The Bias Claus Problem -
Here and at Columbia
LAST YEAR the National Interfraternity
Council passed a resolution which de-
clared that "any attempt to restrict or regu-
late" the right of a college fraternity to
choose its own members was "an inadvis-
able interference with the fundamental right
of free association guaranteed by the United
States Constitution."
Last week at Columbia University this
doctrine was given a neat twist by the
Committee on Student Organization which
'decided to withdraw recognition by Oct. 1,
1960 all campus groups, except religious
groups, that deny membership because of
an applicant's race, color or creed.
A statement accompanying the decision
supplied the new angle. It said simply that
"Columbia wished to protect the student's
freedom to select' friends and associates ac-
cording to personal interests and tastes
against interference by persons or groups
outside the University."
Of course the outside groups the state-
ment referred to were not those the National
IFC had in mind when their resolution was
formed but the national fraternity organiza-
tions themselves.
Unfortunately the climate in which this
Columbia opinion grew differs markedly
from that on this campus. Apparently the.
S IFC at Columbia a month ago protested
"the involuntary discrimination forced on
Columbia chapters by their national con-
stitutions."
No such statement has ever come from
Michigan's IFC. Instead the IFC has con-
sistently fought the efforts of both the Stu-
dent Legislature and the Student Affairs
Committee to place a clause removal time
limit which would air fraternities in balking
the yoke of the nationals.
The fraternities have been backed up by
University Presidents Ruthven and Hatcher
via the veto and thus we are left with the
Acacia Plan now renamed the Michigan
Plan which is under the guidance of the
Big Ten Counselling and Information Ser-
vice. This committee has its offices on this
campus and is headed by- John Baity, newly
elected IFC executive secretary.
Thus far all of the 13 campus fraterni-
ties with acknowledged bias clauses have
been contacted by the IFC counselling
service, and five have responded by en-
listing the aid of the service in investi-
gating the bias situation throughout their
national organizations. Though this re-
sponse is heartening considering past ef-
forts on the local scale, the Columbia ac-
tion turned up the disquieting fact that
at least several fraternities had restrictive
clauses hidden in their rituals, but were
constitutionally free from such clauses. On
campus, for example, two houses not
known to have bias restrictions were cited
in the New York Times story as having
restrictive ritualistic provisions.
Therefore, it 'is difficult to determine if
13 or 30 local fratei'nities have clauses, and
this indefinite situation probably cannot be
ended without some strong measure that will
force houses to admit to their restrictive
practices and clean them up. Persuing a
policy of impartial help, the local IFC can
do little but send out questionnaires for a
few houses-a process that seems inade-
quate considering the magnitude of the bias
problem.
Instead of continuing a policy which is
making some progress but which seems to be
rift with practical inadequacies, the IFC
might do better to evaluate the declaration
of the Columbia IFC group and strike out on
similar lines here at the University. The
voluntary participation of five houses in the
counselling program attests to an increas-
ing willingness to hasten clause removal,
and fraternity sentiment seems to be ccf-
stantly more in favor of the principle of
removing restrictive practices.
Along with a strengthened policy stand
on record, the IFC should encourage more
of the houses with clauses to start their
work on clause removal now. Although
1954 national conventions seem far in the
future at this stage, much groundwork
must go into an effective drive for delet-
ing national restrictions and the ques-
tionnaire service is the first step in start-
ing these efforts. ,
Unfortunately, the IFC has preferred not
to exert any influence in seeing that houses
sign up for the service. An attitude of com-
placency, however, can have no justification
on this campus when other IFC groups are
taking stock of .the bias situation, setting
their goal as clause removal and courageous-
ly indorsing and implementing a program
which is strong enough to make national
organizations take notice of this goal.

