Often ayearbook becomes, in the words of Shakespeare'sSonnet CVI, a "chronicle of wasted time." Assum­ing, though, that such an ordered pair [as (Univer­sity of Chicago, 1957)] evinces an interesting pointin some people's history, a plotting in pictures andwords does have its uses.This University, this year, is celebrating an anni­versary: that of the founding of the old U of C. Andthe Cap & Gown celebrates its 50th publication. Thepurpose of a yearbook intends among other thingsthat it have a theme. We wanted ours to be a com­parison of "then and now." But we, too, are limited.We found we could not. So the theme of this bookis the entirety: some new sections; some revivals ofold sections; the writing; the ideas.Of course, all depends upon what schools are forand what books and people are for, but that's justsemantics and not really ontology, after all. In thelong run it will be found, by and large, that whengranpap gums his aged way through a bunch of sourgrapes he shall verily spit seeds as far-reaching as thethird generation. The Y oricks are on the grass, alas,and the fat's in the fire, and so we did it, and hereit is.Preface4Table of ContentsPreface...... 4Dedication. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6ADMINISTRATION. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7CURRICULUM. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 14Faculty Awards. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 40ACTIVITIES . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 44Orientation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 46Regulation 50Socialization. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 54Publications " 60Arts 65Interest Groups. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 78Honor Societies . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 86RELIGION. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 90SPORTS ············ 95Coaches ··. 96Varsity.. 98Intramurals. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 112Women's Athletic Association , 114HOUSING . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 116C-Group -. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 118Gates Blake ' 121Burton Judson 121Hitchcock Snell . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 132International House. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 134FRATERNITIES '.'. . . . . . . . . . .. 136WOMENS CLUBS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 148GRADUATES 152PHOENIX . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 1725A Chaque saint sa chandelle is a French proverbwhich means literally, "To each saint his candle." Asthe phrase is applied: to each individual his due.Of course it is not for us to say whether or not DeanRobert M. Strozier is a saint, but it is undoubtedlythe feeling of all the members of the University thatthe Dean of Students deserves the utmost credit andhonor given to a man.The academic term just ended was Mr. Strozier'stenth year as Dean of Students of the University. Tocommemorate this anniversary, the Iron Mask socie­ty presented to Mr. Strozier a cup bearing the elo­quent dedication, "For having survived with distinc­tion where to have survived is an honor." There issurely reason to express to Mr. Strozier our deepestgratitude for his superior service.6The UniversityChancellor Lawrence A. Kimpton A modern-Gothic monolith, the AdministrationBuilding stands today as the effective center of thecampus (pace Mr. Rockefeller). Everything con­cerning every student and teacher, every action andchange, every matter of money or morals, every­thing must run along passages of red tape whichbegin, end, and/or synapse somewhere within theapproximately eighteen million square inches offloor space in the Administration Building.The head of the organism is on the fifth floor.From this base the jobs of initiating, planning, cor­relating, recording, and integrating the immensecomplex of actions and interactions known as theUniversity of Chicago are carried on by ChancellorLawrence A. Kimpton and the five Vice-presidents(Dean of Faculties, Business Affairs, Special Scien­tific Programs, Development, and Special Projects).In June, 1956, Edward 1. Ryerson, retiring at 70from the chairmanship of the Board of Trustees,performed his last public act as chairman by takingspade in hand and effecting the ground-breakingfor the new women's dormitory.AdministrationThe Administration BuildingA trustee since 1923 and Chairman since June,1953, he became an honorary trustee and continuedhis work with the University as chairman of thesteering committee of the University's campaignfor $32,700,000. Ryerson was awarded an honor­ary Ll.D. as an "... industrialist, humanist, andhumanitarian, who, in the true spirit of all thesecapacities, exemplifies dedication to the progress ofhis time."As chairman of the Board of Trustees, Ryersonwas succeeded by Glen A. Lloyd, a University alum­nus, who has previously served as president of theLaw School Alumni Association. Recently electedmembers of the Board of Trustees are J. HarrisWard (executive vice-president of CommonwealthEdison Company) and John F. Merriam (presidentof Northern Natural Gas Co.).Money not only talks, it walks, sings, builds, de­stroys, liberates, enchains, saddens, and delights.On the first floor of the Administration Building islocated the center of money matters: the Bursar'sOffice. The Bursar (pronounced with two strongsyllables) is Albert F. Cotton, and with his twoassistants, Madeline G. Irwin and A. Wayne Gies­man, he oversees the operations of bookkeepingfor student fees, check distribution, and so on.The "Office of the Dean of Students" is a trickytitle, implying as it does one office and one dean.In actuality this complex of operations has moreeffect on the student's life than any other singleunit. Under the one Dean of Students of the Uni­versity, Robert M. Strozier, the "office" is a multi­plicity of offices which record and regulate the ac-Above-Retiring Chairman of Board ofTrustees, Edward L.

Scott10tions of all students (from high-school prospectsto post-Ph.D. researchers) in all stations (e.g., bothpotential draftees, and real veterans are considered)in every way.There is one Associate Dean, John P. Netherton,and three Assistant Deans, Mrs. Ruth O. McCarn,Robert C. W oellner (also Director of VocationalGuidance and Placement), and William E. Scott(also Director of Admissions.) Working underDean of the College McCrea Hazlett are the twen­ty-three advisers to students in the college (SeniorAdvisers: John C. Mayfield, Russell B. Thomas,Margaret Kraemer, Donald Meiklejohn, and Wil­liam C. Bradbury). The position of Associate Deanwas created this year, and to fill the vacancy leftby Netherton as College Dean of Students, Hazlettwas brought up from the English faculty. StephenB. Wood remained assistant Dean of Students inthe College.When Scott switched from his position as Regis­trar to that of Director of Admissions, young DavidL. Madsen, once assistant to the Registrar, took hisplace. Part of the work of the Registrar's Office isthe keeping of permanent records, receiving andsending out transcripts, levying registration fees,advising on selective service, planning and execut­ing Central Registration, and regulating Convoca­tions.For last year only Dean Strozier acted as Directorof Student Activities, with Mary Alice Newman asLooking from a different angle at regulartransaction being made between JohnLyon and cashier, in the Bursar's OfficeEvidently Mary Alice Newman finds thatbeing Director of Student Activities hasits lighter momentsMiss Dorothy Denton, Auditor of all stu­dent activity accounts11assistant Director. At the beginning of this yearMrs. Newman assumed the whole responsibility asDirector, and Director of Housing Allen Austill(who was director of Admissions and Placementat St. John's College before he came here in 1955)took on added work as assistant Director.A lot of phrases originate at this University andare abbeviated here: aMP, SSA, FTF, SG, ISL,SRP, B-J .... There has come, though, from theoutside, three letters: IBM, which have ceased torepresent any agency except the Examiner's office.However inaccurate be this mechanistic concept,students incorrigibly think of the Examiners' Officeas operated by machines or some kindred form ofinhumanity.That this proposition is false is demonstratedevery year when Examiner Benjamin S. Bloom ap­pears to say some words of encouragement to enter­ing students.

Director of Student Health isDr. Henrietta Herbolsheimer, who oversees thework of some 14 physicians and a psychiatric socialworker. T. Nelson Metcalf retired last year as Di­rector of Physical Education, and chosen to takehis place was Walter M. Hass, former footballcoach. Hass is also chairman of the men's physicaleducaction program; Edith Ballwebber is chairmanof the women's program.Although not centered in the AdministrationBuilding, that part of the administration whichdeals with the library system is as nearly importantto the people here as the Bursar's office. Under thegeneral supervision of Library Director HermanH. Fussler, the library system of the University isdivided into two parts: Readers' Services Division(under Stanley E. Gwynn) and Preparations Divi­sion (under John M. Dawson).1314Curriculum15Physical SciencesIf the physical world is founded on the back ofa tortoise which is supported by a dozen elephantswhich are held up by two strong mountains, thosemountains are named Chemistry and Physics. Agreat number of Chicago students choose to scalethose heights, first, just because they are there, andsecondarily because, in this age, the realms of in­dustry, medicine, and the military receive their vi­tality from the physical sciences.Besides chemistry and physics, the Division ofthe Physical Sciences also includes departments inastronomy and astrophysics, geography, mathemat­ics, meteorology, and others. Added to these are"The Institutes," as they are called, (The Institutefor the Study of Metals and the Enrico Fermi Insti­tute for Nuclear Studies) which present advancedstudies in the more recent developments obtainingin the physical sciences.Courses in the Division range from the august,ethereal heights of 499 (Research for Post-Ph.D.Fellows) to a rather pedestrian level referred to asElementary Glass Blowing.A UC physicist working on the cyclotronin the pit of the accelerator building. John and Leona Marshall in the pit.16Among the visiting professors and assistant pro­fessors in the Department of Mathematics were Dr.Lars Garding (Lund University), Dr. Rene Thorn(Universite de Strasbourg), and Dr. MasatakeKuranishi (Institute for Advanced Study).The Department of Meteorology maintains lab­oratories for research in hydrodynamic models,cloud physics, and instrument development. Lo­cated on the Quadrangles is a center for weatherforecasting research, working with the ChicagoDistrict forecast center of the United States Weath­er Bureau.The Department of Physics, in collaborationwith the Institutes, is especially equipped for ex­perimental and theoretical research in mass spec­troscopy, cosmic rays, low-temperature physics,and solid-state physics. Counted among the lares etpenates of the Fermi Institute are a 170-inch syn­chrocyclotron, a lOO-million-volt betatron, and a400-kilovolt Cockcroft-Walton accelerator.

