"We're not going to have any
comment at all today," he said.
Grand jury members also refused
to discuss the investigation. ,
Marshall said last week that he
would use Tuesday's session to bring
the grand jury up to date on the police
inquiry into the death of Bias, who
collapsed in his dormitory room June
19, two days after being drafted by
the NBA champion Boston Celtics.
Dr. John Smialek, Maryland
medical examiner, said the Ail
American died of cocaine intoxica
tion. He said Bias probably inhaled
the cocaine only minutes before his
heart stopped beating when the
Stress high amoeg jouurpaMsts
From Associated Press reports
LONDON Miners endure the
greatest stress at work and librarians
the least among 150 jobs studied,
researchers at Manchester Universi
ty's Institute of Science and technol
ogy reported Monday.
Professor Cary Cooper, head of
the organizational psychology group
in the department of management
sciences, said a team of occupational
stress researchers ranked 150 jobs for

cocaine interrupted the normal flow
of electrical signals from the brain.
Marshall was accompanied into
the grand jury room Tuesday by
members of his staff and by Michael
Ferriter, the county officer in charge
of the police investigation.
The grand jury will not meet again
to take up the Bias case until July
21.
Meanwhile, two television stations
reported Tuesday that a federal drug
investigation has been underway at
the University of Maryland for the
past six months.
The investigation is said to center
on drugs allegedly sold in a campus
dormitory and may involve athletes,
In the ratings, police ranked
second to miners in job stress. Tied
for third were construction workers,
journalists, civil aviation pilots and
prison guards.
Cooper said it was impossible to
come up with a set of factors to
objectively measure stress because
every occupation has its own way of
manifesting stress from alcoho
lism to divorce, heart disease to
accidents.
"What we decided to do was use

WXYC tower
From staff reports
WXYC, UNC's student-run radio
station, suffered technical problems
that caused it to be off the air three
times over a five-day period this
week.
A brief power outage in the
Carolina Union Saturday created a
power surge when electricity was
restored, damaging equipment vital
to transmission, said disc jockey
Keith Weston. The station was off
the air from around noon until 2

according to reports on WJZ-TV in
Baltimore and WRC TV in
Washington.
Marshall said he was unaware of
any federal investigation and
Breckenridge Willcox, U.S. attorney
for Maryland, did not return calls
made by the Associated Press to his
office.
Marshall said last week that he
expects to call some University of
Maryland officials as well as people
who were in the room with Bias the
night he died to testify before the
grand jury.
He said he is interested in finding
out who might have used illegal drugs

Researchers rated stress on a scale
from 10 to 0.
Miners were rated 8.3, police 7.7 and
the next four jobs construction
workers, journalists, civil aviation
pilots and prison guards rated 7.5.
Stockbrokers were 5.5, higher than
bus drivers at 5.4. Diplomats were

Marshall said he would consider
filing homocide charges if someone
other than Bias was found to be the

Roaches in
Texas vie
for honors
From Associated Press reports
All entries are in for Texas
Largest Cockroach contest, and
the Smithsonian Institution has
requested the winning bug for
display even before the measuring
begins.
More than 200 specimens
dead and alive, in jelly jars and
shoeboxes were entered before
Monday's deadline, said sponsor
Michael Bohdan of the Pest
Shop-Bizzy Bees Pest Control Co.
in Dallas. Contestants were vying
for the $1,000 grand prize.
Sally Love, curator of the insect
zoo at the Smithsonian in
Washington, D.C., said the zoo
already has about four species of
cockroaches, but she was inter
ested in the contest's winner
because of Texas' reputation for
producing bigger and better
breeds.
The Texas judging will be July
11, Bohdan said Tuesday.
A strong contender was
Homer, nabbed in a Texas Wom
an's University kitchenette and
measuring in at about 3 inches.
"I don't know how hell rate
against the other monsters," said
captor Chris Graham. "We've
been fattening him with crackers
and sugar water."
Cindy Bigham, 33, who cap
tured Buster at the Southern
Baptist Convention Annuity
Board meeting, said she made the
catch with an envelope, "when 1
saw it, I said, 'There's a thousand
dollars crawling on the floor.' "
Bohdan said he is keeping the
contestants in his office, feeding
the live roaches daily.
"When this is done ... I plan
lo take a nice long fishing trip and .
exterminate the office," he said.
