Suchfacilities would include special la¬boratories, library collections, orfaculty members highly qualifiedin particular areas.Long-range goal of the CIC pro¬gram is to encourage member uni¬versities to develop even greaterspecial strengths of their ownchoosing by increasing the numberof potential users. In addition,costly duplication of effort and ex-Weinberg speaks at Symposium“If nuclear plants are great¬ly enlarged, the cost of nu¬clear energy may well fall be¬low the cost of conventionalenergy,” predicted Alvin M. Wein¬berg last night.Addressing the final session ofthe day-long ‘‘Symposium on Plu¬tonium,” Weinberg, director of theAtomic Energy Commission OakRidge National Laboratory, dis¬cussed the future of nuclearenergy.The University and Argonne Na¬tional Laboratory co-sponsored thesymposium in observance of thetwentieth anniversary of the firstweighing of a man-made element,plutonium, at UC. At last night’ssession, Norman H. Nachtrieb,chairman of UC’s department ofchemistry, received a plaque thatwill be hung in Jones 405, wherethe plutonium was weighed.Present at the session were fourNobel Prize Winners: Glenn T.Seaborg, chairman of the AtomicEnergy Commission: Edwin Mc¬Millan, director of the LawrenceRadiation Laboratories at the Uni¬versity of California, and oo-dis-coverer with Seaborg of plutonium:George W. Beadle, president ofUC; and James Franck, professoremeritus of the University.Weinberg, winner of the 1960Atoms for Peace prize, explainedthat ‘‘Nuclear energy is more ex¬pensive than conventional energybecause nuclear reactors are moreexpensive than conventional steamboilers and the intrinsically lowcost of nuclear fuel usually doesnot balance the high capital costof the reactor.”However, continued Weinberg,R- P. Hammond of Los Alamos(now on loan to Oak Ridge Na¬tional Laboratories) has shownthat building large nuclear plants—•called “scaling”—can make pos¬sible “area development and ener¬gy advances which some of theearly, but until now disillusioned, optimists envisioned.”It is astonishing to see howrapidly the cost of fabricating andreprocessing uranium fuel de¬creases as the scale increases,Weinberg stated. “In a plant hav¬ing a capacity for fabricating andreprocessing one ton of fuel ele¬ments per day, the total cost, in¬cluding fabricating, shipping,chemical processing, and fuel in¬ventory, is $61 per kilogram. Ifthe plant has a capacity of tentons of fuel elements per day, thecost is only $30 per kilogram.Weinberg estimated that electri¬city could be generated by a hugereactor for between 1.4 and 3 milsper kilowatt hour. And further thesteam produced by a large reactor“is cheap enough to be used asthe heat source for de-salting seawater on a large scale,” he said.Weinberg pointed out that “Ham¬mond’s conception of nuclearpower on a vast scale as a meansfor developing arid, coastal regionsinjects a public vs. private con¬troversy into nuclear energy witha vengeance.By tying nuclear energy to wa¬ter which is traditionally a publicfunction, one makes a case forapplying to nuclear economics inthe US the low fixed charges thathave made nuclear energy so at¬tractive in other parts of theworld.”“The opponents of public financ¬ing argue, with justice, that lowfixed charges and low taxes meanthat other parts of the economyare being assessed to subsidizeenergy production; the proponentsof public financing argue thatbroad area developments such aswould follow from a billion gallonper day installation must be donepublicly or not at all.“To exploit nuclear energy fully,”Weinl>erg concluded, “we mustmerge our |>ower-using entitiesinto super grids; and such gridswill surely transcend state, and inmany cases, country boundaries. That peaceful nuclear energy alsocontains within itself an impera¬tive to a unified and, we hope,more peaceful world is a develop¬ment which I believe all of usreactor technologists can only wel¬come with pride and enthusiasm,even as we urge our political andeconomic leaders to accommodatethese realities of the peaceful aswell as the warlike atom. pendrture would be avoided.Graduate students will be ableto cross institutional boundariesfor one semester or two quarters.The visiting student will l)e reg¬istered at his home university andwill pay his fees there.Approval of graduate deans atboth institutions involved will benecessary, and each universitywill retain its full right to ac¬cept or reject any student. Eachuniversity will determine the spe¬cific methods to be used in serv¬ing as host to CIC scholars. More¬over, each institution will deter¬mine whether or not to give spe¬cial assistance to its own CICscholars.The magnitude of the role playedby CIC universities in graduateeducation is indicated by the factthat the eleven universities grant¬ed approximately 30 per cent ofthe total of all doctoral degreesconferred in the United States ina recent eleven-year period.Since its establishment in 1958,the CIC has encouraged and spon¬sored voluntary cooperation in avariety of fields, including foreignlanguages, bioclimatology, geogra¬phy, medicine, pharmacy, land¬scape architecture, and geology. Itwas such cooperation that led tofaculty requests for implementa¬tion of the program to permit freeexchange of graduate students. “This is an area in which Mr.Hess has already made a distin-quished contribution. He has dis¬played a remarkable talent forscholarly research, writing, andadministration.