VOL. 76, NO. 44 The Chicago MarooCHICAGO, ILLINOIS, TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1968 FoundedIn 1892Jlrck’l'gSnhGES, 2 SECTIONSSparse Turnout forDay of Conscience'The Maroon — DAVID TRAVISCOBB LECTURE: Assistant Professor of Psychology Eugene Gendlinspeaks at a sparsely attended event.Teach-In DiscussesRacism in AmericaBy CAROLINE HECKEDITORIAL ASSISTANTFor 13 hours Friday and Satur¬day an audience that varied be¬tween 40 and 200 students dis¬cussed race at a teach-in on“Crisis in White America.”The teach-in, which was plannedby an ad hoc committee, aimed atdiscussing white racism andwhites’ contribution to racial in¬equities, but included severalspeakers who spoke on problemsand developments in the blackcommunity.Speakers at the Cloister Clubevent included University stu¬dents, local and city-wide com¬munity speakers, and professors.Among them were St. Clair Drake,professor of sociology at Roose¬velt University and co-author of“Black Metropolis”; Morris Jano-witz, Chicago professor of socio¬logy; and Clark Kissinger, formernational secretary of Students fora Democratic Society, now a whitecommunity organizer.‘A Little Too Late’“It’s a little too late to starttelling black people you want to befriends with them,” observed Car-ola Burroughs, 71. “Blacks don’tcare what white people are goingto do — they’re going to do whatthey want. They’re going to try todestroy this society. If they de¬stroy themselves with it, theydon’t care.”Steve Kindred, an SDS leaderhere, charged that “whites cannotdeny,” he said, “that they’re gladthe cop is there. Almost no whiteman has earned the right not bebe hated.“We have to say when theybring in troops, ‘those troopsaren’t our troops.’ We have to winthem — the cops, Daley, Thebusinessmen — with love.”The ‘Disintegrated’ BlackSt. Clair Drake spoke of the“disintegrated” black, one whodoes not know if he wants to beintegrated or segregated.Janowitz and Kissinger offeredcontrasting analyses of the situa¬tion, the former emphasizing theimportance of improving educa¬tion: “It’s not the political, eco¬nomic, and social direction, but thecultural and intellectual that Iwant us to deal with.”Kissinger charged that the Cityof Chicago impedes improvementsof the situation of ghetto residents. “We know the problems,” he said.“The trouble is, we do not haveour hands on the political systemnecessary to implement the im¬provement.“I don’t think you pleople in theacademic world realize how use¬less it is to go running up to Wis¬consin to work for Gene McCarthy.What students in academia ought tobe concerned with is getting out ofthat, of getting out and working inwhite communities.”Subtle AgreementTimuel Black, a teacher at HydePark High School, charged that“the University of Chicago and theSoutheast Commission have enter¬ed into a subtle agreement toTurn to Page 7 About 100 University of Chicagostudents met yesterday in theQuantrell Auditorium to discussways of assuring that there will beno more Vietnams.The sludents, who met as part ofthe national “Day of Conscience”activities on this campus, heardspeeches by Eugene Gendlin, as¬sistant professor of psychology;Marlene Dixon, assistant professor ernment opposes all reform move¬ments and because the UnitedStates pays hardly anything for thegoods it receives from Latin Amer¬ican countries.Spectre a ShieldMrs. Dixon stated that the com¬munist spectre had been used longenough as a shield for bankruptAmerican foreign policy. She ar¬gued that the momentum from thepresent anti-war effort should notof human development and social- a|lowed (0 subsidc and shouldogy; and Richard Levins, associate , rpHirPf>tpH aoainst simjiar VPn-professor of mathematical biology.At the end of the meeting, Gend¬lin announced that a similar meet¬ing would be held on the fifteenthof next month to discuss furtherways of preventing Vietnam-typeinvolvements. “We want to makethis a continuous thing and keeppeople’s interest,” he said.Earlier, Gendlin had used hisknowledge of Latin America todemonstrate how American foreignpolicy leads to Vietnam-type in¬volvements. “Things are gettingworse in Latin America and devel¬opment is not happening,” hesaid. He predicted anti-Americanrevolutions there because our gov- be redirected against similar ven¬tures.Levins extrapolated from his ex¬perience in the Puerto Rican na¬tionalist movement to argue thatradical action was not always in¬effective. An action program can get people to think, he argued, ifit is in proportion to what is beingprotested against.In addition to the “No More Vi¬etnam” meeting, students alsoheard Richard C. Lewontin, profes¬sor of zoology, on the subject oftraining draft counselors, and MarkGalanter, associate professor of so¬cial sciences, and other membersof the Soc II staff on “Politics andthe Present Crisis.”A memorial service commemo¬rating war dead in Vietnam wasconducted last night at RockefellerChapel.Throughout the day, professorsused class time to discuss the warin accord with requests of the co¬ordinators of the conference.University's Draft Ties DebatedDean of Students Charles O’Con¬nell met with a Student Govern¬ment representative last week inan effort to hammer out a compro¬mise in the University’s latest Se¬lective Service controversy.The controversy arose two weeksago when The Maroon revealedthat the University was assistinglocal draft boards in determiningwhether a student had exhaustedhis student deferment.O’Connell told Ed Birnbaum,chairman of the Student Gov¬ ernment Academic Affairs Com¬mittee, that the University mustcontinue the policy in fairness toboth students and their draftboards. The University contendsthat it cannot go “half way” in itscooperation of draft boards, andthat it must thus inform the Selec¬tive Service when a student is nolonger entitled to a deferment.Administration officials havealso advanced the argument that afailure to provide information re-Turn to Page 7 Upset Attacks Wallace,Radical Right in LectureBy JUDIE RESELLEditorial AssistantSeymour Martin Lipset, profes¬sor of government and social rela¬tions at Harvard, asserted lastnight that the radical right hasbeen a greater source of politicalactivism than the radical left.Lipset opened the Monday Lec¬ture Series speaking on “The Con¬text of the Wallace Campaign andthe Radical Right.”“The fact the newspapers havegiven more attention to left move¬ments shouldn’t make us ignorethe potent backlash of bigotry onthe right,” he urged. He cited asevidence several Gallup polls show¬ing that about 12 per cent of thecountry supports Wallace.He said further that Wallace willbe on the ballot in 49 states. “This | is no mean feat, considering theobstacles for third-party candi¬dates,” he commented.“The Wallace movement is theclosest thing to a mass-based ex¬tremist bigot movement since theorganization of the Ku Klux Klan,”Lipset said. He described the back¬lash of the sixties as a similar butless potent version of the right ex¬tremism in the Twenties.“Wallace’s strength lies in twomain appeals,” said Lipset. “He isboth anti-integration and againstthe welfare state.”Wallace also uses a “folksy” ap¬proach, Lipset said, and attacksthe university-educated metropoli¬tan elite in a manner reminiscentof Senator Joe McCarthy’s anti-intellectualism.SECOND-HALF SURGEMaroons Overwhelm Bowl ChampionsA University of Chicago team,cast as the lazy hare in Sunday’stelevision program, “CollegeBowl,” was awakened from its pro¬verbial snooze by the tortoise-like,almost imperceptable movementsof the Immaculata College team intime to pull itself together and tri¬umph 225-165.Immaculata surged to an earlylead, when it answered the firstthree questions in a row. As a bo¬nus, Immaculata got to answerseveral questions on physics, oneof them about Enrico Fermi, whichcaused some gloating on Immacu-lata’s side.The Chicago team, which is com¬posed of Larry A. Silver, ’69, Ed¬win C. Douglass, 70, Deborar A. McPherson, ’69, and John W. Mos¬cow, ’69, was able to arouse itselfto identify the Lone Ranger musicas being by Rossini.At halftime Chicago had man¬aged to rack up 75 points, to Im-maculata’s 45, perhaps the small¬est halftime score in the history ofthe program.As in customary the team showeda home movie of the campus, whichbegan with a beautiful shot of theAdministration Building.Next week the “varsity scholarsof the University of Chicago” willmeet the team from the LoyolaUniversity at Los Angles. The con¬test will be televised, live, on chan¬nel 5, Sunday at 5 p.m. The MaroonSPIRIT OF ALMA MATER: It was as if the ghost of big-time football(and its spectators) had returned to Chicago on Sunday.LAST RESORTGovernment Should Hire UnemployedIf industry cannot hire the hard¬core unemployed, then the govern¬ment should, Professor of Sociolo¬gy Philip M. Hauser, said Sundaynight on the University’s “RoundTable” TV program.Hauser said that “private indus¬try should by all means absorb asmany workers as possible. But thegovernment must be the employerof the last resort. That portion ofthe hard-core unemployed, whichprivate industry cannot absorb, isentitled to the opportunity to re¬ceive income—adequate income—with work under conditions of hu¬man dignity and work for whichtheir skills and education equipthem.”Opposing his stand on “Race and Unemployment” were William E.Zisch, Vice-Chairman and directorof Aerojet-General Corporation, andGeorge P. Shultz, professor anddean of the Graduate School ofBusiness here.“I personally believe,” Zischsaid, “that the government hasmore people on the payroll thanthey can correctly employ efficient¬ly. However, with any additional, Ibelieve about all you’re going todo with the government is to digholes and pay some more to fillthem up. And I don’t think that’sgoing to solve our problem.”Hauser replied, “We don’t havean expressway in this country thatwasn’t outmoded before the con¬ crete was dry, . .or an airport. Wedo not have adequate recreationalspace. We do not have adequatehealth facilities. We do not have ad¬equate educational facilities. . .Wecould have mail delivered, as weonce did, twice a day.”When Hauser asked Zisch if pri¬vate industry could absorb thehardcore unemployed without thegovernment intervening, Zisch re¬plied:“The experience I’ve had in deal¬ing with over 150 companies thatcame forward with meaningful pro¬positions, none of them. . .were in¬terested in coming forward with aphilanthropic effort. They — man— recognized that the profit mo¬tive must be present.” "LARGE PHOTOGRAPHICPOSTERS"From Snapshotsof your danco, graduation, athlotic team, school band, oft.

