Boyd defends UI quality,
stature
By
MARK
MITTELSTADT
A . . New. Editor
UI
President
Willard
Boyd Thunday
defended the quality of education at the
university and its national standings
among other major colleges and
universities .
In
his annual faU speech to
the
faculty
at
the Pharmacy Auditorium , he cited
several honors and achievements to
assure the faculty
of
the relative quality
of the University of Iowa
in
a general
sense.'
Boyd said his comments on the issue
were in response to several inqulries
from state legislatqrs and others who had
reacted to a survey published this spring
in
Change
magazine.
Re-printed in area newspapers, the
survey
ranked
colleges and
universities
across the country in several academic
areas.
The UJ was not
listed in
the
THE
rankings.
Boyd
told this
reporter after the speech
the survey aidn't really mean
anything
as
quality defies precise
measuremenl. He
said
academic areas
are too
nebulous
to be ranked.
Among the items Boyd cited to the
faculty included :
-Ratings
of
advanced instruction
and
scholarship by the American
Council
on
Education
which
placed
the Ul in the top
30
out
of
several hundred universities
across
the country
.
-A
high
number,
46, of
faculty
members on advisory panels of federal
departments and agencies. The Ul
ranked
15th
of
50
institutions surveyed,
despite
the UI being a smaUer
university than a majority of the
in
stitutions surveyed.
-Four GU8llenheim
FeUowships
at the
UI this year.
placing the UI among
the
top 24 institutions 'nationwide
in
numbers
of faculty receiving awards.
He also cited
the
Ul's Health Center as
the
nation's largest university-affiliated
health center, averaging 3,500 patients
daily
with
instruction of 5,358 students
daily
.
told faculty members, however,
that certain areas
in
the UJ needed
im
provement.
One
specific area
he
cited was time
aUotted
to
faculty members
to
carry out
individual research, coune
develop
ment , additional study and preparation
in new andoOr different fields
of
value
to
the UI.
He
pointed
out
that
this free
time
enables
faculty
members to
improve
individually and
to
achieve
inatitutlonal
educational objectives.
He
said Every effort must be made
to
mtrease the number of
developmental
assignments.
In ad,jjtion,
it will be
necessary
to
reallocate time and funds at depart
mental, collegiate and university
levels,
Boyd
said.
He
said this
reallocation would be primarily
In
faculty loads during specific
periods
of
time to
allow
instructors moR time for
the developmental assignments.
With
this, Boyd announced a
University House to serve

a
broker for people with ideas
who
want to
collaborate
with
colleagues outside their
departments and
coUeges who

similar interests. The body is to be
composed of representatives of the
Research Council, the Counell
on
Teaching and the collegiate deans to
allow for
peer evaluation, consultation
and review of new disciplinary and
interdisciplinary propoeals.
Boyd said the implementation of the
Univenlty fIouM concept will require
further time and study thiJ year, and
should be operational

