VISTA Criticism... (Continued from page 1) "Then I was sent to Lansing to work in a Mexican-American ghetto, under the auspices of Michigan Migrant Opportunities, Inc. (MMOI). “Our group was doing so well in Lansing that MMOI decided to hold a conference of the other VISTA’s working in the program, the sponsors, supervisors, people from VISTA Washington and the Director of the Division of Volun teer* Services. •When I met the director at graduation, he said we were able to call upon him for help night or day and he would support us. I found out differently. The night before the conference, all of the VISTA’s met and we drew out a list of grievances—some minor, some important—that had to be worked out before we could get down to work. That night, every body was behind me and the other two VISTA’s who organized this, and we decided that if something wasn’t done, we would leave. No sponsor is willing to lose 21 VISTA’s. “At the conference the next day, the three of us stood up and read the list of grievances but Budget... (Continued from page 1) people in key positions.” he said. “If they’re bad, then student gov ernment won’t work.” The group also discussed in creasing salaries for student leaders, especially the Student Board chairman, ASUO presi dent, and vice president, and the Emerald editor and his staff. They decided to look into each of these areas further, as well as other student publications and the International Education Cen ter, to see what changes need to be made. Student Union director A. L. “Si” Ellingson, the Budget Board’s secretary, said there were several other alternatives besides salary raises, including grants-in aid. Summer Program Ellingson also explained that presently the SU Board chairman, the chairman of the SU Directo rate, the ASUO president, and the Emerald editor are given work in the Student Union dur ing the summer so they can stay on campus and make plans for the coming year. The full Budget Board had agreed earlier to change the sal ary structure because it no long er meets the needs of the stu dents in these positions. The stu dent members of the committee were assigned as a committee to work out a definite philosophy and proposals. At present the Emerald editor and business manager, the Ore gana editor, and business man ager and the ASUO president are paid the top student salary of dor mitory board and room costs plus $50. The SU Board chairman is not paid. The Budget Board decided these salaries were no longer ade quate, as the duties of these jobs had increased since this salary rationale was adopted. Meet Evelyn Try her group therapy at the RANCHO Nightly 1466 W. 7th the group had decided not to stand behind us—and neither did the Director of Volunteers Sup port. He was praising the spon sors—and the sponsors alone from what I could determine, j Printz added. Battles Supervisor “I would have stayed in VISTA if I had gotten support." Printz said, "because I’d have been able to have gotten some things done; but this lack of support is some thing that I think any volunteer should be warned about before he does in.” “Even in Lansing,” he added. “I had to battle my supenisor.” Printz and the other VISTA's working in the area had started a small newspaper in the commu nity. The people in the neighbor hood thought it was a good idea, he said. Before the paper was printed, the supervisor guaranteed finan cial support, according to Printz, but afterward he said that he ‘didn’t recall telling anyone any thing about financial support.” Another thing which bothered Printz concerned the house where he and six other VISTA’s were living. They requested $100 for furniture, an old stove and re frigerator, so that they could turn the top floor of the house could be used as a “stop-over” for all the Cuban refugees who were moving into the Lansing area. "We thought the request was jus tified but the MMOI turned us down and the next day they gave one of the girls who worked in the day-care center we ran $150 to buy a car because of an emer gency,” he said. Printz said that if “you want to hold someone's hand and suffer with him, join VISTA, but if you want to get something done, don’t join.

WaitiVig for Godot Slated for UT Run Characterized by its director as a “play for children and philos ophers,” "Waiting for Godot" will be presented on the University Theatre stage Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and March 3, 4, and 5. “Waiting for Godot,” which has become a classic landmark usher ing in the contemporary period of avant-garde theatre, portrays con temporary man's sense of aban donment in a material universe devoid of any divine presence The audience is shown two tramps of uncertain origin on an almost bare stage. Their frus trated search for a mysterious p a t r o n - protector is confused rather than clarified by the bi zarre appearances of another pair, united in a master-slave relation ship, according to Roland Ball, associate professor of English at the University. Fantastic absurdities occur in situation, action and dialogue, yet the allegorical play incorporates much of the serious core of tra ditional realistic drama.
