would be drawn up accordingly. Faculty

The idea is hardly appealing to anyone concerned.

'Antigone' To Be Shown
By RALPH CHERRY
Kernel Drama Critic
The Student Center Board will present Sophocles' "Antigone"
at 6:30 and 8:30 Wednesday night in the Student Center Theater.
If you have ever wondered why so many of the Greek Tragedies
have been dubbed "immortal," try to see this movie version. You
might learn something.

1

I

The story of Antigone, the loyal woman executed for honoring
her battle-slaibrother against the king's wishes, is a little hard to
approach unskeptically. You wonder what its "messa ge" can do
for you here in 1966, and the first reel shows pretty clearly that
Sophocles wasn't thinking of movie cameras when he wrote his
n

play.
Your skepticism dies, however, as you become more involved
with the morality of the king's second thoughts. Should a king put
a woman to death simply because she demonstrates love for hei
brother? More importantly, should any man place partiotism above
philial love? Moral pacifism or "patriotism"?
The recurring timeliness of these questions makes "Antigone"
certainly a picture worth seeing. If you can ov erlook the few imperfections of the film itself, you will be asking them to yourself
as you walk out, just as audiences have through the ages.

Letters To The Editor

Reader Is Puzzled By Greeks
Editor of the Kernel:
Until the weekend of Friday,
September 9, 1966, I had always
been under the apparently erroneous
impression that the social fraternities and sororities had chosen
their respective Greek names because they associated their ideals
with the traditional historical role
of ancient Greece, that of a highly
developed, intellectually and aesthetically inclined culture. This
past Friday afternoon I was rudely
shocked out of my naivete when
one of the
Greek organizations began broadcasting rock
and roll over a loud speaker, so
loudly that it could be heard within
a four block radius. On Saturday
afternoon, Saturday evening and
now Sunday
afternoon
other
"Greeks" imitated their peers (as
monkeys, prepubescents, and primitives will do) by forcing their
auditory garbage on the ears of an
entire neighborhood.
It is the most puzzling to me
why a group of college students,
whose present lives are theoretically
dedicated to erudition and scholarly
pursuits, select this primitive form
of entertainment. Do these young
ladies and gentlemen completely
divorce themselves from the knowledge that they have obtained in
their humainities classes Monday

through Friday, and over the weekend respond to the most primitive
expressions of the rhythmic and
melodic drive in mankind?
I am not suggesting

that fun
and entertainment are in any way
contrary to the aspirations of an
assiduous scholar. What I am suggesting is that these "Greeks" are
mentally bankrupt in their ignorance of the facts that Igor
Stravinsky's "Le Sacre du
provides more intoxicating
rhythmic stimulation than any of
their inefficacious rock and roll
ever did and that the first bar
of Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde"
contains more eros than the sum
total of all their neighborhood
broadcasts. (I do not think it is
Prin-temp-

s"

If President Johnson were not
such a complicated individual, he
would probably find his relations
with the country's intellectual community warmer and easier. And they
would probably be warmer and
easier if his youthful and stimulating predecessor had not left behind a legend or is it a myth?
to which many intellectuals find it
easier to wed themselves than to
the Texan dynamism now in the
White House.
So to say is neither to denigrate
Lyndon Johnson nor to dishonor
the late John Kennedy. We are
merely stating facts, as we see them.
And we are prompted so to express
ourselves by reports in the New
York Times and the Washington
Post that Mr. Johnson is about to
lose the services of Eric Goldman,
a Princeton professor, whom he
brought to the White House as

The impression that this could

is unfair. His record of achievement
outmatches that of his predecessorno matter whether or not
one agrees with the impressive
list of measures associated with the
first three years of the Johnson

issue which has earned him some of
the intellectual community's harshest strictures we feel that Mr.

commitment to which he rightly
remains loyal.

The details of voting and elections are left to the General
Assembly under the new constitution. The present constitution,
on the other hand, contains detailed provisions relative to
voting, absentee ballots, registration of voters and even the hours
the polls will be open.
In fact, the 1891 document is
so restrictive regarding elections
that it had to be amended to
permit absentee voting and the
use of voting machines.
Although significant changes
are made in the suffrage and
elections sections of the new
charter, parts of the document
contain few, if any, changes.
For example, all 26 sections
of the Bill of Rights in the present
constitution are retained in the
revision. In addition, three new
basic liberties are added to the
Bill of Rights.

Federal Rewards Seen
For Integrated Schools
-

In the
WASHINGTON
highest reaches of the Department of Health, Education and
Welfare (HEW), planners have
secretly put together an education bill for 1967 that would be
certain to whip the white backlash to a frenzy.
The bill recommended by a
policy planning task forcequietly
at work the past several months
would make a radical departure
in government policy by supplying extra federal funds to school

districts which achieve an integrated racial balance in the
schools. Put another way, school
districts which do not achieve
that balance would be penalized.
This would escalate the federal government's attack on de
jure (legal) segregation in the
south to an assualt on de facto
(neighborhood)
segregation in
the north. In fact, the task force
recommends for the first time
that the Johnson administration
actively promote such politically
explosive integration devices as
school "bussing" and pupil exchanges between the white suburbs and the black inner city.
Whether the White House will
finally put its stamp of approval
on this combustible package and
send it to Congress next year is
a matter of considerable doubt.
Nevertheless, the fact that federal
officials who have the mosttodo
with education would seriously
consider such a plan is a matter
of major interest.
For quite apart from adding

bill. It calls for the "equal education opportunity act of 1967"
to provide extra funds for school
districts willing to take steps
to achiev e racial balances.
Specifically, Howe's planners
talk of encouraging district-wid- e
rezoning, site selection designed
to produce integrated schools,
school bussing, pupil exchanges

between the suburbs and the
inner city, and even new kinds
of curriculum designed to aid
racial integraton. The task force
recommends that these integration grants start at $175 million
in the next fiscal year and climb
to $375 million four years later.
Even more interesting is a confidential suggestion by the task
force that school grants be made
