Vol. 4, No. 30 Z-149 Friday, February 9, 1945VILLA-LOBOS WILL APPEAR Price Five Cents'Curtain at 8:30Dorms Call OnCommuters To Expect Large Throngs At PlayAdopt StandAwaitinj? official commuter action,dormitory representatives markedtime in their Wednesday night meet¬ing. At the outset of the discussionit was requested by the chairman,William Washington, that no motionshe made and no plans adopted untilafter the commuters have met on thesixteenth.Discussion was devoted to consider¬ation of possible methods of repre¬sentation in a student government.Six student-drafted plans were readand widely criticized by the assembly.One of these plans cite a need fortwo separate student organizations,a Council of Student Organizationsto promote social and cultural activi¬ties and a separate Student Council.Two of the other plans saw need forrepresentation of “special interestgroups’' in a student organization.It was argued by several that anysystem providing for commuter anddormitory representatives would wi¬den the breech between these twogroups. The way to eliminate dorm-commuter friction, they contended,was by providing for a campus-widegeneral election of representatives.In answer to this argument, oppo¬nents held that the dormitory andcommuter group distinction offeredthe most natural and efficient basisfor representation. Furthermore theysaid, such distinction would not widenthe breach, but would be the onlyhonest way to solve the problems ofintegration.A need to define the powers of stu¬dent government was also expressedduring the meeting. An example ofone of the potential functions was thechartering of student activities. Theseactivities now receive recognition fromthe Office of the Dean.Although many opinions were airedat the Wednesday meeting, positiveaction toward the formation of stu¬dent government will remain at astand-still until the commuters or¬ganize. The next meeting, one ofboth dormitory and official commuterrepresentatives will be held on Wed¬nesday, February 21, in the BurtonEast Lounge. “The Inspector General”, Gogol’sbiting satire on small town politics,will be presented by the Office ofDramatic Productions, in Mandel Hall,Friday and Saturday nights at eight-thirty.

And it is thus altogether likelythat announcement of a formation of a veterans council on thecampus in last week^s journal was given either the cold shoulderor passed over without a second glance.Actually, establishment of the council is much more than astraw in the wind and poses the most momentous development inrecent weeks as regards post-war adjustment of veterans on thecampus. President Hutchins’ assertion that more care should betaken by the army in selecting prospective students under the GIplan was the first gun fired in the campaign. The veterans havenow taken the matter into their own hands.It is certainly not a military secret to report that the Univer¬sity policy has in the past and will probably continue to turn a coldshoulder to select and exclusive pressure or social groups. Yet,the veterans council is thriving under a benevolent smile. Theadministrative authorities are well aware that such a council,springing from the veterans themselves and from their interests,can command far more influence than the most laudable andpraiseworthy projects which might be passed down from on high.It is to be hoped, however, that the Chicago group will notdon the garb of a high-riding hell-bent elite social unit that similargroups have become at other universities. The club’s five pointprogram built on the solid bedrock of readjustment of the veteranis a most praiseworthy one.Othe^ students at the University can well take a page fromthe veterans’ book. This group, without .the usual fumbling, hastaken direct and constructive action to provide itself with themachinery for dealing with its own problems. There was nopassing of the buck to others for those necessary solutions.Civilian students should do no less in terms of student government.Student Health, A Service?Mr. Lowenstern’s letter about Student Health Service in an¬other column brings into focus a lamentable and serious conditionwhich has existed so long on campus that it assumes the proportionof a tradition. There is scarcely a student, who has been at theUniversity for a quarter or more, who doesn’t possess his personalrepetoire of hair-raising tales regarding Student Health. Likeother traditions, many of the stories are losing their factualsignificance and are rapidly becoming part of local mythology.However, there is still ample reason for each and every studenton campus who pays his health fee to ask why it is necessary foranyone desiring a complete physical examination to wait threeweeks for an appointment, or why people have to make their owndiagnoses before being admitted to see a doctor. We refer, ofcourse, to the query of the admission desk, “What is wrong withyou and why do you want to see a doctor?” Furthermore, it iscompletely logical for a student to ask why Student Health offersno dental service or an extremely limited optometrical service.The University is a large community and should possessmedical facilities commensurate with such a community. It isespecially ironical when one notes that the Medical School andBillings Hospital have some of the greatest names in the professionon their staffs and some of the most significant developments inmedical science have stemmed from the University laboratories.Then, why should a girl who is in a chronic state of lassitudebe told that she is too fat and eats too much, when a more competentdiagnosis showed a serious anemia. Can it be that the studenthealth fee doesn’t meet the costs of maintaining adequate servicefor all students, many of whom are from outside Chicago and,therefore, completely dependent upon the University? Or is it,rather, incompetent direction and supervision that allows inad¬equate service and, in some cases, outright discrimination to con¬tinue year after year? By all means, this is a matter for immedi¬ate administrative action. THE CHICAGO K<AR66N —^^Kuth DraperScintillates^ ”Avers CriticThe transformations of Ruth Dra¬per, who appeared in Mandel Hall lastFriday night, seem magical. Yet herart is, in truth, mightier than thatof Houdini, for the strongest illusionsshe presents do not depend on ap¬paratus.Miss Draper herself belongs to theconservative branch of New Yorksociety, and her sketches of those inthe “upper brackets” delighted theaudience, as always, but fully asagreeably received were the othermonologues. First of the six was anold English countess opening a ba¬zaar. As the scene gradually ma¬terialized, this woman, addressingcharacters right and left, captivatedevery eye and kept them all upon her,without exception, until, adjusting forthe fiftieth time her boa, and wavingher lorgnette, she moved from thestage.She returned a moment later asluncheon hostess to a quartette ofw6men at a restaurant in the sketchentitled “Doctors and Diets.” Thirtyyears experience fairly jumped outwith each utterance—all framed inthe material which she writes her¬self. This was followed by a domesticcourt scene involving three genera¬tions. Here the vehicle of portrayalwas masterful, but the content didnot live up to those sketches pre-ceeding or following it. The younggirl in this sketch presented, per¬haps, the most persuasive appeal ofthe three.A final trio, chosen, as Miss Drapercommented later, for their variety,had first the seacaptain’s wife ontheir porch in Maine, and then thedebutante. They were both supurb.The Maine sketch is as famous asher “Three Women and Mr. Clifford.”I have no doubt that these two wouldhave brought a less-conservative audi¬ence to its feet.In 1913 she composed a French warsketch which found its perfect sequelin 1940. This she chose for her lastappearance. Onto the stage in blackpeasant costume came a Frenchsoldier’s wife prepared to bid himadieu as he set sail for the Dovercoast from Brittany. Speaking inFrench she seccessively comforted themother-in-law and portrayed therendezvous with great feeling.And so Miss Draper, carrying hersmall bundle of hats, shawls, andcoats, took leave, but when shechooses to return, a capacity housewill await her, awaiting another mar¬velously rich evening of entertain¬ment.Austrian Film OnDocumetary ScheduleThe Documentary Film Group issponsoring the famous Austrian psy¬chological film, THE ETERNALMASK, in Social Science 122, Tues-'day, February 13 at 8 p.m. This fic¬tion film is one of the best and mostwidely approved psychological filmsever produced.This is a film of the mind’s twistsand illusions.

