In an interview with The As-
sociated Press a week ago, the
younger Muhammad declined
to discuss the future of the
Black Muslims in the event of
his father's death.
Muhammad Ali, one of the
most well known of the Black
Muslim members, was en route
to Chicago.
MUHAMMAD was born in;
Georgia as Elijah Poole. Hisj
family moved to Detroit in the
1930s and there Poole met W.D.
Fard, founder of the Temple
of Islam, whose members were
called Muslims.
Muhammad erected the sect's
first temple in Detroit and in
1934 moved to Chicago's South
Side where he built Mosque No.
2. There are now 79 temples in
more than 70 cities.
Business properties include!
thousands of acres of farmland
and herds of cattle in Michigan,
Georgia and Alabama.
IN CHICAGO alone, there are
two Muslim restaurants, a sup-
ermarket, a clothing store, dry
cleaner, baker and several oth-
er enterprises like the weekly

mad Speaks," which is peddled

the past six months and expects
a total of $149,000 by this fiscal!
year's end according to city re-
cords.
Fine money from tickets goes
to the City of Ann Arbor. The
city expects to collect about
$670,000 this fiscal year from
parking violations according to
city records.
LAST MONTH some 23,000!
parking tickets were issued
throughout the city. "We don't
look at the number as success,"
explained Ann Arbor Police
Captain Robert Conn in defense,
of the tickets issued.
Conn claimed that changes;
in regulations could be made if!
the majority citizens .wanted
them, adding, "We need that,
feedback."
However changes in campus.
parking can not be made,
claimed Robert Wagner, an of-
ficial in the University's Traf-
fic Operations Bureau. "The
University can not afford to
build a parking structure and
it is also ecologically imprac-
tical," he added.
"THE REAL intent and pur-
pose for University parking is
for the faculty and staff. The
students and part time em-
dloves have to depend on the
University transportation serv-
ices." stated Wagner pointing
out that building a parking
structure would cost $3,500 per
space.
"We're trying to give the
students a break," he said. City!

SEVEN DAYS after a ticket
has been issued, the fine is
raised. 45 days later a warrant
notice is sent out. After another!
45 days a warrant for arrest is
placed and with 10 or more out-
standing tickets, the car is;
towed and impounded, said+
Warrant Officer Goebel.
Persons with warrants are
"not nearly as actively sought
after as used to be," said Goe-
bel explaining "there are not
enough employes to handle the
job one reason being the finan-
cial state of the city."
Individuals usually comply
with warrants, Goebel declared.
City records show that $13,237
has been collected from war-
rants this past six months, $8,-
737 more than the city expected
for the entire fiscal year.
GOEBEL said, "The city,
however, does not want to
create any unnecessary hard-
ships on citizens. It is the re-
sponsibility of the individual to
attend to his tickets."
Fines can be negotiated at
the traffic violations bureau in
City Hall or the University's
Traffic Operation Bureau if
there is just cause based on
the court employe's criteria.
Failure to set a parking
brake violates state law how-
ever Goebel pointed out it is
rarely enforced - about 4 times
a year.
