Washington Peace March

Con .. .

, ..

ODAY, thousands of students from every
area of'the United States wil start on their
way to Washington, gathering there to demon-
strate tomorrow and Saturday for a "Turn
rowards Pace." Others, unable to make the
rip, will participate by wearing white arm
bands over the weekend. Many will call these
people fools, believing either that the objectives
af the march are cowardly or traitorous, or
that piolitical appeals through such marches
64i only be futile against the overwhelming
momentum towards war that now exists in
bhe world.
Fulton Lewis Jr. has already labelled the
entire rally as Communist-inspired and direct-
ed. Undoubtedly, there will be Communist
participation. But the fundamental inspiration
and direction will be the belief in the preser-
nation of human life everywhere. To demon-
strate the essential integrity and dignity of
their protest, students have been advised to
dress as well as possible. Even through such
small things, the essential seriousness and ma-
turity o - the demonstration is evident. This
will be no rabble-rousing stomp into the
balls of government, but a responsible and
respectable expression of opinion through dem-
ocratic process..
Those who consider a group of people walk-
ing and carrying signs back and forth in the
cold little more than silly, have forgotten that
the right to assemble and to advocate peace-
fully any idea is basic to democracy. Demon-.
stration as a method of political pressure can-
not be called .silly without perverting these
ideals. To march on Washington, speak with
Congressmen, and picket silently are basic
exercises in the American way of life, and to
ask that no one die from nuclear war is a
basic exercise in life itself.
TVHE FIVE OBJECTIVES of the march were
planned carefully to ask no reduction of
United States second-strike military power.
These objectives ask nothing more than a
beginning demonstration of good faith. Many
who will attend the rally have advocated much
more, even to the 'extreme of unilateral dis-
armament under United Nations supervision.
Even they recognize that the first step must
be small and careful, and the "Turn Towards
Peace" must begin with a halt to the present
buildup towards war, at least long enough to
say to therest of the world "these things can
be done. Follow us."
No one can say for sure whether or not
a rally of this kind, composed of many who are
not yet old enough to vote, can have any
effect in the chilly mazes of Congress. But the
students who gather in Washington will be
expressing the conviction that they will have
an effect, a conviction that the United States
government does listen and respond to the
people.Those who say that demonstrations are
foolish have lost faith in democracy. Perhaps
they are right. But the students in Washington
still hold to this part of the American dream,
and will not yet allow themselves to be dis-
suaded..
THE WASHINGTON MARCH will be a great
deal more than an appeal for peace. It is
an appeal to a democratic government to
demonstrate the ideals for, which it stands:
respect for human life and human dignity,
and honest response to the will of people who
believe in human life and hu1an dignity.
As such, the. protest is wholly American.
Whoever says it is not, or that it is futile, has
lost the American dream.
The Washington protest will ask that the
rights of life and human dignity be extended
to the world, not destroyed. The demonstrators
know that there is only one absolute that
finally and hopelessly annihilates all human
worth-death on a nuclear scale. They know
that there is no dream without dreamers, and
that radioactive ashes are the ultimate tyranny
destroying all dreams.
The proposals are modest, but their meaning
is not. The "Turn Towards Peace" shows a
laudable and realistic willingness to begin with
small steps that will leave the United States
at no real military disability in defense. By
eliminating only its first-strike power, the
United States would offer proof of its con-
tention that- it is not an aggressor. Ina world
where fear is the dominant force of culture,
such a gesture could have only a beneficial
effect. The march advocates nothing dangerous,

nothing even remotely risky. The proposals
recognize that the "Turn Toward Peace" must
begin without risk, so that some confidence and
good faith can be built up for further steps
in a new direction.
WHATEVER THIS DEMONSTRATION may
or may not mean to world peace, it does
mean that some Americans still believe in the
processes of democracy. Whatever effect the
Washington march for a "Turn Towards
Peace" may or may not have upon the world
situation, it does, mean that some Americans
believe in the basic human right to life.

