Baron talks on PetrarchVo 71 — No. 94 University of Chicago, Thursday, April 18, 1963Maroon poll number threeWomen fail to fall for 5426A poll conducted yesterdayby the Maroon disclosed that107 out of the 110 womeninterviewed now living in NewDorms would not, under any nor¬mal circustances, consider livin'?next year in the proposed newwomen’s dormitory at 5420 HarperAve.The former apartment-hotel willbe converted to a dormitory forsecond, third and four year wo¬men, James Newman, assistantdean of students, announced lastMonday. It is meant to be a re¬placement for C group which willbe used exclusively for office spacestarting next fall.More than 270 women are nowliving in New Dorms. The MA¬ROON was able to contact 110of them, and of those reached2.65% per cent said they wouldconsider moving into the dormi¬tory on Harper Avenue, which is1.2 miles from Cobb hall.Fifty-six of the women plan toremain in New Dorms next year,thirty-three, or 29.1 percent planto petition out of the dormitorysystem, and 18 percent were eitherundecided or planned to leave NewDorms but remain within the Uni¬versity operated dormitory stystem.Most of the women who ob¬jected to the new dormitory didso because they felt it was simplytoo far away. Others pointed outthat the neighborhood below Fiftyfifth street is unsafe, and thateven if a bus system were in useit would still be an added incon¬venience unjustified by the highprice.The rental rate is set for $57.50per month.5426 Harper contains 73 singlerooms with private baths whichwill bo completely refurnished.There are no kitchen facilitieswithin the individual rooms, butcommon cooking and dining facil¬ities, similar to those in C groupwill be provided on the first floor. The most frequently voicedcomplaints about the new dormi¬tory dealt with distance, facilities,and price.According to Gail Beesen, afirst year student, the action ofthe University seems contradictory,in that the university wishes toprotect the girls with a residencerequirement but would exposethem to isolation and neighbor¬hood dangers.Other girls noted that It wouldbe impossible even to remain inschool for an afternoon lab dur¬ing the winter when darknesscomes early and that below zeroweather would strand them. In ad¬dition, girls with free hours be¬tween classes would be preventedfrom usefully occupying theirtime.The lack of private cooking fa¬cilities was noted by Jill Glueck.“If I’m going to cook it might aswell be in an apartment withfull facilities,” she stated. Othersbemoaned the failure of experi¬mental group cooking facilities inthe New Dorm, due to stealing andgeneral uncooperativeness.Though Linda Stillwell said thatthe singles at 5426 Harper areabout twice the size of doublesat New Dorm, many girls statedthat they would rather have dou¬bles.Many of the girls objected tothe price for a room in the newdormitory, noting that a privateapartment would be as much as$20 less each month. Accordingto one girl, the university hastaken complete advantage of thestudents due to the residence re¬quirement and the lack of apart¬ments in Hyde Park. Trina New-stein that the university monopolyon housing has forced an unwantedsituation with no alternatives tostudentsMany girl* stated that theywould move to a similar dormitoryif it were less expensive and lo¬cated within walking distance of1.2 MILES FROM COBB HALLPictured above is Hie facade of the University's new¬est women's dormitory, the Harper Surf Hotel at 5426South Harper, which will replace C-Group.Maroon photographers were not permitted to photo¬graph the interior, however, which they report is notnearly as aesthetically pleasing as the exterior. Mr.Cady, of the University Realty Management Company,said that it would be unfair to represent the rooms intheir present condition because the university would prob¬ably fix them up before any women move in. campus. Meredith Light suggestedthat the administrators be movedto 54th and Harper so that “C”group could be renovated for useas a dormitory. “They leave promp-ly at 5 o’clock anyway,” she noted.When Newman announced that5426 Harper would be convertedinto a dormitory, he said that thedemand for dormitory space aris¬ing from the closing of C groupwould be entirely met by 5426Harper.In addition to 5426 Harper,North and West Houses, andBlackstone Hall will serve as dor¬mitories for undergraduate women.Bent at Blackstone will be $67.50per month for a double and $82.50per month for a single. Petrarch’s works show thecontinued development of hismind, and end in an attemptto synthesize the conflictingideas which mark him as both aMedieval and a Renaissance man,said Dr. Hans Baron yesterday,in a lecture on “Petrarch and theDawn of the Humanistic Idea ofHuman Nature”.Baron is bibliographer of theNewberry library and a noted au¬thority on the Renaissance. Be¬ginning next winter quarter, hewill give one course each year onsome aspect of the Renaissance.The first of these will be on “Po-.litical Throught in the 14th Cen¬tury”.According to Baron, the recentimputation of scholars that Pet¬rarch developed little or not atall is owing to the changes hemade in his earlier