However, I amstrongly opposed to those investi¬gations which are organized justto make political capital.”He thoOght that certain aspectsof the Broyles bills fitted the lat¬ter description. Ryerson also de¬plored the excessive use of thefifth amendment by personscalled before the Congressionalcommittees. “I think they shouldtell the truth and let the chips fallwhere they may. Of course, 1haven’t been in such a position,and if I were I might not be socritical,” he concluded.Qrads, get this!Printed announcements of theAugust 28th convocation will beavailable to University of Chicagograduates.

They may be ordered nowWhen asked whether he hadany particular policies hewanted to put into effect,Ryerson stated that his aim wouldbe to keep the finances of the uni¬versity on a sound basis. “It costsa lot of money to support themany instructional, scholarly, andresearch projects of the univer¬sity, and we have to keep our fis¬cal position sound enough to at¬tract new capital,’’ he added.Supports College ChangesConcerning his views on the re¬cent changes in the College pro¬gram, Ryerson replied, “I amfully in accord with the decision,(Rinehart and 1 m Part*cularly happy aboutthe way it was arrived at. The de¬cision was made by joint facultyand administration action, and theboard of trustees did not exertany pressure, although it was insubstantial agreement with thechange.”He felt that the nationwide lackof acceptance of the Chicago pro¬gram was the determining factorin the decision. “Even those East¬ern schools which are supposed tohave adopted parts of the UC pro¬gram really just pay lip service from the Information desk in thet0 b-” Administration Office.University of Chicago, July 31, 1953Local UC white collar workers ComP Schcd,llevote to affiliate with CIO unit Comprehensive examinationsfor the summer quarter will beheld on the following dates:Aug. 17Humanities IHumanities I—Special ArtHumanities I—Special MusicHumanities 3The University of Chicago Clerical and Professional Workers Union, representing manyof the white collar workers employed by UC is now in the process of af filiating with theGovernment and Civic Employees Organizing Committee (GCEOC) of the C.

Fortunately, EugeneTroobnick, as the doctor, knewhis place as a caricature andpainted a cogent picture indeed.Byrne Piven, as the drum ma¬jor whose embellished masculin¬ity seduces Wozzeck’s mistress,Marie, directed his part properlytoward Wozzeck so that its cul¬mination in an actual physicalattack upon and defeat of Woz¬zeck seemed quite in place.Of the paintings on the wallonly Marie is human—although,as the others, she is a symbol.She is weak, but she has a selfish¬ness of which she is unaware. Shepossesses love, exhibit^ fear and,like Wozzeck but unlike the oth¬ers, she is uncertain. She is, in away, a weakness in the play, forone is tempted to play her in asalmost a human manner as Woz¬zeck. Thank God (or Sills, or pos¬sibly Miss Alton’s better nature)Zohra Alton played it to the hiltof theatricallity. By makingMarie’s emotions real, but withoutthe conflict with society that isso much a part of Wozzeck, sheproduced a very vivid and dy¬namic painting, but one of whichWozzeck could always remain theviewer (although he’d pay no at¬tention to the “hands off” signsom-fm radios discounttape recorders staff3-speed phonographs faculty1 washing machines studentsI appliances1 recording tope 20%1 television sets universityI portable radios radio| nearly anything else 1149 E. 55th in the galleries). One could onlyregret that at times Miss Altonhad not full control of her deliv¬ery, so that—particularly in theviolent transitions of mood in theBible scene—her emotional vacil-lations were only shocks that anaudience will find disruptingrather than moving and meaning¬ful. jOne can easily see the impor¬tance of an outstanding por¬trayal of Wozzeck, and an out¬standing portrayal is what wasgiven. Ed Asner’s voice quality^and his very carriage, which soexhibited the oppression andwildness that shapes Wozzeck’snature—could alone produce Ahypnotic effect upon an audi¬ence. The naive certainty withwhich he pronounced the wordswhich were to repeatedly bemocked, attested to the pathosof Wozzeck’s situation. Asner’sportrayal is smooth and welltimed. The audience is alwaysaware of him; indeed, it cannotbe distracted from him. Even ifthe direction were insufficientto emphasize the importance ofWozzeck, Asner’s brilliant por¬trayal would have sufficed.The play consists of a greatnumber of short scenes, so usualstage techniques become quitecumbersome. This production usedthe barest minimum of props. Thescenery, when it was necessary,was projected — and very effec¬tively—from a slide projector, andcostumes were kept simple andunsuperfluous so that changeswere unnecessary. The drama isallowed to come through withoutdistraction.As a curtain raiser, Moony’s KidDon’t Cry, an early attempt ofdubious success by TennesseeWilliams, is being presented.Byrne Piven and Norma Ransomdo their best to make a play of itand they do quite well.This is the flrqt triumph ofthe Playwrights Theatre, a tri¬umph of which they can well beproud. Wozzeck will provide anevening of really movingdrama, such as has not beenseen in Chicago in some time.For reservations call WH 3-2272.Daniel Queen'buid your own" speaker baffle kifsACASA BOOKSTOREContemporary and ConventionalGreeting CardsAnd Choice Used Books1117 E. 55th St. HY 3-9652 Repair YourBICYCLESNOWWe specializein light-weightrepairAce Cycle Shop819 E. 55th Ml 3-2672k THE CHICAGO MAROON July 31, 1953Bar Association beginslaw center constructionConstruction of the $2 million American Bar Center beganthis week on the 60th St. area between Woodlawn and Uni- tend to join either the Longshoreversitv which was donated by UC to the American Bar men nor the National AssociationFoundation.

