RDAY, APRIL 11, 1959 NIGHT EDITOR: PETER DAWSON Early Publication of Exam Schedule Would Benefit Serious Students ,/ '/i / IF STUDENT GOVERNMENT Council's rec- ommendation is passed, the first semester examination schedule will be listed on the last page of the semester's time schedule. Such a development should prove of argu- able value to the intellectual climate of the University. Theoretically, it will give the de- voted student the opportunity to choose well- spaced final exams so that he will be able to study diligently and give a maximum perform- ance in his courses. Since the purpose of the final examination is supposedly to enable the student to synthe- size the material of the course into some sort of a coherent whole, well-spaced tests would allow him to do a much more efficient job of studying and compiling a summary of the material. IT IS EVIDENT that anyone with four exams on the first four days of exams won't be able to do much of a job in any of them. Thus, if used as intended, the pre-announced exam- ination schedule will provide a needed oppor- tunity for the serious student. Admittedly, though, the plan will also serve the student who just doesn't really give a darn about making the most out of his educational opportunities. For those with the supreme goal in life of leaving the University as soon as is humanly possible, the early schedule will allegedly aid them in their unacademic behavior. Some pes- simistic observors even predict that certain courses will become known as May 29th or June 8 courses and popularized accordingly. Followed to its extreme conclusion, this spec- plation would see herds of eager-to-get-out- early students flocking to those courses with early exams, abandoning all rational consider- ation of academic merits. On this basis the enrollment in certain courses could be pre- dicted by an analysis of the departing plane schedule. THE PROBLEM seems to center around stu- dent responsibility. While early publication of the traditional schedule may result in throwing the academic careers of hundreds of irresponsible undergraduates to the wolves, witholding the schedule could result in an ac- cusation of over-protection of the supposedly mature University student. The best solution to the dilemma is definite- ly to proceed with the publication under the assumption that University students have enough sense to choose their courses on their academic worth rather than on the basis of their early finals. THEN, TOO, the schedule would have great practical value to students who have to llan ahead for summer employment and would allow truly serious students to plan their sec- tions to enable them to have sufficient study time. Undeniably, there are bound to be those students who will take advantage of the serv- ice, but if they can manage to scrape through the University with the least amount of effort possible, they are the ones who lose. Withold- ing the preliminary schedule surely won't do much to divert them from !heir erring path and would be of great assistance to those stu- dents seriously interested in an education. -JEAN HARTWIG EXAMINATION SCHEDULE COLLEGE OF LITERATURE, SCIENCE AND THE ARTS HORACE H.

REGULAR SCHEDULE A LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: India Maintains 'Dynamic Neutrality' And the Ranks Falter FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, who admitted he was the "greatest livingg architect," died Thursday and with his passing America lost one of its greatest thinking non-conformists. His unquestioned brilliance in the field will undoubtedly make him a figure that will con- tinually influence modern architecture. But his persistent desire to stand up for schemes often regarded by conservatives as crackpot or outlandish may -prove to be his most important gift to American 'society. In his long career, Wright expended a great deal of effort rebelling against facets of Amer- ican life that he disliked. "The United States' lust for ugliness and the murderous custom of retirement at 60" were two of the complaints that he loudly lodged. His continual questioning of people's atti- tudes and willingness to stir up controversy show an admirable effort to avoid submerging -himself in the mediocre same thinking groups. Wright stood among the leaders of a vanish- ing breed of men who spoke their mind. Far reaching innovations which will have a permanent