+ EMERALD EDITORIALS + A Third Party From the University of Minnesota comes word of a new movement looming large on the campus political horizon. It is the Apathy party. During the present period of political heat and tension at the UO, it might he well for us all to consider this movement. The Apathy party platform at Minneso ta declares first that “there will be no active student government organizations.” “This means,” an Apathy spokesman explains, ‘'the administration will officially run the the University, a job it has been doing on the sly anyway.” “There will be no money-raising projects, pins, medals, queen contests or founder's day,” according to the platform. To bring attention to their cause. Apathy advocates at Minnesota plan to throw their apathetic support behind some deserving cause such as a drive to restore the Holy Ro man empire to its rightful position in the family of nations. Such a drive would meet all Apathy requirements: it’s obscure; it's not likely to involve any work; and it won’t ac complish anything. Then to top it all off. the Apathy party would sponsor an Apathy week (10 days long.) During that time there would be no meetings, assemblies or classes. The principles of the Minnesota Apathy • party are certainly worthy of serious con sideration by each of us at Oregon. Here are a few additional suggestions that might be included on an Oregon Apathy party platform: For Duck Preview weekend, all high school seniors would be housed in downtown hotels. They would tour the campus in sealed glass topped busses. This way college students would be relieved of all contact with the high school students—they would not have to talk to them, smile at them, inform them, get them dates, or even clean up after them. All students who play no varsity sport could letter in Apathy ball. The game would be played with a 300 pound lead ball that could not be bounced, passed, kicked, hit or even rolled. Spectators would be banned from the athletic contests, and winners would be determined by the flip of a coin. An Apathetic honorary would accept to membership only those who performed no school service and belonged to no other campus honorary. It would have no meet ings, pins, sweaters, or grade requirements. And finally the Emerald editorial staff could write a single editorial to be run un changed every day of the year. This editorial would support God, motherhood, and the United States of America (under God). It would oppose Communism, OSC and the lousy coffee at the Student Union.—(D.L.) No Joke Judging by the number of students who actually show up at the Student Traffic court either to pay or argue about their campus parking tickets, people tend to take the court as a joke. There's been a lot of hassling over the court and its powers, especially last year when J. Kelly Farris challenged the court's legality. Farris put up a good fight, caused consider able concern, and lost the battle, lie did, however, bring about clarification in the form of a resolution passed by the state board of higher education. The board delegated to the president of the University the power to regulate park ing and levy fines. And it’s perfectly legal for the fine, if unpaid and unappealed, to be deducted from the student’s breakage fee, the state board said. The Farris case actually brought out nothing new. merely a restated, somewhat clarifier! version of the old setup. The state board delegates the power to regulate park ing to the president and faculty of the uni versity. The office of student affairs, acting as the faculty’s agent, receives its power directlv from the faculty. The power is in turn dele gated to the student traffic court. A student who receives a campus parking ticket may appeal from the traffic court to the office of student affairs, then to the facul ty itself in the form of the faculty discipline committee! of which students are members, invited to serve by the faculty). If he chooses not to appear before the student court or to pay his ticket in the office of student affairs, a fine of one dollar plus a 50 cent service charge is deducted from the student’s breakage fee. And now permission to hire a secretary for the court has been granted. The court will no longer be a clerical organiation, but solely a judicial one. Incidentally, room has been left in the ASUO constitution to enlarge the court or to add a second arm for the admini stration of an honor code, something that didn’t materialize. Thanks largely to the system set up by Carl \\ eber, last year’s court chairman, you have about as good a chance of dodging cam pus justice as you do with the city. Students with parking stickers are easily caught. Those without stickers are caught, but not so easily. The name of the regis tered owner has to be found from Salem. Then the Student directory is checked for similar names and addresses. It’s an effi cient cross check that misses few violators. It may be a joke—but.if you're the violator who chooses not to appear before the court —chances are the joke’s on vou. INTERPRETING THE NEWS Chou Convinces Half the World That He's a Peace-loving Guy By HAROLD K. MILKS of the Associated Press BANDUNG, Indonesia — Red China’s Chou En-Lai has con vinced leaders of more than half the world’s people that he is a great guy. He did it not so much by what he did or said at the Asian-Af rican Conference, as by what he refrained from doing and saying. This sober-faced, keen-mind ed Chinese leader was without doubt the No. I attraction at the meeting of 29 Asian-Afri can nations, far overshadow ing India's Prime Minister Nehru, the leader of an Asian neutralist bloc. When the conference ended, it was Chou who gathered up most of the prizes. He won them with out giving away a single thing in return. Even such staunch anti-Com munists as Ceylon’s Sir John Kotelawala, the