Housing problems confront urban blacks
By EDDIE WILLIAMS III Staff Reporter
The biggest problem blocks face in major cities today is lack of control, Roger Pullman, director of the Center for American Security University of Chicago, said last night.
Pulliam spoke in the Big Eight room of the Kansas Union as part of the African studies lecture series.
"We are not in total control of our cities politically, economically or socially," said the 38-year-old black man.
Blacks concentrate too much on what the major companies are doing in black communities rather than on what their financial contribution is. Pallium said
In most large cities blacks make up the majority of the inner city population, but are losing control of ownership. Pallium said.
Whites are returning to the fringe areas of the inner cities because of the energy shortage, Pullam said.
"No where will the problem of 'no housing' of the 1980s be more evident than in the quality of homes offered to the black population," he said. "We
should recall that the vision of the good life in America is suppose to be intertwined with the ownership of single family homes."
However, Pulliam said, only two-fifths of blacks own their homes compared to two-thirds of whites.
"The task for black Americans is now to gain economic parity with their white counterparts," he said.
A lot of that responsibility, Pallium said, lies with the black middle-class. They have the education and the skills to help the black community.
He said, however, that the black middle-class has existed since about 100. This group used to consist of doctors, dentists and educators, but consists of his collar workers, businessmen and people in managerial positions.
Blackes are in positions they have
them. They don't want to be dealt with,
and they are really afraid to deal with
Meanwhile, the gap between the middle-class and the poor is widest.
The existence of the black middle-class is not widely known to Americans, he said, because conversation about blacks usually centered on the poor.

The median salary of blacks in 1977, which are the latest figures available, was 49,500-57 percent of the median salary for whites, he said.

Mount Bleu won't open; some roads closed, too
Despite this week's snowfall, Kansas 'only ski resort is still out of business. And it will probably stay a way, no matter how much snow falls.
Mount Bleu, which called itself Kansas' only ski resort when it was in operation, has been forced to close because of a terrible economy and the strict rates. Ruthie Repp, wife of the former manager, said lastnight.
Fred Lutz of Kansas City, Kan,
owner of the land, said the mountain
would go unused until someone
Last year Mount Bleu offered cross country skiing, but this year the Rapps said they could not afford to run the resort by themselves. Repairing the downhill slopes and the skirts would be too expensive.

Not only is Mount Bleu having problems, but Kansas highways are also having problems. The snow caused accidents and road closings and brought with it sub-zero temperatures.

The Kansas Highway Patrol said winds of up to 45 mph forced the closings of many roads in southeastern Kansas Tuesday night and early yesterday to roadside. To keep up with the drifting snow, but when the winds died down, most routes were passable.
