He was playing clarinet in the University Band when drummajor Ed Nelson, '30, was graduated. Iwas in charge of the band.That summer Barney made me aproposition: If he learned to twirl thebaton in the next two months, could hebe the new drum major for the football band? I agreed. He spent hours-per-day on Stagg Field and opened thefall season at the head of the marchingband without breaking cadence.After graduation Barney was marriedto his high school girl friend from May-wood. (Since we will be talking aboutshow business, let me add that this marriage has lasted through the years.) Iwas best man and Dean Charles Gilkey,of the Chapel, performed the service inBond Chapel. Outside, in the Harperquadrangle, the Kleinschmidts' car waspacked for points East. "Broadway," saidBarney, as though it were that simple.I remember hoping, doubtfully, thatBroadway would let Barney down easywithout breaking his spirit. I knew Barney had to win, eventually. But onBroadway? Time would have to tell.That was 20 years ago. About all Iknew was that Barney had simplifiedhis stage name to "Jay Barney." Thenhe disappeared into the War.Last December I was in New York.The Manhattan telephone book listed a"Kleinschmidt, Lt. Col. John B." It was Barney, all right. He was rehearsing opposite Tallulah Bankhead inEugenia to cpen in New Haven December 19, on to Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia and finally on Broadway in lateJanuary. At the rehearsal's 8:30 P.M.supper break, Barney jumped on one ofhis five motor bikes and joined me atmy hotel.The fifty-minute, twenty-year fill-inwent about like this:First, summer stock in Massachusetts.On to Broadway in 1937 with ManyMansions, playing one part, understudying six and assistant stage managing.In 1938 he was in On Borrowed Timewhich brought him to Chicago.But Barney rushed back to New Yorkfor the World's Fair in 1939-40, usingboth his names to hold two jobs trainingushers and supervising lecturers.In 1941 Barney entered the Army Signal Corps, produced 112 training films,wrote or re-wrote many, directed 28,won prizes and Academy Award recognition, and finally became a lieutenantcolonel and an executive producer.By 1950 he had been in nine Hollywood pictures and had driven from thePacific to the Atlantic in 72 hours toappear as Lt. Monoghan with ChesterMorris in the Detective Story.On TV Barney has been James Cag-ney's commanding officer in RobertMontgomery Presents; played oppositeEthel Merman in her TV debut on theU. S. Steel Hour; has been Phil Silver'scommanding officer; and has appearedon scores of other shows including Omnibus' "The Court Martial of BillyMitchell."Currently, on radio, Barney is thewealthy Kurt Bonine who is gummingup Helen Trent's love life on C.B.S. Andthat brings us to the motor scooters.While he's out of town with Tallulahand Eugenia in the evenings, he must bein New York with Helen Trent andC.B.S. in the mornings. In Boston, forexample, it went like this:Barney finished with Helen Trent andC.B.S. at 12:45 P.M.; jumped on hisscooter and hopped the 1:15 P.M. Bostonplane out of La Guardia air field. InBoston at 2:15 P.M., he landed on hissecond scooter. Through the SumnerTunnel he reached Plymouth Theatreten minutes later for the afternoon rehearsal and evening show.The final curtain at 11:10 P.M., allowed scooter time for an 11:50 planeto New York. Of course for the Thursday matinees, C.B.S. simply wrote KurtBonine out of the script and someoneelse could have Jay's seat on the Bostonplane.Never knowing when a picture or TVbroadcast from Hollywood will rush himWest, Barney has another gas scooter at the^ interreftioHBl^AirppfJk in XdsAngele^ rC°The oth*«£ two motor bikes are W)ti-where he's -niosf "likely"" to— get stuckaround New York. Thus, Barney cancount on squeezing through traffic jams,under road blocks, or over sidewalks fora sharp schedule which keeps five ballsin the air at all times.Meanwhile, John Kleinschmidt is president and executive producer of JaybarFilms, Inc. This firm makes documentaries, commercial films and medicalpictures. One film they made is now theofficial film for civilian defense in 41states. It is on the technique of takingand administering blood, plasma andsaline solutions in emergencies.And now I'm worn out trying to keepup with Barney Kleinschmidt who willbe Jay Barney when you next see him— who knows where and in what.Here I Go AgainMy grandfather, on my dad's side, always insisted on reading the newspaperaloud after the evening chores weredone.

