COPI A new political party organized to oppose what its members call Student Government Council's "inactivity" will seek temporary recognition as a studentorgani- zation at tonight's. SGC meeting. The party, "Governmental Re- vision of University Policy," has entered nine of its members in the forthcoming SGC race, with hopes of gaining a majority on Council. GROUP President Rob- ert Golden, '67, who will oppose SGC Executive Vice-President Gary Cunningham, '65, in the contest for SGC president, said yesterday that SGC has failed to echo student desires and has failed to act upon student needs. Golden blamed "inertia" for "SGC's unwillingness to take nec- assary action and to follow its resolutions." He maintains that SGC has the power to activate and mobilize the campus on im- het 't rialI LIs Plans Date for portant issues, but hasn't taken advantage of this power. The GROUP membership is "po-l litically unaligned," according to the preamble to its constitution, By JULIE FITZGERALD and believes "students should have a say in making rules that di- Human Relations Commission rectly affect them."

"Aligning programs and projects to these general goals of the new administration" was the purpose of the meeting, according to IFC President Richard A. Hoppe, '66. An executive subcommittee will be set up to determine a means for improving the academic standing of fraternities and their pledge classes. The senior officers also discussed raising of the grade- point required for initiation as an incentive for higher scholastic achievement and emphasized the importance of faculty advisor and tutor programs parallel to those found on other campuses. Counseling The new fraternity administra- tion made plans for a fraternity- presidents counseling training pro- gram' to equip presidents to coun- sel the men in their houses or re- fer them to the facilities available from the University. To increase the number of affi- liated men on campuses, the new administration plans to reorganize mass rush meetings, implementing visual aids. It proposes a stronger open rush in addition to partici- pation in summer orientation and use of vacation rush functions. IFC will also attempt to attract! new chapters to the campus. The new administration will suggest joint parties and com- bined pledge class community service projects as a means of fostering unity in the fraternity system. It will also make an effort to improve communications be- tween IFC and its member houses. Publicity A new publicity committee will function in achieving a working Athens, where technological slaves the things that are truly human. Harrington also advocated spend- ing $5 billion yearly for public works and government services such as the domestic Peace Corps and social work which "change the quality of human life by breaking with the old idea of the custodial care of the poor." Teachers' Aides He noted that the use of slum dwellers with only eight-grade educations as teachers' aides and social workers had been successful, and suggested that additional in- vestments in education could both fight poverty , and provide jobs for the poor. Harrington said he was .enthu- siastic about current proposals to combat poverty such as medicare, the Appalachia program, and the war on poverty. "But," he said, "too often they're only the be- ginning of the beginning." He added that "the government and the Ford Foundation gen- erally aren't going to finance the kind of radical change the prob- lem calls for. It will involve con- flict, not consensus, and political action to -change the government as well as support it." A new approach to poverty is necessary, Harrington maintained, because the country now has a new poverty problem. "Before, we had an expanding economy and minimal skill requirements. Automation Now, he said, "The poor cannot Lmove upward because the economy is becoming much more automat- ed. We now have two classes, the engineers and the janitors-but education has failed to keep, the pace.". He cited studies demonstrating that one quarter of those drafted into military service were reject- ed for "mental reasons," meaning that they had less than a seventh- grade education. "The studies showed they were the children of quite similar people," Harrington said. "Poverty in our society, in short, has become hereditary-and a dangerous situation is developing," he continued. "Although 20 per cent of the nation is living in poverty, over 25 per -cent of the nation's youth live in those pov- erty-stricken families. It's a fright- ing and complex problem." Harrington was introduced by William Haber, dean of the Liter- ary college. Introducing the sym- posium was University President Harlan Hatcher. With Haber on a "reactor panel" were Elton Mc- Neil, psychology professor, and William Morse, professor of edu- cational psychology. The organization would work to implement its program in the event that it achieved a major- ity on council. Golden admits that all GROUP candidates might not be elected, but said that "even if only two are elected we'll try again at the next election. Mean- while, those members of GROUP that do win seats on Council would work to get as much of our platform adopted as possible," he added. As a minority, GROUP council members would act as a "catalyst" on SGC, "stimulating the council to action," Ellen Buchalter, '67, contends. Miss Buchalter, who is vice-president of GROUP and is also running for council, said that GROUP has a "greater level of awareness" due to the fact that its members "are drawn from the fraternity and sorority systems as well as the University dormi- tories and off-campus housing units." Russell Linden, '68, GROUP member and SGC candidate, noted that there are "three major planks in the GROUP platform." He add- ed that "GROUP is not just com- plaining about the issues in their platform-we have methods pre- pared to implement our propos- als." Linden said that economic wel fare for the student is one of the major goals to be achieved. "The University must make a commit- ment showing that it is involved and will be responsible for the students' economic welfare," he said. One of the major proposals in this area would be that of re- questing the Regents to suspend the bylaw which prohibits the University from entering into competition with private rrrch- ants, Golden said. Then the Uni- versity would be free to open and operate a University Depart- ment Store, similar to Harvard' "Coop," maintained Golden. Contending that students are "grossly mistreated in the area of off-campus housing," Golden sug- gested that in order to "end the economic exploitation of the cap- tive housing market, the Univer- sity should look into the possi- bility of constructing low-cost off- campus housing." Academic reform, including such programs as working with already existing groups like the Literary College Steering Committee, and possible student initiation of courses, would also be stressed by GROUP, Golden said. Consider New Study Plans Student Government Council tonight will discuss the feasibility of administering a