The choir, composed of seven men and eight women, performed music by the 16th century Spanish composers Antonio de Cabezon, Francisco Guerro, Cristobal de Morales, and Tomas Luis de Victoria, the famous and prolific student of Morales. Following the first intermission were excerpts from the scenic cantata "'Catulli Carmina" by the contemporary German composer Editorials printed in The Michigan Daily express the individual opinions of staff writers or the editors.

Negotiation in Foreign Policy 'li ALMOST ANYONE can tellthe difference be- tween Democrats and Republicans in Mich- igan. Democrats favor a graduated income tax and expansion of state support for education, hospitals and such.. Republicans favor non- graduated consumer taxes and a constriction of state expenses. The situation is not so clear on the national level, at least as far as foreign policy is con- cerned. This does not mean an absence of any difference of opinion at all. People on either side of the cleavage can be found among Re- publicans and Democrats alike. THE MAJOR ISSUE in United States foreign policy is how best to prevent the' Soviet- United States conflict from leading to a major war. Two answers have evolved. The first, pi- oneered by the Truman Administration and championed by the late John Foster Dulles, placed its eggs In the basket of United States military superiority. The policy involved form- ing a string of military alliances, increasing army expenditures, raising an occasional mushroom cloud, and refusing to negotiate with the Soviets where any military or terri- torial concessions might be involved. Paradoxically, the period in which the 'strength' policy has been in effect has been that of the greatest expansion of Soviet in- fluence, and one of a shift from United States military supremacy to perhaps a slight edge for Russia. AS ONE RECALLS the many crises during the period of "strength diplomacy"-Korea, Berlin, Suez, Quemoy - one sees the image of a Truman or a Dulles firmly swearing that we refuse to negotiate because we stand on prin- ciple, but when the time comes to dole out aid to a few "friendly" dictatorships, our principles were somehow bypassed. Meanwhile the sands of supremacy were sliding from beneath our feet. We were gradually left holding a leaky bag of principles which may ,have been un- sound to begin with. The second view of world problems has fa- vored direct negotiation with the Soviets. This view clashes with the strength position on two counts. Firstly, negotiation means the United States has got to give up something in order to get something 1. return and nothing is ever given up from a strength position, regardless of the consequences.. Secondly, the negotiation supporters are wiling to take the once-unpopu- lar stand that the Soviets can be dealt with, that lasting agreements can be made, and that they cannot outsmart us at the conference table. Most important, this group seems to feel that the Soviets may genuinely believe that peace and disarmament are to their own ad- vantage, for such conditions would offer them a chance to catch up with the United States in industrial output. Just what the Soviet leaders believe is a question for experts, and it is interesting to note that two of our leading experts in Rus- sian affairs favor the negotiation position. The pair, George Kennan and Charles E. Bohlen, were both United States ambassadors to the Soviet Union. Another foreign policy expert, Presidential advisor Emmet Hughes has called for serious top-level negotiations with the So- viets in which the United States might give up the Chiang Kai-shek myth and deal realis- tically with the German problem. Hughes' in-_ fluence is apparent in the changes in policy since Dulles' death. THERE IS much that the United States would like - freedom guaranteed in West Berlin, an end to border violations with Red China, inspections accompanying any disarma- ment agreement, withdrawal of Russian troops from East Europe, and American professors in Russian Universities. There is much that we can offer in recognizing China, consenting to unification in Germany, and removing Ameri- can overseas missile bases. The time may be ripe to "talk turkey" with the first Russian premier who seems cocky enough to put his wits to the test at the conference table. Spokesmen like Saturday Review editor Nor- man Cousins and philosopher Bertrand Rus- sell have undermined the strength philosophy by asking exactly what we can hope to achieve by emphasizing arms development when the United States and Russia each already possess the capability to completely obliterate each other several times over. Others,however, have defended the Tru- man-Acheson-Dulles doctrine as a program which has shown the Russians that force will be met by force. Perhaps it has prepared the way for the newer negotiations approach in which proposals are met by better proposals. A President who could sit down at spitting dis- tance from Nikita and hammer out air-tight agreements could inscribe his name in his- tory -and benefit his country. IS SUCH a President a possibility? It is a tribute to Eisenhower's sincere desire to aid world peace in whatever way possible that he has shown a recent readiness to try the con- ference table. But his term will expire before his abilities in this enterprise will be given a fair test. Among his possible successors, Republican and Democrat alike, there are still loud advo- cates of the older military supremacy view. Nelson Rockefeller has joined Harry S. Tru- man in the chorus calling for renewed test- ing of nuclear weapons. Senators Johnson