For two at least, here is a semi-happy ending.When the revolution broke out inHungary, pretty, 23-year-old AliceSlezak and her parents decided to flee fromtheir home in Budapest and seek a new lifefree from communist domination. Since itwould have been too conspicuous for all ofthem to leave at once, they agreed to splitup and flee separately, unless an opportunity arose to act otherwise.They watched the roads, and one dayAlice and her mother hitched a ride ona truck heading for the Austrian border.At the border, they found other refugeesgathered. Many were afraid to leave;communist patrols would shoot at anyoneattempting to cross.A man told Alice and her mother, "Ifyou have courage, I will show you theway." He led them to a wooded area.Braving possible gunfire, they stole throughthe woods. "Our hearts beat so; we thoughtevery tree moved," says Alice, describingtheir flight.They arrived safely in Austria, and afew days later were flown across the oceanto Camp Kilmer, N.J., among the firstrefugees to arrive here.Alice had been a pre-med student at theUniversity of Budapest until 1954, whencommunist examiners decided she was too"western" in her thinking and dismissedher. She had been impressed with men-Morton Shapiro PhotoStarting out alone in the new world ofan American university, refugee studentAlice Slezak, (L), strides to first class. tion of the University of Chicago in reading medical books, and at Camp Kilmershe asked that she and her mother be sentto Chicago.She had been trained in bacteriology,and through a new acquaintance found herway to Billings Hospital, in search of ajob. Her plan was to support herself andher mother and, eventually, to work herway through medical school.Alice reads and writes English well,having studied it in school. Her spokenEnglish is improving daily. With the helpof an interpreter, Dr. Ross Benham, Director of the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory, questioned Alice, and hired her towork in the lab. When she told fellow-employes how she planned to enrol as astudent when she had money, Dr. Benhamsent her over to the scholarship ofHce. Shewas awarded the first of ten scholarshipsChancellor Kimpton has made available toHungarian refugees."It was not until I read in the paper thenext day that I realized the scholarship wasespecially for Hungarian students," recallsan elated, slightly bewildered Alice.The Slezaks are living in an apartmentwhich they share with another woman. TheRed Cross is aiding them in getting settled.Mrs. Slezak speaks no English, but hopesto find work soon, and is trying to acquirean understanding of English and of Americans by watching television. So far, theyhave no word of Mr. Slezak's fate. Theyhope desperately that he, too, made hisescape and will be able to join them soon.FEBRUARY, 1957 5HUNGARIAN REFUGEE STUDENTContinuedThe first thing Alice did upon arriving in Chicago was to find a job. Here she marks samplein the Clinical Microbiology lab at Billings. Walking down 55th Street, (below), she was delighted to find American stores offered so much fresh food, couldn't wait to show her mother.Photographs by Morton Shapiro6 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEIn her first laboratory class, Alice receives instructions from Dorothy Price, (1.) A seriousstudent, Alice was delighted to discover, in her first few days, that she could keep up.Although she has been asked to tell it many timesover, Alice politely responds when new friend asksfor details about the revolution. Somewhat shy,she finds it easier when all that is required of heris that she merge with the rest of class (right).FEBRUARY, 1957Report from AustriaA doctor's report on Hungarian refugeetreatment at the border, and some tipson how to welcome them as neighborsNewly-arrived Hungarian refugeesneed help from their neighborsin adjusting to the community "overthe long pull," says Dr. Lowell T.Coggeshall, who recently spent threedays in Austria with Vice PresidentRichard M. Nixon on a tour of refugeecamps."It's all right to give them welcoming banquets," he said, "But the important thing is a sustaining influence,to help them get settled. They'll soonintegrate themselves. This is no riffraff which is coming across the borders."Dr. Coggeshall, Frederick H. Raw-son Professor of Medicine, has returned to his post as Dean of theDivision of Biological Sciences aftera year's leave of absence to serve asspecial assistant to the Secretary forHealth and Medical Affairs. He is alsopresident-elect of the Association ofAmerican Medical Colleges, and ofthe American Cancer Society.Dr. Coggeshall accompanied thevice president to Austria at the directrequest of the White House.Reporting on the handling of refugees directly after they cross theborder into Austria, he said:"Transportation and food seems tobe being handled very well by welfare and government agencies. Thereare enough abandoned military campsfor housing, and several countrieshave set up agencies to help. Besidesthe U.S., others include Canada,Switzerland, Holland, Australia, England and Austria."Austria actually is bearing thebrunt of the problem," he said. "Refugees are pouring in at the rate of1,500 a night. Even before the revolution they came. Austria has received over 150,000 in the past year.These refugees have been sittingthere, waiting for a chance to gosomewhere. Austria has been sup porting them all this time. There arestill about 75,000 sitting there, andthe, pathetic thing is that they don'tget the attention and the advantagesthe newcomers receive."As soon as refugees cross the border, they are given medical examinations."We have a great many U.S. PublicHealth doctors concentrated in thearea. We were able to pull them inquickly from their posts in Europe,"Dr. Coggeshall said.A large number of U.S. immigrationofficials were also sent into the area,to facilitate the movement of refugeesto the U.S."All our allotment visas are gone,"Dr. Coggeshall said. "The refugeesare being issued parolee tickets temporarily, and their status here willbe ironed out by the Immigration Department."In some instances, previously heldrules are being stretched to meet theemergency, he said."We did not take active tuberculosis cases formerly. We do now. Wefigure we'll treat them here," Dr.Coggeshall explained.Dr. Coggeshall said he was particularly impressed with the youth andhigh calibre of the refugees he met."The majority of them seem to beunder forty, and most of them aretechnical students, young professorsor artisans," he said. "There are alsomany from the middle class who havewanted to leave Hungary for yearsand the revolt gave them theirchance.""The border is heavily mined, butaside from that, the communists don'tguard it as carefully as they once did.In my opinion, the communists obviously could stop them, but choose notto. It seems apparent that this is agroup which resisted indoctrination, and the communists feel they're better off being rid of them."There's another thing that strikesyou," Dr. Coggeshall said. "TheUnited States has been criticized agreat deal for ineptness in