PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGA'N' DAILY SUNDAY, MAY 2, 1954 1'AG FOR TH MIHIGA DALY SNDA, MA 2,195 League House Discrimination: A University Responsibility DEAN OF WOMEN Deborah Bacon seemed to voice a rather glaring contradiction in her comments concerning the recently- bared discrimination practiced in League Houses. In one section of her interview, Miss Bacon sounded like a Southern Senator ex- pounding the sanctity of the Sacred Ameri- can Home, and protecting it against Com- munists, radicals, and atheists. "Any person in the United States or in the Western World," she proclaims, "if it is their own home, has the right to deter- mine what actions and what standards will be acceptable in their own home." Later on in the Daily article, however, Miss Bacon is quoted as saying "As far as discrimination goes, the University doesn't like it and I personally don't like it." A noble sentiment indeed, but hardly reconcilable with University inaction and vacillation in regard to the entire problem of discrimina- tion in Ann Arbor. The hesitancy, and seeming unwillingness, of the Administration to follow an active anti-discrimination policy is appallingly evi- dent in the current League House disclosures, but is by no means limited to them. In the recent past, one remembers University pol- icy (or rather lack of policy, which is equal- ly reprehensible) toward fraternity bias clauses, union hiring discrimination, the Alumni dinner fiasco, etc. In answering charges of allowing dis- crimination in some of these instances, the University could feebly defend itself by claiming that it had no jurisdiction. At Hill Auditorium... The Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Or- mandy, Conductor; The Festival Youth Chorus, Marguerite Hood, Conductor; Ja- cob Krachmalnick, violinist; Lorne Mun- roe, violoncellist; Compositions of Johan- nes Brahms SATURDAY afternoon's concert of the May Festival never lost its interest despite the fact that it featured works of only one composer. The opening work, Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Op. 56a, shows the composer's mastery of this form even though it was his first large scale attempt in this form. Mr. Ormandy's performance of the work was well calculated and a brilliant success for both him and the orchestra. Miss Hood and the Festival Youth Chorus performed Eleven Songs arranged for chorus by Robert Schumann, a con- temporary and close friend of Brahms. The chorus sang exceptionally well. Their words were clearly understood, and their ensemble on two, three, and four parts very Sensitively balanced. Despite the difficulty of many of the songs, very few intonation errors occurred. For their encore they sang Sleep, Baby, Sleep... The "Double Concerto" is an extremely ex- hausting work, both for the audience and performers. Unless the concerto has the most technically stable performers the work becomes very taxing. The first movement lacked the necessary stability, but this was not the fault of the performers. The last two movements were a brilliant success, the second with the arching melodies beauti- fully realized by the ensemble and the last featuring exciting spirited rhythmic motifs well projected by orchestra and soloists alike. Mr. Krachmalnick was exceptionally brilliant, playing with the sensitivity of a truly great artist. Mr. Munroe failed to be consistent in the flexibility of his phrases, and his intonation at times faltered, but the warmth of his tone and facility over- rode the faults. The final selection was a spirited perform- ance of the "Academic Festival" overture. Again the orchestra and Mr. Ormandy gave a beautifully flexible performance. -Fred Coulter In the League House disgrace, it can make no such claim. The League Houses are directly dependent upon the University (more specifically, the Dean of Women) for official University ap- proval. If they fail to get this approval, Uni- versity women students can't live there, and the House owners face the possibility of complete loss of income. In other words, for all intents and purposes. League House Land- lords are financially dependent on the Uni- versity. The solution seems almost too obvious to be stated. The Dean of Women can with- hold official approval of Houses that prac- tice discrimination. "Those that do" (dis- criminate, that is) will be hit where it hurts most: the pocket-book! It cannot be charged that this policy would be coercive. The University would be merely exercising its discretion in is- suing approval of Women's Residences. The insertion of an anti-discrimination clause In the criteria presently used to determine the fitness of a residence hall is a logical and necessary step in the com- plete removal of discrimination in Ann Ar- bor. Surely no one in an enlightened academic community can condone the tacit approval currently given the Administration to land- lords who practice discrimination. If Dean Bacon is really sincere in saying that the University and she personally are opposed to discrimination, she would use her influence to institute the aforementioned policy. -Art Cornfeld sic + PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA, Eugene Ormandy, Conductor. Zinka Milanov, Soprano; Kurt Baum, Tenor. HE CONCERT presented last night was a potpourri of operatic excerpts, a suite of Armenian folk tunes, and one of the most significant and exciting of contemporary works. The latter was the Concert Music for