International Center Curbs
Foreign Student Action

AN AMERICAN student wants to demon-
trate peacefully for any cause, there is no
stitutionally valid way to stop him'. He may
arrested, as in the Southern sit-in cases;
may be physically removed from the area,
n the HUAC demonstrations, but his es-
ial. right to demonstrate is secure. He has
entire First Amendment to back him up,
ranteeing him freedom of speech, press, and
ceable assembly.
the foreign student wishes to protest some
on or support some organization, he. has
such safeguard. In fact, he has a specific
, Sec. 241 (1) of' the Immigration and,Na-
ality Act which specifically threatens de-
ation to any foreign student publicly in-
ed with issues which are or may be con-
ed to be tending ,towards totalitarianism-
munism, fascism and anarchy specifically.
his includes all aliens who are "members
r affiliated with. . . any such (totalitarian)
anization . . . its direct predecessors or
:essors," all aliens "who write or publish
rho knowingly circulate, distribute, print, or
lay ... any written or printed material
ocating or teaching the overthrow of the
ernment by force, violence, or other un-
stitutional means."
NCE FOREIGN STUDENTS are both, an
active and a politically aware group, this
has entangled both the University's Inter-'
onal Center and international student ad-,
istration units across the country in some
Y touchy situations.
his year, several foreign, students wanted
;o with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee
a trip to Cuba to study conditions there.
center duly warned its students that this
h be construed as politically unacceptable
the immigration department.
a an other case, Davis took it upon himself'
warn foreign students not to involve them-
es with the demonstrations in front of
roit's Belgian. Consulate protesting Lumum-
death. There was no governmental warn-
in either case.
THESE , VERY delicate situations, the
nternational center has reacted like an
'ich in a sandstorm-hiding its head in the
d and leaving 'its tail in the wind.
i one context, center officials will wash
ir hands completely of the law-"whether
not we approve of the act,, we have to pro.
our students by warning them of the
sible consequences of their action," Robert
ager, chief counselor. at the center said.
e the emphasis is all on protection, of
h the student and the center-"we think it
etter to keep kids out of trouble than to
them out once they've gotten themselves
too deep,' James Davis, the, director de-
ed.
I this context, it is interesting to note that

nothing has happened to the students who ig-
nored the warnings and went anyway. The law
just hangs over the heads of administrators
and students alike-like a capricious damo-
clean sword, that may fall at any moment.
AT THE ROOTS of the problem, however, a
much more significant attitude -is involved.
The Center as an internationally known in-
stitution has a good deal of political punch.
Davis, in his triple role as dlirector, of the
center, president of the National Foteign Stu-
dent Advisors, and a member of a Kennedy
task force on an "exchange of persons" study,
could be politically more effective. Between the
institution and the man a tremendous amount
of pressure could be applied to modifying and
basically rewriting this bill to include some
of the basic human rights to which foreign
students are entitled.
This has never been done, and the center's
"protection" plea 'doesn't protect it very much.
The essential point is that neither Davis or
.flinger really disapprove of the law. Klinger
personally defends the law, and Davis does
not believe in mass action on the part of
(foreign students. Demonstrations, he said, "are
put on only to get publicity for an idea . .
they are conducted in a way that smacks of
mob action.
FOLLOWING HIS OWN idea that political
non-involvement is "the first principle of
etiquette for being a foreign student," Davis
will take no action against this act.
The NAFSA has gone on record against'
certain law governing aliens--they are trying
to -get the act requiring the fingerprinting of
every foreign student revoked--a minor point
compared with issues like freedom of speech
and demonstration, but ones which proves that
this organization can take a reasonably effec-
tive stand.
If Davis so desired, he could see that modifi-
cation of this law was at least considered. The
center could warn a student embarking on a
governmentally questionable action' of the pos-
sible consequences, assuring him at the same
time, that if he was to be made a test case for
Sec. 241 (a) that they would back him to the
Supreme Court. They could offer to protect
his rights as well as his safety. The fact is,
they don't want to. 3
ONE WONDERS JUST who the center is pro-
tecting with its fussy mother hen attitude
towards foreign students taking political action.
It is certainly not protecting the students
by subjecting them to a law which asks them
to, check their views (ate least the politically
expressible ones) at the entryway, where they
can be 'picked, up, perhaps slightly tarnished,
on the way out.