The death of a beloved figure, the adminis­trative Odyssey of the Dean, and the Block giftwere a few of the more striking happenings.The passing of Anton J. Carlson, professor ofPhysiology, known to his students and colleaguesas "Ajax", was a great loss to the University andto the scientific world. Dr. Carlson's work in mam­malian physiology, his co-authorship of the textMachinery of the Body, and his advisory functionsin such governmental agencies as the Pure Foodand Drug Administration established his nationalprominence. But Ajax's appeal to those who knewhim was of a different sort. He was a personalityof a very special kind. His most famous questionwas "Vot is de effidence?" In arranging class hours,he avoided conflicts by conveniently schedulingDean of the Biological Sciences, L. T. Coggeshallin a conference (side), and with his wife (above)19Histology class in the Anatomy Building�,_-1-«JUT 1 HEARD HIM} DI{. PARK! HElHSTIJl(CTLY SAID, 'TAK� ME ToYOUR. LEADE R\,)l20 meeting times at 7 a.m. Dr. Carlson often hadto face the cries of the antivivisectionists. He si­lenced one wealthy matron who had eloquentlypleaded the cause of antivivisectionism before alegislative body by merely pointing to her minkstole and asking, "Vot is dot you are vearing?"Dr. Carlson's four-score-plus life was one fromwhich the Division had the great fortune to benefit.L. T. Coggeshall's trip to Austria to observe theHungarian refugees climaxed a two-year period ofservice as Assistant to the Secretary of Health, Edu­cation and Welfare. The Dean returned to theUniversity on a full time basis early in 1957. Theproblems facing him were numerous, but theircommon element concerned the maintenance anddevelopment of the Division as a great center ofresearch and teaching. A unique aspect is that theMedical School is an integrated unit of the Divi­sion. The absence of sharp barriers between clin­ical studies and basic research is fandamental tothe advance of medical science, for�xample. TheBlock bequest of over $17,000,000 will do muchto provide the financial framework in which theDivision can continue to fulfill its unique func­tion.Considerable construction work lies ahead.Drexel Avenue will be closed and a building willconnect Billings Hospital and Lying-in Hospital.This will permit expansion, for instance, of theDepartment of Psychiatry and the extension of theresearch laboratories of the Department of Obstet­rics and Gynecology. New housing facilities forresidents, interns, and student nurses are beingplanned. Similarly, the basic sciences of biochem­istry and physiology will be aided by the antici­pated remodelling of Abbott Hall.In the final analysis, the future strength of theDivision rests not merely upon its physical facili­ties, but more so on the greatness of the faculty.From the Bachelor's level up, the Division endeav­ors to provide the stimulating framework in whichthe students will develop into men that shall proveequal to the exciting problems that lie ahead inthe biological sciences.

Kimpton(professor of Philosophy), University Dean of Stu­dents Robert M. Strozier (professor of French), andCollege Dean Robert E. Streeter (associate profes­sor of English).One outstanding force in the Humanities Divi­sion has been Richard P. McKeon, translator, edi­tor, and philosopher. McKeon (Charles F. GreyDistinguished Service professor) is known to al­most every College student as the editor of theTop-Napier Wilt, Dean of Humanities;Middle-Art from Hum I; Bottom-Tothe Oriental InstituteDown Classics' steps from the libraryThe Oriental InstituteModern Library Introduction to Aristotle, a bookwhich is used in at least four of the undergraduatecourses.Elder Olson, a professor of English, has pub­lished in the past few years a comprehensive studyof the poetry of Dylan Thomas, and a book of hisown poems called The Scarecrow Christ. Anothermember of the English Department, Richard G.Stern, has had several of his short stories publishedin magazines.Leland Smith, a member of the Department ofMusic, can count among his compositions a sym­phony and a musical setting for e. e. cummings'morality play, Santa Claus. During this year hereceived the $1000 William and Noma CopleyFoundation award for distinguished accomplish-',. ment in the field of music.Besides the "Ideas and Methods" Committee,there are six other interdepartmental or interdivi­sional committees: General Studies in the Humani­ties, Comparative Studies in Literature, History ofCulture, Far Eastern Civilizations, ArcheologicalStudies, and Medieval Studies.23Social SciencesDean of the Social Sciences, Chauncey HarrisIt has been said that a characteristic of an age ofturmoil is an extensive quantity of social analysis.In this age, surely one of turmoil, there has been adevelopment of serious social thinking, coupledwith the insight-research method of the sciences,producing a body of intellectual investigation ap­proximated by the term "social science." The So­cial Sciences Division of the University is concernedgenerally with problems of the nature of the hu­man being, his ideas and institutions, the complexrelationships between him and his fellow humanbeings, and the nature and extent of his action andreaction to the world.The social sciences were, it may be said, manybefore they were one. Certain of them, such as his­tory and political science, are in some ways as old as civilization; others, such as sociology and psy­chology, are comparatively new pursuits. Many ofthese sciences are not yet crystallized sufficiently toplace them in anyone department of know ledge,as is evidenced by the facts that the Social ScienceDivision shares the study of history with the Hu­manities and the study of psychology with the Bio­logical Sciences.At a considerable advanced level in the Divisionone finds interdepartmental committees on HumanDevelopment, International Relations, and FarEastern Civilization (with the Humanities Divi­sion.)Among the personnel of the Division of the So­cial Sciences there is a constellation of some of themost famous thinkers of modern times. There are25anthropologist Robert Redfield, and sociologistW. Lloyd Warner, whose research projects havedelved deeply into the American social system. Dr.Frank H. Knight (given the high-sounding titleMorton D. Hull Distinguished Service ProfessorEmeritus of the Social Sciences) is recognized asone of the world's most brilliant economists.Among the members of the Department of Educa­tion is Dr. Bruno Bettelheim, a professor of educa­tional Psychology and principal of the Sonia Shank­man Orthogenic School.Sociologist David Riesman has become recog­nized (both in most esoteric circles and the popularpress) as a penetrating analyst of the Americancharacter as well as a scholar of the "ecumenical"sort studying football, movies, and television). Hans J. Morgenthau and Herman Finer are bothwell-known political scientists. The Rise of theBritish Coal Industry, The United States and Civil­ization, and The Universities Look for Unity are,all three, books by John Ulric Nef, who is alsochairman of the Committee on Social Thought.A conference on "Educating the Gifted Child"was held in Judd Hall during the Autumn Quarter.400 administrators and educators were present tohear speeches on the problem and participate indiscussions. Concluding the conference was an ad­dress entitled "Why the New Concern for Educa­ting the Gifted?" delivered by Clarence Faust,president of the Fund for the Advancement of Edu­cation.2627Dean of the Law School Levy LawWilliam Rainey Harper said that an educationin law "implies a scientific knowledge of law andof legal and juristic methods. These are the crys­tallization of ages of human progress. They cannotbe understood in their entirety without a clear com­prehension of the historic forces of which they arethe product, and of the social environment withwhich they are in living contact. A scientific studyof law involves the related sciences of history, eco­nomics, philosophy-the whole field of man as asocial being." Born from this idea, the Universityof Chicago Law School became in 1902 an organicmember of the general University community.Since that year the Law School has been progres­sing in all manners of research and development.There are programs of research in Law and the Be­havioral Sciences, Comparative Law, and consider­ations of Law-Economics. Resulting from there andsimilar studies have been laws and renovation inthe Chicago City government, Illinois State gov­ernment, and the U.S. National Government.The American Bar Center, on 60th across the Midway28Business School Dinner.

Members of this group camefrom a wide range of financial, industrial, andcharitable organizations.