handlingpropaganda towards the satellitecountries. The Voice of America particularly has been charged with beinginefficient."But the minute a break like thisoccurs, it spreads like wildfire. Wemust have gotten through to themsome way. And most of them wantto get out of Austria and come directly here."Dr. Coggeshall said he had theserecommendations to make to President Eisenhower on handling of therefugees:"Most of the work is being handledas a united effort, and I think this isgood. I don't think it should betreated as a cold war device. It shouldbe turned over to the United Nationsor to the International Red Cross, foradministration, and every effort madeto get these people moved and resettled as fast as possible."Consideration should be taken oftheir present psychological state," hesaid. "I compare them to the members of a football team, once thegame is over. While they were involved in the revolution and concerned with getting over the border,the excitement stirred them up andkept them going."Now they are strangers in a newcountry, with no money, and no clothesor belongings besides what they couldcarry with them. They feel insecureand worried about the future. Sometimes they become quarrelsome incamp. I think we should put out adaily newspaper for them, on the spot,to help morale. In it we should tell(Continued on Page 27)8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEA close look atMARSWhen the first man lands on Mars he will find therea primitive form of plant life, but no canals, according to a University astronomer.Mars exhibited some unusual conditions on its closeapproach to the earth last September, hindering observations with a tremendous dust storm, but giving astronomers their first look at a snowstorm, Dr. GerardP. Kuiper, Professor of Astronomy, said in announcingresults of his intensive observations of last August andSeptember."Canals were not discernible on Mars during the observations," Dr. Kuiper said. "Nearly all reported observations made in the last half century, since largetelescopes became available, likewise have not notedcanals. The surface of Mars looks entirely 'natural'."Previous observations by Dr. Kuiper and others haverevealed areas of blue-green color on the planet, a possible indication of vegetation somewhat like lichen. Lastautumn, there were only touches of green in the areas.The dull colors, Dr. Kuiper suggests, might have beenthe result of a very dry spring on Mars."It is possible that vegetation is present, and is in factresponsible for the minute color differences in the darkareas," he said.The Martian Spring was so dry this year that astronomers saw a gigantic W-shaped dust storm — some 3,000miles long and 250 miles wide — develop from the desertswhich cover more than half of Mars' surface. The stormslowly spread over the face of the red planet. That wason August 30. By September 9 Mars had rotated enoughso that observers could see the storm sweep over muchof its other side.While this was happening, what Dr. Kuiper calls "anextraordinary event" took place on Mars' polar cap. Asexpected, this large area of snow and ice, much like thoseat the earth's own poles, became smaller between earlyJune and mid-August, which is Spring on Mars. Aftera while, just a few patches of snow remained on the"Mountains of Mitchell." By September 1, all traces ofsnow were gone.On September 5, while it was summer on Mars, a smallpolar cap was seen again. In four days a "brilliantlywhite cloud" estimated at 800 miles across had formedover the pole. By September 14 it was gone, leavingbehind a fresh snow cover.Dr. Kuiper believes this was the first time a large polarsnow storm on Mars has been seen. But why in lateSpring? One possible answer Dr. Kuiper advances isthat the planet-wide dust storms lowered the Martiantemperatures below their average 65-below (F). Thethickest part of the new polar cap — some 250 miles wide— remained all summer.Mars came within 35 million miles of the earth onSeptember 7, and will not come that close again until(Continued on Page 28) Three views of Mars, as seen by observers duringthe planet's close approach to the earth last September.

The anxious eyes of the worldare focused on this troubled spot these days.The black line and ship symbols illustrate theroute followed by tankers, (when the canal isopen to traffic), carrying critical oil cargoes frommiddle-eastern wells to Europe and America.10 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEWhat precipitated the Suez crisis?What are some of the difficult problems yet to be faced in this area?Nasser Wins by Defeatby John A. Wilson, PhD '26Andrew MacLeish Distinguished ServiceProfessor of EgyptologyThe month of November, 1956 wasa bitter one for Americans. Wetossed in the grip of two nightmares.The Soviet brutality in Hungaryended any dream of peaceful coexistence. But the second nightmaretwisted us with a savage irony: werebuked our traditional friends, GreatBritain, France, and Israel; we ralliedto the support of a "dictator," Nasser,whom our Government had rebukedonly three months earlier; and wefound ourselves supported in this reversal by Soviet Russia. Britain andFrance assure us that the judgmentof time will support their action inSuez. How does it look to an American in early January, 1957?Israel lit the fuse on October 29,when her troops thrust into the Egyptian territory of Sinai, on a "defensive" invasion, to wipe out the basesfor Arab guerillas, the fedayin.France and Britain had been poisedon the island of Cyprus since August,after Egypt's nationalization of theSuez Canal. They called upon Egyptand Israel to cease fighting, and onOctober 31 began the systematicbombing of "military objectives" inEgypt, followed up by their invasionof the Suez Canal area. On November 2, the General Assembly of theUnited Nations, by a 64 to 5 vote,called upon Israel, Britain, and Franceto cease fire, and in the middle ofNovember a United Nations policeforce began taking up positions in the Suez area. The three invadingnations are now withdrawing fromSuez and Sinai, leaving to the UnitedNations the responsibility for working out some kind of peace and forclearing the Suez Canal of sunkenships, so that oil may once more flowthrough for the needs of western Europe.Why did Israel invade Egypt? Themoving factor was emotional, ratherthan rational. In engineering or medicine, there is a factor of tolerance:if you exceed the limit of tolerance,something is going to break. Israeland her Arab neighbors had beenunder a strain of nerves since thearmistice of 1949, with seven years ofborder incidents exciting both sides.Since 1950 Egypt had forbidden passage through the Suez Canal to shipsbound for Israel and had also set upa blockade in the Gulf of Aqabah,on the east of the Sinai peninsula.Now Egypt was increasing in power;she had formed military alliances orjoint commands with other Arab nations; she had secured modern armsfrom Soviet Russia; and she was providing the jumping- off places for thefedayin. Israel felt that, before Egyptwas strong enough for action, Israelherself must "git