FOU THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24. 1954 ._ n _ _ _..__ ... _.. .. .. _ .. Iete By HARRY LUNN Daily Managing Editor WHEN President Hatcher announced for- mation of the Student Affairs Commit- tee study group in October; observers clos- est to student government anticipated that the investigation would extend far beyond the SAC if a worthwhile evaluation were to be made of this powerful University commit- tee. The situation was not without prece- dent; just the year before a student commit- tee had spent months discussing the com- plex maze of student government and posed the question of extensive reorganization though it came to no solution. It was not surprising, then, that Profes- sor Laing, chairman of the SAC study committee, found it necessary to ask the President for authorization to extend the investigation and submit recommenda- tions encompassing the complete student government area. Indeed, the question is not over the necessity of reorganization, but the more fundamental issue of creat- ing an effective, coordinate student gov- ernment out of the organizations and tra- ditions of the campus and assigning this government the necessary functions and duties which by their nature fall within the area of student life and responsibility. Under the plan now being considered by the Laing committee, a group of perhaps 20 students forming the Student Executive Council would assume the functions of both SAC and the Student Legislature. The coun- cil would have perhaps seven presidents of student organizations to provide the "ex- perience" element, and 13 -elected members to lend the "representation" factor, though it is assumed that the small number of elected positions would encourage exceptional stu- dent leaders to run for election thereby bringing further experience to the council's work., It is contemplated that the elected stu- dents would head up major committees with ex officio members acting mostly as voting advisors. In this manner a whole secretariat could be set up under a well defined commit- tee structure, and the students having major responsibilities as president of their own groups would not be burdened with detail work. The council's president would be se- lected by the entire group from among the elected members. A review committee comprised of the council chairman, a faculty member and the Dean of Students (or the University Vice-President for Student Affairs if this position is created) would pass on the council's motions and nominations to Un- iversity committees. It is expected that under such a system the review board would leave wide discretion to the coun- cil in most matters as the group evolved and would consider only the most import- ant decisions of the council. If the council were financially supported and acknowledged by the University as the student government, and if it were not hin- dered by a paternalistic administration, an extremely effective student government could be created. The importance of the plan lies in its recognition of the ticklish suprem- acy situation on campus and of the lack of respect given SL in the past by the admin- istration. To the extent that these problems, insurmountable under the present chaotic student government situation, are success- fully solved, the change will create some ben- efits for the University community. But the council idea will not be a real improvement unless it has within it the spirit and ques- tioning vitality which the Legislature has brought the campus in its debates and reso- lutions on major campus problems over the last seven years. The council will be of no use unless it can effectively work, as SL did, for the Thanks- giving Holiday, extension of library hours and student participation on important Uni- versity committees. It must not be afraid to handle issues such as the bias clause problem, the final exam fiasco, the Lecture Committee problem, driving ban reform, and other questions to which SL has given its attention. In short, the council must do far more than coordinate, handle SAC regulations and take over SL appointment duties to be effective-it must also encompass the vast field of legislation undertaken by SL and have more attention paid to its de- cisions than have often been given to the Legislature's. Because the council idea can result in an effective student government with these qualities, it is important now for student leaders to work with the Laing committee toj ensure that the council plan fulfills its re- quirements, rather than to criticize .the planj before it reaches full development. Election Rules "IRREGULAR" ELECTIONS have so long been rumored a hall mark of Michigan it is difficult to believe the Legislature is really about to take one 'baby-step' toward honesty in future ballot-counts. Past election laws have been marked by such irregularities as failure to issue prospective voters registration cards cer- tifying they are able to vote and later refusing them the right to vote, "mis- takes" in the printing of election rules, failure to secure persons from both par- ties as vote-counters and direct refusal of challengers at the polls. If a proposal of Gov. G. Mennen Wil- liams passes the Legislature at least one of IT SEEMS TO ME: McCarthy vs. the U.S. Army- Is He Losing His Touch.? By ALICE B. SILVER Associate Editorial Director THE BOUT between McCarthy and the Army seems to be a draw. The Army isn't winning and McCarthy is losing. It isn't that McCarthy has begun to pull his punches. It's just that he isn't landing' them with the old force. The 'why' and 'so what' of this fact are crucial questions about the Senator. In his tussle with the Army McCarthy has gone too far. He has called a much de- corated