To illustrate the problem, resident Sid Shaw read the council a list of incidents that have occurred in the last year at 2427 7th St, near his house. A sampling: May, 1989.

Heyman, who ordered the campus to stay open the day after the quake, said that in retrospect I can appreciate the concerns that many have expressed to me about this decision.

Manager Weldon Rucker, who is in charge of the city's drug effort, said the landlords of crack houses named in Rosens letter to Wainwright and the have been asked to come to City Hall and discuss what they can do to get crack-sellers out of their apartment buildings. The city, Rucker said, intends to do something. vulnerable buildings, said that the building "would jut pancake right down to the basement in a major earthquake Loring A. Wyllie a structural engineer who has examined University Hall both before and after Oct 1 7, said he was not surprised at how it fared "The buildingdoes have a fair amount of brute strength, Wyllie said.

But given a 7.0 magnitude shock on the Hayward Fault, which lies about six blocks east, there is a risk to life safety, he Daniel Boggan C91T Vice chancellor id business and ad-' minlstrative services, did say reinforcing the building is a priority, but that he could not say when the work would begin. "The issue is when we can do it, given limited resources, Boggan said, adding that it is unlikely the building will be closed.

Finney said the steeple and the nave of the church, built in 1893, were damaged. The building is now being stabilized and the dio- cese wont make a decision on repairing it until early next year.

The Paramount Theatre on Broadway suffered as much as 9500,000 damage, but the landmark movie palace will open on Nov. 17 with a Busby Berkeley musical, said manager Peter Botto. Most of the damage yps to ornamental fixtures; theuturc-ture of the building is secure, he said.

Expensive with white people driving. A lot of business comes from all over the building, stated a UC planning guide Issued last May, which outlined an estimated 8 million in needed improvements at Univer-sity Hall. This presents an unacceptable risk to human lives, the guide said. Ernest Hook, a professor of public health who warned about the danger three weeks before the Oct 17 quake, said the university "is acting irresponsibly to work in a building they themselves have labeled as posing an unacceptable risk. "The university has no other option morally but to evacuate that building It should be shut down tomorrow, he said.

A petition circulating among employees working in the building urges that it "be vacated immediately. "The earthquake of Oct 17 is a salutary warning to take immediate and effective remedial measures to avoid a major tragedy, the petition stated. "Engineers have been saying the building is unsafe for years and nothing has been done about it We are sitting ducks, said one petition signer who asked that heri name be withheld. Ronald W. Brady, senior, vice the council and lost in 1987.

School board incumbents, who cited the district's dramatic turnaround during their terms, were heartened yesterday by some good news about student test scores. On the California Assessment Program (CAP), Emery had Alameda County's highest scores, for eighth grade math and history. It was another signal that the district, on the verge of closing down in 1983, has come back. After near-bankruptcy, it paid off a 8600,000 state bailout loan early, acquired a reserve of more than $1 million and steadily restored and added to a program hit hard by austerity cuts. Although Capellino, Boiling and Bateman ran on those achievements, Dixon criticized the district Voters knocked Dixon off the board in 1987 after teachers accused her of harassing them, and Superintendent Peter Corona alleged she had tried to hire a contract killer to do away with him and a witch to put a curse on him.

My husband wants to get me a bullet-proof vest In an interview, Deputy City president for administration to whom the petition was addressed, said the building was undamaged by the earthquake. "University Hall is not any different structurally now than it' was five years ago or the day before the quake, Brady said.

Brady said that 20 percent of UCs buildings around the state are rated poor or very poor structurally. We cant close down 20 percent of our buildings, Brady Built in the mid-1950s, the seven-story University Hall is situated on the south side of University Avenue, where that street runs into the1 west side of campus.

Some adjoining buildings share a common foundation with the Broadway Building and may also be in Jeopardy, he said. Preservationists cherish the Broadway Building for its own beauty, and ita graceful, elegant completion of City Hall Plaza, said Annalee Allen, president of the Oakland Heritage Alliance.

Craigo, who yesterday visited the 77-year-old Amtrak depot In West Oakland, said the damage is mostly superficial. The building is easily repairable. But Southern Pacific officials, who would like to relocate the Amtrak depot to Jack London Square, have generally been negative about the building's future. Yesterday, SP civil engineer K.P. Casey said The damage appears to be repairable, but it may be too expensive.
