Out-State Students Add
Spice to'U' Flavor
CONOMICALLY speaking, the state and
the University collect a large profit from
numbers of out-of-state students who an-
ally trek to Ann Arbor for an education.

NE OF THE greatnesses of the University,
from this student's point of view, is its di-
sity - both in curricula and student body.
Great deal can be learned by reading news-

another thing.

Not all conversations among students, cer-
tainly, are held on such an intellectual or po-
litical plane, but listening to jazz or compar-

as near as Chicago or as far as Miami can be
pretty enlightening to a citizen of the water
wonderland, too.
IT IS AS IF the giant melting pot that is
America were condensed, a dash of inter-
national flavor added and the slice of human-
ity served up to members of the University
community. The slice is of select, prime quality,
made up as it is of people in approximately the
same age and intelligence brackets, but the
variations are sometimes obvious, sometimes
4 subtle, always there.
What each student does with the oppor-
tunity to hash out his ideas with people of
varying backgrounds is an individual matter,
but he can't very well avoid rubbing shoulders
with them in class, seeing them on campus
and - absorbing at least a little of their atti-
tudes.
As lone as the University continues to admit
students from outside the state, the melting'
pot will exist, the state will profit and alumni
may realize how many different people live in
this world and how many different approaches
there are to a common goal - a University
education.

LOWER CONTROLS:
Ike Corn Program
May Be Successful
By OVID A. MARTIN
Associated Press Farin Writer
WASHINGTON - Is the Eisen-
hower Administration in a
position to crow about its new but
highly controversial. corn pro-
gram?
Administration leaders say it
is. Critics are not so sure. ,
A new program for the nation's
biggest crop - used mainly for
production of meats, poultry and
dairy products-scrapped all fed-
eral productio controls. Put into
effect this year for the first time,
it allows farmers complete free-
dom to grow this crop. All growers
are eligible for price supports.'

and peanuts-all subject to plant-
ing shares doled out by the gov-
ernment.

RESPECTED:
Alt Azhar
Influential
By WILTON WYNN
AIRO () -- Ahmed Sharif had
to escape fromi his native land
in order to study theology.
Ahmed asked permission from
French authorities in 1952 to leave
his home in Senegal to study
theology abroad. The French re-
fused because the school Ahmed
had chosen was Al Azhar Univer-
sity in Cairo. The French appar-
ently feared he would become in-
doctrinated with niationalistic
ideas.
After four years of trying Ah-
med slipped across the Senegal
frontier illegally. He hitch-hiked
to Cairo and enrolled in the thou-
sand-year-old Azhar, center of
Islamic learning.
As an Azhar student, Ahmed was
given a subsidy by the Egyptian
government. of' eight pounds
monthly (almost $24). Added to
some fees he picked up by giving
French lessons, this enabled him
to live and study.
AS A SHEIK; or learned man,
from Al Azhar, Ahmed will be one
of the most highly respected men
in his conservative Moslem com-
munity. His opinions will be
sought, not only on religion but
also on politics.
He is one of thousands from all
over the Asian-African world who
study at Al Azhar and then return
to their communities to take posi-
tions of influence and leadership.
Although primarily a religious
institution, Azhar tends to reflect
the political thinking of President
Nasser..
There are approximately 5,000
foreign students enrolled at Al
Azhar from points as distant as
Indonesia, West Africa and Af-
ghanistan.
- *
THE NASSER regime shows its
appreciation of Al Azhar by the
financial aid it gives foreign stu-
dents.
The government recently has
completed a six million dollar
Azhar City where foreign students
can be housed. It comprises 4
buildings to be used as hostels.
the spearhead of Secretary of Ag-
riculture Ezra Taft Benson, de-
clared war on the corn program,
as it has on the wheat and some
other crop control programs., It
said the corn program was not
working.
The Administration finally per-
suaded Congress' to approve legis-
lation which would allow growers
to decide at a referendum be-
tween the old program and a new
one eliminating controls find set-
ting up lower price supports.
Farmers voted for the latter.
Advocates of the philosophy
that agriculture must learn to live
under government crop adjust-
ment programs predicted a huge
surplus of corn would result.
* * *
THESE FOLKS voiced "I told
you so" comments when the fed-
eral crop reporting board fore.
cast, before planting time, that
this year's corn acreage would"go
up 12 per cent over last year,
Then came the crop board's first
forecast on the size of the corn
and other major crops on July 10.
This report predicted nearly 15
per cent more acres of corn would
be harvested this year than last
and' that the crop would top last
year's record by slightly more
than 10 per cent. For the first
time in history, a corn crop in
excess of four billion bushels was
foreseen.
At first glance, this seemed like
.a vindication for Benson's oppon-
enits.
But there was another side to
the story. While the corn crop was
up sharply, the prospective pro-
duction of all livestock feed grains
was slightly below that of last
year, when the old program was
in effect. Then farhers haq been
paid several hundred million dol-
lars to hold 9 per cent of their
corn land out of production under
a soil bank land retirement pro-
gram.
Administration leaders say that
if the oat, barley and 'grain son-
ghun crops turn out as indicated,
the 1959 feed grain prograrmls will
cost the government much less
than last year's programs. Too,
they say, the 1959 crops will add
much .less to surplus supplies than
did the old one.

