THIS IS A MOVIE that could never have been made in the United States, not so .. etleri o tle 6litor . . By CHUCK ELLIOTT IT IS TRADITIONAL that the outgoing managing editor of The Daily should ap- ply hiw self to his typewriter on this final afternoon and write a piece containing as much accumulated sentiment and nostalgia as the paper yill bear. In the past, several editors have exercised more than the usual interest in this project: one wrote it in couplets, while another ended his: "And thanks to the University of Michigan for be- ing the University of Michigan." I really don't intend to do anything like that. Looking backwards is always a rather self-defeating process anyway, and tends by its nature to become maudlin. But some recognition should be made of those individuals who helped make this year a satisfying and enjoyable one. (It was that, despite the complaints that regularly flowed through these columns.) Congratulations, then, rs-Bob Keith, Len to my fellow edi- Greenbaum, Vern Emerson, Ron Watts, Rich Thomas, and Bob Vaughn-for their surpassing patience and industry. In varying degrees, the same goes for the rest of the edit staff, some of whom, surprisingly enough, maintained themselves sufficiently well to be appoint- ed as next year's editors. Through, some sort of statistical ledger- demain, the business staff led by Bob Miller succeeded in bringing us out on top, for which they deserve thanks and respect. Elsewhere in the Student Publications Building, certain individuals have made themselves unforgettable in various ways. The shop crew, despite a continued on- slaught of ineptitude, caused The Daily to be printed each day. Peg Nint, Don Mal-, colm and other Gargoyle executives de- veloped the art of the wild guffaw to a fine point, while Ensian Editor Harry 14i1- ler recognized the existence of the Un- known Little Man as he put out a book about Well-Known BMOCs. Outside, on the campus proper, people like Bill Hampton, Bill Wiegand, Murph Swander, Irv Stenn, and a host of other students and teachers provided good com- pany and a modicum of inspiration at the proper time. There seems to be no sense in dwelling upon unpleasant occurances; none are es- pecially black, from this distance. As for arguments, I am still fairly confident that we were right, and can only offer sincerity as a condolence to offended persons. Finally, I want to thank Prof. William Schlatter, retiring secretary of the Board in Control of Student Publications, for his trust and aid during his three years of service. Taken as a lump, this has been a reward- ing year. Though uncertainty may reign on most fronts-it generally does-I have no doubt but what future editors, given equal opportunity, will find comparable satisfac- tion and at the same time put out a decent newspaper., 7 i dignity. I Within this framework is unfolded the story of Gigi. She is a young girl who is being carefully trained and molded by her aunt and grandmother to take her place in the ranks of the finest courtesawi3. Gigi treats it all as an exciting game, appar- ently not understanding the goal the two old women have set for her. These two veterans are cautious to preserve her inno- I much because of what is done, but because of the basic situation in the story. It is the story of the demimonede, that self-respect- able half-disgraceful world inhabited by women who have intentionally entered "the world's oldest profession." These women, however, are not common prostitutes; they take a great pride in their social grace and Being is a thing not understood by many en. When they think they finally compre- end the mysteries of the universe, the so- tion which appeared so obvious vanishes fore their eyes. The one, we must realize, s inherently bound up with the many; iat a disparity exists at all is a failing of e man, not the matter. Within the small aie of a soul is bound the key to life; if it consumed before puberty, mankind will nd another way, a way obvious 4o every ncere student of man and his milieu. -Perry Logan from "Metaphysical Essays" Editorials printed In The Michigan Daily e written by members of The Daily staff nd represent the views of the writer only. cence and youthful appearance, much more than we might anticipate consider- ing the career she is about to enter. The gentleman they have picked out for her target is a young wastrel who specializes in entertaining young ladies; he is also a very good friend of Gigi's grandmother, and spends a lot of time at 'their house. When he finally makes his proposition to the girl her refusal precipitates a small crisis; it is resolved in a completely unexpected way. The picture is thoroughly delightful, both, as a comedy and character study. We can admire Gigi for her sweetness and naivete; but the grandmother, with her almost Vic- torian moral sense, and the worldly-wise aunt are wonderful. They are fully aware of their position, and yet take delight in their tongue-in-cheek respectability. -Tom Arp I s -must be noted in all reprints.

