The Michigan Daily- Thursday, February 13,1992- Pages AZ ruling divides A2 residents, students by Hope Calati Daily Staff Reporter Greek members, the City Plan- ning Commission (CPC) and Ann Arbor residents had mixed reactions to Tuesday's CPC meeting which granted Delta Zeta sorority a special exception permit. The Commission had previously denied this permit to Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and Sigma Kappa sorority because of complaints voiced by neighbors. Delta Zeta member and LSA ju- nior Laura Littlefield said, "I was really excited at the end with the rpsults." Next-door neighbor Fred Book- stein was upset by the lack of effort Delta Zeta has exerted in initiating communication. Panhellenic Advisor Mary Beth Seiler said,"We have tried to meet with neighbors to explain and talk tings out, and it has not been suc- cessful*" Commission member Barry Checkoway said all sides presented themselves well, but "if the neigh- borhood had turned out a lot of peo- ple, it might have been a different situation." Checkoway said Delta Zeta's sit- uation differed from Sigma Kappa's. "The n'eighborhood was much more vocal about the harmful ef- fects on the neighborhood," he said. OxBridge Neighborhood Associ- ation President Paul Rodgers said that they were willing to discuss their concerns with Delta Zeta. Bookstein said, "There is some- thing wrong with zoning to allow this degree of mutual exacerbation to continue." Commission member David Copi said the commission ruled differ- ently in the Sigma Kappa case be- cause "there are some more reason- able places for fraternities and sororities to locate." "My hope is that the Planning Commission can update the ordi- nances to make it possible for these parties to come to easier agreement in these things," Copi continued. The issue of access to the prop- erty remains in question. Delta Zeta will present a revised plan to the commission on March 10.

Ways and Means Committee rejects Bush's economic plan by Karen Pier Daily Graduate Schools Reporter Rackham Student Government (RSG) decided to support the groups fighting against campus deputization by allocating Michigan Terminal System funds if needed and use of RSG's telephones at their meeting last night at Rackham. Some members of RSG said they will attend the redeputization public hearings next week. RSG President Mark Buchan said he doubted the RSG members' opin- ions would have much influence on the outcome of the hearings. RSG has always been anti-depu- tization, Buchan said. "The hearings are a waste of time." "I think the police force set up now, because of the way it's set up and the personnel, will be a tool of oppression," Buchan said. Former RSG president Tracy Ore also disagreed with the University's deputization policy. "Deputization by University re- gents or the county sheriff is not necessary to the campus. We already had support from Ann Arbor police before," Ore said. RSG member Corey Dolgon said the University will deter protests and create more autonomy for the campus with the use of deputized police. "The University wants to create a public image of public safety," Dolgon said. But he added that the University is also concerned with public safety. Dolgon was also worried about the quality of the police. "The University police continually fuck up," Dolgon said Ore said the police are filing more charges than actual number of crimes being committed. "It's like someone stealing a pack of gum and being charged with grand larceny," she said. Ore is also concerned that the-po- lice are answerable to state laws rather than Ann Arbor laws. That means that people can be arrested for charges such as sodomy, she said. "This is dangerous," Ore said. Buchan said he is concerned tlat groups such as Blacks, political ac- tivists, homosexual men, bisexials and lesbian women might be targeted by the deputized police. Another concern Buchan ex- pressed was that some officers had not been going to the sensitivity training workshops which w6jild teach them to be more responsive to minorities on campus. Ore agreed this was a problm because the police were not being faced with their own racism and ho- mophobia. Buchan said the expense of, tie University having their own police force is "ridiculous." The reason the regents decide. t deputize officers was because tiex felt it was more efficient and less costly, Ore said. "Deputization is unnecessary, dangerous and will ultimately only intensify everything that the administration wants to deter with its presence," Dolgon said. Some of the groups forming the coalition against deputization - are Students Halting Institutionalized Terrorism (S.H.I.T.) and Students of Color of Rackham (SCOR). In addition to discussieig deputization, RSG allocated fuids to groups, including a Socioligy 102 class called "Men to.I Masculinity," for a video dealitig with male attitudes, especially minority opinions, on the issue Of masculinity. WASHINGTON (AP) - A bicker- ing House Ways and Means Committee rejected President Bush's tax plan to revive the economy yesterday and Democrats set to work on a substitute promising tax relief for the middle class. Seven key elements from the comprehensive plan Bush outlined in his State of the Union message last month were defeated on a 23-13 party-line vote. Democrats then went behind closed doors to begin writing a plan that they expect to push through the House welltbefore Bush's March 20 deadline for action. The Democratic version is likely to contain a temporary credit for wage-earners, higher taxes on the well-to-do and some incentives for investment. "America is watching us, won- dering whether we can act wisely and expeditiously to revive the economy," Chair Dan Rostenkowski (D-Ill.) told colleagues as the com- mittee's brief open meeting began. "This process is clearly designed to hurt the president politically and I won't stand for it," said Rep. Bill Archer of Texas, senior Republican on the committee. "You've changed your budget," Rep. Beryl Anthony (D-Ark.) told Fred Goldberg, the assistant secre- tary of the treasury for tax policy. "You caved in" to complaints about some of the tax increases in Bush's program. In Concord, N.H., Bush issued a new plea for passage of the short- term plan. "Just pass this plan and give the American people a chance to see whether it's going to work, as I'm confident it will," he said in a speech before the New Hampshire Legislature. - 9 . a Phi Sigma Kappa i II r p p R }.a+ R tj S H r 1873 R ti S H 4-ยข If you are looking for a house which is looking to DEFINE Fraternity rather than just BEING a Fraternity, Phi Sigma Kappa would like you to come to: At Hair Express we're offering outrageous tanning offers - just in time for Spring Break!!
