THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1963 NIGHT EDITOR: MARJORIE BRAHMS EXCELLENT: Syphony Band Plays Contemporary Music THE SCHOOL of Music's Third Festival of Contemporary Music began brilliantly last night with a concert by the Symphony Band under the direction of William D. Revelli. The evening was foreshadowed in the first few minutes. The end of the first movement of Ingolf Dahl's "Music for Brass Instru- ments," emerged from a maze of more or less conventional dissonance Blue-Ribbon Cooks Spoil Education Broth 0o MANY COOKS are going to spoil co- ordinated state-wide higher education. Certainly, there is an urgent need to come up with some answers to the problem of a doubled enrollment by 1965-just two years away, but a muddle of 50 citizens, 10 college and uni- versity presidents, a superintendent of public instruction, a voluntary co-ordinating council, the governor, and eight State Board of Edu- cation members who will be stirring up trouble if the proposed state constitution passes on April 1, is not going to do it. The fact that twice as many youngsters are going to be knocking on the doors of Michi- gan's colleges and universities in the next few years comes as no surprise to the institutions of higher education. They have been warning the Legislature for years that austerity budgets like this year's University appropriation will not prepare the existing centers for the deluge. But as per usual the politicians and the legis- lators are about five years behind the univer- sities in considering the implications of the baby boom on higher education. NOW THAT the problem is imminent, the Lansing pseudo-education specialists are whipping up a citizens' "blue-ribbon" commit- tee on higher education and have dreamed up a new co-ordinating function for the proposed enlarged State Board of Education, both de- signed to provide both solutions and assistance. What the schools really need is money, not advice. Since the institutions have been presented with study groups rather than money, it is fortunate that educators were consulted on the formation and functions of these bodies. However, for two basic reasons, college ad- ministrators had little choice in backing the new groups: in the first place, they must try anything simply to effect a solution to the education problem; and in the second place, they must co-operate with the whims of the party in power, if they hope to get sufficient appropriations in years to come. The charge to Romney's "blue-ribbon" com- inittee includes studies to determine the state's responsibilities to higher education, priorities and procedures for expanding higher educa- tion, admissions policies of the various state institutions, tuition levels and additional ways to finance educational expansion. After the committee's studies are concluded, all it can do is recommend that certain steps be taken. The 10 schools and the Legislature would have to approve any "master-plan" for state-wide education the group were to propose. CERTAINLY, this is the wrong approach to solving higher education problems. Citizens don't have the necessary knowledge to work out a plan which will satisfy both the taxpayers and the schools, and there are to be no educators on this citizens' committee. Representatives from the colleges and uni- versities will act as advisors to the committee, but it will take a vast amount of time to brief the group on the status of admissions demand, enrollment, facilities, and expansion possibilities of each of the 10 schools. The irony is that if the educators know all the needs and capabilities, why don't they just sit down among themselves and plan pro- cedures to accommodate the additional stu- dents? Some would like to try. THE MICHIGAN Co-ordinating Council for Public Higher Education, a group of all the state college presidents and members of their governing boards, is a voluntary group of educators supposedly assembled to discuss the problem of co-ordinating education in the state. This group-the brain-trust of Michigan edu-' cation-is certainly the most capable unit to come up with quick, feasible means to prepare for the educational needs of the future. As Regent Eugene B. Power, chairman of the council, has maintained, "The requirements of state-wide education have been studied to death." Many of these studies have been car- ried out by the universities and colleges them- selves, making these institutions the obvious mechanisms for co-ordinating educational fa- cilities. NOT ALL of the college president agree that voluntary co-ordination is the' answer. Northern Michigan University President Edgar L. Harden declared last week that attempts to achieve voluntary co-ordination among the state's colleges and universities have failed, leaving the state's higher education system in a "state of near anarchy." Following the Co-ordinating Council's failure to act in any constructive way on the Delta College issue last week, it might appear that Harden was right. The University brought its joint plan to create a four-year degree-granting branch college at Delta to the council for its con- sideration and suggestions. The only action which the body would take was to refer the question to the new "blue- ribbon" comittee. The council did not approve, disapprove or amend the branch plan. Under the surface of this non-committal meeting, there was latent hostility between some of the schools and the University, based on selfish, institutional interests. \rx I x11 I,[ . ..

