Why does a man with two cars
in one garage, a huge account in
the bank and a beautiful wife
want to commit suicide?
Dr. Bingham Dai, professor in
psychiatry at Duke Univeersity,
said yesterday that the root of
man's unhappiness lies in his atti-
tude towards his fellow man.
Speaking on the topic of "Science
and Wisdom" to a large audience
in Aud. A, Angell Hall, Dr. Dai
noted that the prescription for
man's happiness may be found in
many of the teachings of Chris-
tianity, Buddhism and Confucian-
ism.
These teachings similarly re-
flect the findings of modern phy-
chiatry-a man's greatest problem
Is he doesn't know how to live.
"The happiest man is one who
has the abiilty to love others," the
visiting psychiatry professor,
schooled in sociology, philosophy,
psychiatry and the three religions
commented, "and the most un-
happy people are those "who are
stingy and too preoccupied with
themselves to give to others.:'
Compares Ethical Teachings
Dr. Dai compared the ethical
teachings of the three religions
which, in attempting to prescribe
for man a "way of living" turn out
to be a "psychological state." The
ideal way of living according to
the religions, Dr. Dai commented,
calls for humility, honesty and a
lack of aggressiveness, greed, envy
and pride. "In fact," Dr. Dai
added facetiously, "all the values
Americans emphasize are absent
in the ideal man of the religious
teachings."
The superior man, he continued,
has neither fear nor anxiety, for,
as Confucius taught, "he does not
find in himself that he has done
anything he shouldn't have done."

Wy ROBERT JUNKER
The University's maize and blue
have dazzled the nation's motorists
from Wyoming to New York in the
last few years.
Buses painted in these tradi-
tional colors with the inscription,
"University of Miphigan," embla-
zoned on the sides have traveled
across the country as part of the
University's transportation . sys-
tem.
This system, operated by the l
Plant Department, includes in ad-
dition . to' 19 buses, some of which
are kept near the Army and Navy
ROTC building, a car pool of 24
station wagons and 57 sedans. A.
few of the cars are kept next to
the Plant Department building.
Pool Began During War
The pool was started during
World War II when gasoline ra-
tioning limited staff members'
travel in their own cars. The
University, however, was able to
obtain larger gas allowances, so it
began providing both gas and au-
tomobiles.
The car pool 'has grown from its
original three cars to a present
size of 81 vehicles. Trips usually
take these vehicles to Detroit or
other .nearby cities, and they are
also used to carry visiting digni-
taries from Willow Run airport
and nearby cities to central cam-
pus.
The cars are all low-priced
makes and they are replaced after
about three years use, during
which time they travel an average
distance of 60,000 miles each. Ac-
cidents have been rare and any
damage to the cars, which are all
insured, is repaired in the Univer-
sity shops.
Bus Service for Students
The part of the transportation
system which affects students
more directly -is the bus service.
Regular service to and from North
Campus now transports about
5,000 of the University community
each month. There is also a regu-
lar shuttle service between park-

music school Wednesday through
Saturday in the Lydia Mendels-'
sohn Theatre.
Evening performances are sched-
uled for 8 p.m. and a special mati-
nee for children at 2:30 p.m. Sat-
urday.
Prof. Joseph Blatt of the School
of Music is music director for the
production and Prof. Hugh Z.
Norton of the speech department
is stage director. Choreography
for the well-known dance of the
14 angels is the creation of Prof.
Esther E. Pease of the women's
physical education department.
An entire set of new German
peasant costumes has been de-

on the colors and styles of cloth-
ing used in the popular Hummel
figures.
Scenery for "Hansel and Gretel"
has been designed by David Lloyd,
Grad., associate director of the
production.
Tickets will be sold beginning 10
a.m. Monday at the Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre box office. Spe-
cial 75 cent student tickets will
be available for the Wednesday
and Thursday performances.
The Saturday matinee is open
to elementary school children in
grades one through eigPft, at 35
cents each in groups of 10 or more.
All seats are reserved.

