Hatcher Should Furnish
Discrimination Testimony

PRESIDENT HARLAN HATCHER has an-
,nounced that the University will not send
a representative to tonight's open public hear-
ings on the proposed fair housing ordinance
which is now before the Ann Arbor City
Council. In so doing he drowned the hopes
of many people who had, mistakenly though,
thought that he would. In any case, he should.
In a clarification of his previous statement,
he said, "If as the ordiance develops it appears
that a substantial number of University per-
sonnel are affected, or that further testimonial
on the part of the University is indicated, then
we would have a representative present." He


LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
Students Urge Vote
For Fair Housing

Support

SUPPORTERS OF a fair housing ordinance
for Ann Arbor have an excellent chance to
influence its passage. Lacking the excitement
of picketing, the public hearing at the City
Hall tonight is routine, but important and even
more effective than mass demonstraion.
City Council will be seeking public reaction
to the proposed ordinance. It tends to gauge
public opinion by the size and ontent of public
hearings and the final form of the ordiance
depends on tonight s hearing and the one to
follow it.
The current draft ordinance is a hollow shell
of the effective measure that is needed. Its
provisions cover only about 20 or 30 per cent
of Ann Arbor housing and leave many gaps,
especially with multi-unit owners.
Further, substantial groups in the community,
are striving to weaken the ordiance by elimin-
ating its regulation of financial institutions-
often the agents of discrimination. They will
be present, in force, at the hearing.
Thus strong grass-root support of the or-
diance is needed if an effective one is to pass
City Council. Everyone concerned should at-
tend the hearing and make his stand clear.
This may not be as exciting as picketing, but
it is mitch more effective and vital.
-P. SUTIN

added that such a situation has not as yet been
indicated.
In other words the existing ordinance, as
it is being amended, rather than discrimina-
tion, must be what concerns University per-
sonnel before President Hatcher sends a rep-
resentative.
President Hatcher is not taking the initia-
tive. He is passing up a chance for the Uni-
versity to help correct the ills which befall
its students and faculty. He may wait too
long.
WHEN AND IF the fair housing proposal
reaches the stage when it concerns a "sub-
stantial number" of University personnel, the
first and second readings and the first public
hearing willhave passed. All that will remain
in which the University could provide a unified
testimony would be a theoretical second hear-
ing.
President Hatcher's letter to the council
provided clear backing for the idea of fair
housing legislation. Any influence the Uni-
versity exerts, or pretends to exert, through a
stronger statement to the city government' is
resented by the town citizenry.
But, through a suitable representative, Pres-
ident Hatcher can provide a unified presenta-
tion which would help council members formu-
late a fair housing ordinance which in turn
would help remove the discrimination against
University students and personnel.
AT LEAST one council member has said
that additional information from a Univer-
sity representative would be desirable. James M.
Davis, director of the International Center, has
supplied public testimony, similar to what is
desired, to the Human Relations Commission.
Discrimination, and perhaps the fair hous-
ing ordinance in its present form, concerns
University students and faculty, although not
in "substantial" numbers. President Hatcher
should' provide City Council with a unified
presentation of discrimination problems af-
fecting the University community.

To the Editor:
T.HE INTERNATIONAL Students
Association, an organization of
approximately 500 American and
foreign students, has a deep in-
defense of ' fundamental human
terest in human relations and the
rights. For some time the Asso-
ciation has been engaged in work
directed towards the goal o
achieving better understanding
among people of different reli-
gions and racial backgrounds, and
through its experience has come
to realize the inherently evil na-
ture of discriminatory practices
and strongly condemns them.
The numerous petitions, letters,
and representations, some of which
have reached the city and the
University community through the
pages of the newspapers, have
proved beyond a doubt the realiza-
tion by many that discriminatory
prac ices, especially.inyhousing,
are morally and socially wrong.
The mere fact that the City Coun-
cil is discussing the issue now
also proves this.
A solution to the problem of
discriminatory housing in Ann
Arbor is long overdue in view of
the unique situation of the city
in academic and cultural circles.,
The ISA however believes that
action now in the right.direction
by the City Council can help to
rectify this blight on American
Democracy. Such action can be
accomplished only through con-
certed effort on the part of Uni-
versity and Community leaders.
* * *.-
ALTHOUGH foreign students
and visitors have been Inconven-
ienced many times by discrimina-
tory practice in housing, and al-
though Ann Arbor's reputation
throughout the world will be tarn-
ished by unfair housing, both of
which; are important considera-
tions and have been emphasized
enough In many of the state-
ments and petitions circulated, we,
like to believe that the motive be-,
hind the fair housl~ig ordinance
in Ann Arbor is the bellef in the,
right of the individual to equal
treatment.
We are much enthused that the
recent statement by President
Hatcher stresses thisnvery funda-
mental but important point. We
are also appreciative of the efforts
of the Human Relations Board of
Student Government Council in
this area.
We urge that members of City
Councilrcarefully consider the fair
housing ordinance and all the
amendments designed to strength-
en it. We are looking forward to