works, includ¬ing the sonnets to Laura, after hehad written the Secretum, his ac¬count of the spiritual crisis duringwhich he attempted to renouncehis wordly ambitions.Work is now being done to dis¬cover the nature and dates of thesechanges, and thus to reveal pet-rarch’s actual progress.Baron emphasized the strugglebetween the contemplative life anda desire for wordly glory as theHonor O'Hara SundayIllinois Congressman Bar-ratt O’Hara, who first gainedpolitical fame in 1913 by ex¬posing the low wages paid towomen workers in Illinois, will behonored for 50 years of public serv-vice Sunday. Among those storeowners he investigated was formerUC benefactor and trustee JuliusRosenwald, owner of Sears-Roe-buck and Company.O’Hara is currently serving hisseventh term in the House of Rep¬resentatives as the Congressmanfrom Illinois’ Second District,which includes the UC area. Abanquet will be held for him atthe Morrison Hotel Sunday to cele¬brate his 50th year in politics.Following his election as theyoungest lieutenant governor ofIllinois, O’Hara headed a commit¬tee to investigate “vice and theproblems of womanhood.” Thework of his committee led to thestart of minimum wage legislationin the United States and to re¬forms of wages in general.It also led to the production ofa very successful film, “The LittleGirl Next Door,” which O’Haraproduced and in which he acted.The investigation was “the bignews of 1913-4,” said O’Hara ata recent interview in his Wash¬ington office. Eight states, includ¬ing Illinois, passed minimum wagelaws because of it.In 1913, women clerks whoworked on State Street were beingpaid from $1 to $5 a week. And,at that time, a study performedby a committee headed by Rosen¬wald, pointed out that “no girlcould live for less than $8 a week,”said O’Hara.O’Hara’s committee, investigat¬ing this discrepancy between themoney earned by women workersand the money they needed tolive on, called as witnesses threegirls who worked for Rosenwald.They testified that Rosenwald,whose committee set $8 as a de¬sirable minimum wage, paid mostof his women workers $3 or lessa week.O’Hara then called Rosenwald,who died in 1932, up before hiscommittee and asked him abouthis own salary, which was then$1,500,000. Calculating that it wouldcost Rosenwald about $500,000 toraise the salaries of all his work¬ers to $8 a week, O’Hara askedhim if they thought he could be“satisfied with only $1 million.”O’Hara recalled that shortly be¬fore Rosenwald appeared beforehis committee, he had given some$500,000 to a Negro College. “Icouldn’t help but think that thegirls had given that money to thecollege,” said O’Hara.. Rosenwald, famous for develop- multi-million dollar concern, wasalso noted for his philanthropy.During his lifetime, he gave awaymore than $60 million, about one-third of it to causes that wouldaid the Negro in his development.Following the investigation, re¬counted O’Hara, Rosenwald boughta newspaper in Chicago, largelyto fight him. Nonetheless, addedO’Hara, Rosenwald was a “greatand fine man.”Mandel involved tooAnother man connected with UCwas also affected by the hearings,said O’Hara. Ed Mandel, presidentof Mandel Brothers drygoods firm,raised the wages of all his work¬ers to $9 a week at the time ofthe hearings.Mandel, who is now about 90years old, attended UC in the late1890’s, but did not receive a de¬gree here.He is a nephew of Leon Mandel,one of the original partners in the most prominent in Petrarch’s life.In his youth, Petrarch had criti¬cized friends for renouncing thepolitical life for the monastic. Yethe confessed his own need forsolitude, to consider his own na¬ture. Petrarch often confessed,said Baron, that an attachmentto earthly things estranges onefrom God.Nevertheless, Petrarch felt am¬bition to be an undeniable elementin every man. He defended the de¬sire for glory as part of the samepassion which inspires amor pa¬triae and philosophical speculationYet in the De Vita Solitaria,Petrarch called the virtues ofpolitical life the lowest, and citedDiocletian and Cicero as exam¬ples of illustrious who retiredfrom politics for meditation.The closest Petrarch came toresolving the active with the con¬templative life, said Baron, wasin his Africa. The figure of ScipioAfricanus, who defeated Hannibal,is Petrarch’s paragon of the manwho fulfills his duty to the stateand then withdraws for meditation.In this same work, Petrarch alsodefends the contemplative life asan active life in itself.In the Africa, said Baron, Pet¬rarch also first conceived of theRoman republic as a greater statethan the Empire, because of itsgovernment by the virtuous many.He attempted to dethrone Caesarfrom his position of magnificencein history by attributing the deathof the Republic to Caesar’s repa-cious urge for power.Petrarch little influenced hisown time, said Baron, since he be¬lieved and struggled as he did almost alone, and was himself un¬willing, as his vacillations show, totrow off old ideas rather than re¬concile them with the new. Hiswork was the first attempt at self-examination since Augustine’s Con¬fessions, but it was not until thefifteenth century that his human¬istic