With thisnew plan came an emancipationfor students and faculty. Chicago’sfour freedoms created a campusunique in its opportunities for in¬dividual expansion and expression.Freedom from compulsory class at¬tendance; freedom from advancingat a prescribed rate regardless ofability; freedom from interferencein extra-curricular activities andpersonal life; and freedom fromrestrictions on independence ofthought.The Administration and ActivitiesThe first, second and fourth ofthe.se freedoms are self-explantory.The third, freedom from inter¬ference in extra-curricular activi¬ties and personal life, needs am-pUfleation.Basic in the philosophy of Chi¬cago education is the assumptionthat the University knows whatthe student needs to equip himwith a liberal education. As thisprinciple determines the fields ofknoweldge in which college stu¬dents are required to demonstratecompetence, so does it limit andconfine the scope of their extra¬curricular activities.Mr. Hutchins has said, “This is ★ ★ ★Robert M. Hutchinsan educational institution.” Edu¬cation is the supreme end towardwhich all activity on campus is di¬rected. Thus a criterion is estab¬lished: if it furthers the cause ofa liberal education, fine; if not,out it goes. With this limitation inmind the third freedom may berestated. Students are free to par¬ticipate in and to create thoseextra-curricular projects whichdo not become ends in themselves.When these bounds are violated,administration support is dropped.Thus there is no emphasis on sports except for sport’s sake, pub¬lications donate their profits to asinking fund and staffs work forthe love of working, not for money,and so down the line of studentorganizations.Social ActivitiesSocial activities on campus arealso affected by the emphasis onthe intellectual. There are nodances everyone feels he must at¬tend. Complete social equality be¬tween freshman and graduate stu¬dent rules class dances out of thequestion. There are no before-the-game rallys or post-game wakes.These events, traditional on uni¬versity and college campuses else¬where, have long been discarded asout of tune with the purposes ofChicago. In their place has comea regular schedule of dances,parties and programs sponsoredby the Social Committee, the Stu¬dent Union and a multitu<ie ofsmaller groups. They are usuallysmall affairs, and, with rare ex¬ception, are devoid of universityovertones.School spirit does not exist. Inits place is the more nebulous“urge to learn” which binds fac¬ulty and students into a “com¬munity of scholars,” the dreamof William Rainey Harper, firstpresident of the University. Aroundthis concept of a scholarly com¬munity all University activities areoriented and by its image allthings are judged. Interfraternity Council will holdits first dance of the season from9 to 12 p.m., October 4, in IdaNoyes. The affair will be open tothe entire campus and no admis¬sion will be charged.Jimmy MaeShane and his band,recently featured at the VikingBallroom, will furnish the music.The dance will be dateless, inthe tradition of the summer events,except of course, for engaged''ormarried couples. This point wasstressed by Dick Gibbs, IF presi¬dent, who urged campus coopera¬tion in keeping the dance a date¬less,affair.The October dance opens a twoweek rushing period for campusfraternities designed to introducestudents to the local chapters.Each house will hold an openhouse during that time; from 7:30to 9:30 in the evening accordingto the following schedule:.October 6 — Sigma Chi, PhiGamma Delta.October 8—Beta Theta Pi, PhiDelta Theta.October 9—Zeta Beta Tau, PsTUpsilon.OctoberUpsilon.October 15—Phi Sigma Delta,Delta Kappa Epsilon.October 16—Phi Kappa Psi, PiLambda Phi.At the end of this period, divi¬sional students will be free topledge fraternities.13—Alpha Delta, Delta Near Miss forBirenbaum AsCroup PrexyHeadquarters of the Na¬tional Student Organizationhave been moved from Chi¬cago to Madison, Wis., wherethe infant association’s firstyear program will get underway.

There delegatesfrom the national unions of stu¬dents of 51 nations gathered, andthere the International Union ofStudents was formed.The American delegation to thisCongress consisted of 10 studentselected by the student bodies of10 large universities, and 15 rep¬resentatives of various Americanstudent organizations. Upon theirreturn to the United States theycalled the historic Chicago Stu¬dent conference, held at the Uni¬versity of Chicago during theChristmas holidays of 1946. -More than 300 colleges anduniversities sent official studentdelegates to the Conference,which set up the National Con¬tinuations committee and madebasic decisions concerning theorganizational structure and tionship to world problems.NSO will have the power to ac¬complish a great deal for the wel¬fare of students, if students takean interest in it, and devote sometime and energy to making it servetheir interests.To learn more about this or¬ganization, students are urged toconsult this and subsequent issuesof the MAROON, and to visit thenational offices of the organiza¬tion.

