Fundamental objections as enunciated by Regent Bonisteel centered on probably confusion inherent in having two Universities in one state. Actions indicate the Regents consider this name change an important issue. They con- sumed most of their last meeting talking about the alteration and last spring even called a special meeting to discuss the problem. The Regents are completely overestimating the import of the change. Their objections seem to border on pettishness. Michigan State (of- ficially Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science) qualifies as a university. The school is definitely more than its present name implies. State has a literary college, en- gineering school, business administration school, hotel management school and graduate school. CONFUSION ALREADY exists between the names of the two schools, simply because they are both major schools and both are in Michigan. Commonly the two schools have always been referred to as Michigan and Mi- chigan State. This wouldn't change by replac- ing college with University. Recently Pennsylvania State College changed to Pennsylvania State University without much resultant confusion. Florida State University and University of Florida and Ohio State Uni- versity and Ohio University also exist together without too much difficulty. Students here should not quibble with the name change. Confusion is the surface argu- ment but there seems to be underlying inclina- tion to begrudge State equality as a Univer- sity, because of some "lack of intellectualism." More time spent building our name and less fighting State's would have a more beneficial effect. --Dave Baad Jim Dygert Murry Frymer Michigan State University stressed that we in Ann Arbor recognize that MSC does not have university status; only the uninformed will take the position that MSC should not be given the name "University." In terms of grad- uate programs it has university status. The main reason for taking the stand the University officially has taken is one of avoid- ing confusion. President Hatcher has cited in- cidents in New York, Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio where there is a state university and a state land grant college that have names as similar as the University of Michigan and Mi- chigan State University and serious confusion has resulted. It is with the aim of solving the Michigan problem in an adult manner that officials from the two schools are planning a meeting to dis- cuss the name of MSC. Instead of bickering about the title Michigan State University, we hope a complete change of name for MSC that includes the word "university," will be accepted. STUDENTS IN East Lansing are doing some work on this issue. An announcement in the Michigan State News says that the words "MSC" and "Michigan State College" will no longer be used in the student publication. The editors undoubtedly feel that in refusing to use the name "college",.they will lead the legislators to give them the name "university." Their aim is admirable, their approach rather naive. By refusing to use the word "college" now they are solving nothing but an ego problem. The editors of the News are further urging that the student body in East Lansing join the forces of fighting for the name "university" by writing to anyone they think will write to state's legislators. They feel that "the educa- tional prestige of Michigan State's graduate school is impaired and its progress handicap- ped, and the graduates of Michigan State in many areas are handicapped in seeking em- ployment through those (the name) circum- stances." The students at MSC should .realize that the title of a school from which one gra- duates is not the primary consideration an em- ployer gives to someone applying for a job, but rather the quality of whatever school one has attended and achievement at that school. If MSC standards do not speak for themselves, the addition of the name "university" will in no way help. * * * By PAT ROELOFS Associate City Editor. T HE BOARD of Regents, opposing for the second time in a year, a proposal that the name of Michigan State College be changed to BE NICE TO SCIENTISTS: Need for Atomic Secrecy Limited to Details DREW PEARSON: KC Star Ad Policy Checked WASHINGTON - Congressman Wright Patman's Small Busi- ness Committee is taking a careful look at what happened to small business in Kansas City when the Kansas City Star cracked down on companies that advertised with other newspapers. The Congressmen are interested, not only in what happened to the small weekly papers such as the Catholic Register and Johnson County Herald which had their advertising yanked out as a re- sult of the Star's bulldozing, but also the small businessman in Kansas City who was told he couldn't advertise in anything but a high-priced daily. The Star and its advertising manager, Emil Sees, have now been convicted criminally for vio- lation of the antitrust act, after Roy Roberts, publisher, was excus- ed from facing trial on the last court day before the trial opened. Dismissal of the indictment against Roberts followed the same pattern as the recent indictments against Texas Governor Allan Shivers' friend, E. H. Thornton, and Texas grain dealers just be- fore they were to face trial on charges of selling inedible grain as grain fit for human consump- tion and for cheating the U.S. Government out of $1,700,000 in subsidy payments. Governor Shivers lunched with President Eisenhower shortly be- fore the indictments were dismiss- ed. Roberts, an early Eisenhower booster, had attended many of the President's stag parties and was a White House visitor shortly be- fore his indictment was dismissed. Meanwhile here are some of the facts