Strangely, the difficulty arose at a long meeting held immediately after a press conference where the University delegation to an 'academic lobby' on Washington underlined the need for direct action in programs like the proposed teach-in. It arose when 30 committee members discussed the practicability of the Washington, D.C., teach-in which it tentatively announced Adebo added that "political in- dependence is a shame unless it results in the development of in-I dividuals. It is only the means to an end." He said that in order to raise the standar-ds of the African peo- ple, African nations not only must be given freedom, but also must cooperate with each other. Colonial System Vestiges of the colonial system have left Africa divided into small units and created vested interests, he explained. Thus, African merg- ing is a difficult process. Adebo cited the Organization of African Unity as a step towards pan-African cooperation. The or- ganization has settled territorial disputes and improved communi- cations, and, while it does not. have a record of continuous suc- cess, it is "tackling problems with perseverence and energy," he said, Adebo noted that the relation- ship of the UN to African aspira- tions is largely governed by ac- tions and attitudes of -powerful non-African nations. Value of UNI "I have no doubts of the valueI of the UN to small states, but I hope the great states have no doubts about its value to them- selves," he said. The right and duty of the United States is to "inform us of the merits of your case and let us decide for ourselves," Adebo said. "What is wrong is to suggest that the American way of life is per- fectly suited to Africa." Adeba said that 1965 is an im- portant year for the UN and that we should not despair about the state of world affairs. "The world is no worse today than it used to be. Our conscience is simply more tender because of our aim to pre- vent war. The UN has been largely responsible for this sensitivity," he commented. meunueu iauus, yeser ay ueiie re Ky1U, uia i ,~ ....,..

Although nothing was decided at the meeting, group members were considering serious changes inthe proposedprogram. "The question was not of the wisdom of the teach-in," explain- ed Prof. William Gamson of the sociology department, leader of the committee, after the meeting. "Nearly everyone was agreed on that. The question was about the feasibility of our present plans." Gamson expressed confidence that the committee would hold some sort of teach-in unless gov- ernment policy is changed. "There will be something, maybe in Wash- ington with other universities or maybe here with a telephone hookup," said Gamson. The committee will hold a vital meeting Tuesday night to decide on the form of the protest, de- pending mainly, said Gamson, on the willingness of group members to share the burden of work. Problems of time and money caused most of the concern yes- terday. The project would require stag- gering amounts of time. One com- mittee leader, who had worked on the Ann Arbor teach-in, re- vealed that he had spent from 80- 100 hours in about three weeks working on arrangements for the teach-in. But first reactions indicate that if yesterday's meeting is a sign, the work involved in the present form of a national teach-in would be too much for the committee. Committee leaders caution, how- ever, that the meeting was not } well publicized and that Tuesday's meeting will show how much man- power the committee can really muster. The other concern was money. The presently proposedsteach-in would cost from $30,000 to $40,000, committee leaders revealed yes- terday. Thomas Mayer of the sociology dept., who acted as chairman for yesterday's meeting, said present hopes for getting the money lie in the gommittee's present pay-in drive, in possible affiliation with other universities or in grants from individuals and institutions. The present plan for the capital teach-in focusses on a Washing- ton, D.C. 'confrontation,' almost a debate, between administration spokesmen and members of the academic community opposed to present foreign policy, followed by seminars. Various alternatives to this plan were discussed at yesterday's meeting. Some suggested changing the date of the teach-in, some asking that the proposed May 8 teach-in be postponed for a week, others asking for a four-month postponement. Other plans included making the teach-in smaller in scope and size. Professors Find Lobby Inadequate By PETER SARASOHN The five University professors who recently returned from an "academic lobby" in Washington expressed disappointment at a press conference yesterday at what they called the inability of congressmen to affect foreign pol- icy. They concluded from their ex- perience, they said, that actions such as the proposed national teach-in are more effective than mere lobbying. The University professors were part of a delegation of approxi- mately 100, including seven from Wayne State University and Al- bion College. Michigan State Uni- versity representatives were un- able to attend because their teach- in was at the same time. Domino Theory Prof. Leo Stodolsky of the phys- ics department said that their ex- periences in speaking with con- gressmen "validated the domino theory in the Legislature in re- gards to foreign policy." He ex- plained this to mean that when the President says something, all the congressmen fall down. Prof. Arnold Kaufman of the philosophy department said that efforts to influence foreign poli- cy from the "inside" or by in- fluencing congressmen, was "at a dead end." Have Misgivings Although many congressmen felt misgivings about present Viet Nan policy, the professors found them reluctant to take any action. Pos- sible reasons for this were the "wait-and-see effect" of Presi- dent Lyndon B. Johnson's recent speech, lack of information on the Viet Nam problem and Democratid congressmen's concern for party unity, Kaufman said. Among those mentioned by the professors as expressing concern were Sen. Theodore Kennedy (D- Mass) and Sen. Robert Kennedy (D-NY). National Teach-In Prof. Gamson of the sociology department and chief spokesman for the Faculty-Student Com- mittee to Stop the War in Viet Nam, said that now more atten- tion should be devoted to organiz- ing the nationwide teach-in which has been tentatively set for May 8. Kaufman added that "the aca- demic community has made their reputation. Now it must reassert its responsibility." Prof. Barry Commoniner of the University of Washington in St. Louis is organizing a drive to in- vite officials, once part of the academic world and now in in- fluential government positions, as to speak at a university on Viet Nam policy. Presidential adviser McGeorge Bundy was listed as a possible speaker. The teach-ins are much more effective than the Washington academic lobby, the professors agreed. Kaufman said that the Demo- cratic party of Ann Arbor will be presented with a resolution April 20, for a re-examination of present Viet Nam policy. Aside from Gamson, Kaufman and Stodolsky; members of the University delegation were Prof. Marshall Sahlins of the anthro- pology department and Prof. Marc Ross of the physics department. Expect Faculty ATi '1 New Dental Facilities To Free Program By NEIL SHISTER The construction of a new $14 million building complex will have a profound affect on the nature and quality of the educational ex- perience provided by the dental 7 school, according to Associate Dean Robert Doerr. The building, which is planned for completion by the fall of 1968, will allow the school to offer "vertically oriented" curriculum. At present, the education of -the college is of a "horizontal" nature, with basic sciences being given in the first two years and clinical and dental sciences offered only to juniors and seniors. More Facilities Increased clinical facilities in the new building will free the curriculum from its current rigid- ity and allow for a program of in- creased flexibility in which clin- ical and dental work can be inte- grated with the fundamental sciences on even the elementary levels. The building has potential for a computer based system which could provide for a program of individual study in which the student determines, at least in part, his own rate of progress. "We may ultimately accept curriculum freed from the frame- work of the traditional semester Doerr emphasized that motor ing on the dental curriculum is as well as intellectual develop- still hard to visualize, but we in- ment is one of the challenging tend to develop a system of edu- factors in dental education, and cation which will provide the that training in operations and learner with every possible ad- advanced clinical techniques can- vantage.
