" Back-to-school boys it appears that after a term in the Ford ad- ministration, the latest thing for government of- ficials to do is go back to school. The most recent official to jump on the bandwagon - er school bus - is Treasury Secretary William Simon, who an- nounced his plans on Monday. He will begin a three-year term July 1 on Georgetown University's board of directors. Simon will join his colleague Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who will be lecturing at the school. Although Defense Secre- tary Donald Rumsfeld has not named a specific school, he told reporters early this week he very likely will have a part-time affiliation with a uni- versity." As for the President himself, he said he plans to visit "a number of campuses from one to five days a semester," talking to and answer- ing questions of students and faculty. Whether this University will merit at least one or more days of the President's time is still an unanswered ques- tion at the White House, according to a spokes- person yesterday. 0r Plucky pickers Coffee prices, zooming skyward and beyond late- ly, have prompted thieves on the other side of the globe to pluck coffee berries right off the trees, growers reported yesterday. Alarmed Malaysian farmers are pitching tents among their trees to ward off the caffeine lovers' nightly raids. Nuts to Georgia Jimmy Carter, Georgia's favorite peanut farm- er has received yet another accolade. A resolu- tion introduced Wednesday in the Georgia state Senate would change the state's name from "The Peach State" to "The Peanut State." After all, sponsors of the bill point out the peanut, not the peach, is the state's most prolific crop. "The na- tion is looking at Georgia," asserts State Sen. Frani Sutton, one of the measure's sponsors, "and a great part of his (Carter's) publicity is built around the fact that he is a peanut farmer. Since he's the only president we've ever had from Georgia, I hink it's an honor to him to make this the pea- nut state." Porno for kids A multimillion dollar child pornography indus- try is driving thousands of children into "pro- miscuity, alcoholism, drug addiction, venereal dis- ease and premature parenting", according to Dr. Judianne Densen-Gerber, a noted authority on child abuse. Densen-Gerber, at a news confer- ence held in the heart of the Times Square porno district Thursday, displayed as evidence two films depicting explicit sex acts involving chil- dren between the ages of 8 and 13 (that's no typo, folks) as well as magazines and even a deck of playing cards with youngsters in lewd positions. The good doctor, a mother of four, called the films "the saddest things I've ever seen" and accused the porno maketeers of "destroying our children". On the inside ...

Le ionnaires' disease unraveled Organism linked to mysterious deaths Cold snap cuts fuel supplies, By AP and UPI It snowed in Florida and the Ohio River froze over at Cin- cinnati, where temperatures dipped to a record 25 below yes- terday. Natural gas suppliers and utilities had trouble meet- ipg heating demands. Minnesota declared an ener- gy emergency - and scores of schools and industries closed down amid cold, snow and pow- er troubles. IN SHORT, it remained grip- pingly cold across the nation's eastern half yesterday, and the cold was felt in thousands of ways. Minnesota's energy emergency was declared after officials con- cluded the state might run short up to 2 million barrels of fuel in the next 30 days should cold weathermcontinue. The emerg- ency meant homes, businesses and schools and other institu- tions were ordered to set ther- mostats to 65 during the day and 60 at night. Gov. Ella Grasso of Connecti- cut said a fuel shortage also was threatened in the New Lon- don area because oil barges were unable to get through on the icy Thames River. See ENERGY, Page 2 ATLANTA (AP) - A bacteria-like organism previously un- known as a human killer caused the Legionnaires' Disease which killed 29 persons in Philadelphia last summer, the national Cen- ter for Disease Control (CDC) announced yesterday. The organism, which the CDC called a bacteria for purposes of identification, was isolated from lung tissue of one of the victims of the Legionnaires' Disease, which struck 151 other persons who, eventually recovered. Most of the victims were members of the American Legion attending a convention at a Philadelphtia hotel. THE CDC SAID IT IS NOT KNOWN how the victims con- tacted the disease.

