OSED PLEASE find one boxtop. Here
my entry in your Name the School Con-
ms to me that Michigan State College
ally known as "Michiganstate." It is
e whose name is "Michiganstate." And
ame were changed to Michigan State
ity, presumably it would be a university
name was "Michiganstate." But the dan-
r is that pretty soon people would start
talking about it as "Michigan stateuniversity"
-the state university of Michigan, and we all
know that that is the school in Ann Arbor and
not the one in East Lansing.

HERE THEN, as you well know, is the situa-
tion: 1) MSC wants to become MSU. 2)
The University of Michigan rightly feels this
would be unfair and misleading. 3) Both sides
agree MSC has the minimum qualifications
of a "university." 4) However, the University of
Michigan insists the East Lansing "university"
be called something other than Michigan State.
Therefore I submit the following modest pro-
posal for a new name for the East Lansing in-
stitution. It satisfies the Regents' desire to dif-
ferentiate properly between the two schools. It
will also satisfy the East Lansing school's de-
sire to be known as MSU. The name is Margin-
al State University.
Respectfully,

SGC Must Overcome Lack
Of Voter Interest

ONE OF THE most extensive campaigns to
promote student interest in campus gov-
ernment ended in a rather dismal failure Wed-
nesday.
Despite the fact that the proposed, and later
approved, Student Government Council was
the leading topic of controversy in both Stu-
dent Legislature discussions and the columns of
The Daily, the result of all this heraldry was
this:
There were less candidates in this election,
and less votes cast than in the almost mean-
ingless SL election last December.
ONLY 6,070 students, about one-third of the
enrollment, took the trouble to vote. This
total, 700 less than in December, seems even
lower when it is considered that class officer,
union vice-president, J-Hop, Athletic and Pub-
lications Board elections were further incen-
tives to draw the voters to the booths.
Since the vast majority of students could
not have missed the emphasis that was being
placed on this election, it is interesting to spe-
culate Just why they didn't vote.
Most often cited is the lower number of can-
didates. This reason is a poor testimonial for
the state of student government. If students
are Voting only for friends, and less candidates
mean less friends, the entire government ques-
tion borders on the ridiculous.
But this we do not feel was a chief reason.
There were other, more important faults.
FOR ONE thing, the campaign carried on by
the candidates was extraordinarily dull. Ex-
cept for pro-cons on the benefits of campus
political parties, there was no common issue.
Some people argued that there just were no
issues, but it is more likely that most of the

candidates were ignorant of what the prob-
lems of student government are.
The general trend was of conservative-mid-
dle-of-the-road policies, and with but one or
two exceptions, all who diverged from this trend
were defeated.
EVEN THE somewhat 'liberal' Common Sense
Party, toned down its promises. And des-
pite the fact that all three of its candidates
won (only one for a full-year), it is very doubt-
ful whether CSP support played any part in
their wins.
So the campaign can be summed up as a
barrage of expensive posters, letters, and blot-
ters in which candidates sold themselves much
as Coca Cola sells soda pop. It was advertis-
ing, not ideas that constituted the appeal for
votes.
Another probable cause of the poor SGC
reception is the rather ambivalent attitude the
students transfered to it from its forefather,
SL.
Students are less interested in structure and
fundamentals than in action. There was little
to notify the voters what SGC would do that
SL couldn't or wouldn't. Since the candidates
weren't sprouting with any new policies, the
change in student government was interpreted
as a change in name only.
BECAUSE OF this poor reception, SGC is
unfortunately starting off on the wrong
foot. Instead of a "show-me" student attitude,
there is instead a "I don't care" feeling.
It might be a good yardstick with which to
measure the effect of SGC, to see what, if any,
increase in voting there will be next December.

DREW PEARSON:
U.S. Navy
Carriers
Vu 1 erab le
TWO SIGNIFICANT discussions
y have been taking place in
Washington, one public, one high-
ly secret. On both depend the
safety of the nation.
Discussion No. 1-Is the debate
in Congress right now over build-
ng more airplane carriers.
Discussion No. 2-Was a secret
meeting of admirals and high nav-
al officers at which it was admit-
ted the airplane carrier is more
vulnerable to enemy attack today
than during the last war.
The terrible tragedies that took
place on U.S. carriers where men
died by the hundreds during Kam-
ikaze attacks, are still fresh in the
minds of many. Yet the vital fact
that carriers are even more vul-
nerable to such attack today than
10 years ago was not conveyed to
the Congress which must decide
whether more carriers are built. It
was deliberately ,suppressed.
The main handicap which makes
the carrier more vulnerable, the
conference of naval experts de-
cided, is that it can no longer
ount upon radar to detect ap-
proaching enemy attacks.
This is partly because of the de-
velopment of jet bombers. They
fly faster than World War II
planes. Also, without whirling pro-
peller blades they are harder to
detect. Also, higher frequencies
have been adopted for search ra-
dar; the antennae are too small;
and the ships' motion prevents
stabilizing the search antennae.
What this means, admitted the
Navy's top experts at their secret
meeting, is that the chance of
warning a carrier against a jet
attack is "zero." Yet none of this
information was transmitted to
Congress which has to decide
whether the taxpayers should
spend millions on carriers or put
their tax dollars in other weapons.
Here are some other almost un-
believable facts:
The Navy is using almost as
many defensive aircraft to pro-
tect its 17 attack carriers as the
Air Force has been authorized to
defend half the continental United
States. Most Congressmen don't
know this, not because it's a se-
cret, but because they don't have
time to read appropriations hear-
ings. But to defend its 17 carriers,
the Navy will use 1,190 fighters.
To protect half the entire United
States, the Air Force has been au-
thorized only 1,275 fighters.
Furthermore, carriers are vul-
nerable not merely to air attack
but to submarine warfare. Proof
of this is that out of the 36 vessels
in a typical task group, the amaz-
ing total of 32 are assigned to de-
fense. Furthermore, if the task
force sticks together in tight for-
mation to avoid submarines, the
whole force can be destroyed by
one atomic bomb. But if the ships
are spread out to minimize the
effect of atomic attack, submar-
ines can easily slip through the
defense. This has got naval stra-
tegists in a dilemma.
The Navy's chief argument
against Air Force bombers is that
they are tied to land bases. Yet
the carriers are equally dependent
on land bases. In the Mediterran-
ean alone, the Navy keeps up more
than 40 land-based installations.

DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN


DRAMA REVIEW

It looks like the homestead has been saved. While the mortgage
is not yet redeemed and the plans for next year still not concrete, the
salvation of the Dramatic Arts Center is all but complete and every-
body is happy. What has happened since the company hit the worst
of its financial doldrums in January is something unusual in the
annals of theater stock companies. Rescue has come at the box
office, but not from the gallant knights like Shakespeare and Sophocles
nor from the coarse jesters like Kaufman and Abbott who customarily
are relied on for such services. Rather it has come from the least

likely of literary errants-the
ironic "intellectuals," the post-
philosophers of today. Anouilh,
Eliot, Fry and now Sartre are the
men who have saved the Dramatic
Arts Center. Irony is enthroned
and the more contemporary the
irony, evidently the better, as far
as Center audiences are concerned.
With the opening ofhJean-Paul
Sartre's "No, Exit," the big vic-
tory seems complete. This final
play is, like its three predecessors,
possibly dialectical and possibly
metaphysical. It is mystically re-
mote and still seems to provoca-
tive. While it is neither quite real-
istic nor quite fantastic, again
like the plays which precede it,
"No Exit" makes a firm beach-
head onrthe shore of the Lethean
half-world. Superficial charms
aside, however, the play is more:
it bears the stamp of expert crafts-
manship; it is intensely absorbing,
and it is well produced by the
Center company. If it also seems
at times selectively arbitrary, lim-
ited, and consciously unpleasant,
it is nonetheless an admirable tour
de force.
The setting of the play is a room
In Hell. Three people arrive to
share a sleepless eternity together,
damned as they are for no venal
sins: the man is a Fascist collab-
orator, a cruel and unfaithful hus-
band, and a coward; the older
woman is a Lesbian who has driv-
en her inamorata to suicide; the
younger woman is a society
nymphomaniac with an inffanti-
cide on her record. The condemn-
ed trio are, of course, confined to-
gether to act as tormentors for
one another in their Hell. For a re-
lentless hour and a half on the
stage, they engage and re-engage
each other in bitter combat; all
wish for escape from the room yet
finally when the opportunity
comes, they find they are so com-
mitted to one another, they are
actually unwilling to withdraw. At
last, when the lights igo down, it
is on the man's dogged cry: "Let's
get on with it! "
The aggravation for the aud-
ience in such a situation is inten-
tional, of course, and carefully
nurtured. At first, we are allowed
to be dispassionate and superior to

these people who are obviously so
much worse than we are; we are
sorry for them a little because
they are in Hell but are allowed
to believe for a while that the
punishment fits the crime. It is
only as we become absorbed in
them and their extremely terres-
trial entanglements that we un-
derstand Hell is right here on
earth, according to Sartre. The
audience, in other words, is drag-
ged into the situation just as the
characters are; their privacy is
tugged away from them and fades
just as the visions of past exper-
iences are shown fading from the
memories of the characters, as
they become engulfed in each
other. "Each man'salife dimin-
ishes me." Existentialism asserts.
As I am absorbed in others, I lose
that much of my own identity.
Still I may not withdraw from the
engagement, even though this loss
is the ultimate source of pain.
It is interesting perhaps that
this basic tenet of Sartre's was
controverted so recently on the
Center stage by Eliot in "The
Cocktail Party" where absorption
in externals (cocktail parties, so-
cial work, a job however corrupt-
ing) offers man his only chance to
achieve personal identity. The very
same things that give Eliot's char-
acters independence and a kind
of bourgeois self-realization de-
molish and crucify Sartre's peo-
ple.
The production, which was well-
paced and very adequately acted
by Joseph Gistirak, Irma Hurley,
Rica Martens, and Ralph Drischell,
had only one importapt failing:
this was an excessive catering to
the irony of the work. Through-
out the season, coherence has too
often been an objective less sought
after than condenscension. While
the audience will admittedly laugh
for relief during the final part of
the play, think they need not be
slyly encouraged. No amount of
Peter Pan prestidigitation will con-
ceal sophistry anyway and aud-
iences oughtn't be prodded into
saving Tinker Belle if Tinker Belle
is not worth saving.

