Summer
Violence Explodes
With Little Warning
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the seond
of a four-part series on the state's
racial climate.
By GENE SCHROEDER
Associated Press Staff Writer
It was the summer of 1963, and
Michigan's racial scene was rela-
tively calm.
In Detroit, where about one-
third of the population is Negro,
w some 150,000 marchers walked
down Woodward Ave. in a peace-
ful demonstration. If trouble was
coming, many felt, it would be in
the Motor City.
On September 18, suddenly and
without warning, violence did flare
up. But the explosion did not
come in Detroit.
It was in Jackson, a city of
about 50,000 with an historic place
in the Negro fight for freedom.
The flareup took the form of a
rock-throwing student riot out-
side the ultra modern $3 million
Parkside High School. Jackson
had a few days of jitters before
the situation simmered down.
Thus--as it has come to many
unsuspecting communities - vio-
lence came to Jackson, once an
underground railroad depot for
fleeing slaves.
In the summer of 1964, Detroit
again basked in rdlative racial
calm.
And again violence struck.
This time it was Lansing,
where several hundred Negroes
staged a brief riot.
These unexpected outbreaks
shook up many residents of Mi-
chigan's outstate cities who had
smugly assumed an "it can't hap-
Lansing flareups, it is generally
conceded, were the usual tensions
and pentup frustrations among
Negroes over real or imagined
grievances.
"Patterns of discrimination and
second-class citizenship exist in
many Michigan communities to-
day," says Burton Levy, director
of community services for the
State Civil, Rights Commission.
"Slums, with disease, broken
families, school dropouts, and
large unemployment not only
waste our needed human resour-
ces, but produce a segment of the
population that naturally views
the policeman as the enemy'," he
adds.
The problems of law enforce-
ment in the Negro community fre-
quently boil down to charges of
police brutality on one side and
cries for firmer action to stem
rising crime statistics on the oth-
er.
Eighteen months after the
Parkside incident in Jackson, Earl
Miller was named Jackson police
chief. In a bulletin to all officers,
he declared:
"Any officer who w ,uld hit a
man just because he is a Negro,
or use more force than necessary
to effect an arrest because of the
subject's race, color, or creed is
a disgrace to the uniform and
should be dismissed.
"Verbal abuse is no less repre-
hensible than physical abuse. Im-
partial and equal application of
the law knows no color or race . , .
"All must understand that an
impulsive act - a thoughtless
act - can serve as a trigger for
a riot in an intense situation. We
must enforce the law - but with
no more force than necessary."
Today, according to Don Durst
of the Jackson Citizen Patriot,
race relations in the community
range from fine to good, depend-
ing on who is talking.
Chief Miller says, "Conditions
are good. Since I've been boss, I
have insisted that everybody be
treated the same, and it has
worked well. Our biggest trouble
is caused by outside Negroes -
from Ann Arbor, Battle Creek and
Ypsilanti - crashing local Negro
parties."
Other police officials echo Mil-
ler's sentiments.
Charles Southworth, Jackson
County undersheriff and spokes-
man for the department, says
there are no law enforcement
problems in the outlying areas.
"For example," he says, "a
year ago it was touch-and-go for
our officers when they appeared
at the Oak Grove Country Club, a
Negro-operated and supported so-
cial club southeast of Jackson.
"Today our men are welcome
there at any time."
Lansing's 7,000 Negroes repre-
sent about 6.5 per cent of the
population of the city. Some 700
of them took part in the 1964
riot in which Police Chief Char-
les Straiger was injured.
Lloyd Moles of the Lansing
State Journal reports the racial
climate appears to have improved
since then, probably because of
the work of the city's human
relations committee.
As in many Michigan commun-
ities, the most pressing problem
in the capital city is housing for
low income families.
Moles says the problem is be-
ing attacked from several angles
in a cooperative manner.
"The city has federal approval
for 500 units-300 for low income
families and another 200 for el-
derly-which is nearing the plan-
ning stage by architects," says
Moles.
As for handling racial flare-
ups, the Lansing Police Depart-
ment started a concerted train-
ing program of all officers for
riot duty about three years ago.
"This training paid off in a big
way at the June 1964 riot, which
could have led to serious injury
or deaths," Moles reports. "The
riot control method results in a
sealing offf of the affected area
and keeping out possible race
baiters."

