CHAMBER DANCE FESTIVAL:
Warm Response Greets
20th Century Dance
THE FIRST CONCERT of the Chamber Dance Festival was received
Sunday afternoon by a full house with a warm response.
The two couples-Kovach and Rabovsky, and O'Honau and
Scheepers--who danced in the classical ballet style, performed several
traditional pas de deux varied with piano solos by Howard Barr.
Although Rackham Aud. provided a very gracious setting for the
concert, it also created technical difficulties for a dance presentation
of this type through the front spot lighting, the curtain entrances,
the semi-circular floor shape, and the very close proximity of the
audience; but the dancers were able to adjust to these handicaps
quite readily, and seemed to become much more comfortable and
to open up in their performance as the concert progressed.
'The Show Must Go On'
For Swainson and Romney

THE GREAT TV Debates of 1960 which are
said to have played such an important role
in the later successes of personality-exuding
John F. Kennedy have been taken up gamely
by gubernatorial hopefuls Gov. John B. Swain-
son and opponent George Romney.
Nothing yet has gone so far to evidence
the extreme poverty of the current campaign
as the first of these public "debates." If voters
have been bothered by suspicions that they
are being taken by this campaign, then even
the most unconscious of these feelings must
have been made painfully real by the empty,
defensive show of interest broadcast Tuesday
evening.
There is no question that the bout ended in
do..MAY Tiff~n nvmnt hfn fii'c i abn
OeaIc J s on cou&t n ave iised itc astr.
That was made clear when Swainson took the
microphone and "debating" ran through as
many factual and trumped up accomplishments
for his administration that he could manage.
That was his opening statement.
IN BETWEEN, he and Romney rehashed all
the old issues quite mechanically as they've
been doing for months now, following reliably
the formula: "Yes you are. No I'm not. That's
a lie." Hostfor WWJ Jim Clark, finding him-
self somewhat embarassingly five minutes short
at the end of the show when Swainson and
Romney both cut short their closing state-
ments, followed the symmetry established by
the two adversaries and closed the program by
rereading his opening comments plus his clos-
ing remarks which were largely the same as
the opening remarks in the first place.
The hottest issue conjured up- was the un-
employment statistics debate, now taking on
new and vital importance to the campaign.
Working from supposedly the same base num-
bers from the same report from the same
Michigan Employment Securities Commission,
though the statistics each gave over the air
were different and for different time periods,
Swainson concluded more men are now work-
ing, Romney that more men are not working
or have picked up and moved elsewhere.
Mrs. Grundy N
NOTE:Mrs. Grundy refers to a line from
a play by Thomas Morton (1798):
"What will Mrs. Grundy say? What will
Mrs. Grundy think?" Be advised I don't
give a tinker's damn.
"TOHN, I feel it's time I told you what's been
going on ... I can't bear the burden alone
any longer!"
"Why dear there . . . there . . . Now what
is the matter?"
"It's about the twins."
"Are they happy at J. C.?"
"They seem to be."
"It it their grades?"
"No, they are doing quite well."
"Well?"
"THERE HAVE BEEN some changes in them.
You've been busy; you haven't noticed the
difference. Oh, John."
"Now dear, control yourself."
"Tracy was always satisfied to help around
the house .. . now she has dropped her home
economics and is taking Comparative Govern-
ment."
"That's all right, dear, their books are safe
... screened and edited by the Board."
"But I found the Manifesto under her pillow
what can we do?"
"How is Stacy reacting to those Communist
instructors?"
Obscenities
POLITENESS is generally not an obvious
trait at the University, nor is it really
required. Women can pull those big heavy
doors open just as well as men (although it
distresses them to see a man then go through
first). Instructors really don't care if one talks
in class although it is quieter if one would sleep.
However, even in a casual society such as the
campus, one generally restricts obsenities and
lewd comments to a single sex bull session.
It is not "brave" or "cool" to yell out filth,
even in verse in a full Hill Aud. Young ladies
were dressed up and going to a polite perform-
ance. Even though such words and thoughts
were provoked by the Limeliter sense of humor
last Sunday night's "pots" were out of order.
