4 Page 2 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, Seotember 13. 19R. Diana heads toward East Coast IN BRIEF (Continued from page 1) be a tough day down there." A HURRICANE warning was in efect from the South Carolina border to Oregon Inlet at the north end of North Carolina's Hatteras Island, including most of the fragile islands of the Outer Banks, and a tornado and flood watch covered much of the eastern end of the state. More than 14,000 evacuees went to 65 shelters Tuesday in a 12-county area of coastal North Carolina, Gov. Jim Hunt said. Nearly 500,000 people live in the coastal counties threatened by Diana, and gubernatorial aide R. Brent Hackney said it was impossible to tell exactly how many others were staying with relatives or in motels. In Wilmington, some people crept out of shelters into the rainy weather yest- erday to see what the storm had done to their property. BUT HUNT,who flew from Raleigh to tour the Wilmington area, warned people to stay inside the shelters because Diana "is still a very dangerous storm" with its erratic movement and the possibility of heavy rain. "We've got a disaster in the making, we want them to stay in cen- Associated Press Waves roll to the shore of Wrightsville Beach, N.C. from hurricane Diana yesterday.

"The damage thus far is fairly light, thank goodness," the governor added. I've seen uprooted trees, street lights down, I don't know about any homes that have been badly damaged. In Norfolk, Va., emergency services coordinator Robert Smith said food supplies were being readied for evacuation centers in case Diana moves north. The Navy sent about 45 shipes out to sea to "ride out the storm," said Senior Chief Troy Snead, a spokesman at the Norfolk Naval Station. BEACHES south of Wilmington were spared the full fury of 135-mph winds. tCInthin EPA selects new sites for superun cleanup WASHINGTON (AP) - The En- are evaluated to determine their poten- vironmental Protection Agency yester- tial threat. day added 128 sites to its priority list for Listing does not affect a site's cleanup under the $1.6 billion "super- eligibility for emergency action. fund" abandoned hazardous waste Thomas said any imminent threats to dump program, and said about 250 health at the sites already have been more are likely to be added within a addressed. month.

Elderly woman agrees to Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports GM prepares UAW wage offer DETROIT-General motors prepared yesterday to make a wage offer to the United Auto Workers while a number of auto industry analysts predicted the current contract would be extended in lieu of a strike. The current concessions contract covering 350,000 workers at the nation's largest automaker expires at midnight tomorrow. Ford Motor Co. announ- ced that the same contract covering its 114,000 workers would be extended pending a resolution of the GM situation. Ford spokesman Tony Fredd said the extnesion, which is a formality, hinges on a 72-hour notice from either side. The GM wage and benefit offer was expected late in the day. GM, in an initial bid last month that was rejected by the union, offered workers a lump sum payment of $600 in the first year of a contract, $300 in the second year and no new money in the third year. Iraq destroys Iranian convoy MANAMA, Bahrain-Iraq said yesterday its warships attacked and destroyed a four-ship "enemy convoy" in Iranian waters at the north end of the Persian Gulf. An Iraqi military communique, broadcast by Baghdad radio and monitored in Bahrain, said the convoy was sailing through the shallow Khor Mousa creek, heading for the Iranian port of Bandar Khomeini when the two-hour attack occurred. It was the third attack in three days reported by Iraq on ships in the Per sian Gulf. There was no independent confirmation of the attack. The attack lasted two hours, according to the communique, which did not identify the stricken targets beyond saying it was an "enemy convoy." "The Iraqi armed forces will deal Iran's supplies further destructive blows, until Iran bends to the call of peace and justice," said an Iraqi military spokesman over the state-run radio. Iran, which has been at war with Iraq for the past four years, made no comment on the reports. Marine shipping and salvage sources along the Persian Gulf said there was no way for them to verify the claim independently. "That's too far up in the gulf for us to be involved," said one shipping executive in Bahrain, who spoke on condition he not be identified. "We have picked up no distress signals from any ships today."' Ulcers linked to smoking BOSTON-Smoking appears to be the single most important cause of recurring ulcers, and giving up cigarettes is probably more effective than the leading ulcer drug for avoiding this painful condition, researchers have found. Doctors have long noticed that smokers are more likely to develop ulcers. The latest study concludes that they are also far more apt than non-smokers to have ulcers come back again after they have healed. The researchers found that Tagamet, the widely used ulcer-healing drug, often keeps ulcers at bay. But smokers who take the medicine still have more repeat bouts of