'The Day at the Circus

'HE STATE of Michigan yesterday descended
to a financial and political nadir, and the
ture of the University inevitably fell with it.
In the wake of the Supreme Court's Use Tax
,cision it is difficult to predict when either
stitution will be back in comfortable opera-
on, but only .an optimist would predict quick
covery.
The evidence supporting a pessimistic view,
overwhelming: the ,state is now $100-odd
illion ; in the red and steadily slipping. It has
en estimated the state will lose $80 million
' June if no new tax measures are found.,
Financial losses are, only part of the misery,.
>wever. Michigan's national prestige has been
verely tarnished by a year of political confu-
n, and now further damage seems likely.
T IS NOT wholly fair to say the University
situation parallels that of the state, but an
alogy does exist. The University's financial
ndition has been shaky for three years. Little
no money has been allocated for buildings,
d it now seems certain that the much-de-
ed Institute for Science and Technology will
without buildings for at least one year..
More important, occasional faculty unrest
,s been prompted by the threat of no monthly
ychecks from the State Administrative Board.
ie University has not yet failed to provide
yroll funds for, its staff, although borrowing -
om banks and dipping into student fees has
en necessary.
How much longer the University can con-
iue meeting payrolls without depleting its re-
urces is debatable..
MORE FRIGHTENING question is " this:
How much longer can the University main-
n its position as perhaps the greatest of the
ite universities with only anemic support from
e Legislature? A similar situation exists all
ross the state. Colleges are suffering from
,1k of buildings and classrooms, while the
llege-age population is mounting with fright-
ing speed.'
Without even laying blame, it is legitimate
say the state is at present utterly unprepared
meet the rising needs of its schools.
'his does not mean the University is through
a major institution. It is simply too great
too many ways to quickly fall apart. How-
er, it was two full years ago that University
icials feared becoming a "second-rate univer-
y" if state support was not boosted. That
tement was admittedly made in a time of
sis, but the present crisis is probably greater.
O MATTER what the proportion of the
present problem,. the crisis of 'tomorrow
ich the state and University must face is
n greater. If party lines hold in the Legis-
Lre, a new tax plan could easily be fore-
fled-some 'say until next June.
Phis is admittedly a gloomy prediction, but
it comes to be true, the state will face a
icit of around $200 million, and the Univer-

sity can look forward 'to perhaps the meagerest
of days.
Two more important questions are finally
raised. First, should the Supreme Court have
ruled the Use Tax unconstitutional, since the
result seems to be only further troubles? Sec-
ond, what can be done to mitigate these future
problems and to lead Michigan out of its miser-
able wilderness?y
THE FIRST question must be answered with
an affirmation of the Court's stand, al-
though the Court's motives might be ques-
tioned. The Use Tax, in the opinion of most.
objective observers, was unconstitutional.
It was, moreover, unfair in placing the burden
on low-income, larg. family groups. It was
also inadequate, since any form of sales tax
Is unstable and fluctuates with the level of:
prosperity. However, the Court vote (five Demo-
crats against, three Republican' for) seems to
indicate that party interests overrode judicial
interests in the decision.
The Court decision, in turn, hinges on the
second question: What can be done to improve
the future situation? For the Court decision
prepares the path for a better tax solution
)than the use-business tax abortion which
emerged from eight months 'of bitter feuding
in the Legislature.
IT SEEMS possible now-although no one
predicts anything about the Legislature-
that some form of flat-rate income tax on
individuals and corporations will emerge from
the session which opens this week. Such a tax
form would be a step towards equity and
stability, and is levied in the great majority of
states.'
Need- for a new tax structure is not the es-
sence ,of the crisis of tomorrow, however. The
needs for reapportionment of state electoral
districts and revision of an anachronistic con-
stitution are primary and inescapable. The need
is also great' for the present Legislature to for-
get petty dislikes, party hatreds, personality
clashes--out of a sincere desire to resurrect
Michigan from the land of the fiscal dead.
Non-partisan committees of interested citi-
zens are already forming, and their aid could
prove invaluable in settling the situation. Study
groups are needed to report on the complexities
of the taxation problem, the present appor-
tioning of political districts, and the actual
industrial climate of the state.
The University, in the meantime, can do lit-
tle more than wait, continuing to explain its
needs and purposes to the public. But it should'
be emphasized that the waiting can not go on
too much longer.
A state university is by /definition intimately
tied to its state. If that state breaks down or
drags its feet, the state university cannot func-
tion with full efficiency.
Michigan has clearly broken down and is
dragging its feet. How much longer can the
University continue on the momentum ,of its
great reputation?