Wright retired in July, 1956, afterserving the School for a quarter of a century asprofessor, and twenty years as Dean. Upon retire­ment, Miss Wright went to Munich for the meetingof the International Conference of Social Workand on to India for a two-year assignment as chiefof a technical assistance team, working with theIndian schools of social work.The School was very fortunate in securing AltonA. Linford to succeed Miss Wright as dean. He isnot new to the School. Since 1945 he has been avalued member of the faculty, teaching courses insocial security, public welfare and administration.He also holds two degrees from the School-theA.M., received in 1938, and the Ph.D., awarded in1947.New faculty members are Mary E.

In recent years, however, this awardhas been supplanted by degrees which signify com­bined work in the College and in the Divisions aswell. The undergraduate student has a choice ofthe type of program he shall pursue, his choice be­ing influenced both by the particular area of hiswork and by the approach, scholastic or commer­cial, he takes toward his field.Certain innovations begun in the administrationof the previous Chancellor Robert Maynard Hut­chins, still remain, either in the original or in avestigial form. Class attendance, though still notrequired, is strongly recommended to most studentsin the first stages of the undergraduate program.The discussion method, which varies from timeto time and from teacher to teacher, is used to aidthe student to form his own ideas and methods Dean of the College, Robert E. Streeterfrom a body of selected readings. In some of theCollege courses guests or faculty members presentlectures concerning either the material at hand orparallel information.The comprehensive examination system is stillthe sole manner of quantitatively gauging a stu­dent's achievement, although at the end of .the firsttwo quarters, advisory grades are given. This yearsaw the initiation ot a program which requires thata student must qualify to take the comprehensiveby not receiving a failing grade for both quarters'work. This qualification was established in recog­nition of the fact that many students were neglect­ing to some degree their College courses and werenot taking the quarterly examinations.

This kind of preparation is givenin three major departments, the Humanities, theSocial Sciences, and the Natural Sciences, with ad­ditional studies in English composition, mathemat­ics, foreign languages, and courses of integration.This procedure makes it posible for a student tocontinue work in a more specialized area in thegraduate divisions. In addition to his College andDivisional work, a student is permitted to partici­pate in certain elective courses. The result of thisprogram is the awarding of an A.B. or S.B. degreein the student's study in the later courses of the de­partments of the divisions of the University.l(HELZE'S AN INTERfSr1N4 OHEJ sru­(THE FALL OF ROkE CAN BE TR�CE"D TOTHE A6S£�Cf OF A 600D FAR� SYST£t1,.JlCollege Dean of Students, McCrea Hazlett38Studying (top, Kenny Kim) From laboratory (side)to library (bottom)Outstanding Faculty of the YearIt must be admitted that the faculty plays a partin the University of Chicago.

Kimpton and by the donorof the endowed prizes, Ernest E. Quantrell of NewYork City, alumnus and trustee of the University.Unique in American education, the LlewellynJohn and Harriet Manchester Quantrell Awardsfor Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching wereestablished in 1938.Mr. Quantrell established the prizes to encour­age and reward outstanding teaching, contributingto preparation of students for participation andleadership in such general pursuits as business,civic, and professional life.Many forms of recognition and prizes exist forfaculty achievement in research, but outstandingteaching is generally unrewarded in American edu­cation, Mr. Quantrell pointed out in establishingthe fund.Winners of the Awards for 1955-56 are: Harold J. F. Gall, assistant professor of naturalsciences in the College, member of the faculty since1947, who teaches in the biological sciences. Mr.Gall also is known for his research work on plantgrowth.Christian W. Mackauer, associate professor andchairman of the College history staff, who teachesthe general course on Western Civilization.

A member of the facultysince 1949, his special interest is the history of art.Mrs. Rosalie H.

A long-time faculty adviser in the Col­lege, Prof. Krueger has also been the key man inthe formation of civic organizations in the Univer­sity community.He is the president of the Northwest Hyde ParkRedevelopment Corporation, and serves on theboard of directors of the Hyde Park-KenwoodCommunity Conference (Mrs. Krueger is a directorof block organizations), the Hyde Park Co-Op, andthe Fifth Ward I.V.I.His activities in local politics have resulted ingroups such as the citizens committee which selectsand supports a citizens candidate for the alderman­ship. Within the University, he is elected to serveon the Council of the University Senate and is amember of many of its committees.The schedule enumerated above results in sevennights out of the week of meetings and conferencesfor Prof. Krueger. One of the first men consultedwhen local problems arise, (or when a job needs tobe done), his counsel and unceasing efforts reflectthe foresight which has made Hyde Park a nationalleader in community redevelopment.42Leonard MeyerSeldom, if ever, have we seen in the New YorkerMagazine a rave review of a book. However, in theJanuary fifth copy, the article in the music sectionby Winthrop Sargeant was entitled Light, and ifthe title was seemingly optimistic about the book,the review, itself, glowed with an aura of worship.Mr. Sargeant said that obviously, music has some­thing to say, but that up to this time, in his opinion,just what this something was had been discussed byromantics, mauled by rhetoric, unfoundedly hy­pothesized on by theorists, or discussed by thosewho were baffled and frustrated. He used the phrase"up to this time" because he had just received abook that attacked the question with both thorough­ness and understanding as well as clarity. After hav­ing read the book, Emotion and Meaning 0/ Music,by leonard Meyer, he said he firmly believed thathe had never found another work on the subject ofmusical aesthetics as outstanding and important as this. Mr. Meyer, who is an associate professor ofmusic at UC, used, according to the review, phi­losophy, psychology and musical theory. As a result,the book, complicated as it is in thought process,might be difficult reading for someone who was justdoing light reading. However if one could carefullyfollow it, Mr. Sargeant felt that the problems sur­rounding musical meaning would be cleared up andthat musical meaning would no longer be en­shouded, vague and involved.We feel that this accomplishment of leonardMeyer (in our estimation the teacher most able tomake humor a part of teaching) was one that de­serves honor. But we feel more strongly that hisgreater accomplishment was that succeeding in aharder role, not only shedding light, but at the sametime remaining vitally interested in and happily apart of his classes. This is a teacher who deservesthe name.43CLOISTERCLUe9AAN\)CLOISTE�ClUee,RAND44 HCffCH\L(��#Clot�CLuBBRMJtlActivitiesStudent Advisory BoardAiding the Office of Admissions to increase U.C.'s enrollment is the Student Advisory Board.

Sylvia Thompson and Herb Zipperiandispense S.G. information at ActivitiesNightStudent GovernmentAccording to a National Student Associationpamphlet on student governments: tt... (to thestudent) success in obtaining a new [unction meansprestige for student government, but success atmaintaining the [unction efficiently over time doesnot mean prestige."Thus can be seen the two possible roads of suc­cess a Government could take. They could do wellthe jobs they already have or they could get newjobs to do. The first probably gives the membersthe self-satisfaction of a job well done; the secondwould give the satisfaction of increased prestigefor the Government. SG members this year had aright to be satisfied on both counts.Under the leadership of President Donald Mil­ler, a group of non-political politcians within ISLwere able to gain control of SG. (The IndependentStudent League had gained a 24 seat majority overthe Student Representative Party in the fall elec­tion.) They managed not only to raise the prestigeof SG by revamping the Government (ttobtainingnew functions"), but also to "efficiently maintainthe (existing) functions."A Commission on Student Government, headedby Sylvia Thompson, probed into the physical set­up of SG and came up with many proposals forimprovement. Included in the commission's reportBruce Larkin, former UC student and nowUSNSA vice-president in charge of Inter­nation Affairs, visits with Don MillerDean R. M. Strozier at the S.

From August21 to 31, nine hundred delegates, alternates, andobservers representing three hundred schools at­tended sub-commission, commission, and plenarysessions of the Congress, the supreme legislativebody of USNSA.Mandel Hall was the scene of the plenaries,while varied other buildings were used for thecommission meetings. Ida Noyes was kept open 24hours a day and was constantly astir with the activ­ity of typewriters and mimeo machines.All was not businesslike, however. The NSAerswere here in convention, and after the day's busi­ness was done, conventioneer they did.

At the spring election 19 of the20 elected were ISLers. Jan Porter, the sole SRPerelected, had led all other candidates in the numberof votes. However, Miss Porter's absence in Indianecessitated the filling of delegate's seat with analternate.The UC delegation was instrumental in themerging of the Illinois and Wisconsin regions ofthe Association into one region. The Chicagoschools profited greatly, as the geographical centerof the new region is now in Chicago.UCers were active in NSA throughout the restof the year as well as during the Congress. CliveGray, former SG president, finished out his year asNSA vice-president in charge of International Af­fairs at the Congress.He was succeeded as International Affairs veepfor 1956-57 by Bruce Larkin, a member of the UCdelegation. Aiding Larkin this year on the Inter­national Commission were Gray, Al Janger (for­mer Maroon editor), and Jerome Gross.Gray served as an administrative assistant to thecommission representing NSA in such far-flungareas as Austria and Ceylon.