Here again is nocheerful chapter. The refugees’experience usually involves sharpdisillusionment. Many come withunrealistic expectations about thematerial advantages awaitingthem. Many who are realisticmust spend long months in theherd - like conditions of masscamps, months of boredom thateat away their capacity and willto do work. (Thanks to a new pol¬icy, those between 18-24 are flownto West Germany within a fewdays after their registration.)They must build a future on thestuds of a futureless past in aneconomy lacking full employment.For the skilled worker, this is nottoo tough. For the peasant, whoselife was anchored in his property,it is heartbreaking. For intellec¬tuals and artists, it means startingfrom scratch to win recognitionand an audience. But only a tinypercentage wish to return whilethe present regime has power. Asone political refugee said, “Iwould rather be unemployed inthe West than in a concentrationcamp in the East.”Do these fugitives from slaverybecome the vanguard of citizensin the struggle for freedom? It isclear that their flight deprives theSoviet Zone not only of criticalmanpower but also of importantresistance. This resistance camefrom two sources, existential andideological. A good number, per¬haps most of the refugees, werepolitically indifferent. It was thegrievances of everyday life thatprovoked their resistance.These were peasants who justdidn’t pay their full tribute, work¬ers who took home coal briquettesfrom the factory every night tobarter them for food, fellows whobeat up VoPos who tried to makeoff with their girls. Such peopletried to maneuver their privateway within the system and leftbecause this was no longer pos¬sible. They are glad to be in asociety that exacts no politicalparticipation and lets one aloneto pursue personal goals.The other type of resistancecame from those who, from Chris¬tian, bourgeois, or social demo¬cratic traditions, opposed the to¬talitarian order on principle. Theywaged conscious resistance of varying degrees, by circulatingWestern literature, hearing US-sponsored radio RIAS, boycottingpolitical assemblies, plastering upthe entrance to HO (nationalizeddepartment stores) at night, al¬though they usually belonged tothe Communist organizations im¬portant for their jobs or school¬ing.Most of these people, however,lose their resistant fervor after afew weeks of living in the West.They want to make a little moneybefore they occupy themselveswith political matters; or else theysay they are tired of politics andwant to forget it all. (In vernacu¬lar, ‘‘Of politics we have the nosefull.”)There remains a small numberwho continue to care for freedom.These people play an active rolein the efforts to send material andmoral nourishment to those whowait back home and to inform theWest about the reality of SovietZone existence. (The averageWest German is amazingly un¬aware of the lot of the East Ger¬mans.) Among them I have founda few young people, who, thoughnurtured on Nazi and Stalinist in¬stitutions, and raised by parentswho supported both regimes, havedeveloped an intellectual respon¬sibility and a dedication to democ¬racy that is astounding. To knowthis type of German is an excitinghuman event.Classified ads...Kide wanted: Ea.st (Boston) on August20. Owen Struik, BU 8-1080.Ride wanted to campus about 8:30 a m.;from 72nd and Rtdgeland.
