Picks Spain For the fou r th s t r a igh t year a

Hope Student has been selected to be sent abroad for a summer of t ravel and s tudy as Holland's Com-muni ty Ambassador . The Holland p rog ram is pa r t of a nation wide plan called the Exper iment in In-ternat ional Living. Locally, the

project is financed by religious, commercial , and service organiza-tions th roughout the community .

This year, K. Don Jacobusse, a Hope junior , was chosen f r o m a g roup of eleven appl icants . Mr. Jacobusse has selected Spain as his field of s tudy fo r the the sum-mer . He will t ravel f o r one month th roughout Spain and then spend his second month living with a Spanish f ami ly . He believes tha t in th is way he will be able to get a comprehensive picture of life in Spain.

Mr. Jacobusse has chosen Spain because of the many sharp con-t r a s t s which exist between Spain and the United Sta tes . In addi-tion to being a dic ta torship , Spain is nearly one hundred per cent Roman Catholic. Fu r the rmore , hav-ing both remained neutral dur ing World W a r II and having main-tained a res t r ic t ive a t t i tude to-ward fore ign tour is t s , Spain is to-day one of the most cul tura l ly isolated and least known countr ies in Europe . Because of our new t r e a t y ag reemen t s wi th Spain, she is f a s t becoming an impor tan t f ac to r in our internat ional policy.

merge r of the two "Y ' s " was also

voted upon, but these resul ts a re being with-held until the YMCA body votes upon the same issue.

The joint science d e p a r t m e n t s have announced plans fo r an open house in the science building on the evening of April 9. Purpose of the project will be to acquaint the res t of the college with the ac-t ivi t ies and accompl ishments of the depa r tmen t s .

S tudents will set up a p p a r a t u s fo r demons t ra t ions of scientific ex-per iments and show the use of o ther specialized equipment .

THE HAWKINSON MEMORIAL LECTURES

Dr. Hawkinson was vi ta l ly in teres ted in promot ing an unders tand ing of o ther na t ions among Hope College s tuden t s and Holland citizens. She vigorously chal lenged both g roups to p repa re themselves f o r the type of world leadership which

the United S ta tes mus t provide if the f r e e world is to sur -vive. Through the es tab l i shment of the Communi ty Ambas -

sadorship and her dynamic lectures she appreciably widened the horizon of the college and the communi ty .

Those who have known Dr. Hawkinson, the s tuden t s whom she t a u g h t and counselled, her colleagues, and all he r f r iends , will be happy to learn tha t a f u n d is now being raised f o r the college th rough which we hope to ca r ry on

her dea res t dream and which will provide a las t ing t r ibu te to her vision.

Through the Hawkinson Memorial Lectures on inter-nat ional re lat ions Hope College expects to br ing to the campus s t a tesmen and scholars who have made dis t inguished contr ibut ions in world a f fa i r s . A t least one such lecture will

be given every year and i t is expected t h a t these lec tures will be compiled and published under the t i t le of "The Hawkinson Memorial Lec tures" .

We a re certain tha t th i s project would have pleased Dr. Hawkinson, not because she would have wanted a memorial f o r hersel f , bu t because i t promises to reflect credit on the College, the Communi ty , and the cause of en-l ightened American pa t r io t i sm. Those who wan t to join us in honor ing memory of a magnif icent t e a c h e r are urged to contact members of the Hawkinson Commit tee or send the i r contr ibut ions to Mr. Henry Steffens, T r e a s u r e r , Hope College.

THE MC CARTHY PROBLEM Featured in this issue of the Anchor on page five is a carefully

detailed analysis of America 's most complex and widely publicized problem—Senator Joe McCarthy. This material was accumulated and organized by Bruce Van Voorst, and quite methodically exposes Senator McCarthy exactly as the records reveal him to be.

Today, McCarthy and his "crusade" have been publicized to the extent tha t his name is on the lips of peoples throughout the entire world. But in these United States , "McCarthy f e v e r " has swept over the nation like a contagious disease. Individuals and groups of indi-viduals who rarely show an interest in politics have entered the grea t American debate either fo r or agains t McCarthy. The large major i ty of Americans seldom know the details behind the principles they so

vehemently a t tack or defend. By placing before the s tudent body this article, "Joe College Looks

a t Joe McCarthy," the Anchor is operat ing on the theory t ha t the average college student often lacks the time to keep pace with current political developments." This article is one man ' s interpretat ion of the "McCarthy problem" based on solid facts . Some may disapprove,

but "the fac ts are there" none the less.

IVHATS ON YOUR

MIND? Question: Are you satisfied with

the present concert series system —or how would you like to see it improved ?

Lois Toringa, Sophomore. On the whole, I think the choice

of concerts this season has been of a fine quality. If there were a change in the type of music, the s tudents would not know what to expect and attendance might de-crease. On the o ther hand, if qual-ity can be maintained with a change, I'm for it.

Larry Veenstra, Senior. The concert series has great ly

improved in the past year and the only improvement now would be to have more—say one a month all year. If the concerts could be on weekends, I believe the problem of what to do on these nights would be answered and also the student at tendance would be bet-

ter .

Alyce Depree, Sophomore. Would it be possible to have a

var ie ty in the types of music fo r the several concerts ? Music be-comes more pleasurable the more you know about it. The present series is very interest ing, but not varied enough.

Jack Corry, Senior. Why not have two or three

well-known at t ract ions tha t are capable of producing really fine music ra ther than a number of groups tha t have trouble being

mediocre.

Rosalind Smith, Junior . Yes, I am satisfied with it, but

I do realize tha t the general con-sensus of opinion is tha t most of the music is too heavy. Every con-cert in which an ar t i s t is able to project his personali ty in a light appealing way is always more suc-

cessful.

Jan Gravink, Junior . I think on the whole the concerts

were very good, but I think there should be .more variety. Fo r my-self, I would p re fe r to have one outstanding group. I think it would be more beneficial if the concerts were held on week-ends because more could at tend.

Nick Pool, Sophomore. I think tha t the present concert

series is not only adequate but f a r too fine in quali ty for the amount of support that it received. I think tha t the lack of publicity and the general cultural apa thy here is ap-palling.

Ruth Bloodgood, Senior. I think the selection of a r t i s t s

suited many people who had season tickets. However, fo r myself I would have prefer red to see some other type of a r t i s t in place of the Stanley Str ing Quartet te .