outlook on politics and historywas taken jjp and practiced byother thinkers.Mandel Brothers firm and the con¬tributor in 1899 of the $75,000 usedby the then new University ofChicago to build a much neededassembly hall. The hall, locatedat 57 Street and University Avenue,was named after him.Following the investigation,O’Hara was called to Washingtonand was honored by PresidentWoodrow Wilson.When World War I came, O’Haracut short his then burgeoning(Continued on (page 3)SC elections ruled validAfter a thorough investiga¬tion yesterday, the StudentGovernment elections in thecollege will probably be de¬clared valid, stated Don Congdon,chairman of the elections and rulescommittee of student governmentlast night. There had been somedoubt as to the validity of theelection after there appeared to be37 more ballots cast in the Collegethan there were signatures ofvoters.However, on rechecking the orig¬inal voting lists last night, statedCongdon, it was found that therewas no substantial discrepancy.Tuesday night, while ballots werebeing recounted, only 1,054 personswere checked off as having votedin the College, whereas there were1,091 ballots. A difference of 37ballots could have affected 2 ofthe 50 seats in the Student Govern¬ment assembly. Had the electionbeen declared invalid, a new elec¬tion might have had to be called.The error apparently occurredin recording names in the masterbook, said Congdon. Each night,after the polls closed, the namesof voters at four different pollingboxes are recorded into a masterbook. Apparently, some names ap¬pearing in the original book did notget checked off in the master book.In addition, a paper with about 10signatures of voters was lost, ac¬cording to one of the ballot boxwatchers.Thus, although there were notenough votes in the master bookto account for all the ballots, therewere enough names checked inthe individual books that had beenwith the ballot boxes. According to Congdon, the newfindings “increase our confidencein the College vote to the extentthat we will declare it valid. Ourinvestigation is finished unlesssomeone has it reopened.”Before the election can officiallybe declared valid, however, theelection and rules committee mustvote on it.There were no discrepancies inthe graduate schools. There hadbeen some discrepancy Tuesdaynight in the National Student As¬sociation seats, but this was alsoaccounted for last night. The elec¬tions for SG. representatives hadbeen held last week. At the time,GNOSIS candidates won at least22 of 33 graduate seats in SG andeight out of 18 College seats.POLIT won only nine undergradu¬ate seats and six in the graduateschools. The Liberal Party wonthe remaining college seat and theLaw School Party won the threeLaw School graduate seats.Since that time, the winningcandidate in the school .of educa¬tion, Ellen Trimberger of GNOSIS,has withdrawn because she dis¬covered she was not a student inthat school.The newly elected SG assemblywill hold its .first meeting nextTuesday night. At that time, it willvote to break three graduate seatties and elect officers and commit¬tee chairmen.Ties exist between two POLITcandidates for a seat in the divi¬sion of biological sciences, betweenfour write-in candidates in theDivinity School, and between aGNOSIS candidate and a write-incandidate in the Graduate LibrarySchool.!■I* »»!I’iJilliii 1 In addition to Books, Type¬writers, Tape Recordersand Photographic supplies,see our stock of SchoolSupplies, Stationery, Gifts,Novelties, Men's and Wom¬en's Wear, Snacks and To¬bacco.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOBOOKSTORE5802 ELLIS AVE. 3 PIZZAS FOR PRICE OF 2Free UC DeliveryTERRY'S PIZZAMl 3-40451518 E. 63rd StreetServinj The University Of ChicagoCampus Since 1921SAM MALATTBarber Shop.1011 EAST 61st STREETChicago 37, IllinoisBUtterfield 8-0950On Campos withMax §to]man(Author of“l Was a Teen-age Dwarf,” “The ManyLoves of Dobie Gillis” etc.)HOW TO GET EDUCATEDALTHOUGH 'ATTENDING COLLEGEIn your quest for a college degree, are you becoming a narrowspecialist, or are you being educated in the broad, classicalsense of the word?This question is being asked today by many serious observers—including my barber, my roofer, and my little dog Spot—and it would be well to seek an answer.Are we becoming experts only in the confined area of ourmajors, or does our knowledge range far and wide? Do we, forexample, know who fought in the Battle of Jenkins’ Ear, orKant’s epistemology, or Planck’s constant, or Valsalva’s maneu¬ver, or what Wordsworth was doing ten miles above Tin ternAbliey?If we do not, we are turning, alas, into specialists. Howthen can we broaden our vistas, lengthen our horizons—be¬come, in short, educated?Well sir, the first thing we must do is throw away our curri¬cula. Tomorrow, instead of going to the same old classes, letus try something new. let us not think of college as a rigiddiscipline, but as a kind of vast academic smorgasbord, withall kinds of tempting intellectual tidbits to savor, let’s startsampling tomorrow.U ws iow&t fe wbfc Wee tther'6 wimonWe will begin the day with a stimulating seminar in Hittiteartifacts.

