JUST AS THE LABEL on the product often deceives the customer,
so do the ads for "Girls of The Night-And Their Men" can easily
lead the moviegoer into thinking that he is going to see something hot,
spicy, and oh, so French. Only the most naive would miss the poster's
point that these "Girls" are tried and true members of the world's
oldest profession. If the moviegoer buys his ticket with the intention
of seeing as much female epidermis, he will be sadly disappointed for
this film does not concentrate on the girls' exteriors, but rather their
interiors.
The story line deals with a priest (Gil Vidal) who is running a
rehabilitation center for streetwalkers. He has to struggle with one

SIIC CANDIDATES

P REVIOUSLY we have been critical of the
field of candidates now running for Stu-
dent Government Council.
We have been so because of our sincere con-
viction that the present candidates as a group
are less capable of contributing to SGC than
others in the past several years. However, the
better the voters understand the assets and
defects of the candidates, the better it is for
.he Council; it is our hope to aid this under-
standing.
We do feel that there are five candidates in
the field who could make a positive contribu-
tion to the Council.
S* *
AL HABER has, in the past year, proven
himself one of SGC's most valuable members.
His series of motions on Academic Freedom
and his motion establishing the Orientation
Study Committee are illustrative of his imagin-
ation, thoroughness and clarity of thought.
Haber has proven himself an able debater
and a responsible representative of the best
interests of the Council and the University. He
has consistently demonstrated his apprecia-
tion and grasp of the problems and principles
of student government. These, coupled with
his great willingness to take on much time-
consuming work, well qualify him for re-elec-
tion to a seat on the Council..
NANCY ADAMS has been SGC's outstand-
ing committee chairman for the past semester.
She has directed the Student Bicycle Auction,
the Willopolitan and the other student service
projects of her group with a steady hand.
In addition, she has shown a desire to do a
thorough job of serving the student, a desire
exemplified in the student opinion poll on the
role of the Council she is now conducting.
Miss Adams would bring to SGC a solid
knowledge of SGC's committee structure and
a firm orientation toward communicating with
the Council's constituency.
We feel her capacity for hard work and clear
thinking would warrant her election to SOC.
* *
LYNN BARTLETT, although a freshman, has

demonstrated during the campaign an under-
standing of the problems and potential of stu-
dent government.
He has applied himself conscientiously to
filling in the gaps in his knowledge of specific
details of campus issues; there is no reason
to assume he will not apply himself with equal
energy and conscientiousness to the problems
coming before the Council in the coming year.
Election of Bartlett would, bring badly need-
ed young blood to SOC.
* * *
BABS MILLER has consistently and effec-
tively expressed her concern with SGC's de-
caying relationship with the student body, and
in so doing, has shown an accurate grasp of
one of the Council's greatest problems. Her
suggested solutions, including' an SGC sug-
gestion box, are apt.
Her suggestions for an expansion of the
orientation program and the outside discussion
program, and her comment that driving stick-
ers should be required for cars, not drivers,
show considerable thought applied to SGC's
areas of concern.
She gives every indication that she will be
an effective and dedicated Council member.
* * *
BILL WARNOCK seems sincere in his de-
sire to work for better student government.
He conducted a campaign based largely on in-
dependent speaking engagements, in addition
to a few appearances at SGC-sponsored open
houses.
Warnock is concerned about SGC's current
lack of prestige. He believes one method of
bettering it is to increase the service functions
of the Council, and better publicize those cuir-
rently carried out.
He seems to realize that being a Council
member is hard work, and that work is what
is needed to bring SGC back to a position of
respect. We believe he will work conscientious-
ly as a Council member, and he seems to pos-
sess the intelligence to do a competent job.

the respectable hypocrites in the
stupidity and cynicism of the girls
themselves.
"Girls of The Night" is not a
pretty or glamorous film for it
vividly and graphically paints the
picture of the prostitute as a bit-
terly unhappy, unloved creature
caught in the vicious situation of
not being able to learn how to
earn their livelihood in another
manner because they are fallen
women.
* * *
ONE OF THE few paths out of
this situation is the priest's center,
which a few take; but even then
their past catches up with them
when, in order to wreck the center
and its work, the lawyer has
poison pen letters sent to the girls'
"respectable" employers who fire
them.
As a serious, thoughtful attempt
at examining a social problem this
film merits an A: but unfortu-
nately it uses devices straight out
of Pearl White for its climax.
The acting level from bit player
to star is consistently excellent,
especially Kay Fisher and Claus
Holm as a pair of star-crossed
lovers in a flesh factory.

