Shelter may open on Huron Street

to finding feces on their porches.
But some neighbors of the current shelter expressed support
for it and backed the proposal for the new shelter.
"In 13 years I've never had a problem with the folks next
door' said Michael Steer, who works next to the current
homeless shelter. "From my perspective I support the shelter,
and I think it's what the city needs."
Ziegler, who lives within two blocks of the shelter, is con-
cerned that the proposed shelter would make what he describes
as Ann Arbor's homeless problem worse by expanding the size
and number of shelters in the downtown area.
"A neighborhood should be able to take on some of the
burden;' Ziegler said. "But if you establish too many of these
facilities in a small area you can negatively impact the eco-
nomic viability, safety and livability of the area, and that's
what I'm scared of here:'
The council and the county commissioners have been
debating the proposal for the last two and a half years, but the
council plans to vote on the proposal within two to three
weeks.
More than 100 residents attended the council's public

hearing Monday. Thirty-two residents spoke in favor of the
shelter, while 27 spoke against it, including Ziegler and
Brewster.
"We wanted to make sure that the city got adequate input
from the public," councilmember Chris Kolb (D-Ward V)
said.
Among those who spoke at the hearing, a handful of resi-
dents, including former Downtown Development Authority
Chair Ed Shaffran, called for the University to take a greater
role in the issue.
"I ask the people who talk the talk to walk the walk,"
Shaffran said. "I ask where are they. I ask the University of
Michigan to step forward."
University Director of Community Relations Jim Kosteva
said the University has not expressed a formal opinion on
the proposal. But he added that the University's faculty and
staff have been involved with the Homeless Shelter Task
Force on an individual basis, primarily on advisory com-
mittees.
"That's not a role the University would take in terms of an
endorsement," Kosteva said. "This is an issue that is being
addressed, in our view, by the most appropriate lead repre-
sentatives - the council and Washtenaw County commis-
sioners."

with others," Kim said.
Encompass also includes several
multimedia presentations that
attempt to educate students on
issues of diversity.
"It exposes the audience to infor-
mation that maybe they haven't pre-
viously had access to," Kulkarni
said.
The presentations address issues
that the performances do not, such
as apartheid and global violence
against women.
Kim said the ultimate goal for
next year's program is to increase
the interaction between groups and
encourage more collaboration in
creating acts.
This year, groups were encour-
aged to come to one another's
rehearsals and to cheer each other
on.
As of yesterday afternoon, 930

AIDS cases higher among gay minorities
WASHINGTON - For the first time since the AIDS epidemic began nearly
two decades ago, the number of cases among minority gay men has climbed high-
er than those among white gay men, federal health officials announced yesterday.
The data also indicate that black and Latino gay men are being infected at
younger ages than white men, suggesting the need for earlier preventive interv -
tions, said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
"We believe this will surprise many in the nation," Helene Gayle said, who heads
the CDC's center for sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis and AIDS.
"While gay men consistently have accounted for the largest single category of AIDS
cases, we still think of the gay epidemic as being a white one,' she said. "The epidemic
is by no means over in white gay men but we are clearly seeing a reversal in the trends."
Los Angeles has emerged as a dramatic example of the latest trends.
Los Angeles had the highest number of cases among Latino gay and bisexual
men, followed by New York and Miami. Los Angeles had the highest total of cases
among gay Asian/Pacific Islanders and Native American/Alaska Natives, even
though these groups represent less than 2 percent of overall cases among gay and
bisexual men, the CDC reported. In this category, Phoenix was second.
Among black gay and bisexual men, New York had the highest number of can,
followed by Washington and Atlanta.

Report: Sy'a agrees
to 'friendly' relations
WASHINGTON - In a significant
concession, Syria has agreed to
"friendly and good neighborly rela-
tions" with Israel - including open
borders, full diplomatic relations and
arrangements on trade, tourism and
transportation - in the event the two
countries reach a peace agreement,
according to a U.S.-drafted document.
Syria also has offered to provide Israel
with an early-warning station manned by
U.S. and French military observers on
the Golan Heights, the strategic highland
whose return Syria demands as its main
condition for peace with the Jewish state,
the document says.
The seven-page document outlining
areas of agreement and dispute - at
least as perceived by the United States
- was presented to Syrian and Israeli
negotiating teams by President Clinton
during their landmark talks last week in
Shepherdstown, W.Va. A copy of the
supposedly secret text, which U.S. offi-
cials have described as a potential first

draft of a peace treaty, was reprinted
yesterday in the Israeli newspaper
Haa'retz.
The document makes clear that the
two sides still have not resolved many
key issues, including access to water,
security arrangements and the
important question of a future border.
Clinton to propose
new $10 tax credit
WASHINGTON - Put away those
postage stamps.
President Clinton wants to givec ta-
payers a credit of up to $10 if they file
their income tax returns electronically
instead of using old-fashioned snail n$
The idea, Treasury Secretary
Lawrence Summers said yesterday, is
to simultaneously encourage more
people to file returns via either te
Internet or the telephone and improve
efficiency at the much-maligted
Internal Revenue Service.
"It's good for them. It's good for
the IRS. It's good for the system;"
Summers said.

Rescuers reach 9
entombed miners
JOH ANNLSBURG, South Africa
Rescuers, clawing with shovels and
their bare hands, broke through a wall
of rock last night to reach nine miners
entombed for four days below more
than a mile of earth and rock.
Doctors were examining the first of
the rescued miners in an underground
area before bringing him to the surface,
mine officials said. All were expected
to reach the surface last night and
would be taken to a hospital, mine
spokesperson Merle Gouws said.
A short crawl away from where the
miners had awaited rescue, four com-
rades lay dead from Monday's rock fall
at the African Rainbow Minerals gold
mine in Orkney, about 110 miles south-
west of Johannesburg.
-Hopes were fading that two severely
injured miners were still alive. Rescuers
were moving toward them, Gouws said.
The rescue effort, progressing inch
by agonizing inch, captured national

attention in a country built on mining,
where hundreds die every year deep in
the earth's recesses.
Gold accounts for one-fifth of So th
Africa's export earnings. Pulling iti
the nation's shafts remains grueling and
deadly work for the mainly black employ-
ees despite safety improvements since thc
end of white minority rule in 1994.
Japan names possible
sites for capital ove
TOKYO - The Japanese govern-
ment has been vowing for a decd
move the nation's capital out of o-
crowded, overpriced, earthquake-prone
Tokyo - but will it?
The relocation is dismissed as prey
posterous by most of the political ehie
here, including lawmakers who voted
for it in 1990 and 1992.
Nevertheless, the scheme inched a
step closer to reality last month wheD-a.
commission named two sites in the
Japanese hinterlands as candidate sites.
