PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1953 University of Michigan- The Birth Place of Salesmen By VIRGINIA VOSS Daily Editorial Director DRAMATISTS like to dramatize and old grads like to reminisce. Arthur Miller is both and does both in his essay on the University in the December Holiday. . The results of Mr. Miller's week-long revisit of the "small world" campus which graduated him in 1938 are not aimed at objectivity, are objective to us only in the sense that the playwright-alumnus fits none of the categories of student, faculty member, administrator, or stereotyped "alum," from which viewpoints analyses of the University usually come. But good writers have a way of turning the subjective analysis into something the objective analysis could never be, and Mr. Miller is a pretty good writer. It is not so much in Mr. Miller's first- hand observations that the strength of his essay lies. As a reporter he is occasionally inaccurate and as an interviewer he some- times puts more of himself within the quo- tation marks than he does of the inter- viewee. Paradoxically, it is when he is try- ing his hardest to avoid being definitive and when he is letting his perception direct his old grad love of the place that he reaches his most penetrating conclusions. "There is a cloud over the whole place which is hard to define," he says, and goes on to make the cloud less foggy than any- one has yet done. He reticently avoids the cliche interpretations. Apathy, he finds, was the blanket diagnosis as often in his day, '34 to '38, as it is now. Nor can the familiar technology vs. "culture" dicho-, tomy be applied towards a meaningful conclusion. The enormous growth of the theater, the frequent art showings, con- certs and film presentations are "proof that a number of people in Ann Arbor are looking for more than technology and are eager to feed their souls-a fact some- times doubted by many in and out of the University." The explanation Mr. Miller does offer be- gins with his reminiscence that "there is less loitering around the lamppost than there used to be" and summarizes itself in his epithets: the University has become "pur- poseful in the narrow sense of the trade school" and has developed "a kind of prag- matism that threatens to create a race of salesmen in the tawdry sense of that word." Only once does he mention the term which is implicated as a cause throughout the study-"public relations." Perhaps this was wise. The immediate connotation of the term-what state university must employ to get state legislature to come through with funds-is a little too pat for Mr. Miller's purposes. What he is getting at is the "deep- er, less-noticed frame of mind" which re- sults in both an administration and student body of follow-the-line pragmatists whose central fear is the inability to put them- selves over. Perhaps Mr. Miller was over-eager to apply his salesman theme to another seg- ment of the population, but at any rate he came to the right place-the applica- tion fits. In a situation where everything that is done around here must be done in terms of "a service to the University," Mr. Miller has done us the rare service of loving the place enought to penetrate its defects. We thank you, Mr. Miller. The Pledging System NOW THAT the pledge cards are all in and the initiation pranks have begun, it is worth reviewing the basic pledging sys- tem. Following the bewildering new situations that the freshman copes with during his first week, notices from the fraternities about the forthcoming rushing season are posted. During the first week of school, fra- ternity registration is opened, and the In- terfraternity Council sponsors a mass "Rush Meeting" for all prospective rushees. The following two weeks are completely taken up with the various open houses, smokers, lunches and dinners. Within this hectic peroid, the rushee is to pick out, a fraternity. Two weeks after this, the op- en rush begins, as do the pledge class sessions. By living and breathing fraternity the first months of his school life, the student. cannot see what life without fraternity is like. He eventually gets to know the men on his floor or corridor, but it is doubtful whe- ther he ever sets to know the rest of the house. The dinners at the fraternity, the work sessions and the pledge class meet- ings take away a good part of his spare time. When his house is sponsoring a dance, there is also one at the fraternity; if his house is participating in some sports acti- vity, he is on the fraternity team; as for working on the house homecoming display, no, fraternities have the pledges working on theirs. This is not to knock fraternity life, which is indispensable for the large campus. But the initial pledge tactics are questionable. What the freshman discovers about life at the big university is not through his own eyes but through those