developed at the Kansas City criminal trial of the Star which the House Small Business Com- mittee is scrutinizing: RADIO Competition - Tom Ev- ans, owner of KCMO Broad- casting and of the Crown Drug Co., testified that when he applied to the FCC for higher radio pow- er he was twice summoned to the Kansas City Star by its treasurer, Earl McCollum. "He was quite upset," testified Evans, "that we were going ahead with facilities for increasing pow- er. He told me he didn't think I had any business whatsoever in the radio business." After that, Evans testified, he found that the Star carried less and less of his radio listings until he called on the Chairma of the Federal Communications Commis- sion in Washington who wrote a letter to the Star. Thereafter KC- MO's radio listings were published. Later, Evans' Crown Drug Co. Inserted a double-page ad in the Kansas City Journal-Post, where- upon Evans said that he was sum- moned to the office of McCollum who warned: "I want you to dis- continue it"-referring to the Journal-Post ad. Evans refused. "Well, then," McCollum was quoted as saying, "you cut your advertising (in the Journal-Post) in half." McCollum even threatened to withdraw a double-spread in the Star given the Crown Drug each Friday un- less Evans complied. Eventually the Journal-Post was forced out of business. RELIGIOUS newspaper competi- tion - Another witness, H. R. Arnoff, operator of Lullaby House, a group of children's §tores, tes- tified that when he inserted a small ad in the Catholic Register he was called down to the Star and thereafter discontinued his advertising in the Catholic Re- gister. "We didn't want to lose the space we were getting in the.Kan- sas City Star," Arnoff testified. WEEKLY newspaper competi- tion-Tom Crawford, a retired dress shop owner, testified that he had advertised in the Johnson County Herald, a weekly; in the Kansas City Kansan, then owned by Sen. Arthur Capper; and in the Independent, a weekly. He said he was also spending about $125 a week in the Kansas City Star, com- pared with $30 or $40 a week in the county weekly, $16 to $25 a month in the Kansan, and $18 to $20 a month in the Independent. But he found that the position. of his ads were jumped around in the Star. When he complained, the Star's advertising manager, Emil Sees, replied: "Well, Tom, if you don't start behaving yourself it's going to get a lot worse" "What do you mean?" Craw- ford asked. "You've got to quit wasting your SECRECY IS becoming a lost art. It's even becoming difficult to keep secret for long that things aren't being kept secret. We now know that former Britisher Bruno Pontecorvo has spent the last four years of his secret life dispensing secrets to Russian scientists. What secrecy has lost as an art, it has gain- ed as a science, and science seems to have gained too. Because of Pontecorvo's love for dangerous fun and games, the science of nu- clear devastation is 18 months to the good in the Soviet, experts estimate. The moral of the story seems to be that we either give up developing new and better ways to kill people or keep our scientists in irons. Neither of these answers seems very likely. Our greatest hope probably lies in keeping a favor- able balance of trade in spies, imports exceed- ing exports. A PERFECT answer would involve an elimi- nation of war and the turning of spies in- to less entertaining professions. This would also remove such hazards as Pontecorvos en- tering the profession from an uninspiring life as an atomic scientist. Pontecorvo no doubt had reasons for trans- ferring his allegiance-atomic scientists are reportedly much underpaid. There is notreally ,much a nation can do to prevent this sort of thifig, no matter how elaborate the security system. In fact, the more elaborate the se- j LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, curity system, the more inclined is the scien- tist to imagine he isn't appreciated where he is and to look elsewhere for opportunity. PROBABLY THE best way to keep our sci- entists and their knowledge, and their se- crets, to ourselves is to make living as pleasant as possible for them. This entails no more than allowing them what they are entitled to, the liberty accorded any person in this coun- try and the compensation merited by their worth. Even this writer, who dislikes war, can see the value in keeping secrets; especially atomic ones. He even likes to believe that the extent of our secrecy on matters atomic will determine the probability of war. The more secret we remain, the less likely the war. This does not mean keeping secret the effects of atomic war- fare, or our general preparedness, but the technical details which only scientists can un- derstand anyway. THAT SECRECY is becoming a lost art is not in general to be deplored. But it's secrecy in matters such as atomic information that needs to be kept. Our iTation must not let its general distaste for secrecy obscure its duty to keep some things secret. Nor should it let an obsession for secrecy on these matters ob- scure the proper way to keep it. -Jim Dygert "Boss, Do You Want To See Government Get Ahead Of Private Enterprise?" ,* ' ~/- UNIVERSITY PUBLICATION: Objective Study Explores, 'The Right To Counsel' 1JHE RIGHT to Counsel in American Courts by William M. Beaney deals mainly with the fate of those who in one way or another are not adequately represented by counsel while they are in the process of being arraigned, tried, convicted, and jailed. The study has little to do with the "bad man" who usually exploits to its fullest his right to counsel. As the author points out, counsel for the professional criminal may even be waiting at the station house or county jail by the time the arresting officer arrives with his client. But what of the indigent, the young, the ignorant, the frightened, the confused? It is the problems presented by these people plus other related problems which Dr. Beaney has set himself to answer. His general answer is that this vital right to counsel in criminal cases is not enjoyed as consistently and as widely in the United States as the needs of justice would seem to require. His meticulous and Dorm Financing. To the Editor: WKE BELIEVE that the issue of room and board rate increases in the Residence Halls merits bet- ter treatment than it received at the hands of the IHC. As a group well acquainted with the Residence Halls, we feel it our duty to ex- press our opinions. 