A UC social scientist said Wednesday that major test ofunion democracy is whether the “outs” have a right to forma loyal opposition.“By this I mean the full opportunity to function politically,to go to the membership with an opposition program,” saidJoel Seidman, professor in the Division of Social Sciences and theGraduate School of Business.The author of several books on American labor, Seidman said thenext most important issues on which union democracy hinges involvedisciplinary machinery and the relationships between a union’sexecutive board and its officers.Seidman spoke at the first of three days of conferences precedingthe dedication of the $1,300,000 Charles Stewart Mott building atKimbark avenue and 60th street. The Mott building, to be dedicatedFriday, June 26th, is the new home of the Industrial Relations centerIt was made possible through a contribution of the Charles StewartMott foundation, named after the Flint, Michigan, auto pioneer andphilanthropist. The new building provides facilities for the IndustrialRelations center and its cooperative programs of education forindustry.Seidman spoke on “Internal union practices — research findings.”He is currently engaged in a major study of the constitutions andby-laws of American labor unions.“The purpose of the study is to determine which constitutionalprovisions promote or impede democratic practices in labor unions,”he said.Seidman said first findings indicate that an "ideal” constitutionwould contain positive provisions covering three areas of uniondemocracy:• It would guarantee the right of members to function politically.• It would set up a public review board on union disciplinary ma¬chinery, and• It would provide for independence of the union executive boardas a separate entity from union officialdom.“The right to function politically is a meaningless concept unlessthe “out” group is able to form and to reach the membership. Theopposition must be able to publicize its point of view."The dual-union provision should not be so broadly written andinterpreted that it can be used to outlaw an opposition politicalgroup,” Seidman said. He explained the dual union provision meansholding membership in two unions, which many constitutions pro¬hibit as a protection against splintering rivalries.“The question of what can be said during a campaign is a thornyone,” he said. “For example, campaigning almost necessarily requirescriticism of the current union leadership.“Here it may make no difference whether the criticism is accurateor not. Either way the critic could find himself hauled up on chargeshe has violated another constitutional provision banning statementswhich defame or slander an officer or wrongfully condemn any ofhis decisions,” Seidman said.“Finally, there is the question of publicity. An occasional unionconstitution provides that rival candidates be given space in the unionpublication, but most do not. In the absence of an 'open press,’ thechallenger may be unable to reach the membership.”Grosvenor Cooper, chair¬man of the department ofmusic, has announced the ap¬pointment of Colin Slim of Har¬vard university to the directorshipof both the University orchestraIn 1955 the University of Chi- and glee club next year.Slim, who leaves his post asassistant director of the Harvardglee club, will arrive on campusnext Fall to assume directorshiphere as well as an instructorshipin the department of Music.Slim was born in Canada andreceived his PhD in music at Har-industry.

U-high active in summerUniversity high school makes a break with tradition of 58 years’ standing by holding asummer session this year.Both credit and non-credit courses and activities are offered in the six-week period fromJune 29 through August 7. School officials say they believe this is the first time summer courses havebeen offered in the high school founded in 1901.The elementary school also will conduct its regular five-week session, from June 29 to July 31.Robert Hanvey, assistant principal of the high school, said the summer sessions are open to bothregular students at the schools as well as students from other institutions.Courses are not remedial in nature, Hanvey said, but are designed to provide learning experiencesnot ordinarily obtainable during the regular school year.Members of the regular faculty of the schools will conduct the courses.Sample offerings in the summer high school curriculum:“From Quebec to New Orleans on the tracks of the French explorers,” an integrated course in NorthAmerican history and the French language. Prerequisites of the course include at least one year ofhigh-school French with a satisfactory understanding of the spoken language. Documents concerningthe 17th century French explorations in the Mississippi valley are read in French.“Civil war days in Illinois,” a course in methods of historical research. Students will study originaldocuments, letters, diaries, newspaper reports, photographs and artifacts. Visits will be made to speciallibrary and museum collections. Applicants should have completed a course in US history taken eitherin the junior or senior year of high school.Other courses are in structural linguistics, German 1, the modern psychologist at work, principles ofchemistry, television workshop, teaching, and typing. Non-credit courses and activities include shop,art studio, and sports.The curriculum in the elementary school is varied, but emphasizes reading and other language arts,science, social studies, and fine arts.Auto InsuranceHome Owners InsurancePhone or writeJoseph H.

