By DAN BIDDLE District Court Judge San- dorf Elden has dismissed charges against one of four persons arrested in the May 19 Diag war protest crater dig and the dismissal of the charges against the other three is expected soon. The dismissal of charges against Jonathon Goldman '73 of "willful and malicious de- struction of property" was prompted by an apparent error by the prosecution, which failed to file an amendment to the charge before a deadline set by the court. Awaiting dismissal on the same charges are Rainbow People's Par' y member Genie Plamondon, Richard England, Grad, and Jay Hack, a former Student Government Council administrative vice president. They face a possible 90 day sentence or a $100 fine if con- victed. The charge stems from an all- day war protest held on May 19 to commemorate the birthdays of Ho Chi Minh and Malcolm X. In the first of several digs, protesters completed four sym- bolic bomb craters on the Diag, only to see them filled in by the University days later. While refusing to state what his action would be on the other three persons, Elden said full dismissal was "a probability." Defensecoordinator Thomas Bentley and defense lawyer David Goldstein reacted jubi- lantly to the dismissal, calling it "an easy victory for the people." "What this shows," said Gold- stein yesterday, "is that our case was just a whole lot more together than their case was. There is the greatest probability that all four people will be let of f now." Prosecution spokesman Thomas Shea refused to com- ment on the dismissal or any aspect of the case. The original "Crater Four" trial had been set for July 20, but on that date Elden granted See DEFENDANTS, Page 8 En route to funeral President Nixon waves as he climbs aboard a helicopter at the New Orleans Naval Air Station for the trip to Houma, La., for funeral services for Louisiana Sen.

George Wallace told jurors yesterday that expert defense witnesses would paint "a picture of a boy who was weird from the day he came on this earth." Bremer has pleaded innocent by reason of insanity to the 17 charges in connection with the shooting which partially para- lyzed Wallace and injured three others durng a May 15 campaign rally at Laurel, Md. Two witnesses to the at- tempted assassination identifed Arthur Herman Bremer as the man who fired the shots that partially paralyzed the Alabama governor and wounded three other persons. Three other wit- nesses to the shooting failed to identify Bremer. After three of the first prose- cution witnesses could not iden- tify Bremer, Mabel Speigle walked among the trial specta- tors where the defendant had been placed for the identifica- tion process, reached out and touched him. Quaalude addiction... By MARILYN RILEY Second of a two art series "I wouldn't be surprised if a couple people died by the end of the year unless more infor- mation gets out about the dangers of Quaalude or more beds are made available for treatment," claims Dr. Richard Kunnes of the Washtenaw County Community Mental Health Center. Quaalude, the most recent drug fad in the Ann Arbor area, has already become a medical problem, according to Kunnes. Doctors at University Hospital have reported success in treating cases of Quaalude addiction. There has been some controversy, however, in trying to decide whether Quaalude addiction is primarily a medical or a psychiatric problem. Dr. Philip Margolis, of University Hospital, says the problem is that "there has been no wish on the part of the patient to explore how he got on Quaalude in the first place." Discussion at the hospital has centered on whether or not patients who are only interested in detoxification should be brought into the psychiatric section for treatment. According to Dr. Allwyn Levine, of University body's istening Hospital, the patient must be willing to explore the problems underlying his addiction in order to be trained in the psychiatric section, since "getting hooked on anything is a symptom of something else." Margolis admits, however, that there may be some Quaalude addicts who won't come to the hospital to seek help because they aren't will- ing to go through any psychiatric treatment. In order to prevent the deaths of people try- ing to withdraw on their own, Kunnes thinks the hospital should make more beds available for those interested only in detoxification. A large part of the difficulty of trying to solve the Quaalude addiction problem seems to lie in the lack of reliable information concerning the drug. Although Levine reports one drug company was "extremely helpful" in sending out re- quested information, some doctors have found it difficult to obtain information on Quaalude overdose and its addiction potential. Dr. Landis Crockett, a public health resi- dent at University Hospital, called information See QUAALUDE, Page 8