Strings and Brasses by Paul Hindemith- typically Hindemithian in its solid-as-arock construction, and marked by distinguished thematic material and stunning orchestra- tion. There is nothing unduly cerebral about this composition; the melodies are ingratia- ting (with a distinctly jazzy flavor at times), and the climaxes sweep one along in exhil- arating fashion. It was played excellently, with the brasses behaving somewhat rauc- ously at times. The soloists for the concert acquitted themselves well in arias by Puccini, Mas- cagni, and Ponchielli, and in duets by Verdi and Mascagni. Miss Milanov Is oft- en thought of as a brilliantly talented but somewhat uneven singer-a contention which was borne out by her performance. Her singing was truly thrilling in full- voiced passages with heavy support from the orchestra, and less satisfactory in the delicate voice line of Puccini's Un Bel Di. However, this was her opening number, and this fact probably accounts for some of her vocal unsteadiness. Kurt Baum was in good voice and he sang with vigor and assurance, in the expected Italianate tra- dition. The duets from Aida and Caval- leria Rusticana were done in good oper- atic style, but they demonstrated the ut- ter futility of attempting to act on a concert stage. The Overture to Wagner's Die Meistersing- er was performed with polish and intensity, but somehow the essence of the work was not quite realized-it was just another bril- liant reading of the piece. The concluding composition was the rmenian Suite by Har- ry Yardumian. It is a pleasant work, and the orchestration is brilliant if too highly trumpeted. Bach's Come Sweet Death was played movingly as an encore. --Dave Tice DREW PEARSON: Washington Merry-Go-Round WASHINGTON-Except for dinners given by President Eisenhower and civil de- fense boss Val Peterson, there was little so- cializing when the governors of the 48 states descended on Washington for their annual three-day conference last week. The governors were given a grim and thorough briefing on such security ques- tions as the danger of all-out war in In- do-China, necessity for integrated civil defense, and the diffusion of war plants, if the nation is attacked from without. However, the state executives enjoyed some lighter moments during their off-the- record meetings, including a story by Cali- fornia's gregarious GOP Governor Goodwin Knight. Discussing the possibility of raising living standards in nations threatened by Communism, Knight remarked: "I am a firm believer in the theory that an extra bowl of rice is often a deterrent to Communism. But I think we also should see to it that countries on both sides of the iron and bamboo curtains are well indoctrinated with the story about the East Berlin dog who paid a visit to West Berlin. "West Berlin dogs asked him about ca- nine conditions in the Soviet Zone and he began to brag at great length about how the Russians provided heated kennels and hamburgers three times a day. "'But if you have it so good in East Ber- lin why do you come over here'? inquired his West Berlin cousins. "'Oh,' he replied, 'I just wanted to bark'," *k*M * JOINT CHIEFS DEADLOCKED A VITALLY important peace-or-war debate has been taking place inside the Joint Chiefs of Satff regarding the issue of Indo- China. The result is a complete deadlock. On one side Admiral Arthur Radford, dynamic chairman of the Joint Chiefs, wants the United States to intervene ac- tively with sea and air power. On the other side, the Chiefs of Staff for the Army, Navy and Air Force vigorously and solidly disagree. Here is a survey of their views: Army Chief of Staff Matt Ridgway argues that ground troops ultimately will be called in to finish any U.S. intervention in Indo- China and he warns that the budget-slashed Army is no longer strong enough to support a bared-teeth policy. The Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Bob Carney, fears his aircraft carriers might get bottled in the narrow confines of the Tonkin Gulf. One end of the gulf is already plugged by a huge Chinese air base on Kwangtung Peninsula which juts like an infected tonsil into the Gulf, prac- tically sealing off the northern exit. As for the Air Force, General Nate Twin- ing has taken a flat stand against all peri- pheral wars-in other words, small isolated wars. The Air Force position was first advo- cated inside Pentagon councils by the late Chief of Staff, General Hoyt Vandenberg. His words have never been made public, but they are extremely significant because his advice, in effect, was to wage war-if war was necessary-directly at the source of the trouble-Moscow. This column can now report the exact words of the late Air Force Chief of Staff. HEART OF THE TROUBLE "PERHAPS THE time has come for the United States ... to go back to the days when the Barbary pirates asked us for ran- som and we said, 'No soap,'' pleaded Gen- eral Vandenberg. "There's one thing I'm sure of and that is: as far as the United States Air Force is con- cerned, even with the projected strength of it, we are not big enough to put out fires all over the world, around the periphery of trouble," Vandenberg continued. "Sooner or later," prophesied Vandenberg, "We're going to find out that as these peri- pheral areas start blazing and start enlarg- ing, we will come to a time where the mili- tary will have to tell the country that there isn't enough strength and the alternative is all-out mobilizatoin, which means war any- way."

