By JOHN WEILER
"Man is a political and social
animal," Prof. Peter J. Stanlis of
the University of Detroit and edi-
tor of "The Burke Newsletter,"
said Saturday in summing up
Edmund Burke's philosophy.
Prof. Stanlis, speaking before
the All-College Conservative Con-
ference held here last weekend,
said that Burke had a complex
though unsystematic philosophy to
explain all the problems of state.
There are, Prof. Stanlis noted,
seven elements in Burke's philos-
ophy: the definition of the royal
limits; the expansion of the leg-
islative sovereignty of the House
of Commons in opposition to the
king; the beginnings of political
parties; the way to maintain Brit-
ish sovereignty and extend civil
liberties; the extension of the
rights and provisions of the British
constitution to all British sub-
jects; the combination of ethical
and legal norms with - prudence
in practical politics; and the de-
fense of the historical order of Eu-
Panhel Alters
Rules on Vote,
For Officers
The Panhellenic Association
Presidents' Council recently voted
unanimously to change procedure
in its officer elections.
Elections will now be condensed
into a two-week period, and an
opening mass meeting will be held
in place of chapter meetings. At
the mass meeting the philosophy
and spirit of Panhel will be ex-
plained and questions will be an-
swered.
A further change is the insti-
tution of district meetings where
all candidates will speak. The sor-
orities will be divided into four
districts in order to create an at-
mosphere for both candidates and
audience more relaxed than has
been possible at the traditional
mass meeting.
In further action, the council
gave permission to .all houses to
bring in members from chapters
on other campuses to help with
rush, if such help is needed.
Also approved was the decision
to allow Junior women transfer-
ring to the University in January
to rush if they so desire.

rope against those who would de-
stroy it.
Non-Revolutionary
Prof. Stanlis stressed that
Burke's philosophy is one of grad-
ual rather than revolutionary
change. His philosophy noted that
the American and English Revo-
lutions were of the former type,
while the French Revolution was
one of abrupt change.
"Burke's philosophy emphasized,
what men have in common," Prof.
Stanlis commented. His concept of
the social contract is continuous
and includes all generations of'
men: the living, the dead, and
the still to be born.
Burke's concept of political sov-
ereignty stressed "the corporate
nature of man," Prof. Stanlis said.
"Man was born into society, and
this society does not mean only
the counting of heads."
For example, the idea of civil
liberties is corporate in nature.
Man is not isolated and does not
have the same freedoms as if he
were isolated.
Concept of State
Burke's concepts of the state in-
cluded a three part, balanced divi-
sion of the state because Burke
believed in moderation of power,
Prof. Stanlis said.
Burke's philosophy also includes
natural law, prudence and posi-
tiveness, Prof. Stanlis commented.
Natural law stated that constitu-
tional and ethical norms govern
society-the popular ideas and the
constitutional ideas are not relat-
ed here.
Prudence said that man would
accept his inheritance, which is
his past history, and work from
there. "What man is born into is
not changed rapidly," Prof. Stan-
lis said.
"It is not an abruupt change
such as in the Congo when one
united government was substitut-
ed for all the local tribal autono-
mies. Prudence also does away
with the idea of a perfect society,
since man can start only from
where history left off."
Three Revolutions
Prof. Stanlis noted that Burke
wrote major works on three dif-
ferent revolutions: the English
Revolution of 1688, the American
Revolution of 1775, and the
Franch Revolution of 1789.
The revival of Burke's writings
which has come about in the last
few years is due to the release of
many of his manuscripts, Prof.
Stanlis said.

