EDITOR'S NOTE:
Reply to SEC Critics

The Year
In Films

By HARRY LUNN
Daily Managing Editor
AS THE Student Affairs Study Committee
moves into the crucial area of functions
and powers of the proposed Student Execu-
tive Committee, it finds itself a focal point
of attack from Student Legislature candi-
dates and students who view the reorganized
structure now under consideration as a
threat to student government and freedom.
Unfortunately, the proposed SEC is be-
coming more and more misunderstood and
its potential as an effective and enlight-
ened form of student government is being
lost sight of. When originally suggested,
SEC was seen as a workable body which re-
cognized long-standing campus political
jurisdictions and could become a powerful
organ of student opinion if the review
board did not dominate it.
It is on this point that debate and dis-
agreement has arisen. Although it was un-
derstood after conferences with President
Hatcher tha SEC would receive recogni-
tion as the student government and would
be respected and listened to by the admin-
istration, many students are fearful that in
practice the committee would have little
more success than has Student Legislature.
They reason that SL has been continually re-
buffed by the administration on grounds of
its un-representativeness when in realitry
this argument has been used to put down
recommendations embarrassing to the ad-
ministration.
Certainly there seems to be justification
to this point, and there is no guarantee
that SEC will fare better. When SL's re-
cent progress is considered, however, it can

The Mott Foundation Lectures, by Bar-
bara Ward Jackson. Printed by the Uni-
versity of Michigan Press.
By ANNE STEVENSON
IT IS DIFFICULT to assess objectively
opinions wit hwhich one is in complete
agreement, and a natural reaction is to guard
a profound and respectful silence. However,
laudatory banalities, ever} though they seem
to ring hollow, do serve a purpose; someone
may be induced to probe their cause. There-
fore, although it is a gross understatement
to characterize the Mott Foundation Lectures
delivered last March by Barbara Ward Jack-
son as masterpieces of prose, thought and
understanding, such feeble propaganda is,
I think, justified, and it is to be hoped that
people will respond by buying and reading
the lectures themselves. This has fortunately
been made possible by the University of
Michigan Press. It is a pleasure to announce
that copies of Mrs. Jackson's two lectures
are now available in book form (paper
bound editions priced at $1.25, cloth ones at
$3.00) at the University Press and may be
had on application to its director, Mr. Frank
E. Robbins.
The lectures must be considered as a
unity, divided for convenience into two
parts. The first one, entitled "Are To-
day's Basic Problems Religious?" is in es-
sence a very broad, comprehensive history
of religion, tracing the basic concepts com-
mon to them all from their almost simul-
taneous emergence in the fourth and
third millenia B.C. down to the present
time. Greatly oversimplified, Mrs. Jack-
son's thesis is this: of all religions, Christ-
ianity, in canalizing the confluent streams
of Judaic and Greek thought, was the on-
ly primary mystic faith to recognize both
spiritual and material aspects of God's
world and of a free mankind inhabiting
it. All other beliefs preached, and in-
deed still do preach, renunciation of tran-
sient, illusory matter in order to achieve
the transcendental and absolute Reality
of the spirit.
In the Middle Ages the Christian philo-
sophers attempted to synthesize matter and

spirit in a unique and unprecedented way.
The attempt failed, howev'er, because their
methods were frequently grounded in sci-
entific inexactitudes and because the ener-
gies, or what Mrs. Jackson so aptly calls the
"vitalities" of the human spirit refused to
live longer under the cloak of superstition
and ignorance in which scholasticism threat-
ened permanently to envelop them.
The rise of nationalism and capitalism to-
gether with the discovery of scientific ex-
planations of natural phenomena tipped the
balance in favor of materialism in the 17th

