APRIL 26, 1946 31 PRICE 5 CENTSThey^re Moving In! * * * * *First Vet Prefabs OpenedTennessee Williams PlaysNew Workshop OfferingsA group of one-act plays by Tennessee Williams will haveits mid-west premiere here on May 1 in the Reynolds ClubTheatre. Presented by the Theatre Workshop wing of the Play¬ers Guild, the plays will have a campus run of four nights be¬ginning May 1st and ending Saturday night May 4th.Tennessee Williams, who hasbeen hailed by critics as one of theriost promising of modern drama¬tists, is expected on campus for theopening. He is the author of theprize winning “Glass Menagerie”and “You Touched Me,” whichwas produced on Broadway thisyear. “Lady of Larkspur Lotion”which will be given by the Work¬shop was included in a volume of“The Best One-Act Plays of 1941.”Williams shows great interest in' college curricula were brought “I think I need Betty . .Qreat BooksLashed byUC DeanHutchins-Van Doren Ideas onthe South, and most of his playshave this locale. Of the one-actersto be presented here next weekonly “Purification” has been pre¬viously produced.First on the program will be“Lady of Larkspur Lotion,” di¬rected by Roger Englander andstarring Marabell Smith, SonjaFriedman, and Marvin Peisner.Englander is also responsible forthe staging of “This Property isCondemned,” in which NancyAlexandet-A»^will appear. “Portrait of a Ma¬donna,” which was dedicated byWilliams to Dorothy Gish, willfeature Helen Auerbach, Ana deLeon, Gerald Stechler, GeorgeMorrison, Larry Lee, and RobertSilver, with Marvin Peisner di¬recting.“Purification,” widely acclaimedby critics as a profound poeticdrama, has been directed by Rob¬ert Carter, and Players Guild head,Harley Smith. The choreographyhas been styled by Roger Eng¬lander. The play, which concerns« murder which has been com¬mitted in a western village, isbeing given a highly impression¬istic production. Included in thelarge cast are Cean Cooke, Rob¬ert Carter, James Holland, HonoreSinger, Molly Bower, Stanley Par-sloe, Gerald Stechler, with MauriceKahn playing the guitar.Tickets for all performances arenow available at the InformationDesk in the Bursar’s Office.Race Drama StarsWill See GroupsFrances Waller and HenryScott, stars of the currentplay “Deep Are the Roots,”are available for personalappearances before campusgroups interested in theproblem of race relations.Groups interested may con¬tact Robert Roman at Frank¬lin 2221, under fire in Atlanta Tuesday byStephen M. Corey, University Pro¬fessor of Educational Psychologyand Dean of Students in the So¬cial Sciences, when he addressedthe American Association of Col¬legiate Registrars.“I am not yet persuaded to agreat book curriculum,” Coreystated. “My own experience pre-rludes Van Dorgn’s ftati^ment that‘a classifc is always fresh, verna¬cular, sensible, and responsible’.The fact that most of these classicswere written at a time when onlythe intellectually elite could readseems to be overlooked.For “Mature Adults”“Those who claim that the class-can be read with great profitby everyone are disdaining theonly court of appeal that makessense, namely, the young peoplewho read the books. Plato andCicero and Descartes and Humeand Freud were not writing forcallow boys and girls in theirlate adolescence. They were writ¬ing for mature adults.“Bright American young peoplecan learn the words these authorsuse, and with the help of dis¬tinguished teachers they can reachsome understanding of what thewords mean in terms of humanexperience. But to contend thatcolleges for all young people shouldconsist largely of reading greatbooks seems to me to be fleeingfrom reality, or at least from thegreat majority of American youthwho sorely need a liberal educa¬tion that will mean something tothem.”Supports “Student” TheoryIn support of opposing theorieson college education, which hetypified as “student-centered,”Corey said they seem “to realizethat unless serious attention isgiven by the college to the person¬al problems of young people, themore scholarly achievments areapt to be inconsequential and con¬sist largely of meeting certainformal requirements.”Chancellor Hutchins replied thatCorey “is probably wrong on hisfacts. I would say that most ofthose bool^s were written for lay¬men, and some of them for veryyoung laymen, and it is a moderndelusion that they are too diffi¬cult for laymen to read.