Shar¬ing the responsibility for this lastnamed function is the office ofstudent housing, headed by JamesNewman.There are nineteen separatehousing units on campus, notcounting International housewhich has its own administration.F.urton-Judson. The New Resi¬dence hall, C-group, Gates Blakeand Snell-Hitchcock are capableof housing a total of slightly morethan 2.450 and usually do at thestart of each new year. In Springquarter, however, there were 127vacancies in the dormitory com¬plex.Newman foresees an inevitableand immediate increase in thenumber of students living in col¬lege housing. The University hasfelt this for some time, havingbegun plans several years ago forthe new residence halls whichhave just begun to dot the cam¬pus.‘This Increase,’* Newman ex¬plained, “is caused by a numberof factors. For one thing our en¬rollment is going up, especially inthe college. At the same time alarge number of the Hyde Parkapartment houses have gonedown. It’s none too easy findingan apartment these days. We alsohave a much larger percentage ofupper classmen living in Univer¬sity housing instead of movingout.”Newman doesn’t think that dor¬mitories will ever supplant apart¬ments here, instead he sees the“oasis” (the area between 53rdand 55th, Ellis and Lake Park)moving northward. “Before toolong the University will dominate55th street almost as much as itdoes 59th, and when this happensHyde Park will be a lot closer tocampus than it now is.”But more dormitories will beneeded and so more dormitoriesare being planned. The New men’sresidence hall, located on 55th andUniversity, will open its doors inOctober of 1960, adding 332 newdwelling units to the current num¬ber. Its companion tower, an iden¬tical building to be located across55th, will be constructed as soonas it is felt needful.The planning, construction andmanagement of the New' Wom¬en’s dorm, first new universitydorm since B-J was hacked fromiis solid rock, has provided muchinsight for drawing up plans onthe new men’s dorm.The building was first used inthe fall of 1957 when a few hardywomen moved into West house,last fall the other two units andthe dining hall were opened andthe “cinder-block” wilderness isstarting to look comfortably livedin.The quasi coeducational livingexperiment in this house hasproved quite successful, accord¬ing to Newman. It has relaxed thesocial situation on campus, hefeels, as well as raised the stand¬ard of dress.“It has also caused a shift in the sociological structure of thecampus,” he continued. “Studentsliving in the new dorm seem tofeel much more a part of the cam¬pus than students living in themore isolated Burton-Judson.”Several University administra¬tors have expressed the hope thatperhaps the new women’s dormand possibly even the new men’sdorm will be co-educational.Which brings up the problem ofcampus vocabulary once we havetwo new dorms within blocks ofeach other. Newman denied thecampus legend that the Univer¬sity offered to name a dorm afteranybody donating a million dol¬lars towards unpaid constructionbills. Though somewhat amused,he declined to comment as to themore realistic current “going-rate” for names on buildings.Designed by Harry Weese andassociates, the new men’s dorm,a nine-story-plus penthouse livingunit, will have an exterior ofbrick with limestone trim. Extend¬ing westward toward Greenwoodavenue will be a two-story diningunit and main lounge.The dwelling unit will have theshape of a square with notchedcorners. Each bedroom will facethe outside and a central core willcontain service elements (lounge,laundry, elevators). According otJ. Lee Jones, the University’s con¬sulting architect, this design al¬lows the maximum usage for thesmall space.The main floor of the living windows, giving the 12 by 14 footrooms an additional 2Vi feet ofdepth.The central core of each housewill consist of a lounge and adja¬cent kitchenette, four studyrooms, two practice rooms, bath¬room facilities, and a laundry. Aspiral staircase will give “secondfloor” residents access to the“house” lounges. These rooms aretwo stories high A real fireplaceis also planned for each lounge.The dining lounge unit, whichwill be constructed slightly belowstreet level, will have a terrace onthe south side of the building, ac¬cess into the dormitory and willbe facing the field house. Themain access to. the dormitory isthrough this unit. Seating 295 stu¬dents at one time, the dining roomoccupies the first floor of the ex¬tension, the lounge, the second.This second unit, which will bea mirror image of the first, isstill in a formative stage of plan¬ning. There may be some possi¬bility, according to Universityvice-president Kirkpatrick, of pro¬viding separate living units forfraternities in this second unit.Lylas Kay, head of RH&Cwaxed somewhat lyrical aboutHarry Weese. “Before starting toplan anything,” she commented,“he made extensive studies to seewhat sort of building the campusreally needed.“He wanted to know what stu¬dent life was like here, he wantedto know what students s'tudy Pictured above is the excavation for the New Women'sdorm.Excavation for the new men's dorms is pictured above.The dorm is expected to be completed by autumn, 1959.unit is essentially a lobby.

