Atpresent, every applicant must bevoted on by the Club council, and twoadverse votes are sufficient to rejectthe application.The present provision allowingblackball of applicants who are notmembers of the University would beretained. Other changes proposed in¬clude the extension (jf club privilegesto all adults of the members’ families,instead of to their wives only.The proposed amendments havebeen initiated by W, C. Allee, A. J.Carlson, G. V. Cox, C. W. Gilkey,Walter Johnson, Robert Redfield, W.L. Warner, H. N. Wieman, andLouis Wirth.Last year’s rejection of the mem¬bership application of Gordon Dupee,Research Director of the UniversityRadio Office, caused serious protestsby certain members of the club, andresulted in the resignation of Presi-#dent Hutchins. Caniff, in wiring his selection toSigma Chi Sweetheart chairman, as¬serted that after studying the photo¬graphs *T felt as I had just lookedthrough the personal wallets of 20brothers.

Botanist Gets1-Year LeaveFor Army PostUniversities EstablishedFor Servicemen OverseasBy ALAN J. STRAUSS(Exclusive to THE CHICAGOMAROON)Merle C. Coulter, Professor ofBotany and Chairman of Biolog¬ical Sciences 3 in the College,has been called overseas forArmy educational work, THECHICAGO MAROON learnedyesterday from official Washing¬ton sources.Professor Coulter, nationally emi¬nent biologist who is now in Washing¬ton, but will return to Chicago be¬fore leaving the United States, willjoin the faculty of an Army univer¬sity to be established at Shrivenham,England, for troops stationed in theEuropean theater of operations.Classes for 4,000 service men andwomen are scheduled to begin late inJuly.

While the Uni¬versity has constantly maintainedthat comprehensive examinations area means to an end and not an end inthemselves, it is unquestionably truethat the final examination today oc¬cupies a more prominent role in theUniversity scheme of things thanever before.The current college curriculum hasbeen founded on the tenet that aliberal education will prepare an in¬dividual for citizenship in a demo¬cratic society. Furthermore, we haveaserted that students are not capableof selecting the courses of study whichshould comprise said education,and therefore such courses should bedetermined by men of experience andtraining.Under such premises, the fears offailing a comprehensive examinationand the psychology of the comprehen-sives have become completely falla¬cious and misleading. If studentsfail in college, it is the CMlege whichhas failed, for the admnistration hasasserted that every man can absorba liberal education.If students do not appear to havethe ability to comprehend the courses,then the methods of teaching are atfault. If they possess the ability butrefuse to make the necessary effort,as is often charged, it is then the re¬sponsibility of the College to con¬vince them of the necessity andurgency for making that effort.The cry of education in Americafor nearly a generation has been thatstudents must have the opportunityto make choices. Such a platformis a hollow mockery, for choices areuseless if they are not made intelli¬gently. If, as this University hasmaintained, studeniis cannot selectthe courses they should take, we maythen ask whether they can be expectedto choose to study the courses so care¬fully outlined for them?For unless the necessity of obtain¬ing such an education is perfectlyevident, a student weighs the possi¬bilities of hard work and no profit,and little work and no profit. Thechoice is an obvious one.It is incumbent upon the facultyand the administration to clarify thenwessity and to make students ofthe University understand that thechoice is not one of work or no work,but of profit and success, or of lossand failure.CHICAGO MAROONOfficial student publication of the Uni-Tsity of Chicaso published every Friday dur-t Uie academic quarters.

Letters to EditorUniversity Masks TuitionHike With Subterfuge, 27Students Claim In LetterTo the Editor:The recent increase in tuition and fees to become effectivenext quarter has provoked discussion leading to crystallizationof the following points.1. Tuition as such has been raised from $100 to $110, and fees havebeen raised from a former minimum of $6 to a flat $20 per quarter. If theUniversity feels that it is entitled to such a large increase in tuition, whyput so much of it under the guise of “fees”? The fact that graduation,thesis, and laboratory fees have been eliminated by this new proceduremeans almost nothing to most students who, in the course of four years,will have paid far more in this manner than before.2. Most students believe that the present practice of pro-rating labora¬tory courses for which a student is registered is equitable. If the Universityneeds more money, we are sure that those students taking laboratory courseswould agree that it would be more justifiable to increase their fees than torequire students not in the sciences to pay for that which they will notreceive. Laboratory fees should continue to be pro-rated.3.The new tuition scale will tend virtually to discourage those studentswho find it necessary to work and can take only one course at a time.No one will dispute the right of the University to raise tuition by $5 percourse, but to charge a $20 fee for one course when other students pay thesame fee for three or four courses is more than a little unfair. For threecourses at that rate, it amounts to paying $180 as opposed to $130, if thesecourses were taken simultaneously. Here again fees ought to be pro-ratedaccording to the number of courses for which a student is registered atthe time. If the purpose of this inequitable distribution of fees is todiscourage the part time student entirely, we believe this action inconsistentwith the expressed ideals of this university.4.Tuition in University College is up by $5 per course also, but feesare up from a minimum of $2 (if no laboratory course is taken) to a flat $10.For some students this amounts to an increase of 500% and for thosetaking one laboratory course, to an increase of 200^ in fees. Students in.University College rarely take more than one course per quarter; some ad¬justment obviously ought to be made.5. The alleged increase in funds for tuition aid cannot possibly coverall those who need aid as a result of the announced raise in tuition fees.In addition, these funds may be applied toward'neither the so-called “fee,”nor the tuition of theThe reactions ofthe above five points,Sylvan DourIIsRuth HoffberREllen O’ConnorRobert DelRadoMartin CahenslikMax B.

