The Michigan Daily -Thursday, September 12, 1991 - Page 3 HOSTAGES Lontinued from page 1 r When asked why Israel had freed some Arab prisoners without sword on the fates of all the miss- ing soldiers, Lubrani said: "This cannot be done in one shot and therefore we take it step by step. Whenever we have some progress we will respond." The 51 prisoners were freed from Khiam jail in Israeli-con- -rolled south Lebanon, run by Is- xnael's allied militia, the South ,~banon Army. The prisoners were handed over °at the southern Lebanon village of far Tibnit on the edge of Israel's self-proclaimed security zone. ,' Twenty-nine of the freed pris- ,oners were taken by the Red Cross -o the Lebanese army barracks in -south Lebanon's market town of Nabatiyeh. Reporters were told that the other 22 freed prisoners, including five women, remained in- side the security zone because their f milies live in that area. "May God be praised. It's all over now," said freed prisoner Hussein Issa. "I want to see my wife and three children." Israel also returned the remains of nine Shiite Muslim guerrillas killed in clashes with Israeli forces. At the Rosh Hanikra check- point on the Israel-Lebanon border, the bodies arrived in pine wood coffins aboard three Israeli army trucks. Each coffin was carried by four Israeli soldiers to the checkpoint, on a cliff overlooking the Mediter- ranean. The bodies were received by members of the International Committee of the Red Cross as- sisted by members of the Lebanese Red Cross. They were to be turned over to the families for burial. The Red Cross took the nine bodies by ambulance from the bor- der town of Naqoura to the south- ern port city of Tyre, where they were handed over to representa- tives of Hezbollah. Hezbollah sources in Tyre, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the bodies would be taken to a mosque in southern Beirut. HAC leads toer thro ugh downtown by David Rheingold Daily City Reporter About 20 locals took a walking tour of Ann Arbor last night, with the Homeless Action Committee (HAC) as their guide. HAC members led the group to 10 sites throughout the downtown, from the Ann Arbor 'Y' to the Kline's parking lot, to show why the city should build new housing instead of supporting commercial development. At each stop, members deposited cement-filled coffeepots with wooden signs briefly detailing the history of the location. Many of the buildings they pointed out were partly vacated. HAC members were attempting to show past development failures. The nearly two-hour tour con- cluded at the site of the proposed Kline's parking structure, a project, which the City Council killed plans for earlier this summer. In its place, the City voted to fund a less costly surface parking lot. This year, HAC member Laura. Dresser said, the group will try to persuade the city to use its leftover money from the Kline's structure to convert the former Ann Arbor Inn and the Downtown Club into low- income housing. About two dozen Ann Arbor residents said they followed the tour mainly out of curiosity. "I just wanted to find out what's happening in terms of shel- ter for low-income and homeless people," said Jennifer Mead, a Rack- ham graduate student. Israeli soldiers carry the coffin of a Muslim guerilla at Rosh Hanikra yesterday: Nine bodies and 51 Lebanese prisoners were released in exchange for definitive information on missing Israeli soldiers. ii7; Computers stolen from.

She was charged and released by the Ann Arbor Police Department. Can't get enough of that meatless moussaka Employees of the South Quad Residence Hall reported to DPSS officers that a key to the hall's cafe- teria had been stolen. They realized it was missing Sunday at 9:24 a.m., but told offi- cers it could have been missing ear- lier without notice. Employees and officers speculate that the key was stolen by a South Quad resident. No suspects have been identified, but investigations are continuing. - by Daily Crime Reporter Melissa Peerless When the Cracker Barrel Restau- rant managers open their new store in Belleville, Mich., later this month, they will also be opening a new barrel of boycott in the Detroit area. Last January, the Cracker Barrel Restaurant chain headquarters in Lebanon, Tenn., issued an internal memo that instructed store man- agers to fire all homosexual em- ployees. The memo pointed to the restau- rant customers' "family" values as the basis for terminating all gay male and lesbian workers. Following the issuing of that di- rective and the immediate dismissal of 12 homosexual employees, protests of the restaurant's loca- tions in Georgia and Tennessee be- gan. Although no restaurants have closed because of the protests, Ivy Young, director of the Families Projection at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force in New York City, said yesterday that the pickets have successfully stopped business for days at time. "At the last protest in Nashville, protesters successfully occupied 98 percent of the booths in the restaurant," Woods said. "And I just heard the other day that in Joplin, Mo., the Ku Klux Klan has planned a counterprotest in support of the restaurant." While most of the store's 109 restaurants are located in the South- east portion of the country, Cracker Barrel marketing employee Vivian Atchley said yesterday that the company has decided to open new stores in the Midwest, beginning with their 110th location in Belleville, which is half way be- tween Ann Arbor and Detroit. Atchley, however, refused to comment on the upcoming boycott of the restaurant's grand opening on Sept. 30, and referred all questions to Chairman of the company Dan Evins. Evins did not return several phone messages yesterday. Last February, however, the company did issue a statement re- scinding the initial memo, stating the directive "may have been a well- intentioned over-reaction to the per- ceived values of our customers." "That just doesn't work for me," said Ron Woods, coordinator of the Detroit Cracker Barrel Protest Coalition. "I say so what?" he said. "What about the 12 people whose lives were ruined? What about the person who was ostracized from their small town outside of Nashville and forced to relocate to Florida?" Wood's coalition, and the satel- lite Ann Arbor coalition that had a small meeting in the Union yester- day, are demanding that the restau- rant rehire the 12 fired employees with back wages, apology and full former status, as well as at least four other related requests, like the implementation of a non-discrimi-. nation policy.