After twoweeks of publicity hinting at an off-color gag issue,the announced Monday dawned without any Ma­roons on the stands. The perplexity of the studentswas solved (?) the next morning when the issue hitcampus telling of the seizure of the "gag issue" bythe administration.Staff members were kept busy answering thephones all morning. By afternoon, however, mostreaders had discovered the fact (printed in smalltype in the masthead) that the Tuesday issue wasthe gag issue.This year's most extensive development of theMaroon was in the feature department. Two orthree recurrent columns were addressed to a steadyaudience. One of these, called 'Gadfly', gave amplespace to various commentators who concernedthemselves, for better or worse, with what was/iswrong with the University. Of these, the best-in-formed and best-written was an extensive exam­ination of the Development Office, signed Pertinax.Another space, called 'Culture Vulture', listedquantitatively and qualitatively the artistic goings­on in Chicago.Since the quantity (and quality) of news report­ing remained about the same as in years past, theincrease in space for features was indicative of ageneral increase of space. This was the result of anincreased amount of ad sales and a decrease in theexpenses made possible by the business staff: GaryMokotoff and Larry Kessler.Norm Lewak went to more SG meetings thansome SG members, and used both pictures andwords to describe the stroboscopic vicissitudes ofISL's version of what government should act like.Rochelle Dubnow assigned the stories, coveredthe stories and wrote the stories.The range and nature of the editorials indicatedthat the staff was more curious than prejudicedand more articulate than vehement.

In 1955UT presented Mandragola, a comedy written byNiccolo Machiavelli, whom most of us thought ofas a statesman and political writer or even as the"murderous Machiavel."Continuing this rather customary practice ofpresenting unfamiliar works, the Theatre in theAutumn Quarter performed a Shaw comedy, TheSimpleton of the Unexpected Isles, and in the Win­ter Quarter gave a peripatetic reading of Love'sComedy by Ibsen. The Ibsen tragi-comedy was partof the annual UT series called Tonight at 8:30,which also included a performance of Chekhov'sThe Marriage Proposal, "The High School" (anadaptation of a story by Sholom Aleichem) andan original play by Martha Silverman which sheadapted from her short story, "All Men's TroublesCome in Bed."

The productions at the beginning were gen­erally farcical in nature, later becoming more likethe general tradition of college musical comedyreviews. There was a corresponding society forwomen called Mirror. This phoenical activity wentthe way of all feathers in 1942.Blackfriars rose from the ashes in 1955, and be­gan (now with men and women together) to workon a new musical comedy, "Gamma Delta Iota,"which was given in April, 1957. Music for theshow was written by Doug Maurer, with book byPhil Coleman and Mike Hall. Leading roles weretaken by Hal Levy and Carol Klein, supported byDave Adams and Alice O'Grady.Working this year on a budget of less than$1,000, Blackfriars could this year hope for thereturn of the good old days, when the budget was,at one time, around $10,000.

The program, in keeping with the non­denominational Protestantism of the Chapel, singsmusic characteristic of various faiths.The Choir's special performances in the Chapelduring major religious holidays are well attended.The group is well-known for its baroque perform­ances of Handel's "Messiah" and the St. John andSt. Matthew Passions of Bach. Several of these per­formances have been broadcast over WFMT.Glee ClubThe University of Chicago Glee Club does nothave any technical or musical requirements formembership, and it is therefore a group of people(about forty in number) who sing for fun becausethey like to.Under the direction of William Diehl, the GleeClub presented a concert for Christmas and an in­formal concert late in the Winter Quarter; theyalso participate in the Festival of the Arts. Thiswide realm of concerts demonstrates the latitude of William Diehl, director of the Glee Club,stops to make a pointthe Glee Club's activity, in that they sing sacredand secular music at formal and informal concertsgiven at various times during the year.The Glee Club was founded in 1950, originallya part of the Channing Club. In 1952 it became anindependent organization, and has since functionedas a musical and social group for the pleasure ofits members and the entertainment of the campusat large.7576 Musical SocietyAnn Kish working with Leland Smith ona question of interpretationThe UC Musical Society continued in its five-yeartradition of presenting chamber music recitals tothe music lovers of the campus and neighborhood.These free performances featured not only mem­bers of the Society but also faculty members andoutside guests. Leland Smith of the UC music de­partment continued his association with the Societyby giving a performance of his own sonata. Mr.Smith is the composer of the opera "Santa Claus"which premiered in Mandel Hall in December,1955. Some of the other artists who performedthis year were Jeanne Bamburger, Anne Kish, andPauline Lederer.Outing ClubThe members of the Chicago Outing Club gath­er to plan trips to mountain ranges, national parks,and the like, which take place during the interimsbetween quarters. They have travelled westwardto the Rockies and southward to the Appalachiansfor such things as skiing trips and canoeing expedi­tions. All members of the University have been in­vited to go along.77Astronomical SocietyActively, the members of the Astronomical So­ciety do three sorts of things. The first member ofthis trichotomy is Observation: looking throughtelescopes at stars and planets, etc. The second isOptics: doing work, with lenses and mountings,that is predicated on Observation. The third is in­dulgiqg in Theory, or what you do when you comedown from Mount Ryerson bearing data. Observa­tion, Optics, and Theory, then.Passively, the Society sponsors about one lecturea quarter, which might concern such things as starsof variable magnitude (which phenomena are ob­jects of a current Society project) or the face of thisside of the moon.Above-Pete Vandervort and Carl Mi­chelis polishing an astronomical tele­scope mirror in the Optical Shop in base­ment of Ryerson; Lower-Quarterly lec­ture given by Joseph W.

The Chicago Folklore Society uses the firstapproach principally, and each year has presentedthe campus with wing-dings (everybody sings),hootenannies (variety performances), and individ­ual public concerts (e.g., the incomparable Odetta).John Ketterson, Tom Diamondstone, TimSamson, strumming and singingLarge crowd gathered for a Wing Dingoverflows Reynold's club South loungeFolk Lorists exchange versions of folksongs79Pressures must be adjusted Rocket SocietyAs a socio-technical meeting place for studentsin the Divisions as well as the College, the RocketSociety functions to foster independent researchand mechanics in the designing, building, and test­ing of rockets. The most important work doneduring 1957 was on the construction of a new-typemotor with replaceable sections and a variablevolume, which could be dismounted in the fieldwithout necessitating a return to the laboratory­workshop.Since it is open to College and Divisional stu­dents, the Society serves to soften the transitionfrom the former to the latter: a problem whichhas often been noted. It being illegal to make useof rockets inside the Chicago city limits, membersof the Society are forced to retreat to neighboringfarm-pastures to do their testing.Rocket Society members prepare for a launching80John Avery, Herbert Hahn, Dorty Hess,Donald Miller, Sue Jacobson at a WUSmeeting.

Through the cooperation of itsthirty-eight member nations, WUS contributes to­ward international understanding and the reali­zation of a world community.To do its share, the u.c. WUS Committee spon­sored a fund and educational drive in November.Sundays during the Autumn Quarter, the commit­tee held pizza work parties. The outcome of themeetings were posters, a sign for "between thetrees," and three thousand letters to commutingstudents. A display in Mandel corridor and in theBookstore, plugs over WUCB, speakers at clubmeetings, and direct solicitation in the dormitoriesand of faculty members completed the approachof the committee. The total contributed was $1,000.Jan Porter shows Indian silk at a talk thatWus sponsored about her trip to Indialast summerCamera Club, Documentary FilmsPhotography, an art-science descended partlyfrom the novelty experiments conducted by L. J. M.Daguerre during the nineteenth century, has be­come important: in journalism as an easy methodfor rapidly recording the appearances of eventsand persons; in art as a form of visual organiza­tion. Photography developed into an art form ofarranged images or impersonal objects or person.The objects of the Camera Club are working withthe material techniques and discussing the dimen­sional potentialities of camera work.Every Tuesday and Friday the DocumentaryFilm Group (DocFilm) has showings of the classicmovies of all time of all countries. These relativelyfew films are the only evidence that the cinema canrise above the opiate level and become a significantart form. A number of the movies are American­made, antique comedies for the most part; othersare from the era of German expressionistic and sci­ence fiction films, Russian tragedies, and French(i.e., Cocteauesque) vagaries.82 Side-Doc films members collecting tick­ets at the door of Soc 122; Below-Print­ing in the darkroom in the basement ofReynolds Club; Top-Checking the nega­tive for dust and scratchesLois Adelman takes an order from cook Jerry Rodnitzky Snack BarA man's got to eat.

