Local judge OKs printing
of Shroud o Turin book

From AP and UPI
As a three-day symposium of scien-
tists began yesterday on the controver-
sial Shroud'of Turin issue, a ban was lif-
ted by Detroit Judge Horace Gilmore
allowing an Ann Arbor printing firm to
publish a book on the much disputed
subject.
Servant Publications Inc. of Ann Ar-
bor will now be able to release its book
Verdict on the Shroud at its originally
scheduled time next week. Washtenaw
County Judge Ross Campbell had
prohibited the book's publication con-
tending it might jeopardize delicate
negotiations with the Roman Catholic
Church to allow a'carbon 14 dating test
of the shroud.
THE IMAGE ON the shroud is that of
a "scourged, crucified man," scientists
who examined the cloth for three years
said yesterday at the symposium. But
they added that science cannot decide
whether the image is Jesus Christ's.
The findings were announced at the
start of a three-day conference in Con-
necticut where 45 scientists will pore
over the study results.
The study, called the Shroud of Turin
project, concludes the image is that of a
human form of a crucified man and is.
not the product of an artist.

BUT, THE study summary says,
"Until further chemical studies are
made, perhaps by this group of scien-
tists, or perhaps by some scientists in
the future, the problem remains un-
solved."
The science team report said
chemical and X-ray tests determined
that no pigments, paints, stains or dyes
were used to create the image. It also
determined that the image was not
caused by spices, oils, or any
"biochemicals" produced by body in
life or death.
The scientists said the image was,
however, produced by "direct contact
with body, which explains certain
features."
"HOWEVER, while this type of con-
tact might explain some of the features
of the torso, it is totally incapable of ex-
plaining the image of the face with the
high resolution that has been amply
demonstrated by photography," their
report said.
The report also said the scientists
were unable to create a similar image
through experiments.
"At the present, this type of solution
does not seem to be obtainable by the
best efforts of the shroud team," the

report said.
"THERE ARE no chemical or
physical methods known which can ac-
count for the . . . image, nor can any
combination of physical, chemical,
biological or medical circumstances
explain the image adequately."
The scientists said conclusive
evidence of the cloth's age could be
gained via carbon 14 dating, which has
not yet been permitted by the Roman
Catholic Church.

University Prof. Allen Whiting said
he did not want to pass judgement on
any intervention actions of any country
because the question of good and bad is
"in the eye of the beholder."
Instead, Whiting said intervention
today is a "standard policy" of world
politics, and that-political meddling in
other countries is not a "superpower
disease" limited strictly to the most
powerful countries.
David Wurfel, a political science

professor atthe University of Windsor,
Ontario, said one of the U.S.'s greatest
future obstacles is its unwillingness to
believe that the American empire is
dead, and that continuing current in-
tervention policies will only cause more
problems.
Wurfel saidcurrent U.S. policies

cal woes hurt campus morale

ministration because programs they
believe are central to the school's pur-
DWIe, such as nursing, were nearly
eliminated.
"I'm thinking of going here for two
.years then going somewhere else," said
,freshman Jim Nickoff. "The name of
Michigan State is going down."
Some students said they were upset
because Mackey and . top ad-
ministrators received salary hikes this
summer.
Others wornited about the school's*
declining enrollment.
"THEY USED TO triple people up in
rooms meant for two," said Paanamen.
"gut this year there are only two to,a
room and they are advertising for
people to come back to the dorms."'
Off-campus apartment; owners have
slashed their rates on still-vacant units
that are usually filled to capacity.

Predictions indicate that MSU's
enrollment has dropped 6.3 percent
from a year ago. But administrators
caution against misinterpreting the
declining numbers of students.
ASSISTANT PROVOST -Dr.
Kissinger said although freshperson
enrollment is down by about 1,000 this
year, that figure can be misleading.
"We say a bulge in enrollment in the
last two years, so if you went by the
figures from before that, this is the
natural trend," he said.
The declining enrollment may ac-
tually be a blessing in disguise,
Kissinger said.
"WE'VE HAD A lot of trouble in the
business and engineering colleges,
because so many students are entering
these fields. This may help alleviate
some of that," he said.
Some members of the university
community say the whole financial

crisis may have been a disguised'
blessing.
"I don't think the spirit is gone," said
junior Kathy Ulrich. "They'have to get
back to the basic reason ' M SU was
established in the first place - to
educate people."
CRISES BRING OUT the best and
worst in people, said Judith Lanier,
dean of the college of education.
The education college was hit hard by
the budget cuts, losing, eight un-
dergraduate, six masters and seven
Ph.D. programs.
"When we weren't sure what was
going to happen, tensions were high,"

Lanier said. "But morale is up now.
Things are better."
Lanier said she believes MSU's ac-
celerated approach to reduction is bet-
ter than cutting slowly, bit by bit "If
you do it a little at a time that can brng
you to your knees and when more cuts
have to be made," she said.
