Eisler ChargedAs MurdererThe following statement on Ger-hardt Eisler was released yesterdayby the presidents of three campuspolitical organizations and otherstudents who signed as individ¬uals:We protest against Gierhardt Eis¬ler masquerading as a progressivewhose civil rights have been vio¬lated, when actually he is a GPUagent. As such, his case shouldnot be confused with what we con¬sider to be the legitimate defenseof the civil rights of Communistunion officials, Hollywood writers,and others persecuted for theirpolitical opinions.Therefore, we believe it essen¬tial that the following facts bebrought to the attention of stu¬dent opinion:According to the testimony ofhis sister, Ruth Fischer:1) Gerhardt Eisler left Germanyin 1929, not as an anti-fascistrefugee, but as one who had falleninto disfavor with the leadershipof the Communist Party becauseof his close friendship with anousted leader of that party.2) After a brief stay in Moscow, he regained the confidence of theStalin leadership and was sub¬sequently appointed Cominternagent to China, and thereafterheld a similar position in Austria,Czechoslovakia, Spain, and theUnited States.

He helpedJohnny to his feet, brushed offthe snow and started him in thedirection of the street corner.“Cross at the stoplight and becareful.”As Johnny walked to the cornerhis sobbing continued. His headhurt and he was cold and wet.And his mother wouldn’t even behome when he got there. Shehadn’t been home for five days.His father had explained whereshe was—at lying-in. His fatherhadn’t been home very much,either, and Johnny had been lefta lot on his own. This morning,before his father went to class hetold him that mother would behome tomorrow, with another lit¬tle boy, much smaller than John¬ny.Johnny thought the new littleboy would help him build a snow¬man of his own.More tree trucks went by. Thisreminded Johnny of another thing. His house had no Christmas tree.All the other families in his prefabhad big lighted trees with tinseland trimmings. He had wonderedw'hy to his father, and his fatherhad said it was because he had togive all his money to billings.Johnny wondered what was bill¬ings. If it was a person, he mustbe hke the big bully who hadtwisted his arm.Johnny stopped at the light,waiting for it to tum green.

For an instanthe remembered the cement wallby his train window.

The driver was ap¬plying his brakes carefully to avoidskidding. Even so, the heavy ve¬ hicle began to slide towards thecurb.David had a flash of panic forthe child. The truck was skiddingin its direction. Why didn’t theboy get away from the corner?“Look out!” David shouted in thevacuum.The truck slid ponderously to astop against the lamp post, with¬out damage, but fully blocking thecrosswalk. The child remainedmotionless. When the light hadchanged, the truck resumed travel.David saw the truck had lostsome of its cargo. So did the child.A small Christmas tree lay on theboulevard.

