Page 2- The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, February 7, 1989 ROBIN LOZNAK/Dally Ann Arbor's only landfill is running out of space for more garbage. The Ann Arbor City Council is preparing to im- plement a multi-million dollar program designed to reduce the city's waste. yWaste, Cpntinued from Page 1 educational reason...

"Now it's time for the city leaders to put their bucks where their mouths are," he said. In addition to increased recycling, task force members want a composting program. Composting separates yard waste, such as leaves and grass, to decay in a special facil- ity until it decomposes into fertilizer or fuel. Midland, Michigan has a successful composting program in place which has reduced the city's waste by 10 percent. The task force hopes Ann Arbor will reach that percentage by 1995. Another possibility for reducing local waste is placing a limit on the amount of garbage each house may generate. One way to enforce the limit would be a sticker system; only garbage bags with city-issued stickers would be picked up for dis- posal. Once the household runs out of stickers more must be purchased from the city. Seattle, Washington - a city renowned for its handling of solid waste disposal - has put into place a limitation on household garbage. Each house is allowed one garbage can for weekly pickup, with each additional can costing $9 a month. The Seattle program has resulted in increased awareness in waste out- put, Seattle city officials said. Al- though recycling isn't mandatory, the stiff fine for extra garbage has helped the city's recycling participa- tion rate climb to 70 percent. The third part of the series will focus on how Ann Arbor officials will fund the waste reduction pro- grams. IN BRIEF Compiled from Associated Press and staff reports Governor to announce program for home buyers LANSING - First-time home buyers would get a guaranteed down payment no matter what happens to house prices by investing in a new state program designed to give everyone a crack at "the American dream," Governor James Blanchard said yesterday. Blanchard said the goal of the Home Ownership Savings Trust program, which he'll announce tonight in his State of the State address, is to help young families save the five or ten percent down payment they need to buy a house. "Anything government can do to help the next generation realize their dreams is extremely.important," Blanchard said. "I think this program will not only work, but sweep the country." Details of the program are still being worked out, but Blanchard said he hopes it will begin operation this year. Treasury officials said they believe the program can be implemented without approval from the Legislature. Soviets leave Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan - The last military convoys rolled north to the border Monday, more than a week before the deadline for the Red Army to leave, Soviet officials said. Hundreds of Soviet soldiers guarded the airport, where military trans- ports brought in food and fuel to ease shortages caused by a blockade of Kabul by Moslem guerrillas who surround it. The Communist Party newspaper Pravda said "the last Soviet soldier left Kabul," on Sunday. But Soviet officials in the Afghan capital said about 1,000 Red Army troopers would remain at the airport until the end of next week. Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, met with officials in neighboring Pakistan, but did not find a way to end the 11-year civil war peacefully. He said Monday the Soviets would continue supporting the Marxist government in Kabul, but would not send troops back into the country. Bush presents S&L plan WASHINGTON - President Bush yesterday called on banks and thrift institutions to pay higher deposit insurance premiums as part of a $100 billion solution to the savings and loan crisis, but recommended no direct fee on individual depositors. "We intend to restore our entire insured deposit system to health," the president told reporters in outlining a series of regulatory changes and vowing to prosecute any wrong doings at S&Ls that have failed thus far. "In all the time since creation of the deposit insurance, savers have not lost one dollar of insured deposits and I am determined that they never will," Bush said. An estimated $100 billion is need to rescue the ailing industry. Bush said the interest on the bonds would be financed by higher insur- ance premiums. Separately, Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady outlined a plan for members of Congress that called for higher premiums paid into the deposit insurance fund. Club bans women athletes DETROIT - Women can join the posh and formerly all-male Detroit Athletic Club, but they can't dine in its Grill Room, swim in its pool during most-popular hours or use its bowling alley.

Woman can't use the pool before 9 a.m., at noon or between 5 and 7 p.m. The bowling alley is closed to them because there aren't doors on an adjacent men's locker room. The Grill Room remains for men only. "The restrictive bylaws still apply," Executive director M.A. Bossler said. "It's a private club and they join. knowing what the club is about," he said. "It's not the easiest place for a woman," club member Denise Astro said, but adde4 that it didn't bother her because "I know it will change." EXTRAS. Tapes speak words of love GRAND RAPIDS - A developer of subliminal tapes has produced what he believes is the most romantic Valentine's Day gift of all fidelity. "Faithfully Yours" is a 60-minute cassette tape of easy-listening music with inaudible messages of fidelity that only the subconscious mind can hear, said Dr. Paul Tuthill, founder and president of.Mind Communica- tions, Inc., based in Grand Rapids. Such phrases as "I am faithful to my mate", "My mate fulfills all my needs" and "Only my mate excites me," are a few of the 24 spoken mes- sages that are repeated 2,500 to 3,000 times and synchronized to music. "The tape really focuses attention back on your mate, on the basic need to be with one person," Tuthill said Monday. "I think they're hogwash," Howard Shevrin psychology professor at the University's Medical Center said.

Crime in Michigan increased in the 70's without an increase in prison spending." Regent Philip Power (D-Ann Ar- bor) criticized state spending on pris- ons last October when he told the University Board of Regents that the state spends $20,000 annually per prisoner, but only $4,403 per Univer- sity student. The Michigan Depart- ment of Corrections confirmed these figures. Campus officials have been critical of University tuition increases in the past, including the 25 percent hike over the last three years. Armenian quake victims treated in US BUSINESS BOSTON-(AP) Victims of the recent Armenian earthquake, some so severely injured that their limbs, skulls and bones are crushed, are be- ginning to arrive in the United States this week for medical treat- ment. For example, 15 year old Lena has come to the United States for operations that may restore her para- lyzed left hand. Doctors say she was trapped under the rubble for three days with her mother. Unaware that her mother had died , the teen-ager clutched her so tightly that her hand was frozen into a claw shape. "The (Soviet) doctors told us very sad stories," Nishan Goudsouzian, chief of pediatric anesthesiology at Massachusetts General Hospital said at a news conference. "They said that they didn't get their first smile from a kid for three weeks. The kids couldn't sleep through the night. They said that one would start crying and all the others would start." Dr John Remensnyder, a plastic surgeon from Massachusetts Gen- eral Hospital said "The quality of care given to victims in the Soviet Union was excellent" Hair Styling with a Flair - 6 Barber Stylists for MEN & WOMEN - NO WAITING!!! DASCOLA STYLISTS Opposite Jacobson's 668- 932 9 Two American organizations, Project HOPE and Americares are coordinating what are the first airlifts of Armenian earthquake victims to the United States. Fifteen Armenians arrived Sunday in New York City with the help of Americares, a relief agency based in Canaan, Conn. Americares officials said they expect another airlift of victims to arrive in the United States by the end of the week. A group of 37 children sponsored by the Virginia based organization project HOPE is expected to arrive at Andrews Airforce base in Washing- ton D.C Thursday. Four of the chil- dren will be taken to Massachusetts General Hospital for treatment. The others will go to hospitals in Penn- sylvania, Illinois, Virginia, New York, Florida, Connecticut, Mis- souri and Ohio. Each child will be accompanied by a guardian, Project HOPE said. The victims were culled from the thousands injured in the Dec. 7 quake which killed about 25,000 people and left 500,000 homeless.
