Thephilosophy of the public schoolsystem has upheld residential seg¬regation. and has used the con¬cept of the neighborhood school asa justification for its inaction,” hesaid.He added that the communityschool must be seen in relation tothe intent “to achieve a racial bal¬ance in the schools.”He reviewed the various com¬plaints voiced against the Board’spolicies.

Thecourse, philosophy 203 [“problemsof philosophy”] tries to give thenon-philosophy major “a broadview of many philosophical prob¬lems - a broad as can be given inone quarter,” Hill said.He explained that rumors to theeffecl that the OMP (organiza¬tions. methods, and principles ofknowledgcl course might be dis¬continued have no basis at thepresent time.“Discontinuing the course wasdiscussed last year,” said Hill, “but it was decided then that thecourse should be retained.“We have a new group of mindsin the staff now,” he added, “andI would consider it quite possiblethat more discussion of radicallychanging OMP or discontinuingit might1 be forthcoming.”He said the new “Problems ofphilosophy” course is the onlycurriculum change this year, butthat he expects more will be madelater.“I am still not entirely satisfiedwith the College philosophy cur¬riculum, and we will be workingon improvements throughout theyear,” he explained.Maroon staff meetingThe Maroon will elect an editorial board at its staff meetingthis afternoon, and will discuss several important constitutional andorganizational mattters. cIt is therefore extremely important that al! new and old staffmembers attend.

But thereare other Mayakovskys, ultimate¬ly more significant as phenomenaof literature, among them a lyricand tragic Mayakovsky and asatirical, mocking Mayakovsky. Itis the last who shows himself inthe play “The Bedbug,” writtenin 1928, two years before histragic suicide.“The Bedbug” was Mayakov¬sky’s first attempt at a stage playin prose. The new form wasneeded to express a new mood:a mood of dismay and disillusion¬ment, partly brought on by thestate of affairs in Russia in 1928.Mayakovsky had accepted therevolution — mythicized it, onemight say; for him it was a kindof cosmic revolt against all theforces of vulgarity, stagnation,an'd paltriness of spirit which hadever warped human life and pre¬vented it from developing its truepossibilities. These forces helumped together under the Russianword byt, meaning “everydaylife,” which for Mayakovskymeant the eternal dreary, sordid,inescapable realities of kitchens,backstairs, dirt, domestic squab¬bles and squalid aspirations which fill the lives of most people. Thisbyt seemed to be the creature ofthe bourgeoisie and its system,and Mayakovsky wanted a tran¬scendent revolution which wouldtransform not only the externalforms of 'social organization, butthe human spirit itself, cleansingit forever of the “bourgeois”horrors of self-interest, vulgarity,pettiness, and tastelessness.It is this recrudescent, “petty(continued on page 6)' foreign car hospital & dinkdealers in:N * m9• morris• austin• riley• lambretta5340 s. lake parkdo 3-0707service clinic: 2306 e. 71 stmi 3-3113bob testermg psychiatristWatch theNew “HYDE PARK SHOPPING CENTER”November 16thITALIAN FIESTA PIZZERIAspaghetti • beet • sausage and meatball sandwichesFree Delivery Over $2.00MU 4-9022,1014,1015 1427 East 67th St.CORVRIO-T 1961.