David E. GumpertDaniel HertzbergEditor Emeritus David A. SetterDraft TiesIs the University of Chicago “neutral” in its deal¬ings with the Selective Service System? At the timeof the anti-rank sit-ins, the administration proclaimedfrom the house tops that it was indeed — that it leftto the student the decision of whether to cooperate withGeneral Hershey’s juggernaut. Yet now we discoverthat according to a little known aspect of Universitypolicy, the Registrar’s Office actually goes out of itsway to notify draft boards of an ex-student’s eligibility.It is impossible to classify such action as “neutral,”or to take seriously Dean O’Connell’s argument thatthe University only notifies draft boards at the stu¬dent’s request. It is at his request in only the narrowestsense of the word, since in fact the student is forcedto make this “request” in order to get the Universityto file the statement necessary for a student defermentin the first place.Moreover, the University is under no legal obliga¬tion to file additional information about a student’seligibility. Chicago’s decision on this matter was made— apparently with a minimum of consideration — afterreceiving a mere request from the state Selective Serv¬ice Director. It is probably true, as O’Connell asserts,that failure to file the information might jeapordizestudent deferments for those who refused to comply,and it is undoubtedly true that the University shouldnot file information that is deliberately falsified.But these facts in no way excuse the present po¬licy of filing information which the University is in noway required to provide — either out of considerationsof law or honesty. If the University were to adopt atruly neutral policy, it would communicate with draftboards entirely at the individual student’s request.A student who wished the University to notify his draftboard of his non-student status after graduation be¬cause he believed that this would protect his defermentwhile in school should be allowed to keep this option.But students who would rather not have the Universityinform their draft boards of their graduation shouldhave this option as well — with of course the clearunderstanding that the University would tell draftboards of this decision at the time the original requestfor a deferment was made.The most sensible way to create this second optionwould be to provide two separate cards at the time ofregistration from which the student could choose. Ac¬cording to his own feelings about the draft, the indi¬vidual student could fill out the present card or a newcard which would certify his status as a student butclearly indicate that no future information would besent except at the student’s specific request. A thirdoption of having no dealings with the Selective ServiceSystem at all would of course also remain open.At a time when individual administrators areurging students to resist the draft, it is particularlyshocking to see the University continue its discreditedpolicy of blatant cooperation. Apparently it is one thingto urge others to stand up and be counted and anotherthing to take a forthright stand (even for mere neutral¬ity) oneself. It will remain impossible to take piousUniversity exhortations seriously until it starts takingsome forthright action itself. Discipline at Chicago:Room for Some StudentsChicago’s disciplinary proce¬dures are among the most con¬servative in the nation. While onother campuses such as Penn,Northwestern, and Brandeis non-academic disciplinary problemsare handled by students, Chica¬go’s disciplinary problems aretotally controlled by the admin¬istration.The University recently ap¬pointed a faculty committee toinvestigate reforms in the dis¬ciplinary procedures; however,the. committee (known as theKalven Committee) rejected aStudent Government proposal toallow an equal number of stu¬dents to participate. As the Kal¬ven Committee stated in a letterdated April 4, “Once again, thedecision of the Committee wasthat they would prefer not to addstudents-members at this time.”AND, AS acting Dean of Un¬dergraduate Students Meyer Is-enberg had stated in a letter tothe Kalven Committee datedApril 1, “I do not believe thatthe number of students on yourcommittee should be equal to thenumber of faculty members, as(Jeffrey) Blum suggests.” Al¬though Isenberg lauded the pres¬ence of students observers in the Disciplinary Committee, he re¬jected the idea of student-mem¬bers on the Kalven Committeein other than an advisory capa¬city.The Kalven Committee deci¬sion to postpone any action con¬cerning student participation ishypocritical to its purpose — os¬tensibly to investigate reform inthe Disciplinary Committee. Forby rejecting any action to placestudents on the Kalven Commit¬tee it is in effect approving ofthis aspect of the DisciplinaryCommittee as it now stands. Ifany reform in this area is to bemade, the addition of studentson the Kalven Committee wouldcertainly reflect the progressive¬ness of the University.THE FUNDAMENTAL ques¬tion underlying the Kalven Com¬mittee is whether students are tohave any power to participate ina meaningful way in bridging thegap between the administrationand the student community. Stu¬dents will be directly affected bythe decisions of the Kalven Com¬mittee findings and, therefore^should participate extensively inits investigations of the Univer¬sity’s disciplinary procedures.Granted, the appointment of the Kalven Committee shows theUniversity’s concern over muchneeded revision of disciplinaryprocedures. But faculty membersare unaware of students prob¬lems on campus and a studentperspective is neecied if the Kal¬ven Committee is to be success¬ful.STUDENTS concerned over ad¬ministration control of the Dis¬ciplinary Committee have al¬ready made plans to gain somepower in disciplinary procedures.Suggestions have ranged from atest case in court to publicity inone of Chicago’s leading news¬papers. The Kalven decision willforce students to increase theirefforts to push student power inthe University.For these reasons the KalvenCommittee ought to reconsiderany postponement of adding stu¬dents to itself. Quite simply, stu¬dents are concerned about issuesaffecting them directly and to ig¬nore responsible contact on anequal faculty-student basis isdetrimental to the Kalven Com¬mittee and ultimately to thestudents.Miss Szewczyk, ’71, is an edi¬torial assistant on The Maroon.Letters to the EditorsOn RacismThe murder of Martin LutherKing was an act of overt whiteracism. But the perpetuation ofthe atrocious conditions of blackpeople in this country is the re¬sult of another more subtle rac¬ism-white indifference.White America created racehatred-now all white Americansmust deal with it. We at theUniversity of Chicago are facedwith a problem of racism bothwithin the University and in itsrelation to the surrounding com¬munity.The teach-in “Crisis in WhiteAmerica” was an attempt toconfront our individual responsi¬bilities and the necessity for ac¬tion in response to the anger andfrustration of black people. Thepoor turn-out at the teach-inseemed to indicate one of twothings: either total unconcernand lack of a sense of personalresponsibility, or lack of realiz¬ation of the real possibilities foraction and change.Out of the workshops that tookplace at the teach-in came ideasand proposals for change. Theseproposals will soon be presented.If they are met with indifferencefrom the University community— the administration, the fac¬ulty, and the students — then theaccusation of white racism fallsjustly on us all.LISA FRUCHTMAN, 70DEBBIE BRACKMAN, 71• • •Now is the time to mobilizeagainst racism. Concerned Chi¬cago students should immediate¬ly help the riot victims, butshould refrain from helping therioters who burned them out oftheir homes. The arsonists whokilled a young child at 63rd St.and Ingleside Ave. deserves nocontributions. The black mobwhich lynched a college teacher in Cincinnati deserves no sup¬port.If it is wrong to steal and mur¬der, it is wrong for blacks aswell as whites. The riot must notbe equated with the movementfor Negro rights. Like most Chi¬cago students, I understand thatthere are social causes of bothNegro and white racism. I stillrefuse to condone either one.Never has it been more urgentto speak up against both blackand white racists—people whopreach racial segregation andsuperiority.Please do not contribute mon¬ey to bail out Negro oppressors.Please do contribute to the Neg-groes who they have o p-pressed.MARCUS K. FELSON, ’69'Strike Break'The argument of Miss SusanPhillips and “15 other singers”who chose to break the strikecalled by mental health employ¬ees at Chicago State Hospital(The Maroon, April 9) presentsa fascinating contradiction.The writers declare that “con¬ditions in this institution, whichwe have seen first hand, are adisgrace to the people of Illinois.”Nevertheless, this knowledge didnot prevent Miss Phillips and herfriends from taking the very ac¬tion which best enables the Stateof Illinois to maintain presentconditions, i.e., taking the placeof striking workers and thus re-leiving the practical and moralpressures which the strinking em¬ployees were attempting to bringto bear against the state.Surely Miss Phillips does notbelieve that the State of Illinoiswould be either cruel enough orfoolish enough to allow itself tobe placed in a public position ofresponsibility for increased suf¬fering on the part of patientswhose welfare has been commit¬ted to it; in the absence of in¬ tervention by people like MissPhillips on so-called “humanitari¬an” grounds, the state would soonhave been forced to capitulate tothe mental health employees’ un¬ion’s demands for improved con¬ditions for both patients andworkers.INSTEAD, Miss Phillips and 15other well-meaning but misguidedcompanions chose to support thestate’s current practices by doingtheir part to render ineffectivethe pressures being exertedagainst the status quo. How canMiss Phillips and her friends ex¬pect either patients or employeesto believe that “we are on theirside” when they allow themselvesto be duped by the state’s cry of“emergency” and ignore the realneeds of both groups at ChicagoState Hospital?The action taken by these 16students has clearly been in op¬position to the welfare not onlyof the employees but to the wel¬fare of the patients for whomthey profess such concern. Short¬sighted pleas of “humanitarian-ism” are of not avail in such acase; strike-breaking by any oth¬er name remains precisely that.PHYLLIS M.

