A bleak, cold, snowyday. Thousands of people stand shiveringin front of the capitol in Washington D.C.as a glowing and self-confident Richard M.Nixon recites his inaugural oath. As hestutters his last words through chatteringteeth, . . preserve, protect, and defendthe Constitution of the United States, sohelp me God,” the crowd lets go with wildcheers.But people are not cheering in Chicago.The city’s plumbing system has just ex¬ploded. Lake Michigan is draining quickly.Mayor Daley is drowned in a flood at cityhall.“Flush for Freedom,” the devious scemeby which every possible toilet in the coun¬try will be flushed as Nixon delivers thelast word of his oath, is a success.The idea for this “massive demonstra¬tion in protest of the existence of the newadministration” comes from the Studentsfor Violent Non-Action (SVNA). “As wesee it, the northeast and southwest willbreak off, and a huge wave will whipacross the country and over the moun¬tains,” asserted Frank Malbranche, nation¬al co-ordinator of SVNA. “The San An¬dreas Fault will be demolished. The tidalwave will result in a huge inland sea in thegreat plains area. Chicago is sure to getwiped out.”Malbranche, a five-feet, two-inch, red-haired, skinny “outside agitator,” whotalks with a lisp and wears thick wire rim¬med glasses, stressed the importance of“flushing on God.”“People are prevented from expressingtheir own opinions at election time; votesare stolen.” Malbranche said. “We wanteveryone to vote no — to press the nolever in the privacy of their own home. While a vote can be stolen, a broken watermain cannot be denied.”According to Steve Landsman, public re¬lation co-ordinator of the “flush for free¬dom” movement, letters have been sentout to over 500 universities publicizing thedemonstration. “Already the response isencouraging,” he said. Landsman statedthat plans for sabotaging Chicago includeflushing toilets at city hall, the Conrad Hil¬ton, and all the IC stations.On campus, dormitory house presidentsare being approached to form cadres andassign them to various points on the qua¬drangles and in the city. “According to en¬gineers,” Landsman stated, “there is agood chance that we can get Pierce Towerreverberating.”The SVNA, according to Landsman, hasa “long and sordid history.” It began asthe “Ochlicrats” in 1965; since then it hasbeen known as the Young ConsumptiveLeague, the Whitman, Speck, UbermenchSociety, and the IRAZC (Irish RepublicanArmy Zionist Coalition).Student reaction to the “flush for free¬dom” is optimistic.“Boy, that would make a great PeterSellers movie,” said one student excitedly“It won’t work in Upper Flint,” said anoth¬er co-ed. “All the toilets there are auto¬matic.” (Landsman, however, has deviseda technique for unlocking automatic urin¬als.)“I think it’s very fitting to flush in thenew administration and flush out the old —in fact, maybe we could do it everymonth,” exclaimed one bearded, third yearstudent.And: “I think a better idea would be tolet out twenty thousand greased pigs inWashington D.C.”“I think the pigs will be there anyhow.”FLUSH-IN: Students prepare to express their opinion of theinauguration of Richard NixonMAROONCLASSIFIEDADMAIL-INFORMSAVAILABLE AT:Central Information Desk,Reynolds Club and alldormitories..

Theprofessional, non-denominational four yearprogram prepares graduates for the min¬istry.E Spencer Parsons, dean of RockefellerChapel and BTU trustee, said that thecommitment of the BTU, which became aUniversity board to see that the needs ofthe divinity school were looked after, was“clear and unequivocal.” Parsons addedthat student agression succeeded in mak¬ing more people aware of the problem.Parsons was one of five scheduled facul¬ty speakers at the morning conference.Others were divinity school dean JeraldBrauer, Gibson Winter, Peter Homans, andJay Wilcoxen.

While the ideal studentpopulation would be 250, he said, 450 stu¬dents are now enrolled.When interviewed by a Maroon reporterThursday noon, the dean said he had notbeen notified of the demands of the DSA.Brauer said that last quarter the facultyproposed and approved a plan to make stu¬dents a part of the Policy and PhD com¬mittees (students already belong to the DMn committee), but that the DSA rejectedthe plan and called for a public debate.When the Faculty Policy Committee sug¬gested a panel discussion instead, studentsagreed.“To my knowledge we’ve heard nothingabout that discussion yet,” Brauer said.“My object is to get student participation.What is their object?” system which is to be available to studentswho choose to design their own curricu¬lum. This they feel can be done if a con¬fidential dossier will be kept on all degree¬seeking students. The file, which would beaccessible to the student, would contain,among other things, grades and commentsfrom all required courses in the facultycurriculum, from tutorial advisers, and thefaculty-student board of review whichwould review students’ academic plan eachyear.Areas of competency would be decidedby students with the advice of faculty. Thismeans that any student who is taking therecommended curriculum may choose toreplace it with his own plan, as long as hedoes so in conjunction with the teacher ofthe course.Finally, the students demand that thename of the 3-year professional degreeprogram be changed from “bachelor’s” de¬gree to “master of arts”.These demands were presented to the fac¬ulty Wednesday morning with an invitationto meet with them after the 24-hour vigil.The two-hour meeting Thursday between15 students and seven faculty members re¬sulted in a student committee, a solutionwhich both Edward F Manthei, presidentof CTS, and Kaufman consider as “satis¬factory and definite”.The committee, consisting of NicholasBauman, Robert Whitney, John Rhode,Ronald Aisenbray, and Kaufman, all first-year students in the seminary; will meetwith faculty members every Thursday af¬ternoon to discuss the issues involved.“We look upon the committee with faithand promise,” said Kaufman. He predictsthat a creative solution will be reached atthe end of the quarter.At an official seminary dinner Thursdaynight, seminary, students were informed ofthe issues under consideration, “so that ev¬eryone knows what’s happening,” saidPresident Manthei.Big SkiPackage DealON THIS BIG SPECIALCOMBINATION OFFER!You Get...FISCHER ALPINE-DL SKISMARKER SIMPLEX TOEMARKER TELMAT HEELUVEX SKI GLASSESLEATHER SAFETY STRAPUpper PeninsulaSki Tours&Sport Center5210 So.

For¬mer faculty member Jesse Lemisch andassistant professor of sociology RichardFlacks also spoke at the meeting, attendedby about 125 people.Mrs Dixon began by speaking of her ex¬perience with the profession of sociology atthe University.“I want to make understandable to my¬self what has happened to me during threeyears at Chicago. I was turning into a dif¬ferent sociologist—and that transformationwas developing and revealing itself in theclassroom ... I was increasingly gropingfor a different style of academic work, anew definition of my role in academia.”She indicated that she considered teach¬ing a more adequate way of fulfilling hercommitment to sociology than by publish¬ing in profesional sociological journals.Paraphrasing C Wright Mills, she statedthat “Careerism, counting coups in aca¬demia, has robbed us of our most preciousresource, men who care about truth andvision ...”She called for a rebirth of the radicaltradition that Mills exemplified, sociologythat affects men personally.She concluded by saying, “I believe thatthis is (the radical sociologist’s) calling:to know that men make history, and that,as Mills said, men increasingly controlhistory; that we forge an understandingof the social processes that set men free.”Professor Flacks spoke of the difficultposition of the radical sociologist today. Hedenied the radical as “someone who seekst tDoes he dare defy WITCH'S curse?WITCHes Put Hex on JanowitzEight women from WITCH (Women’s In¬ternational Terror Conspiracy from Hell)burst into the Soc Tea room of the SocialSciences Building Thursday afternoon justlong enough to utter a hex upon MorrisJanowitz, chairman of the department ofsociology.The eight WITCHes chanted in front ofapproximately 30 people, “Beware ofthe curse, the witch’s curse.

Thursday was the firsttime WITCH has appeared in Chicago, butaccording to one participant, “It won’t bethe last.”Morris Janowitz, who has been critizedby students for his report on social riots, iscurrently involved in a controversy in¬volving the department of which he is thechairman. The department of sociologyrecently declined to rehire Marlene Dixon,an assistant professor, and one aspect ofstudent protest against this decision claimsthat the department is discriminatingagainst women.The WITCH’S curse also stated, “ ‘Socialcontrol of escalated riots’ —disguised at¬tempt to keep blacks quiet. At night we’llcome destroy your peace — your darkestdreams shall be the least of all the cursesthat will arise if sister Marlene is not re-hired.”The WITCHes later repeated the cursedownstairs in front of a room where Ja¬nowitz was to teach a class. Janowitz wasnot present at either occasion. He wouldgive no comment on the occurrence, andsaid that he would state his position at theopen meeting of the sociology departmentFriday at 4:30 in Judd 126. other groups than the establishment togather information for and one who is sen¬sitive to the uses of his work. Once a soci¬ologist’s research is published in the pro¬fessional journals, he argued, it is synthe¬sized by other sociologists so that “one isessentially in service to the people whocontrol the social order.”A radical who seeks to transmit data tothe groups that he is interested in helping,by means other than publication, Flackssaid, will not meet the professional stan¬dards of his department.Open HousingThe Open Housing Coalition has de¬manded that the designer of the studentvillage, Edward Larrabee Barnes, draw upan alternative plan, which would in¬corporate the recommendations of theBlum committee.Last week the group discussed the planwith an architectural committee headed byTom Foreman, intern at Chicago Associ¬ates architects. “We met with them be¬cause the coalition needed accurate, in¬formed opinion cm what can or cannot bedone to modify the Barnes plan,” explainedSteve Weston, one of the group’s members.“When we told them our objections to theplan and our ideas they said that the planwas unsuitable for the university.”Saturday, January 18 Monday, January 20DEADLINE: Application deadline for Admissions testDeadline 9r?dU?-te s,udy in business.LINE: Application deadline for law school admis-WDCr,S'°n teSt-me1t!ngNG; Knox' Bartl*"' 1:30-rh ' To .or9an*z® a co-operative seminar to ex¬change insights and info-mation on the opera-T on of small groups.