This is an essential. To learn to live fully andwell is an important part of education, and Marlboros are animportant part of living fully and well.

Shelley was so upsetthat he drowned himself in a butt of malmsey. Keats went toLondon and became Charlotte Bronte. Wordsworth ran blindlyinto the forest until he collapsed in a heap ten miles aboveTintern Abbey. There he lay for several years, sobbing andkicking his little fat legs. At length, peace returned to him. Helooked around, noted the beauty of the forest, and was so movedthat he wrote Joyce Kilmer’s immortal Trees...

EDWARD DAVIS, M.D.Chief of the Chicago Lying-In Hospital$2.95Classical Record Sale ContinuesTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO BOOKSTORE5802 ELLIS ****■.■» Letters toGNOSIS hits editorialTO THE EDITOR:With infallible foresight, theMaroon has leveled its attack at anas yet, non-existent GNOSIS gov¬ernment. We note with interestthat the Maroon attack did per¬form at least one valuable serv¬ice. It showed with profound in¬sight and real intellectual acumenthat Pam Procuniar would be amore likely candidate for a re¬sponsible position on the tutoringproject than would certain GNOSIScandidates. Moreover, we our¬selves woidd suggest that a newpost of music librarian be createdto provide a stimulating musicalbackground at SG meetings andto take complete advantage of PeteRabinowitz’s unquestionable experi¬ence.The Maroon unintentionally, weare sure, overlooked the potentiali¬ties of all three GNOSIS candidatesmentioned in the editorial, andmust have unknowingly failed tonotice the many extra-curricularservices each of them has per¬formed. This appears to be theargument: 1. Only those who haveserved in SG last year are com¬petent to serve this year. 2. OnlyPOLIT controlled SG last year andtherefore only POLIT served. 3.Therefore only POLIT is compe¬tent to serve this year. We pre¬sume that this argument will beused next year and the year afterand the year after . . .; we likewisepresume that because SenatorDirksen is now in the Senate, andknows all the Senators, and isacquainted with all the proceed¬ings, Senator Dirksen should bere-elected until he finally dropsdead, and that Richard Nixon, be¬cause of his intense training byPresident Eisenhower, was obvi¬ously more qualified to hold aresponsible position in the FederalGovernment than a certain youngsenator. This searching analysiswill, we are certain, be taken forprecisely what it is worth.GNOSIS EXECUTIVE BOARDThe Maroon is concerned only with“experience” as it relates to demon¬strated concern and familiarity withcampus problems, such as student-faculty relations, the curriculum, com¬munications, and in loco parentis; andnot as it involves the ability to surviveand participate in the parliamentarymanoeuvering that government repre¬sentatives indulge in.The experience we consider most im¬portant can be gained as well outsideSG as within it. Monday’s editorialmerely suggested that some of thePOUT representatives, who happen tohave served in SG this past year, ap¬pear to have more of this “experience”than some of the GNOSIS members,who happen not to' have served pre¬viously.—EditorBarbaric universitiesTO THE EDITOR:French President de Gaulle hastermed the Russians “les barbaresprimitifs” and the Americans “lesbarbares organizes.”Perhaps de Gaulle suggests ac¬curately, for would a civilizedcommunity destroy a structure soreplete with history as Hull House?It would be consonant with theAmerican business ethic if HullHouse were desecrated to makeway for a highway and more au¬tomobiles: destruction for suchpurposes is already making pockholes of our cities. The sight of a university reap¬ing the benefit from this travesty,rather than a highway project,seems to broaden the areas inwhich the term “barbaric” can beapplied to our society. If this isa reflection of the external valuesof a university, I wonder whatmanner of “values” are being in¬culcated into the minds of stu¬dents attending that college.DAVID L. LEVYGNOSIS representativediscusses problems ofinterest and experienceTO THE EDITOR:As a newly elected GNOSISrepresentative to Student Govern¬ment, 1 feel your editorial of April16 was both responsible and ac¬curate. Strange indeed is the elec¬toral system that enables a candi¬date to write himself into a one-to-one tie (library science election)for representation. Somo criticalrethinking about the present appor¬tionment plan is clearly overdue.However, your editorial is lack¬ing in two respects. First, you didnot mention the 26 per cent votetotal decrease from the 1962 elec¬tion figures. Secondly, interestingas your ideas regarding experiencenecessary for Student Governmentare, you fail to mention othersignificant viewpoints about theimportance of experience.First, it would seem the lowturnout can be partially attributedto a lessening of interest in Stu¬dent Government. Furthermore,the noticeably small turnout in thegraduate schools not only reflectsdisinterest, but downright disdainfor Student Government per se.Student Government evokes guf¬faws from many a graduate stu¬dent on this campus. The prevail¬ing opinion in the professionalschools was given impetus to ar¬ticulate itself by the actions ofSG officers this past year regard¬ing the Cuban Blockade and theannouncement of athletic scholar¬ships. The telegram sent to Wash¬ington “deploring” the blockade,coupled with the initial plans ofan SG officer to picket the schol¬arship announcement, justified orunjustified, gained little respectfrom not only graduate students,but also undergraduates, the fac¬ulty and administration and thegeneral public. Some of the pres¬tige losses suffered by SG fromthese matters can be very roughlygauged by the year’s opinion pollsand the election results. Furtherprestige losses with the admini¬stration and the general publicare difficult to assess, but surelythey exist.It seems somewhat clear thatSG must make a larger effort tocommunicate with the studentbody. This might be done by plac¬ing heavy emphasis on informingeach representation unit of theissues of Student Government,perhaps by a monthly mimeo ofsome sort. A massive effort alongthese lines, plus attempts to in¬crease contacts with and respectfrom the administration, is a cry¬ing need. Respect for an organiza-Coming..

