UC government lab formed;missile planner Bothwell headA Laboratory of AppliedSciences has been formed atthe University to integrate theactivities of three groups spe-cializing in applied physics, math-amaties and chemistry researchfor governmental agencies.The action was announced byPr. Warren C. Johnson, vice-presi¬dent :n charge of sDecial scientificprograms at the University.Johnson also announced thatOr. Frank E. Bothwell, 40, oneof America’s leading missile plan¬ners. has been appointed directorof the combined group.Botlnvoll played a leading rolein the advance planning whichled to the development of theunderwater-launched Polaris mis¬sile. Tie also was active in the dis¬cussion which convinced the USNavy to expedite the developmentof tiie Polaris.The three scientific groups havebeen at work at UC for severalyears on defense problems con¬fronting the US. They will com¬promise the initial elements of thenew Laboratory of AppliedS iences. They are:(1)The institute for air weap¬ons research, an advisor on long-range strategic planning for theAn* Force. Its associate directoris John W. Wester, Jr., 38, a math¬ematician. It is located in theMuseum of Science and Industry. (2) The institute for systemresearch, an adviser to the AirForce on the feasibility and limi¬tations of new weapon concepts.It is currently studying the futureof the Air Force space program.Its associate director is Dr. Ber¬nard E. Howard, 38, also a mathe¬matician. This institute also islocated in the Museum of Scienceand Industry.(3) The Chicago Midway labo¬ratories, which perform basic andapplied research to develop equip¬ment and systems for tactical andstrategic uses for all the armedservices. Dr. Thorfin R. Hogness,professor of chemistry, is direc¬tor of Midway Laboratories. It islocated at 6220 Drexel avenue. In discussing his new appoint¬ment, Bothwell pointed out thatthe three integrated groups wouldbring together a pool of 200 scien¬tists, engineers and technicians.He noted that "both analytical andexperimental" talents were avail¬able.Bothwell said the three groupshad been integrated for the pur¬poses of (1) fostering advancedresearch in the applied sciences atthe University; (2) serving as abridge between the pure sciencesof the University and the worldof engineering; and (3) providingadvanced experience in the ap¬plied sciences under the most re¬alistic conditions.About the newly-established laboratory, Vice-president John¬son said;"It is apparent that we are en¬tering a new era and that duringthe next two or three decades weshall be concerned with problemsdealing with what has been called‘automation,” or ‘control/ or ‘en¬gineering systematics.’ None ofthese terms quite fits what wehave in mind, but each does ex¬press to a certain extent the typeof activity we envisage.”Johnson continued: "Every¬thing is going to be controlled, orwill be in need of control, in thecoming decades, whether it be inindustry, the intercontinental bal¬listics missile, jet and missile trav¬eling, air traffic operations andYol. 67, No. 13 University of Chicago, Friday, November 29, 1958 q-^S^p 31Atomic age anniversary control, automatic chemical pro¬cessing, etc.‘To meet the demands of per¬sonnel to handle these problems,we are badly in need of men whohave sound, fundamental trainingin the fields of mathematics, phy¬sics, statistics, thescience of ma¬terials (including metallurgy) andthe general basic engineering con¬cepts.”Johnson, who also is dean ofthe division of physical sciences,serves on the Atomic Energycommission as chairman of itsgeneral advisory committee. Thelatter body is the AEC’s advisorygroup on scientific research pro¬grams.Bothwell comes to campus fromthe US Naval Ordnance Test sta¬tion at China Lake, California. Heis an applied mathematician. Itwas at China Lake that Bothwellworked on the development of thePolaris, a 1,500-mile intermediaterange ballistic missile which canbe launched from a ship or a sub¬merged submarine.During Bothwell’s seven yearsat China Lake, he also worked onthe planning of air-to-air, air-to-ground and submarine-launchedmissiles.Bothwell said the questions thelaboratory now faces include:(see ‘Missile/ page 6)The atomic age was born 16years ago, Tuesday, December2 at UC.On December 2, 1942, at3 25 pm, man achieved thefirst self-sustaining nuclearchain reaction here.The experiment conductedin wartime secrecy took placeunder the West Stands of theAmos Alonzo Stagg field.Today, the West Stands aregone They were torn downwhen they became unsafe.

Folkloresociety has also scheduled a bene¬fit perhaps a square dance, forWUS next month.Host of the campaigning is be¬ing done by volunteers from thegirls’ clubs, service clubs, the Glee•tab, and religious groups. WUS,headed at UC by Jim Thomason,coordinates the activity of the vol-myeers. and collects the money, to be given to the regional, na¬tional, and international offices.WUS is international, withheadquarters located in Geneva,Switzerland. While it always triesto provide both long-term andemergency relief where required,it is not strictly a relief organiza¬tion.In past years, its projects haveincluded aid to refugee students,the construction of dormitoriesand student health centers in un¬derdeveloped nations, scholar¬ships to needy students, and thesending of books where they areneeded.The aim of WUS is not simplyto provide temporary relief, suchas sending doctors to Africa tocombat the disease there, but tohelp nations to help themselves,as they do when they give train¬ing to African students to becomedoctors to combat the health prob¬lems of their countries.Along these lines, some of thecurernt projects are training sci¬entists and social workers in Asiato understand their countries’problems, enabling them to meettheir needs and build for the fu¬ture by using the resources andmanpower of their own nation;establishment of TB sanitoriumsin Japan and Indonesia; sendingeducational equipment and medi¬cal aid to students in Greece and Yugoslavia; setting up a studentloan fund for medical scholar¬ships in Uganda; planning for anall-African university conference;building housing units in Israeland Lebanon; providing a mobileX-ray unit for Egyptian univerd*ties; distributing food to needystudents, and in the US, givingalmost a quarter of a million dol¬lars worth of scholarships to Hun¬garian refugee students.In relation to the Hungariancrisis, WUS, in the US, hasgranted scholarships to 950 Hun¬garian students at American uni¬versities, 600 of whom are con¬tinuing their studies at present.WUS expects to be able to see allof these students through to theirdegrees.

