Ken¬nedy supporters operating a booth in Mandel hall during reg¬istration reported that more than two hundred students joinedthe club on Wednesday alone. Students were given Kennedyfor President buttons, bumper stickers, and campaign liter-ture in return for pledges to take part in campus and com¬munity campaign activities. Co-chairmen of the club are JoanFromm, Tony Cordesman.

Later, she said, club membersmay canvass dormitories to con¬vince more students to join.A meeting of the club’s four co-chairmen will be held shortly toplan the club’s campaign activi¬ties. Telephone canvassing, a Ken¬nedy tabloid distribution both onand off campus, and a voter regis¬tration drive will be among thetopics discussed.Cordesman, in addition to beingnamed co-chairman of the UCStudents for Kennedy and John¬son club, by the Citizens for Ken¬nedy and Johnson, who also se¬lected the four co-chairmen, wasnamed a co-chairman of the Illi¬nois Young Voters organization.This state wide group will solicitthe support of all voters undertwenty-five years of age, withmain emphasis being given to stu¬dents. Cordesman said that nearlyevery college and university in Il¬linois already has a Kennedy clubon its campus, and that theseclubs, like the UC organization,will co-operate with the local Cit¬izens for Kennedy and Johnsonorganizations in campaigningboth on and off the campus.Cordesman explained that theKennedy campaign among stu¬dents is being operated on a state,rather than a national level.

This systemseems to draw no distinction be¬tween black and white. When in¬vestigated at all, however, the sys¬tem is revealed for what it reallyis, strict race discrimination andoppression; for, while all nativePortuguese are considered as “civ¬ilized” all native Africans are con¬sidered “uncivilized.” To be con¬sidered “civilized” an Africanmust meet rigid standards set bythe Portuguese.When the relation of the num¬ber of “uncivilized” Africans iscompared to the number of “civil¬ized” Africans, the figures arequite staggering. In Angola, thelargest Portuguese colonial inAfrica, in 1958, 4.300,719, 95 percent of the total Angolese popu¬ lation, was classed as “uncivilized,” or “‘unassimilated” to Por¬tuguese standards. Only 1 per centof the Africans had reached the“civilized” category.Confronted with these statisticsone may think that the Portu¬guese government must not beworking terribly hard to raise thenumber of civilized Africans (con¬sidering that the Portuguese haveheld these colonies since the1500’s). The Portuguese govern¬ment, however, justifies the pres¬ent situation by saying that theintegration of natives into "civil¬ized” life must be done “prudent¬ly", keeping in mind that the na¬tives have a society and a cultureof their own which must be re¬spected. Actually it seems asthough the Portuguese are simplyusing this as an excuse to keepfrom happening in their countrywhat has been happening through¬out Africa. In other words, thePortuguese have no intention ofbringing closer the day of inde¬pendence for its African coloniesby educating the Africans andgiving equal rights to them.ACLU sues SummerfieldThe American Civil Liberties union (ACLU) has accused three high federal officialsof illegally destroying large quantities of mail destined for Chicago. On behalf of the Mod¬ern Bookstore and Mrs. Helen Hughes, wife of University of Chicago sociologist EverettHughes, the ACLU has filed two suits on September 12, 1960, challenging the govern¬ment’s practice of confiscating as “foreign political propaganda” large quantities of mailentering this country from abroad.

Primary andsecondary education is offered bythe state only to those who are“civilized.” The 95 per cent of thepopulation which is “uncivilized”has access only to private andmission schools.The lowest form of educationin Angola is “rudimentary” educa¬tion. This lasts for three years inwhich the students are taught ba¬sic literary skills, and basic tech¬nological skills. After these threeyears those students who passthe entrance exams and for whomthere are places available, enterprimary school. On this levelthere are only 500 state and pri¬vate schools in all Angola. Forsecondary education the govern¬ment only runs five schools whichare supplemented by 37 small pri¬vate schools. These schools serveda total of 37,000 students. Thesestudents are given technical andprofessional training. Agricultur¬al education, though theoreticallyopen to all, is actually given onlyto European students.At the secondary level, educa¬tion in Portuguese Africa ends. Togo on to a university one must goto Portugal. However, because ofthe high cost of Portuguese uni¬versities and the lack of scholar¬ships, the possibilities of an Afri¬can, who has been lucky enoughto reach this level, ever attendinga university are almost naught. Ayear ago there were no more thanfive native Angolese studying inPortugal.The result of this educationalsystem is a literacy rate of 5 percent.The result of such a system isthat the Portuguese governmentis able to keep a strong hold onits colonies without fear of anyintellectually led uprisings amongthe natives. Thus they will con¬tinue to maintain their suppress¬ing grip on these African peoples.The policy of the Post Office PROGRESSIVE PAINT & HARDWARE CO.“Hyde Park's Most Complete Paint Cr Hardware Store"Wallpaper — Gifts — Tools Rented — HousewaresUC DiscountNew LocationHY 3-3840-1 1641-43 E. 55th St.itaconslySluipImportedRainwearHeavy Duty dTwill iKnee Length VPlaid LiningChoice of ABlack, Olive Wand Natural I (7fSell PellHoundstootbHats $8.95 n608 N.

Indeed, almost every¬one has gotten into the act except theChancellor, and he is missing only for verygood reasons.By the time the registrar has countedyou, the advisors have directed you, andthe bursar has billed you, you should befully aware of the fact that you are here.In the light of this, a further word of greeting from the Maroon might wellstrike you as totally superfluous. Perhapsit is, yet such an infectious practice createsits own temptations. Moreover, there area few important things which have yet tobe said.We welcome you as fellow students.That is all you are and all you need be.Some schools find it necessary to initi¬ate their entering students, to ‘‘test’' them,to isolate them as “freshmen,” to makethem prove themselves worthy of matricu¬lation.We need no such system here, for allof you have already been initiated. Evennow you are members of that all too smallgroup which has recognized the profoundsignificance of learning, of education. Thisalone proves your worth much more thanwould beanies, or strange clothes, or deferential manners, or shaved heads orany of the other strange rites practicedelsewhere.Besides, the placement examinations aremore than enough of a test for anyone.We welcome you as individuals with in¬dividual dignities, minds, opinions, andpursuits.

Signededitorial material represents the Individual opinions of the authorsAdministration revives ideaof UC residential collegeAs part of a search for the most total, mostexcellent and most satisfying educational pro¬gram possible, the administrative officers ofthe College have revived the long dormantidea of a residential college. In the future allundergraduate women and all men in theirfirst or second year will be required to live inUniversity housing; that is, in the dorms.We think this regulation most regrettable. Wehold that it is based upon a total misconceptionof the educational community of the Chicago stu¬dent, and the type of college Chicago is.There has been much objection raised againstthe manner in which the new ruling was an¬nounced. Without consultation with students, andwith no announcement of intention beforehand,the regulation was handed down in a decal fiatthis summer. We share a resentment as to thismethod of announcement and we think that DeanSimpson, who so admires the Oxonian residentialcollege, would do well to incorporate a little Eng¬lish patience. Concentration on this point, how¬ever, only clouds the issue. The timing of the rulewas indeed objectionable, but the rule itself isalso objectionable.The Maroon has never been noted for followingblindly in the footsteps of Lawrence A. Kimpton,but we find much of value in the following state¬ment which Kimpton addressed to Student gov¬ernment in 1952. “The primary business of an edu¬cational institution is to educate. I would notdeny this for an instant. But it is also the functionof an educational institution to provide a full lifefor a student, outside the classroom and libraryas well as in.“I do not mean that it is the function of theUniversity of Chicago to give a student a mannerin any Ivy League sense. I wouldn’t mind seeinghim have some manners, but I am not sure thatit is our problem. In suggesting to our studentsthat they conduct themselves in a way consistentwith the standards and morals of our society, weare not suggesting any intellectual conformity butthe standards of good taste.“It has been the long standing policy of the Uni¬versity of Chicago to encourage intellectual andsocial maturity through the greatest possible free¬dom of expression and behavior on the part ofstudents. If you compare the elaborate dormitoryrules of most institutions with our own, you willunderstand what I mean.“If you take a look at our residence hall ad¬visory system, our student health program andour counseling center, you will note that it is ourdesire to aid you but not to coddle you, to protectyou but not regiment you, and to advise you butnot to think for you.”Dean Simpson’s first mistake is to equate a stu¬dent community with life in the dorms. We arefirmly convinced of the value of a student com¬munity, and would argue that any student livingoutside the immediate neighborhood is missing ex¬perience of real value. But, one need not live ina University residence to become a part of thiscommunity, to share its interests and participatein its activities.We can sympathize with the student who re¬jects the close supervision found in the dorms,who rejects the hours system, the liquor prohi¬bition, the solicitious house heads, and the inevit¬able noise. We object to the dorms themselves,built with a view to the budget rather than to the6 • CHICAGO MAROON •m-'.1" ■ " comfort of the student, with a view to economyrather than facilitating the community.Being surrounded by other students with whomone must co-operate might indeed be an educa¬tional experience. But is it a necessary one? Wetend to think that Dean Simpson’s views wouldchange substantially could he spend a year livingin one of his dormitories surrounded by phono¬graphs, petty thievery, rapidly cloying food andclosely pressing walls.We think that the new rule will adversely affectthe University in other ways. We see a real corre¬lation between intellectual rebellion and social re¬bellion. The College has always wanted the intel¬lectual rebel, the student who would not be satis¬fied with old intellectual answers and formula.But often this same student rejects the old socialanswers and formulas. This student wants to de¬termine his own living patterns and disciplinarysystems. There is nothing necessarily wrong withthis, for the social mores often merit disreputeand no one is more qualified to challenge societyhere than is the student.A year ago Chancellor Kimpton spoke to thispoint: “We set out to correct the public imageof the University of Chicago and on the whole wehave succeeded. We were thought rather generallyto be a strange and radical institution — alwayspostured in some weird stance of violent internalor external controversy, like an enraged .St. Thom¬as flinging a great book at the head of Joe Mc¬Carthy. Now we are not really that way at all,he said. We are a quiet, respectable, almost gen¬teel place, harboring no dangerous people or radi¬cal ideas.“We said it very persuasively, but and here ismy worry —have we somehow subtly persuadedourselves? Have we been so swayed by our ownoratory that we are in danger of really becomingquiet, respectable, genteel, with no ideas at all?Traditionally we have strummed the hairs on ourchests and likened ourselves to bold pioneers. Inchanging the extreme jmblic image that hadformed of us, do we run a risk of really losingour boldness, of having no hairs or even chestto strum?“We all know, or ought to know, that a greatuniversity is always a dangerous place with peopleand ideas that always constitute a threat to theestablished order. It is one thing to fracture thefantastic stereotype that had been formed of us;it is quite another to shatter the basic characterthat created our strength.”We can find some solace from a belief thatSimpson’s residential plan is fordoomed to inevi-able failure. Kimpton has argued that the Universi¬ty has a geist, that is, an unchangeable devotionto pure research. The College has a geist too, andthat is a committed belief in student responsibilityand independence. The two traits are interrelated.Just as the scholar would rebel should Chicagotell him what to study, the undergraduate willrebel as the College tells him where to study.Scholarship cannot be legislated, neither can anartificial student community be made viable.Dean Simpson has commented that he has heardnext to no student protest on the rule. We wouldurge every house council, every fraternity, andall appropriate clubs to take a stand on this ques¬tion. We think we know what that stand will be;by now our own should be clear enough.Sept. 30, 1960 Registration expeditedRegistration for autumnquarter courses this year proced-ed more smoothly, efficiently, andpainlessly than ever before,thanks to Spring quarter pre-reg¬istration.With the cooperation of the va¬rious undergraduate departments,the University was able to pub¬lish last April a fairly completelisting of courses to be offeredthis fall. Undergraduates sawtheir advisors, in conference withthem selected courses, and wereguaranteed by the registrar’s of¬fice of placements in thosecourses.This eliminated for fall regis¬tration the perpetual problems ofstudents without classes, classeswithout students, etc. Classeswith few scheduled memberswere dropped over the summerand the pre-registrants notified;courses were added when the de¬mand warranted it. Autumn quarter registrationhas thus been streamlined enor¬mously. But in the Winter andSpring quarters, students willhave to submit to the old and out¬moded processes.If the undergraduate depart¬ments can plan their schedulesfor the new academic year sixmonths in advance, it should notbe too difficult to plan the sched¬ule for the entire year at thistime. Planning of this kind in thefuture would eliminate the incon¬venience of winter and springregistration that students, in spiteof being pie-registered for au¬tumn, must undergo.We urge the undergraduate de¬partments, and the registrar's of¬fice, to consider planning a timeschedule for pre-registrationwhich would cover the entire aca¬demic year. Pre-registration hasproved successful in operationthis fall, it should be utilized allyear long.LettersHeadquarters-no headDear Sir:Commenting on the new central headquarters for theCollege, Dean Simpson has been quoted (HYDE PARKHERALD, 14 September 1960, p. 13) as saying, “It (thecollege of the University of Chicago) has been ... a mindwithout a suitable body.” ——At the insistence of the division¬al Mathematics Department, theold College Math 1 course hasbeen completely abandoned in fa¬vor of a standard text book.

Herofficial duties include assist¬ant dean of students, director ofVocational Guidance and Place¬ment, assistant professor in thedepartment of education, andchairman of the university park¬ing committee. Dean McCarn isalways willing to listen to anystudent’s problems or help him inany way she can in addition toher multiplicity of jobs.The office of Vocational Guid¬ance and Placement is a free serv¬ice offered to students by theUniversity. The guidance is on a personal basis, with Interviewsboth before and after a battery oftests. The main value of testing isin defining the student’s inter¬ests, but a few specific skills suchas manual dexterity can be tested.The difficulty with relying tooheavily on tests alone is that it isextremely difficult to test abilitiesat the college level. The real prob¬lem is in discovering the student'sinterests.Mrs. McCarn pointed out thatmuch is known about the studenteven before he comes into the of¬fice from the University’s recordsof his high school achievements,his College Board scores, and his performance on the placementtests.She urges any student who isstill uncertain of his vocationalaims in his second year to comein for guidance and informationon opportunities in his field ofinterest. Concentrated, specific,and careful attention is given totlie student’s needs and abilities.The placement service is per¬formed for students terminatingtheir education at Chicago,whether they are receiving a de¬gree or not, and for alumni. Thisservice is highly appreciated byboth job-seekers and employersbecause all the records, both aca¬demic and occupational, are gath¬ered together in the one office.Last year the University was vis¬ited by representatives of over100 important industries and bus¬inesses. Also, over 500 teachingpositions were offered to and ac¬cepted by graduates, recent and to interview them. In addition tothe notices sent to registered stu¬dents, announcements will beplaced in the Maroon.Beginning in November, therewill be a series of monthly list¬ings of the opportunities for grad¬uate work with financial assist¬ance here and at other schools. Scholarship and fellowship infop-mation is an integral part of theoffice. In February, the office willpublish a guide to summer jobsin co-operation with the Person¬nel office. Many of these are tra¬ditional student jobs such asworking in national parks, forestpreserves, resorts, etc.‘Old’ vs. ‘New’ debatecreates absurd splitpo&r Sir:By the time this letter reaches you it may be too late.

Every yearin the history of the University,returning students have whinedabout the lamentable lack of intel¬lectual ability in the enteringclass. For the last year so so, how¬ever, many entering students havetaken this seriously and thoughtof themselves as a breed apart.The harm done to the College bybeing split into two groups whichcan’t or won’t communicate witheach other is obvious. However,the University will outlast us alland no doubt recover from thedamage we do.The damage done to the studenthv locking himself into a self-made intellectual and psycholog¬ical ghetto is not so easily re¬paired. Getting an education is acomplicated process, but an essen¬tial part of it is being willing tolearn. The returning students willlearn, if they don't shut their eyes,that the '‘Class of '64 ’ isn’t com¬posed of intellectual deadheadswho should have gone to GlasboroState Teachers. Entering studentswill learn, same qualifications asabove, that old students aren’t allcrackpots and bohemians. We canall learn that the only importanttitle we bear is that of studentsat the University of Chicago.John L. Kim the doctrine of the c” college — it is enough if the institu¬tion offers the best possible instruction to everyone whoenters the doors of the classroom. Where and how he livesis his own business. According to the other — the doctrine of theresidential college — an education is a richer and happier experi¬ence if the people engaged in it are sharing a way of life.The Middle ages, which gave us our universities, had no doubtabout which theory was superior. If the first impulse of those dayswas for a teacher to collect his scholars around him in some sort ofclassroom, the second was to organize a community. The collegeswhich sprang up in places like Oxford and Cambridge endure todayas institutions whose corporate quality has weathered all changesand whose charm has cast a spell over every educator in a positionto imitate them.Without these examples, the advantages of involving the W’holeman in the experience of education would no doubt have been suffi¬ciently persuasive. The idea of a residential college naturally appealsto an imaginative mind. If more colleges are not largely or whollyresidential, we may be very sure that the reason Is usually less amatter of philosophy than of economies.At no time in its history has the University of Chicago embracedthe theory of the city college as a matter of principle. The oldestdormitories are sufficient testimony to the inclinations of the found¬ing fathers. The architects of Hutchinson Commons planned morespaciously than the engineers of modern cafeterias. Administratorsbefore World War I dreamed of a house system that would haveanticipated the developments at Harvard and Yale. — Burton-Judsonwas a post war fraction of this plan. The fraternity life whichflourished between the wars, whatever its limitations, was at leasta vote of confidence in communal living. And the Hutchins Collegeat the height of its absorption in the classroom experience, wasuneasily aware that this experience was not enough.The revolution of recent years, which has turned us into a morefully residential college than we have ever been before, ought to beappreciated in the light both of this background and of the neigh¬borhood around us. It is at once a fulfillment of old dreams and auseful protection against new hazards.The students who are not entirely happy with these prospectsseem to feel one of three misgivings.The first is the fear that residential life in Chicago will assume acharacter which is obnoxious to some cherished prejudices. It will beso gregarious that it will be impossible to be morose! It will make uslook far more respectable than we are or ever desire to be! It willsap our high devotion to the works of the mind! It might even meanwe might have to show some college spirit! I can only say that this fear argues a curious lack of confidencein the Chicago traditions and a melancholy ignorance of the betterpossibilities of community living. The imagination of .some of thecritics, when they contemplate a residential college, seems to riseno higher than the halls of old Podunk.The second criticism is the object that, whatever the virtues of anideal residential life, our residences are so far from ideal that noone ought to be compelled to live in them. I would take this moreseriously if I were less struck by the inconsistency of the critics.The student who objects to the residential policy on the pretentiousgrounds that it will “de-emphasize the intellectual” and then addsthat what really gets him down is the food, is not a serious problem.A judicious mixture of Great Books and Green Salads ought toreassure him. The student who explains (beyond the bounds of faircomment) all the space, quiet, and comfort he would like to haveis no less vulnerable. It could all be provided at a price: but whocould pay it? The experience of foregoing what we cannot affordis part of an education, and a very tolerable one here, where thesacrifices are as slight as they are.The third is the objection which attacks the principle itself: “Theresidential life may suit some, but it doesn’t suit us; we prefer a citycollege.” To this there is ultimately no reply, except a cordial invi¬tation to find a city college where the instruction is as good as it ishere. If it is not as good, some discomfort ought to be borne by theearnest individualist, even if it means meeting new people, sharingtheir ideas and fun, and learning to manage his dislikes.Man is a social animal. The shared experience of a residential col¬lege. where there is a proper respect for the individual and a rea¬sonable freedom from banality, is one of the best parts of his edu¬cation.Alan SimpsonTHE NEWCAFE CAPRI1863 E. 71»4 StreetFeaturing EtprttM CoHae and Continental Sp««wlti«Falk Singing sad Art ExkibihHoars: Saturday— 1J A.M. to 3 A.M.Sunday — 2 P.M. to MidnigMClosed MondayTuesday thru Thursday — 6 P.M. to MidnightFriday—-6 P.M. to 2 A.M.Alan Simpson addressesstudents over WUC8.If you are going to move,think of Peterson.

For today Ibegin my seventh year of writing columns for the makers ofMarlboro Cigarettes.Seven years! Can it be possible? It seems only yesterday Iwalked into the Marlboro offices, my knickers freshly pressed,my cowlick wetted down, my oilcloth pencil box clutched inmy tiny hand.

"About such vital questions as:Should the Student Council have the power to levy taxes?Should proctors be armed? Should coeds go out for football?”"And will you say a kind word from time to time aboutMarlboro Cigarettes,” asked one of the makers whose name isHonor Bright."Why, bless you, sirs,” I replied, chuckling silverly, "thereis no other kind of word except a kind word to say alxnitMarlboro Cigarettes—the filter cigarette with the unfilteredtaste—that happy combination of delicious tobacco and ex¬clusive selectrate filter—that loyal companion in fair weather orfoul—that joy of the purest ray serene.”There was another round of handshakes then and the makerssqueezed my shoulders and I squeezed theirs and then we eachsqueezed our own. And then I hied me to my typewriter andbegan the first of seven years of columning for the makers ofMarlboro Cigarettes.And today as I find myself once more at my typewriter, oncemore ready to begin a new series of columns, perhaps it wouldbe well to explain my writing methods. I use the term "writingmethods” advisedly because I am, above all things a methodicalwriter. I do not wait for the muse; I work every single day ofthe year, Sundays and holidays included. I set myself a dailyquota and I don’t let anything prevent me from achieving it.My quota, to be sure, is not terribly difficult to attain (it is,in fact, one word per day) but the important thing is that I doit every single day. This may seem to you a grueling schedulebut you must remember that some days are relatively easy—for example, the days on which I write "the” or "a”. On thesedays I can usually finish my work by noon and can devote therest of the day to happy pursuits like bird-walking, monopoly,and smoking Marlboro Cigarettes. £ MM0 Kim Ptiulmaa* * *The makers of Marlboro are happy to bring you anotheryear of Max Shulman's free-U'heeling, uncensored column■—and are also happy to bring Marlboro Cigarettes, and fornon-filter smokers—mild, flavorful Philip Morris.IIIIIIIIIIIHIflllllHIIItlHHIIItHllimilllllllllllimilllllllHIIIIIIHItlllllllllllllHtllllHIIIIIIIIimiHtlllltltllllllllllltll^Now Featuring A Buffet LuncheonMonday through Friday |11 :30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.$1.35 — ALL YOU CAN EAT — $1.35 The College takes pleasurein announcing a new essaycontest designed to encouragewhat might bo termed “social Mea proposed> the practlral pos.invention.

In doing so, it recognizesthat character, background, andadaptability to a complex society college is an act of faith in ayoung man or woman’s future,”commented O’Connell. “Each andevery application for admissions,then, must be weighed carefullyand judiciously. This means thatmuch more than test scores mustbe taken into consideration."For this reason, the office re¬lies heavily upon interviewing.Interviews turn in reports on gen¬eral impression of each prospec¬tive student. They rate his groom¬ing. coherence in expression, de¬finition of objectives, comprehen¬sion, and social adaptability. Theyare also asked if the student isalert, cooperative, courteous,friendly, and poised.At these four conferences,O’Connell and Perry will also beexplaining recent changes in UCpolicy.The College Board will com¬mence testing for writing abilitythis year.

He added that aprogram of greater inter-fraternity cooperation would bring “suchconcrete advantages as enabling fraternity officers who confront thesame problems in discharging their duties to confer and solve theseproblems more easily, and making possible joint buying, and groupsubscription to services, thus bringing about economies and effici¬encies of all kinds.**Future workshops are planned for treasurers, housemen, andstewards at which the special problems of each office will be dis¬cussed.

The sameround of a few of the most popu¬lar symphonies, concerti, and operas irritates the listener asmuch, in time, as hearing Itty-bitsy Teeny-weeny Yellow Polka-dot Bikini every time he turnson the radio. Also most of theworks played on many stationsfall in the narrow range of yearsbetween 1700 and 1900.

