Wednesday, May 14, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Wednesday, May 10, 1972 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Page Seven Head of Model Cities retained By JIM O'BRIEN City Council yesterday unanimously approved a mea- sure to retain Herbert Wingo as director of the Model Cities program, and to form a committee to delineate his and the program's policy board's responsibilities. The decision came in response to a recommendation for Wingo's dismissal, submitted to Council by the policy board. Ezra Rowry, the board's chairman, attributed the re- commendation to "irresponsibilities and negligence . . . insubordination." The Board's most important concern, Rowry stated, was Wingo's failure to submit the program's yearly plan of action to the Department of Housing and Urban Development on Soledad time. Mayor Robert Harris com- mented that the allegations "consist of Wingo's resistance to efforts by the Board to usurp the power of the director."

BLACK STUDENTS CENTER: Trotter House gutted b ire damage curtails activities By NANCY ROSENBAUM A center for black students was seriously damaged last Sun- day evening by a severe fire. The . University-owned Trotter House, located at the corner of East University Ave. and South University Ave., was converted into a black student center last fall. Under the direction of Dr. Charles Kidd, assistant vice- president for student services, the house was used to accom- modate meetings, lectures, and social events. It also provided counseling facilities and auxil- iary housing for black students. The fire was discovered at ap- proximately 7:10 p.m. by stu- dents -finishing an informal Sun- day dinner. The students smel- led smoke in the basement, and the building was evacuated im- mediately. An attempt to ex- tinguish the blaze with fire ex- tinguishers proved unsuccessful. A defective gas water heater in the basement is believed to have caused the fire, " which spread quickly upward through the rest of the house. Estimat- ed to be about 65 years old, the house had been constructed with- out fire stops, making it ex- tremely difficult to contain the blaze. The flames spread up through the rafters and became trapped in the attic. About 17 firemen with 5 pires of equipment, supervised by As- sistant Fire Chief Fred Schmid, extinguished the fire, which blazed for about an hour and a half. Two firemen were treated for excessive smoke inhalotion and another incurred a hind in- Jury.

Indians call By MARCIA ZOSLAW In a Diag scene last month, 20 juniors stood bowed in a line and allowed themselves to be doused with red brick dust. The new "redskins" were then duly in- itiated into the Michigamua hon- orary society. Although this ceremony has in the past been viewed as one of the campus rites of spring, this year it provoked a civil rights suit. A local Indian group filed a complaint Monday with the Mich- igan Civil Rights Commission, c h a r g i n g Michigamua with racism.
