In the introductory remarks, Prof. S. B. Kar of the Center for Population Planning said, "We must make a strong committment not to have more than two chil- dren." Clarifying the title of the discussion - "Make Love, n o t babies" - Kar added, "We are Tenants Union plans. to picket Dahlmann By BOB SCHREINER The Ann Arbor Tenants Union' plans to picket landlord Dennis Dahlmann this afternoon to pro- test his failure to recognize the Tenants Union as a legitimate bargaining agent. The picketing will take place at 3:30 in front of the office of Dahl- 'ann Apartments, located at 545 Church. Dahlmann is manager of the apartment company, which operates sx buildings with 150 units in Ann Arbor. Lynn Hallen, press secretary for the Tenants Union, said that "if Dahlmann is not at his /office, then we'll go to his home and picket." "The point is-we want to see Dahlmann," she said. 'We have 68 per cent of Dahl- iann's tenants as members," Miss Halen said. "That's twice as much as are needed to form a labor union. And yet, when his tenants presented him with a petition ask- ing that he recognizeuthe Tenants Union, he said he couldn't 'for personal reasons'." Dahlmann was unavailable for comment The protest against Dahlmann will be the third demonstration the Tenants Union has launched against local landlords. The union has previously picketed Lester Drake and Louis Rome, but Dahlmann is the first major land- lord to be picketed by the union. Miss Hallen said that the Ten- ants Union is going to concentrate heavily on Dahlmann in the next few weeks. "We're focusing on him," she said. "We are going to bring some public pressure to bear on Dahl- mann," she continued. "We want to publicly embarrass him." "Dahlmann is known as a pretty good landlord," Miss Hallen said. "That means that he has fairly new buildings and keeps them maintained just a little above the minimum required by law. But that only shows how bad the situ- ation really is in Ann Arbor." "If a landlord barely keeps up maintenance he's considered a paragon," she said.' Miss Hallen said the Tenants Union has received reports that some of Dahlmann's tenants have been using guerrilla tactics to emphasize their conditions. In one incident, a tenant reportedly "for- got" to turn his hot water off, and it ran all night. The Tenants Unions disavows all responsibility for such acts. "We are going to force Dahl- mann tq take some action," said Miss Hallen. not saying do away with babies. We are saying that you have to disassociate fertility with love." To support his stand Kar said "One of the things that separ- ates man from other animals is his ability to invent tools. Con- traceptives are such tools." Mrs. Deborah Oakley of t h e Council on Population Environ- ment (COPE) gave statistics to clarify Kar's remarks. "To have a zero population growth rate, we have to reduce the present birth growth by 2/," she explained. "If the population continues to grow at its present rate, by the year 2000 our population will have swelled to 300 million." Another panelist, Mr. William Bryan, of Zero Population Growth (ZPG) discussed the possibility of equalizing birth and death rates. "To keep children at two per fam- ily, abortion will have to be leg- alized," he added. The primary function of ZPG currently is one of education, Bryan said. "Few people realize it is the white middle class, not the ghetto dwellers that are at jthe core of the population problem. If black society limited itself to three children per family the pop- ulation growth would be reduced by only three per cent." Bryan added that ZPG has three major goals: -To keep families at no more than two children; -To make birth control meth- ods available including abortion and sterilization. -To have tax laws designed to discourage large families: Concluding the panel, Dr. Scott Simons of the public health school offered recommendations for the future. He said there is a need to reform the current study of pop- ulation problems but added that ultimately, the problem is one of personal concern and commit- (Continued from Page 2) One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich was Solzhenitsyn's strongest work, his most direct and most real. The First Circle, he felt, was too diffuse a n d he felt, was too diffuse and strayed too far from the auth- or's personal experience to be entirely 'believable. He cited the description of Stalin in his study as being one of the weak- er points of the book. Other critics have disagreed. Solzhenitsyn is in many re- spects a very old fashioned auth- or. He doesn't experiment. He is a straight forward realist in the Russian tradition and many of his .techniques ca be traced to those authors who preceeded him. Tolstoy exercise a great influence o n Solzhenitsyn's work, in structure and texture of proseand in the use of epithets as handles for easy character identification. Solzhenitsyn also took much of his life philosophy from Tolstoy and like Tolstoy he evidences a strong- desire to preach. "It's so important to say certain things that art doesn't matter." , Professor Hayward is the co- translator of Doctor Zhivago and of One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. He has trans- lated works of Isaac Babel and is the editor and coordinator of several Russian textbooks. 7lly~T~dBUlY 2OUSE GOOD EWS COLUMBIA RECORDING ARTISTS FRI.-SAT.-SUN.