On Compos(By tin A uthor of "Rally Round Ike Flag, Boyd "and,"Barefoot Boy with Cheek.")THE GIFT HORSEGadfly ‘on music’I FEEL compelled to bringbefore the student body a de¬plorable and (by me, at anyrate) totally unexpected conditionwhich exists on the world's great¬est campus: at the University ofChicago, the intellectual home of5,000 students, a school whose li¬brary boasts millions of volumes,It is virtually impossible to checkout great music and listen to it.The few exceptions listed below,drawn from my own experienceslast week, are so specialized anddiscriminatory as to exclude near¬ly everyone on campus, as youwill see. Briefly, there are threeways in wihch you can listen tomusic:• Take humanities 1. I made aspecial trip to Lexington hall forthe purpose of determining therules and hours governing thelistening room there. I was told,*The room is for the use of hu¬manities 1 students only, and thenonly listening to the specificpieces required for that course.There are facilities for only oneperson in the room ,but if youhappen to like the particular rec¬ord he’s playing, ask him if youcan crowd into the room, too.”• Own a record-played, and besatisfied with the pitiful collec¬tion on the third floor of the Clas¬sics building. The librarianshowed me the one file drawer(out of dozens) which containedthe call cards for the Classics "record collection.” It filled per¬haps a quarter of the drawer. Nat¬urally, none of the records Iwanted (obscure things, like Bizetand Mozart) were represented,but out of curiosity I asked whereI would be able to listen to what¬ever I selected. "Don’t you have arecord-player?” she asked, in thetone in which one might ask,"Don’t you have any lungs?”"NO,” I replied. "What shouldI do, hold a needle in my hand andrun around the record at 33 revo¬lutions a minute?” She was irri¬tated, of course, and politely ex¬cused herself with the commentthat "there were no listeningrooms available in Classics.” Thisdiscrimination on the basis ofrecord players I found even moreappalling than that against non¬humanities 1 students.• ) Become a member of themusic department. And even then,as the lady at the music officeinformed me, it’s pot luck. Thereare not even enough listeningrooms for the members of the de¬ partment. Their one record-playeris a home-made one put togetnerby a student, and it has an inade¬quate number of earphone sots.“We turn away dozens of studentsa week who come to us asking forpractice rooms,” she said sadly.‘There simply aren’t any more.And that’s a ridiculous situationon a campus this size.” She hap¬pens to be right. Apparently, themusic department's requests formorte listening and practicerooms are ignored. There are norecords and nowhere to hearthem.MUST ALL the University’sfunds be poured into footballs andtraveling suits for the athleticteams doled out to constructioncompanies who steadily rip downwhat few neighborhood buildingsthe students can afford to live in,paid out in scholarships for clodswho are only slightly better atpunting than at scratching andeating bananas? Is there nomoney for music? Is the UC nowaiming at the student who is sorich that he cannot only afford tobuy a phonograph but also everyrecord he may ever want to hear?Do they hate people who placeout of humanities 1? Do they hatemusic? Do they hate me? Or isthis a planned trend, a furtherstep in a process of regressive in¬tellectual evolution which canonly culminate in "a chintzy Uni¬versity in a chintzy' community?”Junius R. NemoAmazed by 6confused zealots’I was first amazed, then disgusted, by the antics of a group of confused zealots nowcurrently embattled with the management of a local restaurant.It appears that these people, seemingly having nothing better to do, must defend the“rights” of certain groups even if it means that they violate the rights of others involvedin this dispute.Using a somewhat stupid (and therefore ineffectual) law as partial support for their ac¬tions, they are now endeavoring to coerce certain parties into giving up their right of free-choice.Granted, there are certain situations where one has no legal (and moral) right to makediscriminating choices, e.g., as in public education, public transportation, civil service em¬ployment, etc. It is a grave mistake, however, to confuse this with situations in which a pri¬vate party wishes to make choices to his own liking. Here, he is under no obligation toaccept “everyone regardless of . . .”I believe that the movement for ensuring that everyone’s civil liberties be protected willregress, rather than progress, when any minority groups can tell a person who is runninghis own business that he can't be selective in hiring — that, in effect, he has to hire Mr.or Mrs. X.

Graebner, who is lecturer insocial sciences in the College,and also a Lutheran pastor to theUniversity, has been at UC since whole, there is more conformityhere than there was in the forties.Students mirror the intellectualclimate in which they grow up. Itis my feeling, however, that atradition of intellectual values hascontinued hero as before.Questioned on his thoughts con¬vening the reorganization of theCollege and its new faculty,Graebner seemed to feel someconfidence that the College willsurvive the ordeal. “I do not think we can applythe words ‘good’ or ‘bad’ to thesechanges because they are not ap¬plicable. This kind of judgmentis a highly personal thing, revolv¬ing about personal impressions,and often without any evidenceat all to substantiate it.”*T like the discussion method.and don’t particularly care for thelecture method of teaching. Weshould concentrate on saving thediscussion method and a generaleducation program. T have confi¬dence that these have provedthemselves.‘ How the faculty is organizedis not nearly as important as themethod of instruction and the di¬rection of the educational aims.These, not the organization of thefaculty, are the essential parts ofthe college tradition here."Traditionalists who insist thatthe College not be changed, orwho insist that it was ‘better whenI was here’ do not realize thateverything must change. Thereshould always be experiment andfree play of ideas; there is no im¬provement without them."Some representatives of thedivisions,” he added, "who com¬plain that the teaching of the gen¬eral education courses is inad¬equate. do not themselves haveany clear rut picture of what kindof sludent they want, nor whatkind of college they want. More¬over. (heir mental picture of thecollege or the university is aearlealure, sometimes a childishlyunfair one.”Discussing some of the possiblechanges in the college in the pastten years, Graebner said, "One ofthe most obvious differences be¬tween the College now and theCollege ten years ago is the vir¬tual absence of veterans at thepresent. However, excluding thisfactor. I’d say that I’ve noticedseveral things.‘‘First, some of the ethnicgroups which were not represent¬ed, or only sparsely so, on cam¬pus ten years ago, arc now repre¬sented in great numbers. I thinkthat this is all to the good."Secondly, I would say that, incommon with the. country as a "Furthermore,” he went on,“not only do some of the mostpartisan comments come fromthose who know the least about♦he situation, but it is my feelingthat one generation cannot reallyfully know the next. It is too closeto it. to be objective in its criticism,yet not close enough to be sub¬jective.”Commenting on UCs positionrelative to other schools, Graeb¬ner said, “We are no longer asgreat a contrast to the state uni¬versities as we used to be. Thestate schools have gone througha period of great growth and de¬velopment (af this point he re¬called his meeting with a studentfrom a large stale school whocommented, "I like this place, butthey don't seem to realize that weread Plato too.”)"We have, however, the advan¬tage of great freedom of expres¬sion, and the additional advantageof the discussion method and thecollege program, which the stateschools have difficulty duplicat-in part because of their greatsize.”In his capacity as a Lutheranminister, Graebner has had agreat deal of experience with thereligious feelings of the studentson campus. Ilis impressions ofthese and the religious life of thecampus were varied.‘The religious groups on cam¬pus try to present their religionin terms sympathetic to the in¬tellectual atmosphere. They getfurther with the students thanthey do with the faculty and theadministration."There is an interest in theol¬ogy on the part of College stu¬dents which is quite considerable,but it is guided peripherally. Wehaven't coped with this problemsuccessfully. There ought to becourses in the College to aid incorrecting the ‘religious illiteracy’'which is current. Unfortunately, the idea hasn’t been recently ex¬plored. Theology is respectablehere, and there are a great manyexperts in the field in the Fed¬erated theological faculties."I have sympathy with thepolicy of the College now in notteaching courses in religion, dueto the great number of religiousgroups represented on campus.Our principal problem, however,is whether religious guidanceshould be peripheral to the organ¬ization of the College, or an in¬tegral part of it. I personallythink that there ought to be aCollege chaplain or religious ad¬visor.”Almost as an afterthought,Graebner added, ‘There is nogreat religious revival on campus,however.”Graebner dismissed the beat generation with a few words.“From personal observation inSan- Francisco and New York, Iwould say that most of the beatgeneration are in their 30’s. Themovement is not centered on anycampus, and there is very littlecontact with the campus due tothis age differential."The beat generation is, how¬ever, important on the generalcultural scene, and will have someinfluence on the College studentseither of attraction or repulsion.”Discussing the function of auniversity’s administration.Graebner stressed, "I don’t thinkthat the administration shouldspeak for a university as a whole.Its function should be to adminis¬ter the affairs of an academiccommunity. Its function is not toprovide intellectual leadership.” "As far as I can see, UCs pre-sent administration is fulfillingthis function very well.”"An administration will alwaysbe necessary, but identification ofa college or university with itsadministration is wrong. This ad¬ministration should be the “hand¬maiden’ of scholarship, and assuch it is a useful and, I mightadd, increasingly highly paidfunction.”"The administration sometimeshas to act as an umpire betweenconflicting academic interests.But if the administration has totake the lead in intellectual mat¬ters, it is because either thisleadership has been turned overto them by the scholars, or thescholars have themselves failedf r> 1John Millsletters to the editorZen needs critical study;acceptance as philosophyStudents may helpEven one unversed in sociological concepts has been madeto realize that our generation of students is not consideredan outspoken one.

