I THE MICHIGAN DAILY PA (1W ]ANSWER TO INTERNATIONAL INTEGRATION: Co-Op Residents Have Equal Share in Responsibilities, E * SSuAr, L1AAv )eciio" _ By ROBERTA SOFFIN The answer to international in- tegration in the University hous- ing system has already been found by the Inter-Cooperative Council. In these co-op living units, stu- dents of widely diversified back- grounds live together, reaping the benefits of their cultural ex- change. There are three men's, four wo- men's, and one married couples' co-ops, owned by the I.C.C. The Co-ops are set tip and run en- tirely by students who live or eat, in the houses. Each house is literally "turned over" to its residents, who share the responsibilities of food pur- chasing and preparation and the upkeep of the house, including cleaning and repairs. Co-ops operate under the Roch- dale principles of cooperative liv- ing: There is no discrimination of membership because of race, col- or,' religion, or political belief; every member has one vote and shares equally in all decisions; duties and responsibilities are equally shared by all members. William Armstrong, Grad., pres- ident of I.C.C., explains that the working schedule demands four to six hours per week from each student. "Work holidays" are held each semester, when a few extra hours aredevoted to major or mi- nor repairs to the house. Students with any proficiency in carpentry, plumbing, cooking, dietetics, electrical servicing, book- keeping, or administration are a great asset to the house, he said. Co-opers treasure their individ- ualism. Armstrong remarks that co-ops inflict no group pressure on the student to conform. One of the most distinct advan- tages of co-op living as Armstrong sees it is the close contact and friendly relations that inevitably form among students with varied cultural backgrounds. Foreign students compose approximately one third of the co-op member- ship. With so many roomers and boarders, there are bound to be some who shirk their duties. In such a case, the Student is fined. Luther Buchele, executive secre- tary of I.C.C., admits that the "co- operative" spirit sometimes fal- ters, but the important thing is the experience gained in working out your own problems. Each house has some sort of governing body, but members find, says Armstrong, that they must take the initiative themselves to organize any projects. Women's co-operatives include Muriel Lester, A. K. Stevens, Har- old Osterweil House, and Mark VIII Co-op. Freshman women may not live .in these independent co- ops. Men may choose among John Nakamura, Robert Owen or Michi- gan Co-ops. Louis Brandeis House is an apartment co-op for mar- Tied students, housing seven fan ilies. in the women's co-ops, how directors, whom the women heb select, and students find a warm personal relationship. Althoug these co-ops are under the regulh tions of the Women's Judiciary, more lenient, less rigid enforce ment of rules is possible becaus of the small size of the units. Hen again, members are more inde pendent and less subject to a bu reaucratic existence. In the future, Armstrong hope to see the I.C.C. houses becom more integrated into campus life MAKING PLANS for the second co-ed production of Soph Show, Amy Morrow, Nancy Moore, Alan Nachman, Harvey Katz, Toby Stern and Irwin Gage are eager to start work on "Girl Crazy." Sophomore Class Sets Falf Musical Comedy i _ By ROBERTA SOFFIN e Encouraged by the success of last year's Soph Show, the Sopho- more class will continue the new co-ed production . this year with "Girl Crazy" a musical comedy by George and Ira Gershwin. "Good News", put on last fall, was the first sophomore class pro- duction that combined the talents of both men and women class members. Created to rouse class spirit, the project encourages co-educational cooperation and offers students a background of experience in hold- ing responsible positions, say gen- eral co-chairmen Adrienne Rich- ards and Lawrence Velvel. Features Familiar Songs "Girl Crazy", adapted from a book by Guy- Balton and ,John McGowan, will feature such fa- miliar songs as "I've Got Rhythm" "Biding My Time," "Embraceable You," "But Not for Me," "Sam- son and Delilah," and "Barbary. Coast." Revolving around a young man who is sent West: because his father wants to cure him of liquor and women, the show is set in Custerville, where there haven't been any women for 30 years. The young man proceeds to bring the East to the West and makes his dude ranch into a night club. There are male-and- female come- dy leads for prospective tryouts. The show will also feature a full orchestra. Professional Direction The. crew will be working under direction of Ted Heusel, director of the Ann Arbor Civic Theatre, who assisted last year's group. Show planning began last spring after the central committee, head- ed by co-chairmen Miss Richards md Mr. Velvel, were chosen. Work- ing with them are Marcia Keller and Alan Nachman, who handle e Q publicity. Direction will be handled by Toby Stern and Bob Shaye. Amy Morrow and Teague Jack- son are chairmen of productions, while Nancy Moore and Dave Metzher head programs. Kathy Deutsch and Miles Dylan are dance chairmen, and Joan Koent- zer and Irwin Gage ar music chair- men. Treasurers are Barbara Rosbe and Keith Kussmaul, while Duffy Engle and Jerry Weber are secre- taries. Costume chairmen are Lois Wurster and Martin Newman. Car- ol Shapiro and Terry Thure will be in charge of make-up. Sub-committee chairmen include Judy Gross and Dave Palm on posters and Carol Buckner and Ted Cohn on stunts. The stage crew will be under the direction of Hal Randelman and Lynn Schoonmaker will be in charge of props. Judy Caplan will handle contacts. i Mass Meeting The Central Committee has scheduled a mass meeting for all those who wish to try out for the show or any of the various com- mittees for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24, in the League. During orientation week, stunts for this meeting will be presented on the Diagonal and at Water- man Gym on League night. As in other years, the show will be spon- 'sored by the League. Eager to continue their plans this fall, the Central Committee promises "fun and experience for all who participate. Whether in the spotlight or working the spotlight, there is an opportumity for every- one to help make the show a suc- cess," Miss Richards commented. Three years ago, the sophomore women presented Soph Cabaret, a carnival affair at the League. Soph Scandals, the next year, was a gay musical staged again by only sophomore women. :;:: '>F s x +iA '.