general "a disgrace to the uniform." He has called the Secretary of the Army "a fine dupe." He has accusetl the United States Army if "coddling Communists." He has created a mythical spy ring at a U.S. Army base. Is McCarthy losing his touch? McCarthy needs two things to stay on top. McCarthyism is not a positive pro- gram; it is an attack. Therefore he must first have political enemies on a large scale. Second, he must point to a continuing national danger which he is uniquely able to diagnose and meet. These conditions were present when Truman was in the White House and Acheson in the State Department; when Mao was kicking Chaing out of China and winning in Korea. Then, few GOP members stirred when the Senator spoke of 205 Communists in the State Department. And they didn't squawk when he slandered Truman, Acheson and Marshall. Thus McCarthyism was made. But now the Republicans are in power. The names of Eisenhower, Dulles and Wil- son are not to be substituted. And his fel- low Republicans are not now willing to make room for the Senator's drive to per- sonal power. Also under Republican rule the supply of "subversives" to be "exposed" is limited. He must seek them elsewhere. He's tried and failed with the Army. No one gets upset about unknown GE employ- ees. He can't touch the big names or the big government agencies without risking party support. Is McCarthy on the way out? He has been chastised by the President for his intemperate attacks. The Admin- tration and GOP Congressman have tried to squeeze McCarthy out of the investigat- ing limelight. Last fall in his radio answer to Truman on the White case, the Senator made a des- peration move. He .presented himself as the chief issue in the fall elections. A man with strong cards would not have taken such a risk-the Democrats might well win. If the Democrats do win and if this does mean the subsequent decline of Mc- Carthy, there can be no complacency. It is easier to attack a man than an idea. Important factions of the GOP while fear- ing McCarthy's power drive, accept and use his methods. Joseph McCarthy may go. But his cre- ation will remain.

A jk' Hands Out to the Senator THIS IS A defense of, a justification for, and an appreciation of McCarthyism. One of the inherent paradoxes of every ideology is that its internal strength ebbs as it becomes more generally accepted This is a true of political ideals as it is of any, but perhaps it is most easily seen in the field of religion. The ideals of Christianity have long been accepted by the Western World, but where is there to be found the fervor and devo- tion of the early Christians that made it possible for the ideals to survive? The willingness to give up one's life for his convictions, to become a martyr for his idealsa is not even palely reflected in mo- dern man. The man who six days a week gets out of bed, wakes up, and goes to work, and on the seventh day gets out of bed, goes to church, returns home, and wakes up is too common to be ignored. Those who deliver sermons every Sunday recognize this problem. It seems, however, that the more you preach against apathy and indifference, the more apathetic and in- different people get. Apathy and indiffer- ence are unpleasant words which are never- theless apropos for the religious and moral attitude of today. This attitude could mean the eventual loss of Christianity's ideals, unless something comes along and wakes people up. Likewise in the political situation. The ideals of liberal democracy have Jiecome obscured by their apparent safety. Not many have been disposed to give con- scious thought to civil and political liber- ties, because they had lost their contro- versial aspects. Since no one objected to their existence for such a long time, es- pecially in this country, no one found it necessary to get excited about defending them. Apathy and indifference are again the right words . But in this case, there has been something- on the scene that has brought about a re- emphasis on the ideals of liberal democracy. That something is McCarthyism, which at- tacks liberty in the name of some under- fined ideal called Americanism. True Amer- icanism once was synonomous with civil and political liberty; now its meaning tends to- wards that of conformity. Despite the confusion that McCarthyism has undoubtedly effected, it has jolted the complacency of many people, which is the main point here. It has awakened many people who had taken freedom for granted as an untouchable fundamental into a re- alization that they had been taking it for granted. Many of these have cried out against creeping infringements on the free- dom which they had thought to be as per- manent as the electric light bulb. Not all of them have defended free- dom in the calmest and most intelligent manner, but neither has it been besieged in that way. What is important, however, is that freedom .is being defended and its delicate position recognized. Some of the protestations against McCarthyism have been coherent, and probably more will be. But, again, the significance is in the fact that the protestations are made at all. And it may be this that in the final anal- ysis saves the liberal democratic way of life. Logically, these protestations and this re- emphasis could not have happened if it were not for McCarthyism, or something like it. So, if liberty is preserved by this awakening to the peril of apathy and in- difference, we can thank Senator Joseph McCarthy and his fellow travelers. -Jim Dygert (Continued from Page 2) t Teacher Candidates: Mr. Truemner,1 Administrative Assistant in Flint, Mich- igan, Public Schools, will be on campus Thurs., Feb. 25, to interview all elemen- tary teachers and secondary teachers interested in Flint.

