In terms of our most visibleresources, faculty and courses, the Collegehas an embarassment of riches. Despite oursometimes sense that the College is somefraction of the total undergraduate en¬terprise, a glance at the Time Schedule willreveal more than a thousand course op¬portunities staffed by several hundredmembers of the faculty. There are otherpossibilities as well: reading courses, in¬dependent research, graduate courses thatare open to you and the like, not to speak ofsimply taking the time to meet with afaculty member in his or her office andtalking over something of mutual interest.The atletic programs, especially at theintramural level, continue to expand and allwill be enhanced by the facilities in the new addition of the Shoreland which, whencompleted, will add immeasurably to ourspace for a variety of extra-curricularpursuits, grows more effective each year asdoes the almost endless list of activities,festivals and clubs to which you can relate.We have learned to take full advantage ofour setting within a great University andthriving city which provides resources thatwould not be available if we went it alone.In part my delight stems from the factthat we share the thrill of beginning, you asnew students, I as the new Dean. It would bemy hope, although I suspect that the chancemay have already been lost, that we couldboth find ways to hang on to the novelty of itall for just a little while. Every institution,quite properly, is bound to its history andtraditions; our College is no exception.Every institution needs to refresh itselfperiodically, to break away from its past ifonly to earn the right to return to it withnewly gained respect and confidence.Again, our College is no exception.

But this depends, in part,on our being able to keep alive ourcapacities for asking naive questions, forresisting the wise counsel that our hopes andexpectations are impracticable and im¬politic.You will rapidly discover that there isoften a hidden topic behind all our richlyvaried curricula, a question which lies deepbelow every important articulation — andthat is the College itself. What is it? Whatought it to be? It is a question that none of usshould answer too quickly. It must beworked at and dreamed about. Because aCollege, if the word is to have any meaningat all, implies the presence of colleagues, itmust be worked on in public, it must bedreamed aloud.This sort of conversation is a part of thejoy of College, but it ought not to substitutefor all the other kinds of joy I wish for eachof you: the joys of friendship and caring, of I ? ikplay and adventure, of attempting anaachieving, of discovery and inquiry.Jonathan Z. SmithSeptember 20,1977Mr Smith assumed the post of dean of theCollege in June.

