"They're already beginning to

Guardsmen and machine guns...",
Last night's telephone interview
with University students currently
working for Cleveland's East Side
Community Union gave little in-
dication that the city's racial dis-
turbances would soon come to a
conclusive and satisfying end.
"The guardsmen may leave,"
said Stan Kaplowitz, '66, "but a

The people drew up a list of
demands which included the re-
quest of Wagner and McCormick's
resignations, more police respect of
residents, more supervised play-
ground facilities, more Negro po-
lice who better understand the
Glenville and Hough problems,
the extermination of the city's
rat population (a $3 million proj-
ect), more traffic lights on Lake-
view Ave. and better law enforce-
ment.
Ayers said, however, that the
Cleveland communities would not
be pacified with temporary solu-
tions to what he called "the long-
term problems of segregated and
inferior education, oppression, and'
exploitation."
He quoted one Negro woman
resident of the Glenville area as
explaining the situation this wav:
"Children grow upon Lakeview
Ave. in the midst of poverty and
ignorance. They know only frus-
tration and hate, and frustration
and hate can only be expressed
through violence. Slums are a vio-
lent situation in themselves and
cannot permanently be put down.
They will always continue to
seethe."
Ayers commented too that there
has been no outstanding Negro
leadership during the four days
of disturbances either from within
the rank and file of Negroes or
from without. "The only thing of
significance we've heard," he said,
"was the request of one Negro city
councilman for martial law." And
here Ayers added, "You don't oc-
cupy a really free people,"
Kaplowitz, Ayers, and other Uni-
versity students working in Cleve-
land this summer say they are not
afraid . . . just a little "nervous."
They see no political motives be-
hind the racial violence this week
. just a lot of frustration and
resentment.
"The weather is cool," concluded
Ayers, "and a breeze is coming
off the lake." But he doubted that
tempers would match weather
forecasts in Cleveland this wee-
end.

By PATRICIA O'DONOHUE
There are 50 French students

sities of Aix-en Provence and Mar-
seilles currently visiting the Uni-
versity. They were invited as part
of the Junior -Year Abroad pro-
gram co-sponsored by the Uni-
versity and the Universities of
Wisconsin and Aix.
In addition, there will be 10
members of the Aix faculty here
as lecturers, visiting professors and
teaching fellows in the fall.
This program offers 40 students
from Madison and Ann Arbor the-
opportunity to study at Aix en
Provence, France, for one year.
Prof. Michel Benamou, of the
French department and director
of the program said that an ex-
change of ideas and personnel has
accompanied the stay of the Jun-
iors abroad over the last four
years.
Dean Hill of Wisconsin ani
Dean James H. Robertson. asso-
ciate dean of the literary college
extended an invitation to 120 stu-
dents from Aix and Marseilles to
come to Madison or Ann Arbor.
The purpose of this invitation is
to establish a two-way bridge to
ipoethe prog;ramn.
Benamou said that the visit this
summer is intended to serve three
objectives:
-To repay the hospitality giv-
en our students in Aix and to
foster more of it.
-To acquaint the different
communities with each other, and
-To pave the way for a recipro-
cal visit next year.
Mrs. Clifford Miller, director of3
the Visitor's Program at the In-
ternational Center; Mrs. Ann De-
sautels, Mrs. Miller's assistant;
Dean Robertson and Benamou

WASHINGTON-STATE DEPARTMENT officials declined

There was unofficial speculation the seamen might figure in

with estimates that the strike against five major airlines could
last as long as another two weeks.

'U To Use
Power Gift
For Theatre
Decide To Construct
$4 Million Structure
With Donor Funds
By LEONARD PRATT
Co-Editor
The University, after almost a
year's hesitation, yesterday an-
nounced plans to use a gift esti-
mated at $1.3 million from Eugene
Power, a former Regent, toward
the construction of a $4 million
1,426-seat theatre.
It is anticipated that both pro-
fessional and student groups will
use the structure, the University's
first new stage facility in 35 years.
The building, is being designed by
Kevin Roche, John Dinkeloo, and
Associates, of Hamden, Conn.,
while the stage is being designed
by Jo Mielziner, of New York.
The project disappeared from
public view last September, when
an editorial critical of its finance
ing appeared in The Daily, The
editorial stated that the gift would
have meant the diversion of serce
University funds-to make up the
difference between Power's con-
tribution and the total cost-to a
nonessential project.
University officials say the fi-
nancing has changed since then.
Power's gift is now a part ofthe
$55 Million Fund Drive, from
which the additional $2.7 million
of the total cost must come before
construction can begin, Marvin L.
Niehuss, executive vice-president
explained yesterday.
The gift, made up of stocks, puts
the $55 Million drive at a total of.'
about $43 million, Niehuss said.
Plans call for the theatre to be
built on Fletcher Street, between
Huron and Washington Streets
facing Felch Park.
The theatre's stage will ccmbine
proscenium and thrust designs,
with either use being possible. Two
turntables will be included on the
stage.
An orchestra pit which can ac-
commodate as many as 52 players
is also called for.
Maximum seating capacity in
the plan is 931 on the main floor
and 495 in a balcony. Capacity will
vary depending upon -whether the
orchestra pit is used and upon the
arrangement of the stage. None of
the seats will be further than 67
feet from the stage.
Backstage facilities will include
dressing rooms, a shop, storage
space for sets and costumes, a
separate rehearsal room and a
green room.
The Professional Theatre Pro-
gram is expected to have offices
on the first floor of the building.
The University Musical Society
and such student groups as the
University Players and MUSKET
are also reportedly interested in
using the proposed theatre.
The above model is of the proposed new theatre building, to be financed by a gift of over $1 million from former Regent Eugene Power
and with funds from other private sources,