To the Editor SDEMOCRACY is a word that i { used rather loosely nowdays Governments of the totalitarian Left vociferously proclaim "Peo- ple's Democracies" which are, in fact, the very nemesis of democra- cy. Democracy, to them, means forced agreement, monolithic au- thority, and the ruthless suppres- sion of dissenting opinion. Again, the rejuvenated neo- fascist elements in foreign coun- tries, along with the fast-growing right-wing reactionary movement in this country currently manifest- ed in McCarthyism, have given lip- service to democractic ideals and methods, but resort to political persecution, suppression of free speech and similar devices to at- tain their sinister goals. The Student League for Indus- trial Democracy offers what it be- lieves to be a more valid definition of democracy: a society character- ized by democratic planning in the interests of the community-at- large rather than special interests, with full control of the economic and political life of the natiol vested in the People. A democracy is often killed by default. It is kept alive only through the active participation of all its members in all important phases of common life. Therefore, SLID, a non-partisan organization, seeks to promote greater active participation on the part of cl- lege students in the resolution of present-day social problems. SLID offers no sure-fire answer to these problems. It is frankly' suspicious of any "cure-all" de- signed to eliminate all social prob- lems in one fell swoop. It does subscribe, however, to the philos- ophy of John Dewey, its late Hon- orary President, which asserts that Man, as a rational being, is ca-' pable of shaping his own destiny; that the economic, social and po- litical systems of a nation needn't riccochet chaotically and perilous- ly under the guidance of non- existant "natural laws." With these broad aims in mind, SLID offers an urgent invitation to you to help us with fresh ideas and a non-dogmatic approach, to search for the solutions to our problems. The Michigan Chapter will be completely autonomous, free to carry out its own program. There will be an organizational meeting on Wed. night, Feb. 24, at 7:15 p.m. in room 3-S of the Union. -Arthur Cornfeld SLID's Job... To the Editor: THE LETTER to the editor con- cerning the organization of a Student League for Industrial De- velopment on campus interested me very much. Although I would be less severe than Mr. Seid in my condemnation of the existing po- litical organizations oncampus, I would agree with his general theme that these said groups have tended to become static. Of course, that is indicative of the attitude of the student body as a whole con- cerning such matters. Obviously, there is not a keen enough inter- est in the political and social prob- lems which face our nation today. There are a few who honestly try to make these organizations work- able, but a few is not enough. It is evident that there has been a pronounced lack of new ideas in- troduced into our University om- munity in the past year. How much real debate and discussion (two of the fundamental safe- guards of our liberal society) have taken place on campus this year over the crucial probleis of state? How many members of these or- trips, picnic, etc.). Michigan Union, Room 3-M, 7:30 p.m., Thurs., Feb. 25. Refreshments. All interested are invited. Kappa Phi.

