Far¬rell, author of the Studs Lonigantrilogy and more recently, Ber¬nard Clare, gave me his impres¬sions of changes in the educationalcurriculum and objectives sincehis days at a University of Chi¬cago student twenty years ago.I cornered Farrell in the of¬fice of the Quarterly Review,whence he had come to discussforthcoming articles with Ira Corn,editor of the Review. In the dis¬comfort of the afternoon heat, helooked like anything but one ofthe University’s foremost alumni.Holding the coat of a baggyblue serge suit in one arm, withshirt and tie on the verge of fall¬ing into chaos, he smoked in¬tensely, emphasizing the impor¬tant points with jerks of his cigar¬ette coordinated with positiveptovements of his head with itsunkempt shock of black hairemitting gray sparks.Great Books Too GreatFarrell, a strong follower ofJohn Dewey, regrets the de-em¬phasis on practicality and em¬piricism in favor of “general cul¬ture” as exemplified by the in¬tense study of Great Books. He isin favor of finding the data forsocial improvement in the worlditself. Thinking, for him, is prob¬lem solving, whereas the GreatBooks train one to “think aboutthinking.”“The authors of the Great Bookswere men of great general cul¬ture, the teachers have less andthe students still less,” said Far¬rell. “University students arebored and satisfied and perhapsit is dangerous to emphasize em¬piricism; there are too many bigpeople who would be hurt if thetrue facts of society were known.”Farrell, a professed socialist. commented on the fine work donein the New Deal government bybis contemporary students whowere educated on this and othercampuses in the empirical tradi¬tion. Their failing, he said, wastheir inability to establish a cor¬relation between Dewey’s ideas of“functional” individual educationand the theories of Marx.Pans United NationsThey did make some importantadvances, he said, but the mainefforts should be directed, not to¬ward proving Dewey’s theories tobe valid, but to put them to work.No Russophile, Farrell called Sta¬lin’s government a “dangerouslyperverted form of Marxian ideas.”Farrell, when I asked him togive an opinion of the UnitedNations, said, “Why, they can’teven elect a doorman without asquabble. Eventually, we mustchoose between World Socialismor annihilation.”Farrell had a few choice wordsto say about critics in general,calling them “kept men whowould keep their readers fromthinking for themselves if anynotice were given them.” He de¬nied critics the absolute preroga¬tive of judging whether a book isgood or bad.“Think for yourself.**“Every individual should readthat which he feels he needs,making his own value judgments.The function of the critic is toshow U3 the fine points that wemight have missed. It is especiallyimportant for students to thinkthe books out for themselves.”When I asked him about the“message” (if any), which he isattempting to convey in his ownworks, he asked me to be contentwith a generality, saying “I amattempting to deal with the na¬ture of experiences.”Arrange for New Pre-FobsHere; Plan Occupancy by FallBy JULES STRICKLANDThe University last week com¬pleted negotiations with the Fed¬eral Public Housing Authority forthe erection of twenty-four newprefabricated units to house stu¬dent veterans and their families.Drawings and plot plans have beencompleted and the current goalis to have the units ready foroccupancy by the beginning ofthe Autumn Quarter. It was point¬ed out, however, that this is onlya goal and that no definite timecan be predicted.One of the two-story buildingswill be devoted to the housing,dormitory-style, of a hundred sin¬gle veterans. ’The other twenty- three units will have accommoda¬tions for 184 married veterans,their wives, and children. Eachunit will consist of eight apart¬ments, four on each floor, withliving room, kitchenette, two bed¬rooms and a bath. The buildingswill be erected on Dudley Field,the parking-lot in the rear of Ly¬ing-In Hospital, the tennis courtsextending from Woodlawn to Uni¬versity Avenues, and on the ten¬nis courts at Kenwood Avenueand 60th Street.It is expected that rentals willbe in the same range as thosenow being charged for the pre- VISITOR JAMES FARRELLIgnoring photographer AL COHEN’S pleas to “watch thebirdie,” JAMES FARRELL, author of STUDS LONIGAN,drives home a point to MAROON scribes during a visit to hisalma mater on Wednesday.

H. Zinn,Director of the Argonne NationalLaboratories.The Argonne National Labora¬tories, successor to the Metallurgi¬cal Laboratories, consist of variousipstaliations on campus such as at^Kent ^lall, Rye’rson,' etc. and offcampus at the Argonne ForestLaboratories at 103rd Street andArcher Avenue and at the Armory.Two hundred and fifty scientists,one thousand employees in all,work at the Laboratories. It ishoped that in the course of time acongressional appropriation willmake possible a consolidation ofall facilities on one site.At the* Laboratories, the nuclearcharacteristics of elements arestudied. Fundamental nuclear re¬search is carried on as it applies tophysics, chemistry, biology andengineering. For instance, in theBiology Department researchconcerning the cure of cancer iscarried on, in the Physics Depart¬ment the production of radio-ac¬tive isotopes is studied, in theAYC to GiveFinal C-DancesMiss Marguerite Kic^ell, As¬sistant Director of Ida Noyes, an¬nounced today that the AmericanVeterans Committee will sponsorthe last two C-dances of the Sum¬mer Quarter, August 3 and August17.