HUNGARIANS RIDE CAPTURED RUSSIAN TANK DURING HEIGHT OF REVOLT

By PETER DAWSON
Daily Contributing Editor
N THE DIAG today several
Hungarian students will put up'
a Hungarian flag with the ham-
mer and sickle torn out of the
center. They will be recalling the
third anniversary of the Hungar-
ian rebellion.
University students and teach-
ers will many of them give' the
Hungarians a moment's thought
and pass on. They will think, "Oh,
look at that," or perhaps "good
for them," or perhaps "gung ho."
Hungary is a long way from
here, and it is hard for students
to get wrought up over it during
the fifth week of classes. Yet they
might give it a good, long thought.


THREE YEARS ago the secret
police fired on a group of un-
armed students who wanted to
broadcast on the radio the sixteen
demands of the students of the
University of Technology in Buda-
pest. A crowd of 1200,000, which
had collected at Parliament, went
to the radio station; and found
machine guns in the windows and
dead bodies in the street.
After a while, industrial workers
came in trucks bringing guns.
Within a few hours thousands of
Hungarians were shooting from
doorways, ducking around corners,;
and throwing Molotov cocktails at
tanks.

their action today are not trying.
to act heroic, though they may
have been brave if they were pres-
ent during the fighting. They want
to remind the West of Hungaryls
plight. Executions are still going
on, and demands of the rebels
have not been met; they believe
that no summit solution is com-
plete unless it cleans up the Hun-
garian situation.
Secondly, they want the West
to remember that Russia has
broken many promises in the
past, and that she may or may
not follow her promises in the fu-
ture. We might give them and
their ideas a good, long thought.

HE COMEDY STYLE of the
Brothers Marx is one that oc-
cupies the historical niche re-
served for team comedy 'of the,
punch-press/variety. . . . Harpo
offers charming pantomime (and
an occasional brilliant harp num-
ber), Chico plays a piano with a
technique almost too fast and fas-
cinating to be captured in cinema,
and Groucho constantly edits in
his well-chosen one-liners.
So goes "At the Circus." The
film itself belongs to an era a
weak-legged musical haircurlers.-
Unfortunately, there's a plot
that keeps getting in the why: Boy
can't marry Girl 'until he pays off
the Mortgage on his circus. Enter
Villains. (Why is it that Villains
are always minority-group mem-
bers? In this one, they're a strong
man and a midget.) Villains steal
loot needed to Save The Day. En-
ter legal-eagle Grouncho to Con-
quer All.

age to get off a series of hilarious
scenes, but Boy and Girl must get
their licks in too, and the result
is a "run-like-mad-stop-for-a-
love-song" duel. He stops every-
thing to sing "Three Blind Mice"
or something to her (with an ele-
phant in the background for
mood), and one can im gine the
brothers panting at the cutting'
room door.
If you can out-wait the songs
and production numbers, you'll be
rewarded with a pain in your side
from, laughing at the better scenes.
Eve Arden makes a brief ap-
pearance here and there as a hu-
man fly, and makes the comment:
"Who ever heard of anyone sing-
ing with a horse act?" M-G-M
has, and if the picture has a prob-
lem, this is it.
A fairly competent shooting of
a Tolstoy short story provides the

opener for the program. You can't
miss with God in the title role of
"The Guest," as a religion-deny-
ing cobbler, heckled by his friends,
awaits a holy visit.
Cinema Guild has done worse,
and when the projector isn't flick-
ering, it's pretty good entertain-
ment.

