With the spring quarter, then,the "Kimpton Era" became, as the Maroon redundantlyobserved, "a fixed time period, bound by dates at bothends."Though reportedly under consideration for a numberof months, the action came as a surprise to trustees,faculty, students, and press. Their expressions of shock,amazement, disappointment, and, in some quarters, re­lief have been adequately chronicled elsewhere. Similar­ly, reviews of Kimpton's reign as well as evaluations ofit are better left to more formal and olympian publica­tions. Whether he is ultimately deemed to have led theUniversity through an interlude of progress or regres­sion, of true accomplishment or superficial englistening,it is certain that he will be remembered as a man of pur­pose, accomplishment, and sincerity. The words andpictures of the day of resignation enforce this conclu­sion ....7"Every era of the University has its special problemsand when I became Chancellor I found some whichrequired priority of consideration."In common with other urban univertities, the Uni­versity of Chicago was confronted with the problem ofencroaching blight. If the University was to exist, thatthreat had to be removed. It has been removed, andwe now have assurance of a stable community in whichthe University will have the environment essential toits life and activities."Another goal I set myself was to stabilize the finan­cial affairs of the University. This involved bringingits annual budgets into close balance even while in­creasing faculty salaries and it also required substantialadditions to our capital funds for endowment and ex­pansion of our physical plant."The campaign of 1955-58 and the activity it en­gendered led to the addition of large sums to our en­dowment, a real increase in the level of our facultysalaries, and a needed expansion in our physical facili­ties. Our budget for the year 1960-61 is in balance."Nine years ago our professional schools, with thebrilliant exception of Medicine, demanded improve­ment. The rise of the Law School and of the GraduateSchool of Business has been spectacular. There hasbeen a solid strengthening of the School of SocialService Administration and the Federated TheologicalFaculty. We have added the Graduate School of Edu­cation so that the University can meet its obligationsto the primary and secondary school systems of thecountry."Our college had the best-conceived undergraduateeducation in the country, but its lack of articulationwith the basic structure of American education hadcreated a number of difficulties. It also tended to beisolated from the rest of the University. The Collegehas been reorganized in a series of gradual steps, sothat it is better related within and without the Univer- sity, without sacrifice of its unique educational ele­ments."The four divisions of the University, in which ourresearch and graduate training are centered, werestrong in 1951 and they are strong today. The Univer­sity has continued to attract and encourage the bestscholars and scientists by paying them well, providingthem with excellent facilities, and maintaining the Uni­versity'S unrivalled spirit of freedom."I am proud of this record and I am deeply gratefulthat I was given the opportunity nine years ago toundertake the leadership of this University. No otherUniversity in the country has our combination of aboard of trustees that is so courageous, cooperative,and academically concerned; a faculty who deeply be­lieve in the University's destiny; and a loyal and intel­ligent alumni body. lowe a deep debt also to the peopleof the community, who stuck it out with us in goodtimes and in bad.9"Why, then, do I want to resign? My conviction isthat the head of such a university as this one can dohis best work for it within a reasonably short time. TheUniversity every so often requires a change in leaderswho can apply fresh and sharply objective appraisals,and start anew, free of the associations, friendships,and scars of a common struggle."I believe that the history of our University bearsme out in showing the renewed vitality and intensitywhich came with each of my pr=decessors and the newand distinctive contributions they were able to makethrough the direction they gave the University."This is the more understandable-and this is nota complaint-when I remind you that the job is anenormously demanding and exhausting one."Finally, I can only say that, were I not confidentyou could find someone who could do the job from hereon better than I could do it, I would not resign. TheUniversity of Chicago means more to me than I amable to express."10The New College: Two views12Dean Simpson sketches new college philosophyThe object of the New College is simply to providethe best possible Liberal Education.If we confine ourselves to generalities, a Liberal Edu­cation can be easily enough defined. It is a matter ofknowledge, skills, and standards. Opinions about theknowledge which an educated man ought to possess havevaried greatly-some highly educated men would cheer­fully admit to a vast ignorance; but an argument couldbe made for the view that he ought to know a little abouteverything and a lot about something. There is less dis­agreement about the essential skills, which are the ca­pacity to think clearly and to write and speak lucidly.And there is something like unanimity about the stand­ards. An educated man is a civilized being who hassome notion of excellence and some feeling for the needsof his own times. The talented boor, or the creativerecluse, is no exception to this statement: such peopleare either uneducated, or they have forgotten what aliberal education means.To this definition, we may add the observation thatit takes most high school graduates four years to obtainadmittance to "the society of educated men," and thatthe B.A. degree is the usual passport.When we descend from generalities to the opportu­nities offered by a particular institution, we plunge intoa welter of hopes half realized, and of flavors determinedby the folds in the local soil.An undergraduate education at Chicago has alwaysbeen a liberal experience for those who could take ad­vantage of it. The traditions and resources of a greatUniversity can hardly fail to make some impression onan open, eager mind. But the institutional arrangementscan either help or hinder, and we would be less thanhonest if we did not admit that we have suffered froma system of divided control. On the one hand, there wasa College dedicated to a demanding idea of GeneralEducation. On the other hand, there were departmentsoffering elective and specialized courses. The divisionwas such that there were often two streams of under­graduate life, one passing through the College and thendeparting elsewhere with a degree in General Education(whose value was often less apparent to others than itwas to its owner), the second stream entering the de­partments with their eyes on a professional career. Theundergraduate who tried to get the equivalent of a nor­mal B.A. on our own campus often found it a frustratingexperience. His two sets of teachers lived in different worlds and communication between them was far fromeasy.We have now reorganized ourselves. The Idea of Gen­eral Education, as expounded by the Old College, iscordially embraced by the New. General Education,rightly understood, is an indispensable part of LiberalEducation. The program of the first two years in theNew College, with its staff-taught courses, its imagina­tively planned readings, and its small discussion classes,preserves this tradition, and there is probably no collegein the country where a better general education is of­fered. But the privilege of the student to indulge hisown whims among the elective courses, and his rightto get down to his specialization without needless delay,is now safeguarded. If we have learned one thing froma noble experiment in a prescribed General Education,it is the necessity to defend the individual studentagainst the excesses of the planners.Moreover we have ended the system of divided con­trol. For the first time in our history we have a Collegewith full jurisdiction over the whole four-year B.A.,and its faculty is composed, in about equal proportions,of General Educationalists and Departmental Special­ists. May they mix freely and fruitfully! They havemuch to learn from each other, and together they canproduce a Liberal Education which will be the envy ofthe country.So much for the education which goes on in the class­room. But there is a whole range of informal educationwhich depends On the imaginative development of resi­dentiallife, of extra-curricular activities, and of contactswith the wider world of art, letters, and practical achieve­ment. Where the old College was austere, withdrawn,and even provincial, the new can expect to be betterhoused, better balanced, and fully in touch with theworld around it."Liberal," in the old, undogmatic sense which it oncebore, is a good word. It is still the best description of thequality which distinguishes an education for life fromevery inferior substitute. Chicago undergraduates havealways been protected from vocationalism; in the NewCollege they have also been freed from the fetters ofany special philosophy. For a time we separated our­selves from the main stream of humanistic education.We have now rejoined it.ALAN SIMPSONDean of the College13Lowrey looks at spirit of college past, present, futureThe X ew College presents us all-students and facul­ties and that hybrid collection of individuals we looselyterm "central administration"-with hard problems aswell as great opportunities. Can a University whosecentral concerns have always been research and thetraining of graduate students develop the best four-yearundergraduate program in the country? Can we, witha student body noted for its heterogeneity, build up thekind of esprit which marks the student bodies of col­leges such as Reed and Vassar and Swarthmore andGrinnell and Sewanee-colleges which, because of aninsularity of one kind or another, and because of a dedi­cation to "teaching," give their students a sense offocus, oneness, direction? Can we make a new Collegewhich will attract the best potential minds in the coun­try, which will over four years allow talent to maturefaster, go farther, emerge better-trained and better­equipped than it would have had it been put in the seed­bed of Harvard, Stanford, a powerful, moneyed, stateinstitution, or a small residential college?\\' ell, we have resources that no other institution has,and we have a tradition. The tradition is one of being"different." not out of eccentricity, but for very hard­headed reasons. The Old College pioneered because agroup of men here knew most undergraduate educationin America was hag-ridden by allegiance to the formsof the past-and the efficacy of their pioneering is per­haps best shown by the fact that Chicago's "controver­sial ideas" are now accepted by almost all of the greatinstitutions in the country. Under one rubric or an-14 other, most of the principles (and a lot of the materials)developed here are now "standard." And resources?Anyone who has studied or taught in a variety of thecolleges and universities in this country will tell youthat Chicago has always been peculiarly blessed in hav­ing more toughminded, imaginative persons who are notafraid to try new things than any other institution­persons who have shown an amazing capacity for find­ing root problems and working out very practical solu­tions to them. In no other university or college that Iknow is there such a constant interchange of ideas asthere is here, such a vigorous and continuous "cross­polinization" among disciplines. We have a deservedreputation of being disputatious-our enemies call it"cussedness'; and our friends "intellectual ferment."So we are changing things again, and I doubt thatanyone will ever accuse us of imitation as we workout the new system. We will undoubtedly be accused ofa lot of things-and a great many of the accusations,perhaps the most vitriolic ones, will come from insideour own structure. For which we ought to give thanks;that critical attitude is precisely our greatest asset.Free inquiry, free experimentation: as long as we keepthose, we stand an excellent chance of developing some­thing which will bear out the justness of Mr. Jefferson'sremark. "The truth," he said, "can stand by itself."PERRIN H.

Priestly: Turbulent Transfer in the Lower AtmosphereOne of the strange and distressing character­istics of American students, including mostU. of C. students, is their intellectual immatur­ity. They are, as a rule, more mature than theirEuropean peers in the practical aspects of life.When it comes to marriage, child rearing, get­ting a job, and similar matters, American stu­dents are more mature than European or Asianstudents. But intellectually they are more im­mature. This manifests itself in their inabilityto devise their own programs, their strong needfor guidance, their lack of adventuresome nessin the selection of courses. They prefer the"safe," prescribed programs to striking out forthemselves, the rehash of well-worn curriculato imaginative new combinations. This maymake good sense from a vocational standpoint,but it is not likely to create soon a dedicatedassociation of scholars, and for this reason thereally creative scholar is likely to remain amaverick in American society.Bert F.

