A little vignette from the world of the big 'U' illustrates th'e delicate timing and vivid imagination that go into the making of a rumor. Picture this scene: It's approximately 12:30 yesterday, another quiet, routine day of comings and goings at the Union. Suddenly, a sharp blast rings out, much like the sound of a gun firing. A few minutes later, po- lice and an emergency unit arrive and take away a 'prostate figure. Curious observers, visions of' Adam-12 and Dragnet dancing in their heads, pass the word that somebody has been shot. Upon get- ting wind of the alleged gunplay, we check with the desk at the Union and to and behold, the truth shines forth. Apparently, the rumor germina- ted from an unusual confluence of unrelated events: the backfire of a garbage truck and an unfortu- nate soul's fainting attack. Is this how Rona Bar- rett got started? Attention, comrades! Whether you fancy yourself a budding Lenin or Trotsky or just a curious proletarian like the rest of us, you might be interested to know that Elio Gabbuggiani, mayor of Florence, Italy and member of the Central Committee and Direzione of the Italian Communist Party will be on cam- pus next Tuesday to deliver a public address on "Eurocommunism and the Future of Italy." One of the leading figures in the Italian Communist Party, Gabbuggiani has gained prominence for his efforts to improve relations between Italian Com- munists and the U.S. He is in the area heading up an official delegation from his city, the his- toric center of the Italian Renaissance, to honor the opening of Detroit's Renaissance Center. UAC's new team The University Activities Center (UAC) - the organization which funds Musket drama produc- tions, sponsors Mediatrics flicks and brings big- name rock groups to campus, among other things- has put together its team for next year. As presi- dent, Steve Carnavale, an engineering and business major, will call the plays and provide leadership. Carnavale, who played in the student government league as a vice-president for MSA, is expected to be a seasoned and versatile performer. Robert Martin, a music major, will assist Carnavale from his .coordinating vice-president position. Dave Daugherty, a business major, will be responsible for the financial "muscle" of the operation.

The reports fed new ten- sions on a continent sim- mering with ideological, re- gional, tribal and racial confrontations. THE SOUTH AFRICA auth- orities in Windhoek, capital of South-West Africa (Namibia) said about 700 black refugees have fled south from Angola in recent weeks to escape new fighting-between Cuban backed government troops and guer- rillas of the Union for the To- tal Independence of Angola (UNITA). UNITA, led by Jonas Savim- bi, was one of two black na- tionalist factions that battled against Agostinho Neto's Marx- ist - oriented Popular Move- ment (MPLA) during the civil Regents to discuss tuition, PPtoday. By MICHAEL YELLIN An eight to ten per cent tuition hike, an amended procedure for program discontinuance and the re-organization of the Depart- ment of Population Planning (DPP) are practically assured of approval at the Regents' monthly meetings today and tomorrow. Although the Regent will probably not settle on an exact figure for the expected tuition increase for the 1977-78 school year, they are expected to approve tentative figures tomorrow. THE FINAL DRAFT of the Guidelines for the Discontinuance of Academic Programs, tentatively approved at the Regents' Feb- ruary meeting, have since been amended by the Senate Assembly. See REGENTS, Page 7 war in the former Portugu colony. The MPLA was declared v ner of the war last year, la ly with the help of Soviet ai and 12,000-15,000 Cuban trot many of whom are still in, gola.