In the past week there have been threedemonstrations. They have all been rather small and nonviolent.(The most damage that has been done was that a little chip wastaken out of the Ad Building steps.) But the demonstrations havebeen very important, because they signal a shift away fromdemonstrations against some of the tangential parts of the Uni¬versity.The students who want to keep Marlene Dixon, the divinitystudents who want to keep the doctorate of ministry program,the Chicago Theological School students who want to liberalizetheir curriculum, all are demonstrating for things that are at theheart of the University. They are seeking to change the mannerof education and the direction of scholarship on this campus. Thedemonstrators, contrary to the commentators in the establishedpress who rant about the student hooliganism and the impendingcollaspe of all respect for authority, are not trying to destroytheir schools. They have not singled out a part of the Universityand agitated for its removal (such as the Berkeley ban on campuspoliticking (1965), or the Columbia gym (1968), or even Chicago’sracist real estate covenants which brought the first sit-in here in1960). They are working to improve the academic processes ofthe University.With Marlene Dixon’s case, they have hit very close to thecenter of these processes. They are asking questions about thefailure of the sociology department to rehire Mrs Dixon that stu¬dents wouldn’t have asked a few years ago, because then the ideawas that the faculty or the administrators or the trustees madethe decisions and the students, in the role of niggers shut up.The questions are relevant: were there political reasons behindthe department’s decision? Why can’t the committee on humandevelopment reappoint Mrs Dixon on its own? Would she havebeen reappointed if she were a man? Are these decisions madeon the basis of a formula like “publish or perish”? And if the de¬partment answers all these questions negatively, and if they sayquality of teaching is a consideration, then what students wereasked to find out what kind of a teacher she is?There are other questions which students have applied to thedivinity school and the Chicago Theological Seminary, and theyare demanding answers. In the CTS they have not only askedquestions, they have presented a comprehensive plan to revise itscurriculum.In substance the students’ demands, if conceded, would give Ithem more control over their education. They would gain powerin the hiring and firing of faculty. At CTS they would decide theircurriculum. At the divinity school they would at least retain thedegree program that they have been working on for the last fouryears.If these demonstrations for educational reform are the be¬ginning of a trend, and it seems that they are (SG, for example,has gotten interested in the subject), students will gain power inthe University. The faculties will have to answer the students’substantive questions. And having conceded to the right of thestudents to ask them, eventually they will have to grant them morecontrol over curriculum, and faculty appointments.These are the most important parts of the University, theacademic parts. And it is right that students have something tosay about them and that they be heard.6/The Chicago Maroon/January 17, 1969 Who’s Challenging WhomAs IIT Confronts SDSBy Paula SzewcykLast October that great institution dedi¬cated to discovering humane methods ofmurdering people, the Illinois Institute ofTechnology, suspended the campus Stu¬dents for a Democratic Society (SDS)chapter and restricted 99 percent of its ac¬tivities denying it the right to have outsidespeakers, show films, hold demonstrations.According to the IIT administration,SDS had invited SNCC speakers to a meet¬ing and had shown a National LiberationFront film without informing the adminis¬tration even though there exist no regu¬lations stating that the administrationmust be informed of all activities present¬ed by any recognized student organizationsuch as SDS. What is clear, however, isthat the administration has violated the po¬litical and academic freedom of a group ofstudents. And furthermore the adminis¬tration is bent on suppressing any left wingactivity on campus.If no such regulations exist than whywas SDS banned? It is evident that the mil¬itary-industrial-educational complex wasbeing threatened. The IIT-SDS has ex¬posed the university’s involvement withchemical and biological warfare. SDS hasrevealed from a copy of the IIT’s annualfiscal report to the board of trustees thatIIT has received over $3,000,000 from thefederal government, $4,600,000 from theUnion Oil Company as well as another $6million for “special research grants” of asecretive nature. The administration alsoRevolutionDuring the past week a student revolu¬tion has quietly begun on the Universitycampus. Graduate and College students —denied genuine participation in the crucialprocess whereby faculty members arehired and retained — have expressed theirdissatisfaction with the failure of the Uni¬versity to reappoint Marlene Dixon protest¬ing with a bonfire, marches, and specialmeetings. Students of Chicago TheologicalSeminary, demanding basic curriculum re¬forms and comfnitment to continuing in¬novation and freedom within their school,have occupied their president’s office for24 hours.

The test case will involve theviolation of constitutional rights by an ad¬ministration of a private university whoseprofit-making interests perpetuated by warare being confronted by the activities ofSDS and BSO.The absurdity of the whole issue is thatSDS is forced to take the case to court todetermine whether the university has thelegal right to ban any student organizationwhich has not broken any regulations.Bringing the case to court raises the ques¬tion of whether SDS has the right to contin¬ue its activities on campus. But the ques¬tion is irrelevant—SDS does have the rightAny university violating the constitutionalrights of any student or groups does nothave the right to exist. It should be de¬stroyed.sity fund essential programs, and, to as¬sure meaningful participation in the totaleducational process, that students assumefull and equal voting representation in alldecision making bodies of their school. Allthese events, despite the different issuesinvolved, point to the fact that the situationis growing increasingly serious and thatstudents are now refusing to be run roughshod by administration decisions which af¬fect their lives but over which they haveno control. In short, all the ingredients tomake a Columbia riot or a San FranciscoState strike are here right now.The use of the Hutchins philosophy ofuniversity administration in which as fewpeople as possible make any decision hasmade the University into a benevolent dic¬tatorship. The president, with his vice-presidents and deans, has absolute controlof the school. He alone has access to accu¬rate budget figures. He alone can carryout policy decisions. The students, the fac¬ulty, and, believe it or not, even thetrustees are locked out of the traditionallyestablished power structure. Yet if the Uni¬versity is to become a community of facul¬ty and students rather than a communityof administrators, faculty and studentsmust have full voice in setting policieswhich affect the quality, direction, andscope of education at Chicago. In the wakeof congressional budget cuts, the adminis¬tration’s reliance on government funds hasproved disastrous (the loss of approximate¬ly $40 million dollars in anticipated reve¬nue) and precipitated a major financialcrisis within the University — certainly ad¬ministration has nothing to lose from thenew ideas and active concern of a facultyinvolved in the solution of these problems.The student body particularly will nolonger be ignored. To use one studeni sphrase, community is more than “holdinghands to warm the cold city” — studentsrefuse to be patted on the head, to be theobject of the administration’s or the facul¬ty’s paternalism. Community means thatthe maturity, the intelligence, and the in¬tegrity of students be respected, and thatthey assume their full and rightful role inadministrative processes which determinetheir own education. If not, the studenirevolution may not be so quiet in theweeks to come.Marlin GilbertDivinity School StudenLETTERS TO THE EDITORSIssues Behind Mrs. Dixon's DismissalBy Melvin RothenbergThe dismissal of Marlene Dixon, basedpresumably on the dissatisfaction of the so¬ciology department with her publicationperformance, indicates a disdain for andindifference to contributions and achieve¬ments which lie outside the narrowest pro¬fessional and departmental definitions.Marlene Dixon brought to the University ofChicago a complex of concerns, skills, andtalents that was sorely needed. As a con¬sequence, she played a unique and dis¬tinctive role on campus. In doing so, shechallanged and exposed the defects of theUniversity of Chicago, and the elite Ameri¬can university in general. She both deliber¬ately and inadvertantly raised issues whichthis campus has never been willing to face,Gadflyissues which can be comprehended only ifit is possible to breach the stifling and in¬furiating rhetoric of self praise and selfadulation which all too often passes forserious discussion when the subject is thecharacter of this university.The first issue, and one that has beenalready mentioned in the Maroon editorial,is the theme of innumerable sterile dis¬cussions. The U of C is not able to face upto the problem of the really brilliant anddevoted teacher. Marlene Dixon, by all ac¬counts, is one of the few people aroundhere who is really dedicated to and talent¬ed in teaching. Most of the faculty hereare rather like me — primarily research¬ers, with a limited interest In and talentfor teaching. Since most research versusteaching discussions do not accept thisfact, they are usually sterile, and often inbad faith. There is, in fact, an objectivecontradiction between the natural demandof the undergraduate and professionalschool students for professors whoseprimary concern is to assist them in devel¬oping intellectually, and those forces (in¬cluding the bulk of the faculty) who seethe university as primarily a center forscientific and scholarly research. Pointingto the exceptional professor (exceptionalhere and elsewhere) who is both a superbresearcher and teacher, doesn’t resolvethis contradition. This division is somewhatblurred here because of the large numberof graduate students in the academic dis¬ciplines who hope themselves to becomescholars and scientific researchers, andthus have a more complicated and am¬biguous relation with the faculty. In anycase, the students being too weak to presstheir interests, the talented teacher, likeMarlene Dixon, who concerns herself withteaching at the expense of research pro¬ductivity doesn’t make it here, since inmost departments teaching performancesimply does not enter into promotion deci¬sions.Although the first issue raised by Mar¬lene Divon’s dismissal is discussed ad hau-seum. a second and more fundamental is¬sue is almost never mentioned outside ofsmall radical circles. That issue is the per¬vasive and massive institutional dis¬crimination against women, both here andelsewhere. Marlene Dixon, being deeply in-volved in the women’s liberation move¬ment, and being an expert on women in10 Professions, has effectively and sharplyraised this matter on campus. Further, she*s the only member of the present facultyw. has done so. Open racism and anti¬semitism being no longer acceptable inaculty and administrative circles, malec auvinism remains a much-admired prac-ICe' index of the problem is the smallPercentage of women faculty members,ard the fact that many of them have mar-8*nal and peripheral positions. Anothermanifestation is the nepotism rule whose0 e function is to deny women faculty po-■1 ions which they deserve, since it doesn’t MARLENE DIXON:Persecuted?seem to apply to situations where the dan¬gers of actual nepotism seem more acute— say, for example, to brothers of Pro¬vosts, or sons of deans. Another manifesta¬tion is the common practice of “dis¬couraging” married women from enteringgraduate school, often with the not toosubtle hint that a woman’s place is in thehome. The treatment of Jean Bamburger,the subject of a letter in the last issue ofthe Maroon, is another manifestation of thetype of treatment which a woman can ex¬pect. One could go on indefinitely in thisvein. Marlene Dixon had the courage toraise these issues from her vulnerable po¬sition and to attempt to provide supportand encouragement to women graduatestudents, upon whom the institutional chau¬vinism is most sharply focused. It shouldbe emphasized that the denial to womenstudents, particularly graduate students, ofwomen professors to provide the necessarysupport and encouragements is itself anact of institutional chauvinism. The obejc-tive situations of women graduate studentsis similar to that of black students, andinstitutional chauvinism is very similar, inmany respects, to institutional racism.A third very important issue that Mar¬lene Dixon’s dismissal raises is the toler¬ance of this institution for faculty withradical politics. Marlene is a political ac¬tivist, was a leader of CORE in Los Angel¬es while a graduate student, and has open¬ly associated herself with the New Leftstudents, and the NUC group on thiscampus. When we on the left raise thisissue, we are accused of being simulta¬neously lunatic and disingenuous. The no¬tion that political criteria may enter into apersonal decision is regarded as incredibleand obscene, and that even to raise theissue is somehow vulgar, if not actuallytreasonous.Undoubtedly, this shocked horror is tosome extent genuine. At the same time, itis absurd. After all it is the most naturalthing in the world to want to get rid ofradicals on the faculty. They are not nice;they get angry and insult people, write in¬ temperature letters to the editor; they pub¬licly abuse their colleagues; they associatewith students in all sorts in non-profes¬sional ways, encouraging them to engagein disruptive activities; they make publicspectacles of themselves, bringing downthe wrath of the dean on the department,and the wrath of the politicians andtrustees on the university. In short, theyare, at best, nuisances and, at worst,threaten the cohesiveness and tranquilityof the campus. The mechanism of person¬nel decisions is not after all a computermeasuring on some purely “objective”scale one’s strengths and accomplishmentsand making a decision on that basis, butmen who inevitably seek to separate fromthemselves what annoys and threatensthem. Thus, it would be unreasonable notto expect the powers that be to welcomeevery opportunity to get rid of faculty radi¬cals; the less seemingly political thegrounds of such a dismissal, the better.Recent history bears out this analysis. Inthe past five years, I know of five facultyradicals who were either dismissed or “en¬couraged” to leave. Since in the past eightyears there has been at most a dozen ac¬tive faculty radicals on this campus, thegroup of five represents a significant pro¬portion. I am certain that almost all thepeople most instrumental in ridding thecampus of these radicals were genuinelyconvinced that the motives of their actswere not political; however, the effect ofthese acts was to remove half of the peoplewho raised painful issues and challengedconstituted authority. Most of those remain¬ing are untenured, and their futures herehardly secure.The distribution of faculty left is also re¬vealing. The tenured faculty who have anybut the most secret identification and sym¬pathy with either the old or new left areconcentrated in the biological and physicalscience divisions. To the best of my knowl¬edge, in the crucial faculties of history, po¬litical science, economics, sociology, andlaw, there is not one tenured member whofits this description. Since nationally these areas contain a substantial segment of leftfaculty, it is a little difficult to believe thatthe absence of leftists among our faculty inthese areas does not indicate a systematicbias in the hiring and promotion policiesin these fields.The result of such practice is the ab¬sence of a campus intellectual life whichcan transcend the separation of the variousdisciplines from one another, or the classdifferences between faculty and students.Think of having a law school which had thewit to invite Bernadine Dohrn, an experton the legal defense of political radicals,and a national officer of SDS, to give aseries of lectures or debates on law andthe left. Again, what dees it say about thegap between students and professors onour campus, that a debate on the role ofhistory between new left historians JesseLemisch, Staugljton Lynd, Joan and DonScott, which 400 students attended, not onesenior history faculty member waspresent. Why doesn’t the Economics De¬partment invite our distinguished U of CPh D,* Andre Gunder Frank, to give imper¬ialism? These comments are, of course,reflect a politics which is entirely excludedfrom the higher level of the faculty of thedisciplines which deal with social policy.This is not to say that our social sciencefaculties are “above” politics or are wed¬ded to matters of theory as opposed to mat¬ters of practical social policy. It is no se¬cret that the hearts and minds of many ofour most prominent social scientists belongto the Pentagon, or to the right wing of thepolitical machine, or to McNamara and hisaction intellectuals. Morris Janowitz, chair¬man of the Sociology Department, is anexpert on the sociology of the military, hasclose ties to the Pentagon, and is the au¬thor of a study on police control of urbanriots.What must be emphasized is that staff¬ing the social science faculties with profes¬sors whose politics are far to the right ofthe most active and politically sophis¬ticated students is an educational tragedy.The gap between them being so wide, thefaculty and students simply don’t interacton the level of political ideology, and par¬tially as a result of this, the campus lacksthe kind of serious political debate which isa prerequisite to building a unifying in¬tellectual culture, which in this period ofhistory must be built around fundamentalpolitical and social concerns. This is whyradical social science faculty are so cru¬cial at this time. They should play the role,played in the 1950’s by the teachers of lit¬erature and Great Books courses, of pro¬viding the vocabulary for a commoncampus culture. Marlene Dixon is one ofviding the covabulary for a commmoncampus culture. Marlene Dixon is one ofthe very few people here who have theskills and background to do this. This, iffor no other reason, is why her dismissalis so stupid.Finally, in analyzing political pressureson faculty we must go beyond legalisticand formalistic civil liberty concernswhich grew out of the political situationon campus during the 1950’s but are in¬adequate to the real situation of today. Thefact, that no one is going to get fired fromthe U of C today for assigning the writingsof Chairman Mao as class readings, doesnot prove that political criterion are notoperative in personnel decisions. It onlyshows that politics is operating at a differ¬ent and more subtle level, a level moreappropriate to the actual political struggleoccuring at universities and collegesacross the country. This is the struggle be¬tween those in power who represent anelitist and reactionary view of profes¬sionalism, and the younger faculty, lead byveterans of the student movement, who arestriving for a humanistic integration ofknowledge and education. Marlene Dixonis a casualty of this struggle.(Melvin Rothenberg is an associate pro¬fessor in the mathematics department.)"

For fiction it is incomparable and whenused for a study method, it gives the student a clear advantageover others in that he can read 2 to 3 times what most studentsread once."Rita Weber, Teacher, says, ' Before taking your course, I wasconstantly overburdened with reading matter that I was simplyunable to get to. Reading Dynamics helped me considerable,making my research work easier and more enjoyable."Perry Jones, Student, says, ''Without the techniques I learnedduring the Reading Dynamics sessions, I could never read thevariety of books I am able to read now. My grades in school aregood and I am able to study faster. The course was wonderful."Cathy Farris, a medical research major at the University ofIllinois, says, "The Reading Dynamics method not only improvesspeed but incorporates the study techniques and proper attitudetoward the reading material necessary for above averagecomprehension."Senator William Proxmire of Wisconsin says, "The single mostdifficult problem for a senator is to be informed in all kinds ofways.

His historical workshave concentrated on the American revolution, particu¬larly its relevance to current American society. In aspeech November 8, 1968, at a teach-in on the draftsponsored by the Hyde Park Anti-Draft Union, precedinga draft card turn-in at the University of Chicago, Lyndoutlined his ideas on the politics of resistance. Followingis an edited transcript of that speech.By Staughton LyndI’m going to talk about resistance politics: the broadermeaning of Resistance as a movement directed not onlyagainst the draft but against other illegitimate author¬ities in this society, as a movement which takes on anew meaning, has to take on a new meaning in Nixon’sUnited States.I want to introduce my remarks — to provide text, asit were — with two items which showed up in the mail.One is the New York Times account of the demonstra¬tions which took place in Prague Nov. 7 against theSoviet occupation. The account in the Times ended withthe following charming vignette:After the Soviet flag was removed from the Ministryof Foreign Trade, following ten minutes of shouting, thecrowd moved half a block to the building housing thePrague Military Council. There several youths with along nail-studded plank tore down the Soviet flag over¬head. They succeeded in slashing most of it, then setfire to what was left of the flag.A police bus arrived and the policemen charged thecrowd with their clubs. At least eight persons were ar¬rested. But immediately afterwards the demonstratorssurrounded the police bus insisting that they be giventhe badge number of a policeman who allegedly strucka student. The policemen conferred among themselvesand finally gave the number to the crowd. They ap¬peared to be embarrassed and unhappy over their ac¬tions. When a girl shouted at a policeman in front of aradio station, ‘Are you a Czech or what?’ the officeranswered ‘Your mother would have understood it.’”It would seem that the bread is rising in remarkablysimilar forms in different parts of the world, and I be¬lieve that the future historian of the International Resis¬tance is going to have a hard time deciding which formsof protest were cultural diffusion and which were simul¬taneous invention.The other thing which came in the mail was an ac¬count of an incident in the Dutch Resistance to the Ger-niaii occupation during World War II. I think it’s awfullyinteresting, particularly in view of the kind of discussionthat goes on amongst us these days about an alliancebetween workers and students, about the need to reachblue-collar Wallace voters and so forth. The incident in the Dutch Resistance described in thisdocument was a general strike which took place in thecity of Amsterdam, ,in February 1941, a strike of theentire population of the city directed against the treat¬ment of the Dutch Jews. ‘The document begins with a description of some of theincident? of Nazi brutality which preceded the strike andaroused the populace. When the Nazis took 400 Jews“hostage” because a Dutch collaborator had been mur¬dered, the document says, the people saw “how Jewishboys who had gone shopping were dragged off theirbikes, and were driven to the rallying places with riflebutts, kicks of military boots and whiplashes.” They alsosaw old men kicked downstairs and forced to crawl intowagons as dogs bit at them.The account then describes the beginnings of resis¬tance within the Dutch population, which arose amongclergymen and in the universities, just as with our draftresistance movement during the last year or two.