Jacobsons Ann Arbor-NO 5-6111 (Continued from Page 1) In Michigan, a recent Su- preme Court decision mandates that students be allowed to vote in their college towns if they meet normal state resi- dency requirements. And a pro- posal making it easier for third parties to gain local ballot re- cognition will possibly be con- sidered by Ann Arbor voters in November. With the newly gained right to vote, swelled ranks of stu- dent voters couldconceivably launch a number of radicals in- to the Ann Arbor city govern- ment. Leaders of the local Radical Independent - Human Rights Party are well aware of the op- portunities. Formed last win- ter as an Ann Arbor alternative to the two party system, the party hopes to gain wide sup- port, as well as broaden its base to include blacks and workers from the rest of the community. Their plans, however, like those of SGC and of ad hoc coalitions past and future, rest on one lingering uncertainty- the degree of student interest and commitment. It is this question mark that punctuates all predictions for the fall and, in many cases, holds back more extensive planning. Last yea'r's students, indeed, responded o n 1 y half-heartedly to calls for action-while a sit- in to push for a student-run bookstore drew widespread sup- port the' year before, a similar attempt over six radical de- mands suffered an ignoble death in the Administration Bldg. last February. It is impossible to tell if this year's new students, primarily incoming freshmen, will be any different. Orientation g r o u p leaders say that the few days of orientation form little basis for prediction. Several, however, re- You can't always get what you want. Bu ca get wha you weed... 1 ANN at BN port a solid impression of pas- siveness. The leaders seem to agree that the class of '75 is not naive. "The freshmen are aware." they claim, but some add, "They just don't care." One reporter who spent sev- eral days with an orientation group concluded, "Their heroes aren't Rennie Davises; their heroes are Ralph Naders." Lots of freshmen will wet their feet, she predicted, but not very many will jump into campus po- litical life and swim.. It is likely, of c o u r s e, that freshmen and other students as well will approach the political pool less directly. Leaders of the left who envision changing po- litical structures also see their movement as a change in life- style. One radical organizer talks about "emphasizing alternate institutions and creating a new society" as the ultimate goal, and points to the rise of food cooperatives and collective hous- ing on campus. Another observer sees the development of a "sense of community" as the most im- portant goal for students this year. If campus activists are uncer- tain about support, they are nonetheless certain of one thing -the issues are there. New menus seldom appear on cam- pus; radicals, h o w e v e r, have never hesitated to warm up left- overs from preceding terms, and last term ended with a marked number of leftovers. A drive to ban classified and military research from the Uni- versity was delayed last spring when Senate Assembly, the fac- ulty representative body respon- sible for drawing up research guidelines, referred the question to two of its committees. Action on the committee re- ports is scheduled for early this fall, however, and leaders of the movement against such research say they will continue their op- position.

But radicals had asked for acceptance of a policy with more teeth-the.Of- fice of Student Services policy barring point-blank all corpora- tions operating in such coun- tries. For a decade, activists have sought to ban Reserve Officer Training C o r p s (ROTC) from the c a m p u s. However, having moved to seek total federal re- imbursement for the ROTC pro- gram here, the University now appears willing to accept a De- partment of Defense proposal that would cover the costs only partially. Demands for a free child care center, student control over the Course Mart-a loosely organ- ized literary college program of interdepartmental courses-and use of University facilities by the anti-war movement have also gone unheeded. While these demands simmer, ever - increasing awareness on the part of women is likely to cause another revival of em- phasis. In resolving a suit by the Department of Health, Educa- tion and Welfare (HEW), the University last year committed itself to hiring more women and to ending sex discrimination. Half a year before the HEW suit, blacks also negotiated a set of commitments from the Uni- versity, in regard to supporting an increase in black enrollment. In contrast to the spring of 1970, when blacks initiated the closing down of the University for 10 days to press for their demands, last year was a quiet one for black students on cam- pus. But this year, according to one member of the Black Stu- dent Union, continuing efforts to work on implementation of the demands will be "a lot more intensified; we'll take a much closer- look this year at what's going on." While the Universityappears to be meeting its schedule of in- creased admissions, a number of black students and adminis- trators are concerned that the level of supportive services for the h e w 1 y admitted students will not reach a sufficient level. The summer, as one observer puts it, is a twilight zone, a time of suspended animation. But now blacks, women, radical leaders, student government of- ficials, all types of students are beginning tomove again, slowly. "There are thousands of stu- dents on this campus." the ob- server continues, "and commit- ted to a common cause they can do just a b o u t anything they want." Thousands of students - a sleeping giant. And no one is really sure if the giant will wake up. Use fire carefully. 1 *I 4 ' .............. ............ : - -- --- .............. ......... ...................... iUWITh LDD ~IYChMMKecking Accounts IAAYour choice of SPECIALCHECK for busy people who only write a few checks no minimum balance... just 10# a check ... and you get a monthly statement ins, . . . tead * of the quarterly statement offered elsewhere.
