THE MICHIGAN DAILY D4\EN#4 AY. JAI THE MICIGAN DILY WEJNFunAYi A1 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 Across Campus Prof. Donald Hall, of the English department, will give the conclud- ing lecture in the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation series on "Mor- al Values Reflected in Great Lit- erature" at 8 p.m. today at Hillel. His address /is entitled "Rock Bottom," and is based on the works of William Butler Yeats, James Joyce, and T. S. Eliot. 'Fantasticks' .'

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. USNSA Sets Travel Guide The United States National Stu- dent Association has announced publication of}its 15th edition of "Work, Study, Travel Abroad," a general guide to student travel. The 150 page book includes in- formation for students planning any type of overseas travel ex- perience. It features information on tours, independent travel, study and working abroad, major sum- mer festivals and money-saving travel hints. Student Government Council acted before Christmas vacation to establish the Campus Travel Board, which will administer the University's branch of Education- al Travel Incorporated, a USNSA organization. The board will also distribute travel information. The book features introductory articles by Donald Shank, execu- tive vice-president of the Institute of International Education, and Voit Gilmore, director of the United States Travel service. : ENDS THURSDAY DIAL 5-6290 SHOWS AT ), 3, 5, 7, 9 P.M. :I AM~ONYQ/N a~O~g THE UNFORGETTABLE f FOUR In adrama of guts and genius!
