PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1953 By HARLAND BRITZ Daily Managing Editor HE OUTSPOKEN voice of the Harvard Crimson has been stilled. The summer school administration has stripped the sum- mer edition of its right to editorialize. Whatever reasons the higher ups have given, their action remains a downright in- vasion of the Crimson's cherished freedom of the press. The Crimson has long been a stalwart among independent college newspapers. Just before the prohibition was issued, they were preparing to chastise the Har- vard Corporation for firing an anatomy professor for refusing to testify before a congressional committee. In their last issue they blasted the Eisenhower Admin- istration for "apathy" in dealing with the Iron Curtain riots. The authorities may maintain that these editorials had nothing to do with the sus- pension, but they will have considerable dif- ficulty in convincing anyone of this. The reason given for the prohibition is that since the Summer Crimson is partially subsidized by the University it should not, publish any political opinions because the summer school itself has no opinions. Upon closer examination this appears to be nothing but a fiction. The summer Crimson is a newspaper, whether the Uni- versity, the students themselves, or some wealthy benefactor supports it. As a news- paper the staff or at least individual staff members are entitled to express views. The University is giving them aid because as a newspaper, the Crimson also reports news of the campus. This it does well. But no one considers the paper an organ of the University. Our news source at Cambridge believes that the order is a clear case of adm'inistra- tion higherups not liking the particular views of the paper and using their briefly assumed power to silence the deviationists. There appears to be little other logical ex- planation, especially in view of the fact that the paper has for years editorialized during the summers without interference. When the fall term begins and the regu- lar editors return, the Crimson will resume its autonomy. Once again its editorial page will resume action. It might do wise to re- frain from passing such key control in the future to. the summer school. Indeed, with- out the right to speak out, the newspaper becomes little more than an official bulletin. All of the student enthusiasm is nipped in the bud. If Crimson editors face publication another summer with its most important function inoperative, it would do better to close up shop until fall. Meanwhile, Harvard University, long con- sidered a leader among liberal, independent, institutions, is giving itself a black eye by putting itself along side so many other schools that were too small to either accept criticism or tolerate some unconventional thinking among their students. HE CHIEF foundation of all states, new as well as old or composite, are good laws and good arms, and as there cannot be good laws where the state is not well armed, it follows that where they are well armed they have good laws. -Machiavelli Musical Current A HISTORICALLY significant event in art is pretty easy to see when viewed from the safe distance of a few hundred years. But when the time element is diminished, and perspective is clouded by our subject- ive involvement in the heavy stream of cur- rent happenings, significance is most diffi- cult to point out, and any statements con- cerning it are usually controversial. Today in music a significant event is tak- ing place. It is safe to say this, since history has shown a pattern, which when put into perspective, seems inevitable. But of course, as in all artistically significant events, whether it be Stravinsky's Rite of Spring or Giotto's Frescoes in the Arena Chapel, to those of us living when it is happening, it is unexpected. To understand what this event is, it is best to show how it was arrived at. This can be done by a brief, cursory glimpse at music since Wagner and Brahms. At the end of the nineteenth century two general currents, contradictory in nature, were evolving as guideposts for creation in music. Both currents had manifestos. The first of these currents was headed by Arnold Schoenberg. His views were sum- marized in his book, "Style and Idea." The musical word pertinent here is chromati- cism, as Schoenberg was the chief propo- nent and philosopher of twelve-tone music or "atonality." Chromaticism is a word which has to be understood by the ear before the mind, but it involves all the twelve notes of the scale rather than the eight diatonic ones, and is opposed to a system of scales where cer- tain notes are foreign. The chief proponent of chromaticism before Schoenberg was Wagner, who to the twelve-tone composer was the main influence. The Prelude to Tristran and Isolde can be understood by the twelve- tone analysis Schoenberg advocated. Igor Stravinsky in his book "Poetics of Music" presented what can be caled the manifesto of the second current, which has been dubbed by critics "Neoclassicism" While Schoenberg represented a continu- ation of Wagner, and Romanticism, Stra- vinsky represented a reaction against this. The musical word here is tonality. Here again is a word needing the ear for explana- tion. But in the main, tonality at the be- ginning of