University Conept:
COmmunity or hIstitution?.
[N RECENT DEBATE on the philosophy of
the Office of Student Affairs, some have
ried to maintain a distinction between the
cademic and personal concerns of the stu-
ent. For.these people, Prof. Donald Eschman's
emarks at the Board of Governors' meeting
londay must have come as a shock and
evelation.
In opposing the IQC motion to allow women,
a the men's quadrangles, Prof. Eschman noted
hat disturbances might be created which
ould upset the academic atmosphere of the
ouses. He said he thought the proposal was
educationally unsound."
Everyone, I'm sure, senses that there is a
ifferencp between academic and personal mat-
ers. (l4ost men in the residence halls ob-
Lously class the presence of women in their
oom as personal, rather than academic.)
ut it is obvious that, unless some further dis-
nction is made, a criterion like "educational
>undness" can be twisted and perverted just
s easily as "conduct unbecoming a student"
r "the good of the University."
)NE MUST BEGIN by examining the func-
tion of'rules in a university.
Now, as is constantly pointed out, a society
annot exist without rules and compulsory
bligations. Students at a university, and people
rerywhere, must be prevented' from doing
zings which will hurt ,others. But at this
niversity there prevails a philosophy that
udents must also be prevented from doing
ings which will-or might-hurt themselves.
a
No one can deny that young children must
e shielded' and guided for their own good.
arents are perfectly justified in being paren-
dl, and so are the public schools. But grad-
ation from high school is a watershed. Young
eople may marry and begin raising families.
hey may get jobs, and some of them may
e drafted. The ones that go on to college are
articularly entitled to be treated as adults.
Unfortunately faculty members and admin-
trators persist in policies which are aimed at.
,ving students from themselves. This is true
Ath in and outside the classroom, and is
afair and unwise in either case. Women, must
main in the residence halls for three years
their chastity will remain intact; pop quizzes
e given in some classes to keep students from
,ling too far behind. Women students sign
t'and out of the dormitories and have a
Lrfew so they will get enough rest; language
,dents punch a time clock so they will be
rced to do enough practicing.:
;OTH ACADEMIC and personal paternalism
should be unconditionally rejected. When
is first step is accomplished, one can then.
bate who should be empowered to impose
ad enforce the rules which, quite properly,
'event students from hurting others. In es-
sence, only two answers to this question are
logically possible. They involve drastically
different assumptions about what a univer-
sity should be.
According to one point of view, the Univer-
sity should be a community. If we begin by
rejecting paternalism and all it implies, each
class of the community must be regarded as
the equal of the others. Given these assump-
tions one must find a way to accommodate the
differences between the three clearly recog-
nizable estates in the community-students,
faculty and administration. The fairest way
is to have equal representation of each group
on all policy-making boards, up to and in-
cluding the top-ranked board. An alternative
way is to have equal representation on the
top board and'then delegate authority to three
bodies which would' respectively' govern and
and be composed of only students, only faculty
and only administrators.
Instead of regarding the university as a
community, one may compare it to a library.
According to this conception, the administra-
tion and faculty are the permanent staff of
the library, and students come here' to use
the facilities--to get an education. In this
model, the students are private citizens, not
members of a community, and hence the,
normal law, enforcement channels-e.g. the
Ann Arbor police-suffice to see that they do
not hurt others. If students want changes
in the operation of the university, they should
simply file a complaint or raise a commotion
instead of creating student governments and
joining committees.
W HICHEVER CONCEPTION of the Univer-
sity one adopts, much work needs to be
done. If the University should be a community,
then the innumerable pockets of power which
now exist should be consolidated. Equitable
representation should be provided in all gov-
erning bodies, or each estate should have the
right to totally govern its own affairs.
If the University should be comparable to
a library, then Student Government Council,,
members of the Residence Hall Board of Gov-
ernors, and everyone in the Office of Student
Affairs should consider resigning their jobs.
UJNFORTUNATELY, no one is analyzing the
problems of the University in terms of these
two alternatives, or in any other mfeaningful
conceptual framework. People talk of getting
rid of paternalism outside the classroom but
retaining it inside; of throwing out the notionj
of students as part of a community while re-
taining student government council to calen-
dar events; and they otherwise confuse con-
cepts.
At the present, this University is being run
by the seat of its philosophical pants.

To the Editor:
T WAS A SAD thing to hear
that the Residence Halls Board
of Governors succumbed to pres-
sure and defeated the IQC resolu-
tion to allow women to visit in
the quads. They voted under the
pressure of a flood of letters from
various people. All week long the
newspapers in this , area printed'
letters which spoke out against
this , proposal. Very little was
printed in favor of the motion
presented by Moch. Just two weeks
ago, the opinions of a majority
of thbemembers of the Board were
favorable toward this idea, yet
they all voted against the pro-
posal (with the exception of
Moch).