Thucydides provides acomplete script, with hardly anyre-writing needed. Another pro¬ject of this kind is "The Man whowas always Wrong,” a memoirof the music critic Hanslick, whowas wrong about almost everycomposer he ever reviewed.

Thebest and most important of thesewill be kept permanently in thetape library, where we alreadyhave a pretty good collection, in¬cluding ex-Chancellor Hutchins,David Riesman, Dorothy Parker,Jacques Barzun, and others."WUCB’s own discussion pro¬grams will continue, as will newscommentary and coverage of im¬portant campus news, such aslast year’s report on ChancellorKimpton’s resignation. We wouldlike to establish a program ofdiscussion of important worldissues, like the old University ofChicago Roundtable. Also weplan a discussion of education,here and elsewhere, real andideal, continuing over a long peri¬od. We’re thinking of calling this"The University of Utopia.”"Among programs with lessgrim purpose, we are planningseveral folk music and jazzshows, to be heard weekly.There’s a program in the works,tentatively titled "The Exile’sHour,” which would be aimed ex¬clusively at people from NewYork city, in other words, abouthalf the campus. We have foundthat humor of real quality can¬not bo depended on on a regularweek-to-week basis, but we havehigh hopes of a monthly show onthe order of "Fun and Trash,”or Kent Flannery’s classic “Space-warp.”"FM is still a recurring dreamwith all the station members,”Vermazen said. "We still hopethat the University will let us geta license some time in the future.We could produce programs ofgeneral interest which the com¬mercial stations couldn’t provide.But most of all right now,” hesighed, "we want an ordinary lit¬tle AP News Ticker.” When reading advance proofsof the story on the new dormitoryregulations, we were struck byDean Simpson’s remark that hehad met only one person whodisagreed with the new rules.

CLPSIO MftV.MAll ORDIRS NOW Just out of curiosity and an inclination to keep up with the times,we’ve been looking into the Honor Society situation, where there arenew breakthroughs nearly every time vou blink. We visited theoperations division of the Office of School Spirit last week, andfound things humming.At this time of year the Office is mainly occupied with traditionsfor the entering student trade, and they were rushed by a closedelivery deadline; Lake Geneva was only a few days away, and themajority of the new traditions were tied up in the ageing departmont, having wormholes borod in them and cobwebs spraved onthem. Ageing is a nrocess that can’t he rushed, as any reputableantique man will tell vou; it takes days of careful work.Despite this difficulty, work has "one sJeadilv ahead on t^e honorsocieties’ front. We don’t pretend to he experts in this field, and with .the amount of research that’s coin" on theep days, it’s even hardfor a specialist to keep un with the literature. Rut however abstractthe theory, the results of the work being done by Dr. W’oodbine and ■<his associates is surely of general interest.The office is still working out the implications of last year’s bigbreakthrough; honor societies for peonle who haven’t done anything.What is now known as the "University S'hola^s” idea is embodiedin two of the more important new groups: Tooth and Nail, a societyfor men who will someday he most likelv to succeed; and Mortar andPestle, an all campus honorary for students who have expressed in¬terest in the physical .sciences. For the first year student, arriving"on eamnus to find himself a student leader, we imagine it was apleasant surprise.Among the service clubs, the big news this year comes not fromthe administration, but from the grass-roots. We salute the spon¬taneously organized society to honor James R. Lawson, departinguniversity earilloneur, and to keep his memory green. Their projectis to prevent anyone else from ever playing the Chapel chimes, out#of resoeet for him. This cuts two ways: we have a new service clubwith light duties, and an infinite life span; and it would give us amuch-needed new tradition; we ran tell people about our seventy-twobell carillon, and then we can tell them why we don’t use it. And. ofcourse, there would be other side benefits.Someone, we don’t remember who, remarked to us once that clubsand societies spring up to ease long-felt needs; if this is so, there are,still gaps in the impressive and growing roster of official societies.At least we still have some unsalved long felt needs. We gave thema little thought, and after we got the hang of how it’s done, it waseasy. We propose for immediate addition to the UC club program; rEbony Cufflink, for second year students who do not tell enteringstudents all about how the college used to be; Tea and Sympathy,for all undergraduates who think Mortimer Adler is too funny forwords; and Albatross and Millstone, for students in good standing*who have declined the chairmanship of Festival of the Arts.Now is the time to get rid of these long felt needs, all right; wefeel better already.VinceremosPAUL'S HARDWARE & PAINT SUPPLYHyde Parle's Largest Hardware StoreSTUDENT DISCOUNT°^6 E. 55H| Ml 3 9754tnUX,mylooina>anlivrark.iin;torilan.UiOSiris.:e islar,thoone.x>i -oldsCity.form«*s,arcthean* lion«lose .I hrlart-ontahlron orwith .hardrartand •hip;inp.idird?ietyandd in-ivinp 'as afrompon-tinplicet, out#clubus aM wond, ofclubse arc.irtirs.themt wasmv. rteringaathy,y fornding*t; wrtos rY54 WUCB broadcast amidstclothesline of black wirejrIn the basement of BJ, amidst clotheslines of black wire, surrounded bv walls of driiwbeaverboard (for “soundproofing”) WUCB broadcast its fikt programsWTTrR was founded in 1947 as WHITS: r- tJ. ...who constructed the studios nowvisible in the Burton basement.Radio stationTheir first station was construction in what is now the BJ snack-bar Some time afterthe foundation of the station, the e alterfather of one of the founders. aK° has been expanded to include a d m i n i s t r a t i o n.

We also print the works ofestablished authors, poets andscholars which have been solicitedby us.“If we were satisfied with thecontemporary literary situation,”Pak continued, “we wouldn’t pub¬lish another magazine, but wouldspend our time reading. However,we feel that there is a need for amagazine which publishes thekind of material that we handle.”The Chicago Review was estab¬lished in 1916 by students at theUniversity of Chicago. The origi¬nal purpose of the magazine wasto publish the works of studentsand well known writers and schol¬ars.The Review was originally pub¬lished in pamphlet form, and alew even had newspaper format. The quarterly first took its pres¬ent magazine shape in 1953.In 1958, under the editorship ofIrving Rosenthal, the Review wassuspended by UC’s administrationafter publishing several articlesby “beat generation” authors, in¬cluding William Burroughs andEdward Dalberg.Several of the Review’s editorsresigned during the controversy,forming a large part of the stafffor a new ma.gazine. Big Table.The first issue of Big T-ible,which has no connnection witheither UC or the Review, wasidentical with the banned issue ofthe Review.Pak electedAfter the resignation of theReview editors, a new editor wassearched for who could, accordingto minutes of the Review meet¬ing, “publish in all good con¬science a magazine of high liter¬ary standards which will complywith the standards of the adminis¬tration.” The meeting, which wasattended by all the editors whohad resigned, elected Pak by avote of 15 2. According to Pak, he was, be¬fore the time of the election, slat¬ed to succeed Rosenthal as editor.At the time, the Review’s editorwas constitutionally empoweredto appoint his successors.The Review is subsidized bygrants from the department ofhumanities and the College, salesand advertisements in the mag¬azine, and subscriptions. Subsidyfrom the University comes direct¬ly through the academic deans’offices, and not through the stu¬dent activities office.The eirculation of the Review,Pak noted, is one of the largestof any of the literary quarterliesin the United States. In a reeentlist of the 18 leading literary mag¬azines in the country, edited byleading English scholars and pub¬lished by Mentor books, the Re¬view was included along with theAtlantic Monthly, Harpers, andothers.Turning to the type of poetrypresented in the Review, Paksaid, “We are not partial to anyparticular type of poetry writing.We have no biases, including anydirected at the “beat” poets, andNew magazine on campusThe latest addition to publications on the University of Chicago campus is New Univer¬sity Thought, a magazine which its editors call “a political magazine ... a scholarly journal. . . and a journal of opinion.”Staff for the new publication is made up o f students and faculty members at the Univer¬sity. The staff is headed by a board of eight editors and eight associate editors.The magazine, which is to be published quarterly, has been financed so far by privatecontributions solicited by the staff, and some con¬tributions from the staff itself. One issue has beenprinted already, with the second scheduled to ap¬pear on October 15.“There are a multiplicity of purposes to thismagazine,” said Paul Levy, one of its associateeditors, “It is largely devoted to the ideas of stu¬dents and young academicians and professionalpeople.“We also hope,” Levy continued, “to serve as anational student journal, a journal which, by pro¬viding needed communicatory links between stu¬dents on different campuses, can give directionto the student movement. We are trying to ana¬lyze the events of the day from the viewpoint ofstudents and young professional people.”Levy reported that sales for the first issue ofNew University Thought have been “going beau¬tifully.” “ We sold out our first press run of 3,000copies, and will print 5,000 for our next issue.” Themagazine can be bought at any of the bookstoresIn Hyde Park, prices are 50 cents a copy or asubscription rate of $1.50 for three issues. Sub¬scriptions have reached “several hundred” ac¬cording to Levy.An editorial in the first issue of the journal de¬fines the goals of New University Thought: “In aworld facing enormous problems . . . Americanintellectuals, students and professionals have with¬drawn from participation in public life. Valuableknowledge and training which could be directedtoward solving social and intellectual problems,become increasingly overspecialized; profession¬ als and disciplines are isolated from one anotherand from society. Our generation has been ac¬cused of being ‘silent’ because it has not pro¬duced any ideological and political movements.“Nor does it subscribe to any of the old ideolo¬gies or movements,” the editorial continues, “butsocial movements are necessary for the solution ofsocial problems, an important reason for this lackis that we cannot find the kind of sound thinkingfrom which to develop a coherent way of lookingat society which can provide a rational basis for apolitical program for the ’60’s and ’70’s.”The first issue of New University Thought In¬cluded The Search for Challenge by former UCsociologist David Riesman and Our Choice —Atomic Death or World Law by physicist LinusPauling. Future issues will have articles by Adla!Stevenson, Senator Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) andSenator Joseph Clark (D-Pa.). The magazine doesnot pay for articles used.There had been charges from groups on theUC campus that New University Thought is con¬trolled by Leftist organizations. Associate editorLevy denied these charges, however, saying, ‘Theyare completly untrue. We have received unsolici¬ted letters of commendation from Senator Aiken(R-Vt.), Senator John Sherman Cooper (R-Ky.),Clark, Columbia sociologist C. Wright Mills, Stev¬enson, and Harvard political scientist ArthurSchlessinger, Jr. Any charges prove themselvesfalse.” we try to present all sorts of writ¬ing provided they meet certainstandards.”The Review also publishes nu¬merous essays, both by unknownand established scholars. “We tryto publish substantial essayswhich re-examine contemporaryAmerican culture and the generalliterary situation and its move¬ment” Pak continued. “If we canfind a new movement in a direc¬tion that we like to see we pub¬lish a special edition.”Two of these special editions,one devoted entirely to the exis¬tentialist movement and the otherto Zen Buddhism have receivedpraise from all over the world.Pak mentioned that the Reviewhas not published drama in thepast four or five years not be¬cause none is wanted, but ratherbecause none has been receivedwhich meets the magazine’sstandards.The Review’s editor considersthe quarterly’s book reviewsunique. “We feel that the reviewsare more substantial than thosein other magazines,” Pak stated.“We don’t want to inform readersof the plot of a fiction story orthe content of a non-fiction arti¬cle, but we would rather presentliterary scholars who evaluate thewhole text as a creative work ofart. The author of the reviewpresents hi& own view’s as muchas anything else. The articles arenot book reviews as much as theyare review essays.”Art work includedArt work is also includedin the magazine. All kinds of me¬dia, including woodcuts, litho¬graphs, etchings, collage, andsculpture are included.Material for the Review is gath¬ered in two ways. The editorsread through many of the literaryand “little” magazines in thecountry to find writers who theyconsider to have literary merit.“If a certain idea that a scholarwrites about is an idea in whichwe are interested we ask him ifthey are willing to write a piecefor the Review,” Pak commented.The Review receives approxi¬mately 1,500 manuscripts a year,from which articles published areselected. Very few of the pub¬lished articles are written by UCstudents because, Pak says, “of the 1,500 manuscripts submitted,less than 1 or 2 per cent comefrom the campus.” However, arti¬cles written by UC professors, in¬cluding Reul Denny, Hans Mor-genthau, and Nathan Scott havebeen published.Pak, mentioning the criteriaused in the selection of articlesfor publication, said, “It is hardto generalize about what we lookfor in an article. In poetry, furexample, we are not looking forElliots, Spenders or Williams inthe young poets. We try to under¬stand what authors are trying todo in their poems, then look athow well they do what they pro¬posed to da“We do, of course, want thestructure to be consistent,” Pakcontinued, “and we are not look¬ing for poetry that has ‘a coupleof good lines.’ We want, poetrythat has a good, substantial ideaexpressed in it.”Magazine growsConsidering the changes in theReview since the controversy of1958, Pak said, "The Review hasbeen making constant growth forthe past five years. Under IrvingRosenthal the magazine was par¬tial to certain kinds of writing,su^h as the ‘beatnik’ authors. To¬day we try to be completely impartial.“Today’s editors,” Pak men¬tioned, “haven’t published any¬thing just because at the momentwe felt that it was all right topublish it. We feel that today wehave put more substantial andprofound thinking behind edi¬torial policy.“We can't publish a good maga¬zine without the presence of goodwriters.” Pak said. “Sometimeswe haven't published one type ofarticle because there was no ma¬terial of that type good enough.”Pak said that one of the majorfunctions of the Review, is to“provide training for studentswho wish to become good editors.Many of the former Review staffmembers have become successfulin the publishing world.”Any interested students whowish to join the magazine’s staffshould come to the first meetingof the Review, on October 6 at3:30 pm. The meeting will be heldin the Review office, 904 E. 58thstreet.Phoenix to publishPhoenix is a magazinewhich, like the bird for whichit is named, has risen fromits own rubble.The magazine was first begunin 1920, as a strictly hi?"-'*- mag¬azine. Being an almost nationally'Midway' magazine publishes articles"in manner in which can be understood nMidway magazine, which will publish its fourth quarterlyissue in early October, was founded because Carroll Bowen,assistant director of the University of Chicago Press, felt thatthere was a public need for a journal to “present scholarlyarticles in a manner which can be easily understood by thelayman.”Midway’s editor, Mrs! Felicia Anthenelli Holton, feels today thatBowen’s idea was a valid one. “We already have 10,000 paid subscrip¬tions, from places as far off as Melbourne, Australia and SaudiArabia, and our total circulation is about 12,000,” said Mrs. Holton,“and we have done almost no advertising. All subscriptions havebeen solicited through direct letters.”Mrs. Holton is currently acting as editor and one woman staff ofMidway, in addition to working in the Public Relations departmentof the University.Material for the new magazine is selected from the journals andbooks published by the UC Press. The Press publishes 33 journalsand approximately 70 books per year.Mrs. Holton says that Midway tries to cover “as many fields ofscholarship as possible.” Coverage ranges from philosophy andreligion to science, and some poetry is included. However, there islittle fiction in the magazine, because the Press prints little fictionalmaterial.The magazine is published in pocket book size because, in Mrs.Holton’s words, “Today ‘the pocket book’s the thing.’ ” It is one ofthe few scholarly journals that is illustrated, including both drawings»nd photographs. There is a photograph on the cover because “Wedon’t want to be mistaken for one of the literary magazines, andBiey always have drawings on the cover.”W • CHICAGO MAROON • Sept. 30, 1960 Articles which are selected for publication are either rewritten,condensed or printed as is. Some of the revision is done in consulta¬tion with the authors, and some by Mrs. Holton alone. Mrs. Holtonselects material by scanning all the press journals and books.After the first issue of Midway appeared, some critics referred toit as “the University’s Readers’ Digest.” Mrs. Holton regards thesecriticisms lightly, saying that they are amusing. Anybody who readsthe magazine at once realizes the ’difference between the Readers’Digest and Midway. Midway is a high calibre magazine, and is notall light reading.Mrs. Holton, after the three issues of Midway, is very pleased withthe financial success of the new venture. “We are not out of thewoods yet, but we hope to be clear soon. We have not yet includedadvertising, but are seriously thinking of starting soon,” she says.The layout and appearance Midway also drew praise from itseditor. She commended Greer Allen, art director of the UC Press,for “the excellent job he has done for the magazine.”However, Mrs. Holton said that she hoped that the content of thejournal will improve in the future. “We need more time to rewriteand condense material. Many extremely worthwhile articles are toolong or too technical to appeal to a popular audience,” she noted.In the coming year, Mrs. Holton hopes to improve Midway’scoverage of science. “We promised our readers science and they aregoing to get science.”Magazine editor Holton has served as editor of the University ofChicago magazine, UC’s alumni magazine. She has also edited theUniversity of Chicago Reports, a bulletin issued by the Public Rela¬tions office. While she edited the latter publication, it received acertificate of merit from the American College Public Relationsassociation. known magazine during the firstyears of its existence, it was evencondemned by several newspa¬pers for its “licentious humor.”However, in 1935, the magazinecompletely dropped out of sight.Nobody is quite sure of the rea¬son for its disappearance, but to¬day’s Phoenix editor, Craig Die¬trich, says, “Perhaps it was because of the depression. Thosewere very difficult days to pub¬lish a magazine.”Phoenix reappeared in 1957,again as a humor magazine. How¬ever, editor Dietrich explains,“We ran into the difficulty of ob¬taining good copy.” The problemof getting material has been aperennial plague of the magazine.The journal’s format waschanged to make it more of a va¬riety magazine. Dietrich todayconsiders Phoenix “a literary stu¬dent publication.”Dietrich plans increased activi¬ty on the part of the magazine’seditors in the coming year. “Wehope to tap a lot of sources thathave not been checked before,” hesaid. “We will go after many ofthe people on this campus whocan write, and, in addition, hopeto run a good deal of facultywritings.“We are interested in good sa¬tire, humor, short fiction andcriticism,” Dietrich continued.“Any student who feels that hehas a worthwhile contribution tomake should not hesitate to sendit to us.”The first issue of Phoenix willappaear on October 10.