Monday, September 22, I947Renaissance SocietyArt, Music, BalletThe Renaissance Society was formed thirty years aeoto stimulate interest in the visual arts, painting and sculp,ture. When a deparment of art was added to the UniveNsity Curriculm, the Society continued its activities and ex¬hibits in conjunction with the department.In recent years the Renaissance Society has expandedits interests to include all phases of the fine arts, and haspresented musical programs and dance recitals. In 1938Serge Prokofiev played a program of his own music, andsince then, the Society has continued to present outstand¬ing personalities in the various art fields.Until a year ago, the Renais- —sance Society was made up of andfunctioned for the members oftho University community andfaculty. Last year a group of tenstudents proposed that studentsbe admitted to active participa¬tion; for the past, students wereinvited to all exhibits and pro-Leonard Bernsteingrams but had no i>art in plan¬ning them. This proposal was ac¬cepted and acted upon.Under the new Student Com¬mittee the Society has presentedsong recitals by Janet Fairbankand Romolo de Spirito; exhibi¬tions of paintings in both Good-speed Gallery and Ida Noyes Hall; a lecture by semanticist S. i.Hayakawa; and a Mozart operaprogram by Opera Theatre, Inc.The highpoint of last year’s .'Rea¬son was the premiering of threeone-act ballets and a series of sixlecture demonstrations on “TheDance.” Presented were such out¬standing authorities as RuthPage, Leonard Bernstein, SybilShearer, Ray Bolger, Ann Barzel,and Antony Tudor. An estimated8000 people attended this .series.'This fall the organization willpresent a program more variedthan ever before. A series of lec¬tures on “The Theater” by famedstage figures; a musical programtracing the development of theballad from the Elizabethian Ageto Modern Blues; and, in coopera¬tion with the department of mu¬sic, the presentation of an 18thcentury opera are scheduled lorthe first quarter.Any student on campus maytake advantage of the small mem¬bership fee of one dollar per yearwhich entitles the member to re¬served seats for open functionsand reduced rates on admissionprices. Membership ma^ be se¬cured at the Galleries of the Ren¬aissance Society in GoodsptedHall.Harper Library houses one ofthe nation’s best Lincoln reliccollections.Double Concert ProgramPresented Through YearMusic at the U. of C. is always interesting.Whether it is a concert series or a program given by one of theUniversity’s music groups, you never have to listen to the overplayednumbers of concert halls.We have two concert series spon.^^ored by the University.The Music Department pre.sents the so-called “University Con¬certs” at Mandel HaH during the year. They are devoted to varioustypes of chamber music and feature the outstanding chamber groupsof America.The organizations to be heard this year include, among others,the Albeneii trio, the Gordon Quartet, the Fine Arts Quartet, IsacStern, and most important of all, the Guilet Quartet. In its U. of C.debut last winter the Guilet group disclo.sed some of the best chamber-music playing w’e have ever heard.Programs are made up of a well-balanced selection of modern,classical and romantic compositions.'The series is designed primarily as a set of 11 subscription con¬certs, fou;f concerts each during the autumn and winter quarters andthree concerts in the .spring.Our other .set of concerts is called the “Chamber Music Series”and is presented at Kimball Hall, 306 S. Wabash, downtown in Chicago.The main difference between these and Mandel Hall concertsis the pre.sence of a lecture before the musical portion of the program.The lecturers are in part members of the U. of C. faculty, in partgue.sts from other music .schools.This series, presented by the University College, includes 10concerts on alternate Wednesdays. There are five concerts duringthe fall and five during tl'.e winter.Reader’sThe CAMPUS DRUG STOREWelcomes YonVISIT THE COLLEGE ROOMServing Fine FoodfS.E.

