HENRY COMMAGER ...views civil liberties Commager Condemns U.S. Statism By RUTH EVENHUIS Prof. Henry Steele Commager of Amherst College discussed the political and governmental cli-' mate of opinion affecting freedom of speech in his keynote address for the Challenge Colloquium Weekend last night. Thick dossiers, detailed pass- ports, intensive fingerprinting, committee investigations and the punishment of non-cooperative citizens are taken for granted by the citizens of a government prac- ticing the doctrine of statism, he said. Under this doctrine, the state may do things not authorized by the Constitution, and in some in- stances, directly prohibited with- out judicial or popular protest. The prohibitions contained in the Bill of Rights evaporate in the new concept of the state as an entity superior to the people who allow .it its sovereignty, he said. Big Government Despite the present administra- tion's hostility to strong govern- ment in the realm of economy or, for example, public health, Prof. Commager said that no other ad- ministration has contributed so much to big government in the more important realm of ideas. He pointed out the greater dan- ger of governmental mistakes in this area than in legislation af- fecting material, and therefore more easily remedied, concerns. Although a poor government reg- ulation on slum clearance is eas- ily alterable, the suppression of an idea might never be recog- nized as harmful. Prof. Commager sees a return to the world of priority thinking in the turn from scientific evi- dence to assumptions and pre- sumptions. Americans make, for example, the assumption that a man can be judged by his asso- ciations, rather than limiting our examination to his conduct, he said. Undefined Words Such words as un-American, security risk, subversive, decent, and ineitive have no definitions, he said. These are intangibles, w'.ich our laws are not construct- ed to cover. When citizens attempt to legislate in areas dependent upon these words the semantics are paralleling those of Lewis Car- rol's Humpty Dumpty whose words meant just what he want- ed them to mean. WSU. Hacher's remarks came in the wake of a threat by state Sen. Elmer R,. Porter (R-Blissfield) to cut any increased appropriations for the Detroit university. Warns WSU Porter, who heads the senate's appropriations committee, orgin- ally warned WSU that the school "would be hard put to find any further tax dollars for its sup- port as long as the Board of Governors permits Communist speakers to appear on campus." His message was conveyed to the board through Ann Byerlein, head of a petitioning group which is asking the re-instatement of the speaking ban. Faculty Comment Faculty comment on the affair differed from Hatcher's. Prof. Wesley H. Mauer, chairman of the journalism department s a i d, "Wayne State University is tobe commended by the general citi- zenry as well as by the profession of teaching for its wise policy to keep its doors open to all opinions and points of view however an- noying, unpopular, or dangerous such expressions may seem to be." Prof. Maurer, who is also chair- man of the University Senate's Advisory Committee, stressed that his statement was made "on his own behalf." "Such a policy," he continued, is In agreement with our con- stitutional guarantees, and our educational institutions are ob- ligated, as are all our other in- stitutions, it seems to me, to sup- port in practice the liberties these guarantees imply in any public test of universly functions and purposes. Ban Dangerous "To. ban any expounder of an unpopular view is dangerous be- cause in the shifting of political powers and opinions, a policy adopted by any group in power to ban extreme positions is likely to serve as the ground for other groups who may come to power later to ban speakers who are currently responsible. "Our laws are adequate to pro- tect us against acts and even in- fluences overt in nature that affect the security of our commonwealth if the danger is clear and im- pilnent. "It is important that we as free peoples recognize at all times that nothing is so insidiously subver- sive as public policies curtailing fre expressions under the pre- tense that they are intended to maintain our security. Vested Strength "Our strength and our security are not vested in restricting our freedoms but in continually ex- tending them to all our people. "And although the risks are ever present in free societies, the risks of closed societies, are so much greater as to preclude public policies that curtail free speech. "Not only is WSU to be com- mended for its sturdiness in re- sisting the advice to curtail speech; its officers should be as- sured that they have the ready and full support of all citizens in their effort to maintain the se- curity of democratic institutions and American principles." Three To Talk On Civl Rig hts At Colloquium, Challenge has scheduled three speakers for today in conjunction with its