Thejoint degree AB, while represent¬ing an excellent philosophy of edu¬cation, was frought with adminis¬trative dangers. There was con¬fusion as to just what courses astudent had to take. Indeed, inmany cases, students had courseswhich they normally would havebeen held for dropped by dint ofan oversight.We felt, at its inception, thatthe New College might well beable to embody the best of theold system in a workable program.Unfortunately, after two years ofthe program’s operation, we nowsee that much of what we hadhoped to see did not, indeed, cometo pass. Quite the contrary, theNew College introduced a greatmany new and, perhaps, mcme ser¬ious problems.The major announced change inthe new curriculum was the re¬duction in general education re¬quirements from fourteen compre¬hensive examinations to twentynine quarters. Of these requiredquarters the student is expected toplace out of fixe, thus establish¬ing what is, in essence, a two yearprogram of general education.Possibly the most importantchange in the College has been thereduction of the amount of gen¬eral education requirements. Thereduction has been heralded withbeautiful sounding phrases suchas “the Old College was too mono¬lithic. Today we must meet so¬ciety’s demand for increasedspecialization, and at the sametime allow students a greaterchoice of what courses they musttake.”These words sound very nice.Unfortunately, they overlook oneof the cardinal principles whichwent into making the Universityof Chicago College one of thegreat institutions in America someyears ago. This is the belief thatit is not society and its needswhich should influence the uni¬versities, but rather the universi¬ties which should influence society.What our civilization needs now isnot people who can build betterbridges, but thinking men who cangive our existence some meaning.We want not men who can buildthousand megaton bombs, but menwho can think for themselves.This change in attitude mustcome from our institutions of high¬er learning, for it is they whichmust produce thinking men. While the desire to allow stu¬dents freedom in choosing coursesis noble indeed, it neglects theprimary function of an educator,implicity accepting as fact thattwenty-year-old students know asmuch about what they shouldlearn as do deans and professors.While making the faculty’s joban easier one by alleviating thenecessity of determining a generalprogram, the free elective systemopens the door to a great manyevils.It has long been known by manyeducators that students are likelyto lake a course because it isgiven at a convenient time, or be¬cause the instructor is known asa witty fellow, or because itsregistration line is shorter thananother course’s. This can leadonly to chaos and a lack of articu¬lation as to what the educatedman should be. Is it as valuableto take a philosophy course asa music course? Or should anadditional physical science se¬quence be substituted instead?Nobody denies that there aresome things a person should know-before other things, but the elec¬tive system seems to forget thisprinciple. When • a year of any¬thing is allowed to count towardthe award of a degree, the in¬trinsic superiority of some discip¬lines is neglected.It is an admittedly difficulttask to consolidate three years ofgeneral education into twro. Somecuts have to be made, and therewill always be discontent aboutwhat is discarded. There do, how¬ever, seem to be a good manycomplaints about the manner inwhich the current problem washandled.Dropping of a required course inphilosophy (Organization, Meth¬ods, and Principles of Knowledgewas the required philosophy courseof the Old College) strikes us asabsurd. While it is true thatstudents do read some Aristotleand Plato in humanities two, andsome Rousseau and Locke in so¬cial science 1, there are tremen¬dous areas of human thought withw'hich it is possible to have nocontact whatsoever. Have Aquinasand Descartes and Kant andSpinoza lost their importance? Ifnot, why is it possible to be ad¬mitted by the University of Chi¬cago into the ‘society of educatedmen’ without having studied theirideas ?Alan Simpson, dean of the Col¬lege, once remarked that not allstudents are able to benefit froma course in philosophy. Sincephilosophy is, by definition, an examination of knowledge, a dis¬cipline dealing with ideas, it wouldseem to be that which every stu¬dent who can learn at all canstudy. Should we substitute factsfor ideas? The idea seems ludic¬rous. Or should we study bio¬logical truths, or musical truthswithout discussing the nalure oftruth itself? Again a preposterousnotion.Many of the previously existingcourses had a basic philosophicalorientation; there was an exten¬sive study of the basic principles ofeach discipline. But his orienta¬tion has, we fear, shifted; *thereseems to be an emphasis on facts.The biology course, for example,now concentrates on learningabout plants and animals. Before1959 these facts were backed upby a third year of the naturalscience sequence, in which a phil¬osophical discussion, aimed at de¬fining the meaning of the course’ssubject matter, was undertaken.This course is no longer required;nothing has replaced it. There isan optional third quarter of thebiology sequence, but not everystudent is required to take it.We fear this trend away fromphilosophy; it can do more thanalmost any change to ruin w'hatwas a great university.But there have been