thar fustest withthe mostest."The dividing line between a defensive invasion and an aggression isone of individual definition, normallybased on personal judgments. In 1916, the United States believed thatour "punitive expedition" into Mexico in pursuit of Pancho Villa wasjustified. Mexico disagreed. On November 2 the United Nations did notcondemn Israel for aggression, butcalled upon her to cease from invasion. Legally this was not censure;emotionally it was.Why did Britain and France invadeEgypt? Again the heart overruledthe head. Since the end of World WarII, the tail of the British lion hadbeen twisted — by Indians and Pakistanis, by Mau Maus in Kenya, byGreeks over the issue of Cyprus, byNasser's pressure in 1953-54 thatBritish troops evacuate the SuezCanal. France also was furious atNasser for his encouragement of Arabrebellion in Tunisia, Algeria, andMorocco. When, on July 26, Egyptnationalized the Suez Canal, onlyAmerican pressure kept the two powers from taking action against Nasserat that time. The Anglo-Frenchbuild-up on Cyprus was awaitingsome opportunity, such as a collapseof successful Egyptian managementof the Canal, to intervene in force.The Israeli invasion offered theawaited opportunity.Nevertheless, our understanding ofindignant feelings does not implysupport of the Anglo-French intervention. The invasion of Egypt, afterIsrael had invaded Egypt, ran counterto the 1950 Tripartite Declaration, inFEBRUARY, 1957 11which Great Britain, France, and theUnited States pledged themselves tocome to the aid of the victim of aggression in the Near East, whetherIsraeli or Arab. Indeed, the Americanpartner was kept in the dark as tothe Anglo-French intentions.Further, the successive declarationsof the British Government show anover-eager attempt to find justification for armed action. Back in JulySir Anthony Eden had stated that theonly British quarrel was with ColonelNasser. British and French papershad clamored that Nasser was a "littleHitler" and must go. The ultimatumof October 30 stated that the Anglo-French purpose was to stop the fighting between Israelis and Egyptians.A week later they were asserting thattheir purpose had been to protect theSuez Canal. A week after that theywere insisting that only the Anglo-French invasion kept Soviet Russiaout of the Near East, whether throughadditional Soviet arms or throughRussian "volunteers." Finally, a weekafter that, they were piously proclaiming that they were able to actswiftly and thus to enter the areaand hold the position for the advantage of the United Nations — an agency which they had ignored when theytook their action.Macbeth (France) seems to beable to sleep in the confidence of ajustified action. But Lady Macbeth(Britain) walks in her sleep andwashes and rewashes her hands, muttering fretfully: "Yet who would havethought the old man to have had somuch blood in him? . . . All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten thislittle hand."J_ he suez canal is the world's mostimportant water-way. Its annual tonnage is about double that of the Panama Canal. Of the 11,000 to 12,000ships which pass through in a normalyear, the great majority are oil tankers. Annually, 1,200,000 barrels ofpetroleum flow through from the Persian Gulf oil fields, to meet at leasteighty per cent of the needs of western Europe. Without this oil, Britain,France, and NATO would be immobilized. The Universal Suez Canal Company, in which the British Government has a 44 per cent holding, isalso a powerful and lucrative agency.Its annual net income was running about $30 million, it normally assureda five per cent return, and dividendsmight run up to $27 a share.Now Egypt's nationalization of theSuez Canal on July 26 was entirelylegal. The nationalization of an assetwithin a country, when accompaniedby the promise to pay adequate compensation, has had several precedentsand was tested before the WorldCourt after the Mossadegh government nationalized the Anglo-IranianOil Company. The United States, witha thoughtful eye upon the PanamaCanal, could hardly agree that allwidely used waterways should be under international control. Further,when in 1946 the Soviet Governmentsuggested that the Dardanelles beplaced under international control,Great Britain and the United Statesopposed the Russian request and supported Turkey's national control. Anyprotest against Nasser's motives,methods, or "good will" would haveto be clear as day before it could limitthe correctness of his legal position.T]ie 1888 Treaty of Constantinopleaffirmed that the Suez Canal should"always be free and open, in time ofwar as in time of peace, to every vessel of commerce or of war, withoutdistinction of flag." Again the precedents of the Panama Canal and theDardanelles assert that this should bepossible under the administration ofa single nation. Egypt did keep thecanal in operation, after nationalization and even after the canal company called home the western pilots.However, Egypt is vulnerable on this"free and open" argument. Since1950 she has maintained an embargoagainst ships bound for Israel, andin 1951 the United Nations called upon her to cease and desist from suchblockade. In terms of world opinion,Egypt is not keeping the canal fullyfree and open. Even here she hassome precedent on her side. WhenGreat Britain signed the Treaty ofConstantinople, she was occupyingEgypt, and she stipulated that shewould not abide by the Treaty if shefelt obliged to take other action forthe security of Egypt. Indeed, in twoworld wars, Britain attempted to secure the canal against enemy approach. Israel also is not in a strongmoral position to condemn Egypt forrefusing to follow a directive of theUnited Nations, since Israel haspointedly ignored the 1947 United Nations resolution that the city ofJerusalem be under internationalcontrol.The Anglo-French reaction to thenationalization of the canal is like thefurious reaction of the buyer of amotor car to the repossession of thatcar by the financing company. Hehates to give up his car, he hates therepossessing agent, so he smashes thecar into a tree. Britain and Francewho need the life blood of oil throughthe canal, have succeeded in havingthe canal blocked up for months tocome.J-NDIgnation against our allies shouldnot blind us to the feeling that theUnited States has also contributed toget us all into the present mess. Nasser's army clique took over power inEgypt in July, 1952. For a time theyconcentrated upon internal reforms.In 1953 I had the distinct impressionthat the Egyptian government wouldbe glad to have a face-saving formulato effect a peace with Israel, so thatthey could concentrate on domesticproblems. This attitude changedabruptly in February, 1955, when,with Ben-Gurion returned to thepremiership in Israel, there was aflare-up of violence along the relatively quiet Gaza Strip. SuddenlyNasser realized the military weakness of Egypt confronting Israel. Heappealed to the west for arms, and inthe late spring the United Statesagreed to sell Egypt $27 million worthof arms. The terms of agreementwere hard — full cash payment in dollars — and it is questionable whetherour government could have withstooda political protest against such a saleto an enemy of Israel. At any rate,the deal was not concluded, and inSeptember, 1955, Egypt effected anarms deal with Soviet Russia. Egypthas only one major cash crop, cotton,and American cotton has always beena difficult competitor. Now Russiawas willing to trade arms for cotton,including the mortgaging of crops ofthe future. Thereby Nasser deliveredhis country over to some measure ofSoviet influence.However, we were not through inour attempts to woo Col. Nasser.Egypt's major problem is too largea population for the arable land. Toclaim new land, the Egyptian government proposed a new high dam at12 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthe First Cataract, estimated to costa billion and a quarter dollars. InDecember, 1955, the United Statesoffered Egypt an initial grant of $56million toward the High Dam, Britainchiming in with $14 million, while theWorld Bank considered a loan of$200 million at 4 per cent. Thereafter, we became increasingly unhappy about Nasser's relations withthe Soviets. British and French indignation at him may also have stiffened our attitude. On July 19, 1956,Secretary of State Dulles abruptlycalled in the Egyptian ambassadorand withdrew the High Dam offer.Whether the original offer was rightor wrong, the method of withdrawalwas a calculated affront to a sovereign state. It was particularly gallingto a people sensitive to the "superiorairs" of the west. One week later,Colonel Nasser announced the nationalization of the canal, an embarrassment to the west which is stillunresolved.TTE go on from there to the Israeliattack on Sinai and the Anglo-Frenchattack on Egypt. All of the invadershad a complete success; Egypt wasthoroughly beaten. The objectivesmay have been set as purely military,but the destruction of life and property was great. On the testimony ofAmericans in different parts of Egypt,it was "total war" of the type knownto the world since the Spanish CivilWar.Britain, France, and Israel indignantly deny collusion in this actionagainst a common enemy. If "collusion" is a legal term requiring a written compact, their denial may bevalid, but to the bystander the evidence for some kind of verbal agreement is overwhelming. France seemsto have been the agent in the matter,with Israel the cat's-paw and Britainthe willing partner. The sudden increase in French Mystere jet planesin Israel, the presence of manyFrench instructors accompanyingthese planes, and the alleged transferof a French air squadron to theLydda airport in Israel all point inthe same direction. Further, up tothe latter half of October, Israel hadgiven every indication that she believed her main peril to be east,rather than south. The gerrymandering frontier between Israel and Jor dan, the sudden anti-British trend ofthe Jordanian government, and theever-warm problem of water rightson Israel's northeast all suggestedthat Israel's interests lay east andnortheast. This summer, when Syrianand Iraqi troops moved toward Jordan, Israel served notice that shewould consider the presence of suchforeign troops in Jordan to be athreat to herself and would act accordingly. Instead, apparently persuaded by the western allies, she suddenly moved to the south.J^iET us consider the character ofColonel Nasser. He is a military dictator. This, in itself, need not excludehim from the cooperation of the west,as we have in the past been able towork with Chiang Kai-shek, Franco,Tito, and a host of Latin Americans.He is a revolutionary, but Tom Paineor Thomas Jefferson might have applauded the "subversiveness" of hiswritings and speeches in their patriotic setting. He is an honest patriotand a sincere reformer, and his government has launched a series ofgreatly needed social and economicimprovements in Egypt. Yet we arestill troubled by the two facts thathe has been inflammatory to thoseoutside of Egypt, particularly therebels in French North Africa, andthat he has had cordial relations withSoviet Russia.Gamal Abdul-Nasser is not a European or an American. He is anEgyptian, and his basic psychologyis that of the Asian-African peoples,who have been trying to assert themselves in separation from westerncontrol. Great Britain invaded Egyptin 1882. From that date onward, despite apparent promises of ultimatewithdrawal, there were British soldiers on Egyptian soil until June 13,1956, when British troops evacuatedthe Suez area. Seventy-four yearsof frustrated hopes are conclusive informing the psychology of a people.The only effective platform for anyAsian-African leader has "anti-colonialism" and "anti-imperialism" as itscentral planks. In that psychology, itis possible for Nasser or Nehru evento embrace the Communists, on theformula that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Indeed, Churchillsaid something of the same in 1942,when he found himself allied withStalin against Hitler. The Arab-Israeli situation wouldrequire a full article for itself. Heretwo moral rights collided head on. Inthe process, they reversed theircharges and became two moralwrongs, as two aggressive nationalisms. The Jews of the world had amoral right to find a place of refugeagainst extermination by the westernChristians, a place which they themselves could control. The Arabs hada moral right to live in and to control the Palestine in which they livedand formed a numerical majority.From the 1916 western promises tothe Arabs and from the 1917 BalfourDeclaration to the Zionists, the westhas refused to face the issue and todefine what was meant by "the establishment in Palestine of a nationalhome for the Jewish people," whichwould not "prejudice the civil andreligious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine." Theseequivocal words lay across the sceneuntil the British withdrawal fromPalestine on May 14, 1948, by whichtime thirty-one years of failure toreconcile the conflicting rights hadmade both Zionists and Arabs firmin their own feelings of righteousness.The State of Israel was then set up,it was recognized by the United Nations and the United States, but neverby the Arab states, it defeated theArab states in combat, and there havefollowed seven more years of troubled uncertainty and the failure todefine the problems and find a modusvivendi for the Near East.In our present nightmare, we seethat the military victors in Sinai andthe Suez have lost, whereas defeatedEgypt has emerged as a winner. Themoral force of President Eisenhower'sstatements and of the United Nations'action has given Nasser a justification. To the nations of Asia andAfrica he appears as the martyredsymbol of anti -imperialism. He isable to set his own terms and conditions to the agents of the UnitedNations far more firmly than the invading and victorious nations can do.The Soviet Union has also gainedadvantage by the ill-advised activityof the invaders. Russia was clearlypleased that she could return brutallyinto Hungary, under the pious claimthat what she was doing was not asbad as what Israel, Britain, andFrance had done.