The second floorcontains 20 doubles and four sin¬gles, totally 82 students per house.Each double room will have twobeds which are to serve as lounge-sofas in the day time; 20 feet ofbookshelf space per student;desks, and closets with slidingdoors.

He made in¬quiries into athletic participationto see if he’d need to allow spacefor golf clubs.”All through the drawing stageWeese kept in touch with campusadministrators and students, at¬tempting to find what uses wouldbe made of buildings and thenproviding facilities.The New Men’s dorm will havemoveable furniture in its rooms,unlike the New Women’s dorm.The Women’s dorm, incidentally,FREE DELIVERY^ NICKYSPIZZERIANO 7-0063 was originally planned as a high-rise building. This plan was re¬jected, however, because Univer¬sity officials didn’t want the dor¬mitory in competition with Rocke¬feller tower, feeling that theChapel, the highest building oncampus, should continue to dom¬inate the quadrangles.The Residence halls and com¬mons department is a self-sup¬porting branch of the Universityand Miss Kay, its head, has somereservations that the new men’sdormitory won’t be filled up forserveral years, and thus not pay¬ing for its own maintenance.Newman is a little more confi¬dent on this point. He explainedthat the overflow from Burton-Judson alone would go a longway towards filling up the build¬ing. Every room in B-J was orig¬inally intended to be a single.During the period when enroll¬ment was up and endowment wasdown, many of these rooms wereconverted into doubles and B-Jhas become quite overcrowded.The building has stood up quitewell despite this over-use. “Theyjust don’t make dormitories likethat anymore,” Newman com¬mented with some admiration.“But the increased number ofliving units on campus will allowus to alleviate the situation,” heconcluded.Miss Kay’s chief function, andchief worry, is the managementand maintenance of the buildingson campus. It was she who con¬ferred with Weese about adequatecloset space, easily operated buthazardless windows, corridorswide enough for cleaning equip¬ ment, space for trash, linen sup¬ply and so forth. She is also theultimate supervisor for the maidservice in the dorms. This serviceis provided only for men, she ex¬plained, “because the girls cando it themselves and the menwon’t.”Newman is more concernedwith the affairs of the studentsliving in the dorms. His officestarts by examining each stu¬dent’s application listing of hispersonal preferences, tastes andinterests, in an attempt to matchup compatable room-mates.He and the resident heads whoserve under him are responsiblefor discipline in the dorms, oftena quite involved and somewhatpainful process. It is also his un¬official duty to quell the annualB-J spring water-riot, or ratherspring water-rite.Last year in spring quarter thefirst three floors of Salisburyhouse threw out their house gov¬ernment and elected an absoluteand quite divine enough dictator.The fourth floor ceded from thehouse, declaring itself a govern¬ment in exile, and setting up anew house called Churchill.The other houses in the courtsympathizing with the trappeddemocrats on the fourth floor or¬ganized a “War to Save Democ¬racy” as well as to end all wars,and proceeded to stock thousandsof balloons and several yards ofwater hose.

