NIGHT EDITOR: DICK MALOY
Class Election
T OMORROW is election day for students
in the College of Engineering!
At that time, those interested will go to
the polls to vote for class officers for the
coming year. Judging from past perform-
ances, not very many students will be in-
terested.
In December 1945 exactly 1756 students
voted in the legislature election; in 1946 it
was "less than 2000" which amounted to
about 15% of the student body. In March
1947, with the war over and registration in
the University climbing, there were barely
3,000 votes cast. This term with a record
enrollment in all colleges of the University
the vote for members of the Board in Con-
trol of Student Publications brought out
2,340 interested persons.
Too often this attitude is one which is
carried over into later life. Percentages on
participation of eligible persons in elections
in northern states show college students
with one of the poorest records.
How important has the individual vote
been in past campus elections?
Looking at the record we find that in the
last election a seat on the publications
board was won by the margin of one vote.
In the same election, a tie in the balloting
for the positions on the Soph Prom Com-
mittee resulted in the enlargement of the
committee to satisfy both candidates.
An organized minority, by taking ad-
vantage of student apathy can swing an
entire campus election involving the repre-
sentation of over 18,000 students with a few
hundred well-placed votes. Only by carrying
over the battle strategy that woh the war
can we defeat an organized clique: "A good
offense is still the best defense."
Class representatives will be chosen in the
College of Engineering tomorrow for the
coming year. Let's make it real representa-
tion this time by a strong showing at the
polls!

Music
HE WESTMINSTER CHOIR, under the
direction of John Finley Williamson,
presented the fifth Choral Union concert
last night.
Opening with two motets by Palestrina
and Bach, the choir sang rather raggedly
at first, as individual voices stood out and
occasional entrances were fouled.
The concert improved increasingly, how-
ever, with a well-sung piece by Liszt and a
sacred work by Schubert. One of di Lasso's
few secular songs was marred only by a
couple of minor mistakes and a Brahms
motet was sung with good balance and ex-
pression.
After works by MacDowell, Delius and
Nicolau, the choir reached its peak in the
Handel selection, "Haste Thee Nymph," a
setting of Milton's poem which was done
with verve and gayety.

WE LIVE in a world haunted by the ghost
of an old love. There was that moment
during the war when most of mankind stood
together. We cannot quite forget the feel-
ings then stirred, the flood of books which
rushed from our presses, dedicated to a
new mystique of global democracy. I wrote
a couple myself; I reviewed twenty; I did
it over again in a thousand columns.
Now some try to recapture the same
feeling through the Marshall Plan, the
emotion of men and nations rallying, the
common cause, the hard and clear ob-
jective. Some do it, too, with notable suc-
cess, and clear sincerity, for if the motives
of a man like Henry L. Stimson, say, are
not good, and for the good of all, then one
simply does not know how to judge people
any more.
Yet something is missing, down at
bottom, in spite of good motives, for
is only a partial program for part of
world, expected to produce not peace

