Mediocre Mass Media

Continued from Page 3, Col. 2
which by its very nature demands
a wide audience.

The mediocrity in mass media
is self-perpetuating, in that the
public gets Westerns and by that
very fact is.conditioned to want
more of them, Education was ad-
vanced as the panacea to break
this vicious circle. Whether this
education itself could be at. least
partially effected through ‘mass
media was discussed, but on the
whole rather dubiously.

Of course the question came up
of value judgment in aesthetics.
Who am I, or more commonly who
are you to say that your taste is
any more valid than another per-
son’s?

For a moment the argument was
batted back and forth in the camps
‘of Beethoven’s Ninth versus Elvis
Presley, but our moderator cut it
off to substitute a new tangent.

masses, and any suggestion of gov-
ernment supperyt was immediate-
ly taken to be synonymous with
government control and its aura
of creeping socialism.

Nevertheless, there was a gen-
uine concern for the question at
hand among the participants,
and a cross-section of views which
met almost as often as they by-
passed one another. Our radio
expert ended the seminar with a
somewhat unrelated plea for edu-
cation.

from Suez), were not very hostile
toward the Fourth Republic. The
other two factions, .however, the
Gaullists ‘(who ‘wanted (General
deGaulle in power at the Head of
a strong regime) and the organ-
ized (Fascists (who favored an au-
thoritative regime like that of
Italy or of Germany), were vio-
lently opposed to the Fourth Re-
public.

The recent insurrection of Jan-
uary 24, 1960 is similar to that of
May, 1958 in many ways. Yet it
did not cause the fall of the gov-
ernment. This is due in large part
to the sheer power, personality,
and popularity of President de-

Senator John F. Kennedy, on
the very eve of the national
nominating conventions, force-
fully states his position on this
highly controversial issue in
Coronet Magazine. The Sen-
ator offers strong arguments
to prove that college loyalty
oaths do not really contribute
to security. Every student,

1527. Chestnut,
GILDED CAGE:

Gaulle, He, unlike Pv 3 Pre-
mier in ’58, was sure of police sup-
port of his orders and of popular
acceptance of his acts.

Thus it is deGaulle himself
who is responsible for the success

of his governmént. De Bré’s ad-
ministration is weak and changes
often. DeBré himself. does not
wield the power granted to him in
the constitution which puts real
authority\in the hands of the pre-
mier, and) gives to the president
the righ€ to arbitrate serious dis-
putes, etc. Instead, DeBré has
become a satellite of the all-pow-
erful deGaulle who makes all the
major decisions.

Furthermore deGaulle, creator
of the new constitution, violates
its precepts often. He has denied
to parliament the right guaranteed
to it of calling a session when
more than half of the deputies de-
mand it. He used his power to
dissolve parliament as a threat in



December in order to secure pass-

France’s Fifth Republic

age of the budget. He has disre-
garded his policy of a year ago
which required colonies desiring
independence. (iGuinea)..to. sever
relations with the French common-
wealth and is arranging for the

independence of several colonies in
Africa.

Thus, the fragile democracy
created by deGaulle is entirely
dependent upon him for its effect-
iveness. ‘The democracy is safe
as long as its hero retains power
and popularity as a sort of father-
image. But the next president
may not be so paternal. The po-
litical apathy which permitted de-
Gaulle to gain power and to retain
it may permit his successor to de-
stroy the democracy.

Among the courses that the
Fifth Republic can take is one in
which the president may eventu-
ally lose much of his new power
to the parliament. It is also poss-
ible that he may turn his power to
use to build a dictatorship.
