Through cus¬tom and convention Nu Pi ceased being anacademic honorary years'ago.The group’s change, however, from a purelyacademic honor to a forum was one that both¬ered nobody. Even after the change there werenever found in Nu Pi the ugly racial and re¬ligious prejudices prevailing in many of thesocial clubs. Election was determined byleadership in the more important social andservice organizations and was not restrictedto those who were merely white, gentile, andaffiliated with a club. In short, Nu Pi was re¬spected and supported by the student bodybecause it represented intelligent student’opinion from all sections of the campus.In the past two or three years, liowever, ourSenior Women’s Honorary has been under¬going another change which is turning theorganization, as one member put it the other day, into nothing more than an exclusive sup¬per club. The strong leadership that was oncethe hallmark of Nu Pi is now practically non¬existent. The individual members themselvesare still sincere, intelligent girls, but no morethan three or four of them can, by any stretch■ of the imagination, be called student leaders.Time was when Nu Pi meetings were forumsfor the discussion* of important student prob¬lems. Nowadays the members sit around andwonder vaguely what can be done about“school spirit.’’ Formerly the Nu Pi well un¬derstood that “school spirit” Js something thatis never lacking on any college campus, butthat purpose and direction for this “spirit”were frequently absent. They also understoodthat the traditional function of their organi¬zation was ta provide this purpose and direc¬tion. And provide it they did because they hadthe respect of the campus atHarge.Today not one student in tlen has ever heardof a Senior Women’s Honorary, and this is notbecause Nu Pi has maintained its tradition ofcareful avoidance of all publicity, but simplybecause it has had nothing significant to offerthe campus.

Wehave witnessed—perhaps unknowingly—the most spectacularintellectual reversal in the long and brilliant history of science.The realization that the responsibility of the scientist mustnecessarily extend beyond the confines of the laboratory is oneof the most epoch-making events in the intellectual history ofour time.The atom bomb poses to education and to science its greatestchallenge. Our political leadership today is morally bankrupt.The great tragedy of our time is the lack of greatness at thehour for greatness. Ill prepared though they are by nature andby their training to assume the leadership to which they havefallen heir, a leadership largely by default, science, has re¬sponded to the challenge.This University has come to the realization that ostrich-likeit cannot bury its head in the sand to avoid the passing realitiesof the day. The response of the scientists has been heartening.Unknown to many, the University of Chicago, in collaborationwith most of the nation’s scientists, is sponsoring one of themost vociferous and hardest hitting lobbies in Washington.But it is a new type of pressure group; it seeks the unadornedtruth.The problem of the atom-bomb to this University is three¬fold. It involves first and fundamentally political leadership. Itis tremendously important that our statesmen and the publicbe made to understand the significance of The Bomb in thepresent and in the future. If we are to avoid catstrophe, it isessential that the scientists make it plain that there is no secretto atomic fission; that in unlocking the atom we have the keytora golden age of peaceful economic prosperity^, and that it isimmoral and impossible for any nation to claim priority or a“sacred trust” of knowledge which is of significance to all man¬kind. It is not an easy task. The public and the Congress arephysically and mentally tired; they are suspicious of educatorsand their motives. But never in history has mankind neededintellectual leadership so badly. We cannot escape those re¬sponsibilities.It should be equally evident that scientific research cannotbe stymied by further delays in policy. The rigid control whichthe government has proposed to maintain over research is in¬tolerable. The scientists should make it clearly known that theywll refuse to continue their governmental investigations—either for peace or war purposes—if their academic freedomsare violated..The University has a further responsibility to the studentsthemselves. The titanic struggle which has been waged at thisUniversity for over a decade over the relative merits of special¬ized science as opposed Iko