Playing with the abovefour in the League were Robert Augustine, BillThomasson, Peter Kneip, Gordon Dunham andMichael O'Hara.In addition to tournament play the chess clubhas held the Chicago City Championship, the All­University tournament and the Midwest Interuni­versity Championship, inaugurated on this campuslast year.FOTA CommitteeFestival of the Arts, previously a faculty dom­inated organization, took on a new twist this yearand became an all student run event (with theexception of one "administrative advisor," AllenAustil).In keeping with the Festival's policy of studentadministration, Mary Jeanne Slabodnik and Bar­bara Quinn took on the joint chairmanship of theFOTA committees. Other UC'ers planning thethird annual festival are: Rochelle Dubnow, co­ordinator of public relations and publicity; EdnaArrington, chairman of Beaux Arts Ball; Jacquelyn Peldzus, Stewart McHenry and Charles Rohan, incharge of music, literature, arts and special events,respectively.For the first time in 23 years the Blackfriars re­hearsed a full length musical production to bepresented during the FOT A week in April. A Fes­tival of Nations at International house was in theprocess of being prepared, along with a "Chicagostyle" debate by Student Forum, a student art ex­hibition, UC glee club and University choir pro­ductions, University Theatre performances and ofcourse, The Beaux Arts Ball.Above-Festival planners: Edna Arrington, MaryJeane Slabodnik, Bobbi Smiskol, Rochelle Dub­now, Sylvia Hedley; Side-Committee: On floor­Yolande de Bruyn, Bobbi Smiskol; Seated-SylviaHedley, M.

This year marked the twentiethanniversary of the St. Valentine's Day massacre,and the gallant members of Owl and Serpent in­vited Nu Pi Sigma ("Nu Pi" to its friends) to cel­ebrate the occasion. After cocktails in the luxu­riously furnished quarters of Owl and Serpent, theNu Pi's were driven to an undisclosed destination.Though some of the girls were heard to expressdoubts after driving fifty miles, the destination waslegitimate: a sporting club in a rural area southof Chicago. It was too cold for sport, so the Owlsand Serpents limited their after-dinner amusementsto winning all the money in the slot machines. Theparty was considered a huge success by all except,possibly, the gambling Syndicate.Nu Pi Sigmas have not lost hope of obtaining aroom for themselves, though none materializedthis year. The society did manage to draft a newconstitution, one feature of which allows membersto remain active for more than one year if they stayon campus.Discussion: (top)-Janice Metros andJohn Frankenfeld; Lower-Kathy Aller,Chris Moore, Ruthe Karlin, and PaulHoffman Nu Pi's Owls, and Serpents at cocktailsbefore famed celebration of the St. Valen­tine's Day Massacre: Eliza Houston, LynnChadwell, Athan Theoharis, and JimCamp87Iron MaskIron Mask is a society almost as old as the Uni­versity itself. It was founded in 1896 to recognizeundergraduates who were making considerablecontribution to the University through accomplish­ment in extra-curricular endeavor as well as byscholastic excellence.Today Iron Mask is a secret honor society forundergraduate men. Each spring it inducts into itsranks a small number of College men who haveserved the University in manifold activities.Although, as a society, Iron Mask is almost com­pletely honorary (in the sinecure sense of thatword) it is assured that the members, as individ­uals and as members of working groups, havebenefitted from having attended the University,and that the University has benefitted from theirhaving been here.In the Autumn Quarter, Iron Mask honored itssponsor, Dean Robert M. Strozier, at a dinner, andin the Winter Quarter similarly feted Bursar Al­bert F. Cotton. Bursar Cotton (center) is honored at IronMask Dinner.

The Chicago chapter, Gamma Sigmawas active from 1939 to 1946 when it becameinactive.Having 290 active chapters throughout theUnited States and Hawaii, APO is composed ofCollege and University men who are or have beenpreviously affiliated with the Boy Scouts. Its pur­pose is to develop friendship and promote serviceto humanity.Active chapters throughout the nation havesponsored book exchanges (the APO book ex­change at CCNY handles 20,000 books per semes­ter, maintain a lost and found service on campus assist at registration provide tours, act as non­partisan ballot counters at student governmentelections and many other activities which fall un­der the category of service.APO members help out in local and nationalcharitable campaigns: for example March of Dimes,CARE, and Community Chest. The Yale universitychapter frequently sponsors blood bank drives forthe Red Cross.Being a service fraternity, APO crosses all linesof honorary, social and professional fraternities andmembers of other campus fraternities can and dobecome active in APO.Requirements for membership are a previousaffiliation with scouting, and a desire to renderservice to others.The chapters do not have houses but instead theymaintain an office on the campus and/or a placeto hold meetings and social functions.8990ReligionPorter Foundation meeting in Swift92 One of the salient scandals of the American re­ligious situation is that area of action which isbased on the grand principle: If a person is inchurch, he is with God. It is this idea which hasprompted social gatherings, ping-pong games, yo­yo tournaments, and has served directly to destroyany remnant thread of effective faith among someAmerican youth.It is fortunate that, by and large, religious groupson this campus have successfully segregated funfrom faith and can still practice a great deal ofboth, to good purposes.The nexus of all campus religious activity isRockefeller Memorial Chapel. As said by the donorof the Chapel, <t••• the University in its ideal isdominated by the spirit of religion, all its depart­ments are inspired by religious feeling and all itswork is directed to the highest ends." Each Sundaya service is performed in the Chapel, with a talkdelivered by Dean John B. Thompson, other mem­bers of the Theological Faculty, or a visiting lec­turer.Two other members of the Chapel staff, JamesR. Lawson and Dr. Heinrich Fleischer, offer almostweekly concerts and recitals at the carillon and or­gan, respectively. Richard E. Viksrom, director ofChapel music, has presented during the past fewyears a number of major concerts with accompanie­ment by members of the Chicago Symphony. Thefirst of this year's such concerts was a performanceof Handel's Messiah given on December 9.Several student-faculty organizations give tomembers of various denominations opportunitiesfor fellowship and discussion. Among these are theBaptist Student Fellowship, The Christian ScienceOrganization, The Porter Foundation (Congrega­tional, Evangelical and Reformed, and Presbyteri­an), The Disciples Student Fellowship, CanterburyClub (Episcopal) Society of Friends, B'nai B'rithHillel Foundation, Lutheran Student Association,Methodist Foundation, Calvert Club (Roman Cath­olic), and Channing Club (Unitarian).Each of these groups presents, for the campus atlarge, several various intellectual and social activi­ties. One of these is the annual William ElleryChanning lectures, dealing with contemporary The Young Friends at work, gatheringclothing for distribution abroad throughthe American Friends Service Committee93The Canterbury Club meeting with FatherBaar in Brent House94 problems. Hillel presents every year a Hanukkahparty, the well-known high point of which is along debate-symposium, "The Latke vs. the Ham­antash: Their Metaphysical, Political, Historical,Sociological, Anthropological, etc., Implications."For all Christian students there is the Inter-VarsityChristian Fellowship, which functions as an inter­denominational, evangelical organization to en­courage various sorts of fellowships with Christ.Hillel Chamber Music Group; First row-Mary Finkle, Howard Schachter, NancySmith, Judy Podore; Second row-JoeBaron, Martin Kain, Art Fayer, EstherBenuck, Virginia Spaeth, Aaron Kafka,Don WilsonSports95Coach Norgren smiles in answer to aquestion at the receptionJoseph Stamph, new director of JV Athletics96 CoachesNelson Metcalf, Director of Athletics since 1933when Stagg retired, this year retired and was suc­ceeded by Walter Hass.Hass was the Director of Athletics at CarletonCollege and was the head coach of Chicago's fledg­ling football "squad" this year.Along with the new Athletic Director came anew emphasis on athletics at the U. of C. Manysmall colleges have already sent letters to the Ath­letic office requesting that football games be sched­uled with them next year.Coach Nels Norgren, "the best punter and mostconsistent ground gainer in the conference" accord­ing to the 1913 Cap & Gown, and one of the great­est athletes and coaches of the U of C, retired at theend of this year. Alumni Day was called "NelsNorgren Day" and two hundred alumni gave Nelsa standing ovation as "a remarkable player" and"a remarkable coach."Kyle Anderson, Assistant Director of Athletics,also baseball (and football) coach, played on thefootball, baseball and basketball squads beforejoining the staff. Kooman Boycheff, Director ofIntramurals and Golf coach, played football, bas­ketball and baseball at Oberlin and Michigan. Jo­seph Stampf became the director of JV Athleticsafter many pro-basketball offers.This is the first year that JV Athletics will referto college athletics on a junior varsity level insteadof University High athletics. U-High will have itsown separate program centered around Sunny Gymand any early entrants (the number is rapidly di­minishing) who wish to participate will have to gothere.Alvar Hermanson, the fencing and soccer coach,is one of the best three weapon coaches in thecountry.

