Direet Study
Of Heredity
Pairing up of males and females
in American cities will be of top
interest to the Heredity Clinic for
the next five years, thanks to a
$100,000 gift from an anonymous
donor.
The research program, to be
directed by Dr. Lee R. Dice, head
of the Heredity Clinic, will be to
study human mating selection in
the urban community.
* * *
IT IS SLATED to get underway
in the middle of September, Dr.
Dice announced.
The unknown donor's grant
will finance the entire project,
which will be set up as a sepa-
rate section of the Institute of
Human Biology, the newly-ap-
proved name for the laboratory
effective July 1.
"The purpose of the research is
to determine, assortative mating
patterns in the city," Dr. Dice ex-
plained, "or to explore the ten-
dency of like persons to mate with
like."
"THE RESULTS of this pro-
gram will be an aid in predicting
the trends of population in here-
dity in future years," he said.
"We will have to develop new
techniques of study to carry on
this program," Dr. Dice said,
"which promises to be the most
extensive of its kind yet under-
taken." A random sampling of a
city population will probably be
used for the investigation, ac-
cording to Dr. Dice, with Ann
Arbor tentatively designated as
the sample community.

The Russians and the weather
were only two of many reasons
why writer-director George Seaton
had a difficult time filming "The
Big Lift," which is currently be-
ing shown in Ann Arbor.
Seaton, who won an "oscar" for
his screenplay of "Miracle on 34th
Street," spent over nine months
in Berlin making the picture with
a crew of only 12 Americans.
WITH THE EXCEPTION of
Paul Douglas and Montgomery
Clift, the actors were either air
force personnel, German civilians
or German actors, Seaton explain-
ed in a recent West Coast inter-
view.
Judd To Speak
At Round Table
Mrs. Dorothy Judd will speak
on "A Citizen-Action Program -
Grand Rapids as an Example,"
before the Political Science Round
Table at 7:30 p.m. today in the
Rackham Amphitheater.
Long active in Grand .Rapids'
civic affairs, Mrs. Judd organized
a Citizen-Action group two years
ago which is credited with run-
ning machine politics out of the
Grand Rapids city government.
The meeting will be open to the
public.
The Russians proved to be a
nuisance in several ways.
"While we were shooting a scene
at the border of the Russian zone,
they set up loudspeakers and
played music all day, forcing us
to shoot the scene silently and
add sound to the picture later,"
Seaton complained.
* * *
AND THE Russian-inspired rail-
road strike forced Seaton, his wife,
two small children fnd the crew
to wait in a railroad car for over
72 hours before finally arriving in
Berlin. The run usually took about
six hours.
The weather proved a big hin-
drance to Seaton and his crew.
"Often we would get all our
equipment set to make a certain
shot and it would be too cloudy -
or in some cases too sunny - to
get what we wanted," Seaton ex-
plained.
LANGUAGE problems were an-
other headache to Seaton.
"When we first arrived in Berlin.
we had a very incompetant in-
terpreter and assistant directors
who didn't understand English.f
This resulted in the German ac-
tors being told to do the wrong
thing more often then not," Sea-
ton said.
"Eventually, the situation was
cleared up by getting a better in-
terpreter," he added.
* * *
TYPICAL of many of the small-
er problems which arose was the
fact that crowds would gather
every time shooting was attempt-
ed on what should have been an
empty street.
"We solved the problem by using
the old trick of setting up a dummy
camera, complete with an active
'cameraman,' at the other end of
the street to divert the attention
of the crowd," Seaton explained.
"Then, of course, we set up an
inconspicuous camera to do the
real shooting," he added.

"This film is plainly for
starting impassioned
discussion. For not
only does it have
forebearance for the
youthful principles in
an adulterous romance,
but it lays bare the
merciless irony in
certain conventional
attitudes. Perhaps the
finest, most mature
picture from post-war
France."

Like all of our basic freedoms, freedom of ex-
pression is precious to us beyond calculations. A
measure of the sincerity with which it is cherished is
the care with which it is treated. That care must
necessarily involve decency, dignity, good taste, high
moral purpose and above all, responsibility. When
that "freedom" is perverted by a failure to distinguish
it from corruption, infamy, slander and lies, it be-
comes transformed into its very opposite: license.
A democratic society has its responsibilities as
well as its freedoms. The Student Legislature assumed
none of the democratic responsibility of exercising dis-
cretion, when, without any investigation at all on its
part, it approved by a small majority the showing of
the film Birth of a Nation.
HAD THEY INVESTIGATED THE BACK-
GROUND AND CONTENT OF THIS FILM,
THEY WOULD HAVE FOUND THAT AC-
CORDING TO BOTH ITS WRITER (Rev. Thomas
Dixon, author of "The Clansmen" from which the
movie was taken) AND ITS PRODUCER (D. W.
Griffith), THE SOLE PURPQSE OF THE FILM'
WAS TO "CREATE A FEELING OF ABHOR-
RENCE IN WHITE PEOPLE TOWARD COLOR-
ED MEN."
Had they investigated, they would have found
that the film "identified Negroes with cruelty, super-
stition, insolence, and lust. It judged the Negro
unfit for freedom and civil rights and argued that
his liberation was a grave error." At one point it
bluntly editorialized that the South must be made
"safe" for the whites.
Had they investigated, they would have found
that the film thrillingly and gloriously justified the
rise of the Ku Klux Klan, which was "deified as the
savior of white womanhood."
Had the Student Legislature investigated before
making a rash and unpardonable decision, they would
have discovered that the producer-director, D. W.
Griffith, "employed every resource of movie magic
to stimulate his audiences to frenzied hatred of the
often advertised as "calculated to whip
into a frenzy . . . it will make you hate.
* * * *
Ever since the film's appearance in 1915, the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People, representing 15,000,000 and more Americans,
has been waging a ceaseless struggle to have this
vicious and insulting film withdrawn from circula-
tion. At this very moment in New York City, the
NAACP, the Urban League, The National Council
of Arts, Sciences and Professions, Labor unions,
Civic organizations, Church groups; all are staging
a mass protest against the recent re-release of this
picture.
'Walter White, a recognized leader among the
Negro people, has stated: "It is inexplicable why any-
one should revive a film like "The Birth of a Nation"
at this critical period of human history. During recent
months in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Europe,
I have seen American prestige sinking lower and
lower because of the foul propaganda of pictures like
Birth of a Nation.' No decent theater owner who
has any regard for the future of America would show
such a film nor should any decent American pay
money to see it."
We at the University of Michigan are at this
moment in a position of immense moral responsibility.
To withdraw the film now, once and for all, is to serve
notice to the entire nation that we, student and faculty,
Negro and white, Protestant, Catholic, and Jew stand
immovable in our complete rejection and repudiation
of all racist ideology in whatever form and under
whatever pretension it masquerades. To withdraw this
film is to prove that we are mature people, that we
understand fully our responsibility to democracy; that
we can intelligently distinguish between liberty and
license.
This would not simply be an act of good faith, a
hand of friendship extended to the Negro people; it
'is the profoundest service to the American People,
to their democratic institutions, and to those free-
doms, free from all taint of slander and insult, which
audiences
