Moderator ♦ # ♦WALTER JOHNSONTurns DownKelly's BidPresident Ernest C. Colwell hasdeclined the invitation of MayorKelly to become a member of thecommittee to study the recent rec¬ommendations of the North Cen¬tral Association, in regard to themethod of selection of the Boardof Education and the location ofadministrative responsibility forChicago schools.“It is doubtful,” Colwell said, “ifthe limited study which you askthe committee to make would beof such scope as to determinewhether these purposes were be¬ing achieved in Chicago schools.. . .

St. Augustine, here we come, andwe don’t mean Florida!• « * HiToo Many Petty Fees?Again the question arises, “Is Chicago a rich man’s school?”And again there are those who violently deny that only the“better class” can attend this university. How can a poorer stu¬dent hope to remain in good standing at this school whichcharges a fee or a fine for every type of service or minor in¬fringement of a regulation? Needless to say, the tuition and liv¬ing expenses here are steep enough without the constant assess¬ments of fines and fees.The College library insists on payment of fifty cents a day foreach overdue book even though the book itself may not be worthmore than fifty cents. A student who lives off campus often hasdifficulty in returning books on specified days. True, an individ¬ual who has enough money to attend the University of Chicagoshould certainly not quibble about a measly dollar or so, but howabout those who are working in order to attend school or the vet¬erans who must make ends meet with a small subsistence allow¬ance? A mere two dollars to them means one full day’s allow¬ance. Yes, a full day’s pay for keeping a single book four dayslonger than specified, even though many copies of this samebook remain idle on the library shelves.It is only right to charge a slight fine for overdue books or afee for overdue payments, but this should not be made so strin¬gent that the delinquent must virtually dig into the sock. Fromthe first day a student enters this university, he is confronted onall sides by demands for fees—entrance fees, change of registra¬tion fees. Comp, fees, late fees—anything that requires an addi¬tional amount of time by employees is charged directly to thestudent.If this is the only means by which the school can operate,there must be little truth In the statistics which show thatthis university is one of the wealthiest schools in the world.The task of attending any college is difficult enough withoutthe excessive number of fees and fines, but if that is the onlyway the University of Chicago con meet expenses, there isnothing to do but weep and tolerate. ^Quadrangle OpinionDaniel Bell AnswersSoviet DefenderOlljtragn iiaroonThe University of Chicago Official Student Newspaperr 1945 ACP All-AmericmnPublished every Friday during the academic year by THE CHICAGOMAROON, an independent student organization of the University of Chicago.Libero De Amicis, Acting Editor-in-ChiefWard J.