stitute of Public Administration.)
By FRED STEINGOLD
UNTIL RECENTLY, the rules
governing the real estate busi-
ness were an unlikely source of
public controversy.
Little objection was voiced when
the Michigan Corporation and
Securities Commission first re-
quired brokers and salesmen to
promptly submit to sellers the
written offers of buyers (Rule
Two).
No full-page ads protested the
requirement that brokers and
salesmen must place their clients'
deposits in a special bank account
(Rule Five).
But the legal and political
sparks"started flying when real es-
tate agents were barred from han-
dling listings which discriminate
against persons because of race,
color, religion, national origin or
ancestry (Rule Nine).
Temporarily suspended by a
circuit court order, the controver-
sial rule faces a legal battle which
may end up in the United States
Supreme Court. And even if the
rule emerges intact, it may still
be shot down by a hostile state
legislature.
* * *
RULE NINE was promulgated
after the Michigan Corporation
and Securities Commission--which
licenses all brokers and salesmen
--investigated the now famous
Grosse Pointe "point system" and
other discriminatory practices.
Theoretically, Rule Nine is just
one more regulation of a publicly-
licensed business.
The statute empowering the
Commission to license realtors' pro-
vides for revoking or suspending
the license for such things as
s u b s t a n t i al misrepresenta-
tion, making false promises to
induce a sale, or any conduct
constituting "unfair dealing."
What is "uinfair dealing?" The
statute doesn't say. Acting on the
assumption that the legislature
intended the Commission to de-
fine "unfair dealing," the Com-
mission over the years has formu-
lated rules and regulations.
WHEN IN 1947 one realtor balk-
ed at the Commission's supposed
rule-making powers, the Michi-
gan Supreme Court settled the
matter in favor of the Commis-
sion.
Speaking for the court, Justice
Sharpe said:
"It would be quite impossible
for the legislature to enumerate
all the specific acts which would
constitute dishonest or unfair
dealing on the part of those en-
gaged in the sale of real estate.
"The act authorizes the Com-
mission to enumerate additional
grounds of dishonest or unfair
dealing and to make rules in har-
mony with the subject matter leg-
islated upon."

Rule Nine
(By authority of Act No. 306
C11 9451.201 et seq.)
9. A broker or salesman, act-
ing individually or jointly with
others, shall not sell or offer
for sale, or buy or offer to buy,
or to receive an offer to sell or
buy, or to appraise, or to list
or to negotiate the purchase,
sale, exchange or mortgage of
real estate, or to negotiate for
the construction of buildings
thereon, or to lease or offer for
lease, or to rent or offer for
rent, anyreal estate or the
improvements thereon, or any
other service performed as
broker or salesman, because of
the race, color, religion, na-
tional origin or ancestry of
any person or persons.
A broker or salesman, acting
individually or jointly with
others shall not refuse to sell
or offer to sell, or to buy or
offer to buy, or to receive and
offer to sell or to buy, or to
receive an offer to sell or to
buy, or to lease or offerto,
lease, or to negotiate the pur-
chase,, sale or exchange of a
business, business opportunity,
or the good will of an existing
business, or any other service
performed as broker or sales-
man, because of the race, color,
religion, national origin or an-
cestry of any person or persons.
So you can argue that in Ruie
Nine the Commission merely
spells out another instance of "un-
fair dealing," which can lead to
revocation of a realtor's license. If
the case were that simple, the
opponents of the rule' wouldn't
stand much chance of 'having it
judicially reversed. ,
But the case isn't that simple.
Unlike the other regulations, Rule
Nine gets into the delicate area of
private property rights.
** *
PROF. PAUL KAUPER of the
Law School puts the issue in focus'
this way:
"While Rule Nine is addressed
as a rule against real estate brok-
ers, it would be naive to assume
it wouldn't affect property own-
ers. These days, most people dis-
pose of property by means, of
brokers.
"The legal aspects of the rule
must be viewed in terms of the
practical impact of the rule in lim-
iting the freedom of property
owners to dispose of their proper-
ty in so far as their broker can't
be bound ,by - discriminatory in-
structions."
Undoubtedly, the adverse effect
of the rule on those owners of,
property who wish to discriminate
will be weighed by the court in
deciding the validity of Rule
Nine.
The court will also weigh the
positive effect of the rule on two
other economic groups:
1) Those home owners who
would like to sell on an

2)

ON THE OTHER hand, you can
argue that regulatory agencies
like the Michigan Corporation and
Securities Commission are intend-
ed to promote the public interest.
And that, insuring equal oppor-
tunity to obtain decent housing is
in the best interest of the public.
In recent years, the courts have
often permitted encroachments
upon private property rights when
an overriding human right de-
manded it.
Whatever political judgment you
make as to the desirability of this
trend, you must still recognize that
courts are constantly narrowing
the concept of what constitutes'
an inalienable property right.
In determining whether the
Commission acted within its le-
gal bounds in passing Rule Nine,
the court will likely take into ac-
count this changing nature of pri-
vate property.
Some indication of the Michi-
gan Supreme Court's receptiveness
to public considerations was giv-
en in 1957 when in another case
involving the Commission, the
court said:.
"It is to be hoped by all that the
passage of time will see a continu-
ous progressive evolution in our
standards of, morality, of conduct,
and of performance of duty, in all!
of' these tangibles going to make
up what we- call ethics, proprie-
ties, or- public policy.
"'There can be no question but
that successive public officials
have the power to impose ever-
higher standards upon the agen-
cies committed to their charge."

