David Niven is an inhibited psychoanalist about to marry beauti-

Aid Plan Leaves Core Untouched

THE BIG TEN Conference has not touched
upon many problems in its newly passed pro-
gram for aid to athletes. The system fficially
proposed last week bases financial assistance
on Economic need with an outside regulatory
agency determining the amount which can be
granted to the individual.
All Western Conference colleges are there-
by placed on a more equal basis in what they
are allowed to offer. This is a step in the right
direction. At the same time, this compromise
system is not the biggest step possible.
For example, what is to keep an athlete
from finding out his "value" in the Big Ten
and comparing it with some other conference
or institution? A great deal of the bartering
and competition between colleges at present is
not limited to within one conference. Only some
of the recruiting, therefore, will be curtailed by
this new system of aid based on economic need.
Secondly, what happens to the outstanding
athlete who does not need financial assistance?
Is he left out, or will there be some reward for

his talents alone, as in the case of the outstand-
ing musician?
At the same time, what does the new plan
offer that is different in attempting to solve
the overemphasis of football as compared to
other intercollegiate sports?,
WHERE, FINALLY, in this new plan, is there
 any strong stand to combat under-the-
table aid from the still misguided alumni with
a gift for giving in secret to their favorite ath-
letes? Saying that an athlete will be ruled in-
eligible and that an institution will be repri-
manded is far less effective than some con-
crete policing action.
It is the hope of conference officials that
this new aid plan will act as a guide toward
further solving some of the moral complexities
of large-scale athletics. -The surface has been
scratched; the core is as yet untouched.

WHEN PREMIER Guy Mollet of
France sits down with Presi-
dent Eisenhower for the talks
which Secretary Dulles so long
postponed for fear of antagonizing
the Arabs, he will be setting two
near records.
Record No. 1-He will have con-
tinued in office longer than any
other postwar French Premier-if
he reaches the date of March 15,
as he undoubtedly will. He's al-
ready been in office 13 months-.
longer than any other postwar
Premier except Henri Queuille. .
Record No. 2-More important,
Mollet comes to Washington at a
time when France has no prob-
lems with,.Germany for the first
time in 100 years.
Three wars have started on the
continent of Europe because of
French-Germanur iva l r y -the
Franco-Prussian War, World War
1, and World War II.
* * * *
TODAY all questions between
France and Germany have been
settled, and the two men who gov-
ern them, Mollet and Chancellor
Adenauer, genuinely like each oth-
er.
This leads to the tvo main points
Mollet will emphasize in his talks
with Eisenhower. They are:
1. A United Europe.
2. Eur-Africa.
For years, Mollet has been
preaching a United Europe. The
seeds of that idea were planted
when he was a small boy in Arras
near the Belgian border in World
War I and watched his town get
shot up, bombarded, beaten to a
pulp first by the German armies,
then by the Allied armies, then by
the Germans.
Later he became Mayor of Arras,
later Chairman of the European
Assembly at Strasbourg; also a
member of the European Coal and

Steel Community, which has laid
the foundation for European eco-
nomic unity.
Motllet has been a tough and
open critic of Dulles's Suez poli-
cies. But there is one thing he can
thank Dulles for. France and En-
gland have been so sore at the
United States, they have worked
harder at European unity. With
the American Alliance disrupted,
they realize the importance of get-
ting along among themselves.
Premier Mollet will outline to
Eisenhower his plans for putting
European cooperation to work in
Africa-a policy which he calls
Eur-Africa.
* * *
RECENT FRENCH oil explora-
tion shows vast oil deposits in the
Sahara, enough to make Europe
independent of King Sa.'d and the
Near East. Mollet wants to develop
these in cooperation with Ger-
many, Belgium, Italy and Western
Europe.
He also wants to make Africa
part of the European Economic
Community through French and
German capital, Italian labor,
American and German machinery,
French administrative know-how.
Note-the point Mollet will
probably argue most vigorously
with Eisenhower is that Nasser has
got to go. There can be no peace
in the Near East while Nasser con-
tinues to stir up the Moslem world.
Mollet will point out that the Cairo
radio is the only radio station
reaching all the Near East 24
hours a day in 32 languages and
dialects, constantly preaching dis-
trust of the West and friendship
with Russia.