MATTER OF FACT:
Soviet Speech
By JOSEPH ALSOP
BERLIN-The most significant single epi-
sode in recent months here in Berlin
was a lecture delivered by Marshal Sokolov-
sky to his German economic and production
experts. The Marshal unburdened his sore-
ly tried spirit behind closed doors, at the
Soviet headquarters at Karlshorst. By now,
however, the substance of what he said is
accurately and reliably known in the head-
quarters of the Western powers. His words
are worth weighing carefully.
The scene itself must be imagined -
the Karlshorst conference chamber, heav-
ily guarded by Red Army soldiers; the ser-
ried ranks of German economists and en-
gineers, most of them able men and all
of them terrified; the be-medalled Mer-
shal, marching in with his staff, and
brusquely calling the meeting to atten-
tion. There is no imagination, however,
in the following report of what he said.
With all the terrible authority of the
Kremlin's commander in Germany, Sokolov-
sky began with a threat. If considerable
increases in industrial production were not
shortly achieved in the Soviet zone, it would
be necessary to find other work - positions
in the uranium mines perhaps - for the
responsible German experts. Production de-
ficits were serious, considerably surpassing
the margin of error permitted in the Karl-
shorst planning. Sabotage was also wide-
spread. If it continued, it would be neces-
sary to consider removing the entire work-
ing forces of whole factories to more suit-
able employment in the mines. The situa-
tion was grave, and had had to be reported
directly to the Kremlin.
Having thus declared his discontent,
Marshal Sokolovsky then went on to re-
medies. In an order soon to be issued, in-
dustrial workers in the Soviet zone would
be given generous inducements to higher
production. At the same time, observers
and inspecting teams would be established
in economic administrations and factory
offices, to discover instances of ineffici-
ency, slackness, or incorrect political ori-
entation. These spies would be directly
responsible to Soviet headquarters. All
offenses reported to them would be pun-
ished with the utmost severity. No ex-
cuses for failure would be accepted, since
the honor of the Soviet zone demanded
that its industry should not fall behind
the zones of the West.
Finally, the Marshal turned to the moral
and mental improvement of the Germans
assembled before him. To assist them in
their task, he said, they must acquaint
themselves with Soviet history and the suc-
cesses of the Soviet nation. For this pur-
pose, Colonel Tulpanov, chief political offi-
cer of Soviet headquarters, would deliver a
weekly seminar. Attendance records at these
seminars would, of course, be kept.
Attempts to increase production by poli-
tical seminars by Colonel Tulpanov may
seem a trifle comic. None the less, there
was and is a grave economic reality behind
Marshal Sokolovsky's curious harangue. The
Soviet zone has been living on its economic
fat from the end of the war to the present
-operating factory machines at full speed
without repai aorreplacement: using up
stocks of raw materials without finding
sources of replenishment: and sending to the
Soviet Union an unbearably high proportion
of its output, both agricultural and industri-
al. Now the time of reckoning has come.
(Copyright, 1947, New York Herald Tribune)
It is impossible to synthesize a general
picture from the scattered local reports
which are available, but one can at least
say that all these reports point to the con-
clusion that the general picture is very
bad. In the vital heavy industry branch
at the Krupp Gruson works, for instance,
it was recently discovered that twenty per
cent of the raw material was being sold on
the black market. At Unterwellenborn, forty
per cent of the iron castings were ruined by
an incorrect mix, most probably because
high sulphur content Russian ores had been
used for want of better. At the Rostock ship-
paradise, but a workable standoff. Can the
emotions wihch once went into drawing a
portrait of a united world be effectively
taken up, and used in, and expressed by, a
program for stabilizing half a world and
then waiting, perhaps a long time?
Can the ghost of our old love, the love
for a united world, be satisfied thus, or will
it make disturbing protests in the night as
the Marshall Plan ships head over the water
for Europe?
To this question there are several an-
swers, and quite strong ones, even though
they take the form of more questions:
"What else would you do? With whom
are you going to make a planet-wide
peace? What assurances would you get,
and what about them would you accept
and trust?" And it is true that a Commun-
ist action has begun in France and Italy,
and that we may yet see French and
Italian Communists trying, however vain-
ly, to keep American help out of their own
ports, and from their own people, perhaps
losing everything in doing so, even their
own relative positions, yet dedicated, with
wild intensity, to making the effort.
For there is hate on that side, too, quite
probaly a more systematized and deadly hate
than on our own; the residue, among the
people of the side alleys of Europe, of a
hundred years of waiting for the society in
which they lived to show more than a pass-
ing and emergency concern for their wel-
fare. The explanations that they are Com-
munists does not explain, for it only leads
to another question: Why are they Com-
munists? So it is true that one reason the
world is split into halves is that there is, on
the other side perhaps more than on our
own, a lack of faith in the wholeness of the
planet.
What, then, remains? Only, finally, to
lock horns, to butt and push, and give
blood in conflict? Is that all, and is it
enough? Will it lay the ghost of the dead
moment of love, which still haunts us?
Or must we not, somehow, even in this
unlikely setting, continue our search for
pacification?
Is not, after all, the doctrine of "the in-
evitability of conflict" a Communist doc-
trine, of which "the inevitability of com-
promise" is the democratic opposite? There
is something of this larger approach in such
support of the Marshall Plan as Mr. Stim-
son's. He forecloses, even now, against no
one; he is "anti" no one, not even the Rus-
sians; still somehow, he keeps hope alive
as he summons us to stand for Europe and
humanity. To amplify this murmur, to en-
large this approach, to avoid all littleness,
doggedly and desperately, as evil in itself,
is the only way to keep healthy within us
the sound emotions of a few years ago, just
as it is the way to refute the arguments of
the opposition, and to orphan its hate'.

