Saturday, May 7, 1977 N.H. Guard contends no pregnant women held CNCOtl, N.H. (Ai - Health officials and the National Guard issued conflicting statements yesterday on reports that 50 pregnant women were among hundreds of jailed anti-nuclear power demonstrators in danger of exposure to German measles. Police arrested 1,414 demon- strators on trespass charges af- ter a 24-hour sit-in at the Sea- brook nuclear plant site last weekend. Some protesters post- ed cash bail and were released, but more than 1,300 demanded personal recognizance hail and chose confinement when that demand was refused. THEY ARE being held in four National Guard armories. Yesterdav, State Health and Welfore Commissioner Robert Wh.te said 50 demonstrators at the Manchester armory are nreannot and should be released becansn annther demonstrator thre has German measles, wit-h on severely damage the fetns if contracted by a preg- nant woman. "Approxim-telv 50 pregnant women have been identified in Manchester," Whalen said, quot- ing from a 'debriefing report" snoonlied hv the National Guard. But Mit. Fred Rlnse, snoktes- man for the National Guard, sold later that none of the Man- chester armory prisoners was pregnant. And he said there had been no confirmed diagnosis of German measles. "WE JUST received word from our medical people in Man- chester that there were no preg- nancies and one of the detainee nna s-bhmitted to a precau- tionary prerunancv test and the test was nenative" he said. After Klsse issued his state- ment. Whiten said the initial re- tirt of German measles and pregnancies came from a regis- tered nurse among the demon- strators. He said the report was accurate and that any pregnant demonstrator should be imme- diately released on personal recognizance. Meanwhile, the state Supreme Court rejected a petition Friday asking that all confined pro- testers be released on personal recognizance. A lower court ,re- fused the request earlier in the week. THE MICHIGAN DAILY Fags -1hree THE MICHIGAN DiMLY Page Three A SURE sign of summer in Ann Arbor is magnolias. That, after all, is what "Arbor" is all about, and the character of the city changes in the summertime in a way only summer residents ap preciate. What are we all doing here? By SUE WARNER Although the majority of the University's 30,000 students have packed up their pop- corn poppers and 'Farrah' posters and evacuated the campus, a small percentage of the student population will be spending the summer in Ann Arbor for a wide vari- ety of reasons. "This is a pretty good place to be in the sumner," stated Carl Brodie as he soaked up yesterday's s'in on the Diag, organic chemistry book close at hand. - "tF I WAS somewhere else I'd be workiing," ie explained. "This may sound crazy, but I love paying to work and not being paid to work." Barb Weston is staying so she can take calculus without any other classes to wor- ry about. "Calculus isn't r ything," she lamented. If it weren't for callulus, Weston admits she would rather not be in Ann Arbor this summer, "I was here last sunmer and not much goes on." SPENDING THE simmer in Ann Arbor is nothing new to Ric Lee. An Ann Arborite all his life, Lee said that he is taking class- es this summer so he can fill his gradua- tion requirements, "as soon as possible." The engineering student seems to find classes more enjoyable in the summer, "There's less people around and you have better teacher/pupil relationships," he said. However, Lee offered still another reason for taking summer classes. "I can't find a iob and it'll keep me off- the streets." "I'M STAYING to get away from my parents," explained Lynn Sipher who grad- iiated last week. Sipher also said that she's staying in town because, "I like the city a lot. There's a lot of things to do. The parks are nice and I just like being able to browse around the campus." David Lichterman's major reason for re- maining in Ann Arbor this summer is that he needs one more class to graduate. How- ever, he added, "I hear Ann Arbor's dif- ferent'in the summer. It seems a lot more relaxed, and physically, the town's a lot more beautiful." "ANN ARBOR'S great in the summer," said Doug Clement who has spent the last three summers here and will have enough credits to graduate after spring term. "Everything slows down," he continued. "You ca really enjoy the town. You're not in such a frenzy all the time." JUST AFTER buying his spring term hooks, Bill Meltzer stated, "I haven't fig- tired out why I'm here." However, he did say, "It has something to do with otherwise being unemployed- to keep the unemployment statistics down." Claudia Petlichkoff, who will finish her studies next fall, believes her summer's stay working in Ann Arbor will be, "One more step in becoming more independent from my family." Even though she said Ann Arbor is, fine for the summer and school year, Petlich- koff added, "I don't want to make it a permanent residence." "There's a large university down the street, a Big Ten school, that I'll be at- tending," said Doug Nelso, explaining his major reason for staying in Ann Arbor this summer. Nelson added however, that he would much rather spend his summer, "clipping dividends on Wall Street and cal- culating my wealth."

Have a good week- end Shake, rattle and coal The Bureau of Mines is looking for contractors to research ways to make the transport cars used to haul coal out of mines vibrate. The bureau says that shaking the cars would cause the coal to settle, increasing the capacity of the car and improving mining efficiency. Proposals must cover design, con- struction, and testing of the method. If you are in- terested write Brian Duzik, Bureau of Mines, 4800 Forbes Ave., Pittsburgh, Pa., 15213. If you are not interested, then you are the same boat we are, and all you can do is laugh. The perils of Ca audine Remember Clatidine Longet, the singer who shot aind killed her lover, skier Vladimir "Spider" Sabich, and then got sent up the river for a tortuous sen-, tence of 30 days, which she could serve any time she chose? Well, she's back in the news again. It seems she felt that since she was suffering such a stiff sentence, she ought to be released early if she were 4 model prisoner. In fact, she went so far as to ask that she be let out 10 days early on good be- havior. But mean old Judge James "The Hanging Judge" Carter denied her motion, thus dooming poor, sweet Claudine to another 10 days of living hell in her Colorado jail cell .Come on Judge Carter, have a heart. All she did was kill a guy. And be- sides, it's Mother's Day! On the outside Today will be partly cloudy with a good chance of showers in the morning and a high of only 67 and an overnight low near 50. Tomorrow will also be partly cloudy and a bit cooler, with a high of 60.
