he also had alcohol and trace amounts of marijuana in his
blood, the Ann Arbor News reported.
Zeta Psi is not affiliated with the Interfraternity Coun-
cil and does not participate in a formal rush process.
Members reiterated that this event was an isolated incident
and they did not know of any hard drug use at the house.
"I didn't think there was any hard drugs," said one
member, who wished to remain anonymous. "I would say
it was an isolated event."
A fraternity member was also found dead in his apart-
ment in 1998 due to an overdose of alcohol and cocaine.
The Zeta Psi house is owned by the Xi Alumni Associ-
ation of Zeta Psi.
Heroin use has decreased nationwide among high
school students, according to the 2001 Monitoring the

work of researchers from 20 metropolitan areas who meet
semiannually to discuss trends in drug use, reported in
December 2001 that heroin use in Detroit was increasing.
The group also found that mentions of heroin by emer-
gency room doctors has increased significantly in seven
cities, including Detroit.
According to the report, heroin was responsible for 32
percent of drug-related admissions in Detroit hospitals,
nearly half of all admissions statewide.

The crime wave which plagued campus this winter
continued into spring as four homes were invaded in
Northwood V Housing on North Campus this weekend.
All four incidents took place Saturday morning while
the residents were sleeping in their homes.
Items stolen included computers, a boombox and sev-
eral books.
Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Diane
Brown said this is a rare occurrence for that part of
campus.
"It's a little bit isolated without being seen too -
much," Brown said.
Northwood Housing is an area on North Campus
comprised of many apartments and townhouses where W
many married graduate students and families live.
"I think in general it (becomes) a target because it's
a family-oriented environment," Rackham student Tina
Holder said.
Brown said she believes the suspects entered the
units through the patio doors which can be lifted out of
their track if a security bar is not put in place. The own-
ers of the robbed units said they did not have their
doors secured. .

Israelis
encounter
resistance
in Jenin
NABLUS, West Bank,(AP) -
Israeli troops fought fierce battles
with Palestinians in the West Bank
yesterday, encountering stiff resist-
ance in the crowded Jenin refugee
camp and in the winding alleyways
of Nablus' Old City.
At least 14 Palestinians were
killed in Nablus, where dead bodies
were sprawled along narrow, rubble-
filled streets on the 10th day of
Israel's offensive to weed out mili-
tants staging deadly terror attacks
on its civilians.
Early today, helicopter gunships
fired 18 or 19 missiles into a:West
Bank refugee camp on the western
edge of the city of Jenin, witnesses
said. The attack came after troops used
loudspeakers to warn militants about
the attack and urge them to surrender,
witnesses said.
The renewed fighting came as Sec-
retary of State Colin Powell, due in the
region this weekto try to resolve the
crisis, said that Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon has "taken very much to
heart" President Bush's call Saturday
for an immediate withdrawal from
Palestinian areas.
But Powell noted that the Israeli.
leader has yet to set a timetable for a
pullback and Bush has not demanded
one. "The president doesn't give orders
to a sovereign prime minister of another
country," Powell said on NBC's "Meet
the Press."
On another front, there were
exchanges of fire between Lebanese
guerrillas and the Israeli military yes-
terday. Six Israeli soldiers were wound-
ed, the military said.
In a phone conversation late yester-
day, Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres asked Powell to intervene with
Lebanon and Syria to calm the border.
They also discussed possibilities for a