Theoriginal idea of a college hadalready developed into the idea of aUniversity; and with every day, itmight truly be said, the idea of aUniversity grew higher and deeper.William Rainey Harper“First Annual Report of thePresident” 189:*,(unpublished)One enters the University of Chicago withan awareness of its eminence. The specificsof its distinction are, for many enteringstudents, at best vague a general sense,perhaps, of a reputation for distinguishedscholarship and educational innovationThe gray eminence of the University’squadrangles provide eloquent visual con¬firmation that here indeed is a place of nosmall undertakings The University campus- like the city of Chicago — greets thenewcomer with an architectural splendordoubly impressive when it is - as is stilloften the case - unexpected.Imposing as reputation and place may be,however, both provide only background andsetting for the exigencies of present activityand achievement. The meaning of mem¬bership in this University community thusbecomes a pressing and individual matterfor each of its constituents. The fact that oneis at the University of Chicago does notconfer instant distinction Nor can theeminence of the University, or a sense thatit has had an illustrious past, serve as abuffer against the often taxing, often ex¬citing demands required of those affiliatedwith it. At the same time, participation inthe life of this institution involves one -whether consciously or not —• in the par¬ticularity and uniqueness which hasdeveloped during the eighty-six years of theUniversity’s existence. The University thatone encounters today presents a far dif¬ferent sight from the some ten acres ofswampy land containing the handful ofunfinished buildings which the faculty andstudent community of some seven hundredencountered in October of 1892. And yetthere is more substance than hyperbole inthe assertion that when the University cameinto being it was already a distinguished andunique institutionThe founding of the University was notonly a beginning but a renewal - as issymbolized by the phoenix on the Univer¬sity’s seal and coat-of-arms. It is rooted intwo older institutions, one of which failed,the other of which prospered. Thebankruptcy of the small Baptist collegewhich called itself a university provided anexample of mismanagement and gave riseto the hope that a solid institution of higherlearning might be reestablished in Chicago;the success of the Baptist seminary broughtChicago’s educational needs to the attentionof a wealthy and devoted layman, .John DRockefeller. Larger denominational con¬cerns played a part in the founding of a newuniversity: questions of religious growthwere intertwined with rivalry betweendiffering conceptions of higher education -Was the new institution to be undergraduateor graduate in nature9 - as well as rivalryover the advantages of prospective sitesWashington, D C, New York, or Chicago Ofcritical importance was what WilliamRainey Harper retrospectively described in1893 as “the question whether there was asufficiently high ideal of what a Universityought to be...and whether even granting theexistence of this ideal, there was incomeenough to realize it.” The founding of TheUniversity of Chicago tells the story of howthat question came to be answered in theaffirmative.An observer, casually viewing theeducational institutions sponsored byChicago’s Baptist community in the early1860’s, might well have assumed that theywere flourishing and secure The“University of Chicago,” founded in 1856 onland given by Senator Stephen A Douglas, had just completed its imposing VictorianGothic building on Chicago’s near southside. A theological school - the BaptistUnion Theological Seminary - was beingorganized in conjunction with the Univer¬sity. Both institutions were, in fact, inserious financial difficulty. After theChicago Fire of 1871, and a series ofrecessions which closely followed, thefinancial condition of both University andSeminary became precarious. TheSeminary appointed a young Chicagominister, Thomas W Goodspeed, as itsfinancial secretary, and, under his direc¬tion, endowment significantly increased Atthe same time, a generous gift of land inMorgan Park, Illinois induced the Seminaryto move In 1879, the Seminary furtherenhanced its reputation when WilliamRainey Harper, who had received his Ph Dfrom Yale at the age of 18, joined thefaculty Goodspeed continued his fund-raising efforts, and in 1882, made theacquaintance of John D. Rockefeller whocontributed $100,000 to the school andagreed to serve as vice-president of itsBoard of Trustees Although the condition ofthe Seminary improved, that of theUniversity declined In spite of its name, theUniversity had little appeal for mostChicagoans. Burdened by an inept anddivided administration, and a huge debt(incurred largely by the building of DouglasHall), the University went bankrupt in 1886In an attempt to revive the institution, thetrustees offered the presidency to WilliamRainey Harper Harper declined; he electedinstead to accept a professorship at Yale.By 1887 the educational endeavors ofChicago’s Baptists seemed bleak TheUniversity had failed and the Seminary hadlost its most distinguished scholar.Significant developments were taking placenationally, however Pressure to establish adenominational agency to direct Baptistresources to new and existing schools andcolleges resulted in the organization of theAmerican Baptist Education Society in 1888Its executive director was a clergymanfrom Minnesota - Frederick T. Gates Ashis first task. Gates began a thoroughexamination of the denomination’seducational needsThe events of the following year were toprove critical. The Drincioal actors in the year long drama were Gates, Goodspeed,Harper, and at a distance, but a crucialone - Rockefeller In spite of uncertainties,disagreements, and one or two unpleasantsurprises, their plan evolved through ex¬tensive correspondence and occasionalmeetings in Chicago, New Haven, and NewYorkAs a result of the study of the educationalneeds of his denomination, Gates foundhimself confronted by two conclusions and adilemma The first conclusion was that themost promising location for the establish¬ment of an institution of higher learning wasChicago. Chicago was the center of a regionexperiencing phenomenal growth aregion, moreover, woefully deficient inBaptist schools. His second conclusion wasthat what was needed was a major center oflearning. He publicly stated his views inChicago on October 15,1888:The first and most important, as itseems to me, is to found a greatcollege, ultimately to be aUniversity, In Chicago We need inChicago an institution with an en¬dowment of several millions withbuildings, library, and other ap¬pliances equal to any on the con¬tinent Such an institution shouldbe located in Chicago, because thiscity is the most commanding,social, financial, literary, andreligious eminence in thewest Between the Allegheny andthe Rocky Mountains there is not tobe found another city in which suchan institution as we need could beestablished or if established couldbe maintained and enlarged, or ifmaintained could achieve wideinfluence or retain supremacyamong usGates' audience was astonished Hithertomany of them - with the exception of a fewmen like Goodspeed had envisioned aChicago university as a matter of localconcern; Gates had placed it in a nationalcontext and presented it as adenominational imperativeIf the vision was formidable, so were theobstacles Chicago's Baptists had beendemoralized by the failure of the universitv; wealthy laymen, in particular, werereluctant to support a new venture withoutsubstantial guarantees of its success Asthey told Gates, if Rockefeller as thedenomination’s wealthiest man were tomake a sizeable gift, then they would bewilling to contribute But Gates knew thatRockefeller would only be willing to aidChicago if strong focal support wasevidenced. This was the dilemma each sidewanted the other to make the first moveGates’ proposal was “extraordinarilyimpressive,” Goodspeed wrote Harper,because it was the considered opinion of adenominational official with no particularallegiance to Chicago That same monthHarper had discussed various educationalproposals with Rockefeller who was, hethought, very receptive to the idea of auniversity at Chicago A consensus seemedto be growing; how then could it become adefinite plan of action9Two steps seemed desirable Rockefellerhad expressed great interest in the ac¬tivities of the American Baptist EducationSociety. On more than one occasion he hadwritten to Gates: “lam disposed more andmore to give only through organizedagencies.” Official sanction of the Chicagoproposal seemed, therefore, highlydesirable. Furthermore, Gates and Good-speed were convinced that if Harper couldbe induced to accept the presidency of thenew institution. Rockefeller would be fur¬ther inclined to sponsor it Accordingly.Gates presented the proposal to establish anew university in Chicago at the December.1888 meeting of the Education Society andthe board approved it as the organization’sfirst priority. The second step regardingHarper- suffered a setback howeverA possible threat to the establishment of aChicago university had been posed for sometime bv a prominent eastern clergyman. DrAugustus A Strong For some years Stronghad been advocating a pet project: theestablishment of a $20,000,000 Baptistuniversity in New York to be devoted solelyto graduate study Strong’s son had marriedone of Rockefeller’s daughters, and he sawin this family connection, the means ofcreating his educational dream Those in¬volved in the Chicago project had beencareful to assure Strong that a newuniversity in Chicago would not pose athreat to his own plans In December. 1888Strong read through the notes his daughterhad taken in a class Harper taught once aweek at Vassar Grave doubts arose in hismind as to the orthodoxy of the Yaleprofessor, and he drafted a letter to Harperasking him to explain questionable doctrinalpoints. Strong sent a copy of this letter toRockefeller This otherwsie inexplicablegesture was seen by the proponents of theChicago universitv as an attempt todiscredit that enterprise Harper was upsetand sought to disassociate himself from theChicago plans in order not to compromisethem, he categorically refused to accept thepresidency of the proposed university.Strong’s charges did nothing to alterRockefeller's esteem for Harper and if amdamage was done it was to Strong himselfAt the same time, however, the EducationSociety’s endorsement of the plan did nohave the desired effect Indeed. Rockefelleiseemed more reticent than ever to take theinitiative Why9 Gates came to feel tha!Rockefeller was backing away from theidea of establishing a major university inChicago Accordingly, Gates wrote toRockefeller proposing that the EducationSociety establish a strong college inChicago If this plan were successful, thenthe question of a university, in the propersense, could be taken up later Harper, nowno longer a candidate for the presidency,and Goodspeed. seconded the proposalRockefeller invited Gates to discuss theFounding to 8.Albert M Tannler is on the staff of TheDepartment of Special Collections, theJoseph Regenstein Library Illustrationsaccompanying this article are taken fromOne In Spirit: A Retrospective View of theUniversity of Chicago < 197:1).Friday, September 23, 1977 5The Chicago Maroon>C K K I F.l.I.K l<Of critical importance was what William RaineyHarper retrospectively described in 1893 as "thequestion . . . whether there was a sufficiently high idealof what a University ought to be .. . and whether evengranting the existence of this ideal, there was incomeenough to realize it." The founding of the University ofChicago tells the story of how that question came to beanswered in the affirmative.W:.y ■ ' v v •/. ■ ;Reflections on liberal educationBy Jon Meyer sohnMuch mat uehneu «uu separated theCollege at the University of Chicago in itsyears under Robert Maynard Hutchins as abastion of liberal education has changed.Cone are the 14 required sequences everyCollege student labored under. Gone is therhetoric about creating a better and moreinformed citizenry Gone is the belief that acertain corpus of works, known as the GreatBooks, constitute a finite amount ofknowledge that every student should knowand understand. Gone is the belief in thewholeness and unity of knowledge in alldisciplines and the emphasis on in¬terdisciplinary study.But, though pre-professionalsim isrampant in colleges today and moststudents do not go to college to becomebetter or more informed people, thereseems to remain a certain commitment toundergraduate education at Chicago thatcannot be found at any other school Theemphasis on original texts, on being taughtby senior faculty, on analysis in every fieldand on the interplay between the Collegeand University, characterize the College asdifferent from any otherThe Maroon has attempted to discoverfrom what peculiar tradition that com¬mitment came from, and whether it stilldoes exist The College, if it is indeed run byits, or the University’s faculty, neverswayed far from its curriculum of generalundergraduate liberal education, even inthe Ws Certainly, there have been greatchanges, but we asked some professors howsubstantial those changes have been, andwhether the College is still recognizablydifferent from other colleges. Loraa Strauss, associate professor ofanatomy and dean of students in thecollege.was a student in the Hutchins College fortwo years.• I remember that the most important thingabout being a student here was that thefaculty really seemed to take us seriously. Iwas enormously proud of having readoriginal sources The teachers seemedgreatly committed to undergraduateteaching, and that was very exciting. I don’tthink it’s any different now. If the purpose ofeducation then was to teach students how tothink and to analyze material, then thoseare certainly the same goals now Of course,much has changed, but the basic premisesof general education remain. It is, and was,not the amount of knowledge that one canattain, but how one attains it that matters.The difference, of course, is that we had nochoice about what we took, except in foreignlanguage, but the College is still here toteach people how to think.I think that the changes have been how weteach things now. especially in science,which has moved forward enormously in thelast 20 years, but we are still trying to teachthe non-scientist in a core course how ascientist thinks There is less of thehistorical development of science, less ofthe commonality, but we are still involvedwith analysis.We were probably arrogant little beastsback then, because we were told that wewere somehow different, but we did believethat we were lucky to be here There wasundoubtablv a real group arrogance.Maynard Kreuger, retired professor ofeconomics in the College, taught in theCollege since the ’40’s.Some of the interviewees were here in theheyday of Hutchins College while otherswere not. All were chosen because they havestrong ideas about liberal education andundergraduate teaching. We hope they willbe able to help the entering freshman, aswell as the seasoned student who hasstruggled through a couple of years of corecourses and the rest, to understand why wedo what we doEdward Rosenheim, professor of English andthe College, has been at Chicago for 42years. He taught one of the humanities corecourses for many years.* I think what separates the College hereand what always has is that we take un¬dergraduate teaching so very seriously.This has nothing to do. especially now, witha particular stated system of doctrine, butdepends always on a faculty and studentbody who are committed to teaching andwho are serious in a very high-spirited wayThis means that what a curriculum, afaculty, or a set of theories looks like at anyone time here is basically unimportantCertainly, things have changed in the timeI’ve been here on a curricular level, butsome things, namely the belief in teaching,don’t changeIn 1947 we had the monolithic 14 requiredcourses That looks pretty silly now, but itwas, I think, a very good thing then So,though the external structure may change,what remains, for me and for manyprofessors, is the joy o( teaching un¬dergraduates The thought that goes intothat is enormous, because it has survived‘‘here is very little show biz in teachinghere, very little of thf specializededucational forms on a college level, but weare earnest in our commitment to suchthings as original sources, exposure *ofundergraduates to graduate students, andme like6- The Chicago Maroon - F r »day, September ?3, * The idea <h after a! undergraduateeducation is less completely different fromother schools than it once was, but it stillsubstantially different. Though there cannever be another Hutchins College, not thatI’m sure we would ever want one. educationhere is still affected by that era and theCollege here is certainly a hell of a lot dif¬ferent from other colleges The ’30’s and’40's were undoubtablv a time of great in¬tellectual vitality, simply because in¬tellectual questions occupied people ineverything they did This can’t be repeatedIt was a marvelous time, but I can’t say whyI know that Hutchins alone didn’t make itthat way, though he obviously had a lot to dowith it.Of course, there were weaknesses in thattime, simply because it tended to be sodogmatic. That dogmatism andsinglemindedness about education is gone,I’m glad to say. because there was a certainawful arrogance among the students andfaculty. They lust knew they were betterthan anyone else. The students were toldthat and they began to regard themselves assuperior, which is very dangerous WhenHutchins told them that, -you are closer tothe truth now than you will ever be,” theybelieved it too much As such, a great dealof the vengeance later bestowed on theCollege after Hutchins left was directly areaction against that arrogance. Thosestudents, the ones who believed they werebetter, became pretty unbearable to livewithHarry Harootunian, Max Palevksyprofessor of history and civilizations andchairman of Far Eastern studies program,taught the Social Science core course “Self,Culture and Society” and helped design theyear-old core sequence, Problems ofCivilization. ” He came to the University in1973 I *•Mv own feeling is that you can probably>977 get a oetter undergraduate education herethan at just about any school that I can thinkof Other schools, as they go back more andmore to general undergraduate education,and many are moving back to it, seem to bekind of reinstituting what we have herealready.The real differences between the old andthe new, between those who were par*the Hutchins era and those who grewup in a different time, is that we arenot really committed to an idea of acommon core. We believe in liberaleducation, but not necessarily in thatabsolute commonality.There are an awful lot of people here whoare still committed to an idea of com¬monality, but that commonality really doesreveal something of an earlier time. Therewas a kind of optimism about the unity ofknowledge and so on. Sciences have longabandoned that conception, and this isreflected in the science curriculum at theundergraduate level.Without the belief in commonality,Chicago has maintained its commitment toundergraduate education by offeringabroader range of possibilities. In otherwords, to know the classics of westernthought is not the only way to become aneducated person. You can offer peoplesubstitutes or alternatives in a number ofareas. There are a number of possibilitiesbecause there are a number of areas thatcontain classic works, or to which theclassic works we read now can be applied. Iam refering now to my own field. FarEastern civilizations, where certainwestern thinkers, such as Weber and Hegelcan be used effectively. We can maintainthe form of an educational curriculum, thegoals of it, while still making some seriouschanges.The content of some of these core coursesshould be open-ended, it seems to me,though not necessarily the form I’m againstanything that would undermine the seriousintent behind the form: the reading of texts,discussion, writing. No matter where we goor how we change, these are the basics ofliberal education at Chicago and whatcharacterize it as unique.1 think students are much more serioushere, and are much more argumentative.You get a very large number of studentswho are already committed to the idea ofintellectual life. This is unique, because Isee it much more here than any other in¬stitution I’ve had experience with’. That maybe because of their backgrounds, butwhatever the reason, I enjoy teachingstudents like that.Ralph Lemer, professor of social science inthe College, went to the College in the 1940’s.He teaches a core sequence, “PoliticalOrder and Change.’’• When I went to the College 1 thought itwas the worthiest thing I’d done in my life Iwas imbued with a sense that the studentshere were somehow on the top of the worldin every way, and that a special care andattention was devoted to us. We reallymattered, and there was a great sense ofoptimism Now, that’s pretty heavy stuff,but there really was a tremendously highmorale That sense was physically present,something I can only describe as a sense ofpersonal salvation It’s as though some mysterious act ofgrace had descended upon us. That was mygeneral outlook, and though there were ofcourse day-to-day disadvantages and greatfrustrations and unpleasantness, there wasalso a sense of morale that sustained itself.The professors were not morally superior,but they seemed to us to hold some moralkey that would open both personal and in-tAllArftiAi HonrsNot the least of that feeling was due to acertain tone that Hutchins instilled in thewhole thing. He was a kind of prostelytizer.Whatever trouble he had engendering thatkind of zeal in the faculty, and God knowsthere was great hostility toward him andsome sense of relief when he left, with thestudents he was an overwhelming success,He was a persuasive man, a beautiful, at¬tractive man. He was a presence. We feltthat also because he flattered students byappealing to the best in them That soundsheavy, but we were reading great stuff. Wethought we were very fortunate indeed, andwe were sure we hadn’t made the wrongchoice The tone was the most importantthing of all. We felt we were doing whatmattered most.Now-, in this time, we still hold on to that,but we hold onto mostly the pretension ofgeneral education. By pretension I mean theoral tradition, the words and the works. Ofcourse there is still a great commitment,but what comes to be important to us is thatwe say to ourselves that liberal education isimportant, and therefore it is important.This can cause some embarrassment,because even in changing times, and alltimes are changing, we don’t want to act outof step with that pretension. Liberaleducation is a tradition we feel bound touphold. It still has meaning, and I’m surethis is a better school for upholding thoseideals, but it is also a more troubled schoolfor itBecause we haven’t always, particularlyin the Ws, given in to students demands formore jazzy curricula we haven’t totallyevaded, as other colleges have, theresponsibility to that tradition In this highlyimperfect world, that says somethingThe changes, though, do seem large. Whathasn’t changed is the basic premise that weall, faculty and student, benefit fromstudying the kinds of materials we do andthe amount of time we spend on them. In theLiberal ed to 8V.■-. - -mmHutchins and the CollegeR\/ P Don ^ ItimnriirBy Ellen ClementsAt the exact moment in their lives whenyou’d expect the youth of America to berunning off to seek freedom, life, and ad¬venture in the great world, a large numberof the accredited best-and-brightest of themare submitting themselves to the rigors of afour-year college program. Why do theybehave in this way'>The desire for a college education hasbeen variously attributed to impulsesprofessional and social, craven and in¬stinctual But in appraising the motivationsof freshmen in the cold light of realism, letus not overlook the ideal, by which all butthe coldest of undergraduates hearts mayyet be moved: I give you the romantic idealof the liberal education.Now, hearsay and collegiate brochures tothe contrary, liberal education is not exactlya time-honored tradition in the College ofthe University of Chicago. It has oftencaptured imaginations, but less frequentlycommanded policy. Liberal education is theconcern of the College, which unlike thegraduate or professional schools whoseraison d’etre is clearly to cut students to themold of the professions — has never beenquite clear about its place or purpose.The College has been threatened, atvarious times in the foggy past, withremoval from the main quadrangles to aseparate site, or with absorbtion into thehigh school system. It has been used tosupport graduate school research effortswith piles of undergraduate tuition, and tohelp graduate students along with numbersof teaching assistantships It has beendivided by year into “Academic” and“university” colleges and has beensegregated by sex when administratorsyearned to put it on par with elite easterncolleges. Tuition monies or no, the Col¬lege has been charged with hamperingthe University in its research mission Itspresence has been tenuously justified withthe excuse that the College is after all asocial and educational experiment worthyof University attentions. And even inperiods of relative balance between theneeds of the College and those of thegraduate and professional schools such asthat which we currently enjoy — the Collegeis caught between the conflicting demandsof research and professionalization andthose of basic liberal education, between theinsistence that faculty members researchand publish, or perish, and the desire thatthey should be able to teach “teachstudents, not subjects.”But the College has had its moments, thebrightest of them being the period 1929-1951,in which the darfng young man Hutchinspulled the College out of joint with the rest ofthe American educational system andbrought it to prominence And what timesthose were, by all accounts Life crawled outof walls in Hyde Park, which had yet to betidied up by the urban renewal efforts of the’50’s. The streets were crisscrossed withstreet cars, crowded with blues bars,drugstores, bookstores, miscellaneousdives. Mass retirement of faculty many ofwhom had been with the University sincenear its beginnings — in the thirtiesprovided the University the chance to packdepartments with the brilliant men whowere just then fleeing developments inEurope T. S Eliot and Bertrand Russell didtime on the faculties, Carl .Jung regretfullydeclined an invitation. The likes of GertrudeStein and Lillian Gish stopped in to visitclasses. Enrico Fermi presided over thefirst self-sustaining nuclear chain reactionunder the stands of the football field. ThePresident of the University taught a fresh¬man courseIn 1929, the very young man RobertMaynard Hutchins stepped into the savorychaos that was Hyde Park He wasthirty years old His meteoric rise hadbegun a few years before, at Yale, where hehad been successively, undergraduate (A.B.‘21), Secretary of the University, (1923), lawschool grad C25) law school lecturer C25),professor C27), and dean ('28). He wasr,very tall and very straight and veryhandsome and very wry ” Along with himcame his also handsome young wife, thesculptress Maude Phelps Hutchins who atvarious times titillated faculty memberswith Christmas cards featuring her sket¬ches of her nude, pubescent daughters, andoutraged them with lectures on andexhibitions of "corttentless artDapper Hutchins barely took the time to take off his topcoat before he was makingfree with the executive perogatives of thePresident of the University of Chicagowhich up until his tenure had remained asvery significant and sound as first presidentHarper had set them out to be. Within a few-months of ms arrival, he reorganizedUniversity administrative procedure anddivided the departments into the divisions ofthe physical, biological and social sciences,and the humanities. With his friend andprotege Mortimer Adler (at the time all of 27years old) he imported Erskine’s GreatBooks course from Columbia University andattempted to “pack” the department ofphilosophy with Adler’s colleaguesStringfellow Barr, V. ,J. McGill, andRichard McKeon. Adler lectured socialscientists on “The Social Scientists’Misconception of Science,” and Hutchinssoon was proselytizing for generaleducation. More than any other charac¬teristic, the ruddy-cheeked arrogance of in the great ideas of the western world asfound in its great books.College education would begin with thejunior year of high school - giving a point toyears that were being spent killing time andkeeping superfluous youth off the crowdedlabor market. All students would follow oneset curriculum - created by the thoughtfuldeliberations of their intellectual superiors.The curriculum would lead them throughthe great ideas in the humanities, naturaland social sciences There would be no more“academic bookkeeping” of the systemunder which credits and course hours werecounted up to the appropriate number atwhich point a degree was issued Therewould be no more required class at¬tendance. Students would move through thecurriculum at their own pace, takingcomprehensive examinations to prove theirproficiency in the various subject areaswhen they felt they were ready. They wouldbe allowed to take the degree as quickly orHearsay and collegiate brochures to the contrary,liberal education is not exactly a time honoredtradition in the College. It has often capturedimaginations, but less frequently commanded policy.these bright young men who presumed soquickly to begin lecturing their elders,stands out.Hutchins favored lecture topic dealt withthe failing of American education and theirpossible remedies He accused universitiesof lacking direction. Universities lovedmoney too greatly; this caused them tocater to the passing fancies of the public forone or another sort of vocational training orthe study of this or that “current issue.”Universities entertained a confused notionof democracy in holding that nearly everysubject was equally worthy of study, andthat nearly every intellectual position wasequally plausible, even those which weremutually contradictory. This explainedtheir disorganization, and the confusions intheir curricula And universities held to afalse idea of progress which understood thatthe problems of the world could be solved bythe progress of science and the ac¬cumulation of even greater quantities ofinformation. This disregard for thetraditions of Western Reason explainedtheir unfortunate focus on teaching whatHutchins disparagingly labelled “facts”and research methods in preference to the“great ideas” and modes of thought.Hutchins did not stop at critique. He wasbrazen enough to offer a plan for thereorganization of the American collegesystem. It was his idea that the collegeyears De used to give students a grounding The accusations ofideological tyranny hurledat Hutchins tended tomisunderstand the intent ofhis program, which was notto squelch either intellectural argument ormodern science but to jointhem to the traditions ofwestern thought, miningthis heritage for perspectiveon the present.as slowly as they wished, but when it wasawarded them, it would be awarded fordemonstrated ability.Hutchins’ accusations and proposalsroused a lively furor in the scholarlyperiodicals The Maroon itself was not leftout — its staff quickly sided with thepresident and following his lead were soonlecturing the faculty on the failings of thecurriculum John Dewey, pragmatist ineducation as in all things, accused Hutchinsof trying to impose a fixed philosophy hisown personal philosophy - on Americaneducation Harry Gideonse. associateprofessor of economics at the Universityand one of Hutchins' more diligent critics,accused him of a disdain for empiricalscience, the kingpin of modern universitystructure and method, and of failing tounderstand the complexities of the researchprocess Hutchins was reminded by variousessayists that modern thinkers must look tothe facts and dilemmas of their own age,and not merely fall back on solutions founduseful in previous mileniaThe accusations of ideological tyrannyhurled at Hutchins tended to misunderstandthe intent of his program, which was not tosquelch either intellectual argument ormodern science but rather to join them tothe traditions of western thought, miningthis heritage for perspective on the presentThe Hutchins plan desired to turn un- RobeU Maynard Hutchinsdergraduate into participants in the “GreatConversation,” the heritage of westernthought.Such leadership and synthesis rules thequads no longer Those who would win aliberal education are thrown largely on theirown resources No longer does a centralissue in educational philosophy unite thecampus in controversy. Some would point tothe healthiness of a degree of anarchy. Itgives room to move, after all. and is notconducive to the growth of illusions aboutthe depth or power of one's educationOthers recall the dazzle of the Hutchins Eraand think longingly of liberal education andthe Great Ideas.Ellen Clements uas liberally educated atthe University of ChicagoMortimer Adler teaching a humanities class Adler was 27 when he started teaching at the University Milton Mayer is to his right.The Chicago Maroon Friday, September 23, 1977 7\TheUniversityfoundingfrom 5matter with him in person That thisproposal met with his approval is seen in th<letter he wrote to Harper the day before th<meeting:So many claims have pressed uponme, I have not really needed aUniversity to absorb my sur¬plus...Of late I had rather come tofeel that if Chicago could get aCollege, and leave the question of aUniversity until a later date, thatthis would be more likely to beaccomplishedUnanimity had apparently been reachedA committee of the Education Societyproposed that a well-equipped college beestablished in Chicago and that the sum of$1,000,000 be raised to endow it Rockefelleragreed to contribute $600,000 on the con¬dition that the remainder be raised fromother sources The proposal was acceptedand Rockefeller’s gift announced Within ayear the $400,000 was subscribed much ofit coming from Chicago’s non-Baptistcommunity.On June 18, 1890. The University ofChicago was incorporated The Articles ofIncorporation spoke not only of a College butalso as the name of the institution impliedof a University. The stated purpose of theinstitution is:To provide, impart and furnishopportunities for all departments ofhigher education to persons of bothsexes on equal terms, to establishand maintain one or more colleges,and to provide instruction in allcollegiate studies; to establish andmaintain a University, in whichmay be taught all branches ofhigher learningFurthermore, considering the intention tofound a Baptist institution, the religiousrequirements were very liberal Althoughthe president and two-thirds of the trusteeswere to be Baptists, ’ no other religious textor particular religious profession shall everbe held as a requisite for election to saidboard, or for admission to said University,or to any department belonging thereto orfor election to any professorship ” Thecharter committed the institution to sexualequality, to both undergraduate andgraduate education, and to an atmosphereof nonsectarianism The presidency of theUniversity, now a corporate reality, wasoffered to William Rainey HarperAt thirty-two, William Rainey HarperJiadachieved unusual eminence in the academicworld, holding two major professorships atYale His friends there told him he would bea fool to accept the presidency cf thisfledgling institution: his friends in Chicagotold him he must Goodspeed wrote: ‘noother man has been thought of from thebeginning...you are the choice of thedenomination ”In 1888 Frederick Gates had proposed agreat college, ultimately to be a University,in Chicago ” In 1889, the consensussuggested a college now; if all went well auniversity later In 1890 the University’scharter spoke of both For William RaineyHarper, the idea of a college had alreadydeveloped into the idea of a University” andit was his vision of a University that was toprove decisiveThe first step was increased endowment.As Harper wrote to Goodspeed:It does not seem possible to do whatought to be done, what thedenomination will expect, what theworld will expect, with the moneywe have in hand. There mustsomeway be an assurance of anadditional million If Mr R is deadin earnest, possibly the case will notbe so difficult as we may think.Harper discussed his plans for enlargingthe work of the University with Rockefeller8 The Chicago Maroon Friday,September 23, and on September 16. 1890, Rockefellerpledged an additional $1,000,000 forgraduate work Two days after the receiptof this letter. Harper was elected Presidentof the UniversityThe final chapter in the founding of theUniversity would encompass two more fullyears of activity. Although elected to thepresidency. Harper requested six months toconsider! It was, in fact, a working sab¬batical on behalf of the University and therewas little doubt of Harper’s final acceptanceof the office which took place on July 1, 1891the date on which the University officiallycelebrates, appropriately enough, itsfounding Harper’s first task was to set fortha detailed plan for the University in six“Official Bulletins” which appeared bet¬ween January, 1891 and May, 1892*Thereafter the abstract had to be translatedinto the concrete Faculty were recruited,books purchased, an architect appointed,plans prepared, and an additional $1,000,000building drive successfully carried out.Several features of Harper’s plan for theUniversity deserve mention. A year of fourfull academic quarters attests to theseriousness of the enterprise and itsflexibility:The student will receive hisdiploma, not because a certainnumber of years have passed and acertain day in .June arrived, butbecause his work is finishedWhether earlier or later than theordinary period of collegeeducation, it does not matterAlthough committed to both graduate andundergraduate work. Harper’s sense ofpriority was clear: ' It is agreed by all thatour first work is graduate work From thebeginning the College work of the Universityhas been recognized as something subor¬dinate to Graduate School work ” As to theimportance of the faculty, Harper wrote:It was necessary to recognize fromthe beginning that whatever mightbe the outlay for the buildings andfor equipments, the character of theUniversity depended wholly uponthe character of the men chosen tofill the chairs of instructionHarper was determined that theUniversity should begin with a distinguishedfaculty For many who came, the op¬portunity to be freed from old constraintsand methods was precisely what gave theUniversity its appeal The kind of facultyHarper desired was clear to him:It is only a man who has made in¬vestigation who can teach others toinvestigate. Promotion of youngermen in the department will dependmore largely upon the results oftheir work as investigators thanupon the efficiency of theirteaching, although the latter will byno means be overlooked In otherwords it is proposed in this in¬stitution to make the work of in¬vestigation primary, the work ofgiving instruction secondaryBy the late summer of 1892, finalpreparations were being made for theopening of classes on October 1 In mid-August Professor William Gardner Halewrote some words of encouragement to theyoung dean of women, Marion Talbot Theyare words of striking currency:My dear Miss Talbot:I hope you will turn a kind eartoward Mr Harper’s propositionsWe are going in time not instantlyto have a great University inChicago, and it seems to me it mightwell be an attractive idea to you tohelp shape its policy, at the outset,in some very important lines Andyou mustn’t think of ‘missionarywork,’ either Chicago is not whatthe average reader of Easternnewspapers imagines I went out,on my first visit, with full NewEngland prejudice; but I have cometo see how greatly likeable the placeis, and am already strongly at¬tached to a number of people Thereis life and happiness in ChicagoSincerely yours,W G Hale Liberaleducationfrom 6Hutchins tradition, we don’t simply lectureat students We seek to discover, over andover again, what is common and basic to thework We have chosen texts of intrinsicallyhigh quality that are demanding and nevertalk down to the student or the teacherBv confronting something original niauthentic, as we do here, and do mon thanany other college at the freshman aiu*sophomore level, we are saying somethingabout education We work harder, but its’worth it The things that have changed arethe value of pure study The BA today has afield of concentration attached to it whereonce it didn’t. What was once a model thing,the interdisciplinary areas of study, havenow become marginal I think this is oneshortcoming of the College. In¬terdisciplinary study is certainly not rightfor everyone, but I think it should still bemodal. Those fields are like a pick-up gameand are hard to do, but I don’t think weprovide today for the student for whom itwould be right. The College is still unique init’s commitment, but that’s one thing thathas changed.We have maintained general educationthrough acculturation, through gettinginvolved and talking about it. It is, essen¬tially, an oral tradition that has meaning formost, but may not have any real meaningfor even some of the people who talk aboutit, who have become acculturated Speech isimportant, verbal communication in classWe tell ourselves, “we are really liberaleducation,” and therefore we become thatThe predisposition is to say it’s a good thing,and that’s what I mean by pretension ofliberal education, and goodness knows wewant good thingsTo the student, liberal education mustfirst be what the guy at the front of the roomsays it is. It is a range of inquiry, a basicopenness of the implications andramifications of what is read and spoken,not something more rigid than that Maybeit was once a little more rigid, but it can’t bewhat way any more. Liberal education atthe University of Chicago is the generalsense of what this place is all about It is thetenor of the place; it is the spirit of theplace.Michael T. Ryan, Harper Fellow in history,who came to the College two yars ago fromNew York. He teaches one of the WesternCiv. sequences.• I haven’t been here for that long, but onecan immediately sense that in some waythis school is different. As long as one has atradition of a common core which is notsimply a series of courses of one or twoquarters that all kids take together so theycan talk about it, albeit that’s important,because what is stressed is the exchangeinside and outside of class. I think the publicnature of education here, though neverstressed directly, will of necessity survive.No particular lacuity member here has tosay that our purpose here is to becomebetter citizens or people, as was said in theHutchins era, but while that is unstated, oreven unthought, I think the common coreitself as a program rooted in the classics ofwestern civilization and as a sounding boardfor other matters is collectively reinforcedhereA lot of water has gone under the bridgesince the commonality of the Great Booksprogram. I know that in Western Civ.,however, there is considered to be a basiccorpus of works that we should master tobecome, how should I say, intelligent nativeinformants about our culture. On the otherhand, there is a sense present on all levels ofuniversity life around the country that thereis a problem with the whole question ofauthority. Where we perhaps once knewwhy we asked the questions we did, or evenhoped that there were answers, we knownow that there can be no real answers, andthat we all wonder, “who speaks and whosevoice does one listen to?”The University of Chicago is set apart bythat very sense of collective authority whichendures here to a remarkable extent' That agroup of faculty members can take it uponthemselves to decide that which is mostvaluable is still admirable. That’s the kindof authority that’s necessary to make acommon core sequence work, and that’s therationale behind it. That fact alone makesthe College a very different place from anyother institution in this country to my knowledge. We’re not just talking about anumber of required courses, we’re talkingabout a set of texts that in the humanitiesand social sciences reappear with somefrequency. There is a consensus aroundthose texts and the desirability of havingpeople master them.Jonathan Z. Smith, dean of the College andWilliam Benton professor of religion andhuman sciences in the College, came toChicago 10 years ago.• I guess what is unique about liberaleducation here, outside of having certainextraordinary heroes who have labored longand lovingly at it and are peculiarly ef¬fective at it is that on the face of it thereoughtn’t to be liberal education at theUniversity of Chicago. I think it’s intriguingthat there is such a thing and that there is, infact, such a preoccupation with it. We’rereally the only University in the countrythat has the peculiar proportion of un¬dergraduates to graduates that we have;four to one, five to one, whatever Wedescribe ourselves primarily as a graduateresearch institution, and that ought to be onpaper the least likely institution to worryabout the question of liberal or generaleducation. In fact, we have an absolutemania about it; there is no topic which willproduce more emotion and about whichpeople are capable of worrying, sometimescreatively, sometimes not so creatively,than that'topic.I think really that it is the setting that isunique, and has given a very peculiar cast toit. It has given a very particular kind ofpressure to how you use a faculty whoseprimary responsibility in terms of numbers,salaries and their careers are all oriented tothe graduate level and to research. How thatkind of a faculty might look at a thing thatinvolves the very opposite side of thespectrum, namely the most general kind ofeducation you can have, is fascinatingWhat is unique is that this faculty has reallybeen able to do that, to live with that funnykind of schizophrenia and nonetheless insistthat there is some relationshipMy own instinct is tnat with what ispalpably going to be the case now, withdeclining graduate enrollment and thecertainty of fewer people in the academicprofession, that we are finally free to think,in a way we never have, about what is a BAas a terminal degree In a way the economyand demography ot our nation gives us nowfor the first time in over a generation thechance to really think of this liberaleducation and BA not as a preparation, butas a degree that has integrity of its own So,I see a return to liberal education across thecountry We never left it, though we’vechanged what we mean by it, and we nowrecognize that the action ahead os us, and atevery university, is not the graduate levelthat it once wasI do not, however, believe that there is asubject matter any more called generaleducation Over the years it has beenmodified and refined to mean somethingnew. I find it errant nonsense to assume thatthere is some body of works that en¬capsulate knowledge. I would think that wehave discarded that, but we do still ask whatis general and basic about the particularthings we spend our time studying. We mayteach the same things as then, but we mustuse the material as exemplary, as “e g s”of something more general and dynamic Ineverything we, or at least I, teach, we try tofind what is basic, to look in each work forwhat is discussable about the human con¬dition and what it says about thatThere are other things that are peculiarhere that foster a college in sometimesincalculable ways. The fact that this funnycampus we’re on is so small and that somany of us Vive in Hyde Park may have a lot' more to do with the success of the Collegeand the interest in general education thanany mind or any book or any committee hasever done The fact that none of us can gelaway from one another, that we are compressed and isolated on the south side olChicago and not spread out along the banksof some Newr England river may have a lotto do with our unique attitude toward liberaleducation We have to interact with oneanother, and because we do have to, weinteract on the level of what is general andwhat is basic That has an enormous effectAlmost socially, that we are so compressed,contributed to something special.Undergraduate education here involvesusing everything as exemplary ofsomething. That to me is what generaleducation is; the use of material not as a setof introductions, but as a set of examplesAnd I do think that is unique to the College atthe University of ChicagoGwenCatesAdn>ii>istratioi>D.

