(Interview, April 22,1947.)“If a Negro student comes in and applies, his application will not berefused. If he is admitted, we would take him with only one proviso,that if patients object to the student’s services to the point where hecannot round -out his education here, we will have to make ‘otherarrangements’ for his clinical instruction.” (Interview, May 7, 1946.)“Difficulty has been encountered in the past when Negro studentswere assigned to clinical service with white patients. This difficultywas obviated when they were assigned to Provident Hospital.” (Edi¬tor’s note: the only Negro hospital in Chicago.) (Letter to Eva Eman¬uel, Chairman of the Anti-Discrimination Committee, January 30,1946.)“Now at the present time we do not have a working arrangementwith Provident Hospital. That was abrogated some years by the Boardof Provident.” (Interview, May 7, 1946.) ^^“The representatives of the clinical departments (except Pediatrics)were firm in their opinion that the instruction of the Negro studentin the University clinics in this phase of the program is not possibleat the present time. Dr. Francis Howell Wright, speaking for Pediatrics,was of the opinion that there would be no difficulty encountered. Chil¬dren do not discriminate and no difficulty has been encountered withany of the swarthy South American graduate medical students whohave been present in the Pediatric wards and clinics.” (Letter to Dr.E.

When the birth rate drops and more hospitalspace is available, the policy might be changed.” (Interview, April 22,1947.)—“The University Clinics admit to the hospitals all employees of the University and all students, regardless of race, when hospitalization isrequired. Other Negro patients have been admitted occasionally. Inas¬much as white patients have repeatedly objected to the admission ofNegro patients to the open wards and private rooms, Negro patientshave been adrpitted to private rooms only.” (Letter to Eva Emanuel,Chairman of the Anti-Discrimination Committee, January 30, 1946.)—“Many?

TOLD AGAINSTPRINCIPLE OF INSTITUTION TOTREAT MEMBERS OF COLORED RACE.During the year 1936, I was directedby my physician to the clinic depart¬ment of Billings Hospital for diagnosisand treatment under the direction of aspecialist who was at that period headof the neurology department.Over the phone, I was given an ap¬pointment at the institution for twoo’clock. On my arrival, I was asked atthe desk, by whom the appointment wasmade. After advising the attendant atthe desk that the appointment wasmade over phone, she consulted someperson in another department and re¬turned stating that the appointmentwas evidently made through error, asit was against the principle of that de¬partment of Billings Hospital to givetreatment to persons of the coloredrace.Being greatly shocked by this infor¬mation, I insisted upon speaking to thesuperintendent, and was advised thatthe superintendent was not in. Afterpersistent demands that I speak tosome one in authority, I was escortedto the assistant superintendent, a wom¬ an, to whom I advised that I had beeninstructed at the desk that it wasagainst the principle of the institutionto serve members of the colored race,advising that this information was notsubmitted to me when the appointmentwas arranged over phone.After submitting the leaflet Issued bythe institution as to the requirementsfor treatment at clinic in question, andcalling attention to the fact that therequiremens contained therein did notspecify any racial Identity for treat¬ment, I was told by the assistant sup¬erintendent that she sympathized withme, but being only the assistant super¬intendent she was only in position tocarry out the rules of Billings Hospitalas authorized. With this information, IInstructed the superintendent that theact was a breach of professional ethicsand one which ijs^^s’unAmerican and adisgrace to our American democracy.The following day, I was successful inrequirements contained therein did notphone who advised discourteously thatBillings Hospital was a private institu¬tion, and as such, maintained the rightto accept or reject whom they wish.

