" Fightin' words A young Melbourne, Australia, couple likes a good argument so the pair started a free "Dial an Argument" service for the public. During the first day of their service last week, they received over 100 calls before taking their telephone off the hook. The two tried to provide an alternative viewpoint on any subject from politics to cricket. "We started it as an outlet for frustrated people who may be finding it hard to give expression to their problems while living their community roles," they explained. " That's religion biz The Pallottine .Fathers, a Roman Catholic mis- sionary order, supposedly throws away letters asking for masses to be said if they don't contain at least a $10 donation, according to the Baltimore Sun. The paper said that although the order's solicitation letters promise the priests will "pray for you," workers are routinely instructed to simply remove the donations and throw out the letters unless the contribution is sizeable. According to published reports, the Pallottines raised at least $8 million in 1974 but distributed less than $500,000 to their overseas missions. Sounds like somebody is having a good time. Ticket' refund If you received a speeding ticket driving through Bloomington, Illinois, during the past 16 years, you maybe able to get your money back now that the city's traffic ordinance has been declared uncon- stitutional. No one knows how many tickets have been doled out since the ordinance went into effect in 1959, but police caught 7,000 speeders last year alone. It seems the ordinance set a speed limit of 30 miles per hour but did not specifically forbid motorists from exceeding that limit. Of course, trying to get the money back probably would not be worth the effort because the average fine was only $30. 0 Pot shot The much ballyhooed Southern Illinois University experiment testing how marijuana influences male sexual responses may not get off the ground. The test, during which regular pot users will toke up and watch pornographic movies while their sexual reactions are measured, must be okayed by the Justice Department because a controlled substance will be used. Since the experiment has come under attack from Sen. William Proxmire (D-Wis.) among many others, th Justice Department seems less willing to extend immunity to the participants. By the way, the cost of the two-year project is about $120,000. Must be buying good stuff. 9 On the inside The Editorial Page highlights a Pacific News Service story on mercenaries fighting in Angola . . Arts Page reviews Claude Bolling's African By AP and Reuter ADDIS ABAB9, - A special Organization of African Unity (OAU) summit on Angola ended in failure yesterday with the civil war still rag- ing and black African countries deeply divided over the issue. Wider American and Soviet involvement in war-torn Angola was predicted by African diplo- mats yesterday following failure of the OAU to agree on a peace plan for the divided country. THE WHITE HOUSE reacted to the OAU stale- mate with an announcement that President Ford will ask Congress when it returns from vacation next week to lift a ban on U.S. assistance to An- gola. African leaders or their representatives spent four days wrestling with the problem but when they ended their deliberatings shortly before 6 a.m. local time yesterday they were unable even summit ends in Ford to request aid to Angola to draw up a final resolution. Instead a terse final statement said it had been decided to adjourn the summit. Kenyan Vice- President Arap Moi said afterwards "we failed the people of Angola." TWENTY-TWO member states wanted recog- nition of the Soviet backed Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA). An equal number sought a ceasefire, a government of na- tional unity and an end to all foreign interven- tion in the embattled former Portuguese colony. Uganda and Ethiopia remained uncommitted. The State Department's leading African ex- pert, William Schaufele, said the United States was not happy over the OAU's failure to reach the "only satisfaction is that some of the Afri- cans . . . who share our views were able to block" any efforts to express support for the MPLA. In Moscow, the official news agency Tass im- plied that last-minute "pressure from the United States and other imperialist forces" helped de- feat an OAU summit resolution that would have given recognition to the MPLA. DEEP DIVISIONS at the summit blocked re- cognition of the MPLA as Angola's sole legiti- mate government. Two allied groups aided by the United States and South Africa, the National Front - FNLA - and the National Union - UNITA - also failed to get the OAU to renew agreement on what to do about Angola. He said its commitment to a three-sided coalition in the former Portuguese colony. OAU chairman President Idi Amin of Uganda, exhausted from 12 hours of debate that ended at dawn, said he and eight OAU vice chairmen would take unspecified peace moves and report to the next summit in Mauritius in June. Most observers pictured the conference as a humiliation for Africa - the first time in 12 years that the OAU has been unable to find a compromise on an important continental issue. LOPO DO NASCIMENTO, prime minister of the MPLA, told reporters before the emergency summit collapsed that the movement would con- tinue to fight, regardless of OAU action. Holden Roberto of the National Front and Jonas Savim- bi of the United Front had said last week they would fight as long as necessary. Officials deny VA Newspaper report termed 'speculative' By PAULINE LUBENS A report that the U.S. Attorney's Office in Detroit is preparing to indict two nurses for the bizarre series of patient deaths at the local Veterans Administration (VA) Hospital was flatly denied yesterday by investigation officials. "No indictments are contemplated," said U.S. Attor- ney Ralph Guy. He would say only that the five month long investigation is continuing. GUY REFUSED to say whether officials had accumulated enough evidence in their probe to issue any indictments. A copyrighted story in yesterday's Ann Arbor News said that officials will ask for indictments of Leonora Perez, 31, who has AP Photo Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland Rushed employes make their way along Jefferson Ave. in downtown Detroit yesterday.

