Campus Apathy

CAMPUS POLITICAL activity and interest
which hit a fast pace after the last war
has now almost died out. It has been a sad
commentary on student interest and in-
tellectualism that only a few political and
governmental organizations are carrying on
an active program this fall, and that even
these groups have had disappointing attend-
ance at their meetings.
SL had its usual small number of can-
didates and voters this fall in campus
elections, yet SL represents one of the
only effective mediums for student action
on campus affairs. A survey of the politi-
cal clubs gives an even more disheartening
picture.
The Committee to End Discrimination,
evidently outliving its usefulness when the
admission form discrimination was largely
removed, could not get enough interest from
student groups or students in general to
continue for another term.
UNESCO Council, Young Republicans,
Young Democrats, and Young Progressives
Clubs have not had the attendance that
their activities merit. Certainly one need not
agree with what each of these clubs is doing,
but everyone should be able to find one or-
ganization in which he has an interest and
make an attempt to attend its meetings.
Editorials printed in The Michigan Daily
are written by members of The Daily staff
and represent the views of the writer only.
This must be noted in all reprints.
NIGHT EDITOR: HARLAND BRITZ

These clubs have much to offer both in
general information and political experi-
ence. The Young Republicans have heard
some excellent speakers in the past weeks.
State party leader "Pat" Cleary, state
senator Creighton Coleman, and Young
Republican leader John Tope have spoken
in recent open meetings on the political
picture, legislation, and campaigning --
topics which should interest people outside
of the Young Republicans as well as club
members. Yet at none of their meetings
have the Young Republicans had more
than 50 people.
This discouraging state of political affairs
need not continue any longer. In the past
weeks new clubs have appeared on campus,
and if successful in gaining recognition, can
well turn the present trend of apathy. With
the Society for Pe'aceful Alternatives and
the Civil Liberties Committee past the or-
ganizational stage and "Students for Eisen-
hower" almost ready to be formed, there can
be no excuse given that students lack op-
portunity for political expression.
Further diversity is added to the poli-
tical scene by the Lawyers for Taft Club,
and there should be no reason why in-
terested campus Democrats couldn't whip
up a "Truman for Re-election" group.
The opportunity for political expression is
not denied to us; we simply do not make use
of it. An alert campus engaged in intelligent
political activity could be ample proof that
"political defeatism" and "intellectual stag-
nation" are not in control of the campus.

DORIS FLEESON:
Senate
.Replacemnen t
W ASHINGTON - Sen. Kenneth Wherry,
Republican floor leader,, was a con-
troversialist without rancor in a Congress
increasingly prey to chilly bitterness and
wounding personalities.
The Senator resented the phrase, "the
Merry Mortician," attached to him here
but it was apt. He was gay and his laugh-
ter usually healed the impulsive blows he
struck on the Senate floor, winning him
friends denied to some who patronized
him its their intellectual inferior.
Much politics is involved in the choice of
his successor as Senate floor leader and
member of the important Appropriations
and Rules committees. Among the presiden-
tial candidates, Senator Taft and General
Eisenhower have vested interests; among
the Senators, McCarthy, Lodge and Salton-
stall.
If a frequent precedent of promoting the
Whip to floor leader is followed, Senator
Saltonstall will inherit the leadership. He is
experienced, fair, a gentleman and a schol-
ar. He is also a supporter of General Eisen-
hower for president.
Senator Taft has the power, if he has the
will, to stop Senator Saltonstall. He has not
indicated publicly what steps he might take
to bar a potential Eisenhower influence
from the inner counsels of Senate Repub-
licans.
It is being said that the wires are already
hot to Arizona where Sen. Styles Bridges of
New Hampshire is recuperating from a ser-
ious illness. As senior to all his G.O.P. col-
leagues, Senator Bridges-if he wants it-
could press a claim upon the floor leader-
ship which could hardly be disputed.
His advantage to Senator Taft is that
he has not expressed a preference among
presidential candidates. Though Bridges
has been more consistently international-
ist than Taft, he is probably more con-
servative in domestic affairs. The Taft
camp believes he leans to their side.
Senator Bridges has not been too well; he
is deeply absorbed in the work of the Appro-
priations and Armed Services committees on
which he is the ranking Republican and a
devoted, diligent worker. The leadership ties
down its taker to long and often arid
stretches on the floor.
Senator McCarthy is in line to regain
the place he held so briefly on appro-
priations and to ply toe whip on the State
Department. But something has been added
to the picture-the Benton Resolution call.
ing for McCarthy's ouster which is before
the Rules Committee.
Succeeding Senator Wherry as ranking
Republican on rules is Senator Lodge.
Senator Lodge has striven valiantly to
duck the McCarthy issue. Wherry, with
an assist from Senator Jenner, did all the
talking on it; Lodge seldom caught the
name. But, as the ranker on Rules, he may
be forced to take a position on the contro-
versial McCarthy who has so many ad-
mirers in Massachusetts.
Thus the dilemmas run when a senior
Senator passes and leaves powerful places
vacant, especially in a presidential year.

