A 60 year old tradition at the Martha Cook dor- mitory was only a memory when the building opened its doors last week, The residents of the all women dorm have telephones in their rooms for the first time this year. And the ancient switchboard which handled all calls, has been dismantled ana donated to the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre's prop collection. The 150 women had shared hall phones and complained that their calls were constantly interrupted by switchboard operators with incoming calls. WASHINGTON (UPI) - From four rows deep in a welcoming crowd, a tall young woman held her daughter across the heads of people in front to shake hands with the President of the United States. Gerald Ford, smiling and eager, stretched across a restraining fence to touch the child with one hand while grasping at other well-wishers closer to him. IN THAT MOMENT - as in countless others - the President was making the personal contact he values so highly in trying to reach out to Americans. But in such moments, not even the best efforts by Secret Service agents can protect him entirely. And hours later, only a mixture of good fortune and bungling by another young woman - this one reaching out with a gun - prevented Ford's death. THE FIRST SCENE at Boeing Field in Seattle and the second in Sacramento were wholly dif- ferent but equally simple and so typical of the potential risks inherent in Ford's totally open style of campaigning. The question left in the wake of the attempt on his life is whether Ford can and will change that style. See related stories, Page5 Despite Friday's close call, Ford said the in- cident "in no way will prevent me or preclude me from contacting the American people as I travel from one state to another.". He then passed up his first two opportunities to prove it by waving from a distance instead of plunging into large crowds cheering him as he left a Sacramento hotel and McClellan Air Force Base to fly home. "WE HAD A GREAT trip - just a fraction of a second or two that disturbed things - but. )y attemp everything else was superb," Ford said as he ar- rived at the White House. "I don't know why all the bother." But several White House aides predicted Ford would temper his campaign style for a while - much like a driver slowly regaining confidence after an automobile accident. Lynette Alice Fromme came into Ford's life shortly before he was to deliver the last of eight speeches in a grueling West Coast trip through three states in less than 24 hours. IRONICALLY, SHE appeared in a crowd as Ford was making his way on foot to the California Capitol to call anew for mandatory prison sen- tences for crimes committed with a dangerous weapon. After the attempt Ford, his face ashen, was rushed to the safety of the Capitol, less than 75 yards away, Fromme could be heard yelling: "It didn't go off, can you believe it? It didn't go off!" AUTHORITIES said four bullets were in the automatic clip but none were in the firing cham- ber. A .45 must be activated manually to bring the first bullet into the chamber and it appeared that Ford's assailant simply botched a perfect chance to assassinate the President. Perhaps nobody was more surprised by the episode than Ford. His associates said later the President naturally always knew such a thing could happen, but because he was so comfortable with large crowds and so eager to please them he tended to forget the possibility anybody would want to hurt him. Moreover, the President is said to feel that. he campaigns better in the informal settings of air- ports and city streets than behind a lectern with a prepared speech - reflecting his 25-year career as a congressman from Grand Rapids, Mich. Some aides said Ford was so quick to. down- grade the seriousness of the Sacramento inci- dent because he wanted to maintain his style. on ife Whiting A University of Michigan China expert says secret signals between Peking and Washington during the Indochina War prevented a full-scale war from erupting between the two super powers. Political sciencF- Prof. Allen Whiting, writes in his upcoming book "The Chinese Calculus of De- terrence" that the two world powers both care- fully measured and exercised deterrent steps and responses to each other's actions in the Indochina War to avoid the confrontations that developed in the Korean conflict.

"This kind of kinky behavior must be stamped out at once," Laborite lawmaker Marcus Lipton said Sat- urday. Lipton's demand for a probe by the post office followed newspaper reports that some engi- neers tan lovers and prominent people's lines. "If these allegations are true," he said, "one can no longer have any confidence in the privacy of tele- phone conversations. The suggestion that inti- mate conversations may have a big audience is quite horrifying." Toothless G'issie Brogdor was left toothless two months ago when a Florida health center pulled out her teeth and then said it didn't have the money to give her new ones. Finallv. last week, Dr. Richard Bach offered to fit the 58 year old woman with new false teeth - free of charge. "If would be a heck of a thing if you went through life without being able to smile," the dentist said. Mrs. Brog- don, who lives in a migrant farm labor camp, says she has been eating boiled peas, pinto beans, and stewed chicken since her teeth were pulled. Spool days The wood spool is doomed for the same fate as the Model T, the player piano, and penny candy- obsolescence. Competition from plastic spool mak- ers is responsible for the demise of the home sewing kit's onetime staple. The American Thread Co., of Stamford, Conn., one of the nation's largest producers of industrial thread, has announced it will close its only wood spool plant next spring and buy plastic spools instead. The reasons for the switch is simple economy. Company officials say plastic spools can be produced at half the cost of the birch ones. .

