AT SWARTHMORE COLLEGE: Exchange of Views on HUAC MARPH 5, 1961 NIGHT EDITOR: PAT GOLDEN ll- ,7-- ,_ Social Science Courses Need Adult Approach TIME has come for a major revision in e University's social science program. Too, of the elementary courses are "high ,' boring,' or intuitive. What you hear in >logy is contradicted in anthro, is re- in poli sci, is disclaimed in economics, is ed in sociology. asic courses overlap to a terrible degree, g confusion and waste. social sciences are structured differently the natural science. Elementary physics ot overlap chenistry or biology, although higher level Vve find bio-physics and nu- :hemistry. But economics is the base of al science is the base of sociology, is the f anthro is the base... 'H SUC9 overlapping and mutual material t the lower levels, the social sciences i face the possibility of either offering a ), social -science course as a prerequisite her social science courses, or a placement idetermine the social science background student. It is said that Americans are nely poor in such subjects as geography, and others. This test would place out who had a sufficient background and te what should be stressed in the basic Another alternative is to graduate elementary courses. In the natural sciences and mathemat- ics the student is offered a variety of elemen- tary courses and enters one according to his background in the subject. But in the social sciences everyone (excluding Honors who often attend the same lecture) has to take Poli Sci 11, Soc 1, Psych 31, Econ 51. Now not everyone has the same background in these subjects and it 'is stupid and a waste of time and talent on both the faculty's and student's part to under- go these lowest common denominator courses. Entrance to these higher basic courses would be done on a test administered by the Social Sciences jointly. Freshmen are given tests in English, Math and natural sciences, so why ex- clude social sciences? N ADDITION, the Social Sciences ought to work towards a National Social Science Foundation similar to' the National Science Foundation. An organization of this sort could aid in determining weak spots in Social Science education, stimulate research, and act as a co-ordinating body. The possibilities are many and the time to act is now. --HARRY PERLSTADT M OTHER NEWSPAPERS: Jefferson's Political Ambiguity (EDITOR'S NOTE: In response to the statement sent by the Swarth- more College Student Council, Rep. Francis Walter (D-Pa), chairman of the House Committee, sent the following letter on Jan. 3.) Dear Council Members: THE RECENT resolution of your Student Council, which urges abolition of this Committee of Congress, has been called to my attention by one of my Colleagues who has received a copy of your form resolution. On this Commit- tee and in Congress, we have great interest in our young people, who will one day control and possibly govern the destinies of this na- tion, and to whom our liberties will be entrusted, and therefore I am taking the privilege of writ- ing to your association, so that you may have on record our reply to the action you have taken. Quite frankly, neither I, nor the several Members of Congress with whom I have discussed this mat- ter, are surprised to note the re- ceipt of this type of resolution at this time. We have recently re- ceived other communications from student groups, and identified Communist front groups, almost identical in their statements as that which you have forwarded, and which appear to us, in view of this concerted activity, to be the culmination and expression of an organized program, that has come to our attention, to bring pressure upon the Congress to abolish this Committee, inspired by identified Communists, Com- munist front groups, and their fel- low-travellers, who have drawn certain unthinking non-Commu- nists into their web. THE MOVEMENT to abolish this Committee has been spear- headed by Frank Wilkinson, an identified Communist, who, to- gether with certain identified Communists, fellow-travellers and other dupes, have been recently on tour of College campuses and other places for the purpose of in- stigating action against this Com- mittee. For example, a group call- ed the National Committee to Abolish the Un-American Activi- ties Committee was announced in the Communist Press on August 15, 1960, with a mailing address given as 617 North Larchmont Boulevard, Los Angeles 4, Califor- nia, which is the address of the Citizens Committee to Preserve American Freedoms, an organiza- tion previously cited as a Cominu- nist front, and also the major adjunct of the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee, likewise cit- ed as a Communist front. The re- lation between Wilkinson's activi- ty and a Swarthmore group is evident in the attached copy of Page 7 of the National Guardian (of January 2, 1961), a publication previously cited by this Commit- tee as "a virtual propaganda arm of Soviet Russia." In view of this enlivened ac- tivity of Communists and Commu- nist front groups, we feel it is important to call to your atten- tion, and to ask you to examine into, the factual background sur- rounding the adoption of this res- olution, so that you may deter- mine whether or not you have been made the victim of Commu- nist propaganda. We do not say this because we resent disagree- ment with the work of this Com- mittee, for there are very few things in life upon which all peo- ple might agree. We are concern- ed, however, in view of the seri- ous nature and expanded activity of the Communist effort to sub- vert our free institutions, that our people act understandably and ob- jectively before reaching conclu- sions or promulgating such reso- lutions as the instant one, * * * for race of hothouse intellectuals who cannot think unless the tem- perature is exactly at a certain level? What a