Fair Housing Bi11l
Changes Passed
Final Vote Awaits Another Session;
Absences Give Democrats MajorityI
By JULIE FITZGERALD
Ann Arbor City Council last night passed the three controversial
amendments to the City's Fair Housing Ordinance on the first read-
ing. Council voted in favor of the amendments five to four along
party lines.
Republicans Mayor Cecil O. Creal and Councilman William E.
Bandemer, second ward, were absent from the meeting giving the
Democrats the majority.
The amendments, presented by First Ward Democratic Council-
woman Mrs. Eunice Burns, would extend the housing units covered
by the ordinance, prohibit discriminatory practices by real estate
agents and prevent retaliation against persons supporting the or-
dinance. The second and final reading on the amendments will
be taken at the council's first meeting after it confers with the
State Civil Rights Commission

RESTORE 'COMMUNITY OF SCHOLARS':
President Asks
Goodman Sees Students as Major Force For More Funds
For Racial Reforms in U.S. Education
The preliminary report of the
high-rise housing study being con-
ducted by Johnson, Johnson and
Roy, Inc., was presented to the
Ann Arbor City Council last night.
The proposal for a comprehen-
sive survey conducted by an out-
side business firm dealing with
the development of appropriate
zoning controls, and physical de-
sign standards for high-rise build-
ing in Ann Arbor was accepted by
the City Council early this year.
Considering the central business
district as basically a University
community, the report asserts that
the greatest housing demand is
created by students attending the
University.
"If present trends continue, by
1975 we can expect a range of
between 5500 and 7500 more peo-
ple to be seeking a place within a
short distance of the central cam-
pus . ." The expected demand for
high-rise housing structures adja-
cent to the campus and central
business district would then be
well in excess of the developable
land capacity.
As a solution to the demand for
high density housing, the report
emphasizes the importance of
prime and secondary fringe areas
with the establishment of special
districts for height density resi-
dential development.
The value of these areas would
be to allow for the distribution of
high density development within
walking distance of the central
business district and the campus
to prevent excessive development
in the central area. This policy of
selective density would create a
"checkerboard variety" of low den-
sity, medium density, and high
density zones which would be com-
plementary to the city's present
skyline.
To solve the parking dilemma
created by high density housing,
the report recommends a three-
fold approach; primary parking
within the housing site boundar-
es, secondary parking located near
the residential development, and
fringe parking basically providing
automobile storage aras in an
outlying district.
Other recommendations contain-
ed in the report include: increas-
ing maximum floor area in ratio
to size of lot area, establishing
premiums for desirable develop-
ment' such as open plazas, ar-
cades, parking decks, and recrea-
tional facilities, and creating min-
imum set-back above the secone
story on all high-rise develop-
ments.
Second Dean
Leaves Post
A rapidly growing controversy
over morality at Stanford Univer-
sity has resulted in the resigna-
tion of the associate dean of wom-
en, three days after Women's Dean
Lucille A. Allen gave uppiher post.
The resignations came in the
wake of student charges that some
deans used undue influence in dis-
ciplinary cases and that one dean
believed some young professors
used literature in an attempt to
seduce coeds.
Miss Bonnie Fitzwater submit-
ted her resignation yesterday be-
cause "an unjust and sensation-
al attack by a small group of stu-
dents has resulted in the abro-
gation of the rights of officers
of the university," she said.
Meanwhile, a faculty committee
refused to make public the results
of an investigation into student
charges that Dean Allen, among
others, tried to pressure members
of the Student Judicial Council in
the handling of disciplinary cases.
Also at issue was the student
allegation that Dean Allen tried
without success to enlist co-eds
to monitor freshman English
of discrimination in city housing
with the passage of the amend-
ments."

Burns Proposal
She proposed a three-point pro-
gram which includes the passage
of the amendments, the seeking
of specific ways which the state
CRC can help the city and the
stepping-up of the community re-
lations program sponsored by the
city's Human Relations Commis-
sion.
In opposition to Mrs. Burns,
First Ward Councilman O. Wil-
liam Habel said the ordinance
should include the state article to
give complete coverage and that
the council will be able to discuss
it with the state CRC.
He also commented that he
doesn't believe the amendments
"would work" because Municipal
Couit Judge Francis O'Brien
would not accept any discrimina-
tory housing cases in his court
and the ordinance is presently up
for hearing in Washtenaw Cir-
cuit Court.
Last spring O'Brien ruled the
ordinance unconstitutional be-
cause the state preempts locali-
ties in the field of civil rights
under the new state constitution.
City Attorney Jacob Fahrner is
appealing that decision.
Doesn't Believe
Fahrner said he doesn't believe
the constitutional language covers
anything and needs legislative ac-
tion behind it. He added that if
the words of the policy have the
power to create legal protection,
then he would agree with Habel.
With the Circuit Court accept-
ance of the appeal of the ordi-
nance, the ordinance can be
amended regardless of the former
decision on its unconstitutionality.
Third ward Republican Coun-
cilman Paul Johnson said it was
council's duty to pass laws which
can be enforced and the passage
of the admendments would mis-
lead people who think they will
give them additional coverage.

