Ssix THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1951 U I. English Lecture Centers On Poetry of T. S. Eliot Greek Week-'s Social Whirl Begins Todayl . . * . * . . .* "The techniqUe of interior land- cape achieves moments of arrest- ed awareness in poetry," Professor Marshall McLuhan of the Univer- ity of Toronto, said in his lec- ure before a capacity audience Monday. Speaking on "Eliot's Techni- ques of Interior Landscape," the noted scholar - critic explained andscape in terms of the meta- phoric symbolism in poetry. The mages must be sufficiently com- plex to evoke in the realer's mind a variety of pictures reacting si- Individualists arganize Right Wing Society A group of college men and wo- nen have. just formed a new 'right wing" organization in Washington, D.C. The group calls itself The Inter- ollegiate Society of Individualists nd lists among fts objectives "the >romotion among college students, nd the 'public generally, of an inderstanding and appreciation of ;he basic principles of the Consti- ution, rlaissezpfaire' economics, and the philosophy of individual- multaneously he declared. in time and space, * * * "POETRY OF the past is a mode of expression in a simple scenic narrative," the tall profes- sor said, citing the example of "a violet by a mossy stone," to illus- trate the point of simple imagery.j As a modern poet, McLuhan noted, Eliot achieves the im- pression of many complex and arresting pictures through such imagery as "the evening spread out against the sky, like a pa- tient etherized upon a table." The images of the evening and the patient both enter the read- er's mind together, to create an effect which would be an interior landscape. TO CONTRAST the use of in- ternal reflection Eliot achieves through his method of complex metaphor, the literary analyst dis- cussed Alexander Pope's use of wit in poetry. "Wit is the combined force of external situations acting upon each other," he said. "Wit is de- veloped in the surprise use of un- usual situations, like, unusual metaphors," he added. "Words are tools to explore lost territories in the mind," he said, evaluating the power of both po- etry of landscape and wit.

The clandestine group are not ending subversive code, as some vorried spectators may think, but nstead are merely well-meaning occer enthusiasts from Colombia. ".#s THE AFICIONADOS avidly lis- ten to a broadcast of results from all the soccer games played in their home country during the week. They say they will continue to be faithfully by their radio ev- ery Sunday, until the snows come and the soccer season is over. , Using a transoceanic radio with a super-sensitive antenna has made their out-door eve- ning vigil a necessity. The re- ception is clearer and there is less interference from the "deaf- ening" noise in the quad. Also the lawn gives them a privacy they find impossible inside. Not content with just hearing about the games, Samir Daccach and his cohorts, Erick Montoya, The Official M Humberto Rada, Jose Romero, Hernando Rada, Hugo Ramerez, and Luis Vargas, are all members of the Latin-American Students Soccer team of the English Lan- guage Institute, where they are studying. * * * THEY HAVE played the Latin- American team at Ypsilanti State Normal and the Turkish club at the University, "But we are only amateurs," Daccach is always sure to explain with a disarming smile. United in their addiction to soccer the men disagree fiercely in' their loyalties to teams now competing in the Colombian Soccer Championship. Jose Romero claims allegiance to the "Boca Juniors," a team us- ing the Michigan colors. Most of the others, however, auspiciously favor the "Millonarios" team. But despite the argument they all agree soccer is still the most popular game in the world. But then, they democratically add, this statement is a quoted statistic from an impartial American spor'ts magazine. i i l { 2 By JERRY HELMAN The revival by Germany's Bonn government of "Deutschland Ue- ber Alles" as their new national anthem was viewed by several University professors as an at- tempt to unify the people. West German President, Theo- dore Heuss announced the song's adoption as WestnGermany pre- pared to regain much of her na- tional sovereignty by signing a Twenty-Eight Get Awards In Chemistry The first Department of Chem- istry Honors Convocation, which is to become an annual event, was held at 4:15 p.m. yesterday with 28 students receiving awards, scholarships and fellowships.

