Alumni Apartment Plan
Could Harm University
E ALUMNI ASSOCIATION is planning an
partment building in Ann Arbor for re-
. alumni who wish to live in an intellectual
nunity. While this project seems innocuous
gh, even praiseworthy, it would actually
great harm to the University. Bringing
her alumni in such close proximity would
e an organized pressure group opposed to
ge that would exert undue influence over
inistrative policy.
e alumni living in' the building will be
'ently conservative. First, they will all
ver 55. Second, they will all be well-to-do.
s second condition is guaranteed by the.
of the units, which most informed guesses
at around $20,000 apiece, and the fact
this sum will have to be completely payed
ivance.)
perience with alumni in this age and

ntal attachments to their alma mater-has
rally been that they are opposed to change.

students to constitute the same University

group of potential dotiors to the University
i together will be all too potent a pres-
group. They will expect the administration
mp at their call. And the administrators'
Many administrators envision a public
every time they receive five letters on-
aspect of University affairs. Imagine what
d happen if they received 40 or,50 phone
in two days from wealthy alumni.
VNKLY, alumni should have no say in
niversity policy. By no strength of the
imagination are they "in the University." This
phrase, often used by the Alumni Association,
is meaningless. Alumni have influence in the
University only because the University hopes to
get money out of them.
Since the University is always' somewhat
hard-pressed for money, certain prerogatives
have been granted to individuals who give
money. For example, they can, and usually do,
specify how their money is to be used. But
when this influence extends into matters of
student life and educational policy, it is usually
ill-advised and unwarranted. One of the major
reasons the administration might refuse to
remove recognition from a fraternity or sorority
for having a bias clause is alumni pressure.
WITH A CENTRAI alumni pressure group,
students would find another source of
opposition to change. Students would be even
more regulated by' codes often two or three
generations old. Institutions like the Union and
the fraternity system are in a state of flux
trying to adapt to new conditions; the alumni
would inhibit this adaptation process.
Faculty academic freedom could be affected.
There would be additional pressure on the
University to rid itself of controversial faculty
members. Even if specific incidents never oc-
cured, many of the faculty might feel addi-
tional outside pressures hemming them in.
FINALLY, the administration; which is al-
ready weak in its ability to withstand
ipressure of any sort, would be more likely to
make decisions on the basis of "well, the
alumni wouldn't like it."
Only the Alumni Association would benefit.
And these benefits would be at the expense
of the University.

A SELL-OUT AUDIENCE which braved icy weather greeted Emil Gilels
with enthusiasm last night. The pianist from the Soviet Union has
received wide acknowledgement and praise as a significant virtuoso. His
dynamic and masterful performance fulfilled the general anticipation.
* * *
IT WAS A RELIEF to hear three unfamiliar works, although they
represent well-known composers. There seems, however, to be good
reason for the lack of performances of Mozart's Sonata in B-flat major
(K. 281).
Gilels compensated for the unusually square phrasing of the first
movement by a sensitive approach. The transparency and delicacy of
the sonata makes it a particularly difficult one for a warm-up piece.
The fuller sonority of Schubert's Sonata No. 2 in D major (Op. 53)
seemed to please Gilels. Although the second movement was unusually
long. Gilels sustained interest. His amazing rhythmic control through
the Scherzo delighted the audience. Throughout the long sonata, he
never lost a sense of direction which climaxed appropriately in the last
movement.
IN PROKOFIEFF'S Sonata No. 8 in B-fiat major (Op. 84), Gilels
combined the control and musical sensitivity of the first half of the
program with the Russian composer's demand for technical display.
He gave a broad interpretation of the initial melody in the first move-
ment with dynamics and rhythm always under control.
It was not, until the second movement of Prokofieff's sonata that
Gilels achieved the fullness of sound for which he is so justly famous.
His choice, of tempo helped to emphasize the harmonic changes. His
remarkable steadiness throughout the last movement made the syncopa-
tion exciting.
As in his performance of the Schubert sonata, Gilel's sense of climax
in Prokofieff's work created a constant direction and sense of momentum
to the end of the last movement.
Gilel's tight control and balance of tone was also shown in the two
encores which the enthustiastic audience demanded. The pianist re-
sponded to the applause with a transcription of a prelude by J. S. Bach
and then with one of Rachmaninoff's preludes.

