Allen Wallis,dean of the business school.‘There also are some dangersings to take into account as thearea develops,” Wallis said.The study, covering the 16 yearsfrom 1940' to 1956, provides forthe Chicago area a complete setof accounts that can be compareddirectly with national data.The scholarly effort, sponsoredby the Chicago association of Com¬merce in collaboration with thebusiness school, is believed to bethe first of its kind for any majormetropolitan area. lished for economic activity in thearea.In his preliminary report uponfinishing the study, Solomon usedonly one of the years covered —1955 — to illustrate the scope ofthe conclusions.In 1955, which Solomon de¬scribed as a “typical” year, thepopulation of the six counties was6.04 million. That’s 3.68 per centof the nation’s population.Compared with the rest of thenation, the study showed that in1955, the Chicago region:• Employed 4.45 per cent of theworkers, spent 4.87 per cent ofthe nation’s outlay for consump¬tion, turned out 5.45 per cent ofthe national product and put aside7.02 per cent of the country’s sav¬ings.• Produced an average value of gross output per capita of $3,430,or 48 per cent higher than thenational average.• Received a total personal in¬come of more tham $15.5 billion,or 5.05 per cent of the nationaltotal; with wages and salaries inthe Chicago region accounting for74.51 per cent of this sum in con¬trast to the national average of68.75 per cent.• Earned a per capita personalincome of $2,551, or 38 per centhigher than the national average.• Came out with disposable per¬sonal income totaling more than$13 billion after taxes, 5 per centof the national total with personaldisposable income per capita inChicago reaching $2,228, 35 percent higher than the average forthe country.• Spent less of disposable per¬ sonal income on consumption ofgods and services — 91.8 per centcompared with 94.2 per cent inthe nation: but saved more — 8.2per cent compared with the na¬tional average of 5.8 per cent —a per capita rate of savings almosttwice as great as the nationalfigure.“Collectively,” Solomon sum¬marized, “Chicago just worksharder.”On the other side of the ledger,Solomon said the research re¬vealed how hard recessions hit inthe Chicago region.“It’s a misconception,” he said,“to believe that Chicago’s diversityof industry is a buffer against re¬cession.”IN FACT, according to thestudy, Chicago’s economy has be¬come heavily concentrated in dur¬ able goods — the villain of recentrecessions — and employment dup¬ing the setbacks falls far moresharply in the Chicago region than(see ‘First,’ page 2)’Phoenix' to holdintial meetingPhoenix magazine will holdan organizational meetingnext Wednesday at 7 pm inthe Cap and Gown office in IdaNoyes hall, according to SelmaMeyer, publisher.

The executive com¬mittee of the University ofCalifornia [Berkeley] student gov¬ernment voted 6-3 to withdrawfrom ths National Student associ¬ation [NSA].Up to voteThe committee then passed amotion directing the special serv¬ices committee of i udent welfareboard to conduct a petition cam¬paign to put the decision up forstudent approval at the fall elec¬tions. A two-thirds vote of thestudent body would be required tooverrule the government action,should the question come to astudent vote. [Students voted 2,330 to 1,232last fall against withdrawing fromNSA. In the same election thestudents voted 2,063 to 1,867 infavor of revitalizing NSA: a twothirds vote was needed for pas¬sage.]Representatives proposing thewithdrawal motion stated thatthe government had not receivedany value from NSA for the timeand money it had put into it. Theycited what they termed poor or¬ganization and confusion at lastsummer’s NSA congress.'Not representative'“NSA should serve two ends: asa communication among campusesand as a body representing student opinion, the representative said.“The only effective thing the gov¬ernment can do is withdraw; theneither NSA will be jolted into achange or a new association canbe formed.”Other arguments against NSAwere that the group was ineffi¬cient, and duplicated projectswhich “should be carried out byother groups. The basic problemsis that there is only marginal stu¬dent interest in NSA, and there¬fore it is not really representativeof student opinion.”NSA coordinator opposesIn opposing withdrawal, NSAcoordinator on the California cam¬pus cited benefits to the campusclaimed by NSA. He said dissatis¬faction with the congress was not necessarily a black mark againstNSA, but merely meant the dele¬gates “did not have the sameviews.”Other representatives in favorof alliance with NS emphasizedNSA’s influence in internationalstudent action and communica¬tion with American universities.Worth the money?Hurford Stone, dean of studentsat California, said a major con¬cern since joining NSA has beenwhether the government has beengetting “its money’s worth,” eitheridealistically or in dollars arvJcents.” He stated that virtuallyevery resolution passed by theNSA congress and presented tothe government had been defeatedby the latter group.□First definitive study of economy completed(from page 1)In the nation as a whole,** he said.Although the region is not aone-industry economy, Solomonsaid, the concentration of metal¬working industries in the area isgrowing in importance."These industries tend to behavelike a single industry during reces¬sions," he said. "That’s why theChicago area suffered a bigger de¬cline than other major metropoli¬tan areas in the nation."THE INCREASINGLY import¬ant role the metal-working indus¬tries are playing in the Chicagoregional econonjy is likely to leadto even more instability in thefuture,” Solomon said. “This maybe a necessary price we have topay for our rate of growth andour high levels of output and in¬come.”Solomon said that existing un¬employment statistical reportsmake the Chicago area look betteroff than it really is during a re¬cession.How does that misleading im¬pression arise?First of all, Solomon said, agood part of the fall in employ¬ment does not show up in the un¬employment reports."This is so because many work¬ers who lose their jobs during re¬cessions leave the Chicago laborforce. They just are not aroundto show up as unemployed in Chi¬cago statistics.”"WHILE THE labor force ir.the nation as a whole continues togrow during recessions, thus swel¬ling the number classified as un¬employed, the fact- is that th^Chi-cago area labor force shrinks dur¬ing those times,” Solomon said.To illustrate the impact of therecent downturn, Solomon report¬ed that from September 1957 toKay 1958 total non-agriculturalemployment in the nation fell 6.1per cent, but in Chicago the dropwas 8.0 .per cent.The national decline in manu¬facturing in the period, excludingChicago, was 11 per cent of thetotal unemployed, but in Chicagothe figure was 14 per cent."Perhaps the most remarkablefigure in the entire set of statis¬tics produced by the study is theone on savings in the Chicago re¬gion,” Solomon said. "The per ca¬pita rate of savings for 1955, forexample, was almost double thenational rate.”Sfr&tynefTEMPSARGENTEFFORT... grace au tout noyveauplan de payement automati-que des primes d’assurance-▼ie offert par la Sun Life duCanada.