TheUniversity of Chicago Press re-issues a lost heritageTHE BAY PSALM BOOKA passionate desire for freedom toexpress their religious viewsbrought the Puritans to these shores.It also led them to become authorsand publishers of America's first book,The Bay Psalm Book. They created itin 1640 because they wanted to singthe Biblical psalms in a manner thatwould give expression to their particular form of Congregationalism.This little -known book has justbeen re-issued in facsimile form bythe University of Chicago Press. Published with it is a companion volume,The Enigma of The Bay Psalm Book*by Zoltan Haraszti, keeper of rarebooks at the Boston Public Libraryand an authority on The Bay PsalmBook.Few people have ever seen The BayPsalm Book. Of the 1,700 copiesprinted by the Puritans on their ownpress, only eleven copies have survived, and of the eleven, only fiveare complete. These five are carefullyguarded by their owners and are notimmediately available for public useor examination. For this reason, thePress arranged to publish a facsimileof one of the copies — that owned bythe Old South Church in Boston andkept by the Boston Public Library.Because of the scarcity of existingcopies, The Bay Psalm Book — in itsoriginal printing — is among the mostcoveted and valuable pieces of literary property in the world. At a publicauction in 1945, a copy was boughtfor $151,000, one of the highest auction prices paid for a book in the English language.The story of The Bay Psalm Bookgoes back to the beginnings of theProtestant Reformation, when Lutherintroduced the singing of psalms bythe entire congregation instead of bya choir alone.With the translation of The Bibleinto the vernacular, metrical translations of the psalms appeared whichFEBRUARY, 1957 by Sheldon Samuelswere sung at home and in the fields,engendering a feeling of unity thatbecame one of the most importanttools of the Reformation.Attached to England's Book ofPrayers, published in 1562, was a metrical version of the psalms initiatedby Thomas Sternhold and completedby John Hopkins. Neither of thetranslators was among the foremostpoets of the era, but their work waseasy to sing and it was often printedas an integral part of The Bible.The pilgrims were among the firstto become dissatisfied with the Stern-hold-Hopkins version of the psalms,not because of esthetic shortcomings,but because "the translation was toofree."A new and stricter version was prepared by Henry Ainsworth, pastor ofthe English Church at Amsterdam.This was the version that the Pilgrimsbrought to the New World, where itremained in use at Plymouth untilthe end of the colony.The Puritan founders of the [Massachusetts] Bay Colony had been broughtup on the Sternhold-Hopkins version,yet, like Ainsworth, they felt it hadshortcomings. They sought the Lord'sordinances "in their native purity."The fact that Plymouth had a satisfactory psalm book made it even moredesirable that the Bay Colony shouldhave one of its own.JL he puritans were anxious to emphasize their differences from thePilgrims. They came to New Englandnot as Separists from the Church ofEngland, but, in their own words,from "the corruption in it." So, partlyto illustrate their differences from thePlymouth Church, partly to expressthemselves as exponents of "Non-Separist Congregationalism," the Puritans joined together in a communaleffort to create their own metrical —and singable — versions of the songs of David.In the year 1638 a printing pressarrived from England, and in 1640the Massachusetts Bay Colony produced the first English book printedin North America, sub-titling it, "TheWhole Booke of Psalmes FaithfullyTranslated into English Metre."In this new facsimile edition (whichtogether with the companion volumesells for $10), each page of the originalbook has been carefully reproducedby the photo-offset process. (TheTwenty-third Psalm, as reproduced inthis process, is shown at left.)Today's reader will find in thesimple and straightforward translations of the book the quaint poetrythat reflects, even three centurieslater, the simple dignity and faith ofthe men and women who, in the firstdifficult years of colonization, plantedthe seeds from which a nation grew.In these Puritan psalms will also befound the care, the purpose, the cooperation that were the characterizations of the people themselves.Zoltan Haraszti makes an importantcontribution to an understanding ofThe Bay Psalm Book in his companionvolume. He discusses such mattersas the attitude of the early Puritanstowards music, the Calvinistic demandfor literal accuracy in all translationsof The Bible* and the authorship ofthe theological tract that serves asthe book's preface.There were no musical annotationsin the book; the psalms were sung toa wide variety of tunes with matchingmetrical systems. However, from thepsalms one is able to catch some ofthe flavor of the music of early America, as well as of the Puritan psalmody.Issuance of this facsimile editionmarks an important contribution toAmerican letters, and provides thereader with a first-hand acquaintancewith the cultural and religious aspirations of our Puritan forefathers.15Quadrangle Controversy :Are Chicago Girls Pretty?JL here's been a controversy raging onthe quadrangles for the past few monthsthat we feel called upon to get into.Here and now we state our position:University of Chicago girls are pretty.Furthermore, University of Chicago girlshave always been pretty.The feelings of most women students oncampus were heavily trod upon in theNovember 24 issue of the Maroon, in whichundergraduate Ray Caparros set forth hisviews of Chicago girls. Mr. Caparrosminced no words:"/ am beginning to see why Macbeth issuch a favorite at the University of Chicago. Where else would it be so easy tofind three hags to play the 'witches ?"Like true Chicago students, the girls tookup the challenge. The next issue of theMaroon ran a spate of letters heaping coalson Mr. Caparros' head.Signing herself "one of the beauties"Ellen Grilickes wrote:"... If the boys would only pull theirlong noses long enough out of their booksand sniff around, they would see somelucious (sic) speciments (sic) with all thetrimmings . . .

Why not bring back girls?"The controversy raged on through several more issues of the Maroon. Finally,six girls from Green Hall tossed the gauntlet back to Mr. Caparros:"We do not believe these were faircriticisms and would like to personally invite Mr. Caparros to the Green Hall coffeehour, 9:30 P.M., Thursday. At this timewe will endeavor to prove that his objections were unfounded."While the Green Hall girls wait for Mr.Caparros to come see for himself, we takeadvantage of our back files to back up ourposition.