Bob Fortiner, Junior . Student response to the series

could perhaps be improved if more emphasis was put on music and musicians of the present day. Benny Goodman is now tour ing with a group which combines both the classical and modern types of music.

Carol Hoffs, Junior. I think the series was excellent

this year as f a r as calibre and variation go. More concerts would be an improvement, al though I realize there is a lack of funds . What I would like to see changed is the student response to the series. It should be much grea ter .

PRESSURES HINDER EDUCATION Definitions of academic f reedom are probably as numerous as there

are educators th roughout . the world. Colleges, however, should be most concerned with i ts meaning and practice, as ins t i tu t ions special-

izing in the development of intellectual and creat ive activities.

Academic freedom stands fo r the indiv idual-prerogat ives of the professional educator, as well as fo r broad, liberal, inst i tut ional policies. It guarantees safe conduct to the f r e e exchange of ideas and to the r ight of personal point-of-view. It assures the school f reedom for

outlining its eventual aims in education.

Education is the business of schools and the men and women who have made it their profession. Although the basic learnings have not changed since the t ime of the Greeks and Romans, yet the horizons of education have altered immeasurably. Ideas change and develop. Old

theories become outmoded and are replaced by be t te r ones.

Eternal pressures on the educational insti tution are s t rong. Everyone knows something about education; it is a common experience. Therefore, criticism comes f rom every quar ter , o f ten f rom individuals or groups who do not unders tand the constant changes which affect teaching and administrat ion in the progressive move toward improve-ment. The opinions of critics are clouded by embedded ideas of "how

school used to be in my t ime."

Four pressures which sometimes hinder the educational inst i tut ion come f rom (1) the school's entrenched " t radi t ions" , f r equen t ly out-dated; (2) the alumni, a s t rong lobby of financial suppor te r s with sentimental a t tachments ; (3) the church, a sensitive moral watchdog; and (4) the local community, which demands conformity to i ts own

thoughts and actions.

The school must yield to these pressures; it mus t appease, be-cause it is in a position of dependence. It must make concessions, lest it al ienate the sympathy of any section. Financial suppor t would

wither ; the enrollment would drop.

Does academic freedom also include the r ight of the school to be relieved f rom unnecessary s t ra in and cri t icism? Yes. The only sure way to distinguish a good school f rom an infer ior one is by the product—the graduate . But even the graduate changes yearly. The 1954 model should not be expected to duplicate the 1934, 1944, or 1964

models.

The world changes. Meanings change. Education is a lways on the move, changing, extending, enveloping, like the amoeba. Educators must keep abreast of these changes, look into the f u t u r e , and modify their programs, while still keeping in sight the basic objectives of teaching. And there will a lways be critics who f e a r change.

LOVE'S VALUE TO HUMANITY If I obtain the finest formal education beyond the dream of past

ages, and increase not my sense of understanding of human relations, my mind becomes confused and my contribution to society will be nil.

Though I sit a t the fee t of the grea tes t of teachers and learn some of their f r u i t s of learning, and may even have the ability to in terpre t their studies and perhaps be able to apply some of their principles but have no vision fo r humanity, I am total ly blind.

Though I may be able to memorize dates, in te rpre t events, ex-plain the most intr icate fo rmulae and ful ly unders tand the latest developments in current research, and though I may give my life fo r the promotion of learning, unless I have a profound respect fo r human relationships my life is incomplete.

Love has a human concern. Love always finds the t rue relation-ship in human values. Love never forces men to compete unfai r ly for the advancement of human knowledge. Love creates the sense of feeling that knowledge is the common proper ty of all mankind. Love seeks to make society a whole. It to lerates no par t i san feel ing in its search for t ru th . Love f rees all men f rom f e a r , teaches them a t rue sense of duty and encourages them to live f o r the common good.

Knowledge and learning created by love never fai l , but whether there be selfish in terpre ta t ions made fo r personal gain, they shall fa i l ; whether there be false philosophies of education they shall cease; whether there be knowledge based upon false historical premises, it shall vanish away. For we know tha t t rue learning in i ts completeness is at present beyond the minds of all men. Little by li t t le with sincerity and open-mindedness can we discover the new f ron t i e r s of learning. When the perfect comes, then we must discard t ha t which we may have held to be t rue f o r generat ions. When I was a child I thought learning was a simple thing. Now I have become a man I find t ha t t r u th is hard to discover and to fu l ly understand. It takes humili ty, patience and a sense of human concern to find the real t r u t h about God's uni-verse. For now we see in our educational inst i tut ions many diverse and conflicting principles and practices but when we seek honestly and intelligently t rue in terpre ta t ion of our universe then will we be-come perfect scholars before our God.

And now abideth intellectual t ru th , justice and love, these three ; and the grea tes t of these is love.

Russians Voice Bigoted Opinions of America

(Edi tor ' s Note: This is the 3rd in a series of art icles wri t ten by Dean Schoelkopf, editor of the Minnesota Universi ty Daily, and one of seven American college editors recently returned f rom a three week tour of Russia.)

We heard it everywhere we went. This is the line: The Russian people suffered grea t losses in the last war. Their homes and factories were leveled. Their f r i ends and relatives were killed and crippled. And so they want peace, they say.

They think the American people want peace, too. But they believe tha t " w a r mongers" control the government . They say President Eisenhower does not really set policy but is a "tool of the mon-opolies."

Anatoly Krasilevich, 25, an en-gineering student at Moscow Uni-versity, told me he doesn't think there will be a war between the United Sta tes and Russia for five or six years .

" I t will take America tha t long to get ready a f t e r your losses in the Korean war ," he said. "But there will never be a war unless the United Sta tes a t t acks Russia."

We were repeatedly asked why the United Sta tes is building a net-work of air bases around the Soviet Union. The Russian people think the bases will be used to launch an aggressive war . "

When we asked s tudents why Russia keeps the largest s tanding army in the world, we were told it is f o r defensive purposes only. One in te rpre te r told us tha t Russia does not have any long-range bombers—only fighters f o r defense.

Our other in te rpre te r smiled at tha t obvious unt ru th .

Along with the words about peace, Soviet leaders have been carrying on an extensive program of ant i-American propaganda. We could see evidence of it every-where. Posters in the factories and schools depicted Uncle Sam as a vi l lain—carrying cannons under his a rms, dollar bills in his eyes, commit t ing some mayhem on John Bull and characters represent ing other nations.