otherchanges. The comprehensive sys¬tem seems to be going by theboards, replaced by the almosttotal freedom of the staffs ofindividual couraes to decide howstudents will be graded. For ex¬ample, while social science 1 stillworks on the comp system, Englishhas chosen the "cumulative comp.’Under this set-up grades awai-dedon the basis of work done througheach quarter are couni ed in deter¬mining one grade of record forthe w'hole course. Biology, onthe other hand, counts each quar¬terly grade as a separate gradeof record.The comprehensive system, est¬ablished at the beginning of theadministration of Robert MaynardHutchins, is one of the most bril¬liant of educational programs,both in conception and in execu¬tion. It freed higher education inthe United States from the horrorof the belief that a student be¬came educated by spending a cer¬tain number of hours in a class¬room and then spitting back whathe could remember of what histeachers had told him.The comp system, instead, re¬quired that a student attain com-j>etence in a discipline. He wasnot tested on the facts he hadlearned in class and his abilityCHRISTIAN SCIENCE: The Open DoorTo The Kingdom of HeavenA LECTURE byELBERT R. SLAUGHTER, C. S.of DALLAS, TEXASMember of the Board of Lectureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist,in Boston, Massachusetts,4:15 p.m.All are Welcome MONDAY. NOVEMBER 6. 7967in SWIFT HALL — COMMON ROOMSPONSORED BY CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ORGANIZATIONAT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO to repeat them, but rather on bisunderstanding of a field of study.If a student had read ‘Othello’ forhumanities 1 he could be testedon ‘Hamlet’, for it is the under¬standing of tragedy as a form andnot of the misfortunes that befellthe Moor which is the object ofthe course.Many people objected to thecomps because an entire gradewas based on only one examina¬tion, and this examination coversan entire year of work. But, ifwe adopt the view (which hasnever been denied) that it is whata student knows after taking ayear of work that is important,we are left with no alternativeto the comprehensive examina¬tions. What difference dot's itmake if the student is two weeksbehind his class after a month ortwo of work? It is his ability todemonstrate mastery of a discip¬line after taking the course thatis significant.The comp system seems to bedj ing, a fact which w e must re-luctafitly realize. But it is nottoo late for the trend to change.We sincerely hope it does.One of the most widely recog¬nized and lamented features of theNew College is the irrti-oductionof mitigation. If a student fails toplace out of the ‘expected’ fivequarters (and many students do,indeed, fail) they are ‘mitigated’out of enough courses to allow'them to complete their generaleducation requirements in twoyears. Thus, many students arenot held for courses in whichthey have, nonetheless, displayedinadequate competence. There are large ‘holes’ in many students’programs, areas in which theyhave not met the requirements ofeven the watered down New Col¬lege. It is unfortunate enoughthat students can graduate with adeficiency in a non-required coursesuch as philosophy; it is com¬pletely ridiculous that he can re¬ceive a degree with qq inadequatepreparation in a required fieldsuch as social science.Several suggestions have beenmade to alleviate tftis problem.One involves making the place¬ment tests easier. This involvesa lowering of standards whichwould be tragic. Another wouldcreate a required ‘core’ of only24 courses, abolishing the place¬ment tests. This would, perhaps,be even more regrettable. Itwould render complete the changein emphasis from mastery of dis¬ciplines to hours spent in class. Itpresents the problem of cuttingdown on course requirements, ineven more acute form. It rejectsthe principle, accepted sine) thedays of William Rainey Harper,that students should be allowed toproceed as rapidly or as slowly astheir competence permits. In short,it creates a good many more prob¬lems than it solves.One of the most commonlyheard solutions holds that the‘core’ of courses sliould be reducedto twenty four, but that place¬ments should be maintained. Whilethis solves one problem, it does in¬troduce the tremendous difficultyof cutting down on the ‘core,’ a(continued on page 5)Editor-in-chiefJay GreenbergBusiness manager Advertising managerRaymond Mitchell Ken HeylManaging EditorAvima RuderEditor emeritus Ken PierceExecutive news editor Gene VinogradollCampus news editor Laura GodofskyNational news editor Michael ShakmanCity news editor Faye WellsAssistant news editor Gary FeldmanCopy editor Suzy GoldbergCulture editor Dorothy SharplessFeature editor Judy ShapiroPhoto coordinators Dan Auerbach, A1 BergerPolitical news editor Ron DorfmanSports editor Chuck BernsteinSecretary to the editor Carole-QuinnEditorial stall: Harry Adler, Alix Cromelin, Sheldon Nahmud, Mike Rivard,Jane Rosenberg, Ronnie Rosenblatt, Murray Schacher, Robert Trostle,Jane Whitehill.Sports stall: Mike Canes, Mike Eisenberg, Maitland Griffith.Business stall: William Baslie, junior, Betsy Ebert, Marie Gottschalk, Phi)Hyde, Steven Klein, Jean Maclean, Nate Swift, Bob Wilson.Issued every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday throughout theUniversity of Chicago school year and intermittently during the summer monthsby students of the University of Chicago.

