B4 Thursday, June 4, 1992 The Philadelphia Inquirer Princeton alumna, dining club settle bias suit after 13 years SAVE $100 legal fees to the New Jersey Ameri can Civil Liberties Union, which rep resented Frank. Both sides declared victory after the settlement, which was reached before U.S. Magistrate Ronald Hedges. "Tiger Inn considers this to be a victory," Hugin said. "Although Ti ger Inn would have preferred to try the case, the settlement will save Department of Law and Public Safety's Civil Rights Division ordered Princeton's eating clubs to admit women.

The decision was upheld in 1990 by the New Jersey Supreme Court. In 1991, a federal appeals court said the clubs had the right to pursue the case on federal grounds. But the issue has almost been made moot by the current generation of students. The Tiger Inn, Princeton University's last all-male eating club, ended its male-only days in February 1991, when it admitted 27 women. By dropping their federal lawsuit yesterday, the Tiger Inn now is bound by the state Supreme Court decision and must admit women.

The Tiger Inn and the Ivy Club also have agreed to each pay $43,000 in ASSOCIATKOPKHSS NEWARK, N.J. A Princeton University eating club and a female graduate agreed yesterday to a settlement of their 13-year-old battle over the membership policies of the formerly male bastion. But the acrimony between Princeton alumna Sally Frank and the Tiger Inn did not succumb with the settlement. Tiger Inn president Robert Hugin accused Frank of "politically correct fascism." Frank, who has accused the eating club lawyers of spouting anti-female invective in the past, scoffed at Hugin. "Is obeying the law politically correct fascism?" she asked.

In 1987, eight years after Frank filed a complaint, the New Jersey 7 substantial costs that would have been carried by our members." Frank, a law professor at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, said her eyes were on the membership rolls, not the bottom line or legal fees. "This is a case of illegal discrimination, and now the discrimination has ended," she said. Walnut St. at S. 17th St.

City Famous Rolling Chairs, considered making a bid to put mini-trams on the Boardwalk. "They wouldn't cause as much damage and would still fit the need of the public," said Belfer, who opposes the slightly larger vehicles required under the new proposal.

Belfer said he expects the return of the trams to have some impact on his rolling-chair business. "But we'll be able to survive," he added. Council could award a contract as early as its July 1 meeting, Gallagher said. However, given the time frame to manufacture the vehicles, "it's unlikely we'll see the trams this summer," he said. TRAMS from B1 ordinance did not specify weight, just the number of seats: 60 to 100.

Tram operators will also have to offer a choice of single fares, to be set at either SI or $2, or an all-day pass for SS. Boardwalk merchants insisted on the all-day pass to enable patrons to get on and off in order to shop. In the past, the trams charged a fare of $1 with every boarding. "Once someone was on the tram, they didn't get off to shop," said Frank Glaser, president of the Boardwalk Merchants Association and owner of James Salt Water Taffy which has several locations on the wooden way. The new ordinance further re quires stops at every other block from New Jersey Avenue to Albany Avenue, alternating streets on the return trip, said city solicitor Paul Gallagher.

The old trams stopped only in front of casinos, he said. City Council also has the option to reject all bids if the tram design fails to meet "aesthetic qualities," Gallagher said. "I don't know how you define what's ugly, but they want to get away from the jeep and car aspect (of previous tramsl." Gallagher envisions trolley-car-type trams that hold about 20 people.

Four officers rushed the car, sprayed in Mace from both sides. Ebron fired a sawed-off shotgun, hitting a police officer in his bulletproof vest. Two officers shot back, killing Ebron with six bullets. "He got what he wanted," Lower Moreland Police Chief Frank Ama-bile said "We didn't." Added Deborah Doheny, who was Lower Moreland's principal police negotiator: "He was destined to die. He was ready for it, prepared for it.

I've never seen anything like it." But Cohen said Ebron's family questioned why police tried to end the standoff at 1 a.m. "How was waiting until 4 a.m. a greater public danger?" Cohen asked. Cohen said he wanted to know how police had devised their rescue plan and what alternatives they had considered. Why didn't police use fire hoses or chemicals to subdue Ebron from a safe distance? he asked.

Did police consider any medical or psychological conditions or Ebron's professed fear of police that may have led to his erratic behavior? Cohen asked. "If there are responsible answers to these questions, that needs to be known not only for the family, but for the community," Cohen said. Cohen said yesterday that he had not yet contacted police officials. "Today is the day for grief for the family," he said. By Kristin E.

Holmes, Larry King and Michael L. Rozansky IMJUKKH STAFF WKITKHS One week after Marseilles D. Ebron forced police into a standoff that ended in violence, his death was privately mourned and publicly questioned yesterday. About 200 friends and family members at a North Philadelphia funeral home remembered Ebron, 35, as a big-hearted man whose "smile shined like a diamond." A lawyer for Ebron's relatives, meanwhile, said they were troubled by the tactics police used to the 10-hour siege that ended in Ebron's death. "The family has concerns about the procedures employed by the police at the scene," said Center City lawyer Stewart Cohen, whom the family hired Monday.

"The police said they handled the situation by the book." The family would "like to take a look at the book." Relatives have asked Cohen to arrange a meeting with police officials to address the family's questions, the lawyer said. Ebron, the suspect in a string of armed robberies, was fleeing police on May 27 when his car stalled at a busy intersection in Huntingdon Valley. Negotiators tried to talk him out of the car, but Ebron, an ex-convict, said he would rather die than return to prison, according to police.