IQC'S SECOND YEAR:
Quad Government's Two Headaches
TODAY AND TOMORROW
On Namin Names
By WALTER LIPPMANN
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
first in a two-part series dealing
with Inter-Quadrangle Council. To-
day's article examines IQC's accom-
plishments over the past year.)
By GERALD STORCH
BARELY ONE MONTH after
Tom Moch was installed as
InterQuadrangle Council's second
President last February, the coun-
cil and residence halls adminis-
trators were rocked by the now-
famous Scheub report, a rather
provacative document which
charged living conditions in the
quads and communication between
students and administrators were
in bad shape.
After this difficult beginning,
the council came back to accomp-
lish a great deal. Two large con-
ferences, one held soon after the
Scheub report was released and
one last fall, centered the atten-
tion of the student-faculty-admin-
istrator participants on some cri-
tical aspects of quadrangle life.
Topics included the role of staff
and student government in resi-
dence halls, the applicability of
the Michigan House plan, services
and facilities and the relationships
between quads and fraternities.
THE COUNCIL last fall formu-
lated a plan for liberalizing wo-
men's visiting hours in the quads.
It called for a system allowing
men to have women guests in their
rooms (with the door closed) dur-
ing hours to be decided by the
house. It quickly gained support
from a substantial number of
residents.

iittee, which is investigating the censorship

McNamara's refusal to name names and to pin-

issue would be to destroy the discipline and
confuse the loyalties of government employees
-of the military personnel, of the foreign
service, of the civil service-of all the large
mass of the bureaucracy who do not make policy
but are there to carry it out.
If it became the accepted precedent that an
Army officer assigned to the job of censorship
could be called to account by a Congressional
committee for carrying out the orders of a
superior officer, the Army officer would have
two masters and would not know who was his
boss. This was the quintessence of the evil of
McCarthyism, and we know from that appalling
experience how it destroys the spirit and morale
and efficiency of civil servants. When this con-
dition prevails, men work with one eye on their
official boss and the other eye on the inquisitors
from Congress. Temptation is great to feed out
information, rumors, and innuendo behind the
official boss's back, either to curry the favor of
the inquisitor or to placate his wrath. Subordi-
nates cannot count on being protected against
public degradation and the boss cannot count
on his staff to serve him loyally. This would be
a vicious condition of affairs, and should not be
tolerated in a self-respecting government.

PERHAPS as a second semester
freshman I am too naive to
comprehend the omniscient will
of the University, but if my ex-'
periences of the first semester,
culminating in Friday's registra-
tion, are guideposts of the typical,.
I fail to see how the University
can consider itself on the road
toward providing a truly liberal
education for its student body.
It was my understanding that
students came to Ann Arbor with
interests and talents they wished
to develop in addition to a desire
to be stimulated in as many
spheres as possible. A convenient,
schedule is a luxury easily fore-
gone when desired sections are
closed, But how in the least good
faith can the University arbi-
trarily close an entire course to
students whose last names begin
with W, X, Y, or Z?
What are these people to do if
the course is a prerequisite to a
major (there are far' too many
prerequisites) or prerequisite to
a graduate school? Are they to
mold their ambitions and abilities
around this unjust and random
registration? Someone has for-
gotten why the school was erected
and catalogues for the selection
of courses printed.
All schools I am sure have their
shortcomings, large ones probably
more than small ones. However, if
the University does not pick its
head up every now and then to
see the road and correct its course,
its efforts and energy cannot be
reconciled with the lofty and in-
spiring words of the "Educational
Objectives" printed in the An-
nouncements of its schools.

To the Editor:
I HAVE READ with great inter-
est the series on the Office of
Student Affairs, which has been
appearing over the last few weeks.
Most articles have been a straight,
factual presentation of material
which is quite timely, due to the
study presently being conducted of
the Office.
However, I was quite puzzled by
a curious statement in the article,
"Judiciaries Without Justice," by
Michael Olinick which appeared
in the January 18 issue. The sen-
tence read, "In considering cases
involving the starting fullback of
the football team or the President
of the Michigan Union, the Judi-
cial bodies will treat these people
as differently than less renowned
(sic) campus figures."
To me this implies that the
President of the Union ha's been
caught in a violation of Univer-
sity regulations and received pref-
erential treatment. Though I can-
not speak for the starting full-
back, I do know it to be a fact
Last spring IQC members dis-
cussed another important problem:'
confidential non-academic evalua-
tions of residents by the staff
men and housemother. The Coun-
cil .moved to endorse the concept
of "pink slips," but asked that
their nature (although not the
actual evaluations) be made clear
to quadrangle men.
*The council has also taken ac-
tion on releasing WCBN from IQC
control, and setting new policy on
associate memberships and con-
ventions using the quads.
* *~ *
IN SHORT, during the Moch
regime IQC took on a seriousness
of purpose that had been lacking
in previous councils. But although
much was discussed, little was
done. This is due to a well-known
external problem facing IQC, and
a more internal conflict.
When the Board of Governors
of Residence Halls stomped all
over IQC's women-in-the-quads
plan, it pretty well proved that the
council can do only what the ad-:
ministration will allow 'it to do.
And the Scheub report, which
spurred the council to its amount
of activity, was itself kept secret
for six months by an administra-
tor, until an angry resident ad-
Visor finally decided to make the
report public.
It was this sort of over-control
that caused: Moch to say the
council was viewed by the ad-
ministration as merely "an ad-
visory body," with no power over
matters even of a non-financial
nature.
OVER-CONTRQL of a slightly
different sort leads t othe big-
gest internal problem of IQC: the
split between East Quad and .he.
other two quadrangles, West and
South.
For in East Quad, the resident
director often operates. with an
attitude that approaches tyranny.
This situation snuffs out student
activity. It discourages any hopes
for house spirit and, in turn dis-
courages interested and qualified
men from, partaking in quad ac-
tivities and IQC.
This low interest in East, com-
pared to participation by men
from South and West, leads to
fears by East that it will be con-
trolled by the other two, although
theoretically any one could be
dominated by a coalition of the
other quads.
THERE ARE other factors 'n
the division between West. and
South with East. East Quad is
many blocks from the other two,
and this in itself tends to create
a gulf between it and the closely-
connected West and South Quads.
Second, East Quad has a repu-
tation as an engineers' quad, pos-
sibly implying that men there
carry heavier academic loads and
hence have less time for activities,
but certainly with the connota-
tion that East Quad people would
possess different attitudes and ex-
pectations about residence hall
life and the University in general
than their counterparts on Madi-

