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. Exchanwve - --- - ---------- -- - Group Here Nir Miktgat aily From France NEWS WIRE Faculty from Aix, Marseilles To Lecture in Summer, Fall By PATRICIA O'DONOHUE There are 50 French students and 10 professors from the univer- 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 worked together to insure both that the visiting professors and students would have places to stay and would enjoy an eventful visit.

I I 1 1 r I I S i 1 1 t 1 i 1 i '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, MEETING COSTS: Cleges Try oint Operations in EfJfort To Keep Expenses Down By SHIRLEY ROSICK A prime example of the trend is campuses in the 1964-65 period. tatives from their institutions to To hold down costs and at the the Committee on Institutional Wisconsin sent 19 students to study the plan for pooling re- same time provide better instruc- Cooperation, based at Purdue Uni- other campuses.
