Cold as hell outside, right? Well, you can thank
your lucky stars you're 'not Leon Sompolinsky or
David Roteberg. These poor guys live up on the
top floor of University Towers on Forest Ave.,
and in the midst of a nationwide panic over energy
shortages, they're living in a steaming tropical
oasis. You're bundling up even when you're i-
side, aren't you? These guys have their windows
open almost all the time. It gets up to about 85
degrees, then they turn on their air conditioning
to get the temp down to the liveable. Building
director Morris Johnson said he hasn't heard the
complaint, but that he'd like to -get on the prob-
lem right away. Leon says he and his roomie
told the maintenance people of the heat but got
no results.

the kids at MSU in East Lansing have discovered
they can - are you ready? - photocopy their
faces. They say the machines in libraries around
campus provide a new, painless and dirt-cheap
way to duplicate themselves. Kathy Trapp says
she's giving away copies as Valentines next month.
Clever. Veterinary student Charles Horowitz brags
that he and his roommates have decorated their
walls with pictures of their scrunched-up, flat-
nosed faces. Lovely. Library officials there-quick
to investigate this new, no doubt rebellious fad -
have concluded it's all legit. (Phew!) "Kids can
copy whatever they want to," said library direc-
tor Richard Chapin, handing down one of his
more controversial decisions during his tenue
at MSU. "It is no violation of the copyright law
for them to copy their faces." What will -those

By UPI and AP
WASHINGTON - Presi-
dent Jimmy Carter told- an
emergency Cabinet session
yesterday that government
and private in d u s t r y
should switch where pos-
sible to a four-day, 10-hour
a day work week to cut
consumption of dwindling
natural gas supplies.
He also said he was or-
dering federal disaster re-
lief for New York and
Pennsylvania because of
the extreme cold, snow and
ice in those states and will
sign emergency aid legis-
lation for, Florida tomor-"
row because of weather-
inflicted crop losses there.
"I DON'T WANT anybody to
be unduly alarmed," Carter told
the Cabinet. "I'd like the whole
process to be done carefully,
methodically and coordinated
with Jack Watson," the White
House assistant Carter placed
in charge of the White House
team monitoring the energy
situation.
"We could save a great deal
of fuel both in government
buildings and also in commer-
cial buildings if we could just
heat the buildings four days a
week," C a r t e r told Cabinet
members.
"But so far we are prevented
from doing that without extra-
ordinary extra costs and I think
there is a legal prohibition. We
are investigating that now."
CARTER ALSO urged the

,

es ge-t
governors of 17 states to give
him assessments of their cur-
rent energy problems,
Carter pointed out that 11
states are, in "some degree of
crisis" and six states are hav-
ing problems because of bLlz-
zard conditions.
The 11 states he listed as in
the "crisis" category weref
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Ken-
tucky, "New York, Ohio, Penn-
sylvania, South Carolina, Ten-
nessee, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia.

did not list the six others af-

United States.
Carter did not elaborate on
how indus' ry and government
would switch to the concentrated
work week, but White House
Press Secretary Jody Powell
said mandatory overtime for
longer work days presented one
hurdle.
The administration considered
amending emergency energy
legislation sent to Congress last
week to suspend overtime pi o-
visions of federal law, but
Powell said there was "reluc-
tance" to raise the issue for
fear it would delay passage of
the measure.
POWELL SAID Carter is sug-

Cold ravages nation;
36 deaths reported
By AP and UPI
Frigid weather and a wind-whipped blizzard brought much of
the East and Midwest to a near standstill yesterday, closing roads,
factories, businesses and places of entertainment.
The freeing or subzero weather that hit much of the eastern
half of the nation during the early morning hours followed a
blizzard that dumped as much as 14 inches of snow on the North-
east.
AT LEAST 36 wea her related deaths have been recorded in
eight states during the recent harsh weather.
Winter's latest sledgehammer blow left ugly scars on Mish-
igan, keeping roads closed, cars stranded and National Guard
crews working in several devastated counties struggling with the

First space slruttle
set for ground tests
PALMDALE, Calif. P)-Half rocket, half airplane, at -this
point 110 tons of dead weight. It's the first space shuttle orbiter,
ready -to be towed from its hangar tomorrow through two desert
cities to a dry lake runway for flight testing.
The delta-winged cargo carrier that will zoom back and forth
from earth to orbit in a few years was hooked to a tractor to pull
it at S to 10 miles an hour to Edwards Air Force Base, 36 miles
away.
ESCORTED BY A convoy of security and pa'rol cars, the
orbiter with its 53-foot-high vertical tail fin was expected to attract
hundreds of residents of Palmdale and Lancaster as it crept along
paved roads. Set to s'art rolling at sunrise, the convoy would
reach its temporary home at Edwards' Dryden Flight Research
Center by late afternoon, said officials of the National Aero-
nautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The re-usable orbiter craft is designed to be fired into space
by disposable rocke's, carry out sicentific work in orbit, then
soar through the atmosphere without power and land like a
glider.
Testing will begin Feb. 18. At first, the 122-foot-long craft will
be attached, pilotless, atop a Boeing 747 jumbo jet. In this piggy-
back setup, the two mated aircraft will roll along the airstrip in

"This is my sweetest victory in 30 years of

Orr. "They shot very, very well."
Ahead 59-57 with fifteen minutes remaining,
Northwestern scored 11 consecutive points in a
span of three minutes, seven of them by Mc-
Kinney, giving the Wildcats a 70-57 lead.
ORR CALLED TIME OUT and regrouped his
forces. He installed a three-guard offense of
Dave Baxter, Steve Grote, and Rickey Green
to combine with John Robinson and Phil Hub-
bard.
"I wanted more quickness," Orr said later.
"We got within two points but couldn't quite
do it."
After 'an exchange of baskets, Michigan coun-
tered with eight straight points of its own, to pull
within fire, 72-67, with 9:25 to play in the period.
AFTER McKINNEY hit a jumper, Baxter
canned a jumper of his own, and Robinson hit
a free throw and a lay-up and Michigan only
trailed 74-72 with 8:12 left.
That was the closest Michigan could get.

ofe or boycott?
By LORI CARRUTHERS
"We are not. going to drink that coffee. Put that cup down,"
Couzens RA Jeff Weinfeld shouts from a table top.
"If you drink it for the caffeine fix," he explained later,
"drink tea-or for a hot drink, try hot cocoa."
BUT THE COFFEE boycott is one current issue that doesn't
seem to be evoking much student activism or interest.
One student, Dave Colburn, said the boycott was important
but has been dwarfed by even greater issues, such as President
Carter's pardon for draft evaders and the execution of Gary
Gilmore.
The principal reason for the boycott-drastic price increames
brought on by a crop-destroying frost and tariff increases by
the Brazilian government-makes the matter an economic rather
than ethical issue, unlike the lettuce and grape boycotts.
