THE MICHIGAN DAILY D SDAY., F 9. 1962 THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY. MAY 9. 1962 HIGH SCHOOL DEBATES: Flint, Mt. Pleasant I W in By MYRNA ALPERT t First place in the 45th annualt state championship debates of thet Michigan High School Forensic Association held last week went toX Flint Northern High School in thet "A" Division and to Mt. Pleasantt Sacred Heart Academy in the "B"I Division. Both teams represented the! negative side of the subject: re- solved - "That the Federal gov-1 ernment should equalize educa-t tional opportunity by means and grants to the states 'for public ele- mentary and secondary educa- tion."t The affirmative team in class "A" Division was from JacksonK High School and the one in thet class "B" Division represented Saginaw St. Mary Cathedral High School. Jackson Team The Jackson team defined thei equality of educational opportu- nity as every child having the chance to fully develop his own talents. They then went on to de-t fend their stand that the state and local communities do not and can not adequately provide for the education of migrant workers't children and those in slum areas. The negation from Flint North- ern named projects that were al- ready underway in Colorado, Ore- gon, and Pennsylvania in which the states have made rapid strides toward equalizing the education of migrant workers' children with those who have a settled resi- dence. They feel that the resources for such activities all over the coun- try can come from a reassessment of property values, thus raising the taxes on them. They showed that the successful programs all used the money to improve the cultural environment of the children rather than just improve the facilities in the schools. The class "B" affirmative team from Saginaw St. Mary Cathedral High School argued that "inequali- ties in education exist from finan- cial inequalities of the states. Quote Reports They quoted reports showing that states which have a shortage of qualified teachers also have an average teacher income lower than the mean for the country. They suggested a plan in which CompetitionE each state would set up a research commission to study the way in which its finances were being em- ployed and to offer plans for put- ting them to more efficient use. Then after the states helped themselves as much as possible, they could apply for federal aid for education.

This makes the purchasing power of the individual fairly equal in all areas. Wait Disdn Friday: "Judgment l* * -4 * t~ at Nuremberg" .

CHASE The name "Friars," originally designating a Michigan drinking club, is now attached to the noted Michigan vocal octet, said Steven Jones, '64, first tenor and treasur- er of the Friars. In the late nineteenth century a group of University students formed a social drinking club which they called the Friars. After this +uasi-fraternity disbanded in the latter decade of this century, the name Friars lay dormant until 1955 when Dr. Walter Collins of Yale University founded a small ensemble composed of University Men's Glee Club members who adopted the name "Friars" for their organization. Self-Sustaining The Friars are self-sustaining. Being a member of the University's Men's Glee Club is the only pre- requisite for trying out for the Friars. The Glee Club neither gives them monetary support nor interferes with their tryouts. The Friars' extensive repertoire encompasses many vocal forms, from barbershop, to modern, to novelty, to rock 'n roll, Jones ex- plained. Last February the Friars sang at colleges in Washington State and have already been ,invited back for a performance next year. They will be giving a concert in Kansas City in the middle of May. Brook Stanford, '63, president and first tenor, explained that the Friars have many such invitations, but, due to academic commit- ments at the University, they are unable to accept. The Friars do most of their per- froming at university fraternity and soroity social events, and functions in southern Michigan. Most of the Friars' arrange- ments are original. Ronald Jeffers, '65SM, second tenor, and Leonard Riccinto, '63 SM, baritone, are the chief arrangers. The Friars plan to make a rec- ord next fall to augment the col- lection of songs on their present disc, "Fun With the Friars." Travel Extensively In their capacity as accompany- ing ensemble to The Men's Glee Club, the Friars have traveled from coast to coast, have toured throughout Europe, and have ap- peared on radio and television. Their varied audiences respond cordially and appreciatively to their humor and harmony, Stan- ford noted. The Friars are always given a spot at the Glee Club concerts, and this Saturday is no exception. They will appear on May 12 at the annual spring concert in Hill Aud, The other Friars are Donald Cole, '64, second tenor, Roger Ser- geant, G, baritone, Ralph Helzer- man, '64, bass, and Sam Carter,, '63, bass and business manager. ASHAWAY VANTAGE For Tournament Play Approx. Stringing Cost Tenns .........$9 HENRY IV Fraser Infers Failure Of Alliance for Progress By ROBERT SELWA The Alliance for Progress is fail- ing. This is the impression Steven Fraser, Grad., received at a recent conference on Latin America held at Oberlin College. "The Alliance is falling apart," he commented Monday. "It's miss- ing the mark. Rapid Progress "The Latin Americans want rapid progress and the Alliance for Progress is slow. The Alliance's funds are committed to non-pro- ductive means that could have been taken care of by the people." Fraser cited housing and edu- cation. He said local capital should TONIGHT Le mouton a cinq pattes be used for building houses and schools, and that United States aid ought to go to promoting industry. But "powerful economic pres- sure groups" in Washington pre- vent this more valid type of aid because of the possibility of com- petition with American capitalists, he added. Primrose Path "And these vested interests in Washington are likely to lead America down the primrose path of destruction," Fraser asserted. He noted that the Alliance for Progress is known among Latin Americans as "the Castro plan" because it came about as a re- sponseto Fidel Castro's Cuban. revolution. "Latin Americans do not regard Castroism as Communism, "Fraser explained. "They regard it as a unique brand of socialism, com- pletely indigenous to Cuba: And this is its appeal to Latin Amer- ica." Accommodation With Cuba Fraser said that for the United States to be more successful in Latin America, it needs to achieve an accommodation with Cuba, with both countries making con- cessions. The United States also needs to push social change more force- fully, Fraser suggested. "How many revolts and revolu- tions in Latin America do you hear about calling for slow change and free enterprise?" he added. Thornton To Talk On 'Colonialism' Prof. A. P. Thornton of the Uni- versity of Toronto history depart- ment will speak on "Colonialism," at 4:15 p.m. today in Aud. C. The talk is being sponsored by the his- tory department.
