Ann Arbor gets a taste of Meditteranean nightlife

By GEORGE ADAMS
Today is the last chance to get "a 100
percent return on your money in the
form of a good time," at the Ann Arbor
Ya'ssoo Greek Festival, according to
festival chairman Nick Beltsos.
The three-day festival, which ends
tonight, offers Greek variations in food,
dancing, and entertainment, and is
located at 414 N. Main on the grounds of
its sponsor, the St. Nicholas Greek Or-
thodox Church.
"IT'S GREAT," said Leo Res, a
University sophomore who was born in
Greece. "I've been coming here for six
years now and this is just the greatest."
Evans - Mirageas, the festival's
master of ceremonies, said, "this is the
best year yet" for the festival.
"The dancers, food, a lot of what you
see here you probably couldn't even
find in Greece anymore," Mirageas
said.
DESPITE LAGGING attendance at
the festival's Thursday opening,
crowds picked up yesterday and even
more people are expected today.
Dean Nikolaides, a member of a
Greek band performing at the festival,
said the crowds have been "very recep-
tive."
"They look like they're having such a
good time, it's a pleasure to play," he
added.
The festival has had a noticeable lack
of security problems, one security
guard said. "Everyone's just having

fun. There's no real reason to have
security here," said John O'Grady of
Wells Fargo Security.
Tonight's entertainment will feature

the St. Nicholas Dancers in native
Greek costumes and a Detroit-based
Greek band.
Not all the dancing, however, is on

the festival's schedule. Late at night,
many visitors spontaneously break into
the "zembikikos," an improvised dance
with a lengthy Greek tradition.

Summit looks at world recession

VERSAILLES, France (AP) -
President Reagan joined other leaders
of the world's major industrial'
democracies at the lavish estate of
French kings yesterday, already com-
mitted to intensifying the battle against
inflation and revitalizing their
recession-plagued economies..
The question of how to achieve those
goals, however, still troubled the
leaders of the United States, Britain,
France, West German, Italy, Canada
and Japan who arrived separately by
helicopter on the well-manicured and
heavily guarded palace grounds.
Reagan flew to Versailles, 12 miles
southwest of Paris, at the end of a busy
day of private meetings in the French
capital, including a lengthy review of
the Falkland Islands crisis with British
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
SECRETARY OF State Alexander
Haig, reporting later on their 90-minute
meeting, said it was up to Argentina
whether to withdraw its forces from the..
Falklands and avert further bloodshed
in a new, perhaps climactic battle with
British troops.
Mrs. Thatcher said the United States
still was "very much" behind Britain in
the Falklands crisis.
"This is a historic summit. History
will be made in our meeting," Reagan
told Mayor Jacques Chirac during a
ceremony at the Paris city hall. Flut-
tering above them was an 18th century
American flag which George
Washington is said to have given to the
French military hero Lafayette.
REAGAN, WHO arrived in Paris
Wednesday night to begin a four-nation,
10-day European tour, got his first

change yesterday to see the sights in
the French capital on his way to Ver-
sailles.
His armored limousine took him
through the sealed-off Place de la Con-
corde, along the Seine River, past the
Eiffel Tower and down sun-drenched
city streets lined with flower stalls and
small stands offering live chickens for
sale.
The presidents' motorcade caused lit-
tle stir among Parisians. Pedestrians
paid him little heed, and metal police
barriers placed along curbs lined by
gendarmes were unneeded because few
crowds gathered along the unpublicized
motorcade route.
OUTSIDE PARIS, however,
terrorists bombed an American school
early yesterday morning and smeared
° anti-U.S. graffiti on the building to
protest President Reagan's visit to
France.
The bomb exploded outside the
primary and secondary school in the
Paris suburb of Saint Cloud at 1:30
a.m., damaging doors and smashing
windows. There were no injuries.
Meanwhile, aides to Reagan and the
six other summit leaders - Mrs. That-
cher, French President Francois
Miterrand, West German Chancellor
Helmut Schmidt, Italian Prime
Minister Giovanni Spadolini, Japanese
Prime Minister Zenko Suzuki and
Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott
Trudeau - labored over drafts of the
final communique that will end the
summit tomorrow evening.
