nan A. Nelson Dingle said
)ingle is chairman of the spe-
1 Council committee studying

umcil by the Human Relations
mnmission on March 9 of last
fir.
Dingle gave the Council a resu-
and report of the activities
d findings of the Commission
I of his committee's work at
nday's Council meeting.
:t observed that "the tenor of
a Human Relations Commission
ort was that the observed ra-
J discrimination practices in
a community were deleterious
the welfare of the community
. that housing was the area in
ich the greatest need for action
sted, and that legislation in
propriate form would be help-
in alleviating the existing in-
ulities."
Takes Action
[n response to the Commission
3posal that the legislation be
acted, the Committee took ac-
n to obtain public expression of,
ws by realtors, financial oficers
d builders of the community. It
npiled a representative list of
sons influential in such fields,
n sent them letters mentioning
Council's concern and inviting
em to a meeting to express
ir views.
At this meeting, which the Ex-
tive Committee of the Human
lations Commission observed,
attitudes expressed by some
the attendees confirmed the
mmission's conclusion that leg-
islation was necessary to improve
existing conditions.
Regarding the impending legis-
lation, the report said, "It is the
intent of all concerned that ade-
quate time for full consideration
of the proposed ordinances shall
be provided and that no one shall
be asked to vote before he has had
time to deliberate, to discuss, to
consider possible amendments, and
to decide ;how he should vote."
Problem Reorganized
The problem of human relations
was recognized as early as 1951,
when the Civic Forum made a
report which was primarily con-
cerned with the condition and
prices of housing for members of
racial and religious minority
groups in Ann Arbor.
Another study was made by the
Ann Arbor Housing Committee in
1953-55, which was followed in
1956 by a community self-survey.
The Human Relations Com-
mittee was born out of this study
and was first established in 1957
by the City Council.
After seving two years the Com-
mission came to the conclusions
stated in the report of last March.
At this point the present Council
committee was formed to study
the report and review the problem.
The activities of this committee
were subdued subsequent to its
meeting of April 23, 1959, because
of the priority of the then immi-
nent Urban Renewal Project.
Legislation Planned
The committee has held three
meetings (two of them with the
Human Relations Commission Ex-
ecutive Committee) and has de-
veloped plans for legislation.
Action on housing discrimina-
tion was demanded in the Demo-
cratic platform for the forthcom-,
ing elections, which specifically
asked for the strengthening of the
Commission and, positive legisla-
tion.
DIAL NO 1-6264
By SUSAN HERSHBERG
Many people have wondered
about the intricate pattern of
fjords and islands" on the east
coast of Greenland, but not many
have picked themselves up to go
and find out about them.
One man who is now doing a re-
search project on the history of
this region is Fred Pessl, teaching
fellow in the geology department.
After a short trip to Greenland
in 1958, he applied for and re-
ceived a grant from the Arctic
Institute cf North America, which
encourages work in natural sci-
ences.
In 1958, he was an assistant to
A.L. Washburn who also worked
there last summer and will this
summer. Pessl will study soil creep
in arctic soils.
Both Pessl and Washburn have
base camps not far apart near the
town of Mestersvig and the fjord
neighbors are a mine, an air strip,
a harbor, and several glaciers.
Studies History
Basically, Pessl is attempting to
"establish the chronology of the
glacial history of this portion of
Greenland. Though this is rather

pedantic in itself, it is. the first
stage of the scientific method,"
he explaind.
"Eventually, however, some great
mind will put together the results
of my work and others and get
some major theory."
Last summer, Pessl, his wife and
one assistant arrived in Greenland
in early July. This year, they will
set out late in April, getting to
Mestersvig the end of May.
Since it will still be winter there,
they will travel three,-or four hun-
dred kilometers by dog team. By
the end of September, their two-
year project should be finished.
Receives Permission
Greenland is owned by Denmark,
and the owners usually want their
own geologists to work there, Pessl
said. "It took me a long time to
convince the Danes that I was
completely worthless."
The team uses relative ages of
vegetation, the maturity of glacial
deposits, and the law of superposi-
tion to determine the relative ages
of the periods of glaciation which
have covered this area of Green-
land.
Their tools are the most primi-
tive. They are limited to baromet-
ric altimeter, a Brunton compass,
and a shovel. "For my particu-
lar concern, probably a shovel is
the most useful instrument of all."
Though his research is mainly
based on his foundation of prior
knowledge, Pessl added, "I am en-
countering problems that don't
seem to be able to be solved with
the techniques that I know, so a

PRESENTS
The idiot child of the per-
forming arts media, television,
has produced few programs
worthy of the title "classic." If
there are such TV animals,
however, certainly Edward R.
Murrow's See It Now program
on the late Senator Joseph
McCarthy, which we are show-
ing Thursday and Friday, must
be counted among them.
It is an extraordinary piece
of electronic journalism; doubly
remarkable in that this critical,
forty - five minute portrait of
the man who gave his name to
an era was done at the zenith
of McCarthy's power. Virtually
the first nation - wide voice
raised against the insidious
techniques of the senator, it has
been seen by many as the snow-
ball which started the ava-
lanche of McCarthy's downfall.
It's companion feature, Su-
bida al Cielo, while not widely
known is a brilliant film done
by the eminent Spanish direc-
tor Luis Bunuel and a winner
of a Grand Prix at the Cannes
film festival in 1954.
A figure comparable in sta-
ture to Igmar Bergman, Bunuel
is a master of paradox, a bril-
liant manipulator of mood and
a superbly imaginative artist
whose camera eye is shrewd,
relentless, exact.
Subida al Cielo is the pic-
aresque story of a young man
rushing to a city to carry out
his dying mother's wish-that
her will be changed to make a
distant relative the chief bene-
ficiary and disinherit the young
man's grasping brothers. Pre-
sented with an ironic sense of
humor, the film is one of the
director's more genial works but
it does not mask his essentially
tragic vision of human exist-
ence.
* * *
The term "adult western" is
most often used to describe a
western which one is rather
ashamed of having liked. High
Noon, our Saturday and Sun-
day feature, can be termed
"adult," however, in its more
orthodox sense; a western with
a sense of characterization and
a believable, engrossing plot.
Director Fred Zinnemann
paces this story of a sheriff
whose friends desert him as he
waits the noon arrival of a gang
of gunmen who have sworn to
kill him with an ever-mounting
tension and suspense.
The leading exponent of the
clenched teeth school of acting,
Gary Cooper, is ideally cast as

academic potential and also his
preparation for studies.
The combination of rank-in-I
class and aptitude tests gives ad-
missions officials a preview of the
student's scholastic future, Groes-,
beck said.

The failure of students to realize

to the, misconceptions of what

"The Council has the respect of

"The Council certainly isn't
qualified to deal with the motiva-

Many times they .refer individ-

they think it is necessary, in-

Students should also realize that
Joint Judic isn't a policing agency
but a system that deals with in-
fractions of University rules. "It
is neither lax nor overbearing,"
Joel believes. "Also the University
isn't a policing agency."
"These are some of the intracie