“Two of the most eerious con¬tributors to the wastage of talentare the failure to provide in earlychildhood experiences which pre¬dispose to later learning and theceilings imposed on the amount andquality by cultural and institu¬tional norms.“Through studies and experi¬mentation in the Nursery unit, TheUniversity of Chicago hopes toopen up the possibilities of un¬limited learning for children fromall types of backgrounds.”Hess said research of the UrbanChild Center unit would be aimedat “removing or reducing the ef¬fects on children of poor early en¬vironment.”Said Hess: “There is reason tobelieve that the potentialities ofthe human mind as geneticallydetermined do not unfold natural¬ly and inevitably, but require*active participation of a stimu¬lating environment in order to at¬tain normal development.“It is important that this stimu¬lation occur as early as possiblein the child's experience.“The range and variety of earlyexperience directly affect the pos¬sibilities of later learning andsets limits to the flexibility andadeptness of the adult mind bylimting or expanding the netwo kof concept, meanings, and symbolsthrough which the individual ex¬periences his world.“The deprivation of sui'aHe stim¬ulation probably results in somepermanent loss of mental ability.“One of the primary purposes ofelementary school education is t'mmaximizing of mental capabilMesby systematic encouragement.”Hess, himself the father of fouryoung children, has been a mem¬ber of the UC faculty since 1919.He received his B.A. from theUniversity of California in 1947and his Ph.D. from the Univer¬sity of Chicago in 19G0.His academic fields of interestinclude the cultural influencesupon personality development andcontemporary behavior.

Today if you are forsomething controversial you’rebound to be investigated, he con¬tinued.Yellin’s first amendment caseis currently on appeal in theSupreme Court. After Yellin was convicted he re¬ceived an NSF grant. When HUACfound out about this RepresentativeGordon Scherer, a member, “onthe floor of Congress blasted theNSF for giving money to a manconvicted of contempt of Con¬gress.” Yellin’s NSF grant wasrevoked shortly thereafter.Yellin said that Scherer also“demanded that action be takenby the University of Illinois againstthe four professors who had givenrecommendations for Yellin.” This,Yellin felt, “was a definite viola¬tion of academic freedom.”The grant awarded to Yellin onthe basis of academic ability wasrevoked on the grounds that Yellinmight go to jail and thereforewould not be able to complete theyear for which the grant wasawarded. The NSF grant was sub¬sequently amended to add to thethen sole criteria of ability that oflack of conviction for any crime.When his case was In the DistrictCourt, Yellin called House Com¬mittee on Un-American ActivitiesChairman Francis Walters to testi¬fy. Walters had to concede thatrelatively little legislation waspassed as a result of his commit¬tee, stated Yellin.On Sunday, Assistant Professorof Social Science Marc Galanfer,Associate Professor of History Ber¬nard Weinberger, Visiting Profes¬ sor of Political Science JohnRoche, and Neal Johnston, direc¬tor of the National Student Asso¬ciation’s “Academic Freedom’*project participated in die discus¬sion on Academic freedom.Weisberger stated, “we don’thave to invite every nut in thecommunity.” The view that theUniversity should supply a forumfor his position is absurd, headded. The other participants ex¬pressed agreement.In a brief discussion of censor¬ship Roche felt “that it couldn'tbe institutionalized for the simplereason that I trust no one butmyself.” He added that lately thiswas not a problem in the gooduniversities.Weisberger brought up the pos¬sibility of “finding [>eople cannedat the universities to speak here.”He qualified this by excludingcrackpots.The question was posed that ifa speaker would so outrage thecommunity that the Universitywould be closed, should he be al¬lowed to speak? Weisberger, whoposed this question, felt that inthis case it might be wise for theUniversity to act as censor. Thisquestion was brought forth in re¬sponse to Roche’s feeling that ‘ ifsomeone were going to lie offen¬sive bo the community, th it is noreason to keep him away.”Ten students expelled for sit-ins Suspend board for editorial(ClMW) — Ten ArkansasAgricultural Alining- and Nor¬mal College students havebeen expelled for refusing toobey Arkansas AM&N’s presidentLawrence Davis’ request to stopthe sit-in demonstrations in theJocal Pine Bluff chain store.The sit-ins were organized by thePine Bluff student movement(PBSM) at the suggestion of theStudent Nonviolent CoordinatingCommittee (SNCC), which plannedBornholtz takes firstat debate tourneyBob Bornholz, a first-yearstudent in the College, wonthe first place speaker’saward at the Columbia Uni¬versity varsity debate tournamentfor his argument, “Resolved: Thenon-communist nations of the worldshould establish an economic com¬munity.”The speaker’s award is based ona point rating which includes anal¬ysis, organization, reasoning, argu¬mentation, and delivery.Bornholz also placed fifth in de¬bate in the tournament, accordingto has win-loss record.Bornholz had debated for fouryears in his Pittsburgh high schoolbefore coming to Chicago.

