Quake ravages
* Soviet village;
up to 1000 dead
Harassment
MOSCOW (AP) - A pre-dawn
earthquake in Soviet Central Asia
unleashed a 50-foot high wall of dirt
and mud that buried a mountain vil-
lage and swept through at least two
others Monday, killing up to 1,000
people as they slept, officials said.
The quake struck the southwest-
ern part of Tadzhikistan, a Soviet
republic of more than 4.8 million
people that borders Afghanistan and
China.
The U.S. Geological Survey in
Reston, Va., estimated the quake
was at 5.4 on the Richter scale,
which measures ground motion as
recorded on a seismograph. The Dec.
7th earthquake in northwestern Ar-
menia, 1,300 miles west of Du-
shanbe, registered a 6.9 on the Rich-
ter scale and killed 25,000 people.
Officials and Soviet media said
the devastation was vast and total in
*places.
"Almost everybody died," Zainid-
din Nasreddinov, Editor-in-Chief of
Tadzhikistan's official news agency,
said by telephone after visiting the
wrecked
Sharora.
farming settlement of
Sharora "had more than 150 peas-
ant households before that tragic
moment," the Soviet news agency
Tass reported. "Now most of it is
razed to the ground by the ruthless
force of the natural calamity."
Tass said the number of dead in
the disaster zoneI,800 miles south-
east of Moscow was estimated
atl,000, but cautioned that was a
preliminary figure.
"Almost all of the victims died
asleep in the beds," Maj. Alexander
Loparev, duty officer at Tadzhikistan
Interior Ministry headquarters in
Dushanbe said by telephone.
According to preliminary fig-
ures, the quake and landslide de-
stroyed about 100 buildings, includ-
ing five schools and a maternity
hospital near the epicenter.
In Sharora, "cries and wails can
be heard everywhere," Tass reported.
"Some are bemoaning and burying
their near and dear ones, while others
are trying to find the few survivors
between the thick layer of sand and
clay."

Council delays waste
BY KRISTINE LALONDE
At last night's Ann Arbor City Council
meeting, councilmembers tabled two proposals
on the waste issue - which would have estab-
lished four new recycling drop-off centers, a
compost waste dump, and a weekly date for haz-
ardous household waste disposal - until Feb. 6.
The council postponed the decision because
the newly appointed Waste Reduction and Re-
source Recovery Coordinator will not take office
until Feb. 6. The coordinator will be in charge of
implementing all waste and recycling programs.
Councilmember Jeff Epton (D-3rd Ward) said

fails to
come
through
BY ADAM SCHRAGER
First-place Indiana stunned a
raucous sellout crowd of 13,609 at
Crisler Arena last night with a 71-70
victory over previously unbeaten-at-
home Michigan.
The Wolverines had an
opportunity to win the game in the
final seconds but Terry Mills missed
a 20-foot jump shot. Mark Hughes
grabbed the rebound but could not
convert the rebound opportunity in
the waning seconds.
"We wanted to get Glen (Rice)
inside, but we looked inside and it
wasn't there," Michigan head coach
Bill Frieder said. "He (Terry) had to
take it."
After Hughes' miss, Indiana's Jay
Edwards recovered the loose ball to
preserve the Hoosier victory and
their unbeaten conference record.
It was fitting that Edwards
recovered the last ball as it was his
scoring won the game. He scored 29
points, including 15 of Indiana's last
21.
The Hoosier lead fluctuated
between one and three for the last
five minutes, with Edwards missing
a three-point attempt with 45
seconds remaining. Michigan called
timeout to set up a play for the last
shot and the win. After calling
timeout again with14 seconds left,
the Wolverines set up what would be
their futile attempt.
At the start of the second half
the decision was tabled until the new coordinator
and his staff have the chance to draft a report on
possible solutions to the waste problem.
"Passing a resolution before the completion of
the report puts emphasis on some things and
none on others," Epton said, "It sets a priority
that's not appropriate to set with the information
we have now."
Councilmember Liz Brater (D-3rd Ward) said
the proposals were not comprehensive. "These
are piecemeal measures," said Brater. "My con-
cern is that we implement a solid waste program
as comprehensively as possible."
proposal
The proposed weekly hazardous waste disposal
would be an increase in frequency from the yearly
program currently in place. Ann Arborites would
dispose of household items such as paint thinner,
car batteries and other chemical hazards during the
disposal. Disposing these wastes in the landfill
contaminates ground water.
The compost dump, which would generate
fertilizer from decomposed natural wastes, would
be located next to the current landfill.
If the variable fee were implemented, a yearly
limit would be imposed on free garbage pick-up

Miami police officer
17 4arrested for murder
MIAMI (AP) - The police of-
ficer whose fatal shooting of a Black
motorcyclist sparked last week's
racial violence was arrested yesterday
and charged with "manslaughter"
only hours after the victim's funeral.
Officer William Lozano was
charged in the killings of Clement
Lloyd and Allen Blanchard. The two
were speeding on a motorcycle Jan.
16 in Overtown, Fla. when Lozano
allegedly shot Lloyd in the head.
Lloyd died at the scene and Blanchard,
his passenger, died the next day from
injuries suffered in the ensuing crash.
Lozano was booked into Dade
County Jail on two counts of
"manslaughter" and released after
posting $10,000 bail.
An 11-member independent re-
view panel of police officers and
Black leaders, established by the city
commission after the rioting, held its
first working session yesterday in the
now-quiet Overtown.
The review board is scheduled to
make a preliminary report to the
commission on Thursday, looking
more broadly into the underlying so-
cial problems in Overtown.
The rioting following Lloyd's
death resulted in one death and 11
wounded. Fire officials reported an
estimated $1 million in damages to
building structures.
"As Martin Luther King said, we
live together as rational human be-
ings or die together as fools, not
only in Miami, but all over Amer-
ica," said the Rev. Morris Lloyd, the
victim's uncle in his eulogy.
"It is ironic that Clement ...
should be gunned down on the very
day we celebrate the birthday of the
founder of the civil rights move-
ment," said the Rev. Dennis
Archibald, pastor of The Church of
God in Opa-locka.
Lloyd's mother and other family
members, most immigrants from the
Virgin Islands, wept and cried out as
the mourners sang Rock of Ages.