Ifa poll of student opinions weretaken, I am sure that there wouldbe substantial agreement on suchliberal platitudes as the brother¬hood of man, racial equality, theneed for individual decision asagainst organizational-man typethinking, the need for creativenon-conformity, etc., etc. In prac¬tice, however, we differ from theMiddle-West (sic) provincial onlysuperficially. On all crucial issueswe are not about to criticallyexamine our opinions. It is im¬portant, of course, to know thelatest intellectual patter as longas we are not naive enough totake any of (sic) seriously; andZen, like existentialism, suppliesus with a new jargon. But wehave made up our minds before¬hand that it is only a collegegame that will not really affectour basic attitudes.Such an accusation should besupported by at least one exam¬ple, however pressed I am forspace. This year Shoson Miya¬moto, professor emeritus of Tokyouniversity, is giving a seminar onMadhyamika Buddhist philoso¬phy, one of the important develop¬ments in Indian Mahayana Bud¬dhism, which later influencedVedanta in India, and the Bud¬dhist philosophy of China andJapan, including Zen. One wouldexpect that such a course, seldomoffered at any American univer¬ sity, would be of tremendous in¬terest to a variety of specialties:philosophy, theology, Chinese, FarEastern studies, social thought,sociology, etc. There are exactlytwo students taking the course.The simple fact is that althoughwe are willing to admit for thesake of our liberal, cosmopolitanpose that all men are brothersand that foreigner’s (sic) way oflife and thought is just as legiti-male as our own. we are notreally going to seriously examinehis thought on an equal footingwith "our own” tradition. Andwe rationalize our provincialismwith a few slogans about, the cul¬tural context of ideas, or else bysaying that we have no time. Letthe reader ask himself if he hasever seriously sat down for evenan hour with a Buddhist sutra,Confucius, or the Koran, with thesame receptivity and humilitywith which he would approachHume or Freud.And so I compliment Mr. Hardfor his spirit of adventure in at¬tending the Watts’ lecture. Hehas at least considered Buddhismimportant enough to refute. ButI would like to call attention toone further consideration.We cannot examine carefully,sympathetically and “objectively”all of the fashions of thoughtwhich are offered for our con¬sideration and support. The “openmind” is a liberal fiction. We areforced to select the ideas whichwe will study and which will in¬fluence us (where selection ispossible at all) on the basis ofpreviously formed ideas andbiases. We develop certain pre-logical criteria for sifting out themost likely sets of ideas worthyof our serious consideration. The brain-child of a single man, forinstance, is not likely to be asvaluable as one developed by acommunity of men, although, ofcourse, there are many excep¬tions to this rule of thumb.Let us remember that Bud¬dhism is 500 years older thanChristianity and has probably hadmore followers. It has been thedominant religion of China,Japan, and South-east Asia. Thepeoples of Asia, including HinduIndia, comprise half of mankind!(Check your almanac.) Theseconsiderations do not prove the“truth” of Buddhism, but theyare pre-logical arguments for thepossibility of its being importantand meaningful. A way ofthought which has engaged theenergies of sucli a large portionof civilized man cannot be putaside lightly. Now the questionis: Can a religion which has in¬spired some of the grealost art,thought, and institutions of theOrient have as its goal "escap¬ism”? Perhaps.An hour’s lecture on a foreignway of thought cannot dispel theprovincialism from which we inAmerica arc still painfully emerg¬ing, in spite of our tours to Eur¬ope. The other extreme is toidealize the Orient and to glossover its shortcomings. Where canwe find the balance? Only byreally accepting the Buddhist asa real human being like ourselves;and this means making his solu¬tions to the problems of life anddeath credible to ourselves. Wemay not like his solutions oncewe really know what they are,but at least we will be in a posi¬tion to understand the motivationof an important section of man¬kind.should be known to all.

Isolation andfurther application of these tracercompounds to other plant or ani¬mal tissues increases basic knowl¬edge in biological fields.Scientists have found that seed plants are generally more re¬sistant to radiation than higheranimals; a fatal dose of radiationto a mammal may be around 400-500 roentgens (a basic unit of ra¬diation measurement). Certainhigher plants can withstand asmuch as 1,000 or more roentgens.One of the primary researchtools at Argonne’s greenhouse isthe radioisotope. This Is a radio¬active variation of an element. Itmay be produced by subjectingmaterial to bombardment by neu¬trons in a nuclear reactor.Since the advent of the nuclearreactor, large quantities of radio¬isotopes have become available atrelatively low costs. They are em¬ployed in hundreds of ways astracers, or “atomic detectives.”A radioisotope introduced intoa plant emits tell-tale flashes ofradioactivity. Scientists are ableto follow its complex movementthrough the system by means ofsensitive detecting devices. Using“tracers,” Argonne’s plant physi¬ologists learn more about the bio¬synthesis of compounds and theirmetabolism and function inplants.These tracer radioisotopesgreatly increase the sensitivity ofdetection.

Measurements were alsomade to find the rate at whichthe plant lost its oils. The latterinformation is useful to theplanter for fixing the proper har¬vest time, to prevent excessiveloss.The most widely used researchtechnique in Argonne’s green¬house is to grow plants in a radio¬active atmosphere of C-14. All con¬stituent organic compounds be¬come uniformly labeled with thesubstance.This is carried out in four mini¬ature greenhouses, called isotopeplant growth chambers. Each is 5feet wide, feet long and 8 feethigh from the gravel surface tothe peak of the roof. In operation,a supply of water flov/s continu¬ously over the glass sides to main¬tain constant temperatures withinthe chambers. No soil is used. In¬stead, the seeds are planted inclean gravel and fed a nutrientsolution. Rather than normal at¬mosphere, the plants “breathe” incarbon dioxide containing “tag¬ ged” atoms of C-14 or take upwater containing a tracer.The isotope chambers — de¬signed and built by Argonne’splant physiologists — serve twopurposes. They provide the meansto isolate plant compounds of in¬terest to the scientist; and themeans to study effects of radio¬activity on plant tissues.Among plants that have beengrown in the chamber are: rub¬ber, onion, artichoke, red kidneybean, opium poppy, several vari¬eties of soybean, tobacco, buck¬wheat, snapdragon, sugar beet,peas, alfalfa, and Rauwolfia.Another research tool employedby the plant physiology group isheavy water (D20), a substancecontaining an isotope of hydrogen(deuterium) that is twice asheavy as ordinary hydrogen.Green algae are being grown inheavy water in controled growthrooms at the Argonne greenhouse.The project is being staged in co¬operation with the laboratory’schemistry division.Heavy water replaces lightwater, with heavy hydrogen re¬placing hydrogen in plant sys¬tems. This has the effect of slow¬ing down life processes. The studyof such effects may aid in obtain¬ing a better understanding of cer¬tain chemical processes associatedwith growth.The green algae are a source ofcomplex organic compounds inwhich almost all of the hydrogentoms are heavy hydrogen. Whenthese compounds are isolated, itwill be possible to test for morespecific effects of heavy hydrogenon plants and animals. The resultwill be more information concern¬ ing metabolism, and perhaps, com¬pounds of therapeutic value.A second (and still heavier)radioactive isotope of hydrogen—called tritium—has been used byArgonne and the US departmentof agriculture to perform aunique experiment with the soy¬bean plant The tritium was sup¬plied as water in a nutrient solu¬tion.Scientists carried out the firstbiosynthesis of soy bean oillabelled with both C-14 and tri¬tium. This meant they were ablefor the first time to isolate tracerforms of the individual fatty acidsthat make up soybean oil. Theseacids were in turn made availableto Argonne and the USDA foruse in animal metabolism studies,and research into the chemicalstructure of the acids. This wasArgonne’s first experiment withtritium biosynthesis involving ahigher plant.The plant physiology groupalso is investigating the effects ofa naturally occurring plantgrowth hormone that promisesgreater crop yields for farmers.The hormone—called gibberel-lic acid—is one of several com¬pounds called gihhcrellins thatwere originally discovered inJapan.Gibberellic acid has a numberof effects on plants: it can makethe stems grow longer; increasethe length and area of leaves;increase fruit yield; and act as asubstitute for light or tempera¬ture in some germination andflowering processes.The acid — commercially avail¬able—comes to scientists in theNEW CAREERS FORMEN OF AMERICA:CIVIL ENGINEERBuilding boom coming fromcoast to coast.

