Surprisingly enough, the most contemporary work of the evening was also the highlight. The Quartet in C Major, K. 465, easily one of Mozart's most ma- ture and beautiful works, was the opening selection for the evening. The restrainedly lush and limpid Andante second movement was particularly well played, while the following Menuetto could have been a bit more sharp and biting in contrast. RODOLFO HALFFTER'S Quartet (1958) received it's second per- formance here last night, and suffered very much in comparison with the Bassett which followed. HIalffter is fond of the Stravinsky technique of using two perfectly respectable keys in combination at one time. The effect is an interest- ing dissonance, especially when used as Halffter does, one half tone !. JULY 30. 1958 NIGHT EDITOR: LANE VANDERSLICE Branch College Criticism Needs Close Exammation CRITICISM aimed at branch colleges in ie latest Russell report on higher educa- n Michigan probably comes as somewhat shock to supporters of the onolithic tional unit. And it may wel be quite ralizing to university officials and old who visualize "their school" extending all the state with its name a symbol of nce and pride in every town large enough )port a college. according to the survey the Russell study has conducted there is some skepticism g Michigan's educators about the value inch colleges. Many are strongly opposed rther development of four-year branches, Lve only mild support to two-year branches as the University has at Flint and Dear- importance of this report, which sur- university and college officials on many tional problems, cannot be minimized. pinions of these men, who will shape the Ls and colleges of the immediate future, be carefully weighed. It is only hoped each educator will now read the report d out what the others are thinking, since actions sometimes make one wonder if mow. ONE also wonders what thoughts are ehind the responses the educators gave e questions asked by the Russell com- e. As broad-minded and objective we hope university administrators to be, it te possible that, when the chips are down, iven administrator will act to benefit his ition even though it may not be in the nterests of all state-wide education. his is true, then it must be asked if the tors in the survey frowned on branch es because they, in fact, may not be the economical and practical method of ex- ng facilities to meet the increasing de- on education in this state or rather se branches might cut into their area ofd nce and provide unwanted competition. And the same question must be asked about all the observations and conclusions in the report. HOWVER, given this reservation, college administrators should take a close look at the report, and particularly the area on branches since this may be an integral part of educational facility expansion in'the near fu- ture, For if educators plan on handling the expanded enrollments about to reach college by building away from the central campuses they must act with a popular and well-agreed upon plan. Indeed, any plan of action that would cause further and more bitter competi- tion among the schools willonly retard educa- tion in this state. A section from the report is most particularly enlightening. While noting that efforts to draw branches into communities is often motivated by sincere, well studied considerations, the re- port also says that some schools have, been under pressure from local promotional groups interested mainly in increasing the payroll in the community. It also notes that in some cases these local efforts to get a branch college established have been embarrassing to the state institutions that were approached, particularly when the com- munity has tried to develop a spirit of competi- tive bidding between two or more schools. Uni- versity and Michigan State officials should take note of these remarks when they think of the Grand Rapids area. TWO-YEAR branch colleges working in co- operation with community colleges have much to offer in meeting Michigan's educational needs. But if there is a more adequate solution it will have to be found in the near future. And it will certainly not be found now or at any time unless all state educators search together rather than in their own private little worlds. --DAVID TARR Co-Editor . . - l 1 #1 60 1r l t 'r. ,r~ .? q';lot {romises of blue skies, expansion-pushed cement and high salaries ($12,900 top)." ,IUSS EXPLAINED that the University's culty members are "prime targets for 5" and termed the magazine's observa- 'all too true."

