I ONC E Stimulating Y, FEBRUARY 13, 1962 NIGHT EDITOR: CYNTHIA NEU Why the University Must Be Parental 'RESIDENT HATCHER'S January speech on student affairs clarified the University's sen- le position: Students will be students, but ey are at the University to learn. If the stu- nts run the University, they can't ever learn >re than they already know. So the Univer- y must run the students, in order to impart collective wisdom, which presumably the idents do not yet have. At the same time, however, the process of rning is not just a one-way street. Practical perience on the part of the student, guided his teacher, is recognized as valuable in y teaching situation. This theory of education is not confined to e classroom. It should encompass every part the University, each of which are separate ucational experiences. How can the student socially learned and responsible, if he is not t academically responsible? Can he learn the e ;and not the other? Clearly he cannot. And thus the University charged with its traditional role of prepar- g the student for life, involving a paternal-t Ic attitude both in the classroom and outside 4 CLASS, the student does not rebel against paternalism. The professor is charged with .parting knowledge for students to use in eir chosen careers. Presumably they will need to avoid certain pitfalls and dangers that ' may hold. In supplying students with owledge as a cloak of safety, the professor acting in a paternalistic manner, trying to ide his young charges down the right path' ward life, where they will be on their own. uis is clearly a practice based on paternalism, d the students accept it without complaint, Yet they are in the same relationship with other branch of the University, the Office Student Affairs. The social development of e student is entrusted to this office, and e morals of the University community rest its hands, just as the academic development' .d integrity of the University. rests with the culty. Students and laymen alike would lose respect for the University if its faculty con- ned academic dishonesty, but yet some stu- nts are calling upon the OSA to pursue a licy of social laissez-faire and condone, by finition, moral dishonesty among the stu- nts. UCH A "DOUBLE STANDARD" is inexplic- able and it shows a fault in some students' logic. True, many students are mature enough socially to act with discretion and judgment, were they charged with their own responsibil- ity. But probably just as many are not, and the reputation and atmosphere of the Univer- sity rest with the latter group. One rotten apple will spoil the whole barrel in the eyes of the public-the very people who own the University. In a way, the University is quite like an ethnic group that is saddled with some dis- agreeable trait in the public mind-the bad practices of a few become the albatross for the many. Ideally, in America, we as individuals have complete freedom as long as we don't restrict the freedom of another person. But when one voluntarily joins a group-such as the Univer- sity-he must give up a certain amount of his freedom in order to make the group compatible for all who comprise it. In exchange, the in- dividual derives some personal benefit from the group, as is the case here. But some students' have yet to learn this lesson. Perhaps they will not, for many never do. The very fact of their ignorance is suffi- cient evidence that they are not socially ma- ture enough to assume responsibility for them- selves. They are willing to demand academic security from the University, but they are un- willing to give the University group any secur- ity in its public image. NO ONE REQUIRES students to come to the University. Rather it is their choice and privilege. As a result, they have a responsibil- ity to contribute to the enhancement and progress of the University, so that it can jus- tify its existence to the taxpayers. If the people see the University as an amoral place, they will not be willing to contribute to its support, for these people are essentially concerned that our young people be educated in a moral at- mosphere such as our society dictates. Such proposals as allowing women in the men's residence halls do not serve the interests of that essential morality. But more than that they would provide the temptations that lead to immorality. And the students who advocate them should realize that. The fact that they do not realize it is the best case for paternal- ism. Somehow they must learn. -MICHAEL HARRAH ENTERS ARENA: Romney: Gli*b Reforme'r? . .. x f TODAY AND TOMORROW The Republican Image By WALTER LIPPMANN By PHILIP SUTIN Daily Staff Writer CALLING UPON "Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike" to join him in battling the "many partisan politicians of both parties acting like narrow parti- sans first and Michigan citizens last," George Romney entered the state political arena Saturday. In his announcement he prom- ised to seek a government "in the interest of all of the people-big and little, rich and poor, old and young, of every race and creed. In reaching solutions to the in- dividual problems of some (it) will take into careful considera- tion the effect those solutions may have upon others. And (it) will ask the guidance of all." * *.