Withinthe little world of the dormitory system arepeople from many places, of many levels ofexperience and sophistication, who have chosenmany professions and have experienced asmany different backgrounds as there are resi­dents in the Halls. The success of a housingsystem in an educational community such asChicago is to be judged by the extent to whichthe residents meet and adjust themselves tothis diversity. The ease in inter-personal com­munication which the dormitory system fosterswill, if it is successful, promote one of thehighest purposes of the University: the under­standing and acceptance of diversity.20"1... ···•r' �,�'Were one to combine scholastic rooms withivied walls of stone and the imperturbableenthusiasm of college youth, he would realizea fine conception of the University ResidenceHalls. Although University officials speak ofthe Halls in terms of "integration of students"and "maturation," more than eight hundredresidents consider the dormitories as simply thefocal point of their University lives.There are sixteen dormitories in the residencehall system. Eight of these, which are withinthe Burton-Judson Courts, sland across the Mid­way from Harper Memorial Library. Built inthe early 1930's, the Courts cover one-third ofa block and reach from four to six stories inheight. More than a quarter million meals areserved annually in the two high-ceilinged din-ing halls. Double-decker bunks, hi-fidelity sys­tems, and chronic claustrophobia are all on aB-J boy's order of the day. And histories provethat only once has a resident been rescuedfrom atop the spiked gate which guards B-T'sentrance in the pre-dawn hours.21The particular house in which a student wasplaced this past year was determined by arecent University policy of placing residentsof like age and academic progress in the samehouse to as great an extent as practically pos­sible. (This policy has since been rescinded.)Chamberlin House was primarily occupied bydivisional students; Salisbury by veterans oftwo or more years in the College; Dodd, Mead,and Vincent by those who had spent one yearin the College; and Coulter, Mathews, and Linn. by entering students.2324 The immediate details of dormitory self­government are handled by house councilselected by each dormitory. These groups dealwith the newspapers and periodicals to be pur­chased by the house, parties and picnics, houseparticipation in intramural athletics, and cul­tural events to be subsidized (novel, if notwholly cultural, was Salisbury's visit en massethis year to the well-known State Street estab­lishment known as Minsky's).Activities for the Courts as a whole are con­ducted by the Burton-Judson Council, the elec­tive governing body of B-T, which has achieveda full slate of successes during the past ninemonths. Judson library, which contains long­playing records and assorted books, was staffedand operated under the direction of a Councilmember. Funds were appropriated to constructa high-fidelity phonograph system, which wasmade available on the same basis as the libraryfacilities. Motion pictures have been showneach Friday and Sunday evening, under Coun­cil sponsorship. A committee consolidated andregistered constructive criticism regarding thedining-hall menus. Council members were dele­gated to represent the Council on the SnackBar Committee, Student Union, Carnival Com­mittee, Alumni Association, and the All-CampusCivil Liberties Committee. Supervision of theCollege House News, a weekly mimeographednews letter carrying information of interest toB-J and C-group residents, has also been theresponsibility of the B-J Council. Justin Johnsonserved as President of the Council during1952-53.Interdorm Council, under Chairman Lou Ep­stein, is analogous to the B-J Council in manyof the services which it performs for the resi­dents. Parties and dinners within the C-groupwere instituted at the beginning of the year,and, in particular, a more liberal set of hoursregulations was granted by the Administrationat Interdorm request. The Interdorm Council,like B-rs, meets weekly, and on alternate weeksthe two Councils hold a joint meeting followingsupper in Foster Hall. Members of the Councilsreiterate the value of cooperation betweenthem, citing the Beaux-Arts Ball of April and the"Camp Farr Project" as examples of pro­grams which could not otherwise have beencarried out. -,INTER-DORM COUNCIL:First Row: Sylvia Winter, Publicity Chairman: Mrs. McCarn, Advisor: Lou Epstein,President: Marjorie Burckhardt, Secretary.

A self-helplaundry, consisting of washers, extractors, anddryers, will yield clean clothes for dirty in ex­change for a few dimes. The University LaundryService accepts and returns laundry and drycleaning, which is actually processed by anoutside cleaner. Ping pong and billiard tablesare offered to residents by the B-J Council. Andthose who wish to work with photographicparaphernalia will find a well-stocked dark­room available. All of these services exist inthe B-J basement.One of the more cultural of B-J institutionsis the German Table. Conducted by Messrs.(or Herren) Max Putzel and James Jones, bothmembers of the College German staff, the Tablecombines a social atmosphere of internationalunderstanding with increasing competency inspoken German. These students and facultymembers meet each weekday during the lunchhour and discuss whatever subjects they wish.Exchange students from Germany, periodicparties, slide shows, and record concerts arefeatures of this group.One of the most important and interesting ofthe activities located in Burton-Judson Courtsis WUCB, long known to UC'ers as Radio Mid­way. In the early years following the war, anumber of ex-signal corpsmen at the Univer­sity of Chicago formed a small group whichmet on and off, and at one of these sessionsRadio Midway was conceived. Amidst hastilyerected walls and makeshift soundproofing, theradio station arose in the basement of B-J.Financial aid from the University, and a gen­erous grant from Dr. Kenneth Chimene, who,along with his son, was interested in the useof radio as an educational and entertainmentmedium, afforded Radio Midway the meansfor expansion. Phone lines were rented to In­ternational House and the women's residencehalls, transmitters were installed, and RadioMidway became WGUS-World's Greatest Uni­versity Station. The next few years saw im­provements in the technical installation andanother change in name, when the FCC as­signed the station the call letters WUCB­University of Chicago Broadcasting .. But thestation and the FCC had reckoned without thecampus-Radio Midway it was, and RadioMidway it will remain as long as it exists.The WUCB format begins at two-thirty inthe afternoon. Chicago FM station WFMT i§_ rebroadcast from this time until seven P.M.Live programs start then and continue untilten or eleven, when FM programs are againrebroadcast until midnight. The live broadcastsinclude classical music, disk jockeys, recordedand live debates, variety shows, sports events,and special features, such as the March ofDimes Marathon, which collected over fivehundred dollars in 1952, and over two hundredand fifty dollars in 1953.Entirely student planned and produced, theseprograms often lack the polish of professionalradio. The station does not require experienceas a qualification for membership. As a result,its members learn as they produce, announce,and operate equipment. The station offers theopportunity of cooperative creation. The abili­ties of many persons go into the finishedproduct-the radio broadcast.But Radio Midway is more than just a stu­dent activity, for its purpose is three-fold: itserves as a student activity in providing ameans of expression for its members; as anextension of the College in providing educationand experience in the fields of radio; and as avehicle of communication in presenting enter­taining and educational programs to itsaudience.29First Row: Hunter, Usher, Clauss, Emrich, Sherman, Marumoto, Katzen.

Dickson when, manyyears ago, they began inviting foreign studentsto their Chicago home, and it was the samepurpose which inspired John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,in 1932, to build for these students and otherslike them, Chicago's International House. Now,in 1952-53, some 500 graduate students fromapproximately 50 countries live together in this"international community under one roof." Oneof four International Houses throughout theworld-the others being in New York. Berkeley,and Paris-the Chicago House is self-support­ing and a part of the University of Chicago;and, though the residents study in many in­stitutions of higher learning in Chicago, themajority are enrolled in the University, andHouse activities are open to all students of theUniversity of Chicago.In cooperation with the permanent staff, theHouse Council this year planned a myriad ofactivities; and foreign students received a realtaste of American politics, since one of the tworepresentatives elected by every floor eachquarter to the House Council was not a U. S.citizen. The year's Presidents, Polly (Mary E.)Paulson, of Oak Park, Illinois, and Francoise39Nanin, of Lille, France, worked with Advisor Al­vin Skardon, Secretary Gene Stivers, and Treas-urers Melvin Larson, Jack Ferguson, and ErnstMoses to begin the custom of House dinnersgiven by national groups; inaugurate an in­formal date bureau for House formals; institutea Public Relations Committee to work specifi­cally to create easy opportunities for new andold residents to form meaningful friendships.The Compass, House newspaper publishedby the Communications Committee and editedby Maureen Felix-Williams of England, withCoen Oort of Holland, changed from a bi­weekly to a weekly, and to an organ for alumniand the Board of Governors as well as resi­dents. The Music Committee, formed in 1951-52,continued its record concerts each Tuesdayand Thursday evening and Sunday morning,in addition to live music programs and a rapidlyincreasing record-lending library. Quarterlysemi-formal dances included a Rome Festival;a Commedia delle Arte; the Mardi Gras; anda Coronation Ball, presented by House resi­dents from the British Commonwealth. TheSocial Committee planned Sunday teas, Fridayand Sunday dances, and special receptionparties; and the Education Committee presentedWednesday evening discussion programs of student panels and faculty and outside speak­ers. In addition, two tours of Chicago, recep­tions of visiting dignitaries, language classes,and foreign movies each Monday evening aresponsored by the House Activities Office.When residents leave "Int. House," they canjoin the International House Association of thefour Houses, which now has chapters in mostlarge cities of the world. The Chicago chaptersponsors folk dances each Tuesday, a play­reading group, and get-togethers of alumni andresidents, as well as the Quarterly [outtial.Groups within the House, such as the IndiaAssociation, the French Club, and the Iberio­American Club, present programs for thewhole House from time to time.But the purpose of Int. House is not merelyactivities; but that through living, working,studying, and playing together, the residentswill come to understand that "Nothing that ishuman is foreign." Diverse groups in color,creed, or national origin are no longer diverse.From this international community on a smallscale, it is the hope of International House thatits residents may return to their countries towork, on a much larger scale, for the samefellowship, tolercmce, and understanding.40And some live off-campus414244 I am delighted with the reawakenedinterest in new and constructive studentcctivities as evidenced by the Cap andGown Yearbook. It is a good thing toreconstruct the experiences you haveenjoyed during your period of residenceat the University of Chicago, and inlater years the book will remind youof people and events you knew in yourassociation with one of the world'sgreat universities. I trust also that inthese later years this book will remindyou of the values and ideals for whichthis University has always stood-oftruth, of freedom, of human dignity.As educated men and women you haveacquired an obligation to extend thesevalues beyond our Grey Towers intoa world which in the middle of thetwentieth century stands very muchin need of them.Lawrence A. KimptonLaird BellThe Council of the Senate 4546 THE COLLEGEThe College of the University of Chicago,particularly since the adoption of the "NewPlan" in 1942, has been devoted to teachingthe three intellectual virtues: clear thinking,intellectual honesty, and wisdom. It has equallybeen pledged to acquainting the students withthe ideas of the great thinkers of the West. andto developing the qualities which are cardinalin the formation of a thinking individual anda citizen of a free society, and which makeof a man a successful human being ratherthan a mere technician or specialist. ignorantof the world beyond his specialty and unableto communicate with others than fellow­specialists.To achieve these broad goals, the Collegehas been directed at three more specific ob­jectives. The first of these is the developmentof the ability to read understandingly; thesecond is the ability to make considered judq­ments of arguments and opinions; and the lastis the ability to communicate one's thoughtsto other persons.The successful candidate for the Bachelor'sdegree must demonstrate either by plocement=tests, at the time of his arrival on the Midway,or by comprehensive examinations, that he issufficiently competent in seven areas ofknowledge and understanding: the humanities,social sciences, natural sciences, mathematics,English, a foreign language, and the integra­tion of the fields of knowledge. The ChicagoB.A., then, has represented an objective content 47(rrve-, )Discussof general liberal education, rather than thechaotic four-year tangle of "surveys", electives,semi-specialization, and course credits whichhave traditionally added up to the AmericanBachelor of Arts. Possession of a Bachelor'sdegree from the College is not certification thatthe graduate has achieved wisdom, but rather,an assertion by the College faculty that theyhave judged him to be at least literate, and topossess at least a minimal command of theseskills and areas of knowledge.Since 1942, a number of unique institutionshave developed as corollaries to the theoryand practice of general education. Independentcourse staffs in the College are responsibleto no higher authority on matters concerningcurriculum and related affairs. The staffs them­selves consist of teachers free from the pres­sure of conducting research projects and fromthe responsibility of determining their students'final grades. In the classroom, emphasis isplaced not on lectures but upon discussions,not on text-books but upon source documents.Placement tests replace a fixed number of yearsof formal education as an indication of thepoint at which the student should begin in theCollege, and comprehensive examinations re­place the course unit as the indication of achieve­ment. Those students who have completed a4950 year's residence are not compelled to attendclass, nor are any of the student's quarterlyexaminations used in determining his finalmark. One of the most revolutionary aspectsof the program is the acceptance of sufficientlycapable and mature entrants after only thesophomore year of high school. Yet. despite adegree of freedom almost unprecedented inAmerican universities, class attendance hasbeen high, and the scholastic performance ofChicago College students is far in excess ofmost of their peers elsewhere.The College, as organized by PresidentHarper, the great educational pioneer of hisday, underwent many changes under his suc­cessors, and, since the institution of the "NewPlan" by Chancellor Hutchins in 1942, changesin the College program have been made almostannually, to bring the practice of general edu­cation at Chicago nearer to the theory in theminds of its proponents. Within the last yearhowever, the basic postulates of the College,as regards the relationships between teachingand research, general and specialized educa­tion, the College and the Divisions, educationand freedom, class attendance and academicsuccess, the University and the community ap­pear to have been subject to serious recon­sideration. Though the Administration has notyet stated a theoretical formulation of the futurerole of the College in the University, certainchanges have been made which indicate thatthe current re-examination of the functions ofthe College will eventuate in more than modi­fications within the framework of the presentCollege program.Apart from procedural changes such as re­strictions placed on students' "floating" (at­tending classes other than their own in coursesfor which they are registered), and an increas­ing emphasis on quarterly examinations, themost significant departure from the concept ofthe College as a discrete educational unit, ad­ministering a program of general educationculminating in the Bachelor's degree, was thedecision to grant a Bachelor of Science degreein the Biological Sciences Division after fouryears of study, with the College program tobe adjusted in such a manner as to make thispossible. The demands of the Humanities andPhysicol Sciences Divisions for similar pro­grams, though presumably dictated by theirdesire to increase enrollment by facilitatingthe transfer of students to and from the Uni­versity, leave highly uncertain the future roleof the College and the "New Plan" within arestored four-year educational pattern.Whatever form the College may assume inthe future, the influence of its ideas, if not itsexact forms, on American higher educationcannot be contested, since the national trendtoward general education seems clearly estab­lished. The influence of the College on thestudents who have passed through it in the lasteleven years has been no less, and there arefew of them who do not feel that they havebeen part of a great and stimulating adventure.They, and American higher education, willbe the debtors of the College of the Universityfor many years to come.51 IQ � .. 11 -e Q • ,,::-"';';;:=:"-i)l,)IJ,).3 ';)"c.., .. !,.�:•II v..�0(I0• �..• ..• 00 0 ••oo•oII52F.

