It is one of the prices you pay. to function in a University town," Welch added. Elaine Daley, vice-president of the campus division of McKinley Associates, claims ' it costs the mangement firm more than $600 each time they go to court. "Many times, an' owner will settle because it is cheaper," she said. Simonian and Feldman settled with Village Green for a package deal worth some $2,700, including $1,350 in cash, a $5 per month rent reduction, free rent for December and half of January, and an early expiration date for the lease. According to the settlement, Village Green kept the $150 security deposit and agreed to fix the shower. The tenants agreed to resume paying rent and promised not to organize or represent any tenants against Village Green in the future. "This certainly wasn't the easiest way to settle this, but we can live with it because we were compensated," Simonian said. Landlords or tenants may file a civil suit at City Hall. The complainant fills out a form specifying the complaint and the party the complaint is registered against. A date is set for a hearing at which the trial is scheduled.- At the first hearing the judge reads for the record the charges and counter- charges. The tenants are instructed of their rights and officially asked whether they wish to consult with a lawyer. "In court, we advise them on the record that they have the right to a lawyer without charge if needed. At each stage of the proceedings we protect the rights of the. (tenant)," Elden said. The attorney from either side may request that the rent money be placed in the care of the court. The tenant may be ordered to pay all or part of the rent to the court instead of the landlord. This is considered a "good faith gesture," meaning the tenants are willing and able to pay their rent. Simonian and Feldman represented themselves in their civil suit, but tenants and landlords are usualy represented by attorneys at the pre- trial hearings. "There is a unique system here in Washtenaw County. There are a number of regal assistance facilities," said Judge Elden. Student tenants can obtain free advice and legal aid at the University office for Student Legal Services, located in the Michigan Union, Model Cities Law Office, 122 N. 4th Avenue and the Clinical Law Programs. in the University's Law School., "Six to eight attorneys handle most of the landlord-tenant cases. By and larlge they (landlords) don't represent themselves," he said. Among the attorneys who commonly represent local landlords are: Graydon Ellis, Jr., who represented McKinley Associates in nearly 1,000 landlord- tenant civil suits since 1974 and who has three rental properties managed by the company; J. Michael Forskthye, who in the past has represented such landlords as Frankel Management Co., Wilson- White Co., University Townhouses, Nob Hill Stadium. Properties, Liberty Limited 500, Forest Hill Coop, Old Twon Realty, Pheasant Run Apts. Management, Village Green, and private landlord Neil Snook; and Melinda Morris, of the same law firm s Forsthye, who represented Village Green in the Simonian and Feldman shower case. Elden and others recommend that a tenant move in and sign a lease before complaining about the conditions. "The best thing before (signing) is not to complain too much, the landlord will consideryou a troublemakerand you can lose the dwelling," said Jonathan Rose, anattorney at Student Legal Services. But once living in the dwelling, the tenant is not forced to take it "as is." "The tenant doesn't waive his right to repairs, the statuatory covenant to fitness applies," said Elden.- Rose agreed: "The tenant has less rights than he needs, but more rights than he knows." Elden claims "widsom" is to record everything in writing and tell the landlord. "Whenever you move in or out, go through the dwelling with your landlord. A tenant can not claim damages unles a landlord is given a chance to fix it, and keep everything in writing," said Elden. Once in court, the problem the tenant usually faces is lack of evidence. "The most common is failure to produce records. People pay cash and there are no receipts," said Elden. Smaller cases, usually occurring after the expiration of the lease and often invoving security deposits, can be resolved in the Small Claims Court. This court is different becausae there is a $300 limit, no attorneys are allowed, there are neither juries nor appeals, and it usually a "one-time affair," according to Elden.

"Separation is dangerous because groups become isolated from each other." Peterson pointed out that most em- ployers will train graduates to perform tasks on the job. The 1980s will be a time when universities and colleges will ex- pand their continuing education programs to train people once they have entered the job market, he said. The job outlook for Ph.D. graduates in the arts and humanities will be bleak' for the next several years, Peterson added. "The competition for jobs in these areas is increasing," he said, "and universities have to adjust to the fact that many graduates will not be going into academic fields." Shapiro said it is the university's responsibility to inform students en- tering these fields about their em- ployment chances after graduation. He continued to say, however, that it is not the University's obligation to direct students away from entering non- marketable fields. Although the market for the humanities and education fields will be tight over the next several years, Shapiro predicted that in the late 1980s, when many older professors will retire, the job market would loosen up. Berger agreed with Shapiro's views, and added that the number of people entering the teaching field is declining and there could be a shortage of qualified professors towards the end of the decade. "There are currently shortages of teachers in the math, science, and special education fields, especially on the secondary and pre-secondary level," he noted. "We're always getting calls from schools looking for people to teach in these areas." Berger also said universities are educating undergraduates to be doctors and lawyers although there is heavy demand for qualified students in other fields, such as the public health professions. Universities have to ex- pose students to these other fields, said Berger. According to Peterson, acidemicians who do not find employment at a university have the option of working for private research firms and non- profit organizations. He said univer- sities have been so successful at educating scholars that they have not only created their own competition, but also provided new employment alter- natives for their students.

