B., Poll IndicatesStudents in the College are sharply split over plans toabolish the Ph.B. degree and instituting a compulsory B.A., apoll taken by THE CHICAGO MAROON disclosed this week.A sampling of students revealed that 58% favor continuanceof the degree and that 42% favor abolition. Almost 80% ofthe students in the College now receive the degree.The faculty is expected to vote on a measure to abolish thedegree sometime in February.Benefits of the Ph.B. as expressed by the poll were thoughtto lie mainly in the direction of divisional preparation; the ful¬fillment of divisional sequence requirements, and the short¬ening of later advanced work. A number of students expresseddissatisfaction with current courses required for the B.A., andothers felt that the compulsory degree would be a severe lim¬itation to “freedom of choice.”Those opposing the degree believe that it is contradictoryto the liberal education theme of the College, and oppose anyspecialization as an undergraduate.THE MAROON editorially has already announced that itopposes maintaining the degree.

Oncethe rivet is in place, an electricallyheated riveting iron is applied to thehead. This fires the charge. Instantlythe entire rivet shank expands to fill thedrilled hole, and the large, barrel-shapedhead which is formed on the blind endof the rivet locks it there to stay.Explosive rivets are ideal for high¬speed blind riveting, and for riveting inhard-to-get-at places. Since in many in¬stances they permit simplification ofdesign and more economical production,thoy have many uses in the automotive,refirigeration, and other fields.Behind the rivet—researchIn itself, the explosive rivet appears tobe a small and insignificant object. Cer¬tainly its size does not reflect the effortand research needed to bring it to itspresent state of effectiveness.Yet selection of the proper metals forthe rivet required prolonged study byDuPont metallurgists. Determining thetypes and mixtures of powder was anassignment for DuPontexplosives chem¬ists. Design of the riveting iron calledfor the skill of Du Pont electrical engi¬neers.

I. DU FONT 01 NIMOUaS A CO. (INC)WItMtNOTON DO, MNLAWAMPage 4 THE CHICAGO MAROON Triday, January 25, 194^EditorialsA PlaHofm for Action NowThe editors of THE MAROON are cynicaland tired with the muddle-headed adminis¬trative mismanagement of student activitiesand extra-curricular life. The University re¬fused to^ face the issue despite repeated warn¬ings during the war. Today, with hundredsof G.I.’s literally hanging down our Gothicdoors, the University has been caught hope¬lessly unprepared. 'Student activities as commonly conjuredmean a million-dollar student union, and ahuge University program including intercolle¬giate football, a large functioning fraternity-sorority system, a professional Universitynewspaper, a dozen select University organ¬izations. Chicago’s tradition included all ofthat. It also includes a democratic extra¬curricular program of a high level of excel¬lence, with adequate facilities and Universitybacking.During the war years that program col¬lapsed. But the University has sought no re¬placement. Its puny efforts have been mean¬ing less, lacking in clarity and decision. Ath¬letics are virtually dead; the fraternities havebeen killed in the college on the grounds thatthey conflict with the residence program; Uni¬versity publications are tragically unrepresent-ative of a great American utiiversity; music.political, dramatic, religious groups pale^ncomparison to intelligent, thoughtful programswhich have been charted elsewhere. There isno well organized miscellaneous extra-class-room recreation. The result is the extremeatomization of the campus; the feeling amongstudents that the University cares for nothingbut an endless parade of classes, lectures, andlaboratories. The climax is that Chicago istending to produce only academic automatons. and is failing to infuse alert, thoughtful leadersinto society.To solve the problem, the University hasappointed one investigating committee afteranother. Each report has been carefully pre¬pared, read, and equally carefully pigeon-holed.Recently the University has appointed JohnM. Yarnelle as Director of Student Activities.His appointment is a frank admission that aproblem exists. It is to be hoped that he willnot be hand-tied as his predecessors havebeen; that he will be forearmed with Univer¬sity policy assuring support of extra-curricu¬lar activities.THE CHICAGO MAROON believes thatthe University should end its hypocrisy andonce and for all announce that it is either foror against student activities. A policy ofdrifting indifference can only lead to chaos.Once the decision is made, the Universityshould be willing to assume the consequences.THE MAROON further believes that oncesuch a policy is enunciated, a council shouldbe established among the heads of every activ¬ity in the University; irrespective of its sizeor function. Such a council will have no pow¬ers; it will be primarily a sounding board ofstudent opinion, and a liaison between activ-ities tind the adminisration. The Inter-organization Council now organized presents sucha nucleus; it should be formalized and ex¬tended.A responsibility is finally incumubent uponthe students of the University to aid in solv¬ing the problem. No solution will be adequateif it is lacking in student initiative and sup¬port.The moment for action is overdue.is Means YOU!Campus apathy^ particularly by long-time resident students,toward the housing shortage is incredible. This University,which officially has never troubled itself about decent housingfor its students, now finds itself plagued by the problem.The housing dilemma affects you—and you—and you inthat:7 The number of students in the University will radicallyaffect the calibre of teaching you receive. Classes are alreadyoverburdened because of the inability to find nearby residencefacilities for faculty members, many of whom commute to the’North Side.* 2 It will determine the type and quality of student activ¬ities offered at the University. If money is being channeledinto the search for housing, it will not go into activiUes. Ifstudents lack advantageous living conditions, greater emphasismust be placed on programs centering on the Quadrangles.3 It is a dollar-and-cents proposition. If the Universityrefuses to admit veterans it will be the subject of immediateattack by every veterans’ and civic organization in America.The University will be discredited; you will be the victim.MORAL: Call the Housing Bureau, the Bursar’s Office,if you know of any available room.Ollji?