This past quarter wasthe first time‘ in three years that the paper has publishedmore than one issue a week regularly. The reason for “cut¬ting” the number of issues is that there doesn’t seem to beenough student interest to provide the large and competentstaff needed to produce a good paper twice a week,t The present staff will try to put out a weekly issueaveraging 12 pages next quarter; we hope it will be a con¬siderably-improved paper. At the same time we will attemptto organize and train a staff, so that a return to twice-a-Week will be possible in the spring quarter. The burdenrests entirely with the editorial department, since the busi¬ness staff is able to support a bi-weekly paper now and inthe future.What we consider more important than these technicalproblems, however, is the kind of paper the MARCXIN willbe. What will its character be?We hope to make the MAROON more than a campusbulletin-board, more than a combination magazine andnewspaper. We feel that a newspaper has a greater respon¬sibility than mere presentation of the news; it has an obli¬gation to focus attention on injustices and on the effortsexerted to end these evils. A crusading, fighting newspaperis our goal, a paper which will be sensitive, and reactviolently, to all actions designed to undersell us (both asstudents and citizens) and promote a selfish, bigoted in¬terest. The fact that this is a campus publication oughtnot to be a hindrance or argument against this type ofpaper. A vigorous, alert publication serves a useful purposeanywhere, and we think that such a paper would be es¬pecially appropriate at the U. of C., where political actionis at a peak unattained on any other campus in the country.This social responsibility certainly has been ignored,for the most part, by the American press. Hiding behindthe smoke screen of “objectivity,” the American papershave lost contact with the man-in-the-street’s fight for adecent life. Even at a supposedly liberal paper like theChicago Sun, the dominating factors are “sell more papers”and “scoop the Tribune,” and their liberalism is consequent¬ly weak and “pussy-footing.” For instance, in the Chicagoelection the Sun played a passive role, refusing to back the Friday, DMamber 12, I947Progressive Party against the machine-dominated Demo¬crats and Republicans.Let us consider the top stories carried by the Chicagopress during this academic quarter. The “biggest” Sunstory was an expose of gambling in Lake County; the “big”Tribune stories were investigation of “subversive” teachingin American history and the uncovering of a “plot” byChancellor Hutchins’ committee to frame a world govern¬ment; the''“big” Daily News story was the Rocky Grazianocase. All of them vital, significant topics!It will be the aim of the MAROON, as we have outlinedabove, to expose these stupidities. A paper that fails to doso is deserting its responsibility.All our good intentions will come to naught, however,if we can not obtain more help from the student body. Weknow that many prospective staff members have beenfrightened away by the inefficiency of the MAROON. Thosewho are on the staff realize better than anyone else theshortcomings of the paper, but at lea^ they are workingto overcome them. Until we have more willing workers onthe paper, the MAROON’s prestige will not soar to anygreat heights, and the objectives set forth above will neverbe reached.The top MAROON* stories of the quarter have beenthose dealing with the anti-discrimination drive, and weare proud of any contribution we have made toward thecampaign. This is what a newspaper should concern itselfwith. —In this week’s Saturday Review of Literature JohnMason Brown touched on this subject of social responsi¬bility, and we don’t think there' is much to adjd to hisremarks. He said:The elder Joseph Piilitr.er had an answer for those who• accused him of debasing the press by the sensational methods towhich he resorted as a reformer. . . . ‘'There is not a crime,” wrotePulitzer, ‘‘there is not a trick, there is not a swindle, there is not avice which does not live by secrecy. Get these thinjcs out into theopen, describe them, attack them, ridicule them in the press, andsooner or later public opinion will sweep them away.”This seems to me the perfect reply to those who believe thatdarkness is healthier than sunlight, that diseases are cured bybeing ignored, that what is fetid is made sweet by the comfortableprocess of pretending that it does not exist, and that the dodgingof truth rather than the rruth itself shall make men free.The newspapers have no monopoly on the responsibilities thatgo with the public statement of public wrongs. The stage, thescreen, the radio, and literature, all share the same burden andare blessed'with the identical opportunity if they take themselvesseriously, and would be taken seriously. Race prejudice is a vice;a vice which, whether it becomes criminal in its activities or not,is, even when dormant, a crime against the democratic belief. Itis a matter of inherited prejudices, of malconditioned reflexes, ofstupidities which persist mainly because their stuiddity hasbeen exposed.

BRUCE SAGAN.MORI ON lUSIf, as your last editorial says,letters pro and con lUS are stillcoming in, perhaps I can do myincoherent best to get an oar in onthe right side before it is too late.aAlthough some of the propon¬ents of NSA and its affiliation withlUS almost seem to go out of theirway to raise as many ghosts aspossible, they are at least on theright track. It will be a sad dayindeed if even the thinking stu¬ dents of this country lower them¬selves to the infantile position ofthe State Department and it’s ‘Twon’t play if he gets to” attitude.In answer to the attacks voicedby some of the more or less hide¬bound and rockribbed U of C stu¬dents, I can say from personal ex¬perience that, through lUS^^ theycould come into at least indirectcontact with students still studyingin both Poland and Finland whosebeliefs would put the comparative¬ly mild reaction of our own Con¬servative League to shame. Thesestudents are extremely anxious forany possible contacts with Amer¬ica.As for the average U of C stu¬dent—at least the one wlio believesthat our policy of riveting downthe ’’Iron Curtain” on our ownside is the utmost folly, the factthat lUS does have many Com¬munist adherents should increaserather than destroy our interest.If and when American students can stop echoing their elders*giiawing fear of contaminationand failure by ’’Communist in¬filtration” and discover in them¬selves an optimistic enthusiasm toequal that of the Communistsdown out of an honest respect fortlieir own godly heritage, theymight well accomplish morethrough NSA and lUS than adozen London Conferences.- DON LEIPPER.ictc<cif«c<ctc«e«ctciKtcte«e«e4c«c«c«c«c«c«f«c«ctc«ctetCti«ctctftf<CM«c«ctctc«c«et€tcec«tc«ctc«fS «IF hI AS GIFTS ... , (gilt wrapped and mailed) |BOOKS THAT MATTERIIJAMES D.

