LXXVIII, No.91 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, JANUARY 14, 1968 SEVEN CENTS TEN PAGES 'The South End:' A Battleground at Wayne State By DANIEL OKRENT Special to The Daily DETROIT-At Wayne State University, the students who run the newspaper, The Daily- Collegian, decided to change their publications name. Their campus is sandwiched in the heart of Detroit, so the editors of the newspaper looked to the campus' immediate north, where stood the General Motors Bldg., to them the symbol of America's economic values. Then they turned to the south, and viewed oneof De- troit's worst ghettos, where two of this cen- tury's worst racial riots have taken place. To which, they asked should today's college students orient themselves? To the north, or to the south? ' And theSouth End was born in blissful peace. That state of things did not last long. Theconflict that ensued revolves around the newborn South End and its battle with Dean of Students Duncan Sells, former Director of Student Organizations in Ann Arbor, and now Wayne's structural counterpart to Dr. Richard Cutler. The offspring of the conflict is a rival publication, The Phoenix, which contributes to the varying reaction of Wayne's student commuters, leaning to one side or the other or, more often, to both sides at the same time. The antagonists in the situation are Art John- ston, the bearded, motorcycle-Jacketed editor of The South End, and Sells, a button-down admin- istrator who fell into disfavor in Ann Arbor wheel he publicly opposed Vice-President Cutler's August, 1966, decision to forward names of the members of leftist campus organizations to the House Committee of Un-American Activities. Left in the wake of the Sells-Johnston battle- which the Dean of Student insists is not a battle at all, but the thought of which fills Johnston's eyes with flames-is The Phoenix, the paper "born from the ashes" of the old Daily Collegian. The immediate conflict began in November, when Sells cut back the South Ends' production, but it is the result of a complex history. For a considerable period of years at Wayne, reaching back to when the school was called the Colleges of the City of Detroit, Wayne was under supervision of the Detroit Board of Education. The school grew up like that, as a municipally- owned operation, experiencing its biggest growing pains during the depression of the '30's, when Detroit's college-bound youths could not afford to leave the city for an education. In 1954, after suffering through years of in- adequate funding, what had become Wayne Uni- versity in 1934 added a new middle name con- current with its inclusion in the state higher ed- ucation system. It also acquired government by a popularly-elected Board of Governors, structured exactly like the University's Board of Regents. Throughout WSU's years of growth, which have culminated in the school's status as one of the nation's 20 largest universities, the student body, oriented more toward life in their homes through- out the city and suburbs than toward life on the non-residental campus-was served by The Daily Collegian. Like most college papers, and particularly those on commuter campuses where students would never read a paper that isn't distributed free, The Daily Collegian was a simple compendium of facts and dates concerning events on campus. It faithfully-and in a manner dreadfully boring- ran advances and covers on WSU events, serving the function of a newspaper only in the meanest of fashions. But, last spring, things started to change. When the time came for Wayne's Student-Fac- ulty Council (SFC) to choose The Daily Collegian's next editor, Art Johnston came on the scene. A former high-school dropout who considers the major forces in his life Marx and Freud, Johnston is a brilliant individualist who had written a sporadic column for The Daily Collegian, but had cut off his output because of a dislike of the vehicle in which it was carried. After a fight for the editorship that involved a former news editor of the paper, Johnston- who had never been a full-time staff member- came out on top. This victory came despite the wishes of The Daily Collegian's staff. "At first, the staff was almost unanimously opposed to Art's appointment," says Alan Fisk, who is now Johnston's managing editor. "First, we didn't want SFC choosing the editor, we wanted to do that ourselves; secondly, we thought the editor should come from the staff." But, after a few weeks of adjustment, Fisk and the rest of the staff began to work fairly well with Johnston, so well that one month after The South End's September debut, David Peterson, executive director of the 300-member United States Student Press Association, called it "one of the four best college publications in the country." One thing must be comprehended in under- standing The South End as an institution: it is unlike any other journalistic medium extant. More a daily magazine than a newspaper, it is a well-assembled collection of exciting-and ex- citeable-copy, and of attractive graphics.

