The same groups, the same actrvi­ties, often the same faces appear in every issue, year after year.

Only about the {at football player who trippedover his own shoelace on the five-yard line in the championship game, orabout the neighborhood tavern-keeper who was caught watering the stockis there ever a hint of controversy.The yearbook, frankly, is different, as this campus is different. Auniversity-any university-is alive, and often kicking. This one moreso. This book recognizes that there are fundamental differences betweenKimpton and Hutchins, between Democrats and Republicans, betweenLS.L. and S.R.P., etc. Thanks to an enlightened policy on the extra­curriculum, it does not hesitate to discuss them.4 Michael J. F. RogersAlso, this yearbook attempls to pin-point, highlight the outstandingevents of 1954-55-those events which distinguish this year from all theothers. In most annuals one may determine the year by measuring thereceded hair-line of his favorite professor, or noting the edition of his$8.75 required-reading textbook which the University press just pub­lished.Great events occurred on this campus this year. Some of them-suchas the opening of the A.B.A. Bar Center or the appointment of the firstpermanent F.T.S. Dean-are milestones in the development of the Uni­versity. Others-such as a Chancellor's chance remark, or a good-byeparty for an ex-Editor of Cap and Gown-will be trotted-out in futureyears (like the family photograph album) laughed-at, discussed, thentucked away again.Cap and Gown is the family photograph album of the University ofChicago. It is a memory--of names, faces, events. But the Editors feelthat it should serve more than this memorial function of traditional year­books.Cap and Gown, they feel, has an obligation to scrutinize where standsthe University, what events preceded its present position, what may be ex­pected to follow from it.One current runs through everydiscussion of the University: thechanges wrought by the Kimpton Ad­ministration. Often this discussion ismarked by short-temper, epithets,myopia. This current is the theme ofthe 1955 Cap and Gown. As inFrench law courts, it will be discussedwithout malice, without hatred, with­out fear.The discussion may be followedthrough a special introductory sec­tion viewing the overall aspects of thechange in the extra-curriculum, andthrough the various other articles onthe administration, curriculum, andextra-curriculum. It is too early todetermine the accuracy of the prophe­cies and predictions, though, ofcourse, there will be caustic commentfrom some segments of the campus.In discussing controversy, contro­versy can hardly be avoided.This, then, was 1954-55:PAUL A.

Proponents of the affirmative may point to aresurgence of fraternities to campus leadership,attempts to restore football, even the appearanceof Bermuda shorts on male limbs.

These past few yearshave witnessed a trend toward a more dynamic extra­curriculum-one in which the student feels a morepositive identification with his University.The steps have been slow:1) Autumn, 1951. Dean Strozier fired the Editorof the Maroon. This move, harbinger of good or ill-so often the stepping-stone for discussion, dissen­tion in campus political circles-was the first signthat the University Administration showed concernabout the orientation of campus activity, was pre­pared to step-in, act if the situation, in their opinion,got out-of-hand.2) Autumn, 1952. Cap and Gown was re-organ­ized. The campus yearbook, a traditional feature ofany university, was an activity which Chicago espe­cially lacked. Fraternity men, Owl and SerpentEven Illinois' Lieut. Governor Chapman re­marked, "The girls are getting cuter, too"-a re­mark echoed by many of U. of C. male.members, and the University Administration combined to start the 46thCap and Gown on its way.3) Winter, 1953. Irate students, angered by the basketball team's45 game losing streak, organized a pep rally, torchlight parade, filledthe Field House stands, urged their team to victory. This was the firstindication that students-al least a large enough hloc of them-felt letdown by a failure to achieve athletic victory, felt hurt by the jibes castat them, the University.10• Equal baggage are the golf bags of onenew arrival in B.·J. The day is eviden­tally passing when the B.-J. male liftednothing heavier than a piece of FrenchToast.4) Spring, 195�. Irate students, angered thistime by the change in the College Curriculum, stageda protest rally, sit-down strike, stormed the Chan­cellor's House. In many respects this was the Uni­versity of Chicago's version of the panty- raid, aSpringtime spree to let-off-steam before comps.5) Autumn, 195.3. A group of students-withthe more than tacit approval of the Chancellor, Deanof Students, Alumni, Athletic Offices-attempted torestore football to the campus athletic picture. Theirfailure was not due to lack of interest (which wasconsiderable) but to the fact that they tried (withoutadequate, experienced leadership) to go too far toofast.6) Autumn, 1953. In an effort to support the Sometimes, however, eating habits must [(0 unchanged: there's onlyone method of controlling a run-away hot-dog as Ron Ilvedson dem­onstrates to a group of Green girls.basketball team-the only spectator sport at Chicago-students organized the pep club, Concert Band toarouse student spectator support, spur the team tovictory.That is the changing extra-curricular picture upto this year. What has come these past nine monthshas been the emergence of a more dynamic extra-cur­riculum in which the other elements of campus lifehave found their place, but to which some re-orienta­tion-as in the case of Student Union-was required.Orientation v.,r eek saw the first signs. The enteringstudent by-and-large looked like that "All-American"type which Chancellor Kimpton wanted at his Uni­versity. They stepped-up to participate in campusactivity. Stepped-up with such enthusiasm that evenChicago's athletic prowess continued to grow, too. Stellar team was that of track, stellar per­former was Frank Loomos shown here taking an early lead in the hurdles races,11One outstanding event wholly new to thecampus was the Festival of the Arts, aweek-end bonanza which found bizarre stu­dents pushing the Beaux-Arts Ball, thelargest dance of the season.the most "rah-rah" of students were worried that theyhad pushed too far. After watching a week whichsaw at least a half. dozen wilder-than-normal partiesevery night, some began to wonder whether the cam­pus had skipped that Ivy League spirit they desired,plunged rather into the raucous oomph of the Big Ten.Their fears were not founded, however. As soonas the students, new and old, were once again caught­up in the maze of studies, classes, books, extra-cur-12 ricular activities resumed their normal picture. Butthe normal picture in 1955 was different. If the stu­dents lacked the time to remake the campus, they atleast gave support to those who were pushing it theirway.The Student Government elections in Octobershowed (perhaps once-and-for-all) that S.R.P. hadfailed to grasp the essential feelings of students onthis campus. One observer has remarked that "Thereis a permanent majority for LS.L. on this campus,"An ominous sign was football practice in Stagg Field-but in this instance it was only practicekicking for the touch-intra-mural contests.but an examination of the Autumn elections- -almost the only instancewhere the student body en bloc expressed its desires-shows the elementsof the changing campus.Never had the left-wing political party been dealt such defeat. S.R.P.took only three seats (two by default). Once again they had raised theold issues-primarily Ll.Si-Soviet student exchange-but this time failedto catch fire. The campus wasn't interested in remaking the world, theywere interested in what Student Government could do for them here andnow. S.R.P. was about seven years too late-the student body voted itsapproval of LS.L.'s "wire-age" book exchange. More significant was thefact that S.R.P. candidates did not reflect the new campus. The same sordidleft-wing Bohemian types were trotted-out, went down this time to defeatwhile a clean-cut slate of LS.L. candidates eased to victory. For the firstThe apparel was changing, too.

Never, accordingto old-timers, was so much attention paid by the cam­pus to the activities of the fraternities and clubs. 1.F.Ball, 1. C. Ball, rushing were the focal points of manyweeks' discussion, and while expectations were not al­ways reached, 1954-5.5 marked the first year of thereturn of fraternities and clubs to the life-blood of thecampus. Their aloofness was gone, the Greeks plungedinto campus activity with a vengeance. No longerscorned, overlooked, forgotten, alert, competent leader­ship in the fraternities and clubs grabbed-off theirshare of the activities pie. The organizations them­selves were no longer willing to cast out a competentleader merely because he was a member of a frater­nity.One important organization on campus was forcedto undergo drastic re-orientation to meet this changingThe many, varied, competing events still held anattraction for the newer type of student as thebulletin boards displayed the notices of a differ­ent party, movie, meeting.14, t., ._ "c_...Even the Commons-despite S.G. protests-received a different look.

Alone of the old organizations possessing any degree ofsecurity without changing was the Maroon.Where does this lead?Where will it stop?The question is as impossible to answer as: When did it begin?

Thecampus has not yet acquired that striped-tie, OxfordGrey look of the Ivy League, toward which it is sorapidly moving.

Forthe first time L.A.K. seemed to have a University tohis liking. All his efforts have been directed towardthree major problems, which, at initial encounter,were adequately expedited:1.

The ceremony will consist of a day ofhard work, for the Dean's Office is a wheel whose spokes reach all acrossthe University. The Dean of Students' Office is ordinate over: the Deans ofStudents in the College, Divisions, Professional Schools, University College,Adviser to Foreign Students, Adviser to Veterans, Classroom Assignments,Time Schedule, Weekly Calendar, Official Publications. Dissertation Secre­tary, Fellowships and Scholarships, Mandel Hall Reservations, Director ofStudent Activities, Auditor of Student Organizations, Test Administration.In addition, Dean Strozier is Secretary of the Faculty and Associate Pro­fessor of Romance Languages.Or perhaps July 1, 1955 will find Dean Strozier off on another promo­tional tour. Within the past two years he has visited high schools in everysection of the U. S., from Seattle, Wash. to Miami, Fla. in attempts toattract new students."I don't know how I've stood it," l\'I.D.D.S. sighed. But he reflected amoment, thought of the changes which occurred while he was Dean-andsaid with a wry grin: "But I like it."23Housing a myriad of administrative agencies withwhich the student comes in contact are the Admis­sions' Office, the Registrar's Office, the Bursar's Office.The Admissions' Office and its Director, ValerieC. Wickhem, the student first meets. Here his appli­cation is checked, his entrance examination scruti­nized, until at last the "O.K." is given: the studentmay enter the University.The average entrant first meets the Registrar'sOffice in a strange setting: Bartlett Gym. Thereto, atthe opening of the Autumn Quarter, moves the officeto accommodate the mass of students preparing pro­grams. In more normal times, however, the Regis­trar has his office in its customary location: Adminis­tration Building 103. Here William E. Scott stands24 Admissions,Registrar,BursarValerie Wickhem heads Office of Admissions, de­termines whether applicant is qualified to enter,undertake work at the University.Bursar Cotten handles University financial trans­actions, presides over modern, bank-like officefamiliar to all students.guard over the many records of the student's career.Across the hall is the Bursar's Office, a modernbank-like room, characterized by long lines of stu­dents, employees queueing to transact their financialbusiness with the University. A combination bank,currency exchange, loan agency, the Office (presidedover by Bursar Albert E.

