"So they are a bit afraid and don't know quite what to do or how to act," Anderson said, adding that that situation usually changes within a few weeks. He admitted, however, that there have been a few more "brush fire" incidents this year.

While school responsibility for students doesn't extend beyond the grounds unless students are on buses, Anderson said when the school is aware of problems off the school grounds, they try to follow them up and take action even if the problem is several blocks away. "I have been talking to the students the past couple of days and I think the atmosphere here is about normal, except for the rumors from other parts of the community." Anderson said.

a sophomore at Horlick. "I didn't have anything against blacks until I heard that girls were getting hurt. That made me mad," he said referring to reported incidents of girls being shoved down stairs and getting their hair cut off at Horlick. Stenovich said that he had attempted to track down rumors and that to the best of his knowledge no such incidents took place. Another rumor that apparently Infuriated many white students was that a white Horlick boy had been stabbed.

Stenovich also denied that this was true. It was reported by a number of students that some groups of youths attempted to tip over a school bus in the Jerstad parking lot but didn't succeed. Police and faculty were eventually able to clear the area of outsiders including many irate parents and by 3:30 p.m. the atmosphere was faily calm. Today, Jerstad opened without any upsetting incidents.

It appeared however, that only about half of the students had showed up. The principal Robert" McMillen, was reportedly ill and the assistant principal Richard Fair, at Jerstad refused to comment on attendance or anything else pertaining to the eruptions. There were no answers to the question many students and administrators were asking "How did this all come about?" "It almost seems planned," said one student. Another said he felt the major cause was overcrowding at Jerstad. "You have to fight your way down the hall as it is," he said.

"We'll have to have schools separated by the races," said another student at Jerstad. "Some kids want to try and get along but most don't."

Mayor Stephen Olsen, who is commission chairman, pointed out there was an 11-7 City Council vote Oct. 1 urging the commission to reconsider the "approval.

Olsen, who had voted against the K-mart development, noted No difficulties were reported at either J.I. Case High School or Washington Park High School, where some had been reported earlier. Case High School was the scene of some fighting early last week involving a total of about 10 students and several arrests. Five of the Case students involved in the fights had disciplinary hearings before the School Board Wednesday afternoon. Three were expelled, according to Pupil Services Director Leland Johnson, and two were directed to make other arrangements for education, either through the School District's Academy or Alternative School or some other means.

James Thompson, principal at Washington Park High School, reported the situation there was normal. 3U Parking lot paving urged Mitchell Styberg (Continued from Page 1A) Reports of serious problems at Mitchell Junior High School earlier this week are overblown, according to Richard Anderson, principal of the school. He said there were three incidents, one leading to the arrest of a student for threatening another student with a knife, and two involving fights with high school students. One suspension resulted from the incidents besides the weapons arrest, Anderson said. He added however, that at the most about a dozen students seemed to be involved in the problems out of the 1,334 at the school.

"There is some tendency for rumors of tension in the high schools to spread down into the junior high level," Anderson said, but he added the atmosphere at Mitchell is normal. "One of the problems at some of the other schools may be the fact that some of them suddenly have larger numbers of minority students than they are used to having," he added. Mitchell School has been heavily integrated for several years, he explained. "There also is a natural apprehension on the part of our 7th Proposals to pave and landscape the lakefront parking lot below Gateway Technical Institute were recommended Wednesday by the City Council's Public Works Committee. City Engineer Lester Hogan-son estimated costs would run about $120,000 for Gateway and some $38,000 for the city.

Gateway officials had agreed earlier to making improvements on the city-owned lot used mostly by Gateway visitors, but had objected to some city proposals for landscaping. Proposals call for work to be done next year, including expanding the lot south toward 11th street to provide 475 spaces. Gateway would pay for grading, a stone base, bituminous paving, lighting and curbs around the edge of the lot. City funds would cover sewers and drainage, curbs around landscaping islands in the lot and the landscaping. equipment.