Dade, a research microbiologist A rickettsia is an organism between bacteria and virus on the biologic scale. "IT APPEARS ,to be some- thing we've neve associated with human illness," McDade said. Researchers said .the organ- ism, which has no name; ap- parently is not contagious. "You know whether a disease is contagious or not by wheth- er or not it spreads among the patienits' contacts,'" said Dr. Charles Shepard,chief of the leprosv and rickettsia branch of the CDC. THE DISEASE could have soread by air or water, said Dr. David Fraser, a medical epidemiologist. He said research showed that "the risk of Legion- naires Disease was greater in those who smoked cigarettes." That, he said, is common among respiratory infections. "There was no spread," of the disease among those who came in contact with victims of the Legionnaires' Disease, Shepard said. "THERE IS NO danger to any- one in their communities what- soever," he emphasized.

The State Senate, which had killed the measure twice be- fore, approved it by a vote of 26 to 24 after Carter called a wavering legislator and urged him to vote for the ERA. THE STATE HOUSE of Rep- resentatives passed the measure by a vote of 54 to 45 last week. No action by Governor Otis Bowen is. required. State Senator Wayne Town- send, a Democrat, said after the vote that he had been urg- ed to vote for the measure by bo.A Carter and his wife Rosa- lynn. See INDIANA, Page 2 BODY TO BE CREMATED: Gilmore 's wi: SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - In death, Gary Mark Gilmore got what he wanted with a speed denied him in life. Within minutes of his execu- tion by firing squad Monday morning, technicians were work- ing on the body to preserve portions for medical use. By night, in compliance with his instructions, Gilmore's body had been cremated at a funeral home in Provo. FAMILY SOURCES said the ashes would be spread by air- plane over Provo, where Gil- more lived, and nearby Spring- ville, where his girl friend Ni- cole Barrett lived before she was confined to a mental hos- pital. Gilmore's pituitary gland, eyes, kidneys and liver were re- moved for possible transplant or study, said a brief statement from the University of Utah Medical Center. But the kidneys, "because of the nature of Mr. Gilmore's death, are not medically usable for transplantation," the state- ment said. "At least one of them can be used for medical re- search." THUS ENDED the ordeal for the 36-year-old killer who had cold-bloodedly executed two young men, then demanded he in turn be put to death for his crimes.

That cleared the way for Sen- ate confirmation to put them in office soon after Carter is in- augurated at midday Thursday. THREE Cabinet nominees have yet to be approved, but only one of them, Atty. Gen.- designate Griffin Bell, faces any, significant opposition. Bell, too, is virtually assured of confirmation to join the Car- ter team. The Senate Judiciary Commit- tee scheduled more hearings to- day to be followed by a vote in the afternoon. Bell's confirma- tion hearings already have last- ed five days. BELL has been challenged MSA moves to save Waterman.Barbour By PATTY MONTEMURRI Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) last night approved a recommendation to the University Board of Regents asking them to conduct an in-depth study on alternative uses for the Waterman- Barbour gymnasium complex. At present the University has plans to raze the gyms, which were erected in 1894. But MSA member Steve Carnevale noted that possible uses for the land on which Waterman-Barbour presently stands would not be realized for a least five years. WATERMAN and Barbo'Ir would provide an excellent space, over his civil rights record, which he insists casts him as a Southern moderate when there weren't many' to be found, and over his membership in Atlanta clubs which do not accept black or women members. He said his letters of resignation went to the clubs yesterday. The committee had been set to vote on Bell's nomination yes- terg1ay, but Sen. Charles Ma- thias, (R-Md.), said that at least six additional witnesses wanted to testify. Mathias said he did not know whether they would testify for or against the nomination but felt the committee ought to al- low them to be heard. THE WITNESSES include plaintiffs in school desegrega- tion cases in Atlanta and several other cities, committee staff members said. The blocked nomination was that of TheodoreSorensen, who withdrew on Monday rather than risk defeat or narrow approval to be director of the Central In- telligence Agency.
