As early as 1889,negotiations between a number of promi¬nent Baptists and men like John D. Rock¬efeller and Marshall Field resulted in theincorporation of the University of Chicagoand the inauguration of its first president,William Rainey Harper, in 1891.Harper, a professor of Hebrew at Yalewho had earned his Ph.D. there at 18, in¬sisted that the infant Chicago be envisionedas a full fledged major university with afaculty and facilities adequate not only forundergraduate teaching but for the pursuitof advanced studies and research. It wouldbe a precarious financial venture, but Har¬per, at 34 on his way to becoming one of themost extraordinary figures in Americaneducation, was filled with the energy andimagination to make it a success.He assembled a brilliant faculty of for¬mer college presidents and professors sto¬len away from the best universities in thecountry, under the promise of salaries fan¬tastic for the time: $7000 a year for fullprofessors. Rockefeller, who had made anoriginal contribution of $600,000 was per¬suaded to cover immense deficits everyyear.Now fully in charge, Harper proceeded tomold Chicago into a dynamic university.Aside from its status as a graduate in¬stitution, the University was to contain jun¬ior and senior colleges, open its doors towomen students and faculty on an equalbasis with men, participate in a world-widesystem of exchange professorships, offerextension and correspondence work, andencourage sports only for the sake of theirparticipants and “not for the spectacularentertainment of enormous crowds ofpeople.” He scrapped the old September-to-June calendar, replacing it with the first ROBERT MAYNARD HUTCHINSFormer UC Chancelloryear-round, four-quarter calendar, which isstill in effect and permits a more flexibleeducation and a wider curriculum.But “Harper’s Bazaar,” as one jokesterhad called it, worked. A better character¬ization would have been “Instant IvyLeague.” Such was the arrogant pomposityin early days that a large percentage of itsmen and women regularly wore the capand gown to class. Harper died in 1906 andit wasn’t until 1929 that Chicago was tohave another president as remarkable ashe.The new president (later called chan¬cellor) was another Yalie “boy wonder,”Robert Maynard Hutchins, at 28 dean ofYale’s Law School. Believing that “everystudent should obtain a liberal educationbefore being permitted to a specialize” andenvisioning the College as providing ter¬minal school experience for many of its graduates, he transformed it into one of thegreat pioneers of “general education.” Thephilosophy behind its structure was to pro¬vide a broad curriculum that would pre¬pare young men and women for their roleas educated citizens. To accomplish hisaim, Hutchins created a single college withits own faculty and the four graduate divi¬sions that still exist today, separate staffsand syllabi for each College course, volun¬tary class attendance, and requirementsthat allowed students to enter early andgraduate in two years if they showed com¬petence in a series of comprehensive exam¬inations. Doing Harper one better, he with¬drew Chicago from the Big Ten and thenabolished football entirely.But by 1950 the Hutchins B.A. programfound itself in trouble since graduateschools could not look upon the degree asrepresenting more than two year’s work. Students who had spent three or four yearsat Chicago were not being given credit fortheir extra time. Calling the Hutchins pro¬gram “The finest system of general educa¬tion that the U.S. has ever seen,” Chicago’snext chancellor discounted it because it didnot relate to the “total American education¬al process.”Over the next several years, men likePresident Edward H. Levi and past dean ofthe college Wayne C. Booth evolved ascheme that would provide close in¬tegration between general and specializededucation at Chicago. While the univer¬sity’s graduate divisions and its profes¬sional schools remained unaffected, theCollege was further divided into five col¬legiate divisions, each with its own masterand set of requirements.Reprinted with the permission of Barrens EducationalServices©Ask AboutOurDaily Special•>*c* <• •> <•MENUSIRLOIN STRIP STEAK with potatoes. onion rings,green salad, rolls and butter $4.00STEAK SANDWICH with french fried potatoes andvegetable garnish $2.50FRENCH FRIED SHRIMP with french fried potatoes,green salad, rolls and butter $2 50FRIED CHICKEN with french fried potatoes, greensalad, rolls and butter $2.50HAMBURGER with french fried potatoes,vegetable garnishBRATWURST SANDWICH on white, rye orblack bread with french friesTURKEY SANDWICH $1.00.90$1.10 fy v X©0*©IIKTyou can hear yourself think . . . and if you don'twant to think, there's good boose.Bass ale and Schlitx beer on tapTHE EAGLECORNED BEEF SANDWICH $1.10ROASTBEEF SANDWICH $1.10EAGLE SANDWICH, roastbeef, turkey,swiss & american cheese on black bread $1.70GREEN SALAD _ .50FRENCH FRIED POTATOES .50FRENCH FRIED ONION RINGS .50CHEESECAKE 60i attb GUupa■$1.505311 BLACKSTONE BANQUET ROOM HY 3-1933.2/.Th® .Qhif^gq .tyarqon/.SeptemberFRESHMEN: New students sweet out placement tests.Campus WelcomesAmong the various welcomes freshmenhave received here in the past two dayshave been messages from administratorsand faculty alike.The following are two messages. Onefrom Charles O’Connell, dean of students,and Michael Barnett, president of StudentGovernment. O’Connell said:Welcome!You have chosen — wisely, in my opinion— to attend a college set in a University.Such a choice has marked advantages. Oneresult of your choice, and it may prove anadvantage or a disadvantage to you in-divdually, is that you have committed your¬self to securing an education within a com¬plex institution and a sometimes bewilder¬ing community. Chicago’s is not a collegeset in rural simplicity. The purposes andstructure of the University are not simplythose of a liberal arts college and may attimes even seem to be in some tension withthe traditional purposes and organization ofsuch a college. But this very tension, some¬times irritating, has been found immenselystimulating by most students. I hope it willbe so for you.The deans of students and their staffs arehere to help you to take advantage of themany resources of the College and of the University. I hope that you will draw on us,and I hope that I shall have the opportunityto meet many of you personally during thecoming months.You have my warmest best wishes forsuccess and my additional wish that youwill come to feel pride and affection for theUniversity you have chosen as your own.Barnett said:While the problems and tensions of lastyear were not new and last year was notthe first time they had been expressed andacted out, it was the first time that eventson campus after campus seemed to moveinexorably toward confrontations betweenstudents and those who control the univer¬sities. The University of Chicago was noexception. 500 students took over the ad¬ministration building and it was held fortwo weeks. In the aftermath 42 studentswere expelled (more than at Columbia,Berkeley and San Francisco State com¬bined) and more were suspended.On Sunday night, Sept. 21 (7:30 pm) Stu¬dent Government will sponsor a programfor freshmen in Quantrell Auditorium inwhich the actions and issues of the sit-inwill be described and in which the prob¬lems and issues of the coming year will bediscussed. The 504 freshmen of the class of ’73 rep¬resent the smallest class to enter the Uni¬versity since 1959.The 30 percent reduction in class size was“taken as part of a broad program to im¬prove the quality of teaching and studentlife in the College,” former dean of the Col¬lege Wayne Booth announced last ApnlThough smaller, the class of 301 men and203 women maintains the 60:40 ratio ofmales to females similar to the 734-memberClass of ’72.A majority of the freshmen ranked in thetop 10 per cent of their high school class,and SAT averages are “comparable tothose of last year,” said Director of Admis¬sions Anthony T. G. Pallett. Pallett did notgive exact figures because he said fresh¬men with lower SAT scores complained.National Merit Scholar statistics arepresently unavailable, Pallett said.Fourteen percent of the class, 40 of 95students accepted to the University areblack, as are eight of the 52 transfer stu¬dents. By comparison, only about four per¬cent of the Class of :71 were Negroes.Most Negro students recruited! from theSouth remained in Southern schools, Pallettsaid.FreshmenThis year Student Government will prob¬ably be putting its prime attention into twoprojects (with considerable attention stillgoing to others). One is the organization ofa “Constituent Assembly” consisting ofrepresentatives of the faculty, students, ad¬ministration, staff, community, etc. Itwould examine the fundamental structureof the University and the vital issues interms of which a structure should be con¬sidered. The second project is the organiza¬tion of tenant unions. Most students live inapartments in the Hyde Park-Woodlawn-Kenwood area. In recent years the shortageof housing has led to spiraling rents anddeteriorating building conditions. This ad¬versely affects the poor in the communityjust as much or more than students. So thatit is a good area in which to join forces.Other issues we will be actively involvedin include special problems of women andblack students, the discipline resultingfrom the sit-in, an effort to raise funds tofeed school children in Woodlawn, problemsconcerning the community, university hous¬ing, academic affairs, etc.Early this quarter, elections will be heldto fill freshman seats in Student Govern^ment. Notices will be printed later; but ifyou are interested, you can talk to us in theSG office in Ida Noyes. Another recruiting program, the SmallSchools Talent Search, (GRTS) attracted 38students from 23 states, a 30 percent de¬crease from last year.Tbe students represent 400 different sec¬ondary schools, with graduating classesranging from 23 to over 200, from 46 statesand seven foreign countries.About one-fifth of the class are Illinoisresidents, five percent fewer than in recentyears. Fourteen percent of the students arefrom the Chicago metropolitan area.After Illinois, the top ten states repre¬sented are New York, Pennsylvania, NewJersey, Ohio, Missouri, Maryland, Mas¬sachusetts, California, Minnesota, andMichigan, in that order.Of the 2200 who applied to the Universitylast year, 900 were accepted. Fifty-sevenpercent of those accepted came here.Freshmen interviewed Wednesday choseChicago for a number of reasons. Some,lured by the reputations of individual de¬partments, came to the University insearch of psychology, sociology, physics,chemistry, math, and linguistics.One Chicago area girl said “I started outsaying ‘It’s the last place I’ll go.’ Then Ithought of linen and silver for breakfast outeast, on a campus with a white chapel ...very sweet, but I’m not sweet.”Beverly Weintraub, of Detroit, Mich,came to UC not only because it was a“small, good school comparatively nearhome. I guess I’m still following my broth¬er (Jacob, ’70) around,” she said.Scholarships are another enticement. Theaverage freshman this year will receive be¬tween $1350 and $1400 in assistance, andmore than one student admitted “I camehere for the money.”Still others (including the traditionalhordes of Harvard-Radcliffe rejects and aThompson House resident wearing aPrinceton sweatshirt) admited they hadcome “on the rebound.”Every student interviewed had heardabout last year’s sit-in, and none hesitatedto come because of the demonstration anddisruption.“That was happening everywhere,” saidLea Rosenblatt, a Chicago girl with jointIsraeli-American citizenship who must facethe draft if she returns to Israel. “Besides,this was an intellectual (demonstration). Ithad a cause.“I was impressed that it was so peaceful.I don’t like violence, guns, or police comingaround.”Bob Mossberg, an intended physics majorfrom St. Paul, Minn., had already receiveda mimeo Wednesday urging him to“march.” He said, though, “I don’t think Iwould be in any demonstrations because Idon’t dislike the school. Apathy, I guess.”Maroon Editor Gives Freshmen Anti-AdviceBy Caroline HeckThe best advice I ever got when I enteredcollege was to be wary of all the advice Iwas going to get. The problem of passingon such an excellent suggestion is difficultindeed; the very nature of the warning pro¬hibits its being handed down clearly fromone supposedly knowledgeable source to aneager recipient. It is not a lesson to betaught by a teacher to a student, but a real¬ization each man hopefully comes to on hisown.To be wary of advice does not mean toclose your mind to an idea, but to open it tothe alternatives. Whether the statement is“ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” or‘‘the university is the lackey of the forcesof imperialism,” you owe it to your ownintegrity to suspend judgment of the pro¬nouncement until you’ve examined thespeaker’s motives, facts, and context ofspeech, as well as the alternative pro¬nouncements made by those who disagreewith him.The warning applies to academic, politi¬cal, and emotional statements. In the class¬room, you can usually assume that the pro¬fessor has an expert knowledge of his field,and that his academic judgements arebased on information obviously more so¬ phisticated than that of most under¬graduates. But provided there is that senseof respect for his authority, there is no rea¬son in the world he couldn’t be wrong, andno reason a student should hesitate to for¬mulate and voice a considered opposition.In the area of politics, it is often muchmore difficult to be wary. So many of ushave had our basic orientation to politicalquestions determined by emotion ratherthan reason. Our politics are based on whatour parents believe; whether we cling totheir opinions or violently reject them, of¬ten the decision is emotional, irrational.There are allegiences of generation thatmake it difficult to reject a student politi¬co’s opinion for that of someone over 30,regardless of what those opinions are.And yet such commitments are no longerinconsequential, if they ever were. Studentstoday have the ability to make or break theAmerican system of higher education. Thecountry is in no mood to regard studentprotests as the innocent expressions ofyouthful exuberance and idealism. Furtherprotests are going seriously to damage,perhaps destroy universities as we knowthem today.Now perhaps this is a good thing. Thereis an opinion, and a loudly voiced opinion: that such a destruction should take place,must take place if our society is ever goingto become moral. Anyone who does not holdthis opinion, however, who has not serious¬ly thought about and discussed all the im¬plications of the ensuing problems, and whohas not come up with a better, but stillfeasible plan of what to do once the univer¬sities are gone, is guilty of a gross immo¬rality when he commits himself to actswhose implications he only partially under¬stands.And so it’s very simple. Ponder, exam¬ine, cooly consider the alternatives, andthen act on the basis of these rational con¬siderations, sure that you’ve made the bestof all possible choices. And of course, itisn’t very simple at all. Anyone who wasaround here last winter during the sit-inknows the agonizing decisions that have tobe made when a confrontation arises, thesides are drawn, and you must align withone side or the other. Polarization is thename of this game, and its a terrible andcorrupting game. Suddenly there is nomiddle ground and no time for the reasonedexamination that is the only justificationthat such an alignment of allegiences re¬quires. So you sort of close your eyes, de¬cide which side most of the people you re¬ spect are on, and jump in.There is not very much that can be doneto prepare for such an occurrence; the out¬come is bound to be unsatisfactory. Peoplewho make their decisions rationally do notusually find themselves lined up on ex¬treme positions. But this is one case wherecultivating a habit can lead to tb« ability torespond to a crisis with responsibility. If astudent — or a faculty member, or an ad¬ministrator — becomes accustomed to pro¬ceeding according to reason, he is not solikely to be overcome by emotions when acrisis arises.Just as across the country the phrase“Law and Order” has become a partisanslogan that is repugnant to people who mayfind nothing repugnant in the actual con¬cepts of law and of order, so at this Univer¬sity the phrase “rational discourse” hasbecome an obscenity, and the principle be¬hind it has become lost in the face of emo¬tional reaction to those who use it. This istragic, for the principle of reason and ex¬amination is vital to the operation of thisuniversity, and to the integrity of everyoneinvolved in it. If faculty and students don’treason together, there will be no need for arevolution to throw down the university; itwill already have been destroyed.September 1969/The Chicago Maroon/3IQuarter 0<pening K0urs —SATURDAY September 27 9:00-3:00MONDAY September 29 8:00-7:00TUESDAY September 30 8:00-7:00WEDNESDAY October 1 8:00-7:00THURSDAY October 2 8:00-7:00FRIDAY October 3 8:00-7:00SATURDAY October 4 9:00-3:00MONDAY October 6 8:00-7:00TUESDAY October 7 8:00-7:00WEDNESDAY October 8 8:00-5:00REVERT TO REGULAR HOURScHEM LAB: Students complete experiment for phy sci course. History Distinguish UCtechnique and by an historian who would re¬late the social significance of the Dickens’works. The division also hopes to buildbridges to the physical and biological scien¬ces.The common core courses reflect this de¬sire for interdisciplinary approaches. In thefour common core courses, the facultycome from many different departmentswithin the division. Each offers his ownparticular viewpoint to the general prob¬lem, but through the lectures and dis¬cussions, the viewpoints of other scholarsusing different skills are analyzed and dis¬cussed. “These courses are an attempt touse different material and to emphasize dif¬ferent problems which are of a greater in¬terest to the faculty,” Kahan said. Thevariants in the third quarter of most of thecommon core courses are an attempt to al¬low the faculty greater mobility within theconfines of the staff-taught course. In thecommon core courses, students are given|*;L* Gen Ed, AcademicPhysical Sciences“The most distinguishing feature aboutthe physical sciences collegiate division isthe fact that a student is able to get moredeeply into his field than in other divi¬rions,” said Robert Clayton, professor ofgeophysical sciences and chemistry andmaster of the collegiate division.“The subject matter in phy sci coursesfollow each other leading the student deep¬er and deeper into his field.” Throughthese “sequential courses,” the student be¬comes more specialized because of the re¬quirements necessary for more advancedcourses.The common core courses for non-sciencemajors attempt to give the student first¬hand experience in science, and there areseveral variants with “real differences be¬tween them.” Phy Sci 105-6-7 is science asit has been traditionally viewed; 115-6-7 isphysics and chemistry as they are today;101-2-3 is similar to 115-6-7, only using dif¬ferent techniques, and 108-9-10 is aimed at astudy of the physical environment from aquantitative point of view, using all thephysical sciences, but in one concept.Clayton admits that it is difficult to teachcommon core courses because “you have ahostile audience.” Faculty members teachboth types of courses, although assign¬ments rotate.He summarized the philosophy of the physic division as “a concern with giving afirm foundation in the basic areas, chem¬istry, physics, and math. There is a smallnumber of departments (statistics, geophy¬sical sciences, and geography in addition tothe above) and a small number of basicprograms.”The department is the all important unitin the phy sci division, and the studentsspecializes deeply in his field without tak¬ing many extra-departmental courses. Thedegree programs are decided by the indi¬vidual departments, and they decide whateveryone in that department must take. “Intheory,” Clayton said “degree programsmust be approved by the master, but theygo on without his approval.”One of the reasons for having this spe¬cialization through sequential courses is thefact that science majors make up theirminds quickly about their field of study,and the sequential aspect allows them tostart quickly and go farther into their field.“Most science students know their major inhigh school,” said Clayton, “and they canstart their studies as soon as possiblethrough this method.”In the common core courses there hasbeen a “driving force to get smallercourses, not small sections of a few courseswith large total registration, “TTiere is notradition of such staff taught courses,”Clayton said, “The inducement to facultymembers to teach common core courseshas been to give him his own course. PhySci 108-9-10 came about in this way.” Thereis no parallel teaching, but instead the se¬quential teaching. This, feels Clayton, al¬lows for greater faculty mobility by allow¬ing them to do what they want in theircourses. LECTURE: Wayne Booth at opening of 1968 Liberal Arts Conference.September 1969/The Chicago Maroon/5FRESHMAN TESTINGan exposure to as many areas of the socialsciences as possible, but most of thecourses only cover a few of the more im¬portant disciplines. For example, where soc111-12-13 provides a background in politicalscience, economics and history, soc 121-22-23 gives an outlook upon sociology, anthro¬pology and psychology Hopefully studentswho go into the social sciences will usetheir free electives within the social scien¬ces to take courses that supplement thecourse they had in the common core.“We are not dealing with a homogeneouspopulation, but with individuals,” says Ka¬han and the courses in the social sciencecollegiate division seem to revolve aroundthis idea, giving both faculty and students agreater mobility within the confines of thegeneral education.Biological SciencesReform is the watchword for courses of¬fered in the biology collegiate division thisyear, with a complete re-organization of thegeneral education biology course for ma¬jors and non-majors alike.This change came about following wide¬spread discontent with last year’s offering,biology 105-8-7, a large lecture and labcourse with well over 500 students enrolled.The course, which contained both pre-me¬dical students and non-biology majors,drew complaints from students whoclaimed that it was understaffed, poorlytaught, and designed for neither bio nornon-bio students.This year the biology faculty completelyre-vamped the course, offering 13 variantsin the introductory program available to allstudents, including those without a phy scicourse. A new placement exam is being of¬fered for students wishing to try to placeout of the new course.Arnold W. Ravin, professor of biologyand master of the biology collegiate divi¬sion, said that in bringing about these revi¬sions, the biology faculty considered twoquestions: why is it that the College asksall students to take a year long sequence inbiology, and what should go into such acourse.In the past the biology course included allthe material the faculty wanted a biologymajor to have, feeling this could not hurtnon-majors while providing majors with agood foundation for more advancedcourses.Continued, on Pago’EightRegarding the future of the phy sci divi¬sion, Clayton said, “One of the most impor¬tant questions is ‘What place does the labwork have in undergraduate education?”There have been questions raised as to theeffectiveness of labs, both in common corecourses and introductory courses for ma¬jors. Clayton feels this is an importantproblem in a practical sense because of theamount of time taken by the lab. He main¬tains that it is necessary for common corecourses, because “a realistic exposure tolabs is important.” In courses such asChem 105-6-7 ar.d Physics 131-2-3, however,this is another matter because, for onething, high school courses have markedlyimproved, he has found.Students today are less and less inter¬ested in experiment and more and moreinterested in theory, Clayton feels, and hedoes not think that this is a good trend be¬cause before theories can be formulated,there must be observations.There is very little overlap between physci and biology divisions in the college, saidClayton. About the only inter-disciplinarycourse is biophysics, and this is offeredonly cm a graduate level.Social SciencesArcadius Kahan, master of the social sci¬ences collegiate division, perhaps bestsums up education in the division when hesays “We do not want to have narrow spe¬cialists.” This concept, that of the well-rounded, generally educated man, whichwas the basis of the Hutchins’ system ofgeneral education in the thirties andfourties, has been maintained in many sec¬tions of the college, but nowhere is the in¬fluence of the Hutchins era more profoundthan in the social sciences collegiate divi¬sion.To promote general education, the socialsciences collegiate division has many divi¬ sional requirements, and many of the spe¬cific departments have detailed require¬ments that insure the student a backgroundin many areas of the social sciences. Thedivision requires that all students in the di¬vision take a Western and a non-Westemcivilization course. This way, no studentcan specialize in just one of the two areasand know nothing of the other. Also,through the division’s math-language re¬quirement, a student is required to get abackground in at least one of these areas.Since on the departmental level a studentsupposedly specializes in one area, it mightprove to be difficult for the departments toview other areas as generally as their own.This however, has been solved through theelective courses. Most of the social sciencesprograms require that students take threeelectives outside of the social sciences andtwo or three courses in another area of thesocial sciences other than their major. Inthis way, the students gets a broad view ofat least two areas of the social sciences andof some areas outside of the social scien¬ces.Currently, the most popular theory oneducation in the social sciences is that ofthe interdisciplinary approach. Kahan saidthat the social sciences can be viewed assets of toolboxes with each discipline withinthe division supplying one tool box to un¬derstanding mankind. The division hopes tosupply its students with a knowledge ofeach discipline so that he will know whichtoolbox applies in each case.The division accomplishes this inter¬disciplinary approach through the coursesthemselves and through the requirements.In the courses, faculty recognize that theyshouldn’t teach exactly the way they teachgraduate students who have already chosentheir field of interest. College teachers at¬tempt to analyze the question asked in theircourse through as many disciplines as pos¬sible. In this way, one problem can beanalyzed as a sociologist, historian andeconomist would view it. 11ns provides thestudent with a broader outlook on worldlymatters and encourages him to investigatemore in depth the skills of each discipline ofthe social sciences.The requirements listed earlier, includingthe Western and non-Western civ and theelectives and courses outside the social sci¬ences, also supply the interdisciplinaryviewpoint. By requiring students to exam¬ine a variety of different problems both in¬side and outside the social sciences, the di¬vision hopes to show them the interrelationof knowledge between the departments andthe divisions.To further this interdisciplinary ap¬proach, the social sciences collegiate divi¬sion is hoping in future to set up coursestaught by professors from different divi¬sions, each analyzing the same question butusing the skills of his particular area ofexpertise. For example, a course on Dick¬ens might be co-taught by an English pro¬fessor who would analyze Dickens’ literaryHigh-Class Directory Of UC ........ gPeople, PlacesA.