We can seejustification and even a necessityin the enforcement of such intel¬lectual discipline as is found ina core curriculum, in such socialdisciplines as are necessary tomaintain order in the classroom."The process of education doesrequire some minimal level ofmder and discipline.”If we are to consider the pro-blem seriously, we must endeavorto define clearly those areaswherein a university administra-ior may properly act to ensure"some minimal level of order anddiscipline," carefully distinguish¬ing this from those instanceswhere university intervention is infact improper interference, incon¬stant with the real aims of edu¬cation. It is clear ’that certain stand¬ards of behavior must be enforcedfor a school to function at all.Classes must not be regularlyinterrupted by mass demonstra¬tions careening through the halls;a library reading room is not avery suitable place for either afraternity wienie-roast or for apolitical soap-box harangue; aprofessor would seem to have aright to insist unon an atmosphereof silent attentiveness in his lec¬ture halls.If a university acts to maintainsuch necessary decorum, it Is notbeing paternalistic. If it fails toact so it is being irresponsible. Ifit insists upon such decorum toorigidly, it is in danger of beingtvranical.- The touchstone is in determiningwhether a university would insistupon such rules because it feelsit must protect its students, orwhether it feels it must protectitself from debilitating internaldisorder.It is no more paternalistic toinsist uj)on quiet in the class roomthan quiet in the court room.The in lo«*o parentis documentacknowledged that the universityhas at least one great responsibili¬ty in addition to the fairly simpleone of maintaining order. It mustalso maintain standards.The NSA resolution “. . . callson faculties and administrationsto open the universities to fullerand more meaningful student par¬ticipation in those university andcommunity affairs which shapestudent life and development.These include the content of thecurriculum, methods of teaching and procedure of forming totaluniversity policy . . .”But, while the resolution insiststhat students have a proper roleto play here, it goes into no de¬tail to explain ihe nature of thatrole.In the ceremonial process ofgraduation, successful bachalaur-ate candidates are admitted “intothe society of educated men.”Such “admission” - while admit¬tedly symbolic — should not betaken lightly. The question mustbe asked of the competency of thestudent to participate in this pro¬cess Ox defining, through the cur¬ricula, the components of an edu¬cated man.NSA correctly recognizes a jus¬tification "and even a necessity”for a core curriculum. It is care¬fully not specific about the pro¬per extent of this curriculum, orthe role students should be per¬mitted to play in the construc¬tion of this "core.”It is clear that the legitimateresponsibilities of an educator tohis students include the establish¬ment of certain minimal require¬ments; it is not in itself paternal¬istic for an institution to insistthat its students submit to theserequirements.The problem remains that ofadequately defining this responsi¬bility and of assessing for our¬selves the minimal qualities of ameaningful education, the mini¬mal order which must be enforcedto readily secure that education.These are problems which wemust now work out and solve forourselves.Course reduction opposed(continued from page 4)difficulty