Three men, a log, and a few chords • • •One of those regrettably anonymous sayers of sayings' oncecalled a school a log with a teacher at one end and a student on theother. But somehow in America this lowly log has managed togrow to such incredible proportions, what with books and ma­chines and buildings to house them all, that it requires a thirdperson-an administrator-to take care of it while the student andthe teacher go about their business.This is a book about one such group of people, plus log, andwhat they did and thought about during one year. Because we arestudents, not historians or prophets, we don't claim to know allabout everything that has happened. We have tried to observe, toanalyze, and to report what we saw and felt. Because of the natureof this University, we cannot claim it is what everyone has seenor felt; we just hope it will strike a few common chords, a fewthings that people who were involved in the University of Chicago1957-58 will remember and perhaps enjoy ...

Like similar artifacts, this object is popularly investedwith a mystical power: the unwary student who steps onit will fail all his exams.Every college and university in America has similar cus­toms and traditions, and participation in them is oftenequated with "school spirit," a sense of unity in and identi­fication with the institution. The belief that spirit andunity are good things has led to public approval of fresh­man beanies, panty raids, tugs-of-war, honoraria, cheeringsections, and a host of similar usages.Such spirit, some have said, is notably absent at the Uni­versity of Chicago. UC students walk wherever they hap­pen to be going-on the Hutchinson seal or off-withequal nonchalance and no observable ill effects. The cur­rent custom seems to be not so much to flaunt tradition asto ignore it. This neglect of customary custom, it is furtherclaimed, causes a lack of unity in the student body-a lackwhich has often been discussed, debated, and deplored.Cries of "apathy" are raised from time to time, rallies areorganized sporadically, but for the most part Chicago'sstudents go about their business and display a profounddisinterest in mass action of any kind.Everyone has his own pet explanation for this state ofstudent affairs; events, people, and policies are alternatelypraised and blamed; but we believe that the history andthe quality of student life are, to a great extent, reflectionsof the character of the University itself.First and foremost, a university6It has always been a university, dedicated to the twinideals of education and research that are the major aims ofany university worth the name. It is, by and large, a grad­uate institution: two thirds of the student population aregraduate students, immersed in the serious business of earn­ing a higher degree, and the high quality of its Divisionsand Schools, taken as a whole, is unchallenged. But mostimportant of all, it is a university that honestly believes andworks under the principle that no single prescribed en­vironment, no matter how well constructed, can producethe consistently high order of thinking and work that theUniversity has come to expect of itself. The only kind ofatmosphere that is indisputably necessary to these func­tions is freedom: not freedom to waste time practicingsecret handclasps, not freedom to distil moonshine fromcucumbers or argue the merits and measures of angels andpins, but the invaluable freedom to investigate, to doubt,to rebel, to ridicule, to correct, to revamp, to invent, toimprovise, and, most of all, to learn. To learn-not whatto think, but how to think.This atmosphere of a demanding, disciplined intellectualfreedom pervades the university in countless forms, fromthe constant demand, "Define your terms!" in a casualcoffee-klatch conversation to the most sweeping of struc­tural revisions in curricular organization. The argument,the discussion, and the changes are continual. What shouldbe learned? What should be taught, and how, and why?Courses have been changed, added, combined, anddropped. Syllabi and reading lists undergo constant revi­sion. Methods and disciplines are constantly being re­examined, and when the methods of a particular field arefound to be inadequate to the study of a given problem,an interdisciplinary committee comes into being. Everychange has received opposition, every new idea has beengiven careful scrutiny, but thought these changes haveproven beneficial or profitless, the ongoing process of edu­cational revision continues.A history of freedom and education78To lose a man and gain a universityThis constant unrest and flux is confusing, chaotic, andsometimes even pernicious. But once an institution be­comes static it is stagnant and empty. Chicago is not deep­ly moved by competition with the Ivy League or with theIron Curtain or with the Nineteenth Century. It is in com­petition with itself.Not so strange, then, that one of the most importantevents of the year 