SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1964 NIGHT EDITOR: JOHN KENNY Student Activists Undermine Own Goals with Lawlessness WE ARE FORTUNATE that orderly processes for the peaceful redress of grievances exist in our country. Thus it is disturbing to read of students' disre- spect for these processes of law and or- der. The Associated Press noted that po- licemen trying to perform their duty at the University of California last week were "bodily attacked" by an unruly crowd of students protesting a university regula- tion clearly within the scope of California state law. If our society, or any society, is to sur- vive and prosper, it must exist in a cli- mate which recognizes peaceful and or- derly means of dealing with controver- sial issues. Lawlessness and disrespect for authority can lead only to disorder, con- fusion and chaos. In such a climate, no society can properly function or be main- tained, IT IS REGRETTABLE to note the sup- port of lawlessness on our own cam- pus by Voice, a supposedly respectable student organization, which recently held a speaker's rally "to express sympathy and solidarity with students at the Univer- sity of California." Certainly, neither the means (harrassing and ravaging police) nor the end of these students (advocat- ing that the university break the state law) deserve support from intellectually honest and mature students on this cam- pus. Furthermore, Voice willfully violated a University regulation prohibiting un- scheduled demonstrations on the Diag. It had previously assured the president of SGC, when he authorized the rally, that it would be held on the League Mall. Barry Bluestone, a student leader of Voice, condemned disqualified SGC can- didate Sharon Manning for "violating the spirit of SGC." Yet, the unlawful actions of Voice, which Bluestone supports, are certainly also "violating the spirit of SGC." H.

EVIDENTLY, Bluestone and Voice think the only laws which should be follow- ed are those whose ends serve their poli- tical needs. It is such attitudes which lead to the erosion of the basic institutional and legal fabric of our society. Complex and important issues are wor- thy of rational and orderly solutions. And rational solutions cannot be found through irrational, lawless and disorder- ly actions. Disorder, in fact, only breeds more disorder. THE BERKELEY ISSUE just concerns the prohibition of soliciting members and money for off-campus political pur- poses. Students there still have the right to express their thoughts and opinions openly; so do students here. And as long as they have this right, they possess a method far better than lawlessness to secure the additional freedoms they de- sire. -PHYLLIS KOCH One-Upmanship IT IS ALWAYS INTERESTING, if not exactly heartening, to see the unique and clever ways in which Ann Arbor merchants try to outdo one another in the fine art of "one-upmanship" where advertising is concerned. When they man- age to demonstrate similarly unique and clever ways of employing semantics as well, the results can also serve to stim- ulate readers into reading more carefully. Take for example the full-page ad in- serted by a local record store in yester- day's Daily. In an obvious attempt to be "one up" on another record store which was in the midst of selling a brand of rec- ords for half the list price, the first store announced an "LP SALE" of rec- ords on three other labels. BUT I WONDER how many readers were misled upon seeing the word "sale" to think of "a special disposal of goods, as at reduced prices" (American College Dic- tionary definition No. 4), and not merely "act of selling" (A.C.D. definition No. 1). Those who did will be disappointed; of the three labels "on sale," two were be- ing offered at list price (which can be bettered at other record stores in town), while the third, although being sold for substantially less than list price, could still be obtained at other local record stores for less. As long as the record stores are going to continue their game of "one-upman- ship," there is no reason why their pro- spective customers cannot do likewise. You don't need to own a record store to play (although it obviously would help); all you need are a copy of the Schwann LP Record Catalogue, which gives all list prices, and a pair of keen eyes. Then, whenever a "sale" comes along, merely: 1) Check in Schwann to see what the list prices are,"and 2) Shop around town to make sure you can't get better prices elsewhere. IF YOU FOLLOW this simple procedure, you may never become a record store owner (in fact, you may lose whatever friends you had in the record business); but you may become "one up' on those who think students don't have enough