Ravinfeels that a common core biology courseshould acquaint students with the basicphenomena biologists are trying to under¬stand. “One doesn’t have to cover the en¬tire waterfront of biology, one can be selec¬tive,” he said.The biology faculty was invited to formu¬late courses that would explain to studentswhat biologists are trying to do. The biolo¬gy faculty was invited to formulate coursesthat would explain to students what biolog¬ists are trying to do. The guiding principlesof the three quarter sequences offeredwould be an analysis of the range of prob¬lems confronting biologists and a study ofthe four principles of biology; continuity,evolution, regulation, and organization.Said Ravin, “We invited faculty to do this,and they supplied the courses. Most ofthem want to teach small discussion sec¬tions, not large lecture courses.”Before this quarter, the biology facultytold the administration that at most only500 students could be accomodated, andmore will want to take it. Unless the Col¬lege accepted the fact that the new courseswould not be able to accommodate all whowanted to take gen ed biology this year,Ravin said, the division would probablyhave to come up with some other gen edplan, perhaps reverting back to last year’sunsatisfactory course.Ravin admits that with this limited regis¬tration, very few freshmen will in fact beable to take the course.The philosophy of the biology division forthe major is “fairly sound,” said Ravin.Undergraduate education gives the biologymajor his only chance to get a broad over¬view of the science. The bio major musttake courses in six out of seven fields:biochemistry, biology, biophysics, biopsy¬ chology, microbiology, pharmacology, andphysiology.A further change in the curriculum in thepast few years has been the dropping ofinter-science courses such as “physics forbio majors.” The faculty does not respondto being dictated such a course to teach,said Ravin, and hence it was eliminated.Ravin feels Chicago is different from oth¬er Colleges because of the intensity of cur¬ricular concern. He feels Chicago does takeits curriculum very seriously.“In the biology curriculum what is mostevident,” he said, “is the result of a lot ofthinking about how a biologist should beprepared. The insistence is on breadth, notbecoming prematurely specialized.”Humanities“There once was a pretty well formednotion of what an undergraduate educationin humanities should be, but that’s prettywell disappeared.” This statement byStuart Tave, professor of English and mas¬ter of the humanities collegiate division, isabout the most compact analysis of the sit¬uation — past and present — of the huma¬nities at the University of Chicago Collegethat you’re likely to find. -That “well formed notion” — strongestduring the days of the presidency of RobertMaynard Hutchins — once took the form ofthree prescribed year long humanitiescourses. The student of that time came tothe College not to pick and study a coursehere, a course there in whatever took hisfancy, but to follow a rigid prescription ofrequired courses, which in the humanitiesdivision took the form of carefully struc¬tured courses that moved the studentthroughout his years from the simple to thecomplex, studying appreciation, analysis,and finally criticism of the humanities, theachievements of men.Now this carefully delineated structure of courses has dwindled to the point wherethis year even first year students do nottake identical humanities courses, butchoose from eight variants. The programsfor humanities in the second, third, andfourth years, and for students majoring inhumanities reflect similar diversity andstudent option.Tave stated, however, that Chicago’s longtradition of general education has not beeneliminated. Speaking of the seemingly di¬verse variants of the humanities commoncore, Tave said, “The variation is not asgreat as it seems to be.” All the coursesare designed to teach the disciplines ofreading different kinds of literary andphilosophical texts. He indicated a se¬quence on approaches to myth and one onidentifying questions of common concernregarding works of art as being truly “vari¬ant” and characterized the other variants— which include one yearlong sequence de¬voted to Greek thought and literature, andone devoted to history and literature inAmerican culture — as basically similarcourses working with different texts.Tave attributed the shift away from a ri¬gid general education program to reluc¬tance on the part of both faculty and stu¬dents to participate in the old courses. Afew years ago, the standard first yearhumanities course — a legacy from theHutchins College — was Hum I, a yearcourse on art, music, literature all taughtby one professor. Since there are few pro¬fessors with expert knowledge in all three,the course made heavy demands upon itsstaff. Eventually, the course was dis¬continued because there weren't enoughfaculty who could or would teach it. AsTave remarked of this course, “the staffhad to commit itself to this in a big way,”and when there weren’t enough facultymaking that commitment, the quality of theprogram suffered.The humanities division next adopted afew common core courses each year, in each one a large staff teaching the sametexts. This ceased to work when, Tavesays, “A lot of people teaching just didn’tlike it any more. There’s no point in askingpeople to teach a course if they don’t be¬lieve in the value of the course. It was pret¬ty obvious that the thing to do was to askpeople to come up with individual variantsthey’d like to teach.”This movement toward more variantscorresponded with a shift in students goalsfor education. “Students used to comehere,” Tave said, “for a very carefullystructured and detailed curriculum. Thatwas the point of their coming here. Somestudents still expect it, but I don’t thinkthat’s the general trend now. The demandhas been noi for more general educationcourses, but less.”Predicting the course of the humanitiesgeneral education program in the future,Tave remarked that perhaps soon therewill be no common core, but just variants.“Things are not going to come together intoa very ‘constructed’ curriculum. It may besomething of a dead end to think up generaleducation courses.”Just as the general education program inhumanities has moved from the clearly de¬fined to the diffuse, so has the academictone of the division. At one point, the Uni¬versity of Chicago was unique in havinggenerated and maintained a vastly in¬fluential body of critics whose most famil¬iar identification remains to this day the“Chicago School of Criticism.” Althoughthis particular school never completelydominated the scholarship of the division —as Tave pointed out, the school generatedits own opposition and some of its strongestcritics were to be found here — its in¬fluence on criticism ever since has giventhe University a unique quality of being“That place where the Chicago schoolwas.” Some of the most influential mem¬bers of the original group, such as RichardMcKeon, Elder Olsen, and Bernard Wein-COLD CITY INNStudent Discount10% for table service5% for take homeNew expanded menu with more selectionsPressed Duck"Paper” ChickenCurry Chicken or BeefSweet & Sour Duck ★ ★ ★ ★Plus all the good food onour old menu.“I personally recommend the Gold City Inn as a really fine culinary experience.