To the Editor of The ChicagoMaroon:I suspect that one reason whySoviet apologists are in such lowintellectual repute is the hyste¬rical and bigoted letter of Mr.David S. Carter in The Maroonof March 22. It reminds me of thestory concerning Earl Browder,the Manichaean heretic and for¬mer Communist chief. When ques¬tioned in 1935 before the Amer¬ican Writers’ Congress why theSoviets had banned Shostako¬vich’s opera, “Lady Macbeth ofMenzsk”—the news had just beenbroadcast by radio—he replied:“I do not know the reason, butwhatever it was, it must havebeen a good one.” Mr. Canter’sline of reasoning seems to be thatif you say Soviet music is terrible,whatever your reason, it must bea bad one.The facts are that during thepast 20 years, all attempts at cul¬tural independence and experi¬mentation in Russia have beenvigorously suppressed, and Artforced to toe an “official” line.Some recent evidence is easily athand. Writing in the Sunday Times for March 17, 1946, MrBrooks Atkinson, who as his dis¬patches from China indicated hasbeen sympathetic to Russia, writesfrom Moscow:“. . . the Moscow theatre gen¬erally seems to be living in thepast. It is conservative in styleand taste, which is surprisingin a country that is constantlybeating its chest over its pro¬gressiveness; and lacks artisticvitality. ... In New York Iused to think that the theatreneeded the discipline of theclassics, and possibly does. Butnow I know that too much dis¬cipline of the classics puts thetheatre in bond to the past andpeoples the stage with a highproportion of dead souls.”Mr. Atkinson’s report is notsurprising to anyone who has ob¬served the, Russian scene carefully.Cultural vigor is obviously im¬possible where critical standardsare subpect to political caprice,and as often to political terror.In every cultural field, impor¬tant intellectual figures have been“liquidated” for maintaining in¬dependent views. The leadingGuest EditorialMcMahon Bill SupportedIn Illinois Tech EditorialThe representatives of the higher brass in the United StatesArmy have stated their opposition to the recommendation ofthe chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Atomic En¬ergy. After listening for two months to the testimony of scien¬tists, engineers, and military experts, Senator Brien McMahonhas introduced a bill, S. 1717, for'the control of atomic energy.Last year the attempt to pushthrough Congress an army-spon¬sored bill was defeated, largelythrough the efforts of the arousedscientists of this country—thesame scientists who devised the medical and industrial processes.We believe that the men whocreated the atomic bomb and aremost directly responsible for itscontrol know of what they speak.We also believe that they will bedefeated in their efforts by thepressure of the military unless theported by the people of the UnitedStates, as it has been supported bythe President and the scientists.Our duties as engineering stu¬dents and future scientists shouldtell us what we, as individualsshould do now. The passage of'theMcMahon Bill will come to be onlyif we each write to our senatorsand representatives telling themjust how we stand on this impor¬tant matter. Now is the time to act!—Reprinted from IIT, Russian director, Meirhold, whos«expressionist stage was the mec-ca for theatrical innovators inthe early thirties, was purged m1937. So, too, was Boris Pilnyak,the witty scenartist and critic, andhundreds of others.Same in All FilmsIn the cinema,, the bold pioneei-ing of Pudovkin and Eisensteingave way to the “boy-meets ma¬chine, girl-meets machine, boy-and-girl love machine” movies,as well as the violently chauvinis¬tic films glorifying Czar Peter,Prince Nevski, and the projectedrefurbishing of Ivan the Terrible.In architecture, the trend hasbeen away from functionalism to¬wards a sterile academicism.In music, polyphonic and dis¬sonant music was frowned upon,and in its place was ordered writ¬ten music that “could be hummed,”as Stalin put it, after walking outon the Shostakovich opera.But these are sociological rea¬sons for the decline. The contentitself must be judged, as Mr.Wambaugh did, by aesthetic cri¬teria. If music is bad, it’s bad,and no political polish can turnthe dross into gold. ’Mr. Canter’s letter would, onthe whole, be laughable, exceptfor the pernicious statement:“What music will Wambaugh crit¬icize now? Will he begin to crit¬icize the music of the Negro?Other minorities? Will he thenbroaden out to include all folkmusic, then folk culture? Thisis a dangerous trend that startsinnocently enough with thingsSoviet.”Creates Lynch SpiritThis is a smelly herring andspecious reasoning. More, it isjust as surely an attempt to createa lynch spirit by making precioussuch words as “Negro” and “folk.”For a Negro artist, Mr. Canter’sstatement actually is patronizingand insulting. What artist wantshis work judged on the basis ofcolor or creed, or needs specialpleading on that count? If mu.«icby Negroes is good, it should bepraised because it is good music;and if bad, criticized as bad, andfor what it is, as music, not poli¬tics.The party line, Mr. Canter, is aflexible 'yardstick, but not onewith any intellectual or culturalmerit, for in your hands, it is notonly an attempted measuring rod,but a whip.DANIEL BELL.Was It With Qrant at Vicksburg?atomic bomb.

Smooth ensembleplaying, good rhythm, and carefulintonation were all assets ^whichmade it remarkably fine to hear.Music ranging from that of theNetherlander Isaak (c. 1440-1517),to that of Johann Posch (1650-1746) offered a good demonstra¬tion of the emergence of instru¬mental music from domination bya vocal part into complete freedomand parity.Need More Elizabethan MusicOrlando Gibbons’ Fantasie, ar¬ranged for modern string quartet,is a good argument for the pre¬sentation of more music from theage of Elizabeth.