In this sense theeditorial you are now reading is not at all common. Instead of stating and conclusions or solu¬tions, we are presenting a peculiar dilemma of our own.Urban renewal notwithstanding, UC is currently surrounded by a slum area; the situation is beingcorrected but the conditions were so bad initially that it is taking a good deal of time.Principally because of the penetration of outlying area gangs, we have a crime problem on campus.Relatively speaking, the situation is not too bad. Our crime rate is no higher than any urban or metro¬politan university’s; Harvard, Columbia, the University of Pittsburg, MIT and many other institutionshave a more serious rate of crime incidence than we do. In fact, the UC community proper has oneof the lowest crime rates in the city.Nevertheless, any crime, any attacks, any robberies, any threats made to students arc serious mis¬fortunes. And here is our problem; we feel an obligation to inform the student body as to the actualdanger. Far too many people, in fantastic burst of self confidence, disregard any ^\nd all warningsabout roving street gangs. UC students show an amazing confidence, ignorance or preoccupation inthe way they walk down dark streets, past bushes and directly in front of alleys late at night and oftenalone. We want to explode this "myth of immunity.’’At the same time we have the problem of not attracting undue attention to incidents which do occur.We have hesitated or avoided to report any of the muggings and beatings and robbings which tookplace last year for fear that the stories would be picked up and exploded beyond their real merit bythe downtown papers. Such adverse publicity could have an unfortunate effect upon college admissions,and perhaps upon the redevelopment program itself.Julian Levi, director of the South East commission offered some informative remarks on the situation.He explained that the Hyde Park police district is one of the busiest and biggest districts in the city.Working an area bounded by 39th street and 60th street, Cottage Grove and the lake, the greatlyexpanded police force has caused a substantial reduction in the crime rate of five years ago, of threeyears ago, even.Levi has calculated that fifty-five per cent of all area crimes occur in that twenty per cent of theHyde Park-Kenwood area which is yet to be destroyed in conjunction with the redevelopment pro¬gram. Moreover, sixty per cent of all people arrested for area crimes live in this small and rundownportion of the district. As the redevelopment proceeds, Levi has commented, there will be a corre¬sponding improvement.However, Chicago is a big city and Hyde Park is big enough; care, caution and judgment should beexercised. Many streets are still poorly lit; the new street lights are scheduled to go on with a matterof weeks which will alleviate this problem. But as of the moment, the streets are rather dark; becautious as to where you walk.If you should want a policeman, call the campus guards or the downtown police: Do not call the HydePark station. Chicago cars are radio dispatched and the Hyde Park station can only relay your calls tothe Loop radio transmitter. This takes time.If you drive a car, put a UC decal sticker on your window. The rate of thievery from cars is ratherhigh, especially from cars with out-of-state license plates. Car thieves have the comforting knowledgethat one court continuance, should they be apprehended, will probably force the out-of-state driver tohave returned home. A UC decal is an assurance that the driver will be in the area for some time andthat the University will stand behind him.If you are in any way molested, threatened or frightened by strange people, either in groups or indi¬vidually, immediately report the incident to the campus guards. Even if you're past the danger, otherpeople in the area might not be. LAK’s welcomeTo the Students of the Summer Quarter:It is appropriate that I welcome you on behalf of the Uni¬versity of Chicago, for you are a singularly significant part ofour student body. Dr. William Rainey Harper invented thesummer school, and organized the University on a four-quarter basis so that the work would be integral in qualityand standards with that of the other three quarters. Thewisdom of that concept and the University’s undeviating ad¬herence to it has been justified.You are here because you have a real interest in extendingyour education and so you regularly rank among our beststudents. I hope this will be a profitable and enjoyable sum¬mer for all of you, and that the Chicago climate as well asthe members of the University will cooperate to help makeit so.L. A. KimptonFinally, at night when returning from the Loop, get off the IC at the 57th street station, not the 59thstreet station. This last named IC stop is poorly lighted and has been the scene of several recent letters to the editorsrobberies. The campus bus, which for the first time will run continuously from 7:30 in the morningtill 10:45 at night, will stop at the 57th street station. Bus tickets are available at the bursars; theycannot be purchased on the bus itself.All students on the Quadrangles for the first time should exercise the care which should be dis¬played when placed in any new area; returning students, should dispose of the dangerous illusionbeatings only happen to other people.We are very interdested in hearing about any attacks made upon students in the area. We are alsogenuinely interested in the general campus opinion as to whether or not we should run “crime” storiesin the forthcoming issues of the Maroon.

