MSA to hold alcohol forums

by John Morgan
This October, the University
will be holding its first ever cam-
pus-wide Alcohol Awareness Week
(AAW) in an effort to combat al-
cohol abuse. Sponsored by the
Health Issues Commission of the
Michigan Student Assembly, the
event will take place between Octo-
ber13and 18.
Scott Gast, the coordinator of
AAW for MSA said in the past,
campus fraternities and sororities
held AAW individually. This year,
the Intrafraternity Council (IFC)
will be one of more than 25 Univer-
sity and community organizations

to sponsor the event.
This year's AAW theme will be
"Who's Calling the Shots?" It was
developed in response to a recent
University Task Force on Alcohol
and Other Drugs report that cited
the lack of programs at the Univer-
sity aimed toward prevention.
Organizers of AAW said they
will try to show how alcohol abuse
relates to other student problems,
such as stress and sexual abuse.
Joseph Owsley, the director of
News and Information Services,
said, "We support the concept... we
want people to be aware of the
dangers of alcohol."

students face a 9.3 percent tuition
increase. Moreover, the university
placed a salary freeze on all faculty
and administrators.
'Those fees closest
associated to
education are
acceptable. When you
start talking about
maintenance to
buildings, that bothers
me
- Regent Deane Baker
Indiana University raised its tu-
ition slightly more, than 40 percent
because the administration decided
to change the university's fee struc-
ture to a flat rate, instead of paying
by credit hour.

Council members said they could
not understand why officials would
conceal knowledge of contamina
tion.
"That's news to me," said M
Councilmember Robert Grady (D-'
3rd Ward), after being informed"
about the documents.

officials suspected the land was
contaminated as far back as 1986.
A memo, dated May 22, from
former City Attorney R. Bruce
Laidlaw to Mayor Liz Brater,
states: "At the time that the city
purchased the property, it was used
in connection with an automobile
repair business. Accordingly, there
was some concern that leaking en-

gines might have caused some soil
contamination."
Laidlaw said last night that he
did not remember sending the
memo, but he added, "There was
general knowledge among council
and staff that a lot of (previous)
uses had gone on that could lead to
contamination."
Brater could not be reached for
comment.

shop on the site. It had also served as
a landfill, he said. He said he sold
the property to the city in 1986 for
$65,000.
Thorson said the city knew of
possible contamination when it ne-
gotiated the transaction.
"They were saying I couldn't get
more than that on the open market
because no other developer could
build there," he said.
Thorson said that after the city
purchased the property, it moved a
waste storage tank into the shop be-
fore demolishing it.
Thorson said he attempted to
contact Brater "within two weeks"
of her victory in April to inform
her about the site.
One of his calls was detailed in
another memo, dated May 13, to
Brater from her former secretary
Peg Eisenstodt, which states:
"(Thorson) said the city told him
the land wasn't worth a lot because
the soil was contaminated and that
no structures should be built
there."
On Aug. 21, Travers Group of
Ann Arbor released a study that es-
timated a cleanup would cost
$30,000.

Councilmember Mark Ouim
(R-4th Ward) said, "If city offer
cials, including the mayor, knew
that the site was contaminated, why
did we spend all that money to
move the houses? We could have..,
built affordable housing for les4!
than this fiasco cost us."
One source, speaking on condi-
tion of anonymity, suspected that A,
the city proceeded to move the .'
houses despite the contamination to
appease homeless activists who in
February protested the eviction of
homeless people occupying the
house.
"I think they were desperate to 00
get the squatters out of the house i
and then just put it there as a tempo- ,
rary measure - a very temporary a
measure," the source said.