AS OTHERS SEE IT:
WhihRoeetfor the Democrats?

(EDITOR'S NOTE-The Daily pre-
sents here a two-part series, of
articles on possible future develop-
ments in the liberal wing of the
Democratic Party. The articles orig-
inally appeared in The Economist,
an English journal devoted to world
politics and business.)
ONE OF THE oddest sights in
American politics today is that
of liberal Democrats trying to de-
cide which President Roosevelt was
their spiritual ancestor. The ques-
tion is raised by Mr. Arthur
Schlesinger, the Harvard historian
and author of "The Age of Roose-
velt (Franklin Delano, that is)
in a lively memorandum which has
been circulating among Democra-
tic leaders.

Mr. Schlesinger, who sees Amer-
ican political history as a series of
pendulum-like swings from con-
servatism to liberalism and back,
makes two assertions One is that
the United States is due shortly to
emerge from its spell of conserva-
tism, made incarnate in President
Eisenhower, and to move into a
period in which liberals can get
things done again. The second is
that, if they want to make the
most of their opportunity, the
liberals would do well to look to
the example of Theodore Roose-
velt, the progressive Republican,
rather than to that of Franklin
Roosevelt, the Democrat.

TODAY AND TOMORROW
Leadership of the west
By WALTER LIPPMANN

THE PRESIDENT has now been shown that
the flattering reception which he received
when he went recently to Bonn and Paris did
not mean that they accepted his leadership.
Within the past week both Gen. de Gaulle and
Dr. Adenauer have in fact dissented from and
have come out against the new policy which
the President decided upon last July. To be
sure, both approve in principle the exchange of
visits and the prospect of a summit meeting.
But in fact each is opposing the ideas which
are the substance of the new policy.
Gen. de Gaulle has done this by reviving the
older doctrine which the President broke away
from last summer. The General wants to post-
pone a meeting as long as possible, in this case
uitil the spring when, with the nominating
conventions about to choose the President's
successor, Gen. Eisenhower will be very near
the end of his full influence and prestige. Gen.
de Gaulle, moreover, does not want to .treat
the meeting in the spring as an engagement.
He wants to treat it as a prize which Mr. K.
must in the months to come win by his good
behavior. During these months we, or at least
he, are to judge whether Mr. K. has earned the
prize.
Finally, if the French view prevails, a summit
meeting is not to be an attempt to negotiate
a few useful agreements. It is to be a grandiose
diplomatic Armageddon. There is to be "a
confrontation between East and West that could
be decisive for peace."
This is a recipe for accepting the President's
policy in principle and obstructing it in fact.
ADENAUER'S TACTICS are the same. In
principle, he too is in favor of a meetuig
with the head of the Soviet government. But
he proposes to censor what may be talked
about at the meeting. He would like to exclude
from the agenda the' problems of Berlin and
of Germany! He thinks the negotiations should
be limited to the subject of controlled nuclear
and conventional disarmament.
To this one is bound to say that when the
German Chancellor does not want to negotiate
about German problems, it is fair to conclude
that he does not want to negotiate.
As we and our British ally do want to nego-
tiate, particularly about the security of West
Berlin over a fairly long period of time, there
is no denying that opinion within the Western
alliance is divided. This division has come
about, to put it frankly, because of the change
in American policy which the President decided
.pon last summer.
Before that, there was a certain amount of
critical dissent by the British. But American
policy was the same as Dr. Adenauer's, and was
ndeed profoundly inspired if not controlled by
Dr. Adenauer. We and he both thought that