IT HAS ALWAYS seemed to me that the first of the Gilbert and
Sullivan operas, "Trial by Jury," is also the best. It is an admirable
piece of theatrical genre, fast moving and witty, without those melo-
dramatic distortions that often mar the later works. Both words and
music are unpretentious and pleasant, blending a sentiment with farce
in'a light period piece of style and spirit.
Spirit more than style marked its appearance last night as a cur-
tain raiser to "Ruddigore" with the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, with
style merely a matter of clownish capering rather than inherent wit.
Exception could be made for the "Edwin" of Jerry Hakes who with a

minimum of action gave us a
charming lavender-suited late Vic-
torian cad. Ann Sraw, "Angelina,"
could have been less flighty and
more brazen, but sang with a sure
sense of musical line
IF "TRIAL BY. JURY" is the
best of Gilbert and Sullivan,'
"Ruddigore" may be the worst. It
is plotless in a boreingly complex
way and works up to two finales
that are as inane as they are,
anticlimactic, with 'madrigals,
hornpipes, and the kind of stage
directions that read "all dance."'
They did, too, and it had all the.
uncomfortable aspects of a Fresh-
man mixer.
Rose Maybud is a generally stun
pid heroine, without the wit of a
Tessa, or the courage of an Elsie,
and offers nothing musically or
dramatically that is not banal and
dull. Lavetta Loyd could have been.
more precise, in the sense of etti-
quette, but treated the music in
a generally sophisticated way.

pan Adam.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:

Hurrah for Herb S man, Boo Quads!

Is A Dorm A Home?

E CLASSIC CRY of a University house
her in a University dormitory for women
his is your home."
r these standards, most women entering
University facilities are astounded by the
itudinous regulations which govern their
supposedly "just like home." .
he vastness of dorms such as Markley or,
'd make regulations a necessity. It is not
ome with four, five or even six persons.'
se are dormitories where the University
esponsible for its students. It is necessary
eep track of who is where and why and to
re that no one person is involved in "mis-
f. "
et, it is increasingly hard to see the justifi-
>n of the extension of rules to their present
ortions. If the premise of home living is
pted the rules governing closing, dress and
vities mist be questioned.;
R INSTANCE, in whose home is it neces-
ry to fill out numerous forms indicating cer-
activities that one likes and dislikes? In
se home is it necessary to supply a person
2 relevant material regarding these inter-
? In whose house is ta woman of college age
rded as a minor who is incapable of mak-
her, own decisions? In' whose home is a
use spirit" simulated by the occupants?
gain, arguments for the regulations stipu-
d are valid, in view of the vastness of the
ntses covered. Yet, even with this argument
hard to see some of the reasoning used
niversity personnel.
iitially, women admitted to the University
supposedly capable of handling' their own
irs. This, at least, is the prevailing opinion
rofessors who assign material and assume
i t will be done because 'students are now,
ults" not children who need reminding and
:king up on.
FT, IN A dormitory the policy is reversed.
Women are assumed not to be capable of

possessing the initiative to apply for scholar-
ships available without the aid of a scholar-
ship committee, to enroll in the activities which
are offered on campus without the aid of an
activities committee, to find a social life ac-
ceptable to their own standards without a
social committee.
Women at this University, of the caliber that
the University admits, do not need the impetus
that these committees offer; if they do, they
ought not to be here in the atmosphere that
the cosmopolitan campus offers.
Secondly, the extent to which these rules
are, employed make women feel as if they were
in a prison. Since the premise is that vastness
does present problems, onecan see why closing
hours or dress regulations are needed.
BUT THE POINT is of strictness and ap-
plication of'these rules. Closing hours re-
quire that a women be in at a set time, within
the minute, and a procedure of signing in and
out employed. It has been proved that at other
universities an honor system has worked; per-
haps the University is not giving its women
credit and it could work here, too.
Such a system would provide for a sign-out
book in which the girl merely indicates that
she is out of the building, Closing hours can
be made more flexible, perhaps each woman
would be told that she should be in the build-
ing within a ten minute time span.
This would eliminate the congestion that
one finds in front of the dorms on the Hill
and the end of the unjust penalty of late
minutes to women who left early enough to
be home on time but got caught in traffic
jams of either cars on the Hill or people in
front of the doors.
FINAL;Y, A HOUSE spirit is not something
that can be instilled by requiring meetings,
sign up sheets, or activity cards. With the
relaxed atmosphere provided by the loosening,
of regulations, a new spirit would prevail; that'
of more feeling for one's home. It is clear