I should like to examine the question of what kind of studentsbelong at the University of Chicago. Only people with the distinguish¬ing characteristics of a superior intelligence, a desire to learn, andsufficient stability to withstand the conflicts resulting from educa¬tion—the new doubts, fears, and choices- should be at the Universityof Chicago. Certainly the Admissions Office should not discriminateagainst the brawny girls and beautiful boys who want not onlyfinancial but wedded bliss if they can meet the above requirements.But beauty, brawn and similar attributes should be irrelevant to thecriteria for admission to the university. To attract the highest caliberstudents one should emphasize that the University of Chicago iswhere one comes for an excellent education, the best that is offered.As a result of being a member of the Student Advisory board, work¬ing with alumni recruiting groups, and examining Admissions Officeliterature, I suggest that view of the university portrayed by theAdmissions office is misleading. The University of Chicago is shownas a happy, easy-going place where one somehow gets a good edu¬cation through an osmotic process of associating with learned menrather than by hard work. At best this is recruiting under false pre¬tenses; at worst it attracts students who expect everything to beeasy and crack under the work, the doubts, and the winter quai lergloom. The purpose of a university is to provide an education forfree men.Such an education cannot be easy.Susan RuppHyde Park flick is 'compulsion' Award a wifeUC extends from Yerkes ob¬servatory in Williams bay,Wisconsin, to the University ofSantiago in Chile, but it alsosends a little offshoot to the 53rdstreet and Lake park area onwhich rests the Hyde Park thea¬tre.This institution, for the famousart theatre house can be callednot less, is as much a part of thecampus as Cobb hall, and Iherearc many full-fledged studentswho see much more of the moviehouse than they do of the lecturehall.Admission to the theatre is al¬ways G5 cents upon the presenta¬tion of a Chicago I-D card, andRUDY’S jewelry• Authorized UC class rings• Omega watches• Individually designed, hand¬made jewelryDiscount to Students1523 E. 53 NO 7-2666 once admitted, one is usually bol¬stered by an excellent program.Usually scheduling double billsof more or less foreign extraction,Rose Dunn, the manager of themovie house, is doing somethingdifferent next week, screening anoted feature: Compulsion, withOrson Wells, Dean Stockwell andBrad Dill man.This film, which Time regardedas one of the finest domestic mo¬tion pictures filmed in manyyears, is based upon the famousLeopold and Loeb crime of 1924.Leopold (Dean Stockwell) andLoeb (played by Brad Dillman)were brilliant young men, study¬ing at the University whose par¬ents live in the Hyde Park areawho determined a perfect crime,and succeed in murdering four¬teen-year-old Bobby Franks.The major part of the film isdominated by Orson Wells whoappeals as the internationally fa¬mous criminal lawyer and HydePark resident, Clarence Darrow.The tense, though not terse,psychological drama will play atthe theatre for one week, startingnext Friday.

