ATTICA, N.Y. (-.A state of emergency was declared at
Atttica state prison yesterday by the prison superintendent
when 800 inmates refused to leave their cells in a two-day
peaceful demonstration.
The protest began Monday morning over the laying off
of a temporary nurse at the prison. Although the nurse
was reinstated, the inmates still refused to leave their cells.
A state of emergency means that visiting privileges are
cancelled and that movement within the prison is restricted.
After issuing the declaration Supt. Ernest Montanye
met with the inmate liason committee-a group of inmates
organized with correction department approval after last
September's Attica prison riot to provide a communications
link between inmates and
p " " prison authorities.

Coming to the University can
be a very frightening experi-
ence. Especially for parents.
Mindful of the traumas which
plague parents as they prepare
their high schooler for college,
the University has set up a two-
day calming session open to all
parents of new students. "Par-
ent orientation"' is full of lec-
tures, tours, and lots and lots of
frank, down - to - earth reassur-
ance.
"I felt a great sense of relief
when the Health Service session
was over. I had read all about
what goes on here in the papers
and they had exaggerated the
whole business," said a Detroit
parent with a sigh.
The program, based in a sor-
ority house on Hill St., allows
the parents little free time if
they attend all planned sessions.
Bus and walking tours of the
campus, meetings with student
orientation leaders, University

counselors, Health Service per-

fice, and meals occupy most of
the parents' time, leaving little
energy for worry.
The parents are bombarded
with information from all sides
during their 48 hour stay. Two
students soberly tell them about
"Life at the University and Ann

advised to provide their child
