I Crash survivor to leave hospital soon By DAVID SCHWARTZ Cecelia Cichan, the lone survivor of the crash of Northwest Flight 255, remains in good condition at the rehabilitation unit of the University Medical Center. A hospital spokesperson said she is expected to be released within one or two weeks. The exact date of Cecelia's release has not yet been set, said Public Relations Spokesperson Michael Harrison. She has been at the Uni- versity Medical Center since the crash of the Northwest jet on August 16 which killed 156 people, includ- ing her parents and 6-year-old brother. Cecelia, 4, of Tempe, Ariz., will live with her aunt and uncle in Al- abama upon her release from the hospital. She is continuing to meet with social workers in addition to doctors, Harrison said. The meetings with psychologists "started even before she got to the rehabilitation center," he said. Harrison said that Cecelia has been taking routine walks around the hospital, occasionally using a walker. "For the most part, Cecelia is restricted to a wheelchair because of her broken leg," he said. Harrison said he receives about 15 phone calls a day from media throughout the country asking about Cecelia's condition. He said the ex- tensive coverage has presented prob- lems for Cecelia's family, w h o wants Cecelia to be able to lead a more private recovery. But, "The media has been very understanding when we tell them that the family wants its privacy," he said.

MSAreps. dis By ANDREW MILLS Michigan Student Assembly representatives, in an annual meeting with University President Harold Shapiro, questioned him about their concerns on a number of campus, and non- campus, issues. The assembly spent an hour at Shapiro's house getting his opinion on the proposed code of non-academic conduct, the housing problem, the recent controversy over a physical education class, and Allan Bloom's book, The Closing of the American Mind. LSA representative Michael Phillips pressed Shapiro repeatedly on the code, and said later to the assembly that, at the meeting, "You (the as- sembly) witnessed a man give us nothing," in reference to Shapiro's remarks on the code. Assembly Vice President Rebecca Felton was .cuss concerns with Shapiro "pleased that we had the opportunity (to meet with Shapiro), but there were no surprises (in his answers)." She mentioned that it is difficult for students to meet with Shapiro, and so this meeting was productive in the sense that it was "one more opportunity for students to talk to the president." After returning from the meeting with Shapiro, the assembly heard from the Interfrater- nity Council. IFC public relations chair Ricky Nemeroff pledged to attend all future assembly meetings to thwart what he saw as a "communication gap" between IFC and the as- sembly. Nemeroff also announced that IFC, in association with the Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center and other campus groups would be conducting sexual awareness workshops for fraternity members. These workshops are part of a sexual awareness week later this month that was announced last April. In other business, the assembly passed a reso- lution calling for the release of Salvador Ubau, a political prisoner in El Salvador. L S A representative David Newblatt abstained from voting on the resolution because he felt MSA should not get involved in non-campus issues. "I don't think its appropriate for MSA to consider matters... that don't pertain to student issues," he said. "There is a need to focus on campus issues. Our public profile depends on it' The assembly also passed a resolution which endorses the abolishing of a University policy which limits financial support of graduate stu- dents to 10 semesters. Cold Miser brings early chills to campus this fall By KATIE HUBERT The Cold Miser has come to pay a visit to Ann Arbor, and according to Atmospheric and Oceanic Sci- ences graduate student Chris Bedford, the little blue man may be settling in for a lengthy stay. "We might have snow before it warms up" later this week, Bedford warns. It is only October, and first-year LSA student Nancy Rosenblum does not find that a cheerful thought. "I'm from New York, and (this weather) is the worst. I just don't understand this." Rosenblum, however, is appar- ently unaware of the 20 inches of snow that fell on her home state on Monday. Meanwhile, out in the land of palm trees and sandy beaches, Californians are enjoying record- breaking 100 degree days. In the past, Ann Arbor, nestled in the mid- dle of these two extremes, has suf- fered much worse than the 48 degrees recorded yesterday. The record low for October 6 is 29 degrees set in 1935, so "it could actually be a lot worse than it is," Bedford explained. Mike Caulk, known to Diag fre- quenters as Preacher Mike, agrees with Bedford's optimism and adds, "It's never a bad day for the Lord!" Apparently unconcerned with God's opinion, geology graduate student George Elawal gripes, "I'm from the Middle East, and I wish I hadn't come here." Meteorologists are predicting temperatures to remain in the 40's for the next few days with a likeli- hood of rain and possible snow showers.