SCIENCE AND WISDOM-Dr. Bingham Dai of Duke University
compared the ethical teachings one of Christianity, Buddhism and
Confusisism and their relation to modern psychiatry in a lecture

yesterday.
The three religions all teach that
the ideal man not only thinks of
the feelings of other people but is
happy in the work he undertakes.
Citing Confucius again, Dr. Dai
said he found satisfaction because
"he was happy in his work and
forgot his worries, and because he
was happy in his studies, he for-
got his age."
Personal Interest in Subject
Dr. Dai, who presented the lec-
ture "out of personal interest" in
the merging ideas of science and
religion, noted that the concept
expressed in the Golden Fule of
"doing unto others as you would
have done unto you" found in all
three religions was now entering
into psychiatry. "The ego is not
as important as considering other
people," Dr. Dai added. In psycho-
analytic treatment, the search for
the source of one's hostilities not
only reduces them but permits the
individual searching for happiness
to see people as friendly, honest
and generous, he said.
Answering the rhetoric question
of what was the happy personality,
Dr. Dai cited from one of the
few studies of the normal per-
sonality that a happy man was
one who was able to "perceive
reality," was "autonomous, crea-
tive and independent," and had
a "wholesome sense of humor and
a continued freshness of appreci-
ation of nature."
Overcome Similar Problems
Both religion and psychiatry,

Approximately 150 representa-
tives of Junior Chambers of Com-
merce throughout Michigan will
participate in an all-day leader-
ship training conference tomorrow
at the University.
Under-the auspices of the speech
department, group sessions will be
held in several auditoriums, stu-
dios and classrooms in Angell Hall.
The delegates will witness dem-
onstrations and receive individual
intstruction in the fields of public
speaking, radio, television, parlia-
mentary procedure and conference
methods.

Dr. Dal said, attempt to overcome
similar problems: in religion, he
added, "it is called the problem of
evil, in psychiatry, the problem of
complexes." Dr. Dai noted that
Buddha taught his followers to
overcome unnecessary suffering
by . recognizing that certain suf-
ferings in birth, death and disease
were inevitable and the less one
worried about them the less one
suffered. Further, a "craving of
desires can be destroyed -by follow-
ing the right behavior, the right
efforts and right thoughts."
In psychiatry, a person may
overcome his anxieties by being
aware and unafraid of his im-
pulses and thereby not build up
anxiety-causing defenses.
Dr. Dai was born in a Chinese
village in Southern France and
went to a missionary school in
China.. He studied sociology at
the University of Chicago and
attended the Psychoanalytic In-
stitute there for his training in
psychiatry.
He returned to practice psychi-
Ary in China and came back to
the United States where he is
presently training students in
psychoanalytic work at Duke Uni-
versity.
Law Students
To Compete
John Feldeux, '57L, and Robert
Steele, '57L, wil represent the Uni-
versity Law School in the finals
of the National Moot Court Com-
petition Dec. 22 in New York- City.
Feldeux and Steele defeated a
team from Ohio State University
Nov. 15 which gave them the right
to represent the Michigan-Ohio
Region in the competition.
The competition is sponsored
by the New York City Bar Asso-
ciation. The topic to be discussed
is the legal method used in de-
termining insanity in present
times.

ing lots on the edge of the city and
the main campus twice daily.
Buses are also used for depart-
mental field trips, carrying ath-
letic teams or the Band to various
cities, and tranporting visitors at
conventions around the campus.
The buses have traveled to New
York City;the Upper Peninsula,
Chicago, and even to the Univer-
sity surveying and geology camp
at Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Bus service was started by the
University shortly after World War
II when the housing shortage
made it necessary to place some
students in accommodations at
Willow Run Village. The buses
made the 12 mile trip about 15
times daily.
As housing and activity expand
on North Campus, bus service and
the number of vehicles used will'
have to be increased to meet the
new demand, according to Plant'
Department officials.
An example of this increasing
demand is the fact that three
large buses were added to the fleet
this summer. The pool will con-
tinue to expand as the University
community continues to grow.
