The Student Government Problem
Regents Action ...
FAILURE BY the Regents to mention the Laing
proposal for a Student Government Council at
its meeting this week raises two vital questions.
First of all, we wonder why the Regents did- nqt
consider the plan, which arose as an answer to the
manifest need for reorganization of student gov-
ernment. It is true that James A. Lewis, Vice-
President in Charge of Student Affairs, outlined
some reasons for the inaction.
If we knew the Regents were opposed to SGC,
we could draw the conclusion that they plan to
kill the proposal by putting off a decision until
students lose enthusiasm. But SGC would give the
administration tighter control over student govern-
ment than it now has, seemingly a necessary sacri-
fice for more effective student government.
Evidently, however, a hope that administration
control over an SGC can be tightened still fur-
ther prevents the Regents' merely turning thumbs
down. Unless the Regents are holding out for
changes in the SGC plan allowing even more
administration control, the reason why they
failed to act must lie in a desire to see SGC
fall by the wayside like the driving ban pro-
posals of the Student Legislature.
This brings us to the second question: What will
happen to the Laing proposal? The disappointment
that followed a summer of anxiety instead of the
decision that was to climax student, faculty, and
administration efforts for SGC has occasioned a
demoralization among many campus leaders.
Not all of them have been so affected. Some are
renewing their efforts to bring a decision next
month. But their work will not be enough, for the
work of only a few never is. All those who desire
SOC must shake off any inclination towards ar
"Oh, well" attitude and continue to press for a
Regential decision.
More than this, there must be an expression
of student opinion from the students themselves,
rather than only from organizations professing
to represent or portray student opinion. A con-
crete demonstration that student opinion is more
than just something that SL represents is need-
ed.
Maybe that would convince the Regents that SGC
Is important to us. And maybe they would give us
something besides silence.

them or not. Neither does the University believe
that respect for law is in conflict with freedom of
the mind. This is not an inquiry into the technical
competency of the men in question. It does not in-
volve any question of the right freely to investigate,
to arrive at or to hold unpopular views. It is a
question of relation to or involvement in a conspir-
atorial movement which, if successful, would sub-
vert the freedoms and the liberties which we hold
sacred."
Nickerson's Opinion
Prof. Nickerson released the following statement
to the press when he learned of the Regents' ac-
tion to dismiss him. "My dismissal by the President
and Board of Regents of the University of Michi-
gan establishes the administration's determination
to dictate the political beliefs and associations of
faculty members. This is clearly and simply a ques-
tion of freedom of belief. The President's implica-
tion that conspiratorial or subversive actions or be-
liefs were involved in the decision is completely
untrue. I have specifically denied, both before th
Clardy Committee and in University hearings, any
association with or belief in any objectives or meth-
ods contrary to the principles embodied in the
Constitution, and this fact has never been chal.
lenged except by innuendo and doubletalk.
"The President has charged that I have refused
to denounce the Communist Party. I had and will
denounce any part of the program of any political
party which is not directed at promoting the best
interests of the United States. I have refused as a
matter of principle to make a blanket denunciation
of any political party. Such blanket denunciations
seriously interfere with the intelligent discussion
and evaluation of issues.
. .."The action of President Hatcher and the
Board of Regents was directly contrary to the
unanimous recommendation of the Committee on
Intellectual Freedom and Integrity of the Univer-
sity Senate, which is specifically authorized by the
University Bylaws to handle cases of this type. The
action seriously questions the good faith of the Pres-
ident and Regents in setting up this committee pro-
cedure and strongly suggests that they had no in-
tention of considering Committee decisions that
did not agree with their preconceived ideas. This
action reflects the feeling of the President and Re*
gents that the faculty of the University of Michi-
gan is not qualified to evaluate the fitness and in-
tegrity of its members and has handed over the
responsibility of judging academic qualifications
to unscrupulous politicians.
"The fact that their decision was delayed for
nearly four months, to a large extent needlessly,
until a time when school is not in session,, Univer-
sity publications are suspended and a major part
of the faculty is out of town, makes it apparent
that this action by the President and the Regents
represents a calculated disregard for the opinions
of the University Faculty."
