NIGHT EDITOR: HAROLD JACKSON Conduct Ruling11 R EGULATION w ihi rep rsen taion h as now been established at the University. With the addition of three students to the Committee on Student Conduct 4 yvic- tory in principle at least has been gained. Although previotysly the committee em- ployed the policy of calling in students to discuss measures before they were passed, there was no legal compunction for them to do so, and therefore no assurance that this would be done in all cases. But with a real place on the committee, Students will have the opportunity to study a new regulation from its inception rather than to give an opinion based on a cur- sory view of a rule just before it is to be established. It is likely, too, that students will have a more effective voice when acting as actual members of the committee instead of as consultants whose opinions need not be ac- eepted. Moreover, students will now have the right to call meetings of the committee when they believe an important issue has developed on campus. The committee revision will have the im- mediate effect of bringing the interpreta- tion of University liquor regulations, which caused the original furor. up for considera- ion again. Re-wording of the rules to fol- low State law, but not to stiengthen it, is a possibility. However, even if the student representa- tives are unable to effect a change in the liquor regulations, the whole controversy has been salutary in two ways. Virst, the Board of Regents has emerged as willing to listen to the students' side, and comply with a worthwhile proposal. And secondly, the Student Legislature has proved that the right kind of student ac- tion can be successful. The trend toward greater representation, also evident in the recent expansion of the Student Affairs Committee, now seems defi- nite. With more and more student pres- sure exerted in the proper places, students may eventually gain, rightful control of their own lives at the University. -Joan Katz DRAMA Ate Lydia Menidelssohnm. . AS YOU LIKE IT, with Dorothy Murzek Gutekunst, Maximilian Bryer, Norma Metz and Ralph Cappuccilli. T'HE SPEECH DEPARTMENT, apparently not content with having presented one difficult production this season, has taken upon itself another challenging assignment. It's a pleasure to report that this assignment has also been handled v iith what is begin- ning to lock like customary competence. To begin at the foundation. then, Shake- speare's bucolic comedy has been neatlyj trimmed down to two compact acts for the presentation. This was done, I'm told, by Prof. Valentine B. Windt. Prof. William P. Halstead, who was in charge of direction. has achieved some very novel, not to say clever effects with the properties and has. at the same time, greatly facilitated the scenery shifts.

"Ar- chie," a character in a comic strip of the same name, was recently pictured in the throes of deciding what college to attend.

MORE WEIGHTY PROBLEMS were being solved in speech class, but the diminutive stature of this pretty coed kept her hidden behind a huge lectern reached up to her sorority pin.

DAILY OFFICIAL BULEI i (continue-d. from P f c> ;i) mental Secretaries, where may be obtained. they PetrlloContracts THE LATEST WRINKLE in the already mangled story of James Caesar Petrillo vs. music educators, networks and Congress has just been announced. The new contracts of the union and the networks will be ne- gotiated soon. This time, however, the net- works have a list of counter-proposals, aimed directly at Petrillo and his American Fed- eration of Musicians. Petrillo has been in the national spotlight ever since 1942, when he prohibited broad- casting of musical programs for educational purposes. Since then, he has been interfer- ing in FM and television broadcasting and requiring unnecessary stand-by musicians at network stations. His latest word adds the requirement that platter turners on disc jockey programs join the AFM, al- though most of them in cities are already members of the National Association of Broadcasting Engineers and Technicians. It is hard to predict whether Petrillo/ will again get his way on this and the three proposals which he is submitting for the new contracts. However, the very fact that the networks have included five de- mands for Petrillo and his union would give more freedom in FM and television is significant. The network demands include continua- tion of co-operative music shows (that is, shows sent out by the network with the local sponsors sharing the cost) and also of delayed recordings, which make it pos- sible to hear a show at the same hour all over the country by playing records of net- work broadcasts in the different time belts. The demands also ask Petrillo to retract three of his previous bans. The issue of Petrillo vs. the networks is an important one. If some of the network proposals are carried, it will be the first time in some years that Petrillo has been overridden. His latest contention, that thou- sands of musicians are being forced out by the growing popularity of disc jockeys, has already been answered by the radio industry. They argue, convincingly, that these jockeys actually create work for musicians because their record broadcasts popularize all types of music and increase the demand. Petrillo's psychology is slipping, even with many members of his own union. If this trend continues, the proposals of the net- works for the new contracts may go through. It is certainly a milestone worth watching for. -Lilias Wagner. On Bryan' Views T Ii-, All Seniors. L.