They willdiscuss opportunities for training for business at thecollege level."Don't Lower Standards" Cautions WiltThe way to train the teachers needed now, and for the"colossal" number of students in the future, is not throughlowering of standards of university degrees, says NapierWilt, AM '21, PhD '23, Dean of the Division of theHumanities.Dean Wilt spoke before 279 graduates at the University's 272nd Convocation on December 14, the second convocation of the current academic year. Hisaddress was titled, "Higher Degrees and Lower Standards."Overcrowding of schools is only their most obviousdifficulty; incompetence of too many teachers is theserious problem, Dean Wilt said."Two things can be counted on in the years to come:One is that the country will never be free from the problem of the large number of young people to be educated.The other is that we will be harrassed by people witha slick solution, many of them well merchandised andnot a few quite beautifully gift-wrapped."Dean Wilt said that the greatest point of attack forthe plans probably will be the present Ph.D. training."The argument will run that there are many potentially superb teachers, who because of the narrow, specialized Ph.D. training do not wish to — the word is never'cannot' — do graduate work. Some will say, let us adjustthe Ph.D. to them."Another argument will run that though the Ph.D.does not always prevent those who have it from becoming good teachers, it does not in any way help them."Dean Wilt explained that only a small part of a Ph.D.'straining is in a narrow, special field."To believe that a student who does his dissertationon Milton is trained to teach only courses in Milton, orat best in seventeenth century authors, is idiotic," he said."I am quite sure that the Humanities Division directsits Ph.D. training not only toward research but also toward teaching," Wilt continued. "I doubt if any graduatedepartment believes its Ph.D.'s are in any sense of theword specialists in any field. The best it can hope to doStephen Lewellyn PhotoA light coat of snow enhances the pattern of an openwork iron sculpture of the globe, seen from a second-story window in Rosenwald Hall, opposite Swift Hall.FEBRUARY, 1957 NEWS OF THEQUADRANGLESAN INFORMAL REPORTis to train them so that it will be possible for them to understand well thesubject matter of a part of the largerfield and to train them in techniquesof research and give them standards."Without this background it is notpossible for a man to become a goodcollege teacher, or even a really first-class elementary teacher. I have become convinced that the better scholars are almost always the betterteachers."There is, I am afraid, not theslightest doubt in the world ,that im*the next quarter of a century thelargest crop of badly trained teacherswill be produced that has ever beenunleashed on our innocent young."Let us not contribute to the number," Wilt urged. "Let's not ourselveshave any part in this degradation ofour own profession. Let us see to itthat when we send into a high schoola teacher with a University of Chicago M.A. we also send a teachertrained in his subject matter as wellas in teaching techniques."When we award an M.A. let it befor competence. When we award aPh.D. let it be for honest achievement and an original contribution toknowledge within a certain field ofscholarship. If we continue to dothis, I think we will be making thebest contribution we can make toremedying the present 'teacher shortage'."Ten to Phi Beta KappaTen University graduates havebeen honored with election to PhiBeta Kappa, national honorary society.

First Goldstine LectureThe first of a lecture series honoring the late Dora Goldstine, Professorin the School of Social Service Administration, and national leader inmedical social work, was given onJanuary 8.Dr. Milton Terris, Assistant Deanof Post- Graduate Education in theUniversity of Buffalo medical school,spoke on "Concepts of Social Medicine," in the University of ChicagoClinics.A former president of the AmericanAssociation of Medical Social Workers, Miss Goldstine was a member ofthe University faculty for 20 years.She died in January, 1955.Educators hear KimptonDistinctions between the liberal andthe vocational are of no great difference when education is properlyconducted, Chancellor Lawrence A.Kimpton told the Southern Association of Colleges and SecondaryScHpols recently.Liberal education should be eminently practical and vocational education should be thoroughly cultural,Kimpton said. He spoke at the Southern Association's sixty-first annualmeeting in December, which had asits theme, "Education in an Expanding Economy."Pointing out that an expandingeconomy historically has producedincreased interest in education, Kimpton said there also is a sharpeningof the distinction between the pureand practical, the cultural and theapplied."Those who make the distinctionbecome passionately fond of it andend up by insisting that distinctionimplies hopeless division," he told theconference. "It is my radical suggestion that this old distinction betweenthe liberal and the vocational is adistinction without a division wheneducation is properly conducted."I suggest there is a very high correlation between business success andthe ability to think clearly and broadly and to express oneself with clarityand succinctness. What better systemof training could be devised for thedevelopment of these skills than ourcurriculum in the liberal arts? Thecomplexities of our modern industrialsystem in an expanding economy demand those very qualities which a liberal education is designed to produce."No educator can condone low-levelvocational programs that limit themselves to the mechanics of a trade,but such training need not be givenin that way, Kimpton maintained."Not too long ago our professionalschools began as primitive centersfor vocational training. Law, oncetaught through apprenticeship in anoffice, as now taught at our betteruniversities is a rich cultural experience, drawing upon history, philosophy, psychology, and science."Surgery began in the barber shopand general medicine with witchcraftand old wives' tales. It is in our owntime that medical schools have cometo draw upon the biological and physical sciences, and even art for theirsubject matter. Engineering, oncetaught in trade centers, today at agreat institution such as M. I. T. becomes almost indistinguishable frompure science."Through some vagary of ourthinking, knowledge in its purity hasbeen separated from its applications,and we tend to revere the former anddemand the latter. We too easily forget that most of the knowledge wenow possess had practical origins.The application of that knowledgewhich originated in application canbe, and indeed, in the process of education, must be as noble and as cultivated a calling as the generation andtransmission of pure knowledge itself," Kimpton said.Allotted A.