1957-58 was the loss of a man. ForRobert M. Strozier, now president of Florida State Uni­versity, the atmosphere, the goals, and the methods of Chi­cago are useful and desirable. During his long tenure asDean of Students, this honest and capable man developedand lived under these precepts of freedom. His favoritequestion was, "What are we here for but to change therules?" The loss of such a man is only a physical loss, forhe both leaves behind and takes with him the Chicago tra­dition that he helped to build.9The Chicago tradition ...Such a tradition is not what is commonly called a "greattradition." It is not something which can be neatly pre­served in some recognizable object which can be ogled byprospects, revered by students, and fondly remembered byalumni. The so-called rules and traditions at Chicago existonly to be changed and changed again.For the University could saw up Mark Hopkins' log tomake a gross of superior mousetraps; it could embrace anOld Tradition, heavily trophied with a dusty brace of cob­webby old grads and old school ties; it could devote itselfto the mass production of stereotyped robots and beasts; itcould be content with the same kinds of students, teachers,and arguments year after year; it could quite easily modifyitself to fit the profitable pattern of the American college,where a good time is had by all. But behind its quiet facadeof Midwestern Gothic, the University of Chicago hasnever toed the line of the ordinary, the approved, and therespectable when these did not and could not contributeto relevant problems in the advancement of knowledge,the development of wisdom, and the discovery of truth.10For Rossi, a bookIt seems almost impossible that anyone could keep a sense ofhumor while spending fifteen hours a day on the job, regulatingnearly a hundred student groups, managing budgets, attendingfar too many official and unofficial meetings, and looking after thecountless pressing problems that are the daily lot of a Director ofStudent Activities.Yet when Mary Alice Newman (nee Ross) took the office in1956, she brought to it a sense of purpose, a philosophy, and awarmth that have made the office a kind of sanctuary for peoplein activities. They wander in with big and little problems-or justto talk-knowing that Rossi will fix it if she can.As Director of Ida Noyes Hall, she has waged a three-yearcampaign-"just like a woman! "-with curtains and pink lamp­shades and buckets of paint, to transform the "magnificent mau­soleum" into an attractive, homey place. Though often harried,Rossi somehow remains cheerful, concerned, and patient. Herencouragement and support saved at least one yearbook editorfrom utter collapse last year.And whatever good there is in this book, whatever good comesof and to it next year, we owe in great part to Rossi and her office.12Preface IInhoduction 3The University 14College 16Divisions 39Administration 68Student Activities 74Social 80Politics 98Fraternities & clubs 104The arts 114Communications 134Ath I etics 142Women's athletics 170Index 176Redevelopment & l-lyde Park 177iwn 1958 cap 6- gown 1958 cap 6- gown 1958 cap 6- gown1314Beneath plane - trees, an education ...15Chancellor turns redevelopment spiritWhile Hyde Park watched anxiously for the first signs of spring and thebudding of new buildings from Fifty-fifth Street rubble, Chief ArchitectLawrence A. Kimpton and his Executive Committee on Undergraduate Edu­cation began work on the University's own redevelopment plan, the recon­struction of the College.The Chancellor's speech to the student body in early February denoted thelines along which Committee thought was moving: a careful re-evaluation ofthe College as part of the American educational tradition.16After twenty years of evolution, the College seemedstructurally sound, if radical in design-students wereencouraged to progress at their own pace through acarefuly constructed and integrated system of generaleducation courses, aided by a faculty whose major con­cern was teaching; entrance, course, and graduation re­quirements were determined by a series of impersonaltests designed to measure the individual's ability andunderstanding rather than his chronological age and thenumber of years he had spent in school. Most impor­tant, the College was designed to prepare students forthe responsibilities of freedom, to develop methods ofanalysis and criticism that could be applied not only toissues raised in assigned course materials, but to prob­lems that would continue to face them as Americancitizens and human beings. And maturity was encour­aged by the assumption that it existed, hence class at­tendance and personal conduct were largely left to thestudents' own discretion. The theory was, "you canlead students to education, but you can't make themlearn." And the practices were designed to make learn­ing an active, attractive habit, education a challengingprocess. Long out of print, "If You Want AnEducation" described