We feel that the fraternity has a very real socialfunction to fill on campus andthat we should concentrate all ourenergies on such activities,” Lowrysaid.Long criticized by anti-fraterni¬ty groups, “hell-week” has neverbeen officially recognized by fra¬ternities as part of the initiationceremonies, and is condemned bymany national fraternity head¬quarters. The practice 'achievednation-wide notoriety severaltimes during the past few yearswhen death or serious injury toseveral fraternity pledges occurredduring the week-long hazing.Forum to Discuss PriceControl on Air Waveslast Saturday, was sponsored by4fabricated hous^ on the Midway, the student social committee.Federalists Plan PublicityDrive, Membership CampaignBy BILL MONTGOMERYAt a meeting held in BurtonCourt last Monday evening thePolitical Action Committee of theStudent World Federalists votedto engage in several propagandacampaigns to increase member¬ship and to forcibly bring thesubject of world federation toublic attention.

Gl StudentFears Gov't AidMany college students, includingveterans, are encouraging bu¬reaucracy and regimentation byurging greater Government finan¬cial aid in education, declares agraduate student of journalism ina recent issue of Saturday EveningPost.In an article, “Something forNothing,” Dean Russell, who at¬tends Columbia School of Journal¬ism, writes that such a trend couldlead to the government ultimatelychoosing the courses to be studied.“In fact,” he states, “the gov¬ernment already forbids certaincourses under the G. I. Bill ofRights.” He cites that an adminis¬trator of the Veterans Administra¬tion refused to approve his educa¬tion plan for completing studies attwo graduate schools, one businessand the other journalism.Government Control of Schools“They said my plan of a halfyear at one school and a full yearat another was forbidden in theBill of Rights. . . .“After more than four years inthe Army, I was approved forexactly a half year in school, andno more. . . .“Fortunately, I can go aheadwith my original study plan, ifI am willing to return to dish¬washing and furnace stoking todo it. That is my problem, andI will work it out. But suppose,as so many now advocate, theGovernment owned and operatedall the schools? Then 1 wouldhave no choice.”TournamentPostponed.

Quoted on request Address all communicaUonsto the Business Manager, The Chicago Maroon.Inflation and the OP AMany of the nation’s economists have in the past few monthsinsisted that the removal of OPA restrictions and regulationswould mean inflation for the United States, but few have de¬scribed inflation. The word itself was intended to convey theidea of disaster. For the American people it does not have thatdeep significance. It denotes the leering bogey-man of a child¬hood fable, hovering in the back-ground threateningly, but notreally dangerous. In reality it is a Damoclean sword over ourheads, and the cord it hangs by has almost parted.The German economic merry-go-round of the early 1920saffords an excellent example of what runaway inflation canmean to the Unted States, in simple economic terms and interms of related political disturbances.At the beginning of the war in 1914 the Gkrman mark—thebasic monetary unit— was worth twenty-five cents. War financ¬ing caused a small drop in its worth, but the real spiral beganin 1919, with the mark equal to eight cents by the end of thatyear. By 1920 it took 84 marks to buy one American dollar. In1922 the ratio was 7,500 marks to one dollar an<} by the end of1923, when the tide finally began to turn, a truck-load of marks—8,000 billion—would only buy a couple of good cigars.German industrialists profitted enormously. Debts and mort¬gages were paid off with worthless paper, huge industrial em¬pires were built on credit and paid for when the inflationaryspiral had reduced the debts to fractions of their original value.The rapid growth of the German cartel system was madepossible by these manipulations, and through the purchases offoreign money and securities—pure swindle, since the mark wasworthless.A large majority of the German middle and lower classeswere reduced to abject poverty. Savings were wiped out, wageswere worthless, the value of fixed incomes dropped to rockbottom, and foreign credit could not be had. The Reichsbankpresses turned out tons and tons of currency, and when thedemand grew still larger, newspapers and magazine pressesbegan printing billions of marks for the government.Uorest and political upheaval followed in the wake of thedestructive spiral. The National Socialist Party—later knownto the world as the Nazis—won its first big victory in the 1924elections by whipping popular discontent into nationalist furyand directing it into witch-hunting activities against the “Jewsand Marxists.” This was accomplished with the aid of a hugeGerman corporation which had bought most of the influentialpublications in the country with inflated currency.It has often been said that World War II grew out of theGerman unrest immediately after World War I. The devastat¬ing inflatfon was the chief factor in that unrest.The parallel is obvious. The war is just over, witch-huntersare actively smearing reputations and can be expected to be*come more violent, and, with the removal of government regu¬lations designed to prevent inflation, we face the same night¬mare that Germany faced 26 years ago.Remembering that out of the German inflation-engineeredby a few officials and industrialist for personal power andprofit—out of that inflation grew a second world war, andremembering that the removal of OPA puts the United Statesat the rnercy of that same spiral and all its attendant economicand political implications, it can not be too strongly urged thatour government immediately re-instate OPA, and adequatelyarm it to protect our present and our future.Wm.