“It may be that the trouble witheducation is with the educatorsrather than with the students.” JOHN B. THOMASBy SHIRLEY ISAACMr. and Mrs. Harold Greenber-ger, the First Family of PrefabCity, had barely moved their suit¬cases in when their newly-wonprivacy was rudely interrupted bya MAROON reporter. Cleanser,soap, and brushes littered the liv¬ing-room and/or kitchen table—stark evidence of the job PollyGreenberger would have to do onthe work-stained floors. HusbandHal, aged 24, is in his first quar¬ter as graduate student in Eco¬nomics since his return from 32months’ service in the armedforces. Their new home seemsmighty fine after weeks of tran¬sient rates at a hotel, the youngcouple said fervently.Getting OrganizedDown the “street” at 6021, JohnB. Thomas, 26, a third-year stu¬dent in the College, was busilytrying to put the electric stove to¬gether, pending the arrival of hishelpmate Betty and John, Jr., whohave been staying with his par¬ents in Iowa until they found aplace to live.Within a few hours, Prefab Citybegan to assume a homey atmos¬phere, with young husbands step¬ping over next door to borrow atool, competing milk company wa¬gons dashing up the unpaved pathsat a fast five miles an hour, andchildren stumbling about on theporches.Change for Better“We’re just breathless” . . .“best thing that’s happened to ussince we’ve been here” . . . “theycertainly utilize every inch ofspace!” were typical man-and-wife comments on the new sur¬roundings. • 23 Yet FamiliesBegin PrefabHousekeepingTwenty-three happy Universityof Chicago veterans set up house¬keeping in their new homes Wed¬nesday, as the long-awaited pre¬fab development at 61st andGreenwood was thrown open forthe first time. Thirty houses wereready, with twenty-three of themarried students eagerly takingpossession as early as 9:01 Wed¬nesday morning.The University’s project man¬ager said about seven more houseswould be available today and sev¬en more a few days later, makinga total of'44 units expected to beready for occupancy by May 1.Long Planning JobAssignment of the first prefabsclimaxed months of planning fortransfer of the units from Badg-ger, Wisconsin and Charleston,Indiana, where they had been usedto house war workers. Negotia¬tions with the U. S. Governmentwere begun before Christmas forallocation to the University of anumber of the houses, which werealso assigned proportionately toother schools as war workers leftproduction sites.In addition to the 115 unitserected at 61st and Greenwood,40 houses are being set up westof the Lying-In Hospital, betweenMaryland and Cottage Grove,while the remaining 37 will beset up on 60th Street betweenDrexel and Ingleside. Hutchins ♦ . .To ImproveMan Is EndOf EducationEducation today must eithertransform the minds and hearts ofmen, or be com;?letely irrelevant,Chancellor Robert M. Hutchins,said Tuesday night. Speaking toan overflow crowd in RockefellerChapel, Hutchins delivered a lec¬ture on “The Administrator,” oneof a series on “The Works of theMind.”The measure of a university ad¬ministrator can be made only inthe light of some rational view ofthe end of the university, Hutch¬ins declared, and his decisions areright or wrong as they help orhinder the institution in its effortto achieve the end.“Four Qualifications”Hutchins listed the four mini¬mum qualifications of an adminis¬trator in his function of orderingthe means to accomplish the endsas courage, fortitude, justice andpractical, wisdom, . 4.He set forth a modified Platonicprogram for the training of an ad¬ministrator. “The essential pointsare that the administrator shouldnot want to administer, but shouldbe forced to do so for the publicgood; that he should have a longperiod of education, culminatingin profound speculative study; thathe should undergo a great varietyof practical experience to form hischaracter and develop the habit ofpractical wisdom; and that heshould serve for a limited term,after which he should resume hisstudies, if he expects at some latertime to have another. This is thekind of scheme which is called forif the administrator is to have themoral and intellectual qualitieswhich the times demand.”Utopian Program NecessaryAlthough this program may beutopian, Hutchins asserted, oursituation is so desperate that noth¬ing not utopian is worth trying.“We know that the world may atany movement burst into flames,”he said. “We know that we canhope to.save ourselves only by themost tremendous and well-directedefforts. Bewildered and torturedhumanity should be able to look inthis crisis to those institutionscreated to elevate the minds andhearts of men, to symbolize theirhighest powers and aspirations.“Abolish War or Perish”“If we must abolish war or per¬ish, and if war can be abolishedonly by this transformation, thenthe aim of educational institutionsis to bring about this transforma¬tion.”“In a university, for example,the curriculum is a means to theend of the institution. It is notordinarily committed to the care ofthe administrator; he has not theauthority to determine what thecourse of study $hall be. Nobodyelse has quite the opportunitywhich the administrator has to seethe whole of the curriculum andthe interrelations of the parts.“The administrator must thentry to induce those to whose carethe curriculum has been committedto face the problems it raises aspersistently, as seriously and asImpartially 'as possible.”taf t THE CHICAGO MAROON Friday, April 2«, iCalendar of EventsNext Week onQuadranglesFriday, April 26PUBLIC WORSHIP.

