4. Universitv Dalvlv Kansan, January 17, 1985 Page 5 Reagan continued from p. 1 SPEAKES SAID Shultz had attributed the success of the Geneva mission to thorough preparation and presidential instructions that gave the U.S. team the freedom "to walk away from the table if we didn't get what we wanted." The United States gave in on one of the most contentious issues in the talks — the placement of Reagan's "Star Wars" missile-defense plan within the scope of any future negotiations. Reagan still rules out any limits on research. Reagan praised the "unity and the discipline" displayed in Geneva by a team of American officials, known over the preceding months for sharp disagreement and bureaucratic warfare over arms control policy. Speakes made a point of saying the United States had the "unanimous and solid backing" of its allies for the move, one in which Mr. Obama called on the strengths of our position with the Soviets. THERE WERE INDICATIONS, however, from Belgian Prime Minister Wilfried Martens that Belgium may delay the deployment in March of cruise missiles deemed by Marin to be a key factor in balancing pressure on the Soviets at the bargaining table. Martens was headed home yesterday evening after a U.S. visit that included almost two hours of talks with Reagan. Earlier in the day, Speaks said the United Belgians to keep to the development schedule Another White House official stressed there was "no panic" over the Belgian position. Black group's leader seeks Reagan's help By United Press International WASHINGTON — Despite a dismal past record, President Reagan could take a "handful of small steps" that would begin to heal the breach between blacks and the administration, the head of the National Urban League said yesterday. John Jacob, president of the black group, urged Reagan to support current civil rights legislation proposals in Congress, order a reappraisal of U.S. policy toward South Africa, instruct administration officials to "cool their rhetoric" on racial issue, order a moratorium on budget cuts in social programs for the poor and end the "shameful pattern of exclusion" of blacks from government. JACOB MADE HIS CALL in issuing the 10th annual "State of Black America" report, a group of scholarly papers by leading black academics on a variety of topics ranging from Jesse Jackson's resignation to the crisis in the black family. At a news conference, Jacob said the report painted "a grim picture" of the black reality, but he said that in 1984 there were hopeful signs as well. Near the top of the list of the good news, he said, was the "revival of the interracial, non-partisan movement for racial justice," including the release of the Equally significant, Jacob said, was Jesse Jackson's political campaign and the election of Rep. William Gray, D-Pa., to head the House Budget Committee. Roman Catholic bishops draft pastoral letter on the economy and the continuing protest campaign against South Africa. Most importantly, Jacob said, there is "a new spirit of concern within the black community" that suggests black Americans know where to place all of our government." "THIS DOES NOT signal any lessening of the responsibility of government or the private sector to assist in the building of a black America that is equal in every respect to the other sectors of society." Jacob said. "But it does signal that black America is not standing still waiting for others to come to its rescue." Writing in the preface to the 231-page report, Jacob said the Reagan administration had "made the shortcomings of other administrations seem minor." "Its record is deplorable and includes continuing attacks against affirmative action, the unwarranted entry of the Justice Department in civil rights cases in an effort to turn back the clock, efforts to grant tax exemption to schools that discriminate, (and) the transformation of the once independent U.S. Commission on Civil Rights into a rubber stamp for administration policy," he said. Hall addition project given $100,000 boost By PATRICIA SKALLA Staff Reporter Battenfield Hall, which has had no significant renovations since it was built in 1940, has received an extra $100,000 for an addition that housing officials promised residents last spring. "The site is so important, we will spend a little bit more." Wilson said yesterday. J. J.- Wilson, director of housing, said the hall would have $200,000 to build the addition rather than the $100,000 available when the expansion was first proposed. WILSON SAID THE architect's design, based on recommendations from residents and housing officials, indicated the addition of a large greenhouse than the $100,000 anticipated in the spring. Kirk Saffir, Battenfeld proctor, said the addition would have four study rooms, a laundry room and a bathroom. A walkway will connect it to the existing hall. Eric Roth, hall president, said, "They weren't going to tell us we could only have half of what we wanted." Joyce Cliff, assistant director of the office of residential programs, said construction of the addition would begin in April. The addition probably will be built by the beginning of the fall semester. Cliff said. Preliminary steps to prepare the site for the construction already have begun. A drainage ditch to direct run-off water away from the hall has been made, and trees have been removed from the lot. IN DECEMBER, WILSON and Kurt von Archen, architect for the project, reviewed plans for the addition with residents at the hall, Cliff said. Residents then learned that the hall would receive $200,000 for the project. Last spring, Cliff met with residents at the hall to inform them of the possibility of expansion and to get their recommendations on the addition. "We wanted to do what the guys thought would be important." Cliff said. A five-member committee of residents formed after the meeting with Cliff reviewed possible improvements. Dennis Enslinger, committee chairman, said that the committee proposed to the housing department that the addition include more housing for elderly and an extension to the kitchen. The housing department, after approving the hall committee's recommendations, hired the architect, who drew up the plans last fall, Cliff said. Emslinger said that although the residents felt that the overall plan for the hall improvements was good, they had hoped that a recreation room would be part of the addition. "We know there's not enough money for a recreation room so we're grateful for what we got," Ensinger said.
