The Rev. Jesse Jackson's
Michigan victory Saturday
against Massachusetts Gov.
Michael Dukakis and the rest of
the Democrats was the biggest
victory of the Democratic primary season.
He also won in Isabella County.
Jackson, a Baptist minister
from Illinois, got 321 votes in
Isabella County, compared to
Dukakis' 308, County Democratic Chairwoman Linda Mason
said. —
Mason said it is not possible to
say how many delegates each
candidate won in Isabella County
because the delegates are proportioned by congressional district.
Isabella County is part of the
10th Congressional District,
which has a total of five delegates
allotted to it.
There will be a district convention at CMU May 7 to designate
delegates.
Mason said a total of 7f>5 people
%-oted, which is more than her
early expectations. Only about
400 people voted in 1984.
There was a lot of interest, a
lot more than last time." Mason
said.
The county had two voting
places, one in Weidman and one
at the Isabella County Building,
200 N. Main.
The University population had
a great deal to do with Jackson's
Isabella County win. Mason said.
She said although many students
are not registered in the county to
vote, some were able to vote. Also.
University professors had a big
effect on the vote.

Chemical imbalance
Man-made substances may be thinning ozone layer
by DANA HOOGERHYDE
Department to create position
l IH   St.iM
Continued use of man-made
chemicals that appear to destroy
the ozone layer will be "suicidal."
a physics professor said.
Ozone is a form of oxygen
which is poisonous if breathed in
large quantities at ground level.
It makes life possible on earth by-
blocking harmful ultraviolet rays
from the sun at high altitudes.
It occurs in an atmospheric
layer at heights of approximately
20 to 30 miles
The Environmental Protection
Agency has estimated every 1
percent decline inozoneoverhead
means an eventual increase in
skin cancer of 5 to 6 percent.
A recent report on ozone concentrations shows a decline in the
ozone layer almost is certainly
the result of human use of ozone-
destroying chemicals. That
report was made by National
Aeronautics and Space Administration panel members.
Dennis Machnik, assistant
professor of physics, said though
the entire mechanism of what
keeps the ozone layer at its present level is not yet understood,
ozone is continually produced in
nature   and   could   repair   itself
eventually if given a chance
"The actual cause of the thinning has not been proven, hut we
know we have upset the delicate
balance." Machnik said   "To con-

Department of I*ublic Safety-
officers Sunday were investigating a University employee's
improper use of a Moore Hall
computer, a DPS official said.
The spokesman said Sunday
the investigation was not complete and declined to give specific details, but said a faculty-

a computer in a private office on
the third floor Friday at 11:54
p.m.
The spokesman said the
employee told the faculty member he had not received permission to use the computer. The
spokesman added the faculty
member became suspicious
when he saw names of faculty
members on the screen.
The spokesman said he did
not know- if the disc the information was on had been stolen or
possibly thrown out, but said he
did not believe it was public
information.
