There has been little excitement 'about academic freedom on this campus for several months. McCarthy has not accused anyone of being subversive for a long time. Investiga- tions of University faculty members and stu- dents have seemingly ended. But the problem of academic freedom still exists. There are influential people on this campus who believe that past membership in the Communist Party is reason for dismissal from the faculty. There are influential people on this campus who would dismiss any "fellow- traveler," (using their own definitions for this word) whether he were indoctrinating others with his political beliefs or not. THE PROBLEM of "who shall teach" exists at other colleges and universities, too. A review of academic freedom issues in the past year shows that not a few schools have dis- missed faculty members who refused to dis- close political affiliations they had severed be- fore taking jobs at these schools. Failure to disclose one's present political beliefs also caus- ed the unjust dismissal of many. Just because the McCarthys and Clardys Censorshipo Sets Danger CENSORSHIP, whether in the name of good taste or idealogical conformity, is an ex- tremely dangerous precedent. Recent events on three college campuses demonstrate a lack of understanding of this danger and also of the role a newspaper should play. A newspaper's duty is to report events ac- curately and on its editorial pages to comment on the significance of these events as it sees them. Its columns should be open to anyone who cares to express disagreement with its point of view. It is not a newspaper's respon- sibility to express the majority opinion (this is the responsibility of an elected representative body). It makes no difference whether the community agrees or disagrees, it is only im- portant that those who disagree be given a chance to answer. This method is the only way to insure honest expression of opinion. Censorship is the surest way to suppress honest expression. AT CORNELL University a faculty group re- cently placed restrictions on the college humor magazine for an article ridiculing soror- ities, while publication of the Illinois Technol- ogy News was suspended by another group of professors because it printed a cartoon and an articles which the committee called "doubtful." University of North Carolina student legislators are currently investigating The Daily Tar Heel, largely because they disagreed with its political point of view. The paper, they said, is a "se- cond Daily Worker." U.S. Shouldn Quernoy. i i SHOULD THE United States go to war in order to defend Quemoy and Matsu? The answer is no. Adlal Stevenson indicated in a recent speech tliat we should defend Formosa and let these small islands go. Perhaps, eventually, we will have to fight. But why start a war over ter- ritory that is described by the Secretary of Defense as having little significant military value? The possibility of atomic warfare also enters the picture. Would we want to unleash these powerful weapons to defend obscure islands? ALIENATION of our allies could be the re- sult of the present policy followed by the administration. These countries not only pro- vide raw material but give us a source of moral CURRENI At Architecture And. . . THE RED INN, with Fernandel AT the end of this movie, the voice which began it sings us the moral: God takes care of his own-the simple, the pure in heart. It is sufficient proof of Director Aut- ant-Lara's skill that this pious and unassum- ing moral fits so easily on his complex and beautiful movie. For out of the combination of murder mystery and fairy tale, ghost story and farce, he makes somethink profoundly simple and moving. The first few scenes are a tableau of horror and mirth. A lonely organ-grinder is murdered for his little money by rude and savage coun- try inn-keepers. His monkey is not so easily subdued however. He leaps out onto the snowy roof, bedevils them with his screeching, baf- fles their clumsy efforts to dupe him, and finally escapes into the night. This is, in little, the whole movie. and Jenners have calmed down doesn't mean their smearing and indiscriminate investigat- ing didn't have an effect. The investigators were successful in begin- ning a Red scare. While they sit back and look over their handiwork, perhaps even plan- ning the next step in their investigation activ- ities, their procedure has seemingly fallen into perpetual motion-it spreads from one cam- pus to another, and competent professors fall to the wayside, ACADEMIC FREEDOM week should serve to remind us that only a year ago the prob- lem of academic freedom was very real to us at Michigan and that the results were dis- astrous: the dismissal of H. Chandler Davis and Mark Nickerson. The activities of the week will include dis- cussions of academic freedom and political freedom, the problem of conformity, and the issue of constitutional rights.'We can more ably work to maintain freedoms and to fight political conformity and pressure if we renew our contact with the existing problems at these meetings. --Pat Roelofs "We Saved Four Million Dollars On The U. N. Technical Assistance Program" -- DAILY OFFICIAL B ULLE TIN Y ' } : _ . f :. . wI ;# c" f 'Bad Taste' ous Example The censors have lost sight of the principals of free expression and their respective com- munities are likely to suffer. Students will be more careful in the future about expressing unconventional or briginal ideas. And censors have forgotten the dangerous, if somewhat re- mote, possibility that they have set a precen- dent and similar tactics may be used to sup- press their own point of view in the future. CORNELL and Illinois committees declared that the publications they clamped down on were in "extremely poor taste." Censorship in the name of "good taste" however, must be more carefully guarded against than the less subtle, methods of groups like the North Caro- lina student legislature. The legislators ad- mitted that they did not like The Daily Tar Heel's opinions. But it is not unknown for censors to define divergence from their point of view as "bad taste". If this is not what faculty members in Illinois and at Cornell were actually doing, they have at least set a precedent which can be -used to suppress opinion in the future. Freedom of the press, has, admittedly, been abused in many