IT SEEMS TO ME

By HARRY LUNN
Daily Managing Editor

By ALICE B. SILVER
Associate Editorial Director

i4

T HE HARDEST PART of this last column to
write is the opening section explaining to any-
one who is curious that an ancient Daily tradition
dictates that the outgoing editor engage in sev-
eral hundred words of nostalgic, and reasonably
profound, reflections on his year of office. Gener-
ally the introductions sound as pretentious as this
one.
It would be impossible to separate the year of
editorship from mention of those people who
have made it worthwhile for me and, I hope,
the readers. To the team of Eric Vetter and
Mike Wolff my thanks for keeping the news
pages filled with interesting and informative
copy and joining with me in periodic freedom
of information negotiations with the Judiciary
and other groups. Equally fine to work with were
Virginia Voss and Alice B. Silver, who produced
as intelligent an editorial page as we have ever
had and to them appreciation for championing
the right of discussion and disagreement. Plau-
dits also for Diane AuWerter and Helene Simon
who recruited numerous staff members and
shepherded them through the important train-
ing program, with a special tribute to Mrs. Au-
Werter for taking over responsibility for the
radio newscast last fall.
The year's provocative sports page represented
an outstanding job by Ivan Kaye, who gave us a
point a minute score on paper even though Illi-
nois refused to on the field, and his cohort Paul
Greenberg who also helped out with the newscast.
Their compatriots, Marilyn Campbell and Kathy
Zeisler, did an equally fine job in expanding the
area of the women's page.
Business staff czar Tom Treeger gained our
admiration for keeping the paper solvent with-
out curtailing its quality and in that almost im-
possible task he was ably assisted by Bill Kauf-
man, Harlean Hankin and Bill Seiden.
Many thanks to Ken Chatters and the shop
crew fox their usually effective job and an added
note of congratulations to Ken who finally ordered
his tele-typesetter last week after years of cajoling
us about it.
Also a word of commendation to John Reed and
the Board in Control for another year of their
understanding stewardship of the publications and
dedication to a free press.
LOOKING BEYOND The Daily to the campus
as a whole, this has been a year of significant
achievement in the area of student affairs. Within
the year we have seen the creation of a Vice-
Presidency for Student Affairs, approval in prin-
ciple of the student activities building project,
recommendation of a streamlined and more effec-
tive student government and a broadening of
student participation in the government of the
University.
These victories were not gained entirely by
efforts of the last year; many seemingly fruit-
less years of activity lay behind them-years
when student leaders looked back over their
work and thought bitterly that little had been
accomplished. But the goals would not have
been reached had they abandoned their re-
sponsibilities, -and it has been the continued
demonstration of ability to take responsibility
and use it wisely that has resulted in the year's
gains.
The Vice-Presidency holds great promise for
reflection of student thought and action to the
Regents, and a better understanding of the
board's plans and opinions by the students. Vice-
President Lewis can expect the cooperation of
every organization in his first year on campus, and
I look forward to excellent progress in the realm
of student-administration relations under his
regime.
During the year I have had the pleasure of
association with members of that most maligned
body, the Board of Regents, and want to thank
them individually and collectively for their inter-
est in the Vice-Presidency and the activities build-
ing project. While few people would doubt their
sincere concern with the University, their remote-
ness to the campus and slowness of action makes
them convenient targets for attack. Through a
joint Daily-Student Legislature-Union proposal
for meetings with students and the Regents we
hope to breech the remoteness and establish the
understanding necessary to appreciate their re-
lationship to this vast institution.

The student government reorganization has
been one of the finest studies that has ever
emerged from a joint student-faculty commit-
tee. Under Prof. Lionel Laing's exceptional lead-
ership the group tackled the basic problems of
student government on the campus and arrived
at an excellent government structure which de-
serves the support of the students, the President
and the Board of Regents.
The activities building project has occupied most
of my thinking outside of The Daily this year and
a word of thanks is certainly in order for the 11
students who worked with me and the adminis-
trative assistance we gained, particularly from
Vice-President Pierpont and Gordon Hansen of
his office.
During this year the University has passed
through the trying experience of coming under
scrutiny of the Un-American Activities Committee.
Generally the institution has borne itself with
dignity and the statesmanlike work of Vice-Presi-
dent Niehuss in anticipation of the investigation
should not pass unnoticed. His was the responsi-
bility of handling formulation of procedures for
cases arising out of the hearings, and his calm and
intelligent preparation won the respect of all
those who worked with him. Without his interest

