Enforce Civil Rights
Better than Capitol
By PHILLIP BLOCH
State Rep. Marvin Esch (R-Ann
Arbor) says he wants the Federal
Civil Rights law administered at
the local level.
In an interview Esch, the Re-j
publican candidate for second
Congressional district claimed that
"The federal government up to
now has only guaranteed legal
civil rights; however, we do not
guarantee actual civil rights," says
Esch.
"Evidence for this is the fact
that to date only 18 cases have
been tried under the 1964 civil
rights act, yet we all know that
the law has been violated count-
less times."
Plan
Esch offered a four-point pro-
gram of a better enforcement of
the civil rights acts :
-The establishment of local hu-
man relations commissions in all
major cities.
-The establishment of state-
wide human rights commissions.
-The organization of advisory
committees which would aid the
individual commissions.
-The creation of training pro-
grams which would instruct the
human rights commission mem-
bers in the specific tasks involved
in handling civil rights cases.
Goal
Esch says that the key goal of
his program is to open up the
channels of communications at
the local level between civil rights
workers and those involved in en-
forcing the civil rights legislation.
Esch also proposed that local
school boards be the governing
bodies which would handle the
programs.
"I don't see any reason to create
parallel organizations to do the
job of existing institutions," says
Esch. "The school boards are the
best governmental representatives
of the people living in the districts
which need the aid."
Cooperation
Esch thinks that there is a def-
inite need for cooperative poverty
programs between industries and
schools.
He feels that the non-college-
bound high school student needs
an improved technical education
which would prepare him for the
types of jobs available to him.
Esch suggests that this educa-
tion be handled jointly by high
schools and interested industries-
The Republican candidate also
sees civil rights enforcement as a;
program which should be admin-
istered at the local level.

4 IncuIbent Council
Members Announce
Intentions of Running
By JOHN MERI9DITH.
Associate Managing Editor
The deadline is rapidly ap-
proaching for students to an-
nounce their candidacies for the
six Student Government Council
seats at stake in the Nov. 16 elec-
tion.
Although no one has yet regis-
tered for the election, at least four
incumbent council members plan
to file for re-election before the
5 p.m. Monday deadline.
Incumbent Michael Koeneke,
'69, confirmed last night that he
will 'try to retain his seat, and
sources indicate that John Pres-
ton, '69- Michael Dean, '67, and
Bruce Kahn, '68, whose terms on
SGC also are about to expire, in-
tend to campaign this fall.
Won't Run
However, Patricia McCarty, '67
said yesterday she definitely will
not seek re-election, and two-term
incumbent Neill Hollenshead, '67,
has not yet announced his plans.
Dean was elected to a one-
semester council term last spring,
and Preston, Koeneke and Kahn
all were appointed to fill vacant
seats earlier this fall.
In addition to the incumbents,
SGC members expect several other
propspective candidates to regis-
ter Monday, in a last minute rush
often characteristic of past SGC
campaigns. They pointed out that
18 students petitioned last month
for the seats now held by Preston,
Kahn and Koenke, they anticipate
that some of these people will be
among those to file on the last
day. 1
At the moment, it appears that,
unlike the last several SGC con-
tests, candidates will not run on
party slates. REACH and SCOPE,
the two parties that competed in
last spring's election, both have
been disbanded, and to date no
students have announced their in-
tention to organize for the elec-
tion.
Full-Year Terms
All six terms are for one full
year. However, if a senior who will
not be at the University next fall
is elected, his tenure in office will
automatically terminate at the end
of the winter term. The vacancy
created will be filled in the spring
election, at which candidates for
the other elected SGC positions
will also be up for grabs.
In order to become a, candidate
in the fall election, a student
must register and pay a $5 fee at
the SGC offices before 5 p.m- Mon-
day, Oct. 31. The campaign will
officially begin at 9 a.m. Wednes-
day and will run until the night
before the election.
Candidates are also asked to
prepare platform statements which
must be submitted to election
officials by Nov. 7
Student Government Council
is currently in the midst of a
major controversy over its- rec-
ognition procedures for student or-
ganizations. The new procedures
were passed last month. Among
other things they would do away
withr the requirement for the fil-
ing of membership lists.
Vice-President for Student Af-
fairs Richard Cutler is currently
contemplating a veto of the ac-
tion. This week he asked SGC to
reconsider the new procedures.

