CHARTS PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAMS:
Board Plans To Close Jones School, Bus Students

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, ,1964

NIGHT EDITOR: H. NEIL BERKSON

By LEONARD PRATT
A full summer's work came to
the first stage of completion last
Wednesday night when the Ann
Arbor Board of Education voted
unanimously to close down the
city's Jones High School next fall
because of its de facto. segrega-
tion.
Concern with Jones School's high
proportion of Negro students -.
the student body is presently 75
per cent :Negro-stretches back
two years to a study conducted
by a citizen's committee on ra-
cial conditions in "inner city"

Some of today's four-page edition of The Daily was produced using the facilities
of the Chelsea Standard after a power failure left the Student Publications Bldg.
without electricity. This unique edition, without the Daily's usual editorial page, was,
printed through the cooperation of Standard editor W. P. Leonard. The Ann Arbor
News also helped by providing The Daily with Associated Press copy.

Radiation Sparks Public's Fear

Interest

' elementary schools. This report,
which covered schools in Ann Ar-
bor's most heavily populated
areas, recommended closing of1
the school as soon as possible be-
cause of the racial imbalance
there.
The "inner city" report had lit-
tle effect other than to let the
school board know that there were
not only racial problems involved
at Jones School but also educa-
tional problems. The board's con-
cern for these problems led to
the creation of the citizen's com-
mittee that has issued the "Jones
School Report."
Two Points
At the very outset the board
emphasized two things about the
report which this committee would
issue:
1) It was not to be considered
a report on Jones School adone,
but rather a report on racial con-
ditions in all of the city's ele-
mentary schools.
2) The board was not concern-
ed with the racial situation alone,
but with the educational results
of this situation. As lie committee's
report puts it, its job was to re-
port on the racial situation "par-
ticularly as it may result in .
educational disadvantages arising
from or identifiable with such
segregation."
Issued early this summer, the
report disclosed several important
facts about this imbalance and its
results. First, although Negro
students are only six per cent of
the city's total, they accounted for
75 per cent of the students at
Jones School, 41 per cent at Mack
School and 28 per cent at Perry!

On an all-city chart, Negro stu-
dents were shown to read poorer3
as the degree of segregation of
their school increased.
In general academic perform-
ance, the report stated that 67 per
cent of Jones' and Mack students
averaged "C" grades. Yet of Ne-
gro children from the city's un-
segregated schools only 55 per cent
averaged "C" and of the city's
white children, only 31 per cent
averaged "C" grades.

large amounts of radiation are re-
ceived over a short period of time.
Smaller amounts of radiation re-
ceived over an extended period
may cause cancer or shorten the
life span.
Genetic changes that may occur
as a result of radiation can alter
the material through which the
characteristics of one generation
are passed on to the next.
Whipple criticizes those scien-
tists who claim that radiation
from fallout is a great danger to
health by pointing out that ap-
proximately 70 per cent of all
radiation we receive comes from
natural sources such as the earth
and outer space, 22 per cent comes
from medical uses of radiation
such as x-rays and only 8 per
cent comes from fallout.
Medical Danger
"If we are really interested in
cutting down the amount of radia-
tion we receive, we should try to
reduce radiation exposure to pa-
tients during medical. diagnosis
and treatment, a thing, incident-
ally, that is being done quite ef-
fectively by the University Medical
Ceniter," Whipple says.
Another c r i t i ci s.m Whipple
makes is of the way in which
safety standards for the use of
radioactive materials are some-

times enforced by inspect

Students Favo
In YD-YR Pol
A majority of polled students
favored the Democratic Party in a
recent political survey taken by
the University Young Democrats
and the Young Republicans. It was
the first time the Democrats came
out on top in a University poll in
recent years.
The poll, opening election-year
programs for both organizations,
was taken during registration
where cards asking for name, ad-
dress, age and party preference
were distributed by club members.
Out of 10,00 cards distributed,
4300 were returned, YD chairman
Michael Grondin, '66, said. The
cards revealed 2550 students fav-
ored a Democrat for President
while 1330 indicated Republican.
Anti-Goldwater Republicans num-
bered 62. The poll also showed 150
independents and 99 who had no
preference in the national election.
