'IOU CAN KILL all the Jays you want to, but it's a sin to kill a mock.

son his own father's wisdom and summarizes the theme that ties togeth-

It's unfair to kill a mockingbird because all he does is sing to us.

Ivory Tower Administrators
Rule Without Feedback,

THE UNIVERSITY administration, like that
of many other large universities, lacks a
complete set of checks and balances.
Universities are made up of three distinct
components-the faculty, administration and
students-but the administration dominates the
decision-making process. The president and his
corps of vice-presidents have over the course
of years assumed more and more power, part-
ly in an attempt to consolidate and give guid-
ance to a hydra-headed monster-the modern
university.
Power has drifted from the hands of the
faculty and faculty government as the insti-
tutions of higher education have doubled and
redoubled in size. Faculty government. has
turned into a jumble of overlapping and rela-
tively ineffective committees. However, in pure-
ly academic spheres, the faculty has retained
most of its leadership.
WTITH THE SHIFT of power has come-ad..
ministrative inbreeding. When University
President Harlan Hatcher wants to know what
is going on at the University, he calls upon his
vice-presidents to advise him. This communica-
tion is institutionalized at weekly staff meetings
with the president. Complexity and compart-
mentalization have all but destroyed effective
faculty or student rapport with the president.
Opinions of students and individual faculty
members should be a more integral part of the
president's system of checks on the status of
the University but are riot. President Hatcher
admits that his only significant 'contact with
students, for example, are through i Hatcher
teas, teas with foreign students and meetings
with student organization leaders.
The deans' meeting is a way for the president
to meet with faculty and learn their views, but
one faculty memberdescribed President Hatch-
er's role at the meeting as that of a "lecturer"
with no real faculty exchange. /
THE PARTIAL ISOLATION of the president
unfortunately makes the administration's.
evaluation of a University problem decisive.

EPROBLEM: An increasing number of
books required for courses are being placed
on overnight reserve at the Undergraduate
Library, thus forcing students either to read
the material in the library or wait until after
9 p.m., then stay up all night at home to do
the reading. Additionally, restricting the use
of such books to the UGLI results in un-
necessary crowding of the facilities, along with
a lot of noise and distractions that wouldn't
take place if the library were less populated.
Suggestion: The UGLI could set up a system
in which University scholars could check out
the required texts from the building anytime
during the day for a short period-say 12
hours. Not only would this provide much
greater flexibility for study habits (especially
for students who live far from campus) and
perhaps save them some sleepless nights, but
it also might relieve the excessive crowding
which seems to plague the UGLI at certain
hours.
-G. STORCH

The problem of the complex university is
faced by many major institutions. For instance,
Ross,L. Moqney of Ohio State University has
written that "academic power and operational
responsibilities have been progressively divided
and subdivided until the image of the universi-
ty .has an integral community has dissipated,
producing a situation in which the problem of
leadership is bigger than men can solve . .
Neither faculty men nor administrators now
feel that they can take leadership command."
Mooney points out 'that "such power as any
individual or unit possesses is functionally neg-
ative with respect to the whole, fully effective
only in denial or what others may try, destruc-
tive or initiative and integration, self-propelling
into further snarls and splits, productive of
deeper paralysis."
MOONEY'S COMMENTS demonstrate further
why it is so difficult for the students or
the faculty to break down the barriers between
themselves and the administration. The big
question is where are the decisions being made
within the administration.
Even if a faculty or student member of a
university community wanted to differ, with a
given decision, he would probably not know
just whom to approach to get any satisfaction.
Within many institutions of higher education
the inherent complexity of the school is com-
plicated by manufacturer barriers. Top officials
often purposely cloud over the decision making
process on controversial issues, so that any
eventual blame cannot be pin-pointed.. No one
wants to be left holding the bag.
T HERE ARE TWO basic ways in which this is
accomplished: one is by vetoing proposals
and then hushing them up; the second,. more
common and less overt, is the burying of these
ideas for reform in endless committees.
This manufactured complexity is also gen-
erated by the "leadership style" of some college
officials. Some operate with comparative open-
ness and trust.s The faculty-student check can
be effective with these administrators.,
The other style is that of apparent or decep-
tive openness. These are the smooth operators
who on the surface seem to have primary con-
cern for the, individual or issue, but in reality
are more concerned with maintaining an ivory-
tower image of the school or jealously: guard-
ing their personal position within the bureauc-
racy.
N EXAMPLE of this centered around last
spring's controversy over retaining Mrs.
Marion Upgren as a housemother. The Office
of Student Affairs maintains that it wants stu-
dents to assume more responsibility in regulat-
ing their own affairs, but when Mrs. Upgren
openly encourages student decision-making in
the dormitory, the OSA gives this as a reason
for not renewing her contract. Fortunately, the
office reversed its stand.
As head of the university, the president must
make a special effort to seek out faculty and
student criticism of administrative decisions
and to clarify lines of authority. The demands
of his job- will not allow him to turn his office
into a complaint bureau; yet he must find out
whether his staff is performing its functions
properly in the eyes of the entire university
community.
-GAIL EVANS

