Wardocting editor-in-chief Jerry Exbusiness managerEditor’s columnWhy a "jury of peers"?Senator Jenner spent two daysin Chicago. During this briefperiod he launched the largestCongresisonal attack upon a sin¬gle educational institution. It isworthwhile to recount the in¬cident.A large portion of the witnessesdeclined to answer Jenners’ ques¬tions despite any clear assurancesfrom the University of its policytowards non-cooperative w i t -nesses.To be sure the University ad¬ministration announced that itwould follow the example of Har¬vard and have a “jury of peers”judge those faculty members whowould choose to invoke the FifthAmendment in Congresisonalhearings.A check on the Harvard situa¬tion is found in the New YorkTimes of May 20. According to theaccount, the Harvard Corporationfound “three faculty members ...guilty of misconduct for invokingtheir Constitutional rights againstself-incrimination to avoid an¬swering questions of Congression¬al committees.”One of these faculty memberswas found guilty of “grave mis¬conduct” and put on probation forthree years for having been aCommunist a number of yearsago. Presumably the Corporationwould have fired him if he werepresently a Communist. This isseen to be the case by the Cor¬poration’s own statement that theprofessor was not suspended be¬cause the “grave misconduct tookplace in a very different climateof political opinion.If this be a jury of peers, UCwould mar its tradition of main¬taining academic integrity if itwould follow the equivocal Har¬vard attitude.In principle judgment by a juryRosenbergs ...< from page 1)the Atomic Energy Act argumentand partly because of “the inde- JAflVlfircent haste” with which Douglas’ • • •stay was vacated. Sharp read thesummation of the prosecutor inthe original trial, calling it “asskillfu.1 a piece of deceit as I’veever seen.” of peers seems quite innocuousespecially if these are the facultymembers’ professional colleagues.But, a question that must be an¬swered is why is there even a trialof a faculty member at all becausehe chooses not to answer a Con¬gressional probe of his personalviews.Actually little defensible basiscan be found for the “trial bypeers” of a faculty member be¬cause his beliefs differ from themost reactionary members of oursociety, namely, McCarthy, Jen¬ner, Velde, et al.What then could a “jury ofpeers” rightly ask of a facultymember who has declined to an¬swer a Congressional committee?A passage from the Report to theOverseers, 1951-52 by former Pres¬ident Conant of Harvard is rele¬vant:. . if the trustees or adminis¬trative officers of a universitywere to engage in any investiga¬tion of a professors’ activities as acitizen, the life of the universitywould be destroyed.”Conant’s forthright statementmeans that if we choose to upholdthe principles of academic free¬dom and not sanction the Congres¬sional probes we cannot eithersanction a similarly undemocraticprobe by trustees or even a “jury?ers.” Indian Vice-Pres. speaks at Mandelscores idea that there are differencesby Allen JangerKipling’s oft used saying about East and West was taken to task last week by SavepalliRadhakrishnan.

The gamble was thequestion of a silent movie act¬or with a foreign accent—Garbo—in the early days of soundmovies. In addition, the ade¬quacy of the-movie sound-trackas a medium of emotional ex¬pression was in question.All the films, including AnnaChristie may be classed as escapefilms for they avoid all allusion tothe depression which was over¬whelming the country. Desire,David Harum, and Bombshellwould be, in many respects, nobetter than the usual “escapemovie,” were they not the prod¬uct of their superior casts.Yet, if considered as escape en¬tertainment they are significantin that the proceeds of their orig¬inal success have done much toslow the artistic development ofthe-film-in-Hollywood. The mod¬ ern trite Hollywood film finds itsorigin in film such as these.

One may consider theprice of thirty cents a show quiteworthwhile. Dorothy Lane, harpsichordist, opened the summer concertseries at UC Monday night with a program of two Haydnsonatas, a Passacaille by Couperin, and Bach’s celebratedsoporific, the Goldberg variations.The performer occasionally had some technical troubles,which led to a certain amount of sloppiness in line and rythm,but her interpretation of theGoldberg variations was ex¬cellent. The phrasing of thevariations (e.g. No. TO) was per¬fectly natural, the tempi were con¬sistently just, and individual ex¬pressive devices were effectiveand never extreme. The entirework presented a very good im¬pression of the performer’s mu¬sicianship.The Haydn sonatas were dis¬tinguished by neither compositionnor performance. In addition,though they can certainly be per- porary works. There will beworks by August Klughardt,Eric De I smarter, Charles Le-farbvre.

Anexcerpt from the report, con¬tained in the text of Experi¬mental Social Psychology servesas a preface to the novel. Itstates: “a sort of 'social psy¬chology of hems’ has beenworked out, of which the ‘peck¬ing order’ may be cited as typ¬ical. Hen A may peck Hen Bthough the latter does not re¬taliate. B takes it out, however,on C, and C on D ... in somecases an individual may peckout of order.”Though Kennedy’s novel is in¬timately concerned with the fineyoung Negro boys, Bruce, B J,Henry, Snag, and Johnny; thehappenings of them in one singleday; and the "pecking order” es- ily. At the book’s conclusion Brucehas developed a sense of identity, subtly uses his dialogue to dis¬play the motivations and machi¬nations of each of the five. Thecharacterization of B J, how¬ever, is by far the best of anywithin the book.Kennedy’s ability to so realis-of being—fmd also'has won the t‘cf"y„<ifv?lop a character is hi»chief aid in presenting some oflove of Evelyn-a thing he had Jhe varou"aspects of theurbaniele“„yNegrothe morning of the fantastic day * , . .that the book narartes. aone as no otner wnter nas’ evenThe five youths, who have atmidday “formed into a realgang” named by B J “The War¬riors”—only after he has putthem through a successful se¬ries of trials ranging from theftto scaling the wall of a con¬demned building, ail haveunique personalities which re¬main consistent throughout thenovel and are developed in afine realistic fashion.
