The two are synony- mous, for the crashing, highly spirited style they represent. This swinging band, with more than overtones of jazz arrangement is tour- ing America for the first time, in an exchange agreement with Stan Kenton, who is visiting England. Heath does a great deal with his sixteen piece group, featuring a large brass section, a wildly great drummer, Ronnie Verril, and an eccentric but talented bass man, who keeps the comedy running smoothly with his facial contortions and tete-a-tete with Ronnie. The audience is given a thorough example of the groups' talents as attention is shifted from a George Shearing piano arrangement of "Lullaby of Birdland," to the rhythmic, "Madagascar," and then, lights out! for their glow-in-the-dark rendition of "Jungle Drums." THERE WERE moients when the line between the big sound and ordinary brashness was crossed, and an unfortunate screaming A, 1 An Open Letter To Dean B acon DEAR DEAN BACON: AUCERED milk left in the cupboard will sour. Ideas do not possess the same chemi- cal structure. Ideas can, and do, live - some- times for centuries. We were rather startled to discover "Harry Lunn's viewpoint is way out of date." Mr. Lunn was an undergraduate student less than three years ago. Surely, ideas do not become defunct that quickly. Although you tell us three years is a "whole (university) generation," we must agree with those little men in the Halls of Angell and Haven who find historical continuity between Plato and Presley. And we think there must be some continuity between the student of 1954 and 1957, especially if it is represented by Mr. Lunn. After all, Mr. Lunn has been in contact with students since graduating from the University, and two years' work with the National Students Association does not really leave a man's mind "way out of date." YOUR ADDITIONAL statement to Mr. Baad, "They'll never have heard of you either," has validity, the same kind of validity in say- ing that you, too, will be forgotten one day. But, as long as we are at the University, we have to remember Mr. Baad's and Mr. Lunn's ideas are with us; and since we cannot always live from moment to moment, we shall need recourse to other means of disproving an idea's validity than predicting anonymity for its hoary supporters or counting its grey hairs. There is an essential difference between hu- man beings and tsetse flies: people have an in- tellectual connection with previous genera- tions; the tsetse learns by instinct. We strongly urge you forget individuals in dealing with ideas: ideas have a strange way of living longer than the generations who ad- vocate them. -ERNEST THEODOSSIN Too Many Panels? A FAIR GUESS is that everybody connected with Tuesday night's IHC symposium ex- perienced a great deal of embarrassment. The 18 members of the audience were em- barrassed, because they were the only people there. IHC officials were embarrased because they had planned the program and nobody was there. And probably Dr. Kuizenga, ex- pected to address a great many more people, and was embarrassed. Attendance of only 18 people is more than poor; it is next to nothing on a campus of 20,- 000. Undoubtedly a great many righteous souls become distraught by this apathy and are eager to pin the blame on whomever is most convenient. However, the blame lies with a great many people. A quick .look at the calendar will show there are a vast number of lectures, panels and debates every week. Every group must sponsor at least one "to present a service to campus" and incidentally earn prestige. Perhaps the saturation point has been reached. The Middle East, for ex- ample, has been discussed at least six times so far this year. IHC chose the topic Protestantism for their most recent symposium. This should have Deen interesting to a great many people, but in the swarm of debates, panels and lectures, it can not stand out enough to attract people. JHC OFFICIALS were upset because they had only placed one poster on each bulletin board, and next time they'll "know better." But even if they add six, they will be difficult to single out from the patch-work' mass that are University bulletin boards. Every poster announces the importance of whatever dis- cussion it is boosting. The result is chaos. Perhaps students are at fault too, if it is a sin to be disinterested in most of these topics. But the fact remains they are disinterested, and University organizations should be aware of this. We recommend that groups think twice, be- fore sponsoring panels, debates, and lectures. Just ask "Do we have something, new and worthwhile, to offer the campus? Do we have speakers who have something to say? Or do we just want to have another panel?" By following these simple rules a great deal of discomfort could be spared a great many people. -RICHARD TAUB Stockwell Women - Be Not Concerned MEMO to the women of Stockwell: It has been claimed that certain members of your residence are behaving in a highly un- lady-like manner in the lounges - and are rather indignant about being told so. Since this is obviously the work of a few Victorian reactionaries, we suggest you ap- proach and handle these Victorians with care and understanding. Try to be lenient toward violators, women of Stockwell, lest you further step on any dignity and pride they may possess. Because if you start questioning their dignity you may also injure their self-respect even though these girls possess this characteristic in abundance - particularly when in their lounges. And do not worry about those who claim