“Individuals and small groups” began to “recognizethe danger,” in the persecution of the Jews, the docu¬ment reports. On July 7, 1940, Dr. J. Aikman, director ofthe Amsterdam Society for Young Men, preached a ser¬mon in which he said, “For everyone who ever read oneword in the Bible, it is clear that God wanted the Jewishrace to be a blessing in the world, just as he made JesusChrist a blessing for us.”This sermon the document reports, “came as a thun¬derclap; it was a direct attack on the new builders ofNaziism.” Dr. Aikman was deported later to Buchen-wald, and died during the war.Another individual act of resistance came when theDutch puppet regime forced all government employeesto sign a declaration saying they were Aryans, not Jews.According to the document:.Lots of people filled in' this declaration because itseemed such an unimportant administrative formality.Even many Jews signed. One of the very few who sawthrough the game and refused was Nico de Graaf, acivil servant for the Department of Social Affairs. Heresigned and told his fellow workers that it was impos¬sible for him as a Christian and as a Dutchman to signsuch a discriminating declaration. The same day onwhich this Aryan paragraph came into force officially,he was deported to a concentration camp . . .When the government announced that all Jews whoheld public positions would be fired, students at Delft,according to the document, “poured to the hall where, sothey thought, Prof. Jitta would give his last lecture.When they found the door closed, a student gave animpassioned speech against the discrimination ... Hewas arrested in the summer of 1941, and died in Buchen-wald in 1942.”Here, then, you see the beginning of a resistancemovement among churchmen and intellectuals, but now other groups in the population begin to come into thestory. As the document describes it:... It is difficult to imagine how bad in 1940 thecontacts between the several population groups stillwere r.. What happened among students hardly pene¬trated into the circles of the laborers. The members ofthe churches in those days were (thought to be) in¬nocent, but a little peculiar.“However, the laborers had their own problems. Themost important problem was even yet in 1940 the unem¬ployment,” the document notes. Because trade and ship¬ping decreased after the war broke out, many men injobs connected with those enterprises had less work. TheDutch government passed a law prohibiting firings, butindustries “were not forced to pay more than 36 hours aweek if there was no more work available, and newworkmen were not engaged. So the Nazis already fromthe beginning had a large labor market, and they cer¬tainly used it.”Although the Dutch authorities tried to prevent it, ac¬cording to the document, “Dutch workmen were sent toGermany,” mostly at “heavy, bodily labor.” By Decem¬ber, 1940, the document reports, 7,000 men from Amster¬dam “had let themselves be crimped for well-paid workin Germany.”“When, during the winter, the train service waschanged, the working day became still longer. Discontentgrew. The laborers resorted to their usual means of pro¬test—they went on strike.” By intervention of the Dutchpuppet government, the Germans were persuaded toraise the salaries, simply by printing more money.Although the workers thought they had won, the docu¬ment goes on, they did not become supporters of thepuppet government. “The communist party in the resis¬tance took care of that.” The communists, which hadorganized this first strike and were the only group withthe apparatus necessary to organize a strike, organized asecond one in January 1941, when the Germans tried toforce laborers to Germany, to work in the shipyards.After this second strike, the compulsion was withdrawn.The laborers again had the feeling they had won.Their self-confidence had returned. If they formed onefront, the enemy would have to give in. Psy¬chologically, they were prepared for the Februarystrike—the general strike of February, 1941, in Amster¬dam.By this time, in general people felt that such a ter¬ror-creating ruler did not deserve of any respect as agovernment. Indignity done to the Jews was felt asindignity done to the Dutch. In the Jews, people feltthemselves affected. Sunday afternoon, two municipallaborers were witness of the bestialities. They decidedto go on bike to all their party members and summonthem to go on strike for 48 hours starting on Tuesday.Continued on Page Two,Continued from Page OneOn Tuesday morning it happened; experienced withstrikes as they were, the organizers had learned thatstopping all public means of transport was the bestway to begin. So the tram was not allowed to ride outand the railways had to stop the services. The formeraction succeeded, the latter action did not. But thisfailure was not serious for the signal of the tram wasenough. Amsterdam knew that it was on stroke as aprotest against the persecution of the Jews.The fact of who organized the strike had long sinceceased to be important. Thousands of Amsterdampeople did not know until the* end of the war that thecommunists had taken the initiative.One industry after another stopped working, and forthe first time in the history of the strike movement,not only the laborers laid down work, but everyonefrom the highest to the lowest ranks ... the engineersas well as the office personnel and the staff. Alsothere, where at first people went to work, work waslaid down soon.By far most directors did not make the least effort tostop their people, and where this did happen like in thetram, it failed completely. The only driver who’d lethimself be persuaded and managed to come throughthe blockade, returned soon afterwards. In the town hewas bawled at with his empty car and even threatenedon the second day of the strike.The Amsterdam police, which already during theTazzias clearly had chosen the Jews’ side, remainedcompletely passive.At a quarter past seven the substitute chief commis¬sioner had learned whst was going on. But not untiltwenty minutes to eleven, he also called the afternoonbrigade, and his orders were certainly not meant tomake the police prevent demonstrations and to dis¬perse assemblies. Even against the tram personnel,which lay down on the rails to prevent the trams fromgoing out, the police did not take action.Now, needless to say, this general strike in Amsterdamin February 1941 did not put an end to the Germanoccupation. But what should interest us, I think, is that itsuggests precisly the same model as the French eventsof May-June, 1968. A model of how a resistance move¬ment, initially beginning among clerics and academics,can then spread to the industrial working class and final¬ly even bring about disaffection in the police to the pointthat the police are unwilling to act. And this, it seems tome, should be the kind of model that we have in mind aswe consider tonight resistance politics or the politics ofresistance.What I mean Dy resistance politics is applying thedraft resistance style to the whole spectrum of politicalproblems, taking all the issues dealt with in a con¬ventional political platform and approaching them in aresistance manner. This is of course hardly a new idea .. . resistance is non-violent direct action. My plea is, in asense, for continued faith in the methods of the southernsit-ins. But note that it is not a plea for imitation of theSouthern Civil Rights movement in all its aspects. And Iwant here to enter briefly into the argument that ourevaluation of non-violence and of non-violent resistancehas been confused, too sweeping and catagorical becauseof our failure to distinguish different elements and differ¬ent stages of the Southern civil rights movement.Broadly speaking, it seems to me, one can speak oftwo stages in the movement in the south between 1960and 1965. The first stage or phase was that of the sit-insand freedom rides, 1960-61, and it is this that I have inmind in speaking of that period as a model. The secondstage, dominant after 1961 and through the Selma marchof February, 1965, was not, it seems to me, resistant non¬violence as the sit-ins had been, so much as it was peti¬tionary non-violence. This was the phase or stage of theSouthern civil rights movement characterized by themarches led by Dr. King.These marches, it seems to me, differed from the ear¬lier sit-ins, differ also from draft resistance today, inthat they were directed not at bringing about socialchange by their own power and their own resources, butwere directed toward desired legislation to be passed byCongress. That is to say, in the characteristic Southerncivil rights march as of Albany, Georgia or Birmingham,or Selma, Alabama, it was not so much that one con¬fronted a police chief Pritchett or police chief Connor ofthe municipal and state governments and attempteddirectly to wrest a desired goal from them. What one didon those southern marches was, as it were, to appealover their heads, to the conscience-stricken northern lib¬erals watching on TV who in turn, it was hoped, wouldbring pressure on Congress to pass laws.This kind of non-violence, this style of non-violence —with all respect to the memory of Dr. King — I amnevertheless classifying tonight as petitionary non-vio¬lence, to be distinguished from resistant non-violence.Petionary non-violence in the sense of a kind of lobbying,an attempt to pressure or persuade the powers-that-be tochange their actions.There was a decision intthe Southern civil rights move¬ment among SNCC workers in 1961 to discontinue directaction in the manner of sit-ins and freedom rides and toturn attention toward voter-registration. My point ofcourse is not that the lunch counter should have re¬mained the indefinite object of Southern Civil Rights ac¬tion but that that style of action which was used in thelunch counter sit-m3 n$igh| hayp. been directed at more2/Tba:Grn\C& Lynd onResistanceStaughton Lynd: “A community of resistance”fundamental social objectives.Instead, what happened was that the decision wasmade to abandon the style of direct action and to moveover to an emphasis on voter registration. We knowsomething now about how that decision was made. Weknow that the Kennedy brothers acting through such CIAconduits as the Taconic Foundation and the Southern Re¬gional Council, provided money which helped to induceSNCC people to make that decision And with that knowl¬edge, it seems to me we can say in retrospect that themovement was at that point in a significant sense co¬opted when it had hardly begun, diverted toward plac¬ing its reliance on the electoral process rather than ondirect resistance.Black power, it seems to me, with proper recognitionfor all the many ways that it differs from the sit-ins of1960 and 1961, was nevertheless a return to the style ofthe sit-ins of 1960-61 in that it represented a relying onone’s own power, one’s own resources, as opposed to anattempt to petition or lobby with the established decisionmakers.I am, then, arguing for resistance politics, for whatmight be termed a fusion of a style of action character¬istic of the Southern civil rights movement in its sit-inphase or of the draft resistance movement, with a so¬phisticated political analysis and multi-issue orientationof an organization like SDS.I’d like to give some examples, since resistance isalways a matter of concrete action. I want to give someexamples of actions we all know about in our immediateexperience which seem to me to begin to exemplify thephenomenon which I am calling resistance politics or thepolitics of resistance.One is the movement presently going on among blackhigh school students. Their objectives of course are verymuch in the context of black power. The demand forAfro-American history taught by Afro-American instruc¬tors and more generally for control of predominatelyblack schools by the black community. But the methodswhich they use are precisely the familiar methods ofnon-violent direct action — the boycott and the sit-in.Now what is particularly striking about the way theyuse those methods, it seems to me, is the sophisticatedand