Ellen BaumEditorialGrim AlternativesThe deceptive calm which followed the University’s an ^nouncement of another tuition increase only masks the trouble¬some and significant issues which the increase poses. It is occa¬sioned by the realization of thoughtful students here that theywill never, under any administration, determine universitypolicy. The shrill and naive cry of the few who chant for “aunited front to stop these raises” is hardly typical, even lessrealistic, being bom of a basic misconception of the relation be-1tween students and policy-makers. The role of the student isto criticize, to point out significant issues, to provide informa- ition, to question and ultimately perhaps to challenge; it is neverthe actual determination of policy.And yet we fear the indifference, the almost stoic resignation whichgreeted the pronouncement. If, as Chancellor Hutchins has maintained,education is the world’s only hope in an atom-bomb age, and Chicagois the world’s greatest educational center, then those decisions whichwe make here are of the most fundamental importance. They are notmere academic questions; they are literally of vital concern to everyoneeverywhere.Everyone is opposed to the tuition increases: students, faculty, andadministration. Everyone realizes full well that an increase in tuitioncan only entail greater hardships and struggle for those in the lowerincome brackets. Everyone knows that such increases reduce thepopulation base from which the university draws its enrollment andthat the ultimate consequences of such increases is that Chicago willserve only the wealthy and the few.As such it is easy for us to speak eloquently against tuition in¬creases. They strike at the very heart of one of our most basic beliefs:the principle of equality of opportunity: They contradict one of ourmost cherished ideals: the notion of a community of scholars in whichintellectual ability and scholarship are the sole and final arbiters ofa man’s status. Chicago’s proud claim tiiat liberal education is educa¬tion for all is reduced to a hollow mockery.• * •Utter simplicity itself to state, indeed, but what are the con¬sequences of not raising tuition? Have those who so vigorouslytestified against a tuition boost paused to weigh the conse¬quences of the policy which they propound?A university needs money to live; without it, it perishes. Incomemust equal expenditures. At the current time all income is fixed, tui¬tion excepted. The income from investments is determined by inexor¬able economic laws over which the university obviously has no control.We are forced to the conclusion that only by increasing tuition canincome be increased to meet rising expenditures.The alternative is to reduce expenditures. If economy were thegoal and dictated our policies, we might eliminate the atomic bombinstitutes, reduce the number of staff members and increase the sizeof classes, eliminate the university’s lecture program, or abandon themedical school and Billings Hospital.The real issue is, therefore, crystal-clear. It is not one of principle—we would never challenge the ideal of freedom of opportunity. Theproblem, simply stated, is this: What is the best means to attain equal¬ity of opportunity, to achieve a free and democratic society? Is thegoal better served by assuring a representative enrollment from allclasses at the expense of impairing in some measure the academicgreatness of the university, or is it wiser to sacrifice a representativestudent body in order to insure greater intellectual achievement andacademic progress?It should be evident that this university can never educateeven a significant part of the lower classes. It is also true thatquality of the student body will not be significantly impairedby financial barriers, for there will always be enough highcalibre students with adequate means to meet the universityexpenses. And finally—in brutal realism—we might well askif it is not better to educate those with financial means, since itis they who in the existing order will, wield the greatest in¬fluence.But while educational opportunity may not exist elsewhere, is it notvitally important that equal opportunity be maintained at Chicago,if only a symbol? Is it not true, when all is considered, that the entireUniversity is a symbol—an ideal of free men in the search of the truth?This is the grim dilemma which we confront. It will demand of allof us a full measure of “courage, prudence, wisdom, and Justice.”(AK-AG). The TrayelingBazaar...We note with regret the passingfrom campus of one of the oldestwomen’s clubs, the Esoterics. Es¬tablished in 1894, the Esotericshave long enjoyed—and earned—an enviable position in campus life;their members have, by and large,been outstanding in University stu¬dent activities, both social andservice. Their decision to dissolvethe club came as a surprise to thecampus last Monday when PatMeyers, president, announced atInter Club meeting that the Esote¬rics were officially disbanding asof that date. Incidentally, theywill not participate in Inter ClubSing this year, an event whichthey won in the past with aston¬ishing regularity.Speculation is running rife as tothe possible underlying reason fortheir disbanding and the effects itwill have on the club hierarchy.Possibly they may be merely pav¬ing the way to an all-over campusI dissolution of clubs—but most c'ubwomen think it was purely an in¬dividual club’s decision and notindicative of a decaying' cFub sys¬tem. To the second, the answerseems to be that either the ChiRhos or the Wyverns will step upinto the “Big Four.’’Next week the Maroon will pub¬lish the official statement t)f theEsoterics, stating their reasons fordisbanding.Hither and YonOverheard in the Bookstore lastweek . . . “But Mr. X, I came hereto deliver the brassieres, not modelthem!’’ . . . and then the Timescalled up the Maroon office and,via a sweet feminine voice, gentlyinquired whether the studentswould have a riot over the raisein tuition . . .