In 1930, each of UC’s 28 spe¬cialized graduate departmentswas an autonomous unit, report¬ing directly to the president. Theprinciple of departmental autono¬my was a long-standing tradition,deeply ingrained in the school’shistory. Hutchins thought it un¬wieldy, he presented a one-pageproposal for revision which wasreadily adopted by the facultysenate. One time he lost was when lietried to place Mortimer Adler inthe philosophy department. Afterfirst accepting Adler, the depa.V-ment rebelled, and a number ofprofessors quit. Here Hutchinsrecognized failure and created anew professorship for Adler: aseat in ethical law’, later knownabout campus as the professor¬ship of the blue sky.His second major defeat,though, was only temporary.Hutchins shared Harper's distaste RMH alters collegeCornerstone-laying ceremony for Rockefeller chapel.The President was given theauthority to assign each depart¬ment to one of four divisions: so¬cial sciences, biological sciences,natural sciences, and humanities.Even more significant, an inde¬pendent college faculty was cre¬ated. (Howevert members of thecollege faculty had to be mem¬bers of divisional faculties also.)But, the newly established col¬lege faculty was not given au¬thority to grant the Bachelor’sdegrees. The divisional facultiesstill maintained control of thataward. The College did grant theAssociate of Arts, or AA, title.The next step was revision ofthe curriculum. A special commit¬tee resurrected the Mason reportand utilized most of that body’ssuggestions. The program wasput into operation in 1932, and thefirst “New College” was created.Seven comps requiredThe College student would beheld for seven comprehensive ex¬aminations: one in each of thefour divisional areas, two in hisown field of specialization, andone in written English. Math anda foreign language were estab¬lished only as remedial require¬ments.In order to advise studentsthrough this maze, a new Univer¬sity office was created: that ofdean of students.It is important to rememberthat this plan only covered thefirst two years of a student’s un¬dergraduate work; the rest of hiscareer was in the hands of de¬partment.Harper college paralleledIn many ways the New Collegeclosely paralleled the junior col¬lege structure of Harper’s day.The College served only the 13thand 14th grades, its degree wasnot terminal, it did not award theBA. One significant change,though, was the development ofCollege staffs; each staff was re¬sponsible for shaping the con¬tours of its appropriate generaleducation course.John Barden, a Maroon editorin this period, reports the follow¬ing conversation with the then 34-year-old UC president. “Here Iam, 20 years old and Jotally un¬educated after tw’o years of yourNew Plan,” said Barden."That’s nothing,” re t o r t e dHutchins, “I'm 34 years old, to¬tally uneducated, and president.”"What are you doing about oureducation?” asked Barden."Reading the great books,” saidHutchins."If you think the great booksare so educative, why don’t youput them into the curriculum?”"I don’t run the place.”"Who does?”"The faculty,” said Hutchinsglumly, for the former Yale deandid suffer occasional losses in hisdisputes with the faculty. for the American 8 4 4 pattern ofeducation. "Above a high schoolwhich comes at the wrong time,and does the wrong things,” heexplained, "we have either thefour-year college, or the juniorcollege. The four-year collegetries in its first two years to rem¬edy the deficiencies of the highschool and in its last to adminis¬ter specialized education. The jun¬ior college, which is too short tohave an effective program, con¬founds the confusion it was in¬tended to eliminate.Organization needed“What we need in organization,then, to clear away the incoher¬ence with which we are now af¬flicted, is a 6-year elementaryschool, a four-year high school,and a four-year college. No validargument can be made againstsuch an organization, but the tra¬dition and inertia of educationyield slowly to logic.”He tried to convince the facultythat the college should become afour-year institution by incorpo¬rating the final two years of highschool.Though quietly passed by theTrustees, the proposed plan pro¬voked an outraged response inthe faculty. Some felt that twomajor revisions of the Co!legecurriculum were too much in twoBob and Maude Hutchinsarrive on campus in 1929.years. Others felt their dignityendangered, that they were beingreduced to the stature of highschool teachers. In the face ofthis, this early entrant plan wasshelved.Revisions approvedFour years later it was againintroduced and quietly approvedby all appropriate bodies. In the meantime, other changeswere being made. In 1932 the Col¬lege achieved total autonomy. Itwas no longer necessary for aCollege professor to belong to adivisional faculty. This policy,though sometimes challenged, hasnever been removed. This movedthe College even farther awayfrom the researchers toward theteachers. And this was not sur¬prising, for Hutchins had alreadywritten that "the object of theeducational system, taken as awhole, is not to produce hands forindustry or to teach the younghow to make a living. It is toproduce responsible citizens.”Hutchins' most famous, book,The Higher Learning in America,was published in 1936. In it hemade his most explicit statementof his conception of a college, ofan educated man. "What shall(our) curriculum be?"A course of study consistingof (he greatest books of the West¬ern world and the arts of reading,writing, thinking, and speaking,together with mathematics, thebest exemplary of the process ofhuman reason. If our hope hasbeen to frame a curriculum whicheduces the elements of our com¬mon human nature, this programshould realize our hope.History required"If we wish to prepare theyoung for intelligent action, thiscourse of study should assist us;for they will have learned whathas been done in the past, andwhat the greatest men havethought. They will have learnedhow to think for themselves.In other words, specialized ed¬ucation will take care of itself ifthe general education program isgood enough, but, on the otherband, the world can scarcely sur¬vive the loss of sound liberal edu¬cation.While this view was bitterly at¬tacked by many members of thefaculty, it convinced many more,and, as reported earlier, in 1937the faculty approved the fouryear college for early entrantsthat Hutchins had requested in1933.Both this four-year college, cov¬ering grades 11-14, and the two-year college existed side by side,each had a different curriculum,and neither awarded the BA —both granting the AA.New college offeredThe two-year college demandedthat students pass seven compre-hensives; the new four-yearschool held its student to 15.These fifteen courses includedthree-year sequences in the hu¬manities, natural sciences, socialsciences, reading, writing andcriticism, a one year course inphilosophy, and two comprehen-sives on divisional electives. Pre¬paration in math and foreign lan¬guages was expected of the enter¬ing student prior to matriculation.The coming of the Second Worldwar produced many changes atChicago, ineluding one enteringclass with only 92 men. Amongother things, the bachelor's pro¬gram was very much an accidentof tlie war.Ruben Frodin in The Idea andPractice of General Education re¬ports that after December 7, 1941“every effort was made to pro¬vide the maximum use of the Uni¬versity’s resources and the max¬imum opportunity for students toget an education before enteringmilitary service or to get train¬ing for special war work in theshortest possible time."Hutchins, in a speech to thefaculty on January 7, 1942, statedthat he believed the time to bepropitious to awai’d the Bachelor’sdegree to mark the completion ofthe program of general educationoffered by the Collage.”Education is continuousIn the midst of the debateHutchins states that “no programof liberal education, whether itends at eighteen or twenty-two,can produce a man who will neverhave to learn anylhing more. Aliberal education should commu¬nicate the leading facts, principlesand ideas which an educated man should possess, together with theintellectual techniques needed toacquire, understand, and applymore facts, principles, and ideas."This and only this the Collegepretends to do. Edueation is a life¬long proeess. We are not so de¬luded as to suppose that educa¬tional institutions, by any age,ran do what only a full life ofstudy, reflection, and experiencecan accomplish.”Hutchins’ proposal was finallyaccepted by the faculty in a 63 to48 vote.The College committed itself tothe idea that an educated manwas a liberally educated man.This proposition came to a testshortly after the war. In additionto the BA, the College was alsoallowed to award the Bachelor ofPhilosophy of PhB. Candidates preparation, but little work hadbeen done. During the war, how¬ever, the University did muchtesting work for the army andgained much experience in theprocesses of testing. After thewar, the office turned to the prob¬lem of placements with a passion.The New College was essential¬ly intended as a junior college;high school graduates were ex¬pected to "place out of” six of thefourteen courses, the remainingwork would easily be completedin two years. The early entrant,for whom the program was intended could not expect suchplacement results, but then, hehad more time to spend. Thegraduate departments set aboutconstructing three-year mastersprograms.Unfortunately, few high schoolParaders march down University avenue during 2ndWorld War.for this latter degree substitutedtwo sequence courses in his fieldof specialization tor two of theterminal courses offered in theCollege. Thus, a student hopingfor a masters in English mighttake departmental Englishcourses in lieu of, say, naturalscience three and social sciencethree.The College faculty, committedto the idea of general education,wanted to remove this area ofspecialization from its curricu¬lum. It voted to eliminate the PhBdegree. This action was over ruledby the Council of the UniversitySenate. Hutchins, who, in 1945,had exchanged the title Presidentfor that of Chancellor, over ruledthe Council by a veto. The Coun¬cil, reacting to the single instanceof a veto in the University’s histo¬ry, voted to over rule the Chan¬cellor. The question seemed head¬ed straight for the Board of Trus¬tees, a possibility which everyonewished to avoid.PhB droppedThe College made a few com¬promises and the Council conced¬ed to their request, the elimina¬tion of the PhB program.Throughout this two additionshad been made to the curriculum.The changes adopted in 1942 elim¬inated the two specialized electivecomprehensives, leaving the totalnumber required at thirteen. In1944 a fourteenth was added, thelong missing mathematics course.The following year a third of thethree-year English compositionsequence was eliminated in favorof a foreign language course; thetotal number of "comps” re¬mained 14. .As early as 1932 Chicago hadconsidered the possibility of place¬ment examinations, tests whichwould put a student in the aca¬demic "spot” most suited to his graduates did as well as was ex¬pected, and it was a rare studentwho placed out of six courses, andeven rarer student who graduatedin two years. Even more distress¬ing, the AB degree the Collegewas awarding was just about use¬less beyond our own cloisteredquads.Further attempts at perfectionwere made. In 1946 another yearof the English sequence waschopped off and a History ofWestern Civilization course wasadded; the magic fourteen remained. No further changes woremade in the comprehensive struc¬ture until last year. There werefew external changes until 1950.War worker HutchinsBut a disillusionment seemedto be settling in the Chancellor’soffice One University historiantheorizes that Hutchins was terri¬fied by that which he saw aroundhim, that Hutchins feared he waswitnessing the destruction ofwestern civilization.In The University of UtopiaHutchins writes, "We are nowfamiliar with the notion that thereal strength of a nation lies inits industrial power. The Germanand Japanese adventures werebuilt on this premise."Although the failure of theseexperiments is not conclusive evi¬dence of the falsity of the prem¬ise, for perhaps Germany andJapan simply misjudged theirpower, their failure may suggestto us, as indeed all history sug¬gests, that something more thanpower is needed if a nation is tobecome and continue to be suecessful in any meaning of theword."The indispensable ingredientis wisdom.”But Hutchins and his facultycould not produce wisdom; at bestthey could approximate it in thosestudents who responded to theirKimpton and the new collegeHutchins qtrm* farewellpeech.lC*eM«W Inn M9« 20)program. Hutchins could notdiarvse the world; he had expect¬ed his doctrines to be universallyaccepted, instead they were al¬most universally rejected.In December of 1950 the calmwhich had surrounded the Collegeduring the previous five yearswas abruptly shattered. RobertMaynard Hutchins resigned.Though rumors to this effecthad been circulating about cam¬pus during all twenty years of hisregime, the fifty-year-old educatort aught the quadrangles totally offguard.In his farewell speech to thestudent body, February 2, 1951,Hutchins informed his formercharges that:Hutchins sums up"You arc getting an educationinfinitely better than that whichmy generation, the generationthat now rules the world, hadopen to it. You have had thechance to discern the purposes ofhuman life and human society.Your predecessors in this place.nowT scattered all over the world,give us some warrant for hopingthat as you go out to join themyou will bear with you the samespark that they have carried,which, if carefully tended, mayyet become the light that shall il¬luminate the world. I shall alwaysbe proud to have been amongyou.”His conviction that undergrad¬uate education was one and thesame with general education didnot falter.The University began tosearch for a successor. The selec¬tion committee, composed of fivefaculty members and five trus¬tees. rapidly found a new Chan¬cellor right in their midst Law¬rence A. Kimpton.Except for a three year periodas Dean of students at Stanford,Kimpton had been witli the Uni¬versity since 1942, serving aschief University administrator ofthe Manhattan project, as secre¬tary of the faculties. Dean of stu¬dents, Dean of the faculties, vicepresident in charge of development, and as one of Hutchins'bright young men.Continuing a tradition of youngChancellors, Kimpton was butforty at. the time of his appoint¬ment. The problems confrontinghim were immense.Problems confronting LAK“We were operating on abudget that made the fiscal im¬balance. of the Federal Govern¬ment look like solvency,” he oncesaid in describing his early days.“We were living in a neighbor¬hood which was fast becoming alaboratory for our School of So¬cial Service administration. Wehad a College that, with all itsgenius, was frozen into a patternalienating it from the rest of theUniversity and indeed from therest of the educational world.“We had some strong divisions,but we had some weak ones too.Most of our professional schoolswere almost at the point wherethey could have closed their doorsand nobody would have knownthe difference. And we had abuilt-in arrogance that overstatedthe good and blurred or ignoredthe bad.“Perhaps our greatest problemwas this mysterious entity known as public relations. The liberalsregarded us as fascists and theconservatives thought of us ascommunists. High schoolsthought us odd, colleges thoughtus arrogant, and our sister insti¬tutions thought us incomprehen¬sible. There was unanimity ononly one point nobody proposedto give us any money.”First off, Kimpton turned hisattention to raising money. UnderHutchins, UC was rapidly becom¬ing bankrupt. “You have no ideaof the charitable instincts of ourneighbors,” Hutchins once com¬plained, “and how uncontrollablethey are. “Unfortunately these in-stinets have just been exercisedto the full immediately before myarrival. It is as though thewealthy men of Chicago lookedout the window and said. ‘Herecomes Robert Hutchins. I mustgive all my money to the Salvation army before he gets here.’"Budget balancedKimpton’s success here was in¬disputable. By his second year inoffice he was able to construct abalanced budget. The endowmentincreased significantly and Chi¬cago returned to a state of mod¬erate solvency. However, “thebetter the institution the brokerit is, and, as a result UC is mag¬nificently hard up.” the Chancellor once explained. “I hope wealways are. because this meansthat we are spending ali themoney we can get our hands onand then some to keep our re¬search and teaching program atthe forefront.”The second area to which Kimp- all colleges refused to regard itas anything but a junior collegedegree and required two extrayears of specialized education be¬fore admitting UC alumni to grad¬uate school.A new College committee,chaired by Emery Filbey, was es¬tablished; it reported in April of1953. The committee urged thatthe power to grant the BA be re¬moved from the college, and that,in the future. Bachelor’s degreesbe granted jointly by the Collegeand the divisions. Both facultybodies would have a hand in shap¬ing the undergraduate curriculumand degree requirements.Action and reactionThis action was urged, accord¬ing to Filbey, "not because thecollege proved unpopular, or because the College program wasundesirable; but University sim¬ply could not finance the (old*program on the number of stu¬dents it attracted.”The report met some oppositionin the faculty. Washburn arguedthat the College had pioneered inacceleration, but would now be¬come a university of deaccelera¬tion. Grodzins felt that the pro¬posal would destroy what wasrecognized to be “the best col¬lege in the United States.” Butin ’53. the Council of the Univer¬sity Senate approved the joint-degree plan by a vote of 38 to 4.Opposition occurred also in thestudent body which staged a se¬ries of demonstrations in front ofthe administration huikling andon tlie Chancellor's lawn. Signsbearing such legends as “Give us the Committee report In Its his¬torical perspective and justifiesthe move being proposed.” •But the conviction grew on cam¬pus that this joint-degree struc¬ture was not the best means toeffect this new educational end.No person or group was respon¬sible for such generic educationalproblems as the relations of gen¬eral and specialized education,special programs for superiorstudents, unifying baccalaureateexaminations, the development ofwriting ability beyond thatachieved in the required coursein composition, and the rules forawarding degrees and honors.Most students had to have twoadvisors, one in the College andone in the divisions. This pro¬duced great confusion when thetwo advisors advised the studentin diametrically opposed ways, asfrequently happened.“Since 1953 the average UC stu¬dent has taken only 8.5 compre-hensives. while placing out ofonly one and a half,” according toDean Streeter. “Thus, he has fourcourses for which he has neitherplacement nor comprehensivecredit. It’s very difficult to main¬tain a balanced program withthese conditions.”The four courses the averagestudent didn’t take usually turnedout to be the “terminal courses”such as history and philosophy,the keystones of the general edu¬cation arch.So, in April of 1957, the coun¬cil of the senate authorized cre¬ation of the Executive Committeeon Undergraduate EducationOnly the scenery is constant.ton turned his attention was thedeterioration of Hyde Park. Un¬der Hutchins, the attempt to con¬serve the neighborhood was littlemore than an invocation of re¬strictive covenants. Kimptonchanged this.With an almost total policy re¬versal, the University committeditself to the process of urban re¬newal; slum clearance and recon¬struction projects were advanced.The South East Chicago commis¬sion was created as a mechanismto a partial solution.The New CollegeOnly after this was there timeto review the Bachelor’s program.In 1953 enrollment in the Col¬lege sank to a mere 1,159, ofwhom only 212 were in their firstor second year. Part of this de¬crease can be explained by refer¬ence to deterioration of the neigh¬borhood, lack of dorm facilities,and a reputation for political extremism. A special eommitte onenrollment reported that “a tend¬ency to stress certain feats ofintellectual precocity at the Uni¬versity has in the past contributedto the impression, that only themost talented students shouldconsider going to the University. ’They suggested that greateremphasis be placed upon the op¬portunities offered by Chicago toall satisfactory students.Another reason, one not men¬tioned in the report, was the dif¬ficulty Chicago was experiencingin convincing prospective stu¬dents t h a t a general educationwas enough. Young scientistswanted to work in science. More¬over, the College designed forearly entrance was always popu¬lated principally by high schoolgraduates. Students with a 12thgrade certificate were expected tocomplete college work in twoyears; very few did.In addition, the BA awarded bythe College proved almost worth¬less in the outside world. Almost back our college,” “We want aneducation,” and, most simply,“Reconsider,” appeared every¬where.An autonomous unit of the Uni¬versity is legally one whichawards degrees. Desiring to main¬tain its autonomy, the Collegecreated’the tutorial program, onewhich combined three years ofgeneral education (the fourteencomprehensivcs) a n d a lengthyresearch paper. Few studentswere registered for this, hut itpreserved the autonomy of theCollege.“The itinerant scholar has beena stock figure since the dawn oflearning, but at Chicago even thedegrees are peripatetic,” com¬mented Robert Streeter. Streeterwas Dean of the College duringfive years of its six year history.Depending upon their field ofspecialization. College studentswere now held to mixed curricu¬lum of comprehensive* and di¬visional specialized courses. In thephysical sciences a student tookbut 6 comps, while the biologicalsciences called for 12 College gen¬eral education courses. A fewother degree programs skirted theperiphery of the catalogue.It would be a mistake, however,to regard this change as beingmerely the result of externalpressures. It was motivated alsoby a dissatisfaction with Hutch¬ins’ definition of the “educatedman.”Kimpton justifies reportIr. giving his approval to theinitial Filbey committee plan,Kimpton had expressed this dis¬satisfaction. “The report does notsay the College is not good. Rec¬ognizing that the College has at¬tained its major goal, the reportrecommends that we now take thenext forward step and integrategeneral education and specializedtraining, one of the most impor¬tant problems of American edu- jcation. To my mind, this places |_(ECUE). This body was to exer¬cise “general supervision of allundergraduate programs, with re¬spect to the detailed elaborationof policy.”Authority given to ECUEThe council delegated to it au¬thority “. . . to initiate programadjustments, establish schedulesfor program revisions, approvenew programs, resolve conflicts,and in general act upon the prob¬lems of undergraduate education.Early in its proceedings the ECUE group rejected the idea ofmaintaining the joint-degree pro¬gram.The basic decisions made in theECUE report, reeeived In thespring of 1958, consisted of twomajor revisions in the structureof the College.The BA degree was returned tothe College; joint degree pro¬grams were no longer available toentering students. The collegewould now offer and control thespecialized courses which wereformerly the province of the divi¬sional faculties. To do this theCollege needed to expand its fac¬ulty in size and experience; manymembers of the divisional facul¬ties were asked to join the col¬lege faculty and participate in col¬legiate instruction.Once again, the College alonedetermines the standards forawarding the Bachelor of arts de¬gree.The second major point ofchange concerned the <*urricu!um.“The pattern of study leading tothe degree of bachelor of art*should consist of two years ofgeneral education, one year ofwork In a single area of concen¬tration and one year of free andguided electives.”Kimpton’s theory of education,that the educated man needed theexperience of scholarship and re¬search, was not changed. The newprogram, rather, strived for abetter mechanism for achievingthat experience.The college was not awardedsole authority over the BS, however, and here the program calledfor equal amounts of specializedand non-speeializod work. Noroom could be found here for freeeliectives.“Prior to this,” stated an ECUEadherent, “students had been tak¬ing two years of liberal arts workin a program designed to lastthree and a half years. The newprogram is expressly designed tolast two years.”Program basically the sameIn many respects this is a re¬turn to the old Hutchins program.While it never worked out to besuch, the undergraduate curricu¬lum was always intended to be atwo year program leading to athree year masters. Now we havea four year bachelor’s degreeleading to a one year masters.The nature and proportion of thecourses taken within these pro¬grams remains essentially thesame.This New College could not bnachieved at once. The facultyneeded a year to prepare the eur-(Continued on p*f« 22)Kimpton's last convocation — June, 1960.Curriculum changes as Simpson proceedsi Continued from pog4 21)rictiltim, and the administrationneeded time to find a Dean to runthe New College.During the year the fourteenone year comprehensive courseswere reduced, by one means oranother, to 29 one quarter courses.Students were expected to placeout of at least five of these 29units.Certain problems Involved inthis wholesale restructuring havenot yet been fully solved: espe¬cially constructing comprehensiveexaminations for the new and lessorderly curriculum, but the facul¬ty has remained satisfied with theprogram it has created.Simpson assumes officeA new dean was found in theperson of Alan Simpson, an Eng¬lish historian from England whohad been on the faculty since1946. He assumed office in thespring of ’59.In his 1958 State of the Univer¬sity address, Kimpton pointed outthat the old Old College was onedivorced from the University.“The council action of 1953 (Jointdegree program) did have the vir¬tue of reassociating the two, butupon an arm’s-length, hostile, ne¬gotiating basis. It was out of thegeneral dissatisfaction with thisloose juxtaposition of courses,standards, and even objectivesthat the council called for forma¬tion of the ECUE committee.”The recommendation of thiscommittee, Kimpton argued, "wasa good one, for the excellent rea¬son that it really pleased nobodyand none of the parties at issuewon a battle.”"We have asked ourselves ifbeauty and brawn do not deservea place on our campus as well asbrains,” said Simpson in his firstpress release. "The idea is not tolower our standards, but to at¬tract a greater variety of Amer¬ icans who are qualified to meetthem. The ordinary Americanboy, who will only make a mil¬lion .in later life, the ordinaryAmerican girl, who wants a hus¬band as well as a diploma, are aswelcome here as the quiz kid."And we intend to make themhappy.”An extension of this viewprompted Simpson this summerto announce the revival of thelong dormant idea of a residentialcollege. Harper had hoped forsuch a college. Hutchins desiredmuch the same. Burton-Judsonwas intended to be the beginningof a series of undergraduate resi¬dence houses, but this plan wasinterrupted first by the depres¬sion and secondly by the war.The over all life of the studentcommunity is directly involved inthe educational process, accord¬ing to Simpson. "We intend tomake that life as profitable aspossible.”Other changes have continuedto occur in the undergraduateprogram; additional ones are ex¬pected.New courses addedNon-western history courseshave been added to the collegecurriculum; music and art vari¬ants of the third year humanitiessequence are now fully estab¬lished. Experiments have beenperformed on counting quarterlygrades as grades of record.Comprehensives might be elim¬inated and replaced by area ex¬aminations (as existed in thethirties) or then, comprehensivesmight simply be eliminated.The early entrant programseems to be withering to death.OMP, the philosophy course, hasbeen eliminated from the collegerequirements."Last spring, Lawrence Kimp¬ton, announcing that he felt hehad completed that which hecould best do, announced his in¬tention to resign as Chancellor of the University. Only a few weeksago he moved out of the Chancel¬lor's office, for good."Our College had the best-con¬ceived undergraduate educationin the country, but its lack of ar¬ticulation with the basic structureof American education has cre¬ated a number of difficulties,”Kimpton explained in his resig¬nation statement. “It also tendedto be isolated from the rest of theUniversity. The College has beenreorganized in a series of gradualsteps, so that it is now better re¬lated within and without the Uni¬versity, without sacrifice of itsunique educational elements.”Earlier in (lie year he had stat¬ed liis confidence thus: “How willbe put together our dedication toresearch with gifted and enthusi¬astic undergraduate teaching? Atleast the organizational pattern iscorrect; the rest is Dean Simp¬son’s problem and the College fac¬ulty’s responsibility.”And so we are entering a newera. Kimpton’s departure will butlittle influence the immediatetenor of that era. We have movedfrom the old College, through theNew College to the day of thenewest College. There is no doubtthat it will last for some time;there is no doubt that somedaythe young revolutionaries of the faculty will overturn this struc¬ture and establish a new one inthe continuing search for the "ed¬ucated man” and the curriculumwhich can produce that man."Our community is not onlyone of homes and streets andshops,” Kimpton said in 1958, "farmore important, it is a communi¬ty of scholars dedicated to thelife of the mind. And this com¬munity too has had its plan, itsdemolition, its rehabilitation. Overthe past years we have devotedourselves to the critical examina¬tion of our academic constructionand have found it inadequate.New from old'There followed a period ofplanning, wtih its-excitement andinnovation, and then the dreary,dusty task of pulling down theold to create foundations for thenew."Now we arc starting to re¬build. I hope you share my pridein these new and promising struc¬tures as they arise. They havebeen thoughtfully planned, andthey arise out of periods of deepdiscouragement, when all seemedlost save the courage of our Uni¬versity. Those who build discoverthat final cost goes far beyondinitial estimate, both in moneyand in the agony of delay andcompromise. "But, as the new buildings rise,the analogy ends. No academicstructures will ever be built whichwill long satisfy the dreams andaspirations of our University.”Simpson tells college roleThe best colleges have two missions.One is to furnish society with the educatedtalent it needs, by giving a liberal educationto the teachers, scientists, doctors, lawyers,businessmen, politicians, housewives, andcitizens of tomorrow.Tills is a training in character, competence, taste,and rational enjoyment. It presupposes standards;it assumes that we know where we are going; itImplies an establishment within which most of nswill find our niche; it knows that nearly all therebels of twenty will be conformists at thirty andIs not at all worried by the prospect.To expect otherwise wrould be to suppose thatsociety can survive without coherence, and thatindividuals arc far more original than wo knowthem to be. A framework of accepted things is anecessary condition for anybody’s happiness, andthe plays of Shakespeare are a sufficient reminder of the possibilities of human nature which areindependent cf any criticism of society.The second mission of a good college is to shelterand nourish the real originals; to stem the flood oforthodoxy; to tolerate the nonsense which is in-seperable from creativity; to hold an open door forthe unexpected idea. Universities, throughout theirhistory, have found the first mission a whole loteasier than the second. But a civilization which isleaping into the unknown is demanding much moreof them.An education at Chicago can be an adventure ineither field. The future conformists will only reachtheir intelligent conformity through a vivid exami¬nation of the beliefs they now hold. The would-beoriginals are offered every hospitality but they arewarned that St. Peter had more to recommend himthan a beard.Alan SimpsonNetherton extends welcomeDean Piaye collect- garbage at George Williams campduring O-week. Once again an Autumnquarter sees the arrival ofsome two thousand new stu¬dents on the Quadrangles.Well over half of your num¬ber have completed under¬graduate careers elsewhere, andcome to the University for ad¬vanced study. New graduate stu¬dents will find challenge in theacademic work of the Divisionsand Schools; and for leisure time—of which it is to be hoped thatyou will arrange some reasonableamount—an environment rich inopportunities for intellectual andesthetic pleasure.There is also the undergradu¬ate. Comparable academic chal¬lenge and the identical environ¬ mental richness are fully avail¬able for him. The Chicago tradi¬tion by which we speak of him atthe beginning as a first-year stu¬dent, later as a second-year stu¬dent, and so on, successively, isnot to my knowledge ever intend¬ed to obscure the fact that the un¬dergraduate is indeed not a grad¬uate, that through the fault oftime and none of his own he hasnot yet had the total educationalexperience, curricular and other,implied by the BA or the BS ofa leading American college; andthat he has come to Chicago pre¬cisely to acquire that total experi¬ence. By the time this is read, en¬tering undergraduates will haveheard Dean Simpson’s address onUC General education program continuesas New College becomes establishedThe New College is but one yearold at this time; a full evaluationof its excellencies and deficiencieswill not be possible until its firstgraduates emerge three yearsfrom now. However, at this timewe wish to reiterate our supportof the basic concept of this new¬est of the Bachelor’s programs.The old Hutchins College, con¬sisting simply and totally of four¬teen full year general educationcourses, was a magnificent exam¬ple of a liberal arts curriculum.No one has ever denied that itachieved its goals: to produce stu¬dents with the best general edu¬cation conceivable. But this pro¬gram had its flaws; they werenot philosophical or theoretical,but quite practical.The old BA was intended to be a two year program. Studentswere expected to go on for athree year masters program. Thiscontrasted with the normalAmerican pattern of a four yearBA and one year MA, but took nomore time. Unfortunately, it wasa rare student who could com¬plete his college work in the ex¬pected two years; students wereneeding six and even seven yearsfor their masters degree.Moreover, those disciplineswhich require numerous coursesto be taken in sequence did notlend themselves to this program.It was most difficult for a would-be scientist to participate in theChicago general education pro¬gram.And so, the joint degree pro¬gram was instituted. Under this plan, few students were still heldfor all the fourteen comprehen¬sive courses and were allowed tobegin specialized work while un¬dergraduates; we returned to afour year college curriculum.This plan was far from perfect.By the arbitrary elimination ofsome of the fourteen courses theentire program was distorted. In¬tegration and unification wereimpossible when the curriculumcommittees never know if a stu¬dent would take the terminalcourse in a three year sequenceor the integration courses whichwere intended to “cap” the entirecurriculum.Anti so Ihe whole of Ihe Collegewas reviewed, and the generaleducation n^-tien was revved tofit into a two year period. Once again the 1 i b e r al arts could betaught in a constructed and de¬signed program capable of overallrefinement.We speak only of the curricu¬lum. Some of the non-academicaspects of the New College strikeus as sheer and total nonsense.Nor do we assert the perfeqtionof the curriculum, there are stillmany academic ameliorationswhich are desirable, specificallyin the area of placement, mitiga-t:on and comprehensive examina¬tion.However, we can and do re¬spect the educational excellenciesof the New College, regarding itas a return to a reasonable, ra¬tional and artfully designed pro¬gram containing the host possiblesort of general education. the curricular experience whichawaits them, and talks by mem¬bers of my staff on various as¬pects of the extracurriculum.Beyond this, the elected headsof seventeen major student or¬ganizations — Student Govern¬ment (in which undergraduateshave proportional minority repre¬sentation), the publications andRadio Midway, IFC and Inter¬club, Burton Judson and Inter¬dorm Councils, Blackfriars,FOTA, UT and the honoraries andservice groups — are concludingtoday a three-day conference inwhich they will have considered,among many other matters, therole of the entering student intheir several organizations. I sug¬gest that you give careful con¬sideration to this same subjectfrom the point of view of yourown interests and expectations.It is perhaps not sufficientlyknown that about ten per eent ofour total student population con¬sists of foreign students. The Uni¬versity is an important center ofinternational education. I shouldlike to extend particular welcometo our new students from abroad,and hope that I will be secondedin this, in the deed as well as theword, by interested American stu¬dents. In my view, it is not somuch a matter of hospitality —which is of course important —as of educational opportunity forall concerned.The student services which theUniversity provides for all stu¬dents through my office are fullydescribed in the Student Hand¬book; I invite you to make fulluse of them.A warm welcome to all new stu¬dents, and best wishes for suc¬cess and enjoyment in the yearahead.JOHN P. NETHERTON22 CHICAGO MAROON Sept. 30, 1960Theatre's future“The function of Universitytheatre or any progressivetheatre is to provide emo¬tional and intellectual stimula¬tion; an exploration of thegreat minds reflecting thethought and trends of their timestheatre-wise; an interpretation ofthe best in theatre past orpresent.”Marvin Phillips, who arrived asdirector of University theatre in1954 and who departed this sum¬mer for different parts, releasedthis manifesto shortly after hisappointment.Under Phillips the theatre fol¬lowed this platform closely; inthe past six years it has presentedsuch shows as "Yerma" by GarciaLore a, “The Dark Is LightEnough’' by Christopher Fry,“Galileo” by Brecht, “Lea ParentsTerribles” by Cocteau, “The En¬chanted” and “EJectra” by Gira¬don x and numerous scripts au¬thored by Shakespeare and Mo-lien*.Yet, while this raison d’etremight well be assumed a univer¬sal statement of purpose for aileducational theatres, it constitut¬ed an innovation in UC theatre. quite active, the group did notattempt one Shakesperian show.The dramatic club, meanwhile,had fallen on evil days. By 1920its coffers were nearly empty.The campus, apparently, had littleinterest in supporting experimen¬tal drama. In 1921 the organiza¬tion released this statemerj;“This has been the ai*H of theadministration for the last fewyears — a club composed, not ofa few queer, temperamental peo¬ple with Tolstoi and Ibsen closeto their hearts, but an organiza¬tion representative of the collegeand interested in producing playsthat college people can enjoywithout too much expenditure ofgrey matter. ... It is simply arecognition of the fact that dramais a thing of the emotion and notof the intellect. . . . There is muchto be said for the theatre-goerwho checks his brains at the doorwith his overcoat.”But despite this sterling state¬ment, and despite its policy ofpresenting popular plays, by 1922the treasury showed a totalwealth of $1.53.Finally in 1923 the club was re¬formed into the UC Dramatic As¬sociation (DA).Lance Haddix stars in'The Dark Is Light Enough,'a 1957 UT production.“The New Cosmogony,” a stu¬dent-written farce produced onAcademic Day, 1895, was the firstpresentation of the original Uni¬versity of Chica.go Dramatic club.A tradition quickly developedof staging large productions onJunior day — whatever that was— for the benefit of academic so¬cialites in frilly white.But the club did not operate ina clear field for long. In 1901 theOpera Comique presented “MissFlim Flam.” Both flopped. Otherclubs arose. The Green Hall Dra¬matic club and the Foster HallDramatic club, organizations dedi¬cated to the production of playswritten by members of theirdorms, grew up — and quicklydied.Effort to surviveThe Green group made a lastconcerted effort to survive withits production of “The Tempest”in 190-1, but all-girl plays were adying cause.In 1901 the Dramatic club ac¬quired a professional coach, A.Stanley Dawes. Although he dieda year later, the idea survived.The club grew in size, scope andambition.Two new theatre groups wereformed in 1909 — another all-girlgroup, The Green Room, andSock and Buskin, a club limitedVO the women of the philosophycollege. Blackfriars, meanwhile,had established itself as an all-male musical comedy organiza¬tion.Special clubs with special mem¬berships played plays in their spe¬cial field. The classics people didshows in Latin, the Romance peo¬ple romped in French, and theGermans, were outdone by no one.The Masquers, composed of un¬derclass women, was organizedin 1916 to celebrate the Shake¬speare Tercentennial; though The DA was successful in amal¬gamating many of the splintertheatre groups under one title, ifnot a common ideology. In 1925Portfolio, a group originally con¬nected with the Women’s AthleticAssociation, dedicated to the pro¬duction of one revue per year, dis¬solved. The Mirror was foundeda year later to replace Portfolio,and later became one of the DA‘sbiggest annual efforts.With the advent of Hutchinsthe DA began to move towardsthe experimental and the intellec¬tual. But slowly. Occasional ex¬perimentation was carried togreat lengths. Frank O’Hara, thetheatre’s full time director, andno lover of the avant garde, oncestaged a play called “Poor OleBoy” with a cast of stage tech¬nicians and a stage crew of bud¬ding young actors.''The Long Christmas Dinner''In ’32 the group presented theworld premiere of ThorntonWilde’s now famous “The LongChristmas Dinner,”But the inevitable conflict be¬tween the theatrical experimenta-tors and the “popularists” aroseagain in 1937. Director O’Haraquit, stating that he wanted noth¬ing to do with “experimental the¬atre interesting only to stageaspirants.” He wanted "theatrefor everyone.”In ’39 DA surrendered, “morechastened and democratized.”When the war began, theatre ef¬fectively ceased. By '46, UC*s the¬atre fragmented into many littleorganizations, each fighting forits place in the spot lightFrom this conflict, two groupsemerged; one was University the¬atre, a group generally given toserious plays which had failed onBroadway. (Blackfriars, inciden¬tally, was totally quiescent.)Loose organizationThe director of Ut from 19-18to 1953 was George Blair. Thestructure of the organization wassimilar to today’s — a loose esso- looms bright enoughciation run by a benevolent dic¬tator with a board of student di¬rectors whose prime functionsrange from the production of ex¬perimental plays to calling theannual meeting to elect the newboard. (The latter has been themost consistent of the board’scompleted duties.)Tonight at 8:30 was a some¬what different group, a bodygiven to obscure one act playsand improvisations. This associa¬tion suffered a rapid demise whenone of the deans around andabout discovered that practicallynone of the “8:30” members werestudents, most of them were liv¬ing in the theatre’s offices andthat the treasurer had just ab¬sconded to Mexico with the totalbox office revenues from the lastproduction.Tonight at 8:30The remnants of Tonight at8:30 later formed the highly suc¬cessful Playwrights Theater onthe Near North side. UT latertook over the function of Tonightat 8:30 (producing unusual one-acters ) and later its name.In 1954 Marv Phillips arrived.Now leaving the campus for new,and possibly better things, Phil¬lips explained his career herethus: “I saw a need in Hyde Parkfor a community theatre and havetried to fill part of that needthrough University theatre.”During his first year as UT di¬rector, Phillips began Court the¬atre, the summer-long season ofoutdoor drama.Court theatre Is distinct fromUniversity theatre in that tryouts are open to anyone In Chicago.Performances are given in three-quarter round — in Hutchinsoncourt in decent weather, in Man-del hall when it rains. In its firstseason Court presented four ofMoliere’s comedies, two of whichwere translated by the stage man¬ager of the Playwright’s theater,Dick d’Anjou. d’Anjou later be¬came assistant director of UT.In addition to importing guestdirectors, UT also began the pol¬icy of importing an occasionalprofessional production. In thelast three years UC has seen off-Broadway companies perform“End Game,” “Playboy of theWestern World,” and “USA” byJohn Dos Passos.According to Phillips the pres¬ent theatre set-up is in manyways more valuable than ever be¬fore. The group has three verydifferent stage areas — Mandelhall, the court, and the tiny Reyn¬olds dub theatre. The miniscularsize of the Reynolds club stage(the auditorium only seats 150)is used to advantage in the pre¬sentation of intimate theatricalproductions.Longer runsThe size also enables the groupto present plays for longer runs.Phillips also revived the To¬night at 8:30 Idea. Early in winterquarter UT presents two pro¬grams of off-beat student pro¬duced, student directed plays.These programs have included adramatization of Salinger's shortstory “Zooey,” Ionesco’s “TheBald Soprano," Cocteau’s “The In¬ fernal Machine,” and a number oforiginals.Last year UT presented twofull length originals, plays whichhad won the biannual Sergei dra¬ma competition. “There is a cry¬ing need for the production oforiginals,” Phillips explained, “be¬cause of their experimental na¬ture, because they need to bedone, because many will be en¬tirely lost if not performed, wetried a season of originals, a sea¬son of premieres.Originals exciting“There is something very excit¬ing about working on a play thathas never been performed be¬fore.”This summer, Court theaterpresented another typical selec¬tion of scripts: “Henry VIII” byShakespeare, “Scapin” by Moli-ere, and “Oedipus Rex” by Sopho¬cles. The Moliere show will berecreated this week as UTs firstoffering of the year.An almost total turnover ofpersonnel occurred during thesummer. After six years at theUniversity, Phillips decided to de¬part. Dick d’Anjou accepted a Ful-brijeht and is now in France study¬ing the theatre ut Becket andIonesco.No one is quite sure what di¬rection the theatre will take un¬der the temporary guidance ofguest director Bill Alton, butthere is little doubt that UT willcontinue to take itself quite se¬riously, and continue in its ef¬forts to create sound theater in aneducational, educated community.'Midst hairy, co-ordinatedlegs, Blackfriars is bornAs the hairy, but well co-ordinated, legs of the chorus kicked open the Mandel hall cuistain and the lights went up on the first act of “The Passing of Phali Kahn.” Blackfriarswas born. This was in 1904. For many years afterwards, the all-male musical comedygroup was the biggest extracurricular activity on campus.One of the first of the collegiate musical groups in the country, Blackfriars attracted anaudience from all over Chicago. Opening nights were formal affairs with a red carpet rolledout from the Mandel door for thebenefit of tuxedoed ticket holders.The budget for the annual springshow was in the tens of thou¬sands of dollars.ALL OF THIS was in the daysbefore the depression, before thesecond world war, and beforeapathy. Control of this organiza¬tion became the biggest prize inthe regular fraternity battle forcampus power and prestige. Asa result, no difficulty was experi¬enced in the search for enoughmen to fill out the chorus line.An old Blackfiars programstates it thus: In May, 1904, thefirst show was given. The “King’sKalender Keeper” followed thenext year and made up most ofthe money lost on the first pro¬duction . . .“The Maroon in those days hadno distinguished dramatic criticsand the reporter who recordedthe event gave unstinted praise.”In any case, Blackfriars con¬tinued with a show each seasonuntil 1942 (with the exception ofthe 1918 school year.) Always al¬literative, if not always literate,the group staged such classics as“Sure Enough Segragation,” “TheLyrical Liar,” “Pseudo Psuffra-g e 11 e s,” “Capturing Calypso,”“The Pranks of Paprika," “ARhenish Romance,” and “A Mythin Mandel.”A great break with traditionoccurred in 1952 when womenfirst appeared in a Friars show.With a multitude of eligible ac¬tors performing at the commandof Hie army, there was no choicebut to combine forces with TheMirror, an all girl musical reviewgroup which had formed in thethirties.A second great break with tra¬dition occurred the following yearwhen no show appeared at alLBlackfriars remained a quies¬cent campus tradition until 1956.In that year it was noted that theold organization still had a siz¬able amount of its money in thebank—money that no one couldspend but Blackfriars. The first post-war show, thus,was a brief review presented atthat year’s Beaux Arts ball.A full length show, “GammaDelta Iota,” was presented on theMandel stage in the spring of ’57.Concerned with conflicts of in¬terests existing between a pro¬football fraternity, Omicron Al¬pha Phi (abbreviated OA(l)F,and an intellectual girls’ clubGamma Delta Iota (-standing for,“I don’t give a damn”), the showwas a campus celebration and aGDI girls* club contained realcritical catastrophy.Most Important, however, thegirls.These responsible for revivingBlackfriars originally hoped toresurrect The Mirror, but thiswas abandoned when it was rea¬lized how much work was in¬volved in one musical production.“Alpha Centauri,” one of thevery first “space” musicals, fol¬lowed in ’58. “Sour Mash” was the1959 entry, and “Silver Bells andCockle Shells,” a show based ona Hollywood theme, was the lastand latest of the productions. A FURTHER DEPARTUREfrom the traditional occurred inthe last Blackfriars electionswhen the organization elected itsfirst female head officer, MissAbbie Sheldon.Her first official announcementwas to present plans for two offlcampus showing of the 1961Blackfriars show. Following thisshe issued a demand that scriptsfor the forthcoming show be sub¬mitted by the first day of Sep¬tember, four weeks ago.Rhymed coupletsA number of scripts were actu¬ally submitted on schedule, in¬cluding one in rhymed couplets.A four man selection committeewill announce its decision byOctober 15. The judges are AllanFern, humanities instructor inthe College, Alex Sutherland, di¬rector of educational broadcast¬ing and regular participant in theFaculty Revels show.