Blood Quota Met By Local Donors Donors in Washtenaw county are meeting the monthly blood quota set by the American Red Cross according to Mrs. Ethel At- kinson, executive secretary of the county chapter. Washtenaw's quota is set at 5,- 000 pints of blood annually, with half of the amount labeled for military and half for local needs. peace contract with the Western Allies. THERE WAS considerable hesi- tancy on the part of Heuss to do this. Prof. James K. Pollock of the political s c i e n c e department pointed out that it was probably due to the fact that the song had become associated in European minds with Germany's aggressive tendencies. Heuss previously tried to find another song which would dis- place the popular "Deutschland," but was unable to. The Adenauer cabinet had suggested several times that it be adopted as the new national anthem, with Heuss finally bowing to their will "with misgivings." Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the history department saw the adoption as a "symptom of emergent nationalism." But he agreed that it was an attempt to rally the German people around a common ;symbol. The song's history was traced by Karl H. Reichenbach of the history department. It's melody was taken from Haydn's second string quartet and the words were written in 1840 by Hoffman von Fellersleben, a German patriot. According to Reichenbach, it became popular -during the crisis of 1840 when France was threat- ening to invade Germany, and served, as a rallying point. In reality, the song has been more associated with Germany's democratic movements than with authoritarianism. It was the na- tional anthem of the Weimar Re- public and during Hitler's regime was sung only in conjunction with the "Horst Wessel." "Although it does declare 'Ger- many above all,' it also limits Ger- many's territory within its accept- ed boundaries," Reichenbach de- clared, "and is not associated by Germans with imperialism." U.S. High Commissioner John J. McCloy commented "this is an internal German matter, but I don't like this song." "Most important, however," he added, "is not what the people sing but how they act." Doktor Will Make European Tour A former University music lec- turer, Paul Doktor, will make his second European concert tour be- ginning in June. Doktor, a lecturer in viola and chamber music at the University from 1948 to 1951, will make ap- pearances in Switzerland, Germ- any, France, Belgium, England and his native Austria. By MIKE WOLFF Greek Week begins today for the more than 2,000 fraternity men on campus who will celebrate the occasion with a hectic round of social events climaxing with the annual IFC Ball Saturday night. High spots of the program in- clude the House Presidents Din- ner tonight and the annual IFC Sing which will take place at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Hill Auditorium. THERE IS a more serious side to fraternity life,however, which began for campus affiliates in 1846 when the faculty tried to eli- minate the first three fraterni- ties from University life by invok- ing a rule that stated that "no student shall become a member of any society . .. which has not first submitted its constitution to the faculty and received their ap- probation."_ Public opinion won over, how- ever, and with the ratification of a new constitution in 1850 fraternities grew until World War I when many houses en- listed en masse in the Army. Several houses were again forc- ed to close during the last war but the great influx of veterans that followed caused the Inter-Frater- nity Council to set up a special committee to investigate Univer- sity regulations governing eligibil- ity of fraternity men for dormi- tory space. - SINCE 1946 fraternities at Mi- chigan have undergone many changes-the major one being the revamping of rushing and pledg-. ing procedures. "Help Week" has superseded the traditional "Hell Week" and most fraternities cooperate with the IFC in doing constructive work for the University and the community. A councilor system was also set up last fall to advise rushees on the intricacies of rushing and to help solve their problems..Such a system might have proved useful in 1948 when three coeds pledged three traternities after an hour- long tour during which they smoked black cigars behind a not- too-successful disguise of men's clothing. * * * THE CURRENT major issue in- volving fraternities has been the pressure for the removal of bias clauses in fraternity constitutions. At present the Acacia plan, which calls for the removal of bias clauses through the efforts of the individual houses with the help of the IFC Counseling and Infor- mation service, is in effect. It was adopted after seven months of intermittent heated discussion that followed the veto by retired President Alexander G. Ruthven of the SL-SAC time limit ruling calling for the removal of all fraternity bias clauses by 1956. Klein Directs Choirs Tonight The University Arts Chorale and University Women's Choir, con- ducted by Prof. Maynard Klein of the music school 'wil present a public concert at 8:30 p.m. to- night in Hill Auditorium.

City Barbers Plan To Raise Haircut Prices Men's haircut prices are due for a 25 Cent price rise in Ann Arbor in the near future according to Ernest Dascola, president of the Ann Arbor Barbers Association. The increase would be tailored after a Detroit price raise where haircut fees were upped 25 cents on week-days and 50 cents on Saturdays and days preceding holidays. Weekend and pre-holi- day cuts might not have as big a jump as in Detroit, Dascola in- dicated. The association is nbw conduct- ing a survey to get member's atti- tudes on the price raise. The raise will probably go into effect Mon- day if a favorable response is shown. 1 Lantern Nite Recordings $2.00 10-inch 78 RPM on both sides HL.FI (?ec 'pi~m STUDIO 521 East Liberty Phone 2-3053 Yes indeed, Madam.
