I can’t wait to enjoy thatrefreshing, long-lasting flavor of DentyneChewing Gum! And flavor isn’t nil. Dentynehelps keep teeth white, too.”Dentyne Gum—Made Only by Adams Virtually everyone in theUniversity is today com¬mitted to the principle thatracial intolerance is intel¬lectually indefensible andmorally reprehensible. Thefundamental question confrontingthe student body, therefore as¬suming that there are elements ofbigotry in the administration ofBillings hospital and the medicalschool, is not one of convincingthe central administration sis tothe immorality of intolerance; itis one of ascertaining what are thebest available means for speedilybringing an end to such practices.To date that campaign, as skill¬fully spearheaded by AVC, hasbeen conducted with intelligenceand understanding. We submit,however, that the student walkoutscheduled for next Monday is anaction which would not on^y un¬justly libel a university and a manwho have become synonymouswith tolerance and decency, butcould not possibly contribute toachieving the desired results.The AVC Civil Liberties com¬mittee has charged the Universityadministration, through Chancel¬lor Hutchins, with the mainte¬nance of discriminatory policiesregarding:1—the admission of negro stu¬dents to the University ofChicago Medical School,2—the admission of negro pa¬tients to Billings Hospital.The Chancellor has denied theexistence of discrimination againstNegro students making applica¬tion to the Medical School.Mr. Hutchins has admittedthe existence of discriminatorypractices at Billings Hospital,and has stated explicitly thathe is working to overcome them,using the same methods of per¬sonal persuasion that have beeneffective in eliminating discrim¬ination in other departments ofthe University. By these meth¬ods, Mr. Hutchins has been ableto eliminate discrimination in:1—the Residence Halls2—the Laboratory Schools 3—campus cafeterias it seems a harmful and short*4—the academic departments sighted attack on the man whoof the University. has done more than any other toIn the opinion of the leaders promote liberalism at the Univer-of AVC and the other organiza- sity of Chicago.tions involved, this approach isnot satisfactory, and they havecalled upon the student body toengage in a protest walkout onMonday in order to force theChancellor to erase discriminationimmediately by executive order.We do not feel that discrimina¬tion can be ended by fiat. We feelthat the student walkout willserve no valid purpose, and cando much damage to the very causewhich AVC espouses. It is the aimof the persons leading the striketo force the Chancellor to adopttheir tactics by arousing the in¬terest of the press, locally as wellas nationally. It is our opinionthat they are playing with fireConsidering the present state of <,ominform “must of necessity benational hysteria, it is more than , , g^ess^ork, based on socio-likely that the press coverage of reasoning.”Fritz HeimannHoward S.

We see that many of those who oppose the strikeare the same people who usually have no interest in politi¬cal action of any kind. They are the same persons whoattacked the International Union of Students and theNational Student Association; the same one who think thatthe American Veterans Committee members are amateurpoliticians who like to do nothing but flex their musclesand make a great deal of noise.This group has claimed tha,t the supporters of thewalk-out have not been fair to Chancellor Hutchins; itseems to be more concerned about the good name of theUniversity than with ending racial discrimination. Let itbe said here that we on the MAROON think that the U. ofC. is the freest school in the country, in every sense; andwe have tremendous admiration for our Chancellor. Werecognize what Dean Strozier pointed out at Wednesday’sSG meeting, that the U. of C. has excellent record ondiscrimination.However, all this does not excuse the discriminatorypolicies which have been admitted by Hutchins to be ineffect at Billings. We on the MAROON have perhaps over¬looked the good points in order to concentrate our fire onthei)ad aspects.We think that the question of supporting the strikeboils down to this: ought students take an active part ineliminating racial discrimination at their University? If weback Chancellor Hutchins, then it means that we thinkthat they shouldn’t do anything at all, but should merelysit back and trust to time.These arguments were used by Edmund Burke to swingthe English people against the French Revolution; they arethe same arguments which have always been used inAmerica to forestall social, political, and economic reform,whether it was abolition of slavery or the formation oflabor unions It has always been the “let’s go slowly” boyswho have retarded progress.We believe that the principles we stand on are identicalwith Chancellor Hutchins,’ but we feel that they are princi¬ples on which we can make'a firm stand. We thereforeurge every student not to attend classes between 11:30a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Monday and to go to the rally to askthe Chancellor to stick by his principles. LETTERSRegarding the Tuesday issue ofthe MAROON: Conduct of a mostunethical order was exhibited uponpublication of a biased article pre¬sented to the reader as a newsstory.Whether one believes in discrim¬ination or not, it is not a laudabletrick to run any article under dis¬guise.If the MAROON wishes to be anewspaper, the staff should adhereto ttie common courtesies of jour¬nalism. If it wishes to be a politi¬cal pamphlet, it should label itselfas such.As far as this anti-discrimina¬tion affair is concerned, I seriouslydoubt that the story deserved asmuch space as it was given. Obvi¬ously any student “walkout” willnot affect the University adminis¬tration, or cause it to make anymoves. Since class attendance isnot required, the few hundred stu¬dents (if that many do complywith the planl absent from theirclasses during the two hours desig¬nated for the walkout will hardlybe noticeable.As far as this writer can see,all that will come of the walkoutwill be a few extra hours of studyfor those that cooperate withthe Anti-Discriminatory commit¬tee. After all, most University ofChicago students came here tolearn, and not to enter politicalsquabbles.Further: I question whether thewalkout is being brought aboutsolely by the desire to end discrim¬ination. It seems to be more of anaction pushed by various politicallyminded organizations, who are try¬ing to show off a few biceps.Mary S. Zinn Maroon Co'Editor Resigns;Opposes Student WalkoutBY LAWKENCE H. BERLINThe journalistic tradition of objectivity in news presentation ispredicated upon the assumption that no one person is wise enough toseparate truth from falsehood. To be sure, a newspaper should ad¬vance the convictions to which it adheres, but such convictions mustbe presented for what they are, and their possession most certainlydoes not convey the right to delete facts and insert connotations inmaterial presented to the reader as factual news.The responsibility which 1 feel —as a journalist to present news ob- ^Qj-e regrettable perhaps thanjectively is a conviction which ,. j rr>t. e the Hutchins story was the turncannot be compromised.

