Page2-Saturday, January9, 1982---The Michigan Daily U.S. to ease discriminationl laws WASHINGTON (AP)- Reversing a 12-year-old government policy, the Reagan administration said yesterday it plans to allow tax-exempt status for private schools that discriminate against blacks. The announcement of the shift came late .yesterday in documents filed with the Supreme Court, which had agreed to hear two separate appeals challenging the old policy. THE TWO-PAGE statement filed with the court by Justice Department lawyers contained no explanation. The statement said the government plans to give a tax exemption to two schools that have been fighting to gain it despite, their admitted racially discriminatory policies. They are Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C., and Goldsboro Christian Schools in Goldsboro, N.C. The two Supreme Court appeals came from those schools. The government statement said the Treasury Department, which includes the Internal Revenue Service, has "commenced the process necessary to revoke forthwith" the IRS procedures that had been used to deny tax exem- ptions to racially discriminatory schodls. THERE WAS no indication when that process would be completed. The IRS announced the previous policy in 1970. Since that time, the agency has cited racial bias as the basis for revoking more than 100 exemptions and denying tax-exempt status to an unspecified number of other private schools. Bob Jones University forbids in- terracial dating and marriage. Gold- sboro bars all black students from enrolling. The Justice Department said it was taking steps to return to Bob Jones its tax-exempt status, and was preparing to grant such status to Goldsboro for the first time. "The United States therefore asks that the judgments of the court of ap- peals be vacated as moot," the gover- nment told the high court yesterday. Local Dems appeal new redistricting plan (Continued from Page 1) another district to include a portion of Ypsilanti Township. ADAMO SAID, "The law says that when you draw districts, you should try for equality. They didn't try at all." Adamo and Sallade called the redistricting gerryman- dering-dividing an area into election districts to give one political party an electoral majority in a large number of districts. In this case, the advantage is given to the Republicans, the attorneys said. Adamo said the first criterion for determining district boundaries should be population, but they should not divide cities and townships, if possible. "They should not be drawn for partisan advantage," Adamo said. THE CLERK of the Appeals Court said the court probably will hear several cases concerning redistricting issues, Sallade said. Since 1982 is an election year, if the lawsuits are still unresolved in June, the candidates will not be able to file their petitions for election, he added. If the case is appealed beyond the local Appeals Court, the August elec- tion may be delayed, Sallade said. If the Appeals Court decides in favorof his clients, it is likely that the plan will be returned to the Commission for revision, Sallade continued. "If I lose, I will take the case to the Michigan Supreme Court, and if necessary to the United States Supreme Court," Sallade said. "It's going to be tough and we're just beginning to fight." Inspectors proposed Econ. Bldg. changes since 1971 (Continued from Page 1) mittee "takes the recommendations and prioritizes them," Ryan said. Eventually, the options are discussed with several University officials, including Plant Director Russell Reister, Safety Director Walt Stevens, and engineering consultants. "Most decisions are made with recommendations by these people," explained Jack Weidenbach,. the University's director of business operations, who makes final budgetary decisions. "There's not usually much disagreement; there's usually a con- census," he added, and said of the Economics Building decisions: "We know there's a lot of recommendations we don't comply with from the in- surance company. It's just a lack of funds." This spoce Q contributed by the pubshe GIVEN THE University's tight money supply, Weidenbach explained that "our priority is on life safety. And funds we have are spent in that way." "We'd rather lose a building than a life," Insurance Director Ryan said. He described a "tremendous" ef- fort by the University to insure "life safety" in the Economics Building throughout the past decade, an effort which included renovation of the structure's heating and electrical systems, and installation of many new fire extinguishers and alarms.. "There's more money spent on life safety than on preservation," Fire Marshal Downing concurred, adding that it would be "ideal," but financially im- possible, to have sprinkler systems installed in each of the campus' nearly 200 class buildings. "The amount of money needed to do that would be fan- tastic," he said. "The almighty dollar controls what's done and what isn't done." JAGDISH JANVEJA, a manager in the Univer- sity's Engineering Services, has overseen many fire safety projects undertaken on campus buildings, and is a member of the Fire Protection Project Commit- tee. He estimated yesterday that a complete sprinkler system for the Economics Building would have cost nearly $50,000. "We can design such systems, and implement them, but (Director of Business Operations) Weiden- bach controls the money," Janveja added. The 1971 recommendation for an Economics Building sprinkler system was automatically renewed each year, William Ryan explained. "Once a recommendation gets on one of these blue sheets, it'll remain there forever." THE ECONOMICS Building was one of many buildings which was recurrently mentioned in the IRI reports, the documents revealed. Sprinkler systems for parts of Angell Hall, Tappan Hall, both engineering buildings, the Michigan League and Michigan Union, as well as the Undergraduate Library, were recommended. While those buildings did not receive their proposed systems, 17 buildings did since the 1972-73 fiscal year, according to Ryan. These include all or part of the Chemistry Building, Hill Auditorium, the Health Service Building, the Natural Science