UNIVERSITY OFCHICAGO•macazmeWinter • the QuadranglesInPhotos, here and oncover: Lee Balterm an The cold and cutting winter winds and the sharply angled light of thesouthern sun characterize some of the most memorable days on the quad­rangles. The gray buildings seem even grayer, with their shadows intensi­Red to the richest black. From the residence halls across the Midway, on55th, and on Woodlawn, the students hurry in the wind to that magnet ofclassrooms, Cobb Hall. Their wild variety of caps, ear-flaps, mufHers andhoods (worn with the ease and grace of Cyrano's white plume) proclaimthis the season of Forthright individualism.And when a day is warm enough-as was one in mid-December-they stopand talk in front of Cobb. On that day they planned a demonstration. Fordays, the marines had manned a recruiting table in the Mandel Hall cor­ridor. Battle-hardened marine veterans had courageously faced questionslike "Please, sir, how can I use my philosophy major in the marine corps?"They had faced the organized opposition of the Student Peace Union( SPU ), which had set up its own table across from the marines, declaring"It's your choice: you can be drafted for WAR or you can volunteer forPEACE."On this day, at 11:30, led by a bugle blaring "When the Saints ComeMarching In," about 35 students descended upon the marines. Proclaiming"Hate! Hate!," they carried posters identifying themselves as the studentpro-war marchers. The posters: "There is no compromise, complete annihil­ation or death," "Strontium 90 is good for you, builds strong bodies eightways," "We demand a Hnal solution to the pacifist problem," "AlgerieFrancaise and guns for the Arabs," "End the human race, let missiles live."Uncertain that this wasn't completely serious, the SPU group waveringlysang 'Tm gonna lay down my sword and shield."MAGNIFICENT MEMORIAL - In thernorning mail:1:' 0 Whom It May Concern:I am taking it upon myself to inform!:Iou of the death of my father.

MADISON ST., NEAR MICHIGAN AVE., CHICAGO 2, ILL.NEW YORK' BOSTON· PITTSBURGH· SAN FRANCISCO· LOS ANGELESTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGORUSSIAN SCHOLARS - Speaking atthe first fall meeting of the CitizensBoard of the University, John A. Wilsoncommented on the International Con­gress of Orientalists which was held thisfall in Moscow. Mr. Wilson, who isAndrew MacLeish Distinguished Serv­ice Professor of Egyptology and directorof the Oriental Institute of the Univer­sity, said in part:"The Congress was started abouteighty years ago, and met every thirdyear in Europe. It had been strictly afastidious, logomachical, long-hair, andegghead conference of scholars-untilthe Soviet Union captured it. Theopportunity for a propaganda displayoutweighed the chance to show offscholarship alone. They went all out tomake a sales pitch to the peoples ofAsia and Africa."The theme was set at the openingmeeting, when our Soviet hosts wel­comed the scholars of Asia and Africaand said that this Congress of Oriental­ists had now been snatched away fromthe imperialist West and turned overto the Orientals of Asia and Africa bytheir great and good friend, the SovietUnion. Let the Orientals and Russianspursue the study of the Orient, unim­peded by the domination of the West."N ow it is true that the Congress washeld at the time of the greatest anti­American propaganda in Moscow, thetime of the trial of the American flyerPowers. We read about three otherAmericans picked up in Russia foralleged spying activities. So it was nota comfortable time to be in the capitalof the Soviet Union. But my point isthat it was not only a hostility to theUnited States; it was a formal hostilityto all scholars of the West. If a Japaneseor a Swiss or a Russian scholar comesto Chicago, we give him a scholarlywelcome. We show him the work ofour Institute. We take him into ouroffices and sit down and talk about ourwork and ask about his work. We havea luncheon or dinner for him. To myknowledge, not one Western scholar­American, British, French, etc.-was in­vited by our Russian host scholars totheir offices, their institutes, their homes,JANUARY, 1961 NEW S 0 F the quadranglesor to a scholarly social get-together.Some of the Russian scholars may havewanted to do so, just to learn what weare doing and thinking in the West. Itseems clear that they had a directivethat they must not do so."The Soviet strategy of cuttingthemselves off from the West and align­ing themselves with the Orient back­fired in two respects. In the first place,their lack of cordiality certainly droveus of the West into each other's arms,so that I now feel closer to some ofthe French or West Germans in myfield. In the second place, there wasone big lack at the Congress of Orien­talists: an intended huge delegationfrom Red China never showed up inMoscow. The present difficulties be­tween the Soviet Union and China ledto the cancellation of the Chinese dele­gation, which seriously damaged theRussian claim of solidarity with thepeoples of Asia and Africa."TAXES FOR EDUCATION-Roald F.Campbell, professor of education anddirector of the Midwest AdministrationCenter of the University of Chicago,believes that the federal governmentshould bear one-third of the total costof public education. According to Mr.Campbell, "We need to recognize, con­trary to rumor, that the federal govern­ment is the most economical tax col­lector we have, local government is themost wasteful. Moreover, in to day'seconomy, many of our tax resources arenot available to local and state govern­ments. Only through federal funds canany part of these resources be used foreducational purposes."Mr. Campbell made this statement atthe 1960 Convention of the NationalSchool Boards Association in Chicago.His address was on "Policy Implica­tions of the National Defense Educa­tion Act." Three titles of the Act, whichbecame law in September, 1958, haveparticular application to public ele­mentary and secondary schools. Recently the Midwest AdministrationCenter of the University of Chicagoconducted a survey of public schoolofficials and school boards on their atti­tudes toward the NDEA, Mr. Campbellsaid. In 28 cities which responded tothe survey, he pointed out, six schoolboards were firm supporters of theNDEA, thirteen supported with reser­vations, six took no position officiallybut their districts were participatingand three boards rejected the Actcompletely.Taking into account the impact ofthe federal education law and otherrecent developments, Campbell offeredthe following observations on educa­tional policy:-Overall national education plan­ning will continue to increase.- In addition to state and local re­sponsibility in education, there must besubstantial federal participation.-Federal funds should be channeledthrough state agencies and provide forgeneral, not specific aid.-Money needs for education requireextensive federal funds-as much asone-third of the total cost of publiceducation.- There is a need for a coordinatedpolicy for education at the federal level."Perhaps, a blue-star commissionneeds to be created to examine cur­rent national policy for education," Mr.Campbell said. "With or without sucha commission," he concluded, "our na­tional policy should be raised to thelevel of consciousness and its contentshaped in terms of our objectives andin recognition of the conditions of thiscentury."STORM WARNING-Chester W. New­ton, '46, SM'47, PhD'51, assistant pro­fessor of meteorology at the University,has been named to head the new Na­tional Severe Local Storm ResearchProject, with headquarters at KansasCity, Mo. The project is a joint effortof the Weather Bureau, Air Force, Fed­eral Aviation Agency, Navy, and Na-3tional Aeronautics Space Administration.Mr. Newton has been on the facultysince 1947. .LINEAC-A major cancer-fighting facil­ity in the U. S. Atomic Energy Com­mission "Atoms for Peace" programhas been put into clinical operation atthe University. The modern equip­ment, built at a cost of $450,000 pro­vided by the Atomic Energy Commis­sion, gives doctors and scientists thegreatest degree of control ever achievedover the penetration of high energyrays in medical use.This 25-ton assembly of elccjronicengineering produces an invisible pen­cil-thin beam of electrons travelingnear the speed .of light which canimpede or destroy the growth of can­cer cells. This sharply defined beammoves back and forth across the can­cer treatment area. The new facilityis called a microwave linear accelera­tor (Lineae ) . It is loca ted in theArgonne Cancer Research Hospital onthe University campus. The hospital,which the University of Chicago oper­ates for the AEC, is the first in thenation to be devoted completely tousing the growing knowledge of theatom for understanding and treatingcancer.Eight years of design, engineering,construction and testing went into thecomplex equipment. Even before the50 x 30 foot sub-basement room hous­ing the machine in the hospital wascompletely finished, but after a seriesof animal experiments had been made,a small number of cancer patientswere treated.The new facility can achieve a peakenergy level of 60 million electronvolts, but a level of 50 million electronvolts is its normal operating maximum.With this energy, 'the Lineae is oneof the most powerful sources for radia­tion now in existence for cancertherapy.