'OREIGN STUDENTS:
Abrams ExaminesProgram

De Grazia Views Change
To 'One Man, One Vote'

CANOES, COVERED WAGONS:
Spring Weekend Brings 'Old West' Air

By LOUISE LIND
"Much emphasis is laid on pro-
gramming activities for the inter-
national student because his short
stay in a foreign country allows
little time for developing a mean-
ingful, cross-cultural program,"
Howard Abrams, '63, said recently.
Speaking at the United States
National Association-Internation-
al Student Association, Abrams
said this was necessary to break
the usual feeling of isolation and
alienation from the American stu-
dent community and from Ameri-
can society as a whole.
,Thus, he pointed out, most pro-
grams have two goals in common:
the establishment of increased
communication on an individual
and institutional basis and the
breakdown of the foreign stu-
dent's estrangement.
Abrams analyzed two operating
programs, one sponsored by US-
NSA offering full scholarships to
15-20 foreign students based on
leadership and the International
Brother Program, sponsored by
the Michigan Union and Women's
League.
Pell EXplains
Corps Value
Special To The Daily
WASHINGTON-The proposed
Youth Conservation Corps is "de-
signed to develop marketable skills
in those who enroll in it with an
aim toward employing these young
people within the community,"
Sen. Claiborne Pell (D-RD said
recently.
Speaking to a United States
National Student Association Con-
ference on. the National Service
Corps, Pell attempted to explain
Senate bill S1, proposing a YCC
and a Hometown Youth Corps.
These programs, unlike the pro-
posed National Service Corps, is
not designed to use the skills of
college students. In fact, the pro-
grams are designed to train young
men in the YCC and young men
and women in the hometown corps
to develop skills which will make
them employable. It is also aimed
at aiding the high school "drop-
out" and encourage him to "re-
sume and maintain school attend-
ance."
"There is no question that a
problem of major importance
exists. This is a human problem.
It is an unpardonable waste of
our most precious resource -
people," he explained. %
While he noted that the "Youth
Employment Opportunities Act
(S1) is not the alchemist's dream
come true," he saw it as a part
in a widespread program aimed at
the youth of the nation.

While he criticized the USNSA
group for its "elitist" aspect, its
"semi-manipulative approach to
human beings," and its inability
to, be administered on a broader
scale, Abrams emphasized that
"anything of this intensity, if it
is to have any degree of success,
must specialize and cannot be
operated on a broad scope."
Viewing the International
Brother Program, he indicated a
few of the problems the organiza-
tion is faced with.
"The Americans participating in
this program have not been equip-
ped to handle their end of the
bargain," he said. "The interna-
tional student is too often viewed
by Americans as a person of little
complexity, which he certainly is
not. Students here must learn how
to deal with him."
Structure Problems
Then too, Abrams noted, the
very structure of the American
campus presents a problem to
such programming organizations.
"The American campus, where ac-
tivities like Michigras and Spring
Weekend draw the biggest groups
of participants, represents a post-
adolescent culture," he said.
"The international student is far
more mature and sophisticated
than the average American stu-
dent. He is often a graduate stu-
dent, thus operating on a different
level than the groups who would
draw him into their activities. He
cannot be asked to regress, to take
part in Homecoming and .other
such activities that operate at a'
level he has passed."
Other problems the foreign stu-
dent finds on the American cam-
pus, Abrams noted, are ones re-
sulting from racism. Some of these
are illustrated by the difficulty of
procuring suitable housing and the
proposal of dating American stu-
dents.
Success Possible
Despite these problems, Abrams
maintained that he still thought
successful programming is possible.
"The basic thing to look for in
programming events in which both
American and international stu-
dents will be involved is that point
where there is a coincidence of
needs and desires-an overlap of
mutual interests-as in the World
University Service," he comment-
ed.
In the afternoon session, a panel
discussion of the strengths and
Potter To Speak
At Voice Forum
The sixth Voice Forum on
American Society will be held at
8 p.m. today in the Multi-purpose
Room of the UGLI. Paul Potter,
Grad, will be speaking on "Uni-
versity Reform."