The real question at such times is not
whether the "sister will"-but whether the
boy would say that in front of his sister.

Editorial Staff
MICHAEL OLINICK, Editor
This "tisket-a-tasket, who's got the statistic"
game is now the Big Controversy. MESC has
promised a ruling. Now we ought to see which
guy is the true blue and faithful public servant.
The whole idea of debate was more or less
forced on Swainson and Romney, neither of
whom has shown much relish for the idea, least
of all before the cameras. But dutifully acced-
ing to the obligation to maintain the public
image, they have taken it up. After all, they
are both riding on the 'get Michigan moving"
theme that seems to be working so well on
a grander scale for Kennedy.
THERE DO REMAIN valuable lessons to be
considered:
For the two other Detroit stations that must
bear the odious task of keeping their contract,
the obvious five-minute faux pas should raise
this question, "If the two were completely
exhausted, what's left?" Questions by Clark
were either ignored or supplied with the stock
answers common to any Swainson or Romney
speech.
For the candidates, consider that almost a
month of hard campaigning remains. Images
are sagging and so is public morale. Instead of
a hot presidential candidate Romney has been
disappointingly vacuous. The public would
rather turn to California to watch Richard
Nixon the has-been than follow Romney the
yet-to-be.
Swainson was expected to have rough going
anyway, but should be able to throw a bit
more into the campaign than a list of rather
innocuous-so far as the public is concerned-
achievements. He has been governor of the
state for two years, a fact that should do him
more good than his vague tactic of trying to
hide himself within the depths of the Demo-
cratic party.
Federal Communications Commission chief
Newton Minow once warned against the per-
petuation of the "vast wasteland." It is not
likely that either Swainson or Romney will be
slapped in jail on federal charges. But neither
is there sign of respite in this voter's desert.

A LITTLE
:
KOVACH WAS very effective
yet technically she remained very
Waltz" and the "Gypsy Dance of
Esmeralda" achieved a wonderfully
spirited quality. Her partner Rob-
ovsky also danced well, performing
admirably some very difficult
technical movements.
O'Honau, while very refreshing
-especially in the Peasant Pas de
Deux from Giselle- and while a
clean dancer, lacked the finese of
Kovach; add three considerably
outshone Scheepers, who came
across as rather flat and (for the
audience) in uncomfortably poor
control of the movement in sev-
eral of his solo portions.
THE MOST remarkable number
of the concert,rthe Saffron Knot,
and one which drew a very enthu-
siastic response, was perhaps the
least successful of the group's
ventures as a dance piece. As con-
temporary balletic choreography,
it, was the only piece which in-
volved real dramatic content ra-
ther than mere technical show-
manship, and was danced with
much feeling by Kovach and Rab-
ovsky.
To achieve the dramatic effect,
some exciting movement from the
field of modern dance was brought
in, but such movement in combin-
ation with the very classical pir-
ouettes and generally classical
stylization which pervaded the
work, only created a curiously
dicotomous feeling within the
spectator.
The transitions from one stlye
of movement to the other not
only hampered the dramatic ef-
fectiveness of the piece as a whole
but severely limited the expressive
possibilities of either style.
' s *
BUT the real excitement of the
audience over the piece in con-
tirast to the more traditional selec-
tions implies an audience in Ann
Arbor receptive to 20th-century
developments in dance, an au-
dience which would welcome more
concerts by some of the modern
dance groups to balance the rela-
tively over-abundant number of
those holding to the classical
school.
On the -whole, the concert was
a most pleasing introduction 'to
the first of the Chamber Dance
Festivals.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
The Church and the Index
To the Editor:
SATURDAY'S EDITORIAL in
The Daily, entitled "Catholic
Church Endangers Free Thought,
Creativity" and dealing with the
Index, takes on the aspects of a-
bolt from the blue. One wonders
what brought about an editorial
on such a subject at this time. If
'this hodge-podge piece, which con-
fusedly throws together criticism
of Church, government and uni-
versity, is the best way it knows of
acknowledging the inauguration of
th Vatican Council, The Daily
hardly deserves credit for its capa-
city to perceive the- significance
of this momentous event.