Soap's Faux Pas
A Review of 3-D
A LTHOUGH IT IS obvious that three
dinmensional cinema is going'to stand
or fall eventually on the basis of its mater-
ial rather than its technical virtuosity, it
is too early to base an attitude of hopeless-
ness on such early efforts as "Man in the
Dark," a monumental bore of a picture,
currently showing locally. The 3-D up-
heaval is being taken seriously at all levels
of the industry, and is no mere palace revo-
lution which will affect a few "extrava-
ganza" productions. It is going to be more
than a sixty-day wonder; and it is equally
clearly not going to pin its future on the
stereoscopic principle which requires its au-
diences to wear special glasses. Rather, it
will employ some form of modified depth
perception, probably with single projection
and a large curved screen.
Wide-screen, non-stereoscopic features
are already in production at Twentieth
Century Fox, Universal, Paramount, Co-
lumbia, and just lately, Metro and Warn-
ers have announced their own processes.
Cinemasope, the Fox process, photo-
graphs an area approximately two-and-
a-half times the width of the present
frame; it is a single-projection process
employing a prismatic lens. The first
feature to be released, using it, will be
Lloyd Douglas's "The Robe," rushes of
which have been, according to easily excit-
ed gossip columnists, slightly sensational.
So far, there has been no standardiza-
tion among the big companies as to rela-
tive size of the wide-screen images. The pre-
sent 1.33:1 relationship between the width
and the height of the frame has been re-
vised to the extreme oblong of 2.66:1 at Fox;
2:1 at Metro and Universal; 1.85:1 at Co-
lumbia; and 1.66:1 at Paramount, closest to
the present ratio.. Warners, who have so
far been silent on dimensions, may help de-
cide the issue.
The best introduction to what wide-screen
motion pictures means can still be obtained
in this area where the pioneers, Cinerama,
have opened their triple-projection process
at the Music Hall Theater in Detroit. After
their New York hit, however, and later suc-
cess in Detroit and Los Angeles, Cinerama
has not had a follow-up production for
their audiences, and are consequentlysuf-
fering an executive shake-up at the pre-
sent. But their first program, a two-hour
series of travelogue and assorted short sub-
jects, is as slick and colorful a cinematic
circus as you can imagine. Add the newly
installed stereophonic sound and the ef-
fect becomes a little overwhelming.
To look beyond the spectacle, however,
the question arises: whattare wide -screen
movies going to mean to the serious film-
goer? If 3-D lasts, what, if anything will
be gained? What lost?
Quick impressions indicate a number of
things. First,of all, without a framework to
enclose the action ,there is a definite sense
of watching an event rather than a picture,
This elimination of proscenium, results in
not more trickery (as critics of stereoscopic
films say), but actually less need for de-
vices and convention.
The technicues of close-up, montage. and
the rapid cutting will be greatly or com-
pletely abrogated. The close-up is no long-
er necessary since a three-quarter shot will
afford as large a scrutiny of a character's
face as the close-up provided. Montages and
rapid cuts change the vast visual field so ra-
pidly that they cannot be used for any-
thing but a substantial nervous jolt. Scenes
may run as long as fifteen minutes in
wide-screen cinema; and actors will be call-
ed on for more versatility and greater the-
atrical energy than before. Camera tricks
often substituted for an actor's shortcomings
formerly.
To be solved by the technicians are
problems like excessive eyestrain (but peo-
ple seeing their first talkie also said:
"Gave me a splitting headache-they'll
never catch on.) Also, sitting outside of
the center of the field of vision has caus-
ed distortion in most of the processes.
The Russians, who have a 3-D process
called stereokino, have had trouble here.
They project, not on a screen, but a bunch
of needle-sharp prisms wgich reflect the
projector image in such a way that the
right eye sees only the image intended
for the right eye, and the left eye the
image intended for it. But move your
head a little.
A British writer, Christopher Brunel, of-
fers a final provocative, if heavily optimistic,
viewpoint on 3-D films. Brunel writes:
"The film's experiments in space will be
bound to have their effects on those more
established arts-sculpture and architec-
turethatalso deal with solids. A virile
stereoscopic cinema will bring to these
older arts many creative minds-think-
ing, talking, dreaming, and above all,
working and eperimenting with space and
volume. A better appreciation of these
arts by the cinema's mass audiences will
be a result of 3-D movies. And by possess-
ing the added feature of movement, 3-D
films may soon be a sharp challenge to
sculptors. Maybe some artists will even
stop sneering at the cinema!"
Maybe. But then much of the sneering
has been healthy for Hollywood. There is