It must seek toimpart information and to encour¬age attitudes supporting world in¬stitutions. A successful programwould broaden horizons beyondeach individual’s nation.’*William S.

There is even lack¬ing a universal opinion concerningthe virtue of observing secularrules and procedures essential toavoid conflict.Fundamental ObstacleSpeaking on barriers to worldpeace, Prof. Wright said, “Govern¬ments will feel in the future asthey have in the past that it isnecessary to maintain their mili¬tary forces and to play the gameof power politics. That is thefundamental obstacle to worldstability and peace.“Under modern conditions ofrationalistic sentiment, politicalrivalry, diverse ideologies, and afeeble world public opinion, astable federation able to enforceworld law is impossible.“Perhaps universal fear of theatom bomb can provide a sub¬stitute for the fear of the externalenemy which has driven lessergroups of people to federation,”Wright suggested. “Perhaps whileplaying the game of power politicsin the Security Council of theUnited Nations, statesmen cangain a breathing spell duringwhich the foundations of theworld community may be streng¬thened through the activities ofthe General Assembly, the Eco¬nomic and Social Council, and thetechnical international agencies.Preventive War Wrong Idea“We must not be misled intosupport of lesser federations as,for instance, a federation includingonly the Western democracies.Such a federation would mobilizepeoples for war, not for peace. Wemust not support premature orpaper federations lacking the sup¬port of a genuine world opinion.Reliance upon inadequate and un¬enforced law may be worse thanno law at all. We must not thinkwe can obtain security by pre¬ventive war.”Wright suggested that one steptoward peace would be the crea¬tion of an educational program tobe carried on in all importantcountries. The educators wouldtry to create the conditions andunderstanding of the world neces-.sary to support world governmentin settling problems of vital im¬portance to all. “In that category,Wright stated, “are atomic energy UC’s Ninth Annual ReadingConference Ends TonightSpeakers HighlightOpening SessionsThe University’s Ninth AnnualConference on Reading, which hasattracted educators from all partsof the country, closes tonight withan address by Lloyd King, Execu¬tive Secretary of the TextbookPublishers Institute of New YorkCity, who will speak on the sub-School children today are betterreaders than their parents were.“The general dissatisfaction in theway young people read is un¬grounded. Standard tests revealthat pupils are reading better today than ever before. In Detroitschools, for example, a recent sur¬vey in the seventh and eighthgrades showed that those boys andgirls were distinctly superior tostudents of 1928.”EXPECT MORE OF STUDENTSWe expect a great deal more ofstudents these days. Gray de¬clared. “School curriculums havebeen greatly enriched. Formerlywe asked pupils to read andmemorize material in a few fields.Now we ask them to read and in¬terpret, as well as remember.Teachers of past generations askedstudents to read a small amount ofmaterial, following an intensivereading pattern. Today we areasking them to read widely, in¬tensely, and for a greater varietyof purposes.”“It used to be that students whocouldn’t read well were failed ordropped out of school. Today lawrequires that they remain in schooluntil they are 16 years old. Schoolsadvance students now in harmonywith their social and physical de¬velopment. As a result you arelikely to find poor readers, withfourth or fifth grade ability, inhigh schools.”TEACHERS MUST BE ALERT.Gray maintained that thepopular slogan, “Every teacher isa teacher of reading,” is not thewisest one to use. “The mathema¬tics teacher, for example, is pri¬marily responsible for teaching theinsights and understandings thatcharacterize his field. In doing this he uses various aids to learn¬ing, like motion pictures and read¬ing.“Every teacher should know thelevel of reading ability among hispupils and assign materials thatare possible to comprehend. Hemust alert to new difficultiesin reading that are peculiar to hissubject, such as new terms, graphs,formula, and diagrams. If hewants the class to read a hardertext than they are ready for, thenhe should help them to overcomethe reading difficulties involved.” ject: “The Outlook for the Future.”King’s address will be given at7;30 p.m. in ro<Mn 126 of the Grad¬uate Education Building.William S.

