fill 'U' regental seatl
Newspaper publisher Philip
Power, husband of former Univ-
ersity Regent Sarah Goddard Power,
may take over his wife's seat on the
University's governing board, a
local newspaper reported Saturday.
According to the Ann Arbor
News, State Rep. Perry Bullard (D-
Ann Arbor) said "I think it is
widely felt that if Phil Power wants
it, it's his," Bullard said. "But peo-
ple aren't sure if he wants it.
Neither Power or Bullard could
be reached for comment.
. Sarah Power died March 24 after
she pushed herself off the Burton
Memorial Tower.

month.

Man kills family, self
COLOGNE, West Germany
(AP) - A computer programmer,
apparently reacting to family prob -
lems, shot and killed five family
members in different locations and
then committed suicide, police said
yesterday.
The man was not identified. Pol -
ice said the killings began on Sat -
urday, when he shot his wife, then
his pregnant daughter and her 3-
year-old son.
Early yesterday, the man drove
to his mother's house and shot her
to death. His mother-in-law was al -
so found dead, her body in the trunk,
of his car.
Cologne's chief homicide in-
spector, Reinhard Fischer, said the
man left two letters - one saying
he felt overcome with growing fam -
ily troubles and did not want to
leave the relatives to deal with the
problems alone.

Nurses intend to strike
IN BRIEF
Compiled from Associated Press reports
Israel, guerillas trade blows
MENARA, Israel - Palestinian guerrillas on a hostage-taking mis -
sion sneaked into northern Israel and killed two soldiers yesterday before
being slain in the bloodiest infiltration in seven years, the army said.
Hours later, two Israeli helicopter gunships rocketed a Palestinian
refugee camp on the outskirts of the south Lebanon port of Tyre, police
said. It was the first such attack since Israel's 1982 invasion.
The army said the strife was linked to a scheduled meeting in Algeria
today of Palestinian leaders to map out a new political and military stra -
tegy against Israel.
During a 14-hour battle Saturday in southern Lebanon, Israeli troops
killed 18 Iranian-backed Shiite Moslem fighters in the most violent
clash since Israel withdrew the bulk of its troops from Lebanon in June
1985.
Infant mortality highest in
Black counties, study says
DETROIT - A state panel studying ways to reduce Michigan's high
infant mortality rate will recommend that priority be given to 13 coun -
ties where 98 percent of black infant deaths have occurred, a newspaper
reported yesterday.
The Task Force on Infant Mortality will recommend in its final report
in May that public health efforts be focused on areas with poor black
populations, the Detroit Free Press reported.
Only nine states and the District of Columbia had higher infant mor -
tality rates than Michigan in 1984, the last year for which comparative
statistics are available.
The task force concluded the data "strongly suggests that the fund -
amental problem is not race per se, but the education and economic dep - }
rivation that afflicts black and other minority groups disproportionately."
Expert urges population curb
WASHINGTON - More than a billion more people are expected on
Earth in the coming decade, an increase that could pose catastrophic con -
sequences unless action is taken to reduce births, a leading population re-
searcher warns.
"If we don't come to grps with this problem we'll face a world in tur -
moil," said Werner Fornos, president of The Population Institute, in is
suing a "Blueprint for World Population Stabilization."
His warning comes soon after a separate group, the Population Ref -
erence Bureau, reported that worldwide births have begun increasing
again, after a brief period of decline.
Fornos' study was released yesterday to mark the start of World Pop -
ulation Awareness Week, an effort to bring the problem to public atten
tion.
Power failure strikes Manila!
MANILA, Philippines - A power failure yesterday darkened Manila
and much of the island of Luzon, affecting millions of homes and bus -
inesses and prompting increased security around the presidential com -
pound.
A spokesman for the National Power Corporation blamed it on line;.
trouble, but an engineer said that couldn't be determined until power '
was completely restored, probably by early today. The outage occurred
about sunset.
It was the worst power outage in the Philippines since Aug. 21,
1986, the third anniversary of the assassination of President Corazon
Aquino's husband, Benigno Aquino, a leading opponent of then-Pres -X
ident Marcos.

intent to strike," said Margo Barron
chief negotiator and PNC chair. She
said the nurses' union intends to
strike, starting April 29, "because
there has been little, if any,
progress in negotiations."

Barron said the proposals center
around an attempt to get the work
force of nurses equal to the work
load. Retention of nurses is low,
which has resulted in an increased
burden for nurses, according to the
PNC.
The hospitals have approx-
'imately 1,260 nursing spots, and
about 180 of them are vacant.
The University has hired 49 new
nurses this year, making the
number of nurses employed by the
hospitals the highest ever, but there
is still a need for increased staffing
because demand for services has
also increased, according to Turck.
This shortage of nurses has
recently forced the hospital to close
temporarily 46 beds. The hospital
is licensed to operate 888 beds, and
until now it has been operating
875.
Nationwide, hospitals have been
feeling the burden of a nurse
shortage. Fewer nurses are being
employed in hospitals because of
increased career opportunities, und-
esirable work conditions, increased
job stress. Enrollment in nursing
schools nationwide has dropped 8
percent.
James River
begins receding
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The
James River began slowly receding
yesterday after inundating one-and-a-
half square miles of the city at near -
ly 16 feet above flood stage, and
merchants were allowed back into a
low-lying area of restored down -
town businesses.
William Costin, chief of emer -
gency communications for the De -
partment of Public Safety, said
damage couldn't be estimated until
after the water fully recedes.
Officials credited a network of
pumps with helping prevent dam -
age beyond the commercial area.

Ape enjoys egg-celent Easter
CHICAGO (AP) - Batu the orangutan could sub for the Easter
bunny - given her talents at decorating eggs.
About 50 children and adults watched Friday at the Lincoln Park Zoo
as the year-old primate dropped about two-and-a-half hard-boiled eggs into
mugs filled with pink, blue and yellow vegetable dye.
"They were really surprised, especially when she put them in her,
mouth afterward," said zoo spokesperson Melissa McHenry.
Zoo keeper Pat Sass held the dexterous, 25-pound ape in her lap while
Batu decorated the eggs, used in an Easter egg hunt for the zoo's'
chimpanzees yesterday.
Hard-boiled eggs are a delicacy for chimpanzees, said another
spokesperson, Pat Lovett.
Egg decorating is not the only talent Batu has demonstrated since she
was born at the zoo in April, 1986, Lovett said.
The copper-colored ape was photographed answering the zoo telephone
as part of an April Fool's Day joke, she said.
Dr. Lester Fisher, a veterinarian and the zoo's director, said Batu's
dexterity is all the more unusual because of her age.
"She's like a toddler in human terms," he said.