Expansion Plans in Conflict
With Governor's Recommendations
By LEONARD PRATT and BRUCE WASSERSTEIN
Special To The Daily
FLINT-"The University's branch at Flint will admit a
freshman class this fall," University President Harlan H.
Hatcher said last night. .
Fears had been expressed that the branch would not ad-
mit freshmen this fall because of Gov. George Romney's fail-
ure to recommend funds for the expansion.
Earlier in his statement Hatcher noted that, "One
thing that is required (for Flint's expansion) is that the Leg-

gave no comment when asked
where funds would come from
if the Legislature did not re-
store Flint's appropriation to
the budget.
Hatcher made his statements
at a joint meeting of the Flint
Board of Education and the Uni-
versity's Board of Regents in
Flint last night.
These statements of Univer-
sity policy could precipitate a
clash with Gov. Romney.
Romney's Position
Yesterday, Romney noted that
if the state colleges do not coop-
erate in the creation of a state
plan for higher education they
may face "highly centralized
methods of control."
Romney has advised against the
University's expansion in Flint
until the State Board of Educa-
tion can develop a state expan-
sion plan.
The governor said the colleges'
refusal to cooperate could be re-
flected in gubernatorial' budget
recommendations and legislative
appropriations. He also threat-
ened expansion of the Board of
Education's powers to include en-
forced coordination as well as its
present advisory power.
Coordination would ease bane-
ful intercollege competition, Rom-
ney said, "And if you think there's,
competition now wait until they
start building branches in earn-
est."
Wait and See
"Either we're going to expand
our education system one way
through new schools, or another
way through branches.
"Before the' expansonl takes
place," he said, "we must decide
which it is going to be."
Hatcher accused the state budg-
et office of "questioning the judg-
ment of the University and the
Flint community" in deleting the
request for Flint's expansion from
the University's appropriation re-
quest for next year.
"This was done," he said, "while
at the same time generous provi-
sions were being made for ex-
panding freshman classes at the
other nine state universities and
the budget office likewise being
apologetic for the inadequacy of
their recommendations."
Inconsistency
"It seems to me to be an abso-
lute inconsistency for the leader-
ship of this state to say . . . that
'the University should not engage
in this educational enterprise here
on its own campus; and that these
students must wait until some in-
definite future when some yet un-
defined board makes some yet un-
defined news survey to indicate
whether or not this is a proper
way of educating the young peo-
ple who will be. too old to be edu-
cated by the time all these things
are in," he concluded.
In his speech at the meeting,

'U' Needs Bond
Or Tax Bill,
Ferency Says
By ROBERT HIPPLER
The Legislature must approve
new sources of revenue-through
either a fiscal reform plan or a
bonding program for the higher
education 'capital outlay-if it is
to restore any part of the cuts
Gov. George Romney made from
the University's budget request,
according to State Democratic
Chairman Zolton A. Ferency.
In a telephone conversation last
night, Ferency speculated that
University President Harlan
Hatcher's speech at Flint -- in
which he announced that the Utni-
versity will continueits 'Flint ex-
pansion next year whether or not
it gets funds from the state to do
so-will have negligible effect on
the University's chances for get-
ting more money. "This is another
view injected into an already
many-sided argument," he said.
"The legislators canniot take
money from one university and
give it to another and improve the
overall educational situation,"
Ferency - said. "It would have to
do this were it to give the Uni-
versity more money without added
revenue.
Ferency, who has termed Rom-
ney's budget recommendations
"inadequate," pointed out that the
immediate urgency of building
higher education faclities for the
University must overrule the ex-
pense of the interest charges
which would accrue were the Leg-
islature to pass a bond issue. He
added that there is some support
in the Legislature for such an
issue-which could provide up to
$50 million in funds for school
buildings.
The only other way the Legis-
lature can provide more revenue
is by passing a fiscal reform pro-
gram so the state can dip into
its cumulative surplus this year
without going into debt next year,
Ferency said. Democrats have
criticized Romney recently for
"throwing the ball to the Legis-
lature" in expecting it to initiate

GC had passed a motion urging the Housing Office to bring

students to sign individual leases, making them responsible
