POUT suggests replacements Despres speaks tomorrowSeven POLIT members,three independents, and twomembers of the University-Party were chosen Sundaynight by the POLIT caucus to re¬place the eleven POLIT membersand one independent wlvo were re¬called from the Student Govern¬ment Assembly last week.The caucus made its choices inthe form of recommendations tothe four POLIT members who nowcomprise the SG Executive Com¬mittee. The committee, which willmeet at some time before nextTuesday’s SG Assembly meeting, isconstitutionally empowered to fillall vacancies in the Assembly.The POLIT members who havebeen chosen for seats are RichardSchmidt, Mike Kaufman. Ron Dorf-nian, Joan Mahoney. Barbara Car-ress, Carol Vogel, and HarrisJaffe, The independents are Rich¬ard Risk, Steven Rosen, and A1Sussman. Beverly Splane and BillKlecka were chosen from a list of12 names submitted by the Univer¬sity Party. The list was drawn upat the UP caucus earlier in theevening.The caucus, which was attendedby nearly 60 voting members ofPOLIT and some 50 observers,“bound” the Exec members to seatthe POLIT members, and “recom¬mended” that they seat the in¬dependents and UP members. TheExec members must either votefor the POLIT choices or abstain.They are not obligated to oast anyparticular vote on the independentsand UP members, although it isexpected that they will seat all thecaucus choices.The Exec, which consists of thefour officers and six committeechairmen of SG. lost six of itsmembers in the recall. The remain¬ing four are Arthur Mac Ewan,President of SG: Pam Procuniar,chairman of the Student-FacultyRelations Committee and the onlySG member voted upon who es-caped recall; Jay Flocks, chair¬man of the Elections and RulesCommittee which ran the reoall;and Steve Boyan, chairman of theCommittee on Recognized StudentActivities.Members of the caucus seemedin agreement that it would be“irresponsible for POLIT to let thegovernment get out of its control.”They felt that in order to enablePOLIT to fulfill the platform uponwhich it was elected last spring,it would be necessary to replacethe recalled members primarilywith POLIT members.Despite an argument that, “whena majority of your College delega¬tion is recalled, you must considerit a repudiation of POLIT,” thecaucus apparently interpreted therecall as a vote against the Cubanresolution rather than as a voteagainst POLIT’s program.The reoall would not have beenconfined merely to those POLITmembers who voted for the Cubanresolution had the campus wantedto protect all of POLIT’s activities,argued several caucus members.A number of independents whoattended the caucus, on the otherhand, maintained that while POLITwas justified in not interpreting therecall as a mandate to * put itsopposition, UP, into SG. POLITshould interpret the recall as amanifestation of the campus’ de¬sire for “new blood”—new repre¬sentatives who belong neither toPOLIT nor to UP.UP members at the caucus, onthe other hand, claimed that theyshould be seated, since the campushad voted along the lines of itsposition on the Stagg scholarshipsand the recall.With the votes of the sevenPOLIT replacements for the re¬called representatives and with thevotes of David Nelson and MurraySchacher, two graduate studentswhom the Exec was mandated toseat to fill two graduate SG vacan¬cies, the remaining members ofPOLIT in the Assembly will still beable to muster a majority of the50 votes.Although the SG records werenot too clear, it appeared thatSaturday's special issue of theMaroon, giving results of the recalland referendum, is inserted as asupplement."Kay Russell" in the listing ofvote results is really Russell Kay. POLIT will retain 25 or 26 or theAssembly’s 50 seats.Before choosing the SG replace¬ments. the caucus defeated a pro¬posal that the selections be post¬poned in order to allow any studentwho might wish to be seated topresent his name for consideration.Interested students could have at¬tended the caucus or might workon SG projects without actuallyhaving a seat in the Assembly, itwas countered.After the defeat of this proposal,however, any student attending thecaucus who wished to be con¬sidered for an SG seat was allowedto place his own name in nomina¬tion. About six students did so,none of whom was seated.Several of the recalled represent¬atives were nominated for reap¬pointment, but all declined.The caucus also recommendedto its SG Assembly delegates aslate of officers to fill the ExecCommittee vacancies.Jay Flocks, who announced hisintention to resign from the chair¬manship of the Election and RulesCommittee, was slated for VicePresident. Dave