On Monday evening, December 3,

Prominent conservative,
_ He opened his discussion of the

_, Premises on which he based his ar-

ciety, “Boverpment is a “necessary
evil.” “Without government chaos

great. and’ desirable freedom~which.
must be preserved. | . 3. Power will
iherease itself until it is effectively
checked.
The division of, power betweéh
legislative, executive and judicial
branches on the levels of local,, state
and national levels is the instrument
for checking this misuse of power.

“Supreme Court vs. The Constitution2”—
Not only is ‘the federal government ~
usurping powers of the other gov-
ernments, Uzzell. contends; but the.
federal executive and judicial:
branches are encroaching on the
powers of the legislative. Recent
examples cited of ‘this ‘unconstitu-
tional- encroachment were. the’ feder-
al intervention ‘in the. “Ole Miss”
‘segregation problem and the New -
York Prayer Case. -
Uzzell ‘questioned, the wisdom
and constitutional legality of sev-
eral _recent.Supreme Court decisions
involving state sedition © laws; ~bar=
examinations, subversive ~persons’
trials and the “Marxist” income tax.
He also questioned the legality of
Kennedy’s use of federal troops in
Qxford, Mississippi, He cited it as
a possible violation “of article four,
section four of the Constitution.
Mr. Uzzell criticized not only the
wisdom and legality of the court’s
judgment, but also the laxity: of re-
quirements for the justices’ appoint-

time, the national was ‘given the

The implication is clear. The Pi

“eentlemen’s- agreement” to bar
non-whites, and has been trying to
sound out other locals concerning

Dean . Barr of ‘Swarthmore. The

«
The first part might be termed

often opposing: the orchestra in
interchanges of varied and evoly-

for flute and oboe darted around,.
and a passage reminiscent of Bach
entered on: the cello.. A sense of-

left the orchestra temporarily in
the background.)
Here and throughout Mr. Flan-
ders: played straightforwardly and
‘intensely, concentrating on the
evident sweep ‘and conviction of
the music, rather than on subleties
that were not essential. In the last
movement, sections in- which the
cello’s melody was supported by
full orchestral harmonies were
~ woven in-with folk-tunes and rhy-~ ~~
thms, There .was more for the lis-
tener to grasp in this~final part
than’ in_the first.
The entire work demands. fre- -
quent hard listening, so that what-
ever was. incofmprehensible-(for -in-
stance’ what the orchestra is actu-
ally doing and the relationship of
this to the solo part), may fall
into place. One. can say’ only that
the orchestra sounded assured. The
exciting Concerto gripped the au-
dience. until the last. note.
The other. major work-on the
program was Haydn’s Symphony

‘to be polite to those who hold opinions different from theirs.
At Monday’s lecture on the Supreme Court given by Stephen
Uzzell, the familiar situation of rabble-rousing students. was

This Time in “Ole Miss”
_ The editor of the Mississipian, the campus daily news-

censure from the Student Senate for her editorial stand on

the editor, did not comment on Meredith’s admission. to the
university: but urged that students accept Meredith once he

an editor it is her right and perhaps her duty to express dissi;
dent opinions. Students are free to oppose their newspapers

Snodgrass Prefaces Poenis .
With Everyday Experiences:
by Brooks Robards
The road from experience ‘to*
poetry is often circuitous. Yeats
entangled the events of his day-
to-day existence in a mythology of
occultism, Celtic lore and” faery;
Byron clothed it.in such imagin-
-ary figures. as Don Juan, Childe
Harold and Manfred.. ’
What is particularly .interesting
last Thursday, is that he puts the
events of daily experience into -his .
poetry so directly. a
Snodgrass prefaced most of the
readings of his poems with the
occurences in-his life from which\
they were distilled. He is neither
‘vague nor secretive about the pro-
cess by which\ his experience be-
comes his poetry. |
Born in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylva-
nia, Snodgrass later lived in. ano-
Pennsylvania . town,
Beaver’ Falls; ‘He went to high
school. there, and took.part in
school plays, was a, member of
the tennis team,.and played the.
tympani for the school orchestra.
“THE FLOOD”
‘The poem “The Flood” describ-
es the path which the life of one
of the boys. who. played.the coro-
net in.the orchestra with him has
taken. Before reading the poem,
Snodgrass explained how he had
returned. to Beaver Falls after
many years of absence. After see-.:
ing the damage done by a flood to
. pgorer section of town; including
that. of -his.-high -school-jorchestra
friend,-he-—wrote “The Flood.” —
‘After graduating. from high
school, Snodgrass attended Gene-
va College, went into the Navy,
and later went to the University
“of Iowa. While doing graduate
work at Iowa, he took a job a8 an
aide in a Veteran’s Administra-
tion Hospital. This job .was the

Mayakovsky was the poet oe
ate of Stalin’s Russia, but he’ saw
the dangers ‘of the technological so-
ciety developing in the Soviet Union.
The Bedbug, written in 1929, is a
devastating satire on the methan-
-ized life of the future. __
As a sort of symbol to the end of
the revolutionary era of free ex-
_ pression in the arts, Mayakovsky
‘committed suicide by loging at Rus-
* sian roulette on the morning of April

