University of Chicago, August 11, 1961Drama conference studiesAmerican theatre crisisBy Laura Godofsky and Avima Ruder“Theatre is a national expression. It is the voice of the community where the members ofthat community can speak out their joy, grief, ebullience, anger and sorrow.” Thus HaroldClurman, Broadway director and producer, described the place of the dramatic arts inAmerica today.Clurman gave the keynote address of the Midwest Theatre conference, “Dialog: TheAmerican Theatre Today,” held on campus last weekend.The conference included a se- — —— — : ;—ries of six discussions about the should not ** stncken from ex- tive organizations that are grow-theatre. speeches by Clurman, Jo istence if there aren’t human be- ing up in the theatre.

LeonCarnovsky, professor in the grad¬uate library school, and StanleyQuinn, assistant director of theUniversity library, have served asan advisory committee to selectthe core of the libraries’ books.In addition to a group of stand¬ard reference books, each librarywill contain fiction and non fictionbooks not normally on coursereading lists, said James Newman,assistant dean of students.Will furnish libraryPart of the budget committee’sappropriation will be used to buyshelving and furnishings for thelibraries. A second sum will bemade directly available to stu¬dents in the dormitories to chooseadditions to the library. A furthersum to be set aside, will not beavailable until the autumn of 1962.Then, said Newman, studentsshould have a better idea of howthey want their libraries to ex¬pand. This sum will be supple¬mented in subsequent years.Some 458 lounge chairs, one foreach student room in Pierce Tow¬er and New Dorm, will be pur¬chased with the appropriation. Inaddition, 30 "seven foot,” extralength beds will be purchased forEast House. The East House bathrooms willhave two innovations: urinals andelectrical ouPets for shavers. Onemight infer from these changes,said Newman, that the New Dormarrangement of two women’s andone men’s house is permanent.The dining room of the NewDormitory will be acousticallytreated with 3600 square feet ofpanels to absorb sound.In addition, the practice roomsand study rooms in Pierce towerand New Dorm will receive anacoustical treatment.Plan noise experimentsDuring the year, sample roomswill be used to try out the acous¬tical engineer’s suggestions foreliminating noise in the corridorsand rooms.Another part of the commit¬tee’s appropriation will be usedto furnish 15 basement rooms inthe new dorm. Eight will bestudy rooms. Three will be prac¬tice rooms, equipped with newpianos, music stands, and chairs.A $2000 gift from the class of1911 will be used fer one of thesepractice rooms. The appropriationwill enable the other two to bebuilt.There will be comfortable chairsfor listening placed in the twobasement hi-fi rooms. All 15rooms will get floor rugs.According to Newman, as muchwork as possible will be com¬pleted by the beginning of autumnquarter.The list of improvements to bemade is based on recommenda¬tions made by the Intercourtcouncil at the New Dorm. JohnNetherton, dean of students, AlanSimpson, dean of the College, andNewman, working from the list,met with Chancellor Beadle, whoapproved the broad outline of theproject.NDEA faces Congressional perilCritic-philosopherKenneth Burkeropean or community theatre.Clurman stated that the dichot¬omy of art and success made theAmerican people "schizoid.” “Wehave a human desire to expressourselves, we f&el it and we showit,"* he continued, “but we alsohave the theory of show business— has the show made a profit; ifit hasn’t made a profit it stinks.That’s reasonable, that’s logical,and everyone who believes in theConstitution of the United StatesWill agree with it!”Clurman outlined the effect thispremise of financial success hasUpon actors, producers, and play¬wrights, who are afraid that anonetary loss is an artistic loss.Expression has gone under¬ground like a disease or a sub¬versive element,” he proclaimed.Clurman pleaded that we endour present attitude toward art“We must make it possible,” hestated, “for the theatre to besaved.