of the fraternity. There is a very simple solution that would promote undergraduate and es- pecially freshman solidarity, offering greater social opportunities to students who do not pledge a fraternity in their first month. This would be the postpone- ment of freshman rushing until the sopho- more year. First the burden is lessened for everyone concerned during the first few weeks of school. Secondly, no wrong-foot approach to studies can ensue if no time is taken up by rushing. Thirdly, the new student can become acquainted with the others in his house while at the same time becoming slowly acquainted with fraternity life as he sees it from the spectator's side. He can leisurely visit the various fra- ternities, thereby getting to more of them, becoming more acute in his judgment of who his college associates might be, and getting to know the brothers in a more natural way than the present rushing per- iod permits. / Thus by deferring the rushing period un- til the sophomore year or at least until the second semester, the freshman, as part of a solid freshman class and not as a frater- nity pledge attending college, will be able to see what "life at Michigan" really is. -Harry Strauss DREW PEARSON: Washington Merry-Go-Round WASHINGTON -U.S. Ambassador Chip " Bohlen, considered one of the most as- tute observers in Russia, has been sending some highly significant reports to Wash- ington. If true, they are more important than what's doing on the farm front, the business front, or the political front here at home. It is Bohlen's view that Premier Mal- enkov has not yet stabilized his position inside Russia, that he's worried over un- rest among the'Russian people, and that another purge is in the works, possibly against the No. 2 man in the onetime Rus- sian triumvirate, Foreign Minister and Vice-Premier Molotov. Malenkov is reported worried over Mar- shal Beria's rabid supporters, some of whom are still lurking in Russia. He is also eas- ing up the Kremlin's foot on the neck of the farmers and letting the people have more consumers goods-all a sign of weakness. As a result, Bohlen has recommended an extremely important policy change by the Eisenhower administration. He advises that this is the time to press our advantage with I Russia. GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE reports con- cur with Bohlen that the Kremlin to- day is preoccupied with unrest inside its own borders, with holding the satellite coun- tries in line, and in raising the living stan- dards of the Russian people. Furthermore it's highly doubtful Russia would start any- thing until her stockpile of atom bombs is larger. All this is why Ambassador Bohlen believes that now is the time to press Moscow for political advantage. Later it will be too late. All this highlights one of the greatest failures of the Eisenhower administra- tioi-failure to formulate a constructive, aggressive policy to put Russia on the de- fensive and if possible end the cold war. Never has a recent President had such opportunities. First opportunity was Stalin's death-bringing the long-awaited moment when Allied diplomats said Communism might be shaken to its foundation. That it was shaken was indicated by the second opportunity-the purging of secret' police chief Beria-another piece of Eisenhower luck. Yet not one important move has been made to take advantage of that luck. Eisenhower was elected during a cam- paign in which over and over again he proposed to push propaganda behind the Iron Curtain, to take the offensive in the cold war, to, press the drive for peace. John Foster Dulles, making the same pledge, spelled it out in great detail, told how the Eisenhower administration would encourage "quiet revolution" behind the Iron Curtain. But when the big opportunities came in Russia they were fumbled. Exiled leaders from the satellite countries urged the Presi- dent to call for free elections in Hungary, Rumania, Poland, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia. Under the Yalta Pact we could demand free elections. But no demand was made. The one move made by the White House in this direction was highly successful-- food to East Germans. But the next move fizzled, thanks to White House inertia and carelessness. The- State Department conceived the idea of sending old clothes to East Germans as a direct gift from the American people. To spark this 'drive, Chancellor Adenauer was asked to send a letter to President Eisen- hower reminding the American people that German winters are cold and asking if Am- ericans could undertake to collect old clothes. DEAD DEAL ADENAUER dutifully sent the letter. It was received by the State Department and relayed to Eisenhower, then relaxing in Denver. There the letter also relaxed. It collected dust in Denver for three weeks, lost in the shuffle. When discovered, it was so late that State