Mysterious strangers have been making short appearances in several of the Hill dorms. In the past two weeks there have been two streaking in- cidents in Stockwell as well as Peeping Toms get- ting their jollies watching the women in Alice Lloyd, Mosher-Jordan and Stockwell. Security in the dorms has been increased, but officials lack a good description of the intruder. Resident Direc- tor Gloria Jeff reports "It's weird, we know it's a white male, but no one will look at him." Happenings... are hard to find today.

Foreign friends When four British mechanics arrived in North Baltimore, Ohio, the small town's ladies went wild. According to the men, some women factory workers lined up to buy them food and drinks. Some even pursued them to their motel - all because the women were fascinated by the mechanics' English accents. "All that most of the girls wanted was to hear us talk," reported An- thony Tew. "They reckoned our English accents were cute. I tell you," he added, "anyone who goes there with a British accent has got it made." The great escape A Texas man wanted for growing marijuana, in violation of his parole, barricaded himself on an island surrounded by an alligator-filled moat be- fore surrendering to police Friday. Warren Lynch, armed with a shotgun, spent most of Thursday night and Friday morning on the reptile-surround- ed island which he runs as a tourist attraction. Officers waiting for Lynch to come to terms sat on the shore drinking coffee and eating sand- wiches as cold weather moved in. Asked why he didn't rush the island, Sheriff Bob Hewes said, "I think if a man could wade across there with- out splashing he'd Te airight. But if you make any noise, well . .. Illegal meters Angry at getting stuck with a parking ticket, Hayes McClerkin decided to fight the rap, and dis- covered much to the chagrin of Texarkana, Ark. officials there is no law in the books authorizing parking meters. The city says it will take about 30 days to get a new law, costing $3,000 in lost revenue. Voters originally approved the meters in 1942, but when the city ordinances were recodified in 1961, the parking meter law was overlooked. Who says you can't fight city hall? 0 Presidential pensions Presidential hopeful Ronald Reagan is now elig- ible for Social Security payments - but the for- mer California governor says he's not going to accept them. Campaigning on his 65th birthday, Reagan said he's not going to apply for the bene- fits and that he doesn't even know how much he would have coming. It turns out that the movie star-turned politician would be eligible for full So- cial Security - as long as his normal income does not exceed $2,760 a year. The post Reagan's gun- ning for is worth $200,000 annually. O Father, forgive me Three French journalists have been excommuni- cated for making phony confessions of sexual sins to determine whether Catholic confessors really went along with a recent Vatican document con- demning homosexuality, masturbation and extra- marital sex as serious sins. Vatican officials point out that the journalists brought automatic excom- munication on themselves for "committing con- tempt of the sacrament of confession." The excom- munication can be lifted if a genuine confession is made. On the inside .. . Chinu s new pr emier U surprise From Wire Service Reports PEKING - lin a surprise appointment, Hua Kuo-feng, a pro- tege of Communist Party Chairman Mao Tse-tung, has been chos- en acting successor to the late Premier Chou En-lai. Hua's appointment was disclosed last night by the New China News Agency in a routine dispatch from Peking that aston- ished China watchers. IN THE PAST, most acting appointments have become perm- anent, but diplomatic analysts cautioned that Hua may be an in- terim choice for the powerful post. Other officials in Washington said the move reflected deep divisions within the Chinese hierarchy, but that changes in China's foreign policy and its attitude toward the United States were not immediately foreseen. After Chou died of cancer last month, most China watchers predicted that Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-ping would take over as head of the Chinese government. Teng had performed most of the premier's duties since Chou was hospitalized in 1974. HUA, WHO IS in his mid-50's, has not been openly identified with either radicals or moderates in the leadership, unlike Teng. The ninth-ranking vice-premier, he was recognized as one of the fastest-rising politicians in the Communist hierarchy. They linked the surprise development with an extraordinary attack in the People's Daily newspaper yesterday on "capitalist roaders" and rightist deviationists in positions of power SOME SAW this as criticism of Teng-who was branded a capitalist "roader" during the 1960s cultural revolution, so the naming of Hua cauld mean that Teng is in a political dogfight with the radical Chinese left. A more extreme interpretation is that Teng has come to the end of his political rope and is once more a victim of his Coltural Revolution foes. A third possibility is that age and illness have taken their toll and that Teng has decided to bow out of the premiership race voluntarily. Hua received praise during the Cultural Revolution for his ability to organize great masses of people. Later he made a reputation for himself through his deft handling of the Lin Piao incident in 1971. Lin, defense minister and China's heir apparent, died in a plane crash following an abortive coup attempt. Although the role he played is still unclear, Hua is considered one of the few who know all the details of the affair. HE ALSO IS said to be one of China's top agricultural ex- perts, credited with conducting successful water conservation and irrigation projects in 1966 as head of the Shaoshan irrigation dis- trict command in Hunan province. Haa's early background is unknown here. From 1958 to 1967 he served as vice governor of Hunan pro- vince and as alternate secretary of the Communist party's Hunan provincial committee. Carter takes, lead in Oklahoma caucuses O K L A H O M A C I T Y (/P) - Former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter was running slightly ahead of former Okla- homa Sen. Fred Harris in yes- terday's Oklahoma Democratic precinct caucuses with nearly half of the votes in, but uncom- mitted delegates led the field. With 1,248 precincts or about 45 per cent of the state's about 2,800 precincts reporting, 32 per cent of the delegates were un- committed n the race for the Democratic presidential nomi- nation.

