PST SADEy AWARDI "BEST Y15'UAL EFFECTS" the news today by The Associated Press and College Press Service THE COST OF LIVING rose another six-tenths of one per cent, the government reported yesterday. The hike is a continuation of the swiftest rise in living costs in 18 years, exceeded only by price hikes in the World War I and Korean War eras. The Labor department said the April increases mean that last month it took $12.64 last month to buy the same typical family purchases that cost $10 ten years ago. FURIOUS FIGHTING last week sent U.S. battle deaths to the second highest level of the year and more than double those of the previous week. South Vietnamese and enemy losses were also heavy. The U.S. Command said 430 Americans were killed and 2,185 wounded last week compared with 184 killed and 1,226 wounded the week before. The Command also reported 5,686 enemy troops were killed last week compared with 3,095 the previous week. This sent enemy battle deaths to 500,509 since the United States entered the War. * * * THE UNITED STATES said yesterday "a basis now exists for productive discussions of key issues" and the negotiators at the Paris peace talks opened debate on opposing plans. Later, however, both sides acknowledge they were unable to make progress. After the 18th full-scale session of talks which lasted more than four hours, Xuan Thuy, North Vietnam's chief negotiator said "Today the conference made no progress at all." U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge said evidence of the other sides desire to negotiate is "rather obscure." Tran Buu Klem, the chief delegate of the Viet Cong's National Liberation Front, accused the United States of rejecting "the most essential and fundamental points" in their 10-point plan. He in- dicated he would refuse to talk about any questions as long as the United States stuck to demands for a mutual troop withdrawal and opposed a coalition. * * * THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION yesterday announced an investigation to determine the legitimacy of rising car prices. The investigation will determine whether car makers and dealers are raising prices through gimmickry while telling buyers they are getting "the best deals ever." Hearings hve been scheduled for Sept. 16-17 to give consumers and representatives of the auto industry a chance to air their views. The FTC said manufacturers and dealers may have misled customers through deleting some equipment and redesignating once standard equipment as optional and through illusory advertising. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS in Maracaibo, Venezuela battled police yesterday for the second straight day. Nearly 2,000 students working in roving bands threw stones at 800 police and national guardsmen and set fire to cars with gas- oline bombs. The demonstrations have been an outgrowth of students' de- mands for academic and administrative improvements at th Uni- versity of Merida. At least 20 pupils have been injured so far. * * * CANADA announced yesterday that military deserters from the United States and elsewhere would be treated like other would-be immigrant. Immigration Minister Allan MacEachen told the Commons: "If a serviceman from another country meets our immigration criteria he will not be turned down because he is still in the active service of his country." MacEachen said in the past 15 months 72 Americans were allowed to stay in Canada, 27 more were being processed and seven applicants had decided to return to the United States. Friday, May 23, 1969 Ann Arbor, Michigan Page Three Students work against racism By JUDY KAHN Some students like to do something to solve the problems they study. Such a group is Students Organized Against Racis m (SOAR), a 25-member organi- zation formed last November. SOAR is an outgrowth of a special problems in psychology class designed to "make stu- dents aware of what psychol- ogy has to say-or doesnt' say about racism," says Beryl Brown, Grad an organizer of SOAR. . "The class makes students personally aware of the dynam- ics of their participation in the situation," she explains. Through a student organiza- tion, Miss Brown believes, both class members and other stu- dents interested in SOAR pro- FIRST IN CITY HISTORY: Chicsalary 0 teachersstrike for jects can work toward eliminat- ing white racism. n SOAR, plans, to expand its membership extensively in the coming year. All incoming freshmen will receive a letter telling them that "people on campus are concerned about racism." In addition, SOAR plans to present a play on activities day in September to dramatize the problems of racism. The psychology course will be offered again in the fall and will expand to eight or nine sec- tions of 12 to 15 students led by members of last semester's class. Only one section with 25 stu- dents existed then. Course work will consist of readings concerning racism and participation in ,at least one SOAR project. Since November SOAR has organized about 25 "confronta- tions" on racism which are sim- ilar to T-groups. The sessions usually begin with dramatic presentations or movies followed by group discussions. "Latent racist feelings" are brought into the open and ex- plored during these discussions," says SOAR member Carol Hol- lenshead. A variety of students have participated in the confronta- tions including members of the Residential College and the Pilot Program and students in dormi- tories, fraternities, sororities, psychology 101 sections and psy- chology and sociology courses in the education school. SOAR also has formed a com- mittee to communicate the im- portance of including racism as a study topic in existing educa- tion school courses. Miss Hol- lenshead says SOAR eventually would like all graduates of the education school to have studied problems of racism because of its importance to the education field. In conjunction with the In- stitute of Social Research (ISR), SOAR will conduct a survey to discover present racial attitudes at the University. Students, faculty and staff will be ques- tioned. Some students have complain- ed that money for the survey has come from sources desig-. nated for scholarships, Miss Hollenshead says. But Dr. Wil- liam Cash, coordinator of the Human Resources Program, says the money for the survey "is not money earmarked for scholar- ships." hikes, smaller classes SUPER PANAVISION'.