Building, Yost Ice Arena, and structures on the Flint and Dearborn campuses. According to Frank Stafford, chairman of the Economics Department, there is little resentment on the part of its faculty toward Universityofficials. "I don't think the faculty blames the University," Stafford said. "The University took very good precautions for the building." The Industrial Risk Insurers Company, which will finance the construction of, the new Economics Building, has hired the GeneralAdjustment Bureau to settle the University's claim, Ryan said. His office and GAB will begin negotiations next week on the set- tlement, after a complete inventory and loss estimate are prepared,he said. "I expect the settlement to be smooth and reasonable," Ryan concluded yesterday. It has yet to be determined whether the exterior walls of the burned building will be used in a "recon- struction" of the old facility. Several economics faculty members have expressed a desire to see the Italianate-style structure preserved. Next Friday, the University will hold a public hearing (2-4 p.m., Regents Room of the Ad- ministration Building) to discuss options for re- building of the Economics Department. IN BRIEF Complied from Associated Press and United Press international reports Rescuers continue hunt for mudslide victims SANTA CRUZ- Rescuers used bulldozers andbackhoes yesterday to un- cover buried homes where up to 20 people are feared dead and labored to reach dozens of residents still stranded along roads blocked by mudslides. The death toll from one of the worst storms in Northern California history stood at 26, and the state Office of Emergency Services said 539 people had reported injuries and the damage estimate had reached $280 million. Water remained critically short throughout Santa Cruz County, although officials said voluntary conservation efforts appeared to be succeeding. "Life definitely is not back to normal," said sheriff's Sgt. Bruce Simpson. "The city government is closed, all the schools are closed. The Health Department has closed down all businesses that use water, which is just about everybody. The five largest employers in the county are all closed." Cigarette and liquor taxes may increase, legislators say LANSING- So-called "nuisance taxes"-levies on such items as cigaret- tes and liquor-may be considered this year as a means of easing the state's budget problems, lawmakers said yesterday. However, few were willing to predict outright that new taxes will be raised, or that they will not be earmarked for special categories, such as secondary or higher education. House Republican Leader William Bryant of Grosse Pointe Farms said nuisance taxes "are always a possibility," especially in times of severe budget problems, such as the state is now facing. GOP support for increasing the taxes, he said, "would depend on what it is, how much it is and what it's going to be used for. There would not be much support if it's going to social services, but if it goes to education, there may well be." Police end search of lake for Dozier VERONA, Italy- Police frogmen aided by amphibious craft and a helicopter searched a small lake yesterday on an anonymous tip that Red Brigades terrorists had dumped the body of kidnapped U.S. Brig. Gen. James Dozier there. The operation was abandoned after six hours as another hoax. The hunt for Dozier entered its fourth week with no clues to the kidnap- pers' hideaway, but police were confident the 50-year-old general was still alive. Police also said they believed they knew the identity of three of the Red Brigades terrorists who snatched Dozier from his Verona apartment Dec. 17. Composite sketches based on the evidence of witnesses matched with photographs of gang suspects in police files, they said. The names were not disclosed, but file photographs and names were cir- culated among the thousands of police engaged in the hunt for Dozier, the top NATO officer in southern Europe. UAW and automakers to renegotiate contract CHICAGO- In a historic move, United Auto Workers negotiators for General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. voted yesterday to reopen con- tract discussions with the automakers in light of the industry's deepening slump. The 225-member Ford Council joined the 330-member GM Council in ap- proving a request by union leaders to start collective bargaining discussions. Automakers havesaid they are ready to sit down at the bargaining table, with the union as soon as workers give their approval. Negotiations are expected to begin early next week. The vote by Ford representatives was 97 percent in favor of the resolution, one union vice president said.

Forest at Hill St. emergency service (Continued from Page 1) cases during the ribbon-cutting ceremonies," Mackenzie said, "so the design did get a test for a sub-disaster situation. We saw about 85 patients in about two hours, without interrupting the ceremonies." APPROXIMATELY 35 percent of the patients seen at the emergency room are not "true emergencies" but are minor cases, Mackenzie said. Mackenzie said the renovations will provide a "nice testing ground" for ef- ficient design of space and equipment for the Emergency Service in the new hospital, which will be built within the next five years. "We're fortunate we had to renovate on a small scale while designing the new service," he said, "and we hope we can make corrections (in the new facility's design) at a far less cost." MACKENZIE SAID he found one aspect of the facility that needs correc- tion. A small room designated for treating minor cuts and lacerations has proved to be inefficient because it is not being used regularly by the staff, he said. Other Emergency Service renovations include a new helicopter pad. The new pad is closer to the hospital's entrance so patients no longer have to be transferred to an am- bulance. About 10 to 12 patients per month are brought to University Hospital by helicopter, Mackenzie said. A new driveway, parking lot and elevators reserved only for emergency use have also been built. "We wanted to provide an aura of welcome," Macken- zie said. "The downstairs entrance was like a morgue-dull."
