Page Two THE SALEMITE Friday, October 3i, 19( ff I think life Bureaucrat Has Explanation Event Of Unrest On Campus On Campiu Nov. S is far too important a thing even to talk seriously about it. Oscar Wilde Ann Arbor, Mich.—(I.P.)—“Don’t over-react to the demonstrators,’ says Michael Radock, University of Michigan vice president. “Violence and disruption don’t represent the college campus or this student generation,” he adds suggesting that alumni and the public keep campus ferment in perspective. This is not to say, he adds, that campuses are tranquil, but neither is the society from which college students come and into which they graduate. “Our restless campuses reflect a spirit of rebellion in a restless nation,” he declares. Radock noted that student con cerns are focused on “relevance,” “dialogue,” and “confrontation.” “We make a mistake if we lump together all forms of protest and all expressions of disagreement,” he added. “We must not confuse issues with tactics used in confrontation politics—the dress, language, and mannerisms designed to offend, upset, and antagonize.” He reported that more and more colleges and universities have em phasized that they cannot tolerate force and violence. Radock also said that the few campus revolu tionaries usually can be rendered, relatively ineffective; “If channels of communication are open. Pacific Repertory Company Americanizes Sartre By Barbara Homey The performance of Jean-Paul Sartre’s Huis Clos (No Exit) on October 23 by the Pacific Reper tory Company may have been en tertaining, but it was certainly not true Sartrian theater. In the first place, the American ized version of the play is an adaptation rather than a true trans lation. The male character’s name has been changed from Garcin to Ralph Bronson (an American from Atlanta), and certain of Sartre’s political references have been up dated and Americanized. These changes and certain other less noticeable ones in the diaglogue it self have had the unhappy effect of altering the whole tone of the play, making an insipid tragi- NEWS ROUNDUP Revaluation of West German Mark The West German mark has been revalued upwards by Chancellor Willy Brandt’s Social-Democratic-led coalition Government. The increase was higher than expected and is intended to reduce Germany’s trading surplus. New York Times Massive Strike Against General Electric A coalition of unions representing 147,(X30 General Electric workers began their strike against the nation’s fourth largest industrial corpora tion on Monday. Winston-Salem Journal Lebanese Government Compromises With Leftist Guerill^ls The Lebanese Government has decided at the highest level to compro mise with the Leftist guerilla commandos, who, aided by Arab militants, have invaded Southern Lebanon in the past week. The Government has decided to face any consequent Israeli reprisals rather than see Lebanon break up. Earlier, Lebanon’s president had appealed to Egyptian Presi dent Nasser to intercede to avert the full scale struggle which appeared imminent. New York Times U. S.-Soviet Armaments Negotiations A proposal by President Nixon to open negotiations with the Soviet Union on the limitation of strategic weapons has been accepted. The two powers have agreed to meet on November 17 in Helsinki, Finland. New York Times comedy out of one of the most powerful dramas of the twentieth century, and submerging Sartre’s philosophical thesis beneath a mass of heavy-handed humor. The actress who played Inez did an excellent job, considering the limitations of the script. She was the most truly Sartrian character of the three, and helped to create a dramatic tension between the other characters which helped carry the play along. Estelle was fairly good, too, although not quite as con vincing m her role as the seduct ress. The young man who played Ralph Bronson was a better than average actor, but sounded as though he would have felt more at home in Gone With the Wind than a twentieth century French drama. It would have been interesting if Sartre had been there to view this presentation of his drama, be just as well. “If legitimate complaints are recognized and sincere efforts are made to deal with them, “If nonstudent agitators are iso lated, “If the campus community is kept informed, and “If the Establishment avoids over reacting.” It is clear that if universities wish to govern themselves, they face the fact that there are boundaries be yond which conduct becomes un acceptable, he said. Radock warned that if universities are unwilling to deal with these types of problems, “the power to do so will be lodged elsewhere.” This would spell the end of free universities as we know them.” The United States is not unique in having experienced various forms of dissent and disorder involving young people, Radock pointed out. Other countries of the world, under varying forms of government, have had similar experiences. Most students are not taking a negative approach in expressing their differences with the way things are, he said. Most students are too busy studying, or they are pursuing other means of making right what they find wrong. A great number of students are helping in positive ways to improve community health services, or pro vide legal assistance to indigents through legal-aid clinics. Others are working with senior citizens and campaigning for political candi dates, he said. “This is not to say,” Radock added, "that a student who is tutor ing a ghetto child one day may not be found at a sit-in demonstration the next day.” Universities must be receptive to change, he declared. They must recognize that the status quo is not sacrosanct. They must create an atmosphere and establish pro cedures by which worthwhile changes can take place in an or derly way, and the free environ ment can be maintained. Concert by RRhard 11:00 Hanes Aud.

(Tl papers are usually picked up am distributed by 4 o’clock, Fridf afternoon). At first I felt this migli be a form of “protest” to the so called “propagandistic” Stleaiii staff; however on second thought! realized that it was just anothei case of a feeling that is more prevalent on this that of indifference. campus- What’s Going On J, B.C Mid-SemMter Friday, November 14 is mid semester day.
