Page 2 - The Michigan Daily- Friday, February 22, 1985 Parking fines may be revoked IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and United Press International reports By DOV COHEN b Local automobile owners who were ticketed last week for parking on the wrong side of the street during a snow emergency may not have to pay the $20 fine doled out by the city's police department. Because many drivers complained they weren't informed of a city or- dinance prohibiting people from parking their vehicles on the side of the street with odd street numbers on odd days (and likewise on the side of the street with even street numbers) during snow emergencies, city council will vote on a resolution which would nullify the violations. "THE CITY was not prepared to adequately inform people. Announcing it through the Ann Arbor News and -local radio stations is not the best means of informing people," said council member James Blow (R-Ward 2), who strongly supports the resolution which was proposed by Mayor Louis Belcher. Fifth ward Democrat Kathy Edrren also supports the proposal. "I'd be very surprised if anyone voted against it," Edgren said. She ad- ded that there is a strong chance the board will look at the enforcement and notification procedures in the towing ordinance and a "decent chance" that they will look at the ordinance itself. w EDGREN suggested distributing flyers as a way of notification. "We can look at what they do in other com- munities," she said. "I hope to come up with a better way of notifying people, be it leaflets or what have you. We must have a long term solution. Our notice through the media isn't working," said council member Lowell Peterson (D-Ward 1). The problem with giving car owners more time to move their vehicles, ac- cording to assistant city administrator, Allen Burns, is that ,the streets will remain unplowed for a longer period. "It's six of one, half dozen of another which way you get the complaints," Burns said. Greek membership hits 19.5% on campus (Continued from Page 1) from the competition." MARY BETH Seiler, the campus Panhellenic advisor agrees that a trend toward converatism may have something to do with the increase, out she said "I think we can take credit for some of the increase. Also, it's what fraternities and sororities do - they're active and visible on campus and are involved in many worthwhile philan- thropic activities." According to Walter, IFC is making at attempt to increase fraternity mem- bership even more. Nine campus fraternities are participating in a mid- winter rush for the first time. Walter said that he is hoping midwin- ter rush will increase the pledge total by 20 to 500.

Usually one or two sorority chapters and two to three fraternity chapters have been returning to campus in recent years, Michaels said. Although there are several ex- planations for the. Greek system's comeback, most people tend to agree on why sororities and fraternities suffered an interest decline in the late 1960s and early '70s. "The whole system was a victim of the times - there was a lot of political activism, the war in Vietnam, and anti- establishment feelings," said Martha Hahn, a University alumna and a rush adviser. Although fraternities and sororities were still strong when former Theta Delta Chi member Thomas Bloomer graduated in 1969, "There were definite signs of trouble" in the Greek system at that time, he said. "People didn't really think they (fraternities and sororities) were relevant" when the Greek system 'saw its all time lowest membership in around 1972 and 1973. "I don't think fraternities and sororities necessarily deserved it, but they just went out of vogue." ALTHOUGH GREEKS ARE glad about the larger membership figures, increased membership is causing some problems. Increased popularity of fraternities and sororities means tougher competition for limited space. "We don't have room to place everyone, which concerns me," Seiler said. Last term, 226 women did not find a place in a sorority. THERE IS NO easy solution to this problem, said Seiler. I'I don't think it's reasonable to ask (existing chapters) to increase their numbers. Many already have 100, which is quite a group. I'd like to add new chapters instead of making, (existing) chapters grow." However, even adding new chapters- will not solve everything. New chapters coming to campus may experience housing problems. When some sorority and fraternity chapters disap- peared from campus in the late '60s and early '70s, their houses were used for other purposes. Now new chapters may LI f-i rp. C have problems regaining living quar- ters, Seiler said. "Most, chapters just can't exist without housing," Seiler said. If new chapters can't find housing, it may limit the growth of the Greek system on campus. COLLEGIATE SOROSIS, a relatively new campus chapter with 39 members, is the most recent group to experience housing difficulties. The sorority recen- tly petitioned the city's planning com- mission with a request to buy and enlarge a one-family house at 903 North ,Lincoln. The house lies in zone R2B, which is considered a buffer zone bet- ween campus and residential areas. The neighborhood consists of Ann Ar- bor familiesand college students. There are several fraternities and sororities in the neighborhood. The planning commission turned down the sorority's request for several reasons, said Wendy Rampson, zoning coordinator for Ann Arbor. She said the sorority could bring increased parking problems to an already crowded parking area. People in the neigh- borhood were also opposed to the ad- dition of a sorority in the area.: "There's a balance in the neigh- borhood. People are worried about tip- ping that balance and ruining the single family atmosphere," Rampson said. Collegiate Sorosis plans to submit a revised request to the planning com- mittee next month. The new version leaves more room for parking space and cuts down on the size of the proposed addition to the building. I SHIRT. 'PRINTINq Ann Arbor's fastest!