The economist provided thisanalogy to give meaning to thesavings pattern in the Chicagoarea:"YOU MIGHT compare Chicago,taken collectively, to a man in hisearly 40’s. In his economic infancy,he was a debtor and net borrower.As he matured, he stopped beinga borrower and began the role ofrepayer. Now, in his 40’s, he ison the verge of becoming a netcreditor who is adding rapidlyto his saving balances.”Not only in amount, but in thekind of savings did the six coun¬ties choose a path different fromthe rest of the nation."We hold a markedly lowervolume of demand deposits inchecking accounts than one mightexpect from the level of incomein the region,” Solomon said. "Itmay be local banking offices arenot sufficinetly accessible in new¬er areas of Chicago where thegrowing share of personal incomeis received. This in turn mightdue to Illinois laws against branchbanking.”COMPARED WITH the averageAmerican, Chicago area residentsshow a considerably greater pre¬ference for holding their moneyin postal savings deposits andsome preference for savings andloan accounts.“In sum,” he V^id, "with percapita disposable income S5 percent higher than the national aver¬age and a propensity to save 40per cent higher, the dollar flowof per capita savings in Chicagowas almost double that the na¬tion, with personal savingsamounting to $1.3 billion in 1955.”Why is the level of output inthe six counties an astonishing 48per cent higher than the nationalaverage?Solomon gave this analysis:1. A larger percentage of Chi¬cago area residents worked. Thisalone raised the per capita out¬put 20.7 per cent above the na¬tional average. Example: 464 per¬sons per thousand in the regionwere employed compared with thenational average of 385 perthousand.2. More of the region’s workersare engaged in relatively high-output industries. This alone raisedthe relative per capita output 10per cent more. Example: steel.S. Each worker in any given in¬dustry produced a relatively largeroutput. This alone raised the rela¬tive per capita output yet another11.3 per cent. Example: Value ad¬ded per man-hour in fanufacturingin Chicago was 15 per cent higherthan the corresponding figure forthe nation.THE GRANT for the study wasmade through the finance com¬mittee of the Chicago Associationof Commerce and Industry underthe chairmanship of James E. Day,president of the Midwest Stockexchange.Solomon said, to his knowledge,this w’as the first comprehensiveaccount of basic economic flowswithin a major metropolitan area.RepresentativeRalph J.

For thisand many similar purposes, thebest estimate of what is going tohappen in the nation as a wholeis not a useful basis for planning,and could, in fact, prove to be verymisleading.”SOLOMON provided this sum¬mary of the research effort, inwhich he was aided by Zarko Bil-bija of the business school staff:"The study we have been con¬ducting at the business school ispart of an attempt to improve ourunderstanding of the Chicagometropolitan area. It docs severalthings."The basic economic series formetropolitan Chicago have beenextended back to 1940."These basic statistics, andother available information havebeen translated into measures oftotal employment, production, in¬come and savings, all of which aredirectly comparable to correspond¬ing national income data."Finally, financial data havebeen computed in order to meas¬ure Chicago’s financial position,and to assess this position rela¬tive to the underlying economy.”Wallis said that the project"approximately reflects the 60-year . tradition, of serviceablescholarship at the business schooland its long record of close con¬cern with the economic life ofthe Midwest.”"The Chicago Association ofCommerce and Industry showedunusual vision in financing a studyof this breadth and depth,” Wallissaid.

He pre¬dicted that the gross national pro¬duct in the last quarter of 1958would reach an unnual rate of$452.5 billion.On October 20, 1958, the coun¬cil of economic advisers in Wash¬ington reported that the gross na¬tional product rose in the thirdquarter of 1958 to an annual rateof $440 billion and reports fromWashington indicated that therate during the fourth quarterwould rise to around $450 billion.Solomon born in Rangoon, Bur¬ ma, where his family owned andoperated a public utility, is a na¬turalized American citizen. Hegraduated from the University ofRangoon in 1940 with a first-classhonors degree in economics.

The thrust of that article was that the physical removal of theschool across the Midway would make complete an isolation which alreadyexisted on a social and intellectual level. The purpose of that article wasapparently to stimulate more —— —contacts between law students ieal structure which the law has "Law,” as former Chancellorand the rest of the University. in common with other disciplines Robert M. Hutchins once wrote,That purpose has not been ful- ls Yet to° meagre and is barely "is a work of practical reason infilled: the law students remain recognized by any students, law- the regulation of social conduct.”still a breed apart.Few taw students know any stu¬dents in other branches of theUniversity. Still fewer have se¬rious discussions with followersof the other disciplines. Nearly allof the residents of the law dor¬mitory in BJ refuse to eat at thesame table with the other B-J res¬idents. Almost no law studentstake part in extra-curricular ac¬tivities outside the law school.Three causes may be assignedto the isolation of the neophyte 0f the different disciplines, stu-or otherwise. Pew recognize the Non-law students view such a dis¬connections between law and the cipline with horror, if not withsocial sciences, fewer still the alarm. It is considered that nolinks between law and the phys- one with such practical tenden-ical sciences. If communication cies has anything to talk about,between the law and other disci¬plines is to develop, there must bea common theoretical basis fordiscussion. In large part, thestructuring of the connectingframework must be left to thefaculty. However, the studentsmay play a significant role. Byanalyzing the various foundation Gadfly PolicyGadfly is an attempt on the part of the Maroon to pro¬vide provocative ideas to the campus at large. The columnis meant to be written by students and faculty memberswho wish to have their ideas expressed in the Maroon, andis not a Maroon staff editorial column. Articles will beprinted unsgined, and the author's name will be held inthe strictest confidence by hte Gadfly editor.The opinions expressed in the column Gadfly do notnecessarily represent the editorial policy of the Maroon,or its staff.HuM PdpuMPHlawyers. The first, and the mosteasily overcome, is the objectionof most of the campus that thelaw students place too much em¬phasis on such "non-essentiaTs” asdemeanor, d re s s and, indeed,money. The law students, in turn,seem repelled by the "great un¬washed” which has its domain inthe college and the divisions. Thiscause is too trivial to merit a cure.No reasonable person should bedeterred from the search for en¬lightenment by such superficialfactors.The second cause of the law stu¬dents’ isolation is that the theoret- dent, both law and non-law, candevelop a common meetingground.Until a common theoreticalframework is established, someisolation of the law students is tobe expected. However, the virtu¬ally total separation of the disci¬plines at the student level due tothe third cause: the fact that lawstudents seem to speak in a spe¬cial realm of discourse. It is notthat they use technical, jargonsuch as "hearsay rule” and “re¬spondeat superior.” It is ratherthat they talk in mundane, evenpractical terms. The Gadfly article two years agoexpressed the view that the gapbetween the law and other disci¬plines was inevitable because law was so inherently intelec-tual.This position seems extreme. Itis true that many law studentsare preoccupied with the acquisi¬tion of tools necessary for mak¬ing a successful career; thesetools, they seem to think, arewholly practical. However, thereare some law students who arewell within the intellectual tradi¬tion of the University—studentswho, for example, think that thedecisions of Holmes cannot be un¬derstood without a knowledge ofthe intellectual ferment whichforms the background for h i sopinions. Such students are eagerto explore other disciplines. Ifthey were not rebuffed by otherstudents, they would provide thecross-fertilization of ideas neces¬sary to both the law school andthe University. When they at¬tempt to make friends outside thelaw school they are met with acontemptuous sneer: "We wish to talk about segregation, freespeech, political freedom; aboutthese subjects you can contributenothing.”It is not perceived even dimlythat virtually all reasonable mennow agree on the desirability ofdesegregation, free speech and po¬litical freedom. Instead the dis¬cussions proceed as if there werebasic disagreements. Real sub¬stance can be added to these dis¬cussion only by those trained inthe analysis of the intricate pointsof constitutional law involved. Inshort, only a lawyer can rescuethese conversations from theirpresent level of incredible naivete.Many law students are willingto participate in those conversa¬tions. However, the other stu¬dents must first take the initi¬ative by recognizing the value oflegal analysis.more letters to editorBill Hard: Zen is a way of life EUROPEI Steamship" Round Trip*340 up - frequent sailingsThrift Round Trip by AIRThose who heard Alan W.Watts Monday were happy tofind out that at last after 1600years a philosophy has begun totake root in the Western world.It is the philosophy of Zen, or, tobe more precise, the Zen way oflife.

Zenrises above these limitations toembrace all.The ultimate realization of be¬ing in tune with the universefcalled satori by budding budd-hists in the know] does not lenditself to mere linguistic definition- it is simply a state of being.