Nelson was slated man; and of Len Friedman as edu¬cation director.Also. Arthur MacEwan urgedPOLIT members to start thinkingabout non-SG party activities, suchas peace action. He announced thatDagmar Wilson, head of Women’sStrike for Peace, will address ameeting of Voters for Peace nextTuesday.Miss Wilson testified before theHouse Committee on Un-AmericanActivities’ recent hearings on al¬leged subversion of the US peacemovement. Independent AldermanLeon M. Despres will speaktomorrow at a luncheon spon¬sored by the Divinity School.Despics is opposed in next month’saldermanic race by Chauncey Esk¬ridge.Despres has the support of thefifth ward chapter of the Independ¬ent Voters of Illinois; MarshallKorshak, the Democratic wardcommitteeman: Benjamin A d a-mowski, Rupublican candidate formayor; and United States Demo¬cratic Senator Paul Douglas. Democratic Alderman KennethCampbell of the 20th ward haspledged his support to Eskridge.Several members of the fifth wardDemocratic organization also favorEskridge.The race is generally regardedas one of the most important inthe city since it has caused amajor division within the Demo¬cratic party.The luncheon will take place inSwift Commons at 12:30. Interestedpersons may make reservations inSwift Hall. The cost of the lunchis 65 cents.Val. 71 — No. 58 University of Chicago, Tuesday, January 29, 1963 ^for treasurer, and Joan Mahoneywas slated for secretary.Richard Bisk was slated to suc¬ceed Flocks as E & R chairman:Richard Schmidt, who has beenworking with CORE on its neigh¬borhood open occupancy project,was slated as chairman of theCommunity Relations Committee;Mike Kaufman was slated as NSAchairman: and Steve Rosen wasslated as chairman ot the CampusAction Committee.Rosen’s appointment will bepending the outcome of the re¬count demanded by former CampusAction Committee chairman DickJacobson.

Borman, chief of appliedAnthropology Service at the Dow¬ney (Ill.) Veterans AdministrationHospital, stated that “it is obviousto many of us that we are currentlyinvolved in what appears to be arebirth or renaissance in themental hospital world.”The renaissance referred to byBorman is represented by a shiftin the view of the mental hospitalettelheim from a purely custodial institiutionto its function as a therapeutic com¬munity.Mrs. L. Trimble Steinbrecher,Executive Secretary of the IllinoisBoard of Mental Health Commis¬sioners. discussed the gulf in under¬standing that exists between theprofessional politician and the pro¬fessional social scientist. Shepointed up the necessity for mentalhealth program administrators andprofessional groups to providepoliticians with an understanding ofneeds and problems in order thatthese may be reflected in legisla¬tion .This theme was reiterated byGlenn Allison. Assistant Directorfor Psychiatric Social Services forthe State of Illinois when he said,s views “State legislators need to be edu¬cated to current problems.” Alli¬son suggested that the problem ofmental health cuts across a num¬ber of our current social ills:chronic unemployment, racialsegregation, education, public hous¬ing, social values, etc. In a sys¬tematic attack upon these areas ofconcern we will have begun to“look beyond treatment and re¬habilitation to prevention and theunfolding of the human spirit toits capacity.”Clyde Murray. Executive Direc¬tor of the Mental Health Society ofGreater Chicago, reflected on themeans of inducing community in¬terest in mental health programs.“We should focus first on inter¬preting the mentally ill and mentalillness and not try to bring in themental health factor. After chang¬ing attitudes toward mental illnesswe can then tackle an educationalprogram for positive mentalhealth.”“Social, cultural, and ethnicidentity pose a problem formany cultures, not only forthe Jews. But probably a largepart of the* problem of Jewishidentity comes from living in theUnited States,” stated Sol Tax, pro¬fessor of anthropology, at the HillelFoundation fireside Friday eve¬ning.During the period of emigrationfrom Eastern Europe, the Jewswanted to become Americanized,according to Tax. The ways inv/hich the Americanization was ac¬complished ranged from total as¬similation by which the effort wasmade to define Judaism “merelyas another religion, just like Meth¬odism, only Jewish,” to Zionism orHasidism. Relatively small valuedifferences then often seemedgreater than larger value differ¬ences, such as those between Ju¬daism and Christianity.Tax discussed some of the mainpoints of the “ghetto philosophy”theory of Bruno Bettelheim, pro¬ fessor of phsychology and princi¬pal of