Page Ten Blacks call Regents' dorm decision racist (Continued from Page 3) ing academic, counseling, and living problems for minority groups on campus. When the Regents rejected the housing proposal they authorized such -an investigation. According to committee mem- ber Charles Kidd. assistant vice president for student services, the group has been developing "skeletonized views" for a viable alternative to the rejected hous- ing proposal. "Hopefully, those of us on the committee are going to make sure that this is Cot just a procrastinating restudy of the problem," said Georgia Wil- liams, another committee mem- ber, assistant director of special programs for University housing. Williams declared that the problem of minority adjustment on campus has been studied be- fore and that the Afro-American housing proposal was created in response to needs already in- dicated. "I think you have black students feeling that the Re- gents didn't act in good faith," she said yesterday and called complaint procedure "an appro- priate step to take." She said that a court decision might set a precedent for minority student housing with the Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment. University legal advisor Rod- erick Daane said previously that the University will make no re- sponse to the complaint until confronted by the Commission and commented that "the com- mission's procedure is even slow- er than the court's." However, Gill asserted that the Commission had already -'ompleted the bulk of its inves- tigations when it decided to en- dorse the proposal during earlier discussion on the issue. Besides probable court action, Gill said there will be continued demonstrations by blacks such as the disruption at the last Regents' meeting to dramatize the question. Since he became active on the proposal, Gill charges he has been harassed by the University for everything from parking tickets to my classes." Asked his opinion on the up- coming suit, Regent James Waters (D-Muskegon), who had voted in favor of the proposal, said the plaintiffs "have no legal or constitutional grounds" for calling the decision racist since the proposal was rejected on the grounds of segregation. Regent Robert Neederlander (D-Detroit) said yesterday that there was "no feasible way of approving the proposals since bving segregation would vio- late the laws of Michigan." ,orea 411 tt' pic *ma^op' 1 AUSTIN DIAMOND 1209 S.