Cartoons in magazines and news-papers follow the same theme: dol-lar -hungry American mili tarists , politicians or businessmen looking for war or money, or both.

We asked why there should be all these hate-America posters if Russia really was interested in fr iendship among nations. We al-ways were told tha t these posters w e r e not directed against the American people, but agains t the mil i tary men and monopolies who want war .

Russians think the United Sta tes already has s tar ted one war—in Korea. We were told tha t Secre-tary of Sta te Acheson and Presi-dent Truman planned the war with Sygman Rhee, and tha t South Korean troops invaded N o r t h

Korea. But the political consciousness

of the Russians we met extended beyond international affairs . They

COME IN

"Like A Lion"

were much interested in internal problems of the United States.

We were of ten asked about Sen. McCarthy. Usually the question was. How much popular support does he have? They said they think most Americans oppose him. They called him a fascis t and an enemy of Russia.

We were asked about the r ights of Negroes in America, and why there were no negroes in our group. We were asked about our political affiliation, and to define the differ-ence between Democrats and Re-publicans.

Our religion interested Soviet s tudents, and at Kharkov Univer-sity we were asked if we believed in God. When three members of our group said yes, the 300 Rus-sian youth remained silent. When one said no, they applauded and cheered.

Even more dis turbing to us than the Russians ' misconceptions about the United Sta tes was the con-formi ty of thought we found at colleges and universit ies—places we think of as centers of f ree dis-cussion.

We could ask the same question at e v e r y school—about Beria, Korea or anyth ing else—and we would get the same answer every time.

A student would answer and say he was speaking for all s tudents of the Soviet Union. When we asked how he could speak for a s tudent a thousand miles away, he would reply tha t all s tudents have the same thoughts on important issues.

Despite all the talks we had with s tudents , we never could get on sufficiently int imate terms with any of them to determine if there were any dissenters.

We talked to selected groups and individuals. But even had we wan-dered completely at random, there would have been a real reluctance on the pa r t of Soviet citizens to disclose any rebellious thoughts to foreigners—especial ly Americans.

Emersonian Fraternity History Seeking to a t t a in moral , social, and intel lectual development , a small g roup of m a t u r e Hope College

men s tudents set out to f o rmu la t e a society th rough which they could gain and pe rpe tua te these ideals. With this idea fo remos t in the i r minds, the Emerson ian Society was founded in the fa l l of 1919.

The vi ta lness of the organizat ion and the ac t iveness of the members soon raised the Society to a place of high s tanding and pres t ige among the o ther exis t ing societies on campus . With LOVE, HONOR,

and SUCCESS as a guiding motto,

Emerson ian has blazed a trai l of leadership on the campus th rough-out the succeeding yea r s by de-veloping men f o r leadership in all phases of campus act ivi ty.

The Society, composed of men f r o m var ious localities and f r o m varied backgrounds, grew in mem-bership and ma tu r i t y and in the fa l l of 1929, they dropped the Nons de P lumes to emerge a F r a t e r n i t y with a g r ea t her i tage . Increased membership necessi tated a l a rge r home than the white house a t 77 W. 9th, so the Emersonian Alumni Association, incorporated under the laws of the S ta te of Michigan, was organized. This group purchased the Southern For t ress , previously known as Beach Court . Since t h a t t ime, this house has become the Alma Mater to all Emersonians .

Then came the t ry ing years , the t ime of the World War . The men responded whole-heartedly. With enl is tments and the d r a f t , soon only the las t ing memory, and the g r e a t t radi t ion remained. Even the citadel of Emerson became leased to the Army and College fo r war use. In 1946, by an act of the Board of Trus tees , the College de-clared tha t they must own all f r a -t e rn i ty houses if the la t te r were to remain on campus. Thus the Alumni Association was forced to give up the Alma Mater , bu t it was still to remain the residence

of Emerson men.

Beginning a f r e s h in the fa l l of 1947, the F r a t e r n i t y again assumed i ts place of s tanding on campus. Sparked by the quali ty of i ts lead-

ership and ta lent , Phi Tau Nu f u r t h e r advanced the founding

ideals of ga in ing ma tu r i t y th rough pres t ige and se l f -a t t a inment .

Today among the hus t le and bustle of the world and college life, Emersonian still s t r ives to keep the rich he r i t age which has mani-fested itself in a purposefu l , mean-ingful organizat ion. Amid the prob-lematic s i tua t ions which seem un-surmountable today, we need only to look a t the gule and sable colored emblazement of the F r a -te rn i ty crest to receive inspirat ion to continue a long the r igh t way.

Growing yet in activit ies, E m e r -sonian still holds f a s t to i ts final aim, t h a t being: to combine the vital i ty of youth with the s tabi l i ty of ma tu r i ty to produce gent lemen who will make both Hope College and Emerson ian proud to have them as Alumni . G. Stoddard .

The Greates t Fai th Ever Known by Ful ton Ourslev and April Our-s ler A r m s t r o n g 225.95 Ou7g

This book completes the retell-ing of the Bible t ha t Ful ton Our-slev begun in the Grea tes t Story Eve r Told, which dealt with the life of J e sus as found in the fou r Gospels. The Grea tes t Fa i th Ever Known is the s tory of the found-ing of Chr is t iani ty and of the men who followed Jesus ' s teps to spread His word to the world. It retel ls the s to ry of the Book of Acts, and gives the se t t ing in which the Epis t l es of Paul , Pe te r , and J a m e s were wr i t t en . They Dare to Believe by Robert

M. Bar t le t t 920.02 B284t This is a book of inspir ing s tor ies

about 17 cit izens of the world. These are s tor ies of moral courage. They reflect d ramat ica l ly the f a i t h of 17 g rea t modern men and women.

This reveals the i r f a i t h in humani -ty, in noble ideals, and in the wil l ingness of o thers to share the i r

idealism and to be motivated by it. Each man or woman in these "pro-files" has dedicated himself or herself to a life of self-sacrif ice

f o r the good of mankind.