DeAmicieReveille for Radicals is one ofthe greatest sounding boards fordemocracy that has ever beenpublished. With clear-cut ex¬amples of organizational methodsand how they should function,Saul D. Alinski outlines the vari¬ous techniques of organizingpeople in this book.He believes in action throughorganization. Individuals havelittle power to cope with socialproblems as such but in a body,they may exert influence on anymajor issue.A distinction between^ “radical”and “liberal” is given in the firstpart of the book. Alinski definesthe Radical as “that unique personwho actually believes what hesays. He is that person who holdsthe common good as the greatestpersonal value.” “Liberals likepeople with their heads. Radicalslike people with both their headsand hearts. Liberals fear power orits application, whereas Radicalsprecipitate the social crisis by ac¬tion—or by using power.”Radicals Not FoolsIn defense of Radicals, Mr.Alinski states, “Radicals contraryto public opinion, are not fools.Although they have been regardedas crackpots and crowned with thevilest of opprobriums, the historyof man has vindicated them as thewisest of the wise.”Alinski places the salvation ofdemocracy in a People’s Organiza¬tion. This organization is a com¬munity organization to promotethe welfare of all peoples—“re¬gardless of race, creed of color, sothat they may all have the oppor¬tunity to find health, happinessand security in the democratic wayof life.”Discusses Labor-Industry FallaciesThe author is impartial in hisviews on the fallacies of both or¬ganized labor and industry—forboth have blundered considerablyin treatment of the people. He dis¬cusses the unions that block newmethods of invention and some ofthe unions that during the warpracticed and are still practicingracial discrimination. In summing Abe KrashEducational andOtherwise . . .Milton Mayer, self-styled publicist and man-about-the-imi«versity, recently revealed in a piece written for one of thecountry’s big*ger slick -magazines, that Robert M. Hutchinshad spurned a bid to become director of the German reeduca¬tion program.This is not the first time that it has been reported that others areattempting to induce the Chancellor to leave these Gothic confines.At one time, and Mayer is said to vouch for this tale too, Hutchinswas sounded out by the Democratic, party as a running’ mate forRoosevelt. Hutchins’ recent address to the PAC, in which he lambastedBilbo and Hannegan et al in the same breath with Tah and NAMwould not ride well with the party politicos. Therefore, it would ap¬pear to be a safe bet that the Chancellor will never die in a politician’sbed.The PAC message wa.s, by the way, one of the more intere.stingpublic episodes in Hutchins* banquet-table lecturing career. Educatorsare notoriously unpopular among the politicians who regard the educa¬tors with a mixture of fear, envy, and bluff skepticism. WoodrowWilson was a frequent butt of academic puns, as was Roosevelt in theearly ’30’s, when he was denounced for surrounding himself with “wildand wooly brain-trusters.” Hutchins has taken the position that eduia-tion should be a critique of society, a member of no party and criticalof all. Such an attitude is reflected in his proposal for scholais tomeet here to draft a world constitution.Educating the public and the politici.ans is nothing nAxy fp Hutcliin^For sixteen years the University of Chicago has been a leader in theadult education movement and the plan for nationwide expan.sion ofthe great books may well prove itself to be one of the most significantintellectual movements of our time.In the la.st analysis it is perhaps well that Hutchins turned downthe bid to de-louse the Germ.an mentality. We may fear the Germansword; we would have greater reason to fear a nation of dialecticians.One of the finest tales to comeout of the war -on the A-bombproject is that told about thescintillating genuis of Enrice Fer¬mi, the small, inconspicuous wiz¬ard of atomic-fission.The story goes that Fermi wasonce traveling to Washington byplane with Arthur Holly Compton,Nobel prize winner, former Deanof the Physical Sciences here ahdnow Chancellor at Washington Uni¬versity in St. Louis, and WalterBartky, well known astronomercurrent dean of the Physical Sci¬ence Division. Compton noted thathis wrist