sense to read between the lines. -STEVEN HALLER To the Editor: THE ARGUMENTS used by Jef- frey Goodman in his stirring call to inaction (editorial, Oct. 7) had a disconcertingly familiar ring. I remember being told in June as I was planning to go to Mis- sissippi that I did not under- stand "the minute complexities of the issues involved," and that the Summer Project would be "actual- ly harmful to the process through which changes will have to be achieved." These sincere and well-meaning people, as Mr. Goodman has done, use their understandings of the enormity of the problem to tation- alize inaction. * * * . THE LESSON of the sit-ins, the peace-marches, the Berkeley dem- onstrations and other direct-action movements is that these complex problems can be attacked in a simple direct fashion, and that nothing really gets done about these problems until the issue is forced by direct action. Goodman favors study first and action second. The lesson of the last five years is that the fruitful approach is just the reverse. Until now the administration has virtually denied that any prob- lems exist-which strikes me as being similar to Ross Barnett's de- nial that a problem existed in his state. And Goodman's editorial echoes the go-slow preachments of the Uncle-Tom Negroes of the South. PRESIDENT HATCHER, the administration, the Regents and the Legislature will all bow to the "complexities of the issues" until some disruptive action is taken. -Sam Walker, '64 To the Editor: I WISH to correct an error in Mr. Sutin's letter to the editor on Thursday, October 9. Mr. Sutin says, "SAL dynamism comes at a time when SGC is doing little and Voice has abandoned the cam- pus to organize the nation's poor." He is quite correct in saying that SOC is doing very little of value to students and he is also correct in his implication that many members of Voice are work- ing now and during .the summer in community organizing projects. However the latter does not mean that Voice has deserted the cam- pus. Quite the opposite. s , * MR. SUTIN'S letter referred to the recently formed Student Ac- tion League and the rallies on the Diag Tuesday and Wednesday which led to its formation. I would merely like to point out that the rally on the Diag on Tuesday was organized, sponsored and publi- cized by Voice. The list of demands passed out to all of those who at- tended the rally was written by the Voice executive committee and the two speakers included the chair- man of Voice, Richard Horevitz, and the Voice member on SGC, Barry Bluestone. The direction and future plans for the Student Action League will be determined by those students who continue working with the organization. But let us not for- get that Voice was the only student organization which saw the vital and immediate need for students to organize and demand that the University become an educational community-and Voice acted on its concern. -Nancy Gitlin, '65 Member, Voice Executive Committee To the Editor: BARRY BLUESTONE and his Student Action League have raised a storm of controversy on campus concerning basic student needs and grievances. While the reaction of many to the Diag dem- onstration has been one of indig- nation and disgust, we hold the view that Bluestone is merely looking in the wrong direction. It is true that the University administration is closest to stu- dent problems, but this does not necessarily imply that the admin- istration is mainly responsible for overcrowded dorms and class-t rooms, inadequate study space, "raids" on a poorly-paid faculty1 and short-sighted planning. On the contrary, the administration1 has been hobbled by a backward, parochial Legislature which has1 refused to recognize that ade-1 quate education requires adequate financial support and that good education requires even more mon- ey. And that "enlightened" Re- publican, Gov. George Romney, has not provided the leadership to ed- ucate his own party. LET US LOOK at a few sam- ples. The state agency budget re- quests for higher education in 1964 were $143.2 million. The governor recommended that this figure be slashed to $115.8 million. Further- more, Romney's proposedbudget was $4 million below the abso- lute minimum recommendations of his own "Blue Ribbon" Committee, headed by conservative Alvin Bent- ley. All this, despite the fact that the state has a surplus of $50 mil- lion in its treasury. Among the top eight industrial states, Michigan last year rank- ed next-to-last in per-pupil sup- port of higher education. What in- creased appropriations have been made have been offset by the vast influx of new students. There can be no excuse for the actions of the Republican Party in Michi- gan, especially since the