poor contrast with those famous men of our history, Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, and a host of others, who seemed to think quite effec- tively and with courage even in the face of the absolutist pres- sures of our early history. It is absurd to suggest that, in our free society, essential activity by a Committee of Congress-the elect- ed representatives of a free peo- ple, in the exercise of parliamen- tary government, making, lawful and discreet investigations of mat- ters involving the national secur- ity and our very existence as a nation-would discourage intellec- tual activity of any sort. We fre- quently hear this from some of our uninformed scientific groups, and yet one needs only- to turn to Russia to find that scientific achievements have not beezu dis- couraged even in that oppressive climate. It seems that students do not fully appreciate that the Commu- nist Party is a secret conspiracy that operates through "fronts," a camouflage of apparent lawful ac- tivity, which peddle their treach- ery aimed toward weakening and finally overthrowing our Consti- tutional form of Government. To force and violence, the Commu- nists have added deceitful tactics of brainwashing, so successfully adopted by Hitler, and clearly out- lined in Communist theoretical writings. In this day and age, Congress certainly has the right and duty to inform itself of the extent, character and objects of Communist propaganda. It has a sacred obligation to protect and preserve democratic processes and hence our free society. * * * THE COMMUNISTS would like to close our mouths, to suppress all discussion and understanding of their secret conspiracy, for they realize fully that if understood their, propaganda would be reject- ed by the vast number of Ameri- cans. In an interview with U.S. News & World Report, August 11, 1950, J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion said: "I would never fear Commu- nism in America if all Communists were out in the open, peddling their wares in the market place of free speech and thought. But they are not. We cannot meet them on an even basis. They are working behind the masquerade of hypocrisy. For this reason America must be vigilant to rec- ognize Communism for what it actually is-a malicious evil which would destroy this nation." I am interested in knowing whether your Student Council has acted judiciously or whether it has been made the victim of organized propaganda. Has it studied the facts? Has it heard the pros and cons? We, on this Committee, would be pleased to receive the representatives of your Student Council, or the entire Council, and to explain to them the purposes, methods and operations of this Committee, to give you the factual materials, and to assist you in reaching a fair and unbiased judgment. Do you not think that it would be more judicious to hear both sides of the question before rendering judgment? -Francis E. Walter Chairman IN DECEMBER, 1960, the Swarthmore College Student Council voted to send the following statement to Rep. James Roosevelt (D-California) and the members of the House of Representatives front Pennsylvania, "Whereas we disapprove of the actions of the House Com- mittee on Un-American Activities on the grounds that: 1) The fear of possible committee investigation endangers the process of intellectual inquiry and exchange of those ideas which are made available only through personal association with indi- viduals of diverse and sometimes unpopular opinions; d2) It violates the precept of due process of law by denying the accused the right to face his accuser and allowing for guilt by association; 3) It violates the separation of powers of government as set forth in the constitution by usurping judicial and executive powers; 4) It has not lived up to the original purpose for which it was instituted, that of investigations essential for the initiation of legislation; Whereas modification of the committee to correct for these abuses seems to us unfeasible in view of its members' refusal to accept these criticisms, the Student Council of Swarthmore Col- lege urges the immediate abolition of the House Committee on Un-American Activities," --THE ALBATROSS all this. "I will save you," is what gives him a two week trial. For two long weeks Illia discovers the joys of Aristotle, Mozart, chess and Picasso-but alas! No love. Yet men still adore her and would do anything to save her from the horrors of reform .Ho- mer is doomed! The film reaches its climax when the fleet comes in after twenty-one weeks at sea. Patriotism knows no bounds. TO MAKE A long story short, everyone returns to the wayward path, including Homer. It sounds kind of stupid when you stop to think about, but in the movie, it's all very funny. ,The acting is on the highest level throughout. No one misses a trick; the actors pull laughs out of the air. And what does this prove? Only, that prostitutes are better than ever. First Susie Wong and now this. Illia is high class, no doubt about it. Her favorite play is Medea; she's. seen it fifty times. She thinks it's all very sweet--a lovely show. The audience is in tears, and she's howling with< laughter. As far as she's concern-' ed, Medea was kidding about kill-, ing the kids, and the whole family. went off to the seashore after the show. "Look at the happy side of things." S * * * IN MANY WAYS she is the poor man's Camille-lovely and lively. She likes her work, she likes making men happy, she likes swimming nude with the boys, and the audience likes her. The film doesn't have a serious moment in it; it is a wild catalogue of the virtues of not being virtuous. Let nature take its course, damn the torpedoes and all that. This is a movie to have a good time with. Its purpose is to create laughter, and that it does. -Thomas Kabaker *" to the Eior Which is W''itch ..

