WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1956 NIGHT EDITOR: ERNEST THEODOSSIN '-'. p.- SPECALEMEFOrs ALA.Lr eAII SPRING GARGOYLE Rebirth of Art Staff Magazine's Best Point PERHAPS THE GARG is not always free of the adolescent and the imitative but the Spring issue has sufficient virtue to overbalance the effect of the few stolen items, inanities, and imitations. In short, this Garg is the best of the year. The most striking thing about it is the rebirth of the art staff. The work in this Garg is the wildest and most satisfying since' Larry Scott's precision and Stu Ross's imagination were harnessed two years ago. Dave Rohn and Dan Deaver have suddenly gained the assistance of James Anthony who produced the free wheeling cover. Jim Maitland Dearborn's Hubbard Shams Segregation Cause HIRTY-FIVE miles east of campus reigns Machiavelli's legacy to twentieth century politics, Dearborn's Mayor Orville L. Hubbard. Hubbard is a confessed "one million percent" segregationist and bosses a one-million percent white Dearborn. Hubbard is habitually at odds with the Ford Motor Car Co.-Dearborn's largest tax payer. Hubbard has threatened more than one opponent with a punch in the nose. And Hubbard parries the accusals of the incorruptible Judge G. T. Martin every election. Friday, Hubbard received fire from the Cath- olic Interracial Council for his open declaration of intent to "keep Negroes out of Dearborn." The- CIC probably won't be more successful than the Dearborn YWCA. A short time ago, Hubbard advised them that "If you don't like it here, move two miles west" (referring, to a )Negro populated Inkster). WITH INTENTIONAL effrontery to the CIC, Hubbard last week bought full page ads in two Dearborn newspapers, reprinting a maga- zine- article which examined the Negro migra- tion from the South to Chicago. Said the in- troduction: "As a public service from Mayor Hubbard. Read this and keep your eyes W-I-D-E open." It seems that such a bigoted man who makes an effort to anger individuals and groups should seek a vocation other than politics (at least in the North). Hubbard has proved the ano-maly. He has been Mayor for 15 years. Why 1 Hubbard denounced by everyone ex- cept the voters of Dearborn? Because he ap- plies something of Machiavelli: The people will allow a politician to go morally astray if their material wants are fed. A UNIVERSITY student from Dearborn fur- nishes the explanation: "Many in town feel that he's a crook and a liar, but he gets things done. The cleanliness of our city is second to none. You get immedi- ate action from the city's Works Department after snowstorms, sewer stoppages, or holes in roads. They'll pick up as much of your gar- bage as you like, anytime ,you like. "He built the city a recreational Camp Dear- born. In the summer, he furnishes free bus transportation there and the city's children can swim and boat while the city, personalized by the Mayor, picks up the tab. "Hubbard has a particular talent in catering to our city's foreign element (There is no dis- crimination other than against Negroes). He knows how much they appreciate the right to vote and he goes out of his way to create the impression that he's 'on their side.' "HUBBARD now has plans to build a little Dearborn in Florida. The city would send its retiring old folks there. It's things like these that have made him Mayor for 15 years. "In regard to segregation against the Negro, there is hone in regard to shopping, working, eating, and toilet facilities. -Hubbard merely follows the dictates of the majority of the community in banning Negro housing in Dear- born." Pots like Dearborn and their Mayor Hubbard sham the North's calling the Southern segre- gationist's kettle black. -JIM ELSMAN ; ' t. . f.:' . 6. 0f9C~~ ~ G W ~ ~1';,,.d WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND: Shrewd Charting by Nixon By DREW PEARSON whose fine Steinbergish hand is whose well-made nude Playmates will amuse the discerning. Rohn's cartoons are not of a universally .high quality but the successful ones attain a level of sophistica- tion not customarily found in col- lege magazines. It would seem that last issue's centaur-series was no one-shot venture into the subtle. * * * FOR THOSE persons unfamil- iar with the ways of Gargoyle artists I feel I must remind you that "goodies" are almost always hidden in the illustrations and the advertisements. Pay close atten- tion to Maitland's Michgras sup- plement. If you are puzzled by the persistent nakedness in the illus- trations I can only excuse it by quoting the editor, 'These are all new artists and they haven't gotten to the lessons on clothes yet." On the literary side of the laun- dry list "parody" seems to have been the order from the editor. The editor took it upon himself to re-arrange some old stories in- to Fairy Tails. Those inclined to childish reminiscences will be shocked by what has happened to "The Princess and the Pea," "Jack and the Bean Stalk," "Sleeping Beauty," and "Bluebeard." To my way of thinking the sleeping beauty story is the best. It manages a successful ending; the others not quite. Generation comes in for some useful ribbing in a series of letters on life and love. For those who do not get all the jokes read the last Generation. Dick Braun has lots