'13 staidiu sitter squats to success in four~day marathon By CHARLIE SEWELL Ninety-six hours and twelve minutes after he began Sunday afternoon, Jim Purol sat in the last of 101,701 seats in the Michigan Football Stadium. "Monotony was the most difficult thing about it," said Purol shortly after completing the stunt yesterday after- noon. The sitting marathon raised nearly $3,500 for the American Lung Association, according to Purol's press agent. Purol has now performed a total of 10 stunts to benefit a variety, of charities. IN HIS four days in the stadium, Purol slept only five and a half hours. He said Wednesday's thunderstorms came as a welcome relief from the heat. During the day he had to be coated with suntan lotion and sprayed down with water periodically. Despite the lack of sleep and a little stiffness in his legs and shoulders, Purol said he felt good. To help him per- form the stunt he stuffed a pad into the seat of his pants and used specially designed hand held tools to protect his hands from blistering as he moved * along the stadium benches. "I've been working out for about eight months. I haven't got the biggest arms, but I had enough to make it," he said. As he drove out of the stadium parking lot at 2:45 p.m. yesterday af- ternoon, Purol was on his way to a 4 p.m. appearance on television's "Good Afternoon Detroit". "I'm running on adrenalin right now," he said. "Tonight I'll sleep." But Purol has little time for rest. Tonight he performs his nightly comedy musical act at a Detroit night- club where he is known as Jim Mouth, a name he earned by performing such The Michigan Daily - Friday, June 15 1984- Page 5 No chance An unidentified workman walks a picket line yesterday outside the construction site of the Nectarine Ballroom on Liberty Street, a dance clubwhich will replace the Second Chance. feats as smoking 140 cigarettes for five minutes and puffing on 40 cigars for a similar period of time. Mouth hopes the Guiness Book of World Records will publish his newest record and create a new category he calls "stadium sitting." Presently he holds five Guiness records and five un- published records which the publishers of the record book say are too ridiculous to be published. Mouth cited several unusual records which do appear in the book, making the publishers' use of the term ridiculous seem contradictory. "I told (the publishers) I was the self- proclaimed world's record holder of the most world records and they told me I couldn't do that. Who do they think they are?" Purol joked during his marathon.

"You didn't pick this gentleman, did you?" he asked. "No," she said. One problem in the trial is the absen- ce of Faber's husband, who is on a trial begins three-week tour of the Soviet Union. Judge Campbell would not allow Mackie to use Faber's testimony from the Pearson trial because he said the defendant has a right to face his ac- cuser. Mackie said the problem will be solved by phoning Faber in the Soviet Union, although Mackie said neither he nor anyone he knew had spoken directly to Faber.
