To Capacty Audience
AN OVERFLOW AUDIENCE with more than 80 persons seatec
the stage greeted Rise Stevens as she opened the Seventy-N
Choral Union Concert Series in Hill Auditorium last night. Miss
vens appeared in place of the indisposed Lily Pons who had b
scheduled to' sing.
Despite the rather tepid reception accorded her, Rise Stever
without doubt one of the most popular personalities on our cone
stage today. Few other singers can perform virtually the same V
gram time after time and still elicit huge and responsive audience
does Miss Stevens.
Through her very numerous appearances in opera, concert,
television and in movies, the soprano has made her nane a house]
word in this country, even among relative musical illiterates.
The program contained many numbers which are cliches w
Miss Stevens, with which her name is linked almost as often as
proverbial combination of ham
and eggs. Among these were the
arias from Carmen and Samson DAILY
et Dalila.
The program opened with the OFFICIAL
aria for tenor, "Where'er you
walk" from Handel's Semele. B L E IN
Here, as in many of the songs,
Miss Stevens sang with a throaty
quality, inserting more-dramatics The Daily Official Bulletin is

why all the fuss? Nobody really cares

AND CONSIDER the dollars we have squan-
dered to buy men like Saud Cadillacs and
tanks, while his people starve amid the filth of
meager life; ripe for the harvest of communism.
And, for it all, we have not even befriended the
Sauds, for we send Israel tanks also, to be
pitted against the American tanks of Saud.
What nonsense? A nation playing with both
sides can win neither. It seems, with our enor-
mous might and working within the United Na-
tions, we could guarantee the peace of world
trouble spots without resort to the gamesman-
ship of arms-giving. But this is the pettiness,
short-sightedness and failure of power politics
- a game, the rules of which are well accepted
by the leaders in most countries but which per-
turb, frustrate and confound the masses.
And last consider the naive comments of
many congressmen when India recently turned
to the United States for a major loan. "We
can't lend money which will be used in firming
a socialist society," the concensus ran. What
understanding? Where's vision? Where's his-
torical awareness? Turn the other cheek, poor
India, to the spectre haunting you from the
East.
WHERE ARE the liberals of this day, one
wonders? Is not, as Chester Bowles hopes,
the job of the American liberal today in the
international scene?
To the "newly emancipated," which Lipp-
mann speaks of, this country has given little
more than military dollars which bring only
strife, acquiescence to rulers and colonialists
which smother the free soul and. too little
economic aid, which counts for even less when
you consider our motives.
With our great richness, with our foremost
military, with our historic background of win-
ning our freedom from colonialism-our very
Declaration of Independence, with our wartime
promises to the "newly emancipated" and still-
oppressed, with the post-war position of leader-
ship which fell to us, and with Judeo-Christian,
liberal heritage of concern for the freedom and
comfort of others, let us act and speak idealism
to the peoples who want to believe in us.

One-Way Traffic Loop
A Step in the Right Way
SOMETHING NEW has been added in the
neighborhood-namely, the one-way traffic
loop just north of the main campus, as students
with automobiles have discovered.
A number of objections have already been
raised. Many people claim the new loop is
"confusing." So is any change in driving habit;
undoubtedly the same objection was raised
when one-way driving was instituted on Fourth
and Fifth Streets. One-way driving is never
popular until people get used to it.
ANOTHER COMMON objection is that "it
takes longer to get from one place to an-
other." This is usually mentioned by those
driving south on State Street and forced to go
around three sides of 'a block instead of one.
On the other hand, if someone is driving north
on State, the trip is sinply that much' shorter,
and no one is in that big a hurry not to be able
to afford an extra minute.
Given a chance to work, the new loop should
prove to be a good thing for everyone, except
possibly those wishing to go south on State,
west on William, north on Maynard, or east
on Liberty.

SEVENTH CONFERENCE:
ISC Plans for the Future

(Editor's Note: This is the second
article of a two part series written by
former Daily Editor David Baad, who
attended the Seventh International
Student Confefrence as a staff mem-
ber of its Coordinating Secretariat.)
By DAVID BAAD
BEAUTIFUL new University Col-
lege of Nigeria, all constructed
since 1952, served as the site for
the Seventh International Student
Conference. The College, which
one United States delegate called,
"as fine as anything we have in
the States," stands on hills above
the surrounding jungles of south-
west Nigeria.
It was the first Conference in
Africa. The first in Asia was held
last September in Paradeniya,
Ceylon. Previously, Conferences
had been held in' Stockholm, Ed-
inburgh, Copenhagen, Istanbul
and Birmingham. Delegates to the,
Seventh ISC recommended that
the Eighth Conference be held in
South America. So far, an invita-
tion from Brazil has been received.
* * .- .
ALTHOUGH exciting issues like
education in Algeria, Cuba, Cy-
prus and Hungary command
prominence at Conferences, the
practical programme mandated by
the ISC keeps delegations togeth-
er between Conferences. The pro-
gramme is administered by the
Coordinating Secretariat of Na-

