$1500 for the institution of a me-

standing students at Michigan" by

PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE?:
Dobriansky to Speak,
Of U.S. Myths on Russia

United States policy of contain-
ment is allowing time for Moscow
to consolidate and form its spring-
board for world conquest, said Pro-
fessor Lev. E. Dobriansky of the
Georgetown University economics
department.
Prof. Dobriansky is presently
visiting the University and will lec-
ture on "Several Outstanding
American Myths on Russia."
He cited liberation as the only
policy that can obstruct consolida-
tion for war, sustain the sources
of nationalism and patriotic re-
sistance throughout the Soviet
Union, and enhance the insecurity
of Moscow within its own realm.
Containment Policy
"To follow the present policy of
containment means to lose the
strength and power of our natural
allies behind the Iron Curtain and
to dangerously expose ourselves
to the prospect of defeat in the
event of a showdown, no matter
how closely bound we may be to
our allies in the free world," said
Prof. Dobriansky.
"While I agree that liberation
would create a hardship on the
people behind the Iron Curtain
countries, I believe, after listening
to their testimony, that they would
be willing to sacrifice anything in
order to have an opportunity to
-fight for their freedom."
He declared that the Commun-.
ists are perpetuating a neatly
staged facade of peaceful coex-
istence upon the free world while
they are busily engaged in consoli-
dating their empire.
Examples of Coexistence

to Moscow and taken on tours;

ment; track meets; preparation for

GOMBERG PRESIDENT LEE STERN REVISES THERMOMETER
. STATISTIC FOR JACK KELSEY MEMORIAL AWARD FUND

based on interest obtained from a
fund of constant principal.
"Because of the way in which
Jack was looked up to by all the
men in our house," Stern said, "we
don't think our $1500 goal is out
of reach."
Thermometer Gives Pledges
The thermometer, which desig-
nates pledges to the fund by pres-
ent house members, shows approxi-
mately 80 per cent of the $500
in-house goal attained. With more
than 53 per cent of the house still
to be pledged, the huge glass tube
records a total of $398 at present.
The house expects to raise
British VWorks
Exchibited at
Alumni Hall
Until Dec. 21, "British Art in
the Museum Collection" will be
displayed in the West Gallery of
the Museum of Art, Alumni Mem-
orial Hall.
"We are not trying to promote
any special theme in this exhibit,"
comments J. P. Slusser, Museum
Director. "We simply are display-
ing, in informal groupings, some
of the really good British art the
Museum owns."
Six 'Outstanding' Works
Among these "really good" Brit-
ish drawings, water colors, and
modern oils, there are six which
Director Slusseer feels are "out-
standing."
The first of these is "Cactus"
by" Graham Sutherland - who
painted the controversial portrait
of Winston Churchill early this
year. This oil painting is com-
posed of stylistic forms in lav-
ender, white, lemon-yellow, and
ochre.
Another is Sir Henry Rayburn's
"Portrait of Lady Eleanor Dun-
das," a traditional image in oil.
Engravings, Drawings, Water Color
Engravings by William Blake,
drawings by Thomas Gainsboro
and Henry Moore, and a water
color by John Piper are other
"outstanding" works.
In the South gallery, two re-
cent gifts from the Harry L. Win-
ston collection are featured.'
"Composition" is an oil by
Frenchman Auguste Herbin. This
is a mechanized abstraction in.
greens, reds, and yellows. The
second gift is "Two Trees," a small
gouache by Paul Klee.

the remainder of the principal
goal through Gomberg "alumni,"
friends of Kelsey and other inter-
ested students, faculty members
and organizations.
Explaining that a Gomberg
"alumnus" is any student who has
at one time been a member of the
house, Stern said that letters were
sent Friday to the more than 400
"alumni" urging their support of
the memorial.
Donations Have Started
"Donations have already started
coming In as a result of these let-
ters," he said. "Besides, we re-
ceived around $300 before the
memorial award was even an-
nounced," he added optimistically.
"Though we have wanted an
award like this since the house
was started in 1951," Stern said,
"we also believe that this is an
appropriate way in which to honor
one of our most respected house
members."
Kelsey was a drummer in the
Marching Band and maintained
an outstanding academic record,
as well as serving in the various
independent government bodies.
Stern said, "It is a tribute to him
that he could accomplish all this
in his four years here."
Stern said that contributions
will be welcomed from interested
faculty members and students. The
donation program for University
alumni is being sponsored by the
Development council, and contri-
butions entitle the donor to mem-
bership in the Michigan Alumni
Fund.
Contributions may be sent to the
memorial secretary, Dick Snyder,
5806. Gomberg, South Quad.

their own candle lighting cere-
mony in connection with Chanu-
kah may obtain the menorah and

mony will be observed at the Hillel
Foundation between 5:00 and 5:30
p.m. starting Friday.