Married
housing
tight
market stagnating
By
MARK COHEN
and
KRISJENSEN
Stair Writers
Marriage,
in
the eyes
of
many, is
merely a
one
-
word
term
for having
an
albatross around the neck .
In the
case
of the fight for
decent, low
cost housing
in
Iowa City, it appears that
this
wisdom
is true.
Married student housing
is
tight,
admits William Shanhouse, vice
president for
Administrative Services.
As a perspective on Shanhouse's com
ment,
it
should be noted he
considers
the
current situation in the dorms not a
crisis and insists there is sufficient
single housing available In the city .
Lewis Jones, G, director
of the
Protective Association
for
Tenants
(PAT) told The
DaDy
Iowan
that
two
bedroom
apartments -
those
rentals
which are essential to married students
with
children - are the fastest rentals to
be snapped
up
each
day
. They '
re
usually gone wilhin half
an
hour
, Jones
said .
In
this,
the second year of a serious off
campus housing crunch, Shanhouse
continues to advise married students who
have
not
secured housing to leave their
families home until proper living
arrangements
can be
secured
in Iowa
.
City.
Jones had few suggestions
for married
students seeking housing. He does advise
them to look
for housing
in
the outlying
districts.
The little housing that
is
acceptable to
married students and is still available,
can
only be found in
such
areas as
Hllls
and West Liberty, Jones' said, .
. He had no advice
for
students who
had
nlether
the transportation
nor financial
means to commute to the UI .
The current
PAT
rental
bulletin
,
pubUshed each Wednesday, listed only
two rentals suitable or a married
couple.
There
were
30
IIIt1D'S
Oil the bulletin.
According to Linda
Nelaon, a PAT
ltaffperlOll,
both Ustinlll were homes
offered by
the
Iowa
L8nd
Corporation
and were availabie only to a married
couple
.
Numerous
single students had
called
Iowa Land
about
the homes,
Nelson said.
A
random phone
survey
by the
OJ
of
the local
apartment complexes seemed
to
indicate
no
particular prejudice
against married couples .But many of the
married
couples
contacted
do
claim
to be
generally shut out when seeking
rooms
in multi-family
dwellings
rather
than complexes.
The
PAT
rental
bulletin
confirms that
a room or rooms
in
a
house
is the only
housing
possibility left in
Iilwa
City.
For married students seeking low-cost
housing
, the UI maintains
750
married
student housing units . According to
Shanhouse,
the
waiting list
is 35
students
long.
Over the summer,
12
WW
II
surplus
quonset huts,
used for
married student
housing
, located
in Templin
Park
on N.
Riverside Drive, were torn down by the
university.
Shanhouse explained the units had
originally been erected only
to house
married GI's returning
from
the war .
They were
slated
for demolition in the
early fifties , he added .
The
UI,
however,
continued to main
tain the units for its married student
population
.
Never
intended for per
manent use, the buildings eventually
deteriorated and were condemned.
Shanhouse
said
the
ur merely ran
out
of time to staU the demolition
of
the
units
. We
were
fortunate there
were
no
serious accidents there, he commented.
Both
Shanhouse
and Jones admit, that,
like a spouse, a
pet
Is also a
hindrance in
the fight
to secure
housing
In Iowa
City
.
The
overall housing picture here can be
described
in
one word : stagnant.
Nelson
reported
the
pattern at
PAT of
receiving
one
to three new rentals per
day and
a number
of
students
with

still, seeking roommates was
continuing

Group disputes electric hill hike
By LORI NEWTON
Staff
Writer
Citizens United for Responsible
Energy
(CURE) filed
a petition
of
in
tervention with the Iowa State Com
merce
Commission
last
week
stating that
tlfe
Iowa
Electric Light and Power
Company (IE) is
spending
money in
wasteful manners, resulting in
unreasonable
use of
its present in
come
.
Dan
Welch, a
CURE
member from
Cedar
Rapids, said
he was
motivated
to
do a study on the IE rate structure after
he was the only
person
to
a tend a
public
hearing
on
IE's latest rate increases last
April.
These increases will not affect Iowa
City
and Coralville areas,
but
will affect
some
400
other
Iowa
communities served
by
IE including Cedar Rapids,
Mt.
Vernon, Marion , Fairfield, Ames and
north of there, according
to
J .P.
McPortlend,
advertising director
of IE
.
I felt no one else
would
do the
job
,
Welch
said, so Idecided
to do
something
about it myself.
Welch
's study showed that
homeowners use
39
per cent of the
electricity produced, but end
up
paying
44
per cent of the bill. Heavy industry in
Cedar RapIds, however, uses
29
per cent
of
the electricity
but
pays
only 21
per cent
of
the total cost of production .
McPortlend refused
to
make any
comment on Welch 's study, and noted
that no other employees 1 IE
would
make any comment.
Welch said that when he confronted
employees of IE about the study all
he
received were no comments.
There is a lot of silence
in IE,
he
said . I
think
they 're afraid to talk
to
me '
The ~ t t o n also stated that the
proposed IE rale increases do
not
promote the
efficient,
wise
and
con
servative
use of our
nation 's resoUl'ces.
Welch
said
the
rate schedule
is
also
unfair to
smaU
businesses because they
too pay
a larger part
of
the total
production cost of electricity than what
they use.
Welch noted that these unfair costs also
affect farms served by IE . McPortlend
said that no one there has seen the
petition that was filed.
We heard
about
it through the news
media ,
he
said.
To
the best
of my
knowledge, no one here' has seen the
petition.
McPortlehd
saUi IE will file
a
petition
and
an appropriate response whenever
the Iowa Commerce Commission
requires it.
U ntil then, he said, There is
nothing
else
to
say.
The
petition is a legal
document and will be responded to
in
an
appropriate manner.
Pat Korsendorler, a spoke8person for
CURE from
Cedar Rapids, said that
expert testimony
is
needed in order to
have the rate restructured, and that
groups and individuals are now working
in the area to form a coalition to bring iJi
an expert.
In california, she said, an expert in
the field testified, and their rates were
restructured.
Korsendorler said there has been talk
of proposing a checkoOff system
on
utllity
bills. Under this system a
c\lStomer
would
have the option of paying an extra
dollar
which would go into
a consumer
group_
Such
a system is already in effect
in
Massachusetts and Vermont, she said.
Hopefully,
she
said, these funds
would help
\IS bring in an
exper.UD
-the
field to testify.
Korsendorfer said
it would
be nice
to
get funds from consumer advocacy, but
she'
feels
the this
is
imposible and the
checkoOff system would be the best
alternative.
If
an
expert
is
brought
In, Kor
sendorfer said, The IE proposed rate
increase may
be
denied and their rate
schedule revised.

