STUDiES POOR VENTILATION Researcher works on small area air flow IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press reports By DAVID SCHWARTZ The dangers of working in a poorly ventilated area have prompted a University professor to study possible methods of removing bxygen deficiency from small, cramped rooms. Prof. Richard Garrison is ;currently researching ways to better .ventilate spaces with only one small opening that provides both ventilation and entrance to the area including coal mines, storage tanks, underground piping, or the wing of an airplane. Garrison stressed that the study focuses only on v e n tilation problems in confined spaces. "Ideally, you wouldn't have a space with just one opening," he said,cbecause someoneeworkingin a confined space is frequently alone and may not be able to .signal anyone else if the oxygen supply, falters. Part of Garrison's research involves devising systems to notify a factory control room if an oxygen problem arises there. Also, Garrison hopes to find a method that would allow a monitor in a control room to activate a ventilation system that would return the oxygen level to normal if a problem occurs. Every year, about 200 to 300 people in the United States die from insufficient oxygen while working in confined spaces, said Garrison, a professor of industrial health in the School of Public Health. The National Institute for Occu- pational Safety and Health, part of the National Institutes of Health, is spending a total of about $225,000 to fund Garrison's three year project. In addition to problems of oxygen deficiency, one of the dangers of poorly ventilated rooms is that toxic material trapped there may also lead to respiratory problems. Part of Garrison's research involves looking at ways to remove harmful gases from confinedrspaces while replacing them with normal air. Garrison hopes his research will be useful in the construction of new factories and buildings. "I'm trying to put together information that can be useful to (anyone) designing ventilation systems," he said. Upon completing his current research, Garrison plans to help Ford Motor Co. design better ventilation systems for storage tanks and under- ground piping systems.

"The camera's 10 feet away and all these people are watching, but you have to forget they're there," Tittsworth said. He added that he recalled his own high school experiences to play the role auihen- tically. a senior at Michigan State Uni- versity; they came in second place. "I'm a dancer first, and acting comes second," Tittsworth said. Curry said though she has always had an interest in acting, the audition for the movie was her first attempt in the field. "I was very excited," she said. "For now, I want to pursue my School AIDS testing proposed LONDON - U.S. Surgeon General Everett Koop said yesterday he wanted to screen every student of a major American university this spring to help determine the incidence of AIDS among young adults. Koop also proposed similar mass AIDS screening at a few high schools in the United States, but said the government had made no decision on either proposal. The three-day conference, attended by health ministers from 114 countries and senior public-health officials from 34 others, adopted a declaration backing the World Health Organization's global strategy on AIDS control and prevention. Savings rate hits 40 year low WASHINGTON - Americans' after-tax incomes grew a sluggish 1.2 percent last year, the poorest showing since the last recession, while their savings rate fell to a 40-year low, the government reported yesterday. Economists expressed concerns that these weak showings would lead to a further slowdown in consumer spending and raise the possibility of a recession this year. The Commerce Department report showed consumer spending, after adjusting for inflation, rose just 1.8 percent last year, less than half the growth rate of the precious two years. Since consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of overall 'economic activity, further weakness in this area, especially without offsetting strength in other sectors, would be enough to trigger a recession. The department's report pointed out the cracks that have begun to appear in the consumer-driven recovery, which has now lasted a peacetime record of more than five years. Robertson supporters call meetig, GOP head objects GRAND RAPIDS - The head of the Michigan GOP yesterday urged party members to stay away from a Republican State Committee meeting called by disgruntled conservatives on the eve of the state convention. The conservatives, mainly supporters of former television evangelist Pat Robertson, called the meeting after backers of New York. Congressman Jack Kemp joined supporters of Vice President George Bush, upsetting the balance of power. That alignment gives Bush control of the two-day state convention, which begins today and where the nation's first 77 presidential delegates will be parceled out this weekend. The agreement between Bush and Kemp calls for the vice president to get about 35 of the delegates, with Kemp finishing a close second with 30. Robertson - who once estimated he'd get up to 44 of the state's delegates- will be left with 12, and Kansas Sen. Bob Dole might be able to grab a few of those. Polygamist clan kills officer MARION, Utah - Gunfire bursts ended a tense, 13-day standoff yesterday between a polygamist clan and police, killing an officer and seriously wounding the group's ringleader who was suspected of bombing a Mormon chapel. The shooting erupted just after dawn as police .who had secretly infiltrated the clan's compound used a trained dog to try to isolate Addam Swapp and his brother fron the log house they had left moments before, officials said. "It's my understanding that the officer was fired upon first, by whom we don't know yet," said John Nielsen, state public safety director. He said an FBI agent was shot in the chest, but was unhurt because he was wearing a bulletproof vest. 4 They each were paid $200 per day academics." 29919 Northwestern Southfield.

WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) - Raymond and Debbie Sattler say their two 400-pound pigs are just pampered pets, but their neighbors in a fashionable neighborhood say a hog is still a hog, even if it wears Giorgio perfume. The neurosurgeon and his wife moved to Wilmington three weeks ago, along with Ellie May. and Amy Lou, their pet pigs. Last weekend, neighbors say, the Sattlers put leashes on the porkers and walked them around the neighborhood. By Wednesday, faced with mounting opposition, the couple had placed a "For Sale" sign in their front yard, saying they did not want to fight the neighborhood over their pets. "As far as the people are concerned, we have no objections. It's the hogs we want out," one neighbor, W.K. Dorsey, said Wednesday. "This will cause lower prices of property in this area." In recent discussions with city officials, the Sattlers referred to their pigs as "girls" and described how they spray Giorgio perfume on them.