' <.X.< V 'i ' / EngineeringDevelopment of dyes requiresboth physical and organic chemistry ducibility and storage stability. A sig¬nificant Du Pont contribution to theproduction of vat dyes in optimumphysical form is called ’’turbulent flowdrowning.” In this procedure, the coloris dissolved in strong H^04 and thendiluted by a large volume of water in aconstricted tube. High turbulence ismaintained during dilution and pro¬duces uniform dye particles.In this development the work ofphysical chemists and physicists, aidedby electron microscopy, ultra-centri¬fuging, infrared and ultra-violet spec¬trometry and other modem techniques,was of major importance.The synthesis of a new dye in the labo¬ratory or even the development cf amanufacturing process from that syn¬thesis may still be a long way from therealization of the full potentialities ofthe new compound as a coloring mate¬rial. This is illustrated by the commer¬cial history of the exceedingly fastbright blue dye indanthrone and itshalogen derivatives.Indanthrone was the first known an-thraquinone vat dye and has led ton¬nage sales of vat dyes in the U.S. sinceits introduction, despite the commer¬cial use of well over 200 tyjjes. In 1901,Bohn first synthesized indanthrone byKOH fusion of 2-aminoanthraquinone,but the yields obtained were in therange of only 25-30 per cent. Becauseof the industrial importance of indan¬throne, and the low commercial yields.obtained by the original fusion pro¬cedure, a great deal of research timehas been spent in its study.Several U.S. patents record the factthat Du Pont organic chemists have*made outstanding contributions in this field, particularly by developing theintercondensation of 2 moles of 1,3-di-bromo-2-aminoanthraquinone and re¬placing the bromine by chlorination togive 3:3'-dichloroindanthrone (”Pon-.sol” Blue).’indaiitkf***•■r>dibroinoi»4«nffcr«M1,1-dibrom®t-amwaaN*i>r«g«NMMThis fixe.s the chlorine in the desiredpositions to give a product with greaterbleach-fastness than indanthrone andminimizes extraneous substitution thatalways accompanies direct chlorinationof indanthrone. The commercial yieldsof 3:3'-dichloroindanthrone now beingobtained by Du Pont are markedlygreater than those obtained by Bohnand his workers.It is just as important, however, thata water-soluble dye be made in a phys¬ical form that gives optimum shade andworking qualities, such as perfect dis¬persion, freedom from specks, rapid re- On« of tho Ihroo wings of tho Jackson Labora¬tory, whort a largo portion of tho basic rosoarchon dyos is carried on.

Further Evidence: Discrimination \at BillingsThe statements below have been ex¬tracted from an affidavit submitted bya student of the University of Chicagowho was formerly an admitting officerat the Billings Hospital Clinic forAdults. Since the formal policy for dis¬crimination against Negroes at BillingsHospital has already been described,only the more striking manifestationsof this policy are presented here.,“I worked for the University of Chi¬cago in the capacity of an admittingofficer at the Albert Merritt BillingsHospital for Adults from January, 1946to December, 1946, a period of almost ayear.“It was not more than a few daysafter I was hired when it was realizedthat I was making no distinction be¬tween Caucasians and Negroes in con¬sidering the factors which entered intoInterviewing applicants for appoint¬ments.“I learned that Negroes were not de¬sired by the hospital administration andwere acceptable only In rare in¬stances ..."”... An appointment was sometimesmade on the telephone without theAdmitting Officer’s knowledge that hewas speaking to a Negro. When theNegro catM to keep his apoplntment,he was renised in one of several ways:"... If he (the Negro applleant) hadnot seen his name on the schedule, theschedule was hidden, making it possiblefor the Admitting Officer to feign noknowledge of such an appointment, andto suggest that since appointments arebooked weeks In advance the applicanthad best go elsewhere.“On one occasion, when several ap¬pointments had been made for Negroesover a period of three days, I was askedto memorize the streets and boundariesof the Negro district on the South sideof Chicago. Anyone calling the clinicwho lived within these boundaries was‘questionable.’ The ways to make sureof the applicant’s race in these in¬stances were:1. Ask the (prospective) patient tosend in a case history when the natureof the complaint was difficult to de¬termine anyway. v2. Fill out the application previouslymentioned on the telephone, question¬ing the applicant discreetly beyondrace, and then act accordingly. Whenthe (prospective) patient was a Negro,he was refused even though he wouldhave been accepted if he had beenCaucasian.”(signed) Margaret I. AltonA POSITIVE EXAMPLEPatients Demonstrate Their Supportof Democracy in Billings HospitalI served as cliniO assistant in oph¬thalmology for a two and one-half yearperiod from 1941 to 1943 at Billings Hos¬pital. My work included, examination ofclinic patients coming through the eyedepartment and examination of hos¬pitalized patients in ,the wards in con¬sultation. The number of patients ranto ten or more a day.During the years I served at Billings,I can only recall two or three instancesin which a patient made objection tomy treating him because I am Negro.I recall that in one of these cases, wherea woman made objection, she broughther complaint to the head of the eyedepartment. He gave her no encourage¬ment, and she returned to me for treat¬ment without further comment on thesubject.Most cases of objection, If handledtactfully but without catering to preju¬dice, can result in persuading the clientto return to his doctor. In some in¬stances where there were some feelingsof protest evidenced 'jy the patients,they experienced a change of attitudeduring treatment and exhibited friend¬liness before the course of treatmenthad ended.Most of the cases under my care in¬volved having the patient return fortreatment after the initial appointment,and I doubt they would have returnedhad they objected to my race. I do notbelieve the placing of Negro doctors onthe staff of the University Clinicswould appreciably lessen the number ofpatients- Since medical students comeinto even le.ss contact with patients ona p>ersonal basis in the course of theirtraining—and since the attitudes of pa¬tients are democratic in any case—thedeterring effect on the number of pa¬tients would be even less likely. Therehave been Negro doctors at Cook CountyHospital for years. There are paying aswell as non-paying cases there, and thecase load has not been affected.There is not that personal relation¬ship between doctor and, patient atBillings Hospital as exists 'between apatient and a private physician. Oftena patient is sent to many doctors onthe staff. In this impersonal arrange¬ment, the argument that patients wouldobject to a person of another race treat¬ing them is not valid. The assignmentof patients to a doctor Is not on apersonal basis,(signed) J. M. Richardson, M.D,LYING-IN HOSPITALWhen I was admitted to the Univer¬sity of Chicago in October 1945, it wasfound upon the physical examinationrequired by the school that I was preg¬nant. I immediately placed myself underthe care of one of the physicians onthe staff of the Lying-in hospital. Be¬cause of previous abnormal pregnanciesI was desirous of obtaining the bestpossible care, hence I asked the doctorto have me confined in the universityhospital.She told me that as far as she waspersonally concerned she would like tohave me confined there, especially sinceT live in a nearby community. However,she said that this could not be donebecause it was the policy of the hos¬pital not to admit Negroes—cases forwhich one was alerted.(signed) Mrs. Ativ Bell McGee38 W. Garfield Blvd.W. R.