Mail
rates
to rise
again
WASHINGTON
(AP)
- The Postal Rate Commission,
over
ruling the recommendation
of its administrative
law judge,
opened
the way Thursday
for
an
increase in the cost of mailing
a letter from 10cents to
13 cents.
The
postal Service
is expected to
raise
the
rate at a meeting
of
its board of governors Sept .
4.
The
higher rate could take effect 90 days after the
Postal Ser
vice
acts, making possible a Ikent rate for the
Christmas
mailing season
.
The
Postal Service already is printing Christmas stamps
and
for
the first time
they have
no
denomination
.
The
stamps will
be valid for the first-class postage rate in effect when they are
issued.
Postmaster General Benjamin
F.
Baiiar , in a statement,
declined comment
on
the
commission's
action . But he said he
was
pleased that
the process of
this rate case
is
finally over
after nearly two years
of
discussion and deliberation .
The commission approved
a pennanent rate
schedule sim
ilar to the temporary one
in
effect since March 1974.
It
rejected
the recommendations
of
its
administrative
law
judge, Seymour Wenner, who
said
last May, the
Postal
Ser
vice has become a tax-collecting agency,
collecting
money from
first-class mailers
to
distribute
to
other
favored
classes
of
mail."
Wenner proposed lowering first-class rates to
8.5
cents and
increasing sharply the rates
for
parcels,
magazines,
news
papers and book-club and record-club
mailings.

David Perret, 25, Tuesday

Perret, a fonner
UI
student, is the
first
candidate

a district council seat.
Carol deProsse, currently
serving
on the collnCiI, announ
ced Wednesday that
she
will
seek re-election, running for an
at-large seat on the
council.
Perret, a life-long Iowa City
resident, will nUl
for

has
been heightened
by
the
demolition of low rent units
near the
downtown
area and the
slower construction
of
replacements at
high
rent.
Perret said the city should
place increased
emphasiS
on
public
transportation, instead of
on
street-widenings
and arterial
street schemes.
U ban renewal
has been
stagnating since I've been in
grade school, Perret said.
Public confidence
in
the urban
renewal
developer is
not high;
questions about
its
DpeMess ,
financial soundness, motives
and ideas about
renewal
are
in
many peoples minds as well as
in
my
own.

in refugee resettlement
KANSAS
CITY (AP) - Fed

officials
charged
with re
settling 130,000 refugees from
Indochina ,
and hoping
to speed
up the process, talked Thursday
with
those
they
are
looking to
for help
in Iowa , Nebraska,
Kansas
and Missouri.
Iowa's employment security
commissioner called it a proc
ess of selling
one another
. Two
points which brought repeated
exchanges of insistence and
as
surance were that the refugees
not displace American workers
and that they not wind up on
welfare.
We
don
't
like welfare
in
Iowa,
we don

the Midwest, said Colleen
Shearer,
who
also is
Iowa's
coordinator for
resettlement.

