The Case for a Film Course
THE REAPPEARANCE of "Metamorpho-
sis" on campus this week is more than
an occasion to applaud amateur films.
The mere fact that a small group, op-
erating within financial and technical
limitations, could produce a full-length
feature with such success, is of course im-
portant. The basic crudity of "Metamor-
phosis" cannot be ignored, but it aims
at a standard of artistic excellence that
the professional film industry constantly
overlooks despite its technical perfection.
An amateur film such as "Metamorpho-
sis" underscores the still-undeveloped po-
tentialities of the cinema art.
But "Metamorphosis" also indicates that
the time has come for the film to be more
than an appendage to the academic world.
The influence of the cinema has become too
important for its history, function and pos-
sibilities to be ignored in a liberal educa-
tion. If there is enough film interest now
to produce a full-length feature, why isn't
this interest expanded in the classroom?
Groups such as the Gothic Film Society and
Student Legislature Cinema Guild are able
to make films available to the general pub-
lic, but they cannot provide for film analy-
sis. The logical solution is to incorporate
the film in the college curriculum.
The University does maintain an Audio-
Visual Education Center that makes films
available for classroom use, supplementing
the course material. But no course is of-
fered here that considers the film as a spe-
cific form of expression. At the University
of Southern California, movies are accepted
as part of the American cultural scene, and
a major in motion pictures is offered. Un-
fortunately this acceptance hasn't pene-
trated further than the seat of the motion-
picture industry.
However, the creation of a film appre-
ciation course here is more than an in-
teresting possibility. Student and faculty
interest and available facilities all can-
cel out objections to expanding the elab-
orate art appreciation program of the
University, encompassing art, music, dra-
ma, and literature, to include the film.
First of all, there is a large supply of
significant films available for study, both
in the more convenient 16 mm. size, and
the 33 mm. films shown commercially. The
Film Library of the Museum of Modern Art
circulates programs of films to almost 2,000
institutions throughout the country at low
rental rates of $20 for a 16 mm. movie and
$40 for 35 mm. films. A number of groups,
both in Chicago and New York, circulate
representative foreign and American films,
although their selection is not as complete
as the Museum of Modern Art Film Library.
Facilities on this campus for presenting
both 16 mm. and 35 mm. films are ex-
cellent. The Audio-Visual Center is able
to furnish projectors and operators as part
of its service for all 16 mm. films. These
can be shown in any classroom, and in
most auditoriums on campus. As for the
commercial films, there are four places
on campus which have the more extensive
facilities necessary for their showing: Hill
Auditorium, Lydia Mendelssohn and Rack-
ham Amphitheater. The only additional
cost involved in showing 35 mm. films
(outside the rental fee) would be a un-
ion operator..
The scene is set for a film appreciation
course-the next step is up to the adminis-
tration. The motion picture has come a
long way since its first public showing in
1895. It is now a contemporary art worthy
of serious consideration, worthy of being
recognized in the University's curriculum.

Tag Day
THE TRADITIONAL Tag Day bucket
will. be replaced today and tomorrow
by tin cans carefully marked with Fresh
Air Camp signs.
The containers are different, but the
cause is no less worthy than in previous
years. The drive gives the campus an
opportunity to contribute to the Univer-
sity Fresh Air Camp which provides sum-
mer recreation for over 400 underprivi-
leged Michigan boys. The camp, which
over the past years has taken on socio-
logical functions, provides a rehabilita-
tion program for the campers and a
training program for students in this
field.
According to tradition the tin cans
will be manned by students, faculty
members and alumni.
The campus will have a chance today
and tomorrow to show a sense of com-
munity responsibility by contributing
generously to Tag Day.

To the Editor:
I SHOULD LIKE to see Profes-
sor Ramzi's evidence that the
burnings in Cairo on January 26,
1952, were the work of "the agents
of Farouk and the British." It will
take a lotto convince me that
Britain instigated the destruction
of British property in Cairo valu-
ed, at the time, at three to five
million pounds sterling. Accord-
ing to my information, from reli-
able neutral sources, the burnings
were the work of a well-organized
Egyptian group, possibly Ahmad
Husayn's party; they were allow-
ed to proceed unhindered 'by the
Egyptian police; and the Wafdist
Minister of the Interior, Fu'ad
Serag ad-Din, made no move to
call in the Egyptian army. After
a whole day of riots, the army
was called in by the King and
promptly restored order.

WASHINGTON-Behind all the furor ov-
er the dismissal of Dr. Allen V. Astin
as head of the Bureau of Standards are
some interesting maneuvers hitherto un-
known to the public.
These quiet tactics center around the
Bureau's vital development work on fuses
for bombs, shells and guided missiles. For
years several large corporations have'
been anxious to take over the Bureau's
fuse program. Naturally if a private com-
pany gets in on the ground floor in de-
signing fuses, it would be in the best po-
sition to get subsequent multimillion-dol-
lar fuse-production contracts.
As far back as March 2, little more than
a month after Sinclair Weeks was sworn in
as Secretary of Commerce and as boss of
the Bureau of Standards, Moorehead Pat-
terson, President of the American Machine
and Foundry Co., paid a visit to the Bureau
of Standards. As head of the huge A.M.&F.
Co., and a good friend of Secretary Weeks,
Mr. Patterson was given a warm reception.
"I understand," said Patterson, "that
this whole research and development pro-
gram on fuses will soon be taken away
from the Bureau. I want you all to know
my company will be happy to pick up the
pieces." "In addition," he told the startled
scientists, "I'm ready to move the whole
operation, including personnel, to my Bos-
ton plant."
This was well before Sinclair Weeks fired
Dr. Astin.
It was also the first inkling the scientists
had that the nation's vital fuse program was
to be put on the auction block. In fact,
they were skeptical about Patterson's pre-
diction and went Ahead with their work.
Patterson, however, was so sure of his in-
formation that, before leaving Washington,
he made attractive financial offers to sev-
eral key scientists.
PENS AND FUSES
THE FOLLOWING WEEK, Fred K. Pow-
ell, Jr., vice-president of American Ma-
chine and Foundry, arrived in Washington.
Powell went so far as to tell Pentagon and
Commerce Departngnt officials that his
CURRENTn MOVE

