For the Spartans, that team was Michigan. A fired up State squad ended its seven-game skid with a 72-67 victory over the Wolverines before 10,004 at Jennison Fieldhouse. 'I KNEW they were gonna play well," said Michigan coach Bill Frieder after the game. "If you didn't think they were gonna play well, then you don't know what you're talking about." The loss was Michigan's third straight arid fourth in its last five games. The Wolverines are 4-5 in the Big Ten and effectively out of contention for the con- ference title. MSU won its first game in 29 days to up its record to 2-7 in the conference, and 8-10 overall. THE WIN took a lot of pressure off of State coach Jud Heathcote. "Someone just told me that this was our first win in 29 days," said Heath- cote, "but it seemed more like 29 years. What better way to end a losing streak than with a win over Michigan." Michigan guard Eric Turner almost spoiled the Spartans bid to end their streak. Turner matched last Saturday's brilliant four-overtime performance versus Illinois with another gem, scoring 21 points. "I THOUGHT Turner was the key," Frieder said. "He really made big baskets and gave us a lift." Turner led a second-half comeback with 12 points and an assist during a 14- 4 Wolverine run. The rally erased an 11- point deficit and cut the Spartan lead to See WILLIS, Page 10 ' battles. measles outbreak Daily Photo by DOUG MCMAHON University President Harold Shapiro responds to questions posed yesterday by the Progressive Student Network regarding military research at the University. Inorm ation leak sends PSNto Shapiro s office, By BILL SPINDLE A measles outbreak on campus has prompted state and University officials to begin a massive immunization drive in all University dormitories.'- Two cases of the highly contagious disease have been reported at the University in the last two weeksi Both were in Markley dormitory. The most recent case was diagnosed yesterday. BECAUSE the virus began in Markley, residents in that dormitory were the first to receive immunizations yesterday: Over 200 showed up for the shots within the first hour, according to Caesar Briefer, director of University Health Services. State health officials are asking all students, especially those who live in dormitories, to get a shot if they have not received one since 1968 when the most effective vaccine was first put into wide public use. Briefer estimated that "anywhere between 20 percent and 50 percent of students may not have-the proper im- munization." ALTHOUGH only two cases of the disease have been diagnosed, the virus can spread rapidly, warned Eleanor Puffe, a spokeswoman for the University Health Services. "Two cases is not an epidemic, two cases are an outbreak," she said. "But two people can be infecting a lot of people they know." The problem at the University ap- pears to be related to a state-wide out- break of measles. Both Washtenaw County and the City of Port Huron have had "epidemic" spreading of the disease, said Susan Cares, a Washtenaw County Department of Health supervisor. Ten cases have been reported in Washtenaw County, she said. There is no direct link, however, between those cases and the ones at the University, she said. UNIVERSITY officials plan to cori- tinue immunizing students at Markley and Health Services through tomorrow. They plan to move through all the other dormitories starting Monday, and hope to finish the drive before spring break which begins on Feb. 17. Briefer said that immunization will not be offered at the dorms on Saturday and Sunday because officials feared too few students would take advantage of the shots over the weekend. "The efficiency of a weekend Free measles vaccinations will be offered at various campus locations for the'next two weeks. A schedule ap- pears on page 5. program would be pretty low," he said. "If you are going to be there, you want to get maximum penetration." HE SAID they have to finish the im- munizations by spring break to prevent spreading the disease over the state and nation. "That's an epidemiologists's night- mare," he said. "To have a bunch of people with measles go off all over the country." One of the most contagious diseases, measles can be a fairly dangerous illness in: adults, said Patrick Remington, a state health department official who was helping distribute shots at Markley. Although 'children usually experience only mild sym- ptoms, adults often develop high fever, a flu-like sickness, and a large rash which usually begins on the face, he said. "Although commonly thought of as a harmless childrens" disease, it more SEE 'U', Page15 By CLAUDIA GREEN and PETE WILLIAMS The Progressive Student Network had to abort a planned laboratory sit-in yesterday morning, when they were greeted at the lab by a locked door and six security officers. But they took their protest to President Harold Shapiro in- stead. The group of 17 people gave up plfns to take over the Cooley Electronics Laboratory on North Campus and walked into Shapiro's office to demand an end to defense research on campus. SHAPIRO WAS out when the group sat down around his desk at 10:35, but he walked in a few minutes later with his hands in his pocket, and said "What's up?" "We were wondering, why the University finds it necessary to protect military research with half-a-dozen security guards," responded PSN member Naomi Braine, a Residential College sophomore. Shapiro then sat down at his desk and answered the group's questions about defense research. He also agreed to appear at a forum Feb. 9 in the Michigan Union, if