Ana Riojas ,
refugee coordinator
for the Department
of

in the
four-state region, agreed with
both prem ises and
said:
These are dedicated people,

NOW '179
'Snob zoning'
underway
here
By
a
Staff Writer
A
coalition
of
Iowa City
residents and officials is
organizing a major "snob
zoning campaign
in the down
town area.
At
a Thursday
meeting of the
Iowa
City
Planning and Zoning
Commission
, a
group
of citizens
spoke in favor of are-zoning
which would drastically reduce
the future availability of
student
hOUSing
in Iowa City
.
The proposal seeks to re-zone
an
area from
(RJ) residential
and
apartment complexes"
to
(RJA )
which would
pennit
only
"single family occupancy. The
areas under consideration are
those
bordered
by Linn, Dodge,
Davenport and Ronalds Streets
plus
the
areas bordered
by
Gilbert
, Van Buren, Market and
Bloom i
ngton
Streets -
all
areas
which are close
to
the univer
sity .
Legislation in
other states
against
such anti-apartment.
anti ow income
zoning
have
been popularly
dubbed
an
ti-snob laws
.
Accord ng
to
Dr . Robert
Ogeson , Chairman of
the Plan
ning
and
Zoning
Commission,
the re-zoning would reduce
the
number
of
housing
units
available
in
the area
from
63
units per acre
to
14 units per
acre.
Ogeson said that the re-zoning
effort was Originated
by
the
Planning and Z o n i ~ Com-
mission itself, which
-
he said
.consists of just a group of
citizens
-
none
of
us paid.
We're
not city staff .
Ogeson
said that
the re-zoning
would
not
necessarily have
an adverse effect
on the
student
housing
situation in the city,
claiming that there are other
areas closer
to
,
downtown than
this
area
which could be
developed for student housing
.
Robert Jones, an
Iowa
City
property-owner and
fonner
resident of
the
area under cori
sideration,
opposes
the Plan
ning
and Zoning
Commission
's
proposal.
I speak
for local people
as
well as out of state people in
terested in
buying
property in
these areas to
help
reduce the
housing
shortage
in Iowa City,
Jones
said .
Jones said
he
took "45
people
and 60 days,
went
day to day
door
to
door
, and
did
my own
survey
of
the areas
in
Iowa City
that have
been
proposed for
RJA zoning
.
We made no phone calls, did
no picketing,
but we wrote
let
ters and sent out petitions .
However
, if
the
fonner
is
necessary,
we will
take
those
actions .
There
is more
than just
sun
shine
and
flowers
at stake
here
., Jones said .
Jones
did not
release the
results
of his
survey,
but
promised to
do
so at a future
meetmg .
Dr
. George
McCormack
, an
Associate
Professor
in Geology
at the UI, and a resident of 230
E.
Fairchild
St
., strongly
sup
ported the re-zoning.
"Do we want the
city
developers to have the land so
they
can
do to it what they
damn
well please, or do we want
people living
there
who will
maintain
the property .
If
the
re-zoning
isn't passed I'
ll
leave
town
, just
like everyone else
.
Jean Cater. of 314
Brown
and
the wife of VI Associate
Professor of Chemistry David
Cater,
also supported
the
re-zoning. I'm overwhelmed
by the opposition
,
she
said ,
and especially
with
the Jones
survey,
and
the number
of
people
that were
involved in
it.
"All
the
money my
husband
and
I
have is in our
house
and
our
children,
and we want
to
see
them grow up
there
, she
said
.

ourselves be ravished too?
Jonathan Penner of 225 E.

spoke out against the
re-zoning
proposal.
It only makes Sense to put in

are

If
you
prevent
people from
coming in
to the neighborhood,
which
is
what

, the
hOUSing shortage
for the
univer

will only
increase .