These are (1) a mainsequence which includes most ofthe major stars and our sun, (2)a group which includes the starsbeing divested of their thermo¬nuclear energy, and (3) a stellargraveyard into which the defunctstars fall as “white giants.”Many of the details concerningthe birth and death of a star areshrouded in mystery, since theprocess takes place over hundredsof billions of years. However,most scientists are generallyagreed on the general trend ofsuch an evolution, Limber con¬ceded.The astronomer explained thatat first great masses of stellargases and dust converge due totheir gravitational elements. Thisstellar embryo then begins a se¬ries of contractions which are ac¬companied by heat in the millionsof degrees. Somewhere betweenfive and twenty million degrees,thermo nuclear reactions set in,during which the conditions areso extreme that hydrogen is con¬verted to helium.Limber pointed out that suchviolent beginnings comprise onlyabout one per cent of the star’s life; then a state of equilibriumensues as the star subsides onthe nuclear energy it consumesand radiates.In the period after the gaseousbody has “burned” about 15 percent of its hydrogen, Limber con¬tinued, “the star then goes intomore fits of contracting and ex¬panding and is known as a pulsat¬ing star.”Having spent itself, the stargives one final burst of radiationand then relapses into the whitegiant stage, after which it returns to the gases whence it began.Limber concluded by explainingthe composition of a star and howthe spectrograph could be used indetermining its elements, lumi¬nosity, and distance.This was the second in a seriesof lectures sponsored by theAstronomical society, which im¬ports speakers from Yerkes andMcDonald observatories for itsprograms. The next lecture isscheduled for Thursday, Novem¬ber 20 at 3:30 in Eckhart hallYale: send them to Chicago(letter to the editor of the Yale Daily News)'I would take issue with a statement of yours concern¬ing Yale admissions policies. Admissions committees can¬not exert complete control over the content of a school'sstudent body; an institution can acquire a reputation for appealingto a certain type of person, and this reputation soon acquires somevalidity because prospective college students select their schools onthe basis of that reputation. Thus I selected Yale over its rival tothe north although I knew nothing about either school and therebycontributed my little bit to the deplorable tendency towards orthodoxyhere.Poets and eccentrics have a valuable contribution to make to acollege, and some are present at Yale. Whether or not they shoulddominate a particular institution is a matter of opinion. Traditionally,Yale has attracted a more conservative type of student. To changethe lature of the school would be to alienate well-heeled alumni andto reduce future financial support, for eccentric poets arc rarelymillionaires.I believe you would find that a majority of undergraduate* prefera student population which embodies in large part such unimaginativevirtues as political orthodoxy, financial ambition, and conventionalpersonal habits, or else they would not have attended Yale. Forthose who would prefer a less inhibited atmosphere, there existsout in the intellectual darkness which extends from the Allegheniesto the Sierra Mad res a bright beacon of self-conscious eccentricitycalled the University of Chicago, but let’s keep Yale as it is.THEY SAID IT COULDNT BE DONE - BUT TODAYS L&M GIVES YOU-DON'T SETTLE FOR ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER!Change to L‘M and get ’em both.

He wasa co-author of The Lonely Crowd,a significant and famous contri¬bution to social theory. And for 25years he has published poetry.Denney is very much in agree¬ment with US’s ban of intercol¬legiate football. Regarding thevirulent attack recently made onthe University Harvard, and NYC,on this account, Denney comment¬ed:'Now I know where they gotthe name for that goonk thatthey have in little red cans —Sterno. Every home should havesomething useful for burningbooks.“In Stern’s case, as long asmass spectator sports are declin¬ing as compared to the other kindof leisure time activities Ameri¬cans are interested in, perhapsbusiness isn’t going .so well onhis side of the street. Maybe heis following the rule that whenyou have to run a fire sale onyour own merchandise, turn it in¬to an auto-da-fe’.”Denney had the following com¬ments to make about the generalAmerican and college social scene:Otitcr-direcied and Inner-direct-ed — “The other-directed personis one who Is interested in con¬suming things. In the U.S. todaywe need people who are muchmore in what we may call theability to consume services. Hewho knows not only how to buy acar but, let’s say, how to buy amusic lesson, a book, or a trip abroad, and really enjoy them¬selves."But I think It also nice thatamong the faculty and studentsof UC are people who are Innerdirected, in that they aren’t fas-cinated by this consumption andarc mainly interested in gettingtheir work done.”Religion on campus — “Ameri¬cans existentialism which appearsto be a rather optomistic philoso¬phy as compared with Europeanexistentialism, seems to be con¬nected with the idea that not allAmerican students agree with thepopular American conception thatreligion is something that’s vagueand valueless. The college student,if he’s interested in philosophy,and religion at all, is likely to fol¬low the great American tradtionof taking it seriously.”The “beatniks” — “They are areaction against the idea of auto¬matic and compulsory consump¬tion of all the things that masssociety produces so easily. I thinkthat at least some of them arelike the hotrodders of the culturalfield. That is, the hotrodders often years ago revolted against theDetroit automobile and in a wayalmost helped to predict what’shappened to Detroit today.

Ktagnationism, and autar¬chy. War makes cooperationand regulation imperative be¬cause of the goal of nationalsurvival it calls for. In addition,the wartime regulations and re¬strictions, which curtail compe¬tition and freedom of entry andaccess, tend to linger on. ThusEuropean economy between1914 and 1945 was determinedby the dislocations of WorldWar I or the preparation ofWorld War II.Depression threat, Depression, like war, constitutesa threat to economic freedom, hesaid. Therefore, self-governmentof industry and the governmentalplanning of economic activity in¬creasingly gained in importanceduring the inter-war years. Thecartels which were growing in the’20s were strengthened and ex¬panded under government aus¬pices during the ’30s.The decline of Europe followingWorld War I has become associ¬ated with the ideas of stagnation-ism and maturisnx Thorelli noted. Idea began“The idea began to gain momen¬tum that many of the collectiverestraints imposed by privateparties were really hampering theforces of progress,” Thorelli said.In ascertaining the climate ofpublic opinion the lecturer fitstdiscussed the European busi¬ness creed. The chief reasonsfor cartelization ostensibly werethe stabilization and rational¬ization of industry and trade.However, the stabilizationoften meant the maintenance ofhigh and level prices whichcaused unstabilization of em¬ployment, and frequently a col¬lective resistance to technologi¬cal change. German and Britishbusinessmen rationalized the re¬duction of incentives towardslong • term technical improve¬ments by claiming that cartelshad eliminated duplication ofeffort and wastes of competi¬tion. Thorelli said, “Businessstood for regulation of business—by business.”During this period Europeanlabor unions were not yet eman¬cipated from the philosophies ofthe traditional socialist thinkers.Cartels were viewed as both em¬bodying the evils of capitalismand making the economy ripe forsocialism. Tiius workingmen be¬lieved that. stability of employ¬ment -was insured only by thelarge cartels.As to the importance of the con¬sumers, Thorelli noted, “Con¬sumer views and consumer inter¬ests were not very well crystal-Tariffs were increased during the ized> articulated or represented indepression, especially the imperialpreference tariff of Great Britain,to emphasize this effect. Thorellistated, “In a nutshell the idea wasto hang on to what you have gotby artificial means.Autarchy, the ideal of nationalself-sufficiency in a planned econ¬omy, fostered the rise of the cor¬porate state in Germany andItaly. Cartelization flourished aseconomic nationalism gained ac¬ceptance by the nations on thecontinent, the lecturer stated.s, #Thorelli identifiedThorelli identified the ’30s asthe decade of national and inter¬national cartels. He emphasizedthat totalitarianism is not a nec¬essary prerequisite for the growthof cartels. By 1939 the use of car¬tels was largely employed inBritain and Germany, with indus¬trialists of the two nations agree¬ing on a vast isuper-cartel, the em¬ployment of which was-preventedonly by war.The practices of cartels in thevarious countries were manyand varied, he continued. Pricefixing, by means of output re¬striction or restriction of entryby boycotts and stop-lists, anddivision of territories and mar¬kets to joint selling agencieswere agreed upon.

