BY KRIS HAHN
LIFE Staff Wnter
Police Tuesday continued seeking the identity of
a young woman's body found Sunday in Midland
County, after an .autopsy revealed she died of
multiple gunshot wounds.
Commander Jerry Hyland of the Mount Pleasant
Post of the Michigan State Police said the autopsy
was performed Monday at Sparrow Hospital in
Lansing.
"When the examination was completed, it was
determined that the victim died of gunshot wounds,"
Hyland said.
He would not say what type of weapon was used,
how many shots were fired or where the gunshots
entered the woman's body.
Several CMU students who declined to give their
names, said they attended a party Friday on
Franklin Street where the word 'sei' was printed.
not stamped, on hands.
State Police .Sgt. Al Bland said he does not know
whether the incidents are connected, but added that
all possible leads are being investigated.
Hyland .said the body was discovered approximately 50 to 60 feet from M-18, near US-10, by a
Saginaw-area firefighter who was driving by and
saw the body.
Police released a composite drawing of the woman
Tuesday and plan to release a drawing or photo of
the woman's hand today, which was stamped with
the word 'sex,' Hyland said.
Several people from the Detroit area are traveling
to Midland to try to identify the body, Bland said
Tuesday, adding he does now know if the woman
was a CMU student.
Hyland described the woman as a white female,
5-foot-7'/,*-inches, 110 pounds, with brown, wavy,
medium-length hair, brown eyes and a "fair
complexion."
The body also has a emsllpox vaccination scar on
the left arm, according to information released by
the Midland County Prosecutor's Office.
Hyland said the body was clad in a light purple or
lilac turtleneck sweater, white bra and yellow and
black panties.
Several pieces of jewelry also were found on the
body, Hyland said. Police found a gold cross on a
gold chain with the inscription "Jesus," a gold chain
holding a St. Jude medallion smaller than a dime
with the inscriptions "St. Jude* and "Pray for us." A
black metal locket with painted flowers on a black
velvet ribbon necklace also was on the body, the
information release stated.
Police also found a yellow-gold ring with a black
onyx stone with diamonds above and below the
stone on the body's left ring finger.
Police are urging anyone who may have information about the incident to report it to the Michigan
State Police at 773-5951.

A South African ambassador's
.CMU appearance next week may
be met with protest from one
community group, one CMU
student said.
South African Ambassador
Albert L. Manley is scheduled to
attend CMUs United Nations
conference, "St.ru.ggle for Power
and Security: Cooperation or
Conflict." Diplomats are
scheduled to speak Monday
through Wednesday.
Manley, who represents the
- spartheid-yracticing-country, will
be joined by diplomats who oppose
apartheid, as well as other international representatives.
The Mount Pleasant Coalition
Against Apartheid (MPCAA» has
organized protests scheduled
when Manley comes to CMU for
the conference, MPCAA member
Vince Prygoski said.
And another protest already has
begun. Laura Gonzales, director of
the Office of Minority Affairs, said
her stafT is investigating several
different posters put up in campus
buildings that have offended some
black students.
One of the posters states "The
spirit of Forsyth. Ga. and South
Africa comes to CMU April
20-21-22." she said. This poster
also included a picture of a hooded
figure, similar to a Ku Klux Klan
robe.
Forsyth County, in Georgia, was
the site of a march in honor of
Martin Luther King Jr."s birthday
in January. Bystanders polled
some of the marchers with stones.
Gonzales said she did not know
who was responsible for the
posters.

Required permits could ease parking problem
BY SANDRA K. WHITE
LIFE Staff Wnter	
Requiring purchase of annual
permits for parking in Lot 22 near
Anspach Hall could alleviate
overcrowding, one Department of
Public Safety official said.
DPS Associate Director Ron
Williams has suggested a proposal
that would force commuters who
pay the daily 50-cent chai-ge to
either buy a $25 permit or park at
other locations.
Williams   said   he   made   the
proposal a few weeks ago to DPS
Director John McAuliffe, who
discussed the proposal with other
CMU officials. Williams would not
comment who those officials were.
"As of yet, there is no decision to
implement that proposal."
Williams said.
Requiring commuters who pay
the 50-cent parking fee to buy a
$25 permit or park elsewhere,
Williams said, would cut down on
Lot 22's overcrowding problem.
"There are students who pay 50
cents to park in Lot 22, because it
is   convenient.   Many   of  those
people live very close to campus. I
believe if the 50 cents per day
option were no longer available,
some of those students would buy
annual permits.
"I think (the parking situation
in Lot 22) would improve, because
I suspect many people who pay 50
cents a day to park there wouldn't
drive if they had to pay for an
annual permit."
During six school days. Lot 22,
which holds 655 vehicles, makes
more than $1,000 from the 50-cent
parking fee. DPS Office Manager
Sharon Shaw said.
Commuters pay $25 for a
permit to park on campus, while
students living on-campus pay
$12.50, Williams said.
University revenue generated
by Lot 22's daily fees would
change if the proposal is accepted,
Williams said.
"University revenue received
from those who pay 50 cents to
park would disappear. But some
of those people would purchase
permits. I can't really say whether
the  proposal  would have a big

CMU officials investigating an alleged racial conflict said they've
received conflicting accounts of the dispute that spurred a 100-student
assembly in the Towers lobby.
Laura Gonzales, director of the Office of Minority .Affairs, said she
couldn't say what investigators have found so far. She added she hopes
the investigation team will have their final assessment by next week.
"We're having conflicting stories of what happened and we will not
make any conclusions until all of the interviews have been held,"
Gonzales said. "I am not yet at liberty to say what we've been hearing.
The April 2 incident started when Karla Allen, Lansing freshman,
said she found a sign that read "Bitch" and some garbage bags taped to
her door.
Allen, a black student, and some of her friends suspected the white
women who live across the hall from her of hanging the sign on her
door, she said, A conflict allegedly involving derogatory name calling
and physical contact between one of the black girls and one of the
white girls occurred.
The conflict eventually led to the gathering of about 100 people,
mostly black students, in the Towers Residence Complex lobby.
Gonzales said the interviewees have been cooperative so far but
have given many different versions about what happened, ranging
from totally different stories to slight variations in details.
"I think they understand the situation and have been willing to
come in and talk," Gonzales said.* "Parts of the situation have been