An impressive array of prominent peopletook part in the seven dedicatory conferences and lectures; amongthem: Earl Warren, Dag Hammarskjold, Richard Nixon, Nelson Rock­efeller, seven Nobel Peace Prizewinners, and Mr. Hutchins.an ex-Chancellor returns and gives a speechI POWER AND RESPONSIBILITYbyROBERT M. HUTCHINSDelivered November 18, 1959 as part of the Sec­ond Dedicatory Conference of the new law build­ings.On being invited to address this distinguished audienceon the subject of Power and Responsibility, I turnedfirst, of course, to the Encyclopaedia Britannica. I foundthat there was no article on Responsibility and that theone on Power begins. "The word 'power,' as used bythe engineer .... "Eager, as always, to stretch my mind, I took up theSyntopicon, only to discover that neither Power norResponsibility is one of the Great Ideas.Since the Encyclopaedia Britannica is described onthe title page, which bears the imprimatur of this Uni­versity, as a New Survey of Universal Knowledge, wemust conclude that nothing is known of Power or Re­sponsibility. Since the Syntopicon is the Social Registerof ideas, we must conclude that Power and Responsibil­ity have not yet "arrived." How is it possible to havea symposium about matters of which we are totallyignorant, which may not exist, and which, if they doexist, have a low or insignificant status?If you ask why I accepted this invitation when I hadbeen assured on the highest authority that the subjectwas trivial or irrelevant, the answer is that my motive27was unworthy. I wanted to bask in the reflected gloryof my old friends, the Dean and Faculty of this Lawschool. They include my teachers, my fellow students,and my colleagues at the Yale Law school, and my stu­dents and colleagues here. I am bound to them by tiesof obligation and affection that run back in some casesforty years. I knew them in their days of poverty andstruggle. I am happy to salute them as they enter upona new era of Gracious Living.In order not to be altogether derelict on this occasion.I must build up the subject you have selected into onethat is worthy of your attention. I was relieved to find,through further research, that Britannica and the Syn­topicon were entirely right. Neither of the ideas in thetitle of this symposium is very interesting in itself. Re­sponsibility cannot exist without power. And power, byitself, is simply an inconvenient fact of life. A. A. Berle,Jr., in his new book, Power Without Property, observesthat almost nothing has been written about power. And28 Professor McKeon in his authoritative paper, makes,the same remark about responsibility, adding that it isa comparative parvenu, born in 1787.These two ideas, or words, impress us only in com­bination. In combination they lead us into all the majorlegal and political problems of the West. The legal andpolitical history of the West may be seen as the effortto make power responsible. The problem of power andresponsibility is identical with that of a free and justsociety. Freedom implies power of some kind, and jus­tice implies responsibility.The American tradition is the tradition of dispersingpower and trusting to luck, or to the Invisible Hand,to produce responsibility. From James Madison to Rein­hold Niebuhr the notion has been that salvation lies inhaving many contending centers of power. The Feder­alist #10 finds safety from factions in having a greatmany of them, fighting over a large territory. In thelatest pamphlet published by the Center for the Studyof Democratic Institutions, Mr. Niebuhr, referring tothe corporation and the labor union, said, "What healthwe have is due to the fact that these dubious sovereign­ties balance one another." Mr. Niebuhr went on to dealwith the function of government as follows: "It is onlythe purpose of government to see to it that the over-allpurposes are fulfilled within the terms of the spon­taneous desires, motives, etc. of all the centers of power.This is the new liberalism as against the old liberalism.The old liberalism assumed that spontaneity, free enter­prise, free market, all contributed to the general welfare.We know that is not true. We know there must bechecks and balances. The government, if it finds onecenter of power is too strong, must raise up another cen­ter of power in the interest of justice."There is something unsatisfactory in the notion thatthe whole matter of power and responsibility, freedomand justice, is going to be solved because the centersof power will balance one another and that the role ofgovernment is simply to see to it that the supply of suchcenters is adequate.In order to have any confidence that if enough centersof power contend they will make one another responsibleand give us a just society, we must attribute to Provi­dence a greater interest in the welfare of the Americanpeople than either our history or our merits would seemto justify. My purpose this morning is to suggest the pos­sibility that we as a people, as a community learningtogether, might learn how to assume conscious controlof our destiny.In considering this possibility, one of the grossesterrors we can make is to assume that we have exhaustedour intelligence and imagination, that is, our capacityfor learning. The fact is that we have hardly everexerted it because we never had to. To say, for example,that there is something inherently degrading and cor­rupt about American politics and that therefore govern­ment must govern as little as possible is to overlook thefact that governments have been transformed becausecommunities have learned to make them responsible.Nobody living in Sir Robert Walpole's day could haveimagined that in 1 SO years the British would be settingstandards of honesty in public administration for theworld. It will not escape our notice, I hope, that thistransformation was accompanied, and in some degreecaused, by the reformation of the British universities.If a society is to be free and just, all power in it mustbe made responsible. This means that all power mustbe brought to the test of reason. The obvious way ofdoing this is through the law. It is no answer to say thatsome laws are unreasonable. Of course they are. Butthe law is still what Dr. Johnson said it was, "the lastresult of human wisdom acting upon human experiencefor the benefit of the public." We have been preoccupiedsince Machiavelli with social physics-politics is whogets what and how and the law is what the courts willdo-but the law is still a work of reason. If it is not,then perhaps I may be permitted to say, in an ad hominenkind of way, that this school has no claim to be a partof a intellectual institution. To borrow a phrase from an unpublished paper byBertrand de Jouvenel, the law is the method by whichpotentia becomes poiestan, by which power becomes au­thority, by which it acquires legitimacy in its possessionand is constrained to reasonableness in its exercise. Officemeans duty.This idea is familiar enough. In fact the deepest con­stitutional conviction that we have is that governmentalpower must be made responsible. When the Constitu­tion was framed, government and the individual werethe only two entities in society. Government was the onewith the power. Now other centers of power may havea more direct and drastic effect on the individual andon the life of the country than any 18th Century govern­ment could have hoped to have. This raises new con­stitutional questions.As Arthur S. Miller has said in a paper about to bepublished by the Center for the Study of DemocraticInstitutions, "Whenever any organization or group per­forms a function of a sufficiently important nature, itcan be said to be performing a governmental functionand thus should have its actions considered against thebroad provisions of the Constitution. In the racial cove­nant cases, the white primary cases, and the companytown cases, the Court has shown that the concept ofprivate action must yield to a conception of state actionwhere public functions are being performed .... Withthe continuing pluralizing of American society and theincreasing recognition of the governmental power ofprivate groups, it can be forecast with some certaintythat the trend of the Court in 'public-izing' privategroups will continue. It should become the importantconstitutional law development of the mid-twentiethcentury."Mr. Miller ends his essay with these words: "Thestudy of constitutional law today should include notonly what governments can and cannot do, but also whatthey must do." But if governments must do more thanthey did, the task of making governmental power re­sponsible is back with us in new and disturbing forms. AUnited States senator remarked in my presence theother day that Congress was ceasing to be a legislativebody. If it brought power to the test of reason at all,it did so not by making laws but by holding hearings.U sing the example of military expenditures, he said thatif Congress increased them, the Administration wouldimpound the money. If Congress reduced them, the Ad­ministration would reschedule its purchases. Bureauc­racy in government and in political parties and the com­plexity of the operations of government, present andproposed mean that the constitutional theory of respon­sible government requires the most thoroughgoing re­examination. We might learn something about political29parties and public corporations from England, some­thing about making the bureaucracy responsible fromthe C onseil d'Etat in France, and from Western Ger­many something about how government may help makeprivate economic power responsible through internalparticipation rather than external control.We cannot assume that if something must be done tomake private power responsible the government mustdo it. The alternatives are not as we usually seem tothink they are, between governmental control and lettingprivate power run wild until its flamboyance is checkedby collision with other private powers. There are otherways of bringing power to the test of reason, ways thatmay do more to preserve the vitality and spontaneity ofindividuals and groups than the law can do. The lawis general, and it is coercive. It is, therefore, a ratherblunt instrument.Mr. Berle appeals to what he calls the "Public con­sensus." He says, "Does this inchoate public consensushave any relation to settled law? The answer must bethat it does include settled principles of law. But it alsoincludes capacity to criticize that law. From time totime it may demand changes in existing law."Mr. BerIe finds the public consensus formed andrepresented by the influence of leading businessmen and"the conclusions of careful university professors, thereasoned opinions of specialists, the statements of re-30 sponsible journalists, and at times the solid pronounce­ments of respected politicians." He goes on to say,"These and men like them are thus the real tribunal to, ,which the American system is finally accountable. Takentogether, this group, so long as its members are able tocommunicate their views, becomes the forum of account­ability for the holding and use of economic power. Col­lectively they are the developers of public consensus, themen first sought to guide the formation of public opinionto any given application."At first blush it would seem that if economic power isnow responsible to this tribunal, we do not need to con­cern ourselves very much with making economic powerresponsible. This tribunal exists. And though its mem­bers may have some little difficulty from time to timecommunicating their views, they are always in session,and always, presumably, engaged in holding Americanbusiness responsible.The consensus, we are told, is always ahead of the law,but some of its principles are well enough defined to becalled inchoate law. The consequences of the violationof these standards may be serious. One result, Mr. Berlesays, may be that "the standards set up by the consensuswill suddenly be made into explicit law in case of abuseof power." Mr. BerIe points to a wide range of issues onwhich businessmen are likely to find themselves introuble if they do things which, though now thought tobe legally permissable, violate the standards set up bythe public consensus.We are well acquainted with the notion that the insti­tutions of this country operate within limits set by pub­lic opinion. The flourishing trade of public relations isa testimony to this fact. Presumably there are, and al­ways will be, leaders of public opinion. It may be thatsome of them are the kind of people that Mr. Berleappoints to the tribunal to which American business isaccountable. Some doubt is cast on his selections, at leastas far as Southern California is concerned, by a state­ment of Professor Gilbert Brighouse of Occidental col­lege that appeared in the Los Angeles Times on October28. Mr. Brighouse said that neither intelligence, honesty,industry, nor loyalty was necessary for business leader­ship. He said, "One of the greatest leaders in SouthernCalifornia, for instance, is an imbecile. But, when theyreally need something done, this is the man they go to."But let us assume that the tribunal exists, no matterwho its members are. Mr. Berle may be right in sayingthat businessmen had better watch out for it. But itmust be admitted that today this tribunal is workingrather erratically. Its operation, in practice, is as in­explicable and unreliable as that of the Invisible Hand.In the fields with which I am more familiar than I amwith business no such tribunal appears to exists, or, ifit exists, it is totally ineffective. Nothing appears to in­fluence our educational institutions, nothing, that is,except money. I see no inchoate law that they are obey­ing. I see none that the media of mass communicationobey. If they had been obeying the most elementary ruleof inchoate law-don't cheat-the quiz show scandalscould not have occurred. And I am prepared to wagerthat the corporate interests that control television willnot be penalized through having inchoate law becomeexplicit law. It is significant that the law proposed byMr. Kintner of NBC is one that would cause the com­panies little inconvenience.I raise the question whether our institutions are equalto the task of developing public consensus, inchoate law,or law. I see no grounds for optimism in the presentoperation of the public consensus or of the loose, infor­mal unorganized tribunals that are said to form andrepresent it. What we need is criticism. The issue iswhether the kind of spontaneous, sporadic, uninstitu­tionalized criticism with which we have always beenfamiliar, which adds up to the voices of unrelated soloistssinging in different keys, or even singing different pieces,is adequate in our present society to bring power to thetest of reason.We should be able to look to the universities, thepress, and the professional associations. They do notseem to be in the best of health. The universities havebecome folk institutions, reflecting, rather than criticiz­ing, the society. They are now dedicated to chaperonage,vocational certification, and specialized research. Themedia of communication are not critical of practicesupon which they think their prosperity depends. Theprofessional associations, even in what used to be calledthe learned professions, have tended to look like thepropaganda divisions of pressure groups. I suggest thatif we are going to learn how to make power responsiblethrough criticism we are going to have to find out how to make the institutions of criticism responsible.Although I see few signs that the universities, themedia of communication, and the professional associa­tions are interested in becoming centers of independentcriticism, there are some indications that we may even­tually develop new institutions for the purpose. Therecommendation of the Commission on the Freedom ofthe Press that a continuing agency be established toappraise the performance of the media is being activelydebated. Senator John Sherman Cooper has introduceda bill calling for a national advisory council on educa­tion. At a recent meeting of the Consultants to the Cen­ter for the Study of Democratic Institutions, at whichboth Mr. Berle and Mr. Niebuhr were present, therewas unanimous agreement upon the need for a newbody, a new organ of criticism, to assist in the moresystematic development of the public consensus with re­gard to the economic order. There are some stirringsamong scientists, engineers, and medical men that maygive us some hope that these professions may ultimatelytry to give some reasonable direction to the greatest irre­sponsible power at large in the world, the power of tech­nology. If we as a people are to assume conscious controlof our destiny, we shall have to learn how to take con­scious control of this power, which now rules us with atyranny so familiar and so absolute that we docilelyfollow in its wake, whereever it leads, and seem preparedto obey all its commands, including the command to com­mit suicide.We have a new society and a new world. Old slogansand obsolescent institutions adapted to different daysare blind guides through the present crisis. The clarifica­tion of the issues of power and responsibility, of freedomand justice, calls for all the intelligence and imaginationwe can muster.