«Power alone was not the primarygoal in constructing this linear accel­erator," said Dr. Leon Jacobson, direc­tor of Argonne Cancer Research Hos­pital. "We now have effective controlbetween 5 million and 50 million elec­tron volts."The precision and accuracy of thenew machine are unprecedented," hesaid. "Radiation delivered to the can­cerous growth is regulated preciselyas to amount and volume of tissuetreated. The machine gives the doc­tors using it a degree of control whichbetter safeguards healthy tissue. Wecan now treat growths in certain areas4 without fear of damage to nearbysensitive organs."Dr. Jacobson, who was Director ofHealth on the University of Chicagoatom bomb project during World WarII, said the linear accelerator alsowould be used in other scientific proj­ects related to cancer research. Hereported that one "unexpected benefit"·of the electron beam therapy usingthe scanning technique already hasturned up. He described that benefitas "a relatively low skin reaction tothe radiation even though the under­lying tumor receives a dose as highor higher than in conventional radia­tion therapy.""There are several theories to ex­plain this effect which are now beingevaluated by the scientists at theArgonne Cancer Research Hospital,"Dr. Jacobson said.Lester S. Skaggs, professor of med­ical physics, has headed the team ofscientists and technicians working onthe Lineae since 1952, when the firstcontract for components was let. Work­ing with him has been Associate Pro­fessor Lawrence H. Lanzl. As youngmen, they worked together on de­velopment of the atomic bomb. Whenthe war was over, they continued towork as a team on the peaceful appli­cation of atomic energy.Drs. Skaggs and LanzI designed theunique mechanisms for beam controland scanning which deliver the radia­tion to the tumor site with the accu­racy of a pencil tracing. This ingeniousapplication of the principles of physicsand engineering has excited muchinterest in scientific circles throughoutthe world.LAIRD BELL-Laird Bell, JD'07, hon­orary trustee of the University, receivedthe 1960 Award for Community Serv­ice, from the Chicago Chapter of thePublic Relations Society of America,on November 22.Mr. Bell, senior member of the Bell,Boyd, Marshall and Lloyd law finn ofChicago, was cited for his efforts overa period of more than 40 years to en­courage support of private higher edu­cation by corporations and businessmen.It is the third such award given bythe chapter to "a private citizen who,as a volunteer civic leader, has effec­tively used the principles and tech­niques of public relations in behalf ofa significant community cause."Mr. Bell's numerous articles andspeeches laid the philosophical andlegal foundation for corporate contribu- tions to colleges and universities whichnow total $150 million annually, anddemonstrated the effective use of thetechnique of sound public relations insupport of a community cause.Among Mr. Bell's public services'cited by the award committee was his]chairmanship of the board of trusteesof the University and of Carleton Col-Ilege, membership on the Board of Over­seers of Harvard College and his workas chairman of the board of NationalMerit Scholarship Corporation.OTHER HONORS-Clyde W.

He was honored forhis contributions in the field of reac-tions of ions in solution. IMr. Taube also recently received aresearch grant of $50,000 from the Pe-Itroleum Research Fund, which is ad­ministered by the American Chemical.Society. This unsolicited and unre-Istricted grant-in-aid to the Universityfor Mr. Taube is given to support re-Isearch by an outstanding scientist se­lected for past accomplishments in basicresearch in the petroleum field. It canbe used for any purpose during a period.of six years in any field of pure sciencewhich may afford a basis for subse­quent research directly connected with Ithe petroleum field. .Professor Taube is internationallvknown for his work in the mechanismTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOof inorganic reactions which has led tobetter understanding of natural· forcesthat produce changes in matter.

Stan­ley Bennett, new dean of the Divisionof the Biological Sciences of the Uni­versity, was the, principal speaker atthe annual meeting of the Board ofTrustees of. the University Cancer Re­search Foundation on December 1.At the meeting Dr. Bennett was in­troduced to a Chicago audience for thefirst time since his appointment as deanwas announced last October 5. Dr.Bennett will take up his duties as deanon January 2, succeeding Dr. LowellT. Coggeshall who has been appointedvice president for medical affairs.Dr. Bennett remarked in his speech,"We have need for more springs offundamental discoveries which mayprovide us with decisive breakthroughsin the cancer problems. We have needto create and strengthen many streamswhich will develop the knowledge de­rived from these discoveries as theycan be applied to the special problemof malignant disease. And finally weneed to have the trained physicians, theequipment, the hospitals and the specificknowledge which will permit these dis­coveries and their refinements to beapplied individually for the benefit ofpatients and for the prevention ofmalignant disease in the population asa whole."Speaking of the Foundation, he said,"It is heartwarming to see how this in­telligent group has recognized both the importance of the mobilization of avail­able knowledge and skill for the benefitof patients and the necessity of increas­ing our store of knowledge by researchat the basic science level."He concluded, "I pledge myself todevelop and extend this work to thegreatest extent possible. I shall payparticular attention to the developmentof new springs of basic science knowl­edge which may provide us with break­throughs. . . . It is an inspiring ex­perience to join you in this worthwhileenterprise here in Chicago."CANCER RESEARCH RESULTS-AUniversity of Chicago cancer researcherhas observed a striking diffeTence be­tween the fate of a female sex hormonein sexual tissues and in other body tis­sues. Elwood V. [ensen, professor inthe Ben May Laboratory for CancerResearch at the University, reports thatthe estrogenic hormone, estradiol, re­tains its chemical identity in animalsexual tissues which are stimulated togrow while other tissues quickly convertthe estradiol into different compounds.These findings provide insight into themechanism of hormonal control ofgrowth, a problem which this laboratoryhas been studying for the past 10 yearsas a lead to more effective cancer treat­ment.A form of radioactive hydrogen(carrier-free tritium) was used by Dr.Jensen and his associates to tag estro­gen and study its metabolic fate inexperimental animals. In order to carryout this research, the Jensen group de­veloped special methods which are ableto measure and identify quantities ofestrogen as small as one picogram-atrillionth of a gram. Such sensitivity is necessary since estrogenic hormonesexert their biological effects in whatJensen calls "fantastically small doses."The scientific team, including Drs.Herbert I. Jacobsen, James W. Flesher,and Narendra N. Saha, observed thatin non-sexual tissues, such as liver,kidney, adrenal, muscle, bone andblood, the hormone seems to be quicklyeliminated, with the maximum incor­poration of hormone reached within 10to 15 minutes after the estradiol is in­jected into the animal. Within 15 min­utes, the liver has changed the estra­diol into a variety of different com­pounds. On the other hand, growth­responsive sexual tissues, such as uterus,vagina and pituitary, absorb and retainthe hormone for as long as six hours,with practically all of the estradiol re­maining in its original chemical form.Theorizing that cellular membranesmay be the sites of action of the hor­mone on sexual "target" tissue cells, thegroup presently is determining wherethe hormone becomes localized withinthe cellular structure, and exactly whatit does there to promote tissue growth.PUBLIC AFFAIRS-Establishment ofthe Public Affairs Conference Centerat The University of Chicago was an­nounced this fall by D. Gale John­son dean of the Division of SocialSci�nces. Mr. Johnson named RobertA. Goldwin, lecturer in political sci­ence and former director of researchof the American Foundation for Poli­tical Education, as director of the newcenter."The purpose of the center," ac­cording to Mr. Goldwin, "is to meetthe need for bettering the interchangeof ideas and knowledge between re­sponsible men of affairs and m�n w�odevote their lives to study. TOpICSDR. SKAGGS AND MODEL DEMONSTRATE LINEAe.JANUARY, 1961 5SQUIRREL LIFEWITHIN THE plmTECTING WALLSOF THE HOME OF ACAMPUS COP6 to be discussed at meetings held sev­eral times each year will bear on mat­ters of importance to the welfare ofthe nation, and will have as a maincharacteristic an immediate relevanceto present political life."Mr. Goldwin said the meetings willbe designed primarily to serve theeducation of the participants ratherthan to produce joint statements orreports. The center will, however, fromtime to time publish papers arid booksrelated to its purposes. A faculty ad­visory committee has been set up forthe Public Affairs Conference Centerwith Leo Strauss, Robert MaynardHutchins Distinguished Service Pro­fessor of Political Science, as chair­man. Other members are Joseph Crop­sey, assistant professor of politicalscience, and Herbert Storing, assistantprofessor of political science.Mr. Goldwin says the first confer­ence planned by the center will beheld this month. Its topic will be"Federalism."SQUIRRELS-Henrietta Herbolsheim­er, director of the student health serv­ice, yearly writes students via the pagesof the Maroon about fraternizing withthe squirrels. "The Health Servicewould like to issue a word of cautionabout this association, even thoughsome .may hold that in a free countrythe choice of companions is a personalmatter." Dr. Herbolsheimer admitsthat squirrels are nice, "but they occa­sionally bite the hand that feeds them."However, when a campus policemanrecently discovered a baby squirrel witha broken leg in the main quadrangle,was he inclined to notify Dr. Herbol­sheimer, or take it into the lab for arabies check-up? No, he took it homeand raised it as a pet.This campus policeman can well lookforward to the respect and affection ofthe students, for as one wrote in theMaroon way back when the subjectfirst arose years ago:· "Nothing com­pensates for the inferiority feelings astudent feels on campus like the powera student feels with a peanut in hishand before a hungry squirrel."PHILOSOPHY CHAIRMAN - ManleyH.

