BELIEVED MAN LONEL Y BEING
'rench existentialist dies
of his most essential faculty: he was
nearly blind. "I see lines and spaces
between words," he told an interviewer
in 1975, "but I cannot distinguish the
words. I can no longer read or write.
"There is nothing I can do about it, so
there is no need to feel sad," he said.
"All I can do is adjust to what I am,
evaluate my possibilities and make the
best of them."
WITH BEAUVOIR'S help, he con-
tinued to keep a diary. But he regarded
his literary career as over. The fourth
and final volume of his monumental
biography of the 19th century French
writer Gustave Flaubert remained un-
finished.
His earlier achievements made Sar-
tre a legend in his lifetime, one of the
most prestigious playwrights and
novelists in the French language and an
impassioned - though often ineffectual
- defender of what he saw as justice.
"It's (Sartre's death) kind of the end
of a generagiton," University French
Prof. Roy Nelson said, referring to a
"clan" with whom Sartre associated
including Camus, Malleaux, and his
companion de Beauvoir.
Although a "man of leftist political
conviction," Sartre opposed the Soviet
pact with Hitler to invade Poland,
Nelson added.
Reconciled with the communists af-
ter the Nazi invasion of Russia, he
became a member of the communist-
led underground National Writers'
Committee and wrote a play called Les
Mouches (The Flies).
In 1947, Sartre again broke with the
communists after discovering the reign
of terror imposed on the Soviet Union
by the late dictator Josef Stalin.

A 2 development corp.

BY JOHN GOYER
For the first time in its nearly two
years of existence, Ann Arbor's
Economic Development Corporation
(EDC( has authorized the issue of low-
interest, tax-free bonds to finance two
development projects here.
The 'first two projects to clear the
EDC's complete approval process are:
" Ann Arbor Computer Corporation's
plans to build a plant containing com-
puter assembly and office space on
Ellsworth Road next to Industrial
Park;
* The proposed renovation into retail
space of the Godfrey Warehouse at 410
Fourth Avenue, just to the west of
Kerrytown.
ANN ARBOR Computer will design,
fabricate, program, install and test
computer systems for the control of
machinery from its new plant, just as it
does not at its plant at 415 W. Huron.
The firtm will expand its workforce
from 40 to 60 employees over the next
four years, according to documents the
company submitted to EDC.
Ann Arbor computer received
authorization from the EDC yesterday
to borrow 1870.,000 through the sale of
low-interest, tax-exempt bonds.
National Bank of Detroit, which has a
longstanding relationship with Jervbis
B. Webb Co. the computer company's
parent firm will buy the blinds at 6.5 per
cent, according to Peter Long, bond
counsel to the EDC.
A GROUP of investors calling them-
selves the 410-Four Partnership will
renovate and rent as retail sapace the
81-year-old Godfrey Warehouse at 410
Fourth St., using $400,000 borrowed
through EDC bonds.
National Bank of Detroit, Ann ARbor
Bank and Trust Company and the Ann
Arbor Trust Company will band
together to buy the EDC bonds for the
project at about 12 per cent, Long said.
Jervis Webb's long relationship with
the detroit bank and the fact that the
bonds were slated to be bought some
time ago. - before interest rates sky-
rocketed - accound for the difference
in rates for the two bond issues, Long
said.
The nine-member EDC board
authorized the issue of the bonds
yesterday morning at its regular mon-
thly meeting.
Volcano
shakes
b
VANCOUVER,. Wash. (AP)-Additional strong
earthquakes shook Mount St. Helens yesterday, and
U.S. Geological Survey scientists planned a heavy
schedule of observations of the volcano
today-weather permitting-a spokesman said
yesterday.
Six earthquakes stronger than 4.0 on the Richter
scale were recorded in the 25-hour period ending at 10
a.m. yesterday, said Don Finley. Though there was a
slight decrease in the number of smaller quakes
recorded, he said the rate of seismic energy released
remains essentially the same.
Clouds prevented visual observations of the
mountain yesterday. For today, scientists planned
visual observations, gas and ash sampling, and new
measurements of ground tilt if skies were clear, said
Finley

finalized, students will also have the opportunity to record
their answers in the test booklets at the time of the
examination. Holloway explained that the students will
turn in these booklets to the school, and when the results are
reporteld, the booklets will be returned so the students can
check their answers.
University Director of Admissions Cliff Sjogren said
these changes will not cause more emphasis to be placed on
the college admissions tests when applicants are con-
sidered. "We support the College Board's move to de-
mystify the whole process," he said, "but the tests will
become no more important (in the admissions
procedure)."
SJOGREN SAID the University considers the student's
high school record the best indicator of how well the student
will perform at the University.
College Board also plans to establish a panel to mediate
disputes over test clarity and security.

campus is intermingled with its town -
Evanston, Ill. - with no clear dividing
line between town and campus. Also,
NU, like the University, owns a large
percentage of the land in town.
"WE DON'T pay property taxes,"
said Doris Walker, director of NU's of-
fice of off-campus housing. "This works
a hardship on the town people," she ex-
plained, because private land owners
have to pay more in taxes to make up
for the losses due to tax-free University
property.
At least half of NU students live off
campus. Similar to the University, NU
h~s a shortage of dormitory space and
students compete for the available
spaces through a lottery system.
At the University of California at
Berkeley, off-campus housing prices

are comparable to prices here. In the
town of Berkeley, the vacancy rate is
less than one per cent. The town is
currently operating under an interim
rent control measure. Landlords are
prohibited by law from raising rent
more than five per cent per year, and
any increase must be justified by in-
creased costs.
THE BERKELEY campus, also
blends into the town. Well over half of
the student body lives in off-campus
apartments, and one Berkeley em-
ployee described the rental housing
available to students as ."slightly
seedy."
At nearby Eastern Michigan Univer-
sity in Ypsilanti, less than one fifth of
the students live in dormitories.
There's plenty of off-campus housing
less than half a block from the univer-
sity and rent is considerably cheaper
than in Ann Arbor. Students pay about
$250-$300 for a furnished two bedroom,
four-persona apartment.
IN EAST LANSING, 23,000 Michigan
State University students, about half of
the total enrollment, live off campus.
MSU's campus is separated from the
town of East Lansing, but according to
Lyle Thorburn, a spokesman from the
MSU housing office, "a lot of housing is
close (to campus) or on a bus line."
Estimates weren't available for a two-
bedroom apartment, but a one-
bedroom apartment rents for between
$200 and $260 per month.
Ohio State University, where almost
80 per cent of the student body lives off
campus, had the cheapest rents among
the schools surveyed. The average
price for a one-bedroom apartment is
about $166 and a two-bedroom is about
$205. Most of the housing is within
walking distance of the campus, and
many units are unfurnished.

At Purdue University about half of
the student body lives off campus. Of
that population only about half live
within walking distance and the others
must drive to campus. The average
price of an unfurnished two-bedroom
apartment is between $200-$250 per
month and a furnished apartment
ranges from $250-$300 per month.
At Harvard University more than
half of the student body lives off-
campus in rental units in the nearby
town of Cambridge, Mass. Rent rates
start at $225 for a studio apartment to
more than $400 per month for a three-
bedroom. Most of the student housing is
.within walking distance of the Harvard
campus.