Usedflashbulbs littered North Field as reporters forTime, Life, and the local newspapers publicizedChicago's pigskin progress.Directing the squad were Coaches Hass, Bjork­lund, Kreidler and Anderson. Under their tutelage,the athletes buckled down to make up in effortwhat they lacked in experience. The results were awell-played scrimmage against North Park Col­lege, and a gallant effort against North Central'smore experienced team. The North Park scrim­mage was notable in that it marked the first Uni­versity football activities on Stagg Field since thewar. Over 250 students, many with pennants,"packed" the stands, and there were occasionallymore photographers than players on the gridiron.The quality of Chicago's play reflected the team'sdetermination. Time after time, Werner spiralledthe ball to Lusk or Sexton in long 20-25 yard passes.Backfieldmen Couzens, Michalik and Lester ground98out short yardage. In the line Kindrek, Dixon, Mal­kus, Griffith and Clay played outstanding ball. Chi­cago was more than a match for the North Parksquad, which finished the season with a 3-3 record.Although both teams scored twice, Chicago playedsuperior football.The Maroons were the underdogs in a scrim­mage against tough North Central College a weeklater. The heavier players and long experience ofthe opponents made decided inroads into the Ma­roon's game.This was the final scrimmage of the season; ascheduled tussle with- the Navy Pier Illini was can­celled because of injuries and weather.The team members turned in their uniformswith expectations of a larger and more formidableschedule next year. Some of the more visionaryplayers look forward to the hypothetical day whenthe class will become a genuine team, and mightymen of the Maroon will regain for the Universitythe glory of the golden age of the gridiron.99TrackThe shot is balanced; now to be put100 Coach Ted Haydon giving last-minute in­structions to Walter Perschke and GeorgeKarcazesAfter a season's record of sixteen wins and oneloss, in 1955-56, the track team this year had littlehope of equalling or bettering its record. The teamsuffered losses in all the Field events and also in thehurdles, however, it was considerably strengthenedin the dash and coach Haydon expressed his belief,early in the season that this years squad would beas good as any others.Its only losses during the indoor season were toKansas State and Western Michigan and to power­ful Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan squads.U of C Track Club men were in the HolidayMeet, Chicagoland Open, UCTC Invitational andUCTC Invitational Relays as well as the NationalAAU Indoor Championships in New York's Madi­son Square Garden, The Milwaukee JournalGames and the Daily News Relays.Members of the UCTC who were on the U.S.A.Olympic team in 1956 were: Phil Coleman, TedWheeler, and Ira Murchison. The world record of:07.0 for the 70 yard dash was tied by Varsity run­ner Al Jacobs; and the Varsity record in the 880yard relay was broken by the relay team of HoseaMartin, Al Jacobs, George Karcazes and BrooksJohnson.The Varsity record in the 21;2 mile distance med­ley relay was broken by the quartet consisting ofBud Perschke, Pete McKeon, Art Omohundro, andCharlie Rhyne.Out of nine dual meets and one triangular, thecross country team won nine and lost one. Theybeat Northern Illinois, Wright Jr. college, Univer­sity of Wisconsin (Milwaukee), Southern Illinois,Bradley University, Western Illinois, Wabash Col­lege, Valparaiso and Albion College. They lostonly to Michigan State Normal and Loyola Uni­versity.Art Omohundro took first in all ten of thesemeets for an undefeated season. He also had wonthe last six out of last year's seven meets, givinghim a string of sixteen consecutive victories in in­tercollegiate cross country competition.UCTC also took first in the UCTC 5 mile run,second to the New York AC in the National AAU10,000 meter Cross Country Championships andfirst in the Central AAU 5000 Meter.Coach Haydon, Rhyne, Perschke, Price, Houk, Martin,Karcazes, A.

At the lasthome game of the season, over five hundred stu­dents commemorated the occasion with a monsterrally, complete with band, cheerleaders and bon­fire. Sadly, the rally failed to produce the shatter­ing effect on the Navy Pier opponents that a similardemonstration did in 1953. Final score: Maroons62, Illini 65.This year's cage squad worked hard to makeNorgren's final season a successful one. Only twoof last season's starters returned this year, and theteam was not as tall as most of its opposition.Coach Norgren's switch from man-to-man defenseto the zone system helped to compensate for thelack of lofty players. Most formidable Maroon ad-Al Devitt tips ball to Don Green (number 5)Billy Lester (number 14) as Navy Pier men and JohnAnderson (partially hidden) go for a reboundvantage was Captain Billy Lester, who broke hisown varsity scoring record with a 42-point tallyagainst Aurora College. Billy ranked high in thenation in scoring, his game average at the time ofthe 15th game being 26 points.Team offense was, of course, built around Les­ter. Pearson and Dewitt were also consistnet scor­ers, Pearson setting a new freshman varsity recordof 30 points in the Aurora game. Both are fresh­men, and should give the few Chicago basketballfans many a thrill in the next three years. Also out­fighting their taller opponents on the boards wereAnderson and Rodnitzky.With the exception of the Navy Pier game andpep rally, crowds were non-existent save for theusual Psi U turnout and a handful of others. Theteam itself was spirited, and the bench contributedgreatly to the team morale.The team was hampered by injuries: Wood,Wolff, Anderson, Dewitt, Pearson, Green and Rod­nitzky all had to spend some time on the bench.The best games were the 105-58 defeat of Aurora,the 70-63 loss to Wabash (the Maroon's traditionallast-quarter rally was not quite enough to save thegame), and a 55-47 loss to Elmhurst with Pearsonon the bench.

No one house dominated thesports scene and the competition for each of theAutumn championships was intense.Mead took the trophy in the major Autumnsport, touchball. Mathews, Coulter, Vincent andSalisbury were burly fighting teams with Coulterrated as the team to beat at the beginning of theseason. While these four teams saved their mainefforts for each other, underdog Mead squeezedthrough six of its games by narrow margins to ekeout their upset victory. Final Mead record: 6-1-0.Individual stars were Billy Hines and Gary Pearsonfor Mathews, Dave Weitzman of Coulter, NickDeMerrill of Salisbury and John Page with Leigh­ton Slattery of Vincent.Coulter relinquished the swimming champion­ship for the first time in four years. Vincent House.ducked all opposition with 52 points. Other scores:Mathews 22, Coulter 19, Dodd 10, Salisbury 5. In­dividual champions were Gernon (Vincent) 40-yard free style, Zagorski (Dodd) 60-yard backstroke, Meyersberg (Vincent) 60-yard breast stroke,and Zagorski (Vincent) in the 100-yard free style.Vincent also won the 120-yard medley relay anlthe 160-yard free style relay.In the last event of the Autumn Quarter, Vincentwon the ping-pong title. Competition for this honorlanguished this year, only four teams competing.Other teams were Salisbury and Coulter.Intramural action in the Winter and SpringQuarters are track, handball, squash, badminton,volleyball, softball, tennis, golf and horseshoes.Although Coulter relinquished its monopoly onCollege House League trophies this year, Psi U re­mained the New York Yankees of the Fraternityand Divisional League. The Psi U "A" squadmopped up the opposition, including Psi U "B," totake the touch ball laurels. Other good teams in thecompetition were AKK and Phi Kappa Psi. WayneMahood, Bill Weaver, Butcher Abeles, Mo Philonand Wendell Marumoto were the star individualsof the season.The exception to Psi U's rule was provided byZBT when it came from behind to win the swim­ming trophy. ZBT's Bill Salem was the individualstandout.ZBT also appeared to have the Ping-Pong titlein the bag when they won the singles event 4-2; butthe Psi U's, sparked by Roy Lavick, Rob Kirby andHerb West, swept the doubles 3-0 to win their vic­tory.The winter quarter was Psi U's own. Its teamsplayed basketball as if they had invented it, takingfirst place in the Fraternity League and the All­University competition. Defending their title, PsiU "A's" played their only close game againstsecond-place Phi Gamma Delta, retaining theirFraternity League trophy. ZBT also floored a goodteam, and star individual players included Antonik,Gaynor, Frankenfeld and Snyder. The outstandingbasketball team was the Psi U Outlaws, which tooktwo titles, and tied for a third. In pre-season play,the Otulaws trounced Psi U "A," the defenders,and good teams from Mathews, Psi U and the LawSchool. Colby, Watson, Carlson and Snyder stoodA Fiji comes in just ahead of Psi U Mo Philon out on the boards. The Divisional League raceended in a three-way tie among the Psi U Outlaws,the Barristers and the Tigers. In the All-Universityplay, the Outlaws poured on extra energy to defeatthe defending Barristers, the Psi U "A's," Coulterand the Tigers. The tense final game was won by alast-second shot placed by Coach "Headlights"Hill.Not content to rest on its cage laurels, Psi Utook the track award from Phi Kappa Psi. The PhiPsi's were hurt by the loss of their star sprinter,Dave Currie, but managed to finish second aheadof a strong team from Alpha Delt.

