Why nol tdke advantage of it? -Cal Klyman, Subcommittee on Rent Control, Campus Action Committee, Student Legislature * * * Mundt-Ferguson Bill .. , To the Editor: HE following is a copy of a let ter sent by IRA to national leg islators telling them how we fee about certain "security" legisla ion. We hope other organization will do the same. At our meeting of March 28 th Inter-Racial Association unani mously voted to oppose the Mundt Ferguson (S.2311) and the Nixo: (HR 3342) bills as constituting im mediate threats to longstandin democratic principles. We see th power they give to a three ma: committee to be such as could b used to destroy any organization (such as our own) which work for social progress. We disagre in principle with any legislation which can, directly or indirectly. restrict an individual on the basi of his association with an organi zation or restrict an organizatio on the basis of the ideas it ad vances rather than on specific tra ditional criminal acts. We agree with Frank Murph: when he said, "Loyalty to our tra ditions of civil liberty is as mitl-g a part of patriotism as defense of our shores and, hatred for trea son." The Mundt-Ferguson-Nixoi bill can only weaken American se curity. Its passage would give sub stance to foreign charges of "Fas cism" against our government. We who are concerned witl combatting racism feel that one of the most significant and dan gerous aspects of the proposed bil is that, while it legislates agains organizations of the Left, it would in no way restrict such native fas cist groups as the Ku Klux Klan and Gerald L. K. Smith's followers It should be remembered that the restriction of the Left in Germany was the first step in the establish- ment of Hitler's terroristic dic tatorship of the Right. Hence, in the interest of safe guarding American democracy w urge you to use your full re- sources to defeat this thought con- trol bill. Patrick Doyle, President, Jack G. Barense, Secretary, Inter-Racial Association Debate Con .. . To the Editor: HE MICHIGAN DAILY of last Tuesday, April 18, thoroughly criticized and renounced the Uni- versity Lecture Committee for not allowing H. J. Phillips, avowed Communist, to take part in the planned by the Form Committee, I think that the outspoken cri- tizers of the University have over- looked two important aspects per- taining to, and in defense of, the committee's decision. First, the opinion and judgement of the members of the committee should be given more consideration and analysis than it appears has been given by the committee critizers. Our main purpose here at the University of Michigan is to learn, and learn to think. The material we grasp not only includes facts but also experience and opinion- mainly the opinion of our instruc- tors. Why should our attitude to- wards the opinion of the faculty members with regard to the Phil- lips decision be directly opposite to our regard for their opinion on other subjects? These men are not the dunces that some of our editorial writers would have you believe. We choose elder men for most of our import- ant political positions because we consider their judgement and ex- perience is what is needed to gov- ern the actions and welfare of others. My second point is in connec- tion with the Communist philo- sophy itself. Myself, along with most Americans, believe in free speech by free speech I do not mean license to libel, to slander or to deliberately misrepresent facts. Should a speaker be allow- ed to advocate a political doc- trine based on a philosophy which in practice disregards all the ma- jor contentions of that philo- sophy? Let us examine the Com- munist philosophy in the light of present-day Communism and the actions of Russia. Communism claims to be baised on the rule of the proletariat-are the govern- ments in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Russia democratic? Com- munism claims that war is a nat- ural result of capitalism and cap- italist greed-is the present world condition a result of capitalism? ' Communists thrive in this country L. S. &A. in 2,000.. To the Editor: JN THE YEAR 2,000 A.D. I en- visage the following changes tc have taken place at the Univer- sity. Student enrollment has in- creased to 500,000. Every profes- sor in the Lit. School is either a Dean or a department head. Each has a secretary and an office in the Administration Buildings which now include the League and the Union as well as all class- room space. Their families live in the old student dormitories which have been converted into attrac- tive apartments. All students of the School of Literature, Science and the Arts remain in their home town. Lec- tures are received via television. Professors and advisers are con- tacted by mail. The former an- swers questions by the medium of a wire recording. Upon playing the recording the student hears a short personal lecture rendered by a teaching-fellow. The package lecture has no relation to the question. Advisers submit advice on the