this century meant a return to a solid superstructure for music, a superstruc- ture provided for by different key levels in relation to one another. Stravinsky and such composers as Hindemith, Bartok, and Milhaud, looked back to Mozart, Bach, and earlier renais- sance composers for inspiration. Schoen- berg, and his followers, Berg and Webern, denied there was any value in looking back, and adamantly insisted on constant- ly looking forward with only occasional glimpses at previous composers for indi- cations of future progress. Schoenberg didn't care one bit about what key a work was to be in, and his music was supposed to be keyless. Stravinsky thought key level, or tonality, to be the most im- portant part of music, and any belief other- wise tended to destroy music, as he thought Wagner had done. The result in both cases was extreme viewpoints. Schoenberg thought the old con- cepts useless for present day needs. Stra- vinsky felt that chromaticism tended to be unworkable if not used very sparingly. Today composers are writing music ad- hering to all the strict twelve-tone rules set down by Schoenberg, and at the same time their music is tonal. Schoenberg was wrong. Music has to have key, tonality; the ear de- mands it as a guide. It is the basic formal architecture for music. Stravinsky, as a writer, was mistaken in believing that Wagner's excursions in- to chromaticism could not be co-ordinated with tonality's auditory architecture. Today, Roger Sessions, Luigi Dallipicolla, Frank Martin, Aaron Copland, to name a few, are writing music which is tonal, and yet, if not strictly adhering to the twelve- tone row, at least greatly influenced by it. The Quintet with Piano by Ross Lee Finney, which was premiered here last Tuesday by the Stanley Quartet and Marian Owen, is also twelve-tone and tonal. That this musical problem is no mere fad is testified by the fact that it has been a problem preoccupying composers for cen- turies now. Attempts were being made to combine chromaticism and tonality by Ge- sualdo, Bach, and other composers who lived long before Wagner. But today's solution is the most complete yet. As stylistic evolution, it has opened a large untapped vista for which the com- poser can cast his musical thought. This of course does not mean that old compositional procedures are outworn, for composers will write in whatever style suits them. But the musical scene has been vastly broadened by the resolution of these two conflicting cur- rents. -Donald Harris "Sorry, TOmr - IHmncymoon, You Know" PRs r~ _ CO , 7T7 DALY OFFICIAL BULLETIN i { t { ON THE, WASHINGTON MEH RY-GO-ROUND WITH DREW PEARSON ,: { =1 The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of the University of Michigan for which the Michigan Daily assumes no editorial responsi- bility.

Taft, will be forced to retire within six months. This has touched off a backstage battle over control of the Senate, which the Republicans now run by a slim majority of one. Taft's successor would be appointed by a Democrat, Ohio's Gov. Frank Lausche. However, Democratic leaders have already consulted Lausche privately, and urged him to appoint a Republican. They ex- plained that the Democrats don't want responsibility for the legisla- tive logjam that is building up in the Senate. In the end, they figure they will- gain more votes by leaving the senate in GOP hands. As a result, Lausche is considering Bob Taft's younger brother, Charlie, for the expected vacancy. UC3CARTHY-GO-ROUND Senator McCarthy is trying to cover up his association with Ralph Moore, a shady commodity speculator, who was kicked off the com- modity exchange. Inside fact, however, is that Moore has been acting as a front for McCarthy on the commodity market. When the Sena- tor collected $10,000 to fight Communists and diverted it instead to buying soybeans in his brother's name, the applications were made out in Moore's handwriting , . . McCarthy has hinted darkly that Father Leon Sullivan. a Catholic missionary, received an overdose of Communist propaganda while he languished in a Chinese prison cell. What upset the Senator was Father Sullivan's comment that he would rather return to his Red prison than see "McCarthyism" rise in America. The courageous Catholic declared: "My missionary career in China ended in a Communist court in which accusations were taken as facts, charges as proofs, and in which the police announced that 'defense is not necessary; we never make a mistake; when we arrest you, you're guilty.' As a result of that experience, I cling desperately to a principle that is one of the foundation stones of our democratic way of life, the principle that a man is innocent until proved guilty . . . If you must betray Democracy in order to save it. why bother?" n1 --, i CAu ik ESN 7 mOv IE s 1 Y At the Michigan... THE JUGGLER, with Kirk Douglas THIS IS THE best new picture to be shown in Ann Arbor this summer. It is not a.. great film, but it tells a straightforward story in an unpretentious and appealing way. Its Israel location shots are used to advantage as background and not, as travelogue. Most of all, it is blessed with a surprisingly strong performance by Kirk Douglas, as Wonder- ful Hans, the refugee juggler, who believes that "a home is what you lose." The story in