the passage of an ordiance strong
enough to usher in a new era in
housing in Ann Arbor-an era that
all of us will be proud of.

Fair Housing . .#
To the Editor:
ON MARCH 2, 1963, at the An-
nual Congress of the Federa-
tion of International Students of
the State of Michigan, the dele-
gates of the member universities
adopted a resolution on housing
which stated that
In and around certain cam-
puses' in the State of Michi-
gan there exists housing which
is unsanitary, discriminatory,
unreasonably priced, and gen-
erally inadequate. If the Uni-
versity admits foreign stu-
dents, its has the responsibilty
of making cetista they
will be housed in adequate
sanitary, non-discriminatory,
and reasonably priced hous-
ing.
It is my understanding that
there is currently peiding a bill
before the City Council of the
City of Ann Arbor concerning fair
and non-discriminatory housing.
The Federation of International
Students of the State of Michigan
wholeheartedly supports any ef-
forts designed to lessen or elimin-
ate the repulsive concept of dis-
crimination in housing, both for
foreign students and for Ameri-
can gitizens. We support the bill-
before the Council and President
Hatcher, as the spokesman of the
University, for joining the fight
for equality and justice, currently
being denied to students of the
institution which he hears, by,
making a public statement for the'
bill and against discrimination in
housing.
With the sincere best wishes In
your fight against prejudice and
ignorance on behalf of the fed-
eration.

Feder tion of International
Stude ts of the State of

ALL FOR FREE:
Contemporary Music Festival

By JEFFREY K. CHASE
SAMUEL BUTLER, the 19th
century English author, once,
said, "The only things we really
hate are unfamiliar things." With
this in mind, think of the Ameri-
can attitude - toward twentieth
century musical composition. Per-
haps Butler is not too far from
the truth !
Ann Arbor residents have an ad-
vantage over most other Ameri-
cans, however, because the Uni-
versity music school annually,
since 1960, presents a contem-
porary music festival at which
they can become exposed to some
of the more important contem-
porary works from the interna-
tional scene. And these concerts
are absolutely free!

Each of the five programs com-
prising the festival emphasizes a'
different type of music. The first
program contains band music; the
second, stringfliterature; the third,
chamber music; the fourth, a lec-,
tury by and music of Aaron Cop-
land; the fifth, music for choir
and organ.
FOR MANY people the high
point of the first program will be
-the "Symphonies of Wind In-
struments" by Igor Stravinsky.
This work, written in 1920 ani
revised in 1947, ushered in his
neo-classic period. Concerned with
Apollonian ideals, Stravinsky's
tonal and orchestral canvas tkpi-
fies the clarity of the 18th century.
His characteristic driving rhythm
is not absent.