' ■ — —————Friday, February 9, lojcLetters to EditorStudent Health ServiceIs Denounced as FarceTo the Editor:The purpose of this letter is to expose the farce of the StudentHealth Service to the members of the University and to demandaction in rectifying the wrongs committed in the operation of thisservice. I have heard little good spoken of the Health Servicesince I entered the University in September, 1943, but never hadoccasion to verify this hearsay until the past week.On Monday, January 29, I went tothe Health Service, with what I con¬sidered a bad cold. I saw Dr. D. B.Reed, head of the service, who pre¬scribed the customary rubber-stampedcures for me without any examination,without even so much as taking mytemperature, and then sent me on myway.On Wednesday, the 31st, I went toa private physician, who, after a com¬plete physical examination, includingan X-ray, diagnosed my “cold” asvirus pneumonia. This physician saidthat I could have been cured muchsooqer than the expected two weeks ifmy “cold” had been properly diagnosedby means of examination on Monday.The purpose of Student Health is tohelp students keep fit in order toattend classes, not to lull them into afalse sense of security by means ofwrong diagnoses and sheer negligence,thus causing them to miss even moreclasses. sonal rights and liberties of the Uni¬versity community.Second: Fundamentally, Hutchinshas sensed the moral and civil demandsof the University community, i.e., thestudent body, in its relationship to thefaculty, i.e., the Senate. He has con-trivuted the manumission of the stu¬dent body from the absolutism of thefaculty, and it is to be hoped that heawaits only the propitious momentwhen he will establish a Peoples’ Courtand a Court of Appeal for the studentbody as well as a legislative assembly.There is no segment of our popula¬tion which is impressed with greaterresponsibilities than the age grouprepresented in the student body of aUniversity, and none which have fewerrights or voice. The student body hasno Magna Charta as a guarantee ofits fundamental liberties as people; noday in court, no right of appeal, norright of counsel.The Student Health Service, becauseof the action described above, andbecause of others of similar nature,is not representative of the so-calledinstitution of higher learning of whichit is a part. The University shouldinvestigate this condition and correctit as soon as possible.With the hope that this letter willbe published so as to expose this con¬dition to aR concerned, I amYour truly,Edward S. LowensternCollege-4PRO HUTCHINS(Ed. Note: We reprint the followingletter, written by a graduate studentin the Political Science Department,believing that it will prove of interestto the student body at large.) Hutchins is a buffer between theimpact of absolutism of the facultyand the student body, i.e., the masses.Every innovation introduced by himhas inured to the benefit of the masses,and lessens the grip of the facultyupon the student. Some day he maytake the epitome of reforms he hasinstituted and say to the student:“Here, sonny! Here’s your Bill ofRights!”William N.