calculated use of these techniques to build a politicalmovement, to organize a community. And thus we re¬member student leader Jim Harvey, in describing theproposed sit-ins to the press, said that the purpose of thesit-ins was going to be to build support for the studentsamong their parents, in the community outside theschools.I can testify that in my own community of SouthShore, despite the fact that the kids left the buildingwhen the police came, and that there wasn’t the kind ofbrutal confrontation calculated to arouse parent sympa¬thies, the effect of the sit-in was precisely what Harveyhad predicted — to begin to build wider base for thataction among concerned parents. Those parents met withthe principal together with the students when the stu¬dents sat in for the second time, then went door-to-doorin the black community of South Shore, building a par¬ents’ base for the student action. This, it seems to me, isan example of resistance politics.A second example of resistance politics is the tacticii; * j,i i'i i c n j ,r.c ^ that Rick Boardman of CADRE intends to take in hisdefense in Boston. His purpose' as he’s begun to developit with his lawyer William Kunstler, is to say to the jury,in his prosecution for non-cooperation with Selective Ser¬vice, that the jury should take on itself a larger functionthan juries customorily do and rule in Rick’s case notonly on matters of fact, but on matters of law.You know the traditional relationship of judge and juryis that the judge defines the legal situation to the juryand says if you find such and such facts to be so — ifyou find that Mr. Boardman did in fact refuse to cooper¬ate with his draft board — then you must convict himbecau. such is the law. The plea of Rick as defendant,with Bill Kunstler as counsel, will be that the jury has abigger job than that, that the jury as Rick’s fellow citi¬zens can’t leave to the judge the task of interpreting lawin this borderline area where the legitimacy of theUnited States Government itself is at stake.There are some interesting precedents for this line ofdefense. There was a case — happily for Rick, who is aQuaker — involving William Penn, in London of the late17th century, when Penn was arrested for street cornerpreaching in violation of the Conventicle Act of Charlesthe Second. The judge instructed the jury that if theyfound that Mr. Penn had indeed been preaching in thestreet they must convict him of riot and sedition. Thejury returned to the courtroom and said that it was truethat Mr. Penn had been preaching in the street. Thejudge said, “Well, then you mean of course that he isalso guilty of riot and sedition.” “No milord, we do notfind him guilty of riot and sedition, we find merely thefact that he preached in the street.”The judge had been so upset at these proceedings thathe had ordered Penn confined to a little walled-in boothin the corner of the courtroom. Penn from time to timewould climb up to the top of the booth and shout over tothe jury, “My fellow citizens, men of England, do notlisten to this man. . .”Quakers were much less sedate in those days. Thejudge sent the jury back time and again to reconsider itsverdict. Finally, he imprisoned the jury for refusing togive a verdict of guilty and a panel of judges on a writof habeus corpus released the jury and established aprecedent for Richard Boardman.Also, there is a famous American case from the firsthalf of the 18th century involving a printer named Zeng-er who printed scurrilous attacks upon the governor ofthe colony of New York. The judge instructed the juryagain that their job was to deal only with the facts andnot with the law. Zenger’s lawyer appealed to the jury toact as that grand jury of Englishmen had acted in thecase of William Penn. Indeed they did, and Zenger wasacquitted.You see where this leads. It uses the courtroom as akind of political arena and seeks to create that kind ofcircumstance whiqh existed in, for example, the Mas¬sachusetts Bay Colony of the 1770s when no revolutionaryAmerican could be convicted of anything by any Ma-sachusetts jury and when therefore the British Crownwas driven to the expedient of taking people to New¬foundland, and various far-off places to try and get aconviction. It’s this kind of political atmosphere, a politi¬cal resistance, a resistance politics, which Rick’s line ofdefense opens up. It does not merely appeal to the Nu-remburg precedent, to this and to that in past statutorylaw — important as that kind of defense is — but goesbeyond that to make a direct political appeal to 12 jury¬men as fellow citizens, to use their own consciences andacquit him.Now lastly, as a third instance of resistance politics itseems to me that the Nov. 14 action at the University ofChicago (a draft card turn-in sponsored by Hyde ParkAnti-Draft Union) is a splendid example of the kind ofthing I’m trying to suggest. In contrast to past draftcard turn-ins in the city of Chicago, which have been atthe Federal Building downtown, and had a certain isola¬tion from the surrounding community, in this ceremonythe act of turning in draft cards becomes a part of achallenge to the legitimacy of the University of Chicago.It says in effect, “Who is the University? Is it thisbunch of hypocrites who talk about Aristotle and ThomasAcquinas and then invite Mayor Daley to their downtowndinner. . when any number of professional associationshave had the guts to move their celebrations elsewhere?Or is the real University this group of students and hope¬fully faculty members in cap and gown who pursuant tothe instructions of the student government, chose thatday to found, inaugurate the University of Chicago as asanctuary for Draft Resisters?” It seems to me that thisa marvelously creative way to use an active resistanceagainst the draft to raise some broader issues as well.Now let me try to generalize about these various in¬stances of resistance politics which we’ve looked at brief¬lyThe first thing that has to be said — and said verystrongly, in view of the characteristic criticism of someof our SDS-oriented friends — is that these are not mereacts of moral witness.

Each is rooted in the other, and the playconsiders both simultaneously. Indeed revolutionarieslike the Living Theatre troupe cannot speak of one with¬out the other.Conventional contemporary structures, both politicaland dramatic, repress individual experience. Episodesthroughout the evening demonstrate vividly aspects ofpolitical and social repression: the opening scene showsthe executions in various modes of those who say no; inthe automation scene mechanical gestures and mediatechniques dissolve any sense of individual response; theeducation of the creature represents the eradication ofindividuality and innocence through words; the frenziedand frightening rhythms of the jail scene evoke the re¬duction of individuals to numbers and records. Yet thefirst and third scenes, and the action as a whole, displaya phoenix quality as the creature is born and lives.In the conventional theatre it is possible to commu¬nicate only behavior. The audience has no window intothe minds and experiences of the characters; we canonly infer experience from their words and actions.The revolutionary has to confront not only the formalobstacles to communicating experience, but the verbalones as well. The only language he has is that of thesystem. Its words have accrued the associations of anexperience he rejects, a repression the language hashelped to create. The Living Theatre meet this problemby using dance, rhythm, chant, shriek, and silence toevoke primary experiences that are non-verbal in es¬sence. When their fluid bodies inhabit the creature’shead they communicate directly the freedom and in¬nocence of his preverbal experience. After the ego hasbeen ‘slashed’ into existence through instruction, thebody vanishes, primitive experience recedes, and theword is bom. With the birth of the word, the creaturediscovers his isolation and confronts death. With lan¬guage, the authorities take over, because language al¬lows them to control his experience. The only audiblewords of the third act are the yesses of the prisoners asthey are led to jail. In this world, ‘yes, is all they need— and all they have.Yet at the end of the play the creature lives. Thisaffirmation results from the creative synthesis of thepolitical and artistic problems. If in some measure thequality of our experience results from our inability tocommunicate, and thus to form a community, the re¬verse is also true. The artistic quandary in part producesthe social, for if we cannot talk to one another, we can¬not expect to have a humane polity. The Living Theatretherefore must confront and cope with the problem ofcommunicating experience if their revolutionary mes¬sage is to be heard. They present the horrors of life incontemporary America, but in the process the commu¬nication, itself a value, suggests the possibility of a valu¬able human experience. The communication in turn ismade possible by the community of the troupe; that is,the social reorganization makes possible the aesthetictransformation. At the end the creature lives. The inter¬locked bodies of the troupe, which form the creature,2xpress the experience of community while the rebirth ofthe body politic from the flames symbolizes that newcommunity.Paradise Now begins as a play and evolves into arevolutionary act. It is their celebrated piece of audienceinvolvement and the climax of the four play series. When1 first heard rumors that the troupe were to come tof hicago I determined, not to prejudice my response tothem by reading critical material. It was impossible,however, not to be aware of the general outlines ofcritical shock waves. I confess that I was at best skeptic¬al about the notion of audience participation. It smackedof a cross between football rallies and embarrassing for¬getfulness of artifice. Moreover, bound as I was to con¬ventional dramatic structures, it seemed to me that thetheatre could only work as theatre when it insisted onthe distance between the players and the spectators.Only then could it animate the theatrical metaphor of theopposition of men, the conflict of wills with a world thatresisted them. Consequently I was embarrassed and un¬comfortable in Mysteries, and suspected ‘plants’ through¬out the audience. This attitude reveals the pervasiveness°f cultural conditioning; the troupe’s ability to alter itreveals that it is not necessary, but merely sufficient tomost experiences of the culture, conventional. Antigonewon my admiration as a kind of drama I could under¬stand. Frankenstein took this admiration further: its as¬sault on the senses refused to be dismissed or ratio-oalized; it embodied a new kind of dramatic experience,while its' expression lent authority to its themes. By thef|uae I Entered Mandel Hall Sunday night, the Livingheatre had effected a conversion. I no longer wanted toe a spectator; I was with them and for them.I go to such length in discussing my own responses3s a whole. The experience of seeing four of their playsbecause I believe the Living Theatre intend their plays David TravisJulian Beck and troupe in Paradise Nowin six nights exhilarated and absorbed me. Just as theirperformance is most effective when least verbal, sotheir influence works almost subconsciously on thespectator.Paradise Now demonstrates that with the world theway it is, we cannot indulge in distinctions between ac¬tors and spectators; the audience can no longer live byproxy. Moreover, after assisting at the first three per¬formances, we no longer want to be spectators. From thefirst whispered plaints to the audience, the company con¬vince us that we are them. We not only witness, weshare their experience.The evening breaks down the actor — audience dis¬tinction in two ways. The audience cannot remainspectators without in so doing opting to act, if negative¬ly. The actors, in their turn, cannot address individualsin the audience directly and intensely without foregoingthe protection of a role. The Living Theatre, in ParadiseNow, transform themselves from players to actors, menwho act. In