T SEEMS TO ME1
By ALICE B. SILVER
Associate Editorial Director
AFTER the Democratic victories Nov. 4
Sen. McCarthy advised the Administra-
tion that it had better start raising the com-
munism in government issue if it expected
to win next year's Congressional elections.
Judging from Attorney General Brow-
nell's "bombshell' concerning Harry White
and Truman the GOP is taking the Sen-
ator's advice quite seriously.
With the release of the charge that Tru-
man willingly appointed a Russian spy, the
administration hinted strongly that "this is
only the beginning" of a series of &ttacks
centering around communism in govern-
ment.
If the Republicans follow through with
this it will be an extremely shrewd move, if
nothing else.
It is a common observation that the ma-
jority of voters who switched their allegiance
from the Democratic party to the GOP in
1952 did so on the basis of the Republicans'
'Fight Communism' stand.
Elections of the past few weeks; partic-
ularly those in Wisconsin and New Jersey,
pointed up the failure of the Eisenhower
Administration to offer a meaningful do-
mestic program to the people. The Repub-
licans thus far have failed with their
farm policy (if they have one). They
have failed to do anything about Taft-
Hartley-consequently Durkin's resigna-
tion. Thus far they have failed in general
to put through a program in the public
interest.
Apparently the Republicans are beginning
to realize that in terms of their own econom-
ic self interest the majority of Americans
will identify with the Democratic )arty.
Thus we have a revival of the 1952 GOP
election theme which placed the emphasis
not on positive legislation for the welfare of
the people but on the internal threat of com-
munism.
This manner of vote getting-now seem-
ingly adopted by GOP leaders in addition
to the small fry such as McCarthy-is a
vicious perversion of what the democratic
process ought to be. It is an approach to
politics which does not involve an exchange
of ideas concerning what is best for the
people but instead an approach which
plays upon and manipulates the fears and
insecurities of the people.
In this respect the White-Truman charge
is an attempt to indirectly identify the po-
litical opposition-the Democrats-with the
foreign opposition-Russia. It is a delib-
erate attempt to label the opposition dis-
loyal and to appeal to the voters from that
premise. Nothing could contribute less to the
political party process.
Sr1HE ABOVE are intended to be the general
implications of Brownell's charges. As
regards the specific case, it is extremely dif-
flIcult to reach a definite conclusion.
It will suffice until the case develops more
fully to make several brief points.
1. The specific content of the FBI reports
is unknown. The points against White can
range from verified evidence to mere hear-
say.
2. White's initial accusers were two peo-
ple not to be trusted under any conditions
-ex-Communists Elizabeth Bentley and
Whitaker Chambers.
3. The White House will not affirm the re-
port that the FBI reports reached the Pres-
ident.
4. Only one person of the nine whom
Brownell named as having received the FBI
report has confirmed the charge. That man
is James Byrnes, former Secretary of State
who split with Truman and stood behind Ike
in '52.
5. The Un-American Activities Commit-
tee has subpoened Truman thus taking the
case from the Justice flepartment and in
effect "throwing him to the wolves."
If this entire case develops along present

lines it will be known for some time as one
of the lowest political shams in a long while.
It is a move to discredit not only a former
,President of the United States and the Dem-
ocratic party, but in effect the majority of
Americans who elected Truman in 1948. It
is such a low insult that perhaps the Ameri-
can people will not forget it in 1954 and 1956.
Miller Article
(Continued from Page 1)
Dean of Students Walter B. Rea said, "Stu-
dents are not passive in any sense of the
word. They question, interrogate, want to
know the why of the rules. In the past,
the tendency was to think: 'So what'?"
He added, "From the postwar years on,
especially, we've found students of high
calibre. The tempo set by the returning vet-
erans has not been reduced."
Assistant to the President Erich A. Walter
did think that present day students differ
from the veterans because, "Ever since the
war, students have been rushing toward
their degrees as never before." At attributes
this to the ever-present threat of the draft.
When Miller observes the University, he
asks himself, "What's . wrong?" He arrives
at the conclusion, "I did not feel any love
around the place . . . it just feels like an
insurance company, that's all. And yet, with
eighteen to twenty thousand students, I sup-
pose you've got to have it."
Few people would quibble with Miller's
point, yet there is agreement that the Uni-
versity is not wholly inhuman and that per-