Apparently a sec¬tion of the student body here hasaccepted the whole battery of con¬servative arguments, designed tokeep students from throwing theirweight around in the hard strugglefor a slightly better world.The “let the grown-ups be po¬litical” argument was perhapsWTitten by a young college student.Those of us who let the grown-upsthrow us into a war they couldhave stopped in Ethiopia or Spainwill take the argument at its prop¬er worth. But the feeling that weshould stand aloof from lUS be¬cause it includes the socialistcountries of Europe is a far greater threat to student participation inthe fight for peace. Just becausethe American press and govern¬ment have accepted the Goebbelsidea of an anti-Bolshevik crusade,v;e college students don’t have tospinelessly hop on the bandwagonand ignore the far greater dangersof fascism and imperialism.The USSR and the countries ofEastern Europe define themselvesas socialist democracies; whetherthey are or not is not essential tothe success of lUS as a world or¬ganization. What is essential is therealization that these countries arenot threats to world peace, thatthey are merely concerned withbuilding their own futures inpeace, unmolested by dollar im¬perialism.We students are faced with thebarbarity and horror of another tonight.It must be with utter dismay and disillusionment thatU. of C. students will view these revelations. “How canthis be?” they will probably say. “Everything that we aretaught in the classroom is apparently contradicted andviolated by the University itself. Are the ideals of equalitygood only on paper; are they untranslatable’ in the realworld?”Those are the questions they will likely be askingwhen they read that Negroes makmg appointments at theUniversity hospital over the telephone are denied admissionwhen they appear because of the color of their skin, despitethe fact that they may even be former students; when theyread that it was decided not to admit an applicant to themedical school because “-the Department of Medicine didnot think this was an appropriate time for the admissionof a Negro medical student.”The University of Chicago round-table discussed theNegro problem on its network program Sunday, and Pro¬fessor Louis Wirth, Professor Arthur Schlesinger, Jr^f andWalter White all had high praise for the recently-issuedreport of the President’s Committee on Civil Rights. In¬cluded in the recommendations of this board, which washeaded by Charles E. Wilson, was a specific proposal toend discrimination in the administering of health servicesto the people.What would the radio audience have thought if it hadbeen presented with this evidence of racial discriminationin the University’s clinics and medical school? The inevit¬able reaction, we think, would have been the strengtheningof existing prejudices. These listeners would claim justifi¬ably that the very people who talk about doing away withracial and religious discrimination will not even clean uptheir own back yard. It’s a fine topic to talk about on aradio program and in classrooms; it’s a good subject for acommittee to study. However, when it comes to acting onyour high-sounding, professed principles, to doing some¬thing positive within your personal sphere, well, that’s anentirely different matter of course. Out come all the stockrationalizations: “Sure, I’m against racial discrimination,but I don’t want my sister to marry a Negro.” “Yes, cer¬tainly, we’re against racial discrimination, but our patientswould object to Negroes.” And so it goes, on and on, ad in¬finitum.AHENTION BURTON-JUDSONComplete Cleaning • PressingLaundry Service7?laxServing the Campus 30 Years1013-15 E. 61st St.ACROSS FROM BURTON-JUDSONPhone JHlDway 7447ilM TERESA DOLANDANCING SCHOOL1208 E. 63rd St (Nr.