"Minnelieder are German me-
dieval songs of spiritualized court-
ly love sung by the Minnesinger,
a poet-musician of noble rank, to
a lady member of the nobility,"
Prof. Harald Scholler of the Ger-
man department states.
"The music is sober and closely
akin to the ecclesiastical scalar
modes; the rhythm is generally
slow and duple in meter. The texts
frequently fall into two categories
-those describing the freshness
and rebirth of the spring season
and the dawn song (Tagelied) or
wachter's song (Wachterlied) in
which a faithful friend keeps a
look out to warn the lovers of the
approach of dawn, when their
night of love must end," Prof.
Scholler continued.
Prof. Scholler explains that to-
night at 8 p.m. in the Multipur-
pose Rm. of the UGLI he and 10
musicians and singers will pre-
sent a lecture recital of German
literature and music of the Middle
Ages,
Medieval Poet
The offering includes discus-
sion and performance of exam-
ples from the output of Walther
von der Vogelweide, the most fa-
mous of the medieval German
poets, of the German epics, using
Das Nibelungenlied as an example,
and of poems and songs depicting
nature and country life, by assort-
ed poets, including Oswald von
Wolkenstein, who, considers him-
self to be the last of the Minne-
singers.
"It is interesting to note that
Das Nib'elungenlied is not Rich-
ard Wagner's source for his late
nineteenth century operatic cycle.
Medieval Epic
He used mainly Scandinavian
medieval epics and sagas. Das
Nibelungenlied tells about no
dwarfs, giants, or gods; it is based
upon historical facts from the
period of the great European mi-
grations of the early fifth cen-
tury," Prof. Scholler points out.
He explains that the musical
instruments used are as close to
the medieval types as possible.
They include the krummhorn, a
double reed relative of the bagpipe
which is named for its character-
istic curved shape; the lute, a
stringed instrument with a body
in the shape of a halved pear and
a flat neck with seven or more
frets; and the recorder, an end
blown flute with a soft and slight-
ly reedy tone.
The lieder tradition extended
into the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, with composers such as
Schubert, Brahms, Schumann and
Mahler being notable contributers
to this form of composition.

"We live in the age of change
and, because we do, it is naive to
imply that the University can es-
cape change," Dean William Ha-
ber of the literary college said to
the President's Club yesterday.
"We spend 18 billion dollars a
year in research and development
of our nation's 'industry of discov-
ery' to make today's materials
and methods obsolete tomorrow,"
he continued.
The consequences of this re-
search have been an "explosion
of knowledge" so large that the
real challenge today is how to
use it.
It has been estimated that a
PhD in mathematics represents

Dropouts -
Adding to the unemployment
problem is the number of drop-
outs in high school. The United
States already has three million
people in the American labor force
who have not gone beyond the
fifth grade and five million peo-
ple will join the labor force by
1968 and who will not have grad-
uated from high school, he said.
"It is increasingly difficult to
get any kind of a job without a
high school diploma. Most em-
ployers feel that as the age of
automation progresses the basic
educational background that is ac-
quired in high school is absolute-
ly essential to handling any job,"
Dean Haber said.
Coupled with the increased drop-
out rate is an increase in the
number of students desiring en-
trance into college. In Michigan
alone, 40,000 high school gradu-

attack on the fundamental rights
of trespass and governmental
neutrality in civil actions,
For the sake of individual free-
doms, self-government and basic
constitutional laws, Barnett called
for a campaign "to get back to
the great and matchless funda-
mental principles which were so
graciously handed down to us by
the wise an dcourageous founders
of this government."
The Mississippi governor called
for a reversal of what he called
the trend toward centralized gov-
ernment in Washington.
"We must no longer remain idle
or complacent. The clarion call
must be sounded for the states to
come to their own defense and ob-
tain a restoration of constitution-
al government," Barnett declared.
He said the state rights issues
involve more than civil rights,
claiming that the federal govern-
ment is encroaching on water
rights in Western states.
Barnett declared that Mississip-
pians do not have the right to
say how to solve problems of the
other states, nor do other states
have a right to solve Mississippi's.
"We certain would not want to
be discourteous in projecting our
ignorance of conditions in other
states because we could not con-
tribute anything worthwhile to
their solution. All- the South asks
is the same simple courtesy from
those who are not familiar with
our problems," he said.
In the question and answer ses-
sion that followed the talk, Bar-
nett explained that most Negroes
did not vote because they "did not
put forth the effort."
He declared that "voting is not
an inherent right, but a privilege"
in Mississippi and cited several
provisions in the election laws.
"About half of the whites are in
the same fix," he added.