the Sonia Shank man Ortho¬genic school, in relation to theproblems of Jewish identity.According to Tax. Bettelheim be¬lieves that ghetto thinking causedthe destruction of the Jews in theNazi era. Bettelheim defines ghettothinking as ingrown and ethnocen¬tric. If the Jews had thought ofsaving the world instead of aboutthemselves, they would have sur¬vived. Those Jews who did survive,according to Bettelheim, thought ina larger context than that ofJudaism.Tax explained that the ghettothinking problem is one of discre¬tion versus valor. Everyone tendsto admire courage, even foolishcourage, yet nobody blames peoplewho are not heroes. Bisttelheim,however, claims that the Jews whodid not survive were themselvesto blame, i.e., were not heroes.Bettelheim’s argument that Jewswho stopped being Jews survivedis “ridiculous,” according to Tax.Blackfriars select scriptThe Blackfriars board hasannounced its selection of amusical comedy book by RodPhillips, third year student inLaPoint in '62 Blackfriars I the college, to be produced as theforty-fourth annual Blackfriarsshow.The music for the show will be"written by Bob Applebaum, also inthe College, who wrote the musicfor last year’s “Sing out SweetRock.”The show, entitled “Aside fromall that,” is a satire of englishclass conflict. It will be presentedon April 25. 26, and 27.This year’s selection was madefrom 7 books submitted. Accordingto the board, “several highly use-able musicals were submitted.”The selection was made on thebasis of “exceptional originality,and creativity.”The show will be directed byJames O’Reilly, who directed lastyears show.Tryouts for parts will be held onMarch 4, 5, 6 in Reynolds clubtheater.Phillips, the author of the script,is of English origin. “Of course Jews would not havebeen exterminated if they hadceased being Jews in previousgenerations, but then what wouldbe the meaning of survival?” Fur¬thermore, the Jews who disclaimedaffiliation with Judaism during theNazi period were still killed. Taxalso noted that it is part of theJewish tradition to deal withworldly and universal problems.The Jewish culture, Tax con¬cluded, takes for granted certainbasic moral premises, which giveJewish people from widely differ¬ing areas a common distinguish¬able and valuable foundation. Inghetto thinking there is muchworth saving.Arcadius Kahan, associate pro¬fessor of economics, also com¬mented on the concept of ghettothinking. Kahan feels that the onlypeople who fought and resistedagainst the Germans with armswere classical examples of ghettothinkers.According to Kahan, the ghettois actually a concept of a particu¬lar state of mind. Many Jews wentinto a ghetto by choice, becauseit was difficult for them to mixwith the population in which theylived. They went into the ghetto inorder to survive as Jews.The ghettos were not all ex¬amples of degradation, stated Kah¬an. Ghetto Jews instituted thefirst welfare states, and the firstsystems of general education.From them came a number ofneeded institutions which the worlddid not realize until the end of the19th century.The problem of the Jews is tohave their “ghetto mentality” ac¬cepted by the world on their ownterms. The world must make cer¬tain adjustments to the basic moralvalues which the Jews have stoodfor since the earliest times. With¬out this basic adjustment in theworld, the Jew will have to re¬main ghetto Jews, concludedKahan. Wisconsin’s decentralized statemental health program was out¬lined by Kenneth Colwell, SocialWork Consultant of PsychiatricHospital Services for the State ofWisconsin. Wisconsin follows thepractice of placing the greater por¬tion of its mentally ill in need ofhospitalization in county hospitals.Small county hospitals of under 300beds are able to keep tihe patientclose to his home community,maintaining contact with it, andfacilitating post-discharge adjust¬ment.Anderson to leavefor Pakistan tripHarold A. Anderson, Asso¬ciate Professor of Educationand Executive Officer of thePakistan Project of The Uni¬versity of Chicago, will leave forPakistan February 2nd for a three-month visit.The University of Chicago, since1957, has been working with thegovernment of Pakistan in attempt¬ing to revise the system of educa¬tion there, with the emphasis atthe secondary level.Anderson, who will be making histhird trip to Pakistan since I960,said he will attempt to obtain afirst-hand analysis of progress todate, seeking to learn whateverobstacles may exist and imple¬menting those further steps whichmust be taken for the project.The University of Chicago main¬tains a professional faculty in Eastand West Pakistan.