the spirit, philos­ophy, ideals of the Hutchins College.toward the College, analyzes structural problemsAs an experiment, the College plan was a success.However, certain unforeseen factors crept into the ex­periment. The College comprehensive and placementsystem did not jibe with the American credit system.The College AB did not become "coin of the realm."Students found it difficult to transfer credits in and out.And enrollment in the College fell behind the nationalpace.17Chancellor Kimpton enters Law Schoolbuilding, site of many an academicskirmish in monthly meetings of theCouncil of the Faculty Senate (supremeruling body over curriculwn matters).From educational reconstruction, a new battle cry:During the course of the first faculty deliberationson the College problem, it became clear that battle lineswere being drawn, a full-scale educational war wasbeing fought. The apparent issue was enrollment, butthe basic issue was educational philosophy, involvingthe autonomy of the College faculty and a clear defi­nition of the means and ends of a Chicago education.It was a battle for control over the College and its stu­dents. The hastily-drawn "new AB" plans of 1953 wereat best a compromise, at worst the beginning of the endfor the unity and form of the Hutchins curriculum. Chancellor Kimpton's midwinter speech indicatedthat an end was indeed near, that the time had comefor an honest, sweeping appraisal of the grand experi­ment. His remarks showed forthright respect for posi­tive gains and careful consideration of the errors andimplications of 25 years of experimental revision. HisCommittee had set busily to sorting out results, mindfulof the limitations of time and means.18The College would retain a four-year bachelor's pro­gram, directed toward both liberal and specialized edu­cation. Within this framework the Committee woulduse its extraordinary powers to create a curriculumconsonant with the College philosophy, yet palatableto the demands for specialized education. As outlined,the Committee's report included specific recommenda­tions for:1. Splitting the four year residence requirement intotwo years of general, liberal education, one year of"guided electives," a terminal year of specialization,The present College faculty is to be charged with theresponsibility of revising the current curriculum to fittwo years.2. Creation of an "undergraduate faculty" with juris­diction over the entire undergraduate program. TheChancellor expressed the hope that many members ofthis faculty will hold joint appointments in the Divi­sions, ensuring a sort of cultural interchange betweenDivisional specialists and the College faculty.3. Retention of the early entrant, placement test, andcomprehensive examination systems, probably withsome revision of the placements. College Dean Robert E. Streeter ex­plained the current College curriculumto new students during OrientationWeek, using historical, sometimes hys­terical illustrations to describe the seri­ous purposes of education.tThe College is dead!

For the Division of the Biologi­cal Sciences is concerned with the realm of nature, life,plants, animals, and the various things they do in orderto be what they are. And just as plants and animals livetogether and interact in ecological groups, bi sci depart­ments have taken up a sort of artificial ecology, coop­erating to discover the nature of living things and howthey grow.Like a medieval incantation reads the list of bi sci de­partments: anatomy, biochemistry, botany, medicine,microbiology, obstetrics and gynecology, pathology,pharmacology, physiology, psychiatry, psychology,radiology, surgery, zoology. But the Division's contri­butions have been far more than mumbo-jumbo, its mena good sight better than witch-doctors.40Between spring classes, medical stu­dents congregate in the quadranglebehind Abbott Memorial Hall for shoptalk. Medical men are sometimes said to be the only peoplethat work constantly toward eliminating the need fortheir own profession. And so the work goes on-in thenine superbly-equipped research hospitals that make upthe University Clinics, serving more than 180,000 pa­tients annually; in Abbott Memorial Hall, home of bio­chemists and physiologists and that mysterious organ­ism known as Lab Supply; in Botany and Zoology andAnatomy and Ricketts North and South; in the FoodResearch Institute and the Ben May Laboratory forCancer Research-in laboratories almost without num­ber. And yet, though the work goes on at a furious pace,and the list of results grows longer by the day, no physi­cian-researchers have yet been reported leaving the fieldfor lack of something to do.join forces in greenhouse laboratoriesand research hospitals to investigate living things-.Front facade of the Division's nine research hospitals (collectively termed "Billings" after thecentral wing) hides ultra-modern facilities and a newly-decorated interior under twin Gothictowers, minus gargoyles.

