Chicago Maroon WEEKENDEDITION75th Anniversary YearVol. 75-No. 35 The University of Chicago February 3, 1967Wick Restores U-HouseHours Despite ViolationDean of Students Warner A. Wick has issued a sharptyworded letter to the president of University House in thewake of an incident last Friday.Wick indicated in the letter that he had originally plannedto suspend the new hours at Uni- China Conference Consensusversity House, which had been ineffect for less than a week.“However,” he stated, “I havebeen persuaded by the Inter-HouseCouncil to suspend my decision inorder to give us all an opportunityto clarify some of the responsibili¬ties that go with the assumption ofthe privileges of autonomy.”The incident, involving a UC boyand a high school girl, is being han¬dled through regular disciplanarychannels. Wick stated, however,that responsibility for the incidentdoes not rest with the individualstudent alone.“At the other extreme,” he said,the University and its officers areheld responsible for offenses bystudents. If we delegate authorityto the houses in order to encourageautonomous student institutions,they must share with us some of the less pleasant consequences ofour responsibility.”Reached by telephone, Paul Bur-stein, President of the Inter-HouseCouncl, (IHC), stated that his or¬ganization had Intervened in orderto preserve the principle of autono¬my.We stated, however that “theopen house hours are for the free¬dom of the students, but if thehours become a euphemism for for¬nication, they couldn't be permit¬ted.”“Continued abuse of this kind,”Burstein continued, “would justifya reduction in hours.”In other social rules develop¬ments, the IHC has submitted thenew hours proposals fall into thegeneral pattern of those alreadyapproved, and will be ruled on bynext Monday. Mao 'On His Way Out'* by Jeffrey KutaThe experts differ on the fundamental :ause and the probable consequences of theunrest in Communist China today, but they agree on two points:First, Chinese Communist Party Chairman Mao Tse-tung is an old man in a hurry to ac¬complish something before he goes out. The cultural revolution of the Red Guard will beshort-lived; Mao himself hopes thissacrifice of education to be endedsoon by the results he desires.Also, whatever the outcome ofMao’s tactics, it too will be short¬lived. Chinese leadership today consists of senior men, and withinten years a new and profoundly dif¬ferent group should be in charge ofthe nation.These predictions were summa-China Conference participants (I. to r.): Michel Oksenberg, ChalmersJohnson, Tang Tsou, Benjamin Schwartz, C.

SatterWASHINGTON—Forty-five student body presidents and college editors met with Secretaryof State Dean Rusk, Tuesday, in an attempt to convey the “disaffection of the campus main¬stream with the war in Vietnam.”The meeting was held in a conference room on the seventh floor of the State Department andwas the result of almost five i —months of work by a committee ofstudent body presidents.THE FIRST RESULT of their ef¬forts was a letter signed by 100 stu¬dent body presidents calling onPresident Johnson to engage in afrank discussion of the issues in¬volved in the Vietnamese War sothat such a discussion “Might helpreverse the drift, which is nowfrom confusion to disaffection.”The meeting with Rusk was ar¬ranged when Rusk answered theletter and invited the signers toWashington to meet with him anddiscuss their differences.Erosion of ConfidenceAt a press conference held Mon¬day in the National Press Club,Robert Powell, the president of theUniversity of North Carolina stu¬dent government and the spokes¬man for a group of the signers,said, “The student communityseems on the verge of a great ero¬sion of confidence in the Adminis¬ tration which could lead to an in¬creased spirit of non-cooperation.”Powell was later to tell the pressthat the group’s meeting with Ruskhad done little to bolster their con¬fidence in the Administration’splans in Southeast Asia.The meeting with Rusk began at4 pm and lasted for an hour and ahalf. The group agreed thatRusk’s remarks would be off therecord, in the interest of informali¬ty and a “meaningful dialogue.”EDWARD ROBINSON, presidentof the University of Michigan stu¬dent government council, was oneof seven people chosen as discus¬sion leaders by the student group.He opened the meeting by sayingto Rusk that the war in Vietnamwas of particular concern to thisgeneration of college students.“We’re the ones who’tr have to livewith the results of this policy andwe’re the ones who are going toLiberal Arts Conference Schedule Set“The Challenge of NewKnowledge,” this year’s Liber¬al Arts Conference (LAC ’67),will open with a speech byCollege Dean Wayne C. BoothWednesday afternoon.According to Booth, the Collegeis due for a program of speakers,issues, and discussion, and events,he said, have been scheduled so asnot to compete with each other.Principal speakers include DanielBell, visiting professor of sociologyfrom Columbia University, RichardP- Feynman, professor of physics atthe California Institute of Technolo¬ gy and James Dewey Watson, Har¬vard University professor of bio¬physics. LAC ’67 will also includemany members of UC’s own facul¬ty, giving speeches and participat¬ing in seminars.A partial schedule of LAC activi¬ties appears on page eleven of to¬day’s Maroon. The full LAC ’67schedule will appear in a specialtwelve-page supplement to Tues¬day’s Maroon. Besides telling moreabout the conference itself, theSupplement will take a critical lookat general education in the Collegeas it is today, as it was, and as itmay be in the future. have to do the fighting,” he said.Concession?In the discussion that followed,the students asked Rusk whatconcessions the United States waswilling to make to the other side inorder that they have some interestin negotiating a settlement to thewar.This question, which took up asubstantial part of the discussionwas not answered satisfactorily byRusk, in the view of many of thosepresent.The student body president fromColgate University questioned thecontention that representative gov¬ernment was on its way in SouthVietnam. “It is my understand¬ing,” he said, “that Mr. Ky is thehead of a military junta and, to thebest of my knowledge there hasnever been a military dictator whohas stepped down willingly.” Thestudent said it seemed logical thatKy and the South Vietnamese gov¬ernment had a vested interest inprolonging the war.BROUGHT UP AT the meeting,were questions about the specificrole of the National LiberationFront in possible peace negotia¬tions, doubts about the nature ofAmerican obligations in Vietnamunder the South East Asia TreatyOrganization (SEATO) charter andquestions about the nature of theconflict, and its categorization byRusk as aggression from the North.An important emphasis of themeeting was the question of the fu¬ture of United States policy.Gregory Craig, the president ofthe Harvard Undergraduate Coun¬cil and a spokesman for the grouptold Rusk that the student signerswere willing to see the UnitedStates make “give up something” in the interest of a peaceful settle¬ment to the war.At a press conference held in thelobby of the State Departmentbuilding, Tuesday evening, RobertPowell said that the meeting hadconvinced the student signers thatthe United States is still thinking interms of a military solution to theVietnam problem. “While we’reconvinced that the United States issincerely seeking peace,” he said,we are not sure that the govern¬ment is willing to accept a settle¬ment that will consider the inter¬ests of the other side. Powell wenton to say that the group’s doubtshad not been eased. “The disaffec¬tion and erosion of confidence inthe Administration is going to become more widespread and perva¬sive. We had hoped that Mr. Ruskwould help to resolve these anxie¬ties but after meeting with him weregret to report that he only con¬firmed many of these misgivingsand generated others.”THE GROUP OF signers has ap¬pointed a committee to start workon a letter to President Johnson.They hope to “continue the dia¬logue” possibly by meeting withthe President.Returned Peace Corpsvolunteers who are in¬terested in seeing a copyof a proposed letter toPresident Johnson protest¬ing the war in Vietnamshould call Skip Andrew at327-3826.Andrew is recruitingsigners in the Chicago areaand can be reached allday Saturday.

