Mrs. Marjorie Seward of 2416 North Wycoff read a prepared statement to the Council consisting of the complaints the residents shared in such a program. It stated that the residcnts were concerned about the parking problem which had arisen from the Olynrpic College Class but their main reason for concern was that this area was zoned.Residential-One (R-I) and it was being used commercially thus devaluating fl~eir property. The letter also stated that she had received two phone calls from Mr. Lofgren, a College Teacher, who requested her not to go before the Council to protest this project. Mr. Lofgren who was present, then presented the College's views and stated that it was his feeling that the people would not have been opposed to the class of Home Economics, be- ing held in a home, if the residents surrounding the home had been aware of what was taking place before it actually happened.

Park, the College President, then apoligized to the residents for not discussing the class in their neighborhood with them before. He also stated that he and other college officials would be willing to meet with the residents now to help clarify any misunderstand- ings they may have.