WRIGHTSocial Service Administration55The Division of56 As part of a university community making aconcerted inquiry into the nature of the worldand of man, the Division of the Social Sciences,largest of the University of Chicago divisions,seeks to increase the knowledge of man in con­tact with ideas, institutions, and other men.The splitting of the Division into some twentydepartments and committees is based less onclear theory than on concessions to two seem­ingly conflicting principles of organization­specialization and coordination.The traditional disciplines are representedby departments from Anthropology, investi­gating cultural and social forces in a widecomparative and historical framework, toSociology, which finds its problems of socialrelations and group life in a modern Westernsetting.More fluid organizationally are the inter-de­partmental committees. Arising from socialquestions and needs insoluble along conven­tional lines, committees apply the relevantfacets of a few or many departments to theirwork. The Committee on Industrial Relations,for example, sends its students to the Depart­ments of Economics, Sociology, Psychology,and Political Science for credits.the Social SciencesContent as the scholar may be with hisspecialty, he is prompted continually by theDivision as a whole to make use of diversepoints of view.Each student entering the Division has abackground of general education. The Collegeprovides the broader understanding so valuableas a basis for specialization. Beyond this, thegradaute student pursues his more closely de­fined study with the aid of departments otherthan his own.The Division believes that such a plan willresult in a firm grasp of the nature of man insociety, based on a wider understanding ofman and his world.57The Division of the Humanities is an aggre- The Divisiongate of those disciplines which study and in-trepret man in the role of creator, and the meansby which he communicates his ideas and artis-tic creations to his fellow man. Hence, the sub-ject matter of humanistic studies includes thearts, languages and literature, philosophy, andhistory-in which creative man is placed inhis temporal sequence.Until early in the thirties when the divisionas it now exists was incorporated, its depart­ments existed as separate entities within theUniversity. The process of integration and co­operation among these various disciplines whichwas then begun, has since been furthered bythe formation of Inter-Departmental Commit­tees. Within these committees students whowish to study subjects which involve the tech­niques and subject matter of two or more de­partments are able to carry out a unified pro­gram of study to satisfy their individual needs.A single characteristic which has aided thisgrowth of interdepartmental programs is the•• ••__ < +1.. ... ,.!on ...... tTnpnt!': have common meth-Prof. Parmenter Prof. McKeon Prof. Smith Prof. Kraeling58of the Humanities ods and aims which apply to their variousspecial disciplines, and a common referenceto the basic principles of knowledge and action.Not content to appreciate works of art or tocatalogue the ideas of past thinkers the de­partments proceed to analyze and understand,to evaluate and criticize the objects of theirstudies. At times analysis may be most im­portant, as in history; it may go hand in handwith evaluation, as in literature and the arts;but even in the latter subjects, however, one orthe other method may be stressed in differentcourses. Valid criticism always presupposes athorough knowledge of the relevant materials.Philosophy, on the other hand, is concernedchiefly with the underlying principles whichserve as criteria for evaluation and as rules ofanalysis; but it must rely on its students' clearlyunderstanding the texts most relevant to itsspecial purposes.From philosophy critics receive their princi­ples, and philosophers take ideas and inspira­tion from art and literature. History, in turn,reveals the problems of past generations, theconditions that gave their answers significance,and the processions and recessions of man'sproper creation-civilization. Thus, the commonaim of all the humanities is, simply, to en­hance man's capacity to understand, enjoy,and produce the unrivalled creations of hisinnate humanity.\I,�...• •." ,. 1£ _Prof. CreelProf. McCown Prof. Bobrinskoy 59The Division ofUREyByERS60 the Physical SciencesCHANDRASEKHARTen years after the historic first chain re­action was set off underneath the Stagg Fieldstands, the Physical Sciences Division of theUniversity continued its pioneering in imporantresearch.

The faculty mixes teaching withimportant research. and the more advancedstudents are active in research also.Perhaps the outstanding event of the yearwas the opening of the impressive ArgonneCancer Research Hospital. next to Billings Hos­pital. Built for the Atomic Energy Commission.the Hospital will devote its services entirelyto cancer patients and research in cancertreatment by radioactive materials. The build­ing is splendidly equipped; the Van de Graafaccelerator. the linear accelerator and thecobalt-SO therapy machine being housed in thesub-basement. Altogether. the use of radioactivematerials is perhaps the most important newdevelopment in biological sciences. The sightof the new cancer hospital and the acceleratorbuilding two blocks down on Ellis Ave. is mostdefinitely food for thought.In addition to its research accomplishments.however. the Division is equally proud of itsteaching at the undergraduate. graduate andpost-graduate levels.

Justice Frankfurteralso gave two formal addresses, one at the annual LawReview Banquet, the other, a public lecture at MandelHall on Legal Education and Supreme Court Litigation,the Iirst in a series in honor of the late Prof. Ernst Freund.The quarterly conferences on important legal topics atwhich experts from the entire country speak continued toattract the interest of the profession.' Judge Learned Hand,who was awarded an honorary degree, spoke at thespecial banquet celebrating the school's fiftieth anniversary.The Law Review, edited by students and including theworks of law teachers, lawyers, and selected students,'published its twentieth volume.' One of its quarterly issueswas devoted to a symposium on civil rights. The school'smoot court team placed second in nation-wide competition.Beecher Hall, right across from the school, opened as alaw dormitory." Besides offering living accommodationsfor students, a Beecher House Council has been createdwhich has furthered the social life of the school throughthe sponsorship of parties, receptions, and athletic activitiesand has encouraged the contact of students with facultyand members of the bar.64 Justice Frankfurter and Prol.

Each has a separate build­inq. but they share in common the same full­time faculty (which comprise the largestProtestant theological faculty in the country),the same classes, and the same degree pro­grams. Our academic entrance requirements66 The FederatedTheologicalSchoolsare similar to the other professional and gradu­ate schools. We, too, have our special purpose(a simple, but presumptious one)-to spend ouryears here searching out life's meaning. Formost of us the most adequate interpretation oflife is presented in the Christian Faith, andtherefore we wish to confront the faith morethoroughly than we have done. Some of us areless sure about any ultimate values, and weenter with an air of tentativeness.This kind of education is achieved in theclasses, in study, and in formal and informalstudy groups. The faculty hopes that we willstay long enough to take a degree program inone of the eight fields of specialization in thedepartment. MA programs generally taketwo years; BD, about three; and PhD, sev­eral more. The hope is that after our study wewill be able to speak to our culture from theview-point of our faith either as teachers,preachers, or religious leaders. It is for thisreason that we examine our faith using thepoint of view and the methods of the disciplinesof the University. At the same time we attemptto hold a tension between these methodologi­cal assumptions and the Faith itself.All of us, high, low, or no-church, find thatthe same searching out of our presuppositionsis demanded of us. Weare either too rigid andneed to be shattered, or so pliable and seem­ingly formless that we need to be shaped. Wefind ourselves defensive about our most cher­ished beliefs. There is a painful relinquishmentof the old and the struggle to realize the novel.The personal involvement is high and the emo­tions become very sensitive at this stage of theinvolvement. The years pass and we beginto lake on a new life.Haskell HallSchoolofBusiness The School of Business, founded in 1898,was th� second such institution set up in thenation. 'fhe basic hypothesis of the curriculumis that the business man, operating in a chang­ing social environment, achieves successlargely in terms of his ability to solve businessproblems-problems of business policy, prob­lems of organization, and problems of opera­tion. Since most students cannot foresee whatpositions they will hold, the chief emphasis ison fundamentals rather than upon narrowspecialization. Through emphasis upon under­lying principles and upon analysis, the schoolseeks to develop in its students the capacityto deal intelligently with the increasing com­plexities and constantly changing problems ofbusiness administration and to meet new situa­tions and new problems in new ways. Thefaculty of the school holds that this trainingmaterially shortens the apprenticeship of thosewho, possessing the intangible and indefinableelements of executive ability, will emerge assuccessful business men; and that this trainingwill in time raise appreciably the general levelof economic and business intelligence of thecommunity.Through the years the faculty has conductedresearch appropriate to the unique positionof the University of Chicago. Among researchproblems now being investigated are the natureof competition in the petroleum industry, thedevelopment of a technique for measuringbrand loyalty, and the uses of business fore­casts in budgeting.Through its various activities the Schoolseeks to contribute to the development ofleaders among the scholars and administratorsof business and to prepare men and womenfor competent and satisfying participation inthe management of business. Pro!' Garfield V. CoxWalter KennonThe School of Social Service Administrationis perhaps better known in the nation thanamong the students here at Chicago where thesuperlative is accepted as a matter of course.This school. whose organization in 1920 as thefirst school of social work to be incorporatedinto a university as a professional school offer­ing graduate education marked an epoch inprofessional education for social welfare andwas but another concrete manifestation of theChicago tradition of progressive innovation ineducation. A broad generic course of studycomplemented by extensive field work and re­search opportunities is designed to develop aprofessional attitude and competence basedon a sound philosophy of welfare and socialpolicy. The product. teachers, researchers,dedicated field workers, and competent ad­ministrators, have fulfilled the high expecta­tions and fully vindicated the pioneering spiritthat is Chicago.School ofSocial ServiceAd min istrationHIGHLIGHTS OfWILSoN AD PARNASSUMGarfield Cox retired this year as Dean of the School ofBusiness, and was succeeded by 36-year-old John [euck.a three-degree graduate of this University, who became afull professor last fall Everett C_ Hughes, whose"French Canada in Transition" is well known by Soc.Sci.