It is one of the threemajor aid to education acts thatPrsident Kennedy wants thisyear.The NDEA, originally passed in1958 for four years, providesloans and fellowships for morethan 400,000 college students. Inaddition, it contains grants tostate and private schools for thebetterment of instruction in sci¬ence, mathematics, foreign lan¬guages, and engineering.If Congress does not revise andrepass the NDEA this year, theloan provision and certain otherparts of its programs will lapse.Educators and Congressmen infavor of the NDEA had expectedlittle difficulty in obtaining repas¬sage of most of the NDEA thisyear. But all of the administra¬tion’s aid to education programsbecame jeopardized when Cath¬olics demanded It include a pro¬vision for aiding private and paro¬chial schools. The President statedrepeatedly in public that he feltsuch federal aid would be uncon¬stitutional. Catholic congressmen,regardless of political party, coun¬tered by refusing to approve anyaid to education measures untilthe administration agreed to sup¬port actively a bill to aid parochialand non-public schools.NDEA put offAdministration officials and keydemocrats in the House and theSenate decided to hold off on aidto education legislation until othermajor portions of the President’slegislative packet are passed.Observers believe that the ad¬ministration felt that pushing theeducation bills on unwilling Cath¬olic Democrats might jeopardizethese other measures by destroy¬ing the narrow majority the Ad¬ministration normally commandsin both houses.Only the foreign aid bill re¬ mains before all of the President’sproposals, except aid to education,will have been acted upon. Thismeans that the NDEA, the firstof three major education bills,will probably be acted upon withinthree weeks, according to mem¬bers of the House and Senate edu¬cation subcommittee.Senate less divisiveCharles Lee, a staff member ofthe Senate subcommittee on edu¬cation, said the religious prob¬lem is less divisive in the Senatethan in the House, and that theNDEA will be voted upon in theSenate first to give best chanceof passage. The bill will be man¬aged on the Senate floor by Sen¬ator Wayne Morse (D. Ore.),chairman of the education sub¬committee. Lee said Morse and ad¬ministration supporters of theNDEA believe that the act hasbeen “of real benefit to highereducation” and to education atlower levels. The President andother NDEA supporters stressthat Congress must revise andrepass the act if loans and otherNDEA programs are to maintainadministrative contiguity.They point out that some stu¬dents may be forced to drop outof school if the loans are abruptlydiscontinued, since other sourcesof funds cannot readily be found.Senator Morse and other mem¬bers of the education subcommit¬tee did not include the controver¬sial disclaimer affidavit in therevised version of the NDEA,He joined with then Senator Ken¬nedy and Senator Joseph Clark(D., Penn.) in repeated attemptsto remove the affidavit.The affidavit must be signed byall students applying for a loanor fellowships. It states that they“do not believe in” principles sup¬ported by the Communist partyor other “subversive organiza¬tions.”Educators and some studentsobjected to the affidavit becausethey felt a student could notswear disbelief and maintain thespirit of free inquiry which theybelieve is essential to the educa¬tion process.Chancellor Beadle spoke out against the affidavit in his in¬augural address. Former Chan¬cellor Kimpton removed the Uni¬versity from NDEA programs asa protest action against the affi¬davit. The revised version of theNDEA includes in place of theaffidavit a section stating thatany student who “is a member”of an organization “defined assubversive” by the Hatch act of1950 is subject to five years im¬prisonment and a fine up to $10,-000 if he receives NDEA aid.Lee said some Senators felt thatthis provision was little betterthan the affidavit. They includedit, however, because they felt thatthe failures in the past to removethe affidavit indicates some loyal¬ty provision would have to beincluded to give the NDEA achance to pass.Other major changes in therevised version of the NDEA in¬clude the placing of many of itsprograms, including the Loan andFellowship program, on a perma¬nent basis. In the old version, allprograms were continued for fouryears, and were then subject to renewal by Congress.The fellowship program wouldbe greatly expanded by the hewversion. The 1958 Act made 1500graduate fellowships available an¬nually to students “in new or ex¬panded” fellowship programs, andgave their schools $2000 whichwas to help develop the newcourses.The revised version of the billwould make $2,500 available an¬nually to graduate students inthe new and expanded program.The $2000 grant to schools at¬tended by fellows taking new andexpanded courses will be contin¬ued. There would be no grantsto schools