Into his office came the newly­appointed Ivy Leagueish Director of Housing Arthur Kiendl. (In aneconomy move, Kiendl retained his Housing post.) In a few days DirectorKiendl found his bearings-the activities of the Activities' Office wererolling again. Students found the new Director a sympathetic, unconnivingadviser on their organizational problems, with a new conception: a unifiedprogram of student activities, the beginnings of which only vaguely seenthis year.Kiendl, Rossi told Dean Strozier that he put the only two Republi­cans on campus in the same office.

Thomas Mulroy is this year's President but the day­to-day grind is directed by Executive Secretary Howard W. Mort.The A. A. stages two annual get-togethers for alumni: the Open House inFebruary (attended by 1,100) and the June Reunion (attended by 5,000).At the sessions of the latter, the A. A. presents its Citations for UsefulCitizens, Medal for Distinction to distinguished alumni, also (with the Deanof Students) presents medals to students for participation in extra-curricularactivities.At the June Reunion, A. A. announces the Annual Gift (last year $400,-378.38) of its co-ordinate group, the Alumni Foundation.Two magazines-the monthly University of Chicago Magazine, the bi­monthly Tower Topics-are published by the Association, edited by U. ofc., Wall Street Journal alumnae, Felicia Anthonelli.28CurriculumDean Streeter inherited the same title, but different institution from F. Cham­pion Ward, former Dean now in India with the Ford Foundation.The CollegeIn 1954, the University of Chicago program en­tered a new era, the era of "Undergraduate Educa­tion." The "College" became a term which couldbe used only inside quotation marks. Its own fac­ulty continued to use it, students retain it from forceof habit, but the University Administration elimi­nated, replaced it.(It is of some significance to note that whenKimpton was Vice-President, he returned a letterreceived from a new subordinate. He had underlinedthe word "undergraduate" and marked in the mar­gin: "We don't use that word!")The change is more than semantic; it is part ofa University-wide re-orientation in its own program. The "College" was an independent entity, the com­promise brainchild of Robert Maynard Hutchins,Mortimer Adler, Stringfellow Barr, etc., the contro­versial core of the University of Chicago's programof Liberal Education.It was a radical, refreshing change among Ameri­can institutions: The impersonal voice of a series ofplacement tests determined the graduation require­ments of the individual student; class attendance forthird and fourth-year students was non-compulsory;class sessions consisted of informal discussions withthe instructor acting as a guide, a stimulus, withstudents expressing their interpretations of the day'sreading; a comprehensive examination at the end of29John R. Davey, Dean of Students in College,head College Advisors, checks students' progress,programs.Cobb Hall, oldest University building, by ancient,erroneous student tradition was named for U. ofC.'s first janitor.30 the year, covering all material and work, alone determinedthe student's grade; the staff itself consisted of teachers, freefrom research responsibilities or obligations of grading.Now have come new programs, integrating College, Divi­sions. Dean Streeter described these programs: "Studentsentering the University from now on will, in addition toreceiving a substantial and integrated general education inthe College, have an opportunity to include within theirundergraduate course study in History, or Geology, orBotany, or Economics, or other special fields." He explainedthat the degree was merely "relocated."But the new programs came with a suddenness, were sucha stark contrast to the old, that many students, faculty,alumni were frightened, wondered: "Are these new programsmerely the first step in emaciating the College?"That answer is not yet known, nor will it be readily. Forit is part of the larger, yea, all- important question: "Quovadis, Collegium?"To this question there can be no immediate answer, forthe basic issues which brought the change were not primarilyeducational; they were psychological, economic.College Faculty members gather with students ata Matthews House party to converse, celebrate.There were many within the University community-thisis no secret-that hated Hutchins. When he left, they sawtheir chance: In a fury of spite, they wanted to destroy whathe had built, raze it to the ground, sow salt on its soil so thatit would never rise again. Whether these forces are nowsatiated is unknown, but it can be seen that much of theAlumni interest is in the extra-curriculum, football, frater­nities and Blackfriars in particular.But these elements were a minority, unable to accomplishtheir tasks had not they powerful allies within the Univer­sity Administration. These keepers of the books, constantlyre-ordering red ink, looked with dismay on the figures offalling enrollment, were constantly searching a magnet toattract more students. A change of program was decidedupon, but, strangely, little of the program itself was changed.In the city that was the College, the city limits were expandedto take in a few suburbs, a few streets given different names,and, in some instances, even a few buildings demolished."A rose by any other name," Shakespeare said-or in localterms: "Calling Hyde Park 'Evanston' does not make itsUniversity Northwestern."The University Administrators had read enough Machia­velli ("He who desires or attempts to reform the government31David Reisman, College Professor, sociologist graced Time cover last fall, wonLuce's favorable review.of a state and wishes to have it accepted and capable ofmaintaining itself to the satisfaction of everybody, must atleast retain the semblance of the old forms; so that it mayseem to the people that there has been no change in theinstitutions, even though they are entirely different from theold ones.") to know that if they wished to alter the substanceof the College program, they would have retained the forms.What they wanted was the substance of the College with­out the forms. That is the reason for "undergraduates,""freshmen," "specialized studies."This, then, is the present position of the "undergraduate32programs." The "College" faculty controls slightlyover one-half the curriculum, Divisional faculties theremainder. But this situation cannot remain static,for the educational philosophy of the "College" isdirectly opposed to that of some Divisions. Eitherthese Divisions, using the pretext that the "College"is giving students "inadequate" preparation, willmake further encroachments upon the "College" pro- gram, or the "College" faculty will re-assert its inde­pendence, demand full control of the undergraduatecurriculum.Thus, the issue boils down to a power conflict be­tween the Divisions and the "College." At stake inthis battle is the University of Chicago's philosophyof education.Reuel Denney, popular poet and sociologist, took his class onto the green lastSpring when weather warmed.Maynard Kreuger, one-time Socialist candidate for Veep, chats with freshmenB.·J. porch during O.·Week.Bi. �I·i.

He started with a modern pig (14 dig­its), produced a sport (44 digits), another race (19digits )-all supporting an evolutionary hypothesisthat inbreeding in freaks may produce enough de­scendant freaks to constitute a new, normal species.Wright's activities have not ended with his retirement,however: at the University of Wisconsin he will con­tinue his research, writing, some teaching.ANTON J.

I dream of a day when our leaders will ac­tually put the principles of science and democracyto work in our land, in politics, in industry, in trade,in education; when understanding will more thanhold its own against superstition, guile and greed;when force and violence are replaced by conference,compromise and approximate justice in all our do­mestic and foreign policies ...

Last autumn-five days shy the12th anniversary of the world's first self-sustainingchain-reaction which he directed-cancer claimedEnrico Fermi.During his brief (53 year) lifetime, Enrico Fermiachieved honors equalled by none in his field: theNobel Prize for Physics in 1938, the U. S. Medalfor Merit in 1945, the first of a series of special$25,000.00 citations (subsequently retitled the Fermi38 Award) from the Atomic Energy Commission just afew days before his death.He achieved honors enough to turn the head of anyman, yet he remained the same mild-mannered scien­tist with a duty to his work, a love of family, a zestfor life. His story is the traditional immigrant's tale-an adventure unique to America. For him theUnited States lifted high the torch, and he, in return,gave it much for which the nation will be gratefuleternally. This, then, is that story:Enrico Fermi was born, the son of a railway offi­cial, in Rome, in 1901. As a schoolboy he read vo-Mrs. Fermi wrote a best-selling biography of herhusband this year, Atoms in the Family.Author, scientist work physics prohlems together.Laura Fermi admits that she was poor student.raciously on mathematics, experimental physics, sothat at 17 he received a scholarship to the Universityof Pisa. Graduate studies took him to Goettingen(where he was a pupil of Max Born), to Leyden andRome. In 1924 he was appointed to the Universityof Florence faculty.Within a year he made his first major discovery:an extension of Max Planck's quantrum theory.

Soon he perfected anotherimportant theory, this time on the emission of betarays.Picking-up at the tail-end of Frederic Joliot-Curie'sresearch in 1934, he started his first major work inexperimental physics: bombardment with radioactivebullets. Using the neutrons discovered by JamesChadwick only two years before (instead of Joliot'scharged alpha particles), Fermi first split the atom.He didn't realize what he'd done (neither did OUoHahn and Fritz Strassman who repeated the experi­ment in 19.38), hut German physicist Lise Meitnerfigured it out and the road was opened to constructionuf the atomic bomb.I),re..r"r Allison examines IIP\\ apparatus in LN.S.

