Lane goes after 'white America' Urban reformers and their methods were the targets under attack as Dr. Ralph Lane, Jr., chairman of the USF sociology department, addressed a Hilton Hotel conference last week. Engineers, planners, and architects attended the meeting, which was sponsored by the San Francisco chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Addressing the group as the literal shapers of urban environment, Dr. Lane said that the fundamental problems of cities are not being solved by urban redevelopment and Utopian suburban towns. While middle - class whites flee to suburban areas, the central city stagnates. Those who are left in the cities are the "residue" of society: the aged, the socially deviant, and the racial and ethnic minorities. Dr. Lane was especially concerned with the explosive problem of minorities. "They are tired of the empty promises of the majority community," he said. "They want us to accent the facts as they are, not as an excuse for perpetuating the status quo, but precisely because they are sick of the kind of Alice in Wonderland double - talk to which they have been subjected for so long." Dr. Lane also attacked the lack of honesty with which society approaches urban problems. "They (minority groups) want us to deliver, not more pacifying handouts which keep them in the recipient status of our well-intentioned largesse, but programs which will provide the experience of political know-how," he said. A later interview amplified Dr. Lane's point. He stressed that society moves its minority "residue" from place to place, putting them in temporary housing, and claiming all the while that "this wasn't what we had in mind for you at all." Throughout, Lane's talk was punctuated with jabs at sociologists, private interests, and the liberal white middle-class in general.

One hundred and two voting delegates, representing every Jesuit college, high school, and community within the province, in addition to novices, juniors, observers, and Jesuits from other provinces, expressed their opinions on matters ranging from the relation of subject to superior to the possible division of Jesuit communities into smaller groups. In addition to president Charles Dullea, S.J., and other observers, USF sent six elected delegates to the meeting. The delegates were: Richard Vaughan, S.J., dean of arts and sciences; Edmond Smyth, S.J., associate professor of history; Francis Buckley, S.J., assistant professor of theology; James Corbett, S.J., university treasurer; Norton Herold, S.J., financial aid advisor; and Albert Casey, S.J., professor of theology.

"We are emphasizing foot- bal homecoming because basketball homecoming will interfere with finals," said Cary. The week will begin with a reception for prospective queen candidates Sunday afternoon. Alumni members will pick five finalists from those assembled. Students will then vote for the homecoming queen beginning Tuesday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at a table for this purpose on the third floor of the University Centre.

Father Connolly asked the participants to observe three requests at the meeting: to engage in honest, "open listening," to enter into frank open discussion, and to follow the advice of St. Ignatius and put the best possible interpretation on what someone said. Although the purpose of the meeting was entirely advisory, "the experience of democracy was very pleasing," said Father Buckley.
