juries, but one rbsident, sopho-,
more Hugh Allerton, was treated
fo mild smoke inhalation by
firefighters after attempting to
squelch the blaze with extin-
Sguishers.
The room belonged to fresh-
person Allison Eisenberg, who
was down the hall when the fire
began,
"I didn't know it was my room
until after the fire alarm sound-
ed, and then Z just left the build-
ing."' she said.r

Third Ward), "have had to do
with either personnel or real es-
tat. matters, and those are still
Q.K., even under the act."
The only provision of the bill
that may affect city government
is the requirem entthat the pub-
lic Ise notified not less titan .18
hours before a special meeting
of Council or one of the con-
missions. Since it is a state law,
it would nullify a section of the
City C~larter allowving the mayolr
or any three Council members
to calla special meeting on only
three hours notice.
"WE'LL HAVE to modify our
special meetings provision,
which could be a problem in an
emergency situation," said Hen-
ry. "If it did happen, what could
we do?"
The bill does not specify
whether or not political caucus-
es will have to be opened to the
public. In ' a memo distributed
to Council and commission
members, City Attorney Bruce
Laidlaw said he believes theract
does not apply to caucuses.
While the wbill includes penal-
ties for violation of the law,
including a fine of $1,000 for
a first offense and $2,000 or a
year in jail for the second of-
fense -- Council members still
view the difficulties of enforce-
ment as a major drawback.
THE LAW specifically states
that it does not apply to "a
neeting which is a social or
chance gathering or conference
not designed to avoid this act."
Some Council members feel that
this clause makes the law easy
to circumvent.
"You can't legislate morality,"
said member Elizabeth Keogh,
(D-First Ward). "The way peo-
ple use the law will have a lot
to do with its effect. It's very
easy to get around. If people
start making a farce out of it,
say by demanding stacks of
Xerox copies of things, you can
bet that I'm going to start hav-
ing a lot of parties at my
house."
Added Bertoia: "I think it's
a good idea. But it's going to
require a lot of enforcement,
and I don't really see how it's
going to be done. I think that
99 ier cent of the cties and

towns are going to keep on:do-
m ig just what they have been
all along. Only the towns like

the proposed changes.