Hisanswer, drenched in Florentine irony, was "Quarantottomilioni, circa." (About forty-eight million.) This magnificentleveling of his countrymen who, if they are not actually com-posers imagine themselves quite capable of advising com­posers, stands in splendid contrast to the attitude someAmerican composers are likely to assume in front of thesame question: The American will probably rail againstthe public's belief, as he sees it, that composers are somekind of magicians. He would wish the public to believe thatthey, the composers, are men like all the others who ariseat a reasonable hour, breakfast, retire to their work, eventu­ally bestow some affection on their wives and children, and,in short, perform the everyday tasks of the world.And it is true-these men are like everyone else-everyoneelse, that is, who can imagine in advance what a one-hundredpiece orchestra should and will play-like everyone else,who can create and develop abstract structures in soundthat in some way acquire force and meaning. Which ofthese matter-of-facters can stand in front of The Art ofFugue and say this was not created by some kind of magic.The whole concern with what the public thinks of com­posers, perhaps even what the public thinks, is simply oneof a distressingly large number of signs currently to befound on the American musical scene that clearly reflectthe musicians' concern with the "outer" things of musicallife and insufficient concern for the "inner" ones. The eternalproblems-a composer's heritage, his discovery of the self,and his accurate recording of that self-still remain theparamount problems.The wasted words complaining of the economic lot ofthe contemporary composer are another good example ofthe preference for looking out rather than in. Every musicianknows, as does practically every layman, that making aliving wage from composing serious music is now virtuallyimpossible. Some of those considered to be among theworld's greatest composers have been known to make ina year less than one hundred dollars from the sale of theirprinted music. Even Stravinsky, perhaps the most success­ful composer of all time in terms of money claims the bulkof his income is gathered from conducting rather thancomposing, although he does command stiff fees for thepremieres of his own works.The cost of the actual writing of music-the making ofscores and parts and the very expensive duplication of these-not to mention the time involved in "musical thought," issuch that no one can possibly make enough money to sustainhimself for very long. Opinion varies as to whether or notcomposers of the past made a living at their trade in anylarge numbers, but it seems very clear that extremely fewCOMPOSERSII III II III II ByMarshall BialoskyASST. PROF. HUMANITIES IN THE COLLEGE, DEPARTMENT OF MUSICJANUARY, 1961 7serious composers do now. Therefore this probably oughtnot to be the principal concern of our composers.It is indeed lamentable that of all the millions spent onserious music in this country (said to be more than the sumspent on spectator sports) so much ends up in. the pocketsof the big management agencies, the big record companies,the big performers, and so little finds its way into theprobably mended pockets of the composers. Without wish­ing to be an apologist for the status quo, one can say thusit is, (perhaps thus it always was) and while one can hopefor an improvement in the economic lot of the composer,one can hope, perhaps more ardently, for an improvementin his product. For, in all truth, he is paid for his work ina certain kind of coin, not capable of feeding his heirs anddependents, but one that in the end means more to him.That coin is his reputation and prestige in the world ofmusic, or in that strange underground area inhabited bycomposers who, by some mysterious means, seem to knowof the work of an astounding number of their colleagues.In spite of the dearth of performances of new music outsideof New York City one might venture to say there is probablynot a single worthwhile composer' today in the UnitedStates who is totally unknown, and perhaps better still,rather widely known, given the nature of his work. After all,how well-known are the leading researchers in cancer orthe best American lawyers?11111But perhaps the clearest sign of the external concernsof a large number of our composers is the striking way inwhich they have organized themselves in the pursuit of thatother coin, the payment of reputation and prestige. Mindfulof the success of American business methods, the comp05ers,or at least a very large group of them, have tended toemulate their corporate masters. Whether by design or not,a certain golden ladder of success has been established andthe elimination of a single rung may well undo an eagerclimber.The first rule is associate with a good firm. This meanschoosing the right school to attend or the right teacher withwhom to study. The eventual importance of this comes tofull fruition when the subject of employment for the buddingcomposer arises. Many schools demand the label that says,"Made in Rochester." Others usually contact the big-nameteacher when vacancies occur. On the face of it choosing agood firm sounds harmless enough, but any careful examina­tion of the creative products of, say, the music school inAmerica that graduates the largest number of compositionmajors each and every year reveals a distressing similarityof product and makes quite dear that the influence of thefirm has been attained at the cost of selling an undue amountof self in the process.During this apprentice period it is considered wise towin several prizes of. national significance available to stu­dent composers. These are the awards offered by BroadcastMusic, Inc., or the National Federation of Music Clubs andsimilar groups. As soothing as this is to the ego of theyoung composers, and Lord knows they all need it, theseprizes are not without their dangers. Recently the leadingyoung prize winner of his generation decided to stop win­ning prizes and start writing music. So unaccustomed washe to the loneliness of this life he soon surrendered hisasceticism and went back to the warmth of prizes andannouncements of victories.8 Upon graduation from the firm comes the first reallycrucial moment in the external fortunes of the young com­poser. Suddenly stripped of the mother-like protection ofhis school and teacher, now concerned with the new cropof pupils, he is faced with the dire prospects of no job,or a poor job at a small school, or if he is very lucky, a good Ijob at a good school. But what he needs most, even forthe job, is a large-size coup of some sort. This coup Usuallyturns out to be the Fulbright Award. Here the young pros­pect goes to Europe, studies with a famous composer, andhas taken the second crucial step up the ladder of SUCcess.When the Fulbright is over another crucial moment appears.If the Fulbright can be converted into the GuggenheimAward, and that to the Prix de Rome, and that to someimportant orchestral commission, our man has succeeded,at least in an external sense. There are a fair number ofcomposers who do try to go from award to award. Manv ofthese men have made, at the age of forty or less, moremoney from their various prizes than Schoenberg, Berg,Webern, and Bartok made in their entire lives, probablye:�n combinin� their total incomes as far as their compo­sitions go. ThIS has often, though not always, failed toimprove the quality of these composers' works. It may wellbe, as Charles I ves pointed out long ago, the more theyaccept from others, the less they accept from themselves.Having now won these prizes it is necessary to put into�ction another business principle and join something ratherIike a cartel. There are many such cartels in existence andthe m,embership requirements vary from group to group.The kind of music one writes may determine acceptance inone group while ability to deviate from certain social normspermits entry into another. Geography plays some smallpart in the cartel game as well as the old school tie. These:artels control certain awards and often act as jurymen toImport�nt prizes which their students win with �mazingregulanty, although not to the total exclusion of the others"it must be added in fairness.Packaging and merchandising one's product is an im­portant activity of these composers. It may take the formof t�eir publishers urging· their work on well-known per­for.mmg �roups who will play music they hate if they arepaid for It. Frequently the repertoire of these groups is thenobediently imitated by lesser-known performers. Directhouse-to-house canvassing is often used by