Delta Sigma Theta and Alpha Defendants receive $30 rent reduction By LAURIE HARRIS The court awarded apartment possession yesterday to defendants Naomi and Thomas Karow in the third rent strike eviction case brought to trial by Arbor Management. In addition, the six man jury reduced the Karows' rent by $30. In an agreement made Thursday, Arbor Management amended their original charge by reducing the claim $43.69, the sum the Karows had paid to Abbott Oil Co. when their heat did not work. Arbor Management was suing the Karows for back pay- ment of two months' rent, minus the sum allotted for the oil bill, and possession of the premises. Ronald Glotta, counsel for the s] u t rent strike, felt that the full im- plication of the possession decision was not yet known, but was very, satisfied with the verdict. I However, Jack Becker, attorneyg J for Arbor Management, said, "The landlord (Edward Kloian) is en- titled to rent."

LEWIS, Wash. (I) -- Sen- tences ranging from nine-months to six years at hard labor were meted out yesterday to four young soldiers convicted of .mutiny. Pvt. Ricky Dodd, 21, Hayward. was sentenced to six years. Pvt. Harold Swansont19, San Leandro. received a three-year sentence; Pvt. William Hayes, 22, Healds- burg, two years; and Pvt. Edward Yost, 23, Elmira, nine months. The four were convicted of mutiny Thursday for taking part in a sit-down demonstration in the stock~ade at the Presidio in San Francisco last Oct. 14. Four others of the 27 soldiers charged as a result of the dem-! i plained about the work involved and cleaning the co-op. According to Rosen, Oxford living requires that each resident put in six to eight hours per week cooking or: cleaning the house. Room and boarderates are settto include the resident labor and the co-op can- not afford to supply outside help. Because sorority functions de- manded extra time, the girls had' planned to hire a cook. But their request for additional funds were tcrned down since the University mnn io nnfnr d b h divided equally among the housing units in the complex. The situation has been aggra- vated because many of the girl from DST have already left, leav- ing the house with 19 residents The 19 girls cannot carry on the work load designed for the 30 girls the sororities had guaranteed would fill the house.