This semester one of the introductory, distribution courses, political science 140, has come to grips with the problem of the dis- cipline-behavioralism. Well. not exactly come to grips, but the new text, Patterns in Government, does have several chapters devoted to a discussion of how scientific is political science. And the sub- sequent examination of European governments is apparently made with these points in mind. Previously behavioralism was something which was more or less heresy for under- graduates, let alone people taking political science for distribution. But the possibility of scientific methods in political science is, perhaps; one of the greatest intellectual chal- lenges the discipline can offer. By exposing the underclassmen and undergraduates to be- havioralism, political science might retain those who now are driven into sociology or social- psychology because they cannot investigate political phenomena from a behavioralist stand- point. Hopefully the seeds of a stronger and more progressive department have been sown. . S V .l v s i ,, r a a The Lesson THE LEGISLATURE has given the state a lesson on what Gov. George Romney's "lib- eralism" means. Two bills with a liberal hue have moved through the legislative mill in form, but not in substance. Both failed to sur- vive during the Williams and Swainson regimes and were promised by Romney in last fall's election campaign. The enabling legislation for Michigan to par- ticipate in the aid to dependent' children of unemployed fathers (ADC-U) had failed to pass for three years. Yet it sailed through the Legislature and onto the governor's desk. But it restricts coverage to those who worked less than 32 hours in two weeks and discriminates against the children of many unemployed fath- ers. The federal government saw through the shell and refused to accept the weak and use- less bill. Meanwhile the Senate Labor Committee re- ported out its first state minimum wage bill. But it does not cover those that need it. The grossly underpaid retail store employes, migrant farm workers and domestics, receiving far under the $1.15 minimum, are not covered. Thus Romney liberalism is shown for what it is a hollow, showy shell with no substance. -P. SUTIN POWER IMMEDIATELY charged that the group had "abrograted its responsibilities" because it had failed to make any positive recommendations. Later, Power partially exon- erated the body because he said it lacked proper procedures and experience to handle such a problem. University President Harlan Hatcher added Tuesday that the Co-ordinating Council is primarily a discussion group. Certainly there is no other body in the state now which has had more experience in at- tempting to co-ordinate the state's educational facilities. The council does have the procedures to handle specific issues such as the Delta branch: this is the same group which adopted a recommended state-widegspeaker policy this fall. And if it does lack any procedural points, why doesn't it take steps to incorporate new methods to attack specific issues? Even taking into account these criticisms of the Co-ordinating Council's recent lack of ac- tion on the Delta question, voluntary co- ordination is not dead. ROMNEY SEES his "blue-ribbon" committee and the proposed enlarged state board as ways to get around this problem of institutional competition, by injecting the impartial citizen into the soup. However, if the educated elite, represented by the college and university presidents, and trustees, cannot agree among themselves what is best for education in the state, they cer- tainly are not going to let uninformed citizens tell them how to co-ordinate their facilities. The proposed state board is another obstacle to voluntary co-ordination and institutional autonomy. If the new constitution passes, the colleges and universities will have to present their appropriations requests to the board be- fore going to the Legislature, giving the board significant power in enforcing co-ordination -1 -_ .. _4... i.. Y .. w n .ir.i a mrif h rl (EDITOR'S NOTE: As Prof. Coop- errider suggests, the text of The Daily code of ethics appears below.) To the Editor: AS YOU KNOW, the Student Government Council's request that the Board in Control of Stu- dent Publications reconsider The Daily code of ethics rule that "no editorial shall take sides in an election to the Board of Regents" will be considered by the board at its next meeting. I have no desire to debate the issue prior to that time. Your Sunday editorial, how- ever, is subject to three comments which, I emphasize, are ,merely expressions of personal opinion on my part. First, in the interest of accuracy -your description of the situa- tion in these terms, that "the board does not grant total free- dom of opinion to the students," is quite devoid of meaning. The board obviously neither "grants" nor withholds "freedom of opin- ion" to any person. The rule in question neither proscribes opin- ion nor prohibits its expression. It merely provides that the col- umns of this newspaper shall not be used to support or oppose a regental candidacy. Second, you apparently do not appreciate the