tional Unions ofStudents in Lei-
den, Netherlands.
The programme for next year
includes two month-long study
seminars for students from Latin
America and Asia respectively,
continued publication of a gen-
eral interest magazine, The Stu-
dent and the Information Bulle-
tin, which contains news of Na-
tional Union activities. It includes
a Pan-African Students Confer-
ence for.students from Africa, a
Latin American Students Confer-
ence and an International Student
Seminar in Europe.
These are all designed to in-
crease understanding among stu-
dents in the Conference's widely
spread participating countries. In
addition, there will be continued
efforts to. promote inexpensive
student travel, student exchange
programmes and improvement in
economic welfare of University
students.
* . *
AS IN PAST years, the ISC has
also asked for specialstudent dele-
gations to areas where Conference
participation is sparse. Next year
there will be a delegation to Nepal,
India and Pakistan and one to
Eastern Europe. In addition, one
has been suggested for the Middle
Eastern countries, to take place
after the Eighth Conference.
. A similar fraternal delegation

spent three months in nine South
American countries this past year.
The five members, from Turkey,
Tunisia, Finland, the Philippines
and the United States, talked with
students and educators to further
interest them in the programme of
the Conference.
They are now in the process of
preparing a study of the educa-
tinoal situation in South America
which will be published and circu-
lated to 'students and educators in
all parts of the world.
* * *
AFTER the Seventh Conference,
secretaries for the Coordinating
Secretariat in Leiden were chosen.
Crawford Young, former Editor of
the Michigan Daily, was selected
as one of the six Associate Secre-
taries. Hans Dall of Denmark will
be the Administrative Secretary
next year.
Young, who has been studying
in Paris the past year and has
worked two summers in the Secre-
tariat as Press- Relations Officer,
was part of a five member USNSA
delegation which included Clive
Gray, former USNSA international
vice-president, Bruce Larkin, pres-
ent international vice-president,
Dan Idzik, ex-national affairs vice-
president, and Marian McReynolds,
a participant on USNSA's recent
fraternal team to Latin America.

THERE WAS a time some years
ago. when Miss Stevens was con-r
sidered a very good Cherubino in
this opera, but her voice has be-
come heavier with time, and she
lacks the sparkle and lightness
that is so necessary for this music.
Agroup of Grieg songs com-
prised the secondspart of the pro-
,gram. All of these were sung in
English and the singer's enuncia-
tion was adequate. However, it
was in this group of songs that
she did some of her best singing
in the recital.
The last of the group, "A
Dream," gave her a chance to ex-
ploit her higher register in which
the voice brightened remarkably.
An unfortunate habit of resorting
to chest tones or producing a
rather hollow quality marred her
low notes almost throughout the
program. In "The First Meeting"
the melancholy mood was carried
out nicely.
* *
"ALLE DINGE haben sprache"
by Erich Wolff was the first of
the German group which fol-
lowed. Miss Stevens produced
some lovely soft tones here and
gave to this piece a good deal of
beauty. Hugo Wolf's "Begegnung"
received a bright performance.
The soprano's tone warmed up
considerably for Brahm's lovely
"Dein blaues Auge," but an ugly
habit of gpsping and shoulder-
heaving interfered with an other-
wise -good bit of singing. Strauss'
"Nichts" closed this group.
The ever popular aria "My
Heart at thy Sweet Voi" ,from
Saint-Saens' Samson et! Dafila
closed the first part of the pro-
gram.
Following a group of piano
pieces indifferently played by her
accompanist, Miss Stevens re-
turned with a group of songs in
English. She closed the program:
with the inevitable selections from
Carmen.
THE "Chanson Boheme" was
given an offhand performance
that was nothing short of the
worst I have ever heard from this
singer. However, it brought forth
the expected applause, which was
the first time the audience seemed
willing to try being enthusiastic,
and Miss Stevens sang Schu-
mann's "Widmung" and a little
ditty for encores.
It is often a mistake for opera
singers to take to the recital stage
with its distinct demands and
challenges. In recital the singer,
is alone, without conductor, or-
chestra, supporting singers, cos-
tumes,, scenery, and such and
must rely solely upon his voice
alone.
There are a few opera singers
who, have. managed to conquer
these problems. Unfortunately, on
the evidence of this performance,
Miss Stevens is not one of these.