There isa third also which has been found tobe a pre-requisite of the other two: con¬vincing the student body that it shouldbe represented, should be served.Therefore, one of the great questionsconfronting SG has been the determinationof the most suitable structure for fulfill¬ing its charges. Many sessions have beenspent assessing the dtie and proper limita¬tions of the Assembly: many hours havebeen devoted to a re-examination and re-evaluation of the structure.Government maintains some “concrete"services for the students. For six yearsthere has been a cooperative Charter flightto Europe during the summer, and lastsummer Student Government organized aflight leaving and returning in a six-weekperiod in addition to the regular three-month flight. The Travel department seeksto save students money on domestic travelby offering Charter bus trips and arrang¬ing for group discounts on railroads dur¬ing interims.In the basement of the Reynolds clubis the student government service center,providing a loan service, book exchange,ticket agency, and laundry service.The Election and Rules committee(E&Ft) is responsible for supervising elec¬tions, examining proposed amendmentsto the basic documents (constitution, By-Laws, Student Bill of Rights), takingcharge of the procedures of resignations,filling vacancies, citing for neglect of duty,etc.The Committee on Recognized Studentorganizations (CORSO) is responsible forthe Student code, which governs all stu¬dent groups, and also investigates chargesof violation of the code.The National Student association com¬mittee informs the campus of the NSApolicies adopted by the National Studentcongress, carries NSA programs and proj¬ects to the campus and represents the stu¬dent of this campus in the national studentmovement. Other committees include theStudvnt - Faculty Relations, the CampusAction and the Community Relations com¬mittees, all of which perform a functionobvious from their names. The govern¬ment is headed by an Executive councilwhich consists of the six committee chair¬men elected by the Assembly and the sec¬retary, treasurer, vice-president, and presi¬dent of the Assembly.Jim Thomason is president of the Gov¬ernment during the coming year. 'Prior to the Second World War Chicagohad an organizational student government;that is. each of the major student activitiessent representatives to the Student coun¬cil. This body withered away during thewar, and shortly after its cessation (1948A million and a quarter studentsare the constituent members of theUnited States National Student asso¬ciation (USNSA). Almost 400 col¬leges and universities are dues-paying* • participants. Well over $1,000,000flows into the NSA treasury during thecourse of a year.While almost every country has anational union of students, USNSA is thebiggest, wealthiest and most influentialstudent union in the world.The association was founded shortlyafter the second world war. Depressed bythe isolationism and parochialism of theAmerican student and impressed with thehope of viable and productive student co¬operation, returning veterans were eagerto effect a functioning American union.Such unions had existed in Europe foryears; mainly of a syndicalist nature, theywere orientated towards student service.The creators of NSA wanted more thanthis; they wanted to cultivate and fosterinternational co - operation, compassion,and understanding.V. The first meeting was held at the Uni¬versity of Chicago during the Christmasvacations of 1946. The Reynolds club wasthe conference site, and the members ofthe constitution committee were electedand mandated in the room now occupiedby University theatre.The constitution of the association waswritten by the summer of ’47 and the con¬stitutional convention was held at the Uni¬versity of Wisconsin that AugustAlthough student reaction was enthu¬siastic and though the number of chartermembers was high, the beginnings ofUSNSA were inauspicious. During i a firstyears the association was paid for solely26 • CHICAGO MAROON group generally considered to be repre¬sentative of the fraternity system and agroup voicing independents’ claims. Oneyear later, both of the original ‘factions’disappeared, and the Independent Studentleague (ISL) became the first organizedpolitical party. Claiming to be interestedprimarily in the “student as a student"and for the first time offering voters anidea of what the government would doduring the year, ISL swept 75 of the 85available government seats.In the elections from 1949 to 1952, ISLsucceeded in confusing its enemies whoseplatforms were never very clear In form.These opposition parties were, to be sure,independent and in favor of reform; theywere not given any overwhelming supportby the campus. Their names were: StudentAssembly Reform coalition (SARC), Non-Partisan Students league (NPSL). and theIndependent coalition (IC).The 1949 election gave 55 seats to ISLand 20 seats to SARC. This Assemblysought to define the purpose of the Gov¬ernment and to establish some rapportwith the UC administration. A “Statute ofPowers” was constructed, establishing SGauthority to recognize and regulate stu¬dent organizations, and creating theStudent-Faculty-Administration court.Even more significantly, the Student Billof Rights was accepted by the studentbody and the administration.In 1950 ISL took 60 out of 65 seats. Itwas here that ISL asserted the principlethat the party in power had the right toestablish the machinery of the Govern¬ment ISL took all seats on the Executivecouncil.Though winning again in ’51, the ISLsweep was none too clean. Dissidentgroups had developed in the party, and byby student dues; it could afford to hirebut one full time officer, and he workedpart time in order to pay for his expenses.Since its inception 14 years ago, how¬ever, NSA has grown in size, in wealth,and in prestige. It is affiliated with everysignificant educational association in thenation. Such individuals as Eleanor Roose¬velt, Ralph Bunche, and Harold Stassenhave served on its advisory board. It playsa most influential role in the InternationalStudent conference.The association, with its full time staffof 37 and its myriad of on-campus studentassistants, serves three principal functions.It is a service organization. It providesinformation, background papers, sugges¬tions. and reports for the individual mem¬ber student governments. It maintainsEducational Travel incorporated, the non¬profit tourist agency which provides thecheapest student European tours available.It publishes a national student newspaper,and a number of publications.It acts as the representative voice of theAmerican student. Each summer the dele¬gates to the national student congress voteupon resolutions and statements of basicpolicy in an effort to formulate the view¬point of the thinking American student.At the ISth Student Congress, held thissummer at the University of Minneapolis,it expressed statements on subjects rang¬ing from the southern “sit-ins" to theCuban revolution. This representative roleis accepted by the professional educationalassociations with which NSA works.It serves as an educational mechanismfor bringing information about these keyissues on which it comments to the atten¬tion of the average student. It providesstudent governments and newspapers with• Sept. 30# 1960 narrow one: 25 seats to SRP, 21 to ISLand three to the Independent Coalition.ISL rallied in ’53, defeating SRP 29 to14. Discrimination, a question that reareditself for the first time the year beforebecame a burning issue when a bill calledthe Michigan Plan" was introduced. Thisplan, passed in 1952, resolved to withdrawrecognition from any student organiza¬tion which failed to remove any discrimi¬natory clause from its constitution by acertain date.In 1954 ISL won its most decisive vic¬tory by sweeping 42 seats to SRP’s 3. SRPbounced back in ’55, however, winning bya slim 26-24 margin. ’55 was a rather graveyear for student government: four differ¬ent students held the post of SG president,and “abolish SG” feeling was at its height.In the 1956-57 elections, ISL swept thestories, research work, and backgroundinformation of such questions.More information about the substantivepositions taken by USNSA can be foundin the story on this last student congressprinted on page ??.Each member school sends one to sevendelegates-to the congress, depending uponthe size of its enrollment. Delegates areselected either by the campus at large, orby ti-e student governmentNSA is totally student run, for thesestudent delegates determine all NSA pol¬icy. Further, they elect the officers. Tobe eligible for election, a candidate mustbe a student. No one can be an officer formore than two years. These measureswere enacted to ensure that the associa¬tion never fell into the hands of profes¬sional students. As a result, the entire staffIs in its early twenties.There are five elected officers: a presi¬dent and four vice-presidents. Each officerhas his own staff and his own specificfunctions. The national affairs commis¬sion, for example, has a staff of 16 and anannual budget of $110,000. (Officers’ sal¬aries are only $2,500-$3,000.)Each member school is assigned to oneof 21 geographical regions. Each regioncarries out its own regional programmingand elects its own regional officers. Thechairmen of each region (and the vice-chairmen in these regions having morethan 40,000 members students) form theNational Executive committee (NEC).The NEC formulates interim policy, be¬tween meetings of the congress.Chicago belongs to the Illinois-Wiscon¬sin region, which is the second largest inthe association.