Fitzgerald, professorof Far Eastern history at Austral¬ian National University. Six otherChina experts were participants inthis first open-door session of theAcademy for Policy Study’s confer¬ence on “China’s Heritage and theCommunist Political System,”which ends tomorrow.TANG TSOU, professor of politi¬cal science here and a fellow of theAcademy, cited four possible out¬comes of the China turmoil:• Atablishparty chairman could ignore existing political structure and initiatehis own programs.• Adoption by Mao of his oppo¬nents’ policies would settle the in¬ternal conflict, but would be a per¬sonal defeat.• Victory by the opposition wouldresult in repudiation, revision, orreinterpretation of Maoist thought.A new regime would be establishedwith difficulty.• A stalemate would subject Maoto continued criticism and wouldbegin to destroy the Chinese peo¬ple’s confidence in him.Tsou claimed that “the excessesof the Red Guard and the naivity ofpolitical tactics call to questionMao’s wisdom.” He called theChinese unrest “a result of a pro¬found crisis in the Chinese politicalsystem.”According to Chalmers Johnson,an associate professor of politicalscience at the University of Califor¬nia at Berkeley, the quality ofMao’s tactics does not comparewith his political stature in Chinatoday.'Revolutionary Romantic'“Mao is a revolutionary roman¬tic, an old man who is attemptingto relinquish his authority in favorof a formal political structure to beguided by his image. But his poli¬cies are outworn.”Michel Oksenberg, an assistantprofessor of government at Stan¬ford University, asserted that Chi¬na’s internal conflict cannot be at¬tributed only to Mao. Any countryas underdeveloped as China suffersthe same disparity between popula¬tion and economy, and the RedGuard, he said, is a result of this.The excessive chaos reported bymuch of the American press, headded, is exaggerated.Attempting to offer a compro¬mise view, Benjamin Schwartz,professor of government at Har¬vard University, claimed that whileMao’s behavior has been in re¬sponse to real problems, his man¬ner of reaction is idealistic.BEFORE HE dies, Schwartz con¬tinued, Mao wants to present tothe world his own political modelbased neither on Western or on So¬viet Russian systems. “In the shortrun Mao may enjoy victory, but inthe long run his model won’twork,” he asserted.Ezra Vogel, a research assistantin the East Asia Research Centerat Harvard University, said hethinks the Chinese unrest is a re¬sult of a power struggle more thananything else. Since the end of1965, he explained, there has beena “systematic cleaning up of oppo¬sition to Mao.”No Consensus, But./ tl,nti-War Mobilizes Ponder Action Bank Sit-In CostsStudents $50 EachThe Student MobilizationCommittee to end the war inVietnam (SMC), was unable toarrive at a consensus, but con¬sidered several passible ways tonro'est the war at its meeting Wed-n sday night.Dan Friedlander. a graduate stu¬dent in economies and the organi¬zation’s head, led the group at itssecond meeting in a discussion ofwhat actions are appropriate.Friedlander participated in a na¬tional conference to consider actionagainst the war held at UC Decem¬ber 28-30.THE BEST SOURCE FORArtist’s MaterialsComplete Picture FramingServiceMounting; Matting Non-GlareGlass - School SuppliesBE SURE TO ASK FORWEEKLY SPECIALDUNCAN'S1305 E. 53rd HY 3-411110% STUDENT DISCOUNTON $10 OR MOREEUROPE59 Student Tours21 to 73 daysBy jet, ship, studentflight &Bicycle, Hobo,Workcamp andStudy Tours.from $330.Call campus rep eves, or week¬ends at 262-3765.weekends through February 5thJAMES BALDWIN'SBLUES FORMR.

