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. -DAVID MARCUS. codq&'s 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. -ALICE BUNZL ELECTION PREVIEW: Canada'sNewParty .DilutedSoc ilsm 4b .-- -.mss-sr 'P , r r r 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. THE HEARINGS before the Stennis Com- iittee, which is investigating the censorship speeches of military men, Secretary Mc- iara is defending a fundamental principle ood government. The issue has been posed Sen. Thurmond, who is demanding that he riven the name of the individual who has ored any partcular speech. Secretary Mc- iara, acting, of course, under instructions a the President, has refused to do this. IS MOST IMPORTANT that we actly what the issue is between th, I the Secretary. In the first place, t y has given the Congress the names sors in the Pentagon, some fo gm. These men have been examined by the Congressional Committee session.

Because to surrender on that 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. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Registration Hassle.

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. -Andrew Saxe, '65 Sour...

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- (EDITOR'S NOTE--This is the first of two articles on Canada's new left-wing political party.) By RICHARD OSTLING 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.