THE YOUNG DEMOCRAT CLUBS of Mi-
chigan paid tribute last weekend to their
bright-eyed boy whose willing handshake
and infallible memory for names have help-
ed win him the governorship of Michigan
for three consecutive terms--an impressive
record for a Democrat in this die-hard Re-
publican state.
Unfortunately, whern Williams stood up
to respond to the YD 'tribute, his speech
left the audience straining to supply the
meaning Williams himself had neglected
to include.
"The Democratic party is not in power to-
day because we failed to adapt our policies
to meet the needs of the day," Williams said.
Having reiterated for a few phrases this
failure to "turn over our policies to keep up
with the people," Williams seemed to catch
himself. He launched into a more soothing
reference to the great principles of Jeffer-
son on which the party is based and con-
cluded by saying, "We (i.e. the Democrats)
must remold our policies to fit the needs of
the day."
Williams had left himself open to some
harsh criticism. By not pointing out ex-
actly what failures in the Democratic
campaign he was particularly referring to,
listeners were allowed to infer any one Hof
a number of things.
Finally, a group of YD's from Ann Arbor
and Lansing called upon a tall extremely
distinguished man, who sported the twin to
Soapy's bow tie. He had been expressing
himself enthusiastically on education and
the eighteen-year-old vote while young and
not-so-young Democrats hung on every
word.

THIS CONSERT was outstanding for two
reasons. With the exception of the Col-

grams featuring composers of a pre-Bach.
vintage, and it was the first time in many a
season that We have been entertained by a
brass quintet, a combination that can be
very rewarding, especially in pre-Bach and
contemporary music.
The members of the ensemble were Ren-
old Schilke and Adolph S. Herseth, trum-
pets, Hugh Alan Cowden, French horn,
Frank Crisafulli, trombone, and Arnold
Jacobs, tuba. Paul Wilwerth, trumpet, as-
sisted in the fourth movement of the Sex-
tet by Bemi. The group performed pre-
cisely, briskly, and with good intonation.
They had a nice tone, and in the Bemi
In exceedingly articulate, intelligent tones,
Frank Blackford, William's legislative secre-
tary, said everything Williams should have
said but didn't. He made sense and gave
meaning to what had been meaningless, and
for half an hour convinced most of us Wil-
liams was the one who had actually said it.
What the governor was trying to say,
Blackford told the group, was that the
Democratic party made a mistake in try.
ing to win the election by holding up the
past twenty years of prosperity to the peo-
ple when they should have been offer.
ing them sincere legitimate promises for
the future.
"When Kefauver and other Democratic
candidates came to Michigan they discussed
such 20-year-old issues as social security
and TVA instead of up-to-date questions
directly affecting the state, for' example
Michigan shorelines and flood control."
Blackford spoke of the importance of em-
phasizing that it is not the intention of the
Democratic party to interfere with private
enterprise. "When private enterprise doesn't
do the job however, that's when we step
in," he said.
It seems a shame that sound political
thinking, articulately expressed, had to
come from Williams secretary rather than
from the Governor himself.
Young blood and fresh ideas, effectively
matured and combined with his invaluable
ability to win votes makes Williams an ex-
ample of the kind of men that can bring
the Democratic party back to power. Even
such minor functions as YD dinners de-
serves more careful speech preparation than
Williams saw fit to give.