Guatemala may face . .a disease, starvatin By AP and Reuter GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala - Foreign disaster experts expressed fear yesterday that starvation and epidemics will en- velop Guatemala in the aftermath of earthquakes that have killed at least 7,375 people by official estimates. Foreign rescue workers say the death toll could reach 14,000. RUINED ROADS, broken bridges, landslides and fuel short- ages blocked delivery of food into devastated areas outside Guate- mala City. Messengers rode mules and bicycles into the capital with tales of whole communities leveled by the upheavals in this Central American country of six million persons. Guatemala's emergency relief committee said that according to reports from burial details, at least 7,375 persons have perish- ed since the first earthquake hit before dawn Wednesday. HEALTH EXPERTS expressed fear that epidemics could cause more deaths because many dead were being buried in shallow graves, people were drinking untreated water and no sanitary facilities exist for thousands living in makeshift shelters in city streets. See EXPERTS, Page 2 Birch Bayh, and former vice presidential nominee Sargent Shriver received scattered sup- port. About half of the precincts tabulated were from Oklahoma and Tulsa counties. The rural vote was slow coming in, and both Wallace and Bentsen were counting on good showings in rural areas to strengthen their positions. The caucuses are the first step toward selecting Oklaho- ma's 37 delegates to the na- tional convention. Participants in the precinct meetings choose representatives to the Feb. 28 county conventions where dele- gate to the six congressional district conventions will be se- lected. AT THE congressional district conventions, 28 national dele- gates will be chosen and nine others will be picked at the state convention in April. Democratic party officials had predicted a record turnout and almost every precinct re- ported standing room only crowds. In a normal presidential year, about 30,000 Democrats attend their precinctrcaucuses, but the total appeared certain to exceed 50,000 this year be- cause of intensive compaigning by Carter, Wallace, Bentsen and Harris. Harris, who now makes his home in Washington, made his strongest showing in the metro- politan areas of Tulsa and Oklahoma City. He led the field in Oklahoma City but trailed the uncommitted bloc in Tulsa See CARTER, Page 2 MICHIGAN'S SPEEDY RICKEY GREEN chases after a loose ball with cious in yesterday's overtime game. Green led the Wolverines with 23 enough as Michigan lost to the undefeated Hoos ers, 72-67. AP Photo Indiana's Rich Valavi- points but it wasn't e0 icigan Hoosiers. By RICH LERNER special To The Daily BLOOMINGTON-After Indiana's Kent Benson tipped in a missed shot at the buzzer to send the game into overtime, the number - one ranked Hoosiers scored the last eight points in the extra period to beat Michigan 72-67 yesterday. With Michigan ahead 60-58 and 14 seconds re- maining, the Wolverines' Steve Grote missed a free throw and All-American Scott May controlled the rebound for Indiana. INDIANA CALLED time out to set up a final play with ten seconds remaining. With five sec- onds left, Quinn Buckner launched a high arching shot from 18 feet out that bounced high off the rim. The ball headed out of bounds and Hoosier Jim Crews grabbed it, and tossed up an off- balance shot towards the basket, which the 6-10 Benson tipped in as regulation time ran out. "Crews got the ball and threw it up to keep it alive," said Indiana coach Bobby Knight. "He made a very intelligent play." According to NCAA rules, there is a difference between a tip and a shot. A tip must be in the basket when the buzzer sounds for it to be count- ed, while a shot need only be in the air when falls to 7tie7267 time runs out. The referees ruled that Benson had control of the tip and thus, technically, it was considered a shot. "THAT TIP WAS a judgment thing," said Michigan coach Johnny Orr. "At Illinois, the reeferee said there was no control of the tip. We lost the game. Today they went and tipped it in, and the ref said he had control of the tip. At Illinois they said he had to catch it, then shoot it. And the situation in the Illinois game looked identical to me." The television replay indicated that Michigan's Phil Hubbard had a hand on the final tip. Michigan scored the first four points of the five-minute overtime to take a 64-60 lead, on two free throws by John Robinson and a basket by Grote. Grote was called for charging on the play, his fifth foul, and May's foul shots brought Indiana back to within two, 64-62. INDIANA REGAINED possession after Robin- son missed from underneath. Phil Hubbard then picked up his fifth foul, sending Indiana's Wayne Radford to the line to shoot one-and-one. Radford collected on both ends to tie the game 64-64, with 3:18 left.

From AP and Staff Reports WASHINGTON - Guidelines to help control potentially lethal genetic research have been drawn up by a panel of scien- tists for the National Institutes of Health, an NTH official said yesterday. The University, one of many institutions which intendsato carry out the research, will fol- low the NIH guidelines if a Uni- committee, said the proposed regulations on so-called genetic engineering would be examined during public hearings this week at the institutes' sprawl- ing complex in suburban Be- thesda, Md.