justice by which the movie comes
to an end.
The homily also gives us a hint
about the tender sense of life-
it's too unsystematic, to be called
a philosophy-that allows this
particular approach to a story that
involves a loving, courageous fath-
er and his two children in the
violence and hate of a decayed,
Faulknerian town.
* * *
THE VIEWPOINT is that of the
two children, and is therefore one
of innocence, and in this case,
even wonder.
In the movie, ;thanks to an un-
expected, but childlike, source the
sense of innocence and wonder is
preserved, despite the hate, mur-
der, and corrupt white man's jus-
tice.
The narrative weaves in and out
of two different but inseparable
worlds: the children's exciting,
dangerous, and vaguely magical
world, and the father's adult world
of law and values maintained
against adult evil.
THE FATHER maintains his
standards of courage and - justice,
but fails to impose them on the
community, which is charged with
passion-and some of the mystery
of the children's world. He defends
the Negro, who is falsely accused'
of rape, on the grounds that the,
Negro should be treated as an'
equal before the law.
He not only fails the Negro, he
endangers his children. They can-
not be saved by their father and
his standards of justice and cour-4
age. Rather something marvelous
happens in the children's world of
innocence beyond law.
The two children are excellent,
but do not overshadow Gregory
Peck's part, which alone would
make a good movie.
The suspense is sustained be-
yond the court scene, for we axe
more 'involved in the children's
world than in Gregory Peck's. With
the denouement, all the previously
dropped clues pull into place, and
at that mdment, we. are ready to
agree that the children's world is
truer.

CIVIC THEATRE:
Good at
Poor'Play
FUNNY characters do not a
funny play make. A small but
highly sympathetic audience dis-
covered this last evening with the
Ann Arbor Civic Theatre's pres-
entation of Philip King's "See
How They Run."
The fault with the play lies
totally with Mr. King. He places
the great brunt of responsibility
for success on the shoulders of
the actors and yet gives them
little or no foundation to stand
upon. The play has several ec-
centric and diverging characters
placed in juxtaposition unknown
to each other.
However, mistaken identity and
funny characters can not stand
togetherina play structure and.
bring in laughter on their own.
There ipust be a very tight, care-
fully constructed plot, and "See
How They Run" does not have
one. The play is too long and
overworked. The running in and
out becomes boring and monoton-
o1s. The confusion of the charac-
ters embarrassing.
* **
HOWEVER the cast struggles
admirably to save some part of
the evening and often succeeds.
Especially effective is Lois Ouel-
lette as the Vicer's wife. Her ex-
huberant and carefree manner
adds greatly to the character of
the former American actress faced
with stuffy English clergymen.
Also excellent is William Stokes
who played the overblown Bishop
to perfection. The performance of
Winnifred Pierce, however, was
not only unconvincing but, quite
distracting throughout the entire
play.,
The direction of Mr. Lovell was
interesting. It suffered only in his
inability to tighten up the action.

SIDELINE ON SGC:
Spring Doldrums

By GLORIA BOWLES
TER A relatively fruitful four
months from the beginning of
the semester up'to vacation, Stu-
dent Government Council has
set led into complacency.
The coming of spring is a uni-
versal excuse for inaction, but in
Council's case lethargy and lack
of interest are the backdrop for
a decline in Council activity.
A group which in the past
months has made concerted efforts
in the area of, student faculty gov-
ernment and anti-discrimination
procedures is now letting these
areas slide, and providing little
follow-through to previous mo-
tions. /
* * *
GOTH AREAS are crucial, and
basic to student action on the
campus. Student-faculty govern-
mient aims at a larger role for the
student in a university where he
is little respected outside the class-
room.
Discrimination procedures and
the Harris report, could mean a
major breakthrough in ridding the
campus of discriminatory member-
ship selection practices, and in
enforcing the Council's anti-
discrimination regulation.
A recognition, too, of, the right
of elected student representatives
to enforce the Council regulation
would do much as an expression of
confidence in the ability of the
student to administer bias proce-
dure responsibly.
* * *
COUNCIL IS to be accused of
lethargy and lack of interest.
Problems are complicated by lack
of experience at the Council table.
Council is inexperienced, and has
been mediocre ever since elections
in March.
Five members have served only
since that election. Major organ-
izations; with the election of new
presidents within the last month,
have seated six green ex-officios.
The last of the new ex-officos, the
Daily editor, will be introduced to
Council on Wednesday.
Of the experienced Council
members, having served for at
least one term, Charles Barnell
has decided not to even come to
Council meetings, and has quit
attending. Russell Epker partici-
pates in Council discussion but

