The couple, on a U.S. tour to mark the 200 year anniversary of relations bet- ween the Netherlands and America, stopped in Ann Arbor on the way to Grand Rapids from Detroit. ARRIVING slightly behind schedule, the Queen and her husband were greeted at the University president's residence by Vice President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye, who represented the University in President Harold Shapiro's absence. The group then walked next door for the 2-hour invitation-only official recep- tion at the Clements library. Before greeting each of the more than 150 guests, the Queen addressed the crowd, praising the University's Dutch programs. "You continue to give American students an opportunity to broaden their horizons by learning what our country may have to offer in literature, culture, and its social system," she said. THE QUEEN then exchanged gifts with various officials. She presented Frye with an etching more than 150 years old depicting the first U.S. ship to enter Amsterdam harbor. State Rep.-Perry Bullard (D-Ann Ar- bor) presented the Queen with a resolution commemorating her visit to the state. University Regent Sarah Power (D- Ann Arbor) presented the couple with a young white cedar tree - one of six that are being sent to the Netherlands on behalf of the University - "asa symbol of the bonds of friendship and academic endeavor between the University of Michigan and the Dutch people." Addressing a possible new program to the University, Her Majesty said, "We are very pleased to learn that your university is considering the establishment of an interdisciplinary program in the Netherlandic Studies. Such a program would, of course, mean that the warm relations we celebrate in 1982 will be even closer and more fruit- ful in generations to come."

OF THE ORIGINAL 16, five have died from burn- related complications since the airlift began, accor- ding to Joe Owsley, director of the Univesity's Depar- tment of Health Sciences Relations. The June 21 explosion and subsequent fire is blamed on torrential rains, which caused a portion of the building's roof to collapse and rupture a pipe con- taining liquid petroleum gas. The following day, Johnson Wax's medical direc- tor, Dr. Richard Stewart, contacted University Burn Center physician Dr. Irving Feller. Both im- mediately left for Nigeria, where they examined the workers and recommended the airlift to Ann Arbor. "NIGERIA DOESN'T have any burn .facilities," said Owsleyradding that although burn centers, located in Europe were contacted, they could not ac- commodate the victims. Two of the victims died during the 12-hour flight from Nigeria to Detroit Metro Airport in a specially equipped DC-10. All were flown from Metro Airport to Fuller-Mitchell field aboard U.S. Air Force helicopters. Although most were described as young and in good physical condition, Owsley said "the problem was they went five days without treatment." THREE VICTIMS remain in serious condition and one is classified as critical. Owsley said two victims will be transferred to Chelsea Community Hospital sometime today to join two others who are un- dergoing the rehabilitative stages of therapy. Owsley said Nigerian student groups at Eastern Michigan Usiversity and at the University have volunteered to assist burn victims with language dif- ficulties, writing letters home, and in offering com- panionship. He said he is "impressed" with response from University Hospital employees who reported for work-in many cases without pay-when they lear- ned of the evacuation plan. According to Owsley, the staif had lessthan24'hours notice to prepare for the victim's arrival.
