DISTINGUISHED FACULTY
Wilhelm Fears Social Apathy_

ARTS and LETTERS By Gail Blumberg
New York Opera: Light Fare

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the
last of a series of articles on the
recipients of two University faculty
awards, the Distinguished Faculty
Achievement Award and the Dis-
tinguished Service Award.
By LAUREN SHEPHERD
Prof. Ross Johnson Wilhelm, re-
cent recipient of the Distinguished
Service Award, sees public apathy
as a threat to the democratic way
of life.
"Today there is a far greater
need for an active participation in
society by all groups. If we are
going to have a democracy, we
must have decision-making on the
basis of the information and
opinions of everyone," Wilhelm
said.
Passive Interest
"I feel that teachers and busi-
nessmen, especially, have taken
a passive interest in society, re-
lating their new finds only to
their business associates, and not
to the population at large," he
added.
Because of these beliefs, for the
past four years Wilhelm has given
a weekly five-minute radio com-
mentary called "Business Review"
for WUOM, the campus FM sta-
tion.
His most recent discussion con-
cerned the increase in electronic
eavesdroppers ("snooping gad-
gets") in the business world to-
day.
Closed Society
He attributed this business es-
pionage to the fact that America

is moving toward an undesirable
closed society, with a declining
exchange of ideas between com-
peting business firms.
Wilhelm believes the following
two developments have led toward
this closed society:
-The breakdown of the patent
system, whereby an individual
makes public his inventions; and

on the rise, it is because we are
becoming a closed society and
this is the real change that should
worry us more than the eaves-
dropping itself," Wilhelm said.
Economic Commentary
His radio commentary has also
included discussions on current
business andl economic affairs, the
stockmarket, the war on poverty
and the Peace Corps.
Tapes of his program have been
rebroadcast by more than 100 ra-
dio stations throughout the coun-
try, and newspapers have carried
stories on Wilhelm's suggestions.
In the classroom, he believes it
is the teacher's role to guide the
students in integrating and unify-
ing the ideas contained in the
readings.
"Understanding the role of the
businessman in society and the
functions of the economy requires
an interdisciplinary approach,
drawing concepts and facts from
all of the social sciences and not
just economics and business," he
said.
Understands Values
From the interdisciplinary ap-
proach the student gains a deeper
understanding of the values that
guide the business mind and thus,
also gains insight into his own
values and his own perceptions of
the world, he added.
Wilhelm also participates in sev-
eral special instruction programs
for American businessmen and
visitors from abroad.

The New York City Opera Com-
pany, under the direction of Jul-
ius Rudel, has returned to Ann
Arbor for the third consecutive
season with a selection of operas
in the light, romantic vein.
At 2:30 p.m. tomorrow the com-
pany will perform Franz Lehar's
operetta "The Merry Widow" and
at 8:30 p.m. Charles Gounod's
"Faust," in Hill Aud.
They also presented Johann
Strauss' "Die Fledermaus" last.
night.
Huge Success
"The Merry Widow" has played
to packed houses ever since its
1905 premiere in Vienna. Despite
a highly romantic and barely
credible plot, this operetta has re-
mained a favorite in opera reper-
toire by virtue of its melodic score
and glittering waltz choreography.
It has become a symbol of the
gay andbglamoroussworld of pre-
war Europe.
