High court. won't
increased Detroit
WASHINGTON (UPI) - The,
Supreme 'Court yesterday refused to
stand in the way of possible expansion
of school busing in Detroit.
In another decision, the high court
refused on a 5-4 vote to bar federal drug
agents from stopping and questioning
airline passengers who fita checklist of
typical drug courier behavior.
IN DETROIT, the school board had
asked the justices for a stay of an ap-
peals court order that may require ad-
ditional busing, on grounds that further
pupil transportation will only achieve
"token busing" because the city's
school system is 86 per cent black and
would involve only 3,000 children.
Also, they contended more busing
will cost at least $1.7 million' for ad-
ditional buses and drivers' salaries.
But the justices refused to grant the
stay and lifted their previous con-
tinuation of a stay of the Sixth U.S. Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals ruling. The action
clears the way for further consideration
of the issue by the district court.
IN THE APRIL 14 ruling, the appeals
court said U.S. District Judge Robert
DeMascio in Detroit, who is supervising
the city's desegregation plan, erred in
excluding three regional school distric-
ts from the busing plan that stemmed
from a 1979 suit.
DeMascio said the present racial
ratios in the schools and shifts in
population make impractical further
desegregation in the three regions
which have about 83,000 students.
In asking for a stay, the school board
said the appeals court order conflicts
with previous high court rulings that
desegregation may only be ordered to
remedy constitutional violations.

Ross said.
According to Kubler-Ross, patients
use three different "languages" to let
people know they are aware that they
are dying. "They give you 'cues:' for
example, a friend might tell the patient
he'll return to see her at Christmas, and
the patient will try and give him a
present right now," she said. "She is
trying to tell you that she knows she
might not be around by Christmas
... the important thing is to be honest
with the dying person and accept the
gift."
The other two "languages' used by
the dying patient are "symbolic"
languages, verbal and non-verbal. "If
you learn 'symbolic' language, you will
never again have to wonder what you
can do for your fellow man," Kubler-
Ross advised the audience.
The medical profession should take a
"wholistic" approach to the patient,
Kubler-Ross said. The patient's
physical needs must be taken care of
first. You can't give someone spiritual
guidance when they are climbing the
walls in pain," she said. Kubler-Ross
also mentioned doctors often develop
"tunnel vision" regarding their patien-
ts.