colloquium weekend on the "Challenge of American Civil Liberties." Michigan Supreme Court Justice Talhnt Smith will snaknr nn"r With Michigan playing the Buckeyes, oh, bring back that memory to me; Right there in a wild swirl- ing ice storm, with tem- peratures hovering low, A miracle happened, we saw it, the roses that bloomed in the snow." This, in the eyes of one Michigan fan, J. Fred Lawton, is what happened Nov. 25, 1950 --Just 10 years ago this week- when the miraculous Wolver- ines edged Ohio State, 9-3 to win the conference champion- ship and a Rose Bowl bid. Even now, those who remem- ber the game are inclined to be sentimental about Michi- gan's last Big Ten title and still dream of the thrill of the"glory days" of Wolverine grid su- premacy. Lucky Combination But even the most avid among us must admit that it took a combination of skill, luck and what is often referred to as intestinal fortitude for Michigan to beat the Buckeyes that day. A foot of snow, two blocked kicks, Northwestern's 14-7 upset of Illinois and the fine punting turned the Wolverines' worst season in 13 years into a fourth consecutive Conference title. A string of injuries to key backs Ortmann, Leo Koceski, and Don Dufek (now Wolverine freshman coach),- seemingly had shattered Wolverine hopes for a Big Ten Championship. Going into the final week-end of the season, they were 4-3-1 on the season, 3-1-1 in Con- ference play. Ohio State lead the standings with a 5-1 re- cord, and Illinois was second with 4-1. Snow Helps But miracles can happen, and one did that afternoon. A foot of snow helped the Wolverines contain OSU's All-American, Vic Janowicz, and whip the Bucks. And Northwestern's Dick Flowers led his team to two second-half touchdowns for a 14-7 victory over the Illini, pre- viously ranked sixth in the nation. Actually, that the game was played at all could be classified as a mircle. It snowed all the previous night and morning and grounds crew had worked feverishly to ready the field as much as possible for the game. Despite their efforts, snow seen. It snowed throughout the ame to such an extent that radio announcers were forced to say 'it. lcoks like the ball is on the 40 i, but we really can't say for sure." Ball Stops And when the ball was punt- ed as it often was that after- noon, it didn't bounce, it didn't roll, it just plopped dead in a, snow drift. The biggest miracle of all was that 50,000 brave and hearty spectators should have come to sit in the Bucks' wind- whipped horseshoe shaped sta- dium. Aside from the circumstances surrounding the game itself, its statistics must certainly rank as the oddest in Conference his- tory. The Wolverines gained only 27 yards total and made no first downs, yet turned two blocked punts into a safety and a touchdown to overcome an early field goal by Janowicz Before the game, the Con- ference record for number of punts in one game was 14. Ort- mann punted 14 times in the first half alone, 24 times in the game. Janowicz punted 21 times for Ohio State, and their com- For the Wolverines three players stood out in the victory --Ortmann, Tony Momsen, and captain Al Wahl. Although Janowicz out-aver- aged Ortmann in punting, 32- 30. the Michigan tailback came through with several key punts, to keep the Wolverines out of trouble. Once he punted the ball from his own one-foot line to the mid-field stripe to relieve the pressure. Momsen blocked a punt and fell on the ball in the end zone for the game-winning touch- down, while Wahl blocked the punt that led to the OSU safety. Actually, however, it was what everybody likes to call a "team victory." The courageous Michigan line held Janowicz and OSU to only three first downs, and a total of 41 yards, and made several key defensive plays when Ohio State was pressing for an equalizing touchdown, Tomorrow, the Wolverines will "try for another team vic- tory. It won't be as much a miracle if they win; no roses will bloom; it probably won't even snow. But a victory would give Michigan a 6-3 record for its best season since 1956. S XX. >:Z4 'I I S S}: Wolverines ran up a 7-2 rec- ord and finished second in the Big Ten standings. Biggest Task Michigan's biggest task will. be to stop Ohio State's "four yards and a cloud of dust offense." This fall, Buckeye Coach Woody Hayes has tried a little more passing than in past, years, but the offense is basically the same one Ohio State has used successfully for so many seasons. Leading this offense will be fullback Bob Ferguson and quar- terback Tom Matte, who have carried the ball on at least 75 per cent of Ohio State's plays this fall. Several times this season full- back Ferguson has been the ball. carrier for more than ten plays in a row. The success of this offense is due mainly to Ohio State's fine forward wall. Averaging 216 pounds from end to end, the Buck- eye forward wall is not as big s it has been in previous years, lbut a look at the statistics shows that it has been successful.

