Low-cost student
housing planned
By TOBE LEV
A dispute has arisen over funding of the project, but no one
will dispute the need for low-cost student housing-a need which has
been so effectively dramatized by the rent strike.
Both the Office of University Housing and its student advisory
committee have agreed on plans to build low-cost apartments for 1000
students by 1972. Projected rent in the two 200-unit housing complexes
in now estimated at as little as $40 a man for a two-man apartment.
Edward Salowitz, assistant director of University housing, says
construction is tentatively planned to start in fall 1970. But neither
the exact cost of the project nor a method of funding has been
definitely determined although price estimates are currently in the
area of $10 million.
Chuck Snyder, Grad, a member of the Student Advisory Com-
mittee on Housing, says the new units would mostly house single
students, although married, students without children would also be
accommodated in about 25 per cent of the units. No exact percentage
has been set yet.
The project is still in the planning stages as the dispute over
funding emerges. No site has been selected yet and no construction
firm has been contracted.
The proposed units would provide a combination of two-, three-
and four-man apartments. Most of the apartments would be for two
students with some larger units.

-Asociated Press
Detroit's Mayor, Jerome P. Cavanagh, announces yesterday he
will not seek a third four-year term. The mayor insisted this
decision is not a result of recent liberal setbacks in Los Angeles,
New York and Minneapolis. The man who seems most likely to
gain as a result of Cavanagh's decision is Wayne County Auditor
Richard Austin, the first prominent black to seek the Detroit
mayoralty and the most liberal of the four candidates currently
in the race.

A different kind of sit-in

Both the University housing office and SACH, its advisory com-
mittee, agree that the new units should be funded in part through Eight Detroit women sit-in in Episcopal Bishop Emrich's office to protest his refusal to meet offi-

from the residence- hall reserves-profits from dorm operations and
married student housing. GOVERNMENT REPORT:
The Regents have already passed an average $40 dorm fee hike,
which will be used to maintain the reserves and would help pay for -

the new units if Feldkamp's plan is followed.
Feldkamp had also hoped to pass a $5 rent increase for married
students which would be used for the planned construction. But SACH
disagreed and voted against Feldkamp.
Monday the student affairs policy board voted to back SACH
and censured Feldkamp for going against the recommendations of
his advisory board and proposing the fee increase in a letter to

Chauncey, an HRC staff mem-
ber, was arrested by then Ann
Arbor patrolman Wagner while
he was testing the Star Bar on
Main St. for discrimination.
Chauncey charged he was assault-
ed at the police station by Wag-
ner, who had arrested him on
charges of disorderly conduct.
After investigation, charges were
dropped against Chauncey, and
Wagner Resigned from the Ann
Arbor police department. He was
immediately hired by County
Sheriff Douglas Harvey.
HRC took its action at last
night's meeting after more than
an hour of heated debate during
which assistant HRC director Bob
'Hunter walked out of the meeting.
Hunter, commission chairman
Lloyd Williams, and commissioner
Ruth Hobbs wanted the commis-
sion to approve a statement as-
serting what HRC believed to be
the actual facts of the entire in-
cident. Williams drafted the state-
ment after he and two commis-
sion members, Mildred Officer and
Ruth Hobbs, heard the tapes of
all testimony in the case.
However, several commission
members-most notably Deborah
Grubbs-ref used to support Wil-
liams' statement. Mrs. Grubbs
said she could not approve the
Istatement without hearing the
tapes herself.
She added she was "sick and
tired" of the Chauncey affair and
said she already has spent "hours
and meetings discussing the same
thing and I don't know anymore
now than at the first."
Both Mrs. Grubbs and recently
appointed commissioner Theodore

But the report calls for a re-
cognition by students "that t h e
language of the gutter, the shock
rhetoric, a willingness to mount
barricades, vandalism and person-
al assault do not constitute a
valid or effective means of get-
ting a better education."
California officials are urged
also to restore student and public
confidence in the educational pro-
cess by closely reviewing policies
on admissions, curriculum, stu-
dent discipline and student par-
ticipation in school life.
The researchers said they found,
after interviews with Republican
and Democratic state legislators,
that violence at San Francisco
State and other public schools
likely will result in legislation
placing criminal penalties on cam-
pus conduct deemed unacceptable.
"They feel it is a political im-
perative, notwithstanding the re-

terviewed that, realistically, there
'is nothing- the legislature c a n
produce that will give officials any
greater legal foundation t h a n
they already have for dealing with
conduct on the campus," the re-
port said.
It said it is unlikely appropria-
tions for education will be reduc-
ed. But it added that faculty sal-
aries will be vulnerable to attack
because of the feeling that teach-
ers who went out on strike acted
irresponsibly.
The report made this estimate