UPI and Reuter Police in Louisville, Ken- tucky, reinforced by about 800 National Guard troops yesterday herded some 75 arrested protesters aboard the symbol of their fury- yellow school buses - to break up a banned march, in the riot-torn city. The arrests followed a night of escalating violence in which police, armed with M16 rifles and .45 caliber pistols, clashed near three suburban high schools with more than 10,000 rock- throwing, fire-setting dem- onstrators - all venting their anger over the na- tion's largest racial school busing program. IN ANOTHER hotbed of bus- ing violence, 600 Guard troops went on active duty yesterday to backstop a force of more than 1,600 police, FBI agents and federal riot-trained mar- shals in Boston for the begin- ning of the second year of school busing tomorrow. The special military police. task force is stationed 30 min- utes from the city in Wakefield. Orders for the Guard to move into Boston will be issued only by Governor Michael Dukakis. Paratroopers of the 82nd Air- borne Division are also on stand- by at Ft. Bragg, N.C. in case of violence. Kentucky Gov. Julian Carroll, responding to local appeals for help, called out the guardsmen early yesterday from two Louis- ville-area units to help cope with demonstrators rioting ver court-ordered busing of 22,600 students. Police said at least 25 per- sons, mostly juveniles according to police, were arrested last night when a crowd gathered near Southern High School, the scene of a violent clash be- tween police and demonstrators Friday night. National G u a r d s m e n and more than 100 state and local police were on the scene to disperse the group, but there was no estimate available on the size of the crowd. Police said several hundred Ku Klux Klansmen had gather- edon private land in the south- ern part of the county, but no tro'ible was reported. YESTERDAY'S arrests raised the total of persons taken into custody since the busing pro- gram began Thursday morning to more than 300, including 92 in the disorders Friday night and yesterday morning. More than 50 persons, including 15 policemen, were injured. Antibusing demonstrators, in- cluding the state leader of the Kit Klux Klan, were loaded onto two school bltses and driven to See ANTI, Page 2. Quake jars Turkey; thousands are dead, ANKARA, Turkey (Reuter) - More than 1,000 people were killed and 3,000 made homeless by a violent earthquake which flat- tened entire villages in eastern Turkey yesterday, rescue officials said. Officials of the Red Crescent - the equivalent of the western Red Cross - said darkness and the difficulty of .finding bodies under rubble may conceal an even greater death toll. THE HEAVIEST destruction came in the town of Lice, 560 miles east of Ankara where the earthquake ignited a fire storm, they said. About 1,400 people were being treated for injuries, officials told Reuters. Eyewitnesses in Lice reported that many buildings had col- lapsed during the tremor, measuring 6.8 on the open-ended Rich- ter scale. Hundreds of people were homeless. RELIEF PLANES began airlifting food, medical supplies, tents and blankets to the area as rescue workers sought to tend the sick, search for survivors and provide temporary housing. Premier Suleyman Demirel and opposition leader Bulent Ece- vit both plan to visit Lice tomorrow. The semi-official Anatolian News Agency said Mosques, hos- pitals and schools were destroyed. TODAY'S EDITION of the daily newspaper Hurriyet, reported that the quake was felt in a wide area of eastern Turkey stretch- ing from the Black Sea coast to the Iraqi border. The anatolian News Agency said small tremors were still sending periodic shivers through Lice last night, and forecast that the death toll could go as high as 2,000. By ELAINE FLETCHER Weary of physics and fruitflies, Robert Gode- froi took a break from his routine as a zoology major, to attempt a different sort of academic experience - auto mechanics at Washtenaw Com- munity College (WCC). And like other students bent on gaining some practical skills through the University's enrich- ment program with WCC he's found the complex- ities of mufflers and engines "refreshing." THE TWO-YEAR-OLD program allows Univer- sity students to sample WCC's wide variety of courses concentrating in the vocational arts such as typing and carpentry. "When I began taking courses, I knew abso- lutely nothing about cars. But now after five or six courses I was recently able to completely rebuild an MGB," boasts Godefroi. "And I've really enjoyed the courses . . . the teachers are good and you don't even have to call them prof," he adds. HOWEVER, BEING a zoology major as well as a budding auto mechanic can pose some con- flicts. Robert has found that he has yet to pass for their own benefit. "I DON'T HAVE a car now," explains one other auto mechanics enthusaist, "but I don't want to get socked for ten bucks an hour in repairs when I do by some idiot who doesn't know much more than me." But beyond even the private, practical con- siderations that are prompting students to spend several additional hours a week in class and more time in transit, some simply find the change in atmosphere refreshing. "The people out there are different - they're maybe the kind who drove around in souped-up roadrunners in high school. But it's been a wel- come change from the intellectual type of per- son you find up here at the University. It's been great," comments another student. HOWEVER, URBAN studies major and carpen- ter Dave Clifford, also agreed that conflicts can arise. "About a third of the class was students, and another third was older people in the build- ing trades. A split in the class came up between those two groups. But the builders really didn't know that much more than us, though they tho'ght they did." Daily look at Pac R sports writer football.