it would do harm to negotiate seriously with
the Soviet Union. We were both of us for "re-
unification" but on terms which we knew made
-reunification impossible unless by some miracle,
the Soviet Union could be brought to an uncon-
ditional surrender.
AS LONG AS WE followed a policy that was
inspired by him, Dr. Adenauer agreed with
us. But now he does not agree with us because1
we have altered our policy, and are groping
our way towards a serious negotiation.
As we were moving away from the old policy
-which in fact we began to do in the last
month of John Foster Dulles's life-Dr. Ade-
nauer and Gen. de Gaulle formed a partner-
ship which has as one of its objects the main-
tenance of the status quo.
This partnership is now challenging the
President's leadership of the Western alliance.
Bonn and Paris are entitled to do that, and it
is evident that we are not going to quarrel with
them over the leadership of the West. Indeed,
there are many Americans who would say that
if there is to be a settlement in Central Europe,
the Europeans should play the leading part
in it.
But before it comes to a settlement Bonn and
Paris should ask themselves whether they are
prepared to exercise the leadership of the
Western alliance. On European questions they
can have that leadership if they can carry the
burden of it. It is not something that Ameri-
cans want for the sake of prestige. The leader-
ship of Western Europe is a heavy burden
which Americans have been carrying since the
second World War because no one else has thus
far been able to carry it.
The basic fact is that the defense of West
Berlin, of Western Germany, and of metropoli-
tan France, depends upon the United States.
The German forces and the French forces are
a screen and a tripwire. But that is all they
are. On this country rests the whole responsi-
bility for deterring the use of force in Central
Europe, and of waging the war if it comes to
war.
HAT BEING the case, it is inescapable and
unavoidable that in any question which is
crucial to the defense of Europe, the last word,
after all due consultation, must be with the
United States. We have the ultimate military
responsibility and as long as we have it, we
cannot divest ourselves of the ultimate diplo-
matic responsibility.
It would, therefore, be imprudent if Bonn and
Paris were to take over now the leadership of
the Western alliance. Since they are unable to
carry that burden, it would be a mistake for
them to assume that this country will carry

Let's Put the Me' Back
In Student Government,

-Daily-James Richman
I'M FOR EVERYTHING ... ESPECIALLY ME!

FOR A QUARTER of a century
the New Deal of the second Roose-
velt has given the Democratic
party both its definition of liberal-
ism and the same kind of theoreti-
cal unity that the Thirty-Nine
Articles give to Anglicans. But in
the last few months more and
nore Democrats have begun to
suspect that it will no longer serve
for either purpose.
Last November's election slowed
down the progress of this idea.
Since the party was able to win
,a resounding victory on the
strength of its opponents' mistakes
and Mr. Eisenhower's undisguised
weariness - at that time - with
life in the White House, Democrats
who said that the party ought to,
think afresh about its own aims
could not make their plea sound
very urgent. But the "new Eisen-
hower" has exposed the divisions
among the old New Dealers. The
party's national chairman, Mr.
Paul Butler, has no better claim to
call himself a New Dealer than
its leaders in Congress, Senator
Johnson and Mr. Rayburn, whom
he attacked with such vigour last
summer.
Even the avowed liberals dis-
agree about the meaning of the
word. There is a blooming crop
this season of- "practical" liberals,
"down-to-earth" liberals and now
-Mr. Schlesinger's offering --
"qualitative" as distinct from
"quantitative" liberals. If this goes
on, American politics will disap-
pear in a froth of inverted com-
mas.
* * *
TiERE ARE , two reasons ,why
the New Deal is no longer a use-
ful model for Democrats. In the
first place, its character was
shaped by the economic collapse
which brought it about. The New
Deal consisted of a series of emer-
gency measures, many of them
quite unrelated to one another,
which were designed to deal with
a crisis involving problems most
of which no longer exist. It is dif-

