Reid: Law, Politics and the Homeless LAW, POLITICS AND THE HOMELESS INEZ SMITH REID* I. INTRODUCTION The plight of the homeless is one of the most vexing social problems con- fronting policy makers in this country. So pervasive is this problem that it touched the 1984 presidential election, and prompted the incumbent president to make a promise concerning the establishment of a model facility for the homeless in Washington, D.C., a promise that became the subject of legal action in 1985.' Had the social problem of the homeless emerged publicly in the decade of the sixties, undoubtedly it would have been handled by President Lyndon John- son's "Great Society" and "War on Poverty," and perhaps even resolved in large measure by funding through programs such as Model Cities. Moreover, the plight of the homeless certainly would have captured the imagination and commanded the legal talents of dedicated poverty lawyers who were determined to establish a constitutional right to life, including the basics of human existence: food, shelter, and even medical care.

As a result, the actual “work” of the office quite frequently took place outside the confines of the White House. The Directors of the office, Steven Studdert, William Henkel, and James Hooley, spent a considerable time in the field, particularly in support of international travel. Activities within this office centered round the “trip desk,” which was the coordinating point for trips and events, as well as other activities such as site surveys conducted independently of specific trips. The trip desk provided a method to accumulate all related material. Records related to each trip/event were gathered during and after the activity and filed at the trip desk.

  • Organizers Postpone Hands Across Campus Event Closure O F
    in sid e paged Francisco Torres Resident Slashed Critical Reports Focus of UCSB Faculty Meeting Senate to Review Chancellor Expenditures and Leadership By Steven Eber Campus Editor One of the most important UCSB Academic Senate meetings in recent years will convene this afternoon as faculty members discuss several critical reports on Chancellor Robert Huttenback and vote whether to hold confidence polls in the chancellor and key senate leaders. Huttenback said he may not attend the special 3:15 p.m. meeting in the Snidecor Hall Main Theater because of his perception of its content. The chancellor declined to comment on any charges released in three senate reports that examine and evaluate his abilities to manage the university. The reports focus on many topics including the senate/administration relationship, known as shared governance, the chancellor’s commitment to long-term academic planning, use of discretionary funds and a proposed $160-million cogeneration facility. While Huttenback would not comment on the charges specifically, he did defend his use of university funds to provide partial accommodations for two Santa Barbara TOM REJZEK/Naxut County Supervisors to attend an environmental con­ L ik e A R o c k — Assistant Professor Cathy Busby-Spera uses a bullhorn to point out sedimentary features in the ference in Italy last October. rocks to geology students during afield trip to Pyramid Dam in Los Angeles County.