ELECTION REFERENDA:
The Final Exam Question

"I've Been Sitting Up With A Sick Trend"

By HELENE SIMON
Daily Associate Editor
THE CHANGE in the final examination
schedule last spring was one of the
more unpleasant surprises which the ad-
ministration has handed the student body.
In the Student Legislature elections today
and tomorrow students will have the oppor-
tunity to register their opinions on three
alternatives through the referendum, al-
though it is dubious that even an over-
whelming vote will have great effect.
One of the alternatives suggests re-
taining the present exam schedule, but
a fair and more logical proposal is the
one suggesting a return to the system ex-
isting before last spring which provided
for a "dead period" and a longer number
of days to complete examinations. The
main disadvantage to this proposal is that
seniors would not be officially graduated
at commencement but only recommended
for degrees.
It matters little to most seniors whether
they are officially graduated on commence-
ment or not, for by that time the majority
know if they will be receiving a degree.
Seniors, along with freshmen, sophoihores
and juniors, would be more likely to appre-
ciate extra time to study for exams and
increase their chances for graduation.
With so little time to actually study for
exams, one of the purposes of finals, name-
ly review, is nearly impossible to achieve.
Nor must the psychological disadvantage be
overlooked. How well can a student be ex-
pected to perform when he has two exams
one day, one the next and two the day
after? His grades will suffer merely from
sheer exhaustion.
...And the St
Pro.. .
ANN ARBOR is a midwest college town.
Its student population is not known
for excesses of radicalism or even enthusi-
asm.
Also, Ann Arbor is a city with most of
the civic problems that affect other cities.
Among these problems is the social prob-
lem of discrimination by business.
Thinking students and Ann Arbor citizens
have looked for ways to attack the problem.
For the most part, local businessmen have
taken the position that they are happy, or
a least willing to serve anyone who comes
into their store.
But a few businessmen acting on personal
prejudice or because of the mistaken idea
that they will keep most of their customers
happy by refusing to sell to certain groups,
still won't wait on a Negro, for example.
When students go to the polls today
and tomorrow, they will find this ques
tion on the ballot: "Are you in favor of
the distribution of a sticker of the 'Fair
Play the Wolverine Way' type to Ann Ar-
bor merchants?"
The idea behind the sticker is that the
great majority of local businesses which are
open to all customers can display the stick-
ers on their windows as an indication of
good citizenship.
The few recalcitrants who make a point
of keeping some groups of customers out
of their stores will probably feel some pres-
sure to change their ways. Certainly they
cannot post a sticker without the risk of
being embarrassed by "undesirable" cus-
tomers, nor can they fail to display a stick-
er without opening themselves to some cen-
sure from public opinion, and having to ex-
plain their position.
Of course, slow educational processes may
be necessary to eliminate a prejudice in the
long run. Of course, the sticker plan is only
a step in the right direction. It should cer-
tainly be followed up by other action. Per-
haps some sort of investigating and coun-
seling group along the lines of the Cham-
ber fo Commerce proposal would be helpful.
Meanwhile, however, the question is
not one of feelings or prejudice. Student
opinion at Michigan may not be fervent,
but it is certainly opposed to a situation
where a Negro cannot get his hair cut.

