Michigan Public Health Code for

_ Two violations cited in formal complaint
The assistant attorney general
filed a formal complaint July 22

In the dark
Some halls remain without power
after high voltage cable failure
BY FONTELLA VVHrTE
LIFE StaH Wnfr	
Some students may remain in
the dark until Thursday after a
high voltage cable failure caused a
power outage Sunday, Physical
Plant officials said.
Housing Director George
Jennings said power is up in all
areas except Ronan Hall and the
Robinson residence hall quad.
Because circuits have to be
restored, power will be turned off
and on to work on the cables. The
new cable will have to be tied into
other existing cables in order to
achieve proper power.
Any hall which lost power
during the outage may have its
power turned off after 5 p.m. today
for repair.
For example, power will be
turned off in A, B, C .and D
Preston again tonight. Only the
buildings previously affected by
th* ootaa** will have to be toraed
off.
Classes normally taught in
Ronan Hall and in any halls which
might not have power after 6 p.m.
are being rescheduled in south
campus halls.
Robinson, Larzelere, Calkins
and Trout residence halls are
expected to be without power until
Thursday.
Physical Plant Director Earl
Morrow said the cable was old and
is being replaced.
He said when the department
has had problems with cable
failures resulting in power loss in
■ Outage   disrupts   classes/
the past, the cable may have not
be*n replaced.
Whether a cable will be replaced
depends upon the situation,
Morrow said.
"We had been trying to get
money to replace cables, but there
was always something else that
needed to be done at the time,"
Morrow said.
Robinson Hall Director Kevin
Schaudt said because the quad in
without electricity or hot water,
food is being prepared at other
halls and brought over to the
quad's cafeteria.
"Things are running very
smoothly over here. The residents
are handling it very well and
we've been getting a lot of support
from the housing department,"
Schaudt said.
John Fish'er, director of
on-campus married housing and
singles apartments, said any
residents who have lost food due
to spoilage may contact his office
to talk about a possible refund.
Although nothing in the
contracts addresses such situations, Fisher said he is willing to
listen to complaints. Each situation will be handled on an individual basis.
Fisher said he expects power to
be totally restored by Thursday
at 7 a.m.

BY MARY FRANCIS
LIFE News Ed tor

already open."

'Enquiring' minds. ..
. . .get to know CMU has world's smallest
book amid gossip on Mr. T, Michael J.
BY THOM CUNK
LIFE Suff VVr.ier
Among articles titled
"A-Team Sentenced to Death"
and "How Prince Andy and
Fergie Saved Elton John's
Marriage,* the "enquiring*
mind might be surprised to find
CMU gracing the pages of the
National Enquirer.
CMU recently received
national attention in the publication for being home to the
world's smallest book, housed
in Clarke Historical Library.
The book, a copy of the
nursery rhyme Old King Cole,
is about one-hundredth the size
of the face of a penny. Though
not presently shown in the
library, William Mulligan,
director of Clarke Library, is
searching for a display spot.
The Enquirer story was the
result of a press release sent
out by Mike Silverthom of
Media Services.
The release was accompanied
by black and white photos of
the book taken by Media
Services photographer Peggy
Brisbane displaying the work
in proportion to a postage
stamp.
After the department
released the information to
several publications the
Enquirer replied.
"It seemed like a story the
National Enquirer might use,
so we routinely sent it on,"
Silverthom said. "A couple of
weeks later, they called and
were interested in doing a story
on the book. I was kind of an
in-between for the Enquirer
and the library.*
The story almost did not get
published. Enquirer editors
responded requesting Brisbane
re-shoot the book as it rested on
top of a penny. This proved to
be impossible because the book
is mounted on a cardboard
sheet and any attempt to move
it could result in irreparable
damage.
After being informed of the
situation, the Enquirer did not
respond for nearly four weeks.
"When they first called me,
they had exactly in mind what
they wanted to do, and we
couldn't do it," Silverthom said.
Silverthom was beginning to
give up hope when the
Enquirer represenatives called
again saying they still were
interested.

added it is a difficult matter to resolve because so
many people are involved.

conflicting stories about what happened and what
the fight was about, but added the police do have
some "specific details on some people."

they're sketchy at tiest," Trombley said.
