Building It's sometimes hard to catch a breath of fresh air in the Chemistry Building. Ventilation is so bad, in fact, that within five years state officials will likely declare the building unfit for laboratory work, according to Thomas Dunn, the Chemistry Department chairman. THE BUILDING, which sits on the north side of the Diag, is on the way to obsolesence, and was designed for use by only about half the number of students and faculty members who now work there, Dunn said. The steps for approval of a new University building are many and complex, but University planners say they are considering the possibility of replacing the Chemistry Building. Renovation or replacement of the structure is one of the University's "upper priorities," said Douglas Sherman, assistant vice president for capital planning. Sherman stressed, though, that no definite plan has been proposed. The western portion of the building, opposite the Natural Science Building, was constructed in 1908, and the eastern half went up 32 years ago. ALL FOUR FLOORS and basement of the Chemistry Building contain offices, research labs, and teaching labs. The building has ten large teaching laboratories to accommodate some 3,700 undergraduates each semester. Two people who work in the building say they have become sick inhaling bad air, and chemistry instructors say students occasionally complain to them about headaches and nausea after working in the labs. Dunn said there is "an increasing problem with respect to (state established) clean air standar- ds" that get more stringent each year. "I don't think anyone could say that it's dangerous," he, said, adding that the building falls short on some of the building code requirements in fire p 'even- tion and ventilation. ONE GRADAUTE student in chemistry, who asked not to be named, said she is particularly sensitive to one substance that floats through the air in the building. She said that on three oc- casions, she has been affected by fumes carried into her lab through the building's ventilation system. The first time was last summer, she said, She was working in the lab with several other people when they smelled fumes. "I wasn't paying any attention toituntil I landed on the floor," she said. The substance does not make her pass out, she said, but she loses control of the muscles in her legs and' arms. She said that after co-workers helped her outside, she felt better, but not until the next day did she feel normal. "It's no chemical that we're using, so it has to be coming from another part of the building," the gradaute student said. WILLIAM JOY, director of the University's Department of Occupatioal Safety and Health, said that when members of his department were called in on thepwoman's case, they followed a set procedure for finding the odor. Joy said the department responded as quickly as possible, within a matter of minutes. So far, he said, even though they have been all through the Chemistry Building, the department has not yet found the source of the odor. The professor in charge of the laboratory, Rick Francis, confirmed that he and about six others working in the lab had gotten headaches or felt nauseous.

The new agreement passed by a 4-1 margin, with 445 votes cast in favor, 134 against. AFSCME represents more than 2,100 service personnel on all three University campuses, Dearborn, Flint, and Ann Arbor. UNDER TERMS of the new contract, -the employees will receive an average wage increase of 83.5 cents per hour over 25 months, with an average per hour wage hike of 38.5 cents this year, and 45 cents next year. Union negotiators also had sought a cost-of-living increase, but this request was not granted. "It (the cost-of-living icrease) was something we just couldn't get. Wetried, but the Univer- sity wouldn't give it to us," Newman said. When it became apparent AFSCME negotiators would not get that increase, they told the University to "give us the best possible package you can," bargaining chairman Art Anderson told the membership at the meeting.

By MARK PARRENT It was a strange setting for an engagement announcement. Asrows of Army ROTC cadets stood in formation shortfy after dawn in front of their drab barracks, the student leader announced that cadets Matthew Winter and Marisa Berrios had decided the night before to get married. A thunderous cheer arose from the ranks, breaking the crisp morning air and rolling across the parade grounds. The early morning proclamation, made .while most of the cadets' peers back in Ann Arbor still sound asleep, highlighted the contrast between ap- pearance and substance of a recent ROTC training{exercise. While the cadets in their drab olive fatigues ap- pared to be soldiers preparing for war, in many ways the weekend outing was, an escape, a social event. The unique diversion from clases oc- curred last weekend, when more than 100 Army ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) cadets from the University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan University, and the Univer- sity of Detroit gathered at Camp Custer just outside of Battle Creek for a three- day field training exercise. Cadets ran the entire activity themselves-over- seen by Army officers--using a -rank hierarchy similar to the actual Army system. EXERCISES INCLUDED combat simulation, cross-country orienteering, weapon assembly and cleaning, and armored vehicle instruction. But the weekend also gave the students a chan- ce to get away from the rigors of University life for at least a short time. After the cadets arrived at Camp See FOR, Page 2 MSA Election Results r . .See.FOR,.Pag. .2 Libyan troops leave Uganda From Reuter and UPI NAIROBI, Kenya - Libyan troops sent to Uganda to bolster President Idi Amin's regime against an invasion by Tanzanian troops and Ugandan exiles have been flown out of the country, diplomatic sources in Kampala said yesterday. Phone links with the Ugandan capital, a city virtually surrounded by the anti-Amin invasion forces, were later 'cut off. Post office officials in Nairobi said this could have been caused by the fighting. KAMPALA RESIDENTS contacted before the phones went dead said they heard the sound ,of tanks moving around the cityyesterday, as well as sporadic outbursts of gunfire. When communications with the out- side world were restored late Saturday night, after the Kampala curfew had gone into effect, residents of the capital said everything was "calm and quiet." They reported there had been heavy gunfire during the afternoon in the 'Sunday n 3,000 protesters yesterday turned out for the christening of a new type of submarine, the most powerful to carry Trident nuclear missiles yet. Despite the demon- stration, however, Sen. John Glenn (D-Ohio), said the vessel will be a war deterrent. See story, Page 3.

A local broadcast of Radio Tanzania beamed at Kampala said, "the final assault" on the Ugandan capital had begun, and warned people to stay in their homes. That particular radio station has issued similar reports for several days, however. THE NEWS OF the Libyan with- drawal came, the' official Kenya news agency issued a statement from the Kenyan High Commissioner to Zambia saying Kenya could not be counted as on the side of President Amin, whose regime violated basic human rights and was "on the verge of total collapse." The agency later issued a note can- celling the dispatch and saying it had been issued before clearance was sought, Kenya has been neutral in the conflict between its neighbors. Diplomatic sources in Kampala said the Libyan troops, numbering about 1,000, had been flown out of the country in C-130 transport planes from the Israeli-built military airbase at Nakasongola, 70 miles north of the capital. EXILE SOURCES said some of the Libyans, many of whom were seen boarding trains at towns east of Kam- pala Friday, had left Uganda from the northeastern airbase of Soroti. A Ugandan rebel unit shelled Nakasongola base soon after the Libyans had left, but it was not known how much damage they caused, the exile sources said. President Amin Friday gave what Radio Uganda said was a live broad- cast from its Kampala studios, in which he urged Ugandans not to panic and not to fear the enemy bombardment as the invaders were at least 40 miles from the capital. The president was reported by diplomatic sources to have been seen in Kampala Friday, despite persistent rumors that he was about to leave the country. Exile sources said yesterday he had been seen at various points east of the capital. With the phone lines dead, there was little way of knowing what was hap- pening in Kampala.