Bob Smith, Harvard, vice president of internationalstudent affajrs, will represent NSA on this committee.Ralph Dungan, NSA vice-president of national student affairs, hasannounced that plans art now being formulated for holding regional,semi-rcgional, and local student government clinics. The program willbe based on the principles that (1) genuine service can and shouldbe rendered to the student community by its governing body, and (2>that this body and the process that creates it are facilities which areindispensable in our present educational system.Members of the National Federation of Canadian UniversityStudents (NFCUS) met in Kingston, Ontario, Oct. 18-20, to dis¬cuss direct exchange between* individual Canadian and UnitedStates universities, and the establishment of a joint USNSA-NFCUS committee to coordinate the program.Th addition to writing the con¬stitution for NSA, which must beratified by the student bodies ofmember schools within the nextnine months, the delegates formu¬lated a vital and thorough pro¬gram of activities, designed to im¬prove education and promotefriendship and understandingamong students of the world.The knottiest problem facingthe convention was in the accom-5 plisiiment of NSA’s stated purposeof “securing the eventual elimina¬tion of all forms of discriminatoi-yeducational .systems anywhere inthe United States.”Negro and Northern delegateswanted NSA to act on the problemof discrimination on a nationallevel, without leaving it to theinitiative of regions. Southernwhites feared that national by-lawprovisions on the elimination ofdiscrimination would impair theirregional autonomy, as well as be¬ing contrary to their state lawsand customs.

The intent ofthe programs and purposes ofNSA is to broaden the activitiesand interests of the student com¬munity. Student government is theonly all-campus institution basedon democratic principles, and be¬cause of this very character, it be¬comes the organ of the schoolthat implements NSA activities.NSA is student government oncampus—enriched, enlarged, andmade more vital.Why the importance of studentgovernment? The object of educa¬tion is one of self-adjustment oneof self-government. Student gov¬ernment offers the necessary re¬sponsibility. Furthermore, the tech¬niques important in after-schoollife. Such a training ground is es¬sential to our form of government.The Illinois regional commis¬sion of national affairs realizesthe importance of a functioningstudent government. The specificaction will be a student govern¬ment clinic, whose action will beto bring together the existing aimsand functions of governing boardson various campuses. This clinicwill be initiated by a survey ofeach school within the next twoweeks, and from this survey, theimportant things to be determinedwill be the area of student re¬sponsibility and the cooperativeprograms with the faculty.This clinic will exist for thebenefit of each college and uni¬versity. The regional commissionfor national affairs will act as asource of information for techni¬cal matters and as an agency forthe exchange of student govern¬ment programs of the variouscampuses.Specifically, if aid is needed toformulate a constitution, varioustypes of constitutions will be avail¬able as suggestive material andstudents with constitutional back¬ground may give their assist-ance.Or, if any student governmentfaces the problem of lack of stu¬dent body cooperation, the pro¬grams used in other schools willbe suggested.The desire for improved or in¬creased student responsibilitymust come from the individualschool. Each campus presents in¬dividual problems peculiar to theschool and should adapt regionalinformation to its needs. Board To MakeMore ContactsAmong StudentsBy HELEN JEAN ROGERSThe greatest force militatingagainst the development of thestudent community today is thelack of contact among studentsin different colleges. Consequent¬ly, the cultural commission of thelllinios Region during the comingyear to increase contact amongstudents in the many colleges ofthe state.To carry this out, the commis¬sion is initiating a departmentalplan in which each member schoolwill be responsible for one depart¬ment. Each school will have atleast one activity during the com¬ing year to which students in thecorresponding department in allother member colleges will be in¬vited.Chicago to Hold ProgramFor example, the University ofChicago will be in charge of thephysics program and all the phy¬sicists in Illinois schools will beinvited to the U of C to hear a lUS Sec'y VisitsCountry In '48Anhouncement has been made'that Tom Madden, secretary of thelUS (International Union of.Stu¬dents) will be coming to the UnitedStates some time in the latter partof January or early February.Madden is from the British Na¬tional Union of Students, and willbe speaking about the BNUS, lUS,WSR (World Student Relief), andgeneral conditions of student lifein Europe.Once full information is re¬ceived, the national office willwork out a speaking tour for him.All schools that would be inter¬ested are requested to get in touchimmediately with the Illinois re¬gional chairman, Sam Golden.noted speaker and to discusssome phase of the science.Artists will have a similar pro¬gram at the Institute of E>esignand sociologists at DePaul Uni¬versity.