WE'RE LEAVING.
Looking at the last four years from the per-
spective of the men in the Administration build-
ing, it might seem a period of fault finding, mis-
understanding and attack.
I would like to call it just editorial criticism,
Anyway, we haven't agreed on many things.
The big issues have been the bias clause veto,
the Lecture Committee bans, the hearty wel-
come to Clardy, and the faculty suspensions.
Although the Administration has never to my
knowledge brought undue pressure on The Daily,
there has always been the implication that strong
editorial criticism means disregard for the Uni-
versity.
The corollary to this has been that the strong
critic is "irresponsible" and not a true member of
the University "family" or "community"
We work on an entirely different assumption.
Underlying every editorial has been the belief
that disagreement among students, faculty and
administration is, in many areas, inevitable and
that an airing of that disagreement is absolutely
necessary to the proper functioning of the Uni-
versity community.
When we have severely taken the President to
task, it has not been with the intention of des-
troying internal harmony but of holding up an
ideal to which we feel a great University should
conform.
Furthermore, we understand that a state uni-
versity must answer for its actions to a conserv-
ative legislature and alumni group.
But we have also felt that in many of these
areas of disagreement the University could have
taken a stand more in line with free education
at very little cost to public relations.
At any rate, we do not deserve the charges of
irresponsibility and lack of concern about the
welfare of the University.
We have been concerned with the University
to the extent of spending four years in an at-
tempt, among other things, to close the gap be-
tween the ideals of educational freedom and the
policies of the University.
We would have spent our time elsewhere if we
did not believe that this gap can be significantly
narrowed by students, faculty and administra-
tors, and that the University of Michigan will in
the future realize its potential in all areas as one
of the finest universities in the nation.
Mum's the Word
ALMOST THREE WEEKS have sneaked past
since the President took the action "without
prejudice."
Some have already jumped to the conclusion
that the administration is being lethargic, even
on purpose. The Student Legislature has urged
that a decision be reached "as soon as pos-
sible." Some faculty members have said that
the President intends to let the issue die out
over the summer.
Who really knows what's going on, except the
administration, which is reluctant to tell us?
All we hear about is the establishment of com-
mittees.
Keeping mum creates suspicion, just like re-
fusing to answer questions of a Congressional in-
vestigating committee. We can protest the silence
also on the basis that we have a right to know
what is going on, which, of course, we do. We
could even get emotional about it. Then the ad-
ministration would get equally emotional with-
out losing its informational reticence.
A much nicer procedure would be to ask
"Why?" Then, since we don't really expect an
answer, we answer it ourselves.
We can probably assume, first of all, that no
decision will be made before the end of this
semester and most of us have left for a job
and relaxation. At least no decision will be an-
nounced; it's probably been made already. This
would be sufficient reason both for not really
doing anything and for not letting it be known
what was not being done.
Then, the question is "Why hasn't the deci-
sion been announced?" or "Why weren't they
dismissed in the first place?" Under the assump-
tion that the administration has intended from
the beginning of the affair to eventually dismiss
the three, it must be that the reaction to such a

move would be annoying enough to prevent its
being admitted. This kind of reaction would
come only from the faculty and the students,
since political approval would be graciously wait-
ing.
We can discard this assumption and still come
up with a pretty morbid conclusion. That is that
the administration does not intend to take any
steps as drastic as dismissal. It is much easier,
quieter, and replete with other advantages mere-
ly not to renew contracts.
Now we may be wrong on all this. But how
can we tell unless the administration can offer
something to indicate that it is indeed handling
the cases in a fair manner? If they are not, the
whole incident will go down as the biggest blotch
on the University's academic history and reputa-
tion for high standard.
-Jim Dygert
dent Hatcher on a number of issues, I believe that
from my own standpoint, and that of students
in general, the year has brought greater mutual
understanding than has existed in the past. His
assistance and guidance to the projects discussed
here has been appreciated.
I believe I am expressing the feelings of every
student who has ever had occasion to meet or