The harbinger of victory came on a motion by Ghana in the 99- nation Assembly to adjourn with- out considering a recommenda- tion of the Assembly's credentials committee to seat a delegation headed by Kasavubu. Ghana sought to delay until an Asian-African conciliation com- mission tried for an on-the-spot reconciliation between the forces Latin Brief of Kasavubu and the man he de- posed as premier, Patrice Lum- umba.- Bloc Splits But the Asian-African bloc split on the motion and it was de- feated by a vote of 51 against, 36 in favor of and 11 abstentions. This was a rar wider victory margin than expected by the Unit- ed States and other Western sup- porters of Kasavubu. Western sources were confident he would win by as much or more when the Assembly votes on the cre- dentials committee's recommen- dation. Suits Gives Mathematical Model of U.S. Economy "The nation is now in a modest recession," economics professor Daniel B. Suits said yesterday, "-the outlook for 1961 certainly is not healthy, but no calamity is in view." Speaking at the eighth annual Conference on the Economic Out- look here, Suits predicted an unemployment increase despite a slight upturn in economic activity., Math Model Using a mathematical model of the economy which hasn't missed a send since its first use in 1953, Suits said the gross national product (GNP), a measure of total goods' and services production, will rise FEEL MEANINGLI about two per cent in 1961, total- Ten newly admitted African members of the French commu- nity voted against adjournment, as did four other members of the Asian-African bloc-Japan, the Philippines, Thailand and Tur- key. Abstainers included Cambo- dia, Iran, Jordan, Laos, Lebanon, Liberia, Pakistan, Somalia, and Upper Volta. Solid Soviet The Soviet bloc voted solidly for postponement along with Ghana, Guinea, India and other nations who are backing a Lum- umba delegation. Some United Nations sources said Mali and Guinea had threat- ened to quit the commission if Kasavubu were "seated, and that Ghana and India would resign if that occurred. The commission decided Thurs- day night it would begin its work in Leopoldville at the end of next week. But Kasavubu has declared the commission should not go with- out his consent-and this could not be given until he obtains his Assembly seat. UN sources predicted that de- bate over the credentials' com- mittee recommendation would not be finished until sometime next week. U.S. Claim Cuba Army 'Excessive' WASHINGTON (A')-The Unit- ed States charged last night that Cuba has received at least 28,000 tons of arms from the Soviet bloc, including tanks, automatic weap- ons, field guns and eight jet fight- er planes. A State Department statement called Cuba's army the largest in all Latin America. The department accused the Communist powers of contribut- ing to tension in the Caribbean "by burdening the Cuban econo- my with excessive arms purchases and by supporting the aggressive policies" of Prime Minister Fidel Castro. "At least 12 Soviet ships have delivered arms and ammunition to Cuba since July of this year," the statement said, "the most recent being one which unloaded approximately 6,000 tons of arms . . . on Nov. 7, 1960." The United States statement reported Castro has built up an armed military force "larger than any army in Latin America" and ten times bigger than the force of ex-Cuban President Fulgenpio Batista. For the Buckeyes lead the Big Ten in both total yards gained and in total yards rushing. Be- hind this hard-charging forward wall, Fergusoh and Matte have risen to the top of the Conference in individual statistical races. Ferguson is the Big Ten's lead- ing ground gainer with 480 yards in 98 carries for a 4.9-yard aver- age and Matte is second witl4 430 yards in 85 carries for a 5,1-yard average. Matte is also ranked as the Con- ference's top passer, having com- pleted 30 of 58 passes for 441 yards. He is also second in total offense with 871 yards. Formidable Task Last weekend Iowa slowed the Buckeye attack with a "new" de- fense and went on to rout 'the Ohioans, 35-12. Whether Michi- gan can duplicate Iowa's success- ful defensive maneuvers and whether Buckeye Coach Hayes will alter his offense to counter the "new" offensive tactics pro- vide topics for speculation, See 'M', Page 6 t Kennedy PALM BEACH M) - President elect John F.

