The GM recall involves 1975 through 1978 models of Catalina, Bonneville, Firebird, Le Mans and Grand Pcutos. The EPA said 27,000 of the cars are ’75 models with 455 cubic-inch engines, 5,000 are ’76 models with 350 cubic-inch engines, and 398,000 are ’77 and ’78 models with either 350 or 400 cubic-inch Campus Names Dent first recipient Creswell award of Sharon Higgins Dent has been named the first recipient of the.

The space agency said Monday that the North American Air De fense Command calculates there is a 90 percent chance Skylab will come down sometime between June 11 and July 1, with a 50-50 chance its demise will occur June 19. The orbital path of the abandoned 78.5-ton space laboratory is drop ping two miles a week because of the slight but steady drag it encounters from the very thin upper fringes of Earth’s atmosphere. The lower it gets, the faster will be its orbital descent until the drag is too much and Skylab loses the speed required to keep it in orbit. The 118-foot long assembly is now about 198 miles high. It was launched in 1973 into an orbit rang ing from 270 to 281 miles high. Skylab will break apart when it hits the thicker portions of the at mosphere. Most of its aluminum structure is expected to burn up from the heat of air friction, but NASA estimates 400 to 500 pieces will survive. The debris is expected to be scat tered along a belt 4,000 miles long and 100 miles wide somewhere be tween 50 degrees north and 50 de grees south. That covers 75 percent of Earth’s surface and 90 percent of the world’s population. Skylab flies over all of the United States except Alaska, much of Europe and Asia, all of Africa and Australia and nearly all of South America. Until the final few hours [| re-entry, there is no way top where the pieces will fall aol mates even then may be offtr] dreds or even thousands ofuj The danger of being bit byi| of Skylab is no greater thanl of being hit by a meteorite, i ing to NASA.

Inc Offer good on regular menu prices through HSj” United Press International CHICAGO — Jane M. Byrne, keeping a promise she made in anger, returned triumphantly as mayor to the City Hall she was or dered to leave just 17 months ago. Monday night, the 44-year-old Byrne, welcomed by an Irish bag pipes, walked on an Irish-green car pet to the City Council chambers, where she took the oath of ofifice and became the first woman mayor of Chicago. Chicago’s 42nd mayor told a crowd of about 1,000 that jammed the council chambers, she would “continue that tradition” of leader ship of the late Mayor Richard J. Daley, her political mentor. “When there were fears about the future of the nation’s other older cities, when a few of the cities tee tered on the brink of bankruptcy, all eyes were focused on Chicago for contrast,” Byrne said. “This was the city run efficiently. It was the city in good financial con dition. It was the city, if I may re peat a cliche, that everybody said was ‘the city that works.’ “The credit for much of this rightly belongs to the late Mayor Daley, who forged a coalition of business and labor that kept Chicago always moving ahead. I pledge tonight to continue that tra dition.” Byrne, who was appointed con sumer sales commissioner by Daley in 1969, said her administration will bring a “new renaissance” to the city by rebuilding the city’s neighbor hoods. She also pledged an “open kind of government” and “to be mayor for all of the people of this city — for one Chicago.” Byrne was fired by Mayor Michael A. Bilandic, who became mayor after Daley’s death in 1976, after she accused him in November 1977 of “greasing” a taxicab fare in crease through the City Council. Angry that she was being tossed out of City Hall, Byrne i aides she would take Bilan away from him and walk bacl City Hall. She later said shetj the statement “off the topd head.” surp; On Feb. 27, Byrne nearly everyone by beatingEi I and the Chicago Demot I machine in the Democratic ms primary.