BadertscherEveryone, it seems, has his specula¬tion about the fire this time.My sentimental favorite is the 1947prophecy by Paul and Percival Good¬man in Communitas that, opting for the“efficient consumption” model of me¬tropolis, calls for an occasional carnivalto clear the surplus stock from theshelves and the submerged impulsesfrom the psyche. In 1968, however, onething is undeniable: the urban riots arean expression of the hostility and frus¬tration of blacks who have been unableto participate meaningfully in a societyand a nation which, while excludingthem, nevertheless presses upon themits values and obligations.Written by and for '‘the Establish¬ment,” the report of the Kerner com¬mission complements the other volumesby being “official,” that is, thorough,soundly researched and legitimated bythe stature of its authors and the sourceof its commission. Drawn specificallyfrom Los Angeles, Paul Jacobs’ “viewof urban America from the bottom” ex¬plains the black world to the white bycutting the subject into issues involvingthe various forms of governmental inter¬vention in the black world. In a journal¬istic tour de force, Robert Conot bringsus to an even more concrete level, theworld of some individuals whose liveswere touched by the Watts riot.Jacobs’ radical stance, questioning thebasic adequacy of governmental struc¬tures, is in contrast to the way in whichthat adequacy is assumed in the otherbooks.Unquestionably, the Kerner report isthe most significant of these volumes,at least as much for who speaks as for what is said. The appointment of a“blue ribbon committee,” a time-hon¬ored tactic of delay and evasion by em¬battled executives and politicians, gaveno reason to suspect that this committeewould perform a public service anygreater than the McCone commission,rightly condemned by Jacobs, did forLos Angeles following the Watts riot.Jacobs, writing prior to the initialpublication of the Kerner group’s workbut after its formation, remarked on itssimilarity to the McCone commissionand said of the former, “It’s not hard topredict what its report will be.” Fortun¬ately, this seems to be a year of mis¬taken predictions and here, as else¬where, a decision not to seek re-electionapparently freed a public figure (in thiscase, Governor Kerner) to move in anunpredictably creative direction.Turning its back on the meliorativeanalysis and gradualist prescriptionscharacterizing previous efforts of simi¬lar groups in this country, the Kernerreport declares America to be dividingrapidly along lines of race and class.Although the situation is becomingworse, a choice between unity andpolarization is still possible because, ac¬cording to the report, the thrust of Ne¬gro aspiration is assimilative ratherthan transformative. But the forces nowaccelerating will soon, in the absence ofconscious choice for unity, push the al¬ternative upon us.The report makes it unavoidably clearthat the principal cause of the riots andthe national disunity they express is in¬transigent white racism. The minoritypoor, far from having equality of op¬portunity, bear a disproportionate “tax”by virtue of their powerlessness in rela¬tion to government services, employ¬ment, housing, etc. The premises of thecommission reject riots because.. .this nation cannot abide violenceand disorder if it is to ensure thesaefty of its people and their prog¬ress in a free society.But they also use the riots as a callto national responsibility for,.. .this nation will deserve neither safety nor progress unless it can de¬monstrate the wisdom and the willto undertake decisive action againstthe root causes of racial disorder.Such candor and objective clarity, trulyrare in an “official” publication, arecommendable wherever found.Prefacing the Kerner report is a val¬uable and authoritative 30-page sum¬mary with which the busy but concernedreader can quiet his conscience, if hereads it in conjunction with the detailedsections which may be of special inter¬est. For example, chapter 15 is a fineresource for the subject of mass mediaas well as for understanding aspects ofthe riots. There are sections writtenwith a high level of sophistication ondemography, political and social struc¬ture, economics and criminology. Thediscussions of police practice, the metro¬politan judicial system and educational,welfare and housing policies should playan important role in the deliberations ofpolicy makers. The skill and eruditionof the four historical chapters, eachmoving to a greater level of generalityand chronological scope, prepare thereader for the names of such dis¬tinguished historians as Robert Fogel-son, John Hope Franklin, Richard Wadeand C. Vann Woodward in the list ofconsultants.Three options are offered to policymakers by the Kerner committee: pres¬ent policies, “enrichment,” and “inte¬gration.” The first of these implies ac¬ceptance of the increasing movementtoward polarization; the second at¬tempts to pursue a genuinely “separatebut equal” policy; and the third plots acourse toward as much assimilation asthe Negro can be persuaded to accept.It is clear that, for the committee,only the third option is viable. The firsfris rejected as too costly and, much moreimportant, failing to preserve the fed¬eral union, which is the ultimate goalstated by the committee. The argumentby which the enrichment choice is fi¬nally rejected is that white control of theeconomy would cause any conceivable governmental program of redistributiveaction to fall short of narrowing the rel¬ative gap between the races. Integra¬tion is chosen as the best option, but itis recognized that enrichment of theghetto must be a step toward this goal.There is, however, no program of actionfor eradicating the racism recognized asthe chief cause of the problem.This brings us to the principal weak¬ness of the report, a weakness sharedmutatis mutandis by the other volumes.We recognize that there are limitationsinherent in any study of civil disorderwhich receives its mandate from thehead of state and directs its recommen¬dations primarily to the government.As such, the report is a magnificent doc¬ument and a credit to American democ¬racy. But the nation is faced with aproblem rooted in the irreversibility ofhistory. Centuries and generations ofracism lie behind us and the conse¬quences cannot be legislated away.All the recommendations of thesebooks fail to tell us how the will of thepeople is going to be changed, how pru¬dent legislators are going to enact pro¬grams contrary to the conceived self-interest of their constituents, how actionby a white man’s government towardthe black community can ever be morethan paternalism; in short, they fail totell us how black persons can achievefreedom and equality in a white world.This failure is reflected in the inabilityof these writers to appreciate the pos¬sibilities existing in the concept of BlackPower. The Kerner report adopts RoyWilkins’ rhetoric and writes off BlackPower as latter-day Booker T. Washing¬ton philosophy, saying that Black Poweradvocates ‘unconsciously function as anaccommodation to white racism”.To be sure, these writers are not in¬sensitive to the need for power as a pre¬requisite to participation.

He says that his is the onlystudy to date to use such methods for“systematic inquiry into the causes ofthe differential response of the workersto a social revolution-while that revolu¬tion itself was still ‘young.’ ”The study, according to Zeitlin, “isbased on the generic- sociological as¬sumption that the individual’s positionin the social structure” largely deter¬mines the kind and degree of social pres¬sures the individual will experience andthe “view of the world”he has. Becausehis work is at the center of the worker’slife, “the social pressures to which heis exposed at work play a major role indetermining his political views.”From this, Zeitlin derives his majorworking hypothesis: although interclassconflict tends to vitiate intraclass dif¬ferences, the latter are “politically sig¬nificant, and by exploring the structureof the working class it will be possibleto locate fundamental sources of its pol¬itical behavior.”The principal task of our study,then, has been to identify such“fractions” or “categories” of theworking class in Cuba and to observewhether or not and in what mannerthey have led to their members’differential political behavior.Some of the differentiating factors ex¬amined are pre-revolution unemploy¬ment, skill level, race, the politicalevents occuring as the worker enteredthe labor force, and whether the workerfelt alienated from his work. Relativepoverty was found not to affect intraclassdifferences in attitudes. Zeitlin’s discus¬sion of the various ‘categories’ is, forthe most part, both interesting and con¬vincing and sometimes fascinating.On occasion, however, his analysis ap¬pears somewhat inadequate, and suffersfrom the small size of the sample, prob¬ably the book’s greatest deficiency. Attimes Zeitlin found himself working witha sample as small as ten. Despite his ef¬fort to show the reasonableness of hisFlaubert, by Benjamin F. Bart.

