a film group. Mediatrics shows on-

KEIFER DENIED that the re-
port's release was timed to re-
spond to the HRP proposal, but
said he had "no idea" why the
report was not issued sooner. He
contended that city officials "re-
fused to publish it" at an earlier
date, but would not say which of-
ficials were involved.

"How can investment fall below

as the creation, of a "black mar-

perienced during the fifties and
sixties, when tenants paid extra
money "under the table". to in-
sure a decentapartment. Shoichet
argued that New York City can't
be compared to Ann Arbor.
Vice President for Student Serv-

organization which uses Univer-
sity facilities must have their ac-
counts audited."I