Kent State: A time to
remember;
a time to
mown
By CONNIE STEWART
Editorial Page Editor
Kent State. The memory
evokes tears.
sadness, outrage.
hatred . There are those
who
ask that it be forgotten. and those
who
demand
it be
remembered
.
The tumult. the shock and the fear that
was sweeping the
country in
May
1970 seems
distant
now; the dissident voices
silent.
Those
who are
undergrads
were
barely
in their
teens
when four students died
at
Kent, and when, 11 days
later,
two
more fell at
Jackson
State
.
The disbelief
that enveloped
the
Left.
the
students and
the
rational world must
be
incomptehensible to
those
who cannot
-or
will not -
remember.
The campuses across
the
country were flaming with in
dignation at the Cambodian invasion
.
Kent State students
had
been
demonstrating
steadily for
four days
. Ohio Gov .
James
A
Rhodes. fearful
of
"order" - and perhaps
of
his law-and-order
reputation
- called on
the National Guard
to "quiet"
his
cam
pus .
National Guardsmen
-
many of whom
had joined to
escape
the draft
and Vietnam; most
of whom had primarily played
war
games on weekends
-
were much like the
demonstrators
them
selves .
They were
young, inexperienced . alarmed at
the
mood of
the country . But with loaded weapons, and with orders that only
God
.
the officers
and Rhodes
were
aware
of. they
arrived
to
keep the
peace
or protect the
establishment
- depending on
each person
's biases.
Sunday . the
day before
the shootings,
relations between
the
guardsmen and the students seemed calm enough.almost
frien
dJy.
But
Monday
about
1,000
students
held a
rally on the
Com
mons . The guardsmen decreed that more than three students
talking on
campus would be
considered
a
conspiracy
,
and
the
situation became more tense.
After the rally about 600 students mC;lVed
away ,
followed by
about
100 guardsmen . The st4dents
began
to
encirle
the 1roops
after the guardsmen ran out of tear gas ,said Adj . Gen. Sylvester
Del
Corso.

and
rocks. some the
size
of
baseballs ,
were hurled
at
them
.
Then
Del
Corso said
a
sniper fired on them
-
though
no
such
sniper ever was found, and its existence was
hotly
disputed .The
guardsmen then defended themselves, said Brig
.

.
Robert
Canterbury
. another guard

the scene . Neither he
nor
anyone
else
admitted
giving
an order
to
fire .
But Gene Williams.
a reporter
on
the
scene for
the
student
paper. said
the
troops turned "in unison, as if responding to a
command "
and fired into
the
crowd
.
"I saw no snipers nor did I hear any shots
until
the
line
of
troops turned in unison and opened fire.

lay dead.
Nine students were wounded.
President Nixon
said: "This
reminds us
all once
again
that
when dissent turns
to
violence it invites tragedy ."
Many reactionaries in the nation
said the
"Commies"
got
what
was
coming
to
them.
But Scheuer was on her way
to a
speech therapy class
.
Krause
also
was heading
for
class,
but
had
simply
stopped to watch
.
Another victim was at the edge of the parking lot, watching .
Friends of
the dead
said
none
were "
hard core revolutionaries
."
But where the stUdents were
going
or
what
they were dOing
was suddenly unimportant
-
for they were dead
.
They had
become
symbols, martyrs, of dissention against the
war
and
the
system .
What
followed was almost
like
a spontaneous upheaval.
Over
100 demonstrations a
day
for the next four days broke out on
American campuses
;
at least
350
institutions went
on strike;
over
500 shut
down
completely for
a time .
Arguments over
who
was to blame, whether the guardsmen
had been
fired upon,why they were sent
there
atall.
or
why
they
were
there with loaded weapons dominated the country .
In
August of that year,
Nixon's
Presidential Commission on
Campus Unrest termed
the
shootings" nexcusable." But a
mon
th
later a
special
Ohio
grand jury exonerated the guardsmen
-
and
indicted
25
students
and
faculty members for
violation
of
riot
laws.Three were convicted, one acquitted ; charges
against
,the rest
were dropped.
A ew
months
later a federal judge ruled
that
the grand jury
had exceeded its authority
,and
ordered
its
report destroyed
.
Hope for justice surfaced in 1971, when the Justice
Depart
ment
investigated the incident at the direction of Atty. Gen
.
John Mitchell.
But
it ruled
that no
further
federal action was
required .

gain, in 1973,
a new probe
was instigated
by AUy. Gen.
Elliot
Richardson .
Eight
guardsmen
were indicted.
But a judge
dismissed the charges,
ruling the
government had
failed
to
prove
its
case.