national administration has brought about the prosperity whichshould enable them to meet the needs of high- er education. And, we ask, is this the fault of the University ad- ministration? ON THE OTHER HAND, the Student Action League presents many legitimate demands which are the proper concern of the ad- ministration. The twin adminis- tration policies of supporting cap- italistic enterprises and promoting paternalism have placed an in- tolerable burden on the students of this University. High rents and fantastic prof- its are the order of the day, yet the student minimum wage set by the University is totally inade- quate.mHousing policies, largely determined by the paternalistic ideal, are responsible for over- crowding in the dorm system. At every policy level, the administra- tion has put its image before the welfare of its students. In short, the "independent academic com- munity" has become a laughable facade. * * * THE YOUNG Democratic Clu1 feels that there are many limi- tations placed on the adminis- tration by lack of financial sup- port from the Republican-con- trolled Legislature and the Re- publican governor. That budget surplus of which Romney is so proud should be used to benefit the citizens of Michigan rather than as a campaign issue by the governor. On the other hand, the administration has been woefully lax in caring for the needs of its students within those financial limitations. We call on the administration to implement the requests of the Student Action League, and not to be prejudiced in this decision by the manner in which the Diag demonstration was conducted. -Michael W. Grondin, '66 Chairman, Young Democrats To the Editor: T UESDAY and Wednesday's Diag demonstrations were an at- tempt by interested students to present their grievances to the stu- dent body and to the administra- tion. Although there may have been three violations of University reg- ulations, one of these regulations appears to be a clear infringe- ment upon students' political rights. This regulation, restricting any activity on the Diag, limits the presentation of a variety of views, spontaneously, in a place where a large number of students are liable to hear them. ' * * * TRADITIONALLY the Diag has been the place for political and non-political groups to air their thoughts. When attempting to hold Tuesday's demonstration on the Diag, Voice was informed that no more demonstrations could be held there this year. It was told that it could hold a demonstration on the League Mall if it wished and hesitantly calendared the demon- stration there. On Monday night, during last- minute planning, the membership decided that a demonstration on the mall would be worthless. The League is an obscure area where no one would even see the dem- onstrators. Certainly if political groups are going to be forced to the edges of the campus, attempts at demonstrations and outdoor speakers will be useless and the air of real activity that existed a few years ago on this campus will surely be dead. I AGREE with the administra- tion's right to limit student use of microphones and instruments because they disturb classes, how- ever it is highly disputable wheth- er someone speaking on the Diag without the aid of a microphone could be disturbing. I have been to several demonstrations at the Universityhand in most cases I couldn't hear the speaker from more than 100 feet away even if he were yelling. The administration should re- move the ban from all organiza- tions and speakers as long as no mikes or instruments are used. It may not have attempted to curb political activity by this Diag ban, though I doubt it, but the ban most definitely is unfair as it is now worded, and is an infringe- ment of political freedom. * * * THE UNIVERSITY has too many regulations on political ac- tivity: SGC supervises the every move of student organizations, the Fishbowl is supervised, and now the Diag is closed to speakers and demonstrations. The University must reopen the Diag to student organizations in order to restore a semblance of civil liberties to the campus. -Richard Shortt, '66 To the Editor: T HE RECENT events around the campus show what happens when poor leadership is put un- der pressure. The motion by SGC regarding the recognition of the Student Employs Union is a case in point. How can SGC possibly recom- mend to the administration that this conglomeration of individuals, many of whom are not even em- ployed, be the "official bargain- ing agent for student employes?" There has been no showing that this group represents any signifi- cant number of student employes. 