Their purpose: to seekunderstanding of man through his speech, writing,thought, history, and creative expression.Yet even with such a purpose the humanities remaina sort of paradox. Though most DC'ers play at the arts-go to concerts and murder Bach at home, read theGreat Books and write bad poetry-the division, thoughrich in scholarship, is comparatively poor in enrollmentand current endowment. In an intensely practicalworld, where time means money and money means in­fluence, the Division remains timeless and moneyless,perhaps, but not without influence: Chancellor Kimp­ton holds an appointment as professor of philosophy,Dean of Students Netherton an associate professorshipin Spanish. And Humanities scholars quietly persist inpursuing their studies, publishing their work, and col­lecting their honors.the creative expression of mankind through the agesThe Division's peripatetic scholars traveled far andwide this year: Leonard B.

But if the field of the social sciences today seemsmore modest, it is, in its own way, no less exciting.F or the social sciences consider the basic problemsthat have faced man as a social animal since the begin­ning of human time, with special references to the moredisturbing difficulties of the twentieth century. Andthe Division known to its friends as "soesh") worksboth through the classical disciplines (anthropology,economics, sociology, et al.) and through its unique in­terdisciplinary committees (as communication, humandevelopment, social thought) toward the kind of an­swers that will at least partially satisfy the complex,pragmatic demands of our age.54 Harold A. Anderson does the work of many people: asMarshal of the University, he arranges the details ofquarterly convocations; as director of student teaching,he administers UC's program of apprentice teaching inChicago area schools; as assistant to the chairman of thedepartment of education, he manages the education build­ing, issues time schedules and announcements, arrangesconferences; as a professor of education he somehow findstime to teach courses.Of its students, the Division requires not only an abil­ity to count noses and draw graphs, but a solid founda­tion in the methods of the dialectic-resolving the con­flict between the "counters" and the "dreamers" byasking its students to be both.

At Chicago, as elsewhere, thethings that students do when they are not studying are identi­fied as "extracurricular activities." Some of these activities arecarried on quietly by one or two students; others, of a moregregarious nature, are carried on in larger groups. When thesegroups reach the size of ten members they may, upon the elec­tion of officers, become recognized student organizations, of­ficial student activities-which, apparently, can be defined anddirected, since there are a Director and an Office of such activi­ties, a Student Government committee on such organizations.Organizations are constantly being started, stopped, re­formed, reorganized, and lamented. Since students have, as stu­dents, a comparatively short life span, the eras and epochs ofstudent civilization are correspondingly brief. Empires and dy­nasties rise and fall, cataclysms and reformations occur withina few weeks, a few months, at most a few years.7)This apparent instability is largely due to a long-standingUniversity policy of laissez-faire in the extracurriculum; a stu­dent organization is started when somebody feels a need or aninterest, and stops or changes when these needs and interestsalter or disappear. The University cooperates by providing thenecessary facilities when possible, with a minimum of direction,coercion, interference-and money.F or the most pan, this policy has worked very well indeed.The administration has felt justified in allowing students a com­paratively great degree of freedom, and student organizationsthrive. The official list of student activities-numbering, thisyear, nearly a hundred-is a fairly sensitive indicator of currentmterests.Such interests and the groups that exhibit them may be classi­fied in several ways. In one respect, there are activities which doexist and should, activities which do exist and should not, activ­ities which should exist and do not, and activities which shouldnot exist and do not. The second and the fourth classes neednot be given serious attention here, because generally there isn'tmuch attention paid to them.What, then, of the activities that should exist? If they doexist in some form, perhaps that form is adequate and perhaps itcould stand improvement. Student Union is always undergoingmajor surgery because somebody thinks it's a good idea but isn'tdoing well enough. The idea of a football team with all thetrimmings keeps coming up because somebody thinks a con­crete kraal-ful of cheering idiots (all the trimmings, perhaps,without the team) will breed Togetherness and Spirit. And yetthe real problem here is not so much what football will do toChicago, as what Chicago will do to football.U'C'ers are constantly inventing new forms of social expres­sion. Sometimes these take the names of older, long-deceasedgroups (as Blackfriars) and