attended by studentstaking standard graduate courses.The new version would greatlyexpand the NDEA loan program,most of which is used to helpundergraduates meet their ex¬penses. The present version ap¬propriates $90,000,000 annually tothe loan program. This would beexpanded to $125,000,000 annual¬ly. The other major programsof the NDEA wouid also be ex¬panded by the new version.Antibiotic discoveredChicago educated micro¬biologist Nicholas Grecz hasdiscovered a new antibioticwhich may have wide ramifi¬cations in the medical world. Theantibiotic, produced by a goldencheese bacteria known as Brovi-bacterium linen (b-linnen), wasdiscovered while working on aproject for the National CheeseInstitute.The project began in 1951 whena San Francisco man died ofbotulism after eating a jar ofcheese spread. The NationalCheese Institute, desirous of pre¬venting such deaths in the future,gave a grant to the University’sFood Research Institute for astudy of this probelm.The study headed by G. M.Dack and R. D. Wagenaar notedthat there had never been a caseof food poisoning from limbergertype cheese. Furthermore it had been noted that yeast growthson these soft rind cheese van-ished suddenly and for no appar¬ent reason at a certain point inthe ripening process.Grecz went to work to discoverthe reason for this and isolatedB-linens as the cause.Though Grecz places moreweight on the theoretical knowl¬edge gained in the area of cheeseripening processes, there may beimportant pharmacutical uses forthis antibiotic. Grecz has foundthat the chemicals produced byB-linens are equally effective ininhibiting tuberculosis than allother bacteria which he hastested. But, it is not yet knownwhat effect this drug will haveon humans when injected intothe blood stream. Research on thedrug has been turned over to theElli Lili pharmacutical companyEditor's column LetterEditor differs with Berlin Notes Berlin moralityeditorial, asks for negotiationsThe editorial in the last issue of the Maroon en¬titled "The President: Berlin and Europe’’ was writ¬ten in the absence of the editor and completelywithout our knowledge. In fact, upon returningto Chicago, we found ourself taking vigorous ex¬ception to many of the points made.Behind the words of the editorial lies the premisethat limited war is a satisfactory solution to theBerlin situation. It is this premise which we cannotaccept. War is never a satisfactory solution toanything; it must not be resorted to except inthe face of immediate danger to the existence ofthe United States.We have no objection to President Kennedy’sannounced increase in our armed forces in Berlin.Rather, we question the conditions under whichthese forces will be used.The people of the United States must never losesight of the fact that our primary goal in Berlin,as in any international crisis, is peace. The writerof the editorial, with President Kennedy, seems tofeel that dire consequences will result if the UnitedStates agrees to negotiate with the Soviet Unionon any basis other than the reunification of Ger¬many. This would be very nice if possible, but itobviously is not. Both we and the Russians willhave to make concessions before negotiations canbegin, concessions which must be made in thename of peace.Our position on Berlin is based largely on the1945 Potsdam agreement between the UnitedStates, Russia, and Great Britain. This treaty hasbeen broken on many occasions by the UnitedEditorial States, e.g., when we agreed to rearm West Ger¬many. Of course, two wrongs do not make a right,but it is a little late in history for righteous in¬dignation over Soviet violations.However, even if we were to stipulate that wecannot condone violations of the Potsdam agree¬ment, are these violations worth going to warover? We must remember that by agreeing tonegotiate on a mutually acceptable basis we arenot discarding our rights, such as they are, in Ber¬lin. Rather, we are submitting to the only possiblemeans of avoiding a war which would almost with¬out doubt be total.We find no objection to the President’s desireto use troops to negotiate from a position ofstrength. If we are not prepared to meet the hor¬rible possibility of war our words at the conferencetable have no meaning.But we detect, in both the President’s speech andthe editorial, a most regretable tendency to playwar games, to match the Russians man for manto protect our world image. We must realize indoing this that we are dealing with some 250thousand people. These young men, students, work¬ers, are being called away from their jobs, fromtheir homes, to play soldier in Berlin.We must remember that while we do needtroops to assure the success of our negotiationfor peace, the troops are necessary only to supportthese negotiations.Our goal is peace. It is a goal which we mustnot lose sight of in the confusion of any crisis.Jay GreenbergEditor, Chicago