I age 2 - The Michigan Daily - Sunday, December 4, 1983 Fires continue to plague AMHERST, Mass. (UPI) - A new arson fire plagued the sprawling University of Massachusetts yesterday despite the arrest of a coed senior who allegedly set at least one of more than 30 small fires that have routed students from their dorms into the cold this semester. Some 200 frightened students were forced out of the Cance House dor- mitory at 1:20 a.m. yesterday, when someone set papers ablaze on a third- floor bulletin board. No one was injured and damage was minor. "I JUST WISH it would stop," said Andy McKenna, 18, of North Attleboro. The fire came less than six hours af- ter police arrested Yvette Henry, 20, of Philadelphia, a senior chemistry major and dormitory monitor. She was the fir- st person charged in the fires which have disrupted the 25,000 student cam- pus in western Massachusetts. Henry, in charge of her dormitory floor at all-woman Guy Crampton lHouse, was held on $10,000 bail at the Franklin County House of Correction in Greenfield after her 8 p.m. arrest Friday, authorities said. She is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow. INVESTIGATORS found what they said was crucial evidence when they rang a false alarm and cleared the 180- student Crampton House to search the building. Crampton was the scene of 17 of the fires and a similar but less frequent series last year. Henry was charged with setting per- sonal and university property on fire. Authorities would not say if she was a suspect in more than one fire. As a residential assistant, she was the administration's student represen- tative on her floor and was in charge of the safety of its residents. After yesterday's blaze, the second at the four-story Cance House, university U. Mass. spokeswoman Arthur Clifford said state investigators were pressing their probe into the fires. "I'm tired, I'm scared, I'm frustrated," said Crampton resident Sarah Pike 20, of Orleans. "They've caught me in the middle of sleep, in the middle of study, just about in the mid- dle of everything." Notes scrawled in red ink on the walls of the four-story, concrete and metal Crampton, including one that said "Kill Crampton, kill Crampton," led in-1 vestigators last week to three unnamed suspects, according to Rosemary Tarantino, an assistant district attor- ney coordinating the probe.

"We don't know exactly what the application will be, but it will probably surprise us," Bonham said. "The personal computer started in the same way." The robot industry is sure to expand. As it stands now, there are only about four companies that market personal robots. Heath takes up between 60 and 80 percent of the market, according to Bonham, but more competition is sure to follow. "RUMOR HAS IT that several other companies will be coming out with per- sonal robots," he said. A principal competitor is Androbot the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company founded by Nolan Bushnell, who also founded Atari and Chuck E. Cheese pizza parlors. "Androbot is taking kind of a consumer approach," said Bonham. "It's almost like a video- game...that type of approach." But Bonham says Heath isn't worried about losing its substantial share of the market. The company is widely diverisfied, with computers making up much of its business. Heath has sold "several thousand" robots so far Bonham said, and expects sales to stay at their present high rate. Bonham summed up the state of today's personal robot by saying that "this makes a nice step between the computer and the domestic robot." But the future holds endless possibilities. "What's next?" Nobody knows. It's fantastic," said Johnson. "I think that in fifty years you'll see something straight out of 'Star Wars.'
