Proposal would limit new houses, additions THE PROPOSAL, which will be debated at a public hearing next Tuesday, would change city zoning laws to prohibit "group housing" on 45 of 66 lots in the area south of Hill Street and west of Washtenaw Avenue. If approved by the commission and then by the Ann Arbor City Council, the rezoning would allow only single- and double-family dwellings. City zoning laws regulate development and land use in specific geographic areas. Currently, of the 66 lots in the North Burns Park area, 21 house fraternities, sororities, co-operatives, or other non- residential groups, according to Jerry Clarke, a staff planner for the City Planning Department. The proposal would allow groups already living in the area to remain. Clarke said the department, which advises the planning commission, will endorse on Friday a "scaled-back version" of the proposal submitted by the North Burns Park Association. Association members collected 42 signatures from neighborhood families requesting the rezoning.

The Cellar closed its Central and North Campus locations Dec. 24 after Citizens Trust refused to renew the store's $700,000 line of credit and called in a $102,000 balance of a loan the Cellar used for its North Campus branch, said Cellar manager Jane Self. "We were more in default, we lost money this year, and we changed loan officers in the middle of the summer. They were generally uneasy about our organization," said Self. The Cellar defaulted on a clause in its contract with Citizens Trust requiring them to keep $200,000 in working capital. The bookstore lost $140,000 this year. THE CELLAR made money only once - in 1985 - since its move five years ago out of the Michigan Union. Self said there was no single reason the Cellar went out of A passerby notices a sign in the win- dow of the University Cellar an- nouncing the bookstore's demise. business. Reasons included a payroll supporting about 50 full- time permanent workers, an increase in rent at the North Campus location this year, computerization of the textbook system,, and a change in the management structure which created new middle management positions.

Roses bloom for Devils, wilt for '' By MARK BOROWSKY Special to the Daily PASADENA, Calif. - Blame the turf. Blame the fans. Blame Disneyland. Even blame the weather. Yes, "blame" was the functional word for Michigan in the 1987 Rose Bowl. But for whatever reason one cites for this year's Big Ten collapse, the final result of this year's Rose Bowl was all too predictable. Michigan took a 12-point lead before 103,168 fans before falling to Arizona State last Thursday in Pasadena 22-15. Excuses were made, but the reasons for the loss were simple. Football games are usually won on the line of scrimmage, and that's where Michigan lost this one. Arizona State dominated both sides of the line, whether giving Sun Devil running back Darryl Harris (23 carries, 112 yards) gaping holes or constantly harassing Michigan quarterback Jim Harbaugh, who tossed three interceptions. MICHIGAN finished at 11-2, and ranked eighth by both wire service polls, while Schembechler is now 1-7 in the Rose Bowl. See THE, Page 13.

TODAY- Deductible sneakers After the Internal Revenue Service faulted that argument, Cecil appealed to the U.S. Tax Court, which now has given him the back of its hand.A key factor in determining whether work uniforms are deductible is that they may not be suitable for general off-the-job wear, the court noted. And in this case, the court added, "It is relatively have held as far back as 1948 that even though a business wardrobe is essential to holding a job, the cost is generally a non-deductible personnel expense.
