THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE. SE~N FOURTH COOK LECTURE: 'Free Man' Society's Tank A ids Strays Goal--Maclver * ' "The goal of society is to attain the free life of man," Prof. Robert M. MacIver declared in his com- parison of democracy and socializ- ed economy. In his fourth lecture in the Cook series, Prof. MacIver asserted that contrary to many beliefs socialism and capitalism are merely means to attain that goal. He spoke in Rackham Lecture Hall yesterday. IN CONTRASTING the demo- cratic a n d socialistic systems, Prof. MacIver noted that the democratic process of first at- taining authority from the con- sensus of the people and from that authority gaining power, is revers- ed in a socialist state. In that type of state the government first as- sumes power, derives, its author- Exotic Dance Steps To Have Premiere Here in 'Gondoliers' By WENDY OWEN Three Venetian-inspired dance steps, the cachuca, fandango and bolero will receive their Ann Ar- bor premiere when the Gilbert and Sullivan Society's production of "Gondoliers" opens Dec. 13. The cachuca, originally a Vene- tian folk-dance, was resurrected by Gilbert when writin- the li- bretto for the twin-mixup plot laid in Venice. On stage at Pattengill Speech Production ITo Continue Today The speech department's pro- duction of "Caesar and Cleopatra" will continue its run at 8 p.m. to- day at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Written by' George Bernard Shaw, the play is a vivid charac- terization of two of the world's greatest monarches. The comedy was produced on Broadway last year and was a cri- tical and box office success. Lilli Palmer and Cedric Hardwicke co- ~4arred. Tickets for today and tomorrow's terformances are on sale at the Lydia Mendelssohn box office. The tickets cost $1.20, $.90 and $.60.

Modern socialism bases its case upon two major pleas, he explained. First, that gross inequality of opportunity, wealth and power exists in democracy, because that power is concentrated in a small elite group, and that modern ca- pitalistic society is unable to meet the demands of modern existence. "Total equality cannot exist," MacIver conceded, "but the duty of democracy is to extend equity as much as possible." HE EXPLAINED that in a soc- ialistic planned economy, equality of opportunity is impossible be- cause all power is concentrated at one source, the government. There is a definite distinction between the so-called welfare state and a socialistic state, he pointed out. "It is proper for the govern- ment to protect the health and welfare of the people, but not to take over everything," he as- serted. "There is a great differ- ence between regulating and tak- ing control." "In contrast to p l a n n e d economy," MacIver declared that "Democracy is always aspiring and never quite attaining--and that is the way of all life." Prof. Mac Iver will conclude the series with a lecture titled "Con- clusions for America" at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in Rackham Lecture Hall. chorus will put in the Venetian atmosphere with a double-suffle hip twist. This particular maneuver re- quired hours of practice to per- fect, since neither the modern rhumba nor tango provided the proper background for learning the twist Instead of simply leaning on one hip, dancers had to take a step at the same time. Catastrophes during the learn- ing processwere frequent because many of the dancers could not twist and step at the same time without landing in undignified postures on the floor. AFTER MASTERING the intri- cacies of the cachuca, the group tackled the fandango. This was the antecedent of the rhumba, so the participants considered it would be a snap. , They had not realized that coreographer Jimmie Lopaugh, '51 SM, decided that some new angles should be added. The fan- dango, as he planned it will be executed by the dancing chorus rhumbaing in a straight line backed up by the 50-man regu- lar chorus. It will break naturally into the bolero, which will be a combina- tion of the two steps. The hip- twist will be used as the indivi- dual dancers circle their partners in traditional rhumba fashion. This will all be according to pre- vious Gilbert and Sullivan tradi- tion which demands that the en-- tire stage be filled with cavorting couples during the finale of the shcw "Gondoliers" will open a three night run Dec. 13 in the Patten- gill Auditorium of Ann Arbor High School. Tickets for the production will go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday in the Administration Bldg.

UNDERSTANDING NEEDED': Kenyon President Cites Role Of Education in World Crisis Union Travel. Group Offers Bowl Rides The goal of "California here we come" came a little closer yes- terday as the Union Travel Ser-a vice announced plans for a share- the-ride plan for Rose Bowl-boundt students.{ The new program of pairing Pas- adena headed drivers and riders is in addition to the regular Travel Service plan which is currently pairing travelers for the Christ- mas vacation. * * THE SERVICE, which began} last year, got off to a fast start this semester with the task of' providing rides for Thanksgiving' vacation and the Columbus weekend. Over 100 students were{ fixed up with transportation to all parts of the East and Midwest. "The biggest need," according to co-director Jack Ehlers '53, "is for drivers to Pasadena.t Would - be drivers or riders should fill out cards in the Un- ion lobby and drop them in the boxes beneath the map of their geographic goal." Prospective drivers are so much in demand, Ehlers added, that if they can't get over to the Union they may call 2-4431 and their names will be listed anyway. GOING ON past experience, co- director Mervyn Manning, said said that drivers to New York, Chi- cago, and Cleveland would prob- ably be in short supply. "It's a good deal," they decid- ed. "There's no cost to riders ex- cept their share of driving ex- penses. And the drivers get chance to cut their traveling costs and have some company to boot." "And we would hate to have any of our 'clients' walking to Pasa- dena." Both directors urged that stu- dents sign up early as last minute arrangements h'ad been known to get confused in the rush. 'Ticket Sale Opens For Detroit Play Theatre trip tickets for tomor- row's evening performance of "I Know My Love" in Detroit will be on sale today and tomorrow in the Union Lobby.

Directed by Prof. Maynard Klein of the School of Music, the Arts Chorale is a non-credit choir com- posed of students from ten -col- leges in the University with only a small number coming from the music school. It was formed primarily for the purpose of singing and enjoying great choral music. Only through such groups, according to Prof. Klein, can the great amount'of vocal talent on campus be some- what satisfied. The selection of music for Arts Chorale is based on the same pat- tern used by the University Choir. Highlighting tomorrow night's concert is the first Ann Arbor per- formance of Benjamin Britten's "Hymn to St. Celilia" and an ex- cerpt from Smetena's opera "The Bartered Bride." Among the Christmas music that is programmed is Mendel~ohn's "There Shall a Star Come out of Jacob," Tschesnokoff's "Salvation is Created," Martin Shaw's "Fan- U PORTRAITS and GROUP PHOTOGRAPHS CONCERT TOMORROW: Choral Group To Perform fare for Ctristmas Day," Vaughn Williams' "The Truth Sent From Above" and "The Morning Star" by Praetorius. Other works on the program are Mozart's "Ave Verum Corpus" Far- rant's "Call to Remembrance" and Nantock's "O What a Lovely Ma- gic Hath Been Here." The concert will be open to the public free of charge. 'i, .e - V VsV:ac VVs ;. 4I 4' 4 S ' P.Imepr s udt4 4lg 8a 4f {b U. fn Phone 2-2072 208 Mich.

The Communist regards the individual as a "means" to be controlled by the government, which is the "end." On the oth- er hand, here in the United States the dignity of the indivi- dual is the chief object of the government, Chalmers added. "In thisbcountry, majority rule, tempered by justice, is the aim of our government," the college pres- ident said. "The only means we have of un- derstanding other peoples is to gain an understanding ofhtheir language and the best that has been said in it," he added. This of course entails a study of their literature, which should go as deep as their best poet, phi- losopher or saint has gone. What is important in our schools is that we teach students how to think, not what to think, Chalmers concluded.