No longer, however,does the group mold the form of the cur¬riculum here, determining the education ofeach student as they once did.So the student with an interest in major¬ing in humanities now entering the College,can look forward to four years of relativelyfree movement within a body of require¬ments not very different from those at oth¬er colleges. There are the usual require¬ments of knowledge of a foreign language,and study of a history sequence, usually thehistory of western civilization. Every seniormajoring in the humanities will take a spe¬cial interdisciplinary seminar for seniorsonly. Throughout his four years the studentcan choose from the numerous inter¬disciplinary courses and courses whose de¬partment heading is simply “humanities.”Tave is particularly proud of the inter¬disciplinary courses and senior seminars,saying, “It is in this area that the facultyhas been most inventive.”Alumni who attended the College whenHutchins’ spectacular and sometimes out¬landish notions on education were thespotlight of academia may feel wistful overTave’s remark on the curriculum that “Theuniqueness that was once here is no longerhere.” He hastened to add, however,“Uniqueness is not so important as quali¬ty,” and feels that it is in terms of qualitythat the College still maintains its dis¬tinction among institutions of learning.New DivisionYoungest, smallest, and least understoodof the collegiate divisions, the New Colle¬giate Division (NCD) offers faculty and stu¬dents “a place for diverse collegiate ex¬periments unrestricted by habitual bound¬aries between the departments and divi¬sions of knowledge.”Unlike the other four collegiate divisions,which correspond to the graduate divisionsof the physical sciences, biological scien¬ces, social sciences, and humanities, “TheNew Collegiate Division corresponds to nothing;” NCD master James Redfieldwrote in the spring, 1968 issue of Midway,“it also has the advantage of being new. Itinherited no programs or personnel fromthe past; since it does not represent anysubject area, it is free to attack, with aminimum of preconceptions, the problem ofundergraduate education in a great gradu¬ate university.”The NCD attracts faculty from all partsof the University, thus partly bridging divi¬sional and graduate-collegiate gaps.To join the division, a student must usual¬ly submit application before April 15 of hisfreshman year. Once accepted (115 stu¬dents are now enrolled), a student usuallyspends the next three years meeting flex¬ible residence, course, and language re¬quirements, writing a junior year quali¬fying paper, and a bachelor’s paper.Typical course requirements include fiveto nine quarters of independent study (IS).Explaining the NCD’s lenient stand on re¬quirements (“ ... regulations should beread to include the word ‘normally’,” an NCD booklet reads) one professor said“The requirements for each student onlymake sense in terms of what he needs toknow.”In contrast to traditional educational em¬phasis on a common curriculum leading toknowledge, NCD Professor Herman Sinaikosaid, “What we did in the division wassomething quite different. We said therecould be many paths to a liberal education.“Faculty were asked ‘What are you inter¬ested in? How would the world look fromyour perspective?’ ” From this the courseswere developed.Hence, Sinaiko said, the NCD is “a varie¬ty of liberal educations in constant conver¬sation with each other ... all claiming tobe the same thing.“You can’t think of the six programs asseparate pieces of pie. Rather each is atelescope, a way of looking at the samething.“This structure .is intended to generatethe kind of discourse and argument thatwill generate vitality. “It’s not the particular programs thatmatter,” Sinaiko said. “We could createten different programs to get the same typeof education.”On the other hand Charles Wegener,chairman of the Analysis of Ideas andStudy of Methods (I & M) program felt thatsince its inaugural in 1965, the division hasbecome increasingly program-oriented.“The first year, students came around andsaid ‘Program? What program?’ Now theysay ‘I want to get in I & M.’ ”“On the other hand I don’t think it hasbecome merely a collection of programs.“The particular programs are quite dif¬ferent, but there are two things they havein common,” Wegener said. “They are all,by conventional standards, inter¬disciplinary. You can see that in their ti¬tles: civilizational studies, the history andphilosophy of science,...” (The other fourprograms are I & M, history and philoso¬phy of religion, philosophical psychology,and tutorial studies/)“Also, to a very large extent every stu¬dent’s program is put together uniquely forhim.“One thing which is relevant to the char¬acter of the program is that a great deal oftime is spent talking to students about whatthey are doing.“I don’t mean tutoring. You might call itadvising, but not the ‘you’ve got to take thiscourse to graduate’ sort.“The real kind of independence for theseprograms is not this thing called ‘indepen¬dent study,’ ” Wegener said. “In IS a stu¬dent may be seeing a professor every week,and he can get to be pretty dependent. Thereal independence is that you’re putting to¬gether your own program.Sinaiko concluded, “We’re not turningout products; We want people who areautonomous. The student has got to findthat the major source of energy is him¬self. The degree to which students areindividualized in the NCD should be amark of the division’s success.”MEDICAL BOOKSoLaraest Selectionthe South Side onPROFESSIONAL BOOKSTORE1122 East 53rd St. 953-1620Mon. - Fri. 8:45 to 5:00raSeptember 1969/The Chicago Maroon19the'IN' lookAROUND CAMPUSBAKERY...Bumy Bros.BOOKS...Book Nook- CANDIES...Fannie MayCLEANERS...Flair CleanersDRUGS...Walgreen5 & 10 STORE...Wool worth'sFOOD...Hyde Park Co-OpBurny Bros.HOSIERYNeumodeMEDICAL CENTERMEN’S WEARCohn & SternMONEY. „Hyde Park Federal Savings & LoanHyde Park Co-Op Credit UnionLake Park Currency ExchangeOPTOMETRIST...Dr. A.