To my understanding, the
Church has as its mission the
transmission to all men of a time-
less and powerful message bearing
on God, the higher destiny of man
and his relationship to God and
fellow man, and the way to the
harmonization of man's vital
forces in the interest of individual
and social order and happiness.
This message-along with know-
ledge of its own fundamental na-
ture and origin in Jesus Christ-
the Church wants particularly its
formal members to receive and
understand in an intellectual set-
ting somewhat above the din and
confusion of human opinion, how-
ever honestly held, and all manner
of inducements to moral debase-
ment. And, then, the Church wants
the possession of such a message
to serve ass the basis from w ich
to launch vigorously into the study
Ot Withstanding
" E CAME HOME shocked to find that
everybody is not an Episcaterian. And he
started asking me about Roosevelt; said you
had told him the New Deal was just a Double
Deal."
"Sounds bad .:. . Did he mention General
Motors?"
"Yes, and he said he belonged to some sort
of Student Union. Stacy wanted to know what
right G.M. had to control this town."
'THAT'S THE LAST straw.. . that's blas-
phemy. Why what did they ever learn in
church? 'Thou shall not swear. Honor thy
father and they mother and thy employer.'
Where are they? This must stop."
"Well dear, I don't know quite how to tell
you this."
"Speak up woman, this is no time to 'beat
about the plant' as we say at work. Where are
those kids?"
"Sit down, John."
"They are out picketing."
"MY CHILDREN, picketing-my business
career is ruined."
"It's some of their radical friends."
"I knew we never should have let them leave
high school."
"It's some Un-American thing."
" HEY'LL BE branded Reds and because I'm
their father I'll . .. oh it's just too much."
"They said it was something about guilt by
association."
"It's not fair."
"I'm going to call Mrs. Krumpe; her boy
Calvin is in his second year."
"We do a lot of business with Mr. Krumpe,
so be careful how you handle it."
"Mrs. Krumpe? You've been expecting my
call? Then you know?"
"My God, I'm ruined."
"IT'S CUSTORARY! It's not permanent .. .
just a stage-like teething. Will Spock
help?"
"There is a cure. Yes, yes, yes . . . yes ...
I see, thank you so much."
"Dear, there is a cure."
"I'LL TRY anything!"
"First of all, they can't read the College
Clamor-some of the worse ideas come from
there, although Mrs. Krumpe said Student
Government is all right. They both must come
home right after classes . . . I guess that
library is an uncovered hot bed. She prescribed
The Conscience of a Conservative, and I am
to fill this house with copies of The Flint
Journal. Mrs. Krumpe said it doesn't matter
how old they are, they all read the same any-
way. I wonder what she went by that? Anyway
that's the cure."
THE LIMELITERS:
Nifty, But Three-Fifty
N THIS increasingly electric
world there will always be
groups that attempt to fulfill many
rimages at once. The Limeliters
failed in such an attempt Sunday
night.
Billd as a "more interesting
Kingston Trio," they also tried
to be the Weavers. Alan Lomax
and Mort Sahl, sacrificing spon-
taneity in the effort. An average
quality folk-singing group, they
wer excellent on the "Civil War
Medley" and "Jerry's Rock" and
"Wabash Cannonball" because
they just sang and did not com-
ment or ham up good songs.
* * *
"IF I HAD a Hammer" and
"The Rising of the Moon" were
beautiful and fulfilled the Weaver
image of singing what one believes.
The "Russian Gypsy Music" and
'Sleep Little Baby" were interest-
ing, but the majority of the music
and almost all of the "talk" was
corny or in bad taste.
"Max Golis the Streetsweeper"
was not funny, "St. Bernadette"
was too obscure, "Vickie Dugan"
was silly and "Maids of Australia,"
might have been authentic but
should not have been dignified
with music.
