V-- Local man buspected of assaulting 'U' student Ann Arbor police are questioning' a local man suspected of sexually as- saulting a University student last eekend, Ann Arbor Staff Sergeant omas Caldwell said. Caldwell said a University woman told police on Saturday she was walking toward her home on the 700 block of Arch street when a man accosted her on the sidewalk, grabbed her shoulder and pushed her toward some bushes. The woman told police she hit her assailant in the stomach and fled op her nearby apartment. After police arrived at the scene to question the student, Officer Stephanie Vogel witnessed a man who fit the student's description fol- low two other University women into a nearby building, Caldwell Vogel confronted the man and re- quested identification. Although the suspect has been brought in for ques- *ioning by police, no arrests have been made, Caldwell said. If arrested, Caldwell added, the suspect would be charged with as- sault with intent to commit criminal sexual conduct. Local teen arraigned for attempted murder Joseph Calbert, a 17-year-old Ann Arbor resident who police say held-up and shot an employee of China On The Run Friday, was ar- raigned Monday on charges of armed robbery, attempted murder and two counts of firearm possession during the commission of a felony. Ann Arbor Staff Sergeant Thomas Caldwell said Calbert, who has a juvenile record of armed rob- bery, was sent to Washtenaw County Jail without bond. Calbert's preliminary hearing date was set for April 4, Caldwell added. Calbert is accused of robbing the take-out restaurant at 1232 Packard and shooting one of the employees, Phillip Camp, twice with a .32 cal- iber handgun, last Friday afternoon. Caldwell said Camp, who was shot once in the stomach and once in the leg, miraculously survived the shooting without major injuries. "For whatever reason, the bullet entered his stomach, missed all vital organs, and bounced out onto the floor," Caldwell said. "His leg was injured but he sustained no life threatening injuries at all." Shortly after the incident on Fri- day, Ann Arbor police chased Cal- bert in his car down Packard Road and then apprehended him on foot. Police said Calbert has since con- fessed to committing the robbery. Among the evidence to be used against him is a bag containing an egg roll, a China On The Run re- ceipt, a large sum of money, Cal- bert's handgun and the bullet slug which bounced out of Camp.

The safe showed no evidence of being forced open, police added, and damage to the roof is estimated at $300. Police report string of thefts from 'U' buildings Police report a recent string of thefts is responsible for more than $15,000 worth of property and equipment missing from University buildings and residence halls. Ann Arbor Detective Doug Bar- bour said between March 9 and March 12 more than $13,000 in computer equipment was taken from the University School of Business. Barbour also said more than $2500 worth of computer equipment was taken from the University's In- formation Technology Division at 611 Church St. There were no signs of forced en- try at either location, Barbour added. Other recent larcenies include a string of thefts last week at the Mary Markley residence hall and a series of lootings last weekend at South Quad. Officers said in the residence hall incidents, either cash or credit cards were taken and the rooms were gen- erally unlocked. - compiled by Mike Sobel WARD 2 Continued from page 1 However, Sheldon's Demo- cratic/Green challenger, Valerie Ack- erman, says city government must do more to ensure the pace of devel- opment doesn't hurt the city's envi- ronment in the long run. "The profit making system has brought us Love Canal, and the taxpayers end up pay- ing." Ackerman contends Ann Arbor must stop overdevelopment and pre- serve the city's diminishing wet- lands, woodlands and green spaces. She favors implementation of a "natural features ordinance" which would protect certain natural features from development. Ackerman said in addition to con- trolling the rate of development, and protecting the environment, the council should work to help the plight of the homeless with more low-income housing, and improve citizens' relations with the police. "We're experiencing the fallout from the 'me generation' of the sev- enties and eighties where people were trained to pursue self-interest, resulting in deepening social ills," Ackerman said. Ackerman - one of the Michi- gan's first two Green candidates - said her social philosophy stems from the feminist view that every- thing is interconnected within the web of life. "Everything I do, I think of what the consequences of my actions will be - personally, for my family, and for my community," Ackerman said. "Think globally and act locally." Ackerman's social agenda in- cludes supporting the creation of a citizens' police review board. This body would listen to residents' grievances as well as foster better re- lations between Ann Arborites and the police, she said. In addition, Ackerman would like to use Downtown Development Au- thority money to subsidize develop- ers to construct low-cost housing. Ackerman added that she believes in "true grass roots governing" and BIG SALE Wed., Mar. 28-Sat., April 7 International Foods & Gifts When Jodi Goldman met Dennis Hayes last summer, sparks flew. Next Monday their brainchild will be born - Earth Week 1990. Hayes, who organized the na- tional Earth Day in 1970, was plan- ning another Earth Day for 1990. Goldman, an LSA junior, attended a speech given by Hayes in California last summer. As Hayes urged stu- dents to participate in Earth Day 1990, Goldman decided the Univer- sity needed an Earth Day of its own. Goldman called friends from the Public Interest Research Group in Michigan (PIRGIM) to organize a Earth Day group for the University. LSA senior Amy Sabin described their first meeting: "We met ,in someone's living room and said, 'Earth Day, that sounds good. What is it?"' "Looking through some 1970 lo- cal newspapers we realized that Earth Day started here. So we wanted to put together the best Earth Day 1990 event in the country," Goldman said. Six people attended the first meeting. And they told two friends, who told two friends, and so on and so on... Today Earth Day 1990 has about 100 members and a core group of 50 activists. "It was just incredible to see the people rise up," Sabin said. "It was really rewarding to see a lot of other people out there who want to direct their energies to the environment," said LSA senior Rachel Stevens, an Earth Day 1990 member ever since Goldman's first living room lecture. "When