Shape Platforms InAVC Election FightOn FeWuary 13, the campus chapter of AVC will holdits election to choose officers for the University. Realizingthat the issues involved are complicated and obscured bymany factors and personalities, the MAROON feels that thefairest way to cover the election and to present the issuesto its readers is to give the people involved the opportunityto express their views. With that in mind, the MAROONprints the following two letters, written by the candidatesof the two factions in AVC.the action ticket ...What will the future policy of AVC become?The opposition has temptingly suggested: 1) Red-baiting—andparalyse the effectiveness of AVC—until a group of personally ambi¬tious young men can gain control; 2) Water down the Chapter’s pro¬gram until AVC is indistinguishable from the American Legion;3> Have the activities of AVC conform to the standards of “respecta-Dility” presumably demanded by future employers.This is what Elbert Cole and his slate call a platform.This is not'a program we consider adequate for the AmericanVeterans Committee. As members of the University of Chicago chapter,we have in the past and will in the future vigorously support thefollowing course of ACTION:^ It Give support to labor, physically and morally, even on thepicket line.2* Less debate—more action—to solve Chicago’s race problem.3> Continued aggressive support to rent control on campus,increased vets family allowances, improved service at student health.We will not “go slow.’’ We will not always be “respectable.”But we will vigorously and judiciously attack every problem whichcoixcerns us as citizens.and veterans!LI.OYD HOGAN for Chairman; PETE SENN for Vice-Chairman; RUSS AUSTIN for Area Council Delegate;SHERWOOD MILLER for Area Council Delegate; JULIAJVIE.\DOW for Secretary; GERT WOOD for Treasurer; LEOREEDER for Domestic Affairs; JACK MELTZER for Po¬litical; RALPH WOOD for Civil Liberties; MARK REINS-BERfi for Veterans Problems; and LEN STEIN for ForeignAffairs.• • *THE PROGRESSIVE TICKET ...The issue in the coming election is the future of AVC. The choiceis between AVC, a# a small “militant.” resolution-passing organizationor AVC as a large, strong, liberal veterans organizations in the tradi¬tion of the. American liberal movement and the New Deal.T fip uasic issue appears most clearly on the national level. Thereis developing a well-organized, nationwide attempt to capture con¬trol of AVC at the June National Convention.This faction can best be symbolized in the person and activitiesof Fred Borden of New York. Borden sought control of last year’sDe.s Moines convention by a malicious attack on the Bolte-Harrisongroup charging them with red-baiting. Borden is preparing for theNational AVC Convention in June by discrediting the national ad¬ministration in the eyes of the members without making any con-sti active proposals to the administration itself. His objective is notthe best interests of AVC, but to gain political control. If the Bordenfoices succeed, AVC will be stigmatized as •<% Communist dominatedorganization. This will stunt our future growth and effectivenessa.s a progressive force. AVC would become a small radical group.It is on 4his matter of control that the communist issue arises.The same cleavage is affecting the bulk of the American liberalmovement. It is the origin of the CIO stand in Communism. There isno communist problem in this chapter, but the faction we opposeis of the radical type who will follow a policy which will lead thiscliapter and AVC into the kind of “militant action,” resolution-passingfuture we wish to avoid. The abortive squatters movement character¬izes the sort of action we reject. *There are two basic differences between us and the opposition.Tlie first is that they want to make of AVC what is basically a“militant” radical organization, while we want to make of AVC whatis basically a progressive, reform group. The second, concomitant ofthe first, is that they will vote with the Borden forces, while we sup¬port the ideals to which the founder and leader of AVC, Mr. Bolteand Mr. Harrison, are dedicated.ELBERT COLE, for Chairman; FRANK CLIFF7 forVice-Chairman; ROD DeCAMP, and BILL BIRENBAUM,for Area Council Delegates; ROSEMARY FORSYTHE, forSecretary; ROBERT BAILEY, for Treasurer; RAY MUNTZ,for Domestic Affairs; CARL ZERFOSS, for Civil Liberties;PAUL TODD, for Political; STANLEY DURKA, for Veter¬ans’ Problems; and KURT MELCHIOR, for Foreign Affairs.__Debaters Co To DenverFor Three Day SessionFour members of the University collegiate debate teamwill leave for Denver and the Rocky Mountain Speechconference Wednesday for a three-day meet with overforty competing midwestern and western schools.Two teams, Lowden Wingo and William Birenbaum,and Toni Savalli and Phil Ruben,will debate.both sides of the na- og^ve Brodes and Waltertional question, “Should labor Good, the moderator,have a direct share in the man- Capital University sent twoagement of industry.” teams to meet U. of C. squadsRacial Prejudice Discussed here last Tuesday night.