The Sinner of Saint Ambrose by Robert Reynolds 813 R218s

The S I N N E R O F S A I N T AM-BROSE is a spacious and sweep-ing novel which rec rea tes the t r e -mendous events of Rome's last days and fal l . It is also the moving

s to ry of one man ' s search f o r God, and in individual t e r m s it describes contexts of f a i th and pr inciples—as u rgen t today as in the re ign of

Theodosius the Great . This is t h e s to ry of Gregory Ju l ian and wi th Gregory we watch the bril l ian and t r ag ic spectacle of Rome in decay.

a two-day vacation f r o m classes. Teachers College has come up with clubs and makeup w o r k — j u s t to give s tudents t ime to read f o r thei r own pleasure .

The vacation—called "Reading Daze"—has no s t r ings a t tached . No one is to check up on the s tudents to see if they are read ing or not, nor is anyone to d ic ta te wha t a

s tudent should read.

S tudents were asked, but not re-quired, to browse about before the holiday, and then to read whatever they liked jus t so long as it wasn ' t school or club work. College li-b ra r ians repor ted s tuden t s ' t a s t e fell heavily toward fiction.

Meanwhile, a t Agnes Scott Col-lege in Decatur , Ga., "Suppressed Desires d a y " turned the campus upside down.

S tudents a t tended class, chapel

Time Sifts Music That Will Endure

by Pat Pickens

I t is ironic in the world of a r t t ha t those works which a re f a m o u s now were probably li t t le noticed in thei r own day, and the a r t i s t who was recognized as a genius while still l iving has genera l ly been fo rgo t t en . In this sor t ing and s i f t i ng by Time we have been given

the best instead of the mediocre but we have lost some lovely, im-por t an t music in the process.

In I ta ly today a group of men a re unear th ing some of these old manuscr ip t s of f o rgo t t en composers a s well as chamber music wr i t t en by men we think of as symphonic or operat ic composers.

A new 12" record on the marke t includes a Sona ta f o r Violin, Cello and Double Bass by Rossini; Con-certo in G Ma jo r f o r P iano and S t r i ngs by Cambini ; and Recita-tive f o r Violin and S t r ings by Bonpor t i—very much of an un-

known, but his music is some of the loveliest I 've heard.

New records in the popular line include revivals of old f avor i t e s in orches t ra and vocals. The Glenn Miller t u n e s ' ^ re r e tu rn ing to the top of the pile. Art ie Shaw and his c lar inet a re back. Another J azz A g e ? Some a re hoping f o r it. A f t e r an amaz ing come-back in the movie, " F r o m Here To E te rn -

i ty", F r a n k S ina t r a has re tu rned with his smooth easy s tyle on an LP recording of "Songs f o r Young

Lovers" , and is qui te a relief a f t e r a long s t re tch of human ai r - ra id sirens, a motley group, who re-

mind one of the proverbial "ca t on the back fence ." Bop, I hope, has gone forever . F rom the motion

pic ture "The Wild Ca t " comes a nice l i t t le L P of jazz themes . Selec-

tions include: Hotshoe, Windswept , Scramble, Chino, and Blues f o r Brando—a scint i l la t ing recording f o r real jazz lovers.

Ar t i e Shaw, unique in his in ter -pre ta t ion of jazz has created a subt le ty and wit in his recordings to make him one of our g r e a t con-t empora ry a r t i s t s . Since 1940 he and his Gramercy Five have done amaz ing th ings with a harps ichord , clar inet , t r u m p e t , gu i ta r , and bass. His musicians are r emarkab ly skill-fu l and are f r e s h in the i r experi -menta t ion, t yp i fy ing the best jazz a t t he end of the Second World W a r .

And so it goes. If Petr i l lo con-t inues in "fine work" a s head of the Musicians Union there may be some new records tha t I can re-por t on f o r the next issue. If not, I hea r the re are several Russian releases jus t received f r o m Vladi-vostok.

The A n c h o r Staff cordially

wishes the S tudent body, Facul ty ,

and Adminis t ra t ion , a most scin-

t i l la t ing S p r i n g Vacat ion.

Joe College Looks at 1/ / 3 f 2" c - 1/ ^ v, V o o r s t

Emphasis on Conformity Seen as Greatest Menace

Joe McCarthy

"Society has now fa i r ly got the be t te r of indi-vidual i ty; and the danger which th rea tens human na tu re is not the excess, but the deficiency, of personal impulses

and preferences . . . . Thus the mind itself is bowed to the yoke; even in wha t people do f o r pleasure , con-fo rmi ty is the first t h ing though t of ; they exercise choice only among th ings commonly done: . . . . until by dint of not following the i r own na tu re they have no na tu re to follow . . . . and (become) general ly wi thout e i ther opinions or fee l ings of home growth, or proper ly thei r

own. These are not the words of an

aroused critic of Sena tor Joseph R. McCarthy. They a re the con-sidered words, wr i t ten more than a half century ago, of John S t u a r t

Mills, g rea t British social philoso-pher . They indicate t remendous

ins ight into the s t ages of g rowth then being entered by the Bri t ish and American democrat ic political

inst i tut ions. This same idea, al-though not recognized as such, is now headlined in newspapers f rom

coast to coast. The wisdom of Mills is only jus t now becoming accepted o n t h e con temporary

American scene.

(Because of the cur ren t in-

teres t sur rounding what is commonly called "McCar thy-ism," a special in te rpre ta t ion

of the junior Sena to r f r o m Wisconsin has been prepared

fo r presentat ion th i s week. — E d i t o r )

This art icle is an evaluat ion of McCarthy. It is critical because the f ac t s themselves a re cri t ical . But he is of in teres t to us only

because he, along wi th his name, has become synonymous f o r ex-tending the in te rpre ta t ion of dem-ocracy to a point where it approxi -ma tes conformity . We shall look closely a t the McCarthy s tory not because the antics of a single Sen-a to r are going to shape the dest iny of our nation, but because the thinking he represen ts can conceiv-ably do so.

Contained within the concept of McCarthyism are the vital ques-tions of goals and methods. For these we must look a t the personal h is tory of the Sena tor himself .

Senator Joseph R. McCarthy In one impor tan t respect Mc-

Car thy fa i l s to proper ly represen t many of his more t hough t fu l fol-lowers. They suppor t him because

of a serious conviction tha t Com-munism and its internal mani fes -ta t ions in the United S ta t e s a re a t h r e a t to our nation. The Senator , on the other hand, has not only proven himself i rresponsible mor-ally to under take this search, but also blind of the mean ing of t rue conviction.

