She calmed thetrapped man telling him to climbup and release a certain gadget.1:46 Meanwhile she sum¬moned aid from the Biology li¬brary (located on the second floorof Culver). The librarian calledB and G, who referred her to theorder desk where she placed anorder for one repairman.2:00 The trapped man said tocall B and G and tell them oneof their own was trapped. (Itturned out he was an official.)2:10 The trapped man man¬aged to release the catc h openingthe door. He got out and saidthat everyone should have les¬sons on how to open trapped ele¬vators from the inside.2:11 Another B and G officialarrived to assure everyone thathelp was on the way.2:25 Th« repairman arrivedand fixed the mechanical diffi¬culty. 1ml Pi.

At the samemeeting a resolution was passed to assured SRP a voice in the congress.John Lyon (ISL) and Lubert Stryer (ISL) were moved up from first alternates (secondfive) to national delegates (top five). They replaced Miss Porter and Jan Metros (ISL). MissMetros resigned, as she had a vote by virtue of her seat on the executive council.Both2:30 The elevator was in work¬ing order again.i i l ISL and SRP agreedthat the case was very unusualas no SRP alternates were onthe delegation to take Miss Por¬ter’s place. ISL had won 19 of the20 seats in the spring election.Miss Porter had won the otherone, leading all in the number ofvotes.They also both agreed that thequestion should be decided onprinciple, not by strict letter ofthe law. The disagreement cen¬tered on whether Miss Porterwon her seat on popularity or onparty.Mary Ann Chacarestos (SRPrepresentative) felt that “anyelection is both personal and par¬ty,” that “the campus wanted oneperson in from SRP.” She alsopointed to the 45 per cent voteof SRP in the election and saidthat it would be worthwhile to have a member of the minorityon the delegation to represent theview of this segment of the cam¬pus to the congress. She also citedthe manner in which SG seats arefilled by persons of the sameparty.Phil Hoffman (SRP-SG presi¬dent) backed up Miss Chacares-tos’ statements.Various ISL members of thedelegation answered Miss Chaca¬restos. Lubert Stryer stated that45 per cent is really a low votein a two party election. He backedup the claim that it was a per¬sonal victory for Miss Porter byciting the fact that the next high¬est SRPer in the top five ran sev¬enth and didn’t come close towinning.John Lyon stressed that thepeople representing the campusshould have been elected by them.Ask photos, fingerprintsof UC clinic employeesA new system of employee identification, including finger¬printing and plastic ID cards similar to student ID cards, hasbeen introduced by the University of Chicago clinics.The new identification program, administered by the safetyand security division headed“Tell B & G I’m one of them!” by Mrs. Dorothy A. Poracky,is designed to reduce the hithertoappalling theft rate in the clinics.During the month of July over2500 present employees as wellas all new employees were finger¬printed and photographed.According to the proponents ofthe change, the unusual opennessof the clinics in the past has in¬vited theft, making burglarypointless. Reportedly this open¬ness, linked with either a blaseor an abstracted attitude on thepart of the employees, has madepossible such feats as the swiping of an operating table and thesacking of the entire rooms. Onenotable coup was staged last yearwhen a truck pulled up, and sev¬eral workmen proceeded to loadit with all the furniture in a re¬ception room. The truck has notbeen seen or heard of since.The new ID cards will facilitateon-the-spot identification of em¬ployees, making it somewhatmore difficult for an outsider topose as an employee; the thumb¬prints on file may be used tolocate inside jobs. The thumb¬printing has been made a neces¬sary condition of employment. "In SG, the seats are naturallyfilled by persons from the campusat large. However, for NSA a sys¬tem of alternates has been set upand we should follow that system.Lyon then moved that anSRPer be filled in as second al¬ternate (bottom ten). Joan Kap¬lan offered an amendment whichISL felt would give minorityviews a chance to be aired. Theamendment provided that any sec¬ond alternate could demand andreceive the card of a first alter¬nate, which would give the secondalternate speaking privileges.The amendment and motionwere passed. Miss Chacarestoswas filled in as second alternateafter Butch Kline and Miss Kap¬lan were moved from second tofirst alternates.Miss Chacarestos then ex¬pressed the following sentiments:"The Student Representative par¬ty is disappointed in the decisionof the delegation. We feel the deci¬sion made was not the one most fairto our party or the campus. Speak¬ing for the party, however, I wishto point out that we shall not letour feelings of disappointment turninto those of bitterness.‘‘We shall continue our coopera¬tion with ISL to make this congressone of success.“We plan to go much more thanhalf-way to meet with ISL in work¬ing on the projects of Student Gov¬ernment.