CENTENNIAL:
Hughes Tells Negro Troubles
By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM
"How the Negro survived the.
first 100 years, of freedom I'll
never know, unless it was because
he managed to get through his
200 years of slavery," Langston
Hughes said yesterday.
He was speaking through his
fictional character Jesse B. Semple
as part of a reading of his poems
with commentary entitled "I, too,
sing America," at the University's
opening program commemorating
the centennial of Abraham Lin-
eoln's Emancipation Proclamation.
Hughes tried to show "some of
the Negro's little problems I have
seen," using the poems to illustrate
the Negro's feelings about his
sorrows.
Major Problem
A major problem for the eman-
cipated ;Negro is not only that he
is denied equal opportunities in
getting jobs and voting, but that
even immigrants barely off the
boat receive better treatment than
a Negro born and raised in Amer-
ica, according to Hughes.
"I always had the impression
that I'm as American as anyone
else," he remarked. To describe
this feeling, he used the poem
"Madam's Calling Card." In this
poem, the Negro heroine, asked
whether she wants her name in-
scribed on her calling cards in
Old English or Roman letters,
replies: "Use American . . . there's
nothing foreign to my pedigree."
The Negro's plight is worsened,
Hughes said, by the discrepancy
between what he hears and what
is actually practiced. "You can't
hear about democracy on the ra-.
dio and not help wanting some of
it."
KKK Exists
He pointed out that "in the
deep South where segregation is
legal," only six per cent of the
Negro children go to integrated
schools and that the Ku Klux
Klan exists even today.
In an interview later, Hughes
dsecribed the Southern integra-
tion picture as "very disappoint-
ing to most Negroes."
Elaborating specifically on the

HSU Enrolls
Record Total
EAST LANSING MA--Classes for
23,481 students,. a record winter
term enrollment, began Monday
at Michigan State University's
main campus.
MSU's total enrollment, includ-
ing the main campus, MSU-Oak-
land and university resident cen-
ters, is 26,050. The figure is 11
per cent higher than the previous
record in 1962.
The university set its all-time
enrollment mark in the fall term
of 1962, when 27,727 students were
attending classes, including some
25,000 at the main campus..
Meredith case, he said, "in the
hard-core states of the South we
have learned that you can't work
these problems out peacefully and
protect one man with 600 troops."
Intend To Integrate
He called for a "sweeping over-
all announcement once and for all
that we intend' to integrate and
go in with an army if necessary"
to enforce the announcement.
As for more peaceful measures,
he commended the student pro-
test movements. "Students have
grown more liberal through their
concern for race problems," he
said.
"Sit-ins have made a broaden-
ing of social interest so that stu-
dents on the whole are very for-
Illegal
A Democratic paper, "The
Michigan Argus," only paper
published in Ann Arbor at the
time of the Emancipation Proc-
lamation, opposed it on grounds
that it was illegal:
"We do not believe the Presi-
dent has any 'legal authority
even as a war measure to do
what he has attemnpted. Procla-
mations will not put down the
rebellion and restore the Union.
A peace is to be conquered by
force of arms, and we say push
on the armies, preserve the Un-
ion, and let slavery take care of
itself.
"The rebels have given the
institution its death blow, let
not the President prolong its
life by attempts to strangle it
both prematurely and illegiti-
mately."
ward-looking and very much for
racial democracy and interested
in all of man's basic social prob-
lems."
He said that many of the Black.
Muslims "are driving at the things'
every Negro wants -- such as
jobs and equality."
However, "the basic tenet of
black against white" is not likely
to perpetuate unity and co-opera-
tion between all men, "especially
in a national organization that
tends toward extreme national-
ism," Hughes concluded.
Hughes' commentary was the
first event of the University's ob-
servance of the centennial of the
issuance of the Emancipation
Proclamation. Tomorrow's pro-
gram will include a lecture by
Prof. Dwight Dumond, of the his-
tory department, speaking on
"The Emancipation Proclama-
tion: Freedom in the Fullness of
Time," at 8 p.m. in Hill Aud.
'Characters'
Shift Bounds
fRealism
By DEBORAH BEATTIE
Luigi Pirandello's "Six Char-
acter's in Search of an Author,"
which will be presented tonight
through Saturday by the Univer-
sity Players, is unique in its de-
liberate attempt to disorient the
audience.
"The audience doesn't know if it
is watching a play, a mockery of
a play or the preparation of a
play," Prof. William R. McGraw
of the speech department, direc-
tor, explains.
