On Monday the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority (AATA) will begin using a new service structure based on expanded route service and the elimination of daytime dial- a-ride service to the general public. This new system is a result of a long AATA technical study and years of often bitter controversy. The study culminated in the Board's approval of its long term "A990 Plan" last February. BOARD MEMBERS said the plan is intended to be more cost effective and provide more complete service than the previous dial-a-ride system. The changes represent a more rapid transition toward emphasis on fixed routes, but budget constraints have prevented the total expansion of service envisioned in the "1990 plan." Next week is free fare week in order to "allow people to experiment with the system without being penalized in a costly way," according to AATA Executive Director Richard Simonetta. AMONG THE CHANGES, fares will increase from 35 cen- ts to 50 cents for the general public, and will be half price (25 cents) for elderly, handicapped, and low income passengers. Discounts will be available through the purchase of 20 tokens at 35 cents each, so there will be no fare increase for regular riders. The monthly pass, which offers unlimited rides for $10 will be eliminated. This means an increased cost for those who ride several times a day, according to Board members and University lecturer Joel Samoff. But, he added, for those who ride a few times a week, this change from monthly pass to tokens is advantageous because tokens can be saved while a pass runs out. Fixed bus routes will increase from five to 10 lines, and service will be availble from 6:10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. Buses will run every 15-30 minutes. Other changes include: " Elderly and handicapped dial-a-ride service in Ann Ar- bor from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Previously the elderly were in- cluded in the general public. " General public dial-a-ride service in Ann Arbor from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weeknights, and 8:15 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. on Sundays. Previously dial-a-ride was available to the public on weekdays and on Saturday., * Dial-a-ride service outside of Washtenaw County on weekdays and on Saturday: * One fare for all segments of the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti system. Previously a second fare was charged for transfer rides. " Certification of elderly (over 60), handicapped, and low income passengers is required to obtain an ID card. For the elderly this is provided through a doctor or health agency, and for low income riders through the Department of Social Services. Previously, a self-declaration system was used.,' MONDAY'S CHANGES will include a slight reduction -in the amount of service hours because of budget constraints, according to AATA Planning Coordinator Tom Hackley. "We have to plan the system according to the money available," said Hackley. "The total budget hasn't in- creased, we have no reserve to draw from, and we have in flationary costs." Each year AATA is allocated a fixed amount of federal money and it! the past a reserve accumulated because AATA didn't use all of it, according to Hackley. However, last year Hackley said there was a deficit and AATA used all its reserve funds which consisted of $300,000-$400,000. HOWEVER, AATA Executive Director Richard Simonet- ta said the changes could not be considered a cut in service because there is no way to make comparisons between the systems. "If you cut the hours of service, but carry the same amount of people, this is not a cut, but a shifting of services to more productively serve the public," said Simonetta. Despite its cost effectiveness, some citizens protested the changes at the board meeting last week. AATA OFFICIALS acknowledge that four per cent of-the population are not within "reasonable access" (within four blocks) of service. Monica Schteingart lives in the Geddes-Washtenaw area, near the Huron River and- is among this four per cent. Blasting AATA, she said she is "very committed to public transportation and believes it's a basic right of citizens," and she said she is "being discriminated against." Another shift in the 1990 plan was the switch from fixed routes, which Board members said was supposed to be a "phased" transition. AATA officials, however, decided to implement one major change instead. The high cost of phasing was the "driving force in fhe decision," according to Simonetta. "The authority had' to realize economies, and it couldn't afford phasing without drastic cuts in service," he said. After studying other transit industry experiences, AATA found phasing is more difficult because it's harder to manage several small changes than one major one, Simonetta said. Trust in economy declines mm" I By BETH ROSENBERG Nation-wide declines in consumer confidence in the U.S. economy will continue through 1979 and into the early 1980s, causing lower consumer sales - especially of cars and other large items - according to the latest quarterly Survey of Consumer Attitudes by the University's Survey Research Center. The survey showed a widespread decline during the past year due to greater public awareness of the slowdown, in the economy and heightened fears of unemployment. "PEOPLE ARE shifting their con- cern from inflation toward unem- ployment as the hardest economic problem facing the nation," said Dr. Richard Curtin, survey director and University Economics professor. "(But) more are concerned with in- flation right now." More families reported they were worse off financially during the May- August quarter studied in the survey, while more families said they expected to be worse off financially in a year, The study also found confidence in government economic policies to fight inflation and unemployment remained near the lowest level ever recorded. Buying attitudes towards automobiles were largely unchanged from May, but below last year's leevels. In August, 38 per cent of all families rated buying conditions good for cars, compared with 39 per cent in May and 40 per cent a year ago. Rising interest rates may have influenced the figures, the study said.- Go Ape with Your Camera in Photo Contest!.

Pap al visit stats, toda in Ire land From UPI and Reuter DUBLIN, Ireland - Ireland put in motion yesterday the biggest transpor- tation operation in its history for the visit of Pope John Paul II, the only man who will be able to get around Ireland easily this weekend. Nearly every Irishman in this nation of 3.2 million people, 94 per cent Roman Catholic, seemed to be planning to at- tend one of the pope's five major public masses, so plans to handle the throngs bordered on the incredible. Extremely tight security precau- tions, the most extensive Ireland has ever seen, were meshed with the trans-, portation arrangements. MORE THAN 250,000 Catholics were expected to cross the border to see the Pope. Most of them will travel in char- tered buses and special security precautions were in force as the first buses passed through the predominan- tly-Protestant towns en route to the Irish Republic. ALl police leave was cancelled and extra troops were moved to potential trouble spots along the border as the exodus began. Catholic priests privately briefed the pilgrims not to display papal flags or Catholic emblems on their journey to the border.l THE MICHIGAN DAILY (USPS 344-900) Volume LXXXX, No.21 Saturday, September 29, 1979 is edited and managed by students at the University of Michigan.

"WHAT MANNER OF CHILD SHALL THIS BE!" So said the people throughout all the hill country of Judea when John the Baptist was born. What manner of people will these myriads of millions of young people now entering schools turn out to be? "And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and sat him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say untoyou, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.-But whoso shall offend one of these lit- tle ones which believe in Me. 'IT WERE BETTER FOR HIM THAT A MILL STONE WERE HANGED ABOUT HIS NECK, AND THAT HE WERE DROWNED IN THE. DEPTH OF THE SEA"-Matthew 18:2. Over seventy years ago a young man sat in a class at a university and heard an eminent Doctor Professor say the prominent doctor, for the boy seemed to "smell a rat," or the odor of hypocrisy and asked himself: "What is he doing in the church and a prominent officer in his denomination? Why don't he get out?" For his own profit, and for that of any he might have the opportunity to influence, later on he undertook to make an analysis of these two men. This analysis was suggested by a question God asked Job-Job 38:4, etc.: 'Where were you when I laid the foun- dations of the world-when morning stars sang together-and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" The younger of these two men was probably in his late twen- ties: so, where was he just about 30 years before! He was in his father's loins-rather difficult to Imagine what he looked like then! 29 years ago he was in his mother's womb;:28 years ago he was a helpless little baby, unconscious of being alive, and unable to utter intelligent speech. About 27 years ago he was still a helpless infant but beginning to say: What's this? what's that? why this?' why that? etc. Marvel of marvels, however, for in a little more than a score of years, he Is sitting I I