His his tory pr ior to becoming a United Sta tes Sena tor shows him as a man of willy-nilly convictions and s tandards . His cha rges of "20 yea r s of t r eason" a re in te res t ing in view of his own reg i s t ra t ion as a Democrat until 1937. A t t ha t

time he found office ge t t i ng diffi-cult in a Republican region and so ran up a di f ferent s tandard . This, in i tself , is nothing ter r ib ly unusual. But the political career tha t followed was marked by what can only be t e rmed " i r regu la r i t i e s . "

As a circui t judge he received the only condemnation ever handed down by a Chief Jus t ice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court . I t s ter-minology included "abuse of ju-dicial power," "highly improper ,"

and " r eg re t t ab l e s ta te of a f fa i r s . " Basis of the cha rges were a case involving acceptance of ex t r a fees fo r rapid processing of divorce cases and illegal des t ruct ion of

court records.

When w a r broke out 32-year-old-McCarthy, a f t e r asking f r i ends what branch of the service had

most political appeal , joined the Marine Corps. Al though the Con-gressional D i r e c t o r y biogra-phy (which sena tors themselves ap-

prove) says he enlisted as a buck private, photos ta t ic copies of his papers show he received a commis-sion. Serving as an intelligence

officer, McCar thy w a s n e v e r wounded, never qualified f o r aerial gunner ' s wings, and never flew a combat mission. In spi te of the

f ac t P e n t a g o n records showed these fac t s , a f t e r he was elected Senator a ci tat ion was issued by Admiral Nimi tz ' office pra is ing him for service as "mar ine ob-

server and rea r gunner . "

McCarthy actual ly flew twice, both in one day, mak ing sure his picture was taken in order t ha t he could l a te r run as "Tai l -gunner Joe." Unsuccessfu l in his 1944 bid agains t Alexander Wiley, the Sen-

a tor resigned his commission and left the Corps on F e b r u a r y 20, 1945, six bloody months before the

war ended. His wounds: a leg broken dur ing ini t iat ion horseplay

while crossing the equa tor on a ship. In the recent Peress case, he was quoted as saying, ". . . . all you've go t to do is join the Com-munist conspiracy to ge t an (ear ly)

honorable d ischarge ."

Upon his r e tu rn , McCar thy vio-lated the s t a t e const i tut ion by run-ning aga ins t Rober t M. LaFol le t te , J r . , while still a judge. The s t a t e supreme court l a te r held tha t if he had run f o r s t a t e office h is votes would have been t thrown out, but that they had mv jurisdict ion over a federa l office. Never the less the s t a t e bar rebuked the Senator f o r violating the const i tut ion and his

oath as a t to rney and circuit judge, a condemnation agreed upon by the s t a t e supreme court .

The Numbers Racket

As a Sena tor McCar thy did noth-ing to dis t inguish himself , aside f rom several abor t ive a t t emp t s to find a politically popular cause, until Wheel ing, West Virginia, on F e b r u a r y 9, 1950. Newsweek re-ported tha t "Even McCarthy 's closest and most admir ing f r i ends will admi t t ha t in 1950 he didn' t

know much about Communism, ex-cept t h a t it was a menace." Several commit tees had been making the headlines with invest igat ions, and the Sena to r got into the act.

According to sworn s t a tements and tape recordings, McCarthy said on t h a t night , "I have in my hand a list of 205 (members of the Communis t P a r t y ) t h a t w e r e known to the Secre ta ry of S ta te as such . . . . and are still working and shap ing policy." The figures have been changed many t imes by McCarthy, even twice in the Con-

gress ional Record, but the 205 shows an in te res t ing insight into

the McCar thy method.

On Ju ly 26, 1946, f o u r years before the speech was made, a let-

ter to Congressman Sabath f r o m Secre ta ry of S ta te Byrnes concern-ing t r a n s f e r of 3,000 screened em-ployees f r o m other agencies read, " a recommendat ion aga ins t per-manen t employment has been made in 284 cases by the screening com-mit tee . . . . ( the re have been) 79 actual ly separ ted f rom service . . " This leaves 205 persons, but there wasn ' t even an inference tha t the

a commit tee of which McCarthy

was a member . The repor t also quest ions cer ta in

deal ings when Appleton S ta te Bank was press ing McCarthy f o r collec-tion with Pepsi-Cola Company dur-ing which t ime company represent -at ives were endors ing a $20,000 note f o r the Senator while Mc-Car thy bat t led f o r a relaxat ion of suga r controls , someth ing the Com-pany needed badly. In fou r years , s t a r t i ng with nothing, McCarthy deposited $172,623 in the bank. In several ins tances McCar thy 's in-ves tments immediate ly preceded RFC help or government crop pr ice-suppor t announcements . In spite of the repor t , McCarthy was seated in the Senate , reflecting not his mer i t s but the close division of the Senate which made ejection of a Republican politically im-

possible.

The Score Thus F a r

The only justif ication f o r con-ceding to the Sena tor ' s methods is t h a t he is mak ing the country aware of a danger . There is evi-dence t h a t the T ruman adminis t ra -tion was lax in handl ing the th rea t . A confidential memorandum to Sec-r e t a r y of S ta te Marshal l f r o m the subcommit tee of the Senate Ap-propr ia t ions Commit tee , dated June

10, 1947, said, "i t becomes neces-sa ry due to the g rav i ty of the s i tuat ion to call your a t tent ion to a condition tha t developed and still flourishes in the S ta te Depar tmen t under the adminis t ra t ion of Dean Acheson. It is evident t h a t there is a del iberate calculated p rog ram being carr ied out . . . . to protect Communis t personnel in h i g h places." But, Represen ta t ive Bar te l Jonkman (Republ ican) of Michigan had said jus t before the ad journ-ment of the 80th Congress t h a t he wanted the members to know

tha t the re is one depa r tmen t in which the known or reasonably suspected subversives, communis ts ,

have been swept out. "This is the S ta te D e p a r t m e n t . "

McCar thy likes to say, "We got

Hiss out , we got Marzani out , Wadleigh, George Shaw Wheeler

and a f e w others ." Actual ly, Hiss was convicted and sentenced before 1950, and he was revealed by Whi t -taker Chambers and the House Un-American Activit ies Commit tee ; Carl Marzani was uncovered by the S ta te Depa r tmen t ' s own in-ves t iga to rs a long with the FBI and fired in 1946, before McCar thy was even in the Sena te ; Henry Wad-leigh was identified by Chambers and l e f t the S ta te Depa r tmen t in 1946; George Shaw Wheeler was never in the S ta te Depar tmen t .

