Boy’s Market to oust priests
Menlo braces for change
By Michael Utley
Staff Writer
Plans for a multimillion-dollar supermarket at the comer of Vermont Avenue and Adams Boulevard are sending shock waves through the ranks of preservationists who oppose development of the historic North University Park area.
At least one group of homeowners is being forced from their property on Menlo Avenue to make room for the proposed 75,000 square-foot market.
A group of Jesuit priests, using one house on the street as headquarters for their religious activities and two others as a haven for homeless families, has not been able to relocate despite help from the city.
"We don't know where we're going to go," said Father Louis Franklin, a Jesuit priest who helps raise money for the facility. "It's killing me. I promised those families I would help them as much as I can, but in about two months I'll be gone."
City officials cited the "revitalization” of the area as sufficient reason for invoking eminent domain, and stressed the need for this market as a vital community redevelopment project to bring business to the area.
The Boy's Market chain owns the lot on Vermont Avenue and plans to begin construction of the $9-million project in the summer of 1991, after a developer has been selected, said Oscar Jauregui of the Hoover Redevelopment Project, a branch of

Congress proposes national day to pray for hostages’ release
WASHINGTON — A bipartisan resolution was introduced in Congress on Tuesday to mark journalist Terry Anderson s birthday next month with a national day of prayer for the eight Americans held hostage in Lebanon.
Anderson, chief Middle East correspondent for The Associated Press, was kidnapped March 16,
1985.	The resolution, co-sponsored by 84 members of Congress, would set aside Oct. 27 as National Hostage Awareness Day and would call for church bells to ring for one minute at noon.
“It’s ... an exercise in conscience for th& American people, so we can say we did what we could," Rep.
Paul Henry, the Michigan Republican who introduced the resolution, said at a news conference. “This is something we want to have all Americans rally behind.”

Senate’s first ‘Speakout’ attacks parking
Limited spaces, high costs upset students
By Andrew Vrees
Staff Writer
Students annoyed with parking problems drove their point home to university parking officials Tuesday night at the Student Senate's first "Speakout."
Student complaints ranged from limited parking on campus to the dangers of parking off campus.
"The parking problem is very severe. It is absolutely nauseating,'1 said Anthony DeBarry, elections and recruitment chairman.
Turnout for the Speakout was slim, but the 20 students who showed up had their complaints heard and their questions answered.
The students' chief complaint was the lack of campus parking spaces.
"Our policy is: We sell a permit to anyone who desires it, and we will provide them a place to park," said Roy Heidicker, associate director of parking.
This policy in itself causes problems for students who think they will be able to park on campus, Heidicker said.
"When we sell commuters a permit, we are up front with them. We tell them they will not always be able to park on campus. We tell them that if they think they are going to park on campus daily then not to buy a permit," he said.
Commuters have ended up feeling the effects of the parking crunch, Heidicker said.
"Shit rolls down hill and lands on commuter students," he said.
However, Heidicker made it clear that parking is available for all commuter permit holders. There are several satellite parking areas, the biggest being the Menlo lot near the Coliseum.
One student questioned Heidicker on the safety of the Menlo lots.
"Don't walk to Menlo at night," Heidicker responded.
Though personal safety is a question at Menlo, he said, cars are safe there in comparison to other lots that he described as, "Disneyland for car thieves. It's the best thing since sliced bread.
"I don't want students there," Heidicker said. "It just doesn't make sense."
One of the Menlo lots' biggest problems, Heidicker said, is the expense of renting them. It costs a dollar a day per car, which totals $200,000 a year.
The money does not come from the university but from Parking Services. The more money it costs to provide spaces, the more it will cost for a permit.
Heidicker acknowledged that the problem could be alleviated by building new structures, but stressed that such a plan (See Parking, page 25)

Facility needed
Escort Service: Catch-22 for drunk students
By Michael Utley
Staff Writer
The university is in dire need of a facility where students can be taken when they are either too drunk or too high to safely care for themselves, an Escort Service official said Tuesday.
Currently, Escort Service is required to report all intoxicated students lo the Office of Student Conduct, said Dennis Archambault, special projects ad-
ministrator for Escort.
Those students are then required to attend a counseling session and may be disciplined if they are underage and living in university housing.
But this policy brings up a difficult question — one that students seem to agree on, though the university has yet to address it: What about students who decide to get home another way, perhaps a more dangerous way, be-
cause they are afraid of being turned in by Escort Service?
"I think it's definitely going to keep people away (from Escort)," said Eric Bernstein, a senior majoring in biology. "It comes down to student safety-It's better that they are calling when, they're drunk than trying to get home on their own. The university should realize that."