aggressive com­posers themselves, the houses in this case being any gather­ing of musicians be it cocktail party or concert. Often thewives of the composers are used, too. They may be seenat the intermissions of concerts kissing publishers (in afriendly way) or being overly nice to potential performers.The wife generally takes the line that the world is bigenough for only one more composer and he, naturally mustbe her husband. Her obliviousness to the works of othersis so blatant it is clear her attachment to the music of herhusband is far less on musical grounds than on the groundsof the future social success she will enjoy as the wife ofa famous composer. .Aware of the importance of evaluation, the composershave attempted to direct the small segment of public opinionopen to them. Thus the equivalent of some kind of con­sumers' reports appear from various composers' groups con­taining lengthy articles in which they rather uncriticallypraise each other's work. To read these things is to get theimpression that there is a large number of really greatcomposers around. But often, as in the real consumers' re­ports, it is the unknown and unadvertised product that is thesuperior one, while the ones with the biggest collections ofclippings may have little more to offer than that.The sudden emergence, within the musical world, of oneor another of these composers is a phenomenon not unlikeTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOthe Hashing success of a new commercial product likeMarlboro or Metrecal. Often the reasons surrounding thissuccess are gratuitous as their equally flashy demise shows.One may have a mellifluous sounding name, another hasearned the passion of a well-known singer who may see inhis work a chance for her greatest success. Sometimes it isthe behind-the-scenes work of a particularly aggressiveteacher who may be, perhaps, angered at the apparentsuccess of one of the pupils of his arch rival, or it may bethat the teacher simply wishes to halt a trend in a musicaldirection considered unsound by him or her, and thuspushes someone to the front who may act as a temporarystop gap.The music of the group being discussed tends to havecertain characteristics in common, although it is by nomeans identical in all of its aspects. On the whole, in spiteof certain surface modernities, it is old-fashioned in theway it evolves. Beneath its outer covering of harsh-soundingdetails its fundamental growth is surprisingly familiar andstale. It is, however, technically adroit and almost all ofthe members of this large group have sizeable outputs.Some of the spokesmen for these composers say that whatthey are doing is a kind of synthesis. Their music is some­how a meaningful combination of Stravinsky, Bartok, Schoen­berg, Milhaud, and Hindemith. It is never made clear howthese styles, the results of lifetimes of work and the productsof very particular national and private emotional factors,can be synthesized by certain American composers of com­pletely different backgrounds and beliefs. One of this groupactually listed the factors he felt were important in his work,and they ranged all the way from the early New Englandcomposer William Billings to the Javanese gamelan orchestra,stopping on the way in this journey to pick up Frenchmodalism, Viennese dodecaphony, and Indian ragas. Ifthis isn't the summit of the external approach, one despairsand fears finding the real thing.These composers are reminiscent of Agathon in Plato'sSymposium who wanted to sit next to Socrates because hewas a wise man. "Oh, that wisdom could be infused bytouch, out of the fuller into the emptier man," Socrates tellspoor Agathon. Perhaps, too, these are the men NorbertWeiner is addressing at the end of one of the chapters inhis book Cybernetics."What sometimes enrages me and always disap­points and grieves me is the preference of greatschools of learning for the derivative as opposedto the original, for the conventional and thin whichcan be duplicated in many copies rather than thenew and powerful, and for the arid correctnessand limitation of scope and method rather than foruniversal newness and beauty wherever it may beseen. I protest ... because the people who haveelected communication so often have nothing tocommunicate."11111Standing in contrast to the group of composers underdiscussion is another collection of creators which one mightcall the "secret composers." This is a noble, pitiful, gallant,meek group that is of this select society sometimes bychoice, sometimes by chance. It must be admitted thatoften they, like Malvolio, have had+their greatness thrustupon them. Their membership in... the secret group mayhave been caused. by genuine selection in some cases, inJANUARY, 1961 others by shyness, bad luck, too much pride, or someirritating trait of character like total honesty.The external aspects of the careers of the secret com­posers resemble those of the first group discussed, but withsome significant alterations.' The secret composers havefrequently selected the right school or the right teacher,but, psychologically unable to bow before the wand of themaster or mistress, they have had to make their way aloneand without the support of the authorities. These under­ground writers have won their share of prizes, too, butsomehow their inability or lack of desire to repeat them­selves and stay on "safe" ground may act as a deterrentto their continued success in the field of awards.To some extent advertising and cartel work is not un­known among the secret composers, but here it is more amatter of protective warmth rather than the devoted seekingof reputation and prestige. They are known largely by. theirpupils, friends of their pupils, and a very small group ofperforming musicians who actually make it their businessto discover new music. The secret composers are usuallyexcellent teachers and what they lack in public acclaim isin some way compensated for by what they receive inprivate adoration.The wives of the secret composers, while certainly notuninterested in their husbands' work, usually are somewhatindifferent to It in a refreshing way. They have their owncareers or roles to fulfill, and it is pleasant to see in themsome measure of objectivity about their guardian's creativeefforts.The musical output of the secret group tends to be smallin comparison with their more aggressive and repetitivecompetitors. The difference between their first "real" piece,written at the end of their student days, and the piece theyju�t finished yesterday is often striking, a thing not easilysaid about the first group. They seek to avoid repeatingthemselves and usually work with what might be describedas caution. In contrast to their opposition, all of thesecret composers own very large waste baskets. When theirworks finally do emerge it is not uncommon to hear themsay they were "surprised" by the way the music sounded,meaning not that everything was left to chance, but thatthere was an element of risk in the composition. This groupis more interested in impressing itself and finding itselfrather than in any kind of synthesis. If this leads in somecases to preciousness or turgidity it might well lead also tothe new and the powerful which Dr. Weiner talked of.In spite of this account of the somewhat martyr-like livesof the secret composers, there is some small evidence avail­able to indicate the situation in regard to the music world'sinterest is not all hopeless. Some of those responsible forthe most important commissioning of new works have shownclear signs that indiscriminate buying is over, and that judg­ment and taste have begun to prevail. The secret com­posers are stirring more than just themselves as the musicalpublic begins to show some evidence it can discriminatebetween a bad dissonant piece and a good dissonant piece.The increasing availability of much modern music on recordswith the attendant opportunities for repeated playings andapplying the fatal test of sustained or diminished interesthas, at least in a small group, brought to the fore the firstsigns of evaluation in the public.If the time is not yet ripe for the publication of an albumcalled "Twelve-Tone Music All the World Loves" there arestill some hopeful portents. Some of the secret composershave begun to occupy important academic posts, some haveestablished theoretical supremacy, some have even had theirmusic played and liked. While asymmetrically marchingforward ( in 5/4 time) towards their millenium, let thesecret composers keep the words of the poet close at hand:"Wear your tribulation like a rose." •9Director of the Institute for Com­puter Research, Nicholas C.