NSA president, tour¬ed the colleges and universities ofthe Chicago area Oct. 15 to 17. Heconferred with school officials andsi)oke before student assemblies ateight schools.The broadening of responsibilityin student government is stressediti the national program, he point¬ed out, because “it is the all-cam¬pus organization that implementsNSA activities on the local level.”Cooperative action with the fac¬ulty, he added, is necessary to thenational program of improved stu¬dent government.“Students and faculty shouldnot be poles pulling in opposite di¬rections, but rather, units workingtogether for the bettering of stu¬dents,” the national president toldhis audiences. Recount History,Growth Of NSATwenty7five American students, representing 15 youth organiza¬tions and ten universities, were sent by the State Department to aworld youth conference in Prague in the summer of 1946.While attending the meeting, these delegates were deeply im¬pressed w'ith the activities of national student federations in Europeancountries. They contrasted the work of these groups with the lack ofa similar effort in the United States. The representatives saw thedevelopment of a student community in contrast to college studentscf this country who remained isolated units.Upon tlieir return to the United States the delegates called a con¬ference of campus leaders to explain to them what they had learnedabout student federations in Europe and to ask their opinions on thepossibility of forming a similar organization in the United States.700 Attend ConferenceThe seven hundred students attending the conference at the Uni¬versity of Chicago from December 28 to 30, 1946, were impressed withthe details of the progress made by a student union in foreign countriesin securing lower book'prices and train fares for students and in pro¬moting educational advancement. They decided that an a.ssociationcomposed of students of every political, religious and economic segmentof American society would be desirable.Accordingly, the conferees formulated the principles on whichthe a.ssociation should be based and elected a National ContinuationsCommittee to draw up a skeleton constitution and select a site for thecon.stitutional convention.Convention at MadisonCommittee to Meet in- DecemberPlans for affiliation with the In¬ternational Union of Students wasdisclosed. An executive meeting inChicago during December, com¬prising the chairmen of all regions,will elect the four man negotiatingteam to initiate affiliations withI US in Prague next summer.USA demands the autonomy ofits constitution in spheres of po¬litical action, but proceedings willgrant the cultural and social bene¬fits of international .student ex-ctiange to American students,V/elch explained.A tour^of Europe at minimumexpense is another project plan¬ned by NSA. Troop ships will bemade available through the coop¬eration of the State department.European countries will grant toAmerican students the same bene¬fits accrued to the student unionsof each country. These benefits in¬clude housing accommodationsand reductions in transportationrates.Another program concernsatomic energy. Welsh has obtainedliterature from the Atomic EnergyCommission, through the coopera¬tion of David Lillienthal, for cam¬pus discussion groups.Discrimination StudiedRacial discrimination presentsanother problem being undertakenby NSA. Students are going to bel>ermitted to visit schools wherepreviously they might have beenexcluded. An exchange programbetween Negro and White collegeshas already been planned.The invitation of Budapest toNSA to present a pageant ofAmerican life, similar to the onesponsored last year by Harvard atSalisberg, is in the beginningstages.“These programs are part of thebroad outlines for student partici¬pation in national and interna¬tional activities,” Welsh reported.“Regional and local divisions arethe cornerstones of programs inaccordance with their specificneeds.”•Paul Kirk of De Paul University,formerly chairman of the Illinoisregion, and Pat Baker of ChicagoTeachers College, chairman of thetour, accompanied Welsh,Give your1.

