THE ANN ARBOR League of Women Vot-
ers got a chance the other day to carry
off a project which they had been contem-.
plating for several years. They wanted to
hold a "birthday party" for all the 1951
twenty-one year olds in town, in order to
instill a little political consciousness in the
new voters. But until a few weeks ago, they
had no way to finance it.
Then, a genie in the form of an enter-
prising editor of McCall's magazine show-
ed up, offering to pay for the whole af-
fair. They were planning a story based on
the activities of Nancy Watkins, president
of the literary college senior class, and
they contemplated using photographs tak-
en at this party.
So the League of Women Voters proceeded
with arrangements. They secured Governor
G. Mennen Williams and Auditor General
John Martin, Jr., to speak briefly, and began
sending invitations. Then, they contacted
the newspapers.
Both the Ann Arbor News and The Daily
agreed that the project sounded good, and
began to run stories publicizing it. The fact
that McCall's was footing the bill was never
brought out to either paper, although some
mention was made of the fact that the
magazine intended to cover the event. With
this viewpoint in mind, The Daily and the
News went ahead, pushing hard, and it was
probably because of the extensive publicity
that close to 100 21-year-olds showed up on
Tuesday night.
But when the newspaper photographers
walked in that evening, representatives
from McCall's refused to allow pictures to
be taken, saying that since their maga-
zine was paying for the affair they had
exclusive rights to the pictures.
Naturally enough this left the newspapers
with an extremely sour taste. McCall's maga-
zine should, perhaps, take the largest part
of the blame, for not making clear what
their demands wereto be. At any rate, the
ruse, if that is what it was, must be regard-
ed as quite unethical. It is perhaps too bad
that the League of Women Voters, an en-
tirely worthwhile and constructive organiza-
tion, had to slide into disfavor in such a
simple fashion.,
Holiday
pHE IMMEDIATE reaction to the news
that the Deans' Conference ha approv-
ed the Thanksgiving holiday for 1952 and
1953 is most naturally "It's about time."
Those that have watched the Student
Legislature throughout their long fight
must give hearty congratulations to all
that had a part in the solution.
And congratulations also go to the admin-
istration which has finally shown that -it
isn't just turning its back when approached
by student leaders. True, the proposal is only
on a trial basis, but it is a step of great
proportion in the movement for an effective
student government.
The Thanksgiving holiday has long been
a test issue by which many students, per-
ha.ps too many, have evaluated the effi-
cacy of the SL. Yesterday's announcement
will prove to skeptics that a student gov-
ernment can accomplish something.
A great amount of credit must go to the
three student legislators who personally
sparked the drive this year and last-Irv
Stenn, Bob Neary and Dave Belin. They con-
tinually refused to give up despite seem-
ingly endless procrastination.
The library solution gave the SL a pre-
carious breath of life. The Thanksgiving so-
lution may mark its emergence into ma-
turity.

The Tall Target starring Dick Powell and
Adolph Menjou
ONE OF THE more unhappy requirements
in doing some movie reviews is having
to see the movie. A painful example of that
unhappy requirement is to be found in this
cloak and dagger adventure of Civil War
vintage.
The two lead roles are well played by
Powell and Menjou, but even this fails to
spark up a picture whose major short-
coming is a very slow-moving scenario.
The story is in the'nature of an historical
fiction and deals with a diabolically exe-
cuted attempt to assassinate Abraham
Lincoln,
Although the tension scenes are of better
than average caliber, they are too long and
drawn out to be dramatically effective. In
fact, the continuing efforts to arouse sym-
pathetic anxiety on the hero's behalf ulti-
mately become so frustrating that the spec-
tator finds himself shifting uncomfortably
in his seat. It was noted that a large number
Ann Arbor Trial
T HE SLAYING of Pauline Campbell, late
of Washington Heights Avenue and St.
Joseph's Mercy Hospital, 'was finally settled
Tuesday night. A jury convicted its three
perpetrators of the crime. William Morey
and Max Pell were found guilty of murder in
the first degree and David Royal received a
second degree conviction. In general, it was
a just verdict under the circumstances. Roy-
al's contribution to the homicide was unwit-
ting for the most part, and he deserved a
lesser penalty.
It is not the verdict, however, that re-
quires much attention. The "why" of that
is fairly easy to see. The graver question,
the "why" of the murder itself, is not. It
is a question that was asked by the defense
attorneys dozens of times during the trial,
and answered by the prosecutor in a doz-
en different ways. The prosecutor's in-
terest, however, lay in calling the reason
for the crime robbery, and thus establish
a first-degree intent in the killing. The
judge thought the question was "irrele-
vant and immaterial." To the defense, it
was improvident to go too deeply into the
issue-their contention was that Morey
and Pell were drunk and hence unable to
know why they did anything.
