Besides being a study of class consciousness and what produces it, a related problem, the political consequences of this class con- sciousness is investigated. It was found that class con- sciousness in workers can be de- fined as a mental state, running from those who were indifferent to those expressing militance and even egalitarianism. Formulating Hypotheses Leggett worked from three as- sumptions in formulating his hy- potheses: 1) That conditions which inten- sify class conflict would thereby intensify working class militance. 2) That membership in particu- lar ethnic groups, unions, and eco- nomic categories are potential sources of class consciousness, be- cause they intensify conflict be- tween working men and the busi- ness community. 3) That the presence of a highj degree of class consciousness] would prompt workingmen as a class to act politically in terms of their own class interests. Ten Hypotheses It was found when testing ten hypotheses, based upon the above assumptions, that the findings supported the assumptions. There were two major conclusions. First, it was found that themore affluent an ethnic group the less conscious it was of its class. "It was found that affluent (i.e., Germans and British,) industrial, (i.e,, Poles and Ukrainians), and proletarian (i.e., Negroes) ethnic groups expressed, in that order, progressively higher degrees of class consciousness even when one controlled for personal income," the thesis says. Class Consciousness There are four problems which face the Negro working man, which can in part account for his strong class consciousness: At the work place the lower so- cial status of the Negro often in- fluences the employer in the hir- ing, promoting, and firing aspects of his job; Negroes have problems in the areas of consumption, in that they often have the money, but are kept, from buying in most neighbor- hoods;i The blocked upward mobility for Negroes keeps those who are intel- ligent and educated from moving away from the working class, so they remain behind as spokesmen for Negroes on class-racial issues; The isolation of the homogen- eous Negro population, both spa- cially and socially, virtually elim- inates inter-action between it and the middle class. Second, "uprooted workers (i.e., born in agrarian regions) were more class conscious than workers born in industrial regions." Fewer Skills This is true because they bring with them fewer skills and ex- periences which might help them to deal with their environment. Consequently they -are readily ex- ploited during most of their work lives. This exploitation coupled with insufficient skills effective- ly limits their chances to obtain secure working class positions. We have too often, Leggett says, "un- derestimated the radicalness of the uprooted," He found that these two vari- ables, ethnicity and uprootedness) had a stronger impact on class consciousness, than variable usu- ally associated with the subject, such as union membership, skill level, employment status, and per- sonal income. The findings of the thesis are particularly interesting in noting that Marx dismissed the import- ance of ethnicity and uprootedness in his discussions of class. He be- lieved that the economic status of the workers determined the for- mation of consciousness of class. Capitalist System. Marx miscalculated. He expect- ed working class consciousness to increase as the capitalist system matured. The working class would become more aware of its class po- sition and a developing awareness would reflect the intensified char- acter of the class struggle. Leggett has commented, how- ever, that the working men in most of the advanced industrial socie- ties have been relatively lethargic concerning their class, and yet the working men in underdeveloped countries have worked for their class interests often at a revolu- tionary pitch. Marx anticipated the exact opposite. Class consciousness, it was found, is of little or no significance in predicting the political prefer- ences of Negro group members, al- though it is of some importance among whites, especially the un- employed. nsciousness With the Negroes, non-class considerations (i.e., civil rights) will work toward a Negro bloc vote rather than class considerations. Social scientists, as well as Marx,. have been oblivious to the implica- tions of the uprooted of our society as opposed to the prepared, Leg- gett points out. They have usually tried to ex- plain consciousness in the more traditional terms, avoiding in their study, ethnicity, and uprootedness as powerful determinants of mili- tant class consciousness among working men. Juniors Fill Co-op Roles By MARILYN KORAL Although most of the junior wo- men in jurisdiction of the Inter- Cooperative Council have not re- newed their contracts because of the senior apartment permissions, there are enough upperclass wo- men in the co-ops to provide ade- quate leadership, Zona Shiner, '62, personnel chairman of ICC, said recently. "The leadership roles which sen- ior women previously filled will now be filled by the juniors. "The major problem in running a co-op is continuity. If we get a group of sophomores who will stay the next year, there is no prob- lem," she explained. "We have been lucky this year, because, in spite of the fact that we lost quite a few juniors in Vail Co-op, there are enough 'co-opers' from the summer term coming back so that there will not be a continuity problem." A good deal of the leadership in ICC is done by men now. So the apartment permissions will have little effect on the ICC structure. Also, since this is the first year the permissions have been granted, the great number of girls leaving may not be indicative of future trends. There are factors such as apartment prices going up and apartment scarcity which may af- fect the number leaving in the future, Miss Shiner said. In the University co-ops there are few seniors and most of them are staying despite the apart- ment permissions, Assistant to the Dean of Women Charlotte Coady said recently. Relics Prove Ecuador Inhabited in 9000 BC RECALL EASTERN TOUR: Glee Club Prepares for Concert A rich find of obsidian tools in the highlands of Ecuador show that that land area had been in- habited since 9000 BS, said Wil- liam J. Mayer-Oakes, director of the Stovall