The study's findings on gambling among female student athletes indicat- ed lesser involvement than their male cointerparts, but peo- ple should not discount these lower statitics, Vollano said. Women's sports are "starting to get the media exposure male sports have had for a long time,"she said. "It would be interesting five years from now to n-survey female ath- letes to see what has happened. This is:he first survey done that included female gambling." Mile Stevenson, senior associate athletic director, said the pevasive occurrence of gambling among athletes surprised hin. "It is absolutely a serious problem or intercollegiate ath- letes," he said. "Billions of dollars wil'probably be bet on the Super Bowl. This is something that isieeply ingrained in our culture." Although the report was mant to indicate the fre- quency of gambling throughout the ntion, Stevenson said the University community should not ovrlook the results. The report collected data from nembers of the football and men's and women's basketball tams at all Division I-A schools in the NCAA.

That policy goes wg a sa Wilkey afe Owner back more than two decades and should be re-examined, Archer told City Council members. It was his second address before them about snow removal in five days. "There's a definite sure al over the city both in homes and busi- nesses,' Rye told The Daily Telegram of Adrian. "Our biggest concern is safety. We want to be able to get water to fire hydrants in case of an emergency." In Detroit, the city's Water and Sewer Department recorded about 120 water main breaks yesterday morning. Jim Heath, the department's assistant director of water opera- tions, said about 30 of those lines were sched- uled to be repaired yesterday, but the process is hindered by the snow. "With the snow on the street, the snow is blocking the catch basin, so the water from the main break can't flow into the basin," creating slippery pavement, Heath said. The snow also hinders workers trying to mark the infrastruc- ture for repair. Heath said residents next to a break may have no water; others will have low pressure. He said since December, the department has fielded 362 reports of broken lines. The record for a three-month period, set in 1994, is 458 reports, he said. But Heath said the problem usually slows down by March. In Kalamazoo, slick driving conditions forced cars off the road and led federal court officials to put off the start of Graham's trial. But ice-greased roads and light snowfall did not keep customers away from the Jungle Cafe down the street. Inside, about 10 people sipped lattes and munched sandwiches, the usual lunchtime crowd, according to owner Lisa Wilkey. "People are getting used to winter," she said. "We've been selling a lot of soup." More soup could be on the menu today. Forecasters were predicting more snow for many areas. and for a change in the city's snow- icy.

The victim and his family are dis- cussing the possibility of filing charges, said the fraternity represen- tative. Fraternity members said Sunday that Brooks, Jackson and Peterson fled the scene when they heard AAPD sirens. An LSA first-year student, who asked not to be identified, witnessed the fight on her way to visit a friend at Martha Cook Residence Hall and said Sunday she saw Peterson, a cor- nerback, involved in the fight. One suspect questioned after the altercation told police they were act- ing in self-defense. Fraternity members said an unidentified football player tried to break up the fight. Sigma Chi mem- bers have stressed they have nothing against the football team. "We are not trying to get them in any more trouble than they already are in;' the fraternity representative said. No arrests were made, but charges that could be filed include larceny, felonious assault and aggra- vated assault, fraternity members said Sunday. Brooks, Jackson and Peterson could not be reached for comment. - The Associated Press contributed to this report. PHI DELT Continued from Page 1 approximately 40 forms of false identification in the house and computer equipment and software capa- ble of producing the fake IDs. "Everyone residing in the house except the live-in adviser was a sophomore and underage," Seyfried said, adding that about 35 people lived in the frater- nity house, and some had multiple fake IDs. Upon hearing news of Friday's police raid, George Cantor, Courtney's father, lost any sympathy he may have had for Phi Delta Theta members. "Given the tragedy that occurred," George Cantor said, "the fact that they still had the paraphernalia for making false IDs means what's happened really has- n't sunk in. It indicates to me those boys are slow learners;" he said. Phi Delta Theta president Mike Novick, an LSA sophomore, could not be reached, and fraternity members refused to comment. The prosecutor's office will determine whether to pursue charges for possession of false identification, a misdemeanor also punishable by 90 days in jail, Seyfried said. "Additional charges are also possible," Seyfried said. "We're still putting the case facts together as far as what was seized Friday." Seyfried said police were able to determine from bank records that fraternity members purchased alcohol served at the party from the Meijer store on Carpenter Road. Police obtained surveillance videotapes from the store showing five underage men buying S347.07 worth alcohol with a fraternity check and presenting false identification to the cashier on Oct. 15. Seyfried said AAPD has had the tapes since Nov. 17 but did not release information about them to the public until now because the investigation is still ongoing."I wouldn't have even released them -now, except that they were named in the search warrant," Seyfried said. George Cantor said he hired a lawyer several weeks ago to examine the possibilities of- civil charges but added, "We're not filing any lawsuits in the next week or two. "Possibly nothing will happen," he said. "This is in a very preliminary state" AAPD Sgt. Michael Logghe said the case ii no longer a police matter, barring any new develop- ments."We're pretty much done;' Logghe said. "We've done our investigation, and it's in the hands of the prosecutor."