"WILD HARVEST," with Alan Ladd and
Dorothy Lamour.
IT'S A WILD HARVEST all right, when
Alan Ladd and a bunch of his broad-
shouldered buddies get together a fleet of
combines and set out to harvest the wheat
belt. They seem to think that mechanized
harvesting is a profitable venture untouched
by human minds, but that of course would
be much too simple. Unfortunately the script
writers got carried away with that word
"wild" and the story that results strongly
resembles a grain other than wheat.
Alan Ladd strains every muscle into his
usual pose of the nonchalant tough guy,
and it should be a long time between parts
for Miss Lamour after this portrayal of
the farm girl who read too many movie
magazines. Her simmering sallies even nau-
seate Mr. Ladd. There are some good laughs
at the incongruity of it all, and Ladd's mas-
terful leap along a convoy of speeding
trucks brings down the house. But it's a
pity that they had to mess up the pretty
wheat fields with so much nonsense.

"SONG OF THE THIN MAN," with Myrna
Loy and William Powell.
THE THIN MAN is putting on weight,
but other than that we have the same
blithe Nick and Nora Charles, cracking mur-
der cases and wise remarks with equal
aplomb. This time the murder of a band
leader aboard a night club ship keeps the
clever couple from bed and Nick, Jr., for
a few hectic days, but needless to say,
justice and curtain ring down together.
The story gets off to a slow start but picks
up considerably and the dialogue is better
than average. Asta is still the most tal-
ented pooch since Rin-Tin-Tin and 'as soon
as he learns to talk will probably carry on
the series.

SOME PEOPLE seem to think
the action of a few newspapers
in deleting the Al Capp strip "L'il
Abner," smells of thought control
and censorship. We had a letter
to that effect the other day. The
writer claims these incidents "add
fuel to the Soviet contention that
we do not have a free press" . .
We cannot differentiate between
columnists and cartoonists in this
issue. It involves a basic principle.
Both prepare material that is sold
to newspapers. Editors are under
no obligation to print it justhbe-
cause they buy it. The authors
have no more right to insist on
publication than do ordinary con-
tributors to the letters column.
Under our system of free press
the final authority and responsi-
bility for what is published rests
on thenewspaper editor. If we
ever get away from that practice
we will no longer have free and
independent newspapers. Irrevoc-
able dictation by anyone, whether
it be a columnist, cartoonist or
government official, as to what
should or should not appear in a
newspaper is an unhealthy thing
in America.