be argued that little can be accomplished
with student government as now consti-
'tuted. Rather a new group, such as SEC,
would be in a better position because it
would have greater bargaining power with
the administration. Should SEC contin-
ually fail as an effectual student govern-
ment because of administration disregard
it could be concluded only that no student
government can succeed. At the moment
SL is far from successful and has limited
chance for success. Merely criticizing SEC
and the group studying it will neither im-
prove SL or help establish effective student
government.
It is true that the study has not pro-
ceeded as well as some people originally
hoped, but a good share of the trouble has
arisen from the extremely critical attitude
adopted by a number of SL members at the
outset. While the group understandably does
not want to dig its own grave or contribute
to the fall of student government, it is not
working effectually with its present attitude.
The initial mistake occured when SL went
ahead with several important motions con-
cerning the study group without bothering
to make the polite gesture of consulting with
the group's chairman. And once the Legis-
lature had placed itself in this position, it
lost valuable ground. This is not to say that
SL should silence itself on the study, but
there are many ways of getting action and
the motions were not the right one.
Net result of the haggling 'over SEC is
that the whole study is being placed in
jeopardy and the chances for a successful
and much needed reorganization are being
ruined.
)KS +
and 18th centuries. The result is that today
we are faced with the spectacle of a cha-
otic, nearly purposeless world and an un-
focused set of human values. The distorted
extreme of scientific materialism is, of
course, Communism.
In her second lecture, "Moral Order in
an Uncertain World," Mrs. Jackson in ef-
fet answers the question posed by the first.
Most of us will admit that religion is in many
ways useful, that it conveniently galvanizes
extraneous human "vitalities" which other-
wise might be turned to the working of the
world's doom. The fundamental question,
however, is not "whether or not religion is
convenient or inconvenient, not whether
it has this or that effect, but whether it is
or is not true." And Mrs. Jackson simply
maintains that it is true-that God, in ef-
fect, is an active and indispensable force in
human affairs. Her reasons are not philoso-
phical; she is no metaphysician. Rather, her
arguments are drawn from what she calls
"normal experience." There are human' oc-
currences, facts, if you like, which are
"completely at variance with the philosophy
of materialism." Among these is the prin-
ciple of rationality itself-man's 4bility to
approach and know truth; among these is
an intrinsic quality of "goodness," a "good-
ness" which we discover irregardless of ma-
terialistic motives or consequences. Among
these also is a concept of absolute moral
wrong. It is wrong, unforgivably wrong, to
misrepresent the truth, to perpetrate mass
slaughter, man against man, to disintegrate
and dissolve the human personality, to man-
ipulate the intricacies of the human mind
and to interfere with the liberty of the hu-
man spirit.
Indeed, there is an absolute wrongness
in all means which the two totalitarian
regimes of the 20th century-regimes
which Mrs. Jackson points out have char-
acterized this century-have found expe-
dient to bring about the contamination of
society and the destruction of everythinC
which is most dear to the human soul.
This wrongness can only be met and over-
come if we who still cling to the belief
that men should and must be free, con-

firm our own moral convictions with a
belief in a fundamental reason for this
freedom. This reason must be in the na-
ture of a Totality which is at the base of
all things and from which all things de-
rive their purpose, their will and their
strength.
This is Mrs. Jackson's position. I do not
see how it can fail to be, at least in its
fundamental precepts, the position of every
thinking man and woman in the Western
World.