They experi¬mented with dibasic acids and withintwo years had succeeded in formingpolyesters with molecular weights up to25,000. In the spring of 1930, on remov¬ing one of these '‘superpolymers” fromthe molecular still, one of the chemistsnoted that it could be drawn out into athin strand, like taffy candy. But, un¬like taffy, it was not brittle when cooled.In fact, the cooled strand could befurther drawn out to several times itsformer length and when so drawn be¬came not only stronger but elastic!This original ester polymer had a lowmelting point and was sensitive to water.Nevertheless, it suggested that some re¬lated type of polymer might producefibers which would be of practical usein textiles.Numerous superpolymers were syn¬thesized and tested. Finally, in 1935, apolyamide was prepared. From it, thefirst nylon filaments were made—byforcing the molten polymer through ahypodermic needle! RESEARCH LOWERS PRICE OFSYNTHETIC UREANy/M PolyuiH DtvehptdFurther experimental work resulted inthe development of a polymer that pos¬sessed the desired characteristics. Thismaterial was later christened nylon.But the job was not yet done. Re¬search chemists—particularly physicalchemists—and chemical engineers werecalled upon to devise practical methodsfor making the polymer and for spinningand drawing it into high-quality yam.Mechanical engineers were given thetask of designing plant equipment tocarry out the processes. Organic chem¬ists were required to develop new dyeingagents and to find a size to make knittingpossible. At one time or another morethan 230 research men, engineers andmarketing specialists worked on thegiant task of converting this child ofchemical curiosity into a marketableproduct. Lower prices, as well as new processes,can result from intensive research. Takesynthetic urea, for example. In 1930,urea sold for about 80fi a pound. Greatpromise was held for this compound asan industrial chemical for fertilizer andplastic use—if an inexpensive manufac¬turing process could be found.By methods then in use, ammoniaand carbon dioxide were heated toabout 150*0., forming urea and waterin equilibrium with the unconvertedoriginal compounds. The yield of ureawas approximately 43%.Research by Du Pont chemists andengineers showed that, by adjusting theproportions of the reactants, raising thetemperature and increasing the pressiue,conversion could be improved materi¬ally. But the corrosive mixture resultingquickly chewed up the best grades ofsteel available. pound. Men of Du Pont take pride inthe fact that their work has made itpossible to reduce the price of ureafrom the “drug” class to a level where itcan be used as a fertilizer by the farmer.^^Questions CoMege Men askabout working with Du Pont"WHAT ADVANTAGES DOES DU PONTOFFER A RESEARCH MANrTo men interested in pure or appliedresearch, Du Pont offers unusual ad¬vantages in equipment, facilities andfunds.

As Gibbons is asplendid example of the first age,so is Henry Purcell undoubtedlythe greatest composer of the sec¬ond. Daring to display his creativetalents in a form no longer fash¬ionable, Purcell produced whatAlec Robertson has so well called“the last bloom of this St. Luke’ssummer” of English polyphonicmusic.

Dick Modling, tempo¬rary chairman of the newlyformed Veterans Council,will explain the purposes ofthe new organization. A three point program for easingthe burden of returning veteranson midwestern colleges was pre¬sented last week by C. E. Hostetler,director of veterans rehabilitationin Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.Si>eaking to presidents of eightsmall college representatives of adozen others meeting at North¬western University to discuss GIeducation, Hostetler urged: 1.greater utilization of classroomspace; 2. Getting more instructorsby making the teaching profession‘more attractive’ financially; and3. Increasing housing facilities bydoor-to-door campaigns if neces¬sary.Illustrating his first point, Hos¬tetler said he knew of one collegewhere a survey showed only 50 percent of available classrooms spacewas being used. Another schoolmet its veterans housing crisis byhaving a plea for rooms deliveredwith the towns morning milk.