adapt the old to fit new needs (theyintroduced girls into the organization). The Folklore Society(current membership about 300) once migrated en masse toWisconsin to help establish a budding copy with a wing-ding.Student Forum introduced, to a wondering world, "Chicago­style debating," a sort of humorous dialectic which permitsalmost anything, including raucous audience participation.Heaven only knows what forrn football at Chicago will take.for fun-and with a purpose76Survival for any activity is largely a matter of the time andthe tide. Quite often a group is formed just to be recognized(the Sheena Fan Club, for instance) or to fill a specialized, tem­porary function (as the Students for Stevenson). Cenain morepermanent activities center about a particular semi-academicinterest (Archaeological Society, Parapsychology Club) or aliving group (Kelly House Council) or religion. These, andothers of wider interest (the Chicago Review, University The­atre, the Chicago Maroon) generally know what they are do­ing and do it rather well. Still others-often political and socialgroups-have never successfully defined their purposes, orrather, have not been flexible enough to suit changing condi­tions, and so they just go on by inertia, doing whatever, or notdoing whatever, the current membership thinks should be done.Like devotees of the arts, the students who participate in stu­dent activities are often accused of "fooling around." Some­times, indeed, they are. But quite apart from the function ofkeeping idle feet off the streets, student activities at Chicagoexist to bridge the gap between the academic world and theworld of practical experience. In a College whose unheraldedmotto is "education for freedom," activities have been a meansby which students work out in practical terms the meaning offreedom and responsibility. They are an almost essential panof a liberal education.77The institution termed "student leader," correspondingroughly to the Big Men on Other Campuses, generally occu­pies a position slightly below that of "squirrel" in the UCstudent vocabulary. The "student leader" is rarely either stu­dent or leader; he neglects his studies for a lot of sound, fury,and sign-posting that signify, at most, nothing. His "leading"consists of getting elected to, or, quite often, volunteering fora position with a high-sounding title and then doing some­thing, or nothing, or anythnig. He deceives himself and othersand gives the impression of working very hard and generallymaking much ado about very little. Such is the "studentleader."The organization which has contributed most to this notionis, in all probability, Student Government. The current Gov­ernment, as constructed, has few responsibilities; its function­ing has become nebulous and close to meaningless, and its ac­tions are felt only in small ways by the students whom it pur­ports to represent. With few exceptions, members of theGovernment-oriented political parties channel their activityinto party feuds and petty debates. The electorate, in watch­ing the melee and feeling no direct results of constructiveGovernment action, turns its back and complacently blastsSG, the parties, and all their issue. No attempt is made eitherto understand or to reform.It seems to us that Student Government could effectivelyrepresent, inform, and serve the students if its members felt aconsistent responsibility to do so and set about to learn how itcould be accomplished. It is a task that required student lead­ers who are, indeed, both students and leaders.We have found two such students-and-leaders in JerryKauvar and Gary Stoll. They became interested in the re­puted state of affairs in the Government and decided to dosomething about it. With good-hearted and prodigious en­thusasm, these former members of the electorate became thefirst College independents to win seats in the SG Assemblysince 1951. Whether Kauvar&Stoll, as independents, couldor would work consistently and effectively in the Govern­ment was another matter. Alternating between the respectiveparty caucuses on Sunday nights and between sides of theGovernment floor on Tuesday nights, they proceeded to learnthe principles, policies, and means of student politics in a shorttime. They took active part in the executive committees of theGovernment, Gary as chairman of one, and Jerry as a mem­ber of another. Having chosen no favorites, these two as ateam often worked as mediators, sometimes fought both sidesat once, and constantly tried to keep students informed of theissues and transactions of the Government.Their sense of responsibility-to the electorate, to the Gov­ernment, to their studies, and to the University-earns forKauvar&Stoll our choice as Men of the Year.78Invited to referee the annual ISL-SRPbasketball game, Kauvar&Stoll dressedfor the occasion, arbited with amateurenthusiasm, won the game 51-41-41.For responsible independence, a laurel79New dorms for old and a chanceNew women's residence hall (promptly dubbed "new dorm") was hardly finished, barely fur­nished in fall when 150 girls moved in, found small joy in bare walls and functional living.