It was built, as Los Angeles and Houston werelater, with great speed and with not much regard for pedestrians. It is very difficult toget around in it without a car. Once you are in Hyde Park, you feel like you are stuckhere. Well, resist that feeling if you can. You can go crazy spending more than sevendays in a row in Hyde Park. Chicago may not be New York or San Francisco, but it isvery large, and there are many interesting people and fascinating places here, and if ,you spent every waking hour of your four or five years here looking around, you wouldnot see them all.11118 of course is not meant to be a complete guide; it is skimpy and biased.

It is your main linkto downtown, the Loop. Trains leave about every 15 minutes from stations at 53rd, 55th,57th, and 59th. (Walk east, toward the lake.) Service on Sunday nights after about 1 isnon-existent. Check the schedule. Tickets are 45 cents one way, 80 cents round trip.After you have inserted your magnetized Mylar ticket and taken your chances with themechanical gates, be sure to get the ticket when it pops up again. You need it to getout of the station on the other side.The C.T.A.The rapid transit on the South Side is not particularly convenient to Hyde Park noris it very safe, especially at night. In the Loop and on the North Side, however, thesubway and the elevated are quite safe. Buses seem to be safe everywhere, though theynow require exact change, 40 cents.The SightsThe Auditorium, 430 South MichiganThe Auditorium, on first sight, is ugly. It is bulky, rough, and very dirty on theoutside. You really have to sit and look at it from across Michigan Avenue to appre¬ciate how it was put together. To understand it, you have to get into the theater, therestored heart of Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler’s 1889 theater-hotel-office buildingcomplex. The theater is magnificently golden with the glow of 5,000 primitive electricligh builbs (it was the first building completely lighted by electricity) and a wealth ofgilt plaster and gold stenciling (not all of which has been restored). The acoustics arenearly perfect; sightlines are perfect for all but about four of the 4,200 in the audience."Chicago may not be New York or 5are many interesting people and fa:The rest of the building is occupied by Roosevelt University, which bought it in1946. The opera company had moved out of the theater in 1929 and into the vastlyinferior Lyric Opera House, built as a monument by Samuel Insull (Insull’s fortunesubsequently collapsed, as served him right for causing the bankruptcy and the 26-yearvacancy of the theater. The Auditorium Theater Council, which restored the theater ata cost of $2.2 million, gives tours (call them at 922-2110). Out-of-town ballet troupes andorchestras give concerts there all the time, as do rock groups.(How to get there: Take the I.C. to Van Buren, walk south one block.)The Civic Center, Randolph, Dearborn, Washington, and ClarkThis is where the Chicago Picasso is. There is a plaza with a kind of fountain, andthe powerful Civic Center Building (C.F. Murphy Associates), which like the Picasso, ismade of Cor-Ten steel. Both have been affectionately called the Rusting Ugly by thecitizens.Inside the building is a crowd of politicos, clerks, school children, cops, crooks, andtourists. Take an elevator up to some floor (do not worry about being stopped; every¬body looks like they belong in the civic center), look out of the huge windows at thefantastic views. Walk around, go into a courtroom, examine the details of the building.With this marvelous court house, I wonder why Chicago is not a less corrupt, moreright-thinking city, but such is life.(How to get there: Get off I.C. at Randolph, walk west (away from the lake) threeblocks.)First National Bank, Madison, Dearborn, and Clark.With its great swoop up to sixty stories, it is fairly exciting (particularly if you getdown Madison a way and see that big curve breaking up the canyon).

