Poae 14-Saturday. May 26, 1979-The Michigan Daily MMUMNSWOMWAI V. Health Service Hand By GAIL RYAN Topics: 1. Amyl Nitrate 2. Eligibility for service of spouses and kids * * * -Gay men often use "poppers" (amyl nitrate) during sex. Are these devices safe? Amy nitrite is a drug in a vapor form that is prescribed for persons with angina chest pains associated with coronary artery disease. It relieves the pains by relaxing smooth muscles. It is also used by some persons, both hetero- and homosexuals, to achieve an extra "flush" during orgasm. This flush is a sensation of warmth from the opening up of blood vessels. Also, blood pressure is lowered. Possible side effects of amyl nitrite are headache, nausea, dizziness, fain- ting, rapid heart rate, nervousness, paleness, and a cold sweat. More severe reactions can occur, especially with larger doses, or in combination with other drugs or alcohol. Also, tolerance can develop with continual use of the drug, so that larger amounts taken more frequently are necessary to get the same effect. Because possible long term effects of the drug have not been fully deter- mined, the use of the drug should be both limited and cautious, with careful consideration of both the benefits and the costs. * * * QUESTION: I am a graduate stu- dent in Psychology, I just learned that my husband and my daughter are eligible to use Health Service. I've been telling my friends about this, but I think you should advertise more so that others can learn about your eligibility requirements. ANSWER: Spouses of students, and their dependent children over the age of 14, are eligible to use the Health Ser- vice. A fee which is relatively inexpen- sive compared with the going costs of medical care in the Ann Arbor area is assessed for each visit in the Medical Clinic. Non-enrolled students who were enrolled within the past calendar year are charged similar fees, while enrolled students are not assessed visit charges.. All patients in the clinics other than the Medical Clinic, such as Dermatology, Allergy, and Physical Therapy, are charged per-visit fees which are, again, relatively inexpensive. !ook The Health Service conducts an Orientation Program for incoming freshpersons and Rackham students. During this orientation we describe the services available and who is eligible for them. We realize that many studen- ts are unable to attend these orien- tations, and have begun advertising in the Daily (Watch for our ads!). Also, we are pleased when people like your- self pass the word along to others. * * * Please send all health-related ques- tions to: The Health Educator, U-M Health Service Division of Office of Student Services 207 Fletcher Ave. Ann Arbor, MI 48109 Republicans victorious in budget battle (Continued from Page 1) the city will lose more than $500,000 in which has increased over a number of rents, but would pass on the rate hike on taxes), we'll make it on the pr tax revenues next year - $425,000 in years. utilities bills. millage and not on the debt property tax revenues, and $81,000 in She predicted eventual cuts in city "I don't know whether we've got the millage." state matching funds. services if the city did not levy the half- U of M accounting school here or the Councilman Edward Hood (R- THE CITY will replace the lost reve- milunder consideration.

But Mayor Louis' Belcher said the city's remaining surplus funds would be enough for future capital expenditures. "I THINK you (Democrats) are just trying to make a lot of political fodder out of this," he said. "We can come up with enough (for future capital expen- ses) - Ann Arbor is a fat city." Council found out Wednesday night if it cut property taxes from seven-and- one-half mils to seven mils, it could not restore the millage again without get- ting voter approval because of restric- tions imposed by the Hesdlee Amen- dment. However, Murray said council could cut the half-mill from the taxes it collec- ts to pay the city's debt service, and then it could raise the millage again without the approval of the voters. BELCHER OPPOSED the move for reduction in the debt service tax and supported the property tax cut.

"As long as you have administrators who are willing to say, 'Look, this is the guy I really need,' then you are going to lose people from the lower levels," Morris said. City Administrator Murray spoke for the middle management positions, saying that he wanted to have at least two non-union positions in every depar- tment. HE ALSO HOTLY defended himself and other department heads against Morris' implications that they might be standing up for their assistant managers because they were friends. All of Morris' proposals to eliminate middle-management positions even- tually were defeated.