Subject of Housing

WITH THE impending inception of honors
housing, perhaps it is time to reconsider
the concept of organizing residence hall houses
on the basis of common academic interest.
Basically, subject housing means only that
when a student fills out a resident hall ap-
plication he would select. his housing prefer-
ence on the basis of a house's subject, if he
so wished. There would be no limits on his
selection, though hopefully he would choose
a subject that was outside of his major.
A list of the subjects which houses would
have as their topics for each year would be
contained in the residence hall application
form. The list might include, for example,
language houses, houses on international rela-
tions, psychology, history, philosophy, and per-
haps even engineering, and less "academic"
subjects.
SUCH IS the basis of the plan. What are
its merits? To a great extent they are
the same as those of honors housing. The plan
would help diversify the housing offered by
the University, enabling people who share a
common interest to live near each other. It
would encourage a more academic atmosphere
in the residence halls in two ways: by en-
abling residents to find readily participants
for discussion and debate of a major issue of
their concern, and by creating the realization
that the residence halls are intended to be a
place of academic concern and that such dis-
cussio\ and debate should take place within
them.'No longer would it seem foolish to call
a house meeting to argue the fate of the world,
and no longer would a resident wishing to do
so find it impossible to carry on an intelligent
discussion at meals or during a free moment.
Another great advantage of the plan is that
it would make it much easier to get a faculty
memJler or other academician to visit a house
for dinner or a seminar or just informal dis-
cussion. Though 'this is possible now, it is very
difficult for two reasons which subject housing
would largely eliminate. The first is that it.
Hiss
IT HAS recently become a practice for some
of the students in the Chemistry 106 lec-
tures to hiss the lecturer when something
does not please them. This includes making
this obnoxious sound at the announcement
of tests, and experimental or mathematical
errors of the speaker.
This hissing has not been so apparent in
other courses, as of yet. These actions can be
only a carry-over from high school and shows
the timmaturity of the students. It is time
that these kinds would grow up and give the

is presently very hard to find a subject which
would attract a large enough audience to make
visits of this type possible, and the second is
that even when such arrangements are made,
many who would be interested inattending
are unable to do so.'
Furthermore, it might be hoped that in the
future the resident advisor of a house would
be at least a teaching fellow, if not a professor.
It would be even more helpful if this faculty
member were an expert in. a field which in-
terested all members of the house.
There are two major objections to this pro-
posal. The first is that it would eliminate a
great deal of the diversity which contributes to
the value of residence hall experience. This
viewpoint is not justified, however. Putting
mostly people who are taking French into a
house would eliminate people who are taking
other languages, but this is the only diversity
that would decrease. Surely there is little else
that differentiates those taking French from
others, and this is a small price to pay for
the opportunity to make learning a language
a more vibrant and interesting (and easier)
experience.
WITH OTHER SUBJECTS, the loss of di-
versity would be even less. A psychology
house, for instance, would not contain only
fourth year psych majors, but would be largely
composed of people who only shared an interest
in learning something of psychology, possibility
because ; they did not have the opportunity to
take courses in it, as with engineers, or
because they had not decided on their majors,
and were curious to learn something of the
field.
The second objection which might be posed
is that, aside from languages, there are few
major subjects of sufficient interest to make
them worthy of an entire year's study. The
answer to this is that a house need do only
as much 'as it feels it wants to do. If, after
three or four faculty visits, interest wanes and
continuation of the program no longer seems
worthwhile, nothing has been lost and an
opportunity has been made available which
wouldn't have been there otherwise.
If it is argued that most people are either
not interested or do not have the time to
devote to such a project, it can be argued that
in most cases at least the latter is very unlikely,
and that, at any rate an opportunity is there
for those who do want it that wouldn't have
been otherwise.
Although a few of us would like to spend
all of our time on academics, it may be hoped
that most of us have academic interests which
are not satisfied in the classroom and which
we would be willing to show a little interest
in even when it doesn't pay off in our grades,
and indeed we are in sorry shape if this isn't

TODAY & TOMORROW:
Cheating and .Espionage

By WAITER LIPPMANN
SENATOR ODD has said that
' "there is one supreme ques-
tion which the Senate must ask
about any test ban treaty: Does
it provide reasonable protection
against any cheating by the So-
viets?" This is an important ques-
tion, but it is not the supreme
question.
The supreme question is whether
the United States and the USSR
can agree not to do any more
testing in the hope of changing
the visting balance of power in
nuclear weapons. This would
mean, it is agreed on both sides,
an acceptance of the fact that
while both sides are now capable
of inflicting devastating damage,
the American arsenal is bigger
* * *
THE HOPE of achieving an ab-
solute superiority exists among
some scientists and some military
men.
Such hopes of absolute super-
iority, which neither side will avow
publicly, explain why the public
surface argument against the pro-
posed treaty is what it is-the
Americans talking about cheating

and the Russians talking about
espionage.
The truth is that the Russians
do not really mean that two or
three on-site inspecitions are all
right while seven or eight would
be espionage, which would under-
mine the security of the Soviet
Union. What the Russians mean is
that if they offer fewer inspec-
tions than President Kennedy
thinks he can accept and still get
the treaty ratified, they will have
proved that they want to stop
testing, and they will still be able
to test.
* * *
ON OUR SIDE, the truth is that
Senator Dodd and his mentor, Dr.
Teller, are not primarily concerned
with cheating. The most vocal
critics at the moment in this
country may say they want a fool-
proof treaty. What they really
want is not to stop testing.
For myself, I do not take the
view that they are necessarily
wrong. If they would quit talking
as if they had some kind of su-
perior patriotism, the perfectly,
arguable issue which is not ytt
fully resolved could be discussed.
(c) 1963, The Washington Post Co.