We have not been defeated yet.
There is an effective way that
we can fight back. We must write
letters, have our, parents write
letters and havesupporting alum-
nus write letters to the Board of
Governors and to all people con-
cerned. Also write letters to The
Daily and The Ann Arbor News.
Let's be heard. Now is the time
to act if 'we want this to pass.

Airing. .
To the Editor:
FOR OvER twenty years, the
University of Michigan has run
a system of residence halls for
the use of its men. Ever since it
started this system, the Board of
Governors, the Office of the Dean
of Men, and the Residence Halls
Staff have tried hard toiImpress
upon the quadrangle residents that
the quads are their home.
But now the Board of Gover-
nors has voted to continue to
strictly limit one of the basic
rights of- a person's home; the
right to have guests in his home.
This reveals the Administration
for what it really is: Just a lot
of hot air.

Football ...
To the Editor:
FOOTBALL IS NOT played for
the amusement or edification
of the students, faculty, or ad-
ministration of the University. It
is played for (1) the public, (2)
the alumni, (3) the State Legis-
lature, and (4) the businessmen of
Ann Arbor.
The first three of these groups
have the misguided idea that the
worth of a university is fied direc-
tly to the performance of its
football team. They have heard
about "education" and "research,"
but feel that these are not the
important criteria upon which to
evaluate a school. Since a con-
siderablenportion of the Univer-
sity's financial support comes
from these groups, the University
must necessarily pander to their
interests.
The fourth group-Ann Arbor's
businessmen-profit both directly
and indirectly from the large num-
bers of people attracted to the
games. The maintenance of good
"town and gown" relations is con-
sequently intimately connected
with the continuation of big-time
football-and with good (i.e., win-
ning) teams.
Football at the University is not
a sport played for the fun of play-
ing; it is. a business, played in
order to win. Because of the pres-
sures mentioned above, it would
be next to impossible for football
to be anything else. Unfortu-
natly, though, to call football a
business conflicts with the evalua-
tive stereotypes we hold about
athletics and its place at a Uni-
versity.'
It is "insulting" and "degrading"
to admit to ourselves (or to others)
that winning is more important
than "playing the game." Con-
sequently, we have to conceal or
rationalize away a variety of the
more unsavory concommitants of
football as a business.
FOR EXAMPLE, consider the
following:
In order to pursue a successful
football season in the most ra-
tional way possible, a sizeable or-
ganization has evolved. Essentially
(and necessarily) independent
from any controls, the Athletic
Department has specialists in ad-
ministration, publicity, recruit-
ment, physical plant, equipment,
sales, training-and on and on.
These are all legitimate business
functions necessary for the ef-
ficient pursuit of the goals of the
Athletic Department. However,
these goals and functions do not
coincide with our stereotypes of
"sport" as "sport."
Therefore we have to hide the
existence of this massive heir-
archy through the use of mislead-
ing titles, nominal assignment to-
recognized educational units or
administrative divisions, etc. But
this large and incompatible organ-
ization is there, and we all know
it is there.
Good football players are a.
scarce commodity, and therefore
must be rewarded in one way or
another if we are to obtain them.
For the most part, our rewards
take the forms of (1) money and
material rewards, (2) apprentice-
ship training for professional foot-
ball, and (3) a degree from the
University.
The first of these is the hard-
est for us to reconcile with our
stereotypes. We become uncom-
fortable when we realize that the
largest individual scholarships at
the undergraduate level, ofg course
---go to football players. We don't
talk about this-because it doesn't
do much good to talk about it.
We need good football players,
and to get them we have to enter
the market.
BESIDES the scholarships, there
are other monetary and material
rewards we have at our disposal
as rewards. The "family use" tick-
ets on the 50-yard line allotted to
the athletes (in a manner not to
be discussed) are given .to others
in exchange for suitable "gifts."
The training table, alumni gifts,
part-time "jobs"-all of these en-
able us to compete with other
universities for the more proficient
football players.
Training for professional foot-
ball is a potent reward for many
of the better players. You don't
become a "pro" by sitting around
for four years "getting an educa-
tion"; neither do you enter pro-
fessional football directly. Further,
you get the best training, and a
chance to' be noticed, from the
best teams. Itist not very often
that professional players come
from Eastern Michigan University,
or Slippery Rock, or from Harvard,
Yale, etc.