effect on the American archi- tectural scene are the tangible results of his originality. But even more important, his ef- forts make him an example of an individual successfully retaining his personal identity while so many rushed to lose theirs. -CHARLES KOZOLL To the Editor: IGNORANCE muffled in silence is harmless; but ignorance blat- antly voiced is folly and at times even dangerous. The latter is the case with the editorial, "Nehru's New Outlook," by some Charles Kozoll in the April 8, 1959 issue of The Daily. Faced with Red China's aggres- sion, writes the above writer, across her borders in Tibet, India will realistically abandon her policy of neutrality. Such an aban- donment is seen in its nascent stages, it is claimed, in granting political asylum to Dalai Lama, access to India of Tibetan refu- gees and the political tirade against the Indian Communist party by Nehru. This letter is just to point out that it is only the wrong under- standing or ignlorance of India's foreign policy that sees any such change or abandonment in recent developments. India's foreign pol- icy is and had always been one -of dynamic neutrality as differenti- ated from passive neutrality. Pass- ive neutrality is tantamont to isolationism, whereas dynamic neutrality is equivalent to impar- tial or unaligned arbitration. The subtleties of a concept are sometimes hard, and at times even impossible, to understand unless compared with a more physical picture. India's dynamicneutrality can best be compared to the role of the referee in a boxing ring. The referee is not aligned with or inr the camp of either of the box- ers, as the respective fans are (this is alignment). .On the other hand he is not passively sitting there and watching the game as a spectator not on the side of either of the boxers (this is passive neu- trality): But the referee plays the role of impartial and unaligned arbitration between the boxers (this is dynamic neutrality). True to her role of dynamic neu- trality, India did always condemn and act if and when any aggres- sion was committed by the Com- munists or the West, always pre- serving her non-alignment policy. Thus here recent actions con- cerning Tibet are not indicative of any change in or abandonment of her policy of dynamic neutrality. -Thomas S. David Laina . To the Editor: T IS A misleading impression created by Joan Kaatz in her article, "Buddhist Living God," about the Tibetan Dalai Lama's influence on the Buddhist world. She states that the Dalai Lama's power in the Buddhist world is greater than the Pope's power in the Catholic -world. She uses the words "Buddhist World" in de- scribing the Dalai Lama's power. The fact is that the "Buddhist World" consists of 150.3 million people and only 12 million Tibetan Buddhists, less than 10 per cent of the total Buddhists, consider the Dalai Lama as a Living God. Thus it is our intention to point out that it will not be justified to use the,'words "Buddhist World" in conveying the idea of the Dalai Lama's power. This is like saying the Pope is considered infallible by the whole Christian World when only fifty per cent of the Christians are Catholic. -Kyaw Myint, Grad. -Kyaw Thein, Grad. Integration .. To the Editor: WOULD like to. comment upon the editorial of Mr. Langer ap- pearing in Thursday's edition of The Daily. Consider the two states, Virginia and Arkansas. It appears to me that the methods of the two states to resist integration are entirely dissimilar in one vital regard. Virginia has attempted every "legal, honorable, and peace- ful means" 'combat integration. Governor Almond, wit4 all means thwarted, conceded that Virginia, would have to, in effect, live with integration. This is not willingness to accept integration, but it is not iob rule. How might we have order and acceptance in the face of mob rulecThe state of integra- tion was not helped by the actions of Arkansas, but the actions of Virginia will, in the long run, be for the good. Mr. Langer notes that Virginia is summoning every "legal, honor- able, and peaceful means," yet he takes issue with their resistance. Would it not be better to give Virginia help toward integration, rather than a kick to keep them moving? -Marvin Resnikoff Time of Class * (at 8 (at 9 (at 10 (at 11 MONDAY (at 12 (at 1 (at 2 (at 3 (at 8 (at 9 (at 10 (at 11 TUESDAY (at 12 (at 1 (at 2 (at 3 * Classes beginning on the preceding hour.