Fifty dollarswill be given to the student whoshows the greatest ability in read¬ing the Scriptures.^Registration jk>r those interestedis being held in 101 Swift Hall IITO THE EDITOR OF THE CHICAGO MAROON:In the name of American Youth for Democracy, I wish to register kvigorous protest against the unwarranted tuition raise. This increase,the second within a year, is surely a means of discouraging attendanceof the University by students in the lower income brackets.A year and a half ago Chancellor Chase of New York City warnedagainst an “inflation of education,” too many people attending college.Shortly thereafter his university raised its tuition to unprecedentedheights. Can this fear of educational “inflation” be the motivatingforce behind the epidemic of higher fees throughout the nation andspecifically at the University of Chicago?A further point should be considered. Assuming that one of themost heavily endowed institutions in the world cannot possibly makeenas wm. /TtuiH not ADOther solution be found?Federal aid,to higher education is not an unneara oi puv...the administration of this University, in conjunction with the neaosof other schools, would make a concerted effort to obtain such fundi,this would be a solution to the financial problems of both the Univer¬sity and its students.We call upon all students, through their organizations and as in¬dividuals to make their voices heard on this issue.JEANETTE FISS, Chairman AYD.• • •TO THE EDITOR OF THE CHICAGO MAROON:In your last issue of THE MAR(X)N, you made a reference to Yalein an editorial concerning the increase in tuition fees. I should like topoint out that the tuition at Yale is $430 per normal school year, com¬pared with $420 at the University of Chicago. Furthermore, the cost ofliving in the University residence halls at Chicago is considerablyhigher than at Yale. Because of this, the student of moderate meansmust actually pay more for his education at Chicago than at Yale.I should also like to bring to your attention the fact that, almostwithout exception, the financial need of the student is taken intoaccount in the award of scholarships at Yale. In the respect, it wouldappear that the University of Chicago is constructing a “citadel ofaristocratic learning” which few other institutions have seen fit toemulate.DAVID M.

Priorto that, for two years he had goneto Cornell College in Iowa.

In *44 he managedthe successful effort to elect EmilyTaft Douglas as congresswoman-at-large, and next fall will againassist in her campaign for re-election.Among the other activities inwhich Johnson maintains an activeinterest is the Independent Votersof Illinois, which he serves as amember of the executive commit¬tee. This group is active in supportof various candidates for politicaloffice, such as Mrs. Douglas. In1942 Johnson was Downstate Di¬rector for the group.He is also a member of theboard of directors of the Citizen’sCommittee of Arts, Sciences, andProfessions, currently plugging forpublic support of civilian controlof the A-bomb.Job U "Good Toachiiif**Dynamic, personable, and withdecided convictions, Johnson, be¬ lie vs “the primary job of the col¬lege professor is good teaching.There are too many research peopleteaching in colleges and univer¬sities,” he expostulated.In 1943 Johnson was awardedthe $1000 University prize for ex¬cellence in teaching. “I’m proud ofthat,” he quipped.

Bothmatches are scheduled for a 2 p.m.beginning.Though possessors of a 7-2 winover Lawrence College, the Badg¬ers aren’t expected to give CoachWally Hebert’s undefeated squadtoo much competition. Wisconsinisn’t noted for good tennis teams.The real test will come the fol¬lowing day when the Wildcatsbring to the Midway one of theConference’s better outfits. Great¬ly strengthened by the return ofpre-war star Bobby Jake and for¬mer Illinois high school champLarry Daly, Northwestern has al¬ready chalked up victories overWayne University and KalamazooCollege.Chicago’s Maroons have anequally impressive pre-Confer-ence record, having taken themeasure of North Central and ofIllinois Institute without losing amatch.Though Coach Hebert is prettysure of the six men who will taketo the courts today and tomorrow,he isn’t so sure in what orderthey’ll play. The line-up includesEarl Theimer, Harry TuUy, WallyMichel, Bob Tully, Howie Husum,and Dick Fine.Any one of the first three couldplay in the number one position,and Saturday’s line-up may in noway resemble Friday’s. Only thingcertain is that Theimer and Mich¬el will form the number one dou¬bles- combination.According to past performances,Northwestern’s number one andtwo men get the nod over Chi¬cago’s as does its first doublesteam. After that, however, it’s awide open contest with the teamwith the most balance coming outon top.Most of Chicago’s victories thisyear will have to come in the low¬er brackets as the Maroons lackthe strong number one man thatcharacterized all of Hebert’s pre-was squads.
