A threatened student walkout at Ann Arbor High School to protest
the suspension of three male students for non-conforming hair styles
failed to materialize on September 26, 1968. About 150 students rallied
around the school's flagpole following dismissal instead of walking out
during the school day ... that evening, singer Harry Belafonte
received two standing ovations after his performance on campus.
We have no secrets
Looks like Detroit's Channel 4 could have used a little more
investigative reporting in its story on the National Organizing
Conference to Stop Government Spying this weekend. The station
reported the conference was being held in Lansing. In fact, the
gathering took place here in Ann Arbor. It just goes to show how good
their spies were.

It's not unusual for incoming students
at the University to suffer pangs of
loneliness and alienation. For minority
students, however, the problem can be,
especially acute.
That's whythe Sub-TaskForcel on
Minority Student Concerns has
declared Thursday "Minority Student
Day" and is sponsoring an all-day open
house to mark the occasion.
THE SUB-TASK Force, organized
earlier this year underthe University's
Affirmative Action Office, has the
enlisted the aid of about two dozen of-
fices which will offer refreshments,
films and tours of office facilities to in-
teres ted students.
Michael Garcia; Affirmative Action
Program Associate for Minority Con-
cerns and the activities co-ordinator,
said he hopes the offices will, "in a
positive way, make the students feel
welcome."
Garcia referred to Thursday's ac-
tivities as a "three-pronged effort,"
which includes the open houses, a series
of cultural activities and performances
in the Pendleton Room of the Michigan
Union and a disco dance in the Union
Ballroom.
The problems of incoming minority
students, as Garcia sees them, "stem
from not knowing where to go and who
to see. If a student hits four or five of
those (offices) and feels welcome, that
can make a big difference and make
him feel hope," he said.
SINCE MINORITY students often
come from troubled backgrounds, Gar-
cia said, the availability of University
facilities "determines in a large way
whether they are going to make it and
whether they are going to stay here."
Garcia said he relates to the Univer-
sity's attrition rate to a lack of services.
"There is just not enough being done"
to help minorities adjust to campus life,
he said, although he added he feels the
University is making a relatively good
effort to recruit students of diverse
races.
"But the getting of minorities and
women is not enough," the activities
coordinator emphasized. "It's the
keeping that matters."
The Sub-Task Force is composed of
representatives from such supportive
service groups as Financial Aid Office,
the Opportunity Program, the Coalition
for the Use of Learning Skills (CULS)
and Minority Student Services (MSS),
and is funded by a variety of University
organizations.
Garcia, who has been the Affirmative
Action Office's program coordinator,
since January, said he hopes the task
force will continue to deal with issues
that involve minorities. "When the day
is over, the spirit of Minority Student
Day should carry on throughout the
year,'"'he said.

Soviets suggest JFK plot
MOSCOW (XJPI) - Soviet television
featured an hour-long film report on
Dallas Sunday night, suggesting
President . John Kennedy's
assassination was planned by the city's
rich reactionaries.
The show, narrated by Moscow
commentator Valentin Zorin, devoted
15 minutes to the Kennedy
assassination and said it was planned
by the late oil millionaire H. L. Hunt.
THE SHOW on Dallas was one of a
series of 11 programs on American
cities in the 70s being run on Soviet
television.
The program showed how the Dallas
oil boom gave birth to a new class of
super rich - including H. L. Hunt -
and offset this with footage of the
poorer sections of the city. r
The Soviet .program poitrayed the
assassination as the culmination of a
struggle between the new oil
millionaires of Dallas and the Eastern
moneyed establishment represented by
President Kennedy.
