IT IS GRATIFYING to this writer, who
had only lethargy to blame for his six
semester exposure to "The Michigan House
Plan," to find as high-powered a discus-
sion of the quad system as Saturday's IHC-
Assembly debate finally getting underway.
That the workshop covered an impressive
amount of territory is shown by the list of
topics which included 12 fields of activity
from the place of housing units in the com-
munity to improving difficulties in services
(i.e. food and telephones).
But that the very comprehensiveness
of the discussions has in it the makings of
the project's ultimate uselessness is also
shown by a glance at some of the "ideas"
that came out of the four-hour session.
Dissatisfied quadders will undoubtably
cheer the idea of a oentral committee to
Integrate charity drives. Men who cannot
get out of the quads soon enough will cer-
tainly start depledging their fraternities
when informed that residence hall units
may soon have alumni association. Eighty
cent-an-hour busboys should have little to
complain about if they are impressed with
the responsibility their jobs entail. And the
pervading tone of many of the discussions,
that what we need is more "house spirit" is
certainly not what the doctor ordered for
the majority of quad dwellers whose wants
are really quite simple.
Students and quad administrators who
have long complained about the great yearly
turnover which undermines house govern-
ment and the general group cohesiveness
need turn no further than to their kitch-
ens for the answer to why most men leave
the quads as quickly as possible.
It has been this writer's experience
that what disgusts residents most about
their "home away from home" and pro-
vides the greatest impetus to the frater-
nity migration is the undeniably poor
food that residents pay for, whether they
eat it or not, after standing in long lines
three times a day, 30 weeks a year.
The very simplicity and materialism of
this solution may upset those who, seeped in
the long and colorful tradition of the Ox-
ford-based Michigan House Plan, have dwelt
upon "housespirit" and fancy furnishings
as the solution to their problems. But it's
a sure bet that an unbiased survey would
find most quad residents willing to forgo
bigger and better musicales, extended ori-
entation programs and other what-not for
a meal as good or slightly better than what
many Greeks enjoy.
Panhel versus Assembly,
A Need for Understanding
LATEST injection into the stream of cam-
pus talk of the sorority rushing contro-
versy was Assembly's emphatic statement
that Panhellenic should give more consider-
ation to individuals and adopt spring rushing
again when the vote comes up on March 9.
This is well and good: as a loose-knit
organization of very independent individ-
uals, it's Assembly's place to stand up for
its own. But the very assertion of these
ideas has incited a bitterness between the
two groups that was previously dormant if
it existed at all.
Misunderstanding has colored sorority-
independent relations for long time. Neither
group can be expected to have much insight
into the other's problems: sorority members,
for instance, get their only picture of As-
sembly's viewpoint through a nonchalant
year in a dormitory. Their apathy about
"dorm spirit" results more from unappeal-
ing residence hall activities, however, rather
than from a snobbish or conceited refusal
to participate in anything non-Greek.
But for any practical purpose, most inde-
pendents are totally unfamiliar with sorori-
ty proceedings. This is lamentable, but since
the situation exists it's hardly fair for their
bystanders' judgements of an intra-sorority
conflict to bear much weight.
Contrary to many opinions, sororities too
are interested in individuals. Without this
interest they'd never have been founded.
Without it affiliated women wouldn't occupy
as many prominent campus positions as they
do now. Without it there'd be no tedious
post-rushing sessions to assure sororities
that the rushees they bid to membership are
the ones who can give to and profit from
their affiliated life.
By no means are the eighteen sororities
here situated aloofly, above everyone else,
on an Ann Arbor acropolis. It's long past
time to explode this stereotyped concep-
tion. To maintain a campus equilibrium,
Panhel's groups need members. And the
two-year trial of fall rushing has pretty
clearly proven that this system attracts
more women into sororities and keeps the
entire Panhellenic system healthier. For a
variety of well-hashed reasons, spring
rushing is at best a poor second choice.
A quick rundown of these reasons: in fall
the weather is more favorable; everyone re-
turns to campus relaxed, rested and com-
paratively eager to start school again, and
the ridiculous semester-long "contact rules"
needn't be feared by anybody.
If Panhel regressed to spring rushing, in-
dependent women would obviously have
nothing to lose. When their finals were over,
they could follow University advice and leave
town to visit home or friends. Only the
amused ones would remain to watch sorori-
ties, compelled by rushing, to remain in Ann
Arbor. Rushing, on the heels of finals, isn't
much fun for anybody-but after a long
summer's layoff from academic life, it can
be enjoyable.
Then there are rushees. For them, the
rushing process is completely optional, and
in too many cases they decide that after
finals a change of scenery does them more
good than a possible pledge pin. The results
are obvious: fewer rushees, smaller chapters,
weaker sororities, overburdened independ-
ents.
For asserting the voice it should have used
long ago, Assembly is to be congratulated.
But how about a consideration of the Pan-
hellenic viewpoint, too?