Ofcourse the nazistp and facism doc¬trines found syndicates a conven¬ient means of governing the econ¬omy and of mobilization planning.In summarizing public *opin*-ion, Thorelli said, “There was astrong current in the directionaway from belief in the salutaryeffects of free and open compe-"tition and towards increasedreliance on direct regulation ofbusiness.” Business and govern¬ment all stood for regulation—the problem was one of power;who was to do the regulatingand to what extent. vThe lecturer continued with adiscussion on the background ofmonopoly control legislation inEuropean legal systems. Sincethese systems were based onRoman law (except the British)there was a bias in favor of statu¬tory rather than case law.Deep respectParticularly, there was a deeprespect for the sanctity of con¬tracts. Ancillary contracts in re¬straint of trade were viewed inmost cases quite similarly to thosein the United States. Freedom ofcontract against unfair competi¬tion laws and unfair practiceslaws showed a tendency to inter¬mingle. Also there has been a re¬ luctance to reduce the scope of thepatent privilege. The problem ofclearing up the border zone be¬tween patent and antitrust lawswas largely unrecognized.National policies toward car¬telization were the last topicsin Thorelli’s talk. He pointedout that by World War I inEngland the tradtional commonlaw restraints of trade andmonopolies had suffered a longterm decline. Thus post - warlegislation has had no tradition to build oil. Britain, France,Sweden, Finland, and most East¬ern European countries ex¬pressed governmental indiffer-e n c e or scattered legislationtoward the blossoming cartels.Germany, Italy and the lowcountries legislated toward com¬pulsory cartelization. And inNorway and Denmark the onlyrestraint was publicity.“No nation based its approachsquarely on the principle of pro¬hibition,” the lecturer noted.Fraenkel lectures...(from page 8)one and the two-parallel axioms.“In our world system, a straightline is not an open infinite linebut a closed finite line, |ike acircle which returns in itself.“Therefore, if physicists are cor¬rect in showing us that both Eucli¬dean and Lobachevskian (two-parallel) geometry do not applyto our world, we are Jiving in afinite world with a finite dia¬meter.” (Fraenkel never fullyclarified his use of the word “dia¬meter.”)“There are finite and infiniteuniverses. To distinguish betweenthem is not the job of the mathe¬matician but of the physicist. Aswe have seen, the science of infi¬nite does not belong to naturebut only to the world of mathe¬matics.” Fraenkel concluded the formalaspects of his speech with thequestion that might be asked byanyone in the audience, “Howcome you learn a wrong geometryin school, and that further, youhave never found any contradic¬tion (to the concept that the sumof the angles in a triangle equals180 degrees) ?”In answer he pointed out thatthe facts derived from physicalexperimentation regarding paral¬lels Riemannian geometry applyto extremely large dimensions;and that even with a triangledrawn from some vantage pointon earth to the farthest star visi¬ble with the strongest microscope,the difference ^rom 180 degreeswould not be- detectable.Mr. Chaucercould have used one...an(yCu/nvpUis precision portal... who couldn’t—for this handsome, compact portable isletter-perfect for everyone ... from Canterbury corre¬spondents to California coeds!Fully-equipped with the most advanced and worth¬while typing features, the magnificent German-madeOlympia makes short work of any assignment—easier,faster, finer!

Now some are beginning10 fear that the history of theentire world may be the expan¬sion of the Russian people.”Frontiers are keyOn this note, emphasizing Rus¬sian territorial expansion, Philiph. Wagner, assistant professor ofgeography, introduced his lectureon “The Russian East, 1800-1917.”Wagner’s was the second lecturein the current series of four onThe frontier experience in Rus¬sian and American history” atUniversity College.Wagner, differing with profea¬sor Avery Craven, who deliveredthe first lecture of the series, de¬clared that he would not go sof: r as to say that environment orgeography shafted people’s atti¬tudes or institutions. He did feel,however, that an understandingof Russian geography and espe-rlally of the expansions across theseveral Russian frontiers, wouldprovide “an Important key” to thestudy and comprehension of Rus¬sian history.Using a map of Russia, Wagnershowed that it could be readilydivided into five geographicalregions along lines of latitude.From north to south, the lecturermarked off the polar region; thelundra, a section of rolling, sub¬stantially treeless, continuallyfrozen earth; the taiga with itsconiferous forests; the belt ofbroad-leaf forests [similar to theearly Ohio valley in America]; andthe steppe of fixed-sod grass lands.The speaker felt that only thesouthern three, the taiga, thebroad-leaf forests, and the steppe,were of much historical im¬portance or, as he phrased it, thethree great actors on the Russianexpansion.”In steppeThe southernmost area, thesteppe, was for many centuriesihe province of the Turks, Huns,and Bulgars, savage horsemen whoutilized the grass of the steppefor their horses and who peri¬odically terrorized the Westernworld.These barbarian warriors, Wag¬ner pointed out, had been held incheck for some time by theKhazar state which stood astridethe gateway to what is now south¬eastern Europe. But the Khazarstate feel to the Mongols in thethirteenth century. They destroyedthe great city of Kiev and pushedon as far as the Adriatic sea.After a time, the Mongols with¬drew into the Slavic lands to theeast and at this point Russia brokeoff from Europe.Wagner noted that the Mongolsand Turks dominated Russia forsome 300 years. The Russian re¬surgence began in the Moscowregion and the Mongols withdrewbefore the Russian advance whichfrom 1450 to 1550 pushed themto the Urals. The Russians re¬tained this land and never againrelinquished it.Siberia most colorfulA small and unauthorized Cos¬sack expedition led the Russianmarch across the Urals. The greatdistance between the Urals andthe icy shores of the Pacific wascovered in 50 years by the Russianand, observed Wagner, “We haveno record like that in our ex¬pansion.”The Russian organized the sub¬jugated peoples, granted certainrights to them, dictated certainduties, and offered to protect themwhen they needed help, the speak¬er added.Wagner judged that the mostcolorful and well-know'n expan¬sion in Russian history was thatacross northern Siberia and intoAlaska. Driven by the lure of thesable and the silver-fox, a roughbreed of trappers and traders ledthis expansion. They were fol¬lowed by czarist agents who or¬ ganized the territory and, in theyears following 1649, by peasantswho emigrated to Siberia to escapethe serfdom which bound their fel¬low-peasants in Europe and Rus¬sia.But far more important, thelecturer felt, was the advance ofthe Russians, patronized by Cath¬erine the Great, into the steppe.“This is the kind of expansion theRussians were interested in. I:was more important than the furtrade or the acquisition of broad-leaf forest areas. The Russianswanted the steppe. It was thefrontier that really paid off. Itwas the Saskatchewan, the Ne¬braska, and the Dakota of Rus¬sia!”Settlements encouragedTo encourage the settlement ofthe steppe, Catherine the Greatinvited other nationalities to es¬tablish their colonies there—andso the Russian steppe is todaydotted with settlements of Ger¬man, Greek-, and Albanian- speak¬ing peoples—a reminder of Rus¬ sia’s rush to populate the steppe.No expansion overseasProposals for overseas expansionwere rejected by the imperialcourt, but the Russians were notadverse to conquering contiguousterritories and did, the speakernoted, advance into Georgia andthe Caucausus between 1800 and1890. The Russians pushed south,conquering strong peoples of aliencultures. “The big contest,” Wag¬ner rem^ked, “was whether thesteppe would feed the horses ofthe nomads of be plowed by thepeasants of Russia.”The steppe production an abun¬dance of wheat, he continued. TheSoviet government halted its greatexports of wheat in the 1920’s, ex¬propriated the wheat of the steppefarmer without compensation, anddistributed it to the working popu¬lations in the big cities. They didthis, Wagner added, both to dis¬rupt international trade and tofeed the workers who were thebackbone of Russian industrializa¬tion. The lecturer went on to discussthe unexploited metals and miner¬als to be found in "Russia's back¬yard full of rocks,” and the pos¬sibilities for the industrializationand development of Siberia which,he declared "will be a big thingin history a thousand years fromnow—maybe.”But he re-emphasized the factthat the steppe is the importantthing in the Russian past, present, and the immediate future. "This Iswhere expansion will continue.This is the decisive frontier. Rus¬sia will try and extend it by everypossible means—by scientificfanning, by irrigation, by forcedtransplantation of peasants fromother areas, and in other ways.”The lecture series, which isjointly sponsored by the UniversityCollege and the Chicago councilon foreign relations, will concludewith a lecture next Tuesday.Reid appointed new deanRobert L.

