Lit an Ninety-seven years of editorial freedom Ann Arbor, Michigan - Wednesday, October 1, 1986 IIatIQ ol. XCVII - No. 20 1r - Copyright 1986, The Michigan Daily Reagan, Ten Pages orbachev to meet in ten days Arms talks will resume WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, ending the diplomatic tug-of-war provoked by Moscow's arrest of an American journalist, agreed yesterday to meet in Iceland in 10 days to resume the search for an arms control accord. The surprise summit was arranged as part of a deal that brought release Monday of Moscow correspondent Nicholas Daniloff and the expulsion yesterday of accused Soviet spy Gennadiy Zakharov. Another element was a Soviet pledge to free Yuri Orlov, a prominent Soviet dissident exiled to Siberia, as well as Orlov's wife, next week. HINTING at the carrot that lured hum away from several apparently inflexible public positions taken in recent weeks, Reagan told reporters, "The chances are better than they've been for many years for reaching some agreement on arms reduction." Secretary of State George Shultz said those chances include "reasonable prospects" for reducing medium-range missiles in Europe. U.S. officials refused to call the Oct. 11-12 session between Reagan and Gorbachev a summit, and said the administration did not expect the talks to produce the signing of a new arms accord. BUT REAGAN told world financial leaders a short time later at the International Monetary Fund that the October session is intended "to prepare the ground for a productive summit." Shultz said he still hopes a summit can take place later this year in the United States, as agreed to by Reagan and Gorbachev last year in Geneva. The one-on-one talks in Reykjavik, the secretary said, "will give a special push" to the various talks already going on at lower levels. Shultz said the hurry-up meeting scheduled in less than two weeks in the capital of the tiny NATO island nation was proposed by Gorbachev in a letter delivered to Reagan on Sept. 19, which also contained the Soviet Union's latest bargaining position on proposed nuclear weapons reductions. THE TWO sides had been carrying on arms control discussions at various levels while trying separately to settle the case of Daniloff, whose arrest on what Reagan insisted were "trumped up" spy charges cast a pall over U.S. -Soviet relations and dimmed prospects for a summit this year. Reagan insisted he would never trade Daniloff for Zacharov, who he said was caught red-handed trying to buy U.S. defense secrets for his government. But shultz and Soviet Foreign -Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, in several hours of closed-door meetings in Washington arid New Yor, worked out the package deal that gave both sides what they wanted most-with just enough face- saving provisions to enable both to claim victory. Reagan, for instance, insisted yesterday that "there was no commection" between Daniloff' release and Sakharov's expulsion. ASKED WHY that shouldn't be seen as the trade Reagan said he. would never make, Shultz suggested it had something to do with timing. Zakharov pleads no contest, ordered to return to Moscow NEW YORK (AP)-Soviet U.N. worker Gennadiy Zakharov pleaded no contest yesterday to three counts of spying and was ordered to leave the country within 24 hours, bringing an end to a superpower impasse. During a four-minute hearing in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, Ju-dge Joseph McLaughlin sentenced Zakharov to five years' probation. "It is a condition of probation,, that the defendant depart the United States within 24 hours and not return to the United States for the entire period of probation," the judge said. Zakharov spoke only when asked by the judge if his plea was voluntary and if he understood the agreement. "Yes," he replied. However, he smiled as he left the courtroom, telling reporters that he felt "great." Later, when his car stopped at a traffic light two blocks away, he rolled his window down and told reporters he loved the American people and hoped to return after his probation expired. He said he was happy to go home. His car was seen later headed south on the New Jersey Turnpike. The U.S. attorney's office said he would take a 4 p.m. Aeroflot flight from Dulles airport in Washington.