Direc(or s accusations irk Stockwell studentts' REPRESSION IN CHILE: Letelier tells of terror By PAULINE TOOLE Isabel Letelier, widow of the late Chilean exile Orlando Letel last night discussed her husband's death and the terror surround Chileans who oppose the junta government. "That morning, we said goodbye," she told a crowd of who gathered in the Pendleton Room of the Union. "The n thing I knew, I was fighting FBI agents at the George Washi ton Hospital so that I would be allowed to see what was left my husband." ORLANDO LETELIER was killed in September when a bo blast destroyed the car in which he and his companion, Randi M fit, were riding. His death, she charged, was never investigated. Letelier requested government investigation of the death her husband.-She named possible collaborators in the assassinat See LETELIER, Page 12 da. By SUE WARNER to Two Stockwell residents are seeking action rm- against their building director, Mildred Morris, ing who they charge has falsely accused them of setting a fire outside the women's residence hall last month. The two Filipino sophomores, Consuelo Ancog and Evalour Ramos, have gone before housing officials with their complaint against Morris. They allege that she called them into her office on April 1 and stated that she had seen them at the site of the March 15 fire. HOWEVER, MORRIS' only official action in the case has been to write both women a "warn- ing" letter asserting that they started the blaze ier, and emphasizing the dangers of fire. ing In the letter, Morris explained the two-week delay between the date of the fire and her con- 70 frontation with the two women, saying that she ext had consulted with other housing officials and rng- concluded that the letter would be more effective of than harsh disciplinary action. Morris was unavailable for comment yesterday. mb She is out of town for the week as is Housing of- Director John Feldkamp, who is studying the matter. THE BLAZE, set on a concrete apron just out- of side of Stockwell's cafeteria, did not cause any ion serious damage to the building. "We deny the charges and have proof of where we were that night," Ancog said. "We're bring- ing it to the housing directors and telling them that we're innocent. We don't know why Mrs. Morris is saying this. We'd like to see the guilt properly established." However, Associate Housing Director Robert Hughes explained his office's immediate plans for dealing with the problem: "We're asking Mrs. Morris to try to get this matter resolved with the students when she returns next week. "IF IT CANNOT be resolved at that level," he said, "then it will have to be resolved at a higher level in the organization. But we won't make a decision until all the facts are in." "She has accused us in writing and we want some action taken by the housing directors," An- cog said. "If nothing is done, we'd like to take her to court and charge her with fabricating false accusations or defamation of character, but we're not really sure we have a case." "We don't think she's capable of taking care of 400 girls," she charged. "We'd like to see her suspended or demoted." ,According to Ancog, a group of Stockwell resi- dents are discussing the idea of starting a peti- tion, demanding Morris' removal from her posi- tion. The students claim Morris has demonstrated incompetence in other areas as well as the recent fire incident. Ancog particularly cited irregulari- ties in Stockwell's room lottery system. Letelier Holden: Ba bies get a second chance By LAURA LIEBLER The proud parents of three other healthy children, the Issels were hardly prepared when their fourth child was b o r n. two months early-and nearly dead. With underdeveloped lungs in danger of collapse, David Issel's tiny, gray body was unable to sustain itself without outside aid. Ten years ago, David would have certainly died within hours of birth. However, new special- ized facilities like those at the Holden Center in the Univer- sity's medical center complex offered David a chance to live. NOW ONE of Holden's success stories, 18-month-old David has since developed into a normal, healthy t o d d l e r who races through his Ann Arbor home at a pace his brother Mark de- scribes as "nerve-wracking." At the University, critically ill newborns can receive special- ized medical assistance at the Holden Intensive Care Nursery. This unit, part of the James and Lynelle Holden Perinatal Re- search Laboratories, provides a specialized staff and sophisti- cated equipment, among the best in the state, to treat babies born prematurely, with birth de- fects or with metabolic diseases. TTa T~n1Aan Ani1ina annnpan by his premature birth. His un- derdeveloped lu n g s made his breathing undependable. His im- mature liver could not break down food and waste products efficiently, so jaundice was a constant threat. And a fetal blood vessel that usually closes at birth, remained open, caus- ing much of his blood to bypass the lungs and travel through the body without sufficient oxygen. "David wasn't expected to live for the first 24 hours," Issel says. "We had people all over the country praying for him. "When I went to see David, he would grab my finger and pull. When I prayed for him, it seemed like he pulled harder. I think he could sense that we wanted this baby, and that he had to fight to live." TO TREAT problems such as David's, the Holden staff relies heavily on complex equipment. Each newborn lives in an in- cubator that controls the heat and humidity of the baby's en- vironment. S p e c i a l sensors taped to the infant's body lead to monitors that register vital signs-heart rate, body temper- ature, blood p r e s s u r e-and alarms sound when the signs See BABIES, Page 2 _.. ?,:;..
