THE MICHIGAN DAILY 'Political rHERE HAS BEEN concern expressed by students who claim that the University is thwarting their efforts to bring "political speakers" to the campus. % One group holds that "if a man holds po- litical office at the time he is asked to speak, it is virtually impossible to get permission for him to speak on campus." Whether or not the student feeling is well-founded, it seems appropriate to clar- ify existing rulings on the matter-if only to give student groups an idea of whom to see and what to expect when making requests for "political speakers." Board of Regents-approved regulations read: "The Comr ' on University lectures shall have ju i: Lion over all public lee- tures and adirm s to be held in the Uni- versity." "The policy of the Board of Regents is to encourage the timely and rational dis- cussion of topics whereby the ethical and intellectual development of the student body and the general welfare of the public may be promoted." Speakers "In furtherance of this policy, the use of University lecture rooms and auditoriums may be granted to recognized student organ- izations for meetings or for lectures on top- ics of the day under guaranty that during such meetings or lectures, there shall be no violation of the recognized rules of hos- pitality nor advocacy of the subversion of the government of the United States nor of the State, and that such meetings and lectures shall be in the spirit and expression worthy of the University." "No addresses shall be allowed which urge the destruction or modification of govern- ment by violence or other unlawful methods or which advocate or justify conduct which violates fundamentals of our accepted code of morals." "Speeches in support of particular can- didates of any political party or faction shall not be permitted." "Any recognized student organization, de- siring the use of a lecture room or auditor- ium shall first apply at the Office of the Dean of Students for a certificate to the effect that the organization is duly recog- nized by the University. If the Dean of Stu- dents finds that the intended use involves a public lecture or address, he shall refer the application to the Committee on Uni- versity lectures; if he finds that other use is intended, he shall determine whether or not such use is consistent with the policies here- inbefore expressed and he shall act on the request." -Milt Freudenheim Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff anid represent the views of the writers only NIGHT EDITOR: NATALIE BAGROW MAN TO MAN: Divide and Conquer DOMINIE Sa p: MEMBERS OF OUR most ancient pro- fession will be guests of the University this week. The ministry comes down to us as the priest and family doctor. First tech- nicians for families, he was keeper of the sacred moments in a community, judge, social leader. As chaplain over such cru- cial stages as birth, confirmation, engage- ment, marriage, sickness, this man keeps the ideal in general thought. This is the office laymen welcome as "The Cloth". His- torically, there stands the clergyman. But what a limited leader today, you say Yes, today, he is one of a long list of pro- fessionally trained men and women. The attorney, the engineer, the public health expert, the social worker, the public ac- countant, the school teachers, the business executive, and a variety of more recent pro- fessional men have whittled away that orig- inal profession. As we have evolved from tribal life to the metropolitan city civiliza- tion, we have directly added to the minis- terial office many technical aids. But in- advertently have we not robbed him of the very sacredness, sensitivity, faith, sense of personal worth, and definite dedication to God which is essential for his success and our welfare? Progress, yes, in analysis. There may have been an unnecessary retro- gresion in synthesis. The events which absorb the minister of religion are challenging. At the altar he stands as the vicar of God. By ceremony, art, prayer, and sacrifice he sets before wor- shipping man some hint as to the inten- tion of the Deity. God's love for man, the cost of human choice to God, man's destiny as a human soul, and the obligations of man in the midst of good or evil, pleasure or pain, virtue or vice, life or death, are the themes on which he must preach. Meeting families within their inner fastnesses, he is a pastor. Where youth promises "I take Thee, Mary, to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this time forth, . . . and forsaking all other . . . to love and to cher- ish so long as we both shall live", he sym- bolizes the Deity. Marriage by the church is a Sacrament. Men consecrated and trained for this profession gather reverent- ly this week to question their own fitness and to inquire into the culture. They may well do so as they gather in Ann Arbor, for last year there were as many divorces in our county of Washtenaw as marriages. Not until that reverent relation to life which we expect of the minister at ordin- ation can be developed in every lay lead- er; will these ministers enjoy the partner- ship they merit. If the pastor is to be able to preside over the last rites of citi- zens with ability to use the ritual, "The Lord gave; the Lord hath taken,-blessed be the name of the Lord", it will be ne- cessary in our Western culture to exalt ev- ery profession, each station of leadership, all business transactions, and the very tex- ture of our civilization to the high level reached by the office of rabbi, priest, and pastor in life at its best and in literature. Every alumnus and students should re- call this week that Michigan began in De- troit in 1817, when a Protestant clergyman, John Monteith, and a Catholic priest, Ga' briel Richard, were named president and vice president, and that both Tappan and Haven, the first presidents in Ann Arbor, were of this profession. No less than four hundred graduates from Ann Arbor, sent into the ministry at home and missionary labors afar, are the earnest of our debt to clergymen who serve in our state and the thousands of worshipping parents who con- stitute Religious Communities. By HAROLD L. ICKES T HE LIBERALS WHO, under the name "Americans for Democratic Action," took such a firm stand at their meeting in Washington on January 4,pretty effectively cut the ground out from under the feet of the Henry A. Wallace liberal group (Pro- gressive Citizens of America) that had met in