"A greater amount of education doesn't reduce the level," he adds. Warren recently completed a preliminary descriptive study of racial tensions in nine Detroit suburbs, the "white noose" around the city. "White collar workers who of- ten have some college experience and a higher income tend to be paternalistic," Warren says. "Blue collar factory workers are more hostile," he adds. . G;roup to evaluate (Continued from page 1) She agrees that the present pro- gram lacks experienced faculty and an effective practice teaching setup. The ad hoc committee will begin meetings next 'week when all the memfbers have been chosen and a chairman elected. An initial re- port is expected within three months., Angus is the first faculty mem- ber to, be chosen for the commit- tee. In addition to Miss Guskin, student members are Otis Nelson, Grad, Bill Berends, and Miriamf Wistag, both sophomores. Warren's study covered the al- inost totally white suburbs of Southfield, Dearborn,. Southgate, East Detroit, Warren, Plymouth,' Madison Heights, and Royal Oak. Average family income in the area ranges from $8,100-$12,000. Residents in the area were questioned about what they thought caused the riot, about their community's reaction to the riot, and about commitments to change of racist behavior. Warren's findings, using 50 names selected from the Detroit telephone gook, were collected last June. The results showed that: -Black nationalism was be- lieved t6 be a major cause of the disorders. -The suburbs were greatly con- cerned about further rioting. Surburbanites are not commit- ted to changing attitudes or in- stitutions. Warren said racial problems arise because of the "separate world of the white suburb." The suburb -tends to be an "isolated environment," Warren adds, "and information that crosses the bord- ers is distorted," The white community also viewed criminal elements and too much welfare as riot causes. Police brutality was at the bottom of the list. In an earlier survey, Warren found that middle class Negroes cited police brutality, poor hous- ing, and lack of jobs as major causes of disorders.. Only one in five of these re- spondents correctly identified the major finding of the Kerner Re- port on Civil Disorder-that white racism leads to rioting.

The state of SGC at the present time is extremely regrettable. It is an SDS-oriented organization alien to the real needs and desires of most students. The immaturity and irresponsibility displayed by SGC in burning letters and threat- ening the administration is in- tolerable. ,On too many issues SGS has failed to represent the sentiments of the majority of the student body. We ;would like to change' this state of affairs and and help make SGC responsive again to all students. SGC should be an organization representing the student body and their interests. It should not be a political tool used by a small clique of individuals for promoting so-called "radical" programs. SGC should have no right to appropri- ate money for revolutionary speakers for Columbia University nor for ads supporting minor in- terest groups on campus. The purse strings of SGC should be watched over more closely. SGC should not be allowed to go $8,000 in' debt again. A great deal of student funds has been spent by SGC; unfortunately, the aver- age student on campus has bene- fited little if any from these ex- penditures. Tied to all this is the present plan for incorporation. We are opposed to the present plans. We question what the ultimate ends for incorporation really are. They Michael Modelski exist if the Constitutional Con-, vention is reinvigorated and al- lowed to carry out its mandate. The present SGC election system is absurd and one of the major reasons for student apathy. Now it seems some people on SGC and bn Con-Con are out to hamper any meaningful efforts to set up any new system. It is our feeling that SGC must be restructed so that definite con- stituences for each representative would be established. The best plan for such a set-up seems to be to divide the campus into geographical wards 'or to set up representation by schools. Only in such a way can SGC be made responsive to the whole student body. A structure for closer con- tact and communication would thus be set up between the SGC representatives and their consti- tuenpies.' Proposals for a student union, should be also be pushed. This, however, should be set up outside the SGC structure. It should be a student lobby which, student will join voluntarily. If the union proves responsive-and effective in meeting students needs ard wants, we are sure that it could prove to be a very practical and essential part of the University community.

I feel a Student Lobby should be established whose purpose it is to enable the individual student to play an important part in his stu- dent government. Any student who waits to alleviate some exist- ing problem can wor~k through the Lobby machinery to gain support for his idea and to take actions to solve the problem. At all times the student who initiates the pro- gram directs all actions that are taken and makes all the decisions. With the establishment of the Lobby will come greater student participatiofi in government and more progress in alleviating exist- ing proplems. 2. .Certain educational reforms are .necessary and should be in- itiated by SGC: (1) Language re- quirements should be abolished, (2) the pass-fail system should be broadened, (3) more off .campus courses like 'the inner city should be established, a n d (4) further course evaluation book, and the work should be done on the course evaluation book,, and the evaluations should be used to im- prove courses. j 3. Internal reforms of SGC are necessary: (1) student polls should be used to find out what the body ! feels about issues which 'arise. SGCs decisions should be influ- enced by the, opinions expressed by the stu~dents, they represent. (2) Meetings should be held in different places such as dorms and fraternities so that the meet- ings are always easily accessible to iome groups of students. (3) A column should be established in, the Daily in which SGC meM- I bers voice their views on issues which arise, and the student body may know how their representa- tives feel. 4. A second newspaper should be established,' not to compete with the Daily but to complement it. 5. SGC should .be concerned with consumer protection for the 1 sttudent body.
