PHILIP CALLS FOR ATLANTIC BRIDGE'
Redevelopment of a bridge of understanding and cooperation across the Atlantic to form a closer link between the destinies of France and the United States was urged here yesterday by Andre Philip, former French minister of finance.
Philip, who describes himself as an old friend of French President De Gaul although he is now in opposition to many of his countryman's activities, said an “Atlantic Association” was needed “to make a compromise. to build something new. something different.” He told the near-capacity crowd at the all-univer-sity convocation in Bovard Auditorium that the two nations would have to come to agreement to control American capital investments in Europe.
“You speak of a free market and we speak of an organized market,” Philip said. “We do not want to go back to a free market.”
The French economist explained that between 1920 and 1929 France operated under free market conditions. He said his country did not want to repeat the severe depression that hit in 1929.
Philip, a professor of economics at the University of Lyons before entering French politics, said France was willing to accept United States leadership in international affairs, but explained that Frenchmen did not want to be overwhelmed by American efforts.
He claimed Europe was dependent on American atomic production explaining that Europeans should concentrate on building up a traditional armed forces
pean Sherman Anti-Trust Act.” He explained that the market prohibited cartels and monopoly agreements except when special permission is given and rules are set down by the EEC.
The Frenchman turned, pointed and sometimes raised his voice to emphasize his points, often bringing appreciative laughter from his audience with his Gallic observations of international situations.
But it was a mistake that brought the greatest laugh.
“We would like to have Great Britain in the French—I mean the European Community.” Philip said.
He noted, however, that the member nations were not willing to “renegotiate” the EEC rules to fit England.
“We have been setting up the rules over the years and we are not going to renegotiate the rules to fit each newcomer,” he maintained.
Philip said the French followed the Descartes School and “what we accept in principle we accept down to the last consequences.”
He maintained that the British follow the Locke School and empiricism, “which means what they accept in principle they don't accept at all.”
Philip said he agreed with De Gaulle when he stopped negotiations with Great Britain, but disagreed with the manner in which he did it. He explained that De Gaulle had not consulted with the French government nor the other members of the Common Market.
and hope that United States will arrive quickly in case of attack.
The former minister noted, however, that De Gaulle felt help may not come immediately. He said the French president was building a French bomb to
be in a better bargaining position for getting a European atomic force.
Philip characterized the Common Market, which he insisted should be called by its official name, the European Economic Community (EEC), as a “Euro-

The “Image off Man” is not merely a description, but also includes a direction, existentialist Maurice Friedman explained during a discussion of “Psychotherapy and the Image of Man,” Thursday in the Commons Lounge.
. Appearing as part of a program of guest lecturers in theology, Dr. Friedman explained the image of man must include what man is and what man ought to be as opposed to a mere ideal.
Dr. Friedman related psychotherapy with the image of man while pointing out “it is not possible to get a complete ly objective or subjective view of man.”
There is no such thing as a school of psychotherapy, only competing schools, Dr. Friedman said. He held the only way the schools differ is in their views of the image of
Although Freud would more than likely disagree with his views, Dr. Friedman claimed the psychotherapist is concern-e~d not only with medicine and the patient as an object of science, but also with the patient as a person in a personal relationship.
Motivation and freedom are major problems, Dr. Friedman continued. He said the underlying causes of man’s motivations are very different from what they appear to be on the ■surface-
Although the unmasking of man’s motives appears to be very important, it must not be assumed that this is an indication of the unconscious as reality and the conscious as non-reality, he added.

Tickets are still available at the drama office, 3709 S- Hoover St., for the show tonight and subsequent performances on March 23, 28. 29 and 30.
Big Problem
White said the greatest problem in the production, directed by Dr. Herbert Stahl, head of the drama department, was arrangement of the sets. Each of the four acts in the Wilder farce requires a different set. and he explained that Bovard Auditorium is not designed for] such elaborate productions.
Sets will be switched by a stage crew of 20 persons, he said, and quoted set designer John Blankenchip. associate professor of drama,
paring the sets, he said actual 19th century wallpaper was copied, stenciled and reproduced on backdrops with paint.
The drama lecturer said another problem was satisfying a part of the script that called for a trap door.
“At first we scratched our range of Wilder’s characters, heads and concluded it was im- he said. Swoosie Kurtz, 19, is possible,” he recalled. “What playing a 60-year-old woman we finally did was build it in-and “the audience will swear to the orchestra pit.” ¡she’s been on Serutan for

rest of the cast had a hard time rehearsing the comedy without an audience present, White pointed out. Tonight will be first time they will have to pause for audience reaction.