little cooperation from quad student gov-

Education
En Masse
".--With an estimated enrollment of 25,-
000 slated for 1960." This huge fig-
ure which is the prospective enrollment of
the University is an indication of one of the
touchiest problems presented to American
educators today.
There are two theories of higher educa-
tion: one is to educated the top 2-5 per
cent of the nation's youth who according
to arbitrary standards are mentally equip-
ped to carry on the affairs of the nations.
The other is that higher education should
be extended to the individuals ranging in
the upper 25 per cent mentally.
Obviously, if the latter more democratic
method of education were pursued, huge en-
rollment figures would result. The possibili-
ty of having 25,000 students attending the
University is already conceivable. And be-
cause it is impossible to keep up facility ex-
pansion and an increased faculty with a stu-
dent body increase of nearly 8,000 in six
years, the problem is destined to become
acute.
Lecture courses will have to include as
many as 300 students; recitation classes will.
increase to 50 students or more; discussion
sections will in fact be small lecture sec-
tions, and discussion itself will seldom occur.
The only way to avoid education 'en
masse" and the drowning of individuals in
huge classroom mobs is to stiffen University
entrance requirements and admit only the 2-
5 per cent of the nation's youth in this and
other schools. But this is clearly contrary to
the democratic ideal of a well educated body
politic.
Who has an answer to the paradox of mod-
ern higher education?

Griller String Quartet
THE FINALE of this year's Chamber Mu-
sic Festival was in a sombre tone, as
the Griller.Quartet programmed three works
all focusing on melancholy or an intense
sustained lyricism. As such the concert, tak-
en as an integral part of thethreetconcerts
on the series as a whole, seemed to repre-
sent an Adagio or a slow movement. This
was unfortunate since it came after the
high-spirited program of the Reginald Kell
players on Saturday evening. For Satur-
day's concert, with the dance-like character
of the Milhaud Suite, the driving and pene-
trating dynamism or color of Bartok's Con-
trasts, and the brilliant, beautifully obvi-
ous architectural clarity of Beethoven's Trio,
Op. 1 No. 3, functioned as a third move-
ment, a Rondo. Thus Sunday's concert, act-
ing as a slow movement, became anti-cli-
mactic. The only excuse for this kind of
programming would be that to justify com-
mercially the contrast of the Kell Players
with the Griller Quartet, the Kell Players
would naturally be placed between the two
concerts by the Griller. Such reasoning
rarely has musical validity.
Sunday's concert by itself as distin-
guished from the series as a whole was,
- however, respectable in all ways. It began
with five Bach fugues, from the second
volume of the Well Tempered Clavier,
which were lucidly adapted for strings
by Mozart. The Griller gave a clear and
straight-forward performance, though a
fast fugue would certainly have been wel-
comed since all five were very slow.
The afternoon's contemporary piece was
Edmund Rubbra's Quartet No. 2, but the
contemporary must be taken quite spar-
ingly. Rubbra, a British composer, does not
' compose in a strictly contemporary idiom.
The harmonies were late Beethoven,
Brahms, romanticism, nineteenth century,
as were the melodies and general mood. For
this reason the work was unable to commun-
icate much of living emotional content, but
was more an intentional archaism with-
out the vitality the nineteenth century had
for itself. But there was something unmis-
takenly contemporary about it. The big-
gest fault with works of similar nature, a
length and structure more tedious than the
most 'diffuse and verbose of late nineteenth
century masters, was not true of this piece.
Its length was carefully considered and
kept within bounds. The rhythmic energy
of the Scherzo seemed just the right thing
to keep work moving, and the timing and
general craft of string quartet writing were
most certainly not by an amateur to com-
position. The Griller gave an understand-
ing performance. ,
The Griller, perhaps not the best en-
semble technically, are capable of inter-
pretations that are alive, as their playing of
Beethoven's monumental lyric epic, the
Quartet in E-flat, Op. 127, demonstrated.
Giving emphasis to the points of total fo-
cus and mood change in the second move-
ment to give more lyric vent to its subse-
quent melody, and realizing the vigor and
vitality of the last two movements so neces-
sary to relieve the heightened tension caus-
ed by the intensity of the second movement,
they were able to give the work its proper
expressive and structural shape. Though all
this was occasionally clouded by imprecise
playing, particularly in the third movement,
or unsure attack, nonetheless the under-
standing was there. In fact this might eas-
ily sum up the artistry of the Griller, i.e.
keen interpretations with good but not
matching technique.

