The Michigan Daily - Thursday, April 18, 1985 -page 3 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. The Pretzel Bell closed in December, 1984 because owner Clint Castor, Jr. mugs, cash registers, and old photographs of the Michigan football team, including one with former All- American Tom Harmon.

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."

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. aJ n r, ' .. , r r Q r ; Q ti t =-_; 3 -; - ; I ti Panel considers code plan (Continued from Page 1) 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.