Ext. 3280 tion breeds interest and co-opera¬tion. That respect should be gainedby communication of responsibleactions. The paltry turnout lastweek, at an “intelllectually aware”campus such as the University ofChicago certainly is, puts interesthere on a par with that at theUniversity of Illinois, down state,judged by electoral turnout. UIstudents are notoriously apathetictoward many matters non-alco¬holic.On point two, The MAROONeditorial suggests that experienceis a prime prerequisite for suc¬cess in Student Government andthat the operations of SG 'may becritically hampered by a lack ofsaid experience. The inexperienceof many of the newly electedmembers of SG is a fact. How¬ever, if one takes as the primaryfunction of Student Governmentthat of a training ground forlearning in such diverse fields asparliamentary law, political at¬titudes, local sociological problems,communicative processes, repre¬sentative government, leadership,oratorical abilities, etc., etc., thenthe real key to sucess becomesvery hard to measure. Success isthen judged by how much the indi-.viduals involved learn from theexperience, not by how much onealready knows before the exper¬ience.Furthermore, if the out¬going SG has done as much excel¬lent work as the MAROON editor¬ial submits, then crucial adminis¬trative aspects such as financialaffairs, relations with school of¬ficials and the organization ofvarious campus projects shouldsurely be well in order and readyfor tidy transference to the newgroup of leaders. This new group,GNOSIS, may be inexperienced,but could eventually prove quitecapable.DAVE BEALGives reviewer hints *TO THE EDITOR:I’ve just re-read the March 26review of Impatience, the 1963version of the Quadrangle Club’sannual Revel*.

The Maroonrarely provides such a show witha light-hearted review, which sug¬gests a certain literary laziness, orelse misapprehension that a lighttouch necessarily means lightweight. Granted, the deft touch iselusive and among critical punditsgenerally, all too rare. Yet it doesseem an art worth cultivating ifonly to insure that what one readsabout a show may be in its dif¬ferent way, as interesting to readas the show was to watch.It seemed too, that your review¬er let the show’s producer off tooeasily.

British wom¬en have had the vote tor 50 years,they have sat in Parliament forover 30, but this ancient universityinstitution still held out as a smallconsolation tor the battered Britishreactionary.The Oxford Union Society wasformed nearly 200 years ago as aprivate debating society modelledon the House of Commons.

The Union existsas a major force bringing the va¬rious colleges together into someform of corporate university life.It provides the chief social centrefor the university, and acts as thebasis for university politics andother activities.Women have long been admittedas guests of members, and theyhave recently even gained associ¬ate membership to take part in theSociety’s weekly debates.

