Pretzel Bell auctions off history
By CAROLINE MULLER
The Pretzel Bell Restaurant was
finally put to rest yesterday as Internal
Revenue Serice employees auctioned
off over 500 items to the public, in-
cluding chairs, tables, cooking utensils,
stoves, and University memorabilia.
The auction began at 9:30 yesterday
morning at 122 E. Liberty St. and lasted
through the afternoon, attracting many
local antique collectors, shop owners,
and yes, University alumni.
"I SPENT my 21st birthday here,"
said Henry Nassko, a 1964 University
graduate. He explained how he had
stood on a table and chugged a pitcher
of beer while employees rang the bell.
Naasko said he was interested in pur-
chasing a copy of the Victors song
which was sold later for $1,000 - a little
out of his price range.
Another alumnus, J. Downs Harold,
looked wistfully at a table with the
large letters "DOWNS" neatly carved
in the woodwork. The table had a large
"SOLD" sign on the front.
THE IRS would not release the exact
amount of money spent at the auction,
but Walt Dunigan, a spokesperson for
the IRS, said the proceeds exceeded the
goal.

1984 because owner Clint Castor, Jr.

their first "legal" pitcher.
Lyons, who was at the University for
more than 30 years until he left in 1954,
said, "I felt that (the bell) was the most
significant Ann Arbor memorabilia to
be auctioned in the last 25 years."
The black bell, which sold for $3,000,
will now hang in Lyons' private
museum, which he says is "strictly for
socializing."
Lyons said he thought the bell was a
"part of history that should be preser-
ved. . . I thought it ought to not be ex-
ploited."

"I think anybody can imagine what
the military uses might be - com-
puters, for example, run our entire
early warning systems," Meyer added.
NUCLEAR engineering Prof. Ronald
Gilgenbach, who is doing basic resear-
ch in laser and electron beam
technology, said his work will help
produce new welding techniques for the
automobile industry.
PSN member Ingrid Kock, however,
said she believes that "before the
University approves this, there should
be a discussion in the University com-
munity about it. I don't think it should
be left to a few professors and ad-
ministators."
"It really bothers me that a few
people are making these decisions
when there's already so much concern
about research on campus," Kock said.
TO FACILITATE a University-wide
discussion of the issue, Kock said, PSN
is sponsoring a forum today in the West
Engineering Building. Kock said she
invited Prof. Howe to the session, but
that Howe declined.
Professor Howe confirmed that he
will not attend the forum, saying he
"doesn't think that sort of a confron-
tational type atmosphere is the best en-
vironment in which to have an un-
emotional discussion."
"I think the people against it feel very
strongly about it and are strongly
espousing their views. That's their
privilege, but I don't think it creates a
good environment for discussion,"
Howe said.
A Strategic Defense Initiative
Organization official in Washington,
who refused to be identified, declined to
comment on the University's chances
for obtaining research funding.

Panel considers code plan

posed of three students, three faculty
members, and three administrators -
will probably not be able to agree on the
specifics of a code.
"I DON'T think there's any
possibility of concurrence" on the
details of what a code will cover,
Livermore said. "(Decentralizing)
may be the only feasible way to pursue
this."
But Donald Rucknagel, another
faculty representative, said the council,
hasn't given itself a chance to come up
with a centralized approach, and that
having different entities working on the
same problem may be more trouble
than it's worth.