Discoveries have included thetemple of Poseidon, who also isknown as Neptune, and the templeof Palaimon, a boy-god of theclassical Greek period.Site of Pan-Hellenic game*The site also was the locationof Pan-Hellenic Isthmian gamesheld every two years for nearly athousand years through Greek andRoman civilizations.A "mystery cult” centered itsactivities at the site and theathletic events were part of theritual, Broneer said.Broneer reconstructed this pic¬ture from as much as is knownof the weird night rites:"On this Halloween eve, it isappropriate to try to visualizewhat the scene was like."We cannot really know becausethe cult demanded secrecy of theinitiates—the athletes took theiroaths in an underground chamberwhich we have found."But there is a great deal o*evidence of an intense nighttimeritual."One of three sacrificial pits hasyielded pieces of about 700 smallbeakers and great amounts ofordinary bowls and plates."We have found a type of oillamp unique in Greece. * "It is not hard to imagine hun¬dreds of flickering lights in thebowls carried by the worshippersin the dark of the night.Describe rites"Patterns and shadows distortthe vision ... in the distancefrom this narrow isthmus, theSaronic gulf of the Aegean sealies still and dark.'The crowds perform theirritual, led by priests and priestes¬ses. From our evidence, this wasa cult popular with the poor."Suddenly, the events reachtheir climax."Young bullocks are slaughteredin sacrificial rites and then thrownwhole into the flames burning inthree pits that were in use asaltars even before the temple waserected."The smell of burning fleshseeps through the dark night."The play of flickering lightscalms and the flames grow dim."The false light of dawn bringsan end to the ritual.”'Broneer said that much of theparaphernalia used by the pract¬itioners was crude.However, from the deep stonepit that marks one of the two sig¬nificant discoveries have come ex¬quisite tiny figures of horses anda porpoise and other small tokensof bronze and gold that werebrought by the thousands as giftsto the gods, Broneer said.The discovery of the wall dat¬ing to the thirteenth century BCcame on a father and son walknot far from the canal which inpresent times cuts across theIsthmus.Son discovers wallBroneer said his son, John W.Broneer, noticed a few bouldersin what at first seemed a shape¬less pattern and called his at¬tention to them.Tearing away the undergrowthand layers of earth, the archeolo¬gists found the wall which ap¬parently was erected to stop an in¬vasion from the north.From its construction, Broneersaid the wall probably was builtby the Achaean rulers of thePeloponnese in their effort tostem the tide of hostile incursions.The episode figures in Greekmythology.It may have been effective fo-100 years, but aggressors finallybroke through in what is knownhistorically as the Dorian invasion.Ironically, Broneer said, the end of the Isthmian temple installa¬tions occurred when soldiers of theEmperor Justinian in the sixthcentury AD broke down the paganstructures and used the materialfor a new wall to defend thePeloponnese against another surgeof invaders from the north.Temples destroyed, rebuiltArcheological work in the areaso far has cleared the sanctuaryof Poseidon, whom the Romanscalled Neptune, god of the sea,earthquake and horses. The templeof Palaimon, the boy-god, was dis¬covered under a barnyard and itsmain outlines have been revealed.The cycle of construction showsthe archaic temples which wereconsumed by fire and rebuilt in the times of classical Greece and themodifications and new structuresof Roman times.Broneer said that past year'swork on the Isthmian sanctuaries"has considerably furthered ourknowledge, particularly about thecult of Palaimon.”“The work is not yet finished,”he said. "The east and north sidesof the precinct of Poseidon remainto be cleared and excavation in thetheater has barely begun. Otherbuildings at greater distances fromthe main sanctuary are the tem¬ples of Demcter and Kore, Arte¬mis, Dionysus, Euteria . . . Twochance finds, both dedications toDemeter, from this area indicatethe general location of theshrines.” Broneer. 63, s native of Sweden,has engaged in Greek archeologi¬cal research for more than threedecades.

In no event, hemaintained, should the FederalReserve shift its monetary poiicyfrom time to tiir in order to ac¬celerate or slow tne rate of growthof money. Changes in the rate ofgrowth of the money supply, Bro¬zen said, are primarily responsiblefor the fall of prices and for therise in real wage rates while eco¬nomic activity is declining.The second factor in stabilizingthe economy is preventing the con¬tinuance of an upward wage ratemovement after employment hasturned down. To do this, Brozensuggested an employers’ escapeclause in long-term contracts pro¬viding for future wage increases.A second device, h said, wouldbe to bring labor monopoly with¬in the range of the Sherman act,limit the size of collective bar¬gaining units, and outlaw collusicfnamong them.Re-educate worker“Perhaps the community andemployees must be taught that anemployer who cuts wage rates,or fails to give a wage increase intimes of declining business, is per¬forming a social service and main-laining employment by doing so,”Brozen said.“It may be that recurrent wageincreases are granted as a meansof simplifying the decision-makinglife and providing administrativeease.” The level of employment andprice levels are the two variableswhich economic policy should aimto stabilize, Brozen said.Stability in the rate of changeof money supply, a factor whichcan be controlled by governmentalpolicy, would lead tc greater sta¬bility in velocity, the two leadingto greater economic stability.Though the Federal Reserve boardhas an unofficial rule of thumbthat the money supply should beallowed to grow about three per¬cent per year, in the last twoyears the grewth in supply hasbeen held to an annual level ofless than one percent and wasmuch larger than three percentin prior years.Monetary action has been thecause of the deflations of the pastwhich have initiated employmentdeclines, Brozen said. In 1920,the quantity of money was de¬creased by 16 percent; the defla¬tion of the quantity from 1929-33was 27 percent, and increased re¬serve requirements in 1936 andearly 1937 preceded the descentinto the 1937 depression. The dropof employment beginning in 1948also was preceded by increases inrequired reserve ratios.“The current recession stems inpart from the policies used to curethe 1953-54 decline,” Brozen noted.“Reserve requirements were re¬duced in June, 1954; the unem¬ployment peak had already oc¬ curred in March, 1954. By June,the action was hardly necessary.A much smaller cut, or moderateopen market operations, wouldhave meant a less rapid growthin the money surely in 1954 and1955, and the inflation whichalarmed the board in 1956 and1957 would not have occurred.Why unemployment“We can plausibly argue thatthe unemployment we now suffer,and have suffered, is a consequenceof administered prices and wagerates, given the monetary circum¬stances described.”Wage rates are set by both gov¬ernmental authorities and by thecontracts for long periods in ad-ance between employers and un¬ions, he pointed out. This year’swage increases for steel workerswere negotiated when 1958 eco¬ nomic circumstances and marketswere imperfectly known. Many ofthe wage increases now occurringunder long term contracts are inindustries suffering severe unem¬ployment, such as steel and rail¬roads, and the effect, in Brozen’sjudgment, is to add to the numberof unemployed.Increases in real wage rateswhich outrun increases in pro¬ductivity are frequently associatedwith an inereased volume of un¬employment, he said. Real wagesin manufacturing outran averageoutput between 1929-33, betw’een1936-38, 1948-49, 1952-54, and 1956-57. In 1948-49, real wage ratesrose about one percent more thanaverage output rise, and unem¬ployment rose by 1.3 million; in1952, 1.5 percent difference in ratewas accompanied by an unemploy¬ment rise of 1.5 million.TERRY’S PIZZAFree lJC Deliverysmall .1.00 large 1.95medium 1.45 x-large 2.95giant — 3.95chicken — shrimp — sondwiches1518 e. 63rd ' MI 3-404525c discount on oil pizzas, Mon, Tu, Wed, Thurs, only,with this coupon ■■■■■■■.JUniversal Army StoreHeadquarters for sport and work wearHooded parka jackets — hooded sweatshirts — Ivy league corduroytrousers — wash fir wear Ivy league trousers — luggage fir trunks1144 East 55th it. .DO 3-9572reduction with this coupon___H__lf giivtiiKHiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiHiiiiiiiHiiiiniiiiiiiiii^I il’TflfKMt1 Al ' //I ITT Fifty-Seventh at Kenwood jUNUSUAL F00U |DELIGHTFUL jATMOSPHERE jPOPULAR |PRICES |lUIJIHIHHHIIIUlHIHmiHHitlllltHNHIHHIIIHHHIHIIIIItflHIIIIIItllHIIIliHIHIIHIIIIIIIIlii A MAN’S SHAMPOO,..in Shower-Safe Plastic!Old Spice Shampoo conditions your scalp as it cleans your hair.Removes dandruff without removing natural oils.

