Asbestos in Lorch Hall gone, fnew test results say By LILY ENG New test results show that the asbestos released during recent con- struction in Lorch Hall has been cleaned up and poses no further health -hazard, University Occupational ;Health Director Kenneth Schatzle said ;yesterday. The tests, performed late last week, s revealed only a small trace of asbestos in a part of the third floor. That sample revealed one one-hundredth of a fiber per cubic centimeter in the air. Two fibers per cubic centimeter is con- sidered safe by government standards. SCHATZLE SAID the tiny amount of asbestos found indicates that the clean- up effor was effective. Workers wet the iasbestos and removed it with a specially-equipped vacuum, he said. University employees who work in Lorch Hall became concerned several aweeks ago when they learned that iasbestos from pipe insulation had been ;released during renovation of the ;building. bdGarry Fleming, assistant project representative for the Center for Afroamerican Studies, said he and other Lorch employees were upset "because they were not informed of the presence of asbestos until after the in- Sulation was removed. Fleming said he was pleased with the results released yesterday. "If the #esults were close or well over the un- afe mark, I definitely would be unhap- py and would make sure that more tests 'would continue," he said. + The building was first tested in November after the asbestos-laden pipe insulation was removed. Nearly one fiber per cubic centimeter of air was found in some of those tests. Although that level is only half the legal limit, it was high enough to concern many em- aployees. Schatzle said the University might conduct further tests for asbestos if it is found in on-going construction in the building. A state health inspector is ex- pected to visit Lorch Hall this morning to verify that there is no remaining Manger. Asbestos was recently removed from the pipes inthe system of steam tunnels which heats the University. Plastic bags filled with the removed asbestos were stacked in various locations ;round campus for several days, prompting several students to wonder if bags posed a health hazard. University officials said the asbestos was not dangerous and all of the bags were eventually. sent to a hazardous waste dump in Wayne County.

The march, sponsored by the Second Baptist church of Ann Arbor, com- memorated King's birthday, which is today. "Dr. King was a non-violent man, and I am walking because I think he helped people to get our freedom. This is to help people remember," said 11- year-old Vincent Williams of Ypsilanti. Children marched alongside adults, many of whom credited King with giving them the inspiration to achieve goals their ancestors would never have dreamed of. Former state senator Dr. Edward Pierce of Ann Arbor said he was mar- ching because "I feel like part of the group." PIERCE SAID the civil rights movement spurred him to open the Summit Medical Center in 1967 to provide medical care for low-income families in the area. Pierce, a candidate in the upcoming mayoral election, said, "I wish everybody in town would be here." Dave Robinson, a University ad- missions officer who was participating in his first unity walk, said: "I can't say enough about (King). He's my leader. I've received so much inspiraton and encouragement from him. He . planted a seed of hope in so many of us, and we can't assess the contribution he made toward human relations in general." Robinson's sentiments were echoed in the church program which followed the march. About 200 people par- ticipated in the tribute to the man who the Rev. Emmett Green, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, called a "drum major for justice." KING THE grandson of a share- cropper, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his efforts in organizing the civil rights movement and championing the cause of inter-racial cooperation in the United States and human rights around the world. "Anyone who can remember a day when a black person couldn't try on clothes in a store because no white per- son would try them on after a nigger had, knows what Martin did for us," University sociology Prof. Aldon Morris told the crowd. "And don't let anybody tell you there's no (civil rights) movement today. We are still on the move," said Morris who characterized the current movement as "oppressed." "BUT LOOK across the country at the protest being directed at South Africa. That's the same movement of the slaves and the 1920s and thirties and forties and fifties and sixties," he ad- ded. Alluding to his personal feelings of gratitude toward King, Morris said, "without the movement I would not be standing here today as Dr. Morris." Morris added that activists today must work to improve the living stan- dards of all blacks. "We must confront racist America in terms of economics in as vigorous a sense that we deman- ded Jim Crow be put in his grave," he said. "HE WAS only concerned with what kind of heart you had," Morris said. "But he realized that with the vast resources of the church he could turn mountains of oppression upside down." Those same "vast resources" of the black church helped the Rev. Jesse Jackson in his campaign for the presidential nomination last year and in his revitalization of King's legacy, Morris added. In an address entitled "Martin Luther King and his personal vision for World Peace," University political science Prof. Ernest Wilson said, "King's vision of the indivisibility of the fight against oppression" led to what he called "widespread condemnation (of King) during his life," and perhaps ironically even his fatal shooting in April, 1968. Tom Fleming, a teacher at the Washtenaw Juvenile Detention Center who participated in the program, said "I march for the children. I explain that Dr. King worked most of his life, while he wassnot in jail to raise con- sciousness. "So they might have slain the dreamer, but we're here to continue to keep the dream alive."

Suicide pill campaign ends (Continued from Page 1) awareness of the issue. that was our true goal, and I think we accomplished that," she added. Mysliwiec said the proposal might have failed to gain widespread support because some students saw it as a media event. "Those are the ones who never read beyond the first line," she said. "There was also a basic problem with people understanding the analogy 'bombs equal suicide.'" "WE WERE never advocating sucide," she added. Scott Page, MSA president, said he was surprised at what SANS had ac- complished, "not because of who they were or because of a lack of determination." He said the group's limited success was probably due to the problem of "getting people to see beyond the suicide issue. "If I had to put money down I don't know that I would have bet they would go this far. But they brought in Jason Salzman (the originator of the idea at Brown) and students did question the issue," Page said. Now many of the 12 SANS members are turning their efforts toward other anti-nuclear projects. Mysliwiec plans to participate in the Ann Arbor Peace Community and continue research on the city's plans for dealing with a nuclear war. "A formal statement of disbandment A great way of life.
