City Council is about to act for
the first time on providing large-
scale, low-rent housing.
Several councilmen feel that
neither the University nor private
developers have assumed respon-
sibility for lowering housing costs
and increasing supply. They and
the Housing Commission have
urged the City to try to improve
the housing situation on its own.
The comprehensive housing pro-
posal suggested to Council by the
city's Housing Commission this
month, consists of two federally-
subsidized programs.
The first, approved by Council
last Monday night, provides emer-

gency housing on a year-to-year
basis through the federal Depart-
ment of Housing and Urban De-
velopment's Section 23 Leased
Housing program. The 40 units
authorized will provide temporary
housing for at least 36 emergency
housing cases documented by the
city's Human Relations Commis-
sion.
After Council approved the
emergency leasing program last
week, the program was returned
to the Housing Commission for
administration. However, the Com-
mission decided not to apply for
the federal funds until a perman-
ent housing director is appointed.
While the city has acted for the

first time in providing emergency
housing, the housing itself cannot
be provided until administrative
programs are finalized.
The temporary emergency hous-
ing is not designated for students.
However, the second part of the
program may be. If enacted, the
Housing Commission's proposal for
subsidized low-rent housing would
provide a number of units cor-
responding to the City's assessed
need. Students might quality for
housing under this program, ac-
cording to federal administrators.
Council delayed action on the
first step in this program, a bill
giving the Housing Commission
power to apply to the federal

Public Housing Administration for
preliminary loan to study the
City's housing needs. Out of this
study could come a request for
federal funds for building and
leasing permanent low-rent hous-
ing.
Several Councilmen said they
feared acting on the proposal be-
fore they understand what obliga-
tions the City would incur to the
federal government. The proposal
was submitted to Council on
March 24, less than one week be-
fore they were expected to act on
it. Council had considered the
program earlier in several working'
sessions, however.
Earlier in March, Assistant City'

Attorney Fred Steingold detailedi
the Housing Commission's legal
position in applying for the loan.
At about the same time, Council-
man Robert Weeks submitted a
series of questions to Theodore
Veenstra, regional head of the
Public Housing Administrations.
Among questions submitted by
Weeks was one on how students
would be involved in the program.
Veenstra answered,
"It is up to the local Housing
Commission to establish an ad-
mission policy. City Council may
require that it be submitted to it
for approval. The only restriction
is that there not be discrimination
based on race, creed, or country of

national origin. Students 'are low-
income in many cases and could
be considered eligible. But since
they are a special category for
which provisions are sometimes
made, they may be excluded."
Even with reports from Weeks,
Steingold and the commission it-
self, several councilmen felt that
the long-range program still had
not been clarified. Councilman
Richard Balzhiser submitted a
series of questions to the commis-
sion last Thursday. Blazhiser said
he did not know when the com-
mission would answer his ques-
tions, but that he felt the answers
were necessary for further Council
consideration of the proposal.

Balzhiser inquired whether the'
City would be forced to repay
study funds to the federal govern-
ment if the commission's prelim-
inary estimates of need did not
correlate with the result of the
study.
Balzhiser also wondered whether
it would be economically favor-
able for the City to provide special
student housing. He felt that the
City might gain more revenue
from its own student housing as
compared to University or private
developments.

proposed construction program
would be currently feasible.
In addition to awaiting answers
to the questions submitted by
Balzhiser and others, Council will
be delayed in taking action on
the housing program until at least
two new Councilmen are able to
familiarize themselves with the
commission's programs.
With the issue postponed on
March 28, no meeting on April 4
due to the city elections, and next
Monday's meeting centered on in-
duction of two new councilmen, it
could be a month or more before


