4 PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1956 PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 195~ LIVE AND FILM: 'U' Television Operates on Wide Scale By EDWARD GERULDSEN Since its inception in the fall of 1950, the University Television operation has grown by proverbial leaps and bounds. Now in its seventh year of op- eration, the television office dis- tributes about 52 programs a week on kinescope film for broadcast over 20 commercial stations. This kinescope network reaches not only throughout Michigan, but encompasses areas in the states of Washington, Nebraska, Wiscon- sin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, New York and New Jersey, plus Canada. Humble Beginnings Though now one of the largest university or college operated tele- vision operations, University TV had humble beginnings. It all be- gan with the University of Michi- gan Television Hour, two half- hour programs telecast. live over WWJ-TV in Detroit in 1950. In January, 1954, the studios at 420 Maynard Street were re- modeled at a cost of $112,000. The present setup includes two studios, control rooms, a film projection and kinescope room, and offices, plus over $200,000 worth of mod- ern technical equipment. When the kinescope recorder was installed in 1954, the three series which had been produced live -- TV Hour, Understanding, Our World and Michigan Report- were recorded on film in the cam- pus studios. This permitted a much wider distribution of the programs and enabled building an audience of over a million viewers. Johlnson To Speak Today on Poetry Prof. Thomas H.

Theatre Group To Introduce 'Ruddigore' 'P Lecture Committee Still Exists (Continued from Page 1) sive speeches; the committee said no subversive speakers, had their cake, and they ate it. From the McPhaul controversy, however, came these two policy changes from the Lecture Com- mittee: permission wasn't neces- sary for "private" meetings and a committee okay wasn't necessary for speakers employed by the Uni- versity, only "guest" speakers. This fall the Lecture Committee again made news and enemies when they denied the Young Re- publicans television, film, and even tape recorder privileges for an address by former Gov. Thomas Dewey. That is the story to date. The status quo is this. A student group wishing to bring in an out- side speaker must get the signature of a faculty adviser, recommenda- tion of SGC, recommendation of Sub-committee on Student Events, approval by Auditor of Student Organizations and lastly hurdles the Lecture Committee. Faculty groups are not meddled with, They can invite whom they please to campus, but conforming presures have shackled them from daring, much as legal rules have bound the student body. A sterile climate of intellectual discussion has resulted. Real issues of the day-capitalism vs. social- ism, the hydrogen bomb, foreign policy, and segregation-are not bandied about enough on this cam- pus. The University arranged Lec- ture Series can be shuttled into the "entertainment" category. Attendance at "off-campus" lec- tures underlines the thought void existing on campus. (Continued from Page 1) supporters and 36 Stevenson-the health issue made no difference in their minds. To 71 others - 40 Eisenhower and 31 Stevenson - it made some difference, but not enough to affect their votes. How- ever three ztudents reported switching from the President to former Gov. Stevenson, six from undecided to Stevenson and two from President Eisenhower to un- decided. Asked whether the vice-presi- dential candidates had affected their votes, 18 students, or 7.5 per cent reported some shift in the direction of Stevenson, largely however from the undecided cate- gory. Students were asked their reac- tions to two statements-one in the economic, the other in the international field. In the economic field, the ques- tion read: "The government in Washington ought to see to it that everybody who wants to work can find a job." On the basis of strength of agreement or disagree- ment, students were classed (with some degree of semantic license) strong or weak "liberals" -- those who agreed - and "conservatives" -those who disagreed. Among the two groups there was a noticeable deviation from the average with Stevenson gaining among "liber- als" and Eisenhower among "con- servatives." Ofs thes240 students polled, 81 placed themselves on the "liberal" side of the employment question by either weakly or strongly agree- ing with the statement. Ninety- two had no opinion or weren't sure where they stood. The re- maining 67 stood on the "conserva- tive" side. Students were also asked which candidate they preferred simply on economic issues. While both can- didates lost ground-probably due to the vague reasons behind the support