The authorship ofthis poetic masterpiece remainsunknown. For, though manymaintain that its elements of com¬plication show direct evidence ofBennie G. Oosterban’s interven¬tion; in vciw of his present exilefrom the Ann Arbor polis, I findit difficult to justify that hypo¬thesis on historic grounds.Two kinds of complicationThe complications of which Ispeak fall into two categories;but, as they manifest themselvesoutside the plot and lead in theidentical probable sequence to theperipeties and discoveries of thataction, they corroborate the uni¬versal beauty in the imitative ac-lion and may thus be regarded asinseparable. As, furthermore, theyare easily comprehended by theaudience, and add immeasurablyto enjoyment of the plot resultingfrom the natural human love oflearning, I shall hereby explicatethem briefly.Into one category falls Destiny;the odds, as revealed by that in¬fallible messenger-oracle of theFates — the Grapevine — favoredIndiana; and, of course, the pro¬tagonist of our tragedy is Michi¬gan. The other category is sub¬divided into two parts, which to¬gether may be said to constituteMichigan’s tragic flaw: unsteadyoffense and weak defense.What is the object?With these complications wellin mind, let us commence upon asuccinct description of the plot—that most important feature ofthe structure — an imitation ofhuman action. The first questionwhich a summary of this sortmust answer is: What is theobject of imitation?It is apparent here that the ob¬ject is a universal contest: manstrives through courage and val¬our to attain glory, whether ornot he is opposed by other menor divinely-placed obstacles. Hecan achieve the goal only throughcooperation with men of similarinclination; without this mutual-Republicans planreorganizationYoung Republicans will holda reorganization meeting at 8pm Wednesday in Ida Noyeshall lounge.According to Marvin Schrankof the group, the meeting is opento all interested persons. Thegroup is seeking in particularundergraduate members, he said. ity of effort, this solidarity, hemust fail.The plot progresses in the fol¬lowing manner: the chief agent,“captain” John Herrnstein, garbedin blue and gold and crowned inwarrior’s helmet leads a cam¬paign to defend a highly-prizedobject (called “football,” forwhich the tragedy is named)against the machinations perpe¬trated by the bearers of the oppos¬ing standard. The football derivesits significance not from any ma¬terial value but from its embodi¬ment of well-won victory.The object of the campaign was,for the aggressors, the establish¬ment of Victory by means of car¬rying the football past the defend-ents’ symbolic battle line. Forboth sets of combatants, then, theobject of battle was identical:namely, that to which we havejust alluded. But the Indianan mo¬tives are represented to us asmorally wrong, while those of theWolverines are just and true.Episodes of the first two acts(each episode closely interwovenwith all the others in complexcaused relationships) led to suc¬cess for neither opponent; thisfact though, and the delicate bal¬ance of forces which it created,helped arouse emotional supportfor the justice a final Michiganvictory.Second half is fuming pointThe second half indeed markedthe turning point. Cooperative ac¬tion of Indiana opportunistsbrought a successful earrying-across of the football during abrief moment of Michigan laxity.Not yet satisfied, the schemersaccumulated still greater advan¬tage in the struggle by sneakingthe victory symbol across thesame border immediately after¬wards.Morally indignant, the Michiganagents, led by Herrnslien,snatched the football and soonbrought it protectively over theIndiana border. But, try as theywould, they could not gain any ad¬ditional advantages; and time wasrunning out. At last, after severaldisheartening episodes, the Wol¬verines attempted, without duepreparation, to kick the footballup and over the Indiana border.Herrnstien, the agent of thisfutile act and disillusioned hero,suddenly discovered the tragicflaw, the error in judgment: itwas not the enemy who causedthe loss of victory, but the inabil¬ity of Michigan’s own men to co¬operate and provide the direct,concerted action necessary to se¬cure and retain the football; andfor this tragic failing there wasobviously no cure.Time and IndianaThe discovery, as in all greatEAST END PARKSHOPPE1650 east 53 streetDRESSES and HATSCOORDINATES.LINGERIEHOSIERYGIFT ITEMSfa 4-9635Come in and inquire . . . about ourMerchandise Club. You'll like it. tragedies, let to the catharsis ofthe audience’s pity and fear. Fromthe moment of discovery on for¬ward, Michigan had merely tofinish off the remaining actionin accordance with a pledge madeto the football commissioner godsknowing full well that victory wasimpossible of attainment.We see, then, that Michigan’sobstacles were twofold: Indianaand Time. It wasn’t enough forher eleven oligarchs to make itstrategically impossible for thehuman opponents to claim victory.Doom, like a sword over the headof Damocles, ticked away its pul¬sating presence on the end zoneclock and Victory, if it wore tocome about, would have to be se¬cured before Time had run itscourse.Zeuss intervenesThe element of “spectacle” en¬tered her to intensify the plot’sbasic conflict. Zeus fomented astorm, spreading water whichturned the one-verdant battlefieldto black—black which besmearedthe White military uniforms ofIndianas combatants, signifyingthe moral degradation that in¬creased with each new burst ofoverweening ambition.Another factor in raising theemotional tension (i.e. spectacle)was the omnipresence on the bat¬tlefield of stripe-shirted demi¬gods who, in shrieking tones, blewincriminating admonitions againstmoral offenses at the participantsand cast down portents of redcloth.A moment ago we spoke aboutTime and its role as opponent tothe agents of the major action.It also has a second function,which helps differentiate this typeof narrative from epic. The divi¬sion of the tragedy into four actsof equal length would seem ar¬bitrary; but in reality, it directlyaffects the plot by its influence onthe morale of the agents.Visible and invisible voicesWe have spoken about spec¬tacle, plot, and, indirectly, aboutthe character of the agents. There jremain for consideration the ele¬ments of melody, diction, andthought. About the last of these,little can be said. It was the weak¬est element of this tragedy, for,though the audience does notknow what moves were decidedupon in Michigan’s private con¬ferences; it is clear that eitherthey were not appropriate to theoccasion (and therefore, our mas¬ ter tells us, not good thoughts),or they were not acted upon.Diction and melody can betaken up under the same heading,since they are, in this case, near¬ly identical and are both repre¬sented in the choruses. Of chor¬uses, this tragedy had two: theone being a group of loyal citizenswho shouted such oaths as “Let’sgo BOOM!”, “Hold that line!”, andother similar expletives; the other being an invisible voice whichsporadically commented in sooth¬ing tones, “Tackle made by TedSmith.”In a sense, the first chorus,while it did not rightly constitutea portion of the tragic cast, didrepresent Hope, even after Hopehad been crushed by the mortalblow of Destiny.And now I offer a humble apol¬ogy to the Muse.'Cap and gown' schedulesindividual, group photosCap and Gown, the University yearbook, will take individualand Burton-Judson group photographs this week.Photographs of all students receiving degrees this quarterwill be taken from 1 to 4:30 pm, Friday and Monday, Decem¬ber 8, in Mandel hall.Persons photographed willreceive three wallet-size prints.One print will go to the yearbook.The charge for these pictures is$1.25.Group photos of Burton-Judsonresidents will be taken accordingto the following schedule:MondayCoulter 8:00 pmMathews 8:30 Linn 9:00Salisbury 9:30TuesdayDodd 8:00Mead 8:30Chamberlain 9:00Vincent 9:30House residents should wearsport coats and ties, according toWalter Fish, Cap and Gown edi¬tor.Captures yourpersonalityas well asyour personphotographerBU 8-08761457-9 E. 57th St. UNIVERSITYBARBER SHOP• , 1453 E. 57thFine haircuttingThree barbers workingLadies' haircuttingFloyd C.

