A WORD from the President
I was surprised by the depth of the reaction to the warning about the rapist in the last Z News. I've requested the Police Department to give our community a presentation on rape prevention and reporting and they will do so at Kinney Avenue Baptist Church, Monday, November 27 at 7:00 p·m· (Our regulary meeting takes place November 20).Lieutenant Sasek of the Community Relations Dept. served several years in the Sex Crimes Division and I'm confident that he will be able to field any questions.
My own feeling on the matter is that one rape in our neighborhood is too many, but our best defense against the violent criminal is close contact with our neighbors. We're fortunate to have many retired persons and people who work out of their homes in our neighborhood, which makes it an undesirable target from the criminal viewpoint.
So next time you see that familiar neighbor whose name you just can't place, go on up and introduce yourself. He or she may save your life someday.

IN CASE YOU MISSED THE LAST MEETING, HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED........ The November 8, 1982 meeting of the Zilker Neighborhood Association elected new officers of the association. These are President: Richard Gravois, Vice President: Cicily Simms, Secretary: Walt Bronstad, Treasurer: Charles Lohrmann, Neighborhood Council Representative: Glenna Balch.
Cicily Simms noted that the association represents 81 members and has a treasury balance of $240.
Glenna Balch proposed that our association accept membership in United South Austin, an association of neighborhood groups. This extended association will give us access to and outlet for broader community concerns. The member- ship endorsed her suggestion.
Cicily Simms explained her role on the city's zoning commission task force. She solicited any expression of con- cerns about the proposed changes in the zoning statutes.

Parks Dept. Puts 10,000 People into Our Streets
MTV has gotten approval from Parks and Recreation Dept. (PARD) to hold a three day event in Zilker Park October 17, 18, & 19. The went will be in the area of the soccer fields and will include loud music, loudspeakers and yet to be announced activities. The 10,000 people will presumably park at Palmer Auditorium and be shuttled to the park. The neighborhood is supposed to be blocked off from parking on the streets with barricades. We are hoping the barricades will be staffed, otherwise according to Bouldin Neighborhood experience with Auditorium Shores crowds, the barricades are useless. The event is apparently in Zillcer Park because PARD has already exceeded its agreed limit on the number of annual events at Auditorium Shores, and the Chamber of Commerce just could not lose this opportunity to promote Austin (as if Austin needed any more promotion and growth). The event will be compa~able in size to AquaPest. Call Amy Little with the Austin Sports Foundation (a Chamber of Commerce supported group) at 322-5654 and the Parks Dept at 499-6700 to voice your concerns. The question is are we going to allow our parks to become carnivals and amusement parks? Welcome to Austin,

MTV Please Leave
We have MTV behind us now.We've had the experience of them owning our park for weeks and overcharging pur wide-eyed kids for junk food while using them for extras on their telc- vision program. We can say, "Goodbye, and please don't come again." Admittedly they put a lot of money and effort into minimizing their offensive presence. However, it proves that while you can try not to offend the neighborhoods by all means available, an oversized, pumped and noisy spectacle like the MTV park give-a-way is totally inappropriate for our City parks and particularly Zilker. One of the biggest problems (besides the combat-like Friday night helicopter attack) was the all-night construction noise for days before and days after the main event. City code restricts construction within several hundred feet of a residence after 10:00 p.m. and before 7:00 a.m. The construction of their sets and the destruction of our park were slightly further away, so we were blessed with hammering, sawing, trucks, traffic, radios and shouting workers. Goodbye MTV, don't come back now, ya hear?