WICKDean of StudentsProtest Commons’ closingTO THE EDITOR OF THE MAROONAND TO MR. RAY BROWN:Now that the closing of theCommons is clearly known, I amwriting this plea for mercy onbehalf of the many patrons ofthe Commons.There are many stories circulat¬ing concerning the reason for clos¬ing the Commons. A recent Ma¬roon article stated the reason asbeing that at its peak in 1945(“the war years”) 1,0(10 luncheswere served per day, but now7 only400 are served per day. Anothertale attributes the decision to thecost of heating the Commons. Yetanother story is that this is ameans to force the students to eatall their meals in the dorm cafe¬terias, and thereby make theselatter institutions profitable.Another rumor is that the largearea of the Commons is being setaside for a bowling alley. In sofar as I know, the real and basicreason(s) has not beeen defined;but that is not so important as thefact: the Commons is closing.I hardly claim to represent thestudent consensus; however, myown observations lead me to be¬lieve that a great many studentsare opposed to the closing of theCommons. Since he has to eat inthe dorm cafeteria at night (theCommons is, unfortunately, al¬ready closed for supper), one stu-sludent claims that he will notreceive even one good meal a dayafter the imminent closing of theCommons. In his thoughts thisstudent is not alone; many dormresidents would rather not eat“dorm cooking,” if something —anything—else were available. Many of the New Dorm residentseat aw7ay from their building—many eat in the Commons. I,being a commuting student, am notunder quite the threat that resi¬dents are: I can get a good mealat home after school. But I dohave to eat five to seven mealsper w7eek on campus. After try¬ing almost all the dining rooms,my conclusion is that the Com¬mons has the only decent food oncampus available to students. Ifthe Commons closes, I feel that Iwill be forced to pay significantlymore money to eat a meal whichis of considerably inferior quality.Still another side to the situa¬tion concerns faculty and otheruniversity employees. Even withthe Quadrangle Club just acrossthe street, many of the facultyprefer, for various reason, to eatin the Commons. Many of theworkers in the administrationbuilding, secretaries in Ihe smallerbuildings, and even people whowork in the Billings group preferto eat in the Commons. Interest¬ingly, the people from Billings haverecently been braving the sub¬zero weather to walk the fourblocks to the Commons, whilethere is a cafeteria in their ownbasement. (However, most of thepeople I have spoken with agreethat the Billings cafeteria is not very good.) The question iswhether these non-student univer¬sity people are going to lose thedining room which they obviouslywant very much to attend.On behalf of the many students,faculty, and others who eat inthe Commons, I urge that someacceptable arrangement be foundso that the Commons remainsopen. I do not know' enough aboutthe administration machinery,either of the Commons or of theUniversity in general, to offer aspecific proposal for achievingthis end; all I can do is enterthis plea, in the hope that those ina position to do something aboutit will try their utmost to keepthe Commons open.Edward SternCalendar of EventsLinac produces 15mev beamA beam of protons with an energy of 50 million electronvolts and an intensity of eight milliamps (thousands of anampere) has successfully been obtained from a particle acvcelerator at Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois,The laboratory is run by the " T ~ “~7 *University of Chicago for the «• wwld and the only ,wie inAtomic Energy Commission.

