custody two weeks ago and

assess the effect Saxe's capture
would have on the local case.

US. Atty. Eugene Siler, the
federal prosecutor, said the dev-
elopment would have no immed-
iate effect on the grand jury's
proceedings.

“There is still the possibility
that she was harbored around
here." Siler said. He said a
decision on whether the subpoenn
aes would remain in effect can
not he made until both fugitives
are captured and interviewed.

KELLEY’S STATEMENT said
that Saxe was caught by a police
officer who recognized her from
photographs and a description
reissued Thursday by the FBI.
According to the wire service, a
large number of flyers containing
information about Saxe were
reissued in Philadelphia because
the FBI “had reason to believe"
she was in the area.

An FBI spokesman was quoted
as saying the federal agency had
traced her travels to the city.
Saxe was using an identification
in the name of Ailene A. Hellman
and was positively identified by
the FBI on the basis of her
fingerprints. She was alone at
the time, unarmed and offered no
resistance.

"THE Ill'SIEST TIME w as when the students
returned in January." said Mct‘ullers, an
accounting professor whose oneryear term as
ombudsman expires in June. “At one time I had
16 active files plus the carryover from last
semester. It took until the end of February to
clear up the backlog “

faculty and administrative personnel.

He investigates the student‘s complaint.

knowing where to turn for help in solving a
problem. It‘s important to have a position easily
recognized as a place to appeal for help.“

nine months as ombudsman.

University. with the exception of the College of
Medicine." he said.