Letters exceeding 300 words in length, defamatory or libelous letters, and letters which for any reason are not in good taste will be condensed, edited or withheld from publication at the discretion of the editors. Correction *. . To the Editor: WOULD LIKE to explain why the letter of Sat., May 1, which the organization wanted signed N.A.A.C.P., appeared with my name. I delivered the letter to the editor signed N.A.A.C.P. and left. Because the Daily has a policy of printing only letters with names on it I would like to make it plain to the public that it was not my letter but it was the letter of and expressed the views of the N.A.A.- C.P. -Willie B. Hackett McCarthy Misquotes .. . To the Editor: IN WILLIAM BUCKLEY'S recent apologia (based on the doctrine that the end justifies the means) for McCarthy, McCarthy and His Enemies, there appears the state- ment, "It is indeed characteristic of McCarthy that he put into di- rect quotes what amounts to his own paraphrase of someone's po- sition." A typical example of this falsification was given in last Tuesday's panel on McCarthy. Near the end of the audience- question period the pro (McCar- thy) side read what McCarthy said (lied) was a quote from Lincoln. As reported by James Reston in the N.Y. Times of Nov. 29, 1953, McCarthy pulled the quote out of context, garbled it, eliminated a reference to a "nation of free men," and then used the doctored quote to support his contention that the great danger to America is from Communists operation from within. The rest of McCar- thy's speech (Nov. 25, 1953) was a defense of his method, his means of rooting out Communists. Now, in the Lincoln speech re- fered to (Jan. 27, 1838), Lincoln was not urging that good ends jus- tify any means. In fact, in the whole speech he was arguing pre- cisely the opposite-that we must be careful of the means we use. Lincoln was worried at the time not about subversion by agents of a foreign power, but about sub- version by fellow Americans who disregard civil rights. He warned against the tendency of men to make personal estimates of guilt, pass judgment on their fellow Sixty-Fourth Year Edited and managed by students of the University of Michigan under the authority of the Board in Control of Student Publications.

The frightening aspect in this instance is that McCarthy's lie was inadvertantly repeated last Tuesday night by Prof. Weaver Charles Sleicher, Grad * * * Lily Gilded,... To the Editor: WAS pleased by the recent statement of Lily Pons as re- ported in the Daily to the effect that she would sing here essen- tially the same program as in a{ large metropolitan city. Indeed. If the implication here is that we are thus spared Home Sweet Home everyone should be satisfied. It would appear, however, that cer- tain other performers, lacking Lily's perception, have program- med mostly musical works of such nature as to renew my faith in the provincial nature of the Ann Arbor public, musically speaking. -David Kessel, for Gargoyle Immorlity? , ., To the Editor: IT HAS BEEN called to the at- tention of several people on this campus that the Inter-Arts Union is producing two student-written plays of dubious moral character next Saturday evening. This is probably an dndication of the mor- al concerns of the average writer today. But why must we condone' this sort of thing in an educa- tional institution? There are enough Tennessee Williamses and Erskine Caldwells throwing their literary weights around without encouraging young people to fol- low in their bawdy footsteps. We wonder what kind of people' it takes to act in immoral and hopeless dramatic productions? Perhaps this is also an indication of the lack of character becoming prevalent in the artist of today. It is our suggestion that all consci- entious people stay away from these plays next Saturday. -Bill Lawrence Frank Podleski Louis Rodriguez '1 REGULAR-SCHEDULE (at 8 Tuesday, June 1 (at 9 Saturday, May 29 (at 10 Monday, May 31 (at, 11 Wednesday, June 2 (at 1 Friday, June 4 (at 2 Thursday, June 3 (at 3 Saturday, June 5 MONDAY TUESDAY 9-12 9-12 9-12 9-12 9-12 9-12 9-12 2-5 2-5 2-5 2-5 2-5 2-5 2-5 (at 8 (at 9 (at 10 (at 11 (at 1 (at 2 (at 3 Wednesday, June 2 