It is naive to think that a course can be evalated merely through consideration of the material, which is presented in it. Almost every advanced student chooses his course for the professor as i lmuch as for the content, and if one of these criteia is more im- portant, it is probably the profes- sor. Furthermore, the student is going to obtain an estimate of the profe.ssor from someone; it is better that it be a qualified ad- viser rather than some friend. It is also important for the stu- dent to know the relative diffi- culty of the couse. A student who wishes to learn should be stopped fr'om taking a ' snap-coth's in which he will learn nothing, al, though the course content is what he wants. Students will get suchi evaluations; it is again better ha' they come from q malificd advisers. Also therear et imes when a ,student will want an easier course; with twelve difficult hours, there is no reason why he should not take one "breather." Students who would take advantage of this would take "pipe" courses" any- how, and it is conceivable that a good adviser could steer him to a more substamntIial progiram, even with aim of achieving an easy schledule. I think that the advises will find that to really assist the stu- dent it will be impossible to ad- vise him, excepting perhaps a stu- dent interested in basic courses, without considering these ques- tions. -David L. Wagner. Su bsistence Drive To the Editor: r 1HE CURRENT "Operation Sub- sistence" seems tto me to be quite unreasonable. After all, is the government supposed to make it possible for veterans to attend school, or is it supposed to provide its ex-servicemen with four years of expense-free life? I think the former is true. I do not think it is fair that the government be expected to pay for clothes, haircuts, toilet items, etc., which the vets would er, "B" HH; German 1, sec. 16, Mertens, 205 MH; German 1, sec. 17, Norton, 2054 NS; German 1, sec. 18, Bernard, "C" HH; Ger- man 1, sec. 19, Schippert, 101 Econ.; German 1, sec. 20, Hoff- man, 3017 AH; German 1, sec. 21, Fuehrer, "B" HH.

Midwestern Conference Concert: O NE OF THE BEST THINGS to hit Ann Arbor this semester is Julien Bryan, with his movie "Inside Russia Today." To all who heard his talk Tuesday night, Bryan wisely imparted his cool-minded view of events taking place in the supposed "Cold War" between Russia and America. Includ- ed in this was a refutation of the type of hysteria which is fast leading us into isola- tion from Russia, and unfounded predic- tions that a war would begin by April. 0 As proof that these predictions were mere hysteria, Bryan offered films of the Russian people and country and state- ments of Stalin and Bedell Smith, the American ambassador to Russia. Stalin has told Smith that he expected an exchange of students between Russia and America, within the year. He has fur- ther stated that the reason Russia allowed so few correspondents to come into the country was that the Soviet still had to re- pair its country from the damage done by Germans during the war. The films which Bryan presented, along with his commentary, offered evidence that Russia could not wage a war now. One out of every five men were killed in the war, and there are many thousand amputees who would be unable to assist their country in time of war. Buildings and factories of Russia were de- stroyed during the war, to such an extent that Russia had to rely on UNRRA for farm machinery. They were mainly interested in this machinery and food, and expressed no desire for commodities which might have any war-making significance. The Russian people and diplomats them- selves are afraid of another war, Bryan said. The country's vitality was exhausted by the recent war, and their psychological condition and material resources could not support further war. Bryan can be taken as a well-informed and impartial observer of what Russia is, since he was an UNRRA photographer, and has taken nine trips to Russia as part of his job of acquainting different culture groups with one another, through films. The pictorial evidence and up-to-date observations of Bryan, who just returned from Russia, convincingly refute the wild- eyed prophecies of men who sit in their American news offices and fabricate plots to spin around what little they do know about Russia today. -Fran Ivick THE FALLACY in much thinking about ERP was that it would increase overall U.S. exports, thus increase inflation. But it would not do so, even though the U.S. was handing out the cash to other nations to pay for the exports. ERP's exports would merely replace most of the exports which foreign nations could no longer afford. With ERP and loans from the World Bank and other sources, U.S. exports in 1948 might run only as high as $12 billion. But they would still be !3 billion under 1947, and the more ERP was shaved by Congress - and the more delay there was in passing it - the greater would be the drop. --Time t will be mailed or can be obtained 2082 NS; German 1, sec. 15, Pack- BARNABY.