The play, which is Pirandello's
most popular, is designed to show
the indefinite line between reality
and illusion and implies that the
reality in man's existence is hard
to pin down.
Disillusionment
Pirandello wrote "Six Charac-
ters in Search of an Author" in
the midst of post World War I
disillusionment. At the time he
was one of the most eloquent
voices of the disillusioned age.
In the play Pirandello is criti-
cizing the theatre of the 1920s,
indicating that it is inadequate in
its attempts to show life as it is,
Prof. McGraw says. He felt that
the realistic theatre had failed to
capture the essence of life or
character which it pretended to
portray.
The play concerns six charac-
ters, whose story is partly told,
and want the rest of their story
told in the theatre. It raises the
question of what is truth. Prof.
McGraw believes that the univer-
sality of Pirandello's questions is
responsible for the wide appeal of
the drama.F
Precursor
He commented that the play is
particularly appropriate now be-
cause it is the precursor of con-
temporary avant garde drama.
Like Samuel Beckett, Edward Al-
bee and Jean Genet, Pirandello
was trying to deny theatre in
writing an anti-theatrical play
which purposely defies convention.
The mood of the play shifts
from tragedy to farce. Pirandello
called it a comedy, but Prof. Mc-
Graw is treating it as basically a
tragic play with comic overtones.
Contributions Add
To Alumni Fund
More than 20,000 alumni and
friends contributed a record to-
tal of $703,285 to the University's
Alumni Fund, last year's national
chairman, John D. Hubbard, re-
ported. A unit of the Development
Council, the fund raises money for
academic needs which do not re-
ceive state appropriation support.
UNEMPLOYED:
'U' Researchers Receive
Funds for Status Study
Gi'I[4711Tc1y5
mwmwvmmm
By BARBARA LAZARUS
Prof. Ronald Freedman of the
sociology department and Mrs. L.
C. Coombs of the Population Stud-
ies Center, have received a grant
from the Social Security Admin-
istration to do a study of "Eco-
nomic Status, Unemployment and
Family Growth."
The purpose of the project is to
"study important aspects of the
relation of economic status and
periods of unemployment or de-
pendency to family growth and
welfare," Prof. Freedman said re-
cently.
The study relies upon 1,300 in-
tensive interviews with white cou-
ples, covering many phases of fam-
ily life, history and the number
of children planned for the future.
The interviews were made Jan.-
March, 1962 in the Detroit area,
Prof. Freedman commented.
Negroes
The study will conduct a series
of interviews with a separate sam-
ple of Negro couples, he added.
Prof. Freedman said that the 1,-
300 couples are presently being
called back for the first time to
determine any changes in family
composition, pregnancies and eco-
nomic status."
"We have been very successful
in reaching about 95 per centof
the people in the first sample," he
said. The couples are mainly being
contacted by telephone interviews.
Family Patterns
The first phase of the study
concerns detailed examination of
the relationship of economic stat-
us and both the husband's and
wife's employm'ent history to past
family growth patterns, to the
number of children expected in the
future, whether children already
born were wanted and health and
other services available to the chil-
dren.
The follow-up study will con-
sider "whether the expressed ex-
pectations about family growth
were realized, whether changes in
expectations were related to shift-
ing economic conditions or unem-
ployment and whether past eco-
nomic status and success in family
planning .are predictive of fertility
and family size," Prof. Freedman
indicated.
The main emphasis is on eco-
nomic variables, but the present
project is part of a larger study
aimed at measuring other vari-
ables related to family planning.
These data might include factors
such as social mobility, religious
influences, internal family struc-
ture and aspirations for the level
of services children should have,
he added.
"It will be possible to see wheth-
er dependency and the economy
of the family, especially in lower
income groups, effect the number
of children the family has and
when it has them," Prof. Freedman
commented.
. "There is already evidence from
other studies that there is such a
relationship, but just how this re-
lationship works out is not
known."
Local FHA
Joins CORE
The Ann Arbor Fair Housing
Association and the Ann Arbor
branch of the Congress of Racial
Equality have merged.
The action came after the AA-
FHA's application for affiliation
with the CORE national group was
accepted at the CORE national
convention in New Orleans last
month.
Officers of the combined group,
elected last week, are: LeMar Mil-
ler, chairman; Dora Cafagna, re-
cording secretary; Ann Holden,
corresponding secretary; Tom Por-
ter, treasurer; and Daryl Bem and
Harry Mial, members of the steer-
ing committee.