'TARANTOS': Fatiguing Flamenco At the Campus Theatre " j OSTARANTOS" is a film that could be very good, but fails. There are touches of imagination in this adaptation, but their po- tential is never realized. Thercam- era work and the choreography are especially victim to this: these features are often excellent, but in general the movie is poor. "Los Tarantos" is a Spanish version of "West Side Story." The story is set in Barcelona, among the gypsies. They are a group that has never been quite accepted into the society in which they live, and thus they live by much their own laws. Raphael of the Tarantos family falls in love with Juana, daughter of the man who killed his father. Naturally such a match cannot be, and the love affair ends in tragedy. THE MOVIE is full of excellent "flamenco" dancing. In fact, all the Tarantos ever seem to be doing is dancing. This is carried to such a degree that the viewer becomes tired of all the dancing about half way through the picture.aEven Raphael's widowed mother dances. She is head dancer as well as leader of the clan, and she dances to aggravate the opposing family while they buy horses to aggravate her. The acting is as unconvincing as the subtleties of the plot. There is a Spanish tradition to portray gypies as ruled totally by their passions. This is tried here, but instead of coming acrossas pas- sionate people, driven by their loves and hates, the people in the movie just seem one-dimensional, wooden and at times ridiculously over dramatic. THE BEST FEATURE of the movie is that it does give a re- vealing glimpse into the life of the gypsies of Barcelona. The nativity scene has a Flamenco dancer. The strange wedding rites are interestingly portrayed. Ra- order for a union to be certified as "the" bargaining agent for any group of employes, it must win a representation election by a ma- jority vote of the employes. In fact, in order for the National La- bor Relations Board even to hold an election, a union must show that it "represents a substantial number" of employes-interpreted to mean 30 per cent. It has not been shown and it cannot be shown that this union meets these requirements. Figures probably could not be produced to show that it now represents even 10 per centof thestudent employes. Many problems appear with this union which should have been re- solved long before SGC acted on its status. What student employes does it represent? Who are stu- dents within the meaning of the resolution? Must a student be rep- resented by this union against his will? What means of enforcing the union demands will be allow- ed? ONCE AGAIN, Barry Bluestone has forced the council into action without thought or consideration of the problems involved. It seems that Bluestone and SGC are guilty of what Bluestone condemns in the other-recklessness and unthink- ing action. -Alan M. Sager,'65L To the Editor: FOR YEARSNOW, student gov- ernment councils the nation over have conducted study upon study of what Jeffrey Goodman calls "the minute complexities" of university policies.rAll to very little avail, for-as Mr. Goodman would I think be the first to ac- knowledge-universities in this country are not improving; in fact they are flowing ever more homo- geneously into the rut of dehu- manization, "public relations," re- search over education, ignorance and mishandling of student needs ranging from decent and free places of accommodation to the fundamental need to participate in university (i.e., educational and thus life-shaping) decisions. "Ineptness," again to use Mr. Goodman's word, is not reserved to the University SGC alone; it is endemic and moreover inher- ent in the vast majority of SGC's. One must speculate that there is something in the structural limi- tations of SGC's, and in student expectations of "student govern- ment" in general, that selects for office those least interested in wielding the power over university decisions that adheres to the stu- dent body by right. And the cita- tion of "minute complexities" is a time-honored cloak behind which administrations, of the uni- versity or governmental in the wider sense, maintain a distorted notion of priorities. * * * YES, THERE IS, in the detail- ed sense, "very little we really un- derstand" about University prob- lems. No wonder, when the stu- dent body has no power over Uni- versity decisions. In the Univer- ;ity as outside it, powerlessness en- genders apathy; not having any reason to know, one doesn't both- er to know. Nor does the Univer- sity administration help us to know. But a sense of the proper pri- orities-for state Legislature ap- prepriations as well as for Uni- versity budgeting-does not re- quire such detailed knowledge so much as a sense of values: the relative values of research and education, "community relations" and low prices, South Quad flag- poles