PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY IRIDAY, OUI OBEIL 19, 1851 R'AG~ £~UJI UDA, OCW$EI 19,1_. Med School Blanks THE MEDICAL SCHOOL has not changed its policy. Its new application blank is merely the product of a "routine" printing. The secretary of the Medical School, Prof. Wayne L. Whitakgr, has emphasized these facts about the new application. Yet Student Legislature mentors who worked to have "potentially discriminatory" questions removed from University appli- cation blanks foresee no more need for ac- tion in this field. In fact, they appeared "happy about the blank change. "With the Medical School's action our aim is accomplished," they said. "We hope they will comply with.the spirit of the action." According to secretary Whitaker, there was no "spirit" behind the action. We can hardly disagree with Prof. Whit- aker. True, removed from the form are certain queries on religion, race, nationality, former name if changed, family citizenship and a required photograph. But there are some substitutions for these questions, and in one case, a "loaded" ques- tion has been added. In place of former name if changed is the query, "name used in high school rec- ords, if different." "Nationality" has been replaced by, "are you a United States citi- zen?" Added is the question on mother's occupation, which accompanies, one on the father's occupation. And remaining from the days of the old controversy is the query, "place of birth." Even if we accede that the blank is an im- provement over the old form, it cannont be denied that it leaves much to be desired. But over and above these mechanical as- pects is the fact that while the new form is hailed by these currently working on the discrimination problem in SL as a step for- ward, that phase of the action is ignored completely by the Medical School. The Dean's Conference recommenda- tions of last January, which suggested the removal of "potentially discriminatory" questions from University application blanks, are not even credited with influ- encing the changes in the form. These, then, must be merely "routine," as Prof. Whitaker has said. This leads to an overwhelming question: What kind of an aim did the SL Campus Action Committee have, anyway? Some of the revisions don't even look good on paper. -Donna Hendleman The Bane of Power EGYPT HAS TAKEN up the gauntlet from where Iran left off in the assertion of national independence. The concourse of events in the Near East to oust Britain're- sounds like a melodramatic play. In the last quarter of the 19th century, Britain was a dominant power to be reckoned with from 9airo to Teheran and from Bagdad to Aden. During that period, she possessed a re- nowned navy that ruled the waves. Her vast but scattered empire was one upon which the sun never set, and from which she could draw with ease a reserve of manpower to forstall any nation which threatened her interests and security. But the two World Wars weakened Bri- tain's position. They wrecked an empire Jwhich had been built on the fallacy of "might is right." The wars destroyed the hopes of this apparently insignificant is- land which fed upon the natural re- sources and cheap labor of the so-called backward areas. Egypt was no exception. In 1882, she came under the political and military control of Britain because of her weak form of govern- ment. In later years, Egyptian nationalism broke British influence, and British troops were withdrawn from that country. In 1922, Britain awarded Egypt her independence on the condition that the latter rant her a right to share in the control of the Suez, thereby protecting her life line to the Fari East. What Egypt really enjoyed was a limited independence with a puppet sovereign. In 1898, Lord Kitchner over-ran the Sudan and established British despotism. The following year, a condominium was set up in the Sudan, with the title of Anglo- Egyptian Sudan. In 1936, after nearly ten years of hopeless negotiation, Britain and Egypt signed a formal treaty by which Britain was to protect the Suez, use Cairo and Alexandria for military purposes un- til such time that Egypt could alone pro- vide for their defense. Meanwhile, Britain could quarter a garri- son of 10,000 troops and 400 pilots in the canal zone. The treaty could be revised in 1956 or my mutual consent in 1946. After World War II, Egypt denanded that the treaty be reexamined for change, and that CIINIEMA Architecture Auditorium IVAN THE TERRIBLE, with Nikolai Cherkassov (Alexander Neusky) and vari- ous other nine syllable characters at the Architecture Auditorium. "JVAN the Terrible" has been about the only thing heard from the great Russian producer, Eisenstein, since he supposedly in- curred the displeasure of the big guys in the Kremlin. Although Eisenstein demonstrates his mastery of the use of sound in this film, he offers only silent film-type overact- ing, in three reels of almost flawless pho- tographic perfection. Each scene shows carefully arranged composition, balance, emphasis and relation of lights and sha- dows. Contrived perfection however, soon becomes boring. The film has value as an historical docu- ment of Ivan IV, his coronation, marriage to Anastasia and attempt to unite Russia, spiced with an occasional "we shall protect