“The University and Urban Crisis” Presents Challenge to University Seattle University, situated between the downtown business complex and the “Central Area , is at the heart of the urban society. By virtue of its geographic location. Seattle University is in an opportune position to participate in the affairs of its neighbors. The University, thus, is better able to assess the problems of the urban society and to attempt to alleviate some of them. The University and its individual members —its administration. faculty, students and organizations—have considered these problems and have sought solutions to them. These problems encompass a gamut of crises which plague contemporary urban society. They range from the need for effective government to the tutoring of the deaf and the exceptional child; from the need for racial equality to the tutoring programs at the King County Jail; from the need for training the disadvantaged for gainful employment to the need for a reevaluation of the treatment and punishment of inmates in the state's institutions of correction; from the need for an education facility that would be of benefit to the entire community to the need for better communication among fellow men. These and other problems facing the urban society have created a bounty of programs at Seattle University which aid both the University and the community. Most recent of these programs has been the awarding of six four-year, full-tuition grants, the Seattle University Motivation Scholarships. These scholarships were presented through Jobs Now to students in the Central Area who have the ability and motivation to attend college, but who lack financial support. Directed by Fr. William Codd. S.J.. professor of education. Seattle University has been chosen to direct the Head Start Supplementary Training Program. The program’s major objective is to provide its members with professional placement through one of several programs, emphasizing medicine. nursing, social work, teaching and recreation. The New Careers Project, a program of the Office of Economic Opportunity, was under the direction of Dr. Ralph K. O'Brien, associate dean of the School of Education. A pilot project, it is the first of its kind in an American university to be subsidized by federal funds. Its goal is to educate and to train disadvantaged persons for para-professional employment. Guided by the Seattle Urban League's Operation Equality. Seattle University students have been active, on a volunteer basis, in seeking housing for Negro families in the Central Area. By offering a program to supplement school studies, the Peter Claver Tutoring Center extends a personal interest to the Central Area elementary and high school student. This program began in 1964 under the guidance and direction of Dr. Margaret Man,' Davies, associate professor of economics. Dr. Davies has also been elected president of the board of trustees of Lee House for senior citizens. Cadet teachers from the School of Education are given practical experience at both Pacific Prevocational School and at Garfield High School, both in the Central Area. This gives them an additional insight into the problems and conditions of the disadvantaged child. Mrs. Mary Margaret Ridge advises Anita Pearsall, Wilma lean Barnes and Olivia Shaw, three of six recipients of the new four-year Seattle University Motivation Scholarships. Dr. Robert Larson discusses the factors in interracial tension in his “Interracial Relations class during winter quarter. 5