DISARMAMENT IS NECESSARY if civiliza-
tion is to survive. There are only two fore-
seeable ends to the spiralling arms race: dis-
armament or destruction.
The "balance of power" is no longer a third
alternative. Evety new weapon makes the
balance more precarious, and brings World
War III closer to a mathematical certainty.
The latest attempt to reverse these suicidal
policies and initiate "a turn towards peace" is
the Washington Project, centering about a stu-
dent demonstration in Washington, D.C., this
weekend. This effort, sponsored by a diverse
group of organizations and individuals, is at-
tracting an estimated 5,000 students from this
and other campuses. Peace demonstrations can
serve a useful purpose in the drive for world
disarmament. However, the specific proposals
of the Washington Project, and its methods of
demonstrating, leave something to be desired.
EVERY VOICE raised for peace advances us
towards the essential first step for disarma-
ment: getting everyone on the earth com-
pletely and sincerely in favor of It.
In Communist nations, the arms race is pro-
moted from an ideological standpoint. People
yearning for peace sometimes forget that Com-
munist policy is dedicated to liberating the
workers of the world who are enslaved by
capitalism. This is its goal; the basis of mor-
ality, as self-righteous and sincere a belief as
any religion. What advances Communism, is
moral; what does not, is immoral.
Thus we cannot ask Mr. Khrushchev (or
Mao Tse-Tung) to seek disarmament because
it is "morally right" in the Western sense. He
must be convinced that it is "morally right" by
the Marxist definition: beneficial to Commu-
nism. He must realize that nuclear war would
destroy all Communism has achieved so far.
Does he recognize these facts? His professed
desire for disarmament and coexistence, and
the fact that fast-growing Russia has a lot to
lose in a nuclear war, are hopeful signs. On
the other hand, Russia's evasive tactics at dis-
armament talks, and occasional Khrushchev
remarks that Communism would inevitably
survive any war, make us doubt his desire for
true disarmament.
TN THIS NATION, many openly oppose dis-
armament. The hyper-nationalists, the
"blast Russia off the map" boys, and those who
have careers or fortunes depending on the arms
race-these people do not want disarmament,
and their influence on Western policy makes
our stand on world peace an equivocal one
which we cannot expect the Communists to
trust.
By pointing out and underscoring the grim
truths of the nuclear age, peace demonstra-
tions can help bring about this important
change in attitudes-a psychological "turn
towards peace." But the Washington Project
unwisely goes beyond this-it asks that uni-
lateral disarmament measures be taken by
the United States before the change of atti-
tude, in hopes that the change of attitude will
result, and that the USSR would follow with
similar military cutbacks, and the disarma-
ment ball would be rolling.
AS WE HAVE SEEN, there is no conclusive
evidence that the Communists would not
take advantage of our concessions. Further, the
Washington proposals gloss over the unpleasant
fact that until world attitudes change, mili-
tary operations must continue-and the pro-
posals for abandonment of missile bases in
Turkey and Italy, suspension of atmospheric
nuclear tests and pulling back our forces from
the European Iron Curtain, are risky military
cutbacks.
The Washington Project's sponsors say that
this would 'only renounce our "first-strike"
power, but in reality it would remove vital links
in the defense of America and her allies; links
which, however ugly, must be maintained until
it is safe to remove them.
IGNORING THE ISSUE for the moment, the
Washington Project rates some criticism
from another angle. The frequent-and usually
incorrect-charge that student demonstrators
have little interest in or knowledge of the issues
at hand, and are taking part for various other
reasons, may be justified here. Invited to Wash-
ington, D.C. at a very low price, how many
hypocrites immediately became disarmament
advocates in exchange for a study-break, a

little excitement, a chance to travel, and a
unique experience? How many joined just be-
cause their friends are going?
Perhaps more dangerous, how many students
who fancy themselves as openminded and hu-
manitarian, have espoused this cause, while
knowing nothing about it, for the sole reason
that it is tagged as a "liberal" stand?
Any disarmament project, simply because it
deals in nuclear weapons, is playing with fire.
The Washington Project cannot command our
respect until it learns to play more carefully.