Department officials were ashamed to tell the German Chancellor about the delay. Finally, after a feeble White House an- nouncement, the clothes drive for East Germans was allowed to die. Various proposals to take advantage of unrest behind the Iron Curtain have been discussed at lower levels. But when they get to top levels, nothing happens. The chill hand of inaction grasps them. They never see the light of day. This writer has worked with Harold Stassen, now in the Eisenhower official family, and with C.D. Jackson, now Eis- enhower's top psychological expert, on the German border, sending propaganda bal- loons and freedom messages to Czecho- slovakia-a move which electrified the Czech people. The men around Eisenhow- er are sold on the strategy of penetrating the Iron Curtain. They really meant it when they wrote speeches for Eisenhow- er's campaign a year ago. But they have been unable to secure action at the top. Meanwhile the unrest that is so evident in the satellite countries cannot continue indefinitely. Meanwhile the lucky breaks of Stalin's death and Beria's purge are not likely to recur. Meanwhile the Reds keep on harassing us in Korea, in Indo-China and the Far East, but we do little to harass them J r d.Jl llt lv. -7 ",-v lcl l M - s adeQ 1n . eu.y ,'u~,ll4. 111 vember 10, 1953, "How-Not What proposals Miss Myers had refer- Saint- Saens, Touremire, Langlais, --To Teach," attacking the pro- ence to were part of a progress re- without charge. posed ideas towards improvements port by a Sub-Committee of the in curriculum requirements for State Advisory Committee.

But they will not settle the old Koreas either." This about sums up the conclusions reached by Secre- tary of State John Foster Dulles and other leading policy advisers of President Eisen- hower, after a long, careful analysis of So- viet intentions. These conclusions are, naturally, based in large part on the brilliant reports which Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen has been sending from Moscow. They are neces- sarily tentative, since it is foolish to the point of insanity to make categorical pre- dictions about the Kremlin's future course. Even so, the belief that the new regime in the Kremlin is not going to start any- thing new in the immediate future, and is not going to settle anything old, is be- coming a rather firm conviction in the highest official circles. This belief reflects a certain measure of disillusionment. The illusion, it must be said, was never very strong. But it is at least true that Secretary Dulles and other policy makers did believe a few months ago that the Kremlin might actually' welcome at least temporary and peripheral settlement of outstanding areas of conflict. Dulles is known to have believed, for ex- ample, that there was at least an outside chance for an agreed settlement in Korea. Contrary to some reports, he never favored a "neutralized" Korea, if that word is taken to mean that South Korea should be totally disarmed. But he did think it conceivable that the Russians and the Chinese might agree to a unified Korea, on certain condi- lin regime might actually desire settlemens in Europe-in Austria, for example-has al- so been killed, by the tone of the Soviet res- ponse to the western notes on a four-power meeting. In short, it is now believed that the Krem- lin not only does not want to negotiate set- lements-it does not even want to talk about negotiating settlements. On the other hand, it is also believed that the Kremlin does not want to run the risk of world war implicit in such actions as the original Korean ag- gression. The Kremlin, it is believed, has a whole series of internal problems which must first be settled, before great risks can be taken. The question of the succession to Stalin has, to be sure, apparently already been decided in favor of Malenkov. The expectation of an "upheaval in the Krem- lin," following on Stalin's death, which once played so large a part in American policy, no longer does so. Yet, although the permanency of Malenkov seems to be established, a delicate, difficult, and dan- gerous process of filling the power vacuum left by Stalin's death and the purge of Beria is undoubtedly still going on in Moscow. There are pther internal problems which are certainly occupying the Kremlin's attention. Perhaps the most serious-al- though it receives little attention except from the small band of Soviet experts-is the ancient peasant problem. The Malenkov regime must also re- habilitate the internal police apparatus, disorganized by the Beria purge. And a new policy for the satellites, whose total unreliahility was fully demonstrated in 1' I i vi sf C i t I again from that same page, "the whether or not they will be wel-t children attending school in 1948 comed. were clearly superior to those in --Sue Messing C the same grade seventeen years earlier."