generalized education is fast ap¬proaching an end. By the acknowledgement that it cannotescape the responsibility for the social implications of its ex¬periments science has confessed that a liberal, general educationis the groundwork for peace and democratic citizenship. Manis a political animal.Similarly, as science advances to new frontiers a greaterneed for specialization becomes apparent. We shall have toreconstruct our educational structure. An education which endsat the age of 20 simply will not be adequate in the atom-bombage. The great truth that education is an unending lifetimeprocess has now become strikingly apparent. Editorial of WeekCensorsKipBan FearedAt PrincetonFree speech oh every campusis the rightful heritage of everygeneration, the editor of thePRINCETON BULLETINsaid this week after administra¬tive authorities announced sup¬port of a policy which wouldinvoke “blue penciling” of Nas¬sau publications.The graduate council of theUniversity had recommended that“only a policy of blue pencil inregard to student publications cansave the University a red face.”Content of many publications “hasbeen in bad taste,” said the report.The reply of the Princeton edi¬tor to the proposed censorship fol¬lows;“We, primarily as budding jour¬nalists, and secondly as under¬graduates are inclined to agreewith the lone dissenting voice onthe Graduate Council Committeeon Undergraduate Activities, Mr.Furman (a member of the Com¬mittee), who said undergraduatepublications must be free of ad¬ministration or faculty control.“Mr. Furman went* on to saythat only complete freedom of ex¬pression can give the experienceof shouldering responsibility, andonly the unhampered right tospeak out can maintain under¬graduate morale. Free speech onthe campus is the rightful heritageof .the present generation.“There are, probably, two sidesto the argument. The rest of thecommittee states that ‘use of agood blue pencil can do much tosave the University a red face.*“But freedom of speech is notonly the heritage of the presentgeneration, it is an inalienableright owned by all generations inAmerica, and it is one which mustremain undisputed. To have theonly means of expressing them¬selves denied the undergraduatebody is encroaching upon theserights.“If all publications ostensiblyrun by students are controlled byNassau Hall, then they cease to beundergraduate publications. If theyretain their identity, then it ismerely the University’s position tosee that their subject matter doesnot become pornographic in na¬ture, but, beyond those - bounds,the University should have nocontrol. Freedom of the press andfreedom of speech must be heldsacred above all other things.”« * *Sound AdviceThe editor -of the MinnesotaDaily had sound advice yesterdayfor the editor of an M. U. humormagazine.His editorial follows:^“An editorial appearing in theNovember Ski-U-Mah (a humormagazine), goes into a two-columnharangue attacking the Univer¬sity’s night life social program.It says:“It adds up to this. This Uni¬versity has not adequately pro¬vided facilities for the primaryAmerican social function, the date.The namby-pamby sun-up to sun¬down system is no good. And,until someone highup solves thiscampus-wide problem, the publicwill continue to hear of studentsdrunk in bars, rules broken infraternities and sororities.”The Daily offers a simple solu¬tion: Sleep. Many persons try itfrom time to time. And a littlesleep might help the Skum edi¬torial board to write somethinghpftpr than curb adole<;rent drivel.Then, too, students are here os¬tensibly for an education. Techniques ♦ ♦ *Now see here, I want my child to be normal!Abe KrashEducational andOtherwise . . .Princeton University is embroiled in one of those neat littledilemmas that confront every University newspaper at one timeor another. The administration has signatured a report whichrecommends a policy of enlightened censorship “to preventembarrassment to the institution.” The editor of the PrincetonBulletin and his staff are indignant.This is not the first time that aUniversity administration has at¬tempted to suppress editorial free¬dom in a college newspaper. It isa tragic paradox, for liberty is thefoundation for any enquiry intothe truth, and it is the truth whichis the bedrock upon which anyUniversity must be founded.This problem is the fundamentalissue confronting college newspa¬per editors today. What should bethe polVcy of a University news¬paper in the modem world? Howeffective can its policies be in themoulding of student opinion?What are the