They should be toldthat they will be examined medically,given food and shelter and transportation. They should also be told howmany refugee camps there are, andwhere they are.'Our government can assist wherever possible in re-locating thesepeople, but it should not be a directgovernment project. Rather, let it behandled by the welfare agencies.Make it a community project."Once they arrive here, the majoremphasis should be to make use oftheir real abilities in the right place,Dr. Coggeshall feels."Those who don't speak English arebeing sent to Bard College, Annan-dale-on-Hudson, New York, for language instruction. They are beinggiven the brief, intensive type oflanguage training which was employed by the Army during the war,to help our soldiers in new countries."At that time, we should determinetheir abilities, investigate their backgrounds, and find the suitable placefor their talents," he said."If they go to college, I think theyshould preferably be sent to a schoolwhere there already is a Hungarianstudent. Let them be paired off, andlet the experienced one help thenewcomer to adjust.""Above all," Dr. Coggeshall said,"let us create an atmosphere of independence for them, and avoid everypossible way of propagandizing them.Let them be absorbed into the community. And don't subject them toany group lectures or communitysings. After all, the best medicine isan antidote, and they need a completerelief from that sort of thing."Dr. Coggeshall, who is back at hisdesk in Billings Hospital after a yearwith the Secretary for Health, hadthis to say about the government'srole in medicine:"My feeling is that certain areasin the field of health go beyond thecommunity and the state. There arecertain things that just will not betaken care of by local communitiesor private interests, and the government can step into these areas."However," he cautioned, "the roleof the government should be confinedFEBRUARY, 1957 27to stimulation and guidance: it shouldnot take over duties for the city, stateor private interests."I think it can help by doing research to identify a problem, and thenby setting up a demonstration projectto show how to deal with the problem."For example, take the problem ofthe older person. We are accumulating more and more elderly people ata rapid rate, a harvest we have reapedas medical research has developedways of saving more young people,and found more ways to deal withchronic disease."I think the government could setup a demonstration project to showhow we can transfer the older personinto an activity where he can stillutilize his talents at a reduced rate, sothat he can still be a wage earner."The government could also workwith the state to help the individualmake better income and maintenanceplans for when he retires, Dr. Coggeshall feels."I think we could accomplish agood deal if the government would gointo a community and demonstratehow all of this could be done," heconcluded. ¦A LOOK AT MARS(Continued from Page 9)1971. From mid- August through mid-September, Dr. Kuiper studied theplanet with the 82-inch telescope ofthe McDonald Observatory of theUniversity of Texas, which University of Chicago astronomers staff under a cooperative agreement.Closest planet to the earth, Mars isslightly larger than the moon, with adiameter of 4,200 miles. Unlike themoon, Mars travels in its own orbitaround the sun and is surroundedby an atmosphere. But so thin isthis atmosphere that temperatures inMars' tropics range from 50 degreesabove zero, Fahrenheit, at noon, tominus 120 at night. ¦NASSER WINS(Continued from Page 13)ganin and Kruschev could smuglypoint out that the anti-imperialistwarnings which they had given dur ing their Indian tour were now glaringly confirmed by the two westernempires. It is clear that the Asian -African peoples, out of their basicpsychology, are much more repelledby the Anglo-French invasion thanby Russian savagery in Budapest. Apoor and unstable country, like Syria,eagerly accepts the helping hand ofthe Soviets, thus offering Russia anew entering wedge into the strategicNear East.Great Britain and France are obvious losers. They did not succeedin repossessing the Suez Canal or inejecting Nasser. They face difficulttimes of austerity, chiefly in the lackof oil. They damaged the confidencewhich they had enjoyed with theirAmerican ally. France will probablysee a stiffening of Arab resistance inNorth Africa. Britain has sufferedirreparable damage within her Commonwealth, from Canada throughPakistan and India to Burma.Israel, after a lightning militaryvictory, has lost. Because she hasproved her strength, she can nolonger cry out that she is weak, encircled, and bullied. By her initiativein crossing a frontier she has damaged any hope of a peaceful settlement with her Arab neighbors. LikeSamson, blinded in Gaza, Israel haspulled the house down upon herselfas well as her enemies.It is true that the United States,by using its good offices, has gainedsome new regard in world circles.However, now we are forced to bailout our NATO allies, with shipmentsof oil and the restoration of theirdamaged prestige. In the Near East,we must assume the difficult role ofthe middleman, with all the resentment that an agent between twoangry parties has to undergo. Wemust now walk a tight- rope, shakenat both ends by demanding nations.The independent action of Britainand France could have been a deathblow to the United Nations. Instead,because of American support and thevigor of the Secretary General, theUN has the chance to emerge strongerthan before, if its intervention in theNear East has some measure of success. Both Budapest and Suez suggest the sharpness of the alternatives:either unilateral and forceful actionto gain individual ends, or the recourse to an international agency tostraighten out troubles. In the Suez problem, the UN and the UnitedStates have agreed on the way 0fpeace, rather than the way of thesword.Another factor emerged in the bitter month of November. That is thevoting power within the UN of thelittle nations. They have seen theSinai -Suez issue voted out of the Security Council into the General Assembly. In the General Assembly theyhave become dramatically consciousof their united voting strength. A blocof little nations, commanding at leastsixty per cent of the vote, can exerteffective control over the big nations,who enjoy a veto power only in theSecurity Council. In democratic principle, this is good. It has the dangerthat this voting bloc will regularlydominate the big western nations,particularly Britain and France, because of the emotions stirred up lastOctober.Finally, the United Nations, by effecting a cease-fire and withdrawalin Egypt and by clearing the passageof the Suez Canal, will only do apatching job. The structural weaknesses remain in the Near East, tothreaten new crises in the future.Lester Pearson of Canada was rightwhen he insisted that the UnitedNations should address itself to thetwo fundamental problems of the future of the Suez Canal and the Arab-Israeli struggle. These are difficultand dangerous problems. The SuezCanal question has phrased itself asEast vs. West, as little nation vs. greatpower. Despite numerous commissions of inquiry, the contest betweenArabs and Zionists has not beencourageously faced for more thanthirty -five years. The compassionaterecognition of right on each side mustbe defined as the basis for the peacewhich the world needs so much.In these difficult problems, theUnited Nations is the one trustedagency that can bring about a peacebased on justice. An initiative by theAmerican government, at the moment when it has wide world backing and confidence, would be essential to start the good offices of theUnited Nations. We, as individualAmericans, must pray for guidancein this tangled maze and must supportany initiative which promises to workfor the fundamentals of peace andmutual respect among nations. ¦28 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE(Continued from Page 23)a recent book, Methods in PersonalityAssessment, which provides a newbasis of predicting which individualsare most likely to be successful inspecialized studies, such as science ormathematics.

In addition, an extensive Advisory Sub- Committee will be formed.Often referred to as "the architectof the atomic age," Enrico Fermi isperhaps best known as the first manto achieve the controlled release ofnuclear energy. His classic experiment in this field was carried out atThe University of Chicago where, onDecember 2, 1942, the first controllednuclear chain reaction was demonstrated. Other of his many achievements include studies which led toartificially produced radioactivity andto the control of thermal neutrons, used in several types of modern powerreactors. In 1938 he was awarded theNobel Prize "for his identification ofnew radioactive elements producedby neutron bombardment and his discovery, made in connection with thiswork, of nuclear reactions effected byslow neutrons."Drama ContestThe 1957 nation-wide contest forthe Charles H.