watch was losing time andhe attempted to formulate an ex¬planation. Fermi postulated that* air pressure on the balance wheelretarded the timepiece severalseconds for each hundred feet ofaltitude. Reaching into a sidepocket, he took out an envelope,scrawled several entries on theback, and then told Compton thatso many seconds were lost eachhundred feet.Compton and Bartky later veri¬fied the altitude, took precise bear¬ings and attempted to reach thesame answer. It took the Nobelprize w inner and the astrophysicistone night a week for a month ofpuzzled bewilderment to determineJust how Fermi had arrived at thesolution!Suggestion Bureau: Libraries ih the Universities in recent weekshave been overcrowded because of the influx of new students andbecause many find their temporary living quarters unsatisfactory foracademic work. But libraries which close at 5 p.m. Saturday arelocked tightly until Monday morning, though hundreds of studentsare eager to avail themselves of the facilities Sunday afternoons.Education is a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week proposition and thereis no earthly reason why the central libraries at least, particularlythe reading rooms and key reserve sections, cannot be made availableto students on the weekend.Hear, hear, Librarian Ralph Beals!up his section on Labor, Alinskiremarks that “The hope of organ¬ized labor does not in the lastanalysis rest in its labor union. Itrests on an organized, informed,participating, ever fighting Ameri¬can people.”Saul Alinski has been called “Red,” “Rebel,” and “Radical” bymany of the “right people,” but ifthis book is any gauge of Mr.Alinski’s character, I bow to himand say in all sincerity, “Thankyou, Mr. Alinski. Your book mightwell be called Reveille for Ameri¬cans.’*The Ballet...G«t off my f^t, you clumsy lout.Friday, January 25, 1946 THE CHICAGO MAROON Page 5Yard District Brightened by UC SettlementBy FAYETTE KRUM MULROYOne of the best opportunities for constructive student ac¬tivity is afforded by the University of Chicago Settlement, anorganization founded to share the benefits of this Universitywith the people in the back-of-the-yards neighborhood ofChicago.The Settlement House is located47th and Ashland avenueatamidst Polish, Mexican, Lithua¬nian, Italian, and Czechoslovakiancommunities. The house is run bya resident staff of twelve, two ofwhom, Everett Cope and LillianDowdell, are students at the Uni¬versity of Chicago. Assisted byvolunteer workers, many fromUniversity College, they maintaina nursery school and a play schoolfrom three to five in the after¬noon. For older children the set¬tlement furnishes two gymnasiumsfor boys and girls, and games andrecreation in the game-room andshop. It also gives classes in cook-irig, sewing, domestic arts, severallanguages including Spanish andPolish, painting, handicrafts. Dis¬cussion groups for adults are con¬ducted in the evenings, ''^’olunteerworkers are needed in all of theseactivities.Work in 1894This work was begun in 1894,vhen the University of Chicagosent Miss Mary E. McDowell towhat was then the outskirts oftown to start an organizationwliirh would bring together peopleof different environments and ex¬periences and enable them to ex¬change ideas and enrich theirlearning. Miss McDowell did more than that. She organized groupsof women to clean out tho alleys,paint the fences and houses, andmake the neighborhood more liv¬able and pleasant. She lent hersupport to a campaign for publicbath houses and persuaded the lo¬cal alderman to have the Depart¬ment of Health build them. Thebath houses are still in use, andin the summer lines of people canbe seen waiting on the steps.Since Miss McDowell had gainedthe confidence of the people andan understanding of their prob¬lems, the visiting Nurse Associa¬tion called on her to assist them incutting down the infant mortalityrate in the community. Besidesbeing of great help in this work.Miss McDowell again succeeded ina campaign to have more parksand playgrounds built in the area.In 1904 the Settlement House wasbuilt and it has been expandingever sih^e. Besides the two gym¬nasiums, the Settlement has alsoadded a summer camp of fortyacres at Chesterton, Indiana, fifty-five miles from Chicago.One of the most interesting inci¬dents in Settlement history cameabout