T HE MUSIC of Rachmaninoff, from which the Philadelphia Orch-
estra's final program of the May Festival Sunday evening was
chosen, embodies at its best the distinctive poignancy of sentiment
associated with Russian romanticism. A knowing Rachmaninoff inter-
pretation combined, as on this occasion, with the advent of that
most sentimental of seasons, spring, becomes quiet a heady poetic
brew for the emotionally susceptible.
In Sunday's concert Mr. Ormandy, the Philadelphians and pianist
Eugene Istomin displayed their not unsuspected talent for dealing
with this kind of music in a manned conductive to maximum effect.
As a matter of fact, it is unlikely that any other orchestra on
today's musical scene, with the possible exception of the Leningrad

INE of the most vexing and difficult prob-
lems confronted by the residence halls
tem has been that of feeding 5;000 students
'ee times a day. These individuals have a
ntastic variety of demands and culinary
osyrIcracies, some of which must be sacrificed
satisy the group as a whole. Thus it is un-
tified to condemn the residence hall living'
tem because of reasons such, as "not liking
food." This is a problem inherent in mass
ing and any criticisms should be directed
vard the system itself rather than such a
perficial aspect.
Yet there are definite steps the University'
ministration might take to at least alleviate
a food problem. One method of improvement
s in the revision of the present system of
ying for meals. Residents are obligated to
y a blanket rate for all meals, whether they
; them or not. A student who eats 10 meals
week pays the same as he would for eating
21.
HE INEQUALITIES or this policy should
be apparent. Through no real fault of their
ni, ~students active ;In campus affairs or
sy with studies are at times unable to return
k to their "home away from home" and are
is economically penalized. People. who ob-
t violently to a certain type of food must
aer eat it or pay for something they aren't,
ting. Through economic pressure the Uni-
'sity' enters into the dangerous realm of al-
st regulating personals tastes.
T'hus the policy should be changed. A system
which a resident would pay for only the
als he eats could be established with very,
le difficulty. The necessary prerequisites for
h a revision already exist. Counselors punch'
al tickets and record which and how many
als the student eats. The business office
ps figures on the popularity and cost of.
;h meal and the effects of outside factors
:h as weather and campus events on meal
endance.
Students would not necessarily forsake quad
als for dining out. Since the cost of dor-
ory meals is much lower than in com-
rcial establishments, the number of stu-
its eating in the dorms would not drop by
iugh to significantly raise the cost of the

HE SECOND METHOD for improving the
conditions of eating in residence halls lies
in the abolition of dress standards. It is no
secret that the administration sets the stan-
dards, although the quad governments pur-
portedly establish them. Much of the com-
plaining about the food undoubtedly stems
from the resentment of continually having to
dress up for the meals. It is slightly incon-
gruous that the residence halls system which
tries to "make the student feel at home" sets
up dress standards far removed from a family
situation.
The rationale for the regulations is that
they set "a dignified tone" for the dining rooms
and discourage. rowdyism. Supposedly, the resi-
dents will be less likely to throw the catsup
around if they are wearing suits and ties. If
this is the reason for dress standards, then
they have failed. Any decrease in destruction
whiph results from making students dress up
is far overshadowed by ,the tremendous harm
done in the' attempt to legislate morals.
The only justifiable reason to legislate the
personal mores of an individual Is, if they
harmfully affect the public. It is extremely dif-
ficulty to comprehend any public danger if a
student wears a sweatshirt instead of a white,
shirt to dinner. It is a' moral right for an
individual to dress as he pleases. No group,
whether it is 'made up of students or ad-
ministrators, has the right to legislate such a
personal habit in the .context of a public in-
stitution. The residence halls are not private
clubs..
BESIDES being wrong morally, dress stan-
dards fail as a practical means. An atmos-
phere of dignity does not arise from -apparel;
it emanates from peoples personalities. Dignity
is a mental, not a physical, charctertistic. Any
"tone" in a residence hall dining room comes
from the students. and not from a remote ad-
ministrator. The "tone" at meals where dress
standards are 'less strict is hardly different
from the atmosphere when standards are
strict.
Certainly if the University would establish
a pay-as-you-eat system and abolish dress
standards, the resentment by students to eat-
ing in residence halls would diminish.

