Democrats: A voiceless party Saturday, July 18, 1970 For Direct Classified Ad Service, Phone 76 12Noon Deadline Monday through- Friday, 10:00 to 3:00 THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1970 News Phone : 764-0552 Fleming i using the war as a- scapegoat UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN President Robben Flem- ing should not be so harsh a critic of the failures of Vietnam war policy. After all, the war provides Fleming and his colleagues a ready scapegoat for their own fail- ure to maintain discipline on the campus. Fleming went at the scapegoat again this week. Tes- tifying before the President's Commission on Student Un- rest, he attributed the problems of the campus to "exter- nal causes" - mainly student opposition to the war. His statement revealed a lack of knowledge of the history of campus unrest and of the psychology of that unrest. rHE TURMOIL BEGAN at the University of California at Berkeley, ostensibly over the issues of free speech and campus political rights and long before the deep U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Despite conciliatory gestures - or probably because of the obsequious nature of these gestures - by the university administration, the so-call- ed Free Speech Movement swept through Berkeley and onto other college and university campuses. It was clear that the leaders of this movement really did not want to achieve stated goals but rather sought to assure constant turmoil by escalating demands whenever it appeared that previous demands were about to be met. Trouble itself was the main goal. Not until later was the Vietnam war introduced. It was introduced not as the essential reason for unrest but as an effective propaganda vehicle on which the entire movement could ride. S. I HAYAKAWA, another witness before the commis- sion, came nearer the t r u t h with his observation, "Much of the cause of student unrest is more psychologi- cal than rooted in events themselves." A generation containing some bored, pampered and tyrannical young people has entered the colleges and uni- versities both as students and faculty members. These people welcome any action that diverts them from their lessons. How much hope can there be for those who have eyes but refuse to see? President Fleming and many other ed- ucators who keep blaming the war and other external causes should look to their own failures as administrators and to the real character of the movement that threatens to destroy their campuses. -THE DETROIT NEWS July 17 NIGHT EDITOR: DEBRA THAL IT HAS begun to appear as if Democratic Chairman Law- rence O'Brien is destined to serve as TV stand-in for the next Democratic Presidential nominee until the summer of 1972. The formula is unlikely to provoke any panic in the Nixon camp. But it dramatizes the strange condition of an opposition party that pos- sesses many real issues, an abund- ance of talent--and no single, dominant figure who can be call- ed its spokesman or whose voice can be clearly heard in a crowded room. The incongruity was dramatiz- ed the other night when CBS granted the Democrats 25 minutes of free time in response to pro- tests over the Administration's domination of the air.An uncon- ventional format was devised for the reply: the Democrats offered fragments from Nixon's public ap- pearances minglednwith docu- mented critique and sardonic commentary. But it is far from clear t h at they won this oratorical contest in real political-terms. Their pre- sentation was entrusted to O'Brien, obviously to avoid fric- tion among those who are visual- ized as contenders for the 1972 nomination. But O'Brien's -gifts have long been of a behird-the- scenes operative. His performance was flat, pedestrian and mirth- less. In fact, the excitement of some of the settings in which Nixon was shown accentuated the blood- lessness of O'Brien's rendition. THUS THE DEMOCRATIC dilemma in the "equal time" bat- tle is that they may win many skirmishes with the networks and lose the national political argu- ment. Certainly O'Brien cannot long serve as the opposition's mouthpiece. He is primarily a skill- ed technician who has served many men-from John F. Ken- nedy to Lyndon Johnson and from Robert Kennedy to Hubert Humphrey-and his lack of pro- found conviction is reflected in his adaptability to all these sud- den changes of command. It is also transparent on television. A certain detachment from ideological quarrels has long been viewed as the prime requisite of a political engineer. Whether that proposition will prevail in t h e atmosphere of the '70s may be uncertain. -There is already res- tiveness about the national com- mittee's relationship to the Demo- cratic Policy Council. The emer- gence of Robert Strauss, a John- son-Connally protege from Texas, as committee treasurer is hardly calculated to inspire the ardor of liberal Democratic contribu- tors, especially amid the wounds created by Ralph Yarborough's defeat in the Texas primary. But the real problem extends beyond the committee. One as- sumes that no personal vanity or suppressed visions of TV glory have induced O'Brien to assume the star role; he has been long accustomed to the managerial life. Yet he seems to be slowly taking the spotlight because of the dif- ficulties in designating a party spokesman for such events. IT HAS BEEN AMPLY demon- strated that such Congressional leaders as MikerMansfield Iand Carl Albert will break no Nielsen rating records. In traditional cir- cumstances Hubert Humphrey, as the last Presidential candidate, would have a prior claim. Dur- ing most of the Eisenhower years, it was generally recognized that Adlai Stevenson was the voice of the opposition - and an elo- quent, gracious, witty one. But