Thisnumber swelled to nearly 45 thenext day, but sank to 10 followingDavis’ warning.The ten students who were ex¬pelled continued to demonstrate even after they had received wordof their suspension.According to Dorsey, the reasonthe 10 students were expelled wasnot because the administration op¬poses the sit-in movement, butbecause it feels that this is not themost ideal time to become involvedin such demonstrations.“This is a legislative year,” saidDorsey, “and the administrationdid not particularly want a con¬troversial issue on its hands atappropriations time.” ArkansasAM&N is a state-supported college.Dorsey said that the majority ofthe campus, as well as the studentgovernment, was behind the ad¬ministration.

(CPS)—The administrationof New York City’s QueensCollege has placed the entireeditorial board of the QueensCollege Phoenix on disciplinaryprobation as a result of an alleged¬ly obscene editorial.A college spokesman called theeditorial too libelous to be readover the phone. The college presi¬dent, Harold Stokes, placed theeditors on probation, declaring thatthe editorial “admittedly violatedthe regulations of Queens Collegeand the Board of Higher Educationas well as the canons of goodtaste.”According to Queens studentbody president Mark Levey, theeditorial contained “mixed reli¬gious and sexual symbolism in apoorly written article.”Levey himself was temporarilysuspended from school by the ad¬ministration last semester for re¬fusing to show his student identifi¬cation card to a school official whorefused to identify himself.The editorial, in reference to therecent investigation of Womens’Strike for Peace by the House Com¬mittee on Un-American Activities,said in a long metaphor that theUnited States is far from a perfectsociety, and that the Americanbelief in the righteousness of thenation’s actions and attitudes, pastand present, reflects a "deep scaracross the American subconscious.”“The business about defendingthe political religion of Americacomes right out of the most deca¬dent and genteel strain of Ameri-Eskridge speaks here todayChauncey Eskridge, candi¬date for alderman of the fifthward, will speak this after¬noon on “the need for repre¬sentation of all the ward.” Thespeech, which is sponsored by Stu¬dent Government, will take placeat 4 pm in Ida Noyes Library.Eskridge is attempting to unseatthe incumbent, Leon M. Despres,in the February 26 election. Hisspeech will refer to Despres’ re¬cent statement that his (Despres’)campaign aims to “preserve theward.” Eskridge contends that pre¬servation is impossible for a greatdeal of the ward and that rehabili¬tation is the only feasible solution.Despres is scheduled to speak oncampus Thursday.Eskridge was endorsed last weekby the Baptist Pastors’ Conferenceof Chicago and vicinity. Rev. F. L. Porter, president of the 100-member group, said, “We believethat the fifth ward will enjoy anew unified progress under theleadership of Chauncey Eskridge.He is a man for all the people.”Another member of the group,Rev.

