On the other hand, the SL, in a motion Wednesday evening, stated "The SL wish- es to express its alarm at the recent dis- crimination in a university approved League House.' The SL did not in a moment of emotional upset repeat their 'sticker referendum' fiasco. Rather, they carefully worded the motion to show that they are not blurting about discrimination over which they have no jurisdiction, but to demonstrate that the student body looks with distaste on discrim- inatory practices in campus-regulated or- ganizations. The SL proposal that "the University re- fuse to grant approval of any League House that adheres to discriminatory practices in granting room space and recognizing privi- leges of occupants' guests," is an appeal from the students to keep this university free from discrimination. Even more im- portant, it is an appeal. from the students, as represented by the Student Legislature, to see that the administration does not create living conditions which are not in agreement with the residents who will live under them. Dean Bacon should take the proposal as such, and allow the issue to become one for close administration - student cooperation which has been lacking on other issues. In this instance, the case is not one of the owner's right to run her home the way she wishes. University students live there, and the owner's income is governed by the approval granted by the Univer- sity. Therefore, it is up io the University to see that their students should have the right to live as they wish, in University approved homes. In addition, as Anita Halpern's letter-to- the-editor said yesterday, approval of the administration to those houses practicing discrimination connotes a tone of approval of discrimination on the part of the Univer- sity. This can hardly be the case, in a school where .there is as great a mixture of races, religions, and nationalities as there is pres- ent on this campus, and yet, her letter was correct in pointing out that the League House situation would reflect on the Uni- versity. Also Miss Halpern quoted her landlady, Mrs. Freeman, as saying to the girls when the incident occurred, "If you girls want to lower yourselves, kindly do it on the outside. Get rid of them immediately!" This state- ment seems to sum up Mrs. Freeman's poli- cies in her League House, and if the Univer- sity is willing to accept this attitude for the running of a home for its students, then Michigan is going to be due for more wide- spread criticism than it has already received on the part of the student body. There is no doubt that a statement as strong as that one coming from a proprietor of an approved home will reflect strongly and critically on the University. It is true that as a home-owner, Mrs. Freeman is within her rights to admit or not admit whom she pleases. At the pres- ent time, however, she is a home owner subject to all University social, physical, and health requirements. The SL, repre- sentative of student opinion, believes that she should be subject to the University policies on discrimination also. Their proposal, if acted upon favorably by the University, will give these landlords and landladies the opportunity to decide if the discriminatory standards by which they live are worth more than having their homes approved for occupancy by University stu- dents. -Lew Hamburger +DANCE + THE ESSENCE of the modern dance form came off as best.

Actually, it was just the opposite. Every time the Congressmen tried to get down to brass tacks regarding the reap- pointment of Gordon Clapp as TVAdminis- trator, the President changed the subject. "They tell me the fishing's good down your way," he remarked as Congressmen Cooper and Percy Priest of Tennessee started to urge the reappointment of Clapp, a non- political career man who worked his way up the ladder to become head of the nation's biggest power project. Congressmen Joe Evins of Tennessee, Tom Abernethy of Mississippi and Henderson anham of Georgia agreed that the fishing was fine. But they politely reminded Ike that they had come to talk about Clapp, not fishing. "I can assure you of one thing." responded Ike, "and I would like to emphasize this. When I fill any vacancy on the TVA board, it will be done on a nonpartisan basis." Congressman Jamie Whitten of Mississip- pi next tried to impress on the President that Clapp not only was nonpartisan, but extremely efficient. Eisenhower replied he had "considered" naming Gen. Bob Neyland, Tennessee Uni- versity's Athletic Director, as TVA chairman. "Bob Neyland is best known as a football coach, but he also was a great baseball player and later proved his administrative ability in the Corps of Engineers," the Presi- dent recalled. "However, I understand that Bob has been in poor health lately." ,CREEPING SOCIALISM? Ike began to go into greater detail about Neyland's athletic achievements in football and baseball, but Congressman Noble Greg- ory of Kentucky respectfully suggested that the delegation would prefer to hear Ike's views on the TVA program, since that was the reason for their visit. What Gregory and other congressmen had in mind was the President's conflicting statements about TVA which indicated he was sometimes for it, sometimes against. During his election campaign he lauded TVA before a Memphis audience on Oct. 15, 1952, But nine months later, June,17, 1953, he cited