At theUniversity of Chicago, this will be evidentsooner than you think. On Student ActivitiesNight, the Sunday before autumn quarterbegins, Sept. 25, Ida Noyes Hall will bepacked to capacity. Lines start formingbefore dawn the day Chicago Symphonytickets go on sale. Gym lockers becomescarce so quickly that many people storetheir shorts and athletic shoes in librarylockers, which are usually available far intothe quarter.Procrastination comes easily, especiallywhen one has a lot of work Books pile up onstudents’ desks; papers mount on teachers’.It is far easier to become involved in someother kind of activity; romance, carousing,cavorting and late-night conversations thatend, unresolved, in the early morning arecollege favorites. One upperclassman ad¬mits, “My first year I spent so much timebragging about how hard I worked, it’s awonder I did any studying at all.”Even here academics are only a part ofeducation. Student non-academic activities,organized and personal, provide crucialexperience and exposureBut, the University offers little in¬ducement to engage in such activities.Sometimes it appears faculty members goout of their way to pressure students to dojust the opposite. Professors generouslyassign lengthy readings, difficult papertopics and comprehensive exams, barelyentertaining the thought that students takeother rigorous courses, let alone lead, in¬dependent private lives. Recently agraduate student, a rel'gously dedicatedstudent who has litle time for anything buthis studies and a few close friends, con¬fessed he had four incompletes. Amazed, Iasked him how this was possible. He an¬swered, “In our department it is common tohave five or six incompletes; four is doingextremely well.”To quote every school catalogue everwritten, college is what you make of it. Onlya small nest of students choose to live intheir books and carrels. Last year CORSO,the Committee on Organized RegisteredStudent Organizations, listed 44 groupswhich requested financial support Thisyear the list of organization^ can only belonger On any given weekend this year, a studentwill be faced with a multitude of activities.During the week, several rooms in IdaNoyes are already booked by a wide varietyof student groups.

In My Own Way.“The title of your book, Mr Watts, ”Studshalf-whispered in his earnest voice, “refersto the fact that you have always lived yourlife freely, always doing things the way youbelieved you should. ”To which Watts laughed and replied,“Well, actually, I think of the title asdescribing how, no matter what I was doing,I always seemed to be getting in my ownway. ”Were the city of Chicago ever to pen itsown autobiography, there is little doubt thatWatts’ title would be appropriate: Chicagois a city of complex internal contradictions,‘a city that definitely goes about things “inits own way” in every sense of the phrase.The city’s perverse character comesthrough in all of its aspects — its music, itsart, its writing, its government, even in itsathletic teams but perhaps no singleaspect has been more conspicuous (in bothsuccess and failure) that have been thecity’s endeavors in architecture and ur¬ban planning From the multi-million dol¬lar failure of its vertical sums and thedisorganization on a grand scale of itsrailroads and public transportation, to thebeauty of Daniel Burnam’s city planningand the success of the architectural in¬novations of homes designed by FrankLloyd Wright to the John Hancock Building,Chicago's architectural activity has beenauspicious, to say the leastLast month’s publication of a paperbackedition of Carl Condit’s CHICAGO: building,Planning, and Urban Technology(University of Chicago Press) gives bothnewcomers and old time cesidents a chanceto re-examine how the city around themcame to be as it is today. Presented in twovolumes, the book covers the architecturaland urban development that has taken thecity from its beginning as a gackwoods townone-half mile square in 1830, to a sprawlingmetropolis that, by 1970, was the site ofsome of the world’s tallest and most in¬novative buildings.Chicago’s location, of course, made it animportant rail, sea, and river transportationcenter, but, as Burnham and Bennett notedin their famous Chicago Plan, the area’snatural features (or lack thereof) had im¬portant psychological effects:“The city has two dominant naturalfeatures: the expanse of Lake Michigan,. ..which stretches to the horizon; and acorresponding area of land extending north,west, and south without hills or any markedelevation. Whatever man undertakes hereshould be actually or seemingly without limit Other cities may climb hills adbuild around them, crowning the elevationswith some dominating structure. ..elsewhere man and his works may be takenas the measure; but here the city appears asa portion of illimitable space. ”Taking this as a challenge, the city did itsbest to fill this unlimited space. Railroadsand industries flocked to the area, anddespite the destruction of the Great Fire of1871, the city’s population doubled nearlyevery 10 years through the early 1900’s andpassed 1,000,000 by 1890.The city was advancing along the culturalfront, too. The site of the spectacularlysuccessful Columbian Exposition of 1893with its architecturally spectacular WhiteCity, the city soon saw the formation of theChicago Symphony Orchestra, the Art In¬stitute, The Crerar and Newberry Libraries,the Field Museum, and a number of ar¬chitecturally significant buildings includingthe world’s first “skyscraper”.The University of Chicago was alsostarted around this time and experienced its own construction boom Between thebeginning of construction of theQuadrangles on November 26, 1891 and theend of the century 18 buildings were com¬pleted; by 1910, another 14 were added; and,before the depression year of 1930, thirtyfive more were opened, a rate of expansionprobably unequalled in the history ofAmerican universitiesUnfortunately, when the depression hit,many problems that had lain beneath thesurface during the boom years began toarise, including the now familiar difficultiesconnected with the ghettos formed bysouthern farm workers — especially blackswho had come to the city seeking jobs.Despite many attempts to alleviate theseproblems, including many housing projectsand programs, these problems still plaguethe city and threaten its survival In fact, itoften seemed as though the city’s remediesonly seemed to get in the way of anyprogressThere is much to be learned from thepatterns of building and architectura development of the city and the way thatproblems have arisen. While he has a ten¬dency to stress theoratical architecturalconsiderations, Condit presents many in¬teresting insights into the ways and reasonsthat various programs, various buildings,and various developments succeeded orfailedBy reading between the lines, one gets aglimpse into the character of this bustling,bumbling city that insists on going aboutthings “in its own way,” And, when all thegrotesqueries and all the beauty andcharms are laid side by side, it becomesclear what Nelson Algren meant when hesaid:“Loving a city like Chicago is like loving awoman with a broken nose You may findone more beautiful, but you’ll never loveanother in quite the same way ”George Spigot is a pseudonym for MilesArcher, a freelance writer living in HydeParkSUKKOT AT mini5715 S.

This year is special, because thearticle you see in front of you is the last that our nobel LeBag shallever grace us with. To incoming freshman, who cannot fully un¬derstand the emotional import of this event, I can only say: "Hereis an ideal, and perhaps in a number of years after the magic ofthe U of C has twisted your mind around a flagpole, you will beblessed with a smattering of the fluid insanity of the LeBagvision." Those who have spent some time in Hyde Park, I am surewill join me in wishing Lukacs pleasant travels, wherever theymay lead him, and in thanking him for the insight and humor hehas added to our drab, academic existence.By Lukacs LeBagWelcome to Chicago, ladies andgentlemen, and welcome to theUniversity of Chicago. Welcome toour wonderful, exciting, andvibrant "city that works" and themyriad attractions it has to offer tostudent, the scholar, and theesthete. Welcome to the warm andsociable community of Hyde ParkNew Graduate students: welcometo the "teacher of teachers": in afew short years, you will join theprofessorial elite, secure in theknowledge that a U. of C. degree isa virtual guaranteed ticket to acareer on the faculty of yourchoice, anywhere. Professionalschool students: welcome to agreat source of knowledge andethics. Undergraduates: welcometo you, the cream of America'shigh school crop; you will receivemany hours of personal attentionfrom the finest minds on ourfaculty in your quest for a liberaleducation. Welcome, all of you, to acampus where the needs of thestudents are still paramount in theminds of our wonderful, humaneadministration...As I look out amongst you, I ampleased to see that very few of youbought the preceding line. Not even the P.R. flacks around here wouldhave been caught dead saying suchthings in public.And so, I see thatthe admissions committees havedone their jobs, and that we haveanother group of cynics on ourhands. You realize the basic ab¬surdity of your quest here, andyou'll fit right into this milieu. But,like Death Valley and Mount Ever¬est, this is an environment thathas claimed more than its shareof ablebodied victims. So, a fewcomments follow on the city, theneighborhood, and the campus.This place is quite unique; manywould say that there is no place onearth quite like Hyde Park and theUniversity of Chicago; most wouldalso add to the precedingstatement, "Thank God!"Certainly one thing that makesthe University weird is the city.The University of Chicago's statedpolicy is to strive to be THE BESTDAMN UNIVERSITY IN THEWORLD (this is, at least, whatsome of the trustees are said toproclaim after four martinis at theLake Shore Club). But theUniversity is part of a city wherenobody particularly cares about"the best". Look around Chicago:it is clearly built on good(continued on p. 20)The LeBag unmasked. The Flatted 7th (p.28)Guide to film (p.37)Guide to theater (p.?3)Guide to music (p.3dGuide to dance <pInterview With Kahil ElZabar (P.27)The Chicago Maroon Friday, September 23,1977-19(continued from p. 19)old-fashioned American money and power. As longas you can make money on it, build it — and so it stands.But, on the other hand, there is no guarantee that thewhole place won't move to outside Phoenix next month (afew Astroturf trees, put it on a fake lake, nobody'd knowthe difference — except they'd have to find a way toproduce gray and brown snow). While the capitalist agemight stimulate a Higher Standard of Living, it does notencourage excellence — except in Sales and Marketing.The city's most visible and enduring monuments are toSears, John Hancock, Standard Oil, and Wrigley (whenwas the last time you NEEDED a stick of gum?). Chicagois ruled by the ledger book — (save for one thing: "black"is to be avoided at all costs in neighborhoods, schools,clubs, and the seat of government.) Certainly, the newHizzoner da Mere, Sir Michael the Bland, is a born ac¬countant if there ever was one. Mr. Bilandic iust marriedthe daughter of the Chairman of the Board of U.S. Gypsum, a member of what passes for the Chicagoaristocracy; dear Heather apparently found Bridgeportmore alluring than Monte Carlo. Clout talks, nobodywalks, right?Anyway, the real Big Bucks, Big Fame, and Big Gloryalmost always manage to avoid Chicago. They may haveSir Georg Solti under contract, but Kareem Abdul Jabbar,Guy Lafleur, Ken Stabler, and Teofilo Stevenson are allElsewhere. Look at the Dow Jones rock indexes: within aspan of about two weeks, "Boston" was bigger than"Chicago" ever was. Yes, Chicago is the haven of the nonwinners of the world. It is highly significant that, of two"in" pizza parlors on the Near North Side, Pizzaria Due isfar more difficult to get a place at than is Pizzaria Uno.Maybe Chicago is the "city that works". My room¬mate's '67 Chevy works too; so what? It's not even fun,like smiling through the apocalypse in New York, Detroit,or Cleveland (where the mayor at least lights his hair onfire every now and then to keep the townspeople amused.)The University of Chicago, while it sees to it that itsflanks are covered, reputation wise, around the world,has a soft underbelly in its own city. To put it bluntly, thepeople of Chicago could care less about the U. of C. As acivic treasure, it is down with the Chicago Sting soccer team and the Chicago Institute of Plastering, ranking wellbelow the Batcolumn and the Dan Ryan Expressway. Youwill doubtless be confused with students at other institutions of (alleged) higher learning in the area. For thesake of information: The University of Illinois at ChicagoCircle is the big, ugly, new place on the Eisenhower Expressway; Chicago State University is at 95th Street andKing Drive. The people who are aware of this place, don'tdig it. Either: "that's where the eggheads are", or: "Oh,you go to that place in the bad neighborhood." U. of C.types also were publicized and castigated in the media forbeing able to go to the head of the line to see King Tut. Andso it goes: we are intellectual prophets without honor inour own city.So, we turn in toward our own kind of people in our littleenclave of Hyde Park, in the city but not really of it. But itis far from paradise here: Hyde Park fast becomes aningrown toenail of the mind for its inhabitants.Manifestations of SPLEEN come at us from everywhere(as they say in The Music Man, "You'll find it inBaudelaire"/"Excuse me for livin' but I never read it").Go to the shrine of Our Man of Sorrows, St. Jimmy's ofWoodlawn, to plumb the depths of despair.Jimmy's around 11:30 each evening resembles anemotional M*A*S*H* ward: minds blown to such a degreethat the slightest alcoholic depression bring on amazingtalk, (and for the veterans, it's like talking about theweather): spiels of why two years just isn't enough time tofinish an incomplete; how the latest suicide attemptfailed; comparing notes on Student Mental Healthcounselors and the resident shrinks; the latest torments ofone's housemates; reminiscences of the one and only loveaffair of several years previous. There is a growing groupof clergymen whose calling is to Skid Row, the RushStreet strip joints, the Sandburg Village swinging singles.There should be a U. of C. night chaplin — perhaps aconfessional in the Regenstein stacks. But most of thelocal divinity students and seminarians are alone with therest of us, sharing the angst.Despite the emotional rigors of life here, despite anadministration that runs the University like anyChicagoland business (a big neon sign on Lake ShoreDrive: "Home of LIFE OF THE MIND Products"),V BASKETSALEJ t, ♦ V’T TmitiiHUGE VARIETY: planters,picnic baskets, etc.You must see our line ofI4K Gold JewelryCONTZnPOZARYc M frjne#IN HARPER COURT5201 S.

