Page 10-Thursday, June 1, 1978- USC p e-med student shoots brother, self The Michigan Daily LOS ANGELES (AP) - A 21-year- old, straight-A student who killed him- self and his younger brother after lear- ning that his application to medical school had been rejected was con- sidered immature and introverted by interviewers, a school official said yesterday. Dr. William Nerlich, a member of the admissions committee of the Univer- sity of Southern California (USC) Medical School, said USC student Paul Ishkanian was turned down for medical school in January. HE SAID Ishkanian was a junior, and the medical school almost never accep- ts juniors, although Ishkanian would have graduated by the time he started medical school if he had been accepted. Ishkanian did not impress admissions committee interviewers favorably, Nerlich said. "One interviewer found him to be highly intelligent, but was concerned that he showed little emotion," Nerlich said. "Another interviewer was con- cerned with his maturity - with his narrowness, because he seemed to focus on studies alone." Last week, Ishkanian shot himself to dpath at his suburban Lakeside home after killing his 10-year-old brother, Robert, to spare him "the miserable t MChtgan atlg Student Newspaper at The University of Michigan I I ------------ WRITE YOUR AD HERE! ----------- ~~~I - i~--i- 1 - -1-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - I1 1 1ii --- - ----- --- -------_- - u _1II - .---------CLIPAND MAILTODAY!----------- USE THIS HANDY CHART TO QUICKLY ARRIVE AT AD COST WORDS 1 day 2 days 3 days 4 days 5 days 6 days addi. 0-10 1.15 2.30 3.05 - 3.80 4.55 5.30 .75 11-15 1.40 2.80 3.70 4.60 5.50 6.40 .90 Please indicate 16-20 1.65 3.30 4.35 5.40 6.45 7.50 1.05 where thisad 21-25 1.90 3.80 5.00 6.20 7.40 8.60 1.20 '"" rn 26-30 2.15 4.30 5.65 7.00 8.35 9.70 1.35 forsale 31-35 2.40 4.80 6.30 7.80 9.30 10.80 1.50 help wanted 36-40 2.65 5.30 6.95 8.60 10.25 11.90 1.65 pesonals 41-45 2.90 5.80 7.60 9.40 11.20 13.00 1.80 etc 46-50 '3.15 6.30 8.25. 10.20 12.15 14.10 1.95 Seven words per line.

The bodies were found Saturday by the youths' father, Edward Ishkanian, 56, who suf- fered a heart attack soon afterward. THE ELDER Ishkanian was in satisfactory condition at an Artesia hospital yesterday as his sons were buried in Long Beach. Paul Ishkanian apparently was depressed over the USC medical school rejection, Marlett said. He said Ishkanian had not heard from five other medical schools to which he had ap- plied. Nerlich said Ishkanian was among 3,051 applicants for 13 -freshman positions in the fall semester. NATO agrees to hike arms spending (coninue rom Page i hike their defense spenig programs by three per cent annually beginning in 1979, continuing for at least five years. NATO'S ASSESSMENT is that the Soviet Union is increasing its defense budget by five per cent a year and that already it is eating up between 11 per' cent and 14 per cent of total Soviet national resources. Although the NATO leaders spent their two days here embroiled in the problems of Western Europe, there were intensive talks on the sidelines about the need for some sort of Western action to counter Soviet and Cuban in- fluence in Africa. Among the ideas putforward was the concept of creating an African security force to counter the communist forces, which are estimated to include as many as 40,000 Cuban troops. There was both caution and criticism over statements by U.S. officials who have urged tougher Western responses to the communists in Africa. Britain's Prime Minister James Callaghan, for instance, warned again- st taking "action out of frustration" in Africa and claimed that some members of the Carter administration aplieared to be overreacting to Cuban-Soviet ac- tivity in Africa. Callaghan said he feared "a lot of Christopher Colum- huses are setting out from the United States to discover Africa for the first time." Callaghan echoed a complaint of several other NATO delegations when he said: "I'm not sure I get a clear voice coming out of Washington on this matter yet." THE UNITED States, Britain, Belgium and West Germany have ac- cepted a French proposal to meet in Paris next Monday to discuss ways in which the West could help African countries stabilize their economies, defend themselves more effectively and resist a communist invasion. The idea of a pan-African defense force almost certainly will be discussed in Paris and at a followup conference in Brussels in mid-June. But British and other diplomats here say neither the Africans nor the Western powers are displaying much enthusiasm about such a project. Any international force of African military units would need long and intensive training, a common language, and an assurance of competence before they ould play anyeffective role in defense of African territories.