The Chancellor proved to be a gra­cious host and a thoughtful conversationalist. Neithervoluble nor taciturn, he spoke with casual deliberation.He apparently made a sincere effort to answer everyquestion, but at times our reporter felt that his answerswere somewhat evasive.Q: What do you do Mr. Kimpton? What is yourjob?LAK: Let me use a Socratic image to answer that. I'mthe midwife of the University. I help solve theadministrative problems which any institutionthis size has. I'm responsible for Argonne. Ifsomeone in the Social Sciences department leaves,that's my worry. If a student commits suicide,that also becomes one of my problems.Q: Then what do the trustees do?LAK: The trustees own this university. If they wantedto, they could close it tomorrow. Every majoradministrative innovation is approved by theboard of trustees.Q: Who are the trustees?LAK: The trustees are simply the outstanding men ofthis community.Q: Will UC remain research orientated?LAK : Yes. This university has been and will remain re­search orientated. In fact, the college was a kindof afterthought. The real problem is the improve­ment of teaching at the undergraduate level. Q: Some, for instance Meyer Eisenberg, feel thatthe quality of teaching in the college will belowered by the requirement that instructors inthe college do research.LAK: There will, of course, remain a difference in em­phasis. The major emphasis in the college will stillbe on teaching, in the departments on research.But a good teacher must do research in his fieldin order to remain a good teacher. Benson Ginz­berg, for instance, was active in research whilehe was teaching undergraduate courses.Q: Isn't UC notorious for its student-faculty segre­gation?LAK: No, I think that there is a rift between the stu­dent body and the faculty at most great univer­sities. But it is a problem. When I was Dean ofStudents, the housing personnel was composedof faculty members, but it was impossible to keepthem.Q: Where is UC going?LAK: A great university does not go anywhere. It is.I hope that we will become an institution with anundergraduate body of about 5000 students andour present number of graduate students. We willremain a research institution.Q: Is the student body changing?LAK: No. I would begin to worry if our students wereless qualified academically. So in essentials, ourstudent body will remain the same.Q: Is football coming back?LAK: I would be in favor of its return if it played itsproper role.35UC's Darwin Centennial Celebrationattracts scholars and students,Prominent among the participants were Sir Charles Galton Darwin,grandson of the man being celebrated, Dr. H. J. Muller, Nobel prize­winner, and Sir Julian Huxley, visiting Professor at the University.MULLER HUXLEYInspires papers and discussionThe purpose of the Darwin Centennial was to co­memo rate the publication of The Origin oj Species.Since The Origin oj S pecics was a most significant sci­entific achievement which went far towards liberatingthe mind, a celebration worthy of it should itself be aneducational and scientific achievement. This was ourhope.It was made a scientific event by bringing togethera wide variety of scientists and asking them to bringto bear their special disciplines on the subject of evolu­tion. For the first time the whole range of relevantsciences focused on a single broad subject. These schol­ars wrote papers in advance and exchanged them. Hav­ing thus learned something of each other's mind, theymet together to compare notes and to discuss theirdifferences. It was a contribution to public education because thescientists discussed the issues before a public that in­cluded not only an audience brought to the Universityfrom all over the world, but representatives of news­papers, magazines, radio, television, and motion pic­tures, who would carry the story to all. It was becauseit was public and educational that the men of differentspecialties were compelled to speak also to one anotherand to come to some conclusions. The result was quitepossibly a new integration of the social and culturalwith the biological that will give us a fresh start for thesecond hundred years.SOL TAXChairman: Darwin CentennialCommittee37The opening curtain reveals a Hal Haydon set, Win Stracke (on steps),and the able bodied crew of the Beagle dancing a hornpipe.Darwin IS memorialized In song and danceOpening night tension is evident as choral direc­lor Roland Bailey hums score to sound engineerin Mandel Hall basement.Students gathered at the British Museum react to lecturers Otto Schles­inger (left) and John P.

