fessor. expressed their views on ihe resolution and sponsors of the resolution. Abe Somer, senior class president, and Tom Harrison, NSA coordinator, told of the aims and motives behind the new policy.
Dr. Snyder summed up the entire feeling on the Senate, which was unanimous on the resolution (with the exception of Peter Lawreys. sophomore international relations student.)
‘In Name Only*
“A university which is unwilling to listen and consider any ideas or ihoughts of any man— no matter how unpopular they may he is a university in name cnly and not in fact,” he declared.
Dr. Saltman agreed with the basic motives behind ihe resolution but said that he accepted it only with a few qualifications.
“I am for this resolution 100 per cent hut I do not want to see it deteriorate into a speaking program with slobs, idiots and wierdos expounding on various ridiculous ideas.” he said.
Not a Crackpot
“The speaker should be some authority in his field, be ;t controversial or not, and not some crackpot who is speaking on some subject unknown to him,” he added.
Somer. the main spokesman j for the bill, said that it was his personal contention that the only way a person could synthesize his own values and appreciate them is to hear those values and ideas criticized and attacked.
“People who ate afraid of hearing their values and ideas criticized should he reminded that the first step taken by the Nazi government was the abolition of criticism by the press.
mainly concerned with the importance of style.
In presenting the “younger point of view.” Spender wrote an article asserting the new poets’ need of good constructive criticism.
“Too many,” he said, “have heen ridiculed, excessively admired and . . . now tolerated,” he said.
Spender’s first substantial book of poems appeared in London in 1930.
World Without Belief
“Even those critics who demurred at his Communist ideol-1 ogy could not deny his lyrical vehemence.’’ said one writer.
“The Destructive Element” was Spender's attempt at a critical analysis of the probable and I actual expedients of Henry j James. Yeats, Eliot, D. H. Law- ; rence, etc. w;hen they were con- I fronted by a world without be- i lief.
In “Forward from Liberalism,’’ he drafted his politico-poetic credo. His “Trial of a Judge,” (1938) is a verse tragedy on European misrule. It has j been heralded by England's Spectator as the “finest English poetic drama written since Otway's ‘Venice Preserved.’ ”
Mob Destruction
At 1he International Writers’ Congress held in Spain in 1937. Spender, along with poets from 28 other nations, asserted that ! the creation of literature today is inseparable from the struggle j in which the standards of culture must be kept from destruction by Fascism.
The mob. he observed, generally “destroys things not because they are given three stars in Baedeker but because they j svmbolize tyranny, injustice and j superstition.”

dean blamed on urbaniza-t believe, how-¡olving of this
problem is a governmental matter.
‘We can no more legislate the distribution of a given flow of economic goods and services than we can legislate that all couples have happy marriages, or that all people have good health.” he writes.
One question that will arise «hould the bill pass is that of financial sunport. Dr. Lockley says the “Funds used for the payment of various programs of consumer support must come from: 41 > taxes against business.
(2)	taxes against individuals or
(3)	the creation of new money by the federal government.”
Depressing Payments
Dean Lockley believes “such payments either depress business or contribute directly and rreatlv toward continued and increased inflation.”
“Taxes against business.’’ he explained, “add to the cost of doing business, and this militates against profit expectations, and discourages business expansion.”
If individuals were taxed, transfer payments would be created, according W Dr. Lockley. j
He reasonably states “The consumption possibilities of one family are decreased by the amount transferred to another family for its consumption.” Direct Inflation He also warns that if we support the federal aid program by the creation of new' money, we cau«e a direct inflation of our currency.
The dean compares the current situation to the early 1930’s when “we tried sincerely and consistently to cure a depression by the direct payment to consumers.” However, then “it was not until payrolls started with increased manufacturing activity that unemployment disappeared.”
Dr. Lockley says that present consideration of the bill is urgent, “because it tends to confirm as policy several steps which couid work against our long-run economic stability and against our long-run opportunities for employment.”

| The stage will become a Gre-cian temple composed of many .ft levels and extending over the •;if orchestra pit. The entire production has been conceived as close-,;|| ly as posible to the original stag-,, *	*1	ing.
“Greek drama was almost a religion,” said Bill White, light-I ing designer, when discussing the costumes, lighting and sets which have been planned to | compliment the stately and dig-| nified production.
Costume Design* i The sets and costumes have | been designed by John E. Blan-; kenship. The costumes will be ! highly stylized and made of draped material which will be dignified while allowing fre^ movement on the part of the ac^ tors.
The characters will not use classical masks because, in modern theater, the actors are much closer to the audience and their facial expressions are enough to carry the great emotion of the parts.
Women's Chorus
The chorus of Corinthian women will be dressed alike to add greater emphasis to Medea. They will have Grecian head pieces which will add authenticity to the production.
“Since the original play was done in an outdoor theater the lighting is implied by the time of day,” said White.
He is trying to recreate the same feeling of the classical form w'ith the action taking place within a 24-hour period.
White finds that the play has one technical difficulty which has not been solved yet. That is, in the last scene Medea takes her two dead children that she killed and flies into the sky in a chariot.

Spelling Error Forces New Election Race
A typographical error resulted in the disqualification of newly-elected Independent Men’s | Representative Tony Mendez as the Elections Board of Protest called for a re-election for the independent position yesterday.
Mendez, running opposite Alan Well, won the April election easily, but the Board ruled that Well, his name spelled ‘-Alle Nvvell” on the ballot, was put to a definite disadvantage and asked that the new election be held during the freshman elections this fall.
Senator Mike Donohew. chairman of the board, said that the typographical spelling error was reason enough to call for a new election since the Board received many petitions maintaining that the independents “did not know who ‘Alle Nwell' was.”
In other election business. Hugh Helm and Dave Gaon. runoff contenders for the sophomore class presidency, were relieved from fines for exceeding their budgets because there are no stipulations in the bylaws about election runoffs.
Board members who voted on both pieces of business, were Senator-at-Large Larry Lichty. • ASSC Vice President Mardythe O’Mara. AWS President Kathy Niemeyer, Elections’ Commissioner Juanita Sakajian and Donohew.