through a friendship be¬tween Mary McDow'ell and Presi¬dent Masaryk of Czechoslovakia, They’re hav¬ing a tea partyat the Settle¬ment House.who was lecturing here in 1905.He spent many hours at the Set¬tlement House with the children,and his own daughter, Alice, livedand worked there. When MissMasaryk was held as a hostage bythe Germans during the firstWorld War, Miss McDowell wasinstrumental in applying pressurethrough certain channels whichbrought about her release. In theSecond War, w’hen Czechoslovakiawas overrun by the Nazis, MissMasaryk came back to the Bettle-ment House and lived there untilshe was able to return to her coun¬try at the end of the war.Active Board on CampusOn campus the Student Settle¬ment Board has always contrib¬uted both money and workers tothe Settlement, and before the warit was one of the most important and outstanding student activities.During the war, student attentionwas given over to war work, butthis year the Board plans to ex¬pand and again draw iLi formerstudent support. Not only has itgained many new members andvolunteer workers, but it has alsoplanned a program designed toshare the entertainment and ac¬tivities of the University with theSettlement.Year’s Contribution, $250Student contributions of moneythis year have totalled $250, ofw'hich $50 was raised at the Es¬oteric supper at the end of lastquarter. The remainder came fromthe Inter-Club Council dance, theYoung Women’s Christian Associa¬tion, and three Student Settlementtag days conducted at the begin¬ning of the Autumn quarter. TheY.W.C.A. has also been of great help in sending over volunteerworkers, and is to give a St. Valen¬tine’s Day party for Settlementchildren which will extend to themthe benefits of Ida Noyes Club¬house.Greatest praise must be given tothose who have actually giventheir time and energies to go tothe Settlement House to help inconductmg the classes, the recrea¬tion, shop work, library, and thenursery school. Those now work¬ing in the nursery school are HelenBrandenburg, Joan Beckman andIrma-Jane Busby. Working withthe boys in the gym, game room,and shop are Rosemary Hajenian,Patricia Kindahl, Lora Lee, AnneLongstreet, Donna Meyers, NatalieWells, Enid Harris, and FlorenceForbes; in the play school, MaryWheeler, and Mary Spears; in thelibrary, Ellen Lund, Helen Ny-strom, Tavia, Morgan, EleanorZuckman, Brenty Bishop, GeorgeVredis, Emily Kindur, Carol Chai-tin, and Lois Hendrickson.Need WorkersMore workers are needed, andstudents who volunteer will begreatly repaid not only by the ap-preciation of the Settlement Housestaff but also by a sense of per¬sonal enjoyment and accompli.'^h-ment.The Chairman of the StudentSettlement Board is Max Mertz,assisted by Marci Rich. The spon¬sor is Miss Marguerite Kidwell, as¬sistant director of Ida Noyes clubhouse.Judy DownsServin'ItHofDuke Ellington’s annual per¬formance at the Civic Opera Houselast Sunday proved even moredisappointing than the previousones. To a packed house Dukeperformed his perfumed suitesand rhapsoditties, leaving a com¬fortable audience assured that thiswas jazz which might be consid¬ered distinguished music, “arty”enough to satisfy their esthetictastes. The minority of jazz con¬noisseurs in the audience wereless impressed by Duke’s pom¬pous program.Greatest disappointment wras theab.sence of any of the well lovedEllingtonian classics such assparked his concert last year.Even Frankie and Johnnie, one ofthe more recent additions toDuke’s repertoire, which once helda real jam spirit, has been boileddown to a mechanistic perform¬ance.In contrast was the jazz concertof the preceding Sunday - pre¬sented by the Hot Club of Chi¬cago. In the informal atmosphereof the Moose Club (1016 N. Dear¬born) Darnell Howard and hisNew Orleans Stompers jammedfor three hours, through everyjazz classic from High Society toAfter You’ve Gone. Lonnie John¬son stopped the show with hisblues shouting on Careless Loveand St. Louis Blues. The rest ofthe band included Lee Collins,trumpet; Preston Jackson, trom¬bone; Tubby Hall, drums; JohnLindsay, bass, and Little BrotherMontgomery, piano.The Hot Club concerts are con¬stantly increasing in musical meritand financial security, and theHot Club shows even greaterpromise of being the jazz strong¬hold in Chicago for some time tocome.* * *The U. of C.