This, of course, is valid,but I see the case of University ofChicago vs. Hutchins as a conflict ofideologies similar to what is transpir¬ing in political governments today.It is the resurgence of the masses, i.e.,faculty, already strongly intrenchedand immoveable; the latter empoweredwith directives with which the massesmust comply.First, to emphasize the analogy be¬tween the school government and acivil or political government: the gov¬erned, i.e., the student body, must bevested with some of the devices andprocesses of democracy. No political,economical, or ecclesiastical absolutismhas ever ruled with such rigorousbigotry as a college faculty; and theiredicts, curriculum, and bulls have comedown to us through the ages with littleor no change. Left to their own voli¬tion, they would still serve as a classi¬cal example of medieval feudalismturning out automatons.

In¬coming students are particularly in¬vited by Art club officials to thesketching class, and to the teas heldevery Friday afternoon at 4:30 inGoodspeed Hail for which a series ofinteresting talks on the various as¬pects of art are being planned.Friday, February 9, 1945Book StuffTwo works of what may be genius, which have not received as muchattention as they deserve, are the books.of drawings by William Steig entitled“The Lonely Ones” and “All Embarrassed”. (An earlier book “About People”,does not quite put Mr. Steig in the genius league.) The author is better knownas a cartoonist, but these drawings are of a higher order. Verbal descriptionsof them are futile, but since they are vital to everyone’s spiritual welfare,it is my duty to make the attempt.Mr. Steig has managed, in “The LonelyOnes”, to picture states of mind orobsessions with startling adroitness.“All Embarrassed” is more special¬ized; the main title of each picturebeing “Embarrassment,” but Steig hasmade this a bigger book than theother. The technique is somewhat dif¬ferent, mainly in that the drawingsare more literal. This makes themeasier to understand, in a sense, butthey are no longer so much “pureinvestigation of the spirit” as abstrac¬tions from types of minor situationsin which we all frequently find our¬selves.As it seems to have become anaxiom of the humor business that nosatire is up-to-date unless it showsthe frustration a modern man due tothe machine age, a forward to thiseffect has dutifully been provided.Please ignore it. The “props” aretwentieth century in contrast to “TheLonely Ones”, which has no props, butthat shouldn’t fool anyone for a min¬ute. Most of the forms of embarrass¬ment are dependent only on long-established social patterns, and manywould be recognized by the Cro-Mag¬nons.There are also some grotesque draw¬ings whose relation to the topic istenuous, and they are very good, too.(Note: Mr. Steig’s work leaves somepeople cold. If you are one of these,don’t expect any sympathy from thisquarter.)F.

It consists of nearlytwo hundred contemporarily illus¬trated books, all of which have beenloaned to the exhibit by the variouscampus libraries.The object of the exhibition, thesponsors stated, is to bring to theattention of the public, the impor¬tant role contemporary artists play inmodern bookmaking.

Its serious, almost philo¬sophical approach to jazz is com¬mendable; in Paul Miller’s “MainCurrents of Jazz” we have a fresh,intelligent attitude toward jazz as anart. Discarding the old classificationsof the styles according to geogra^i-cal situations (the New Orleans style,the Chicago style, the Kansas Citystyle, etc.) Miller presents divisionsbased on emotional attitudes of theartists, having concluded that thefundamental characteristic of jazz isits reflection of the musician’s emo¬tional attitude towards society. Theseattitudes he classifies under the fiveheadings of the Blues, the Romantic,the Lyric, the Decadent, and the Pro¬test, with various instrumentalistslisted under each. While he does failto attain the degree of clarity neces¬sary for complete conviction, the ap¬proach is certainly fresh and inter¬esting.The “all star jazz bands” selectedby Esquire’s “board of experts” re¬main a farce, in view of the selectionof the voters, not to mention the nottoo subtle tampering with the votes.The small but fierce internal jazzwar rages on, paradoxically, withintensity equal to that of the externalcampaign for popular appreciation.Jazz Quarterly’s Chicago Issue hasrecently been released and is sold oncampus at the University and Wood¬worth’s Book Stores. We have here32 pages of “what happened to jazzin Chicago” from the eyes of the mu¬sician, the critic, and the interestedbystander. Charles Payne Rogers an¬alyzes “The Chicago Style”; pianistTut Soper reveals his personal “Phi¬losophy of Chicago Jazz”; two womenwho married Chicago clarinetists andwho were intimately associated withthe jazz world reveal what they ob¬served on the scene. Kay Jacobsontells of her Bud and the rest of thegang at the Golden Pumpkin, andPriscilla Boyden Rushton recalls thefabulous sessions at Squirrel Ash-kraft’s house. Pianist Leonard Tris-tano brings the scene up to the pres¬ent in “What’s Wrong with ChicagoJazz Today.”Acompanenos... Have a Coke(JOIN US) .