Rearrange¬ments took place in rank and sta¬tus throughout the social struc¬ture.The dynamic motive of thismovement, McKitrick further ex,SPECIAL OFFER!Get aWINSTON or SALEMCigarette LighterBring 10 empty WINSTON orSALEM packages and 50c toU of C BOOKSTOREOffer extended to Bee. 15, 195ftCHICAGO MAROON • Nov. 29, 1958 plained, was profit; its represen¬tative institution, the businesscorporation; its instrument, themachine; its political expression,democracy; and its result, modernWestern society.It was a startling ami a brilliantthesis which Webb presented, Me-kitrick declared, but it had aboutit a “Deoline-of-tlie-West-aronia—a somber note of prediction asto what we might expect in thefuture. For Webb felt that thebasis for the entire institution ofWestern society and democracyhad been lost. He saw that theman-land ratio in 19.10 was backwhere it had been in 1500. Nonew frontiers beckoned, no newareas of land were available forsettlement.Thus Webb, like Turner beforehim, foresaw a great devitaliza¬tion, a loss of opportunity andfor individual self-expression, andthe submergence of the individualinto a mass society.”It was at this point that Mc¬Kitrick struck off sharply on hisown along a patli divergent fromthat blazed by Turner and Webb.Both of them, but Webb morethan Turner, the speaker noted,“remained anchored to the geo¬graphical quality of the frontier.Their work took on depressingMalthusian overtones as they sawno more open land available inthe future. Webb particularlyseemed to think that any frontierother than the geographicalwould be trivial.”McKitrick, on the other hand,proposed that the geographical isbut one of the many sense of the’ROUND THE WORM)IMPORTERSA Gift Shop of DistinctionThanks the thousands who sofavorably commented on ourimport display in the windowof the Chicago Association ofCommerce, Monroe & Dear¬born.Thanks to the Association forthis merit of honor.Many, many thanks for yourpatronage.And may we inform you thatthe good ships Linholm andChristian Sarterie from Eu¬rope, are unloading beautifuland glamorous gift ware foryour selection?You are most cordially invitedto visit us.1515 E. Hyde Park Bird.“Enjoy an adventure inshopping.” term “frontie. ” He felt that thefunction which the geographicalfrontier had fulfilled so well couldeasily be performed by anothertype of frontier—a frontier whichcould be an outlet for the libera¬tion of energy, a medium whichone might find an opportunityfor individual self-expression, ameans of uncovering latentleadership qualities and directinginto promising careers.As an example of this concept,lie pointed to the imperialism ofthe 19th century which, he felt,produced the results of a frontierexperience in that it gave meet¬ing to the lives of many men inthe colonial nations, gave theman opportunity to employ theirskills and expend their energyin a broad, important, and chal¬lenging context. The frontiers inAfrica became the centers for thenational self-expression of thebest men of the colonizing nations.It gave an outlet to men of highexpectations seeking promisingcareers.The lecturer voiced the opinionthat a similar frontier experiencewould soon beckon the most bril¬liant, restless, and energeticminds of this generation. Not, assome might expect, the frontieron science or in outer space, butthe frontier in international de¬velopment.This, he continued, will be thenew imperialism. But it will be anin perialism without exploitation.One culture will not be harshlyimposed on another, but all willlearn and grow to understand oneanother as the men of these cul¬tures work together on a basisof equality toward a commongoal.McKitrick felt that the foreignaid program of the United Statesto date has in large part been hampered by the “vulgarity andinsensitivity of its promotionaltechnique which take little ac¬count of, and thus can make littleimpact on, local culture.”It is also difficult, he noted, tofind large numbers of sensitiveand intelligent men to embark onforeign assistance missions.To change this, “a great andimaginative forward leap isvital,” he continued. No longershould the United States be soreluctant to partake heavily inaiding large governmental devel¬opment programs in foreignlands. Our touchiness to Help finance these schemes, he noted,has generated touchiness on thepart of the native leaders toaccept our aid, and a vicious cyclehas developed...We must, the speaker urged,bypass our ideological roadblocks.Aid should be granted not by asking: “Are they committed to theUnited States?” or, “Is this pro¬ject in the tradition of Americanfree enterprise?” but rather byasking “Is this project neededand will it work?”'Experimenters'meet ThursdayTo explain its summer trav¬el program, Experiment in In¬ternational Living will hold anopen meeting at 4:15 pm, Thurs¬day, in Ida Noyes hall library.The meeting program will in¬clude a film and a discussion ledby former “Experimenters.”The travel program enableshigh school and college studentsto live with families in other coun¬tries and view life in foreign na¬tions in the company of theiradopted families.TERRY’S PIZZAFree lJC Deliverysmall 1.00 large 1 95medium 1.45 x-large 2.95giant — 3.95chicken — shrimp — sandwichesISIS e. 63rd Ml 3-404525c discount on all pissas, Mon, Tu, Wed, Thurs, only,with this couponPROGRESSIVE PAINT & HARDWARE CO.“Hyde Park's Most Complete Paint & Hardware StoreWallpaper — Gifts — Tools Rented — HousewaresUC DiscountHY 3-3840-1 1154-58 E. 55th st.. *Current 'Phoenix' nostalgic and humorousI suppose the campus humormagazine has survived all thistime in many places — but foryears I’ve had the impression thatIt went out with the bi-swing back,the Big Apple, the two-bit blueplate, and a score of other agree¬able institutions which today areremembered, if at all, as symbolsof our lost innocence. Certainlyor this campus the species hasbeen forgotten since 1938. For acouple of decades before thattime, the University communityhad sporadically enjoyed Phoenix,a journal with so precarious acareer that students were quiteaccustomed to its suspending pub¬lication (without subscription re¬funds) for months at a time andthen reappearing with a cover onwhich the legendary bird fromwhich the magazine drew itsname arose, with sooty insou¬ciance, from its own ashes intonew life. In 1938, however, wc stu¬dents decided that we had out¬grown humorous publications andcame out with Pulse, a painfullyserious newsmagazine, so scrupu¬lously modeled after Time thatseveral of its editors subsequentlyfound employment with the Luceorganization.Appeal to identityPhoenix, though, was much likemost of the humor magazines ofthe day—which were, in turn, somuch like one another that, hadacademic inquiry into popular cul¬ture been fashionable then (whichit was not), they would have read¬ily yielded to any number of Ries-manlike generalizations. Phoenix,like the rest, frankly appealed tot he reader’s sense of his collegiateidentity. It was a house organwhich was intended for those whocould appreciate allusions to thelocal beanery or deanery, the pi¬quancy of certain professors, orthe charms of particular co-eds(as female students were quaintlyrailed in that era). This is not tosay that it was uncritically devot¬ed to rah rah.Satiric salliesOn the contrary, it was, as arule, pretty satiric, and its sallieswere likely to be directed againstathletics, prom-trotting, fraterni¬ties, and the more oppressive as¬sets of administration policy. Itfrequently paid lip-service to theserious side of life, carrying (al¬ though usually in the back pages)a number of verses and storieswhich made no pretense at humor.These tended to be heady stuff, inwhich sex and death served asprincipal themes, generally han¬dled in a way to make them indis¬tinguishable from one another.Phoenix exercised a critical A?fhc-tion as well; I don’t remember anyreviews of important books, plays,or music, but the magazine didprovide a fairly reliable and quiteuninhibited guide to publicsources of food, drink, and enter¬tainment.Fears unwarrantedEnjoying affectionate memoriesof the old publication, I was natur¬ally somewhat apprehensive thatthe Phoenix, newly risen thismonth, would be unrecognizable.I am happy to report that myfears were generally unwarrantedand to reassure nostalgic gaffersof my own and older generationsthat, for the most part, the maga¬zine could well have been pro¬duced in the palmiest days of AlfLandon and Ben Bernie.The 20-year suspension of pub¬lication has, it must be confessed,resulted in certain features whichupset ancient precedent. I suspect,for instance, that all three of thepieces which appear under thecategory "Literary” would haveseemed somewhat out of place inthe Phoenix of yore. "The Test,”by Fauneil J. Rinn, has, to besure, a theme which might wellappeal to student editors of anytime (including those of today’sChicago Review), for it involvesa man who appears to be recov¬ering from a severe emotional dis¬turbance and who seeks to asserthimself in the act of ordering