exhorting us to ‘Be the oppressor in Bolivia,’‘Be the peasant,’ ‘Be the black man in Woodlawn,’ or ‘Bethe police,’ they show us the way to become actorsthrough first playing roles. We can understand our condi¬tion only by adopting a mask; we can change it only bydropping the mask and acting in our own persons. Thusin their schema, each step proceeds from rite to vision torevolution.This radical reevaluation of the theatre insists onceagain that our political condition is inextricably bound upwith our means of communicating with one another. Wecannot communicate without altering external circum¬stances, and until the world is changed we cannot havecommunity in the theatre. This paradox does not inhibitaction; rather it frees us to act. If it does anything,Paradise Now reveals with shattering clarity that weourselves are the primary obstacles to action, and thatonce we realize that, we can act. No moral or naturallaw prevents our getting up out of our seats or out of ourcircumstances and acting. If the troupe can make ussensitive to ourselves and our problems, they .an alsogive us direction to alter our condition.The atmosphere of Paradise Now is revolutionary bothin politics and in psychology, but the specific creed ofthe Living Theatre is anarchism. During one of the ear¬ly, and hence visible, moments on the stage the companyspell the word ‘Anarchism’ and then ‘Paradise Now’ us¬ing their bodies combined to make human block letters.This feat not only showed the beauty and proportion ofauman bodies, it also proclaimed the essential humanityof the philosophy of anarchism. Contrary to what theMayor Daleys of the world tell us, anarchism does notproduce chaos, nor is it in any sense violent or, dis¬orderly. Rather it is the most free and natural form ofContinued on Page Five By David GreneUNLIKE SOME OF THE other performances of TheLiving Theatre, Sunday night’s version of ParadiseNow was fairly elaborately programmed and in a formwhich was at least made partly accessible to the au¬dience. We were provided with an elaborate diagram,with the body of a man and a woman on it, and anumbered series of divisions with corresponding phrasesclear across the sheet. Apparently each section of thebody, roughly, was made to correspond with variousmental states or emotions appropriate, or regarded asinappropriate, good or bad. Thus “peace”, “en¬thusiasm , “contemplation”, etc. and of course “rigid¬ity”, “hostility” and so on. In the centre of the sheetwere triadically marked divisions which represented, asI understood it, the key to most of what was done on thestage. Thus “The Rite of the Mysterious Voyage” is real¬ly the title of the act which is informed by the “Vision ofthe Integration of the Races” and the comments, mademostly in the body of the audience, but by members ofthe company concerned, deal with “Paris: Time future:the non-violent anarchist revolution”. In nearly all thesecentral divisions you find the same arrangement — atitle for an act, a description of what the act is con¬cerned with at the present time, and finally comments,off, on some relevant, favorably or unfavorably re¬garded, political or social situation exemplifying whatthe “vision” of the central section is acting out, artistic¬ally. The planning of this was quite ingenious and wellexecuted. The comments to the audience, for instance,had a genuine air of spontaneity though actually therewas not a single “intervention” from the floor that I wascertain was unprofessional. But if one purpose of TheLiving Theatre is to “involve” the audience by creatingan indefinite air of uneasy alertness, where everyonefeels that anything may happen — the opposite of theaccepted convention of the theatre which guarantees atsome level of our consciousness that what we are seeingis a plan and an entertainment — the company suc¬ceeded. What is very sad to record is that when theattention and involvement of the audience had been se¬cured, when in fact the show should get on the road — toput it bluntly — there is nothing there. What is missingin this performance of The Living Theatre is neithertechnique (for their own purpose at least) nor audacity;what is missing is brains. They have no ideas that areworth the name.As I took it, the preparatory comments passed roundthe crowd as the performance opened, and continuedthroughout at suitable intervals, were purposely unhist-rionic and virtually ritualistic. We were told “I am notallowed to travel without a passport”, “I am not allowedto smoke marijuana” and the final outrage “I am notallowed to take off my clothes” — which was followedafter a short interval by a sort of striptease act, with,however, suitably “modest” remnants still on the bodiesof the performers. All these sentences were urged in aspecial monotone, the actors, if one may call them thatfor the sake of convenience, making their adjurations tous with evidently simulated agony. (They picked those ofus that sat nearest the outside of the aisles for theirconfidences.) These sentences were supposed to set thescene in which modem life is lived; the tones, I imagine,were so arranged to convey the conditioning mechanicalquality of the inhibiting sanctions of the society. Thus theidea was that in the audience you tried to create a crosssection of a modern urban society in the process oflearning of their desperate plight and, presumably, inthe process of learning of a vision of a new and betterone. This new and better one was to reach us throughthe appeal to our eyes, ears, sense of rhythm, by designson the stage, and by an appeal to our minds in certainshort speeches given by various actors on different top¬ics related to the main one that was at that momentoccupying us. But the “acts” which are mostly dances ofa sort are very poor and communicate exceedingly little.They have an unfortunate bowing acquaintance with bal¬let while trying in the main to achieve an effect some¬thing like Martha Graham — in which they signally fail.Both in the formalized presentations of group dancingand in the oral part of the show, the company has triedto provide for the casual and occasional. The unorga¬nized movement, the sporadic uninvolved or caustic com¬ment are stitched in. But they are not enough forma¬lized, to present the informality that is desired. You donot represent boringness on the stage by making a cha-acter really boring; you find something for him to do orsay that puts the meaning of his boringness in a specialcontext. In this performance you do not show the ele¬ment of the uninvolved or hostile in relation to yourtheme by making someone yell obscenities at the rightmoment of the speech. You must find some way to makeit part of the show, so that your audience at once expectsit and is shocked in a manageable degree without losingtouch with what you are saying or doing.The speeches were pitifully crude and stupid. Themost of them are pastiches of millenarian slogans.

By spelling the word ‘anarchism’with people, the Living Theatre achieved a quiet state¬ment which would have pleased anarchist philosophersBenjamin Tucker, Emma Goldman or Peter Kropotkin.Indeed Paradise Now sparks a peaceable anarchisticassociation among 1500 people which supports its pro¬ponents’ theme. If the audience needed education in thetroupe’s methods and manners, that is hardly surprising,for we are used to neither form nor content. JulianBeck’s harangue of the audience was gentler and carriedless malice than than harangues the audience directedagainst each other. The company said over and overagain that they had passion but not hatred. They reservetheir hatred for systems and patterns, not individuals.When inspired members of the audience began on occa¬sion to taunt overweight ladies with teased hair and theirbored and frightened husbands, the troupe interceded orinterrupted to remind us that real people hide underteased hair and beneath fear and boredom, and they areto be understood and helped. They also reminded us thatit is cheap to attack the victims who do not know theyare victims. Again and again by switching roles andpostures, the Living Theatre drove us toward empathy.With an audience like Sunday night’s, the LivingTheatre faced a special challenge. The UC audiencetends to believe it is a special case; we congratulateourselves on our ‘radicalism’ and never have to examineour views — or to act. The troupe came close to hitting adeeply embedded nerve in the community when someonebrought up the murder of UC student Roy Guttman, whowas killed last spring. Had they known enough about usto probe at this point, they could have taught us a gooddeal about our own feelings of fear and racism. Whoevermurdered Roy only pulled the trigger. We however con¬tinue to be part of this university which long ago begana series of brutal policies toward the community forwhich we are on occasion held accountable. So long aswe let these decisions continue to be made we must beara share of the guilt.CultureTHE CULTURE VULTURE, after recuperating fromthe Living Theater (he was sitting in the rafters) ishobbling out of his nest to visit the following:Marxians arise!!

Theater Lives Once MoreDavid TravisJulian Beck deep in thoughtUltimately the Living Theatre demand to be judgedby their effect, not by their performance, though theformer will depend in part on the latter. The responsi¬bility is now ours. If we dismiss their plays as weirdevenings in the theatre, the company failed. But morethan they, we fail: they have created a community andare working to communicate their joy in it.Vulture1 : ■ *University Theater is presenting Jean Genet’s provoca¬tive play of whores and revolution. The Balcony-Set in a Greene Continued from Page Threeis the good of being told that we want a society free ofmoney, of class, of war, of violence, of hunger, of dis¬ease—if that is the sum total of your message? If all thatyou can add to it is grossly distorted telegraphic style“messages” again on everything from the policy of theuniversities with regard to chemical companies, toUnited Fruit’s conduct, to the Israelis, to the state ofNew York? Aristophanes, with a view of politics nearlyas simplistic as that of The Living Theatre, wrote aboutcurrent events for the stage, and developed a theatricalperformance which was very far from an integrated his¬trionic whole. But his strength lay in the enormous pow¬er of his virulent coarse humor, his concomitant gift oflyricism, and the strangely moving quality of his gro¬tesque caricatures. Everything like this is missing in TheLiving Theatre. They have no ability to put across theirpoint of view by means of an artistic object ’which willconvey to us what they feel. They have no ability to tellus directly, in any moving fashion, what they see that iswrong and right in the world. While they sometimes ef¬fectively have presented the cliches of their enemies,they have nothing but cliches to urge on their own side.The only genuine motion which came across the foot-light, — and that but once last night — was hatred. Eventhe hatred was so distorted, so inarticulate as to be in¬effective as the expression of human life lived at anordinarily complicated level.Somehow what is wrong with this Living Theatre issummed up in their use of obscenity. When Lawrencefought his battle for the four letter words in Lady Chat-terly’s Lover, when he insisted that they had a specialmagnetic quality which demanded that they be used infiction in the proper situation, he was perfectly right.And those playwrights who have insisted on the need touse them on the stage are perfectly right. The wordsdespite overuse and abuse (i.e. meaningless use) are stillmagnetic. On Sunday night they never occur in themouths of the actors except as insults or quite sense¬lessly. The cast seems quite incapable of extending theexpression or concept of sexuality beyond the possibilityof shocking the audience — which by now is not easilyshocked. And this from a company one of whose maintenets appears to be that warmth and love are the curefor all human ills!David TravisTHE BALCONY: Barney Spector and Steve Chat'/sky rehearse Genet’s playbrothel, it stars Barbara X.