Reviving the question now is perhaps the
only thing of importance left in the case.
Were it not for the constant bewildered at-
tempts to smile on the part of Morey's fa-
ther, the dazed expression on the face of
Mrs. Pell, even the quiet wonder of the Royal
brothers and sisters from Milan; it might be
possible to accept the prosecutor's facile ex-
planation that the defendants had killed be-
cause they needed money for gasoline. But
looking at the Moreys and the Pells, who had
"given their children everything," you some-
how knew with them that it wasn't so. These
pathetically sophisticated young men did not
need what was in a nurse's pocketbook. They
had vented a much deeper urge within them,
an urge symptomatic of complete insecurity,
of an instinctive craving for the absolute
test of authority.
In a way, it was an old story. In the days
of Dreiser and the Hearst sob-sisters, it was
fashionable to blame such crimes on society.
Now, Prosecutor Reading seemed to think it
was more generous to say that they had act-
ed with the motive of robbery. "The best
thing you can say for these boys is that they
killed for money," he said. And no one con-
tradicted him. It was better to regard them
as practical killers than to admit their en-
vironments had left such vast moral and
spiritual voids that they were impelled to
bludgeon a 34-year-old woman to death to
achieve any kind of self-realization in their
world.
Morey and Pell themselves are perhaps too
remote to worry about any longer. The ifact
that they found the rootless and material-
istic environment in which they were rais-
ed too overbearing a burden is unfortun-
ate. What they really wanted were the
things that money couldn't buy; they
wanted a confidence, an assurance that
was impossible in the moral vacuum in
which they were raised. It is the vacuum
of the churches, of the schools, of the gov-
ernment. It is this that lies at the root of
the Campbell murder.
From the beginning there was something
rotten about the Morey-Pell-Royal trial,
something more rotten than the murder it-
self. Amid all the railing for the guilt of the
defendants, all the sentimentality for their
innocence, there was at all times the blandest
confidence on the part of the older genera-
tion that they could pass on the sins of the
children. The judge, the over-50 jury, thea
flailing attorneys all in that one perfect ac-
cord met to make the ex-post-facto remedy
for the disaster. It was all part of a routine.
The waving of exhibits, the shouting of the
lawyers, even the tears of the mothers all
had their precedent. Atone, children! That is
all that is left for you. A cynical, smirking
atonement.
The prisoners in this case do not really
know why they are going to Jackson for life.
Morey, who gave one of the most extrava-
gant B picture performances on the stand,
made his final gesture as he arose after the
verdict. Not only were his parents rewarded
with the same fishy smile he had given them
every day of the trial but, besides, he clapped
his, hand companionably to the shoulder of
his smooth, middle-aged lawyer, almost as if
to let him know he appreciated the droll
irony of the situation. His baby-faced com-
posure never faltered. Even the conviction
did not mean anything. Having thrashed out
in the rockless sea, he finally found the
millstone tied around his neck. Sinking, it all
seemed part of the moment's joke.
So the story was ended. Murder still is
not usual. Only rarely does that peculiar
chemical combination of circumstances
and individuals unite for the violent ex-
plosion. Rarely does that flair for the the-
atrical, that lust for the limit, that touch
of lunacy blend in one person the way it
did in W. R. Morey, III. Still there is noth-
ing really surprising in Morey's having
killed somebody. It is a kind of violence
that is an inevitable phenomenon of a way
of life. It is the visible excrescence on that
body of society that is so finely formed,
so well clothed, so richly endowed-so shot
full of disease.
On December 4 when they are sentenced,
convicts Morey, Pell, and Royal will begin
their atonement. Their heads will be high,
their chins out. You ought to see how three
eighteen-year-olds look in full swagger to-
ward a prison where they will spend the rest
of their lives. Don't read about them or listen
to their exploits over the radio. Go on down
and look at them.

In
Language Requirement I
To the Editor:
HAVE a sneaking suspicion that
the paucity of objections to the
University's proposed compulsory
two year language study arises
from the fear of being branded
as a cultural barbarian. Barbar-
ian or no, I've spotted the whites
of the enemy's eyes.
Let us clearly recognize that
language proficiency is a means
to an end, and not an end in itself.
(To be able to fluently express
ignorance in a dozen languages
commends one's learning only to
the ignorant.) That end is ac-
quaintance with the thought, in-
stitutions, traditions and general
culture patterns of other peoples.
But-until a student can handle
a foreign language competently,
his preoccupation with the me-
chanics of the language militate
against his acquiring very much
substantive information. A n d
when he reaches the point of
competence, he rarely uses his
tool again. In all probability, not
over five percent will read foreign
publications after graduating or
retain their language mastery long
enough to use it effectively during
their infrequent trips abroad.