“In a way this dispute once againpoints out the fact that the partiesspend a good deal of their time inpolitical bickerings, most often pet¬ty, which has worked to the detri¬ment of Student Government. Ithas hindered the carrying out ofprojects and programs of concern tothe students of this campus.“I believe it is time the membersof both parties in the Governmentand in the delegation seriously eval¬uated themselves in regard to thegoals of the student body and howthe parties were working to accom¬plish these goals.”Miss Metros then said sheshe agreed completely with MissChacarestos about the coopera¬tion of the parties.Schuman foresees 'democratization' of Soviet Unionby Oliver I-eeProfessor Frederick L.Schuman recently returnedfrom a trip to the Soviet Unionand has set forth his resultingreflections in a series of publiclectures at UC and four articlesin The Nation.Schuman, who received h i sPhD at UC in 1927 and taughthere until 1936, has since beenprofessor of political science atWilliams college. He is a visitingprofessor on the Midway thissummer, giving a course on con¬temporary diplomatic problems.He is most noted for his bookInternational Politics, which hasrun through five editions since1933, and Soviet Politics, pub¬lished ten years ago.How long was his stay in Rus¬sia? “Almost one month.” Did hehave any trouble obtaining pass¬port or visa? "None whatever.”Did he take his family with him? "No, I went alone. It’s frightfullyexpensive, you see. The cost asarranged by the Intourist agencyis $30 per day, which includes allexpenses, to be sure, but stillhurts.”Did Mr. Schuman gain any in¬sights from his trip or throughrecent research which' he had nothad when writing Soviet Politics?"Well, there are two things Iwould like to say to that. First,Soviet Politics has been trans¬lated and is now being publishedin two volumes in Japan.” Schu-man’s glow of satisfaction at thispoint was seemingly caused bythe thought that his analysis ofSoviet politics written ten yearsago was deemed as still soundtoday by a Japanese publisher."The second thing is that Ihad meant to write a revised edi¬tion of Soviet Politics. But I foundthat so much new material hasbecome available that virtually anew book had to be written. And I thought I shouldn’t be doingthat without making another tripto Russia.” Schuman’s previoustwo visits took place in 1928 and1933.In the public lectures and arti¬cles already referred to, Schumantold of first-hand observations ofskyscrapers and wooden shacks,apartment buildings and Lenin’stomb, department stores, Moscowuniversity, State-operated ice¬cream stands, and great throngsroaming the streets.More local color was broughtback by Schuman in the form ofseveral hundred color slides,taken in Leningrad, Moscow,Kiev, Rostov, and Stalingrad,most of which he recently showedto members of the political sci¬ence club.But the most imporlant partof the lectures and articles con¬sisted of a challenging interpreta¬tion of Soviet Russia’s recent po¬litical developments. To summarize this interpreta¬tion briefly: Schuman considers a“genuine democratization of theparty and the government” as thelong-run hope and purpose of thepresent leaders in the Kremlin,for three reasons.First, erection of institutionalsafeguards against the possiblerise of a new megalomaniac who“might not only threaten the livesof the new leaders, but, possessedof Stalin’s wickedness and with¬out his wisdom, might lead thenation to disaster.”Second, abandonment of meth¬ods which have outlived theirfunction. The task of industrial¬izing. urbanizing, and educatingan illiterate peasaht society hasbeen accomplished by Stalin, “atfrightful cost and by devices mosthideous.” Now that this majoreconomic and social transforma¬tion is achieved, Stalin’s ruthlessmethods have lost whatever eco¬nomic justification they may have had and will be discarded.Third, impossibility ot rulingthe vast and modern Soviet soci¬ety by the methods of Stalinism.Schuman said in the interviewthat the new "middle class” inRussia is too intelligent and alertto be herded like sheep. The prec¬edent of Nazi Germany? "Yes,but the whole thing ended in dis¬aster, didn’t it?”Schuman concedes that “no ef¬fective ‘democratization’ of theparty, to say nothing of the gov*ernment, is yet in evidence.” Heexplains this by saying that 40years of totalitarian methods can¬not be undone overnight."But the thaw has come andthe floodgates are half open.”says Schuman. "The new Sovietpolity, thanks to the transforma¬tion of Soviet society, is alto¬gether likely to cherish civilrights, human dignity, and per¬sonal freedom beyond the wildestpretenses of the l930’s.”Page 2 THE CHICAGO MAROON August 24, 1956Timidity inhibits actionnrlz-l/N/l KO o v»/-l Q.1 nnn rv» AYYl.. r\T,A\TO tiladded 53 schools and 94,000 mem-by Gene Preston, Vice President, National Affairs—UCLA bers in tbe last twelve months.In giving a backward glance stimulus to our student bodies.

