About two years ago, a small clique of J.R.R. Tolkein fans sud- denly expanded into a national following. Publishers being pub- lishers, the response to the vast new interest in "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" was in- evitable - new books by Prof. Tolkein. The first of these was "The Tol- kein Reader," a collection of brief works published in paperback by Ballantine last year. This month, the Houghton Mif- flin Co. released two new books Faye Hits D For ReplaCi By GREG ZIEREN, Prof. Gerald Faye of Oakland Community College strongly cri- tized leaders of the Michigan Democratic Party for their part in "throwing out" Chairman Zolton Ferency who recently announced #ss resignation from that post. Faye was one of the leaders of the Johnson-Humphrey cam- paign in Michigan in 1964 and was himself a candidate in the pri- mary for the Second Congres- sional District seat that year. Faye, speaking to a group of University Young Democrats at the UGLI last night, said that with Ferency gone control of the Michigan Democratic Party would revert to the "traditional leaders of ;the Wlliams-Staebler mold" This refered to former Michigan governor G. Mennen Williams and former party chairman Neil Staeb- :er. "These party leaders would say, 'Let's have unity,' which :anti-Vietnam Ballot Loses In Cambridge CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (P) - A resolution urging "the prompt re- turn of America nsoldiers from Vietnam" has been defeated by Cambridge voters, 17,742 to 11,349. Both critics and backers of the Johnson administration's policy on Vietnam said they were en- couraged by the vote. in Washington, Democratic Na- tional Committee Chairman John M. Bailey described the vote as "an encouraging endorsement of President Johnson's policies." Harvard University economist and former U.S. Ambassador to India John Kenneth Galbraith said, "the administration will make a grave mistake if they assume that this is anything but a vote of no confidence." MSU Protests Marines, War EAST LANSING (/P)-Amid signs proclaiming "The Marine Corps Kills Men" and "War Is Hell," some 800 Michigan State Univer- 'ity,4tudents gathered Wednesday at a rally protesting the war in Vietnam and the appearance on campus of U.S. Navy and Marine .ecruiters. Many of the students, however, came to watch or put forward points of view opposed to those of Students fob a Democratic So- ciety (SDS), which called the rally. "This university has the right and obligation to insist (the re- cruiters) do not come back to our campus," Dr. Bertram Garskoff, assistant professor of psychology, told the group. for Tolkein fans. The first and more important of these is "The1 Road Goes Ever On, A Song Cycle," a set of Tolkein poems set; to music by Donald Swann. Swann is best known to the world as thei piano-playing half of Flanders and Swann, creators of "At thec Drop of a Hat" and other musical delights. At first glance, "The Road Goes Ever On," appears to be a rather1 flippant .effort. It is a very at-I tractive book, over-sized andc printed on heavy, cream-coloredI paper and decorated by Tolkeinj in elf-rune caligraphy. Clearly a book to grace coffee-tables dur- ing and after the Christmas book- giving season. ' And the coffee-table is wherec it is likely to stay. Bookiacket blurbs notwithstanding, people who wish to give a book for fam-1 em Leaders ig Ferency means let's not talk about the issues," he asserted.c Turning to national issues Faye called former Defense Secretary Robert McNamara "one of the three most informed persons inr the country about the war in Viet- nam." McNamara, who just re-r cently announced his resignation and subsequent nomination to the head of the World Bank "mustr have been fed-up after seven years1 of one of the hardest Jobs in the country," Faye said.1 He speculated, however, that1 Johnson nominated him for that post "at the cost of being silentt for six months or so." Faye saidl that McNamara, despite his per-c sonal views on the war, had beenc ''caught between. Secretary ofc State Dean Rusk and the Joint< Chiefs of Staff." Du Pont for Congress c He revealed that several leaders1 of the Democratic Party in Ann Arbor were "seriously considering" Jerry Dupont as a Congressional candidate. Dupont, a recent grad- uate of the University Law School, was narrowly defeated last spring in his bid for Ann Arbor council member from the Second Ward. Faye said that candidates op- posed to the war in Vietnam were needed "at all levels." Such can- didates, he explained, will deter- mine what is to be discussed at the county Democratic organizations and then at, the state level. "Eugene McCarthy (D-Minn) is not an idle man playing a fool's game," Faye said referring to a possible McCarthy challenge to the renomination of President Johnson. Faye added that he was "certain" that McCarthy would announce his candidacy this week- end at the national convention of the Conference for Concerned Democrats in Chicago. Lost in Primary "Truman did not say that he would not be a candidate in 1952 until he lost the New Hampshire primary to Estes Kefauver." Faye said. He added, "Johnson would rather go down in history as the man who got the greatest number of votes, not the man with the greatest number of votes who lost re-election." Faye cited the possible Mc- Carthy, campaign as a "threat to the presidential ambitions of Robert Kennedy (D-NY)." He said that