Editor Opinions expressed in edituriuls are the collective responsibdity of the Board members Initials at the end of editorials are given fur the sole purpose of indicating the writer They do not

ISSUE EDITOR Awareness and Decision In its letter to the student body which appears intodays Review Student Council presents its finalstatement on the hotlydebated questions surrounding theVienna Festival The Review having already expressed its position on these questions sees little value in commenting further on Councils action While we favored endorsement ofunofficial attendance at the Festival we recognize the fact that there are strong campus sentiments supporting both sides of this issue What does concern us and should be of vital concern to all students is the emphasis which was placed on the role of Council leadership by persons of all persuasions in this controversy including the questions raised by Council members themselves Much of the debate in Council meetings reflected the members uncertainty as to the manner in which they could best provide effective leadership for the campus Consequently we feel the letter deservescommendation for it apparently reflects a realization that it is enough to lead the campus to awareness without driving it to de cision RB Saga Wage Increase With ever rising costs as commonly expected as April showers no one is too surprised to find that next year the board rates will be 20 higher The rise seems almost insignificant Nevertheless it is imnortant to Question whv the Board of Trustees decided to increase these particular fees Pladys Swigart manager of residences and dining halls claimed that the Trustees decision was precipitated by the recent request from Saga employees for a raise in wages She also pointed out that another important factor was the increased costs of utility rates especially water and sewer costs Her analysis is certainly well worth noting We hope that because the decision was precipitated by studentrequests for wage increases the new board rates are aguarantee that increases will be instituted next year MissSwigarts statement vaguely implies this is so But for some reason there has not yet been any definite confirmation of a higher wage scale nor has there been any indication of the amount of the extent of the increase Perhaps we are too optimistic in believing that these details should have been worked out before the Trustees approval of the increase We hope the delay in releasing these facts is not an indication that the student demands will not be met for surely the need exists Saga employees have worked hard to bring their grievances to the Dining Hall Committee and Saga They have worked carefully to insure better working conditions and a more equitable wage scale for future workers The increase in the board rate would seem to indicate that wage increases are forthcoming We anxiously await confirmation of these increases and hope that details will soon follow Stultified Seniors Shades of our dear dead cliquish high school days Come come women lets give ourselves or at least our seniors credit for a little of that good old Oberlinindividuality they have all been absorbing so eagerly for three years At last weeks OAWS meeting some women present expressed the fear that section house drawing for senior women would lead to cliques and superficial groups They felt that seniors traditionally uninterested in meeting new people would stultify to an even worse degree if they could do it in company with a group of their old friends If the Social Research Committee were to busy itself with a poll they would probably find that the majority of cliques are formed during freshman year and dissolve through scattered dorms and diverse interests with thebeginning of sophomore year never to be reformed They would also discover that the men seem capable of handling the section system without rampant hurt feelings orincompatible groups Let us fervently hope that our seniors have achieved enough maturity and sense of individuality to be unworthy of all these wellmeant fears for their wellbeing A w GOD AND MAN IN JUDAISM By LEO BAECK lafe

comments The American University of Beirut has for many years produced some of theprominent political leaders of the Arab world Consequently its student body has been dynamically politicallyconscions and often this vitality hasexceeded its limits to the point where student political organizations have been prohibited This year thecampus seethes with the one passion of Arab nationalism in frequentconxersations in the classroom and even in a huge boisterous demonstration To fully understand Arabnationalism it is essential that one appreciate the basic andcompelling desire of the Arabs to free themselves from Western domination After a sudden growth in the late 19th century the spirit of nationalism was checked at the end of World War I by theinstitution of British and French mandates The woundedambition of the Arab intellectual leaders led to a vigorousreaction to the West and therefollowed violent upheavals in Iraq 1921 and in Syria192526 Concentrating all their political energies upon freedom from repression the Arabsfinally secured this freedom after World War II Expensive Struggle However the long struggle had cost them the very basis of their nationalism for thereexisted no organized program to guide the Arabs once free from the West Many parties fought for leadership Each country had developed its own nationalinterests and approaches to unity from its experiences of the past 25 years The spirit of unity of 1919 had been exhausted and the the Arab world was now torn by internal struggle Then came the disastrous and humiliating defeat at the hands of an upstart Israel The shock caused a sudden and profound soulsearching by the Arabs Coups and the quick rise and full of numerous partiesreflected the political ferment The floundering spirit of nationalism needed a leader one who could unite all the Arabs Capable Figure In 1954 and more definitely in 1956 Egypts President Nasser emerged as the figure mostcapable He was respected for the force of his personality hiscourage and success in resisting the West and his implementation of basic reforms such as ridding Egypt of its old and corruptpoliticians curbing the power ofreligious fanatics like the Moslem Brotherhood and the power of feudal landlords and taking definite steps towards landredistribution Following the Czech arms deal of 1955 and his emergenceintact from the Suez Crisis of 1956 Nassers leadership becameundisputed The establishment of the United Arab Republic in 1958 at the request of the Syrians to avoid a Communist coup made him unquestionably the most important person in the Middle East and the chief Tom Firor spokesman for Arabnationalism Authoritarian Nasser first exercised hisleadership in authoritarian terms ie with primarily the political power in his hands The Arabs enthusiastically approved of his method for they were able to show the West a solid front preventing it from regaining a foothold in Arab countriesInternally such an authoritarian structure made possible the most efficient use of the meagreresources in these countries Although it is difficult for Americans to appreciate adictatorship one must understand that it is often justified inbeing the political system best able to cope with a country in which 85 percent of the population is illiterate and many are just a week away from starvation The advantage of quick action and the benefit of overall planning supersede the luxury ofdemocratic debate since the basic concern under these crucialcircumstances is not individual See ARAB NATIONALISM p 4 On the Local Screen DAN MILLER r Tuu a could fTues is another suburban styled venture featuring this time a fairly engaging triangle for a while Its original author was Max Shulman whose essential inventiveness

the mellower LeoMcCarcy is all right until theatmosphere of the authors prose creeps in taking the form of a pentagon invasion of our suburban dilemma The original triangle concerns a Madison Avenue
