,-age 2-- The Michigan Daily - Monday, January 23, 1989 Students BY STACEY GRAY On Friday night, students tired of fraternity parties, house parties, bars and clubs were offered another option - a chance to dance for charity. The dance, sponsored by the South Quad Council and the Residence Hall Association, raised close to $2,000 for the Muscular Dystro- phy Association (MDA). Over 150 students danced to the sounds of three live bands in the South Quad dining room. Later in the evening, two comedians entertained students with stand-up humor. A five-dollar donation admitted students to the dance, though they were encouraged to give more, said Tim Livingston, president of the South Quad Council. South Quad residents raised over $1,000 in dance fc pledges prior to the dance, said Jeff Flocken, treasurer of the council and.LSA sophomore. "It started out as an idea, and it grew. We wanted to do something for charity," said Tracie Behrendt, vice president of South Quad Council and an LSA sophomore. "Most of all I was really pleased about how much money we made," Flocken said. With lights dimmed and crepe paper strewn from the ceiling, the dining room resembled a dance hall. Flocken said that although the dance com- peted with popular fraternity parties, it was a success. And students who did come to the dance, ended up staying until the early morning hours. "I think people are reluctant to go to resident hall-type parties... it was a good time," said Liv- r charity ingston. He said he thinks more people would show up for another South Quad (lance in the future be- cause those who went to this one had a great time. South Quad resident Nat Chaitkin, a music school sophomore, said he was drawn to the event not for the music, but for the comedy. The three bands - Fully Loaded, Big Box of Nines and Under the Influence - played for no charge to raise money to fight muscular dystro- phy. Comedians Tom Franck and Peter Berman also performed for free. Door prizes, given away on the hour, were donated by Ann Arbor businesses. South Quad Council will contribute additional money to increase the donations to MDA. i' Farley Continued from Page 1 department.

Reverend Davidson Loehr, minister of the People's Church in Kalamazoo, criticized the anti-choice movement's manipulation of reli- gious doctrine and ignorance of complicated moral issues. "When a pope stands in front of millions of starving and illiterate human beings in Mexico City, and tells them t- breed like rabbits and hamsters, it is more than irresponsi- ble. It is evil, and we must face it," Loehr said. The crowd, made up mostly of white women, carried signs and chanted slogans such as "Right to Life; It's a lie. They don't care if women die." LSA sophomore Michelle Fleis- cher, who attended the rally, ex- pressed her concern that not enough young women - those most af- fected by Roe v. Wade - were present at the rally. "If Roe v.Wade is overturned, it will ultimately affect our choice over our bodies," Fleischer said. Housing Continued from Page 1 Fred Gruber, an Ann Arbor-area landlord, said, "There is more availability this year because of the new apartments that were built last year on the outskirts of Ann Arbor." The increasing vacancy rate has also kept rents basically stable this year, landlords said. But if the house is a popular one, the rent will rise accordingly. Gruber said the standard rent increase is 4 percent (the inflation rate), but it can be higher or lower depending on the popularity of the particular unit. But a more open housing market and stable rent won't solve many of the problems posed by house-hunt- ing, Rumsey said, especially those that arise between the tenants. Rumsey advised students to work out problems such as parking and subletting with their roommates be- fore signing a lease. "Most problems arise between tenants themselves rather than between tenant and landlord," she said. Rumsey said students should make a checklist of what all the roommates want, look at the listing board in the Housing Office in the Student Activities Building, make appointments with rental agents, and look carefully at a sample copy of the lease. If there are any ambigui- ties in the lease, the Housing Division will provide help, she said. LSA sophomore David Lein- heardt, for example, needed to find a place that rented by the month because he is going abroad second semester next year. Leinheardt is looking into Tower Plaza right now, he said. Although the apartments are more expensive, he concluded he would lose even more money by leasing a 12-month apartment and having to sublet it. Rumsey also emphasized that students should make appointments through the agent to see the rental property because current residents may be annoyed by the intrusion. However, Shulak