Finally, we can offer the reward
of a degree from the University.
This is our "best" and"worst" in-
ducement, at the same time. It is
our best because it helps us to
rationalize everything else: "We're
giving the boys a chance to get
an education (i.e., a degree) that
they couldn't get otherwise";
"sure our boys have brawn, but
they have brains too"; "you can't
get into Michigan if you don't
have something up there (especi-
ally if you're from out-of-state) ,"
etc.
This is what we tell ourselves-
and know that at best all of the
statements are half-truths. Foot-
ball players are admitted where
others of the same intellectual
levels are turned away. We have to
make these exceptions in order to
get them. But at the same time
the U of M degree hinders ef-
fective recruiting. Michigan is re-
garded as one of the "harder"
(i.e., intellectually more demand-
ing) schools. Some minimum evi-
dence of intellectual ability and
effort is required. Therefore we .
lose some of our best prospects
before we begin.
ONCE THE PLAYERS are here,
of course, we do our best to guar-
antee their degree. We do it sub-
tely, for the most part-we select
the most appropriate and easiest
program (physical education), we
pick the "right" electives for the
players, we provide them with tu-
tors (and, unofficially, sometimes
more), we make judicious use of
letters to the more recalcitrant
faculty members.
Occasionally, of course, blatant
preference is shown for football
players, and is recognized campus-
wide. But this is the individual
faculty member's own free choice,
and he or she bears the respon-
sibility.
We need winning football teams,
and we do our very best to obtain
them. Admittedly, we are not al-
ways successful. However, let us
remember the problems faced in
getting winning teams and the
reason why they should win. It is
not for us at the University that
they play; if it were, students
would not be assessed the Athletic
Fee to support the Athletic De-
partment. Rather, football is
played for all those groups whose
support we so unfortunately need
if we are to continue to be a Uni-
versity.

Pressure. . .
To the Editor:
GENERALLY I THINK Mr. Rob-
erts has made some fair points
in regard to the emotional topic
of women in the quads. However,
he has also overlooked an analy-
sis that might be more revealing.
While the central issue may be
that of the -University governing
without consent, the present topic
is only one issue that bears on
the general principle of concern.
Granted that this issue may be
important, at least in the. eyes
of those that it affects, but let
us not overplay its importance in
the total scheme of the University.
By insisting that definite and
permanent stands be taken on
this issue, those authors leave
themselves open to the criticism of
reacting emotionally to the prob-
lem (the same claim is being made
by these authors against those in
opposition to the issue). The fact
that administrators and Regents
may be pressured and hence may
vote down the issue is not a denial
that they have principles or that
they would perhaps personally
vote in favor. It does mean that
there are other considerations to
be made--such as, next year's ap-
propriations from the legislature,
whether some capable students
will be denied the privilege of com-
ing to the university (by their
parents), the resultant bad pub-
licity if problems do arise as a
result of approving the proposal,
atnd the general impression made
upon people when learning of this
radical change.
* * *
TO OBJECT to the fact that
these pressures will occur, to say
that people should not react in
this way, to say that these issues
have nothing to do with the gen-
eral principle is fine (I agree).
But we do not live in that type
of world. The fact is that these
other issues are all involved and
hence will affect the disposition
of the proposal. To argue further
that administrators should not

TIHE "GOVERNMENT" in Iran
is truly unique. Not only has
it managed to tyrannize the in-
habitants of its own domain, but
it is also attempting to achieve
similar results on American soil
by meddling with the lives of
Iranian students here.
The roots of the connection be-
tween the United States and Iran
extend back to 1953, when the
super-secret Central Intelligence
Agency, in a coup d'etat which
deceived no one, toppled the re-
gime of Mohammed Mossadegh.
The source of this happenstance
was that Premier Mossadegh had
planned to nationalize the Ameri-
can-Iranian Oil Company, which
had been siphoning off the wealth
of Iran to England and the West
for 30 years:
* * *
FOR A LONG TIME the AIOC
has retained, as its legal con-
sultant, a law company in New
York in which Allen and John
Foster Dulles were partners.
On August 10, 1953, Allen Dulles
left for a "vacation" in the Swiss
Alps. At thevsame time, the Ame-
can ambassador to Iran also
chose to take a holiday, in the
Swiss Alps. Princess Ashraf, the
twin sister of the Shah of Iran,
sudenly departed on a ,tour, to the
Swiss Alps.
