PanHel Bias Program

AFTER MANY MONTHS of denial, the
Panhellenic Association has finally ad-
mitted the presence of bias clauses in some
local sorority constitutions.
This late revealing of the truth makes
the situation look even more sour than
the mere presence of the clauses, for
every house president reportedly answered
with a flat "no" last semester when asked
if their houses had discriminatory con-
stitutions. Obviously, they were either
ashamed to admit to the true situation
or were afraid to be drawn into the then
prominent bias controversy. The first
reason would be too inocuous for belief;
it is only left to suppose that some sorori-
ties had the gall to withhold the informa-
tion for safety's sake.
Thus, while the Inter-Fraternity Council
went through the mill, their sister organiza-
tion sat back and basked in solemn right-
eousness. They had pulled a veil over the
truth and evidently thought they could let
it go at that.
Now the situation has been revealed to the
campus in its true light, and Panhellenic
president, Beverly Clarke, has issued a state-
ment that the Panhellenic is ready to co-
operate with the Student Legislature to
erase the problem.
But lest anyone might be too anxious,
she has accompanied this avowal with
a gem "tF a statement for the benefit of
any hot heads who might question either
the fundamentals of the argument, or the
deceit connected with it.
"The presidents feel that the problem
concerns the sorority system only and not
the campus at large."
This old familiar line is, of course, the
polite way to say, "none of your business,"
and is the stock answer for any embar-
rassing emergency. One need only multiply
it a few times over to reveal the incidious po-
tential it has to plug up any attempt at
any group's reform.

NIGHT EDITOR: HARLAND BRITZ

The sorority system is not a private en-
tity operating within a vacuum. It, along
with its fraternal counterpart, is part of
the campus as a whole, this campus and
hundreds of others throughout the nation.
In some places, the two are strong enough
to regulate the social and academic careers
of its members and many outsiders. .
Everyone, then, directly or indirectly, is
affected by their system. Since the ma-
jority is affected against its will; it would
be stupidly naive to agree that its most
basic defect is not of deep concern to all.
Another point that the sororities con-
veniently ignore is the fact that they oper-
ate in this community under the jurisdic-
tion of the University. As a segment of state
entity they have no right to foster ills
which are directly contrary to the ideals of
our society.
Panhel argues that they are the ones
best able to cure their own disease; theoreti-
cally that may be true. Yet so far, we have
no indication that it is.
As the situation stands now, Panhel
admits that its board does not even know
which houses are the offenders. They
defend their ignorance by explaining the
intricate duties of a sorority chapter in
relation to its national office. Currently,
some houses are engaged in writing to
their main offices, to "find out if they
may reveal their constitutional secrets."
This circuitous path to reform will most
likely lead nowhere. The National Panhel-
lenic has come out against removing bias
clauses. It is improbable that national of-
fices would cooperate in any anti-bias move.
If and when the sororities are told to be
silent, what will the local Panhel do?
This question cannot be answered, for
the Panhel has not considered any fur-
ther action. Backed as it is by the board's
ignorance, this nebulous excuse for a plan
leaves us to believe that it is merely help-
ing to prolong a situation which should
have been attacked long ago.
If Panhel is really sincere, it will not
glibly stamp out outside agitation as off-
color or let the question drag with feeble
protestations about a national gag. No
amount of procrastination or pseudo-coop-
erative effort is going to vindicate their cur-
rent "our problem" stand. From here on in,
they are not on their own.

SL Electian
IT IS WITH some degree of surprise that
one watches the dust settle on an all-
campus election and finds, instead of the
usual wreckage, a neat, well-ordered scene.
The stigma attached to Student Legisla-
ture by the miserably inept handling of
last spring's voting has been removed-
SL has met the challenge to administer an
election properly.
Instead of the expected smoke and con-
fusion, there seemed to be an air of efficien-
cy about the ballot-counting. The remark-
able speed with which the process was com-
pleted reflected credit on all who partici-
pated.
For the first time, campus honoraries were
conscripted to aid the Legislature in the
ballot-counting. This seemed to be a worth-
while innovation, and should be made a
permanent tradition.
Fraternity block voting, which two years
ago was a serious issue, seems to be dying
out. In only one instance was there any
real suspicion of organized vote-swapping,
and in this case investigation indicates
that there was no formal collusion.
Also the phoney issue of independent ver-
sus affiliate remained happily out of the
picture. For the first time on record, inde-
pendents elected more legislators than the
affiliates.
Invalidated ballots were not excessive-
poll workers were well instructed and ably
performed their vital job.
Men's Judiciary wisely decided not to
throw out all the ballots cast for the ca-
nine candidate, Major, but followed the
eminently sensible course of redistributing
them to the second place choices.
SL leaders viewed the Major affair with
altogether too grim an attitude. Perhaps,
by implication, the organization is made to
appear a bit absurd by the dog's 200 votes.
On the other hand, SL voluntarily makes
itself ridiculous by sponsoring such assinine
ventures as Tug Week.
This minor consideration aside, SL de-
serves a large measure of credit for com-
petent handling of the election. In par-
ticular, Phyllis Kaufman did an excellent
job of supervising and coordinating the
whole complex operation.
With three major triumphs behind it--,
the library, Thanksgiving holiday and at
last a capable administration of elections,
SL can face the campus and the University
with unprecedented prestige.