Most studentswould like to believe that thesimilarities in human beingsare more important than thedifferences: International Houseturns this theory into practicalexperience, and thereby betterequips the majority of its alumnito live in a world which must in¬evitably become international,whether by constructive or de¬structive forces.Chicago’s International HouseIs the result of a movement whichbegan in New York In 1910, whena group organized Informally forthe purpose of bringing foreignstudents into American homes andsocial life. Finally, in 1924, Mr.John D. Rockefeller. Jr., who hadbecome interested in the Inter¬national House movement and inthe problems of adjustment whichall foreign students must face,built the first International House,on Riverside Drive in New YorkCity. In 1927 he donated funds fora second house in Berkeley, Cali¬fornia; in 1930, he founded theChicago House. Completed in 1932,“Int House” was given to the Uni¬versity of Chicago, A fourth housewas opened in Paris in 1936.In a typical week at the House,there are four regular evenings ofdancing (Viennese Waltzing, PolkDancing, Spanish Club Dance andFriday Frolic). Frequently, resi¬dents are invited to informalSaturday evening dances or toSunday afternoon tea dances.Once each quarter, members ofthe staff and special committeesof residents organize a formaldance, oi>en to members of theUn^ersity Community. A differ¬ent national or cultural theme isselected for each dance. The titlesof the 1946-47 dances reveal thescope of International House resi¬dent talent: The Philippine Ball(Summer, 1946); Ragnarok, orthe Last Dance of the Vikings(Autumn, 1946); The Walti (Win¬ter, 1947); Latin-American Festi- Down on the M{dway near the IC b Chicago’s InternationalHouse, a unique community of 500 people from 36 countries.

Plans are already be¬ing made for a Halloween Carni¬val at which various nationalgroups will set up display booths,fortune-telling shops and sideshows.On the intellectual plane, theHouse offers its residents discus¬sion meetings, lectures, and rec¬ord concerts. Some of these pro¬grams are arranged and conduct¬ed entirely by resident groups. Astudent newspaper, “The Int-For-mer” offers foreign and Americanstudents an oppiortunity to joinin group work in writing and inart.The House sponsors a programof selected foreign motion pic¬tures, to which residents andmembers of the University Com¬munity are invited.While most of the activities arenow designed for residents, theHouse occasionally plans programsto which all members of the Uni¬versity Community . may come.Foreign students are urged to come to the House, even thoughthey may not be residents. Therethey will find the Office of theAdviser to Foreign Students, rfhdthey will be able to meet residentsfrom their own country andthrough them students frommany countries. Also available toforeign students in the Chicagoarea is a course in English, forwhich no charge is made.36 Countries RepresentedThe residents, some five hun¬dred thirty-five in number, comefrom 36 different countries. (Inthe Autumn Quarter, 1946, 42countries were represented.) About40 per cent of the curient groupcome from countries outside thecontinental United States. Manyof these students are sent bytheir own governments to study inthis counti-y.The House also operates a limit¬ed program of student aid andfellowships for foreign students.The residents of the House studyin all the Divisions and in nearlyall of the Professional Schools ofthe University of Chicago.

Smaller dances are held inform¬ally in the halls themselves throughout the year and are planned andexecuted by the dormitory government. Record concerts, floor partie.s,open hou.ses and faculty dinners complete the program.Activities Run by MembersEach hall has a social chairman elected from the house at large.There are no requirements as to age or residence in the house system.Her committee formulates a tentative plan for the hall and submits itto the hou.se meeting for approval and discussion. Some of the hallshave traditional events such as the open house and Kelly Hall’s “Cab¬aret,” but the program remains flexible and is largely determined bythe students themselves.Sports are not neglected. There is an active intramural competi¬tion between the halls in swimming, baseball, volleyball, basketballand tennis. Associate members take part in this program as well asresidents. Every girl registered in the college is either a resident mem¬ber of a house or an associate member.During the coming week every effort will be made to make thedormitories a real part of the members’ lives. Three or four hou.ses’meetings will be called, the constitutions of the houses will be read andexplained by the house officers, songs will be sung, parties will behad. Miss Nellie Eastburn, head of Green Hall, said that she hopedevery new girl would become acquainted with the staff members andfellow housemates during the week, and urged all students who arereturning to make the job an easy and pleasant one.Monday.

