Construction projects in the Frieze Building and the Michigan Union raised concern among students and faculty last week over the possible presence of asbestos in materials which had not been tested by the' University or the contractor. Bailus Walker, director of the Michigan Department of Public Health, said yesterday he "can't believe" the materials were not tested prior to con- struction by the University, which he said has "probably one of the best in- dustrial health units in the country." WALKER, WHO said he is familiar with both the Frieze Building and the Union, pointed out that asbestos is commonly found in older buildings. He is sending investigators from the Division of Industrial Health and Hygiene today or tomorrow, he said, to evaluate the situation., After reports surfaced Saturday linking the renovation projects to possible health hazards, the University Monday began testing the building materials for the carcinogen asbestos. No results have come in as of yet, ac- cording to University officials.

' - , - r ~ { ---j ramed at liquor store approves partial ba on school busing WASHINGTON (UPI)- The Senate yesterday approved a stringent, retroactive ban on busing to desegregate public schools-an action one opponent called part of an "ab- solute rout" of America's commitment to civil rights in the Reagan era. The Senate voted 58-38 for an amen- dment that would prohibit federal cour- ts from ordering busing as a remedy for school desegregation if the bus ride lasts more than 30 minutes or covers more than 10 miles round-trip. THE BAN would apply to future court orders and also permit school districts now busing children under past rulings to seek an end to the controversial prac- tice. Sen. Bennett Johnston (D-La. ), spon- . sor of the amendment, has conceded that the time and distance limitations would effectively stamp out busing to integrate classrooms. A second part of the amendmert would prohibit the Justice Department from initiating or pushing school desegregation suits that require busing. "IT IS A pernicious precedent," said Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), who voted against the measure. "The courts are going to be hobbled by this kind of ap- proach."f Levin said if judges are restricted on how they enforce minority rights, there i& nothing to prevent Congress from in- truding on other constitutional rights like free speech. ' Levin, one of a handful of senators who took part in a frequently acrimonious debate, said busing works well in some communities as a method for resolving racial imbalance in public school systems. But in Detroit, Levin said, he opposed a busing plan ordered by a federal judge because it encouraged middle class whites and blacks to flee to the suburbs. He said a national limitation : on busing orders is a direct threat to the constitutional rights of minorities. "I dislike busing," Levin said, "but I like the Constitution even more." By ABBY TABB If you try to use a fake ID card to pick up a six-pack at Marshall's Liquor on South State St., there's a good chance that it will be confiscated. But don't wbrry. You'll probably see it again, and so will a lot of other people. Marshall's has a policy of hanging confiscated identification cards above the check-out counter - handily near the liquor shelves - to discourage, minors from purchasing alcohol illegally. "It's our privilege to take it (an ID) away," said Sheila Johnson, a manager at Marshall's. Johnson suggested the idea last fall, in hopes that em- barrassment might be the key to solving the problem with minors. THE TECHNIQUE has been fairly ef- fective, she said. "You can always tell (possible offenders). They glance up at the others and get shakey." If someone makes trouble about the confiscation, Johnson said, Marshall's will turn the card over to the police. Johnson said taking the cards and hanging them up in "fun, especially on Friday and Saturday nights." But, she added, many of the owners of the cards don't enjoy seeing their pictures on display. ONE UNIVERSITY student whose falsified driver's license is hanging at Marshall's was surprised when it was confiscated. "I'd used it a whole lot, and it had never been questioned before," said the South Quad resident, Who asked that his name not be used. Sgt. Norman Olmstead of the Ann Arbor Police Department said that if a clerk knows that an ID card is falsified, it is the store's "social responsibility" to report the misdemeanor. However, he continued, there is no law com- pelling the store to confiscate the ID or to turn it over to authorities. Village Corner, located on South University, does not display con- fiscated ID cards, according to manager Michael McKee. But since. last fall, he said, after Ann Arbor police conducted a widespread investigation to determine which bars and retail stores were selling alcohol to minors, the store has confiscated more than 300 fake IDs. BECAUSE OF complaints from. parents and the juvenile court about the number of minors drinking in the area, Police Chief William Corbett met with several local retailers to discuss the problem of fake IDs. Lt. Dale Heath of the police department's investigation division said that the chief's message to the retailers -was, "If you don't do something,-we will." But the Village Corner staff grew tired of