More Power to her
The University's Power Scholarship is the most prestigious on cam-
pus, and this year, for the first time ever, it went to a woman. Anne
McLaughlin, a senior from Birmingham, Mich., will study at Cambridge
University in England next year. The scholarship, which marks its 10th
anniversary this year, has been awarded annually to a graduate of the
University and a graduate of Cambridge's Magdalene College to attend
each others schools for a year. But Magdalene is a men's college; thus,
the scholarship has always gone to men. So McLaughlin will attend
another of Cambridge's colleges - New Hall - where she will study legal
history. Best of luck.
Hunger strike
Fifteen Iranian students at Michigan State University have instituted
a hunger strike to protest what the students call "the savage attacks of
the Shah's police and.SAVAK, the Shah's secret police, inflicted on the
Iranian people in recent demonstrations in Iran." Amid the rather in-
congruous surroundings of the Plaza Hotel in East Lansing, the students
reportedly began fasting'Tuesday night and plan to continue through this
afternoon. Iranian students in Ann Arbor plan a demonstration this mor-
ning on the Diag to support the strike and to demonstrate solidarity with a
comrade jailed in a demonstration at Burton Tower Nov. 10, allegedly for
"wearing a mask." The jailed student goes to court Tuesday morning.
Terminal illness
Yesterday was a dark day for engineers and computer science
students, as the Michigan Terminal System (MTS) followed its CRISPy
counterpart - Wednesday's victim - into mechanical sleepy-land. The
great machine fizzled at 9:00 a.m. and was still out late in the afternoon,
with panicky programmers praying for the delivery of a needed part
from Chicago by early evening.

Time,
pollution,
threaten
treasures
ATHENS, Greece (AP) - An inter-
national conference of archeologists
was told yesterday that "worldwide
last-hour support" is needed -to
rescue the shrines of Acropolis hill
from the ravages' of time and
pollution.
"Whatever must be done to save
these priceless treasures must be
done now, with no further delay,"
Greek Culture Minister George Ply-
tas said in a speech opening the
three-day conference. It is sponsored
by Greece and UNESCO, which in
January began a worldwide appeal
for $30 million to rescue the 2,600-
year-old antiquities overlooking
Athens.
"These monuments . .. almost un-
paralleled in the world today, now
stand sick and ill-protected," Plytas
said.
"FIRES, bombardments, incor-
reet restorationwork and the passing
of centuries have all left their mark.
We are in fact calling for worldwide
last-hour support to save one of the
foremost shrines to the , world's
present civilization."
Attending the symposium are 100
experts from 10 countries, including
the United States and Western and.
Eastern Europeannations.
Restoration efforts began two
yeasrs ago after UNESCO, the U.N.
Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization, issued a report on the
condition of the Acropolis temples.
They are largely the work of Phidias,
a sculptor of the 5th century B.C., the
golden age of Pericles at the height of
Athenian power.
The report said modern atmos-
pheric pollution that wears away the
shrines' marble surfaces has caused
moretdamage over the past 40 years
than that of the previous four cen-
turies.
The report said underground
cracks and water, earth movement,
wars and looting were older causes of
decay. It said bad restoration in the
1900s took a toll, when metal supports
were installed that contracted and
expanded with heat changes and
damaged the marble.

ASH

Rubin, the ex- Yippie leader who
now bills himself as "1960's war
activist and Chicago 7 defend-
ant," has turned travel agent.
Rubin is trying to organize a tour
of theMiddle East for college
editors-in-chief or their repre-
sentatives. "Negotiations are
now going on with both Israel
and Egypt on the details of the
trip," Rubin writes, adding that
he hopes to make the journey as
cheap as possible, perhaps even
free. "In the 1960's college
students were concerned with
national and international
politics," the letter says.
"Today's college student is re-
ported to be unconcerned. Con-
cern begins with knowledge and
information. The purpose of this
trip is to stimulate knowledge and
information, and begin to count-
er student apathy."

On the outside.. .
Don't even bother to get up this morning. Oh, you say you're up al-
ready. Well, then you might as well know the worst. What our rather droll
weatherperson calls "the fringe of a storm," will gradually end by this
evening, but in its place will be 30 m.p.h. winds, gusting up to 40 m.p.h.
and blowing all that white stuff into big drifts. Today's high will be 21, but
it will come too early in the morning for anyone's benefit, and tem-
peratures will drop to a ridiculous three degrees by tonight. Aloha.