To the Editor:
HIS IS SORT of a hurrah for
Herb Sigman, who along with
other staff men is trying to im-
prove the miserable situation in
the quadrangles. I am a fresh-
man and am forced to live in
the quads. I have dozens of com-
plaints but I won't list them be-
cause they have all been stated
before and everybody knows them
except, it seems, the adminis-
tration.
The administration of this high
and mightly university seems to
consider the undergraduate stu-
dent as some kind of handicap or
burden which, if ignored, will go
away and no longer drain off the,
money that could' go into North
Campus. The Assistant Dean of
Men in charge of Residence Halls,
John Hale, reflects the general
administration policy of (evi-
dently) brushing off without even
reading, a 181 page report which
was painstakingly written by my
Resident Adviser. He claims that
the report is invalid because of
faulty research methods. What
does he know about how a report
of this type should be compiled?
Has he lived in these tenements
masquarading as residence halls
for six years as Herb has. Who Jis
in a better position to know how
the students feel than the staff
men, and who knows better what
is wrong with the system than the
inmates(i.e. students)?

Challenge
To the Editor:
PROF. MALENBAUM'S lecture
raises infinite questions. If, as
he points out, that current
Western economic terminology is
inadequate to analyse problems
of economic development in "un-
der-developed" countries, and that
these problems must be consider-
ed in terms of administration,'
cultural anthropology and politics,
one may as well question his
authority to speak on the subject.

precisely for the administrative
and political problems that most
of the 600,000 thousand villages
could not be brought in the devel-
opmental program in the 1950's.
Even today poor channels of com-
cunications and inadequate struc-
ture' of ,local government consti-
tute the major problems to eco-
nomic development in these vil-
lages.
SIMILARLY ON grounds of poli-
tics, the professor may have point-
to out that in a country where
the rural areas constitute the sta-
ble political elements, the urban
areas are the breeders of revolu-
tions; decision to invest heavily
in urban centers, therefore, was
a political necessity not to speak
of the fact that Indian economic
problems will never be solved by
agricultural developments.
.Nor is Professor Malenbaum
adequately justified in accusing
of step-motherly treatment to In-
dian agriculture. If he had looked
at the facts, he might have pointed
out that in absolute figures, the
Third Five Year Plan outlay on
agriculture is nearly four times
the investment in it during the
agriculture - minded First Five
Year Plan.'
Can we expect, in all fairness,
that those scholars who go out
of their fields to study a problem
will try to inform themselves more
about the problems of the fields
that they invade, and of course in-
form themselves better of the
facts?

Policyp
To the Editor:
I READ WITH interest your ar-
ticle (March 9, 1961) about the
ejection of an Ann Arbor resident
from the Michigan Union Grill. I
was in the Union on the evening
of March 9, at which time Mr.
Kuenzel approached this same
resident and said, "This is your
last warning."
There were, at the time, at least

ordinary conversation qualifies as
such.
I have no disput with Mr. Mor-
ton's declaration that "the Union's
function in the public realm is
to serve anyone who would like
to come-if he does not disrupt
our services to our members." But,
I fail to see that on the evening
of March 9 said services were dis-
rupted in any way. I would, how-
ever, question the statement that
the Union has no policy specifi-
cally excluding "certain indivi-
duals." It seems obvious that the;
policy of exclusion was arbitrarily
applied to a "certain individual."
What is the "established policy",
of the Union management? Is it
that non-students be excluded
from the MUG? Or is it that the
Union serve any guest who does
not disrupt its services to its mem-.
beirs? Is the policy both of these?
neither ,of these? Perhaps the
Union had better have a policy
before it enforces one. And per-
haps, when it does decide what its
policy is, it will see that this
policy is enforced uniformly and
consistently.

To the Editor:
FIST OF ALL, I would like to
thank Mr. Tserklas for his let-
ter commenting on American wo-
men.
As for explaining those "violent,
osculatory antics," I submit that
they are due to the niggardliness
with which. the woment dole .out
their affection: the men have to
become ridiculously aggressive for
a simple good night's kiss. This'
situation has progressed to the'
point where American women have
become the most emotionally con-
stipated females a male ever had
the misfortune to court., (A note
to the' ladies:' It's admirable to"
be passive-not moribund.)
I submit, also that this depress-'
ing emotional attitude is the re-'
sult of modern advertising's efforts
to garner the female dollar. To il-
lustrate: open any popular maga-
zine and you'll probably find, a'
full page 'ad of just the head of
some sloe-eyed femme fatale sell-,
ing eye-shadow; the caption: "Be
the end of the rainbow-- "paint
your eyelids GOLD!"
