'Frontier' in U.S. cities HUD by Jim Evlnger Senior Staff Writer "It may seem a paradox, but I believe that today the frontier of America lies in our cities," Francis Fisher told an audience Thursday in the Sheldon Memorial Art Gal lery auditorium. Fisher, regional administrator for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), was one of a series of speakers partici pating in the World in Revolution Conference which ends Friday. He described the activities of HUD in working to solve what he termed the blight of our cities to day.

Ribicoff cancels NU appearance Remainder of program continues as scheduled The scheduled appearance of U.S. Sen. Abraham Ribicoff at an all University convocation to have been held this afternoon at 1:30 was cancelled late Thursday at the request of the Connecticut Demo crat. Ribicoff told the ASUN office that pressing business in the Sen ate would prevent him from com ing. He was to have been the key note speaker for the World in Revo lution Conference which ends Fri day afternoon. With the exception of Ribicoff, the program will proceed as sched uled. Dr. Paul Miller, assistant secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (for Education), will speak at. 10:30 a.m. at the Nebraska Theater. Detroit Congressman John Con yers Jr. will give an address at 3 p.m. in the Nebraska Union ball room. The conference closes with a roundtable discussion at 4:30 p.m. in the ballroom with Miller and Conyers. Miller will discuss "Federal Aid to Higher Education." He present ly serves as chairman of the Fed eral Interagency on Education. Conyers' speech, "Crisis in the Cities Detroit" will cover the problems in his own First District of Michigan, including the Detroit area that was the scene of the worst of the riots last summer. Conyers serves as the only Ne gro membei on the House Judici ary Committee, through which all civil rights legislation pass. He was the sponsor of an amend ment passed by the House which strengthened the Fair Housing Sec tion of the 1966 Civil Rights Bill. Ks is also sponsor of the Full Op portunity Act, This bill would provide $30 bil lion yearly to aid low Income Amer extensive analysis of the problems in specific locales. In seeking solu tions HUD tries to fill gaps between the local and state governments with federal aid, Fisher explained. This contrasts with past opera tions which he spoke of as indepen dent agencies operating independ ently of each other who approached city governments and offered their programs like door-to-door sales man. Fisher emphasized that HUD serves as a coordinator advising cities how to best utilize available resources and in what order of pri ority. A corollary to the coordinating function of HUD has been the de- icans in the areas of jobs, housing and education; it includes strong anti-discrimination laws and en forcement provisions. VMM with by Jan Parks Senior Staff Writer AWS President-elect Mimi Baker said Thursday that the AWS action program this spring will involve a re-evaluation of the junior-senior key system and the revision of the AWS handbook. "Legislation on sophomore keys" or on a change in women's hours policies probably won't occur be fore next fall," the president said. The most important goal of AWS this spring is "to get the new gears of AWS working," she explained. Miss Baker felt that fulfilling the provisions of the newly ratified con stitution will "take a lot of doing." "We have no reference from past years of how the new AWS struc ture will operate," she noted. The newly ratiiied constitution should give AWS a dynamic start, Miss Baker predicted, because of the new structure of AWS. Susie Sitorius.

She noted that poll of ficials ran out of printed ballots centralization of authority and ad ministration. Fisher explained that the distance between authority and its discretion and those who were to receive the aid has been too great because of centralization. HUD requires direct participation and involvement by the citizens which the program will affect. Fish er said this was extremely neces sary in order for the program to be effective. "We are Involved in a simply massive decentralization of author-; ity," he said, adding it is no longer!, a political issue which divides the major parties. He said it is an ac cepted necessity. Fisher said that in the case of representative democracy and cen tralized bureaucracy, this authority has not been effective in adminis- i tering the welfare programs. "Poverty is a vicious cycle," he explained, "where there is no in come, which produces a very poor eiivironment, which results in a poor education, which results in being unemployed, which results in no income." He gave two reasons for the structural poverty problem. the economy has changed so that unskilled jobs have turned into Cont. on page 4 I" i i lanniBiiBHiiaKUBiiBiKi All-university seminar 1 to pen toitfe i i Legal Control for Drugs will be the opening topic of the All University Drug Seminar Sun day night, according to Mark Schreiber, chairman of the ASUN Student Welfare Comrait , tee. .. , ... ... ..The meeting at 7:30 in Sel leck Quadrangle will feature Evart L.

Explaining the evaluation proce dures planned for the junior-senior key system, Miss Baker said, "We will try to determine the success of the key system by contacting women's student assistants, resi dent directors, and key chairmen in the living units. "If we're going to expand our key system or have other changes in women's hours we need a firm foundation to work on." she ex plained. Miss Baker described several of the provisions of the AWS hand book as "outdated." One stipula tion that should be changed is the rule against taking Lincoln over nights on 2 o'clock nights, she said. Another change in the handbook that Miss Baker made concerned the limitation on the number of over-nights a coed may take during a semester. "I see no need to limit these," the president remarked, if a girl doesn't want to stay on campus for a weekend she should not be forced to do so.