It has appeared at budget hat while the University was concerned faculty pay, they may have stressed ex- n too much. The Legislature has not taken steps to insure that the present "high calibre" faculty of the University will remain here. FACULTY SALARIES are much more im- portant now that competition for teachers has become keener because of the national increase in higher education. A faculty built up by the University over a number of years can quickly be crippled or ruined with a "blue- skies" policy such as that at California. Many teachers, particularly young men in University departments who have not risen into the top salary bracket, can be more easily attracted by other schools than men who have served long tenures and have built their repu- tations and income here. These young men, many of whom have already made a name in the academic world, will be needed by the University as the nucleus of a "high caliber" faculty in the coming decade. If the University cannot hold its present faculty, its chances for gaining neW faculty members of distinction is weakened. LOW SALARIES do not attract outstanding intellectuals who would be wanted many places, some of which would offer high mone- tary rewards. If the present distinguished fac- ulty is dispersed, the quality of a less distin- guished faculty will not be an incentive to attract outstanding young men to Ann Arbor. Thus holding the faculty members now at the University by salary raises may make the difference between an outstanding university and just another state university. -ROBERT JUNKER WASHINGTON -- The cigarette lobby recently bootlegged an advance proof of a Harper's mag- Iazine article on cigarettes and tried to bamboozle the congress- man-author into changing it. The article was written by Min- nesota's kindly congressman John Blatnik, who has been investigat- ing misleading cigarette ads and means of protecting the public from cigarettes. His words had scarcely been set in print when Philip Morris's pub- lic relations director, John C. Bowling, turned up with a proof of his article. He announced to Blatnik's office that the magazine had asked the cigarette company's public relations firm to proofread the article for accuracy and that they had found some factual mis- .takes. Bowling then flew to Washing- ton to discuss the alleged errors, and showed up in Blatnik's office with a Philip Morris Expert, Dr. Lee S. Harrow. THEY TRIED to persuade Blat- nik's assistant to have the con- gressman strike out passages in the article that reflected on Philip: Morris products, particularly his description of Parliament cigar- ette's "recessed filter" as a "gim- mick" and the charge that the "white ash" in Marlboro cigarettes is achieved by a special bleach. While Bowling was pulling his bluff, however, Blatnik's office checked with John Fischer, editor. of Harper's. Fischer is a man who withstood pressure from the pub- lic utilities regarding an article on Hells Canyon - and lost power- company advertising thereby. He is not easily pressured. Angrily he denied that he had asked the tobacco industry to, check the article' for accuracy, and he suggested that Philip Mor- ris must have smuggled an ad- vance proof out of the magazine's Albany, N.Y., print shop. In the end, Bowling's bosses apologized to Harper's, and Blat- nik's article went to press uncen- sored. * * * AMINTORE Fanfani, the five- foot, two-inch new premier of Italy, now visiting Dulles and Eisenhower, is a man who believes in applying Christianity to poli- tics without any affiliation with the church. It's understandable that a coun- try which has suffered under both: a monarchy and Mussolini should now have one of the biggest Com- munist parties outside Russia.. Fanfani is trying both to head off Communism and to keep the country on an even' keel by cru- sading for compulsory education, through the age of 18 for boys. At present there's free educa- tion for boys up to 14 only. Rus- sia has 10-year compulsory edu- cation in many parts of the coun- try, and Fanfani believes that in order to lick communism Italy must expand its public school sys- tem. He has also campaigned for more public housing, equal wages for women and men, more electric power, and plans a huge Tennes- see Valley Authority-Type power system for southern Italy. Even Fanfani's foes grudgingly admit that he's a breath of fresh air in Italian politics. (Copyright 1958 by Bell Syndicate, Inc.) apart. The Cavatina was the most nello the theme of which per- meated the movement. The first performance of Leslie Bassett's Five Pieces for String Quartet (1957) following on the heels of the Halffter opus which was especially commissioned for the Stanley group, leads one to question the wisdom of constantly straying afield when commissions are handed out. All five movements of the Bas- sett work are short, compact and marked by an urgent drive. The Fast first movement is driven by a rapid trilled figure in perpetual motion. The Slow second move- ment features the same trill in a slowed down and shorter varia- tion while the middle movement deviates from the trill pattern with catchy rhythmic figurations. IN A COMPLETELY different mood, the Slow fourth movement features a dark viola opening and close, and the fifth Very Fast movement returns to the rapid flow and turn