The occasion wasthe first of his three lectures tobe given at UC under the auspicesof the Chicago Review, and lerarte du jour featured “Zen as acreative hoax.”Watts began by cautioning hisaudience against the greatest hoaxthey might encounter, that offeeling that they fully understandZen because of his lecture. “Zenean’t really be explained,“ he elab¬orated, “it has to be experienced.“If I really wanted to tell youwhat Zen was I would keep silent,but then you would feel cheated.But you’re going to be hoaxedmuch more seriously than thatand horribly cheated If you feelthat you understand Zen fromthis lecture. In Japan they saythat he who talks too much aboutZen will turn into a fox. Peoplehave asked me to talk about Zen,and I do, bnt I’d better have mytailor sew on a third pant-leg form.v hushy tail.”Difficult to explainEarly in his lecture Watts dis¬cussed the difficulty involved inexplaining Zen. There arc twosenses of Zen. he commented, theuniversal and the historical. ‘Theuniversal is absolutely impossibleto define, it is that which is for¬ever unclassifiable.”Tn the historical sense, he con¬tinued, “the term Zen is the Japa¬nese translation of a Chinese wordwhich is a translation of a Sans¬crit word which is untranslatable.”Watts did, however, briefly out¬line the history of Zen whose seedIdea came from the northernschool of Buddhism in India, co¬agulated between 400 and 500AD with native Chinese Taoism,and was introduced around 1200in Japan where it became the dom¬inant philosophy of the samuraiand where it primarily flourishestoday.Turning back from the histor¬ical to the universal sense of Zen,Watts declared that Zen wasneither a philosophy, nor a cohe¬rent system of doctrine, nor areligion (in the sense of beinga body of codes and creeds.) Heconcluded that it was “impossibleto place Zen m any of the Westerncategories of knowledge.”He himself preferred to regardZen as “a way of liberation — anantiodote for education — educa¬tion In the widest sense#of beingbrought up.” Watts felt thatpeople are spoiled in the education process and lose their child likenaturalness and innocence. In thisconnection, he cited the ancientChinese proverb that “a man whobecomes a true human being be¬comes a child again.”Watts then raised the questionof how to liberate oneself fromconvention. The way to liberation,as seen by Zen and explained byWatts, is not to openly revoltagainst conventions.“Those people who revoltagainst the rules are still boundby them. Zen can never be asso¬ciated with some sort of revoltagainst the established order. Toknock things down with animosityshows that you are still attachedto them. It is a form of justifyingyourself and, as the Chinese say,“those who justify do not con¬vince.’ ”Zen is experienceRather than being an open re¬volt, Watts continued, Zen is away of experiencing things. Itinvolves no psychic or occultpowers. The basic concept of Zen,he exclaimed, is that of satori, atransformation of one’s ways ofexperiencing things.“Satori comes upon you sud¬denly,” he continued, “It is a com¬mon experience and there aremany degrees of it. It is as if yousuddenly saw with astonishingand overwhelming clarity thateverything in the world as it is,is just as it should be.”“Now I do not mean this in thePolyanna sense. I do not meanthe idea the evil is hidden prepara¬tion for good. It is rather thepeculiar sensation that the mosthorrible things now going on inthe world are horrible, and thatone can see this and ask for nomore. We accept them and weare not horrified hy them. Zengives a name to this feeling ofrightness which he can roughlytranslate as ‘suchness.’”Watts felt that the basis of Zenlies in the fact that “it points toreality.” In Western culture, heobserved, we build up an islandon consciousness. We experiencethe world in a subject-object dicho¬tomy. We speak of our nails, burteeth, and our stomachs as ifthey were something apart fromus.Bodies vehicles“We seem to regard our bodiesas vehicles which we inhabit." Weidentify ourselves not with ourbody but with an ego and, saidWatts, this is the relationshipwhich is upset by satori.After satori, the speaker wenton, “you still remember that youare John Doe and what is thenumber of your house, but youdon’t believe it any more. Yourealize that it is only a role. Yourealize that what you see andfeel are just as much objects asyou are. You feel at one with theuniverse.”To illustrate this feeling, Wattsused the analogy of the beatingheart. We realize, he explained,that the beating of our heart isnot an ego activity.