Atheneum. $8.50.by Linda BeachWhile both these recent critical biog¬raphies deal with the great French nov¬elist Gustave Flaubert, their authorshave different goals and markedly dif¬ferent degrees of success.Benjamin Bart, professor at the Uni¬versity of Pittsburgh, discusses whyFlaubert sought to develop the novel asart, how he attempted to reach this goal,and whether he was successful. Bart at¬tacks his problem in much the same wayas Flaubert would have, conducting ex¬tensive research and using detail afterdetail to make the portrayal as realisticas possible.Bart seems to know everything thereis to know about Flaubert, and has as¬similated his knowledge into a solid, andFlaubertian concept of Flaubert.Miss Starkie’s book, Flaubert, the Mak¬ing of the Master, is a well-documentedbiography intended to show Flaubert’sdevelopment into a great artist, who conclusions by using other kinds of evi¬dence, some of his analysis must beviewed mainly as speculation. In addi¬tion, Zeitlin learned only when it was toolate that he needed to ask some otherquestions, and was sometimes forced tomake indirect use of his data.A striking solidarity with the new re¬gime (71 per cent of the workers favoredit) and a relatively strong pre-revolutionpro-Communism (29 per cent of theworkers) are revealed by the study. Eachsub-group of the working class that Zeit¬lin included in his categories had a ma¬jority that were pro-revolutionary.Zeitlin anticipates the possible objectionthat valid results cannot be derived bysurvey techniques in a “police state.”He maintains convincingly that it is “atbest a very serious exaggeration” toterm Cuba a police state at the time ofthe interviews. Many bookstores in Cubawere still selling polemically anti-Com-munist books, while the central publiclibrary (Biblioteca Nacional) receivedwith some regularity Time, Life, U. S.News, Look, and the New Leader. Thecard catalogue of the same library list¬ed under ‘Communism’ many polemic¬ally anti-Communist books. Both he andhis wife could travel and talk to peoplewithout interference and people seemedto inquire and talk freely. Also, theywere provided by then Minister of Indus¬tries, Ernesto Guevara, with permissionto visit any plant they wanted, and totake from work any worker for as longas necessary. It appeared to them thatthe factory administrators had not beentold to expect their visits.Revolutionary Politics benefits from itsvery good (though of course brief andsketchy) background discussion, partic¬ularly on the size and nature of the work¬ing class and the strength of Cuba’s rev-reached artistic maturity in his firstmajor work, Madame Bovary. Althoughthe basic ingredients are present, the de¬sired product just doesn’t emerge, andthe reader is left wondering what hehas actually discovered.While Miss Starkie has obviously donea great deal of research, and gives allthe facts—data on Flaubert’s education,family, friends, travel, and so on—thefacts do not portray a living Flaubert.The book achieves only the antisepticsuccess of a scientific study.Although Miss Starkie shows Flaubert’sphysical development and the events ofhis life which influenced his works, shefails to deal with whatever characteris¬tic it is that makes an artist. The artist,as artist, is not revealed.Bart, on the other hand, probes deeplyinto Flaubert’s mind and heart, seekingto discover why Flaubert believed thatthe novel must become art.The biographical data he relates aredesigned to make clear which influencesin Flaubert’s life were most important—his momer, his travels to the Near East,his relationships with various women, hisepileptic condition and other illnesses.Continued on page five olutionary tradition. According to Zeit¬lin, the working class before the revolu¬tion was the largest and possibly themost cohesive class. This is explained bythe fact that Cuba’s rural labor forcewas, to a great extent, an agriculturalproletariat working on the sugar cen¬trals. (One crucial implication of thishas been the speed with which agricul¬ture has been largely collectivized with¬out antagonizing a large landholding orland-aspiring peasantry.)Together with the size of the workingclass Cuba’s strong revolutionary tradi¬tion seems to be an important factor inthe strength of the regime’s support. Oneof the most interesting concepts thatZeitlin explores, is that of “political gen¬erations.” His approach is basedon Karl Mannheim’s general form¬ulation. . .that common experiencesduring their youth might create acommon world view or frame of ref¬erence through which individuals ofthe same age group would tend toview their subsequent politicalexperiences.Zeitlin finds, in fact, that workers re¬sponded differently to Communists andthe revolution depending upon the periodof political history during which they en¬tered the labor force.He also points out that Cubans oftenview their history in generational terms(e.g., “the generation of ’68”), and notesthat “the movement led by Fidel Castro.. .placed special emphasis on its beinga new generation, shorn of the cynicismand betrayal of revolutionary ideals typ¬ical of their elders.” The youth and reno¬vation theme is one of the distinct feat¬ures of the revolution’s rhetoric beforeand after victory.In his discussion of “revolutionaryworkers and civil liberties” Zeitlin dir¬ectly challenges the assumptions aboutworking class authoritarianism made bysome sociologists. He particularly ad¬dresses himself to Seymour Martin Lip-set who argues that working class lifeand culture produce an authoritarianismwhich explains working class attractionto extremist and intolerant movementsEditor-in-chief David L.

Sup¬port for communist leaders arises notfrom the belief that Communists fight intheir interests or any political perspec¬tive, but rather from the authoritarianstyle of Communists, according to Lip-set. The intended implication seems tobe that democracy depends upon exclud¬ing most of the population from politicallife. Since this tendency, Lipset argues,is re-inforced by “authoritarian familypatterns,” additional education and achange in living conditions won’t preventworking class authoritarianism.In contradiction to Lipset’s theories,Zeitlin found that 73 per cent of the pro¬revolution workers thought no actionshould be taken by the governmentagainst people who criticize the revolu¬tion. He found also that “the proportionof ‘libertarians’ is essentially the sameamong the workers who were pro-Com¬munist as among those who were anti-Communist before the revolution.”Finally, he found that workers whosefathers were workers were no more au¬thoritarian than workers whose fatherswere white collar employees or mem¬bers of the petit bourgeoisie, undermin¬ing Lipset’s thesis about family patterns.Revolutionary Politics is a welcome re¬lief from two kinds of writing prevalentin the literature about countries thathave had a socialist revolution: the ma¬licious and distorted anti-Communist ac¬counts, and the equally distorted roman¬tic left-wing apologies.Zeitlin’s book is extremely valuable assource material, even though it suffers(sometimes quite severely) from thesmall size of the sample and Zeitlin’s in¬ability to know in advance all the ques¬tions he should have asked. In all casesZeitlin details the statistics and reasoning on the basis of which he draws hisconclusions, leaving the reader able toevaluate them and the relative adequacyof the statistics.Although it may not be entirely fairto criticize the deliberately defined scopeof a book, it would have been helpfulhad Zeitlin discussed in more than afairly impressionistic manner the overallsentiments of workers towards the rev¬olution, a different task from evaluatingfactors responsible for intraclass differ¬entiation. In addition, there is no discus¬sion at all of the response of other clas¬ses towards the revolution.Considering, however, that the book be¬gan as a doctoral dissertation under theguidance of Seymour Martin Lipset, itsuffers only very slightly from the com¬mon sociological ailment of refining top¬ics down to nothingness.Mr. Rothkrug is a second-year studentmajoring in chemistry at the Univers¬ity of Chicago.Chief editorial offices: 1212 E. 59thStreet, Chicago, Illinois 60637.