Womten's Panel
WOMEN STUDENTS may soon get an
opportunity to wield complete authority
in their disciplinary problems.
A plan to establish a Women's Panel,
composed of the Dean of Women, the stu-
dent chairman and a junior member of
Women's Judiciary, has recently been ap-
proved by the Dean of Women. Cases in-
volving simple breakage of house and Uni-
versity rules will not be brought before this
panel; these will continue to go before
Women's Judiciary and Joint Judiciary.
Instead, the Panel will supplant the
Dean of Women in taking action on cases
involving conduct "unbecoming a scholar
or a lady."
These "morals cases" would be aired be-
fore a small, selective body, giving the stu-
dent in question a chance to safeguard her
reputation and providing a greater measure
of secrecy for the University.
Obviously, the proposed plan is a vast
stride forward in building up greater stu-
dent democracy. It will give women stu-
dents assurance that their problems will
go before other women students, who not
only understand the rules but also ex-
perience the "double standard" of the

society in which we live.
It is much more satisfactory than dele-
gating responsibility for these cases to Joint
Judiciary, which is a larger group (thus

R, Morey III, Jacob Max Pell and David L. Royal ended Tuesday, as
the three youths heard the jury pronounce them guilty-- Morey and
Pell on a first degree murder charge, Royal on a second. The trio then
headed back to jail, where Morey and Pell are destined to spend the
rest of their lives, Rpyal at least ten years.

SL BOUQUETS-It was a big week for Student Legislature, with
two major achievements-one negative and one positive. In a nega-
tive way, the Legislature avoided past pitfalls in handling elections, got
through without any major foulups, which by now has come to be re-
garded as a triumph. In a positive way, the extended fight for an ex-
tended Thanksgiving holiday finally met with success. A Dean's Con-
ference Wednesday voted provisional approval for the idea, with the
details to be worked out by the Calendar Committee. But at last the
long Thanksgiving weekend, which most students blithely took anyway,j
became an official part of the University calendar.
MAJOR-FOR-SL-Is the campus going to the dogs? 'Twould ap-
pear so, as Major, notorious campus pooch, at the last minute became
the third candidate from Delta Tau Delta, bounding after Wally Pear-
son and Ken Cutler into the race. An estimated 200 students cast first
place votes for four-footed representation. Astute election analysts
figure that the affable mutt would have been elected by the tenth bal-
lot had his votes been counted.

HATCHER INAUGURAL.-Plans were being completed this week
for a gala inaugural for President Harlan H. Hatcher on Nov. 27. Stu-
dents will celebrate with an afternoon off-the Dean's Conference vot-
ed to dismiss all classes at noon.
FOOTBALL-Somebody will have to pay.

DRAMA

.

MOST OF US have heard the remark that
even if Shakespeare- had not lived,
Elizabethan and early Jacobean drama would
still have been supreme in the English lang-
uage and perhaps the greatest in the entire
history of the theater. Despite this fact, the
production of a non-Shakespearean play of
that era is a rarity-and consequently an
experience not to be missed.
Some critics have said that if Shakes-
peare had written the Knight of the Burn.
ing Pestle, the current offering at the
Arts Theater Club, it would still be a
popular success and rightfully compared
to Cervante's Don Quixote to which it
probably owes a small debt. However the
play was written by Beaumont and Fletch-

HISTORY RECORDS Field Marshall Erwin
Rommel as a brilliant military tactician
and as one of the generals involved in the
abortive plot on Hitler's life. With an em-
phasis on these aspects of his life, Nunnally
Johnson has brought to the screen an en-
grossing film. Once the barrier caused by
a predominantly English cast playing Ger-
mans is crossed, the audience is treated to
a rather interesting tale.
Employing a clever flashback treatment,-
the film treats Rommel as a sincere army
man, dedicated to his men and to the
succesful operation of the German mili-
tary machine. His sympathies with the
Nazi party, whether or not they existed,
are avoided. His feud with Hitler is caused
by the Fuhrer's meddling with military
matters, not by any ideological conflict.
Ideology has been completely omitted from
the film.
Many viewers and reviewers have been
wondering why Hollywood should decide to
epitomize our former enemy. Was Rommel
more than a good general and a good family
man? Was he infected with the scourge 0
Nazi thought? The film answers the first
question positively. It avoids the second.
As a result the film merely reaches the
level of semi-historical narrative in which
value judgments are avoided.
This movie has caused considerable con-
troversy all over the world. One American
organization has requested that it be banned
in Western Germany because of its potential
power to stir up latent nationalism. If the
cold facts of a man's exploits can do this,
the objectors have a point. But it is doubt-
ful whether this documentary approach has
that much potential.
If the film were pro-Nazi and pro-national-
icai +h hirnc-~Anc ~ r t

