RCTC demonstration gets attention Chief Quabachi finally got his ln- dian maiden. Cheryl Vetter, Anderson freshman, did her victory dance with Chief Bill Kennedy for the first time in lSU's history. A crowd gathered on the quad at lunchtime to watch ROTC members rappelling down the west side of Tirey Memorial Union Building. ROTC members reppelled 85 feet down the wall at a recruiting demonstration. The ROTC group consisted of five ISU students, five Rose-Hulman students. and two students from St. Mary of the Woods, who demonstrated two different techniques of rappelling. Patti PaImore's 1972 Vega GT was the center of a dispute when it was towed away in January and Safety and Security refused to tell her where it was until she paid S30 in parking fines. The Frankfort freshman said a Safety and Security investigater called her eight days after the auto was towed away from Lincoln Quad loading dock. The car was at the Mid- town Auto Body garage she was told. Vice president for Business Af- fairs J. Kenneth Moulton said Safety and Security director George Kern had assured him that Palmore had been told where her car was. The dispute over the Palmore auto has changed an ongoing policy according to Moulton. Under the new policy, students are to be told im- mediately when the car is towed away and where it has been towed. The new policy allows a student to reclaim impounded vehicles by paying just the towing charge to the towing firm. A student need not pay parking fines before reclaiming his car, he said. Aaren A. Nicoson, 19, Brazil, a freshman, was killed when her car lost control and struck a tree on U.S. 40 one-quarter mile west of the Staunton Road junction. Nicoson graduated from Brazil High School in 1975 and was major- ing in home economics and interior design. She worked part time in the business department as a secretary. Football player Fred Rensing received a serious neck injury in a Saturday morning workout at Memorial Stadium. The Belleville. Illinois native was injured on the third play of a punt return drills prior to the full intrasquad scrimmage as he and his teammates moved downfield to recover a punt. Rensing arrived at the receiver at the same time as the ball. with his head receiving a whiplash- type blow, resulting in two dislocated vertebrae. A trip to Turkey Run State Park led to the death of David Bennett, 20. Petersburg junior, when he slipped from a thin ledge and fell 50 feet into Sugar Creek. Bennett, a resident of Sandison Hall, was pronounced dead on arrival. The death occured in a restricted area, west of the suspension bridge. Bennett left campus with friends for a day's outing after classes were cancelled for D-day, the Campus wide clean-up day.

We were very fortunate it happened at night, Cardon Burnham, Department of Music chair- man, said. The panic might have resulted in death if the ceiling had fallen during school hours when students would have been utilizing the room he said.