It is the second tallest in the world(Ah, Chicago!), with 50 stories of apartments on top of 50 stories of offices. It is notquite finished, but some of the details on the building (Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill,architects) are shoddy: the ceilings are low, the halls are ugly, the elevators are notthe fastest, the travertine first level doesn’t go with the giant oil derrick above, from theinside the windows don’t seem to be slanted at all. The building looks better from adistance. Yes, but try to get into the apartment part. Security! Tours will be availablesoon, we are promised. Call: 944-5043.(How to get there: I.C. to Randolph.

Furniture, tools, plants, books, clothes, junk,food. Many bargains (no questions asked). Do not be afraid to haggle: put on a hard-fisted front; hardly any of the sidewalk entrepeneurs will quote a bottom price to youthe first time.

(IIT isthe spiritual heir of the Bauhaus. After the Nazis drove the Bauhausers out, Moholy-Nagy came to Chicago and in 1937 founded the New Bauhaus which joined IIT in 1949 asthe Institute of Design; Mies and Ludwig Hilberseimer came to IIT’s predecessor, theArmour Institute of Technology as the directors of the departments of architecture andcity planning.)(How to get there: Take westbound No. 1 bus on 57th.

It is concrete, and very modern, about 10 yearsahead of its time. Everything is designed by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill Uhe largestarchitectural firm in the country; the chief designer in their Chicago office, WalterNetsch Jr., designed the new library rising in Stagg Field, and the Pahlavi Building,which will be built in the vacant lot across the street from Woodward Court). Exceptfor the lack of trees, the place is striking and beautiful, and I sort of wish that Harperand Rockefeller had had the courage to go to a modern firm in 1890 (like Adler andSullivan).

Successful cam¬paigns on campuses have usually been theresult of a liberal-radical coalition. On mostcampuses, they have joined forces after theadministration has called the cops to haulsome radicals out of a building.The long-range goals of the liberals andradicals, where they can be said to havelong-range goals, are very different. Theliberals want reform of the Universities;they want student power; they want stu¬dents to have a role in making the academ¬ic and political decisions that universitiesmake.The radicals appear to be out to destroyuniversities as they exist today as evil in¬stitutions in an evil society. Some hope toseize them and use them as a platformfrom which to launch the revolution; theyhope to “revolutionize” them. 1969: Marches, speeches and sit-ins highlighted the Marlene Dixon situation in January,The University of Chicago has not seenstudent rebellions of the scale of Berkeleyor Columbia. Tempers here have not risenas high as at Harvard or Wisconsin. Butthere has been nearly constant activitysince the “rank” sit-in in 1966.The issue in 1966 was the fact that theUniversity was making male class ranksavailable for the Selective Service systemwhich at that time based student defer¬ments on class rank. The administrationbuilding was taken over for three days by acoalition called Students Against the Rank.They left of their own accord, none waspunished, but the University did not end therank until after it had indulged in its ownlaborious procedures and satisfied itselfthat ending the rank was consistent with itsivory-tower detachment from the politicalrealm. By that time General Hershey hadgiven up class ranks anyway. Tht leaders of the rank sit-in, notablyJeff Blum and Steve Kindred, became theleaders of SDS, and the next year, havingdiscovered that on a technicality the Uni¬versity was still ranking male students, or¬ganized a “study-in” sit-in in the ad build¬ing. This lasted only overnight. The Univer¬sity responded in force, handing out its bynow formulaic notices warning people that“A determination has been made that theactions in which you have engaged con¬stitute an improper interference with thenormal functioning of the University andare disruptive.” People who didn’t leave,were warned again and then given sum¬monses to a disciplinary hearing. Therequest was granted to have one masshearing — the last week of the spring quar¬ter. Mandel Hall was jammed, eventually55 were suspended. In 1968, the campus was quieter. SDS(with about 50 attending weekly meetings)began to develop its ideas about allegedlyracist University expansion in Woodlawnand its “imperialist” attachment to the In¬stitute for Defense Analyses (IDA). Realiz¬ing, as with the rank, that its collaborationwith IDA was inconsistent with its desireddetachment from powers-that-be, UC with¬drew. More attention was paid to the plightof Woodlawn families displaced by univer¬sity expansion.In the meantime black students began or¬ganizing, in two overlapping groups,SPLIBS (the Society for the Promotion ofLobbying in the Interests of Black Stu¬dents) and the Black Student Alliance(BSA). They presented the administrationwith a list of demands, among them thatChauncey Boucher Hall be converted to an all-black dormitory, and that a 12 percentquota for black student admissions. Whenthe demands were not met, about 40 stu¬dents moved into the ad building, stayedabout four hours, and moved out again.Eventually all but the Boucher Hall de¬mand were accepted; greater efforts weremade at recruiting black students, andnow, partly because of a cut in the fresh¬man class from 700 to 500,14 percent of thisyear’s entering class are black.By fall 1968, the mood of all campuseshad changed. It was after Columbia, andafter the Chicago of August, 1968.

As a sop,Marlene Dixon was offered a one-year ex¬tension of her appointment, on the excusethat all the commotion had not given Herthe chance to look for a new job. A certainamount of activity was generated in thestudent councils that Levi had asked to beset up in each academic division the pastOctober. But this was liberal student activi¬ty; concerned with student power, the roleof students in faculty appointments andcurriculum.

SDS rejected the com¬mittee, figuring that in an explosive situ¬ation a faculty committee wouldn’t revealany political bias on the part of the sociolo¬gy department if it found it. Moving beforethey had substantial support from liberalstudents, SDS took over the administrationbuilding, and held it for two weeks. Duringthat time, they gained few outside suppor¬ters, and the numbers of the radicals in thebuilding dropped quickly from 500 to 200. Long grueling hours were spent arguingideology — what was the purpose of the sit-in, is this part of the revolution? A splitwidened between the new leftists and PL(Progressive Labor) people who advocateda “worker-student alliance.” Levi, mean¬while, sat in his house and very carefullydid nothing. After two weeks, dejected,somewhat ill, but not admitting defeat, thedemonstrators left the building. SDS leaderHowie Machtinger’s dictum “There is nofree discussion except among equals: Forstudents to be heard they have to maketheir own base of power — for example tak¬ing over a building proved to be a neces¬sary but not a sufficient condition.The University, not content to have quelledthe sit-in without arousing the majorityof the students, proceeded to discipline the demonstrators. Discipline had been a soresubject at least since the 1967 sit-in. Inspring 1968 an all-faculty committee wasset up to study discipline procedures, head¬ed by law professor Harry Kalven. Thecommittee took nearly a year to make areport, and it still had not been released bythe time of the Dixon sit-in. The old proce¬dures excluded students. In hearing thedemonstrators, the faculty prosecutor judg¬es had as guidelines only their sense of dueprocess, a ruling made by the committee ofthe council of the faculty senate (the rulingelite of the University) after the 1966 ranksit-in that future “disruptive” demonstra¬tions would be punishable by expulsion,and, some thought, their distaste for theradicals. After the disciplinary decisions, therewas a certain amount of protest, an abor¬tive strike on classes, a hunger strike, aseries of editorials in the Maroon, but moststudents, never having been caught up bythe sit-in, did not seem to be concerned thatthe demonstrators were given harsher pe¬nalties than students got at almost any oth¬er University in the country.Some of the demonstrators refused to ap- Last spring the radicals had been dis¬persed, and the liberals demoralized.