significant issueswith which a college newspapermust deal? Even more funda¬mentally, what is the function ofa University newspaper on anycampus?In recent weeks, the editors ofTHE MAROON have come to gripswith the same stubborn ques¬tions. The issue of editorial sanc¬tity is, however, not the questionhere that it is at Princeton. Sinceits inception in 1898 the Universityhas been committed to the policythat THE MAROON shall be per¬mitted maximum freedom. Such apolicy presupposes, of necessity,the essential integrity of the edi¬tors and a devotion to the Uni¬versity and to the principles forwhich it stands.If a college newspaper has thefreedom, therefore, as THE MA¬ROON does, to consider the rela¬tive merits of an issue withoutregard to its origin, it may be saidto have editorial freedom. Theeditorial policy of THE MAROONhas been founded upon that con¬viction. We have disagreed andwe will continue to disagree withthe administration on certain is¬sues confronting the University.The problem then is not somuch one of a crusade for free¬dom from control, for the freedomalready exists, but it is the morechallenging question of a positivepolicy.• • *Any newspaper is a service. Itsfirst reason d’etre is the dissemi¬nation of news. A Universitynewspaper has the additional re¬sponsibility of serving as a train¬ing ground for prospective jour¬ nalists and offering a sufficientlyattractive program so as to consti¬tute a student activity. And justas every newspaper, a collegiatejournal must provide editorialleadership.It is fallacious to argue that anynewspaper must mirror opinion. Ithas been well said that one mustnever underestimate the intelli¬gence of the public, nor ever over¬estimate its knowledge. As such,I do not believe that it is possiblefor the policy of a Universitynewspaper to merely reflect thewidely divergent opinions of thehundreds of groups on a largecampus. The problem is to lendcohesion and leadership to thoseopinions.Any issue which is of signifi¬cance to the University should beof significance to the college news¬paper. I do not believe it out ofplace, therefore, for THE MA¬ROON to probe into such prob¬lems as the question of the pro¬motion of professors and the basisfor such promotions. The prob¬lem of the content of the curricu¬lum, the aim and scope of studentactivities, the University’s positionin the political sphere, and thequestion of racial and religiousdiscrimination in the Universityitself are all legitimate subjectmatter for any editor.No wiser policy in dealing withsuch questions could be proposedthan that recommended to the St.Louis Post Di.spatch by JosephPulitzer upon his retirement. “Iknow that my retirement,” hewrote, “will make no differencein the paper’s cardinal principles;that it will always fight for prog¬ress and reform, never tolerateinjustice or corruption, always op¬pose privileged classes and publicplunderers, never lack sympathywith the poor, always remain de¬voted to the public welfare; neverbe satisfied with merely printingthe news; always be drasticallyindependent; never be afraid toattack wrong whether by preda¬tory plutocracy or predatory pov¬erty.”I can think of no nobler pro¬gram for any newspaper.oaFriday, Nov. 30, 1945 THE CHICAGO MAROON Page 5Activity Fee Plan OpposedHere, MAROON Poll RevealsWith the recent increases in enrollment, supposedly provid¬ing adequate support for campus activities, the question of acompulsory student activity fee demands attention. The feewould be paid by each student at |he beginning of each quarter,and would entitle him to admission to all University sponsoredevents and a free subscription toall University publications.To the question: “Would youfavor a student activity fee?” 77%of the students asked replied “no,”23%, “Yes” in the Chicago Maroonpoll. While students in the collegewere for the most part against it,the divisional students were split50-50.Of those answering “no,” 15%would approve the plan if it wasmade voluntary. (Some cited theWilliam Wash¬ington: “T h efunction of astudent hereshould be anunderstandingof the curricu¬lum ... itshould be richenough to makeactivities su¬perfluous.”cases of those whose jobs or otherresponsibilities limited their time,while others simply did not wishto surrender irrevocably theirfreedom of choice.The most frequently occuringcomplaint of the emphatic no’swas, “No time, no money.