So in
a last
effort to
fix

extract
an admission
of
guilt
from the
ofricers
and
politicians
involved, the
parents of
the
dead students , with the nine wounded, brought a civil damage

though
he
hates
to
think
of
it as
such. The
dean of the

, says he'd "

Voter
r e g i s t r ~ t i ? n
made easy
The Iowa General Assembly during its last
session enacted legislation
pertaining
to voter
registration
procedures . The
state lawmakers
had contended
that
the new regulations would
enable voter registration - an often inefficient
process - to become a more expedient one .
The Gen eral Ass em bly, notorious for its fair
share of inefficient processes, managed
to
make
voter registration an even more complex
procedure. With that distinct style legislators
definitely can call their own. they took a
relatively simple process and made it impossible
for even the brightest of county auditors to com
prehend.
A new section
of
the voter registration bill con
cerns
registration by mail. Though the bill was
considered by some to be a brilliant innovation.
the legislators tacked on a word that made it
rather worthless. The original
intent
was to have
citizens register by postcard through the mail-
a real convenience for people working 8 to
5.
But
the
lawmakers
decided to
require
an affidavit.
making it necessary for the working citizen to
pound the pavement
searching
for a notary .
In addition . the postcards
are
not a llowed
to be
dropped off at the
co
urthou
se:
they
must
be sent
through the mail.
We
all know postage costs.
and
the law require' ,he cards
to
be mailed .
In
effect.
the person registering ,by mail is paying eight
cents for the privilege
to
vo te . an odd sort of poll
tax that.
if
considere d as such, supposedly
would
be illegal.
The legislators also
made
no provision for
tem
porary 11)0bile registrars during an off
year elec
tion . This severely limits the
number
of people
empowered to register potential
voters
.
With the ' excessive amou nt of restrictions
placed on voter registration during a non-par
tisan election, it is no wonder that voter turnout
is
so
low
. In the future. before bemoaning a 40
per cent turnout. we ought to think twice before
calling it simple apathy .

City reconsidering
housing
priorities
Selichot Services
11l1li
at
gudasachim
By MARIA LAWLOR
Starr Wrltl r
City and Ul officials may join
together to
form
an ad hoc
committee
to
present data
reflecting the current housing
situation at the Board of
Regents meeting Sept. 9.
During
a
discussion of the
city's housing crisis at an in
formal
City Council
meeting
Thursday, council members
also
looked
into
t h ~ feasibility
of
changing the city's present
housing priority rating policy
a
policy which
does
not
favor
students for
low
-rent. sub
sidized housing .
The
city
policy has been to
give
low-income families,
the
elderly, and handicapped
persons
priority
for
low-rent ,
federally
subsidized
housing.
Several council members
suggested
that this
policy be
amended to include low-income
students.
After some discussion,
council
members said
they
felt
the university might also look
into changing its
parietal
rule
which requires
freshmen
and
sophomores under
21
to live in
UI
dormitories or other
university-approved
housing .
Thus
university
housing would
be
accessible to
low
-
income
students, council members
said.
The
council also suggested
that the university study the
possibility
of building more
housing
which is
compatible
with
the type of
housi ng
students are looking
for
today .
They
suggested building
housing
units
in
which students
could cook
their
own
meals.
Noting
the
rising
number
of
students
who
sign
up
(or
university dormitory housing
and
then
vacate
it
before the
end of the school
term,
Coun
cilwoman Penny Davidsen
sai
d
the
housing
crisis
was not due to
the availability of housing , but
to
high
costs
and the lack
of
the
kind of
housing that students
are
looking for.
Monday UI
Vice-President
William
Shanhouse
told council
members that Ul dormitories
were over-crowded at the
beginning of the 1974 fall
semester,
but by the middle of
the year the VI had 500 vacant
beds
.
At Thursday 's meeting City
Manager
Neal
Berlin said
the
city staff
will approach the
university about undertakmg
a
joint project
to
study the
houslng situation and possibly
forming some long -term
planning next week
when
the
two staffs
meet.
Several council mem bers
expressed interest
in
trying
to
find
out
Crom UI
officials what
initiatives they have taken to
meet the present housing
shortage.
Shanhouse also
told the
council Monday that
for
the
university to
build
more
student
housing at
this time "would
be
virtually
impossible
."
He said
state
law
requires
that such university housing be
self-sustaining
and must have
approval by a majority
of
the
State Legislature, the governor
and the Board of Regents . He
also said with
all
the people
involved in getting consent
for
such
construction
, he could
