J. — Karen Anne Quinlan’s fate will be decided in 10 to 14 days, a judge said Mon day after final arguments by lawyers who want to keep the comatose woman alive and by a lawyer for her parents, who want to “let her die with dignity. Citing the complex testimony at the five-day trial, Superior Court Judge Robert Muir Jr. said he needed time to prepare a detailed opinion in the case. In his summation, Paul W. Armstrong, the Quinlans’ lawyer, urged Muir to allow death to come to “a poor and tragic creature whose life is uo more than a pattern of primitive, involuntary reflexes. “Can anything be more degrad ing than the concept that death can he cheated if we can only find the right combination of wires, tubes and transistors? Armstrong asked. Miss Quinlan, 21, has been in a coni a for six months. Her parents want her removed from a life- sustaining respirator and doctors have testified that brain damage has put Miss Quinlan in a “persistent vegetative state” that cannot be re versed by known medical technol- °gy- “In the face of hopeless and ir reversible coma, continued treat ment serves no valid medical pur pose,” Armstrong said. Arrayed against Armstrong were lawyers for Miss Quinlan’s doctors, the state, the Morris County pro secutor, St. Clare’s Hospital, and Miss Quinlan’s temporary, court- appointed guardian, Daniel Coburn. The doctors’ lawyer, Ralph Por- zio, asserted that no one may order someone’s death just because the quality of that life is low. “You open the gates to the deaths of thousands of people in the United States who may have a low quality of life, Porzio said. “It gives judicial sanction to the act of euthanasia,” he said. Porzio acknowledged that Miss Quinlan has been given no chance of survival, but he said doctors often make mistakes in their prognoses. “If Karen Anne Quinlan has one NEEDED: TOM PADGITT’S Creations To Sell HI-FI & STEREO For DISCOUNTS Arts & Crafts Fair 693-5143 Phone 845-1631 AFTER 4 P.M.

Collester, the Morris County Prosecutor, argued that al though the Quinlans have good mo tives, they are applying for permis sion to commit a crime. The Quinlans and their two other children, Mary Ellen and John, sat impassively in the courtroom as the lawyers expressed sympathy for them. “We re very glad the first part of this is over,” said Mrs. Quinlan af terward. “We need some rest now. Now we ll await the decision.” Regardless of Muir’s ruling, the case is expected to be appealed. A source close to the New Jersey Sup reme Court predicted it would have the case within six weeks. Library books Mutilations pose problem By CAROL JONES Battalion Staff Writer The term paper that has been put off is due next week. It’s about time to gather up a list of references and go to the library. At the card catalog file, the num bers of the books and periodicals are jotted down and the second, third or fourth floor are searched for mate rial. This sure seems like the easy part of preparing a paper. But, it may not he so easy. Ever open a book, only to find many of the pages missing? Or noticed how dif ficult it is to find a complete periodical? Mutilation of books and periodi cals is a problem that confronts the Texas A&M library. It is also a prob lem that many students and faculty must face. Those who use the lib rary are the ones hurt most by hook mutilation. When the information needed has been torn out, where can it be found? “Periodicals are the latest infor mation,” Richard Puckett, assistant director for library public services, said. “They are torn up the most because current information is in highest demand.” Recent periodicals are un bounded Puckett said, and missing articles can be replaced easily by getting other copies of the magazines. But after it is bound, the magazine is more difficult to re place. Because it is no longer cur rent and if other universities do not have copies to duplicate, the mis sing sections just remain missing, said Puckett. “Scientific and medical books with big colored pictures are more likely to be torn up,” he said. Re placing books usually means buying another one. BOOK SALE Continuation Book Sale covering all subjects. GIGANTIC SAVINGS!

FREE GIFT WRAPPING ON ALL PURCHASES. EMBREY’S JEWELRY “It takes a while to find the torn books,” Puckett said. “We don’t know about it until someone needs it and then we go about replacing it. Puckett explained that some of the dissertations and theses of A&M graduates are bound and on the shelves of the library. He said some times the whole paper is torn out and the empty cover sits on the shelf until someone discovers it. Puckett said he couldn’t explain why the book mutilation takes place. “This is one reason why we keep the copy machines, he said. “The library is actually losing money on five cents a copy, but we keep it cheap so students can afford it. One of the reasons for book muti lation may be because students can’t get change. “The library can only give out so much change, said Charles Smith, Humanitarians Lib rarian . He said the copying machines are serviced twice a day, Monday through Friday. “Some students come up here on Sunday night ex pecting to copy material for the next day, he said. “Then they may find the machines out of order. Smith said the library woidd probably go more and more to mic rofilm. “It is cheaper to buy the film than to bind books most of the time, he said. “It also take up less space. Smith also said everyone should be able to enjoy browsing through books, but with the mutilation of books and periodicals, that brows ing privilege may disappear. News Council upholds few bias complaints Associated Press NEW YORK — The National News Council, organized to investi gate complaints of biased reporting by national news media, said Mon day that it had upheld only five of more than 300 complaints received during its first two years of opera tion. However, the council said in a report that its 15 members acted formally on just 59 complaints since many did not qualify because they either were local in nature or were lacking in specifics. Among the complaints the coun cil considered, 33 were found to be unwarranted and 21 were dismissed for other reasons, the report said. Still others were settled by the staff before reaching the council, said Stanley Fuld, the council president. Fuld is a former chief judge of the New York State Court of Appeals. The report said complaints inves tigated by the council included eight against wire services, 23 against television networks, one against a radio network, two against news magazines, 10 against national newspapers, 11 against news ser vices and syndicates and six others. There were two cases pending as of July 31, 1975. The council upheld two com plaints against television networks, two against news services and syn dicates and one against a national newspaper. None was upheld against wire services. ; ^Trzz_ et- r <4*2*27^1 itifcHovJi. Xv/rJ $ Cd\i>t tT y COr. THE FRIENDLY STORE 415 UNIVERSITY DR. COLLEGE STATION 9:00-5:30 MON.-SAT.