AWARDSRoGERSJoHNSoNMERRIAM7ZRobert M. Strozier, Dean of Students74The preceding pages have presented the formal aspects of theUniversity which the student encounters after having arrived on theMIdway: a housing system which, at its best, is a challenge to itsresidents and an important pari of their education; a College whosehighest goal is teaching its students to understand and to think; gradu­ate schools and divisions emphasizing research and independent in­quiry-in short, the material prerequisites through which a new stu­dent can become part of a community of scholars.Even the most scholarly, however, do not live by books alone, andno University dedicated to the whole man can disregard what shouldbe the extra-curriculum. This University, notwithstanding misconcep­tions both on, and off campus, is far from doing so. Yet it is often saidthat the University of Chicago has no traditions or customs; that welack the spirit that makes the students of other Universities so vehe­ment and often-long-winded in praise of whatever alma mater towhich happen to have been subjected. It is true that a superficial com­parison with other institutions of higher learning reveals certain omis­sions in Chicago's extra-curriculum: there is, for instance, no foot­ball team and no grimly determined cheerleaders to organize enthu­siasm. But these things, appropriate as they may be to the spirit andtraditions of the institutions where they flourish, are not intrinsic toa University. Their absence from the Midway indicates only that theChicago extrc-curriculum is its own, and a necessary part of thisUniversity's program. And if we look around with this in mind, wefind that Chicago has many traditions. We have the tradition in thecurricular and in the extra-curricular of independence of approach;grades and examinations are little more than a necessary evil andare looked upon as such. The student, who becomes interested in aparticular course or in individual research is willing to fall behind inhis other courses, to skip that class now and then, and to recognizethat education is not merely a matter of organized class routine orfor that matter organized extra-curricular activities whose sequenceof events (for reasons not understood by anyone) have been outlinedand from which he cannot-under penalty of sin-deviate. Above allthe Chicago educational plan might be summarized in the phrase"free choice", in that its students are expected to acquire the knowl­edge and the mental habits for making well-considered decisions. Inkeeping with this ideal the extra-curriculum offers to the student a widechoice of activities in which he mayor may not participate and aparticular feature of life on the Midway is that participation, while7576 Ruth O. McCarnAssistant Dean of StudentsWilliam E. ScottRegistrarAlbert F. CottonBursarapproved as an invaluable supplement to academic life, is basedon no social pressure to "join". The emphasis at Chicago, therefore,is on student initiative, both in joining and in organizing. The facilitiesof the University are at the disposal of students desring to use them,and a benevolent Administration encourages any promising proposalfor new activity. But it is not the policy of the Administration tostringently control or to closely supervise student activities or to fosteractivities for which there is no real student interest. Our Yearbookand campus newspaper, for instance, are not adjuncts to a School ofJournalism or the English Department. directed by a faculty or theAdministration, and merely carried out by the students. These orqcni­zcrtions. and all others, are directed by their student members in themanner of their choice.On this basis of student self-expression and encouragement from theAdministration stands the vast array of organizations which this bookportrays, all of which, from rockets to ballet, and from non-westernmusic to neo-Dadaism, draw their vitality from students interestedenough in these subjects to found organizations to pursue them. Thebroad and unconventional gamut of our extra-curriculum is a mirror tothe intellectuaL social, artistic, religious and political interests of ourstudent body. And the list of student organizations is never complete,for as students acquire new interests, they establish new organizationswithin which to develop them. Thus, the extra-curriculum is a directresult of the widening of horizons which is a principal goal of the cur­riculum. As long as the University retains its present concept of highereducation, the extra-curriculum will continue to fill this unique roleas a supplement to formal instruction; and as long as the studentsremain informed and convinced of that concept. student activitieswill continue to be based upon student self-expression and initiative.We ccm by aid (by such aid as the publicity in such a book as thiscan provide) continue this attitude and its growth. We will hinder it.if we try to solve the problem of student activities by importing inwhole or piecemeal attitudes, traditions and customs from other Uni­versities that could not exist here without changing the basic conceptsof the University of Chicago. If we as students constantly keep thisin mind, if we develop this student body-its ideals and attitudes-inaccordance with the educational plan of which we are proud, thenthese activities will continue to increase.

It was with this progress in mind,that we dedicated this book to Robert M.Strozier, Dean of Students. Because of thisprogress, however, this book has had to beconstantly revised in order to give the properrecognition to the many organizations that havebecome so important a part of the student'slife at the University. At times this revisionhas created confusion, and it is upon our at­tempt to expand the Yearbook that we placethe blame for any mistakes in fact or identity.Our efforts, however, have been directed to­wards one major goal. Too often a Yearbooksuggests a miniature version of the old fash­ioned mail order catalogue; it has been ourattempt to vary both the organization andformat (to coincide with the variety of interestsdepicted in this book) in order to avoid sucha meaningless repetition. Until the last minutewe have changed and varied the book, andin so doing have tried many an experimentthe results of which will be known only whenthe book comes off the press. I hope that thoseof you who read this book and who enjoy itwill find time to aid the Editor-in-Chief whofollows me this Fall. I wish him and you goodluck in the furtherance of this project.Richard L.

While the room stoodanxiously quiet, master of ceremonies Louis Schaeferannounced that the campus had chosen LindaMarinelli Miss U, of C.This was a small part of the fiftieth WashingtonPromenade, one of Student Union's largest events.Last year SU produced and sponsored over onehundred events for the campus.103The former Social Committee of the Univer­sity of Chicago is given credit for being Stu­dent Union's parent body. With the post-warinflux of students. the need for a well co­ordinated program became more and more evi­dent. In 1946. a number of organizations whoseactivities lay in the social field united aroundthe Social Committee to form Student Union.Since December 6 of that year. when the Unionwas formally organized. it has presented overtwenty-seven hundred events which havedrawn an attendance in excess of one hundredand seventy-five thousand students. A surveytaken by the Association of College Unionsin 1948 showed that the Chicago Student Unionpresented the third largest recreational programin the nation.A drop in enrollment and some change inthe nature of the student body prompted theUnion to alter its organization and structurein 1952. The President. who is official spokes­man for the Union. and an Executive Councilof the five officers co-ordinate SU activities.supervise the overcrll SU program. and act inmatters relating to the Union and other organ­izations or persons. The Vice-President servesas liaison officer between the SU departmentsand the Executive Council. His periodic reportson the departments and their activities keepthe officers informed on these matters. whilehis expert guidance aids the departments incarrying out their programs. In addition toassisting the President. the veep chairs theadministrative department. composed of sev­eral temporary and permanent committees.which deal with personnel. continuity. andspecial large events. The business operationsof the Union are conducted by the Secretaryand Treasurer. who handles Union finance. correspondence. and office supervision. Pub­licity and public relations are supervised bythe Publicity Chairman. whose department alsoconstructs displays and advertises all SU events.The Student Union Board. responsible foroverall policy and direction. is composed of thefive members of the Executive Council and theChairmen of the four major departments. TheBoard is advised by two faculty members. fourSU alumni advisors. and such special con­sultants as the Board feels it needs. The Boardmeets on the first Tuesday of every month inthe Student Union office on the htird floor ofIda Noyes HalL where. besides its office. SUhas a workshop containing mimeo and dittoequipment to turn out posters. calendars.notices. and reports.The bulk of Student Union activities arecarried out by four large departments. TheOUTING CLUB draws its participants from allover the Chicago area and has long beenknown throughout the country for its outstand­ing program of tours and excursions. whichtake the participants as far afield as the ski­runs of the Rockies and the sun-drenched Keysof Florida. The DANCE DEPARTMENT. a con­tinuation of the former Social Committee. hascarried on the sixty-year tradition of Washing­ton Promenade; and its program of severalC-dances each quarter is enhanced by the useof unusual and imaginative themes. The REY­NOLDS CLUB COUNCIL survived a stormyinfancy two years ago and now presentssmokers. lectures. receptions. and informaldances. The fourth major department. and theyoungest. is the IDA NOYES COUNCIL. createdduring the 1952 reorganization. and now de­veloping a large program utilizing the facilitiesof Ida Noyes.105106The preparation for an event begins whenit is scheduled. About a month before the endof each quarter, the Student Union Board meetsto plan next quarter's program. A large blankcalendar of the coming quarter is set up inthe Union office. The department chairmen,after discussing the program with their depart­ments, place chosen events on the calendar.Things are then shifted and shuffled by theBoard, a smaller copy of the calendar is made,and it begins its peregrinations. It goes firstto the Activities Co-Ordinating Committee tobe reshuffled until the major events of thelarger campus organizations mesh smoothly;next to the Student Activities Office for registra­tion; and finally to the printer.A typical event, such as the annual "Nightof Sin", begins its career as a scrawled nota­tion in one of the small boxes on the prelimi­nary autumn calendar. Several months beforethe event, the Ida Noyes Council meets andslowly, week after week, the "'Night" is planned.The Council divides into committees. One com­mittee chooses the rooms to be used, then ar­ranges and decorates them. Another decideswhat equipment is wanted. The giant farowheel. the roulette wheels, the bingo games,and other nefarious paraphernalia must beordered well in advance; bales of money (?)must be packaged into bundles to be sold. Therefreshments committee orders edibles andpotables. Now the publicity department goesinto action: "MAROON" ads are bought. storiesare written, and posters are made and printed.Financial arrangements and budgets arecleared with Miss Denton, the auditor of stu­dent accounts. Last minute checks are madewith all persons concerned. At last, the day of the event rolls around.Equipment arrives early in the morning to beset up. As the hour nears, ticket takers assumetheir places at the doors; the housemen are attheir tables; food and drink stand ready. Andnow the aspiring sinners swarm through thedoors. The click of the faro wheel resoundsabove the tumult. Money flows across thecounters. Beady-eyed gamblers cluster aboutthe dice and block-jock tables. Fortunes changehands in an instant and ruined gamblers, everhopeful, reel from table to table, while winnersstagger to the sideboards to squander theirgains on rare and heady beverages. The fevermounts unrelentingly until retribution, in theguise of Walter the watchman, turns therevelers out into the night. As silence descendson Ida Noyes, and the students-sans sin­are convalescing over their milk shakes at"Reader's" or the "T-Hut", the Council, re­emerging from the shadows, goes into highgear. The building is restored and all the in­struments of sin are locked away in less thanthirty minutes.And so, one of twenty-seven hundred eventshas been run off.107A standard one quarter program usually in­cludes two or three C-dances, a large vent inIda Noyes Hall such as "Night of Sin", series ofevents in the Reynolds Club such as informaldances, smokers, receptions, lectures, art ex­hibits, and touraments, events by the OutingClub, and occasionally a concert or play inMandel Hall. The first month of the school yearis Student Union's busiest period. Towards theend of the summer, a series of committees isset up to handle the orientation week program,one committee to plan the picnic, another toarrange SU's display for Activities Night, athird to work on the Open House. Then thereis the Chancellor's Reception and the first C­dance of the quarter, with teas and divisionalorientation events filling in the picture.The Winter Quarter is far from being a slackperiod, since, in addition to the regular SUprogram, Washington Promenade shows uphere. Wash Prom, almost everyone of whoseperformances has been at a different place,celebrated its fiftieth anniversary this year atthe Sheraton Hotel.

Although sponsored by SU, theCarnival is really a co-operative enterprisebetween SU and many of the other organiza­tions on campus. It wos run for the first timelast year, behind Burton-Judson courts, andmost of the residents, as well as many otherenthusiastic students turned out for the event.This year, it was held on Saturday, April 11,in the Field House, and if nothing else, it hadplenty of room to move about in.The close of the Winter Quarter was markedby the annual election of officers. FormerPresident Richard Karlin turned the SU gavelover to Bruce Larkin, Elliott Goldstein was re­elected treasurer, and Thelma Yutsn waselected secretary. The new officers took thereins at the start of the Spring Quarter.