We participants who are assembledhere, some of us from the remotest parts of the globe, by themagnificently intelligent enterprise of the University of Chi­cago, include representatives of astronomy, physics and chem­istry; of zoology, botany and paleontology; of physiology, ecol­ogy, and ethnology; of psychology, anthropology and sociology.41We have all been asked to contribute an account ofour knowledge and understanding of evolution in ourspecial fields to the Centennial's common pool, to sub­mit our contributions to the criticism and comments ofour fellow participants in quite other fields, to engagein public discussion of key points in evolutionary theo­ry, and to have our contributions and discussions pub­lished to the world at large.This is one of the first public occasions on which ithas been frankly faced that all aspects of reality aresubject to evolution, from atoms and stars to fish andflowers, from fish and flowers to human societies andvalues-indeed that all reality is a single process ofevolution. And ours is the first period in which we haveacquired sufficient knowledge to begin to see the outlineof this vast process as a whole.42 Our evolutionary vision now includes the discoverythat biological advance exists, and that it takes place ina series of steps or grades, each grade occupied by asuccessful group of animals or plants, each groupsprung from a preexisting one and characterized by anew and improved pattern of organization.Improved organization gives biological advantage.Accordingly the new type becomes a successful or dom­inant group. It spreads and multiplies and differentiatesinto a multiplicity of branches. This new biological suc­cess is usually achieved at the biological expense of theolder dominant group from which it sprang, or whoseplace it has usurped. Thus the rise of the placentalmammals was correlated with the decline of the terres­trial reptiles, and the birds replaced the pterosaurs asdominant in the air.Occasionally, however, when the breakthrough to anew type of organization is also a breakthrough into awholly new environment, the new type may not comeinto competition with the old, and both may continueto coexist in full flourishment. Thus the evolution ofland vertebrates in no way interfered with the continuedsuccess of the sea's dominant group, the teleost bonyfish.The successive patterns of successful organizationare stable patterns: they exemplify continuity, andtend to persist over long periods. Reptiles have re­mained reptiles for a quarter of a billion years: tor­toises, snakes, lizards and crocodiles are all still recog­nizably reptilian, all variations of one organizationaltheme.It is difficult for life to transcend this stability andachieve a new successful organization. That is whybreakthrough to new dominant types are so rare-andalso so important. The reptilian type radiated out intowell over a dozen important groups or orders: but allof them remained within the reptilian framework ex­cept two, which broke through to the new and wonder­fully successful patterns of bird and mammal.In the early stages, a new group, however successfulit will eventually become, is few and feeble and showsno signs of the success it may eventually achieve. Itsbreakthrough is not an instantaneous matter, but has tobe implemented by a series of improvements whicheventually become welded into the new stabilized or­ganization.With mammals, there was first hair, then milk, thenpartial and later full temperature regulation, thenbrief and finally prolonged internal development, withevolution of a placenta. Mammals of a small and insig­nificant sort had <existed and evolved for 100 millionyears or so before they achieved a full breakthrough totheir explosive dominance in the Cenozoic.Something very similar occurred during our ownbreakthrough from mammalian to psychosocial organi­zation. Our pre human ape ancestors were never partic­ularly successful or abundant. For their transformationinto man a series of steps were needed. Descent fromthe trees: erect posture; some enlargement of brain;more carnivorous habits; the use and then the makinzbof tools: further enlargement of brain; the discovery offire; true speech and language; elaboration of tools andrituals. These steps took the better part of half a mil­lion years: it was not until less than a hundred thousandyears ago that man could begin to deserve the title ofdominant type, and not till less than 10,000 years agothat he became fully dominant.After man's emergence as truly man, this same sortof thing continued to happen, but with an importantdifference. Man's evolution is not biological but psycho­social: it operates by the mechanism of cultural tradi­tion, which involves the cumulative self-reproductionand self-variation of mental activities and its products.Accordingly, major steps in the human phase of evolu­tion are achieved by breakthroughs to new dominantpatterns of mental organization, of knowledge, ideasand beliefs-ideological instead of physiological or bio­logical organization.There is a succession of successful idea-systems in­stead of a succession of successful bodily organizations.Each new successful idea-system spreads and dominatessome important sector of the world, until it is super­seded by a rival system, or itself gives birth to its suc­cessor by a breakthrough to a new organization systemof thought and belief. We need only think of the magicpattern of tribal thought, the god-centered medievalpattern organized round the concept of divine authorityand revelation, and the rise in the last three centuries ofthe science-centered pattern, organized round the con­cept of human progress, but progress somehow underthe control of supernatural Authority. In 1859, Darwinopened the door to a new pattern of ideological organi­zation-the evolution-centered organization of thoughtand belief.Through the telescope of our scientific imagination,we can discern the existence of this new and improvedideological organization; but its details are not clear,and we can also see that the necessary steps upward to­ward it are many and hard to take.Let me change the metaphor. To those who did notdeliberately shut their eyes, or who were not allowed tolook, it was at once clear that the fact and concept ofevolution was bound to act as the central germ or livingtemplate of a new dominant thought-organization. Andin the century since The Origin of Species, there havebeen many attempts to understand the implications of evolution in many fields, from the affairs of the stellaruniverse to the affairs of men, and to integrate the factsof evolution and our knowledge of its processes into theoverall organization of our general thought.All dominant thought-organizations are concernedwith the ultimate as well as with the immediate prob­lems of existence: or, I should rather say, with the mostultimate problems that the thought of the time is capa­ble of envisaging or even formulating. They are all con­cerned with giving some interpretation of man, of theworld which he is to live in, and of his place and role inthat world-in other words some comprehensible pic­ture of human destiny and significance.The broad outlines of the new evolutionary pictureof ultimates are beginning to be clearly visible. Man'sdestiny is to be the sole agent for the future evolutionof this planet. He is the highest dominant type to beproduced by over two and a half billion years of thes'ow biological improvement effected by the blind op­portunistic workings of natural selection; if he doesnot destroy himself, he has at least an equal stretch ofevolutionary time before him to exercise his agency.43During the later part of biological evolution, mind­our word for the mental activities and properties of or­ganisms-emerged with greater clarity and intensity,and came to playa more important role in the individ­ual lives of animals. Eventually it broke through, to be­come the basis for further evolution, though the charac­ter of evolution now became cultural instead of geneticor biological. It was to this breakthrough, broughtabout by the automatic mechanism of natural selectionand not by any conscious effort on his own part, thatman owed his dominant evolutionary position.Man therefore is of immense significance. He hasbeen ousted from his self-imagined centrality in theuniverse to an infinitesimal location in a peripheral po­sition in one of a million of galaxies. Nor, it would ap- pear, is he likely to be unique as a sentient. being: Onthe other hand the evolution of mind or sentiency IS anextremely rare' event in the vast meaninglessness of t�einsentient universe and man's particular brand of senti­ency may well be unique, But in any case he is highlysignificant. He is a reminder of the existence, here andthere in the quantitative vastness of cosmic matter andits energy equivalents, of a trend towards mind, with itsaccompaniment of quality and richness of existence;and, what is more, a proof of the importance of mindand quality in the all-embracing evolutionary process.I t is only through possessing a mind that he has be­come the dominant portion of this planet and the agentresponsible for its future evolution; and it will only beby the right use of that mind that he will be able toexercise that responsibility rightly. He could all tooreadily be a failure in the job; he will only succeed ifhe faces it consciously and if he uses all his mental re­sources-knowledge and reason, imagination, sensitiv­ity and moral effort.And he must face it unaided by outside help. - In theevolutionary pattern of thought there is no longer eitherneed or room for the supernatural. The earth was notcreated: it evolved. So did all the animals and plantsthat inhabit it, including our human selves, mind andsoul as well as brain and body. So did religion. Religionsare organs of psychosocial man concerned with humandestiny and with experiences of sacredness and tran­scendence. In their evolution, some (but by no meansall) have given birth to the concept of gods as super­natural beings endowed with mental and spiritual prop­erties and capable of intervening in the affairs of nature,including man. They are organizations of humanthought in its interaction with the puzzling, complexworld with which it has to contend-the outer world ofnature and the inner world of man's own nature. Inthis, they resemble other early organizations of humanthought confronted with nature, like the doctrine of theFour Elements, Earth, Air, Fire and Water, or theEastern concept of rebirth and reincarnation. Likethese, they are destined to disappear in competitionwith other, truer, and more embracing thought-organi­zations which are handling the same range of raw orprocessed experience.Evolutionary man can no longer take refuge from hisloneliness creeping for shelter into the arms of a divi­nized father-figure whom he has himself created, norescape from the responsibility of making decisions bysheltering under the umbrella of Divine Authority, norabsolve himself from the hard task of meeting his pres­ent problems and planning his future by relying on thewill of an omniscient but unfortunately inscrutableProvidence.On the other hand, his loneliness is only apparent.He is not alone as a type. Thanks to the astronomers ,he now knows that he is one among the many organismsthat bear witness to the trend towards sentience mind,and richness of being, operating so wisely but so sparse­ly in the cosmos. More important, thanks to Darwin, henow knows that he is not an isolated phenomenon, cutoff from the rest of nature by his uniqueness. Not onlyis he made of the same matter and operated by the sameenergy as all the rest of the cosmos, but for all his dis­tinctiveness, he is linked by genetic continuity with allthe other living inhabitants of his planet. Animals,plants and micro-organisms, they are all his cousins orremoter kin, all parts of one single evolving flow ofmetabolizing protoplasm.Nor is he individually alone, in his thinking. Heexists and has his being, in the intangible sea of thoughtwhich Teilhard de Chardin has christened the no­osphere there are, for his taking, the daring speculationsand aspiring ideals of man long dead, the organizedknowledge of science, the hoary wisdom of the ancients,the creative imaginings of all the world's poets andartists. And in his own nature there are, waiting to becalled upon, an array of potential helpers-all the pos­sibilities of wonder and knowledge, of delight and rev­erence, of creative belief and moral purpose, of passion­ate effort and embracing love.Turning the eye of an evolutionary biologist on thesituation, I would compare the present stage of evolv­ing man to the geological moment, some three hundredmillion years ago, when our amphibian ancestors werejust establishing themselves out of the world of water.They had created a bridgehead into a wholly new en­vironment-no longer buoyed up by water, they had tolearn how to support their own weight; debarred fromswimming with the muscular tail, they had to learn tocrawl with clumsy limbs.The newly discovered realm of air gave them directaccess to the oxygen they needed to breathe, but it alsothreatened their moist bodies with desiccation. Andthough they managed to make do on land during theiradult lives, they found themselves still compulsorilyfishy during the early stages of their life.On the other hand, they had emerged into completelynew freedom. As fish, they had been confined below abounding surface. Now the air above them expandedout into the infinity of space. Now they were free of the banquet of small creatures prepared by the previoushundred billion years of life's terrestrial evolution. Theearth's land surface provided a greater variety of oppor­tunity than did its waters, and above all a much greaterrange of challenge to evolving life. Could the earlyStegocephalians have been gifted with imagination,they might have seen before them the possibility ofwalking, running, perhaps even flying over the earth;the probability of their descendants escaping frombondage to winter cold by regulating their temperature,escaping from bondage to the waters by constructingprivate ponds for their early development; the inevita­bility of an upsurge of their dim minds to new levels ofclarity and performance. But meanwhile they wouldsee themselves tied to an ambiguous existence, neitherone thing nor the other, on the narrow moist margin be­tween water and air. They could have seen the promisedland afar off, though but dimly through their blearynewtish eyes. But they would also have seen that, toreach it, they would have to achieve many difficult andarduous transformations of their being and way of life.So with ourselves. We have only recently emergedfrom the biological to the psychosocial area of evolu­tion, from the earthy biosphere into the freedom ofthe noosphere, Do not let us forget how recently: wehave been truly men for perhaps a tenth of a millionyears-one tick of evolution's clock: even as proto-men,we have existed for under one million years-less thana two-thousandth fraction of evolutionary time. Nolonger supported and steered by a framework of in­stincts, we try to use our conscious thoughts and pur­poses as organs of psychosocial locomotion and direc­tion through the tangles of our existence; but so farwith only moderate success, and with the production ofmuch evil and horror as well as of some beauty andglory of achievement. We too have colonized only anambiguous margin between an old bounded environ­ment and the new territories of freedom. Our feet stilldrag in the biological mud, even when we lift our headsinto the conscious air. But unlike those remote ances­tors of ours, we can truly see something of the promisedland beyond. We can do so with the aid of our new in­strument of vision-our rational, knowledge-basedimagination. Like the earliest pre-Galilean telescopes, itis still a very primitive instrument, and gives a feebleand often distorted view. But, like the early telescopes,it is capable of immense improvement, and could revealmany secrets of our noospheric home and destiny.Xl eanwhile no mental telescope is required to see theimmediate evolutionary landscape, and the frighteningproblems which inhabit it. All that is needed-but thatis plenty-is for us to cease being intellectual and moralostriches, and take our heads out of the sand of wilfulblindness. If we do so, we shall soon see that the alarm­ing problems are two-faced, and are also stimulatingchallenges.What are those alarming monsters in our evolution­ary path? I would list them as follows. The threat ofsuper-scientific war, nuclear, chemical, and biological;the threat of over-population; the rise and appeal ofCommunist ideology, especially in the under-privilegedsectors of the world's people; the failure to bring China,with nearly a quarter of the world's population, into theworld organization of the United Nations; the erosionof the world's cultural variety; our general preoccupa­tion with means rather than ends, with technology andquantity rather than creativity and quality; and theRevolution of Expectation, caused by the widening gap between the haves and the have-nots, between the richand the poor nations.Today is Thanksgiving Day. But millions of people,now living, have little cause to give thanks for anything.When I was in India this spring, a Hindu man wasarrested for the murder of his small son. He explainedthat his life was so miserable that he had killed the boyas a sacrifice to the goddess Kali, in the hope that shewould help him in return. That is an extreme case, butlet us remember that two-thirds of the world's peopleare under-privileged-under-fed, under-healthy, under­educated-and that millions of them live in squalor andsuffering. They have little to be thankful for save hopethat they will be helped to escape from this misery. Ifwe in the West do not give them aid, they will look toother systems for help-or even turn from hope to de­structive despair.We attempt to deal with these problems piecemeal,often half-heartedly; sometimes, as with population,we refuse to recognize it officially as a World Problem(just as we refuse to recognize Communist China as aWorld Power).In reality, they are not separate monsters to be dealtwith by a series of separate ventures, however heroic orsaintly. They are all symptoms of a new evolutionarysituation; and this can only be successfully met in thelight and with the aid of a new organization of thoughtand belief, a new dominant pattern of ideas.It is hard to break through the firm framework of anaccepted belief-system, and build new and complex suc­cessors, but it is necessary. It is necessary to organizeour ad hoc ideas and scattered values into a unitive pat­tern, transcending conflicts and divisions in its unitaryweb. Only by such a reconciliation of opposites anddisparates can our belief-system release us from innerconflicts: only so can we gain that peaceful assurancewhich will help unlock our energies for development instrenuous practical action.Somehow or other we must make our new pattern ofthinking evolution-centered. It can give us assuranceby reminding us of our long evolutionary rise; how thiswas also, strangely and wonderfully, the rise of mind;and how that rise culminated in the eruption of mind asthe dominant factor in evolution and led to Our ownspectacular but precarious evolutionary success. It cangive us hope by pointing to the eons of evolutionarytime that lie ahead of our species if it does not destroyitself or damage its own chances; by recalling how theincrease of man's understanding and the improved or­ganization of knowledge has in fact enabled him tomake a whole series of advances, such as control of in­fectious disease or efficiency of telecommunication, andto transcend a whole set of apparently unbridgeable op­positions, like the conflict between Islam and Christen­dom, or that between the seven kingdoms of the Hep­tarchy ; and by reminding us of the vast stores of hu­man possibility-of intelligence, imagination, coopera­tive goodwill-which still remain untapped.Our new organization of thought-belief-system,framework of values, ideology, call it what you will­must grow and be developed in the light of our newevolutionary vision. So, in the first place, it must ofcourse itself be evolutionary. That is to say-it musthelp us to think in terms of an overriding process ofchange, development, and possible improvement, tohave our eyes on the future rather than on the past, tofind support in the growing body of our knowledge, notin fixed dogma or ancient authority. Equally, of course,the evolutionary outlook must be scientific, not in thesense that it rejects or neglects other human activities,but in believing in the value of the scientific method foreliciting knowledge from ignorance and truth fromerror and basing itself on the firm ground of scientifi­cally established knowledge. Unlike most theologies, itaccepts the inevitability and indeed the desirability ofchange, and advances by welcoming new discovery evenwhen it conflicts with old ways of thinking.The only way in which the present split between reli­gion and science could be mended would be through theacceptance by science of the fact and value of religionas an organ of evolving man, and the acceptance byreligion that religions do and must evolve.Next, the evolutionary outlook must be global. Manis strong and successful in so far as he operates ininter-thinking groups, which are able to pool theirknowledge and beliefs. To have any success in fulfillinghis destiny as the controller or agent of future evolutionon earth, he must become one single inter-thinking group, with one general framework of ideas: otherwisehis mental energies will be dissipated in ideological con­flict. Science gives us a foretaste of what could be. It isalready global, with scientists of every nation contrib­uting to its advance: and because it is global, it is ad­vancing fast. In every field, we must aim to transcendnationalism: and the first step towards this is to thinkglobally-how could this or that task be achieved by in­ternational cooperation rather than by separate action?But our thinking must also be concerned with the in­dividual. The well-developed well-patterned individualhuman being is, in a strictly scientific sense, the highestphenomenon of which we have any knowledge; and thevariety of individual personalities is the world's highestrichness.47In the light of the evolutionary vision the individualneed not feel just a meaningless cog in the social ma­chine, nor merely the helpless prey and sport of vastimpersonal forces. He can do something to develop hisown personality, to discover his own talent possibilities,to interact personally and fruitfully with other individ­uals. He has assurance of his own significance. If so, inhis own person he is effecting an important realizationof evolutionary possibility: he is contributing his ownsignificance in the vaster and more enduring whole ofwhich he is a part.I spoke of quality. This must be the dominant con­cept of our belief-system-quality and richness asagainst quantity and uniformity.Though our new idea-pattern must be unitary, itneed not and should not impose a drab or boring cul­tural uniformity. An organized system, whether ofthought, expression, social life or anything else, hasboth unity and richness. Cultural variety, both in theworld as a whole and within its separate countries, isthe spice of life. Yet it is being threatened and indeederoded away by mass-production, mass-communica­tions, mass conformity, and all the other forces makingfor uniformization-an ugly word for an ugly thing! Wehave to work hard to preserve and foster it.One sphere where individual variety could and shouldbe encouraged is education. In many school systems,under the pretext of so-called democratic equality, vari­ety of gifts and capacity is now actually being discour­aged. The duller children become frustrated by beingrushed too fast, the brighter become frustrated by beingheld back and bored.Our now idea-system must jettison the democraticmyth of equality. Human being are not born equal ingifts or potentialities, and human progress steps largelyfrom the very fact of their inequality. "Free but un­equal" should be our motto, and diversity of excellence,not conforming normalcy or mere adjustment, shouldbe the aim of education.Population is people in the mass; and it is in regardto population that the most drastic reversal or reorienta­tion of our thinking has become necessary. The unpre­cedented population-explosion of the last half-centuryhas strikingly exemplified the Marxist principle of thepassage of quantity into quality. Mere increase in quan­tity of people is increasingly affecting the quality oftheir lives, and affecting it almost wholly for the worse.Population-increase is already destroying or erodingmany of the world's resources, both those for materialsubsistence and those-equally essential but often neg­lected-for human enjoyment and fulfillment. Early inman's history the injunction to increase and multiplywas right. Today it is wrong, and to obey it will be48 disastrous. The Western World, and the United Statesin particular, has to achieve the difficult task of revers­ing the direction of its thought about population. It hasto begin thinking that we should aim not at increase butat decrease-certainly and quickly decrease in the rateof population-growth; and in the long run equally cer­tainly, decrease in the absolute number of people in theworld, including our own countries.The spectacle of explosive population-increase isprompting us to ask the simple but basic question, whatare people jar? And we see that the answer has some­thing to do with their quality as human beings, and thequality of their lives and achievements.We must make the same reversal of ideas about oureconomic system. At the moment (and again I take theUnited States as most representative) our Western eco­nomic system (which is invading new regions) is basedon expanding production for profit, and production forprofit is based on expanding consumption. As onewriter has put it, the American economy depends onpersuading more people to believe that they want toconsume more products.But, like the population-explosion, this consumption­explosion cannot continue much longer: it is an inher­ently self -defeating process. Sooner rather than laterwe must get away from a system based on artificiallyincreasing the number of human wants, and set aboutconstructing one aimed at the qualitative satisfaction ofreal human needs, spiritual and mental as well as mate­rial and physiological.This means abandoning the pernicious habit of evalu­ating every human project solely in terms of its utility-by which the evaluators mean solely its material util­ity, and especially its utility in making a profit forsomebody.Once we truly believe (and true belief, however nec­essary, is rarely easy) once we truly believe that man'sdestiny is to make possible greater fulfilment for morehuman beings and fuller achievement by human soci­eties, utility in the customary sense becomes subordi­nate. Quantity of material production is of course nee-, ,essary as the basis for the satisfaction of elementaryhuman needs-but only up to a certain degree. Morethan a certain number of calories or cocktails or T.V.sets or washing machines per person, is not merely un­necessary but bad. Quantity of material production is ameans to a futher end, not an end in itself.The important ends of man's life include the creationand enjoyment of beauty, both natural and man-made;increased comprehension and a more assured sense ofsignificance; the preservation of all sources of purewonder and delight, like fine scenery, wild animals infreedom, or unspoiled nature; the attainment of innerpeace and harmony; the feeling of active participationin embracing and enduring projects, including the cos­mic project of evolution. It is through such things thatindividuals attain greater fulfilment.As for nations and societies, they are rememberednot for their wealth or comforts or technologies, butfor their great buildings and works of art, their achieve­ments in science or law or political philosophy, theirsuccess in liberating human thought from the shacklesof fear and ignorance.Although it is to his mind that man owes both hispresent dominant position in evolution, and any ad­vances he may have made during his tenure of thatposition, he is still strangely ignorant and even super­stitious about it. The exploration of the mind has bare­ly begun. It must be one of the main tasks of the com­ing era, just as was the exploration of the world's sur­face a few centuries ago. Psychological exploration willdoubtless reveal as many surprises as did geographicalexploration, and will make available to our descendentsall kinds of new possibilities of full and richer living.Finally, the evolutionary vision is enabling us to dis- cern, however incompletely, the lineaments of the newreligion that we can be sure will arise to serve the needsof the coming era. Just as stomachs are bodily organsconcerned with digestion, and involving the biochemicalactivity of special juices, so are religions psychosocialorgans concerned with the problems of human destiny,and involving the emotion of sacredness and the senseof right and wrong. Religion of some sort is probablynecessary. But it is not necessary a good thing. It wasnot a good thing when the Hindu I read about thisspring killed his son as a religious sacrifice. It is not agood thing that religious pressure has made it illegal toteach evolution in Tennessee, because it conflicts withFundamentalist beliefs. It is not a good thing that inConnecticut and Massachusetts women should be sub­ject to grievous suffering because Roman Catholic pres­sure refuses to allow even doctors to give informationon birth-control even to non-Catholics. It was not agood thing for Christians to persecute and even burnheretics; it is not a good thing when Communism, in itsdogmatic-religious aspect, persecutes and even executesdeviationists.The emergent religion of the near future could be agood thing. It will believe in knowledge. It will be ableto take advantage of the vast amount of new knowledgeproduced by the knowledge-explosion of the last fewcenturies in constructing what we call its theology­the framework of facts and ideas which provide it withintellectual support: it should be able, with our in­creased knowledge of mind, to define our sense of rightand wrong more clearly so as to provide a better moralsupport, and to focus the feeling of sacredness on fitterobjects. Instead of worshipping supernatural rulers, itwill sanctify the higher manifestations of humannature, in art and love, in intellectual comprehensionand aspiring adoration, and will emphasize the fullerrealization of life's possibilities as a sacred trust.Thus the evolutionary vision, first opened up for usby Charles Darwin a century back, illuminates ourexistence in a simple but almost overwhelming way. Itexemplifies the truth that truth is great and will prevail,and the greater truth that truth will set us free. Evolu­tionary truth frees us from subservient fear of the un­known and supernatural, and exhorts us to face thisnew freedom with courage tempered with wisdom, andhope tempered with knowledge. It shows our destinyand our duty. It shows us mind enthroned above mat­ter, quantity subordinate to quality. It gives ouranxious minds support by revealing the incredible pos­sibilities that have already been realized in evolution'spast; and, by pointing to the hidden treasure of freshpossibilities that could be realized in the future, it givesus a potent incentive for fulfilling our evolutionary role.49Bill Veeck, owner of the Chicago White Sox,gave a talk on the baseball business to prospec­tive baseball stars and czars.A frequent campus visitor is Senator Paul H.Douglas.