Photo byMr. Caffrey. Up Front in Vietnam, by David Reed.Funk & Wagnalls. $3.95.One Very Hot Day, by David Halber-stam. Houghton Mifflin Co. $4.95.by Bill CaffreyAfter sustaining a barrage of newbooks concerned with the cause and ef¬fects of the war in Vietnam, the pub¬lishers are launching an assault whichwas only inevitable, the “Daddy, tell mea war story” books.Five years from now, any of us willbe able to go into any bar and gathermaterial for our own Up Front in Viet¬nam. David Reed has collected a looselyrelated “bunch” of true war storieswhich are full of the action, the irony,the sorrow and the gore that made WWIand WWII so beautiful. Though the inci¬dents may be true, condensing andculling the total war for the action un¬fairly deceives the reader. Forever for¬gotten, except by a handful, will be theboredom, the frustration, the disbeliefand the discomfort “up front” if allwriters of Vietnam war stories edit sim¬ilarly.Fortunately, David Halberstam hasdone his part for history and the realis¬tic war story. He has indeed portrayedthe boredom, frustration, disbelief anddiscomfort. He has written a “not par¬ticularly good” novel which is valuableas a fictionalization of a history that, inview of recent events, is all but forgottenalready. Though the book can no longerbe taken as a description of the presentwar, One Very Hot Day is a valuable aidin understanding the war that “is nowbeing fought” in, say, Thailand.If we overlook the sometimes obviousheavy handedness of an author whonames his principal character Beaupre(could that possibly be French?), whopersonifies the difficulties of the war inthe name “Saigon,” something useful canbe gained. Particularly important arethe descriptions of attempts to achieverapport between the allied officers. Un¬fortunately, the failure of most of theattempts is too true. Halberstam effec¬tively indicates the disappointment of theVietnamese to find out that the Ameri¬cans are not great gods and that theyfall just like everyone else under the on¬slaught of the .50 caliber machine gun,or even a sniper’s rifle.Beaupre’s thoughts about his tour,which is almost over, convey the bore¬dom of the war. The apparent hatred hefeels for the people of Vietnam containsan explanation of their readiness to aideither side in the war. The developing action of the story ex¬plains that the ARVN (Army of the Re¬public of Vietnam) soldiers are tired ofa war which has been going on too longand to which no end is in sight; that thepeople in the villages are politically un¬aware and uninterested in national pol¬itics; that they are worried about day today survival. This is not a heroic norpopular war, and there is little, if any,missionary zeal displayed on either side.The heat is oppressive, and tiring, anddehydrating.The presentation, by Halberstam, ofsimple facts together with the symbolicstruggle with the heat engaged in byBeaupre tell most effectively the storyof the war that was in Vietnam.Halberstarn’s book can be taken as anaccurate observation of the mechanicsof US involvement in “pacification”operations. The successes and failuresnoted are those which also occur whenwhole fighting units of US troops are in¬volved in the operations. The militaryrole in pacification has been and willcontinue to be unsuccessful, for the verypresence of fighting units endangers thesafety of the people in several ways. Re¬lations between military and civilians arenot always what we would hope them tobe. Many of the accidents which happentoo easily when firearms and munitionsare carried freely often involve civil¬ians. Drivers of military vehicles havebeen known to keep an accurate recordof “accidents” by notching their steeringwheels. Women and children have beenblown to bits by accidentally detonatedclaymore mines. Ofter, detainees arebeaten by Vietnamese interrogators andreleased, as is, guilty or innocent.The people can expect, and do suffer,the same treatment at the hands of theVietcong. So which side is their butteron? At this point, the question is absurd.They’re caught between “a rock anda hard place.”In death lies respite, for the futureholds only continued military occupationand all that goes along with it. Death isan easily accepted fact. A mother candispassionately claim the body of hertwelve year old Vietcong son. A husbandcan dispassionately claim the mutilatedbody of his wife. Life and death go on.Mr. Caffrey, who graduated from theCollege of the University of Chicagoin 1965, recently returned from Viet¬nam where he was assigned to aninfantry unit supporting a pacificationoperation in the Mekong Delta.From mouths of comedians come sermonsThe Shadow that Scares Me, by DickGregory. Doubleday. $4.50.by Dick MuelverDick Gregory is America’s foremost ra¬cial apologist. He is not merely a blackapologist, for the light he sheds on Amer¬ica’s growing race crisis falls from acandle burning at both ends — he ex¬plains white society to the black manwith the same force and cogency foundin his explanations of the “whys” and“wherefores” of black America.Hie Shadow that Scares Me is a collec¬tion of such double-ended apologies, or“impious sermons” as they are called byRev. James R. McGraw in his introduc¬tion to the book, which he edited.The shortcomings of the book may beattributed directly to the ephemeral na¬ture of sermons. Gregory’s illustrationsand arguments come across quite wellorally, but they are not nearly so suc¬cessful when frozen in print.Contradictions, for instance, are muchmore evident when they are read thanwhen they are heard. To answer the charge that ghetto riots are senseless be¬cause the rioters succeed only in destroy¬ing their own property Gregory pointsout that “the destruction of one’s ownproperty is nothing new to American rev¬olutions. When the Sons of Libertydumped the tea in the water, they weredestroying their own property.”Later on, however, Gregory assertsthat to protest a system of oppressionand injustice, the Boston patriots “notonly refused to pay taxes to the MotherCountry but they took her tea anddumped it in the water.” Whose proper¬ty now?Unsubstantiated charges are also moreeffective in a “sermon” than they are ina book. Greogry claims that the “temperfor the riot in Watts was set by the rapeof a Negro woman by a white cop.” Forproof that this was not an isolated inci¬dent, the reader is told, “Earlier in theyear another Los Angeles cop raped an¬other Negro girl under almost identicalcircumstances.” Gregory says the facts of these two in¬cidents are well known in the Black com¬munity, but . we will never see them inthe White press. The documentation —“It can be verified.” If that’s the case,there should be a couple of L.A. copssitting in Caryl Chessman’s old celltoday.An inveterate faultfinder could comeup with a handsome list of such short¬comings — circularities, deja vu repeti¬tiveness, strained analogies, forced par¬ables, gems falling from the mouths ofbabes who are apparently cursed withextensive backgrounds in psychology,philosophy, and religion — the list con¬tinues ad embarrassatum.Yet, the book still has merit, if thereader remembers that sermons are tobe spoken, not read and analyzed. Greg¬ory’s talent for insightful observationsand illustrations cannot be denied. Heprovides some potent ammunition for thewhite liberal with his back to the wall ata cocktail party. The analyses he gives of the fraud ofcivil rights laws is pressure-distilled,charcoal filtered, demonstration rallyGregory. He compares exemption-rid¬dled open housing laws with an imag¬inary law prohibiting Whitey from cut¬ting off both of a black man’s ears. Ifthe enacted law says it is only legal tocut off one ear, “all of a sudden ear cut¬ting is legal. Ear cutting did not comeunder the law at all before, now the cut¬ting of one ear is legalized. I have toresent that.” To say the least...If read quickly, without deep analysis,The Shadow that Scares Me has muchthe same effect on the reader that sweet-and-sour chitterlings would have on thegourmet — it’s difficult to say whetheryou like it or not, but you have to allowthat it is most certainly an interestingexperience.Mr. Muelver is a junior mhjoring injournalism at the University of Wis-consin-Milwaukee, and is a columnistfor the UWM PostMay, 1968 CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW 3< \ • i f » \ ! v 4Liberal failure-Lyndon’s ‘Great Society 9• • •The Great Society Reader: The Fail¬ure of American Liberalism, editedby Marvin E. Gettleman and DavidMermelstein. Random House.by Jeff McIntyreOne of the worst or most questionedpolitical postures that one can assumein present day America is that of theliberal. There has developed a real lackof faith in the liberals’ ability to dealmeaningfully and constructively withpresent day American political and so¬cial problems.Even though this inability to defineissues and suggest solutions is receivinga great deal of attention of late as thegood ship Great Society flounders onthe shoals of urban revolution and thewar in Vietnam, we must rememberthat liberalism has been steadily gettingsicker along with the society since WorldWar II. At that time the liberals werehard pressed to explain what was hap¬pening in China. Later on in the early the first set. Or one can read CarlOglesby’s “A Program for Liberals”(Ramparts, February, 1968) whichmakes a very valid point that the riseof a reactionary right element is not dueto the rise of a militant or revolutionaryleft but of the failure of liberals to ac¬cept their “historical mission” and stopgiving “tactical advice to radicals andstart doing honest liberal work.” Thatmeans that liberals would have to be¬gin to “bridge all the old contradictionsand close the wounds of America.” Atthis point in America’s history, it isquestionable whether or not they can ac¬complish this task. Their ship, the GreatSociety, weighed anchor back in 1964and one must wonder, as it now runsafoul, about the possibility that the lib¬erals have just plain missed the boat.In moving beyond Oglesby’s general¬izations about where the liberals are at,one finds that The Great Society Readeraffirms and documents Oglesby’s worst cies, from its “macro-economics” to its“inner philosophy.” Within each section,statements of policy makers are followedby several articles of analysis.Most of the critiques are by those whodefine themselves as either old radical-liberals or radicals. Some are just re¬ports such as the Civil Rights Commis¬sion hearings which stand by themselvesto be interpreted by the reader. For thegreater part, all the readings are inter¬pretations which are stacked against theJohnson Administration.Possibly the best single area of thebook is the discussion of the Great So¬ciety’s macro-economics and its relationsto business and labor. With a very clearmethodology, the well-documented arti¬cles show that our economic boom hasdone little for the poor, for which it wasintended to do so much. David T. Bazel-on’s thesis that the Democratic Partymay become the party of Big Businessis exhaustively developed. He admits the nothing to clarify the already muddlednational scene in defining Black Power.The articles on “Poverty and Welfare”seem to be lacking in real analysis.There is more than enough policymaterial presented (four documents) andonly two critiques of where the policy¬makers failed.Two other sections of the book, “TheBlack Man” and “The Inner Philoso¬phy,” show much more clearly why theGreat Society failed to cure America’ssocial ills, as the poverty and welfareprograms so gallantly set out to do.In these sections are two of the mostimportant articles in the book, the well-documented SNCC report on the failureof the government to implement the edu¬cational provisions of the 1964 CivilRights Act, and Tom Hayden’s excellentinterpretation of modern American “Wel¬fare Liberalism and Social Change.”These make up for the lacks in the chap¬ter on “Poverty and Welfare.”»erim us r<WP'IUiis weseW, B\6m?iUJT V60ith emKiervi em £f'Hem6IVIU0P.SOH6 0HIS,W5- miaumTHATm)imp6mr -SOCIETYflSeAMS916 'PACWj THIS ACtiPfOT 0'6R6AT£XI€TV'S B6 PAPCV-m iTAu?#PY HhPpeaet?- MoauemrM)TV6Mt)UP 100FASTana’50s they could neither challenge nor stopSenator Joe McCarthy. Moving into re¬cent times one should realize that ittook ten years from the school desegre¬gation decision to the March on Wash¬ington for the liberals (in government,at least) to react in any meaningfulway to the Civil Rights Movement.Even that reaction embodied in the 1964Civil Rights Act is dubious at best. Theenforcement of the Civil Rights Act isdubious at best. The enforcement of theCivil Rights Act by the federal and lo¬cal agencies as documented in TheGreat Society Reader and numerousjournals and reports is nothing but afarce.In present-day society one can hearWilliam Sloane Coffin talk about beingcaught in the “liberal’s trap,” that is,having one set of principles about whatshould be done and another set whichdoes not allow the person to implement suspicions, that the liberals have failedto do their thing. The book’s thesis isquite simple and forthright: The JohnsonAdministration is one more in a seriesof national governments that, by theirdevelopment of large “welfare” pro¬grams, have defined themselves as lib¬eral in their attempt to right the wrongsof American society. Secondly, the plan¬ning and strategy of these programshave entailed the use of many profes¬sional university liberals. In the end,however, Johnson and the Great Societyand company, have failed in the taskof righting America’s wrongs. They havefailed in their liberal endeavors to dealmeaningfully with wounds in the fabricof American society.To develop their thesis, editors Gettle¬man and Mermelstein, two socialistscholars at the Polytechnic Institute ofBrooklyn, present sections on seven as¬pects of Johnson administration’s poli- new coalition may not yet be stabilized,but that it could cause some difficultiesin future political struggles.In the section on “The Black Man inthe Great Society” the editors run intotwo problems. First, in using an articleby Bayard Rustin, “From Protest toCoalition Politics,” they seem moreprone to setting Rustin up as a “fall-guy” than presenting his view. The ed¬itor’s notes point out that Ronald Rad-osh’s article, “From Protest to BlackPower: The Failure of Coalition Poli¬tics,” which is a rebuttal of Rustin, waswritten especially for inclusion in theReader. Secondly, in the more specificarea of defining Black Power they seekto deny in their introduction that it is“racism in reverse” or “separatism.”But on the other hand the editors arewilling to label it “Black Nationalism.”Their hair-splitting definitions becomemuddled in this section, and they do While the editors of The Great SocietyReader may have failed to be convincingin certain areas, when taken as wholethis book is nevertheless one of the sin¬gle most complete and comprehensivestudies and interpretations of modemAmerican society. The use of Feiffer’scartoons throughout adds to an excellentcritique. A secondary point is that thisvolume could serve as a primary bibli¬ography. The extensive notes laced with“see also” open vast resources for thelayman to do reading in present-dayAmerican political and social thought.The book gets at the heart of thiscountry’s unresolved questions and il¬luminates them in a total picture.