which is impossible toovercome.Perhaps the most intelligentsolution to the problem would bemerely to abolish mitigation, sub¬stituting nothing. Thus, if a stu¬dent entered UC with inadequatepreparation he would have tos,>end more time here. This makesa good deal of sease. If one stu¬dent has to learn more than an¬other, he should spend more timeat the University.It. is certainly true that perhapsfewer students would come hereunder such a system. But wemust never forget that it is adesire to please the public, to at¬tract ‘customers’ to any business,which has led to mediocrity (andto downright inadequacy) in somany phases of American life.A committee to review the col¬lege curriculum has recently sub¬mitted its report to the Collegefaculty. While leading UC ad¬ministrators do noc expect a' hange of the magnitude of the1958 report which lead to the• stablishment of the New College,or of the 1953 recommendation>o abolish the awarding of thetwo year BA, the faculty doeshave the power to institute majorreforms. We would like to brieflyexpress what we feel are the majorproblems of the present program,<md the manner in which we be¬hove these can best be overcome.It, should be realized that twoMars of general education justar*' not enough. While it is true, in•he words of Hutchins, that “nomatier where we stop we cannever produce a man who willnever have anything more to learn,” it w'ould seem that we cancome a good deal closer than wenow do. It is not unreasonableto expect of our graduates aknowledge of philosophy. It is notunreasonable to ask a thoroughfamiliarity with the history ofWestern civilization. It is not un¬reasonable to require completeacquaintance with the principlesas well as the facts of the nat¬ural sciences. Rather than beingunreasonable, it is absolutely nec¬essary if we can once again callthe undergraduate program of theUniversity of Chicago “excellent.”We hope that the committee willreexamine the impending deathof the comp system, and the sub¬stitution of, in many cases, grad¬ing by teachers. Grading of thestudent by his teacher has histori¬cally lead to a highly subjective,and equally invalid, organization.Teachers are not exempt from per¬sonality conflicts, and in all toomany cases these conflicts havehad an effect on a student’s grade.The impersonal objectivity of thecomprehensive examination is but another argument, for the system.And, finally, we hope that miti¬gation will be looked upon, withso many others, as just a try thatfell way short of the mark. Wedon’t advocate giving up easily,but there seems to be little thatcan be done with the system.In next Friday’s issue we willdiscuss what have proven to becorollaries of the New Collegeplan. These include the requiredresidence rule, the single F rule,and, generally, the restrictions im¬posed on the manner in which astudent prepares for his examina¬tions.. We hope, and trust, thatthe College faculty will consider -these problems in their delibera¬tions.We have no objection to thespirit of experimentation in whichthe New College was tried. In¬deed, it is in this spirit that theUniversity of Chicago was estab¬lished; and it is without this spiritthat no university can be great.But, in the same spirit, we askthe faculty to realize that theexpirement has changed, that itis now time to correct one of thegreat mistakes in UC’s history.Different Russian movie every weekFri. and Sat. 8 p.m.; Sun., 3 p.m.Student Rates.

