Respondents are South Quad residents. IN BRIEF t Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports I Lisa Mackey, LSA freshman: "I don't feel threatened, but it's a big hassle. It's not fair to everyone. Maybe I should be more worried." Dave Dever, LSA freshman: "Yes, I do. It's scary to wake up to smoke. We didn't know what to expect. Someone threatened everyone's lives. It's pretty scary. If it hap- pened again someone could get hurt more easily." Robert Regan, LSA fresh- man: "I thought they were just drills at the time. When I found out they were real, I wanted them to catch the per- son who set them. Next time it happens, people won't be so calm; it could turn into something serious.." Philip Weiss, LSA freshman: "No. We have a pretty good alarm system. We can get out- side in about ten seconds." Yosuf Hameed, LSA sophomore: "I don't feel threatened. There's so many fire alarms, it gets ridiculous. This year isn't as bad as last year because they have more serious penalties. Usually the fire departmentis pretty fast so I don't feel in danger." .I Todd Schulte, Engineering sophomore: "Not really. If I can't get out of my room, I've got a tree outside my win- dow." Cathy Dowling, LSA fresh- man: "Yes, I do. But I didn't take it that seriously. Because they're in trash cans, they'll go out. I thought of it more as a viscious prank. If it hap- pened again, I'd take it more seriously." Larry Kolasa, LSA junior: "Yes, I do. I can't imagine why someone would set the fires. That's a pretty direct threat to my well being. That kind of malice directed towar- ds everyone is pretty stupid." Chevetta Gilmore, LSA freshman: I felt threatened the night it happened, scared that somebody had actually set them. Right now it doesn't bother me that much." Brian Pearlston, LSA fresh- man: "I didn't feel threatened at first, but when we came down and saw the smoke, I got a little worried. I don't think it's a real threat, but it's not to be taken lightly."

Nixon's note was addressed to Hollis Kimmons, who told the dealer he was part of Nixon's Army escort on the mission. Kimmons said he signed an agreement not to say anything about Nixon's role for 20 years, the dealer said. "It is unquestionably Richard Nixon's handwriting," Gerard Stdolskiof Paul Richards Autographs in Templeton, Mass., said in a telephone inter- view. "And Sgt. Kimmons was in the right place at the right time." One account of the mission, publishd in an autograph collectors' periodical, said Nixon met with a Viet Cong leader, then traded a case of gold bars for five U.S. prisoners in Cambodia. The note, scrawled on a 3-by-5-inch white paper, reads: "To Hollis Kim- mons, with appreciation for his protection on my helicopter ride in Vietnam, from Richard Nixon." It is undated. The story could not be independently verified, although Nixon was in Southeast Asia at the time. Kimmons could not be reached yesterday. Agents seize plane in drug raid MIAMI-Federal agents seized the largest cargo plane ever taken in a drug investigation yesterday but failed in their scheme to trap smugglers who planted more than a ton of cocaine aboard the jumbo jet. Customs officers found 2,478 pounds of cocaine in a flower shipment aboard the $119 million Avianca Airlines Boeing 747 Wednesday after it arrived on a flight from Bogata, Colombia. The shipment of flowers was bound for Montreal and agents replaced the cocaine with white powder and allowed the shipment to continue as scheduled on another flight. The flowers arrived in Canada Thursday as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police watched. But a spokesman for the Vice President's Task Group in Miami said there apparently was no evidence the drugs were intended for the people who picked up the flowers and no arrests were made. New import to hit car market DETROIT - While U.S. carmakers fret about imports from Japan, a little car from another shore is about to hit U.S. showrooms boasting a base price of $3,990 - more than $1,000 less than the cheapest cars now sold in America. It's called the Yugo - as in Yugoslavia - and New York auto importer Malcolm Bricklin said yesterday that the 'car will be available in June from Boston to Baltimore with plans for nationwide distribution of 70,000 cars in the first year. Bricklin has a few roadblocks ahead. The car has yet to be certified for America's pollution and safety laws and his dealer network still is being set up. Mechanically, the Yugo and its Fiat-designed engine date to about 1970, and the competition from up-to-date Japanese cars will heat up if Japan lifts its U.S. import quotas this spring. But Bricklin said the price is for real and that will sell the Yugo, although he added, "If it's not a good car, we're going to have credibility problems." Polish -officials arrest activists WARSAW, Poland - Authorities brought charges against seven Solidarity activists captured in a police raid on a meeting in Gdansk, and summoned Lech Walesa for questioning on the same charge - inciting public unrest. Three of the seven charged were placed under arrest. Walesa who also at- tended the meeting Wednesday but was released immediately, accused Poland's communist authorities of "hatred, repression and...violation of human rights." The Solidarity leaders had met to plan a 15-minute nationwide strike on Feb. 28 protesting government plans to raise food prices. Walesa founded the now-outlawed union in Gdansk during the labor unrest of 1980, also set off by price increases, and won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. After getting the summons, Walesa issued a joint statement with Jacek Kuron, founder of the workers' rights group KOR, condemning the raid and the prosecutor's decision to place three of the men under arrest. KOR ad- vised Solidarity in the union's formative period, and then disbanded. Panel recormmends Minnesota judge's removal for cheating ST. PAUL, Minn.-Minnesota Supreme Court Justice John Todd should be removed from office because he cheated on a bar examination by using reference books, a special three-judge panel recommended yesterday. Todd, 57, would be the first membr of the state's Supreme Court to be removed from office if the state Court of Appeals accepts the panel's recommendations. Todd violated judicial canons and is "guilty of conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice or conduct unbecoming a judicial officer...," the panel said. The three-judge panel was appointed last November by the Court of Ap- peals after the court, in a 4-1 decision, rejected an agreement in which Todd agreed to accept public censure for using reference books during a. multistate bar examination in July 1983, but denied he intended to cheat or take unfair advantage of other people by using the books.