Shortly after his dismissal, Prof. Nickerson, his
wife and three children, sold their Ann Arbor
home and left the city.
The 37-year-old pharmacologist won the John
Abel Award for "most outstanding work in the
U.S. in the field of pharmacology""in 1949.

What Next, SL?...
WELL, Mr. and Miss SL member, where do we go
" from here?
The Student Legislature has suffered a serious
blow to its prestige, but one that places it somewhat
at a crossroads.
In endorsing a plan for reorganizing student
government on campus, SL has admitted that it
cannot; as it today is set up, attain the power it
feels the students should have. Its members, with
only two dissents, believe that the proposed plan
for a Student Government Council would at least
have a better chance of doing this.
But there is one catch. The SGC plan calls for
recognition by the Board of Regents and the ad-
ministration. As is now a well-known tragedy, that
recognition was not forthcoming at the Regents'
meeting last Wednesday.
It was not easy for SL to say, "We're not good
enough, something else is better." It is even harder
now for SL to say, "Well, maybe we are good
enough."
However they have little choice. They are still
the elected student government. To give up is to
leave the student body without any representing
group. To continue as it has, however, is to do so
in a climate of lowest esteem.
The answer lies perhaps in a third choice. To
continue, yes. But not as it has, a dispirited, un-
certain, wavering organization.
SL's greatest fault has been its seeming inabil-
ity to communicate and exchange ideas with the
student body. Certainly it has performed many
important, even vital, services. But too often it
has stifled ideas with an overabundance of talk,
and a scarcity of action.
Elections have become battles of campaign pos-
ters, not plans. Meetings have wasted precious min-
utes, and often hours, on stalling parliamentary
procedure.
And members too often have expressed greater
interest in public relations than any form of action.
This is a sad commentary on student govern-
ment. But even if it has fallen to the bottom, there
is even worse. The bottom could drop out.
If there is a possible way to change the state of
affairs, it is not with the so-called "renewed vigor"
or "continued action," SL members are currently
promising. What is needed is new action, new ideas,
and a new philosophy.
It is time that the Student Legislature look to
the students and their demands. The expecta-
tions and desires of the student body are regard-
ed by SL as some sort of mystery. But if SL
doesn't seem to know what the students want
it is because it rarely asks them.
While certain Legislators go about trying to stir
up interest in an open forum on the SGC-SL ques-
tion, an issue which students are showing a low
degree of interest, the Nickerson-Davis dismissals
are the subject of campus debate. Why not an ope
forum on this question? One was held last semes-
ter with a standing-room crowd taking part, and
another one would hold the same interest.
* Then what about football seating, women's hours,
and yes, even Bermuda shorts to name just a few
common topics 'of student complaint. If this is
what the students are interested in, it is the duty
of SL to be interested, too.
Students on campus will support the organiza-
tion that champions its causes. And if SL doesn't
know what these cause are, it must go into the
dormitories, quads, fraternities, and sororities to
find out.
Finally, what SL needs more than ever in this
period of uncertainty, is a strong, firm leadership.
Stalling SL members must be pushed, new schemes
and plans derived with less talk and more action.
The Student Legislature should invest every
effort now to achieve student recognition and
forget about any other recognition. If it can work
itself into adynamic organization, then the stu-
dents will follow it and back it. That is all the
recognition, all the power SL needs.
This is an admitted crisis and a crossroads. There
are only two moves open. Either new ideas and
back and forth communication with the students
will be tried, or SL may be forced to admit failure.
Well, Mr. and Miss SL member, where do we
go from here? -Murry Frymer

THE BLACK ROSE, with Tyronne Power, Or-
son Welles and others.
ONE OF THE happier aspects of movie-going is
the relative ease with which one can leave the
theater, light a cigarette and promptly forget about
the whole thing.
The lot of the critic is not such a happy one.
