'r ..+r:' '" :vea '> =yT ;. , .r F'i y, More on OSU Game .. . To the Editor: IT'S time we put the brakes on this growing hysteria that start- ed Nov. 19. On that day Ohio State knocked us out of the Rose Bowl, and- since then this Uni- versity has made a great effort to see that neither Michigan nor any other Big Ten team ever plays in the Rose Bowl again. Up until this year Michigan had been pro-Rose Bowl. What caused the big switch in attitude? Answer: that already much over-publicized fracas at the end of the Ohio State game. The official University opinion on that affair seems to be: 1. The incident was such a ter- rible disgrace to this great Uni- versity that the entire nation will be talking' about it for years to come. 2. The sole cause of the incfdent was our disappointment over our failure to get the Rose Bowl bid. 3. All future thoughts of bowl games must therefore be aban- doned lest this great catastrophe be repeated. I disagree violently with this at- titude. First of all, this school has a very inflated idea of its own importance . . . I have learned that the rest of the nation was never aware of our great reputa- tion for sportsmanship, and is of the opinion that the incident could have been described simply as "Michigan fell apart. at the end of the game" and then forgotten. Secondly, it just isn't so that "now everything points to the coveted bid to the bowl." Ohio State, without the bowl incentive, romped to the Big Ten champion- ship and was downright overjoyed about, it. In other words, the "Ohio State incident" could Just as well have taken place if the Rose Bowl had not been involved at all. Let's cool off for a while before we throw the Rose Bowl away. -Charles Carroll, '56 THE RECENT turmoil over application of 18 new countries for membership in the United Nations is an indication that future progress in the world organization will be a matter of logrolling. In order to obtain membership in the UlN, a country must get a recommendation from the Security Council and then receive a two-thirds vote of approval in the General Assembly as the final requirement for admission. This system allows a cross-check on each nation from many angles. But the "package deal" plan is a means, of less effective politicking. By admitting some countries who are not favorably inclined to one trend of thinking as well as admitting members of an opposite trend of thoughts, the UN will evolve into a "war game" with sides chosen to stand for policy, The 13 non-Communist applicants-Ceylon, Cambodia, Japan, Laos, Libya, Nepal, Jordan, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Austria and Finland-are favored for admission only be- cause the Communist countries are so eager to get Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Outer Mon- golia and Hungary into the organization. 1I__E DEAL was not proposed or received enthusiastically by anyone. It was more a matter of doing the easiest thing in the shortest period of time. This is a shabby way of reflect- ing principle or even support of a political position. But there are advantages to swallow- ing the Communist's bitter pill. The simplest advantage is that although five Communist countries will be admitted, 13 non- Communist countries will reinforce the Western bloc. In the Balkan and Byzantine area, four Communist countries against six non-Com- munist countries are up for admission. A further strengthening in the Near and Far East of the non-Communist group will be accomplished. It is worthwhile to takeOuter Mongolia, a land with camels and no govern- ment as such, in return for a 'country whose friendship we need-Japan. The uppermost question in most people's, minds is the position that Nationalist China will take. What will she do? A veto by any one of the five permanent Council members (Nationalist China, United States, France, Great Britain and the Soviet Union) could complicate matters and kill an application for membership. The United States will probably accept the applications. It is the expedient thing to do. The Soviet Union has said it will accept all 18 states or none, which hints at China that a veto will not be favorably received by the Big Bear. France and Great Britain will probably go along with the United States. DR. T. F. TSIANG, UN representative of Nationalist China will probably try to block the application of Outer Mongolia by any means at hand. He says that they invaded his country and joined against United Nations troops in Korea. Dr. Tsiang is in a touchy position. His clear course must be with the West or as an isola- tionist. The latter course is a lonely one for a nation whose last life is on Formosa. To be with the West and vote for Outer Mongolia would dissuade a suggestion of re- placing Nationalist China with Red China in the world organization. The Security Council meets this morning to consider the applications. In the continuing tug-of-war between East and West, a strong stand for unity must be voiced on both sides. A solution must be found to the evidently dis- parate views of Soviet Russia and Nationalist China. In any case, it is important that the West keep the logrolling to a minimum, or at least to its advantage. -DAVID KAPLAN, Feature Editor 10 ,.

