LECTURE: Players Open with Moliere Drama Volf Talks on Latin America 1 1 KAREN WEINHOUSE Latin American social problems emming from the superimposi- )n of the Spaniards on the na- re Indian culture was the topic a lecture yesterday by Prof. .c R. Wolf of the anthropology part ent. The epressed position of the ,tin American Indian has result- from a self-imposed isolation.. When the Spaniards conquered, ey destroyed the old ruling class .d its integral relations. As a echanism of self defense the In- ans tried to isolate themselves, )king on outsiders as a source of. tential danger. Poverty as Protection They value poverty as a means harmony. By linking ceremonial ty which requires a significant rsonal expenditure with political fice, these Indian groups have en able to abolish economic sur- 1s and in so doing prevent a :althy class from gaining politi- I power. "Many political events in the1 At 50 years havebeen aneattempt destroy these defensive walls," of. Wolf said. A second social group which >se from Spanish influence is' e Mestizo which originated from eague Appoints Ommittee Staffs [he following students have n appointed by the Interview-f and Nominating Committee to chigan League committees: Social: Kathy Sullivan, '65; Uni-f -sity Services: Susie Finder, '65; yle Rogers, '65; Beryle Leff, '66; i Noble, '66; Jane Klotzbach, Heather McCallum, '66.. -j Publications: Elody Mondo, '65, I Mary Lou Loesel, '66.

His- torically, this group has been with- out civic or political rights. Independent Mestizos "The Mestizo is not a member of a fixed agricultural community nor does he have political power, but composes a large population that floats somewhere in between and is in need of support," Prof. Wolf noted. This group finds a place in so- ciety through bonds of an informal nature, an example of which is the patron-client relationship. The patron gains support either poli- tically or in the form of labor by extending goods and favors to his supporters.. Kafka Series Ends Tonight The Student Government Coun- cil reading and discussion series will present the final program on the works of Franz Kafka at 7:30 pm. today in the multi-purpose rm. of the UGLI. The program will be a round- table discussion by, the five, fac- ulty members who' have previously spoken. "It is a seemingly chaotic or- ganization yet very real," Prof. Wolf said. Contrary to the Indian who tries to deprive power of its sting, the patron-client relation places a strong value on power. Power Emerges Individuals emerge who have access to political or economic re- sources and who can purposively organize these informal groups. The political boss stands in the same relation to his followers as does the patron to his client. "Latin American demonstrations show resemblances to feuding be- havior even when they take a highly political form," Prof. Wolf pointed out. In the United States political tensions don't come to armed con- flict because there are ample re- sources to split between contend- ing groups. Latin American conflicts have not been negotiable because one's followers must be paid off and there have not been enough re- sources to, divide among the fac- tions. This situation is typified by problems resulting from attempted 'land reform. Land Reform" Almost all land reform laws allow the owner to retain a certain part of his holdings. The property owner will hold onto the better portion of his land. He may keep that part which has a mill or that port which is irrigated thus di- minishing the value of the portion to be sold. He will then take the capital acquired from his second- rate land and make first-rate in- vestments. The population problem also in- creases the difficulties of land reform. A certain portion of land may be divided up for one genera- tion, but the next will bring more mouthsdthan the land can ac- commodate. Industrialization is required to decrease dependence on the land and to develop enough resources to render this system obsolete. Prof. Wolf's talk was the second in a series of lectures on cultural integration in a changing world sponsored by the International Students Association. STUDENTS & FACULTY BE INFORMED!

By LAURENCE KIRSHBAUM Over 50 persons attended the Student Government Council mass meeting yesterday aimed at ac- quainting interested students with the SOC structure of standing committees and related boards. Sponsored by the Council's pub- lic relations board, the meeting featured a general introduction to SGC by President Thomas; Brown, '66L., and, explanatory. speeches about the various committees and boards by their chairmen. Cautioning against "spreading yourselves too thin,"=Brown noted that in the past "the most progress on campus projects has been made BIBLE FIRST: Spann'Rp apsCivil Rights For Negroes By DAVID ROSEN "The Christian ministry is little more than involved in the civil rights struggle," a Negro evangelist said Sunday at the University Re- formied Church. "Furthermore, the National: As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People and the Congress on Racial Equality practice in- flammatory and un-Christian ac- tivities, and the Negro in Amer- ica has been swept away by the liberal movement," Paul Spann said. Spann, a former student from Tuskegee Institute, Lane College and the Detroit Bible College, cit- ed the courage needed to face God as being more than that needed to face Southern segregationists. Spann also railed at Negro writ- er James Baldwin because "some ministers accept Baldwin's!words above the word of God." Breaking civil law is wrong, Spann said, and therefore the Ann Arbor sit-ins were in violation of Christian principles. "There is room in the civil rights when one o rtwo persons became interested in one particular thing." New Ideas What that "particular thing" should be, he would not say. "Council needs new ideas. You should decide for yourself what is needed to be done," Brown ex- plained. SGC Administrative Vice-Presi- dent Thomas Smithson, '65, super- visor of the committee structure, explained the differences between the committee and related board structures. The four standing committees- Committees on Student Affairs, University Affairs, Student Con- cerns and United States National Student Associaiton - serve as Council's . legislative committees and have "the more direct involve- ment with SOC in its legislative process," he said. Specific Project1 These committees are referred1 specific projects "with the idea of getting specific legislation." He cited as an example the Committee on Student Concern's proposed of- ficer election changes which went before the campus in a referen- dum last week. By contrast, the related boards -including the public relations board, human relations board and student-book exchange. - serve "virtually ,autonomously" from Council, Smithson said. DIAL 8-6416 7- Structure, He noted that the picketing of University President Harlan Hatcher's home last year for Uni- versity support of the fair housing ordinance had been done without consulting Council. Nancy Freitag, '64, chairman of the Committee on Student Con- cerns outlined the flexibility open to committees in deciding on what they want to work. She explained that while two years ago this committee made resolutions on foreign affairs and national issuesi "this year we're working for bus service from the hill to campus and trying to get greater student welfare benefits."
