6 Page 2--Tuesday, October 12, 1982-The Michigan Daily Council passes anti-poverty move IN BRIEF By KRISTIN STAPLETON The Ann Arbor City Council voted last night to devote $5,000 to providing free meals to the city's poor. The resolution was the first concrete step the council has taken to fight poverty since the report of the city's poverty committee was released last month by committee chairman Louis Velker (R-Fifth Ward). COUNCIL also voted down a proposal to provide $2,000 to pay for city policemen to patrol the University Homecoming Parade on Oct. 30. COUNCILMEMBER Leslie Morris (D=Second Ward) said the poverty resolution is "precedent setting" because it marks the beginning of city involvement in funding social services. Mayor Louis Belcher replied, however, that he saw the city as merely a -"safety net" in times of crisis. "The local government should not be in the business of social services," he said. The money will be given to the city's Community Development Department which will find a suitable organization to provide the free meals. Council member Virginia Johansen (R-Third Ward), who submitted the resolution, said the plan will provide some im- mediate help to areas which need atten- tion. COUNCIL also passed two proposals to establish task forces to study the problems of emergency housing and the need for a city-controlled center to help distribute excess food from such sour- ces as supermarkets or school can drives. If the task forces discover that these problems warrant the allocation of city funds, Johansen said, the money will be administered through the CDD. Johansen said she could not estimate the amount of money council would be able to provide, because it is not yet clear how much the city will be able to spend. BEFORE THE vote on the proposal to give the University Activities Center funds for parade patrols, UAC member Rick McGuines said, "I can't guarantee that there will be a parade if we aren't funded." But councilmember Raphael Ezekiel(D-Third Ward) said, "I see no reason why the city of Ann Arbor should pay for this parade rather than any other." He advised UAC members to seek money from the University Panhellenic Association, claiming that "If we spent one one-hundreth of the money that the fraternities spend on beer, we could relieve any problem the city has." Mayor Belcher, who supported the proposal, said the council should sup- port University-sponsored activities, Velk especially this one. ...chairs povert Vacantcy rate still (Continued from Page 1) Several companies participating in Andrus-Davis the Housing Office survey said that customers rentaled although their vacancy rates are no rents, and more le longer as high as they were the first tract renters, Mill week of September, it has been tougher company has not usu to fill houses and apartments than it Gary Barker of B was last year. also said renters "I'VE HAD to work three times as picky" and looking a hard for half the money," Robert Miller before making a fi of the Andrus-Davis Company said last year. yesterday.

Navy spokesman Capt. Sven Carlsson said there had been no "firm in- dication" of the sub's presence in the waters off the Musko Naval Base since Friday. "It could still be there, but the likelihood is gradually decreasing," said Gen. Lennart Ljung, the armed forces commander in chief. There was no further word of a second sub the navy said it detected outside the entrance to the bay last Thursday. Ljung said Sunday it might have been the first sub after it made its escape. Carlsson also said the navy was having trouble getting efficient sonar operators because of what rock'n'roll has done to the hearing of the young. He did not elaborate on any specific problems in the sub hunt related to hearing problems. Survey predicts wage increases WASHINGTON- A survey of more than 1,000 business firms released yesterday predicts employees can expect salary increases averaging 7.6 percent in 1983-less than last year, but still enough to keep up with inflation. Sibson & Company Inc., a management consulting firm based in Prin- ceton, N.J., projected pay hikes for 1983 would be less than the 9.1 percent average for 1982. "Companies are tending to be somewhat cautious, with some taking a two-pronged approach to salary administration in 1983," said James Mitchell, Sibson & Co. managing principal for surveys. The pay raises-which could vary among industries-are expected to be above the projected 1983 inflation rate, which most government and private analysts predict will be 6 percent next year. The survey covered respondents from virtually all industrial sectors, in- cluding durable and non-durable goods, high technology, insurance, finan- cial, consumer products, retail and wholesale, real estate, service and elec- tric utilities. Gunman gives up; 2 dead RALEIGH, N.C.- A gunman who feared police would kill him surren- dered yesterday and was charged with murdering his sister and her infant son during a three-day standoff in an Amtrak sleeper car. He released the women's 3 -year-old daughter unharmed. Police said they had not determined what prompted the man, identified as Evangelista Navas Villabona, 29, of Bucaramanga, Colombia, to initiate the long siege as the Miami-to-New York Amtrak Silver Star approached the Raleigh train station Friday morning. The gunman passed the girl in a pink blanket through a window around 1 a.m. He threw down his .45-caliber machine gun and gave himself up around 5:45 a.m. after a New York City man he called "padrino"-Spanish for god- father-spoke to him through a bullhorn. The bodies of his sister and her in- fant son were removed from the stifling 6-foot-by-10-foot compartment later. "I feel good that we didn't fire a single shot," Police Chief Frederick Heineman said. "We were all saddened by the loss of the baby, but I felt we got all we possibly could out of this." The gunman was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of kidnapping the girl. He was being held in the acute care section of maximum-security Central Prison, and a first appearance was scheduled for today in Wake County District Court. Reagan speaks at GOP rally DALLAS- President Reagan, campaigning for Texas Republicans, aimed another shot at Democrats yesterday before returning to the White House to work on what aides insist will be a "non-partisan" speech on the economy. In a speech prepared for delivery to a Republican rally, the president called his Democratic critics "Monday morning quarterbacks" with no economic alternatives to offer. Reagan is campaigning for Republican Gov. William Clements, who is locked in a tough re-election battle against Democratic State Attorney General Mark White, and for Rep. Jim Collins, a conservative Republican, is given hardly any chance of upsetting Democratic Sen. Lloyd Bensten. "We have pulled America back from the edge of disaster," he said, con- tending that current hard times were caused by those "who are now our biggest critics." The rhetoric yesterday followed the pattern White House aides-have said will characterize presidential speeches in the final three weeks of the mid- term election campaign: Blame the Democrats for economic hard times and accentuate any positive economic developments. Harvard Medical School celebrates 200th birthday BOSTON- Harvard Medical School this week celebrates its 200th an- niversary with a symposia by 40 of the world's most noted physicians, in- cluding three who yesterday were selected Nobel Prize winners in Medicine. In 1782, medical classes at Harvard University meant attending a few classes and then working for a doctor in hopes of learning how to be one. There were three professors and classes were held in a basement room. Today, there are 3,000 faculty members and 660 students selected from among the elite of the world, all vying to be graduates of Harvard Medical School. There will be 100 deans too from the world's other great medical schools, converging to hear talks that will change the way medicine is practiced. Harvard is regarded as one of the world's leading medical schools, although it was founded third behind schools in New York and Philadelphia.
