PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1953 { I .t Y By HARRY LUNN Daily Managing Editor REMOVAL OF fraternity discrimination based on race, color or creed has made considerable progress throughout the col- legiate world as more and more under- graduate and alumni fraternity members have realized such discrimination is not one of the fraternity ideals which deserves support. However, there is still a powerful group within the fraternity world which believes the discrimination problem should be covered up and the objectionable clauses retained. The later feeling takes form in re- marks such as this one printed in a na- tiolal fraternity magazine: "Those who are carrying the torch in the fight against 'discrimination' are not friends of the fraternity "system. They seek, not its re- form, but its dissolution." The statement was part of a long article by the execu- tive secretary of a national fraternity which has had a bias clause since its in- ception. By equating the people who de- sire clause removal with a mythical group interested in dissolution of the fraternity system, the secretary set up his whole argument-the solution being: fight the reformers because they want to destroy your fraternities. Paradoxically, one of the chief argu- ments against discrimination, apart from Its inherent undesirability, is that it con- stitutes one of the greatest weaknesses in the fraternity system today, and by solving the problem, fraternities will remove one of their largest imperfections. Locally, progress of the anti-discrimina- tion movement has been erratic. History onl the question may be roughly divided into two phases: attempts at gaining a time limit or similar compulsive force for clause removal and attempts to have the individual fraternities with clauses work to remove them. After the Ruthven and Hatcher ve- toes of the Student Legislature sponsored anti-bias bills, the so-called "Acacia Plan" which became the genesis for the Big Ten Counseling and Information Service was passed by the Interfraternity Council. The purely voluntary service has been used with some success by several frater- nities. As an effective means of helping to remove clauses it has the limitations of any voluntary plan. However, during its two-year history, the plan has not al- ways been given a chance to work. When first passed, it was considered more a de- vice to ward off SL activity than a sincere policy stand. After complaints arose over the plan's original administration, the IFC staff managed to send out several ques. tionnaires for houses. Unfortunately the IFC officers have usual- ly interpreted the voluntary provision of the plan in a strict sense, and have not done as much as they could to encourage use of the counseling and information service. The whole attitude is summarized in the latest Use of terminology-the problem is no long- er called the bias claus issue but is now dubbed the "selectivity" problem. (We do not discriminate against any group, we merely have "selectivity" enforced by writ- ten provision.) Since resistance from national fraternity organizations is usually one of the strongest factors working against removal of discrim- inatory clauses, the local effort must be of maximum effectiveness if reform is to be achieved. Thus it becomes vital that the counseling service be fully utilized and be given a chance to operate successfully. Though the preliminary results give encour agement that the service will be used, each house with a clause should respond by par- ticipating in the IFC program or give evi- dence of more effective effort of its own. I C E M At the Orpheum . . A QUEEN IS CROWNED PERHAPS I expected too much from coro- nations, but this picture is anything but stimulating. I felt not one twinge of nostal- gia for the mother-country. As a matter of fact, the whole thing is rather boring. There are a great number of awe-inspir- ing names connected with the film-Chris- topher Fry, Sir Laurence Olivier, and Sir Malcolm Sargent, to say nothing of J. Arthur Rank. Their efforts have for the most part been wasted. The picture opens with brilliant shots of England's green and pleasant land (cer- tainly not taken on June 2, 1953-there was no rain). From this auspicious, po- etry-laden beginning we are taken to the several r-al castles on the islands, and then to f# iadon. The real business begins with a parade to Westminster; then the gruelling ordeal of seeing a young woman put to all sorts of torture, cloth-of-gold robes and such, which lasted approximate- ly forty-five minutes. Then another pa- rade, this one much too' long to enjoy. Then balcony-waving. It is very touching to see a whole empire full of people happy because they have a new quien. It is rather amazing (even for an American) to estimate how much this must have cost. But these are not elements to make a good documentary. "A Queen Is Crowned" would not even be good in a news- + BOOKS + t DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN l1 ~I i PRIVATE VIEW by Walter de la Mare Faber and Faber Ltd., London By ANNE STEVENSON THERE is a tradition in western poetry ex- tending from the early classic lyrics al- most uninterruptedly to the present day which has survived with comparatively lit- tle upheaval the turbulences characteristic of each successive era. While major poets have wrestled with the current of the stream, struggling violently against the eddies of corruption and mingling with the very ele- ments of change, the gentler border waters of what, for lack of a better name, must be called lyricism, have flown unobtrusively along beside them, attracting no more at- tention than that which the more discern- ing members of a busy population have found time to bestow. In such a tradition belongs Walter de la Mare. His reputation as a poet has long been established, although he is better know in England than in America. Having survived two world wars, lived -a substantial portion of his life in two centuries, and seen revolu- tions in science perhaps only comparable to those which have occurred in the ladies' clothing industries, he has achieved a degree of depth and richness which a life of such duration must necessarily give to a sen- sitive and observent mind. In Mr. de la Mare's recently published Private View, he has fortunately offered us an example of this special ripe fruit of wisdom accumulated over fifty years of existence in a world not always his equal in perspicasity. He writes of poets, novelists and gen- eralities with a beauty df language which, even were he not concerned with essential matters, would make the reading of his book a pleasure. His prose exhibits a felic- ity of assurance, rare among poets, which enables him to express his meaning both explicitly and with the more subtle in- nuendos of cadence and vocabulary which imply sentiments impossible to analyse more directly. Furthermore, because he is writing in his own way about his own impressions, conclusions are never forced upon the reader, nor does he expect them to exert a profound influence on the, con- temporary literary world. When writing of Donne, of Hardy, of Ten- nyson or of the Gorgian poets, he assumes he is writing, as they do, for the purpose of delighting his readers, and if, in this respect, he seems to lack-profundity it is only because he refuses to treat his public as a congrega- tion and prefers to share his feelings rather than teach them. Of the essays included in the volume, a third of them are devoted to novelists, a third to poets, and a third to more generaliz- ed comments on life and literature. Every-! thing Mr. de la Mare has to say concerning Henry James and Tchekov is particularly good; among the poets, Robert Bridges and Thomas Hardy receive special attention; Since the poetry of both Bridges and Hardy is little known in America, such an atten- tion is especially valuable to us. More than, anything, however, Private View is an ex- planation of an attitude which the author makes a corollary to everything he writes, and this attitude is his own towards poetry. Mr. de la Mare serves to remind us that poetry springs not from the dogmas of schools, nor from the notebooks of schol- arly partakers of antiquity, but from an ineluctable cast of temperament which sustains and is sustained by particular imaginations in all eras. Such tempera- ments preserve, either unwittingly as is the case with Herrick and Bridges, or with all the bombast and prophetic counsel of a Milton or an Eliot, the moments in men's experience which transcend the circum- stantial, the contingent and the contra- versial. Although in the particulars with which they are concerned poets must nec- essarily differ, and although the age which gives them birth must inevitably stamp their work, the essential and ultimate po- etic impulse, that which caused poetry to be, which gave men, almost from the mo- ment of their existence, a language with which to break the bondages imposed by themselves on themselves, remains un- changed.j This Mr. de la Mare has understood to per- fection. Free of the shackels of convention, consummately true to himself, his opinions, as they appear in the frame of his wide, all be it, private view, suddenly are recognized with surprise as the view which many of us, looking through our own windows, have un- knowingly and not nearly so explicitly, shared with him.j i it The Week on Campus !' RED AND GREEN Christmas decorations around the town added to the slow-to- get underway Noel spirit as students went into a week of mid-semester exams and term papers. . . . DISCRIMINATION ISSUE-Student Leg- islature entered a dilly-dally session on the problem of setting up a discrimination board. After Legislature member Paul Dor- mont's expose of discrimination in the Chamber of -Commerce, the Human Rela- tions Committee recommended a change in the composition of the board slated