COUNCIL COMMENTARY:
SGC* Discusses Ga lens, Library

TODAY AND TOMORROW:
Faubus and Beyond
By WALTER LIPPMANN

By RICHARD TAUB
Daily Staff Writei
AT WEDNESDAY night's SGC
meeting, the right of Galens
to hold a fund drive anywhere
near the campus was severely
limited; and nobody said a word.
It was quite a contrast with last
year's controversy with Galens,
which never really ended. At the
meeting last year, when Gafens
was told it couldn't hold a campus
drive outside the campus chest
program, the sky practically fell
in.
Bob Kretchmar, then president
of Galens, argued with the Coun-.
cil for hours about its rights and
Galens wants, and even passed
around pictures of the children
Galens helped.
The medical honorary took the
controversial decision to the
Board in Review, and a silent war
seemed to continue between Ga-
lens and some Council members
on the one side, and the majority
of the Council on the other.
' *s
AND THEN Galens was per-
mitted to solicit in Campus town,
so it could reach a substantial
portion of the student body.
Last night even this was denied
them, and denied them by a
Council which was in complete ac-
cord on an issue which had split
it last year.
In fact, some of the most vehe-
ment people for giving "Galens a
break" were for extending the
boundaries even farther.
What are the reasons for this
change? It is hard to say. Cer-
tainly Galens attitude has been
quite different this year. There
seems to be more of a deire for

And of course, there are many
members of the Council who want
the Campus Chest drive to be an
absolute success.
For them, there can be no re-
course but to keep Galens away
from the students. For a Galen's
campus drive immediately vio-
lates the unified drive concept.
8 And finally, the Council showed
a spirit of co-operation with Ga-
lens. The group was given permis-
sion to collect funds in East and
West medical buildings, medical
fraternities, and the Pharmacol-
ogy building.
/NO ONE can yet tell the ef-
fect of this change of the Coun-
cil and Galens until after Galens
city drive in December. But if
things don't work out well, we can
be sure there will be more trouble.
Ron Shorr, executive vice-pres-

ident of the Council, reported on
plans for open stacks in the, Un-
dergraduate Library. He empha-
sized that the treatment .of the
open stacks will take a great deal
of education on the part of the
students.
About 22,000 books are now lost-
or stolen from the general 11-
brary each year, and with open
stacks the opportunity to take
books will be much greater.
A concerted education program
is one plan of Shorr's.
He also said that projected
plans for the library call for proc-
tors walking about the study halls
to answer questions.
Don Young, '58, Union presi-
dent, wondered whether or not
this sounded "high schdolish."
If the proctors are there solely
to answer questions, this type of
program is high schoolish. In the
first =place, proctors answering
questions in a study hall, will
make noise. And noise is not ex-
actly conducive to study.
* * *
THE PROCTOR can only sub-
ject himself to ugly glares, and
he will make it difficult for stu-
dents to work. And if they have
qualified people to proctor in dif-
ferent courses, they might be bet-
ter utilized in the classrooms,
where discussion groups are too
large already.
If, however, the proctors are
there to maintain order and
watch for people who might be
interested in stealing books, this
is another matter.
Open stacks then become little
more than a shabby public rela-
tions facade. They're better locked
up. We don't need anv moreh v-

S OF TUESDAY evening, the question was
whether Gov. Faubus had played a trick.
the Committee of Southern Governors, who
come to the White House to negotiate for
withdrawal of the Federal power. The crux
t all lay in the phrase "law and order," and
ther the phrase meant the same thing to
:bus, to the four Governors, and to the
sident.
; is clear that when the Committee of Gov-
>rs informed the President that they were
thorized" by Faubps to say that he as-
ed full responsibility for "law and order,"
r thought in all good faith that his author-
ion was meant in good faith and that the
ds mean what in fact they mean.
'CAUSE OF his record, no assurances from
Fubus could be accepted by the President
rhich every syllable and every comma had
been thoroughly scrutinized. The President
well avised toinsist on aca r ua nee.

The principle is that the National Guard
may not obstruct the carrying out of the laws
of the United States, and that it must be avail-
able, if needed, to enforce the laws. The Faubus
affair arose out of the problem of integration.
But its crucial importance -has lain in the ques-
tion of what are the rights and the duties of
the armed forces of the several states. No mat-
ter how long it takes, the President cannot
make a settlement in Arkansas which sets up
as a precedent the action of Faubus. There
must be no doubt left that the troops ofzevery
state are dedicated to the support of the law.'
'The President, we were 'told, would have
liked to.discuss with the Governors not merely
the specific question of the withdrawal, of the
Federal power but also the general problem of
integration.
LIE OUGHT, it seems to me, to treat integra-
tion as primarily a problem, not in law en-
forcement, but in education. It is a problem

QTOUGH United States policy
in the Middle East had

But could it hold the line against

Doubts were raised recently by
Saudi Arabia's anti-Communist

Aug. 25 letter to President Eisen-

Now, through diplomatic chan-

To The Editor:
AN INTERESTING news item
appeared in The Daily, of Oct.
3, wherein it was reported that the
Student Government Council de-
cided newspaper treatment of its
election candidates was "unfair."
Thereupon, a Scott Chrysler,
suggested that the student news-
paper should only be permitted to
print what each .candidate desired
said about himself.
"After all, we pay for the issue,
we should have the right not to be
uncomfortable, through inquiries,"
appears to have been the reaction
of the duly elected representatives
