"Because of Michigan's reputation for teach-ins, I have the impression that this goes on every night." Lynd joined John Gerassi, pro- fessor of international relations at San Francisco State College, on the Diag to continue the discus- sion of "America in Crisis," the topic of last night's teach-in, which attracted about 1000 peo- ple. Lynd warned that the war in Vietnam "is not an isolated event, we must realize that we hap- pened to be born in a society which is racist, imperialist and proto-fascist, and will go on pro- ducing wars until you or I stop It." Times Are Changing Lynd asserted that the days of the "Students for a Democratic Society and SNCC radical way of life are over." He described this way of life as one where "we would spend two or three years as radicals" and then go on to professional careers "in middle class America." Lynd claimed that the assump- tion behind this way of life was that "America had a problem - I the 'Negro problem.' What we fail- ed to realize was that America is the problem." Lynd said that "we must now move on to a second way of life- that of resistance." He warned, "There will be a reaction to our resistance." He supported this by citing President Johnson's claim that "obedience to law must be our religion here in America." Political Philosophy Lynd contended that this asser- tion is indicative of the coming political philosophy of the U.S. government-"a political philoso- phy of repression." "The days of being patted on the head for going down to Mis- sissippi are over; the days of be- ing spit on as you come out of prison are coming." Lynd called for a "firm, quiet, confident and even humorous re- sistance to the present policies of the U.S. government. He said, "It is we who are affirming the tradi- tions of this country . .. our poli-I tical philosophy is that of the Declaration of Independence while Lyndon Baines Johnson's is that of Adolf Eichmann." Gerassi echoed the sentiment of Lynd by saying, "Where in the past non-violence and civil dis- obedience was the answer, we must now go beyond this."3 "Peaceful coexistence is what allows the world to be dominated by the, U.S. and what allows the U.S. to control and murder people' We must realize our choice as cit- izens of that world." .-he con- tinued. ' Gerassi further stated that "WeI must be committed to the pro- position that we can't live in a well-adjusted world if anyone else pays the consequences. the beginning if whites don't: transfer power to the blacks. He wants to set up a separate ter- ritory solely for the use of the Negro and said that "a black per-r son wanting integration is a mu- seumn piece." ' Support War ' Prof. Richard Stewart of the Residential College, however, sup- ported the U.S. presence in Viet- nam by stating that if we should withdraw, it would be a sellout to our allies in Southeast Asia, and would precipate actions by the: Chinese paralleling those of the Germans in 1939. Stewart said: "If we pulled out and violated our ag'eement with the Vietnamese government, we would indicate to our other allies ... .... that the United States was a } +."r country that welched on its treaties. Peace depends on pre- serving enough alliances so there remains enough for a standoff throughout the world." Local Problem The participants in the panel discussion on "Racial Problems in v Ann Arbor were unanimous in. their agreement that the basic racial problem in the city as well as in the rest of the nation is "white racism." Ralph Ellison Speaks at Race Dr. Albert H.

University President Harlan Hatcher announced that the request has been transmitted to the state budget direc- tor to meet requirements for early information. A more de- tailed request will follow the Regents' discussion of the proposed budget at their Oct. 20 meeting. Next year's request exceeds the request made for 1967-68 by $1.2 million. As the Legislature appropriated only $59.2 Imillion, the request for the coming year is $16.6 million, or 29 per cent, greater than the cur- rent year's operating appro- ". priation.

Four Motions -Daily---Richard S. Lee Chum, Fi~ndings; 4n Reaitty "Sometimes in failing to grasp the complexity of life we (sociol- ogists) do gloss over important problems. This is an imperfection. "But," he continued, "in mak-: ing the relevant statistical obser- vations social scientists do paint a macro-picture upon which we can act accordingly. We must have radical reforms and rational in- formation to cement them to." Then, taking off in a jocular, vein to criticize another academic discipline, Myrdal noted that from his reading of the statistics com- piled by physcial anthropologists,' "Negroes on the average are no darker than whites. a "I will leave you with your -own common sense on that one," he added. service," Hatcher said.

Appropriations Decline In terms of enrollment increases and price inflation, the state ap- propriation has declined in that time period, Vice-President for Academic Affairs Allan R. Smith aid yesterday. Between 1957 and 967, enrollment rose by 9,889 stu- dents or 42.5 per cent, but in erms of 1957-58 purchasing pow- er, the budget for the current year was onlsy 33.7 per cent great-. er, he explained.. Smith asserted that the Univer- ity' has an especially strong pro- gram in the graduate and profes- ional fields. He said that 51 per ent of the University's degrees are at the master's and doctor's evels compared to 25 per cent nationwide. Dean Robb and William Good- man, attorneys for the defense, plan to submit four motions at Friday's session.' Ti firstsasks that charges against Barden be dropped on the grounds that there is insufficient evidence associating him with the showing of the allegedly obscene film. A second motion asks that some prosecution evidence -be disallow- ed on the grounds that it was not properly obtained. The content of the, other too motions has not been disclosed. The defendants were arrested in January, two days after Detective Lt. Eugene Staudenmeier seized the film after 14 minutes of It had been shown. Bound Over They were bound over for trial Sept. 1, after eight months of intermittent hearings in Ann Ar- bor Municipal Court.

Copi Students Ponder Teach-In OPPORTUNITY AWARDS PROGRAM: 'U' Successfully Aids Deprived By DAVID MANN Among the multitudes of fresh- men entering the University this fall, 155 are distinctly different. These freshmen are the Class of 1971 in the Opportunity Awards Program (OAP). 44 of whom remain in the Uni- versity.

This was in line with his com- ment Monday that the Negroes form only one quarter of the American poor, and that their best hope lies in the unity of the underprivileged:y One questioner charged that it was exactly such symposiums asl "Voices of Civilization" that re- veal "white arrogance toward the Negro," and which in no way adds to Negro self-confidence which these speakers had em- phasized. Both social scientists disagreed with this to some ex- tent. Firth said that it was such activities which hope to create "a climate of opinion which would nake the imnlementation of our that in South Africa is very real." Recent restrictive laws aimed at ghetto areas might be expanded to create a situation of de facto apartheidthat would be enforced legally, he said. He added that in Europe "the U.S. is seen as a country which tries to reform itself," but that because of Vietnam and the riots the prestige of the United States has fallen seriously in Europe. About Vietnam he said, "that is, you know, a very unpopular war." Another question concerned the concept. of "survival of the fit- test." The geneticist Dobzhansky commented that it was a 19th century concept that has changed beyond recognition.
