More facts needed
to redistrict SUAB
Student University Affairs
Board members agreed to
redistrict themselves Wednes
day. but added that they need
some statistics before they can
take action
The ASUO Constitution Com
mittee recently ordered that
SUAB be reapportioned
"We heard about their deci
sion directing us to reapportion,
which is fair, but they 're making
a judgment based on statistics
from a year and a half ago," said
Dan Allen, SUAB chairer
No one's position is in
jeopardy," Allen assured SUAB
members at the meeting He
said the board will determine
any necessary changes before
advertising vacant positions
In other business, SUAB
members noted plans for the
ASUO-sponsored Political Faire
slated for Oct 21 are going
quite well," according to Allen
They have been contacted by
Rep Jim Weaver's office
requesting a special time for a
meeting, but they refused
because of the additional time
and money involved

sealing of all over-the-counter
drugs and medications sold in
the city The proposal follows a
law passed earlier this week by
the Cook County Board, but ex
tends to free drug samples and
includes some medicated cos
metics, according to Terry
Hocin, deputy city health com
missioner
Meanwhile, police in
Oroville, Calif , said they were
seeking a “copycat” who may
have planted strychnine in Ex
tra-Strength Tylenol capsules
after hearing of the Chicago
poisonings But Illinois' top pro
secutor said he did not believe
one case “inspired” the other
In the Oroville incident,
Greg Blagg, a 27-year-old
butcher, went into convulsions
last Thursday after taking
capsules that contained strych
nine Blaggv who has recovered,
told reporters Tuesday that he
bought the Tylenol at a local
drug store two weeks before
taking the capsule — well in
advance of reports of the
Chicago-area deaths
Police Sgt Jack Lee in
Oroville said the account of the
purchase Blagg gave to author
ities “has not been confirmed"
Blagg was questioned for two
hours Tuesday by FBI agents
The FDA said strychnine
was found in two other Tylenol
Oregon Dally Emerald
bottles obtained from the Longs
Drug Store where Blagg said he
purchased his.
“It's highly suspected at
this point in time that it was a
copycat crime,'' Lee said
That assessment was dis
puted by Attorney General
Fahner "The strychnine case
does not seem to have been
inspired by what happened in
Chicago," he said
Cook County Medical Ex
aminer Robert Stein said
Wednesday that lab tests in
dicate cyanide could have
remained in the adulterated
capsules "for at least 48 hours”
without revealing ''tell-tale''
signs of their content
“They still look normal,”
Stein said of capsules that re
searchers have filled with cyan
ide to learn how long it would
take the corrosive poison to
discolor or partially disintegrate
the shells. "We re at 48 hours
now.”
Stein also said tests have
revealed that whoever con
taminated the capsules "began
with Tylenol in them, emptied
them out and filled them up with
cyanide " Pretliminary tests had
found no Tylenol at all in the
contaminated capsules,
prompting speculation that the
killer might have started with
empty capsules.