by Gottfried Reiche, "Kiss Me Kate" by
Thomas Weelkes, and three baroque works.
The highlight of this portion of the pro-
gram were the two Canzoni by Gabrielli, a
composer of the beginning of the sixteenth
century, and one of music history's greatest
and most unacknowledged musicians.
Both these works contained juxtaposi-
tions of phrases of different rhythmic pat-
terns and recurring imitative melodic en-
trances. They have a rhythmic and melod-
ic vitality that, when performed sharply
with each part defined as well was done
last night, provides- an animated, spon-
taneous spirit that today we find so de-
lightful in jazz, and which has such an
immediate appeal to the twentieth cen-
tury.
After intermission the music was devoted

To The Editor:
THE NEED for an impartial
court to review Arab claims was
fulfilled in 1946 by the establish-
ment of the Anglo-American Com-
mission of Inquiry. In fact, those
with opinions on the Commission
were not favorablehat the outset
of the hearings to an impartial
review of Jewish claiis, and like-
wise were decidedly sympathetic
to the Arab point of view for'
various reasons.
To cite a few examples, Wilfred
Crick, an intimate friend of Ernest
Bevin, R. H. S. Crossman who later'
reviewed his feeling as based on
"ignorance and oil", William'
Steinspring, who published a series
of articles entitled, "The Misguid-
ed Efforts of the Zionists to Secure
Political Control of Palestine".
Howard Beely, who spoke of es-
tablishing a "cordon sanitaire" of
Arab states of which Palestine
was to be "a strong link in the
chain", Major Manningham Bul-
ler, who still felt obligated to
"carry the white man's burden",
Sir John Singleton, who thought
of the Zionists as political agita-
tors utilizing "Nazi methodology,
Ambassador Phillips, who, with
Sir Frederick Leggit, viewed the
situation with what has been char-
acteristically called the "Soviet
jitters".
These, in turn, had the unoffi-
cial approval of Mr. Loy Hender-
son of the State Department and
the indifferent attitudes of Mr.
Ernest Bevin, who ultimately
scrapped the committee's recom-
mendations for immediate Jewish
immigration and the partition of
Palestine into respective Arab and
Jewish States.
During the course of the hear-
ings, the Arab "angle" was like-
wise represented in Washington
by the Institute of Arab Affairs
led by Phillip K. Hitti, Professor
at Princeton University. In Jeru-
salem it was presented by the bril-
liant Albert K. Hourani, a grad-
uate of Oxford University. Both
pleaded their case in an eloquent;
English not always characteristic
of the Jewish agency leaders whom,
I have heard on many an occasion.
Ultimately, one may state the com-
mittee's recommendations were;
dictated primarily by the condi-
tions prevailing among the Jewish
refugees on the continent. In light
of Mr. Purrha's claims, the validity
of these recommendations are dis-
cussed here only as subordinate to
the fact that the Arabs were able
to present their case in an eloquent
fashion at times before a commis-
sion which, at the outset, if not
impartial, was sympathetic to
their viewpoint.

Arab Ghetto ..-.
To The Editor:
T MAY BE interesting to the
"peace loving" Israelis and their
sympathizers to read what Hal
Lehrman, a Jewish correspondent
for the New York Times wrote af-
ter his visit to Israel:
"It may be a peculiar word to
use, but 'ghetto' is the one I think
of for the guarded enclosure where
Arabs are concentrated in Jaffa
and other once important Arab
towns. The restraints on travel
put a competitive handicap on
Arab workers in finding jobs and
on Arab businessmen in drumming
up trade. Many Arabs complain
too, that they are barred from
tending their farms any distance
from their places of enforced resi-
dence, that their lands are spoil-
ing of neglect and that they are
being taxed for property from
which they derive no benefit."
As for the excuse that these
Arabs of Israel are security risks,
that was the excuse used by Hitler
and just recently the Kremlin for
the waves of Anti-Semitism in
Russia.