THE 'U' AND THE LAW:
Power of Legislature Li mited

The Situation in Mudville

HERE SEEMS TO BE an unhealthy ten-
dency among some quite unpatriotic and
lical segments 'of our society to. belittle the
man achievement of our recent American
ronaut. Far be it from me to engage in this
e of belittlement-a human being has done

ion the words "wonderful" and "tremen-
is" were music.
erhaps this emotional reaction can be dis-
;sed by the staid old scholar who, in his
lantic way, describes it as an "immature
nifestation of a relatively young industrial
iety, lacking deep rooted national pagean-

try, respectful attitudes toward state or reli-
gious ritual . . . and something akin to the,
ritualistic purging effect of the ancient Greek
drama . . . " Whatever germ of truth this
comment may possess, excitement over such a
long awaited and;well publicized event is quite
natural. In fact, I will even be bold enough to
say that 'happiness, in moderate quantities, is
a good thing.
YET BURIED DEEP in a long feature story
which mirrored the national mood of joy,

graphs which seem to have gone largely unno-

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
second article in a two-part analy-
sis of the legal relationship be-'
tween the Legislature and the Uni-
versity.)
By MICHAEL OLINICK
Daily Staff Writer
THE ! MICHIGAN COURT which
heard the case of the State
Board of Agriculture vs. the Audi-
tor General did not reach a unan-
imous decision. The split, for-
tunately for the University, was
5-3 in favor of independent edu-
cation.
The agricultural board ',was
seeking a' court opinion that an
appropriation bill passed by the
state legislature was unconstitu-
tional. The bill made state monies
available to the Michigan Agri-
cultural College (MSU) (which
the agriculture board controlled)
with the stipulation that the col-
lege use it for cooperative agri-
culture extension work and that.
the project be subject to super-
visory control of the State Ad-
ministrative Board.
Such conditions interfered with
the internal, management of the
school, an area constitutionally
ordered to be under the jurisdic-
tion of the agriculture board.
*. *
A MR. JUSTICE McDONALD
wrote the majority opinion of the
court, stressing MAC'S right to
the same protection .as the Uni-
versity. He felt that if the bill
were to be accepted and applied
as constitutional it would com-
pletely overturn the well-settled
policy of the state relative to the
management and control of both
institutions..
"These constitutions of learn-
ing," he wrote, "are very close to
the hearts of the people of Michi-
gan. They have made of them the
most unique organizations known
to the law, in this, that they are
constitutional corporations created
for the purpose of independently
discharging state functions . .
The progress which our Univer-
sity has made is due in large
measure to the fact that the
framers of the Constitution wise-
ly provided against legislative in-
terference by placing its exclusive
management in the hands of a
constitutional board elected by the
people."
McDonald cited a previous case,
Weinberg vs. Regents of the Uni-
versity, in which the majority
opinion seemed to give the Legis-
lature power to impose any condi-
tions upon the appropriation
which it felt necessary-a depart-