Strictly speaking, "Symphonies
of Wind Instruments" is not a
real symphony because it contains
no movement in sonata form,
Stravinsky is niore at ease with
the free form of the ballet, rather
than the sonata design with its
strict system of repetition, and
therefore prefers to use it most
of the time. This, however, does
not detract from the high quality
of the work.
Stravinsky describes these sym-
phonies as "an austere ritual,
which is unfolded in terms of
short litanies between groups of
homogeneous instruments."
* * *
INGOLF DAHL is one of Ameri-
ca's most versatile and respected
musicians. His orientation is main-
ly toward dissonant free counter-
point in Neo-classic style. His
"Music for BrassiInstruments"
written in 1944, scored for two
trumpets, horn, and two trom-
bones, attains much variety within
its limitations of five voices of
similar timbers. The choral melody
"Christ. Lay in the Bonds of
Death" functions as the cantus
firmus for the opening Fantasy.
Arnold Schoenberg, who died in
1951, is perhaps, remembered pri-
marily' as that man. who wrote
such controversial atonal music.
"Theme. and Variations," Op. 43a'
is a representative of his mature'
style in which he has masterful
command of the technique of var-
iation.
This work consists of a theme,
seven variations, and finale, all
strongly centered in G minor.
Thus, being tonally oriented, this
is an example of one of his more.
accessible pieces.
VITTORIO GIANNINI has com-
bined the lyricism of Verdi and
Puccini with the rhythmic vigor
and orchestral luxuriance of Rich-
ard Strauss. His "Symphony No. 3"
contains four movements. Many
of the themes involve the interval
of the fourth and ,triadic disposi-
tions containing quartal implica-
tions.
William D. Revelli will conduct
the 'U' Symphony Band at this
first concert at 8 p.m. Wednesday,
in Hill Aud.

IRGIT NILSSON, one of opera's
most prominent present-day
sopranos, appeared in Hill Audi-
torium last. night for her second
appearance in Ann Arbor and her
first solo recital. It was an inter-
esting event.
Miss Nilsson possesses a large
and striking voice and is best
known for her singing of Wagner'
and other heroic music. Happily,.
she is abw to scale down her voice
to fit the more limited quantita-
tive demands of the song.
The program began with the
usual "classic" piece -- this time
the well-known "Divimties du
Styx" from Gluck': "Alceste."
"Classic" is too often taken to
mean dull and that was 'he case
here. The pianist, Leo Taubman,
managed to produce some of the.
ugliest piano sound I have heard
In this piece.
* *
AFTER THE WARM-UP, Miss
Nilsson turned to some lovely
songs of Hugo Wolf. It was in
these songs that the soprano dWs-
played her artistry far better than
I have ever heard her before. She
biought reserve and dignity to the
music and was not caught up in
the bad habit of some of our fam-
ous song interpreters who tend to
overdo the intrepretation and sac-
rifice the music.'

EXTRA SERIES:
Nilsson Wolf Song Best

"Anakreons Grab" and "Ken-
nst du das Land" were both sung
beautifully, with quiet intensity.
The spirit of longing in the latter
was very nicely underlined with-
out extravagence or violent ges-
tures. It was wonderful to hear
such a glorious instrument in the
service of this great music.
The first part of the program
closed with three songs by Strauss.
All were well sung, The last,
"Caecilie," is an extremely diffi-
cult song which is not worth the
effort.
* * *
THE SECOND -HALF of the
program was largely made up of
Scandanavian songs. Three songs
by Sibelius opened and were fol-
lowed by three Grieg songs. The
well - known "Jeg elsker dig"
(known in this country usually
in German as "Ich liebe dich")
was nicely sung. "En svane" was
the highlight of this part of the
program. Miss Nilsson not only
sang it with lovely, restrained
tone, but shaped the whole song
beautifully.
Two arias from famous Italian
operas, well performed but not
without effort, closed the program
and brought forth the expected
applause.