In Dorm SystemOne of4he most active houses inthe continuous program of eventscarried on by the dormitory sys¬tem' is Vincent house, 400 entry.* Vincent* began to roll early inthe year with an exchange partywith Foster hall. The party dif¬fered from the usual exchangessince there were no individualdates. Most persons expressed sat¬isfaction in this arrangement andseveral enduring relationshipswere formed. Supplementing thisparty, to show their varied inter¬ests, the 400 entry held a picnicwith Green hall at PromontoryPoint. The picnic proved enjoyabledespite the one-sided softball de¬feat of the Green gals.The high point of the autumnsocial season was the Vincenthouse “black magic” dance. In aneerie atmosphere of black crepepaper, manikins, and swami, thedance proceeded in high fashion.Under the directorship of vice-president Dave Kuh, several skitswere presented with a grand finalethat looked very much like theBikini atomic bomb tests. The Vin¬cent men* were accompanied bybeautiful and sundry women.Along cultural lines many Vin¬cent men attended the play “Shad¬ow and Substance.” Plans are nowbeing made to attend “MacBeth”in cooperation with another house.A large part of the success ofVincent house can be attributedto the simple but highly effectiveplan of house government. Underthe direction of house presidentGordon Giles, a vice-president, andfive floor representatives, thehouse council plans Vincent ac¬tivities. The council and staff meeteach week to act on members’ sug¬gestions and take action on housematters.

In order to represent studenttheatre interest as fully as possible.University Theatre makes a posi¬tive effort to give- as many peopleas possible a chance. Thus, 137different people had a chance towork during the first year. In act¬ing, University Theatre attemptsto balance new actors with thosewho have worked in previous pro¬ductions. Thus, the hope is thatthere is a growing standard ofacting.If University Theatre activelysupports student writing and act¬ing, should it not also support stu¬dent direction? In each instance ofstudent direction, the particularstudent has backgrounds and in¬terests which are taken into ac¬count before he is chosen to direct.Mr. Steiner is a case in point. Mr.Steiner states previous directionalexperience; he has a strong inter¬est in Mr. Sartre and “The Flies.”Should not Mr. Steiner be given achance to direct “The Flies?” Uni¬versity Theatre believes he shouldand has assigned the direction of“The Flies” to him.Since other theatres acrosscountry have experienced difficul¬ties with manuscript productionand since University Theatre ex¬pected to lose money in the firstyear or two of manuscript produc¬tion and since University Theatrehas not lost as much money onmanuscript production as it ex¬ pected, Mr. Steiner should not betoo worried about University Thea¬tre’s loss on manuscripts. Fortun¬ately, Aeschylus is good box-office.Thus, University Theatre is nottoo worried about its manuscriptproductions.George Blair, Director. Letters To The EditorSIGMA CHI PROTESTSAs many of your readers may beaware that a placard bearing theinscription “Sigma Chi OpposesDiscrimination” appeared duringthe anti-discrimination rally lastMonday, we feel that it should bebrought to their attention thatthis placard was not designed,manufactured, nor was its usesanctioned by any individual ofthe Sigma Chi chapter at the Uni¬versity of Chicago, nor was its ap¬pearance approved by this group.To infer from this statementthat Sigma Chi does or does notoppose discrimination in the Uni¬versity clinics would oe fallaciousand misleading. Rather, it hasbeen a long-established and tra¬ditional policy that this fraternitydoes not officially offer its supportto anything of a political or de¬batable nature on its own campusor elsewhere.It is, by design, a socially orient¬ed, rather than a politically or¬iented, organization, and as such,is not collectively concerned withcontroversial subjects, though itsindividual members mayjt>e unan¬imous in their personal approval.BILL HEY,President.

