Templin halls, Stoner said.
"It is not worth the time and effort to install the temporary detectors now, and then install the permanent detectors this summer as well," he said.
The temporary detectors cost $10 each, for a total cost of $2,500. Stoner said. The cost of installing permanent detectors will be about $40,000 per hall.
McCollim, Hashinger, Ellsworth, Lewis and Templin halls do not have smoke detectors. The housing office has installed permanent detectors in GSP-Corbin and Joseph R. Pearson, who is installing detectors in Oliver Hall.
Jim Malench, Edwardsville, Ill., senior and president of Ellsworth Hall, said he thought all the halls should have smoke detectors.
"I think it is about time they put the detectors in." Malench said. "I was suprised they had not put them in the past. I don't understand why they didn't put them in all the halls at the same time."
Malench said he thought the smoke detectors would make the balls safer.
detectors would make the halls safer.
"The detectors provide another means of alerting everyone when a fire starts," he said. "And the sooner a fire is found the better."
Bonnie Johnson, Shawnee, Okla., junior and president of Hashinger Hall, said that fires did sometimes occur in the residence halls and that she was concerned that a fire would spread quicker without a smoke detector.
"They should be put in for the resident's safety." Johnson said. "If a room was on fire and filling with smoke, without a smoke detector the people next door would have no idea that a fire had started until smoke started filling their room."
City council selects acting Chicago mayor
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Eugene Sawyer, Chicago's longest serving black alderman, was elected acting mayor today after a chaotic $6 \frac{1}{2} $ hour City Council meeting marked by spectators waving dollar bills and shouting "No Deals!"
Sawyer, who succeeds the late Mayor Harold Washington, the city's first black mayor, was elected with the help of white aldermen who once had vigorously opposed his predecessor.
The council vote, which came at 4 a.m., was 29-19, with two not voting.
At one point during the wringling,
a alderman stood on his desk in an
award standing room.
Sawyer, who has ties to the regular Democratic organization, sat quietly in the chambers as aldermen wrangled through the night over whether he or Timothy Evans, another black alderman and Washington's former floor leader, should be elected to lead the nation's third-largest city.
Sawyer and Evans shook hands after the vote. But motions to make it unanimous drew shouts of "No!" from Evans supporters.
The meeting, which began 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, became bogged down by procedural arguments, courtroom maneuvering, and an angry but peaceful demonstration by thousands outside City Hall.
After rejecting repeated motions to adjourn about midnight, aldermen began a marathon debate of the qualifications of Sawyer and Evans.
Sawyer, 54, was scorned by most of the estimated 5,000 people who jammed City Hall corridors and forced city streets at Moynihan Street during rush-hour Tuesday.
to Washington, who died suddenly of a heart attack a week ago today at age 65, until after the crowd had dwindled to about 1,000.
Allies of Evans used one procedural move after another as they tried unsuccessfully to postpone a vote until Friday, giving their candidate more time to gather support.
Sawyer had sought to forge a coalition with white and Hispanic aldermen that would give him the votes he needed. But his supporters, though contending he had enough voted to be elected, said he needed more support among the black community.
With his family and interim mayor David Orr standing nearby, Sawyer took the oak of office in his council to carry on Washington's policies.
The council didn't begin seriously moving toward electing a successor
He defended himself against charges that he was tied to old-line machine politics.
"You have heard questions about my support of the reform movement," he said. "Let me end all speculation now.
"The reform movement initiated by Harold Washington shall remain intact and go forward. It will continue untainted by special interests. This city government will be an open city government ... there shall be no cronism or favoritism."
"When Harold Washington proclaimed the machine is dead, he was speaking the absolute truth."
The acting mayor will serve until an election, expected to be called for April 1989, in which city voters will choose a mayor to serve the remainder of Washington's term, which runs until April 1991.