We needinformation from experts on the''ast complexity of problems on'vhich we have to make decisions.URGES REORGANIZATION“I often feel,” he added, “asense of frustration on the im-*hensity of the tasks which face a Congressman. It shocks one intoa sense of responsibility. We musthave reorganization Jn Congresswhich will help get over the time‘hurdle’ which faces every mem¬ber.”Mrs. Douglas agreed with Dirk-sen upon the importance of bothresearch assistance and adminis¬trative helpers for the membersof Congress and pointed out thenecessity of action on the pendingReorganization Bill. She alsostressed the need for more jointlegislative action and cooperationwith the Executive, as providedin the Reorganization Bill.“The accord on foreign affairs,”she said, “illustrates how coopera¬tive action can facilitate action onpressing problems. On the otherhand, the mess in domestic affairsshows the need for means of pro¬viding effective legislation in thisfield.“Congress, I find,” Mrs. Doug¬las added, “generally reflects thestrong divisions of opinion whichexist in the country as a whole.These opinions, after the moreunified situation during the war,have tended to be exaggerated indealing with postwar problems.Each side feels that it is right, andit is hard to dissolve the differ¬ences.

It is nowtime, he said, to work on domesticissues.“Disagreement,” Smith said, “isthe lifeblood of representativegovernment, but it must be theresult of informed opinion andknowledge. Both Congressmenand citizens need more educationand greater knowledge to makethe decisions necessary today. Itdoes not help in this job to havethe two houses of Congress fightbetween themselves nor to haveCongress and the President fight¬ing. We must get to a point wherewe have honest, constructive dis¬agreement in the making of im¬portant decisions. ’ “If one is concerned about howa democracy shall survive in anatomic age, there is scant encour¬agement to be found in the kindand extent of reading done byadult citizens, Howard R. Ander¬son of the United States office ofeducation said Tuesday at theReading Conference.“Certain findings of the Na¬tional Opinion Research Center ofthe University of Denver (1946)show that three adults in five donot regard reading as a favoritespare-time activity.“Although many in this groupdoubtless tune in on radio news¬casts, there is no way of knowingthe extent to which they listen toserious discussions of public af¬fairs. People interviewed listedhuman behavior, interesting per¬sonalities, and home-making asfavorite subjects. The fact thatpolitics and science and inventionrank low rmong the topics foundmost interesting is discouraging.Civic Competence Needed“We are living in a period whena high level of civic competence onthe part of all citizens is urgentlyneeded,” Anderson declared. “Inorder to make wise decisions,people must be well informedabout public affairs. They mustbe disposed to do serious readingand must understand how to tapsources of information. They mustbe able to think straight aboutquestions which are difficult tounderstand, both because of theissues involved and because ofefforts to suppress truth and toappeal to the emotions.”Anderson encouraged the read¬ing programs in social studies nowbeing carried on in many schools.“Students should be encouraged todo three types of reading sys-temtically: newspapers and newsmagazines; magazines which con¬tain authoritative feature articlesdealing with important issues andproblems; and books written bycompetent authors, which treat important aspects of world affairs.Emphasize Social Studies“The conditions now prevailingin this country and the world sug¬gest what kind of reading in socialstudies should be emphasized.Youth in our schools should andare developing reading habits tokeep them informed about publicaffairs. They are acquiring knowl¬edge which may be used in think¬ing and reaching conclusions aboutimportant social issues and prob¬lems.“By the time the average pupilhas reached the last year of seniorhigh school or junior college, heshould be far more competent todeal with important issues andproblems than is the average adultcitizen of today.”CommunistsHold ForumThe Communist Club Tuesdayholds its first forum of the quar¬ter in Rosenwald 2 when DavidEnglestern, educational director ofthe Illinois district of the Com¬munist Party, addresses the groupon “The United Nations Today.”The meeting is scheduled for 3:15.Plans of the club for the quar¬ter also include a series of weeklystudy circles in Marxist-Leninistphilosophy. Purpose of the series,according to a club announcement,is to study “the philosophicalbasis by which the U.S.S.R. andthe Communist parties of othercountries conduct their affairs andactions.”The expression “to drink atoast” is connected with an oldEnglish custom of putting a pieceof toast in the wine-cup beforedrinking, from a notion that itimproved the flavor, according tothe Encyclopaedia Britannica.Appoint Blough in EconThe Department of Economicsannounces the appointment of RayBlough, head of the Division ofTax Research in Washington, asProfesfor of Economics and Polit¬ical Science, effective September1.
