AT THE STATE:
Don't Miss 'Killing'
TITH A SHOW of reluctance, the State theatre people have brought
"The Killing" to Ann Arbor. and billed it as a "sleeper." which is
to say, a little advertised film of surprisingly good quality.
"The Killing" is this, and more. It is a fast-moving and suspense-
filled crime story, well directed, with a carefully chosen cast, and is
realistically done. too.
All this is accomplished without benefit of wide-screen, stereo-
phonic sound, color, marilyn monroe, jack webb. or cinema-scope.

SGC Votes Fairly;
Local's Actions Puzzling
F. .z.-
TUDENT Government Council did a fine job
Wednesday night. Their decision, and the
tionale that supports it, is beyond question.
ae 12 Council members who ruled Sigma
appa in violation of University regulations
fused to be sidetracked by irrelevant con-
derations.
They reasoned that the national sorority's
tions at Cornell and Tufts could be explained
tisfactorily only by the national council.
ad since the national council refused to ex-
ain it, it was reasonable to assume that the
spensions were taken for the obvious reason
-pledging Negroes.
We are in full accord with Dean Bacon's
ntention, lucidly presented on the Council
oor, that the University recognizes a national
rority and not just a local group.
The final vote was especially commendable
that many Council members put their ob-
ation to enforce University regulations ahead
personal considerations. When SGC was es-
blished there was . a fear that members
uld place their particular organizations
ahead of the student body.

" ,
HILE we recognize that local Sigma Kappa
is i'n an extremely tough position, we ques-
tion several of their actions. Calling the Board
in Review is, in this instance, totally unwar-
ranted. SGC has explicit jurisdiction over Sig-
ma Kappa. Further, the Board of Regents and
the administration both adopted the 1949 SAC
ruling as University policy when it was passed..
The Review Board. can only act in questions
of jurisdiction or regental or administrative
policy.
We are at a loss to understand why the lo-
cal chapter continues to cling so stubbornly
to a national that cast it adrift in a leaky
canoe and then calmly watched it drown.
If the local group would face reality and re-
alize that their national has acted in bad faith
not only with the University but with them,
they would unquestionably find SGC and Pan-
hellenic Council ready and willing to help
them.

Foreign Student Integration
"HERE are approximately fourteen hundred
foreign students on this campus from 81
untries over the world. While their main
arpose in coming to the University is to
udy in specific fields, a great majority of
em are also intensely interested in the -Amer-
an people, their language, customs and mores.
Though most foreign students live in resi-
nce halls or near campus in rooms and
?artments, they come in very little contact
th American students except in individaul
asses. The undergraduate foreign students
hio live in the residence halls in most cases
'e given roommates also foreign to the
nited States. Those graduate students who
ust live off campus almost invariably live
ith students of their own nationality, and
ence come in little contact with American
udents.
The reason for this rather "subtle segrega"-
on" of foreign students cannot be pinpointed
any one definite cause. American students
press little interest in meeting students from
her 'countries. Foreigners in turn seem reti-;
nt to break away from their own close-knit
ational groups.
Because foreign students are segregated in
their own littlegroups with reference to hous-
ing, a possible solution to this problem might
be to attempt an integration program - espe-
cially in the residence halls. Most foreign stu-
dents prefer Americans for roommates, but un-
fortunately this preference is not reciprocal.
The director of the International Center,
Dr. Davis, has submtited a plan to the admin-
istration which proposed an international
house in which both American and foreign
graduate students could be housed. This pro-
posal, if implemented, might lead to integra-
tion of American and international students
in undergraduate housing.
Just housing these students togethes, how-
ever would merely be the mechanical proce s
of mixing nationalities. The real answer to
integration lies in the dissolution of the in-
tangible discriminatory barriers which separ-
ate these two groups on campus - something
which the administration alone cannot accom-
plish.

TODAY AND TOMORROW:
Puppets and Aggrssors
The black-and-white photography
is excellent, and even the dialog
comes off natural-like.
Sterling Hayden, Elisha Cook,
Vince Edwards and Jay C. Flippen,
play four would-be race-track
robbers; Coleen Gray and Marie
Windsor are their girls, and, for a
welcome change, theser people are
all competant and fit their part
well.
The film is provided with a nar-
rator who explains the somewhat
involved time sequences. As the
various bits and sections of this
well-planned robbery begin to fit
chronologically into place, the
overall effect is one of great sus-
pense, considerably heightened by
the musical score.
With colossal epics like "Giant,"
"The Ten Commandments," on the
near horizon, it is somehow grati-
fying to find a good film produced
for maybe $54,00 which can cer-
tainly compete with these multi-
million affairs on almost any basis,
except perhaps that of sheer noise.
/ In retrospect, it seems a trifle
unexpected that "The Killing"
should come to Ann Arbor at all;
I half expected to find-it at some
obscure Detroit theatre that I
wouldn't even be able to find. But
here it is, and it beats anything
in town, except possibly "Briga-
doon" which is a special case.
r*
I HESITATE to reveal much
more about the plot of "Killing"
since the carefully built suspense
would be seriously impaired by
such a disclosure.
But, for the benefit of people
who require such previews, is may
be said that the story concerns
five rather average people, an ex-
con and organizer, a race-track
bartender, a race-track cashier
with an expensive wife, a cop, and
an investor, who rob a race track.
With a continuous series of well-
timed flash-backs, the film is rap-
idly brought to its conclusion:
wholesale retribution for the
thieves, and wholesale, shattering
of nerves for the audience.. .
Especially good, in a small part,
is a MG driving, gangster-farmer
who helps out the robbery, along
with a chess playing wrestler.
Even the minor characters are
cleverly contrived.
* * *
FOR ,THIS FILM, as perhaps
for no other, I suggest careful at-
tention be paid to the time sched-
ules at the State. The so-called
short subjects which accompany
"The Killing" are more intermin-
able than usual, and serve only to
dilute the overall effect of the'
featured film.

