Committee Plans Russian Movie The Russian film "Ballad of a Soldier" is scheduled to be the second film of the EC Foreign Film Series. The film will be pre- sented in uxis.tin Auditorium Wednesday, January 31 at 7 p.m. "Ballad of a Soldier" repre- sents what has been described as "the new wave" of Soviet cinematography. Time Maga- zine calls it a "vehemently original, beautiful, humorous, patriotic, sentimental journey through war-churned Russia Avoiding: the heavy doses of propaganda usually associated with Soviet films, the picture traces the course of a 19 year old soldier's brief furlough from the front during World War II. Its simple yet suspenseful and be- Hcwable theme earned it the grand rize in the San Francisco Film Festival of 1960. The Foreign Film Committee has sceduled a number of dif- ferent films which will run through the rest of the aca- demic year. They were highly gratified by the attendance at its first presentation, the Swedish movie "Seventh Seal Success of the series depends on student attendance.

A slow speaking liberal champion, Fred Rodell sems oblivious of comments directed to him by William Buckley, controversial, conservative debater and a hor at Thursday night's Sperry-Hutchinson spon- sored debate. Some 800 interested persons gathered for tre publicized debate. Large Crowd Gathers For Buckley-Rodell Debate William F. Buckley, Jr author and editor of the conservative "Na- tional Review and Professor Fred Rodell of the Yale University Law School fought it out with words Tlv rsday night, in Austin Audi- ioriuim in a debate on conservative and liberal policies and nod rats of view in the United States today. An audience of approximately 803 people from the campus. Greenville, and nearby towns gave undivided aind enthusiastic ap- plause as the sipirited, often witty, clasih of ideas between the two distinguished sipeakers proceeded. The debate, getting off to a late start because of the speakers' be- hind-schedule plane trip to Green- ville, covered more than two hours and continually informally after Moderator George Gardner, EC student, closed the meeting Economically, Professor Rodell said as he voiced the liberal point of view a way to tell a liberal from a conservative is by observ- ing "how he feels about govern- ment taxing wTealtth in order to do thing's for those not wealthy Those who oppose such things as social security, medical care for the arad. and Federal aid to schools, he said, do it to protect their own selfish interests. There are, he continued, a very few lib- eral rich men and a very few con- servative poor men. "The conserva- J tive he said, "feels 'Me first and the liberal feels 'You too Mr. Buckley rejected greed as a motive for conservatism and' em- phasized distrust of the monoli- thic state. The idea that the wel- fare of the poor can be increased depredations upon the rich he h ? v described as a "piece of political naivete Liberal economy feeds on a ser- ies of illusions, he declared as he attacked the "myth of the spon- taneously crealted dollar Netw York, he said by way of example, sends more money to Washington than it gets in return. Economic liberalism is based on fraud, he .maintained, for liberals do not dare to explain to the electorate what they are really up to; they do not tell the people that "even- ually they will have to pay for their own false teeth On the income tax, Rodell de- graded the principle of taxiing wealth for the benefit of the nos- wealthy. Buckley opposed the graduated income tax. Liberals and conservatives are differentiated by their support or non-support of civil liberties, Pro- fessor Rodell declared. Throughout the evening he emphasized his be- lief in the Bill of Rights as the bulwark of liberty, especially in freedom of speech and of the press. On the question of civil rights, Professor Rodell advocated deseg- regation and "treatment of all people equally so far as oppor- tunity is concerned Mr. Buckley expressed opposition to "instant in- tegration and to compelling in- rgration by force. He advocated a process of "social absorption Conservatives, Professor Rodell stated, are "not as far over as the John Birch Society ? yet Mr Buckley, indicating a distaste for the "aberrations" of Robert Welch, nevertheless declared that the time has not come to be too censorious of the Birchites. Professor Rodell declared he "has no use for them" but stated that he would be "the first to stand up and yell if they were denied freedom of speech The debate was staged as the second of" a series of lectures fi- nanced by the Sperry-Hutchinson Co. of New York and the Student Government Association.

Greeks, a minority group, controlling to yes-men who listen to the opinion of one person, another senate member or administrative staff, and commence to act on legislation without knowledge and further investigation of the subject. Criticisms as these lead to debatable questions is student government good or bad? Does it accomplish its goals? And exactly what are its goals? Generally, a student government on any campus sets for itself definite goals to attain. These goals vary accord- ing to the needs of the campus which the student govern- ment seines. Behind such ultimate goals, lie basic objectives. One of the foremost objectives of student government is to train college students for citizenship in a democratic society. Par- ticipation in student government activities allows students to express their ideas and criticisms democratically. A sense of duty and obligation, once inculcated in a stu- dent, through student government affairs, will remain with him long after the particular incidents for which he stood or strongly supported are hidden away with other memories of a college career. This sense of duty and obligation is more readily achieved through active and whole-hearted parti- cipation in the affairs of student government, rather than m government and civic courses required of the student. Theoretically student government is good! But, when is it bad . . . when we have nothing to worry about? Let those who will be interested in student government parti- cipate to their heart's desire . . . and if no one is interested let there be an ineffective student government and an apathetic student body. Perhaps the students at Columbia College in New York failed to realize its advantages when the student body voted to end student government on the Columbia campus " Seven- ty years of student government ended there on January 1, 1962. All efforts to keep the system alive proved futile against agitation which began last spring to abolish student government. The students' vote brought them the oppor- tunity to realize the role of student government by doing without it. Representative student government was voted out of existance: students did this themselves. Yet, some of the studente felt the administration was largely responsible for its death. They charged the administration with making it an ineffective body by rarely listening to the demands it made. Perhaps they were seeking to improve matters with their action . . . time will tell. All of these things warrant our attention with spring- elections soon to enfold the campus. Student leaders are available to increase the effectiveness of the student govern- ment; let s elect them to office 8 E State R Destiny Of Barnyard Ch Introduction?By George Gardner: It is doubtful that we shall ever learn which came first, the chicken or Khe egg ? but it is fairly safe to assert that all chickens come from the same egg (or that all chicken eggs come from the same chicken). However, at one state of their evolution a rather curious difference took place. Our omnis- cient observer, Barry Aipe, had learned from a barnyard newspa- per, The Neurotic Disturber, that the white chickens are all good, the black chickens, all bad, and the red chickens, well that hasn't been quite resolved yet. This presented a curious paradox to Barry Ape, because the white and black chick- ens occupied the same side of the barnyard, whereas the red chickens occupied the other. Technically, both the white and black chickens were committed to preserving their mutual territory, but the white chicks were highly suspected, in fact downright convinced, that the black chinks (the loyal minority) were a more dangerous threat to the barn yard (perhaps because they appeared to be growing in number) than the red chicks, who overly coveted the entire, chicken farm. This resulte in somewhat of a deformed society, and the adjust- ment thereto resulted in somewhat deformed chicks. It inspired Barry Ape, the earliest known relative on my family tree, to write a brief barnyard saga (a report to the Great Ape) which he has entitled By BARKY APE The White Knight of the Supple Spiae. Uncle Barry -ought to re- state a primary socidomical prin- ciple, that environment cause more damage to the individual than heredity. ? G.G.