What’s more, there seems tobe a fairly sizeable number of buy¬ers where it is offered.That seems to be the picture atpresent, as several colleges anduniversities, large and small, haverecently offered students the oppor¬tunity of taking some courses with¬out receiving the usual grades.AT A number of institutionswhich have not yet taken this step,committees of students or facultyare discussing similar plans.One such committee at UC isconsidering the entire question ofgrades. It is chaired by David Wil¬liams, Professor of English andformer College Examiner.The faculty of the college at Co¬lumbia University voted in Decem¬ber to join Princeton and Brown inthe Ivy League by offering studentsthe option of taking one pass-failcourse each term. Other large uni¬versities which have already ap¬proved similar systems includeCalifornia Institute of Technology,Stanford and Berkeley.Many smaller colleges are alsotrying the system. These rangefrom Bennington, Mount Holyoke,and Queens College among theEastern schools, to Pomona andSan Jose Slate College in the West,with a long line in the middle, in¬cluding Grinnell, Oberlin, Knox,and Carleton colleges. of the compulsive competition, andresultant anxiety, for high grade-point averages.By allowing students to choosesome courses which will not becounted into their averages, thefeeling is, they will feel more freeto take courses in which they areinterested but might not make highgrades.MOST COLLEGES limit the op¬tion to upperclassmen, who areusually allowed to take only onecourse per term on the pass-fail ba¬sis. A pass-fail course must usual¬ly be taken outside the student’smajor field. A few colleges do notcount courses taken on the pass-failbasis toward graduation require¬ments.At Columbia, students are al¬lowed to take one course in a ma¬jor field on the P.F. basis. Accord¬ing to John W. Alexander, associ¬ate dean for student affairs, thisenables students to “try out” afield for a major.Cal Tech instituted the systemfor somewhat special reasons—tohelp new students adjust to the spe¬cial technical curriculum with lesscompetitive strain.

M. Decornoy?Decornoy: I spent the latter half ofSeptember and all of October in theSouth. Then I went to Cambodia. Iwas in the North for four weeksduing November and December.Maroon: Where did you travel?Decornoy: In the South I was inSaigon and on patrol with UStroops—Marines, infantry, the 1stCavalry Division. In the North Iwent to Hanoi, Haiphong, Viet Tri,Nam Dinh. several smaller cities,and rural districts in the Red Riverdelta.Maroon: Was it difficult for you toget around?Decornoy: No, very easy by heli¬copter or plane. You can’t go byroad, though—you know why. Inthe North, I rented a car with achauffeur. I had to have an inter¬preter and tw'o communist cadrescome along, too. However, this wasdone even for Eastern Europeancorrespondents.It was difficult but possible totravel in the north. I generally tra¬velled at night. The main roadshave bombholes, but there are de¬tours which work almost as well.When a bridge is destroyed, it isusually replaced by a bamboobridge or sampans. You have to goa little slower then, but you canstill travel.Railroads also run between thecities at night. When a railroad isbombed, dedicated young peoplerepair it at night. In two or three jdays the trains are running again. II saw one small iron bridge 1which the Americans have tried re¬peatedly to destroy. They have lostone plane attacking it. The North ;Vietnamese told me that when theAmericans succeed in knocking itout, which they will do. it can bereplaced by a bamboo bridge intwo hours.Maroon: Were you able to meetwith any high officials?Decornoy: That wras very easy. Inthe South I talked with General jWestmoreland as well as top Viet¬namese civil servants and province jofficials. I met with General Giap ;in the North and saw Ho Chi Minh,but did not ask for an interview.When I arrived in Hanoi, officialsasked me whom I wanted to see. Igave them a list of names and theypicked some for me from that list.Maroon: What impressed you mostabout your visit to the North?Decornoy: The calm; the very highmorale of the people. There isstrong backing for the government.There is strong feeling for endingthe war, but not on the conditionsdemanded by the US. There is adetermination to keep on fighting iftheir own terms are not met. Thisis true also for the young people,who were not involved in the fight¬ing against the French and theChinese.Maroon: How does this comparewith sentiment in the South?Decornoy: Outside of the govern¬ment officials, I could find only ahandful who supported Ky’s gov¬ernment. A minority favors US in¬tervention. I had no feeling that theUS was gaining control of the land.Even where they do occupy anarea they lose control of it at night.Even if military victory could beachieved, and I think that is impos¬sible, it wouldn’t solve the problem,which is entirely political.Maroon: Do you think Ky will beable to remain in power?Decornoy: As long as he has American backing. Still, I feel he is becoming more and more isolated inhis own country. He is a refugeefrom the North and was more orless kicked out by his own government. Most of the top government Jacques Decornoy- - <officials now are from the North.The Southern politicians are eitherout of power or are delegates in theConstitutional Assembly. Ky is even getting seperated from thepolicymakers in Saigon.Maroon: What do you regard asthe short-term prospetcs for thewar?Decornoy: I don't foresee anyimmediate change in the war oneither side. I don't see how anycompromise can be reached. West¬moreland and General Giap bothsaid it would be a long war.Maroon: What possible solution doyou see to the war, if any?Decornoy: I think the first, bomb¬ing of the North must stop uncondi¬tionally. One way or another, the(National Liberation) Front mustbe taken into consideration. Theremust be a start to contacts with theFront. The Front refuses to be con¬sidered as a branch of the North,which it isn’t. The North isn’t ask¬ing for withdrawal of a singleAmerican GI just a promise thatthe US will do so eventually. With¬drawal of troops should be the ma¬jor topic of a peace conference.Maroon: Did you see any evidenceTen reasonsShe will want youto take a jobin Automation at of Chinese or Russian aid to NorthViet Nam?Decornoy: Yes. The North gets ricefrom China. A big percentage ofRussian aid comes via China. I sawquite a few light weapons, such assubmachine guns, which weremade in China. Chinese workerscross the border to make repairs »on the railroad linking China to Ha¬noi, which incidentally is Chineseaid.There were hundreds of Russiananti-aircraft guns and MIG 21’s. Inthe harbor of Haiphong there werelots of Eastern European shipswaiting to be unloaded.Hanoi was crowded with brand-new Czech and Russian trucks atnight. There was no shortage ofgasoline for the trucks, despite theAmerican bombing of fuel dumps. Ipresume the gasoline comes fromRussia.Maroon: Do you envision any esca¬lation of the war?Decornoy: I don’t think there willbe any major geographical exten¬sion of the war. I don’t think there is any danger for Cambodia or Chi¬na. But Laos is being bombedevery day and every night UStroops are already involved infighting in northeast Tailand.However, sending infantry intothe Mekong Delta is a major esca¬lation. Five to six million peoplelive there. Having a permanentforce there will hamper rice-growing and increase the flow ofrefugees to Saigon. The countrywill have to import more and morerice, whereas formerly it was amajor rice exporter. As you getinto the Delta, you’ll need moreand more troops, because 25,000men is nothing in such a largearea.Maroon: What did you learn fromyour visit to Viet Nam?Docomoy: I knew the situation wasbad, but not so bad for the US. 1had not realized how great the USinvolvement was. On the otherside, I had not imagined howstrong the resistance was in theface of such powerful opposition.1. The McDonnell Automation Center is rapidly becoming a "name'’in data handling services.

