Page 8-Saturday, March 28, 1981-The Michigan Daily SIX AMERICANS ABOARD Leftists hijack Honduran jetliner From AP and UPI MANAGUA, Nicaragua - Four armed men and a woman hijacked a New Orleans-bound Honduran jetliner carrying 87 people, including some Americans, forced it to fly to Managua, and demanded freedom for Salvadoran leftists jailed in Honduras. Once on the ground in Managua, 39 hostages were freed by the hijackers, who said they belonged to a Honduran leftist group, the Cin- chonero National Liberation Front, Vice Interior Minister Luis Carrion said. IN THE HONDURAN capital of Tegucigalpa, members of the group took responsibility for the hijacking and said "we are ready to destroy the airplane" unless their demands were met by Honduran officials. In Washington, the State Department said an "undetermined number" of U.S. citizens were aboard the plane when it was seized and that four American women and children were among those released. Carrion said six Americans were among the hostages still held inside the Honduran-owned SAHSA Airlines Boeing 737 by the air pirates, who carried pistols and submachine guns. HONDURAN TELEVISION correspondent Magra Navarro, one of the freed passengers, said in a telephone call to her station that she believed the hijackers would order that the plane with the hostages and crew be flown to Cuba, Guyana, or Algeria. She said the hijackers were demanding that Honduras release 15 Salvadoran leftists. El Salvador shares a border with Honduras, and Salvadoran leftists fighting to topple their U.S.- backed government often cross the border to escape capture by Salvadoran troops. Government sources in Tegucigalpa, capital of Honduras, said the hijackers also had nine other demands, but the sources did not say what they were. CARRION SAID Honduran government of- ficials were flying to Managua to negotiate with the hijackers, who commandeered the plan minutes after takeoff from Tegucigalpa, Hon- duras. He said some of the freed passengers told them the hijackers said they did not want political asylum in Nicaragua and planned to fly on to an unspecified country after their stop in Managua, Other hostages included Honduran Presidens tial Press Secretary Jonathan Mussel and a high government official from Belize, formerly British Honduras, identified only as "L. Schumach," Carrion said. Among the hostages freed were two Honduran children - Mario Antonio Rivera and his sister, Yadira - who the Nicaraguan Red Cross said bad been on their way to New Orleans for un- specified emergency surgery. 0 Maryland begins priso BALTIMORE (AP) -Officials laun- ched an investigation of Maryland's troubled prison system yesterday and halted a furlough program after 26 in- mates released to attend work or college classes were indicted on charges including drug selling, rob- bery, rape, and murder. Gordon Kamka, secretary of Public Safety and Corrections, told a new con- ference that state police would conduct a complete investigation, including a check of top corrections officials. COL. THOMAS SMITH, state police superintendent, said six investigators would probe all work-release programs and "any improprieties of officials." Sixty-one sealed indictments were handed down Thursday against 26 of the state's 1,800 work-release prisoners. Eighteen were rounded up that night by Baltimore police, who were following prisoners being taken from the minimum-security Brockbridge Correctional Institution in Jessup. Kamka immediately suspended all work-release programs from Jessup, where inmates were either transported to a work detail near the Maryland Penetentiary in Baltimore or were taking collge courses in the metropolitan area. "AS OF TODAY, every inmate in Maryland will be in prison," Kamka said, although he did not mention suspending the program in other areas of the state. Maryland's correctional system has been the object of severe criticism in recent years from prison guards to state legislators. In August, 1979, some 30 inmates walked away from the House of Correction in Jessup and guards have staged repeated "sickouts" and slowdowns the past year, claiming they are understaffed. In addition, Maryland is under a federal court order to reduce severe overcrowding in its prisons. EARLIER THIS MONTH, three work-release inmates in Baltimore were charged in connection with a $500,000 phony bus pass operation that allegedly cost the transit operation hundreds of thousands of dollars. Kamka defended prison operations, saying he "inherited a system with a lot of difficulty. Corrections was a low- priority item." Kamka was visibly up- set that Baltimore police conducted the probe probe and subsequent bust without his knowledge. "It's unfortunate. It could have been handled much differently," he said. "If we had been involved, we could have made the arrests much easier." Meanwhile, Edwin Goodlander, state corrections commissioner, denied there were problems with the release program. Gov. Harry Hughes issued a statement late Thursday calling for a thorough investigation. Industry health rules face review 0 6 WASHINGTON (AP)-In a move that could have broad implications on workplace health rules, the Reagan ad- ministration said yesterday it will review the costs of cotton dust standards on the textile industry. The standards were designed to protect thousands of tex- tile workers from a respiratory condition known as "brown lung." ASSISTANT LABOR Secretary Thorne Auchter said the