instances. But the abuses are the price (in the long run a relatively small one) which democracy pays for the precious privilege of freedom of expression. Censor. ship is seldom a desirable method of fighting such abuses, for there is no guarantee that the censors themselves might not some day be guilty of even greater abuses. -Phyllis Lipsky TODAY AND TOMORROW: 'Expeditionary Corps' A Political Question By WALTER LIPPMANN 1JHE President's decision, overruling the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to reduce by 380,000 the number of men under arms, will have to be examined carefully by the Armed Services Committee under Sen. Rus- sell. Both at home and abroad many questions have been raised about this decision. The most serious one is whether with the much smaller ground forces, we are working ourselves into a position where the only military choice will b% to yield or to have an atomic war. This question should be gone into thoroughly. As the military cor- respondent of "The St. Louis Post-Dispatch," Gen. Thomas R. Phillips has been saying, there is a strong tendency in our current military planning to reduce the number of soldiers and to increase the num- ber of atomic weapons. He and many other informed men are worried that this could lead us to a point where we had to do everything or nothing, where we were no longer capable of applying power mod- erately and locally, where there was nothing between a policy of non- resistance and a strategy of annihilation. The president has made it fairly clear, but not clear enough, that this is not what he wants or intends to permit. His view, it would appear, is that a highly trained but small force in being, with a large ready reserve behind it, is suited to the geographic fact that the United States must fight its wars across the oceans. While we raise a massive standing army in the United States, it must always take many months to transport a large army across an ocean. Presum- bly the President believes that the army he favors fits this limiting condition. We must suppose that he can demonstrate his case. BUT there is another side to this question which needs to be studied very carefully. What we are talking about here is an exeditionary corps capable of being carried across either of the oceans, capable (Continued from Page 3) have 55 hours or more by the end of this semester should make appoint- ments for approval of elections for Summer Session or Fall Semester in the Office of the Faculty Counselors. 1213 Angell Hall.

Now it is not enough to decide how large such an ex- peditionary corps needs to be, and what should be its equipment, and what are the logistics of its use. There is also the question, ever more impressive, as to whether in the vulnerable areas of the Asian periphery, a military intervention of this kind is any longer an ans- wer to the problem.,n The radically new elements in the problem are that these weak and theatened states are sovereign and that they are threatened not strength. The United States can not stand alone in a global conflict. The United Nations may provide an answer to the Formosan problem. This solution could take the form of "independence, neutralization, trusteeship plebscite or whatever is wisest." Stevenson suggests that the United States and its allies could submit a resolution to the U. N. general assembly asking them to "con- demn any effort to alter the present status of Formosa by force". A united agreement of the allies to defend Formosa would greatly strengthen our position. If the United States has to fight we would not be standing alone-instead we would have the force of allied agreement behind us. -Suzanne Jessup with orthodox invasion and con- quest but with subversion and in- ternal revolution. In this vital re- spect the Korean war may not be a precedent at all. For there the aggression was external. Almost everywhere in Asia it would be a violation of national sovereignty to intervent while the weak gov- ernment is being subverted and is falling apart, and it will be too late to intervene if it has already been overthrown. In fact interven- tion against the new revolutionary government would by twentieth century standards be deemed ex- ternal aggression. FIFTyears ago intervention in weak states was a recognized practice. It was' often criticized but it was not outlawed. The big powers intervened to restore order, to protect and to promote their interests, and to prevent the weak state from being drawn into the sphere of influence of a rival power. In this century interven- tion is very nearly, if not entirely, outlawed in principle by the Char- ter of the United Nations and by the Inter-American Pacts. It is, more-over, effectively outlawed everywhere in Asia by the massive popular opposition to any kind of western military intervention in the Asian world. When we study the problem of an American expeditionary corps-which is, I repeat, what we are really talking about in this debate-we must give great weight to the likelihood that in a mili- tary intervention on the mainland of Asia we would find ourselves opposed, directly or indirectly, by virtually all the nations of Asia. Intervention on the Asian main- land is almost certainly no long- er something that can be decided upon in Washington alone, or for that matter in Washington and. London. THIS dogs not mean that there are not strategic points on the Asian periphery-for example the Malaya Peninsula and Singapore. -where if worst came to the worst, a military intervention would be necessary and feasible.

The parallels between the monk, marvel.. .lously played by Fernandel, and the monkey go beyond the simple pun. Fernandel's aston- ishingly expressive face gapes in simian terror as he becomes aware of the monstrous trap he has blundered into; he shambles about the inn with monkey-like agility trying to foil his captors. The ultimate parallel, of course, transcends these intriguing details: it is the parallel which the founder of the Franciscan order drew by making no distinction between the purity and innocence of animals and that of simple, good-hearted men. This is not to say that the movie is goody- goody and sentimental; far from it. Its vision of evil is precise and clear. The travellers, fed fat with arrogance and self-satisfaction, mock Fernandel's desperate efforts to arouse them.