But the University’s community is also adjacent Woodlawn — poor andblack since the 1950’s, uneducated and unemployed, unliealthy and ill-housed and crime-ridden, but beginning to feel militant pride and strength in its blackness, its grass-rootsorganization and its gangs, and quickly moving up from apathy.Hyde Park remains our turf, physically and socioeconomically. But as the Univer¬sity continues expanding south of the Midway, as its technical assistance to The Wood-lawn Organization (TWO) and its “demonstration projects” proliferate, and as Univer¬sity students demand more concern for the black neighborhood victimized by whitesociety, Woodlawn increasingly is becoming part of the University community, and thisis the new focal point of interest.Olde Hyde Park and NewEven before Chicago opened its academic doors in 1892, the Village of Hyde Parkwas a neighborhood that stood out among others across the country, inhabited byupper-class professionals of a decidedly liberal bent. That year’s world’s fair, theColumbian Exposition, bequeathed to the neighborhood not only the Midway but alsothe art colony, a double row of small stores decorated in candy-cotton Gothic along 57thSt. between Stony Island Ave. and the Illinois Central Railroad tracks.The art colony contributed such artists and thinkers as Theodore Dreiser, CarlSandburg, Sherwood Anderson, and Thorstein Veblen, while the new University ofChicago, its Hyde Park campus donated by Marshall Field, attracted a large populationof faculty, students, and hangers-on. A new era of even greater liberality and in¬tellectual ferment was incipient.The 20th century has brought many demographic and physical changes, but HydePark’s social and political climate today is equally ahead of its time. Professionals,artists, and University people still populate the neighborhood, with the addition of a fewlower-income blacks, and they live with each other amicably. At the famous “HydePark party.” where you get stoned, dance, or discuss Plato, sex, Bellow, or Nixon’s new vwelfare proposal, pot has replaced liquor as the catalyzing agent. But while mostChicago students have tried marijuana at least once, the fraction of the entire commu¬nity who are regular or hard drug users is small — and there is no substantial hippiesubculture here, most “heads” considering drugs a pleasant diversion rather thansomething central to their lives."Hyde Parkers are possessed with communityspirit - an active concern for their neighborhoodwhich is manifested today in dozens of localcommunity organizations . . ."The young blacks who joke around or sell the “Black Panther” in Kimbark Plaza,the unconventional types who congregate in Harper Court, a bi-level assemblage ofinteresting shops and bookstores where some of the Art Colony craftsmen moved afterurban renewal, the young wives and old ladies who shop at the co-op, a cooperativesupermarked and the product of liberal thought, the men who ride the IC home fromLoop jobs or walk home from the quadrangles, and, of course, the students, always thestudents, these are the people of Hyde Park. The few older, more conservative resi¬dents east of the tracks may get upset over drugs, bongo-playing at the lakeside Pointin Jackson Park off 55th St, and similar youthful exuberance, but toleration of differinglife styles is the prevailing ideology.The Political ContextHyde Park’s political liberalism is epitomized in the person of Fifth Ward Aider-man Leon M. Despres, who continues a long tradition of gadflies on the City Councilindependent of Mayor Richard J. Daley’s Democratic machine. Whether the issue belast year’s Democratic convention, violence, civil rights demands, lakeside conservation,or some other favorite of Hyde Parkers, Despres makes a point of attacking the Daleymachine position on the Council floor whenever the opportunity arises, sometimesassisted by one or two allies, often provoking an overkill response from Daley floorleader Aid. Thomas Keane (47th) and his bloc which despite its foregone conclusion canbe one of the best shows in town. There are now twelve anti-Daley aldermen on the 50-man Council, including three of its eight Negro members, but although the number hasbeen increasing Chicago remains a conservative city and Daley, with the support ofbusiness and labor leaders and citizens, seems certain to retain power in the years tocome.Among Despres’ predecessors is former Chicago professor of economics Paul H.Douglas, a long-time Hyde Park resident who spent several years in the U.S. Senatewith distinction until his 1966 defeat by Republican Charles H. Percy, a former studentof Douglas who became chairman of the board at Bell and Howell, and a Universitytrustee. Hyde Park is represented in the House by liberal Abner Mikva, who betweenhis unsuccessful primary bid in 1966 and the 1968 election won Daley’s support over theoctogenerian incumbent, the late Barrett O’Hara.RUBBLE: Torn-down buildings in the 60th to 61st street area. $KID ROW: The bar area of Hyde Park on 53rd Street west of Harper Ave.Crisis in the 1950'sBeyond social and political liberalism, Hyde Parkers are possessed with communityspirit — an active concern for their neighborhood which is manifested today in dozensof local community organizations and two strong newspapers and which was a criticalfactor 20 years ago when blight and crime threatened to overcome the area. TheUniversity of Chicago felt this threat too, perhaps even more keenly, and its responsewas swift and controversial. Former professor of sociology Peter Rossi co-authored ThePolitics of Urban Renewal, the definitive study of the Hyde Park-Kenwood urban re¬newal program.Following World Warr II, Hyde Park like many other urban neighborhoods wasexperiencing a decline in housing standards due, first, to the attraction of low-incomesouthern Negroes to the city by an expanded wartime job market and, second, to the1947 U.S. Supreme Court decision barring racially restrictive covenants in the sale ofreal estate. The increasing black population now was able to break out of the ghettomoving into Hyde Park-Kenwood south and east across the previous “natural bound¬aries” of 47th St. and Cottage Grove Ave.Many frightened white residents fled to the suburbs, and in the ensuing unstableperiod their dim prophesy was self-fulfilled as whole blocks went to poor blacks, illegalconversions and inadequate services became commonplace, and blight and crimespread rapidly. Residents determined to stay formed the Hyde Park-Kenwood Commu¬nity Conference (HPKCC) to attack physical decay through legal efforts and dissolveinterracial tensions by inviting newly arrived black families to block club meetings. Butalthough the Conference enjoyed some degree of citizen participation, it alone could notmarshal enough resources to combat neighborhood decline on a massive scale — re¬sources available only to an owner of land, employer of citizens, holder of money, andwielder of influence like the University.Enter the UniversityPrior to .1952, the University’s neighborhood activities had consisted of subsidizingorganizations concerned with enforcement of housing codes or extension of restrictivecovenants and (after 1948) “conservation agreements.” When HPKCC leaders arrangeda meeting with Chancellor Robert Maynard Hutchins in 1951, he greeted them cordially,said he favored a University policy of racial non-discrimination, but then abruptly leftfor another meeting. It was only after Lawrence A. Kimpton succeeded Hutchins, bywhich time faculty members were leaving few fear of their families’ safety and parentswere reluctant to let their children attend Chicago, that the University made saving theneighborhood a primary goal. Community leaders appealed to Kimpton, who scheduleda mass meeting in Mandel Hall for March 27, 1952, and word of the kidnapping of aninstructor’s wife the previous night produced an overflow crowd.A “Committee of Five” including Kimpton was chosen at the meeting and shortlyproposed a new organization to deal with the neighborhood, the South East ChicagoCommission (SEOC), which unlike HPKCC became a forceful prime mover and gained55TH STREET: rHe tannii ''Sefore'' picture viewing the street prior to urbanrenewal.16/The Chicago Maroon/September 1969. A BACKYARD? Steps, stoops and weeds behind a typical Hyde Park apartment.the support of businessmen and merchants. Kimpton asked Julian H. Levi, corporationlawyer, brother of now President Edward H. Levi, and an aggressive operator, tobecome executive director of SECC, which has since remained the University’s subsi-I dized political action arm. Julian Levi used University connections with the Chicagofinancial community to make real estate speculators toe the line while criminologistDon T. Blackiston, who still maintains complete records of Hyde Park crimes and codeviolations, spurred efforts of police and municipal agencies.1|. Urban RenewalIn 1953 Levi pushed through a state housing law which could be used by the Univer¬sity in conjunction with the 1949 federal housing act towards making Hyde Park-Kenwood an urban renewal area, and by 1954 SECC and HPKCC had developed aworking relationship with City Hall. A $100,000 grant to the University from the Mar¬shall Field Foundation enabled SECC to set up a full-time planning unit under JackMeltzer, now director of the Center for Urban Studies. The University and SECC got thecity to let Meltzer’s unit do the planning while HPKCC acted mainly as a “transmissionbelt” allowing the University to muster sufficient citizen approval of plans.The results, mixed for the community, undisputably favorable to the University onthe whole, unfortunate for many poor blacks and students, in large part made HydePark what it is today. Three shopping centers, massive twin apartment buildings androws of townhouses, Pierce Tower and the Lutheran School of Theology, a widened 55thSt. and still-vacant cleared land now exist in place of the blight, impending blight,quaintness and culture of the pre-renewal days.The crime rate is among the lowest in the city, the tremendous demand for housing isspurring construction of several new luxury high-rises, and the neighborhood’s future isquite secure. But almost no low-income housing was built to replace cleared substan¬dard units, and the community’s middle-class professional character was preservedonly at the expense of poor blacks forced out or prevented from moving in and ofstudents looking for cheap apartments; a national showcase of stable integration atabout 40 percent black, in spite of its liberality and toleration, Hyde Park is, asalumnus Mike Nichols puts it, “white and Negro, shoulder to shoulder against the lowerclasses.”Woodlawn in the 1960'sArmed with apparently beneficial results to all in the Hyde Park-Kenwood urbanrenewal program, Levi convinced other urban universities to lobby with him for pas¬sage of what became part of the 1959 federal housing act, a set of privileges eliminatingthe requirement of residential use for renewal projects involving institutions of highereducation and enabling them to use federal matching funds to write down expendituresfor campus expansion. On July 20, 1960, the University of Chicago announced a $75million enlargement of the South Campus and clearance of residential structures pro¬viding a “land bank” for future expansion in the mile-long strip between 60th and 61stSts. from Cottage Grove to Stony Island Aves. This was Woodlawn’s initiation into theUniversity community and the beginning of a relationship that nine years later has63RD STREET: The CTA line creates a maxe of steel in Woodlawn. undergone a series of metamorphoses that allow scant predictability of stages yet tocome.Between 1950 and 1960, the attractive predominantly white community of Woodlawnhad undergone the massive social and physical changes that Hyde Park barely escaped,about 40,000 blacks replacing an equal number of whites. In the worst section of Wood¬lawn east of Cottage Grove Ave. were crowded 60,000 residents with a median familyincome of under $3000, of whom 90 percent were black. Large families put tremendousstrain on already inadequate schools, and of the male labor forces at least 15 percentwere unemployed with the figure reaching upwards of 50 percent for young adults.Indices of morbidity and mortality were among the highest in the city, virtually half ofthe housing units were dilapidated or substandard, and the community was beingravaged by robberies, youth gangs, and prostitution.Enter Woodlawn OrganizationIn 1959, a group of concerned Woodlawn pastors appealed for help in combatingneighborhood deterioration to the Industrial Areas Foundation, a Catholic-sustainedgroup headed by Saul Alinsky providing technical assistance to communities wishing toorganize themselves, and to the Catholic Church, which arranged initial financing forthe project. Out of this grew the Temporary Woodlawn Organization, later called TheWoodlawn Organization (TWO), which represented several churches, businessmen’sassociations, block clubs, and other grass-roots organizations in the community unitedunder the Alinsky philosophy that only through the exercise of organized power aginstthe established “power structure” can citizens of a poor community affect social,political, and economic change in their interest.A prerequisite of gaining power through organization is giving the communitysomething to organize around, and there was an abundance of issues to choose from,most of them revolving around the simple interpretation of a slum as the result ofconscious exploitation. TWO exposed unscrupulous business practices, arranged rentstrikes against slum landlords and picketed their homes, and sponsored demonstrationsat the Board of Education and school boycotts for better facilities. Some of the tacticswere harsh ones that made life miserable for their targets and stimulated the distasteof more moderate crusaders, but they worked to win small battles and the worriedattention of City Hall.Meanwhile, the University had made its proposal to the city to buy up remainingSouth Campus land, SECC had invited several Woodlawn pastors to join a University-sponsored community organization program, and the wary clerics had declined andpersuaded the city to defer approval of the University proposal. The newly organized"The crime rate is among the lowest in the city,the demand for housing is spurring constructionof luxury high-rises, and the neighborhood's fu¬ture is quite secure."TWO argued that the South Campus plan had to be tied to overall community planningparticipated in by Woodlawn’s residents, mindful of the way bulldozers had removedpoor blacks from Hyde Park-Kenwood in the interest of neighborhood stability andfearful that the same would happen to them in the interest of expansion.TWO leaders asked to discuss matters with SECC but Levi rebuffed the organiza¬tion, claiming that it alone did not represent the community and preferring to speakwith a wide variety of individuals. Though there was no basic disagreement over theultimate goal for Woodlawn, a decent environment, the University in its distrust ofTWO tactics attacked its existence as a Catholic-supported plot to keep Woodlawn aghetto in order to preserve all-white parishes to the southwest and sourtheast. Charlesoilberman’s reporting of the University-TWO fight over the South Campus plan in achapter of Crisis in Black and White is the most accurate available.Compromise and ConciliationThe University had not reckoned TWO’s potential strength correctly. In Spring 1962Mayor Richard J. Daley accepted the organization’s importance and spoke at its secondannual convention. A year later, at a meeting in the Mayor’s office, TWO agreed to theUniversity’s renewal proposal in exchange for assurances that a project to house resi¬dents displaced from the South Campus would be ready before the area was cleared.But federal relocation has proceeded badly as always and apartment buildings contain¬ing 1700 units housing low-income blacks and students, only some of it structurallyunsound, are being tom down quicker than a 540-unit low-rise project co-sponsored byTWO and the Kate Maremont Foundation is going up on Cottage Grove Ave. south of60th St. This summer the University announced that it would lease eight acres of theSouth Campus land to TWO for 50 years for the contruction of federally funded low —and moderate-income housing and lend the community organization $500,000 in planningfunds.Following the South Campus agreement, the University apparently decided that itwould better achieve its purposes by working with WO rather than against it, andbecame involved in a series of cooperative ventures funded by federal, state, and localagencies that have met with varying degrees of success.