By WALTER LIPPMAN
THE KADAR government in
Hungary has been stalling as
long as it dared on the question
of a visit to Budapest by Mr.
Hammarskjold. He first proposed
to go there on Nov. 13, and it now
looks as if the Kadar government
might receive him on Dec. 16. Such
stalling is in itself a serious of-
fense against the United Nations.
For how, as a matter of comity
and decent respect for the world
organization, can a member re-
fuse to receive the Secretary Gen-
eral of that organization?
In the spirit, if not in the let-
ter, the Kadar government's
treatment of Mr. Hammarskjold
ment continues to stall, the least
amounts to saying that though
Hungary has diplomatic rights in
the General Assembly in New
York, the United Nations organi-
zation has no diplomatic rights
in Hungary.
This is not an acceptable doc-
trine, and if 'the Kadar govern-
that the General Assembly can do
is to suspend the right of Kadar's
representatives to participate in
the General Assembly.
KADAR'S representative in New
York, Mr. Imre Horvath, is in-
sisting that while his government
is now ready 'to negotiate about
receiving Mr. Hammarskjold, the
United Nations do not have any
legal right to concern themselves
with the Hungarian question. His
argument is that in Hungary, as
distinguished from Egypt, there
was no external military inter-
vention. "The Soviet forces were
present in Hungary with the ap-
proval of the Hungarian govern-
ment; even at the request of that
government."
This is a falsification of the is-
sue and of the historical facts. The
Soviet forces have been present
in Hungary since the end of the
World War. But the question is,
at the request of what Hungarian
government did the Soviet forces
go into action against the Hun-
garian people? The answer is that
they went into action at the re-
quest of an illegitimate govern-
ment set up by the Soviet forces
themselves.
The official record of the UN
shows that on Nov. 1 and again
on Nov. 2, the UN. received com-
munications from Imre Nagy, the
Prime Minister of Hungary. The
first one stated that the Hun-
garian government had demanded
of the Soviet Ambassador the
withdrawal of the Red Army; it
declared the neutrality of Hun-
gary and it asked for the help of
the United Nations.
The second communication,
dated Nov. 2, informed the UN
that large Soviet military units
were crossing the border and
marching toward Budapest.
** * *
THERE IS a question of prin-
ciple involved in this affair which,
if it is not effectively challenged,
would set up a most dangerous
precedent. It is the claim that a
great power may lawfully con-
quer a weaker country if it sets
up a puppet government which
approves of the conquest.
This was Hitler's favorite tech-
nique of conquest, and the men
who collaborated in Hitler's con-
quests are known as Quislings.
This is like saying that Hitler
had a right to take over Norway
because Qusiling, - who was ap-
pointed by Hitler, approved of
what Hitler did.

SGC Meeting Exemplary
THE conduct of Wednesday evening Student
Government Council meeting. was exem-
plary, a hallmark of the workings of good gov-
ernment.
While some non-germane and illogical de-
bate entered into the discussion of the diffi-
cult -Sigma Kappa question, the majority of
the presentations and questions were cogent
and pertinent to the question at hand. There
was evidence of breadth of thought, occasion-
ally some depth, as members carefully searched
for an answer.
There was further evidence of prior pre-
paration and consideration of the issue. Mem-
bers appeared to have thought out an answer,
possibly coming to a tentative conclusion, but
also seemed willing to listen and test their
thinking against the opinions of others.
Chairman Adams kept the meeting firmly
but tactfully in order. Maynard Goldman was
especially logical and germane in his debate.
Contributions from outside the Council were
noteworthy. Sigma Kappa President Barbara
Busch displayed graciousness and poise in an
extremely trying situation. Dean Bacon's state-
ments were forceful and clear. Law Professor
Reed's explanation was precise and eminently
fair.
STUDENT Government Council members
showed the strain under which they had
been placed, the seriousness with which they
took their responsibilities. If all meetings are
conducted in the atmosphere of Wednesday
evening's, the future of student government at
the University of Michigan is bright.

