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.

A $56,000 BOOK GIVING an eyewitness account of Ferdi- nand Magellan's voyage around the world was acquired for the University's Clements library. The book, written by Pigafetta, an Italian sailor, was published in Paris in 1525. It was purchased with funds raised privately by the Clements Library Associates 4t a New York auction this week. Only six other libraries in the world own the book. Pigafetta, a Venetian, accompanied Mag- ellan as a volunteer and kept a journal of the voyage from 1519 to 1522" WASHTENAW COMMUNITY COLLEGE should begin plan- ning a third campus by 1980, an educational consultant told the WCC Board of Trustees last night. The trustees were told that the school could have 16,000 students by 1980. Projected enroll- ment for the new college is 7,000 in 1970. FIVE BIG TEN SCHOOLS are participating in a program to acquaint staff members of five other midwestern colleges in the techniques of operating large universities- Financed under a $77,310 federal grant, the program is run on an intern basis, with instructors from the smaller schools serving on internships at either Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan State. The grant was issued to the Institutional Research Council of Eleven, an organization com- posed of the Big Ten universities and the University of Chicago.

Rochester's- Radical Theologian Hamilton Delivers Eulogy on God Deadline On SGCPetiitons Approaches 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. By NEAL H. BRUSS. Death of God theory may allow man to "walk barefoot into ,reali- ty," continue to attack idolatry, and take a new opportunity "for the serious work which has to be hdone," according to William Ham- ilton, professor of theology at the Colgate Rochester Divinity School. 'We are learning," Hamilton said, that we are fated to be liv- ing at a time of the Death of God . . . when confirmatory evi- dence to this vision from unexpec- ed and interesting sources is coming in." Hamilton made the remarks last night in an address in Rackham Auditorium during a public session of the Conference on Radical Theology, currently being held at the University.

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 F not;" that 'faith in God was in- nocent foolishness . . . and now is a serious mistake;" and that "He has permanetly withdrawn and we may not expect him back." He stressed, however, that it may be important to avoid all Death of God myths and use new understanding instead to justify new religious activities. Hamilton gave the second pub- lic address in the Conference. Sev- eral addresses have been delivered in the past two days of closed ses- sions in the North Campus Com- mons. Sections of the papers may be published by Bobbs-Merrill, J. J. Altizer, professor of religion on by the historical realization of the Death of God as the darkness before the dawn. Lest this interpretation seem too audacious," Altizer said,, "it .is proper to note that it is so pri- marily in the perspective of the Christian theological tradition, for it obviously shares much with both the great creations of modern vision and the purer expressions of mystical vision." at Emory University, Atlanta. "When we examine those pri- mary modern prophetic announce- ments of the Death of God," Alt- izer said, "we discover a remark- able and even ecstatic note of joy. "Although this joy is accom- panied by anguish and dread, by a realization that the Death of God ushers in a new darkness and chaos, a darkness which is the consequence of the disintegration and reversal of our history, it is nevertheless true that the great prophets of our time have willed the Death of God with all the pas- sion of faith. "Their is not a Stoic submission to the- iron laws of fate, or a mere acceptance of an obvious and de- monstrable truth," Altizer said "but rather the free and radical choice of 'a destiny which their choice itself unveils. "Even the night upon their hori- zon is a consequence of faith," Altizer said, "a faith daring to embrace the death of God as a redemptive event, and thus choos- ing to accept the night brought Tuskegee Students Apathetic on Rights, Favor Personal Goals By ROGER RAPOPORT 4 E (' k t E Uiy,o uu h iur~~ 1"evera 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?