adish of ice cream. In contrastingthe agony of his hero with thetough, breezy drug store world inwhich the ordeal must be faced,the author succeeds in producinga discomfort which is as authenticand as familiar as that created bya neglected wisdom tooth. WhereMiss Rinn departs from most un¬dergraduate writing, however, isin her ending, which, although itis, in my opinion, adroit, tender,and surprising, is also heretieallyhappy.Exercise in exuberance“The Trumpets,” by Earl Fen-delman, is a sort of exercise in exuberance, with some inept andcorny moments, but with somemoments too of lyricism and wit.Its author attempts rather gal¬lantly—and, I think, not withoutsuccess—to recapture an uncom¬plicated but elusive gaiety, chieflyby phrase-making, an art which isconveniently disdained by mostundergraduate authors. In myday, most students, particularlythose who worked on Phoenix,would have been thoroughly skep*-tical about the capacity of any¬thing—let alone a snowfall—tomake them happy, and I can eas¬ily imagine Fendelman’s contribu¬tions being rejected on the groundof high spirits alone.The third "literary” work in theissue is called "The Bereaved.” Inits manifestly autobiographicalaspect, this anonymous piece isreminiscent of a lot of what theold Phoenix had to offer; for aPhilips offers awardA teaching fellowship program which “opens a new avenueinto the teaching profession1' has recently been announced byPhillips academy, Andover, Massachusetts.The Andover program is designed to help college graduatessecure preparation for teach-ing through a year practical ties, attending seminars on edu-experience at Andover and, for cation, and undertaking some in¬ humor magazine, it was remark¬ably hospitable to those whowished to ventilate their traumas.This story, however, is told witheconomy, clarity, and an austeregood taste which, particularly inthe final paragraph, suggest thatthe author is more interested inliterary art than in public lam¬entation.Phoenix old friendWith the exceptions I havenoted, I welcome Phoenix as anold friend. The very beginning ofthe very first story ("To Share inModeration,” by William Har¬mon) has a fine, familiar ring.Its hero’s name, Erasmus Rosen-scbmalz, immediately awoke inme the names of half a dozen he¬roes of similar performances inyears gone by — of PolyphemusPeavey and Mortimer Adler Mon¬teverdi and Gratiano Hassenpfef-fer and Beowulf Goldstein, infalli¬ble signals, each and every one,that someone or something wasin for a hearty ribbing. Harmon,it is clear, has gifts for nonsense,for punning, and for rather ele¬gant faeetiousness; se seems alsoto believe that, while spoofing isall right up to a point, if that pointis serious enough, an author mustultimately stop trying to amusehis readers. He accordingly iswilling to stop being funny half¬way through his piece and to re¬veal, through what appears to bea parody of some sort of Univer¬sity publication, that he regardsmoderation and those who advo¬cate it as contemptible. This cou¬pling of wholesome fun and out¬right bad temper is in the bestPhoenix tradition; I felt verymuch at home in seeing "modera¬tion” exposed to the same polem¬ical formula which, in ages past,had laid bare the ininquities ofcampus politics, neo-Thomism,neo-Cartesianism, and the depart¬ment of buildings and grounds.Although the extent to whichHarmon’s article conforms to thethose who have not completedmore than a semester of graduatestudy, a year of graduate work inthe United States or abroad.For 1959-60 not more than threeteaching fellows will be chosen dividual project.A grant of $l,500-$2,000 is madefor the first year and $2,500-$3,000for the second.Phillips academy is a four-year, traditions of Phoenix is not quitecertain, the remainder of the cur¬rent issue raises no such doubts.An article called "So You WantTo Be a Chicagoan”' (advice onproper jargon, campus social divi¬sions, where to live, and so on)could be—and, for all I know is—a re-write of a similar compen¬dium of jocular counsel which,if memory serves me, appeared,mutatis mutandis, at least threetimes in the magazines of myown undergraduate career. In “IsIt All Necessary?,” R. Grove-Hall,a visiting Englishman, ironicallyrecords his anguished reaction tothe intricacies of registration. Thearticle is reprinted from a Maroonof 1956; it might have been re¬printed from a Phoenix of 1926.“Passing Parade” is presumablyto be a regular department of themagazine. The editors sum up itscontents with the statement that“Culture Vulture takes a fewshots at elephants; pink, white,and otherwise.” Culture Vulture’selephants are the local resourcesfor entertainment and enlighten¬ment and the habits of those whofail to exploit them, wretched asthey are. Neither the resourcesnor the habits have changed overthe decades, and it is, therefore,not surprising that Culture Vul¬ture’s indignation sounds muchlike that of his equally sensitiveand articulate predecessors (who were called, among other things,Nighthawk and Humming Bird).Finally, in a comic strip called“Sir Henry” (also apparently tobe a regular feature) one encoun¬ters the most traditional ingredi¬ents of all. It seems there is anarchaeologists digging at what arethe remnants of our own collegi¬ate civilization, and there is talkof pledge pins and ape men andodd customs and primitive cults.And it is here—and good timetoo—that your reviewer suddenlyrealizes that, although the newpublication seems to be firmly inthe old Phoenix tradition, he him-sdf may no longer belong. Thisfeature seems to hinge on a jokeabout Phi Gams and Esotericsand, while it doubtless would havestruck me as a rich, nutty jesttwo decades ago, it eludes me to¬day. With some sorrow, I realizethat Phoenix, precisely because ithasn’t changed, is no longer en¬tirely my dish of tea. But ofcourse, it’s not supposed to be.Phoenix is a student publicationand, for all that’s happened sincethe old bird last went up in smoke,students and their talents andtheir interests and their gripeshaven't changed much.

During thattime a shocking indictment ofsociety has become a melodramat¬ic tract on sex education. Linesand situations which once mayhave produced stunned silencesnow evoke patronizing titters. Yetthe play has a passion and direct¬ness which often overcome theunfortunate usage of time. Itshould be seen if only because itis astonishing even in an agewhich cultivates theatrical aston-i.hme/.t. There are numerous problemsconnected with the production ofthis play. The simplest one, theendless change of scene, is solvedmost effectively by a non-objec¬tive set whose principal featuresare a small platform in the centerof the stage and a sheet of nearlytransparent plastic stretchedacross the back of the stage likea large picture window.This last most versatile devicemay be either illuminated to showscenery or stylized events behindit or darkened to give a strictlyneutral background to indoorscenes. Everything else on thestage has been painted black, not so much to stimulate the imagina¬tion of the audience as to concen¬trate its attention on the actors.The latter are dressed in a semi¬uniform manner which givesminor differences in attire an un¬usual significance, allowing awhole scene to be set with a cap,a flower, or a beard.So far the staging suggests anexpressionistic production, aphase of German theater bestknown to us through the film,The Cabinet of Doctor Caligri.Such a production might besthave harmonized the many con¬tradictory elements of satire,lyricism, farce, realism, and melo-Shure is brilliant but coldby Mary FinkleAn encouragingly largecrowd was on band last Fridaynight for the first event ofthis year’s rather abbreviatedUniversity concert series. The re¬citalist, Leonard Shure, presenteda somewhat unusual program fortiiis day and age. in that the mu¬sic was of a strictly romanticgender. However, not only wasthe program limited only to theworks of Schumann, Beethovenand Schubert, but also it seemedcalculated to exhibit the mosttechnically brilliant aspects ofthose composers’ productions.Shure gave a performance whichhighlighted technique, but moreoften than not, highlighted littleelse.For his first number, Shureperformed Schumann’s Fantasy InC major, and in the opinion of this reviewer, was decidedly mostat home in this piece. He beganin a slightly stiff fashion, butwarmed up very nicely throughthe course of the first movement.His performance of the secondmovement was a true artistic tourde force. Shure handled Schu¬mann’s difficult runs with trueperfection and imbued the musicwith an eloquence and grandeurthat was at times quite thrilling.The final section too was up tothe highest artistic standards, forin this movement Shure not onlyexhibited his technical mastery,but inspired the music with awarmth and-color that is so essen¬tial to romantic interpretation.Unfortunately, the promise ofthe first half of the program wasnot fulfilled in the second.Shure entirely failed to put anyreal feeling into Beethoven’s AMajor Sonata, opus 101.

