Page 2-Thursday, April 1, 1982-The Michigan Daily City candidates debate issues w By SCOTT STUCKAL With few exceptions, the eight candidates in this year's race for City Council seats did not offer much debate in last night's debate, sponsored by the League of Women Voters. Democrats and Republicans agreed that the major problem facing Ann Arbor's government is main- taining government services in spite of the city's numerous financial problems. "IT IS IMPORTANT to turn over every stone and to look at every way to save money," said First Ward Democrat Larry Hunter. Although Hunter said he wants to "hold the line on property taxes," he stressed the need for "human-. ness in city government. Being poor or low income does not mean you have to live in bad housing," he said, explaining that it will simply take extra effort from the city to dig up financial sources for im- provement. David Fisher, incumbent republican in the Third Ward, also emphasized the need to seek out solutions to the city's fiscal woes, but cautioned against looking to taxpayers' wallets for the answers. "I promise to fight to roll off any inflationary gains" in the millage tax rate paid by homeowners, he said. In place of the steady interchange typical of many political debates, the candidates used last night's discussion-televised live on Ann Arbor Cablevision's Channel 10-to present their backgrounds and their stands on the six proposals on the April ballot. Hunter's Republican opponent in the First Ward, Jeffrey Gallatin, is the only candidate who expressed opposition to the ballot proposal calling for city funds for the Michigan Theatre. "Let's review it in the fall," Gallatin said, explaining that he would rather wait to discuss it until there is an economic upswing of some kind. Gallatin departed at one point from the debate's routine with an attack on Hunter. "Larry says vote for me because I'm a Democrat. Larry says vote for me because I'm black, but that's not a good reason," Gallatin said. "He (Hunter) failed to say what he's going to do about property taxes. Larry says vote for me because I believe in road resurfacing. He is passive, and trying to be a politician. Vote for him, but don't com- plain about city government," Gallatin said. Hunter did not respond, and Gallatin's remarks were the only outright attacks by any candidate at the debate. But Raphael Ezekiel, the Third Ward Democratic challenger, complained about the present city government in general. Calling for a humanist approach, Ezekiel criticized "a certain passivity in the (city) Council." He said he supports a rational approach to human needs "to try to know in- dividual people and what's important in their lives.'' Ezekiel said he also supports an educational program about sexual assault and violence, and a city-wide recycling effort. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports Brezhnev hospitalized MOSCOW- Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev, in failing health at 75, has been hospitalized in Moscow, Soviet sources said yesterday. Details were scarce and no official announcement was expected. The sources said it was not known if Brezhnev was suffering from a specific illness or simply needed to rest after a taxing month of public ap pearances. They said Brezhnev, who was last seen in public March 25, was at a special downtown hospital that treats high-ranking Soviet officials. Brezhnev is said to have suffered bouts of gout, non-fatal leukemia, em- physema and hearing loss in recent years. He continued to speak in public occasionally, though he often slurred his words and sometimes appeared un- steady on his feet. In Washington the State Department said it was -"aware of rumors and reports" of Brezhnev's hospitalization but was unable "to confirm or deny them." 0 0 IT'S AN APRIL FOOLS DA VPARTY AND IF YOU THINK WE'RE KIDDING COME ON DOWN TO: HARDY'S Cocktail Lounge THURSDAY FROM 5 PM ON " MOVIE CLASSICS " FREE HORS D'OEURVES AT THE ANN ARBOR INN 100 S. 4thAVE. 769-9500 Third Ward candidates predict hot race (Continued from Page 1)' greenhouse. I'm not sure that's what people want," Fisher said. It's curren- tly being used all year round. Half the farmers and customers we've talked to want the market to be indoors, half want it outdoors." The councilmember said he strongly supports the city's ballot proposals to improve major roads and intersections, however. "The city will realign the streets at the Broadway and Geddes in- tersection to make it safer, put in stoplights," Fisher said. THE CITY "can't afford not to buy this program," Fisher said. "The city will pay only 20 percent of the cost. The state and federal governments will pay the rest." Fisher said this intersection has con- cerned him for a long time. "We really need to make that intersection safer. Thank God, we haven't had a tragedy there already," he said. The energy proposal which would authorize the city to acquire a public utility does not deserve support, accor- ding to Fisher, because "it doesn't ad- dress what I want it to address: the development of two or three hydroelec- tric dams, assuming they're cost- effective," he said. BUT THE Republican is uncertain about the proposal calling for city funds for the Michigan Theatre. "The people who go there could pay an extra quar- ter," he said, which would raise revenue