Firstly, to study seri¬ously, and in good conscience dis¬cuss the problems, as well as anyothers -independently suggested.Every person who partakes in thedecisions of this congress mustrealize that they will be treatedas the most representative .ex¬pression of student opinion avail¬able.Most important, every delegateto this Congress has the respon¬sibility of transmitting to his fel¬low students what takes placehere. In the short time I havebeen associated with NSA, I havecome to look upon the Congressas the inspirational flame whichputs meaning into what we un¬ dertake during the year, in whichour role is clarified and our foun¬dation reaffirmed. But it is notenough that we be inspired. Wemust make our campuses awareof the problems discussed hereand the resolutions adopted, andof our intensive efforts to under¬stand ourselves in our commu¬nity. If the discussion of theStudent Government Commissionhelps us to create and understandthe skeleton of student govern¬ment operation, it is the discus¬sion of the educational affairscommission which pumps lifeblood into the skeleton’s veins,which makes the deliberations ofstudent government meaningful.The resolutions taken by thiscongress are binding on no mem¬ber school. They are valuable in¬sofar as they are considered anddiscussed by student govern¬ments, and as their import to theeducational community is under¬stood by the student.Plan useful projectsby James R. Turner, Vice President for Student AffairsUniversity of North CarolinaThe student affairs commission is considered by some tobe one of the most important areas within NSA since, basic¬ally, it is the programming wing of the association. It includesan area which has the explicit purpose of practical projectsfor the region and local cam USNSA conducted a year-longsurvey during 1954 and 1955 todetermine the role which studentgovernment is now fulfilling inthe educational community.Supported by a grant of $30,000from the Ford Foundation, andunder the direction of a full-timesocial psychologist, Dr. EliotFriedson, a professional staff col¬lected data, conducted research in¬terviews and analyzed their find¬ings. Two methods were employ¬ed in compiling the results. Thefirst involved a questionnaire todeans of students and studentbody presidents. The survey find¬ings were largely based on thereplies to these questionnairesfrom 73 per cent of the senior ac¬credited colleges and universitiesin the U.S.Assume more responsibilityThe second method used con¬sisted of extensive interviewingof individual students, and admin¬istration and faculty members atfourteen selected schools. The re¬port of the research study waspublished by USNSA last Novem¬ber under the title “Student Gov¬ernment, Student Leaders, andthe American College.” Several key facts emerged fromthe survey itself which is knownas the Student Activities ResearchStudy.First: within the past twentyyears there has been a markedgrowth in the idea of studentself-government. Ten years ago,the idea of student participationon policy - making committeeswithin the college was practicallyunheard of. Today, the report re¬veals, a great many colleges havestudents actively participating oncommittees with faculty and ad¬ministrators. Students have as¬sumed increasingly larger respon¬sibilities in those areas whichprimarily pertain to students andjoint responsibilities in tnoseareas affecting the whole collegecommunity.Lack educational valueSecond: on most campuses, thenature and purpose of studentgovernment and student activityin general, are not clearly defined.Each element within the collegecommunity tends to think of stu¬dent government in a differentrole. These differences of opinionmake cooperation which is essen¬tial before student participation can achieve any degree of s'cance.Third: individual studenternments are pursuing progrwhich have little or no educateal value. The activities of nd tstudent governments have shrelation to the central purposethe college. With the increademand on students’ time andgreater effort necessary to ppare the student for responsibili-Cties beyond college, student aiytivities must begin to make^ief-inite contributions to these educa¬tional needs of the students andof the college if these activitiesare to justify their continued ex¬istence.Breeds apathyFourth: The USNSA survey in¬dicates there is a desire on thepart of most student leaders, forgreater authority and tangp’/optheir activities, but there is aparadox in the apparent apathyon the part of students as a gi~to assume the responsibilijincurred by such authority.This apathy seems to stem fro?|f*r»**?►*►►►►►>MODEL CAMERA SHOP1329 E. 55th St. HY 3-9259Most Complete Photo Shopon the South SideNSA Discount BOOK OK THE WEEK“Higher Education in theSoviet Union"by Elizabeth Moos $.25Chicago Council of American-Soviet Friendship189 W.

