Allen Says .
By RONALD KOTULAK
"Few indeed are ,the unaided
steps Britain can take," without
American support, Prof. H. C. Al-
len said yesterday in discussing
the "British Predicament."
Prof. Allen, presently acting as
Commonwealth Fund Professor of.
American history at the Univer-
sity of London, said that the "Pre-
dicament" stems from Britain's
iteprialistic, trade, and power,
history.
In contrast to the time when
Great Britain was the greatest
power in the world, Prof. Allen
noted that now "She, more than
any other natiori" is dependent
upon the United States.
'But, warning Americans to be
cautious of their new role, he said,
"The future of the free wqrld de-
pends on Anglo-American unity."
Britain Affected
Analyzing the Suez crisis, he
said that Britons were deeply af-
fected by Egypt's nationalization
of the Suez Canal, because it pre-
sented an impasse to their vital
trade routes. Tory elements in the
government, which have continu-
ally favored imperialism, probab-
ly influenced Sir Anthony Eden's
decision to invade Egypt, he said.
People Disturbed
Pressure also arose from a sub-
stantial minority of people dis-,

.To the list of "facts" which just
aren't so must be added the be-
lief that gifted children are usu-
ally awkward, frail, and emotion-
ally unstable, says Prof. Warren
A. Ketcham of the School of Edu-
cation.
Prof. Ketcham claims instead
that "giftedness is something
which, in a large majority of
cases, touches the whole indi-
vidual."
"As a group," he notes, "gifted
children are not only smarter
than other children. They are also
larger, stronger, healthier, better
adjuster, and more talented than
other children of the same age."
Prof. Ketcham also observes
that "as they grow older, gifted
children show an increase in their
superiority over other children.'
According to Prof. Ketcham,
the reason for the popular mis-'
conception of gifted children may
lie in the fact that "several im-
portant personal characteristics of
gifted children are liable to con-
?use and mislead their parents
pent-up feelings on'the. Suez con-
flict.
Prof. Allen described their reac-
tions as, "the long nerve of Brit-
ish Imperialism exposed and
touched upon the, raw."I
No other great power emulates,
Britain's dependence on over-seas
traffic, to support their national
economy.
With increasing emph sis
placed on import and export btisi-
nesswhich began with the mer-
cantile growth In the 19th cen-
tury, more Britons "are becoming
dependent on the state of inter-
national free-trade. .
U.S. Moving Ahead
British naval power has de-
clined to third in the world with
"the United States and Russia
widening the gap," Prof. Allen
said.
He added that if Britain is ex-
periencing a period 'of decline,
America, in full measure, is "sky-
rocketing ahead."
In case of war, he said that,
Britain alone cannot defeat Rus-
sia. Epitomizing the "British Pre-
-dicament," Prof. Allen said, "On
all major issues where America
will not go, she cannot go."
GrayA reas

"Fall-out" of the non-radioac-
tive variety may be responsible for
"extensive dark gray areas and
some of the 'canals' on Mars,"
according to Prof. Dean B. Mc-
Laughlin of the astronomy de-
partment.
Prof., McLaughlin postulates
that violent volcanic eruptions
may have caused the ash. Winds
may then have distributed the
ash and. caused the red dust of
the Martian deserts to obliterate
the markings of volcanic action.
Several decades ago, a small
group of astronomers postulated
that the narrow strips on the sur-
face- of Mars were artificial can-
als to. carry water from melting
polar ice-caps for irrigation pur-
poses.
Their postulates, whidh'came at
a time when knowledge of physi-
cal cnditions on Mars was slight,
gave rise to popular belief that
Mars was a dying planet whose
inhabitants were suffering from
acute water shortage, Prof. Mc-
Laughlin said.
"Apparently the wish to discov-
er beings like ourselves on other
planets is stronger than regard,
for fact,"he noted.
Prof. McLaughlin ttributes the
seasonal color on Mars to thie
covering of dark areas by lighter,
wind-blown dust and the pos-
sible deposition of moisture to.
cause seasonal darkening.
'Speculating on the meaning of
the volcanic activity and extreme
dryness of Mars, Prof. McLaugh-
lin says that Mars may actually
be in the infant stages of plane-
tary development.
He notes that it may be "justy
now going through the stage: of
development through which the
earth passed three billion years
ago."
Prof. McLaughlin 'observes that
"many geologists now hold the
view that ouroceans represent a
gradual accumulation of - water
that issued from the earth's in-
terior in volcanic eruptions."
"If this is so," he added, "per-
haps the development of oceans
and the evolution of higher types
of life belong to Mars' future"'
Mars may already be occupied
by some forms of vegetation. Prof.
McLaughlin said that while there
is no convincing evidence for its
presence, the existence of vegeta-
tion has not bee disproved.
Gothic Film Society-old films?
In contrast to popular belief,
Gothic's aim is not to show films
merely because they are old but
to select films because of their
reputation, accessibility and cine-
matic interest to its members.
These films, chosen because of
their art form, illustrate a parti-
cular interest in camera tech-
nique, acting, sets or script, ac-
cording to Herbert Salt2stein,
president .of the society. Enjoy-
ment is also an important cri-
terian for their selection.
Gothic sponsors ten films,
many of them foreign, during the
year for its membersl These are
chosen on the basis of suggestions
from themembers of the previous
year.
Program notes telling about the
film, its .history, and containing
reviews by critics are provided.
Occasionally guest speakers will
talk on the film's background pre-
ceding a showing.

He notes that "the gifted child's
curiosity, persistence, purposeful-
ness, and 'sensitivity, frequently
irritate adults.". Because of these
facets of his character, the child
may appear to be disobedient, in-
attentive, and unstable.
To identify the "gifted," Prof.
Ketcham claims that while group
intelligence tests may be useful
for screening purposes, a good in-
dividual intelligence test is the
most reliable method.
, "Intelligence alone is not
enough to classify a child as
"gifted" he notes.
There is general agreement;'
however, that a child must have
an IQ of at. least 130 in order to
be termed "gifted."
' 12,000 'bandsmen will gather
for, the largest single musica'
event in the state, and the larg-
est massed band ever to assembl
anywhere in the world.
The program will include, "A
Santa Cecilia" by Radaelli, "Wit h
A Little Bit Of Luck" by Frederick
Lowe, "Americans We" by Henry
Fillmore, and "El Gaucho" by' Ted
Mesang. If there is time for an-
other number, either Hoagy Car-
michael's "Stardust" or Fillmore's
"Shoutin Liza Trombone" will be
played.
During the pre-game show of
the Michigan Marching Band 1,-
000 baton twirlers will march cut
on the field and stand at atten-
tion durjng the playing of "Yellow
and Blue." A twirling exhibition
during the playing of "Touch-
down U.S.A." will end the pre-
game show.
About 400 buses covering over
25,000 miles will transport the
students to Ann Arbor. 52,000