ZahnDavis sees the late Adlai Stevenson asthe hero of “the historic drama of ourtime — the struggle of a humane andrational world order, efficiently organ¬ized and lawfully governed, to be bomout of a chaos of war-making nationalsovereignties that have been rendered so¬cially and economically obsolete by sci¬entific technology.”Strangely, however, Davis seems toback away from the greater and richerdrama in the book — that of Stevensonagainst himself.The struggle apparently began in 1912,when the 12 year old Adlai Stevenson ac¬cidentally shot and killed one of his sis¬ter’s friends with a .22 rifle. It was Dec. 20, at the Stevenson’sBloomington, Ill., family home, that thetragedy occurred. Adlai’s sister, Buffie,gave a supper party after which a guest,Bob Whitmer, “proudly offered to dem¬onstrate the manual of arms, which hehad learned at military school.”Buffie called to Adlai, who was up¬stairs, asking him to go into the atticand fetch down the old .22 rifle that waskept there.Adlai did so; Whitmer “carefully ex¬amined the gun to make sure there wereno bullets in the barrel or magazine, ex¬plaining professionally that this was al¬ways required at school.”He executed the manual, and gave thegun back to Adlai. “As he left with it heexcitedly imitated Whitmer’s move¬ments. The gun went off. Ruth Merwin, another guest, dropped limply to thefloor.”Davis thinks that the incident led toStevenson’s adult self-deprecation anddiffidence — and his fatalism.Davis thinks it was exactly that deepseated fatalism and self-deprecationthat made him hold back at the 1960convention, wanting the nominationagain, but refusing to work for himself,insisting that his supporters overwhelm¬ingly draft him.His failure to get that nominationled to the United Nations post where thereal drama of Stevenson vs. Stevensontook place.But it is at this point that Davis stopsexplaining, perhaps out of the excessiveadmiration of Stevenson that mars thebook.Why did Stevenson defend the exclu¬ sion of Red China from the U.N., theSanto Domingo invasion (which he pri¬vately called a “massive blunder”),the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and other as¬sorted Ruskian policies?What clue is there in Stevenson’s re¬ply to Paul Goodman, who had askedStevenson to resign his U.N. post in pro¬test of those policies.“I am on the team — it is not the waywe play the game, to quit to make apoint.”Did Stevenson the politician overpowerStevenson the man? This is the majorquestion — and the one that Davisleaves unanswered.Mr. Zahn is a junior majoring in polit¬ical science at the University of Wis¬consin at Milwaukee.» *'» * '« V ' Vi - # i < '4 CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW May, 1968*!

Forexample, Bart shows how Flaubert wasoverwhelmed with the romantic move¬ment during his adolescence, turnedagainst it following the disillusionment ofhis early ’20s, then drifted back to it inlater years. The reader can see howsuch influences let to an inevitable con¬clusion for Flaubert: the novel must beproduced as art.In critiques of Flaubert’s works, Bartshows Flaubert’s errors as each workwas developing, summarizes the finishedproducts and criticizes their styles, aswell as presenting how contemporariesand Flaubert himself evaluated theworks.Hie influence of each of Flaubert’sworks on later works and other writersis also discussed by Bart. Each of Flau¬bert’s books, regardless of its own mer¬its, was the seed of a new literary genre which the next generation would develop.For example, Salammbo, his second ma¬jor work, was not considered one of hisbest novels, but it provided the- base forthe historical novel as we know it today.Flaubert’s achievements can be meas¬ured either in terms of popular literarysuccess, which was awarded to MadameBovary, or in terms of whether heachieved his artistic goal. Bart showsthat in many ways Flaubert was suc¬cessful, but that ttie influences on him,and his temperament, appear to haveconflicted with the reaching of his goal.Bart’s book itself will never make thebest-seller lists, because of its length andtopic if for no other reasons. But it isnevertheless invaluable to those interest¬ed in French literature, because of its in¬sights into the generation of authorswhich followed Flaubert as well as itsexcellent review of Flaubert and hisworks.Miss Beach is a first-year student inthe College of Wooster. ately sense the genuine nature of hisintentions in this volume.A Believing Humanism is “an after¬reading, a gleaning” of fragments which,for the most part, Buber chose fromvarious writings — many unpublished —to be included in his final volume Nach-lesse. The choice of articles by Buberwas made on the principle that theybe “valid,” “survival-worthy” expres¬sions of his own life-experience anddreams.For specialists the treatment may lackobjectivity, subjectivity or what-you-will.There is no claim therein for a unifiedor complete statement of Buber’sthought. Fragments, arranged to providea certain continuity, offer only a glanceinto any one area, but the book as awhole succeeds in its endeavor to demon¬strate the central relationship betweenfaith and humanity.This testimonial is somewhat hamperedby long sentences made necessary by anadequate translation of German inflec¬tion. Buber’s poems demonstrate under¬standing of certain concepts which canbe expressed only through metaphor.Short essays deal with “civil disobedi¬ence” and “China;” and there is a note¬worthy section on “the unconscious” —notes taken by Maurice Friedman (trans¬lator) during a psychiatric seminar.A previously unpublished draft, “Onthe Psychologizing of the World” — adefinitive precis on Buber’s understand¬ing of the relationship between the worldand the soul — sets forth the phenom¬enon of psychologism as the difficulty ofreconciling the “I” and the “Thou” ina world which views reality dualisticallyor even pluralistically. Necessary, how¬ever, for a kind of “knowledge”, such perspectives further “the game of hu¬man thought,” since “however separate¬ly the two pillars stand opposite eachother, there still exists a mutual inclu¬sion of I and world.”Concerning the contribution of psychol¬ogy in the overcoming of psychologism,Buber says:If psychologism becomes so inten¬sified that the mar. can simply nolonger bring his capacity for exter¬nal relationship (the inborn Thou)to others, to the world, if hisstrength of relationship recoils back¬ward into the I, if he has to encoun¬ter himself, if the double ever againappears to him, then that state ex¬ists that I call self-contradiction. At¬tempt at flight is pseudo-religious¬ness (the double possesses a religiousmeaning). This phenomenon is theplace of the turning.To realize that this collection nearlyspans the sixty years of Buber’s life,though it appears post-modern, is to rea¬lize the depth and significance of histhought.In A Believing Humanism there is animplict insistence upon the fact thatman’s nature is a self-affirming nature— made explicit in the dynamic flux ofthe creative process.A unique collection of Buber’s thought,A Believing Humanism might well bedubbed “Little Visits with Buber.” Itdeserves the attention of all who wouldunderstand him and who would confirmthe existence of “otherness” by “speak¬ing with one another, not overlookingwhat divides them but determined tobear this division in common.”Mr. Alexander is a junior majoringin Philosophy and French at Valpa¬raiso University.FOLLETT'S FOIBLES By E.

