Fromme fails to oust two jurors
Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
Lynette Fromme, accused of trying
to kill President Ford, has lost at
tempts to remove two hunters from
a list of possible jurors and to change
the way the judge says her name.
U. S. District Court Judge
Thomas MacBride — himself a
hunter — refused to dismiss the
hunters Wednesday, despite Miss
Fromme’s arguments that they
might be prejudiced against her be
cause of her anti-hunting views.
Miss Fromme sent MacBride a
note saying that he was mis
pronouncing her name. She said it
should be said in two syllables,
“From-MEE.” MacBride said he
would go on pronouncing the name
in one syllable because “it’s too late
to change now. ”
loaded .45-caliber pistol from her
after she pointed it at Ford as he
walked to the state Capitol in Sac
ramento.
While MacBride quizzed poten
tial jurors Wednesday morning
about their ability to remain impar
tial, Miss Fromme spent most of the
time sitting quietly at the defense
table. But during the afternoon ses
sion she asked MacBride to dismiss
two potential jurors because they
said they were hunters.
“The elements leading to my in
tent have directly to do with killing
of animals, ” she said in a challenge
to one of them. “He would be de
liberating about himself. I believe it
would definitely influence his deci
sion. ”
sider Miss Fromme’s antihunting
views in judging her case.
Miss Fromme still may oust the
hunters from the jury by using two
of her preemptory challenges. She
may dismiss 10 jurors and the pro
secution may dismiss six without
stating a cause. MacBride may dis

Miss Fromme has expressed con
cern for the environment. At one
hearing she criticized MacBride for
going duck hunting.
MacBride allowed the hunters,
Rose Rodoni and Leroy Lee, to re
main on the list of possible jurors
after they said they would not con-
cause.
Jury selection was expected to
last at least until Friday.
Miss Fromme assumed full re
sponsibility for her defense Tuesday
after she fired her second court-
appointed cocounsel, John Virga.
She had earlier dumped federal
public defender E. Richard Walker.
But she agreed to allow Virga to
act as a “standby attorney” to advise
her on questioning witnesses and
making motions and arguments.
Virga was dismissed after agre
eing with MacBride’s and U. S.
Atty. Dwayne Keyes’ refusal to
allow Miss Fromme to change her
innocent plea to no contest, which
accepts a conviction and sentence
without admitting guilt.
UTSA studies Liberty Bell defective

The University of Texas Health
Treasure’s structure flawed
Science Center at San Antonio has
received a two year grant from the
National Institutes of Drug Abuse to
launch a study of marijuana and its
effects on reproduction in the
female.
Researchers at the center will be
looking at the effects of chronic and
acute use of marijuana on the hor
mones that control reproduction.
No conclusive studies on the ef
fects of the drug on reproduction
have been conducted yet. Dr. Carol
Smith, Assistant Professor of Phar
macology and principle researcher,
said.
She said most other studies have
been done only with male rhesus
monkeys.
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — The Lib
erty Bell is not only cracked but
might be America’s most flawed tre-
“Scientifically speaking, it’s a
piece of junk,” said metallurgist
Mike Modes, who spent an entire
night last week making “radiog
raph” pictures, similar to X rays, of
the nation’s symbol of freedom.
It was the first time anyone has
ever examined the metallic struc
ture of the Liberty Bell, and it
showed that the famous crack is only
one of dozens of defects.
The crack — actually it’s two
cracks — occurred on July 8, 1835,
while the bell was tolling the death
of Chief Justice John Marshall.
Doctor’s Bag
Doctor’s Bag is a service for students at A&M. Questions should be
sent to Sandy Russo at The Battalion, and will be answered by Dr.
Claude Goswick, director of the University Health Center.
Q. Do you have a gynecologist at the health center. Why does a
pregnancy test cost $2?
A. The Health Center “retains” a local gynecologist, Dr. Benbow.
He is not in residence at the Health Center, but nurses will make an
appointment for students to be seen in his private office at no expense
to the student.
A pregnancy test is such a specialized test (of use to a small group of
students only) that we feel it is not fair to make all students who pay
the Health Center fee bear the expense of it.
Q. What is encephalitis? Is there any chance of an outbreak here,
like the one in Houston?
A. Encephalitis is an inflammation of brain tissue usually caused by
a virus or an altered reaction to a virus. There are many types of
encephalitis, all are potentially very serious. The current outbreak in
Houston is caused by a virus borne by mosquitoes and the best way of
controlling it is to spray and kill those mosquitoes. The chances of such
an outbreak here would seem to be minimal, though possible.

QUALITY FIRST”
Modes, who works for Universal
Technical Testing Laboratory Inc.,
wanted to see if the bell is too brittle
to be carried from Independence
Hall across the street in late De
cember to a new display center.
“I would say it is safe to move.
Modes said in an interview Wed
nesday. “But it’s a mess.
“There is, of course, the large
crack that everyone knows about. It
is also full of things called ‘shrin
kage’ and porosity.
There are soft spots created when
the metal cooled after casting. They
were common in metals of the
1750s. So the good citizens of
Philadelphia were not "taken when
they paid $303 to London’s
Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1752.
Last week, Modes hauled his
equipment into darkened Indepen
dence Hall at 5 p.m., after the
tourists were gone, and worked
until nine the next morning.
“You can say I was honored to do
this,” he said. “We have negatives
for 95 per cent of the entire volume
metallic content.
Mode says the Liberty Bell is in
no danger of crumbling.
“It looks like what you’d find in
very poor commercial casting done
today, he said.