It is a recognizedfact that they are a notoriouslyunderprivileged section of the Ox¬ford community as it is, and theirexclusion from its major institutionwas making matters no better.The Oxford reactionary, how¬ever, is a creature marvellouslyimmune to appeals of sexual equal¬ity. Even his traditional chivalryrecognizes certain limits. So it wasback to the concept of the ‘privatemale club’ that the defenders ofthe status quo went in their effortsto keep the women out. Womenwould lower the ‘tone’ of the place,they protested. The Oxford Unionwould become a students’ unionjust like any other university—and we were painted horrifyingpictures of what this would mean.But this was one lost cause forwhich Oxford was not going to pro¬vide a haven. The militant femi¬nists, armed with some attractivecanvassers and some good quoteson the rights of man (and women),succeeded, by a small margin, ingaining the necessary two thirdsmajority for the constitutionalamendment. A last ditch invocationof an ancient blackball rule to re¬ject each girl in turn was quicklydisposed of, and with a fanfarefrom the national press the ‘lastbastion of the English gentleman’fell to the enemy. A massive partywas held to celebrate.A postscript might be added tothe whole affair. For after the dusthad settled, the gossip columnistsreturned home, and ‘.he seasonedcampaigners found some otherworthy cause for their attention,it had to be admitted that nonereally noticed any difference.Women do not want to play bil¬liards, buy themselves drinks, orgo to the dances or the restaurantunaccompanied by a man; nor dothey particularly want to pay $40jyst to say they are allowed to.But that of course is not the point.16th century massat Bond SaturdayA special Easter concertwill be given by the Madri¬gal Singers of the CollegiumMusicum under the directionof Howard Brown in Bond Chapelnext Saturday, April 20.The concert is entitled "A Six¬teenth-Century Mass for EasterDay,” and is, according to Brown,“an attempt to reproduce themusical portion of an Easter massas it might have been celebratedin the first half of the sixteenthcentury.Among the composers to berepresented are Heinrich Jsaac,Antoine de Fevin, Antonio deCabezon, and Josquin des Prez.The concert will begin at 8:30;there is no admission charge.

Do we, forexample, know who fought in the Battle of Jenkins’ Ear, orKant’s epistemology, or Planck’s constant, or Valsalva’s maneu¬ver, or what Wordsworth was doing ten miles above TinternAbliey?If we do not, we are turning, alas, into specialists. Howthen can we broaden our vistas, lengthen our horizons- l>e-come, in short, educated?Well sir, the first thing we must do is throw away our curri¬cula. Tomorrow, instead of going to the same old classes, letus try something new. Let us not think of college as a rigiddiscipline, but as a kind of vast academic smorgasbord, withall kinds of tempting intellectual tidbits to savor, let’s startsampling tomorrow.k ws So wti k Wole jcnee ewmWe will begin the day with a stimulating seminar in Hittileartifacts.

Then we’ll go to home economicsand have lunch.And between classes we ll smoke Marlboro Cigarettes. This,let me emphasize, is not an added fillip to the broadening of©ur education.

Shelley was so upsetthat he drowned himself in a butt of malmsey. Keats went toLondon and became Charlotte Bronte. Wordsworth ran blindlyinto the forest until he collapsed in a heap ten miles alioveTintern Abbey. There he lay for several years, sobbing andkicking his little fat legs.