* ARMED with this mystic vision,. Romney enters embittered Michi- gan arena. In a state where politicans are attached to ideology and power rather than the com- mon good, Romney's statements seem a refreshing change from the bitter wrangling of recent years. Toa state waiting for an at- titude change from its politicians, his statements sound like a breath of fresh air. However, they are not, realistic for they fail to ac- count for the basic cleavages. Within Michigan's borders lie esentially two states: the Detroit metropolitan area and over ?0Q rural counties. Economically they need each other. Socially and po- litically, they have proved in- compatible. THE DETROIT metropolitan area is one of the most indus- trialized in the United States. It contains a major industrial city and numerous dependent 'suburbs. More than most regions, this area suffers from the problems of ur- ban industrialization. Unemploy- ment is high and constant. Slums rot the core of the city. Schools are overcrowded. The quarter of Detroit's population that is Ne- gro suffers most from these con- ditions, resulting in high racial tensions. The rural areas face different sorts of problems. Their economy is dependent on the land, the weather, and what tthe govern- ment will do for their crops. They are less open to the distresses of an industrial economy. Schools are small and less crowded than in the city. Few Negroes live out- side and race tension is rare. IN LANSING the two forces clash. The struggle is even, but wasteful. Stalemate is the usual result. The Legislature, by virtue of districts based more on area than population, is safely in the hands of rural Republicans. The executive, elected on a state-wide basis where all votes count equally, is in the hands of the urban Democrats. So, the Legislature scuttles most administration proposals and (less frequently) the governor vetoes the schemes of the Legislature. In recent years, Romney has been attempting to overcome this stalemate and make Michigan "roll ahead once more." He created Citizens for Michigan in an at- tempt to suggest solutions to the state's basic problems. Along with the League of Women Voters, its first project was the constitutional convention. With much diligence, they suc- ceeded in convincing the people to call one, only to see much of its potential for good strangled in the Lansing snake pit.

However, the legislature set up a partisan one based on the whole legislature. THE RESULTS of this are now apparent. Although not approved by the full convention, the outlines of the new constitution are ap- parent by the committee reports. Earmarking of funds has been maintained; county home rule en- feebled by constitutional offizes; civil rights stagnated. Such are the results of Romney's first effort. He now hopes to take his campaign to the partisan level. His vague promises of something- for-all and dynamism-in-state- government will be thoroughly tested in the campaign. He will have to take stands. He will have to make commitments and com- promises, especially to outstate GOP leaders who are cool to him. Even if he wins, Romney will then have to translate his pro- grams into legislation. Legislators, especially rural ones from "safe" districts, will be reluctant to mend their ways. Moralism will not be enough. ONE MAN with a vague pro- gram will not succeed as governor in changing the extreme partisan- ship of Michigan government. In- stitutional and personnel changes are needed. If Romney is to suc- ceed, he should attempt now as a candidate, and later if elected, to find like-minded men to replace' "narrowly partisan politicans" who dominate the state. With such men, Romney could make some basic changes. The Legislature, especially the Senate, could be reapportioned to elimi- nate smug centers of power. The urban and rural parts of the state could be made to realize that the state depends on both of them. THUS FAR, Romney has nct attempted to do this. He refused to use his influence at Con-Con and in the Legislature. He has pre- sented an apportionment plan which Prof. James A. Pollock of,, the political science department, an expert in government, called inadequate. Romney has yet to offer any- thing more than generalities. He probably won't if he expects oat- state help in his campaign. Un- less he takes a more concrete stand toward state problems, his- tory will write him off as just another pious reformer. ONCE, presented by the Drama- tic Arts Center, opened its second annual festival of musical premieres last Friday with New York avant-garde performers La Monte Young and Terry Jennings. John Cage, a contemporary composer whose works have been accused of not being music, has said Young's work "is extremely distant from music as people or- dinarily think of it," Young is a composer and performer of music, actions, poetry and sounds. Most of the works used impro- visation upon some preconceived framework. Both Baroque organ masters and jazz musicians have improvised. What is new is the framework, and the type of im- provisation. MANY of the works explored random combination of partially preconceived sounds. For instance, in