FARRELL'S editorial on library policy can be dismissed on grounds of being "a bit emo- tional," as in the words of one recent letter, then the Daily staff might as well resign themselves to expressing ideas which are utter- ly sterile, both in content and form. If "lucid and rational thinking" means compromising the ideals of the institution on any pretense whatever and answering'the chal- lenge of the idealist with the doc- trine of administrative expedien- cy, then I am glad I am a non- rational being. -David Sheldon, "62 Letters to the editor must be ' signed and should be limited to 300 words in length.

She is undoubtedly the most popular and happiest girl in town, loved by all men and respected by her colleagues. No status seeker she, but status she's got. The queen of them all.

If the eulogies are read with an eye' ieir theoretical purport, they associated rson 'with two contrasting, some may say adictory, types of political liberty. One ed from the English legal heritage: the -gish liberty of individual rights. The other )ok strongly of American and French revo- nary ideology: the democratic liberty of ar rule. S JEFFERSON the conservative guardian if the law or the flaming prophet of de- acy? The eulogists gave no clear-cut an- to the question. Nor was one requisite, it was, after all, the fundamental ques- the irresoluble ambiguity, in the American polity. Jefferson could be imagined in either way. He embodied the ambiguity. Repeatedly in his posthumous history lie was to be caught up in the dilemma of a nation committed both to a system of constituted rights and to the sovereignty of the people. While one, eulogist in 1826 defined the fundamental premise of Jefferson's politics as "the people could do no wrong," another viewed him as the model Whig, whose respect for the law and whose aristo- cratic pride of self enabled him to resist the fatal tendency of republican rulers to degener-. ate into "the slaves and victims of that mys- terious fascination, the love of popularity." TWO VIEWS often occurred in one and the same encomium: at one moment Jeffer- son is ready "to hazard all for liberty," at the next moment his passion is "curbed by practi- cal wisdom."' John Tyler named Jefferson "a mighty reformer." "He was born to overturn systems and pull down establishments." The legend of Jefferson's revolutionary overturn in Virginia was already rooted in the mind. Tyler not only attributed to Jeffersonthe abolition of entail and primogeniture, but also said that it had accomplished the destruction of the Vir- ginia aristocracy and the virtual equalization, of landed property.-From "The Jefferson Im- age in the American Mind," by Merrill D. Peterson. Copyright, 1960, by Oxford University Press, Inc., New York. --THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR' DAILY OFFICIAL. BULLETIN ' STUDENT OPINION: Rebuttal to Rep. Walter TODAY AND TOMORROW The Sick Economy By WALTER LIPPMANN IERE IS as yet no evidence, unless it be n the behavior of the stock market, that re- ery from the recession is underway or in t. Unemployment is continuing to increase, 1 is operating at half capacity, the automo- business is very poor. All in all there is a ring disposition to ask whether the ex- nely moderate measures proposed by the sident will be sufficient to turn the tide. he' President's task force, which was headed Professor Paul Samuelson, the President of American Economic Association, advised Kennedy in January that the first mea- s might not be adequate, and that if the irn did not come by April, stronger mea- es would be needed. 1OFESSOR Samuelson does not hold any public office. But in many ways he is the n1omist to whom the Administration econo- ts listen most closely. He has Just written an cle for a Japanese newspaper the "Nihon zai Shimbun." The article discusses the nedy program as it has been formulated date. Professor Samuelson thinks that "when come to add up in quantitative terms what whole package of programs can be ex- ted to accomplish, yourealize how limited total package really is." e rofessor Samuelson does not say this in icism of the Administration program. As natter of fact the current Administration gram is about what his task force recom- ided last January before the President was ugurated. But the advice at the time was ompanied by the warning, which President inedy himself passed on to the country, that the first measures might have to be rein- forced by a second set. It is a fair inference from Professor Samuel- son's article in the Japanese newspaper that he is now rather expecting that a supplement- ary package will be needed. HESE ideas stem from the belief that the present recession, following upon a poor recovery from the recession of 1958, and com- ing at the end of several years of sluggish eco- nomic activity, is much more serious than Con- gress or the mass of the people who are not unemployed have yet realized. "It is well," says Professor Samuelson, "to have no illu- sions about the magnitude of the proposed (Kennedy) measures." Even, he says, if the economy begins to turn up by the middle of the year, "there is little reason to think that the end of the year will find us with unemployment much better than at the present time." What is more, a quickening of economic growth to the