Supreme Court was being asked to delay a ruling on a pen- ding case challenging the standards, issued in 1978 by the Carter administration. Auchter said the administration will focus only on the cot- ton dust standard now, but acknowledged the study will be done with a view toward putting other workplace rules under scrutiny. "It is a way to make sure we choose the regulatory alter- native that offers society the greatest net benefit," said Auchter, head of the Occupational Safety and Health Ad- ministration. AFL-CIO PRESIDENT Lane Kirkland, attending a regional federation meeting in San Francisco, said "it is a disservice to the exposed workers and to the legal process for the Labor Department to make an eleventh-hour attempt to reopen a rulemaking proceeding that began more than five years ago." Officials of the Brown Lung Association in North Carolina said the move is a setback to their efforts to make textile mills a better place to work. In New York, Murray Finley, president of the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union, ex- pressed "great sorrow" at any weakening of the proposed standard. "THE STANDARD-which is so vital to the health of over half a million American textile workers-has been over 10 years in the making," Finley said. "It represents the hopes of working people for a decent working environment." A textile industry organization, the American Textile. Manufacturers Institute, welcomed the move. "The industry is effectively protecting its employees now and will continue this in the future," the trade group said. Auchter said his agency had no consultations with the tex- tile industry before making the decision.

Reference points have to be seen." Administrative Assistant Pat St. George, who hires and schedules models, emphasized that a "professional" approach is taken in nude modeling. On the stage, she ex- plained, the model is a figure for the ar- tist to draw, but in the five-minute rest period between poses, the model "becomes himself again." SINCE ADMINISTRATIVE guidelines state that the model should be undressed only when necessary, the model is required to wear a fulhlength robe, she added. According to Art Prof. Julia An- drews, the objective of Figure Drawing (one of four art- school prerequisite courses for upper-level classes) is for students "to learn about the proportion of the human body, how it moves and articulates, and how to transpose a moving three-dimensional form which exists in space to a two-dimensional flat surface." "It's hard to draw the clothed form," Andrews explained, because it is dif- ficult to see "the structure and mechanics of the body." WHILE THE STUDENTS are oc- cupied with their drawings, the models must remain completely still for 25 minutes. Each model thinks of something different to pass the time. Female model Randi, who is also a writer, passes the time by writing stories and reciting poetry to herself. Jayne, who began modeling at 13, said she sings enough songs to herself to comprise one side of an album. Each professor has a different ap- proach to figure drawing. Prof. Ted Ramsay, noted for his liking of a theatre-in-the-round atmosphere, likes to employ props. With seashells, towels, sunglasses, and heavy floodlights, he creates his own Daytona Beach. One of his students' favorite "scenes" is a swing that was constructed over the stage, surrounded by artificial turf, flowers, and clouds. Ramsay said his goal is to "make the environment in- teresting and provide a quality ex- perience." Male model Doug believes that people who become models have special qualities. "Models are people who like to show off their bodies. They are aware of what they look like." Jayne added that it is "nice to see your- self" in the students' drawings. RANDI SAID having "great muscle definition" is an asset to a model, while Doug, who is a dancer, said he has "the discipline to hold the same position (for a long time)." However, all said they felt awkward at first. Doug admitted he was self- conscious, but now feels "a sense of relief. I can do what everyone else can't do." Randi said she would see herself "being immortalized" if one of the students' drawings of her was displayed in the Bachelor of Fine Arts Show. Many models participate" in athletics but stress that it is not an essential part of being a good model. Although Doug advised models to watch their weight, he said he once gained 10 pounds to broaden his torso so he could look more like "Winged Victory," a piece of sculp- ture in the Louvre. ACCORDING TO Ramsay, "the best models are dancers and other ar- tists, because they understand the sub- tleties of transfering weight in giving the artist what he wants." The art school has been hiring models for about 20 years, St. George said. The administration started their own hiring because they were displeased with the tardiness and unreliability of the models that were sent from a Detroit agency. Models are rotated on a weekly basis and work between 12 and 15 hours a week. "Most people have heard modeling pays well," said St. George, "but there is more to it than standing there." A person without previous experience earns $4.25 an hour, while experienced models' earnings range from $4.50 to $5.00 an hour. St.-George said although most of the models she hires are students, she also hires people of varied backgrounds and experiences - such as a bank teller, an accountant, a security guard, and a maintenance worker.