The Washington Post described 18 of them as a “pipe¬smoking contingent” without beards or sandals. The Postmight have added that the students could not easily be dis¬missed as beatnik radicals who offend the general populationevery bit as much as they offend the State Department.RUSK’S MEETING with the students was off the record asfar as his remarks went, but the student participants were atpains afterward to stress that the rift between the Administra¬tion and the “New Middle” was far from healed.During the meeting Rusk was cordial, impressively intellec¬tual, and considerably more frank and less simplistic than hehas often seemed in public utterances. He also, however, dem¬onstrated to the satisfaction of just about everyone presentthat the United States is a long way from totally committedto a negotiated settlement to the Vietnamese War.At the press conference held after the meeting, the studentpresidents and college editors reaffirmed that the split be¬tween the people who make policy and the children of theEstablishment is still very real.THERE’S SOMETHING that seems to be inherent in Ameri¬can culture that finds us glorifying our leaders out of all pro¬portion to what their positions or accomplishments warrant.This goes for student leaders as well—sometimes it’s especiallytrue.The signers of the letter to President Johnson are nowtrying to keep the dialogue going. Another letter is being draft¬ed and there is hope of meeting President Johnson himself.In the meantime, the defection of the “New Middle” putsincreasing pressure on the Administration to find an alterna¬tive to our present policy.Platonic DialogueThe scene: a room in Pierce Tower. The time: shortly.—“Bill, would you mind going someplace else this after¬noon?”—“Why?”. .“Well, Charlene is coming up here, and,you know. . .”—“But Rob, I have this paper to type.”—“Oh,you can type it in the library.”—“But that’s five blocks away,and it’s snowing.”—“Be a good fellow, would you, Bill. Youknow I’d do the same for you if you had a girl.” Exit Bill,with typewriter and scowl.A trivial incident, but life is made up of them, isn’t it?Excited as we are about the idea of the new hours, ourenthusiasm has its limits.

Permitting housesto submit specific hours schedulesfor approval—schedules whichare filtered through a superfluoussuperstructure (the IHC)—is not“house autonomy.”The idea of house autonomy (asit was originally used and con¬ceived) is based on the notion thateach house should democraticallydetermine its own social regula¬tions. The house was consideredthe appropriate autonomous unitbecause both the physical layoutand the personal preferences ofresidents differ from house tohouse, dorm to dorm.The point about house auton¬omy is simply that "sufficient"privacy and "sufficient" visitationprivileges are values to be de¬fined by the members of thehouse together —n o t by Mr.Wick's notions of what is moralor immoral, not by a residenthead's pseudo-psychological be¬liefs about what is "healthy" forhis charges, not by what the IHCconsiders "reasonable," "moder¬ate," or "approporaite externalcontrol."It was clear last quarter, fromthe tenor of Wick’s memorandumto the IHC, that the concept ofhouse autonomy was about to un¬dergo a brutal mutilation.While it was clear that, in trueadministration style, Wick wantedto use the IHC to undertake somekind of change, some of us whowatch with interest what goes onin our former residences wereskeptical over the paternalistic role which the IHC and even thehouse councils were being in¬duced to play.But the IHC had to be given thechance to carry the deal through,to demonstrate that they couldrepresent the real interests ofdormitory residents, and not dis¬tort those interests for the sake ofbuilding a power-role for them¬selves. I’d hoped that the IHCwould do what many of us at SGintended the proposed all-collegesocial rules committee to do: turnthe power over to the houses.But the rhetoric of illusion—anadministrative forte—became therhetoric of the IHC. With its reso¬lution on “positive autonomy” theIHC demonstrated how caraivo-rously it had swallowed Wick's“philosophical” contrivances. Andnow that every proposal for realautonomy has been rejected, wehave the opportunity to see whatthis new breed of autonomymeans. Essentially, Mr. Wick issaying to the houses: “You maydecide what is best for you ... solong as your decision is what Ithink is best for you,” and theIHC has joined the chorus. And inthe midst of this verbal haze,these people have missed, or ig¬nored, the point.The key problem in the houseautonomy issue is not—as Wick’setymological exercises would de¬lude us—a question of emphasison regulation or the lack of it.The one implies the other, andvice versa. The question is not thedegree of regulation, but thesource and basis of it.When a house is an autonomouscommunity, the source of regula¬tion is the students themselves,who, through discussion, developan understanding of their com¬mon interest —the “generalgood,” you might say—and makea decision. This decision can bechanged through the same pro¬cess, as experience with one oranother system suggests the pos¬sibility of further liberalization orthe need to correct serious injus¬tices to some members. So longas a spirit of experimentation anda respect for the legitimate needsof others prevails, democracy is amost workable system.Moreover, with house autono¬my, the very basis of regulationchanges. What is symbolicallyconsistent with somebody - or -other’s image, of a “hard work¬ ing University,” or what some¬body thinks the proper “style oflife” is irrelevant. Under houseautonomy the question to be de¬cided is what regulations willmaximize the opportunity of eachperson to shape his own lifestyle—not what controls will moldeveryone into the same life style.It has become clear that mereliberalization and real autonomyare two different things: two dif¬ferent processes are involved.Only with the latter are the mem¬bers involved in developing, continually, through their own humanprocesses, flexible, intelligent re¬sponses to both the realities of so¬cial interdependence and the existential limitations of the environ¬ment.Norms in this situation becomepractical means to expedite hu¬manistic ends. Moreover, theyare capable of being tested, eval¬uated, and changed within thecommunity and its members.Norms cease to be a reflection ofthe moral or psychological incli¬nations of outsiders, cease to de¬rive from the manipulative mo¬tives so unconsciously masked in“concern for order and deco¬rum.”The scene is filled with peoplewho act to stifle real self-government. In this class wemust regretfully include the IHC.For it must be asked, why is thepresident of one house “approv¬ing” the hours of another? Thereis a role for inter-house and in¬ter-dorm bodies—but not to inter¬vene in the internal affairs of anyone house. Only when matterscease in effect to be internal doesanyone outside have any justfranchaise.In conclusion, I can only saythat external power of veto is in¬consistent with autonomy; andthat I hope the IHC, the councils,and, above all, the residents willtake steps to achieve autonomy.In that very effort, autonomy—indeed “house community”—willbegin to take on meaning.So far, “house autonomy” is themost blatant example of the “Fic¬tion of Rhetoric” we have seen onthis campus since last spring.