There is a question about Owen La t t imore whom McCarthy called "The top Soviet espionage agen t in the U.S." But William Reming-ton, ano the r "c la im" of McCar thy was b rough t to l ight 18 months be-fo re his Wheel ing speech, and Sena to r Homer Ferguson, a Re-publican, denied McCar thy 's con-t r ibut ion in the case. The Sena tor will point to names like Perver i l Meigs, H a n s Landsberg , E d w a r d Posniak, Will iam T. Stone, Mary J a n e Keeney, E s t h e r Brunaue r and V. Lorwin. These have resigned or received adverse rul ings f r o m loy-a l ty boards. But the essential poin t is t h a t each case had been an-alyzed by Republican controlled commit tees dur ing 1947-48 when there was a lot of in te res t in secur i ty .

Recent ly he has begun aga in to r e f e r to John Pa ton Davies, J o h n C a r t e r Vincent and Philip Jessup . In the J e s s u p case a Fore ign Re-lat ions subcommit tee r e fused to approve his nominat ion to the U.N. , bu t r e fu t ed charges t h a t J e s s u p was a m e m b e r of six communis t

f r o n t o rgan iza t ions and said he a t worst had been only duped. And ironically, Davies, a f t e r pass ing e igh t loyalty board inves t iga t ions , is expected to be re ins ta ted by Dulles upon his r e tu rn f rom South America . Recent revelat ions on the ac tual number of subvers ives found (2,000 - 531 - 800) have boiled down to 11, seven of which were under

invest igat ion ear l ier . If the gov-e rnment is riddled with commun-is t s—they still haven ' t been found.

The Stevenson Story

When selecting a number of in-s tances where we can ge t a good ins ight into the Senator , the fiasco of a pre-election speech by Mc-

Car thy is one of the best . It was widely publicized as "The F a c t s :

Stevenson vs. Stevenson."

P res iden t Eisenhower took the unprecedented s tep of a t t e m p t i n g to dissociate himself in advance by

saying , "one of our f r eedoms is . . . f r eedom f r o m being damaged by fa lse cha rges . . . . If t he re be an enemy . . . . we have simple Amer -ican methods of ge t t i ng rid of them. We don' t have to des t roy the repu ta t ion of any innocent

man ." The speech received nat ion-wide television coverage, and was an ef for t to show the Democrat ic candida te had "given aid to the

Communis t cause ."

In the course of his speech the

Sena to r r e fe r red to "Alger , I mean Adlai ," a del iberate a t t e m p t to con-fuse the public in l inking the two men. However, in wha t he said, he was gui l ty of dis tor t ion, inac-curacies and exaggera t ion . He con-

s t an t ly r e f e r r ed to his "docu-mented" fac t s . But he took sen-tences out of context , o rganiza-tions out of the i r period, and actual ly confused William Garfield Cummings with f o r m e r At to rney General Homer Cummings . This

was all b rough t out in a pene t r a t -ing r e fu t a t i on quoted in the No-vember 4, 1952, issue of Chr is t ian Science Monitor. When the f a c t s a re put back into context the cha rges a re absurd .

William Benton 's Victory

Two years ago McCar thy filed a $2,000,000 libel and s lander suit aga ins t f o r m e r Sena to r Will iam B. Benton of Connecticut. The event was well publicized before tele-vision and radio microphones with a big press conference.

The suit had grown out of Benton 's charges , made under a specific waiving of congressional immuni ty , tha t McCar thy had lied under oath when he denied a l te r -ing a t ex t or j ugg l ing figures in some of his charges . Benton te rmed McCar thy unfit to sit in the Senate . He said McCar thy lacked "cha r -ac ter , ethical s t anda rds and in-t e g r i t y " in the Lus t ron deal . I t s t a t ed f u r t h e r the Sena to r had hoaxed the Senate in call ing Gen-eral of the A r m y George C. Mar-shall p a r t of a "conspi racy so im-

mense and black as to dwarf any such ven ture in the h i s to ry of m a n . "

This month a cer t i f icate was filed in d is t r ic t cour t ask ing t h a t the case be dismissed. Conspicuous by the i r absence were the TV and radio repor te r s . McCarthy said he dropped the sui t because his a t -to rneys couldn' t find anyone who would t e s t i f y he believed the charges , t he re fo re no d a m a g e was caused. The absurd i ty of th i s was b rough t out by a flood of t e l e g r a m s f r o m persons who said they would t e s t i f y a belief in the charges . Benton had the las t word a s he b r o u g h t home the point t h a t "if

mendacity and corruption, shame is brought on the whole American people."

A Cloak of Confusion

Looking at a record marked by Mutual Security Adminis t ra tor Re-publican Harold E. Stassen 's charge , a long with five top diplomats in a le t ter to the New York Times, of "undermining the work of the S ta te Depar tment , " and Senator Margare t Chase Smith 's "Declara-tion of Conscience," our conclusion is tha t regardless of an obnoxious personali ty the Senator lacks the quali ty of mind needed to lead the nation in a study of our problem. When asked how to dist inguish "be-tween a bona fide liberal . . . pro-gressive, and a Communis t?" , a subject worthy of considerable dis-cussion, he answered naively, "Oh, I think there is such a vas t dif-ference. My God, there 's no com-parison."

A fai lure to understand the depth of problems was reflected in the Bohlen dispute. Charles E. Bohlen, who had been prominent under the Democratic administrat ion, w a s nominated by Eisenhower to be Ambassador to Russia. A limited amount of objection came up in the Senate, when suddenly Mc-Carthy took up the cause. In one speech he implied t ha t Bohlen and Secretary of S ta te John Fos te r Dulles were liars. He lost the fight, but gained headlines and created the impression he w a s the leader of the opposition. He glibly tosses around words like "l iberal ," " l e f t wing," "communis t ," "one worlders," as if they were concrete definitions r a the r than highly con-fus ing catch-alls. As was recently noted, even McCarthy is a l i t t le to the " l e f t " of Louis XIV.

Both by his personal moral stan-dards and his intellectual inca-pacity, Senator McCarthy has dem-onstrated his unfitness to bear re-sponsibility for our defense against Communism.