Take my friend Molloy.He's been here for eleven years now, as a student and asan employee. For years, stuck in a less than scintillating10b, saddled with the worst pair of lungs this side ofNewcastle in the most polluted part of Chicago (thanks,Gary), Molloy has been a typical Hyde Park wreck. Hisdoctor offered to give him a prescription in the form of aone way trip to Palm Springs, and yet, he has stayedaround. I can't tell you how heartened I was when I heardthe rumor that he'd gotten a new job. Finally, I enthused,he can live — but my hopes were dashed when it wasrevealed that he was transferring across the corner of58th and Ellis, to an office where the air conditioningwasn't quite as bad.On the other hand, though, as I said in last year's ex¬position, "How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love IrvKupcinet", the appeal of Chicago and Hyde Park to a nonhedonist like myself is its "real world" quality: one neverfeels that one is on a prolonged vacation from the majorproblems of existence. I had the opportunity to be in theBoston Cambridge area earlier this month when thehordes returned to campuses there. Here are some verbatim snitches of conversation heard in the bookstores,bars and frozen yogurt palaces of Kenmore and HarvardSquare: "I can't live another HOUR without a stereo.""Frampton's good, butcha know, he's really not THATgood." "There are a lot of FINE LADIES in this town.""Oh, man, you know what I wanna have? I wanna have aspecial underground pipeline from Burger King to myroom." Student consumer culture is blessedly absentfrom the U. of C. While I hate to see the high attrition rateamong The Best Minds of a Generation around here, I alsohate to think about mindless, moneyspending kids and thelegions of New Jersey and Long Island fathers workinglong hours at the Chemical Bank, and mothers typing forKelly Girls, so that Merv and Francine can go to school inBoston.Well, ladies and gentlemen, life is tough around here.Believe me, I've wrestled long and hard with the problemsand I want you to know that I'm behind you one thousandpercent in your endeavors to find vour way to that "machine called yourself", as Pirsig so eloquently puts it.You know that I would share the trials and torments ofanother year of Hyde Park life with you if I could, but myjournalistic career is, shall we say, on the upbeat. I'mproud to say that I've been appointed Associate Editor ofModern Plumbing magazine, and I'll be leaving to start anew and exciting life in Pittsburgh as soon as I can catch aride on Interstate 80. But, before I go, I'd like to sing akind of poignant song that captures my emotions at asentimental time like this.

I highlyrecommend some listening as an effective antidote to thesensual deadening that goes on around here. Some of thefinest moments of life have passed while attending performances in the past year by such artists as: AnthonyBraxton, Dexter Grodon, Cecil Taylor, Fred Anderson,David Bloom, Art Blakey and other local and nationalfigures. This art form is especially therapeutic in thisenvironment: first, because it comes out of this urbanmire and manages often to transcend and transform it, ifonly for a few hours; second, because it lays its creativecards on the table; these people can play what they feel atthe moment, and don't take incompletes.

If you know such regionaltheaters as the Mark Taper Forum in L.A., the Guthrie inMinneapolis, or the Alley in Houston, you may havethought that The Goodman Theatre was of the samegeneral breed of quality. It is not. It is expensive, to mytaste pretentious, and best seen for the variable quality ofits technical work, not its generally absent dramaticimpact. The Chicago press has recently found a trendtoward improvement in Goodman's productions, a trend Ihave yet to discover. The theater is, however, producingsome wonderful plays this year, and Greg Mosher'sdirection of The Sea Gull may be worthwhile, if heduplicates the high quality of his earlier efforts. I wouldstill advise you not to buy a Goodman subscription series,but go to individual shows as your interest compels you.“Goodman Theatre's other professional company,"Stage 2, however, is well worth seeing. The Goodmanmainstage/Stage 2 split is an apt summary of thestrengths and weaknesses of theatre in Chicago. The moreexpensive, more “important'' a show becomes in this city,the less satisfying. Chicago is a city of off and off offB'way mold, presents shows which are simply, oftenstarkly staged, with small casts and mostly original orvery recent scripts. Last season included a very suecessful production of the South African play Sizwe Banzi isDead and the premiere of David Mamet's A Life in theTheatre, Greg Mosher, one of the genuine luminaries ofChicago theatre, holds forth at Stage 2; I would recommend any production directed by him at that theater.It has been said that the best way to determine thepreferences of a reviewer is to see which shows he or shehabitually reviews. Using that test, one can easily conelude that my favorite theatre in Chicago is the OrganicTheater Company, located at 4520 N. Beacon, in Chicago.The Organics, headed by autocratic and brilliant StuartGordon, are home grown unique to Chicago and the bestacting company around. They do mostly original works ororiginal adaptations of prose works, such as The Sirens ofTitan, or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Their viewexcursions into classics, unfortunately, such as Volpone,have proved far less successful, and I do not recommendthese efforts with such enthusiasm. The group's strengthis in the Chicago theatrical conventions of improvisationand story theatre, blended and enhanced by a director ofunusual talent. The Organic Theater is also the one truerep company in Chicago, casting its shows from a smallgroup of permanent members. The quality of their showsrarely sinks below excellent; if you see one show inChicago, make it an Organic one.My other favorite theatre company, Wisdom Bridge,located at 1559 W Howard Street in Chicago, has undergone massive changes recently. Their former residentdirector, David Beaird, was the one person in Chicagowho had the ability to direct Shakespeare, and the conf idence to adapt his work without jealousy, maliciousness,or incompetence. Unfortunately, Mr. Beaird has retiredfor reasons of his health, and the theatre is now without itsbrash and able leader. Their most recent production, OfMice and Men, directed by their new artistic directorRobert Falls, received very good press, even a rave fromthe caustic critic of The Reader.St. Nicholas Theater Company, at 2851 N. Halsted, hasbeen receiving some excellent local and nationalpublicity, due at least in part to the meteoric rise of one oftheir founders, David Mamet. I have seen only threeshows there, but I have never been disappointed. The shows are usually original works or very recent Englishor New York pieces, often world premieres of AAamet'splays, with an occasional American classic, such as AView From the Bridge or You Can't Take it With You. Imust confess that I don't find St. Nicholas shows asimaginative or as creative as either the Organic's orDavid Beaird's work; but they are always handled andpresented with quiet and assured competence. If you mustbuy a subscription series, this is the one to buy.As you may have noticed from the addresses, themajority of Chicago's theatrical activity flourishes on theNorth Side. The South Side, however, is not devoid oftheatre. In Hyde Park the only theatre that is dependablypresent is the Court Theatre, located in the University atReynolds Club. It is the best opportunity for a student atthe U. of C. to participate in thealer in this city, due both toits location and its close ties with the university community. It lacks the infighting found in establishedacademic theatre departments; but it occasionally lapsesinto the role of an artistic plaything to amuse seriousscholars when they feel like taking “time out". Under thepersistent direction of Nick Rudall, however, this aspecthas faded as the Court Theatre begins to take itself moreseriously. Their phone number is 753 3581, in case you feellike giving them a call.I know of two other theatre groups on the South Side, theX Bag, located at 500 E. 67th Street; and the KuumbaWorkshop, at 2222 S. Michigan Avenue. The X BAG, shortfor Experimental Black Actors Guild, struck me in theone production I saw as a well funded black communitytheatre The acting was uneven, and the direction close tonon existent. The Kuumba Workshop, however is,Chicago's only genuinely “political" theatre, and a fineexample of that art form. The director, Val Gray Ward,knows her theatre, and does not confuse ideology withtechnique. The plays are political and deal with racialissues. I do not find them either intimidating or selfconsciously preachy, as is the tendency in politicaltheatre. The group presents tight and sensitive piecesdedicated to the social efficacy of good drama.Probably the most famous type of theatre in Chicago isthe alleged improvisation done at the Second City, acabaret located at 1616 N. Wells Street. Their work,however, is far less improvisation than it is “blackouttheatre"; that is, short and topical sketches that end witha clever line, then blackout to a piano interlude. I have notseen their work in years, and, perhaps most indicative ofmy opinion of their shows, when I took improv classesthere and could get in for free, I never went.Far more improvisational, and hence more fun to mytaste, is the Reification Company, which performsWednesdays, and some weekends at Sylvester's, a bar at2700 N. Lincoln Avenue. Their work is 99°o improvised,held together by a simple plot structure, and built solelyon suggestions from the audience. They are, as far as Ihave seen, the best improv group in Chicago. Two othergroups also perform at Sylvester's: the UnNatural Actson Thursdays; and the St. Vitus Dancers on Tuesdays andsome weekends. I have yet to see the St. Vitus Dancers;UnNatural Acts does scripted sketches, based onoverriding themes, such as the Bible in Stone Tablets.Their work is silly and perfect if you just want to sit thereand giggle.Three theater buildings on the north side, the VictoryGardens at 3730 N. Clark, the Body Politic at 2261 N.Lincoln, and the Jane Addams Center at 3212 N. Broadway, provide space for companies on an individual basis.The quality of their work is thus impossible to predict. Asa warning, I would state that Dennis Zacek, producer ofthe Victory Gardens Theater is, in my opinion, the mostTheater to 24 The New Pentax*MXThe world's smallest, lightest,most compact, full-featured35mm SLR camera with completeprofessional capabilitiesCome in for a demonstrationMX w/50mm fl.7 $264.90Case 4- 19.95TOTAL $284.85UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOBOOKSTORE5750 S.

Thegroup works on its pieces for months — it's been one yearsince Cornet first opened. That show toured and played inReynolds Club last Fall, so keep your eyes open for noticeof their next show. The Old Town Players, to abruptlychange the subject, is possibly the best theatre group inChicago that admits to being a community theatre.Located at 1718 N. North Park, about a block west ofSecond City, the group presents often competent versionsof classic theatre, such as Shaw Girandoux, Moliere, andtheir current production of Schnitzler's The Affairs ofAnatol.Beyond this somehwat rambling overview, myknowledge of Chicago theatre becomes even morenebulous. The Dinglefest Theater, located in the TheatreBuilding, 1225 W. Belmont, has, for the last four years,produced original shows, none of which have I seen. Alsoin the Theatre Building the Travel Light Theater has haddifficulty making the transition from a small companythat put on plays in bars to a more formal theatre groupwith its own performance space. Magic Circle, at 615 W.Wellington, put on a pleasant production of A Servant ofTwo Masters last Spring, but I have not seen their otherwork. Nor have I seen the work of the Chicago BlackEnsemble in their theater on 1429 N. Wells; nor the workdone at the Barry Street Loft, at 656 W. Barry Street. Inthe suburbs, the Evanston Theater Company mounts aseason of unexciting productions; and the SteppenwolfTheatre in Highland Park puts on shows of widely varyingquality in a very adequate theater located in a junior highschool basement.And that, patient reader, is my view of the layout ofChicago theatre. I did not write about the Loop Theaters,such as the Shubert, Blackstone, Studebaker, etc., sincethey take mostly New York road shows, and are thusneither local productions nor predictable in their quality.Some final words: for the true theatre addict, the bestlisting of shows in and around this city appears inPanorama Magazine, which comes out every Saturday inthe Chicago Daily News. If you are serious about seeingtheatre in this city, then become a reviewer or an usher,and get in for free; or join CAPA, the Chicago Alliance forthe Performing Arts, and get a discount on certain localshows. I've never known what is meant by "experimentaltheatre"; but if it means theatre which still has to fightand be innovative to survive, then the only worthwhiletheatre in Chicago is "experimental theatre".ALLTOGETHER753-3303M-F: 8-5SAT: 9-1 At One LocationTO SAVE YOU MORE'WASEM* CHEVROLET VOLKSWAOEMSPECIAL DISCOUNT PRICESFor ALL STUDENTSAND FACULTY MEMBERSJust present your University ofChicago Identification CardAs Students or Faculty Members ofthe University of Chicago you are en¬titled to special money savingsDiscounts >jr, /olk wc gen & ChevroletParts accessories and any new orused Volkswagen or Chevrolet youbuy from Volkswagen South Shore orMerit Chevrolet Inc.U10HA1R) * H30VMSX10A 1310HA9R)SALES A SERVICEALL AT ONE CREAT LOCATIONVOLKSWAGENnCp' SOUTH SHORE7 Stony Island_ £•»•»•: **4-0400Opon Dolly P-M / Sot.

What happens is you go through cert tain periods...periods when stuff is up in acertain place and periods when things aredown to a certain extent. And, the questionthat has been presented to the youngermembers is, you know, "what's happeningin the music scene since a lot of cats havemoved to New York?" And so what we'vebeen striving to do with both the older* members and the younger members is putan impact on Chicago that will be a lastingforce so that the music can exist andprogress. Because this is a very slow city. ..musically. And it's hard for musicians whocan play to get a certain exposure. We need,say, assistance from the press or whateverto push our perspectives, our music, ourideas, and things like this; and the onlyforce we know of is through the music. So weare going to try to make that...or have beenstriving to make that as strong as possible.At the beginning of this year it appeaed to anumber of observers that with musiciansmoving to New York, and with the A.A.C.M.beginning to get national acclaim, that theA. A. C.M. might become much more popularbut not be as creative a part of the Chicagocommunity. Things would change and theymight change away from Chicago.Well, that's a thing where it's really up tothe individual and then there's somethingthat brings all the individuals in theA.A.C.M. together. That is the spirit ofmoving the music and trying to find asmany avenues of advancement as possible,because the A.A.C.M. is something that westick to. But then again it's a sad commentary on Chicago that Chicago musicianshave to go to New York to be respected forl whatever musical ideas they've developed.That situation gets hard but the musiciansare still very strong in Chicago. You sawAnthony Braxton coming back, Muhal(Richard Abrams), Leroy Jenkins.Whenever they're able to deal they will. Andthen again you've got Doug Ewart, AdegokeSteve Colson, Wes Cochran, and JamesJohnson. So the music goes on and on. Assome cats have moved on, never forgettingtheir roots, same with the musicians nowwewmimove-on and be back. Photo by Gwendolen CatesThere was the suggestion in an article byGary Giddins about the A.A.C.M. thatperhaps the quality of the music was suffering a little because the New Yorkaudiences were not critical, perhapscausing the musicians to be a little lesscritical of their own work.That could possibly be true and then again itcould be an empty opinion. What you have inNew York is a more aesthetically exposedsociety. They have a choice which is muchgreater than that in Chicago. So although itcould get worse it could also get muchbetter. With a greater interest than there isin Chicago there might be a greater intereston the part of a musician to improve hismusic. In Chicago there are a few placesthat are somewhat warm but overall it isa cold city or a very, very critical citywhich makes some artists shy awayfrom situation. It builds very strong artists,because of the experiences that you gothrough. It could be an advantage to comefrom this kind of an experience where yourown foundations and discipline are veryhighly developed. But, on received a bettervibration you'll probably give a bettervibration.Has there been a loss to the A.A.C.M. schoolthat many of the older musicians havemoved away, that the (Muhal RichardAbrams) big band no longer plays onMonday nights?Well, it really hasn't hurt the school. Uh. . itwould be good if they were still here, let mesay that, because they give so much. But inreflection of what they've done DouglasEwart and probably George Lewis havelearned alot. They are direct students of theorganization. And if the organization candevelop students like that to pass on whatthe older members have brought about thenthere will be a continuous situation ofgrowth. So the school still has very goodinstructors. A former graduate of the U. ofC., Ed Wilkerson, is one of the teachers, alsoAdegoke Steve Colson, his wife, EquaColson, Douglas Ewart. Then if Muhalcomes into town he might do a seminar, orAmina Claudine Meyers, etc.The New York press, which of course inmany ways is the natinal press, has a tendency to treat the A.A.C.M. like a fad,something that is happening in the 70's whenof course it was happening in the 60's and wehope will be in the 80's.That's a hard problem we have to deal with.I don't want to make a political commentary but in America, you know how it is,everything is stated on certain opinions. Ifyou want to make it you have to go to NewYork, that's the way it's stated. Ok, so nowyou have musicians coming from Chicagoin this period as you had in the 50's and the50's and the 40's. This tradition is somethingwe have to deal with because we want tosucceed as artists. You dig? That's exactlywhat's happening. There's a certain thing in New York, there's an advantage to us thatthey're pushing the situation. New York islooking for new avenues of music and theyare considering the A.A.CM. as um.. a veryserious aspect of the new music. So there's alot of play given to our music. Of course themoney that goes with that play, that's adifferent thing (laughs). We appreciatewhat New York is doing; there are a lot ofsincere people. Now the test for theA.A.C.M., and I know that we'll make it, isthat we don't get caught up in fadism orwhatever.Do you allow white members in theA.A.C.M.?We allow anyone in the A.A.C.M. There arecertain procedures you have to go throughYou have to be recommended by at leasttwo members.VThere is no color. .No, it's not about that. It's the Associationfor the Advancement of Creative Musicians,if it was a thing about color we'd say theAssociation for the Advancement of BLACKMusicians. But there is a social experienceas part of the whole situation, that's why wecall it Great Black Music, because it is allblack members. But we don't ban it fromanyone.Many fans seem to get a feeling about theA.A.C.M.. .well, / wouldn't want to call itrascist. But, the A.A.C.M. does state that itis doing something involved with blackculture.Well, it's doing something that's about theexperience of every member at this time,which is only rightfully so. This society iscalled the melting pot; it's about themerging of different societies into one. Allthe A.A.C.M. does is speak about an incommon ethnocentricity.Could you say that again ?An in common ethnocentricity, meaningthat all our backgrounds have some kind ofsimilar ethnic origin.So you would say that Great Black Music isthe music of Joseph Jarmon and HenryThreadgill and Kahil ETZabar, not some. ..No, it's the music of Pops, it's the music ofMahalia Jackson, of Earl "Fatha" Hines,Sun Ra, Sonny Rollins...Gi / Evans?Archie Shepp. ..Roswell Rudd?You dig. Anybody playing Great BlackMusic.Although Chicago is a hard city, there is alot of music in this city.Oh yeah.How do you see the A.A.C.M. fitting into thelarger musical community?I'm trying to get what you mean by that.The A.A.C.M. values its own theories, anA.A.C.M. concert has all A.A.C.M. mem bers you try and do something as a group. /was iust wondering how much communication there was between the A. A. C.M.and say the Southside blues community.Ok. I don't know if this is really what's happening but I'll give you an example. Lastnight Ed Wilkerson and I went to a bar andthen went to the Astro club to see this cat outthere, played with him a while, then wecame home. Now you know, we might go outon another night, myself personally, I mightgo out to the West side and play for MiltonBrunson's choir or I might be on the roadwith Jesse Dickson and his gospel quartet orI might be working with some rock bandThe music is about the trading of ideas. Catsmake their different choices - where they'regoing to be at. On the whole the A.A.C.M.has always had a pretty good rapport with avariety of musicians because we know thatthe stuff is infinite, you dig, and cats aregoing to come from their different places,and the only way we can appreciate thewhole is if we are accessible to it.Somehow that seems very different fromthe impression some fans get. A lot of fansseem to think that. . .well. . that theA.A.C.M. takes a defensive posture, theyare not going to do certain things. Andwhenever you go to an A.A.C.M. concertthere are things you are going to hear andthings you are not going to hear. Defen¬sive?. . a little stuck up maybe?Mmmmm. Well, I guess that's the opinionalways given the so called creativemusician, within any form. If we wereclassical musicians and not dealing withcertain standards but trying to find ourown approaches - "those snobs, thoselonghairs!" In the forms of our music wefind there are certain stigmas, certaintraditions that are not necessarily the finalword. And so we strive to go on and on,beyond these things. You can say again andagain, "the advancement of creativemusic," meaning that we come throughcertain vehicles, so called rock, so calledblues, so called iazz; and the reason that Isay it that way, "so called", is because...Ok,the word jazz has its origin in the word jive.The name on the whole was given to thatmusic by a society that only saw that musicin certain honky torrKs. When we readhistorically we find out, or they tell us thatthe only time this music was played was inplaces where they had prostitutes, or inhomes of ill repute, or to excite the rich menwhen they were taking the women upstairs.Now you hear the beauty of this music andyou really have to think to yourself - whenyou might listen to some W.C. Handy or towhat Pops was playing in the earlier days orwhat Scott Joplin was playing. And a lot ofthis music doesn't sound like the only placeit was played was in homes of ill repute. Buthistorically this is what you're given. So theBy the RumprollerKahil to 30“I hope you like t10:15 Arrive at the Checkerboard (423E. 43rd St.).

