in the Quad as to whether or not
such complaints are constructive.
The chief accomplishment of the
recent survey in the West Quad
was to create more discontent
with the crowded conditions and
to provoke additional complaints.
It will take time to remedy the
ivercrowding in the Quads. The
University is constructing the
South Quad in an attempt to rea-
lieve this overcrowding of the East
and West Quads.
West Quad Council president
Bill Diener urged that results of
overcrowding be considered in re-
sidence halls admission policy. If
Diener is implying that the num-
e~rof Quad residents should not
n4 cIncreased, I agree with him,
but ifhe is implying that the num-
ber of residents should be reduced
by forcing students to live in
rooming houses, I object. In the
first place, by allowing new stu-
dents to live in the residence halls,
the residence halls are providing
these students with guidance, such
as review sessions and enforced
quiet hours which is lacking in
rooming houses. They are provid-
ing the students with an opportun-
ity to make a greater number of
friends than they could while liv-
ing in rooming houses. They are
providing the students with an
easier entrance into campus ac-
tivities than they would find in
1 rooming houses. Furthermore, if
the residence halls refuse to read-
mit upperclassmen they would be
acting unjustly. Most of these
men have contributed to the wel-
fare of the Quads and consequent-
ly these men deserve the oppor-
tunity to return to the Quads if
they so desire.
It takes time to remedy over-
crowded conditions. Therefore,
criticism is justified if, and only
if, the South Quad doesn't solve
the overcrowded condition, and if
there are no prospects for con-
struction of additional dormitories.
Why excite the students concern-
ing a problem which the Univer-

sity is already attempting to ren-
edy by constructing the - South
Quad?

WhoiW7antas Wr. ..
To the Editor:
W E STRIVE valiantly and per-
petually for peace. We peti-
tion; form committees; pray to
God; study books; travel abroad;
argue for world government, Uni-
ted Nations, isolation. Despite our
prodigious homage to the shrine
of peace, is the sociologist W.
Lloyd Warner correct in saying
that the people of Jonesville and
America derive deep satisfaction
from the events of war; "for it is
in time of war that human beings
get some of their deepest satis-
factions as members of the com-
munity."
Habitually, vehemently we de-
clare our hatred for war; but
is there at the same time an un-
conscious desire for the very thing
we so ardently condemn? Are we
somewhat comparable to Faust,
restless, seemingly unsatisfied with
the most succulent charms of
peace? In the end he emerged
victorious over Mephistopheles and
found ultimate rest in benevo-
lence. Have we?
Modern Federalists commonly
point to our national form of gov-
ernment as the sine qua non of
peace. Only when nations dele-
gate certain sovereign rights to a
world representative government
can we expect peace. The dispar-
ity of the Civil War is easily ex-
plained in terms of an unfortun-
ate but inevitable contest testing
the bounds of state's rights. Was
it just this, or was our .Faust
growing a bit bored with his land
of the free?
Suppose technology had not con-
tracted the world. Left to our own
devices could we have appeased
our spirits in the vicissitudes of
peace or would another civil war
have broken out in response to hid-

den desires of the psychic for a
more lusty diet?

Medical Car ..*.
To the Editor:
RIECENTLY, AN INTERESTING
fact has come to my attention
that affects every student living
in the dormitories. I wonder how
many students realize that the
resident advisors and house moth-
ers are actually forbidden to keep
a medicine kit in their rooms! I
wonder how many students realize
the amount of red tape that must
be encountered before a sick stu-
dent can receive medical aid! I
wjnder how many students rea-
lize the precarious position they
are put in if and when they are
taken ill! Are we so simple that
we cannot be trusted with a medi-
cine kit? Surely not.
We cannot escape the fact that
our University has one of tie
best medical centers in the coun-
try, but must a student suddenly
taken ill, be forced to lie and wait
for the doctor when much can
be done for the student by the
resident advisor, a competent of-
ficial who is forbidden to possess
a medical kit?
It has been said that many resi-
dent advisors do not know how
to use medical remedies properly.
If this is true, then why not create
the office of "House Physician"?
Surely, a senior medical student
is well informed as to the use of
a medical kit? Let us have some-
one, something, we can rely on in
emergencies. Remember the old
axiom, "An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure."