This is, of course, an infamous canard, andI give fair warning that, small and spongy as I am, anybodywho says such a dastardly tiling when I am around had betterbe prepared for a sound thrashing!Girls go to college for precisely the same reasons as men do:to broaden their horizons, to lengthen their vistas, to drink atthe fount of wisdom. But, if, by pure chance, while a girl isengaged in these meritorious pursuits, a likely looking husbandshould pop into view’, why, what’s wrong with that? Eh? What’swrong with that?The question now arises, what should a girl look for in ahusband. A great deal has lieen written on this subject. Somesay character is most important, some say background, somesay apjiearance, some say education. All are wrong.The most important thing—bar none—in a husband is health.Though he be handsome as Apollo and rich as Midas, what goodm he if he just lays around all day accumulating bedsores?The very first thing to do upon meeting a man is to makesure he is sound of wind and limb. Before he has a chance tosweet-talk you, slap a thermometer in his mouth, roll back hiseyelids, yank out bis tongue, rap his patella, palpate his thorax,ask him to straighten out a horseshoe with his teeth. If he failsthese simple tests, phone for an ambulance and go on to thenext prosjiect.If, however, he turns out to be physically fit, proceed to thesecond most important requirement in a husband. I refer to asense of humor.A man who can’t take s joke is a man to be avoided. Thereare several simple tests to find out whether your prosjject cantake a joke or not. You can, for example, slash his tires. Or bumhis “Mad” comics. Or steal his switchblade. Or turn loose hispet raccoon. Or shave his head.After each of these good-natured pranks, laugh gaily andshout “April Fool! If he replies, “But this is February nine¬teenth,” or something equally churlish, cross him off your listand give thanks you found out in time.But if he laughs silverly and calls you “Little Minx!” puthim to the next test. Find out whether he is kindly.The quickest way to ascertain his kindliness is, of course, tolook at the cigarette he smokes. Is it mild? Is it clement? Is ithumane? Does it minister tenderly to the psyche? Does itcoddle the synapses? Is it a good companion? Is it genial? Isit bright and friendly and filtered and full of dulcet pleasurefrom cockcrow till the heart of darkness?Is it, in short, Marlboro?If Marlboro it be, then clasp the man to your bosom withhoops of steel, for you may be sure that he is kindly as a sum¬mer breeze, kindly as a mother’s kiss, kindly to his very marrow.And now, having found a man who is kindly and healthyand blessed with a sense of humor, the only thing that remainsis to make sure he will always earn a handsome living, That,fortunately, is easy.

The act¬ors are mostly college students, ofcourse, and their youthful infec¬tiousness rose above the roughspots 'in the technical work, theinconvenience of a stage too smalland subsequent collisions withstage hands and what seemed tobe over-abundant stage props.The first half of the play de¬picts, as Hugh MacLean has saidabove, the racous vulgarities ofpetty boui-geois life. The group ofmerchants in scene one sportinggloriously fussy costumes, andselling ornamental trash to in¬nocent, gullible Prisypkin, set thetone for the first act of the play.The act had its climax in therollicking marriage feast of Prisy¬pkin and his buxom bride. Thestage was filled with quite con¬vincing drunks, from Prisypkin(Robert Reiser) and his oily-suavetutor of culture (Jerry Mast), to the gorging bride (Joan Acker-manl and her fussing, franticmother (Carol Horning). Com¬plete with a Russian Charleston(written by third year student,Bob Applebaum), the scene cameoff the ramp-like stage as a beau¬tiful orgy of the byt.The second act did not succeedas well in imparting to the aud¬ience the spirit of the times, then1979 (50 years later). Reiser wastouchingly bewildered amidst thewhite-coated scientists whocouldn’t grasp the meaning of thatthing that used to be. the “soul,”but those acting as the citizens of’79 were not sterile enough tomake the contrast biting: whatjoy was in the Zoo Keeper’s eyeas he and his staff cavorted afterthe bedbug; one might, have saidthey had been bitten by the epi¬demic.The closing scene, with its ap¬peal to the audience to placehumanness even above life (if thatlife is mere existence), ended theplay on a strong note, thanks tothe naturalness of the Zoo Keeper(Willard