DaleThe Chicago Maroon HncJayTSepfember 23, TSTTTVKahil from 27name becomes jive ending up as jazz, andthat for all this music of Trane or AlbertAyler or Sun Ra, or Muhal, you dig, we'regoing to relate what doesn't really fit? Sothat's what it's all about and at times yeumight see a feeling of bitterness or resentment toward that understanding. But it'sonly because of that history. The music ismuch beyond socalled jazz, or socaltedrock, or any of this.At an A.A.C.M. concert, you only playA.A.C M. compositions.At an A.A.C.M. concert, right, we usuallyplay A.A.C.M. compositions, or we mightplay an interpretation of some compositionwe respect or enjoy.A lot of it has to do, I guess, with makingsure you move forward.Right. One of the reasons the A.A.C.M.came in, you know. . . before my time,founded by Muhal Richrd Abrams, JodyChristian, Phil G -, and Steve McCall, was tohave an avenue for musicians to play theirown music. And the A.A.C.M. will be veryimportant in the future because it will beone of the only avenues as a collective thathas been able to establish a tradition ofdeveloping new artists with new ideas. Whatthis society does is always label a situationand now if a cat wants to make money hecan only play in certain categories. Musichas to progress and go on and that's why theA.A.C.M. is becoming so important,because that's all we strive for to move on.Why don't you talk a little bit about yourown music. This interview will appear thesame dav as your concert with Don Moye,your Tribute to Trane. Why don't you talk alittle bit about that so we can get an ideawhere your music is at.OK, thanks, I appreciate that. I've beenplaying with Don Moye for 8 years, off andon, both of us playing a variety of percussion. I don't play traps but just abouteverything else. We've developed a mutualappreciation for each other and we've hadthe chance to do a lot of things together. We came up with the idea of the concert whenwe started thinking about John Coltrane, hisbirthday will be coming up the 23rd. On thewhole when Don's in the city he's usuallydoing things for me with the EthnicHeritage Ensemble, so those are usually mycompositions. We want to do a thingcollectively. It will be compositions by bothof us in dedication to John Coltrane, who weconsider to be a very, very important voice.I came into the Association (speaking aboutmy music at the same time) around 1970. Atthat time I was one of the top studio percussionists in the city, working in a majorityof the studios in Chicago and playing withmany of the so called popular groups. I metMuhal in 1971 and I got to play with thesextet, to play with Steve McCall,Kalaparusha, Henry Threadgill, WallaceMcMillan, Reggie Willis, and Muhal. Thishad such an impact on my life; I began tounderstand an involvement wtih seriousmusic and the commitment to life. At thattime there really had to be a serious commitment to the music because once I joinedthe A.A.C.M. I couldn't maintain the samesort of life I had had, playing with DonnyHathaway, even with Paul Simon.Situations where, you know, I was alwaysmaking dough. Playing with Muhal broughtthings to a place where the money justwasn't there for playing serious musicbecause the world is not about that type ofseriousness. . .yet. Trane's whole life wasdedicated to this kind of seriousness in thedevelopment of music. And watching him asa human being you also see an inspirationaltransition where the things he was into in hissocial life, the drugs the lowness of certainactivities were transformed into anaspiration toward the highest levels, thehighest essence of a human being. His musicreflects all this. I think the public has toknow why the musicians have such acloseness to Trane. It is not just about themusic by about the man.What about the other musicians you'll beplaying with?The quintet consists of Don Moye, myself,Malachi Favors (on bass), and two reedsthat a lot of people dont' know about. Onehas received a certain amount of publicity, Ari Brown, who played with the Awakeningfor awhile, did about four albums with themon the Black Jazz label. He's a veryprofound tenor saxophonist, pianist,clarinet, and he was one of the featuredsoloists with Muhal's band for a long time.The other tenor saxophonist, we call himLight, he's a naprapath a doctor of naturalhealing. He comes from the South Side, as somany great musicians have. He's beenplaying with me for about 3 years in theEthnic Heritage Ensemble, and I lookforward to him moving on from me in thefuture, going on to some other things. He dida short stint with Sun Ra and then cameback to study his medicines. They are twovery. . .serious tenor saxophonists who aresomewhat in the tradition of Trane. In theirhorns you're going to hear a lot of power.People shouldn’t come expecting to hearTrane's pieces... Right. People should come expecting atribute to Trane. It should not a repetitionbut an original appreciation of the conceptsof his music.Your own band, the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, plays a week after that.Yeah, I think the date is October 7.

THRU SAT. - 9 AM TO 10 PMSUN.-NOON TO 10 PM30 The Chicago Maroon Friday, September 23, 197719 Let it rock! Classical music. By Jeff MakosRock and the city of Chicago, now here'san interesting subject for new Chicagoansto study. The Windy City is always rated bynational concert promoters as one of theirlargest box office venues, yet the city itselfhas not produced any viable music "scene"of its own, forcing good Chicago bands tomake it big on the East or West coasts. It'sa fact that the groups Chicago and Styx, theformer a supergroup and the latter justbreaking nationally, would still have beenplaying city bars if they hadn't left for theWest coast.This is not to say that Chicago is a deadtown. Mercury Records has its nationaloffices here, and most other companieshave offices in the Loop. There are concerthalls where most major acts play, andmany clubs where one can see good localbands at an inexpensive price. But this gapbetween large halls and small clubs has yetto be adequately filled, so expect any localband with some talent to be gone six monthsafter you discover them, leaving the city forgreener (i.e., more financially lucrative)locations.The situation for nationally populargroups is much more stable. The ChicagoStadium and The Chicago Amphitheaterare the city’s two hockeyrink music halls.Both seat between fifteen and twentythousand people, both have horribleacoustics, and are two of the largestmoneymaking halls in the city. Expect tosee most well known bands play there(Stones, Who, Led Zeppelin, etc.) and to gothere at least once if you stay in the city forany length of time. It's inescapable, due tothe virtual stranglehold that promoterJerry Weintraub has over the Stadium. Hehas an agreement with Arthur Wirtz, ownerof the Stadium, that Weintraub will be thesole booker of rock acts, unless anotherpromoter can meet Weintraub's price,which is enormous. The Amphitheater isn'tany better than the Stadium. Located nextto the Stockyards, this exhibition hall used♦or car and cattle shows usually shows therowdier acts (Aerosmith, Ted Nugent)which Weintraub wont' touch.Most of the booking for the Amphitheaterand other rock halls is done by JamProductions, and tickets can be found atTicketron outlets within the city andsuburbs, but not in Hyde Park. Get in lineearly for good seats, because the ChicagoTicketron computer is notorius for fuckingthings up. Or, do as most front row viewersdo see a scalper. Chicago is overrun byillegal ticket sellers who can provide goodseats for outrageous prices. I personallydon't believe anymore in buying ripped offseats, but I've done so in the past, and youprobably will too, if the act is good enoughand you don't want to camp out overnight.Just don't buy from anyone named Luigi.The other major hall is the Auditorium Theater, located in the Loop in theRoosevelt University building. A fourthousand seat hall with the best acoustics inthe country, the Auditorium is without adoubt the finest place to hear rock inChicago. All seats are excellent, and mostrock bands with any interest in the comfortof their audiences play here. Springsteen,Rundgren, and The Grateful Dead haveplayed here for a few consecutive nightsrather than pack a larger hall for a onenight stand. Make no mistake, if you go toonly one concert this year, be sure it's at theAuditorium.Other halls are the Aerie Crown Theater(in McCormack Place), the AragonBallroom and the Uptown Theater. TheAerie Crown doesn't book many Rock actsanymore, preferring to use its acousticallyharsh and sterile hall for plays, or maybe aweek of Diana Ross. The Aragon is areconverted dancehall with incredibleArabian architecture and possibly therowdiest crown in the Midwest. No chairs,you sit on the floor usually in some Coke -and try to watch the band (Santana, Rush,Blue Oyster Cult) while the kid next to youthrows up from too many downers.Definitely unpleasant, but worth a trip ifyou are interested in seeing the hard core ofChicago's Rock underground. The Uptownis a small hall (three thousand seats) whichhouses good acts who would be otherwiseplaying third on the bill to one of thesupergroups. New acts like Graham Pakerand Foreigner have played here. The Up¬town is a fine place to catch new acts(especially British ones) before they moveon to the Auditorium.That takes care of the concert scene.Remember to check the Reader for a goodlist of coming events, and remember to planahead for transportation. It is worth it to seethe huge acts, even in huge halls, since itisn't often that a group like, say, The Who,plays Chicago. When they do, you can besure that it will be in the Stadium. Such arethe facts of life within the star makermachinery of Seventies rock. But the smallChicago club scene mentioned earlier canbe tremendously rewarding, if one takes thetime to find the club and listen to the music.Most of the clubs can be found on thecity's North Side, with Lincoln Avenue(from about 2500 to 3500 North) being thecenter of activity. Outside of B. Ginnings,owned by Chicago drummer DannySeraphine and way out in suburbanSchaumburg, the Lincoln Avenue strip isthe only place where one can see the smallChicago bands in action Most clubs arevery friendly (no fake ID's however) andthe crowds are generally responsive to theartists. One can have a few beers and listento a folk or rock act without paying anenormous cover chargeSome do have high covers on some nights,but the only real way one can decide is byqoing and checking the scene out forRock to 32 By Jennifer WillardDespite its tag of "Second City," Chicagohouses one of the finest symphony orchestras in the world and one of the topopera companies in the nation. Thedisparaging nickname applies, however,when one considers the poor secondary levelof concert series available in Chicago, ascompared to the barrage of concerts foundin New York. As a result, subscription seriesfor both the Chicago Symphony Orchestraand the Chicago Lyric Opera are sold outmonths in advance, and single tickets arehot items. The purpose of this "guide/ is tooffer tips on obtaining tickets to covetedperformances and to give some suggestionson where to find good and often free -performances of classical music in the areaSir Georg Solti and the Chicago SymphonyOrchestra have achieved world wide famefor their renditions of standard 19th centuryrepertory. The Chicago audiences are un¬derstandably enthusiastic, and tickets arescarce for any and every concert. Fortunately, the Junior Governing Board of theCSO sponsors two series of University NightConcerts for students. Series A featuresconductors Henry Mazer, Erich Leinsdorf,and Sir Georg Solti. Repertory for thisseries includes Strauss' tone poem DonQuixote, Mozart's Prague Symphony, andHolst's The Planets. Series B presentLeonard Slatkin, Gennady Rozdestvensky,and Solti, in programs featuring Bartok'sThe Miraculous Mandarin in its completeversion, Tchzikovksy's Manfred Symphony,and Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 1.Subscriptions also include tickets for fiveconcerts by the Civic Orchestra of Chicago,headed by Gordon Peters, and a number ofChamber Music Concerts. Series pricesrange from $9 for gallery seats to $25 for boxseats. Order blanks are posted across thecampus; mail orders will be filled afterSeptember 24. For additional information,call Pat Jay at 435 8180.For those adventurous souls who wish toexpand their horizons beyond the UniversityNight Series, the easiest way to procuresingle tickets is through the mail. Mailorders are accepted only within thirty daysof the desired concert date, those receivedbefore thirty days are promptly returned.Single tickets are placed on sale at theOrchestra Hall box office three weeks inadvance of the performance It is oftenadvisable to contact the box office at 4358111 to determine availibility before ordering tickets by mail. Singles ticket pricesrun from $7 for a gallery seat to a top $14 fora main floor ticket. For additional information write; Box Office, OrchestraHall, 220 S. Michigan ave 60604 A word tothe wise Solti's stints with the CSO arelimited to twice a year, and these concertsare, of course, complete sell outs Look forother names, such as Giulini, Barneboim,and Leinsdorf.The ticket situation with the Lyric Operais even tighter. Subscriptions series are sold out months in advance, and subscribers anacontributors get first crack at single ticketorders. The box office has been open forthree weeks now, and tickets for the mainattractions are going fast. There is still achance at this date, however, that seats forthe season's first production, E'lisird'amore with tenor Luciano Pavarotti, areavailable. Productions of Peter Grimes,Barber of Seville, and Die Meistersinger,are bound to be popular. In the past fewyears, tickets have been readily availablefor the more unfamiliar operas, especiallythose without the benefits of "big name"casts. Often these "second rate productionsare well worth the effort it takes to seethem, as in the cases of Monteverdi's Orteoand Prokofiev's Love for Three Oranges.Therefore, if box office sales continue to sagfor this season's Idomenio, take the opportunity to see it. One place to look foravailable tickets for sale is the Classifiedsection of the Chicago Reader Subscriptionticket. If you are fixed and determined,however, to attend a sold-out Peter Grimes,your last resort is begging at the door And ifall else fails, give up and tune in to WFMT's"Opening Night at the Lvrir." broadcasts.On the recital circuit, three differentsubscription series bring solo artists toChicago. Happily, single performancetickets are usually available up to the dateof the concert. The 1977 78 Gold CurtainSeries will feature the following artists inrecitals at the Auditorium Theatre: AndreKostelanetz and the Pittsburgh SymphonyOrchestra (for an evening of the "lightclassics"), violinist Henryk Szeryng,pianists Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli andHoracio Gutierrez, and sopranos Victoria delos Angeles and Shirley Verrett. Ticketprices range from $3.50 for gallery seats(bring your binoculars) to $14 for box seats.For more details write: Auditorium TheatreCouncil, 70 E. Congress, 60605.Allied Arts sponsors two different recitalseries at Orchestra Hall. The first featuresfourteen pianists, ranging from novicesMurray Perahia and Henry Dosky toestablished performers Andre Watt andGary Graffman to master Rudolf Serkin.Subscription prices for this excellent seriesof fourteen concerts run from $18 to $38.Single ticket prices, for which information isnot yet available, should be proportionatelyhigher.

(OrchestraHall, however, is easily accessible by way ofthe 1C.) Well, Hyde Park and the UniversityMusic to 34VRock from 31oneself. Lincoln Park is a tine area andeasily accessible by the elevated train.There are many small bars, but here is a listof major North Side clubs.The Ivanhoe Theater at 3000 North Clarkis similar to the Uptown in purpose: itpresents good acts (Jean Luc Ponty,Southside Johnny, Jerry Jeff Walker) in asmall setting for regular concert priceswith a two drink minimum. It's a good placeto listen, but not to dance, since the seatsare fixed to the floor. The only comparableplace is Ratso's, on Lincoln, which combines a small restaurant with a small clubthat usually showcases local bands likeAlliota Haynes Jeremiah or HarveyMandel.There are no other purely rock halls onthe North Side, with most of the clubstending to present softer folk-rock acts.Which is all right, since some good bandshave lended a country air to the heavymetal mire of the city. The Wise Pools Pubis a small, wood lined bar which presentsJazz, Blues, and Country acts, Orphan'sshowcases area folksingers, and SomebodyElse's Troubles (owned by Fred and EdHolstein, two Chicago folksingers) is a fineplace to catch older and established singerslike Dave Van Ronk, all three clubs make up the core of the Lincoln scene.The best hall outside the city for hearingmusic is Amazingrace in Evanston. While itpresents mostly folkies, the club has beenbooking fusion jazz bands, and Ry Cooderand Randy Newman have both appearedthere. Seating is on the carpeted floor, theyhave a non smoking policy, and a warmgroup of people run the fine light and soundsystem. The place may be sold soon, sowhether it retains its relaxed atmosphereremains to be seen. But check it out as soonas possible; Evanston is a long drive but itsworth it.All these places are primarily soft rockhalls. If you want the real thing, meat drool,and anarchistic teenage sex pistolstoogelike highenergy Kick Out The JamsMothers PUNK, then I guess I'll have tosend you to La Mere Vipere. I don't want to,since what was once an interesting scenehas now degenerated into a suburbantourist trap, and I hate to add to the declineof anything. But you'll probably hear of itanyway, so I'll be the first to tell you. LaMere is a reconverted disco which now onlyplays "punk" rock music (a terrible title,that). Bands like the MC5, Stooges, RoxyMusic, Eno, and of course, Johnny Rottenand The Sex Pistols, are played while thepatrons try to outrage each other and lookas hip as you can be while imitating the realProle punks from England (i.e., rippedjeans pinned together with safety pins, etc.). Go once so you can tell your friends.Buy the single "God Save The Queen" bythe Sex Pistols and be even cooler, since itsan import. Whatever, do what vou want.Anyway, this is Chicago rock. Therereally are a million and one things hap¬pening in this city; pick up on the Reader'sguide to music in Chicago for a good listing of events. Sorry to say, tnere isn't much of ascene in Hyde Park,, but we at The GreyCity Journal will be doing our best tochange that. Watch this column for furtherrock features.