the rights of the workers and tradesmen." The saga of war, troop movements and ginpowder shows Eisenstein at his best pro- viding all the pomp and massiveness of a DeMille epic without the element of sex. Ivan, having conquered the tartars, con- tracts brain fever, and silken bear grown mangy, face aged thirty years, he is pro- nounced dead while against his dying wish- es, his hulking cronies proceed to crown Vladimir, an idiot with sensuous lips, Czar of Russia. Ivan fools them all by not dying-passes a crisis, and renews his conquests ending Britain withdraw from the Suez and the Sudan. It is against this brief historical background that one should view the tran- sient events in that area. * * * SINCE IRAN pulled the trigger of Arab na- tionalism, it is natural for other nations of the Near East to intensify the pressure of their demands. In recent years, Egypt had blown hot and cold. She had not actually de- cided upon what policy of action to take. The fresh success of Iran in throwing out the "rump" personnel of the British Oil Com- pany at Abadan has put new blood into tFlie nationalism of the Egyptian people. The masses are in revolt against foreign interference on their soil and in their na- tional affairs. It is the logic of history that whenever a people become too sensi- tive to their miseries they will take the challenge, and go to any extent to seek redress. The Americans did it in 1776 in their struggle for political and economic independence. So, in Egypt and in other areas of the Near East where thereis un- rest, it is the people, not their Parliaments, who have come to the forefront of the struggle. The Parliaments merely have to comply to the will of the people which is supreme law. Such law transcends any obligations arising from unequal treaties. Those nations who have taken side with thei British and put the Egyptian Govern. ment to task for abrogating the treaty of 1936 should reckon with the factor of na- tionalism. It is a tide of passion which the weapons of war, power politics or prestige cannot ebb; it will merely be flamed to ex- tremity. The Western Powers involved should tem- per their judgement with caution and sober reflection. War over the question of the Suez cannot breed goodwill but only more hatred of the West by the teeming millions of Arabs, Asians and Africans who are struggling for their national freedom. A state of war which is already aglow in the Suez will certainly justify the fears of the underdog that the West is interested in preserving the decadant status quo of colonialism rather than in up- holding the right of a people for self-deter- mination. It is incompatible with the tenets of Western Democracy: national indepen- dence, freedom and fairplay. THE UNITED STATES, France, Turkey along with a belligerent Britain have made a formal proposal to Egypt to accede to a joint defense program of the Near East. This writer is constrained to hold that such a move was undiplomatic since the nations involved ought to have known earlier the strained situation in that region. The question as to whether Egypt can defend the Suez is important, but the choice to reassert her sovereign right is more significant and meaningful. On the other hand, Egypt has no right to decide for the Sudanese under what form of government they should live. But it is certainly an abuse of power that allows Britain to uphold the amoral right of a treaty which she imposed upon the Egyp- tian people at a time when she encouraged Mussolini's Ethiopian conquest by way of the Suez. --Ojeamiren Ojehomon Pin~tted Peh° READERS OF yesterday's Daily could eas- ily believe that the Inter-Fraternity Council has gotten itself off the hook as far as ever doing anything concrete about re- moving fraternity bias clauses. And they might well be right. When IFC dropped its anti-bias resolution Wednesday night, it in effect released itself from any binding agree- ment to stamp out discriminatory measures in constitutions of locally represented fra- ternities. But IFC's obligation to take effective action in this problem is still felt through- out most of the campus. Whether IFC rec- ognizes this is now the question. According to Daily reporter Sid Klaus, who covered the proceedings Wednesday, the majority of fraternity men at the meeting acted in good faith. They fully intend-in the near future-to attempt to solve the discrimination riddle. That's why they set up a study committee which will be required to report its decision on how to get rid of the bias measures by December. As for doing away with the old anti-bias resolution the IFC's reasoning supposedly went like this: it is questionable that the Council can really refuse campus existence to fraternities which do not make an honest attempt to erase the bias clauses from their national constitutions; there will be no na- tional conventions during the period the study committee is conducting its investi- gation anyway; therefore, let's just drop the innocuous resolution right now. There probably was nothing intentionally underhanded in this action. But despite the logic behind the decision, to most people the now defunct resolution was the only guaran- tee that IFC really was acting and not just thinking or investigating. The new commit- tee