The Michigan Daily -Tuesday, February 19, 1991 - Page 3 Bomb explodes 'in London tailway LONDON (AP) - A bomb ex- ploded at Victoria station during morning rush hour yesterday, 45 minutes after a caller claiming to Cpresent the IRA warned of bombs t all of London's train stations, police said. One man was killed and 40 people were wounded. The 7:46 a.m. explosion sent screaming commuters running from the train terminal, some trailing blood across the concourse. Rush- hour rail traffic was halted for hours as police searched on their hands and knees for clues. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the blast at Victoria,; one of London's two main train stations. The warning was delivered by a man with an Irish accent who said: "We are the Irish Republican Army. Bombs to go off at all mainline stations in 45 minutes," reported Commander George Churchill-Coleman, Scotland Wfard's anti-terrorist chief. The explosion came less than three hours after a bomb exploded at~ Paddington station, the city's other main station. Only a dozen employees were on duty, but no one was injured. Churchill-Coleman said the call was only one of a number of *hreats following the Paddington explosion, and the others "transpired either to be false or malicious." fain McGregor, deputy chief constable of the British Transport Police, said his department gets half a dozen bomb threats a day. Churchill-Coleman said the warning was passed to the British Transport Police, who were *already searching all the main railway terminals when the blast occurred at Victoria. The bomb, which was hidden in a, trash can on the concourse, "was quite deliberately intended to maim and kill," he said. BritishRail Chair Robert Reid said the caller's timing may have been a deliberate attempt to make his warning appear to be a hoax. "Let's face it, as soon as you have an'incident, your telephone lines are choked with hoax calls. Since these two incidents we've had hoax calls all the way up the line," Reid said in an interview on British Broadcasting Corp. radio. British Rail closed all mainline stations after the bombings, sus- pending service that carries half a million people into London every day. Several hours after the Victoria blast, Heathrow airport, Britain's busiest, was evacuated briefly yes- terday after police received a vague bomb threat, an airport spokesperson said. Police searched but found nothing. E.

Maryland passes most i beral law protecting abortion rights by Sunil lyengar "We can achieve so much with a little effort." That's how Recycle-East Quad Co-founder Alissa Strauss de- scribed the pilot program which has brought glass, aluminum, and tin recycling to East Quad. Currently, all residence halls recycle newspaper and corrugated cardboard products through the University's Housing Recycling program. But if the East Quad pro- ject succeeds, other residence halls might adopt Recycle-East Quad's techniques. Strauss and East Quad Resident Fellow Dave Dalu organized the project in October. Last month the group received a helping hand when Housing Recycling gave the dorm access to a pick-up van for removing recyclables. "This program is basically a learning experience for us," said Housing Facilities Director George San Facon. "(Recycle-EQ) and Housing Recycling seem to be go- ing the same direction ... Hope- fully,hthrough experience, we'll be able to solve part of the puzzle." San Facon's "puzzle" involves building an appropriate strategy for implementing Housing Recycling's long-term goals. San Facon be- lieves the Recycle-EQ program is a perfect opportunity to test the practicality of recycling glass, tin, and metals throughout campus. "It's a question of maximum ef- ficiency for the amount of re- sources used ... There are a lot of complications involved in handling and processing (the materials) be- fore they can be recycled," San Facon said. Recycle-EQ has been struggling to solve these problems. Hall rep- resentatives work to keep students, aware of glass, tin, and aluminum deposit sites. Every week at the loading dock, hall representatives. package and prepare the recy-; clable materials for the pick-up van to deliver to Ann Arbor's recy- cling center. "I'm very optimistic about this program," said Deba Patnaik, East Quad's Resident Director. Recycle-EQ members echoed Patnaik's optimism. Last Wednes- day marked the first successful pickup of recyclable glass, tin and aluminum from the residence hall. Housing Recycling is now plan- ning to extend this project to the dining hall and the Halfway Inn restaurant, located in East Quad. Strauss credited the hall repre sentatives for their continual ef- forts. "If it weren't for the other helpful students, we wouldn't be functioning," she said. Strauss also urged all students to "give the matter (of recycling) a second thought." Dave Dalu added that he too hopes this enthusiasm will spread to other dorms. "There are so many readily handled materials that could easily be recycled ... I; would be great if (all dorms) could first step up newspaper and card- board recycling to a 100 percent . I'd love to see that happen," Dald said. ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Gov. William Schaefer signed into law yesterday a bill that would protect a woman's right to abortion in the event the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade decision is overturned. The Maryland House sent the measure to the governor on a vote of 84-52, ending a round of intense lobbying and a yearlong battle. Abortion advocates hailed the law as a major victory. Abortion foes vowed to launch a petition drive to allow voters to reject the law. "By securing a woman's right to choose, the Maryland Legisla- ture is taking a necessary and vital step toward safeguarding the health and lives of Maryland women," said Kate Michelman, director of the National Abortion Rights Action League. "It will become the most lib- eral, the most extreme, abortion law in the entire 50 states," said Democratic Delegate Timothy Maloney, an anti-abortion leader. The pro-choice bill grants adult women unrestricted access to abor- tions up to the time when a fetus is able to survive outside the womb. After that, abortions could be per- formed only to protect a woman's health or in cases where the fetus is deformed. The measure also requires that at least one parent must be noti- fied when an underage girl seeks an abortion.