with impending graduation has
lost interest.
OF THE LIBERALS, Gary Gil-.
bar provides a liberal vote, pro-
duces motions occasionally, offers
some comment at the Council
table.
Council lost Kenneth Miller
when the body defeated him for
president. Ironically enough, Mil-
ler would have made an excellent
president, but he is an unethusias-
tic Council member.
Howard Abrams thus finds him-
/self in toe somewhat embarrassing
positio as liberal spokesman. A
Counci veteran who will be with
9GC next fall, Abrams has turned
in a surprisingly good performance
in discussion of student-faculty
government. He is one of the few
liberals providing leadership in this
area.-
The man who is ultimately re-
sponsible for the success of Coun-
cil, and the only member specifi-
cally committed to its #work by
virtue of his office, is Thomas
Brown, Council president. He has
done a commendable job since his
election, and shown personal ini-
tiative in several areas. But lethar-
gic Council has been giving him
little support.
* * *
IN THE AREA of student-
faculty government, Council's per-
formance has been highly disap-
pointing, and perhaps justifies
claims from some quarters that
students are not ready to move
into the policy-making areas of-
the University.
Council met with the Senate
Advisory Committee Monday of
this week: only eightlmembers ap-
peared for the meeting, with 10
absent.
SGC had requested appointment
of students to eight major commit-
tees of the University Senate, yet
few of those who4 supported the
motion in the Council session have
shown any inclination to follow
it through.
Students, in meetings with fac-
ulty, have been clumsy, confused
and inarticulate in discussion.
Only Ralph Kaylan, former chair-
man of the Committee on the
University, has thought seriously
about the plan.
It is amazing that students have
not set up a series of strategy

meetings, and have not generally
made an all-out and concerted
spring effort to promote adoption
of a plan that is so vital to their
role in the University community.
* * *
SGC MEMBERS need to "stick
together to pave the way .for reali-
zation of the student-faculty goal.
They will have an opportunity to
discuss their plan and an alternate
faculty proposal with the Senate's
Student Relations committee on
Monday. Hopefully, they will show
greater preparation and dedication
in this session. A continued lack
of initiative will see the death of.
student-faculty government.
Inaction on discrimination pro-
cedures is in large part due to the
administration. The Harris report,
passed by Council, was given by
Prof. Robert G. Harris to Dean
Allen Smith of the Law School.
Smith also got an "opposition"
letter from sorority lawyers which
was passed to him by President
Hatcher. He's been considering the.
two for over a month. Council,
hoped the Regents would see the
Harris report before the spring is
out. They have only one more
meeting.
Council, then, does have nim-
portant :opportunities for action.
But its members have relaxed con-
siderably and show little serious-
ness in the jobs that voters have
entrusted to them. They do little
beyond attending Council meet-
ings, and show no evidence of hard
thinking and between meeting
work. Up to now it has been a
very lazy spring, which might well
undo the work of a long, hard
winter.
Reduction
D OLLARS OF tax reduction are
almost as powerful a weapon
against mass unemployment as are
increases in dollars of government
expenditure. Such a program may'
involve a larger budget deficit
than would an expenditure pro-
gram; but it also means that there
is expansion of the private rather
than government sector of the.
economic system.

IFC and The, Law


THE RECENT action by the InterFraternity
Council executive committee which levied
fines on seven fraternities for pledging viola-
tions is an interesting example of what passes
for justice. IFC by-laws specifically state that
no fraternity shall pledge and initiate any
man with less than a two-point overall grade
average. Pursuant to this by-law, the frater-
nities in question were fined.
The interesting phase of the whole procedure,
however, was not the action taken, but the
action'not taken. The fraternities were not
directed to depledge or deactivate the ineligible
men in question. In fact, IFC executive vice-
president Richard Mandel, '64, flatly said that
IFC has no power whatever to demand de-
activation of pledges and initiates who are
ineligible.
In other words a fraternity may openly vio-
late the pledge by-laws as long as it has
sufficient funds to pay the fine, and can in
effect pledge whichever man it wants, eligible
or not..
NY OPPORTUNITY of an offender to
simply pay his way around the law without
being forced to undo the illegal act wherever
possible is repugnant to the- tenets of justice
and equal treatment of equal offenses. When
such opportunities for evading the law are
present and exercised outside of the campus
community, the scandal is often great. The
Editorial Staff

matter is no less serious when manifest in one
of the best-known organizations on, campus,
one which is constantly parading as a paragon
of "American ideals."
Any organization which so openly authorizes
what is no less than bribery and which fosters
in its members a feeling that laws can be
violated for a price, has no place on the cam-
pus. The whole episode is an outrage.
-MICHAEL ZWEIG
UNDERGRADUATES are often dismayed at
the large numbers of facts, as well as the
ready-made conclusions to be drawn from these
facts, which they must absorb.
It is a refreshing change for the student who
enrolls in a course in a particular field that
does not have a sacred, long-sealed-off body of
knowledge as its sole content, where present-
day inquiry is significant. A course in this
field can be an intellectually exciting experi-
ence if the professor does not pretend that he
is dealing with a closed body of knowledge-if
he is, in short, willing to tolerate ambiguities,
and accept the student's as well as his own
creative thinking in the classroom.
Such a course is Prof. John Roma's Philos-
ophy 369. Prof. Roma should be commended
for his honesty in presenting the various
theories of aesthetics without feeling compelled,
to pretend that any particular one, or any one
that he may have special leanings toward, is
all-encompassing or has all the questions and
answers. This spirit has been carried over to
the recitation sections, where the students are
