UCM to offer second racism study
Nationally-known civil rights leaders will participate in the University Christian Movement (UCM) course on institutional racism next semester, the Rev. Thomas Rehorn, campus minister of the Wesley Foundation and UCM staff member, said yesterday.
Mr. Rehorn said registration for the four-week course will begin sometime after the first of the year. He said the course will feature speakers, individual and group research, discussion groups and films.
Hosea Williams, one of the lieutenants of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and key figure in last spring's Poor Peoples' Campaign, will speak at the first session.
The Rev. John Fry, pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Chicago and champion of the poor in that city, is also scheduled to speak. Fry was recently called before a Senate hearing investigating his involvement with the Blackstone Rangers, a militant Chicago gang.
Mr. Rehorn said others now being contacted to speak include Cleveland Mayor Carl Stokes, community organizer Saul Alinsky, Stanford theologian Robert McAfee Brown, Students for a Democratic Society leader Tom Hayden and Florence Kennedy, black attorney who has defended militant H. Rapp Brown.
"We are trying to involve not just those men who are academically sound, but those men who have been on the firing line," Mr. Rehorn explained.
The course has been developed by UCM staff members, faculty and graduate student discussion group leaders from the fall semester UCM white racism course. The student institutional racism research group, which sent 10 people to the National Student Association Conference on Institutional Racism at Notre Dame University Thanksgiving week, also helped plan the course.
This semester's course is focused on institutional racism
ASC will review progress on Senate Code revisions
The All-Student Council (ASC) this week will hear a report from three ASC members on the progress the committee has made, said Carol Leek, Fort Scott junior and secretary of the ASC.
The conference committee is composed of three ASC members and three University Senate members. The committee is presently revising the two approved versions of the Senate Code.
of the Senate Code and the Senate Council's version," Miss Leek said.
"We will hopefully be ready by second semester," Miss Leek said. "This week is about the only full week we have to work on the Senate Code. After this week, we have vacation and then finals."
Miss Leek said she saw no major problems in the passage of the Senate Code by conference committee members.
"There are no major differences in the Senate Code by the ASC and University Senate that can't be worked out," Miss Leek said.
Iraq may help Jordan
Jordanian military sources said today Iraq may send more troops and contingents of Soviet-built MIG17 and MIG21 jet fighters to Jordan to bolster defenses against Israel after a series of border incidents in which Jordanian troops were involved.
Jordan said the latest clash
was Sunday night when Israeli troops shelled a Jordanian settlement south of the Dead Sea, killing a woman and injuring five persons. Unconfirmed reports in Jordan said Israelis used jet fighter-bombers in the attack.
Iraq already has 17,000 troops in Jordan.

"The first part of responsible action is doing your homework," Mr. Rehorn explained, "as opposed to the 'sit-in syndrome.'"
"to indicate, functionally, that it's a different course" from last semester's white racism course, Rehorn said. He said that dealing with racism on the institutional level was "a glaring omission in our last course."
Mr. Rehorn said the course "will be just another educational program for some people, but the springboard for some white people to go to work on themselves in this society, especially as relates to this campus."
Mr. Rehorn said many of the 287 participants in the fall course asked what they could do to help alleviate their own and others' racism, "but we just didn't have the avenues ready," he said.
The institutional racism course, however, will provide some of those avenues. Mr. Rehorn outlined what he described as a "grandiose job," involving "trying to develop the