These pagescontain the story behind thiseffort, which today continuesto involve thousands of peopleand millions of dollars.by Ken PierceTen years ago. Hyde Park-Kenwood was a communityliving in fear. Residents ofthis Southeast Chicago com¬munity, which houses the Univer¬sity of Chicago, feared that theirneighborhood would soon becomea part of the "Negro ghetto"which surrounded Hyde Park-Kenwood to the north, south andwest—a fear based on the spreadof blighted areas within the com¬munity, reports of an increase inthe already high crime rate, andapartment house overcrowding.Drastic lowering of propertyvalues that had accompanied Ne¬gro occupancy of formerly all-white neighborhoods in other sec¬tions of the city was anothercause of concern to residents ofHyde Park-Kenwood, as they ob¬served the rising number of theirNegro neighbors in 1949.Today, crime in the area hasbeen reduced 50 per cent, an esti¬mated $150 million will be spenton building construction and im¬provement over the next five orsix years, the community’s popu¬lation has been stabilized, and,although the area's Negro popu¬lation has risen to 37 per cent,current property values are ashigh or higher than 1950 evalua¬tions.In the problem-solving yearssince 1949, the 55,000 area resi¬dents discovered something intheir backyards of even greatersignificance than the bulldozersand steam shovels which are lo¬cated there now. Interwoven withthe story of Hyde Park-Kenwoodmeeting its problems is the storyof the birth of a community—acommunity which was already 98years old in 1950.It began with a meetingIn November 1949, a meetingwas held in the First UnitarianChurch on 57th street, only oneblock away from Mandel hall,scene of another historic neigh¬borhood meeting in 1952. This1949 meeting, inspired by the57th street Society of Friends (aQuaker group), reflected thegrowing concern of area residentsover their future in Hyde Park.Leslie Pennington, minister ofthe First Unitarian Church andchairman of the meeting, ad¬dressed a group of 40, includingUC faculty members, and mem¬bers of existing groups whichwere interested in the neighbor¬hood's future:‘ White people have been leav¬ing peripheral areas such as thesein droves, and their place hasbeen taken by Negroes whoseneed for housing has been encour¬aging exploitation and changes inthe use of property. . . . Our jobtonight is to decide what we in¬tend to do."A crucial neighborhood prob¬lem was introduced by OscarBrown, a Negro, attorney andformer manager of several hous¬ing projects, who said: "If whitepeople would just stay put whena Negro family moves into ablock, there wouldn’t be any panicand Negroes couldn't take overall the buildings. No one forceswhite people to sell.”After a discussion of this andother neighborhood problems,such as overcrowding, crime, andschools, this group agreed to havefurther meetings. These meetingsattracted hundreds of people, andled to the creation of the HydePark-Kenwood Community Con¬ference (HPKCC) in February,1950.The HPKCC stood "for basichuman rights, among them therights of all persons . . . irrespec¬tive of race, creed, or national Park a cis rebornorigin, peacefully and lawfully tobargain for, rent, buy and occupyliving space, to entertain guestsin their homes, and to travel inour community unmolested.’’Because of its early dedicationto community wide understand¬ing and improvement, the HPKCCdid not restrict itself to a limitednumber of issues. In working to¬wards this general interest andunderstanding the Conference de¬veloped the idea of “blockgroups."Although tlvese meetings ofneighbors were instituted to re¬solve such localized problems aslighting and street cleaning, aswell as to dissolve inter-racialtension, they were later to proveinvaluable during the final plan¬ning stages of Ilyde Park-Ken¬wood redevelopment."The ‘intellectual godfather’ ofthe block groups was Herb The-len," explains Irving Horwitz, co-chairman of the Conference plan¬ning committee, and longtimeConference member. "The actualboundaries of the block groupsdepended on each particular loca¬tion’s population density,” saysHorwitz.‘‘They operated in variousways. For example, in one blockgroup, when that section’s firstNegro family moved in and peo¬ple began panicking, the familywas invited to the next blockmeeting. When you ask a neigh¬bor to sign a petition or helpsweep streets or plant gardens,people recognize each other asindividuals."In the beginning, most of ourwork was getting facts. Therewas one case w'here a Negro wasseen moving in after midnight.He seemed to have a lot of friendswith him, and they were seen car¬rying a refrigerator into theapart ment."Since there was already a re¬frigerator in the apartment, theman’s future neighbors were surethat the apartment was beingmade ready to house more thanone family unit. All this was an¬grily reported to the Conference."When we got in touch with theman and asked him just what wasgoing on, he replied that he hadmoved in the middle of the nightbecause he was scared. He saidhe hadn’t known that there al¬ready was a refrigerator in thebuilding, and that his friendswere just helping him with hisrefrigerator.”"This situation might have beenresolved if no agency had both¬ered to investigate, but the Con¬ference did provide an active bodyto which people could report theirfears and which was able to in¬vestigate effectively."From 1949 through 1954 theblock groups dealt mostly withcomparatively smaller problemssuch as traffic and minor build¬ing violations. This served, inHorwitz’s words, as "a sort ofpreparation for dealing with themore sophisticated considerations—considerations involving all ofHyde Park - Kenwood, considera¬ tions about which the whole com¬munity was soon to be consulted."By 1952, the HPKCC had beeneffectively gaining inter-racial co¬operation in work on problemscommon to all area residents. Inaddition, it had made a painstak¬ingly detailed survey of the areaand had formulated proposalsbased on this survey. Many of thesuggestions in the 1951 HPKCCCommunity Appraisal Study arequite similar to Hyde Park Ken¬wood’s final renewal plan, ap¬proved eight years later.But, because of the Confer¬ence's limited human and finan¬cial assets, these efforts werewhat Julia Abramson, executivedirector of the Conference for sixyears, has referred to as “fingersIn the dike."Realizing their limitations, theConference had early tried to se¬cure the support of the greatestsingle economic and social forcein Hyde Park-Kenwood—the Uni¬versity of Chicago. However, a1950 meeting between then-Chan-cellor Robert M. Hutchins andthree Conference representativesfailed to produce any UC involve¬ment in fighting neighborhooddeterioration.Area residents began to. hopethat the University’s sizable re¬sources might be used to helpsolve community problems whennewly-appointed Chancellor Law¬rence A. Kimpton stated in 195 Lthat the University should takethe lead in area conservation.Ask the UniversityDuring a crime wave early in1952, representatives of twoneighborhood groups approachedKimpton—the Hyde Park com¬munity council (a council of ex¬isting organizations, originally ascheduling committee designed toprevent groups from planningevents on conflicting dates), andthe Hyde Park council ofchurches and synagogues.Kimpton and the representa¬tives decided to schedule a massmeeting to which the whole com¬munity would be invited to dis¬cuss the crime problem. The let¬ters which announced the meet¬ing in the University’s Mandelhall, on March 27, 1952, stated inpart: “We are tired of being toldthat Chicago is the crime head¬quarters of the nation."The kidnapping of a UC instruc¬tor’s wife the night before themass meeting resulted in unex¬pected city-wide publicity for themeeting. Overflow crowds in ex¬cess of 1,000 people filled Mandelhall for the meeting.That night a "Committee ofFive” was elected with a directiveto establish the needs of the com¬munity and to report its recom¬mendation for a program by May30. Committee members were:Lawrence A. Kimpton, chairman;Rabbi Louis L. Mann, Fred J.Sprowles. director of the HydePark YMCA, Dr. Ursula Stone,professor of economics at GeorgeWilliams college, and Hubert L.Will, a director of the HPKCC."Kimpton recognized that a—Photo by LyonA familiar sight to persons in attendance during the re¬birth of a neighborhood. ommunity— Photo by QroenbergA "playground" typical of Old Hyde Park. For today'scontrast, see next page.University-led fight against de¬terioration must have two empha¬ses," recalls Julian Levi, who waslater to work closely with Kimp¬ton. “First, the neighborhood hadto be organized, and second, theconservation had to think beyondHyde Park-Kenwood."For example, the Universitysaw that if you are interested inpolice improvement, you have toconsider the whole police district,including the area south of themidway.”The Committee of Five workedon its report “night and day forfive weeks," talking to peopleand considering programs. Thereport was presented to the com¬munity at another crowded Man-del hall meeting on May 19. 1952.The report recommended the es¬tablishment of a permanentgroup to deal with neighborhoodcrime and other problems—andnamed this group the "SoutheastChicago commission (SECC.)’’The report said in part:“Our activity is going to be per¬manent and it is going to hit hard.We are not indulging in a passingburst of indignation. We are de¬termined to get something done,now and in the years ahead.“All this inevitably involvesplanning and, even more impor¬tant, doing something about theplan once it is made.”Participants in the mass meet¬ing voted overwhelmingly infavor of this report. The SECCwas created with Kimpton laspresident, and Dr. Ursula Stoneas acting executive director.The formation of the SECC rep¬resented the hoped for direct in¬volvement of the University inneighborhood problems. JulianLevi, who has served as executivedirector of the Commission froma few months after Dr. Stone’sappointment until the present,has stated, "The Southeast Chi¬cago commission is the politicalaction arm of the University."Included in the Committee ofFive’s report was a Universityoffer to contribute $15,000 for theCommission’s first year of opera¬tion, and $10,000 for each of foursucceeding years.Kimpton talks watermelonsExecutive Director Levi was of¬fered that post by ChancellorKimpton. Says Levi, "Darned if Iknow how they found me. I madethe mistake of going to lunchwith Kimpton one day. Duringour conversation, Kimpton said:‘One of the toughest things aboutlifting a watermelon is gettinghold of it — it’s not the sheerweight of the thing.’"That was our problem," con¬tinues Levi, "getting a hold onthe major social and economicforces that were operatingagainst the community in 1952."The major neighborhood prob¬lem in 1952, as well as the directreason for the formation of theSECC was the high rate of crimeIn Hyde Park-Kenwood. After hisappointment as executive direc¬tor, Levi carried on the detailedanalysis of community police per¬formance, begun by Dr. Stone.In facte, Commission reports made from actual police recordsand from personal observationproved to be so useful in assess¬ing police performance that Levicontinues to get a weekly reportof all complaints to police,changes in assignment, etc."In addition," says Levi, "werecognized that there were somethings that the police departmentjust couldn’t do — but which hadto be done. For example, theCity’s budget was very tight andthere wasn’t enough money foradequate supplies at the policestation."When we found this out, in¬stead of complaining about it, wesent typewriters and lockers di¬rectly to the Hyde Park station.The officers were dumbfoundedwhen the equipment was deliv¬ered to the station.”In dealing with police matters,the Commission initiated a meth¬od of operation which they havecontinued to use.Slays Levi, “The key to whatwe did was to view the thing inprofessional terms. P'or example,in seeking to improve law en¬forcement, we got a man with aPhD in sociology with fifteenyears experience in state and fed¬eral law enforcement systems.”The SECC worked with the po¬lice to develop techniques for"mapping and detection of crimeby criminals’ methods of opera¬tion.” Says Levi, “It’s like fishing—and it works.”The commission’s efforts haveplayed a part in the 50 per centreduction of crime in Hyde Park-Kenwood since 1952. Not only hasthere been a decrease in areacrime, but 114 men have beenadded to the Hyde Park Policedistrict since 1952.While it worked on this firstproblem, the SECC became in¬creasingly interested in some sortof area-wide redevelopment plan.Says I^»vl: "If you look for awhile at any problem of com-munity wide improvement or de¬cline, you soon recognize thatslum and near slum structuresmust be gotten rid of. These budapples produce crime, overcrowd¬ing, and maintenance problems.Our investigation of crime wastl«e birth of our interest in rede¬velopment.”Consequently, in 1953 the SECCturned to the problem of direct¬ing public power and money into __the redevelopment of Hyde Park.The major existing “tool" theCommission could use was the Il¬linois Blighted Areas Develop¬ment act of 1947. Before passageof this act, demolition of slumbuildings was supposed to be con¬ducted by private investors. Thecosts of this demolition were in¬evitably added to the rentsand purchase prices of the newproperty.The alternative to this expen¬sive process was having a publicagency bear the cost of the demo¬lition projects, alter first acquir¬ing the land to be demolished.This agency would then resell theland to private investors, withoutincreasing the price by theamount spent on demolition.28 • CHICAGO MAROON • Sept. 30, 1960UC and the SECC lead the fightThe Chicago Land Clearancecommission (CLCC) was theagency that was authorized un¬der the Blighted Areas Develop¬ment act, to acquire, clear, andresell land once the area had first also became planning director ofthe SECC, and his plans representthe thinking of both groups.By June 30, 1954, which was thedate of announcement of the"Hyde Park A and B” plan, the«» —Photo by GreenbergPlay area near some of tke new town houses constructedas a part of the "Hyde Park A and B" plan.been classified as a blighted area.Both the SECC and the HPKCCasked the CLCC to make a surveyto determine whether or not HydePark-Kenwood was eligible for itsservices. This action, taken in1953, marked the first time anyneighborhood had asked a publicagency to condemn it.As a result of its survey, theCLCC in 1954 selected two areas,designated "A’’ and “B,” for im¬mediate acquisition and demoli¬tion. Hyde Park A centeringaround 55th and Lake Park, andHyde Park B centering around53rd and Dorchester, together oc¬cupied 47.3 acres and contained1,997 dwelling units. Of these,1,228 were designated "sub stand¬ard.” The area housed 4,519, 8.2per cent of Hyde Park's 55,000population.After receiving CLCC approval,this site designation had to beapproved by city, state, and fed¬eral agencies. Then, these sameagencies had to approve propo¬sals from private "redevclopers”concerning the use to which thecleared land would be put.It wasn't until March 1957 thatthe City Council approved theplan submitted by a Nc-w Yorkreal estate firm, Webb andKnapp, headed by realtor WilliamZeckendorf.The SECC had developed a planfor the area in 1954 which wasgenerally followed by architectssubmitting plans for the area'sredevelopment. Along with itsspecific recommendations — theplan calls for construction of 400elevator apartments, 186 maison¬ettes, and 12G row houses, total¬ing 712 dwelling units—the SECCproposal warned:"The problems of the area can¬not be dealt with exclusively byslum clearance but require speedyattention by the provision of im¬proved community facilities —parks, schools, playgrounds, park¬ing, the reduction and efficientchanneling of through traffic, etc.Before the CLCC had evenagreed to survey the area, it hadstated that it would begin rede¬velopment of the areas selectedby the Commission only if this re¬development was a part of acomprehensive plan which wouldeffect the general rehabilitationof the entire area served by theSouth East Chicago commission.Shortly thereafter, the FieldFoundation gave the University a$100,000 grant to establish aneighborhood planning unit, withthe understanding that "the Uni¬versity and the Commission arecommitted to the development ofa physically attractive, well serv¬iced, nondiscriminatory commu¬nity."This University planning unitwas operating by April, 1954, un¬der planner Jack Meltzer. Meltzer planning unit also had drawn thebroad outlines for an area-widedevelopment plan, in accordancewith the CLCC request.While this broad plan was beingrefined, and while-new legal toolswhich would help secure the re¬newal of all Hyde Park-Kenwoodwere being formed, the "battle”(as Julian Levi likes to call it)against deterioration was begunon another front.Form corporationThe City Council had passedThe Neighborhood Redevelop¬ment Corporation law in 1941.This law allowed interested per¬sons to form private corporationsfor the elimination of slums intheir communities. Under anamendment drafted largely byJulian Levi and passed in 1953,this law was made applicable toconservation areas, such as HydePark-Kenwood.Under the law, writes JuliaAbramson, any three citizenscould form a corporation to applyfor permission to do redevelop¬ment work in areas ranging fromtwo to one hundred and sixtyacres. Before a corporation couldacquire property by oondemna-tion, however, it had to own orhave the consent of the owners of80 per cent or more of the prop¬erty within the development areaas well as approval of the propo¬sals by the Neighborhood Rede¬velopment commission, a publicbody appointed by the mayorwith the consent of the City Coun¬cil."First use of this law was madeby the Southwest Hyde ParkNeighborhood Redevelopment cor¬poration tSWHPNRC). The Cor¬poration was formed to developthe area between 55th and 56thstreets, from Cottage Grove toEllis avenues.This area, housing 660 dwellingunits, 76 of which were made byillegal conversions or other viola¬tions of building and zoning laws,was "to be sold and conveyed atthe Corporation's cost of acquisi¬tion, assembly and clearance tothe University of Chicago.”Its plan continues: "The Uni¬versity will proceed to the erec¬tion of five 5-story fireproofapartment buildings for marriedstudent housing. Said apartmentbuildings will contain approxi¬mately 200 apartments."This and other neighborhood re¬development corporations had theassistance of the SECC's execu¬tive and planning directors. Proj¬ects of the corporations and"Hyde Park A and B” were allplans that concerned limitedareas. However, the University,the SECC, and the HPKCC didnot give up their efforts to manufacture the legislative tools for acommunity wide program whichincluded rehabilitation efforts, along with some total redevelop¬ment."Our general experience withthe legislatures was very goodfrom the start," recalls JulianLevi. "The times were with us."The outstanding fa*-t of urbandemography in the years 1940-1960 has been the decline of thecity. Everyone is w’orried aboutthis, and everyone has been will¬ing to seek a solution."In 1954, Congress amended theFederal Housing act of 1949 toauthorize the US Housing andHome Finance agency to “extendcapital grants to local public bod¬ies in order to assist them incarrying out urban renewal proj¬ects.” Local participation is re¬quired to an extent of at leastone-fourth of the net project costsinvolved.Here at last was the potentialsource of public funds — moneythat would be available for re¬newal efforts as well as rebuilding. Planner Xleltzer and D. E.Mackelmann, then deputy cityhousing coordinator, prepared ap¬plications for federal funds to con¬duct surveys and planning.By September 14, 1955, the city,acting through the CommunityConservation board (CCB), theredevelopment agency created un¬der the state legislation securedin 1953, contracted with the Fed¬eral government for planningfunds not to exceed $198,000.The CCB in turn hired JackMeltzer and the UC-SECC plan¬ning unit to carry out studies un¬der the policy direction of theCCB."The Planning Unit had alreadydone a considerable part of themapping and preliminary explor¬ation on the basis of which tenta¬tive suggestions for renewal hadbeen drawn up.” writes JuliaAbramson.“Now Jack Meltzer, acting un¬der contract to the CCB, set outto translate his earlier findingsinto specific proposals and to de¬termine the feasibility of the pro¬posals.”Submit’ renewal planThe planning unit submitted apreliminary project report to theFederal Housing and' Home Fi¬nance administration August 31,1956. By December 20, 1956, thispreliminary report was approved,and a reservation of $25,835,000 offederal funds was made, subjectto local and federal approval ofthe final plan.This was a plan for the renewalof Hyde Park-Kenwood, includingihe area between 47th and 59thstreet. Cottage Grove and LakeMichigan areas already being re¬developed were excluded fromthis plan.The plan called for the reloca¬tion of 19,063 people; 1,837 whitefamilies and 2,534 non-white fami¬lies. Of these, 2,120 families wereeligible for public housing, andthe available public housing inChicago was estimated to be in ex¬cess of this figure. In an attemptto make relocation run smoothly,the relocations were to be .spreadover five years.Significantly, only 20 per centof all the structures in the areawere slated to be torn down. Asfor the remaining 80 per cent,the premliminary plan stated:"The success of the Urban Renew¬al Plan requires that these struc¬tures be rehabilitated and modern¬ized.”The plan also included changesin traffic patterns, building ofschools and playgrounds, and re¬ductions in the areas that werezoned as commercial- districts."There’s nothing like proposeddemolition to quicken people’s in¬terest in what is going on," saysIrving Horwitz of the HPKCC.The interest of area residents inurban renewal was more thanquickened throughout Hyde Park-Kenwood, former strangers de¬termined their future, and the fu¬ture of their neighborhood."I think this project was givenmore hours of official and unoffi¬cial discussion than any othersimilar project in the country,"says D.