and Symington also seem to favor the reliance upon military strength. However, there are two statesmen who have come out in favor of an emphasis upon cau- tious negotiation. The pair, Hubert Humphrey and Adlai Stevenson both speak from experi- ence since they have already held long meet- ings with Khrushchev. It is most interesting to note that the front-runners, Nixon and Kennedy, are still uncommitted (at least pub- licly) on this most important question of our time. But if the next election is to prove to be more than a Madison Avenue circus, every- one will have to make some kind of a decision. -MARC PILISUK The Senior Column ByCharles Kozoll I do not want my house to be walled in, on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be in other peoples' houses an interlo- per, a beggar or a slave. PERHAPS very few of the over 5,000 people who attended the World's Fair last weekend saw the sign which contained that inscrip- tion. Its position was hardly incon- spicuous nor was the print hard to discern. It rested on a wall and was part of the Indian students exhibit. As the students and townspeople moved through the displays from a different culture, they may have missed the words of this great statesman. Some of the throng may hay been eager to see their. names written in Hindi, but per- haps just a small number of the curious absorbed the pertinent sig- nificance of what Gandi said so many years ago. THOSE WHO were struck by the insight portrayed through his simple yet meaningful words might have realized that World's Fair and the preceding International Week had in one small way at- tempted to breath the spark of reality into those words. In that short period of time, perhaps "the cultures of all lands had been blown about . . . as freely as pos- sible." During the rest of the academic year, the free interchange be- tween the international student. population and the rest of the campus community is unfortu- nately quite limited. Americans are too often unwilling to exert enough initiative to find out about the "fellow from Pakistan who lives on my corridor" or the "girl from Korea who sits behind me in lec- ture." * * * AND IF the indigeneous popula- tion is unwilling, perhaps the visi- tors from abroad are a little bit timorous of plunging directly into the weird Ann Arbor social com- munity. Instead, they choose their own nationality groups and create a microclimate of language and culture. Last week however the two groups met on a common ground at the Union. Representatives from 18 nations presented samples of their native culture, distributed pamphlets, sold foodstuffs and met the people who came to the fair. Perhaps the most ideal situation for personal interchange was pro- vided. The atmosphere was free of political intrigues and verbal gym- nastics that appear when the "leaders of nations" gather to set- tle mutual problems. * * * THE CARNIVAL atmosphere pervaded and people were prone to wanter aimlessly through the rooms. They sampled the alien cultures from a distance. The fair hopefully gave the once apathetic people a desire to fur- ther their international contacts on a continuous basis. Carl Orff. The final portion of the concert included a choral arrange- ment of the "Five Spanish Songs" by Manuel de Falla, "Ancient Basque Songs," and three charm- ing encores. THE INTONATION of the Pam- plona Choir was uneven through- out the concert. Orff's "Catulli Carmina" suffered particularly in this respect. Inaccuracies of pitch which escaped notice in the 16th century Hispano - Flemish poly- phony wereunavoidable in Or's monophonic archaisms. Except for the de Falla "Five Spanish Songs" and the Ancient Basque Songs," the diction of the Pamplona Choir was often incom- prehensible. Again, the . "Catulli Carmina" was weakest in this re- spect. The dry rhythmic character which Orff imparts to Catulli's Latin syllables was nonexistent. If the program notes under- stated the nature of the "Catulli Carmina" by referring merely to "erotic love scenes," the choir gave it the most unlascivious perform- ance imaginable. The nicest thing to be said about the Orff is that is was lyrical. * * * COMPLAINTS were raised about the choir being too small and, at times, nearly inaudible. But the real problem was that the hall is too large. The Pamplona Choir is too well-voiced to justify criticism of its size. Like the recent New York Pro Musica concert, the Pamplona Choir should have been presented in Rackham Auditorium. To the credit side of the con- cert, the music of Guerrero, Cabe- zon, Morales, and Victoria was performed with restraint, auster- ity, and the same Spanish Catholic emotional fantasy characteristic of the Spanish painting of the time. It is this admirable restraint which is frequently lacking in per- formances of this music by our own too large and overly enthusi- astic choral societies.. The timbre peculiar to the Span- ish voice was heard in the fine vocal solos of the de Falla Spanish songs, and though not quite so appropriately, in the Orff "Catulli Carmina." Perhaps the outstanding quality of the Pamplona Choir is their almost sotto voce pianissimo en- semble sound. With this well con- trolled low dynamic level, sections of the Morales "Sanctus" and Vic- toria "Responsorium V" were sheer magic. In the short, antiphonal, first encore (one of the brightest gems on the program) this quality was used as an, echo effect. It was this encore, and the ex- quisite Victoria "Responsorium V" which remained as the memorable events of the concert. --Jacqueline Leuzinger -,Gordon Mumma PINK? What's For The Sixties?

