'Sublet with class
That terrific sounding house advertised in the Daily summer sublet
supplement - you know, the one that was "spitting distance" from the
grad library, and offered an upstairs, downstairs maid, spacious
grounds, recommendations from past presidents, negotiable rent (just
call and ask for Rob) - is no longer available. In fact, it never was,
because the dwelling is none other than that of "U" prez Robben
Fleming. Sources revealed yesterday that the ad was placed by nine
wisecracking seniors who split the cost. Mrs. Fleming said they have
received about a dozen inquiries so far. "Some probably knew it was a
hoax," she said, "but some were wondering if it was a campus house
and how it was recommended by past presidents. I told them it was an
error and probably a joke." One of the nine jokesters, who wished to
conceal his identity, said he called Fleming about the ad. "I asked for
Rob," he snickered, "and he said, 'are you calling about the room for
rent?'''
Allen loss will make Republicana
winner
Monday night's City Council meeting was not without the usual
political overtones. One retiring Democratic Councilman, who asked
not to be identified, revealed he had made a $5.00 bet on the outcome of
the too-close-to-call first ward race where incumbent Republican
Wendall Allen faces a tough challenge from Democrat Susan Green-
berg. The Democrat bet a Republican colleague that Allen would lose
by 500 votes. The Republican remained faithful to Allen, however, and
returned the bet - that Allen would lose by 400 votes.

At last!!! Today will be one of the warmest in nearly four months.
Weather experts tell us it will be partly sunny, with the high reaching a
comfortable 46. The low, 20, will be slightly nippy, but it will be worth
the beautiful day we're going to see tomorrow. Mostly sunny is the
forecast for Thursday, the high being 50. Not exactly tanning weather,
but who's complaining? The low tomorrow night will again be 20.

Carter urban plan to aid cities
~ ~
AP News Analysis
WASHINGTON - President Carter's
urban policy: what's in it for you?
Potentially, city parks, neighborhood
health clinics, outdoor art fairs and job
programs.
Those are some of the goals of
President Carter's urban policy
revealed Monday - an 8.3 billion
strategy relying heavily on financial
incentives for business investment in
distressed cities.
But before the Carter policy has any
effect, the spreading programs must
pass Congress. Most will be debated as
.part of the fiscal 1979 budget, which will
be considered this spring and take ef-
fect Oct. 1.
MUCH OF THIS new spending can be
expected to draw criticism on Capitol
Hill. Of the $8.3 billion, $4.4 billion is in
new spending requiring congressional
approval.
Key members of both the House and
Senate have previously indicated they
will study carefully a proposal to create
a national development bank to provide
. ...
subsidies for businesses building or ex-
panding in distressed areas. There also
is concern on the Senate Banking
Committee over a $150 million housing
rehabilitation loan program.
The urban policy's various job
programs, some of which would require
congressional appropriations, are
aimed at the hard-core unemployed and
at youths aged 18 to 24.
CARTER WOULD also make $150
million available for parks, community
basketball courts and swimming pools.
"There are too few parks and
recreation areas in the cities," said
White House domestic adviser Stuart
Eizenstat. "And those that exist are in
an advanced state of decay."
Eizenstat, a former high school
basketball star, says new facilities such
as basketball courts "will break up the
tedium and give kids a useful outlet"
for their energy.
UNDER CARTER'S $20 million
Liveable Cities proposal, grants from
the National Endowment for the Arts
could finance neighborhood arts groups
and underwrite projects such as out-
door art fairs.
In Atlanta, Liveable Cities money
already is paying for a program to
paint murals on city buildings.
Such efforts are relatively inexpen-
sive - compared with the billion-dollar
public works program or $1.5 billion in
business-stimulating tax credits Carter
proposed Monday - but they are in-
tegral parts of his effort to make cities
"a more attractive place to live and
work."
CARTER ALSO expressed hope the
federal government can help "marshal
the thousands of Americans who want
to contribute their time and energy" to
neighborhood improvements. .
ACTION, the federal volunteer agen-
cy, wants $40 million to match the needs
of neighborhood groups and volunteers-
with special skills, an attorney or a
carpenter, for example. The agency
also would provide grants averaging
about $5,000 to neighborhood groups for
"dress up" projects. The money would
pay for equipment such as paint and
brushes, or trees and sidewalk flower
beds.
A $15 million HUD program would
directly, aid neighborhood;
rehabilitation groups in addition to the
proposed $150 million for housing
rehabiliation loans.
A $50 MILLION Community Health
Center proposal would finance clinics in
poor urban neighborhoods- lacking
adequate medical care.
A $150 million proposal would provide
the first spending increase since 1974
for social service programs - such as
day care for working mothers,and
Meals on Wheels for elderly.
Some $200 million of new mass transit
money would be earmarked for
providing bus connections "from the
point where current mass transit routes
end to where the jobs are," Eizenstat
said.
A full-grown cheetah weighs from
90 to 130 pounds and measures about
six-and-a-half feet from its nose to
the tip of its tail. Unlike other big
cats, cheetahs can purr.

Watchin' the river flow
As spring reluctantly makes its way to Ann Arbor, it will be harder to resist
skipping stones into the Huron River when faced with writing that final paper. This
woman made the logical choice yesterday, and took in the sun on a bridge over the
Huron.