New class rankings of all full-time male students will be made for the Selective Service System at the end of June. Students whose defermen-ts end be- fore the beginning of the fall semester or whose boards require a revised SSS Form 109 before that time should ob- tain the necessary forms and instruc- tions within the next three weeks. These forms should be completed in accord- ance with the instructions and return- ed to the proper office. Students in the following units may obtain these forms from Window No. 1 of the Registrar's Office: Architecture and Design; Education; Literature, Sci- ence. and the Arts; Music; Natural Re- sources; Pharmacy; and Public Health. Students in other units should ob- tain the blanks from the Recorder's Office of their individual school or col- lege, with the exception of those in Medical School or the School ofsDen- tistry. The necessary forms will be pro- cessed automatically by these schools. Each student should write to his local Board requesting a continuation of his deferment throughout the summer and for the fall semester. The Registrar's Office sends state- ner for the Indiana, Michigan, Wiscon- sin area, open to June or August grad- uates. Details are available at the Bu- reau of Appointments. Montsanto Chemical Company, Mound Laboratory, Miamisburg, Ohio, has two openings at the Miamisburg plant. One is for a Techincal Librarian (woman) and the other for a Technical Editor (man). Scientific degree or background is necessary for both positions. The Maumee Malleable Casting Com- pany, Toledo, Ohio, has openings for metallurgical engineers for both sum- mer work and permanent positions. Consumers' Research, Inc., of Wash- ington, New Jersey, is interested in con- sidering for employment a young grad- uate trained in physics, or in engineer- ing, especially electrical or mechanical. They also might be interested in a per- son who has not graduated but has two or three years of undergraduate training in physics or engineering. The Detroit Police Department Aca- demy announces the examination for policewoman to be given June 28, 1952. Applicants must be between 23 and 30 years of age, have a college degree, with courses in social science or ex- perience in social work or in a field in which public contacts was part of the work, must be at least 5 feet one inch high and must weigh at least 101 pounds. Further/ details may be got- ten from the Bureau of Appointments. The American Brass Company, Water- bury, Connecticut, (division of Ana- conda Copper Mining Company) has some openings in its Sales Training Program. Persons interested in applying for this program should be interested in industrial selling, with good mechan- ical comprehension and ability to han- dle simple mathematical concepts. Equitable Life Insurance Company of Iowa has openings in a number of cities in Michigan for men interested in a career of life insurance underwriting. There is no specific training for this work required to begin work with this company. California State Personnel Board has announced an examination for Junior Sanitary Engineer to be given July 19, final date for filing applications, June 21. Applicants must be U.

REGISTRATION: Students who have been using the facilities of the Bureau of Appointments (Office interviews and information about current openings) are reminded that when the DOB stops this week they will be out of contact with the office. Although the Bureau receives job requests all during the year, it can be of service to only those alumni who are registered. If you are not yet placed, or if you are going into service and expect to want a position when you are released, you are urged to register with the Bureau prior to leaving school.hThis will result in a permanent set of credentials, which will always be available for placement pur- poses whenever you are available. In addition, many employers prefer to see credentials before talking to candi- dates. You may register at the Bureau any week day. Young Women's Christian Association, of Cleveland, Ohio, will have vacancies in its Health and Physical Education Department next September. Require- ments include ability to teach indivi- dual sports such as golf, tennis, bad- minton, and also requires a Water Safe- ty Instructors Rating. Academic Notices To thine own self... To the Editor: HER IS an alarming tendency among some teachers at this 'University to deplore all student opinion which does not reflect their own, and it appears to be in some such spirit that Prof. Joshua McClennen has urged Daily writ- ersr to -ask themselves questions which - because they are the "right" questions-will result in a policy of patience toward an ad- ministration so willing, as he says, to go "more than halfway" to meet the students. He would, I am sure, instance as proof of such willingness the Lecture Commit- tee's flat refusal to allow students speakers of their own choosing and President Hatcher's outright veto of a mild, much-compromised student proposal to give local fra- ternities at least the surface ap- pearance of democratic institu- tions. In my own opinion, The Daily has, in the past few weeks, been more interesting and more valu- able than at any time since the war; and this is primarily because of its editorials taking vigorous, intelligent exception to the in- creasing restrictions upon student freedom at' the University. The front-page editorials by the senior editors and Leonard Greenbaum's series on the Lecture Committee have been especially excellent. I hope that The Daily will con- tinue next year the fight which it has begun and that the editors will never again reveal much sym- pathy for the undemocratic rul- ings of their elders, however re- luctant those rulings may seem to be. I hope, furthermore, that when