Conductor's Conduct . .
To the Editor:
AS AN ASIAN observer of this
country's culture and one who
has thought highly of its achieve-
ments in music, I made a special
point of attending the perform-
ance last Tuesday, when Edwin
Franko Goldman (of whom I had
never heard before) was to be
guest conductor.,
I read the comments of your cri-
tic the next day and then forgot
all about them, having formed my
own, It was therefore a great sur-
prise to see in yesterday's paper a
rejoinder to these same views by
the great Goldman himself! Not
only has he taken the trouble to
air his views but he has also spok-
en disparagingly of your critic and
his opinions.
This strikes me as a deplorable
exhibition of pettiness. I don't
think much of your critics; but, so
long as they are not spiteful or
factually wrong, I believe that
they are entitled to their views. (I
don't think much of Goldman
either.)
Is it that your artists have yet
to learn the art of aloofness and
your conductors becoming con-
duct?
-Kenneth de Lanerolle
Lincoln Would Say...
To the Editor:
Dear President Hatcher:
IF ABRAHAM LINCOLN were
alive today to advise the Uni-
versity Administration he might
say as he once said: "I feel you
do not fully comprehend the dan-
ger of abridging the liberties of
the people. A government had
better go to the very extreme of
toleration than do aught that
could be construed into an inter-
ference with the common rights
of the citizen.'
There is no doubt that today
the common rights of the citizen
are gravely threatened, not only
from without, but also from with-
in, by misguided politicians who
would excessively sacrifice indi-
vidual freedom in the name of
national security. The University
Administration now has a magni-
ficant opportunity to strengthen
the hand of democracy by follow-
ing the recommendations of the
faculty with respect to dismissal
of the three professors, rather
than submitting to political pres-
sure.
In the name of the Unitarian
Student Group.

Is This McCarthyism?..*.
To the Editor:
N HER editorial accusing stu-
dents of McCarthyist tactics
Miss Fine limits freedom of
speech, judges the sincerity of
those who protest' McCarthyism
and faculty suspensions, is dis-
honest (re: "the ENTIRE demon-
stration (Green Feather) was one
of follow the leader,"), is ignor-
ant of what McCarthyism actually
is, disqualifies by inference the
term McCarthyism (re: ". . it
is a term originated by the Daily

Worker." Actually the term was
coined by a Pulitzer Prize win-
ning cartoonist, Herblock.)
McCarthyism, for Miss Fine's
edification, is therperversion of
the House Committee on Un-
American Activities proper aim
by the employment of slander,
guilt by association, and trial be-
fore the bar of public opinion.
One question, Miss Fine. I fer-
vently object to the stones and
knives that were thrown at aI
man's son by the boy's classmatesI
immediately after his father's
hearing. Is my objection to the
atmosphere that motivated this
incident McCarthyist? Am I
"through fear and prejudiced
opinionshenclosing myself in a
wall of hate and mistrust?"

A NATIVE North Carolinian vis-

that there was only one proposal,
the Crary plan, that was preferred
over the present set-up.
Specific criticisms of the Dwy-
er system are these: 1) the fall
semester would place a constant
pressure on the students and fac-
ulty for fifteen straight weeks of
classes, except for the short relief'
afforded by the Thanksgivixt holi-
days; and 2), the final exam per-
iod immediately following the
Christmas vacation makes the use
of the term "vacation" a farce:
Christmas dinner will have to be
eaten with a stack of open note-
books on the festive board. Fur-
thermore, the athletic depart-
ment's objections cannot apply just
to the Crary plan and not to the
Dwyer plan, for the latter also
moves up the end of the spring se-
mester to make athletic schedul-
ing inconvenient.
If we are to have a change in
calendaring, let it be a good one,
one that has general support in-
stead of a sixth-place student vote
and a split vote in the Calendaring
Committee. Let us hope that the
next Deans Conference will see
the Dwyer plan rejected.

Defense of Art ...
To the Editor:
I READ Mr. Engles comments
on the Garg and I feel that
I have to come to the defense of

Art. I thoroughly enjoyed the last
two issues myself. I have just re-
turned to the campus and I think
that there has been a decided im-
provement since 1950. There is a
coherent style now-and a re-
freshing one. There is a lot of wit
in Garg's stabs at the inflated
nothings of our life.

Quiet, Please .. .
To The Editor:
I THINK that the blasting of the
pneumatic drill (pavement bus-
ter) heard by East Quad residents
at 7:15 this morning was uncalled
for and a bit deafening. I propose
that the zealous workers postpone
that quad-disturbing behavior un-
til at least 8:00. College students,,
like other normal human beings,
enjoy sleeping late in the morning.