Auto Safety
Report Lauds'
Seat Belts
Scientists Say Belts
Could Save 12,000
Lives Every Year
Two University scientists have
just finished a study that may re-
sult in the savings of more than
12,000 lives each year-if the pub-
lic, the auto industry, and law-
makers copperate.
Donald Huelke and Dr. Paul
Gikas have turned in to the U.S.
Public Health Service a four-year
on-the -spot report of auto deaths
in the Ann Arbor area. The men
studied the car, driver and road-
way in reconstructing each one of
the area's 139 fatal accidents over
the four-year period.
STheseare the striking conclu-
sions :,
-Forty per cent of the 177 per-
sons killed in these accidents would
have lived if they had been wear-
ing a simple lap seat belt.
-Twenty per cent more would
have been saved by single- or
double-strapped shoulder har-
nesses and belts.
-Only 37 per cent would have
died regardless of belts.
Huelke sums up these figures by
saying, "Anybody who does not
wear a seat belt is stupid."
To the argument occasionally
used that the use of seat belts may
cause deaths in some accidents
the scientists retort: "We have
had only one case of a survivor
who owes his life to not wearing
a seat belt, compared to 71 who
owe their deaths to not wearing
one."
Other interesting findings were:
-At least half of the drivers
judged at fault had been drinking.
-More fatal accidents occur on
Sunday afternoons and Friday
evenings than any other time;
The doctors concluded that if
seatbelts were worn by all car
riders the same percentage of rid-
ers that would have been saved
above would repeat itself. Al-
though conceding accidents will,
always occur, they concluded there
is alot to be done in auto safety
laws and car improvements.
"We don't disagree with those
who say a dollar spent for safety
is best spent in the car. We say
we ought to spend $3 instead of
one and spread them around. This
was done to fight polio, and it
succeeded."

Late World News
UNITED NATIONS (RP)-The U.N. Security Council late
last night called on Britain to use force, if necessary, to halt
tankers believed to be carrying oil for Rhodesia.
The vote was 10-0 with 5 abstaining. Those abstaining
were Mali, France, Uruguay, Bulgaria and the Soviet Union.
The vote came after a full day of debate in which African
countries, with the support of the Soviet Union, sought
unsuccessfully to broaden a British-sponsored resolution to
authorize the use of force to topple the rebel government of
Ian Smith.
Main proviisons of the approved resolution included the
following:
* An appeal to Portugal not to receive oil at Beira to
be pumped through the piepline from Beira to Rhodesia.
. An appeal to all countries to insure the diversion of
any of their vessels believed to be carrying oil for Rhodesia.
* The authorization for Britain to use force.
A series of African amendments failed by votes of 6-0
and 7-0. Nine votes were required for approval.

Although there is a growing in-

Campus Ministers View Role of C

By RICHARD MORROW
Third of a Series
He who considers himself an
average student should know what
is going on in the "average stu-
dent's mind' and how he views
the function of the church.
What he probably doesn't know
is how the average campus min-
ister views the church, that is,
how he views his work and the
job that needs to be done by the
church on a university campus.
In' many instances it is easier to
define a problem than it is to
advance a solution.
The question of the role of the
church and other religious or-
ganizations on this campus was
posed to those same ministers and
religious workers who, in the pre-
vious article, voiced their evalua-
tion of this student generation.
The answers obtained were gen-

Some ministers stated it more
strongly; "The church needs to
listen and learn from the students.
It should stop giving answers be-
fore its heard the questions."
Others said the same thing in
different ways, "We should be
sensitive . . . we must be aware
.. the church should get involv-
ed with that which concerns the
student." The question, of course,
is, "How do you adapt to the
needs and concerns of the stu-
dent?" The general answer was
usually, "Remain creative, be flex-
ible, experiment, be realistic and
be relevant."
It becomes apparent that if the
role of the church is to be one
of listening and adapting to the
needs of the student, it cannot be
a rigid and inflexible approach.
Some specific ideas emerged in
an -.n.arfnn'mu - mnra

to be urged to articulate an un-
derlying point of view, others need
to be urged toward a particular
commitment and made to realize
the responsibility of a commit-
ment. He said the first of these,
the articulation of a basic per-
spective needs to be done in co-
operation with the University. This
appeared as the second of the
most prevelant notions.
Mr. Postema, Rev. Bell of the
Episcopal Church and Rev. Yoder
at the Lutheran Student Center
said, and others implied, the
church needs to actively partici-
pate in the destruction of the
sadred-secular dichotomy. We tend
to separate reality into sacred and
secular, spiritual and material,
religious and nonreligious which,
in turn, prompts us to overlook
the religious nature of that which

Rev. Yoder voiced the general
discontent by saying that the
church has to stop just saying and
begin doing also. Bob Haurt, Pro-
gram Coordinator for the Office
of Religious Affairs emphasized
the point in insisting that the
church ought to be taking moral
leadership in contemporary social
issues instead of later jumping
on an already rolling bandwagon.
To do so, said Rev. Light, is to
take a risk, but its a risk that
must be taken and one that the
church ought to be prepared and
willing to take.
Some other thoughts on the
notion of involvement were re-
vealed. Rev. Bell contributed the
thought that in order to be in-
volved in a relevant way, the
church (and those who chose to
associate with it) needs to know