Significance of Thinking

McCarthy Symbolizes

The role of McCarthy has cur-rently been disputed, and indica-tions are t ha t his g rea t influence has s tar ted to wane. But the t re-mendous danger remains in the sphere of thinking he represents .

The pr imary objective of this group is to emphasize a concept tha t all our world troubles are due to the fac t tha t there may be Communists in our government . With this concept a war in Indo-China comes as a shock to many Americans. Communism must be fought on many f ron t s—there is no single danger . Lenin once said, " A t the present , the millionaires of all countries are behaving . . . in such a manner as to deserve our hear t ies t thanks. They a re hunt ing down bolshevism. They a re 'over-doing' it and helping us." If he gloated then, he'd burst r ight out

laughing now. McCarthy has g r ea t hindsight in

criticizing Acheson and Marshall , but his voting record would not seem to indicate a g r ea t deal of international unders tanding. He voted aga ins t the Marshal l Plan, agains t the North At lant ic Pact , and agains t Point Four .

It is easy to see why observers view much of the popular fight on Communism as "an oppor tuni ty to brand, cripple and silence all who advocate g rea te r economic justice, g rea te r Christ ian shar ing in indus-t ry and g rea t e r f reedom f o r men to learn t ru th , think f o r them-selves, worship as they feel led by their inmost needs." It is in this area t ha t the danger lurks. A loyalty board member said, "Of course the fac t tha t a person be-lieves in racial equal i ty doesn't prove t ha t he's a Communist . . .

but you can't get away f rom the fac t racial equality is par t of the Communist line."

McCarthy has constantly ham-mered the question of what an in-nocent man has to f ea r . Laird Bell, Chairman of the Board of Trus tees of the Universi ty of Chi-cago came quite close when he described what it is like to per-form before the klieg l ights for

television, radio and the press. "In theory the legislative investiga-tion is a search for facts . In prac-tice it becomes a form of persecu-tion." Movies of the hear ings have been shown, and McCarthy is pic-tured asking a question, then turn-ing away to joke with the other counsel while the answer is being given.

These films have created a furor in Europe, and have hur t the Amer-ican cause more than any other single fac tor . McCarthy a t tacts the Army, and all of NATO and ANZUS become alarmed because their armies, too, are linked with ours through t reaty . A look at the United Sta tes Informat ion Service libraries in Europe shows what this f e a r psychology has done. The famed Gerard Schine-Roy Cohn tr ip was typical. In ten days they were to find mismanagement and waste, question possible security risks and inspect the books on the shelves. Within 12 hours a f t e r landing at Bonn they had some-thing to report . There were not "enough copies of the American Legion Magazine." Now only books by American authors a re allowed on the shelves and Europeans snicker at America 's boast of "free-dom."

But this th rea t is not only in foreign affairs , but in our domestic life as . well. Censorship has be-come almost an accepted process in America today. Recently a Houston English teacher lost his job because he read D. H. Lawrence to his classes. Reasoned the prin-cipal, "Lawrence . . . . is the vil-lest sort of l i te ra ture ," probably "pro-communist ." The Publishers Weekly, t rade journal of the in-dustry , listed two full columns of censored books in 1953, while only six accounts were listed in 1952.

Texas requires textbook authors to take loyalty oaths, and if the author is deceased, the publisher must swear he was politically clean. Wayne University speaker, Robert E. Lee, in noting these facts , added pointedly, "Whatever 'politically clean' means." In the first half of 1953, 14 s ta tes including Michigan, considered censorship. More of them would probably have passed if it hadn' t been for the Indiana

"fJobin Hood" incident. "Pa t r i o t s " remind us that a f t e r

all Frankl in and Jefferson were revolutionists, and as Lee points out, "There just might be another Communist Manifesto hidden some-where in the pages of P o o r Richard's Almanac." Maj . Gen. Wil-liam Dean re fu tes the whole con-cept of censorship when he said he "was armed agains t Commun-ism," because he "studied what it was all about ." "My fear , says Dean, "is tha t - they will take Engel ' s and Marx out of th(^ schools and l ibraries." Thus we

find the basis fo r s ta tements tha t England is not bothered by the mental i ty of McCarthy, but by the mental i ty of a population tha t a l l o w s McCarthy to call the punches.

Real danger to our nation is the f ac t McCarthy charges tha t the New York Times is " lef t is ts ," or Edward R. Murrow is par t of the "bleeding hear t le f t wing element" find a receptive audience. This aud-ience is becoming increasingly smaller as more and more of the f ac t s come out. We can now see tha t not only is the goal conformi-ty, but more specifically, conform-

ity to the authori ty they determine is valid fo r us. Apparent ly the latest reactions put t ing McCarthy on the defensive have s tar ted him on his way out of the scene. This remains to be seen.

This much is certain. Commun-ism is a threa t to America. We must do everything consistent with our ideals to fight it. Intensive efforts by regular organization and groups to fer re t it out of our in-s t i tut ions must be made. Already we have seen tha t real success, act-ual convictions, have been obtained through less-publicized groups, i.e. the FBI . We must not fight with Communist methods. As the Dean of the Harvard Law School pointed out, there is no such th ing as " F i f t h Amendment" proof of Com-munism. Rather than being an ob-struction it is "one of the grea t landmarks in man's s t ruggle to make himself civilized. Essential ly it means tha t the defendent is not required to become par t of the prosecution. If we bypass this fac t we are no better than our enemies. Both systems have their methods, bookburning is not one of democracy's. If we continue to fight fire with fire we are going to burn our fingers. Rather than a few of our people abandoning democracy for an alien philosophy, we shall all find ourselves in a s ta te where thought and action are judged by conformity.

If democracy has what it takes, if it is t ruly a workable system it will last. In closing let 's look at the wisdom of a man who knows first-hand what Communism it. The man who guided the mon-umental trial of the famed eleven Communists, and was almost driven to a mental breakdown in so doing -T.-Judge Learned Hand.

'Risk fo r risk, f o r myself I had ra ther take my chance tha t some t r i tors will escape detec-tion than spread abroad a spir i t of general suspicion and d is t rus t which accepts rumor and gossip in place of undis-mayed and unintimidated in-

quiry. I believe tha t the com-munity is a l ready in process of dissolution where each man be-gins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy; where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as re-ligious, is a mark of disaffec-tion; where denunciation, with-out specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes f ree -dom of dissent; where f a i t h in eventual supremacy of rea-son has become so timid t h a t we dare not enter our convic-tions in the open lists to win or lose."