(Mr. Lipsch is chairman of theStudent Government Campus Ac¬tion Committee.)mmLetters to the Editormmmm * £ 80SS V stFiske ReportTO THE EDITOR:The Maroon editorial of Janu¬ary 17 located a serious inadequa¬cy of the Fiske Committee Re¬port. The Committee’s failure toreach a decision on the rank or topropose a framework in whichsuch a decision can be reacheddoes indeed leave the most impor¬tant problem to the Committee ofthe Council of the Faculty Senate.If, however, as the editorialstates, the members of the Facul¬ty Council have only “their ownconsciences” to guide them inreaching a decision, the FiskeCommittee was justified in its ret¬icence. Its apparent aim was tofind some ground for decision inthe “facts” of the situation. Whenit failed to find such grounds, theCommittee balked at the idea ofappending to a document incon¬clusive in its factual implicationsa decision based solely on the dic¬tates of conscience, for men com¬ mitted to academic .values suchasobjectivity hesitate to say,“Although the facts are inconclu¬sive, I still believe. . .” Thisstatement is not “scientific” andit was with “scientific” objectivi¬ty that the facts in the Fiske Re¬port were collected.The long controversy over rank¬ing and the present “complex andinvolved” status of the issue re¬sults from a conflict of severalsystems of value. A decision onthe rank has a different meaningin each of these systems. One fac¬tion of the University Community,certainly the most vociferous, hasmade it a purely “moral” issuewhich transcends both the inter¬ests of individuals and the inter¬est of the community at large.From this position the view is asimple one: if the University pro¬vides a class rank it is cooperat¬ing with an immoral SelectiveService system which is sendinginnocent boys to an immoral war.This attitude is bound up withviews about the unjustness of the2S deferment and the basic *wickedness of the system. In thisview a decision not to rank wouldbe a gesture of purification of thecommunal conscience whichwould in turn absolve all mem¬bers of the community of anyguilt in the unjust workings of theU.S. Government. There is noroom for considering the practicalconsequences of not ranking inthis argument, for the interests ofindividuals are subordinate to animperative “moral” dictate. Tothe faithful this dictate is suffi¬cient reason for abandoning classrank, but to the unsaved it is un¬convincing.On the opposite pole of the dis¬cussion are groups like the FiskeCommittee, who in their zeal forobjectivity discuss the possiblepractical consequences of the de¬cision not to rank without consid¬ering the subjective values in thesituation. Any such considerationwould jeopardize the “Truth” intheir work, which is the value to(Continued on Page Seven)s 'J~ m ■Letters to the Editor of the Maroon wm, j \ ' , - M MM M %k i-(Continued from Page Six)which they fell the strongest alle¬giance. They had hoped that theTruth about the situation would re¬veal a consistent course of action,but by their own admission it hasnot. They have provided an im¬portant source of informationabout the way things work, butthey cannot on that basis tell uswhat we ought to do.Both the value of Purity and thevalue of Truth have a universalapplication which does not shedmuch light on the particular prob¬lem faced by the University Com¬munity, i.e., should this Universi¬ty provide class ranks for under¬graduate males? Since it is thedeliberative body of the Universi¬ty Community that must decidethis matter which affects many ofthe members of that community,it seems only reasonable to askhow a decision to rank or not torank would affect the community.The ends which this communitypursues could best be called liber¬al education and scholarly pro¬duction. Since the ranking issue isconcerned with undergraduates,only the former is relevant here.The ranking question has a parti¬cular and explicit form whenasked in terms of this end: willranking or not ranking have anyeffect on the pursuit of liberal ed¬ucation by undergraduate malesand their professors? The FiskeReport tells us that undergradu¬ate males think that ranking iseight times as important as itreally is in determining theirchoice of courses. The report fur¬ther shows that ranking has littleeffect in their choice of majors. Itis undeniable, however, that rank¬ing interferes to some extent inthe normal process of liberal edu¬cation. Faculty members are sim¬ilarly disturbed by the non-academic implications of theirgrading systems. It appears thatboth students and teachers wouldbe happier without a class rankbut that they can survive its in¬terference with some dignity andintegrity.What, on the other hand, wouldbe the effect of eliminating therank? In the piece of the FiskeReport that The Maroon has giv¬en us there is no evidence whichcan answer this question. Thereare two possibilities: draft boardswill recognize the legitamacy ofthe University’s decision or theywill not. In the latter case someundergraduate males who wouldotherwise remained in school willbe drafted. In terms of liberal ed¬ucation this means that some peo¬ple who would have been liberallyeducated will not be. Certainlythis is a definite loss the commu¬nity, for its end is the liberal edu¬cation of someone. If there is apossibility that students who couldnot provide a class rank would bedrafted, then there should be aclass rank, for the positive detri¬ment to the community of havingits members drafted far out¬weighs the inconvenience of hav¬ing them worried.From the above considerationsthe best course of action seemsobvious. The University shouldcompile a class rank until it hasgood reason to believe that no stu¬dent will be drafted because heis unable to provide his draft-hoard with his rank. The experi¬ence of those institutions whichhave abolished rank will in timetell us whether or not that aboli¬tion was a wise move. In themean time, the business at handis to p-ovide the best possible lib¬eral education to all those whowish to acquire it. Students andfaculty who eare about that edu¬cation will not compromise it. Itis a value that is essential to thevery life we lead in this communi¬ ty, and it should be foremost inall decisions affecting that life.DON H. BIALOSTOSKYSouth AfricaTO THE EDITOR:After having read a leaflet dis¬tributed by “Christianity andCrises” and UC-SDS portrayingthe racial situation in South Afri¬ca as one based on racial hatredand white supremacy (a situationpropogated by the government), Idismissed the matter as a typicalpolitical maneuver—the latter anactivity for which I hold very lit¬tle