While royalprotocol will have it that a royal couple should remain together in their publicappearances on foreign soil, with the approval of Copenhagen and Washington,an exception was made during this brief campus visit. In a sense, the King wentdown the modern avenues of research while the queen was taken into life asit was several thousand years ago, for, having dropped off Queen Ingrid at theUniversity's Oriental Institute museum, King Frederik viewed space age re­search at the Institutes for Basic Research."'--«/----------------------------11In the Meteorite Laboratory, the King was intro­duced. to Professor Anthony Turkevich, who showedhim a meteorite recovered in 'Hamlet, Indiana, 15 milesfrom Chicago.Mr. Turkevich explained how the amount of argon40 locked in the meteorites has revealed where theycome from. At subzero temperatures of -120 degreesF., the gas remains in the meteorites. At higher tem­peratures, it is set free and diffuses. By measuring theamount of the gas still in meteorites, the researchersin the Lab have determined that the meteorites containalmost all the argon 40 they produced since their origin.They have thus concluded that meteorites must havespent most of their time in an area where temperaturesare sufficiently cold to have locked in. the gas. Thatwould put their origin in the deep-freeze asteroid beltbeyond Mars, more than 48 million miles from earth,This area is far enough from the sun so that it is notwarmed above the critical point.The researchers speculate that the light color ofmeteorites also decreases the amount of heat they ab­sorb. Yet, in their blistering flight through the earth'satmosphere, one would expect a great rise in theirtemperature. The scientists believe that the meteoritescut through the air so rapidly that only their exterioris heated. The extremes of hot and cold may cause.these objects to shatter. A fragment surviving the fallto earth may, however, expose a frozen interior to addto the mystery of its presence on this planet.11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111Following his tour of the In­stitutes, the King joined QueenIngrid at the Oriental Institutefor tea and a reception withfaculty members and Universitystudents who have a particularinterest in Denmark and Scan­dinavia.

Hardin,ure convinced that "despite its historical«uccess, the U.S. Constitution is nolonger adequate for the modern world."They caution that no change must becontemplated which jeopardizes its centralpremise and purpose: the natural rightsof man, but they conclude we urgently needCONSTITUTIONALREFOR.M�This' article suggests certain fundamentalII changes mainly to give some structure to·the argument; but the chief need is for ahard analysis 0 f the shortcomings 0 fourConstitution which may prepare an informed'public for serious consideration of reform.This article is by Mr. Hardin.OUR constitutional system has three" grievous faultsin light of our present needs: rigid calendar ele.c�ions,inability to replace a leader who has become poltt'tcallyinsufficient, and extreme facilitation of special, local, orpartial interests. All of these have been supportableand even commendable in the past; each now holdsgreat-and together they appear to hold-fatal, dangerfor the safety of the Republic.All we have to do to appreciate the danger of calen­dar elections is to imagine ourselves in the Kremlin in1959, anticipating with absolute assurance that, in thesummer and fall of 1960 the U. S. would quadrennially"adjourn" six months to elect a President, an entireHouse of Representatives, and one-third of the Senate.What better time to start something, say in Korea andIran simultaneously, than September 1960 or 1964 or1968? Henceforth every time we safely conclude acalendar presidential election we shall have eluded abooby-trap of our own making.°A fourth defect according to A. N. Holcombe and E. S. Corwin is thedangerously personalized and (especially in foreign affairs) virtually un­checked power of the President. I agree that this is a serious problem andbelieve that the constitutional reforms advocated below would do much toalleviate it.JANUARY, 1961 There is a method superior to fixed calendar elections.Under the Parliamentary Act of 1911 Britain requiresan election every five years, but the election occurswhen the government decides to dissolve parliamentand it takes only three weeks-which is long enoughin this era of mass communication. Rather than remain­ing bound to the wheel of the calendar, we should beflexible with a similar system. Elections could be heldon our own motion. Moreover, such flexibility in ex­treme situations permits the postponement of elections,as the English did between 1911 and 1918 and againbetween 1935 and 1945-and the British emerged fromeach period with their constitutional freedoms intact.Turn now to the need for replacing leaders politicallydisabled-that is, a leader who can no longer sensewhen the nation is in mortal danger or, if he can senseit, who does not know what to do about it or cannotbring himself to do what he knows should be done. ThisConstitutional imperfection requires more discussionbecause its significance has been obscured by stressupon another undoubted flaw: the difficulty of replacinga physically or mentally disabled President. The tragicsummer of 1881 in which President Garfield lay in acoma from his assasin's bullet did not pose a threat tonational survival nor did the tragic autumn of 1919when President Wilson lay stricken and incommuni­cado. Surely we shall soon provide for relieving apresident whose infirmity prevents his autonomousresignation.But Asquith was hale and hearty in December, 1916,when Lloyd George replaced him as Prime Ministerof the United Kingdom. K. B. Smellie writes: "Asquith. . . was a great parliamentarian, who had shown inhis handling of the Parliament Act all the gifts thatpeace could demand of a Constitutional statesman.These same gifts had secured that we entered the warunited and not divided . . . But the qualities whichcould launch us smoothly into war could not teach usto weather its storms. In the Cabinet 'he waited onothers. He no doubt often averted conflict, but henever contributed a suggestion.''' He put the firstcoalition cabinet together and said that "its formationwas one of the most uncongenial jobs that he had everhad to do ... Asquith had only with extreme reluctancecrossed the boundry between the civilian and themilitary spheres .. ." In the judgment of W. IvorJennings, as a war prime minister: "Asquith was poor,while Lloyd George was a success."Neville Chamberlain was healthy when he was forcedto give way to Winston Churchill in May of 1940. SinceSeptember of 1939 the Labor Party had played the roleof a "candid friend," according to Jennings, refrainingfrom obstruction and from "embarrasing the conduct ofthe war by inconvenient debates." But with the Germanbreak-through and the withdrawal from Southern Nor­way in May, Labor went into opposition. AlthoughChamberlain unfortunately and mistakenly called on his"friends" for support and although on the division hestill had a majority, the fact of Labor opposition, thedefection of 33 Conservatives, and the abstention of 60Conservatives eventually brought on his resignation."L. S. Amery, a friend and colleague of the PrimeMinister over many years, borrowed Cromwell's ringingwords to the Long Parliament: "(You have sat too long13,here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say,and let us have done with you. In the name of God,go!' "These two experiences are full of significance for us.Such are the problems of modern government that agood and even an excellent leader in one situationmay miserably fail in another and radically changedsituation. Winston Churchill wrote of leadership: "Atthe top there are great simplifications. An acceptedleader has only to be sure of what it is best to do,or at least to have made up his mind about it. Theloyalties which center upon number one are enormous.If he trips he must be sustained. If he makes mistakesthey must be covered. If he sleeps he must not bewantonly disturbed. If he is no good he must be pole­axed." It should be clear that political and not physicalliability is the really fatal possibility. We must nowprovide ourselves a way to change horses in midstream.We can no longer afford an arrangement that, regard­less of the absolute inadequacy of our first politicalleader, we must bear with him until the next election.Third, we can no longer live with the emphasis uponlocal, special interests which stems out of the decentral­ization of our political parties, the independence (fromparty discipline and not from home-town controls) ofCongressmen, and biennial Congressional elections.Intellectually we have been nourished for years onarguments favoring independence in politics-we de­spise "rubber stamps," unless they are locally manufac­tured. We hate "partisan politics" and praise themaverick who scorns partisan leadership in order toadvance the interests of his local farm, trade, labor, orveteran's organization or simply "the boys in the backroom."Reasons for believing that we can no longer live withthe degree of local political influence inherent in ourpolitical arrangements are as follows. First, in the eco­nomic war with Russia we need to free our trade vir­tually completely. Second, we must be prepared toundertake limited wars if our best interpretation of thenational interest requires them. Third, in anticipationof the long-term, heavy drains on the national govern­ment's budget from (a) defense, including limited war,(b) assistance to domestic groups forced to makedrastic economic adjustments because of our free tradepolicy, and (c) expanded foreign economic aid, wemust have more centralized control than heretoforeover the budget which must be less vulnerable to localand partial interests. We can hardly achieve the firstand third of these ends with our present political system(remembering that to realize these ends means notmerely one or two dramatic, self-sacrificing actions butrather the development and maintenance for decadesof firm policies); but we could much more nearlyachieve them with the political changes proposed in thenext section. Although I shall not argue the question,we should also then be better able to wage limited war.Proposed ChangesHow do we concentrate political power, arm it withauthority, endow it with flexibility and hold it account­able? In the last half of the 20th century how do weapply Madison's two maxims: to enable governmentto control the governed and to oblige government to14 control itself? How do we create the formidable gov­ernmental power which the times require and stillmaintain our freedom to speak, write, worship andassociate without fear of arbitrary arrest: Constitu­tional phraseology is most important; but its real test \lies in its translatability into living understandings andarrangements so that the men who run our governmentwill be reasonably exact about what they can andcannot do-and so will we.A major problem is the presidency. The presidentshould be directly elected with the nation as his con-Istituency. He