Associate Editorial irector
LTHOUGH FEW free enter-
prise ifans iAmerica know
about it, a socialist government
has been thriving on this con-
tinent for 17 and one-half years,
and is currently plotting to spread
its influence.
No, not in Mexico, but in the
Canadian province of Saskatche-
wan, where the Canadian Com-
monwealth Federation (CCF) has.
been in power since an agrarian
protest went big-time during
Wbrld War 'II
THE CCF MOVEMENT is not
the wildest political species in
Canada. That honor belongs to'
the Social Credit party, which has
managed to hold on to majority
status in Alberta and British Co-
lumbia.
Social Credit is a very evan-
gelical movement which sprang up
during the Depression. Called the
"funny money" party, it wants
to eliminate the national debt and
sends people money in the mail
for being citizens-something like
buying stock in the government,
except everybody has to buy.
The leftist third parties in Can-
ada have suffered the fate of their
American counterparts. Their bet-
ter ideas, are swiped by the two
major parties, leaving them with-
out enough platform planks to
stand on.
BUT THE CCF is on the move.
It now has members in the na-
tional parliament representing all
kinds of areas, from rural Nova
Scotia to urban British Columbia.
Last summer the party laid plans
for its first big assault on the
whole country's electorate.
The. choice of T. C. (Tommy)
Douglas as leader of the re-named
New Democratic Party (NDP)
shows these radicals mean busi-
ness. He has headed the Saskat-,
chewan CCF since 1940, and has
-shown lots of savvy in keeping
his party in power and himself
in the premier's 'chair. Douglas, a
former linotype operator and min-,
ister, replaced schoolteacher M.
J. Coldwell.
* * *
THE PARTY has replaced its
socialist party statement with a
watered-down welfare program to
have more general voter appeal.
When the CCF officially opened
up for business in depression-
clouded 1933, it made the sum-
mary of its plans so radical that
it "has haunted the CCF in Par-
liament, in provincial legislatures
and on election platforms" until
recently,, according to Saturday
Night magazine. The pay-off was:
"No CCF government will rest
content until it has eradicated
capitalism and put into operation
the full program of socialised
planning which' will lead to the
establishment in Canada of the
Co-operative Commonwealth."
* * *
IN 1956, the party changed this
to:
.the CCF will not rest epn-
tent until every person in -this
land and in all other lands is
able to enjoy equality and free-
dom, "a sense of human dignity
and an opportunity to live a rich
and meaningful life as a citizen
of a free and peaceful. world."
Which Barry Goldwater r nd
Earl Browder would agree with.
"CANADA DEFINITELY has
three-party politics now,," says
Michael de Pencier of 'Toronto, a
teaching fellow in philosophy. "If
the NDP can win the labor vote, it
may squeeze the Liberals out of
the picture in time, as has hap-
pened in Britain."
The renaissance gave the so-
cialists a chance to look over the
country's political situation and
how they fitted in. Actually, the
NDP is not much different from
the old party, which has never
really pushed pure socialism.
* * *
THE SIGNIFICANT events at
the party convention, according to
one observer, were the choice of
Douglas, and the ascendency of
labor power which formerly had
been among the weaker elements
in a party brew including Fabian
-socialists, farmers and miscel-
laneous radicals.
The NDP program actually is
not socialist, but envisions a Sa-
skatchewan-like mixed economy
for the whole country in which
private enterprise, government en-
terprise and some co-operative
ventures co-exist.