For these studieshe was awarded the Nobel Prize. He chose the excur­sion to Stockholm as an opportunity to flee Musso­lini's Italy. The Fermis arrived in the U. S. early in1939. His temporary lectureship at Columbia Uni­versity was transformed into a permanent professor­ship.During this pre-war period, Fermi, other scientistsbecame convinced of the possibilities of atomic explo­"ion. These scientists prevailed upon Albert Einsteinto write his famous letter to President Roosevelt:"Some recent work by E. Fermi and L. Szilard,which has been communicated to me in manuscript,leads me to believe that the element uranium may beturned into a new and important source of energy inthe immediate future .... This new phenomenonwould also lead to the construction of bombs, and itis conceivable-though much less certain-that ex­tremely powerful bombs of a new type may thus beconstructed. "When war erupted, engulfed the U. S., Fermi,though officially an enemy alien, was placed at thehead of a top-secret, top-priority project at the Uni-Entice Fermi was a popular instructor. At Columbia,however, students delighted in leaving his mistakesin English grammar uncorrected.versity of Chicago's concealingly-named Institute forthe Study of Metals.Beneath the Stagg Field stands, he and his cohortslabored, building a strange doorknob-shaped spher­oid of granite blocks and uranium. On December 2,1942-less than a year after Pearl Harbor-successcame: the first self-sustaining chain-reaction was areality. Arthur Holly Compton telephoned JamesConant in Washington and announced:"The Italian Navigator has reached the NewWorld.""And how did he find the natives?""Very friendly."Later Fermi went to Los Alamos, New Mexicowhere he, scientists from all over the world workedunder J. Robert Oppenheimer building the threeatomic bombs set-off at Alamogordo, Hiroshima,Nagasaki.When the war ended, he returned to Chicago wherethe Los Alamos scientists convinced Chancellor Hut­chins to help create the three famed Research Insti­tutes. Always an indefatigable gadgeteer, Fermi wasgiven a cyclotron to play with, later a syncro-cyclo­tron-the first such instruments to be located in theheart of a big city.The Fermis settled in Hyde Park, became a well­liked family in the community. One day Cyril Smithsaid to Mrs. Fermi, nee Laura Capon: "You shouldwrite your husband's biography." She replied: "He's the man I cook for and wash shirts for. How can Itake him that seriously?"Yet the book was written and it (Atoms in theFamily, University of Chicago Press 1954) provedto be a warm, intimate story of the scientist's life.Someone congratulated Fermi on being apotheotizedwhile he was still living; after all, it was explained,Mme. Curie was dead before her biography was writ­ten. "You misunderstand," Fermi replied. "Aboutme Laura could never write an apotheosis, she couldonly write a de-potheosis."Yet the book was barely in the stalls before itssubject was dead. Feeling ill, Fermi entered BillingsHospital last fall for a check-up. An exploratoryoperation was decided upon, but when the doctorssaw the extent of his abdominal cancer, all they coulddo was sew him up again. The end came two monthslater.Praise for the humble physicist came from allover the world: Lewis Strauss-" As much as anyother individual, he is responsible for the achieve­ment of the controlled release of atomic energy."Samuel K. Allison-"There is no doubt among thosewho knew him well that Enrico Fermi was one of themost brilliant intellects of our century." HerbertAnderson-"What he learned he felt he should en­rich. Having enriched what he learned he felt heshould teach it to others. Thus he prepared the fer­tile ground out of which arose the new solutions and41new ideas which kept his subject bright, fresh andexciting." Emilio Serge-"The universality of hisinterests and the power of his genius . . . initiatedmany a line of thought which was to be pursued bya whole generation-and the mine is not yet fullyexplored."A. W. Kramer suggested, several publicationsechoed, establishment of a permanent memorial toFermi at the Museum of Science and Industry-theworld's first nuclear reactor, master-minded by Fermi.Enrico Fermi's death created a void in the Divi­sion of Physical Science not easily filled. But thework of the Division went on. In 1954-55 it was a proton tore into the packet and struck a proton, anni­hilating both particles.Schein's announcement at the American PhysicalSociety meeting in Seattle last Summer created achain-reaction III scientific circles, caused theCzechoslovak-born physicist's name to be plasteredacross front-pages across the nation.

The Humanities Divi­sion in general, the Department of Philosophy inparticular was the storm-center of the University, abattleground on which the Neo-Positivist armies ofMead and Dewey clashed with the invading Neo­Aristotilian, Neo-Thomist force of Hutchins andAdler. Eventually, the Nee-Positivists won, keepingNeo-Aristotilian Richard P_ McKeon as a hostage.When Neo-Kantian Kimpton came upon the scene,he wisely decided to keep hands-off this volatile mass.So the Department has continued its quiet way,filling the ledger with modern poetry, records ofancient civilizations, strange languages and chroni­cles of the world's literature.Dean Wilt himself was encouraged by three un­related events of the past year: increased and highercaliber enrollment, the success of the linguistic insti­tute, honors received by faculty.1. INCREASED AND HIGHER CALIBER ENROLLMENT.Humanities enrollment is up, almost one-fourth abovelast year. The Dean noted that the general caliberof the students "is the best we've had since the groupthat came in after the World War." (This was aqualification of, "the best we've ever had."He cited the comments of visitors to the Univer­sity who said that "the large number of new andvery good students is better here than anywhere else."2. THE SUCCESS OF THE LINGUISTIC INSTITUTE.The eight week summer program of the first annualLinguistic Institute featured the theme: Linguisticsand Philosophy. The highlight of the Institute, spon­sored jointly by the Division of Humanities and theDivision of Social Sciences for the University ofChicago and the Linguistic Society of America, werecourses using the U.S. Army's "oral-aural" methodof teaching languages.Next summer's session, superintended by the Ger­manics Department's George Metcalf, will concen­trate on study of Far-Eastern languages.3.

His appointment in January, 1954 was asurprise to many who knew him as an outspokenadvocate of the Hutchins Plan. His promotion wasa surprise, also, but signified no policy changes.In October, 1954 British-educated geographerChauncey D. Harris was appointed Acting-Dean.Harris, a Russian expert, stated that he would con­tinue Crodzins-instituted projects, make no majorpolicy changes.

Disliked: shiftingof funds from general to specific projects. Warned:"Freedom and high standards are endangered by ashift of financial support from general Universityfunds to restricted 'project' funds and the Universitytends too much toward making its new enterprisesinto permanent commitments."One important change unnoted by the committeewas the reversal of educational policy in the Educa­tion Department. Early in the year Francis S. Chase,Department Chairman, announced two new programs:half-tuition remittance for those students contractedfor elementary or high-school teaching positions;a one-year, seminar-type course to prepare teachers.These moves were not only a step to supplementDepartmental enrollment, offset the nation's seriousHistory Chairman Walter Johnson told in book,lectures How We Drafted Adlai Stevenson.teacher shortage; they were part of the Departmentof Education's re-orientation in its own philosophy.Previously content to teach teachers of teachers thephilosophy of teaching, it now teaches teachers.As usual with the Division, the big news in1954-55 was made by the faculty:HERMAN FINER, of Political Science, took to thevideo waves in an educational sideshow, teachingChicago's first credit course over television. "Govern­ments and Human Nature," appearing weekly onWNBQ's "Live and Learn" Sunday mornings, wasa pale, condensed version of Finer's regular quad­rangle course, Political Science 200 A.-B.-C.WALTER JOHNSON, of History, in his AutumnQuarter Walgreen Lectures, subsequent book toldHow We Drafted Adlai Stevenson.

In 1951 the Political ScienceAssociation voted him "Number One Senator in theU.S." Last Autumn, Number One was up for re-elec­tion. Douglas waged his campaign on economicissues, was chastized "a prophet of doom and gloom."Political Scientist Herman Finer took to thevideo waves in Chicago's first credit T.V. course,exclaimed "You've got to hold your audiencelike Dagmar."51But election night found the gloom gone as Douglasrode to an easy victory over Republican retail­lobbyist Joe Meek.Two other U.S. faculty members hitched theirwagons to the reform star, vied for local office.SHERIFF.

Its courses, similar to thoseon campus, are taught by regular University faculty.Students may-often do-transfer freely from oneprogram to another. Now prospective students in thedowntown program are offered the added induce­ment of modern, air-conditioned classrooms in theshadow of the Palmolive Beacon.54 Business SchoolBeneath the Palmolive Buildingstands the new Downtown Branchof the Business School, duringthe day the Education and Train­ing Department of InternationalHarvester Corporation.In trammg the auditors, accountants, executivesof the future, the School of Business frequently re­lies on those actively engaged in business adminis­tration, achieving a healthy blend of academics,practicalities.One such notable effort-the Annual ManagementConference, sponsored jointly by the Business Schooland its co-ordinate Executive Program-was held inthe Conrad Hilton Hotel at an all-day meet last April.The morning session featured Harvard EconomistSumner Slicter, the Gillette Company's JosephSprang, while the main speaker at luncheon waspublisher, public administrator Gardner Cowles.Capping the day's program were five panel dis­cussions: "Planning and building an organization,""Capital sources and uses," "Human behavior andindustry," "Selling and the social scientist," "Profit­ably expanding the small business."The guiding light of these new ventures is young(38 years) Dean 10hn 1euck (rhymes with a NewYorker's pronunciation of jerk) who succeeded Gar­field Cox in 1952.

Jeuck has resigned hispost effective next fall for reasons undisclosed. Coxis heading the committee to determine his successor.During his stay, Jeuck aimed at striking a "bal­ance between the values of analysis and the neces­sity for decisiveness and action." Says he: Thereare two extreme possibilities of the type of studentproduct the Business School can produce: graduatesmarked by an offensive degree of naive self-confi­dence; graduates given to over-intellectualizing, in­capable of decision.1euck rejected both types, aimed at the median.In this aspect he fell right in step with ChancellorKimpson's "middle-way in education" program beingestablished at Chicago. The move of the downtownbranch of the Business School is symbolic of theeffort being made to take this field of educationout of the morass of academics into the realm ofreal-life. Resigning Business School Dean is John Jeuck who is leaving forHarvard in the Fall.Entrance to building shows modern decor.