The om- budsman bureau, staffed by stu- dent members of the Literary College Student Steering Commit- tee, will open for business Tues- day, Jan. 16, in Assistant Dean James Shaw's office, 1220 Angell Hall. "The ombudsmen will take com- plaints and direct students to the proper channels for handling their problem," said Diane Saltz, '69, Steering Committee chairman. The student ombudsmen, and, in fact, the student Steering Com- mittee itself, represents a new ve- hicle for airing academic problems and finding their solutions and for effecting changes in the system. The ombudsmen idea grew out mbudsmen To Direct, e Academic Problems of a review by the Administrative Board of the Literary College, and the Steering Committee of exist- ing channels for complaint and change. The study followed from a recommendation contained in a report which was presented to the Presidential Commission on Student Decision-Making on No- vember 13, 1967. The report, entitled "Student Involvement in Academic Affairs," states that students should be aware of the "proper channels" through which they can voice grievances and advance sugges- tions about academic affairs in their schools and departments. It also suggests that schools and departments establish ombudsmen to handle questions and griev- ances. The latter recommendation has been rejected by the Administra- By MARY LOU SMITH Anyone looking in on the at- tack would hardly have known they were watching a training ses- sion in non-violence. But the "role-playing" practice, in which 4 people playing belligerent hecklers 'plowed' into others playing dem- onstrators, effectively demon- strated the techniques of non- violence. These techniques did not turn out to be the main theme of yes- terday's session-the first of three sessions being held weekly at POWell May Run Againll Next Fall, SAN FRANCISCO (P)-Adam Clayton Powell said yesterday that he may run for Congress again in November. Powell, barred from taking his seat in Congress last year after he was accused of mishandling funds, said "It depends on the decision of the Supreme Court." While on a short California col- lege speaking tour, Powell told a news conference that Negro civil rights leader Martin Luther King told him he considers Powell the only hope of Negroes in the Unit- ed States." Powell said he would return to Bimini today and then come back for speeches at universities in Florida, Tennessee, North Caro- lina, and Massachusetts. Until Powell was censured last year he had been elected twelve successive times by his Harlem constituents. Guild House - every Saturday morning. The dominant lesson was that these tactics alone are insuffi- cient; that living the ideals im- plied by non-violence is the most significant portion of peace .work. Gary Rader, a former Green Beret and now a Chicago peace worker, called it "living the kind of world you want to make." Rader's description of the Chi- cago Area Draft Resisters (CAD- RE), a Chicago peace group, so intrigued the group that they de- cided to pursue the idea in an evening session. Rader said CADRE's kind of liv- ing puts strong emphasis on "do- ing your own thing." He considers writing a poem or doing dishes for the group just as productive of a new, non-violent society as picketing against the war. All property is shared in CAD- RE, and living is simple. Rader said in their peace work there are no orders given, no power rela- tionships, only supportive ones. Rader said relationships with fellow peace workers, public of- ficials and hecklers are governed by an awareness of their common humanity. From this attitude, non-violence follows naturally, he said. Thus they try not merely to end war, but to end the sources of war. After the keynote speech by Ra- der, participants debated the prac- tical pro's and con's of various techniques of non-violence, and tested them out in 'role-playing.' Local radical and peace groups were evaluated and criticized. "The session gave me the idea that there is something in the movement besides just marching, that people live the things they say when they demonstrate," com- mented Luis Argueta, '69E. tive Board. "The Board felt that the necessary vehicles for com- plaint and change already exist," explained Dean Shaw. The Board is now interested in implementing the report on stu- dent involvement by making stu- dents aware of the proper griev- ance channels. To this end, the Board has out- lined a network for directing com- plaints and precipitating changes in the area of academic affairs. Two vehicles, one old and one recent, have been emphasized by the Board-academic counsellors, and department student commit- tees. According to Dean Shaw, the. University is "unique among area schools," and has served as a "model for other large universi- ties," in that all counsellors are members of the faculty, having direct access to department chair- men, and in the fact that con- siderable authority is vested in the counsellors by the University. These facts make the counselling system an important vehicle for complaint and change. For the past year, the Steering Committee has been involved in setting up departmental level com- mittees, composed of students con- centrating in the particular de- partments. The committees serve as advisory groups to their de- partments on such matters as course offerings and requirements, and make recommendations for revisions.

Spartans 'Top *Cagtqers, 86'81' By KENT WITTRUP The Engineering School's newest agency for "providing industry with technological assistance" is the Industrial Sciences Group (ISG), billed to dispense "program guidance, problem solving and ed- ucational services tailored to the needs of individual companies or whole industries." In the year since ISG was con- ceived by Profs. Irving Rozian and Thomas Butler, both of the electrical engineering department, it has been developed to put Mich- igan industry in contact with the research and trouble-shooting fa- cilities in the University's engin- eering school. Rozian termed ISG, "a client- oriented management center for interdisciplinary problems," and explained that its initialpurpose was to bridge a "'communications gap' between state industries and the research capacity of the Uni- versity." ISG's "quick-response" service offers help to companies with crit- ical problems they cannot solve through rapid application of the University's technical knowledge and laboratory facilities. In this capacity, ISG once help- ed repair a breakdown which had halted production of GM's new steerig units at a Michigan plant.

But he did venture a sigh of relief and a passing jibe:. "Well, I'm not responsible for Michigan's mistakes." - He was trying helplessly not to be too sarcastic, because the Wol- verines made only a few more mistakes than his woeful Spartans in a game weighed down by er- rors. Tough "It was a tough one for Dave Strack to lose because we haven't been doing well at all and his team's been coming so close," Benington chirped. "We seem to put a lot of things together but not enough to win," choked Strack, whose cagers went down to their second consecutive Big Ten loss and a 4-7 overall rec- ord. Down, down, down . . . with players shocked still in destruction like so many pillars of salt and with a coach colored over with blandness wishing and yet not wishing for the hurt inside to sub- side into the deadness of defeat ... and with a scream robbed of its echo. Michigan lost because it just couldn't convince itself it could win. It was a familiar story to Wol- verine fans. A similar pattern in many games last season led to a 2-12 conference record and a last- place finish. But last year Michi- gan was at least able to defeat MSU, by a score of 81-59. 58 Shots Michigan shot only 58 times. "We should be getting 70 to 75 shots a game.

A Fulbright fel- lowship and the Center for South and Southeast Asian Studies, one of five area centers which facil- itate international research at the University have made his work possible. After spending two years in Pakistan for the Peace Corps and then deciding to seek his grad- uate degree, McDonough came to China, South and South East Asia, the Near East and North Africa, and Russia and Eastern Europe. According to George W. Grass- muck, Assistant Vice-President for International Studies, each center is among the best of its kind. He points specifically to the Chinese center which was one of four centers in the country to re- ceive a special $900,000 Ford Foundation grant to study China recently. The Japanese center is the oldest area center here, having been in existence for 20 years. through the centers. An under- graduate at the University can now specialize with one of the area centers while taking his major in a standard concentration program.I Area centers at the University originated in 1947 with the forma- tion of the Center for Japanese Studies.