Stuart Hughes.Harper & Row. $6.95.by Robert LeveringThe Obstructed Path is the second vol¬ume of a proposed trilogy in which H.Stuart Hughes, professor of history atHarvard, has taken on the task of eval¬uating European social thought since1890. Consciousness and Society, coveringthe period 1890-1930, was quickly recog¬nized when it was published in 1958 as abrilliant treatment of difficult materialand a valuable contribution to recent in¬tellectual history. In contemplating a se¬quel to that study Mr. Hughes was facedwith even more baffling subject matterwhich became understandable only whenhe divided it into two parts. The clue tounderstanding the intellectual generation1930-1960, he claims, is to recognize theisolation of the French from the main¬stream of European intellectual progressduring this period. In The ObstructedPath, therefore, he deals only withFrench social thought, leaving the restof the intellectual spectrum for a futurevolume.Mr. Hughes takes for his theme Alain-Foumier’s metaphor of “an obstructedpath” to describe the unsuccessful at¬tempts of the French to find a new ave¬nue of thought after their traditional ap¬proach had been destroyed by the FirstWorld War and their way had beenobscured by the passions and anxiety ofthe years of depression and German re¬armament. For Hughes, the most impor¬tant intellectual event of the era was theemigration of German and Austrianwriters to Britain and the United Statesand the resulting intellectual cross-fer¬tilization. Cut off from this interchange,and further isolated by their cultural de¬fensiveness, the French searched desper¬ately for a new method which couldfulfill the functions of the classicalFrench moraliste philosophy in a post-World War Europe. Neo-Thomism, neo-Marxism, and existentialism were tried,but Mr. Hughes feels that they all failedto provide the focus for a new Frenchschool of thought which would transcendthe parochialism of the years of desper¬ation.Mr. Hughes finds this “theme of con¬finement, of breaking out, and of im¬passe” in all areas of French intellectuallife. He deals in turn with major Frenchhistorians, Catholic theologians, novelists,and existentialist philosophers. In thelast chapter, entitled “The Way Out,” heturns to Albert Camus, Pierre Teilhardde Chardin, and Claude Levi-Strauss asexamples of Frenchmen who have had atleast partial success in charting a newcourse. Here for the first time the readeris made aware of the criterion by whichMr. Hughes judges the French intellec¬tuals in the previous five chapters:Camus, Teilhard de Chardin, and Levi-Strauss are seen as “the champions ofFrance’s return to a wider community”because they possessed “the ability tospeak to the concerns of Frenchmen andforeigners alike.”A good example of Mr. Hughes’ methodis his discussion of French historians inthe first chapter, centering on two pri¬mary figures, Marc Bloch and LucienFebvre. While noting the potential of both(in Febvre’s psychological biography,Rabelais, and in Bloch’s new methods ofhistorical analysis partially spelled outin his unfinished The Historian’s Craft),he concludes that they failed finally toarticulate a method which could be trans¬mitted. Because they were better prac¬titioners of their craft than theorists, their occasional brilliance constitutedonly a small permanent contribution tohistoriography. The French historicaltradition suffered from the failure ofBloch and Febvre to combine the literaryand scientific elements present in theirwork in a disciplined manner. Mr.Hughes suggests that due to this failurethe younger French historians misunder¬stood the method of their mentors, andtheir writing degenerated into “romanticflights of rich prose alternating with longstretches of merciless quantification.”Mr. Hughes deals much less severelywith the French Catholics, whom hecredits with inspiring a reforming spiritwhich culminated in the great encycli¬cals of Pope John XXIII. In the Frenchnovels of the period he sees, on the otherhand, little more than a barren reflec¬tion of the hopelessness and desperationof the inter-war years. The French nov¬elists’ “quest for heroism” was indeeda blind alley, never venturing to fillFrance’s moral vacuum and achievingrelevance only in the activism ofDe Gaulle. Jean-Paul Sartre had a muchsurer grasp of the French dilemma, buthe abandoned disinterested investigationin favor of what Mr. Hughes calls “ec¬centric ideological adventures,” lettinghis commitment to Marxism blind him topolitical reality.Mr. Hughes saves his praise for theanthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss, whowas able to combine rigorous scientificskills with the ability to extract morallessons and make generalizations. Allthree men discussed in the last chapter,Camus, Teilhard de Chardin, and Levi-Strauss, were able to transcend the nar¬row cultural nationalism of the Gaullists— a fact which Mr. Hughes attributes totheir being able to draw on non-Frenchbackgrounds in, respectively, Algeria,China, and Brazil. The moral philoso¬phies of Camus and Teilhard de Chardinare seen, however, as beautiful flowersof poetic insight lacking the roots ofscientific method. Only the anthropolo¬gist Levi-Strauss, according to Mr.Hughes, has escaped what he sees as thetraditional pitfall of French men of let¬ters, a penchant for moral philosophiz¬ing combined with a haughty disdain forthe primarily Anglo-Saxon positivisticand analytical approaches.The tone of The Obstructed Path ispleasantly informal. Using his thoroughfamiliarity with the French intellectualscene, Mr. Hughes supplements his anal¬ysis of the literary products of theFrench intellectuals with material ofvarying relevance from their personalbiographies (Maritain’s wife was a Jew),from the French intellectual heritage (in¬fluence of Durkheim and Bergson), andfrom the political scene (effect of theSpanish Civil War or the Korean War onintellectual alignments). This chatty his¬tory with its aggressive thesis and free¬wheeling style makes for exciting, chal¬lenging reading, yet, the work is lessthan convincing and falls short of Con¬sciousness and Society in terms of criti¬cal scholarship.One serious drawback of the bookstems from the fact that Mr. Hugheschose to view French intellectuals as failures because they did not relatesimultaneously to the needs of Franceand the rest of the world. This thesis getsin the way of an understanding of theimportant insights which the Frenchpainfully gleaned from their unique or¬deal. One comes away from reading TheObstructed Path feeling that manyFrench thinkers have been unjustly con¬demned on the basis of an unreasonablestandard. Jacques Maritain, for example,played an important role in stimulatingreformist sentiment in both France andthe United States. Yet Mr. Hughes appar¬ently feels that since Maritain had be¬come irrelevant in France by the timehe was needed in America, this did notconstitute any real contact with a widercommunity — implying Maritain ceasedto be representative of French socialthought when he came to America in1948. Such a thesis seems too narrow toaid in an understanding of French con¬tributions.At times Hughes’ thesis actually getsin the way of an understanding of thematerial. For example, Mr. Hughes seesAlbert Camus’ ethic of rebellion as essen¬tially a conservative live-and-let-live doc¬trine which Camus had taken from hissun-soaked North African home and thenbeen “obliged to dress up. . .for the bene¬fit of his public.”The concept of rebellion was anythingbut a window dressing. Born of an exper¬ience of life’s absurdity which was in¬tensely real for both Camus and hiscountrymen, the feeling of rebellion wasa basic ingredient of the French psycho¬logical condition. In interpreting thiscondition (Sartre described it as nausea)as revolt, Camus was attempting to dealhonestly with existing emotions andchannel them in a positive direction. Thedifficulty with Mr. Hughes’ interpreta¬tion is that the viewpoint is that of aContinued from page oneof patriotism. The Kemer report recog¬nizes some advantages that might ac¬crue from Negro political dominance ofcentral cities. Only Jacobs is totally pes¬simistic; he alone recognizes the futilityof white solutions and he alone fails tosee any possiblity of positive action bythe black community.What conclusions may be drawn fromthe reading of these books? For theblack community in America the mostbasic form of freedom, self-determina¬tion, is yet to be fully realized. Concur¬rently, Black Power, the expression ofthat freedom, has yet to become clearlydefined. But only the black communitycan do this and it is they who must de¬liberate on the relative merits of riot¬ing, voting, boycotting, etc.Their choice, of course, will be condi¬tioned by white response, but it is nolonger appropriate or wise for white pol¬icy makers to think or act unilaterally,as though the black community was alumpen mass to be molded in our (orsome other) image.There are a great many worthy sug- non-Frenchman. This is not the automat¬ic result of the nationality of the author—it is the result of Mr. Hughes decision toadopt an ecumenical standard which isnot always relevant to the unique Frenchsituation.Another problem lies in Mr. Hughes’decision to ignore the obvious date of1914 and begin his study in 1930. He con¬tends that after World War I Francesettled into a period of life-as-usual, anIndian summer, and that it was not un¬til Germany began to rearm and Francebegan to feel the effects of the depres¬sion that the intellectual climate changeddrastically. This is a plausible case, butMr. Hughes takes it too much for grant¬ed. Consciousness and Society has al¬ready met with criticism because it ex¬tended its period of study through the1920’s, and Mr. Hughes does not presentmuch new evidence in The ObstructedPath in defense of his periodization.The value of The Obstructed Path liesin its recognition of the uniqueness ofthe French situation since World War Iand, therefore, the necessity for dealingwith it separately. What Mr. Hughes’book has perhaps also shown by its fail¬ure is that the uniqueness of the Frenchsituation implies that French intellectualachievements cannot always be under¬stood when judged on the basis of anAnglo-Saxon idea of relevance. MrHughes’ view of French social thoughtsince World War I is colored by his highopinion of the fruits of the Central Euro-pean-Anglo-Saxon interchange, and theisolation of the French from this inter¬change becomes for him not just a rea¬son for dealing with them separately buta cause for viewing their various achieve¬ments as failures, hence the theme ofan obstructed path.This may be a useful way of viewingthe French scene, but the subject stillawaits a definitive treatment. The Ob¬structed Path is apt to provoke the writ¬ing of more sympathetic accounts whichtake seriously the uniqueness of theFrench situation and adopt a Frenchstandard.Mr. Levering is a fourth-year studentmajoring in history at The Collegeof Wooster.gestions for policy direction that emergefrom these volumes—our public realmwill be richer for them.

Weybright andTalley. $8.50.by Pete BosmaWe had the writers and thepoets who came for inspirationand to find the truth; and thewriters and poets who came be¬cause at one time it was distinct¬ly unfashionable in literary cir¬cles not to have visited Spain.Constancia de la MaraIn Place of Splendor (1939)In this engrossing work, Stanley Wein¬traub has tried to study the profoundeffects the Spanish Civil War on thenovelists, poets, and journalists of theThirties. The Spanish drama was, on awider scale, equivalent to the wars of acentury ago, the Greek War of Indepen¬dence and the Italian Risorgimentowhich had attracted writers in theirsearch for truth. For, unlike many ofthe wars of the past, the Spanish CivilWar had a soul, a soul which drew andproduced Stephen Spender’s “DividedGeneration of Hamlets, divided betweenour literary vocation and an urge tosave the world from fascism.”In the eyes of the intellectual-activistswho fought or wrote for the Loyalistside, the Cause had the moral grandeurof the Last Great Cause. It was the joltwhich propelled the intellectual into acti¬vism, back into touch with his society.The Cause, this identification with theI rebel and with the dispossessed, caughtthe conscience of a generation. The pac¬ifist became the anti-fascist, eager toserve in the desperate struggle to savethe world from fascism and, hopefully,to stave off a second world war. Butthe failure of the desperate struggle, thefailure of the West to intercede againstthe German and Italian fascists whowere supporting Franco, and the disil¬ lusionment caused by ill-guided ideal¬ism made the Spanish Civil War a per¬sonal tragedy for the intellectuals whohad become involved. To the victors be¬longed the rubble; the bell still tolls forthe “losers”: “The piece of the conti¬nent washed away was Spain, and near¬ly a million men (and perhaps half ageneration of poets) died in the war thathad torn it apart. The world had beengrossly diminished.”Hemingway perhaps best summarizedthe intellectuals’ devotion to the Causewhen he said, “A writer must also be aman of action now.” There were worsethings than war: cowardice, treachery,injustice. “It is very dangerous to writethe truth in war and the truth is verydangerous to come by. .. .and when aman goes to seek the truth in war, hemay find himself dead instead.” Writerswere forged in war and injustice; deathwas the price of war, and one had to ex¬pect the irrationality of lives wasted, orthe wrong lives taken.W. H. Auden said in 1935 that poetryis concerned with telling people what todo, with extending the knowledge ofgood and evil, thereby clarifying theneed for action and for change and“leading to the point where it is possi¬ble for us to make a rational and moralchoice.” The English poet and volunteerto the International Brigades, RalphFox, was certain that “unless he person¬ally and phsyically fought he wouldcease to function fully as a writer.”John Sommerfield asserted that he was“defending the advance of mankind” (even if he was living like a man of theStone Age in the unromantic trenches).These are but a few of the reasons whythe intellectuals went to Spain.However, if a writer is at all political,he is obliged to preserve his critical fac¬ulties and not see events in terms of ablack/white or good/bad dichotomy.“Thus in the Spanish Civil War someEnglish poets were torn between writinggood propaganda (dishonest poetry) andhonest poetry (poor propaganda). ...This means that in the long run the poetmust choose between being politicallyineffectual and politically false.” Forthese and similar reasons, men likeShaw, H. G. Wells, Joyce (Weintraub’sAloof Olympiads) remained uninvolvedwith the war (though they usually sidedwith the Loyalists).For most of the intellectuals who be¬came involved in the Spanish dramathere was a touch of Rudinism (after“Rudin, writer, who had died on aforeign barricade for a lost cause.”)The struggle in Spain was a Rudinismwhich jolted the intellectuals into action,to join the forces of good and right, theside of history, of light and love todestroy the forces of evil. But, to quoteCamus, “It was in Spain that menlearned that one can be right and yetbe beaten, that force can vanquish spir¬it, that there are times when courage isnot its own recompense.”WaitingPAPERBACK PLAYBACKby Jeanne SaferThis spring, the paperback publishershave provided for out delectation a suc¬culent sampling of new titles and well-packaged reprints, some challenging or¬iginal studies in intellectual history andpsychology—and a tourch of porn.The Bantam Modern Classic serieshas added four titles to its distinguishedcollection of the best in twentieth-centuryfiction.

