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

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.

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.
Curtain time is 8 p.m. Tickets
are $1.50 each.