The shift seemsto reflect a basic difference of opinion about the relation be­tween sports and education on the part of the Universityadministration. Former Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins be­lieved that athletics is not an essential part of an education ora university. In 1938 he wrote, "As long as athletics is recrea­tion, it will do neither the student nor the college any harmand may do them good. When it becomes the chief interest ofthe student and a major source of income for the college, itwill prevent the student from getting an education and thecollege from giving one."Lawrence A. Kimpton, Chancellor since 1951, believes thatathletics is a proven part of education and that it belongs atChicago within its proper scope. Speaking to a group of pastand present athletes in 1956, Kimpton said, "Intercollegiateathletics, including football, is here to stay in the pattern ofAmerican education. Let us show that some sense can be madeof it by an institution that prides itself upon making sense."143Occasionally, spectators outnumber the participantsThe most controversial change of the past four years is thefootball class instituted in 1955 . Football has come to standfor the alterations made in the college program since 1951,and debate about football at Chicago tends to begin withstatements about school spirit or the function of education.Both Kimpton and "'alter Hass, director of athletics, fa\'orthe return of intercollegiate football. Nevertheless, since theCouncil of the Faculty Senate turned own such a proposal in1956, there has been no official prospect for the game's return.The change directly affecting the most students is the shiftin policy of 1956 requiring all first-year students to take threequarters of physical education, or to pass tests showing skill inthree activities. Before 1956 only early entrants were made tofulfill physical education requirements. Of this year's entrants,only about 15 per cent were excused from the requirementthrough tests.144In recent years the athletic budget has increased, althoughit is now little greater than it was in 1947. That part of thebudget which pays for baseballs, basketballs, and team travel­ing expenses has increased by one-third in two years.Owing to retirements and new appointments, the averageage of athletic staff members is now lower than it was fouryears ago, and the number of coaches has increased from nineto ten.Modest changes in facilities are another sign of the growingrole of sports on the midway. During this year lights havebeen installed around the varsity tennis courts; the basketballcourt gained a new finish and new backboards; and the netswhich contain golf practice within the fieldhouse have beenrepaired.\The mournful figure of Aristotle Schwanz (below), :'last queer kid to. leave campu_s," providespoignant counterpoint to the 1958 football class's surgmg out on Staff FIeld for a sCrimmage.146 Pure and applied football was the subject for about forty volunteer studentsenrolled in the third annual football class. Walter Hass, director of athletics,coached the volunteers into proficience for scrimmages against two small col­lege teams. Unofficially, the class failed a test against North Central, but passeda final exam against Wilson Junior with high grades.While Hass' scholars studied on Stagg Field, other students ignored classwork to conduct a spirited competition over the merits and ills of football.Early in October the Maroon ran a virulent description of Aristotle Schwanz,the fictional "last queer kid to leave campus." In this description Schwartz wassaid to hate football, "not so much for himself, but because others (who areweak) Illay become corrupted by its pernicious influence."One of the letters to the editor attacking the attacker of Schwartz said, "Isympathize fully with his desire to playa game requiring more muscle thanmost, if less