Michael Davis: A reminder of
the past returns to SGC post

By REBECCA WARNER ;
The newly-organized Program.
for Educational and So c i a l
Change (PESO) will hold an or-a
ientation meeting tonight at 7:30j
in Aud D, Angell Wall.
Made up of a loose coalition of'
about 40 faculty, undergraduates,I
and graduate students, PESC
aims at affording students oppor-i
tunities to study social and edu-
cational change in non-tradition-;
al classroom environments.7
PESC also hopes to help stu-
dents determine the forms of their!
own education by allowing them
to create independent study pro-
grams, group projects, concentra-
tions, and graduate programs.-
Tonight's meeting will include:
several short speeches explaining
PESC, its goals. and its plannedE

activities. Faculty and students
attending will then begin organiz-
ing group and independent study
projects for the coming semes{
ter.
History Prof. Sam Warner will;
speak on PESC's relationship to
University s t u d e n t s. Adrienne
Harris, graduate student in psy-
chology, will speak on PESC's
plans for involving the Ann Arborj
and Washtenaw County com-,
munities in PESC activities.
The PESC booklet, presently be-
ing distributed, lists the pro-
gram's 40 affiliated courses and
explains PESC's goals and edu-
cational philosophy. Copies will
be available at the orientationI
meeting.
PESO courses include a wides
range of academic divisions. Cour-
ses in the departments of anthro-
pology. economics, geography, so-!
ciology. and Residential College
humanities and social sciences will
be offered next term.
PESC teachers plan to facilitate
group work and independent study
in order to avoid traditional stu-
dent-teacher relationships and
non-constructive competition be-
tween students.

In November of that year, he
resigned his seat, saying "when
the pleasure goes out of work, it
is time to quit."
Now, with evident zest, Davis
returns to a different Council.
His knowledge of the University,
SGC experience, and service on
numerous student and University
committees and councils make it
inevitable he will be looked to
for leadership on SGC.
Thin a n d dark-complexioned,
Davis peers through his gold
wire-rim glasses and speaks in a
monotonic voice. He reclines on
his bed in Nakamura co-op-the
big blue barn-like house near
Hill and Packard where has
lived since coming to the Uni-
versity in 1965 after graduating
from Case Western Reserve.
Now 28 years old Davis comes
from anolder "generation" than
the students who have run Coun-
cil in recent years. Active in the
early civil rights movement, he
was narrowly missed by a snip-
er's bullet while registering black
voters in Mississippi the summer,
before arriving in Ann Arbor.
The next summer, he worked on
a community organizing project
on the west side of Cleveland.
He was a member of SDS until
early 1968.
Refusing all political labels
save that-of 'demodrat,' Davis
believes he retains much of the
attitude of the early movement
-involving a "faith in people's
instincts, basic decency, ability to
work things out," feelings Davis
says had to develop over time,
not coming easily or naturally.
Unlike many of his peers, he has
not found his political answer in
radical ideology.
"Socialism leaves the most
important questions unanswer-
ed," says Davis. "Socialists have
a fear of people's judgment, and
have fallen back on a formal
ideology as their checkpoint for
truth. They become comfortable
and sterile with their dogma.
They lose contact with the
world."
"Every revolution since the
French has promised an end to
human misery," continues Davis,
whose doctoral dissertation is an
inquiry into the foundations of
political obligation. "Studying
them makes you think the ques-
tion has been posed all wrong.
Fleming appointed to unit
You start all over, ask why. I'm
doing that."
Davis takes the apellation
'democrat' seriously, and his
disdain for radical rhetoric has
not kept him from strong and
stubborn advocacy of student
power in University decision-
making. Envisioning an eventual
system of regental election by
vote of the entire University
community, Davis enunciated his
beliefs in the widely-critleiied
speech he gave in M4arch 1.968
on behalf of the student body,
welcoming the newly inaugurated
University President R o b b e n
Fleming.
Warning of the "profound
transformation" that had already
begun, D a v i s declared, "the
University has been, but cannot
long remain, an aristocracy."
Speaking of the major ques-
tions troubling the campus, Davis
said, "What . . . the decisions
will be is important. Sut how
they will be made is more im-
portant. Insofar as they art
made by commonly agreed upon
procedures, they will bind us all.
Insofar as they are made in the
old way, they will be sand in
our face ...
The idea for GROUP-the slate
of experienced SOC hands who
won four seats in last month's
election-was presented to Davis
a few days before the filing dead-
line by John Koza, Grad, who
also won a seat on the slate.
A combination of factors-in-
cluding "time on my hands" and
a belief SQC was in trouble and
he could help-pushed Davis en-
thusiastically into the race.
Davis now sees the first task
of Council as "carpentry, not
painting." SGC must set about
appointing students to all the
University committees to whidh
they have representation, and
establishing an efficient Meehan-
ism through which such appoint-
ments can readily be filled.
He sees Council as being the
"center of a web" radiating out
through the student body and
4 the University, A firm believer
in "over-co-operation" r a t he r
than nop-co-operation, Davis sees
Council appointing twice the
number of students required to
fill vacancies on University com-
mittees if they feel students are
under-represented, and thus ac-
tively pressing the is ut in an
ongoing way.

Harvard then submitted plans for-
affirmative action programs to

able by that organization.
Currently, both universities are
operating under affirmative action
plans for increased hiring of wo-
men which have not been approved
by HEW.
In fact, Harvard still employs
only two women as tenured pro-
fessors on its faculty.
Michigan State has not yet be-

Duke University presently has
no programs which, ensure equit-

Logan Wilson, president of ACE,
staunchly upholds his selection of
the members of the committee.
They are intended, he said, to
help HEW clarify its procedures
and better standardize its policies
on sex discrimination throughout
its regional offices. Therefore, be
fsaid, it is better to have a group
of people who are "experienced in
working with HEW."
"I'm sure that all of the people
on the committee are fair-minded
individuals who want to do the
right thing," he said. "They're all
for the elimination of discrimina-
tion."
