GYMNASIUM
The fate of the 82-year-old
Barbour-Waterman gymnasium
complex remains in limbo after
a December Regents meeting
in which the Board was deluged
with pleas for the University
to take another look at thefu-
ture of the structure, which
was earmarked for demolition
last year. A contingent of stu-
dents, faculty members, and
representatives from state and
community groups objected to
a University "review" prepared
by William Sturgis, an assistant
to former Vice President and,
Chief Financial Officer Wilbur
Pierpont. The report rec-
ommended- that the building
be torn down.
Opponents of the Sturgis re-
port claim that only superficial
attention was given to potentiall
uses for the buildings, and that
the structures' historic signifi-
cance had not been considered.
ECONOMICS PROF. William
Shepherd argued that the cen-
ter of student activity on cam-
pus had shifted over the last
decade - away from the Stu-
dent Activities Building and the
Union on the eastern edge of
the campus and towards the
Hill area dorms and North cam-'
pus. Shepherd thinks Barbour-
Waterman has considerable po-
tential as a student center.
In a long, methodical response,
University President Robben
Fleming, in effect, agreed with
the groups, saying that there
would be no problem in find-
ing alternative uses for the
building. He added, however,
that the movement to save Bar-
bour - Waterman has evolved
outside normal decision-making,
systems, which runs through the
schools and colleges into the ad-
ministration. There were, he
concluded, other priorities for
use of the land Barbour-Water-
man, now occupies.
But the presentation had an'
effect. At least one Regent,
Sarah Power (D-Ann Arbor), ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the
Sturgis report, and 'Vice Presi-
dent for Academic Affairs Frank
Rhodes is apparently taking an-
other look at possible reuse for
the building. He will make his
recommendations to the Regents'
later this month.
VA NURSESj
Courtroom proceedings have
begun in the Ann Arbor Veter-
an's Administration (VA) Hos-
pital mass murder case. De-
fense attorneys for the two ac-
cused Filipino nurses introduc-
ed motions challenging evidence
crucial to federal prosecutors.
The two nurses, Filipina Nar-
ciso, 30, and Leonora Perez, 32,
are charged with murdering five
patients at the hospital in the
summer of 1975 by injecting
them with deadly doses of Pavu-
lon,, a powerful muscle relax-
ant. They have also been in-
dicted on one charge of con-
spiracy to murder and ten
counts of poisoning.
DEFENSE ATTORNEYS arel
expected to challenge the testi-
mony 'of two patients who suf-
believe McCrery suffered from
amnesia brought on by open-
heart surgery following his at-
tack.
U.S. District Court Judge Phil-
ip Pratt must rule on these mo-
tions, among others, before jury
selection can begin. The trial
is slated to begin February 1.

Ford has agreed to
presidential papers in
to be built on North
Campus and funded by private
donations. It will be operated
by the federal government as
part of the National Archives.
Under the terms of an agree-
ment between the University
and the White House, the papers
will remain the property of the
U.S. government, although they
will be housed on campus. Rich-
ard Doolen, assistant director of
the Bentley Historical library
called the presidential papers
"a very important addition" to
the University's collections.

THE PBB research team is'
headed by Dr. Irving Selikoff
of Mt. Sinai Hospital in New,
York City and is being funded
by a grant from the National
Institute of Environmental
Health.
The team studied 1,029 people
who were heavily exposed to
PBB and found:
@ 25 per cent had central
nervous system disorders, in-
cluding loss of coordination and;
memory;
0 25 per cent suffered skin
disorders, including chloracne
(a form of chemically-induced
acne), boils, dry skin, rashes,
and rapid nail and hair growth;
0 20 per cent had unusual
swelling or pain in joints, sim-
ilar to arthritis;
@ 15 per cent had gastro-in-
testinal disorders.
The team will begin control
samples soon to see if these
health problems are directly
linked to PBB consumption.