Harpsichordist
Livens Old Music
ANN ARBOR was recepient last night of one of those unique treats
that appears once in a while. Fernando Valenti, the eminent harp-
sichordist, played a program of 17th and 18th-century music which
drew warm response from a good-sized and enthusiastic audience.
From the French repertoire, Valenti began with the "Chaconne in
G" by the 17th-century Louis Couperin, one of the lesser-known mem-
bers of the famous Couperin family, The 18th-century contemporary
of Bach, Jean-Philippe Rameau, was represented by two rigaudons,' a
musette, and a rondeau, all transcribed by the composer from one of
his operas,
FROM THE ENGLISH SCHOOL, Valenti played a pavan and gal-
liard of William Byrd, a suite by Henry Purcell, and, as encore, a piece
by Giles Farnaby (a contemporary of Byrd).
The remaining works are by composers who have a certain con-
nection by each other. Handel's "Chaconne with Variations in G ma-
jor" followed Couperin. Handel was a good friend of Domenico Scar-
latti in Italy; in fact they were good-naturedly pitted against each
other in a harpsichord-playing contest (Handel won). Valenti's tech-
nical abilities were especially evident in four sonatas by Scarlatti. A
little-known pupil of Scarlatti was the Spanish Padre Antonio Soler,
represented by a D-major sonata.
* * * *
THE HARPSICHORD is an instrument which does not respond to
differences in pressure from the finger. The performer must rely on
subtle freedoms of rhythm to emphasize a particular aspect of the
music.
That.Valenti could blow away the dust from this music and bring
it to life by sensitive and appropriate freedoms is a great accomplish-
ment. He found sentiment (not sentimentality) and excitement not
often found in old music.

ELECTION PREVIEW:
Canada's Third Party

IQC'S SECOND YEAR:
Houses Wary of New Constitution

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
second in a two-part series examin-
ing the state of Inter-Quadrangle
Council and its proposed constitu-
tion.)
By GERALD STORCH
Daily Staff Writer
ALTHOUGH the official tally is"
not yetin, it appears certain
that the new Inter-Quadrangle
Council constitution has been re-
jected by the independent houses,
two-thirds of which must approve
it.
Opposition has centered not
only on revisions which have been
proposed, but also on the basic
rationale which the new document
took word-for-word from the old
constitution.
Van Tyne house, in President
Tom Moch's own South Quad, ob-
jected because the preamble stat-
ed the line of authority descends
"through IQC to the quadrangle
councils and hence to the individ-
ual houses."
* * *
MANY STUDENTS feel that the
reverse should be true.
They maintain that the house,

the smallest integral living unit
possible, should be the main com-
ponent in the residence halls
structure, as outlined in the Mich-
igan House Plan. This viewpoint
would relegate IQC to being strict-
ly a coordinating and communica-
tory body.
Actually, this is just about all
IQC is anyway, as the Board of
Governors' snuffing out of the
women-in-the-quads motion clear-
ly indicates.
BUT THE HOUSE is the theo-
retical or practical governing au-
thority over quad men has also
proven inadequate. The "house"
system in South Quad, for exam-
ple, is often farcical. The building
itself doesn't differentiate one
house from another: the room pat-
tern is the same, the furnishings
are the same, the lounge arrange-
ment is the same.
The house system in West and
East Quads would seem to be much
stronger, if only because each
house is a physical unit. But how
much the men govern themselves

