AS A VAILABLE AS A PIZZA
City'speed'market active

By ELIZABETH SCOTT
It's Sunday afternoon. The phone
rings. * * *
3:00
"Hello?"
"Hello, Lizzie? David. Listen, I've
got a Chinese midterm tomorrow mor-
ning and 100 characters to memorize
until then. Got any speed?"
"Well ... no - but my friend
might."
"I need it by tonight."
"That's cutting it pretty close. I'll see
what -"
"Call me back in 15 minutes. See
what you can do." David abruptly
hangs up.

"Hello?"
"Annie? It's Lizzie. Listen, got any
speed?"
"How many hits?"
"One's good. But Annie, I need it by
tonight."
"Jesus! All I've got now is what I'm
using for a Chinese midterm tomorrow.
I have to memorize over 100 charac-
ters."
"Yeah, I know how it is."
- "Let me call you back in a few
minutes to see what I can find.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's Annie, Lizzie. Got you a hit.
75 cents for a Black Beauty. Come by
in around a half hour to get it."
"It's not for me. It's for a friend,
David. Is it all right if he comes
around?"
"Sure. See you in history lecture."
"Thanks, Annie."
In forty minutes, David got his speed.
In 18 hours, he got a B-plus on his mid-
term after studying all night because
his eyes wouldn't close and let him
sleep.
"Speed" refers to any pill, capsule, or
powder, comprised of one or any com-
bination of amphetamines, caffeine and
a variety of chemical additives.

IN ANN ARBOR, because it is a relat-
ively large town, and because of its
hospital, but especially because of the
students at the University of
Michigan, speed's accessibility is as
wide-spread as its large demand.
Students rely on speed to help them
keep up with their studies. While over-
the-counter drugs such as No-Doz are
sold to prevent drowsiness, speed is
more popular among students.
One reason is that speed is the "in"
thing to do. Bought from a dealer, it's
sneaky and therefore exciting. Speed
also causes significant weight loss, and
in an era when "thin is in," people,

Testimony
given on
Leo Kelly's
mental
state
By GEORGE ADAMS
Leo Kelly "had a severe
psychological break, and was not in
control of his actions" at the time of the
April 17, 1981 Bursley murders he is ac-
cused of committing, a professor of
psychiatry from Michigan State
University testified yesterday.
Dr. Thomas Gunnings, a clinical
psychologist and MSU professor, told
jurors that, based on the examinations
he gave Kelly last October at the
request of Kelly's attorney= "I reached
the conclusion that the client (Kelly)
was suffering from schizophrenia of the
paranoid type and he was not able to
judge right from wrong or stop his ac-
tions."
KELLY, 23, is accused of the shooting
deaths of his fellow University students
Douglas McGreahan, 21, and Edward
Siwik, 19.
Gunnings said he believed that Kelly
truly could not remember the events
surrounding the shooting, as Kelly had
testified.
"He made a bonafide effort, almost a
struggle, to recall events, but could
not," Gunnings said. "I thought it was
authentic amnesia."
GUNNINGS SAID he discovered af-
ter his examination that Kelly had long
suffered from nightmares, which
revealed 'a fear of destruction, of
being killed." The nightmares, accor-
ding to Gunnings, featured people