ST UDENTS EXPECT HARSHER MEASURES: Penalties for cheati ng Surprise moved to Chicago, and Filipina the next two, weeks. Richard Delonis, chief of the criminal division of the Attor- ney's Office, yesterday termed 'the story, "purely speculative." "THE ONLY thing we can say is that the grand jury investi- gation is still in progress and we are expecting further testi- mony this week," Delonis added. Other sources close to the investigation also cast doubt on the possibility of any prepa'ra- tion of the two indictments. Thomas O'Brien, the attorney representing Narciso and Perez, said he had not been informed of any impending indictment re- quests. "THAT (THE News story) was the first time, either for- mally or informally, that we had heard of anything." Both women mentioned in the story are registered nurses who were on duty in the VA Hos- pital's Intensive, C a r e. Unit (ICU) lastesummer when, dur- ing a two month period, over 50 patient respiratory attacks oc- curred, resulting in 11 deaths. After checking urine and bile samples, FBI and hospital offi- cials concluded that Pavulon, a powerful neuro-muscular relax- ant normally used during sur- gery, had been intentionally ad- ministered by someone to the unsuspecting patients. ACCORDING to O'Brien, neither he nor his clients have been informed of the alleged in- See REPORTS, Pagge 7 Narciso, 29, of Ypsilanti within Taamine war' in Beirut continues BEIRUT, Lebanon (W)-Mos- lem forces escalated a "famine war" yesterday, blockading Christian villages in an attempt to force Christian gunmen to lift a week-long siege of Pales- tinian refugee camps in Beirut. At the same time, firemen brought under control 'a huge fire that had raged in three warehouses in Beirut's port, and fighting swirled downtown and elsewhere in the country, eav- ing 53 persons killed and 107 wounded, with many more un- counted in battle areas. THE CASUALTY toll in Lab- anon's civil war stood at more than 8,000 dead and about 25,000 wounded since last April, and the Egyptian government in Cairo asked therArab League's secretary - general, Mahmoud Riad, to take urgent steps to end the fighting. A Moslem spokesman said his side would lift its blockade in See MOSLEMS, Page 10 By MARGARET YAO The punishment administered to those students caught cheating on exams has long been a mystery to University students. And Monday's literary college (LSA) ju- diciary committee report, which outlined relatively light penalties for that offense, surprised students and professors who had imagined harsher measures, an informal Daily survey revealed yesterday. OVER HALF of the 25 LSA undergradu- ates polled last night thought that expul- sion from the school was the likely punish- ment for students caught cheating. Accord- ing to student committee member, Rick Lowrence, however, the committee has never expelled anyone. The committee, composed of three stu- dents and three faculty members, hears cases of alleged student dishonesty and determines the appropriate penalty when necessary. A summary report of the committee rul- ings touched off a heated reaction Monday among many faculty members who termed the rulings "too lenient." THE SUMMARY listed cases of forgery' cheating on examinations, plagarism and fabrication. The penalties for exam cheat- ers included: -a letter of reprimand; -no credit for that part of the exam in question; and -a four-month suspension. Lowrance, in response to faculty criti- cism, said, "People can't look at that (summary) and simply make a judgement on it. There are more factors involved." English Prof. Walter Clark agreed with Lowrance, but insisted that there was a See CHEATING, Page 10 Ford names Morton to Cabinet as White House Counsellor By AP and Reuter WASHINGTON - President Ford yesterday named former Commerce Secretary Rogers Morton as a cabinet-rank White House counsellor and put him in charge of political liaison with the Republican party and the Ford campaign committee. Presidential Press Secretary Ron Nessen told reporters that Morton's "liaison activities will be incidental to his other duties." MORTON, a long-time friend of the President and highly re- garded as a political operator among Republicans, will be respon- sible for advising the President on domestic and economic policy matters, at a $44,600 a year salary. These two policy areas would be Morton's "substantive du- ties" Nessen said. L .. ....:,o w ". :at . ... ; :. ;,°i'?