AGAINST ALL FLAGS, with Maureen
O'Hara and Errol Flynn.
AS MIGHT BE expected from the title
and previews, this picture is not of the
highest calibre. It has nothing new to offer
except Maureen O'Hara wielding a wicked
sword.
The story is the usual cut-and-dried pi-
rates and British navy clash, with the
Invincible xood Men scoring their inevi-
table victory. Miss O'Hara is a bad-on-
the-outside but good-down-deep pirate
captain who uses Errol Flynn, a king's
spy, to make her escape from the barbar-
ism of the piratical life to the wonders
of urban society.
What mistakes the story fails to commit'
are amply replaced by the inefficiency of
company was ready to absorb the whole
fuse program "on a moment's notice."
Then, on March 25, Secretary Weeks
wrote a confidential letter to defense
boss Charlie Wilson urging the Pentagon
to remove the fuse program from Weeks'
own Bureau of Standards. Weeks' letter
to Wilson was disguised in official double-
talk, but its meaning was clear. He wrote:
"I bring this (fuse program) to your at-
tention in case you wish to delegate some-
one to check these expenditures and, per-
haps, suggest an examination and even a
re-evaluation of the research program."
At first this got no favorable response
from the Defense Department. Armed serv-
ices knew the amazing job the Bureau of
Standards had done on fuses. When others
failed, Bureau scientists had developed the
proximity fuse during World War II, the
fuse which explodes when it approaches its
target, and which causes the amazing guid-
ed missile to steer a course toward its tar-
get.
In fact, Army-Navy experts wrote a
confidential memo to Secretary of De-
fense Wilson warning against danger to
the guided-missile program if Dr. Astin
was not reinstated.
Later, however, Secretary of Commerce
Weeks got his way. His colleague, Secretary
of Defense Wilson, has now issued instruc-
tions to curtail further military research
funds for the Bureau of Standards.
NOTE: Assistant Secretary of Commerce
Sheaffer, the fountain-pen manufacturer,
told friends that one of the first things he
would do in Washington was shake up the
Bureau of Standards. He claimed they had
been unfair in testing one of his pens.

May Festival
EUGENE ORMANDY opened our sixtieth
May Festival by paying homage to Serge
Prokofieff, the Russian composer whose
death a few months ago signaled the end of
an era. He was the last Russian composer
who was able to practice his art on foreign
shores.
His seventh symphony is a shocking de-
parture from the works that preceded it.
Gone is the heavy orchestration and thick
texture that had made his music so weigh-
ty and ponderous. Gone is intensity, the
dynamic crescendos that related him to
the symphonic tradition, and perhaps
earned him the dubious Soviet epithet,
bourgeois formalist. Gone are the disson-
ances and clashes, a style from which he
was gradually taking leave through the
years anyway. Gone are the rather exotic-
ally contoured melodic intervals that had
defined his themes, and the motor rhythm
from which he had occasionally created
strength.
What is left is simplicity, banal simplici-
ty. Prokofieff's defenders have called this
work the composer's answer to his Com-
munist critics, to the purges of the last few
years. Though documented information on
this issue is most certainly not available, I
feel that this -is only half an answer. I have
never felt that Prokofieff reached maturity
as a composer. The modernity of the twen-
ties, to which he was exposed in Paris, has
always seemed to me inherently hostile to his
temperament. .
Prokofieff felt the seventh symphony. It
is almost Mahlerian in that it finds expres-
sivity in contrasting melodic sections, dwell-
ing on striking though simple harmonies,
reaching for romantic heights and epigra-
matic flavors, and leaving structure to the su-
perficial though obvious method of using four
movements related only in the return of the
first movement in the finale.
Organic structure, emotional depth is
not in this music. It is more like a French
ballet, music for the cinema, and at times
symphonic arrangements a la Kostalan-
etz. But throughout Prokofieff's career
this strain has been underlying. Is it not
at bottom basic to Peter and the Wolf,
Romeo and Juliet, and his fifth sympho-
ny? But here, where Prokofieff lays it bare,
it lacks individuality of style. There is too
much of other composers.
At times the work contains satire, a qulity
he immortalized in his Classical symphony.
This was shown by the cinematic theme in
the first movement, and by the rondo theme
of the last movement. But even here it is
too trite to be more than passively effective.
There is nothing irritating about this
work. It is tuneful, and pleasant. However it
lacks style, and thereby greatness. Taken as
a whole and also with his entire creative
output it represents a testimonial of a com-
poser who never found his expressive man-
ner, but who did approach the threshold.
Perhaps this is only justice to a man who,
from the reports we do have, also never com-
pleted his intellectual struggle.
Needless to say Mr. Ormandy gave the
work a stunning performance, with his
magnificent string section having free play
throughout. The Philadelphia orchestra is
the world's finest symphonic instrument,
and their playing of the "Academic Festi-
val Overture" of Brahms stated this fact
at the outset of the concert.
The soloist of the evening was Alexan-
der Brailowsky who performed the Cho-
pin E minor Concerto for Piano and Or-
chestra. Here is a work where the inspec-
chestra. Here is a work where interpre-
purposes there is none, expect for what the
repetition of themes gives.
The concerto has plenty of the melodic
lyricism for which the composer is fa-
mous. Brailowsky gave it a robust interpre-
tation, something not usually considered
