Cadaver caper mortifies student

YK D.A :

A University of Colorado student
received a startling surprise package
last month containing a human hand
and heart, apparently stolen from a
University of Vermont research collec-
tion.
Robert Florence, a student at the
University of Vermont in Burlington,
was one of the pranksters involved in
the caper and the one whose return ad-
dress appeared on the package.
COLLEGES
Florence confirmed that he mailed the
cadaver parts, which he said were left
in his car by fellow students.
It is not known whether Florence was
involved in the actual theft of the hand
and heart, and investigators are
waiting for the parts to arrive in Ver-
mont to determine if they really belong
to the university.
While the surprise package may have
been sent as a prank, University of
Vermont officials aren't laughing.
"This is not a joke," said Rodney Par-
sons, chairman of the university's
anatomy and biology department. "It
is a grotesque event that could jeopar-
dize the opportunities of a lot of studen-
ts."
Parsons said that he fears the thefts
might discourage potential donors from
contributing body parts needed for
research. - UPI

Berkeley may
give draft
resisters aid
Officials at the University of Califor-
nia at Berkeley may have found a way
around the Solomon Amendment,
which prohibits giving federal financial
aid money to male students who have
not registered for the draft.
A new draft registration compliance
form, proposed by Berkeley's financial
aid office, gives students a blank space
to write in their own reason for non-
registration.
Richard Black, Berkeley's financial
aid director, recommended the new
form because it will allow the univer-
sity to give federal aid to some students
who have reasons for failing to register
that are not listed on the Department of
Education's model form.
The new form would also include the
Department of Education's short list of
valid reasons for exemption for
registration. Students do not have to
register if they are female, under 18 or
over 23 years of age, on active duty in
the armed services, or a permanent
resident of U.S. trust territories.
But the university has put the new
form on hold until attorneys determine
if the university can legally decide if
reasons listed in the blanks are indeed
valid. Other administrators are also
worried that the university may be
open to prosecution if the federal
government decides the school gave
money to an ineligible aid recipient.
School administrators are expected
to make a decision within the next few
weeks. - The Daily Californian
Colleges appears every Saturday.

something out," he said.
Other University officials suggested
several courses of action for students
who lost property because of what one
dorm director called "an act of God."
"Take pictures of the damage and
take an inventory of all personal
belongings that were lost or damaged,"
said housing director Brenda Herman.
Other suggestions included keeping
receipts for dining out in the event a
kitchen was unusable, saving receipts
for hotels if you could not live in your
house or apartment, and keeping
receipts for dry-cleaning.
"We've also told (students) to
document conversations with their lan-
dlords." Herman, who also advises
"We've also told (students) to
document conversations with their lan-
dlords," said Herman, who also advises
landlords on such issues.
Keeping good records of such things
will speed the claims process, Herman
said. It will also improve your chances
of getting a fair reimbursement.
According to Eric Lipson, an attorney
with Student Legal Services, 20 percent
of SLS cases this week have involved
weather-related problems.
Unless a tenant can prove a lan-
dlord's negligence, chances are slim
that a tenant will successfully collect
for personal property loss.
The landlord is still responsible,

however, for supplying a habitable
apartment within a reasonable period
-of time after an emergency, Lipson
said.
Some of the worst water damage on
campus took place in fraternities and
sororities. Most of the members
questiond said their houses were unin-
sured.
Rick Schedler, a senior in
engineering, said his fraternity, Alpha
Delta Phi, will cover house repairs
from an improvement fund. He said he
didn't know of any students who were
filing claims with their own insurance
companies.
A member of another uninsured
fraternity said members will probably
not seek compensation for damaged
property. "They could but they won't,"
he predicted.
Student insurance provided through
Michigan Student Assembly cover
stolen personal property only, not
damage from floods, said MSA
representative George Trudell.

