The Michigan Daily-Thursday, October7, 1982-Page 5 Swedish navy tightens net around mystery sub Daily Photo by DEBORAH LEWIS The rarely visited Clements Library remains a mysfery to most students. The library contains many rare American books, manuscripts, and original documents dating back to 1493. Clements Library still1 BERGA NAVAL BASE, Sweden (AP)-Forty Swedish vessels and a fleet of helicopters tightened their net yesterday around a submarine believed to be a Soviet-bloc vessel near a top secret naval base. The navy dropped seven depth charges and threatened to sink the sub if it tries to break out of the Swedish trap. NAVAL OFFICIALS speculated the unidentified vessel-believed to be hiding in a narrow, 12-mile-long chan- nel in waters south of Stockholm- might be a small, new spy sub, possibly remote-controlled and without a crew. Sweden has refused to speculate on the nationality of the intruder, but newspapers have said the vessel was believed to belong to a Warsaw Pact nation, perhaps the Soviet Union or Poland. The Kremlin, in its first comment on the incident, said the sub saga may be a hoax designed to disrupt Scandinavian- Soviet ties. THE DRAMATIC sub hunt near the Musko naval base 18 miles south of Stockholm is the most serious naval in- cident since October 1981, when a Soviet submarine U137 ran aground close to the main southern navy base at Karlskrona. Yesterday the navy deployedrcoast guard commandos and army troops near the search zone to bolster the fleet of hunters, including a submarine salvage vessel and 10 helicopters. "If the suspected submarine tried to break out we might resort to more drastic methods including sinking it,' navy Capt. Cay Holmberg said. "OUR GOAL is to force the sub- marine to surface undamaged," said Holmberg, a veteran anti-submarine warfare specialist. Since the sub was first spotted Friday, 25 depth charges have been dropped. Asked if the ship had been damaged, Holmberg said: "It is possible." Navy spokesman Capt. Hans von Hofsten said, "We are widening the scope of possibilities. The vessel has withstood a very hard shakeup and has not always reacted as expected." Other officials speculated the vessel may be unmanned. In Moscow, the official news agency Tass cast doubt on the existence of a "mysterious unidentified underwater object" and questioned Western motives for publicizing the hunt. "The atmosphere of tension is being artificially whipped up by the propaganda machinery." Tass said, referring to reports from the Swedish Defense Ministry about the search for a submarine. Subscribe to The Michigan Daily 764-0558 unknown around By RITA GIRARDI - Tucked unobtrusively between the Aresident's house, and, the Un- dergraduate Library, the Clements Library remains one of the most unique yet most unknown buildings on campus. John Dann, director of the library, said unlike the other campus libraries, Clements caters to the advanced researcher who needs to use its collec- tion of rare books, manuscripts, and other original documents from early American history. THE LIBRARY'S material spans ore than 365 years, from Columbus' wreport of his first voyage dated 1493 up to the late 19th century. Clements library boasts a collection of 47,000 rare. books, 36,000 maps, and 300,000 letters and documents, as well as an extensive collection of colonial newspapers and 18th-century sheet music. The original deed purchasing Mackinac Island from the Indians and handwritten letters from Benjamin *ranklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Benedict Arnold are a few examples of the, research material the library of- fers. MOST OF the 150 people who visit the library each week come to view the exhibits, Dann said. Among the current displays at the library is a world map drawn in 1674 by a misionary in China and discovered about 30 years ago in a one-room Ann Arbor schoolhouse. Another exhibit includes letters from George Washington, Patrick Henry and Revolutionary War Gen. Anthony Wayne, after whom Wayne County is named. The same display shows letters and diaries of Civil War soldiers, rare war photographs, and letters from Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant. Dann estimates that 500 people an- nually use the library for research. He added, however, that these figures are not a measure of the library's usefulness. "We don't mark our suc- cess by the number of visitors." THE LIBRARY is known among historians and scholars worldwide for its outstanding collection of early Americana. Half of the people who use the library for research purposes do so from out of state, Dann said. Because no materials are circulated, the library will photocopy requested documents for campus a fee and mail it to long-distance researchers. Mark Odintz, a teaching assistant and graduate student currently working on his Ph.D. in early American history, said the Clements Library in- fluenced his decision to continue his post-graduate studies at the University. "The nature of manuscript sources is unique," Odintz said. The documents "aren't replaceable." THE LIBRARY'S facilities attract visiting specialists in his area of study. "It's a good way to meet important people in the field," Odintz said. Dann said, "The library's benefit to the University is to bolster research and teaching and to give a level of sup- port that's first rate. It makes the University of Michigan a little more special than any other university." The library was a gift to the Univer- sity from William Clements, a Univer- sity graduate and former Regent. Clements, who went on to become a wealthy Bay City industrialist and banker, donated the building and his own collection of historic documents in 1922.

Universityproperty thefts on the rise EPICUREAN GOURMET TAILGATE (Continued from Page 1) THERE ARE many ways someone could have got- ten into the offices of the Bureau of School Services and stolen a typewriter this weekend. The Bureau moved into a new set of rooms in the School of Education Building, and were still in the process of having locks put on the doors. "It could have been anyone from the outside, we had a lot of visitors this weekend," said Kent Leach, director of the bureau. "They did choose a good typewriter. I know they probably scouted around the whole building and probably scouted around the whole campus," he ad- ded. IT APPEARS that people have access to the buildings, said Elaine Harden, assistant dean in the College of Engineering. When Harden left her office in the West Engineering Building there were two IBM Selectrics sitting on the desks. When she returned the next day they were gone. "People have keys to get into the building," Harden said. "I think they have fallen into the wrong hands." In one case, Stevens suspects a thief represented himself as a University Plant department employee coming to pick up some office etjuipyment for repair. "We haven't developed any solid evidence for suspec- ts yet," Stevens said, but he added that staff mem- bers should check for proper identification when con- fronted with this type of situation. r j l fi Watermelon filled with fresh PARTIES DISCOUNTS FOR: Fraternities Sororities Alumni Campus research issue cools for a (Continued from Page 1) with a hesitation not apparent last year.

And if you're like most college students, your budget doesn't allow for any "bad breaks." That's why it's a good idea to help protect yourself against the medical expenses of an unexpected sickness or accident by enrolling now in the 1982-83 Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan, approved by the MSA for University of Michigan students and their dependents. Underwritten by Mutual of Omaha, this plan provides hospital-surgical protection for covered sickness and accidents - plus benefits for X-rays, lab tests, ambulance and even major medical expenses.