The veteran is grant¬ed the same type of service as isgiven to students and alumni.G. I. Joe, glad the war is over,but not convinced when it comesto red tape, comes in and goesthrough the mill. This mill, how¬ever, grinds him out happy, withshoulders back not from drill butfrom better knowledge of himself,with purpose and optimism. Hehas an idea of what he wo.uld liketo do but is unsure of his abilities.Robert C. Woellner, Professor ofEducation and Executive Secretaryof the Board of Vocational Guid¬ance, described in an interviewwith the CHICAGO MAROON theprocess the G. I. goes through.Gets Preliminary InterviewThe first step is a preliminaryinterview in which Joe tells aboutthe things he is interested in. Thereis no crystal-ball gazing, i.e., Joecan’t ask for a definite answer asto which vocation he shouldpursue.The whole process is dynamic.As many tests as necessary aregiven from five general types: In¬terest, Intelligence, Aptitude, Per¬sonality, and Achievement. Theresults of the cumulative tests andinterviews are refined until a com¬plete pattern of Joe’s interests,abilities, etc., emerges. This pat¬tern is compared to the interestpatterns of successful people inthe chosen vocation. If they match,Joe has the best go-ahead signalthat modern psychology has thusfar provided.Should See Advisors FirstAsked how vocational guidanceties in with the liberal educationprogram in the College, Woellnersaid that students in the Collegeshould see their advisors beforeapplying for guidance at the Board.Woellner further observed thatmany vocations are professionaland academic, and tests may helpa student to decide which depart¬ment or division to eiiLei. William WambaughThe Critic sCorner...The sixth concert of the Univer¬sity College series, oVi Wednesday,January 16, offered performancesof Beethoven’s Quartet No. 3 in D,Op. 18, No. 3, and Mozart’s QuintetNo. 5 in G Minor, K. 516, played bythe Chicago Symphony Quartet,with Charles Foidart of .the Sym¬phony as second violist in the Mo¬zart. The members of the Sym¬phony Quartet are: John Weicherand Franz Polesny, violinists; Mil-ton Preves, violist, and DudleyPowers, ’cellist.The performance of the Beetho-van quartet was, I feel safe in say¬ing without fear of contradiction,the worst butchery ever inflictedon a piece of chamber music. Al¬though the quartet was rhythmic¬ally together some of the time, thefirst violinist was persistently offpitch. The first violinist had aharsh, rasping tone which persistedthroughout the Beethoven. Theother three members played dullyand woodenly. The climax of thefirst movement, a C sharp chord,was rough and wavering.The Mozart quintet received abetter performance: at times it ap¬proached the adequate level. Thequintet was on pitch most of thetime. Mozart’s intentions, how¬ever, were defeated by the ad libi¬tum interpolation and deletion ofgrace notes, and a few assortedeighths and quarters.This column feels impelled totake ,up the cudgels for those stu¬dents who desire to follow thescores during a performance, par¬ticularly those who are attendingthis series for credit. Most of Kim¬ball Hall is in darkness during theperformance, although lights areleft on in the balcony for thosehardy souls who care to ri.skmyopia by reading under suchsub-standard illumination. It seemsto me that in the interest of purescience, if nothing els^ the lightsmight be left on during one con¬cert to determine how far they dis¬tract the attention of the manyfrom the music. After all, th(i cus¬tom of playing in a darkene*^! audi¬torium is a recent innovation—byWagner—we should be only re¬verting to pristine splendor. Final¬ly, we may adduce support fromPlato (and Ibsen) that the manyare wrong and the few are right.Fiat lux! Round 1Don't Knife Ph.B.Chemist AssertsBy PROFESSOR HERMAN J. SCHLESINGER(Professor, Department of Chemistry)Written at the Request of THE CHICAGO MAROON(Editor’s Note: This Is the first of a series of articles by membersof the faculty discussing pros and cons of the proposal to abolish thePh.B. degree in the college.) .The proposal to abolish the Ph. B curriculum is justifiableonly on the basis of two assumptions: first, that the gen.eraleducation of all types of college students can be achieved byany single rigidly prescribed curriculum, and second, that ifthis is possible, the A. B. curriculum, is the best one to attainthis end. I do not believe thatH. I. Schlesingereither of these two assumptionsis correct, and am confirmed in mybelief by the great differences ofopinion between the faculty mem¬bers between thefaculty membersmost directly in¬volved, i. e., amongthe non-divisionalcollege faculty. Inview of the uncer¬tainties which evi¬dently still exist,it seems particu¬larly inopportunenow to movetoward a single curriculum. I donot propose to enumerate all of theobjections which have been raisedto the proposal in faculty meet¬ings, nor to discuss special aspectsof either program, nor even tostate the whole basis of my ownsupposition. Instead I shall limitmyself to what I consider certainfundamental principles of generaleducation. ^For most of the students whoenter our college after the com¬pletion of a four-year high schoolcourse, and who now constituteover one half of our college en¬rollment, the abolition of the Ph.B. curriculum would eliminate allopportunity to include electives asan integral part of their collegeprogram. But the proposal to abol¬ish this curriculum has in it similarimplications for the whole college.The only guarantee that electiveswill remain a part of the full four-year college