relationship be- tween the University and The Daily. This is not a situation of interference by an outsider. Nor is it a case of "society" imposing restrictions upon the press, as you seem to suggest. It is, rather, that the University, in the person of the board; owns this newspaper; the regulations which it requires the student editors to observe are merely the conditions under which it consents to the use of its fa- cilities by the student editors-the terms of the loan, if you will. Your observation is accurate, that this principle could be the basis for more extensive restrictions upon the content of the newspaper than those now in effect. The fact that it has not been so used is evidence of the liberality of the board's basic attitudes, rather than the contrary. Third, while asserting that The Daily is "remarkably unfettered in its journalistic endeavors." you manage in the same editorial to imply that the student editors are nevertheless heavily burdened with limitations. At the beginning of your editorial you remark that "freedom is denied in several im- portant ways"; at the end you as- sert that "in every area but one (The Daily's) staff members are free to select and reject ideas in public"; in the middle you imply that the code of ethics is a col- lection of unjustified inhibitions upon freedom of expression which has been only slightly liberalized after years of student pressure Your readers must have experienc- ed some difficulty in following this argument. They cannot, of course, evaluate your assertions because they are not generally informed as to the content of the code of ethics. Why don't you publish it, Mr. Editor, and let them judge for themselves the merits of your implications. -Prof. Luke K. Cooperrider the authorization of the Univer- sity, The Daily must have at heart the interests of the University and refrain from such unwarranted ac- tion as may compromise the Uni- versity in the eyes of the public. The position of The Daily as a representative of a free press shall be preserved and prompted by the editors through responsible and considered use of their duties and powers. The editorial page of The Daily shall be open to all points of view. Intelligent editorial expres- sion by all members of the staff shall be encouraged and means provided for comment by the pub- lic. Freedom of expression ground- ed on fact shall be the editorial policy of The Daily. All material on the editorial page shall be signed by the writer. Anything published in either the news or editorial columns shall conform to a standard of good taste commensurate with The Daily's place as a leader in the field of college journalism. The following list of operating principles shall be used as a guide to the specific implementation of the above code. Both the code and the list of operating principles were revised by The Daily staff of 1963 and approved by the Board in Control of Student Publica- tions. I. EDITORIAL PAGE A. Criteria for publication of editorials shall include good taste, good writing, logical thinking and regard for the facts. B. No editorials shall embrace personal attack on the characters of individuals. C. No editorial shall take sides in elections to the Board of Re- gents. D. Before editorials discussing state appropriations to the Uni- versity are published, the editor shall consult the chairman of the Board in Control of Student Pub- lications or, in his absence, secretary. the to a simple dominant seventh chord, which is about as common- place a sound as there is. Yet, DahI had so isolated that chord from its normal context that it came as a great shock. It was one of the finest movements in the entire composition. The Theme and Variations, Opus 43a, by Arnold Schoenberg likewise provides at the outset a shock, by starting off in appar- ently normal harmony. THE AUTHOR of the program notes shrewdly left up guessing at the obvious question-whether or not the composition was built up from a twelve-tone row or rows. Inevitably, the music veered away from the conventions sug- gested at the beginning; but the deflection was caused, not merely by "wrong notes" (which is the easy way to parody convention), rather by Schoenberg's wild and untameable instinct for counter- point. The unpredictable complications within the ensemble reminded me of the terrors which Melville en- visaged beneath the placid sur- face of the sea., Stravinsky's "Symphonies of Wind Instruments," is reminescent of some extraordinary phenome- non of light. Not that there is anything etherial about the "Sym- phonies." * * * EVEN THOUGH the audience responded rather cautiously last night, I should think that few will soon forget that music. The performance was exception- al. I do not dare to single out any individual player for special praise. Last night's concert should rank among the most impressive achievements of the band and William D. Reveilli. -David A. Sutherland TV TAPE: Bad 'Folk' LAST NIGHT in the Michigan Union Ballroom ABC Television put on a TV folk show that will be video-taped for a series en- titled "Hootenanny." This show, played before a stu- dent audience, featured the Lime- liters, Bud and Travis, Josh White, the New Lost City Ramblers, Bon- nie Dobson, Elaine Stewart and Bob Gibson. The evaluation that a person might place on the performances would depend