Pierce spent two weeks in Nicaragua last year with the task force. Former Republican Mayor Lou Belcher says he understands Pierce's dilemma. "The mayor of this city could put in 200 hours a week if he had the time," Belcher says. "The tendency is to get wrapped up in it and ignore the city charter." Belcher, who says he worked 20 hours each week as mayor, adds that Pierce should "discipline himself' and avoid involving himself in the city administrator's work. City Administrator Godfrey Collins says he does not believe the W*,U * OI AMERICAN BAPTIST CAMPUS CENTER FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Huron St. (between State & Division) Sundays: 9:55 worship; 11:25 Bible Study groups for both Undergrads and Graduate Students.

He would not comment further. The main obstacle blocking a full-time mayor position is money - the mayor's salary of $13,750 is far too low to attract someone full- time. And that salary is not likely to rise in the near future. Salaries for the mayor and city councilmembers are determined by the Local Officers Compensation Commission, a panel appointed by the mayor's office that meets every three years. The commission last year gave Pierce a raise from his previous salary of $10,000 but refused to grant his request for a $25,000 salary. Several commission members say they do not support a further raise. "As long as we have a city administrator, I think it should stay a part-time job," says Commission member Dan Halloran, a member of the Ann Arbor School Board. The mayor has traditionally been paid only a small stipend designed to cover expenses, according to city and commission officials. They could not provide specific figures. Tenants advertise spring sub lets (Continued from Page 1) University housing information office provides sub-tenant leases which are clearly written and provide everything students need for a successful sublet, according University Housing Advisor Sherie Veramay. "It's not a tough process," she said. "We're really happy to talk to people about it." Veramay said University sub- tenant leases protect tenants if problems arise, and makes sub- tenants aware of their respons- ibilities while they live in someone else's apartment. However, she said not all students choose to use housing's sublet lease.

EVERYONE INVITED MODERN Management rental company also provides helpful services for tenants, according to Office Manager Sandy Sergent. "We want to know our tenants," she said. The company takes a poll of tenants who wish to sublet, rental rates, security deposits, and length of availability, then advertise the rooms and apartments in the Daily's spring/summer sublet supplement, she said. Modern Management insists that subtenants fill out their application and be approved as one of their tenants, Sergent said. When tenants sublet to friends with casual negotiations, Veramay said, problems often occur because of misunderstandings concerning rent payment, maintenance, and phone and utility bills. "It's a business transaction," she said. Subtenant forms substantiate the seriousness of the situation and forestall problems. THE HOUSING Office distributes guidelines for subletting which explain the entire procedure. Housing suggests getting a security deposit from subtenants, keeping in touch with the landlord to assure the subtenants are behaving responsibly and paying their rent, and using an inventory checklist before and after the sublet. It's easier to find subtenants for spring term than summer term, because more students choose to stay, according to housing's guidelines. Subletters can expect to rent out efficiencies and one- bedrooms, which go quickest, for 75 percent or more of the regular rental rate. Two bedroom and larger units sublet for 50 to 75 percent of the regular rental rate. Veramay said this season's sublet market is no different than in other years. Senate continues probe into troubled Zilwaukee Bridge LANSING - The state Senate agreed yesterday to give subpoena power to a panel probing the safety of the over-budget, behind-schedule Zilwaukee Bridge. On a voice vote, senators gave the State Affairs, Tourism and Transportation Committee the power to subpoena witnesses. With that power comes the ability to find uncooperative witnesses in contempt of the Legislature and to threaten them with up to five years in prison. Shortly after the panel got the power, it approved its first five subpoenas. Soviets release dissident's son from labor camp FRANKFURT, West Germany- Soviet authorities have freed the teen-age son of dissident Anatoly Koryagin from a labor camp and told the family to apply for permission to leave the Soviet Union, a human rights group said yesterday. The elder Koryagin, one of the Soviet Union's best-known dissidents, was released from prison last month after serving five years of a 12-year term for accusing authorities of sending sane dissidents to psychiatric hospitals. The Frankfurt-based International Association for Human Rights said it reached Koryagin by telephone at his home in the city of Kharkov yesterday and was told 19-year-old Ivan had returned home the day before. Hostage in Lebanon says fellow American is dying BEIRUT, Lebanon - Moslem kidnappers released a videotape yesterday of American hostage Jesse Turner saying fellow American captive Alann Steen is dying. "You all know that our fellow Alann Steen is dying," Turner said in the videotape delivered to the daily newspaper in As-Safir. "The doctor says in his report that: 'After checking the patient - Alann Steen I found out that he had a crisis in his blood pressure... The symptoms he had were: headache, hemiparicia, anxiety and difficulty in breathing,"' Turner said. The videotape was accompanied by a typewritten English text of Turner's statement. Two female prison guards assaulted at Ionia prison IONIA - At least two female prison guards were assaulted at the Michigan Training Unit in Ionia, including one victim who was raped and choked by a convict, authorities said. The attacks were revealed in the wake of the slaying Tuesday of prison guard Josephine McCallum, 28, who was raped and beaten to death while working alone in an area at the State Prison of Southern Michigan at Jackson. In one case at the Ionia medium-security prison, a 30-year-old guard was raped and choked in the prison auditorium Aug. 24. Anthony Young, 26, of Detroit was convicted last month of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and is awaiting sentencing. 4 Read aMd Ub~e Dai4 CIagijed U Immediate Openings for 1987 Engineering/Computer Science/Technical Graduates (BS,MS) APRIL 2 Your future in technology could be in sales or software development. EXTRAS Scientists say sex scam spells self-destruction for insects WASHINGTON - Female tobacco budworm moths are being lured into self-destruction by male insects in a sex scam engineered by Ag- riculture Department scientists. The male budworms are sterile hybrids, causing the unsuspecting would-be mothers to lay eggs that don't hatch. "A sterile male can keep females busy two of the three nights they're looking to mate," said one USDA entomologist. "That's a lot of eggs kept unfertilized." The scam involves the cross-breeding of male budworms with "a related, harmless insect" cousin, the department's Agricultural Research Service said Friday. Marion Laster of the agency's Southern Field Crop Insect Manage- ment Laboratory in Stoneville, Miss., said the hybrids could save millions of dollars in crops lost to budworms, which quickly develop resistance to chemical pesticides. The new genetic control should be ready in about three years, when chemical resistance probably will be widespread, said Edgar King, a colleague of Laster's. If you see news happen, call 76-DAILY.
