Conviction upheld in slaying of 'Ann Arbor cab driver LANSING (UPI) - The' Michigan Court of Appeals yesterday affirmed Timothy Hughes' conviction in the slaying of an Ann Arbor cab driver. r According to the court, Hughes took a taxi driven by Eleanor Bailey from Ann Arbor to Pinckney on Dec. 22,1980. Shortly after arriving, he got in a fight with his girlfriend, Marilyn Creekmore, and stabbed her. When she ran to a nearby policeman seeking help, Hughes stabbed her again and lunged at the officer. Later that evening, Bailey's body was found abandoned on a gravel road in Livingston County. Her clothing and the Fab were found soaked with blood. Hughes was convicted in Livingston County Circuit Court of first-degree murder, assault and felonious assault. THE APPEALS court upheld a ruling that statements Hughes made in a hospital to a police detective were voluntary, even though he had received morphine. "We note particularly that defendant was interrogated well after receiving an injection of morphine and that the 1rial judge was able to listen to defen- dant's voice as it was recorded on Dec. 29, 1980," the court said. The appeals court also said photos of the victim, the roadway where her clothes were found and the interior of the cab were properly admitted as evidence. "These photographs indicate the ex- tent of the victim's injuries and were substantially necessary or instructive to the issue of deliberation and kremeditation," the court said. The appeals judges also found the evidence of premeditation was adequate, noting Hughes purchased a knife on the day of the killing, the vic- tim was stabbed in the face, nec and chest and the murder occurred in a secluded location. In another case, the court reversed a man's Detroit conviction for teaming up with a woman to sexually molest a Kecond woman. The appeals court said e victim allegedly went to the house of a woman she thought of as a friend only to be forced to strip at gunpoint and sexually assaulted. The Michigan Daily, Saturday, September 17,1983- Page 3, U.S. fast food industry detrimental to ramforests By KAREN LYNN KLEIN "I'm zooming all the time," says Richard Block, who, like millions of other Americans, grabs fast food when he's short on time. But Block, a lecturer in the School of Natural Resources, only eats chicken sandwiches - rather than hamburgers - at fast food joints, because the consumption of fast food hamburgers is a primary reason for the destruc- tion of tropical rainforests in Central and South America. In an article in the latest issue of the Michigan Alumnus, Block argues that grazing cattle, raised largely to serve the American fast food industry, are quickly eating up the forests. Because the topsoil in the rainforests is so thin, he says, it is quickly drained of important nutrients, forcing cat- tle ranchers to clear more land for grazing. "IT'S A TRAGEDY - It's very, very sad," Block said in an interview this week. Once the rainforests are leveled, the wildlife that once lived there "just disappear," he said. "They hve nowhere else to go." Habitat modification - not hunting by humans - is the major cause of extinction, Block said. The problem is that "we all have habits," he said. Americans want things cheaper, easier, and they don't think about what the en- vironment is going to be like 20 years from today, he said. In the article, Block discusses how human desires and a lack of foresight has led to the depletion of ther world's natural resources and the extinction of many plants and animals. Blocksaid that he is not an expert - just a concerned per- son. "I'm pulling from a wealth of information available (to anyone)."