M.D.Chief of the Chicago Lying-In Hospital$2.95Classical Record Sale ContinuesTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO BOOKSTORE■ 5802 ELLIS Letters toGNOSIS hits editorialTO THE EDITOR:With infallible foresight, theMaroon has leveled its attack at anas yet, non-existent GNOSIS gov¬ernment. We note with interestthat the Maroon attack did per¬form at least one valuable serv¬ice. It showed with profound in¬sight and real intellectual acumenthat Pam Procuniar would be amore likely candidate for a re¬sponsible position on the tutoringproject than would certain GNOSIScandidates. Moreover, we our¬selves would suggest that a newpost of music librarian be createdto provide a stimulating musicalbackground at SG meetings andto take complete advantage of PeteRabinowitz’s unquestionable experi- The sight of a university reap¬ing the benefit from this travesty,rather than a highway project,seems to broaden the areas inwhich the term “barbaric” can beapplied to our society. If this isa reflection of the external valuesof a university, I wonder whatmanner of “values” are being in¬culcated into the minds of stu¬dents attending that college.DAVID L. LEVYence.The Maroon unintentionally, weare sure, overlooked the potentiali¬ties of all three GNOSIS candidatesmentioned in the editorial, andmust have unknowingly failed tonotice the many extra-curricularservices each of them has per¬formed. This appears to be theargument: 1. Only those who haveserved in SG last year are com¬petent to serve this year. 2. OnlyPOLIT controlled SG last year andtherefore only POLIT served. 3.Therefore only POLIT is compe¬tent to serve this year. We pre¬sume that this argument will beused next year and the year afterand the year after . . .; we likewisepresume that because SenatorDirksen is now in the Senate, andknow's all the Senators, and isacquainted with all the proceed¬ings, Senator Dirksen should bere-elected until he finally dropsdead, and that Richard Nixon, be¬cause of his intense training byPresident Eisenhower, was obvi¬ously more qualified to hold aresponsible position in the FederalGovernment than a certain youngsenator. This searching analysiswill, we are certain, be taken forprecisely what it is worth.GNOSIS EXECUTIVE BOARDThe Mar«x>n is concerned only with“experience” as it relates to demon¬strated concern and familiarity withcampus problems, such as student-faculty relations, the curriculum, com¬munications, and in loco parentis; andnot as it involves the ability to surviveand participate in the parliamentarymanoeuvering that government repre¬sentatives indulge in.The experience we consider most im¬portant can be gained as well outsideSG as within it. Monday’s editorialmerely suggested that some of thePOLIT representatives, who happen tohave served in SG this past year, ap¬pear to have more of this “experience”than some of the GNOSIS members,who happen not to' have served pre¬viously.—EditorBarbaric universitiesTO THE EDITOR:French President de Gaulle hastermed the Russians “les barbaresprimitifs” and the Americans “lesbarbares organizes.”Perhaps de Gaulle suggests ac¬curately, for would a civilizedcommunity destroy a structure soreplete with history as Hull House?It would be consonant with theAmerican business ethic if HullHouse were desecrated to makeway for a highway and more au¬tomobiles: destruction for suchpurposes is already making pockholes of our cities. GNOSIS representativediscusses problems ofinterest and experienceTO THE EDITOR:As a newly elected GNOSISrepresentative to Student Govein-ment, 1 feel your editorial of April16 was both responsible and ac¬curate. Strange indeed is the elec¬toral system that enables a candi¬date to write himself into a one-to-one tie (library science election)for representation. Some criticalrethinking about the present appor¬tionment plan is clearly overdue.However, your editorial is lack¬ing in two respects. First, you didnot mention the 26 per cent votetotal decrease from the 1962 elec¬tion figures. Secondly, interestingas your ideas regarding experiencenecessary for Student Governmentare, you fail to mention othersignificant viewpoints about theimportance of experience.First, it would seem the lowturnout can be partially attributedto a lessening of interest in Stu¬dent Government. Furthermore,the noticeably small turnout in thegraduate schools not only reflectsdisinterest, but downright disdainfor Student Government per se.Student Government evokes guf¬faws from many a graduate stu¬dent on this campus. The prevail¬ing opinion in the professionalschools was given impetus to ar¬ticulate itself by the actions ofSG officers this past year regard¬ing the Cuban Blockade and theannouncement of athletic scholar¬ships. The telegram sent to Wash¬ington “deploring” the blockade,coupled with the initial plans ofan SG officer to picket the schol¬arship announcement, justified orunjustified, gained little respectfrom not only graduate students,but also undergraduates, the fac¬ulty and administration and thegeneral public. Some of the pres¬tige losses suffered by SG fromthese matters can be very roughlygauged by the year’s opinion pollsand the election results. Furtherprestige losses with the admini¬stration and the general publicare difficult to assess, but surelythey exist.It seems somewhat clear thatSG must make a larger effort tocommunicate with the studentbody. This might be done by plac¬ing heavy emphasis on informingeach representation unit of theissues of Student Government,perhaps by a monthly mimeo ofsome sort. A massive effort alongthese lines, plus attempts to in¬crease contacts with and respectfrom the administration, is a cry¬ing need. Respect for an organiza¬ tion breeds interest and co-opera¬tion. That respect should be gainedby communication of responsibleactions. The paltry turnout lastweek, at an “intelllectually aware”campus such as the University ofChicago certainly is, puts interesthere on a pur with that at theUniversity of Illinois, downstate,judged by electoral turnout. UIstudents are notoriously apathetictoward many matters non-alco¬holic.On point two, The MAROONeditorial suggests that experienceis a prime prerequisite for suc¬cess in Student Government andthat the operations of SG may becritically hampered by a lack ofsaid experience. The inexperienceof many of the newly electedmembers of SG is a fact. How¬ever, if one takes as the primaryfunction of Student Governmentthat of a training ground forlearning in such diverse fields asparliamentary law, political at¬titudes, local sociological problems,communicative processes, repre¬sentative government, leadership,oratorical abilities, etc., etc., thenthe real key to sucess becomesvery hard to measure. Success isthen judged by how much the indi¬viduals involved learn from theexperience, not by how much onealready knows before the exper¬ience.Furthermore, if the out¬going SG has done as much excel¬lent work as the MAROON editor¬ial submits, then crucial adminis¬trative aspects such as financialaffairs, relations w'ith school of¬ficials and the organization ofvarious campus projects shouldsurely be well in order and readyfor tidy transferrence to the newgroup of leaders. This new group,GNOSIS, may be inexperienced,but could eventually prove quitecapable.DAVE BEALGives reviewer hintsComing..