A revolving door was es­tablished for the various Deans to enter, depart.First to go was Bernard Loomer, Dean of bothF.T.S., Divinity. For the record he "resigned," butin actuality he was forced out by faculty who dislikedhis liberal theology (e.g., including courses in psy­choanalysis), politics (e.g., pleading for clemencyfor the atom spies Rosenberg).In his stead came Acting Dean Seward Hiltner,who was replaced in the autumn by: William N.Hawley, Divinity; Emery T.

Since he became Dean, Levi, hasmade a concerted effort to raise the academic stand­ing of his school several notches to the very top.His first major action in this direction, a raidingprogram-attracting Professors such as Soia Ments­chikoff (the first woman Law Professor at Chicago) ;her husband Karl N.

LawSchool is the series of research projects conducted under the school's aus­pices, financed by the Ford Foundation-such as the Jury Study which isexamining the various factors which determine how a jury arrives at itsverdict. This, too, has heaped acclaim, laurels on the school.Now, with the headquarters of America's largest legal association (secondlargest: the National Lawyer's Guild headed by University of Chicago LawProfessor Malcolm Sharp) just a few footsteps away, prospective law stu­dents will find an added attraction in the University of Chicago's LawSchool.62Graduate Library SchoolThe youngest (27 years), smallest (44 students)Division of the University teaches, in the words ofits Dean, Lester Asheim, "library theory, librarypractice, library education." In short, a libraryschool. One which Asheim immodestly admits "hasdone more than any other single school to emphasize_ the professional rather than the technical aspects oflibrarianship and to establish librarianship as anacademic discipline of professional nature." Founded with $1,000,000.00 of the Carnegie Cor­poration's cash, the Graduate Library School wasdesigned to be a symbol for the library profession-as Harvard to Law, Hopkins to Medicine. Duringthe 1930's when Chancellor Hutchins was busilyattempting to redefine the educational program of anation, G.L.S. fell into line, announced its "experi­mental core curriculum program"-the nearest ap­proach to a philosophy of librarianship.Snow covers Harper Library approaches. Plansare made to create new, larger library to over­come overcrowded Harper conditions.First to offer a Ph.D. in librarianship (an ex­ample now followed by Columbia, Michigan, Illi­nois), G.L.S. rose rapidly to the top. Its graduatesnow hold influential positions far out of proportionto their numbers in other schools, public, researchand university libraries. Among its professionalaccomplishments, the School publishes The LibraryQuarterly, The University of Chicago Studies inLibrary Sciences.One of three divisions without an undergraduateprogram (the others: F.T.S., S.S.A.), G.L.S., largelybecause of its small size, can continue to chart itsindependent course with an outlook "fresh and un­fettered.

(Independent Students League), top-dog in10 of 11 Student Government and N.S.A. elections,entered the 1954 N .S.A. race just a little bit cocky,so that a slate of S.R.P.'s so-called "independents"knocked the wind out of their sails. The parties splitevenly on the National Delegation, S.R.P. took 8 of10 on the Regional.I.S.L. began the long, hard task of rebuilding:A new look was injected into the party when AlbertFortier was elected President; the campaign for fallbegan in July when Emil Johnson, Howard Turner,Joli Lasker, Jan Metros made the preparations; bythe time the N .S.A. Congress ended, they were joinedby Fortier, Clice Gray, others.Through the summer, through O·Week, in everymeeting, in every class, I.S.L.'ers rebuilt theirbridges. S.R.P. was caught flat- footed as I.S.L. sweptto victory in the S.G. elections, 42·3 (two of S.R.P.'ssuccessful winning by default).Maroon Editor Allen Janger summed the situation:"Explaining his party's inability to get enough peopleon the ballot, [an S.R.P. leader] said, "We werecaught flat-footed. We thought we had another week."I.S.L., in contrast, not only knew when the petitiondeadline was but had been campaigning from themiddle of August. When the Student Activities Hand­book went out to new students, Clive Gray's picturewas on the inside front cover. During OrientationWeek I.S.L. people like Al Fortier, Joli Lasker, andEmil Johnson were everywhere. The untiring CliveGray must have met everybody in the entering classat least once.

Executive Council at its Tuesday meeting. The Councilcomposed of all Standing Committee Chairman and S.C. Officersmeets previous to S.C. Assembly sessions, determines the agenda,recommends emergency measures. I.S.L. Majority Leader Eli Stein addressed the Assembly. Stein wasreplaced during the year by Ministerial Student Clark Kucheman,who authored the controversial Kucheman Plan to bring Iron Cur­tain refugees to the U. of C.60for U.S.-U.S.S.R. student exchange. But their pleasfell on deaf ears, and I.S.L.-in time for the N .S.A.elections-countered the Soviet exchange proposalswith a plan of their own: the Kucheman Plan.The Kucheman Plan, drafted by I.S.L. MajorityLeader Clark Kucheman, passed by the Assembly ona straight party vote, will bring two escapees froman Iron Curtain country to study at the U. of C. eachyear. Tuition will be paid by the University, livingexpenses raised by the Government from groupssuch as Crusade for Freedom.Thus the battleground was laid for the N.S.A.elections in April: exchange with Communists orwith anti-Communists. The campus record of theI.S.L. Government was completely unchallenged inthe election: 1) extension of the Student ServiceCenter to include a proof press to run off studentorganizations' publicity, 2) the Frankfurt-Chicagostudent exchange, maintained as it had for the pastthree years, 3) establishment of the Divisional Orien­tation Committee, designed to assign graduate stu­dents their proper place in the University Commu­nity, 4) drafting of a Fair Educational Practices Billwhich State Senator Marshall Korshak is introducingin the State Legislature.But the Government's-and I.S.L.'s-greatest ac­complishment came before the first session met inOctober. This was the elimination by Phi Delta Thetafraternity of its selective clause. The eliminationproved the wisdom of I.S.L.'s "one more change"policy on the Michigan Plan, and with the threat ofexpulsion removed from a fraternity, the fraternityvote, support returned almost unanimously to I.S.L.The Election Issue: I.S.L.'s "Wire Cage" in the Reynolds Club Base­ment.

When dinnerwas served, the guests numbered 14, including threerepresentatives of the University Administration, twoformer officers of S.U. who had severed their connec­tions. The remainder represented almost the wholeworking force of U. of c.'s leading sponsor of social,cultural, recreational activities. S. U., indeed, tra­veled far.The need for a well-co-ordinated social programhad become increasingly evident with the post-warenrollment increase. In December, 1947, severalsocial groups united around a new nucleus, known asthe Social Committee of the University of Chicago,and organized S.U. This newly-formed body receivedstudent support, its ranks swelling, its events, suc­cessful. S.U.'s growth continued: in 1948, accordingto Association of College Union's survey, it presentedthe third largest recreational program in the nation.70 Dale Levy, last S.U. President, sips Wassail at S.U.'s Annual Was­sail Party in Ida Noyes Library.Student Activities CouncilBy 1952, however, enrollment dropped; the natureof the student body changed. Although students weremore socially minded, S. U. activity declined alarm­ingly. The Union perforce revised its organizationalstructure, attempting to regain campus support: areasof responsibility were more clearly defined, a five­man Executive Board established to co-ordinate com­mittee functions. But decline continued: one eventafter another failed, students displayed no interest inserving the Union. As personnel became more scarce,events became less successful. The vicious circlespun, moving at a furious pace.This difficulty in recruiting workers extended by1954 to the higher echelons: positions on the Execu­tive Board fell open, replacements lacking, experi­ence totally absent. The top leadership were leadersin name only: they displayed no conception of stu­dent social activity, no competence to expedite aprogram. All attempts at co-ordination failed. Fi­nally came the Dinner-the last hope.Confronted with the fact that the total workingforce numbered a dozen, S.U.

The basic weakness lay in S.U.'sinability to reach the students at a "grass-roots" level.This, Director Arthur Kiendl suggested, was a prob­lem not adequately solved-now or never-withinexisting framework. What was required, he believed,was the elimination of the parallelism, grown overthe years, between S. U. and many small campus71organizations, to be replaced with a co-ordination ofstudent activities-now non-existent-in a singlemonolithic organization.Kiendl induced Miss Levy to push for dissolutionof the Union, which came March 1. In a Macchia­vellian-move, S. U. was replaced within minutes bya specially selected board, called the Student Activi­ties Council. This five-man board supplanted StudentUnion, which had sponsored 3,000 events, attractedparticipants and audiences of ] 80,000 in seven years.The S_A_C. Executive Board (at present, the wholeorganizations) consists of the Presidents of Inter­Fraternity, Dormitory, Club and B-l Councils, aswell as a representative of Married Students' Asso­ciation. Grandiose plans called for the creation ofa "Commuters' Council," "Graduate Students' Coun­cil," each with a representative on the board. StudentGovernment angered at being left out, declaring itselfthe only representative, all-campus organization, de-72 manded, received two-representatives on the com­mittee.Kiendl's plan had backfired. He had especiallywanted to keep the "politicians" out of S.A.C., with­out realizing that the post-war history of studentorganizations has been provided by the "politicians."Within minutes, the politicians had moved-in, as­sumed the leadership. "Politician" George Stonewas elected chairman.Kiendl, the other members of the re-evaluationcommittee had been prepared to- help set S.A.C. onits feet. But five minutes after the first S.A.C. meet­ing was called to order, a crowd had gathered out­side the Reynolds Club Fishbowl where the Boardsat, then wended into Kiendl's office to voice theirprotests. Kiendl was overwhelmed: he had thrownthe students a new bone of contention, and wonderedhow clean they would pick it.Joan Raphael samples the punch as PresidentLevy serves.