affinity. Upon second thoughthowever, I thought it would beirresponsible not to answer tosome gross misunderstandings onthe part of the mentioned org¬anizations.To answer fully, will be impos¬sible, seeing that the situation isextremely complicated. After avisit to S. Africa, the Dean ofKings College, Cambridge (Eng¬land) wrote in a newsletter re¬cently: “If one impression pre¬dominates, it is this—that we inBritain tend to hold an over¬simplified view of the peoples andpolicies in South Africa. Thewhole situation, touch it at what¬ever point, is far more compli¬cated than I for one had realizedIt’s one thing to inveigh againstapartheid doctrine and laws: it’squite a different thing to discoveralternative policies which arecapable of meeting the complexpractical problems of the presentand the future.”The mentioned organizationspurported the situation to bewhite minority rule and publisheda quotation which is supposed tohave been said by the late Dr.Verwoerd. I wonder how couldmentioned organizations imaginethe white S. Africans to be asnaive as that. Has Africa notlearned over and over again thatNO minority could rule a majori¬ty in Africa today without resis¬tance. Could it ever be possiblefor whites in S. Africa to be soblind as not to see the hard factsof Africa? No, I doubt it sincere¬ly. Dr. Verwoerd said the follow¬ing in parliament in Jan. 1965:“As long as domination of onerace by another exists there willbe resistance and unrest. Conse¬quently, the solution should besought by means of a policywhich is calculated to eliminatedomination in every form and ev¬ery respect.” He spoke on behalfof whites who are in Africa them¬selves and cannot afford not totake notice of what is happeningnearby. On March 1961 already,he said: “We want each of thepopulation groups to control andgovern themselves, as is the casewith other nations.”Seeing that domination of onenation by the other is neitherpractically possible nor morallyjustifiable, the Government of theRepublic of South Africa is assist¬ing in the development of the ter¬ritories in Southern Africa whichoriginally belonged to the blacks,with the aim of full self rule byit’s peoples. The situation in S.A.is thus not to be compared to theracial situation in the UnitedStates. It distinguishes itself bythe fact that different nationswith different cultures and dif¬ferent languages are seeking nowto have their full sovereignity intheir perspective geographicalareas without denying the otherthe same opportunity. No manhas the right to prevent anotherthe full realization of his self. Anypolicy ignoring this moral reality, is bound to be met with resist¬ance.I do not doubt the sincerety erfthe above mentioned organiza¬tions. But I think it would be wisefor them to rethink their role andrely on all the facts available be¬fore acting on principles dear tothem.RUDOLPH VAN NIEKERKConsiderationsTO THE EDITOR:In regard to the recent clamoramong some students at UC re¬questing the University withdrawits funds deposited in the Conti¬nental Illinois National Bank, Ithink certain things should be tak¬en into consideration.While an undergraduate atSvvarthmore College, I observedthe same kind of agitation direct¬ed at the Chase Manhattan Bank.However, the protesting students,while debating the issue, forgot tomention that this apartheid-lovinggiant was also a Black Power ad¬vocate, in light of its loans toSNCC.Secondly, the students protest¬ing obviously disapprove of thegovernment of South Africa. I de¬test apartheid as much as anysystem of government in theworld, including Communism. ButI also feel that actions such ascutting off the U.S.-Russia wheatdeals and curtailing bank loans toSouth Africa, while re-emphasingour nation’s beliefs, would simplylead to more unnecessary ill willamong the world’s nations. Sincemany of last Monday’s demon¬strators have also taken part indemonstrations against current illwill among nations, they shouldbe prepared to face the conse¬quences of more international illwill when we place sanctionsagainst any government of whomwe disapprove.Finally, there comes the ques¬tion of the theme of the move¬ment, “Freedom, Now!” Free¬dom for whom? The chief aim of90% of the people of South Africais to become first rate citizens.By all means, these people shouldbe given the rights to pursue theirgoals freely. But this does notmean that other people’s freedomshould be taken away. Surely,Continental executives are fullyaware of the situation in SouthAfrica, and they don’t need con¬tact with college students to in¬form them of misdoings there.Apparently, they have decided toretain some interests in South Af¬rica. Continental has every bit asmuch right to administer theirpolicies as they see fit as much asthe population of South Africa isentitled to a decent way of life.Unless the theme of the move¬ment officially becomes “Free¬dom for some, restraint againstothers, Now!”, students have nobusiness to demand withdrawal ofUC deposits at Continental. Such“Freedom” proclamations as theone in the preceding sentence,while never having been pro¬claimed except in Orwell’s works,have been the underlying tool ofanarchy. Continental should havethe freedom to settle this probleminternally, rather than have it de¬cided for them externally.THOMAS WATTSGRADUATE SCHOOL OFBUSINESS A QueryTO THE EDITOR:A query: Having taken on theContinental Illinois National Bankfor loaning money to South Afri¬ca, will SDS join the Birch Socie¬ty in boycotting Polish hams, theInternational Longshoremen’s As¬sociation in picketing shipping toand from the Soviet bloc, theYoung Americans for Freedom inforcing American rubber compa¬nies to cancel proposed plant con¬struction in Eastern Europe?I ask partly because of the ex¬periences of a white South Afri¬can friend of mine: hating aparth¬eid, he felt the Soviet systemmight offer an alternative. How¬ever, having spent several yearsin the USSR (losing his South Af¬rican citizenship), he came to theconclusion that the minorities rul¬ing the Soviet bloc yield little toSouth Africa in “maintainingpower by coercion in the face ofone of the major forces of modernhistory—the drive toward free¬dom and human dignity.”RICHARD HELLIELand of Make BelieveTO THE EDITOR:This year’s Student Governmentspeaker program seems to aim ata land of make-believe, an effortdepending on two primarymeans: psychedelic drugs andclassical liberal economics.Ludwig von Mises’ discussion of“100 years of Marxian socialism”of the past week appeared to bebased on unbiased and accurateknowledge of Marx to the samedegree as Doctor Leary’s presen¬tation depended on professionalunderstanding of psychology andbiochemistry. I think I could havelearned as much from Radio FreeEurope or a Junior Achievementsmanual.Von Mises first attempted toprove the gross hypocrisy ofMarx and Engels. He derided thetwo authors for having contendedthat ideology was determined byone’s social class, while theythemselves, although of bourgeoisbackground, fought