AUDREY HEPBURN notwithstanding, the
film year of 1953 was an unexciting one.
No more than a handful of good pictures
emerged from the mills of the movie capital
and the merits of most of these were quali-
fied ones. Extra-esthetic circumstances were,
as usual, largely responsible for this. In ad-
diiton to the burdens of the usual quota of
family scandal, Hollywood in 1953 had to
survive acutely embarrassing financial prob-
lems and the birth pangs of its captious new
baby, 3-D. Most curious strangers found the
infant interesting to look at for a while,
but eventually toleration set in P nd finally
many decided that he was a little too un-
settling for frequent visits. Meanwhile, how-
ever, the proud parent was still bouncing
Junior on his knee and loudly urging patrons
to come and look at all of Baby's latest im-
provements.
On Thursday in Hollywood, an avun-
cular Motion Picture Academy of Arts and
Sciences tried to furnish some consola-
tion to the over-awed by pointing out its
more mature offspring. This was done with
all the usual gala-ness and splendid-ness.
Appearing a little more relaxed before the
television cameras than they had been a
year earlier, the family seemed deter-
mined to make fewer mistakes than they
did in the days Before Cinemascope. Their
efforts were generally successful.
Nobody could quarrel seriously with the
awards to Audrey Hepburn and William Hol-
den. Miss Hepburn, fresh from a stage tri-
umph in New York, received her statuette for
a fetching personality performance in the
fine comedy, "Roman Holiday." Among the
actors, who had experienced an indifferent
year, Holden too seemed a fair choice for an
award, even in a far-fetched role in a me-
diocre melodrama. Except for Gregory Peck
and occasionally Clark Gable, Holden con-
tinues about the only actor in California
able to suggest any fundamental intelligence
in the character he is portraying.
The best picture, "From Here to Eter-
nity," was selected from a nominated slate
of five, also including "Shane," "Roman
Holiday," "The Robe," and "Julius Cae-
sar." The final choice of Columbia's
adaptation of the Jones novel was not sur-
prising and hardly unwarranted. While the
film did not seem as technically expert as
the movie that its director, Fred Zinne-
man, was honored for in 1952 ("High
Noon"), "Eternity" did manage to pre-
serve a tone that gave it integrity, if lit-
tle of the rough color of the novel. By
"slickening" the book, the film achieved a
truer focus. It wrapped up the issues bet-
ter, used its climax with clearer effect and
made the naivete of the characters honest-
ly pathetic in the film where it had been
often merely annoying in the novel.
"Shane," justly well regarded, was an
imaginatively photographed and frankly ro-
mantic Western by Producer-Director George
Stevens who was honored at the ceremonies
with the Thalberg Award for "consistently
high quality of production." Like his "A
Place in the Sun," possibly the finest Ameri-
can picture since the war, "Shane" again
demonstrated Stevens' perfect timing and
sensitive composition. Equally successful as
a romance was Wyler's "Roman Holiday,"
the story of the princess and the commoner,
which introduced Miss Hepburn
Why the drums for "Julius Caesar" have
beaten so loud is a little harder to figure.
This film, which local audiences will see
shortly, is a barely adequate adaptation, gen-
erally predictable and uninspired--and with
at least two distinctly clashing styles of act-
ing. The fifth nominee, "The Robe," sneaked
in as Baby's photograph-especially when he
looks so solemn and innocent-inevitably
will.
A few generally overlooked films which de-
serve some mention in the year's inventory
(at least they would be in my list) include
"The Juggler," the vigorous Israel-set Kirk
Douglas vehicle; "Lili," the offbeat carnival
fairy tale; "Titanic," for unsung technical
excellence; "War of the Worlds," for "spe-
cial effects;" and "Bandwagon," probably
the year's best musical. Dregs of last year's
better crop of films also kept seeping into
town until late summer. These included

"Limelight," "Member of the Wedding,"
"Cry the Beloved Country," and "Come Back,
Little Sheba."
British films, with the possible excep-
tion of "The Cruel Sea," achieved no great
new distinctions. Foreign language com-
panies turned out some fine pictures again,
but most of them went unseen by Ann Ar-
bor audiences. Another year went by with-
out "Forbidden Games," a real classic,
reaching local marquees. Likewise "Two
Cents Worth of Hope." Since September,
only six foreign pictures have been shown
commercially here (all at the Orpheum
since the Cinema Guild has foresworn any
interest in the non-English movie). This
would not be so bad if the six had been
better selected. Two of them which I saw,
however, were pretentious tear-jerkers;
three others received indifferent reac-
tions from reviewers here, and the last
("The Little World of Don Camillo")
ducked in and out between semesters.
Studying Orpheum billboards today, one
does not see much indication of any more
foreign films coming in the near future.
So, in general, it looks as if we are stuck
with Baby. Although there have been some
fair 2-D films around in the last month or
two, it still looks like the best hope is prob-
ably to wait for Cinemascope and siblings to
grow up some.

A NATIONAL ISSUE found local interpretation this week. Green
feathers flooded the campus as an anti-McCarthyism emblem.
Following an unorganized beginning by a few ambitious "Merry Men,"
the drive reached a peak Tuesday when four thousand feathers and
buttons were handed out on the Diag. To add to the excitement, the
green feathers found competition from 'red herrings' handed out by
students who "did not approve the method" of fighting McCarthyism
with feathers,
The hand of authority almost prevented green feathers from dis-
tribution at all, however. The night before the campaign, Student.
Activities Committee members pointed to a University rule that says
drives and booths must be sponsored by approved student organiza-
tions. The maze of confusion was finally cleared when a voice vote'
of SAC members allowed SL to sponsor the booth only on the condi-
tion that it was clear to everyone that the legislature was not taking;
an "ani-McCarthy" stand.
* *.* * * '
IN THE FINAL pre-election SL meeting, members voted to set up a
nine-man committee to study "business discrimination against
students." In addition to five SL appointed student members, two
businessmen, one University administration representative and one
Ann Arbor Civic Forum member will compose the group.
ON THE housing scene, fraternity stewards discussed a plan to es-
tablish a price listing office and cooperative buying to reduce food
costs. At the same time Inter-House Council initiated a new project
of giving information on career opportunities to Quad dwellers.