There has been considerable con-
cern evidenced in your columns
over a potential mass displacement
of Negro school teachers as a re-
sult of the Supreme Court action.
There are several factors, I sug-
gest, which will operate against
this tendency.
First, the birthrate in the South
is the highest in the nation, and
schoolrooms are bursting. There
exists a teacher shortage in both
systems, albeit more severe in the
white schools. The Negro teachers
will necessarily continue to be,
therefore, a valuable resource. Be-
cause of the marked over-crowd-
ing, consolidation can effect few
economies except in transporta-
tion. I am realistic enough to pre-
.dict that the next major Supreme
Court decision in the educational
area will deal with discrimination
against the Negro teacher. From
past experience, it would be easy
to construct the argument of some
Attorney General that one white
teacher is better qualified to han-
dle eighty school children than
two Negro teachers. Present indi-
cations are that this argument will
not prevail. The politicians will
continue to give the appearance of
a last ditch stand, as their politi-
cal lives depend upon it. Be pa-
tient with them. Real statesmen
are probably as rare in the South
as in the Midwest.
Second, the white majority, in
the towns at least, will undoubted-
ly gerrymander the school districts
to minimize the effect of consoli-
dation. While a violation of the
spirit of the law, this entirely legal
maneuver will have the incidental
result of protecting the Negro
teacher.
Third, it is not generally known
outside the region, but the Negro
teachers are the elite of their race.
The ratio of Negro teachers in the
public schools of North Carolina
holding master and doctoral de-
grees is considerably greater than
that of the white group. (I am
sorry that I haven't the figures at
hand.) It is going to be difficult
not to hire Negro teachers if the
Supreme Court insists on objective
hiring criteria.
My advice to the country at
large, if sought, would be to main-
tain the pressure. History shows
clearly that every concession made
the Negro in the South has been
forced over the white man's objec-
tion. These are cruel times, and
our democratic institutions are
under fire from right and left. The
time has long since passed when
this country could tolerate the
moral cancer of racial discrimina-
tion. Try to have a little sympathy
for the white man who is being
forced to accept changes in basic
attitudes learned in the cradle, but
be resolute and don't waver.

Schmeling Visit . .
To the Editor:
EARLY LAST week, Frank Zeid-
ler, the mayor of Milwaukee,
heartily welcomed Max Schmeling
to his city. Schmeling was to be
a guest referee in a boxing match
a few days hence.
For those who don't know or
have forgotten who Schmeling is,
let me fill in some details:
Schmeling is former world's
heavyweight boxing champion,
and is the only man to have
knocked out Joe Louis, this be-
fore the latter became champion.
In a rematch in 1938 Louis, dis-
playing anger for the first and
only time in his career, knocked
Schmeling out in the first round.
Louis was a n g r y because

thorities. At that time he was un-
der investigation by the French
Government on charges of having
collaborated with the Nazis. (He
was subsequently cleared of the
charges.)
When, in 1951, M. Chevalier
again tried to enter this country,
he was refused admittance. Dean
Acheson, then the Secretary of
State gave the reasons for refusal
of admittance. Most important
was that Chevalier signed the
Stockholm Peace Petition, calling
for the outlawing of the atomic
bomb. (Also of some significance
was that he had taken part in
pro-Communist entertainment, he
had sung for a group, that had
turned its receipts over to a Com-
munist affiliate, and he constant-
ly got favorable publicity from the
French Communist press.)
As a possible Nazi, Chevalier
was admitted to this country, but
as a possible leftist, Chevalier was
barred. Schmeling, the proud Nazi
"superman" was received in this
country with open arms.
The United States would cer-
tainly do well to allow the many
fine anti-Fascist artists and ath-
letes (e.g., Picasso, Shostakovich,
Charlie Chaplin and Emil Zato-
pek) into the country. To make
this possible, our immigration
laws need major revision.

Minority Rule .
To The Editor:
ONCE AGAIN the desire for edu-
cation has bowed to the will of
the Athletic Department. Do we
attend a school where the minor-
ity rules?
In the recent referendum held
by the Calendaring Committee the
Crary Plan obtained more votes
than any other plan, while the
Dwyer Plan polled sixth. What is
the purpose of a referendum if it
is to be decided upon the basis of
satisfying a minority, although in
this case it was an important one.
The common student no longer
matters! What about the number
of students that will be affected
adversely by the proposed plan?
Were they taken into considera-
tion?
The Athletic Department has an
advantage in that it can speak in
mass, whereas the ordinary stu-
dent can only voice his opinion
through a referendum or an open
election.
I am not debating the merits of
either plan, but a referendum was
held to determine their merits.
When making their decision did
the committee think that the stu-
dents were not intelligent enough
to voice their opinion? If so, why
have a referendum? The advantag-
es and disadvantages to all the
plans were stated in The Daily
prior to the election and I believe
the students were well aware of
what they were voting for.
True athletics serve an import-
ant function at our University, but
are they more important than aca-
demic learning?
In regard to the proposed ex-
pansion of athletic facilities, I
suggest that the University hum-
ble itself and borrow some money
from the Athletic Department to
build- much needed dormitory
space for the great influx of new
students. After all, how can we
produce athletes if we have no
place for them to live.