back of a postage stamp. Examinations are taken in key central areas. The Rose Bowlkis utilized for examination purposes in western United States. Five hundred teaching fellowss. police each exam. Maximum attendance in Michi- gan's football stadium, now three miles high, is set at 200,000. Only Alumni are admitted. Television brings the game to the students. A preview of the Michigan of tomorrowrcan be obtained at 1 daily over station WUOM. Af- ter listening to the "Classroom Lecture Hour" all students,. es- pecially those who have elected Comparative European Govern- ments, should ask themselves why bother with classroom attend- ance? What do you lose by staying home and tuning in on WUOM? -Allen Hurd * * * 0 a h s e : 1 f s easy prey to the agitator beside him, especially if he is a smooth- talking student. Secondly, hitch- hiking cheats the bus lines and undermines free enterprise. Third- ly, it breaks down law and order and encourages people to be neighborly and good Samaritans. One would think that the police would have easy work, by simply scooping up two out of five hikers and putting them in jail. If the criminals come out in the open, why can't the police catch them? What would criminals do if they couldn't hitchhike any more with impunity? They would die out, like the dodo. -John Neufeld * * * d Liberals - To the Editor: . THE DEATH OF former mayor of the city of Detroit, Jeffrey, y was the second great Michigan - liberal to leave us. Frank Murphy, - the Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, was the first lost. They left us when we need them more than ever, in these turbulent e times, to guide us and to advise us. When we write and speak of Mur- phy and Jeffrey, we do speak and write about dynamic Detroit and Michigan with its great industries and potentialities. These great, great Americans were of a different type of politi- cians; they were not for wealth and money; they placed the com - mon interest of the people high- * er than private interest. They are gone now, and we in Michigan are faced with the chal- lenge, to produce another leader- ship to lead us to a successful po- litical and economic end. It is a challenge, indeed to the University of Michigan and Wayne Univer- sity to educate a new progressive rank and file who will become the future leaders of this great state; to put the people's needs at heart. How shall this leadership be pro- duced from the educational insti- tutions when free public expres- sion is forbidden, debates and dis- cussions are something in the past? How shall we know what is Communism, socialism, capitalism, and various philosophies derived from our present society? And to find out what kind of philosophy is this which Senator McCarthy from Wisconsin is trying to save us from? Is the act of rejection the only reply to challenge Com- munism against capitalism or shall we have a better offer to substitute for this philosophy? Forbidding the debate of Prof. Phillips will not help an iota our efforts to promote another Murphy and Jef- frey; ' on the contrary, we will drift toward a corporation state similar to Italy and Germany be- fore World War II. -George P. Moskoff S4 4 Hitch-Hikers. To the Editor: THE AUTHOR OF the article "Thumbs Down on Hitchhik- ers" is quite a moralist. He realizes that all motorists are solid citi- zens, never finger-printed, people who never rob hitchhikers. Hitch- hikers on the other hand are hi- jackers and furthermore like to get into smash-ups so that they can collect money afterwards. The author thinks hitchhiking was all right during the war be- cause "often a lift meant the sol- dier got home a day earlier." Now people don't have to get home earlier. Let 'em wait for a slow, crowded, uncomfortable bus. Hitchhiking "encourages beg- ging, truancy, lawbreaking . . Motorists picking up a hitchhiker are quite likely to be helping him violate some law. Even in places where it's legal, the lift promotes Crucial Issue .. . To the Editor: P"N EDITORIAL," signed by "the Editors," and concerned with a decision of the University Lecture Committee, appeared on the front page of Tuesday's Daily. In the last paragraph of this editorial, the writer states: "In a world where the crucial issue is Capitalism vs Communism" . . . etc. These words imply, it seems to me, that Capitalism's opposition to Communism comprises the most crucial issue before the world at the present moment. If this is what the author of the words means to imply, I can only join with the more thoughtful members of the University in de- ploring that such a superficil judgment should have been made, subscribed to, and prominently displayed. If, on the other hand, these words were carelessly chosen in the sudden heat of the writer's displeasure, the Editors perhaps might do well to repudiate the im- plication and expose their intend- ed meaning. Perhaps they mean that Capi- talism vs Communism is an issue in the minds of certain individuals -possibly crucial to some folk