XCll, No. 39 Copyright 1982, The Michigan Daily Ann Arbor, Michigan-Saturday, October 23, 1982 Ten Cents Eight Pages Police broaden search for killer By FANNIE WEINSTEIN City, county, and state authorities late last night vowed to broaden the search for a convicted murderer who escaped from a corrections van in downtown Ann Arbor yesterday mor- ning. Kyle Johnson, serving a life sentence for murder, and two other inmates were being transported to an Ann Arbor city court when they managed to free themselves from leg irons while riding in the back of a police van. When two officers opened the rear doors to the van, the three inmates bolted. Two of the prisoners were ap- prehended immediately by the officers, but Johnson managed to escape. ' ALTHOUGH he had freed himself from leg irons, Johnson was still bound by a chain around his midsection, ac- cording to Luella Burke, director of prisoner services at Huron Valley, mens's prison, where all three inmates were serving time. Reports conflicted, however, as to whether Johnson had freed his hands from the "belly chain." Johnson, of Pontiac, was serving a life sentence for the 1979 beating death of an Oakland County woman. He had previously escaped from prison in November, 1978, While serving time for breaking and entering. Johnson was scheduled to appear in Washtenaw County Courthouse yester- day morning to face charges stemming from his participation in an April 30 riot at the facility. JOHNSON, a 22-year-old white male, is five-feet, seven-inches tall and weighs 135 pounds. He has a brown crew cut and hazel eyes. In addition to acne facial scars, Johnson has scars on his forehead and chest. He was last seen wearing prison blues, police said. "He'll fight and he's considered ex- tremely dangerous, even if he's not ar- med," said Susan Tommelein, com- munications supervisor for the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Depar- tment. Police conducted house-to-house searches throughout the day yesterday in the downtown and northwest sections of Ann Arbor for Johnson, who fled at 10:30 a.m,, Ann Arbor police Sgt. Harold Tinsey said. Cars leaving the city were also checked, and two helicopters circled the area to aid in the search. ACCORDING to Ann Arbor Police Sgt. Jan Suomala, although more than 100 men helped search for Johnson yesterday afternoon, by nightfall, there were only 15. But Ann Arbor Police Department said it had extra cars patrolling the city last night in case Johnson was sighted. Campus security, was not increased, according to shift supervisor Robert Davenport.

Frye to ask Regents toliinat ISMRRD Johnson ... bolted from van By JIM SPARKS University Vice President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye announced yesterday that he will ask the Regents to close the Institute for the Study of Mental Retardation and Related Disabilities. *,Last July, a six-member budget review panel recommen- ded that the institute be closed, but asked that its Child. Development Clinic be saved. The University's executive of- ficers, however, have voted to close the entire institute, in- luding the clinic. 'FRYE SAID that the institute did not excel in teaching, service or research, and said he didn't think the clinic could stand alone without the rest of the institute. He added that he will see if other areas in the University, such as the Depar- tment of Pediatrics, could take over some of the clinic's work. Although three grants totaling more than $300,000 came in for the institute during the review, Frye said the grants didn't justify keeping the institute open. Herbert Grossman, the institute's director, was unavailable for comment yesterday, but will issue a statement Monday, according to Eugene Handley, director of the institute's Continuing Education Division, LAST JULY, Grossman bitterly disagreed with the budget committee's recommendation to close the institute.

Arroyo is sane, expert testifies By SCOTT KASH KIN Arthur Arroyo is sane by both legal and psychological standards and most probably "was in control of his behavior" last Christmas Eve when he set the blaze that destroyed the Economics Building, a psychologist testified yesterday. In the last day' of testimony inArroyo's trial, State Forensic Center psychologist Ira Packer said that Arroyo was "neither mentally ill nor insane," based on an interview and tests given to Arroyo last spring. Packer said that Arroyo, whom he described as having "above average in- telligence," had tried to show himself in a light favorable to his insanity defense during his interview. "He tried to go out of his way to portray this ... He presents it as I had no control over myself,' Packer said. "(But) it ap- pears his behavior was goal-directed and that he was in control of his behavior." Packer's findings, however, almost directly contradict those of Max Hutt, a psychologist in private practice who testified in Arroyo's trial two weeks ago. Hutt said Arroyo scored abnormally See ARROYO, Page 2 Ten men arrested for dealing drugs in city park By GREG BRUSSTAR Ten menR from the Ann Arbor- Ypsilanti area were arraigned yester- day in an Ann Arbor court for dealing marijuana and LSD at Gallup Park. The arrests were the result of a three- month-long investigation involving the Ann Arbor Police Department, the Pit- tsfield Township Police Department, and the Livingston and Washtenaw Counties Narcotic Enforcement Team (LAWNET), according to LAWNET spokesman Detective Lt. Herman Newman. CITY POLICE said agents had been watching the park, which is located on the Huron River across from Huron High School in the city's north side, for several months since citizens had com- plained the area was being used as a center for drug sales. Undercover officers bought drugs from the men on several occasions sin- ce July, Newman claimed. "During the investigation, officers observed high- school-age students frequenting dealers and using narcotics," according to a police statement released yesterday. "In recent years, Gallup Park has become a gathering point for troublemakers, malcontents, and See MEN, Page 2 "We are very much in favor of doing everything we can to help the faculty," said Trustee Carole Lick. Collette Moser, president of the MSU chapter of the American Association of University Professors, was not im- pressed. "I would have thought the trustees would have made some gesture to help the faculty," she said. "These are tough economic times all over Michigan. Are we just so poorly managed that .we can't remain competitive with the rest?" According to AAUP, MSU salaries rank 27th among 46 "elite research universities."

MSU faculty to receive a 5% pay raise EAST LANSING (UPI)- The Michigan State University Board of Trustees yesterday voted the college's faculty a 5 percent pay raise, but it left the educators unsatisfied. The hike, approved as part of the school's 1982-83 budget of $215,783,000, will take effect in January and also ap- plies to student employees and ad- ministrators. The trustees, who approved the raises unanimously, said additional pay hikes will be given if the economy im- proves. "Any recommendation for a hike would be a compromise," MSU President Cecil Mackey conceded. Daily Photo by DAVID FRANKEL.