TODAY AND TOMORROW:
WITH PERFECT politeness and
genteel deference, Gov. Nel-
son Rockefeller of New York is
reaching for Vice-President Rich-
ard Nixon's Jugular vein.
Mr. Rockefeller's disclosure that
he will contest Mr. Nixon for the
Presidential nomination only if
the public opinion polls are kind
to him has hit the Nixon forces
hard-in their one vulnerable spot.
They had not been afraid of any
outright Rockefeller challenge in
the old-fashioned way -a frank
attempt to go out and grab pro-
Rockefeller delegates to next year's
GOP convention. They felt that
such an unhidden Rockefeller
thrust would shatter against Mr.
Nixon's rocklike position with the
regular, organization Republicans.
The Vice-President himself for
months has known, and privately
said, that the one danger from
Rockefeller was by way of an ap-
peal not to the organization Re-
publicans but to the large, happy
public by way of a personal popu-
larity contest. For the vague fac-
tors of like and dislike-the way a
man smiles or combs his hair-
have immense effect on the polls.
This every politician knows, none
more keenly than the Vice-Presi-
dent. The, trouble is that he has,
surely, been "controversial"-and
Rockefeller surely has not been.
THE ROCKEFELLER people,
therefore, are striking at Mr. Nix-
on in an area where his powerful
position, and even his historic suc-
cess in his Russian mission, will
not necessarily arm him quite
enough.
They are-doing this, moreover,
in such a way as to skirt the risk
of candidly hitting Mr. Nixon over
the head. They have left them-
selves free to say that Mr. Nixon
is the finest possible fellow - and
maybe' even the ablest, too - but
isn't it too bad that the polls indi-
cate he "can't win"? They are go-
ing to the public over the heads of
the "politicians," just as the Vice-
President, with his bleak realism,
always suspected they would.
This blandly adroit Rockefeller
strategy is basically the same
strategy by which from 1940 on-
ward the professional Republicans
have been overcome at every na-
tional convention. The results have

SOMETHING new, however, has
been added. For the Rockefeller,

here clearly see the fine non-Ital-

strength. It is so prepared that the,

Thus,,the Rockefeller people are
trying to neutralize their greatest:
previous obstacle. This was the
disinclination of many-GOP politi-
cians to break with Nixon, like
him or not, lest theirs seem an act
of utter rebellion punishable if
Nixon should triumph after all.
But you can hardly convict a
man as a revolutionary if he is
not really "opposing" you - but
is only awaiting the word of "the
people" as to whom ought to be
nominated. That is not ugly revolt;
that is only "objectivity."
No one should now write off Mr.
Nixon; he remains the favorite by
a wide margin. Certainly this is so
"as of now"-a phrase increasingly
being used.

"AS OF NOW" is a hedge against

The Rockefeller forces obviously
are going to be doing many things
to influence those polls. So-will the
Nixon forces. And the Nixon peo-'
ple will have the advantage of
operating with a tough and able
national figure-though not yet,
perhaps, a widely loved one.,
But their disadvantages, and the
Rockefeller advantages, will be
formidable. The national conven-
tion still is nearly a year away and
Nixon week by week will have to
take public positions on national
issues. Rockefeller will still be in
the honeymoon period at Albany,

doubt will run higher and blacker
with the name "Nixon." But they
will inevitably run more amiably
with the name "Rockefeller."

DENVER - An open letter to
television producers: Dear Sirs,
Colorado celebrates its centen-
nial this year with a colorful his-
tory little glorified in movies or on
TV.
All those Western heroes who
gallop across the television screens
seem to have avoided the Cen-
tennial State. Wyatt Earp and
Matt Dillon, brave as they were,
never ventured west of Kansas.
Tombstone is buried in Arizona;
and "Have Gun Will Travel," that
first Western credit card, operates
from San Francisco.
THEREFORE, gentlemen, we
give you Colorado. You may wish
to try a series on one of the min-
ing towns--Central City, Leadville
or Georgetown. You might at-
tempt a fur trapping Western, a
mountain - climbing Western or
even a skiing Western. You would
still have to add your touch to
make Colorado Western truly adult
-the cowboys, the 'Indians and
the psychologists.
But be careful. There is some
material which must be reserved
for Westerners alone, some dubi-
ous sidelights which improve with
Iage and good liquor.
One such subject is a gentleman
named Ogilvy. Colonel Ogilvy was
a renouwned horseman and a re-
porter for the Denver Post, a leg-
eni in itself The Cnnnel workIr
ace's hospitality with a somewhat
crude gesture. On a bet that he
could clear the hotel of all guests
at 2 a.m., Colonel Ogilvy sent a
horde of rats, followed by yelping
hounds, through the inner cham-
bers. He won the bet.
The grand finale-in every sense
--was the Colonel's funeral. Unlike
most such occasions, the corpse
was alive. The Colonel placed his
funeral notice in the Post, rented
a coffin and climbed in. His pur-
pose was to determine how many
mourners would come to his last
rites when the inevitable really
did happen.
As the license plates say, Colo-
rado is Colorful. But, gentlemen
of Hollywood, -we suspect that the
vivid hues of the state's history
are too bright even for color TV.