Ameri- can average of 3%/Z to 4 percent, "will have to wait until the second and third years of Presi- dent Kennedy's term of office." I WOULD SUGGEST that you make an inquiry of the circum- stances surrounding the presenta- tion and adoption of this resolu- tion. Who offered the resolution?' Who inspired it? What is the ulti- mate source of raising the issue? What facts did your Student Council investigate before reach- ing the conclusion that this Com- mittee should be abolished? Have you made a study of our hearings, documents and legislative activi- ty? Have you made a detailed and objective analysis of the work of the Committee? Did your Student Council merely act the role of the parrot by repeating that which you had been given or suggested to it? It would serve no useful pur- pose for me at this time to set forth and discuss the generalities of the resolution. There is a com- plete absence of factual statement, and the resolution displays a woe- ful ignorance of the functions of this Committee and the Legisla- tive Branch of the Government. As a matter of fact, your resolu- tion points up the growing but dangerous tendency in American life toward unthinking judgments by inspired group action without discriminative individual or even group analysis. We see evidence of an attempt, by forces in the shad- ows of American life, to create a parrot society, and a system of thought control among students . rhinh in+the nrd could1destroy (EDITOR'S NOTE: A letter to the editor of the Swarthmore College newspaper follows, in which David Gelber, a Swarthmore student, pre- sents a rebuttal to Rep. Walter's letter.) To the Editor: MR. WALTER protests the Swarthmore petition for the abolition of the HUAC on three, grounds: 1) The Swarthmore College stu- dent council may not have done a thorough enough job in garnering information favorable to the com- mittee and as a result may be the unwitting dupe of a malignant, conspiratorial force. Walter notes the connection between the Swarthmore student council and the conspiracy on the basis of an article in the National Guardian. 2) The Swarthmore movement to abolish the committee "points up the growing but dangerous tendency in American life . . . to create a parrot society, and a sys- tem of thought control among stu- dents which .. . could destroy or at least weaken (our democracy) to a degree where it can be the prey of any ... itinerant and mor- bid philosophy." 3) We, as students, have failed to understand that the Commu- nists act through the "apparently legal but treacherous means to weaken and destroy our constitu- tional form of government." * * * , THESE ARE MR. Walter's ar- guments; now let us examine them a little more closely. It may be true, as Mr. Walter says, that some who oppose the committee do so out of ignorance of his side (par- enthetically, we would guess that many more support or passively tolerate the committee without ever having fully heard the dis- senting argument); but this is a rather ui'interesting point since uninformed opinionated people are inherent in any debate of sig- nificance. Surely though, Mr. Wal- ter is on highly tenuous ground if he ascribes to all of his detrac- tors an ignorance of the commit- tee's aims and methods. Aside from the fact that such an indictment would include such PnefPnr. Anzatns as umthe Wah- also oppose the committee. Mr. Walter has supported the civil rights movement in Congress; the Communists have also stated their belief in integration. Has Mr. Wal- ter been taken in by the Commu- nists simply because both have supported a cause which comes far from undermining the foun- dations of our state? We think not. THERE IS NO LAW in the Unit- ed States of America which pro- hibits an admitted Communist from fully expressing his politi- cal views provided that the views do not present a "clear and pres- ent danger" to the survival of the state; in fact the right of a Communist to hold political views is protected by the First Amend- ment to the Constitution. The ef- fect of the stigma placed by the HUAC on all movements support- ed by Communists would make it ridiculously easy for the Reds to throttle any liberal reform move- ment by simply joining it. It is this argumentum ad ho- minem evasion of the issues which has effectively stifled the expres- sion of varying shades of political belief in this country and has promoted the growth of a "parrot society" which Mr. Walter wishes to avoid. If the Committee on 'Un-American Activities is per- mitted to follow its unbridled' course, scornfully violating sacred rights guaranteed by the Consti- tution and traditional procedures of government we deeply fear that our society is in danger of los- ing the distinctive characteristics which we are now willing to de- fend. -David Gelber, '63 e !

THESE ARE hard judgments of a cool and expert mind. They will be unwelcome to many. They will be unwelcome to those who take the view that with words of confidence and optimism a recession like this one can be talked away, and that the somber truths should be glossed over and suppressed. The more inno- cent among them go so far as to say that this recession and this slowdown are being pro- longed, indeed made worse, because the Ken- nedy administration 'is telling the country that the economy is very sick.