ment of homeopathy it wanted in
1855 or a limit on out-of-state
enrollment in 1961.
** *
THE CONCLUSION in the
Weinberg case read, "In making
appropriations for its support, the
Legislature may attach any condi-
tions it may deem expedient and
wise, and the Regents cannot re-
ceive the appropriation without
complying with the conditions."
With this as a final interpre-
tation of the law, the Legislature
could easily fix any conditions it
wanted to upon the University and
the institution would have to obey
them or lose a basic part of its
operating costs: Justice McDon-
ald, however, differentiated be-
tween what therLegislature can
and cannot order :
"Clearly, in saying that the Leg-
islature can attach to an appro-
priation any condition which it
may deem expedient and wise, the
court had i4 mind only such a
condition as the Legislature had
power to make.
"It did not mean that a condi
tion could be imposed that would
be an invasion of the constitution-
al rights and powers of the gov-
erning board of the college. It did
not mean to say that, in order to
avail itself of the money appro-
p'iated, the State Board of Agri-
culture (or the University) must
turn over to the Legislature man-
agement and control of the col-
lege, or of any of its activities . .
McDONALD'S decision is a sig-
nificant one, for it defines an
area of "unconstitutional condi-
tions" as well as an area of "con-
stitutional" ones.
As Dean Emeritus E. Blythe
Stason of the Law School sees the
decision today, "The Legislature
'may attach conditions to appro-
priations for the I support of the
University and, if the conditions
are constitutional, they must be
complied with by the University
before funds may be received.
"However, he says, "conditions
attached to the appropriations act
will be deemed unconstitutional
and invalid if, by their effect,
they take from the Regents any
substantial power over the opera-
tion or educational policies of the
universities."
It is certainly clear (or at least
it can seasily be argued in today's.
court) that fixing a limit to the.
enrollment of any group of stu-
dents, by sex, height, intelligence
or place of birth, is both 'an in-
ternal policy for the University

and the expression of some sort
of educational philosophy, how-
'ever muddleheaded.-
* * *
DETERMINING the education--
al policies and controlling their
application in everyday affairs is
the responsibility of the Regents,
not the Legislature. As a separate
constitutional agency, the Univer-
sity stands equal in level of gov-
ernment to the Legislature.
Such arguments, however, that=
seek to prove that an out-of-state'
enrollment limit demanded by the
House and Senate should not be
necessary. The Legislature should
be shown that a free and inde-
pendent University is best for-
them and for their constituents.
Balnce
"THE COURT, by stating un-
equivocally that there are no
'absolutes' under the First Amend-
ment, necessarily take the position
that even speech, that is admitted-
ly protected by the First Amend-
ment is subject to the 'balancing
test'...
Thus, the "balancing test"
turns our 'Government of the
people, by the people and for the
people''into a government over the
people."
-Black dissenting in
Konigsberg v. California

Pilharmonic under a conductor
like Sanderling or Kondrashin, is
as ideally suited to the interpre-
tation of the Russian master's
surging, dark-hued lyricism. Rach-
maninoff's fondness for the Phila-
delphia Orchestra is well-known,
a manifestation of the aristocratic,
sensuous taste displayed in his
music.
ORMANDY'S APPROACH to the
Russian repertoire in earlier days
was frequentlyhmarred by.man-
nerisms,, but he has gradually
emerged from the shadow of Mt.
Stokowski to become an inimitable
conductor of those works which
can be successfully realized in
terms of sonority alone. The ab-
sorption with producing a mel-
lifluous orchestra tone which
makes his Wagnerinterpretatively
dubious is just right for Rach-
maninoff.
a * *
THE WORKS on Sunday's pro-
gram-the Vocalise, the Second
Piano' Concerto, and the Second.
Symphony -- were treated with
gratifying restraint and under-
statement, characteristics found
in Rachmaninoff's own recorded'
performances. A solo section for,
first violinist Anishel Brusilow in
the lovely Vocalise was an effec-
tive deviation from the composer's
orchestration of what was origin-
ally a song.
Eugene Istomin's work in the
Concerto was, for the most part,
cleaning articulated, with a deft,
sure touch, but rather, dry tone.
His interpretative approach was
in accordance with Ormandy's
though somewhat deficient in un-
derlying warmth of feeling.
* . *
FROM its brooding opening bars
to the sumptuous finale, the Se-
cond Symphony is an impressive
evocation of prostor, the Russian.
poetic notion of vastness and
limitless vistas. This atmsophere
is somewhat mitigated .in the cut
version used by the Philadelphia
andmost 'western orchestras.
Ormandy's performancedSunday
surpassed his three record ver-
sions of this work in 'refinement
and directness of phrasing. The
haunting 'clarinet. solo in the third
movement was performed with ex-
ceptional finesse by Anthony Gig-
liotti.
Strings and brass, in top form
throughout the evening, sweptN
brilliantly through the final move-
mentp to lose a concerset nqu i
its appeal to both, sentimental
and sophisticated listeners.