A reader of Eliot, Blake, andPound, he recalled “raising hellwith the English profs because Iknew more Blake than they did . . .At one time I had two copies ofJoyde’s Ulyses smuggled into thecountry lor me, but they werestolen by the friends I had lentthem to!”In the early days “both poetryBook review and music played a big part in mylife; I’ve tried to be both a poetand composer, but I just didn’thave what it takes. Mozart is myfavorite composer. Photography isperfect for me because it takes norecall. I’d write four stanzas andforget the first line by the tameI’d reached the fourth.”The son of a Russian immigranttailor, Siskind taught English inthe New York grades for sometwenty-three years. “I started inphotography when a friend gaveme a camera as a going awaypresent on a trip to Bermuda atthe age of thirty.”Siskind never had any formaltechnical training in photography,and claims all the technical knowl¬edge and skill he has acquired canprobably be learned by a student insix months. Having always tendedtowards simple equipment he men¬tioned, with a perceptable note ofembarrassment, the fact that henow uses a graflex and a rplliflex.He considers himself an artistusing photography as a visualmedium. “Technique is meaning¬less in itself. The picture exists asa photographic value; the thing todo is to have experience and toconvert this into pictures.” Hetries to teach both this philosophyand the fundamentals of photogra¬phy to his students.Does much with regular elementsEternal Fire. Calder Willing¬ham. Vanguard Press, Inc., NewYork, 1963. 630 pp. $6.95.There is an apocryphalstory about a certain contem¬porary playwright, in whichit is reported that the greatman was asked how he was ableto Ihink of his plots and characters,ixld to the extreme and repletewith the filthiest perversions. Hereplied that he cut out ofcardboard and put into a hat thewords “incest,” “masochism,”“rape,” “castration,” and so forth,drew out three or four cards whileblindfolded, and wrote his playsaround them.While there is incest and seduc-lion, rape and police brutality in(’alder Willingham’s new novelEternal Fire, it is only at the firstglance that these elements of trashfiction seem to be strewn aboutlhe novel at random. Actually, theyare intricately woven into the meshof the book, according to the com¬plexities of the characters, and itis just this care and organization,neglecting for the moment the au¬thor’s tremendous gifts as a skilledironist and realistic writer ofdialogue, which lifts this book outof the class of non-novels of thetype written by Harold Robbins.The story-line is simple andwithout external complication. Ran¬dolph Sudderland Shepherdson III,an intelligent, but naive heir to afortune built up by his ancestorsin Glenville, Georgia, is engagedto Laurie Mae Lytle, a poorschoolteacher. When he marriesher, he will claim his estate, JudgeBall, his guardian, who has beengrossly mismanaging his millions,will be sent to jail if called to theaccounting. So the judge hiresHarry Diadem, a Don Juan ex¬traordinary, with 603 women to hiscredit, to seduce Laurie Mae,knowing full well that his ward,trained as a Southern Gentleman,will never marry her if he findsher to be “damaged goods.” Thejudge’s plan sucoeeds, but back¬fires ironically when Randy, “emerged from eternal fire intomanhood,” forgives Laurie Mae,revenges himself upon the judgeand, resolves to live in the worldin which he has, willy-nilly, foundhimself.Willingham’s characters are rightout of the stereotype-font. Thetime, but unworldly Southern gen¬tleman: the poor-but-honest school-ma’aim: the evil, sly judge; theprofessional seducer; the wise oldNegress who steers our hero ontothe right way—could be found toa man in certain melodramas offifty and seventy-five years ago.They are all in Eternal Fire, butit would be wrong and an insultto the author’s intelligence to thinkfor a moment that he did not rea¬lize that these were types rightout of the penny-dreadful senti¬mental drama since Uncle Tom’sCabin. But Mr. Willingham hasdone more: he has slain UncleTom and a good deal of Southernliterature upon its own doorstep.In a remarkable tour de force,he has taken these stand-bys anddivested them of their cardboardlives: put real words in theirmouths and real thoughts in theirheads. And in this way he showsthat these