Moody), and the mobileface of Reiser.Dorothy Sharpless Wedding scenes 'vulgar'(continued from page 3)bourgeois” byt which Mayakovskysatirizes in “The Bedbug.” Thehero. Prisypkin, a “former worker,former Communist, now a bride¬groom” (he has changed his namefor the sake of “elegance” toPierre Skripkin—“Mr. Violiner”)is about to marry a berouged andbuxom manicurist named sym¬bolically and pretentiously Elze-vira Renaissance. The weddingpreparations .scenes I and II •are a veritable orgy of vulgarity,the purest essence of byt: buttons,trousers, herring, canaries, fur-lined brassieres.The wedding party marks theultimate surrender of the ex¬worker Prisypkin, to the idealsof Miss Renaissance. The partyends in a vulgar, drunken brawl,during which a stove is over¬turned. The house bursts intoflames. In the next scene semefiremen report that all thosepresent have perished; only onecorpse (Prisypkin’s) is unaccoun¬ted for. In scene V we are transportedinto a mysterious world of fanci¬ful machines and futuristicscientists. Fifty years have passed;it is 1979. The world has nowbeen unified under a single com¬munist state. In1 a town in“former Russia" a block of icehas been unearthed in whichscientists discern the figure of aman frozen there fifty years be¬fore. They believe he can be re¬vived ; however, the medicalauthorities fear an epidemic ofthe long extinct disease of syco¬phancy and snobbery. The frozenmammal is Prisypkin, now aliving relic of a bygone age; andon his body, an even more tellingsymbol of 1929 byt, is found abedbug.At first it seems as if thedoctors’ fears would be justified:considerable numbers of 1979 citi¬zens develop a mysterious fond¬ness for two fluids recreated bychemists to appease the cravingsof Prisypkin’s ancient organism.Their archaic names, “beer” and"vodka”, come into use again. But eventually progress triumphs andthe two specimens, Prisypkin andthe bedbug, are placed togetherin a cage in the zoo for the citi¬zens to marvel at. Special filtersprotect the spectators from poss¬ible contamination. The man-likecreature, the director of the zooconcludes, is not really a man,but a specimen of an extinctspecies called Philistiniiis vulgarisHe, together with his parasite,Bedbugus normally are found inthe “decrepit mattresses of time.”“Bedbugus normalis, having eatenand drunken its full on the bod\of a single man, falls under thebed. PhilistinluK vulgaris, havingeaten and drunk its fill on thebody of all mankind, falls on thebed. That’s the only difference !”The spectators gasp in horror atthis glimpse into the barbarousdarkpess of .the past as thecurtain falls.Mayakovsky collaborated in theoriginal production of the play,first performed at (he Meyerholdtheater in Moscow on February13, 1929. \kV*4i♦' "LIVES OF GREAT MEN".

GreenwoodBU 8-2083 SC charter flightA $27.50 charter flight for University of Chicago students toNew York City has been scheduled for December 15.Student Government (SG) has organized the TWA 80-seat049 Constellation flight, which will leave from O’Hare airport inChicago and go to Idlewild in New York.A chartered bus will make the trip from the campus to O'Harefor one dollar. This is approximately half the cost of regulartransportation.A $10.00 down payment for the flight must be made by No¬vember 15. The remainder will be due on December 1.The recent cancellation of the -half-fare plan for college stu¬dents by five major airlines has led to SG’s scheduling of thisflight to aid the many students who are unable to return homeduring the interim because of the “prohibitive cost’’ of travel.Last year’s similar flight was cancelled because of an insuffi¬cient response.Those desiring further information about the flight may callthe SG office at extension 3273 or 3274 Monday through Fridaybetween 12 and 1:30 pm. ,Other intramurals beginIntramural director Chet Mc-Graw is still uncertain of the num- DEUTCH’S RESTAURANTSpecializing in Jewish Style CookingCorn Beef Kreplach, Matzo BallCheese Blinfzes Gefillfe Fish807 EAST 47th STREET WA 4-98001 CLOSED SUNDAYSforeign ear sales•*eo Page 3 Jimmy’sand the Neiv University RoomRISERVED EXCLUSIVELY FOR UNIVERSITY CLIENTELEFifty Fifth and Woodlawn Ave.UNIVERSITY QUICK LAUNDRYQuality Laundry and Dry Cleaning ServiceLaundromat • Shirts • Flatwork10% UC DISCOUNT on All ServiceCONVENIENT PICK-UP AND DELIVERY1024 E. 55th St. (Across from Pierce Tower) PL 2-4097Does Unitarianism Meet Your Needs?roundtable discussionsTonight at 8 p.m. 5638 WoodlawnStudents and faculty InvitedDR.