1) We are pleased by the direct statement of fact by the Admini- stration on their new ideas for fi- nancing Residence Halls and their willingness to discuss plans for fu- ture expansions. Since, in the past, future expansion was financed by bonds which would be liquidated by the students deriving the bene- fits of a new residence hall, we would like some more information as to why it is now necessary to de- viate from this.' 2) We believe that pre-financing of Residence Halls will cause fi- nancial hardships on a large por- tion of the student body. Ann Ar- bor's cost-of-living is now among the highest in the nation, and in- creased Residence Hall rates will undoubtedly cause a general rent increase and thereby push the cost-of-living lip even more. It is not probable that the student body can look forward to financial re- lief in other areas (i.e., a Univer- sity book store) and for many the present cost-of-living level is the maximum which will allow their continued participation in this University community. 3) We feel what the IHC has al- ready done has consisted of too much 'railroading' and 'politick- ing' and that they have lost sight of their duty to promote the wel- fare of the students behind them. The prestige of the IHC in the eyes of those outside the organiza- tion is of secondary importance to this fundamental duty. The tack- ing on of the 'conditions' to the approval of the rate increase is not worthy of IHC. Ideas, such as these, should be an integral part of IHC's policy for quad improvement and not something to pull out of the grab-bag when a major issue Sixty-Fifth Year Edited and managed by students of the University of Michigan under the authority of the Board in Control of Student Publications.

To the Editor: THE FOLLOWING may or may not represent my own feel- ings; however my only purpose is to point out what I believe to be some inconsistencies in the logic used concerning the recent letters protesting the appearance of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. First, although the past affilia- tions of von Karajan and von Westerman have been expounded upon in length, no one has yet mentioned Walter Gieseking. I do not know whether Gieseking was actually a member of the Nazi Party; but he did remain in Ger- many of his own choice and I am sure that he performed for Hitler no fewer concerts than did von Karajan. Many of Gieseking's re- cordings on Columbia records are with von Karajan. Gieseking is scheduled to appear here shortly after the Berlin Philharmonic, yet I have heard no protests concern- ing his appearance. He did have a great deal of difficulty when he first came to the UnitedStates after the war but for the most part these difficulties have been overcome. Also, Mr. Gieseking is generally regarded and is more well known as a musical "great" than is von Karajan. I wonder if the desire to hear a widely ac- claimed musician takes precedence over the self-righteousness of these letter writers. Second, if the LYL feels justified in protesting the appearance of this orchestra, then if and when the Russian State Or- chestra appears for a tour of the United States, I shall feel equally justified in protesting their ap- pearance with no squawk from the LYL. True, Communists and Fascists hate one another; how- ever we sometimese tend to forget the similarity between the two. One police state is just like any other police state no matter what guise it hides behind. -Alan Stuart Ross * * * . For Repair... To the Editor: THE OTHER day ADC voted to' accept the recommendation that board and room be upped another $50. The extra money is to be used to finance a new dorm. At the same time a plan is under- way to cram still more women in- to the existing dorms. Dorm fees were raised about two years ago but the necessary repairs in Jordan remain undone. Nearly every sink has a leaky stopper and between 10:15 and 10:45 p.m. the fifth floor is wat- erless. The light fixtures are out- dated giving us a sickly yellow to study with in these modern days of daylight bulbs and the like. This is particularly acute in our lounge and ping-pong rooms where ancient wall fixtures and an inad- equate supply of equally ancient table lamps are all we have. Many of our facilities are over- taxed, most prominent among these being our laundry room, cafeteria and phones. The laun- dry has three machines and six or seven drying racks which made laundry doing an ordeal for it is a perpetual no space problem. Our cafeteria lines last 15 minutes for about sixty women because the cafeteria is not set up to serve so many people (240 in Jordan exhaustive documentation of lit- erally hundreds of cases, statutes, constitutions, and other pertinent materials shows that his findings may be confidently used by law- yers and laymen alike. FROM the time of arrest to the time of sentencing and even through further appellate process- es in some cases it is obvious that many overlapping"and conflicting issues arise. They