Editor-in-Chiet.The binder's paste isn't dry yet on the maroonleather volume that marks the end of theMAROON'S sixty-first year of publication.280,000 copies of the MAROON have been dis­tributed from Glendive, Montana to Bombay,India. A complete set of a year's MAROONSwould contain 750,000 words of news, features,reviews, editorials, letters, sports stories, andwhat have you, along with the 32,000 squareinches of advertisements that paid their way.That's this year's MAROON-in cold statis­tics. To her 8,500 readers, perhaps the MAROONis something more. They criticize her, praiseher, but famous or notorious, the MAROONis a controversial piece of newsprint, and hasbeen that way for 61 years.Mentor for the MAROON this year wasEditor Joan Brennard, a College student. Shewas elected to the post last May, just as thestaff elected her successor this May.It takes more than a linotype and a bottleof ink to put out a newspaper. On March 1,the official staff list bore the names of 64 uni­versity students. Some were trained journalists,but most were people who learned journalismon the MAROON staff.Every Monday they assembled in Staff meet­ings to vote on editorials, dicuss policy, andcriticize their own efforts of the previous week.Every Tuesday they combed the campus andthe neighborhood for news and ads. EveryWednesday they joined in the frantic rush toget the paper assembled before the 10 p.m.deadline. Every Thursday a group of them wentto the Garfieldian Print Shop to see the MAROON through its final phase of produc­tion. And every Friday morning they grabbedthe first copies and read their own stories first.Their pictures appear on these pages.These students ran the MAROON. Theychose the stories, passed on the editorials,elected the editor, and exercised all of theirprerogatives under a democratic constitutionrare among collegiate journals. Though theiropinions dotted all wave lengths of the politicalspectrum, and a unanimous vote was a rarity,they all showed a fundamental concern foracademic freedom and the freedom of the press.They weren't the only contributors to theMAROON'S columns. The Letters to the Editorcolumn echoed the words of irate campus politi­cians, a Venezuelan student who needed books,students who liked the MAROON and studentswho didn't, a faculty member who had astrange dream, and a host of others. Articlescame in from U. of C. students abroad. andstudents abroad who had heard of the Uni­versity.For every line of copy the MAROON printed,the editors threw away three. That still leftroom for stories about deans and deuterium,the bachelor degree and basketbalL recordsand rockets, ACCLC and the Ark Committee.The MAROON had personnel problems, styleproblems, money problems, quality problems,space problems, and public relations prob­lems. So did the MAROON the year before,and the year before that, and all its sixty-oneyears. Yet all through those years the MAROONhas come out and the students have read it.III112Ken Karlin, Neva Van Peski, June McWilliams, Linda Marinelli. F. N. Karmatz(Editor), John Ottenheimer, Allan Peskin.In recent years the student-edited ChicagoReview has been transformed into a quarterlyrepresentative of the creative thinking of theentire University. Originally, as a literaryquarterly, the Review provided the campuswith fiction and poetry by both recognizedwriters and as yet unsung students. Today itspages are filled largely from periodic competi­tions among students. faculty, and alumni ofthe University. New forms-articles of currentinterest. critiques, and art work-round out thescope of the new Review.The success of the Chicago Review lies inthe desire of a few students in each part of theUniversity to go beyond the pale of term papersand essay exams, write for the fun of writing,and see their names in print. Of these students,about fifteen, with an added penchant towardsediting, comprise the staff of the magazine.This year the editor is F. N. Karmatz.In the Winter Quarter of 1953 the staff helda special creative writing contest. the winningentry to be published in the Review. ContestJudge Gwyn Kolb of the English faculty gavefirst honors to the sonnet "Figure" by GeorgeJackson. Honorable mention was awarded thepoems of M. J. Phillips and Chip Karmatz.113Music continued to be one of the main extra­curricular attractions on campus. In additionto the University's traditional institutions newgroups vrete active.Rockefeller Chapel was filled several timesfor performances by the University Choir. Inthe Fall the choir sang Handel's "Israel inEgypt" and "The Messiah"; in the Spring Bach's"S!. Matthew Passion" and "B Minor Mass"were presented. Richard Vikstrom conductedthe choir which was accompanied by off-cern­pus soloists and members of the Chicago Sym­phony Orchestra. A smaller group, also underMr. Vikstroms direction, the Collegium Musi­cum, continued to entertain the campus withpresentations of medievaL renaissance, baro­que, and early classical music. Less known,music was given by the Collegiate Sinfoniet�a.under Dieter Sober, and the new University ofGlee Club Chicago Musical Society. The latter, a studentchamber music ensemble with wide musicalrange, gave opportunity for music-making tostudents with insufficient time to devote to morenormal groups.A recent addition to campus vocal groups isthe Glee Club, which sang at a number ofcampus functions during the year. Since thefall quarter the University has provided theClub with a permanent conductor, WendellRider, and the group is now steadily growing.As in past years prominent professionalartists performed at the Friday evening Univer­sity Concerts. Jennie Tourel, Eugene Istomin andthe Mozart Trio were heard during the AutumnQuarter. Four string ensembles, the Hungarian,New York, Amadeus and Loewenguth Quartetswere the winier program. Of these the dis­tinguished artistry of the New York Quartet.Collegiumwhich includes Myeczislav Horszowski, Alex­ander Schneider, Milton Katims and FrankMiller was particularly well received. TheAlbeneri Trio, Alexander Schneider conductinga chamber orchestra, and Carol Brice gave theSpring concerts.Other musical events on campus during theyear included a concert by the Don Cossackchorus, sponsored by Student Union, a jazzconcert with accompanying lecture on theorigin and history of jazz by semanticist S. 1.Hayakawa, sponsored by Intercl ub Counciland the Co-op Nursery School and the appear­ance of some student musicians at the UC-NavyPier basketball game.OctetUniversity Concerts115University Theater This 1952-53 season marks UniversityTheater's sixth year of campus drama produc­tion. The present organization, founded in 1946by George Blair, is the successor to a longtradition of dramatic production at the Univer­sity. Its predecessors, the Dramatic Associa­tion, The Blackfriars, the Players Guild andmany others, all contributed to a long and richhistory of University drama. Chicago is almostunique among the large universities of thecountry in having no academic drama or speechdepartment. The aim of campus play-produc­tion, therefore, has never been the trainingof actors or workers for the professional stage.Here theater had always been an importantactivity, but important in itself, as a testing­ground, a forum for plays new and old. Ourshas been, in the best sense, a literary theater,an extension of the University's ideals andstandards in this important branch of thehumanities.At a time when the tributary theaters wereintent on reproducing the popular successesof the New York stage, University Theater hasbuilt a highly significant record of productionin both classical and contemporary drama,always stressing the importance of new plays,original scripts, and new translations. Whileexploring the works of Sophocles and Aris­tophanes, U. T. has been a leader among theexperimental theaters which during the lastfew years have turned to the work of Kafka,Sartre, Strindberg and Cocteau. U. T's recordis particularly rich in works of the Elizabethans,in Shakespeare, Marlowe, Jonson, Webster,Beaumont and Fletcher. Modern verseplays such as T. S. Eliot's Murder in theCathedral and Restoration comediessuch as Farquhar's The Beaux Strata­gem and Wycherley's The CountryWife are bright spots in the U. T. past.This year the theater has greatly ex­panded its program. Studio productionsin the theater's Reynolds Club audi­torium have been added to the regularschedule of Mandel Hall shows. A newprogram of drama recitals has offeredpublic readings of the dramas studiedin the college humanities courses. U. T.people have been active in radio, work­ing with the University Radio office toproduce programs for station WFMT,including The Hour Glass by W. B.Yeats and readings of poetry and short­stories. Another new feature of thetheater has been the addition of reqular Saturday afternoon cctinq-workshopsessions. Here, through improvisationsand actual practice in acting tech­niques, the U. T. group has worked toisolate those elements of imaginationand self-discipline which are as im­portcint to the actor as voice-placementto the singer.Although the theater has no formalconnection with the academic program,the stress has always been on dramaactivity as a learning process. Playsare chosen, not for their value as en­tertainment pieces, but as significantworks of literature meriting close studyand deeper analysis. Participants areexpected to make themselves acquaint­ed with all the functions of production,with make-up, lighting, design, cos­tume, etc.; to comprehend all the tech­niques and processes which make upthe final performance.Leit: Perdita Nelson and MargueriteGuernot.Above: Margaret Jones, Alice Thomas and Marguerite Guernot.Above and right: Radell Nelson andJewell McLarin Rehearse Strange Fruit. KNIGHT'S OFThe KNIGHTS OF THE BALLET, the Univer­sity of Chicago's student dance group wasfounded by Guy Bassett in the Spring of 1951out of the recognized need for student ac­tivity in the field of ballet. Composed in thegreater part by amateurs who have little in­tention of pursuing careers in such a demand­ing and turbulent profession, the KOB has en­couraged the participation of a wide range oftalent. from adult beginners to senior balletstudents, Drawing consistently provocativecomment. the group has forged ahead intoseveral experimental modes as well as at­tempting a few works in the traditional manner.For its members, the KOB has provided apleasant and most successful social program.Receptions have been held ranging in magni­tude from a full dinner for the Sadler's WellsTheater Ballet. at which nearly three hundredpersons were served, to group kaffee-klatches.Present were such Chicago notables as EdnaLucille Baum, Charles and Jane Bockman, andEtta Buro as well as such nationally knownfigures as Jose and Amparo Greco, SvetlanaBeriosova and Elaine Fifield. Preferably, theorganization has brought these interestingTHE BALLETpeople to the campus in a non-professionalcapacity so that all students may meet. andtalk with them informedly. 'The KOB's audiences at the annual presenta­tions and quarterly workshops have under­standingly not compared the groups often un­tutored ventures into the difficult realm ofballet with a professional company's standardof artistic perfection. However, the organizationhas been constantly encouraged to contniueits work in this highly technical and specializedfield.Possibly the only lasting pioneer effort whichthe KOB has produced is the futuristic balletcommissioned and executed for the Tenth An­nual World (1952) Science Fiction Convention.Playing to a preponderantly non-balletic audi­ence, the KOB is able to report completeastonishment at the ovation delivered to themfor their effort.Also off-campus has been the astrologicalballet commissioned by and presented for theChicago Urban League's annual fashion show.Many more projects are in the planningstage, but only time will tell what the KOBwill do next.Marcie Morrow (above) and Margaret Jones(right! in Arachne.