Lairdwouldn’t tell me what it was about, but I suspected —-and it turned out correctly — that they had finally ex¬hausted both Who’s Who and themselves. Laii'd alwaysbecomes hideously embarrassed whenever — to quotethe late vice-president in charge of mixed metaphor* —he has to stop waltzing, get the prunes out of his teeth,and talk the real mashed potatoes.“Within the first two minutes of our meeting he fixedhis wandering eye upon the far corner of the room andsaid that the Trustees, after being badly advised by afaculty committee, had made a most unhappy, regret¬table and unfortunate decision, and proposed with doubtand hesitation to offer me the Chancellorship of the uni¬versity. Harold Swift took over at this point to give thehistory of the picture, and about three hours later, whenthere was a momentary lull. I said, ‘I accept.’“We were all buying pigs in a poke, of course, butnone of us at that time had any idea with what realswine we would later be dealing on some of our areaand fiscal problems.”Despite the fact that Kimpton generated profoundchanges in the university and that his presence will con¬tinue to be felt until long after he has left, the modestywhich he initially brought to his office lasted through¬out his entire term.When he announced his resignation last spring, heexplained that “my conviction is that the head of sucha university as this one can do his best work for itwithin a reasonably short time. The university every sooften requires a change in leaders who can apply freshand sharply objective appraisals, and start anew, freeof the associations, friendships, and scars of a commonstruggle.“I believe that the history of our university bears meout in showing the renewed vitality and intensity whichcame with each of my predecessors and the new anddistinctive contributions they were able to make throughthe direction they gave the university.”Problems face UniversityAt the time he assumed its Chancellorship. Kimptonsaw three grave problems confronting the university.One problem was a sagging endowment fund; underKimpton, the UC economy has expanded greatly. Todayit has the fourth largest educational endowment in thenation. Only in his first year of office has the schooloperated on a deficit budget.The second problem was a decaying neighborhood.We are today engaged in a mammoth redevelopmentproject; Chicago played a signal role in the developmentof this project.The third and final area of concern was with theacademics, particularly the College. “A great Americanuniversity cannot long remain great without a dis¬tinguished undergraduate program,” Kimpton asserted.Yet he felt that the essential orientation of the schoolwas in fact in a somewhat different direction.“One may like or dislike it, but this university has ageist. It is not too easy to put into words, but its essenceis a passionate dedication to pure research and scholar¬ship. Everything else is secondary and derivative.”Yet the College must be an organic part of the Univer¬sity itself. Kimpton did not reject the tradition he in¬herited: “I do not hesitate to say that I regard Chicagoas one of the greatest educational institutions of ourday, soundly conceived, correctly organised, and ad¬mirably staffed. These things are due to the imagina¬tive genius of Harper and the educational insight ofHutchins.” Bather, he sought an amelioration, a meansof combining the general education program into thespecialized geist of the school itself.“An education that prepares a student for life shouldlift him for an understanding of and participation in themore important fields of democratic thought and at thesame time provide for the cultivation of those uniquegifts and interests which set the individual apart fromhis fellows. These arc complementary objectives andevery student has the right to demand that his univer¬sity pursue them wisely and well.”“Educated man has curiosity"Kimpton had sometning of a horror of undergraduateuniformity. He referred to the fact that all college stu¬dents were taking exactly the same courses as a kind of“academic lockstep.”There is much value, Kimpton would assert, in takinga course merely because it interests you. “The educatedman maintains toward the world of men and events aholy curiosity, to use Einstein’s phrase. He stands readyat all times to regard the different and the alien as anopportunity for discovery. ... He has maith, but is ableto view these articles of faith with an honest skepticism.He is deeply serious but recognizes that the whole thingis more than slightly ridiculous.”He delighted in the element of disorder inevitable inthis sort of system. He frequently insisted that thespirit of adventure was an indispensible part of thisinstitution. He spoke of the sense of pioneering whichhas expressed itself here endlessly through our history.He asserted that the drama and excitement of a mildchaos was beneficial to the school.“The winds of freedom blew open our doors sixtyyears ago, and they have been hanging open ever since.When we decide to relocate the bachelor’s degree, we re-locat it with a sound like the prospectors of the Klondikelocating a new claim. When we make a decision to de¬velop a center for nuclear research, there is an explosionthat sounds like the first shot on the sands of the Alama-gordo. And when, 25 years ago, we opened up the firstfull lime medical school, you would have thought thatlightning had struck the house of Hippocrates.“This is our tradition of sound and fury, but with us30 • CHICAGO MAROON • Sept. done. Our mistakes have always been those of com¬mission, never of omission.”Kimpton made his first appearance on the quadran¬gles in 1943 when he accepted a position as associatechief administrator of the metallurgy project. Betterknown as the Manhattan project, this group carried onsome of the government's highest priority war research.Chancellor Kimpton presenting the pastin his study.Within a year, the Chancellor had become chief ad¬ministrator.During much of this time, Kimpton was also servingas dean of students and professor of philosophy. Suc¬cessful at all these ventures, he was made vice presidentand dean of the faculties in 1946.Apparently missing close contact with students, Kimp¬ton left Chicago in 1947 to become dean of students athis alma mater, Stanford university. His successor asdean of the faculties was R. Wendell Harrison, the manwho has now temporarily taken Kimpton*s place asacting chancellor.Hutchins induced the young administrator t*o returnThe follouhng is reprinted directly from the min¬utes of the Council of the faculty senate, meeting ofJune 6, I960. Arthur Friedman is chairman of thecouncil.Council of the Senate, June 6, 1960As the next order of business, Mr. Friedman,spokesman, moved that the following memorialbe accepted as expressing the sentiment of theCouncil:Since this is probably the last meeting of theCouncil of the Senate at which Mr. Kimpton willpreside, it is appropriate that this body, as the represent¬atives of the faculty of the University, should todayadopt a memorial which expresses, however imperfectly,our gratitude to him and our affection for him.Mr. Kimpton has been chancellor during one of themost crucial periods in the history of the University.At the beginning of his administration he found the Uni¬versity with an unbalanced budget and in a desperatecondition financially. He found the University in a neigh¬borhood decaying so rapidly that it would soon havebeen beyond salvation but with no plan for halting thedecline. To balance the budget, to raise money in largeamounts, to repair the neighborhood — what could hemore difficult and less glamorous for a man trained inphilosophy and interested in higher education? Butthese things were indispensable if the University wereto continue with any degree of greatness; so Mr.Kimpton did them. If the University is now in excellentshape financially and ready to go ahead with increasingstrength, if the future of the neighborhood can now beviewed with confidence, we have Mr. Kimpton to thank.He may well be called the savior of the University.But Mr. Kimpton has not only saved the Universityfrom disaster; he has in many ways made it better thanit ever was. Under the guidance the undergradu¬ate part of the University has been brought into a rela¬tionship with the other parts in a way that promises tobe tremendously beneficial to all the parts. Under hisguidance the relationship of University College to therest of the University has been clarified and improved.Under his leadership some parts of the University haveadvanced spectacularly, and there can hardly be an areawhich is not stronger than at the beginning of his ad¬ministration. Under his leadership research and scholar¬ship have been returned to their rightful place as thecentral concern of this University. For these accomplish¬ments and others like these he has our lasting admira-30, 1960 to Chicago in 1950 as vice-president in charge of devel¬opment. Shortly after this, Hutchins tendered his ownresignation, and 4dyear old Larry Kimpton became Chi¬cago’s sixth chief officer.Born in Kansas City in 1910, Kknpton attended publicschools in Kansas City,president of his class and of his student body, he gradu¬ated from high school at the age of 16.At Stanford he participated in few extracurricularactivities, concentrating instead on academics. He wona Phi Beta Kappa key in his junior year. Kimpton oncepointed out that “Bob Hutchins was up to his ears instudent activities when he was an undergraduate, andas you know, he exhibited no great love for them whenhe was Chancellor. I’m quite interested in them now,although I was involved in next to nothing as a student."After Stanford, he went east. In 1935 he was granteda PhD from Cornell. As an undergraduate he had ma¬jored in such various fields as Greek, law, and psy¬chology, but his doctoral dissertation was entitled “Theproblems and method of the critical philosophy—a studyof Immanuel Kant."He was. by his own admission, “a fairly impossibleyoung man.”Prior to his arrival at Chicago, the Chancellor was ateacher and administrator at Deep Springs, in Califor¬nia. and at the University of Kansas City. The one thinghe most regrets about his career was that actual teach¬ing soon became impossible. ‘Some observers of the Chicago scene have argued thatKimpton’s exceptional administrative talents were morethan balanced by his lack of command over a soundacademic theory. This is not fully supported by thefacts. Under Kimpton, the Law school, the School ofMedicine, and the Business school have entered indis¬putable renaissances, according to Gen A. Lloyd, chair¬man of the Board of Trustees.• Developmental role uncertainWhat role did Kimpton play in this development,whether it be positive or negative? This is difficult todetermine: “At Chicago.” Kimpton once whimsicallycomplained, “I am convinced that the secretaries deter¬mine ail really important matters of university policyand at the same time adroitly anoint both the facultyand the administration with a specious sense of omni¬potence and omniscience.“The real function of the American university presi¬dent is that of serving as midwife to the faculty, andhe is successful in this obstetrical function to the extentthat lie properly delivers them of their ideas and in¬spirations-“He must listen endlessly and even politely to what heknows is utter drivel. His leadership must be patient andadroit rather than peremptory. He must be a masterof encouragement and of timing so that the ideas shalldrift up and the money shall drift down and the twoshall happily coincide.“Like the God of Israel, he must be feared, but, likemore modern versions of the deity, he must be respected.tion and gratitude.But for Mr. Kimpton even stronger than our feelingsof admiration and gratitude are our feelings of verydeep trust and affection. Whatever his own feelings mayhave been — and at times he must have had his reserva¬tions — he has always acted as though professors wereimportant people; he has credited them with intelligenceand good will and has sought their advice to guide himin making his decisions. As a result the University hasnot been divided into factions for and against the ad¬ministration; his years as chancellor have been yearsnot of apathy but of peace. I am sure we shall rememberhis administration above all as an era of good feelingwhen we were able to go about the serious work of theUniversity — our research and teaching — with a min¬imum of distraction.We are deeply distressed that Mr. Kimpton shouldchoose to leave us now; but after making impossibledemands on his time and energy for nine years, we haveno right to ask more of him. We know that the Univer¬sity will always be very close to his heart, as he will beto ours; and we are happy that he will live in Chicagowhere he will continue to be our “guide, philosopher,and friend.”Faculty senate praises, commends,Lawrence Kimpton^ University ruleH. W. Harrison named Acting ChancellorR. Wendell Harrison, the acting chancellor ofthe University, his teeth showing brightly behinda wide Texas smile, seemed generally unimpressedby his new title. "After all,” he explained, ‘Tvebeen acting chancellor once before at this Uni¬versity, and that job didn’t last too long.”Harrison was sitting in his small, book filled office onthe fifth floor of the Administration building. He hasno intention of moving into Chancellor Kimpton’s re¬cently vacated office. "I’m only acting Chancellor,” thegrey haired administrator remarked. -Besides, whoknows when I’d have to move out again.-I don’t intend to move into the Chancellor’s houseeither,” he continued. "I don’t know how many peoplehave called in the last week to ask me that. I havea town house in the neighborhood which is comfortable,pleasant, and mine.-The Chancellor’s office and his house will remainempty no til the University finds a new Chancellor. Ihope that will be soon.”In addition to serving as acting Chancellor, Harrisonis maintaining his regular duties as vice-president ofthe University and Dean of the faculties. He wavedat the stacks of books upon his desk, sociology texts,educational materials, English poetry, and The PeopleShall Judge."I have to keep up with what the faculty is writing,”he explained. All appointments to tenure in the Uni¬versity are made by the Chancellor, generally afterconsultation with the appropriate dean and the Deanof the Faculties. As acting head of the institution, Har¬rison will be consulting with himself on such question,should they occur.The 62 year old Texan explained that while friendsand fellow administrators had already done much toremove the burden of both jobs, a substantial array ofwork remained. Harrison will try to avoid some of theChancellor's normal duties, however. *T am an acting(Thancellor; T don’t want to act as if T were Chancellor,”he continued, "for you see, I’m not.”Becomes interested in biologyBom in 1897 in Ellis county, Texas, this administratorwas graduated from Southern Methodist university in1921. His initial interest was in chemistry, and it wasin this field that he received his Bachelor’s degree, but,throughout this time, he found himself developing asignificant interest in biology.In the summer of 1921 he arrived on campus to dosome graduate work in biology.It was at this time that Harrison acquired the nick¬name "Pat.” "I was walking past Ricketts lab,” hereminisced. ”A young man was sitting in the doorwaytrying to cool off. Chicago is rather hot in the summerand inside Ricketts, with its bunsen burners going,the temperature was dreadful.This young man, who was Lloyd B. Jensen, later re¬search director for Armour, asked Harrison who he wasand what he was doing here. Upon being told his name,Jensen asked if the new student were any relation toSenator Pat Harrison of Mississippi. The answer was no.-Lloyd then dragged me Inside the building and in¬troduced me to everyone, professors and janitors, as‘Pat’ Harrison. I don’t know why,” Harrison continued.The nickname has stock, and while no one outside theUniversity ever calls him Tat’, inside he is universallyTat Harrison.’I "Pat” Harrison, acting Chancellor, at admin-I istrative duties.He continued doing graduate work on the Quadranglesduring the Summer quarter, returning to SMU duringthe academic year to teach biology there.In 1927 he left his alma mater as an assistant profes¬sor, and became an instructor in applied bacteriologyand immunology at Washington university in St. Louisthree years later. During the three intervening years hewas working for the PhD he received here in 1930."Education must open the way to us for the explora¬tions of our own into the past,” he once asserted in aConvocation address. "Into the present and into the pos¬sibilities of the future. And if we are to make contribu¬tions through our explorations we must become special¬ists, we must find or design, and we must learn to use,the tools with which the unknown can be probed orthe forces can be harnessed."So, although the first job in education, for teacher and for student, is to seek and to Impart knowledge,the total of opportunity and responsibility is muchgreater."Harrison was living up to his own dictums at St.Louis, and his reputation as a research scientist, as onesuccessfully "probing the unknown” was wide enoughto reach Chicago.In 1937 he was offered an assistant professorship Inmicrobiology at the University. He accepted. This wasactually a joint appointment between the Division ofbiological science and the Zoller dental clinic. This com¬bination was most suitable for Harrison’s interest, forat the moment he was investigating such topics as:bacteriology of the mouth, the lactobacilli, and con¬junctival infection.This was a full time research appointment. He workedwith a few graduate students on specific subjects, buthad no teaching assignments. Harrison has had verylittle contact with the student body, and is practicallyunknown to students on campus.The future Dean of the faculties was beginning toamass a considerable reputation in his field when, in1941, the Dean of the Division of Biological science ap¬proached him about accepting a position as associatedean. Harrison had many reservations, and was reluc¬tant to devote even part of his time to administration,at the expense of his research work.'He did accept ultimately, only because of the specialnature of the work, then influenced very strongly bythe war effort. Certain projects, such as maleria re¬search, were dictated by the world situation; someonehad to organize the program, and Harrison was theman selected and, seemingly, fitted for the task. Hehad no expectation for hope) of liking the job.But, somewhat to his own surprise, he found a sat¬isfaction in administrative work he hadn’t exnected; hisannounced intention of a quick return to the laboratoriesquickly and quietly faded away.When, in 1943, he was offered the deanship of theDivision, he accepted with a considerably diminishedreservation. He still managed to spend a few hours inthe labs, however.In 1947 the then De?~. of the Faculties denarted ftem¬porarily) to become Dean of students at Stanford. Hisname was Larrv Kimpton. At the same time, EmeryFilbey, Vice-president of the University, reached man¬datory retirement a^e. Harrison neTvmanentlv dronnedhis research work that year when he accepted a pro¬motion to replace both men.Second term as actinq chancellorAs acting Chancellor, Harrison is, for the second time,serving as a replacement for Kimpton. To complete thetwist, in 1951, while the Chancellorship committee wassearching for the man to renlace Hutchins, Harrisonalso served as acting Chancellor.While working under Hutchins the use of the nick¬name ‘Pat’ became even more entrenched. Hutchins in¬itials are RMH, Harrisons the very similar RWH. Bothmen sign their initials in a rather illegible scrawl. OneUniversity official, mistaking a Harrison memo for aHutchins directive, went shooting off on a particularlyemharrasing, if understandable, tangent. Since thenthe Dean of the Faculties has signed his memos withthe simple and clear ‘Tat.”Desnite his limited contact with undergraduates, Har¬rison has maintained a real interest in undergraduateeducation, and a devotion to the principles of generaleducation. In a speech delivered last year he stated that:"The loudest current clamor for changes in the edu¬cational system is not for the pendulum to swing backtoward broad, basic general education. We are in a peri¬od of ereat technological change with ranidly expandedneed for technically trained mannower. We are in thiscountry simultaneously concerned about the rapid Sovietadvance in science, mathematics and engineering andthe potential consequences for us in any future militaryor economic warfare. Hence, the loudest voices and thestrongest pressures are in the direction of more science,more mathematics, more engineering."Nobody in his right mind would object to bettertraining in chemistry, physics, or mathematics. No one,surely, would obiect to there being more training inthese subjects if in the process of providing it there isnot less training in other areas which are equally im¬portant."But better training !s needed also in rhetoric, in com¬position, in English literature, in history, in civics orpolitical science, in biology, in eeorranhy, in languagesand in some, perhaps in most, of these areas moretraining is needed.”Harrison is deeply concerned over the iniurious effectsof too much specialization too early. ’The persons towhom many people turn for leadership are themselvesnarrowly and intensively trained. They lack balance.The capacity for leadership is widespread; the broadtrainin'* required for its exercise is unfortunately hardto find.”Committed to general educationHe remains committed to the general educationalprinciples of the College. He tells of a visit he once re¬ceived from a scientist on the faculty who was bitterlycomplaining that in the advanced courses he taught,graduates of the UC College were quite bored, for theyhad already recived undergraduate instruction in thematerial he was teaching. Couldn’t this material be re¬moved from the College curriculum? Harrison repliedwith a firm “No.”"I did not, do not, and will not believe that generaleducation Is itself the full complement to someone goinginto graduate work,” he continued.“But, I do think that we can produce a College flex¬ible enough to satisfy the needs of the generally welleducated man and the young specialist.”During the past few years, instead of manipulatingtest-tubes, Harrison has spent his time manipulatingbudgets and the men who make them. His work dividesinto two interrelated branches, that of co-ordination ofSept. 30, the many academic aspects of the University, and thatof serving as main budget officer.These two responsibilities are combined into one of¬fice because the position of Dean of the Faculties pro¬vides the most complete overall view of the academicsituation existing in the University, and understandingindispensible for any intelligent budgetary control.(This formulation, of course, excludes the office of theChancellor from consideration.)As Dean of the Faculties, Harrison assists in approv¬ing all promotions to full tenure (assistant profesor toassociate professor), all appointments to endowedchairs; he is a member of all faculties, and there areeleven; a member of all the various University boards;R. W. Harrison as the MarchHare following Mad Halter Kimp¬ton.and acting chairman of the board of precollegiate edu¬cation and the council on teacher education. Harrison,for example, attended all the meetings of the Executivecommittee on undergraduate education while its wasformulating plans for the current College program.As budget officer, Harrison must plan the budget aa year in advance ("it’s never big enough”) and decidethe relative merits of many different projects.Nearing the University’s compulsory retirement ageof 65, Harrison has not given much consideration to howhe’ll spend his retirement. In the "precious little non-University time” he has now he enjoys photography,fishing, and Beethoven piano sonatas.He has just returned to campus from a vacation inNorth Carolina where he spent four "very pleasant days”sitting in a wooden rocking chair on an old wootienporch looking at the blue hills.Concept of greatness"If a University is to be great, it must see to it thatit’s students have opportunity not only to master thesubject matter in their programs, not only to acquireskill in the use of the appropriate tools. It must helpthem also, to extend the boundaries of natural curiosity,to enlarge the spirit of inquiry and to acquire confidencein the methods of exploration and research."I think that’s what we’re doing, and I’m pleased 1odo anything I can to further that goal,” the actingChancellor said.Students stand alone;face new experiencesFor two weeks you have been engaging in a new,exciting and perplexing experience, aware thatnow you are standing on your own feet, withoutthe comforting support of home, friends and fa¬miliar routine. In small part, the busy time of ori¬entation has softened the change by demandingyour full attention.Now you face classes and concentration on study ata more exacting level than you have known before.Orientation and the classes and the many other aspectsof the College, from advisors to activities, reflect thedetermination of the University to make your under¬graduate years productive. The University is deeplycommitted and interested in the College, constantly re¬examining and reworking it with the sole purpose ofproviding a better means of education.You have been admitted, because by the best judgmentwe can apply in the esoteric art of evaluating youngmen and women, you are clearly capable of meeting ourstandards and give promise of using your competenceto good ends. There will bo problems and difficulties,but it is reassuring that in addition to your own excel¬lent resources the College has the means and desire tohelp you through them. You and we are making a mutualinvestment, which should produce a mutual satisfac¬tion in your achievement and in the enjoyment we con¬fidently expect you to have here. All of us join in asincere and cordial welcome.R. Wendell HarrisonActing Chancellor1960 • CHICAGO MAROON • 31Simpson goal: a perfect"J Alan Simpson wants to enable theCollege of which he is dean to givethe best possible liberal education.“I am not an educational theorist,”Simpson said in the speech acceptinghis appointment as dean, “but I thinkI know what an educated man looks like.He is thoroughly inoculated against hum¬bug. and tries to give his thoughts, in aspeech or on paper, some style.”Appointed dean of the new and reorgan¬ized College in May 1959, Simpson hasbeen a member of the University of Chi¬cago faculty since 1946. In addition to hisposition as dean, he holds the Thomas E.Donnelley chair in the history department.During his first years at UC, Simpsontaught general aducation courses in thesocial sciences, and was one of the origina¬tors of the history of western civilizationcourse, of which he served as course chair¬man for a brief time. He also is Use authorof many of the introductory notes to thewritings in The People Shall Judge.An outspoken proponent of liberal edu¬cation, Simpson has stated that, “The ca¬pacity of a country for v/hat we call civil¬ization is set by the level of its liberal edu¬cation. A liberal education can be definedin terms of knowledge, skills, and stand¬ards. The knowledge ought to include alittle about everything and a lot aboutsomething. The essential skills are thecapacity to think clearly and to write andspeak lucidly. The standards are those ofa civilized being who has some notion ofexcellence.Dilettantism a problem“If we look at the history of liberal edu¬cation, we find that it has always beencontrasted with the training which wasmerely vocational or professional. At itsworst, liberal education throughout thecenturies has suffered from dilettantismor conventionalism: it was often thoughtthat there was a gentlemanly point beyondwhich mental exertion should not be car¬ried, and a norm from which deviationwas absurd.“But at its best,” Simpson concluded,“liberal education has been a nursery ofpublic spirit and a school of criticism with¬out which the achievements of the West inthought and action would have been im¬possible.”Born in 1912 in the industrial commu¬nity of Gateshead, Durham, England,Simpson was the son of the circulationmanager of the Evening Chronicle at New-cast le-on-the-Tyne, England. In 1930 he en¬tered Worchester college at Oxford, re¬ceiving his BA in history three years laterwith honors.Simpson continued his Oxford educa¬tion, in Merton college, between 1933 and1935. He was awarded a fellowship whichrequired that he work for his PhD degree,which is not as common in England as itis in the United States.Oxford unique“Oxford,” Simpson recalls, “is very un¬like anything you see anywhere else inthe world.” The university has had sevencenturies of continuous existence, and itsmain quadrangle is bounded on one sidewith medieval cottages from the 15th cen-tliry and on the other side by the classicalarchitecture of the 18th century. “Thefirst exposure to this kind of thing makesa tremendous impact on the student.”Instruction is principally tutorial atOxford; the student meets with his tutorweekly, alone or with one or two otherstudents. The tutor assigns an essay topicfor the following week, and that week’spapers are read and discussed. “If you’retaking your work seriously, as I was,”said Simpson, “you write a 12 to 19-pagepaper every week. One developed a prettygood English style from writing a sub¬stantial paper every week.” Simpsonadded that he saw a marked distinctionbetween the products of English andAmerican schools in their “fluency onpaper.”Simpson feels that the browsing whichhe had to do to produce a paper everyweek has helped produce a valuable habit.He now is troubled about whether the ex¬tensive reading lists in UC courses leavetime for students to read other books. “Iwould wonder whether the fact that weorganize our courses on the basis of syl¬labi . . . would mean that one wouldn’thave much time for browsing.”England overspecializedThe dean next turned to a discussionof differences between English and Amer¬ican universities. “A place like Oxfordrequires a much higher degree of spe¬cialization than an American university,”he observed. “It seems to me that spe¬cialization starts too early in England.English colleges might learn somethingfrom American general education.“It would be a more serious mistake,however, to judge an English universityeducation by its degree requirements than to judge an American university by thesame standards. One picks up a lot of hiseducation informally. Say 60 70% of thestudents come from cultured homes withbooks around the place. And there is asophisticated intellectual tradition in Eng¬land as a whole.“American universities have a quickerresponse to national need and wo»ldevents,” Simpson continued. “While atChicago we’re constantly sensitive to theneed for change and perhaps sometimestoo quick to change, Oxford is resistantto any change at all.”When Simpson was appointed a Com¬monwealth fellow in 1935, he came to theUnited States to study at Harvard fortwo years. The fellowship is awarded toabout 25 students from the English com¬monwealth annually, and required as acondition that the fellows spend threemonths touring the country in which theystudy.Visits 40 statesDuring his tour the dean visited almost40 states. When asked his opinion of thecountry, he reported: “My impressions?It was big. I suppose they were the im¬pressions that anyone else gets on hisfirst visit to this country. This is a bigsprawling federal country with many dif¬ferent centers.” Simpson was “a bit de¬pressed by the standardization of every¬thing,” but praised “the splendor of thescenery, vigor of the industrial life, andthe freedom from the snobberies that usedto infect England.” had attended Knox college and was on afellowship at Oxford, studying for herbachelor of literature degree. The Simp¬sons have two daughters, both of whomare now attending UC.In 1941 Simpson volunteered for thearmy. He spent about six months as apr i v a t e soldier, then entered officer’straining school. He taught antiaircraftartillery for a year, then was engaged inanti-aircraft defense in England, reachingthe rank of captain. “About two monthsafter D-day I went behind the front linesthrough Germany and spent a long,dreary winter on the Scheldt.” He workedin a school fof rehabilitation and educa¬tion as director of the school for the fourmonths before he was demobilized.Joins UC facultyAfter working for another year at St.Andrews, Simpson came to UC, where hejoined the College faculty. “I feel that inmany ways Chicago fills the aims of aliberal education admirably,” he comment¬ed. “The requirements in knowledge aremet by the balance we have struck be¬tween general education and specializa¬tion; and as everyone knows we have notleft ‘a little bit about everything’ to ran¬dom choice. The essential skills are aswell taught here as anywhere; thanks tosmall classes, selected readings, compe¬tent instructors, vigorous discussion anda good deal of practice in writing, thebest Chicago student is a very adro’t per¬former.”In 1938 Simpson joined the faculty ofthe University of St. Andrews in Scotland.He served as a senior lecturer in modernBritish history and American history,while holding a supplementary lectureshipin constitutional law and history.Simpson considers St. Andrews “Acharming old liberal arts college verymuch at the mercy at any time of thedozen or so talented personalities on thefaculty. If too many of these werethoughtless enough to die at once, itslumped into mediocrity.“There is a greater emphasis on .generaleducation at St. Andrews than in mostEnglish schools, a general studies exam¬ination being given to all students aftertwo years of work.”Promotes American studyWhile Simpson was at St. Andrews, thecollege was attempting to promote Amer¬ican studies in the British Isles. “One de¬ficiency in the whole Oxford school was inAmerican history.”Simpson wrote his doctoral thesis on“The Convention Parliament, 1688-90.” Hereceived his degree in 1939.During his stay at Oxford, Simpson metand married Mary McQueen McEldowneyof Chicago Heights, Illinois. Mrs. Simpson Simpson served for some time on theregional committee to select WoodrowWilson scholars. From this he was ableto compare UC students to representativesof other schools in the Midwest.“At its best, there was in the Chicagoboy a kind of razor-sharpness that youjust didn’t find in the well-groomed prod¬ucts of other schools. The Chicago stu¬dent is thoroughly at home in the worldof ideas and quick on his feet.“As for our standards of excellence,”Simpson continued, “everything about us— our tradition, our resources, our metro¬politan situation helps us to maintainthem. Our problem is simply to makesure that we make the best use of ouropportunities. . . . Are the resources of thedepartments fully mobilized for the bene¬fit of the undergraduates? Is our metr-politan situation properly exploited, orhave we been a little provincial in ourisolation from the world around us?”Book wins awardsAs a member of UC’s history depart¬ment, the dean has taught parts of thegeneral English history sequence and di¬visional courses in his specialty, 17thcentury English history, as well as othercourses. He has written several books, in-32 CHICAGO MAROON • Sept. 30, 1960 collegeeluding the prize-winning Puritanism inOld and New England.Upon his appointment as dean, Simpsonsaid that he realized he would have iesstime to spend on research. He says, “Istill have one book to finish first, however,The Gentry 1540-1660: East Anglican(Studies) and then I will devote all mytime to acting as dean.”Simpson has written a description ofhis field for The School Review. In the ar¬ticle he said, “To be somewhat formal, wemay say that any field of knowledge canbe defined in terms of three aspects; itssubject matter, its method, and its find¬ings. The subject matter of history is ob¬vious; it is simply past human affairs.History is the student of men enmeshedin time.“The historian’s method? This is per¬haps a little more interesting, a little lessobvious than his subject matter. He pro¬ceeds by a cross examination of testimony.. . . The rigorous critical examination ofevidence is essentially a 19th and 20thcentury achievement. This process has re¬placed legend and fable bv something thatwe can describe as ‘tested fart’, and it hasenormously extended the range of humanknowledge. . . .History not a science“. . . Though historians speak of his¬torical science, we do not exnect our in¬quiries to yield any laws about humanbehavior or to furnish any basis for pre¬diction. In that sense, history will neverbe a science. That is not to say that noknowledge of human nature emerges fromour inquiries. . .“Then, although we repeatedly talkabout this or that which appears in a newbook, we are really deceiving ourselves bvusing that language because we do notreally expect finality in any of ourstudies. ... It is sometimes more satis¬factory to think of the historian, not asa scientist, but as an artist who gives youhis personal appreciation of a situation.”A successful piece of historical writingmust, for Simpson, do several things.“First of all it must recreate the past; itmust ‘get inside’ the people it is trying todescribe and analyze.“Second, a good work of history mustbe faithful to the evidence as good judgesview evidence. . . . Third, any good his¬torical work should reflect a civilizedmind when it passes judgment on its sub¬ject. ... It seems desirable to acknowledgethe role of judgment and to demand thatit reflects a discriminating mind, with awide experience of the heights and depthsof human behavior, which is capable ofdelivering a civilized opinion. . . . I.astly,I find it difficult to recognize anv histori¬cal work as first-class unless it is well-written.”During Sirqpson’s first year as dean ofthe College, he has been one of the Uni¬versity’s leading exponents of the ‘NewCollege’. Critics of UC’s latest programchange have been numerous, and Simpsonhas answered them by saying, “We havenow a better balance between general andspecialized education. The Old College hadmany admirable virtues and many painfuldeficiencies. We have attempted and, Ibelieve, succeeded in preserving the vir¬tues and eliminating the deficiencies of theOld College. I have limited patience withthose people who profess a great nostalgiafor a system that never existed.”Colleoe 'imaae' goodThe dean replies to those students whoeritlcize the administration for trying tochange UC’s ‘image’ by saying. “Whenpublic relations offices use the wordimage, they mean that what they havehas gotten bad and want something bet¬ter. This is not so. we’re content about the‘image’ of the College . . . we’re not wor¬ried about the development of the College,and the high priority of the College on thefifth floor (the fifth floor of the Adminia-tration building houses the University’sPublic Relations department) is not a res¬cue operation.”The dean went on to say that such "sym¬bols” of the College as the newly revisedcatalogue are imagery, “but not that of abroken down college getting a face lifting... if you went back ten years to wherethere were enrollment problems theremay have been trouble with imagery butnow these problems have disappeared.”Although a vociferous advocate of gen¬eral education, the dean supports the re¬duction of UC’s general education require¬ment, as reflected in the New College. Hesays, “I believe that there is a better bal¬ance between general and specialized edu¬cation in the New College. If life wereideally long, we would be able to have asmuch general education as we wanted to.But life is not ideally long, and we mustshorten the period devoted to general edu¬cation. I believe that the kind of collegewe have now is belter than the Old Col¬lege.” **%aSinclair edits UC's oily historyEditor’s note: In his hook“The Goose Step ” Upton Sin¬clair discusses American uni¬versity life. The following isa reprint of his chapter onUC. The words set off bybrackets are editorial ex-plainations.Education F.O.B.There was one Americancaptain of industry (John D.Rockefeller) with a mon¬strously developed bump ofacquisitiveness; as he de¬scribed himself: “I am a greatclamorer for dividends.” It wasfrequently charged that in theearly days his clamoring — or atany rate that of his subordinates. did not stop at arson and bur¬glary; it is certain that it did notstop at railroad rebates, “mid¬night tariffs," and numerousother violations of law. By suchmeans he made himself masterof the oil industry' of the countryand was on the way to acquiringthe railways and the banks andthe Child’s restaurants. He hadmade one or two hundred mil¬lions of dollars, and was busilyturning it into one or two bil¬lions; but he found rising againsthim a clamor of public execra¬tion, and the poor rich man,whose second most conspicuousbump was of tear, began castingabout for some way to take thecurse off himself.About that time he met an edu¬cator (William Rainey Harper)one of these typical Americancombinations of financial shrewd¬ness and moral fervor, a veritablewizard of a m o n e y-g e 11 e r, a“vamp” in trousers, a grand, im¬pressive, inspirational Chautau¬qua potentate. The old oil kingwas completely captivated. Wecan imagine him going home tothe privacy of the royal bed¬chamber, or wherever it is thatoil kings and queens exchangedomestic confidences. “Say,I.aura, I met a fellow today, bycrackle, he’s a wonder! He’s aprofessor of Semitics, or pyro¬technics, (professor of Hebrew atY'ale University, in the Yaleschool of language) or somethingor other, I forgot just what- buthe knows everything there is,and he’s going to build me auniversity and make me thegreatest philanthropist in Amer¬ica!”Oil Queen"Now John, "says the oil queen,"you better be careful and holdon to your money. The Lord isable to take care of people’s souls,and they don’t need this new¬fangled modern learning.”"That’s all right, my dear,” saysthe oil king but every businesshas to advertise. I figured outthat this is the cheapest yet. Andbesides, I always wished I’d hadan education, so that you and Imight get invited out to dinner¬parties, and not have everybodylaugh at us the way they do.”This oil king had a pathetictrust in education, as somethingyou could buy ready-made forcash, the same as a political ma¬chine or a state railroad com¬mission. If anybody tried to putoff on him an oil-field that hadgot salt water in, he would knowthe difference; but it did notoccur to him that there might befakes in education, or that apetroleum philanthropist mightnot be able to order the wholeof the human spirit, F.O.B. Chi¬cago, thirty days net.I picture the educational “he-vamp,” President Harper, callinginto consultation some fellow-faker in the architectural line.(Henry Ives Cobb) says the archi¬tectural wizard: “I suppose thisold bird will want somethingplain and economical — the big¬gest floor-space for his money.”“Not on your life,” says theeducational wizard. “He wantssomething he never saw before;he’s going in for culture. Youknow I specialize in these oldthings-Hebrew and Greek andAssyrian and Sanskrit and Egyp¬tian—”“How would it do to give hima row of pyramids?” says thearchitectural Wizard. 'Not* says the educationalwizard, "he would think that washeathen. He’s a religious old bird— a Baptist, like me; that’s howI got him, in fact—met him at anice cream festival.”“Oh, well then, it’s plain,” saysthe architectural wizard. “Whatwe want Is real old Gothic —stained-glass windows, mullioned,and crenellated battlements, andmoated draw-bridges—”‘That sounds great!” says theeducational wizard. “What doesit look like?”Office boys“I’ll have one of my office boysget you up a sketch this after¬noon,” says the architectural wiz¬ard. “It’s a good style from ourpoint of view, because it usesabout four times as much stoneper square foot of floor-space,and stone is where we get ourrake-off.”The university of Standard OilProvidence arranged it thatsoon after the University of Chi¬cago was built, the oil king’sdigestion gave out, and he retiredto the country to live on grahamcrackers and milk and play golfall day.