* * *
THE ATTEMPT to dignify ob-
senity and bad music by giving
a "folksy" background to the piece
is prostitution of a legitimate art.
Folksongs represent enduring sen-
timents and actions that are
worth passing on. Most of the
Limeliter's selections were not in
this catagory.
Some songs in the "Mort Sahl"
catagory did succeed. "Adult West-
ern" did an adequate job of sa-
terizing an undesirable aspect of
modern life.
In assessing Lou Gottlieb's hu-
mour, it must be considered that
the audience enjoyed it so much
that it was returned with jest
in the "Hey-lolly-lolly" verses. The
topic of much of the humour was
jibes at legitimate university jar-
gon or consideration of the seamy
side of sex.
The last verse from the audience
summed up th evening: "The
Limeliters sure are nifty, but holy
cow-three-fifty?"

THIS AUTHOR likes to think
the Church'swmessage could be
compared to what is known in the
social and natural sciences as a
model, this term representing a
hypothesis offered in explanation
of different parts of reality. A
model is tested against reality,
found wanting in one respect or
another respect, and formulated
anew.
Reality is so conplex that it can
only be apprehended through suc-
cessive, yet increasingly precise,
approximations. The technique of
the model serves. then a most use-
ful, nay indispensible, research
purpose in that it orders know-,-
ledge and concentrates intellectual
effort. In the same way, the mes-
sage of the Church affords a
"model" for probing powerfully
and meaningfully into the varied
dimensions of man's condition. By
taking such measures as might
better insure the transmission of
its message in the first instance,
the Church thus stands for the
encouragement of a most positive
kind of freedom-the only kind
which really counts in the end-
namely that which promotes in-
dividual and social happiness, and
the full and harmonious develop-
ment of all human potentialities.
* * *
IT IS on the basis of the above
considerations that Catholic in-
tellectuals and thousands upon
thousands of famous converts
down through time have always
maintained - while yet continu-
ously subjecting The Church's
"model" to ever more thorough
and critical inquiry in the process
of their work-that they were ac-
tually most truly free in all man-
ner of intellectual pursuits.
With patience and in the quiet
and intimacy of your own minds,
examine our credentials! has said
the Church to intellectuals in all
ages. This invitation, loud, clear
and sincere, rings out still Today.

ANTI-CLIMAX RECORD:
Traitor,' Rather Tedious
"HE COUNTERFEIT Trator"
is a counterfeit movie and an
excellent example of counterfeit
directing.
The plot, while unoriginal,
would be sufficient if producer
William Pearlberg and director
George Seaton were more true to
artistic standards. A rich Swedish-
American business is forced into
espionage during the Second
World War because of his contacts
with high-level business interests
in Germany.
While there, he meets a lovely
German girl who turns out to be
his best contact. For better espion-
age purposes, he pretends, then
becomes, her lover.
* * *
FIRST OF ALL, Pearlberg and
Seaton try having it both ways.
They want us to believe William
Holden loses everything when he
turnes spy. He doesn't. He gains
considerably.
. In losing a wife who didn't
really believe in him, he gets a
lover who does and gives him the
only real romance he ever had.
He Insults Jewish friends, but they
slip him notes of assurance. More-
over, business was never so excit-
ing.
* * *
HALF WAY through the movie,
producer and director decide to in-
ject "the human element." When
you see someone suffer, you be-
come like a brother, Miss Lfilli
Palmer tells Holden. Five minutes
later they neutralize this by in-
sisting guilt is just as strong.
Miss Palmer gives up the game
because she feels it's worse hurting
innocents than killing Nazis. Since
she quits, it's a good time to get
rid of her. The Nazis discover her
activity and kill her.
From her death to the end of
the movie, 45 minutes or more,
Pearlberg and Seaton proceed with
one of the longest anti-climaxes
ever put on a screen.
What could have been an ir-
triguing spy story, and ever a
moral exercise on wartime beha-
vior, becomes a long, tedious film
by inadept handling.
