New Action Group Asks Involvement By SALLY SHARRARD Bine raid Stall Writer Community action; community development; block organization; political consciousness, indigent organizing, black power, conflict model, coalition model, welfare revolt, New Left, New Politics— these are a few of the terms one becomes familiar with from the newspapers and periodicals. They are indicative of one thing — something is happening. But what? In short, a major thing happen ing is that a whole generation is sick of the same old approaches to the same old problems—and some new problems. This impa tience has been manifested in sev eral ways: The Civil Rights move ment, the Peace movement, the Anti-Viet Nam movement, the Peace Corps, the. Poverty pro gram. and the resurgence of in terest in the many volunteer pro grams. Projects Related One thing the people involved in these projects and movements have learned is that they aren’t unrelated to each other; neither are the major issues and the THE NEW FOLK are coming ELECT KEITH RENNE FRESHMAN VICE-PRESIDENT YOUR VOTE AND INFLUENCE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED problems facing the country at home and abroad unrelated to each other. The conclusion has led to the hypothesis that any or ganization working with indigent people can not succeed on a sin gle issue campaign. When a whole community is in a state of economic and cultural debilitation, a program aimed at only adult education is going to have little effect on the basic problems involved. This has caused the organizations working with indigent people to focus as a whole; giving rise to the relatively new term — community development. It is for Uus purpose of in volving students and faculty members in a series of dialogues on the meanings and strategies of community development that the Community Action Group has been chartered under the OP CIT program of the ASUO. 1 The group is open to all in terested students involved in or contemplating involvement in such programs as VISTA, Peace Corps, Los Amigos, American Friends Service Committee, SDS, Migrant Labor Project, or civil rignts work.
