Returning

Women

Studente

By ANN MUNSTER
Women whose education has
been interrupted, typically by
marriage and family responsibili-
ties, are returning to universities
in large numbers.
The University's Center for
Continuing Education of Women,
established in 1964, seeks to aid
these mature women in matching
their educational plans with cur-
rent employment needs.
The Center counsels women in
mapping out their educational
directions and making decisions
compatible with their interests,
abilities, and obligations. Assist-
ance is also offered in ironing out
the practical difficulties of adjust-
ing schedules to meet the special
needs of married women with
children.
The Center also holds confer-

ences and workshops, prepares
publications, and recommends ad-
justments in university regula-
tions, procedures, and programs.
No technical academic counsel-
ing is given. Referral is made to
the appropriate offices of the Uni-
versity or other institutions to
handle the various problems of
admissions, t e s t i n g,; academic
counseling, psychological counsel-
ing, and financial aid. The Center
also keeps a file of materials on
promising fields of employment
and specific job opportunities. It
does not act, however, as a place-
ment service.
In contrast to its original staff
of 'two half-time people and one
three-fourths time secretary, the
Center now employs eight people,
all but one of them part-time. All
of the professional staff assume

some counseling responsibilities.
According to Director Jean W.
Campbell, this is because "a coun-
selor loses the feel of what is
really going on in the office if she
does not talk to women regularly."
Since its inception, the coun-
selors at the Center have talked
to over 1,150 women in interview
situations. The Center currently
averages 30 new cases a month.
The average age of women
seeking advice is 36.6. Eighty per
cent are married and have chil-
dren. The vast majority of women
are drawn from the Ann Arbor
area, with many coming from
other parts of Michigan and a
few from out of state. One third
are alumnae of the University.
Any woman is welcome at the
Center; she need not plan to en-
roll in a degree program. Some

women come to the Center who
have dropped out of school and
are not married, but no longer
feel like undergraduates. The Cen-
ter's counseling stresses concern
for education for a lifetime,
whereas the average undergradu-
ate is more interested in the
moment.
Seventy-one per cent of the
women who have tapped the coun-
seling resources of the Center
have enrolled or have made plans
for doing so either at the Univer-
sity or at another institution. The
others are undecided or have
found jobs.
From the beginning, particularly
in its special projects, the Center
has given special attention to the
professions which best utilize the
talents and experience of mature

IN MILWAUKEE:
Freedom House Youths Seek
To Improve Life in Slums


By GAIL SMILEY
Special To The Daily
MILWAUKEE-Al the cats werej
sittin' around diggin' jazz guitar
at Freedom House, talking about
the rat problem, and the school
problem, and the job problem.
Freedom House is in the 7th ward,
the ghetto. Founded by the NAACPE
Youth Council in early 1966, it is
directed by Father Groppi, a'
Catholic priest.
Youth Council membership is;
around 900, mostly older youths1
from the 7th ward. It's their dutyi
to work in the slums. The first
thing they say to reporters is that
they have to talk to Father Groppi,1
because every time they talk to
reporters a story about Negro7
bums and troublemakers is print-!
ed. Still, they're anxious to talk
about their project.

"The vocational school isn't any'
good either. The only job you can
get out of there is in a foundry or
a tannery. Not a real paying job."
Rat Problem
Rats are a big problem in the
7th ward. There are garbage cans
overflowing beside every house,
and the streets are littered with
trash. There is a city trash pick-
up but the residents feel it's in-
adequate.
"You see any cats in this neigh-
borhood? You know why there
aren't any? They all crossed the
Mason-Dixon line, going South to
get away from the rats in Mil-
waukee." This brought a loud
laugh. "You open any garbage can
on this street and you'll find two
rats arguing about whose can it

a big smile and said, "Except pick-
eting the police station and
marching for better housing of
course."
The Youth Council members are
especially worried about the police
during the spring. They say that
about this time the police-run cor-
rection home needs a lot of help
to work in their fields, planting
crops.
The youths say it is very easy
to get picked up for ambiguous
things like loitering at this time.
There is also a general fear that
the police could make a person
confess to any crime by using rub-
ber hoses or wet towels, which can
be used as instruments of coercion
without leaving any marks on the
body.

Citizens Promote.


THE HARVARD LAW SCHOOL faculty voted Tuesday to
eliminate all course requirements for second-year students. The
adoption of an elective program for the second year leaves the
seven-course program for the first year as the school's only
required curriculum. The third-year curriculum has been entirely
elective since 1960.
THE "MICHIFISII," the University's synchronized swim-
ming club, will put on a special performance entitled "One More
Time" at Margaret Bell Pool on Friday, June 2, at 8:15. Price of
admisison will be 75c.
The performance, under the direction of Patricia Daugert of
the Physical Education Department, will feature numbers from
past shows that have won awards in intercollegiate competition.
Numbers to be included are: "H.M.S. Pinafore," "Indian Hunt,"
"Roman Soldiers," "Spirit of Nefrotete," and "Swimnastics."
' DIPLOMAS WILL BE awarded to 181 new doctors at 8 p.m.
Friday, June 9, at the medical school's Class Day Ceremony and
Honors Convocation in Hill Auditorium.
University Vice-President Marvin L. Niehuss will preside at
the ceremony. Deaf William N. Hubbard of the medical school
will present awards and administer the Hippocratic Oath. The.
main address will be given by Charles L. Hudson, M.D., president
of the American Medical Association. He will speak on the topic,
"Expectations for the Future."
The seniors graduating with distinction are either in the
top 10 per cent of their class in academic standing, or are cited
by the faculty. Dean's Awards will be presented to the five top-
ranking seniors.

Voting Low
The voting record is bad in the
seventh ward. The people said
they have faith in democracy as
an ideal but not as it is practiced
now. There is great belief in the
power of the President; they think
that "he could do something about
all this if he wanted to, but he
doesn't want to." Voter registra-
tion is lowest on the list of priori-
ties at Freedom House.
"The government doesn't repre-
sent me. I don't have anything
against the Vietnamese." "Very
few Negroes come back from Viet-
nam, I'm not going over there."
"I'm fighting right here at Free-

not a democracy that sends all
that money over there and doesn't
spend it here. Tell LBJ that I'm
busy saving his daughters from
a riot."

its members to write their con-

After the establishment of the
Washtenaw County Community
College, the council held a "can-
didates night" to introduce the 36
candidates for the college's fifrst
board of trustees.
Continuing Membership
The council has also frequently
c o n d u c t e d "get-out-the-vote"
campaigns. Recently these cam-
paigns have involved school bond-
ing proposals and the establish-
ment of the Housing Commission.
The Citizen's Council has a
continuing membership of approx-
imately 300 families, and is gov-
erned by an eight-man executive
board consisting of five persons
elected by the entire council and
three persons appointed by the
five elected members.
