PAGE SIX T HE MICH IGAN D AILY i SHENANIGANS: Clements Library Given Rare Edition with 'Past' TH URSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1951 Sz igeti Will National Defeise Program Come to Hill Will Lead To War:Boulding By JOYCE FICKIES A case of 19th century literary shenanigans was brought to light when Clements Library acquired one of the twelve known first edi- tions of "one of the most impor- tant works on French travel in America of the early nineteenth century." It all centered around a set of books, "Travel in America," writ- ten by Victor Collot, general in Napoleon's army and one time governor of Guadaloupe who was YR's Deeide No ecCarthy Lecture Here A twenty to four vote at the Young Republican club meeting last night defeated the resolution that Senator McCarthy be asked to speak here, settling for the time being the controversial issue that has caused such a fervor through- out the campus. The previous arguments were reiterated as several members spoke to the resolution in a large but comparatively quiet meeting. After the deciding vote, the club heard Prof. W. E. Stolper of the economics department, who, after .aligning himself with the anti- McCarthyites, proceeded to give a spirited attack on protective tariffs. sent here by the French govern- ment to gather information about the country and the people. The record of his travels in- cludes two texts and one twenty- six page atlas. * * * WHEN HE returned to France Collot had the account of his tra- vels printed. However, iri 1804, before they could be distributed for sale, he died and the hundred's of volumes were locked away by a publisher. In 1826 they were discovered by a book dealer. In order to increase the take for himself, he destroyed all but 400 copies, 300 of the French and 100 of the English. Today only eight French and four English volumes are known to exist. t * * THE EIGHTH French edition was purchased from a New York book dealer and given to the li- brary by the Clements Library As- sociates,a group of "friends of the library who buy books for it and help to support it." All eleven of the other copies are now owned by libraries in this country and in Europe. Copies of the French editions' are in the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, the Indiana Historical Society, the Newberry Library in Chicago, the Illinois State Historical Society, the Harvard Library and the Bib- liotheque Nationale in France.

S* * * * *. * * * Student Operas To Be Given Today iy Next e Internationally famous after two round-the-world tours, Joseph Szigeti, violinist, will appear Mon- day in Hilt Auditorium for the sec-I ond concert in the Choral Union S pries. Opening his program with the Tartini "Adagio," Szigeti will play selections by Bach, Paganini, Schubert, and Prokofieff. The highlight of his performance will be the Beethoven "Sonata No. 9 in A major." THE Hungarian-born violinist began his violin instruction under his father, and was later placed under the guidance of Jeno Hubay. At the age of twelve, he was ac- companied by Joachim, one of the great violinists of the 19th cen- tury, who enthusiastically predict- ed a great future for him. His career began with a per- formance in 1925 with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Leopold Stokowski. Recently he was voted one of the three dominating violin personalities of the world by the "Musical America" poll. Among the most widely traveled of virtuosi, he has also performed at the Prades Festival Featuring Genuine ITALIAN SPAGHETTI and RAVIOLI with Salad, Rolls, Coffee All foreign policies lead towar. This was the assertion made by Prof. Kenneth Boulding of the economics department last night in a lecture sponsored by the UNESCO Council. Students lined the walls and even sat on the floor to hear Prof. Boulding 'explain how our national defense program has brought the United States to a crisis, which like every arms race in history, must end in widespread conflict, * * * HE STATED two main reasons for the present national defense crisis: the fact that the United States and Russia are now the only two effective competitors for world power and that the world- wide technical revolution has made more resources available for defense. ItT itI7 Although Prof. Boulding believes that the technical revolution has made every nation, large or small, as obsolete as the ancient city- state, ie does not advocate a fed- eration of governments as the so- lution to the present world situa- tion. Americans have never exper- ienced the actual horrors of war and therefore are neither ready nor willing to give up their sov- ereignty in the interests of world federation, he stated. Ruling out any declaration of world inter - dependence, Prof. Boulding said that a possible so- lution to the national defense crisis might be a re-channeling of our resources into some useful project such as the Point Four program,. . of Al Kinds By CARA CHERNIAK Marking the first time that ser- ious opera has been written and produced at the University by stu- dents, two operas, "The Circus,, and "The Brass Ring" will be pre- SL Asks To Hear Rent Complaints Students living in rooming houses who feel their rents are un- duly high are invited to register their protests with the Student Legislature, Leah Marks, SL sec- retary, announced yesterday. If enough complaints are re- ceived, SL will undertake to recti- fy the situation and enter the rent control fight more actively, Miss Marks said. Overcharged students may reach Miss Marks either at the SL Building, 122 S.

The one-act operas were writ- ten by two School of Music gradu- ate students, Edward M. Chuda- coff and William I?. Petterson es- pecially for the Festival. The two composers were working under definite limitations-their operas could have only a very small cast, a small orchestra, and could not exceed 25 minutes.t * * * , IN ADDITION, cost of the pro- duction had to be kept to a mini- 'War Skies 'Again The Young Progressives held their first meeting of the year yesterday in the Union.

The music school professor is in charge of arrangements for the productions. "In this way it was possible to produce opera on the same level as grand opera with a minimum of expense," Finney said. This type of approach is an ex- periment in modern opera pro- duction, Finney explained. It is simple and direct, a link between regular opera and "television op- era," he said. To conclude the festival a final program will be held Oct. 17 at Hill Auditorium when Wayne Dunlap conducts the University Symphony Orchestra. The program will in- clude "first performances," stu- dent works which have not been played before. Slosson Says U.S. Morality Up to Standard Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the history department declared yes- terday that public morality in the United States today compares "favorably" with past standards. In some cases, such as in the press and in government, morality has made great strides even in the last 50 years, Prof. Slosson said. Comparing the standards of this country with others the current affairs expert stated "they prob- ably are lower than Swiss, Dutch, Scandinavian or British Common- wealth standards of the present, but probably higher than those of any other country today." Concerning the present moral state of politics in the United States, Prof. Slosson looked back on the vicious campaigns of Jack- son and Cleveland's timne. He ex- pressed the belief that although some slander and spite may re- main today it does not create as critical a problem as in the days past.