of the trill. It is gratifying to know that a com- poser in such control of his ma- terial Is in existence. Mr. Bassett states his idea, does what he wants with It, and gath- ers it together in a concise 'sum- mation. It is a rare composer who knows how and when to end a piece. The program concluded with a polished performance of the easily listened to Ravel Quartet in F Major. -Allegra, Branson FROM FARMS: Shortages Possible By OVID A. MARTIN Associated Press Farm Reporter WASAINGTON (A) - The na- tion's farm surpluses would melt away quickly should the country become involved in a big new war. Without doubt, shortages would develop quickly for some items and rationing would be needed to assure equitable distribution and to prevent skyrocketing prices. There are some surpluses, but they are limited almost wholly to food raw materials, such as wheat for flour, corn and other grains for livestock and poultry feed. TRUE, the government does own stocks of such items as but- ter, dried milk, cheese, rice and dry beans. But measured against year long needs, they are Insig- nificant. The government holds no stocks of meats. The only surplus avail- able are those held in processing and distribution channels and those represented by livestock still on farms. It would be possible to step up meat production somewhat, but not for long unless grain produc- tion were increased. Present sur- plus stocks of corn and other feed grains -, while at record high lev- els - represent only about six months' requirements. * * 'S ONLY in the case of wheat are the stocks sufficient to maintain a high consumption rate for an indefinite period. Of course, there is a possibility the United States would be called upon to share these supplies with allies. Now plentiful, sugar would be- come hard to get in the event of a conflict. That's because this coun- try depends on offshore producing areas such as Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippine Islands for nearly two-thirds of its needs. * S* . MUCH HAS been said about the milk surplus. About five per cent of the production has been mov- ing into government surplus stocks - in the form of manufac- tured, products-under price sup- ports. But this five per cent would be a b s o r b e d quickly through in- creased civilian and military de- mands. In wartime, civilians tend to buy more heavily of food. That's because supplies of other consumer goods usually are simqll- er than in peacetime. EGG PRODUCTION is below a year ago and considerably below levels of World War II.

The story of a Philadelphia socialite who doesn't get an invita- tion to the Grace Kelly wedding, this obviouslyrdated show is fdo beginning to end a poor excuse of a skeleton on which to hang music and lyrics. And the music and lyrics are equally good, culminating in a short patter of nonsense called tEveryone Who's Who's Who'", tesong that easily wins the con. testfor last place in the all-time hit parade. SOMEHOW the cast under theb Music Circle tent in Farm seemed to realize the utter use- lessness of it all and never really entered into the spirit of the show -if indeed there was one, As the snubbed socialite with the backwoods background, Joyce Randolph (she plays '1Trixie on television's "The Honeymooner) was in fine voice but never acted up to her part. The staging of her musical numbers was sparse at best while Miss Randolph showed little more stage presence and much less sense than a chorus girl. The only other outstanding member of the cast was Donald Sheehan, whose main trouble was that he threw himself into the role' too far and overacted from beginning to end--which ruined what. little potential effect his songs might have had. Evans Thornton, the Duke of Granada for whom the socialite falls, was adequate in a less than adequate role. Judy Guyll, the socialite's daughter, was really the only pleasant moment of the eve- ning. ONE GOOD character role, play- ed by Jane Connell, gave a much. needed lift to the show as it was acted with care. Another such role, with Gordon Connell as a Spanish hotel manager, was hackneyed and downright dull The most noticeable problems in this production of "Happy Hunt- ing" were with direction, choreo- graphy, and the singers and dan- ers of the ensemble - the very things that, executed with ex- cellence, had made successes of opther otentiallymediocre shows performed at Music Circle this summer. Most of all, the oast and its director and choreographer seemed to have missed the mood and pacing of the show altogether. Much of the dancing, in its very tempo and staging, was out of place in the musical. * * * THE SINGERS and dancers, outstanding in earlier shows this summer, were disappointingly staid -and not because the script called for it. A fine opportunity to redeem the show came with the huntin the second act but was fairly well passed up with anything but a show of creativity of imagination. "Happy Hunting" offers, at best, a little low comedy and social satire ,(if one is familiar with the Philadelphia set) and perhaps a song or two ("Mutual Admiration Society"). But it is not at all good musical comedy. - Vernon Nahrgang OFFICI A BULLETIN The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of the Univer- sity of Michigansfor which The Michigan Daily assumes no editor- ial responsibility.