Dormitory System To HaveNew Recreational ProgramA social and intellectual program planned in greatdetail will be presented in the dormitory system in 1947-48.Discussions of problems suggested by students will be ledby members of the faculty invited to the houses for informalget-togethers. Concerts, plays and the opera will be spon¬sored by house funds, sometimes reducing their cost by half.Field trips to art galleries, museums, and other placesof interest in the city will be available. A common libraryof paintings for individual rooms is being collected andmost house lounges are equpped with a phonograph andstocked with classical and modern records.Dorm Athletic ProgramRecreation and social life willbe an integral part of the dormi¬tory program. A schedule of inter¬dorm athletics, sponsored in con¬junction with the Department ofAthletics has been planned intouch football, basketball andsoftball. Interhouse competition inminor sports is also on the newathletic docket.Weekly dances in the mainlounges of the courts, sponsoredby the houses in turn, highlight the social activity of the week.Frequent exchange dinners andoutings co-p'anned with the girlsdormitories make getting ac¬quainted on campus an easier job.Students Determine ProgramsA large share of the directionof the individual programs in thehouses will be vested in govern¬ments elected in each house andin a central student council com¬posed of representatives from thevarious houses.The program of Burton-Judsonside in a residence hall. In 1893 aplan for house organization wasapproved by the Board of Trusteesand the Toil owing year Kelly, Fos¬ter, and Beecher halls were openedto students for the first time. Butthe growth of the university wasmeteoric, and the need for fundsfor research, faculty, and labora¬tories and' classrooms was over¬whelming. Simultaneously frater¬nities arrived on the Chicagoscene, replacing the functions of aresidence system. The dormitoriesbecame an orphan in the univer¬sity’s scheme of things.The spur of Robert MaynardHutchin’s new college plan andthe likelihood of increased collegeenrollment induced the universityin 1932 to build Burton and Jud¬son court, but the conception of aresidence halls program with anexplicit purpose was more then adecade in the future.*In 1942, in the midst of the war,the university announced that ithad drafted a new college programbeginning with the junior year ofhigh school. To house its nucleusof 36 students the university leased“College House” from the PhiKappa Pi fraternity, and nameddirector of its one-building “dor¬mitory system” was Dr. ThomasHall, a biologist.

Allmen in the college not livingwithin the courts are assigned toone of the houses as associatemembers. This is part of the planto help the student become trulyeducated in every phase of hislife.Last year’s attempt to interest non-members in the social pro¬gram in the houses failed. Re¬newed efforts are being made thisfall to make the plan work andrealize President Harper’s dreamof having every student activelyparticipating in the dormitoryprograms.Page 16 THE CHICAGO MAROON Mondoy, September 2Z, I947Social Sciences Get $150,000To Study Backgrounds of RacialTension.

De¬tails of the meeting have notyet been revealed, except thatelections of delegates to thearea convention will be discus¬sed. As it inters its third year on campus, the Universitychapter of the American Veteran’s Committee carries withit a record crammed with action. Within the first quarterof its life it had, carried on a successful housing rally,supported the meat packers in their strike and expandedto the point where reorganization was necessary.Russ Austin wais elects chairman in February, 1946,replacing Dave Sanders, the foun- —-der. Activities increased. An atom j^omb rally was staged whichStatement Of IntentionsAVC Marches In ProtestThe above scene is typical of A.V.C. work in the Uni¬versity community. It shows members marching in pro¬test before houses closed to student renters because of re¬strictive zoning laws.A.V.C., through conferences with Major Kelly, demon¬strations, community canvasses and a well-organized hous¬ing bureau of its own, has done a great deal to alleviatethis most pressing of veteran’s problems.The chapter is now investigating anti-Negro discrimi¬nation at Billings Hospital. We look forward to becoming civilians, making a decent living,raising a family, and living in freedom from the threat of another war.But that was what most Americans wanted from the last war. Theyfound that military victory does not automatically bring peace, jobs,or freedom. To guarantee our interests, which are those of our coun¬try, we must w’ork for what we want.Therefore, we are associating ourselves with American men andwomen, regardless of race, creed, or color, who are serving with or havebeen honorably discharged from our armed forces, merchant marine,or allied forces. When we are demobolized it will be up to all of us todecide what action can best further our aims.• These will include: adequate financial, medical, vocational andeducational assistance for every veteran.• A job for every veteran in a system which provides full employ¬ment and full production under private enterprise.• Free speech, press, worship, assembly and ballot. Social andeconomic security.• Disarmament of Germany and Japan and the elimination ofthe power of their military classes.• Active participation of the United States in the U.N.• Establishment of an international veteran’s council to furtherworld peace and justice among the peoples of the world.THE LOW COSTOF BEING HANDSOMEPoor quality is always ex¬pensive.

Factionalism de-veloi>ed. The chapter split into twofactions, the right and the left.Stalemated, the energies of thegroups were turned inward andAVC action meant campaigning inthe most vicious sense. The right(Progressive) faction won out inthe February ’47 elections and El¬bert Cole took the Chairmanshipfrom Russ Austin and the Action .(left) group.Under Progressive leadershipmuch the same program has beencarried out. Teams of grained stu¬dents are being sent to unions andcommunity groups to give adviceon problems concerning the GIbill, terminal leave, bonuses, pen¬sions and other vet headaches.Booths furnishing information tocampus vets on similar Problemshave l)een established.