regardless of what hap- pens in 1968 McCarthy will come out a national figure and a pos- sible presidential nominee in 1972. Earlier the executive board of the University Young Dems passed a resolution which urged Mc- Carthy to declare himself a can- didate and run against Johnson in the primaries. tv i UL' SS ily sing-alongs at the piano would be better advised to give "The+ Rodgers and Hammerstein Song Book," for Swann has made a serious effort and 'has created a complex cycle which must be con- sidered a contribution to the art1 of the song. Tolkein's books are filled with song and, as Swann says in hisj introduction, the word-music of the poems themselves and thei music of Middle Earth already! existed. Yet Swann does a com-I mendable job in matching hisj music to the mood and cadence of the poems. Six of the songs are taken fromj "The Lord of the Rings." Thej seventh, which complements andj completes the cycle, is from "Thei Adventures of Tom Bombadil." The scoring is for baritone with1 piano accompaniment. Four of thet songs are also marked with guitar chordings (for what Swann calls "the folk version") and one, "Namarie" (Galadriel's farewell)s has a figured guitar accompani-] ment. The harmonies of the re- maining three, Swann says, are too complex for the guitar. Swann gives considerable free- dom to the performer. Tempos are marked simply "freely" or "steadily" in place of the more; familiar and precise Italian desig- nations. "Namarie," in fact, is so free that Swann has left it almost] completely unmeasured, making] the phrasing anyone's guess. While too complex for a com- munity songfest, "The Road Goes Ever On" should have a future in the serious art-song repertoire. Most of the melodies are simple, linked by a common theme first stated in D major and modulated through several major and minor: keys. The harmonies of the ac- companiment, however, are intri- cate and interwoven-rather what one woulddexpect of Elf-influenced songs of Middle Earth.- The eleven-song "A Elbereth Gilthoniel," which recurs several times in "The Lord in the Rings," is stated by Swann as a stark Gregorian chant. Swann's setting of the songs, incidentally, was composed with the cooperation and approval of Tolkein himself. The cycle has one additional advantage for those wishing to perform it. Swann, has released all rights-the only requirement is that performances be register- ed with ASCAP. There are no royalties. "The Road Goes Ever On" hAs already been recorded by Caedmon, with William Elvin, baritone, and Swann at the piano. "Smith of Wooton Major" is the lesser of the new books. It is a brief and charming story bound in hardcover. Despite the pub- lisher's claim that it "is worthy to be read by people of all ages," Houghton Mifflin seems to feel the book is destined for the chil- drens' market. They are wrong. Readers who are familiar with Tolkein's essay "On Fairy Stories" in "Tree and Leaf" will immedi- ately recognize "Smith of Wooton Major" as Tolkein's prototype for such stories-much more so than "Leaf by Niggle," which was or- iginally intended to illustrate the enemy. Briefly, "Smith" is a story about a young boy who receives a silver star from Faerie at a party. He swallows the star unnoticed and years later it is disgorged and he learns he can travel in the Magic Land. This he does until his time comes and the magic star passes to another - (Beautiful stories should never be summarized; the magic dies with synopsis). About all that can be said of such a story is "Read it." While Tolkein says nothing profound in "Smith," he takes his reader on a magic voyage. "Smith" is illustrated with me- dieval-looking drawings by long- time Tolkein illustrator Pauline Baynes. The drawings are attrac- tive and younger readers will no doubt enjoy them. Probably adult readers would rather form pic- tures in their mind's eye.

"It usually takes longer to drive to the fifth floor of the Thayer Street Structure behind some nut than it does to park in commuter lots and take a bus in," one grad- uate claims. Parking in a campus structure costs either $12 or $14 per month, depending on how near ground level you want to park, and cost may influence a decision to build more lots. Major parking facilities are usually financed by bonds which must be backed by a guar- antee that they will bring in an in- come 12 times the total interest cost, Brown says. This would force a yearly rental fee to pay off the construction costs. A similar condition at UCLA last year forced the price of annual student permits to $60 without noticibly cutting down the parking problem. But students will most likely be forced off campus altogether be- cause a long range campus plan calls for the creation of malls in many streets which provide many meter spaces. "Faculty members will always need to park on campus, though, because if they can't find a place to park, they keep all their stu- dents waiting," an official claims. "But the individual student can afford to be a few minutes late."

Through personification of evil by minute character representation, Von Stroheim re- mained faithful to every intention of Frank Norris, upon whose book, "McTeague," the film is based. The horror of money and its power to corrupt are seen as the "essence of sordidness," ("What we've got here is a failure to communicate.") 1:30 4:00 6:40 9:20 *1 ULN wmam ac i'nn uo iun imu starring- "mighty strong meat *i
