But Time (stubbornly) marches on
Just when you're on your way across the Diag to take your hardest
midterm and you can't keep your eyes open because you stayed up all
night doing the reading you put off all term and your wonderingshow
you're going to take an exam you can't even see, you just know you
shouldn't have done all that and you vow never to do it again, but in the
meantime you know you don't know the material and you wish time would
just stop for awhile so you could get some sleep and do that studying you
should have done in the first place. With luck, and an overly trusting prof,
you might just be able to get away with the newest of excuses: time stop-
ped. You'd have to stretch it just a bit, but why not use the excuse that as
you passed the east face of the Burton Tower clock (which, of course you
always rely on to give the most accurate time by which to plan your busy
dad) it showed 6:55 as the time. That's where the hands of that clock have
been stuck for most of this week. Since the class wasn't supposed to meet
until 10:10 (who schedules classes any earlier?) you went back home to
catch a few of the winks you missed last night. Then, if the professor
believes that one, try to sell him or her a used car by telling her an old
woman used it only to drive to church on Sundays, and pocket the change.

Ex-UMW Pres. Boyle
re-convicted of murder

MEDIA, Pa. (AP) - W. A. "Tony"
Boyle was convicted today of ordering
the death of the man who sought to oust
him as president of the United Mine
Workers union.
Boyle was convicted - for the second
time - on three counts of first-degree
murder. The jury found that Boyle had
given the orders that led to the 1969
deaths of union rival Joseph "Jock"
Yablonki and Yablonski's wife and
daughter. The verdict carries a man-
datory life term in Pennsylvania.
The Yablonski's were shot to death in
their rural home in Clarksville in the
western Pennsylvaia coal region.
BOYLE showed no emotion when the
jury f9reman announced the verdict
less than an hour after the panel retur-
ned for the second day of deliberations.
Judge Francis Catania had told the
jurors they could return any of four
verdicts - guilty of murder in the first
degree, guilty of second-degree- mur-
der, guilty of manslaughter or nor
guilty.
"It's not necessary to prove a
motive," Catania told the jurors, but he
added that they must be convinced
beyond a reasonable doubt of Boyle's

alleged participation in the killings to
convict him of murder of any degree.
THE JURORS retired to judge Boyle
Friday after both the prosecution and
defense attorneys delivered two-hour
closing arguments. Special Prosecutor
Richard Sprague asked them to "say it
loud and clear.. . it's first-degree
murder or not guilty. Do not com-
promise!"
And Boyle's attorney, A. Charles
Peruto, asked the jurors not to be
swayed by the gory details of the
slayings.
Boyle was found guilty of ordering
Yablonski killed after the UMW in-
surgent announced his candidacy to
take the presidency of the union from
Boyle.
BOYLE REFUSED to talk about the
verdict with reporters, but his attorney
said he would ask for a new trial.
Delaware County Judge Francis
Catania agreed to continue Boyle's
bail at $250,000 until Feb. 24, at which
time, Catania said, the court would
reserve the right to possibly increase or
revoke the bail. Boyle was ordered to
remain in the Media area until that

Boyle
date. The victim's two sons, Joseph Jr.
and Kenneth, briefly huddled with
members of the prosecution team
before leaving the courtroom.
"Get away from me," said Joseph
Yablonski Jr. to one newsman who
asked his reaction to the verdict. Ken-
neth told another newsman: "I don't
have anything to say."

were made for the outdoorsy types today. For those of you
who can manage to get your eyes open and your heads in gear very
early, put your hiking boots on and tote your lunch to the Fox Village
Theater parking lot at 8 a.m. for a hike through the Mud Lake Bog to
be led by Dave Baker... and for those of you who can't get it together
quite so early, the Sierra Club.will be meeting at 1 p.m. in the City Hall
parking lot for a hike through Kensington Metropark. . for those of
you who would rather watch someone else do the work, there will be a
gymnastics meet at 1:30 p.m. in Crisler Arena.. . for those of you who
would rather stay indoors, Kwasi Aduonum will lead an African music
and dance workshop at 2 p.m. at Alice Lloyd Hall ... then, for those of
you who would rather sit still, you can attend a 7:30 meeting of
AKTSIA (Action for Soviet Jewry and Human Rights) in the Kuenzel
.Room of the Union ... and finally, for those persons who like to usee
their eyes and ears, why not attend a film, "Revolution Until Victory,'
at 8:30 p.m. in the International Center. . . the rest of the evening is
left for those who 0ould rather sleep.. . limping right along into Mon-
day (after all those hikes, wouldn't you be limping, too?), why not pick
up some refreshments at the Inmate Project's Bake Sale which starts
bright and early at 8 a.m. in the Fishbowl. They'll be there until 2 p.m.
... at noon, in 307 UGLI, prepare yourselves for "Energy: Infor-

through dinner, until 7:30 p.m. when the Inmate Project will have a
slide show on "The Sanford Prison Study" in MLB, lecture room 1
... or, at thatsame time, you can work on the simplification of your
life in a workshopled by Judy Cumbree of the American Friends Ser-
vice Committee ... and if none of that suits your fancy, you may just
as well hang it up for the day.
On the outside .. .
... it could be something to write home about if your parents live
amidst the East Coast storms, because this week of beautiful weather
will be continuing for at least today and tomorrow. You can make the
folks jealous by telling them all about our sunny skies. Don't forget to
note, however, even though our temperatures stay at about 25 degrees,
that's 10 degrees below normal for this time of year. The lows for Sun-
day and Monday will be sinking down to about 6 degrees. This kind of a
rut we can take.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Carter
administration is considering a na-
tional health insurance plan that would
require all Americans to carry basic
health coverage, which could be ob-
tained from the government as well as
from private insurance companies.
Under the plan, private insurance
companies would set their own rates in
competition with the government. But
the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare (HEW) would regulate the
industry to insure that people choosing
private companies over the federal
plan would still be getting adequate in-
surance.
THE CONCEPT is described in one of
several option papers prepared for the
administration by HEW planners. It is
getting official attention because it is
"newer and sexier than some of the
ideas that have been kicked around for
ten years," administration sources
said.,
The sources said President Carter's
eventual national health care proposal
to Congress later this year likely will
contain elements of several plans now
being developed and tested at HEW.
The plan presently receiving the most
attention would establish a federally
run insurance program and require all
U.S. residents who can afford it to pay
premiums calculated on the basis of ac-
tual health costs in their area.
, WELFARE RECIPIENTS and others
now covered by Medicaid programs
would have their premiums paid by the
government out of general tax
revenues. Those eligible for Medicare

would pay the same premium share as
they do now.
But in an important departure from
earlier proposals for "federalizing" the
health insurance system, the "publicly
guaranteed" plan would permit groups
and some individuals to opt out of the
government plan if they could do better
dealing with private insurance com-
panies.
