Alinskv's Kev Power, Action, Disorder By NOMI BORENSTEIN Assistant Managing Editor The key to Saul Alinsky’s ap proach is power, community ac tion, and “creative disorder.” “He is excessively localistic. “He scorns theory and is con tent with just a bread-and-butter approach. “Some of the poverty programs he has directed haven’t brought about a massive social change, they turned out to be beautifica tion programs. “He has guts. While you and I sit here discussing the prob lem, he's out challenging the es tablishment.” That’s the picture of Saul Alin sky, well-known poverty expert, painted by James Klonoski, asso ciate professor of political sci ence and Clyde DeBerry, head of the Eugene chapter of the Con gress on Racial Equality, on PL-3 Wednesday night. Alinsky, one of the four pov erty experts who will participate in the ASUO’s poverty confer ence, was described by a Kansas City newspaper as a "battler for the poor whose ideas have set thousands marching and resulted in . . . screams of rage, moans, and groans.

The young actress is visiting the University to discuss with students their views on the arts, their sense of needs and ways in which the government can help.

However, it hasn’t always been so easy for the young actress. At the end of her freshman year at LSU she boarded a bus for New York, presented herself at a ready-to-wear house and was hired as a fashion model. VV'hen she had saved enough money. Miss Ashley allowed herself to think about the career she had unconsciously chosen for herself as a child, and enrolled as a drama student at the Neighbor hood Playhouse. Various Jobs Unable to model during the day, and still needing some way to finance her studies, she ob tained numerous part-time jobs, such as waiting on tables in a coffee house, appearing in tele j vision commercials, and check ing hats at night clubs in New York. In 1961, she got her first real break, landing the leading role in a major television show, “Hea I ven Can Wait,” the Dupont Show of the Month. Her career has progressed rap idly since that time.

"There will be no major re volt. He does not work from a broad enough base. "To him power is not a petty politician making a grab-bag out of the poverty program. His defi nition of the power means that certain groups are able to exert influence against the established power structure. "But it has many drawbacks. Martin Luther King, using Alin sky's "conflict model" can come into south Chicago and do more than Alinsky himself because King doesn't work with isolated blocks of people. He’ll bring the weight of numbers down upon the establishment.” DeBerry added that Alinsky "al ways manages to shake the com munity up.” He creates disorder within the power structure it self.