New York a week earlier. The Progressive Citizens of America in New York tried to eat their cake and have it too, something that it is pretty hard to do. They either lacked' the sagacity to recognize the problem that the communists have created for liberalism or the courage to apply curative surgery. Liberals or progressives whichever they may care to call themselves, who want neither part nor parcel with Communism, even in a diluted form, will now know with which of these two groups to ally themselves, pro- vided, of course, that they will want to join either. Some will elect to remain aloof from both groups, until they can be certain that they can be as free from party machine domination as they are from communistic penetration. The question remains whether Americans for Democratic Action, which was launched with the blessing of Mrs. Franklin D. Roos- evelt, is an organization within the Demo- cratic Party or an independent liberal group not allied with either of the major parties. A unification, regardless of party, in behalf of liberal policies and candidates, is highly desirable. But even if liberals within the Republican party should organize, as like- minded persons have done within the Dem- ocratic Party, there would still be a cleav- age between the liberals of the country that would constitute a weakness. The severe handicap under which pro- gressives have labored in the United States has always 'seen this division of RECORDS THE "POTPOURRI" sort of record album S ontai j.cllan u works by one composer ori cn0 x V workc y df- ferent compoerS f Iein dn an these days L:te' ,'collection is an album of W : i.ns containing some c ag r's miost played and best known works the Pi elude to "Die Meister- singer", "Forst Murmu s" from "Siegfried", Preludes to Acts I and III from "Lohengrin," and the "Ri e of the Valkyries" from "Die Walkure". Tho ecording is by Columbia by the 'i- Symphony under Fritz Reiner' . k' f album is probably an attractive Beginning for the record buyer who wans t obtain xiis favorite overtures, excerpts, etc. without the expense of buying the whole, often unfamiliar, work. For the person who is interested in becoming better acquainted with the whole work after a passing acquaintance with the small ex- cerpt, these collections of the very familiar numbers will probably seem superfluous. In contrast to the obviously designed for mass consumption quality of the Wagner album is another new Columbia release with a much more limited appeal, Beethoven's String Quintet in C, Op. 29 by the Budapest String Quartet with Milton Katims, second viola. It is an interesting example of early Beethoven, the Beethoven of the "Moon- light Sonata". While it is satisfactory from the interpretive point of view, the recording I listened to lacked clarity and was often very scratchy. -Patricia Kennett General Library List -. ,.._.,- -- n l ... ...f ~.. ?,Tn . DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Letiters to the Editor.. 11; their strength between the two major par- ties. This has made it easy for the two party machines "to divide and conquer." As a matter of fact, the machines have not had to do the dividing. The liberals have obligingly done it for them. In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt tried to draw together liberals regardless of party. He nearly succeeded in doing this with the Pro- gressive Party. Perhaps he might have at- tained his goal if the nomination of Wood-- row Wilson by the Democrats had not kept within that party most of the liberals that it already contained. But, following 1912, because Theodore Roosevelt would no long- er carry the flag and because George W. Perkins, who was in control of what re- mained of the Progressive organization, was eager to lead the remnants of the Progres- sives into the Republican camp, the Pro- gressives disintegrated. The late Robert M. LaFollette, of Wisconsin, again raised the liberal flag when he ran for President in 1924. He, too, failed. Later, with high hearts, the liberals flocked t Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932. Now, they are not only divided as between the Democratic and Re- publican parties, they are separated among themselves, with the Americans for Dem- ocratic Action turning a stern face toward Communism and the Progressive Citizens of America apparently willing to be "only a little communistic." PERHAPS IT STILL is not too late for real liberals to form an independent organ- ization free of the dominance of either of the major party machines. The domestic objectives of the liberals are practically identical. The real difference between the two existing organizations is that the Pro- gressive Citizens of America lacked the courage, as it did the vision, to draw a sharp line as to Communism. The only basis on which liberalism can hope to maintain it- self in this country is that of a determined exclusion of Communism. The suggestion made on January 4 that the Americans for Democratic Action was an organization working within the Democratic party, was an unfortunate one which naturally drew protests from some quarters and raised doubts in others. This movement would quickly lose its vitality if it became entang- led with the Democratic machine, with its poll tax states in the south and its corrupt city machines in the north. A political and social liberalism is a way of thinking and hoping. What it needs is some implementation for doing. This need leads to the suggestion that has been made of an organization that would main- tain its identity independently of both par- ty organizations., It would still be possible for party Democrats, as well as for party Republicans, to vote at the primaries of their own parties, and they could later rally to the support of progressive measures and men as liberal-minded citizens.. In my judgment, there is little hope of a liberal party rein- carnating the Progressive Party that had such a brilliant, if brief, career in 1912. There is not likely to be a national third party in the reasonably foreseeable future. In hinting at such a possibility, Mr. Wal- lace is holding out false hopes. I wish that it might be otherwise. But since this can- not be, it would be a pity to evoke a miser- able mirage that inevitably would dash the hopes of those engaged in trying to organ- ize a third party, the failure of which would leave them discouraged and politically list- less for another generation.