should be nominated by his party and'upon his nomination should (in consultation with theparty leadership, naturally) fill out a slate of ten other Inominees who should run with him on the nationalticket-and who would presumably be the nucleusof his cabinet, if his group wins the plurality of totalnational votes. The unsuccessful presidential candidate Iwould sit in the re-constituted House of Itepresenta- itives, lead it, and have a vote in it; the rest of histeam would also sit there, would vote there, and (as Icabinet members) would, it is presumed, soon find Ithemselves defending their policies there. The unsuc­cessful candidate would also sit in the House, votethere, and presumably make up the nucleus of a"shadow cabinet." ISome such device would maintain the direct election Iof the president and should help preserve the two-party Isystem. (Legal third parties should be empoweredto enter the race, to name their presidential candidates,and to run these men together with their nationalnominees; but it might well be provided that any partymust get at least five per' cent of the total nationalvote in order to place its presidential nominee in theHouse-and, say 25 per cent in order to place its slateof ten national nominees.)The president would retain his present powers, exceptthat the veto power should henceforth be restricted.Normally when the president's own party controls theHouse of Representatives the veto power would be inabeyance, except that the president would be enabledto veto a Congressional resolution to dissolve the gov­ernment and hold a new election-but this veto couldbe over-ridden by a simple Congressional majority:its purposes would be to avoid dissolution because ofsnap votes and also to provide Congress with an oppor­tunity for second thoughts. If, however (as has oc­curred only in 1848, 1876-in 1876 Democrats won theHouse but under the proposed system would also havewon the presidency-and 1956) the president and themajority in the House of Representatives were of differ­ent parties, then the provisions of the present constitu­tion would apply; the president would enjoy a vetoover all bills and could be overridden only by a two­thirds Congressional vote.Under the new constitution elections would be re­quired every five years (unless Congress extended theperiod in an emergency), and the major candidates forpresident as well as their ten national nominees, allmembers of the Senate, and all members of the Housewould be elected at the same time. The President shouldbe empowered to request the Chief Justice of theSupreme Court to dissolve Congress in order to have anew election. An interval of three weeks should beTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOprovided between dissolution and election. Congressshould also have the power to force a dissolution by anordinary bill which would be subject to veto whichcould be overridden by a simple majority, as noted.The Chief Justice would be empowered to grant thedissolution and presumably would grant it virtuallyautomatically, although he might develop the power toadvise, to encourage, and to warn.The major casualty in the new constitution would bethe Senate which William S. White has knowledgeablyand respectfully described in The Citadel but whichhe says could cope neither with Hitler nor with theGreat Depression. The Senate would lose its power toapprove treaties, to approve appointments, and to in­crease appropriations. The House of Representativesshould be empowered by a two-thirds majority to enacta bill over the Senate's veto or after 90 days had elapsedin the absence of senatorial action.The House of Representatives would presumably be­come the major forum of government. Probably theHouse would reorganize itself and provide for a neutralspeaker, since all the conditions would be present sothat the President and his cohorts could organize ma­[ority party control while the minority leader organizedthe other side-and hence the setting and carryingthrough of the agenda would be accomplished throughinformal partisan negotiations.The House would be apportioned according to popu­lation and would be elected in single-member districts.Congress would not only be enjoined to reapportioneach ten years but would also be obligated to create abipartisan commission to divide the nation into com­pact, contiguous, and (as nearly as is practicable) equaldistricts. Elections of national officers should be con­ducted under national law. Nominations for nationaloffice should be specifically left to the political partiesby a brief constitutional phrase. The Hatch Act limita­tion upon single contributions to and expenditures bynational parties would be repealed. (Ordinarily thiskind of thing has no business in a constitution but theimportance of facilitating the emergence of strong na­tional parties warrants it.)A new constitution upon lines like these would permitus to escape the disadvantage of calendar elections. Itwould not provide precisely for the replacement of aleader who is either physically or politically disabled;but it would establish the conditions in which his re­placement would be possible and normal. The presi­dent, henceforth, should lead the House of Representa­tives. His ability to lead would be continuously testedin an exacting political forum. Moreover, presidentialcandidates would very likely come from the House, andexperience of the act of settHng on a leader would pre­sumably teach House members how to replace oneleader with another if extreme conditions seem to de­mand it. Moreover, the proposals should continue thepresent division of the country into two major politicalparties which, however, should become strongly cen­tralized. I do not think that the power of the centralcommand of the party to deny the party label in futureelections to members who persistently refuse to followthe party's collective decisions should be placed in theconstitution but one can provide institutions which arehospitable to this development.JANUARY, 1961 IN THE NATIONAL INTERESTWould these changes re-dress the present govern­mental arrangements which greatly favor local andpartial pressures at the 'expense of decisions in thenational interest? The argument in the affirmative iscogent.The fulcrum on which a multitude of interests nowrests to move the government is the dependence ofCongressmen and Senators on the folks back home.(To be, sure, there are exceptions; moreover, manyCongressmen and Senators do not merely followslavishly the dictates of powerful groups in their con­stituency; they are themselves often identified with andleaders of such groups.) Consider the institutionalfactors now making for extreme Congressional sensi­tivity to local interests. To be elected, one must first beapproved by the party machine for the nomination; hemust still frequently fight an expensive primary elec­tion and is likely to become somewhat beholden towhoever helps defray the costs; he must then win ageneral election-involving more campaign expensesand further opportunity to incur obligations to financialangels; finally, light electoral turnouts often maximizethe influence of well-organized groups of voters whoare interested only in what the Congressman does onone or two issues.Consider now how these institutions would bechanged under the present proposals. Congressionalcandidates would be nominated by national parties andwould not have to contest a primary election; electionswould be less frequent (this assumes that usually amajority government would be produced and wouldwant to take most of its five years in office withoutrisking another election); campaigns would be shorter,less taxing physically, and less expensive; electoralparticipation would always be large (thus minimizingthe threat of a small but tightly knit group against asingle member in a light vote.) Presumably electionswould come to be widely appreciated as national refer­enda upon the party in power. In accepting the nomi­nation Congressmen would also pledge themselves tosupport the concerted party position on policy. If hefelt constrained to desert that position during the nextCongress he would not expect again to win the nomina­tion.But, critics will say, many surrenders to pressure areadministrative and not Congressional. The «voluntary"quota reduction on Japanese textiles, for example, wasapproved by U. S. Departments of State, Commerce,. and Agriculture. The Department of Health, Educa­tion, and Welfare apparently bowed to the politicalpotential of the teachers colleges respecting nationalaptitude tests. Restrictions on importations of petroleumare ordered by the President but made on recommen­dations of a cabinet committee representing Depart­ments of State, Treasury, Interior, Labor, and Com­merce. The presidential decision hiking the tariff onjeweled watches in 1955 involved the Department ofDefense as well as the Tariff Commission and appar­ently also involved suppressing or, at least, ignoringan official report which concluded that protection wasnot necessary for the reason that it was granted: na-15tional defense. Perhaps all that is required is a stifferexecutive backbone.However, the executive must live with Congress, andactions by administrators are frequently designed toplacate Congressmen who are strategically located todo them or their programs ill. Whole areas of policyhave at times been dominated by one man, as the lateSenator McCarran (who was elected by less than36,000 Nevadans) dominated U. S. immigration policy.Just as the executive must often be excused for hispart in making decisions that flout the larger interest infavor of the smaller one because the actual stimulus forexecutive action frequently lies in Congress, so alsoCongress must be exonerated. Indeed, exoneration isthe wrong word. No onus is involved. This is the waythe game ·is played. If only the world had stood still,this governmental untidiness would be supportable.Until recently our political system was cogently ra­tionalized on the ground that there could be no agree­ment on the national interest. While such argumentswere often overstated, they had a certain justification.A large part of the problem of maintaining representa­tive government was simply to articulate interests whichdid not enjoy a political weight in proportion to theirnumbers. To be sure, disagreements will remain respect­ing methods, priorities and manners of financing pro­grams; so will divergencies of group and sectional in­terest. But our problem is to construct a politicalsystem which will nourish the habits, alike in statesmanand citizen, of searching for the general interest, ofconcerting policies to fulfill it, and of loyally upholdingagreed policy positions.OBJECTIONS TO REFORMA number of more general objections to thorough­going constitutional revision in order to approximatethe British model must be considered.First, the British system is said to work because Eng­land is much more homogeneous and therefore candivide into two parties which are actually very muchalike. On the contrary, the U.S. is splintered into ethnic,racial, and sectional groups; we have strong nativisiticand ethnocentric strains which