we formed," said Gold- man, "people weren't confident in our organizational ability, but we proved them wrong." School of Natural Resources ju- nior Matt Rosen witnessed Earth Day 1990's growth. "I was im- pressed with the scope of the organi- zation. It's a large and dynamic group that's getting a lot of things done," Rosen said. School of Natural Resources se- nior Jen McPeck learned about Earth Day from a class announcement. "Before that, I had never heard of Earth Day," she said. She and about 20 other people attended Earth Day 1990's first organizational meeting at the beginning of fall term. School of Engineering junior Ir- win Weingarten saw some Earth Week literature and realized "there were a bunch of activities being planned for Central Campus, but nothing was being planned for the engineers." As an engineer with strong feel- ings about environmentalism, Weingarten felt Earth Week needed to include North Campus. He set out to find environmentally-sound re- search being done on campus, and companies creating products designed to protect the environment for next Tuesday's Earth Day Technology Fair and next Thursday's Poster Gallery of Environmental Engineer- ing Research. "A lot of people blame the engi- neers for environmental problems, but it's the engineers who will be asked to solve the problems, either by adjusting existing technology or creating new technology that pro- vides the same material comforts," Weingarten said. Susan Powers, a School of Engi- neering Ph.D. candidate and Earth Day 1.990 member said, "I feel strongly that engineering students don't get enough education about engineering careers that help the en- vironment." By finding and inviting companies to the Technology Fair, she hopes to show engineering stu- dents that these options exist. Powers also hopes to dispel the notion that engineers don't care about environmental issues. McPeck and LSA junior Ab- erdeen Marsh organized a panel dis- cussion "Consumer Choices: Eco- nomics and the Environment" featur- ing speakers from Detroit Edison, the Huron Valley Greens and the People's Food Co-op.. They hope the program will give speakers and stu- dents a chance to learn from one an- other. "People have a lot to offer," McPeck said. "But you don't learn that until you bring them together for a common goal." All the fund-raising, inviting, or- ganizing and promoting of next week's events has taken its toll on. the group's members. "We're killing ourselves," said Goldman. "We're sacrificing our grades, our health and our social lives." But the Earth Day 1990 students carry on because they hope the event will affect people's behavior and make a difference for the environ- ment. "I very much want to spread the word," said Stevens. "I'm hoping Earth Week will spur people to get involved with the environmental. movement and change their personal. behavior." Stevens listed recycling, boy-, cotting Styrofoam, buying organic produce, and conserving gasoline, electricity and water as "little things" people can do in their everyday lives to protect the environment. The group hopes Earth Week will lay the groundwork for a permanent campus organization dedicated to en- vironmental issues. . "Hopefully, we can create a sub- * stantial environmental group on campus. So when I leave here I:. know there will be a base for future' activities," said LSA junior Linda.. Rosenfeld, co-coordinator of media and fund-raising for Earth Day 1990. gered recycling would set a goal for a voluntary program. Unfullfillment of the goal would "trigger" manda-: tory recycling. "I'll oppose mandatory recycling ~t until someone shows me it's abso- lutely necessary," Richardson said.w "We're not going to ram recycling down peole's throat." Reflecting the views of other democratic candidates, Peterson said the city is woefully behind the times in its approach to recycling. "If (recycling) had been done ten years ago, we wouldn't have the current landfill problems," she said. Peterson has been involved be- hind the scenes in Ann Arbor poli- tics for a decade. She served as a democratic precinct captain and has worked on Fifth Ward campaigns for the last eight years. Calling herself a grass roots per- son, she said constituents would take control and be involved in decisions if she is elected. "When you're much closer to constituents, you're less likely to set your own agenda," she said. Richardson - the city's mayor pro-tem - is stressing his leader- ship position on council. would set up constituents' meetings in order to reach out to the public. Sheldon said her involvement in the community enables her to keep close contact with residents, and stressed that working on a variety of community service projects has given her a broad background in a variety of issues. Participation on the Parks Recre- ation and Open Space Task Force, Ann Arbor's Recreation Advisory commission, and in the Ann Arbor Historical Foundation are some of the ways Sheldon has gained this community experience. "If I can get out and do some- thing, I get enormous satisfaction from that," Sheldon said. Stressing constituents' basic needs, Sheldon said, will be the fo- cus of her reelection campaign. She described the Second Ward residents as "traditionally oriented." WARD 5 Continued from page 1 displeased by the disappearance of greenspace. Referring to those who live in the Ann Arbor's Old West Side - an area where many of old houses have been restored - Peterson said, "People are anxious to protect the investments they have made in their houses...(they) are shocked by the disappearance of greenspace."

Come in and indulge the aspects which make Ann Arbor an attractive community, Peterson said. "It's foolish for us to go through with this 'development at any cost."' Calling this attitude a "profoundly conservative" sentiment, Richardson said those in Ann Arbor who would limit development are afraid of the future. "I'm astonished by people who say Ann Arbor has gone to ruin in the last seven years," Richardson said. "This community has its best years ahead of it." But he added he would keep an open mind toward the future. Richardson, whose 1988 election victory helped the Republicans gain a majority on council, said he doesn't believe City Council should run its citizens' lives. "I've beer. very much an advocate of leaving; the se people alone in their homes," he said. "I'm not a subscriber to the 'busy body' theory of city govern- ment. As a result, he opposes legislat- ing a program of mandatory recy- cling before attempting a voluntary program. Richardson, suggested "triggered recycling" -as a compro- mise between the two options.