Lee Wilcox shows the audience a pleasantvoice and a gold sequined bathing suit as apart of her number.54The student and his activitiesFrom Faculty Revels we break smoothly into studentactivities, not meaning to insinuate song and dance arestudents' main occupations, but there do exist activitiesin which students take part, besides their academic work,that embody those particular actions and are known as"student activities." This is a misnomer. If an attemptwere made to accurately depict student life, the resultwould betray the symptoms of mental disorder. Wedon't imply that the average undergraduate is sick, butthe paces through which he must put himself in satisfy­ing his instructors and his own simple lusts, would out­wardly indicate a mad mixture of frenzy, frustrationand exultation.A student's life often consists of rushing to meetingswith advisors, trying to register or change a course,spending long hours talking while inwardly beratinghimself for not studying, getting hung up reading ma­terial unnecessary to his studies, doing little things ne­cessary to maintain the esteem of people he likes andthe little things necessary to antagonize those he doesn'tlike. Added to this are trips to Student Health over amix-up in names, for example, when someone with asimilar last name comes down with a cold. Besides theother bothers and frustrations of a time consuming na- ture, there are the hours spent not only in studying, buttrying to get in a mood to study. All in all, a picture ofstudent life would be one which only a manic-depressiveschizophrene could appreciate.The student activities represented in the followingsection, however, will be those which are extra-curricu­lar. Sometimes these affairs are a relief from the com­petition and harassment of the classroom, a place wherethe embryonic scholar may compete on an unimportantlevel, and sometimes they seem to be a substitute.The preceeding anthropological view of student acti­vities and student life was intended to lead into a Pla­tonic system by which this section of Cap and Gowncould be organized. The system adequately included allregistered student activities and some of the more sur­repitious ones. Unfortunately, it showed Student Gov­ernment to be the ultimate in student activities and wewere forced to abandon Plato. No other scheme couldbe found that would include everything to be covered,so we decided to let one thing follow another, and oncehaving begun, tumble on through to the end. Since thearrangement of this section is determined purely bywhim and chance, the searcher for complex underlyingstructure is warned not to look too hard or long for thatwhich does not exist.55Student activities at Chicago are generally superiorto their counterparts on other campuses. One of the cri­teria by which student activities might be judged is theamount of importance attached to them. This reaches aculmination in those that are just vestiges of former or­ganizations or images of groups at sister institutions.Cap and Gown is probably the most notable example.Another criteria for judging student activities is theirlevel and variety. In this there are two important con­siderations: the system under which they are run, andthe size of the mother institution. Many groups at vari­ous schools are run as adjuncts to the curriculum, thatis, participants are given credit toward a degree. Obvi­ously this gives the student more time to spend on hiswork in the organization and to that extent raises its level of performance. Also, more students will take partin an activity if, because of their participation, they re­ceive credit toward a degree; therefore the total workdone on any project is greater, and the officers or facultymembers of the body are able to exercise greater selec­tivity in choosing a staff. Both tend to raise the qualityof the production or product. Size of institution also af­fects the number of students working on any extra-curri­cular activity, in turn affecting the labor expended onany endeavor and the selection of a staff.This leads to probably the finest aspect of Chicagostyle student activities: they are all student run. (Ex­cept, of course, for departmental clubs, whose purposeis to increase communication between faculty and stu­dents in the department.) The organizations are a directreflection of the variety of interest of the mean studentand his ability within the limitations of time. A secondimportant aspect of student organizations at Chicago istheir variety and general high level of quality. Theyrange from the Documentary Film Group to UniversityTheatre to the Junior Math Club. In these and manyothers, level of performance and degree of originalityseem to be higher than that of their cousins. ComparePhoenix to its counterparts and only one conclusion canbe reached. The Folklore Society, if not unique, is cer­tainly most unusual. The listing could go on, but theseinstances are typical.Student activities are a product of the school, not onlyin their affiliation, but of that which the school is andinspires in its students. The University of Chicago maynot be the greatest university in the world, but withoutdoubt, something exists besides the intelligence of itsstudents or excellence of its staff, be it called spirit orsomething else, that found its birth in the old College. Itconsists, in part, of an independence of hackneyed formsand a dislike of triteness and corn. One result is experi­mentation in new ideas and areas of interest, which thepermissive attitude of the administration has encouragedto a great degree.The present high level of quality of student activitiescan be preserved and raised if they are nurtured withoutbeing made meretricious, if they are left to mirror stu­dent interest and not forced into a stereotype, and if noincentive is given their members to become campus "so­ciety." Student activities can be (and are here, we be­lieve) a valuable appendage of the curriculum, providinga release for individual creativity, and replacing stateschool type courses such as basketweaving 101. Theycan provide a field of wide experimentation for studentswho are undecided over which department to enter orwhat career pursue. In short, student activities need notbe a synonym of inane, but can and should be a valuableaddition to a university's facilities for providing an edu­cation.57The extra-curriculum at its finest:Subject under discussion: The Method of I.

I, as Dean of Students,must protect the University. Some professional must bedirectly responsible to my office." Thus, John P. Nether­ton erected the latest obstacle to WUCB's going FM.In a slow process over the last years WUCB hassought to build the quality of staff and programming toa point where administration doubts could be quelledand an FM license applied for. This year that point wasreached. With universal consent and good wishes, theFCC was contacted and preparations were made forconversion. As a concession to student-administrationcommunication a board of three faculty members andtwo administrators was set up to advise, but not to legis­late.In April, with the license and FM-dom within reachat last, station manager John Schuerman and programdirector John Kim were informed by Dean Nethertonthat they were amateurs, albeit "in the good sense," andthat running a station for a set number of hours everyday of the year as WUCB has been doing requires, onFM, some degree of professional management; "... thereis not going to be a student-run FM station."The reaction from WUCB staff members was stronglynegative. Kim resigned his post in protest, calling therequirement one of censorship and one contrary to thetraditions of the University. The situation, at publica­tion, is one of disappointment and uncertainty; mostpeople in the University community still can't hearWUCB, but negotiations continue.It has been customary for the Cap and Gown todesignate a man or men of the year. Let these two then,John Schuerman and John Kim, receive that recognitionthis year-a commendation for a job that has been diffi­cult, long, and, perhaps, fruitless-but well done. At the Darwin Centennial.83NSA, NDEA controversiesmingle with local problems in Student GovernmentSG's '59-'60 scoreboard• In early December SG passed a resolution proposingthat the University withdraw from the National De­fense Education act unless the loyalty oath and dis­claimer provisions are removed.Gail Paradise, chairman of the NSA-Academic Free­dom committee and author of the resolution claimedthat 1) there is a danger that their meaning may be ex­panded through interpretation, 2) there is a danger thatthey will lead to more restrictive legislation, 3) it im­plies that a student is disloyal until he makes a positivestatement expressing his loyalty, and 4) refusal to signresults in suspicion of disloyalty.• In January a resolution that UC drop out of the Na­tional Student Association (NSA) was defeated 698 to277. SG President Maureen Byers was, "extremelypleased that the rate was so heavily in favor of NSA.At the same time, I am quite disappointed that the votewas no larger than 171 per cent of the University." How­ever, anti-NSA spokesman Bill Hawkins stated, "I be­lieve that the lack of publicity for the anti-NSA positioncaused the result of this referendum. A majority of 2tto 1 is not very great considering this lack of publicity." • In March SG voted to send $160 to students finedin Nashville, Tennessee, for disorderly conduct duringa non-violent demonstration against racial discrimina­tion in Southern chain department stores. Paul Hoffer(Medical School) made the proposal which requiredthat SG send the $160 to pay for three $50 disorderlyconduct fines imposed upon Negro students and the $10fine of a white student.• Still in discussion in the Executive Council at theCap and Gown publication deadline are projects whichwould liberalize women's hours in dorms and give li­brary privileges to full-time students during the regularacademic year who are in the city during the summer.Passed, but not yet realized, are plans which wouldextend the hours during which athletic facilities maybe used by individuals and set up a student cooperativebook service.

