10-Wednesday April,16, 1980-The Michigan Daily 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. 01 A 2 development corp. to issue first bonds 0 v 1 a 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 SAT rules changed (Continued from Page 3) 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.

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 Do a Tree a Favor: Recycle Your Daily 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.

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.