If. 1943Four discuss examinationsAt the Shorey House Coffee Hour]aSt night, a discussion was heldtoncerning the state of examina¬tions in the college. Present werepavid G. Williams, college exam¬iner, Janice Spofford, examiner inbiology, William Farrell, examinerjn humanities, and James Farnell,examiner in social sciences. Themeeting was moderated by JohnCawelti, chairman of the humani¬ties one sequence.Williams stated that the presentsystem of testing started as asingle examination. After a unifiedcourse, this examination was theentire basis for the student’s grade.This system has “eroded.” Someof the reasons for this erosion arethe mixture of generalized andspecial programs, which led to asystem of course credits, not ex¬aminations. It was also necessaryto shorten the three week testperiod and to substitute eitherquarterly exams or cumulativecomprehensive exams, where theadvisory grades of each quarterwere given a certain percentage ofthe final grade.Janice Spofford, examiner forbiology, pointed out that in thelate fifties there was a lowering ofthe test curve which, she said,resulted from the tendency of manystudents to cram just beforeexams. This situation, she said, hasbeen corrected with a system ofsingle quarter exams for credit,the single F rule, which requiresa student to pass one quarter be¬fore progressing to the next, andthe system of cumulative compre¬hensive exams. This present sys¬tem, she said, works out well inthat it preserves objectivity, whileeliminating the tendency to cram. William Farrell, examiner in thehumanities, discussed what hecalled “the myth of objectivity.”He pointed out that each instructormust grade a great many examessays and that “soon his criticalability begins to escape him.” Hepointed out that there are onlytwo hours available to discuss thesepapers with the second grader. Heconcluded that the objective sys¬tem effectively removed the roleof the teacher’s personality, butthat a certain degree of subjec¬tivity might be valuable.James Farnell, examiner for so¬cial sciences, said that the slowchange in the system which Wil¬liams had referred to came aboutbecause of a change in principlesand the intellectual outlook ofmany teachers. The comprehensiveexams, he said, assume that thereis a body of knowledge which allstudents should possess, a theorywhich would lead to a system ofmultiple choice exams naturally.There is however, he said, anotherapproach which concentrates onthe encouragement of a student’screative ability. The proper testingsystem for this approach, he said,would emphasize writing more thanthe present system. He contendedthat the present Chicago system isan imitation of the Oxford systemwithout the Oxford apparatus. Heexplained that the final test givento Oxford students follows a longcareer in writing essays which arediscussed personally by each stu¬dent’s tutor. He said in answer toa question, however, that he didnot expect the Oxford system tobe established here, for practicalreasons.WASH PROMIS NEARNow AvailableatCohn and SternTUXEDO RENTALComplete outfitting, shirts, cummerbunds,studs etc.Fraternity Group DiscountsTHE STORE FOR MENQTottm anh (tfampaaIn the New Hyde Hark Shopping Center1502-06 E. 55th St. Phone 752-8100| SHARE-A-RIDE CENTRAL fS Offers A Unique New Service To Our Mobile Society 2/ Now You Can Find Share Expense Rides or /5 Riders to Any City Nationwide. f,jj Subscribe NOW!

Themerger was agreed on at the endof a three hour caucus, the en¬tirety of which was in closed ex¬ecutive session.According to A1 Levy, floorleader of IRP, there were about15 persons present at the closedmeeting, about one-half from eachparty.The conditions of the mergerwere outlined in a joint statement.The merger will not constitutemerely a coalition between two oldparties, but will form a new partywith a new name and new officers.The platform will be based onthe principle that Student Govern¬ment should be concerned pri¬marily with the interests of stu¬dents as students. Also agreed wasthat the constitution should bechanged to include residential rep¬resentation and the holding ofelections in the Fall quarter in¬stead of the Spring.The new party will have a fiveman executive board consisting ofa president, treasurer, secretary,chairman of the publicity commit¬tee, and chairman of the residencerepresentation committee. The residence representationcommittee, it was explained, wouldconsist of representatives of thenew party in each residential unit.IRP is the campus’ oldest politi¬cal party. It was founded in 1959.It presently has three seats in theassembly. UP, founded last year,presently has ten seats in theassembly.After the meeting Gerry Mc-Beath, president of UP, and Levycommented on the merger. Mc-Beath stated the following:“It is consistent that the twoparties initially supporting residen¬tial representation have merged.IRP has been calling for residentialrepresentation for the past fouryears, and UP sponsored anamendment to achieve this lastSpring.“Both parties have maintainedthat Student Government shouldconcern itself with the student quastudent. On campus we would liketo see a Student Union buildingand greater services for the stu¬dents. In addition, the UniversityParty has always felt that studentsshould be involved with the com¬munity in which they live. Theadditional membership and interestgotten through the merger willmore adequately implement theseobjectives.