The Court dismissed one ofthe cases because it refused to deliver advisory deci­sions. It has yet to decide whether or not it will everdeliver an advisory decision.Bromberg and Stidd versus Byers and Shelton.Does SG have the right to use funds for purposesother than those directly related to the welfare of UCstudents?Bruce Bromberg and William Sadd, Law School rep­resentatives to the Assembly, originally petitioned theCourt to declare that the meeting at which the Assem­bl; voted to pay the fines of students arrested in Nash­ville, Tennessee, while participating in the "sit-in" civilrights movement was not a legal meeting. They lateramended their petition to include the contention thatthe expenditure itself was unconstitutional. The Courtissued two injunctions restraining Assembly presidentMaureen Byers and treasurer Ron Shelton from releas­ing the funds, and Dean of Students John P. Nethertonprohibited the Assembly from using funds ($150) fromits budget. But the Court ruled 7-1 that SG could sendany money it raised on its own.Bromberg had argued that the constitutional provi­sion stating that "The president or the Executive Coun­cil may call a meeting providing notification is sent toall members" had been violated on two counts since theAssembly had called its own meeting and had not prop­erly notified its members. Sadd declared that the reso­lution to pay the fines was unconstitutional since spend­ing money off campus violates the principle of the firstclause of the Preamble of the Constitution: "In orderto further the interests and provide for the welfare ofthe students at the University of Chicago."Miss Byers' counsel, John Kim, answered that 1)the wording of the constitution ("may call") does notprohibit the Assembly from deciding the time of itsmeeting, 2) notification had been sent (a statement tothat effect from the secretary of the Assembly, BettyWolf, was produced), 3) there were "other powers andduties of the Assembly" and that "it shall provide forits own financing and determine its budget."The Court decided unanimously that the Assemblyhad the right to call the meeting and declared the meet­ing valid in spite of the lack of any clear evidence oneither side. It did, however, decide that Bromberg andSadd were right in stating that notification must besent and criticized SG for its sloppy methods of noti­fication.John Kim representing Student Government faces the Court: DonaldMeiklejohn, faculty, Leon Kass, student, Margaret Perry, adminis­tration, and students Peter Langrock, Roger Bernhardt (chief jus­tice), Phil Epstein, F.

At the core of the decision was the majoritybelief that "in a case such as this, where extremely deli­cate and serious problems of free speech are raised, itwould be foolhardy to spell out fixed rights and limita­tions where there has been such a scarcity of antagonis­tic argument to guide our thinking." But Mr. JusticeKass dissented on the grounds that it was "the obliga­tion of the Court to issue such judgments concerningthe interpretation of any and all points of the Bill ofRights, the Constitution, etc." Immediate rush versus deferred rush in the fraternitysystem.Is the choice between immediate and deferred rush inthe fraternity system a matter wholly internal to thefraternity system or is it University-wide in scope?The S-F-A court in a unanimous decision threw outSG's petition for a ruling on the constitutionality of itsproposed amendment to the Student Code governing fra­ternity pledging. The Assembly contended that the Stu­dent Code could be amended in such a way as to decidethe issue of deferred versus immediate rush. The pro­posed act, whose constitutionality the Court was askedto rule upon, would prohibit fraternities from changingthe present system of rushing first year students in thewinter quarter to one in which they would be rushed inthe fall quarter.I-F council submitted a petition asking the Court todismiss the SG petition without an advisory decision,one of their arguments being that the amendment mustbe passed before being brought to court. S- F -A's dis­missal was in fact based on the grounds that no legis­lation had been passed and therefore any advice givenby the Court could be used in a political way if the billwere again presented.87Max Schactman, prominent socialist leader,seems to be looking through invisible glass dur­ing a talk sponsored by Young People's So­cialist League (YPSL) and University YoungSocialists (UYS).American Civil Liberties Union attorney Mar­shall Patner scorns lectern, sits down duringtalk on brutality in the Chicago police force.The lecture was sponsored by the Student Rep­resentative Party (SRP).Initial-conscious political groups88 hear speakers,stage demonstrationsUC students put down books and pick up posters in a campaign againstSouthern segregated lunch counters.

In discussions on campus the assump­tion that students are intelligent, informed, and prob­ably liberal usually floats in the background, little ques­tioned and wholly unproved.Statistics which prove their intelligence are available,and so well-known that their collection into an argumentwould be a waste of time. However, though the secondand third parts of the assumption have hovered nearerto the surface of our conversations, few attempts havebeen made to test them.Intrigued by the opportunity for settling some contro­versies while beginning others, the editors of the Capand GOWIl decided to dive into the sociological game. Wedrew up a questionnaire covering some of the more sen­sitive topics now being debated on campus, sent themout to the students, and collated the answers received.Some of the questions dealt with fact, but most calledfor opinions, and some covered areas where few factsare available, in order to discover not who we are somuch as who we think we are. As numerous peoplepointed out, these questions are not really answerablein an y exact sense, but the response we did receive in­dicated very definitely how a large number of studentsfeel.On the whole the poll is a poor one. While the questions and answersarc specific, the questions often use ambiguous terms.M ale, fourth yearWhy don't you mind your own business.Mole, second year102 report on student opinionWe hope the information brought out by the study isin some cases startling, in other cases provocative, andin all cases interesting.We found the comments often penetrating, some­times amusing, and even quotable, so we have taken theliberty of sharing our enjoyment of them with all thereaders of the Cap and GOW1l, by reprinting some ofthose which were phrased so that they might be usedapart from the questions themselves.We would like to thank James Newman, the Directorof Student Activities, for his help in designing our ques­tions, and William Van Cleve, the Registrar, for draw­ing a list of randomly selected undergraduates, and pro­viding us with envelopes stamped with addresses.From the undergraduate body we took a random sam­ple of one fourth of the total. Some 565 questionaireswere distributed; 218 were returned before our dead­line with answers adequate for our purposes-we wereforced to discard two questionnaires which could not betabulated because they contained no answer in the boxmarked sex.We made a number of mistakes, which we wouldlike to mention here, so that they can be consideredwhile looking at the figures. First, we should have real­ized that the year category "five or more" would notcover enough individuals to make any percentage com­parisons statistically meaningful. We didn't, and so, inI think you're trying to sell Cap and Gowns.Male. [o urt h yearQuestions could have been much more coherent, specific and mean­ingful. :\n'crthclcss, a most interesting and well-planned questionnaire.M ale, fourth yearworking out our percentages we combined this categorywith fourth year students as "four or more." Questiontwelve lacked a "no opinion" alternative due to a typingerror. The part of question (1) called "Area of Special­ization" asked for specific areas such as history, physics,etc., but we SOon realized that this division would beless meaningful than a division into Social Sciences,Physical Sciences, Biological Sciences, Pre-professionalwork, and the Humanities. As was expected not every­one returning the sheet answered every question. Thispartly explains the discrepancy between numericaltotals. The rest of the discrepancy comes from the ques­tionaires which were returned with no checks in the ap­propriate blanks, but with qualified answers written onthe back of the sheet. These were of interest, but wecould not include them in our figures. An even largernumber marked a box but added qualifications. Fornumerical purposes we included these as if they had beenunqualified.In question six the "Loyalty Oath" could probablyhave been called the "disclaimer," since a few peoplewrote that they objected to the disclaimer but not theoath. When drawing up the questions we said "loyaltyoath" only because we felt that students tended to iden­tify the two and might not recognize (he word disclaimeras used in the question.Who asked you?Male, second yearIn general, a well-prepared guide to thorough thinking about theseissues. I heartily agree to the superior usefulness of specific questions.Regrettable that only a fraction of the student body are participatingin answering such a stimulating questionnaire. Finally, a word of ap­preciation for your sending the questionnaire at a part of the quarterwhen it can be given somewhat less rushed consideration.M ale, first yearThis sheet is not worthy of my comments for I am certain the resultswill be used to the advantage of administrative policy.Male, first year103So much for the preliminaries, now the results.(1) Please fill in the following information.Sex: Male Female _Year in the College: One __ Two __ Three __Four __ Five or �Iore __Area of Specialization: (your "major," history,physics, etc. ) _104 SEXMale Female65.5% 34.570YEARMale FemaleFirst 47 15Second 29 15Third 33 25Four or More 30 25AREA OF SPECIALIZATIONTotal number Percentage 1�1v1 ale .FcniolePhysical Sciences: 57 29.2 84.0 16.0Social Sciences: 44 22.6 45.5 54.5Biological Sciences: 21 10.7 62.0 38.0Humanities: 51 26.2 47.0 53.0Pre-professional: 22 11.3 91.0 9.0Incidentally, the percentage of men in the physicalsciences dropped from 38.7�� of our first year studentsto 23.3% of the men students in the category "four ormore."So that you may form some idea of the validity ofour sample we will quote here the actual figures for theCollege as a whole, as of the sixth week of the winterquarter.Tot al number Percentage63.5%36.5%Male:Female: 1282736The actual breakdown by general area of study as ofthe sixth week was as follows:Total number PercentagePhysical Sciences: 559 27.7%Social Sciences: 526 26.0%Biological Sciences: 369 18.2%Humanities: 399 19.7%Pre-professional: 165 8.1%As you may note we lost a few points in rounding offthe percentages.