program is the defi¬nite acceptance of the fundamentalprinciple that a certain degree ofchoice in what one studies is anessential part of a liberal educa¬tion.Foster Native TalentsI believe this principle to befundamental because I am con¬ vinced that one of the major ob¬jectives of any type of educationis to develop and foster the stu¬dent’s native talents and endow¬ments. I agree that general edu¬cation should develop as fully aspossible all of the qualities aneducated person should possess; Ibelieve it equally important thatit give each student an opportu¬nity to develop to the maximumthose qualities in which he excells.A curriculum which forces all stu¬dents into the same educationalpattern cannot be effective inmeeting this objective.Adaptation of a part of a stu¬dent’s education to his individu¬ality, however, contributes notonly to his own future success andhappiness but has significance forsociety as a whole. Social and in¬tellectual progress, like biologicalevolution, results from the grad¬ual selection out of a pool of manyideas those that prove themselvesmost valuable for human better¬ment. To develop and maintainthis pool, as many different kindsof individuals must contribute asmany kinds of ideas as possible. Acollege of a great university failsin Its responsibility if the educa¬tion it provides caters to studentsof only one type of mentality, in¬terests and educational back¬ground, or if it interposes unnec¬essary handicaps to the growth ofits students as individuals. In or¬der to avoid such handicaps, thecourses required of all studentsshould not be presented from onlyone point of view, and some de¬gree of selection beyond suchcourses should be allowed.Students Must ChooseThis matter of choice withinthe college curriculum has stillanother important bearing.

Are strikes Good or Bad?Are they Honest or Dishonest? Just or Unjust?Evil or Virtuous? Right or Wrong? Harmful or** Beneficial? Answer may be made to all of thesequeries, but to none fully. No one can give com¬plete answer, save Time, and Time is not yetarticulate.How Shall We Judge?Judgments about strikes, or the FEPC, or theSoldier Bonus, or the Atom-bomb,, must not bebased on an Honest-Justice-Virtue-Goodness cri¬terion, but upon the answer to a personal andvital question: What do I want to happen? Andthen: Is this toward what I want?The history of religions, or governments, of na¬tions, and of all social movements, has shown thatsociety goes where men desire it to go, whetherthese desires have been honest, or their movementsvirtuous, just or good. Time does not wait Tormorals, nor do leaders obey scruples. We havereached a point in our social development now,where ethics and moral considerations must nolonger determine our group action, but must bere-evaluated in terms of that action.The Left and the RightThe Left, if we were to define it with threecustomary adjectives, has been called: active,iconoclastic, experimental. The Right has beencharacterized as passive, immobile, and tacitly ad¬verse to change. Neither of these ideas, of course,is true. The Right is today as closely organizedand active as the Left; Reaction has mobilized evenmore tightly, in some cases, than Liberalism. Man¬ufacturers’ associations and industrial strategyboards appear as well-heeled as our labor unions.Clearly, both sides are'lining up, both are active,both dynamic, both appealing to Truth, Justice,Honor, and in several instances, Southern Woman¬hood. Both sides claim as leading Honorary Mem¬ber—Abraham Lincoln.There is no time now for inaction. Inaction is^tself a sort of non-assented-to action, and enablesminority voices on both sides to augment, theirpositions in disproportion to their numbers.The entire citizenry is faced either with the useof democratic procedure to maintain un-democraticends, because we do not fully understand or utilize our power as persons; or, with the proper use ofour democratic methods to insure real, in-factdemocracy.Financial Interests are lining up on both sides;political opportunists are lining up on both sides;idealists and intellectuals are lining up; organizedgroups are lining up; innumerable women’s clubsare aroused to “go on record”; political parties, evenour two largest, are splitting into their divergentcategories. People are already well spoken-for; butthey are not yet aware that they are talking. Inac¬tion is indeed action, in social terms.It is an anti-climax to say: We have a respon¬sibility. Let us rather say: We have an atom-bomb,a foetal world organization, the seeds of the next—and Last—war in all our gardens; we have thechance for cosmos, or chaos. Whom do you sup¬pose it is up to, for heaven’s sakes!How Shall Wt Act?Let me return to the initial point: Where do wewant to go? For surely we are going somewhereIt was agonizing for Marx to read into each war,each famine, each scourge of his day, the suddenrise of the masses to power and freedom—whichnever came. Many students are today similarlyagonized, even by the slowness with which outCongress extracts from the Constitution the con¬cept of Minimum Wage. The much-fought FEPC,for example, will not even yet bring law into con¬sonance with the Constitution and its later amend-• ments—or with the ideas of most-dead, most-hon¬ored statesmen.Wherever we go, we must go together, takingourselves and not being led, in full understandingof the direction. The cures to the myriad diseasesof our social world come first with their diagnosis;and that is a large, articulate thing. Everyonemust understand; everyone must take sides.