Any comment on therelation of the school and its student body to therest of the University?He replied that the law school is and out to be. animportant part of the University. Our law schoollias the closest relation with the rest of the Univer¬sity. More probably than any other law school.It's known for that.lie added, “But law students are graduate stu¬dents, not undergraduates. They shouldn’t be ex¬pected to act like undergraduates. Our studentshave come from all over the country, and many ofthem have been very active as undergraduates.At his own college a man might have been pres¬ident of the student council. But he comes here asa graduate student; he shouldn’t be expected to actlike an undergraduate. This doesn’t mean heshouldn’t have a community spirit and wide inlerests - interdisciplinary contacts and so forth.Those things are important. But it's not an insultthat graduate students don't want to be perpetualundergraduates.“Student government representation is not up tome. I shouldn't, think, though, that the undergradu¬ates would want the graduates represented. Itseems to me, as the college grows, it ought toreclaim undergraduate life as its own.”We then asked about the relation of the Lawfaculty to the rest of the University.“As you no doubt realize, we have an extremelydistinguished Law faculty. And we've always em¬phasized contact with the rest of the faculty bothinformally at lunch in the Quadrangle club andthrough more formal arrangements. Much of Hen¬ry Simons’ work was intimately connected with hisposition on the Law faculty. (The late ProfessorSimons was a very distinguished economist on ap¬pointment in the law school.) And Aaron Director'sinfluence on our students is immense. (Mr. Direc¬tor is currently Professor of Economics in the lawschool.) We have a sociologist (Professor HausZeisel); and that’s quite exceptional. I myself havethought a seminar on jurisprudence with Shils(Edward Shils, professor of sociology and socialthought).“We hope next year to get members of the otherfaculties designated as fellows in the law schooldormitory—to have meals with them. And, ofcourse, there will be other graduate students overthere with them. I like the idea of a small collegewhere the faculty and students can have a lot ofcontact; where the faculty can take a great dealof interest in the students. It’s too bad the Univer¬sity can't be organized like Oxford and Cambridgeinto small colleges. Yet I think we do pretty wellhere. We have a very busy faculty; they do a great deal of research. But they take an interest in thestudents; even more perhaps than the studentsrealize. One thing we do is to circulate photographsof the students so that the faculty can begin toknow them from sight—right off. At the same timeit's important that the faculty not dominate thestudents too much. It’s also important that thefaculty members have time for contact with oneanother and with the rest of the University. In factwe didn’t want to move across the Mkhvay. Firstwe thought of putting in more floors in this build-ing, but that wouldn’t work structurally. We alsoconsidered a bridge to Rosenwald, but the geog¬raphers wouldn't give that up. We even got out theold plans for an addition but the social sciencesEdward LeviDean of the Law Schoolbuilding would have been left without breathingspace if we’d done that. One thing we have man¬aged in the new building to retain arrangementsthat will keep the faculty in close daily contact-The same is true for the students. Architecturallayout is important in getting people together.After we've been in the building a year or so, we’llknow better what we’ve got.“Our faculty has also taken a great interest inthe College. Various law professors contributed tothe development of the College social sciencecourse; you can trace that particularly in the useof cases.”He then told us of the plan whereby each mem¬ber of the law school faculty is assigned some first-year students for counseling. Levi shares in thisarrangement.The original impression of shyness had soongiven way to increasing radiation of warmth fromthe man. Here was a man who was ever aware ofthe Universiiy community and especially the posi¬tion of the law school. How does one decide whatkind of setting is best for the lawyers? The answerseemed apparent in this man’s clear thinking, in hispride in the faculty and students. His self-confi¬dence and optimism was extremely deep seated.This realization came to me only after witnessinghis original unwillingness to discuss himself.Edward Levi is a man with a firm convictionthat the training of a good lawyer is not simply amatter of books, yet requires hard study. He isproud of the law and continually stressed the im¬portance of that pride in his students.GLADIS restaurant1527 E. 55th DO 3-9877We Specialize in Well-Balanced Meals atPopular Prices, and Midnite SnacksOPEN ALL NIGHT — ORDERS TO GOUNIVERSITYBARBER SHOP1453 E. 57thFine haircuttingFour barbers workingLadies' haircuttingFloyd C.