JohnWieland, Guy Bassettand Marguerite Guer­not in Zcpoteco.The University of Chicago's Acrotheater isone of the largest, and, needless to say, oneof the most active groups on the campus. Itspurpose is to provide entertaining, healthfulactivity and show production experience forUniversity of Chicago students, faculty, andalumni.Its more than 100 members include the Uni­versity's varsity and junior varsity gymnasticsteams which assist in putting on demonstra­tions. Acrotheater is self-supporting and getsits money (no dues) by putting on many showseach year for public schools or other interestedgroups, and this year, a large production inMandel Hall for the benefit of the Boy Scouts.The talent for these shows is created entirelywithin Acrotheater during its two weekly meet­ings. To join, a person need not have anytalent or experience, only interest in the ac­tivities and the willingness to participateregularly. There are many opportunities in120 Acrotheater for those not interested in actualphysical activity: in the fields of publicity, artwork of all kinds, stage hands, and those withtalent for make up (these persons go to showwith us), scenery designers, builders, andpainters; and costume designers and sewers.Acrotheater has many varied activities,among them: Ballet. Acrobatics, Trampoline,Gymnastics for both men and women, Tumb­ling, Juggling, Adagio (both chorus and duo)triple trapeze, and aerial web. Besides allthese there are many variety and specialtyacts. All the classes are taught by experiencedteachers and the working area is suppliedwith safety devices for beginners.Many people have competed individuallyand as a team for Acrotheater, winning itmany cups and trophies. Many members havewon National and Olympic gymnastics cham­pionships.Politics, as the competition for power, place,and prestige, is found wherever two peoplecome together, and, since the rivalries whichdivide families and faculty senates, legislaturesand nations, derive from the same psycho­logical bases, there is no pair of roommates,no dormitory clique, no student organizationwhich is not animated by the keenest politicalcompetition. But, apart from these often un­conscious rivalries in which everyone partici­pates, the new student. almost from his firstmoment on the Midway, finds himself flunginto the maelstrom of a very politically-con­scious campus. Not only is he immediately con­fronted with dormitory elections; but. duringthe frenetic campaign for Student Governmentseats, the most apolitical are beleagured,cajoled, and threatened by unknown persons,on behalf of unknown causes, until their votesare wrung from them in despair, and cast intoiron boxes, whence they are later drawn to playtheir small part in an unknown result.But there are some who prefer to be theorganizers rather than the recipients of thisbarrage, and who invest considerable time inone aspect or another of the campus politicalscene. To the well-rounded young campuspolitico, the days of the week unfold as chap­ters of an endless, but ever-varying story: onMonday, there are dormitory council and fra­ternity meetings; on Tuesday, Student Govern­ment; on Wednesday (during the Winter andSpring Quarters of odd-numbered years), thereis the All-Campus Civil Liberties Committee;on Thursday, fences must be mended in hishouse or in some smaller interest group whichit is his duty to keep "solid"; Friday bringssocial activities sponsored by one of thesemany organizations; on Saturday, if the timesare quiet. he can snatch an evening of innocentmerriment (or not so innocent, if he is amongthose whose dates are arranged in terms ofbuilding political strength in the women'sdormitories); and on Sunday, he must caucusin order to be lectured by his elders on themistakes of the past week, and to prepare forthe crisis which the coming week unfailinglywill bring.The politico who survives two or three yearsof this activity will at last. if his nerves andbrains prove adequate, graduate to the exalted(if often disparaged) level of the politician. Tothese persons, often little known and conscious­ly sinister, in whose hands all wires converge,the election of members of the Burton-JudsonCouncil. of the Chairman of the Inter-FraternityCouncil. of an SG President. even of a Wash­ington Prom Queen, are all parts of an overallstream of political activity, flowing over sev­eral years, and discernible only to the masterplanners. To them, dormitories and fraternities,Right and Left, the Administration and theLegislature, and the manifold loyalties and vendettas bred by years of close contact andrivalry, are factors to be weighed, interests to beadjusted or set against each other, in the politi­cian's endless battle to consolidate the positionof his cause, his friends, and himself.To these chosen few, politics is no diversion,nor even an education, but a life. Breakfast isa conference to lay plans for the day's activi­ties. Morning classes are less periods of instruc­tion than an excuse for meeting people andhaving impromptu caucuses. The lunch hour isanother hurried consultation, and the afternoonis devoted either to committee meetings or con­ferences and negotiations with the Administra­tion. If he has time for dinner, it brings no re­pose to the harried politician, for the conversa­tion is ever the same, and in the evening thereare the large meetings which must be per­suaded to adopt the decisions already takenelsewhere. Afterwards, he adjourns with hiscolleagues to the T-Hut or Alexander's for thequiet, semi-relaxed hour of the post mortem onthe evening's events (but even now he mustbeware of losing touch with his fellow politi­cians, for a man absent is always in dangerof being "cut" on the noble principle: out ofsight. out of power). There, until the early hoursof the morning, they lay plcr.s for the days tocome, and at last the politician goes home,tired, exhausted, but ever victorious-or on theeve of victory. It is the life of the perplexedvoter, the aspiring politico, and the world-wearybut always fascinated politician which ani­mates the narrative of the following pages.123Student GovernmentMartin Orans. President.Student Government Student Government (SG) began its careerin ApriL 1947, with the adoption of a Constitu­tion by campus referendum, and the electionof the members of the First Assembly. Thoughthe candidates had run as individuals, twonearly equal factions (of which one was basedon the left wing of the American Veterans Com­mittee, and the other was considered "frater­nity") divided the offices between them. LenStein, a member of A VC, was elected President.With the disappearance of the fraternitygroup before the October elections, the majorityin the Second Assembly went to the survivingfaction, which elected Lois Jacobs to the Presi­dency. The records of the Second Assemblyare dim, and little remained of it except mem­ories of a debate on the Czechoslovak coup of1948, and on non-payment of dues to NSA (ofwhich we had become members). But the Aprilelection of delegates to the NSA conventions,which now became the second climax of thepolitical year, gave four of the six delegates'positions to the majority group in SG, and theothers to members of an as yet unnamed "mod­erate" or "middle-of-the-road" group, basedheavily on non-veterans and residents of Bur­ton-Judson.124�.iH E�:GROwt if'" or-�'2 ' �:;.b"",-':__, . __..' (!., . :t,itt '(ib��;n",e�tj125Carnpa.I9n126 .In9It was this group which, two weeks beforethe elections of October, 1948, assumed thename Independent Students League (ISL), and,by waging a vigorous campaign against the"do-nothing" attitude and "irrelevant" debateof the Second Assembly, succeeded in winning75 of 8_5 sects, The enormous ISL majority ofthe Thud Assembly, led by President Alex­�:mder Pope, and the specific platform on whichIts members had run, brought a new note intoSG-the NSA dues were. paid, a student bookexchange was at last established, and, in gen­errrl. the attention of the body was focussedon the here-and-now interests of Chicago stu­dents. In the April election, ISL won all of thecontested seats, against a nameless groupwhose principal plank was NSA affiliationwith the International Union of Students atPrague, perennial issue in NSA elections.The opponents of ISL, having evidently failedto convince the campus of the iniquities ofpolitical parties, themselves formed the StudentAssembly Reform Coalition (SARC) in Octoberof 1949, but captured only 20 seats to ISL's 55in the fall elections. The new Executive Coun­cil. under President Frank Logan, contained alarge majority of ISL members, but severalseats were given to SARC representatives, in­dicating a certain lingering doubt, even on thepart of ISL, whether the party division of cam­paign time should be carried to its logical con­clusion of one-party administration of SG.The great achievement of the Fourth Assem­bly, apart from developing the service facililiesof SG, was the negotiation of the "Statute ofPowers" with the Administration, undoubtedlythe most important Single event in the history of SG. It had long been clear that a StudentGovernment which debarred itself from de­bating the issues of the nation and the worldcould not long be confined to providing studentservices, important as these were. If SG was tobecome, in fact. a government. a specific grantof governmental powers was essentiaL andthese could come only from the Administration.With the acceptance of the "Statute of Powers"and the "Student Bill of Rights" by the Ad­ministration and the student body, SG assumedthe authority to recognize all student organiza­tions, and to make regulations governing them,subject to Administration veto, according toprocedure laid down in the Statute.In the April elections of 1950, ISL was chal­lenged, not only by its usual opponents on theLeft (now calling themselves the Non-ParisanStudents League [NPSL]), but by anothergroup, apparently to. the Right. known as theLiberal-Conservative Coalition (LCC). ISL, how­ever, won 10 of the 12 seats at stake, losingtwo to NPSL because of the number of moderateor conservative votes cast for LCC. By October,LCC had disappeared, and despite, or probablybecause of the vigor of the NPSL campaign,ISL won the largest victory ever achieved in anSG election, capturing 60 out of 65 seats in theAssembly. Partly because of the magnitude ofits triumph, ISL at last drew the conclusioninherent in contests by political parties, and,by assuming all positions on the ExecutiveCouncil, enunciated the principle that the partywhich wins a majority of seats in the Assemblyhas the right and the duty to assume the ma­chinery of government. in order to carry outthe policies on which it sought office.... and Counting 127The heart of these policies, as proclaimed inthe campaign slogan of "Student Governmentfor Student Needs", was the service program,which the Fifth Assembly pressed on everyfront: registers for the use of commuters andinterim travelers seeking rides or riders; re­organization of the financially uncertain BookExchange; free distribution of NSA cards toall students, providing discounts in 40 neigh­borhood stores; distribution of Atlas BuyingService cards; opening of a concession standin Mandel corridor during every performancein the Hall; establishment of a Ticket Agency,providing tickets to campus and Loop events.In addition, the Statute of Powers was im­plemented by passage of the "14 Freedoms", agroup of amendments to the Student Code andRegulations, and by the adoption of the so­called Michigan Plan, by which recognitionwould be denied to all campus organizationswhich, on October I. 1952, were still governedby constitutional clauses excluding personsfrom membership by reason of their race,creed, color, or religion. Finally, SG took theinitiative in establishing the Second All­Campus Civil Liberties Committee, and the SGPresident. Roger Woodworth, was elected itsChairman. But important as this activity wasin itself, the "philosophers" of the Fifth As­sembly were convinced that the ultimate suc­cess of SG in its dealings with the Administra­tion in such matters as tuition increases de­pended upon strong student support, and thatthe surest method to secure this support wasfor SG to reach out and touch the lives of thestudents at as many points as possible, inorder to become a reality to them, rather thana vague and unknown debating society whoseresolutions carried no weight with either stu­dents or Administration. From this point ofview, though it initiated no negotiations withthe Administration for further grants of power,the Fifth Assembly was consciously preparingthe way for future concessions.The NSA election of April. 1951, gave ISLthe 20 contested seats with pluralities rangingfrom 779 to 921 votes, as compared to 515 votesfor the highest-ranking NPSL candidate, andthe moribund condition of NPSL gave reasonto believe that ISL might enter the Octoberelections without opposition. But the Adminis­tration's dismissal of "Maroon" editor AlanKimmel at the beginning of the school yearthrew the party, as well as the campus, intoa severe crisis. The absence of significant ex­ternal opposition during the preceding yearhad inevitably led to the development of fac­tions within ISL and, when a majority decidedto oppose the Administration's action, a partof the riqht-wing of the party split off, andorganized a new party, the Independent Coali­tion (IC). The survivors of NPSL for some rea­son did not choose to take advantage of thisschism; many probably even supported ISLin this election. But despite this reinforcementon its left, ISL won only 31 of the 59 seats atissue, losing 21 to IC, four to an ephemeralgroup called the Union of College Indep�ndents'UCO, and three to independents.128 TicketsBooksThe decision of ISL to adhere to its principleof government by the majority party meantthat SG was to undergo its first real experienceof government by one party, opposition byanother. Though major constitutional progressthrough negotiation with the Administrationwas practically ruled out by the circumstancesof the "Maroon" case, the Sixth Assembly,under President Sander Levin, achieved anumber of notable successes in the servicearea, such as the Reynolds Club refreshmentbar, the Educational Survey Commission, anda student exchange program with Germany,end, in addition, took several important politicaldecisions: establishment of a "Maroon" board,to advise, without attempting to control thepaper; recognition of the Labor Youth Leagueby an overwhelming vote (concurred in by allbut two IC members); establishment of astudent-operated non-discriminatory housingagency for neighborhood rentals, on an under­stcndinq with the Administration that the latterwould close or reform its own file if the SGagency proved successful.The dwindling importance of IC through­out the year was confirmed in the April NSAelection, when it won only one seat, as againstISL's 19. The third contender, the AssociatedStudents Guild (ASG), received a considerablevote, but no seats. The voting pattern of 1952,however, was remarkably similar to that of1950, and, though the fact received little at­tention at the time, ISL received considerablyless than half the total vote cast, even with­out a real party of the Left in the field.ASG did not survive its first election, andthe early weeks of the Autumn Quarter of1952 indicated a two-party battle between ISL,seeking its fifth year of office, and IC, severelyweakened by its April defeat, but a seriouscontender in ISL's former bastion, Burton-Jud­son. Both were to discover however, that theforces to the Left which had been so severely defeated in 1950-51 had not been driven fromthe campus political scene, but had only takena year's holiday from the election battle. Twoweeks before the SG elections, a number ofsurvivors of NPSL, a qroup of "Maroon" mem­bers, and certain divisional students whobecame concerned with the alleged narrowness and triviality of ISL's policies, coa­lesced to form the Student Representative Party(SRP). Running under the banner of "A freeUniversity in a free society", SRP denouncedISL's "do-nothing" policies, and its unwilling­ness to deal with off-campus issues. On elec­tion night it was found, to the surprise of thethree parties, that the four-year reign of ISLhad come to an end: with some 43% of thevotes cast, it had received only 21 seats; SRP,sweeping the divisions and schools, had won25 seats with 33 % of the vote; and IC, with24 % of the vote, won only three seats, thoughit ran second to ISL in the College, where SRPreceived no seats.The decision of ISL to adhere to the positionit had adopted when in office--that responsi­bility for governing must go with the majority-left SRP with the difficult task of buildingan Executive Council entirely of divisional stu­dents. Martin Orans, former editor of the"Maroon", was the first SRP President, to bereplaced later in the year by· Julius Lewis.Under them, in addition to publishing the stu­dent directory, which was a legacy of the Levinadministration, and maintaining some of theservices set up by previous Assemblies, theSeventh Assembly initiated several studentneed projects, including a plan to sell text­books directly to students, and another to en­large the Reynolds Club snackbar to includehot meals, both of which were vetoed by theAdministration. In the field of civil liberties,a letter was sent requesting clemency for theRosenbergs sentenced to death for atomicespionage; another letter protested the dis-German Exchange StudentsErnst and Matthiensen129Student-Faculty-Administration Court: Justices Cornfield, Meiklejohn. Sharp, McCarn,Freed, Toll, Deutsch, Mendlovitz.missal of the editor of the "Daily Northwestern";the "Maroon" advisory Board was repealed;and the non-discriminatory housing file, estab­lished by the previous ISL administration, wasabolished, in favor of a petition campaigncoupled with a demand that the Administrationend discrimination in its own file, which, so far,has been without effect.It remains to be seen whether SRP willbe able to establish itself as a real major­ity party by increasing the basic strengthof some 30% of the vote which SARC andNPSL received in every election. The dissolu­tion of IC in December presumably restoredthe political configuration of 1950-51, but theease with which SRP won an SG election inthe second week of its existence points to aproliferation of political parties. The contestfor the definition of SG's role, which seemed sodefinitely concluded in 1591, has been re­opened by the SRP victory, and the future ofthe student needs program, as well as furtherconstitutional advance, will depend on aclearer settlement than has been given it thisyear,130Since 1949, the focus of campus political ac­tivity in the Winter and Spring quarters of odd­numbered years has been the successive all­campus civil liberties committees. The first ofthese was spontaneously organized in theWinter of that year to deal with the investiga­tion of the University voted by the State Houseof Representatives after a number of UC stu­dents and others had appeared in Springfieldto lobby, in a rather obtrusive manner. againstcertain anti-subversive bills then before theAssembly.In 1951, when similar bills were introduced,Student Government took the initiative inorganizing the Second All-Campus Civil Liber­ties Committee (ACCLC), in order to facilitatea united campus proqrum against the proposedlegislation, which was widely felt to endangeracademic freedom, and at the same time, toobviate the need for independent. possibly ill­conceived action in the same area. Unlike 1949,the ties between SG and the special ACCLCwere very close, and SG President Roger Wood­worth was elected Chairman of the latter. Thetestimony which the representatives of the Committee presented in Springfield, and otherwork performed through the ACCLC, enabledthe student body to make itself heard on thisissue in the most effective and constructivemanner.The introduction of similar legislation intothe 1953 session of the Illinois General As­sembly, and the simultaneous possibility of in­vestigation of the University by one of severalCongressional committees, made the calling ofa third ACCLC more important than ever. Afteran organizing meeting which lasted from 7:30P.M. until 3:50 A.M. of the following morning,rules were adopted which were substantiallythe same as those which had governed thesecond Committee, the greatest controversycentering on "Rule 6", which required that in­dependent action by member organizations inthe area of the Committee's activity be clearedwith the Steering Committee or by the ACCLCitself. Matt Dillon, former President of ISL, waselected Chairman, and, despite much stormydebate in subsequent meetings, the body ingeneral has followed policies similar to thoseof its predecessor in 1951.Those who share the theory that the crucial political battles of any period are fought out principallywithin the party which is in semi-permanent ascendancy during that period, must turn their attention tothe dynamics of the Independent Students League in order to understand the recent political history ofthe campus. Founded in 1948 by a group of students-Democrats and Republicans, liberals and con­servatives-who believed that Student Government should devote its attention to the practicalneeds of the student body, the party, in May, 1950, adopted a Constitution which placed all au­thority in the hands of the caucus-the FULL MEMBERSHIP-and permitted the caucus to bindboth leaders and members to follow the policies which it laid down for the whole party. It isthis democratic control of the party by its membership which is a distinguishing feature ofISL. The resurgence of the Left in 1952, in the form of the Student Representative Party,and its victory over a much larger but divided moderate opposition, posed the questionwhether the hitherto ever-victorious ISL could survive in defeat. The decision to standby its own principle of government by the majority enabled the party to keep itsdistinctive position sharply articulated from that of SRP. The party has thereforeresumed its historic campus role: liberal in temperament, center in position. Asthe largest party on campus, and the most widely associated (as was provedby the active participation of its members in the All-Campus Civil Liber­ties Committee, which elected a former ISL President as its Chairman),ISL looks forward with confidence to the continuation of its role as thechampion of a sane and constructive Student Government.sLsRpThe Student Representative Party understands the student as awhole IDerson with, financiaL intellectuaL and moral needs. To serve.the entire range of these needs through cooperative student action isthe aim of the party.A few weeks before the 1952 election of Student Government, two studentgroups joined to form the nucleus of SRP. The party was not born withoutfurther difficulties; a platform committee stayed up night after night, and, thoughthe final draft satisfied no one completely, the common feeling was that it far sur­passed the platforms of the other two parties. The SRP platform proclaimed that astudent cannot be free while his fellow-man is not, and insisted that SG, in the nameof the student body, must strike out for freedom wherever it can be effective. A newslant on student needs also commanded much attention, and SRP outlined a bold programof student cooperatives. SRP's entrance into politics brought out a record number of voters, whogave the majority of seats in Student Government to the new party. On the night of its surprisingvictory, SRP was awed, exhilarated, and scared-all but two of its divisional candidates had beenelected, though all of its College candidates had been defeated. SRP therefore held an Assembly ma­jority of one seat. At the first meeting of the new SG, the newly organized pqrty found it necessary toassume all positions on the Executive Council. The achievements of the -Seventli Assembly are discussedelsewhere in this book, but, in addition to its governmental activities, SRP'has attempted to maintain closetouch with the student body by leaflets explaining the action of SRP in and out of SG.136Student Forum137The Student Orientation Board assumes the respon­sibility of welcoming new students and teaching themthe ins and outs of the College and its program.During the autumn and mid-year orientationperiods, members of the Board may be seen leadingcampus tours, carrying baggage, giving directionsto the lost. explaining the purpose of the socialscience sequence, describing dormitory activities,and what you will. The rest of the year they a.rebusy setting up discussion programs on variousaspects of the College and participating in their owndiscussions with the Dean of the College, the Di­rector of the Residence Halls, and members ofthe faculty.Each spring, plans are started for the orientationprogram of the following autumn. And when dutyis not calling, parties for the Board crop up. Whichexplains the divided interests of the members of theOrientation Board--orientation of new students anda little sport for some of the old.138Camera ClubFirst Place in Annual Contest:"Straw Hats" by Richard Sommerfelt The Club at "Work"Lay sociologists have observed that peoplewith cameras are drawn irresistibly to eachother. (While people who collect match bookcovers or stamps may have the same affinityfor each other, they display no outward symbolof their addiction). Since, when two or morepeople with the same interests