PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNE :O4Y, JANUARY 15, 1947 Integrated Education THIS IS an era of record-breaking college enrollments. The State of Michigan is keeping pace with the nation-wide move- ment toward more higher education for more people, but many Michigan residents may still be deprived of a college education. The educational institutions involved are aware of this unhappy situation, as are the state legislators. The University of Michigan has done an incredibly good job of stretching its facili- ties to accommodate over 18,000 students, but its administrators must be shaking their heads over the prospect of an increase of 1,600 more seekers after higher learning. Every college administrator in the state is in the same quandary, wondering just how wide the doors to higher learning can be opened without pulling them off their hing- es, so that quantity supersedes quality. State legislators will soon have the op- portunity of taking another constructive step toward solution of the problem. A seven-man board appointed by the State Legislature last year to consider the ques- tion of accomplishing a better integration of the state-supported system of higher education has recommended that experts be employed to make a survey of the situation calling for an appropriation of from $25,000 to $50,000. Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. NIGHT EDITOR: EUNICE MINTZ This board, composed of representatives, of seven institutions maintained by Michi- gan which are all now proposing extensive programs of expansion, was appointed to consider the trend toward the basic college curriculum as pioneered by Michigan State College and the demand for close-to-home education illustrated by the establishment of junior colleges supported by local tax- ation. Subjects which might receive attention in the survey proposed by the committee of educators include the following: 1. The geographical availability of higher education to Michigan students; 2. The cost at various institutions to both themselves and the students; 3. Possible duplication of educational ac- tivities in the state, such as in the study of forestry; 4. The adequacy of the physical plants at the various institutions; 5. The role of junior colleges. It has also been suggested that the place of the University of Michigan in the whole scheme of education in the state be care- fully considered. Many persons, for example, believe that the University should become a transfer institution specializing in ad- vanced and professional work, while others suggest that the enrollment be limited. With the Legislature placed "on a spot" financially by the sales tax amendment, it is to be hoped that this very necessary study will not be stymied for lack of the needed appropriation. -Natalie Ragrow Columnists COMPETITION is now open to editorial columnists, music, book and record reviewers who wish to write for The Daily this spring. Articulate students representing every shade of opinion are urged to submit sample columns. Opinions of columnists will be judged on the criteria of clear-thinking and eloquence. They will not be selected to represent the personal views of The Daily staff or editors. From those samples submitted which are satisfactorily writ- ten, columnists will be selected to repre- sent more than one major section of campus opinion. Student columns will appear either two or three times weekly. Columns should deal with 1-issues on this campus; 2--issues of direct interest to students. Three sample columns must be sub- mitted by each applicant, in the editors' office (second floor, Student Publications Building) before Monday, Feb. 10.

Spanish Question To the Editor: 1lISTORY and Democracy have one quality in common: both sides of a question must be pre- sented in order that the people may get nearer to the truth, al- though they may never know the absolute truth. For this reason I hope that you will publish this letter in your paper, as an answer to the statements by Professor Arthur S. Aiton on Franco Spain, reported in the Ann Arbor News. 1, Professor Aiton makes an ac- cusation, but does not prove it: the Communist Party domination of the Republican government. We would be nearer the truth, if Professor Aiton would state: a) how many Communist deputies (representatives) were elected to the Cortes in the February, 1936 elections. b) how many Commun- c ""_-m. .,m : -___- - - - C , iL4U4d t.aS y d _.: J31, _ l .

