But if you're finicky about where you live, it might be a good idea to stop procrastinating and do some window shopping to see what suits your taste and wallet. "IT'S A good time to look now if you want a specific location or a large rental unit," said Brenda Herman, a University housing advisor. "There just aren't that many large apartments on campus. But those who aren't so picky can take their time, said Herman. "There are a lot of one and two bedroom (apartments) and there are a lot of places if it doesn't make any difference to you where you're located," she said. It's bejter -to rent with two or more people, however; because if one person backs out, it's easier to fill his or her space, according to Herman. Students should also be aware that an eight- month lease brings not only the freedom of not having to sublet, but a 10 percent to 20 percent premium also. So even though some students sign, eight month leases, they often end up paying 10 months of rent, Herman warned. LOCAL LANDLORDS tended to agree with Her- man's assessment of the housing situation. "Get out there and look. The longer you wait, the more the chance is that only the less desirable apartmen- ts will be available," said Dick Vail, manager of Ravaip Management. RENTAL INFORMATION List available inactive on South Africa By BILL SPINDLE The troubling question of South African divestment returns to the floor of the faculty's governing body tomorrow for the first time in several years, and the questions involved remain as complex as ever. The basis for discussion will be a recommendation that the University maintain its holdings in companies operating in the apartheid nation, while playing "a more active role" in en- couraging those firms to improve the social and economic conditions of their employees there. JUST WHAT the phrase "play a more active role" means is a mystery to University administrators, who say they aren't sure what the faculty mem- bers who prepared the report have in mind. But a close look at how the Unviersity has implemented its five-year-old policy for Teform in South Africa shows polic y that the meaning may be obvious: The University has failed to divest from several companies that have not met anti-apartheid guidelines set by an in- dependent ratings firm. And investing in those companies appears to be in direct contradiction to the Regents' 1978 resolution which calls on firms to work for progress in South Africa and to publicly disclose the efforts they've made in the area. One firm in which the University in- vests, Carnation Co., has denied Unive- rsity requests for information for nearly three years, yet the University holds on to that stock. IN LATE 1980, Norman Herbert, the University administrator in charge of implementing the Regents' policy, warned Carnation in a letter that "the University's continued investment in Carnation is predicated on your prompt and complete response to our request for information." Carnation has received poor ratings for its efforts in South Africa from Ar- thur D. Little, Inc., a consulting firm that rates companies on their See '', Page 5 This chart gives a picture of Ann Arbor's housing market. The information was provided by local landlords.

LAWES Non-violence is a tactic for effecting yocial change, but it's no more than a tactic, Kwame Toure, who under the name Stokely Carmichael was a leading black activist in the '60s, told a campus audience yesterday. But if non-violence does not work, "pick up a gun, pick up a hand grenade, pick up anything, but get your liberation by whatever means," Toure said at a weekend conference on civil rights.

New museum gives guests the feel of science By JAYNE HENDEL A red-bricked reminder of cobblestone streets and meterless hitching posts, Ann Arbor's former fire station commands no more than a glance from passersby. But a closer look through the structure's arched windows reveals murals, machines, and mirrors. "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand," is written on one wall. THINGS HAVE changed at the old fire station. For the last four months the buildingwhasrhoused the Ann Arbor Hands-On-Museum where pre- schoolers through Ph.Ds can experiment with exhibits designed to explain scientific phenomena. On the ground floor, the exhibits explore the human senses. One machine measures hearing frequency, another allows visitors to examine their fingerprints, and by stepping on the metric scale, one can lose weight instantly. An adjoining area deals with genetics; explaining such mysteries as why some people have connected earlobes, some brown eyes and some curly hair. OTHER GROUND floor exhibits include a mirrored light room, where the effects of color on mood can be felt, and a computer that nutritionally analyzes a lunch. The museum's top floor is gearedmore toward physics and art. One corner houses a hot air balloon that falls and rises, nearby, a rotating device explains the history of spinning tops. Near one window is a well which contains a soapy film that can be stretched to the ceiling.