meet, they founda club, it was inevitable that there be a Uni­versity of Chicago Camera Club.The Club made a modest start after WorldWar II and from the very beginning it has hadclose relations with the University-the De­partment of Buildings and Grounds in particu­lar. (The latter's awareness of the Club datesback to the time when a member let the waterover-flow in the third floor darkroom of theReynolds Club, flooding same from top tobottom.) In 1953, the Camera Club hit a newhigh. The membership increased considerably.It has a new and larger dcrkroomj--this timein the basement of the Reynolds Club-withequipment that would be the envy of manycommercial studios. Hard working club mem­bers converted an old storeroom under thenorth stand of Stagg Field into a first-ratestudio. It may well be the most interestingphotographic studio on the South Side-youenter through a door in the north wall andascend a ramp that spirals up three stories.In their pursuit of pleasure, the Camera Clubhas made numerous contributions to the Uni­versity activities which require photography­working closely with Acrotheater, StudentUnion, the Alumni Association, Echo Midway,and CAP AND GOWN.139WorldStudent This year the World Student Service Fundhad its most successful program in the pastfour years. Realizing a larger amount from itsdrive was a direct consequence of an intensiveeducational campaign which told the campusabout WSSF's world-wide service efforts. Theseinclude TB sanitoria, youth hostels, dormitorysystems, books, medical supplies, and clothingfor students in areas where war or famine andpestilence have made study and normal uni­versity life difficult or impossible.The highlight of this year's campaign wasa dance held in Ida Noyes Hall. The dancefeatured Josh White and the music of JohnnyLewis' Orchestra and Sid McCoy. Because thecosts were subsidized by the BJ Council. theDorm Council. Student Union, and the fraterni­ties, the Committee was able to realize justunder six hundred dollars from this sourcealone. Also included in the program wassolicitation of the dorms, of the faculty, andbenefit performance of the film Finocchio. Afterthe Yearbook goes to press; Alexander Schnei­der is scheduled to give a benefit concertin Mandel Hall. The total income from all thesesources is expected to run over $2,500.00.The officers of the Committee are Joyce Nevis,Chairman and Treasurer; Matt Dillon, Vice­Chairman; Nancy Cushwa, Secretary; and RichSawyer, Educational and Publicity Director.ServiceFund140The University of Chicago Science FictionClub provides an opportunity for a variety ofinteresting people (see illustrations) to get to­gether and have fun.At the bi-weekly meetings, lively discus­sions are held on current trends in sciencefiction in addition to the regular programs,which take the form of panel discussions andtalks on such subjects as "Music of the Future","Pogo's Place In Science Fiction", "ScienceFiction and the Ballet", and "How to Write aScience Fiction Story." Occasionally humorousskits and magazine-and book-trading sessionsvary the program. The club also shared in themanagement of the successful Tenth AnnualWorld Science Fiction Convention, held lastLabor Day week end in Chicago.Present club plans include the presentationon campus of movies of a science fiction orfantasy nature and preparation for theEleventh World S-F Convention to be held inPhiladelphia next fall.143C Rocket SocietyIn 1947 a small group of students formed theUniversity Rocket Society for research andpractical experimentation in the field of rocketmotors and their carriers. At first, work wascarried on wherever space could be found.Later, however, rooms in University buildingswere obtained. During this period, the club'smajor activities centered around lectures anddiscussion groups. In 1950 a twenty-poundthrust motor using liquid oxygen and alcoholfor fuel was constructed. In 1951, a test standfor the motor was completed, and with thebuilding of the control unit, tests were readyto begin.In 1952, the modifications thought necessarywere completed, and another test run, againpartially unsuccessful, was held near Indian-144 apolis. A closer testing site was sought, and asmall plot in Lake Forest obtained. A concreteroof cellar was converted to an observationblockhouse, and a clearing was made in thesurrounding underbrush for the new test stand.The first tests were made on a bitter cold dayin early Winter. At this test considerableprogress was made in the problem of fuel de­livery and combustion.Following these tests it was decided to dividethe society into two groups, one of which willbe occupied with the design of a hundred­pound thrust motor, while the other will con­tinue the testing of the smaller motor.Testing on the rocket motors resumed withthe coming of Spring weather.145Doc FilmThe Documentary Film Group, according tothe Museum of Modern Art. is America's oldestfilm society. However, as with most groupsthat are formed by enthusiasts, no one tooktime to record the founding and chronicle theearly activities. The film group, as judged byprogram notes and old publicity, is about fif­teen years old.Parallel with an effort to bring significantfilms to the University community, the grouphas produced three films; a documentary onUniversity Theatre, a study of the universityhousing problem, and "Being and Becoming",a satire on college life. Just completed is "TheBlack and Blues", an animated abstraction.A documentary sponsored by the ChicagoLand Clearance Commission is now being com­pleted. These recent films are under the direc­tion of the group's chairman, J. M. Kossack.Indicative of the group's key position in thefilm society movement is the fact that it acts asa clearing house of information and advicefor film societies in the United States andCanada, and was chosen to undertake theNAS survey of collegiate film societies.Besides showing and producing films, andacting as an information center, the groupholds informal discussion sessions and hasbrought to the campus important figures ofmodern film making and criticism. With thecooperation of the Renaissance Society, MayaDeren, a leader in the American avant gardemovement, and Dr. Roger Mcnvell, head ofthe British Film Institute, presented illustratedlectures in Mandel Hall. Vittorio DeSica, di­rector of "Shoe Shine" and "Bicycle Thief",gave a lecture-discussion, through the courtesyof the Italian Consulate." 147Through the colorful activities of the IndiaAssociation, members of the University com­munity and residents of the Chicago area havebeen afforded unusual insight into the art,religion, and politics of the Indian nation. Themany programs that this group provides forthe public cover celebrations of traditional na­tional holidays, presentation of speakers beforechurch and civic groups, and music and danceperformances on Chicago's South Side.Dances of India by Vashi and Veena, inter­nationally known dancers at the University ofChicago, highlighted the Association's schedulefor the year. In keeping with its practice oftotal realism, the India Association preservesthe costuming and rhythmic effects appropriateto each cultural program.There were nearly twenty Indian students atthe University this year.Chinese Student AssociationThe Chinese Student Association, founded twenty years agoon this campus, is an organization for all Chinese students inthe Chicago area.Centering its activities around the U. of C. campus, theAssociation works to promote social contacts among Chinesestudents as well as enhance mutual understanding betweenChinese and American cultures.Officers for the school year are Min-Sun Chen, President;and Tsunq-Ming Li, Treasurer.India AssociationPre-Medical ClubThe Pre-Medical Club was formed in theAutumn Quarter to give college students andgraduates in the Division of Biological Sciencesan opportunity to 1: 'come acquainted withtheir prospective field medicine.The Club set up special laboratory sectionsfor Club members in the West Stands of StaggField where they could pursue their s recictlinterests. On successive Mondays the Club hasheard talks by Dr. Arthur Brislen, Dr. WrightAdams, Chairman of the Department of Medi­cine, Dr. Nathaniel Apter, head psychiatristat Billings, and others. It held a debate onsocialized medicine, and went on research andsurgery tours through Billings Hospital and thenewly completed Argonne Cancer Researchwing where new equipment was demonstratedand laboratory projects explained.DancingChess150 Sailing152153The Hillel Foundation154 The Hillel Foundation at the University 01Chicago is one of 200 similar student centersin the Uniled States, Canada, Cuba, and Israelwhich serve over 150,000 students and havebecome focal points for the study 01 JewishCulture and religion where students can deepentheir understanding and appreciation of theirheritage.In line with this aim, the Foundation regularlyconducts a number 01 activities for the Univer­sity 01 Chicago student body. One 01 these isthe Friday Evening Fireside where studentsgather to share discussions 01 interest in theatmosphere 01 the Sabbath. Following the weeklyFriday Evening Service, the Fireside programsincluded during the Spring Quarter a PassoverOneg in which the Song of Songs was readand discussed by Henry Rago. Daniel Boorstinspoke on "The Hebrew Prophet and theAmerican Hero". "The Free Exercise 01 Religion"was the topic 01 Donald Meiklejohn. JohnThompson and Ernst Levy also participatedin the Fireside series.Still another important part of Hillel workare the study groups which meet regularly.Among tnese groups are classes in elementaryand advance Hebrew, elementary Yiddish,Midrash, and a Hebrew speaking group. TheIocu lt y-student seminar was held during theSpring Quarter on "Abraham in the Jewishand Christian Tradition" The seminar providedan opportunity lor the serious study 01 theAbraham story as seen by Maimonides,Nochmonides. Kierkegaard, Hegel, and Kalka aswell as the Midrashic and Rabbinic cornmen­taries.Holiday services are held at the Foundation,and for Sukkoth the students built a beautifulSukkah at the side 01 the house. The SimhatTorah service is followed with the traditionalHakafoth which winds its way throughout thebuilding. The Megillah is read on Purim, andthere is also the annual Purim Carnival. ThePcssover Seder is held each year in the festivespirit of the holiday.The social program of the Hillel Foundationis designed to provide students with opportuni­ties for fellowship and recreation within theframework of the. objectives 01 the Foundation.An attempt is made to have the social cc­tivities integrally related to the several phasesof the Hillel program. The informal fellowshipof the Friday Firesides, with groups of studentscontinuinq the discussion, singing, chatting overa cup of tea, or dancing the hore, is an ex­ample of the religious, cultural, and socialaspects of the Hillel program merging into oneexperience.The The Catholic Youth Center at the Universityof Chicago is Calvert Club in the DeSalesHouse on campus and "Childerley". the coun­try retreat at Wheeling, Illinois. At thesecenters, Catholic students take part in an ex­tensive program.The Colvert Club recognizes the need ofCatholic students to join together to deepen thespiritual, and enrich the temporal lives of thegroup through religious, intellectuaL and socialactivities; to preserve its- integrity and to benourished in the life of Christ; and to assist theUniversity and «n its students wheneverpossible.The Club is assisted by two chaplains whoare always at the disposal of students. Theprogram is as varied, attractive, and inspiringas the resourcefulness and zeal of the studentleaders who plan and carry it out. The goal ofthe Club is the formation and development ofa capable student leadership.The program consists of Open Houses at thebeginning of each quarter, lecture series, com­munion, courses in Christian action and Cath­olic apologetics, seminars for students in Lawand Medicine and regular Sunday nightsuppers.Quarterly retreats are held at "Childerley",where the off-campus atmosphere is well­suited for discussions, prayer, and recreation.Students also find time for work projects atChilderley, as well as at DeSales House.CalvertClub155THE YOUNG FRIENDS CANTERBURY CLUBThe Young Friends Fellowship is a campusreligious organization of those interested in theprinciples and practices of the Society ofFriends (Quakers). It is a loosely organized,and flexible group which has no regularlyelected officers. The whole group outlines itsown program each quarter, and members arechosen for special duties as the need arises.In order to plan an adequate program, it wasnecessary to discover the needs and interestsof the individual members. To that end thefirst discussion of the Fall Quarter dealt withthe members' deepest concerns, religious be­liefs, and how those beliefs worked out inevery day living.The resulting program reflected the widevariety of interest and approach the groupfound in its members, racial relations, theRosenberg Case, and academic freedom wereamong those problems investigated. Smallergroups concerned with civil liberties and withspiritual exploration were formed. Public meet­ings on national and international problemswere sponsored on cooperation with othergroups. Work projects centering around thenewly acquired Quaker House at 5615 Wood­lawn made the house available for squaredances and parties. The Canterbury Club on this campus is anorganization of Episcopal students affiliatedwith the national group of the Episcopal Churchbearing the same name and under the direc­tion of the College Department of the NationalCouncil of the Episcopal Church.This group meets weekly and follows plannedprograms of discussion that are designed toinclude the several phases of religious thoughtpertinent to present day trends in educationand churchmanship as they affect the life ofEpiscopal students and those others who areinterested in the Anglican Communion as con­trasted with other religious groups.Prominent speakers are invited to lead thesediscussions. Some come from the outside andsome are faculty members of the University.Each, in his own field, is an authority, and thediscussions offer an excellent opportunityfor a wide variety of thinking. The CanterburyClub has been fortunate to sponsor such promi­nent names as Mortimer Addler, T. S. Eliot,Bernard Iddings Bell, and many others.The Club has a definite responsibility for thereliqious life of Episcopal students besides theendeavor to provide intellectual stimulus. EachSunday and on feasts and fasts the HolyEucharist is offered in Bond Chapel. An op­portunity for fellowship is provided after eachmeeting during a brief coffee hour. A memberof the Episcopal Church Council, Dr. JoachimWach, is the faculty advisor, and the Rev. Dr.Bernard Iddings Bell is the spiritual advisor.BAHA'I FELLOWSHIPThe Baha'i Fellowship at the University ofChicago is an informal study and discussiongroup open to all students who are seeking arealistic solution to the social and individualproblems of our day.It stresses the necessity of an unfetteredsearch after truths and finds in the stirring his­tory and universal principles of the Baha'iFaith a steadily-growing world-wide movementthat seems to have-in the words of Oxford'sDr. Jewett-"the promise of the future".It recognizes as a basic reality the organicunity of mankind and seeks in _the cmozinqlife and voluminous writings of Bchcu'Iloh.Prophet-Founder of the Baha'i- Faith, a key tothe meaning of life today.Its weekly discussions in Ida Noyes Hall- center about such Baha'i principles as monothe-_ism, the essential oneness of purpose of all theFounders of revealed religion, the fundamentalpurpose of religion to promote conco�d andprogressive civilization, real equality ofwomen, universal education, a spiritual solu­tion of the economic problem, the adoption ofan auxiliary international language, and pro­viding the necessary agencies for establishingand safeguarding a permanent and universalpeace. THE LUTHERAN CHURCHAt the University of Chicago there are twoLutheran student groups, the Lutheran StudentAssociation and Gamma Delta, which workclosely in presenting a program of Christianfaith and practice in the life of the Church.Friday night, Lutheran night on campus, bringsa balanced program on both intellectual andsocial levels. In addition, regular seminar andstudy groups are organized throughout theyear, ranging in interest from theology tosocial service.On Sunday mornings, a student congrega­tion meets for regular worship at eleven o'clockin Hilton Chapel. The parish provides frequentopportunities for Holy Communion as well astraining in parish leadership, with a churchcouncil, parish meetings, and an altar guild,composed entirely of students.On Reformation Sunday, the Lutheran Coun­cil sponsors Chicago's Reformation Vespers inRockefeller Memorial Chapel, one of the na­tion's great liturgical observances.156METHODIST STUDENT UNIONThe religious groups whose interest centersaround Chapel House, the Protestant youthhouse, comprise the bulk of the religiousgroups at the University. Chapel House, cur­rently under the acting directorship of the Deanof the Chapel, John B. Thompson, itself spon­sors Bible Breakfasts, a Committee on Religionand the Arts, and an ever-expanding libraryand record collection. With a full-time staff ofits own, it serves to coordinate the activitiesof the Protestant students on campus. And,falling into none of the three major divisionsare still other religious organizations. We shallattempt to portray the activities of all thesegroups - Protestant and non-classifiable - inthis section. The Methodist Student Union is campus-wideorganization of Methodists including the fol­lowing groups and activities: Dinner meetingseach Thursday; The International House Sup­per Club; The Divinity Fellowship; and Metho­dist Women's Club.In addition to the regular meetings of thesevarious groups, this past year the MethodistStudent Union sponsored a panel discussionon "The Hidden History of the Korean War".The program was held in Breasted Hall andattracted over two hundred people. On May17 an Aldersgate Festival was held in Rocke­feller Chapel to commemorate the "heart-warm­ing" experience of John Wesley. The ReverendVirgil A. Kroft, the Methodist Chaplain, alsoconducts a Methodist seminar for theologicalstudents who plan to enter the Methodistministry.Other events of the past year include severalweek end retreats, the Chaplain's Open Houseseries, and a regular Tuesday afternoon"Chewsday Club", consisting of tea, tunes, talk,and a task in the Methodist Office Lounge.THE CHARLES W. GILKEY FOUNDATION STUDENT CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATIONThe Gilkey Foundation is the Baptist-spon­sored program of religious ministry to studentsin schools and residence halls in the HydePark-Kenwood-Woodlawn area. The activitiesof the Foundation are expressed through theBaptist Student Fellowship and are centered inthe Hyde Park Baptist Church. The primaryfunction of these activities is to present to stu­dents the Christian faith its relevance for theirlives and for the world in which they live.The scope of this church-related program in­cludes opportunities for discussion, study, wor­ship, social activity, and participation in weekend retreats held quarterly. Stress is placed onthe development of programs coming from theinterest and needs of those participating inthe group.Opportunities are provided for active par­ticipation in the Church, in state and nationalstudent denominational meetings, and inter­denominational activities on this campus. OnSundays the program includes the BreakfastClub at 9:15 A.M. for food and discussion, andthe Snack Club at 6:00 P.M. for supper, recrea­tion, discussion, and worship. On Friday eve­nings from 7:00 to 10:00, an Open House is heldfor fun and fellowship after a busy week ofclasses. The Student Christian Association is an in­ternational organization of students seeking todiscover the implications of the Christian faithfor the life of the student and to live in accordwith this understanding. On this campus, SCAdeveloped several years ago from the YWCAand the YMCA. It is associated with otherorganizations of this type through district,regional. and national Christian Associations,and many of the Chicago students take partin the work of these groups through conferencesand conventions. SCA is related to the Univer­sity through an Advisory Board composed offaculty and business people and to other Prot­estant groups through the Inter-church Council.Like its parent bodies, the SCA is open toany student who wishes to participate in itsactivities. All that is required is an earnestconcern for the questions and claims of religion.It is our belief that through open discussion ofsuch questions and claims and through work­ing together and enjoying recreation togetherwe, with various backgrounds and religiouscommitments, may come to an understandingof a deeper and common faith.158Porter FoundationIn the spring of 1952 a merger was carriedout between two student religious groups, theUnited Student Fellowship (Congregational­Christian and Evangelical and Reformed) andthe Westminster Fellowship (Presbyterian). Forits name the new group chose that of JeremiahPorter, a Congregational minister, active inChicago in its earliest days, who founded thefirst Presbyterian church in the City in 1833.For its first year, particular attention waspaid in programming to an analysis of ourfaith and some of its implications in practicallife. Sunday evening programs along this lineranged from "Christianity and Politics in 1952"to "What Is Prayer" and from considerationof whether Christianity is simply a part of thepattern of our culture to "Why Do We Believein Christ?" A talk or panel discussion followedby personal discussion carried on in groups ofsix or eighi was found to be generally a quiterewarding method. In the latter part of the yeara more personal approach to our Christian con­cerns was substituted for the analytical one.But the Sunday evening discussion programsamount to only one aspect of the Fellowship'sactivities. For those students who did not findtheir needs met by these meetings two othergroups came into being: a couple's club formarried students and an informal group forgraduate students only. In addition, first stepswere taken this year toward the formation ofa faculty group that would be affiliated withthe student fellowship. And for a large part ofthe year twelve or fifteen members worked anhour or so each week as leaders or assistantsfor recreation or interest groups at the GraceCommunity Center. Channing ClubThe Channing Club is a group of university­age individuals which exists in an attemptto serve the (broadly interpreted) religiousneeds of those who have little concern forthe more orthodox religions. It provides itsmembers with the opportunity of expressingtheir beliefs. During the past year we havemade the experiment of the development of agroup consciousness, developing the resourceswithin the group. We believe that this typeof program has been much more successfulthan those of previous years which attractedso many more people. Although not all of ourmembers are Unitarians, we are affiliated withthat denomination, and we meet in John Wool­man Hall of the First Unitarian Church 57thStreet and Woodlawn Avenue.159160ATHLETIC STAFF162Although many more contests were lost thanwon this year, the U. C. athletic policy's greatredeeming quality wru; still very much inevidence: that of allowing men to participatebecause of interest, rather than just ability.This is the heart of the value of the systemhere, for it glorifies athletics for satisfactionand the physical health so integral to a trulyfull life, rather than to "uphold the honor ofthe Alma Mater", which hcs deqeneroted intorank commercialism today in most schools.And so, although the teams are riddled withinexperienced competitors, this amateurismengenders a spirit of fellowship and coopera­tion which is not found in schools that striveto win rather than enjoy, and where feam mem­bers must compete fiercely for a berth on"each" squad. The coaches, too, are more fullyable to accomplish their tusk of teaching theircharges the fundamentals of the games be­cause they are never threatened with the im­perative of "win or else ... " Thus, in the finalresult it accomplishes the true aim of sports.163Chicago vs. Navy PierFebruary 11Pep RallyCheers164Maroons-65Navy Pier-53165BASKETBALLThis yem the cagers had their most success­ful season in the past three: a 1-16 record.After attracting much publicity in the course ofa 45 game losing streak, the Norgmen finallycame through with 65-52 win over the NavyPier Illini before a wild crowd, the largest tosee a game at the field house in several years.Starting with a group of boys of varying ex­perience (some with none at all) and no re­turning lettermen, the Maroons slowly but sure­ly improved over the season. This portends wellfor next season, for most of the stalwarts ofthis year's squad are expected to return nextyear--an infrequent occurrence around theseparts in sports. Chief weakness of the teamthis year beside inexperience was lack ofenough adequate reserve strength; the Maroonswere always in the game until the last stagesbut when the first line tired, there was no oneto spell them.High scorers for the season were: Dan Levinewith .201 points; Chuck Iuby. with 160; Ed Le­vine with 153; and Bob Mann, with 147.

