Schramm . .
Eyster said that his study
also relied heavily on research
done by Dr. Joseph Katz in his
book No Time for Youth, a
four-year in-depth study of
American campus life.
"From this research it
became evident that socially
segregated dorms tend to
discourage male-female rela
tionships based on the personal
qualities of the individuals,"
Eyster said. "This type of liv-
ing situation tends to play up
the practice of looking at peo
ple as sex objects."
"What we are trying to do,
then, is provide individuals a
chance to drop their facade
without being hurt or ridicul
ed," he said.
Eyster said that the
Schramm proposal is only one
of many residence possibilities
that will allow the kind of
personal and social rela
tionships many people desire.

Miller and his wife, Kathie,
a white girl, were married in
1966 in Cincinatti, Ohio.
"You're never really aware
of color when you're with the
other person," Miller said.
"When we're among strangers,
however, we do get a reac
tion." "We got a tremendous reac
tion at the movie, 'Guess Who's
Coming to Dinner,' " Miller
recalled.
"The black movement today
is so intense that sometimes
it's hard for me to reconcile my
marriage," Miller said.
"Neither my wife or I have
regretted marrying inter
racially." Miller said his wife is ac
cepted by the black communi
ty. "We worry about the day
when Erik will be going to
school," Miller said. "We're
trying to provide him with a
color strength."
Miscegenation may be the
ultimate thing in making peo
ple all the same color, Miller
said, but "as for solving all
racial problems there must be
complete understanding."
Dating interracially because
it's the thing to do is un
fortunate, Miller contended.
Couples who marry inter
racially should love and un
derstand each other complete
ly."
"If you're really concerned
about what rteoDle think and
becoming a success materially,
don't marry interracially,"
Mil'er advised.
Father Ken Vavrina of
Sacred Heart church challeng
ed the group with his question,
"How many of you have the
courage to challenge another
white kid when he says nig
ger?" "It won't make you any
friends," Vavrina said, "but,
hey baby, this is conviction."
"None of you can imagine the
desperation of being a young
black person with no hope," he
said. Blacks, even those who
have graduated from high
school, are at least two years
behind whites scholastically,
Vavrina said.
"The church is now a
restroom a place where
people can relieve themselves
of their anxieties and have 45
minutes of peace," Vavrina
said.
Instead, the church should be
a health spa, he said, a place to
build up strength and find
dynamism to cope wity the
issues of today.
Vavrina said progress was
being made, but "it is painfu'ly
slow. I think that if it had not
been for organized protest, the
black man would still be shin
ing shoes," he said.
Violence is not the answer,
Vavrina remarked. "Riots are
not racial protest. The looting
and killing is only a
repercussion of frustration. All
it causes is an immediate
backlash."
Student reaction to the live-In
was characterized by confusion
and inability to significantly
remedy the situation in the
white community.
Howard Rosenberg,
freshman, explained that he
experienced a sense of futility
when he visited a shop on 24th
street. "I knew they really
didn't want me there."
"It's no longer a time to
philosophize in our ivory
towers," Rosenberg com
mented. "It's a time to work.
"You look at the kids and you
know you're not enough."
Dave Moore, senior, said, "I
still feel an incompetence to
understand what is really hap
pening. I feel insignificant I
know so little maybe I
should start trying."
"One thing I can do in my
own clique is to cast an evil eye
on overt racism," Moore said.
"I've got to get people to see
that this isn't right."