And so does Rudolph Nureyev, CynthiaGregory, and Marcia Haydee.Nevertheless, like the balance of most dancers whoattempt Princess Aurora's series of attitudes in the Roseadagio of "Sleeping Beauty," Chicago's year long danceseason is shaky. Fine for once in a while dancegoers,frustrating for more serious ones.The source of Chicago's dance deficiency lies in theabsence of a solid, substantial, resident company. Thereis an organization called the Chicago Ballet, run by ourcity's long time dance devotee Ruth Page, which this yearenters its fourth season. But so far it has lacked thedirection, and, not so much the talent but conditionsnecessary for the nurturing of talent, to even begin toapproximate what a resident company should be: aguardian and performer of a repertoire.It's no chicken and egg dilemma regarding what ittakes to build a company. Good dancers precede andmake possible the growth of a repertoire; it's not the otherway around. Chicago Ballet's problem is not its youth, asno one's expecting to see polished performances in theshort span of four years.What is their problem is that from the onset themanagement has lacked a vision for what the companyshould eventually become, and therefore has failed toestablish certain standards. The company went public,acquired a hodgepodge of ballets and modern works forthe beginning of a repertoire, before it had dancerscapable to support either the public or the repertoire.Within these past four years, one senses not potential butthe seeds of eventual doom.You can find out whether I'm wrong or not next monthat their season opener, a performance of James Clouser's"Caliban," a rock adaptation of Shakespeare's "TheTempest," or you can wait to form a verdict until theirannual performance of the more traditional, safer,"Nutcracker."On the other hand, the great New York City Balletdancer of the 40's, Maria Tallchief, here in Chicagodirecting a small troupe affiliated with Lyric Opera, hasgone about establishing her company in the right way.Instead of thinking of the finished product before therewas one, her priority has been the foundation of a school,the School of American Ballet West (its eastern model isNYCB's school). It is dedicated to the training ofprofessionals.The Lyric troupe's main function so far has been dancing in the operas (this year they will dance in Gluck's "Orfeo" and Wagner's "Meistersinger"). This gives theSAB students performing experience, laying the foundations for a full time career. The company also had 3rather successful full evening programs, consisting ofmostly ballets by Tallchief's former, Balanchine.Lyric's youth and inexperience was obvious at theirmost recent performance last August in Grant Park, butat the same time, one could detect strength, a substantialbeginning should blossom within time. There are no suchfull evening programs yet scheduled, since Tallchiefwon't promise anything until she feels her dancers areready. But wait and see. My money is on the chancethey'll have an evening to themselves in the Spring.So the lack of a native repertory company meansChicago is only a tour stop for companies whose homebases are elsewhere, which in most cases, is New YorkCity. Tours are surely better than nothing, but not enoughto make Chicago a thriving dance town. It's a simplematter of the supply and demand principle: Chicagoprobably lacks the audience support necessary to attracta wide variety of national and international troupes And adependable, sophisticated dance audience cannot developunless there's a performing nucleus to cultivate, and then,satisfy it. Chicago is not an anti dance town; more aptly,it's an unaware town.What Chicago does have, however, is a whole smattering of small scale, local modern troupes — the ChicagoContemporary Dance Theatre, MoMing, Shirley Mordine's company offshoot of the Dance Center of ColumbiaCollege, the Chicago Moving Company, and the newlyformed A Dance Ensemble.The budgets of these companies are tight, their personnel unpredictable, and quality negligible. More thansignificant performing groups, these companies seem tobe dance centers — especially MoMing and ColumbiaCollege Dance Center — in which any potentialchoreographer among their ranks has a chance to see hisor her work performed. Also, as all of them except ADance Ensemble have their own studios and performingspace, they are hosts to non local troupes (for example inthe past we've seen New Yorkers Meredith Monk andLaura Dean at MoMing).Fall is the big season for these companies CCDT,Chicago Moving Company, and Mordine all perform nextmonth, and MoMing will sponsor a ChicagoChoreographers Showcase in NovemberAdequate is the only way to describe Chicago's host ofvisiting companies In any given year we see a fair amount of national and foreign troupes, but for the mostpart, their stays here are short, and the programs comprise just a small, token selection of their repertoires.And, except for the by now traditional annual visits ofJoffrey (which even comes here again in the summer toRavinia), ABT, Alvin Ailey, and Dance Theatre ofHarlem, the season changes from year to year — again, asituation prohibitive of a growth of familiarity with anyone company. The Stuttgart visited this summer, thoughit was their first in five years. The Bejart company camelast year, thier first, too, in something like five years.Other'infrequent visitors are the Twyla Tharp DanceFoundation; the National Ballet of Canada with Nureyevas guest star; the Panovs. But where is Britian's RoyalBallet, Denmark's Royal Danish Ballet, or other companies that miss Chicago on their U. S. tours?Enough complaining, let the coming year speak foritself. Good news is^he Auditorium Theatre dance seriesenlistment of Paul Taylor's company, the first visit of theIsrael Ballet, and the return engagement of DennisWayne's Dancers.Modern dancer Erick Hawkins will perform at theNational College of Education in Evanston. He hasn'tbeen to Chicago in something like eight years, since theold days of the Harper Theatre (the former Hyde ParkTheatre) dance festival.Allied Arts will bring Canada's Royal Winnipeg Balletand the Royal Ballet of Flanders, as well as a trio of folkdance ensembles, Ballet Folklorico Mexicana, theCzechoslovakian Folk Ballet, and the Hungarian FolkBallet of Budapest.Except for sudden surprise engagements, like that ofBejart last year, that's about it.

At times thisseems particularly true of Chicago. At firstglance, the Windy City seems, at least incinema, a far cry from the big A. Devoutreaders of the Sunday New York Times Artsand Leisure section sometimes wait monthsto see 'upcoming' movies. To make thingsworse, the long anticipated film will comeand go in the switch of a television dial. Andthis is the city that works.People accustomed to New York premieres and L.A. sneak previews bemoan thefact that so many new films take monthsto arrive in Chicago. Foreign language filmstake forever to get here and when they do,they are often badly printed and poorlydubbed. Bergmans, Wertmullers and otherfavorites appear, with subtitles, usuallyaround two months after their coastpremieres. For film epicureans and the likewho enjoy more exotic and less vogueauteurs, the wait is often miserably long,and sometimes never ending.But perhaps Chicago is only on the surfacea second rate cinema city. Eventually,almost every new, fairly publicized orfavorably criticized film makes its way tothe Grey City. With four established campusfilm groups, a new film every week at theneighborhood theater, plus assorted filmspresented by dormitories and other groups,a good evenings entertainment can be foundon almost any night on campus or in theimmediate vicinity. Museums and downtown independent film societies offer richschedules of vintage classics and newerforeign and experimental films, often with adiscussion or a guest speaker. Prices forstudents in Hyde Park and at downtown filmgroups rarely exceed two dollars.Doc Films, this year headed by GaryBeeberman, the campus's oldes and largestfilm organization, presents films three orfour times a week. This fall quarter, 45 filmswill be shown with Tuesday nights devotedto a Howard Hawks retrospective.Universally respected, Hawks is one of themost talented and well liked Americandirectors around and probably the mostversatile — a master of comedy, westernand romance. Doc will be showing some ofHawks's more celebrated works like HisGirl Friday, I was a Male War Bride andRoad to Glory, plus several of Hawks obscure or underrated works. WednesdaysDoc presents its annual open series, acollection of unrelated films that were madeduring a single eight or nine year period.This year Doc focuses on films of the fiftiesby Nicholas Ray, Andre de Toth, RaoulWalsh, Douglas Sirk, Otto Preminger andBudd Boetticher among others. Popularfavorites and more recent movies will beshown on Thursdays and during theweekends. Highlights of the Fall scheduleinclude Brian de Palma's Carrie, FrancoisTruffaut's Small Change, Eric Rohmer'sThe "Marquise of O, Mel Brooks's SilentMovie and Sidney Lumet's Network. Also ofinterest is Richard Lester's T*c Bed Sitting Room with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore(of Bedazzled fame), Marty Feldman andRalph Richardson. This Fall Doc will alsoshow two Chicago premieres, Jean Renoir'sThe River and Akira Kurosawa's High andLow, plus Chaplin's A Woman of Pariswhich has been unavailable for publicscreening since the 20's.All of Doc's films are shown in QuantrellAuditorium, room 209 in Cobb hall, unlessotherwise noted. Admission for each film is$1.00 on Tuesday and Wednesday; $1.50 onall other days. An associate membershipcard for $7.00 covers admission for all 45Fall films.

A season'spass, good for all 12 movies, is $6.00New American Movement (NAM) Filmswill present nine films this quarter. The filmgroup was established by the South SideNAM chapter, originally designed to offerthe best and most important political filmsavailable. Now NAM films has expandedtheir offerings to include artistically innovative films and Third World and Sovietfilms that combine modernism witheveryday life.

Write the Table of Contents and thePreface for a book entitled “Orthodoxyand Heresy from Augustine to Aquinas.”Final Examination, General HonorsCourse 110; June, 1932.PARTIEither the intellectual history of westernEurope reveals a progressive enrichment ofculture and development of ideas, or theintellectual history of western Europereveals the increasing failure of theeducational process to regain the richnessand maturity of Greek CultureConsider this dilemma to be constituted byexclusive alternatives. Take one of thesepositions and support it argumentatively.The argument shold be entirely af¬firmative; it should not consist of denials ofthe position opposite to the one you take, orof compromises between the two Theargument should emphasize the principlesof your interpretation of the thesis and thebasis of your evaluation. The evidenceshould be marshalled comprehensively, butcited with maximum brevity.PART IIAnswer one of the following:1.“In the beginning God created the heavenand the earth. Now' the earth was un¬formed and void, and darkness was uponthe face of the deep; and the spirit of Godhovered over the face of the waters AndGod said: ‘Let there be light ’ And therewas light.” (Genesis, 1.1) “In the beginning was the Word, and theWord was with God, and the World wasGod The same w as in the beginning withGod. All things were made by him; andwithout him was not anything made thatwas made. In him was life; and the lifewas the light of men.” (John, 1,1-5).Interpret these two texts in relation to oneanother.2. “The absence of romance in my historywill, I fear, detract somewhat from itsinterest; but if it be judged useful bythose inquirers who desire an exactknowledge of the past as an aid to theinterpretation of the future, which in thecourse of human things must resemble Ifit does not reflect it,I shall be content ”(Thucydides, The Poloponnesian War).nic-uss this passage with reference toerodotus, Machiavelli, Gibbon and'lolstoi.3. “Therefore we call final without qual¬ification that which is always desir¬able in itself and never for the sake ofsomething else. Now such a thing hap¬piness, above all else, is held to be; forthis we choose always for itself and neverfor the sake of something else, buthonour, pleasure, reason, and everyvirtue we choose indeed for them¬selves... but we choose them also for thesake of happiness, judging that by meansof them we shall be happy Happiness, onthe other hand, no one chooses for thesake of these, nor, in general, foranything other than itself.” (Aristotle,Ethics, I).Discuss this passage with reference toAurelius, Lucretius, Spinoza,Schopenhauer, John Stuart Mill andFreud4. “For as God is God is comprehensible inthat one deduces from creation that he is,and is incomprehensible because what heis can be comprehended by no un¬derstanding, human or angelic, nor evenby himself because he is not a what but issuperessential: so it is given to thehuman mind to know only this, that it is,but it is in no way granted to it to knowwhat it is.” (Erigena, On the Division ofNature, IV, 7)Discuss this passage with reference toRonaventura. Ockham, Dante,Descartes and Kant5. “There are also two kinds of truths, thoseof reasoning and those of fact. Truths ofreasoning are necessary and their op¬posite is impossible: truths of fact arecontingent and their opposite ispossible” (Leibnitz, Monadology, 83).Discuss this passage with reference toLocke. Hume. Kant and William James.6. “My design in this book is not to explainthe properties of light by hypotheses, butto propose and prove them by reason andexperiments: in order to do which I >’nallpremise the following definitions andaxions ” (Newton. Optics. 1 >Discuss this staement with reference toGalilee, Francis Bacon. Darwin, Galtonand Einstein.7. “Whoever knows what is good or badtragedy, knows also about epic poetry'.All the elements of an epic poem arefound in tragedy, but the elements ofa tragedy are not all found in the epicpoem.” (Aristotle. Poetics, V,4)Discuss this statement with refeence toHomer, the Greek tragedians,Shakespeare’s King Lear’ and Balzac's‘PereGoriot’.8 “Comedy is, as we have said, an imitationof characters of a lower type, - not,however, in the full sense of the wordbad. the ludicrous being merely a sub¬division of the ugly It consists in somedefect or ugliness which is not painful ordestructive.” < Aristotle. Poetics, V7.4)Discuss this statement with reference toAristophanes, Rabelais, Cervantes.Shakespeare. Swift and Moliere9 The public good ought to be the object ofthe legislator; general utility out to bethe foundation of his reasonings To know the true good of the community is whatconstitutes the science of legislaton; theart consists in finding the means torealize that good.” (Bentham, Principlesof Legislation, I).Discuss this passage with reference toMachiavelli, Hobbes, Rousseau, Ciceroand AristotlePART IIIAnswer one of the following:1. Compare Aeschylus, Sophocles andEuripides as tragedians in their treat¬ment of the Electra theme.2. Discuss Lucretius, Dante, Milton andGoethe as “philosophical poets ”3. Define the novel as a form of art, in themanner in which Aristotle defines thetragedy. Use Fielding, Balzac,Dostoievski and Tolstoi to illustrate theelements in your definition4. What factors determine the market valueof labor according to Smith, Malthus andMarx' Criticize their analyses byreference to the wider context of theireconomic theories.5. The seventeenth century' has been calledthe century of genius; the eighteenthcentury has been called the age ofreason Name the nineteenth century interms of its dominant trait, and justifyyour nameThis is the first time in a few years thatcourse evaluations in the humanities havebeen summarized and unfortunately weagreed that the professors could read whatwe had written before it was sent to thepublishers Not only did this slow down anunderstaffed committee but it necessarilyeffects the veracity of our report to youThe summaries were edited to appeasesensitive egos and avoid any retributionwhich might be taken against the commoncore The great majority of the evaluationsare positive because the teachers merit thatpraise. Four professors had the summariesof their courses withdrawn frompublication Mr Flemming. Mr Frank. MrKinahan, Mr Koelb. Mr Northcott, MrSandler, and Mr. Schwehn were notavailable to give their approval of what hadbeen written and consequently summariesof these sections do not appear here Weapologize for the absence of summaries ofevaluations of Mr Ashin, Mr Garber. Mr.Loevy, Ms Lukitsch, and Ms. Postlewaite,which were not finished in time We hope topublish reports on all of the humanitiescourses before registration in MayAlso remember that courses andprofessors change from quarter to quarterExperiment’ Whatever you discover,registration is not binding and there isusually the option to try another sectionRegardless of past general opinion yourdecision is your own Having said that wewant to reiterate that we can all benefitfrom knowing your judgement of coursesand professors Please give a thorough,imaginative criticism on the next evaluationform that you fill out Dates next toevaluations indicate when the evaluationswere written. Humanities 104-105-106This course puts special emphasis onwriting, especially critical and expositoryessays. It utilizes specific methods forimproving the structure and efficiency ofthe student’s writing By employing a widerange of texts, the course exposes thestudent to many different styles of writingand provides a deeper understanding of therhetoric and polemics between the lines ”Students had varying opinions aboutselections on the reading list. Many com¬mented that it was incoherent, but theyliked it in generalThe class periodically meets with theprofessor in tutorials of about six students.They discuss and criticize each other’swork These rather informal sessions proveextremely helpful to everyone as sources ofideas and constructive criticisms. Moststudents said that their writing had im¬proved but it should be noted thatarrangements for tutorials vary fromsection to section.James ChandlerHumanities 104 and 106104; 16responses; 22registered106: 8 responses; 22 registeredThis first quarter of Common Core was abit hard on some students, but most felt thecourse was helpful, worthwhile, and evenenjoyable Students consistently mentionedMr. Chandler’s ability as a discussionleader, a capacity necessary to CommonCore teaching. One student wrote that “theinstructor’s knowledge and comprehensionof the materials is only matched by hisability to teach ” Similarly, most found Mr.Chandler very helpful outside of theclassroom — in his office, in tutorials, and inhis comments on papers The paper topicsreceived mixed reviews — ranging from“vague and difficult to answer” to onestudent’s self-criticism: “I myself writeawful papers, but this course, I believe, hashelped me immensely.”Most liked Mr. Chandler’s “always readyfor anything” discussions, although a fewcomplained that he was not open to in¬terpretations not his own Criticism cen¬tered more on the disconnectedness ofreading list and vague aims of the coursethan on Mr Chandler’s teaching, which wasfound to be good overallRandolph IvyHumanities 106-05Spring ’77 27 responses; 30 registeredHumanities 106-10Spring ’77 15 responses; 27 registeredMr Ivy was well liked by four sections ofHumanities 104-105-106 Students found thepaper topics challenging and interestingThough there were fewer tutorials thanpeople expected. Mr Ivy was described asaccessible outside of class and “critical yetsupportive” in thorough comments ‘onpapers The fact that discussions wereusually stimulating was explained by manyas due to the instructor's ability to “presentan argument that always seemed clear andpertinent.” Mr Ivy is a strongly recom¬mended teacherFrank Kinahan Humanities 105-106Autumn and Winter of 1975-76105: 17responses; 21 registered106: 15 responses: 18 registeredThe least favorable comment MrKinahan received was “very able.” one ofthe few comments from the survey not in¬cluding a superlative of praise In the wordsof one student, “the general ability of theinstructor as a teacher was admirable, hisfamiliarity with material unquestionable .but it is in his ability to lecture and lead thediscussions that his greatest strength lay.”Many students were particularly impressedwith Kinahan’s “invaluable” assistance inpaper writingMs. Lee, Kinahan’s teaching assistant in1976-77 received an equal, if not con¬siderably subdued, amount of praise.

