Ezekial said he would like to see the city's Community Development Depar- tment, which currently works to im- prove local transportation and other services, take a more permanent role in dentifying the problems of the city's poor. Velker said city government officials also need to discuss precisely what role the city should play in solving the problems of the poor. Eleanor Lapides, one of the citizens on the city's povertyncommittee, said she thought the committee has done a reasonably thorough job of researching the problem of Ann Arbor poverty in the time allowed. "For the most part, we did a good job of getting feelers out into the community," she said. Lapides said although she thought the committee had succeeded in identifying many of the needs in the community, it might require a full-time department, to evaluate the problems of poverty on a more continuous basis.

The Arab students organizing the march criticized MSA's decision, charging that the student government leaders shied away from the event Oecause it will be controversial. 4BUT, MSA members insisted that tey turned down the motion to back the ps anti-Israeli march rally because the slogans to be used Friday did not capture what they believed are the full issues in the crisis. In other business last night, the all- campus student government voted to spend $250 to help publish a rape prevention pamphlet, which will be distributed free to students in the next few weeks. The booklet hadbeen published in past years, but had been absent from campus last year because Highlight If you have a vocal or instrumental talent, or you just like to sit back and listen to all types of music, get yourself and a friend or two over to the Ark tonight at 8:30 p.m. It's "OPEN MIKE NIGHT," an old Ark tradition.

ALSO LAST night, the assembly reaf- firmed its intention to look into the possibility of placing a small tax on all tickets purchased for Universtiy athletic events. MSA last year had pushed for the tax, which would help generate money for financial aid. But this year, with mostly new members on the assembly, many wanted to look into the plan more before urging University officials to act on it. MSA President Amy Moore said that the main obstacle to progress on the tax plan last year was Athletic Director Don Canham, who she said used his in- fluence to block the idea. "Canham is very, very powerful," she said, "overly powerful." SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Amid balloons, band tunes, and a little crooning from Tony Bennett, thousands of people bid goodbye to San Francisco's cable cars yesterday as the cen- tury-old system prepared to shut down for a 20-month, $58.2 million overhaul. A parade of the cars festooned with multi-colored balloons, clumps of bright ribbons and hundreds of flowers rolled over the city's hills, carrying representatives of corporations and agencies that donated nearly $10 million for the renovation. AT 4:45 A.M. PDT today, city officials will press the button that will shut down the system. It marks the beginning of a project to breathe new life into the creaking cars and replace crumbling track. The federal government is adding $44.6 million to the city's $10 million, and the state is providing $3.6 million. On Oct. 1, 200 workers will begin tgearing up the 69 city blocks of track, replacing subterranean pulleys and other Study: Busing won't stop racism mechanisms that have been around since the beginning. Sewers and water mains will be replaced, streets will be resurfaced or reconstructed. THE PROJECT is scheduled to be complete in June 1984, 111 years after Andrew Smith Hallidie's first car rolled down a San Francisco hill. Three of the eight lines restored after the Great Earthquake of 1906 survive today, the nation's oly mobile National Historic Landmark. "We shal return," Municipal Railway chief Richard Sklar told reporters gathered at the brick cable car barn, where the last car was scheduled to pull in this morning. Yesterday, buses already were rolling over the 69 blocks where the cable cars run, ferrying passengers from Union Square to Fisherman's Wharf past two reviewing stands where news media and city officials watched the cable car parade. EAST LANSING (UPI) - A major study of school busing in Delaware found that students' academic perfor- mance improved but their attitudes toward each other did not, it was repor- ted yesterday. These were the findings of two Michigan State University researchers who spent three years studying racial attitudes and academic performance in New Castle County, Delaware, where 11 separate districts were consolidated in- to one under a court order. . JOHN SCHWEITZER of MSU's ur- ban affairs program said despite the mixed results, he does not believe busing is a mistake. He was en- thusiastic about students' academic performance and remained optimistic about the long term impact on race relations. The 65,000-student district, which in- cludes urban Wilmington, was studied under a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. Schweitzer and cohort Joe Darden said students from black neighborhoods scored the biggest academic gains after busing and also generally had the healthiest racial attitudes. PRIOR TO the desegregation order, students from all-white neighborhoods were the highest achievers and those from black ones ranked lowest. The greatest gains after desegregation were found in mixed and heavily black neighborhoods. District-wide, pupils gained one year more than the national averge in academic achievement. SCHWEITZER attributed the im- provement "primarily to the major reorganization of the whole school system and the curriculum and the ef- fort that was made .by everybody in- volved to say 'Let's make this thing work." Racial atitudes, however, became somewhat less positive immediately af- ter the desegregation order and did not improve thereafter, the researchers found. Attitudes were the best in blacl neighborhoods and the worst in white ones. "AS LONG AS neighborhoods remain racially segregated, - school desegregation will do little to change racial attitudes," Darden concluded. Black teachers had better attitudes toward desegregation than white ones. Somewhat surprisingly, middle-aged teachers were more positive than young ones. Schweitzer conceded the findings on racial attitudes were a disappointment and stressed they cannot be blamed en: tirely exclusively on busing.

A series of "grassroots" town meetings will be held across the coun- try in the months before the Feb. 9 con- ference, according to the event's leaders. Citizens will debate domestic issues at these meetings and come up with reports to be delivered to policymakers at the annual conference. The November conference on foreign policy is not related to the February meeting, although Ford will attend both. The November forum, sponsored by the Gerald Ford Foundation, is in- tended to "develop a better rapport between the Congress and the president" in drawing foreign policy, explained the foundation's secretary, University political science Prof. George Grassmuck. Several U.S. senators and t vii U congressmen will, participate in the conference along with Ford and the secretaries of state, said Grassmuck, who is himself a former presidential adviser. It will be held Nov. 10 and Nov. 11 at the Ford Library. THE MOST IMPORTANT MONEY/POWER DISCOVERY SINCE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION MED SCHOOL? NURSING? PT, OT, DENTAL, VET, PHYS ED?
