FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1962 -r ^- i By BARBARA LAZARUS "It is must easier for the South- ern Negro student to recognize the faults of society than, we as Northern students," Martha Pres- cod, '65, a representative to Stu- dent's Non-violent Coordinating Committee said yesterday. Speaking to the President's Council of Panhellenic Association with Sharon Jeffrey, member of Student Government Council, she Payne Views Development Of Washtenaw Thomas P. Payne, Democratic candidate for Congress from the second district, observed that his opponent, George Meader (R-Ann Arbor) has consistently voted against any efforts to expand the economy to full employment. "Three programs which passed Congress in spite of my opponent's 'no' vote are bringing more jobs and more money to this district," Payne noted. He said that new programs un- der the Area Redevelopment now being studied will bring help to the people and to the economy of Monroe County and this district. If elected to Congress, Payne explained that he would work for the passage of more legislation which would make certain areas such as Washtenaw County, that are adjacent to redevelopment areas, eliggible for benefits from the Public Works Acceleration Act. "Nine thousand people in Mon-, roe cross the county boundary to go to work. Public works projects in Monroe and adjoining counties would mean more jobs for the whole district," he commented. Payne said that unemployed peo- ple in three of the four counties in his district are eligible for re- training under the Manpower De- velopment and Training Act. .fencers' Club To Use Gym, The Uni v e rs i t y Intramural Sports Department is cooperating with the Ann Arbor Fencers' Club to allow them to fence in the Main Gym of the Intramural Building tonight and every Fri- day from 7:30 to 10 p.m. Members must bring their mem- bership cards. Faculty members or students who wish' to join the club may contact Mrs. Richard Jennings, the co-ordinator of the fencing program, at NO 3-1117 or the Ann Arbor Recreation Depart- ment at NO 5-8820. noted that the Southern Negro is in an ambiguous position in his community. "He is taught the worth of the individual and the tenents of de- mocracy from such institutions as his church and school. Yet around him he sees flagrant violations of these ideas," she observed. Ignores Problems The North tends to ignore these problems and "we can overlook that there are all Negro and all white sororities, and that there is a very low percentage of Negro students at the University." In 1960 four students in Green- ville, N.C., went into a lunch counter to eat and met violent op- position. "From this point on the sit-ins began, followed by the Freedom Riders and voter regis- tration drives, Miss Prescod ex- plained. "Negroes are actively trying to change the paradox that they face today, and this has become a springboard to greater and more forceful action." , Revise Attitude In order to understand the at- titude change in Negroes one must understand the place of the George Palmer Williams (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fifth in a series of 21 articles fea- turing tie namesakes of the men's residence halls) By LOUISE LIND George Palmer Williams, for 40 years a member of its faculty, probably had more to do with shaping the fortunes of the Uni- versity than any other person. Appointed in 1841 as the very first member of the University faculty, Prof. Williams headed the department of natural philosophy and later that of mathematics and physics. He and a second professor, Reverend Joseph Whiting, a half dozen students, and a building saw the beginning of the Literary Col- lege with its first class in Septem- ber, 1841. He served his university for 40 years and was its virtual head for more than 10 years prior to the advent of President Henry P. Tappan. Fine Appreciation The man evidently had a. fine appreciation for humor, for the following story is told of him: One day before class was to be- gin, Prof. Williams' s t u d en t s brought a donkey in his upper story recitation room, haltered and tied it to the rostrum at the pro- fessor's desk. Mr. Jolly, the aged janitor, coming upon the riotous scene was greatly agitated and rushed to the professor's house. Bursting into the study, he breathlessly blurted, "Professor, there's a donkey in your class- room!" The professor's reply: "Only one?" Old Punky Fondly revered by students and alumni, the man was known to all as "Old Punky." When he retired in 1875, the alumni society undertook to raise $25,000, the income from which was to provide the professor with a few added luxuries. At his death in 1881, this first endowment fund was established memorial, like Williams House in as the Williams Professorship, a West Quadrangle, to the first fac- ulty member. Group To V iei Alliance Unity In Discussions The posibilities and problems of achieving unity within the At- lantic Alliance will be explored today and tomorrow in a series of speeches and panel discussions in Aud. A. Angell Hall. John F. Schmidt, co-author of "The New Federalist," will give the opening address at 4:15 p.m. today. At 8 p.m. Prof. Inis L. Claude, Jr. of the political science depart- ment will lead a panel discussion. Prof. Robert C. Angell of the sociology department will lead a panel discussion at 9:30 a.m. to- morrow. At 1 p.m. Associate Dean Frederick M. Hudson of the de- partment of religion at Stevens College, will speak. Prof. Robert L. Nicholson of the University of Illinois history de- partment will present the closing address at 2:30 p.m. The loss of hearing today af- fects about 4.5 million children, Dr. Walter P. Work of the MedicalI Center reports. third, any combination of these two. Some hearing disorders are pres- ent at birth, and others are ac- quired early in life, he reported. When the difficulty is inherited, there is usually a history of hear- ing problems in the family. Cer- tain diseases of the mother during pregnancy can also result in deaf- ness for her child. Childhood Diseases come by prompt medical or sur- gical treatment." He further urged parents t0 be alert to hearing problems in their children and, if there is question, to make every effort to have the child examined by a physician at an early age.

DW~ THE ft ECTa I """"""-- ----- --- rc,,,),r MICHIGINI I Through the use of a four- minute computer program, it is now possible to build a tire, inflate it and then test it-as a result cf a recent breakthrough by faculty members in the engineering col- lege. Prof. Samuel K. Clark of the engineering college, who, under the sponsorship of five tire com- panies, directed a three-year re- search project, believes that better tire performance and more eco- nomical procedures of designing should result. Before a computer program could be devised, the engineers had to develop a means to measure the elastic properties of .tire ma- terials. Previously, it had been considered virtually impossible to analyze them mathematically. SHARON JEFFREY ... .voter drives I church in influencing their ac- tions, she added. "For many years the church preached sermons about how the 'meek-will inherit the earth.' The Negro lived in society and recon- ciled himself with the abuses he found there." Now this attitude has changed, and the movement is beginning to express itself, Miss Prescod said. Meet Difficult Miss Jeffrey said that often voter registration drives in areas such as Mississippi meet difficul- ties due to fear of violent re- prisals. "In Raleigh, N.C., nearly 2000 Negroes were registered, and this will be enough to change the out- come of elections. People running for office will now have to take into consideration all people in the city." Miss Jeffrey noted that the Ann Arbor tutorial project for Negroes and whites will create better understanding. "By helping students with their homework and also fostering dis- cussions on the psychology and sociology of community problems, perhaps the goal of an integrated society can be reached," she explained.
