Most of the candidates reflect the nation- vide reaction to student government going eyond the campus. The most obvious example s the Kerr directives to the student govern- nent at Berkeley. On the University campus, oo, this reaction is evident. The candidates proclaim that SGC should ot go off-campus to talk about issues, that 3GC should content itself with University prob- ems because here the SGC represents some ort of consensus of opinion. Here is the first ontradiction. ;GC REPRESENTS a concensus of opinion on the campus in University affairs as well a off-campus affairs. The council as it is pre- ently established does not represent specific roups but attempts to have members who re- resent a wide range of opinions. Since no pecific campus district or group is represented, he opinions on the council are just as irrele- ant to campus affairs as to non-campus ffairs. This leads to a second contradiction. Many of the candidates show a distrust of he students on SGC handling on-campus ssues, especially membership restrictions in ffiliate organizations, curriculum changes, a egent's by-law against speakers who attack nother, God, country or the University. A onsensus of opinion in these areas if fine, the andidates say, but SGC should not be able to egislate in these areas. They should not be ble to investigate fraternity and sorority onstitutions, to attend Regents' meetings, or o recommend changes to the steering and irriculum committees on behalf of the entire tudent body. The second contradiction raises question: what good is student government fit is powerless to act? ACCORDING to this view, the students have the right to express their opinions but lave little right and are not trusted to expedite r initiate or act on their opinions. If this is true, then SGC need not exist. The University could survive quite ably without a student government body. This would probably cause the administration some hardship, since SGC does save the University the bother of calen- daring groups ,and catering to the students. It appears, however, that the administration believes that SGC can go beyond these "time- saving bonds." On the other hand I, personally, wonder what the administration must think about the efforts of student government, having seen many many student leaders come and go over the past decade or two or three. It is up to the students to take advantage, of toleration on the part of the University and stretch it to its fullest extent. It is false to assume in a time when many 18 year olds are clamoring for a vote in national affairs that they should not be able or responsible enough to handle the affairs of their con- temporaries on campus or comment in the name of their contemporaries in national is- sues which concern the student, such as sit-ins and the National Defense Education Act. IF THE representative opinion of the students cannot be expressed in these areas, it is futile to think that in three more years this generation of students will entrust their futures to an organization (the United States House of Representatives) in which they are repre- sented by one man who also serves approxi- mately 400 thousand people. SGC has 11 representatives for 25 thousand. The reactionary views of several of the SGC candidates are attempts to do away with all the "liberal" progress made in the past few years. It would be far better for the candidates to adhere to ideals which would allow SGC to continue to legislate in student affairs, since this is the purpose of SGC on the campus, and to comment in off-campus affairs, since the students are concerned in national affairs. In foreign countries it is the students who are the most politically aware and who act accordingly. in the United States the students, who appear to care, do nothing to expound their views. -HARRY PERLSTADT -r - 0000 .No To The Editor: H E group that our letter of . October 21st started has grown large and is enthusiastic. With the formation of a group, there are always questions about the original spirit of the movement. We would like to take these few moments to express our commit- ment in its most vital and im- portant form. We are both completely com- mitted to serving abroad. Like- wise, we are completely commit- ted to serving here. But we are committed to an ideal that is' greater than both of these-man's relationship to man. We ' believe that the major fault at the present time, is that' man forgets what. he is, he for-' gets who his fellow men are, he forgets that we are all equal in rights, he forgets that we are all people with wills, with desires, with pride and with a will to' create. He fails to see that others have a way of life which must be respected. He fails to see that his development is depeindent upon the development of others-indi- vidually and nationally. * * * THE SPIRIT OF THIS move- ment cannot be found in the ship- ment of machines and experts, abroad. It is to be found in aid. through relationship, through per- sonal participation in the prob- lems and the needs of the people of the world. We feel that this kind of help will lead to greater understanding, to greater respect for others. 'It will enable us to grow as well as enable other countries to grow. It is the spirit of man which dominates this world and not the spirit of eco- nomics; it is the spirit of man's relationship to man and not the spirit of man's relationship to ma- chines which enables man to real- ize his potentialities. The movement, we both believe, is founded in this spirit. It is founded on each and every per- son's responsibility to every other person. We must not forget our responsibility' at home; we must not forget our- responsibility abroad. Those who go abroad are striving for peace through person- al participation those who stay in the United States must strive so that we can offer the world's people new inspiration for their own freedom-no 'matter what form it may take. We feel that the spirit of this generation will not be silent; it will replace silence-not with talk -but with action. -Judith and Alan Guskin. Patonism To The Editor: IT would appear that our dis- tinguished emeritus professor, W. A. Paton, has a greater capa- city for analyzing the balance sheets of commerce