Faced with the task of preserving for posterity a
set of coherent impressions, this reviewer, for one,
found sitting through The Black Rose a singularly
tiresome business.
The film starts pleasantly enough. After The
Voice smugly tells us we are in Edward I's England
and that things are rough all over, enter Tyrone
Power brandishing a bare bodkin and bizarre hair-
cut; he is just home from college, we learn, and he
hates Normans and he is a Saxon and legally a
bastard and shades of Ivanhoe we think and settle
back comfortably.
When we open our eyes some moments later we
are in the Near East. Why are we in the Near East?
We don't know that, but by now it doesn't matter-
already we are crossing the desert, destination Chi-
na.
Mr. Power, forever the good mixer, has don-
ned a turban. The scene is buzzing with in-
fidels all speaking their native Infidel. Enter
Orson Wells with a dirty face. His name is Bay-
an, a character based, I suppose, on Atilla the
Hun. Iie.speaks Oxford English.
The Black Rose, who also goes by the names of
Mohammed and Miriam, is only a girl. She speaks
Eartha Kitt type French. She is a cute baggage.
The action at this time has to do with a hein-
ous plot of Bayan's which involves sacking China,
grabbing some gunpowder, scooting back across the
desert, blowing up $he walls of Rome, sacking
Rome and calling it a day. Yet throughout Mr.
The Young
Criminals
By WALTER LIPPMANN
STATISTICS collected by the F.
B.I. confirm the impression
made by the recent newspapei
stories of horrifying crimes com-
mitted by very young men. The
figures show not only a sudden
increase in the number of these
crimes but also in their vicious-
ness. In a survey of 200 cities, the
F.B.I. found that last year the
crime rate of adults rose by 1.9
per cent while among youths,
eighteen years and under, it rose
by 7.9 per cent. From 1952 to 1953
the number of assaults committed
by youths was doubled and there
was a sharp rise in murders, rapes,
burglaries, auto thefts, weapons-
carrying and liquor violations.
It is depressing and alarming,
and a lot will have to be done
about it. When we ask ourselves
what can be done about it, we
must not however look for the im-
possible. We must not expect a
"solution" of the problem in the
sense that vaccination is a solu-
tion of the problem of smallpox.
The criminal tendencies will al-
ways be there, re-born in each new
generation, *and the question is
how much these tendencies can be
kept under control and how far
they can be domesticated. The
teen-agers of 1954 are not differ-
ently constituted from the teen-
agers of the past or of the future.
If there is more crime and vice
among thematoday than there used
to be, it is not because there is
suddenly a more criminal andvi-
cious generation. It must be be-
cause there is less discipline, more
excitement, and more tempting
opportunities for vice and crime.
The tendencies which are latent
in every generation are in this
post-war generation less effect-
ively restrained and more actively
stimulated.
When we ask ourselves what
"we can do about the under-re-
straint and the over-stimulation,
I am not venturipg to think about
advising parents with direct, im-
mediate, and specific responsibility
for growing children. I am think-
ing of the general public which,
of course, includes the parents as
citizens, but is concerned with
general measures.
The problem is one for which
public remedies are most likely to
be found by choosing the more ob-
vious issues, and tackling them ex-
perimentally in various communi-
ties. The commissions of study
which will no doubt be set up are
likely to be more productive if
they can study the effects of prac-
tical experiments.
* * *
Enough is known about the
problem, so it seems to me, to jus-
tify our picking three lines of ac-
tion for the experiment. Not every-
one will agree, I realize, with the
proposals for action. But no one
can deny, I think, that action of
some kind is called for along these
three lines.
* * *
First. The law should be amend-
ed so as to hold parents liable to
punishment and fines for crimes
committed by their children. This
is stern doctrine. But it need not
and it should not be, nor is it
likely to be, administered too
harshly. These children are com-
mitting adult crimes, and if they
are too immature to be held res-
ponsible then the adults who are
responsible for them should be
held responsible for the offenses.
