Page 2-Saturday, October 4, 1980-The Michigan Daily VIKING SCHOLAR DISPELLS MYT HS A T 'U Not all the Vikings had horns! By KAREN HORN There is more to the Viking legend than what the carton character "Hagar the Horrible" would lead one to believe. "There is no evidence that all Vikings wore horned helmets," said James Graham-Campbell in an inter- view earlier this week. Graham-Campbell, a Viking scholar on his first U.S. lecture tour, guessed the helmet myth grew popular in the 19th century. GRAHAM-CAMPBELL tried to convince his University audience Wednesday that the Vikings were not just pagan pirates and brutal raiders. They were skillful artists and craftsmen, too, he said. The Viking scholar is in the United States for a five- lecture tour to publicize a display of Viking artifacts, in New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The show opened there last week. In his lecture, Graham-Campbell emphasized the ornamental and decorative purpose of the Vikings' art, which was created in the 9th, 10th, and 11th cen- turies. THE SCHOLAR stressed how the Viking art forms influenced other European nations and how the Romanesque style in turn influenced the Vikings. Graham-Campbell spoke of "the vigor . . . the restless quality" in the art of these "plunderers and loosters" and noted "an advanced nature of stylization" in the 1200-year old artifacts. Some of these objects reflect superstitions and symbolism while others illustrate the effect of Christianity on the Viking community, he explained. THREE YEARS AGO, Graham-Campbell took part in an excavation in the Western Isles of Scotland. Since then, he has helped select exhibits and assem- ble catalogs for the current exhibit. "A very addictive subject-archeology," the historian said of his profession. "I caught the bug!" Graham-Campbell said his major interest lies in the study of the Viking artifacts and their place in art history, rather than the actual excavating, however. Graham-Campbell received his undergraduate degree at Cambridge University and studied for a year in Norway. His graduate studies were done at the University College London where he currently directs the Medieval Archaeology Program. The Economic Blues Many woes attributed to unemployment By The Associated Press A middle-aged, unemployed Detroit chemical worker reached a point where he couldn't look his wife in the eye. Every time he did, he said, he burst into tears. In nearby Lincoln Park, a young married couple lost their jobs, their house, their car, their television, and their telephone. Both began ex- tramarital affairs. Both began abusing their two small children. THESE ARE JUST twd of the cases cited by beleaguered mental health workers around the country who report a growing number; of incidents of depression, alcoholism, and family violence. As they did in a similar Associated Press survey three months ago, mental health officials lay much of the blame on the continuing strain of dealing with inflation, recession, and unem- ployment. "Historically, when financial con- ditions from a national perspective are tighter, we will witness an increased incidence of breakdown," said David Turkot, an Atlanta psychologist. WHOLESALE PRICE figures released yesterday marked the first drop in that economic barometer in four-and-one-half years, although the Labor Department said the 0.2 per cent drop would have been a 0.4 per cent in- crease had the index not included a new factor never used before. August's Consumer Price Index had prices 12.8 per cent higher than a year ago, and bank prime interest rates skipped higher this past week, which eventually may make loans prohibitively expensive to many con- sumers. In addition, the national unem- ployment rate is now 7.5 per cent, which brings the number of Americans out of work to eight million. "THREE OUT OF five people who come to us for help are unemployed. Our volume is up 25 to 35 per cent," said Judson Stone, director of the Six Area Coalition Mental Health Center in Lin- coln Park. Unemployment in Wayne Coun- ty-where Lincoln Park is located, just outside Detroit-was 15.6 per cent in June, the latest statistic available, said Rick Rosen of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. "We use unemployment insurance figures for our statistics and they've been so overloaded there with new ap- plicants that they can't get the numbers to us," he explained.