It is hoped that theget-together spot, conveniently lo¬cated, will provide an antidote forthe morgue-like pall that hangsover the Midway Sunday evenings.The Student Union committeein charge of arrangements for theclub hjdicated that plans havebeen completed for the clearingof a dance floor, in size compar¬able to those of any of the loopnight spots. Tables will be pushedback against the wall for thecrowds expected to patronize thesoda fountain. Since there will beno cover or minimum charge, awhole evening of fun will involvelittle expense. All of the facilitiesat Ida Noyes will be availableuntil 11 p.m. including the loungesand game rooms.Under the leadership of BobBailey, president of the newlyformed board, Tom Remington, June Miller, Rosemary Raymond,Larry Yellin, Holly Taylor, MaryNewsome, Barbara Barke, MarvinBailin, Virginia Martin, Dick Gor¬don, Jdsette Dermody, JosephineNeal, Jay Qlick and Mike Wein¬berg plans for the club have beencompleted in cooperation withCommons, the Ida Noyes’ staffand the dean’s office.The contest to choose anappropriate name for thishaven of bored students endson Sunday. A box for the en¬tries has been placed in thefoyer of Ida Noyes; the con¬test closes at 11:00 Sundaynight. The lure of a ten dollarprize is expected to set theimaginations of everyone towork.

Hesaid his opponent had foughtthe organization only after hehad been told he was throughin organizational politics.'Moss countered, as he has donethroughout the campaign byclaiming that his voting recordwas clean and open for inspection,that he had secured the resigna¬tion of McCahey, and that thatwas all that was necessary. Inregard to his connection with theRepublican machine, he said hehad been aided by it in the lastelection, but had made no com¬mitments and had resisted anypressure from it.He charged that his oppo¬nents had resorted to mud-slinging, and said that he didnot intend to sink to that tac¬tics. He would rest his elec¬tion on his record, he said,and he would not change thatrecord “one iota* *if he wereable.On the controversial housingissue, Merriam charged Moss withfailing to take steps to provideadequate facilities. “A vigorous,youthful appraisal” is needed byChicago, he said, pointing to hisown education in city-planning asadequate qualification. He pro¬posed immediate housing for alland a long-range plan designedto make Chicago “a good city inwhich to live.”Two other candidates sharedthe platform with Merriiun andMoss. They were Joseph Gilbert,a lawyer, who scored both candi¬dates with being machine-backed,and James Stampley, a Negroveteran..tOTTLEO UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BYCOCOA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY OF CHICAGO, INC. -7Pog« 4 • ' u" - V ^ _ > r' ‘ ■•THE CHICAGO A^AROON Februory 7, I947A VC and the MdroonWe are taken to task this week by the Executive Councilof the University of Chicago chapter of the AmericanVeterans Committee for presenting a partial report of theAVC activities on campus, and for making no attempt togive proper coverage to the constructive actions takenby AVC.With regard to the charges made against the MAROON,we say that the responsibility lies, not entirely with theMAROON, but partly with the leadership of the AVCchapter here. Because, contrary to opinion apparentlyprevalent in AVC, the MAROON is eager to see a flourish¬ing and useful chapter at the U. of C., we will endeavor toclarify the situation.In an article on the AVC chapter at Chicago whichappeared in the columns of the MAROON at the beginningof the current academic year (September 23, 1946), we hadthis to say of the chapter: “In the year ahead, with manyhundred new vets on campus, and with continued aggres¬sive leadership, AVC can easily assume the role of campusleader — the much needed liberal balance wheel on theU. of C. campus.”AVC has not lived up to the expectations the campushad for it at that time. Ever since its elections last fall,the split in AVC has been generally- recognized and hasbeen remarkably effective in preventing any general con¬structive action by the chapter with respect to the problemswhich the chapter wished to consider ... in the fleld ofcivil liberties, in the field of veteran affairs, and in thefields of foreign and domestic affairs, particularly thehousing and labor problems which confront not onlyveterans but many millions of other American citizens.We are inclined to believe that the leadership of AVCis interested in finding a scapegoat to blame for the lackof constructive action — action which it accuses theMAROON of failing to publicize. The chapter has an ex¬cellent opportunity here to do something constructive. Butthey have been stalemated by destructive factionalismwhich can accomplish nothing. Before the AVC chapterran up against its blind wall of bitter namecalling and futilefactionalism, the MAROON made every effort to publicizethe constructive actions which the chapter undertook.Now we are charged with making undue play uponA VC’s