work-study program for students with finan- cial need. The federal government would pay 90 per cent of the program's expenses. Council also will hear reports on the progress of recent legisla- tion concerning the off-campus rental agreement and counseling policies in the literary college. Finally, SGC will act on sub- stituting an ex-officio member from the University Activities Center (the designation for the newly-merged Michigan Union and Women's League) for the two ex-officios presently representing these organizations on Council. stitutionality hearing on the city's Fair Housing Ordinance is March 12. The commission heard a report on its recent recommendations to City Council on the proposed amendments to the' Fair Hous- ing Ordinance. Municipal Court Judge Francis O'Brien decided that the ordi- nance was unconstitutional last spring. City Attorney Jacob Fahr- ner will appeal his decision in Washtenaw Circuit Court March 12. The legality of the ordinance was first considered last spring when Parkhurst-Arbordale apart- ment ,manager C. Frank Hubble was charged with violating the ordinanceiby allegedly refusing to rent a unit to a Negro. Cowley said the facts of Hub- ble's case may come up in the March 12 trial as well as the ques- tion of the legality of the ordi- nance. Hubble was been charged with two other violations of the ordinance since the initial one last spring. Commission The State Civil Rights Commis- sion is also considering Hubble'' violations. Cowley said the state CRC is in the process of reaching the public hearing stage for Hub- ble's three alleged violations. Chairman Paul Wagner told the commission that he reported last week to City Council the commis- sion's recommendations to the Fair, Housing Ordinance amend- ments. The amendments, proposed by First Ward Councilwoman Mrs. Eunice Burns, would extend the housing units covered by the ordi- nance, prohibit discrimInatory practices by real estate agents and prevent retaliation against persons supporting the ordinance. Wagner said he told council it was the commission's duty to rec- ommend any action it thought would improve human relations but it was not its duty to decide what was legal. He added he ask- ed council to eliminate bipartisan politics in its consideration of the amendments but that council "blew up." Candidate Mrs. Burns, who is also the Democratic candidate for mayor. was present at last night's meet- ing and said the amendments might come up for a first reading at tomorrow's council meeting. In other business, the Housing Committee reported that the low- cost housing problem was not e function of the commission but a function of City Council. Cowley said he was in the p;ocess of forming a committee of interested citizens on low-cost housing. "The community must face the problem, not just the Human Relations Commission,' Cowley added. Cowley introduced Henry Wal- lace, Grad in social work, to the commission. Wallace is a student assistant working on commission business two days a week as part of his Community Organizational training. Cowley also said the city hasn't formulated an anti-poverty pro- gram yet but that the county committee for this purpose is planning an organizational meet- ing soon. The committee wants to plan its program on a county-wide bas- is and provide a proposal to meet the needs of the people and fol- low national trends. By The Associated Press JACKSON - A federal- civil rights commission got off to a peaceful start with its first public hearing in Mississippi yesterday, but the violence of the last few months continued to mark voter registration efforts in Alabama. In Selma, Ala., a civil rights worker was struck on the mouth by Sheriff James G. Clark yester- day during a demonstration by about 25 Negroes outside the Dal- las County courthouse. A state investigator said the Rev. C. T. Vivian of Atlanta, an aide to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was struck after he called the sheriff a brute and said,, "'I know you want to beat me." Hospital Vivian, 40, was taken to a hos- pital where, a deputy said, one stitch was taken. Vivian was then taken to the Dallas County jail. Clark said he Aid Program Draws Pickets Right and left wing groups picketed the Ypsilanti Township Board of Supervisors when it met last night to decide whether or not they should support the grant for poverty program. The motion passed five to one in support of the grant, which falls under the provisions of President Lyndon B. Johnson's war pn poverty bill. Sixteen members of the Young Americans for Freedom picketed against the bill. They were coun- ter-picketed by a group consisting of 30 members of the Willow Run NAACP, the Willow Run Associa- tion for Neighborhood Develop- ment, the Independent Socialist Club of Ann Arbor and the Ann Arbor; Ad Hoc Committee for Sup- port of Economic Opportunity. The bill would sponsor study of' the community of Willow Run! Village as an example of how poverty programs will operate in similar communities around the country. charged Vivian with criminal pro- vocation and with contempt of court and that $300 bond was set on each charge. Clark, who had played a minor role during the past two days of a right-to-vote drive in the county, earlier had arrested more than 3,000 persons during the pre- vious four weeks of the voter reg-, istration drive. Although the registration board was not in session yesterday, Negroes continued to line up at the courthouse to get their names on the priority list for making application to register at a later date. 150 in Line Early in the day, about 50 per- sons were in line and it remained that way until shortly before noon, when about 100 more Negroes joined the waiting appli- cants. .hMeanwhile, dahearing of a charge of disorderly conduct against comedian Dick Gregory and seven other persons was post- poned until next Tuesday. The warrant was sworn out by the manager of the Holiday Inn motel. He said a disturbance broke out when he informed Gregory that the comedian's reservations for three rooms had been canceled. Also yesterday, two members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinat- ing Committee said they were beaten up while sitting in a park- ed car about a bl Dallas County cour FBI agents too from the two and sa gation was being m mine if any federal1 violated.

If this mot GOALS OF JOHN XXIII: Dearden Discusses Council's Emphasis o By KAY HOLMES The main reason great interest has been inspired in the Ecu- menical Council called by Pope John XXIII is that the emphasis has been on present problems rather than past judgments, according to Archbishop John F. Dearden of Detroit. Two significant accomplishments of the Council, approval of a new Constitution for the Church and debate over the issue of religious liberty, were discussed by Archbishop Dearden in a lecture in Angell Hall yesterday afternoon. Although voting on the documents on religious liberty has been nntnnned until the Council recnnvenes its discussion ha stimulated give outward expression to his con expression of his beliefs is correlate them.