SU's a-Week picnic was, as always, one of the high pointsof a-Week. In spite of the already chilly autumn wind, Hutchinson Courtwas filled with entering students who roasted hot-dogs, munched on apples,and heard a song-recital by Kappa Alpha Psi. A week later, the Unionsponsored the Chancellor's Reception and Dance, which was flooded withold and new students delightedly turning out for the first campus event thatgave the girls a chance to wear "dressy" clothes, in addition to the chanceto shake the Chancellor's hand for what might be the only time until gradu­ation. It was a roaring success.Even then, though, the Union was beginning to shake a little. There wasa small Union Board almost perenially in a state of nervous collapse fromover-work. There were times when it seemed as though the whole UnionBoard consisted of Jan Metros and Joan Raphael. These two planned thedances, silk-screened the publicity, scurried about campus putting-up thepublicity on seemingly numberless bulletin boards, decorated, supervisedthe dance.How much the Union depended on these two became painfully apparentwhen they both ran in the Student Government election and were unable todevote their full energies to the preparation for the Danse Macabre. Be­cause of the inactivity of the rest of the Union, the dance was cancelled.Having failed to increase its active membership, the Union had to doone of two things: resign itself to its members flunking out of school orclose up shop. In view of the fact that said members were first and fore­most students, the latter decision was made.77ublications1955 Cap and GownMichael J. F. RogersPaul A.

Founded with the University, it predates the Maroon (theonly other ancient contender) by a year; but it folded during the war, wasre-activated only in 1952.This is the third post-war Cap and Couni volume, the fourth post-warannual.

Whether they did or notcannot be decided here.What can be discussed is Cap and Gown's role incampus life. One thing is certain: Cap and Gown isnot a production for present students. Circulationfigures show that. It's greatest readership is thosenot yet come to Chicago, given the book as promo­tional material; those who have gone or are leaving.Editor Rogers shows off his hospital growth.80 A toast from Business Manager Seckinger, Editors Spiegel andRogers to the 1955 Cap and Gown at the Annual Editors Party./ lJ /Cap and Gown does have its influence on the pres­ent enrollment; however, not through the printedpage_ The yearbook staff is, in a certain respect, thevanguard of a large, active group of student leaderswho feel a positive identification with the traditionsof the Universiry.As a focal point of the movement-which for lackof a better name is called "rah-rah-ism"-Cap andGoum. has pressed for a more dynamic extra-curricu­lum.

(for Robert) 1 anger was electedEditor-in-Chief of The Chicago Maroon last Spring,he promised a complete break with the past. Almostalone among student organizations, he explained, theMaroon had failed to keep step with a changingcampus. His hopes, however, were not realized. TheMaroon was a victim of its own inertia: unwilling,unable to change itself. As 1 anger explained,"You've got to work with people," the people withwhom he was working were products of the oldorder.In one respect, langer's Maroon was a vast im­provement over his predecessors' productions-ad­vertising. Issues of the Maroon were larger, filledwith more ads. For the first time in three years a20 page issue came off the press, while other weeksfeatured 12 and 16 pages contrasted with the 4 and8 which were the rule before.News coverage suffered from lack of co-ordination,though a greater effort was expended toward creationof a united news editorship. The net result was oftena paucity of news copy-usually filled by the Man­aging Editor's Exchange Student Theory of SolvingU.S.-Soviet Relations. On several occasions the NewsEditor, screamed, begged, pleaded with her staff tofind more stories. Yet many important developments( e.g.: the election of U. of C. faculty members to theU. S. Senate, Sheriff's Office, the appointment ofnew Deans in F.T.S., Divinity School, ChancellorHutchins' visit to campus, speeches by Allen Dulles,William O. Douglas, Stephen Mitchell and others ofequal fame to law student groups) went uncovered.Writing quality remained at low ebb. Dull, ob­tuse, repetitious, ungrammatical sentences oftencrept into print. Originality was seldom to be found:press releases were inserted with a minimum of reowriting. When J anger wrote a eulogy of EnricoFermi, he generously plagerized the Sun-Times, thePhotography Editor (writing on the same subject)showed better taste-he paraphrased The New YorkTimes.Much of the fault for sloppy writing can be tracedto an ancient handicap which has consistantlyplagued the Maroon: failure to enforce deadlines.Copy arrives barely under, or after, the wire with- out time for checking as regards style, grammar orfact. Sloppy writing also results from a failure totrain staff members properly; often new arrivals aregiven important assignments the moment they enterthe office.On the Feature Page sloppy writing results frommuddled thinking. The Feature Editor, when notreading Karl Marx and Margaret Sanger, devotedwhole pages to Soviet films playing at West Sidemovie house, or to other elements of "people's" cul­ture. In this respect the Maroon was conservative:, >i ,. 1....Reporter Sue Tax shows Diane Epstein's mural of the Maroon Staff.Miss Epstein is being beheaded (center right) while Miss Tax re- r .� ,/"T\\ \ ,\. !;:;,ceive- her copy (center left). Editor Janger spots an unused halo(upper left).83Editor 1 anger starts off the year examining prospective staff members.last year's L.Y.L. Feature Editor did the same thing.Only on the Sports Page was any of the fire ofthe previous year retained. Vivid writing, excellentpictures and cartoons for illustration, as well as afine sense of make-up (unlike the wild theories of"horizontalism" and "vibrant diagonalism" whichpervaded the rest of the paper )-all combined tomake the Sports Section the most readable in theMaroon. The fact that the Sports Editors and theirstaff knew of what they wrote was no handicap.Photography, also, showed marked strides for­ward. A new engraver helped reproduction quality,which still suffered from the cheap grade of paper,ink the Maroon used. Best jump came with the estah­lishment of a Photographic Staff of proper compe­tence, imagination; as well as a properly equippeddarkroom borrowed from University Theatre.The basic difficulty with the Maroon, this year asin the past, has been the delusion that the Marooncan be a democratic debating society as well as apress organ. Editorials, news stories and even head­line types are made the basis of staff discussion be­fore they find their way into print. The staff spendsmore time debating than in reporting, uncoveringnews.The Editor himself was not of this opinion, buthe was unable to rise above it. Only the irregular84 The Beaux Arts Ball brings some horseplay to Photographer Jangeras he shoots Felicia (Pat Ward) Anthonelli and Paul (Young, butoh! $25.00) Hoffman.Another duty of the Editor comes as Janger and the other editorsthrow what stories where in the weekly news pool. On Friday the Editors can relax. Janger and Managing Editor Bur­bach criticize the week's issue.printing of Editor's Columns-too often dashed offat the last moment-betrayed the fact that the Editorhad anything to say about the affairs of the paper.The root is constitutional. The Maroon constitu­tion was created when the Editors, staff were wide­eyed, narrow-minded radicals with an orientationtoward Moscow rather than 5801 Ellis. Their prod­uct has hamstrung subsequent staffs. While therewas unified staff opinion, it worked effectively. Now,when there is not, it has stifled editorial decision,tended to elect weak Editors.A newspaper-like a symphony orchestra-is, byits nature, tyrannical. A strong man is needed attop. On the Maroon such a strong man was lacking.In 1951 the Dean of Students removed a Red Editor,but left untouched the Maroon organization. Theuproar caused then made it seem unlikely that itcould be done again, but the ease with which ArthurKiendl uprooted Student Union subsequent re-evalu­ation of the extra-curriculum, shows that 1955 mightbe the staff's last chance to create a campus-wideMaroon.85The Staff of the Chicago Review. Editor Karmatz declined to be photographed.Chicago ReviewThe literary magazine of the University of Chicago became the nation'slargest "little" magazine in 1955. But the Chicago Review. also seemedunable to resolve its persistent conflict: whether it would be 'a "national"magazine or a "campus" one. In other words, would its contributions befrom outside or student sources.Editor "Chip" Karmatz, who produced some excellent publications, madea Solomon-like decision: reviews, some poetry were student contributions;articles, fiction from outside sources. Greatest interest was shown inachieving a rapport between the concepts through articles by such campusfigures as Reuel Denney and Mark Kennedy which also appealed to theoutside readership.86Law ReviewThe University of Chicago Law Review is a schol­arly journal, published quarterly by second and thirdyear Law School students. Major articles contributedby law professors, judges, outstanding attorneys;comments on legal problem areas written by studentmembers of the Review staff; hook reviews form themajor content of each issue. The Review thus pro­vides a current critical commentary on the develop­ment of law for lawyers, as well as an intensifiedprogram of legal writing for student staff members.This year the Law Review has devoted particularattention to such areas as the development of a newtest for insanity in the criminal law, Professor Cross­key's views on the 14th Amendment. Student workhas ranged from critical examination of compulsoryhealth insurance programs to comment on cumulativevoting provisions involved in the Montgomery Wardbattle. In addition to its regular activities, the Re­view this year acted as host for the hi-annual conven­tion of the National Conference of Law Reviews, heldin April on the campus.The Law Review Office in the Law Building Basement is always busyas the legal editors pour over the docket of cases and articles.

He continuedU .T.'s policy of presenting "the best of drama-pastand present."In early October U.T. presented "An EveningWith Ken Nordine," who is considered Chicago's bestinterpreter of dramatic literature.

It has shedits coat of Bohemianism which it wore for the past several years, shows lessconcern with being Arty, but rather concentrates on the hard work andtechnical skill required to present a production of moving dramatic impact.89AcrotheatreNationally famous for its presentations combiningmodern dance, ballet, gymnastics, Acrotheatre thisyear presented only two shows. One at the AnnualAlumni Open House in February, the other at theFirst Annual Festival of the Arts in April.Both shows-with the exception of one or two acts-were the same: an exhibition by the VarsityGymnasts on the high bar, "Around and Around"featuring the clowning of Herb Taylor and Director­Coach E.