ficult to think of circumstances
as different as the chaos of 1933,
and the plump well-being of 1959.
In the second place, the New
Deal was the product of a special,
and fragile, alliance. The middle-
class intellectuals who followed
President Roosevelt down from
New York to Washington in train-
loads at once made common cause
with the trade unionists and the
farmer's representatives; it is
doubtful whether their sons find
these contacts equally congenial.
* * *
TODAY'S LIBERALS often look
like characters in search of a
theme. They are a roughly identi-.
fiable group; they include about
25 Senators out of a total of 100,
and perhaps 130 members out of
the 437 in the House of Represen-
tatives. These are men who share
the American liberal's classic en-
thusiasm for civil liberties, includ-
ing those of Communists, and for
the rights of Negroes; they add
to this the belief that the federal
governments responsibilities at
home and abroad require it to ex-
pand the pi4blic sector of the econ-
omy, if necessary at the cost of
some consumer comforts and if
necessary - whisper it -- by Im-
posing extra taxes.
For these people, who believe
that the main task of the next
Administration will be to galvan-
ise America out of complacency
so that it will undertake a major
reallocation of its resources, the
period of the first Roosevelt is
more relevant than that of the
second. It is necessary to turn
back to the first decade of the
century to find a President who
was able to rally a prosperous and
stable nation - as distinct from a
disorganized and impoverished-
one - to undertake reforms in the.
name of the national interest.
Hence the strange device, "Theo-
dore!," which Mr. Schlesinger
stitches on his banner.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
writer Questions Prejudice Statements

To The Editor:
IN MR. FREDERICK Nahabe-
dian's letter of Oct. 30, he
makes the statement,
"Are not race and religion, in-
tegral components of the total
personality of an individual? Is
not the color of one's skin or the
nature of one's god an inseparable
part of one's personality?"
When Mr. Nahabedian makes
such a statement, it would.seem
that he is in some way seeking to
justify the fact that because a
man has a black skin or worships
in a synagogue, he is "different."
Race or religion indeed has its
effect upon the personality-both
on the personality of those in the
minority group and on the per-
sonality of those who are preju-
diced against the minority group,
But the "race and religion" factor
in the personality manifests it-

rority membership, attendance at
a school, etc., one is taking an
infinitely variable "personality
factor" and replying it with stereo-
typed, repetitive behavior. Mr.
Nahabedian cannot convince me
of his point until he can show me
why I should treat a Negro or a
Jew any differently from anyone
else because that Negro or Jew
acts differently from anyone else.
Race and religion seem to me to
be such variable factors in the
personality, and affect people in
so many different ways, that they
become valueless as standards by
which to judge .another person's
character.
It might prove interesting if in-
stead of treating those with dif-
ferent color skin than ours as if
they were "different," we treated
only those who were prejudiced
against such people as "different."

Socialism in Russia. As a matter
of fact, the system in Russia bears
a close similarity, to capitalism.
Neither system represents the in-
terests of those who have to work
for a living.
In these United States, the
means of life are owned by a few.
In Russia, the STATE, NOT the
working class, owns the industries.
In contrast to the systems of
capitalism and Russian Stateism,
I prefer Socialism as recommended
by the Socialist Labor Party
wherein there will NOT be any
politicians, bureaucrats and capi-
talists.
It is true enough that the peo-
ple of the world are sick and tired
of war and desire peace. How-
ever, as long as we have competi-
tion and economic rivalry, the
threat of war will continue to
plague mankind. The thing to do

Homecoming Committee, we would
like to mention two blunders made
in the relationship between the
Committee and Adams House.
a) The week that petitions for
Homecoming -displays were due, a
member of our;house haipened-to
pick up an interesting circular in
the Union. It turned out to be an
official Homecoming petition form,
which he showed to our House
President. They were the first two
persons in the House to learn any-
thing about Homecoming petition-
ing.
b) After three weeks, we finally
received our first letter from the
Homecoming staff, caustically ad-
dressed to "Housing Units Not
Contributing to the (Homecoming)
Booklet." This dispatch verbally
rapped our knuckles for not con-
tributing $2.00 to support the offi-
cial booklet.The contributionnwas
