New- ton, former president of the In- vestment Bankers Association of America, declared Friday. A luncheon speaker before the Association of Governing Boards of State Universities and Allied Institutions, Newton denounced "the holes being shot through our free enterprise system." As examples, he cited the recent case in which "Big Government displayed its might in anger against Big Steel," the Senate op- position to private ownership of the Telstar satellite, and "feather- 'U' Initiates New]Polic The University, in collaboration with five other state colleges, is offering a special program for as- sisting students aiming at careers as college teachers. The new program, "Michigan Scholars in College Teaching," has been made possible by a grant from the Ford Foundation, which integrates the last two college years with the first year of grad- uate study. Other Members Participating with the Universi- ty are Albion College, Alma Col- lege, Calvin and Hope Colleges at Holland, and Iglamazoo College. Under the program students, who are-selected for scholastic ex- cellence by the faculty members of the colleges taking part, are given special opportunities and counseling in their own schools. The program is designed so that the undergraduate student in the participating colleges will be able to move ahead rapidly and effec- tively in his graduate work at the University. . 'U' Students Eligible Virtually every discipline taught at the baccalaureate level will be open to students under this pro- gram at the University. The student will receive advice regarding preparation to teach in the area of his choice. At each of the colleges a coordinator has been appointed to work with the, student and the appropriate Uni- versity graduate department. It will also provide information re- garding available scholarship aids.+ bedding" by unions in the airlines and railroad industries. Government Growth In a more general context, he condemned the growth of govern- ment activity in the areas of busi- ness regulation, welfare, and spending in general. "This is a far cry from the rug- ged individualism of our ances- tors," Newton charged. "Ours seems to have become the age of the 'common man.' We say with pride in this country that 'all men are created equal,' then we seem to go through life try- ing to keep them that way," he continued. Emphasize Mediocrity "Emphasis is on mediocrity at the very time quality is needed," Newton added. The main thing Americans learn today is "a sense of fear," Newton continued. As one manifestation of this "fear," he cited a letter from 125 professors at an eastern uni- versity, asking the United States to cease its nuclear testing. Horrible War "I believe in God and that he gave us the A-Bomb first to end a horrible war, but he didn't con- template that we would dominate the world. But neither did God ex- poect us to bury our talent in the ground so that others could catch up orget ahead of us," Newton re- marked. He said that, to combat these' trends, colleges should teach: 1) That "rewards go to the in- dustrious, that the backbone of o,1r economy is profits and it is profits that keep the welfare wagons roll- ing," and that "self-reliance is the greatest security in the world." 2) That students should vote and, take part in public affairs. 3) That students should have "the ability to communicate." "If each of us strives to be a living example and articulate spokesman of these beliefs, then1 the Fourth of July will not be just another day of 'independence' but again celebrated as The Day of In- dependence," Newton concluded. League To Show World Fashions The International Committee of the Michigan League will present an International Fashion Show at 7:30 p.m. today/in the Vandenburg Room of the League. The models will be wearing the national dress of their respective countries. Y -Daily-Samuel Haberman SPINE-TINGLING - A spell-binding, hair-raising classic, George M. Cohan's "The Tavern," will be presented at 8:30 p.m. today by the Association of Producing Artists. Continuing through Sunday, the spoof of old-time melodramas is a boisterous account of a mysterious vagabond, played by artistic director Ellis Rabb, who appears suddenly one dark night at a country tavern and comes face to face with a delightful, demented group. Rosemary Harris will play the governor's daughter, a lisping, tittering girl who has a flirtation with the vagabond. Enid Markey will play the governor's haughty wife and Russell Gold will portray the villain. Anne Meacham will appear as "the dark lady" and the pompous governor will be played by Richard Woods. INTERNATIONAL WEEK: Panel Notes American Image Abroad By KENNETH WINTER The University's recurrent con- troversies over academic freedom in Ann Arbor can't hold a candle to the problems of southern schools, as cited in the October issue of Harper's Magazine. An article by Prof. C. Vann Woodward of Yale University, a native of the South, describes ac- tions taken against students and faculty members of 17 southern colleges for their political activi- ties in the past few years. The most dangerous political ac- tivity, according to, Prof. Wood- ward's account, is to advocate or take action for racial integration. Sanctions Imposed However, he also notes sanc- tions imposed for opposition to the House Committee on Vn- American Activities, membership in the American Civil Liberties Union, and the support of "liberal" or "left-wing" causes in general. The motivating force behind most of the actions taken against students and faculty has been "a wave of reaction - led by the White Citizens Councils, the John Birch Society and the Ku Klux- ers," Prof. Woodward reports. He also noted actions initiated directly by southern governors, other state officials, and school officials. Cites Cases Cases cited by Prof. Woodward include: 1) A history instructor from West Texas State College at Can- yon was berated and physically assaulted in the college president's office by a member of the school's board of directors, because the in- structor had spoken against the HUAC film, 'Operation Aboli- tion.' The instructor resigned. 2) A University of Mississippi Law School professor was pres- sured into resigning, because he was an ACLU member and because he defended the legality of Su- preme Court decisions. Faculty Resign Within a two-year period over one-fourth of the Ole Miss faculty has resigned, and all faculty mem- bers are required to produce an- nually a list of the organizations they have joined or supported. 