THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, FEBRUARY ' 13, 1960 THE MICHiGAN DAlI 1' SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1960 VISITOR FROM ITALY: Sardi Discusses Communist Threat Sandro Sardi, an Italian spend- ing a month at the University during a year's visit to the United States discussed his ideals on the West's approach to the Communist threat. "We do not have thercorrect understanding in the approach to ha Communism Is," Sardi said. "We have our own categories and try to dispose of the problem within these groups. "For example, it is said that Communism is a religion. We fit: communism into our idea of what a religion is and should be and decide that it is a false religion.1 This is not meeting the problem head-on, for we are not facing Communism on its own ground." Should Study Communism "I believe we should study Com- munismf(or any other problem for that matter) carefully to see what it is about and what makes it work. I feel we must study the Marxist method of interpreting historical events and analyzing economic structures not simply byE themselves but by trying to followe up their development in the his- tory of the Communist party. t SANDRO SARDI . . . Italian visitor "The West needs a working al- ternative to Communism if it is to answer the Communist challenge effectively." Sardi then said that in Italy capitalism is not effec- tively meeting this threat. 'I I ISA VALENTINE MIXER on SATURDAY, FEB. 13 from 8:30 to 12:00 of Hillel Foundation, 1429 Hill St. "Italy's economic difficulties can briefly be summarized as follows The industry is in the north, and the south must be developed so it will have the money to buy the output being produced in Milan, Turin and the other large cities. The only ones that have the capital to invest are the large cor- porations, but they have invested their capital in other industries- many in other countries. "These manufacturing interests have been creating difficulties for the government in developing the outhern regions. Go to Peasants "Italy's Communists do not merely say 'You will be happy under Communism,' but go to the southern peasant and say 'Capital- ism is not working here, here and here, and Communism can arrange things so that these problems can be solved. "I do not believe under the present state of affairs that the ;ommunist party will take control :f the Italian government, but it will remain in strong and growing minority until capitalism or some other system can be made to oper- ate effectively in Italy. "The Church's stand on Com- munism has put the church in a! precarious position. Almost all the Italian population is Roman Catholic, and by a Church decree, to vote for the Communist Party means automatic excommunica- tion. Church Acts This means that about one- third of the Italian electorate has been excommunicated. Sardi will speak on the church's position next Friday at Curtis Room in the First Presbyterian Church and will also speak Tues- day on "Communist Impress on Religion" at 4:15 p.m. Auditorium A, Angell Hall. To Resolve Court Action (Continued from Page i) started a chain of events which led to note writing." He said that in other morals cases the crime is determined by what "the common sense of so- ciety determines is indecent. "It would be a sad comment on the morals of the people of this community if the type of activity referred to in the transcript did not in the mind of any reasoning person be as gross an act of in- decency as may be contemplated in the average run of mankind." In his motion for dismissal, Con- lin had challenged the concept of defining "indecency" by subject- ing it to the "common sense and morality" of the community. "It appears to me that this concept of leaving it to the jury to decide what they think the crime is that has been committed is not constitutional. "This means that in a fringe case a jury here might think something is a crime, but some- where else they might not think it is a crime." Tots Learn To Utilize Toothbrush Ann Arbor's second, third and fourth graders learned this week the "Michigan theory" of brush- ing teeth. The trick-brushing downward on upper teeth and upward on lower teeth. The side of the tooth- brush presses against the gum, then rolls so that the bristles clean the teeth. Student dental hygienists from the University explained this "roll method," which was started here, to children in more than 115 Ann Arbor classrooms during National Children's Dental Health Week. Helps Gums What makes brushing teeth by "roll" better than other ways? Prof. Major Ash of the dentistry school, who is chairman of the health and welfare committee for the Washtenaw Dental Society, explains: "The toothbrush mas- sages and stimulates the gum tis- sues as well as cleaning the teeth. It doesn't injure the gums or wear away the teeth." Prof. Ash says the "cross brush- ing" most people use harms the teeth, making wedge-shaped de- fects at the base of a tooth and causing atrophy and injury to the gums. He warns, though, that regular brushing does little to stop tooth decay because the biggest cause of decay is in-between-meal snacks. Sugars Harmful The dentists aren't sure what causes decay, but the most widely- held theory holds that "excessive sugars in the diet are utilized by bacteria and in doing so they break down sugars into acids which in turn break down the teeth." This decay theory was formed several years ago at the Univer- sity with the help of the dentistry school's former dean, W. D. Mil- ler. "We know from experience we can control decay by limiting sugar in the diet," Prof. Ash de- clares. The dental hygienists urged the school children to try not to eat snacks between meals and not to eat a lot of candy. By BEATRICE TOEDORI Recently, Luis Antonini, '60E, president of the Venezuelan Stu- dents Association, received a letter from the Venezuelan government, congratulating the association for its work in furthering American- Venezuelan relationships. He also received an article from "El Nacional," the largest paper in Caracas, commending the group F EnIa~emts on its work and promising com- plete support of its activities. The two projects which brought the Association this praise are its radio program and its Spanish magazine, both named "Venezuela en Michigan." May Be First The program, which began in January, may be one of the first such shows presented by a campus nationality club, said Antonini. It is heard from 5 to 6 p.m. Sundays, courtesy of station WHRV. News, music, social activities and interviews are announced in Span- ish and English. Material for the show is invited from other Latin American countries as well as from Venezuela. Among the guests who have been interviewed are James M. Davis, director of the International Cen- ter, Robert Lado, director of the English Language Institute, Rob- ert B. Klinger, IC program direc- tor, Walter J. Emmons, associate dean of the engineering college and Prof. Robert P. Weeks of the engineering English department. Member-Produced The entire show is produced and directed by Association members. Regular announcers are Manuel Tovar, '62E, Luis Castillo, '62E, and Emilio Franco, '61A&D. In the fall of 1959, the Associa- tion magazine was printed for the first time. It is sold and circulated among the 200 Venezuelans living on campus and among other Span- ish-reading students. Edited by Rafael Gonzalez-Sirit, "Venezuela en Michigan" comes out bimonthly. The fifth edition will be available at the end of February and will carry articles in both Spanish and English. It is also managed and written entirely' by the Association. Antonini believes the Venezuelan population at Michigan is a large and impdrtant one. Through these projects he said the Association hopes to show Americans that Venezuelans have much to offer in history, music, politics, and lan- guage, and thus to further under- standing between the countries. To Seminar In Summer The eighth international Stu- dent Relations Seminar for out- standing University students will be held at the University of Penn- sylvania this summer. Approximately fifteen people will be chosen by a regional sele - tion system to attend this semi- nar. Final participants will re- ceive scholarships which will cover all transportation and room and board expenses incurred during seminar activities. Interested students may see Pat Backman, '62, in the Student Ac- tivities Building. Homeland Praises 'U' Venezuelans' Work YS 11 ,&;Zirl ; ; . .
