Mrs. Elsie Glickert, 6712 Etzel, said she h~0ed the proceed aliatries were loi- nor because University City's st~ housing ~ have been crucial to pre- serving the c~unity and kee~ing it a __aes__irable place to live. Mr. Arnold Kendall, 6705 Crest, ag~e~_ with Mrs. Glickert, ~ing he was cer- tain the Plan O~..,,~-~ic~ o~sidered the suggested ohanges very carefully and would not ~end anything that would hurt the City. Ms. Jane Zeni, 1310 Midland Drive, said it sometimes ~as llot apparent how the phrasing of "fam{ll~' and '~ousebold" in city ~ my affect those who are not in a nuclear family.

He sa~d children would be enrolled in the School District who don't actually live here, or who are here only ~beca__use they have failed in another d~-~trict, or whoee caretakers have no vested interest in the schools. He felt the ~ laws were the foundation that has stabil- ized University City and its neighborhoods, and they should not be ohanged. Those who have characterized the laws as preventing blacks f~ moving into University City are wrcr~, and are diverting attantion ~ the real issue. felt this issue was of MT}~ g~ater importance and yet CozN3il is not spend- ing nearly the time on it that it n~arves. He felt or~e the c~ are ap- proved it will he very difficult to make the laws more restrictive.
