"What is American Pictures?"
asks signs blanketing campus.
On Thursday, March 19, the
University will find out.
Sponsored by Students in Social
Action, American Pictures is a
journey through the side of
America that many of us are
unfamiliar with.
The slide show is a production
using over 4,000 slides. It
contrasts the poverty in the rural
south and industrial north with the
luxurious lifestyles of wealthy
America.
Jacob Holdt, a native Dane, is
the vagabond/photographer/author
who created the production after
seeing a problem with the social
values of this country.
Holdt traveled throughout
America for five years, and has
stayed everywhere from the
mansions of the Rockefellers and
Kennedys to ghettos in cities and
shacks of black Southern
plantation workers. He sold his
blood and plasma once every two
weeks to finance the filming and
pictures.
Students in Social Action hope
to increase the awareness of social
problems in America. Students in
Social Action organizer David
Heller said the group wants to
"arouse social awareness
throughout campus" with the
show, and hopes it will provide
aid to the homeless and solve the
racial problems occuring in Ann
Arbor.

The University's men's
cheerleading squad will be cut from
12 members tol0 next fall in
accordance with Big Ten rules. The
cut will become effective tonight as
a committee appointed by Don
Canham, Director of Athletics,
chooses new members.
The committee consists of Don
Treviline, the squad's current
advisor, Bob DeCarolis, an
administrative associate in the
Athletic Department; Howard Brab-
son, an associate professor in the
School of Social Work; and Bob
Darden, the men's gymnastics
coach, according to Brad Frey. Frey
is this year's co-captain along with
David Kaplan; both are also on the
committee.
Canham could not be reached and
Brabson would not comment.
Both Frey and last year's coach
Bob Seymour said the committee
members are unfamiliar with cheer-
leading.
Treviline said, "I've been with
the squad forsover a year, I think I
should know something by now."
In the past, new members were
chosen by the team's captains, the
coach, and senior members. Neither
Frey or Seymour knew why
Canham created the committee this
year.
According to Frey, "They're
stripping down the program to its
bare bones. We were looked up to
by other squads in the nation, but
now by only having ten people we
won't be able to enter a national
competition."
The team ranked fifth in the
nation at the National Cheerleading
Association's competition last
January.
According to Seymour, reducing
the number of members would
limit the amount of stunts
cheerleaders can perform. Frey feels
that stunts become more dangerous
with fewer members performing it.
"They (the Athletic Department)
want us to be cheerleaders like we
were in the 70s," Seymour said.

their demands are appropriate but I
don't think others of them are. And
the businesses in theUnion are
private enterprises ... and for the
benefit of all the students.
"I don't think they have any
complaints of discrimination by the
businesses in the Union (and) I
don't think the Union is an
appropriate place for this," he added.
BAM organizer Barron Wallace
said the protest was held to
demonstrate Black students' power
and unity. "We're sure we won't
economically deprive the Union of
very much today, and even if we did
they'd get it back tomorrow: the
point is when we do need to resort
to (boycotting) the Union or the
University of something, 400-plus
people here will be mobilized to do
it."

fraternity's status to staff shortages
that often prevent the department
from enforcing city codes. "En-
forcement is not a high priority in
the way I spend my time," she said.
Pierce said "It's unfortunate but
we have a lot of laws on the books
which are poorly enforced. I wish
we did a better job enforcing them."
"I'd like to tell you that if I'm
re-elected that will change," he said,
drawing laughter from the crowd of
40. City elections will be held on
April 6.
Pierce's opponent, Council-
member Gerald Jernigan (R-Fourth
Ward), said the city should add more
staffers and perhaps pay citizens to
help enforce city services.
Jernigan reiterated his support
for adding more police officers to
combat the city's crime rate, which
rose 17 percent in 1986. Pierce has
questioned whether adding officers
would help reduce crime.
Ray Detter, a local resident, said
he is concerned about the crime rate
and asked the candidates if they
would support a city tax on the,
Nectarine Ballroom, Taco Bell, and
other businesses that he said attract
troublemakers.
Neither candidate supported the
tax. Pierce said it would restrict the
business's civil liberties.
