TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1962 NIGHT EDITOR: GERALD STORCH 6a .4 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 / /.('1 .; 'd;: ? ,' , t' . r S , . ,. 4t n 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. -C. D. 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. -THOMAS HUNTER t J1 44 . -C , ;' L Lt A 1 M#no Th OI' e1xsr~ijIw 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. -Bonnie Taylor in a style quite soft and delicate, precise, and in "The Blue Danube DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN The Daily Bulletin Is an official publication of the University of Michigan for which The Michigan Daily assumes no editorial respon- sibility.

(Continued on Page 8) 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?" -Caroline Dow of all areas of human knowledge and the depths. of the problem of man with the help of any and all possible sources. * * * 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. -Paul A. Hudon, Grad 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. -Tom Brien FEIFFER "1 MWUEOF MOB, V+OLJCCCAOO MIT REA1OlOJ TOOQ4R RASED A RIMSTIOJ 4 109 AM-ftAGREE OFA-r16 6oW CA-rOR 10 vOr iq V NO 7ACA K TO IMPAkT Ai U()PP,5AWf1X i6F MMOAL.
