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.

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. (Continued from Page 1) 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." iheres ihru Classified TV & Stereo Rentals $10.00 per month NO DEPOSIT FREE DELIVERY, PICK UP AND SERVICE CALL: NEJAC TV RENTALS 662-5671 Subscribe to The Michigan Daily t: 0 Order FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18th Your 01 I Subscribe to The Michigan Daily m qI, CONFERENCE ON AND RELIGION WEDNESDAY-SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16-20 Women's Art Show, at the Student Gallery, 1 st Floor, Michigan Union THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17-8 P.M.