A person acts alone in the hopeof creating a political movement behind him. but with nopossible certainty that the movement will in fact occur.There is a further problem thaf some of these actionsat least require us to consider, having to do with dis¬ruption. The characteristic form of resistant acton n thelast year or two has gone beyond a simple withdrawal ofan individual from an institution or a policy that op¬presses him and has sought to stop that thing. Individ¬uals have put their bodies in the way, have lain in frontof the troop train, so to speak, or physically preventedthe Dow recruiter from getting to the interviewing room,or occupied the administration building at Columbia Uni¬versity.I think we need a political philosophy to understandthis kind of action and to relate it. with all the care andprecision of which we are capable, to the personal actsof resistance which I’ve just been discussing. Both, inmy opinion, qualify as political resistance, yet their rela¬tionships one to another, and to the broader democraticphilosophy, need to be very precisely explored.I am an unequivocal supporter of disruption as a legiti¬mate form of resistance politics and I give you the kindof instance in which I have several times been involvedas a University teacher. When, for example. I was re¬fused a job at Roosevelt University, last spring, — afterthe history department recommended it and the adminis¬tration turned it down—the only way that job could havebeen gotten for me would have been if the students andteachers there had had the power to stop the functioningof the university until that grievance was dealt with.This kind of disruption, it seems to me, is no differentfrom a labor stroke. What is it a union does when asingle man is fired off his benchrfor union activity? Thewhole shop goes out and stops that factory from workinguntil that grievance has been adjusted. It seems to methat the characteristic disruption in the universities inrecent years has been precisely of that kind. The bestdefense of it is to compare it to a labor strike and to saythat the students are here doing no more than what hasbeen legitimized by the working man..Nevertheless, if this is a model with which we compareour disruption, a strike still remains an essentially non¬violent action. In keeping with my earlier plea for non¬violent direct action as a still-legitimate model for thekind of resistance politics we should be unto. I want nowto distinguish non-violent disruption from certain kinds ofviolent disruption and make a plea for the importance ofthe non-violent method.According to the conventional wisdom the only kind oflegitimate civil disobedience is the kind which Justiceh ortas. in his recent book, ascribes to Dr. King. This isthat civil disobedience which breaks a particular munici¬pal ordinance or state law in order to appeal it to theSupreme Court by creating a constitutional test case.This alone, according to Mr. Fortas. is legitimate civildisobedience.But as Howard Zinn points out in his just publishedciitique of Justice Fortas' book. Disobedience and De¬mocracy. this narrowly understood definition of legiti¬mate disobedience is totally inapplicable to most of thesituations life has confronted us with as a movement.* for example, the situation of the draft resister,ake David Mitchell’s situation as he stubbornly pursuedthe United States government attempting to force it toindict him for draft refusal. David was not appealingrom ordinance of Birmingham, Alabama or the lawo the Alabama State Legislature to the Supreme Court.0 ’le United States Constitution. He was appealing theatts ^e highest constituted authorities of the land to arut her nebulous international taw which the Supreme0Urt is notoriously unwilling to enforce. The idea of•n ueing the United States Supreme Court to declare the■etnamese war unconstitutional while that war is inPiocess is a quixotic idea indeed. The draft resister,j' u‘e in his defense he may try to raise these Nurem-111 g issues as Bob Freeston for example is doing, there-thf t5 t0 recoSn*ze Uiat he is unlikely to succeed, but1 ahead and resist nonetheless,d nf* Case *n whmh the narrow definition of civilf IS>^3en^1Which Justice Fortas proposes fails, againunmia<! *° ns in our own experience, is that of a labor'|iunction„ .What do you do if you're a Concerned Transiturker in Chicago and you've gone out on strike andS0|re Judge, who metaphorically speaking is Mayor Da- onResistanceTivo of LOs draft resisters atthe TSov 14 resistance ceremonyRob Skeist and John WelchNancy Cheser Nancy Chaserley's brother-in-law. tells you that your strike is illegaland you have to go back to work. According to JusticeFortas" dictum what you do is take the case into court,and hope for some court ruling two. three, six. ninemonths hence that will permit you to continue yourstrike. By then of course the strike is dead.What do you do if you’re attempting to march to theamphitheater to meet the Democratic Convention and ajudge, who is Mayor Daley's former law partner, lessthan a week before the contemplated march rules thatthat march is not legal, or more strictly that the city ofChicago acted legally in refusing the permit for themarch. It is impossible in such a situation to take thecase into the courts with any hope of justice—the whoiepoint of an injunction, the whole point of denying a per¬mit is to make the action impossible until the momentwhen the action can happen has gone by. You've got. inthat kind of circumstance simply to resist, to disrupt, togo ahead with your action whatever the courts say.Thirdly, as Zinn points out. the kind of action thatwe've seen in resistance to Dow recruiters or in theoccupation of buildings at Columbia, is the kind of actionwhich comes as resistance develops a more sophisticatedanalysis and begins to choose more fundamental socialtargets. If your concern is a single law. a particularadministrative decision, it may be possible to challengethat directly through the courts. But if what you're chal¬lenging is something so fundamental as an imperialistforeign policy, something so deep-seated as institutionalracism, then what you may have to do. so to speak, isdisrupt traffic — in order to make your point about Dow:break one law in order to stop the execution of another,try to bring the whole of an institution to a grinding haltso that one of its policies can be counteracted.But I am not satisfied with the justification of dis¬ruptive civil disobedience which Zinn advances. There isa doctrine concerning the First Amendment, concerningrepression as practiced by us against our opponents,which I believe we ought to object to.Many of you have read Marcuse's Critique of PureTolerance. I believe that the argument there made aboutcivil liberties is brilliant, perceptive and profoundly dan¬gerous. Marcuse says that we as persons believing our¬selves in the right, are justified not only in suppressingthe actions of our opponents, but in suppressing theirspeech, their thought, which might lead to those actionsbecause in a modern society, speech and action are soclosely connected. Marcuse takes Justice Holmes' dictumthat it's justified to suppress the man crying fire in acrowded theater, and says that the whole of modernsociety is permanently in the situation of a theater indanger of fire because of the nuclear bomb apd othermodern realities and therefore for an indefinite period,not just in a single situation, but for a whole period ofrevolutionary transition we are justified in taking awayfrom our opponents those rights which we ask for our¬selves.Howard Zinn has a somewhat less ambitious but. Ithink, still not satisfactory doctrine. He says, we shouldpermit the utmost freedom of speech for our opponents,but when it comes to action, in effect, we should insist onour right to translate speech into action through dis¬ruptive civil disobedience and other ways but suppress itin our opponents.My difficulty with this approach is that it seems to meonly justified, if justified at all. in a moment of revolu¬tionary crisis. That is. there is an argument, which saysin effect, that it's now a time to choose sides: there areno more procedures which apply to all sides equally, weare right and they are wrong, we will fight it out. we willappeal to heaven as Locke said, and he who has themost power will be victorious. The pragmatic difficulty with that position,4 apart from the moral difficulties in¬volved, is that, given the existing alignment of forces, ifwe stand by that political philosophy we have less pow¬er, and it is we who will be crushed.We have to find a way, on the one hand not to holdback from disruptive civil disobedience, not to hold backfrom actions such as those taken in Baltimore, Catons-ville and Milwaukee, but in some sense to preserve aspirit of reciprocity which allows the same acts to ouropponents. We do this, I think, if we continue to actourselves in a spirit of non-violence and ask that samespirit from those who oppose us, if we say in effect, ‘‘Wedisrupt your classes today without injury to you as aperson, and you have the right to disrupt our classestomorrow.”In doing so, even though we move beyond the customa¬ry political forms of the courts and the electoral process,we preserve something of a democratic spirit, in whichthose institutions were meant to function. We maintain ademocratic dialogue, and attempt persuasion betweenourselves and our antagonists even if that dialoguetakes the form of action rather than words.Something now. similarly, on the question of jail-going.There has been persistent criticism of the resister whopermits himself to be put in jail. It has been said, “if hiscritique of this society is so fundamental, if he goesbeyond a particular policy or a particular law. if ne saysnot only is it the laws that are wrong, but the courtsthemselves do not mete out justice, why then does hepermit himself to be arrested and put away for years injail? If a man has reached that point where he's ready toburn Selective Service files, why does he let himself beimprisoned?”I think the answer to this question, if there is an an¬swer. is that, for example, the Milwaukee 14. in takingthe Selective Service files secretly, by that I mean with¬out any advance notice, but then carrying them to apublic place, burning them, and waiting to be arrested,were not submitting to jail because of some narrow le¬galistic criteria of Justice Fortas. Nor were they sub¬mitting to jail because they were still operating withinthe constitutional system and had to accept the punish¬ment their act entailed. They were submitting to jailbecause by doing so they forced society to confront themas particular human beings. Had they simply blown upthe draft board in the night and disappeared as facelessconspirators an important dimension of their actionwould have been missing — the dimension which isadded by the fact that we know their names, we knowtheir professions, we know the man who has three chil¬dren. we know the mathemetician whose wife is a danc¬er. we have more sense of the humanness of what theydid.In going to jail, just as in restraining disruptive civildisobedience^ within the limits of non-violence, we keepalive the quality of encounter and confrontation betweenpersons which is the essence of what democracy means.This kind of resistance action which seeks to keep dia¬logue alive is political because it reaches out to otherpeople in the attempt to persuade them.I'm going to wind up by saying something about theMilwaukee Fourteen, because I think this is that actionof political resistance, of all those single actions of politi¬cal resistance of which we're aware, which challenges usthe most.First of all. it's clear that these men were acting withan overall analysis and a political perspective broaderthan the issue of the draft and to the war. The defensethey make of the destruction of property can only beunderstood in this way. From their point of view theymight just as well have burned the records of the UnitedFruit Company, they might just as well have blown upthe streamers of the Grace Line, because from theirpoint of view the exploitation, the capitalist exploitationof poor people in Latin America is just as much the evilthey're fighting as the Vietnam war. It’s interesting thatthe SDS march on election eve from Lincoln Park to theConrad Hilton, pointing out the various corporation head¬quarters in Chicago en route, was in fact modeled on themarch which took place in Baltimore during the defenseof the Catonsville Nine, in which 4.000 people proceededthrough the city of Baltimore with a gentleman leadingthe march who would say as they passed a given bank orcorporation. “On your right is a such-and-such, a com¬pany well known to us all for its manufacture of such-and-such a weapon for Vietnam, its infamous ex¬ploitation of the Guatemalan peasants.” etc.This action of the Baltimore and Catonsville and Mil¬waukee groups, then, is a political action. It is an actionwhich takes into account the analysis that the Vietnamwar is not an accident but a product of imperialism andimperialism is not an accident but a product of capital¬ism. which the movement has painfully developed overthe last few years.Nevertheless, these men and women are going to jailand confronting us with their human selves. I want justto suggest something of what many of you have alreadylearned of the human quality of this action. For examplethe letter of Larry Rosebaugh. one of the Milwaukeegroup from the Milwaukee count jail annex:Now the external action is accomplished. We aregathered now in a room sleeping the fourteen of us.separated from the other inmates. In this room iswhere the action lies. Never before have I experiencedthe lives of individual men so personally, so deeply.