Instructorsseem to be too interested in covering a large quantity of material, notin covering it well. Perhaps the instructors feel that the students shouldassume that responsibility. The result is, as it seems from discussingthis with students, that DC students receive a superficial sort ofeducation.Male, second yearIn my opinion, there is one serious flaw in the collcno program: over­emphasis on philosophy. After three years here, I feci that I could be aline medieval Catholic but I wonder if I am equipped for the Twen­tieth Century.110 Female, third year Bring back the old college.Female, second yearI have done my best to dissuade students from coming to this Univer­sity. I have often been successful.Male, fourth yearCompletely unaware of any serious discussion taking place at U of C.Upon first entering UC, I felt that I was completely surrounded by agroup of cause-seekers. Persons knowing nothing, lacking the intelli­gence to look it up, yet having a great deal to say.M ale, second yearThe dormitoriesThe govcmrncnt should nationalize Fac. Ex,Male, third yearI signed the loyalty oath although I definitely disagreed with it inprinciple.Male, fourth yearIt seems it is the prerogative of the government to choose whom itwishes to grant funds to. Anyone, however, who would not be willingto take such an oath is not necessarily a spy-not even very likely,since a good spy would know how to behave intelligently. The point is,that anyone who wouldn't be willing to take such an oath is probablyjust a Fifth Amendment fanatic-so like the loud-mouthed social sci­ence students of this campus-who would be too trivial and birdbrained to merit giving a grant in the first place I For Rea vens sake,why shouldn't someone say he's willing to be loyal to the U.S. gov't?!Female, third yearWithin mv two years at the Universitv I have noticed a definite de­crease in the intellectual caliber but this has given rise to a new highin student humanity. The students are intelligent, pleasingly so, andthey are real humans to boot. I say more power to the new trend.Female, second yearThe University has changed its emphasis from that of developingmature students to developing well behaved citizens with some educa­tion.Male, third yearI would like to see a more wholesome, refined group of students at theUniversity.Female, fourth yearMale, fourth yearThe first year students seem more aware of the world around them.In a word, they seem more "well-rounded." You could, perhaps, inter­pret this as an increase in intelligence, but I did not choose to make thedecision.I think it is very foolish for UC students to feel that the school isgoing to "beauty and brawn" just because some of the first year girlscomb their hair and wear lipstick. The only thing wrong with the newcollege is the old students.Female, first year114At about seven o'clock on Wednesday, January 3rd,a group of jubiliant UC students marched gallantly intothe court of New Dorm, one of the important stops ofthe Knox pre-game rally. They left an hour later, theirpre-game enthusiasm, their clothes, and even their skinsseverely dampened by opposition, cobras, and waterballoons. Their cold but well planned reception was thetriumph of the year for the East House Lounge Sitters.This group of militant, but normally sedentary, mem­bers of East House felt that the marchers "had no right"to stop at the New Dorm. Their ire roused, they spentthe afternoon fashioning weapons. By evening 120 waterballoons were assembled and every cobra (a portablewater hose made of surgical tubing in a cloth sleeve)in the house was ready. After the marchers had assem­bled, the Lounge Sitters let fly. The struggle was briefand utterly devastating. Later tempers cooled andclothes dried. Chicago beat Knox 63-65.Chicago has a reputation for being open minded but everyone, or atleast the majority, closes their minds and opens their mouths whenathletics are brought up.Male, first year115The U of C must accept its role as an institution of, by, and for thescholar. Its present attempts to become more like an "average" schoolwill leave it halfway in the middle, and outstanding in nothing.Male, jirst year116 My only comment on the students now entering is that they appear tobe the type who can adjust themselves to the world of today in amanner which will be profitable to both themselves and society; thisis a quality not possessed by many older students.M ale third yearAs a rule, I think the faculty is great, the courses are great (Hum.especially). I like Hyde Park undeveloped. The squirrels are too ag­grcssivc. Art to Li\"C With is a wonderful idea. I think Roualt is ex­cellent. "I am leading a quiet life here at Mike's place." (d. Ferlingetti).!vI ale, first yea.}'Let's see a campaign against this beatnik attitude on this campus.Female, first yearOn the first Thursday in March Jim Newman visitedNew Dorm to discuss the behavior of residents in thecentral lounge. In East House Mr. Newman began byexpressing regret over his unhappy but necessary choiceof subject matter. Then he pointed out the fact thatcertain problems were created by the notorious lack ofprivacy. However, he added that some kinds of be­havior would not be appropriate even in a privateliving room. Napping, eating, and petting were abso­lutely unacceptable. But while pawing, removal ofclothing, and lying on couches would be suppressed bydisciplinary action, kissing and holding hands wouldbe tolerated.Mr. Newman made a sincere effort to present theproblem as one of adhering to a universal standard ofacceptable behavior, and anyone who saw it in terms ofstudent freedom and student control was missing thepoint entirely. Still he recognized the fact that therewas a real problem for those who wanted to be alonewith their dates and that there was "endless room forflexibility and planning" in making New Dorm morelivable. The meeting concluded with a question periodin which Mr. Newman's position and patience wereseverely challenged. Marshall Ash said that the admin­istration was trying to force students into fraternitiessince they could have girls in fraternities. John Snow­day pointed out the difficulty in assuming that every­one knew what was and what was not acceptable be­havior. In spite of evident discomfort and embarrass­ment at the beginning, Mr. Newman's patience finallywon him respect and some sort of victory at the end.If I knew of a "qualified" student who was willing and able to do thework, follow the University rules without questioning them, be "happyand cheerful," then I would urge him to come to U'C. But due to thetyrannical trend of the present administration, I would tell the "quali­fied" student who would want to be able to think and act independentlywithout fear of unjust reprimations to go elsewhere! This year's classseems like a happy, obedient lot. Too early to tell, though, who isgoing to influence whom. I guess we will find out when the adminis­tration starts searching around the dorms for scapegoats to throw out.While I'm at it: 1) I'm infuriated by the M.V.D. tactic of keeping afile on our private lives. 2) Why doesn't the University act with us,the students? They only ruin themselves by students dropping outand low enrollments when they continually act against us. 3} Whydoes the administration assume apartment dwellers are living in "sin"and should be herded back into the dorms?Female, second year I would advise a qualified student to enter the U of C only if I thoughthe or she was capable of handling the emotional strains on studentswhich are peculiar to the U of C, i.e., in many cases disregard of in­structors for students and paying attention to very few; cold-blooded­ness of the administration in handling students; relaxation of moralstandards among fellow students and resulting moral confusion, inmany cases, in new students.Female, third year117l.,The fraternities ...118 Even the most rigidly-entrenched, radically-inclined,and grubbily-attired apartment liver can be counted onto admit that, if you gotta have fraternities, DC's arefairly good. They are noted for their lack of importance,of exclusiveness, of size, and of influence on anythingother than girls' clubs. The total fraternity active mem­bership is only about 250, a mere 1170 of the undergrad­uate student body. Even though fraternities tend tomake up in noise what they lack in numbers, the noise islost in the void known on campus as Apathy-a won­drous negative creation which is partially responsiblealso for keeping in check such potential menaces as Stu­dent Activities and athletics.Another wondrous negative creation is the Inter-fra­ternity council. Acting as a liason unit between fraterni­ties and everything else, namely the university adminis­tration, the council is made of twenty-one fraternitymen and John Callahan. In the last few years, the coun­cil has concerned itself primarily with writing, interpret­ing, rewriting, and reinterpreting fraternity rushing andsocial regulations. The resulting inconsistencies havekept the administration confused, the fraternities, there­fore, happy, and Mr. Callahan, a man of stout heart andgood intentions, earning his money.At any rate, it is roughly safe to say that the fraterni­ties use a self-concocted and self-enforced deferred rushsystem. This means that no student can be rushed byany fraternity until he is one quarter old, thereby givinganti-fraternity and pro-Apathy elements in the dorms(i.e., the housing staff) three full months in which theyare free to build or re-enforce a protecting shell ofApathy around each new student. Thus, when rushingbegins in the winter quarter, the situation is a healthyone in which the fraternities must work to get men topledge rather than one in which rushees compete to getinto fraternities. The men who do join fraternitiesdo so for various reasons, the mostpopular one being, probably, in­creased social opportunities, that is tosay, parties. There are, in general,three kinds of parties: stag, non-stag,and very non-stag.Alpha Delta phiFronl Row: Zaug (president), Cushno, Sewell. Second Row: Mills, Shepard,Miller, Smith, Doyle.

Their abilityto work as a team was a vital factor, evident to thehundreds of new fans the Maroons acquired during thecourse of the season.The mainstays of the Chicago ball-control offensewere seniors Gary Pearson 6-4, Mitch Watkins 6-4,and Clarence Woods 6-5, junior Jerry Toren 6-4, and Height, experience, and depthsophomore guards Ray Strecker 6-2 and Steve Ullman5-9. Freshman standouts were guards Joel Zemans 6-1,and Larry Liss 6-0.Pearson and Watkins, both year letter winners, plusToren topped the squad in both scoring and rebounding.Pearson scored 288 points and hauled in 250 rebounds,Toren scored 231 points with 115 rebounds, whileWatkins hit for 187 markers and snared 139 boards.For the season the Maroons shot .392 from the floor,.598 from the free throw line, snared 46.3 rebounds pergame, and averaged 57.4 points per game while holdingtheir opponents to 36.4 rebounds and 48.3 points pergame.Besides Toren, Strecker, Ullman, Liss, and Zemans,Stampf will have a host of other freshman and sopho­more dependables from which to mold next year'ssquad.138Chicago 59Chicago 57Chicago 67Chicago 72Chicago 71Chicago 74Chicago 60Chicago 52Chicago 52Chicago 78Chicago 58Chicago 64Chicago 76Chicago 60Chicago 63Chicago 50Chicago 66Chicago 48Chicago 29Chicago 49Chicago 57Chicago 0contribute to the best hoop season since '09Major C Winners:Gary PearsonRay StreckerJerry TorenSteve UllmanMitch WatkinsClarence WoodsJoel ZemansMinor C Winners:Larry CostinAl DevittDan EbyGene EricsonLarry LissMerle LahtiFred PaulsellTed RomoserMike Winter The Season:Lawrence 57Lake Forest 55St. Procopius 49U.1.

Louis, andCarleton among others, while capturing the ChicagoIntercollegiate Meet with 93 points in 1959, and takingsecond behind Loyola 821-78 this season. Their 1960 losses were to Wisconsin, Northwestern, Minnesota,and St. Louis University.Topping the list of record breakers was butterfly andfree style artist Rodger Harmon, backed by sprinterTom Lisco and free stylist Paul Schutt. BackstrokerBill Zimmerman, sprinters Dave Dec and Buddy Weiss,breaststroker Dan Siegel, distance man Phil Helmuth,butterfly man Paul Hoffer, and diver Joe Kuypers con­tributed strength, experience, and depth to the Chi­cago scoring punch. The squad will lose several of itskey men via graduation this spring, but Moyle willhave a few experienced men returning to resume theassault on the record books next year.Major C Winners:Dave DecRoger HarmonPhil HelmuthPaul HofferJoe KuypersTom LiscoDan SiegelBill Zimmerman Minor C Winners:Steve ColburnR.

For the greater partof the season the Maroons' hitting was more than ade­quate, their two top hurlers sophomore Nemon Taylorand feshman southpaw Rick Williams were stingy withhits, but the team's defense was inconsistent. In severalgames their fielding was sound and they won; in as manyothers errors told most of the story.Leading the total offensive effort was clutch hittingfirst baseman Jon Nicholson who batted .330, collectingmost of his hits with men on base and backed stronglyby center fielder Jack Markin's fine .375 average. BillBauer in left, Dick Thompson in right, Chuck Faidleycatching, John Luce at second, Ira Levy at third, andTom O'Connor at short comprised the remainder of thestarting lineup.Although faced with a year of rebuilding and the dis­advantage of a late start, Anderson remained hopefulfor the 1960 campaign. With a few key positions filledby the promising crew of freshmen prospects this spring,next year's squad could boast the experience and finesseabsent in the last several seasons.143Varsity harriers lack experienceA definite lack of experienced material plagued TedHaydon's varsity cross country team in 1959, as the out­classed Maroons dropped 9 of their 12 outings. Thesquad's three victories consisted of a close 27-28 edgingof Valparaiso, a solid 18-43 stomping over Wright Jr.College, and a 23-35 trimming over the University ofIllinois at Chicago contingent.On the brighter side, the UC Track Club team ,sparked by graduate students Gar Williams and HalHigdon, captured fourth place in the National Senior10,000 meter Cross Country Championships at Louis­ville, Kentucky, with Williams finishing fourth andHigdon fifth in the individual standings. The strongUCTC crew also dropped Kansas 21-36 and Iowa 26-31in their other two fall meets.The majority of the varsity's strength was concen­trated in the persons of sophomores Preston Grant andTom Clarke and freshmen Pat Palmer and DennisRusche. A pair of seniors, Walt Perschke and DaveHouk, added depth and experience to the squad. In addi­tion to these six major letter winners, Gary Augustineand Tom Bartha earned minor awards, while MaitlandGriffith, John Musgrove, Joe Olive, Terry Fowler,Walter Knowles, Dick Bentley, and Phil Metzger wereawarded numerals. With the return of Grant Palmer, ,Clarke, and Rusche plus the other underclassmen onthis year's team, Haydon should have a solid nucleusaround which to build next fall's squad.144 but track clubbers run strongSeason's Record: Wins 3 Losses 9Chicago 36Chicago 45Chicago 27Chicago 47Chicago 33Chicago 45Chicago "B" 18Chicago 32Chicago 48Chicago 46Chicago 40Chicago 23 DePaul 22E.

