Legendary hockey coach dies at 87
Five years ago this week (Oct. 5,
2006): Legendary Michigan hockey
coach Vic Heyliger, who led the Wol-
verines to six NCAA championships
throughout the 1940s and 1950s, died at
age 87.
Heyliger first came to the University
as a student in 1934 to play hockey. He
returned in 1944 to coach the Wolverines
and spent 13 seasonsbehind the bench.
"He set a standard at Michigan that
will probably never be equaled in terms
of national championships," current
Michigan hockey coach Red Berenson
said in a statement to The Michigan
Daily at the time. "That was a special
time in the history of Michigan hockey.
He really built Michigan hockey."
20 years ago this week (Oct. 4,1991):
Journalists at The Lantern, the student
newspaper at The Ohio State University,
went on strike after they felt the uni-
versity was threatening their editorial
freedom.
OSU's School of Journalism
announced a policy that would have
given the school's director or the news-
paper adviser the ability to prevent arti-
cles from being published if they felt the
piece was libelous.
"'We are fighting the principle of the
thing," Lantern Editorial Editor Melissa
Romig told the Daily at the time. "We
are worried that todaythey may be pull-
ing things deemed potentially libelous,
and tomorrow it could be anything that
makes a regent look bad. Once you start
taking rights away, it is very hard to get
those back."
To protest the policy, an edition of
The Lantern consisted of a single story
about the dispute, and the text of the
First Amendment was published several
times throughout the paper.
40 years ago this week (Oct. 5,1971):
The Senate Assembly, the University's
lead faculty governing body, endorsed
a plan to end most classified research at
the University.
A drafting committee was appointed
to write a formal proposal to submit
to the University's Board of Regents
for approval. According to the Sen-
ate Assembly plan, covert research
would only be justified when the study
"contribute(s) so significantly to the
advancement of knowledge."'
The proposal also banned research
with "the specific purpose or clearly
foreseeable result of which is to destroy
human life or to incapacitate human
beings."

ded a series of talks with On Sept. 22, the outgoing
in and the United States chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs
of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, said
the Haqqani network, which is
affiliated with the Taliban and
al-Qaida, "acts as a veritable arm"
of Pakistan's intelligence agency.
Mullen accused the Haqqani net-
work of staging an attack against
the U.S. Embassy and NATO
headquarters in Kabul and a
truck bombing that wounded 77
American soldiers last month.
He claimed Pakistan's spy agency
helped the group.
Karzai has followed by issuing
some of his strongest statements
yet against Pakistan.
On Saturday, Karzai released
a video of a meeting he held with
the nation's top religious leaders
in which he said he has given up
trying to talk to the Taliban and
demanded Pakistan prove that it
is working for peace.
Pakistan has denied any
involvement with insurgents or

Karzai's latest remarks come
ahead of a trip to India. The visit
had been planned weeks ago, but
its timing has draws attention
to Pakistan's worst fears that
Afghanistan will ally with India
and present Pakistan with two
hostile borders.
The Afghan president leaves
Tuesday for the two-day trip. He
is expected to meet with Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh and
sign documents' strengthening
relations. Karzai is also sched-
uled to give a speech at the
Observer Research Foundation, a
New Delhi think tank.

Civilian deaths have increased,
greatly in Afghanistan in recent

In the first blast, a motorcycle-
rickshaw packed with explosives
blew up, apparently prematurely,
on the outskirts of Kandahar city,
killing two civilians, officials
said.

ter said his car was nearby, sug-
gesting he may have been the

WAXAHACHIE, Texas (AP) -
A fire sparked as workers mixed
chemicals at a plant south of Dal-
las shot massive plumes of black
smoke and bright orange flames
into the sky yesterday, forcing
schoolchildren and residents to
evacuate or take cover indoors to
avoid possible exposure to dan-
gerous gases.
Flames engulfed a large com-
plex at a Magnablend Inc. facility
in Waxahachie. The fast-moving
blaze overwhelmed a sprinkler
system and consumed a fire truck,
but no injuries were reported from
the fire or resultingsmoke.
Waxahachie Fire Chief David
Hudgins said it wasn't immedi-
ately clear what chemicals were
involved in sparking the fire.
About 1,000 residents who had
been evacuated were allowed to
return to their homes early yes-
terday evening, said Waxahachie
Fire Department spokeswoman
Amy Hollywood. Waxahachie, 30
miles south of Dallas, has about
25,000 residents.
The blaze was 95 percent under
control by early yesterday eve-
ning, Hollywood said.
In a statement, the U.S. Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency
said it has monitored air quality
both on the ground and through
a specially equippned airplane
that made several passes through
the smoke plume caused by the
blaze and officials have not found
elevated levels of toxic chemicals.
The EPA said it "will continue to
conduct ground level air monitor-
ing."
Magnablend spokesman Don-
ald Golden told WFAA-TV that 25
to 30 employees who were inside
the plant's 100,000-square-foot
warehouse evacuated safely when
the fire broke out before 11 a.m.
Golden said the company manu-
factures about 200 products,
includingsome that are hazardous
when ignited.
Authorities had ordered r-esi-
dents closest to the plant to evacu-
ate, while others were advised to
stay inside with doors and win-
dows shut.
JesseniaColin,anassistantgen-
eral manager at a nearby Hamp-
ton Inn and Suites, said hotel staff
members turned off air vents so
smoke and chemicals didn't enter
the rooms. As they waited for
news and watched the smoke bil-
low, staff covered their mouths to
protect against the heavy chemi-
cal smell that hung in the air.
"It smells like a whole bunch
of chemicals, like wrappers burn-
ing," Colin said. "It's making
everyone's heads hurt."
Stephanie, Otto said she was
preparing her new restaurant for
a Tuesday opening about a quar-
ter-mile from the plant when she
heard sirens and walked outside
to see a "huge plume.' She said
she could hear what sounded like
gun shots for about 15 minutes,
and there was a strong smell of
ammonia.
"It was huge," Otto said. "It
looked like an atomic bomb went
off"
Ellis County emergency man-
agement officials had issued a
mandatory evacuation order for
an apartment complex, an elemen-
tary school and a junior college.
Sheriff's officials had urged resi-
dents not to drive toward the area
of the fire.