Wind for Terry Jennings by Richard Maxfield, Mr. Jennings played pitches on an alto saxo- phone which are above the highest range of the instrument, while AT THE MICHIGAN: 'Night~ S lumbers CAN AN Aneircan psychiatrist SZurich find happiness as the husband of one of his mental pa- tients, the daughter of a rich lecher? This is the question which F. Scott Fitzgerald toys with in his novel "Tender is the Night." (Cor- respondence between this story and Keats' famous passage is elu- sive.) Ivan Moffat's screenplay outclasses "Our Gal Sunday," but is not really satisfying. For Jennifer Jones and Jason Robards, Jr., the answer takes two and one-half hours. There are times when you almost don't care, especially during the first 60 min- utes or so. Good scenes alternate with really bad ones. The overall impression is that it's an incred- ibly slow-moving affair, (which makes it faithful to the book.) Minutes sneak by while nothing Siportant happens, accompanied by insipid piano music. Two min- ute scenes take five minutes, and the dead air gives embarrassing exposure to some pretty shabby dialogue. 1* * * MISS JONES holds the drama together. Nicole Diver's mental problems are never quite under- standable, but the problem is in the script, not in Miss Jones' act- ing. The portrayal of Nicole's be- havior over a period of years and through various mental states is always competent, sometimes out- standing. Robards is largely a foil for Miss Jones. Tramping in and out of the married life of Dr. and Mrs. Diver is Hollywood -starlet Jill St. John, ("she's what people call a healthy girl") who is shallow enough to focus the attention of the viewer, and the Doctor, back on Nicole. * * * AMONG the other people run- ning around Europe is Tom Ewell, a dissolute writer of unfinished songs. Ewell's role is an attempt to relieve the tension of a plot based on insanity, but his drunken ramblings at the piano only waste one of our best comic talents. The setting of lavish houses and gorgeous technicolor s c e n e r y would make the movie worthwhile in itself if we weren't so accus- tomed to plush film settings and Cinemascope travelogues.. This lush life which so fascinated Fitz- gerald gets pretty Cdull at times. But the mental problem posed is an interesting one. Even though teexplanation fr hat goes o inr Nicole's mind, and the increas- ingly alcoholic mind of her hus- band may not be believable to you, they are worth discussing after the picture is over. Fitzgerald's plot is basically good, but it is not as successful on the screen as some of his other. yarns would be. Nights are made for sleeping, and only Miss Jones keeps this "Night" from serving the same purpose. -Richard Ostiing two tape recorders at the rear o the auditorium played similar pre- recorded sounds simultaneously, By thus limiting the range of sound. this 10 or 15 minute piece seemed long and inadequately varied. The statement above by Johi Cage was borne out in Mundal No. 1 by Toshi Ichiyanagi. Mr Young appeared on stage, tossed a string bean into the audience and exited. The first half of the conceri also included two piano pieces, one by Christian Wolff and one b Terry Jennings, which were simi- lar to other contemporary ex. periments with juxtaposition o isolated pitches, silences and tone clusters. THE SECOND, HALF of the program began with "Words" b Robert Morris, performed by Mr Young. It is reminiscent of the San Francisco poetry-with-jazi concerts of this decae. A tape re- corder replaced the jazz comb with a sporadic scratching soun to accompany the repetition of the word "words." The major work was Terrl Riley's Concert For Two Planisti And Five Tape Recorders." Varon sounds were supplied by the tape recorder speakers around the roon as the two performers randomly applied a variety of objects t the keys, strings and framewor of two pianos. Performed simaltaneously wa Walter DeMaria's Licorice Stick which was the distribution ' licorice to each member of thi audience by a young lady. In thi and other pieces on the program tongue was in cheek. This Wa true of the last presentation 92 'to Henry Flynt' which consIste< of 923 strokes of a mallet on th bottom of what appeared to b a frying pan by Mr. Young. This first concert reflects a Vee tain attitude toward our era. * * * SATURDAY NIGHT'S progra opened with Roger Reynolds Wedge. Reynolds has been con sistently writing virile, coheren and fresh works and this piece wa no exception. It was perhaps th most warmly received on the ro gram. His piece for soprano, alts lute, piano and bassoon entitle Sky also deserves more hearing than "once." Reminiscent of Friday nlght' program were Meanwhile A Two Piece by Gordon Mumma an Elixir 8 by Aylmer Gladdys. Bot were performed by Mr. Mumm and Robert Ashley and used oly skeleton plan which left mud to random performance. Boti were amusing. A film The 'House by R eor Manupelli with electronic musi sound track by Robert Ashley use an imaginative lighting and angl of shooting. The dramatic buildul desired could have been heighten ed" by further cutting, but it wa otherwise rather successful. lAlso on, the program was Greg ory Kosteck's 1961 Sonata to Piano, an early but very fin Sonatina