ties;
--report weekly to a court of-
ficial;
-and designate an individual
close to each defendant to in-
form the court in case either
woman gave indication that she
might flee the country.
Both women posted $7,500 last
Wednesday and agreed to the
four conditions set by Pratt,
thereby gaining their release
from Washtenaw County Jail,
where they had been held since
June 16.
THE PROSECUTION contend-
ed that Pratt should refuse the
two defendants bail because the
women might flee to their native
Philippines. There is no extradi-

tion treaty between the U.S. and
the Philippines.
Burgess called the bail ruling
"fair and understandable," say-
ing, "the judge had to balance
the serious charges here against
the background of the two de-
fendants."
Six unrebutted character wit-
nesses testified on behalf of the
two nurses at the bail hearing.
"The most important factor to
the judge," observed Burgess,
'is that the women have been
prime suspects in this case for
awhile - they've been under
suspicion almost from the start,
and they have never tried to
flee the country."
O'BRIEN noted that the new
bail ruling was "a lot more
realistic than $500,000 - which

is as good as no bail at all."
The two women have named
individuals to serve as liasons
with the court. Narciso's land-
lord in Ypsilanti, Curtis Bran-
ham, and Lucita Alcantara, a
close friend of Perez, were
designated.
U.S. Assistant Attorney Rich-
ard Delonis, heading up the
prosecution team in the case,
could not be reached for com-
ment on the bail ruling.
THE DEFENSE attorneys
said their clients were in good
spirits. Perez is five months
pregnant and is expected to give
birth before the trial begins.
The attorneys added that the
women will spend time helping
to form their defense.

State OK's bill to
replace 'U' hospital

By PHILLIP BOKOVOY
A revenue-bonding bill ap-
proved Friday by the state
legislature will provide, the Uni-
versity with $144 million to re-
place the main unit of the Uni-
versity Hospital.
Louis Graff, director of Health
Service Relations, said the bill
"is the first of a succession of
steps in building a new hos-
pital."
BUT ACCORDING to Graff,
many things must be done be-
fore construction of the hospital
can begin - the site must be
chosen; an architect must be
consulted and hospital officials
must decide the types of fa-
cilities to be built.
Hospital Director Jeptha Dal-
ston said construction could
start "optimistically, in a year."
However, one hospital official
estimatedit would be "at leas
five years" bfore ground could
be broken for the new facility.
DALSTON said that the pres-
ent condition of the 50-year-old
hospital "hurts the reputation of

the medical school." He added
that construction of a new fa-
citity would be a boon to the
school's reputation.
Graff said the existing fa-
cility "is obsolete for continuing
progressive adult medical and
surgical care." The new plan
would replace the beds in the
old hospital and renovate the
Women's Hospital.
The committee studying pos-
sible sites for the new hospital
has not decided where the fa-
cility should be. Four locations
are under consideration: the
patient parking lot in the Medi-
cal Center, the Fuller Field
area, the present location of St.
Joseph's Hospital, and the area
between the Veterans Adminis-
tration Hospital and Hurin High
School.
Dalston said he expects con-
siderable controversy in the
selection of a site. He said that
pople may complan if the new
hospital is built in the already-
congested Medical Center area.
He added that others might say
that the proposed Fuller Road
locations are too far from cam-
pus.