embarrassment at the lounge frolicking. Sure- ly, if these people really wanted to, they could become involved in a deep philosophical dis- cussion - or at least one psychological, using empirical observation, of course. Primarily, women of Stockwell, do not be too concerned or critical toward these girls - they'll grow up in time. --DAVID TARR INTERPRETING THE NEWS: A Step Toward European Integration effect was the result, but usual- ly, balance was achieved. June Christy controlled the audience and orchestra - it could hardly be otherwise - with her perfectly professional approach, excellent timing and off-beat note accent. She is a highly flexible singer because her style allows her to improvise, meeting the im- promptu requirements of a jazz vocalist. Without obviousness. she manages to convey an inten- sity of expression. especially ef- fertive in "Midnight Sun," and her own classic. "Something Cool." A pleasant surprise followed with Eddie Heywood, who em- phasized jazz arrangements in his quiet, refreshing style, and left his two popular hits, unmen- tioned, for the encores. The usual repeated melodic figures which underscore many of his arrange- ments were less predominant, with more variation employed to bring out the subtleties of "Funny Valentine," and "Sum- mertime." He was backed by an unpretentious drummer and in- teresting bass which completed the well knit trio.' The group maintained an intimate atmos- phere, which is next to impossible in Hill Auditorium. AL HIBBLER rounded out the show, hitting high spots only on "Because of You," and his inimi- table, "After the Lights Go Down Low." Considering the limitations of a show of this type in an auditor- ium the size of Hill, the group managed to establish a sense of rapport with the audience and came off with a success that will be recalled after the last scream has died away. -Sandy Edelman New Books at Library Habe, Hans - Off Limits; N.Y., Frederick Fell, 1956.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst WHILE Secretary Dulles has been watching the United Na- tions for development of a legal world order, European statesmen have been quietly arranging the next step in their own integration. They have agreed to set up an atomic energy community for joint development which is close kin to the coal and steel community set up some years ago. They are also establishing a common market under a customs union such as the one undertaken by Holland, Belgium and Luxem- bourg immediately after World War II, these countries now join- ing with France, Italy, and West Germany. This is a step which has long been urged by the United States, which has cited the example of the importance of her own national market in her development. *U c i* * STILL UNDER consideration in Europe is a plan for turning this common market into a free trade area and the inclusion of Britain along with the African territories of all members. Development of the common market, and of the free trade area if it comes about, is recognized as requiring years for completion, during which some leaders will continue to urge increasing politi- cal unity as needed for govern- ments of the economic union. Some of these leaders have kept Britain in fright over talk of an eventual federation - a United States of Europe, which she would either have to join or stand aside while a great new power grows up across the channel. JUST WHAT such a new power would mean in the search for a world order cannot be known until the condition of the world at the time is known. The development of Russia from a second-class European power in- to a world power has torn the world apart. It would have changed things vastly regardless of wheth- er it occurred under communism. Establishment of a world order presumes a certain amount of sur- render of individual national soy- ereignties. That's what Dulles meant when he viewed recent de- velopments in the United Nations with Britain and France bowing to public opinion in the Suez case, as perhaps advancing the cause of a world order. THE EMERGENCE oT new na- tional states, especially large ones, ordinarily increases nationalism and claims to national sovereignty. This might not be entirely true of a new Europe created through the surrender of certain already well-established sovereignties. It could, however, centralize the power of an area which is now divided, and so create, under cer- tain conditions, a new competitor for world power.

SUGGESTIONS TO RESIGN: Antagonism Flashes for Secretary of State Dulles Prize for ISA Forum PRIZE for the year's most absurd forum goes to International Student Association for its discussion "Is Democracy a Farce?" Thursday evening. Seldom have less valid and more illogical arguments been heard in a supposedly scholar- ly environment. First, democracy was defined as existing in unadulaterated form in the era of Greek city- states, a definition which has no basis in fact and is thus an invalid premise. No political scientist will contend that democracy as prac- ticed in Athens was pure and completely ideal- istic. Secondly, to take democracy as practiced in another land over two thousand years ago as a standard and measure contemporary American democracy against it is highly ques- tionable from a logical standpoint. A far more appropriate and worthy topic would have been to ascertain the fundamental ideals of Ameri- can democracy, as conceived by Americans, Editorial Staff RICHARD SNYDER, Editor RICHARD HALLORAN LEE MARKS Editorial Director City Editor GAIL -GOLDSTEIN .... ..