Debate on Communism
To the Editor:
THERE ARE TIMES when stu-
dents mutt experience the feel-
ings of inmates of mental insti-
tutions, and the refusal of the Uni-
versity Lecture Committee to per-
mit a debate on "Communism vs.
Capitalism" certainly creates an
occasion for one to feel that the
only sane people around are the
students (inmates) of this insti-
tution.
While students calmly prepare
to study questions of importance
by means of discussion and debate,
the rest of the country, including
the University Lecture Committee,
takes steps to prevent thought and
analysis and loses itself in a par-
oxysm of irrational fear.
The notion that one Communist,
or for that matter any number of
them, speaking here, or anywhere
else in this country, can damage
our institutions is both dangerous
and absurd. If there is one aspect
of Marxist movements in this
country that transcends any other,
it is simply that Marxism has been
utterly unable to gain any wide
appeal. In that respect, it has
been an abysmal failure. Nor is
it likely, that Marxism is now gain-
ing, or will gain, many American
converts, for the indigenous liberal
and capitalist institutions are too
firmly rooted to create anything
but hostility to ideas of class war-
fare and the worsening of the wel-
fare of workers. Our national ex-
perience is a daily refutation of
the tenets of Marxism, which has
suffered nothing but ideological
defeat in this country.
But insistence on squelching
Communists is the result of er-
roneous identification of the suc-
cess of the Communists in Russia
with the Communist Party in this
country. There is simply no basis
other than nonsense for such an
identification.s
It is not however, the fuzzy

thinking that is disturbing, but
rather the persistent refusal to
allow free institutions to operate
freely. Where indeed, is the faith
of our fathers - the faith of Jef-
ferson, Jackson and Lincoln? The
truth is that students seem to be
the only ones who still retain the
faith and confidence.
If this be so, and if we want to
instill faith, and if we dislike the

Inquisition as heartily as we do
the Communists, there is a good
case for regarding the students
as the mature and responsible ele-
ment in our society, and hence ex-
tending their prerogatives and in-
fluence in its administration.

New Courthouse ...
To the Editor:
THE FACT that the county
courthouse bond issue was de-
feated is threatening to cause dis-
cord between the cities of Ypsi-
lanti and Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor-
ites and some of their city officials
claim that Ypsilanti's twelve to
one defeat of the measure was due
to selfish reasons. Would shifting
the courthouse site approximately
two miles toward Ypsilanti bring
any additional prestige or fame
to that city? Certainly not. The
people of Ypsilanti did not de-
feat the measure for selfish rea-
sons but for reasons based on
plain common sense.
The construction of a new build-
ing would take approximately two
years. If the new building is to
be built on the present location,
where would courthouse business
be conducted and where would
county records be stored? Office
space must be rented for this pur-
pose. This would impose another
unnecessary burden on Washte-
naw County taxpayers. If the
new building was built on the pro-
posed site on Washtenaw Avenue
the present county building could
still operate and thereby save the
county unneeded expense.
The present down town site of-
fers no parking space for people
having business in the county
building. A person is lucky if he
can find aparking place near the
building but usually he has to go
to the municipal parking structure
and often this is crowded. If the
building was located on the Wash-
tenaw Avenue site there would be
more than adequate off street
parking space available.
This issue was not a conflict be-
tween Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor,
but a conflict between good and
bad judgement. The residents of
Ann Arbor should realize that
Ypsilanti is not trying to take the
county seat away from their city,
but is merely trying to promote
the best interests of the county.

Think ...
To the Editor:
j HAVE A problem. I am a frus-
trated college freshman. I used
to think I knew what I thought.
When my higl school teacher said
that five per 'cent of the people
think and ninety five per cent
think they think, I always was
confident that I was one of the
five per cent who thought. But
now I wonder whether I thought
or thought I was thinking.
I thought I wanted to go to col-
lege to learn to think better,
but college has undermined my
thoughts on what I think. My
absolute thought has been turned
into a miasmic muddle of the rela-
tive and the abstract until I am
afraid to think because the
thought is incompatible with
something I thought I knew. This
has led me to one conclusion: the
more I think, the less I know and
conversely the more I know, the
less I think. As a result, the more
things I think about, the less I
know about them until I know
nothing about everything; and the
fewer things I think, about the
more I know about them until I
know everything about nothing.
My problem is this: I am so
very close to a complete loss of

thought that I almost know every-
thing about nothing. The only
thing I don't know is whether I
know everything about nothing,
which requires thinking, I think.
Will you please tell me I know
everything about nothing so I
will know it and not have to think
about it?
-Thomas Kriewal.
