TRIBUNE, SUNDAY, NOVEMBERS, 1969 RC Section 10 -h Let Contracts After Hesitant Approval Call for End to Sports at Eckersall Stadium by not, scheduling games for hi plan which would expand classroom space. School Nerdi Facilities According to Maurice Gallagher, trustee and past president of the civic group, the school needs the additional library and auxiliary facilities. They oppose, however, any plan which includes expansion into adjacent park district land to add classrooms. There had been some confusion among civic association members who thought the additions, for which bids were submitted three weeks ago, would add classrooms to the school. No dates for a start of the work were set by the board, altho spokesmen indicated electrical and ventilating work would begin "in the near future." After hesitant approval by the Garfield Ridge Civic association, the board of education recently awarded contracts for partial additions to Kennedy High school, 6325 W.

56th st. The contracts total $400,122 for construction of library facilities, a data processing center, and lunchroom on "stilts" on the second floor of the school. Use School Grounds All the additions win be on existing school grounds. No new classrooms will be added. The work will include some renewal and reinforcement of the school'i foundation, f'oors, and roof.

The Garfield Ridge Civic association, meeting the night, before the board meeting, tentatively supported the minor addition to the school, while reaffirming opposition to any ft 4 1 1 if ment that might cause trouble were moved out of the area the community would lose. Several members of the audience expressed various views on the police handling of the situation. One man said that he saw police within 10 feet of youths who were throwing rocks and none of the youths were stopped. Not Enough Police Nolan said there were not enough police to handle the mob that day. "Our police will prevent riots in the future," he promised.

He said this would be accomplished by preventing mobs from forming. Many other problems and possible causes of the violence were discussed. One problem, it was reported, is the drinking that occurs before and during the football games. Nolan said the police needed the assistance of the community to locate and arrest those persons who sold alcohol to the minors. He wondered if there were any persons in the audience who had notified police when liquor was sold to a Vh.

Contest Will Urge More Cleanliness in Housing Project local schools. All spectators would have to come and leave by bus. There would be no students walking home thru the community. Stepto said perhaps local schools could play their games in other stadiums such as Lane Tech or Soldiers' field. He said, however, that Soldiers' field would be a problem because of scheduling.

He wanted to know if the community was opposed to all spectator sports in the stadium since football is the only one that has created problems. He listed soccer, skating, track, tennis, and baseball as other sports played in the stadium. Many In the audience wanted the stadium closed, and fixed up for community recreational use. It also was the belief of many that football was the only sport causing any significant problems. Closed In 1956 Aid.

Nicholas J. Bohllng 7th told the audience that the problem was not a new one. He said that he had been receiving letters since 1954 to close the stadium. The stadium was closed for the first half of the 1956 season but was reopened when students promised there would be no violence. There were no difficulties for several years after that, he said.

Aid William Cousins Jr. 8th said that he had mixed emotions about the closing of the stadium. Cousins said he was afraid it would become a tomb in the community. After the session, both aldermen expressed the view that the stadium would be closed to spectators during at least part of the 1970 football season. Games might be played there but no spectators would be allowed, they said.

Bohling said that he would arrange a meeting between the aldermen, the board of education, the park district, and some concerned members of the community within the next few weeks to arrive at a solution.

82d voted overwhelmingly in a recent meeting to urge the closing of the stadium to all spectator sports. Tempers and emotions prevailed thruout the meeting attended by about 80 persons in St. Thomas Lutheran church, 8008 Jeffery blvd. Included in the groups represented were the Eckersall Neighbors, South Shore commission, Jeffery. Yates Neighbors, Rainbow Neighbors, and the South Shore Chamber of Commerce.

Roger Salter, 8017 S. Yates President of Eckersall Neighbors, acted as chairman of the meeting. Tells of Violence He opened the meeting by recounting the incidents of violence, property damage, and personal injury which occurred after the football game Oct. 30 between Lindblom High school and Chicago Vocational school. Windows were smashed and youths beaten, Salter said.

In one instance a boy was thrown thru a plate glass window, he said. Salter charged that police could not handle the mob and those arrested were not prosecuted. He ended his remarks by calling for the closing of the stadium to spectator sports. He suggested the spectator games be played at other stadiums such as Soldiers' field. Reports on Arrests Police Comdr.

Francis Nolan of the South Chicago police district, countered a 1 1 's charges. He said that all of the 77 persons arrested were charged. Juveniles went to Family court and the others went to South Boys' court, he laid. Police were not prepared for the first afternoon of violence but kept violence to a minimum the following night, he said. "The only serious problem happened the one day," Nolan "I would like to see spectator sports moved out of the community.

It would make my job easier," he said. But, he said, if all entertain- 1 tr "T- minor. Criticisms of Police Several in the audience charged that the police did nothing when they phoned in complaints. One suggested that police protection of illegal sales was not unheard of and that if the police really wanted to stop the illegal sale of alcohol they could. Another problem is that the only restroom in the stadium is on the north side, residents said.

Thus, spectators on the south side of the stadium would necessarily meet with rival students on the north side. Herman Stepto, director of programming in area A south side for the board of education, said there was no money to build more washroom facilities. Eliminate "Walkers" He said that one solution to the problem would be to building at the ninth floor and remain there until it is awarded to another building. The contest is scheduled to begin next month. According to housing authority officials, all buildings will be thoroly inspected thruout the month by a committee composed of building council presidents, an advisory council representative, a maintenance department representative, and the community and tenant relations aid for the area.

Factors considered in the judging will include condition'of gallaries in the buildings, walls, windows, doors, laundry rooms, garbage chutes, and elevator doors. Residents of the Robert Taylor Homes public housing project are expected to make an extra effort to keep their buildings clean in the next year. Earlier this month, the project's resident advisory council and the Chicago Housing authority, which operates the project, announced the start of a year-long contest designed to encourage cleanliness and good appearance in the housing complex. Each month, one building in the project will be judged the best for cleanliness and good appearance and will be awarded a large wooden emblem. The emblem will be displayed on the outside of the A REAL CUT-UP -Cutting out a pattern for a smart looking skirt is Dawn Prince, 9, of 5739 64th st.