Humphrey's commitment to the Vietnam war in the Johnson era and his alienation from many new Democratic voters have left him far too vulnerable to assert a position of uncontested leader- ship. There remain the many arti- culate-Senators - among them George McGovern, Ed Muskie, Ted Kennedy, Harold Hughes, F r e d Harris and (when he chooses to speak) Eugene McCarthy. Of all of them, Kennedy might by now have almost moved front and center, but Chappaquiddick chan- ged the timetables. Surely any one of them would -have performed O'Brien's TV act with greater success if varying distinction. But who would have agreed on whom without seeming to yield some precedence in the 1972 sweepstakes? While they might be persuaded to draw lots for rotating roles, the available time is limited and there might be many petty disputes. Meanwhile, John Lindsay, who could probably offer the most appealing TV re- buttals to Nixon's foreign a n d domestic policies, is disqualified from equal time appearances for the present by his non-member- ship in the opposition party. IN THESE LEADERLESS hours the Democrats might be will-ad- vised to modify their stress on equal time and exert larger pres- sure for the revival and expan- sion of that old-fashioned institu- tion known as direct debate. The networks might clear the air by initiating major moves in t h a t direction. As suggested here be- fore, these need not be restricted to elected officials. A series of prime-time confrontations be- tween Ken Galbraith and Henry Kissinger ,for example, might be more illuminating than some of the equal time exercises now be- ing devised. As a super-special, Spiro Agnew might be lured into the ring with J. W. Fulbright. Other intriguing match-ups could be quickly conceived once the show got on the road. ©New York Post FOR RENT VM TABLE-MODEL -Stereo, mahagony cabinet. Olivetti portable typewriter with case.

Ask Silva Thins nadjice cohodac p.5 to SOMETHING OUGHT to be done to the American Tobacco Company for hiring Batton, Barton, Durstine and Os- borne to do their Silva Thin ads. And then something ought to be done to BBD&O, as they call it on Madison Ave., before it creates any more baddies. "Cigarettes are like women," BBD&O tells us. "The best kind are thin and rich." This is perplexing and disgruntling. Perplexing because it took two days of long distance calls to New York to find out who would accept blame for this ad. And disgruntling just because of what the ad says. THE AMERICAN TOBACCO Company receptionist was quite helpful Thursday when she told me that BBD&O was the Silva' Thin agency. First she had thought the ad was done by Norman, Craig and Kummel-NCK in the ad world--but double checking revealed BBD&O as the culprit. So, I got BBD&O's number in New York and Detroit and tried the Detroit number first because it's closer and consequently cheaper. Detroit, however, said that Silva Thin was not their ac- count but did I want to know about Tareyton's which is? I didn't and instead went right to the top and called New York. The New York office likewise told me that "there must have been some mix- up." BBD&O does not do Silva Thin commercials, and it probably is NCK that I want. By this time it was too late to try NCK, so yesterday morning I gave them a try and, lo and behold, they told me, it was BBD&O who is, in truth, the creator of the notorious commercial. Completing my fourth call to New York, I waited anxiously to speak with the top account man to clarify once and for all who was the mastermind be- hind the ad. Well, he wasn't in, but his secretary did admit that BBD&O was the right place for the information I wanted. She told me the ad-man would call me back. He didn't, so that's that. WHY THE FUSS over the commer- cial? It's simple--the ad makes a sweep- ing value judgment upon a Hollywood, fairyland stereotype for women that just isn't so. This thin, rich woman is best, they say, best in terms of appealing to men because she is what they all want. Apparently, after picking up a Silva Thin a woman, is supposed to feel -thin and rich and attractive even though she knows she's the same as she was five minutes ago only now she's holding a cigarette. And men as soon as they smoke their Silva Thins, presumably feel as though they are with that thin, rich woman they're supposed to adore. It follows here that if one isn't a thin, rich women, then one is not going to find a man because all men like the same kind of woman. Isn't this somewhat ridiculous? Does every man'really like thin, rich women? How does one know if this type is Best? Best for whom? For what? Are mon- ey and-the shape of one's body the only things that matter and is an abundance of the former and a moderate amount of the latter the best combination? There are, of course, no -absolute an- swers to these questions because there are no universal criteria for one sex at- tracting the other. There may be many- men who prefer thin, wealthy women and probably just as many who like. them chunkier and don't care about their financial status. WHAT IS SO disgruntling is t h a t BBD&O apparently doesn't take this into account, but advertises instead through a snappy but.falacious assum- ption. Their commercials are of t h e same ilk as the Charles Atlas aren't- you-sorry-you're-a-99-lb.-weakling ads. These imply that if you're not a mus-. clebound giant no woman would be in- terested in you. Again, this may be true for some wo- men, but certainly not for all of them. And to imply that millions of people are inferior or deficient because they fail to conform to certain stereo types is most unfortunate and repugant. Perhaps BBD&O could try this slo- gan some time: "Cigarette ads are like garbage. The best kind are dumped and ditched."