Museum, University of Oklahoma, at a lecture yesterday. The unusual styles of the tools found at this cite, El Inga, dem- onstrate the good workmanship of these early men, Mayer-Oakes continued. Pointed Tools Long-stemmed, fishtail, and lanceolate pointed tools, scraping tools, and blades, were uncovered during the two expeditions to this site. Studies aren't complete, but they seem to show that there were two periods of occupation in this' area by ancient man, Mayer- Oakes explained. He further noted that the pro-- portion of blades discovered far exceeded that of either spear heads or scrapers. Bone Material A small, fragile cluster of bone material was also uncovered. May- er-Oakes noted that the lack ofI large quantities of bone materials is due to the destructive effect oft the acidity of the soil.4 Mapping of the area has dis-s closed many other promising sitesE in the vicinity, Mayer-Oakes con- cluded.C By MARJORIE BRAHMS After returning from its suc- cessful spring tour inrthe East, the Michigan Men's Glee Club imme- diately began rehearsals for its Annual Spring Concert Saturday at 8:30 p.m. in Hill Aud. During the yearly tour this spring, the Glee Club gave eight concerts in eight days covering five states. Included in the tour stops were Schenectady, Buffalo, Quin- cy, Mass., West Hartford, Sum- mitt, N.J., Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Akron: "On its tours, the Glee Club brings some of the Michigan spir- it to the places it visits," Keith Johnson, '62, outgoing publicity manager commented. The Glee Club has proved to be a fine rep- resentative of the University." Alumni Groups On these tours University alum- ni groups and local civic organiza- tions usually sponsor the concerts. At present the 70-man Glee Club is busy at twice weekly rehearsals in preparation for the upcoming' concert, Johnson said. This con- cert, the night before Mother's Day, is each year traditionally dedicated to the mothers in the audience. The Glee Club will begin with five traditional and sacred num- bers. "Shall I Sue?" arranged by Dr. Philip Duey, Glee Club direc- tor, will feature David Schwartz, '62, counter-tenor. This counter-tenor style of sing- ing was very well known in the 16th century but it is relatively unknown now, Johnson noted. Pianist Alan Gillmor, '63M, will perform Debussy's "Sarabande Prelude" from the "Suite our le Piano." Rachmaninoff's "In the Silence of Night" will be highlighted by Ron Jeffers, '65, tenor, Dmitri Tiomkin's "Green Leaves of Sum- mer" from the movie "The Ala- mo" will feature Steven Jones, '64, tenor, and Norman Brody, '64, baritone. "My Fair Lady" "With a Little Bit O' Luck" from Lerner and Loewe's musical "My Harvard Curator To Present Talk Miss Agnes Morgan, Assistant Director and Curator of Drawing at the Fogg Art Museum of Har- vard University, will speak on "Our Current Exhibition - A Genera- tion of Draughtsmen" today at 4:30 p.m. in Aud. B. Fair Lady" will be presented with Frank Kratky, '64A&D, tenor; Bri- an Forsyth, '62, tenor; and Michael Robbins, '64, bass. A Gershwin medley will conclude the, Glee Club portion of the con- cert. The "Key Changers," four members of the Friars who sing close harmony in the style of the Four Freshmen, will sing selected parts of the medley. To finish the evening the Glee Club will sing some favorite Michigan songs. The Friars will be featured sing- ing several arrangements for the first time. Return to Europe The Glee Club has been discuss- ing a return trip to Europe, John- son noted. The Glee Club has twice toured abroad, during the sum- mers of 1955 and 1959. At the 13th annual Internation- al Musical Eisteddfod in Llangol- len, Wales, the Glee Club won first place for male choirs among 18 competing groups from 10 coun- tries. Recently elected officers are Jack Ransom, '63, president, and Gerald Belcher, '63, vice-president. W. J. MAYER-OAKES ... highlands of Ecuador To Hear Lecture By Stinchcombe Prof. Arthur Stinchcombe of the Department of Sociology, Univer- sity of Chicago, will deliver a lec- ture at the sociology colloquium at 4:15 p.m. today in Aud. A. He will speak on "The Social Base of Hier- archial Conservatism." The lecture is under the auspices of the sociology department. COMMUNICATION CHANNELS: Abrams Heads Folk Music Congress By JEFFREY K. CHASE The collaboration of Howard Abrams, '62, and Mike Fleischer of the University of Chicago, has resulted in the formation of a Na- tional Folk Music Congress, whose prime function is "to help preserve and promote traditional folk music forms." This organization will "formalize the channels of communication" between folk music societies of col- leges across the United States, Abrams explained. It will coordinate programs of research into the history of folk songs and folk singing, help new societies get started and will help them book artists for concerts. When artists are offered a series of perforamnces, rather than Just one concert, theyusually lower their price per- appearance. This will benefit all of the societies, Abrams says. The experiences of the societies will be shared with present and future leaders through reports, which will be written about the activities and problems of the functioning societies. In this way, one society can learn from an- other's mistakes and can gain use- ful ideas from another's successes, Abrams said. Most of the folk music societies belonging to this congress are on college campuses. The congress cannot order these individual so- cieties, but can only suggest to themand help them in the ful- fillment of their activities. Constitutional Ratification The constitution, which was drawn up at the convention at the University in April, is now in the process of being ratified by the in- dividual societies. The first as- sembly, which is planned for early September, will probably be held in Chicago. The idea of this congress ger- minated about a year ago, but it did not begin to take shape until February when Abrams and Fleis- cher met in Chicago with delegates from many societies to arrange the convention. The officers are Abrams, presi- dent; Marty Weisskopf of Oberlin College, vice-president; and Kit Kollenberg of the University of Chicago, secretary-treasurer. ~4M DID Y~OU KN IOWT 4 there's a GARDEN cit the League MC A M" vrM xvwr..