er and as a consequence seldom sees the
boards even in amateur productions.
The highly professional presentation now
running in Ann Arbor is convincing proof
that we are missing a lot by thus ignoring
the playwrights whose competition was an
important factor in Shakespeare's art.
The Knight was the first mock-heroic
drama to appear on the English stage, and it
has remained the best. It was written by
master craftsmen of the stage, men who had
no idea they were writing literature, but who
knew their works had to please well-trained,
highly critical audiences as plays. Anyone
who has seen this play will attest to the
fact that they knew their business.
No one needs any special preparation .to
enjoy The Knight; its humor is broad and
irresistible. A small knowledge of the stuff
that fills the footnotes of any Elizabethan
play may increase the enjoyment, but it
ivnot at all necessary. The puns will cause
some trouble. Modern audiences don't
share the Elizabethans' delight with the
ribald pun in part because we don't relish
playing with language the way they did,
but also because some of the terminology
of the bawdy byplay has become archaic
and the puritanism of the movies has
made us unprepared for the indecorous
but very funny audacity of the earthy
Elizabethans. An attentive ear and a
willingness to expect the boldest will con-
vince the playgoer that these dramatists
knew how to tell that kind of a joke too.
Perhaps the most helpful contribution to
those who plan to see this play is a mention
of the Elizabethan ceremony called Mid-
summer Day. One day each summer every
able-bodied Londoner went to the parade
ground at Mide End for his year's supply
of military training. It was a great occa-
sion. After a few hours of chaotic, martial
posturing and many grandiloquent speeches,
all joined in drink and merriment to 'cele-
brate their survival from the very real, but
unmilitary, dangers of the day's hectic simu-
lated combat. Some even drank enough to
have A Midsummer Night's Dream.
One hilarious scene of The Knight is a
burlesque of that ritual. Our generation
knows enough of military drill to appreciate
what goes on, but a knowledge of Midsummer
Day will put another crack in your ribs over
the splendid confusion of the enormously
funny routine worked out for Beaumont and
Fletcher's farcical dialogue.
The other satire that lies in the play is
very easy to take. While the authors'
travesty was directed at the popular ro-
mances of the day and the melodramatic
theatrics of the famous Ed' rd Alleyn,
a modern audience needs vei.- little im-
agination to transfer the ridicule to the
private detective movie and to Charles
Laughton's juicier roles, or even Alan
Ladd's poker face histrionics. The modern
may or may not find himself amused by
the mocking of the literal minded play-
goer implicit in the antics of the citizen

KOREAN SEE-SAW--The week at Panmunjon could have been a
decisive one. Early in the week, Allied and Communist truce negotia-
tors were almost in complete agreement on the location of a post-police
action buffer zone. But Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway sent orders that all
other cease-fire issues had to be settled before the truce line could
be drawn.
Almost immediately, new barriers fell across the path toward
peace. The buffer zone issue became snarled again and a break-
down in the world-shaking hag- C-- -
gling was seen imminent. The Reds'
virtually dared the Allies to quit
the parleys and try to alter thet
front lines by force. They also de-M I int I
manded immediate settlement of
the stop-shooting line before con-
sideration of other points on the
agenda.
At week's end there was a note
of optimism in the proceedings'
despite the apparent deadlock. A'
favorable Red reply was thought
likely to a new UN proposal thatr
a settlement be reached before
Christmas.

decreasing the secrecy factor) and which
is comprised of both men and women stu-
dents.
In effect, the new group will be a small
portion of Women's Judiciary plus the Dean
of Women, who is a minority member. By
drawing its student membership from Ju-
diciary, the Panel will be comprised of the
most responsible women students on campus.
Ballots for the approval or rejection of
Women's Panel have already been dis-
tributed to the presidents of womens' resi-
dences. Next week, the students them-
selves will be given a chance to pass judg-
ment on the plan.
By looking beneath the surface benefits
involved and by realizing the underlying
value of better self-government, even the
most skeptical student must approve of
Women's Panel. It has passed the hurdle of
the Dean of Women's office; it now awaits
only the approval of the women students.

The fat one with the wings is the
young one's Fairy Godfather. I've
never quite understood about him-

Sarge Appleton, a retired pointer