INTERPRETING THE NEWS: t
Lesson from the Past
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
FIEEN years ago today Japan made one of
the truly great mistakes of all history.
Tier military clique thought that by knock-
ing out a few boats she could push the United
States out of the Pacific while she secured for
herself a great empire.
Instead, the United States sent a few skir-
mishers to save Australia. While building some
more boats, she turned her back on Japan
to help whip that country's partners in Europe.
That was done while America's left hand
began to sweep back toward the northwestern
Pacific.

Then two bombs were dropped, bombs the
like of which man had never seen before, and
Japan became a paper tiger. American troops
en route from Europe for the invasion of Japan
stopped off at home.
The United States had given a display of
military might never even dreamed of by any-
one,
THE military leaders of the Axis brought to
heel, America extended her bounty to the
peoples she had fought, and they became her
allies.
What would the world be like today if Ger-
many, Japan and Italy had, in 1939, accepted
President Roosevelt's suggestion that they join
in a great movement to make a better world
for all instead of trying to tear off pieces of the
same old body for themselves?
Nobody can know. The ties which bind the
free world today, in the face of the Russian
threat, are none too' strong.
The Russian menace would have had to be
faced anyway. That war foreordained by the
nature of Communist expansionism.
Russia would not, however, have been handed
her postwar gains. Without the fright given
her by Germany she might never have devel-
oped the concept of an Eastern European buf-
fer area held by force.

About That Riot.
To the Editor:
WE seemto have had a little
riot over here at West Quad
the other evening - perhaps you
heard. I guess that it was meant
as the traditional alternative to
"fighting City Hall", that you
hear so much about these days,
and about all that could be said
for the effort was that it was
little enough - though it's been
getting bigger all the time. From
my room I could hear them 'way
over in the south courtyard and
I thought about going on over and
taking a look, but I was kinda busy
at the time and I've already seen
a riot anyway.
But it reminded me of a very
similar incident that happened
some years ago while I was on a
government-sponsored tour of the
Far East, observing conditions
there. I was attached to a sporty,
little white ship with red crosses
emblazoned rather prominently
here and there to proclaim the
fact that we were lovers, not
fighters. It was the god life: plen-
ty to do; no drinking or wild par-
ties. But there's always something,
don't you know, and in this case
it was the food - it just wasn't
at all like Mother's. Oh. it was
wholesome and all like that, but
somehow it nearly always looked
like chicken-ala-king.
Well, it wouldn't have been too
bad, I guess, but we couldn't
brush after every meal, so we de-
cided to do something about it. We
considered a small, but intense
demonstration. much like the one
over in the south court the other
niurt.h+ lt wP m A man e~n rr.TnnA
and garbage lines until they met
and became but one. Then we re-
paired en masse to the ship's
store and loaded up on candy.
That very night our highest hopes
blossomed when the garbage scow
(Qr sanitation lighter, as its crew
preferred that it be called)
swamped and sank rather sud-
denly under our fantail. Fortu-
nately, there was no tragic loss
of life (its skipper was a non-
commissioned officer and not
bound by the traditions of the
sea), but there was a tremendous
loss of garbage. The effect was a
rather unsightly mess which, we
felt confident, would inspire some
sort of investigation. For my own
part, I felt certain that the meals,
would improve immediately.
Actually, though, they didn't;
if anything, they got even worse.
What we didn't realize was that
the meals were planned ahead -
rather far ahead, as a matter of
fact - and it took something on
the order of- an act of Congress
to change a menu. What we
should have done, of course, was
gone straight to the top in the be-
ginning. Eventually somebody
wrote to Walter Winchell and I
guess it did get squared away
then, but I don't know for sure,
'cause I got transferred to a car-
rier about that time and never
bothered to inquire further - lack
of interest, I guess you could call
it.
Sunday evening my supper con-
sisted of two candy bars. Being
of an economical turn of mind
these days, I chose Beyer's pea-
nut butter cups. They don't taste
very good, but each contains a
little coupon and, if I save two
hundred forty-eight more of them,
7 get ten free candy bars. I've been

School in Israel).
To the Editor:
believe you know what hap-
pened here in the last few
weeks: our Zahal (The Army of
Defense of Israel) has wiped out
the nests of the murderers in Si-
nai and Gaza. These hired mur-
derers, called "the Phedayins"
kept coming in the nights, putting
mines and attacking peaceful vil-
lages. They killed, not long ago,
a woman who worked in the fields
near her village; they killed men
who arranged water supply for the
dry Negev; they threw a grenade
into a "children's house"

All the nation is united in the
strong belief that there was no
other itay! We are not aggres-
sors: we're "only defending our
lives and our right to live peace-
fully and build this country.
Our army is an army of de-
fense; many of the soldiers who
freed Sinai of the gangs weren't
youngsters. They were farmers
and teachers who left plow and
pen, that their children can study
peacefully without cruel hand

The whole nation was actually
living with its soldiers - for ev-

everyone was anxious for the sol-
diers who had to do it.
We are all hoping that a true
peace will be established - and
soon!
