LXXVI, No. 13S ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1966 SEVEN CENTS SIX PAGES 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." TOMORROW: Is a House a Home? pen here attitude.

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." PROF.

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.

Nguyen Chanh Thi on March 10 gave the Buddhist leadership a pretext for the crisis which has continued ever since.

The action may have some con- nection with MSU's withdrawal of recognition of The Paper for the content of its last issue.

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. 4k