handing the IDs over to police who didn't seem to be doing anything about the problem, according to manager McKee. "Just don't take them anymore, was essentially the message they gave us," McKee said. "Police were upset that minors were getting drunk, and they're still getting drunk. They (police) seem to want to be rid of the "problem, but don't seem to want to continue the in- vestigation," he added Stana Warren, manager of Campus Corner, at the corner of State and Packard, agreed with McKee that police should put more pressure on the minors who are breaking the law, rather than concentrating their efforts on the retailers. "POLICE NEED to spend at least as much time with the people perpetrating the fraud as they do in catching those selling the liquor to them," Warren said. Falsified ID cards that are turned over to police will usually lead to See CONFISCATED, Page 5 Plan to freeze state salaries called impossible Seminar discusses national park olicy By HARLAN KAHN A proposal to freeze teacher and state * employee salaries for one year, submit- ted earlier this week to Gov. William Milliken, "is not possible," according to state officials. Milliken has no authority to make such a budgetary decision, according to Pat McCarthy, assistant state budget director. "The governor can negotiate, but final approval is still retained by the Civil Service Commission," McCar- thy said. The Middle Cities Education Association, formed by 20 Michigan public school districts, sent Milliken a proposal Monday asking that he declare astate of financial emergency in Michigan to avoid further cutbacks in state school financing. THE GROUP'S proposal also requests a one-year salary freeze of all school district employees at curent levels, the closing of all educational in- stitutions for one week, and a five-day layoff without pay of all state em- ployees. Harry Howard, Ann Arbor school superintendent and a director of the Middle Cities Association, said he fears an executive order from Lansing which could increase Ann Arbor's funding loss to more than a half million dollars. A five-percent statewide pay in- crease has already been approved for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1982,'and the University exects to receive a 14 percent increase, according to McCar- thy. "WE DON'T feel the money will be there," said Howard. "There will be See PLAN, Page By LISA SPECTOR Growing conflict over whether recreation and preservation can co- exist in Michigan's national parks brought environmentalists, homeowners, and businessmen together last night for a seminar sponsored by several University organizations. Private concessioners and homeowners from the Sleeping Bear National Lake Shore and Isle Royale National Park complained that pressure imposed on them by the federal government violates their rights as owners of the land. "WE NEED our rights defined," said Kathy Stocklen, a homeowner and operator of a canoe service in Sleeping Bear National Park. Stocklen said she and other homeowners are being unfairly restricted by the National Park Ser- vice in what she claimed was an ef- fort to make the park a "living lan- dscape. The people are a part of the culture, which is being destroyed," she said. National Parks officials countered that they were merely carrying out the ants of Congress designed to preserve the areas as national parks. "The parks are areas set aside for. naturalist purposes," said Richard Brown, superintendent of Isle Royale National Park. Preservation is more important in' the world today," he said ACCORDING to Stocklen, Secretary of the Interior James Watt is supporting the homeowners ,and businessmen in the parks. "Watt is trying to be more fair to the people," she said. But in an article by Joseph Sax, University professor of environmen- tal law and moderator of the seminar, Watt is accused of "em- bracing and encouraging con- cessioner aggressiveness." He is taking the side of com- petition in violation of the Con- cessins Policy Act of 1965, according to Sax's article, which emphasizes detachment between the interior department and the desires of con- cessioners.

The Ann Arbor News reported yesterday that Thanos Inc., which runs the Thano's Company restaurant at 514 E. Washington St., had filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy code. Chapter 11 allows a business to reorganize and pay creditors while remaining open. But Thano Masters, owner of the establishment, denied the whole thing. "It's all talk," Masters said. "People think they know more about my business than me." He threatened to sue the Ann Arbor News for printing the story. However, a check with U.S. Bankruptcy Court in familiar this winter-but Rodney Uptin may be the only one marooned all night on his own roof. Upton, in his early 40s, said he saw cracks in the ceiling of his split-level home and went up on the roof about 9 p.m. Tuesday to shovel off some of the two-and-one-half feet of snow to relieve the stress. As he shoveled, it began to sleet, then rain, and around mid- night he decided to come down. But his ladder was en- crusted with ice and he was afraid to climb the 10 feet to the ground. He yelled and banged on the roof but said he couldn't attract attention or rouse his wife, who was sleeping in a room below. To keep warm, he kept shoveling.