BAGDAD - Here, where civilization was
born, it is quite easy to see how civili-
zation may die. For here it is possible to
watch painlessly, as through dark glasses,
all the forces at work which are causing the
Middle East to go the way of China.
First, of course, there is the progressive
decay of the British technique of exer-
cising power. In essence, this technique
has been to create a small ruling class of
rich, venal, or ambitious men, dependent
on British support, and then to exercise
power through these men. Iraq is inter-
esting, as some well preserved fossil might
be interesting, because this tried but no
longer true technique continues rather
shakily to function. But no one really be-
lieves that this system, which has collaps-
ed already in Iran and Egypt, will work for
very much longer.
The erosion of British power is accom-
panied by a universal and totally irrational
hatred of the British. This reporter was
conducted by one of the most intelligent
Arabs he has met, through the stinking
slums of Bagdad, where people live in mud
huts, in company with their livestock and
an occasional poisonous reptile, in the sha-
dow of the palace grounds. This man was
wholly convinced that the surrounding de-
gradation (which has existed from time im-
memorial) was exclusively the fault of the
British.,
IN. THIS atmosphere of unreason, Iraq,
like Iran, is quite likely to cut off its
own nose-its oil revenues-to spite the
British face. The same men who somewhat
unbrilliantly managed the fortunes of
Iran's Anglo-Iranian Oil Company have
been managing the almost equally vital
Iraq oil fields a largely untapped reserve,
which not unnaturally enraged the Iraq-
ueans, whose oil revenues have been a mere
trickle.
Having learned a belated lesson in
Iran, the British oil managers have now
offered a reasonably generous contract to
Iraq. Iraq Premier Nuri Said, an aging
monument to the British technique of
power, has accepted the new agreement.
It is expected to pass through Parliament,
to the accompaniment of Communist-or-
ganized street riots. But sooner or later,
in the universal opinion here, some am-
bitious politician will seize the torch from
Mossadegh's trembling hands, and the
days of the Iraq Petroleum Company will
be numbered.
As the Iranian oil crisis has its pale coun-
terpart here, so does the Egyptian crisis.
The British have, by treaty, the right to
station certain troops in Iraq. Actually, they
have only a corporal's guard, mostly Royal
Air Force men. Although less vital than the
Suez base, the British installations in Iraq
would be an important forward defense and
staging area in case of war. Without them
there could be no defense of Iraq. But the
anti-British regime which will sooner or
later be installed here will undoubtedly fol-
low Egypt's lead and abrogate the treaty
with Britain.
HERE, AS everywhere in the Middle East,
there is mass misery. And here there is
also the fear and hatred of Israel found in
every Arab state. Partly because the United
States is credited with responsibility for
creating Israel, partly because to seem to

the last twist of the knife. For so much could
be done, so easily, and even so cheaply.
Here, at least, the desert could indeed
be made to bloom like the rose. Here all
the Arab refugees from Palestine could
be absorbed. Here the standard of living
could be made to rise miraculously. With
expert help, this could almost all be done
with the $150,000,000 which will soon be
Iraq's annual share of its oil revenue.
Here, indeed, the need to promote and
control change, in such areas as these where
change is inevitable, could, theoretically, be
triumphantly met. And yet, with a corrupt
and irresponsible ruling class, the estab-
lished power system in decay, a violent
xenophobia, an obsession about Israel, and
the odd sort of death which seems to exist
everywhere in the Arab states, "What can
you do?"
The question is not easily answerable.
As a practical matter, it seems a reasonable
guess that Iran will go first, then the rest of
the Middle East, and then the rest of us, in-
cluding the unfortunate Russians. But at
least it is past time for the British and
Americans to consider a really serious at-
tempt to avert this fatal succession of
events. For if the Middle East goes the way
of China, this will surely mean a third world
war, which will destroy civilization as we
have known it.

