Teacher strikes in Michigan,
Illinois, Pennsylvania and Ohio
dosed schools for more than
!00,000 students today, promp
ting angry parents in at least one
district to set up their own picket
lines to protest the walkouts.
In the largest threatened
strike in the nation, Detroit
teachers set a Friday deadline
|for a strike vote if no contract
igreement is reached. They
roted Tuesday to extend their
)ld contract 72 hours and con
tinue negotiations allowing clas
hes for the city’s 211,500 stu-
Idents to open on schedule
[Wednesday.
New York, New Jersey and
[Washington state teachers also
[were negotiating new contracts
[over pay and class time.
In Illinois, where teacher
[strikes affected 45,000 students,
parents and children in Pala
tine-Rolling Meadows District
15 marched Tuesday to seek a
[settlement of the strike in their
district. One girl carried a sign
'reading, “Let Me Go Back to
I School.”
In Michigan, teachers in
[seven school districts walked out
Tuesday, joining four other dis-
kricts. About 4,000 teachers and
I more than 78,000 students were
1 affected.
The latest strikes included
■ Kalamazoo, Waterford, South-
■ field, Ferndale, Troy, Traverse
■ City and Suttons Bay. Still closed
■ by strikes that began last week
■were Lake Orion, Fenton, Novi
land Lake City.
Almost 3,500 Pennsylvania
■ teachers were striking 14 school
■ districts, leaving about 87,000
students on summer vacation.
Two of the latest strikes in
cluded Central Bucks School
District in the Doylestown area
and the Greater Nanticoke Area
District in northeastern Pennsyl
vania. Teachers in nine other
districts were threatening
strikes.
Illinois teachers were also
striking East St. Louis, the Wood
River-Hartford Elementary
School District downstate,
Wheaton-Warrenville District
200, the Palos area and West
Chicago.
The East St. Louis school
board issued an ultimatum to
1,100 teachers who have been
on strike since Aug. 31, saying
they would be docked a
months-salary and dropped
from insurance benefits if they
did not show up for work next
Monday. Teachers who report
will lose only four days’ salary
under the board’s announce
ments.
Contract talks were broken
off and no date was set for re
sumption. Schools have stayed
open, but only a few teachers
and students have been report
ing to classes.
In Ohio, about 273 teachers
were striking the North Olmsted
District in suburban Cleveland
for the fifth day, affecting 5,600
students.
Schools remained open with
administrators and non-striking
teachers manning classrooms.
About one-third of the district’s
bus drivers failed to show up for
work Tuesday in apparent sym
pathy for the teachers. No new
talks were scheduled.
Study: uglier
have smarter
United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO - Nice
looking guys finish last in the
race for status while their
uglier counterparts come out
with better jobs and better
educated wives, according to a
study reported by [.Richard
Udry and Bruce Eckland of
the University of North Caro
lina Tuesday at the 77th
anruial meeting of the Amer
ican Sociological Association.
A woman’s attractiveness
was unrelated to education,
occupation or personal in
come, but attractiveness
affects adult status though
marriage to a high-income
husband, Udry and Eckland
said.
For males, however, the
findings were quite different.
The least attractive men
have the most education and
job status, the researchers
said, citing a study of 601 men
and 745 women. The job sta
tus rating decreases with
attractiveness and only the
“outstandingly” good-looking
men attain jobs as prestigious
as less attractive men do.
The study used data from a
1970 Explorations in Equality
of Opportunity survey of men
and women who were ques
tioned during their high
school sophomore year in
1955. Research assistants then
used high school pictures to
rate the atractiveness of the
respondents.
The study showed more
attractive women had more
highly educated husbands,
while the opposite was true
for men.
men
wives
The survey showed less
attractive men performed bet
ter in school and had sexual
relations at a later age than
better-looking males, while
there was no such correlation
for women.
The fact the more attrac
tive men had less-educated
wives was explained by “the
high level of sexual activity
and the low academic achieve
ment of the better-looking
males.”
“Perhaps being good look
ing gives a man so many heter
osexual opportunities he loses
sight of other objectives and
marries at an earlier age,
thereby probably marrying a
younger woman than the less
good-looking man and, there
fore, a woman with less educa
tion,” said Udry.
Court allows workers
state, federal benefits
United Press International
NEW ORLEANS - The
Louisiana Supreme Court has
ruled that offshore oil workers
injured on rigs on the Outer
Continental Shelf can apply for
compensation benefits under
both state and federal law.
The court Tuesday over
turned a lower appeals court
ruling that would have pre
vented a New Iberia man from
collecting benefits from
Louisiana Worker’s Compensa
tion as well as the federal Long
shoreman and Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act.
Dan Thompson injured his
hand March 9, 1980, while
working for Teledyne Movible
Offshore Inc. of New Iberia on a
rig 4 miles off the Louisiana
coast in federal waters of the
Outer Continental Shelf.
For several decades,
Louisiana courts heard workers’