-The®Bedbug is divided into two
acts. The first is set in 1929,:the

act depicts the marriage of Ivan”

FIRST SCENE
. The pre-opening attempt by the
players to bring the audience into
. the play by hawking their wares
among the playgoers was a. touch-
ing move, but the young people play-
\ing ‘the peddlers did-not- succeed. in
carrying” off this connection. ~ They
did very well, however,. throughout -
the playin the many roles they were
required to act. The quick changes
es “fret weene
of _@stume and personality were -
uSually effective.
Originally, The Bedbug had a
score by Shostakovich, but that has
been lost. The current production
has music by Sidney: Shupak which
is often good, but too-frequent. Al-
though: several instruments are men-
tioned in the play (a°guitar is Pris-
ypkin’s symbol), it was not meant
to be a musical—only to have the
+s
music be another element in the .
range of speech types. Mr. Shupak,

Poyo Suggests Fallout Shelter for Population: Explosion,
But Dubos Has More Substantial Solutions to Problem
by Ronni Iselin
Pogo suggests that “a fallout

J. Dubos, of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute, offered another’ view in-~ his
recent Class of 1902 Iceture on “The

The. phrase, “poulation. explosion”

- the panic felt by the modern world,

addition, false and dangerous as-
sumptions stem ‘from the use of this

that there, is‘ an imminent food
shortage, and that the solution lies
‘in improving methods: of contracep-

If human concepts of. population
are fallacious, perhaps*the answer
‘lies in the animal kingdom. Mr.
Dubos points out ‘that animals have

problem concerns the basic biological

In his Interfaith discussion on
evening, Mr. Gordon asserted: that
much of what passes as freedom to-
day is “conditioned freedom,” or
_ discipline.
The discipline of laws, folkways,
and mores, molding the type of free-
dom which marks the acceptablé citi-
Zen, is taught in the home and am-

However, individuality asserted in
the sense of worthless: rebellion is
sélf-destructive. “The self-conscious

run, be a form of slavery,” Mr. Gor- .

On his return front the Japancea
prison camp, Mr. Gordon found his
ideas best expressed in Russian lit-
erature. The writings of Dostoevsky
in particular revealed the. erratic
“nature of freedom:~that freedom’ is
at once “divine and demonic, creative
and . destructive, rational and irra-
tiohal.”. -One of the characters’.in
Dostoevsky’s The Possessed declares
that to kill oneself is to achieve the .

interprets as: implying that, the only

Perelman Defines —
Types of Justice |
The idea of justice, an “important
but vague and confused ic,” was
the subject of.:a lecture given on
.November 26 by Mr, im. Perel-
man of ' ithe University of Brussels.
To slaty the subject; Mr. Perel-
“man distinguished three types of
justeie: the legal,
and the prophetic.
Legal. justice begins with the act.
the philosophic,
. In this realm, an act is-just.as if it-is
- -of-order).
‘method used
in~conformity~ with the-correct ap-
plication of a rule.
used to determine justice is like the
in mathematics and
physics: the emphasis is on correct-
ness and, ideally, no respect is paid
to the individual. The perfect judge,
~aecording- to~ Mr:—Perelman;—would
“pea machine, appl,
ng identical *
rules in identical circumstances.
In the sphere of philosophic jus-_
tice, the correct application of rules
is secondary, to the .question of
“whether the rules themselves are
just. Laws’ should conform. either. to
a pre-existing reality or to a ration-
al system. —
The basis of philssowbie justice
is -in—reason;-~Charity “is “a “supplé-
mient to it, as equity is a supplement
to-legai justice.
The core’ of prophetic justice is
the concept of a just agent, ‘Rules
of justice derive from the precepts
of this just agent.
_. The Judeo-Christian. view.. of jus-.
tice, Mr. Perélman declared, is ba-
sically a prophetic view, deriving
from the concept of the justice of
God. ‘Since God is seen as both jus-**
tice. and love, this idea’ of justice |
‘hardly distinguishes ‘between char-
ity (love of God) and justice (love
The just man -is-he who
imitates. the divine justice.
Thus, whereas the core of legal
justice. is the act, and of philosoph-
ical justice-human. reason, the heart
‘of prophetic justice is man and. his

Alger Hiss
Continued from Page 3, Col. 5
Kenneth Cox, head of the commis-
sion’s broadcast bureau pointed out
that they are not allowed to censor.
“But complaints on individual shows
are placed in balance with the over-
all performange and taken into ac-
count wi other complaints at
~-the time of license renewals.”
The main~question raised here _
is: wher¢ lies the elusive, ill-defined
border that separates “freedom of
ewpression”, from “irre8ponsibility” ?
Mr, Smith’ was quoted as saying
“Hiss was included in the program
because he -represented a critical
viewpoint on Nixon’s career, Hiss
is news.and we're in the news busi-
ness.” It. is interesting to note that
_ Mr. Smith was forced to. leave the
Columbia Broadcasing System -in—
——-Qeteber, 1961, -during.:an— argument
over his alleged “editorializing” in