in the nameof the proletariat. Von Mises citedthe Communist Manifesto, whichindicates the possibility of select¬ed individuals taking the side ofthe more progressive class asrevolution nears, as only anexcuse by Marx and Engels toslip out of their own ideologicaldilemma.Contrary to von Mises and othervulgar Marxists and vulgar anti-Marxists, Marx never claimed theindividual’s life or opinions weredetermined by his class. A verybasic principle in Marxistthought, found as early as the1844 Manuscripts and the GermanIdeology, indicates theindividual’s responsibility for ris¬ing above his background.Von Mises next dealt with“Marx’s total misunderstandingof the capitalist process,” in as¬suming that the capitalist systemwould lead to almost universalpoverty, and consequently, a rev¬olution. Von Mises contended thatsince capitalist production wasfor the masses rather than therich, it had to do the opposite, asit has in the United States.Von Mises seems to have over¬looked the point that Marxpraised the industrial systemwhich had matured under capital¬ism. He never denied its ability tocreate wealth, or a vast quantityof goods available to industrialworkers.But for Marx, the mechanismleading to impoverishment wasno< involved directly with abilityto buy goods, that is, with the dis¬ tribution process. The source ofprofit for the capitalist is a por¬tion of unpaid labor exacted fromhis employees, or surplus value.This is the direct cause of pover¬ty.In Marx’s theory, moreover, rev¬olutionary conditions result froma series of eeonomis crises of in¬creasing severity. This phenome¬non ruins all but the most suc¬cessful capitalists. Wages mayactually rise as the capitalist sys¬tem continues. But, as Marxwrites, a greater and greater pro¬portion of society becomes sepa¬rated from the means of production, and consequently extremelyvulnerable in economic catastro-phy. This formulation is not in theleast precluded by the fact thatthe capitalist industrial systemhas the ability to produce goodsfor the masses.In order to prove Marx histori¬cally wrong, von Mises tried toshow how Europe’s socialists tra¬ditionally preach nationalization,knowing it can lead only to eco¬nomic collapse. Does this conten¬tion not presuppose the total in¬sanity or complete opportunism ofEurope’s most outstanding men inthe last century?I myself am not a Marxist. ButI was not impressed by vonMises’ presentation. At worst,contrary facts and doctrines maybe juxtaposed to all of von Misesstatements. And Marx is too greatand important a thinker to drownin von Mises’ murky arguments.HOWARD P. GREENWALDLa TraviateTO THE EDITOR:I sat next to your reviewersduring the final act of La Travia-ta. Both of them were guffawing,gesticulating, and conversing dur¬ing the first half of the act. Agentleman seated in front of themthen turned around and mumbledsomething to the effect of “Youtwo infants better keep quiet so Ican hear.” Your reviewers be¬haved very properly for the re¬mainder of the act.The philosopher may interperetthe articles of Messrs.

LaSalle St.Ml 3-5986 RA 6-1060 Last Stage Muddles ThroughWhat is supposed to separate the amateurs from the pros in the theatre is a company’sbehavior in a crisis. The tyros simply fall apart; the professionals try to salvage the situation as naturally as possible.By this criterion, at least, the crew at The Last Stage has come a long way from theirformer standing as rank amateurs.Last Sunday evening, when this re¬viewer saw their production of An¬dromache, Murphy’s Law was infull operation: whatever could gowrong did. One of the leads simplydid not show up, and the director,James Miller, had to fill his shoeson short notice.playing to a house of about a dozenpeople, a fact Which would makeIn addition, the company wasmany casts decide to hang it upthen and there.BUT THE LAST Stage carried onregardless, and if what the dozenhardy souls in the audience sawwas not quite as fine a perfor¬mance as the company seemed ca¬pable of producing, it was far fromdisappointing.Like Aristotle, Racine believedthat it is our actions, and not ourcharacter, “which make us happyor the reverse.” Accordingly, Ra¬cine’s play revolves about the di¬lemmas that Pyrrhus, Orestes,Hermione, and Andromache face,and what is dramatized is thechoosing itself, not the reasons forchoice. He most clearly makes ussee the consequences of each poten¬tial action, arid is so little interest¬ed in character, that the four prin¬cipals are nearly faceless masks.ALL THIS, SO different from thedramatic technique of playwrightsin Shakespeare’s tradition, posescine’s play devolves about the di¬rector. Without leaving the grandrhetorical style which is so much apart of the play’s essence, the di¬rector must somehow manage toconvey to the audience the naturesand internal workings of the majorfigures. Miller’s solution involvedgiving each of his characters ablocking pattern peculiar to him¬self, a device which both character¬ized and differentiated each princi¬pal figure.THE BOOK THAT SAYS:END THEDRAFT!.. This book could well arousethe public and provide the forcewhich gets the Congressionalmachinery moving.”—Rep. Thomat 0. Curiit (ft Missouri)THE PUBIN THENew Shoreland Hotel55th & South Shore DriveThe Newest Meeting Place in Old Hyde ParkTHE PUB SPECIAL:THE GREATEST AN9 BIGGEST CHEESE STEAKBURGERIN TOWNMichelob and Budweiser on Tap!Piano Selections Friday & Saturday evenings Miller’s translation of the Andro¬mache was clean and swift, but notquite as effective as it might havebeen. In particular, the blank verseincluded a great many endstoppedlines, and the actors, unpracticedin the techniques of avoiding chimein poetry, declaimed far too much“de-dum de-dum de-dum de-dumde-dumpty.”The acting, as in most LastStages productions, is 9potty. ThePyrrhus, for example, made an ef¬fort to be strong and intransigent,but came off as through rigor mor¬tis had set in several acts too ear¬ly. And Gillian Shaw, an accom¬plished ingenue actress, put toomuch ingenuousness into her part.After all, Hermione is supposed tobe Helen of Troy's daughter; MissShaw played her as Helen’s daugh¬ter.A few more inches or rather bet¬ter acting might have saved MissShaw, but she was up against BettyHayes, playing Andromache. MissHayes has such tremendous pres¬ence that she easily upstaged every¬one she confronted. The bravuraquality of the performance is worthseeing in itself, and one feels only alittle sad that it completely unbal¬ ances the play. With Miss Hayes inthe role, Andromache’s share inthe action engulfs the others’, andone is prepared for quite a differ¬ent denouement that the one Ra¬cine wrote. If you live for big nioments in theatre, though, youmight be willing to trade the rest ofthe play for Miss Hayes’ firstentrance—quiet , . . slow . . . oneeighth of that expressive faceshowing . . . turning easily .striding downstage . . . and bam!taking the audience by completesurprise, riveting the attention asfew actors can.