MICHIGAN AVE.. CHICAGO. ILL. 50616TEL 324*255020/The Chicago Maroon/September 1969Where To Go; What To Find ThereContinued from Page 1385 cents for students. Late show starts about 3(How to get there: I.C. to Randolph. Walk west r- • ^plaza to Clark. Walk south on Clark.) to Clvlc Center Cut south acrossAardvark, 1608 North Wells.Flat floor. Good underground films.(How to get there: I.C. to Randolph. Walk west to Wells. Take northbound Bus No. 10to North Street.)Three-Penny Cinema, 2424 North LincolnArt flicks ... The Biograph, where Dillinger got it, is being fived up to show art.stuff, too.(How to get there: I.C. to Randolph. Walk to Wabash, take northbound Bus No. 11 toFullerton. Doesn’t work Sundays, so take the No. 10 from Wells.)TheatresI am not much of a theater goer, and so will leave you in the hands of the Maroonand the daily papers’ theater critics. However, I do recommend the Auditorium, nomatter what is showing. Most of the downtown theaters are Ijpdly designed, and mostplays are Broadway progeny. The Goodman (next to the Art Institute) is an exceptionon both counts. On campus, try to see all plays on general principles, but don’t missproductions of the Renaissance Players.CabaretSecond CityIn Old Town, fantastic satirical skits. Great improvisation. Closed Monday. Phoneearly for reservations (at least a week ahead on weekends.) $2 50 weeknights, $3 Fridayand Saturday. Drinks, hamburgers.How to get there: I.C. to Randolph. Walk west to Wells, take Bus No. 10 north. Getoff at North.)Shops and StoresShopping is mostly done on foot. Most of these stores are in the Loop. Walk to themfrom the I.C. station at Randolph.Marshall Field & Co., Ill North StateTlie ultimate bourgeoise paradise. Everything your heart desires, perhaps slightlymore epensive than if you had searched elsewhere for it, but then a department storeis supposed to stop the searching and that is what you pay for. Good service, even ifyou look like a student. Neiman Marcus is more lavish, but Field’s has more varietyand is cheaper. You should probably go just to see it.Specialty ShopsMost of the New York specialty shops have stores here: Brooks Brothers, (74 EastMadison), Peck & Peck (24 South Michigan), Saks Fifth Avenue (69 North Michigan),Bonwit Teller (830 North Michigan), all somewhat smaller than their New York par¬ents.Clothes lI don’t know anything about women’s clothes, but among men’s stores: Man At Ease,105 East Ontario and 1706 North Wells. Hip. Expensive. But you get exactly what youwant . . Brittany, Ltd., 642 North Michigan. Its suits are cut at the place in Con¬necticut that J. Press uses ... Benjamin Clothing, Co., 1500 South Clinton. Good placeto go for a good $100 suit.In Hyde Park: Cohn & Stern, in the 55th Street shopping center, carries Gant shirts, agood selection of ties . .. John’s Men’s Wear, on 53rd Street off Harper is stuffed withcheap mod shirts, bell bottoms, and some trash. Stock varies from day to day.FurnitureHyde Park apartments are very nearly uninhabitable, but they’re all there are inHyde Park. Fortunately, landlords are mostly absentee and you can paint them up(super-mannerist, or just stoned). Furniture, unless you are rich, is a problem, unlessyou patronize the following stores: Catholic Salvage, 3514 South Michigan .... Salva¬tion Army, 140 West 62nd, 1336 West 63rd, 2729 North Lincoln .... Women’s AmericanOrt (that’s right, Ort), 9020 South Commercial .... A beat up little table can look verygood painted bright red enamel. Big old dining tables make fine coffee tables, cutdown. One place to buy rugs: Carpet City, 6740 South Stony Island.(How to get there: You will need a car, or perhaps a truck. Inquire about deliveries.BooksKroch’s and Brentano’s, 29 South Wabash, is the Marshall Field’s of bookstores. Well-organized, large, fairly friendly. If tiiey don’t have what you want, they will get it, asfast as or faster than any other bookstore..... Stuart Brent’s, 670 North Michigan. UCalumnus. Good plcae to buy books for presents .... Barbara’s Book-Shop, 1434 NorthWells, in Old Town. For readers of the New Yor Review.Hyde Park used book stores: All very good. Reid Micbener 5309 Kimbark ....Joseph O’Gara, 1360 East 53rd (at Kenwood) Rudolph A. Van Tellingen, in HarperCourt (off 53rd) .... Before you buy your textbooks, check out: the Student Co-opReynolds Club Pool Hall Annex and the co-op in the Chicago Theological Seminary,58th and University.TobaccoIwan Ries & Co., 133 South Wabash. Pipes and pipe tobacco, cigars. Shop smells verygood Aristocratic .... If you are a cigar fiend, the best place is Rubovits Cigars, 306South LaSalle.WineParty Mart, 2427 East 72nd. Also has cheese. Around the Loop: The gournet bonanza,Stop & Shop, 16 West Washington .... Marina City Drugs and Liquors, Marina City.Proprietor knows wine and will make recommendations without bullshit.NewstandsHome delivery of Chicago newspapers in Hyde Park is lousy, thanks to the HydePark News Service. You would be wiser to buy from newstands. Its also more fun. TheBookstore and Book Center, in Harper Court, carry a wide range of newspapers andmagazines.These places sell the Sunday Times Sunday morning (and afternoon): On 57th Street,Woodward Book Store and the Green Door. On 55th, the Stand at Woodlawn. On 53rd,[ar him Rexall, in the Kimbark shopping center, and the Book Center on Lake Park at51st Rob’s and (across the street) Bob’s East.Stereo EquipmentP you know what you want, get a car and go to Allied, 100 North Western.. . .If youwani to listen to different combinations of equipment, MusiCraft is a good place to visit,48 East Oak (Take a northbound Michigan Avenue bus). . . . Toad Hall on 57th Streethas a good selection, but, while they say they will match the lowest prices in town up tothirty days after you buy something there, they don’t always quote you the lowest pricehrst. Bargain. Hard.RecordsRead newspaper ads fcr sales. The lowest prices are usually at the big discountstores. Find a car and drive out. If you have a record now, Lowes in the 55th Streettopping center has a reasonable stock and average prices . . . Jazz Record Mart, 7West Grand, spec’ .liezs in blues, jazz, and oldies.•«» NORTH MICHIGAN: The view north from Lake Point Tower.A Note on The LawThe campus and most of Hyde Park are patrolled by campus cops, all of whom arenow University-hired and not Brinks men or other rent-a-cops. I have yet to meet acampus cop who is a pig.There are occasional reports of harassment of long-haired students by Chicago cops(a car is stopped on some pretext and searched for grass). There is absolutely nothingyou can do about it, unless you have a lot of money and would undertake the hassle ofappealing: for, you see, the courts are run by the mayor as well as the police.Anytime you participate in a downtown demonstration, other than a broad-basedpeace march with lots of suburban moms and dads, be prepared to be hit on the head,gassed, maced, busted, or all four.Parking TicketsOn campus, if your car is registered, your academic registration can be barred somemonths hence if you don’t pay the fine. Pay up. (What are you messing up the campuswith your car for anyway?)Off campus, if you have out-of-state plates you can tear up your ticket and get awaywith it. If you have Illinois plates, pay. They round up in-state scofflaws on a spotbasis, and if they get you, what with accumulated fines, you’ve had it.Food and DrinkIn about a month, the Grey City Journal, the Maroon’s magazine, will carry acomplete restaurant guide. Until then, this should tide you over:Places To Get Your Parents To Take You and Your Girlfriend ToThe Bakery, 2218 North Lincoln. Informal, no menus, superb French cooking, in anunlikely place (a former harness shop). Good selection of wines, but you can bring yourown and pay a quarter for set-ups. $6-7. Open 5-11. Closed Sunday and Mon¬day. .. .Pump Room, Ambassador East Hotel, Goethe and North State. High Hollywood.Lots of flambee, elegant people. Etraight out of the thirties. $8 and up. . . . Bigg’s, 1150North Dearborn (at Elm). An elegant old mansion. Escape. Prix fixe about $8 plusdrinks and tips of course. Closed Monday.Places To Take Your Girlfriend ToCafe Bohemia, 138 South Clinton (at Adams). Huge porterhouse steaks, roast duck.Also elk, moose, venison, bear, buffalo, hippopatamus, beaver, pheasant, mallard duck,whale, sea turtle, and northern Artie char, none of which are recommended, unless youare tripping. No reservations for two; prepare to wait at the generous bar. Reasonable.Closed Sunday... Bruna’s Cafe, 2424 South Oakley. Very Italian, in a Tuscan neighbor¬hood. Reasonable... .Bravermans’s,1604 West Chicago. A real delicatessan. Eggcreams!!! Mr. Braverman says, “If I had you at my home I couldn’t treat you anybetter”... .Tai Sam Yon, 1381 East 63rd. Best Chinese restaurant in town. Cheap.(Walk to it in groups of four or six.) Closed Monday. .. .Bratislava, 2527 North Clark.Tiny, Czechoslovakian. Cheap. Closed Thursday.(How to get there: Take a Taxi. What the hell.)Where to Eat in Hyde Park if You Are Somehow Trapped HereStation JBD in the old Picadilly Hotel on Hyde Park (51st) is the best restaurant inHyde Park. Good prime ribs. Moderate prices... .The Eagel, Blackstone off 53rd, hasgood steak sandwiches, hamburgers, cheesecake, coffee... .The Medici Coffee House,in the Green Door Bookstore on 57th. Filling hamburgers. Good coffee. Not exactlycheap... .If you are sick in bed, Ribs N’ Bibs, 53rd and Dorchester, delivers barbecueribs, fried chicken, and sandwiches. Sometimes good; quality varies from day to day.DrinkJimmy’s, 55th and Woodlawn, The hangout. Loud saloon atmosphere. Schlitz on tap(No Bud ever since sometime after the war Budweiser raised its prices ahead ofeveryone else, which pissed off Jimmy)... .Eagle, Blackstone off 53rd.