“The University Party has al¬ ways assumed that Student Gov¬ernment would be less of a taskand more enjoyable for the SGAssembly members if people wereless militant and dogmatic. In thisrespect we have always applaudedthe efforts of IRP to make StudentGovernment more realistic aboutits limitations. ...”Levy stated that “to continue thestruggle for a more responsibleStudent Government in the besttradition of our sentimental mem¬ories, the members of the mostlovable party on campus desire tojoin with other equally lovablepeople to form a new party. Wesee this not as the end of a glorioustradition, but as the reincarnationof our fondest desires, as well asother factors. We hope that thestudent body will not feel betrayed,but will realize that we are doingthis for their own good, as well asours.”“We pledge ourselves and ournew found brethren to the samemagnificent principles IRP hasalways stood for since the days ofthe Imperial Revolutionary Party.And the very first of our newefforts will be a movement for lessverbosity in political statements.” The New Boys and Girls ofthe Stagg Party held theirfirst party caucus Friday eve¬ning in the washrooms ofPierce Tower.According to a party spokesman,237 people entered the stalls and234 secret votes were recorded.“Since there were only three is¬sues voted on.” continued thespokesman, “it is obvious that theStagg Party has 7P members,more than any other on campus.We therefore certainly representstudent opinion.”The first vote of the evening wasto approve the slate of officers.Richard Gottlieb was electedChancellor while John Sherman,Mark Naftalin, Rich Epstein andDavid Kushner were elected toexecutive committee positions.The second vote changed Gott¬lieb’s title from Chancellor toPresident.The third vote was to approvea tentative program. This programincludes fact finding polls andquestionnaires, hikes, and picnics,p>arades, movies and continued sup¬port of the Bedside Cromwell So¬ciety.In the discussion on the repre- sentivity of student governmenttwo alternative proposals to thepresent electoral system were pre¬sented.The first system discussed wathe negative vote system. In thissystem, every student would havenineteen votes. He could vote foras many persons as he wished andoast the remaining votes as nega¬tive votes against those candidateswhom he disliked the most.“Suppose,” said the inventor ofthe proposal who was in the thirdstall on the left on the fifth floor,“you thought that some guy hada funny odor and you really didn'twant him to represent you whenimportant issues came up. Whenelection time came you could voteagainst him, rather than just forsomeone else. It’ll be like havinga recall at the same time as theelection.”The second plan discussed wouldbe to make SG more like a directdemocracy. This would be achievedby having students chosen by anIBM machine.A suitable program could beplanned by the statistics deport¬ment, choosing representatives bystudent numbers and random num¬ber tables.The one lotion that’s cool, exciting-brisk as an ocean breezel 'The one-and-only Old Spice exhilarates...gives you that great-to-be-alive feeling...refreshes after every shave...adds to your assurance...and wins feminine approval every time.

OF CHICAGOCasualties from the BlackFlague of 1348 are compar¬able to those which could re¬sult from total thermonuclearwar, according to James Cate, pro¬fessor of history. Cate addressed150 persons attending a symposiumon plutonium yesterday at theCenter for Continuing Education.“The plague’s casualties as re¬ported by some contemporarieswere as near total as the estimatesabout total nuclear war found in acopy of the Saturday Review. Evenconservative estimates of the over¬all losses, which run about 33 percent, are as heavy as any reason¬able ones of what could happen tothe civilized world after a totalwar.”Cate, also a member of theAtomic Energy Commission’s His¬torical Advisory Committee, dis¬cussed the role of official, con¬temporary historians now workingwith government agencies in thebody of his speech.“When our nation was foundedit was without benefit of the officeof court historians, just as it lackedthe trappings of royalty. If thiscut down on the propaganda paidfor by the public and aimed atbrain washing the public, it alsoleft great gaps in information ofimmediate utility to governmentagencies and of lasting interest tothose whose taxes supported theseagencies.”But Cate pointed out that in thisrespect, “as in many others thepolicies of our federal governmentchanged during the administrationand at the insistence of FranklinD. Roosevelt,” who directed vari¬ous war agencies to compile ad¬ministrative records of their effortsduring the Second Warld War.The Atomic Energy Commission,however, functioned for ten yearsM I T Z I E 1 SFLOWER SHOPS1225 E. 63rd St.HY 3-53531340 E. 55th St.Ml 3-4020TAPE SPECIAL1800’ Mylar 3.49Acetate 600’Acetate 1200* 98c1.79MODEL CAMERA1342 E. 55th HY 3-9259NS A DISCOUNTS without historians. “But because ofthe dramatic circumstances withwhich it was announced to theworld, and the early appreciationof it as a vast potential for goodor evil, the harnessing of nuclearpower impressed even the mostsuperficial mind with some senseof historicity. ... In 1955 the his¬torical office of the AEC was estab¬lished,” said Cate.Along with the historical office,“was an advisory committee ofseven to advise the two historians.”It also helped to insure that thehistorians would be free from pres¬sures from the government.Consequently “the Atomic En¬ergy Commission’s historians sufferno pressure from above, thoughlike all official historians they mustwatch carefully their own loyal¬ties,” so as not to unintentionallydistort events because of their ownprejudices, said Cate.TT* TP.
