Sabotage of nuclear plant suspected by FBI officials RICHMOND (AP) - The FBI is in- vestigating what could be the first case of attempted sabotage of a U.S. nuclear power plant, an official of Virginia Electric & Power Co. said yesterday. C. M. Stallings, Vepco vice president, said company ,inspectors discovered Monday that a caustic white crystalline substance had been dumped into 62 of 64 new, nonradioactive fuel elements stored for use this summer at its Surry power station, 55 miles southeast of here. Stallings said preliminary indications are that the fuel elements were damaged very little, if any, and cleanup operations may take no more than two weeks.

Pharmacists are no longer the people who stand on one side of a counter com- pounding and dispensing medication, but are becoming more involved with patients, giving them private coun- selling and more closely monitoring their drug therapy to help them better understand how to take medication, say leads in the field. THE COLLEGE of Pharmacy Alum- ni Society and the University College of Pharmacy, helped by a grant from Lederle Laboratories of Pearl River, New York, sponsored a workshop for pharmacists last Sunday to help them learn the skills required for their new and expanding roles. The day-long "Communications and Patient Education" symposium included lec- tures on patient education, liability in patient counselling, the physician's response to the pharmacist's role as a patient educator, and interpersonal communication. Following the lec- tures, assistant professor of Pharmacy, Carole Kimberlin of the University of Nebraska conducted a workshop on developing communication skills for pharmacists. Kimberlin said that pharmacists need to be more directly involved in patient care. The Millis Commission, which has looked at pharmacy as a profession and published a study on the status of pharmacy practice, has repor- ted that pharmacists need to be more directly involved in patient skills, said Kimberlin.

Happen Bi s.tfns Dig brother Jane Fonda didn't get the $1 million she asked for in her lawsuit against the Federal Bureau of In- vestigation (FBI), but the bureau did admit that it violated agency guidelines by keeping Fonda under surveillance for her anti-Vietnam War activities. The FBI, in the court-approved settlement, agreed to leave Fonda alone in the future. Meanwhile in Ann Arbor, a self-described radical University student who was interviewed by the FBI four years ago after witnessing a local bank robbery, discovered that one of the bureau's local agents must have a memory almost as good as an elephant's. Recently, the student, who has grown a beard and changed glasses since the interview, was greeted on the street by a man whom he didn't recognize. The man turned out to be the FBI agent who interviewed him in connection with the rob- bery. Either the agent has an incredible memory, or the FBI simply has kept up with the political ac- tivities of the Ann Arbor student. We hope the agent has been eating peanuts. Prostitutes for ERA A Florida "loose women's organization" has asked prostitutes in that state to identify their clien- ts who are legislators and who have voted against the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA): Coyote of Florida, Inc., which calls its request a "kiss and tell campaign," says it hopes to convince legislators who have intimate connections with prostitutes to support the ERA or to risk public identification. "The ERA effects all women, not just the 'good' women," says Coyote spokeswoman Darlene Lashman of Fort Lauderdale. "It's common knowledge that prostitutes are used in vote getting, for business contracts, you name it," added Lash- man. ... the Commission for Women will meet in 2549 LSA Building at noon ... the Wolverine baseball team takes on Eastern Michigan University at 2 p.m. at Fisher Stadium... at 4 p.m., the Children's Community Center will hold a discussion on the alternative elementary school in Room 3-C at the Michigan League . ..
