NAACP By EUGENE PAK Speaking before an audience of more than 50 listeners at the East Quad auditorium last night, civil rights leader and University alumnus Rev. Charles Adams said the United States under the Reagan administration is a fascist and racist state. "We're living in a crisis, a crisis not faced in over 50 years," said Adams, former president of the Detroit chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Although mild-mannered and humorous, Adams vehemently indicted Reagan's policies, saying they promote increased racism and a warped fundamentalism. leader Adams criticized Reagan's "overemphasis on law and order at the expense of liberty and life," his consistent support of big business, and the blind, almost religious patriotism toward Reagan that feeds the military buildup. "The feeling is we've got to kill somebody, we've got to bomb, kill, destroy," said Adams, referring to the invasion of Grenada. CITING voting statistics from the last presidential election, Adams said most blacks have not supported, and have certainly not benefitted from, Reagan's policies. "There is no racial or ethnic group more vehemently and consistently opposed to President Reagan than African Americans," The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, February 11, 1987-- Page 3 blasts Reagan said Adams. He said Reagan's traditionalism and patriotism are only masks for racism. Adams said Reagan himself is not the problem, but is only "the fever blister on the swollen lip of a sick society." Adams then outlined some of the problems facing American blacks and showed how they are really produced from the overall structure of society. The increasing and widely- publicized occurences of black-on- black crime are fundamentally a result of the oppression and inferiority breeded by large crime syndicates, according to Adams. "The auto theft ring in Detroit is hooked up to a nationwide ring," in which poor urban black teens are trained by organized crime members. "They exploit the poverty and hopelessness that exists in the urban African American community," said Adams. He said society's response does not attack these root causes. "We can't just beef up local law enforcement," Adams said, "because (the problem) does not come from the streets, but originates in the suites." The high college and high- school dropout rates for blacks are results of inequitable distribution of public funds to schools, according to Adams.

COPIES - BINDINGS + PASSPORT PHOTOS By MARTHA SEVETSON The Michigan Student Assembly last night tabled a resolution which would ask students if assembly involvement in non-campus issues s appropriate. If passed, the resolution will add a referendum question to the March ballot. LSA junior and assembly representative David Newblatt, who proposed the resolution, said the allot question would be non- binding. "I would like to put the question to the students and see how they feel," he said. The ballot proposal mirrors a referendum question already drafted in a petition by the Involved in Michigan Political Action Com - mittee. The IMPAC proposal, backed by 1800 student signatures, was presented to MSA on Monday. "I would like the question to come from MSA because if it does, it's an internal improvement drive," Newblatt said. "If it comes from the other side, it's an attack on MSA." IMPAC Vice Chairperson Eddie Mehrfar, an LSA junior, said he would withdraw his ballot question if the assembly's proposal passed. "We want to allow MSA to make up their own minds - if they want to listen to the students," Mehrfar said. "But if they don't want to do it, then we'll do it."

The educational curriculum is decreed by the Minister of Education, he said, and all courses ire obligatory. No student govern - oent exists at Soviet universities, so students have no input into educational policies and reforms. Upon graduation, most students must take employment wherever the education minister decrees, Goldfarb said. Only 5 percent are, allowed the choice of continuing on to postgraduate education. That 5 percent, he added, is picked by the Communist Party for their political standing.