AADAC views past picketing a successful but feels it must gh way to "more immediate activ ties." "Local picketing has alert ed the community to lunch-cour ter segregation and the sit-i movement," Jack Ladinsky, Gra coordinator of the AADAC steer ing committee, explained in a announcement of the suspension He listed an AADAC telephon ing campaign in support of Un versity By-law 2.14, against di, crimination in housing; distribu tion of leaflets in support of Ru Nine, a state ruling forbiddir realtors to handle sales or ren tals of a discriminatory nature and a "workshop in nonviolence scheduled here Nov. 25 and 26 i more pressing activities.

During 1960, the GNP dipped from a peak of $505 billion to $503 bil- lion. In spite of the slightly higher level of economic activity, Suits forecasts an unemployment in- crease of 500,000 to a total of 4.3 million-six per cent of the total labor force. "No special allowances have been made in thisforecast for political changes, such as a de- liberate stimulus to housing con- struction or an extra shot of de- fense spending," he said, Four Assumptions Suits' prediction is based on four assumptions: 1) no change in con- sumer credit terms, 2) a $4.5 billion increase in national and local government spending, 3) a projected $2 billion increase in govrenment defense orders during 1961, and 4) continued easing of the monev marked and a related Tiilich Views Change in Modern Student By MICHAEL OLINICK "A tremendous change has come over the student in the last 15 years," Prof. Paul Tillich said yes- terday after his campus lecture on "Symbolism: Its Significance in Religion." "The students feel their own predicament very painfully be- cause they think themselves mean- ingless in the world. This mean- inglessness is forced by a world civilization that is not interested in the vertical, but the horizontal," the philosopher-theologian noted. "We are all for ranging all over the place with projects and in- ventions which remain at a shal- low level. We never go up to the ultimate questions of life. We don't ask 'For what?' are we doing fessor said. "When I came to the Union Theological Seminary in 1937, the main interest was social ethics. Then it switched to syste- matic theology, then to religion and psychotherapy, and on and on." Prof. Tillich said he sensed a more interested reaction among his student listeners when he dis- cussed the existential idea of life than when he dealt with abstract doctrine. "Existentialism, in the large sense of the word, is the philosophy of the life of our times. It is decisive everywhere and has always been present in all ideas and philosophies. In this century it has broken into literature, music, and the visual arts." Chooses Course little later when I meditated in the old Gothic church of which my father was rector," the 74- year-old professor said, smiling at the memory. Prof. Tillich now occupies a unique position on the Harvard faculty. He is a "university pro- fessor" who is not bound to lec- ture on material in any one de- partment. "Right now," he said, "I am on the theology, philosophy, and general education faculties. The last is the undergraduate hu- manities program." Flees Germany Prof. Tillich. who holds 13 hon- orary degrees, was compelled to leave Germany in the mid-Thirties because he was an outspoken critic of Nazism. He has returned to his native land several times since
