Daily Staff Report
officials say more
racks needed
nes
er
There are 500 illegally parked
bikes a day at the University, and it
would take $250,000 to rectify the
-situation, but no long-term solu-
tions are being implemented, Uni-
versity officials say.
J. Brewster, the University's
landscape planner, evaluated the ra-
tio of bicycle racks on campus to
the number of bikes in a study last
August.
"We completed a study in Au-
gust which indicated that there is
not enough money for the big price
tag which is created by the new
bike racks. The bigger the bikes
get, the more money it will cost to
create racks."
There are other pressing needs
that the University must put their
money into before the problem can
be addressed, Brewster said.
"Until the University decides
where they will spend their money,
nothing will be done about this
problem, and more people will be
fined for illegally parking their
bikes. Something should be done,"
he added.
"We need to put in more new
racks, but the problem is money,"
said University Planner Fred Mayer,
who oversees the budgeting for
roads and walkways on campus.
"We only have an -'X' amount of
dollars to spend on bike racks."
The financial problem is com-
pounded by the recent influx of
mountain bikes on campus.
Brewster said, "Not only is there
a lack of bike racks on Central
Campus, but also the racks need to
be updated to create more space for
the new mountain bikes."
Joel Topf, an LSA senior who
worked in a bicycle shop, said the
difference between mountain bikes
and other bikes is that mountain
bike handlebars are wider. Topf said
this may create problems in parking
for students since mountain bikes
take up more space on racks.
"They (mountain bikes) take up
more space and it can be a major
inconvenience to try to park your
bike next to theirs because they are
so big," agreed LSA senior Lori
Bley.
Another problem Topf cited was
in securing bike wheels. "The new
racks will help to secure wheels
which are often stolen from the old
racks," he said.
Not all students, however, have
trouble parking their bikes.
"I've always been able to find
space on the racks, although I know
other people have had problems. I
think it just depends where you are
on campus," LSA senior Kelly
Thayer said.

A bicycle rack next to the new Center of Champions on South State Street is frequented by students'
increasingly popular means of transportation - mountain bikes.

A senior paramilitary border po-
lice officer Yossi Tobias, told Israel
radio that some 3,000 Arabs demon-
strated. The wall area was crowded
with hundreds of Jewish pilgrims
marking the Sukkot holiday.
The Arabs burned down a police
station in the Temple Mount com-
pound. At least one Jewish police-
man was wounded by a hurled rock.
The Palestinians were angered by
rumors that Jews were trying to es-
tablish a permanent presence on the
site of Al Aqsa Mosque, the third
holiest site for Muslims.
As thousands of Jews fled from
the Wailing Wall, police riot squads
fired tear gas to disperse Arab riots
on the Mount. Witnesses said the
Palestinians regrouped and charged
the police.
Police opened fire with live am-
munition, the witnesses said.
Calm returned to the Temple
Mount after about two hours, but
throughout the day scattered inci-
dents occurred in the Old City.
Israeli radio said it had reports of
Jewish civilians shooting at Arabs.
At Mukassed Hospital in Arab
east Jerusalem, director Adnan
Hamad said 13 dead were brought in.
He said another 70 were injured with
plastic and live ammunition. Wi
nesses reported that Israeli soldiers
tear-gassed the hospital's delivery
room forcing an evacuation of the
infants in incubators there.
Until today, the worst toll in the
uprising was 17 dead on April 15,
1988, when rioting .swept the occu-
pied West Bank and Gaza Strip after
PLO military leader Khalol Wazir
was killed in Tunis in a command
raid.
The raid was blamed on Israel.
*After today's rioting broke out,
police closed off the area around the
Wailing Wall, the last remnant of
the ancient Jewish temple destroyed
by the Romans in the year 70.

for releasing hazardous substances
and allows the state to claim con-
taminated property to ensure the
state is reimbursed for cleanup costs.
Senator Nick Smith (R-Addison)
- an outspoken opponent of the
bill as it passed the Senate - said
he feared the law allowed the gov-
ernment.to take action against any-
one associated with polluted proper-
ties with the money to pay for a
cleanup, including banks or lending
institutions holding titles for mort-
gaged properties.
Smith said he was concerned
about the impact upon lending insti-
tutions' willingness to issue loans
for properties such as farms which
often show incidental rates of con-
tamination from pesticides or other
chemicals.
He added the law could lead to
"bounty hunting" by private partie,
searching for potentially contamii-
nated sites, because of a clause
which allows the state to offer
$10,000 rewards for information
leading to the conviction of pol-
luters.
State Representative Tom Alley
(D-West Branch), introduced the leg-
islation to the House, where it
passed by a vote of 90-3. It was then
re-introduced to the Senateby Stat
Senator Vern Ehlers (R-Grand
Rapids) and passed by 28-4-1.
The law will go into effect in
July1991. State Attorney General
Frank Kelley expressed in his pre-
pared speech a desire to begin prose-
cution under the law "as soon as
possible," although Assistant Attor-
ney General Jeremy Firestone said
there were "no targets at this point