It seems that SLID may be able to offer an answer to this prob- lem. At least I sincerely hope so. The program as outlined seems to be a good start in the right direc- tion. What we need desperately these days is a new approach to our problems; the old way has proven itself a failure. Above all else we need intelligent criticism, and if SLID can criticize intelli- gently and supply a new program of action, it will have my full sup- port. If the organization does nothing more than create an in- tellectual ferment on this campus, I would say it has performed a great service for the University. -Arthur White * * * On Chanplain .. To the Editor: CONCERNING Mr. Lawrence's letter Sunday, I would suggest prior to the gentleman's "huge leaps in logical assumption" that he make some effort to establish the accuracy of his own initial statement. Champlain College was intend- ed to be a permanent institution. To substantiate this statement may I quote: "Gov. Dewey approved today the master plan of the State Univers- ity's Trustees for establishing four year liberal arts colleges at Plattsburg and Endicott . . . his approval cleared the way for set- ting up the four colleges as per- manent members of the State Uni- versity System. "Champlain College, which has been operated at Plattsburg by the Associated Colleges of Upper New York, is scheduled to come into the State University System as a permanent four year liberal arts college about June 1st .." (New York Times April 26, 1950) As a former student at Cham- plain, I can verify that the college was integrated into the State Uni- versity System on June 1st, 1950. While I do not wish to be associ- ated in any attempt tht the L.Y.L. may make to overthrow the American Way of Life, I was, na- turally, somewhat indignant at the slanderous attack on a former educational instituion which was, unhappily, liquidated by the com- bined power emanating from up- per New York state militarism and Gov. Dewey's desire to balance the budget. -Max Mazur A Difference . .. To the Editor: RE: Sobeloff's article on crowd- ing of sardines and various other animals: 1. Since sardines are dead they are immobile. 2. Since students are alive they are mobile. 3. Since students are human they are naturally gregarious. 4. Since architects are designers of structures they are not respon- sible for the movement of people therein after construction. I propose then that, if students would at least momentarily re- strain their urge for social inter- course while in the lobby of Ma- son Hall and use their God-given mobility, architects would no long- er be compared to sardine canners and students no longer compared to sardines (which lack the ability to alleviate their crowded condi- tion.) -W.

You also have to know something about that little motive called revenge, never quite absent in politics. 1 First, let It be noted that this writer, who predicted May 24, 1953, that Earl Warren would be appointed Chief Justice, believes he should have been confirmed long ago. I disagree most emphatically with both Langer and my contemporary, Westbrook Pegler, who claims Warren is not fit to sit on the Supreme Court be- cause he once wrote a letter to James Petrillo, head of the Musicians Union. Warren has one of the finest records of any man in public life today, as has been noted time after time in this column; and the Republicans would have won had they nominated him for President in 1948 instead of Tom Dewey. However, politics being what it is, and the Senate having been given the power to pass on judicial nominations, let's take a look at the motives of the colorful and unpredict- able Senator from North Dakota. They were two: Motive No. 1 was to show some of his colleagues what it's like to smear unsub- stantiated charges on the Congressional Record, as McCarthy has been doing. Few Republican Senators have protested when McCarthy poured all sorts of reckless and unverified charges into the record against Gen. George Marshall, Dean Acheson, and scores of others. Langer, who has never gone along with McCarthy on these, figur- ed that what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Motive No. 2 was to retaliate against his fellow Republicans for what they did to him. LANGER DANGLES NOT SO MANY people know it, but when the Republican Senate convened one year ago, Langer was the only Republican not permitted to take his seat except con- ditionally. Senator McCarthy was permitted to take his seat, despite one of the most devastating reports ever submitted against a fellow Senator. But when a group of Republicans from North Dakota, headed by Joe Bridston of Grand Forks, came to Washington to pro- test Langer's election, various Republican The Kaffee Stunde of the Deutscher SL Academic Freedom Sub-Commis-
