High court upholds draft-aid link

Z

By PETE WILLIAMS
It is not unconstitutional to deny
federal financial aid to male college
students who fail to register for the
draft, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a
6-2 decision yesterday.
The justices ruled against six Min-
nesota college students who challenged
the law last year, overturning a ruling
by U.S. District Judge Donald Alsop
that deemed the law an impermissible
form of punishment.
IN ANN ARBOR, University
Assistant Director of Financial Aid
Lynn Borset said that the high court
opinion would have little affect on
current policy.

Reagan.
hails auto
industry
By DAVID VANKER
Special to the Daily
LAKE ORION - In his first visit to the Detroit area
since he won the Republican nomination for president
in August, 1980, President Reagan yesterday credited
his administration with having found "a real
economic cure" rather than "another political quick
fix" for the American economy.
Speaking to nearly 2,000 autoworkers at the
dedication of an automated General Motors plant in
Orion Township, the President hailed the United Auto
Workers union for its cooperation with management
during years-of "severe economic stress."
"YOU'VE DEMONSTRATED...what people can
accomplish working together freely, rather than at
the dictates of some central planner or bureaucratic
mandate," Reagan said.'

Heart patient has rejection signs

By GEORGEA KOVANIS
The two-year-old Detroit girl who received a heart tran-
splant last month at the University's C.S. Mott Children's
Hospital is showing signs of organ rejection, a hospital
spokesman said yesterday.
According to hospital spokesman John Woodford, the girl
- the nation's youngest heart recipient - was moved from
her private room back to the hospital's intensive care unit
late Tuesday.
THE GIRL had been moved from intensive care to a
private room last week.
Doctors are strengthening her anti-rejection treatments,
Woodford said.
"All they can do is treat it and wait and see what happens
next," Woodford said. "This is not unexpected," he said ad-
ding "they expect the body to do this from time to time.
"I WOULDN'T necessarily call it a setback but it's cer-
tainly a problem, a difficulty," he said. "It's certainly a set-
back from the ideal."
According to Woodford, the girl's prognosis is "doubtful."

She is in serious condition.
The girl, whose identity has been withheld at the request of
her parents, made medical history June 20 when she received
the heart of a three-year-old central Michigan boy who had
been stricken with menengitis three days earlier. The boy
suffered from irreversible brain damage and had been
declared clinically and legally brain dead. The operation
took six hours.
THE GIRL suffers from cardiomyopathy, a progressive
disease that gradually deprives the heart of the power to
beat. Patients afflicted with this disease usually die within
two years. Doctors had told the girl's family that she would
probably not leave the hospital alive unless she received a
heart transplant.
The donor's father said the boy was to special to simply
bury the body.
"Sean had too much potential and was too full of love and
life to simply by put in the ground," he said in a statement
released this week by the hospital. The family does not wish
to have their name released.
