Ras- lich, 75, died at University Hospital from the poi- son in galerina mushrooms, which resemble edible young puff ball mushrooms. 'The late Raslich's son and another man are still hospitalized and listed in fair condition for eating the wild fungi. All three of the neo-Euell Gibbonses were treated with a new drug, thiotic acid, which was flown here from a San Francisco Hospital in hopes of counteracting the mushrooms' poison. Fowl play A customer at the Chicken Little restaurant in Ypsilanti decided his meal wasn't to his liking last night and gave the manager a licking-instead of his fingers. After the attack the victim drove to the Sheriff's Department in Ypsilanti and told this tale: A customer entered the restaurant with friends, ordered a meal, and then began to com- plain about its quality. Becoming incensed, he then followed the manager to the back of the establishment where he struck him, knocked him down, and kicked him until other customers came to the rescue. The man then ran out the door and is being sought by police. Fleming's vantage point University President Robben Fleming has start- ed a one-man "courtesy in the consumption of combustibles" drive. In a recent memo to the faculty, Fleming let it be known that he would like smoking in the classrooms to stop. "Whether or not faculty members or individual students wish to smoke," he wrote, "is, of course, a mat- ter of personal decision," "But it is not fair to inflict one's personal decision in this area on others." The President added that it would seem to him unreasonable to believe that tobacco smok- ers "cannot survive a classroom hour without smoking." Perhaps as an alternative to Flem- ing's suggestion the time schedule could rate classes on levels of tar and nicotine. Snap, crackle and flop CRISP is up to its old tricks again. The drop- and-add line at the old Architecture Building was delayed for approximately an hour and a half yesterday morning, as annoyed students stood on the stairway leading up to the room that houses the CRISP computer terminals. Program co-ordi- nator John Lehman explained the delay: "Some- body at Data Systems was debugging a new pro- gram and apparently it went into an endless loop and brought the system down." Asked if he an- ticipates any more delays before the end of drop- and-add, Lehman commented, "I hope not, be- cause it's not the fault of CRISP." Whatever the reason, it appears that the University's brainchild has fallen out of favor with those who have been forced to deal with it.

(P) - Sandra Good, a disciple of mass murderer Charles Manson, said yesterday that an "International People's Court of Retribution" has marked for assassination scores of business executives whose firms dam- age the environment. Good, 30, is the roommate of Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, another Manson follower, who was in- dicted by a federal grand jury here Wednesday for the attempted assassination of President Ford. IN AN INTERVIEW in her apartment, Good revealed a list of about 75 names of persons she said were marked for death. She identified them as executives primarily in the power, lumber, oil, food and chemical in- dustries. The list did not include the names of six Loui- siana, Texas and Georgia businessmen that Good See ASSASSINATION, Page 2 House court Defends trees during hearing SACRAMENTO, Calif. (P)-Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, at her arraignment for attempted mur- der of President Ford, was ousted from federal court yesterday when she demanded justice for redwood trees and told the judge: "The gun is pointed, your honor." The red-robed Fromme,. 26, a disciple of mass murderer Charles Manson, demanded to speak despite the judge's warning that she might preju- dice her chance for a fair trial. "THIS is more important to me at this time," Fromme declared in a clear, calm voice over a courtroom microphone. "I'm the one that has to sit in the cell and worry about it." After a second warning from U.S. District Court Judge Thomas MacBride, she launched her rambling dissertation on redwood trees.

The speedy House ap- proval came by voice vote. The measure now goes to the Senate. HOUSE Democratic energy leaders said they do not expect the President to object to a 60- day extension in place of the 45-day extension to which he had given conditional approval.

The local (UAW 2001), which last month ratified its first con- tract with the University, is cur- rently in the process of estab- lishing a set of by-laws and electing a body of officials. Several clericals who are for- mer bargaining team members, acting on what they claim is UAW tradition, have appointed themselves to draft the by-laws, without consent or authorization from the local clerical member- ship. Another group, calling itself Clericals for a Democratic Union (CDU), is challenging that ac- tion. CDU spokeswoman Sue Hanson said, 'The only differ- ence between the authority of the ex-bargaining team and any- one else is that (since the con- tract negotiations) they hold the keys to the office." "WE WANT to build an effec- :ve local and we want to do that by calling for the election of a by-laws committee," she added. "We're calling fo rthis election and we hope they (the ex-bargaining team) would lis- ten to the membership." Former bargainer Jane Gould sided with the CDU against her former team members. "These laws are going to govern the lo- cal for years to come," she said. "Ex-bargaining team members have no authority to write the by-laws. And if the local does not have a hand in writing them we are not going to have a democratic local." THE BY-LAWS are critical in controlling the power and poc- ketbooks of soon-to-be-elected local officials. They also con- tain clauses regulating com- munication channels between membership and officials. In protesting the ex-bargain- ing units efforts to draft bylaws a l o n g the UAW guidelines, Weeks explained, "We're trying to per kthe rug out from under the people who want to use the local jobs as steppingstones-up and out of their clerical posi- tions." Local union official positions, Weeks said, are often considered a training ground for promotion higher up into the U In addition, UAW b lines recommend tha idents salary be dou the average clerica "Salaries paid to union officials isn women are working off for," she added. tant for the leader use or abuse thatl money."

(RP) - Presi- dent Ford, on his first political outing since last week's assas- sination attempt, appeared to be wearing a protective vest yes- terday while campaigning in New Hampshire. The President was greeted by friendly crowds as he sought to boost Republican Louis Wy- man's chances in next Tues- day's special Senate election. SECRET Service agents and White House officials refused to confirm or deny that Ford was wearing a protective vest. But the outlines of some sort of ad- ditional garment were visible through the back of his jacket, and his shirt-front appeared tightly drawn. The day-long m o t o r c a d e showed that the President had lost none of his zest for shaking hands and reaching out to the thousands who greeted him at more than a dozen stops in towns and highway crossings. Republicans hoped the Presi- dent's visit would boost the turn- out next Tuesday and overcome the extensive organizational ef- fort by the Democratic candi- date, John Durkin.

I U, 'frosh buck low t i T By JIM FINKELSTEIN Despite a sharp nationwide decline in SAT scores last year, results for incom- ing University freshpeople dropped only slightly. According to the College Entrance Ex- amination Board (CEEB), the verbal and mathematical aptitude scores of college-bound high school graduates plummeted this year by the biggest mar- gin in at least two decades. COMMENTING ON the mild drop in the scores of University applicants, As- sistant Admissions Director Donald Swain said yesterday: "I don't really care whether the SAT's have declined nr not Sliaht variations don't mean a 434 this year. The average mathematical scores slipped from 480 in 1974 to 472 this year. BUT, Benno Fricke, director of the Evaluations and Examinations Office at the University, is quick to point out that there are many problems in comparing present scores with those of previous years. "In 1941-42," he commented, "the stu- dents that were tested were mainly ap- plicants for private colleges, such as Harvard, Princeton and Yale. But today, most schools require applicants to take the test. So the students applying to Har- vard and those applying to Georgia State :.. .. 1 ..
