Ladies of the evening shy away
from Fourth Avenue businesses

Page Three

By KEITH B. RICIBURG
Fourth Avenue just ain't what she used to be
especially on a Friday night.
On any other night, let alone a weekend, the
ladies of the evening would have congregated at
their favorite meeting spot - in front of the
,apitol Market - sometime between sundown
and the first stroke of nine-o'clock. And the
Fourth Avenue ladies, not being a passive lot,
would not even wait arouni to be solicited by
some balding, middle aged John. No, they would
ba actively seeking their customers, offering
their services to any of the passersby.
NOW, all that has changed.
The noticeable difference on Fourth Avenue
is a direct result of the Ann Arbor Police crack-
down on prostitution, which culminated in "the
big bust" a few weeks ago. And it wasn't just
any bust, as one of the local merchants attested.
Ordinarily, it's "just not that big a deal to get
busted.'
What was the difference between this bust
and the routine bookings? "This one was really
discreet," says another local Fourth Avenue
businessmen, whose establishment is open until
three a.m. "I didn't even know about it until I
read it in the paper the next morning."

THIS IS a far cry from the police depart-
ment's previous attitude towards Fourth Avenue
prostitution, a "look-the-other-way" attitude
which prompted one merchant to say "the cops
just don't do anything!"
"The women all know the cops, they know the
unmarked cars and they know the plainclothes-
man," the businessman, who asked to remain
unidentified, said.
Whatever the reason for the new police hard
line attitude, most of the Fourth Avenue busi-
nesses are glad to be rid of pavement princesses,
Most saw the open prostitution as hurting their
own "legitimate" enterprises.
"(The bust) hasn't hurt business, it's helped,"
says the proprietor of the Fourth Avenue Adult
bookstore, dealers of "the largest selection of
8 mm and super S party films." "It encourages
more people to come down here."
HE SAID that it wasn't "quiet" prostitution,
but "rather noisy."
"They'd open the car door for you," he added.
"I'm glad to see the problem alleviated."
Another happy businessman is a dealer in
similar pleasures of the flesh, an escort service
near the Fourth Avenue bookstore. "It's good

AFSCME wil vote toda
By SUE WARNER
As the results of yesterday's American Federation of State,
(atty and Municipal Employes (AFSCME, Local 1583) election
eas.w to trickle in last night, Neva Middleton, Election Committee
(iairman, predicted voter turnout would be "pretty good all over."
Union employes voted in seven different work areas including
di Flint and Dearborn campuses.
This year, AFSCME members were not allowed to vote during
'thing hours. Middleton felt this new stipulation would "definite-
a hiie in effect on voter turnout, but it has been good considering
': (union members) had to vote on their own time."
MIIDDLETON WOULD not speculate on final vote results until
and her committee were able to tabulate results and check for
sible voter fraud.

it's votes are cast, closed its polls at 10:30 p.m., and Middleton

suffered on August 15, 1975.
DOCTOR Goodenday testified
that a nurse,was at McCrery's
bedside when the patient suffer-
ed his breathing failure. "When
I came in, it looked as though
she might have been talking to
the patient," the doctor said.
Goodenday went on to describe
how she came to realize the pa-
tient was "having trouble
breating," and how she ordered
the nurse to go for help.
"I looked around and the
nurse hadn't moved," Gooden-
day said., "She appeared frozen
and didn't move."
THE DOCTOR described the
nurse's expression as "looking
as though she didn't know what
to do." Goodenday said that
nurse's mouth was open and her
eyebrows raised.
"I had assumed the person
was a trained intensive care
nurse. Most would have respond-
ed instantly."
When asked by Assistant U.S,
Attorney R i c h a r d Yanko to
identify the nurse, Dr Gooden-
day replied, "I don't think I
saw her that clearly." The wit-
ness described the unidentified
nurse as five feet four inches

ENJOYING a sport considered not only chic, but
healthy as well, John Ballard jogs near the intersection
of Oakland and Tappan Streets,
Jogging-popular
in all walks of lfe
By DENISE FOX
Oblivious to city traffic, David Laib rounds one more
corner, and heads for home. Dressed in a pair of gym
shorts, and dripping with sweat, Laib finishes his daily jog.
Laib, a junior who has been jogging since his high school
years; said, "When you jog, you feel better about your-
self." In fact, one might get the impression from his conver-
sation that jogging elicits a certain high.
LAIB IS ONLY one of several varieties of joggers. Some
jog for health reasons, others are addicted to "high", some
just like to run.
Some prefer to run indoors, not only to avoid Michigas
weather, but because they like to know the distance they've
run. They say they are not distracted by their surround
ings (or the weather), and can concentrate on groig
around and around and around . . .
Arid then there's Bob Beel a Itsiness giadltte stu-
dent. He says, "All I think of is the walls rnd hoiw many
times I've gone around."
HEEL SAID HE prefers the grert routdoors because he
likes to not know just how far he has run. He admits thare's
also sonething attractive abtiut his surroundings.
Althirugh there are many people who jog to stay (or git)