demand some kind ofpolitical expression. Consequently, we can have a two­party system only as a facade for a multi-party or multi­group struggle which goes on in Congress, in the ad­ministration, in the states, and in our society generally.This argument can neither be proved nor disproved:there are too many variables involved and relationshipsamong them are too kaleidoscopic to permit assessmentexcept in the most general and inconclusive terms.Against those who lay stress upon our heterogeneitythere are the arguments of Louis Hartz that ours is abland politics because we have escaped the conflictsgenerated by feudalism as well as the analysis of WillHerberg that the religious tensions between and amongProtestants, Catholics, and Jews are moderating andtending to disappear under the softening (and, perhaps,the stultifying) effects of Americanization." True, wehave nasty upsurges of ethnocentrism, nativism andracial hatred. But there is some reason to believe thatpolitical institutions which tend to mask these tenden­cies by forcing many interests to mass together in gen-16 eral parties also tend to disintegrate the strength ofthese bitter differences.The possible exception involves Negro-white rela­tionships. During the next decade or two the Southmay reluctantly accept a policy of integration with"deliberate speed"; but strong national parties which'vied in insisting at once upon federal enforcement of an Ientire .civil rights program for Negroes in the Southwould probably split the Democratic Party, and mightprevent majority government; an even more fatal con­sequence might be the embitterment of partisan feel­ings until they became homicidal (as they have, fordifferent reasons, in Colombia). This raises a secondobjection to the proposal for strong party government,namely (as argued most forcefully by Ernest S. Griffith)that disciplined parties would oversimplify the issuesand would confront each other with dangerous intran­sigeance. Here again, except for Negro-white relafion­ships the lessons of both the United Kingdom and theU.S. seem to me to be to the contrary: the tendency inboth countries is for national leadership to be moderateand for each party to mirror the other. The Negro­white problem, however, is deeper; it is, indeed theAmerican Dilemma. The nature of the moral dilemmahas long been clear as involving the most fundamentalconflict between our ideals and our attitudes, as beinga "struggle for the soul." Now another dimension of thedilemma is clearer. If we try to integrate Negroes fullyand immediately in our social, economic, and politicallife, we may tear our community apart; if we fail tointegrate Negroes or if we delay too long we mayirretrievably lose the respect of the non-communistworld of color. .Indeed, on this issue alone I should have rejecteduntil recently a proposal for drastic constitutionalchange. Now, however, the gravity of our internationalsituation outweighs this objection. I should hope, ofcourse, that disciplined political parties could still pro­vide responsible handling of matters as delicate asNegro-white relationships by responsible men on bothsides of the aisle. The South would lose the protectionof unlimited debate in the Senate. But the presidentialelection suggested here would deprive potential votingblocs, including Negroes, in states like New York, Mich­igan, and Illinois of much of the balance of power whichthey now theoretically hold to decide close Presidentialelections. Eventually Negro migration out of the elevensoutheastern states (where 60 per cent of the Negroesremained in 1950) will presumably dissipate the inten­sity of feelings and reduce some political tensions.Another argument which has to be considered is thatthe nature of political parties and of their relationshipsto governments prevents the U.S. from developingstrong, centralized parties. Political parties are organiza­tions which attempt to take over and run governments;therefore, they must be organized to reflect govern­ments; hence parties in the United States are dividednationally in a reflection of the separation of powersbetween the executive and the legislative and they arealso divided between the national government and thestates-with, indeed, the strongest part of the partiesresting in state and local organizations.The primary answer to this formidable objectionis that if the proposed constitutional changes are madeTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOthe separation of powers nationally would disappear.Certainly as the cold war heats up, the force of eventswill cause the operations of the national government toincrease. The stakes of controlling Washington will beraised. The constitutional changes suggested wouldattempt to provide national parties (a) by collectingall national elections into one; (b) by vesting the powerto nominate for national offices in the national parties;( c) by providing for national control of national elec­tions; and (d) by facilitating the control by nationalparties of their own finances. The power to dissolve thelegislature is also usually believed to make for cen­tralized parties. Despite the continued existence of thefederal division and the maintenance of important func­tions in state-and-local governments, I believe thatstrong national parties would emerge. Respecting theirrelationships to state and local parties, I should simply"wait and see."Still another criticism might be based on the falseassumption that the proposed reform foresees theemergence of two disciplined parties, one liberal, theother conservative, each with its set of coherent prin­ciples and with its programs logically inferred there­from and internally consistent, ready to be put intoeffect.·· According to this theory, the voter knows pre­cisely what he selects, and the legislature has a man­date only to carry out its program. The criticism is,first, that in the United States no set of coherent prin­ciples is possible-conservatives in the east want theprotective tariff; in the cotton-exporting south they wantfree trade. Liberals in the west may want to spendheavily on public power development and in the greatcities of the east and middlewest they may want publicinvestment in low-cost housing. Farmers want NewDeal farm policies but dislike New Deal labor legisla­tion. These and many other natural conflicts, it is said,will prevent development of two coherent parties, con­fronting each other somewhat according to the classicBritish model (when the model itself was not destroyedby the Irish Nationalists or, later, during the period inwhich Labor was rising and displacing the Liberals).I think that this criticism essentially misses the. point.The problem of constitutional government is to concerta policy which will get support and can be put intoeffect, and to do this with systematic accountability toa free electorate. If two parties can be maintained (andif they cannot, one important assumption of the pro­posed reform will be dashed), they should be rathermore alike than different-just as they tend to be inthe U.S. or, for that matter, in the U.K. today. Sup­posedly both parties would appeal to a shifting vote ofthe "middling sort" with a moderating effect. Certainlythe trend in Britain has been for the two parties toconverge. With luck Our major parties, even under thenew dispensation, would differ essentially in "attitude,temper, and approach."Still another objection holds that the proposed re­forms, if the crucial power to control nominations wereshifted to the national parties, would create a Congressof rubber stamps. This argument is part of a largerone, to which we return in the next paragraph, gen­erally deriding the utility of the British model. Thespecific answer is, first, that national Congressmenwhose loyal partisanship qualifies them for renomina-JANUARY, 1961 tion would still have their opportunities to criticizenascent policies, to urge modifications when policies areunder review, and, indeed, to insist that going policiesbe re-examined. Second, if it is urged that with thesechanges Congressmen would become national "rubberstamps" it ought to be admitted that Congressmen arenow frequently the rubber stamps of local interests.Third, it must be acknowledged that something of in­dependence will be lost in Congress, but it is believedthat the gains will be more than compensating: theclarification of what is in the national interest nowmakes imperative developing those institutions which,in Roland Young's phrase, "compel a Congressman tohave a national point of view."Finally it is forcefully argued that England is a poormodel. Britain blundered into the 1914-18 war andstumbled into the 1939-45 war; she has lost much of hereconomic and political leadership along with her em­pire; her economy is chronically precarious; and she isexperiencing a flight of population. Debate on thisquestion fills libraries. In brief, one has to admit manyshortcomings of historical British policy as well as inthe operation of British political institutions. But con­sidering the paucity of her resources and the vulner­ability of her position, the fact not merely of the sur­vival of modern Britain but of her continued strengthand influence is awe-inspiring. In surviving, Britain hasdone much to give substance, meaning, and protectionto civil liberties which she has also extended to virtuallyher entire population. Prominent among Britain's virtuesenabling these achievements has been the political wis­dom distilled in her constitution.CONCLUSIONI do not believe that our present institutions are ade­quate to meet our present day requirements. If we wereactually at war (as wars have recently been fought) wemight develop once more a short-run, crisis governmentsufficient to the occasion. But our struggle is different.First, it is a matter of decades, even of generations­or so we must assume. Second, the struggle is deadly,but it has a superficially disarming aspect. It is sicklied0' er with the pale cast of peace. Yet the heart knowsthat each peaceful day, filled with its humanizingtrivia, is precious and that for a livable future it isnecessary, though not sufficient, to preserve even thisweakling peace. How do we keep sanity's commontouch without losing sight of the deadly conflict or for­getting its meaning?This question must have many answers, and I havetried to say something only on its political aspect. Heremore than elsewhere we need to cut through the wel­ter to the essentials. This we can do persistently andsuccessfully only with the help of institutions whichfix the political attention of both statesmen and citizensupon the common or general interest. I believe thatonly through sweeping constitutional change can thisshift of attention come and other political defects,noted above, be remedied. .Can we do these things? If Washington, Madison,Hamilton, Franklin and some of the others who met inPhiladelphia in 1787 were alive I think that they wouldpropose a new convention to rewrite the Constitution inaccordance with OUf present needs. •17JEANNE BAMBERGER (M.A., University 'of California, Berkeley) a pupil of Arthur Schnabel, joined the facultyfour years ago.