"Does the United States think the Soviet Union will sit idle, awaiting the results of the U.S. 'research'?" Kremlin spokesman Leonid Zamyatin said "Faced with such dangerousplans, the Soviet Union will do all in its Power to prevent a U.S. superiority over itself. "The Soviet Union would have to increase the power of its weapons in retaliation for the attempts of the United States to get an opportunity to deliver a nuclear strike with impunity," he said in an article distributed by the official news agency Tass. Zamyatin is chief of the Communist Party Central Committee's inter- national information department and is one of the Kremlin's chief spokesmen. Tass also quoted Andrei Kokoshin, deputy director of a think tank called the U.S.A.-Canada Institute, as saying international scientists fear a new arms race if the United States develops space weapons. "The other Soviet side, scientists believe, will take steps to further develop its strategic systems which guarantee it a possibility of hitting a retaliatory strike," he said. First Cuban refugees deported MARIETTA, Ga. - Twenty-three Cubans were bused from a federal prison to a suburban Atlanta airbase yesterday where a chartered jet waited to return them to their homeland, the first of 2,700 refugees the Reagan ad- ministration wants deported. A three-judge panel of the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a lower court's order earlier yesterday, clearing the way for the first wave of deportations. Most of the refugees were cnvicted in Cuba of crimes ranging from mur- der to military desertion and have been in prison in Atlanta since their arrival in the 1980 Mariel boatlift. A few were convicted of crimes in this country and some have been declared mentally ill, federal officials said. The Reagan administration signed an agreement in December with Fidel Castro's regime that allows the deportation of 2,746 Cubans at a rate of 100 per month. In exchange, Cuba will send up to 30,000 legal immigrants a year to the United States. S. African gov. charges blacks with treason, will evict squatters JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - The white-minority government charged seven black dissidents with high treason yesterday and said it would go ahead and evict 60,000 people from a squatters camp near Cape Town despite riots over the plan.' In a new outbreak of violence yesterday, police in Seeisoville, 125 miles southwest of Johannesburg, fired rubber bullets at protesters after a funeral, killing at least one man. The dead mourner was the 23rd victim of racial unrest in South Africa in the last 10 days. Authorities announced they would pursue the eviction and relocation of some 60,000 blacks living in a Cape Town squatters camp, where the plan sparked riots earlier this week that left 18 people dead. Judge blocks MSU 'X'-film ban GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Michigan State University officials violated the constitutional rights of two student film group operators when they or- dered them shut down for showing X-rated movies, a federal judge ruled yesterday. Attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit in U.S. district Court in Grand Rapids Tuesday, charging the student film groups' first amendment rights to free speech and assembly had been violated by the university's actions. University officials said the groups were shut down because they were showing inappropriate fare and were operating on a profit-making basis not permitted under student activity group guidelines. U.S. District Judge Douglas Hillman issued a preliminary injuction lifting the- ban, stating the university's actions appeared to violate the First 4Amendmentt Economic growth exceeds hopes WASHINGTON - The economy grew at a robust 4.9 percent rate in the final three months of the year, far better than originally thought, the gover- nment said yesterday. Analysts reviewing the strong rebound in the gross national product, the broadest measure of the nation's economic health, said it would provide springboard needed to ensure good growth in the first half of 1985. However, beyond that point, some economists expressed pessimism about prospects in the last half of the year. President Reagan, taking credit for the economy's performance, said the "harvest of good news sprang from the seeds of new policies for greater economic freedon... that we planted in our first term." But Robert Ortner, chief economist at the Commerce Department, said part of the fourth quarter growth spurt was based on temporary factors which will not continue. 1IW 3tdpgan Utilg Vol. XVC-No. 119 The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967 X) is published Tuesday through Sunday during the Fall and Winter terms and Tuesday through Saturday during the Spring and Summer terms by students at the University of Michigan.