With theinexperienced newcomers improving everygame they broke into the victory column witha six-five win over a strong Illinois Tech squad.The game was paced by the pitching of LenBritton and the hitting of Mike Gordon. Theseason closed two games later with a winover St. Joseph by the score of five-four behindSmoky Garcia. The Maroons won their firstgame in the Chicago College Tournament byedging Aurora College seven-six before suc­cumbing to Illinois Tech in the quarter finals.Leading hitters were Gil Larimer with .362followed by Gil Levine with .343. Mike Gordon,Len Britton, and Dave Utley also contributedvaluable help along with Co-captains JohnnyFrankenfeld and Smoky Garcia.The 1953 Maroons look forward to a winningseason with lettermen Johnny Frankelfeld,Smoky Garcia, Dave Utley, Mike Gordon, GilLevine, and Johnny Scandalios serving as anucleus for newcomers Bob Mann, Bruce Colby,John Broyles, Byron Ayme, George Gray,Sandy Kranz and Wedell Marimoto, giving theteam added strength and depth.

Another high spot of the seasonwas tying Wheaton College, the strongest teamin the Chicago area, in a meet which was notdecided until the last leg of the mile relay,when Ken Stapley finished strong to giveChicago a win in the race and a tie in the meet.In dual meets the boys won 3, lost 2, and tied1. In triangular meets they took 2 firsts; inquadrilateral meets, they won one and took a third in one, and in -the "A" class of theNorth Central Relays, they took a fourth.Coach Ted Haydon is afraid that the Springseason will not come out so well. as he losttwo consistent point getters, Walt Deike andCaptain Paul Michaels, through graduation.Besides Deike, Michaels, and Stapley, topmen on the team include: Frank Loornos, JustinJohnson, Joe Ellis, Gerry Czmanske, Carl Dalke,Dave Shepard, Jim Flynn, Tim Nuveen, ArnieMeardon, and Bill Moreman.171The Harriers ended with a 3-5 record in dualmeets, 3rd place in a triangular meet, and 2ndplace in the Central A.A.U. 5,000 Meter Run.In which Walt Deike, Jim Flynn, Arnie Mecr­don, and Bill Moreman received medals. Deike,former Big Ten Cross-Country Champion (fromU. of Wisconsin) did not compete in the regu­lar season; if he had, the learn probably wouldhave won a few of the closer meets.Outstanding members of the team wereFlynn, Tim Nveen, and Ken Stapley, all ofwhom received major letters as the team'smost consistent point-getters.