for the theater without ad- ditional taxes. Democrat challenger Ezekiel, who supports the Michigan Theatre proposals along with all the others, said more emphasis is needed on human services in Ann Arbor. "You've got people who depend on social services, for child care and health care, and those are disappearing because of federal and state cuts," Ezekiel said. "We (the city) cannot possibly fill the whole slack, but we should be trying to do part of it. Fisher ... opposes Farmer's Market funding "I WANT TO bring in grassroots groups like Peace Neighborhood Cen- ter, Bryant Community Clinic, and Perry Nursery School who know their own populations and know how to work with them to make programs that will do the most for the least money, to strengthen the neighborhood," he said. Rape prevention is another priority, according to Ezekiel. "I really would like to see us end up as a city where women can walk alone at night," he said. "Number one on my priority list is exploring foot patrols at night." Senate averts potential shutdown WASHINGTON- The Senate averted the potential shutdown of seven major government departments yesterday by narrowly voting to postpone a battle over a tax break for members of Congress. Senate leaders ended a two-day fight over the tax issue by using parliamentary tactics allowing their colleagues to set aside the special tax deduction, while not voting specifically on whether it is needed or fair. By a vote of 51-48, the Senate declared that the attempt to roll back the tax break enacted last year should not be attached to a stopgap spending measure. But the issue is sure to be debated and voted on later. At issue was whether members of Congress should get a tax reduction to offset the expense of living in Washington while maintaining a residence in their home states. Israeli troops tighten hold on Sinai settlements YAMIT, Occupied Sinai - Israeli troops tightened their grip on the volatile settlements in northern Sinai yesterday, the last day for civilians to depart before Israel returns the territory to Egypt on April 25. Soldiers with weapons patrolled the streets of Yamit as truckloads of household goods, irigation pipes and farming gear headed north. The army closed off three other settlements as soon as they were empty, and guards were posted to keep squatters and thieves from entering. Most, but not all of Yamit's 2,000 settlers were leaving before the midnight deadline. "The army will have to take me. by the ear and drag me a way," said a young bank clerk who the day before had chased two visiting Egyptian bankers out of his branch. The clerk. said he couldn't bear the thought of Egyptians taking over his office. UAW, AMC talks break down DETROIT- Contract talks between American Motors Corp. and United Auto Workers broke off yesterday because the two sides failed to reach agreement on the ratio of supervisors to workers in certain plants, a union spokesman said. UAW chief negotiator Ray Majerus, the union's secretary and treasurer, said talks broke down about 6p.m. after more than a week of slow but steady progress in negotiations. At an evening news conference Majerus said the union and company had reached basic agreement on a $150 million employee investment plan under which workers would give up certain economic gains to finance new produc- ts. f Ezekiel ... will represent tenants LA UREL OR HARDY LOOKALIKE CONTEST HARDY'S Cocktail Lounge 100 S.4thAVE.

She said Gallatin was "very frightening," and that he had, on several occasions, warned her and her boyfriend against causing trouble. She called him a "slumlord." IN RESPONSE to her charges, Gallatin said, "If I had known what she was like, I never would have rented it to her. She's an instigator." Dennis Albert, another former tenant of Gallatin, said Gallatin once came to his apartment, grabbed his shirt, and said "You'd better pay the rent by ~ .e q i D0 yp 99 tomorrow." Albert said he had been withholding his rent to protest unrepaired damages in his apartment, at the advice of University Student Legal Services. Gallatin said, "I wanted them (Albert and his roommates) to understand that if they didn't respect it (the property) themselves, I couldn't do it. I wanted to teach them a lesson." WHEN ALBERT tried to sublet his apartment, "people knew who he (Gallatin) was and were afraid to rent," Albert said. A staff member of the Tenants Union, Gwynn Kostin, said, "I've only had one tenant cry, while speaking to me. That was after (she had been) speaking with Jeffrey Gallatin." Gallatin said he has never had anything to do with the Tenants Union, but has "three times been involved with University of Michigan (Student) Legal Services and been in court twice." "I've never forced anybody to rent from me, and I've never forced anyone to stay," Gallatin said. He added, "Being a realtor, builder, and investor, you're always in the position of making a friend or an enemy. I guess I'm not a perfect landlord." They had also agreed on a repayment plan enabling union members to recover wages and other sacrifices by 1985. "Most other issues had been resolved and an overall agreement clearly was close to being reached when talks broke down," Majerus said, Vol. XCII, No. 143 Thursday, April 1, 1982 The Michigan Daily is edited and managed by students at The Univer- sity of Michigan.