brains than some."Later in the fall a national sports magazine devoted its weekly page of inter­views to the question of the return of intercollegiate football to Chicago. Themagazine quoted seven students who favored football's return, and three op­posed. It did not mention the football class, or quote any of its members.On Stagg Field, football is a game, not a topicBoth Hass and Chancellor Lawrence A. Kimptonfavor football at Chicago, but there has been no officialprospect for an actual team since 1956. In that year theCouncil of the Faculty Senate defeated a proposal tobring back football on a non-conference basis. Thefootball class thus seems likely to remain in the athleticcurriculum.Hass' better pupils this year included lineman BernieMonk, Dick Cousens, George Brennan, Ron Yezzi,Mike Kindred, and Bob Taylor, and backfield menPete Werner, Brooks Johnson, Bill Lester, and ChuckHerenda. Assisting Hass in his instruction were coachesKyle Anderson, Dale Bjorklund, and Robert Kriedler.147Team captain Ron Sutton angles a shot in toward Illinois-Navy Pier's goal.Soccer players slough through sorry seasonAs in other seasons, the soccer team suffered froma lack of practice. Only three or four players turnedout regularly, and the team met as a unit only for games.For an off-campus game with Indiana, in fact, only ninemen were ready to leave from Bartlett Gymnasium atthe prescribed time, and two other players had to becalled in order to send a minimum team.The players individually were better than their rec­ord indicates. Veterans Ron Sutton, Ron Crutchfield,Al Knight, Giovanni Giura, Roman Wirszczuk andBob Fish comprised a team nucleus of some potential.Newcomer Laszlo Ambrus played well. Another vet­eran, Ken Nordin, was among the few players whotook practice seriously.Next year might be better. Of major letter winners,only two, Knight and Sutton, will be ineligible. If theplayers turn out for practice, coach Alvar Hermanson'steam should improve as a unit. c Opp4 Lake Forest Academy 1Illinois-Navy Pier 51 Wheaton 34 Carleton 42 Lake Forest Academy 21 Earlham 81 Indiana 72 Purdue 3Final tally: 1 won, 5 lost, 2 tied148Cross country runners produce a strong finishF or the cross country team, autumn began as a seasonof rebuilding.

Comparison with the years before 1946, whenChicago belonged to the Big Ten conference, is con­jectural. This year's 11-7 mark is highly creditable,however, compared to the 1951-53 seasons, when Chi­cago lost 45 consecutive games.Adding to the stature of Stampf's achievement is theschedule his team faced. Knox, Beloit and Wabash,good small-college teams, were added to the Maroonprogram for the first time. Stampf also had to do with­out Billy Lester, record-setting scorer who completedhis collegiate eligibility in 1957.The new coach had several advantages as well. Hehad produced winning teams in junior varsity baseballIIIIIIIIIIIan old basketball recordand basketball, hence was familiar with his problemsand material. One of his best junior varsity players,John Davey, also joined the varsity this year. UnderStampf's continued tutelage he became the team's lead­ing scorer, making 272 points for a 15.1 average.Following Davey in scoring was sophomore GaryPearson, center and forward, who made 242 points fora 13.5 average. Filling out Stampf's starting team wereTed Romoser, Clarence Woods, and Paul King. JoeChisholm, John Anderson and John Satter also usuallysaw action.The Maroons finished high on the list of defensiveteams from small colleges, scoring 944 points and allow­ing 892, or 49 per game.Next year promises well for two reasons. Stampf'sentire starting team will probably return. Inexperiencedplayers, who would have sat out the season in previousyears, played a "B" schedule, winning four and losingfive. They will be competing for varsity positions nextyear. Thus Stampf seems certain to continue his win­ning record.