Both include copious notes, in¬troductions, and glossaries, but I still contend that Bantam’s format, with mar¬ginal glosses and critical essays by num¬erous scholars, is more convenient andreadable.Beacon Press offers a comprehensiveanthology on the political, cultural andreligious history of eastern EuropeanJewry entitled The Golden Years andedited by Lucy Dawidowicz.

It should come as no surprisethat a major series of film books wouldemerge under the BFI’s’ influence.Richard Roud’s book Godard bearsthe code number CW1, and it is indeedappropriate that this distinction shouldgo to Jean-Luc Godard. Not because heis the greatest director working today,but because he is definitely the mostvital and often discussed director of the“current” cinema. Roud admits thatGodard is as hated as he is loved (itis a testament to Godard’s greatnessthat his films always arouse vehementresponses from his audiences) but Roudrefuses to write a book aimed at con¬version. The choice was indeed wise.Roud is very passionate about God¬ard and it is this passion that comesthrough most in the book. This is whatany reader of his review should expect.Roud is so successful in creating thefeeling of Godard that one wants to stopreading Roud and go look at Godard.The second book in the series, Loseyon Losey, is an 172-page interview withthe prominent director in the British cin¬ema (“The Servant," “Accident,” “Mod¬esty Blaise”) who was, before thepurges of McCarthyism drove him out,a leading director in America.Joseph Losey, like Hitchcock, does not .. .In the last analysis one dies be¬cause it’s part of the bargain hetakes on when he agrees to live.

The desperate em¬brace of Communism in the ’30s as alast chance, perhaps the best chance,the idea that Marxism was a means tocontrol the elements of fascist violence,turned into a profound disillusionment,accompanied by the realization thatCommunism had been no chance at all.The political poetry was acclaimed “inthe political surge of the moment, re¬jected when disillusionment set in.”Much of the writing inspired by a lostcause was rendered suspect. Writersnow dead lived out the myth of the cru¬sade to Spain; those who survived wereleft to exorcise the impact the SpanishCivil War had made upon their literaryproducts and careers. “It had been apoet’s war but the war had drained—orclaimed—its poets.”“Countries do not live only by victor¬ies,” Premier Juan Negrin told the lastmeeting of the Loyalist Cortes, “but bythe examples which their people hadknown how to give in tragic times.”The grandeur of the Last Great Causewas real; now perhaps we can only com¬miserate with John Osborne’s JimmyPorter that there are no “good bravecauses left” after Spain.Mr. Bosma is a junior majoring inEconmics at Albin College.for Fellinifeel secure discussing the thematic con¬tent of his films; that is the job of thecritics, and, most important, of the au¬dience. He does feel, however, that “it’smportant for a serious audience to under¬stand what the problems of filmmakingare, how much can be controlled andhow much cannot.” Losey is one of themost verbally articulate of film directorsas well as a superbly capable craftsman,and the book emerges as a substantialhandbook on the making of films. Assuch, it is of interest to anyone morethan marginally interested in movies,whether they are familiar with Losey’swork or not.The book never, however, achieves thebrilliance of a Truffaut-Hitchcock con¬versation, but then Losey is an excellentfilmmaker but not a great one, andMilne is not a filmmaker at all butmerely a critic.The least satisfying of these books isGeoffrey Nowell-Smith’s Visconti. This isin part due to the tiny exposure whichVisconti has had in this country. Manyof his films have never reached mostAmerican cities; two of his major works,“Rocco and His Brothers” and “TheLeopard” have only been shown in mu¬tilated form here; a third major film,“Senso,” made in 1954, has only thisyear been released in its proper form.It is very difficult to judge criticism ofwork one has not seen.The book’s failure is also due to Now-ell-Smith’s overly scholarly and pedanticwriting, especially disconcerting whencoupled with some very unscholarlyattitudes. The book is less a study ofVisconti than a book of Nowell-Smith’sattitudes about Visconti. Since Nowell-Smith is not a particularly exciting manhimself, the book suffers considerably.Mr. Fox is a second-year studentmajoring in humanities at the Collegeof the University of Chicago.May, 1968 CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW 7r r.THCH?. iftQOHkli.The Russians are comingThe Russian Empire, 1801-1917, byHugh Seton-Watson.

Inall, it seems that Seton-Watson hasspared no pains in his investigation.Like/ise, a reading of the work itselfreveals an unusually well-performed bal¬ancing of economic, cultural, political,and social history, in inverse order ofimportance for this work, covering theepoch beginning with the reighn of theidealist Alexander and ending with the ignominious fall of the monarchy.But what is most intriguing about thecontent of the work is the fact that afterdelving into this massive tome, the read¬er realizes that he is witnessing one ex¬ample of the evolution of a phenomenonwhich is of immense importance toTwentieth Century man, and which hasbeen of late, the object of tremendousacademic inquiry, that is, the complexand all-encompassing process of modern¬ization with all its social, cultural andpolitical ramifications. In this instance,however, the modernization occurs with¬in a society where the initiative had al¬ways been “expected to come neitherfrom the people, nor from a social elite,but from the Tsar.” In his conclusion, anexcellent essay in its own right, Seton-Watson presents some hints for a com¬parison of the multi-faceted processwhich “happened” in the West, butwhich in Russia, was “willed by theruler.” In a way, he seems to invitethe reader to consider the narrativeagain, with this process in mind. (Per¬haps this is the best advise I can giveto prospective readers of the work.)Aside from the content of his work,Seton-Watson’s methodology reveals aconcern with many of the questionswhich seem to be troubling many of themost prominent of our contemporary his¬torians. He seems to have contracted, ifonly in mild form, the current histo¬rian’s occupational disease, the major symptom of which is the weird compul¬sion to justify their ability to analyzeany period other than their own withvalidity.Seton-Watson, in apparent sympathywith these concerns, is (if his openingstatement is any indications) doubtful ofour ability to understand times and cul¬tures foreign to our own. He confidesthat:It is difficult to write the historyof another country. The foreigner hasnot grown up in its physical andmental climate, and he cannot un¬derstand them, still less feel them,the same way as its people do.Now while this statement hardly in¬spires the confidence of the reader, itdid inspire Seton-Watson to approachthe data with which he is concernedwith a method which is extremely ef¬fective, especially for the readers towhom, he says, the book is directed.These readers are, he says,the English-speaking public — andnot even to the expert on specific sec¬tors of history, not even to the spec¬ialist in Russian history, so much asto the reader in general history.From cover to cover his analysis com¬pares Russian events with similar oc¬currences in the West (and occasion¬ally Japan), beginning with a compari¬son and contrast of the origin andgrowth of the Grand Duchy of Moscowwith that of Castille in the West, andconcluding with a similar juxtaposition of the Polish nationality problem andthe Irish question that plagued BritainLikewise, he seems concerned withthe problem of just what issues heshould investigate and where. As a re¬sult, he devotes an unusual amount oftime to the unfolding of Russian policyin Asia and the nationality problems ofthe Empire, centering upon such areasas Estonia, Latvia, the Ukraine, and ofcourse, Poland. Thus, he reaveals theconcern for popular movements andsocial change that Barracloughemphasizes.But significantly enough, what is intentionally lacking is any explanation of theinevitability of the Bolshevik Revolutionand its predecessor in terms-of Nine¬teenth Century history, a study which hepoints out, “can be found in a good dealof Western historical literature” as wellas in Marxist historiography. In short,while aware of the problem of culturaldesolation plaguing current historians,he seems intent on ignoring the old ques¬tions while striking out in new or little-investigated areas. Thus, Seton-Watson.because he applies the methods of comparative history within a frameworksharply delimited by his own cognizanceof the tremendous social and temporalgap which he is trying to overcome,presents an excellent example of current historiography.Mr. Schott is a senior majoring inhistory at Duquesne University inPittsburgh.Suggested OutsideReadingfromThe University of ChicagoBookstoreGeneral Book Department5802 ELLIS AVE.

He added that hewas consulting the University’slegal advisers for advice.According to Student Govern¬ment President Jeffrey Blum, fur¬ther action in opposition to Univer¬sity policy is planned, but the formof such action has not yet beendecided. dents harrassed the officers exten¬sively, spitting on them and yellingat them.

I This isAlvin Palmer, an Associate Programmer at IBM. i“But by this time, I was making a pretty good salary. So I was faced witha big question. Would IBM be willing to let me move into a new fieldwhich would mean going to school and not being productive for a while?“The answer was ‘ves.’ I went to programming school full time for threemonths. And IBM continued to pay my full salary.“I get a tremendous kick out of programming. You’re telling a computerhow to do its job, and it really gets you involved. Maybe because you’recontinually solving problems.”You don’t need a technical degree“Your major doesn’t matter. Thereare plenty of programmers at IBMwith degrees in liberal artsor business.What counts is having a logical mind.“I’m making good progress in this field,so I’m glad I was able to make thechange. I think it indicates how farIBM will go to help you make the most ofyour abilities.”Al’s comments cover only a small part ofthe IBM story. For more facts, visit yourcampus placement office.