Through our youth, an enter-prising comedian named E d g a r Bergen created and delivered his masterpiece, Charlie McCarthy. Now, along comes Joe McCarthy who has every a t t r ibu te of Char-lie, block-headed, imitator , imper-sonator, and curiously resounding of puppetry.

A look at the Senator 's youth il luminates his actions of today. McCarthy received early fame f o r doing chin-ups. This was quite a fea t , seeing he didn't have a chin. He went to a little RED school house, at least it was RED until he investigated the P.T.A. Joe had a pet dog named, Analine Moss, but he shot her for keeping com-pany with a Russian Wolfhound. Joe liked dogs. Talking of pets— Joe was always the teacher 's pet . This might be explained by the f ac t t ha t she couldn't afford a dog.

Joe finally gradua ted f rom the sixth grade. It was an easy day to remember as it was also his fifth wedding anniversary . It might be noted tha t while in school, he took grea t pleasure in ripping the wings off flys. Psychologically, this can be answered by the fac t tha t his mother was scared by a vulture.

More recently, Joe has given the whole world twenty four hours to get out.

The ti t le of " i sm" has been at-tached to his name. A look at his-tory reveals other " isms." Let me define:

SOCIALISM: You have two cows; and you give your neighbor one.

COMMUNISM: You h a v e two cows; the government takes both and gives you the milk.

FASCISM: You have two cows; the government takes both and sells you the milk.

NAZISM: You have two cows; the government takes both and shoots you.

NEW DEALISM: You have two cows; the government takes both, shoots one, milks the other and throws the milk away.

CAPITALISM: You have two cows; you sell one and buy a bull.

McCARTHYISM: You have two cows; you must prove they are horses. Before ending—a word of warn-

ing. Those of you taking Russian History the 5th hour on Tuesday and Thursday, beware—you too may be investigated.

I not only challenge, but INVITE Senator McCarthy to appear in this column in reply to the anony-mous au thor who wrote this col-umn . . . Anonymous author . . . ( tha t ' s me) Egads ! !

P.S. If a sl ightly balding man should ask you where to contact me, tell him I've been deported to the happy hunt ing grounds.

Baseball, Track Workou ts Begin Dutch Nine

Open Season

On April 7 With a second consecutive cham-

pionship in mind, the baseball team has begun workouts in p repara t ion

fo r the opener aga ins t Grand Rap-ids J . C., April 7. Several big holes

still have to be filled by the crop of promis ing f r e shmen and veter-ans of last year ' s victorious squad.

Willie Rink who won five and

lost three last year , heads one of the be t te r mound s taf fs assembled in recent years . Also r e tu rn ing is John Busman, who copped two de-cisions while losing one. Others out f o r the chucking corps include a t r io of f r e shmen , Jack Kempker , Bob Ver duin and Ken S tam, and Don York, a junior outfielder whose s t rong a rm Coach Russ De Vette is t ry ing to utilize more by con-ver t ing him into a hur le r .

Around the infield are ve te rans Don Lubbers a t first, Dick Ort-quist at second, and J i m Van Hoeven at th i rd . S t re tch W a g n e r and Ed Kellogg are g iv ing Lub-bers a fight a t the init ial sack, while Rick Gould and J a n Wagne r are a t t e m p t i n g to oust Ortquis t f r o m his position. Two rookies,

Carl DeVree and Lowell Heunick, are current ly ba t t l ing it out f o r the shor ts top spot vacated by the gradua t ion of all M.I.A.A. "Zeke" P ie rsma. At the hot corner Van Hoeven is experiencing plenty of competi t ion f r o m the h ighly re-garded Kalamazoo prep s t a r , Dick

DeFreese .

Behind the pla te Coach DeVette will have to choose among re turn-ing J e r r y E lenbaas and Tom H a r -ris, and f r e s h m a n Ron Boeve. York who caught most of l a s t season

can be called in to don the pads

if the need ar ises .

Out in the ou te r ga rden junior A1 Dykema, the only r egu la r to hit over .300 las t year , will prob-ably r e tu rn to his centerfield spot.

York is expected to be in l e f t and the o ther s t a r t e r will have to be picked f r o m candidates Dave Huff , Dick Huls, Ron Smith, Busman

and big Wagne r .

A home game with Wayne has been added to th i s year ' s schedule while the ser ies with the Western Michigan f r o s h has been dropped. The complete schedule is as fol-

In the two remaining games the Emersonian squad t r iumphed over the Seminary , 60-48, and the Ar-cadians, 48-31. Jesse King had 14 aga ins t Wes te rn and 15 in the Arkies a f fa i r to t ake honors f o r

secutively.

the Cosmopolitans, the F ra t e rna l society retained possession of the f r a t e r n a l basketbal l t rophy. The t rophy is given to the en t ry hav-ing the least amount of losses in both leagues. The victory also gave the F r a t e r s a tie for second

place with their vict ims.

The F r a t e r s clinched a share of the t i t le when they swamped the Knicks, 52-34. J im Ziegler led the

assau l t with 21 points as the champs broke up the losers ' a t -t empt s to stall the game . "Chuck" Pet tengil l was high f o r the Knick-erbockers with 13. In the Cosmo f r acas , Al Dykema set a season's high when he poured in 30 to lead

his team to the t i t le f o r the th i rd successive season. Keyser was high for the losers with 17, but he was closely followed by Kuyers with

16.

The Independents meanwhile fin-ished an unblemished season by downing the Emersonians , 56-38,

and the Arcadians , 62-34. Bill Boeskool was high in the Emmie contest with 20, while t e a m m a t e Kenny Van Wieren garnered 14. League individual scor ing leader . Jack Borr, was high f o r the losers with 16. Van Wieren (15) and Boeskool (13) aga in paced the i r team in the Arcadian rout. San Hof fman ' s 15 was high f o r the

cellar-dwellers.

Other games saw the Cosmos

pin a 58-33 defea t upon the hap-less Arkie aggrega t ion . Kuyers was in f r o n t f o r his t eam with 16, while Bob Schrier and Vern Hoff-man bagged 9 apiece f o r the van-quished. And the Emmies behind Borr ' s 25 point spree gained a 49-39 victory over the Knicks. Pe t ten-gill was again top man f o r the
