To The Editor Financing Education . . To the Editor: THE POLEMICS- of Mr. Elsman's column recently gives a simple- minded response to a very complex problem. The Josephs Report urged that college tuition be raised to perhaps twice its present level. Why? For the simple reason that the faculty is currently underpaid. As the plan stated, it is the faculty which subsidizes the educa- tion of all students today, whether they need help financially or, not. Is it fair that the faculty, by taking less pay than they deserve or less than they could get in in -______________ dustry, should subsidize the edu- cation of all students? DAILY Given a doubling of qualified applicants for higher education in OFFICIAL 1970, will there be enough faculty to teach them? Certainly not if BULLETIN salaries are so unattractive. The result is likely to be inferior teaching or classes via TV.

Certainly, one could invent reasons for the k of success of the drive. "Student apathy" ild be made the whipping boy. Or the Chest's blicity, or even the number of buckets out ght be open to criticism. It's even possible at these criticisms could be justified. But this aIly is not the answer. Campus Chest was created to spare students e "agony," or even inconvenience, of having give money to three or four bucket drives ich were spaced throughout the year. But this is little more than a joke. We suspect at if student had been polled on this issue, w would have been aware they were contrib- ing to four drives a year, and even less would ye found such contributions any more irk- me than the one campus drive. In other words, ident solicitations for charity by student nips was not and is not a problem on this rnpus. ITY UNIFIED DRIVES have a definite value. Many residents complain of being pestered year long for money for this cause or that use, and a unified drive becomes almost a cessity if the local property holder is to keep ; sanity. The Ann Arbor United Fund dis- butes its collections to 44 different agencies. Contrast this to the Campus Chest Board which distributes its funds to only four different agencies (one being the United Fund). In fact Campus Chest not only tried to fulfill a need that did not really exist, but it was actu- ally detrimental. Some of the individual charities in their own drives have made more money in the past than they will get from Campus Chest. (This does not include the use of Michigras funds, which, if they are used at all, will have to be diverted from something else.) When a group solicits funds for a specific charity in which it is interested, it naturally works harder. It seems to be difficult 'to find people to collect money for charity "for.charity's sake" without having some extra-special inter- est in the charity. THERE WAS ONE VALUE in the Campus- Chest. It provided administrative training for some of its leaders. But it seems that these are too few people for all the time and efforts of so many. Thus, Campus Chest was set up to alleviate a "straw-man" problem. It managed to consume a great many people's time and antagonized several student organizations. If there was a real need, we suspect the drive would have been successful. The buckets were there. We hope Student Government Council will consider this the next time Campus Chest comes up for evaluation. -RICHARD TAUB It WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND: Nixon Scores Coup By DREW PEARSON 'Limited War' Policy Requires Unlimited Vision THE PAIR OF Sputnik satellites has bred a great-deal of discussion about future meth- ods of warfare. Reporters and news analysts have told the public that present means are obsolete, and that the next war will be fought by dropping bombs from whirring satellites, and much other such nonsense to the detriment of sound thinking on the question. The fact that the Russians have satellites capable of revolving around the earth does not change their warfare techniques any more than their previous construction of atomic and hydrogen bombs did. Since 1945, in the twelve years of the "atomic era," the Soviet Union has acquired nine or ten satellite nations, all of them through "limited wars"-either of the guerilla nature or through national revolution by careful trained natives, as in China. In .none of these conquests have any .nuclear weapons been used. Even in the present Syrian affair, the Krem- lin's aims are being realized by citizens of that country, with no more than a "helping hand" from the Soviet Union. This is the easiest way of operating in a world which is able to ann.ihilate itself-a limited war for a specific end as part of an overall strategy. Two generations of Russian rulers have realized this, and their successes speak well for 'them. Only once have they pro- yoked the United States into defending itself, and in that case (Korea), only to a point. By contrast, the United States has limited its own thinking to the "massive retaliation" con- cept-all out war, or nothing. This is unrealistic. The Kremlin is far too clever to provoke all-out war, the United States far too afraid of such a war to defend itself in "little" actions. As a result, United States policy-makers remain timid and afraid to act, with the exception of Secretary of State Dulles, who has advocated preparation for limited wars. THE FUTURE POSITION of nuclear and mis- sile weapons seems to be that of a restraining threat-that if one side starts something, the other can, if not finish it, at least wreak havoc on the offenders. In this kind of situation any war which may overstep the thin line between limited and all-out is sure to be avoided if at all possible. This gives the Russians the advan- tage. They know how far to go; the United States does not. A complete revision of American strategy is imperative if the United States is to retain a chance of survival in the world. It is impossible to concede the advantage in both massive weap- ons and short-run tactics to the other side, and still come out on top. In this light, Secre- tary Dulles should take the lead in developing "limited war" policies, and do so quickly. Otherwise, the United States will be completely on the short end of any future war-whether limited or all-out. -JOHN WEICHER HONEST BUT PACHYDERMIC Senator Bill Knowland may not realize it, but his fellow Californ- ian,, Dick Nixon, has executed the most brilliant political coup d'etat of this generation The final touch- es of that coup are being signed and sealed at the White House this week. Even the politicoes who