A man grabbed her from behind and struck her as she screamed and struggled to get away from him. Her screams attracted the at- tention of residents in an apart- ment building across the street. The attacker fled when the resi- dents of the building yelled at hin from their window. Police speculated that the at- tacks might have been commtit- ted by one man, particularly the attack ujpoo the woman in the parking structure and the as- stilt on S. University. They noted similarities in the manner in which the attacker reacted in both incidents. There hare been no arrests made in any of the three at- tacks, nor has tan rrest been nmade in a rape which occurred Saturday m3Trning behind the Law Quad.

The "Special Search Warrant and Order" demands that Block submit to taping a sample of his voice to be matched against a tape of the threat which was called into police headquarters March 20. Block has refused to comply with the order. POLICE CHIEF Walter Kras- ny and other police officials with backgrounds on the case were unavailable for comment last night. Block is optimistic that El- den's decision to mail out the verdict is a sign that he will not face jail for contempt of count charges. "I think this indicates that they're not eager to put sue in jail," commented Block. HE REASONS that if the judge were going to convict him Elden; would most likely an- nounce his decision in public. Block stated again yesterday that he believes the police have named him as a suspect in an effort to tamper with the union local's elections. Block will vie against incumbent Art Anderson for the post of Bargaining Chair- man in a run-off election on June 8. "The union and the police de- partment are not exactly in a live affair," said Block, "and I think the University is behind the whole thing, pulling the strings. It's bound to have some influence on the election." A crowd of about 20 Block sup- porters showed tip to hear the announcement. Most were local labor sympathizers belonging to the Graduate Employes Orgatmi- zation (GEO) or the Coinittee to Support AFSCME52 iContinuedfroim Page1) hi mijecting Pavulon, a power- Isl muscle relaxant, into the pa- tes intravenious f e e d i na tubes l uring 1975, Narciso and Perez were both intensive care unit nurses on the evening shift when most of the breathing fail- ures occurred, t'he moves yesterday followed eiht and one half weeks of pres- oua, much of it highly tech- rul from physicians, pulmin- .u:. specialists, chemists and txicologists. 'the prosecution, by its own aitmission, had no "smoking gun testimony against Narciso and Perez, and attempted to weave a web of -circumstantial v dence. The government man- ed to place at least one of the deesndants on the scene minutes brlfure each breathing failure. THE PROSECUTION'S expert testimony was supposed to erase any notion that the Pavulon could have been administered hours before the patients stop- ped breathing. This t h e o r y, known as the "time bomb theory," would allege that Pavu- lon could be injected into an IV tube, but not released until much later. In that case any one who had been in the patient's room the day he stopped breathing would be suspect. To blast this possible defense strategy, the prosecution had Dr. Francis Foldes testify on Tuesday. Yesterday, Foldes was cross-examined by defense at- torney Edward Stein. Foldes, an expert on the effects of Pavulon, insisted that there was no way to get the delayed "time bomb" effect with the drug administer- ed intraveniously, Foldes said that Pavulon could either be administered all at once, or slowly by allowing it to drip through the IV tubes. If ad- ministered slowly the patient would still be able to talk, move his arms and legs, and even call out for help before the drug took total effect, IF THE DRUG were given in a large dose rapidly, the patient "would still have some power left in his extreminities" to thrash out. One patient reported- ly talked before he stopped breathing and another patient was able to-bang on his IV pole to get assistance. Defense attorney Stein also pointed out that three of the pa- tients who stopped breathing were asleep. Stein said that the drug could have been dripping in slowly, long before Narciso and Perez entered the room and that the sleeping patients would not ,have noticed the mounting symptoms until it was too late, Foldes insisted that the patients would have awakened when they experienced the first signs of breathing difficulties, The prosecution concluded its presentation with the testimony of Dr. Marcelle Willcock, an anesthesiologist with the New York Medical Examiners Office, WILLCOCK testified that she believes the breathing failures of eight VA patients to be due to "a non-depolarizing muscle relaxant." Pavulon, the trade name for the drug containing the chemical Pancuronium Bro- mide, is such a muscle relax- ant. TODAY Congratulations The South Carolina House has unanimously ap- proved a resolution commending everybody who hasn't been commended yet. The measure won unanimous approval last week in the Senate, and passed the House Tuesday. It says the legislature wants to commend and congratulate "all persons, male and female, young and old, tall and short, fat and skinny, who have performed any act or, deed during the past five months worthy of such commendations. .." The resolution's author, Sen. Thomas Smith (D-Florence), said he introduced it because "I just didn't want anyone left out." Smith, ironically, has been among legislators who have recently criticized the introduction of congratula- tory resolutions as a waste of time. Happenings. ...start today with three all-day events.
