ARY'9, 196( a THE MICHIGAN DAILY ARY 9, 196 0 THE MICHIGAN DAILY .,,,,._ Al BORING, TRA VELING: Students Aid Nations with Work Camps f"' By CAROLINE DOW Turks, Germans, and Ameri- cans will work, live and discuss international problems in work- camps this- summer. So will Japanese, Mexicans, Frenchmen and scores of other nationalities, not separately in smoky conference rooms but to- gether in camps, shacks and ruins, not all day till the mind spins, but after eight hours of hard work, and not elderly states- men, but youth. This summer, University stu- dents will convene from every nook and world cranny to rebuild homes in Turkey, to make way for a dam by transplanting a town in Mexico and to aid communities in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. To Work Interns in industry will work for the summer in white collar and assembly-line jobs and will compare their experiences when they return to community houses to prepare their dinners. An Italian aid will report over the dinner table, how she was reprimanded by the grandmother next to her for coming to work with a Negro. Understanding will grow with the thrashing out of problems with visiting labor and management leaders. Living simply, student groups in France and Germany will re- construct villages, and some will reconstruct people in the refugee camps. Others will live and work with families of grape pickers, learning to be picturesque for 40 hours a week. Work With Insane In America, closely knit groups will work as Institutional Service Units, working with the mentally ill, giving them desperately need- ed supervised attention. As the unit works, each indi- vidual in it will learn clinical ap- proaches to intensely human problems and vice-versa. These programs are sponsored by the National Council of Churches, by individual churches, by international organizations and by the American Friends Service Cbmmittee. They make the arrangements, provide leaders and funds for those who need it, and let the participants work out their own problems. And they have problems, but il- luminating ones. A group with varied backgrounds, creeds, and loyalties living in close, rough quarters under a tiring work schedule and with unlimited free discussion find differences. They also find unique solutions or at least a way to understand. Often they do not seek solutions, they are forced into them by the necessity for harmony under dif- ficult conditions. The difficulties come not over the work job as often as they do over recreation. The work they agreed to do when they came. But every workcamp includes recrea- tion and trips to surrounding areas. For the trips the time taken from work, the choice of itinerary and the method of travel are all matters of dissension as each stu- dent places different importance to the trip according to his back- ground and interests. This also applies to the local recreation. A camp in Finland almost broke up without finishing their project when they split into factions over a two-day trip to a Finnish patri- otic site. The Americans did not realize the importance to the Finns of reaching this site, who might never be in the vicinity againi their lifetime. Two days of wrangling reached its peak when one of the leaders realized that he had mistranslat- ed a word, a word in the key sen- tence of the Finnish argument for the trip. Hard, feelings died and the trip was scheduled. Participants are eligible with the barest essentials of language if they are willing to work hard. Manual skills are taught or im- provised and everybody cooks.

AT WASHINGTON: College Has Anti-Semitic Incident Col a Ha Anx Ss cI f SEATTLE W- - Racial taunts aimed at a new freshman class president who retaliated with an obscene gesture brought an offi- cial investigation of possible anti- semitism on the University of Washington campus Thursday. Charles E. Odegaard, university president, directed the dean of stu- dents and the faculty committee on student welfare, "to determine 'U' Mail Clerk Given Memoir The UniversityrRegents ex- pressed their sorrow over the death of Edward J. Vandawarker, campus mail clerk, in a memoir on Jan. 2. Vandawarker, 69, served the University for 48 years in which he worked for all of the presidents from Angell to Hatcher, knew them personally and was liked by all. to what extent such religious big- otry might be present." The incident, which occurred during the freshman class elec-- tion campaign, resulted in suspen- sion of Bruce Osterman, 18 years old, of San Francisco, from the class presidency until the end of the school year. The suspension was ordered by the student judiciary committee "for conduct unbecoming a can- didate." , Osterman said he was provoked into the gesture by anti-semitic remarks during a parade through the fraternity house district. He said a car bearing a swastika crowded to the head of the line and shouts said, "eat it, Jew," and "catch this Jew." Osterman, an electrical engi- neering student, said his gesture was "pure reflex," and indicated he would appeal the suspension from office. Both the committee chairman, Stan Israel, and the prosecutor for V4 'awn 1w OF EWW j ° the judiciary committee, Jerry IF HOdegaard said discrimination has been virtually unknown in campus activities.
