Breakthrough A major breakthrough in the field of birth control may be in th offing, according to a Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researcher. An instrument called an Ovutimer has been de- veloped to detect a woman's fertility period. MIT researcher Louis Kopito says that although the device has been tested only on a limited basis. "it's been very successful in aidng women who had trouble conceiving to pregnancy." The instru- ment detects fertility by measuring the fluidity of cervical mucus within a woman's body, and Ko- pito says it is "100 per cent safe." The home ver- sion, which may be available next year, would be tampon-size and disposable. Crime does not pay There's a woman in Canberra, Australia, who will probably never contemplate stealing. The would-be thief snatched a shopping bag from a parked car and then hightailed it to a near- by cafe to examine the goodies inside. But she fainted when she emptied the contents onto a table-a dead cat that had been run over min- utes earlier by a driver who planned to take it home and bury it. Police decided not to press charges against the woman, believing the shock was punishment enough. Talk about letting the cat out of the bag... Whatchamacallit * The Reno Evening Gazette and the Nevada State Journal wanted to find out if their classified column was being read, so they ran two ads, one offering to sell a Gitzensnorker and another seek- ing a Witzonsnikle. Several readers caught on quickly. One man wrote that he would swap his Ecnediser, which he said he got in trade for an early model Witsonsnikle, for a newer one. His Ecnediser, he claimed, has a gas operated ecan- ruf, automatic four smooreb and a high-intensity open ceramic nehctik. You can't beat that deal. O Loud mouth Tampa, Fla. Patrolman David Levins owes his life to a loud-mouthed 3-year-old. Levins found the child, Eric Eckert, sleeping in a car parked out- side a bar late Sunday night. When no one re- turned to the car Levins decided to take the boy into custody. As Eric was placed in the squad car the boy's mother drove up with another per- son and the officer placed her under arrest for child abuse. Levins put the boy and his mother in the back seat of the patrol car for the ride to headquarters. They had gone five blocks when Eric piped up, "My mommy has a gun pointed at you." Levins jumped out of the car, opened the back door and disarmed her. After the incident Levins said "Since his mother had her hands cuffed behind her back, 1 don't think her aim would have been all that good." But Levins is probably glad he didn't have to find out.

By SAM SILLS "They know how they think Inteflex should be run, and don't care what we think." Fourth-year student Dave Cardillo, who voiced this sentiment, is not the only member of the 6-year combined pre-medical and medical pro- gram who feels its administration is insensitive to the ideas and needs of Inteflex students. SHORT FOR integrated, flexible medical pro- gram, Inteflex was founded in 1972 by the facul- ties of the Literary College (LSA) and the Medi- cal School in an effort to produce a more "com- petent, compassionate, and socially conscious" doctor. High School students admitted to the University under this program are assured of a place in the Medical School, thus reducing competitive pressures and broadening medical education by "integrating" liberal arts courses within a "flexible" academic framework.

Street from Mosle fighting escalated around western area the capital and leftists de- T monstrated in southern Hoslem hospit Lebanon against Syrian in- ing five person tervention in the civil war. 25, police re Some students, however,. complain that Inte- flex is neither flexible nor integrated, and is suffering from academic rigidity and a poor com- mitment to the development of social aware- ness. The program's prestigious image, they charge, often takes precedence over student needs. Cardillo calls a new rule compelling Inteflex students to fulfill requirements for either a BA or BS degree a prime example of the program's distorted priorities. He also claims that a reduc- tion in the number of courses offered for a pass/ fail grade was made so that the program could have an overall grade point average to display. DR. DONALD BROWN, Inteflex co-director for LSA, explains that more pass/fail courses are being graded because faculty morale has been un- dermined by .students who let their ungraded course work slip. )Cuments Inteflex student Howie Dorne says student morale is undermined when the faculty demon- strates so little faith in students' ability to act responsibly. "We were accepted into the program partially for our maturity," Dorne says. "If they don't think we can handle responsibility now, how can they expect us to handle it in the future as physicians?" SEVERAL STUDENTS argue that, despite its claims, Inteflex does little to raise the student's social awareness. Questions of the need for more doctors in rural and inner-city areas, the role of preventative versus reactive medicine, and the economics of health care are raised only by chance if at all, the critics claim. Inteflex student Mike Fischman says that courses in patient care, ethics, and group dy- namics can only help a student if he or she has a certain sensitivity to these issues from the start. Statistical evidence seems to suggest that sen- sitivity may indeed be a problem for Inteflex stu- dents. The 1973 admissions report, evaluating Inteflex's second class by a number of standards, rated their "humanitarian service motivation" lower than any other trait. Among the criteria considered in this area are status and economic motivation, and manipulation of others. FISCHMAN ALSO charges that some courses are required arbitrarily, which needlessly re- duces choice. "The program should give us a choice of re- quired non-science courses," he says. "I see no inherent reason why I must take child psychol- ogy over another psychology course." Dorne finds the program's flexibility elusive for another reason.