MAROONStudents reject generosityAt the recent Midwest Theater conference, held at UC and directed by William Alton, director of Uni¬versity Theatre, students were given a special discount admission rate of $12.50. This was a package deal,including three UT productions and several lectures. No student was allowed to attend any of the lec¬tures without purchasing a ticket for the whole conference.We praise the magnanimity of the conference’s directors in making available tickets at such a rea¬sonable rate. In past events of this nature, unless lectures were expected to be severely overcrowded,students were allowed to “audit” free of charge. (The theater conference was not at ail overcrowded.There were ample extra seats.)While we do praise the generosity of those running the conference, we do take alarm at the smallnumber of students who availed themselves of lectures at this nominal charge. Perhaps students, whowe are sure would have flocked to the conference, and indubitably even profited from it had it beenfree of charge, were thinking of the ever-rising cost of attending the University of Chicago when theydecided not to attend.It is most unusual for the Maroon to find itself criticizing students and praising the administration.But we must give credit where credit is due.LetterDiscusses 4our rights’ in BerlinDear Mr. Editor:Your last editorial on the Ber¬lin crisis was so thoroughly fal¬lacious that only a complete re¬write of recent history can sup¬port it. You suggest we adopt afighting posture over “our rights”in Berlin; what these rights areor where they come from is con¬veniently omitted.Presumably these rights de¬volve from the Potsdam Agree¬ment, the only treaty ever signedby the West and the USSR vis-a-vis Germany. This treaty doesnot guarantee us the right todesignate the government ofWest Berlin. Our only “guaran¬tee” is the right to station troopsin West Berlin; to my knowledgethis has been challenged by noone.The whole point of the four-power partition of Berlin was toTAl-SAM-YfcNCHINESE - AMERICANRESTAURANTSpeciolizing inCANTONESE ANDAMERICAN DISHEfOpen Daily11 A.M. to 10:30 P.M.ORDERS TO TAKE OUT1318 East 63rd St. BU 8-SNM8 provide an administrative capitalfor a single Germany. What dili¬gent Maroon researchers failed toexplain was that the West orig¬inally violated this pledge for acentrally administered Germany.In 1948 the three Western powerspooled their sections and estab¬lished the (West) German FederalRepublic — against strong pro¬tests from the Soviet Union. In1952, and again in 1954, the SovietUnion proposed to hold confer¬ences to end the ever-growingdivision of Germany into twoseparate states. Both times thesuggestion was refused, once onthe grounds that the suggestedconference date was too soon. In1959, the first Soviet note to raisethe Berlin question complainedthat it was no longer sensible tomaintain the Berlin concoction asthe administrative center for twoGermanies. This, of course, wasnever mentioned in President Ken¬nedy’s speech, or by diligent Ma-Yoon truth-seekers.Today West Berlin is not, asour State Department suggests,an integral part of West Germa¬ny. It prints its own postagestamps, for example, and sendsonly one representative to theFederal Bundesrat, and he maynot vote. West Berlin is, rather, a disembodied “Stadt,,” an an¬achronistic reminder of a treatythat no longer is. Kennedy’s pro¬posal to mobilize America to de¬fend our self-professed “rights”in West Berlin is not only his¬torically incorrect, it borders oncatastrophe.Further provisions of the Pots¬dam Agreement, aside from ad¬ministrative unity, call for Ger¬many — all of Germany — to beforever demilitarized and denazi¬fied. It is common knowledgenow that more than half of Ad-enaur’s cabinet is composed offormer Hitler officers, includinghis gentlemanly “personal assist¬ant” — Hans Globke — formerchief of the “racial questions de¬partment” under Hitler. It is alsocommon knowledge that WestGermany is now as thoroughlymilitarized as ever Germany wasunder Hitler, even to the point ofreceiving U. S. nuclear weapons.If Mr. Kennedy is ignoring thesegross violations of trust in hisdemands for “personal sacrifices”over tenuous Berlin rights, he iswarm-mongering, and doing noth¬ing more. What is needed is awillingness to negotiate the rem¬nants of a treaty destroyed by ourown bad faith.Name withheld Sir:I assume that last issue’s edi¬torial on Berlin was written toconform to the conservative for¬mat. I hope that like the format,the editorial position was just abad joke.What Kennedy is attempting todo in Berlin is to perpetuate theanachronistic guarantees of analready-broken treaty. As a mat¬ter of form, we are still at warwith Germany (both halves): topreserve the forms the Presidentis prepared to go to war to pro¬tect an ally with whom he insistswe are at war. Of course, neitherthe Pi'esident nor anyone