3) Following the 1960 sit-ins in Montgomery, Alabama State College, a Negro school, exper- ienced a wave of reprisals. Nine students were expelled, 20 were suspended, one professor was fired and 17 faculty members resigned. The faculty resignation was triggered by Gov. John Patterson, who went on television to label the professor "a communist sym- Niess To Discuss Campaign Issues The Democratic candidate for state senator from Washtenaw County, Prof. Robert Niess of the French Dept., will speak tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Rm. 3B of the Michigan Union on the "Major Is- sues of the Legislative Campaign." ;.,.- i i i pathizer and racial agitator" and demand his dismissal. Dismiss Students Following these incidents, Ala- bama (followed by Tennessee, Georgia and Louisiana) has in- struced its state colleges to "dis- miss promptly any student . . arrested and convicted on charges involving personal misconduct." Prof. Woodward goes on to note that "the present revival of Mc- Carthyism is by no means con- fined to the South." Summing up, Prof. Woodward writes "the colleges have felt the wrath of the resistance to the (integration) movement because and the fury of the 'Radical Right,' because they have some- times furnished enlightened oppo- sition to the reactionaries." "Freedom to think, to teach and to learn are a standing threat to the program of those who lead the , - I [ ... assault on academic freedom," he adds. Considering solutions to the problem, Prof. Woodward reports that the American Association of University Professors, helped by some Federal court decisions, has been the main fighter for aca- demic freedom so far. He says that the best solution is "an aroused public opinion in- formed by exposure of outrages and abuses." Announce Subject Of Anatomy Talk Dr. J. V. Basmajian will speak on "Muscle Functional and Elec- tromyography" at 1 p.m. today in East Medical Bldg. The lecture is under the auspices of the de- partment of anatomy. By STEVEN HALLER - and JOHN KELSON "The American abroad is his own worst ambassador," Georgina Iwanowski, Grad., said yesterday during a panel discussion of "The American Image Abroad." The discussion, one of a series of events commemorating Interna- tional Week, was moderated by Prof. Martin Needler of the po- litical science department. Other members of the panel were Jorge Garcia-Gouza, Grad., and David Cantrell, Grad. Miss Iwanowski noted that the preconceived ideas most people hold about the American image abroad are not necessarily those which prevail. The popular image of Americans abroad is gained by European contact with tourists and students. Superficial Trips The tourist goes to Europe mainly because he can afford it; he is interested only in flying from one place to another, spending three hours or so in each major tourist attraction and gaining what Miss Iwanowski referred to as a "picture-book guided tour of Europe." The American student abroad, however, goes to Europe to find "emancipation" or "truth." In the process, he "plays at being "Euro- pean," but due to his own ignor- Carnahan To Talk About Computers Brice Carnahan, assistant direc- tor of the Ford Foundation project on computers, will speak on "In- troduction to High Speed Digital Computers and the MAD Lan- guage" at 7:30 p.m. today in Natural Science Aud.

Prof. Needler interjected the Angell Views Atkantic Union By PHILIP SUTIN International strategies and At- lantic Union were reviewed last week in the third of five sessions1 dealing with "Atlantic Union, To What Purpose, In What Form." Prof. Robert C. Angell of the sociology department warned that Atlantic Union might harden Rus- sia attitudes and drive the So- viets to a closer alliance with the Chinese Communists. He declared that the West should remain strong, but not at the same time appear to be threat- ening the Russians. In the long run, Prof. Angell continued, the two blocks will have to learn to live with each other and some sort of "super-society" will develop. This may take the form of international law. Into Soviet Hands Jacques Bude, Grad, warned that Atlantic Union would drive the underdeveloped nations into the hands of the Soviets. He explain- ed that these nations play the short-range interests of Europe against the long-range interests of the United States. "The Congo would be in Russian hands had there been Atlantic Un- ion. The United States recognized that Europe only saw short-range interests and pressured Europe in long-range terms," Bude explained. U.S.-U.S.S.R. Playoff He declared it would be better if the underdeveloped nations had Europe and the United States com- peting rather than the West and the Communist bloc. Prof. Robert L. Nicholson of the University of Illinois, favoring At- lantic unity, said that a federa- tion could result in $30-5O billion savings within 10 years. This mon- ey could be used to help provide the $40 billion worth of capital needed by underdeveloped nations each year. This aid, he added, would keep the neutrals from joining the So- viet camp. supposition that many Americans find it more prudent to cover up their true colors because "Amer- icans get charged more." American Dollar Cantrell pointed out that many Americans hold the belief that Europe's economic existence de- pends upon the American dollar, and therefore expect due consider- ation. Miss Iwanowski attacked this idea as "erroneous," saying that while abroad, Americans should be people first and a na- tionality second. Garcia-Bouza argued that tour- ists are always tourists, no matter what their particular nationality may be. He went on to define a tourist as "one who, when arriv- ing in a new town, complains that there are too many tourists there." The image of Americans and of America are actually two separate entities, Garcia-Bouza noted. He said that even if one does not ac- tually meet Americans, it is im- possible to escape the "pervading influence" of the American way of life. Furthermore, he explained, for- eigners' attitudes toward America often change upon visiting Amer- ica themselves. Many of them re- main here for study or research programs; it is these individuals, Garcia-Bouza concluded, who are truly our best ambassadors abroad.

But adaptation and stag- ing seize a good deal of the freshness and wonder, the earthiness and compassion that the uninhibited singer poured into his poems. It is impossible to sit through a -reading and, theatricalized visualization of lines from "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" without being scorched by their brood- ing grief. It is difficult not to be noved' by Whitman's bitter lamentation on the Civil War and its killing of brother by brother. Yet there aresmoment when the Whitmanesque lyr- icism becomes too heady, and the production becomes too stagy. "We. Comrades Three" is largely a mood piece. There is nothing of usual conflict and characteri- zation, and the piling of emo- tion upon emotion through wordspstrains one's powers of absorption.