to- day! -Arthur Graham * * * Spring & Sidewalks .... To the Editor: I SPRING has finally arrived (?) and soon pedestrians on their way to class will have to keep both eyes peeled for that speed demon, the cyclist. These two- wheeled truck drivers will soon, if not already, be tearing up and down the diag at tremendous vel- ocities and with no apparent care for anyone else on the sidewalk. Having a desire to complete my college education in one piece, I feel that these maniacs should be banned from places primarily de- signed for walking. I don't seem to be alone in this belief for as I came out of the East Engineering Building the other day I noticed a sign which read "Bicycle Riding On Campus Forbidden-By Order of the Board of Regents." Not only are these cyclists endangering the safety of their fellow, students, but they are also violating a uni- versity ruling! Granted that bicycles are faster than feet, then let's handicap the cyclist by making him go the long way round. This would save the shortcuts for those unfortunate in- dividuals who have to use them to get to class on time without in- stilling in them a constant fear of becoming Exhibit "A" in a man- slaughter charge. -Allyn W. Barrows Debate - Pro... To the Editor: N reply to Charles Remsburg's letter to The Daily published on April 22, I would like to make the following observations: First, Mr. Remsburg says that students are immature, and in need of super- vision. Perhaps some of us are, but if there are any veterans on campus who are not mature enough to decide the type of gov- ernment they desire, I have yet to meet them. It is even conceiv- able that the non-veterans on campus that are mature enough to live away from home and earn their own living, are mature, enough to differentiate between propaganda and truth. Besides, how can we ever become mature if a committee decides for all of us just what we can think, or read,; or to whom we can listen. It ap- pears to me that police state methods such as that will only lead to a dictatorship worse than Hitler ever conceived. Another point in Mr. Rems- burg's letter was that we are now at war with Russia, and we must be united. If I am going to fight in war, cold or hot, the first thing I want to know is what am I fighting against. How are we to know the "enemy" unless we are given a chance to see and hear our opponents viewpoints and ideals? Is Mr. Remsburg afraid that perhaps if enough people By JANICE JAMES Freshmen frolic at their week- end, sophomores cavort at their cabaret and the juniors annually jazz up the campus with their JGP. An old saying has it that as the years go by, class spirit shows greatly diminishing returns, but each year the junior women take it upon themselves to follow a fa- vorite preocd'upation and prove the theory all wrong. BARBOUR GYMNASIUM wa, the scene of the first JGP pro- duced in 1904 by six energetic jun- ior women who decided it was about time the campus awakened to the timely talents of the class. Men were completely excluded from all aspects of the produc- tion, even the audience, until 1923 when the males were al- lowed to view JGP for the first time from the balcony and or- chestra pit of the Whitney the- atre downtown. With the production briefly sus- pended during the early war years, JGP returned to the campus scene in 1945, when it was written solely by the junior women for the first time. Previously, faculty members and alumni had all had a finger in pie! * * * THIS YEAR also saw the jun- iors deluging students with Bow Day at which time pink and blue ribbons with war stamps attached were sold at all campus highspots and sidewalks. Closely united with Senior Night, the first production of JGP each year is strictly for the senior class members. With the Blackfoot Bal theme kept secret until this t i m e , the seniors are con- sequently the first ones to view the results of the juniors well- spent energy. At this time, the senior women hoot and holler their approval, or otherwise, of the play. It is also their prerogative to demand repe- tition of any part of the play which suits their fancy. * * * JGP IS traditionally a musical based on a theme familiar to all students. Up until a few years ago, the play had a local setting, but the classes of '50 and '51 based their productions on a wider back- ground. This year's JGP concerned a hillbilly gal who won a nation- wide contest and a subsequent trip to New York. Since the presentations of JGP and the Union Opera fell within a week of each other, the two lead- ing characters made a combined campus debut at a tea at the Un- ion given in their honor. Daisy Lou McCoy, the gal from the hills, proved to be a startling contrast to the smooth sophistication of Mary Lou Payraiser, the sweetheart of the opera. With a gigantic cast, and a ser- ies of committees that almost out- numbered the ants in the Arbore- tum, JGP offers each junior wo- man an opportunity to work with her classmates in a mutual ef- fort to captivate the campus!

