Educators learn from
Sesame Street
NEW YORK,
N.Y.(CPS)-Educators here are
making plans to adapt the
techniques of the "Sesame
Street" television programs to
special programs for high
school and college students.
Representatives of the City
University of New York, the
Educational Broadcasting
Corporation, Amherst College,
Hofstra University, University
of CaliforniaBerkeley and the
Educational Testing Service are
planning a venture aimed at
"increasing significantly skills
in mathematics, reading and
English composition, and
"increacing motivation to
pursue higher education and to
improve study habits.
The programs, which WNET
of New York says would
require 18 months to produce,
would be aimed at "deficient
high school student, first-year
college students and high
school "dropouts.
City University is especially
interested in the plan because
of its 1 2,000 SEEK (Search for
Education, Evaluation and
Knowledge) students and more
than 10,000 students admitted
this year under a new Open
Admissions plan, mostly Blacks
and Puerto Rica as.
The new idea to expand the
ed ucatjon-through -socialization
approach of the "Sesame
Street series was first talked
about at a meeting March 17 in
Tuxedo, N Y. Dr. Allen B.
Ballard, Jr., dean of academic
development at City
University, says it would cost

UndergFoniEid TV
a possibility
o
CHICAGO, ILI .(CPSj-Amidst the
growth of radical newspapers and the more
recent emergence of underground programson
FM radio, comes this country's first
underground television program.
Called the Underground News, the
30-mtnute program is produced, directed
and organized by students and local media
people. It tt seen seven nights a week
throughout metropolian Chicago on
WSNS-TV, a fcjcal all-news UHF station.
Presented usually in an interview format,
the program's guests have included
organizers from the Venceremos Brigades to
Cuba, speakers on Women's Liberation,
people involved in various community
projects, and volunteers from local health
services, as well as well-known spokesman
such as Dave Dellinger, Jane Fonda and the
rock group the Grateful Dead.
By design, the Underground News often
goes beyond being simply an interesting rap
session by providing an opportunity for local
and national organizers, as well as other
people having urgent news for the
community, to speak about upcoming
demonstrations, benefits, trails, and other
important matters.
Commenting on the program's format
and how it differs from "straight" interview
and news shows, host Chuck Collins, a
third-year philosophy student at Lake Forest
College, put il this way: "I'm against putting
people of opposing opinions on the
same show for the sake of conflict. I believe
the people can decide what to believe. And
as far as I'm concerned, Cronkite, Brinkley,
and all network news people are the biggest
war criminals around. Theyhaveconsistcntly
reported that North Vietnam is the enemy
when really it's the men and policy that sent
us there."
The Underground News first appeared
Nov. 16, 1970. Video-taped anywhere from
one day to one week in advance, each
program may take as much as eight hours to
prepare. It may be syndicated.
Campaign GM shifts
into second gear
WASHINGTON, D. C.
(CPS) Campaign GM, the
battle to give the corporate
monster a conscience, is back
this year with a new model.
Despite the setbacks in last
year's battle of the stock
proxy, this year's group is
wiser, stronger, and just as
determined with renewed
focus on the giant's top
investors, especially colleges
and universities.
. Campaign GM,
the brainchild of a group of
innovative, unorthodox
Washington lawyers at the
Project for Corporate
Responsbility, is an attempt
through legal means to make
the company more responsive
to the problems and needs of
American society. Last year's
stock proxy battle at the
annual May stockholders'
meeting stirred tremendous
press coverage, led to much
public and private debate,
upset the usual tranquility of
the meeting, led to emerging
proxy battles in other large
corporations and led to
cosmetic changes in the
mammoth corporation-despite
an overwhelming vote in favor
of GM management.
GM's major corporate
response to the campaign last
year was in public relations.
Two months ago the company
appointed Leon Sullivan, a
popular black Detroit minister,
to the Board of Directors.
(Campaign GM had suggested,
as its three nominees,
consumer advocate Betty
Furness; Renee Dubos,
ecologist; and Rev. Charming
Phillips; a Washington black
Democrat .) GM also recently
formed a five-man public
policy commission, which
deliberates in secret and
reports only to the Board of
Directors.
This year Campaign GM has
three proposals, 'changing its
focus from the social impact of
corporate decisions to who
makes these decisions and how
they are made, hoping that this
liberal plea for "democratic
decision-making" will appear
more open-ended and have
more widespread appeal.
The first proposal would
transform the now closed
selection of directors into a
real election simply by
requiring GM to list on its
proxy, candidates nominated
by shareholder petitions; only
candidates nominated by
management are listed there
now. The second proposal
would give three of GM's most
important constituencies
consumers, dealers and
employee-a voice in GM's
decision-making process by
permitting them to participate
in the selection of three G M
directors. The third proposal
would require GM to publish in
its annual report hard statistics
on its progress in pollution
control, safety and minority
hiring.
General Motors, with
1,350, 000 shareholders and
annual sales of $25 billion, is
the largest corporation in the
world. The company,
according to a Campaign GM
fact sheet, earns $2.4 million
per hour (day and night), is
responsible for one-third of the
nation's air pollution by
tonnage, actively supports
South African fascism with an
investment of $125 million,
and continues to produce
automobiles which cannot
stand crashes at 2.8 miles per
hour without suffering costly
damage. In the U.S. the
company is charged with
discrimination- only 11 of
GM's 13,000 dealerships are
run by blacks, and of the
corporation's 50 top
executives, one is black and
none are women.
Because of its size, GM
seems to be able to take
criticism without becoming
uneasy. Like the federal
government-or perhaps even
more so-there is a tendency
for General Motors to consider
itself safe from any citizen
"attack."
Campaign GM, realizing
this, attempts to concentrate
on the company's weaknessess:
first, that GM stock is held by
a large number of relatively
small investors around the
country; second, that the
company is assured of much
press coverage; third, that
many educational and other
public institutions hold large
stock blocks and may be open
to the Campaign's approach;
and fourth, that ecological and
anti-militarism issues are strong
. in the U.S. today.
Like last year, Campaign
GM will concentrate primarily
on those large stockholders
who are likely to be concerned
with corporate responsibility in
the context of the world at
large. Unlike last year,
Campaign GM has managed to
also obtain an entire list of GM
stockholders, and will be in the
positon to send out direct
mailings-if it can raise the
necessary money. The postage
along on such a mailing would
cost over $80,000.
Over 600 universities have
received letters from the
Campaign, asking for support
on the three issues this year.
Last year, only relatively few
colleges and universities
supported Campaign GM,
although for the first time
there was significant campus
discussion of college corporate
holdings. This year, campaign
committees have already
formed on several
campuses-Stanford, University
of North Carolina, University
of Michigan, MIT, Harvard,
Cornell, University of
Montana, University of
Pennsylvania, Wittenberg and
Columbia, to name a few.