HOWARD ABRAMS
. .. Americans immature
weaknesses of programming at the
University pointed up several areas
in which improvements could be
implemented.
One such area was the ISA it-
self, and one of the members of
its staff pointed out that "the ISA
is not drawing fully on its re-
sources."
Coordinate Contact
A second method of improving
programming at the University
would be to more closely coordin-
ate the contact between University
departments studying special areas
and foreign students, the panel
agreed.
Finally, greater communication
and coordination among the
groups currently working on this
campus with foreign students was
cited as a way to improve Uni-
versity programming.
It was suggested that one in-
dividual be appointed by Student
Government Council to coordinate
these groups, including the League,
Union, Assembly Association, ISA,
NSA, Junior and Senior Panhel-
lenic Associations and residence
halls. This individual would ibe
selected on a semester basis and
would replace the now defunct
SGC International Relations
Board.
The committee was composed of
members and representatives of
the ISA, Panhel, Assembly, Union,
USNSA, SGC's USNSA committee
and nationality clubs.

By THOMAS DRAPER
We are in the midst of a
sweeping tide to alter all repre-
sentative systems in favor of a
single 'one man, one vote' doc-
trine, Prof. Alfred de Grazia of
New York University said yester-
day.
This single doctrine of repre-
sentation is a misinterpretation of
history and reflects the failure
of the understaffed field of po-
litical science to adeouately han-
die the theory of representation,
Prof. de Grazia, editor of "The
American Behavioral Scientist,"
said.
He said that the Supreme Court
ruling in Baker vs. Carr (estab-
lishing that equal representation
is a judicial end not political
issue) may well prove to be
"watershed of future constitu-
tional reform."
Pillars of Federalism
"Federalism rests on several
,illars," Prof. de Grazia said.
Among these pillars are an inde-
pendent federal and state police
force, courts and legislative power
Creal Rapped
On Inaction
By Schneider
Dr. Albert F. Schneider, candi-
date for mayor of Ann Arbor, said
recently that incumbent Mayor
Cecil 0. Creal has not worked
hard enough to obtain sufficient
funds for the University's opera-
tion.
Schneider hit Creal for his hes-
itancy to criticize the groups in
Lansing responsible for University
appropriations. He noted that
more money would make year-
round University operations pos-
sible and cited the benefits such
a plan would bring to Ann Arbor.
He claimed that Creal had "rap-
ped the Democratic State Admin-
istrative Board for its willingness
to discriminate against the Uni-
versity" and had released a state-
ment saying that he would "not
hesitate to act at any time when
the vital interests of the Univer-
sity and the city are at stake."
But, said Schneider, "is it the
change in party affiliation of the
governor which causes his present
inaction?'

to pursue their goals in the ma-
ner they see fit. The last of these
is undermined by the Baker vs.
Carr decision.
The power of the state and fed-
eral courts is at stake in this de-
cision, he said. "The Attorney
General and President John F.
Kennedy have been doing what-
ever possible to enforce a decision
that assumes for the federal gov-
ernment state legislative and judi-
cial authority.
The form of representation in
the states should be determined
independently by the state gov-
ernments, Prof. de Grazia said.
Representation System
Posing the question, 'What
form of representation do we
want?" Prof. de Grazia suggested
the following guide line for a rep-
resentation system.
"We need representatives from
geographic districts w i t h o u t
quotas given from an area.
"We need occupational repre-
sentatives. This is an important
and viable constituency. We ask
responsibility from this grouping
yet deny representation.
Muster Votes
"We need a group of free rep-
resentatives that are elected at
large. This would allow the elec-
torate to muster votes around a
single man or idea."
Prof. de Grazia said that such
a free constituency representative
system would create a great in-
crease in participation and in-
terest in state politics.

Michigall Bell makes few moves in Southfield without
consulting Engineer Cal Crimp (B.S.E.E., 1957). Cal
makes studies on where to put new central offices, how to
expand old ones, what switching equipment to order.
To make these decisions, Cal must interpret forecasts
of customer growth. He must also know his equipment and
operating costs closely. Such responsibility is not new to

him. On an earlier assignment, for instance, he skillfully
directed a drafting section of 32 people.