on individual taste. As a commercial show, designed to appeal to a mass audience, it was fair. As a show designed to reach the college mass audience, it was ex- cellent. As folk music, it stunk. The producers of the show start- ed the ball rolling by refusing to let the New Lost City Ramblers, a talented trio of ethnic stylists, choose their own songs. The pro- ducers felt that their material sounded too much like "hillbilly" music, which wasn't the right sound for a folk music show. Josh White was able to dis- play his ability to handle the blues idiom with a gutty rendition of "Nobody Knows You," and Bonnie Dobson did a beautiful lyric ver- sion of "She's Like a Swallow." Perhaps t h e TV producers are right. Maybe the 1 average American does have an idiot men- tality and taste to match. The show starts on April sixth. How- ever, if you like folk music rather than commercial crap, you'll do better by going down to the Mid- way Lunch to hear Washboard Willie. -Howard Abrams Standards (EDITOR'S NOTE: The following Is an excerpt from the American Society of Newspaper Editors Cr- teria of a Good Newspaper, its guide to quality and ethical responsibl- ity.) A good newspaper prints the im- portant news and provides the in- formation, comment, and guidance that is most useful to its readers. Its editorial comment pro- vides an informed opinion on mat- ters of vital concern to its readers. By reflecting the total image of its own community in its news coverage and by providing wise counsel in its editorials, a good newspaper becomes a public con- science. Finally, a good newspaper should be guided in the publication of all material by a concern for truth, the hallmark of freedom, by a con- cern for human decency- and hu- man betterment, and by a respect for the accepted standards of its own community. A good newspaper may judge its own performance-and be judged -by the criteria that follow. Integrity The newspaper shall: -Maintain vigorous standards of honesty and fair play in the selection and editing of its content as well as in all relations with news sources and the public. -Deal dispassionately with con- troversial subjects and treat dis- puted issues with impartiality. -Practice humility and toler- ance in the face of honest con- flicting opinions or disagreement. -Provide a forum for the ex- change of pertinent comment and criticism, especially if it is in con- flict with the newspaper's editor- ial point of view. -Label its own editorial views or expressions of opinion. Responsibility The newspaper shall: -Use mature and considered judgment in the public interest at all times. -Select, edit, and display news on the basis of its significance and its genuine usefulness to the public. -Edit news affecting public morals with candor and good taste and avoid an imbalance of sensa- tional, preponderantly negative, or merely trivial news. -Accent when possible a rea- sonable amount of news which il- lustrates the values of compas- sion,rself-sacrifice, heroism, good citizenship, and patriotism. --Clearly define sources of news, and tell the reader when compe- tent sources cannot be identified. -Respect rights of privacy. -Instruct its staff members to conduct themselves with dignity and decorum. Leadership The newspaper shall: -Act with courage in serving the public. -Stimulate and vigorously sup- port public officials, private groups, and individuals in cru- sades and campaigns to increase the good works and eliminate the bad in the community -Help to protect all rights and privileges guaranteed by law. -Serve as a constructive critic of government at all levels, pro- vide leadership for necessary re- forms or innovations, and expose any misfeasance in office or any misuse of public power. -Oppose demagogues and other selfish and unwholesome interests regardless of their size or influ- ence. II. GENERAL A. Good Taste 1. Sex crimes, suicides, or viol- lent crimes may be reported if in the public interest to do so. 2. Items of a pornographic na- ture shall have no place in The Daily. 3. No writer shall express ra- cial or religious bias in any story, or editorial, nor shall there be any racial or religious bias in advertising. B. Operational 1. Crimes involving members of the faculty or students shall not be reported without first notifying the proper University authorities when- ever possible, except as such crimes are a matter of court record. 2. Members of the staff shall at all times be encouraged to take advantage of the facili- ties of the University and the broad experience of faculty members in writing articles of a comprehensive, interpretive nature. 3. The news columns of The Daily shall be open to campus news of legitimate interest and shall afford all campus organizations news space within the confines of good journalistic practice. 4. All interviews with faculty shall be checked with the in- terviewee, either personally or by phone, before they are pub- lished unless the writer is specifically excused by the in- terviewee. 5. Names of busines establish- ments (local or out-of-town), industries, firms, or brand names shall not appear in The Daily news or editorial col- umns unless their news value is of sufficient significance to justify their publication. ..... a+. ......... ....,.. . . . .......w ... . . . .hi..{.,. ............ ..........-:,: ...
