~tXYOUSEE NE'V4S W" P14CAL A-DA t The Michigan Daily-Saturday, January 21, 1978-Page 3 Blizzard blankets East Coast I Doctoring While a Guild House luncheon was waiting for speaker Sarah Power yesterday, noted man-about-Diag Richard "Dr. Diag" Robinson en- tertained the group with a nutty tale. Since the whole "Dr. Diag" thing began, Robinson said, he has made the acquaintance of several Ann Arbor squirrels. One of the bushy-tails once leaped on a bench next to Robinson during his Diag diologue, he said, and began a chirpy imitation of the good Doctor. When one Guild house guest suggested Robinson may be the modern-day Francis of Assiss, another pointed out-loand behold-a squirrel sitting outside peering through the win- dow at Robinson. Guess nuts of a feather flock together. By The Associated Press A bitter shroud of snow and ice buried the East Coast yesterday, halting trav- el, marooning thousands, turning cities into ghost towns and everyone into pioneers. The blizzard that began Thursday night was the worst blast of the winter and the third of a rapid-fire series of storms to batter the region in eight days. While Floridians were mopping up af- ter a flurry of tornadoes, rock salt and snow shovels up north were worth their weight in gold, and snow shoes and skis were an ideal mode of transit. MORE THAN A FOOT of paralyzing snow fell overnight from Maryland to Maine and inland to Ohio and Kentuc- ky. Cincinnati had a record 16 inches in 24 hours. The National Weather Service predicted the snow would turn to sleet and freezing rain and continue into the weekend. Flooding was feared. Transportation was stalled through- out the region; Airports, roads and highways were blocked and closed; motorists were stranded; train service was curtailed or halted; buses were scarce. Business was almost at a standstill: Bank ,holidays were declared, stores and government offices were closed. SCHOOLS WERE empty and the re- gion was plagued by power blackouts, collapsed roofs and a sense of help- lessness. For millions, it was a snow-enforced vacation as emergencies were declared in New York City, Rhode Island, Harrisburg, Pa., and elsewhere. Ev- erywhere people were ordered to stay off roads and out of cities and to hole up where they could.. Midtown Manhattan was a drifting desert of snow, Wall Street a gaping wilderness, and the entire New York metropolitan area was crippled. Here" and there a hardy cross-country skiier trudged along Fifth Avenue. OFFICIALS FEARED that growing, dagger-like icicles would plunge from skyscrapers, and the spectacular new Citicorp building on East 54th street posed a bizarre hazard. The street was closed because a one- ton sheet of ice was poised on the north side of the roof which had been built as an experimental solar tower. It was feared the ice could slide off and crush pedestrians and motorists. The storm eroded the nation's business, as commodities, trading was halted at all New York exchanges. The New York and American stock ex- changes opened late at noon. IN BOSTON, six persons were re- ported injured when a subway car ran into another at an above-ground station. In Boston Harbor, fierce winds tore a freighter from its anchorage and shoved it aground. Tugboats battled to dislodge it but failed. A barge carrying more than 6 million gallons of crude oil was adrift off Atlan- tic City, N.J. On the ice-clogged Ohio River, the city of Cincinnati was running' out of salt. Both Kentucky and Tennessee had already been buried for the last week and the new storm meant increasing hardship. IN LOUISVILLE, blood bank sup- plies were running low. In snow- clogged Memphis, Tenn., garbage remained uncollected. Up to 15 inches blanketed parts of Pennsylvania, and schools, airports, public buildings and stores were closed virtually everywhere. Tow trucks worked nonstop to rescue stranded motorists near Philadelphia. "The plows are working but they can't get ahead of the game," said'a trooper at the Belmont barracks in Philadelphia. "There's a lot of people stranded."

Snowed out 0 Any of you who made the trek south to -Columbus last night to see the Michigan roundballers in action against Ohio State, undoubtedly know by now that the game was canceled. (Maybe you even informed the Buckeyes.) Anyway; because Columbus was paralyzed by snow yesterday the game was put off until Monday night, same time, same place. Luckily, the Wolverines knew before they hit the road that it was ixnay on the game. Good thing. Can you imagine a worse place to spend a weekend?"

The news apparently took fellow Pistol Sid Vicious by surprise, for Vicious-whose real name is John Ritchie--downed an overdose of booze and pills and passed out during an L.A.- to-New York flight.

The school dean said the fines were levied after an auditing firm questioned expehditures made by former co-editors Larry Falk and Sid Luscutoff. The expenses included: $181 for the printing of engraved invitations for a party; $69.75 for cigars and tobacco; $56.50 for champagne for a party related to Luscutoff's candidacy for a student office: $1,148.87 for food; $55 for dinner at Trader Vic's restaurant; and $548 for expenses Luscutoff incurred on a trip to Min- nesota, Florida and the Bahamas. Like we said, Join The Daily. Crime does't pay, but it sure tastes good Only difference between Robin Hood and the 15-year-old boy who stole a bakery truck stuffed with goodies Thursday, is that while Robin gave to the poor, this hod sold his finds at a discount. The boy, whose name was not released, made off with the truck which was idling on a Manhatten street and then launched a four-hour romp through the city dispensing cakes, bread, donuts and other baked delicacies at discount prices. The boy, who last year spent time at a juvenile home for taking a joyride in a stolen'Greyhound bus, was charged with grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property. Cut the nonsense, said city cops; cut the cake, said the kid.

Seems the New Milford High School, beset with attendance problems, has come up with a new bribe for the delinquent kiddies: cold cash for the student with perfect attendance. Vice Principal William Brokowski said the school has begun weekly cash lottery drawings giving away $10 to a randomly selected student with perfect attendance for the week. "Some people would consider this a slick Madison Avenue-type approach, but it's part of my style, "Brokowski said. Enough lottery wins, Bill, and maybe some of your students can afford the University of Michigan next year. On the outside ...* Don't blame us, we only predict the weather.