the editors undertake (as I think they certainly should) the self-examination suggested by Prof. McClennen they will never discover, somewhere within, the image either of Prof. McClehnen or President Hatcher but an inde- pendent spirit which is youthful, imaginative, courageous and im- patient. -Homer Swander * * * Saddening Observance To the Editor: IT HAS been brought to my at- tention that at the recent Ukranian Independence Celebra- tion on campus, the name of Si- mon Petlura was honored as a hero of that great people. I am saddened that this observ- ance should be linked with the name of that individual, for it is not fitting that Petlura be asso- ciated with the genuine heroes of the struggle for national indepen- dence such as Washington, Boli- var, Mazzini, Garabaldi, Kossuth and others, who contributed mightily to the finest aspirations of humanity. A decent respect for the facts of history compels an examination of the deeds of this man. It was pointed out by an observer in the New York Times of October 27, 1927 that ". .. the American pub- lic must bear in mind that in hundreds of cities and villages where the Jews dwelt massacre upon massacre was carried out with impunity by organized bands of Petlura's army. In one instance, in the town of Proskulross, there were 6,500 men, women, and chil- dren killed in one day." Altogether, it was estimated by impartial historians, 75,000 Jews lost their lives in programs either instigated or condoned by this general. I could further document this tragic era in the life of all the Ukranian people, but that is not necessary. Suffice it to say, the attitude of the American people toward such enemies of humanity was clearly and unmistakably ex- pressed in the verdict of the re- cent Nurenberg trials. It is not easy nor pleasant to resuscitate these facts from the annals of history. But unpleasant or not, they are facts, and a ma- ture concern for the well-being of our civilization demands that they be faced and recognized. Only by recognizing who our heroes really are can we best preserve and de- fend our precious heritage of American democracy. -Rabbi Herschel Lymon * * * i tee, senator, or pressure group to another - always endeavoring to satisfy the desires of as many in- fluential people as possible. But a football would be a poor symbol for two reasons: 1) Not many people would recognize its double significance, and 2) Some would interpret it to mean that the college president is appointed for his ability to evade issues rather than face them. Regardless of how presumptuous this belief may be, it would certainly not lend much prestige to college presidents in general and the high office they hold. But there is one better symbol which he can be pictured holding in his hands just as the G.I. holds his rifle and the bride her bouquet of flowers: a saucer and a cup of tea. This would symbolize the so- cial teas which it has become tra- ditional for many of these distin- guished executives to hold during the year. With this symbol, we capture the intrinsic value of the college president to most students: perfect and casual exemplification of the art of graceful and gracious living. No lemon please. Just cream and sugar. -E. Sterling Sader * * * Misre presentation** To the Editor: THE things that are mentioned in this year's Ensian-it ain't necessarily so. Which is to say that I have been misquoted, mis- represented, and misinterpreted by seven lines of fiction that might be mistaken for fact. Perhaps I am not Jonathan Swift, but neither am I Rousseau as the article would seem to indicate. And while I am not a skeptic in the sense that I believe an atomic bomb is going to fall on Ann Arbor next week (which was the, question asked in the interview), I am one in that I believe the impetus for knowl- edge originates in skepticism. Again, I have spent four wonder- ful years here at the University and could learn much if I were to return next year and every year after that, but I feel it would be even more advantageous to take graduate work elsewhere. Certain- ly I want to write, but would not "painfully" refer more to the Ensian editor's struggles in writ- ing this article than to my goals? I am, of course, honored to be chosen as a representative of the senior class and I realize it is difficult to write a sketch of some- one you have talked to only for a short while (taking none or few notes), but it is not Hoyle to mis- quote or incompletely quote simp- ly for the sake of constructing copy. Furthermore, I was promised by the editor of the Ensian that I would be allowed to check the copy BEFORE it was printed. This was not honored. As it stands, those little misinterpreted state- ments of misquoted monologue were printed without permission. Perhaps the worst of this is that not only is this copy untrue-it's not even well written. Aristotle said that it was Homer who taught the poets to lie suc- cessfully. Could I lend my Iliad? -Joan Striefling * * * Genocide Debate ..e. To the Editor: A BELIEF in free speech does not include walking around with no preconceived ideas about anything: Ted Friedman's state- ment setting forth the reasons Member Of The Wedding 9 W i V t ely flimsy evidence which those who make this indictment pre- sent. But the S.D.A., decided to spon- sor the debate, although it felt the charge of genocide was a "fraud- ulent misrepresentation," a n d reeked of "insincere duplicity," because it believed that since gen- ocide had become such an issue on campus it might as well subject the charge to the most strenuous test of truth-debate against Prof. Slosson. No, liberalism does not mean no pre-conceived ideas on charges of the seriousness of genocide, which the S.D.A. did have, but it does mean allowing everyone to voice his gripes, which