The First PresbyterianChurch has lent the gnng its facilities and TWO has worked with it as a memberorganization, while the Rangers have kept the neighborhood “cool” on such occasionsas the aftermath of Martin Luther King’s assassination and have tried to maintain anuneasy peace with the Disciples. Now known as part of the Black P. Stone Nation, theRangers pursue causes such as those TWO marched and picketed over in its organizingdays, mostly recently a demand for more building trades jobs for Negroes. That theentire community is willing to uplift itself from apathy was clear when residents votedin 1967 to ban liquor sales on a stretch of 63rd St. once containing 14 liquor stores andbars, now awaiting urban renewal.The University now fully understands that the forces of black self-determinationand not those of its own imperialism or colonialism should be allowed to make Wood¬lawn into a happy, safe neighbor. In a complete reversal of roles since 1960, Julian Levinow regards TWO President Arthur M. Brazier warmly, considers TWO the neighbor¬hood’s most representative stabilizing force, and opposes Daley machine efforts to rulethe area from City Hall through divide-and-conquer policies. Besides, by working withTWO Chicago shows the nation that unlike Columbia and other universities it getsalong with its adjacent ghetto community, attracts more faculty, students, and fundsfor urban research, and demonstrates its concern for its black neighbor to skepticalstudents. Morality and expediency have coincided in the University’s evolving relationship with Woodlawn, the new focal point of interest — but there is as yet little groundfor prediction of where the community and the relationship are headed.Jeffrey Kuta, 1967-68 editor of The Maroon and a member of the Law School’sentering class, has spent the last two summers as a research assistant at the Centerfor Urban Studies.*•#-mUM Jr; U. of C.

Do Not Collect $20By Steve CookRegistering this year was a bit like play¬ing monopoly, and the chances of gettingdone in two hours were about the same aslanding on Boardwalk and Park Place.Blue cards, section tickets, green cards, IDi cards — at least Community Chest paid you| ten dollars for winning a beauty contest.Of course, there were ways to beat theodds. Three students spent Monday nighton the quads with a bottle of wine and theirbedrolls. The wine lasted all night and theywere the first in line Tuesday morning. By10:30 a.m. they were done with the regis¬trar and ready for another bottle.According to Mr. Albert Hayes, the regis¬trar. this year’s registration procedure willprobably not be used again in the future.The old method of upperclass pre-registra¬tion in the spring was not used this yearbecause of major curriculum changes inseveral divisions.When the changes had not been workedout by the end of spring quarter last year, then Dean of the College Wayne Booth de¬cided that upperclassmen would have toregister from scratch this fall.Hayes said, “The mechanics (of gettingregistered) have worked very well for theupperclassmen, and freshmen seem to begetting along all right.” But the new pro¬cess required “a good bit of planning” forthe registrar’s office and the hiring of some30 to 40 students.But for those with busy advisers or oldforgotten library fines, registration couldbe rough. “I’ve got this feeling that theyreally don’t want me here,” complainedone student who owed Harper Library $40.Two days after he was due to register thestudent reappeared, shaking his head andmuttering as he gathered registration tick¬ets.Four rooms in Cobb were commandeeredby the Registrar for giving out section tick¬ets. “We thought it would be easier on thestudents to go to Cobb for their tickets rath¬er than Bartlett gym,” said Hayes.

How¬ever, “pushers have a lot to worry about,”he said.The University is part of a statewide planto enroll 50 narcotics agents as students onsix Illinois campuses where drug use isjudged to be a problem.Agents are apparently young and easilyable to fit in with students, according toWare. Several agents are students whocame to the narcotics control division forsummer jobs and are continuing to workduring the school year. Others, however,are enrolling as new students this fall, headded.As far as Chicago is concerned, a Univer¬sity official speculated that undercoveragents were already enrolled in the univer¬sity, since prospective agents would havehad to apply to the university severalmonths ago in order to enroll this autumn— probably before the present plan waseven formulated.The university can do nothing if it dis¬covers that one of its students is an under¬cover agent, except, said Dean of StudentsCharles O’Connell, “advise him to get offthe campus.” Any discovery of an undercover agent,however, will not be the first for the Uni¬versity. During the summer Jerry Kirk, aChicago student, was exposed as an under¬cover FBI agent when he appeared beforea hearing of the House Committee on Inter¬nal Security (HUAC’s successor). Kirk hadparticipated in several sit-ins and had at¬tended Students for a Democratic Society(SDS) meetings.Both administrators and students ques¬tion the need for narcotics agents oncampus. O’Connell said that there was noevidence of an increase in the use of drugson campus. Furthermore, one studentstated that the durg traffic here hasdwindled considerably during the past ninemonths. “I think they ought to go home,”he said. “Nobody’s doing anything terriblybad.”As far as drug dealers in Hyde Park areconcerned, several students feel that thereis little reason to become upset “Only thevery stupid dealers will be affected bythis,” said Roger Black, a fourth year stu¬dent in the College. “Most narc agents canbe spotted; they aren’t real people. They’refake. Most dealers will avoid them; onlythe blatant dealers who try to sell drugs onthe street will get caught.”One dealer, a fourth year student, dis¬agreed. “Narcs are smart enough to actlike regular cool-headed people,” he said.“There might be a hassle.” Nevertheless, he feelsbat many pushers are not worriedabout tht infiltration of agents on campus.“You ju;t have to be careful,” he said.“Don’t s 11 to anyone you don’t know. Nottoo man; people are uptight around hereanyway.’Several students who are highly involvedwith dm; s however, are apparently very“uptight’ and consequently refused to talkto the M; roon. “It’s not just one law thatmakes ki Is uptight,” one student said, re¬ferring tc the placement of the agents oncampuses “It’s the whole really tense situ¬ation.”One stui ent feared that the infiltration ofnarc ager s would destroy the Universitycommunity. “This sort of thing breeds sus¬picion anc mistrust,” he said. “People willnever be a : open now as they used to be.”“The qu stion of how far a state can en¬force its iiw without inflicting upon therights of the individual,” as one student de¬scribed it. appears to be another factorwhich dist. rbs students. In fact, one “non-head, non-lealer that’s interested in free¬dom and l o government or establishmentshit” has p>sted an announcement offeringa $100 reward to anyone who “publicly re¬veals (and proves) any narc or narcs oncampus.”The Illinc is division of the American CivilLiberties Union (ACLU) has reacted toContinued on Page 13 versity acquisition in die 60th-Cottaiban Renewal Project, for the purpconstructing housing.The University will also make tern]loans to TWO of up to $500,000.
