SHOPPING
Continued from page 1
business was active over the week-
end and even better than last year.
Rusty Ortiz of Van Boven Shoes
said that business was "about the
same" this past weekend, adding that
many of the store's customers were
regulars who shopped with their
children home from school for the
holiday.
Free parking may have helped
State Street businesses Friday, Clark
said. Because Friday was a union
holiday, the parking garage on May-
nard Street was unstaffed.
Clark said Van Boven probably
lost a little business on Saturday due
to the fact that U-M students were
out of town, but the impact was not
significant.
Gilpin said the absence of stu-
dents had no impact on her business.
However, Steve Angerman of
State Street Sports said business was
slow this weekend.
He attributed this to the absence
of students in Ann Arbor.
"They can't buy when they're in
New York," Angerman added.
"We draw from a much larger
community," said Murphy of Bor-
ders, adding that having students in
town would have been good for
business, but their absence had no
negative impact.
According to students, mall
shopping was extremely busy.
"It was quite packed," said Busi-
ness School senior Sean Spitsber-
gen, referring to the Livonia Mall on
Friday.
LSA junior Kenneth Davis said
the mall he went to in Dearborn on
Wednesday was also quite busy.
"It was hellacious to find parking
at (Ann Arbor's) Briarwood," LSA
senior Emelie Medalle said.
Medalle, who works at The Gap
at Briarwood, said that business was
very heavy between noon and 4
p.m., but seemed to taper off after
that, even though the mall was open
until 9 p.m.
"It was busy in spurts," said LSA
first-year student Vanessa Tamas,
who also works at The Gap. "After 6
p.m. it just died."

RELIGION

she feels sororities have little to do
with religion. She said sorority rush
opens itself to all U-M women re-
gardless of religion, race or personal
interests.
"It's (the Greek system) - a re-
flection of our campus," Hansen
said.
She added that each chapter has
different ceremonies not intended to
be religious. Although many houses
have religious histories and religious
charters, they have since become
less religious.
Pinsky said she thinks her soror-
ity downplays the role of religion.
She said her sorority de-empha-
sizes religious orientation even
though the organization was founded
in 1852 on the premise of "Christian
Womanhood."
LSA sophomore Jenny Channing,
a Kappa Alpha Theta member,
added that Thetas are not allowed to
say "Amen" at the end of meal

prayers.
Her housemate Sunny Swarthout
said sorority members who want to
celebrate religious holidays with the
entire house may do so as long as
they make provisions with the house
mother.
Other sorority members said their
houses have regular religious rituals.

menorah, are explained.
During the holidays some sorori-
ties have planned to celebrate
Christmas and Hanukkah this year.
"When it comes to holidays we
have a menorah and a Christmas
tree," Channing said.
Pinsky said her house plans to
light a menorah this year. She added

BONN, Germany (AP) -
Pressing a bid to crack down on
right-wing extremists, federal au-
thorities said yesterday they have ar-
rested a 19-year-old youth on suspi-
cion of murder in the firebombing
deaths of a Turkish woman and two
girls.
The chief federal prosecutor,
Alexander von Stahl, said at least
one other person was being sought in
the attack that shocked the nation a
week ago.
The firebombing of the women's
home in Moelln, near Hamburg, was
the most brutal of nearly 1,800 right-
ist attacks that have killed 16 people
this year.
It triggered an international out-
cry over resurgent Nazism in
Germany and apparently spurred the
government to step up actions
against extremists in an effort to de-
flect criticism that violence is esca-
lating out of control.
Despite a parade of promises
from Chancellor Helmut Kohl and
other officials to crush right-wing
violence, young thugs staged a series
of attacks on foreigners over the
weekend. Rightists blame an influx
of foreigners for Germany's strug-
gling economy, particularly the de-
pression that has gripped eastern re-
gions since reunification.
A statement from Stahl said the
19-year-old, identified only as Lars
C., was detained Saturday and for-
mally arrested Sunday on suspicion
of murder, attempted murder and
breach of the peace in connection
with the arson attack in his home-
town of Moelln. Formal charges had
not been filed.
Stahl's office in Karlsruhe said
that a witness reported seeing the
suspect at the scene, but that the
teen-ager denied involvement.
The suspect's full name was not
released because he is a minor under

German law.
The prosecutor said another per-
son, whose identity had not been de-
termined, was being sought in thi
killings.
Last week, Stahl's office detained
Michael Peters, leader of a radical
rightist group, and eight followers
for possible involvement in three ar-
son attacks in northern Germany in
September. No one was injured in
those attacks.
Two more suspected members of
the group were detained over the
weekend in connection with th*
September attacks, the office said
yesterday.
Prosecutors had said they would
investigate whether Peters' group
was involved in the Moelln deaths,
but the office said yesterday that no
evidence had been turned up to link
any of the 11 to that attack.
President Richard von
Weizsaecker and Foreign Ministe
Klaus Kinkel met in Bonn yesterday
with a delegation from Turkey to
discuss the Moelln firebombing.
Reacting to an Israeli Cabinet
statement Sunday denouncing
German racist violence and anti-
Semitism, Kohl's spokesperson,
Dieter Vogel, said the government
understood the concern in Israel. He
said the violence was the work of
"individual extreme groups" that dO
not reflect the German majority.
On Friday, the Interior Ministry
banned a neo-Nazi group called the
Nationalistic Front on the grounds
its members were seeking to subvert
Germany's constitutional order.
Interior Minister Rudolf Seiters
was reported to be deciding if four
other groups could be banned. He
also was studying the possibility of
stripping neo-Nazi leaders of certai6
rights, such as voting, running for
public office and expressing opin-
ions in public, newspapers said.

basically just one thing. I want to be friends

"We have Friday night dinners.
We have Challah. We say the
prayers and light the candles,"
Bernstein said. She added that the
dinners are not mandatory.
Hansen said her house often has
meals which commemorate a mem-
ber's faith or ethnicity. These meals
are accompanied by a speech where
various customs, like lighting a

that she would be furious if her
house failed to mention the Jewish
holidays - as a Christian woman
would feel if Christmas was not
addressed.
For the sake of those sorority
members who are atheists, agnostics
or of unknown denominations, soror-
ities might try doing nothing for the
holidays, Pinsky said.

said the local Phillips Petroleum's

"One of the reasons Phillips is

began this fall with the naming of
Bruce Miller, currently the director
of the semester transition, to the po-
sition of executive director of the
presidential search.
Miller estimated that the search
will cost the university approxi-
mately $150,000, though he said it is
"hard to predict a very accurate
figure."
As the director of the search,
Miller must coordinate a committee
of two students, two faculty mem-
bers, one graduate, one college dean
and one non-academic faculty mem-
ber by January in order to meet the
September deadline set by interim
president Gordon Guyer. Guyer will
not seek the permanent post.
Miller stressed the importance of
diversity on the committee.
"You want a lot of diversity on
the committee to create a balance of

interests, and to ensure that the con-
cerns of the community are ad-
dressed," Miller said.
"The committee must make a ju-
dicious decision on these selections,"
Miller added. 0
Members of the group will be se-
lected from nominations by campus
organizations. Up to three people
can vie for each committee position.
Miller said the committee nor-
mally makes recommendations for
candidates, but leaves the final deci-
sion for the Board of Trustees.
"The standard scenario is that the
committee recommends three final
ists, the board reviews these recomv
mendations and makes the final deci-
sion," Miller said.
Miller added he hoped for a pres-
ident who can guide MSU through
future controversies.
"I think I speak for everybody
when I say we're just hoping to get
an excellent president in these tough
times for Michigan universities,"
Miller said.