The Shah, sympathetic to the
colonialist interests, was desirous
of improving his rather powerless
position .in the Mossadegh power
structure. After this series of travel
"coincidences," the Participants
laid the groundwork for the over-
throw of the premier. The Satur-
day Evening Post reported the
Shah, by utilizing dissident ele-
ments in the army, plus $19 mil-
lion of CIA funds, eventually forc-
ed Mossadegh's capitulation and
his national disgrace.
* * *
WITH MOSSADEGH out of the
way, the Shah has ever since held
foremost power in Iran. To help
keep him in power, the United
States has poured mor than $1
billion into his country.
The results have been not only
dubious but disastrous.
Themoney has gone only to the
self-perpetuating dynastic elites
'and has widened the gulf between
the rich and poor.
Literacy in Iran is estimated
by most reports to be seven per
cent. Inflation is increasing at
10 per cent a year; schoolteachers'
wages average $25 a month. In
one major reconstruction project,
the Karadj dam, the United States
had spent $3 million to build a
road around the proposed site. Un-
fortunately, no construction has
even started on the dam, mainly
because there was no contract to
build it.
BUNGLING is inevitable in for-
eign aid, and poverty will occur
in the most earnest of countries.
When coupled with tyranny. how-
ever, neither can be justified.
The Shah maintains an army
of 200,000 men, larger than that
of West Germany and Japan. A:
strong secret police and spy sys-
tem await his orders.
In order to consolidate his power,
i.he promised in 1954 extensive land
reforms. Few, if any, have ma-
terialized. The same zear; his gov-
ernment made an agreement with
oil producers in which Iran would
receive half the profits. Unfor-
tunately, this money has gone into
luxury real estate, commodity im-
ports such as cars, and foreign
investments, instead of raising the
basic standard of living.
IN 1957 the Shah made a mis-
take. He created a two-party sys-
tem to present a facade of demo-
cracy, a situation he thought he
could control.
Despite surveillance' and harass-
ment by the security police, the
opposition party grew consider-
ably stronger than the Shah had
thought. Therefore, in the par-
liamentary elections in early 1960,
he had to resort to flagrant rig-
ging, according to Iran. Nameh,
the Iranian Students Association
newspaper.
However, the fixed vote was ap-
parently not close enough to fool
anybody, and the pressures built
up through the years finally ex-
ploded on this issue. Students
from Tehran University protested
the elections with a demonstra-
tion 12,000 strong in the capital
city. Six students were reported
killed by police, and the Shah was
compelled to void the elecions.
NEW "ELECTIONS" were set
for May 1960, but the people could
not forget the fraudulence of the
previous ones, and continued to
protest. Five thousand teachers
rioted in front of the Parliament
building. During the frenzy a
policeman killed one and wounded
three demonstrators. Bloody hand-
to-hand fighting ensued between
students and teachers and the po-
lice, which eventually complIed the
Shah to install a new premier-
Ali Amini, an old Mossadegh sup-
porter.
Yet this concession has not
brought justice to the Iranian
people. Newspapers are still muz-
zled, and hundreds of students
remain behind bars.
Hunger and poverty kill as many
citizens as before the uprisings.
* * *
AS RESISTORS to this sort of
tyranny and degradation of hu-
manity, Iranian students in the
United State are under brual pres-
sure. Most of them have scholar-
ships from their government, and
will be recalled if they become too
active politically.
Examples of this interference are
plentiful. The Iranian embassy,
disliking the political views of the
president and vice-president of the
Iranian Students Association, has
refused to extend their passports.
The embassy has attempted to
subvert the processes of the ISA,
and has tried to revise the edi-
torial freedom of the Iran Nameh,
the ISA newspaper. Severa Iran-
ian students have had to make the
bitter choice of asking asylum 'in
the United States.
* * *
IF SUCH EVENTS continue, the
next major revolution in the world
may, well occur in Iran. The bridge
between the rich few and the
poor masses, many of them the
rebellious students, simply cannot
continue. The promises for a bet-
ter future merely intensify the
dissatisfaction with the present.
After its inexcusable role in the
1953 revolt, the United States will
either continue to funnel foreign
aid into a few well-feathered nests,
or it will adopt a responsible pol-
icy.
It should demand genuine re-
forms in Iran, with the alterna-
tive of withdrawing the financial
support. It must maeke sure that
all students and other political
prisoners are i-eleased, and that
grafters are removed from their
positions of comfort and power.
It is about time the Iranian gov-
ernment stopped ruining the lives
of its people, and time also the
United States refused to support
the mockery of human dignity.

A
DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN
ELINE ON SGC:
A C onsistent Philosophy
BETWEEN NOW and Christmas vacation
Student Government Council will make,
some of the most important decisions in its
history and set significant precedent for future
Councils.