(Continued on Page 5) '+',.r "( University Scared? OBERLIN COLLEGE held its National De- fense Education Act loan funds for nearly a year before taking the final giant step -- sefiding checks covering the loans back to the federal government. On the other hand at the University, stu- dents, faculty members and administrators have all voiced objections to the loyalty oath and disclaimer affadavit requirements. They have recognized "definitive difficulties" (what is a "subversive") and have formulated strings of arguments which testify how insulting it is for members of the academic community to be forced into taking these oaths. As is usual here, words have spoken louder than actions. Complaints continue, but so does utilization of the federal government's funds. THERE IS, of course, the possibility that the University, as Oberlin, feels a lack of re- sources and consequently must rely on federal funds in order to meet student demands for loans.

In fact, one administrator revealed that no student having both the finan- cial need and the academic qualifications was denied a federal loan. Rather, some who could be served better by small loans that can be repaid quickly were advised to apply for Uni- versity rather than federal funds. Certainly, then, a lack of funds has not necessitated use of the federal loans. Why then does the University accept the funds? PERHAPS ONLY a limited number of "radi- cals" have objected to the oath require- ments. Maybe students, faculty members and administrators at the 'University do not, on the whole, object to either the oath-taking requirement or use of the federal funds. Student Government Council, National Stu- dent Association and Faculty Senate action seem to indicate otherwise. There is the possibility that the University does not have the courage to carry out its convictions. Just as some persons shudder at the very suggestion of hiring such a contro- versial figure as Charles Van Doren to teach English here, others may fear repercussions of returning "objectionable" NDEA loan funds. The University's name would be played big on the front pages, and as a result people could withdraw gifts and scholarship or loan funds. The piggy bank could hit a new and dangerous low. Worse yet, the University would be leaving behind an old, honored and practiced tradition --conservatism. -NORMA SUE WOLFE New Books at the Library , LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Generation Review Sparks Irate Retort To The Editor: As a former Managing Editor of Generation and as a former critic for The Daily, I hope I am un- biased enough to state without partisanship that John V. Hago- pian's review of the new Genera- tion filled me with alarm. I am not one to bandy about such terms as "cute," "arch," "snobbish," and "distasteful," but Mr. Hagopian's cute, arch, snob- bish and distasteful critique has, forced my hand. In reading his re- markable statement that a good story "has more fine things in it than anyone has a right to ex- pect from an undergraduate," I wondered with alarm what gloomy twist of fate has made this man a teacher of undergraduates. Let us consider the following: Mr. Hagopian, on the basis of one short chapter, has decided to pass judgment on all of Al Young's unfinished novel. Of course, he has only read a few pages, but he doesn't think Mr. Young should finish it. May I sug- gest that such criticism is not only intellectually pretentious, but, in fact, dangerous? Mr. Hagopian also makes a great fuss about whether Generation is supposed to be an "international journal." Why didn't he dig the cover? It says, clearly, "The Cam- pus Inter-Arts Magazine." Per- haps they should write it in the sky next time. Mr. Hagopian lets us know the cover is "awful." What a triumph One could go on and on finding debris in this sea of offal, but per- haps it is best to relax and apply some of our critic's own words to his unusual review. Truly, "there is some hilarious comedy, though it, wavers uncertainly between subtl- ety and slapstick." Long may he waver! --David Newman Mutilated . . To The Editor: SUNDAY the 14th's Daily treated us to a whole handsome page of pictures of new military hard- ware. "America's Missile Might," the caption said. But it did not say how they are mighty, or what me in his "Seven Arts" column is perhaps a matter for Mr. Young to explain, but why The Daily al- lowed it to be printed is a matter of great concern to any student who looks to this paper for re- sponsible reporting. Since transferring here from. Hofstra College, I made the ac- quaintanceship of Mr. Young just once at a Generation Magazine meeting, where he rejected by biographical essay on New York's Pee Wee Marquette. However, I found his criticism valid and sen- sible, and I also enjoyed his knowledgeable discussion of the works of a new poet, Mirah Rap- poport, at the same meeting. With Compliments . To The Editor: NOTED with interest your squib in Friday's (6 Nov.) College Roundup article regarding the al- leged sinking of Cornell Univer- sity's new Olin Research Library currently under construction, It is obvious that we who were duped-including the local radio stations--were not alone. Appar- ently such hoaxes of this sort oc- cur occasionally and are rather the accepted practice here. This leads me to observe, that although one can very often legiti- mately question the accuracy of statements appearing in The Daily, the reader is nevertheless con- fident that he will not be the vic- ,I