Furthermore, notonly was lyricism absent, butShure’s technical standards fell sosharply that in the second move¬ment of the sonata, he seemed tohave entirely lost his own syn¬chronization.Schubert’s ‘‘Wanderer” Fantasywas also a disappointment. Shuresucceeded in making Schu¬bert sound almost harsh and an¬gular, adjectives which certainlydo not, or should not, describethat composer. Only in the adagioof the second movement did anyof the real beauty of the piececome out. For in the other twomovements, endeavoring to bringout the great technical complexityof the work, Shure succeededonly in playing too loud and toofast. He overdid the contrasts, andin the magnificent final fugue, be¬gan so loudly that he found him¬self without any ammunition leftto bring the composition to itsgreat resounding climax.In short, a lot more warmth andfeeling and a little less virtuositywould have indeed made LeonardShure’s Mandel hall concert amuch more satisfying musical ex¬perience. drama through which the playunpredietably leaps. It also mighthave made the play more “mod¬ern” and therefore acceptable toan audience still young enough tosuccumb to the magic of Beckettand Cocteau without seeing thedextrous puppeteering behind it.But instead of this, the actinghas been made naturalistic when¬ever possible. This increases theconfusion, provides some embar-assing moments for the audience,and must at times be abandonedwhen the text will simply notpermit it.Despite this there is a gain inemotional involvement by theaudience which outweighs theloss of an impersonal series ofponderous Teutonic stage imageswhich perhaps were the ideal ofthe original producers. This treat¬ment has been most effectivelyaccorded the second and lastscenes of act three and show howthe entire nlay might have b^cnmounted if the German traditionhad been preserved.The burden of this drama iscarried lightly by the charm andexuberance of the actors. Most ofthe characters were fourteenyears old, a most difficult actingproblem which was not alwayssolved. There was altogether toomuch aimless movement on stage.Too often the shyness and awk¬wardness of fourteen year oldboys came out as restless squirm¬ing and betrayed the uncertaintyof the players.A most annoying habit sharedby nearly all was the practise ofpantomiming past events whilerelating them. An actor couldscarcely say, “I drank some water,” without forming an invi¬sible glass and giving a demon¬stration.Furthermore, when vocalizingtheir thoughts in solitude, theplayers continued to “act” asthough engaged in dialogue whichincreased the general restlessness.Since the emphasis on the actorshad been artificially heightenedby the set, a much greater restraint was indicated.Eric Bentley, who translatedthe play, has called it “. . . atragedy of sex that attracts theyoung and iconoclastic and repelsthe old and conservative.” Actu¬ally it is only the old and conserv¬ative who can take tins play quit"seriously, for its problems are apart of their lives.The UT production of Spring’sAwakening can be commended fo»-presenting a little read page rftheatre history, a number ofstrik'n" visual effects, and be¬cause the actors have exploredthe naturalistic quality in the playto make it more warm and affect¬ing than mmht have been thecase. The last judgment, however,must be that Spring’s Awaken*""is a theatrical curiosity to b-*taken from its drawer of yellowphotographs and faded bows nomore than once a half century.Some of the interesting and outstanding acting performanceswere turner! in by Margaret Stin¬son as the leading adolescent girl,Neal Johnston and Willard Mood'-as the two protagonists, an ob¬vious young man skillfully play-inging a father, Ken Atkatz asGabor, and Rosalind Conklin asa young girl.Roger W.

Long introductions are inestimably bet¬ter than long columns. Witness last week's Culture Vulture. Anyone who devoted the time necessary to figuring out what it wasI was talking about would immediately discover that he didn't have time left to go to anything, even if he had the money. Now,with the introductions no one needs to puzzle over them, thinking out what it is I'm saying, for anyone who has followed thiscolumn at all closely has already discovered that I'm not talking about anything at all, even if at very great length.Besides which, there is no additional vantage point in the entire paper in which to disseminate totally useless information ——Information possessing neither a news value, cultural value, sports value. Besides I don't want to write the stupid column andtoday is Tuesday and the paper isn't appearing until Saturday and there's nothing to write about anyway!This brings to mind an early ambition I once had of writing a novel, the title of which would be about 50,000 words, andthe novel itself would simply read "The End." People discussing this, my work of art, would have to belch forth the entire book(chapter headings and all) in order to communicate what book he was talking about. This is the direct antithesis of a JamesJoyce character who wanted to write books with such descriptive titles as K, V or F; but then we all know what sort of booksJoyce wrote.Which, of course, sooner or later, must ultimately bring up the question of what's happening in Chicago this week.

Awardswere given last week to MaggieStinson for her performance asWenola and to Gerry Mast forhis stage managering.Next on UTs production list isthe standard, if never classic, To¬night at 8:30. The program willinclude an original review by DonMrClintock, called for some rea¬son obscure only to those whohave never sat in the Reynoldsclub theatre, Inter Allia; a Frenchfarce entitled The Piano-Tuner;a new play by WFMTs fine arts-guide Omar Shapli, Aria de Capohv Edna St. Vincent Millay, a newplay by Samuel Beckett, and aconcert reading of an uncut BackTo Methnseleh, preface and all.Tryouts will be held In the Rey¬nolds club theatre December 9and 10 for all positions in allshows. Actor’s designers, and de¬signing actors as well as allpeople Interested in tech work areinvited to attend the try-outs, bothof which start at 7:30 pm.And incidentally, despite allrecent letters to the editor con¬trary and notwithstanding, Black-friars is going to present a newmusical by Don McClintock en¬titled Sour Mush, and it is “ananthropological study of decadentSouthern society"—I have it onthe word of Claudia Cassidy.Concerts and recitalsLike the year and all otherevents, excepting always quarter¬lies, musical events on campusare tapering off. The only excep¬tion to this general dictum is theUC concert series which will pre¬sent one more program this quar¬ter.A week from Friday, the Clare¬mont quartet will play HaydnQuartet in G minor, opus 74, num¬ber 3, and Beethoven’s Quartet inA minor, opus 132. To round outthis program, the group will givethe Chicago premiere of Blackwood’s Quartet Number 1. If thename ‘Blackwood’ doesn’t strikean immediate bell, note or tone,it should or will. He is oi»e of theleading young comp< sers in thecountry and also one of the lead¬ing young composers on the UCmusic staff.If you want to attend the con¬ cert, waste no time getting aticket. In fact, run, do not walk,to the nearest music departmentdesk. Student tickets are availablefrom Miss Adams in the musicdepartment at the price of $1.Art exhibitionsThere’s not too much on cam¬pus left to look at besides thegargoyles which abound in everynook, cranny or dark corner.However, we’d like a chance tolook at you. Come up to our neo¬classic studios in Ida Noyes sometime, preferably with typewriterattached.Motion picturesNext Friday Doc Film will con¬clude its recent film series ofJewish subject movies with thepresentation of The Dybbuk, foryears a stage classic, turned intoa highly successful and admirablemotion picture.

This concert will berepeated Friday.Motion pictureOn December 3, the Hyde Parkwill bring in a special, one-dayshowing of the Bolshoi ballet star¬ring Ulanova and including a com¬plete Giselle. Opinion has variedrather greatly on this film, somepeople liking it, others findingit only slightly short of silly. Cer¬tain of the numbers selected forthis film simply no not lend them¬selves to a silver-nitrate process.A rather wild bacchanale whichopens the show looks like nothingmore than a large group ofslightly obese bedeviled devilsjumping alternately into and outof the picture. There were, how¬ever, moments in the long num¬ber, Giselle, which I though quiteimpressive. If you haven’t seenthis film before, it would be worthyour while to take a look at it.