* Manyfelt that their budgets and studyschedules permitted only a fewEmilie Coop¬er: “Yes, but itshould be vol¬untary ratherthan compul¬sory, with pro¬vision for thosenot paying toparticipatethrough indi¬vidual fees.”carefully chosen activities, so thata fee would be an imposition.Claiming that this school costenough already, someone suggestedthe inclusion of fee in the $20 Uni¬versity fee. The existence of stu¬dent interest in activities sufficientto warrant such a fee was ques¬tioned, as were the merits of theactivities themselves.Some comments were, “The plandoes not investigate the merits ordemerits of individual activities forindividual students”; “There is noneed for a false stimulus to studentparticipation”; “It has no place ina liberal education”; “You cannot generalize accurately with regardto student needs.”The outstanding advantage, forthose who favored the fee, was theprovision of a definite income foractivities. Since the Universitycannot supply them with morethan a part of what they need,assured funds would mean moreefficient planning and better pro¬grams. The need for improved or¬ganization of activities wasSid Levy:“. . . too force¬ful. The Uni¬versity shouldhave a cohesivesocial programthat would en¬list students’voluntary sup¬port.”stressed; one student clamored for“reform” to snap activities out oftheir present state of paralysis,while another suggested that oneorganization be placed at the headof all campus activities.Various other benefits werementioned, such as the saving ofmoney by the student, studentparticipation and the stimulationof that thing called school spirit.There were a few indignant com¬ments about the individualism ofstudents here; “The fee wouldmake the University into more ofa community”; “There are toomany little groups on campus, thefee might get students out of theirshells.”New UC PressBooks ListedThree books about America areincluded in the volumes to be re¬leased during the next few monthsby the University of ChicagoPress.

Judy DownsSeryin'* ’ ItHotThe program opened with Han¬del’s Sonata No. 4 in D Major, apatrician work, revelatory of Han¬del’s aristocratic grace and nobil¬ity. This was followed by Mozart’sslight two-movement Sonata in A,K. 305, in which the two move¬ments constitute a running dia¬logue between the two instru¬ments. Last on the program wasHavel’s Sonata for Violin andPiano, one of the composer’s ex¬periments with jazz. The middlemovement is a Blues, but not avery successful one: a stringedinstrument is not susceptible toproduce the right aural color.Ravel’s piano concerto—the onefor both hands—and his jazz studyFive o’clock are more successfulimitations.The first allegro of the Handelsonata had an excellent pace andfirm rate, so often lacking in per¬formances of the work. In the lar- ghetto Weicher had a fine singingtone, but one which was some¬times oily. The final allegro, whichalso occurs in Handel’s ConcertoGrosso in G Minor, might havebeen faster paced. In the allegroof the Mozart sonata, Mr. O’Neillexhibited his usual vigorous play¬ing. In the andante, however, heconfused heavy-handedness withfortissimo playing.The Ravel sonata is a carefullybalanced work which requiresprecision blending of the two in¬struments to unfold. This it hadin the performance under con¬sideration. The first movementwith its rolling accompanying fig¬ure in the piano, a Ravel charac¬teristic, was as softly spun as silk.The finale, a perpetual motion, isan interpsting technical study, butnot much more. The long awaited Hot Club ofChicago has at last materialized.The organization and activities ofthe club were set up this monthby a committee of fifteen Chicagojazz lovers, including musicians,collectors, and journalists.Chairman of the committee isJohn Lucas, feature writer ofDown Beat magazine, and pro¬spective Ph.D. of Chicago’s Eng¬lish department. Other officersare: co-chairman, Katherine Ja¬cobsen; treasurer, George Hoefer;secretary, John Schenck, and pub¬licity director, Ben Lincoln.Activities of the Hot Club ofChicago include the presentationof monthly jazz concerts, and jazzlectures, and the publication of aclub magazine. Membership fee,which covers deductions on con¬certs and magazine subscription,is $1.00 per year, to be mailed toGeorge Hoefer, 2 East BanksStreet.The Club’s first concert will bepresented Sunday, December 16,from 2:00 till 5:00 p.m. at theMoose Club, 1016 North Dearborn.The concerts will be held in astrictly informal atmosphere withdancing encouraged. At the firstconcert, Earl Hines will lead a six-piece band featuring alto manScoops Carey and drummer RedSaunders.The formation of the Hot Clubpromises to be the foundation ofa rejuvenation of jazz activities inChicago.