The squad lost five of its seven out­ings, one a 5-0 loss to national champion St. Louis Uni­versity, but managed to group their forces against twoof the Big Ten's best: Illinois and Purdue.After losing their opener to Indiana Technical College5-2, the Maroons stormed back to earn a 3-3 deadlockwith defending Big Ten champion Purdue at Stagg Fieldthe following week. They dropped their next three rain­soaked, road games, losing to University of Illinois atChicago 5-1, St. Louis 5-0, and Indiana 9-1. Their finalhome stand against Illinois earned them their only vic­tory of the year, as they suprised the Illini 2-1. A fastand experienced Wheaton team proved too strong on asnow-covered field with the Maroons dropping their finalmatch of the season 2-1. but lose to the nation's bestSeniors Wally Kaszuba and Roman Wirszczuk andsophomore goalie N emon Taylor turned in consistentlygood performances for the Chicagoans throughout thecampaign. The squad's other Major C winners wereRandy Denney, Bill Hauser, Oleh Kowerko, UmbertoNeri, Frank Randazzo, and Russ Zajtchuk.

The Maroons dropped Valparaiso24-8, Elmhurst 26-8, and Illinois Tech 20-15, whilegaining an 18-18 tie with U. 1.

Close behind was 177pound Warren Pollans with 7 victories, 2 defeats, andone draw. Sophomore Ron Chutter, the Maroons' 130pounder, ended the year with a 5-4-1 mark, while 167pound freshman Jack Merskin finished with a 5-5 slate.Besides these four letter winners, Minor C's wereearned by Fred Hoyt 123, Mike Eisenberg 137, andDave Silver 147. Freshman Phil Metzger 157 receivednumerals. With the exception of Sonnenberg, Bengtsonwill have his entire starting crew back for next season.146 in a season of developmentThe Season:Chicago 24Chicago 9Chicago 13Chicago 11Chicago 26Chicago 0Chicago 18Chicago 11Chicago 20Chicago 8 Valparaiso 8Lake Forest 19Augustana 17Notre Dame 21Elmhurst 8Wabash 12U. 1.

Michigan 24Sophomore gymnasts start slowly,As the 1959-60 season progressed, the rapid improve­ment of Coach Bob Kreidler's predominantly sopho­more gymnastics team became evident. Although end­ing the season with 2 victories against 5 set backs, theMaroons, shy on experience at the beginning of theseason and facing very strong Big Ten competition,began to jell, winning their final triangular meet overWisconsin 58-54 and Ball State 60-51.Senior George Andros again played the outstandingrole for Kreidler's crew with strong backing from a pairof solid sophomores Joe Kuypers and Ken Driessel.The other mainstays of the squad were sophomore VicMlotok and freshmen Joe Stephenson and Ed Manniko.Though the loss of Andros will be difficult to overcome,the nucleus of underclassmen returning for next seasonshould give Kreidler his strongest squad in severalseasons.The Season: Major C Winners:Chicago 31 Ohio State 71 George AndrosChicago 26 U.1.

For a ma­jority of the team it was the first season of intercol­legiate competition.Team captain Elliot Lilien turned in consistentlystrong performances in the sabre throughout the season,and ended the campaign with 24 individual victoriesand only 9 losses. Epee men Bob Riopelle and RonShelton carried most of the remaining scoring load forthe Maroons.With most of the squad returning, prospects for nextseason appear brighter for a better balanced, more ex­perienced team.148Novice netmen spark team to an outstanding seasonClose competition for the top starting berths andhustle payed off for the freshman and sophomores com­prision most of Coach Bill Moyle's 1959 tennis squad,as the Maroons won 8 lost 1 and tied 1 during the springseason. The squad stopped Elmhurst 8-1, Illinois Tech8-1, Bradley 4-2, U. 1. C. 10-1, De Paul 7-0, Wright Jr.6-1, and Wilson Jr. twice 7-0 and 7-1, losing only toMarquette 7-2 and tying Lake Forest 5-5. They closedthe season with a solid victory in the Chicago Inter­collegiate Tournament, besting rugged Roosevelt U. by10 points.Freshmen Len Friedman, Jon Berall, and Will Pro­vine, sophs Bernie Hoffman and Max Liberles, andjuniors Mike Nussbaum and Karl Finger paced theteam during the entire season. Friedman, Liberles, Nuss­baum, and Finger all won their flights in the ChicagoIntercollegiate tourney, while the Nussbaum-Fingerdoubles team captured the second flight crown.With most of the team back for 1960 plus the additionof a few newcomers, next year's team should be thestrongest and most experienced in several years.'59 trackmen unbeaten in dual meets,but graduation thins '60 ranksPaced by the performances of some outstanding run­ners, Coach Ted Haydon's varsity track team wentunbeaten in dual meet competition last year in both theindoor and outdoor seasons, besides winning the Mid­west Conference and regional NCAA championshipshandily. The loss of most of the top performers viagraduation has slowed this year's team some, but indica­tive of their balance was another win over 10 MidwestConference schools in the 1960 indoor event.Leaders of last year's team were sprinters Al Jacobsand Hosea Martin, hurdlers Mitch Watkins and DonRichards, quarter milers George Karcazes and Pete Me­Keon, 880 men Bud Perschke and Ivan Carlson, distancemen Gar Williams, Vic Neill, Preston Grant, and DaveHouk, and pole vaulter Dave Northrop. During thespring season Watkins was a consistent performer inthe high jump, broad jump, shot put, javelin, and discusbesides both hurdles and the relay team. A strong per­former in the sprints, broad and high jumps, and lowhurdles during the 1960 indoor season was freshmanTerry White, backed on the team by underclassmenNeill, Perschke, Houk, McKeon, Grant, Pat Palmer,Gary Augustine, Jerry Gehman, Dennis Rusche, DennisO'Leary, Pete Joseph, and Justine Johnson. With themajority of talent in the ranks of this year's freshmanand sophomores, Haydon can look toward a strongerteam again in the next few years.150Klein paces golfers to an improved seasonPaced by the superlative efforts of link ace SteveKlein, Coach Bob Kreidler's 1959 varsity golf teamfinished their heavy season on the long end of a 10-9count while tying for third in the Chicago IntercollegiateChampionships at the close of the season with Kleintaking medalist honors with a 154 for 36 holes.Also playing consistent roles for the team and earningmajor letters besides Klein were Nick DeMerell, DaveKreisman, and Marshall Sylvan. Henry Halladay, RayStrecker, Dave Silver, and Jim Ferguson earned minorawards and played in most matches during the course ofthe year. The 1960 squad lacked the strong individualsof last year's team, and chances for next year will dependon the improvement of this season's top players.Psi Upsilon and East II continue their intramural dominationChicago's intramural sports program has experiencedan unusual upswing in interest and participation in thelast two years since Chet McGraw took over as DI di­rector, but the perennial King of the Mountain in fra­ternity circles Psi L'psilon is still firmly entrenched ontop while East II is fighting to capture its secondstraight title in the house league. Last season the Psi U's totalled 1891 points for their umpteenth crown ina row, while East II needed only 1135 to capture thedorm honors. At the end of the 1960 winter quarter,Psi U held a 1070 J-7111 edge over its nearest rivalPhi Delta Theta, but East II had a less secure marginover East III, 766-698J.152During fall quarter of this year, Psi U compiled 28touchdowns in 8 games to win the fraternity and AllUniversity football crowns while giving up only oneTD to house champion East II in the playoffs. Bothteams captured their respective titles in golf, but theymet defeat in swimming with Zeta Beta Tau and Meadwinning narrowly. Psi U and Salisbury garnered vic­tories in tennis doubles with Chuck Werner and LesHutton of Psi U taking the All University trophy. PhiDelt and East II grappled their way to the wrestlingchampionships to close out the fall quarter action.In winter quarter basketball Psi U and Vincent sur-,vived several close calls to win, but Chicago Theo-logical Seminary emerged with the All University cup.In tournament play Psi U nailed down the fraternityhandball and badminton titles with Dodd and East IIwinning their division respectively. Psi U and East IIIdoubled with track and free throw victories, and Psi Uand East IV won ther respective table tennis leagues.153Some sixty sports lovers "packed" Stagg Field onFrank Seno Day, Sunday, October 18, during half timeof the Chicago-Purdue soccer game to witness the fourthannual Psi Upsilon-inspired reinactment of a 103 yardkickoff return made by the former Chicago Cardinalhalfback Frank Seno in 1946. As the "story" goes,Seno's record for the longest run in professional footballhistory was broken just one week before its tenth an­niversary in 1956, and since that time every year on theSunday closest to October 20, this group of inspiredenthusiasts relive briefly one of the most exciting mo­ments in sports history.Escorted onto the field by a one piece marching bag­pipe band in the person of Bu� Stenn, this year's FrankSeno, Fred Dolan, typically bold and dedicated, madehis appearance. After a brief but rhetorical oratory byFriends of Frank leader Bill Spady, Dolan took the fieldto face and conquer a host of would-be tacklers. Withonly two "blockers" to protect him, Frank sped for thesidelines, circled behind the spectators (as interference),and after further confusion crossed the goal line in ablaze of glory. Frank Seno's memory would linger on forat least another year!Sons of Seno hold their fourth annual runHass announces new eligibility policyDue to the success of several of the University'steams and the overall development of the intercolle­giate athletic program during the past few years, itbecame necessary for Athletic Director Walter Hassand his staff to reconsider some of the eligibility policieswhich were in effect during Chicago's "barren" athleticyears. Now that UC teams are competing on even termswith many of the Midwest's small colleges and univer­sities in most sports, objections were raised against theuse of graduate students who technically still had notused up their eligibility as undergraduates at eitherChicago or other schools.For this reason, Hass and his staff in the fall of 1959issued a ruling which eliminated students with a fouryear degree from participating on intercollegiate var­sity teams against other NCAA schools. Although thiseliminated some outstanding athletes from competingthis year, it is felt that the ruling only hastened a rapidtrend toward predominately undergraduate teams.155Joseph R. Shapiro's art collection is dispersed to studentsquarterly in the ((Art to live With" programOrganized chaos reigns as Pan-Amsters invade the campusSpanish, Portuguese, and French were added to thecustomary English chatter on the quadrangles as ath­letes from all over the hemisphere descended upon IdaNoyes Hall, the dorms, and the athletic facilities asUC helped Chicago play host to the 1959 Pan-Americangames. Free milk, pop, and ice cream were dished outin impressive quantities by publicity-seeking distrib­utors to irrepressible players, confused interpreters,worried chaperones, and impersonating students. TheMaroon added its contribution by publishing its firstbi-lingual issue. Quickly-erected telegraph stations and158 post offices brought greetings to and from the athleteswhile continually-active buses and station wagons cart­ed them to and from stadiums, pools, courts, and play­ing fields. Peruvians sang rock 'n' roll, Canadiansdanced the mambo; Haitians learned okay and howmuch, New Yorkers practiced oft; and chao; Braziliansthumbed "See Chicago" pamphlets, Alaskans tried theirfirst tacos. The order for the day was laughter, excite­ment, confusion, and, mainly, noise.According to the newspapers, the United States teamwon the games.160162 PHOTOPR�SS, INC.• Offset-lithography• Quality book reproduction• Fine color work a specialtyCONGRESS STREET EXPRESSWAY and GARDNER ROADCOlumbus 1-1420163For the new new college, a new new dormTHE GEORGE SOLLITT CONSTRUCTION CO.BUILDERSforTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOIncludingARGONNE CANCER RESEARCH HOSPITAL58TH STREET AND ELLIS A VENUEWOMEN'S RESIDENCE HALL59TH STREET AND WOODLAWN A VENUEWOMEN'S RESIDENCE DINING HALLSOUTH OF WOMEN'S RESIDENCE HALLMEN'S RESIDENCE HALL55TH STREET AND UNIVERSITY A VENlEHIGH SCHOOL5830 KENWOOD AVENUETelephone RAndolph 6-5330SUITE 1301 • 109 NORTH DEARBORN STREET • CHICAGO 2, ILLINOIS165166 The Windermere Hoteloffers air conditioned Private Rooms forall special Party Events-and invites youto "The Anchorage," open daily forluncheon, dinner and late supper snacks.1642 EAST FIFTY-SIXTH STREETFAirfax 4-6000PHONE: HYde Park 3-9100LEIGH'SGROCERY AND MARKETQuality Foods1327 E. 57TH ST.