Rossner, MarvKaplan, Joe Ellis, John De Meull, Laurence R. VeyseySince last year's changes in the council constitu­tion, the general government of Burton-Judson hasbeen in the hands of a council of the eight housepresidents. The formal object of the council hasbeen the deciding of policy on the use of commonrooms, which comes down to supervision of theweekly movies, the hi-fi set, the television, the rec­reation room, the candy machines, the laundryroom and cleaning service, darkroom facilities, andthe Snack Bar.Inheriting a deficit, the movie committee was atfirst unsuccessful in making a profit, but beginningin the Winter Quarter both the quality of moviesand the quantity of spectators were increased, theresult being a notable rise in income.Burton CourtAs always, B-J food was an object of pessimisticcontemplation. The males, finding the school pleas­ant and the company affable, chose to make ascapegoat of the plentiful and well-varied diet, andproceeded to consume all of it and wax fat. Thekitchen staff was extremely cooperative in helpingto prepare for special occasions, e.g., exchange din­ners, and celebrated every holiday with a specialty.The increase in College enrollment this year pro­duced a rather serious housing problem. As yet,none of the projected new dormitories has beencompleted, and the solution of the problem con­sisted in some rather far-reaching rearrangements.Beecher House, long-time Law School strongholdin the C-Group, was converted into a dorm forundergraduate girls, and law students were placedin Mead House, which was previously an under-Mead House: Seated-Eugene Hamilton, Paul Wille, HalShields, Richard Johnson; Standing-Kenneth Butler, graduate men's dorm. The legalization of MeadHouse meant that three of the Burton-Judsonhouses were for graduate students, while five re­mained predominantly for undergraduates. Whenthe law students moved into B-J, the Judson Li­brary was converted into a Law Lounge, and thisarrangement led to several drastic changes in theuses of B- J common rooms. The Burton Libraryreplaced the Judson Library as a party room, thehi-fi which had been in the Burton Library wasmoved into a smaller room, and the television set(which began its notorious peregrinations in theSpring Quarter of 1956) was shuttled into anothersmall room. The Judson mezzanine storage roomwas made into an office for the house presidents,and the sixth floor aerie of Chamberlin House wasfully utilized as housing space. Briefly, there wasno superfluous space in Burton-Judson.Calvin Selfridge, Hugh Kemp, William Cortwight, PeterClark125After a period of well-occasioned hubris, CoulterHouse received its nemesis, and failed to repeatlast year's achievement of winning all the intra­mural championships.

Here the replete meet to eat and sleep,and occasionally party. Sleeping in Snell-Hitch­cock is probable, because of the subtle studioussolemnity: only the sonorous footfalls of Basle thecat soliloquize simply in the silence. The exit ofathletic teams marching forth to do battle in theintramural league do not sabotage the solid frame­work of steely study. Athletic teams are few innumber and conservative in constitution.But in the bowels of the earth exists three-quar­ters of the Snell-Hitchcock activity iceburg. Hereare Snell-Hitchcock men wasting away to mereblimps in the kitchen, acquiring culture throughtelevision, maintaining the fine edge of muscularpreparedness at ping-pong, pool, or the coke ma­chine. Here is the chug of the coin-washers beatingclothes to lint, the pungence of the hot iron reduc­ing shirt to carbon, the trauma of the insipid sogthat almost was a cake-here is life in the raw."Basle Ball," "Hoedown," "Mardi Gras," par­ties are anachronisms. These men with the hoe haveburst their restraining bonds and performed withverve and dash. They have stumbled through thefestivities with agile alacrity, proving that they arenot socially dead, but merely out of residence.He who has known this vibrant microcosm calledSnell-Hitchcock desires nothing more of life ex­cept ...132Lunch in Burton dining room is to a back­ground of stained glass, chandeliers, highceilings133"Swing your partner" at the Hitchcocksquare danceJudson Court is almost Ivy League in ar­chitectural atmosphereThe quiet of Int. House is conducive to study134International HouseInternational House life was highlighted by therunning feud between Arthur Ghent, Editor of theInt House Compass, and the fifth floor Revolution­ary Committee. This group of insurgents chargedthat Ghent's lighthearted editing destroyed theworth of the Compass as a house newspaper. How­ever, many house residents found it refreshing thatthe Compass admitted that there was no seriousnews, and devoted its efforts to satire and farce."Personals" were introduced, though it was ru­mored that Ghent wrote them all himself, a prac­tice not uncommon among student publications.The Compass seemed certain to remain Internation­al House's greatest newspaper.The story of how a young Y.M.CA. secretary atColumbia fell in step with a foreign student oncampus, found that he hadn't talked to a soul inweeks, and conceived the idea of InternationalHouse is too trite to dwell on here. Suffice it to saythat Chicago's Gothic International House is one offour built with the aid of the ubiquitous Rockefel­lers, and that it was built in the early years of thenineteen-thirties.A resident could conceivably spend the yearDining in the cafeteria in Int House International House's gift shopwithout leaving International House (it is said thatsome actually do); its farilities include a cafeteria,barber shop, cleaning service and a Gift Shop com­plete with everything from soap to greeting cardsin Urdu. Recreation is provided by the busy HouseCouncil in the form of movies, lectures and discus­sions, dances, record concerts, teas and numerousother popular social events. The Council also seesto it that the House administration is aware thatblown fuses need replacing, leaky roofs fixing, andother needs tended.International House is inhabited by graduateand upper-class foreign and American studentsfrom several Chicago colleges and Universities.Dedicated to international friendship, the Housesuccessfully mixes students from more than thirtynations at its events and around the bridge tablesin the lounge.135Fraternities"We've been Gorred!" This was the cry risingfrom Phi Gamma Delta throats everywhere as theInter-Fraternity Council, led by IF President HerbGorr (Beta) fined the Fijis two hundred dollars forillegal rushing. The Council's action was vindi­cated when the Dean upheld its ruling, but theCouncil lowered the fine, thus restoring a sem­blance of order.Constructive outcome of the widely publicizedfracas was a re-examination of the Council's rules,and operations. Some proposed abolition of theCouncil; others plugged for right of appeal to the136Debbie Goleman after being crowned by DeanStrozierS-F-A Court on doubtful cases. No major changesin the Council's status are likely to result, as Chi­cago's ten fraternities want all the self-governmentthey can get with fraternities again on the upswing.Reflecting the dynamic leadership of the Coun­cil was a successful I-F Ball in the Del Prado Hotel.Winsome Debbie Goleman, candidate of ZBT, wascrowned Queen of the Ball by Dean Robert Stro­zier. The 120 formally-clad couples at the dancecalled it one of the best in recent years.The pending return of Tau Kappa Epsilon tocampus is indicative of the resurgence of frater­nities, as is the large number of students pledgedthis year.It seems unlikely that Chicago will see frater­nities gain the strength that they have at Illinois,or that they had at Chicago in the late 'twenties.The days when thirty-plus faterniries pledgedeighty per cent of a freshmen class are not visibleto campus prophets, but it is clear that fraternitieswill play a more important role in the universityof the next decade. The activities of the Inter-Fra­ternity Council will have a correspondingly greaterimportance to the average student.