THE CURRENT Detroit newspaper strike has provoked a torrent of criticism against the striking stereotypers' union.. The union's posi- tion has been given little attention since the strike began. The very nature of the strike prevents full coverage in that it closed all the major Detroit papers. According to the stereotypers' union, the pur- pose of the strike is to reduce the extreme pressure of the work. George Robinson, the union president, ex- plained, "We are requesting that- the work be, done outside regular shift hours at a minimum of overtime to relieve the excessive work load." Robinson denied reports that the union de- mands higher wages or a special crew totiandle color work. The stereotypers feel they are being over- worked-that they are doing 10 or 12 hours' work in eight. This is a question which the publishers should consider seriously, regardless of whether the union's entire position is justi- 'ied. --'TED FRIEDMAN I ri. IN THIS CORNER: Learning to be Practical By MURRY FRYMER N1 ITH all the charges and counter-charges circulating throughout the political world these days, the campus polititcal clubs are rather conspicuous in their silence. Except for the noisy Arab-Israeli debate sponsored earlier in the semester by the Young Democrats, both groups have confined most of their activity to an occasional lecture from a University professor. This, of course, is the wisest thing to do-- politically speaking. With the numerable hats in the ring, a political club that comes out in favor of one particular hopeful today may have to eat its words when the conventions select party leaders next summer. Then, also, it is always best to hear the particular platform the - party will choose to take before crusading for your own views, which may be too radical. or too conservative. As any politician will tell you, this is the key to success. A party united is, strong, and so on. WE HAVE no reason to doubt the logic of this political reasoning. But it would seem that politics is more than the science of winning elections. If college groups which can harmlessly and profitably devote time to conflicting ideas decide to abandon them then what is the Editorial Staff Dave Bjad ...........................

Whatever support they can lend to the party cause is somewhat negligible, and although they offer experience, members could find plenty of time for that after college. Yet this "realism instead of idealism" atti- tude seems to have been adopted by the local groups. Candidates are discussed on the terms of "Can he win?" instead of "Is he the best man?" One campus political group, the Student League for Industrial Democracy, has been completely disbanded mainly on the grounds- that all they can do is sit around and discuss ideas that probably won't be adopted by either major party in the immediate future. This is all unfortunate. Admittedly the idealist is not having his day in today's very practical political scene. And, admittedly the general tone of the nation is rather conserva- tive. But if young people begin rejecting ideas, where in the political world will they come from? UNFORTUNATELY TOO much emphasis is placed too soon on emulating professional-. ism. The college student is taught to accept party conflicts and hatreds as well as the rules of political expediency as part of the game. He learns to rationalize various corrupt practices as part of an "ends justify the means" philos- ophy. And somewhere along the line the student is convinced that the common belief of "telling the people what they want to hear" is in all cases the wisest political maneuver. Maybe it is. But what a party says and what a party does may have to vary a great deal. If all concentration is on "winning" then when the new ideas become necessities they won't be available for action. Even if today's atmosphere is not inviting, the formulation and promotion of new ideas must continue. Yesterday's crackpot scheme is in many cases today's legislation. But with the professional realism and practicality of our THE Geneva spirit may be going to heck in a hand-basket; war may be threatening in the Near East; and Secretary Dulles may rival "Foot-in-Mouth" Charley Wilson when it comes to saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But at least one thing is better as a result of Ike's illness: The squirrels are having a won- derful time on the White House lawn. All you have to do is go down to the White House and look at them. They're scampering every- where. They're so bold and braz- en it almost seems they've read the papers and know the boss is in Gettysburg. * . a. WHITE HOUSE guards won't say anything about it. Usually they are expansive and loquacious. They lead kind of a lonesome life standing around the White House in little guardhouses, and usually like to talk to people. But