Fathers X and Y...
To the Editor:
IN THE interest of truth in re-f
porting, may I ask you to publish
in your paper the following facts.
On Monday, November 26th,
1951, the press generally in De-1
troit featured with pictures and{
front page stories, an interview
with two former Ukrainian Catho-1
lic priests.
The two wore masks, in melo-
dramatic fashion which they said
was "to prevent reprisals" by the
Soviet Union, and they went un-
der the names of Father X and
Father Y.
The papers reported their har-
angues against the Soviet Union
in detail, but somehow these vali-
ant fighters for "freedom" both
deserted their country in the war
against facism, and had joined
with Hitler's Armies.
One of the wire services blandly
reported, that Father X said, "He
escaped to Czechoslovakia in
1944." This means he escaped with
the Nazis from the liberated Uk-
ranian Republic and fled in safety
to Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia.
As for Father Y, the same press
service story says "he returned to
the Ukraine in 1942 during the
Nazi occupation.
Small wonder that this prize
pair decided to "flee" the land
they betrayed when 'the peoples
army of the Ukraine drove the'
Nazis out.

League Activities ..
To the Editor:
ONE CANNOT be immune to the
fact that the Michigan Lea-
gue is sponsoring another amateur
Union Opera. Immunity is impos-
sible in an environment where two
women poke at each other and'
numerous passersby with fencing
foils while another loud-voiced fe-
male extolls the marvels of the
women, the dance, or both. Im-
munity is inconceivable when
crowded corridors are populated
with colorful - but empty - hat
boxes proclaiming "It's a Model
Show." Most of the "models" in,
question had not slight resemb-
lance to a picture of the Gordon
MNedussa in the fourth grade
mythology book.
The Daily itself helps promote
such fiascos by publishing on the
front page a picture of President
Hatcher receiving "on the eve of
his inauguration .., a preliminary
honor." The 'honor'? After a time-
wasting ceremony the President
was the recipient of a gold (paint-
ed) key (cardboard) to New York
City (counterfeited League ver-
sion).
Truly, if the old big business and
psychology addage "It Pays to Ad-
vertise" holds true, the new site
for the Undergrad Office will be
at the other end of the rainbow.
However, despite the grandiose
publicity campaign waged by the
"rah-rah" contingent, there's still
the unsuspecting freshman who
thinks Soph Cab is just another
taxi company. Where there's ig-
norance, there's hope ...

Egyptian Answer. ..
To the Editor:
JOHN DAVIES' letter to the
Editor Nov. 29th attracted my
attention by its title "Egyptian
Question." The way Mr. Davies
looks to the Egyptian problem is
typical of an English politician
who plays with phrases to ignore
facts and thinks of gaining things
by timely negotiations. What do
"real" and "good" reasons mean if
the goal is freedom and the reason
behind it is dissatisfaction with
colonialism and love of a free life
(I don't know whether Mr. Davies
calls this reason "good" or "real"
or I should add "basic". Egypt
cancells the 1936 treaty in the same

way the U.S. cancelled in 1884 the
1850 treaty with England regard-
ing the construction of a maritime
canal in Central America and in
the very same way the Irish Free
State cancelled in 1933 the Anglo-
Irish Treaty concluded on Dec.
5th, 1921. Egypt has been " very
sincere with England in her talks
in the past and kept patience for
over 50 years of negotiations seek-
ing independence from an aggres-
sor who invaded the Egyptian
land in 1882 for no reason except
colonization and impoverishing
people. Recently during the five
years of the second world war, who
gave food, clothing, shelter trans-
portation, recreation, etc., etc. to
the British troops and their allies
in Egypt? It was the Egyptians,
Mr. Davies, who gave willingly and
sincerely all their facilities and
sacrificed their lives for the wel-
fare of the British and the West-
ern allies. And from 1946 till 1951