of them. " a . THERE IS a quick manhandling of "The Man Who Never Was" in "Now It Can Be Told, Again." It should have been printed a month or so ago when it might have pro- vided perspective for some of those persons who thought "The Man Who Never Was" was a good movie. There are some collegiate quips by Lord Byron, some of which were done by Kessel and some of which were stolen from Stanford. He promises it will never happen again. In any case, it's worth read- ing through. "The Man in the Grey Flannel Raincoat" by Ernest Theodossin has some fine moments but suf- fers from the lack of an ending. It is the storyof a student who has been through the mad, gay, college social and intellictual whirl and has adjusted his life accord- ingly. They don't all end up in Portuguese fishing villages, though. Ted Friedman's joshing of "Bridey Murphy" is delightful. The Morey Bernstein illogic is best captured in the "Appendix" where Mr. Friedman states the "facts." The jokes were stolen. They are mostly smutty. -Richard Laing Residence Halls Scholarships AT A RECENT meeting of the Board of Gov- ernors a little step was taken toward meet- ing a big problem. Prof. Lionel H. Laing, of the political science department, suggested that the Board think of possible action to counteract the raises in Residence Hall rates, which have probably not hit a ceiling. Prof. Laing ob- served that the recent $20 hike is just a begin- ning of what will continue to happen. His motion, which has been passed by the Board of Governors, reads: "That the Univer- sity be approached to set in motion machinery that will make possible the establishment of a number of substantial Residence Halls schol- arships adequate to cover a portion of the costs of such residential living." This implies that these scholarships, the number of which has not yet been decided, will make it possible for some persons to reside in residence halls who would, without this financial aid, be un- able to do so. Students miss an integral part of University life by not residing in a residence hall for at least one year. They do not have the opportu- nities to make as many contacts, to learn to appreciate different opinions, to acquire the ability to tolerate others, and to learn general compatibility. Without these things, the stu- dent is not receiving the full benefits of a col- lege education. THE AMOUNT of these scholarships has not entered into the discussion at this time, but it would undoubtedly cover at least part of the current room and board cost. It is believed that there are several possible sources of money for such a project that have never been contacted. The Alumni Fund is a potential giver to worthy causes of this nature. A few alumni have al- ready allocated money on an individual basis for an objective similar to that of the scholar- ship fund-to make it possible for students to live in University residence halls. Another pos- sibility that has not been exhausted is the Development Fund Council, the function of which is to find money needed for University projects. It is also conceivable that the Uni- versity might appropriate the money. No matter where the money comes from, it definitely should come. There should be a provision made to allow students to reside in the residence halls as long as they desire in order to gain that experience which will con- tribute toward making them more mature, bet- ter adjusted college students. Procedures concerning the setting up of this fund and numerous details can be worked out after the money is made available. Qualifica- tions for receiving such a scholarship will be discussed when other plans are completed. As of now the motion has presented an idea, one which has a great deal of potential. Though it is a little step, it is a move in the right di- rection. -MARILYN WOOD THE DEMOCRATS will make a mistake if they underestimate Dick Nixon. They figure he has about 75 per cent chance of be- coming President, and they're glad he's running. However, Dick does not miss a trick; and he knows most of the tricks in the political bag. When he went in to see Eisen- hower the other day to tell him he had "charted his course," he had already done some shrewd charting with most of the Repub- lican state chairmen and commit- teemen around the country. He had telephoned them personally, asking them in his most deferen- tial manner whether he should run again. When the Vice President of the United States calls to seek your personal advice, the natural ten- dency-unless icewater flows in your veins-is to tell him what he wants to know. Most Republican leaders did.' s -* * * NIXON KEPT a scorecard of these calls, and the results were discreetly made known to White House advisers in advance of Dick's conference with Ike last week. That conference, previously un- scheduled, was hastened by two developments: Ike's statement in press confer- ence that he had not yet received a reply from Nixon, which made it appear that Nixon was still out on a limb. A Senate committee's sudden discovery that Nixon's attorney and most trusted adviser, Murray Chotiner, was involved in a black- listed uniform manufacturer's ef- fort to pull wires. What the Sen- ate committee digs out might have influenced the GOP decision re Mr. Nixon's future, so Mr. Nixon