Thursday, April 3, 1975 'U' Turns Joys of juggling Anyone can do it with one ball. Even two balls isn't too diffi- cult. But did you ever try doing it with three balls? Or four? You can learn how-by free juggling lessons every Tuesday and Thursday, 3-5 p.m. in the Diag. Mesha the Clown, alias Mesha Walczak, welcomes experienced jugglers, and beginners alike, to the free lessons she will give throughout this month. The former U-M student, who now works as a children's clown, got "turned on to juggling" last spring, through Michael Lynch, an Ann Arbor clown. She then spent the summer travel- ling around the country, searching for clowns and learning more about juggling. She got the idea for the lessons at a similar event in San Francisco," she says. "There were 40 people out juggling on a Saturday afternoon-it was one of the most enjoy- able days I ever had!" Mesha says juggling is not difficult. "I've seen people learn in half an hour," she says. "But it takes concentration." Mesha herself can juggle up to four tennis balls. She also juggles potatoes, clubs, even snowballs. She says she likes "that magical atmosphere that not everyone juggles." And Mesha hopes her free lessons can help others to dis- cover the joys of juggling. MARY MILLER Students sacrifice The cry for blood resounds this week, and U-M students are answering and giving at the Red Cross clinic in the Michigan Union ballroom. "This is the third time this year we've set up a clinic at the University," says Bob Moyer, Washteaw County Blood Program co-ordinator for the American Red Cross. Ordinarily, the blood bank is set up only twice a year, but because unemployment collections for industrial units are down, the Red Cross has called on the student blood program again. Moyer says students who donate blood may give to any of several blood programs. "The student blood bank covers all U-M students plus the families of the donors," he explains. Stu- dents may also donate on a family plan, or give for a specific person in need of blood. Moyer calls the U-M student blood program "very success- ful." Approximately 1,000 pints a week are usually collected, he says, which is close to the national average. In Washtenaw County, where student blood clinics are set up at the Univer- sity, Eastern Michigan University and Concordia College, "we collect one-third of our annual blood from the campuses," says Moyer. Moyer adds, however, that many more students would give "if it were possible to communicate better on campus." The strongest advertising medium for the program, he says, is word- of-mouth. The student blood program, sponsored by the U-M chapter ofthe Alpha Phi Omega fraternity, began five years ago, run- ning a one-day clinic twice a year. Since then, says Moyer, the program has expanded each year. This year the student clinic has operated for a full week in November, February, and now April. Aside from the student blood bank clinics, Moyer says, stu- dents may also give blood at the Red Cross clinic at 2729 Pack- ard, open the second Friday of every month.

S. District Court House in Washington yesterday after the opening of his trial on bribery charges. WASHINGTON (R) - A prosecutor in John Connally's bribery trial said yesterday $10,000 the former treasury secretary is ac- cused of accepting "left footprints . . . right up to Mr. Con- nally." Assistant Special Prosecutor Jon Sale made the statement as he outlined the government's case shortly after a jury of seven women and five men was seated. Sale said the government would present a trail of testimony, hotel records, official appointment books, logs and bank records to prove Connally's old friend Jake Jacobsen gave him two illegal gifts of $5,000 and later tried to cover up with false testimony and new $100 bills intended to fool investigators. AN OPENING statement from Connally's chief defense lawyer, Edward Bennett Williams, was postponed until after a midday recess. Connally is charged with two counts of accepting bribes from Associated Milk Producers Inc. in 1971 in the form of illegal gratuities - what the prosecutors called "thank yous" for Connally's efforts to persuade President Richard M. Nixon to raise milk price supports. The higher price supports were granted by President Nixon. The Associated Milk Producers were Jacobson's clients. Connally has consistently denied the charges. THERE WERE some new elements in the government's case outlined by Sale. He said the jury would be shown certain bank records and other evidence that did not surface publicly in the milk fund investigations last year by the Senate Watergate Com- mittee and the House Judiciary Committee. But the government still says it has only one eywitness to the two alleged bribes. That is Jacobsen himself, who once tes- tified repeatedly that Connally had refused the money and who implicated Connally only after he had received a favorable deal from the government reducing his own criminal charges. ---~- -- FOR WOMEN ONLY We stock a large selection of ORTHO products, including: Delfen contraceptive foam w/ applicator and refill Delfen contraceptive cream w/ applicator and refill Conceptrol cream w/ applicator Ortho-Cream wi applicator and refill SPECIAL: Ortho-gynol contraceptive jelly Pd. Pot. Adv. Surgery postponed,1' economyhits health' CAMBRIDGE, Mass. UP) - People have begun to postpone surgery because of the recession, and hospitals are now oper- ating 10 to 20 per cent below their usual levels, according to a survey conducted by a private research firm. Among its other effects, the economic slowdown contributes to problems hospitals are having paying their bills and reduces demand for medical supplies, according to Richard Hughes, di-, rector of health care study for Arthur Little, Inc. "WE TEND to think of all hospital care as being emergency, but a segment of medical needs are things that are postponable, such as cosmetic surgery," Hughes said. "That's where we're seeing the lighter load.- "Most of the demand for hospital space is still there. It may be 80 or 90 per cent. But instead of hospitals running at 100 or 101 per cent of capacity as before, it's down now." The reduction in demand has been felt most sharply by; suburban hospitals, he said. Big city teaching hospitals are as full as ever. AMONG THOSE who are avoiding hospital stays appear to be people who have been laid off and have lost their group health insurance. "During a recession, people think long and hard before they go into a hospital and take on a serious debt unless it's ap emer- gency," he said. At the same time, private medical insurance companies are trying to cut expenses by challenging claims that they ordinarily would let pass without question, Hughes said. This means that the companies are slower to pay hospitals. And as people rely more heavily on government insurance programs, these funds, too, are slower in getting to hospitals. "NINETY PER CENT of payments to hospitals come from these third parties," he said. "The problem is one of time lag. It takes so long for the hospitals to get money in the front door that they are having a hard time paying their bills." Hospitals used to take 45 to 60 days to pay their bills to medical suppliers, Hughes said. Now they often take 180 days.
