The major activities of the two newly-formed radical groups exemplifies the disagree- ments which caused them to split. The primary thrusts of Rad- ical Caucus action was an at- tempt to secure basic academic reforms - specifically the abo- lition of the language and dis- - tribution requirements. And attempting to achieve these goals, the caucus utilized a number of rather familiar and well-accepted tactics. First, there was an extensive petition drive which obtained the sig- natures of over 3,500 students opposed to the requirement. La- ter, there were a series of mass meetings which culminated in a non-disruptive sit-in in the office of literary college Dean William Hays. The tactics chosen by the caucus were not entirely suc- cessful, but the faculty was forced to take some action to reform degree requirements in the literary college. Although language and dis- tribution requirements were ul- timately maintained for the Bachelor of Arts degree, the faculty introduced a new Bach- elor in General Studies degree - which will not have either of the requirements - and insti- tuted a pass-fail grading op- tion for completion of the language requirement. Meanwhile-, SDS members WOW! A three-piece Treasure Chest chicken dinner, plus french fries, for only 79! Larger take-home orders also. Try a box soon!! @MILING PEEOY ERVICE West of Arborland were trying to organize in ano- ther way. Their first major move was a two-day class boy- cott during the November pre- sidential elections. The strike was marked by disruption of some classes in an attempt to gain support from students. But their was very little' favorable reaction to this tactic. . There did appear to be a good deal of support for SDS at one point - during a march on the h o m e of President Robben Fleming staged to demand an end to all war research at the University. The march drew about 2000 students. The next day - election day - some 400 protesters marched through Ann Arbor and then 200 of them staged a three-hour political discussion in the Ad- ministration Bldg. But despite the large num- bers of students who aarticipat- ed in these demonstrations, they did not appear to have any long- lasting affect on the University. Later in the academic year, SDS members staged a number of very small, disruptive activi- ties including the March 25 in- cident during which they locked a Naval recruiter in a room in the West Engineering building for five hours. Both the election day activi- ties and the lock-in point up the differences between SDS and Radical Caucus. While the caucus was scoring points and a limited victory on academic is- sues, the SDS actions seem to have had little effect. Perhaps this was because of the patient efforts of Radical Caucus to build support, con- trasted with the SDS concept that disruptive actions would find their own support. In fact, the recruiter lock-in has only resulted in the bring- ing of charges to Central Stu- dent Judiciary against several of the participants. The charge - brought by President Flem- ing - is t h a t SDS members broke rules of Student Govern- ment Council which ban disrup- tive demonstrations. The case will be heard in the fall. Despite the apparent differ- ences between Radical Caucus and SDS, there has been some talk of reunification of the two groups in some form. One proposal for the creation of a united radical front at the EUniversity has been suggested by t h e Independent Socialists Club (ISC) - a newly formed organization w h ic h includes some Radical Caucus members, notably Chester and Levine. ISC -- which Levine char- acterizes as a forum for debate and action on issues not direct- ly related to the University - has proposed the formation of a radical students union which would be m a d e up of all the radical groups on campus. Implementation of this pro- posal - or actual reunification of Radical Caucus and SDS - might again provide the Univer- sity community with a strong, multi-issue New Left group to fill the vacuum left by the death of Voice-SDS.

Out of the 35,000 students, there are -- by mathematics alone - many who share in- terests and favorite diversions. And as a result, there are all shades of political organiza- tions, sports clubs, singing and Idancing groups, and game- playing clubs. Still other organ- izations are oriented toward professional skills. More than" 75 student activi- ties are listed in the student directory every year, and there are other unlisted organizations as well, like the traditional vol- leyball games at Vail House, a student co-op.

The new Students Organized Agaminst Racism also focuses on social problems. And then there are a whole series of organizations which publish magazines or provide news and entertainment for the University.
