Mlorsell Says Negro
Schools Need Not Be +
Inferior Institutions
By STEVE WILDSTROM
Defacto segregation will not end
in this generation or the next,
John Morsell told the University
Republican Club's conference on
civil rights yesterday.
Although dfacto segregation inI
housinguand in schools may per-
sist for some time, he said, there
is no reason that children cannot
receive good education in pre-
dominately Negro schools.
Morsell, assistant executive di-
rector of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People, spoke on the problems of
{ Negroes in Northern urban cen-
ters.' "The agony of Northern and
Western cities has its roots in the
failure to find racial justice in the
South. Almost all Negroes now liv-
ing in the North were either born
in the South or are the children
of Southern parents," he said.
"The North dug this hole for
itself by turning its back on the
South and the newly freed Negro
in 1876. If the North had remained
true to its trust, we would not be
facing nine-tenths of the problems
cities face today."
Morsell cited the lack of co-
hesiveness in the Negro family as
a major source of urban unrest.
Vivian Speaks
Speaking at the same session,
C. T. Vivian, director of economic
affairs for the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference (SCLC)
and assistant to Martin Luther
King, talked about the problems of
social organization in Chicago.
Working on a base contributed
by Saul Alinsky's work in Chicago,
King and the SCLC are attempting
to weld the Negroes there into a
politically potent force.
"The Negro is caught in a great,
gigantic cycle," Vivian said. "If
you are born in a slum, you have
a second rate education. If you
have a second rate education, you
have a second rate job. If you have
a second rate job, you and your
children will continue to live in
the slums."
Beyond Negro Community
Vivian said that the problems
his organization is concerned with
go well beyond the Negro com-
munity. "When we are talking
abont slums, we are talking about
the kind of policies that decide
where you will live and what kind
of job you will have."
He added, "As we raise issues in
Chicago, we are able to get sup-
port beyond just Negro support
because the issues we deal with
are not only Negro issues."
Vivian said that yesterday the
0 issue in civil rights was public
accommodations, but today the
emphasis has swung to economics.
He claimed that in addition to
being given a second rate educa-
tion and earning only two-thirds
as much as other Americans, the
Negro in the "ghetto" pays higher
44 prices than the non-slum dweller.
"There is a color tax on every-
thing the Negro buys."

The fourth edition of The Stock Market, a book which is
co-authored by a University professor and his son, has recently
been published by the McGraw-Hill Book Company. The volume
has been completely revised by Wilford J. Eiteman, who teaches
at the Business Administration School, his son David K. Eiteman,
who is an associate professor at UCLA, and Charles Dice, who is
a professor emeritus at Ohio State University.
There have been notable additions since the book's initial
publication in 1926. A section has been added on foreign stock
exchanges, and the treatment of the New York Stock Exchange
has been revised. As a result the book is technical enough to be
used as a reference book by stock exchange officials, while at
the same time is readily understandable for the reader who
knows relatively nothing about the stock market.
The Washtenaw County Citizens' Committee for Economic
Opportunity has been awarded a grant from the Office of
Economic Opportunity totaling $14,147, as the federal con-
tribution to the cost of "Operation Medicare Alert." This program
is designed to bring information about the new medicare program
to senior citizens throughout the county. A number of volunteers
will work with paid employes of the County Committee in dis-
tributing this data.

Press, assumed his duties on February 1.
A group of University students have formed a group calling
themselves "Students for state Senator Gil Bursley for U.S.
Senator." The chairman of the group, Kenneth L. Yeasting, '67,
said in announcing the formation of the group that "Gil
Bursley's deep interest and extensive knowledge of the problems
of Michigan as well as his 15 years of foreign service for the
federal government' qualify him as an outstanding candidate
for U. S. senator."
-"Politics and the Independent Regulatory Commission" will

A National Science Foundation report of scientific and
engineering manpower in Communist China, in the years since
the establishment of the Communist regime in 1949, lists Uni-
versity degree holders as the prominent scientists there.
Three members of the Chinese' Academy of Sciences board
of directors in 1963, the final year of the study, have received
degrees from the University; 21 of the leading scientists and
engineers listed in the report also hold University degrees.

Clinic Talks
Board of Trustees
Rejects Meeting With
County Committee
By LYNNE ROTHCHILD
The Board of Trustees of the
Legal Aid Society, the policy mak-
ing body for the group, has stated
that it will not meet with the
county's Economic Opportunity
Committee under terms specified
by the committee.
On January 4 this committee
approved the society's application
for federal funds by accepting the
structure of the group.
At the next meeting, however, a
motion was passed to reconsider
this acceptance on the grounds
that the Board of Trustees did not
include adequate representation
frohi the low inicome community,
the group served by the society.
Reversal came after discussion by
law students, members of the pov-
erty class, and other interested
groups. None of the practicing at-
torneys on the board attended.
Representatives of these groups
were asked to "negotiate a settle-
ment acceptable to all parties,"
and to report to the committee at
a meeting next Tuesday.1
J. J. Hller, president of the
board, in a letter to all the mem-
bers of the committee explained
that the board would not concur
with the committee's request to
have the entire board meet with 1
law students, representatives of
the poor and an arbitrator.
The board's counter proposal of
having three board members meet
with three members of the com-
mittee was not acceptable to Elrie
Chrite, staff director of the com-
mittee.
The letter stated that the board
has repeatedly agreed to demands
formulated by the committee, and
it is dismayed by the reversal of
the approval of funds for the
clinic.
The trustees voted to close the
Legal Aid Clinic next week if they
have not received $2",000 with
which to pay part of their bills. If
the clinic is closed, the program
will be operated through the of-
fices of private attorneys. This will
probably result in reduced par-
ticipation by the University's law
students.j
The letter summarized the
Board's position: "We hope you are
willing to place the welfare of
the poor people of your commu-
nity first and reconsider your re-
consideration of our application."

Complained ini Letters
To Draft Board and
Local Congressmen
By HARVEY WASSERMAN
It was learned yesterday that
George Steinitz, '66, has become
the second reclassified Viet Nam
protestor to have his 2-S draft
status reinstated.
In a taped interview with
WCBN radio, Steinitz said he re-
ceived notice of reclasification last
December from his local Valley
Stream, N.Y., draft board. At that
time, he said, he, his parents, and
fellow protestors sent letters regis-
tering their complaints over the
reclassification to cong resmen
from their local district. Steinitz
said' they soon received replies
from many of them, including
Senator Robert Kennedy (D-NY),
indicating that they were "mak-
ing efforts to be helpful."
Steinitz said he received word

decision. In light of this, he attri-

due to the efforts of Senator Ken-

for the change in status might
have come from the national
office.

the present 3 billion figure is esti-
mated by most reliable sources to

tury. The crisis in individual
rights arises from the inability of

Keating said that Thomas Mal-

for the last 150 years.
"In underdeveloped countries in

acute that their people are now