Faculty members are also feeling the
pinch under the present system, which in
many cases forces them to abandon the
essay exam in favor of the objective. The
latter, in many cases, consists only in in-
telligent guessing and does not truly re-
flect how much the student has received
from the course.
Those favoring the concentrated exam
schedule have claimed that parents object
to traveling many miles to see their chil-
dren only recommended for degrees and
not officially graduated. Most patents
would agree it would be better to lift some
of the pressure off their children and allow
them a fair time to study rather than in-
sisting on the technicality of official grad-
uation. It shouldn't be overlooked that the
University is supposed to operate on the
principle of what is best for the general
welfare of the student rather than his par-
ents.
Another alternative suggests retaining
the "dead period" but at the same time
shortening spring recess. Not only would
seniors object to this but other classes
would not be in favor of cutting spring
vacation short in order that official grad-
uation could be granted to the minority
of the student body.
Administrators have made it understood
that they would not go back to the old sys-
tem which would in all likelihood be most
satisfactory from the students' and facul-
ty's viewpoint. If students come out strong-
ly for the return to the "dead period,"-as
they probably will-it would be most unwise
for the administration to ignore an over-
whelming student vote.
icker' Proposal
The sticker proposal is the only anti-dis-
crimination suggestion on the ballot. A "yes
vote on this question is not a vote against
other possible ways of attacking discrimi-
nation. The only way to register student
opinion in favor of good citizenship is to
support the sticker proposal by a "yes" vote
today or tomorrow.
-Jon Sobeloff
Cona-.-.
THE STUDENT LEGISLATURE referen-
dum asking "Are you in favor of the
distribution of a sticker of the 'Fair Play
the Wolverine Way' type to the Ann Arbor
merchants?" sholud be opposed by students
in the all-campus elections today and to-
morrow.
As a measure aimed at the elimination
of discrimination in Ann Arbor the pro-
posal is ineffective and based on the naive
assumption that every one putting such a
marker in his window will be automati-
cally wiping his slate clean on the dis-
crimination issue.
The stickers will serve not to educate,
only to point out. They are not aimed at
an ultimate solution of the problem, only at
informing the public of the existence of a
problem.
The markers will be distributed to those
who are willing to post them in their es-
tablishments. Reasons for not posting
them may range from a company policy
against stickers of any kind to outright
discriminatory practices on the part of a
business. Yet all establishments .not
bearing the stickers would be suspect and
subject to the economic discrimination
of Ann Arbor buyers.
There is another, and a far more effec-
tive way to approach the problem. That is
through directly approaching merchants
and establishments concerned and discus-
sing the problem with them. Pressure from
the Chamber of Commerce, businessmen's
groups, the Student Legislature and adverse
newspaper publicity can be brought to bear
on offenders with considerably more effect
than any sticker devised.

STANLEY QUARTET: Gilbert Ross and
Emil Raab, Violins; Robert Courte,
Viola; Oliver Edel, Cello.
IN JUST FOUR years the Stanley Quartet
has become an institution at the Univer-
sity. The playing of this group, has grown
steadily in quality of ensemble, warmth of
tone, and maturity of interpretation. The
contrast between the Stanley concerts (for
which, by the way, no admission is charged)
and the slightly bored and boring profes-
sionalism of too many of the Choral Union
concerts is interesting and very revealing.
The performance last night was full of devo-
tion to the works played. The members of
the quartet are willing to let the music stand
by itself, without interference from spur-
ious "interpretations." This is the most that
can be expected from any performance.
The first composition played was the

it is nevertheless engaging music with a de-
lightfully spontaneous final movement. An
occasional slip of intonation or unsteadiness
of bowing did not detract from a superior
performance in which the musicians were
completely en rapport from the very begin-
ning.
The program continued with the Quar-
tet No. 4 by Bela Bartok. What were un-
doubtedly the most striking features of
the work to those who were listening to it
for the first time were the harsh disson-
ances, the percussive, jagged rhythms, and
the tremendously imaginative use of string
effects. But what makes the work an over-
whelming musical experience even after
repeated hearings is the logic and the
quality of inevitability in the flow from
first movement to finale. The performance
could not have been improved upon. The
contrasts between the movements were
brought out clearly and vividly. The tech-
nical finish (especially in the seemingly
