Carter, who flew to West Germany to greet the returning hostages as President Reagan's representative, let bitterness held back for 14% months come out as he said the hostages had Seen mistreated "much worse than had been previously revealed." The former president's description of acts of "barbarism" leading to "abominable circumstances" for the freed captives followed reports from hostages' families and the U.S. State Department that the Americans suf- fered physical and psychological abuse during their 444 days in captivity. The State Department issued a statement here saying, "on the basis of See CARTER, Page 2 Reagan not set on hostage deal From UPI and AP WASHINGTON - The Reagan ad- ministration yesterday refused to commit itself to carry qut the remaining provisions of the agreement ending the hostage crisis until the document has been thoroughly studied. The settlement, fashioned by Carter during intensive negotiations that en- ded only a few hours before the former president left office on Tuesday, provided for the return of previously frozen Iranian assets in exchange for the hostages' freeedom. - HOWEVER, SOME of the mechanics of the agreement, including the ship- ment of remaining military spares, would have to be completed to carry out the complex deal, in which the 52 American hostages were traded for Iran's $12 billion in frozen assets. State Department spokesman William Dyess, stressing that he was speaking for the new team under Secretary of State-designate Alexander Haig, said, "The Reagan ad- ministration doesn't want to commit it- self without having had a chance to study the documents. "Historically, administrations have been bound by international agreemen- ts," Dyess said, but added that the new team "wishes some time to study the agreements." "THE ADMINISTRATION did not know any great details of the agreement," he said. "It took the position it was the responsibility of the Carter administration. We could not have two presidents, two secretaries of state. So they decided to stay out of it." Alexander Haig, the incoming secretary of state, was asked last night about reports that the Reagan ad- ministration may not fulfill the terms negotiated by Carter's administration. While acknowledging the Reagan administration has begun a review of the documents, Haig said he did not want to put that review "in the category of severe skepticism." RICHARD ALLEN, President Reagan's national security affairs ad- viser, said Reagan and Haig will con- sult with Warren Christopher, the for- mer deputy secretary of state who directed the negotiating team in Algiers, about the settlement. Allen told reporters not to expect anything definite for at least the "next day or two. Asked several times if his comments indicated Reagan might not accept the release agreement, Allen sidestepped a direct response, effectively leaving the door open. U.S. officials said about $8 billion of Iran's assets were transferred to an escrow account Tuesday morning before the hostages were freed. However, an additional amount, thought to be more than $4 billion, is still under U.S. control, in the form of contested funds in banks or "other assets" - real estate, securities and other property. Under the agreement, such property will be handed over to Iran as it is tur- ned into liquid assets, or as legal questions are settled.

SA member resigns .anud controversy-again By STEVE HOOK Off and on during his off-and-on career in University student government, David Schaper has been accused of .,ishandling student funds, fixing elections,- and man- pulating his political opponents. He describes his, 10-year career as "colorful." And the 27-year-old Law School student has just resigned from the Michigan Student Assembly judiciary for the second time in two months. His most recent resignation, submitted under pressure from other MSA members, marks one more milestone in one of the longest, most controversial careers in student government history on this campus, IN REFERENCE TO allegations that he mismanaged more than $40,000 when he was treasurer, Schaper said recently, "I've fixed elections, I've screwed people left and right, but I never, never took any money." Later he said, "That was a hyperbolic statement, made essentially to assert that I've never taken any money. The comment was made in the heat of the moment. No, I haven't rigged any elections. "I didn't say that I haven't pulled, at the very least, some aggressive political maneuvers. I perceived political con- frontations as wars, and my opponents as enemies." Schaper explained. "BUT I'M NOT into that kind of thing anymore. The need isn't tcehe was elected director as a freshman in 1972, Schaper held a number of positions in student government before he resigned as Chief Justice of the Central Student Judiciary in November. Despite his controversial record, Schaper has never been officially convicted of any wrongdoing. And many current members of MSA praised his recent work. SCHAPER INITIALLY resigned for "personal reasons" from his post on the judiciary. At his request, he was reap- pointed by the assembly earlier this month. The Central Student Judiciary is the arm of campus gover- nment that deliberates on legal disputes within and between student organizations on campus. It is a full court system with a group of judges and a chief justice. His reappointment was challenged Sunday night before the Court of Commmon Pleas - a CSJ lower court which Schaper himself was instrumental in establishing last year.

The victim was taken to the Univer- sity Hospital Emergency Room with lacerations on her head and left wrist. Further details on her condition were unavailable last night. ANN ARBOR Police Det. Jerry Wright said the woman may have been struck with a chair in music room num- ber four. A police officer at the scene about 8 p.m. said it had not been determined whether the woman also had been rob- bed. University students Ken Roth and Sean Mulrony said they saw the woman running from the music room as they walked through the ground-floor hall at 7:45 p.m. "YOU CAN SEE how much blood there is on the floor, and there was twice as much before," Roth said. The woman "pointed behind her and mumbled something," and then started to fall, Mulrony added. The men said they rushed to help the woman, and then they called the 911 emergency number on a nearby phone. Jinion Roth said he thought the woman said her name was "Song," and that she was 36 years old. He added that the woman seemed to think that two men attacked her. Mulroney said the victim was "pretty incoherent" and they could not obtain any other information from her. Roth, Mulroney, and another bystan- der said they did not see anyone exiting from the music rooms. Other witnesses reported seeing two males leaving the Union in a "hurried manner," police said. No suspects have been apprehended and the case is still under investigation. Wilson White 995-9551 Ho using search tough as ever By DEBI DAVIS Some things never change - like the annual search for housing near- campus. True to tradition, apartment hun- ters will likely find that housing for next term is expensive and that the search is competitive.- DESPITE SOME rumors last fall to the contrary, the off-campus housing market seems to be as tight as ever, according to an informal, survey of 19 of the largest local ren- tal agencies. Several local firms reported a few vacencies last September, but Vice President for Student Services Henry Johnson says there is "as Modern apartments and efficiencies 200 units about 150 avail. List available tomorrow much demand, if not more, for housing this year." "It's going to be tight," he predic- ts. A VACANCY RATE of less than one percent near campus means high demand, which leads to high prices. This year, rent increases are run- ning an average of 10 per cent, but range from zero - for some tenants who resign their current leases - up to 12 percent. Landlords cite the increase in the cost of living as the major cause of rent increases. Last year increases ranged from nine to 14 percent, reflecting the higher rate of inflation See HOUSING, Page 8 TODAY Scribblers, draw your pens T'S TIME TO refill those pens and sharpen those pencils.

Then the four Hartford Hospital physicians will emerge from their huddle as a barbershop quartet called The Spinal Chords, and launch into an a cappella rendition of "Margie" or some other standard. "I've always said that no one can listen to a barbershop quartet and not smile," said baritone Muller. "We even go into the intensive care unit and sing for people." Twice in recent months the Chords have sung the ordeal of the hostages. Yesterday, managing editors across the country were offered an exclusive first shot at the book for a fee of $6 plus postage. The deal comes to your from the Associated Press in conjunction with Rutledge Press, a New York-based publisher, and is promoted as "a dramatic book on the ordeal of the American hostages."
