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. The students can
greater experience in living in make this environment as they
such a community. desire, it just takes a little time
During the Rights of Springs and a little painless effort.

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

renowned magic act. Keep up the
good work, Allentown. All frat

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.