Herawareness of the students’ abilities andweaknesses was particularly admired.Arthur Flemming Humanities 104Autumn 197613 responses; 15 registeredOn the whole, students found the course-and Mr. Flemming helpful and enjoyable.Most felt that their writing gained 'muchneeded help, and some students noted thatmore papers (there were four) would havebeen even more helpful His lectures and hisleading of discussions were consideredexcellent, although some students felt thatthere should have been more discussionThere were a surprisingly large number ofupperclassmen in this section They allpraised the class highly: “the course wasone of the best,” wrote a third year transferstudent, “that I have taken as a collegestudent.”Jay SchleusenerHumanities 104Autumn 1974 23 responses; 25 registeredThe responses were almost unanimous intheir praise of Mr. Schleusener-especiallyhis lectures The word “dynamic” was usedmore than once to describe the instructor.Comments included. “This course is by far(surprisingly enough) my most enjoyable! ”and from a third-year student: “This coursewas enjoyed by this student I would enrollin it even if it were not a requirement.”Many praised the fact that the first twopapers were ungraded. Students’ feelingsabout tutorials and Mr. Schleusener’scomments on their papers varied con¬siderably. Some felt the criticisms ex¬tremely helpful, others that it was a waste oftime and that the written comments werevague Generally, students attended veryregularly and felt they were learning in theclassHumanities 107-108-109This course covers a wide range of texts inhistory, philosophy and literature. Studentswere frustrated by the perennial problem ofthe quarter system, not enough time spenton each work The major emphasis of thecourse is on learning to read varied types oftexts. This course teaches the basictechniques of reading and argument andperceiving its construction, which is ex¬tremely useful to students in every field.Many people made comments such as “thiscourse really forced me to think ” Like all ofthe Common Core Humanities courses,writing is stressed as essential. Paper topicsare usually concerned with analysis ofarguments in the course readings.Leonard OlsenHumanities 107-109Autumn and Spring. 1976-77107; 19 responses; 21 registered109: 17 responses; 21 registeredBoth the course and the instructor werehighly recommended Papers werechallenging and required a great deal ofthought. The main criticism was thatcomments on papers were insufficientClass discussions were described as in¬spiring. involving a questionning processthat is often frustrating but ultimatelysatisfying. Praise for.Mr Olsen was ex¬tremely high: students said he had a greatand complete know ledge of the subject andwas masterful in directing a discussion.Professor Olsen is very interested in theindividual and willing to help Students mustbe well prepared for class and are oftensubjected to rigorous questioning Althoughmost of the students agreed that‘his “blood, sweat, and tears" process usedto analyze texts was instructive, manyadded that more direction is needed in classand on the papers The major criticism ofthe course was that discussions were oftenconfusing, and some type of conclusion wasneeded at the end so that the student was notleft hanging. However, most of the classnoted the instructor's method of teachingreally taught them how to think In general,the course was strongly recommended andProfessor Olsen received tin. highest ofrecommendations George PlayeHumanities 107Autumn 1976 16 responses; 22 registeredHumanities 108Winter 1977 15 responses; 21 registeredStudent opinion of Mr Playe’s teachingcould be summarized as describing a bellcurve with the peak tending towards a verystrong recommendation Some studentsmentioned that exams and paper topicswere hard and fair Everyone noted Mr.Playe’s willingness to give personal at¬tention and his desire to know them as in¬dividuals. His comments on papers weregood but brief Some students said that hehandled class discussions well and en¬couraged students to express their ownideas. The major complaint was that papercriticisms, and topics for papers and classdiscussions were vague One student said,“he is a nice man...but he is sometimesdisorganized.” In general he was given astrong recommendationFrancesca von BroembsenHumanities 107-8-9Autumn, Winter, and Spring 1976-77Autumn ’76: 8 responses; 19 registeredWinter ’77: 8 responses; 19 registered(2 sect.) Spring ’77: 3 responses; 19' registered, 11 responses; 20 registeredMs. von Broembsen’s Humanities 107-8-9sections wrote two 4-page papers and a 5-page exam each quarter She was flexibleabout the form in which these requirementswere met, and it was possible to write twolarger papers The paper topics were broadenough that by Spring Quarter studentschose their own People described thecriticism on papers as adequate if not tooshort They also emphasized that she waswilling to expand these comments outside ofclass, though a few found her office hourstoo limited. Students noted that in class Msvon Broembsen was interested in studentideas and able to contribute informationabout an extensive array of topics. Manypeople mentioned that discussion often didnot get off the ground but became a lecturethat digressed to areas peripheral to thesubject or w as perhaps too sophisticated forthe class. It appears that during the courseof the year the class and professor becamemore comfortable with each other and Ms.von Broembsen received a fairly strongrecommendationSamuel SandlerAutumn 1976 Humanities 107 16 respon¬ses ; 22 registeredSpring 1977 Humanities 109 16 responses;19 registeredMr Sandler lectured a lot in class in theAutumn but left more time for discussion asthe year went by. Students also said that hetended to get off track in his lectures anddiscussions and did not always com¬municate well but he improved there too Anumber of people said that while they didnot especially like the class at first, by theend of the year they were much more en¬thusiastic about it and about Mr. SandlerHis comments on papers were helpful Hewas considered very nice and un¬derstanding and was eager to help thestudents. He was always well prepared forclass and was recommended fairly highlyby his students.Mark Schwehn Humanities 107-108-109Autumn, Winter and Spring 1976-77107: (2sections)19 responses; 20registered20 responses; 21 registered108; 17 responses; 21 registered109: 18 responses: 22 registeredMr. Schwehn was often praised for hisskillful discussion leadership, his sense ofhumor and his availability to studentsoutside of class He emphasized writing in107 and required students to meet with himeach quarter to discuss their papers Manystudents wrote that Mr Schwehn was theirmost interesting and enlightening instructorand in commenting on the course onestudent said. “Seriously. I do not think it< t he course i can be improved."Humanities 110-111-112This course emphasizes the problems oftranslation as interpretation and matters ofstyle and literary structure The firstquarter of the sequence deals with learning to read and analyze fiction, drama andpoetry; the second quarter touches on theproblems inherent in reading literature intranslation; and the third quarter examinesseveral versions of a classic myth As in thetwo sequences above students found thereading list “diverse” and “unthematic”but they enjoyed it anyway.Texts used last year include “The Rime ofthe Ancient Mariner,” Joseph Conrad’sHeart of Darkness, Dante’s Inferno,Baudelaire’s Flowers of Evil, Rimbaud’s ASeason in Hell, and works by SamuelJohnson and J.R.R. Tolkien The thirdquarter investigated the Faust legend asrendered by Goethe, Marlowe, Paul Valery,and Thomas Mann.Expect frequent short papers (2 ^5pages). The purpose of the papers is to teachthe student to organize his own thoughtsabout a work of literature and to writeclearly and concisely.James BruceHumanities 111Winter 197711 responses; 15 registeredMr. Bruce was recommended fairlystrongly by his students. He was availablefor help outside of class. His comments onpapers could have been more critical Theclass was a “guided discussion”; studentsthought that at times he was forcing hisopinion on them but that he also brought lifeto the discussions One student remarkedthat when the discussions did lag it was thefault of the students rather than Mr Bruce“This course has been most enjoyablebecause of his vitality ”Peter DembowskiHumanities 112Spring 197724 responses; 26 registeredThis course was primarily lecture withsome discussion Professor Dembowski’slectures were considered very good: highlyinformative, interesting, and an aid tounderstanding the reading. Many studentsthought that more discussion would bedesirable but many also felt that the classhad shown in the two previous quarters thatit could not sustain a discussion The papertopics were good and helped people to bettercomprehend the subject matter Paperswere discussed in class and these particulardiscussions were thought to be excellentProfessor Dembowski was readily availableoutside of class for help and was generallyconsidered to be a good instructorSamuel JaffeHumanities 112Spring 1977 10 responses; 14 registeredProfessor Jaffe ran an informaldiscussion class Most students liked theway in which he was open to viewpointsother than his own but some wished that hewould have provided more direction Thediscussions examined the readings closelyand often revealed some things that thestudents had not seen before Many peopleliked having only three books to readbecause they could look into them morethoroughly instead of hurrying to finish along reading list Jaffe had a good un¬derstanding of the materials, brought itacross to the students fairly well, and wasconsidered by most to be a good instructorRebecca WestHumanities 112Spring 1977 1.3 responses; 17 registeredRebecca West's course was primarilylectures The lectures provided helpfulbackground information on the authors andreadings They were liked by many of thestudents because they thought that they didnot know enough about the material at firstto really make discussion worthwhile MsWest was well prepared Criticism onpapers was usually constructive. One of thefew negative comments about the class wasthat the paper topics called for descriptionand some analysis of the readings but noevaluation or criticism Students w anted anopportunity to express their view s.Humanities 115-116-117This course is being taught for the firsttime in 1977-78 The following summary ofstudent evaluations of Mr Cohen's teachingis from a section of Humanities 106 taughtSpring Quarter 1974 Summaries of MrDnnagan's and Ms Grenspan's teachingevaluations are not available, but theTheC original teaching evaluations may be readin Gates-Blake 117.Ted Cohen(Evaluations from Humanities 106.

There are several“team-taught” sections; that is, eachprofessor in the “team” lectures on a topicand leads one of two discussions on thatsubject Work for the “team-taught” sec¬tions includes about four papers of four tosix pages per quarter and a final exam.Paper topics and exam questions are thesame for all the team-taught sections Inaddition, there are a few individual sectionstaught by the same professor all quarter < asis more usual in the College). These in¬dividual sections differ in reading lists andnumber and topics of papers.Knox HillHumanities 122Spring 1977 16responses; 28registeredKnox Hill is a scholar who brings to theclass a wealth of information about GreekThought and Literature Students in theSpring Quarter were evaluated on threepapers and one final exam One person saidthat “the readings were the course, allexcellent Mr Hill was well prepared andcommunicated his knowledge “clearly andsuccintly.” The discussions seemed to be ledby the professor who was described as“strict” and “dry.” The paper topics werespecific and related to problems discoveredin class He is a somewhat hard grader, withthorough if short criticism on papers.Students found the tutorials beneficial andKnox Hill “fairly available” for what wastermed a “private lesson.” He wasrecommended as a good teacher, one withattention to detail and the ability to com¬municate his materialRobert KasterHumanities 121Winter 1977 18 responses; 20 registeredStudents were without exception positiveabout Mr Kaster and this course Hisstrengths lie in asking good questions bothin class and in paper topics) and in offeringextensive criticisms which most studentsfound useful However, several studentsfound that class discussions were at timesconfused and unenlightening, and a few saidthat Mr. Kaster was unprovoking as adiscussion leader Vet on the whole,Kaster s interest in the students, and hisdesire to make the class interesting suc¬ceeded in creating a course which satisfiedalmost everyone.Michael MurrinHumanities 120Autumn 1976 19 responses; 22 registeredIn general students were "very satisfied”with Mr MurruVs -hing of HumanitiesEvaluations to 45licacjo Maroon Friday M W7 t ■.t*+*+**++kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk PARENT COOPERATIVE FOREARLY LEARNING PRESCHOOLFull and half day program (7:30 a.m -6:00 p.m.) for children 2-6 yearsclassrooms designed for2 year olds3-4 year oldsKindergartenprofessional teachers■Hprcs 5300 S.

Mr. Murrin wasstrongly recommended.George WalshHumanities 120Autumn 197616 responses; 21 registeredAlmost without exception studentsthought very highly of Mr Walsh and histreatment of the course material Mostappreciated the close attention given to“thorny problems” in the readings and allagreed that the discussion went well. Mr.Walsh was sensitive to the students’ ideas,and very capable in leading a discussion inwhich the students worked out solutions forthemselves. Thus there was necessarily ahigh degree of student participation in classWalsh’s criticisms on papers were found tobe fair and helpful. In general, moststudents were very happy with the course,and found Walsh responsible for this suc¬cess.Phy SciThe Physical Sciences Student AdvisoryCommittee has relied upon several method'sto prepare the course descriptions listedbelow. In cases where the courses were newor had new staffing an attempt was made tointerview the instructors. If studentevaluations of the course or professor wereon file from previous years these were usedwhen applicable. (These are available forreview in GB 108, the Collegiate DivisionPhysical Science office). In cases where thiswas not possible, a descriptive evaluationwas made based on the combinedknowledge of members of the committeeand upperclassmen who had taken thecourse in previous years These descriptionsmay be biased because of our own limitedexperiences and contacts and they are onlymeant as information to build upon.The contributing members are.Michael CohenMichelle CohnLinda HalleDon KleinmuntzMary MarfiseMary SamuelsAlso;Susan Woo 4th year4th year4th year4th year4 th year3rd yearAlumnusPhy Sci 108Students said Phy Sci 108, coveringcontinental drift and plate tectonics theory,was generally well-organized and in¬teresting, although at times even over¬simplified. Some mathematicalsophistication was helpful, but no Calculusor Physics was necessary Students likeProf. Wylie very much, saying he was clear,knowledgeable, witty, and enjoyable Hewrote the text and followed it closely inlectures, making review easy. Moststudents thought labs w'ere simplistic, andmany questioned their relevance andnecessity. Homework was almost allreading. and most students spent 0-5 hr-s/week on it. Overall, most studentsrecommended the course as an interestinggeophysical study of the earth for studentswith varying levels of scientificbackgroundPhy Sci 109Students were not as favorable towardPhy Sci 109, which covers atmosphere andweather They considered it disorganizedand hard to understand, although thematerial was often interesting. Prof Fujitaseemed to expect more math, Chemistryand Physics background than most studentshad They thought the text too technical,labs simple but helpful, and exams fairlyeasy but disorganized Overall, moststudents were disappointed in the course asan introduction to the earth s weather andclimatePhy Sci 110Students considered Phy Sci 110, coveringphysical, geological, and biologicaloceanography, fairly good They thought thematerial interesting, but complained of having four different teachers. They said itwas difficult to get used to each newteaching style and test format. Con¬sequently, the quarter lacked some con¬sistency Labs were still “connect the dots,”but sometimes helpful Overall, the studentsrecommended the material but suggestedone professor instead of fourPhy Sci 111Phy Sci 111 covers crystalography and theconceptual basis of structure. Most studentsthought it was quite abstract and rigorousThey said it was sometimes over their headsand stressed keeping up with the work andreally comprehending the material. Someprior knowledge of trignometry andgeometry was useful, as was the ability tointerpret two-dimensional representationsof 30 objects. Most students praised ProfMoore highly, saying he was verystimulating and enthusiastic, bringing thematerial to life The homework was per¬tinent and challenging, and most studentsspent 5-15 hrs/wk on it. Labs were wor¬thwhile and fairly difficult. Many studentsexpressed satisfaction at having taken atough but very stimulating course.Phy Sci 112Students in Prof. Garoch’s Phy Sci 112class expressed tremendous satisfactionwith it. They enjoyed his emphasis onscientific thought and ideas and called himan outstanding teacher who made thesubject come alive They said he was anexcellent lecturer: thoughtful, stimulating,very approachable, sensitive to the class,and careful to keep the material on thesophistication level of the students. Theygenerally approved of the homework, timerequired outside of class, and exams. Theoverwhelming majority said they wouldtake the class again, citing Prof Garoch’steaching skills as the main reasonPhy Scill5-116A Solin116B -117 Anders and YangThe physics part of this course will coverthe usual topics taught in a course such asPhySci 121-2-3, but more superficially,because of the time limit. Calculus is not aprerequisite, but will be developed as part ofthe program In addition, Solin attempts tojustify to non-science majors why theyshould be taught physics.The book is Physics: Foundations &Frontiers <Gamow & Cleveland), which wasgiven a generally high rating by studentswho used it last year. Students will have toprepare for labs in advance, but most willprobably be finished within the laboratoryperiod. There will be a 20-minute weeklyquiz, plus a weekly discussion period forhomework and other problemsMost of the grade is determined by thefinal exam (given in the middle of winterquarter). Students are welcome to talk toDr Solin, but in order to assure somefeedback, representatives from the classwill be elected to meet with Solin and thelaboratory assistants As for the workload,Solin suggests that if you’re not interested inworking hard, don’t take this courseThere wrere no evaluations available fromthe chemistry portion of this course (116B-117), but from evaluations of anothercommon core course that he taught. DrYang was said to know his materialthoroughly One student commented that heattempted to “talk down’’ to the class ofnon-science majors, but was still rated bythe student as a very good professor DrYang is known for his availability tostudents Most complaints came fromstudents who disliked Yang’s heavy relianceon the text, sometimes reading from it inclassPhy Sci 118-19-20 Intro toAstrophysicsAn introductory course, designed forstudents with a limited background inscience, and intended for non-PhysicalScience majors, this course fulfills thecommon-year requirement Topics include,among others, the nature of the solarsystem, structure and evolution of the stars,and evolution of the universe.There is a two-hour lab session each weekLabs cover topics such as measurement ofbasic astronomical data., elementaryphysics experiments, and various lecture-demonstrations of scientific equipmentAlso, there is usually a field-trip to YerkesObservatory.No previous experience in pnvsics isneeded Pre-Calculus Math (Math 102 orplacement > is requiredThe course evaluations for Fall 1976 < witha different instructor) indicated the course was interesting, although somewhatdisorganized This was definitely not acourse for science majors.Homework sets were plentiful, and wereconsidered both moderately difficult andextremely useful Most people found thelevel of math used in the course was aboutright for them, there were mixed feelingsabout the usefulness of the readings. Thelabs were considered good, but sometimestoo longChemistry 105-106-107 (115-116-117)Basic Chemistry, by many estimates isone of the most rigorous courses offered toundergraduates at this university It is alecture class with lab and generallyrequires more than 20 hours of studying,lectures and labs to pass successfully Thepace is very fast and the three to four, onehour exams plus the final each quarter arevery comprehensive The professorsteaching this year have been away from thecourse for a couple of years or are teachingundergraduates for the first time so it isdifficult to assess how they will lecture thecourse - All of the professors contactedseemed eager to overcome whatever dif¬ficulties students might encounter with thematerialChem 115, 116, 117 is basically the sam as105, 106, 107 except a heavier emphasis ontheory and calculus will be used- D MurdyChemistry 220This year Elementary Organic Chemistrydebuts a new textbook, Streitwasser’s In¬troduction to Organic Chemistry, though thecourse remains essentially the samecovering aliphatic and aromatichydrocarbons stereochemistry, and someelectrophilic reactions Students said theyspent between 10 and 15 hours per weekpreparing for the course Lab write-upswhere required are not very time con¬suming.

Somestudents find these courses too fast-paced.As with all math courses, since the qualityof the class is greatly determined by theinstructor, it is wise to visit several sectionsat the start of the quarter Once you havefound a section you like, sign up for itquickly (switching registration may bedifficult, but bepresistant).While all calculus sequences arescheduled to cover the same material in thecourse of the year, different instructors forthe same sequence often cover a differentrange of material, and may even use adifferent text. Ask the instructor what heplans to cover and how fast he plans to do it.Not all instructors for the math classeswill be professors in the department Thedepartment does employ recent Ph Drecipients as Dickson instructors, andgraduate students as “Lecturers.” Theselecturers are at least third year graduatestudents who have a masters degree andhave passed the candidacy exam for a Ph DThey are under the guidance of a well-experienced faculty member, and havealready spent a year observing the levelthey are now teaching Often courses willalso have a tutor assigned to them, or theinstructor is readily availableCalculus 131-2-3 has the most extensivetutorial program of the calculus sequences,having a junior tutor assigned to. 5-10students and meeting with them 3 hours aweek < this time is included in the timeschedule).Statistics 200 Elementary StatisticsStatistics 220 Statistical Methods andApplicationsStatistics 240 Statistics in the NaturalSciencesStatistics 244-5 Statistical Theory andMethodsEach of these courses is an introduction toStatistics.