Two months later, 26,200 people there applied for 75 Social Security jobs. "It is a desperate picture," said Phyllis Diggs, director of the North Baltimore Mental Health Center. She said 15 to 20 per cent more people are seeking the center's help this year than last. "It's been increasing steadily for the last five or six months," she said. "The way it comes out is in more depression, heavy drinking, and some family violent." 'None of this surprises Thomas Cot- tle, a sociologist and psychologist 'at Harvard Medical School who has studied unemployment's emotional im- pact for 15 years. Cottle calls unem- ployment "a killer disease." "IN OUR CULTURE, working is close to the center of life. Our culture teaches that if you don't'work in an ac- ceptable way, then you're supposed to be depressed," Cottle said. "And when job loss lasts. . . a million symptoms show-tooth decay, kidney failure, alcoholism, sexual infertility." Police vpeculate on murder victims' activities (Continued from Page 1) bor, I would lock myself in my room on Saturday night," Delhey added. Detective Jerry Wright said the com- posite would fit a general description of the man police are looking for. "We ex- pect to get a lot of calls-then we'll start the process of elimination," he ex- plained. Although police have been in contact with the unidentified witness since the day of the killing, coming upwith an accurate composite is a time- consuming process, Wright added. "FIRST YOU have to establish the reliability of the witness," he said. "Then you have to wait for the shock to wear off and interview and re- interview." Wright said an earlier composite only slightly resembled the final draft. The Ann Arbor Police Department is asking that anyone who has knowledge of these crimes, or believes he or she is witnessing an assault in progress, to notify the department at 994-2875. A confidential telephone line has also been established by the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department for citizens with information. The number is 973-7711. The University has a 24-hour telephone service for students who hear a rumor and want to check its ac- curacy.That number is 76-GUIDE. Ann Arbor police will warn noisy party-goers (Continued from Page 1) complaints of a number of Univer- sity students-asked that he revise the policy. "THE STUDENTS came in to see me Threat with broken gun IN BRIEF Complied from Associated Press and United Press International reports Sept. unemployment rate drops in nation, Michigan WASHINGTON-The nation's economy showed new signs of improve- ment in September witha slight decline in the unemployment rate and an easing of wholesale price increases, the Labor Department reported yester- day. The White House said it believes the drop in the unemployment rate in- dicates that President Carter's economic policies are working. In Michigan the unemployment rate dropped .6 percent, from 12.5 per- cent in August to 11.9 percent in September. The decision was due, in part, to modest callbacks in the auto industry, Michigan Employment Security Commission's Director Martin Taylor said. Congressman pleads innocent to sex-solicitation charge WASHINGTON-Rep. Robert Bauman (R-Md.), a major conservative voice in Congress, pleaded innocent yesterday to a sex-solicitation charge he:' said was the result of a drinking problem. Police said Bauman performed oral sodomy on a 16-year-old boy in the Capitol Hill district last March. Bauman agreed in court to Darticinate in a six-month rehabilitation. program for first offenders. If successful, the charge of "soliciting for lewd. and immoral purposes" will be dismissed. But Dr. Albert Dawkins, an Eastern Shore internist who described him- self as Bauman's physican and lifelong friend, said Bauman "is in no way, shapeor form an alcoholic." Rifle in Jordon s shooting may be linked to other deaths INDIANAPOLIS-The FBI said yesterday it must assume a high- powered rifle used to shoot civil rights leader Vernon Jordan in Fort Wayne, Ind., could have been used in attacks on blacks in five other cities. And, agents said, the attacks could all have been the work of one man-who is being sought in two Salt Lake City slayings. But investigators said they still have no proof. Agent Steve McVey said the FBI was proceeding on the assumption that a 30.06 caliber rifle offered for sale in a Cincinnati newspaper advertisement June 7 is the weapon with which Jordan was shot and wounded last spring, and that the rifle was offered for sale by Joseph Franklin, who has been linked to the August 20 sniper slayings of two black joggers in Salt Lake City. Polish workers stage strike GDANSK, Poland-Members of Poland's fledgling free trade unions, ignoring government warnings that they were jeopardizing their new in- dependence, walked off the job for an hour yesterday in the first legal strike in a Communist nation. Union leaders permitted strikes only at plants where losses would not be severe and work continued in some crucial divisions of plants that did strike. The independent unions called the token stoppage to protest what they say is a failure by the government to act on promises made in the un- precedented Aug. 31 agreement which allowed free trade unions and provided pay hikes. The unions' show of strength came on the eye of a crucial Communist Party Central Committee plenary session called to discuss Poland's shaky political and econonic situation not assault, court says LANSING-The Michigan Supreme Court ruled yesterday a man cannot be charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for making threats with a gun that does not work. The unanimous opinion overturned the Michigan Court of Appeals which had ruled an assault occurs if the victims believe they are threatened. The court said cases presented provided no authority "for the conclusion that the victim's apprehension of an object can transform it into a 'dangerous weapon." McQueen shows improvement LOS ANGELES-Tough-guy actor Steve McQueen, fighting a rare cancer most doctors consider incurable, was reported improving with an unorthodox nutritional therapy at a hospital in Mexico, spokesmen said yesterday. The 50-year-old star of such action films as "The Great Escape" and "Bullitt," has lived longer than his previous doctors had predicted and "has recently shown signs of improvement," said Hollywood publicist Warren Cowan. The treatment, developed by former dentist William Kelley of the Inter- national Health Institute of Dallas, consists of such factors as a regulated diet, nutritional supplements, and lifestyle changes. -1 Volume XCI, No. 27 Saturday, October 4, 1980 Is "WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"

The real important thing is which way are you going, which way are you traveling? In The Sermon on The Mount, Christ said the way to Heaven was "strait and narrow and few there be that find it", but the way to Hell was "broad and wide" and crowded! Have you ever definitely "turned about" - that is the meaning of conversion - and begun to "fight the good fight of faith" to walk the narrow way to Heaven? * Hear the Word of The Lord found in Luke 13:23: "Then said one unto Him (Jesus), 'Lord, are there few that be saved?' And He said unto them. 'Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last."' ("When the saints go marching in, Lord, I want to be in that number.") A few years back it was often that such passages of Scripture as just quoted were the subject of preachers' and evangelists' sermons. It appears now that most of them "don't do that any more." What is more important in this life than making your "calling and election sure" for eternity? The Apostle Peter said as long as he was living he thought it important to stir up his brethren to this end - 2nd Peter 1:10, etc. In recent years I have often heard preachers and evangelists who seemed to be greatly con- cerned about getting church folk to feel and believe they were saved. Maybe they are not, in view of the passage quoted above from Luke, and in view of the lives and con- dut nf many. The passage from Luke does not contradict 4 Editor-in-Chief ....................