Founded in 1946 as Radion Midway,W.U.C.B. has experienced a number of ups and downs (including an in­junction to cease broadcasting by the Federal Communications Commission).In the process evolved a collection of anecdotes-humorous, exaggerated,even some with unbroadcastable details.Since its low ebb in 1950, W.U .c.B. gradually acquired an almost com­pletely new st't of broadcasting equipment, built by Technical DirectorSheldon Danielson. The Program Department was not asleep either. Pro­gram Director Bill Dunning announced expansion to six evenings per week.The main event of the broadcasting year was the Fourth Annual Marchof Dim-s 24 Hour Marathon, featuring interviews with Mayoral CandidateMerriam and the non-tonal music of Fred Beckman's Pro Nausea Quintet,which will rank in musical history with Nero's fiddling and the inventionof the electric kazoo.92William Carlos Williams reads his poetry to a Rockefeller Chapelaudience.

The purpose of the Festival, said theinvitation, was to present the best of Chicago studentsin the major camps activities-social, athletic, andcultural. It was little expected that the Festivalwould become a mock battleground, for the rah-rahand intellectual forces on the campus.Oblivious to derogatory shouts of "Rah-rah!,"collegiate-looking student-workers on the Festivalbedecked quadrangle lamp-posts with bright red andwhite fluttering streamers. At night, they bouncedhappily through fraternities, dormitories, and thelibraries in costumes that were sometimes scanty toadvertise the Beaux Arts Ball. Again they weregreeted with "Rah-rah!," though the phrase was saidmore cheerfully. They stopped long enough towhistle or giggle at the large sculpted nudes whichappeared in Hutchinson Court. One day they pa-On Thursday, April 14, the Festival opened withan Arts and Crafts fair at Lexington Hall which drewsome four hundred art lovers-the Festival was wellon its popular way. Attendance figures at scheduledevents were phenomenal for a campus whose apathyis complained of loudly: 700 at the Willima CarlosWilliams lecture, 800 at the Festival of the Nations.An unprecedented 100 cheered the Chicago team at atrack meet. One of the most popular events was theBeaux Arts Ball where 500 masked people danced inHutchinson Commons. For the first time in whatseemed like eons, the campus had turned out as aunited body-it seemed as though the atomizationwhich had typified the campus had been replaced, atleast for the four days of the Festival.Associate Professor in the College Gerhardt E. O.Meyer was the man who made the suggestion out ofwhich the Festival grew. His view is that with theCollege curriculum being split, campus cohesivenesswould have to be achieved through the social activi­ties on campus. He felt the old dichotomy betweenrah-rah and intellectualism would pass if a common,all-campus social and intellectual meeting groundcould be found. The Top Administration came as characters Irem Alice in W onder­land: Mrs. Kimpton as the Mad Queen, The Chancellor as the MadHatter, Mrs. Harrison as Alice, Vice-President Harrison as the Rab­bit, Dean and Mrs. Strozier as the King and Queen of Hearts.95Acrotheatre's Spring performance was part of theBall.

Besides their regular Sunday choir duties atRockefeller Chapel, they did two major works this year, accompanied by theChicago Symphony Orchestra. One was the Christmas concert performanceof Handel's Messiah; and for the Palm Sunday concert, in contrast to thePassion According to Saint John, which they had done last year, they didBach's The Passion According to Saint Matthew. The latter performancewas broadcast to the whole Chicago area over WEFM, and the Universitystation, WUCB, inaugurated their Sunday afternoon broadcasts by coveringthe Palm Sunday performance at Rockefeller.98The Concert Band in their new uni­forms, All that was missing from Bandactivity was Big Bertha, their huge re­tired drum.Concert BandThe Concert Band, yet to give a concert, was re­formed only in 1953. Its activities-in the main­consist of playing at U. of C. basketball games, threethis year.In 1955 the Band aimed at: 1) building member­ship, 2) winning recognition. Both goals have beenfulfilled to a certain extent. Membership, now num­bering 25, is evenly balanced, though weightedtoward brass. WUCB recordings, basketball per- formances, a planned concert In the Spring haveplaced the Band's name before the University Com­munity.A relic of U. of c.'s colorful past, the ConcertBand with bright new uniforms may well lead themarch - physically, symbolically, musically - intothe colorful future when everybody knows the wordsto Wave the Flag.The Band blows away at a Maroon basketball game.

They have also tried to stress unusual modernmusic including the Midwest premiere performancesof Stravinsky's "Septet 1953." The main body ofperformers have been made up of University studentsand faculty, and other musicians in the Chicago areafrequently have contributed to their concerts. Theprograms are always presented in an informal man­ner, for then chamber music is heard to best advan­tage. Throughout this year 1954-55 the ChamberMusic Society has given ten concerts, performedSunday afternoons in the library of Ida Noyes Hall.100 Glee ClubUnder the new and able direction of Mr. PeterSwing, also known as a favorite instructor of Hu­manities I, the University Glee Club has had anothergood year. Though the Glee Club started as a smallinformal group of people interested in music, it hasgradually been expanding until this year when theyhad a membership of about fifty-five people. Theyhave given three major concerts this year; a winterconcert, an appearance for the Alumni Association,for the Alumni Weekend, and a Spring Concert whichwas given in connection with the Festival of theArts. The Glee Club has spent most of their timethis year working on sixteenth and seventeenth cen­tury English music, plus doing some masses andfolk songs.Collegium Musicum Conductor Richard Vickstrum at the podium,drawing the utmost from his musicians.Collegium MusicumThe Collegium Musicum is the student orchestra,composed of amateur musicians from every part ofthe University, under the general direction of Mr.Richard Vikstrom. This year they have given aboutthree concerts each quarter, some on Sundays in BondChapel, the others were performed in Leon MandelHall. Their repertoire consists mostly of traditionalseventeenth and eighteenth century music, with thesolo parts capably handled by student members.Dieter Kober directs a group of Collegiate Sinfonietta members in achamber music performance.eligionRocke/eller Memorial Chapel"As the spirit of religion should penetrate and control[The University of Chicago] so that building that representsreligion ought to be the central and dominant feature of theUniversity group."This dream expressed by John D. Rockefeller was ful­filled this year by the newly-installed evening lighting sys­tem on Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. Both by day andnight this Gothic structure is the central religious symbolon campus, stimulating faculty and students alike to a ma­ture faith, involving sound thinking and the courage to act.Under the direction of the Dean of Chapel Rev. John B.Thompson and Associate Dean Wallace W. Robbins, thisaim is exemplified in the Chapel every Sunday morning, andat special service with guest preachers at other times.This religious spirit of the Chapel is also carried out inthe program of sacred music and in its concern with therelation of religion and the arts. The University Choir,directed by Richard E. Vickstrom, sings at all Chapel wor­ship services, presents quarterly concerts in the chapel. Dr.Heinrich Fleischer, Chapel Organist, presents special pro­grams at various times during the year, as does James R.Lawson, Chapel Carillonneur, who present recitals everySunday in the Chapel tower on the 72-bell carillon, one ofthe largest in the world.Under Pierre D. DeLattre's Chairmanship, the ChapelHouse Committee on Religion and the Arts sponsors a variedprogram throughout the year. Chapel House, adjoining theChapel, is also directed by Dean Thompson; serves to co­ordinate the activities of Protestant students on campus;houses the offices of several Protestant pastors, religious or­ganizations.Rockefeller Memorial Chapel wears white in the evenings BOW asRood lights illuminate its exteriors.102John Thompson is Dean of Chapp], preaches approximately half theSundar sermons.

