Page 4 Meade Heights Board Pushes New pet policy Charlie Holeczy Often I wondered what the Meade Heights Board of Governors did and of what their powers consisted. I attended the meeting at the New Birth on April 17. I found a disappointingly small group with only a strong interest in getting things moving cementing them together. Despite the size, the group had done much for Meade Heights and was planning other projects. The M.H.8.0.G. has proposed a pet policy which is getting final approval from the administration. If passed, the policy will be in effect next year. The proposed pet policy states that all pets must be registered and a payment of $35.00 for each pet, but the Financial Office will refund $30.00 Pets must be under control at all times and must be looked upon with favor by all members of the house. One final clause gives the University the right to restrict or remove a pet which violates the rules or is a nuisance to the environment The M.H.8.0.G. gives method to change any sufficient justification for the distasteful rules if people have a policy by submitting that as a little drive to speak up and to living community, Meade walk over to the New Birth to Heights should provide a realistic follow their ideas or complaints setting to give the students a to the end.

They plan to have games with prizes and some of the suggested games are an egg throw, potato sack race, wheel barrel race, three-legged race, and hoola hoops. Carmela Cannone is chairman and she does need help. The picnic is for you and only you can make it a success. A Rummage Sale for the students to make a little money before summer vacation or graduation will be held June 6, tentatively at 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon. The Board of Governors plans to have a dinner after the sale. The chairman is Phoebe and she also needs help. For next year, a food co-op has been researched and planned, Once again, they need interested people to make it work. The M.H.8.0.G. does have a great deal of power and is the local government for the area. The number of interested people is very disappointingly small for they usually sit back in their houses and scream only when they are affected by the University policies.

Urban Renewal Focused in Harrisburg by Rich O'Brien The first Urban Term seminar held on April 3 analyzed the current problems involved in the area of urban renewal in Harrisburg. It gave a broad view of the various programs which are in the planning process as well as those which are now being carried out. The problems of the relocation of flood victims, public housing codes were discussed along with possible solutions. Starting the seminar was Mr. Daniel Rodgers who gave a general analysis of the Harrisburg city government structure as well as a brief discription of the projects of various agencies. Two of the most relevant speakers were Mr. Bill Faust of the Dept. of Community Development and Mr. Dorsey Howard of the Harrisburg Redevelopment Agency, who discusses programs now in progress. Mr. Faust discussed his involvement in Harrisburg's "Master Plan" of urban renewal. This plan is an attempt to develop the overall face of Harrisburg. The "Master Plan" has begun demolition of structures in various blighted areas, and in its place is building low income housing both in the form of high rise apartments and town house complexes. Also the rehabilitation of substandard housing which is structurally sound but lacking good facilities for the annual fraternity spring picnic, which has been scheduled for Saturday, June 2 (rain date will be Sunday, June 3). The WATCHTOWER will provide the evenings entertainment and in case things get a little dull, Allentown Louie will be on hand to run through his world renowned magic act.

Masters, program chairman and associate professor social science announced that a series of case studies on government use of statistics to solve social problems will be discussed Thursday morning. A panel discussion on Improving Pennsylvania Statistics" will be held Thursday afternoon. Featured speaker at the Thursday luncheon meeting will be Dr. Fred C. Leone, Executive Director of the American Statistical Association. He will discuss "Statistical Techniques in the Analysis of Traffic Accidents." The activities will be staged from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the auditorium. 11Z13 is increasing a new area of housing for low income families. One major issue Mr. Faust discusses was the importance of community participation in the "Master Plan" decision making process. Without good community involvement in the planning of an urban development project, the program cannot succeed. Mr. Faust stated that in the past, this problem was often overlooked, resulting in the failure of the project since it was not design to the needs of the community. Physical planning for the betterment of a community is useless unless it also incorporates social planning. Mr. Howard, involved in the housing program in the Hamilton area, discribed the program as a viable example of good housing relocation. Relocation of low income families being displaced by development projects is a major problem in urban renewal, yet he feels the Hamilton program is tackling the problem systematically and successfully. He also discussed the use of private investment in the field of low income housing as illustrated by the Metro town house development. Also discussed were the problems of establishing good inner city education, mass urban transportation, the exodus of people from the city to the suburbs, and the human values in urban life.

Another Parking Problem Reliable sources at York College south of here maintain that students there are unhappy with the high cost of parking on campus, as Capitol students once were. Yet when Capitol students were paying that s7.so,they had a relatively decent parking lot. At York, those sources say, the lots, what few they are, are "lousy." Consequently, the York students have boycotted on-campus parking to an extent. They are parking in an off-campus area were a new housing development is being constructed. Reportedly, the resident of the development do not view highly the actions of the York students as the cars have clogged the area during the day.