One sees students of everyreligion, of every color, of everynationality—sitting in the Com¬mons, attending classes, living inthe dormitories—all naturally, allperfectly acceptable .to both stu¬dents and faculty.It was not always like this. Asin other fields, the driving genius,.f Chancellor Hutchins is largelyresponsible. It was only lour yearsago that women studcnla who hap-l^en to be Negro were admitted toDie campus residence halls. Sincethen, there has been struck fromIhe application form for adminis¬tration to the University, those fa¬miliar questions; RACE? COLOR?However, there is still one areaof the University where discrim¬ination against Negroes, is the rule—the medical center: the MedicalSchool itself, Billings Hospital,Lying-In Hospital, the UniversityClinics. Here is one place whereMr. Hutchins’ philosophy of demo¬cratic education has not been ableto penetrate.WHY? We, students of the Uni¬versity of Chicago, members of agenerally democratic community— ***are struck by this inconsistency inUniversity policy.In an attempt to find out WHY, campus entirely of racism. BUT—Mr. Hutchins seems to feel that .'tis impossible for him to do justtiiat—for some time, at any rate.Therefore, in order to strength¬en Mr. Hutchins in his effort, togive this academic community anopportunity to express its full sup¬port for democratic education, todramatize a nasty situation, wehave decided to walk out of class¬es for two hours on next Monday.We regret that in so doing we maypossibly arouse unjustified criti-ci.sm of the University’s excellentrecord on discrimination.But let’s face it. WE CANNOTCOMPROMISE ON FUNDAMEN¬TAL DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.It is not enough that we be simplybetter than most schools—in thisrespect we must be PERFECT.—David Green time.)Defends UTSo severe has been campuscriticism of the recent showing of“Displaced Persons’’ that I thinkit indicates a misunderstanding ofthe purpose of this particular pro¬duction and of the role of the Uni¬versity Theater in the UniversityCommunity. Although I am in nowise associated with the UniversityTheater and have never seen aformal statement of its program,I should like to set forth what Iconsider to be its function and totry to evaluate it.First I think it is not the pur¬pose of the University Theater tostage slick, high-powered Holly-woodesque extravaganzas. Even ifthis were the aim, it could not be stores around the campus—onethe ’’oice of vhe recently organizedU. of C.

Farrell, who contributed a let¬ter on the A YD; Don Chenoweth,Politics club president; Saul Men-delson, who was elected a delegateto the AVC area convention andrealized because of limitations in .other U. of C. students.Who Is Lovett? Ask ActionI’m all for doing away with ra¬cial discrimination. I also can feelsympathetic about the fact thatMr. Hutchins has been put on the.spot in the middle. Nevertheless I’dlike to point out the paradox ofMr. Hutchin’s predicament. Hewrites and speaks out pleading forimmediate world wide moralrevolution within the next fiveyears, yet when students come tohim with a problem in his ownback yard he pleads that thesethings should be accomplishedslowly—in effect we should takeour time. In a word he says to theworld community, “Your time isshort,” but to the student commu¬nity he says, “Slow down, takeyour time.”(Name withheld by request as financial support and in availabletalent. It is an earnest effort topresent two kinds of drama: thoseof the classic repertoire and thosenew plays which might otherwisego unheard and consequently de¬prive us of some insight into thethought and trends of the contem¬porary theater.No one will contend that theUniversity Theater always hitsprofessional standards..But it canserve to use those talents and re¬sources available in the commu¬nity and present reasonably goodperformances of plays whichotherwise would be known to thestudents only through the printedword. Farrell, writing of “innocentorganizations” such as the AYD,asserts “They are progressive onlyto the extent that the foreignpolicy of the Soviet Union canallow progressive action . . . theyare Russian nationalists.”This issue of the “MidwestYoung Socialist,” now publishedfor the first time since the war, islargely devoted to studies of recentChicago race riots, with featuredarticles by Gerald Bullock, chair- In a rather astonishing editorial,the magazine attacks “our leaders. . . tired old radicals . . .
