The Michigan Daily - Thursday, September 13, 1984 - Page 3 Woman extradited in Belushi case TORONTO (UPI) - Cathy Evelyn Smith, a former singer who once admitted injecting a fatal "speed- ball" of heroin and cocaine into comedian John Belushi, was ordered extradited yesterday to Los Angeles to stand trial for murder. Declaring there was enough evidence to commit the Toronto woman to trial, County Court Judge Stephen Borins ordered an extradition be carried out within 15 days and also ordered that she be held in custody until extradition. DEFENSE attorney Brian Greenspan said he would decide later yesterday whether to appeal the order. He has 30 days to appeal, but according to the Canada-U.S. extradition treaty she can be extradited within 15 days if an appeal process has not been star- ted. Greenspan said he would also decide whether to file for a writ of habeas corpus that would set her free. Smith, who had been free on $75,000 bail, was escor- ted out of the courtroom and placed in the West Detention Center. She also faces 13 drug-related charges as a result of Belushi's death in 1982. Greenspan said Smith, who appeared unmoved by the ruling, was in relatively "good spirits" because "she realized there was a strong possibility this result would occur." In Los Angeles, Detective Russell Kuster, an in- vestigator in the Hollywood division, said he expected Smith to appeal the order, which she fought for more than a year. "IT'S NbT over yet," Kuster said. "We expect her, lawyer to appeal and a final ruling to be made within 15 days. But we still expect to bring her back." Los Angeles District Attorney Robert Philibosian said in a prepared statement, "The decision by a Canadian court today to extradite Catherine Evelyn Smith is an important victory in our 18-month legal battle to bring her to justice." Smith, a former singer and songwriter, is charged in California with having administered a fatal over- dose of heroin and cocaine to the star of the "Satur- day Night Live" television series and movies such as "Animal House." Belushi died in a Sunset Strip hotel room March 5, 1982, of a drug overdose. Doubts arise over transplant'wonder drug' BOSTON (AP) - A widely used drug that dramatically improves the success of heart, liver and other organ tran- splants can cause irreversible kidney damage and should be given with great caution, a new study concludes. Ironically, the drug, called cyclosporine, is used larged in kidney transplants. The researchers cautioned that in this operation, cyclosporine's benefits "may be more than offset over the long term" by damage to the tran- splanted organ. THAT prediction is likely to be con- troversial. Follow-up studies of kidney patients show that so far, at least, cyclosporine seems to give them a bet- ter chance of having a healthy, working kidney. It may also be possible to minimize the damage by using smaller doses of the drug. It has been widely credited in recent years for vast improvements in the suc- ces of liver and heart transplants. The latest study was conducted at Stanford University, which has a large heart transplant program. However, Dr. Robert Merion of the University of Michigan Medical Center, who has conducted a four-year com- parison study of cyclosporine in kidney transplants, said doctors have long recognized that the drug can cause some kidney damage. And he still believes it is highly effective. Bullard campaign offers By ELYSE KIMM With the fall campaign way, State Rep. Perry B arbor) is adding a new reelection campaignt showing movies.

Mondale has been equally straight- forward in his support for choice. "I believe the decision whether to have a child is a very personal one, and I agree with the majority of Americans who are pro-choice," Mondale says. "We can all hold our personal views on abortion, while agreeing that the government should have no role in limiting the choices available to women. I opoose any constitutional amendment or legislation that would allow others to restrict or limit a woman's right to choose an abortion." Even before Ferraro was put on the defensive, it was clear that, at a minimum, abortion would be a recurring issue in the background of the cam- paign. Charges have been traded bet- ween the Mondale-Ferraro and Reagan-Bush campaigns over religion and~ politics, how Christian teachings should fit into public policy. Both the pro-abortion and anti-abor- tion movements look on the presidential election as crucial to their cause.' Nanette Falkenberg, executive direc- tor of the pro-choice National Abortion Rights Action League, said her organization is emphasizing the fact that whoever is elected in November is likely to shape the course of the Supreme Court for the next 40 years. Some aging justices are likely to retire during the next presidential term. "The outcome of this year's presiden- tial election may well determine whether abortion remains legal in this country," she said. But Falkenberg and David O'Steen, executive director of the National Right to Life Committee, disagree over the role that abortion plays in voting behavior.