Negotiators fail to reach pact
with Lebanese rebel factions
BEIRUT, Lebanon - Druse and Shiite Moslems battled soldiers near the
capital and in southern Lebanon yesterday as mediators negotiated with
Lebanon's warring factions to complete a civil war disengagement.
The state radio said Syrian-backed Arabian Red Knights militiamen in the
port of Tripoli fought Islamic fundamentalists until declaration of a cease-
fire. There were no reports on casualties in the second day of street fighting.
The recurring violence underscored President Amin Gemayel's difficulty
in arranging a much-discussed security pact between the country's Moslem
majority and his Christian-dominated government.
Gemayel did not announce the agreement yesterday as Lebanese officials
had expected, possibly because Druze Moslem rebel leader Walid Jumblatt
refused to give the plan his blessing in a statement from Druse offices in.
Damascus.
On Thursday, Lebanese government and military sources said Saudi
Arabia had nearly completed mediation of a security plan for Lebanon that
would separate the coung.'s warring factions, and that it was acceptable to
Syria and Israel. Syria occupies large areas of northern Lebanon, and the
Israelis, who invaded Lebanon in 1982, remain in the south.

Reagan backs Wick despite tapes
WASHINGTON - President Reagan strongly defended U.S. Information
Agency chief Charles Wick yesterday saying Wick is not "a dishonorable
man in any way" and will stay on the job despite his secret taping of
telephone conversations.
Responding to questions as he left the White House for Camp David,
Reagan said he felt Wick, 65, just forgot to tell people he was recording their
statements.
"I don't think that Charles Wick is a dishonorable man in any way, and the
nature of the things that he was recording - and I can understand his forget-
ting sometimes when he was talking to people particularly that he knew -
the purpose of that was different from someone that is trying to keep a
record on other people's conversation," the president said of his longtime
friend.
The president said, "What he was actually trying to do was be able to im-
mediately transcribe so that he could provide the suggestions that were
being discussed to the people that would have to implement thems"
Killer's release spurs protests
SAN FRANCISCO - Dan White, who gunned down the city's mayor and a
supervisor five years ago, was paroled from prison yesterday to a secret
location in Los Angeles County, while activists in San Francisco led a day of
protest against his release.
Members of a protest committee, including gay activists still bitter
about the slaying of supervisor Harvey Milk, an avowed homosexual, called
for a series of demonstrations in San Francisco against White's release.
The first protest against White's release was a noon rally in Union Square
in downtown San Francisco. Another was organized at the Atlas Savings and
Loan Co., a gay financial institution.
The Department of Corrections said White, 37, was released at an un-
disclosed location in Los Angeles County, where he will live in a rented apar-
tment.
State prison spokesman Phil Guthrie said White has a job arranged but
declined to give details, saying, "If I give you any general information, it
would give away the location."
Guthrie said the terms of White's one-year parole forbid him from retur-
ning to his hometown of San Francisco where, on Nov. 27, 1978, he shot and
killed Mayor George Moscone, 49, and Milk, 48, the city's first openly gay
supervisor.
Heating costs soar in December
WASHINGTON - Heating bills jumped 41 percent in that December cold
snap, costing Americans nearly $1.8 billion more than usual to stay warmin
just the last two weeks of the month, according to government estimates
issued yesterday.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimated that
heating American homes and factories between Dec. 18 and Dec. 31 cost
$6.03 billion.
That's $1.76 billion more than would be expected in the same period of a
normal year, according to the agency's Assessment and Information Ser-
vices Center.
Residents of the West South Central region suffered the sharpest hike in
fuel bills, 116 percent above normal.
The agency estimated that residents of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and
Oklahoma spent $523 million for heat in the last two weeks of the year. In a
normal December, that cost should have been $242 million.
Tunisian leader lifts price ikes
TUNIS, Tunisia - Tunisians embraced and sang in the streets yesterday
after President Habib Bourguiba canceled the price increases for bread and
other foods that set off deadly riots throughout the North Africian nation.
Bourguiba went on nationwide radio and television to announce that "in
the face of all the troubles" he had decided to cancel the higher prices.
Within moments of the broadcast, residents of Tunis jammed the streets,
joyfully shouting Bourguiba's name, singing the national anthem and em-
bracing troops who were shooting demonstrators 24 hours earlier.
Rioting had begun in the poorer, southern provinces and spread to Tunis,
the capital, and other major cities. Unofficial reports said at least 57 people
were killed and thousands wounded as troops and police battled rioters.