Y.,treasurer.Facts, Figures-Projectsand Their Results(^Continued from page 5)the convention asserted that theteacher is “entitled to freedom inthe classroom in discussing hissubject” and “has the right tojoin organizations whether re¬ligious, political or social.”Adopt Bill of RightsA Student Bill of Rights wasadopted which provides that stu¬dents be permitted to exercisetheir rights as citizens, includingparticipation in “local, national,and international organization.?for intellectual, religious, social,political, economic, or culturalpurposes, and to publish and dis¬tribute their views.”Among the outstanding educa¬tors who spoke at the conventionwere Dr. Homer P. Rainey, presi¬dent of Stephens College, Mo.:Dean Newhouse, Director of Stu¬dent Affairs, University of Wash¬ington, Seattle, Wash.; Dr. Ed¬ward A. Fitzpatrick, president ofMount Mary College, Milwaukee;PYahk O. Holt, director of the Uni¬versity of Wisconsin departmentof public service; Laurence Dug¬gan, director of the Institute ofInternational Education, and Dr.R. O. Johnson, of the U. S. Office of Education, on leave as chair¬man of the Depai tment of Educa¬tion at Morris Brown College,Atlanta, Ga.Although a number of existingnational youth groups, such asYM-YWCA, the National Federa¬tion of Catholic College Students,and Students for Democratic Ac¬tion, were represented at the con¬vention, they will have neithervoting nor advisory representationin NSA.Organizations OutOnly officially constituted stu¬dent governing bodies on the re¬spective campuses will send repre¬sentatives to the national con¬gresses, to be held each summer.The six full-time national of¬ficers have their permanent head¬quarters on the University of Wis¬consin campus in Madison.The national organization is di¬vided into 26 geographic regions,which have already elected theirofficers. Depending on the num¬ber of students in each, the re¬gions will have one or two rep¬resentatives on the national ex¬ecutive committee. Illinois SchoolsVote On NSAChicago Teachers College has ratified the NSA constitu¬tion and undertaken several suggested programs of theconstitutional assembly.Herold C. Hunt, superintendfijit of the Chicago publicschools, will speak under the regional auspices of the NSAFebruary 4. H4s topic will be “Student Responsibility.”The “Great Issues Club,” was formed as a part of theNSA campus program, by Richard -Lister to present faculty members the NSA plan encompa.s.sed thein discussions and debates on programs and purposes of all theirpresent world problems. The firsttopic concerned national sover¬eignty.An NSA report conceming .sug¬gested curriculum improvementshas been published. Later a studyof the comparison of programs atteachers colleges will be under¬taken by the group under the di¬rection of Harper Philbin.“Education Day,” for the NSAcultural commi.ssion of the Illi¬nois region, has been initiated byRichard Thompson through a co-opierative program by faculty .andstudents.Pat Baker has instituted a pro¬gram of assemblies to place moreemphasis upon the importance ofstudent government. She is alsoattempting to bring about a great¬er coordination of student activ¬ities and has started a trainingschool for those interested inlearning more^ about NSA.* « *Plans are being made at St.Xavier’s College for weekly re¬corded concerts of classical music,which will be presented duringlunch hour. Commentaries pertin¬ent to the music will also be pro¬vided. This activity is being .spon¬sored jointly by the Young Chris-tion Students,. Sodality, and theDivision of General Culture, withthe cooperation of the CulturalCommission of NSA. Membersfrom each of these groups willform the committee to plan theprogram and select the records tobe featured at each concert.« >0 *The Student Senate at the Uni¬versity of Illinois has authorizedthe NSA organization as a sub¬committee of the Senate. This per¬mits the NSA group to sponsorany activity which is in conso¬nance with the policies of the Uni¬versity.A talk by Dr. Malcolm Adishe-shiah, general secretary of theISS from India, was sponsored byNSA Monday night, Nov. 10. Hespoke on the problems of the Eu¬ropean and Asiatic students. It ishoped that his lecture will be in¬strumental in aiding in the WSSFdrive to be held on the campuslater in the year, since he gavevital facts concerning the culturalreorganization and needs of for¬eign students.In a joint meeting of repre¬sentatives from all campus or¬ganizations, it was decided that groups. They concluded that themost profitable way to campaignfor final approval of the NSA con¬stitution was to unite all their ef¬forts in favor of the national as¬sociation of students.The delegation has organized anactive publicity committee whichplans to publish information con¬cerning the activities of NSA.Convenfion ReportsMailed To SchoolsConvention reports have beenmailed to all delegates and deansof schools that participated inthe constitutional convention.'