rushed in to chart and clinch his future first. Here is some interesting corre- spondence which the senate com- mittee, if it digs deeply enough, can bring out. THE SECRET SERVICE, which has the job o protecting Nixon from bodily harm; and also has the job of protecting The Great Seal and currency of the U.S.A., discovered that a company called the National Research Company was using a spread eagle insignia and various misleading titles such as U.S. Credit Control Bureau, Claims Office, Disbursement Office, etc., to give the impression it was a governmentkagency in the col- lection of back debts. In some cases forms that looked somewhat like government checks were mailed out to lure informa- tion from people. The Secret Service investigated this, but finally passed the matter on to the Better Business Bureau with this letter by S.S. Chief U. E. Baughman, October 26, 1954: "On several occasions, the Unit- ed States Secret Service has re- ceived inquiries or complaints from citizens concerning a certain print- ed form and questionnaire pur- portedly issued by the Claims Of- fice, 100 Barr Building, Washing- ton, D.C., the upper portion of the form has a design of ,a spread eagle, is dated at Washington and is numbered, and has led some per- sons to believe that it is a gov- ernment check. "In fact, on June 25, 1954, a man was arrested by police in Phoenix, Arizona, for attempting to negotiate one of tkese forms which he represented to be a gov- ernment check for disability pay- ment. Another of the forms was negotiated last February in a Phoenix department store and was cleared through the banks to the Treasurer of the United States for payment. "... The claim form would not appear to violate any of the stat- utes enforced by this department. However, in view of the deceptive nature of the form, it is being called to your attention for what- ever action you may deem appro- priate. The special agent in charge of our field office in Los Angeles, California, has been re- quested to convey this same infor- mation to the Better Business Bu- reau*in that city." THE SECRET SERVICE, it lat- er developed, knew all about Mr. Chotiner, and Senators are won- dering whether this is why Baugh- man passed the case to the Better Business Bureau despite one ar- rest in the case.

Barkley, 1877-1956 VICE-PPESIDENTS may come and go, but there'll never be another "Veep." "Veep" was Alben Barkley's own special title, one he kept when he left office. It was first bestowed on him by a young grandson, and it stuck, a symbol of a nation's respect and love. Fifty-one years of public service, though many of them were marked by bitterly-fought cam- paigns and legislative battles, found Barkley the most beloved figure in American politics. . Though not an aggressive Vice-President, Barkley was an extremely able one. His homey wit and charm, never-failing courage and high-level partisanship were such that many said Alben Barkley was the only man or thing all Democrats could agree on. Editorial Staff HIS LIFE was rich in many ways, but had its disappointments too: his desire to be Presi- dent was never quite fulfilled. Like many oth- er Democrats, he long labored in the shadow of F.D.R. In 1944, his party passed him by as its Vice-Presidential candidate and heir-appar- ent because, it was felt, he was too old. He proved them wrong in 1948 when a vigorous campaign led him to the Vice-Presidency. But his Presidential ambitions were again thwarted in 1952 when not even Harry Tru- man's understood endorsement was enough to convince Democratic labor leaders that he should be the party's candidate. After a few moments of uncharacteristic bitterness came Alben Barkley's finest hour-a half-hour de- monstration for the "Veep" as he appeared to address the convention. Public speaking was what Barkley enjoyed doing most, and his death was a storybook ending to a storybook life. ALBEN BARKLEY'S last words were a Bibli- cal quotation in his speech: "I would rather be a servant in the house of the Lord than sit in the seat of the mighty." There are those who say "The Veep" did both. -PETE ECKSTEIN New Books at the Library Wilson, Sloane-The Man in the Gray Flan- nel Suit; N.Y., Simon & Schuster, 1955.

By LARRY EINHORN Daily Television Writer , VERY DAY more than 75 mil- lion Americans =situate them- selves in front of a scientific phenomenon whose wires, tubes and electronic devices make is pos- sible to receive sound and pic- tures that have been transmitted through air waves. They become completely disinterested in ,what is happening at the time to thej rest of the human race, even thosej who are within the confines of the same room, except of course, those who may be blocking their line of sight. Just what is this thing . . . tele- vision? And is it undermining the "culture, happiness and way of life of American society?" * * * IT ALL STARTED in 1884 when a German scientist, Paul Nip- kow, invented the scanning disc which makes television possible. For the next forty years scientists and engineers experimented and finally came up with the "thing" that has found its place in nearly every American home. Today there are over 35 mil- lion television receivers in use in the United States, a figure that overshadows the number of bath- 4 ,aire+l rm _ n~n hr ntnt