TVA as an example of "creep- ing socialism." Then on October 8 he told a press conference that he never described TVA as "creeping socialism," had only said some of its features were. So the Congressmen thought this was a good time to pin down the President on what he really thought. "The TVA represents a philosophy in the field of electric power development that must be kept under continuous study," replied Ike. "However, what's good for one area might not apply in another. It's as simple as two and two making four. "I'm inclined to favor the states and local communities handling their own problems, without intervention by the federal govern- ment. I do not say that this policy should apply to the whole country." CANCER AND CIGARETTES DR. ALTON OCHSNER of Tulane Univer- sity, whose unhappy job it has been to remove more lungs from Americans than perhaps any other doctor, told me of an experience he had with $he Associated Press when he put the finger on the relationship between lung cancer and cigarettes four years ago. He had given a careful analysis of the cause of lung cancer before a cancer confer- ence at Denver in 1950, showing the tremen- dous increase among cigarette users. After- ward the AP man asked for a copy of his speech and put it on the wire. "In 20 minutes," said Dr. Ochsner, "it was recalled. TIfe AP man apologized and said his office wouldn't stand for it." I hope the press associations today are less considerate of advertisers and more considerate of the public health. But in case they aren't, here are some amazing statements made by Dr. Ochsner on tele- vision this weekend, which the public will want to know about. "There's a complete parallelism between the consumption of cigarettes in the United States and the increase of lung cancer," says Dr. Ochsner. "Both go up about the same degree . . . Lung cancer has out- stripped every other type of cancer in recent years . . . There's been an attempt to blame air pollution, but I'm sure air pollution has nothing to do with it . . . Washington Uni- versity in St. Louis has taken a robot ma- chine that smokes cigarettes just like a human being . . , and used this to apply smoke to animals . . . at the end of two years, 44 per cent of the animals had a. cancer right where the smoke had been applied. It was indistinguishable from the cancer we see in humans. OFFICIAL BRITISH FINDINGS LUNG CANCER has gone up in the same proportion as cigarette consumption wherever studies have been made-in Hol- land, Denmark, England. In England an official government report found a definite relationship between the two . . . Studies show that many boys now begin smoking at the age of nine or ten, whereas they used to start at about 20. This has led to the peak incidence of lung cancer coming at the age of 50 to 55 instead of 65 as formerly X P- . 1 _ -t II Z_ _ . z _ . 1 _. __ .. cCetferi to itk 6 Op . Harmless Fun . . . To the Editor. RECENTLY Mr. Ted Swift in ef- fect called for the wrath of the Dean's office to descend upon the "rascal" who perpetrated the affair of the "Unicorn in the Gar- den." All I can say is that, occu- pied as he must be in the Legal Research Building with his out- lines and reference works, the in- cident has assumed exaggerated significance to him. I am sure that few of his less scholarly brethren view the episode as an affront toI the dignity and decorum of the Law School. As finals approach, tension mounts, and even the most studious need some diversion. Surely Mr. Swift must agree that leaving a horse in a courtyard for a few hours is more acceptable, than shooting skyrockets off the roof of the Lawyer's Club (J en- try) during a certain football game: often held in the Spring. Things haveccomeatova pretty pass when one can't have a little harmless~ fun without being castigated for it by someone with Mr. Swift's un- usual sense of propriety. Thank . A I1 + A EN&- \. i '9or dents who shun politics. They claim that their single contribu- tion cannot materially affect the outcome of any one cause. I, myself, have expressed this same opinion in The Daily several times. I now realize this opinion is deceptive. When issues such as the civil rights and McCarthy controversies arise, a student, unless he com- pletely ignores politics, automati- cally takes sides, intelligent or otherwise. Meanwhile, groups have organized which are tring to promote the same opinion as his; other groups are working in opposition. If the student has any emotion- al attachment to the community whatsoever, he cannot keep his opinions to himself. He feels the need to identify himself with those groups which are, in his opinion, doing what is right. Whether his membership in the group. accom- plishes much or not is really irrele- vant. His need for identificatiop, his desire to say, "I am with you"' is too great for him to ignore. The question then which a stu- dent must ask himself is this: "When groups are working for goals which I desire, can I remain alone, apart from the group or am I overwhelmed with this social need (for I am a social animal) to express my appreciation for and identification with this group?" If students would ask themselves this question, I think many more would participate actively in po- litical groups than have in the past. --Bernie Backhaut * ,* * I-W I' heaven there are few like him in ' + - -- °'\ the Law School.