United Press International
NEW YORK — Police sear
ching the “meat rack” area fre
quented by male prostitutes
arrested a teenager Tuesday in
the slaying of the University of
Florida’s “junk food professor”
and said two young men already
charged in the killing were pros
titutes.
The suspects were held pend
ing a hearing to determine
whether they should be extra
dited to Florida. Police said one
of the suspects was cooperating
with their investigation and had
agreed to return.
The three were believed to be
the same suspects charged two
weeks ago in Gainesville, Fla.,
with forging checks in the name
of Professor Howard Apple-
dorf, 41, who was found suffo
cated in his apartment Friday in
what police called a ritualistic,
possibly revenge killing.
Food was smeared on walls,
spelling out the word “redrum”
— murder spelled backward —
in a scene similar to the horror
movie “The Shining.”
Police said the suspects were
released from jail last Thursday
when Appledorf unexplainedly
dropped the charges.
The popular professor slowly
suffocated last Friday in his
apartment while his killers mun
ched on submarine sandwiches,
police said.
The third suspect, 15, was
arrested just after midnight
Tuesday in a section of Manhat
tan known as the “meat rack”
because of its concentration of
male prostitutes, police said. Au
thorities in Gainesville said they
could not release the name of
the Wilton, Conn., teenager.
Paul Everson, 19, of Rollin-
dale, Mass., charged with first
degree murder, was arrested in
New York Tuesday.
“All the detectives in the sec
tion of New York where we be
lieved the suspects to be were
carrying photographs of him
(Everson),” Capt. Richard Ward
of the Gainesville Police Depart
ment said.
“One of the Manhattan de
tectives spotted this guy walking
down the street, and he ran
across and picked him up.”
The other suspect, identified
as Gary McNichol, was charged
earlier Tuesday with first-
degree murder. He was arrested
in Manhattan, driving Apple-
dorPs car, after a long chase. He
told detectives he would waive
extradition to Florida at a hear
ing in New York.
“We understand this fellow
(McNichol) is talking, but that’s
all we can say right now,” Ward
said. “We understand he has
waived extradition and we can
have him back here as soon as we
can get him in front of a magis
trate up there.”
Ward insisted the killing had
no apparent sexual overtones
although he said Everson had
been arrested for prostitution.
New York detectives also identi
fied McNichol as a male prosti
tute.
Authorities had trouble iden
tifying the suspects because of
their many aliases.
Appledorf, 41, gained na
tional attention for his bioche
mical analysis of fast foods in the
1970s and was nicknamed “the
junk-food professor” when he
touted the nutritional value of
McDonald’s hamburgers.
His body was found gagged,
blindfolded and propped
against a sofa Sunday in his ran
sacked, lakeside condominium
in Gainesville.
Three plates with sandwiches
on them and wine glasses were
set in a neat semicircle around
the body. An empty fourth plate
and an upturned wine glass
\yere beside the body. The pro
fessor was smothered with a can
vas tote bag filled with water
wrapped around his head, and
pillows and towels placed over
his face.
Appledorf had been a profes
sor at the university for 15 years.

Debtors work
for government
United Press International
WASHINGTON - The Educa
tion Department is moving to
identify and collect from its em
ployees who have defaulted on
federal student loans.
Education Secretary Terrel
Bell, who earlier announced a
computer check for workers who
still owe Uncle Sam for their edu
cation, said Monday his agjency is
now changing procedures to
make it easier to dock their
wages.
At the same time the White
House is backing legislation that
would allow the government to
garnish wages for back debt with
out first going to court. Now,
court judgement must be mac
before pay can be docked.
Thousands of federal workei
have defaulted on governmei
student loans and, in an emba
rassing and ironic twist, many t
them now work for the Educ;
tion Department.
The government was embai
rassed by Senate hearings in Jui
at which Sen. Charles Percy, F
Ill., called it “outrageous” tht
more than 37,000 federal worl
ers are delinquent debtors.
The government is owed $1.
billion in delinquent guarantee
student loans.

compensation suits by Louisiana

In case of recovery under
