munity.
Ann Arbor's fair housing ordi-
nance, passed Monday by City
Council, came under scrutiny and
board members suggested that the
HRB help students gain the pro-
tections of the ordinance.
Board members expressed re-
gret that the ordinance would not
take effect until January 1, point-
ing out that most students who are
going to move between semesters
will have moved by that time. It
was suggested, however, that the
HRB work as observer with stu-
dents searching for housing.
Recalling the success of "Proj-
ect Welcome" two years ago, board
members examined ways to do it
again in housing and other areas.
The project involved the signing by
students of petitions welcoming
residence seekers regardless of
face, religion or nationality. Some
3500 signatures were obtained.
The HRB also examined the use
of educational tools-lectures, mo-
vies, panels, discussion groups,
"role playing"-to promote under-
standing about human relations.
The HRB is also seeking the use
in freshman English classes of
excerpts from the writings of
James Baldwin.

to the main campus, the hospital complex and the residence halls, has recently acquired a new gas

ADMISSIONS:
Hutchins Reveals Prejudice at Chicago

By DAVID BLOCK
The Ann Arbor Tutorial Project
concentrates on providing educa-
tional training for children of
grade school and high school ages,
according to staff member Miriam
Olshanski, '66.
The children, primarily Negro,
are given assistance in developing
their reading and arithmetic skills.
The project, part of the Culture
Club, will hold a mass meeting at
7:30 p.m. today in Rm. 3D of the
Michigan Union.
Second Purpose
"We hope our tutorial project
will serve a second purpose by
breaking down the hostility that
many of these children feel to-
wards the white community," Miss
Olshanski said.
"First, we hope to gain their
confidence by demonstrating our
willingness to help them by means
of the project.
"Then, because our program is
constructed on a highly individual
basis, with only one student per
tutor, we hope our staff members
will form friendships 'with their
pupils and thus further strengthen
the bonds between the two com-
munities," she added.
Orientation Program
The tutors are mainly students
at the University and must first
go through a two week orientation
program before they are permitted
to begin work with a pupil. They
must put in a minimum of two
hours of work per week for the
project.
The organization is headed by
its co-ordinator, Richard Sleet, a
former student. The faculty ad-
viser of the group is Stanislav V.
Kasl, study director of the Sur-
vey Research Center. In addition,
several clergymen in the area are
serving as advisers to the tutorial
project.
Wallace Gets,
Council Post
Dean James B. Wallace of the
music school was among 15 per-
sons appointed yesterday by Gov.
George Romney to the new Michi-
gan Council for the Arts.
The council replaces the former
Michigan Cultural Commission.
Wallace and Jacob Kellman, De-
troit civic leader, were named
vice-chairmen of the council.
Among others named were Prof.-
Emeritus Joseph E. Maddy of the
music school, president of the in-
terlochen National Music Camp,
and Alden Dow, Midland architect.

The student group is also aided
by a committee comprised of the
parents of the tutees and other in-
terested Ann Arbor residents. The
committee conducts door-to-door
campaigns in an attempt to arouse
public awareness of the tutorial
project. Committee members urge

the parents of slow children to en-
roll them in the project's program.
Every two weeks the parents
committee meets with members of
the project to discuss their pro-
gress and to plan future actions.
The tutors keep written records
of their meetings with their
pupils. Simultaneously, a staff of
the tutorial project is conducting
individual research on the prob-
lems relating to civil rights and
the tutorial program. At the end
of the year these two sets of re-
ports will be compiled into a gen-
eral report outlining the results
and conclusions for the project.
Miss Olshanski urged all people
interested in being tutors or staff
members in this program to come
to the mass meeting today.

SANTA BARBARA-The Uni-
versity of Chicago has come under
fire in a recent essay by former
Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins.
In an "Occasional Paper" in a
periodical publication for the Fund
for the Republic, of which Hutch-
ins is president, the educator
charged that during his stay at
Chicago there were instances of
prejudice at both the student and
faculty level.
"The University of Chicago
Medical School violently resisted
admitting Negro students," Hutch-
ins wrote.
"Negroes and Jews who had
non-committal names and were
not otherwise visible to the naked
Show To View
Slang, Jargon

eye were detected in photographs
required with applications for ad-
mission. It took an executive or-
der from my office to eliminate
this requirement."
He said that on another occasion
the chairman of a scientific de-
partment told him the school could
not appoint a leading theoretical
astronomer "because he was an
Indian and black."
Hutchins also criticized the gen-
eral moral tone of academic life
and the state of liberal education.
Repudiate Snow
He said he wished to "repudiate
C. P. Snow, who intimates in one
of his books that scientists should
be intrusted with the world be-
cause they are a little bit better
than other people.
"My view vased on long and
painful observation is that profes-
sors are somewhat worse than oth-
er people, and that scientists are
somewhat worse than other profes-
sors.
"The foundation of morality in
our society is a desire to protect
one's reputation. A professor's rep-

utation depends entirely on his
books and his articles in learned
journals, he continued.
Victims of Education
"Scientists are the victims of an
education and a way of academic
life created by their misinterpre-
ters and propagandists," Hutchins
said.
"These misinterpreters have
propagandized an entirely incon-
secutive chain of consecutive prop-
ositions. The pursuit of truth, they
say, is the collection of facts. Facts
can be experimently verified. Thus
the only method of truth is the
scientific method."
He cited the University of Chi-
cago Medical School as an exam-
ple of a perfectly sincere "although
somewhat misguided campaign
against liberal education."
He said the medical school urg-
ed devotion of the entire curricu-;
lum to science and medicine. He
said the consequence is that
"everybody specializes."
"There can be no academic com-
munity because scientists cannot
talk to one another," he added.