It is alleged that one must study
a foreign language in order to
understand the exquisite nuances
of thought which can not be sat-
isfactorily translated into the
English language. I suspect that
whatever exquisite subtleties defy
the immensely rich English lang-
uage will probably escape 95% of
us anyhow.
I enthusiastically endorse the
proposition that America's world
leadership position renders im-
perative a better popular under-
standing and appreciation of oth-
er peoples. But I submit that the
proposed language requirement is
an outrageously inefficient means
of reaching that end.
On the other hand, a very per-
suasive argument can be made
for requiring an intensive two
year study of a foreign country
or countries from materials al-
ready available in the English
language. This study would yield
rich results to students while in
college and would frequently cre-
ate a permanent interest in the
subject matter, an interest influ-
encing reading habits even after
the commencement speech. And
that, after all, should be the su-
preme goal of a University.
Having endeared myself to the
language department, I shall now
hie myself to the storm cellar for-
merly occupied by those who first
challenged the desirability of
compulsory Latin courses.

ON THE
Washington Merry-Gio-Rounld
WITH DREW PEARSON
IF
WASHINGTON--"Will-he-won't-he" Eis-
enhower-Governor Dewey did not meet
secretly with Eisenhower at the Waldorf as
reported last week. A Broadway columnist
got that one mixed with a Waldorf meeting
which did take place betwee'n Dewey, Sena-
tor Duff of Pennsylvania, Herbert Brownell,
the Dewey GOP mentor, and Gen. Lucius
Clay. Georgia-born Clay, a lifelong Demo-
crat, is .now in the Eisenhower camp. The
meeting discussed ways and means of round-
ing up delegates despite the fact that Ike
cannot declare until next {spring. It now
seems certain that Ike will face President
Truman in the Oregon primary-whether he
likes it pr not. He will also face Taft in the
Republican side of that primary. Ike's name
has been entered on both the GOP and Demo
tickets, which makes Oregon the most sig-
nificant test of poliitcal strength in the
country-namely, Eisenhower vs. Taft and
Eisenhower vs. Truman.
INSIDE WASHINGTON -- Dictator
Franco may be scratching the barrel back
in Spain, but he seems to have plenty of
dough to spend on lobbying in Washing-
ton. Chief Franco lobbyist Charles Pat-
rick Clark sometimes passes out $20 tips
to Mayflower Hotel waiters when order-
ing sandwiches and coffee . . . Down in
Texas, they are not ifeeling so lush. The
City of Houston has been struggling for
some months to raise $8,510.55 to pay its
entertainment bill for Douglas MacAr-
thur. Glenn McCarthy, the Houston Ho-
tel owner, is even putting the bite on San
Antonio, Ft. Worth and Austin to help out,
while in Athens, Texas, (noted for peach-
es, peas, potatoes, peanuts, pigs, pottery,
petroleum and phiddling) the folks auc-
tioned off one can of black-eyed peas to
help Glenn McCarthy. The can sold for
$1.93 .... Chief expense of the MacArthur
trip was a special airplane rented from
Eastern Airlines.
MONTY AND IKE--Field Marshal Mont-
gomery of Great Britain has sent a message
to General Eisenhower urging him to con-
tinue as Supreme Allied Commander. Mont-
gomery said he had heard Ike planned to
quit in February, return to the United States
and run for President. Warning that Western
defense would fall apart when Eisenhower
left, Monty urged that he reconsider . ...
Eisenhower hasn't answered the message yet
but I predict he will say no man is indis-
pensable .

"Ruddigore," with a host of exhuberant
Gilbert and Sullivan Society members,
WHEN Mad Margaret, one of "Ruddi-
gore's" more spirited characters, finds
her emotions running away with her, she
pulls herself together wth the catch word,
"basinstoke."
For the sake of clarity and a half-way
restrained review, this writer hereby takes
the liberty of mentally applying the catch
to herself..
For last night's performance of Gilbert
and Sullivan's snappy operetta was one of
and well performed, the production held
the audience fast as the participants romped
through their show with a sharpness which
managed to do justice to quick G and S
humor.
It would be impossible to cite one high-
light or one outstanding performance. Hero,
Dave Murray, sailor half-brother, Frank
Porretta and ghost Jim Ueberhorst all were
excellent,
Heroine Lois Wasserman was a charming
sweet innocent, but her soprano voice lacked
power. The aforementioned Mad Margaret
(Carole Anderson) made up for a fairly
good singing voice with her slightly specta-
cular characterization of the nill-witted lady.