Just as much as Mr. Swift's letter of April 30th came as a surprise to Mr. Fiske, so Mr. Fiske's letter of May 7th comes as a shocking surprise to me, for it seems incredible that a law stu- dent considers such a 'prank as the "Unicorn in the Garden" amusing. It appears that, "the caretakers of Crease" exceeded the bounds of dignity. From the tenor of Mr. Fiske's letter, the under- graduate would be led to believe that life in law school is exceed- ingly hum-drum and boring, ne. cessitating resort to such infan- tile acts as a means of relieving the boredom. But this is not so -for the law student has numer- ous activities to make his years in law school more pleasurable, i.e. Law Institutes, legal discussions during coffee hours, and the fac- ulty teas. After all, we law students are embarking upon that troubled sea of the business world, wherein one must in the words of that Harvard professor, "Be Prepared." And a diligent application of one's men- tal capacities to the study of his chosen profession is that prepar- edness. Certainly, the Crease Ball Weekend was a waste of mental resources. As for me, I too, like Mr. Swift, was not there. -Donald L.

COME BACK LITTLE SHEBA ONC, a Broadway play, William Inge's study of the wasted lives of a middle- aged couple, Come Back, Little Sheba, has been superbly adapted to the screen. It has a realism that is seldom seen in motion pitcures, and its total effect is one of such great- intensity that the viewer is likely to come away drained of all emotions. Fat, sloppy, fortish Lola Delaney (Shirley Booth) is a woman who dreams of the time she was young and attractive, of the "roaring twenties" flapper whom so many men admired. One of these men, Doc (Burt Lancaster), got Lola pregnant and had to marry her. He had to give up his medical studies and become a chiropractor. Now all he has is an AA-fostered desire to stay sober, the memory of their lost child,. and Lola-dirty, unwashed, ugly Lola. In the afternoon Lola listens to lively music on the radio, dances around the living room, and dreams of her lost dog, Little Sheba. The dog is her private sym- bol of lost youth and beauty. Lonely, wanting a child to mother, she takes in a college-student boarder, Marie (Terry Moore). But this only causes trouble, for Marie becomes to Doc what Sheba is to Lola-a symbol of the beautiful past. While he watches Marie turn into what he believes is a "slut," all of. the resent- ment and bitterness his wife has foster- ed in him comes to the surface. Drunk, in- sane with anger, he tries to kill Lola. The story offers no solution to the couple's problem. As the film ends they are still much the same, and Lola is just as physi- cally and intellectually unattractive. True, they are going to try to settle their diffi- LUCKY ME, with Doris Day, Robert Cum- mings, Phil Silvers T STARTED OUT real nice. There was lots of screen to look at and on it was lots of Doris Day and she was singing a bouncy tune about superstitions. But then, Phil Silvers showed up and said, "I got bad news about our money: I just got button- holed by a couple of creditors." "What you got left?" somebody said. "Buttonholes," said Phil. The audience laughed halfheart- edly and I went quietly to sleep. When I woke up Doris was singing again. The point to all this is that if you pay no attention to the plot you can enjoy yourself. Unfortunately, though, there are those that insist upon plot, so for the benefit of these lost souls we proceed. Doris is a lovely but broke singer washing dishes in a Miami hotel with three other members of a troupe. These are Phil Silvers, trying hard to be Jackie Gleason but not making it, Nancy Walker, and Eddie Foy, and there is no need to mention them again. So anyway, one day who should she meet but Robert Cummings, a nationally known composer and play producer, who rams his car into fireplugs every time he sees her on the street. Ie tells her he is a garage mechanic named Szczepanski, and when she finds out the truth she is so mad that she throws the nearest custard pie in his face. Well, true love being what it is, they are reconciled in a while, and the moral is, if you are lovely, talented, and married to a rich producer, you too can be a famous star. There are some pretty songs around, and Miami looks fine in CinemaScope; yet the best reason for seeing it is that it stars Doris nav 'nri aft-r ol iiwhmt mrpnn o, n erk The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of the University of Michigan for which the Michigan Daily assumes no editorial responsi- bility.