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL officials were notified yesterday by
the federal government that the hospital is qualified to partici-
pate in the Medicare program. The action, anticipated for the
past few weeks, means the institution will be eligible to receive
federal payment for health services given to all patients covered
by the new Social Security Medicare act.

THE UNIVERSITY RANKS fifth in the nation of colleges
and universities to receive National Science Foundation Fellow-
)q ships and Traineeships for 1966-67, while it is second among all
state universities, announced Dean Stephen H. Spurr of Rack-
ham School of Graduate Studies.
The institutions having the largest number of all types of
NSF Fellowships and Traineeships are: Massachusetts Institute

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE PROFESSIONAL TIlE-
ATRE PROGRAM Robert C. Schnitzer announced yesterday that
the subscription enrollment for the Fifth Fall Festival by the As-
sociation of Producing Artists Repertory Company has estab-
lished a new record during the spring drive.
Already at 5.000, the advance sale for the coming autumn
season-which wili offer Helen Hayes and Melvyn Douglas as new
APA members-is 1,000 ahead of last season at this time, four
months before opening.
The Fifth Anniversary season of APA in Ann Arbor, prior to
its Broadway winter season in New York, is expected to reach a
sell-out subscription of 10.000 by the time the Festival premieres
on campus Septembeer 20.
A NEW MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY DEGREE has been
announced by Yale University to help solve the problem of train-
ing more college teachers in less time.
Dean John Perry Miller of the Yale Graduate School said the
degree will be awarded to students who have completed all re-
quirements for their Ph.D. except their dissertation.
The new degree will require two years of graduate work,
rather than the three to five years required to earn a Ph.D. The
M.Ph., as it will be called for short, will replace the traditional
master of arts and master of science degrees, usually attained in
one year of graduate work.
STUDENT ACTIVISTS rebelling against machine-like treat-
ment by campus administrations are equally machine-like in
their protests, a Stanford University philosopher said recently.
They exemplify in their own attitudes the very tendencies
they decry. This is the most alarming feature of the situaton,"
said Prof. Philip H. Rhndelander. "The process of depersonaliza-
ion has gone so far that those who protest it have been caught up
in it," he said.
"The students are experiencing and enacting what our au-
thors, playwrights, and poets have been pointing to for 20 years
or more. If we view the situation with alarm, we ought not to
view it with surprise. "And our concern-if we are concerned-
ought to be less for the student than for society itself."

president of the Michigan Council of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People. He was elected recently

President Will Ask

President Ed Robinson, '67, yes-
terday outlined what SGC will be
doing this summer and plans for
changes and expanded programs
in the fall.
One of the main prxojects,~ he
said, will be work on a plan which
will allow the SGC president to
present a report at Regents' meet-
ings. Robinson said he would be
working with Vice-President for
Student Affairs Richard Cutler
during the summer to formulatel
a formal request which would be
presented jointly by them to the
Regents.
The request will ask that. the
president of SGC be allotted a
specified amount of time at each
meeting, perhaps 15 minutes, to
keep the Regents informer, aboutI
the opinions and operations off
SGC, and through SGC, the opin-
ions and feelings of the student
body, explained Robinson.
He said the reports would in-
clude information on what SGC
is doing and why, what they are
doing with their money, particu-
lar problems facing SGC, and
opinions on matters of concern
to the University and the students
in particular.

Reliable sources said the new

Cao was the third man named

By MICHAEL HEFFER
The Paper, a student weekly
newspaper at Michigan State Uni-
versity has been "blacklisted" by
publishers and no one will print
it, Michael Kindman, editor,
charged last night.
The action may have some con-
nection with MSU's withdrawal of
recognition of The Paper for the
content of its last issue.
Kindman said he learned of the
"blacklisting" when he brought
materials for The Paper to its
regular publisher for scheduled
publication last night.
When he arrived the publisher
frdrl him-' 1)ithat he irefued ito
was told it took only 10 minutes
to make the decision.
He said observers at the meet-
ing told him the action was caused
by at least one, possibly two arti-
cles in The Paper's last issue. The
first was a cover of an "informal
talk" by Paul Krassner, editor of
the Realist magazine, Kindman
said. The other was a "discussion
of nudity," Kindman continued.
Prof. Frank Senger, chairman
of the Publications Board, when
called last night had no comment
on why the action was taken, but
suggested that anyone who read
the Krassner article would under-
staxnd theaction.