House, on thenorth by the Coffee Shop, on the south by the Midway, (where students who don^tmind being stared at sometimes have picnics), and on the west by the Bookstore.There’s quite a bit we’d like to say about the Bookstore*None of us is very smart and none of us remembers much of what we were taught inschool, but on the whole we’re friendly and pleasant people* Bather than strain ournew friendship by arguing, we’ll admit that freely and invite you to visit us* This iswhat you will find*POST OFFICEWhether you're mailing a pleo for additionalfunds or o dirty shirt we hove a deportmentr life easier. Thereand we don't allow THE INNER MANFor from being supercilious, we hasten to admitthat we, too, often feel hunger and thirst. Whenwe are thus assured thot we are normal humanbeings it is comforting to remember that we canbe fed and refreshed with sandwiches and Coca*Cola without going miles—or blocks, at leost—off the campus.TYPEWRITERSThese machines are a great help to those whohove something to say, and an even greater helpto those who, when writing longhand, forget theend of a sentence before reaching it. If you fallinto either group you can make a choice from ourassortment. We won't annoy you with a sales'orgument, either, for we rent them.are utterlyuseless, but all ore desirable. We have insigniaof most kinds, costume jewelry, baby things, ando counter full of U of C emblems and souvenirs.PEN and PENCILSWe have a variety of these, from the best andmost expensive to the kind you can lose withoutinconsolable grief. Defoe said thot if you h<>d anidea you also had the words to express it, butmerely having words means nothing unless youhave a good pen to write them down. SPORTS RARCome In and Chin Yourself On Our Sports Barand gaze fondly at the Golf Clubs, Bolls, Tees,Bags, Tennis Bbekets, Sports Jackets, Bodmin*ton Rackets and Birds, Soft Balls, and Sun Classesthat will make ygur athletic inclinotions o pleos*ure and a joy to behold.PHOTOGRAPHIC SUPPLIESWe not only tolerate, but actually welcome cam¬era fiends. They're really not bad people onceyou get to know them, and besides, we have afilm developing and printing service.RENTAL LIBRARYIt is a not-too-funny joke that many natives of Chicago insist that all things here are either the biggest or the best,^bften both, in the world. We've often laughed at people who talk like that. Nevertheless, we can keep a perfectlysfdce while saying—here we go again-—that os far os we've been able to determine our rental library is the biggest andMbost in the woi’ld; There are over fifty thousond volumes in it, and it is difficult to imagine a taste we can't satisfy. Youiiihoy rent some of your textbooks and supplemental reodings if you care to do so and after you've learned all that's inif%e have shelf after shelf of mystery and murder. This obundance of befuddlement is frustrating to those who like to boostI of having "read them all," and those who need on excuse for not renting a book usually ore left with no better excuselack of time.GENERAL BOOK SECTIONLest this multiplicity of functions make us sound like a drug store, we hasten to assure you thot our name is not! f mistake. We sell booksi tool In fact, we self more books than onything else. One of the obligations of a great university#is to bring more good books within the reach of its students, and we find a quiet satisfoction in knowing that we do thisM well. Of course we can't have all the books, nor do we dare claim even to have all the good books. We try to bethough, that all the books we sell belong in the front ronk.There are text books, of course. Also have the best of modern fiction, non-fiction, poetry, ort books, technical books,I children's books,i philosophy, history, criticism—the list grows longer and wider, like Mark Twain's river which was||wide it had only one bank. Come in and see for yourself that we have not exaggerated.r We admitted that we didn't have ALL the good books. There are many books with limited appeals or obscure publishers4iwhich we cannot stock in large quantities. We can get them for you, though, and the Special Order department/which weV maintain is a blessing to those whose tastes run in narrow channels.it 9iAP OF THE CAIHPES FREE mJRilVG FRESHnt^N WEEK AND THE FIRST WEEK OF THE QUARTER.WE WiLL BE GLAB TO SEE TOD WHEK \OV C091E liV TO GET TOURS.■ 'OF CHICAGO BOOKSTOR.5802 ELLIS AVENUE^7 Sepifmtgr IX 1^7 THi CHICAGO MAROON Page 19Student Union-Recreation PlusOrganized to provide social and recreational activities ~ ~for everyone at the University, the Student Union Board High C And The SB'swas originally composed of the Reynolds Club Council(men), and Ida Noyes Council (women).
