On the two-year anniversary of The September 29th Movement, Allan Nosworthy is in the hospital.

During the sixth day of his hunger strike, Nosworthy, chairman of The September 29th Movement’s central committee, was taken to Mary Greeley Medical Center late Saturday afternoon.

Milton McGriff, Movement spokesman, said Nosworthy was alert when two people took him to the hospital. McGriff said Nosworthy was complaining of stomach pains.

He said he does not know if Nosworthy is being fed at the hospital.

“I can’t confirm whether he’s eating or not,” McGriff said.

Xavier Allen, a member of the Movement, spoke to Nosworthy Sunday. He said Nosworthy is doing well and may be released today.

Hospital officials reported Sunday Nosworthy was in stable condition.

McGriff said Nosworthy “vowed to strike until Iowa State President Martin Jischke agrees in writing to meet with a conflict resolution expert and negotiate eight requests in good faith.”

“The Movement has been trying for 13 months to meet with Jischke,” McGriff said, “But we will not consent to an audience in which he unilaterally makes decisions and continues to ignore us.”

University administrators said they have tried to contact Nosworthy but have been unable to reach him.

“We’ve made an attempt to visit with him,” Thomas Hill, vice president for student affairs, said. “He’s not taking any calls. … As we try to contact him, they tell us to get in touch with Milton.”

“We continue to be concerned about him and we’ve offered services [such as Student Health services] and we’ll do what we can to assist, but that’s about as much as we can do,” Hill said.

Dr. Mark Blaedel, director of the Student Health Center, said he met with Nosworthy on Friday.

He tried to call him at the hospital, but Nosworthy was not taking phone calls.

He said he left a message with McGriff, as the nurses directed him to do, asking Nosworthy to let him know if there is anything he can do.

John McCarroll, director of university relations, said Jischke sent Nosworthy a letter last week expressing concern for Nosworthy’s health.

Jischke was not able to be reached for comment despite repeat calls to the Knoll on Sunday.

Nosworthy was not taking phone calls or seeing visitors Sunday.

The Movement will hold a news conference today at 11:30 a.m. The political plays scheduled for today at Catt Hall have been cancelled.