Assocaite Business Manager WILLIAM PUSCH..............Advertising Manager and then determine how well in practice these ideals are met. Substantively, no thinking American will claim perfection and in many instances will admit lamentable deviation from expressed ideals. But this does not negate the value of the affirmative aspects of a democrat- ic society. T HE SPEAKER who claimed that self-gov- ernment does not exist within the United States except every four years when the people go to the ballot box would do well to attend a meeting of the Ann Arbor City Council or take a trip to a rural locality where town meetings are held in which all citizens of the constituency have a right to speak and vote. A study of the motivations and processes of representative government might also be in order. Self-government in these United States is not, fortunately, to be seen in the big splashy campaigns but in the unobtrusive daily con- duct of the affairs of the community. The contention that the American people have the freedom and right to speak only within constitutional limits and present laws is correct. But the conclusion that thus they do not have freedom is illogical. A reading of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Zacariah Chaffee, and Harold Medina to discover the constitutional limits and how they apply would have contri- buted considerably more than the poorly rea- soned statement presented during the forum. No American citizen has the right to slander his neighbor-but this can hardly be described as a limitation on the freedom of speech when the right of every American to be protected from slander is considered, LASTLY, with the exception of one speaker, no mention was made of the inalienable rights of the individual. Herein lies the ideal of equality, not in "51 per cent ruling 49 per cent." The assumption that majority rule is absolute has no basis in either theory or fact. Within its sphere, however, we find it more By The Associated Press 'WHEN Sir Anthony Edenresign- ed recently as British Prime minister, various polite suggestions were made in London and in pri- vate talks among foreign diplo- mats here that Anglo-American relations would be improved if Secretary of State Dulles also step- ped aside. These flashes of antagonism for the Eisenhower administration's top diplomat hardly faded on the horizon when a group of Senate Democrats thundered into action against Dulles. These events have inevitably raised the question whether Dulles is about washed up as director of U.S. foreign policy. President Eisenhower has shown no sign of weakening in his support for his secretary of state. Nor has Dulles shown any sign of giving up the position for which he dreamed, schemed and trained himself over a period of more than 40 years. Yet there can be no doubt that nearing the age of 69-his birth- day is Feb. 25-John Foster Dulles is facing one of the toughest fights of his long and combative career. He is coming now to realize what his predecessors in the top Cabi- net spot have all found out through bitter experience: * * * THAT ALONE among govern- ment ministers the secretary of state has no constituents-as the secretary of agriculture has the farmers-that he is always sus- pect for dealing with foreigners and that he is responsible for-mis- haps beyond his control. Dulles has now been in charge of foreign affairs in Washington for years. He is not approaching a record for durability; the late Cor- dell Hull held the post for more than a decade. But four turbulent vearo nf sticrm h with Russia. of out much of the reserve of- good will and of respect which almost always attaches to a new man in the job. * * * HE HAS achieved some results, such as stalling the British-French attack on Egypt over Suez last fall, at the cost of confidence by others in his word and intention. He has lost the aura of a repu- tation for almost infallible know- ledge of foreign affairs which once blunted the questions of congress- men and even discouraged the per- sistent probings of senators. Dulles got into politics late. He associated himself with New York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey in the 1940s as an adviser on foreign policy. He was in line to be secre- tary of state in 1944 and again in '48, but Dewey lost. Dulles thus knew the bitterness of defeat for his long-cherished dream and learned the need for political maneuver and a broad base of support. * * * HE SERVED briefly in the U.S. Senate under an appointment by Dewey, Later he associated him- self with Eisenhower t an early time in the President's own be- lated political career and there was never much doubt that he wouldnbe secretary of state if Eisenhower won. Dulles' most brilliant perform- ance in foreign affairs before he took office came in 1950-51 when he was working as an adviser to Secretary of State Dean Acheson and negotiated the Japanese Peace Treaty. In 1952, after Dulles had worked with the Democrats closely for several years, he resigned and entered Eisenhower's presidential campaign. His criticism of foreign policy on fundamental points with respect to the Far East and Europe was what he considered vigorous, miles, more than 14 times around the world. One thing which never seems to upset Dulles is an inconsistent, even glaring contradiction in his own position. This has repeatedly astonished his friends and critics alike. It may be one of the reasons why the heavy burden of his work never seems to weigh him down. He acts on the moment as meas- ured by his concept of major U.S. interests and his own position. A lack of trust in Dules on the part of at least the Democratic elements was bluntly stated by opposition senators when the sec- retary took his arguments before the Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees. Since it seemed clear that essential ele- ments of the Eisenhower proposal to use troops if necessary in the Middle East would be voted, the opposition appeared to run pri- marily to a lack of confidence in Dulles and an unwillingness to give him and the President what they wanted almost without ques- tion. The reverses Dulles has suf- fered in his relations with Con.. gress and with the Allies have not had any apparent effect on his health. His rugged constitution has shown itself capable of ab- sorbing burdens and blows that would have broken many other public men. Dulles' record is studded with a long list of foreign policy suc- cesses. He helped Eisenhower put an end to the Korean War within a few months after taking office. Dulles later claimed that he let the Red Chinese know that the war, would be broadened if they didn't make a deal. He saw Iran pull back from the edge of a Communist coup and restored as an ally and friend of the West. I. i __- LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler - aL ,I
