something else, and put in the
refrigerator.
After the prosecution, defense, and
hearing council investigated the room
where the fire took place, Alan Silber,
Picozzi's lawyer called Peter Vallis, an
expert in fire investigation from New
York to the stand to testify on the
defendant's behalf.
VALLIS said that if Picozzi had set
the fire, he would have been burned
more severely.
"I have not seen in 23 years where an
arsonist didn't get burned in the front."
he said. Using the same photographs as
evidence, Vallis said that the gasoline
left marks that "show all the signs of
splash effect," and it was not carefully
poured there.
Vallis attempted to discredit
Monroe's testimony that the outside
burns on the door were caused by the
ignition of vapor seeping out the vents
on the door.
"IF VAPOR aspirated into the
hallway, it would not have done this.

This had to be done by droplets out-
side." Vallis also said that if the fire
was indeed set from within the room,
"the remains of the gas container
would be there."
Based on tests he conducted in his
laboratory, Vallis said there was not
enough time for Picozzi to completely
rinse out gasoline from a container in
the short time that Monroe said elapsed
from its distribution.
After the hearing adjourned, Silber
said, he thought testimony went well.
"Today we had the unveiling of the
fireball. In order for the University of
Michigan to win, you must believe the
fireball theory."
UNIVERSITY attorney Peter Davis
was also confident about the testimony
and was looking forward to "my cross
examination of the so-called expert
(Vallis)".
More witnesses will be called today
and Wednesday, before oral sum-
mations Wednesday afternoon. A
decision is five or six weeks away.

documentation which suggests that tax-
payers may lose out on investment
returns if they withdraw stocks in South
Africa businesses. He suggested that
they city council might play a larger
role in changing policy in the nation
which practices apartheid if com-
munity leaders sat on the board of
directors of the controversial firms.
But Councilman Lowell Peterson (D-
first ward), answered that the purpose
behind divestment "is to kick the props
out from under the companies."
And Hunter added that there are 20
states with plans to divest, and that
other cities, and even Michigan State
University, fully divested without
losing any money from investment
returns.

Some council members said that
some of the firms in which the city's
pension money is invested abide by the-
Sullivan Principles, a set of rules for
equal treatment of black employees in
white-controlled firms.
But Hunter said the Sullivan Prin
ciple only gets at solving part of the
apartheid problem.
"Even if a man works for a company
that abides by the Sullivan agreement
he still needs a pass to return home at
night, and is not allowed to vote," he
said.
In other action, the council passed a
resolution which asks the city ad-
ministrator to study alternative ways of
impounding vehicles for unpaid
parking tickets instead of towing.

classified research matters, said mem-
ber Andrea Walsh.
The students said they want more
than just a discussion with Shapiro.
They would like him to attend "so there
can be a public recognition of what the
Uni ersity says and does" on classified
research matters, said PSN member
Andrea Walsh, an LSA junior.
ONE TOPIC the forum will consider
is if the University's guidelines for
classified research, which prohibit
research with the capacity to injure or
destroy human life, are effective.
Ingrid Kock, a junior LSA student,
said Shapiro has been a "big influence"
on the University's classified research
policies. Kock, who served a 12-day jail
sentence along with fellow PSN mem-
ber Nancy Aronoff for a sit-in last Mar-
ch at a campus laboratory, said Shapiro
"approved a Sussman decision to ap-
prove anti-submarine warfare
project."
Shapiro later said, "I do not partic-
pate in the process unless someone con-
sults (me)." He added that Sussman
POLICE
NOTES
Four thefts in campus
area
Jewelery worth $8,000 was found
missing from an apartment on the 2000
block of Stone Drive in the Northwood
Apartments Sunday evening. A bike
worth $110 was stolen from the music
school parking lot early yesterday
morning after its lock had been cut. A
burglar walked through an unlocked
door on the 1300 block of Olivia early
Saturday and left with $75 in cash. And
a door was forced open on the 300 block-
of South Division. A stereo and two
jackets, valued at less than $450, were
taken from the apartment early Satur-
day morning.
Con men strike
Ann Arbor police are investigating a
case involving two or more men imper-
sonating Ann Arbor police detectives.
An 81-year-old Ann Arbor woman
reported that she gave the con men
$7,000 in jewelry. According to Detec-
tive Norm Olmstead, the men struck
again Sunday evening at the home of a
31-year-old woman on Cook street, but
they were unsuccessful.

has the final say in the process, as
outlined by the regents.
Sussman discussed the possibility of
accepting the submarine contract,
Shapiro said, but "that's because he
chose to do it."
The panel will be moderated by Ann
Coleman, a campus minister. Other
panelists will be Aronoff, who is a
member of the Classified Review
Panel, Daniel Axelrod, a physics
professor, and Sussman.
Corrections
A story and editorial appearing in the
Daily last week incorrectly said that
several city council candidates did not
make an appearance at a forum spon-
sored by the Michigan Gay Un-
dergraduates.
Several candidates did make an ap-
pearance later in the evening.