Similarly,after satori, “everything outsideis felt to be as much you as thebeating of your own heart.”Is liberationReturning to the idea that Zenis “a way of liberation,” the lec¬turer declared that the effect ofsatori is to provide as astoundingsense of freedom in which everymoment of life becomes the goalof life.Zen people, he observed, expressthis feeling in activity, usuallyartistic activity, while at the sametime being capable of quiet con¬templation. In the West, he said,people feel guilty about just sit¬ting, they read to allay anxiety.They feel that they ought some¬how to be justifying their exist¬ence, or they feel that they maybe missing something, somewhere.But in Zen, he explained, you“sit just to sit.” If you can reallybe still and sit without anxietyabout justifying your existence,he continued, “then and only thencan you act completely. Only theperson who is not seeking is freeand capable of enjoying the thingsthat others are seeking.”In line with this, Watts showedthat the Zen person lives for theconcrete and not for abstraction.He cited the Western habit of liv¬ing for tomorrow and thinkingabout the good things tomorrow will bring. But tomorrow is anabstraction, he concluded.“Tomorrow redly never comes.Only today is ever concrete, andit is useless to think of tomorrowunless we can live today. Zenpeople have learned this and forthem each moment in life becomesthe goal of life.”Watts ventured to say that it isWestern culture which instills inone the habit of thinking of andliving for tomorrow. From kinder¬garten, up through school, andcollege, and into industry, henoted, we are taught and trainedthat a better tomorrow is alwayswaiting if we will only work hardand pull ourselves up the ladder.And so we do, “like the donkeywith the carrot tied before it,”he mused.We striveAnd like the donkey, he con¬tinued, we are living and strivingfor something we cannot reach.We are living for an abstract goal—“tomorrow”—which can’t be ex¬perienced. Thus in the end, “wefeel hollow inside, because feedingon abstractions is not very nour¬ishing.”It is in the sense of breakingdown one’s acquired habit of livingfor tomorrow instead of for todaythat Zen may be considered as an"antidote to education,” the speak¬er felt If Zen can show people how tofeel at one with the universe andhow to live for concrete experi¬ences, then it certainly seems likea desirable thing and, watts com¬plained, all too many people soonwant to know how to “get” Zen.But, he explained, there is noway of going out and gettingZen. “the very question ‘How shallI get it’ is a sympton of the diseasewhich prevents you from havingit.”Attitude wrongWatts felt that such an attitudewas entirely wrong because, hestated, “such a person is lookingon life as a thing out of whichhe can get something — like abarrel of beer.To look for Zen is like tryingto grab a bar of slippery soap inthe bottom of the bathtub—theharder you squeeze the further itwill aquirt away from you. Tolook for Zen,” he chuckled, “islike putting legs on a snake—theheight of irrelevance.”For only after finding out whohe himself really is, Watts elabo¬rated, can the Zen student trulyperceive the concrete world.

The three-act play byLouis O. Coxe and Richard Chap¬man will be on view through No¬vember 16.There is much to be said for theproduction. It is simply and ef¬fectively staged, consistently wellpaced, performed for the mostpart with notable intelligence andrestraint, and all in all carried offwith a good deal of professionalsmoothness.Unfortunately, the play has al¬most no claim to the title of theHerman Melville novel uponwhich its authors say it is based.Worse still, the complex moralproblem put before us by thenovel is here _so simplified andscaled down that it is hard to see how anyone other than a profes¬sional soldier could take it seri¬ously. “Discipline at all costs”would seem to be its message.That which is common to the ac¬tion of both play and novel canbe quickly stated. A handsome,latently intelligent, but completelyinnocent and .naive young seaman—an "Adam before the Fall”-—isimpressed from a merchant vesselat sea into the crew of a Britishwarship.There a sadistic petty officertakes an instant and violent dis¬like to him for no other reasonthan his very goodness and soonplaces a formal charge of mutinyagainst him with the captain.The captain, a thoughtful manof humane instincts, finds himselfin a dilemma: either to hang aninnocent man or let a serious in¬fraction of naval discipline go un¬ punished in a period (1798) ofrevolutionary unrest and nationaldanger.He chooses the first of thesetwo courses, persuades the offi¬cers of his court-martial that theycan do nothing else under the cir¬cumstances, puts aside his “pri¬vate conscience” as a luxuiy, andresolutely hangs the young sea¬man, whom he honors and lovesas a son.Those who have read the novelwill remember the deliberate am¬biguity (the ambiguity of life it¬self, Melville makes clear) inwhich everything is wrapped. Weare confronted with a situation inwhich the circumstancing facts,the motives of the actors and ofthe judges, and the consequencesof the action all “move as in adusk.”KGDL KROSSWORDACROSS1.

Yet in the play all is made ludi¬crously clear. Where Melville iscareful to show not the least evi¬dence of a mutinous spirit amongthe men, the playwrights pile upthe evidence of a brutal and em¬bittered crew, brawling amongthemselves, attempting to murderthe Master-at-Arms, and ready atany moment to break into openrebellion.Melville’s captain has no suchevident grounds upon which toact: there simply is no clear andpresent danger, and he takes the•action he does because he is atheoretical man, a pure Hobbes-ian, with a chronic fear of anarchyand a knowledge of man capacityfor evil untempered by any faithin his capacity for goodness. „Melville’s Billy Budd centers (asdoes the play) upon CaptainVere’s choice, but it presents thatchoice as based upon an inade¬quate view of man and reality.The novel is a tragedy con¬cerned with the futility of expedi¬ent action at the expense of con¬science, of doing evil for the sakeof good in a world where good andevil are so intricately intertwinedthat one cannot foresee or controlthe consequences of his actions.Only in such a view of the novelMarking the25th ANNIVERSARYofAmerican-SovietDiplomatic RelationsRockwell Kentfamed artist just returned from theUSSR speaks on"Our Friends the Russians-'Dr. Rudolph Ganzhead of Chicago Musical Collegediscusses cultural exchange as abasis for better relationsSoviet EmbassySpeakerMandel A.

He who finds thislesson in Melville’s novel has readonly the surface.The play is still worth seeing, ifonly for the sake of comparisonwith the novel and for considera¬tion of the means by which Mel¬ville’s point might have been moreclearly made in dramatic form.The answer may well be that itcould not have been made withoutthe devices available to the novel¬ist.