Other changes proposed in¬clude the extension of club privilegesto all adults of the members’ families,instead of to their wives only.The proposed amendments havebeen initiated by W. C. Allee, A. J.Carlson, G. V. Cox, C. W. Gilkey,Walter Johnson, Robert Redfield, W.L. Warner, H. N. Wieman, andLouis Wirth.Last year’s rej/ection of the mem¬bership application of Gordon Dupee,Research Director of the UniversityRadio Office, caused serious protestsby certain members of the club, andresulted in the resignation of Presi¬dent Hutchins. Caniff, in wiring his selection toSigma Chi Sweetheart chairman, as¬serted that after studying the photo¬graphs *T felt as I had just lookedthrough the personal wallets of 20brothers.

Maroon staff car¬toonist George Armstrong penned abrilliant caricature of the Board ofExaminers in the midst of concoctingfurther devilry and tarnation for U. ofC. undergraduates. While the Uni¬versity has constantly maintainedthat comprehensive examinations area means to an end and not an end inthemselves, it is unquestionably truethat the final examination today oc¬cupies a more prominent role in theUniversity scheme of things thanever before.The current college curriculum hasbeen founded on the tenet that aliberal education will prepare an in¬dividual for citizenship in a demo¬cratic society. Furthermore, we haveaserted that students are not capableof selecting the courses of study whichshould comprise said education,and therefore such courses should bedetermined by men of experience andtraining.Under such premises, the fears offailing a comprehensive examinationand the psychology of the comprehen-sives have become completely falla¬cious and misleading. If studentsfail in college, it is the College whichhas failed, for the admnistration hasasserted that every man can absorba liberal education.If students do not appear to havethe ability to comprehend the courses,then the methods of teaching are atfault. If they possess the ability butrefuse to make the necessary effort,as is often charged, it is then the re¬sponsibility of the College to con¬vince them of the necessity andurgency for making that effort.The cry of education in Americafor nearly a generation has been thatstudents must have the opportunityto make choices. Such a platformis a hollow mockery, for choices areuseless if they are not made intelli¬gently. If, as this University hasmaintained, studeniis cannot selectthe courses they should take, we maythen ask whether they can be expectedto choose to study the courses so care¬fully outlined for them?For unless the necessity of obtain¬ing such an education is perfectlyevident, a student weighs the possi¬bilities of hard work and no profit,and little work and no profit. Thechoice is an obvious one.It is incumbent upon the facultyand the administration to clarify thenecessity and to make students ofthe University understand that thechoice is not one of work or no work,but of profit and success, or of lossand failure.

Letters to EditorUniversity Masks TuitionHike With Subterfuge# 27Students Claim In LetterTo the Editor:The recent increase in tuition and fees to become effectivenext quarter has provoked discussion leading to crystallizationof the following points.1. Tuition as such has been raised from $100 to $110, and fees havebeen raised from a former minimum of $6 to a flat $20 per quarter. If theUniversity feels that it is entitled to such a large increase in tuition, whyput so much of it under the guise of “fees”? The fact that graduation,thesis, and laboratory fees have been eliminated by this new proceduremeans almost nothing to most students who, in the course of four years,will have paid far more in this manner than before.2. Most students believe that the present practice of pro-rating labora¬tory courses for which a student is registered is equitable. If the Universityneeds more money, we are sure that those students taking laboratory courseswould agree that it would be more justifiable to increase their fees than torequire students not in the sciences to pay for that which they will notreceive. Laboratory fees should continue to be pro-rated.3. The new tuition scale will tend virtually to discourage those studentswho find it necessary to work and can take only one course at a time.No one will dispute the right of the University to raise tuition by $6 percourse, but to charge a $20 fee for one course when other students pay thesame fee for three or four courses is more than a little unfair. For threecourses at that rate, it amounts to paying $180 as opposed to $130, if thesecourses were taken simultaneously. Here again fees ought to be pro-ratedaccording to the number of courses for which a student is registered atthe time. If the purpose of this inequitable distribution of fees is todiscourage the part time student entirely, we believe this action inconsistentwith the expressed ideals of this university.4. Tuition in University College is up by $6 per course also, but feesare up from a minimum of $2 (if no laboratory course is taken) to a flat $10.For some students this amounts to an increase of 600% and for thosetaking one laboratory course, to an increase of 200% in fees. Students inUniversity College rarely take more than one course per quarter; some ad¬justment obviously ought to be made.5. The alleged increase in funds for tuition aid cannot possibly coverall those who need aid as a result of the announced raise in tuition fees.In addition, these funds may be applied toward neither the so-called “fee,”nor the tuition of the part-time student.The reactions of students and faculty to this statement, as set forth inthe above five points, are invited by the undersigned.-Ann DorrissettMarion AndersonHelen K.