are not merely legal but also in a very real sense social For the concept of the right to counsel embraces unescapably the beginning of a series of events which at some time during its progress proper professionalnguid- ance might have turned, or caused to be deflected, towards a more fortuitous solution. Nearly all such cases arise from at least bad so- cial situations. Surely everyone, not just the courts, the bar asso- ciations, legal aid societies and the like, has a vital interest in seeking the best possible disposi- tion of these cases. It is noteworthy with respect to to the social significance of this study that it shows great numbers of criminal convictions of unde- fended persons to be peculiarly an urban and not a rural phenome- non. Apparently rural bars generally and for the most part adequately take care of indigent defendants. It is significant, therefore, that the office of public defender- an official having assistants aid a clerical staff, whose duty it is to defend indigent persons accused of crime-is characteristic of ur- ban areas and some of the larger cities. The office was first established in Los Angeles County, California and has spread to other urban areas such as Cook County, Illi- nois and to some of the larger cities: Providence, St. Paul, St. Louis, Tulsa, and Indianapolis. Similar offices on a state-wide basis now exist in California, Con- necticut, Mississippi, Nebraska, Virginia, and Illinois. IN SPITE of recent improvements which have tended to miti- gate the worst results of trial and conviction without benefit of counsel, Dr. Beaney reveals the shocking fact that even today the rules in only some of the more enlightened jurisdictions provide that waiver of counsel is not pre- sumptive of due process of law. And it is really almost indecent that some jurisdictions retain the rule that a plea of guilty presumes the waiver of right to counsel. The fact remains, however, that .L any Indigents arrested insist on plead- ing guilty. Perhaps they seek a catharsis similar to that sought by those who, upon becoming overwhelm- ed with unfamiliar or complex situations, join a foreign legion, marry, enter the University or, conversely, withdraw from school. Whereas in the case of those ac- cused of crime, concludes Dr. Beaney, there is no ironclad assur- ance that they are competent to plead guilty or to waive counsel. Probably the best solution, if flexibly administered, would be to require counsel in every criminal case. No one seems to have ser- iously suggested, this. The study makes it clear, however, that such a solution is the actual result under a public defender system in a large city. BUT WHAT is to be done when a defendant insists upon his right not to have counsel? By way of illustration, in a case with overtones of unexampled romance, a defendant twenty-two years old convicted of violating the Mann Act where his wife was the victim demanded counsel be dismissed. This interesting colloquy followed. Defendant: "I would like dis- missal of this attorney. I'm with- in my right." Court: "I've as- signed him." Defendant: "I refuse to accept him." Court: "Sit down." If a defendant does not have counsel the court must assume those duties. This study maintains it to be an "ancient myth" that a judge can act as both judge and advocate. In view of the long tra- dition and practice of English judges actively participating in cases before them there is, of course, greater reason to suppose they can discharge this dual func- tion fairly effectively. In American practice where judges are fre- quently mere referees the point rests upon firmer ground. In spite of implications which the facts revealed in this study might support, it is no sly encour- agement to creeping socialism nor clever criticism of alleged failures of our American courts and law- yers. It represents the best tradi- tion of critical and objective schol- arship in legal and political science with the additional virtue that it doubtless will prove use- ful to the practicing lawyer as an authoritative handbook on the questions it discusses. It is there- fore a worthy addition indeed to the History and Political Science Series of the University of Mich- igan Publications. -Prof. William R.

IN THE PAST few years British filmmakers have found a vast market for the quaint, little British comedy. Titfield Thunderbolt, a 1953 release, has been done in such a comedy's idiom. The *story concerns a little English village where pride for the local train-the Titfield Thunderbolt, a decrepet, old-model engine- has fostered-a kind of pseudo-provincial close- ness among the citizens. When an announce- ment is posted to the effect that the Titfield Thunderbolt is to be replaced by a bus, local citizens gather together with wounded pride,, determined to run the engine themselves. MOST OF the film is concerned with the dif- ficulties which the citizens encounter, such as losing a motor and a wheel.

"Tonight's the Night" goes merrily on its way Filmed in its Irish locale, the assorted char- acters, genuine Irish characters, keep the pic- ture at an enjoyable level. The story is concerned with a new land- owner and his relations with the townspeople. The industrious people (shooting and drinking) find that their old way of life disappeared with the death of the old landowner. When they find they must pay off their old debts, can no longer poach on the manor land, and are no longer stood to any drinks at the local pub, they decide that "someone should murder that man." The fumbling attempts at murder and the various backfirings lead to one funny situation after another. And the surroundings make for the perfect time for the ghost to walk-"to- night's the night."