when it comes to squirrels - well, they are polite, but as tight-lipped as the Washington monument. White House gardeners have the putting green behind the White House i nexcellenthshape now, waiting the day when the na- tion's No. 1 golfer returns. And somehow or other the squirrels haven't molested it. Maybe they learned their lesson. Or maybe the explanation of White House Assistant Press Secretary Murray Snyder is the answer. Murray was approached on this subject. After all, he's paid to talk. "We studied their habits and found there were only four squir- rels causing the damage," he ex- plained. Perhaps the inference was that the squirrels were Demo- crats. Anyway, they were trans- ferred elsewhere. Anyway, while Ike's away, the, squirrels that remain are having a wonderful time. * * * SECRETARY OF DEFENSE Charley Wilson, once head of Gen- eral Motors, wasn't a bit unhappy over the Senate predicament of the man who succeeded him, Har- low Curtice. Perhaps Charley re- membered how glad Curtice was to have Charley get out. Several months ago, Curtice had refused to attend Senate hearings unless subpoenaed. He got the subpoena and the results have been interest- ing. The five-year contract hasti- ly given General Motors dealers was a victory for Frederick J. Bell, Executive Vice President of the National Auto Dealers Association, who has been working for better protection between dealers and all motor manufacturers. * * * SEN. OLIN JOHNSTON of South Carolina, a conscientious but sometimes naive solon, certainly seems to have fallen for the Ger- man property lobby. He's been holding hearings on the return of alien property and look who he's had as attorneys for his commit- tee! Attorney No. 1 sis Harlan Wood, who found it expedient to retire from the D.C. draft board in 1942 after he was arrested for drunken driving in an accident that in- jured a pedestrian. He was ac- quitted, but later fired a .38 calibre bullet over the head of a law client, Dale Birdsell. The case was dismissed April 6, 1949, when Wood claimed it was a joke. Attorney No. 2 is Le Roy In.- goldsby, who also serve das at- torney for Fritz von Opel, the fa- mous German industrialist who is trying to get his Ubersee Com- pany returned. This company, seized by the U.S. government during the war, operates the Har- vard Brewing Company and the spur filling stations in Kentucky. INGOLSBY, who will get paid in full if and when von Opel gets his property back, can hardly be considered an ubiased attorney, in acting for a Senate committee supposed to conduct an impar- tial probe into German property. Olin's explanation is that Sena- tor Dirksen, Illinois Republican, asked him to hir6 Ingolsby. This makes it worse. For Dirksen is. one of the, best friends of the German lobby. And under the Republicans, Dirksen employed as counsel John W. Nairn, who shared offices with Ray Jenkins, attorney for Interhandel whose property was also seized. It's funny how the German lobby seems to get around. Note - A big German industrial- ist visiting Washington the other day, called Chancellor Adenauer a fuddy-duddy and said German business was only waiting for him to get out of the picture to have Germany team up with Russia.

Then he goes about proving it in an entertaining, if somewhat am- biguous manner. The scene is laid in a courtroom, where Lut (Michael Simon) is be- ing tried for the murder of 17- year-old Marie Louise (Anna Maria Ferrereo). The story of their pas- sion is told in a series of flash- backs, first by the prosecution,. then by the defense. The prosecution contends that Lut was a dissolute, evil young man who first led innocent young Marie Louise down the primrose path, then killed her when she left him. Almost all the facts fit with this interpretation of events. However, the defense's view is that Marie Louise was a prostitute who ensnared unsuspecting and trustful Lut with her more obvious charms, and then died in an acci- dent. The facts also fit this inter- pretation. * * * AND AT THE end of "The Temptress," the audience is left musing on the moral ambiguity of man, the impersonal functioning of the law, and MisshFerrero. It is unfortunate that all Italian actresses resemble either Gina Lollabridgida or Pier Angeli. Miss Ferrero is the Pier-type, so it is definitely to her credit that she manages Marie-Louise-the-devil quite as well as Marie-Louise-the- angel. As the good Marie Louise, she has a wistful air of haunting innocence that illumines her drab surroundings with the, glowing purity of young love. As the bad Marie Louise, she lights up the same surroundings with honky- tonk neon, too much makeup and a genuine liking for her profes- sion. Simon carries off his dual role with equal aplomb. He is as con- vincing with a cigarette in his mouth as he is with cocker-spaniel devotion in his eyes.