I don’t think I exag¬gerate in saying that out of ascore of faculty members I talkedwith on the subject of academicfreedom, not one failed to men¬tion Robert Morss Lovell as theUniversity’s certificate of eman¬cipation from Standard Oil. Outof the warmth of his big heartProfessor Lovett gives his helpto Hindoo revolutionists throwninto jail, and to Russian sweat¬shop workers clubbed over thehead by the police. I asked him toread this manuscript, and he tellsme that he thinks I am too severeupon the University. He wonders what he thought about the statusof his profession, and he gavethe best description of academicfreedom in America that I haveyet come upon. He said: “We aregood cows; we stand quietly inour stations, and give down ourmilk at regular hours. We arefree, because we have no desireto do anything but what we aretold we ought to do. And we dieof premature senility.” . , ,Noted novelistRobert Herrick (a novelist andprofessor) would, of course,never fall in urbanity and gra¬ciousness; but fundamentally, Ithink he is more pessimisticabout American education than Iam. He said: “Universities can’tget money except by gettinggreat numbers of students; sothey dare not set any higherstandards than rival institutionsin the same neighborhood. So theAmerican soul stays flabby; allthat counts is show, and in everydepartment you get by withsuperficial it}'. It is a lunch-counter system of education;read a novel and get a credit;then go out into the world, anduse your college prestige to makeThe campus area, as it appeared in 1914two billions was left to his effi¬cient subordinates, and they werenot so much interested in the oldman’s advertising ventures, sothat the university was left torun itself. Veblen describes itsspirit as “a ravenous megaloma¬nia.” For years President Harperfollowed the plan of buyingeverything he wanted, and send¬ing the bill to John D. But thatwas stopped, and now the run¬ning of the university is seen toby the usual board of interlockingdirectors, mostly elderly Baptists.They have had in past times somefirst-rate scientists; what theyhave now is a faculty of ageddotards, who set the tone of theplace, and the young men try toact dotards to the best of theirability.They arc sensitive on the sub¬ject of petroleum at the univer¬sity; they blush at the mentionof the word, and do not admit what I will have to say aboutplaces like Minnesota and Illinois,which are so much worse. Toavoid misunderstanding, let mestate that I have not been ableto find a single one of the greatAmerican universities which istruly liberal or truly free; butthere are degrees of badnessamong them, and the Universityof Chicago is one of the best.I have no desire to deny it duecredit, therefore I note ProfessorLovett’s comment — that duringthe early days of the universityPresident Harper stood for lib¬eralism in religion, and therebylost much Baptist money; alsothat the university made an en¬viable record during the war, inthat there was no interferencewith the private views of anyprofessor on this question.I talked with another profes¬sor at Chicago, who does notwant his name used. I asked him a fortune; and then give yourname to a college building. Wedo absolutely nothing for menand women who come to college,in the way of giving them trueculture, higher standards ofthought or conduct. I go to anyuniversity club and look over thealumni, and I see that we havegiven them no distinction — indress, in speech, in morals, inideas. Yon cannot tell them frombathtub salesmen or the agentsof barbers’ supplies you meet inthe lobby of the BlackstoncHotel.”Taught 29 yearsThe above is from a man whohas been teaching for twenty- nine years at the University ofChicago; and you may compareit with the pungent remark ofProfessor C a 11 e 11, who was ateacher for twenty-six years atColumbia: "The average univer¬sity club in America could moreeasily dispense with its librarythan its bar.”Little halls for radicalsThe touchiest problem with allacademic authorities is that of"outside speakers.” They can han¬dle their own professors; by carein selecting instructors, and weed¬ing out the undesirables beforethey get prestige, they can keepdangerous ideas from creepinginto the classrooms. But it alwayshappens there arc half a dozenstudents who come from Socialisthomes, and these get together andcall themselves some society with ^a college name, and start invitinglabor agitators and literary self¬advisors, to disturb the dignityand calm of scholarship. Thisputs the university administra¬tion in a dilemma; they aredamned if they do and damnedif they don’t. If they refuse tolet the radical propagandist in,there is a howl that they are re¬pressing freedom of thought; onthe other hand, if they do let himin, who can figure what million¬aire may be led to alter his will?There is always a little groupof disturbers at every large uni¬versity; and those at Chicagowere moved to invite Upton Sin¬clair to come to their campusand repeat his Wisconsin per¬formance. I was not present at1 lie consultation between thepresident of the University of('hicago and his loyal and effi¬cient secretary; but I have beenable to imagine the scene. You,understand, there isn’t a particleof prejudice against radicals, andwe have absolute freedom ofspeech at our university, we arewilling for the students to hearanyone they wish; but we decidethat we had better minimize thetrouble by confining this literaryself-adviser to a small hall, sothat students will not announcethe meeting, and the newspaperswon’t hear about it, and thewealthy trustees and donors maynot know what has happened.But the day before the lecturethere is excitement in our presi¬dent’s office—Upton Sinclair hasarrived in Chicago and has tele¬phoned askiag for an interview.(Continued on page 34)HOBBY HOUSE RESTAURANTwe specialize inRound-O-Beef and WafflesOpen from Dawn to Dawn 1342east 53 $t.Hey, PaisansWelcome BackPhonos3 MU 4-1014MU 4-1015MU 4-9022 Give Us n Ring.mud He’ll Deliver!5 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.Sun. to Thurs.5 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.Fri., Sat.ITALIAN FIESTA PIZZERIA1427 East 67th Street Welcome to our Universityfrompark’s ifluteatUmtmt iJlen’a (Eiotljutg ^tnreCorduroy Suits $32.50Natural Shoulder Suits,w.

Our presi¬dent’s secretary tries to smoothhim down—tells him what a greatnovelist he is, and how delightedwe are to have him speak at ouruniversity, and how, of course,there is no particle of prejudiceagainst radicals. Then he is takeninto the dark Gothic chamberwhere our aged president sits bythe dim light of arrow-proof win¬dows.Judson holds degreesHenry Pratt Judson has beenat our university since it wasfounded thirty years ago. and isa holder of ten college degrees,and a high interlocking directorin all the Rockefeller foundationsfor the guidance of American in¬tellectual life. Also he is the au¬thor of a manual for college presi¬dents entitled: “The Higher Edu¬cation as a Training for Busi¬ness,” a book which deserves tobo required reading for everycourse in educational administra¬tion. a standard guide to the artof persuading the rich to put upwith their money for mullionedwindows and crenellated battle¬ments and moated draw-bridges.There has to be somebody to keepthe interlocking directorate awareof the importance of culture, andHarry Pratt Judson is the boyfor this job; showing how a col¬lege education really does pay indollars and cents, and putting itin language so simple that thebasest pork merchant over at the “yards” can get the point. Saysour President Judson; “Men buyand sell not merely for fun, butfor profit.” and again: “A repu¬tation for honest dealing withcustomers is a valuable asset.”The Bolshevik author entersthe presidential sanctum, stillwith that evil seductive smile. Heexplains that he has spoken to miaudience of two thousand peopleat the University of Wisconsin,and fears that a hall seating onlytwo hundred people will not ac¬commodate those who wish tohear him at Chicago. He under¬stands there is a large auditori¬um, Mandel Hall, which seatsthirteen hundred—“Ah, yes,” says our president,with that urbanity which distin¬guishes him, “but we are accus¬tomed to reserve Mandel Hall forspeakers who are invited by theuniversity.”“Well,” says the Bolshevik au¬thor—could anyone imagine theimpudence?— “I should be per¬fectly willing to bo invited by theuniversity.”“I’m afraid that could hardlybe arranged,” says our president,as sweetly as ever. “Of course,Mr. Sinclair, you understand thatwe are quite willing for our stu¬dents to listen to anyone’s ideas;we have absolute freedom ofspeech at this university, but wehave our established traditionsregarding the use of our halls,and you could not expect us tomake an exception in your case.”“Well,” says the Bolshevik au¬thor, it would seem. PresidentJudson, that your idea of freedomof speech is that the radicals havea small hall and the conservativesa large hall.’*Urbanity doesn't wavesBut even that does not causeour president to waver in his urbanity.

On the eve¬ning of the lecture we go to thehall, and fifteen minutes beforethe time set we find a state ofaffairs — truly, we don’t knowwhether to be amused or irri¬tated. We can’t think how the stu¬dents managed to hear about thisunadvertised lecture, and it is adistressing thing to see so manyyoung people with a craving forunwholesome sensation. Theyhave packed the little hall: theaisles are solid with them: theyare hanging from our mullionedwindows, and blocking alj the cor¬ridors outside the many doors.And all the time more of themcoming.The Bolshevik author arrives, \accompanied by two or three pro¬fessors. We have always said thatthese “reds” ought to be kickedoff the faculty and now we seethe consequences of toleratingthem! The author shoves his wayto the platform, and—we tremblewith indignation even now as werecall his proceedings — he tellsthe students about his interviewwith onr august president, and wind. If they will go outside andsquat, he will come and talk tothem, and there will be plenty ofroom for everyone who wishesto hear his self-laudations.The students laugh and cheer—what can you expect of youngpeople, who have little sense ofdignity, and think this is a lark?They troop outside, and morecome running up from all direc¬tions. Never in the thirty yearsof our university has there beensuch a violation of propriety. Foran hour the man delivers a rank¬ly socialistic harangue to fifteenhundred students, and when hetries to stop, they clamor for himto go on, they crowd about himand ask him questions, and he iskept talking until eleven o’clockat night, telling our young menand women about strikes andgraft — all the most dangerousideas, which we have been work¬ing so hard to keep away fromthem!

We have a university papercalled the “Daily Maroon” whichthe radicals impudently dub the“Moron.” This paper next day hada report of the meeting, and itcertainly was delightful the waythey gave it to the oratorical au¬thor: “His talk was a more orless skillful combination of afrenzied street corner gathering(to be sure, there was no soap¬box), and a lecture in PoliticalEconomy on capital and laborand the feudal system. AH theold platitudes used for the lastdecade in liberal workmen’s pa¬pers were repeated.” You will notfail to appreciate the gentlemanlytone of float rebuke; and then,this most cruel cut of all: “Oneis tempted, too, to wonder whatkind of novels Mr. Sinclairwrites; if they are as full of mis¬takes in grammar as his addresslast night, his publishers mustbe gray around the temples.”Reading the above, we were somuch pleased that we sentmarked copies to all the directorsof the Standard Oil Company andthe packers, so that our friendsmight have proof that the betterclasses of our students do notread socialistic books.Incident endsThat was the end of the inci¬dent except for a trick which thewretched Bolshevik played uponus. Would you believe it, hewasn’t cowed by the rebuke ofthe “Daily Maroon,” but actuallytried to seduce our student bodynext afternoon by engaging in atennis match with the championof our university. Our championbeat him, though by an effortso mighty that it split his pants.But all the time the author wasbeing beaten, he kept up a hypo¬critical pretense of good nature,intending thereby to win the re¬gard of our young and unsophis¬ticated undergraduates. In thispurpose we are sorry to say heseemed to be successful, for thenext day the “Daily Maroon” atvpeared with a grave editorial,, inwhich it took back at least a por¬tion of the previous day’s well-deserved rebuke:Upton Sinclair plays tennismore pleasingly than he talks orwrites. Although he lost two setsto Captain Frankenstein yester¬day afternoon, he did it with agrace that does not characterizeIds books and speeches. He playedand lost Uke a sportsman.

Inthe end, however, to a rather uni¬versal surprise, the decisive ques¬tions seemed to .be resolved andthe 13th Congress emerged asone of the most liberal, delibera¬tive assemblies NSA has everhad.The Association, of which Chi¬cago is a charter member, tookstrong stands on such questionsas the “sit-ins,” Freedom of thePress, the student’s role in the to¬tal community, Cuba, the HouseUn-American Activities Commit-foe, compulsory ROTC, Algeria,the I.eo Koch case, fair employ¬ment policies, and over 100 otherissues.For the first time in manyyears the Chicago delegationfound itself voting with the ma¬jority on almost every question.NSA is a confederation of stu¬dent governments representing al¬most 400 accredited colleges anduniversities and some million anda quarter students. Its annualbudget exceeds SI.000,000. thoughless than $20,000 comes fromdues.This confederation was con¬ceived at a special conference heldat the University of Chicago in1916. It held its constitutionalconvention at the University ofWisconsin in 1917 and its legisla¬tive Congress has met annuallysince then. Though almost everynation does have a national unionof students, USNSA is by far thebiggest and the richest; its con¬ventions are much longer thanthose of any other union.Students roleEver since its inception NSAhas wrestled with the question ofits proper role. Everyone seems toagree that a national union is agood idea, but there has been nogeneral agreement as to whatsuch a union should do once es¬tablished. This question has dom¬inated every NSA congress; the13th was no exception, althoughsignificant strides were made to¬ward achieving an understandinghere.Generally, debate on this pointhas centered around the interpre¬tation of one key passage in theNSA constitution: “No body act¬ing on behalf of USNSA shallparticipate in sectarian religiousactivities or partisan political ac¬tivities; they shall not take partin activity which does not affectstudents in their role as students.”The two central questions arewhether the legislative Congressis a body acting on behalf ofNSA, and what precisely is therole of the student qua student.Many delegates hoped that thisconfusion is now resolved, for the13th Congress passed a Basic Pol¬icy declaration on the role of thestudent which essentially saysthat the student has an obligationto be concerned about all key is¬sues. Moreover, the resolutionreads:“USNSA »liall express consid¬ered and forthright positions onsuch of the major issues of theday as have come particularly tothe attention of students.” Chica¬go voted unanimously for this.A very special issue at this Con¬gress was that of the “sit-ins.”During the year the national offi¬cers had endorsed this movementstrongly and threw the resourcesof NSA solidly behind the protest.This involved a major policy de¬cision on the part of the officers.Support "sit-ins"Since the first sit-in demonstra¬tion occurred only on February 1of this year, the 13th Congressconstituted the first opportunityto consider the officers’ actions.Since the Congress is the supremelegislative body in NSA it had theeight to totally rescind the posi¬tion announced by the nationalstaff during the year. Naturally the “sit-ins” dominated the earlyparts of the Congress.That NSA did ultimatelystrongly endorse the “sit ins” sur¬prised no one, but the overwhem-ing majority that the resolutionreceived did come as somethingof a shock. The final vote was ap¬proximately 300 to 30. The Caro-linas Virginia region received athree-minute standing ovationwhen it voted 27-4 in favor of theresolution. That resolution readsin part:“Whereas USNSA, as a confed¬eration of student bodies, feelsrestrained from committing itsmembership to the practice ofmass civil disobedience becauseof the very personal kind of de¬cision such action entails, USNSAdoes wish, however, to express itsappreciation of this position astaken by many students in theirprotest against injustice and doeswish to express a profound re¬spect for the non-violent dignitywith which it has been performed.“Indeed, in a larger sense,USNSA can heartily agree withthe argument that when a seg¬ment of the population is deniedthe right of representation, theprocess of legislation ceases in ef¬fect to be democratic and the lawsthus created cease to be just andright with respect to our demo¬cratic ideals and principles.“USNSA. in like terms, reiter¬ates its impatience with the in¬veterate traditions of injusticewhich are elevated to the statureof legal mandates as mask fortheir immutability.”Schools resignSeveral southern schools hadearlier withdrawn from NSA inprotest over its endorsement ofthe “sit-ins”; included in thisnumber was the university ofSouth Carolina, the last segre¬gated institution in the Associa¬tion’s membership list. Severalmore resignations are expected.Despite protests from the Uni¬versity of Illinois delegation,USNSA also took a strong standon the questioning of the firingof Leo Koch from Illinois.The biologist w'as removedfrom his position as assistant pro¬fessor of biology for writing aletter which suggested that undercertain circumstances pre maritalIntercourse might be a good idea.This highly controversial letterappeared in the Daily Illini, stu¬dent newspaper at the university.The NSA resolution read, inpari: “USNSA affirms that it isnot only the right but also the re¬sponsibility of an individual loexpress what he believes to be thetruth. Such expression must notbe obscene or incitive in nature;however, such expression cannotl»e abandoned because of the con¬troversial nature or unpopularityof the beliefs affirmed.“The fearless pursuit of thetruth by the faculty member isessential if the university is tocarry out its function to perpetu¬ate and enlarge the sum total ofhuman knowledge, disseminatethis knowledge, and to cultivate aspirit of continuing critical in¬quiry. , . ,Professor s rights“USNSA believes that professorLeo Koch’s letter of March 18,I960, contained a sincere and hon¬est expression of his personal con¬victions. . . . USNSA asserts thatKoch was fulfilling his right andresponsibility to express what hethought the truth.”The Association was equallyspirited in its condemnation of theHouse Un-American ActivitiesCommittee asserting that “the in¬vestigations of the committeehave thwarted the very freedomwhich the Committee claims toprotect and preserve — freedomof assembly, of the press, and ofspeech. . ..“USNSA . . . urges the commit¬tee to restrict itself to its originalpurpose . . - that of investigationfor the purpose of initiating leg¬islation.”The resolution goes on to saythat unless the committee re¬forms itself it should be dissolvedby Congress.Copies of all NSA resolutionsare available for examination in the Maroon office and in the Stu¬dent Government office.The Assembly endorsed the es¬tablishment of Fair EmploymentPractices commissions (FEPC) byurging state legislatures to enactmeasures which will in effect in¬sure equal employment oppor¬tunities to all students by eschew¬ing discrimination on the basis ofrace, creed, color, or nationalorigin.In another resolution along sim¬ilar lines, the student assemblagecalled upon schools and studentgovernments to act together andattempt to prohibit racial restric¬tions in all university area hous¬ing.The 12th National Student Con¬gress, held a year ago at the Uni¬versity of Illinois, spent ninehours debating a mild resolutionon nuclear testing. A somewhatstronger bill had relatively tlon of the principles of free ex¬pression of ideas, these actionsbeing precipitated by public andprivate pressure.“USNSA urges students andfaculty to unite in countering pub¬lic and private pressures and tostrive for the removal of restric¬tions which hinder fruition of therealization of academic freedom.”A total re-examination and re-evaluation of the National De¬fense Education Act was request¬ed. Holding that “education is thekeystone of a free and democraticsociety,” NSA argued that “somelimited program expressly de¬signed to alleviate shortages ofscientists and technicians in theinterests of national defense is inthe national interest. But, whilerealizing the importance of de¬fense to the nation and the rela¬tion of our defense to education,USNSA believes that these needs co-ordinator for next year’s con¬ference.J i m Thomason, president ofstudent government, attended theStudent Body president’s confer¬ence (SBPC). This conferenceturned into something of a Fran¬kenstein’s monster by the end. Anumber of student body presi¬dents revolted against what theyconsidered the unrepresentativenature of NSA. They claimed thatthe entire legislative program ofthe Association hail been invalid¬ated by lack of campus contactAn emergency meeting of theNational Executive committee(NEC) was called to hear theSBPC complaints. The three-hourmeeting was attended by somefour hundred observers. In an at¬mosphere charged by threats ofdisaffiliation and withdrawal, thechallenges were issued, hurled,about, and answered.Representatives from member schools discuss student, national and international prob¬lems at the 13th congress of U.S. National Students association.smooth sailing through this con¬gress:“Students in their role as stu¬dents have an obligation and re¬sponsibility to provide for pres¬ent and future generations aworld climate which will “pro¬mote international understandingand fellowship.” What affectsstudents in other parts of theworld has an impact on the Amer¬ican student in his role as a stu¬dent.“The 13th National StudentCongress supports continuing ne¬gotiations at the Geneva confer¬ences to achieve a nuclear weap¬ons test ban. . . .

