Daily 'e
By DAN BIDDLE
Student Government Counci ran into
f'rther trouble as the winter term ended
when two students, one of them an SGC
member, flo r g e d and distributed illici
facsimiles of a Daily "editorial" endorsing
the candidacy of SGC. presidential hopeful
Ro Nagey.
The Daily learned on April 24 that SG'
member Bill Dobbs, a longtime Council
reform advocate, and literary college stu-
dent government activist Bob Black print-
ed and distributed the unsigned leaflet
apparently without the knowlenge or per-
mission of Na ey's campaign.
THE FORGERY incident came amidst
the April 23--28 "re-run" SGC election,
held to supercede the invalidated March
all-campus voting.
COPIES OF the forged leaflet, which
bore marked resemblance to an actual

Unhealthy bird droppings
from roofs of Law School
By JUDITH RUSKIN
It was like a scene from a bad science
fiction movie: men in yellow helmets and
gas masks climbing in and out of windows
onto the roof of the Law School.
But instead of fighting strange beings
from another p 1 a n e t, these men were
cleaning the law school of pigeon drop-
pings.
According to William Pierce, associate
dean of the law school the strange task
was initiated because "perhaps one or
more members of the Law School com-
munity has encountered health difficul-
ties because of the presence of pigeons
and their aftermath" on the Law School
buildings.
The workmen, a crew from the plant
department's roofing division, were clean-
ing the roof and spraying the area with
a disinfectant, Roman cleanser, which is
a form of laundry detergent not harm-
ful to human beings.
The masks were used to preoe it t h e
men from inhaling contaminsted d ust
arising from the droppings.
All faculty and staff were advised to
keep their windows shut and their a i r
conditioners off to prevent the dust from
entering the building. One Law School

employe complained, saying thal0 wth his
window closed he could not get out onto
the roof to take walks.
't'he symptoms of the alleged pigeon
disease were described by ietce as
"similtr to a prolonged cold or a mild
case of the flu. In all probability, symp-
toms will be recognized because they tend
to last for a two or three week period'
Once the roof has been cleaned, it 'ill
be sprayed with Avitrol, a chem cat used
to keep pigeons from returnin to the
same roost. The chemical affects the nerv-
ous system of the birds, makiuy I tI e m
frighten other birds away.