This liability should do something
to make the wayward parents, who
are letting their children run wild,
amenable to the teaching and the
preaching which they now ignore,
Second. The schools are the pub-
lic institutions which have to do
with the formation of character
and the learning of discipline. In
many American communities, ow-
ing to the weakening of the fam-
ily ties and of the authority of the
church and of public opinion in
the social order, the public schools
have had thrust upon them very
nearly the whole burden of civiliz-
ing the new generation.
They are not equal to the very
heavy and difficult burden of
performing the function not on-
ly of a school of learning but
also the older function of the
closely-knit family and of the
powerful church. A shortage of
our public education is grave but
this is too big a sub.iect for this
article. This much can, however,
be said briefly. If the schools
are to instill the discipline that
the family and the church are
not instilling, they must be giv-
en much larger disciplinary pow-
ers than they now have.
* * *
Third. There can be no real
doubt, it seems to me, that the
movies and television and the co-
mic books are purveying violence
and lust to a vicious and intoler-
able degree. There can be no real
doubt that public exhibitions of
sadism tend to excite sadistic de-,
sires and to teach the audiencet
how to gratify sadistic desires. Nor

Baha'i Anniversary
To the Editor:
We have recently been observ-
ing the efforts of many differing
sects to find certain common un-
derstandings in their religious out-
looks.
This same purpose, that of find-
ing a common basis upon which
the diverse religions of the world
could meet, motivated the estab-
lishment of the Congress of Reli-
gions of the Columbian Exposition
which met in Chicago in 1893.
Dr. Henry H. Jessup, who had
been a Christian missionary in Syr-
ia, gave a message of tremendous
spiritual import to the Congress on
Sept. 23, 1893 - some sixty-one
years ago.
To quote Dr. Jessup in part "In
the palace of Bahjii, just outside
the fortress of Akka on the Syrian
coast there died a few months
since, a famous Persian sage
named Baha'u'llah - the Glory of
God. Three years ago He was vis-
ited by a Cambridge scholar (Ed-
ward Granville Brown) and gave
utterance to sentiments so noble,
so Christ-like that we repeat them
. . . 'That all nations should be-
come one in faith and all men as
brothers. That the bonds of affec-
tion and unity between the sons of
men should be strengthened, that
diversity of religion shoulddcease
and difference of race be annulled
. . . Let not a man glory in this,
that he loves his country, let him
rather glory in this, that he loves
his kind.'
These words of Baha'u'llah
prompted a group of sincere
searchers after spiritual truth to
go to Akka in the Holy Land and
to question there the son of Ba-
ha'u'llah. This small band of peo-
ple became convinced that Baha-.
'u'llah was indeed, as He Himself
said, the "Promised One of All
Ages." To the Christian, the Jew,
the Buddhist, the Mohammedan
He was the One foretold in all
their holy books. In the words of
Krishna, which are almost identi-
cal with those of Baha'u'llah,
"Whenever the world declineth in
virtue and righteousness and vice
and injustice mount the throne,
then come I, the Lord, and revisit
My world in visible form and min-
gle as a man with men. And by My
influence and teachings do I de-
stroy the evil and injustice and re-
establish virtue and righteousness.
Many times have I thus appeared.
Many times hereafter shall I come
again."
The World Faith of Baha'u'llah
(Bahai means a follower of Baha-
'u'llah) does not belittle any of the
previous Prophets. It does not at-'
tempt to oust the founder of any'
faith from the hearts of his follow-
ers; nor to discard their revealed'
books. Its aim is to widen the ba-
sis of all the faiths by recognizing
the unity of their purpose.
In the words of the Founder of
the Faith "That which the Lord
hath ordained as the sovereign
remedy and mightiest instrument
for the healing of all the world is
"Some Day That'l1 All Be. Done By Atomic Power"

the union of all its people in one
universal Faith . . . one common
Cause . ..
The physicist, Dr. Glenn A.
Shook, states "No age ever had a
greater need for guidance, and no
faith ever offered more promise
than the Baha'i World Faith. Here
at last is the Faith which can com-
mand the respect and devotion of
both the scientist and the man in
the street."