The actors had a tough assignment to begin with, forcertain of Mr Keller’s assumptions are hardly valid, but they triedhard to convince the audience as well as themselves that there wassomething profound about the whole business.

The assignment—an original piece on anti¬semitism. The earnest attempt—his posing for six weeksas a Jew.The complications which result from this act allow thefilm to present an index on the problem that is superficial,in terms of social psychology, but *—uncomfortably completo, in termsof the picture’s audience.Involved is a pleasingly matureattraction between the writer(Gregory Peck) and the publish¬er’s niece (Dotothy McGuire).This provides just enough personalcomplication to reach these people otherunaffected by the larger theme.John Garfield plays the under¬standing Jewish friend—thorough¬ly, carefully, typically American,with whom both can discuss theirown difficulty as well as anti¬semitism.“Gentleman’s Agreement” waspraised for its honest productionby Time, panned for its “sillystuff” by New Yorker. Both reac¬tions find some support in thepicture, but New Yorker’s com¬plaint of frivolity finds least. Thefilm was never advertised by itsproducer as an answer to Buchen-wald or the Palestine issue. Yetthere appears to be almost nostage, from the standpoint ofdramatic representation, in be¬tween the violent extreme andeveryday discrimination portrayedin the movie.“Agreement” is done with un¬usual attention to detail. Scenesof kitchen life are faithfully andamusingly reproduced. And theplay of facial expression that takesplace when the writer meets theniece for the first time is excep¬tional in motion pictures.McGuire Does WellIn the two principal roles, Doro¬thy McGuire does herself beauti¬fully, and Gregory Peck managesto make a plausible author.A mark of fidelity is achieved inAnne Reveres characterization ofthe writer’s mother.

Yetit is almost too pious an expecta¬tion to think that, if this pictureproves a financial success, the filmCapitol will employ its mandate onother adult entertainment. *To the problem of anti-semitismitself, the motion picture versionof Laura Z.

Nazi CampsInmates of the infamous SSconcentration camps of Dachauand Buchenw’ald were not allheroes, as is popularly supposed.Professor Bruno Bettelheimer saidat a meeting of the Politics clublast Friday in Law south.Bettelheimer, a political prison¬er who left those camps to cometo American in 1939, and has keptin touch w'ith inmates since then,likened the whole concentrationcamp system to a miniature fasciststate, in which the various rigidclasses of prisoners organizedthemselves for the benefit of theSC rulers.A good share of the brutality,sadism and intercine warfare thatdecimated the inmates of concen¬tration camps was the result ofthe prisoner’s own struggle forprivilege and survival, and playedinto the hands of the SS, the pro¬fessor said.Bettelheimer is now director ofthe university’s Orthogenic School,where he is attempting to helpindividuals whose lives have beenshattered by personal malad¬justment. He charged that theSS deliberately set up conditionswhere the prisoners’ sense of in¬security and fear caused them toact as trustees of the concentra¬tion camps, and in one Instance,even to protect the SS guardsfrom the wrath of their fellowprisoners.JEANNE KORSELL SINGSTOMORROW IN CONCERTTomorrow afternoon’s Concertrime in Reynolds club will presentJeanne Korsell, young Chicago yo-rAlist, in a program featuringv^orks of contemporary composers.Miss Korsell will sing .songs com¬posed by Ernest Krenek and HugoKauder.