Foulke attributed the poor at- tendance to the fact that students ing the forum until Monday - a federal holiday. He said students may not have checked their mail- boxes due to the holiday.

"I was fifteenth in the lottery PANEL Continued from page 1 pressed disappointment with the Regents. "Theonly reaction by the Regents was Deane Baker's comment that the actions of 1954 were appropriate," Davis said. The Associated Press quoted Baker last November as saying, "It's my personal opinion that this matter (the suspensions), in its original case and in review, was handled appropriately." Baker verified the quote yes- terday and added, "The judge- ments made by the (former) Pres- ident of the University (Harlan Hatcher) and the various commit- tees stand on their own merit." University President James Duderstadt refused comment and left before the panel discussion began. Adam Kulakow, a 1989 Uni- versity alumnus, produced "Keeping in Mind," a documen- tary video about Davis, Markert, and Nickerson, for his honors En- glish thesis. "I was shocked by how little Deane Baker understood about the situation," Kulakow said. "I don't even know if he is capable of understanding the heroic ac- tions taken by the three of them." O'Neil praised Davis, Nicker- son, and Markert as heroes. "They are fighters and sur- vivors in the best sense. Their courage has inspired us all," O'Neil said. O'Neil also addressed the dan- gers inherent in limiting free speech. "In so many cases outstanding people were denied rights that were theirs, because of political beliefs and associations. How- ever, most of these judgments were dead wrong," O'Neil said. Markert agreed on the impor- tance of preventing future trans- gressions of free speech. "The battles that we three fought were conspicuous easy bat- tles, other types are difficult to fight. The shape of the University is determined by those subtleties and such forces are necessary to protect academic freedom," Markert said. Hollingsworth was pleased with the 400 person turnout. "I saw people here of all ages and that speaks well for the Uni- versity community," she said. "We had a very caring and recep- tive audience."

PROFESSORS Continued from page 1 sity needs to do that," Davis added. Markert, a research and ani- mal sciences professor at North Carolina State University, agreed with Davis. "To take such a negative view of us when there was nothing to justify it, is wrong. It reflected a general weakness on the part of the administration, notpus," Markert said. In 1954, Davis, Markert, and Nickerson were called to testify before a Congressional Commit- tee on Un-American Activities. All invoked their fifith amend- ment rights and refused to answer committee questions about their political associations. For these actions, the three were suspended without salary, and Nickerson was denied the summer portion of his fiscal year salary. Subsequent hearings and committee actions resulted in three different outcomes. Markert was ultimately reinstated; but UN Nickerson - a tenured professor - and Davis were dismissed from the University. Nickerson, a Pharmacology professor at McGill University, said he was bothered most by the 1954 Administration's "mistate- ment of fact". "Harlan Hatcher, the Univer- sity president in 1954, said he fol- lowed the recommendations of the faculty, but that is completely wrong. They didn't want to sus- pend us," Nickerson said. "What I resent most is that Hatcher is lying when he says we were suspended with pay because I wasn't. Someone needs to get him to admit to the truth before it dies with him," he added. Davis said he thought the pur- pose of the lecture was to prevent further actions from happening today. room," Green said.
