From AP and UPI
NEW YORK - Wearing a bullet-
proof vest, the man accused of killing
John Lennon was brought to court
yesterday so his attorney could with-
draw from the case. Police sources said
the attorney, Herbert Adlerberg, had
been the target of death threats,
although Adlerberg denied the reports.
Mark Chapman, the alleged killer of
the former Beatle, stood silent in the
courtroom yesterday as Adlerberg
asked the court for permission to with-
draw from the case.
"THIS CASE is becoming something
of an albatross for me," Adlerberg told
the court. "From my vantage point, it,/
would be to the detriment of this defeI
dant if I were to remain on the case."
Police sources said a number of calls
had been made threatening both the life
of Adlerberg and Chapman, who was

surrounded by police to and from court
yesterday.
Adlerberg, who met privately with
the judge before the hearing, made no
mention of the threats in court. The
presiding judge, Rena Uviler, will an-
nounce her decision on Adlerberg's
withdrawal request on Monday.
ADLERBERG LATER told reporters
that the case had interrupted his
private law practice with a flood of,
-media telephone calls and denied the.
police report of death threats. "I
received no threats," he said.
Meanwhile, Lennon's body was
cremated in suburban New York and
his wife,- Yoko Ono, asked the
musician's admirers around the world
to prepare for a 10-minute vigil of silen-
ce this weekend.-
Two of Lennon's fans committed
suicide after learning of his murder.

Engineers do more than design
bridges, buildings, and automobiles
these days. Through the Univer-
sity's bioengineering program, both
engineers and students in other
academic disciplines are applying
their nuts-and-bolts sense to the
most complicated machine of all:
the human body.
The interdisciplinary program,
established in 1963, is an effort to
cpmbine the engineer's quantitative
-xpertise with the physician's
qualitiative know-how. Backed by
the College of Engineering and
Medical School, the program has
enlisted 29 faculty members from 17
University departments.
A DEGREE in bioengineering
from the University, however, does
not guarantee that a graduate of the.
program will have the knowledge to
put together a six-million-dollar
man.

The bioengineer is "a person who
applies engineering techniques to
basic medical science," according
to David Anderson, chairman of the
bioengineering program. This
definition extends far beyond that of
a designer of artificial limbs.
Current research projects being
conducted through the program
cover topics including the
mechanical properties of bones,
muscle transplants, and the
mathematical modeling of bodily
functions.
JOHN FAULKNER, a professor of
physiology, involved in the
bioengineering program, is conduc-
ting research dealing with muscle
transplants. His project, aimed at
achieving a muscle transplant in
which a patient retains the "best
possible" use of the previously
damaged limb, involves
mathematical modeling and com-
puter methods used by engineers, he
said.

New scholarship combines
study with world travel

By DAVID SPAK
It could have been named the Phineas
Fogg Study Tour after the Jules Verne
character in Around the World in
Eighty Days.
Instead, the Michigan chapter of the
Circumnavigators' Club International
has named its new scholarship the
George Pierrot Memorial international
Global Study Tour after the chapter's
founder.
THE SCHOLARSHIP is a $5,000 grant
from the club to one University junior
for a study project that involves cir-
cumnavigating - or travelling com-
pletely around - the globe, according
to Hank Peiter, director of the LSA of-
fice of study abroad and senior scholar-
ships. j,
"This is not just a travel trip," Peiter

said. "A study project is intrinsic to the
program, which includes circum-
navigation of the world."
The two basic requirements for the
award, which will be handed out in
March, are that the student must travel
around the world between May 1 and
Sept. 1, and must "undertake a return,
to the University for the next academic
year."
PEITER- SAID students will be
judged on the overall quality of their
project, its relationship to world travel,
recommendation letters, and inter-
views with the selection committee.
Funds for the scholarship are coming
from individual members of the club,
which has 900 members in six locations
in the United States, and'-chapters in
Singapore and Tokyo, according to
Paula Moreland, a Michigan chapter
member.
The club compared the University,
Michigan State and Wayne State before
deciding to award the grant here
because "the University offered the
best potential of the universities in
Michigan," Moreland said.
Preliminary outlines from applicants
are due Jan, 30, and a general infor
mation meeting will be held Jan. 15 at
7:30 p.m. in loom 1041 Randall
Laboratory.
