New Union
bookstore
gets rights
'U'Cellar
sought
By THOMAS HRACH
Come January, there will be a new
textbook store in town geared up and
ready to do battle with Ulrich's and the
UJniversity Cellar - two well-
established heavyweights in the cam-
pus bookselling business.
Barnes and Noble, a New York firm,
is scheduled to move into the ground
floor of theMichigan Union by the time
winter book rush rolls around, accor-
ding to Frank Cianciola, Union direc-
tor. It will occupty the same space one
of it's rivals - the 'U' Cellar - onced
leased before it moved out two years
ago because high rent costs and a rule
barring it from selling any
memorabilia bearing the Universiy in-
signia.
THE STORMY parting of the Union
and the student bookstore was brought .
on by three factos, according to 'U'
Cellar spokesman Bruce Weinberg. The
increase in rent, $350,000 in renovation
costs which the bookstore would have
had to absorb, and the Union's refusal
to give up the exclusive right to sell
Michigan insignia items caused the
store to move to its present location.
The Union would not give up its ex-
clusive right to sell insignia items
within the building two years ago, but
under a tentative agreement with Bar-
nes and Nobel the Union will turn those
rights over to the New York firm and
close the Union-run retail outlets in the
building.
According to Weinberg, the decision
to raise rents was made so the Union
would make money.

WILMINGTON, N.C. (UPI) -
Thousands of Hurricane Diana
refugees, their spirits boosted by
brilliant blue skies, jammed highways
leading to stormed-ravaged coastal
towns Friday to start rebuilding.
Many weary families returned for
their first looks at damage left by
Diana, which assaulted a 30-mile stret-
ch of, coast from Cape Fear to Wright-
sville Beach for 18 hours before finally
moving inland at dusk Thursday and
weakening to a tropical storm.
RAIN STOPPED Friday and the
clouds parted, revealing sunshine and
blue skies, and the pounding of ham-
mers and the whine of power saws rang
out along the coast.
"People are out cleaning up and
trying to restore their lives as best they
can. There's blue skies above and that
helps," said Hal Walker, a state
emergency management official.
"There's a very hearty breed of
people down here. People are not
saying, "Why did this happen to me?"
but "Let's get on with it," Walker said.
SOME 8,500 people huddled in storm
shelters for the third night Thursday,
eating sandwiches made and trucked in
from state prisons, and glad to have
even that meager fare. By daylight,
traffic was heavy on roads leadings to
the coast. The throng . of homeward
bound refugees slogged over highways
UAW s
DETROIT (AP) - The United Auto
Workers union said last night it had
authorized 13 of its locals to strike
General Motors Corp. at midnight over
local issues and would continue to
bargain on a national contract.
UAW President Owen Bieber and
chief bargainer Donald Ephlin said in a
joint statement that "the failure to
reach agreements at the local level at
some locations has made local strikes
unavoidable at 13 GM facilities."
SAL MANCHACA, secretary-
treasurer of UAW local 654 in Vany
Nuys, Calif., where Chevrolet Camaro
sports cars are made, said his plant
was one of those picked for a possible
strike.

the company couldn't comment on the

Radio station WWJ in Detroit quoted
unidentified sources as saying the union

UAW Local 160 President Len Wozny
in Warren, Mich., said it was "my un-

represents, the GM Technical Center in
Warren, also was told to be prepared to
strike.
A UNION spokesman at a plant in
Doraville, Ga., which employes 5,000
workers making Buick Century and
Oldsmobile Ciera compact cars, said
the plant also was on the strike target
list. The spokesman at Local 10 asked
not to be identified.
But Charles McDonald, president of
Local 2195 in Decatur, Ala., said the GM
steering gear plant there and its parent
plant in Saginaw, Mich., would not be
struck immediately.

did not mean the UAW was committing

Ozone House- counsels more black youths
By SHUBHA GHOSH
In 1970, 2 percent of the runaway youths who sought
help from Ann Arbor's Ozone House were black.
In 1984, although the number of clients hadn't
changed, 25 percent of the runaways were black.
"VIRTUALLY all the (media) attention has
focused on white youths," according to Peter Ways,
training and volunteer coordinator for Ozone House.
"Running away and homelessness are problems that
concern the black community."
Ozone House is a 16-year-old agency which offers
counseling and shelter to runaway and homeless
youths. The rise in the number of black runaways has
led Ways to begin recruiting more black volunteers.
Reasons for the increase in blacks seeking help
from Ozone House include the facility's outreach
programs, its well-established reputation in the
community and a rise in the number of blacks living
in the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti area.
WASHTENAW County's black population rose 58.9
percent from 1970 to 1980, and while Ann Arbor's
population grew 8 percent the black population rose
50 percent. In Ypsilanti, which accounts for some 30
percent of the Ozone House clients, the black
population rose 22.9 percent despite an 18.6 percent
drop in the town's total population.
These increases have been accompanied by a
change in the socio-economic composition of blacks.
According to the 1980 census, there are no longer any
all-white neighborhoods in Ann Arbor. Only 74 black
families in the county reported incomes over $25,000
in 1970, but over 1,000 black families inthe 1980 census
reported incomes over $35,000. At the same time, the
number of black families with incomes below the
poverty level rose 26 percent.
Although Ozone House does not compile economic
information on its youth, Ways said people of all
socio-economic levels use the facility. Despite the
lack of data, Ways and information coordinator Cub-
ba Reese blame the recent downswing in the
economy for an increase in domestic problems which
in turn leads to adolescent runaways.
Blacks tend to be the hardest hit during rough
economic times, and Cubba said blacks have recently
reported more problems with "independent living,
pregnancy, (and) siblings who physically abuse
them" than whites.
NATIONALLY, a Department of Health and
Human Services study reported that the number of
youths nationally seeking counselling at facilities like
Ozone House rose 20 percent from 1978 to 1981. This
rise consisted of a 4 percent drop in whites (from 74 to
70 percent) and a three percentage point rise in the
