DISCRIMINATION STUDY:
Human Relations Group
To Conduct Self-Survey
Leaders in an exploratory com-
mittee will meet Tuesday to re-
activate their efforts toward a
survey of human relations in the
Ann Arbor community.
During the summer the still-
informal group set its sights on a
comprehensive survey of many
problems in human relations, such
as attitudes in housing and em-
ployment of minority groups.
Education, public facilities, health
and recreation are areas that may
also be considered.
The group plans to conduct a
self-survey. A self-survey differs
most in its goal of mass volunteer
participation in collecting, analyz-
ing and discussing data, with pro-
fessionals used only for advice.
In Ann Arbor, the origins of
the self-survey have come from
the citizens as well as from the
University community. In many
communities where a self survey
has been tried, it has focused pub-
lic attention and interest on hu-
man relations problems. Concrete
steps for solution have often been
achieved.
The present group is limiting it-
self to setting up a larger group
which will conduct the survey.
Members were impressed early in
their discussions on human rela-
tions that despite a number of in-
vestigations there was little defi-
nite or comprehensive information
on the status of minority groups
in Ann Arbor.
Ask Community Support
Sponsorship of the self-survey
by as many community organiza-
tions as possible is a goal of the
exploratory committee. Already the
Ann Arbor Council of Churches,
the United Church Women and
League Listening
Rooms To Open
The library and listening rooms
in the League will open Monday,
October 10.
Listening rooms will not be
available to men unless accompan-
ied by a coed.
the North Side Civic Association
have decided to officially support
the project.
Members of at least 40 organiza-
tions, many as official observers,
have attended preliminary meet-
ings, chaired by Donald Pelzel of
the Survey Research Center and
Prof. J. Willcox Brown, formerly
of the Survey Research Center and
Prof. J. Willcox Brown, formerly
of the natural resources school.
At the meetings it was generally
felt that a survey would be especi-
ally timely due to the possibility
of the city council establishing a
human relations commission next
spring, when the new city charter
takes effect. The charter specifi-
cally empowers the council to es-
tablish such a commission.
Demonstrating citizen interest
in human relations problems, pro-
viding the council or the commis-
sion with comprehensive factual
information and supporting the
commission's activities were three
roles suggested for the survey
group.
Need 150 Volunteers
At an exploratory committee
meeting this summer it was esti-
mated that a self-survey would
require 150 volunteer workers, one
or more technical consultants, sev-
eral hundred dollars expenses and
one or two years' work, all subject
to variation with the scope of the
survey.
Interest was expressed at the
meeting in such problem areas as
"Are landlords willing to rent to
rate withsabilities, training and
all groups?", "Is pay commensu-
educational background for all
groups?" and "Do foreign students
face prejudice whichmmakes it
hard for them to assimilate?"
A temporary structure for the
exploratory committee was agreed
on during the summer. Five sub-
committees which will soon elect
their chairmen are contact, pro-
gram planning, public relations,
arrangements and finance. A
temporary steering committee will
consist of the five chairmen and
six members elected at the meet-
ing.