The ultimate epithetin his effective vocabulary was "jackass"; Stagg used it onlyin the most infuriating circumstances.In good-humored recognition of this story, the present ath­letic staff has inaugurated the Jackass Trophy, a bust of Staggawarded each Friday to the coach who has made the mostchuckle-headed blunder in the previous week. For the follow­ing six days the erring coach must retain the trophy as agenial reproof. During the year each member of the athleticstaff has received the trophy at least once.The ten award winners are a diverse group. Walter Hass isa graduate of the University of Minnesota, where he won let­ters in football and track. He has coached at the University ofManitoba, at his alma mater, and at Carleton College. He wasappointed athletic director at Chicago in 1956, following theretirement of T. Nelson Metcalf.Baseball coach Kyle Anderson played football, basketball,and baseball as an undergraduate on the Midway.

Undaunted by the loss of theirKimbark tennis courts (to the Industrial Relations Building) and the practicegolf green in Ida Noyes garden (to a parking lot), the department offers in­struction in a full range of women's sports and a number of coeducationalactivities, including bridge lessons, ballroom dancing, mixed swimming, pooland billiards, badminton, and table tennis.One informal sport in which the department does not offer instruction, butfor which Ida Noyes has facilities, is bannister-sliding down the long, smoothrails which protect the main stairway from the third to ground floors.170Women's Athletic Association Presi­dent Tiny Larsen greets enteringwomen during orientation weekmeeting in the Ida Noyes gymnasium.for instruction and participation in women's athleticsAmong other sports facilities providedin Ida Noyes Hall are a swimmingpool, gymnasium, dance room, lockers,bowling alleys (right), and a ping pongroom which doubles for use by thefencing class (above, minus tables).W AA basketballers outdo their male counterpartsMost perennially popular among \VAA-sponsored varsity groups is thebasketball team, which this year played their best season in years, winningseven out of nine games against a strong roster of opponents. The team,coached by WAA Advisor Martha Kloo, averaged 42.8 points per game,compared with their adversaries' 30.Members of the team, co-captained by forward Norma Schmidt and guardMary Lou Wickersheim, were Stefanie Schultz, Pat Tolson, Sandy Wein­berg, and Joy Wheaton, forwards; and guards Joyce Compton, Joan Krueger,Tiny Larsen, and Marlene Nelson.Three hundred girls representing 28 teams and 14 schools participated in 'VANs 23rd annualbasketball playday held in I\larch of this year.

When the Maroon broke the story last spring,cries of protest came from civic leaders and the student­faculty Committee to Save the Robie House. ArchitectWright himself (below, with Chicago Review Editor IrvRosenthal) visited Chicago, defended his work with custom­ary vigor and spice; supporters of the house cited Architec­tural Forum magazine, which called it "one of the fewer than­half a dozen houses in the world that now rank as sure master­pieces of 'modern architecture.' " Plans and counterplans wereproposed, but mutually acceptable solutions were not forth­coming-until William Zeckendorf, president of Webb andKnapp, offered to buy it for $125,000, to be used as redevelop­ment headquarters and later as a museum. The Maroon cried,"Robie House is saved!", CTS announced it would build itsapartments elsewhere, and Wright, with his usual candor,called Zeckendorf "the saviour of one of the important cor­nerstones of American culture."ITALIAN FIESTA PIZZERIA1427 EAST 67TH STREETWe've got 'em good, we deliver 'em hotPizza pie for your bull session or get-together3 PHONES:MU 4-1014MU 4-1015MU 4-9022 Give us a ring and we'll deliver!5:00 p.m, to 3:00 a.m,7 days a weekNo delivery charge on orders of $2.00 or more in vicinity of University183ADDING TO �YDE PARK'S184PROUD TRADITION • • •. . . old-fashioned community pride and technological know­how are the essential ingredients for Hyde Park redevelop­ment.
