I1CSEE NEWS HAPPEN CAL7-AJLY Down to the wire It can be safely said that all the candidates in Monday's city election are running for office, but Democratic Mayoral candidate James Kenworthy is carrying it out to the letter. During his daily door-to-door campaign, Kenworthy can be seen literally running across lawns bet- ween doorsteps. Kenworthy;'s quick steps help him get the job done quickly and the former Fourth Ward Councilman claims he has only fallen twice since his fast-pace campaign began. Funky but chick Students may remember seeing Logos Book Store's window display recently with all the baby chickens bopping around. The S. University retailer bought two dozen infant chickens from a Milan hatchery to complement their Easter decor. However, when customers began of- fering to buy the chicks, the merchant began selling them for two-and- a-half bucks a peep. After nearly a dozen were sold, according to store manager Edward Sayles, a call was made to the local humane society who informed the store that the practice was illegal. Logo's workers promptly rounded up the chicks and sent them back to the hatchery. It simply was a case of putting too many eggs in one window. Star trekin' By jupiter, if it isn't Mr. Sulu.

Take ten Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) on the evening of April 1, 1969 abandoned plans to disrupt University laboratories involved in war research two days later on the anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. They voted instead to hold a rap-in on war research in an attempt to gain greater student support. The proposal to disrupt war research laboratories came in response to a nation-wide call by Rev. Ralph Abernathy for a one-day halt in such research on all university campuses.

The Michigan Daily-Saturday, March 31, 1979-Page 3 FIRST AT TEMPT ON A NATIONAL SCALE Minorities focus of 'U' research, By TOM MIRGA Two University social researchers, working independently of each other, are involved in studies intended to produce the first nationally represen- tative information on the social, physical and economic status of American blacks and Chicanos. The project directors, James Jackson and Carlos Arce, are working through the Survey Research Center, one of four divisions of the University's Institute for Social Research. Although they are working on separate projects, the researchers agree that earlier studies of blacks and chicanos have not paid sufficient attention to the unique issues of culture and heritage. "THERE IS no want of research on blacks, thestudies go back to the days of slavery," Jackson said. "However, most were conducted by whites from a non-culturally relevant perspective. This large body of research could lead to fallacies about blacks, and that, basically, provided the germ that star- ted this study." of their studies are being done throughout the country and will involve well over 5,000 families, half of these black and the other half Chicano. "We've gone from places as big as East Los Angeles to towns like San Juan, Texas, an extremely tiny city between Brownsville and Harlington," said Arce. "We're conducting inter- views all across the country, from Wheeling, W. Virginia in the East to National City, California, which is about as far southwest as you can go in the United States." ARCE SAID that one of his major concerns was finding people of Mexican ancestry in an unbiased way. "Of cour- se, we could have gone to areas like the Vernor Avenue corridor in Detroit, East Los Angeles or Laredo, Texas, where Chicano populations are as high as 90 to 100 per cent. Studies in those areas could tell us something, but wouldn't give a complete represen- tative picture." "We want to look at families as units and how they work," said Jackson. "We only 45 survived the weeding out process. Both Arce and Jackson said the results of their studies are to be used by other social scientists and researchers /as. a comprehensive data base for the production of significant and accurate works on Chicanos and black Americans. "FOR THE FIRST time ever," claimed Arce, "policy makers will be able to examine reliable and valid in- formation to generate more sensitive Al, n J. Pokul's and humane policies that are more in tune to the background and current conditions of Chicanos." Arce went on to say that the core of his survey, in terms of planning, design, and making proposals for fun- ding, will take up to four years to com- plete. "Right now, we're a little past the half-way point, right in the middle of gathering our data," he said. Results of the study are expected to be ready by the early fall. 976. I ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN This fascinating film accuratelv and orecisely re-enacts all of the events, times, places and people involved in the Watergate cover-up. Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman star in brilliant performances, as Bob Woodward and Carl Berstein, the Washington Post reporters who blew the lid off the Nixon White House. Jason .Robards won an Academy Award for his supporting role. An exciting and absorbing cinematic experience heightened by Pokula's use of light and shadows.

The study will be representatire of the entire black population, which is the most critical part of the study in as much as this has nerer been attempted before.' -James Johnson Unirersity researcher I Jackson went on to claim that "there is nearly a total lack of knowledge on Chicano social structures at a national level, and that any addition to that data base would be a real contribution." Ar- ce was not as pessimistic as Jackson, stating that a number of well-done historical studies have been carried out by Chicano historians over the years. "But in the area of national represen- tative studies," he agreed, "infor- mation is essentially non-existent." ARCE AND Jackson hope to remedy that situation with their research. "This study began from the very basics," said Jackson. "The first thing we did was go to local black com- munities and ask the people what they felt were the important things in their lives. Our approach was not to take from the old, but to start from the basics with a very carefully conceived, structurally sound and culturally relevant research instrument." Although they are working separately, Arce and Jackson's projec- ts are similar. Both researchers ex- pressed concern that earlier studies were conducted at local levels and did not represent the total black and Chicano populations in the nation. Both plan to do that by looking at individuals from different generations within the family, and see what values are passed on from one generation to the next. We want to examine the realities of black American life, and how black Americans cope with stress and strain. The study will be representative of the entire black population, which is the most critical part of the study in as much as this has never been attempted before." Jackson's study is being conducted -by over 200 interviewers, all of them black. "The reason for this is that prior research has found that race matching interviewers with subjects produces more accurate results." THIS PROCEDURAL policy has been carried to a further extent by Arce in his study. "All of our materials, training procedures, and question- naires are completely sensitive to the bilingual character of Chicanos," he stated. "Although many Chicanos are bilingual, there are just as many who speak only Spanish, and just as many who speak only English." Arce said 2,000 people were originally contacted as prospective interviewers and national support staff, and of those, The Ann Arbor Filn Cooperative presents at MLB Aud. 3 SATURDAY, MARCH 31 A uirrThe Wrath of God (Werner rzog, 1972) 7 & 10:20-MLB 3 Not enough can be said of this great movie. Features some of the most haunting moments and breathtaking photography in all cinema. In sheer beauty and subtlety of expression, it can be compared to BARRY LYNDON. A 16th-century conquistador (Klaus Kinski) descends into madness as he goes deeper and deeper into the mysterious Peruvian jungle, searching for gold and El Dorado. Highly recommended. In German, with subtitles. HEART of GLASS' (Werner Herzog, 1976) 8:40 only-MLB 3 This latest film by the world's best young filmmaker, Werner Herzog, is a bizarre tale which concerns a disaster at a glass factory. Says Herzog: "In my films I always try to find new images of things-as if you were to open your eyes and see a tree for the very first time." Such new images are realized in HEART OF GLASS, a beautiful film in which Herzog, among other things, hypnotized his entire cast. In German, with subtitles.