It is therefore more important than ever
that the body make decisions which are con-
sistent not only with each other, but with some
inderlying philosophy as well. Action taken by
whatever faction can swing the most uncom-
mlitted votes is not responsible, but in this
way the fate of motions for most of this year
has been decided.
AMONG THE ISSUES the Council will de-
bate in the next three weeks is former
member David Croysdale's motion on limita-
ion of expression of student opinion to issues
which "directly affect the student during his
enure at the University." (What Croysdale
neant by this evasively-worded statement is
'on-campus". issues.)
In voting on this motion, SGC is making
policy decision which, has far broader implica-
Lions than many members seem to recognize.
the Council is choosing between the concept
of a strictly local, rubber-stamp" organiza-
ion and the concept'of the student-as stressed
n the Voice platform.
Voice claims that the student must make
iimself and his education relevant to the
vorld he lives in. This does not simply mean
hat the Council should pass a high-sounding
,notion on every national issue. It means that
he student recognizes his own membership ,
n a community that extends beyond the
ampus and the single campus governing unit.
This community of students, collectively
rid on individual campuses, has been de-
nanding rights of self-government which seem
o be "self-evident" and "inalienable" but are
;oing to be hard-won if they are won at all.
['hey are not rights due students as members
if individual campus groups. They are rights
-n hn ri rtAn lor s- nis, ter- , .n ..
As a member of such a community, SGC has
the'right to demand from the Regents and the
administration the power which will enable
it to make important decisions on campus and
consider "off-campus" issues as well.
IF, HOWEVER, the Council refuses to con-
sider any issue which is not of immediate
relevance to the University student in the
narrow sense Croysdale has in mind, it is
denying its membership in the wider student
community.
Once it has denied this membership, it has
denied its share in the rights which naturally
belong to the student community and has lost
the vantage point from which it may claim
the authority it ought to exercise on campus.
If SGC admits it is strictly a campus or-
ganization, acting only on and for this campus,
it has no right to demand a voice in policy-
making or other important decisions. It may
beg for such a voice, but if its plea is granted
SGC will mereb3 have received a favor from
the Regents and not a recognition of, an al-
ready existing right. If SGC restricts its sphere
of interest to the campus, it is making the
campus an isolated island in a world of moral
and philosophical crises and if the administra-
tors and Regents of the island choose to run
it as a dictatorship, students have no right to
demand a change unless they can claim to
exercise the same rights as other members of
the student community or the country.
If SGC passes Croysdale's motion it can
settle down to a relaxed year of calendaring
and forget that it is not even consulted on
decisions like formation of the OSA Com-
mittee, the full-year calendar adoption or the
exclusion of women in the quads.
If SGC decides to accept its full responsi-
bility, it has its work cut out for it for the.
remainder of the term. It must demand a
reform of judic procedures, take a stand on'
bias in off-campus housing, express an opinion
in no uncertain terms of the betrayal of the

GALINA VISHNEVSKAYA:
Russia Soprano6
-Misuses Her' Voice
GAIINA VISHNEVSKAYA, leading soprano of the Soviet Union, per-
formed a program of formidable quantity in Hill Auditorium last
night. The soprano presented a beautiful appearance, considerable
stage presence, and a voice of lovely potentiality.
After this it is regrettable that Mme. Vishnevskaya has a'complete
misconception of the kind of voice which she has and produces some
of the poorest vocalism it has been my experience to hear.
Her voice could be very good, it might have the possibility of being
great, if and when the soprano learns how to use it. From her opening
note to the last, she tended to force her voice unnaturally in order to
get the big, operatic sound which she seems to think is best.

HER VOCALISM IS UNEVEN-she ranges from the gutty, chesty
tones of Maria Callas at her worst, to throaty, covered tones having a
hollow sound, and then comes forth with a really beautiful floated tone
that is as pure as one could hope for.
She interprets her songs in an' extroverted and often overdone
manner. She approaches everything in a manner which is operatic, in
the very worst sense of that term.
What might have been the highlight of the concert, Mussorgsky's
"Four Songs and Dances of Death,"' turned into a poorly conceived,
unsubtle interpretation, full of distorted phrases and much ugly sing-
ing.
The tempo taken in Bach's "Mein Glaubiges Herze" was much too
fast for both the singer and her pianist. The choppy, tasteless result
turned a wonderful song into a ridiculous mess.
Leonora's "Abscheulicher" from Beethoven's "Fidelio" is an aria
that only the greatest sopranos can and should sing. It is far beyond
this soprano's present capabilities.