To the Editor:
I AM writing this letter as a
means of expressing my appre-
cition to the Ann Arbor City Bus
Co. I was given an assignment in
student teaching. at 10:50fat Ann
Arbor High School. For about my
first week I had to take a cab out
to school because ordinarily there
are no buses running in Ann Arbor
from 10:15-11:15 a.m. This caused
a great financial hardship.,
I was delighted when Mr. Arvin
Marshall offered to run a special
bus out to Ann Arbor High School
for the benefit of another girl and
me. Lysbeth Hoffman and I wish
to say thank you.

ing toward a definite policy on
discriminatory practices? No one
really seemed to care, at least
enough to discuss it fully.
Other action was routine, except
a motion by Dick Ugoretz to ask
the University to stop impound-
ing bicycles as a corrective mea-
sure to the parking problemh.
Ugoretz believed that student
pressure would effectively solve
any bicycle problem there may be.

HIS MOTION was sparked by
having his own bicycle impounded.
The Council treated the discus-
sion in a, light tone and failed to
take it as anything but a personal
gripe. Whether it did have any
merit was not fully discussed.
The Council session was admir.
able in one respect: the recent.
tone set by certain members of gay
and witty fun was missing. What
little the Council did was done in
a somewhat serious tone, a change
much for the better.
The Council needs a shot in the'
arm badly. It does not seem that
more than two or three candi-
dates now running for the eight-
vacant seats will be able to proL-
vide this.

FTER THE, TALK with Mr. Khrushchev at
Camp David, it was believed in Washing-
that before the Presideht's visit to Moscow.
he spring, there would have to be a meeting
the summit. But before there could be a
eting at the summit there had to be an un-
standing among the Western allies, includ-
West Germany, about the position to be
m. Berlin and the German question are, of
rse, the sticky point, on which a.9 under-,
iding is needed. For it is plain that if and
n Macmillan, de Gaulle, and Eisenhower.
t Khrushchev, they must have a common
cy on how to stabilize the situation in West
lin.
ut this is easier said than done. For there'
n important difference of view between Ger-
ay and France on the one hand, Britain and
U.S.A. on the other. The basic difference
iat we are prepared to negotiate about Ber-
whereas our continental allies do not wish
negotiate anything which would alter the
us quo.
his difference explains the reluctance of
.. de Gaulle td accept the President's pro-
al for a summit meeting of the Western
s. Such a meeting would be a failure unless '
nce and Germany yielded to the President
agreed to treat Berlin as a negotiable
tion. The President would have to insist.
if he yielded to Gen. de Gaulle and Dr.
nauer by agreeing that the status of Berlin
xed, unalterable, and non-negotiable, the
omatic venture on which he embarked last
mer would be wrecked.
ALL PROBABILITY the difference among
ie Allies cannot be resolved quickly. Dr.
nauer is preparing for a crucial election in
, and he cannot voluntarily agree to any-
g which recognizes the legal existence of

French national interest. At least until that
election is over, until Dr. Adenauer has a new
political mandate, Bonn and Paris have a
strong interest 'in not engaging in a serious
negotiation about Berlin with the Russians.
In this country there exists the same differ-
ence of opinion about negotiating. It is led by
members of the Truman administration, by
Mr. Truman himself, Mr. Acheson, and Mr.
Paul Nitze. Their thesis is that the status of
West Berlin is not a negotiable question, that
the right policy for this country is to refuse
to discuss the status of West Berlin, and to.
defy the Soviets to do anything about West
Berlin. 'They think, it would appear, that tie
Soviet government will be over-awed by our
firmness. And if it is not over-awed, they are
prepared to fight some kind of "limited" war.
These retired Truman officials, like old sol-
diers, are in my view trying to relive the battles
in which they won their fame and their glory.
But while they are right in insisting that the
cold war will go on, their preoccupation with
their own past history is preventing them from
grasping and dealing, with the new phase of the
cold war. A rigid and unchanging diplomacy.
which is what they advise, will not work in the
present phase of the cold war,
IT WILL NOT WORK because it compels the
country to oppose all moves toward accom-
modation. This is an impossible platform from
which to exercise world leadership. Moreover,
this negativism contains within it an ugly
thing, which is quite evident and quite well
know. everywhere. This ugly thing is the belief
that without perpetual tension and fear the
democracies cannot be'induced to support the
necessary armaments, or trusted not to appease
the adversary and to sink into cowardice and.
lethargy. What lies at the root of this thing