Compiled from Associated Press and United Press international reports Hostage's mother tried visit Barbara Timm, mother of one of the 50 U.S. hostages in Iran defied President Carter's ban on travel to Iran and left for Tehran yesterday in an attempt to see her son. Timm and her husband Kenneth received visas from the Iranian Embassy in Paris, flew to Frankfurt, West Germany on a West German plane and then took off for Tehran without getting off the plane. In Iran, President Abolhassan Bani-Sadr,treacting to Carter's hints that he might order a blockade or mining of Iranian ports, told Iran's news agency, "We shall provide the means of resistance." But at the same time, clashes were reported between Moslem and leftist students in the northern town of Babolsar, following an ordered crackdown on leftist groups at Iranian universities by the ruling Revolutionary Council. Christian nta men kill two U.N. soldiers in Lebanon BERIUT, Lebanon-Christian militamen killed two Irish soldiers of the U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon yesterday after seizing five United Nations representatives and two Associated Press newsmen, a U.N. spokesman reported. Yesterday was the deadline for a demand issued by a leader of the militiamen-rebel Lebanese army Maj. Saad Haddad-that the villagers in Tiri kill and hand over the bodies of two Irish U.N. soldiers or pay about $13,000 blood money to compensate for the deaths of two militiamen fighting in the village last Saturday. Lance bank fraud trial ends ATLANTA-Attorneys for Bert Lance and his three co-defendants made their closing arguments yesterday and appealed to the federal court jury in the bank fraud case to acquit all four defendants. Lance, Richard Carr, and Jack Mullins face charges of misapplication of bank funds in connection with loans Lance made when president of the Calhous, Ga. First National Bank and the National Bank of Georgia in Atlanta. They, and a fourth defendant, Thomas Mitchell, are also charged with making false statements to banks. There are a total of 19 counts for the jury to consider, 12 of which charge Lance with a crime. If convicted he could be sentenced to 54 years in prison and fined up to $60,000. Trial opens on five former Dade County police officers TAMPA, Fla.-Black insuranceman Artur McDuffie was the helpless victim of a "one-sided war" as policemen reached over each other to pound him unconscious with clubs and fists, a prosecutor said yesterday in opening arguments inthe trial of five former Dade County police officers. All five are white. According to state attorney George Yoss, officers chased McDuffie down in a high-speed chase after he ran a stop sign on a motorcycle, then repeatedly struck him. McDuffie died in a coma four days after the December 17 incident. Begin says Israel holding firm on autonomy issues TEL AVIV, Israel-Prime Minister Menachem Begin returned Friday from talks with President Carter in Washington and said Israel's position was unchanged on the status of Jerusalem, the retention of Israeli control of security in the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River, and limitation of the powers of a Palestinian autonomous council. As Begin was flying home, Israeli troops raided a Palestinian guerrilla base on the Lebanese coast in what was regarded as retaliation for last week's terrorist attack on Kibbutz Misgav Am that killed three Israelis. Israel said two of its soldiers were killed in yesterday's attack, but Beirut reports said as many as 20 Palestinians were killed. Taiwan convicts dissidents TAIPEL, Taiwan-A military court yesterday convicted eight promi- nent dissidents of plotting to overthrow the Chinese Nationalist government and sentenced them to prison terms ranging from 12 years to life, ending one of the most celebrated political trials in recent Taiwan history. The defendants included well-known Taiwanese dissenter Shih Ming- teh, who received the lone life sentecne; national legislator Huang Hsin- Chieh; and the island's leading feminist, Lu Hsu-lien. Louisiana swept by floods Thunderstorms rolled over the central Gulf Coast yesterday, dumping new rains on floodswept Louisiana and battering the New Orleans area with hail the size of golfballs. The Pearl River was .receeding slightly in Louisiana's St.Tammany Parish but water continued to slosh through dozens of homes. The flood damage estimate elsewhere in southeast Louisiana was nearing the $200 million mark. New thunderstorms prompted St. Tammany officials to revise their estimate of how long it would take for the water to clear. Earlier, officials predicted the Pearl River would recede substantially during the weekend, however it is now expected to hold for three to five days. I 0 Do a Tree a Favor: Recycle.