To the Editor:
WITH REGARD to Prof. Slos-
son's word last Sunday, I
would like to start first by admir-
ing some good points such as ex-
plaining that the argument of the
fact that the Jews had lived in
Palestine in ancient times can be
used by all sorts of peoples in
claiming all sorts of places. Anoth-
er good point the Prof. mentioned
was to maintain having faith in
the United -Nations Organization,
specially that both sides involved
are members of the organization,
and that had they stood by its de-
cisions, a less complex problem
would have been created.
But, I question the source of in-
formation from which Prof. Slos-
son has obtained the idea of the
Arabs being driven out after mem-
bers of the Arab League began to
interfere- The facpt is that those

To the Editor:
AS FOR MR. SLOSSON'S learn-
ed comments, it seems that
"demigoguory" only stirs blinding
dust! He is not 'on the fence nor
off it, just where is he then?
Labeling my attitude with malice
as "North Korean" is a very poor
camouflage and it certainly does
not bring the issue to a clashing
climax!
I refer Mr. Slosson to the tine
of the partition' again; subsequent
to a telegram by 26 U.S. senators;
(domestic politics) sent by demo-
cratic senator Bob Wagner to 12
UN delegations, Paraguay, the
Philippines, Haiti and Luxembourg
changed their votes! "Partition"
was dead without these votes; but
it became quite deadly. Yes sir the
UN is a tool for "private inter-
ests!"
And in the invasion of the South
Korean by the North Korean, the
UN strongly condemned the in-
vasion as "un-democratic" and
yet the UN upheld a Zionist in-
vasion of Palestine which viciously
disrupted the lives of a population
some fifty times the size ofour
campus. Now, Mr. Slossop, both
invasions are of the same nature,
both unjust, both equally devastat-
ing, and both equally dangerous
to world peace. Why?
On one hand the strong upheld
the weak condemned; on the oth-
er the UN caused a million souls;
human beings, sir, to lose their
homes, their property, their hu-
man rights, their dignity as hu-
man beings, and the UN exposed
those defenseless men, women and
children to disease, filth, hunger,
indignation, and denied them the
right to even dye on their own
soile in their own homes! Yes the
UN made the four corners of the
Arab land the graveyard for the
Arab Palestinian refugees! My
conscious is deeply stirred over
your attitude as an impartial Am-
erican.
Along the bank of our rivers in
Lebanon, men and women stand
in silence with their babies writh-
ing with hunger, skins tightly
drawn on their ghastly faces, eyes
protruding, with a look of hope-
lessness and despair, and a fear of
death,.the following day, they look
toward the VN and to people like
you Mr. Slosson, for a 'kind

this is the will of a UN, then for-

in misery?
Yes sir the UN has shamefully
planted the seeds for a future war
and it has nourished it for five
years with the blood of our Arab
refugees and we do not like it!

Driving Ban ...
To the Editor:
THIS PROPOSITION Las pro-
bably already been suggested,
discussed, revised, and rejected by
those people who have nothing
more to do other than suggest, dis-
cuss, revise, and reject proposi-
tions. The SL, and also student
opinion as indicated by poll, seem
to think it would be convenient if
the driving ban were lifted. Those
people who have the power to re-
move the ban, however, are not
too convinced. They cannot be
convinced because there are no
means of showing the conse-
quences of' removing the ban until
the ban is actually removed. They
don't know what hell is like be-
cause they've never been there,
and they don't seem to have the
nerve to die and go find out.
Why not propose a temporary
lifting of tle ban? Weigh the per-
centage of deaths and injuries
from auto accidents, observe the
parking and traffic problems, and
not the broken hearts of those poor
unfortunates who lack the four-
wheel personality for purposes of
dating.
The best way to stop students
from violating a restriction, is to
remove the restriction. They could
cavort, conscience free, for two
semesters, the University could
gloat in the satisfaction of saying,
"See, we told you so", and the Ann
Arbor Police could have a ball
giving parking tickets. The ban
could then be reinforced or thrown
out, and the SL could go back to
some less world weighty problem
such as bickering over the bias
clause.