the S.D.A. at- tempted to do. -Leonard Sandweiss Book Exchange.. .. To the Editor- T HIS YEAR, your Student Legis- lature is making an all out attempt to provide you with the best opportunities to sell your us- ed books at your own prices. Collections will be made in ev- ery dormitory and quadrangle as well as at the General Library, the Union, the School of Business Ad- ministration. and Angell Hall. Booths in the residence halls will operate primarily during meal hours; other stations will be open from 11:30 to 5:30 beginning Thursday, June 5, until Thursday, June 12. S.L. will be able to return to you 90% of your list price. The other 10% will be used for operating ex- penses, the state 3% sales tax, and a small profit. The Student Legislature Book Exchange Committee was created in response to an overwhelming ref erendu vote supporting it in the April elections. -Victor Hampton Student Legislature Book Exchange Committee ** * Democracy. . . To the Editor: IN THE hearts and minds of men, democracy has long been a beautiful ideal. Concepts such as liberty, freedom, and equality have been treated differently by free thinking men in all the ages, but the essential and basic fea- tures of democratic societies have existed and shall continue to exist as long as man is able to grasp a feeling for his brother and his own well-being. The old Greeks had the idea and thought it could best be implemented by direct repre- sentation by each individual in the society. The English have beeh able to reconcile their traditional Monarchy with democratic sys- tems of government. Our American heritage has given us another form of democracy which, though not as perfect as many would like, works fairly well. Naturally,pwerAmericans feel a great deal of pride for our own brand of government, and we have a deep concern with the external threats which we must face from time to time. We think, and rightly so, that the best way to preserve what we feel to be the best way of life, is to keep our democracy strong here at home and to improve on the old ideals which we have been given by our forefathers, if necessary. Times like this are extremely distressing to us, and it is now when we face best method of teaching a thing as vague and nebulous as democ- racy to young people is -to pro- vide opportunities for them to ex- perience it in life. This is a principle which could easily be applied to any university community. I feel it is imperative that this principle be applied to. all of our university communities, as they are considered to be the breeding ground for the future leaders of the country which is our home. In light of these feelings which I hold, I am extremely dis- tressed with the apparent failure of our particular University Ad- ministrators to realize these few essential facts in the process of democratic education. I feel that this charge is en- tirely justified in the light of recent campus events. First, the unjustified blasts at the recog- nized student government by cer- tain top level administrators sev- eral weeks ago. Second, the gradu- al lessening of importance of the Committee on Student Affairs, the highest governmental authority in our community on which students have voting representation; and the concurrent increasing impor- tance of the recommendations of administrators which usually ac- company rulings of the SAC. Third, and possibly the most criti- cal cancer in our community's democracy, is the failure to imp- lement ideological democracy with practical legislation which would lead to democratic equality. The fact that two successive presidents of this University have seen fit to reject measures specifically aimed at removing written clauses sanc- tioning discrimination gives elo- quent testimony to verify this last statement. It is extremely unfortunate that adequate grounding in the princi- ples of democracy is denied to the students at an institution which could provide us with practical experience in our own ideology at this critical time. It appears, though, that as long as the power vested in the administrators of this university is handled in a semi - autocratic manner, that democracy at the University of Michigan will exist largely as a set of nebulous ideals in the mind. -Roger W. Wilkins * * * . s " a T . s Latest Blunder .. To the Editor: PERHAPS THE'University Com- mittee on Lectures might do well by reading an excerpt from a work by William Ellery Chan- ning which reads: "The right of free discussion is, therefore, to be guarded by the friends of mankind with pe- culiar jealousy. It is at once the most sacred and most endanger- ed of all our rights. He who would rob his neighbor of it should have a mark set on him as the worst enemy of freedom." The recent banning, of Mrs. Shore is the latest in a series of blunders committed by the Lecture Committee this year. If the Lec- ture Committee had allowed the debate on Genocide to procede as scheduled, I have no doubt 'but that the distinguished Professor Slosson would have made short work of those charging Genocide, and the whole subject would soon be dropped. No more "embaras- sing" speakers would desire to come back to be openly ridiculed. The recent action of the Lec- ture Committee proves, too, that it is absolutely foolishness to have two students sitting in on the Committee meetings. The Student Legislature, which has been pious- ly and steadfastly refusing to touch this "hot potato" issue, should at last realize this and come out with a vigorous policy statement against the principle of having such a Committee-wheth- er composed of young men, old men, or men of mixed ages! -Gene Mossner Sixty-Second Year Edited and managed by students of the University of Michigan under the authority of the Board in Control of Student Publications.