Wallace Assistant in Ministry, Madelyn Johnson tation informs local radio stations of the emergency, 'but what do you do if you don't listen to the radio?" Irwin asked. Chris Vargas, a city resident, also complained about his car being towed. "I don't know if I'm upset enough to ac- tuallyfight it, but I'm close. It's tem- pting," Vargas said. VARGAS criticized the city's incon- sistency in declaring the snow emergency: "It's been snowing all win- ter and nothing has been done. Then they decide arbitrarily to make it a snow day." John Robbins, director of the Ann Ar- bor Transportation Department, said the snow emergency was necessary to clear the streets of the larger-than- usual snowfall. "We've had 21 inches in January, when we usually have about a foot. And we haven't had the so called January thaw," he said. ROBBINS said the procedure was necessary to clear streets in case of emergencies. But he said it will be lif- ted tonight at 7 p.m. The old St. Joseph hospital area - in- cluding East Ingalls, East Kingsley, Catherine and Ann Streets - has been scheduled for snow removal today. The city's snow emergency procedures cost the city about $1,000 an hour, Robbins said. He added that the snow removal fines basically recover costs. The city's transportation department has received a lot of questions and complaints about the snow removal procedure,'Robbins said. "At least every other call is a com- plaint. They've been calling all day," said Denise Burch, a city accounting clerk. Robbins said that the Department of Transportation was not responsible for enacting the procedure. He said it was approved by the city council in 1979 in response to the 1978 snow storm. He ad- ded that he doesn't have the authority to change the procedure. IA 4 A Small business offers big jobs. 2nd BIG YEAR (Continued from Page 1) "Today, the majority still goes into big business, but there is some significant number that go into small and" medium size businesses. It's become a viable consideration." Between 1980 and 1982, small firms created 2.65 million new jobs - many of which were entry-level positions ap- propriate for business school graduates, he said. SINCE SMALL businesses usually don't recruit on campus, students must seek out jobs in this sector through per- sonal contact and research. One of the keys to getting a job in a small firm - or a large firm - is in- creasing one's marketability through extra-curricular experience, Carroll said. "Any internship program is a definite plus," she said. "An interviewer will usually want to know why you are in- terested in a given occupation," she said. "IF YOU tell him you've had ex- perience with it in a summer or part- time job or an internship the inter- viewee will know you've researched what the occupation involves." "This improves your credibility as a STOP BLUSHING NERVOUS STUTTERING & INSECURITIES Shyness, stress, poor memory, or bad habits, fear of exams, etc. will be elim- inated with the LEON HARDT METHOD, founded in Ger- many in 1932. Send $1 cash or stamps for brochure: LEON HARDT(D),P0Box 42905, Tucson, AZ 85733 candidate." One group of business school students has done just that. The University Con- sulting Group (UCG), a profit-making consulting firm for small businesses in the metropolitan Detroit area, was established this past summer by two MBA students. The students say the hands-on experience they have received already has proved valuable in their job searches. "UCG IS giving us a chance to manage our own company-the day to day operation-and come face to face with clients," said Ken Nachbar, a fir- st-year MBA student and current president of the group. "Large corporations are looking for people who can take initiative and get things done," said Colin Ahluwalia, a second-year MBA student who helped found the group. "Having worked in organizations like UCG shows them that you are disciplined and organized." Ahluwalia said he has received numerous job offers from Fortune 500 companies, including investment banks, consulting groups, and con- sumer good firms. Nachbar, has another year to finish before he earns his MBA, but already has been approached by two companies about internships. 4 Editor in Chief......................NEIL CHASE Opinion Page Editors...........JOSEPH KRAUS PETER WILLIAMS Managing Editors..........GEORGEA KOVANIS JACKIE YOUNG News Editor.................THOMAS MILLER Features Editor...............LAURIE DELATER City Editor ..................