NANOOK OF THE NORTH, directed by
Robert Flaherty
IN 1922, an explorer with a camera left a
small trading post off Hudson Bay hop-
ing to find copper in the upper reaches of
Canada's snowy wastelands. The mineral de-
posits he discovered were of little commercial
value, but he returned with a film record of
the activities of an Eskimo named Nanook
which thirty-two years later is serving as a
keystone of a movie festival commemorating
the film work of the man who is today rec-
ognized as a major artist in the medium.
"Nanook of the North" is, simply
enough, the story of what an Eskimo does
in order to live. Since the conditions of
climate and land do not permit the Eski-
mo any additional activity but 4hat of
seeking his food, the film consequently is
a complete record of a way of living. Lifej
is hunting walruses, building igloos, calm-
ing hungry dogs-a thoroughly elemental,
unembellished existence, the purpose of
which is at all times clear.
Robert Flaherty's contribution to this is
a rare understanding of what Nanook's life
technique is startling only because he never
loses his place. He separates his characters
from strange, seductive habitats and
"quaint" native customs. Most of all, his
work has a point of view: it is one of opti-
mism, but never false optimism. He careful-
ly withdrew throughout his career from ev-
ery project that would have attempted to
neutralize the communication of his own
attitudes about what men were.
A demonstration of what makes Flaher-
ty an artist was supplied, unwittingly, by a
companion feature on the opening pro-
gram: "World Withoit End," a film de-
signed to show the work of the UNESCO-
organization around the world. Nominally
made "in the Flaherty tradition," the fea-
ture turned out to be a lengthy, disorgan-
ized hodgepodge that wore its good in-
tentions like so many ornaments.
In spite of the fact that the two sections
of the film (dealing with UNESCO work in
Mexico and Thailand) were directed by
highly regarded names, Paul Rotha and Ba-
sil Wright; the material photographed was
generally purposeless and the sound track
(with authentic folk music) practically ir-
relevant. Narration was condescending and

DULLES IS HAPPY-President Eisenhower has been advised
by John Foster Dulles that the Berlin Conference actually improved
prospects for peace with Russia-even though it failed to settle any
problems . . . . Dulles sent a special report to Ike at Palm Springs
saying that Molotov's stubborn stand in Berlin clearly shows the Rus-

will sit tight and make no aggressive move in Europe, for at least
one, perhaps two years . . . . (Not as reassuring as Igor Gouzenko,
who told me Russia was not likely to take the offensive for 10 years.)