many ways was a danger- ous one, vulnerable to easy sentimentality. - But Director Edward Dmytryk, working again after his political layoff, skillfully skirts the pitfalls. In rehabilitating his paranoiac hero, he manages to incorporate DRAMA with AT SALINE . . . Arms and the Man, with the Saline Mill Theater Company. V"TH TONGUE-IN-CHEEK, Shaw sets out to strip society of its superficialities. In conducting his campaign of attrition, he reduces such items as the "higher love" to the plane of ridiculousness, while war is revealed as the sport of nations. This is a comedy but a wry one whose basic reality is all too close. The story centers around the love affair of two Bulgarian "aristocrats" whose mu- tuality of interest thrives only in the aura of 19th century romanticism. Underneath this facade of the "higher love" there lurks oler interests-for our heroine, for an in- tensely practical Swiss soldier whom she has saved from tjhe vagaries of war; and for the hero, his fiance's servant-girl. Mixed in with this complex love plot' there is much talk from the family about tradition and the delights of war. After a series of discussions, however, each of the lovers finds their true mate, but Shaw leaves us with disturbing questions about the problems he raises. Despite the wordiness of this play and some rather obscure innuendos in the Sha- vian manner, the production is well paced and thoughtfully directed. Bette Ellis as Raina Petkoff manages to achieve the rather childish sophistication required of her part. It might have been clone with a gentler touch, but Miss Ellis makes it clear that Raina is in love love. As Raina's formal lover, Earl Matthews tends to overplay the "playboy" soldier. This exhuberance, however, wears off as the play progresses and Matthews finally manages to convey his impressions with a little more tact. Perhaps the best played role was that of Captain Bluntschli as done by Ed Bordo. As the practical suitor of Raina, he mouths some of Shaw's most telling blows against the folly of war and the sophistry of ro- manticism. Major Petkoff, the father of Raina, is played by Warren Pickett, who does a ma- ture, confident job, but tends at times to become Col. Blimp rather than Major Pet- koff. The rest of the cast is adequate. But the most disappointing feature of the whole production was the acting of Con- nie Parker. In a role that required com- posure, sureness, and a supercilious. air without frills Miss Parker was completely ill at ease. Some of her, shortcomings might be ameliorated if she would learn her lines. The costuming appeared authentic, but Captain Bluntschli could hardly have ap- peared straight from battle in a freshly starched shirt. Lighting was good, but light- ing cues were missed several times during the first act. With a few of the rough edges taken off, this could be a very good production. As it is Shaw msonsze torarv mont of the nload I not only a fresh redeeming-child and a very natural redeeming-blonde, but also a fresh set of plot situations to resolve the hero's dilemma. Most of them transcend the simple chase motif. The unifying theme is the hero's growing capacity for human involvement. You not only see this growth occur; you also feel it. Such grace was not often evident, for in- stance, in "Man on a Tightrope," another recent film with a Pagliacci hero. There the direction and the acting were performed with talent as great, but the script repeatedly strayed into too many well-made, palpably symbolic situations. These "The Juggler" avoids. Douglas's contribution is to convince, al- most at once, that he really is a profoundly disturbed veteran of German concentra- tion camps and not just a stock version of this role. More, however, he develops in the character a fine ironic intelligence that makes his mental redemption more than a gimmick emotion at the end, The sophisticated attitude-that Douglas is an inveterate ham-I do not share. He has contributed to too many good pictures ("Detective Story," "Champion," "The Big Sky," "Ace in the Hole," "Letter to Three Wives") to regard his talent as mere stage energy. He does particularly well by "The Juggler," a film that deserved him. -Bill Wiegand MUSIC] Summer Session Band and Summer Ses- sion Chorus LAST NIGHT'S program included varied works for chorus, band, and the two combined. The Band, under William D. Re- velli, played with a great deal of precision and spirit in works ranging from a Mozart overture (in a surprisingly successful ttans- cription) to W. C. Handy's St. Louis Blues March with the composer, a truly great man, present in the audience. The most interesting of the band selections was Gustave Holst's Second Suite. It is based on English folk tunes, which are surely the loveliest in the world, and the composer's presentation of them is most effective. Byron Autrey, cornet, and Al Townsend, trombone, played very well in solo numbers. The Chorus was under the direction of Alex Zimmerman, visiting fireman for the summer. The rhythmic precision and clar- ity of diction of the Chorus were impres- sive, but the group needs some more work { a 1 a a Jewish leaders were outraged over McCarthy's charge that British in open to the general public without Senator Mike Monroney, Oklahoma Democrat, is anti-Semitic.
