By DAVE DALEY Staff Writer Abner Orick likes to tell stories about how, during his previous tenure as a city commissioner, he couldn't drive through East Dayton without someone yelling, "Give 'em hell, Abner!" On Tuesday, East Dayton turned out to vote for Orick, helping him win the Dayton City Commission seat vacated by former commissioner Pat Roach.

Orick, the endorsed Republican, won all eight wards in East and Old North Dayton, plus three others, in rolling up 38.25 percent 8,912 votes of the vote in the special city commission election. He will earn $14,000 a year while finishing out Roach's term, which expires Jan. 3, 1988. Faith Johnson, the endorsed Democrat, came in second with 7,913 votes or 33.96 percent while Dayton school board member Susan Sibbing was a distant third with 4,642 votes or 19.92 percent of the vote.

Sibbing, who ran as an "independent Democrat" after being refused the party's endorsement, carried only one ward, Ward 4 in the city's Lower Riverdale neighborhood. Turnout by city voters for the officially non-partisan election, which included a primary for two other city commission seats as well as the special election to decide Roach's replacement, was 24.46 percent of registered voters, just shy of the 25 percent predicted by election officials. Orick, 45 and the operator of a trophy shop in East Dayton's Belmont neighborhood, expressed surprise at the number of votes Johnson received.

"I'LL BE HONEST with you I didn't expect Faith to come that close," he said. But Orick, who campaigned as an "independent voice" needed to bring some balance to a city commission See ORICK, Page 9.

Stress factors they list include respiratory distress at birth for an hour or more; being the child of a chronically ill mother; or having a mother who went without prenatal care for the first 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Salk surmises that the stress of a difficult birth may somehow traumatize a child. ceive the proceeds at a news conference this morning at the NCR Country Club. BENCH SAID 10 Cincinnati-area young people attending area colleges received scholarships for the 1984-85 year. The proceeds from the Bogie Busters will be added to the scholarship fund, which will be extended to Dayton-area young people attending area colleges beginning next year, he said.

HILL Staff Writer Montgomery County voters on Tuesday barely approved a 2.361-mill human services property tax levy passing the issue by only 0.68 percent more than the 55 percent needed. Complete but unofficial returns showed 28,889 voters approved the tax, and 22,989 voted against it. The 51,878 total votes represent only slightly more than 17 percent of the 303,235 registered voters in the county. Election officials earlier had predicted 50,000 votes would be cast.

"I'm sorry the vote was so low," said Shirley Omietanski, campaign co-chairman and Miami Twp. trustee. "I wish people were more active in making this decision." BUT THE WIN SAVES the county from going for a second try later this year, something supporters were prepared to do if necessary. This was the third of five elections that campaign workers said are needed to roll special-purpose tax levies into two, broad, multi-purpose "human services" levies to benefit the poor, indigent ill, mentally retarded, mentally 111 and children. The turnout Tuesday was especially light in the southern suburbs, traditionally strong supporters of human services levies, noted Thomas Breitenbach, executive vice president of MedAmerica Health Systems, the parent company of Miami Valley Hospital.

There were no other ballot Issues in many of those areas, Breitenbach said. The win, despite the low turnout, indicates it is becoming easier to sell the concept of rolling special interest tax levies into multi-purpose human service levies, Omietanski said.

For Paige E. Mulhollan, joining urban Wright State University as president is more than just a career move. It's a chance to be part of the future. "I think the future of higher education in the next decade is largely going to be at urban institutions," Dr. Mulhollan said.

"I think more and more students see the action, as far as careers are concerned, is in the cities. They can get a head start by attending an urban institution, being familiar with an urban environment, having internship possibilities. 'And I think there are going to be increasingly close connections between cities and public institutions and they're going to succeed together."