and higher faculty salar- ies. (Parenthetically, both Barry Bluestone's speech on Tuesday and the "WE DEMAND" leaflet make it clear that the University ad- ministration and the Legisla- ture share the blame for dam- aging priorities.) * * *. First, however, students need to assert a will to participate in Uni- versity decisions. This is the mean- ing of Tuesday's rally and the founding of the Voice-initiated Student Action League, and I think a momentous meaning at that, for it signals an end to apathy and voicelessness-and hopefully also the incentive to delve more deep- ly into the intricacies of Univer- sity policy and planning. Action or study is never com- plete without the other; both are necessary, in an intertwining and mutually sustaining way. If this is Mr. Goodman's theme, I am in complete agreement; I simply want to point out the "emotional simplism" contained in the dredg- ing up of the cry of "emotional simplism." --Todd Gitlin, Coordinator, SDS Peace Re- search and Education Project Research Fellow, Center for Research on Conflict Resolution SEQUEL: Renovated 'Interns' At the Michigan Theatre i 11 UNDER FEDERAL labor law, inscent must follow in rapid order. I IN WHAT APPEARS to be an attempt to get even with Eng- land for its flood of "Doctor" mo- vies (you know-"Doctor at Sea," "Doctor in Distress," "Doctor on the Moon," and so on), Columbia Pictures apparently scraped sev- eral scenes off the cutting-room floor after shooting "The Interns" last year and spliced them togeth- er to make a new movie. Colum- bia branded this one "The New Interns," although with all the horsing around that went on in the first film they could easily have followed tradition and called the sequel "Son of The Interns." Columbia need not worry about the success of "The New Interns": it should make just as much mon- ey as "The Interns" did, since it has just about everything that mo- vie had. Maybe that's the whole trouble. LIKE ITS predecessor, "The New Interns" is a movie with sev- eral Messages. It has pretty much the same cast of characters, and as before the most impressive showing comes from Telly Savalas as Dr. Dominick Riccio, promoted to supervisor for this sequel. Other than the "color" of the film itself, which changed from oe shade of black-and-white to an- other with disturbing regularity, the major problem with the se- quel is its resemblance to its pre- decessor. The dope addict who tries to get some "stuff" from one of the doctors, the wild party, the endless altercations between Dr. Riccio and the interns-these are all too familiar from "The In- terns." Yet there are a few differences which will serve to convince those who saw "The Interns" that this is in truth a new (or, at best, renovated) picture. For example, the sequence about a doctor who feels the moral urge to help a patient out of his misery is re- placed with a sequence about a social worker (Inger Stevens, who gets raped later on in the pic- ture) who causes a fatally ill man to realize that he hasn't long to live. NEVERTHELESS, there are a few moments of humor to break the monotony, . including refer- ences to policemen, fertility, and such. Nevertheless, the audience around me had the disconcerting habit of laughing at the serious parts; whether this is their prob- lem or Columbia's remains to be seen. If you liked "The Interns," you'll probably like "The New In- terns" as much as Columbia Pic- tures does. -Steven Haller 4 4 4 A 4 I 'i THE ASSERTION of priorities must predate scent into the maze of complexities," although,1 Mr. Goodman his due,t general the de- "minute to grant that de- _..

LEN AND JUDY: Youthful Folk Twosome Comp are with the Best LOOKING MUCH like a folk duo from a high school talent contest; Len and Judy, now appearing at the Golden Vanity, present an unusual evening of pleasing and polished folk music. Youthful they are,, and it serves as both their greatest asset and flaw. Len, the tenor and guitarist, has the distinctively sweet voice and the lean looks of Phil of the Everly Brothers. Judy, his sister, is very blonde and very beautiful with a seemingly rangeless voice. Both look like teenagers. They sing like oldtimers, though, and they're good. Judy's voice is like a quick clear knife that cuts away into the heart of each song. Occasionally a slight warble mars this effect, but when she gets into such songs as "Cry me a River," the edge is sharp again and the result is beautiful. Len has a tenor voice with a strange compelling quality to it and his guitar work, while occasionally muddled by overreaching himself, is unusually adept and fastpaced. Put the two together and the effect is electrifying, fresh and most of all, highly entertaining.
