And it is this, aspect that is likely to send idders up the backs of the scholars and stu- its who, after all, are most- Involved in issue. 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- ers and magazines and listening to a lec- er delve into the causes and effects of the Preme Court's decision jiemanding ntegra- n in the south - nearly every college can BĀ®orn LoSer DOR Mr. Nixon. He can't do anything right. If he had signed a treaty of peace with Mr. rushchev, no doubt he would have been used of doing it solely for partisan political rantage.' )r, if he would come out against sin, many ght call it a "dirty political trick.". Vo,, he'd better quit now while -he's ahead; er all, the "liberals" haven't compared him Hitler . . . yet. --PHILIP SHERMAN give its students this - opportunity, to a greater or lesser degree than is found here." But to come face to face with someone from Arkansas or Louisiana or any place in the south, to confront him with the issue and to hear him informally talk about the attitudes of the people who are living with the decision,, either combating or supporting it, "is quite another thing. If all of the 23,000 or so students inhabiting the city were native Michiganders, no one would have the opportunity to listen to an incensed Puerto Rican give his personal and candid reasons for not wanting his home coun- try to be the 51st state, or learn the religious beliefs of a Hindu, or.. Not all conversations among students, cer- tainly, are held on such an intellectual or po- litical plane, but listening to jazz or compar- ing social customs with a fellow student from 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. -KATHLEEN MOORE "Say, What Ever Happened to This Quiz Program?"

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.' * * * ' CORN HAD BEEN in a class with cotton, rice, tobacco, wheat and peanuts-all subject to plant- ing shares doled out by the gov- ernment. But the administration, under 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. YIYr L E T T E R S to the EDITOR Silence. To-the Editor: LIKE MUSIC, but I'm studying for exams.

Barr, Jr., '61E 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.

Eisen- hower, and the nomination twice of the master of that strategy, Thomas E. Dewey of New York. * * * SOMETHING new, however, has been added. For the Rockefeller, approach - in which politicians here clearly see the fine non-Ital- ian hand of Dewey-has one new strength. It is so prepared that the, try can be made without drawing. a visible sword 'against Nixon. 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 what those well-known polls may be saying along in the late fall 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, simply running his own state shop and not required to make many. people angry. The headlines no doubt will run higher and blacker with the name "Nixon." But they will inevitably run more amiably with the name "Rockefeller."

By JAMES BOW 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. DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN Willie's Words .. .