than those of world affairs. Paton: We shouldn't try to run other people's lives: We may not be smart enough; even if we are, the other fellow prefers to make his own decisions; anyone who thinks otherwise is fuzzy minded and overcorfident. Comment: To- tally irrelevant, since the meth- od of world responsibility in ac- tion is to cooperate with those making their own decisions to- wards the goal of the reasonable fulfillment of indigenous objec- tives. PATON: The Communists are prepared (without justification) to care for the world's welfare. Comment: Totally false. On any substantial grounds, the Commu- nists have not shown themselves willing to take on the job. Token aid and propaganda-encouraging assistance in somewhat greater amounts have been granted (us- ually loaned) to carefully select- ed countries for the hoped-for political consequences involved. But the Communists are far to shrewd to build economic and so- cial strength where weakness and half-fulfilled national goals will better suit Communist purposes. Paton: Africans, Latin Ameri- cans and others do not like to be referred to as "backward and "underdeveloped." Further, these people may have some good ideas and ways of life, oven if they don't have the products of our industrial society. Comment: I agree, except that the material culture of industrial society is be- ginning to change traditional ways of life in the developing areas almost as much as it did to ours, and for much the same reasons of high purpose for human better- ment. -Richard L. Park Rule Nine and, Freedom of Choice MAX LERNER A Peace Army ALONG WITH ALL the plans for dealing with the farm problem, the older people, health security, the employment problem, the gold rush, I see that one of the Presidential can- didates has finally come through with a plan for sending American students abroad. It was about time. And it is a mark of the imaginative boldness of Kennedy and his brain trust that while Nixon was talking of the sound dollar, Kennedy was talking of a youth peace corps. As it happens, in a number of speeches across the country ever since I came back from India I have talked about a "peace army" of American college graduates. Doubtless others have been doing it too. It is in the air. I got my own notion from William James' classic essay "The Moral Equivalent of War." James grappled there with the age-old problem of the destructive streak in all of us, young as well as old. He proposed, as a way of re- channeling this warlike current of energy into a constructive direction, a youth peace army which would tussle with danger in nature and would build community projects under diffi- cult conditions. Franklin Roosevelt adopted one aspect of this idea in his CCC camps. OF EVERYTHING I SAW among the Asian university students, and especially after the anti-American student riots in Japan, it struck me that the American people had hot found an effective way of reaching the young in- tellectuals in foreign countries with a true picture of what American civilization is like. There are honorable and exciting exceptions, but most Americans traveling abroad are either old or rich or tired or power-obsessed or smug and provincial. Besides, they nibble at the country they travel in, and taste a bit of its surface, but they don't dig in deep. In its struggle with the Communist world on the battleground of ideals, the democratic world has no idea-fighters to parallel the Com- munist Parties in every country, no under- ground, no disciplined leaders trained in guerrilla tactics, no idea-system to export as a propaganda weapon-by its nature a demo- cracy cannot have these. I asked myself what the American demo- cracy does have, and the answer was clear. It has young people who at their best are the living documentation of what America is like at its best. Why not send them abroad as a peace army, to study and live, to learn and help at whatever they can set their hands to? t5 u a What makes this the more important is the fact that the new Communist strategy, especially in the newly liberated nation-states, is to use the student and intellectual class as, their leverage for gaining power. They no longer stress the industrial and peasant masses as their revolutionary carriers, but have re- placed them by students and professors. It is exactly these whom the democratic world must reach, through students and professors of its own who will identify themselves with their brothers abroad. WHERE I DIFFER from Sen. Kennedy's pro- posal, in my own thinking, is on two scores. First, I think it is dangerous to put the plan in terms of an alternative to military service. You are dealing here with inflammable stuff-the hope for life and the fear of death, the resentment that the less privileged bear toward the more privileged. The boys and girls in the peace corps will be among the brightest and most talented in the nation, but also among the best educated. Don't set them aside as a privileged caste to replace the draft by something which, however, arduous, will look soft to the envious. My second objection is linked with the first. Why do this under government auspices, whether under the International Cooperation Agency or any other government bureau? If you do it thus you run inevitably into an excited Communist propadanda campaign, charging that America is sending soldiers abroad who are disguised as student technicians but are In reality spies and propagandists. Within this frame the students might do more harm than good to the Democratic cause. In the end the U. S. government may have to foot the bill by subsidies, but the shaping guidance of the plan at its inception should not come from any government agency. Let it come from the big private foundations, like the Ford Foundation, which have already done so much good work in cultural and technical exchanges. Let the foundations plan and run the plan, let the students and graduates who enroll be volunteers who get nothing from it except trdvel and toil and the chance to learn and be useful-and the feeling that they are part of their era and the shapers of their world. H AVING EXPRESSED these minor dissents, let me add that the large framework of Kennedy's plan is sound. It is cheering to know