Holding the parchment isRenee Schwartz of CADRE.Continued from Page Sevenin such a short span of time. Maybe the reason is:Never before in the life of each of us, have we made adecision that would effect our lives, as this decision.Never before have we had to weigh so carefully everymotive upon which we lived and breathed, before re¬sponding as we did.As you know, both in the Catonsville case, and in theMilwaukee case, the first thing that each group did whenit was imprisoned, facing this possible 40 or 50 years injail if convicted on all counts, was to send flowers andcandy to the cleaning women from whom they’d takenthe keys at the draft boards, with an apology for havingfrightened or offended them in any way by their act.Larry Rosebaugh goes on even to apologize to us, that is,to us on the outside, to us who now have to deal with hisaction, for any discomfort he may be causing us.What a beautiful combination of men make up ourcadre. But even as I write these words, I feel (within)many may not be able to share my joy because ouraction (for them) conflicts with their internal values,their external approach. I do appreciate and accept thestruggle such a confrontation as we provoked willcause any of you. I join all of you in your honestendeavor to search for truth in your lives. I ask you tojoin us as we continue to consciously swim in muddywaters finding our way.One of the remarkable things about every statement Ihave seen from the Catonsville and the Milwaukeegroups, and from personal conversations with a few ofthem, is that we who take action such as risking a fewdays in prison for disorderly conduct come on with im¬mense self-righteousness as to why this political tactic isjustified rather than that one. These people, who aregoing to jail realistically speaking for something on theorder of ten years apiece, say of their actions, “Wethought perhaps it would be a fruitful first step. Itseemed to us a good thing to do, but some other actionmay be the right one for you.”I was struck too by a poem written by a member ofthe Milwaukee group, a mathemetician, Doug Marvy,who prefaces his poem with the statement, “I’m not apoet, but what has taken place in the Milwaukee Countyjail Annex since Wednesday, September 25, defies thelogic of my more usual methods of communicating.”Therefore he abandons algebraic equations, and gives us“Fourteen Free Men.”FOURTEEN FREE MENWe have been nourished without food'Cried out of joyAnd read in the darkness.We are free.We have held conversations in silence,Lost self by asserting ourselvesAnd lost fear by finding it.We are free.We are beginning to know what’s unknown,Share what’s unsharableAnd watch what cannot be seen.We are free, we are free.Above all, and most personally, beyond all questions ofstrategy and analysis, what these actors in Baltimore,Catonsville and Milwaukee have to communicate to us iswhat they call ‘resistance community.’ Not all of us arestrong enough to do the things which resistance requires.AH' of us are too weak, have too many family responsi¬bilities, have this personal flaw or that external obliga¬tion and therefore these men and women say to us, con¬fronting the reality of our weakness, we must not with¬draw from the kind of action that the times demand, butinstead, reach out to one another for help.An ApologyWe would like to apologize for the reversal ofby-lines between the two reviews of the LivingTheater which appeared in last Friday’s GreyCity Journal. Farinda West’s was attributed to TomBusch and Tom Busch’s to Farinda West.ContributorsDavid Bevington is a Professor in the Departmentof EnglishDavid Grene is a Professor in the Committee onSocial ThoughtFarinda West is an Assistant Professor of Englishand College Humanities-v* >- :; - rui.-mn They call this ‘resistance community’ and they havedemonstrated that resistance community can include notonly single people, not only students like yourselves, butalso people over 30, family men with children, persons inevery stage of life can take exactly the same kind of riskand have exactly the same kind of demands made onthem if they have the support of a resistance commu¬nity. This is very important not only to me but to you,because you, too, will one day be over 30 and unless youat that stage in life are able to continue acting with theradicalness with which you act now, then we as a move¬ment are lost. Young people alone cannot transformAmerica and resistance community helps us to find thestrength at all stages of life, to do better the things wemust do.I conclude as the Milwaukee group concludes, with aninvitation to do whatever is necessary in our lives tobecome a part of such a community and capable of suchactions.Play of Herod VicBy David BevingtonI’M WRITING this review because The Grey CityJournal neglected to send a reviewer to either perform¬ance. I think that this occasional overlooking of localtheatrical activity, even if due to a mixup is unjust, andI hope the Journal will allow me to say so in its columns.The performance itself was a remarkably movingreenactment of a late twelfth-century liturgical play, aNativity play not unlike that we see children performtoday. The difference is that this Nativity play was livingtheatre for its time, a threatre of total involvement forthe audience (or congregation) as well as the actors.It was a church drama, sponsored by the ecclesias¬tical establishment, costly in production, elaborate incostuming, splendid in its use of the church as a flexiblearena for dramatic presentation. Snug in Latin, it wasalso an early form of opera.Henry Beale’s production caught the touching sim¬plicity of faith and panoramic vastness of the original.The story includes not only the angelic appearance to theshepherds, but the visit of the Magi, their encounter withHerod, and their realization that they should not returnto Herod with the news of Christ’s whereabouts.The story, in other words, has many separate scenesto it, and requires several groups of actors. Beale’s pro¬duction properly dispensed with scene-shifts, and reliedinstead on simultaneous staging in which the variouslocales of the story were all visible at once.From beginning to end, one saw the throne of Herodside by side with the rude manger of Bethlehem. Actorsmade their way back and forth between these locales, orentered among the audience from the rear of the church.The set thus preserved a visually sustained irony, forone saw the throne of Herod constantly set off againstthe rude manger of Christ. We have no illusions regarding the consequences ofour action. To make visible another community of re¬sistance and to better explain our action, we have cho¬sen to act publicly and to accept the consequences. Butwe pay the price, if not gladly, at least with a profoundhope. Just as our own hearts have spoken to us, just aswe — not long ago strangers to one another — havebeen welded into community and delivered into resis¬tance, so do we see the same spirit of hope and cour¬age, the same freedom pouring into others; joy sur¬prisingly is made possible only in the laying aside ofplans for a comfortable, private future.Our action is not an end in itself. We invite thosewho are ready to lay aside fear and economic addic¬tion in order to join in the struggle: to confront in¬justice in v/ords and deeds, to build a community wor¬thy of men made in the image and likeness of Goda society in which it is easier for men to be humanOne locale represented the world in all its vainglory,one the hope of everlasting redemption. The latterseemed powerless and at the mercy of brute force. ButHerod was in the end the comic bjtt, the guiler beguiledThe best singers, on balance, were the three Magi(David Lindenfeld, David Nelson, and Robert Swam.Well deserving of praise also were the two midwives(Susan Beale and Mary Beth Jorgensen), and the cho¬ruses of angels and shepherds. Henry Beale, as Herod,gave an animated dramatic rendition of Herod's frenzy.Margaret Grant’s blocking as a whole was simple, con¬ventionalized, and yet wholly convincing. The pacing wasgood, and the diction was laudably clear.The production was in several ways derivative fromthat of the New York Pro Musica; this sort of in¬debtedness is understandable. The use of interpolatedmedieval music, and of the cresch that opens to reveal amotionless Mary and child, are instances. However de¬pendent upon the Pro Musica, in any case, this produc¬tion was musically honest and moving.Especially gorgeous (another Pro Musica touch) wasthe finale, in which the whole cast went in processionaround the church with candles, singing the Te DeumLaudamus, accompanied by a portable set of bells.What the production revealed to me is that medievaldrama is still underrated or unknown by some. It issure-fire as theatre, overwhelmingly touching in its sim¬plicity and yet richness.The Renaissance Players are coming forward soon(January 24-26) with the twelfth-century Anglo-Frenchplay Adam, and the Tudor farce by John Heywood of the4 P’s. I hope that Grey City’s reviewer will be in theaudience.Quite possibly, the Herod performance will be givenagain next year. I hope so.Five Film NightsBy T. C. FoxMovies may not be better than ever on campus butthere are certainly more of them. Five series will beshown in campus, four by the long-established Doc filmgroup and one by the newer Contemporary EuropeanFilms.The most important series is on Tuesday nights whenthe (‘good?) Doctor will screen a representative sam¬pling of the works of Otto Preminger. Preminger is amoral artist who is almost completely discursive, lettinghis characters act out their lives according to their mor¬al codes and leaving the judgement to the audience. Heis one of the greatest artists of the cinema. Of specialinterest are the 1940’s films being screened February 4and 22, which present a kind of darkness that has van¬ished from Hollywood along with black and white film¬ing.On Wednesday nights there is a very mixed bag ofcomedians (W.C. Fields, Chaplin, The Marx Brothers)all doing their thing, whether poorly or well directed. Ofspecial interest is Lee McCarey’s Duck Soup (Jan 22)and Buster Keaton doing battle in Battling Butler (Feb19).Thursdays bring the first Doc film series in a long"MJi nonoiTjrt-jo :.r ... • on UC Campustime that doesn’t seem to have a bad film on it. Titled“Seven Movies” it is the work of seven of the mostimportant and neglected American directors and screen¬writers ever assembled. Included is early work by Rob¬ert Aldrich, Don Siegel, and Abraham Polonsky all ofwhom have had much heralded work in the public eye atthe moment. Also included is the only film CharlesLaughton directed. The Night of the Hunter, whosescreenplay is by the great American writer James Agee.Friday nights Doc dips into the commercial bag withcolor movies all of which have been around a lot andmost of which are of some interest (although they are allClark favorites). Among them are Demy's Umbrella <>!Cherbourg and Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie.Contemporary European films operate only on week-. ends. The only intelligence I can view in this seriescommercialism, all of the movies being block-busters ofone sort or another. Even so, five of their movies workTruffaut’s Shoot the Piano Player and Jules et Jhn.Brunuel’s Exquisite Exterminating Angel, Zeffirelk sTaming of the Shrew (Kiss Me, Kate ds George amMartha,) and Peter Brook’s Lord of the Flies. Hope t EFgets copy prints since the cutdown versions that 16 mil¬limeter distributors like to give out will, at least in theTruffaut, be unintelligible, not to say ugly