negotiations and talks have taken
place and England hasn't done
anything sincere towards the ful-
fillment of Egypt's national de-
sires.
After all that, what do you ex-
pect Mr. Davies? Do you think
that Egypt would give up and take
colonialism willingly or unwilling-
ly. No Sir, Egypt is not going to
take anything but freedom and
will not do anything less than
what the Americans did to gain
their freedom from the British,
French and Spanish.
About the defense of the Suez
Canal ... I'd like to tell Mr. Da-
vies that Egypt has enough man-
power to have an army of one or
two million Egyptians to defend
the Suez Canal. They will defend
it because it is a part of their na-
tive land and they will defend it
because they like to have it free
and serve as "a lifeline for the
free nations" and not as "a life-
line for the passing British Em-
pire." . .
-Mohamed E. Hilmy
Dorm Radio ..
To the Editor;
AS A RESIDENT of the West
Quadrangle, I would like to
voice my "righteous indignation"
concerning Miss Gayle Greene's
editorial, "Intra - Quad Radio."
First of all, she writes of the East
Quad radio station's readmitting
the West Quad station to "their"
network. The fact is that when
the net was formed last year, it
was set up only on the condition
that the two stations would have
equal control and that the whole
thing would be a cooperative ven-
ture. The only reason the East
Quad was able. to cut off the West
is that the network's centra
switching devices happen to be lo-
cated at WEQN (the East Quad
station). Then Miss Greene says
that East Quad has "transmitters
in five women's dorms." WEQN
may have some great press agents,
but even so, they have transmit-
ters in only two women's dorms at
present. She further informs us
that "East Quad radio holds an
iron hand." This sounds like
"might makes ight." Does she
suppose the West and South Quad
Councils will ever accept the East
Quad's terms on this basis? Fin-
ally, she tells us that "as far al't
WEQN is concerned they (West,
and South Quads) are dispensi-
ble." Let me point out that should-4
the latter two dorms decide to
form their own competing station,
there is absolutely no good reason
why this competing station would
not be more efficient and put out
better quality programs t h a n
WEQN. In conclusion, I only hope
that this letter has succeeded in
presenting a few of the facts of
the issue to those such as Miss
Greene, who so far have heard
nothing but East Quad propa-
ganda.

-BOX 1952-
T HE VOTING PUBLIC doesn't realize it,
but, while the American people elect a
president; they do not nominate.
In Philadelphia in 1948, Democratic
delegates churned in the lobbies, chafed
at their helplessness, wanted to nominate
anyone except Truman, ended up voting
for Truman. They were tied by jobs, ma-
chine leaders, and the party whip.
This has been true of other Democratic
conventions for 12 years, plus some Repub-
lican. Delegates get pledged months in ad-
vance. They pick what they think is the
band-wagon, and jump on it. It also takes
money to corral delegates. In fact, getting
nominated is now big business-and the
voters don't have much to say about it.
In an effort to bring nominations back
to the people, however, the Washington
Merry-Go-Round will conduct a presiden-
tial public-opinion poll-beginning with
the Republicans. Later, there will be a
Democratic poll. Here is how you can par-
ticipate:
1. Send a penny post card to the candidate
you favor, care Box 1952, Washington 13,
D.C. (This may be the last time you can
send a post card for one cent.)
2. If, for instance, you favor Eisenhower,
address the card to "Gen. Eisenhower, Box
1952, Washington 13, D.C.," and on the re-
verse side write: "I'm for you in '52." Or, if
you're for Senator Taft, Gov. Warren of
California, or any other GOP candidate,
address the post card to him, care box 1952,
Washington 13.
3. Give your name and address. Your
name will not be published, but it's im-
portant to give it. Ringers and anonymous

dential delegates when they meet in Chi-
cago.
-CAPITAL NEWS CAPSULES-
IRON CURTAIN PROPAGANDA-Con-
gressman Kersten of Wisconsin played right
into Communist hands-by introducing a
public amendment to spend $100,000,000 to
finance subversive activities behind the Iron
Curtain. The Communists are now throwing
this in our faces all over Europe. It also
gives them an excuse to finance subversive
activities in the U.S.A......During World
War II, President Roosevelt spent $600,000-
000 financing subversion in Germany and
Japan. But the funds were kept secret .. .
However, Kersten was so anxious to get cre-
dit for financing anti-Communists behind
the Iron Curtain, that he jeopardized the
whole program by making it public and at-
taching his name to it.
KING OF EGYPT BALKS-U.S. Am-
bassador Caffery reports from Egypt that
the feud between King Farouk and Prime
Minister Nahas Pasha has reached the boil-
ing point. Kink Farouk flatly refused to read
the violently anti-British speech which Na-
has Pasha had prepared for him for the
annual throne-day celebration. The Prime
Minister in turn bluntly refused to rewrite
the speech. Finally the King delivered the
speech but toned it down with improvised
changes as he went along. As a result, the
two Egyptian leaders are split wider apart
than ever.
FRENCH FICTION-It wasn't in the news
cables, but conference-weary Dean Acheson
was called on the carpet by French Foreign
Minister Schuman in Paris last week and
bawled out because Americans have been en-