"THE MORE people involved, the more successful we'll be in getting the administration to make some change," said board Member Susan Mc- Clanahan, who works in the Univer- sity's affirmative action office. But it seems unlikely the University will change its position since officials have avoided making any strong criti- cism of the law since it was first signed a year ago. University President Harold Shapiro has criticized the excess paperwork the law has brought the financial aid office, but he hasn't spoken out on the content of the law. UNIVERSITY officials announced in August that they had "no intention" of providing replacement aid for students whose federal aid is cut. Although officials sutpport private sources; such ta§ -'old's independent fund, to subsidize students who refuse to comply with the law, providing University loans would be inap- propriate, said Billy Frye, vice president foracademic affairs and provost. "The University shouldn't be in the business of attempting to thwart the government regulation using Univer- sity funds," Frye said. FINANCIAL aid official Lynn Borset, who spoke at the yesterday's meeting, said she was concerned that if the University provided replacement fun- ds, it would encourage more students to not sign forms. Wono Lee was the only board mem- ber who voted against the proposal. Lee, who works in the University's public relations department, said he favored waiting until the Supreme Court hears an appeal on the law before making any formal recommendation. The board also recommended that the Universtiy file a friend of the court brief when the high court hears the ap- peal in early November. The 11-member board is made up of faculty, staff, and students, and meets regularly on civil rights issues. Although six members were absent from the meeting, Gold said the vote stands as the board's official position. MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama Supreme Court yesterday upheld disciplinary action taken again- st a white judge who recommended that a black man with seven children be sterilized. "Such conduct hards back to an at- titude which we have made substantial progress in eliminating," the court said in an 8-0 ruling. "It cannot be tolerated in our courts of justice." Former Baldwin CountyCircuit Judge Wilson Hayes had asked the Supreme Court overturn a decision by the Alabama Court of the Judiciary, which suspended him for the final six weeks of his term, which ended last Jan. 17. The high court refused, saying the punishment was proper for Hayes' violations of judicial standards, in- cluding impropriety, lack of decorum and prejudicial attitude. Hayes, 54, is no longer on the bench because he lost a bid for re-election in November 1982. He has since opened a private law practice in Bay Minette. Hayes said yesterday the ruling resulted from an "innocuous com- ment" that was blown out of proportion. Before leaving the bench, Hayes heard a divorce case involving Freddie Lee Scott, a 42-year-old Foley resident Regents'cut Ed. School 40 percent (Continued from Page 1) Detroit) said she was concerned that the cuts would adversely affect the University's affirmative action goals, pointing out that the school has con- sistently had thelargest percentage of minority students. Frye responded that one of the first acts of the transition team will be a meeting with the University's affir- mative action staff. In other business at yesterday's meeting, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer James Brinkerhoff detailed the previously approved 1983- 1984 $863 million University general fund budget. He said that the Univer- sity profited significantly from the past year's surge in stock prices. The market value of the University's en- dowment increased 43.7 percent last year, bringing its total market value to $178.6 million. BRINKERHOFF also said that the first 105,000 shares of University stock invested in companies doing business with South Africa had been sold. Last April, the Regents voted to divest ap- proximatley 90 percent of the Univer- sity's investments in such companies. "This is just the beginning," Brinkerhoff said, adding that the University still holds a majority of the stock it held before the Regents' decision. (Continued from Page 1) $90,000 earned by John Cosovich, the. University's vice president for univer- sity relations and development, who previously garnered the highest salary among University administrators. In the past, "the president had in- sisted that his raises be modest," said Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Arbor). But "this year, we felt we could do a lit- tle better," he added. When Shapiro took office in January 1980, his salary was set at $79,950. It climbed 5.5 percent the following year to $84,437. HIS NEXT raise on January 1983 came three months later than usual, because the state had failed to deter- mine how much money it would give the University when classes began in Sep- tember. At that time, Shapiro only took a 3 percent hike, bringing his salary to $86,877. Regent Thomas Roach (D-Saline) brought the matter to discussion yesterday, and prefaced his proposal by describing Shapiro as "a real workaholic." "He is one of the absolutely top leaders in higher education in the country," said Regent Sarah Power (D- Ann Arbor), who said she supported the. who had fathered five children by his wife and two by a woman he started living with when he separated from his wife. During the divorce trial, the judge in- dicated he might let Scott keep the house he owned with his wife if he would undergo a sterilization, a vasectomy. Scott's attorney, Julian Brackin of Foley said he followed the judge into his quarters to question the vasectomy recommendation and was told "there were enough pickaninnies in the world." Scott, a hospital orderly, protested the sterilization but said he went through with the operation because he feared "Judge Hayes was going to take my place from me." Shapiro gets salary hike" raise "as wholeheartedly as I can." THE PROPOSAL was not listed on the day's agenda because "a lot of things are not matters for public com- ment," according to Regent Robert Nederlander (D-Detroit). Nederlander went on to say that Shapiro "has done an outstanding job during difficult times. We still feel that he's not adequately compensated." Vice President and Chief Financial Officer James Brinkerhoff called Shapiro's new salary "more consistent with the marketplace." BUT SOME University faculty mem- bers were less than enthusiastic about the pay raise, in light of the announ- cement of the School of Education cuts. "It's doesn't make sense to me," said Education Prof. Allen Menlo. "I don't understand increased investment in the University administration while we're cutting at the level where people are doing teaching and research." "I just think it's appalling," said Education Prof. Charles Lehmann. The raise precedes the announ- cement of pay hikes for the University's other six executive officers. Although the regents are responsible for setting the president's salary, Shapiro has-the task of deciding the wages of the vice president's and deans ----- m mmm=m =m mnm mm m m - m m - - mm I SCHOOL OPENINGS SMUNDIAL UNIVERSITY - ALL CLASSES IN ENGLISH " T !