some students gave them- Stevenson gained proportionately when candidate choice was con- fined to economic issues. His origi- nal 33 per cent went up to 36.5 p, cent. Among those classed as strong "liberals" Stevenson was preferred on economic issues by 57 per cent, one of the few groups giving him a majority, and then only when the issues are confined to economic ones. Among strong and weak "liberals" combined, he was pre- ferred on economic issues by 49 per cent. President Eisenhower, on the other hand, gained among "con- servatives." Among those who dis- agreed sharply with the full em- ployment. statement, 81 per cent preferred the President, as com- pared with his overall 63.5 per cent majority on economic issues. Among all "conservatives," the President leads by 75 per cent. Response to this statement was also asked: "This country would be better off if we did not concern ourselves so much with problems in other parts of the world." Those agreeing were classed as "internationalists," those disagree- ing as "non-interventionists." Only 18 students placed themselves in the "non-interventionist" cate- gory, while a strong 195 preferred the "internationalist" grouping, 171 of them expressing strong dis- agreement with the statement. P r e s i d e n t Eisenhower gains slightly in absolute terms and con- siderably in relative terms when the Presidential contest is con- fined to foreign policy issues. On foreign policy, Stevenson loses 13 of his supporters to the President while gaining from him only three. His overall 33 per cent is reduced to 28 per cent when the area of consideration is restricted to for- eign affairs. A higher-than-average four out of eleven (36 per cent) of the strong "non-intervensionists" fav- ored Stevenson on foreign policy, while among both strong and weak "non - interventionists" his "total on foreign policy drops to 25 per cent. Among those who class them- selves in the "internationalist" category, neither c a n d i d a t a changes his relative position on the foreign policy issue, with the totals remaining at 72 to 28 per cent. No do they change In general candidate preference, with the two-to-one ratio remaining re- markably stable among "interna- tionalists." From the analysis of the econ- omic and foreign affairs questions as compared with candidate pref- erence, the conclusion seems valid that students who favor a niore active role in the economy for the federal government are far more attracted to Stevenson than the average student is, but that there is no meaningful difference be- ween the student support of the two that can be explained in terms of disagreement 'on the size of America's role in world affairs. POLITICAL SURVEY: Poll Reveals Students 2-1 for Ike t n I' a. Hallowe'en pranks lured Michi- gan kids out for a little neighbor- hood mischief 70 years ago the same as today, according to a diary just recently received by the Uni- versity Hisorical Collections. Walter T. Curtis, a retired con- struction engineer now living in Harrisville, kept a diary in 1887. At that time he was 13 years old and living with his parents and brothers on East Forest Ave., De-. troit. He writes: "It is Hallowe'en tonight and the boys are all out cabbage stumping." Cabbage stumping, reports F. Clever Bald, assistant director of the Collection, was traditional Hallowe'en fun and consisted of breaking off the frozen stumps and smashing the rotton cabbage heads against the front door of unfortunate residences. However, Walter adds: "I stayed at home to help mama clean the pantry and she gave me five cents for helping her." Lest you think our hero was a mama's boy, here is his entry for a few days later: "Shinny (a sort of very rough hockey played with sticks and tin cans) is all the rage now. I ought to have gone over to Woodward Ave. to get a pumpkin, but I stayed home and played Shinny. Albert Kirtchner got hit in the head and had a fit but not a very bad one." DILYOFFICIAL BULLETIN Bad baronets and grisly ghosts4 will frolick on the stage of Gil- bert and Sullivan's Society's fall production "Ruddigore," accord- ing to publicity manager Jerry Davies, '57. Midway through the rehearsal period, the baronets and ghosts are seen as mere students bent on achieving the ghostly finesse of frightening actors and audience alike. True to Gilbert and Sullivan fashion, "Ruddigore" is a satire on the bloody melodrama of Victorian England. Under the direction of Clarence Stephenson and Robert Brandgel, the production is scheduled for presentation Nov. 8, 9 and 10 in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Both single and block tickets are available at the Administration Building. THE IMMORTAL }I CLEAN, COOKED, and DEVEINED SHRIMP Complete Stock of Fresh Water Fish Just Arrived!