One of our physics instructors drove down to get theballoon and thereon hangs a pretty tale. It seems the farmerwas a rather suspicious soul and wanted to make sure, in theinterests of science, that only a duly accredited person wouldtake the balloon. He notified the state police who kept watchon the balloon and they descended en masse when said in¬structor claimed the balloon as a member of the U. of C. staff.He was subjected to a veritable third degree about his life,identity, credentials, and the contents of the balloon. The crucialpart of the identification was how many radio tubes were con¬tained in the apparatus. Friend instructor answered 49 where¬upon the police nearly clapped him in jail—they counted only 48.At long last after he had explained and demonstrated thewhereabouts of the 49th tube, they let let him depart in peacebearing the balloon.a * •HiscelianyBob Voas hung his Fiji pin on Dawn Pfeiffer.

We listenedsympathetically (after all, she had been studying a little too hardfor comps) as she told the incredible story that two rather famouspersonages were now studying in Classics, one having died in 1822and the other in 1870. Humoring her along, we consented to followher over to the desk where said persons were supposedly studying.We regret to announce that she is correct: there written in boldscript on the name tags are the names of Percy Bysshe Shelley andCharles Dickens.Araund CampusThe sponsors of the bonfire tonight have been running intoslight difficulties this week, the main one being a small matter ofthirteen dollars and fifty cents; it seems that BAG has to be paidfor the wood that goes into the fire. . . .

Mr.Brooks studied at Oxford and ob¬tained his B.A. and Litt.B. there.He has taught in Texas, Michigan,and Louisiana.,Recently Mr. Brooks’ activitieshave centered around the manag¬ing editorship and the editorshipof the Southern Review, a quar¬terly devoted to review and criti¬cism of fiction and poetry as wellas political commentary. His co¬worker on this project was R. B.Warren, who is now teaching atthe University of Minnesota. Mr.Warren is a collaborator of longstanding, having worked with Mr.Brooks on two of a series of text¬ books on understanding poetryand fiction.On his own, the professor hasauthored a volume entitled Mod¬ern Poetry and Tradition. Hislatest work. The Well-WroughtUrn, will be off the presses sometime next year. These are bothbooks of criticism and theory ofpoetry.In answer to inquiries as to theorigin of his honeyed drawl. Pro¬fessor Brooks will admit that hecomes by it honestly, being a na¬tive of the country’s southland.“However,” he admonishes, “nevertrust an English professor’s accent.It’s likely to be contaminated byany number of affectations.”The Professor is also the authorof an authoritative monograph onsouthern speech.Page 6 THE CHICAGO MAROON Friday, Nov. 30, 1945David S, CanterOn the BeamAll America had ringside seats for a bloody performancein the early 1920’s. Sponsoring the performance were men whowere afraid of the growing unity of the people against the in¬justice of economic insecurity. The price of a seat was the priceof a newspaper. The performance began with a wave of hotReds,feeling against “Radicals,aliens, Socialists, Bolsheviks, agi¬tators, Labor Unions and rene¬gades of religion.” “The arena wasthen the seem; of U.S. Attorney-General Palmer's witchhunt raids.The smashing climax was the Sac-co-Vanzetti case. These two men,on charges of murdering a pay¬master, were swept into this dra¬ma, were convicted for their an¬archist views rather than on theevidence presented, and were ex¬ecuted. When the hot feelingscool«d, the sponsors were satis¬fied—for them the performancewas a success. American peoplewere divided, were suspicious ofeach other and practiced scape¬goatism when the occasion pre¬sented itself. Economic insecuritythrived. ^It's here againMany Americans still have notlearned yet. Today again perform¬ances are going on. Again lynch-ings, baiting, hysteria and disunityare the order of the day in manya community. .It’s starting againjust as in the days of Sacco-Vanzetti.“Winterset” is OKThat is why the Players Guildproduction “Winterset” is signifi¬cant. This play is based on theSacco-Vanzetti case.