The officers of the Asso¬ciation felt that a strong anti-Castro resolution would effective¬ly destroy any hope for furtherSouth American relationships.Moreover, they felt that therewas a genuine lack of sound, validinformation on which to write aresolution.This stand was attacked fromboth right and left (albeit forsomewhat different reasons).However, the officers convincedthe majority of the delegates ofthe validity of their position andthe proposed Cuba resolutionpassed.In other international resolu¬tions NSA called for UN jurisdic¬tion over Southwest Africa (cur¬rently controlled by the Union ofSouth Africa under a League ofNations mandate); greater au¬tonomy and academic freedom forthe public schools on Okinawaover which the US Army exer¬cises a great deal of control, bothdirect and indirect; Algerian in¬dependence; and re-examinationof repressive anti-edueational pol¬icies established in the two largePortuguese colonies in Africa.In another bit of legislation thestudent delegates waxed quite bit¬terly over abridgements of andthreats to the free expression ofideas:Academic freedom“USNSA condemns all expul¬sions, incriminations, and repri¬mands which are in direct -viola- will best be met by aid to educa¬tion unrestricted except by con¬siderations of intellectual abilityand financial need.”The body also took a position oftotal opposition to the loyaltyoath and disclaimer affidavit pro¬visions of the NDEA. (The Uni¬versity of Chicago has now with¬drawn from the NDEA due to op¬position to the affidavit.)NSA had a word for the facultytoo. “The teacher is, in manycases, remaining silent on contro¬versial issues and confining hisrole to the mere dissemination ofinformation.Teachers role“We . . . ask that the teacherhave the courage to state what hebelieves to be the truth, howevercontroversial his beliefs may be.Only in so doing, can he complete¬ly fulfill his responsibility to notonly inform the student but toalso guide and inspire him.”In another declaration, intro¬duced by the Chicago delegation,NSA endorsed the principle thatcampus radio stations have thesame essential rights and respon¬sibilities granted to the studentpress and ought to have the samefreedoms.The Congress protested facultyoveremphasis on research, restric¬tive and arbitrary women’s dormhours, restrictive clauses in stu¬dent social organizations (wheth¬er written or unwritten!.The ten-day convention consistsof three days of non-legislativeworkshops, two days of legisla¬tive drafting subcommittees, twodays of legislative committees(there were a total of five) andthree days of congress plenarysessions. Each day’s schedule wasfrom 9 am until midnight. In addi¬tion, there were speeches and ad¬dresses scattered throughout theConference.Famous guestsAmong those appearing beforethe Congress were Victor Reuth-er, Charles Percy (Chicago trus¬tee), George Romney, and A1Lowenstein, former USNSA pres¬ident.Several special conferenceswere held in the five days priorto the Congress. Some 100 dele¬gates attended the Student Edi¬torial Affairs Conference; Dor¬othy Dorf and John Schuermanrepresented the Maroon. At theend of the SEAC Neal Johnston,editor of the Maroon, was elected Delegates domainThe essence of the argumentwas that the NSA delegates at theCongress were not elected or se¬lected on the basis of their inter¬national or political views. Con¬sequently, there was a mandateonly 10 consider issues local tothe campus. The NEC and the of¬ficers were charged with being a“power elite” who were attempt¬ing to force resolutions upon theAmerican student which did notreally represent the viewpoint ofthat student. (Chicago is one ofa mere handful of schools whichelect NSA delegates; at most in¬stitutions the delegates are ap¬pointed by the student govern¬ment.)These complaints were shovedinto the background, howeveronce the Congress commenced.In fact, the 13th Congress becamethe most liberal deliberative as¬semblage in NSA history.After the Congress adjournedsine die the remaining businesswas handled by the National Ex¬ecutive committee which contin¬ued meeting for four days. Some120 resolutions were pro nosed;almost 100 were referred to theNEC. 1 rrrjIn addition the post - congressNEC constructed the budget forthe next year. The Internationalaffairs commission operates ex¬clusively on foundation grants, soall of NSA’s free money is turnedover to the National Affairs com¬mission. This totals to somethingmore than $100,000 this year. Inaddition to its five full-time offi¬cers, NSA employs some 20 fulltime staff personnel.The Congress elected its newofficers at the conclusion of theCongress. Dick Rettig, of the Uni¬versity of Washington, was elect¬ed president. I>ast year Rettig wasWest Coast program viee-presi-dent. Jim Scott was elected Inter-national Affairs vice-president;Scott spent the last year as NSA’sParis representative. Tim Jen¬kins, a Negro from Howard uni¬versity is the new National Af¬fairs vice-president. Don Smith ofTexas and Dan Johnston of W’est-mar college are the East andWest Coast program vice-presi¬dents.

Mr. Krogman, business man¬ager of campus operations, when asked if this had resultedin a corresponding loss of passengers, replied “no, not at all.The number of passengers has been very close to the numberwho rode when the fare was a dime.” Krogman did admit, how¬ever, that the bus service still runs at a deficit but that there areno plans to either raise the fare or change the service in anyway.Bus tickets may be purchased at the bursar’s office, bookstore,attendant's desk at the Reynolds club, cashier’s office at Billingshospital, room 105 in Blaine hall, information desk at Internationalhouse, and receptionist’s desk at the Law school.

The paper work ofthe health record is establishedand certain screening tests aremade. The student’s height andweight are checked, and his vi¬sion, blood, and urine are tested.All this takes approximately onehour. Each student must then re¬port back to the Health servicetwo days later to get the result ofthe tests, to have the tuberculosisskin test read and to find outwhether any additional tests orexaminations are necessary.About half of the studentschecking back with StudentHealth achieve a health rating forphysical education of “A” (nolimitations on activity) and neednot return unless a more completephysical examination is desiredby the student himself, or unlessnew health problems arise. Forthe other half, additional studiesand a more thorough health ex¬amination are suggested.The Student Health facilities oncampus have access to Billingshospital equipment and consulta¬tion with the rest of the Billingsstaff. The University of Chicagois the only privately endowed uni¬versity in the country with suchcomplete hospital and medicalschool facilities located on cam¬pus.The Billings hospital complexloc ated on campus is made up offoundations ranging in scopefrom the Home for DestituteC rippled Children to the ArgonneV ancer Research laboratories. Ithas a multi-million dollar endow¬ment and plant value with a 509bed capacity. Student Health service is locat¬ed in the east wing of Billings onthe first floor corridor. A studentwalking in is greeted by the re¬ceptionist who makes an appoint¬ment with one of the physiciansor, if the case is urgent, sendshim to one of the hospital’s phy¬sicians for immediate diagnosis.Entering Student Health, a stu¬dent-patient is presented with a"service slip” which is stampedwith the time of the patient’s en¬try and lists his treatment afterhis doctor has seen him.Once an incoming student hasfilled out his service slip he talkswith the registered nurse on duty.The nurse looks at the student’spast record and turns him overto the proper physician if an ex¬amination by a doctor is consid¬ered necessary.The Student Health service hasits own laboratory and technicianswho are currently working in co¬operation with the World Healthfoundation in helping to plot andcheck the spread of any epidemicssuch as the recent spread of theAsian flu.In the case of fractures andother internal disorders, an X-rayis sometimes needed. Billings hos¬pital has the only automatic X-raydeveloping apparatus in this area.Built specially by the EastmanKodak company for Billings, thismachine greatly reduces theamount of time ordinarily con¬sumed by conventional develop¬ing methods. Doctor J. Allen Mar¬shall, assistant in the departmentof medicine and physician at theUniversity’s Student Health serv¬ice, reported that a student can beX-rayed and the finished printcan be processed, developed, anddried, ready for inspection within20 minutes.Marshall said that critical casesare treated in the emergencyroom at night. The StudentHealth service is open from 9 amto 5 pm on weekdays and 9 amto 12 noon on Saturdays. At othertimes the Emergency room at Bil¬ lings is available for helping stu¬dents with critical health prob¬lems arising during times whenthe Student Health service isclosed. The Emergency service islocated on Drexel avenue between58th and 59th street. Doctor Hen¬rietta Herbolsheimer, director ofthe Student Health service, urgesstudents not to misuse this serv¬ice."The staff should not be askedto devote tune and energy at oddhours for care of trivial orchronic conditions which could bejust as well handled during theregular daytime hours by the Stu¬dent Health service physician,”she said.In cases of serious illness or in¬ cident and sickness insurancewhich is low in cost and providesextensions in services available"SHS" warns students notto feed campus squirrels.They carry disease.Ellen Coughlin Beauty SalonS i 05 Lake Park Ave. Ml 3-2060SPECIALISTS IN HAIR STYLINGAND PERMANENT WAVINGOpen /Hon. - Sat. — 9 a.m. - 11 p.m. jury the University assumes fi¬nancial responsibility for the firstfive days that a student is inBillings as a result of any injuryincurred while at the university.Originally this protection extend¬ed to 14 days but in 1958, due toincreasing costs in maintainingthe Student Health service, hos¬pitalization coverage was reduced,Miss Herbolsheimer announced.At the same time universitystudents were first offered en¬rollment in a group plan for ac- by May Omurafrom the Student Health service.Dr. Herbolsheimer helped de¬velop this plan which is similarto the insurance plans at Harvard,Yale, Northwestern, UCLA, anda large number of American col¬leges and universities.The cost of twelve consecutivemonths of coverage ranges fromAa/AamVILLAGE APARTMENTS 737 East 83rd Now Leasing for Those Who QualifyChatham Park Village is a privately ownedgroup of apartment homes on a beautifultwenty-three acre site in the midst of Chicago’sexclusive Chatham Park.BEAUTIFULLY LANDSCAPED — 63 vine cov¬ered buildings.

Itprovides a maximum of 31 days:it starts with the eighth day forstudents with basic StudentHealth service coverage who arehospitalized in UC hospitals, andstarts with the first day for thosestudents who do not have basicStudent Health coverage or thosestudents who, because of absencefrom the city, require hospitaliza¬tion elsewhere.An additional service providedby Student Health is the mentalhealth clinic. Last year UC’s clinictreated 439 students, most ofthem referred by friends, residentheads who felt they couldn’t helpthe individual adequately, or bydoctors in Student Health.The clinic, located in Room S9,in Billings hospital has a perma¬nent staff of three psychiatric so¬cial workers, two psychiatrists,and one psychologist, ail of whomteach in the medical school.Mrs. Miriam Elson, a staff psy¬chiatric social worker, explainedthat, "When a student first comesto the clinic he talks to me or an¬other of the social workers; andafter the first interview, the staffdiscusses the student’s problemand the student is then assignedto a therapist. We decide whom tosend the student to on the basisof the nature of the problem, thestudent’s personality, and the per¬sonality of the therapist.”"Students come in here withproblems such as ordinary growthdifficulties, inability to study,hesitation about choosing theproper mate, picking a vocation,as well as more serious personal¬ity problems. Often our first jobis to convince the student that hisproblem is not too small to inter¬est us,” she stated.Along with personal discussionsbetween therapist and student,the university’s mental healthclinic offers group therapy ses¬sions. Dr. Morton Lieborman, astaff psychologist, explained that"in groups we work with five toeight patients and two therapistsat a time. Patients usually do notlike the idea of groups at firsLThey feel they will "hold back,”not tell the complete truth or feelself-conscious.”"And in the beginning, the pa¬tient is more self-conscious,” con¬tinued Lieberman, "but as thegroup continues to meet, it be¬comes more of a whole, and takeson characteristics and curativepowers of its own."Group situations,” added Lie-brrman, "provide an immediateopportunity for discovering newand more satisfactory ways ofrelating to people. Usually a pa¬tient can tell his therapist hisproblems without too much dif¬ficulty, and almost with defiance,for the patient knows that it’s thetherapist’s job, that the therapistwon’t be shocked. The patientfeels that he’s presented his prob¬lem — ‘now-here you are — cureme.’ But when a patient bringshimself to tell a group his diffi¬culties, this required and demon¬strated a greater adjustment inthe person,” said Dr. Lieberman."Group therapy,” he added,"doesn’t save the clinic money.The group meets twice a week, asopposed to once a week interviewsin individual therapy, with twotherapists, and five clients. Itcomes out almost the same.”In its entirety, the StudentHealth staff, headed by Dr. Henrietta Herbolsheimer, includes DrJames Cassidy, chief of staff; DrOlga Gilleegly, Dr. Alphonse Gnilka, Dr. Jaul Kuhn, Dr. B.

The building mustbe designed to fit the program; the program must come first, the building later.”Edward Levi, dean of the Law school, feels that the school’s new building, located on thesouth side of the Midway, is well suited for the program. The new building was dedicated ayear ago this week, and has been in use by law students and faculty since then.Before the new building was built, a committee of faculty members was appointed tomake recommendations as to theAbove is the quadrangle in which the old Law schoolbuilding, now called Business East, is located. ideal “plant” for a law school. Thecommittee made their recommen¬dations on the basis of experience,Hillel full program both at UC and at other universi¬ties.“The new building representsexactly what the faculty commit¬tee wanted,” Levi stated. “The of¬fices of the faculty are builtaround a central stack core. Thisis important because it will givethe professors immediate accessto all books. We have also locatedThe B’nai B’rith Hillel foundation at UC has been serving Jewish students and faculty faculty offices near each other,for nearly two decades. It is the aim of Hillel to further the knowledge and appreciation of since discussion is such an im-Jewish religion and culture; to provide Jewish students with facilities for the expression nortant aspect of the stud:of their comnjon interests; to establish an all-inclusive Jewish community framework forstudents of varying interests, study ofopinions, and beliefs; and to co¬operate in the inter-faith programof the University chapel and thegroups affiliated with it.Towards the fulfillment of theseaims, the Hillel foundation has afull program planned which willinclude Friday evening firesideconversations, discussions by rab¬bis, faculty members, and outsideguests on problems of Jewish andgeneral interest; coffee hours,literary discussions and book re¬ views by faculty members andgraduate students, and specialguest lectures. There will also bestudy groups and seminars, He¬brew and Yiddish courses andconversation groups, informal eve¬nings of dramatic readings, andsocial and recreational programs.Sabbath and holiday worshipservices are conducted at Hillelhouse.

The same plan of facultyoffices was followed in the oldbuilding, which also had all class¬rooms opening on a central con¬course, a plan which has beenfollowed in the structure.“The problem with the oldbuilding is that it is no longerlarge enough to provide the class¬room and library space that weneed,” Levi said. “We never reallywanted a new building, but therewas no alternative, as expansionof the old one was impractical-“We try never to have one classimmediately following another inthe same room,” he continued,since after-class discussions areone of the most useful parts ofthe program. But in the old build¬ing, where classroom space wasscarce, this was often impossible.”Levi considers the addition ofthe Weymouth Kirkland court¬room, where students can hear"good arguments in actual casesand see the law in operation, oneof the best features of the struc¬ ture. There was no such facilityin the old quarters."The increased amount of roomnow at our disposal has made iteasier for us to coordinate workbetween our Legal Aid clinic andthe school itself,” Levi noted. Theclinic, which is made up of 40 stu¬dents, used to be located at 63rdstreet and Woodlawn avenue, butnow has its headquarters in theLaw quadrangles.After a year of work in the newbuilding, Leri feels that the onlymajor problem is the lack of airconditioning in the classroomwing of the school. “Classes wereunbearable during the summer,”he said.However. Levi is generallypleased with the school’s newquarters, which he called “a won¬derful facility for legal education.The building is unusual in thatstudents have the run of it, theydo not have to stay in any onesection to do research.”The new building has built-infacilities for expansion. It wasconstructed so that two additionalfloors can be added at any time,and the field in back of it caneasily accommodate an additionalw’ing. The library now is filledonly to half its capacity. “Sincethe accepted figure is that law’ li¬braries double in size about everytwenty years,” Levi pointed out,“we should have that long beforewe have to consider further ex¬pansion.”However, Levi cautioned aboutbecoming self-satisfied about thenew building. “There is an oldsaying that a school goes down¬hill when it gets a new building,”he said.**CO«f f A •tftliTfCQ f»A0C-MAA*.

The observant vulture,however, cosily ensconced in his fur-lined aerie on twelfth floor ad-building is forced to emit his breed's ultra sonic cry ofanguis at^ is s abby calumny. Where, the wrathful vulture demands, were these doleful wasteland wanderers when Univer-andCMoliere?OUS *)ro^Ja^e 9°dchild, Court theater, filled June, July, and August evenings with Shakespeare, Soph-On campusTheoterOn a bare stage atop a fountainthat hasn’t flowed since W. R.Harper conned Rockefeller out ofthat first million, a dedicatedgroup of artists each summer pro¬duces a series of rarely performedclassics. During the six year his¬tory of Court theater these playshave enjoyed modern and excit¬ing re interpretations by as a di¬versified a collection of perform¬ers as ever sweated under greasepaint. Students, professors, pro¬fessional actors, South Statestreet strippers, psychiatric socialworkers have all lent their con¬siderable, individual talents to aventure that is probably unique inthe history of academic theater.Out of a similar pot pourri thispast summer developed theCourt’s most successful season todate. The plays were Henry VUI,Oedipus Rex, and Moliere’s Scap-ia; the productions, themselves,were original, and, most signifi¬cantly, the audience response wasecstatic.Thus, tomorrow and Sunday’srevival of Seapin at some expenseby a far-sighted orientationboard, could be termed "by pop¬ular demand.” Not only w’ill itafford an opportunity for thosewho enjoyed the show so im¬mensely in July to relive a finetheater experience, but it will atonce demonstrate to the place¬ment-groggy neophytes that thiscommunity of scholars is almostas stimulating as the admissionsoffice would have us believe.The play revolves around theamorous misadventures of a cou¬ple of Neopolitan (yes, Neopoli-tan) fops whose fathers believethat sex should be indulged inonly under parental auspices,with parentally selected objects,purchased with parental lucre.Of course, this entails the neces¬sary encumbrance of holy wed¬lock which the fops tend to dis¬parage. Through the connivanceof an obliging pair of scoundrels,the comic fatuity of the fathers,and the inherent desire of allwomen for a sanctified marriagebed, love, as we all should knowit, triumphs. These ingredients ofhigh farce utilizing the sponta¬neity of commedia dell’arte makeSeapin a splendid choice for re¬vival and an auspicious beginningfor University theater’s regularseason.

Chris¬topher Fry’s translation, RobertHelpman’s direction, and VivienLeigh’s mere presence unite in asardonic display of point counter¬point at the expense of conven¬tional morality. Virtue is shownto be self-destructive and Viceits sharpest and most necessarycomplement. Artistic integrity be¬ing what it must be, the honorbright vulture must dolefully rec¬ ommend Girardoux’s play, eventhough it closes tomorrow nighton the precise evening when ourbeloved Seapin returns to Mandelhall. Indeed, this constitutes amost difficult choice; perhapsproximity is the answer.To certain purists, mentioningShelley Berman and Marcel Mar-ceau in the same sentence is likecoupling Pius XII with Billy Sun¬day.

Also sought is hisPott office clerk RichardAllen, when asked to de¬scribe the robbery,, said"get out of here before Ipunch you in the nose." accomplice, for whom no descrip¬tion is available.The theft fror.i the Post Officeclerk’s stamp di iwer was not de¬tected for approximately threeminutes, enough time for the twomen to escape through the crowd¬ed bookstore. The pair attractedthe attention of Dempster S. Pass-more, bookstore manager, as theyloitered around the Post Officecounter.Passmore telephoned campussecurity guards and then wentfrom his office to the Post Officearea. Finding the two men gone,Passmore asked Mrs. MarieO’Byrne, the clerk who had beentalking to the man in the greenshirt, if any money was missing.Mrs. O’Byrne checked andfound that money was indeedmissing from her stamp drawer.Campus policemen arrived atthe bookstore minutes after Pass¬more’s call. “As we arrived,” saidsecurity chief Tony Eidson, “wesaw two men leaving through theside entrance to the bookstoreand getting into an automobile.We tried to chase them but theygot away fast. They were drivingan old tan car with no licenseplates.”Mrs. O’Byme told police: 'Twas standing at the east end ofthe counter talking with this fel¬low who was telling me a com¬plicated story — something abouta package that his wife was sup¬posed to have mailed. “In describing this package, hereached for my box of money or¬ders to illustrate the size of hispackage. I automatically movedthe box out of his reach.”Asked if she had thought theman’s actions were unusual, Mrs.O’Byrne stated, “I did think therewas something funny about hisstory, but after all, we get a lotof funny people in here.”While Mrs. O’Byrne was thusoccupied, and clerk Richard G.Allan was kept busy waiting oncustomers, the second, unidenti¬fied man went unnoticed as hetook money from the stampdrawer at the west end of thecounter.Officer Eidson noted that themethod of operation, known as a“till-tap,” is commonly used. Hementioned that a recent robberyat Billings hospital was executedin this manner.Evidence that the robbery waspre-planned was provided byCharlotte Johnson, clerk at thecigarette counter, directly oppo¬site the post office. Miss Johnsonsaid, “I had seen the men aroundthe store several times in thepast. I had always thought thatthey were employees of the Uni¬versity."Other employees of the book¬store who also worked at nearbycounters said they were complete¬ly unaware that a robbery wastaking place, and knew nothingabout it until police arrived. —Photo by LyonTwo members of the cast of 'Scapin' rehearse for to¬morrow night's production.O-board presents 'Scapin'University theater and O-board present Court theater’sproduction of Moiere’s Scapin.The play was performed thissummer by Court theater inHutchinson court, and receivedexcellent reviews.