elsereally believes that we are at warwith Germany, and to avoid hav¬ing to say what I have just writ¬ten he has chosen to make anissue of “our right to be in Ber¬lin.”To the best of my knowledge,no one has ehallenged “our rightto be in Berlin.” What Krushchevhas said is that he will recognizethe sovereignty of the Ulbrichtregime in East Germany. WhatUlbricht has said is that he willstop the flow of refugees fromEast Berlin into West Beilin. Mr.Kennedy says this would be im¬moral, and he is perfectly correct.It says so right in the Charter ofthe United Nations, and if thereis one thing that Mr. Kennedy isfor it’s the Charter of the UnitedNations. He is so upset about allthis immorality that he says thathe (we) is prepared to die de¬fending righteousness.The problem is that there areseveral levels of morality involvedhere, and that to boot the Presi¬dent is a hypocrite. To take theminor matter first, just whatwould Kennedy say shouldKrushchev threaten to bomb usif we do not repeal that provisionof the Communist Control Actwhich forbids Communists andmembers of “Communist frontgroups” to leave the country (oreven to ASK to leave the coun¬try?As for the larger problem ofinternational morality, the ques¬tion we must ask ourselves is,“How far are we prepared togo?” I will forego for the presentthe rather more fundamentalquestions of the inherent immor¬ality of any war, and of the sheerblasphemy of the destruction ofcivilian populations. But we seemto acquiesce in the Soviet Union’s restrictions of the right to travel.Will we tell Russia that unlessshe observes what we considerto be fundamental limitations onthe power of any State over itscitizens we will engage in a HolyCrusade against her? For thatmatter, would we demand thatof Spain or Portugal, of SouthAfrica or Yugoslavia? Would wemake that demand even of Missis¬sippi or Alabama? Obviously not;there are questions of politicalexpediency involved, and wevery well might find ourselvesfighting most of the world, in¬cluding many of our present al¬lies.But how can one speak of hav¬ing principles of morality whichare tempered by political expedi¬ency? We obviously have no prin¬ciples; we have little more torecommend our collective don-science than our own inordinatepride and arrogance. All thewickedness and stupidity oftwentieth-century nationalism aresummed up in our President’sspeech. Our position in Berlin,the President said, is no moreuntenable than was that of theheroic defenders of Stalingrad.He wisely cited no statistics.We are not preparing for warin Berlin because we see aboutto be perpetrated there gross in¬justice. We are preparing becauseamong other reasons, our nation¬al pride has been hurt, becausewe are so rich that we have noth¬ing better to do with our money,and because we have no new ideasand very few ideas of any kind.We are preparing for war be¬cause we have been taught thatwhen someone looks at its cross¬eyed we are supposed to hit him.Let us offer the world not en¬trenchment and immobility, but aconstructive alternative. Let usconjointly with the Soviet Unionrebuild East Germany to removethe cause of the exodus. Let ustogether conquer space and probethe atom, together mine and farmthe oceans.Let us, at least, have peace.Prometheus(Ed. note—This and severalother letters on the MAROONBerlin editorial have been re¬ceived during the past week.An editor’s column concern¬ing the editorial appears onthis page.)Editor-in-chiefJay GreenbergBusiness managerWilliam G.

Swords clashed, horseswhinnied, and campfires flick¬ered as Court Theatre pre¬sented Henry IV, Part I. Theproduction, directed by JamesO’Reilly, was effectively done.The play deals with the unsuc¬cessful attempt by Henry Percyand his father, the Earl of North¬umberland, to wrest the thronefrom King Henry III.A skillful abridgement o fShakespeare’s history left themajor plot lines unhampered,while eliminating some scenes be¬tween Falstaff and the thieveswhich are superfluous on thestage. O’Reilly’s abridgement in¬cluded those scenes important tothe delineation of major char¬acters.One fault of the production,however, was a certain slownessabout the beginning of the play,which disappeared with the ap¬pearance of Falstaff.Court Theatre made full use ofall available space for staging —perhaps excessively, as one’s at¬tention was drawn from the stageby devices such as a bonfire nearRyerson hall. Extravagant costuming andpageantry as well as a live horse,were used to the greatest ad¬vantage in a silent parade of thePlantagenet forces.Robert Benedetti played Fal¬staff to perfection. He and MartyRoth, as Henry Percy (Hotspur),were the best performers.The other members of the cast(with two exceptions), led byJerome Ixrob as King Henry, Den¬nis Eubanks as the Prince of Wales, Durward McDonald as theEarl of Worchester, and DavidIngle as the Earl of Northumber¬land, were uniformly good.