September 23rd was the sixty-
first anniversary of the introduc-
tion of Baha'u'llah's teachings into
America. Today, Bahai's in over
1200 local cities in the United
States (from widely diversified ra-
cial, religious and ethnic back-
grounds) are proclaiming the dawn
or this new age of unity and peace.

LYL Protest ...
To the Editor:
As you probably know, President
Hatcher and the Regents fired Pro-
fessor Mark Nickerson and Dr.
Chandler Davis at a time when
the least possible student and fac-
ulty opinion could be voiced, as
very few students and faculty
members were in Ann Arbor.
Davis and N-ickerson refused to
answer questions of the Un-Ameri-
can Activities Committee on the
grounds of the First and Fifth
Amendments, claiming that the
Committee did not have the right
to investigate personal political be-
liefs, or to label people on the ba-
sis of test questions designed td
foster conformity.
In firing these two men the Uni-
versity administration has demon-
strated its desire to dictate the
political beliefs and associations of
its faculty members,
In the case of Professor Nicker-
son, the administration disregard-
ed the unanimous opinion of the
Committee on Intellectual Free-
dom and Integrity of the Universi-
ty Senate, which had voted in fa-
vor of retaining Nickerson.
It is of significance to note that
these attacks on the democratic
rights to think as one pleases and
to associate with whomever one
desires are being carried out under
the pretext of "fighting commnu-
nism."
The case is not closed, however.
We think that the tradition of in-
tellectual freedom at the Univer-
sity of Michigan can be restored
and preserved by the action of the
majority of students, faculty, and
friends off campus.
We urge protest to the firings
and indictment. We suggest that
every campus organization public-
ly protest immediately, send dele-
gations to President Hatcher and
the Regents, invite Nickerson and
Davis to speak, circulate petitions
for reinstatement, request civic
and labor organizations to back up
student protest, ask candidates in
the November elections to aid the
fight for reinstatement, and pe-
tition Attorney General Brownell to
drop the indictment of Dr. Davis.

Food Gripes ...
To the Editor:
The following was overheard at a
recent convention of dieticians:
"Thank you, girls. It is indeed a
pleasure to see your smiling, well-
fed faces this evening. You look
as though you have been having a
thoroughly delightful time this first
week of school. I imnagine you have
found the boys at the quad as hun-
gry as ever, and if you've remem-
bered my lessons from past talks,
we'll be able to keep them that
way for the rest of tie year. It's
really best for them, you know;
too much food isn't good for study-
ing.
"Today's topic will be a continu-
ation, of course, of our main theme
-economy. If there is one thing
we must stress, economy is it. Be-
cause apart from measures of
economy whatrneed would there
be for dieticians? We'd lose our
jobs. And then what would happen
to us, girls? We'd starve. Think
what we'd be like - like the boys
in the quad.
"Some idealistic snip of a girl
dared say the other day that her
job as dietician was to see that the
boys had well-balanced meals. I
tell you, that girl was putting em-
phasis in the wrong place, to the
neglect of economy. It is impor-
tant that the boys get well-bal-
anced meals, that is, well-balanced
to the budget. There is nothing
better for a boy than an economi-
cally well-balanced meal.
"But as a whole you girls are
doing a fine job. There have been
many complaints from some of
the more outspoken boys, but no
more& than usual. Do your best to
ignore them - as usual. As for
the inquiries about how we pre-
pare the food, I'd advise you not
to answer them, since the boys are
really better off if they don't know
exactly how it's fixed.
".. .One more thing I'd like to
mention. I stayed up about three ,
hours last night trying to think.of
it; couldn't get to sleep until I
did. Next time you serve the usual
two hot dogs, only serve 'em with
one bun."
At this I leaped from my hiding
place under the rostrum and yelled
in a loud and confused voice: "So
what's a guy gonna do with two
wienies and one bun?!" Then I
ran. The next day I suffered for
it: they served beefless beef stew,
which is much the same thing as
the meatless vegetable soup served
on Fridays, only a little thicker
and without the vegetables.
