near future. Given federal budget cuts and the nation’s
deficit, Norman will probably not receive any more
funds for public housing for some time."
So again, it comes down to the rezoning of a live-
acre tract for 38 units of public housing authorized by
the Norman Public Housing Authority.
by ALDEN BROWN
Today, Norman citizen’s will decide the luture ot
Norman's Housing Authority.
What began as a zoning controversy over a 5-acre
tract of land near the Brookhaven area, has climaxed
into a heavily polarized east/west question on the
Norman Housing Authority’s future.
"It is an east west issue,” Norman Housing Execu-
tive Director Duane Blanton said. "The east side
residents want public housing on the west side ot
Norman as well as the east side. And they should.
Public housing should be distributed throughout the
city.”
The election’s result will either halt all luture hous-
ing projects by (he Norman Housing Authority or
allow the authority to continue planning future
projects.
The area manager for Housing and Urban Develop-
ment, William Stephens, said, "The only future pro-
jects planned right now by the Norman Housing Au-
thority are (he 38 units at Brookhaven.”
And the opposition to the placement of those 38
units has led City Councilwoman Joyce Carr to call the
election an attempt by a small minority on one side of
town, the Brookhaven Home Owners Association, to
ZANESY 11 1 E, Ohio (AP) - A Greyhound sinker
was run over and killed Monday when a group ot
pickets swarmed a bus being used to train replacement
drivers as it slowed for a stop sign. Authorities said
thev didn't know whether the driver would be charged.
Grevhound officials, meanwhile, said al headquar-
ters near Phoenix, Ariz., that they expect then buses to
be back in lull operation by Dec. 21 or 22 it union
Workers accept a new contract proposal. Results ot the
voting are expected to be announced Dec. 20. Grey-
hound spokesman Don Behnke said.
1 The dead man was identified by the Stale Highway
tairol as Raymond Phillips, 42, Willoughby, a mem-
ber of Amalgamated Transit Union l ocal 1043 of
Cleveland.
Slate Patrol Capt. Warren Davies identified the bus
driver as l ew is A. Harris, 28, of Cleveland.
"W e are investigating whether there will be charges.
We don’t know vet,” Davies said.
The incident occurred about 8:30 a.m. al an inter-
section just off Interstate 70 in east central Ohio,
where Greyhound has been using four unmarked buses
to train drivers. W ilnesses said a group ot more than
50 protesters had gathered around the moving bus as it
slowed for a stop sign.
"I had a good view, and saw exactly what hap-
pened," said Gary Kuntz, 33, manager of a service
station at the intersection.

And whether a yes vote, halting future Bousing
Authority projects, will stop the building ot the 38
units still depends on a district court judge s opinion.
That opinion, ruling whether the controversial .8
units are part of an existing project and excluded from
a limit placed on future projects, was postponed Mon-
day until Jan. 9.1984. .||
And after that opinion is delivered, there is still
another election. A question asking tor the reversal ot
the rezoning ot the land lor the 38 units will be asked
in a citywide election the third week ot March, 1984.
That question was called lor by the Brookhaven
Association in a referendum petition tiled alter the city
council rezoned the land.
But to vote in this election, voters must be registered
in the Norman precinct lhev vote in Precincts around

keep public housing out of its neighborhood.
Councilman Scott Mills agreed.
"It is an attempt by the west side to stop public
housing from being moved into their neighborhood,”
Mills said. "But the east side tried the same thing.
"Nobody wants public housing in their neighbor-
hood," Mills said.
Public housing in the form of housing projects, that
is, Mills explained.
Section 8 public housing, which is not regulated by
the Norman Housing Authority, is a far better form ot
housing, Mills said.
"When you put a housing development out in a
cotton field on the west side,” he said, "it’s going to
stigmatize the neighborhood.”
Section 8 housing is subsidized housing allowing
recipients to live in a variety of locations, where land-
lords meet federal Department of Housing and Urban
Development guidelines.
"The maximum rent for section 8 housing for a one-
room apartment or home is $349,” Mills said. "You
can go out and find a number of the nicest types of
one-bedroom homes for under $350.”
City Manager James Crosby said, "The election w ill

"I’m not really sure how HUD would view this (the
moratorium)," Blanton said. "I’m not sure they
would be giving any more HUD money to any other
organizations if Norman decides it doesn’t want any
more public housing projects begun."
Judy Stidham, vice president of the Brookhaven
Homeowners Association, said Monday if the morato-
rium passes, there will still be programs available lor
low-income, elderly and handicapped housing, but the
housing authority would not be involved with any ot
the projects.
She said the other forms of funding cover subsidized
rental housing for the priv ate sector. She said the same
people will qualify for the housing as for the HUD-
housing authority housing.
Man walking picket line run over and killed by bus
"The bus stopped. Then the bus started moving.
The pickets got out of its way, and this one guy was
hanging on the side, jumping up and trying to hit the
mirror,” Kuntz said.
"He lost his fooling and slipped when he came
down. He fell on his back, and the bus was still turning
(the corner) and he was underneath the bus. He was on
his back trying to turn over on his right side (when)
those big, back duals (wheels) caught him.
"One caught his head and one went right over his
back.”
Greyhound strikers were asked Saturday lo vote on
the tentative settlement that would cut their wages and
force them to accept other financial concessions io end ,
the month-long, violence-marred strike.
Union leaders said they would urge the more than
12,700 striking Greyhound workers to ratify the settle-
ment and end the walkout against the country’s largest
inter-city bus line.
Some union workers predicted the rank and tile
would reject the pact reached by (heir leaders.

If Norman voters today decide that a moratorium
should be placed on public housing in Norman, the
matter will most likely end up in a tederal court.
Duane Blanton, director of the Norman Public Hous-
ing Authority, said Monday.
Blanton said that the housing authority and proba-
bly Legal Aid of Southwestern Oklahoma acting as an
intervenor would likely take court action if voters
approve the moratorium.
The housing authority has been a vocal opponent of
the moratorium, while (he Brookhaven Homeowners
Association has come out in favor of the measure.
Blanton said that a moratorium placed on public
housing in Norman could hurt Norman’s chances ot
Public housing issue could end up in court
Stidham said the association had not made any
decision on what to do if (he moratorium fails.
"I would say if the voters want more public hous-
ing, (hat we would go along with what the voters
want,” Stidham said.
Blanton said HUD administers money for all tedeial
housing programs. He said that in a letter to Norman
Mayor Steve Thrower, HUD officials told Thrower
that actions by the city dealing with the housing assis-
tance plan could affect the community development
block grant programs, from which future tunding
would be taken.
"I think that Norman has a better chance of getting
more public housing if the ability ot the Norman
Public Housing Authority to develop more projects is
not prevented by the moratorium,” Blanton said.