that Kennedy is not content merely with pointing out the ineffectiveness of the By JEAN SPENCER Editorial Director WITH SO MUCH slanted, mis- leading and inaccurate pub- licity in circulation concerning the Michigan Corporation and Commission's Rule 9, it's high. time the issue be clarified. The rule applies only to real estate brokers, forbidding them to discriminate because of race, color, religion, national origin or an- cestry in their licensed dealings with the public. It was to be effec- tive Aug. 14 as an amendment to the commission's Real Estate Rules and Regulations, but three Lan- sing brokers, acting on behalf of the Michigan Real Estate As- sociation, obtained a temporary circuit court injunction on Sept. 7 restraining the commission from putting Rule 9 into effect. * * * NO DATE HAS been set for further hearings, and parties sup- porting and opposing the rule have flooded the - public with various forms of advertisement for their respective positions for some weeks now. Real estate brokers are pan- icking, anticipating a drop in busi- ness if the rule is enforced. Civil rights advocates, whose vocal re- action to the hearings on the Grosse Pointe point system pres- sured for a more explicit and comprehensive ruling, have re- doubled their efforts to secure the enforcement of Rule 9. The controversial ruling was added under this preamble: Any broker or salesman who fails or neglects to abide by the following rules and regu- lations adopted by the Michi- gan Corporation and Securi- ties Commision shall be pre- sumed to be guilty of unfair dealing. * * * RULE 9 READS as follows: A broker or salesman, acting individually or jointly with others, shall not refuse to sell or offer for sale, or to buy or offer to buy, or to appraise, or to list, or to negotiate the purchase, sale, exchange or mortgage of real estate, or to negotiate for the construction of buildings thereon, or t9 lease or offer for lease, or to\ rent or offer for rent, any real estate or the improvements thereon, or any other service performed as broker or sales- man, because of the race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry of any person or persons. A broker or salesman, act- ing individually or jointly with others, shall not refuse to sell or offer to buy, or to lease or offer for lease, or to negotiate the purchase, sale or exchange of a business, business oppor- tunity, or the good will of an existing business, or any other service performed as broker or salesman, because of the race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry of any per- son or persons. The hearings which preceded Corporation and Securties Com- missioner Lawrence Gubow's form- ulation of Rule 9 concerned the Grosse Pointe scandal, in which a court case brought to light a screening process whereby pro- spective residents were rated on such characteristics as "typically American" descent wv of livin ADVERTISEMENTS IN local local papers paid for by the Ann Arbor Board of Realtors seem to deliberately misstate the 'Ruling's implications, clouding the issue hopelessly. One headed, "Here's What Rule 9 REALLY Means to You," de- clares, "In an attempt to dictate bias out of existence, the Michi- gan Corporation and Securities Commissioner, Lawrence Gubow ... has taken away some of your God-given, and what ought to be' inalienable legal, rights." The first threatened right listed is the right "to dispose of your private property as you see fit." Rule 9, it continues, forbids you the assistance of a licensed real estate broker if you choose to limit the sale, rental or release of your property according to race, reli- gion or national origin. How this interferes with the right of pri- vate property remains unclear. Home owners are not restricted in what they may do with their pro- perty by Rule 9, but in how they do it. If they choose to discri- minate, it is true, they must do it in person, not through state- licensed brokers. But the only ser- vice of a licensed broker denied under Rule 9 is that of implement- ing the property owner's discri- mination on bases of race, color, creed etc. Does denial of this "service" constitute interference with property rights? The second right mentioned is "to be governed by laws enacted by a legislature whose members you have helped to elect." But since the precise way in which Rule 9 "governs" the individual property owner, is never pinned down, this statement is at best irrelevant, ANOTHER ADVERTISEMENT grafts the editorial policy- and press creed of a Grand Rapids Negro newsaper onto excerpts from a radio editorial asking for better Negro housing in Grand Rapids, and concludes that "what Rule 9 really does is take away everyone's Freedom of Choice." This tactic aroused distaste from readers, who pointed out in a letter to the editor that the net effect of the ruling would be to provide the property owner with a wider range of prospective clients by leaving them feel to deal with whomever they chose. His broker would be obliged to report all bona fide offers to the seller, whose right to consider or refuse any offer is unquestioned. Nor would the property owner be forbidden the services of a broker if he saw fit to discrimi- nate. He would not be able to instruct the broker to repect of- fers on the basis of race, religion, color and so forth-this decision would rest with hii. How does this' limit freedom of choice? ONE MUST CONCLUDE that the ruling was drawn up in good faith, and will penalize only the few real estate brokers who ex- ploit bias in the name" of the state. In the bias question, Rule 9 makes no attempt tolegislate morality, but leaves the burden of choice more with the individual citizen than ever, The state should not explicitly or implicitly condone discrimina- tion, as the -Constitution is cur- rently interpreted. It should not. license real estate brokers to - among other services-take care of the ,customer's discrimination for him. The realtors who have paid so much for advertisments that mis- represent the actual issue show bad faith. They are attempting to show a clean side of their dirty linen to the public and urge them to assent that the garment doesn't need to be washed at all, and that nobody has the right to make them wash it.