To The Eio

Philosophy . .
To the Editor:
PROFESSOR CLAUDE of the
political science department
walked into his first lecture on
Problems in American Foreign'
Policy and after some brief for-
malities, he began his course by
stating in concrete terms the phi-
losophy of education that underlies
his method of teaching, and the
effect he hoped his course would
have on the student.
He said that education is not
merely the transmission of facts'
and information from the teacher
to the student, but that the stu-
dent must develop the skills of
understanding and analysis, and
learn how to put critical evalua-
tive tools to work.
Apart from the fact that I
am in close agreement with Pro-
fessor Claude's conception of the
educational process, it struck me
that this was the first time since
I have been at the University of
Michigan that any instructor has
bothered to present to his class
a statement of educational goals.
I think that the time may have
come that all of us, students and
faculty both, should spend more
time thinking about the raison
d'etre of a university, and just
what we are here for. I would
certainly be in favor of every in-
structor starting his course with
just such a statement of what the
goals of education, and specifi-
cally his course, are. And maybe
some instructors would be willing
to devote an hour or so away
from the regular subject matter
of the course to discuss this state-
ment.
The meaning of education has
been lost in an atmosphere of a
rat race where grades, not know-
ledge or understanding, is the
ni n.n d19An rpadit hours and not

as presented in Michael Harrah's
editorial. The amount of academic
freedom we receive, whether it is
a result of paternalism or not,
creates in most students a sense
of pride in achievement and a
desire to learn and integrate ma-
terial. It does not necessarily pro-
duce or foster academic dishonesty.
Students learn to take responsi-
bility academically by receiving
more of it, not by 'having it taken
away.
Why then does this not apply
to the social aspect of university
life? Someone once said that auto-
mobiles and drive-in theaters
present the greatest challenge to
the morals of our society. Most of
us have been living with these
challenges since we were in high
school, and many of us have
lived up to them.
Added moral responsibility does
not necessarily lead to moral dis-
honesty. It would provide a more
realistic environment and would
better "prepare the student for
life," the traditional role of the
University.
-Madelaine Bates, '63
Stockings
To the Editor:
ACTING AGAINST the general
consensus of opinion of the
girls who live in Vaughn, the
committee chairmen of the dorm
voted for the wearing of stockings
at Sunday dinner. A motion made
and passed at a compulsory house
meeting Monday night, showed
that 55 to 37 were opposed to the
regulation while the council, im-
mediately after, voted 9 to 8 in
favor of it.
In other words, the ballots cast
by the chairmen were counted
equally with the corridor represen-
+m.ftan ctand nr the nninionnsof

depends greatly on the type of
staff in the house.
The yearly exodus of residents
is just about the same from quad
to quad. So the men are dissatis-
fied with either the unchangeable
physical environment or with
things that they can change. The
fact that they haven't been chang-
ed means existing channels, in-
cluding house government, are
powerless or inadequate.
THE REAL PROBLEM in the
quadrangles now is not failures in
academic or social commitment,
but the living conditions and re-
strictions.
Students generally get their
academic fill from classwork, and
there is little need for the quads
to stimulate his intellect. The stu-
dents' social life is centered on
campus activities and non-quad-
rangle functions.
Therefore, it seems fairly accur-
ate to say that all a student wants
or needs from a residence hall is
a nice place to live.
But the Scheub report, as well
as the grumbling which nobody
bothers to write down, show the
quads are not fulfilling this func-
tion well enough.
* g *
THE QUESTION of whether
students in residence hall govern-
ment should wield power at the
house or IQC level becomes mere-
ly academic. The real issue should
be where students can get the most
influence.
Those interested In quad gov-
ernment should focus on the poli-
tical, rather than structural, prob-
lem. IQC did this to some extent
with its program for tri-weekely
conferences with students and
staff administrators on some as-
pect of quad life. (This program
has been shelved until implemen-
tation by the new council.) But the
broad issue itself has not been
met.
THE CONSTITUTION has also
run into trouble on revisions of
the judiciary and the secretary-
treasurer's post. Opponents of the
first change complain it would be
possible for the same student to
hear Judic cases at all three levels
in the new system. This has some
justification. No one wants to have
the same person re-hear his case
even though he may not decide
the case at three levels.
Others view with alarm the plan
to make the secretary-treasurer
into two posts, for fear that under
the slate system (in which the
president is elected with his own
hand-picked slate of officers) this
bloc of four votes instead of three
could amplify domination by one
quad. An amendment specifying
that the slate include representa-
tives from each quad might
soothe this controversy.
But it is obvious that all these
points of conflict need more exam-
ination and discussion. The im-
minent rejection of the new con-
stitution will provide just that.

