SPECIAL REPORT
Urban Renewal Saddens Troy Neighbors
Ry STEVE HARVEY
Harry Charles was asked about urban renewal. “Wait a minute,” he said and went to the back of his store at 3400 Vermont Ave. The name of it is Berrat's Discount Shoe Store. This is the type of area that has a lot of discount stores and that is why it is going to be cleared and rebuilt.
“Here look at this,” he said, pointing to a map in a newspaper. It was a map of the area around USC and it was marked off so you could tell what was going to happen to the area around USC.
“See, we are right here. The school is supposed to get this land.
“Do you think urban renewal will come soon?” he was asked.
“Not too soon. Maybe five years. I don't know though.”
He began to read from thc newspaper.
" ‘The first building is scheduled to be built by the end of 1966'.” he read.
"Where will you go then?” he was asked.
“There's rumors that there is going to be a shopping center around here. But I don't know.”
Harry Charles is no different than most of the merchants in the area. They don’t know either. Most of them have read something in the papers about what’s supposed to happen to them. But these are just words written in newspapers.
No one has told them anything personally. And somehow the whole thing seems detached from them, somewhere far off in the distance and they are all just a little bewildered.
(This urban renewal pertaining to the Hoover Redevolpment Plan, which received the required City Council approval in December, 1965 and which will comprise 160 acres. USC will acquire 57 acres and construct new buildings dorms, and parking lots. The remainder will be used for private low-cost housing such as motels and apartment building.
(The Hoover Redevelopment Project is the culmination of the original Hoover Plan which asked for only 12.7 acres west of Vermont Avenue for low-cost housing. The plan will be financed by a loan from the Federal Housing Agency.)
“Nobody seems to know,” Dave Morgan, the manager of Dixon Bell Press. 674 Jefferson, was saying the other day. “Nobody knows when or what is going to happen. We haven’t heard anything at all.”
“So you’re not making any plans to move?” he was asked.
“No, we’ve just been purchased by another corporation but we’ll still be run separately like we are now. And we’ll stay here.”
Some of them are bitter.
“See this roof? said Syd Maraine at the Brooklyn TV Co., 3566 Vermont Ave., “I could have fixed it three
years ago. It leaks. But you hate to put money into the place if you know you’re going to lose it.”
He had stopped working on the television set he was fixing and he talked fast because he wanted to get back to work and get his visitor the hell out of there. You have to work hard to make a living in this area. You don’t have much time to chat with noncustomers. (“You want just a couple of things, okay. But you want me to talk a long time. I don’t have the time.’ )
“I’ve been here for 21 years. This talk has been going on four roughly eight years. I don’t know what is happening. I wish I knew what the hell was going on. It’s always the small merchant that suffers. The big guys get out. Ralphs, they moved out from here a couple of years ago.”
“Urban renewal, urban x’enewal,” repeated William Libling at the Blue Bird Liquor Store, 3431 Vermont. He was almost shouting. “I don’t know anything about urban renewal. I want to stay in business here. If they push me out. they ruin me. I could have sold the place for $65,000 three years ago. You with urban renewal?” “No, I'm just a student,” I said.
“Oh, a student. I see.” He was much calmer now. “There’s so much talk I don’t know. They told me that maybe there would be a shopping center if I come back in one year. I went to a couple of meetings. They asked me to sign an application saying I want to come back and I did.”
“How long do you think it will take?” he was asked.
“Four or five years. I don't know. What do you think?”
This is it. This is the way it is with a lot of merchants around LTSC. “What do you think?” they ask because they don’t know themselves.
This is what Harry Goldstein asked inside hi? place of work at 3548 Vermont. It is impossible to discern exactly what the name of his place is because there is writing on nearly every square inch of the front of the building. After much study it is possible to narrow the choice down to two: The Big Store and The Pawn Shop.
“I don’t know when urban renewal is coming/' he said. “What do you think?”
I was going to answer that I was just a student but he kept on talking. He was filling out pawn tickets and he never locked up. “I don't even care when it comes. But when it does I'm going out of business. I've got three and a half years left on my lease and my landlord won't let me off. No. it can't come too soon for me.”
At Curries, on the corner of Hoover and Jefferson. Lou Brubaker, the owner, was not talking about how glad he would be to move. He was talking about his 31 years there. He says he was the first to sign up for (Continued on Page 2)

Creativity is the key to Songfest and creativity is the key to Dean of Women Joan Schaefer. Therefore, it is appropriate that Mrs. Schaefer should be selected to serve as the first woman host of Songfest on May 14.
“I love to think of Songfest in the context of a freely-formed. creative performance,” she said.
“Songfest is sompthing that grows from the students themselves and from their own creative ideas. Songfest is the exciting essence of student life, as long as it remains student-created.
>Ior»» Creative “This year's production promises to be much more creative than in the pasi and I am therefore very pleased that I was selected to host.” she said.
‘Personally and professionally, life for me is working with students, to give them the most creative life possible intellectually, aca demically and socially."

unifying kind of tradition that is meaningful to the students' sense of identification."
Dean Schaefer expressed her wish that Songfest could be entirely student-centered, "without the Hollywood connotation," because of the number of talented students the university has.
Revive Custom
Singing expresses great joy. and Songfest helps to revive the custom of singing, "a lost art to some Americans." she said.
She is particularly thrilled to be asked by the students to be a part of their show, she added, "because the purpose and philosophy of my profession is bound up in working, living, hoping, planning. and striving with students."