Theteachers of such courses, which are usually referredto by the knowing as “gut” courses or “sleepers,” oftenfeel constrained to give no grade lower than a B in ordernot to discourage the adventuresome sorts who haveelected to dally briefly in their fielcT.A GOOD many years ago the College took a standagainst this doubtful practice, and set out to discoverwhat a student entering a university most needs to pre¬pare himself for continued growth and enjoyment inthat realm of knowledge captioned “the humanities.”While one might grant that a lyrical survey of Ro¬mantic music could provide a restful moment in a hecticacademic program, the “take home pay” of such acourse is not likely to provide much of a nest egg forthe future. The introductory course must provide afoundation, it was decided, and not simply for futurecourses but for individual growth.As a product of these deliberations, there emerged,among others, the course known as humanities 1, acomplex, year long course including music, literature,and the visual arts. Although once it paid lip serviceto the historical survey, it sloughed off this vestige inthe 3940’s to face more squarely the problem of whatconstitutes a basic education in the humanities. Overthe years the framework of the course has been modi¬fied and the teaching procedures somewhat changed,but the goal has remained the same. We like to thinkthat we have become increasingly more helpful in ourmethods.*ONE DECISION that has to be made is, who takessuch a course? It once was assumed that high schoolgraduates were less likely to need it than the youngerstudents, and many went on directly to courses not con¬cerned with music and art. But this assumption failedto consider two important points.One is that there is nothing about the average highschool curriculum that would support such optimism!In the average school, art is doing things in the studio,and music is singing, neither of which activity neces-sarly correlates with the arts as humanistic disciplines.Furthermore, there is.a difference between what artmeans to a growing child and what it means to an adult.It seems wrong not to provide the student with achance to re discover the arts at a mature level. So it isnow only the student with an exceptional backgroundwho does not join us in humanities. In this regard, anew feature has been started this year. If a student inthe course shows particular capacity in art, or music,or literature, he may elect to join a section made up ofstudents of similar standing, to go a bit further in thisfield than others in the class.HOW MUCH further this will be remains to be seen.But the insistence on going as far as possible is sympto¬matic of our attitude towards the course which wouldplace our goal at the highest possible level, rather thanat a point of easy mediocrity.One of the interesting changes in the course has beenbrought about through our changed attitude towardsits structure. To replace the traditional historical organ¬ization a clear scheme was necessary that would keepour attention focused on the artistic qualities of theworks studied while advancing systematically to a broad¬er consideration of the artistic experience.IT PROCEEDED from the study of “elements andorganization,” to the classification by type, to the studyof artistic traditions, and all of the arts were musteredin parallel fashion under these headings. But it becameapparent that learning progresses at different speeds in the different arts, and sometimes we ran to keep upwith the schemes and at other times languished.So we began to examine with tare the logical progres¬sion of learning in each of the areas and then to con¬centrate on going as far in each as our limited timepermitted. Looked at together as they are now takenup, the various arts clearly pursue parallel courses, ar¬riving together at a consideration of historical problemsin the spring quarter, but each proceeds in its own wav.What we have lost in theoretical schematism we havegained in more intimate contact with the arts.THEN WHY should the arts be jumbled up togetherand not offered as three separate courses? As any re-cent student of humanities 1 can tell you, the courseprogresses a bit like a rolling snow ball, acquiring con-stantly new procedures and material, and never relin¬quishing what it has taken up in the past. Once wehave begun with an uncomplicated line of music, musircontinues to be a concern either inside or outside ofclass, and so with art and then with literature.We hold no mystic creed about the inter relationshipof the arts; it is only that we believe that the experi¬ences are complementary and much is to be gained fromthe richness of such an extended saturation. The threestudies, in other words, add up to more than a sum ofthe parts.Would it not be more effective to bring the arts to¬gether in an historical synthesis so that a Renaissancepainting could be seen as a revelation of its society, asalso would be the music and literature? We have noobjection necessarily to this kind of study, but thehighly abstract nature of such historical schematizingseems to us to belong to a very advanced level of knowl¬edge.Otherwise it becomes the superficial conning of avocabulary unsupported by experience, which will haveto be modified continually and possibly supplanted inthe face of further study. A cocktail vocabulary mayhelp one to pose as an intellectual, but it can have anumbing effect on the mind.WE BELIEVE that historical or sociological com¬ments are not the only respectable'assertions one canmake about works of art. In fact, we strongly believethat before one begins to manipulate works of art ineither an historical or sociological context, he shouldhave a first-hand acquaintance with works of art them¬selves. To be sure, history and criticism must go handin hand if absurdities are to be avoided in either field,but since the history of the arts is no more a historyof things than of experiences, it would be a dry schemeindeed if that of which it was the chronical remainedbeyond our sympathies.THERE ARE, without a doubt, some students whoregret the fact that the course lacks some of the sooth¬ing advantages of a “sleeper” course in lyric poetry.“Why do we have to analyze,” they say, “why can't wejust listen to the music and ‘enjoy’ it?” Their theoryruns along the lines of 'the only good Indian is a deadIndian”: the only satisfying art is one that is so littleaggressive that it leaves the mind unmoved. Somehowsomnolence and the artistic experience get confused.There are two levels at which a person can approachthe arts without being critically aware of what goeson and how it affects him. The first is the primitive or“vegetable” state, appropriate to the child or the totallynaive; the second lies at the opposite end of the scaleand is reserved for the person whose wide experienceand repeated self-analysis allow him to make contactprofoundly and at once with the full complexity of thework he encounters. To leave the comfortable oblivionof ignorance to pursue an active course towards thiseventual knowledge is usually painful, yet it is a stepthe alert intellect must take. It is a dull mind indeedthat recognizes the existence of new experience andknowledge, but prefers to roll over and go back tosleep. The prodding analysis, both of works and our re¬actions to them, that is a part of humanities 1 is a goad¬ing to wakefulness in a realm of human experiencethat to the adult mentality is-indispensable. We do notlook upon the arts as recreational, but as profound tieswhich link man to man in a community of feeling andsensibility, affirming his dignity and his essentialhumanity.♦ Chicago’s Most Unusual♦ Motion Picture TheatrePhone DE 7-1763Ag ain reminds all College Students of theSpecial Student Rates always in effect at DEARBORNAT DIVISIONEVERY DAY OF THE WEEKINCL.

At one time each separate in¬structor has to be moderately expert in all threemajor branches of humanities: music, art andliterature, and yet be sufficiently grounded inspecial fields to make valid contributions to hisown field.Joshua Taylor, chairman of the course, cer¬tainly meets and solves this problem. In 1939Taylor received a BA from Reed college, special¬izing in French dramatic literature, while at thesame time, attending classes at an art school andworking on stage design.Following this, two years were spent doinggraduate work and instructing classes in stagedesign at Reed. Before receiving an MA, how¬ever, the army beckoned and it wasn't until 1946that Taylor could claim his graduate diploma.Then, after two degrees centering aroundFrench literature, Taylor turned his academicinterest back to art, receiving an MFA fromPrinceton in the history of art in 1946. Ten yearslater he returned to the same school to claim aPhD in the same field.Thus with a deep knowledge of two aspectsof humanities, and with much more than an in¬cidental acquaintance with musical forms, Taylorhad little trouble assimiliating himself with thecourse when he joined the faculty in '49.His appointment as course chairman in 1954has in no way deterred him from further researchin the fields of art and art history. Taylor took aleave of absence in '56-'57 to study late 18thand early 19th century paintings in Rome.He has authored two published books, a criticalexamination of the works of William Page, a19th century American artist, and also the atleast local best-seller, (even if under duress)Learning to Look. He is editing monographs oncontemporary art for the Copley foundation andplanning a projected study of late 19th and early20th century art — art theory and criticism.In addition to all this and humanities 1, too,Taylor finds time to be an active member ofthe committee for general studies in the human¬ities, and to teach courses on contemporary artin the divisions., Neal JohnstonThis IslookOne of the lovely young ladies pictured above will benamed queen of Interfraternity ball, November 22.

To be sure, history and criticism must go handin hand if absurdities are to be avoided in either field,but since the history of the arts is no more a historyof things than of experiences, it would be a dry schemeindeed if that of which it was the chronical remainedbeyond our sympathies.THERE ARE. without a doubt, some students whoregret the fact that the course lacks some of the sooth¬ing advantages of a "sleeper” course in lyric poetry."Why do we have to analyze,” they say, "why can’t wejust listen to the music and ‘enjoy’ it?” Their theoryruns along the lines of ‘the only good Indian is a deadIndian"; the only satisfying art is one that is so littleaggressive that it leaves the mind unmoved. Somehowsomnolence and the artistic experience get confused.There are two levels at which a person can approachthe arts without being critically aware of what goeson and how it affects him. The first is the primitive or“vegetable" state, appropriate to the child or the totallynaive; the second lies at the opposite end of the scaleand is reserved for the person whose wide experienceand repeated self-analysis allow him to make contactprofoundly and at once with the full complexity of thework he encounters. To leave the comfortable oblivionof ignorance to pursue an active course towards thiseventual knowledge is usually painful, yet it is a stepthe alert intellect must take. It is a dull mind indeedthat recognizes the existence of new experience andknowledge, but prefers to roll over and go back tosleep. The prodding analysis, both of works and our re¬actions to them, that is a part of humanities 1 is a goad¬ing to wakefulness in a realm of human experiencethat to the adult mentality is-indispensable. We do notlook upon the arts as recreational, but as profound tieswhich link man to man in a community of feeling andsensibility, affirming his dignity and his essentialhumanity.ALEXANDER’SRESTAURANTWhere good food is servedat popular prices andwhere o steak getsthe tender attentionthat is deserving ofchoice Mid-western20 • CHICAGO MAROON • Nov. 7, 1958 Chicago's Most UnusualMotion Picture TheatreAgoin reminds all College Students of thiSpecial Student Rales always in effect at Phono Dt 7-1761NOW-EVERY CAY OF THE WEEKINCL FRI. & SAT.