Analyzingthe play itself, this column sees ita job half-done. The audience^should see the use of the names ofSacco-Vanzetti instead of “Ro¬magna”; Madeiros instead of“Trock Estrella”; Judge WebsterThayer instead of “Gaunt.” Therefurther was no expose and con¬viction of the forces behind the“red scare” that resulted in themurder of two innocent men.Keep it upThis column hopes that moresuch productions will come andurges the audience to be On TheBeam all the time against thosewho perpetrate the modern Sacco-Vanzetti frame-ups.* * •Not enough '^people are On TheBeam about far distant events(Java, Spain, Argentina, China,Europe, etc.) In answer to thecontention that these events areirrelevant to American security, Iquote Corporal Milton J.

Critic RipsNovelette byUC AlumnusThree Day Pass, by Leslie Waller;Viking Press, $2.50.This first novelette by a Univer¬sity alumnus is an undistinguishedwar story. The plot is nil.

Mulcahywill run the half-mile and perhapsthe mile.John Adams, one of last year'sconference cross country stars, whohas had a disappointing seasonthis year because of a back injury,is also a miler. Merriam is hopingthat his injury will work itselfout If it does, Chicago will bebetter set in the distance runs thsmit has been in years.There are several promisingfreshmen around the school whomMerriam would like out, althoughthey may decide to compete inother sports. Guy Nery, who polevaulted 11 feet for South Shore,and Rolland Pipenbrink, an all-around athlete from- Crete, areboth more likely to play basket¬ball than to compete in track, andthey will probably be missed.

Theimmediate purpose of these“strikes” was to oust Negro stu¬dents from the schools. These“strikes” were not spontaneousuprisings of the student body butwere instigated and sponsored bypro-fascist adults working witha hoodlum element among thestudents.The American right of free ed¬ucation: the right to attend theschool we choose, is a basic rightof all youth, regardless of race,creed, or nationality. This rightmust be made a reality.Race Superiority FallaciousThe idea of race superiority, ascientific fallacy, is used constant¬ly by undemocratic forces every¬where as part of their divide andconquer technique. Remember,Hitler started with similar“strikes” against the Jews andended by killing Americans.When the strikes broke out inGary, the Executive Secretary ofAmerican Youth for Democracywas on the Fact-Finding Conunit-tee, along with representatives ofeleven other youth groups. As aresult of the investigation, theyisued a statement condemning thestrikes to the Gary authorities.When the strikes at EnglewoodHigh occurred, American Youth forDemocracy was represented in adelegation of adults and youthleaders who conferred with MayorKelly on this problem and alsoorganized the “Youth Unity Ral¬ly” at Orchestra Hall on Septem¬ber 29 which 1,500 students fromChicago high schools attended. Atthe meeting Danny Kaye appealedto all young people to guardagainst the fascist dangers in theoutbreaks and to carry throughtheir democratic responsibilitiesas young Americans.Strikes Indicate Danger in AmericaThese strikes are indicative ofa growing danger in America. Asthe problems of the post-war pe¬riod become more acute, reaction¬ary interest will more and morecreate racial tensions as a meansof diverting attention from thereal issues of the day, such asunemployment accompanied by agenerally lowered standard of liv¬ing.Let’s keep Hitler’s idea of racesuperiority out of our schools!It’s up to us to uphold our tradi¬tion of Democracy by refusing toaccept discrimination. Racial pre¬judice must be wiped out.American Youth for Democracy.To Publish NewHumor MagazineThere will be a meeting Monday,December 3 at 3:00 p.m. in theReynolds Club, second floor, forthose students interested in an all¬campus Humor Magazine.