In London, Dr. L. G. Norman, chief medical officer for the Lohdon subway system, recent- ly revealed his prescription for staying healthy: Keep your mouth shut. HE TOLD the Royal Health Society, "During rush hours people stand with their noses and throats as close together as 12 to 18 inches. Yet Londoners are not unduly susceptible to infectious diseases. "The British people traditionally do not converse in trains," he continued. "There may be advantages in this national custom, as the closed mouth minimizes the spread of infec- tion." Therefore, on a large campus where anoth- er rush hour begins every 60 minutes of the day, the same principle may be applicable. To minimize spring fevers, University professors, personnel and students should avoid all types of face-to-face communication. The simplest solution would involve cancel- ing all classes, building walls down the middle of rooms to separate roommate's germs from roommate's and no dating. ALSO, a University professor recently con- firmed the fact that spring fever really ex- ists. It is the result of the body's increasing its amount of blood because of warmer outside air, he explained. However, the professor added that although the cause is known, there is no cure. Sadists know better. To further insure the health of University faculty, personnel and students isolated by the previous suggestion, bring in a colony of leeches. -NORMA SUE WOLFE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Aero 134 Chem.

It could succeed where a Western attempt to stem Communism in the Arab East failed. The Baghdad Pact, formed in 1955, linked an Arab country - Iraq - to Britain, Turkey and Pakistan in a northern wall against Com- munism. But Arab nationalists rejected it. They associated the West with imperialism and colonialism, suspected its motives. Only the Iraqi monarchy, dominated by the late Premier Nuri Said, went along with the alliance, giving the pact its name. Arab union remains largely a myth. But ,a common threat could, at least, bring the rulers of the Arab nations together in a common front to stage off further Soviet penetration. rTrHE LACK of Arab unity was clear at the place in the Middle East now and what hap- pened in Europe a decade ago. As one Eastern European country after another fell into the Communist net, Western European nations ral- lied to the concept of NATO. And even then, the defense alliance lacked teeth until the shock of the Korean war. Arabs now seem to be approaching a similar crisis. The leaders of Jordan, Lebanon, the Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Tunisia and Mor- occo fear Communism and are ready to admit that a Communist takeovei' in Iraq would threaten their positign. PRESIDENT NASSER of the United Arab Republic obviously also fears the effect a Red penetration might have upon his Egyptian and Syrian regions. Yet the other countries have seemed to balk at Nasser's all-out anti- Communist crusade. One trouble with this crusade is the ap- pearance Nasser gives of being primarily in- terested in getting rid of a rival, Premier Abdel By RALPH LANGER Daily Staff Writer IT'S A NICE ELECTION when nobody loses. Apparently no- body lost in this week's state elec- tion, for both sides have claimed victory. The state GOP rejoiced in grab- bing three state education offices and interpreted their wins as a blow to Gov. G. Mennen Williams, as a protest against the "admin- istration-caused financial woes," and as a victory for improved party organization work outstate. The Democrats, on the other hand (represented by Neil Staeb- ler, Democratic state chairman), see the election as an endorse- ment of the Governor's adminis- tration. Apparently it's all in how you look at it. Realistically it is difficult to see much in the way of a protest vote. In the 12 state education contests the Republicans captured only three. Nine winners for the Demo- crats hardly seems like much of a protest, although it should be pointed out of course that Detroit- area school problems brout' ht a large turnout of voters in this traditionally Democratic area. .In addition the state Supreme Court retained its Democratic majority. This was, however, the first time in two elections that Demo- crats haven't gobbled un all of state legislature to its November 55-55 deadlock. Illness forced the absence of one legislator in the opening session enabling the Re- publicans to grab control, and the Democrats have shown little evi- dence of attempting to wrest it away from them thus far. The Democrats won 2-1 control of the State Board of Education by nabbing a formerly Republi- can-held seat thus gaining con- trol of the board for 'the first time in board history. All in all the Democrats ended up with five-to-three control of the University's Regents, termin- ating a four-four split, increased their hold on the Michigan State University board, 5-1, instead of the previous 4-2, and garnered most of the seats on the brand* new Wayne State University Board of Governors, in addition to the State Board of Education. If the Republican gains do in- dicate the beginning of the en4 of the trend that saw Democratic power begin in 1948, gain in 1954 and appear absolute last year, then :perhaps Republican state chairman Lawrence Lindemer's view that "It looks good for 1960" is justified. At any rate it is nice to have re- turned to a "two-party system" and especially one where "nobody loses."