political problems.The campus is interested in AVCand in what it does. Its efforts of late have been quitepolitical. There is no other news.The Executive Council, presumably speaking for AVC’sentire membership, has not chosen to consider that theMAROON is dependent upon reporters who are also stu¬dents in the University. They have not the time to devotefull and complete attention to each organization that con¬cerns a sizable group of the student body. Thus, it is oftennecessary to assign coverage of a. particular group to amember of that organization who is also on the staff ofthe MAROON. This is the case with AVC. The MAROONhas two men who have been supplying it with stories onAVC. They come from what might be called the twoopposing camps. It is difficult to imagine that a completelyunbiased report on AVC’s activities could come from menwho are interested in the internal problems of AVC as such.The MAROON is confident that these t^o reporters aredoing their best to present the news in as straightforwardmanner as possible. But the very nature of the presentsetup in AVC makes this hard to do.Disputes which have hamstrung constructive actionby AVC locally can be, and should be, ironed out. Whenand if it becomes possible for the MAROON to adequatelycover AVC from outside the chapter, perhaps we shall bebetter able to give AVC the coverage which it feels it hasbeen denied. But until that time, we see our position asbeing the best solution of our mutual interest in presentingthe news of AVC to the campus, and to its many studentswho cannot be active participants in the AVC. LETTERS TOTHE EDITOR"IF . . . THE MAROONIS SINCERE ..."The long time tradition ofJournalism on this campus hasbeen to emphasize positive ac¬tivity and not to resort to cheapsensationalism.If the MAROv>N is truly sin¬cere in its effort to developworthy activities at this Univers¬ity, it could do well to examine itsown news policy.The MAROON has consistentlygiven space and attention to thepolitical ‘problems of the localchapter of the American VeteransCommittee. In regard to AVCpolitical problems, we feel thatif the MAROON would limit itseditorial comments to its edi¬torial column's, rather than inter¬jecting the bias of its editors intonews stories, the campus wouldhave more accurate informationabout our organization and theMAROON staff could not be ac¬cused of taking a factional posi¬tion in AVC problems.On the other hand, it has beenclear that the MAROON has lit¬tle or no interest in proper cov¬erage being given to constructiveaction taken by AVC.A particular example of thisattitude can be seen in the cov¬erage given by the MAROON tothe recent dance, co-sponsoredby this chapter of AVC and theUnited Negro and Allied Veteransof America. This event designedto promote interracial understand -ing was more than a social af¬fair existing in a vacuum. It wasa concrete step toward inter¬racial understanding. That thedance was a success was throughno help of the MAROON.When AVC takes the lead insuch ventures, it would seem thatthe campus newspaper would dowell to support it, through ade¬quate news coverage. It is in¬teresting to contrast the amountof space given to this dance, withthe build-up of other social func¬tions of a less vital nature.The Executive Council of AVCrealizes that it can not deter¬mine the editorial policy of theMAROON, nor does it contem¬plate objecting to the amplespace given to AVC activities. But,we do feel that the judgement ofthe MAROON editors in theirtreatment of AVC news has beenbiased and faulty.We hope that in the future,you will see fit to publicize thepositive efforts made by our or-gani2;ation..THE EXECUTIVE COUNCILAVC NO. 3, The Chicago MaroonThe Universityof Chicogo Officiol StHdentNewspoperACP lU^Ameriemn, l»4S, 1946Published every Friday during the academic year except during examlruitlonperiods by THE CHICAGO MAROON, an Independent student organization of theUniversity of Chicago.

On the following night Julius Huehn,baritone from the “Met” will give a recital at Mandel hallor the University of Chicago settlement benefit.- By BETTY STEARNSThere’s nothing new under the sun—in the theatrethat’s almost a truism. Eugene O’Neill was well aware of itwhen he culled “Mourning Becomes Electra” from Aeschy¬lus’ “Oresttia” and Euripidps’ “Electra and Orestes.” IfAeschylus did it first, Aeschylus also did a better job of it.O’Neiirs play is little more thanSunday, February 16,^the Col-pgium Musicum, under, the lead-rship of Dr. Siegmund* Levarie,vjll give its first concert of theurrent quarter, and judgingrom the program, it will be anmusually interesting evening,rhe Collegium will present “So-lata a tre violini con basso se>iace” by Giovanni Gabrieli, thearliest known composition (ca600) written for four string in-truments alone and the precur-or of the modern string quartet.The Mangificat of JohannesMartini, an a capella compositionor four voices, exceptionally dar-og for its time (15th century),nd the performance of two can-atas of J.

