Pagey2 TheMichigan Daily -Tuesday, April 16, 1985 Student demands restitution for bike wheel, IN BRIEF (Continued from Page 1) Homyak said that members of the fraternity who were present apologized for the incident. They said the pledge class had been in charge of building the cart for the race. THE MEMBERS said that the fraternity would foot the bill for the wheels and told the owners to get in touch with the fraternity officers the following week, he said. Although the fraternity members promised payment for the tires, Homyak and the other two owners said they are encountering more difficulty than they had anticipated in getting their money back. One of the unidentified owners went to Sigma Chi on the Monday ;following: the theft. "They assured me they're going to pay but I don't think that's going to happen," he said. "Well, they'll have to pay - we have the evidence." HE SAID he regreted that he hadn't filed a police report earlier and that he is planning to attend Homyak's hearing. Homyak said that a friend of his, who lives in South Quad and is a member of the fraternity, advised them to get estimates for their wheels so that they could receive payment. Homyak said that because his bike was an older model, his estimate for the rim, tire, inner tube, and labor totals $46.22. The other two estimates are $19.50 each, one It's really ironic that for the Share the Spirit week they had to steal someone's stuff so they could give money for charity. - David Homyak LSA sophomore THE 1985 HOPWOOD AWARDS The Kasdan Scholarship in Creative Writing The Jeffrey L.

Although Homyak said he has sub- mitted two bills so far, he said he hasn't received payment yet. The other two owners have also turned in their bills, and have not received compensation. HOMYAK SAID he was told that fie would receive $10 for his rim because fraternity President Andy Cooke wasn't satisfied with the original estimate. "I'd like to know where I could get a rim for $10," Homyak said. Despite repeated attempts, Cooke could not be reached for comment. A Sigma Chi member in charge of the pledge class, who asked that his name be withheld, explained why the owners haven't received compensation yet. ALTHOUGH he admitted that the pledge class did take the tires for the cart and were consequently repriman- ded, he said the fraternity is only responsible for two of the three stolen wheels. He said the other two wheels used on the cart belonged to members of the house. The Sigma Chi officer said that they were unhappy with the estimates because they never got to see the damaged property after the owners claimed their tires. He said he suspects that only the rims were damaged and that the fraternity should not be charged for the tires or inner tubes because they weren't originally damaged, he said. The officer said that the fraternity would pay for two of the rims. "We just. want to see the property," he said. He also said that the pledge class would have returned the wheels to their owners after the race. The hearing for Homyak's suit in small claims court is scheduled for May 1, according to Homyak. "It's really ironic that for the Share the Spirit Week they had to steal someone's stuff so they could give money for charity," Homyak said. NEED ADVERTISING EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR RESUME?.

Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Reagan begins Contra aid blitz WASHINGTON-President Reagan began one of the toughest selling jobs of his presidency yesterday and exhorted Congress to "act quickly and responsibility" to approve $14 million in aid to Nicaraguan rebels or risk U.S. prestige and credibility. Reagan echoed the theme of his successful campaign last month for the MX missile in asking Congress to again close ranks behind his foreign policy to demonstrate U.S. unity and resolve. "I'm asking Congress to join me in the bipartisan spirit so essential to our. security by providing this small amount-$14 million-for the more than 15,000 Nicaraguans who are struggling for democracy," Reagan said:. "It's so little," he added, "yet such an important symbol of our resolve-a signal to all of Central American and, yet, to those everywhere in the world who depend on us" The appeal came as Reagan plunged into a round of public appearances and White House meetings intended to spotlight his offer to provide the rebel Contras with only food, clothing, and medical supplies if the Nicaraguan government agrees to a cease-fire and peace talks with its opposition. Prisoners hold 20 hostages ODENVILLE, Ala.-Inmates took control of a section of a state prisoir yesterday, holding the warden and at least 20 others hostage after seizing guns and beating two people unconscious, authorities said. Six people were wounded, including five employees and one inmate who was shot, officials said. Shots were fired when up to 200 inmates took over a central records office at the 1,000-prisoner St. Clair County Correctional Facility yesterday mor- ning, initially trapping about 40 guards and employees, officials said. Some employees were able to get out, but Warden Larry Spears and 20 to 25 others, including at least six women, were trapped, said John Hale, the prison system information officer. The inmates demanded changes in operations at the medium-and- maximum-security facility, and negotiations were being conducted, said Billy Joe Camp, press secretary to Gov. George Wallace. After being captured, the warden was seen at a distance and appeared bruised but able to walk, said officials at the prison, located about 25 miles east of Birmingham. Court to rule on affirmative action WASHINGTON-The Supreme Court agreed yesterday to decide whether public employers acting under union contracts may protect black workersby first laying off whites with more seniority. . The court's decision in a case from Jackson, Mich., could tell how far public employers' "affirmative action" plans may go before running afoul of the Constitution's equal-protection guarantees. The justices also said they will decide in a case from Renton, Wash., what authority communities have to restrict the location of adult movie theaters-and whether cities, counties, and villages nationwde may use zoning laws to restrict the locations of new adult theaters. And the court said it will consider reviving key provisions of a Pen-. nsylvania abortion control law, struck down by a federal appeals court as unduly interfering with women's right to end their pregnancies. The abortion case does not appear to present any sweeping issues. Pen- nsylvania's appeal did not challenge the court's landmark 1973 ruling that legalized abortion, but instead focused on the validity of certain procedures and notification required by the state law. Drs. must treat handicapped infants unless death inevitable WASHINGTON-The Reagan administration ordered doctors and hospitals yesterday to provide medically necessary treatment for severely handicapped "Baby Doe" infants except in cases where death appears inevitable. The Department of Health and Human Services released a final regulation covering the so-called "Baby Doe" cases, in which infants with severe or multiple handicaps might be denied necessary medical treatment and allowed to die. The regulations, which drew more than 116,000 comments from the public and special interest groups, specify only three cases in which doctors are. justified in withholding medical treatment: ,When the infant is chronically and irreversibly comatose. ,When treatment merely prolongs an inevitable death. . ,When treatment is so extreme and so likely to be futile that it bcomes unhumane to administer it.

Astronauts Jeffrey Hoffman and David Griggs put on space helmets for an hour to breathe pure oxygen, beginning the process of purging nitrogen from their system for a space walk today during which they will clamp the device on to the shuttle arm. Rescue day is tomorrow when Discovery will close the 40-mile distance with the satellite and extend its arm-flyswatter combination to try to snag a four-inch lever on the side of the huge revolving satellite. The lever is an on-off switch for electrical power to the satellite that was supposed to flip outward automatically when the astronauts deployed the satellite Saturday. By pulling it, engineers hope to begin the electrical sequence to restore the satellite to its proper working condition.
