LXXVI No. 111 ANN ARBOR, MICHGAN, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1966 SEVEN CENTS EIGHT PAGES Sees Defacto Segregation Continumg 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."

Gary Robinson, '66, a member of the chess team, defeated all other competition in this large tourna- ment for master players in the midwest. The brochure of the Off-Campus Housing Office, which had been promised for the beginning of this semester, was recently sent to the printer. The finished copies are expected to be available to students within the next three weeks. G. Mennen Williams, undersecretary of state for African affairs, will give a speech at the University on Sunday, Feb. 27, Alison Atherton, '66, chairman of International Emphasis Month, announced yesterday. Williams will speak on "Recent Develop- ments in Africa." Other International Emphasis Month programs will include a panel on "Careers in World Affairs" on Mon., Feb. 21, and a speech by James A. Donovan, director of the United States Advisory Commission on International Education and Cultural Affairs, on Tues., Feb. 22. * * * * 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. * * * *Y Donal F. Klaasen has been named business manager of the Dearborn Campus of the University. Klaasen, who was assistant director and business manager of the University of Michigan 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 be explored in three Thomas M. Cooley Lectures at the University Law School February 22, 23, and 24. The lectures will begin at 3:30 p.m. in Room 100, Hutchins Hall. A critique panel of professors distinguished in the field of administrative law will conclude the lectures. This discussion will be held at 3:30 p.m. March 2, also in Room 100, Hutchins Hall. ** .* * 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. Lewyal Aid Unit Refuses 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." Deferment Change To Pressures 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 from Kennedy "as recently as two -Daily-Andy Sacks weeks ago" that pressure was be- ence was a major speaker during ing applied to the national Selec- y this weekend. tive Service office to bring about * a reversal of the reclassification decision. In light of this, he attri- buted the change in status to be due to the efforts of Senator Ken- nedy, and felt that the impetus for the change in status might have come from the national office.

He said that the present 3 billion figure is esti- mated by most reliable sources to double before the end of the cen- tury. The crisis in individual rights arises from the inability of production and food supplies to double as rapidly. Keating said that Thomas Mal- thus' formula made in 1800-that human populations tend to grow geometrically and food supplies only ari hmetically-has held true for the last 150 years. "In underdeveloped countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, where the leaders are talking of independence and a fierce nation- alism, population pressures are so acute that their people are now materially worse off than they were just a decade ago. As a con- sequence all the rights of individ- uals-the rights to food, clothing, housing, education and employ- ment-that we take for granted in this country no longer exist there." Dangers Hidden i In this country, the loss of con- I stitutional rights is not an evident 3 danger at present, but the crush of overpopulation may well signal an impending loss of the rights of the individual to "the good life," :, . .; y :.