A resolution pledging veteransupport to the demands of laborfor a living wage, was adoptedafter heated discussion at the sec¬ond meeting of the American Vet¬erans Committee campus chapterTuesday night.More than one hundred veter¬ans, including many women, de¬bated the passage of this and otherlabor resolutions for 90 minutes,after hearing committee reports onfive major strikes in the Chicagoarea.First Yateran StatementRussel Austin, Legislative com¬mittee chairman who prepared thereports, presented the final resolu¬tion. This is the first statement ofpro-labor sympathies to be articu¬lated by the veterans at the Uni¬versity of Chicago, many of whomare already aiding the unions invarious strategic areas.Initial resolutions proposingAVC support and assistance toeach of the five major strikingunions were defeated by a major¬ity which felt itself in concordwith Labor’s general demands butwould not give unqualified sup¬port to union tactics and demandsfor legislation.FEFC Passat UBoniinoutlyImmediate invoking of the clo¬ture rule on the now-filibusteredFair Employment Practices Com¬mittee (FEPC) Bill was unani¬mously accepted by all the veter¬ans present.

There are no dues andthe group has no outside affilia¬tions.”‘The primary purpose of theCouncil,” Wynn stated, “is to pro¬vide an intermediary between theveterans and the University, par¬ticularly the Office of the Adviserto Veterans.” He also said that theCouncil in past quarters has doneconsiderable work in problems ofpersonal readjustment and finan¬cial assistance to veterans.Actual plans for a meeting of allveterans to reorganize the Councilwill be made this week at the firstmeeting of the Veteran’s AdvisoryCommittee. This committee willconsist of two vets from each di¬vision and professional school andfour from the College. For thepresent, the members of the com¬mittee will be vets recommendedby their respective deans. Eventu¬ally a permanent Advisory Com¬mittee will be elected by the Coun¬cil to act as its executive body. summarized as follows: It is con¬sonant with the AVC Statementof Intentions; economy expansionis essential to full-employment;industry is able to pay increase inwages without increasing prices;management tactics are a. con¬certed attack on the public wel¬fare and a defiance of the govern¬ment; these tactics are a threat tothe realization of democracy inAmerican.

Brown said in a recentarticle in the New York Times.A survey further shows that byfall of 1946 there will be morethan 750,000 veterans desiring toattend American colleges and uni¬versities.Many institutions, especiallystate operated schools, have closedtheir doors to further entry byany non-veterans who are notstate residents.Women students are findingincreasing difficulty in gainingschool admission, the survey shows.During the war the proportion ofwomen to their pre-war numberrose, but now schools are placingwomen at the bottom of theircategories to be admitted.Several reasons are offered byschool officials for the conditionswhich make it necessary to limitenrollments. Teaching staffs werereduced during the war when en¬rollments dropped; educationalsupplies were not available; thebuilding programs cannot be ef¬fected and even necessary repairscannot often be made.Airfield Usedfor Housingat WisconsinA nearby airfield has been ap¬propriated by the University ofWiconsin to house its incomingveteran-students, and classes willbe conducted at the new location,it was announced last week.This new “veteran campus,” tenmiles from the university proper,is to be as much a self-containedunit as possible, offering shelter,food, classwork, study halls andrecreational facilities to the hun¬dreds of student-veterans who areenrolling.Enrollments at the universityhave been limited to veterans andin-state students, it was furtherannounced, with out-of-state non¬veterans being automatically re¬fused the chance to register.