the forum is "an open and free exchange of ideas." TOM MARX, who helped found the group in the summer of 1982, called the meeting "a victory. We got what we wan- ted, and we did civil disobedience . . . we got the ad- ministration to agree to a forum which we have been trying to do for two-and-a-half years." Marx said he was concerned that the University found out about the sit-in, but said there could be "a million reasons for the leak. "I don't think someone is spying within the organization," he said. "We're just not a really tight-lipped, secretive organization." See PSN, Page 2 Psych0logist testifies in By CAROLINE MULLER A professional psychologist testified yesterday in Ann Arbor U.S. District Court that both Robert Fulmer and Louis Molitoris were "psychological hostages" and "stripped of their free will to make conscious choices" because they were allegedly held as slaves on a Chelsea farm for over 10 years. Dr. Harley Stock, who works for the State Center for Forensic Psychiatry in Ypsilanti and has testified in over a hundred different court trials as an ex- pert witness, was the only witness called to the stand yesterday in the state's first slavery case in more than 60 years. STOCK WAS questioned yesterday by defense attorneys Ivan Barris, David Goldstein, and Thomas Stringer, the three lawyers representing Ike Koz- minski, 61, his wife Margarethe, 56, and their son John, 30, who are each charged with one count of conspiracy to violate civil rights and two counts of in- voluntary servitude. Stock said during his testimony that both.Fulmer and Molitoris are mentally retarded and show clear signs of brain damage. He said Fulmer has an IQ of 67, Molitoris, 60. Ninety-nine percent of the population would score higher on a fil trital standard IQ test, he added. "These scores are very, very low," Stock said. "It's almost impossible to get lower unless someone is in- stitutionalized." STOCK HAD earlier administered several tests to the two farmhands, one which involved the two making human drawings. "(Fulmer's) drawings were empty, as is Mr. Fulmer psychologically," Stock observed. "He's washed out. He isn't interactive with his environment." Stock said the two farmhands went through "involuntary conversion,' a process where patients change their behavior against their will. He called the case "captivity syndrome," and described it as a breaking down of free will. STOCK listed ten possible causes for the victims' states: - exposure to mental and physical abuse over an extended period of time; * subjection to such abuse several times a day; " relative isolation from people; " loss of social support systems such as outside family; " attacks on personal characteristics;. " lack of privacy; " feelings of being trapped with no See FARMHANDS, Page 5 Groundhog sees six more weeks of winter By LARRY MISHKIN Special to the Daily PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. - Forget about an early spring and brace your- self for some more winter weather, despite what the weatherman might say. Amid shouts of "We want Phil," Punxsutawney Phil, the only true weather prognosticator, came out of his burrow on Gobblers Know at 7:20 a.m. yesterday and saw his shadow over his right shoulder, indicating six more weeks of winter. PHIL IS THE "official" groundhog the nation watches for predictions each February 2. According to the legend, if the groundhog comes out of his hole and sees his shadow, it scares him back into his hole to wait out six more weeks of winter. If it is cloudy, the groundhog expects an early spring. As the 14 members of the Groun- dhog Club's exclusive Inner Circle gathered around the entrance to Phil's hole and hundreds of spectators looked on, club President James Means read a declaration making the groundhog's 98th annual prediction official. "Phil's always accurate," Means said. "Last year he was perfect. He didn't see his shadow and a few days later I was outside playing golf." " PUNXSUTAWNEY Mayor James Nelles agreed that Phil knows his stuff, and explained what the ceremony means to his city. "We get an influx of about 1,500 people who participate in the various Groundhog's Day activities," Nelles said at the post-ceremony breakfast. "The publicity for the community is phenomenal. This gives the people an identity. I'm a believer in all of this. Since I've lived here, Phil has never been wrong." And apparently there are many others who believe in Phil's forecasting ability. Spectators, many of whom had been waiting since 3:30 a.m., came from cities as far away as Ann Arbor, Philadelphia, Pa., and Ithaca, N.Y: for the occasion.

Students began collecting the bonuses Wed- nesday. "There's about 40 in line. They're lined up out the door," said Ron Pape, the credit union's general manager. "The first girl had five A's," he chuckled. Her reward was $2 credited to her account. Pape said it's possible the credit union might begin paying extra dividends next year to those students who demonstrate leadership, by being elec- ted president of a campus club or being selected a dor- issue. All the panel had to do was change the classification of skunks in, the Virginia game Hlaws from "nusiance" to "fur-bearing" animals. Assistant State Game Com- missioner John Randolph told the House Conservation & Natural Resources Committee that a permit is necessary for the possession of a fur-bearing animal. "And, since we don't approve of trying to domesticate skunks, we would not issue a permit to keep one unless it was related to the fur industry," he 'said. The bill's patron, Del.