people—bones for solong—can live, and how silly theworld has been to accept them asless than three-dimensional char¬acters. Judge Ball, monstrous andwicked as he is, is only a beastbacked in a corner who must lashout. Laurie Mae dreams of suicidelying nude on her attic-level bed.Harry Diadem is shown to be aweak creature, secretly hostile tothe women who are his career.The author’s use of irony, too,is marvelous. It is only becauseRandolph is a gentleman that thejudge’s plan will succeed, but soit is only because the judge andHarry are so unscrupulous andgreedy that they outsmart eachother and fail. Whit Gallady,thrown off the police force forgetting drunk and beating a wom¬an, is offered his old job back—if only he will get drunk and beatanother woman. Harry Diadem, nareissistically proud of his beauty,meets his death at the hands ofan outraged dwarf of revolting ap¬pearance. who breaks his body andthrows it off a bridge to dashagainst concrete pillars.But, however, the author de¬lighted me with his sense of real¬ism in dialogue and amused mewith his tongue-in-cheek narrative,he wiped the smile right off myface each time he launched intohis habit of describing the sexualact “as though he had invented ithimself,” as, indeed, he does ratherfrequently in this novel.In addition, sometimes the au¬thor seems to be wallowing in thevery sentiment that he travestiesso well—as though his irony hadrun out, or his tongue had inad¬vertently slipped out of his cheek.In particular, the scenes near theend of the story between Randyand Melindy, his colored nurse,fall flat, for they are more con¬ventional than necessary to theplot. This sort of thing, happily nota frequent occurrence, neverthe¬less tends to ruin the effect of therest of the novel, which is wellworked out and well written.Since End as a Man, his firstnovel which won considerable criti¬cal acclaim when it came out in1947, Calder Willingham has writ¬ten nothing at all memorable andcertainly nothing up to his per¬formance in End as a Man. Per¬haps Eternal Fire heralds a re¬birth of Mr, Willingham’s not in¬considerable talent, and the addi¬tion of a novelist to the literaryscene, currently a rather sparseone. His next novel ought to tellthe story and I hope that my ex¬pectations of him will shortly berealized.Dave Richter At the beginning, he was ignoredby the photographic world: “theartists first noticed me.” He isjust now beginning to be recog¬nized. He characterizes his mate¬rial as abstract. Beaumont New-hall says it’s “abstract realism.**Most of Siskind’s photographyhas been done in the US, some inMexico, much in Martha’s Vine¬yard where he spends his sum¬mers, and in Chicago havingmoved here from New York Cityabout twelve years ago, Siskindcharacterizes Chicago as “a veryalive place; basically the peopleare more oontactable. It’s still afrontier town. Yet there is still alot of crap around.”In his work he tries to be “con¬crete.” “The ideas come with Ihework, they come with the work.”Some of his work consists of photosof children’s heads, portraits, nudefigures, and a series of divers en¬titled “The Pleasures and Terrorsof Levitation,” plus his very fa¬mous photos of walls. Of these hesays, "I’ve found on the wallsshapes and signs meaningful to me.A wall is a record of the life ofa man, a very accurate and a verymeaningful record. The marks onthe wall are intimate expressionsof a man’s feelings. There are noinhibitions when a man or childmarks on a wall.” Of the NewEngland stone wall on exhibit inLexington he says, “just theshapes, the stones, symbolize therelationship of people to eachother.” His glove and feet photosinspired John Logan, editor of “BigTable” to write several poems tobe printed in his latest book.“Today photographers havebroken down the tenets of theclassicists, the photography ofwhat is, like the work of AnselAdams and Paul Stern. They nowuse the blur, the grain, and movethe camera. Structure is irrele¬vant, staining of images, the nonreality, force the values. When Iwork I become submerged in whatI’m doing and let my unconscioustake over.”In his work he strives for mean¬ing and in this way he considershimself part of the evolutionaryprocess of the photographic arts.ASSIFIED ADSROOMS, APTS., ETC.For rent: furnished townhouse, 6039 S.University, 4 bedrooms, Steinway piano,garage.