Maize Dance Set forTonight Freshmen To Give Charleston Lessons To EagerFlappers Tickets for the Maize dance of Frosh Weekend will be sold from. 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today in the Un- ion and the League. Theme for the affair will be "Flapper Daze." During the floor show Maizie, heroine of the show, will present her "scrapbook," which consists of tales of her ex- periences in the days of the roar- ing '20's. In keeping with decorations and floor show theme of flapper and raccoon coat, expert and attractive teachers will be on hand to explain the details of the Charleston to all those willing and eager to learn it. The favorite dance of the '20's will be taught from 9:30 to 12 p.m. today in the Grand Rapids room of the League. Although members of the Maize team have been seen wandering around the campus in charming flapper dresses and moth-eaten fur coats, Jo Phillips, publicity chairman, stresses the fact that the dance is not a costume affair. Blue team presented their dance to the campus yesterday. Both teams have decorated half of the League ballroom in accord with their respective themes. The all-campus, male-bid dance will be given by the Maize team from 9 to 12 p.m. today in the League ballroom. Ted Smith and his orchestra will play for the affair. State Day Luncheon To Be Held by AOPi Active members and alumnae of Alpha Omicron Pi will celebrate the annual State Day of the sor- ority today with a luncheon to be held in Marshall.

Read and Use Daily Classifieds Will Be Given By Fraternity There'll be black feet on the walls and black feet suspended from the ceiling of the League Ballroom when Alpha Tau Omega fraternity presents its annual Blackfoot Ball Friday, May 5. Blackfoot Ball is a national tra- dition among ATO chapters. It all began years ago in the South when the ATO's wore black boots, while their rivals, the members of Sigma Nu fraternity, wore wh1 e footgear. IT IS expected that, true to tradition, the ATO's will appear at the dance this year wearing black shoes, while their guests, the Sigma Nu's will show up shod in white. Traditionally students have, been reminded that the Black- foot Ball was coming by the sight of huge black tracks wan- dering across the Diag, running up and down steps and meander- ing around other parts of the campus. At this year's dance, two over- sized pigeon-toed black feet will flank the door of the ballroom. * * * ON THE WALLS will be hung black picture frames inside of which black feet will be silhouet- ted against a white background by means of lights shining through the frames. A giant replica qf the pro- gram for the dance will stand behind the bandstand. Ballons, with black feet marching around them will float from the ceil- ing. Ken Norman's orchestra will provide music for both black and white feet to dance to. *' * * WHEN THE FEET tire of danc- ing, they will be able to rest while their owners relax with cokes. The dance will be open to mem- bers of Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Nu and their guests. Committee members for the dance include: Bob Kelley, chair- man; Bob Herhusky, post-dance party on Saturday night; Mike Service, decorations; Stan Du- jnowski and Bill Keeler, publicity and Ted Haner, refreshments. 2InClvlad The softball tournament will go into its third week of play with the following games scheduled : Monday at 5:10 pm. - Mosher I vs. Kappa Kappa Gamma III Newberry I vs. Hollis House *; Adelia Cheever vs. Pi Beta Phi I *; Delta Delta Delta I vs. Alpha Gamma Delta I *; at 7 p.m. - Stockwell III vs. Martha Cook II *; Stockwell II vs. Jordan VII *; Alpha Xi Delta II vs. Jordan IV Stockwell IV vs. Kleinstueck I *.