Saturday, May 29 Thursday, June 3 Friday, June 4 Tuesday, June 1 Monday, May 31 Saturday, June 5 SPECIAl, PERIODS Literature, Science and the Arts Economics 51, 52, 53, 54 English 1, 2 Sociology 51, 54, 60, 90 Chemistry 4, 8, 23 Spanish 1, 2, 31, 32 Russian 2 Political Science 2 Psychology 31 Botany 1, 2, 122 French 1, 2, 11, 12, 31, 32, 61, 2 German 1, 2, 11, 31, 32 Monday, Tuesday, Tuesday, Saturday Monday, Monday, Monday, Tuesday, Tuesday, May 31 June 1 June 1 June 5 June 7 June 7 June 7 June 8 June 8 Wednesday, June 9 Wednesday, June 9 COLLEGE CF ENGINEERING Economics 53, 54 Monday, May 31 E.E. 5 Tuesday, June 1 M.I.E. 135 Wednesday, June 2 P.E. 11, 12, 31, 32, 131 Thursday, June 3 C.E. 2 Friday, June 4 C.E. 21, 22 Saturday, June 5 Chemistry 4 Saturday, June 5 C.E. 151 Monday, June 7 E.M. 1, 2 Monday, June 7 Draw. 1 and Draw. 2, Group A Monday, June 7 English 11 Tuesday, June 8 Draw. 2, Group B Tuesday, June 8 Draw. 3 Wednesday, June 9 2-5 2-5 2-5 2-5 9-12 9-12 2-5 9-12 2-5 9-12 2-5 2-5 2-5 2-5 9-12 2-5 9-12 2-5 9-12 9-12 2-5 9-12 2-5 9-12 DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN -c u SPECIAL IN.rRUCTIONS LITERATURE, SCIEI CE AND THE ARTS No date of Examination may be changed without the con- sent of the Committee on Examr Anation Schedules.

EXECUTIVE SUITE EXECUTIVE SUITE is a 104-minute look at the happenings on the top floor of a large business organization. It is undoubted- ly the best film of its type, and probably one of the finest suspense stories ever made. When Tredway Furniture president Avery Bullard dies without appointing an executive vice-president, the seven member Board of Directors meets to elect the company's new head from among its own ranks. Fredric March, a money-mad treasurer, wants the presidency so that he can increase annual earnings. His chief opponent is William Holden, at a disadvantage because of youth and inexperience. The five other members back up their choices for personal reasons in some cases, and in other instances for what they believe is the company's good. The film builds up to an intensive ex- citement as the directors try to impose their own views on the other board mem- bers. There is a great deal of complexity both in the individual characters and in plicate their choices, while others are only seriously interested in their own well be- ing. This might easily confuse the viewer, but Director Robert Wise manages to clearly define all the relationships and to make each scene logically follow the pre- ceding one. Unlike most films, Executive Suite has no background music. No "sighing violins" un- derscore the romantic scenes; no crescen- doing studio orchestra attempts to heighten dramatic moments-it is the actors and the ever-probing camera that must always set the mood. Fortunately the performers are all skilled. Some of them (Barbara Stan- wyck and June Allyson) play roles with which they are long familiar; others (Holden and March) have parts that challenge their abilities. But all are uniformly excellent. The stark black-and-white lensing effective- ly adds to the film, providing movement and keeping the film from becoming static. Hol- den, incidentally, performs the final scene with admirable restraint. His plea for co- operation could easily have become hammy. or it tries to tell it entirely in human terms, of group relationships within, say, a squad. ,In the first kind we lose the sense of the individual, in the second, of the war. A Walk In The Sun is not an ordinary war movie. Its director, Clarence Brown, man- ages effectively to play the war situation against "whole" characters. The action takes place in twelve hours, from midnight, when a certain squad is approaching an Italian beachhead in their landing barge, till noon, when they take their objective, a farmhouse and a bridge. The farmhouse is the movies' dramatic focus. Without ostentation, it symbolizes all that the men aspire to and fear, containing, as it does, both German machine guns to kill them, and apples to satisfy their craving for apples. This restraint is, in fact, one of the most gratifying things about the movie. When a phrase or a camera shot is repeated, it seems always to have some purpose.