IF Betty Stearns Page FiveSidelights on FootlightsIn attempting to come to any conclusion on the merits of theexperimental theatre group's production, two weeks ago, this re¬viewer finds herself in a peculiarly subjective position. It would,therefore, be advantageous to quote passages from a letter receivedlast week, giving a few major criticisms.The gentleman says^ “I will notventure to speculate too much on thehidden merits of Noel Coward’s oneact play, “The Astonished Heart,”which was produced by th« new ex¬perimental group. That it was suc¬cessful, the students should knowfrom the outset. . . The acting in gen¬eral, showed an inspired understand¬ing of a careless pattern. The con¬versation between Barbara and Leo¬nora in the second scene was theweakest in the play. It should havebeen performed in a gradually risingtempo of voices and movements. Muchas I liked Chris’ jumping out of thewindow, the logic and emotions werepoorly developed ... On the otherhand, the talk between Barbara andChris was a beautiful achievement,and Leonora and Chris in the fifthscene were very effective in theirhighly unconventional and powerfulacting.”The performance, in short, was notso good that the participants needdo no more work, nor was it so medi¬ocre that they need be ashamed. Asis to be expected, if the “Astonished Heart” were given again, it would beimproved considerably. The board ofexperts who gave their opinions fol¬lowing the show were constructive intheir criticisms of the acting as wellas the directing.Now that the organization is wellunder way, the campus has a right toexpect some inspiring theatre stem¬ming from this quarter. The chal¬lenge to both audience and actors stillexists, and, as always, it needs yoursupport.On February 16 under the direc¬tion of Robert Carter “PrometheusBound” will be given. Guest criticsat that time will be David Grene ofthe Greek Department, and Tennes¬see Williams, author of “The GlassMenagerie”. In March, two puppetplays by Kreymbourg will be present¬ed, followed by Strindberg’s, “TheStronger” and scenes from “VictoriaRegina.” The only discouraging thingabout the tryouts held for these pro¬ductions is that almost no men at¬tended, which makes casting difficult.FOR RESERVATIONS PLAZA 9088Recommended by "Around the Town"—MORTON'SHyde Park's Leading Steak House5487 LAKE PARK AYENUkYou Won't WantTo MisslEdna Ferber's Great SonA study of four generations of an American family with the usualvivid Ferber characters.John Steinbeck's Cannery RowA California story in which Steinbeck creates some new charactersfor American folklore.Elliot Paul's I'll Hate Myself in the Morningand Summer in DecemberTwo mystery novels with some of the same familiar characters youmet in the Mysterious Mickey Finn.A.

The past weekend’s action against Minnesota,Purdue, Northwestern and Wisconsin resulted in Minnesota’s win¬ning the meet, the Badgers placing and Northwestern, plus Purdueand Chicago taking the roles of also rans. A mutual agreementwith the various coaches before the meet allowed Chicago to runin all events but its points were not to be allowed. The agreementhad little or no meaning as the inexperienced Maroons failed toplace.Saturday’^ contest with Wayne,while lacking in big names, should re¬sult in a more interesting meet, basingpossible results on the size of Wayneand the caliber of Chicago. Merriam’sentries against the other Big Tenschools, who competed against olderand much more experienced perform¬ers, turned in some fairly creditabletimes and distances considering theearliness of the meet in regard to theindoor season.Good Time in HOHank Altpeter, Northwestern’smainstay, ran a good quarter in thelow fifties, the winning broad jumpcame close to 21 feet, a Minnesotaman cleared the high jump bar at 6feet four inches and there were severalother events in which the Maroonswere sadly outclassed.There is a good chance that thiswill not be the case against theWaynemen who are reported to be, asa squad, on much the same footing asthe University thinclads.Director of Athletics-Kyle An¬derson has invited all prospectivebaseball candidates to meet at theField House Monday from 12 to 2p.m., or to contact him.

We’llonly mention one and to us thisis the main reason: according tothe Chicago plan, students gettheir degrees after two years ofcollege, they are then finishedwith University sports, but thisis not the case with other BigTen schools who have men intheir junior and senior years whoare 20 to 23. It stands to reasonthen that the added experienceof 2, 3 or even 5 years will makea big difference in athletic com¬petition.«An added word on the above: giveBokman, Horton, Russell or Fried-lander another couple of years.