don't like Nixon are nodding their heads in admiration. With one stroke, he has won the preliminary support of the leader of the Taft forces, Knowland, for his (Nixon's) nomination for Presi- dent. With the same stroke, he has probably eliminated Knowland as a candidate altogether, For if Knowland doesn't win over pop'ular Democrat Pat Brown in the race for governor of California -and he probably won't-he has eliminated himself as a competent vote-getter and a serious contender for the presidency. * * * WHEN YOU realize that Know- land is resigning from the Senate and from the Republican Senate leadership, one of the most coveted posts in Washington, for the ex- press purpose of boosting his am- bition to be President, you can 'understand the brilliance of Nix- on's strategy. When you also recall that the old Taft conservative wing of the GOP was getting more and more fed up with Nixon's stand for foreign aid, for the use of troops at Little Rock, and his difference with the White House over Sput- nik, you get a double realization of Nixon's political brilliance. Nixon scored this double victory by euchering Gov. Goodwin Knight into running for the Senate instead of opposing Knowland for governor of California and getting a com- mittment from Knowland in re- turn that he wouldn't campaign for President in the Republican primaries. This may sound like a minor concession. Actually, it's a majQr one. Last year, before Eisenhower announced as a candidate, Know- 'land had already entered several primaries, for his strength was and still is with grass roots leaders. The Taft forces are potent in the grass roots. They dominate the primaries and, the party conven- tions. In 1960, Knowland would have had their 100 per cent support had he put his name in the primaries. Now he won't. With no name but Nixon's entered, he goes to the 1960 convention with practically all of the delegates, the sure win- ner of the GOP nomination. ,, * * GOODY KNIGHT was not an easy man to push out of running for governor again. He had his heart set on it, had said over and over again that he would run. He had been a good governor and a popular governor. California pre- cedent said that he should run for re-election. However,, he had come out against any "right to work" law and had been a strong friend of labor. Several top California busi- nessment were unhappy. Others, however, were still strong for Goody. At this point, Nixon and friends began putting on the squeeze. They applied it in three ways: 1) Governor Knight was brain- washed. Political polls were taken, showing that he would lose. In some of the polls, Knight trailed Knowland by two to one. He was told that he should not spoil his political career by a crushing, in- gnominious defeat. 2) Financial support was with- drawn. In California politics, big money talks. It talks loud and it talks long. Governor Knight, an experienced politician, knew he was out of luck without campaign funds. He knew also that his labor backers could never raise enough to counter-balance that from big business. * * * 3. KNIGHT lost newspaper sup- port. Almost overnight, Knight found that some of the biggest moulders of California opinion wanted him to run for the Senate, not for governor. Even so, Knight wavered. Dis- appointed, embittered, and so sick at heart that he hid out in a friend's home in Phoenix, Ariz., he demanded concessions in return for his retreat. He waited until the last niunute, and then handed Dick Nixon, the man he hated and whom he had denounced at the San Francisco Convention in 1956, a political coup d'etat which practically as- sures Nixon the Presidential nomi- nation in 1960. (Copyright 1957 by Bell Syndicate Inc.) debt incurred on each student will double in the aggregate for the college. WHERE will the money come from? In the ease of private col- leges which depend on interest from trust funds and donations from alumni, expansion of in- come seems dubious. Regarding public colleges, we note an unwillingness of state legislatures, in the light of other financial needs, to increase the funds supplied to colleges. Therefore, except for higher tuition, we have exhausted the possibility of additional funds. It is important, perhaps crucial to the whole report to realize that a necessary condition of higher tuition would be an expansion and liberalization of long term loan funds. Banks agreeing even to this would be philanthropists of sorts, since they would be investing in students and earning a lower rate of interest than they could get in other segments of our economy. The report specifically recom- mends loans above scholarships, since a dollar expended in a schol- arship can help only one student, while a dollar in a loan fund. can can help 10, 20; an indefinite number of students. --Gerald Blackstone, '60 A ' Favor . . To the Editor: It's 7:20 p.m., November 4, and I am sitting on the second floor of the general library trying to learn an easy way to grasp physics. Jim Pace and Willie Smith just walked in pushing a crippled lad in a wheel chair. Jim excused himself to a studying student and asked him if the adjacent place was taken. "No," replied Joe Student, so Jim pulled out the neighboring chair and Willie fixed the young man in the wheel chair at the desk. Call it a favor, call it another job complete; few would have un- dertaken this feat. On the field, I consider Jim and Willie the colos- sal and the dynamic; in this at- mosphere, the humble and the elite. --Bob Steller ,'59 College of Architecture and Design, Main Floor Corridor: "Contemporary Color Lithography," exhibition circu- lated by The American Federation of Arts, shown under the auspices of the Museum of Art; Nov. 5 through 20.

It was enjoyable to hear of the increased support being given to the various aspects of the fund raising program. The intense interest and enthusiasm shown by the people attending the conference indeed does credit to the Coun- - cil. It was also obvious these people enjoyed working for the University and enjoyed attend- ing this conference. Though the Council is trying to aid the student financially with all of the means at its disposal, it has neglected to determine student opinion and thoughts on problems germane to both groups. "One mitht say that the Student Relations Committee of the Council satisfies this need but, in reality, the Committee is nothing more than a publicity organ carrying out the wishes of the Council with very little opportunity to express or sample student opinion.