Men like Prof. Pollock in the political- science department have long been asking their students to fill out questionnaires at the end of each semester to provide them 1 with the "consumer's" viewpoint which they can use to improve their own effectiveness.- The Student Legislature Academic Com- mittee's faculty grading questionnaire, which includes an evaluation of the instructor's presentation, his organization of the ma- terial, his ability to arouse interest in the subject, his fairness in tests and class dis- cussion, his integration of the course with other fields of study, and the general effect that he produces on his classes, has met with considerable student support on the campus. Psychology 31 students, on whom the ques- tionnaire has been tested, indicated that I'D RATHER BE RIGHT: they do have constructive suggestions to make concerning their classes. Although this method of presenting the instructor with a constructive criticism of his teaching has met with the approval of many faculty members, it could not be put into effect in the literary college this se- mester. This should not deter any faculty mem- bers who are personally interested in im- proving their classes on the basis of such student suggestions and criticisms. Sample copies of the student questionnaire can be obtained from Mary Benson or Mar- ion Riegal, or the individual instructor can make out his own or simply ask the class for their anonymous criticisms. This procedure can have the dual ad- vantage of both strengthening the instruc- tor's position by pointing out to him the weaknesses of his class and of improving the educational standard of that class for students in succeeding years. --Tom Walsh Conservative Program By SAMUEI GRAFTON AMERICAN conservatives, like American liberals, have a unity problem. The right doesn't constitute a single happy family, any more than the left does. It is perhaps symbolic that the first event in the new Senate session was a quarrel among con- servatives. The issue of whether to seat Bilbo arose during the opening hour, and it split the conservative bloc down the mid- dle, with Northern and Southeri wings shooting hate looks at each other. It is perhaps also symbolic that American con- servatism couldn't settle the matter, but left the issue open, saved by Bilbo's cancer. There will be other quarrels. House Re- publican leaders, mostly pro-Dewey, are re- ported to be preparing a "party bill" on labor, to curb unions and limit strikes; its passage will be made a matter of high party strategy, and every Republican member of the House Labor Committee will be ex- pected to sign it. This is said to be a tactic aimed against Senator Taft, who is con- sidered by some pro-Dewey Republicans to have got his own name too closely and ad- vantageously linked with the labor issue. They fear, perhaps, that Taft may benefit, as a candidate, by receiving credit from the right for any new labor restrictions, and credit, also, from labor for any possible amelioration or softening of the blow. To put through a "party" bill would take the play away from Taft, as an individual, and yet it would not pile the onus for anti- labor activity on Dewey, who is, convenient- ly, in Albany. Meanwhile Taft's Senate Labor Commit- tee itself has said little so far but "ahem!"; the committee is known to be sharply di- vided on what to do about unions; and in all this elephantine maneuvering one senses the tensions, pulls and fears mounting in conservative ranks, as the hard grapple with reality replaces the easy smoking-car con- versations of yesteryear. AND, in Albany, Governor Dewey reads the Republican legislature a sermon on the need for publicly-subsidized low-cost housing. That is a strange word, indeed, to come from the Titular head of the party to the conservative faithful. The GOP, as a the contradictions and, divisions set up among political men as they try to square the narrow conservative dream with the abiding and vote-generating realities. It seemed so easy, not so long ago, in discussions in parlor and bar-room, for a victorious conservative party to fall upon Washington in force, to de-welfarize gov- ernment, cramp the unions, and then spend a happy year banging liberal heads against nearest walls. During the first week there has been rather-more banging of conservative heads; and suddenly it is an open question as to whether the shoutings, hootings and jokes of a year ago really do make up a program. The conservatives were perhaps lucky not to have had power during the years of de- pression and war; a thought which will never be uttered in a speech, but may per- haps pop up in the private minds of men of the right, as they face each other and try to strike an obscure balance among what they want, what is valid, and what is opportune. (Copyright, 1947, NY. Post Syndicate) THE American Government is sponsoring at an international conference now meeting in London a suggested Charter for an International Trade Organization. This proposal is the outcome of sustained search- ing by American and foreign experts for an agreed statement of principles to govern the trade policy of nations. Its terms ex- press a stubborn will to draw countries into a joint program for the reduction of trade restrictions; and they reflect a dogged judg- ment that the most satisfactory basis for trade is world-wide and unmanaged com- petition. It is impossible to condense the detailed prescriptions of the many articles of this Charter satisfactorily. But the basic eco- nomic conceptions which shaped them are easily identified. They are: (1) that gov- ernments should reduce all types of restric- tion imposed on imports and exports; (2) that each should abstain from actions which would cause products produced within their territories to be offered in foreign markets -ahnrioQ r tof nr.rncnnnd~n,- xvnfli ln- THE PRESENT exhibition in the galleries of Alumni Memorial Hall sets forth the work of Le Corbusier, French architect, painter and philosopher. His writings on functionalism in architecture have had world-wide circulation and acclaim. Le Corbusier is always classified with such contemporary architects as Walter Gropius of Germany (now Professor of Architecture at Harvard) and the Austrian, Mies Van der Rohe (now of Chicago). These three more than any others are pioneers of the functional style. They believe in pure func- tionalism, and their search has been for the simplest, most efficient and most starkly expressive solution of an architectural prob- lem. Opposite