to dis- cuss the problem with local shopkeepers: This change would add one Junior Chamber of Commerce member and one Civic Forum representative to the Ifresent five-member board consisting of a Senior Chamber of Commerce member, an administration rep- resentative and three SL members. Dormont advocated getting rid of the ad- ministration representative and the Senior chamber of Commerce member, because they had shown discriminatory tendencies in past actions. But the Legislature put off acting on the proposals and referred the issue to commit- tee. This leads to three possible conclusions: 1) Either SL members haven't taken time to get acquainted with the discrimination issue, even though it has been bantered around since last spring. 2) They are procrastinating and do not wish to take a stand on the proposals. 3) SL members feel they must have more time to check into the Dormont's report, which some Legislators consider not so well- documented as it may appear. * * * * ATOMIC OPENING-The Union Opera maintained its status as the campus show when it rocked Ann Arbor in a presentation of fission adequately mixed in with the Ten- nessee hill country. CLARDY COMMITTEE SUPOENA-First break in the January hearings came earlier this week when State LYL chairman Balza' Baxter revealed he received a supoena from the House Un-American Activities Commit- tee to hold hearings beginning Jan. 25 in De- troit. According to the LYL release concerning his supboena, Baxter was ordered to turn over the names of all Michigan Labor Youth League members. Later in the week, Baxter indicated he would refuse to do this. CITY REPORTS ON DRIVING BAN-In a television interview, City Council Chair- 4man George W. Sallade declared that the Council is opposed to the removal of the present University driving ban. He cited the very relevant argument that lifting of the ban would increase parking and traffic problems in Ann Arbor. VENDORS AND FOOD POISONING - Two acute cases of food poisoning cropped up this week. They were apparently caused by food peddled by unlicensed night sand- wich vendors. City Public Health Engineer Joseph Price cautioned students to ask for the vendor's license before buying their products. --Becky Conrad The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of the University of Michigan for which the Michigan Daily assumes no editorial responsi- bility.

ON THE Washington Merry-o-Round with DREW PEARSON Public Service To the Editor: MR . EBERHARD, in his article on the proposed revision of the GI Bill-a reversion to the ar- rangement of the WW II plan-, overlooks two important consid- erations and, in its emphasis, mis- construes the purport of the pro- posed revision regarding these two matters. As Mr. Eberhard judiciously points out, the chief criterion in evaluating any GI "rights" must be benefit to the veteran. On this basis, the provisions of the 550 act are far inferior to those grant- ed the WW II veteran. In the face of considerable advances in the cost of living and of spectacular increases in tuition fees through- out the nation (almost 100 per cent for out-of-state U. of M. stu- dents since 1946), the total allot- ment under 550 is substantially less than it was under P.L. 16. I be- lieve it is one of the prime inten- tions of Rep. Springer's proposal at least partially to mitigate the in- justice (unless one presume Korea vets less worthy than those of WW II} of this double deprecia- tion in allowances. Aside from this, the scheme of allotting tuitions and fees sepa- rately from living expenses has the advantage - to the veteran -- of not coercing him into a choice of schools largely on grounds of tuition economies. The present arrangement makes en- t elr%" i elnl oot a n faulty as that their administra- tion was sloppy. This may have been largely the result of an enor- mous mushrooming of an entirely new program. Now that it is some- what contracted, and the admin- istrative set-up more fully devel- oped and its personnel more ex- perienced, it should be possible to maintain an adequate and equit- ible program economically. M. W. Roemer Train Fair? . . To The Editor: 'M NOT TOO GOOD at math (may be) some Engineers who have slide rules can help me out. I took a train holmne Thanksgiving. My one way ticket to Rochester, New York, cost me $14.13. In Rochester at the depot ticket of- fice I bought a round trip ticket back to Ann Arbor for $24.00. When I returned to Ann Arbor and read the posters about the Vulcansdand their "Special Re- duced Round Trip Rates" I be- came puzzled, for in Rochester I had paid $24.00 for my round trip ticket which was exactly the same price quoted by the Vulcans as their "Special Reduced Round Trip Rates." I called up the New York Central depot in Ann Arbor to ask about their "Regular Round Trip Fare." When they quoted me a price of $28.27, the same price quoted by the Vulcans, I then asked about the one way fare. It was still $14.13.