Tugwell, pro­fessor emeritus of political science, Uof C. Doubleday & Co. Inc., 1960, 508pp., $6.95.THE PRESIDENCY: CRISIS AND RE­GENERATION: By Herman Finer,professor of political science, U of C.The University of Chicago Press, 1960,374 pp., $6.95.In these two books, two University ofChicago political scientists, one now retiredfrom teaching but not from research andthe other still active in both areas, attackone of the central problems of the Ameri­can political system, the place of thePresidency in that system and the ade­quacy of the office as presently constituted.Professor Tugwell, writing from a longand varied background as both a studentof and participant in government, devoteshis study to a historical and analyticaldescription of the evolution of the officefrom the time Washington took the oathof office in 1789 to Mr. Eisenhower's oc­cupancy of the White House for the pasteight years.On this one hundred and seventy yearjourney through the pages of Americanhistory Professor Tugwell, combining care­ful scholarship with literary style, has pro­duced a book which is both readable andinformative.Professor Tugwell's central thesis is thatthe inexorable enlargement of the Presi­dency has rested on a foundation of threerules. Two of these, the Rule of Necessityand the Rule of Restraint were introducedby �Washington, who laid the essentialcornerstone of the edifice which was to beerected. BrieRy stated these two rules are,"Restraint when possible, action dictatedby necessity when circumstances compel!"Those presidents, Washington, Jefferson,Jackson, Lincoln, Wilson and the Roose­velts, who understood these maxims, con­tributed to the proper expansion of thePresidency. Most of the others were partlyresponsible for an unwarranted and tem­porary decline of the office.In evaluating our presidents Mr. Tug­well does not disguise his antipathy forthe too democratic occupants of the officelike Jefferson or Jackson who was "a kindof manic Jefferson" who "began the dig­nification of ignorance which was to lastthe rest of the century."The third rule, introduced. by Wilsonand broadened by Franklin D. Roosevelt,is the Rule of Responsibility. "The manin the White House," writes Mr. Tugwell,"would henceforth be expected-even if hehad not been chosen because of such aqualification-to grasp and project . . .what was necessary to secure the nation's20 future-its well-being as well as its positionin the world-and to drive the Congressto its implementation, meanwhile explain­ing and persuading, carrying with him themind of the majority. Thus he must acceptthe duty of embodying in institutions thedevices and arrangements necessary to thewell-being he was asked to achieve andpreserve." The President was thus to be­come, not an administrator alone, executingthe laws passed by Congress, but ratherthe tribune of the people, expressing andguiding the national will and leadingrather than following the legislativebranch. Only under a President who un­derstood this precept can the Americanpolitical system function effectively.Can any man bear the awful burdensof the Presidency under these conditions?Is the office, as presently constituted, ade­quate to the task? The answers to thesequestions, says Professor Tugwell, would. require another book.It is to these questions that ProfessorFiner addresses himself in his book. Hisanswer is a resounding and unqualified"No!" The Presidency, as presently con­stituted, is an office no human being canadequately fill. "In the twentieth century,"writes Professor Finer, "the President ofthe United States is Chief Executive andChief Legislator and Chief of ForeignPolicy and Commander in Chief and PartyLeader and Chief of State." ProfessorFiner has also "contrived a list of quali­ties . . . essential to the office of thePresidency." One man must have the qual­ities of Consciousness, Conviction, Com­mand, Creativity, Courage, Conciliation,Cleverness, Coherence, Constancy, Charm,Conscientiousness and Constitution.How many of the past occupants havehad these qualities? "Some Presidents havehad all these qualities in high measure.Some have had but few and have had tosuffer (as the nation suffered) for lackof the rest. And once or twice, God helpus-and He must have, for we survived­we have elected men who had none ofthese qualities."What are the chances that we will findthe paragons we need? Very slim sincethere are so few men born with thesequalities and, more particularly, since ourpresent political system does not encouragethe development and emergence of thosefew who do have them. In sober truth itdiscourages the chances of such men risingto the highest office in the land.If this is true, what can we do about it?Recognize the realities of our inadequatepolitical system under twentieth centurypolitical conditions, says Professor Finer,and reform both our political system andthe Office of the Presidency'. Specifically heproposes a plural executive made up of a President and eleven Vice-Presidents,nominated by conventions and elected forfour years in elections regulated by thefederal government and separated by lawfrom all state and local elections. Allcandidates would have to have served inCongress. The President would have theright to name the order of succession, todismiss any of the Vice-Presidents, wouldretain his veto power and could resign andforce a national election (but could notbe dismissed by a vote of no confidence).All representatives and senators would beelected for four year terms on the sameday as the President and his Vice-Presi­dents, the House of Representatives wouldbe made the more powerful branch ofCongress and patronage appointments atthe higher levels would be Significantlyreduced. Essentially what Professor Fineris proposing is a fusion of party, Congress,administration and the Executive and someseparation of local and national politics.It is the great merit of these two booksthat they address themselves to one ofthe most serious problems of our politicalsystem. Professor Tugwell points to theunderlying premise of American govern­ment, that in a separation of powersscheme, each branch must recognize itsplace in that scheme and the Rexibility ofthe arrangement. If, as Justice Hughesonce said, "The Constitution is what thejudges say it is," the Presidency is whatthe President makes of it and executivepower must be adjusted to the needs ofthe times. American government, as wellas its British counterpart, rests squarely onthe unwritten understandings or conven­tions of the Constitution.Professor Finer points to the need tomeet the demands of changing times bygoing beyond the informal, unwritten Un­derstandings to make the formal changesin the structure of government which maybe required. The political feasibility ofsome of his proposals may be debatable,but he does the job the political scientistshould do, to stand apart from society, tocriticize it and to attempt to point out thepaths to the future. As Professor LeoStrauss was wont to point out in hisseminars in classical political philosophy,the great thing about the political philoso­phers was not that they had the right an­swers, but that they asked the rightquestions. If we can continue to do that,we can continue to advance toward thegoals the founding fathers set for us onehundred and seventy years ago.Milton Rakove, AM' 49, PhD'56Faculty, University of IllinoisUndergraduate Division, ChicagoMore book listings on page 22THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO01-15VERGIL V.
