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

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. There are many pro
jects that the CAG will work on
to give the individuals first hand
experience in community organi
zation techniques.
Meetings Set
Meetings will be held every
Wednesday night at 8 p.m. in;
the Student Union. Interested j
people can also contact Buzz Wil-!
lits, faculty advisor, or Pat Mo-!
rales, student co-ordinator, at the j
VISTA office in Omega Hall.
This week the CAG will attend'
the COAP meeting on Thursday:
night. COAP is the Community
Organization Action Program that |
works with ADC families to make '
better use of existing services and j
plan for self-help programs that
will increase family income. All
