The good thing is that they are not open to peo-- pie outside the project so that people can circulate within the development freely, with no worry about cars.

The bad thing Is that they could offer a burglar route and because of the fences people on the first floor of the units won't be able to see what's going on. From the second floor, though, there view -ortne walk ways and they will be well lighted, a factor which the architects believe will prevent any crime problem. The project, located at 821 Filbert in West Oakland, is being built at a cost Of $7.9 million in federal loans. The rents will range from $98 to $100 for a one bedroom" apartment to $145 a month for a four bedroom townhouse.

If the phrase means you've never seen anything quite like it, the description is apt.

The problem was to place a high number of apartments into a fairly constricted site. The architects, Burger and Coplan of San Francisco, profess to be pleased with the results The units are small with almost no window space on one side and none at all on two others. On the fourth side, the first floor offers a view of a high wooden fence, a few feet away. (This may be improved by the addition of colorful lawn furniture or some shubbery, but in the model at any rate the effect is cramped. The "patio" is only 12 feet deep, about five feet more than the length of a good sized bed.) On.

the second floor, windows in the bedroom come almost to the floor, offering nice view of the apartments across the way. There is a metal bar across the window about two feet off the floor so that (hopefully) toddlers won't topple into the tiny patio below. The bathroom fixtures show the effect of cost cutting to bring the project within the federal financing limits. The toilets have shaky plastic seats and the bathtubs make a nice pinging sound when you hit them they're metal covered with enamel, like a saucepan. But.

The associations' teachers already have voted not to report to work next fall if agreements aren't reached. They also voted to seek jobs elsewhere and to discourage new teachers from coming into the district. The California Teachers.

As sociation and National Education Association must help to make these job sanctions work. Both organizations are withholding approfal until it seems certain that mediation has broken down, says Richard Call, chairman of the teachers' Negotiating Council. Technically, it is the council, set up under state law, that is negotiating with the board. But the OEA, Oakland's largest teaching group, holds all nine council seats.

SEDGE and OFT recommended that the district give all junior and senior high school students copies of cards lfsting the rights of persons under arrest.

They also requested that po-lice not arrest- children in -school unless parents are notified, a practice Phillips says already is followed, and that students' personal effects, such as girl's purses, not be searched without a warrant. The recommendations also covered vocational education and reading. Phillips suggested that Walrath should talk to William C.
