stairs" Later in the morning, rugs
were placed on the stairways to
divert the water outdoors but,
nevertheless, flooding continued
and throughout the day the cor-
ridors were treacherously slippery.
In addition to the basic coating
which seemed everywhere, some
spots were ankle-high in the
murky floodwaters. "I had to wade
up to our room," complained De
French 362 student Karen Laako,
"13.
To alleviate the necessity to
wade through the MLB a crew
patrolled some corridors laterin
the morning and vacuumed the
water away.
Yet late in the afternoon the
floors were still slippery. "I could
have broken my neck," said Da-
vid Margolick, '74, on his way to
the literary college faculty meet-'
ing.
Flooding was not the only by-
product of the frozen sprinklers,
however. One junior reported that
"the electricity went haywire" in
her Asian Music class. "The
strangest think was when the
blackboard started sparkling,"
she 'commented.
In addition, there was a slight
electrical fire, reported Bland
Leverette an administrative' asso-
ciate in the literary college. Lev-
erette said hewas "notfamiliar
with the extent of the damage,"
and he did not think there were
any significant interruptions.
In the Plant Department, Dick
Wedge, supervisor of operations
and maintenance estimated that
there was "not too much damage",
other than "some ceiling trouble."
According to the Scheduling Of-
fice account of flood results, class
rescheduling had been anticipated
but "any rescheduling that did oc-
cur was informally arranged."
Departmental sources within the
MLB were not clear on the flood's
effects on class attendance and
meetings.

ing themselves, using a stolen car
or avoiding arrest would be ex-
cluded from coverage, although
survivors of those killed in such
cases would be protected.
Milliken's plan also retains the
existing legal system for deter-
mining liability for commercial
vehicles, motorcycles, damage to
property other than moving cars,
and income loss in excess of the
amount provided on no-fault basis.
Legislative committees in both
the State Senate and House are
presently studying several no-
fault automobile insurance bills.
Four modif.ied no-fault bills in
the House, co-sponsored by Rep.
James Heinze (R-Battle Creek)
and Rep. Matthew McNeely (D-
Detroit). would provide medical
and hospital no-fault payment up
fees incurred in liability suits.
However, Rowe said that th
cost of collision coverage may in
crease.
Although some insurance com-
panies support no-fault insuranc
plans, other argue that the pres
ent system is not designed to wor

They argue that assigning faul
is necessary to deter carelessnes
and prevent people from ignorin
their responsibility on the road.
No-fault programs have als
drawn criticism from lawyer
groups, who charge that no-faul
reforms will not help unclog th
courts.
However, proponents of no
fault insurance programs clai.
that many lawyers are opposed t
the programs because they ear
much of their living by represent
ing claimants in auto liabilit
suits.

to $2,000, as compared to Milli-
r- ken's proposed unlimited coverage.
These bills are favored by most
insurance companies.
The McNeely-Heinze proposals
would also limit disability pay-
ment to a year duration and abol-
r- ish recovery rights for pain and
1r suffering in all but serious injury
for cases.
tad According to Bob Rowe, State
ur. Deputy Commissioner of Insur-
gs, ance enactment of a no-fault in-
y- surance plan would result in a
i- substantial reduction of the cost
of of automobile insurance. Most
claims would be paid quickly and