GOLFAs we go to press, the golf season is justgetting under way. Very little can be ascer­tained of the prospects at this time, as theweather has allowed almost no practice ses­sions. Indications are that several award win­ners will return this season, headed by lastyear's medalist, Captain Harry Friedman. Ifsome promising new men come out, the teamshould end their season with a good record.173174 GYMNASTICS Coach Bud Beyers had a season of twos:two won. two lost. and second in a triangularmeet. The team began with wins over North­western and a tough Navy Pier team; nextthey finished behind Indiana and ahead ofNorthwestern in a triangular meet.

Representatives from Phi DeltaTheta and Phi Kappa Psi not shown.The purpose of Interfraternity Council asstated in the constitution, is to "regulate andgovern their relations with one another, withthe University, and with the general public ... "More specifically, the council is interested inrushing and pledging procedures where theseactivities affect the fraternity system as awhole. The Council is constantly examiningand revising the rushing rules in order to helpand to benefit both the rushee and thefraternities.There are other projects which the councilundertakes. A formal dance, the Inter-Frater­nity Bell, is given annually for fraternity men.In cooperation with the Alumni Association, thecouncil assists in the preparation for the I-FSing. This year the Council worked with otherstudent organizations-such as student Forum­to present discussions relating to fraternities, todiscuss community improvements with otherliving units in the neighborhood, and to planwith other social groups a social calendarwhich would more effectively meet campusneed and demand.Members of I-F Council are elected by their186 respective houses. The office of president iselective within the council, and the offices ofsecretary and treasurer rotate (fraternity-wise)in alphabetical order. This year Albert Sciakywas unable to complete his term of office aspresident, and Wendell Alexander was electedto finish the term of office. The secretary andtreasurer under this administration were ArthurReilley and Herbert Gorr. Elections held inthe middle of the Winter Quarter resulted inthe election of Morton Schagrin to the presi­dency and the selections of Ernest Levensteinand Thomas Green as secretary and treasurer.Due to the extensive differences in the Col­lege program at the University of Chicago, I-FCouncil has, from the inception of the Univer­sity's new plan of education, been faced withmany problems of adaptation. Changes havebeen made in its own organization and overa period of years, rushing rules and age limita­tions have been varied in an attempt to co­ordinate the functions of the fraternities withthose of the University as an educational sys­tem. I-F Council has been the centralizedagency for the development of these changes.187Alpha Delta Phi is the oldest continuously existing national socialfraternity, a group originally founded in 1832 as a literary society andone that has retained some of this character. In this chapter, the em­phasis is on the individual and his self-improvement. which, we be­lieve, he can best achieve by voluntary participation in the variedsocial. intellectual, and athletic activities of the fraternity, activitiesshared and enjoyed within the frame-work of democratic self-govern­ment. This past year saw the continuation of these ideas. Parties andmixers were regularly held with women from on and off campus.Seasonal parties at Halloween, Christmas, and New Year's have beenamong our best. Featured on the spring social calendar is the fonnalTwo-Way Dance with Psi Upsilon.With its full quota of lettermen past and present. especially intrack and tennis, Alpha Delta Phi's athletic tradition is upheld. Thechapter also fields a team in every intramural sport.Each Monday evening a brother presents an original paper, ac­companied by a certain amount of criticism. Also featured are theSeminar and the Sunday Record Concert Programs. Prominent speakersthese past months have been Dean Strozier, Prof. Harold Urey, DeanKatz, and John Nuveen, Jr. This spring the chapter plans to renew the188 ustom of presenting an annual play to the campus.Alpha Delta PhiFirst Row: Toliver.

Beta Theta Pi has led the other great national fraternities inscholarship every year except one. Beta Theta Pi, first fraternity atthis university, was also the first fraternity to publish its constitution,to establish its own magazine, to employ the now universal districtadministration, and to pioneer in many other areas of importance tofraterni ties.On this campus, Beta has had a highly successful year under theexcellent leadership of brothers Vic Andrews and Bob Horan. Thesocial program was, as usual. rounded, firm, and fully packed. TheBeta candidate reigned as Queen of the Inter-Fraternity Ball. A Christ­mas party for the Settlement children left them happy and the brothersin high spirits. One might characterize this year's all campus partyas the "open house to end all open houses." Beta's athletic programhas been highly successful. Among this year's dinner guests wereChancellor and Mrs. Kimpton, Dr. Hanyard West, many professorsand other guests. Always strong contenders, the brothers hope toclimax the year with victory in the Inter-Fraternity Sing.190191Delta UpsilonFirst Row: Zallys, Hobson, Dillon, Sarachman, Ladas.

D. U. provided leadership for Inter­Fraternity Council, for Campus Politics, and for the religious and sociallife of the university while at the same time maintaining the only non­secret fraternity on the campus as a thriving organization. D. U. wasa leader in fraternity sports, winning more often than not. Their parties,which included the now-Iomous Prohibition and the spirited Parisienne,allowed not only social relaxation, but also provided an opportunityfor alumni to keep contact with the active chapter. Occasionally theseparties are highlighted by singing, which may account for D. U. havingwon the Quality Cup at the Inter-Frcrternity Sing. Affiliated with an in­ternational organization founded in 1834 and of which there are 72member chapters, D. U. takes pride in its part in developing the uniquefraternity system here at the University of Chicago. m.,193194 Phi Delta Thetafirst Row: Smaltz. Scofield. "Jeep". Howe. Kenyon.

Phi Delt has made its mark in many different aspectsof fraternity activity. Socially, the winter quarter saw a Pledge Danceput on by one of the largest and most active pledge classes in manyyears. It was a great success as was the "Last Blast" at the end of thequarter. One special feature of this year's social life was the series ofMonday evening mixers with the Women's Clubs which everyone en­joyed greatly. The annual Phi Delt open house, the "Silly Strut", wasthe main social event in the spring. This year it was a "Go to Hell"party, and the sedate chapter house on Woodlawn became every­thing from inferno to Seventh Heaven. Everyone had a good time­especially the "angels".Illinois Beta is proud of its scholarship record, ranking first amongall chapters of Phi Delta Theta, and second among all chapters of allfraternities in the nation. They barely missed being first in the nation,being 'beaten by another University of Chicago fraternity, Phi SigmaDelta. In the field of sports, the Phi's are well represented. In wrestlingalone, they have five men. Phi Delts also participate in basketbalLgolf, hockey, swimming, and track.195phi Gamma Deltafirst Row: Herwitt. Maupin, Garcia, Hornkohl, Del Giorno, Stewart.

With the house completelydecorated as a tropical isle, the Fijis and their dates had a fabuloustime in grass skirts, sarongs, and other remnants of ship-wreck. Itwas closely followed by parties with Psi Upsilon and Phi Kappa Psibefore time was taken out to get in shape for comps.The Fijis held their Golden Anniversary celebration on AlumniDay during the time-honored "Pig Dinner" with Chancellor Kimptonand Dr. Andrew Wyant, the university's first elected football captain,as guests of honor. ,This year the Fijis. in collaboration with the Quads and MortarBoards, held their seventh annual Christmas Party for forty childrenfrom the U. of C. Settlement House.Besides participating in all inter-fraternity athletic events, PhiGamma Delta has many men occupying key berths on varsity teams­gymnastics, baseball. basketball, track, swimming, and fencing. Extra­curricularwise, 195253 found Fijis throughout Student Union, Cap andGown, Student Government, and so on.Rounding out the social year was the annual Three-Way Partywith Beta and D. U. As the last few days of the school year slippedaway, the Fijis approached both exams and l-F Sing with fervent hope.196thefl iiSu197Phi Kappa PsiFirst Row: Gerlach, Stermer, Lester, Cawvey, Kelso, LeVine, Rice.

Another five orsix active Phi Psi's live elsewhere.Phi Psi has had its share of social events, During the currentacademic year there have been parties, dances. steak fries and thelike on many week ends. In recent years an Esquire party to whichthe whole campus is invited has been a tradition of the fraternity.Phi Psi has also sponsored such functions as a lecture by CharlesBell of the Humanities staff on Medieval Music.This year the fraternity has provided room and board for HansErnst, an exchange student from the University of Frankfurt. The Ar­rangement has proved more than successful for everyone concerned.Hans has been made an honorary member of the fraternity,Although not equally interested in all sports, the Phi Kappa Psi'smanaged to place second in the fraternity league during a hotly con­tested basketball season.Phi Psi is perhaps unusual in that the chapter does not force oroblige its members to participate in events if they choose not to doso. Individuals find privacy and ample opportunity to study. Phi Psi'sfeel that they have been able to do this without sacrificing the manysocial activities of the fraternity.198199Phi Sigma DeltaThe red stone at 5625 South Woodlawn Avenue is the home ofthe Mu Chapter of the Phi Sigma Delta Fraternity. Last fall the chapteracted as hosts to more than 200 Phi Sigs from over 30 chapters at theNational Convention. Every spring the Strawberry Festival Open Housecomplements the Inter-Fraternity Sing.Costume balls and dinner dances highlighted the social activitiesof the year as they have in the past. A series of concerts and lecturesopen to the campus was sponsored. The Phi Sigs as a group par­ticipate in campus interfraternity athletic competition, while some ofits members are active on varsity teams. During the academic year1951-52 the chapter placed first in the listings of the National Inter­fraternity Scholarship Committee, and has twice won the scholarshipaward on this campus.The names of Phi Sigma Deltans are to be found on the rosters ofall interfraternity and campus activities.

In addition, the I-F Ball, WSSF, and Wash Prom were well­supported by the brothers,As usual the Psi U's excelled in sports, appearing prominentlyon the varsity teams.

A fine rushing season broughtthe membership total to sixty men, the largest number in Alpha Beta'shistory. Its members have been active in all walks of campus life,Student Government, Student Union, the Law Review and otherhonoraries, the ACCLC, and several athletic teams, One of its benefitsto the social and culiural life of the campus were its concert featuringthe first prize winner at the Paris Conservatory last year; its main­tenance of a ZBT scholarship fund; participation in the WSSF dance,and other charitable and religious drives; and its annual open house,The fraternity is proud of the many physicol improvements to itschapter house in the past year. Some of these included: a new oilburner, new rugs and furnishings, complete redecorating, and somearchitectural alterations. Some highlights of the past year were ZBT'sincreased strength in intramural sports, the winning of the WashingtonPromenade Lawn Decoration Cup for the fourth straight year, and itsmany enjoyable social and cultural functions,204Inter-Club CouncilThe first women's clubs originated as earlyas 1894 for both academic and political pur­poses. The members quickly discovered thatthe clubs held an important place in theirsocial life. As soon as the political situationswere resolved, and the academic life wastaken care of by the Great Ideas of Mr. Hutch­ins, they turned their energies toward serv­ice and social activities.Today the aim of the women's clubs is toprovide opportunities for warm friendshipwhich comes from the close association foundin a small group. The members find in theirclubs a common meeting ground for their in­terests and activities. These range from sup­porting a war orphan in a foreign country tothe annual Inter-Club Council contributed fi­nancial aid which helped make it possiblefor an exchange student to study at the Uni­versity.Inter-Club Council has also sponsored WSSF,the Red Cross, CARE, lectures, and other chari­table organizations. The method of sponsorshipvaries from standing on cold street cornerswith collection cans to standing over hot stovescooking for benefit dinners. The annual Christmas party for the Settle­ment House Children sponsored by the PhiGamma Delta Fraternity, The Quadranglers,and the Mortar Boards, was described by DeanStrozier as "the biggest social service eventof the year at the University". Other clubs havesimilar service activities.Socially speaking, Inter-Club Council spon­sors the Inter-Club Sing in May, two formaldances, and lends support to other studentactivities.Monday nights are often the occasion forafter-meeting club-fraternity mixers, althoughthis kind of mixing is not limited to Mondaynights. Picnics, Mother-Daughter teas, pledging,theater parties-all have their place in a clubgirl's life.Inter-Club Council is the co-ordinating bodyfor the five clubs-Chi Rho Sigma, Delta Sigma,Mortar Board, Quadrangler, and Siqmo.Through the Council the rushing rules andschedule are arranged. Rushing takes placeduring the third and fourth weeks of the AutumnQuarter, and is climaxed by the formal Prefer­ential dinner and dance.206 Left to right: Hughes, Stephenson, Vavra, Smulski, Davis, Silver, Nyberg.dancing .... .. rushingChi Rho SigmaDuchess LoughranMissinq:Bonnie BetsingerBarbara GansElaine HarrisNancy BasherDona Murrenjane NybergDaphne SoterMarcella TiltonNatalie Horak208 Charlene VavraMary jenkins jane DarlingPo tr iciri BertoniPr os ide n tRita BerwickCarol Davis Gloria KarasikDelta Sigma :lI.!iShirley Rubin Helen SimpsonBernice Yutanl09Mortar BoardNancy OatesMarion MarshallJanine Lowell210 Muriel BaronA veril StephensonAgnes Turnqren.