It should give them a high quality (qualitas) of education, while atthe same time affording a low quantity (quantitas) of money, time, and other im­ponderables.Thus, there has been evolved over the years since 1066 a quinquepartite system oflearning. When a person leaves the Convocation, there is in his eye a tear and in hishand a diploma, both signalizing that he has passed the following stages: Basic Courses,Straight Courses, Peripheral Courses, Integration Courses, and Portmanteau Courses.1. Basic Courses. A student needs backbone and to get backbone he must go to thegrass roots; and to get to the grass roots he must have brass tacks. Consequently thereis offered the course generally referred to (in that consummately cute cant called col­lege slang) as Basic (and/or remedial) Bath, since it is generally admitted over the wideworld that cleanliness comes just one notch below godliness. No stigma is attached tothe mark R.(Staff: Nixon, Dixon, Yates.)2. Straight Courses. Next to backbone, a student needs guts. So he is offered agroup of sequential courses, which give him a panoramic view of Everything Ever doneby Everyman. Then, to top the whole thing off, he spends the terminal period of histerminal term sitting in Artless Gymnasium, taking comprehensive examinations. (Thefollowing grading system is used in evaluating a student's performance on comprehen­sive examinations: A=all right; B=better; C=consummate; D=deifiable; and F=ma.) This (i.e., straight course) monad of the quinquepartite dichotomy suffers from atripartite multi vision, to wit:a) A three-year sequence in the Unnatural Sciences. The first year is devoted to an intro­duction to the great books of science (True Romantic Horoscopes) and kindredpamphlets (Introduction to the Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals).During the first year the student considers astrology, numerology, and funda­mental graphology. The second year is taken up in consideration of the four ele­ments, fire, air, earth, and water, and in using them to do things. The last quarteris spent in solving the problem of classifying things like mud and snow. The thirdyear is a grand year, because by that time the student is well prepared to read themonumental My Life, Experience, and Good Times, with exegetical notes on howto make gold out of a degree in chemical engineering, by G. D. S. Merlin, F.R.S.The last two weeks of the course are spent in consideration of Absolute Phrenol­ogy.b) A two-year sequence in the Asocial Sciences. The first-year course, subtitled, "HowTo Dance by Yourself," is formally referred to as Mural Botany, and teaches onethe social graces necessary to being a successful and scintillating wallflower. Afterthe problems of this matter have been solved to the satisfaction of the Examiner'sOffice, the student is ready to take that one giant step into the second year. Thecourse does not have a subtitle, but it is guaranteed to be so enshrouded in mysti­cism that the student will evolve ready to face the world, with excellent experiencein reading court cases.c) A three-year swoop through the Inanities. Inanities One is where a student can go onrainy days and look at pictures and listen to records. The rationale of this courseis found in the motto: AI'S longa est ars gratia artis, which means that art for art'ssake is not long for this world. Inanities Two is especially designed for studentswith a taste for Shakespeare and Milton. Not only is there the entirety of ParadiseLost, but there is an entire quarter spent in study of Love's Labours Lost, followedby a lengthy discussion which tries to equate Love's Labours with Paradise. Thethird year, familiarly called Inanities Three, unravels the knots of Inanities TwoPhoenix Phoenix PhoenixThere's always a standoutLytton's Ivy Hall is a standout, too.

Peripheral Courses. After guts, you gotta have heart. And that is the reason for acatch-all category of loose-end courses, mostly in mathematics and language. The bulkof the math course is spent in a woodworking shop, making truth tables, many of whichmay be observed in the Reynolds Club Lounge (North). The world is getting smaller,and smaller, and smaller, and no longer is the Atlantic Ocean a barrier to culture. It isessential that students have a speaking acquaintance with the major languages of theworld, and therefore they are compelled to take a four-year course called "How ToRead a Book," consisting of choice lectures from Bolivian, High Church Esperanto,Revolutionary Hungarian, and Talmudic Hebrew. Every second Good Friday the stu­dents of this course collect on the Midway to throw Rosetta Stones at one another, butit's all in the spirit of liberte, ega lite, and Phi Gam.(Staff: Lincoln, Mencken, and Nod.)4. Integration Courses. It is essential to put all the foregoing eggs in one basket, asthe old proverb goes, and that is the reason for having two integration courses, youknow, to sort of tie the whole thing in a bundle. The lesser of these is a consideration ofThe Mystery of Western Civilization. Starting with the creation of the world (terra) in3003 B.C., the course progressively gives the student ample evidence for the belief thateverybody is kin to everybody else if you go back as far as Adam. The second integra­tion course, which integrates the first integration into a sort of Positive Synthesis, iscalled, charmingly enough, Omnipotence, or in the patios of students, OMP. In thiscourse, selected readings from Dale Carnegie, Norman Vincent Peale, and FultonCardinal Sheean, give students and teachers alike firm foundation for thinking aboutthinking about thinking.(Staff: Carson, Pirie, Scott.)5. Portmanteau Courses. It has been of late, however, lamented that nine years wasjust too long to spend getting a meaningless degree. To remedy this situation, thefaculty, in collaboration with the Department of the Interior, has developed a group ofcourses which are combinations of certain of those mentioned above. The study ofPhrenology, when considered in the light of the Dead Sea Scrolls, gives quite a bit ofhelp in understanding just what Grundoon is saying.(Staff: Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, VanBuren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Johnson, Grant,Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft,Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Roosevelt, *Truman, Eisenberg.)• On leave of absinthe.

C. Ballooning ClubFashionable among the more progressive ele­ments on campus this year was the U.c. BallooningClub. Founded on the fiftieth anniversary of thedestruction of the ill-fated Zeppelin LZ-4, thegroup has experienced amazing success. Early ac­tivities of the club were limited to free (unsteer­able balloons, and except for one flight which van­ished over Lake Michigan with its crew of four andhas not been seen since, results were satisfactory.The Ballooning Club quickly graduated to theZeppelin-type rigid airship, powered by motorsand capable of speeds in excess of 75 miles perhour. Unable to afford expensive helium gas, thegroup lifted their first airship with highly inflam­mable hydrogen. After a minor mishap on the Mid­way (illustrated in the accompanying photograph),the club searched for something lighter than hydro­gen, but cheap and noninflammable. The solutionwas to evacuate the airship. leaving a vacuum. Ballooning Club President Junius R. Nemo ex­plained, "Vacuum is cheap, safe, there's more of itin the Universe than anything else, and Nature ab­hors it. It's great!"In the Winter Quarter, the Club made plans torun a Zeppelin flight to Europe in competition withS.G.'s charter flight, and advertising posters wereprepared, reading "What Does VACUUM OfferYou That Nothing Else Can? NOTHING!"Unfortunately, the flight was denied approvalby some stodgy members of the Civil AeronauticsBoard after a minor navigational error allowed theairship to fly unannounced over Midway Airport,causing three airplane crashes.The Ballooning Club is not discouraged. Singingits club song, "Up in the Air, Student Leaders," itplans an even more extensive program for nextyear.181GOOD BOOKSGOOD MUSICFINE ART PRINTSAdd So Much To Good LivingBROWSING HOURS:8:00 A.M.

ILLINOISFR 2-2390184 RE l-0855Man of the YearffMan of the Year is a term used to signify that someone person is outstanding." This definition meansnothing. What is the term? What does it reallymean? What is this person outstanding in? A manof the year is outstanding in two senses: in doingsomething on the campus which contributes primar­ily to the student sentiment and record; and second­ly, in being a person who is deservant in working tohis capacity, beyond what he must do and at thesame time accomplishing his own personal goals inboth his academic and extracurricular attempts. Wehave named Billy Lester as the one person duringthis year who is best qualified for this honor. In hav­ing said 'this year,' we are not sure we are correct:his achievements are a result of the work of his col­lege years. He was brought to our attention as aresult of his basetball record. This is a very impor­tant part of his qualifications, but certainly not justbecause he is good in this field. His basketball isimportant to us not because of the records he set (itwas said that he was one of the greatest, if not thegreatest basketball player Chicago has ever had),but because of the amount of work, perseverenceand determination he has shown in making himselfgood in basketball. He came to this school during aperiod when athletics was deemphasized; so therewas very little recognition he could expect from it.He was told his first year that physically he lackedthe necessary requirements as compared to his oppo- nents; so it was not that he had such a great talentand knew it. He was surrounded by a losing team;so that there must have been a great many depress­ing, and not very satisfactory moments during theyears. But he did it anyway, and this year Billy Les­ter was the mainstay of the team, scoring above 400points during this, a losing season.William Lester did receive honor: an AlumniDean's Award, membership in Iron Mask. His per­sonal qualifications were at least of importance inreceiving the membership into Iron Mask and hisoffice of treasurer in that organization. He is verymuch liked on this campus, and more than that re­spected. Very much a gentleman, seemingly shy,seemingly unaffected by what he has accomplished,his friends, coaches, and reputation point to the factthat this is a person (and the only one so far as wecan see) who deserves this Man of the Year title.This title means very little in actuality. We can offerhim nothing in the way of honoring him and thisseems a sad thing. Yet where is the need for honor­ing this person? He already has one of the finest andperhaps only important honors he can get, and willfill any need by simply veing and doing those thingsthat make up this one honor. The name of thehonor: William Lester.185"One swallow does not asummer make."Bk.