INSTITUTE OFMODERN HYPNOSIS32 west Woudulph it.CK (3131A guarantee:fro teack you froHypnotize othersNov. 29, 1958 • CHICAGO MAROON • 15Two principles govern Hum 7.by Meyer Isenbergchairman, College humanities 2 courseThere are two major principles of the humanities 2course.The first of these two principles can be stated quitesimply. And it is this: The work of art itself is the pri¬mary and central interest of the course. -THIS PRINCIPLE, like all principles, needs a gooddeal of explanation. In so far as the principle limits theHumanities 2 course to the “work of art itself" it impliesthat there are other aspects of art which can be pur¬sued but which are not studied in this course. In theold survey course of the ’30s, from which the presenthumanities 2 course developed, many aspects of artwere studied. Art was related to its historical back¬ground; the artist’s life was considered of great impor¬tance; the cultural and sociological aspects of art were,perhaps, considered of the greatest importance.The faculty, in time, began to feel that this multi¬dimensional attitude toward art was very unsatisfactory.And their dissatisfaction gave birth to the presentcourse. They argued that it is very well for the studentto know that Greek drama flourished in the fifth centuryBC or that Sophocles was a friend of Pericles or thatGreek religion was the source and inspiration of thedrama. But did the student, they asked, fully appreciateOedipus Rex as a tragedy? It seemed that the studentwas taught everything about Greek tragedy that wasmost vital, the high tragedy and the passion of Oedipus.But how could the student appreciate and love whatwas most vital if his reading habits, for the most part,were undisciplined and superficial? No one can read agreat and profound work with the same reading habitswith which he reads the morning paper. The facultyknew that these correct reading habits could be made apart of the student’s skills by sufficient practice andstudy. Yet the old survey course did not give the requisitetime to this practice and discipline.The deliberations of the faculty and the choices theymade at the time are still the basis of the present course.They decided that they would concentrate on thework of art itself and let the other aspects of art takecare of themselves. In that way, they felt that the stu¬dent would develop certain habits of reading and skillsof understanding which would enable him to come toclose grips with the inmost essence of the work of artitself. Oedipus would no longer be merely a man whokilled his father, married his mother, and then blindedhimself. Rather the Oedipus Rex became a play witha richness of detail and a profundity of constructionwhich led the student directly into the heart of tragedy,of action and passion. The principle that “the work ofart itself is the primary and central interest of thecourse" thus means that the student must achieve theappropriate habits and skills before he can ever hope toappreciate and understand a work of art as it ought tobe appreciated and understood.THE SECOND MAJOR PRINCIPLE of the course issimply this. Each type and engre of literature has cer¬tain appropriate ways in which it can be studied.If there are certain specific devices and stratagemswhereby drama could be read, these, plainly, cannot bethe same devices and stratagems whereby one readshistory or rhetoric or philosophy. If the tracing of theplot and action is one of the ways in which a tragedycan be understood, this, certainly, would nt be the wayin which a work on philosophy should be read. It wasfor this reason that the works of art studied in thecourse are divided into the types or genres of history,drama, novel, epic, rhetoric, and philosophy. This divi¬sion, of course, does not signify that the staff of thecourse is interested, Polonius-fashion, in pigeon-holingworks of art. Rather it means that the student can bestget to the pulsing heart of a work, can best understandthe purpose and intention of the author, if he knows theappropriate questions to ask of a work of art. Only inthat way will the work yield its inmost secrets.THIS, IN SHORT, IS THE HUMANITIES 2 COURSE.It has often been called a course in analytic reading.This is true and I would accept the statement if the word “analytic" did not have such non-humanistic connota¬tions. We do tear a work of art apart and investigate howeach part functions in the structure of the whole. Butwe do not embalm the parts in sterile flasks and alcohol-filled test tubes. One of the purposes of the course isthat the student acquire the correct habits of readingso that he can understand and feel most deeply what isbest in literature. “Analysis” is merely one of the manystratagems in the course whereby a student is led toacquire such a discipline.A student before taking the course is apt to read abook and think he has done his job well if he has writtenin the margins “N.B." or “I agree” or “nonsense." Inother words, the student’s level of understanding andappreciation most often remains the same before andafter he has read the book. The humanities 2 courseenables the student to raise his level of understandingby coming to close grips with a master artist. “Educa¬tion,” in its Latin signification, means a “leading out"from one’s foi’mer level to a new and higher level. IfMeyer Isenberg after early fluctuations has con¬fined himself pretty totally and quite thoroughly toUC and its affairs. He did his undergraduate workat the University of Illinois, Northwestern and theUniversity, receiving his degree here in 1935.Five years later, Isenberg received an PhD inGreek writing his dissertation of Plato's Symposium,and his interest in philosophy has remained hismajor concern. Following this, he spent a year ofpostdoctoral work here, followed by a call from thearmy.Isenberg has developed a large working knowl¬edge and awareness of the college, having taughtalmost half of the magic 14 courses at one time oranother. These teaching tasks include Greek, Latin,history of western civilization OMP, humanities 1and 3 as well as his present academic first interestshumanities 2 and the new Indian civilization course.Isenberg has served as chairman of humanities 2since 1956. (photo by Fenton) “analytic" reading performs this function, We can suf.fer the word and gladly accept the fact.There is another important aim of the course whichis concerned with the processes of communication. Thenatural tendencies of most people lead them to cherishtheir own thoughts and to give little heed to the thoughtsof their fellows. The involvement of the student in ti;cthoughts of a master artist teaches him that it is wellworth-while to understand and appreciate another man sthoughts. The student becomes receptive to ideas otherthan his own and often he will acquire a salutary humil¬ity. And humility is, indeed, a virtue in one’s apprenticestage. These virtues of receptivity, of humility and ofunderstanding are furthered by the discussion methodwhich is most appropriate to the materials and the ob¬jectives of the course.THE PRINCIPLES AND AIMS of the humanities 2course have been so obviously correct and so clearlyperceived that there has been little basic change in thecourse for many years. Changes occur in the readingsin the various genres, but each new reading must justifyitself as fulfilling some basic purpose of the course.Gibbon’s Decline and Fall, for example, is so patentlyan inevitable choice that it has been continuously in thecourse for many years. Other readings drop out for ayear or two and then come back because of their evidentusefulness. Some, after a fair trial, do not return. It hasbeen found, of course, that the classics most oftenreappear. It is difficult to keep Oedipus Rex or King Learout of the course. A work is a classic not because it isold but because it is so excellent. Since works are socarefully and minutely studied in humanities 2, a lesserwork breaks down under this treatment. It is found, aswe say in our jargon, that “it doesn’t hold up.” Thus thereading list of the course is studded with great namesand great works not because of their reputation norbecause of their age, but, rather, because it is only thegreat works that fulfill the purposes of the course.Once, in an aberrant moment, the outgoing staff ofthe course chose Salinger’s delightful short story, ForEsme as a reading for the next year. The new staff ofthat year, many of whom had taught the course previously, was horrified. They summarily cast out Salinger from our sacred precincts. I doubt that Salinger willever again come so close to immortality.Since the humanities 2 course is a basic course in theintegrated program of a liberal education, it has manyrelationships with the other courses in the humanitiessequence and with the rest of the College courses.The reading of many major works of drama and fic¬tion has made the humanities 2 a propaedeutic to thecritical objectives of humanities 3. The reading of philo¬sophic works in the spring quarter is an aid and an in¬troduction to OMP. The way in which history is read inhumanities 2 serves as a contrast and as a stepping stoneto the course in the history of western civilization. Ingeneral, the skills and discipline in reading acquired bythe humanities 2 student serves him well in his studiesin the social and natural sciences. A fond dream of somemembers of the humanities 2 staff is to read such a workas Newton’s Principia in the humanities 2 way. Thisis a logical if unrealistic dream. It is logical because thesubject matter s no less an art product than Hamlet is.At any rate, it would be an interesting experiment.HAS THE HUMANITIES 2 course been a success? Onthis score I am a prejudiced witness. The course hasbeen so great a part of my intellectual life that it wouldbe impossible for me to assume a completely detachedpoint of view. In any event, I may safely say that it isa course of great power and utility. There are manyproofs that this statement is true. A new member of thestaff, as soon as he becomes aware of the course’s prin¬ciples and purposes, becomes also an ardent defender ofits methods. The long and untarnished history of thecourse, with its reluctance to change, is another proofof its excellence. Further, there is singularly little criticism of the course by qualified observers. It is difficultto feel otherwise than kindly disposed toward a course inwhich one undergoes the profound experience of readingwith care, emotion, and understanding Protagoras, TheScarlet and Black, and Paradise Lost.Bicycles, Parts, Accessoriesspecial student offerACE CYCLE SHOP1621 e. 55th st.EUROPEDublin to the Iron Curtain; Africato Sweden.
