Education school Dean Wil-
bur Cohen last night told a stu-
dent group that lie preferred
increased admissions of black
students to meet the need for
ghetto teachers over a black
studies program.
At a "rap-in" sponsored by
Students for Educational In-
novation, Cohen also called for
granting degree credit for stu-
dents with practical educational
experience. He condemned the
"barrier to our national effort
to remake the social structure"
posed by a "credentials society. '
"I would rather train more
black teachers and accept fewer
whites into the school," Cohen
responded to a student who

sugeested black studies as part
of urban teacher training.
Cohen explained that black
studies "are not as productive
as some people think," a n d
said faculty resources could be
better directed towards increas-
ing the relevance of classroom
instruction to projects of
teacher training in urban edu-
cation.
Although he felt accelerated
admissions of black students
would be more efficient program
for production of ghetto teach-
ers than a black studies course.
Cohen admitted that black stu-
dies could be valuable for
teachers in white communities.

In its first meeting of the
year last night, the Black
Student Union (BSU), unani-
mously opposed the way the
Afro-American concentration
program is presently operat
ing.
Ron Harris, chairman of BSU,
expressed concern w h e n the
course, Afro -American Survey:
History from a Black Perspective,
first met last Friday and there
were no black teaching fellows.
However. Harris explained that
visiting honors Prof. Harold
Cruse, the black lecturer for the
course, said the composition of
the teaching fellows has been
changed to three black and one
white.
Harris feels that the way plan-
ning and execution of this course
has been handled is symptomatic
of the problems in the entire
Afro-American concentration pro-
gram. BSU issued a statement say-
ing it is "extremely dissatisfied
and opposed to the Afro-American
concentration program as it is op-
erating at this time."
Four reasons forethis dassatis-
faction are cited:
-There are too many white.
in the program:
-Open and unlimited admis-
sions to black students has not
been practiced;
-There is apparent lack of in-
itiative on the part of the Univer-
sity in finding qualified black in-
structors in any of the subjects
to be included in the Afro-Ameri-
can Studies concentration pro-
-,ram;
-There is a lack of black stu-
dent participation in the setting
up of the program.
Bacause BSU is dissatisfied with
the way the undergraduate portion
of the concentration is working.
they have decided to suspend all
action on the graduate level until
the undergraduate program is
"satisfactorily completed.''
The statement issued by the
BSU also states, "if changes are
not made, action will be taken."
Alozie Wachukwu. from the
Biafran S t u d e n t s Organization
spoke briefly. He explained the
history of the Nigeria-Biafra civil
war. and expressed the willingness
of the Biafra Students Organizq-
tion to cooperate with BSU on
some of its programs.

Mayor Robert Harris Wednesday
night told the City Housing Com-
mission that he hopes to begin
shortly an aggressive attack on
housing code violations and "un-
conscionable damage deposits."
If City Council approves his
proposal. Harris said he will ap-
point a council committee to study
building code enforcement and
damage deposits.
The committee will also keep
statistics on housing conditions
and long range needs. In 1967,
however, the council had rejected
a $27,000 study designed to estab-
lish a "data bank" on current and
project housing conditions and
needs. The study had been pre-
pared by a Detroit survey firm for
the Housing Commission.
The council committee may also
propose new housing laws, Harris
added.
The mayor made his proposal
for the special council committee,
he said, because "we're in a great
housing shortage at the moment,
partly due to an absence of major
new apartment construction dur-
ing the past year, particularly near
the University campus."
Harris added that the extent of
housing problems in the city de-
pends partly on "specific Univer-
sity decisions."
The University this fall enrolled
over 200 more students who want-
ed University housing than could
be provided for, in addition to a
large number of students who
could not find available city hous-