THE MUCH-vaunted lease-pur-
chase building program is bogged
down much more than the public
has ever dreamed. "Lease-pur-

naity
chase" is the plan to construct
government buildings with private
money, thm lease them to Uncle
Sam for 25 years, after which they
become government property.
The idea was concocted by bud-
get-balancers in order to prevent
the outlay of government funds
for capital expenses, and thereby
balance the budget.
However, here are the unpleas-
ant figures on what happened:
Since the.lease-purchase program
started in July 1954, 149 projects
have been approved at a cost of
$766,000,00. But only one has been
completed-a Post Office at Rock
Island, Ill.
Congressman Robert E. Jones of
Scottsbori, Ala., will expose all
this todasy or tomorrow. He will
also propose that the government
go back to the simple system used
for 170-odd years, of appropriat-
ing government money to build
post offices and other buildings.
Chief reason the lease-purchase
plan hasn't worked is because of
tight mponey. Banks and insurance
compandes aren't willing to put up
the moniey to private builders un-
less they get more than 5 per cent
interest, and a rate above 5 per
cent for government loans is con-
sidered, unreasonable. The Treas-
ury now pays around 3 per cent;
used to pay between 1 and 2 per
cent.
This is because taxes and inter-
est pgyments during the 2'-year
period. before the government in-
herits the buildings would have
doubled the cost.
Under the time-honored system
of ap propriating government mon-
ey fair government buildings, as
practced since the days of George
Washington, no taxes and no in-
terest are paid.

with Miss Rush, a love affair
which sets the doctor to wonder-
ing.
Another patient, Ginger Rogers,
the unhappy unneeded wife of
actor Dan Dailey, tells the doctor
of her husband's run-in with the
lady in auestion.
NIVEN'S marriage-eve .ques-
tioning of Miss Rush on the small
matter of her past is interrupted,
first by Dailey, then by Randall.
Dailey arrives drunk, a home-
loving man genunely concerned
over his wife's unhappiness. Ran-
dall arrives by fire escape, intent
on winning back Miss Rush.
After mixups, fights and talking
things over, Niven loses his in-
hibitions and gets the girl, Miss
Rogers and Dailey go off to a bar
to see what they can do about
their marriage and only Randall
is out in the cold.
Acting is in every case excel-
lent. Niven is alternately polished
and apopletic, while Miss Rush
brings believability and a sense
of humor to what could have been
the usual wide-eyed ingenue role.
Dailey has abandoned his danc-
ing shoes for a fine comic talent
to which Miss Rogers is a perfect
foil. Transplanting the bombas-
tic, arm-waving Wes from televi-
sion's "Mr. Peepers" to the movies
gives Randall excellent results,
but there is danger that he may
become a type.
* * *
ALTHOUGH "Oh, Men! Oh,
Women!" is a genuinely funny
picture, it's not a particularly su-
perficial one. In twitting psycho-
analysis, emotional immaturity
and marriage it is never merely
satiric, but also constructive.
And its moral, like those of
Walt Disney, is sugar-coated
enough to be palatable to even
the most obtuse adults.

AT THE STATE :
Curtis Saga
Here Again
THE STORY'S the same -only
the title has been changed to
"Mister Cory" to give Tony Curtis
another chance to push his way
through his familiar role of a
slums kid trying to make a place
for himself in the high class world
of snobbery.
This time Curtis hails from Chi-
cago's big, bad Sangamon Street
and, as usual, knows everything.
It isn't long before he's' crashed
society and made his reputation
as a gambler.
And, as any avid movie-goer
knows, wagering and women and
whisky aren't compatible for long,
and the outcome of a film headed
in that direction is inevitably one
of violence, heroism and blood.
Ah, but "Mister Cory" is an ex-
ception here. Yes, there's violence,
heroism and blood, but in such
small quantities they only serve to
make a pass at tradition.
* * *
INSTEAD, by the time the cast
has reached the end of "Mister
Cory" it's ready to laugh the whole
story off as a bad joke, and that's
what happens.bThe only unhappy
character by film's end is the big-
time gambler whose house the po-
lice are about to raid-but that's
what he gets for not being nice to
Mister Cory.
Curtis, in spite of the personal
training he's had for the role and
the number of times he's don it,
has a hard time shouldering the
whole picture, bare as those shoul-
ders may be.
Universal International thought
of this and put Martha Hyer in the
cast. As an actress she's sloppy,
but'the obviousresemblance to

Grace Kelly keeps male eyes on
her no matter what she does. Fe-
male eyes, of course, are on Cur-
tis, no matter what he does.
Then there's Charles Bickford,
who's awfully good at standing
around with a glass in his hand.
Brunette Kathryn Grant rests the
eyes strained from staring at
Grace Kelly's double.
* * *
IT ALL takes place at a wealthy
resort and in various gambling
casinos, and, naturally, on the
beach.
It's all been done before, per-
haps never with exactly the same
flavor, but the spirit is there.
That's the American spirit-no
matter who you are, no matter
where you come from, you, too,
can get ahead in the world if you
know it all and apply yourself
(whether you do it legally or not).
"Mister Cory" is a two-month
picture. That's 'l the time it takes
to forget you even saw it or heard