this triumvirate is a group of American, Scandinavian and Dutch archi- tects headed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Eliel Saarinen and Dudoc, who have a more esthetic approach to their architectural problems. They are more romantic, at least their work reflects an alertness to questions of harmony of surroundings; i.e. spirit of place or country, as well as an alertness to texture of materials. They preach functionalism, but as the proof is in the pudding, this latter group might be classified as romantic-modernists to differentiate them from the more austere modernists of the Corbusier-Gropius brand. However, when one views the current showing of Le Corbusier, it is realized that his work is riot as starkly cold and mechan- ical as his preachings would make us believe. He is an artist, and the fact that a room full of his paintings is part of the current show greatly aids the visitor in appraising the quality of the man. True, said draw- ings are not romantic compositions, they are human little sketches as well as ab- stractions. However, Le Corbusier's fame is due to his activities as architect and city planner, and this exlibition shows photographs and reproductions of drawings of his work. They include the Swiss Dormitory of the Uni- versity of Paris, Villa Savoye near Paris, drawings for the League of Nations Build- ings at Geneva, and a city plan for Nemours in North Africa. The visitor soon becomes aware of his versatility and is told again and again of his genius. It is a first rate piece of advertising for one of our great contemporaries in architecture. Perhaps it is over-done and the visitor inay feel that there should ,be more photographs and ad- ditional views of his work, not quite so much bally-hoo. Nevertheless, it is an excellent show, and Michigan should be proud to be on the list of institutions that have an opportunity to view it. Here is a phase of modern art that is a true reflection of our mechanical age. It can be seen in a few spare minutes with- out going to New York or Chicago. Eyery student should see it; not merely Fine Arts student and Architects but Engineers and students in the Humanities. Here is the architect that not only France and England, but all the Latin Americas are talking about. -Ralph W. Hammett ONE AMERICAN in every six harbors trichinae, the wicked little worms that may get into us if we eat undercooked pork and bore through our muscles, giving us pains like rheumatism and perhaps even killing us. Most well-raised, well-cured pork is free from these parasites, but the meat of hogs that have been fed on uncooked garbage is very likely to contain them, stated Dr. Norman R. Stoll of the Rocke- feller Institute for Medical Research, in the course of his address as retiring presi- dent of the American Society of Parasitol- ogists. -Science News Letter (Co(l 11ud hurom P : ) Ec; Lean, 18 AH; Madden, 1007 AH; Maliche, B Haven; MeCen- nen, 1025 AlH; McKean, C Haven; McLarty, D Haven, Merriman, D.

Commu isi. ormed the cabinet after the political reshuffling fol- lowing July 18, 1936. d) how many Communists headed the different cabints since then. e) how many Communists are rep- resented in the present Republi- can government in egile 2. Professor Aiton does pot say that: before 1936, the Union General de Trabajadores (so- cialist, with a little over a mil- lion paid members) and the Confederacion Nacional d e Trabajo (anareho-syndicalists, with about a million and a half paid members) formed a pact, to which the Communist Party (about fifty thousand members) was no party; that in 1937 an- other pact was formed without the said Communist Party; that on July 18, 1945, the Allianza de Fuerzas Democraticas (Alli- ance of Democratic Forces) was formed WITHOUT the Com- munist Party. 3. Professor Aiton has not told the whole truth about Franco's aid to Nazi Germany: he is care- ful not to say that there was a whole division of Spanish-Fascist soldiers (the Blue Division) fight- ing our ally, Russia. He does not mention that from December 7, 1941 till shortly after Mr. Hayes arrived in Spain, Franco and his Phalanx was blatantly pro-Nazi, or that articles were published in Arriba, the Phalanx news-organ, against the United States and in favor of Nazi Germany and Fas-- cist Italy . 4. Professor Aiton lauds the program of Christian Socialism in process of realization. It is not Christian: it is a dictatorship of the Catholic Church. If it were Christian, it would separate state from Church, allowing Christian to live in harmony with the dic tates of their own consciences. Franco assassinated many Pro- testants and Masons; and those still alive are either in jail or live in exile, or are practising hypocrisy. Since 1941, Franco has decreed that all teaching, espe- cially in the universities, must be according to the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas. It behooves me to ask Professor Aiton, the K. of C. or the Heirarchy of the Cath- olic Church, or the Pope himself, what they would think if the U.S. government should make it a law to teach our young men and women only according to the' ideas of Martin Luther, or per- haps to be really American, ac- cording to 'the teachings of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy. The Franco building program, the social se- curity, the health insurance, etc., are patterned after the Nazi and Fascist regimes. And they are all under the supervision of the Catholic Church and dominatd by this religious institution . 6. The program of the Spanih Republic -is superior to. thatof Franco's government. Global. un ity and peace depend on the num- ber of nations whose respective governments are more akin to each other. The Constitution of the Spanish Republic is very much like our Constitution, while Fran- co's day-by-day government is very different from ours . 7. I agree with , Professor Aiton on only one point: that Spaniards do not want any- body to interfere in their af- fairs. If that day should ever come, and our government and the British government prom- ise not to interfere de jure and de facto in the ensuing civil war, so that no one is allowed to enter Spain, and also promise that no American and/or Brit- ish troops will be sent to Spain "to protect the lives of Ameri- can citizens or British subjects," Franco would not last one week. ----Fi a ProessoE ribano Asocate Profesor of --- Society of Automotive Engi- Seminar in Applied Mathe- neers: 7:30 p.m., Rm. 318, Michi- matics 3 p.m., Wed., Jan. 15, 317 igan Union.