and
Veteraln Maturity
To the Editor:
IN REPLY to Harold T. Walsh.
I would not have it thought that
all veterans are of Mr. Walsh's
opinion. The fact that some of us
do not like rah, rah, and do not
Indulge in the usual shenanigans
'is our individual privilege. Perhaps
we have other things which absorb
our energies or perhaps we feel
that such pleasant simple-mind-
edness is a waste of time, that is
neither here nor there. However,
I think it is not correct to say
that a man, because of his role in
the Aleutians, Europe, the Pacific
and/or in combat, is to be con-
sidered mature by virtue of these
experiences.
Maturity is a nebulous phrase
describing a state which is reached
by observation and evaluation.
Observation without evaluation
gives no true representation of
the actual state of affairs. The
worthy Babbitt who believes that,
with some minor improvements,
this is the best of all possible
worlds, is no more mature than his
sophomoric counterpart who
idealistically wants the immediate
reform of the world. Neither has
evaluated the situation, neither
has tried to see it in a "true" per-
spective-exactly what is the true
perspective has been debated for
thousands of years; just what it
is remains an open question. If all
of our veterans were "mature,"
our voice would be more loudly
heard where it would be useful
rather than making much of
trivia.
Mr. Walsh's statement on bus-
iness schools and worlds is an
example of the veteran's tremen-
dous desire for security-a good
job, a wife, a house, an untroubled
world. Everybody wants these, I
presume, but with the veteran, it
has become a fetish, the ultimate
end of his striving . .. An under-
standable position in view of
events, but one which is liable
to m make him forget the broad
issues which affect him.
An institution with ideals sim-
ilar to those Mr. Walsh proposes,
could hardly produce people who
would know how to live a full life,
vote, or much less be voted for.
Security would not be obtained
by these people for the obvious
reason that they would have no
understanding of the elements of
their security. Whether or not a
college education as it exists to-
day provides the necessary infor-
mation, is again a moot question.
In any case, it is a somewhat bet-
ter solution than a knowledge of
mere business methods.
A man's life is his to mold, if
he can, but don't insist that the
rest of the world conform to your
pattern, and with this pious ob-
servation I close.
-William A. Conrad.

Emphasis on Teaching
To the Editor:
A RECENT LETTER commented
on the pool grade of teaching
that is becoming prominent in the
University. It was pointed out that
the University, in appointing its
faculty, has placed a premium on
research ability and reputation.
The degree to which a professor
succeeds as a teacher seems to
carry but little weight.
What is the University's
principal function? Is it promi-
nence as a research center or
is it an institution for higher
education? Essentially, research
should be an educational tool
rather than an end in itself.
Still, this University attaches
more importance to the profes-
sor's laboratory than to the stu-
dents' classroom.
As a result, our lectures are all
too frequently delivered by bril-
liant research scientists who, of-
ten just as brilliantly, fail as
teachers. In huge lecture sections,
the professor is oftentimes out of
contact with the students and
their difficulties. Brilliant re-
search scientists as teachers when
they do not know how to teach,
crowded classes, and a course that
covers material so rapidly that it
cannot be instilled for future use,
make going to college an almost
regrettable experience. Students
need not be told of these things.
On the other hand, do the
University higher-ups fully ap-
preciate the students' frustra-
tion, the inevitable result of
such practice?
The shortcomings outlined are
so fundamental that they must be
attended to. A new emphasis on
teaching must be evolved and the
mass production trends must be
emphatically rejected if this Uni-
versity is to retain its reputation
as an EDUCATIONAL institution.
-Max H. Well.
Patrick H. Doyle.
Bluebook Prices
To the Editor:
WITH THE SEMESTER half
over, maybe this is the best
time to complain about the prices
of such items as bluebooks. Hav-
ing a bluebook not being bad
enough,, we are forced to pay a
dime for a few pages of paper.
In all seriousness, the prices of
such items in the local bookstores
are unwarranted. Inasmuch as
there exists no practical competi-
tion of the bookstores, isn't it
about time for the University to
make use of its position to assure
a more equitable relationship be-
tween student buyer and book-
store monopoly?

To the Editor:
A WEEK AGO last Sunday I wit-
nessed the stupendously
Michigan welcome awarded our
football players on their victorious
return from Wisconsin. A hundred
and fifty students, a handful of
band-men, one cheer, three songs,
three posters. Ten minutes-the
train was five late. Inflated in-
struments re-cooped themselves
neatly in their musical cases, cars
rolled away, students walked up
South State's sidewalks, doubling
the weather's grim note, hushing
Sunday's sepulchral morning, as
if afraid of rousing it to the real-
ization of their daring profana-
tion. The cab driver made his
take.
We have a wonderful set-up. A
big stadium, plenty of money tak-
en in, plenty of money handed
out, bourgeois salaries, and ath-
letic opportunities : national pres-