SGC Deserves Full Evaluation

STUDENT Government Council deserves a
comprehensive evaluation,
Evidence at last week's meeting of the com-
mittee evaluating SGC indicates that lack of
time might mean a superficial report to the
Regents in April.
Despite valid personal considerations of
some committee members, evaluation of the
effectiveness of SGC during its two-year exis-
tence should be as comprehensive as possible,
not as comprehensive as time will allow.
Since most evaluation committee members
think a thorough, critical study of the Council
is advisable, a request for a temporary exten-
sion of the trial period would answer the com-
plaint of insufficient time.
There are valid grounds for not requesting
the Regents to formally approve SGC until
full consideration is given various opinions
of the Council, as to both the scope of its
powers and its internal organization.
Regents' acceptance of SGC and removal of
the trial status would make difficult future
changes in philosophy and implementation of
student government at the University. If the
Regents were to approvethe idea of SGC,
leaving it free to make future changes in or-
ganization, it still would be impossible for peo-
ple who disapproved of the scope of the Coun-
cil's authority to argue their position.
MUCH TIME and energy went into formula-
tion of the SGC plan before it entered its
first two years of existence, but it was impos-
sible to know how the idea would work until
actually implemented. Its acceptance was con-
tingent in many quarters upon a complete
e+.gbivofe ir Pn n .ci+tm u+rn-to Pin+4rnrn~aa

would turn out, they would not have approved
it on a tentative basis.
Now the Regents and other interested par-
ties have had a chance to see SGC in opera-
tion. It has been translated from a three-page
plan into actuality. And some people are dis-
satisfied.
While many believe the Council's present
powers are reasonable and should be spelled
out in order to make them clear, others be-
lieve its present authority should be contracted
and ,its powers limited.
From a structural standpoint, some think
larger membership would make for more ef-
fective operation of SGC. Other possible con-
siderations are different methods of electing
members and the exclusion of ex-officios from
the Council.
Whether criticisms center around the need
for a stronger Council - and we believe there
is need for strengthening of certain areas in
the present plan which is basically good-or
point up the advisability of limiting its pow-
ers, any evaluation which does not consider
these criticisms is a superficial one.
jOREOVER, if the Council is not given a
critical, comprehensive survey now, its fu-
ture effectiveness will be hindered. Criticisms
and dissatisfactions will not vanish, but will
continue to plague Council members until it
is shown that the Council is strong enough to
stand up under these criticisms, that there is
more justification for the philosophy and op-
eration of SGC than for the criticism.
If it is made apparent that the administra-
tion and the Council have teamed up to prove
the assumntion that SGC is effective rather,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:
A Visit to Soviet Siberia?

on~tonous Siberia .. .
To the Editor:
MISS NADYA SPASSENKO, at
first I smiled to read about
your call for a flood of enraptured
students to swamp the administra-
tion with demands for an exchange
program with that citadel of high-
er learning and liberal thought
(including the Five year plans)
the University of Moscow.
I think that if you realistically
consider the matter, you will find
that the lack of such a program is
not due to the sinful laxity of the
University's administration, but
ratheris only a representative
demonstration of the law of supply
and demand in action.
The reason for the complete lack
of enthusiasm for such a program
comes to most by written example,
and to a skeptical few, like you, by
unfortunate experience.
I think what you have to learn
from Russia can be best demon-
strated by the fact that if, while
in Russia you write such a letter

Kissing Ban Saddening]
To the Editor:
IT WAS with genuine regret and
concern that I read the Daily
story regarding the possibility of
reducing kissing in Stockwell. The
news is one of the worst heard re-
all men of goodwill who are in-
cently and will undoubtedly shock
terested in developing friendlier
and closer relationship with mem-
bers of the opposite sex.
Kissing is an institution as old
as mankind itself. Our forefath-
ers have done it. We do it. And so
will our children, God willing.
To ban kissing is to deprive us
of what may truly be called an
'inalienable right." It is, indeed,
necessary for the pursuit of hap-
piness. Kissing, without doubt, is
one of our most cherished free-
doms and to ban it is to '.iolate
one of the most basic of human
rights.
Furthermore, in a community
like Ann Arbor, we have to con-

tween the many nationalities rep-
resesnted in this great university.
If kissing is banned, that would
be a sad day for all of us.

Grades and Dollars .. .
Ta the Editor:
INCE the Letters to the Editor
column is a repository for odd
ideas of crackpots, this sugges-
tion should not be out of place.
The University could solve its
financial and scholarship worries
simultaneously with the follow-
ing plan: Charge a basic tuition
of 300 dollars per semester. De-
duct from this 100 if grade point
aver 2.0, 150 if grade point over
2.3, 200 if gradepoint over 2.6, 250
if grade point over 3.0 and give a
free ride to people who pull 3.5
oar better.
. This plan would have the fol-
lowing advantages for the under-
graduates. 1. It would make tui-
tion scholarships a thing of the
past. 2. It would cut enrollment,