Keep America Beautifut '1pdvertising contributed Lor the public good MOSCOW (A') - An appeal is circulating privately here which contends that recent arrests of dissidents threaten a return to Stalinist terror and asks the United Nations to investigate "vi- olation of basic civil rights" by Soviet authorities. So far the appeal has been signed by 55 Soviet citizens. Its circulation coincided with a report from friends of scientist Ilya Burmistrovich that he was sentenced Wednesday to three years in a labor camp on a charge of spreading lies about the Soviet system. He reportedly lent friends copies of critical writings of Andrei Sin- yavsky and Yuli Daniel, two sa- tirists who have been serving terms in labor camps for more than a year. Their trial in 1966 stirred up protests both here and abroad. The appeal in circulation pro- tests the arrest two weeks ago of the best known Soviet dissenter, former Maj. Gen. Pyotr Grigory- enko, and the arrest this week of a fellow dissident, poet and tech- er Ilya Gabai. "These recent arrests force us to think that Soviet punitive ag- encies have decided to suppress once and for all the activity of people who protest against arbi- trariness in our country," the ap- peal said. "We feel that freedom to have and distribute independent con- victions has finally been placed in jeopardy," the statements adds. The signers said they were "deeply indignant over unceasing political persecutions in the So- viet Union, perceiving in them a return to Stalin's, time when all our country was in the grip of terror." The appeal listed recent trials involving intellectuals demanding free speech and "people seeking national equality and preserva- tion oft their national culture .. Jews demanding the right to leave for Israel . . . and believers seeking religious liberty." Addressing their petition to the U.N. Commission on Human 'Rights, the signers said: "We ap- peal to the United Nations because we have received no' answer to our protests and complaints which have been sent fver a number of years to the highest state and ju- dicial agencies of the Soviet Un- ion." The 55 signers included the most active members of a small protest movement which has grown smaller as a result of con- tinuing arrests and trials. BULLETIN CHICAGO (0)-Mayor Rich- ard J. Daley said late last night that a tentative agreement has been reached to end the strike by teachers. against the city school system. Daley made the announcement after six hours of meetings yes- terday in his offices with nego-, tiators for the Chicago Teach- ers Union and the Board of Education. CHIdAGO (R) - The public school system of the nation's second largest city,. with en- rollments totaling 600,000, was shut down by the first teach- ers' strike in its history yes- terday. Negotiators continued t a 1 k S. hopeful of an early settlement, but there was no indication that one was in the offing. Demands of the striking Chicago Teachers Union include a pay raise of $150 a month. The Chicago Board of Educa- tion said 5,331 teachers, or 2.7 per cent of the total, reported at school buildings and that teacher attendance was exceptionally high in schools were enrollments are largely black. School Supt. James F. Redmond, while cancelling classes yesterday f and today, had asked teachers to report to school buildings so he could estimate how many schools might be reolAned Monday. The union president, John ,. Desmond,' described the strike as 80 to 85 per cent effective and said: "25 per cent of the schools did not have enough students to hold classes. "They could not open classes Monday with the teachers in the buildings now." "If there is an agreement today or tomorrow," Desmond said, "the schools no doubt could be opened Monday." A long strike could be trouble- some for graduating high school seniors. The school year, including examination sessions, is scheduled to end June 27. The seniors need 12 more cfass days to meet the state's minimum requirement of 176 days for an academic year. The union's demands for more money for the 23,000 teachers is complicated by the system's deficit for the second half of this year. The teachers also want a guar- antee of no layoffs in September and a limit on class size. Going to London?'