Philippines’ Car los Romulo and Thailand’s Prince Wan were impressed by Chou’s “peace performance.” He accomplished his apparent purpose of convincing most Asian African leaders that Chinese Communism is not an aggres sive force outside its own coun try. He also strengthened and expanded the belief prevalent in especially neutralist areas of Asia that the United States and not Communist China is respon sible for tension and fears in this part of the world. Many delegations came here expecting the Chinese premier to repeat the table-thumping per formance he gave at the Genvea conference on Indochina. Instead they found a Chinese spokesman who seemed almost like another person. He neither blustered nor threatened. Peace was his byword and if critics of his ideas did not agree with them, he was willing to com promise. Western supporters won minor victories in the Bangdun skir mishes.. They eliminated the word "Co-existence” which has a pro-communist connotation in many places. They managed to work into a resolution on dis armament a demand for control of conventional as well as atomic and nuclear weapons. THE LOOKING GLASS Eden/ ’Glass Slipper Top Entertainment By Len Calvert Emerald Columniit Either Eugene in an entertain ment desert or else there in no much good entertainment at once that one just can’t get to it all. Thin was one of those weekends where everything happened. After attending the Vodvil show-, which wus much better than last year’s, we went down to ’’Uncle Ernie's" to catch the late show featuring the Lancers, popular male quartet. Seeing them again only eon firmed our opinion formed last fall. The tnen are terrlTle show men a* well ant good singer*. We particularly enjoyed their Imitation of the Four Aces. Also the bans nlnging *‘I)eep River." On top of this, two good movie' came to town during the week end. “East of JOden" is at the McDonald and "The Glass Slip per ’i.s on display at the May flower. Elia Kazan has taken John Steinbeck's book and made It into an unusual movie with a hard-hitting ending. Top per formances by all those concerned increased the value of the Cm emaScope production in Warner Color. Of prime interest in the film is new star James Dean, who displays fine acting ability tinged with Marlon Brando trademarks. Better looking than Brando, Dean is an explosive personality well suited to the role of “Cal" the rebellious and rejected son of Raymond Massey, his right eous father. One reason for the strong re semblance to Brando in many parts of the film could possibly be traced to Director Kazan who has directed Brando in "On the Waterfront" and “Streetcar Named Desire." Regardless of this, however. Dean leases a deep impression on the movie goer, particularly in scenes with Ills mother, with Julie Harris, his brother's girl, and the closing scene of the movie. Paul Osbom has skilfully adopted the book to the screen, handling the subject of prostitu tion very carefully and in good taste. Leonard Kosenman's mu sical direction also increases the effectiveness of the film. The picture has been well cast, with all of the actors being strong, leaving no weak points in in even the most minor charac ters. Julie Harris turns in her usual excellent performance, showing once more why she is considered one of Broadway's best young actresses. Raymond Massey is outstand ing as the righteous father who doesn't understand Cal. Massey is the epitome of sternness and goodness throughout the movie. Also good is John Devalos as Cal’s brother. Kii/jui Hum utilised many *.|wi rial camera techniques lo make "East *>f Eden” even more ef fective. The MTffn tlith bark and forth In rhythm to a «wlng In on** point, and many of the «rcn**« am presented at a lilted angle that Hilda a (treat deal. The eolor work la ulao some of the heat we have aeeti re cently. On the opposite <*n*l of the dramatic scale in "The Glass Slipper" starr I ex Leslie Caron and Michael Wilding. Where "Fast of Eden" la adult arid mature fare. "Glass Slipper" is fanciful and light, auttlng the tnste of both children and adults. Don** by the same people who produced the memorable "Llll,” the film features Mias Caron as a rebellious waif in the role of Cinderella. Even when covered with cindera and ashes. Moot Caron's charm cornea through, particularly aa expressed by h< r eyes. However, much of the acting glory in "Glaaa Slipper" Is stolen by Estelle Win wood as Mrs. To quet. the fairy godmother. The English actress is completely charming as the slightly "touched" old lady who makes Cinderella's dreams come true. Photographed in Kastman col or, “Glass Slipper" lacks th<* grace and lightness of "LIU." A more pretentious movie, "Glass Slipper," is entertaining and en joyable In its own way. Michael Wilding Is relaxing »* th«* Hrlace "who live* In the |»ta* c of the I>uke.'* He hoi a fairly Rood singing voice and rvr» danrot creditably In the ballet number*. Featured in the film Bre two ballets starring MiBH Caron. The first, net in a fanciful kitchen in the palace, is danced in sets straight from a Salvador Dali painting, completed with a clock. The second, danced in r moi e somber set, demonstrates the ex cellent control Miss Caron has over her body while dancing. The Ballet de Paris adds much to the picture. Also livening up the MOM movie is Klsa Lancaster, as the mean stepmother. Miss Lanches ter is one of Hollywood's best character actresses and this film is no exception. All in all, “The Glass Slipperr” is an enjoyable, light hearted two hours. And this is only part of the good entertainbenl to be found in Eugene this week. The Very Little Theater out Hllyard Street is doing “My Three Angels," of which we hear good reports. Currently in the arena theatre of the University Theatre is "Aithiir," which we hear via the grapevine is one ,,f the best shows yet of the current college season.