Associate Editorial Director chairmen of the Student Relations Committee, however it is too much to expect of any student to ask him to represent the entire student body on all of the various activities of the Develop- ment Council. Since the Council is very concerned with alumni giving, and since the present students on campus are tomorrow's alumni, does it not seem reasonable that the best way to stimulate these prospective alumni is to allow them to work with the Council on other committees that concern both students and the council, thereby increasing the understanding, appreciation and support each can give to the other? -RICHARD SALO Dog Lovers That Cried 'Woof-Woof' NOW THAT RUSSIA has replaced the "Beep- Beep" with "Woof-Woof" most of the world is wondering how long it will be before the Russians will have men in their space machines, building bases on the moon and taking over as undisputed favorites for world domination. Fortunately, a few of the panicked world pop- ulation can keep cool heads and be concerned with first things first. They don't worry about the newest threat to all freedom loving peoples. They worry about cruelty to dogs in satellites. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is going to send a protest to the Soviet Union, claiming the doggie is faced with "unnecessary sacrifice" or with "great pain and suffering should it survive." The National Canine Defense League in London is asking dog lovers everywhere to "observe a POINT OF CONFLICT: Indian Student Discusses Kashmir Problem By VIRENDRA PATHIK Daily Staff Writer (EDITOR'S NOTE: Virendra Paihik is an Indian student, at the Univer- sity under the Foreign Student Lead- ershrip Exchange program. This is the first installment of a close examina- tion of the Kashmirproblem from the Indian point of view.) NOBODY can say what frantic efforts are resorted to when a person feels a direct danger to his existence. During my three m9nths stay in this country, I have come to realize that the Kashmir problem has been so much misrepresented and mispropagited that now it positively involves the question of good relations - not only between India and Pakistan, but more im- portant, between India and the United States as the chief demo- cratic countries in the East and the West. It may be suicidal, as much for the free world as for India, to un- derestimate the importance of good relations between India and the free Western countries. FOR THE survival of human freedom over Communism, a good understanding of the problems in- volving free nations is indispen- sablehand hence my attempt to put this case of Kashmir before the independent-thinking citizens ing hatred against capitalistic countries) has always been an Iron Curain for Pakistanis, separ- ating them completely from un- derstanding of how deep-rooted is the fate of 400 million people of India involved in the Kashmir problem. For them, even an -attempt to understand may find it inconceiv- able that the Kashmir problem involves the question of life and death of the Indians. Hence the significance of my opening sen- tence. It is impossible to understand the complete Kashmir problem withouthreviewing the history of 1947, when Pakistan made its first blood-smeared appearance in the pages of the history of mankind. In order to understand Kashmir, we must understand Pakistan and India. For centuries before 1947, Hin- dus, Moslems, Christians and Buddhists had been living togeth- er trying to evolve a. new mixed culture and even new languages, the two important ones being the present official national languages of India and Pakistan. * * * WE FOUGHT together for three centuries against British domina- tion. We have common martyrs who died for the independence of our subcontinent. We still adore mental slavery of religious fanati- cism. Some selfish individuals who wanted leadership in the name of such slogans as "religion is in danger" started arousing fanati- cism and religious hatred between Hindus and Moslems. The ignor- ant masses could not stand the test and gave way. Some Moslems, thinking that it may be easier to attain leader- ship in a smaller country like Pakistan, rather than in a vast nation like India, began crying for a pure Moslem nation. The Brit- ish policy of "divide and rule" proved a- divine support for these leaders, and they started a bloody campaign of massacring innocent men, women and children who happened to believe in Hinduism, They wanted to have a pure re- ligious nation so they proceeded to get rid of Hindus either by cold-blooded murder, or by forc- ing them to leave the heavily Moslem-populated areas and run away, homeless and penniless, if they were lucky enough to escape death. , * * * CONSEQUENTLY, thousands of Hindus were killed and many thousands who succeeded in sav- ing themselves grouped in big caravans a flood of homeless efforts of Ghandi and Nehru, the government succeeded very soon in establishing order, In spite of so mich provocation, reactionary fanaticism and de- mands from the Indian masses for transfer of all Muslims within the Indian borders to Pakistani ter- ritory, Nehru stood fast on his human principles and declared the Indian nation a secular state, giving full protection and freedom of religion to all. The Indian government believed' that the great moral cause of the national government is above pet- ty differences of religion. Unlike Pakistan, it outrightly rejected re- ligious interference in the cause of national welfare. The government's adherence to these principles is demonstrated by the simple fact that in spite of the existence of Muslim Pakis- tan, here is a huge population of 50 million Muslims in India. x * * HAD THEY thought, as some Muslims who created the two na- tions did, that the Pakistan na- tion was 'created to ensure better economic, cultural and religious rights for Muslims, why should they have chosen to remain in India? . This simple fact that apart from various religious groups, I I