Spencer Parsons, Dean"Dealing with Car Experiences"n rTjfrnnnonooooooj46 The Chicago Maroon Friday, September 23,1977/Evaluations from 45calculus or concurrent registration incalculus. The 130’s sequence requires a yearof calculus. A prospecitve physics majorshould take the 140’s sequence, but the 130’ssequence is acceptable if the studentchanges his major to physics after havingcompleted the sequence.A freshman wishing to take the 140’ssequence should have had a strong physicsprogram in high school or a similarbackground. He should also have a goodacquaintance with calculus, as would beindicated by placement in the 200 level mathcourses. The 140’s sequence is alsorecommended for second year students,who are considering a major in physics andwho have completed a year of calculus. The140’s sequence normally requires a year ofcalculus, but concurrent registration incalculus can be sufficient. If a student isconcurrently registered, he should be awarethat topics covered in calculus courses willgenerally lag behind the use of thesemathematical techniques in the physicscourse by as much as a full quarter. Forstudents with the required calculusbackground but who wish a quick review,the physics department will offer a course inIntuitive Calculus in the fall.This is the first year that the 140 sequenceis being offered. The new sequence willenable a student to change to a physicsmajor after the first year more easily andwill also allow a physics student to changemajor after one year and still have acomplete introductory physics course It ispossible to transfer between any of the in¬troductory sequences at the beginning of aquarter as the material covered in each iscomparableThe amount of time to be sepnt on thesecourses depends on the student; there willbe more than enough to study. Besides thethree lectures a week, there will be adiscussion section arranged for each classand seven required laboratory experiments.The labs are four hours long and will besupervised by teaching assistants as are thediscussion sections Experiment write-upswill be done in lab, but formal reports maybe required by the instructor.The required texts for the courses areFTindamentals of Physics by Halliday andResnick for the 120’s sequence; Physics forStudents of Science and Engineering vols. 1and 2 by Halliday and Resnick for the 130’ssequence; and the Berkeley Physics Seriesvols. 1 and 2 for the first 2 quarters of the140’s sequence The 143 text has not yet beenchosen. In addition to these, the instructorwill have a list of recommended texts foruse in the course. The student is notrequired to purchase these, but they may beuseful as references. Copies of these bookswill be reserved in the Eckhart library forstudent use. They may be checked out fortwo or 24 hours, depending on the demandfor the book. Soc SciThe following course and teacherevaluations were compiled for The Maroonby the Social Science Student AdvisoryCommittee. The committee is made up ofinterested students in the College, andmeets periodically with the DivisionalMaster. The committee’s primary role is tocompile course and teacher evaluations forconsideration by students and in tenure andrehiring decisions. Outside of this, thecommittee’s activities are dictated by theinterests of its members and any input theyreceive from students in the College.Faculty are frequently invited to attendcommittee meetings.Each quarter, the committee publishesand distributes a booklet of evaluations ofsocial science courses offered that quarter.Student Advisory Committee 1976-77:Betty Burns, Gwendolen Cates, LauraDansky, Linda Diamond, Claire Dolinar,Norman Hirsch, Greta Hogan, LorraineMonchak, Michael Montemarano, SaraRubin, Linda Simon, Brian Sweeney, SusanTempleton, Max Wiley, Carol WilinskiSpecial thanks to: Keith Baker, Master,SSCDMihalyi Csikszentmihalyi, AssociateMaster, SSCDRoberta MacGowan, AdministrativeAsst., SSCDKirstin Day, Course and ConcentrationSecretary, SSCDDave Murdy, Dean’s Advisory Com¬mittee.SOCIAL SCIENCES 111-112-113 POLITICALORDER AND CHANGEThis sequence provides great insight intothe political and economic philosophieswhich underlie our own government as wellas others. The reading list ranges fromPlato and Hobbes to Adam Smith and ourown Milton Friedman Many studentscomplained of its depth and breadth, i.ethere is too much reading to complete in tenshort weeks. However, the real thorn in thestudents’ sides is the grading system whichplaced too great an emphasis upon acommon finalJoel Beck - He is an excellent instructorJohn Danford - He is new at the game andhis students think he will improve with timeand become a fine teacherFrank Ellsworth - Students found hisclasses open and intelligent and his Wed¬nesday night sherry hours extremely en¬joyable.Ira Kipnis (111 only) - He has an extensiveknowledge of history and law and because ofthis discussions often developed into lec¬turesRalph Lerner - Though not universallyadored, many students found Mr Lerner’sknowledge of the subject and his presen¬tation excellentJames McGowan - He is a competent instructor: knowledgeable but not par¬ticularly interesting.Roger Weiss - He seems unable to lift theclass discussion above the merely technicalSOCIAL SCIENCES 121-122-123SELF, CULTURE, AND SOCIETYThe most common complaints were theirrelevance of lectures to class discussionsand the length of the reading list. Manystudents felt that inability to keep up withthis amount of reading stifled class par¬ticipation in discussion. However, studentsthought the readings proved worthwhile, ingeneral, and found the whole course astimulating introduction to social theory,one which stressed points of view with whichmany had had no previous experienceReading list includes Freud, Marx, Weber,Benedict, Durkheim, among othersBert Cohler He is described by hisstudents in glowing terms His rapport withthe class and concern for his students isrepeatedly notedR. Dreeben Students found that he hadsome trouble communicating his ideaseffectively; as a result, his lectures weresometimes found to be uninteresting, anddiscussions tended to lag At the same time,students felt that Mr Dreeben was mostreceptive to their ideas and questions, andwas approachable at all timesR.

Many appreciated the materialwhich her background of anthropologyoffered, especially her knowledge ofAmerican Indians.SOCIAL SCIENCES 151-152-163URBAN STRUCTURE, PUBLIC POLICY& SOCIAL ANALYSISStudents in the newest of the common coresocial science sequences found the coursematerial interesting and extremelyrelevant Many complaints centered aroundthe sequence’s lack of continuity, but moststudents attributed this to its newness Mr Ewell consistently received high praisehe was considered to be the most in¬teresting, dynamic, and helpful of the in¬structors, and he was an excellentdiscussion leader Professor Coleman wasnot rated as highly, and was generallyconsidered to be inaccessible as well Somestudents felt that 151 was too technical, butotherwise the sequence received goodratingsSOCIAL SCIENCES 161EQUALITY IN THE CONTEMPORARYUS-1AUTUMN 1977The success of this course seemed todepend on the personality and or ability ofthe instructor One observation common tostudents in all sections was that the lectureson the use of the computer in the analysis ofsocial science data were inadequate andrather boring; the graduate student givingthese lectures worked well on a 1-to-l basiswith students, but was a poor lecturer Somestudents suggested that the sections’regular instructors should teach computerusage and integrate this with the otheraspects of the course There were othercomplaints about the reading list (un¬coordinated not worthwhile) and thegeneral organization of the course 'tooloosely structured directionless) Com¬ments on professors were mostly favorable,though Novick was considered to be en¬tertaining; Mansbridge seemed to havegood rapport with her students and wasespecially praised for the way she handledclass discussions Professor Zonis' studentsfound him to be very interesting and manyspecifically credited him with the success ofthe course Also, the relevance of the courseto current issues was another of its strongpointsGeneral comments on the course: very-time-consuming '5 papers requiring fieldwork beforehand, plus a final exam), butextremely interesting It had practicalvalue in acquainting the student withChicago and its public transit system Therewere many complaints about the final exam< it was apparently given "to make sureeveryone did the reading”). No commentswere received concerning ProfessorPeterson Mansbridge was described as apersonable, dynamic instructor Parish wasa little dry. although he integrated conceptswell and often led a good discussion Ewellwas equally adept at both lecture anddiscussion His classes were well-planned,and his discussions were centered aroundvery probing, provocative questionsSOCIAL SCIENCES 161R Taub — while there is no informationavailable for this course, students in othercourses found Mr Taub to be a clear andinteresting lecturer, and to have the abilityto cover a large amount of materialcoherentlyTHECATHOLIC CENTERCALVERT HOUSEWELCOMES YOUWORSHIP:MASS -DAILY: NOONWEEKENDS: SATURDAY 5:00 PMSunday 8:30 AM, 11:00 AM (BOND CHAPEL), 5 PMEVENING PRAYER: DAILY 5:00 PMPROGRAMSORIENTATION SUPPER SUNDAY SEPT 26 5:30 PMBROWN BAG LUNCH DAILY 12:30 PM"COPING" GROUP MONDAYS 7:00 PMLITURGY PLANNING GROUP TUESDAYS 6:30 PMBIBLE GROUP (BRENT HOUSE) WEDNESDAYS 7:30 PMBASIC CATHOLICISM THURSDAYS 7:30 PM"FRIDAY NIGHT AT CALVERT" FRIDAYS 5:30 PMSUPPER SUNDAYS 6:00 PM5735 UNIVERSITY 288-2311 ^T/iVUmwreityicaOyOCodetta m CQasicumfloorer Cfioir•> -Auc(irion5 •>Open to ad?Friday, iq 130 SeftenberTor Appointment.call 753-2613 OTHER COURSES OFINTERESTSUBJECT CODES: Jimmys and TheUniversity RoomTIMES: Sunday thru Fridaynoon to 2 am-Saturday til 3 amLOCATION: 55th and WoodlawnPREREQUISITES: NoneATTIRE: PreferableATTENDANCE: OptionalThe Chicago Maroon Friday, September 23, 1977 47Levi'sFor a limited time only,Full fashioned Turtle necksweaters in 7 colors,regular $25.00 now $19.958 The Chicago Maroon Friday, September 23, 1977 For a limited time only,Levi Jeans, regular or cordurc$16.50 now $12.501502 EAST 55TH STREETIN THE HYDE PARK SHOPPING CENTER55TH& LAKE PARKMonday thru Saturday 9 to 6Thursday 9 to 8752-8100All major credit cards accepted.WELCOME:TO A GREAT UNIVERSITY TO A BEAUTIFUL CAMPUSTO HYDE PARK TO COHN & STERNClassic by Gant.The Traditional Dress ShirtDear Students & facultyAfter you have settled downand “explored” Hyde Park,pay us a visit and get ac¬quainted or re-acquaintedwith our store.Super selection of quilted jacketsfrom $35 to $85.We’ll help you in your selec¬tion of clothing, a pair of jeans,or a pair of gloves, a blazeror corduroy suit.

RohdeWhile the demand for athletic facilities atChicago is going up, the supply remainsabout the same, and as any buddingeconomist can tell you, that’s going to makeit harder than ever to find a place to playThe facilities squeeze was due to berelieved October 1 with the completion of“phase one” of the Field House renovationUnfortunately, the University has movedback the opening of the first new athleticfacility to be built since 1931While the major construction on the FieldHouse has been completed, several difficulttasks remain. For one thing, the upper floormust be surfaced with proturf, a processthat produces toxic fumes which don’tdissipate for a couple of weeks. After thatthe various lines must be laid down,requiring 1,200 seperate marks for the trackalone. Athletic Director Jeff Metcalfpredicts that everything will be completedlater this quarter, and that the new facilitieswill be totally operational by January 10Phase one, when it is finished, will includethree squash courts, four full-size hand-ball/racquetball courts, new locker rooms,a 200-meter oval track with a 90-meterstraightaway, and, enclosed by the track, amulti-purpose court The court space can beset up for basketball, tennis, volleyball,badminton, as well as serving as the varsitybasketball court Fold-away grandstands inthe western part of the Field House will seatup to 1,500.Construction on phase two, which will befunded with a $500,000 grant received fromByR.W. RohdeFor the intramurals department, it’sgoing to be rough during the next threemonthsLike all athletic programs, IM is going toface a facilities squeeze. In addition, the IMoffice went through an unexpected changein leadership Bill Vendl, the director of thedepartment for the last 13 years, left thissummer to go to Ixmg Beach, Californiawhere he will take over as intramuraldirector Dan Tepke, who worked as hisassistant for the last four years, was officially appointed the new' director thisweekTepke faces a busy quarter with aninexperienced staff Besides his new' job,which includes jurisdiction over in¬tramurals, open recreational, and sportclub activities, he is also an assitant footballcoach, coordinator of the Stagg scholarship the Kresge foundation this summer, willbegin this fall and should be completed inabout a year Phase two will include allremaining renovations, including severalmore squash courts, more locker roomspace, and various rooms to be used forfencing, wrestling, marshall arts, battingpractice, and various other activities.The Field House isn’t the only plan in thew'orks. The University is building eight newtennis courts at 55th and Ingleside, also to becompleted this fall Other constructionincludes a gatehouse and press box at StaggField The gatehouse is finished and in¬cludes team rooms, restrooms, storagespace and a concessions area Plans are onthe drawing board for such things as ex¬panding Stagg Field to include a varsitysoftball diamond, and eventually a new tober 1 when an athletics facilities pass willbe required These passes are available inthe Bartlett Gym office for $5 and entitle theuser to a towel and a temporary lock For anadditional $7 plus $3 deposit one can get apermanent locker while they’re stillavailable.

Though there are no longerthe 102 courts there once were, theUniversity is still fairly well off when itcomes to tennis courts Besides the fieldhouse and the eight being built, there are atleast 16 more. The nicest courts are the fourvarsity courts found right on the quads, at58th and University. Next come the eightStagg Field courts on 55th and CottageGrove. Though the surfaces are quite nicethere is little wind protection, and trackingdown an occasional over-the fence shot canbecome quite tricky Four courts stillremain from the old Stagg Field courts byRegenstien library These courts, on 56thand Ellis, are the worst of the bunch,desperately needing resurfacing.Reservations.

Bloom) Lombardi's Legion, sweeping out of theeast, descended on Loras College lastSaturday. Led by the devastating running ofhalfback Dale Friar, the University ofChicago Maroons spent sixty minutes rip¬ping through the almost defenseless localsThe Maroon’s final winning score stood at55-22Friar had a field day, mowing downyardage and school records with equal ef¬fectiveness His final yardage figure 229yards, all on the ground is the new schoolrecord for both rushing and total offenseThe powerful back had enough yardage tomake three runners happy He also chippedin four touchdowns, another record Histhird score came on a 93-yard run fromscrimmage, which is the longest on ourbooks. In the third quarter Dale apparentlygot tired of going to the huddle, so he ran akickoff in from 77 yards outNeedless to say, as in any football gamethe standouts can only be as good as theirsupporting cast, and the whole Maroonsquad put in their share Fullback Mark Ramirez ripped up the sod for 156 yards anda couple of touchdowms, which would havebeen the story of the day if his backfieldmate hadn't been tearing around like Attilathe HunThe fact that both runners gained over 100yards, also known as the “magic centurymark" means that quarterback Mark Meierwas executing the wishbone option the wayit is drau’n up in the playbook and thatsomebody w as blockingOne such somebody was freshman StaggScholar Nick Fillippo, the other halfback inthe Maroon’s fullhouse backfield Fillipporushed for 55 yards on 11 carries, but hisbiggest contribution were key blocks to letFriar flyThe guys on the offensive line came in fora lot of praise from everybody Center A1Howe, guards Mike Dunn and Kim Johnson,tackles Greg Servatius < another freshmanStagg recipient), optimal Joe Knurek, endsJoe Olchevsky and Dan Cermak knockeddown the right people at the right time allafternoon Knurek especially deservesThe Kudos according to Coach Bob Lombardi,playing outstanding football while goingboth waysThough the Maroons passed sparingly,completing 5 of 9 for 74 yards, the aerialgame was effective Meier threw a pictureperfect pass to his tight end in the firstquarter for a 26 yard touchdow n play whichmay have indicated that if the Chicagoansneed to go up top in crucial situations the bigplay could be there11 the offense shows signs of being the bestand the brightest this year, the defense maybe the young and the restless Lombardidescribes the defense at this point as“adequate” but laments a “couple of break¬downs” in the opener, including one that ledto a touchdownThe biggest part of the problem is inex¬perience Only three players return topositions they played last year The rest areplayers either new to the particular spot orFootball to 50hicago Maroon Friday, September 23,1977 49Football from 49new to the team entirely, which makes forless than perfect execution this early in theseason.Up front the Monsters of the Midwayfeature David O’Connor at middle guard,flanked by tackles Andy Gardner and PaulGraff. David Burton holds down one endspot and the ubiquitous Knurek the other.Linebackers Mark Kosminkas and CarlHerzog are surrounded by a secondarycomposed of halfbacks David Newell andChuck Woods, free safety Greg River, andstrong safety .James Read.If Lombardi was qualified in his praise ofthe defense, he was downright dissatisfiedwith his kick teams, calling their per¬formance Saturday “very poor.” But thefact that special teams, which gave up oneof the Loras touchdowns, were the only realsore spot is an indication of the general levelof satisfaction with the team as it preparesfor its second game.The same word can be used to describeboth a good wishbone offense and drydynamite explosive. And if the openinggame is any indication, the Maroons mayhave gotten into the option offense body andsoul this year.Lombardi is entering his second year onthe Midway and had a few thoughts on thedifferences between college and highschoolball. As far as the coaching and the gamego. he sees “not all that much difference.”But in the college game, players aren’tprovided with the natural maturation ofeach generation of students. They must berecruited. And the coach was clear aboutwhere the failures were in this years effortsto lure players to Chicago’s South Side"We’re pleased with the boys we got, butwe need twice as many,” he said This year12 or 13 freshman are on the roster, butLombardi considers a year in which fewerthan 20 new players show up “poor.” Hewould like to see around 30.The Maroon traveling squad consists ofsoi iclbing over 30 bodies, which comparespoorly with the 50-55 players that next weeksopponent, St. Ambrose, will dress outFootball being a hitting sport and the humanbody being likely to suffer through a seasonof being beaten, depth becomes crucial inlater games.

In this way they could cope withthe constantly accelerating information explosion thatimpinges on their time every day.The WALTCO speed reading aid is unique in design,and simple to use It's purpose is to teach speedreading with accuracy at a price within reach of thelargest segment of the population.The WALTCO speed reading aid consists of uniquelydesigned palm sized plastic cards The cards help in¬crease reading speed by training the user to read wholegroups of words at a glance, instead of tediouslyreading words one by one. Included with the cards is aholder, instructions and suggestions for use.It has been said:“READERS ARE LEADERS”$4.95 - III.