MANY QUESTION the propriety of athletic
scholarships, while others condemn them
altogether. Many also accuse Michigan, along
with other Big Ten schools, of illegally sub-
sidizing athletes, football players especially.
Some irresponsible advertisement has said,
"Ask the man who knows." This is a good idea,
regardless of its source. So The Daily has ask-
ed Michigan Athletic Director Herbert O.
(Fritz) Crisler about athletic scholarships.
Specifically, we presented 11 questions to Cris.
ler. Here are the questions.
1.What is the theory behind athletic
scholarships?
THE IDEA is to provide ' full maintenance
through his college career for a student
in return for his athletic skill. This is done so
that he will be free to devote all his time to
studies and sports.
2. Do Big Ten schools give athletic scholar-
ships?
NO. The Conference has nothing called ath-
letic scholarships. Under Big Ten rules, "No
student shall be eligible (for intercollegiate
competition) who receives a scholarship, remis-
sion of tuition, prize, award, or other type of
unearned financial aid which is not awarded
by the same agencies, and by the same proce-
dures, as apply to all students in his institu-
tion,"
Scholarships are awarded mainly on an aca-
demic basis. Big Ten rules read, "No student
shall be eligible who receives any type of un-
earned financial aid . . . unless he qualifies
either by superior scholarship, or by a level of
scholastic achievement plus demonstrated
need."
Entering freshmen must be in the top one-
third of his graduating class to be eligible for
scholarship aid exceeding tuition and inciden-
tal expenses. To get aid not exceeding tuition
and incidental expenses, he must be in the
upper half of his high school graduating, class.
He must maintain a 2.5 average to keep a
scholarship for more than tuition and inciden-
tal expenses and a 2.0 to keep the other.
These scholarships are all awarded on an
academic basis. An athlete must apply for one
through a regular University scholarship grant-
ing agency, the same as any other student.
We have no such thing as an "athletic schol-
arship."
3. What would be considered illegal subsi-

SCHOLARSHIP AID allows players to attend
college and play football who could not
do so in any other way.
5. Of what value is a highly developed
football program to the University?
IF THE football program is on a sensible,
wholesome basis, it contributes as much as
any other extracurricular activity. It serves as
a focal point for a lot of students' interests
and loyalty.
6. To what uses are football receipts dele-
gated?
FOOTBALL RECEIPTS are used a) to carry
on a program for other sports, b) to pro-
vide plant and facilities for student recreation,
and c) to provide organized sports for all.
7. Would it be possible to continue a worth-
while intramural sports program if football
were de-empharsized and scholarship aid to
athletes reduced?
YES. But the intramural program would not
be as motivated. Many students now use
participation in intramural sports as a step-
ping-stone to varsity competition.
I say 'Yes,' because the plant and facilities
are already here. If we were starting from
scratch, it would not be possible.
8. Of what value is a large-scale intramural
sports program to the University?
IT PROVIDES recreation for all students,
and competition for those not well endowed
physically, or who do not have the time for
varsity sports. Varsity sports are to intramural
sports what graduate school is to undergradu-
ate school.
9. What projects, besides those included in
intramural or intercollegiate sports, has foot-
ball revenue made possible?
TENNIS COURTS which may be used by anW
student; golf courses, the new nine-hole
golf course; the Sports Building with facilities
available to the entire campus; the Women's
Athletic Building; and the new Women's Swim-
ming' Pool where among the things taught are
water safety and life-saving.
10. What are the chances of football reve-
nue ever being used for University building
projects such as dormitories?
THE REGENTS by-laws provide that "any
surplus funds from intercollegiate opera-
tions shall be devoted (1) to the further sup-
port of the various programs and activities car-
ried on with the Department of Physical Edu-
cation and Athletics, and (2) so far as possible

American newspapers said.
Remarking that KP and all oth-
er Soviet newspapers ran a large
editorial on the left side of the
front page, the American trio
asked the KP editorial board what
side of the page Soviet editors
considered "top play" position.
"The left side," a sub-editor
said.
"In the United States, editors
consider the right hand columns
to be the place for the top stor-
ies," Emond put in.
Quick as a flash, Gorunov shot
back with a chuckle: "It is well
known that we are always to the
left of you."
HIE Handles Plans

barred by security restrictions, but
will suggest places the visitors
might find most interesting,
May Festival Concerts
At the University, the HIE is
considering inviting the Russian
editors to attend some or all of
the May Festival concerts, besides
viewing the school itself.
Their thinking is that this might
overcome Soviet official distortions
about the absence of interest in
music, the arts, and culture in this
country.
The visitors will attend concerts
in New York, but the May Festival,
as a midwestern tradition, should
be more effective, an IE official
hoped.
HIE Seeks Advice
The IE has sought the advice of
recent visitors to the USSR in
making plans for the editors' tour.
One of them said the IE will