ulcers than do non-smokers who doh't use it. About 10 percent of all Americans have ulcers at some time during their lives. This has made Tagamet, known generically as cimetidine, one of the nation's most widely prescribed drugs. "Smoking appears to be the most important factor in recurrent ulcers," said Dr. Stephen Sontag. "We analyzed for acid output, as well as sex, duration of ulcer disease and other variables. Only smoking was statistically significant." Some argue that smoking may not really cause ulcers. Instead, they say these people have a "smoker personality." And it's the personality, not the cigarettes, that make them susceptible to ulcers. Pope blesses poor fishermen FLATROCK, Newfoundland-Pope John Paul II blessed the hard-pressed fishermen of this poor, rocky coast yesterday, and delivered a powerful in- dictment of modern economies that fail to put "people over things." Governments must change their economic systems and end chronic unemployment, "so that human needs be put before mere financial gain," the pontiff told several thousand people huddled in this tiny, windswept village. He then stepped directly into an explosive Canadian political dispute by endorsing worker cooperatives and joint worker-management ownership of the fishing industry, taking the fishermen's side in a battle with the federal government over their economic future. "Good fishing, safe passage and God's blessing," the pope said. John Paul, on the fourth day of a 12-day Canadian tour, chose to emphasize economic and family issues in this island province, where centuries of isolation have made "Newfies'.' a poor and close knit community. At an outdoor Mass later yesterday in the provincial capital of St. John's, the pontiff praised those Roman Catholic couples who bow to church prohibitions against artificial contraception and divorce. State may sue to halt bible clubs HOWARD CITY-Tri-County School District officials said yesterday the threat of state legal action to halt voluntary religious instruction in their elementary schools comes as "no surprise." Phillip Runkel, state school superintendent, said he will ask the State Board of Education next week to authorize Attorney General Frank Kelley to file suit against the district to stop noon-hour "Bible clubs" which are held in the elementary schools. Runkel's statement came in response to the Tri-County School Board's unanimous vote Monday to allow volunteers from Bible Center Ministries of Jenison to hold the sessions at McNaughton Elementary School in Howard City and Sand Lake Elementary School. John Stevenson, Tri-County School Board President, said he does not ex pect his colleagues on the board to reverse their position on the issue "on the I threat of a suit." 4 Natural Fabric Clothing 325 E.Liberty-Ann Arbor 995-4222 pay $uu CHICAGO - An elderly widow says she didn't think there was anything unusual about a contractor asking for a $25,000 down payment plus $25,000 more in installment payments to fix a leaky toilet. "How was I to know?" she said. Af- ter all, six previous visits by the same contractor already had cost her $16,000. The plumbing job might have cost 84- year-old Rose Rolek her life savings had it not been for a bank clerk and an off-duty policeman. MRS. ROLEK went to Citicorp Savings on Monday and withdrew $25,000 for the downpayment on the job. Clerk Joyce Narducy asked her why she needed so much cash and then summoned James Ryan, a 22-year police veteran who moonlights as a bank security guard. RYAN ASKED Rolek if she had a contract for the job, and she produced a piece of paper that stipulated she would pay $25,000 immediately and make a series of $5,000 monthly payments for a total of $50,000. "But it wasn't a contract," Ryan said. He called his station and two officers went to Rolek's South Side home, where they found eight employees of Central Home Improvement Contractors tearing up the concrete basement floor. for wakry uiuet 1 IF Now a family frof fourcan eati 'h I Police hunt 'gun-totng' actor (Continued from page 1) 7 - _ I o a 1 Olyat Ponderos * Ornlyed Within minutes, two Ann Arbor patrolmen were on the scene. And along with Homyak, who they asked to iden- tify the person, they began searching third floor classrooms. Although it may sound exciting, Homyak said he anticipated the worst. "I thought wow, I didn't want to stay for anything." BUT THE police officers found their man. He wasn't robbing students or holding instructors hostage. Instead he was just sitting - in a theater and drama class. The gun-toting suspect, who had rushed past Homyak was carrying a theater prop - a non-functional rifle. And Homyak wasn't a hero - even though he gave it his best shot. "I'm a little embarassed," Homyak said. "And the Ann Arbor police did say to me that it was better to be safe than sorry," he added. "But geez, these things don't happen to me every day." Ann Arbor police Capt. Harold Rady, said the department did not file a report of the incident because no rules were broken. The only casualty was Homyak's bruised pride. Ah, another happy ending. I . Morn and Dad get their choice or teVluM Steak Chicken Breast or Choppe Stea uffet M with the World's Biggest.