AS A RESULT of last week's incident involving an Alumni meeting
in Detroit in quarters where a Negro could not enter, Senior Board
this week made a motion in reference to student speakers at alumni
gatherings: No eligible University student will be prohibited from
speaking because of race, color or religious belief.
A MOCK SESSION of the United Nations Assembly scheduled to take
place here yesterday under the sponsorship of the National Stu-
dent Association was suddenly cancelled when the keynote speaker,
Prof. Max Mark of Wayne University, denied he was to address the
conference.
* * * *
SEVEN FUNCTIONS of a proposed Student Executive Committee
were outlined by Student Affairs Study Committee members as it
proceeded in its work toward a reorganized campus government.
Included in the proposed jurisdiction of the SEC would be, 1)
rules of recognition of new and reactivated student organizations,
2) approval or denial of approval for student-sponsored activities, 3.)
coordination and delegation of student activities, 4) origination of
student projects, 5) express and provide orderly means for expression
of student opinion, 6) to serve as appointing body for selection of stu-
dent representatives to joint student-faculty groups, and 7) to make
rules governing eligibility of students in extra-curricular acivities.

Chief point in the Regents' pol-
icy statement was the provision
that "timely and rational discus-
sion of topics" would be encour-j
aged "under guarantee that . . .
there shall be no violation of the
recognized rules of hospitality and
no advocacy of the subversion of
the government of the United
States . .."
* * *
FROM 1935 to 1947 the com-
mittee issued no bans and made
no policy statements, but in De-
cember of the latter year, it set
a precedent of banning openly
avowed Communists from talking
on campus. Two bannings in 1948
and one in 1950 reinforced this
policy,
For a brief 10 month period
at the time of the 1948 elections
the Regents added a by-law pro-
vision that "speeches in support
of particular candidates of any
political party or faction shall
not be permitted."
The short-lived provision was
relaxed after heated campus oppo-
sition arose, and in changing it
the Regents gave the Lecture.
Committee full power to. rule on
speakers.
In the spring of 1952 the com-
mittee widened its conception of

ment left an impression witht
some that the University was
not so much interested in keep-
ing students from hearing ban-
ned speakers as with preventing
publicity connecting their ap-
pearance in any way with the
campus.
Although meetings can be held
in private -halls or auditoriums,
these sites sometimes are hard to
obtain or inconveniently located.
Thus, it is often charged, students
are kept from reaching the educa-
tional ideal of free inquiry into
all subjects at the University. Sig-
nificantly, there have been no ef-
forts to gain approval for "con-
troversial" speakers in the last
year, although several speakers.
have been heard in private off-
campus meetings.
In a 1952 all-campus referendum
students recorded a two-to-one
disapproval of the committee.,
Twenty-seven faculty members
protested its existence on a peti-
tion made public in April, 1952,
and the literary college faculty
went on record against the lec-
ture group that summer.

PR A CHANGE, this week's Cinemascope'

proach to an unsophisticated plot. There is
no pretentions at character development or
subtle interplay of dialogue just honest ster-
eotypes-really a breath of fresh air in
this age of complexities.
Starting off at a rapid pace that con-
tinues to the end, the story is built around

form of the soldier's rich father blows into
town full of gas and money and hoping to
end the case by sheer weight of influence. His
presence is easily handled by "old pro" Peck,
but a more dangerous opponent raises its
head-Frau Hoffmeyer, a rather shop-worn
version of Mata Hari. She arranges the re-
turn of the soldier in exchange for two Ger-
man civilians wanted by the Russians for
unspecified crimes. All is agreed to by the
blunt Colonel. At the last moment, however,
the Frau turns out to be a Soviet agent.
This new twist forces the Colonel to use