This may be simplystated as the tendency of aggres¬sion to breed aggression; fear,fear; hate, hate; etc.The action devised by studentprotest groups will apparently ac¬complish two purposes—firsts en¬hance the resistance of the of¬fending group, and second, theposition of university critics. Thesegroups, patterning their actionafter the Marxian line of reason¬ing, have failed to see that flex¬ing of biceps on the universitycampus will inevitably result inthe delay of progressive action.We are not implying that ac¬tion should not be taken. On thecontrary, we think the Hutchinsattack on > the problem offers theonly sensible mode of approach.Change will take place whenthe groups concerned are ready toinitiate action by their own voli¬tion. It is doubtful that they canbe freed to look at the matter inan objective light if they are tobe continually forced to erect de¬fenses to justify their integrity.The actual passage of anti-dis¬criminatory measures will do lit¬tle to remedy conditions at thehospital until the doctors andtheir clientele are emotionallyready, to accept the change. Themere passage of such a measuredoes not guarantee changed con¬ditions without the sort of lawenforcement every American ab¬hors. Success is to be proclaimedjust at the point that individualsbecome ready to accept the con¬tent of a given law as an approvedway of life,ROB.'* A. DYKMANSOLD DOWN THE RIVERThe anti-discrimination forceson this campus, which are almost99 per cent of the student body, have been sold down the river bythe militant action group.This is written before the strike,and whether the strike succeeds orfails, the mere fact that it wascalled for the purpose of endingdiscrimination here entitles it tothe proper support of the studentbody. And the fact is, that the ma¬jority of the anti-discriminationforces on this campus are againstthe strike. By “forces” I do notmean organizations, I mean stu¬dents.A strike, traditionally, is Labor’slast resort in dealing with man¬agement. It is to be deplored thatthe last few years have seen a de¬parture from this traditional view¬point. Therefore, a strike as aweapon to gain an end desiredshould be the last possible meansused, and should be effectivelyemployed at such a critical time.In calling the strike now, theissue must succeed or fail. Wheth¬er the strike succeeds or fails,democratic action has been by¬passed and this is to be deplored.For even the most eloquent speakerIn favor of the strike cannot standlong under the barrage of factsthat this campaign has not re¬ceived sufficient support, publicity,and working over, by the majorityof the students. It is to be deploredthat this is so, but the well-knownapathy of the average student isto be blamed for that.Therefore, I hope that the strikesucceeds in its purpose, as do allthinking opponents of the meas¬ure. I also hope that if it fails, themilitant action group will assumethe responsibility for that fail¬ure, and not try “to pass the buck.”HARRY KLI3BELL TO PREACHCanon Bernard Iddings Bell,Consultant on Education to theBishop of Chicago, will be theUniversity Preacher Sundaymorning at the 11 o’clock serv¬ice in Rockefeller MemorialChapel.

The studentstrike committee estimates ap¬proximately 1,200; general pressreports indicate a figure around1,000. Photographs of the rallyshow well over 500 people most ofwhom can be identified as stu¬dents; whether they participated “actively”, is a moot question asthe meaning of that word makesno sense in reference to the event.Only Mr. Morganstern of PressRelations knows the purpose ofthat bureau in falsifying the re¬ports. But the announced factswould indicate that the studentsdo not believe there is discrimina¬tion (openly admitted by respon¬sible officers of the university), orthat there is no discrimination andjust a few hotheads are trying tostir up trouble.

As one student so aptlyexpressed the situation, “One per¬son creates something and thereare a thousand others waitingaround to criticize it.” This policydefinitely hold true in the aca¬demic life of this University,Therefore, we may assume thatthe policy covers our cultural life.Steiner is correct in stating thatthe leading lady merely “learnedall of her lines.” This statementshould be applied to each of theactors.Indeed, many a person wouldhave hurried up the aisle afterthe first five minutes in MandellHall except for the fact that itwas a very cold night or possiblythey were relatives of the actors.In conclusion it appears to thewriter as a lamentable situationwhen the University Theater pro¬ductions are of such low caliber.Certainly our University Theatrewould win the booby prize in anyhigh school theatrical tournamentat the rate they’re performing atpresent.John D.
