Ma Bell closing its
Huron street store
By JENNIFER MILLER
Michigan Bell will close its Huron
street Phone Center Store Nov. 13, but
Bell officials say students won't have to
go to Briarwood Mall, where the store is
reopening, to pick up new phones.
The move to Briarwood Mall is
required because of federal
deregulation of the retail telephone in-
dustry, Bell officials said.
FOR A FEW weeks during the spring
and fall rush for new telephone service
next year, the telephone company will
set up a temporary office on campus
where students can pick up phones.
Singer said the telephone company
may either lease an office on campus or
in the Michigan Union, or set up a
trailer on campus. "We don't know
where the office will be right now,"
Singer said.
After Nov. 16, bill payments can be
made in person at all Ann Arbor Bank &
Trust branches, Farmer Jack on
Stadium Blvd., and National Bank &
Trust of Ann Arbor.
PHONE CENTER stores will accept
new telephone service payments, but
can no longer handle regular bill
payments.
Customers paying late bills before
telephone service is due to be shut off
must go to the Customer Service Center
at 30 N. Washington in Ypsilanti.
According to Singer, by 1983
Michigan Bell retail outlets must be out
of Bellnbuildings that are under
regulation.

The Federal Communications Com-
mission has said that Michigan Bell's
owner, American Telephone and
Telegraph Co., must conduct phone
sales-now a deregulated industry-
through a deregulated retail company.
Singer said Bell has used temporary
offices to service the student phone
rush at other college campuses. "It
works out well-it has been very suc-
cessful," Singer said. The only change
is location, Singer said, and the process
of getting a new telephone will be the
same as in the past.

Young
facing
uncertain
third term
From UPI and AP
DETROIT- With his biggest and
easiest victory behind him, Mayor
Coleman Young looked ahead yester-
day to an uncertain third four-year
term as mayor of a city whose
renaissance is undermined by the
economic slump.
Young rolled up a landslide 66 per-
cent of the vote in Tuesday's non-
partisan election to 34 percent for Perry
Koslowski, an obscure city accountant
whose long-shot campaign never
caught fire.
VOTERS HEEDED Young's call for
a City Council reflecting the city's
majority black population by electing
five blacks to the nine-member council.
Erma Henderson was the leading vote-
getter, and thus will continue to serve
as council president.
Voters soundly rejected for the
second time a Young-backed advisory
referendum to legalize casino gambling
in the city.
Nationwide, Democrats claimed
yesterday that the 1981 elections
amounted to an early repudiation of
President Reagan. Republicans said it
was no such thing.
IN NEW JERSEY, where Reagan's
economic policies had been at the cen-
ter of the campaign rhetoric,
Republican Thomas Kean clung to a
razor-thin lead over Democrat James
Florio in the governor's race as vote
counting continued almost a full day af-
ter the polls closed.
And in Virginia, Democrat Charles
Robb led a sweep of the three statewide
offices on the ballot, the first guber-
natorial victory for his party after 12
years of Republican rule.
Both races had been watched as
possible referendums on Reagan's
policies and as major party tests, since
Reagan campaigned for the GOP can-
didates.

Mafia women
no longer silent

MESSINA, Sicily (AP) - The wives
and sisters of Mafiosi, once silent and
submissive, are becoming active -
either by testifying against the Mafia or
by taking part in the crime syndicate
themselves.
And some women who have lost their
husbands in Mafia ambushes are en-
tering politics, saying it is the only way
to stop the killings.
"I'VE REBELLED," says Rita
Gaetano, the wife a state prosecutor,
who was murdered by the Mafia in
Palermo last year. "I'm against the
resignation and fatalism.
Gaetano, 59, helped collect petitions
signed by 30,000 women in Mafia
strongholds in Sicily and Calabria this
spring calling on the Italian gover-
nment to take a stronger stand against
organized crime. This summer, she
was elected as a representative to the
regional government on the Communist
Party ticket.
Antonio Padalino, a journalist who
writes about the Mafia for the weekly
news magazine Panorama, says
women are often more courageous than
men in fighting organized crime.
HE DESCRIBED a recent trial in
Cortona, Calabria, in which three men
who witnessed a double murder
testified they saw the hands of the
killers but not their faces. "The
assassins, however, were nailed by a
woman," Padalino said. Maria Cat-
velli, girlfriend of one of the killers,
testified against them.
The ground was broken in the mid-
1960's by Serafina Battaglia, who
testified in court about the murders of
her Mafiosi husband and son. The
Italian press said Battaglia was the fir-
st person to break the Mafia's
traditional code of silence.
Not all of the activist women are
fighting the Mafia, however. Some, like
Rosetta Cutolo, are becoming big-wigs
in the underworld themselves, police
report.
BETWEEN 1967 and 1977 the number
of women killed in gangland violence in
Calabria rose from seven to 31.