For new students such as these it has always beenO-Board's responsibility to answer their questions, solve their problems.This select group-though who does the selecting has never been adequatelydetermined-arrives early in Autumn, prepares a program of tours, parties,bull-sessions for new students.Headed by James Rosenblum, this year's group had a special responsi­bility-accomplished in properly orienting many younger students whoarrived on campus a little afraid of Chicago's intellectual reputation, quitea bit happy about their new-found freedom. How this orientation wasaccomplished was never adequately determined either.llOStudent Advisory BoardEncouraging good students to come to the University has received theenthusiastic student touch through the activities of the Student AdvisoryBoard. The members of the S.A.B. are U.c. students interested in spreadingthe good name of the University's undergraduate education. During thelast two years, more than sixty volunteers have helped and advised Mrs.Ruth O. McCarn, Assistant Dean of Students, making personal contactswith college prospects.Each vacation, S.A.B. members make personal visits in their home areasto high school students who have asked about the University. Receptionsfor these students were held in Boston, Washington, Chicago and other citiesduring the last Christmas interim. Last summer, the Board tried to call,write or visit each member of the Fall entering class, giving unofficialinformation and a welcome to the University."It is a real credit to a university that so many students want to sharetheir enthusiasm for it," Mrs. McCarn has said. "And, the hard work ofthe S.A.B. people is having its effect. Not only does their personal approachhelp maintain applicants' interest, but many students now tell us that theyfirst learned about Chicago education from a member of the Student Ad­visory Board."Terry Lunsford points out Mitchell Tower sightsto prospective students in one of a series ofS.A.B. tours of the campus last Spring.111Ralph Henkle makes a telling point in his argument: "Resolved,that Fraternities are better than dormitories." Debate was one ofmany English style debates held in B.·]., Reynolds Club lounges.Student ForumA capacity crown throngs to International House auditorium for theUniversity of Chicago-University of London deLate. 'Twas truly a big year for Student Forum. TheU. of C. debaters engaged in 130 intercollegiatecontests, wending as far afield as Harvard, Brown,Columbia, N.Y. U., Georgetown to find competition.The team appeared in 11 tournaments where it fre­quently met Big Ten schools, such opponents asDartmouth, Boston U., Texas, Kansas, Missouri,Kentucky. Consisting of about 25 people, the S.F.team scored victories in roughly 70 per cent of theirmatches.At home, in addition to visits from Big TenSchools, U's of London, Pennsylvania-S.F. insti­tuted a new program of intramural debates. Startingin Winter, debates were held Thursday afternoons inReynolds Club South Lounge before audiences vary­ing between 60 and 100. Held English-style, theaudience was free to interject comments, opinions.Hence the debates oft bore the appearance of bear­baiting exhibitions. A good time was had by all­especially the debaters, chosen for their ability towithstand abuse. Such estimable institutions as theC-Shop, Hutchins Plan, U. of c.'s athletic puritycame under fire in the course of these debates. Theprogram was so successful that early in April, a sec­ond series was begun Tuesday evenings in B .. J.,drawing audiences of 50 and upwards.The year's highlight was a visit from the Univer-sity of London debating team. Before an audience of 500 in InternationalHouse, the British debaters argued successfully that freedom of speechwas decreasing in the IT .S.Another off-shoot, Student Forum of the Air, appeared weekly overW.U.c.B. The Forum also maintained a small community program ofdebates before church groups, community centers, etc.In 1954-55, under the Directorship of Marvin Phillips (who assumedthat role [and also that of Directorship of LT.T.] only this year) StudentForum greatly broadened its base of campus support, and for the first timein many years students woke up to the fact that there was an organizationon campus called Student Forum, and that it was the campus debatingsociety.Director Marvin Phillips goes over Debate procedure with Joe Engle, Mike Stanley. Roger Sownand Renshaw.113Chess Club1954-55 was one of the most successful years for the U _ of C. ChessClub. High point was a Fifth Place finish in the National IntercollegiateTournament, held in December at Columbia University. The team: CharlesHenin, Illinois State Champion; Leonard Frankenstein, who holds an "ex­pert" rating; Joel Kupperman, organizer of the New York trip, 1954 TeamCaptain; Michael Gottesman, 1955 Team Captain.The same men triumphed over Navy Pier, Rogers Park Chess Clubs,losing only to the highly rated Latavian Chess Club.Chess champion Chuck Henin (seated right) shows his form to other Chess Team members.IIIRobin Hood'sAferrie MenJoel Picheny takes student signatures for theRobin Hood Soap-to-Senators as other MerrieMen watch,Political activity has always had a strange fasci­nation for, subtle hold on U. of C. students. Onegroup which held the spotlight for several months-in a startling, novel way-was Robin Hood'sMerrie Men. Taking the name of the legendary ban­dit whose biography was called "subversive" by anIndianapolis housewife, the anti-McCarthy groupfound a home not only on the Midway, but on severalMidwestern campuses (e.g. Indiana, Michigan, Wis­consin, Roosevelt).Under Emil Johnson's leadership, Merrie Mendistributed green feathers, spotted by practicallyeveryone on campus, especially the T.V. viewers who hissed the villains (McCarthy, Cohn), cheered theheroes (Welch, McClellan); sponsored a MandelHall talk by Sauk City Editor Leroy Gore, leader ofthe "Joe Must Go" movement.But the Merrie Men's real contribution to campushistories came in the Fall Quarter. Suddenlysprouted all over campus booths featuring soap cakes,each marked "D.W.J./V.c." ("Don't whitewash Joe,vote censure"), to be sent to the student's favoriteSenator. Merrie Men soap senders won the tongue­in-cheek approval of Vermont Senator Flanders,could point-with-pride to themselves, say, "Wecleaned-up the Senate."usMountaineeringClubMountaineering Club members prepare for theascent on Teton Mountains in Wyoming.Two members make the climb up the snow-capped peaks (left) be­fore reaching the top (right).The University Mountaineers were organized inFebruary, 1954, divided their activity into threephases: 1) a training program for beginners, 2) bi­weekly meetings consisting of informal, illustratedtalks relative to mountaineering, the outdoors, 3)outing to local, Western climbing areas.The beginners program has not merely shownpeople how to climb, but how to climb safely usingproper technique. The techniques are talked about,practiced in Stagg Field, put to practical use on localoutings.Frequently during the year, outings to Devil's LakeState Park, Palisade State Park are sponsored by theclub, while last summer, the club sponsored two tripsto Teton Mountains in Wyoming.116Sailing ClubNew skipper, crew were the feature of the Sailing Clubthis year. Bob Baron, Ellsworth McClenachan ended eligi­bility, but Dott Hess and newcomers Shawn Devlin, PeteLangrock, Ted Bronson compensated by consistently finish­ing in the money in each regatta.Saturdays saw Club members at Columbia Yacht Club,sailing their newly redecorated dinghy (This line runs everyyear) or competing in informal races with I.I.T. or North­western. The Club, founded in 1939, is a Charter Memberof the Mid-West Collegiate Sailing Association. BesidesChicago, the M.C.S.A. includes many Big Ten, other largeMidwestern universities. U. of C. teams are thus likely tocompete one weekend at Michigan State, the next at Wis­consin. Every weekend, at least, finds them active in a"dink."117Astronomical SocietyOne of many organizations dedicated to advancing the students' under­standing in a particular field of knowledge is the Astronomical Society.A major event for the club was an informal trip by several members toMinneapolis last Summer to view the sun's eclipse.Other activities include discussions, experiments with astronomicalapparatus, star-gazing in Ryerson Tower.Three Astronomical Society members view the stars through Ryerson Tower telescope.118Alumni-Dean 's Auard HonorsPresented by the Dean of Students for the Alumni Association, theAlumni Dean's Award-a bronze medal inscribed "Student Achievement"dangling from a maroon and gray ribbon-is awarded for participation inextra-curricular activity. In its four years of existence, the Alumni-Dean'sAward has been presented, not only to those heads of major organizations(e.g. Cap and Gown, Student Government), but also to those who haveundertaken the more prosaic jobs of University promotion, bettering student­alumni relations. The medal is awarded in June at the Annual Inter-Fra­ternity Sing.1954 Award Winners(first row) Allan C.

Its membership seeks, in selecting new members, to form ahemiphygeous discussion group. Dean of Women Ruth O. McCarn, as thegroup's advisor, meets with the members, takes a full role of Nu Pi activity.The group's social function has declined in the past year: for the first timein more than a decade they did not hold their annual dinner with Owl andSerpent. However, the group continues to demand of its members the bestof Nu Pi tradition, the full meaning of its secret motto: "For Chicago, IWill."Nu Pi Sigma. Carolyn Eggert, Jo Fulkerson Me­Grade, Ann Casselman Graff, Jan Porter, Eliza­beth Dudkey, Betty Ferrar,Allen Janger and Bruce Larkin take a time-outfor study in the O. and S.'s modernly- furnishedrooms in Mitchell Tower.120Owl & Serpent.

Letter Book," theirfirst in 14 years. The Letter Book, containing infor­mation of all living society alumni, mailed to thesealumni, recorded in addition the state of the extra­curriculum at Chicago.121Iron MaskOriginally the honor society for "junior" men,Iron Mask has subsequently expanded to take in"freshmen" and "sophomores," replacing the nowdefunct Skull and Crescent to include full range ofundergraduate honoraria. The group meets bi­quarterly to discuss selection of new members, holdsinitiation in the Spring.Iron Mask, First row: Eiichi Fukushima, John Smothers, John Lyon, Larry Sherman.

T. N. Metcalf's limited athletic bud­get makes it unlikely that he will appoint a regularprofessional in Bates' place, and so one of the vet­eran team members will probably get the job.Other posts will remain as they are. Athletic Di­rector Metcalf goes into his twenty-third year on theMidway. An Olympic Executive Board member, hecame to Chicago as replacement for the "grand oldman" Amos Alonzo Stagg.The staff that he has gathered around him willcontinue with their present sports. In spite of Acro­theatre's suspension for one year, Erwin F. "Bud"Beyer, a national champion gymnast as an under­graduate, will teach tumbling technique to his gym­nastics team.Ted Haydon will attempt to continue his excellentrecord as cross-country and track coach. His Track SportsClub, which has grown steadily since its birth in '51,may reach national stature in '55·'56.Nelson H. Norgren, one of Chicago's very fewtwelve-"C" men when an undergraduate, heads intohis thirty-fourth year with UC basketball. Assistinghim in basketball and coaching baseball is KyleAnderson, like Bates, Beyer, Haydon, Norgren, andJV basketball coach Joe Stampf a graduate of Uc.Alvar Hermanson, a graduate of a StockholmGymnasium, is in charge of soccer and fencing here.One of the best fencing coaches in the United States,he was named Olympic coach for the war-cancelledgames of 1940.Neither of the remaining staff members gradu­ated from the Midway either. Oberlin is the AlmaMater of intramural director Kooman Boycheff.Swimming and tennis coach William Moyle went toschool at LaCrosse (Wisconsin) State Teachers, andcame here by way of Iowa State and USc.With the exception of Bates, these men will con­tinue their competent coaching and instruction totyro athletes in the year to come.The 1955 Coaching Staff: Seated: Nelson Norgren, Joe Stampf, Alvar Hermanson, Kyle Ander­son.

Captain Billy Lester set a newindividual scoring record with 357 points in the 19game season, averaging 18 per game. Dick Rowlandalso showed well for the Maroons.Major Letters were received by Al Binford, JoeChisholm, Smoky Garcia, Billy Lester, Dick Row­land, Walt Walker, Mitch Watkins. Minor Letterswere given to Joe Feinberg, Lou Hamilton, JimStrawn, Dick Thompson.With the exception of Hamilton, all these men areeligible next year, to return, give Coach Nelson Nor­gren the making of a winning squad.Coach Kvle Anderson shows off time-honored trophies to enteringstudents in Bartlett Gym trophy room.125TrackTrack remained the outstanding major sport dur­ing the spring of '54 and the winter of '55. As usual,a number of good runners who had competed a whilefor other schools before being attracted by Chica­go's academic reputation turned out for the team in'55. Joined with the track and field men developedby Ted Haydon on the Midway, they made a trulyformidable team.But a home-grown hurdler and dashman, FrankLoomos, walked off with most of the honors in '55just as he had the year before. He dominated trackin the way Walt Deike had dominated cross country.Winning at least three events in most meets, he seemscertain to win the William A. Bond medal again thisyear.Newcomers included ace middle-distance menChuck Rhyne and Ted Fishman. They helped set anew indoor mile-relay record with Lowell Hawkin­son and freshman Jim Brown in March.Paul Baptist, Jim Flynn, and Art Omohundrocontinued to win many points in the distance runs,aided by Ray Sanders. In the weights, it was JoeHoward, a consistent winner, and Roger Forsyth,consistently placing behind him.Dan Trifone, Dewey Jones, and Mitch Watkinshelped Loomos in hurdle events. And many otherrunners and fieldmen provided the depth to help getthose all-important second and third place points.The UC Track Club also continued to grow andprosper. Miler Phil Coleman, half-miler Bill Con­rardy, miler Lawton Lamb, and others combinedwith the regular team to win the Central AAU meet, The finish of the two mile shows Chicago's Paul Baptist breakingthe tape in what is almost a dead-heat, but officials credited Centralrunner with the win.and to engage in several open meets.