LXVUI, NO. 25S i I EWING COCKRELL: Hard Worker for Peaceful World By ARTHUR EDSON Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON -This seems to be the season for peace ped- diers to hit the road. Our own itinerant diplomat, Secretary of State J. F. Dulles, is in London, talking over the Bagh- dad Pact. The Soviet Union's Nikita Khrushchev is studying timetables and roadmaps, eager, he says, to show his wares almost anywhere. England's Harold Macmillan seems ready to join him, while France's Charles de Gaulle is ask- ing, why not hold the sales meet- ing some place like Geneva? President Eisenhower, appar- ently unconvinced that this is the way peace will be had in our time, seems to be in the position of a reluctant card player. He doesn't care for a game where so many cards could turn out to be wild; but if the game is to be played, okay, deal. But let's watch whose deck we're using. * * * SO, WITH all the peace, ped- dlers ready to mill about, it's ap- propriate that Ewing Cockrell of ifERPRETING THE NEWS: Hooliganism in Russia, By J. M.

His statement nvicts his own government of hooligan- In the Soviet Union, hooliganism covers a lot of ground. One form of it is smuggling in jazz records. It also includes wearing American clothes, making passes at the ladies or getting drunk in public. Boorishness in public vehicles, disorderly conduct of any sort, is decried as non-Communist. U"NLESS A rock-throwing, window-breaking, ink-slinging crowd happens to be express- ing the government line. Then the police are powerless, and the newspapers hurl no charges of hooliganism. It may not be good taste in a sorely troubled world to comment on the more comical poses into which the Communists fall through their very intensity and solemnity. If they see no humor in portraying a tipsy youth who whistles at a girl as an enemy of the state, then they'll never laugh with the West, anyway. It is natural for Westerners to chuckle over how the mobs got so out of hand at the em- bassies in a spot where Khrushchev has such WAS IN THEIR EYES: Time for Revolution Clear to Iraq Soldier By The Associated Press BAGHDAD, Iraq - Brig. Abdul Karim Kassem, the man who made the- revolution in Iraq, says he knew the time was ripe for his July 14 coup because "I read the decision of the people in their eyes." At 44, Kassem's black hair and thin mustache are starting to turn gray. The thin, quiet officer who now is premier of the Iraqi republic is described by his associates as a dedicated revolutionist. "He is just a simple soldier," said a lieutenant from Kassem's old' armored brigade. "He is a bachelor because he did not want to en- Warrensburg, Mo., should be on the road, too. For Cockrell, it's an old story. As far back as 1950 he was nom- inated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Now 84, his hair so thin and scraggly it looks like wind-blown silk thread, Cockrell is pushing peace in every way he can: By talking to senators, urging them to go on record more firmly, by writing President Eisenhower, by-. "You say you write features?" he asked. "Good. I've got enough stuff here to keep you writing un- til 1960." To Cockrell, peace could be a simple thing. First, he would have an inter- national army strong enough to keep order. Second, he would disarm until no nation was powerful enough to challenge the international cop. Curiously, nearly every leader has gone on record saying almost the same thing. HERE ARE a few quotes from Cockrell's peace pack: President Eisenhower in 1950-- "It is clear that international dis- armament is essential to a stable, enduring peace. In a disarmed world - should it be attained - there must be an effective United Nations, with a police power uni-' versally recognized and strong enough to earn universal respect." Macmillan in 1955 -"Genuine disarmament must provide effec- tive international or, if we like, supranational authority invested with real power."

But Kassem took care to pre- serve every ontward annpe aran the year of the Suez crisis, but was called off when the govern- ment's intelligence branch nearly discovered it.