for Flute and Piano b: Pierre Boulez, France's leadin avante-garde composer, and An gels by Carl Ruggles, for mute brass. The program was varied and re warding. THE SUNDAY afternoon pro gram featured pianist Paul Jacob This 32-year-old performer. ha played much contemporary musi and does 'so with authority. To day's music requires a pianist wh has a command of the entire pi ano. Mr. Jacobs demonstrated hi ability to exhibit a wide variety o touches with both fingers a, pedals, and dynamics from ,whis pered harmonics to percussiv fortes. The latter were especiall strong, but modern composer have beenr writing more percus" sively for the piano. This program was especiall hard work for the listener excep for the closing five occasiona pieces by Stravinsky, which pro vided a light "dessert." Roger Reynolds was again rep resented on the program alonj with the widely known Schonberg Stockhausen and Copland. -Donald Matthew CR. GEORGE ROMNEY is a Republican who "recognizes that the Republican image ds improvement." In the Democratic party pion influence is too great," and the Repub- an party, at least in Michigan, has been "ex- sively influenced" by business pressure ups. Mr. Romney's remedy, which presum- y would improve the Republican "image," to respond less to organized minorities and rely on the strength of the unorganized citi- ry. cannot feel that this throws much light on problem of the Republican party. The prob- i is how to become the majority party in- ad of being, as it -has been for over 30 years, minority, party. The fallacy in Mr. Romney's gnosis is that he talks as if all "business" I the same views of policy and of its inter- s, and so too all "'unions," and that a sound publican party should divorce itself from h. This is not only impossible. It is quite desirable. The true political line for a party or either of the two parties-is to associate elf with the enlightened and progressive wing the business world and the enlightened and ogressive wing in the union world. When a rty can do that, it commands the center, d is unbeatable. [NCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION and the advent of Franklin Roosevelt, the Republi- n party organization has been in the control the Republican congressmen who had such fe seats that they survived the Roosevelt adslides. Although there were exceptions, by d large the Republican seniors, who have ac- ired leadership by being re-elected, come >m the countryside, the suburbs, and the .all manufacturing towns. They are not in touch with the urban masses. it also they are not in touch with the bigger dustrialists and bankers in the big cities, with e businessmen who have had a wider ex- rience at home and abroad. For a long time, r most of this century, there has been a large rergence inside the business world and inside e Republican party on questions of provin- lism and parochialism as against national- n and internationalism. The proof that this is the problem is that . irD never in the past 30 years have the Republicans chosen for their presidential candidate a man who belongs to the congressional ruling group. The congressional group, which is dominant in Congress, speaks for the Republicans as a minority party. Their strongest and their wisest and their best leader was Robert Taft. But three times the party convention denied him the nomina- tion and chose a candidate not identified with the congressional Old Guard. WHY? Because the state politicians and the larger urban business interests have known that no Republican could be elected President if he were an isolatiolist and, in face of mod- ern industrial development, a reactionary. The only Republican who was in fact elected was Gen. Eisenhower, and until he was nominated he could not be described accurately as any kind of Republican. When it came to Mr. Nixon, he did his best not toidentify himself with the Old Guard, and made overtures to Gov. Rockefeller. The fact that the Republican party has been nominating men who do not qualify as "real Republicans"-that is, as congressional Old Guard Republicans-plus the fact that all of them but Gen. Eisenhower have lost the elec- tion, has 'created a theory in the Old Guard circle. Its loudest and most attractive exponent is Sen. Barry Goldwater. The theory is that the Republicans will win-apart from a freak election like that of Gen. Eisenhower-only when they stand unreservedly for the ideas of the congressional Old Guard. Sen. Goldwater has persuaded himself that there is a vast submerged Republican majority which will go to the polls and vote only for an Old Guards- man. THIS THEORY is almost certainly not true. But there is no way of proving that it is not true as long as it is not tested at the polls. As long as the dominant group in the party be- lieves that they have been frustrated by the nomination of men like Willkie, Dewey, and even Eisenhower, and now perhaps Romney, the party will be at sixes and sevens within it- self. This inner disorder is the reason why it presents a poor "image." The party in Congress is run by the Old Guard. But masses of voters, who might prefer to be Republicans, do not find a welcome and a home in the party as it is actnal1v managed.