Hamilton said that the radical
theologist is "the man who is try-
ing to make things Christian
without God." He said that the
radical theologist works at the
point of intersection of three
dialogues: "the black-white dialo-
gue; the dialogue of Catholic,
Protestant and Jew; and the be-
liever-unbeliever dialogue."
"Certain kinds of experience
which made it easy to talk about
God are taken away from us," he
said.
He stressed that a radical Chris-
tian will not call his "new dis-
covery" God because "he is too
respectful of the old God."
Divine Demise
Hamilton explained s e v e r a 1
theories of "the divine demise,"
i that "God once was and now is

we may not expect him back."

may be important to avoid all
Death of God myths and use new
understanding instead to justify
new religious activities.

"Although this joy is accom-

political groups on campus have
remained the same."
Mario Savio, leader in the FSM,'
provided a working basis for form-
ing the consolidation with his
statement, "Principles for the
Framework of Rules on Student'
Political Activity," outlining the
means of guaranteeing "maximum
political freedom on campus."
Many of these measures on the
part of both students and admin-
istration are being influenced by!
the Faculty Resolution of Dec. 8,,
1964.
Critics of the resolution say that
it has paved the way for imme-
diate acts of force and violence on
the Berkeley campus, and that
further steps in this direction may
result in making the American
ing examination,
Among the contemplated chang-
es is a provision that the lan-
guage requirement be on a "min-
imum" level rather than on a
"substitution-by-petition princi-
ple, and that the Graduate School
Executive Board establish mini-
mum requirements for all PhD
students.
Cognate
The graduate school is also con-
sidering making the requirement
for a cognate outside the field of
specialization independent of the
language requirement. Another
proposal is that the Graduate
School Executive Board establish
minimum requirements for all PhD
students and that departments add
requirements but not substitutes.
Also on the agenda will be a
A University philosophy profes-
sor reports a surprising lack of
civil right militancy among stu-
dents at a prominent Negro col-
lege, Tuskegee Institute in Tus-
kegee, Ala.
Prof. Arnold Kaufman, who
taught at Tuskegee during the past
academic year, said students at the
college generally "don't think in
very radical or novel ways" on civil
rights.
"While there is 'a small core of
;militant students," says Kaufman,
"the mass of them are apathetic."
He said that they will mobilize
on civil rights only in crisis situa-
tions. For example, when one Tus-
kegee student was murdered in a
racial incident, the students staged
a number of demonstrations. "But
"Because of this attitude, they
fear that civil rights militancy
could endanger their future career
success."
Kaufman says this attitude is
fostered by the university admin-
istration which "discourages civil
rights activism because it would
interfere with ones 'proper' edu-
cation."
Kaufman says that the "Negroes
are emerging from a time of op-
pression. Frightened people don't
think in very radical or novel
ways."
Generally, he explains, the stu-
dents are trying -to get away from
their backgrounds. "When stu-
dents were taken in a special pro-
ject to aid poor Negroes some of
them refused even to get out of
the car," says Kaufman. "Getting
Kaufman, "I was reminded of a
line in Ralph Ellison's 'The Invis-
ible Man-' Ellison talks of the fam-
ous statue at Tuskegee of Booker
T. Washington lifting the veil off
the Negro. I always wondered
'whether he was lifting the veil
off or putting it back on.'"
Kaufman thinks the Tuskegee
students are in for a shock when
they leave school. "They will find
that their expectations will not be
met. They have accepted a cer-
tain rhetoric, but social reality
won't fulfill those expectations. As
these and other Negro students be-
gin seeking good jobs, housing and
schools, relatively few will find
themselves accommodated. Scott
Paper may hire five Negroes for
an office of 500. But do you think
they're going to hire 50?"
Kaufman predicts that this frus-
fected by the aftermatn o tne
1964 Faculty Resolution "that the
content of speech or advocacy
should not besrestricted.. ."? How
can the administration and the
New Left achieve a niore work-
able relationship? In what direc-
tions will radical efforts be chan-
neled in 1966?
SDS Big Power
"gtStdents for a'TDemocratic So-I
A former Professor of Philo-I
sophy at Berkeley, Lewis Feuer,
charged in a recent article for the
Atlantic Monthly that it signified
a caputulation to the student ac-
ivist in the eyes of the moderate
liberal student body, and that the
alienated left acquired "... a curi-
ous exemption in the university
from any laws of morality." The
tends, "and more and more of,
them would rather go home andE

Evidence does suggest that po-
litical activity this year will neveri
equal that of the great studentt
uprising in 1964. Last week, thef
New Left students party, Slate,j
was dissolved by its membership.