The latter, a soloantata for baritone, will bringack to the University for theirst time since the war Robert>piro. baritone, as soloist. He wasirst heard on campus in 1938'hen he pinch hit on short no-ice in a Hindemith cantata. Heppeared again in 1941 in thearitonc lead of JLortzing’s “Ar-lorer.” The concert will be atie University Church of Disci-les of Christ, 5655 S, Universityvenue. The program will begint 8:30 p.m. and admission willp free.Of more immediate inter¬est, however, are two con¬certs to be held at Mandelhail, tonight and on Mondayevening at 8:30 p.m. We willwelcome back AlexanderSrhneider, violin, and RalphKirkpatrick, h a r p s i chord,who were heard here together sensational; Aeschylus has gran¬deur, depth and most importantof. all, timelessness.There is a difference after all men is and diction are veryoften used on our contempor¬ary stage.“Agamemnon,” the first play inlast year for the first timeand had sensational success.In these two evenings theywill perform 11 compositions,somewhat modifying theirprogram from the originallyscheduled one.This evening they play Corelli’sP Major Sonata, Bach’s SonataNo. 5 in Fb Minor, Walter Piston’sSonatina, Bach’s E Minor Sonata,Veracini’s Sonata No. 9 in AMajor and Mach’s G Minor Fu¬gue. The concert on Monday willinclude two sonatas by Mozartin E flat Major, Kochel 302 and481, respectively, Couperin’s Cin-quieme Concert, Leclair’s A Mi¬nor Sonata, Opus 5 No. 7 and theSonata for violin and harpsichordby Darius Milhaud.Messrs. Schneider andKirkpatrick first met in 1941when the Budapest StringQuartet, to which Mr. Schnei¬der belonged at the time, wasplaying at Williamsburg,where Mr. Kirkpatrick wasconducting a series of fes¬tivals of 18th century cham¬ber music. For three yearsthey played together for theirown satisfaction, and afterMr. Schneider’s break withthe Budapest Quartet theybegan concertizing in 1944.They have revived numeroussonatas for violin and harpsi¬chord of the 17th and 18th cen¬tury which were in the processof gradual extinction from con¬certs, at the same time includingin their repertoire virtually allthe modem compositions, ofwhich there are but too few., for^violin and harpsichord. between a play that is old and the Aeschylian trilogy mentionedone that is dated. “Agamemnon,.” before, the “Orestia,” was firstwhich the Players Guild will produced in Athens 2403 yearsproduce on February 20, is eter- ^80.

Aeschylus’ trilogy, whichWhen the 'curtain goes up on ends with the symbolic estab-Aeschylus’ tragedy we will beexpected to forget O’Neill andIbsen and Heilman—to forgettraditional staging and modernmethods of acting. We will haveto put aside our concepts of arealistic theatre and accept aformalistic one.Although formalism is asold as the drama, it is just asvalid a style in theatre asimpressionism or realism orany of the other isms his¬torians are so fond of using.Today formalism is larg'* 'associated with Greek times,but as a matter of fact achorus and stylized move- lishment of the Areopagoswas writen, not as a defenseof either reactionaries orliberals, but as a general de¬fense of the higher justice ofthe courts as against the oldblood justice.Although the trilogy can be un-derstod on this political level itcan also be Interpreted in a re¬ligious light. Its theme, accord¬ing to one critic, is not the tragicworkings of a mind, it is thatmen of violence do things whichoutrage justice, bring retributi-tion and provoke* further deedsof violence. In other words, sinbegets sin, and it is only throughsuffering that man as an individ¬ ual and in society can find re¬demption.The “Agamemnon” is atragedy of doom, and al¬though there is an illusion offree will, the characters arereally just patvns in thehands of the gods. All weneed to know about the char¬acters. is that they are violentenough to play up the situa¬tion.The situation in the Agamem¬non is roughtly this: Clytemnes-tra is bent on revenging her hus¬band Agamemnon’s murder oftheir daughter Iphigenia, andAgesthus, Clytemnestra’s lovermust revenge a horrible deedpractised on Iiis father. Duringthe play, Agamemnon, king ofArgos and commander of theGreek host that went to Troyto recover Helen, returns homevictorius accompanied by theTrojan king’s daughter Cassan¬dra, his eciptiuo and concubine.Clytemnesta, with the aid ofAgesthus, murders both Agamem¬non and Cassandra, fulfilling thelater’s prophecy.This quite magnificent bloodand thunder play is rarely givenexcept in university communities.Unlike the “Oedipus, “Antigone”and the “Medea,” it does not seemto attract Broadway producers.The Players Guild and especiallythe director, Robert Carter, hasplanned something unusual andwe hope something stirring forcampus audiences.ilMIIIlIIIIIi5 ^Lavamof^ Sun FaltaN^Kl Norvirio do T^avado y DryCleaaing de la Universiidad(Tamhien se hahla ingles aqui)WHEN YOU WANTREALLYGOOD FOODENJOYED BY UNIVERSITY STUDENTSFOR OVER SIXTEEN YEARSRECOMMENDED BY DUNCAN HINESCOLONIAL RESTAURANT6324 WOODLAWN AVENUECLOSED WEDNESDAYS ALAMODEby Reinsberg’The rumor that a bronze statueof Jan Masaryk, Czech nationalhero, riding his horse into battlemay soon be placed atop, its mar¬ble' pedestal at the east end ofthe Midway, yesterday convulsedthe quadrangles in a shudder ofalarm.