In Washington, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said the pattern of a political settlement to the year-old, civil war was emerging, although passions re- main high and the situation "could explode tomorrow." A police official called the parliament fire "a premeditat- ed act of sabotage." Firefight- ers braved machine-gun fire and sniper bullets to battle the blaze that lasted more than an hour, he said, adding that many important documents w e r e burned but over-all damage was limited. THE YELLOW - PAINTED building near the city's front lines has been occupied for two months by several Pales- tinian and Lebanese leftist mili- tias. Police said most furniture and files have been looted or burned. An emergency session of par- liament was held in a private villa last weekend to amend the constitution so Christian President Sulieman Franjieh's term could be cut short and a new president chosen. Lebanese Moslems, who now hold the upper hand militarily, have demanded Franjieh's re- moval and more power in the Christian - dominated political and economic system as first steps. AN ESTIMATED 3,000 Pales- tinians guerrillas and Lebanese leftists demonstrated in the Mediterranean ports of Sidon and Tyre, south of Beirut to denounce military intervention by Syria. Daily Photo by PAULINE LUBENS LATE NIGHT WRCN DJ John Stoll spins a few platters during the ever unpopular 'grave- yard' shift. s rave ard' shift By CHARLOTTE HEEG John Sholl, one of WRCN's late night disc jockeys, sums up the type of people who listen to his 1 a.m. to 4 a.m. show' in one suc- cinct word. "Insomniacs." WRCN, the University's student-run AM sta- tion, provides air time for aspiring disc joc- keys and a blend of current top forty hits and golden oldies for the station's listeners, mainly dorm dwellers. The first time slot new DJ's like Sholl are assigned is the early morning "graveyard shift." Most of them can't wait to get out of that slot and into one during the daylight hours, when the listeners are more numerous, and more awake. Not John Sholl. "THIS SLOT is something I enjoy," he says, reflecting on his late Wednesday might show, adding, "I don't want a different slot-- this one gives me a lot of freedom to do pretty much what I want." Sholl, a University junior with an angelic afro of brown curls and an even more an- gelic grin, likes to play seldom-aired music. He also describes himself as "not much at chatter" and the late night slot allows him to keep in-between record commentary to a mini- mum. "There's a lot of emphasis on the vocal DJ in AM radio," Sholl says.

Some, like this youngster, became seated; others, like Joe Mesa, became seats. Picket lines keep out presidential hopefu s WASHINGTON, (Reuter) - A picket line kept three Demo- cratic Presidential contenders, referred to by one of them as the "Big Three," from addressing a convention of newspaper editors here yesterday. But the trin Jimmv C rter TnrvJ acksnn nnd Morris Udall By KEN PARSIGIAN The University Board of Re- gents meets today to discuss a 1976-77 budget which will in- clude a tuition hike, cutbacks in several service areas, and staff salary increases. University President Robben Fleming and Vice-President for Academic Affairs Frank Rhodes will present to the Board a ten- tative plan based on Governor Milliken's recommended state budget. Under the Governor's proposal the University would receive $100,000 less from the state than it received for the 1974-75 fiscal year. FLEMING, who called Mil- liken's budget "unfair," said, "There will have to be cuts in many areas along with a tuition increase just to meet costs." Although the State Senate ap- proved a bill last Thursday that would provide the University with an additional $3 million, both Fleming and Rhodes be- lieve that the Governor's plan will prevail. "Assuming that there are no based on anything other than the Governor's proposal," Rhodes added. BECAUSE today will be the Regents' first look at the pro- posed budget, and since the overall state budget is still in doubt, the Regents will not vote on the matter at this meeting. They may, however, allow Flem- ing to make the matter public. "With the Regents' permis- sion," Fleming said last night, "I will announce the details of o u r recommendations tomor- row." He was quick to add, however, that no decision could be made on the matter until the state issue is decided. "WE WON'T know the final details until we hear from Lans! ing," Fleming said, "and that won't be until the end of June at the earliest." The Regents will also hear a report from the Michigan Stu- dent Assembly (MSA) on their elections, held last week. The major issue is the future of funding for student govern- ment. MSA is currently subsi- dized by a mandatory 75-cent per student assessment. HOWEVER, students voted to abolish this system and to in- See REGENTS, Page 10 Fleming Stricken Hearst resting easily REDWOOD CITY. Calif.