Wrestler-coachAl Bates, a student of Keats and Chaucer, let drop a phrase that was picked up by every UC publica­tion and many students. "Every man a tiger" im­pressed everyone except the wrestlers themselves,who proved less than ferocious before several foes.In fairness to the team, they met tough competi­tion with a small squad, and did well for themselves,all in all. Their best effort came in downing Mar­quette, 18-16, in an away meet in January. The winavenged a 17-18 loss to the same team one yearbefore.John Shafer opened the meet by losing a hardfought bout to his opponent. Don Donderi provedmore tiger-like winning first on a forfeit and then11-4 in an exhibition. Kent Flannery continued bywhipping the Marquette team captain.

Owen Rennert and Norm Cook lost closematches, but heavyweight Lynn Illingworth pinnedMarquette's man.UC's other heavyweight, Jerry Mehrens, won bya fall in another exhibition match.Besides coach Bates' tiger idea, several interest­ing aspects of wrestling emerged during the year.One was the weight-losing program that all exceptheavyweight grapplers must go through if they areover their classification by more than two pounds.All overweight wrestlers must follow Mayo's two­week diet, a diet that is "harmless for two weeks,but not for longer." It is high-protein, with lots ofeggs, grapefruit, and steak.Another aspect was the growth of stubble andshort beards in order to scare off head holds. Noone, it seems, likes to wrestle a porcupine, particu­larly one with delusions of tigerhood.Since Al Bates completes his Master's require­ments this year, Athletic Director T. Nelson Metcalfmust find a new coach. Whether it will be an outsideprofessional or one of the team, as Bates was, hasnot been decided. Whichever it is, the new coachwill have a hard time producing a season as liter­arily successful-from reviews in Cap and Gown tothe LTC Alumni Magazine-as this one has been. Hiswon and lost record will be of secondary importance.

Competition was keenestthis year in the College and Independent league, buta strong Psi Upsilon team made a shambles in theFraternities League. The College League saw a repe­tition of last year's Linn-Coulter rivalry, with a re­versal occuring as Coulter won in a thrilling show­down game.

TheAutumn Quarter closed with the annual pre-seasonall-university basketball tournament, an eliminationtournament participated in by all the interested or­ganizations on campus. In the finals, Coulter wonagain, staving off a last minute rally by the Aces,an informal organization of men who had played to­gether with the Shimer University varsity team. Coul­ter's overall height, and the scoring of Dewey Jonesand Paul Baptist, were too much for the well-bal­anced Aces, who were led by Kent Karohl.The major sport of the Winter Quarter was bas­ketball. There was relatively little competition inany of the leagues, with all the winners emergingwith undefeated records. Vincent, led by fine overallrebounding strength, and the fine play of Roy Lavikand Don McClintock, took the College championship.The Fraternity league was blemished by the factthere were more forfeits than games played, as theteams saw very little point in competing with a PsiU. powerhouse that bowled over all opposition andhad no trouble taking the title.

The annual Apache Party, joint parties withthe womens clubs and the elaborate Grass Skirtkeep the Fijis busy. This year the Fijis held theirNinth Annual Christmas party for children from theU. of C. settlement house in conjunction with two ofthe Womens Clubs.

This Autumn materialized complaints of several years whensome 150 Burton-Judson residents came down with similar cases of foodpoisoning.Billings staff members soon hit upon a culprit-a Noonday serving oflink sausage. Tests taken on every other article of food pronounced themfree of worms, fungi, other sick-making anamalia. But the link sausage,completely consumed, was condemned, by process of elimination.Nausea hit residents about twelve hours after the meal, lasted yet an­other day. What the Maroon euphemistically described as "a highly sensi­tive stomach", lasting another day, followed shortly.B.-J. officials were caught red-faced, insisted upon investigation, saidIt-wouldn't-happen-again, expressed their sorrow, sympathy.

But no longer-for Beecher isnow a law students' dorm, and the bulletin boardfilled with dance bids has given way to piles of lawbooks, cases and decisions. Yet the law studentshave created a thriving community of their own: acommon dining hall, evening coffee hours, guestspeakers-all provide a communal atmosphere forthe student in pursuit of the study of law. Beecherlacks not for women visitors either, for its loungeboasts the only television set in the C-Group.In other graduate dorms, the community is not asclosely knit, for the men of Beechr are bound toeach other by a common study. The interests of thegirls in Gates-Blake and the men in Snell-Hitchcockare more diversified, and the absence of communaldining facilities tends to disperse further the meet­ing ground for these students. Gates-Blake, Snell­Hitchcock-even with their minimum of house gov­ernment and house functions-resemble not so muchdormitories, but large rooming houses, where eachresident is left to do as he or she pleases-usuallyLunchtime in the B.-J.

First and foremost, 15 cheers for Ernie Simmons of J ahn and OIlier,without whose help this would be the 1956 Yearbook. Another 15 cheersfor Jahn and OIlier's Carol Fox, who did such a fine job of such a drearytask: the dummy.Next, thanks to the Cap and Gown's hoary alumni: Tom DeLeon, EdMaupin, Jerry Gross, who stopped down in the office to offer cheery andfatherly advice to the weary and oft discouraged staff.And then, for fatherly discipline, thanks to Art Kiendl who occasionallyfound it necessary to scold the staff out of its lethargy. Thanks too to Rossiwho softened the scoldings.Much of this laudation must go to our sister organization, Gamin Dregs.Also to George and Sam, to James Buchanan and Co., Ltd.-all of whomsupplied the succor and sustinence necessary to keep us going.To Felicia Anthenelli, Virginia Mitchell, Lee Case, Dick VanderFen,Marvin Phillips, Allen Janger, above all to William Morgenstern and hiswhole crew in Press Relations-all of whom supplied much neededpictures.To Bruce Larkin, Margo Turkel, Beverly Berman, Bob Strader, SylviaHedley, Pat Cagney, Evelyn Lee, and the many others who sat at the type­writer and went through the drudgery of transfering illegible handwritingto readable copy. A big thanks also to Mike Cilligan for his Echo drawings.A last word of thanks to C-Shop coffee, the Student Loan Service, andSue Perkins' Winstons.Jan Metros:Woman of the yearThis issue of Cap and Gown marks the return of two almost forgottensegments of campus life. First: Echo, the traditional supplement to Capand Gown. Second: Echo's Man of the Year. The last man of the year was] 939's William Hardy MacNeill, now Chairman of the College HistoryCourse, Collaborator of Toynbee-then Maroon Editor and "Personalvoice of Hutchins on campus."For a discussion of 1955's Man of the Year, read on:A 5' 4", hazel-eyed, dark-browned-haired cooedwho can be seen almost anywhere on campus is JanMetros. During O-Week, in the B.-J. Snack Bar, infront of Cobb, in LS.L. Caucus, S.C. meetings, etc.--she is virtually everywhere.Jan's influence has made itself felt in many or­ganizations. As President of LS.L., a S.C. memberand Chairman of the important N .S.A. Committeeher voice carries much weight in campus politics.Her almost tearful speech on the S.C. floor favoringthe Kucheman (which helped mold a solid LS.L.vote and split S.P.P.) was in marked conference toone she gave at Madison a few weeks previous. Rep­resenting the U.S.S.R. at a U.N. Conference, Janargued so eloquently in the Human Rights Commis­sion (despite one goof: a reference to "Cod-givenrights) that one girl actually thought she was a Com­munist-until she found out Jan was Catholic.Her devoutness manifests itself in many ways.One: rousing her sleeping sisters from bed Sundaymornings to drag them to Mass. Another: At a Stu- dent Union Board meeting, discussing whether toschedule a dance during Lent, Jan blurted: "Butyou can't. It just isn't ... isn't kosher!"During Orientation Week she was an O.-Assistantin the C.-Croup, an active member of O.-Board andStudent Advisory Board. A three-year dorm resi­dent, who participated widely in House activities,represented her house on the Inter-Dorm Council,she was a willing, capable volunteer to help houseofficers.Her popularity was shown last Fall when she ledthe ticket in the S.C. elections. F our times Jan hasvied for office, and four times won-twice to S.C.,twice to the N .S.A. Congress as a National Delegate.A U .-High graduate, this is her third year at U.of C. and she plans to study Archeology-a far cryfrom silk-screening in the S.U. Workshop. But it'sall part of her development, and her contribution tothe campus extra-curriculum-much of it behindthe scenes, unheralded-that qualifies her to beWoman of the Year.�i3tingui:JteJServicetoA familiar and reassuring sloganFAMILIAR ... because it has appeared inthollsands of the cOllntris finest year­books for the past half centllry.REASSURING .. because those years ofspecialized experience bring completeservice, outstanding quality and de­pendable delivery to the yearbook staffs.with whom we work.+JAHN & OlLiER ENGRAVING CO.817 W.