A TTm W A TAT AT rTATrT

(EDITOR'S NOTE-This is the
second of two articles on Canada's
new left-wing political party.)
By RICHARD OSTLING
Associate Editorial Director
HOW FAR Canada's New Demo-
cratic Party will get in its
first effort at the polls depends,
to a great extent, on public judg-
ment of what its semi-socialism
has been doing in Saskatchewan
over the years.
If you talk .to University stu-
dents from the province, you are
likely to get arosy picture of the
government as a highly success-
ful, omniscient force for good.
They have introduced a lot of
good changes, say liberal obser-
vers. And the mere fact that they
have held power so long indicates
they have had great success as
far as the people are concerned.,
Besides extending government
ownership in industry, the party
forged ahead with ambitious pro-
vincial insurance and hospitaliza-
tion plans. Labor has been granted
higher minimum wages, liberal
holiday stints and numerous
fringe benefits.
s* *
BUT THE SOCIALIST experi-
ment has not been without its
problems.
Every time the government
bought out a business, cries went
up that payment was insufficient.
A province-run shoe factory,
housing corporation, fish proces-
sing plant, box factory and a
woolen mill lost well over a mil-
lion dollars in taxpayers' money
before they folded. The Liberal
Party opposition, resents govern-
ment favors shown to such ".crown
corporations" which compete wit)
private firms.
CANADA'S NEXT national elec-
tion will come when Prime Minis-
ter John Diefenbaker's Conserva-
tives decide to dissolve Parliament.
They have until 1963 to pick the
best possible time for their suc-
cess at the polls.
At one time the election was
expected last fall, but with North
Country snows settled in, it will
be at least a number of months
before campaigning begins, if not
later. But seasoned reporters ex-
pect it this year, after analyzing
the Prime Minister's hard-hitting

speech at the opening of Parlia-
ment.
DIEFENBAKER has challenged
the Liberals and NDP to fight the
next election on the issue of so-
cialism versus private enterprise.
Douglas has taken on the fight,
in a welfare-ish sort of way,
while the Liberals claim no roots
in socialist thought at all.
Liberal leader Lester Pearson
will probably paint his party as
a progressive alternative to the
radical NDP, to throw out the
bungling Conservatives.
* * *
JUST HOW MUCH of Canada's
economic recession has been caus-
ed by Conservative policy will be
a topic for partisan debate, not
solution. James E. Coyne was re-
'cently fired as governor of the
Bank of Canada, and the Con-
servative government has loosened
the flow of money by lowering in-
terest rates.
Freer spending has caused that
rapid drop in the value of the
Canadian dollar you may have
noticed if you've been hunting in
Ontario recently.
The present government has
also had other problems.
WHILE THE NDP of Douglas is
the strongest third party in re-
cent Canadian history, it probably
won't be able tocapitalize on the
country's economic woes to a very
great extent in the next election.
Conceivably, it could hold the
balance of power keeping both
major parties from a majority in
the next Parliament. The big par-
ties are undecided as to what the
NDP will do in the.next election,
Saturday Night reported. But the
Toronto magazine predicts they
will grow quite uneasy when the
impact of Douglas' personality is
felt in the campaign,
While nobody expects the new
party to win the national election,
a strong showing would push the
national government to the left,
and could possibly sweep the NDP
into power in British Columbia,
where it is presently the opliosi-
tion party.
And whatever happens, the de-
bate on proper extent of govern-
ment enterprise will be of gieat
interest to the more conservative
Americans, whohwonder whether
it could happen here.
