berg and Bush.
It seems likely at this time that
Huber House would be willing to
give up one of its floors to a re-
located Gomberg House.
Gomberg House President John
Mullen said that polls would be,
taken of Gomberg and Huber
House residents to see whether
such a solution were acceptable
at all.
Bush House president Barbara
Meyer said a similar solution would
be welcomed if Thronson Houses
were willing to give up one of its
floors to a relocated Bush House.
Another Afro-American and Af-
rican Cultural living unit has been
proposed for women in Stockwell
Hall. Feldkamp will be meeting
with residents of Stockwell to-
night to discuss the proposal.
After the details of implement-
ing the program have been worked
out by the Housing Office, the cul-
tural living units will face regental
review.
As the proposal stands, the gov-
erning of the cultural living unit

would be in the hands of the re-
cently-formed South Quad Minor-
ity Council, a representative body
of blacks in the dormitory.-.
The unit would be active in
"outreach" activities, Gill said, in
an attempt to foster black con-
sciousness and inter-racial com-
munication throughout S o u t h
Quad and throughout the Univer-
sity.
The cultural living unit would
also serve an important educa-
tional function, Gill says. There
would be a library of Afro-Ameri
can and African cultural material
in the living unit. The unit would
also offer counseling and tutorial
services.
It is unclear when the Regents
will act on the housing proposal.
Though the issue is not scheduled
for official consideration during
the Regents' meetings today and
tomorrow, several Regents said
they expect to spend some time
discussing it.
Most likely, the Regents will not
take action on the matter until at
least their March meetings. Feld-
kamp said a finalized proposal
could be drawn up by that time.
Most of the Regents contacted
yesterday declined comment on
the proposal, citing insufficient
knowledge on the subject.
Regent Paul Brown, (D-Petos-
key), however, said, "According to
my present inclinations it's okay
with me . . . If the blacks desire
it, I believe such a living arrange-
ment will relieve racial tensions
somewhat."
"In the long run, the program
might help to increase interracial
communication," Brown added,
"Blacks might develop pride and
cultural identity and perhaps then
would better be able. to cope with
white society."
Regent Gertrude Huebner (R-
Bloomfield Hills), expressed fears
that the proposal for a black cul-
tural living unit would "turn out
to be segregation, pure and sim-
ple."
She said, though, that it is "ab-
solutely necessary to maintain
peace" and that if no other "ra-
tional" solution to current racial
tensions were presented, she would
support the separate housing unit.
Regent Jamnes Waters (D-Mus-
kegon, the only black Regent,
chose not to comment on the pro-
posal, but said his final decision
would depend on "how many black
students are demanding it and
what problems they have encount-
ered under the present living sys-
tem."
He said he would like to spend
sqme time talking to black stu-
dents and finding out what their
grievances were.

a hard time," and he commented
that all he saw was a "let's put
kids together" attitude. His final
justification for his "no" vote was
that he "couldn't accept a lot of
shifting around of children."
After the defeat of the plan, Mc-
Pherson said "I've made my rec-
ommendations and it's been re-
jected . . . the next recommenda-
tion regarding boundaries must
come from the Board of Educa-
tion."
According to Good, with the
pairing plan defeated, "the present
course is the prevalence of the
status quo," which means the con-
tinued . crowding of Clinton ele-
mentary school. "Simply stated,
we've got a stupid board," Good
remarked.
Johnson described the defeat of
the pairing plan as "a tragic mis-
take," and he added that "the
representatives of 'the community
don't put their moralities where
their mouths are." Johnson feels
that "the district is becoming more
and more provincial in its think-
ing," and that "any gleam of in-
novation or creativity that was
once there, doesn't exist any
more."
After the defeat of McPherson's
plan, Carrington attempted un-.
successfuly to pass three alterna-
tive proposals.
Johnson declined his support of
any of the alternate proposals say-
I
ing that he felt it would "just con-
tinue the making of immorally
sound decisions." And he question-
ed the advantage of not standing
up for principles.
Johnson said the fate of the situ-
ation "will depend on the next
recommendation to the board."
