ouncil OK's roller rink The Michigan Daily-Tuesd y, September 20, 1977-Page 9 construction By JULIE ROVNER City Council split exactly down party , lines last night and gave the Republi- cans a one-vote victory in approving a highly controversial site plan for a pro- posed roller skating rink. The rink is to be located in a triangle of land surrounded by Washtenaw Ave., Platt Rd. and Huron Parkway. THE CONTROVERSY arose over citizen complaints about traffic safety at the intersection of Platt and Huron Parkway. "It's a bad situation," said Mary Fer- guson, who lives near the intersection. "There are stop signs, but people are always running them. Three times I've had people run their cars up onto my lawn. The added traffic from the rink would make things even worse." "There has been no planning and no concern for the people in this area," said Doug Anderson, who also lives in the immediate area. "They've really just dumped this thing on us.' THE ORIGINAL resolution was amended during the course of heated council debate to stipulate that the rink's access would be from Huron Parkway, and not the more crowded Platt Rd.,Also amended into the resolu- tion was the stipulation that the inter- section of Platt and Huron be re-de- signed and re-constructed during the next building season. Much of the debate centered over whether or not Platt Rd. was really over-used. The city installed counters for a week to measure the traffic, and determined that the roads could sup- port the extra traffic. The group of people at the meeting said, however, that they had stationed themselves at the corner over the past few days and had gotten much higher figures. WHILE THE CITIZENS stressed that Carter pushes affirmative action they were not opposed to.the roller rink as such, they did have other worries besides traffic. "The juvenile detention facility is right across the street, and when you get a bunch of kids with a belly full of cheap wine and a head full of pot, and they realize that'their friend is right across the street, then you're really asking for a sock in the nose," said Anderson. "I'm really sorry about all the controversy,"said Bill Willits, one of the owners of the property, "but we've chatted with them (the mem- bers of the surrounding communi- ties) and I think we've alleviated a lot of the concerns." Earlier, in a special session, Council failed to override Mayor Wheeler's veto concerning $35,000 of CDBG funds which was to be allocated to a public housing tenant's organization to provide services for those living in the city's public housing. The session turned into a name-calling match, with Council- man Wendell Allen '(R-1st ward), charging the mayor with nepotism because the mayor's daughter is a lawyer with the model cities pro- gram, a program Wheeler pushed for CDBG funding.

(Continued from Page 1 admissions program deprived him of his constitutional rights. He said he would have been admitted if the special program had not allowed students with lower academic qualifi- cations to be accepted ahead of him. The state court ruled that the 14th Amendment, insuring equal treatment to all citizens, prevented the school from making race a factor in admis- sions. It said the amendment was vio- lated by the program which reserved for minority students 16 of the 100 places in each year's entering class. THE JUSTICE Department's posi- tion, except for its briefly mentioned opposition to inflexible quotas in such programs, followed closely the reasoning of the National Conference of Black Lawyers, one of more than 160 organizations and individuals to file friend-of-the-court briefs in the case. "We think the government's brief in its present form is acceptable," said Victor Goode of the black lawyers group. "It's much better than we first had been led to believe." Other lawyers said they wanted to read the brief before commenting. Ac- tually, the thrust of the Justice Depart- ment brief was the product of much in- ternal debate and revision in the past several weeks. PRESIDENT CARTER was asked for his views after the issue was seen as a political as well as a legal one. "It is appropriate to take race into account to adjust for differences in cre- dentials that may have been caused by disc rimination but do not reflect dif- ferences in ability to succeed or in abil- ity to contribute to the medical profes- sion and the health of the general popu- lation," the brief said. In a broader policy statement, the ad- ministration said: "ALTHOUGH WE HAVE made progress in eliminating discrimination case-by-case, the major civil rights laws have been effective for little more than a decade. The pervasive effects of past discrimination remain with us. The vast majority of our 'racial and language minorities remain poorer and less educated, suffer greater unemploy- ment, and are less able to influence the forces - economic, social and political - that bear upon their lives than is the white majority. "To the extent we are still a nation of 'haves' and have-nots' the dividing line is in part a function of race," the gov- ernment brief said.