Zakharor ... returns to Moscow a Greeks face hassles finding more room. By MELISSA GESSNER In their search for new housing, members of the University's Greek system find themselves battling city zoning codes, irate neighbors, and unflattering stereotypes. "It's a very big problem for the Greek system as a whole," says David Reilly, a spokesman for the Interfraternity Council. Due to the Greek system's growing popularity, many fraternities and sororities want to find new houses or expand existing ones. They are prevented, however, by a lack of housing in Ann Arbor and oppostion from neighbors. "They have the ear of the city government. All we can say is we need housing," says Reilly. "We do philanthropic works, but that's not what the community sees." WHAT THE neighbors around some fraternity houses do see is a threat to the tranquility of their neighborhood. "They feel like they should party until four o'clock in .the morning, scream obscenities until four o'clock in the morning or at four o'clock in the afternoon when children are outside playing. They're doing things that I'm sure they'd never dream of doing in their own neighborhoods," says Ann Arbor resident Vickie Danhof, who lives near two fraternity houses. Danhof says the Greek system's growing popularity is bound to reverse eventually, so the rapid expansion of the amount of Greek housing is not necessarily a good idea., "These houses are not being kept the way they were bought; they're making huge additions. Who's going to live in those houses when the sororities go under again, which is inevitable. They don't realize that for the past year we've been extremely tolerant." "We knew that when we moved into the neighborhood that there would be different groups, but we liked the diversity. Now it's out of hand," Danhof says. "We're not their enemies, but it's not being construed that way. It's got to be give and take, and we're doing all the giving." "I WOULDN'T be opposed if they moved into a house already used by a large student group," says another neighbor, Andrea Van Houweling. "They live so much more densely on a lot than we do that it causes more problems than parties - for example, garbage pick-up, deliveries, and cars, cars, cars." Parking is a tremendous problem for areas populated by the Greeks, who primarily live around North Burns Park. Three-quarters of neighborhood houses are family homes, but many of the parking spaces are utilized by students. "We all knew we moved into an area that had them, but we're at a saturation point," Van Houweling says. To remedy this situation, residents in 42 out of 45 North Burns Park homes have signed a petition to prevent the further expansion of fraternities -and sororities. "They have never been worse than this year," says Van Houweling. "Their houses are not large enough for their parties."

Judge Edward Deake entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf. Skinner is charged with breaking and entering, breaking and entering with intent to commit criminal sexual assault, and breaking and entering with first degree rape. He is being held on $105,000 bond. ACCORDING to Lt. Dale Heath of the Ann Arbor Police Department, Skinner was rapist of students arrested for prowling around residents' homes two days after the second reported attack on Greenwood Street Sept.12. He was apprehended near the location of the rape. Skinner was held on $50,000 bond while police organized a line-up, and both assault victims identified him as their assailant. Both women described the suspect as a black man in his 20s. The method of attack was the same in both cases - the assailant broke into the house, covered his victim's mouth with his hand, and assaulted her. Police officers stopped and questioned Skinner near East Ann Street nine minutes after the first victim described her assailant, Heath said. Last week, Skinner waived his right to a preliminary examination, where the prosecution has to prove that a crime was committed and show that there is enough evidence against the defendant to bring him to trial. The case will is scheduled to be tried in the Washtenaw County Circuit Court in December. Skinner also faces charges of auto theft from earlier this year, according to his attorney, Walter White. DETROIT (AP) - A retired brigadier general was arrested yesterday by the FBI and charged with bribing a U.S. Army captain in hopes of winning a $1 billion defense contract for a Kansas trucking firm. Retired Brig. Gen. George Young Jr., was charged with paying $8,100 over two years to Capt. James McDowell, a contract officer stationed at the U.S. Tank Automotive Comand in Warren. YOUNG, of Leavenworth, Kan., was arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Steven Pepe in Detroit and released on $50,000 personal bond, the FBI said. Kenneth Walton, FBI chief in Michigan, told reporters the 29- year army veteran paid McDowell $300 per month from June 1984 to August 1986 in a scheme to help the undisclosed Kansas trucking firm with the lucrative contract for a tactical. loading vehicle. He was arrested at the Warren facility yesterday morning shortly after allegedly delivering a payment to McDowell, Walton said. The FBI does not plan to file charges against McDowell, who notified authorities immediately after Young allegedly offered the bribes, Walton said.