didn't think making appointments is necessary. "There is sort of a camaraderie between the residents and the people looking because they have been through it before. My friends and I just rang peoples doorbells, and we didn't find any problems." IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Bundy nears execution; confesses to nine murders STARKE, Fla. - Ted Bundy, moving ever closer to the electric chair, yesterday tried to head off execution by at last confessing to some of the dozens of murders he is suspected of committing, authorities said. Bundy will die at 7 a.m. tomorrow unless the U.S. Supreme Court stays the execution. The court denied a Bundy appeal just a week ago, as have all other courts he has turned to since Thursday. Bundy, scheduled to die for the 1978 kidnap-murder of a 12-year-old girl from Lake City, Florida, at one time was linked to as many as 36 killings and disappearances of young women in several Western states. He was being questioned about the deaths of at least 24 women. Over the weekend, Bundy confessed to killing at least nine young women in Washington in 1974, said investigator Robert Keppel of the Washington attorney general's office. Police patrol Super Bowl MIAMI - Police set up checkpoints at Joe Robbie Stadium and pa- trolled Black neighborhoods yesterday as fans arrived in the city for the Super Bowl. Three hundred police officers had orders to allow only ticket-holders close to the stadium north of the city. In Overtown, where violence erupted last Monday night when a His- panic police officer fatally shot an unarmed Black motorcyclist, squads of riot police called "field forces" remained on alert, said Officer M. Tejeda. Miami had agonized about the tarnish to the city's image from the looting, shooting and burnings in Overtown and Liberty City, both im- poverished Black neighborhoods, during Super Bowl week. But after three days of violence, then three days of tense, but trouble- free nights, the city turned to football. Said a banner headline in The Miami Herald, "Put parties, anxiety be- hind: It's game day." Economists predict growth DETROIT - Michigan's economy will show a continued but un- eventful growth in 1989, leading to a seventh straight year of expansion, analysts said. Experts are placing their hopes for expansion on the U.S.-Canadian free trade agreement. "No state has a bigger stake in the trade agreement than Michigan," said David Littmann, senior economist at Manufacturers National Bank of Detroit . He estimated that the state exports up to $9 billion annually to Canada. Von Logan of the Michigan Employment Security Commission esti- mated an increase of 66,000 jobs in Michigan over last year's average to- tal employment of more than 4.2 million. Government hiring in Michigan could increase 2.5 percent this year and next because of preparations for the 1990 census, University economist George Fulton said. UAW faces internal conflict DEARBORN - United Auto Workers union leaders are facing their most serious internal threat in 40 years from dissenters who advocate less cooperation with management. UAW President Owen Bieber and about 350 UAW local leaders will meet in Dearborn on Friday and Saturday to formulate a strategy to defeat the dissenters. Union dissidents are expected to make a power grab at the UAW's constitutional convention June 18-23 in Anaheim, California, during which top leaders will be elected and policy will be set for the next three years. Region five Director Jerry Tucker and his followers oppose many of the recent cooperative labor-management contracts in the auto industry. Union leaders explain that the new contracts give workers a greater voice in the way things are run, but Tucker says the UAW is growing too close to management. EXTRAS Children can sue parents for dog bites, court says LANSING - A child bitten by his parents' dog may sue for damages if the bite was unprovoked, the Michigan Court of Appeals has ruled. The court on Thursday said the general rule that parents can't be sued by their children doesn't apply to dog bites under Michigan's dog bite statute. "In view of the Legislature's determination that dog owners will be li- able to persons injured while 'lawfully on or in a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog', we see no sound reason to deny re- covery on the basis of the parties' familial relationship," the ruling said. The decision reversed a Kent County District Court ruling in a suit brought on behalf of Jennifer Thelen, 6, by her mother. Jennifer was bit- ten in the face by a cocker spaniel while visiting at the home of her father and step-mother. The dog bite law clearly intends that only in cases where dogs are pro- voked into biting are owners spared liability, the court said.