Its areas of endeavorinclude many widely diversifiedsubjects such as: student press,student union, parking problems,orientation programs, studenthealth and economic welfare.- Student affairs, during thisCongress, will serve, as usual,mainly as a workshop for stu¬dents from across the country. Inthis way, ideas will be exchanged,problems solved, and new pro¬grams envisioned. In addition,resolutions will also be forthcom¬ing from the various subcommis¬sions. One of the most controver¬sial issues which the commissionand congress will probably facewill be in the area of athletics.This subcommission is in theprocess of discussing big-timeathletics, subsidies to players,and the general role of athleticswithin the college community.During the past year, one of the main problems and projectswhich have been of particularconcern in student affairs in¬cludes an automobile parking sur-'vey of all NSA member schools,in an effort to solve to some ex¬tent this important problem.

For onething, three IUS-member national stu¬dent groups have directly approachedthe Association to suggest- an exchangeor one-way visit of student delegations.The three groups are the Anti-FacistCommittee of Soviet Youth, the Organ¬ization of Polish students, and the All-China Student federation. While theAssociation has not bought outright anyof these Invitations for exchange, buthas dealt with each in different waysaccording to NSA policy, it should takenotice of the significance behind theinvitations. It appears that the organi¬zations in question, and thus presum¬ably all national student groups of thatparticular political orientation, havealtered their earlier policy of cooperat¬ing with Western and other non-Com-munist student unions solely throughthe iys. Now they appear eager forcontact with such organizations, albeiton their own terms and with their ownends in mind, even if it must be com¬pletely outside the IUS.6) Fourth International Student Re¬lations seminar. The Fourth USNSAInternational Student Relations semi¬nar was held in Cambridge from July1 to August 17, 1956, and will extendthrough the 9th NSC in Chicago. Di¬rected by Peter Jones, a graduate ofthe 1954 ISRS and a Harvard law stu¬dent, the seminar took place on theHarvard campus and heard lectures bya large number of student and adultspeakers. Problems dealt with includedthe role of NSA generally; basic prob¬lems of international relations; thedevelopment of international studentmovements since World War II; the ac¬tivities of the Cominform on the stu¬dent level; and the nature of studentproblems and representative studentorganizational activity in each area ofthe globe. During the last part of theSeminar, considerable attention wasfocused on international programmingon member campuses of the Association.Jimmy’sSINCE 1940SPECIAL ! !Heavy Duty Battery 95*14Harper Super ServiceDealer in Sinclair Products5556 Harper Ave. PL 2-9654 Eye ExaminationsVisual TrainingDr. Kurt Rosenbaumoptometrist1132 E. 55th StreetHYde Park 3-8372Portrait StylistBlack and White endDirect ColorPhotographyBU 8-08761457-9 E. 57th St.IN ORIGINALPage 4 THE CHICAGO MAROON August 24, 19DHBuilding repairedMajor and minor surgery is be¬ing performed on Universitybuildings this month.In addition to the remodelingjob being done on Kent hall, theseother jobs are being done thissummer: Zoology lecture hall isbeing completely redone, withnew seats, flooring, fixtures, andceiling; Lying-In is transformingsome of the rooms in themothers’ pavilion into labora¬tories; Abbott basement is beingmade over into new labs for thebiopsychology department; Bill¬ings is remodeling its “S” and“M” corridors to provide morelabs.
