0 Page 2 --The Michigan Dail - Tuesday, O ctober 9, 1990 I bik by Stefanie Vi 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.

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. ) I >., s, : - . 7 Need the hot news fast?

BLANCHARD Continued from page 1 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 WHAT A WEEK MEDIUM (12") PIZZA WIT H CHEESE AND TWO TOPPINGS 1 & 2 SERVINGS OF PEPSI. 1 $1.20 per additional topping.
