I The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, September 10, 1985 - Page 3 City Council approves Village Corner renovation plans By AMY MINDELL The Ann Arbor City Council unanimously approved renovation plans for the Bagel Factory and Village Corner at last night's meeting. The Bagel Factory plans to add a glassed-in seating area, according to owner Dave Solo. Construction will begin "right after the football season," said Solo. "We've generated a substantial deli and have no place to put anyone," he said. VILLAGE Corner will be ap- proximately doubled in floor size and a second story will be added, with a third story depending on whether a tenant can be found for it according to architect Terry Alexander. Councilman Lowell Peterson (D- First Ward) questioned Alexander if the "high-tech" appearance of the planned facade indicated a chane in the unique "funkiness" of Village Corner. Alexander said though the building will be totally different, "the way people are dealt with will be the same." MAYOR ED Pierce supported the site plans but admitted he thinks "the ambience is terrible in there." Alexander said "Village Corner is a small neighborhood grocery store, it needs increased space to display stuff and increase lighting." In other action, Jeannette Mid- dletop (R-Third Ward) asked City Administrator Godfrey Collins "why every year as students come back do we start road repairs?" In reference to Hill and Huron streets. "It is an embarrassment to the city of Ann Ar- bor ... people ask and I don't have a good answer." City Administrator Godfrey Collins had no answer, but agreed to look into the matter.

Speaking from his Oval Office desk, Reagan said his adoption of a course of action he had resisted for more than four years was not a change in policy, but an overture for Congress and the American people to "join together behind a common program." In Europe, Britain told its European Common Market partners that it would oppose any economic sanctions against South Africa, even though President Reagan announced several steps yesterday to put pressure on the white minority government. The British statement reflected continuing and deep divisions among Western nations about the value of economic sanctions to force change in South Africa. Some European nations, as well as Canada and Australia, have already imposed sanctions. BRITISH Foreign Secretary Sir Geoffrey Howe spoke to reporters as foreign ministers of the Common Market nations gathered in Luxem- bourg for a meeting today to con- sider joint sanctions aimed at forcing an end to South Africa's apartheid policy. "We share the U.S. aim of wanting to avoid measures that are destruc- tive to the South African economy," Howe told reporters. "We therefore remain opposed to mandatory economic sanctions." Pressure is building in Europe, however, for the Common Market to take a tougher stance. In Brussels, a coalition of 13 anti- apartheid groups from eight Common Market nations urged the foreign ministers to adopt strong measures. i _ t r r A