masterfully handled in a series ',
finely balanced episodes of re-
citatives, arias and choruses, each
dealing with an incident In the
life of the Old Testament Pi'o-
phet. This great foi'ce seemed to
be hindered greatly in, Sunda's.
performance by a complete duality
of dramatic planes. The orchestra
and soloists carried the real vi-
brancy innate within the work,"
while the Choral Union academic-
ally'' sang its responses.'
The Philadelphia Orhestra did
a fine job of intrjecting the right
amount of fire into .the °perfor- 
ance,'yet never overshar 6w41'the'
soloists or chorus. Thor.ohnsn.
led the large group through this
difficult score with skill, and
knowledge of the work.
* * *
THE REAL CREDIT of the per-
formance goes, along with John-"
son, to the fine group of soloists.
The title role was sung by William
Warfield. Dramatically, Warfleldl
handled the part with grea skill
but was not in the best of voice.
He was matched in prowess by
soprano, Janice' Harsanyi, whose
beautiful and richly colored voice
was wonderfully pleasing to hear.
The scenes between Miss Har-
sanyi and Warfield were presented
without score and were done ef-
fectively with exciting interplay
between the two.
. The tenor role in the "Elijah"
is a' type of "Catch all" one. It
bounds from the indignant Ahab
tp the supplicating Obadiah. David
Lloyd added.a beautiful lyric voice
to contrast with the highly dra-
matic episodes. His- performance,
while small in reward for the
soloist, was great in reward for
the audience. Prof. Frances Greer
combined 'ber: beautiful and com-
petent voie withthat of thei 
other two women soloists for two
well done ensembles.
The weakest of the soloists was
Miss Mary MacKensie, the con-
tralto. Her voice lacked the dra-
matic qualities necessary to match
her fellow soloists.
* * *
IT IS VERY DIFFICULT to
understand how the chorus was.
able to sing the highly dramatic
choruses in this work 'quite sd
glibly. The Romantic spirit of
the work was hinted at only a
few times: in the "Baal" sequence
and in the "Still Small Voice"
chorus. It would seem. that some
of the fire in the performances of
the orchestra and soloists would
have sparked a more thrilling per-
formance out of the Choral Union.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS:
Sof the Hard Sell

By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
RE IS SOME THINKING in Washington
at 'the United States will have to back
from her hard sell of formal democracy
zerging nations in favor of almost any
!ommunist types of social and economic
itions which promise stability during a
erm soft sell.
re is a trend toward new standards for
ig new regimes.,
he process, such terms as state planning,
ism and even authoritarianism are losing
of their odor. Though totalitarianism as
ally understood is still taboo.
bts are being dissolved in such cases as
s, where socialism, local and foreign
e enterprise are being promoted side by
after all, Britain and France do this, too.
formal forms of what the West calls
racy have proved too intricate and too
sive for many new nations until political
ity and economic stability can be de-
d to support it.
new emphasis in Washington is on in-
dence first for those like the new African
is which wish to hold themselves out-
be orbits of both East and West.

HE MAJOR TEST for cooperation in the
future seems likely to be whether the in-
stitutions of such countries aim at social jus-
tice, and represent the general will of their
peoples rather than the desires of special
minorities and Communist borers.
If Marxism is not linked with the Red
Chinese-Soviet totalitarian perversions of the
theory, and dooes not contribute to Communist
expansion, it will be tolerated, as in Guinea.
If Nkrumah's one party and almost one-man
rule does not violate these limits or become
oppressive of the people, Ghana will not be
read out of the family.
O N THE OTHER HAND, the soft sell of
Western political ideals will be ,continued
in anticipation of he day when, through eco-
nomic aid and political education, independence
and stability have been brought to a level where
political philosophy can compete for public
attention.'
War has always brought a temporary sac-
rifice of some of the less fundamental trappings
of democracy for the sake of winning.