To the Editor: In regard to the articles writ- ten in the recent issues of the Daily concerning Gach's "monop- oly," especially that by Harry Le- vine, I wish to submit my views. First let me take up the so-call- ed monopoly. As I understand the term, a monopoly is established by forcing competitors out of busi- ness and preventing newcomers from entering the field. Has Bob Gach done this? I say he hasn't. The field is open to anyone who cares to undertake the task. Secondly there have been com- plaints about his prices. If you recall back in 1942 and up to 1945 the price was 75 cents for the first picture and 25 cents for each addi- tional picture. A fair price by any standard. Since then prices have risen in every line of purchasing and selling and consequently Bob has had to raise his prices to meet the increase in costs of his ma-, terials. This is only to be expect- ed. To continue with this idea, Bob Gach has had to increase his staff which is an added cost. On top of all this he has to make a living for himself as everyone who is in business does. Thirdly the J-Hop Committee, I believe is bringing in some photo- graphers from out of town to take pictures at that dance. I sincere- ly hope that they can offer as good quality as Bob has and at the same prices, but I doubt if they can. These students who were elected under the suspicion of a shady election have no authority to pry into the affairs of a private busi- ness firm which is not connected with the University. Just who are they that they can demand to see the books and decide what is profit? I hereby suggest that the Stu- dent Legislature make a public apology to Bob Gach. That is the least they can do. -Kenneth E. Wandel Liason To the editor: A SHORT TIME ago, while on Christmas vacation in De- troit, I attended a Christmas par- ty in the Union Guardian Build- ing. While there, I was introduc- ed to a young man whose job (as I learned through conversation with him) was "liason between the Veteran's Administration and the Unio Gurdian Building maintenance department." To clarify this title, let me give an illustration. You are an officer working for the V.A. in the Un- ion Guardian Building. A light burns out in your office. You do not call the building superinten- dant; you call this chap whom I have mentioned, who notifies his secretary (she was also at the party), who relays the informa- tion to the building superinten- dant. This gentleman, we may assume, takes action upon the matter, since he does not work for the government. I do not know what my young friend earns nor do I know what his secretary earns-but you can imagine my comments and the comments of my schoolmates upon learning that the V. A. is going to take one dollar and fifty cents of my leave subsistence pay in their newly iniiated "economy drive." -Charles Cline Inspection To The Editor: O ESTABLISH my claim as the first to apply for the po- sition mentioned below, may I re- quest that the following be pub- lished as an open letter? To the Director Local V.A. Outpost Dear Sir: This letter may seem a bit ear- ly, but I realize that the job for which I am applying will be at- tractive to many and you will be swamped with applications. Please understand, Sir, that I am not a crystal-ball gazer nor a tea-leaves fan, but just a hard- working veteran trying to get along. However, being very in- terested in anything that affects my pocketbook, I keep a weather eye on the trends of policy in the V.A. and with no great stretch of the imagination I see that the present course will lead you to a shortage of help with such special talents as I am offering.. It is perfectly clear that the present regulations, namely, fil- ing income reports, benefits on the basis of credit hours earned, and filing reports of cuts, lead di- rectly to stationing inspectors at the doors of the various Univer- sity buildings to check the veter- ans' general appearance, to make sure the ties are straight, the but- tons buttoned, and the space be- hind the ears is clean. After all, a veteran has no right to reflect discredit on the good men Who happen to be in the same veter- anship through no fault of their own. As to my qualifications for the job, I wish to call to your atten-- tion that at one time I was k cleanliness inspector at a public swimming pool. Then too, my wide acquaintance among MPs while in the Army taught me how to be arrogant and officious. Hoping my application reaches you first, I am -P. H. Arnett Masses To The Editor: IN HIS LETTER in Sunday's Daily Mr. Kawas erroneously asserts that those favoring a Jew- ish State in Palestine have argued "that the Arabs welcome Zion- ism," To my knowledge this statement has never appeared in any well-known publication. To use the term "Arabs" wth- out qualification, is to be guilty of an insupportable generaliza- tion. The great masses of Arabs, the workers and peasants, cannot arbitrarily be grouped around with the rich effendis-or land-owners. The former constitute the bulk of the Moslem population and there are innumerable sources which af- firm their welcome of Jewish col- onization in Palestine. That the small aristocratic class, and their organs of expression-the Ar b parties and newspapers-have vi- lently opposed Zionism, all objec- tive pro-Zionists have willingly admitted. Where the riots, strikes, and demonstrations, to which Ms. Kawas has alluded, did take placi, the instigator was either the ef+ fendis, or the British Government' and Colonial Office. The Arab masses did not initiate such ac- tions. Mr. Kawas' emotional tone in his two closing paragraphs is a little touching, but unless one ac- celits the false premise that Pal- estine belongs to the Arabs and is the focal point of their civiliza- tion, traditions, and language, it can have no cogent validity. -Richard P.