British wom¬en have had the vote for 50 years,they have sat in Parliament torover 30, but this ancient universityinstitution still held out as a smallconsolation for the battered Britishreactionary.s The Oxford Union Society wasformed nearly 200 years ago as aprivate debating society modelledon the House of Commons. Sincethen it has gradually extended itsfacilities beyond those connectedexclusively with debating and hasbecome the premier university so--*■ ciety with its own library, restau¬rant, reading rooms, and bar.Membership was theoretically byelection only, but most male un¬dergraduates now join automatic¬ally as freshmen on payment of the$40 subscription. The Union existsas a major force bringing the va¬rious colleges together into someform of corporate university life.It provides the chief social centrefor the university, and acts as thebasis for university politics andother activities.Women have long been admittedas guests of members, and theyhave recently even gained associ¬ate membership to take part in theSociety’s weekly debates.

It is a recognizedfact that they are a notoriouslyunderprivileged section of the Ox¬ford community as it is, and theirexclusion from its major institutionwas making matters no better.The Oxford reactionary, how¬ever, is a creature marvellouslyimmune to appeals of sexual equal¬ity. Even his traditional chivalryrecognizes certain limits. So it wasback to the concept of the ‘privatemale club’ that the defenders ofthe status quo went in their effortsto keep the women out. Womenwould lower the ‘tone’ of the place,they protested. The Oxford Unionwould become a students’ unionjust like any other university—and we were painted horrifyingpictures of what this would mean.Rut this was one lost cause forwhich Oxford was not going to pro¬vide a haven. 'Hie militant femi¬nists, armed with some attractivecanvassers and some good quoteson the rights of man (and women),succeeded, by a small margin, ingaining the necessary two thirdsmajority for the constitutionalamendment. A last ditch invocationof an ancient blackball rule to re¬ject each girl in turn was quicklydisposed of, and with a fanfarefrom the national press the ‘lastbastion of the English gentleman’fell to the enemy. A massive partywas held to celebrate.A postscript might be added tothe whole affair. For after the dusthad settled, the gossip columnistsreturned home, and the seasonedcampaigners found some otherworthy cause lor their attention,it had to be admitted that nonereally noticed any difference.Women do not want to play bil¬liards, buy themselves drinks, orgo to the dances or the restaurantunaccompanied by a man; nor dothey particularly want to pay $40jyst to say they are allowed to.But that of course is not the point.16th century massat Bond SaturdayA special Easter concertwill be given by the Madri¬gal Singers of the CollegiumMusicum under the directionof Howard Brown in Bond Chapelnext Saturday, April 20.The concert is entitled "A Six¬teenth-Century Mass for EasterDay,” and is, according to Brown,“an attempt to reproduce themusical portion of an Easter massas it might have been celebratedin the first half of the sixteenthcentury.Among the composers to berepresented are Heinrich Isaac,Antoine de Fevin, Antonio deCabezon, and Josquin des Prez.The concert will begin at 8:30;there is no admission charge.HOBBY HOUSERESTAURANTOpen Dawn to DawnBREAKFASTLUNCH DINNERSNACKS1342 E. 53rd St. The schedule for the Mid¬west Film Festival, to be heldon campus from April 25 toApril 30, was a nnouncedyesterday.

Forty percent of the 2500 undergraduatesvoted; only the freshman classpassed the measure. The American Civil Liber¬ties Union (ACLU) has statedthat “good professional pro¬cedure’’ was lacking in thefiring recently of four members ofthe English Department at Frost-burg (Md.) State Teachers College.The four instructors were dis¬missed for attempting to use con¬troversial books and plays in theircourses.The Reverend Irving R. Murray,chairman of ACLU’s Marylandbranch, stated that the decision tofire the teachers was subject toconfirmation by the state Boardof Education, but that this has not been done yet. He added thatACLU will attempt to aid the fourin receiving legal counsel and ahearing before the board.Murray also pointed out that theFrostburg president had violateda Board law in dismissing the in¬structors when he did. The Boardlaw states that teachers may notbe dismissed after December 15in any academic year. The dismis¬sal of the four Frostburg teacherstook place on March 27 and 28.According to Murray, this almostdefinitely precludes their chancesof finding employment for nextyear.Tours of Robie startCLASSIFIED ADSAPTS., ROOMS, ETC.EFFICIENCY apt. unfurn.
