Committee votes on parking structure By STEVE KNOPPER A citizens' committee on rebuilding Ann Arbor's City Hall - criticized during the last few years for being too small - voted Wednesday to make the n e w structure either a two or three-story buillding. The vote represents a narrowing of the 31-member committee's original seven options for renovating the building. The committee also voted to create an underground parking lot on the east side of the existing hall. Committee Chair Guy Larcom, former Ann Arbor city administrator, said members will finalize details during next week's meeting. The committee, which has been meeting for the last six months, will decide on parking spaces near the expansion, cost, and appearance. The committee will then present its findings to the City Council for the final vote, he said. "We've long outgrown that building," said City Councilmember Jeanette Middleton (R-Third Ward). "It's essential that we get more space. In the current City Hall, Middleton said, "There is no security anywhere. You can wander through people's offices, and the whole bit; people are stuffed in there like sardines." "The people at City Hall need more space in order to better serve the voters," said Councilmember Jeff Epton (D-Second Ward), but added that "there are a lot more things we could spend money on" like the city's solid waste disposal program. Administrative Assistant Dean Bowerbank estimated that the new project would cost $4 million, but the exact figure will not be set until a firm takes on the project. The expansion, he said, would probably be funded by a voter-approved bond issue on next April's city ballot. The bond issue would involve a raise in local taxes. Last April, voters defeated a similar bond issue for $18 million to finance a seven-story city hall extension.

The ad hoc committee, made of students and University workers, formed in response to Black University employee Mary Clark's charges that members of t h e University Building Services management had harassed her. Clark has also said repeatedly that other University maintenance workers have been harassed but are too scared of losing their jobs to make their allegations public. But UCAR steering committee member Michael Wilson told group members that their efforts were duplicating similar UCAR efforts to encourage workers to organize against racism, and that they should join forces with the mostly student- comprised group. Wilson said UCAR h a d established an outreach committee to search for ways to form links between students and workers. Ad hoc committee member Paul Carmouche encouraged his group's members to join the outreach commitee. Among the proposals f or fostering these bonds were inviting a worker to join UCAR's steering committee, sending UCAR members to worker meetings, and holding UCAR meeting on Saturday's to encourage workers to attend. Members of the ad hoc group expressed a willingness to join the outreach group and discussed goals the committee should work toward. Ad hoc group member Andrea Zaferes recommended that the committee make public statements indicating UCAR would support worker struggles like Clark's against the University during rallies honoring Martin Luther King Day on Jan.18. Zaferes also suggested that UCAR encourage students and workers to attend a mass meeting on Jan. 19 to discuss the formation of a racism review board. Other recommendations include educating students about working conditions at the University. Rajal Patel, another member of the UCAR steering committee, told the ad hoc group she hoped UCAR's efforts to form bridges with workers will encourage workers to form an anti-racism group like the Black Parent Support Group (BPSG). BPSG formed last October after Huron High School biology teach called a group of Black students in his class "niggers." Patel said UCAR has formed links with BPSG and that the two groups often work together. She said UCAR members canvassed area neighborhoods last week to illicit community support for the parent group. In other developments, Clark told the ad hoc committee that Building Services management moved her to a job in C.C. Little Building and makes her do more work than other employees there. She said she is responsible for cleaning the building's fifth floor and doing nightly projects like thoroughly cleaning laboratories. "They got me doing work that maybe hasn't been done in a month's time," she said. She also said management has attempted to splinter unity among workers by forbidding employees in East Engineering Building, Clark's former work place, from listening to music on the job and blaming Clark's activites for the ban. Linda Bolling, Building Services area supervisor, resposnible for both East Engineering and C.C. Little, could not be reached for comment.

Want to live for 4 weeks on the shore of a beautiful lake in northern Michigan? Want to learn about the native plants and animals of the region? Looking for meaningful contact with senior faculty? LOOK NO FURTHER! A new course, to be taught at the University of Michigan Biological Station in the northern Lower Peninsula, has been designed just for you. In this course, you'll d science, not just read about it. You'll monitor microclimate, collect plant fossils, learn to identify birds, attend class on a pontoon boat, and even find out what glaciers have to do with forestry. You'll interact with senior faculty in small discussion groups, in the field, and even at meals. This five-credit course for non-science majors will be a "hands-on" introduction to natural science. Classes in the field and lab will be combined with discussions, readings, and lectures to give an introduction to ecology, evolutionary biology, and scientific method. A major emphasis will be consideration of how organisms interact with their environment to grow and reproduce. The course will be taught over a four-week period (May 14-June 11, 1988) during the spring half-term, and will be limited to 3 sections of 17 students each. Students and faculty will live- in cabins at the Biological Station and all meals will be served in the dining hall at the Station. Tuition will be $490 for Michigan residents and $1360 for non-residents, and all students will pay a room and board fee of $320. For more Information, contact: Dr. James Teed, Biological Station, 2043 Natural Science Bldg., 763-4461 Development of this course is funded by the Provost's Undergraduate Initiatives Fund.
