In his report, Stipe said he re- ceived a second call at 11:16 p.m. about a car that fell into the pond. Rescue workers first attempted to locate the submerged car from a lifeboat with a 12-foot pole. After realizing the car was deeper than 12 feet, they requested more assistance from the Washtenaw County Sheriff Dive Team. After searching for the car for more than an hour, Washtenaw County Deputy Don Hemming found the car by touch after diving repeatedly into the murky water. Wreckers then hoisted the station Ann Arbor close to closing budget deficit by Tara Gruzen Daily City Reporter Almost a year and a half after the Ann Arbor City Council discovered the city had a $1.6 million budget deficit, the city is probably close to emerging from the red, said City Administrator Del Borgsdorf. The city eliminated 32 unfilled positions in an attempt to decrease the deficit, cutting positions for 14 firefighters, eight police officers, and 10 other city workers. Borgsdorf said the city's goal was to cut spending by $1.6 million between July 1, 1988 and June 30, 1989. Although Borgsdorf said the numbers have evened out, members of the Ann Arbor Fire Department 'People still see the big yellow truck but they don't realize that nobody is on it.' - Ann Arbor fire- fighters union president Mike Vogel criticized the city for not making the job cuts fairly. They said they are not able to perform properly with the sacrifices they have had to make. "They are asking us to make up the entire deficit," said Michael Vo- gel, president of the firefighters' union. Vogel said the council is not presently worried about the cuts be- cause there hasn't been a major fire emergency in Ann Arbor, but in such a case, the department will suf- fer. "People still see the big yellow truck but they don't realize that no- body is on it," he said. But city councilmember Ann Marie Coleman (D-First Ward) said the city administrator carefully looked at the options and did his best to even out the deficit. PEE, The next Rumeal Robinson?

"You are among our most tal- ented," he said. "The nation needs you. Your community needs you. Your university needs your leader- ship. Allow this community to ben- afit from the uniqueness of your ex- periences." The public forum attracted about 150 faculty and administrators from the University's Ann Arbor, Flint, and Dearborn campuses, and included four workshops focused on strategies for success, career planning, net- working and combating racism. The conference was organized by the University's Men of Color Task Force to provide a forum where men of color "could get together and say what they wanted to say and hear what they wanted to hear," said As- sociate Director of Affirmative Ac- tion Jimmy Myers, a member of the task force. See FORUM, Page 2 Swastikas painted on student cars by Mike Sobel Daily Staff Writer Red swastikas were painted on two cars and a walkway outside of the predominantly Jewish fraternity Sigma Alpha Mu Friday morning. A SAM member, who requested anonymity for fear of further persecution, said he realized his car was painted with three swastikas - one on the passenger door and two on the hood - when a friend told him about the incident at around noon on Friday. The student reported the incident to the police, but police officials refused to comment, saying an investigation may begin today. "I ran outside," the student said. "I was stunned... all I felt was anger inside." When the incident took place, the student's car was parked on Lincoln Ave., across the street from the fraternity house on the corner of Hill St. and Lincoln. He added that he felt the vandalism was an anti-Semitic act aimed at the fraternity. He also said the report he filed with the police Friday night was met with apathy. In response to a question about insurance procedure, he said the first officer answered, "Do whatever you want - it's up to you" and told him, "go to the federal government; I deal with criminals." He added that a second officer told him this was not a racial incident because "Jews aren't another race." The student also said when he asked for a precinct number, the officer replied, "We don't have precinct numbers here. This isn't New York." The student could not remember the names of the officers he spoke to. See SWASTIKA, Page 5 Touchdown!