FineTimeThe hayseed boys have goneback to the Land of the Tall Corn.They carry with them the knowl¬edge that they are one game closerto their second consecutive BigTen basketball title, thanks totheir victory over Chicago lastMonday night; but they leave be¬hind them the memory of one ofthe most disgusting spectacles localcage fans have ever witnessed.Iowa came to Chicago expectingnothing more than a short breath¬er in its schedule, a warm-upgame for future encounters. Thememory of its record-shattering103-31 triumph over the Maroonsin 1944 when Freshman Dick Ivesscored 43 points was evidentlystill fresh in the minds of Iowa’splayers and coach. Wearing theirpress notices in conspicuousplaces, the Hawkeyes were all setfor another such rout.When said rout did not mate¬rialize, when Iowa found it wasway off its usual game and wasactually being pressed by Chicago,the hayseed hicks provided Ma¬roon fans with an exhibition whichfor poor sportsmanship has sel¬dom been equalled. They arguedwith the officials, they tried topick fights with Chicago players,and they fouled flagrantly.This unsportsmanlike attitudewas not confined to one or twoplayers. Noble (the Monster) Jor¬gensen turned seven differentshades of red in arguing with oneof the officials. Herb Wilkinsonmade as good a use of the stiffarm as anyone we’ve seen sinceTommy Harmon. Ned Postels ob¬jected strenuously and physicallybecause the Maroons* Freddy De-Graw wouldn’t let go of the bas¬ketball. The Iowa substitutes whocommitted about eight fouls inapproximately five minutes gounnamed merely because of a lackof space.Nor is Iowa’s coach, “Pops”Harrison, innocent of similarIn effect it says that WesternConference coaches have a “gen;tlemen’s” agreement not to pro¬test the decision of the officials.Iowa, it is said, has strong hopesof retaining its cage title.

I agree that the averagehigh school graduate is probablynot mature enough to assume com¬plete responsibility for his furthereducation; I strongly dissent fromthe view that he is so helpless thathe should be given no responsi¬bility. Yet that will be the situa¬tion of the graduate of the four-year high school who enters ourcollege if the Ph. B. curriculum isabolished. His advisor will tellhim what to take and when to takeit; today he cannot even choosehis instructors for their names donot appear in the time schedules.Finally I am opppsed to theabolition of the Ph. B. degree be¬cause it seems to me likely to leadto too sharp a separation of oneaspect of education from theothers, and of one part of the Uni¬versity from the rest. Educationis, and should remain a unity.Neither general nor specializededucation should end with theschool years nor at any particularboundary between its variousphases. Epecially is general edu¬cation a perversion of itself if itis conceived of as something apartfrom the future activities of theindividual. If education is to re¬main a unity, each of its stepsmust have some relation to thenext step. The principle thaWeverycollege student should exercisesome choice in what he is to studyis essential to that unity. It doesnot mean that he should not par¬ticipate in general education northat he should undertake intensivespecialization too early.University Is UnityThe University, too, is andshould remain a unity.

The divisions should offercourses planned not only for thespecialist but for the college stu¬dents; the college must not forgetthat abolition of the Ph.

But what is even moreimportant, the college and the di¬visions, should each benefit fromthe wisdom and experience of theother. I have recently heardmany statements to the effect thatscholars who are interested in spe¬cialized research and study are,ipso facto, unable to take an in¬telligent interest in the college,and cannot be good college teach¬ers. I know from experience thatsuch statements are not true.As a college student in this Uni¬versity I had courses under men Visits Counsel CenterThe Counseling Center, nowestablished in a newly remodeledsection of Lexington Hall, enter¬tained 150 members of the Uni¬versity faculty and administrationat an Open House last Friday from4:00 to 6:00 p.m. The guests weretaken on a tour of the facilitieswhich include an interviewingroom, a reading room and a play-therapy room, and they witnesseda demonstration of the record-graph.like John M.

Those men werenoted scholars; they were superb,inspiring teachers who left witheach student, irrespective of hisfuture field of work, something hetreasured throughout his life. We,the freshmen and the sophomores,felt that we were part of a gieatintellectual enterprise—the wholeuniversity. I do not advocate thatwe return to the “Good old days”whose failings I recognize. I domaintain that the University can¬not afford to destroy this sense ofunity. It will do so if it allowsthe cement which now holds thecollege and the divisions together,i. e., the college sequences, to dis¬integrate in the solvent of an over-rigid college curriculum.WANTEDEITHER—A ride to' campus fromAustin five or sixmornings a week(share expenses).