Half theseniors, but only a handful of fresh¬men, took a pass-fail course. Manystudents “seem to be saving theiroption for the second terms,’’ Sulli¬van commented.Both Princeton and Brown havefound that courses in art and litera¬ture are especially popular to stu¬dents taking them on the pass-failbasis. A survey at Brown showedthat courses chosen covered a widerange of fields, with no single de¬partment attracting more than tenpercent of the total. English was the most popular field, math andscience the least popular amongthe 349 students who opted forpass-fail courses. There are about2450 total undergraduates.Other Patterns TestedPass-fail is not the only answerto problems that arise from pres¬sure for good grades. At six col¬leges, students chosen to partici¬pate in a special Ford Foundation-sponsored project have no require¬ments for courses, grades, or cred¬its.The colleges participating in thisexperiment are Allegheny, Colora¬do, Lake Forest, Colby, Pomona,and Florida Presbyterian. GoddardCollege in Vermont follows thesame pattern for all students.Students at Lake Forest reportthe plan is succeeding fairly wellafter a bit of difficulty at the startin adjusting to the freedom. Somestudents report, however, thatthere is some envy among the ma¬jority of the students, who are notpart of the special program.OTHER COLLEGES have triedeven more radical solutions. NewCollege in Sarasota, Fla., gradesall students in all courses w’ith thepass-fail system.One of the more noted systems isthat used by Reed College in Ore¬gon, which records conventionalgrades for all students, but doesnot reveal them to students untilafter graduation. Advisers counsela student when his grades are slip¬ping.Bennington and Sarah Lawrencecolleges try a different sort of com-promise between conventionalgrades and special systems. At reg¬ular intervals, a student receives athorough written analysis of hisprogress. To satisfy the demands ofgraduate schools and transferingstudents, however, the collegestranslate these evaluations intoconventional grades.ASMATTEROF...

Thedirector of the experiment conced¬ed that this device would not beappropriate in other sorts ofcourses, in which a body of knowl¬edge must be assimilated.INDIVIDUAL interviews are ad¬ministered to students in some col¬leges, notably St. Johns College ofAnnapolis, Md. Twice a year, St.John’s students undergo question¬ing on their individual progress byteams of faculty members. Theschool catalog calls this “diagnosisand prescription,” but students callit the “don rag”—an Anglicizedterm meaning a scolding by tutors.Several brand new colleges aretrying new grading patterns also.Hampshire College, to open in Mas¬sachusetts in 1969, will grant thegrades of pass, fail and distinction.A proposal for Surmonte College,which would stress individual pro¬gress, would use pass-fail forcourses, then assess each student’sprogress each year in a meetingwith three faculty members andtwo students of his choice.Questions RaisedWhile most educators recognizethat the usual grades present manyproblems, not all are sure that thepass-fail system is the perfectanswer.It is unlikely, for instance, that Igraduate schools would look kindly |on transcripts full of only P’s. Ja¬cob W. Getzels, UC Professor ofEducation and Psychology, com¬ments that graduate schools can“simply not spend the time neces¬sary to read folders of commentson each student.” This, he feels,w’ould be necessary to distinguishthe really top students from theonly fair students, if all receivedonly “P’s”. THE DIFFICULTY, Getzels com¬mented, is to devise some systemwhich would satisfy both the “in¬ternal demands” of students andfaculty within a college for modifi¬cation of the grading system, andthe “external demands” of gradu¬ate schools which require somesort of simple evaluation of the stu¬dent.“If one thinks of the function ofexams as evaluative,” Getzelscomments, “one must necessarilyget some sort of A-B-C-D-Fsystem—some sort of shorthand forindicating better or worse.BOB RELS0B MOTORSImport Com too9m AM NpahrMMwqr 1-450*(OS?

Elder, has also cautionedagainst exclusively pass-fail grading. “Just one course a yeardoesn’t bother me,” he has said,“but if this paralysis crept furtherit would, and students from school*we don’t know would suffer.”RENT A TRUCKS^OO* Per HourDO-IT-YOURSELFTHI CK RENTALSO 8-98008150 Stony IslandSundays $3.00 per hour(OPEN DAWN TO DAWN)llolilir House Keslaiiraut1342 E. 53rd ST.BREAKFAST - LUNCH - DINNER“The Best of All Foods"SAMUEL A.