We are deter¬mined that there must not be an¬other. We are convinced that ifthat war is fought—the AtomicWar—a greater part of the inhabi¬tants of the world will be killed,and a greater part of the cities ofthe United States and of everymajor nation will be laid waste.To forestall that war, we knowthat the United States, as the lead¬ing atomic power today, must de¬velop an effective atomic policy,today. This is our standWe accept the tesimony of manyexperts that there is no military“defense” against the atombomb, and that there is no “se¬cret” which the U.S. can chooseto keep or not to keep.We see that under the presentinternational anarchy of atomiccontrol, an armament race inatomic weapons is rapidly gettingunder way which, unless stoppedor controlled at once, will lead in¬ exorably to the atomic war. Webelieve that the only security, theonly “defense” lies in effective in¬ternational control under theUnited Nations Organization: onlyunder such conditions can eachnation, the largest and the small,be given the adequate guaranteeof its security which will makerecourse to atomic force unneces¬sary.No Military ControlWe believe that the nation’sdomestic policy must be integratedwith international control, andthat domestic control must resideunequivocally in civilian hands.We realize that atomic power hasmilitary implications for the na¬tional security, but we are opposedto military control because first, itwould precipitate an internation¬al armament race; second, it wouldgive the military independent andexcessive power over our nationallife, which is dangerous in anydemocracy; third, atomic energyoffers many beneficial industrialand medical uses which militarymen would ignore; fourth, militarymen have shown an historic in¬ability in peacetime to accept newdevelopments, as Billy Mitchell tions in which so many GI’s wereinvolved ‘only yesterday’ that all ofa sudden, wham bang, have beenexchanged for this prosiac campusscene.Take Harry Beardsley. While theWar Department was busy report¬ing him missing-in-action a coupleof years ago, he was being passedalong from native village to nativevillage until he was returned to hisoperations base in New Guineafrom which he started out on aroutine plane trip about ten daysbefore.It seems he was forced to crash-land his B-25 in a jungle clearing.While searching for food he dis¬covered a couple of Fuzzy-Wuzzies—or whatever they call them downthere—staring at him from a tree.Upon his invitation—uttered withdifficulty owing to tightening ofthe throat muscles—they climbeddown and set spears aside longenough for handshakes all around.Then he was introduced to the restof the village, who set him up on akind of throne and brought him thefood he had started out to look forin the first place.They were swell people, Beards¬ley says. When he cut his fingeron a coconut, a little girl dippedit (the finger) in a bowl of waterand washed the blood off. Andwhen he left the old chief cried.If you’re interested in NewGuinea folk-ways—or how to actlike a god when you’re scared asthe devil—you can find Beardsleybehind the information desk at IntHouse.The Illinois department of theAmerican Veterans of World War11 (AMVETS), have opened a 11,000,000 fund raising campaignfrom which they will pay u percent to George J.

Last month the University • ofChicago made the front pages byits announcement that it was with¬drawing from Big Ten competi¬tion. At that time this columnsupported and condoned that de¬cision.We supported it not because wefelt that athletics have or shouldhave no part in college life, butrather because we felt that theathletic requirements of Chicago’sstudent body could better be metoutside the Western Conferwice.We felt that inter-coUegUtecompetition with schools in Chi¬cago’s class—athletically speaking—coupled with an extensive intra¬mural program would prove ofgreater benefit to students on theMidway than would the policy ofcontinuing in the Big Ten.At that time we felt that thegroundwork had been laid forjust such an intra-mural program—that IM sports were serving thepurpose for which they were de¬signed. Now we aren’t so sure.Intra-mural sports within thecollege are organized through thedormitory system. Teams areformed to represent the eight dif¬ferent entries at Burton - JudsonCourt. Students not living in thedorms are made associate mem¬bers of the various houses and areeligible to compete on the houseteams.Though this quarter lists foursports—volleyball, softball, ten¬nis, and badminton — on the IMsports agenda, there is little hopethat any of them will prove assuccessful as did football in theFall quarter or basketball in theWinter months.In both football and basketballin the College House League in¬dividual coaches were providedfor each term. No such provisionsare being made for this quarter.No coaching whatsoever is beingoffered specifically to intra-muralsquads and the organization ofthe teams themselves is being leftPresenting the new and greaterSPOTLIGHT BANDSAsk your friends overfor Coke and MusicMusic that’s tops by three topbands—the same big threeevery week,COCA-COLA BOTTLINC CO.