to them seems a weak replacement. And just what the committee offers will be interesting. On the one hand the Coun- cil does not feel that it can refuse recog- nition to houses that do not rid them- selves of discriminatory clauses. But on the other it is questionable that an appeal to the Student Affairs Committee would fare any better than the Stpdent Legisla- ture motion that finally fell under past- president Ruthven's veto. Of course the Council's study and educational program could be continued to prove to apathetic fraternity men that discrimination is bad. If anything of this type is accepted as a final solution by IFC, it has failed What is needed is a strong program of pressure on the chapters by IFC. The pres- sure must be immediate. Finding this pro- gram now rests squarely on IFC's new com- mittee. If it fails, it is probable that the bias clauses will live on and on. -Vernon Emerson Great Debate WHILE HIGH SCHOOL debators open their season with trifling national and international issues, campus orators have penetrated to the core of one of the most burning issues confronting the American public today. In the Speech Assembly debate Wednes- day, representatives of affiliates and in- dependents clashed violently over the vital question of where to-live at college and the great cultural and philosophical con- flicts involved in making the decision. Magnificently timed after rushing was ov- er (in order to give pledges a new insight into their momentous move), the debate was heated and controversial. And some telling points were made. Famed independent leader Tom Murray summed up the values of fraternities and sororities in one terse flare of profundity: "'IFC sure sings wonderfully." And on the other side of the ledger, those who had aligned themselves with the forces of Gre- cian brotherhood argued that affiliates gain social polish and friendship from joining. Aside from these recently discovered fact- ors, some sparkling and refreshingly original points were brought out: living in dormitor- ies is stifling to personality development be- cause of regulations, poor food and the large and transient quality of the residents. On the other hand, one gains an opportunity to meet a broad cross-section of people and make many acquaintances. Fraternities and sororities are handicap- ped by high rates, social pressure and snob- bery. And yet they do afford a chance to know a few people well and have a feeling of belonging. Such information will, of course, be helpful to both freshmen and uninformed oldsters who have not fully comperhended the wide and sometimes disastrous cleav- age which separates white bucks and army boots. Having touched on this taboo and rarely aired problem, debators should next turn to a discussion of the merits and disadvantages of religion, -Barnes Connable Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of ty.' writers only. NIGHT EDITOR: CAL SAMRA Tug Week I -Daily-Bill Hampton DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN ON THE Washington Merry-Go-Round with DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON-A man who wasn't there-General Eisenhower- was the main topic of discussion at a meeting of Taft-for-Presi- dent advisers in Washington recently. Cincinnati's Ben Tate, head of Standard Brands and a top Taft backer, made it plain that Taft forces will throw the book at Eisenhower if he enters the GOP presidential race. Remarked the usually jovial Tate: "If the General gets in th6 campaign, he'll have to take it like any other candidate. Just because he's been in uniform doesn't give him any immunity from the searching cross-examination of voters. -SMEAR CAMPAIGN STARTS- SENATOR TAFT probably doesn't know this, but some of his cohorts already have launched the smear-Eisenhower campaign hinted at by Ben Tate. First attempt to scare the General out of the Presidential primar. ies came from Westbrook Pegler last week when he reported Ike's al- leged flirtation with an English WAC during the war, and warned that President Truman would use this to wipe up the General if he got into the presidential race. Actually, certain Republicans, not Truman, are more likely to use this against Eisenhower. In fact, they've already started. It happens that Truman and Eisenhower not only are friends, but Truman was deeply grateful to Ike for staying out of the 1948 race when Ike could have had the Democratic nomination for the asking, but when Truman wanted it more than anything else in this world. So if Eisenhower really wants to run this time, it's a fairly good bet that Truman won't. Meanwhile, the Westbrook Peglers and other smear-Eisenhower artists might look up the below-the-belt tactics used against Grover Cleveland. They elected him. -JESSUP AND EISENHOWER- HOSE WHO WATCHED the senate hearings on Ambassador Philip Jessup detected a smear-Eisenhower undertone in that proceeding also. For Jessup is a' Columbia University professor who not only serv- ed on Eisenhower's faculty, but received a letter from Ike defending him against the McCarthy Pro-Communist attack. Seated across the table from Jessup during the senate hearings was a Republican who has vowed to stop Eisenhower and whoa has staked his entire political future on Taft-Owen Brewster of Maine.