Explanation:The oafh is not lo prevent Communists from obtaining loans underthat act, but to enable prosecution for perjury of those who do getfederal funds.“You are quite right that Communists will swear to the oath, butif they do we can cut their water off.”Mundt then outlined what he termed the “Mundt formula” as asolution to the clearance of all personnel. Although Mundt voted forthe bill calling for an oath, he said, “I am not married to the oathapproach.” He compared his own solution to the Voice of Americaact which calls for FBI clearance of all personnel.There is now a proposal on the Senate floor from Senator JosephClark (D., Pa.) to repeal the oath. ,Mundt expressed a doubt as to whether there would ever be federalloans without strings attached. He claimed that the US must namesome defense against Communists studying in American schools onAmerican money.“I don’t care what they are, but I want something to protectthe loans.”“The most dangerous place we can put a Communist outsideespionage is in education.”UC paid for thinkingThe University of Chicagowas awarded a “think con¬tract” Thursday for devisinga “Buck Rogers” defense againstthe intercontinental ballistic mis¬sile.The university is the only aca¬demic institution among 12 agen¬cies assigned to do ivory-towerspeculation on an exotic antimis¬sile system to protect the UnitedStates by 1979.The “unorthodox, high - risk”program, dubbed Glipar (Guideline identification program forantimissile research), was an¬nounced by the Advanced Re¬search Projects agency, the Penta¬gon’s space office.Glipar, the agency said, “is de¬signed to encourage imaginativeand bold approaches to defenseagainst missiles without beinghampered by consideration ofwhat is currently deemed imprac¬ticable.”Some of the approaches underconsideration are:• A “death ray” that would de¬tonate or demolish an oncomingwarhead by subjecting it to in¬tense radiation.• Gravity waves that would de¬flect a missile off course or intoa satellite-like orbit around theearth, from which it might be re¬leased when over the spot fromwhich it was launched.• Magnetic fields that would meltan ICBM or pull it apart.• Magnetic walls that wouldform an invisible barrier — pos¬sibly a permanent shield over theentire country—on which a mis¬sile would crash and explode justas if it hit solid earth.The only antimissile programnow being actively pursued by theUnited States is the Army’s Nike-Zeus system which, in essence, isa method for shooting down “onebullet with another bullet.” TheDefense department has judgedthe program to be insufficientlyadvanced to warrant productionduring the next year.The Glipar program will re¬ verse normal research and devel¬opment procedure by eliminatingonly those programs which can beshown in theory to be completelyunworkable rather than requiringrigorous demonstrations of feasa-bility.After six months of separatestudy, the 12 Glipar contractorswill join for a common evalua¬tion of all projects that have notbeen eliminated. Then the Penta¬gon will decide what ones shouldbe subjected to critical experi¬mentation.Glipar Is designed to include a“breakthrough” in conventionalscientific thinking so as to pre¬vent the type of closed-mind ap¬proach which delayed the US indeveloping ballistic missiles.The decision to cut back on thatprogram was made because ofmuch authoritative scientific ad¬vice that a nuclear warhead couldnot be made small enough tomake it practical to weld it to arocket. By the time the theorywas disproved in 1954, the UnitedStates had lost nine years in themissile race with Russia.A dozen other contractors areworking on the problem of devis¬ing death rays, anti-gravity ma¬chines and other means of defend¬ing against ballistic missile attack.Contractors under the Gliparproject are:Aero Neutronic systems, incor¬porated, Glendale, Calif.; AlliedResearch associates, Boston; Con-vair Division of General Dynamicscorporation, San Diego, Calif.;General Electric Tempo, a divisionof General Electric company,Santa Barbara, Calif.; GeneralMills, Inc., Minneapolis; HughesAircraft company, Culver City,Calif.; Industrial Research asso¬ciates, Baltimore; Ramo - Wool-d r i d g e division of Thompson-Ramo, Wooldridge, Los Angeles;Radio corporation of America,Burlington, Mass.; Republic Avia¬tion corporation, Mineola, L.

In Measure for Measure this central virtue is justice interwoven with moralpurity, in Romeo and Juliet it is love, and in Othello it is honor.Othello, is of these perhaps the best example of this kind of focus on one ideal Quality ofsurrounding the focus with all its possible derivatives, exemplifying it in many forms andshowing it to be mistaken when — — 1plete, these forms must be re- been an effective cliche to associ-latcd to Othello s own honor ate blackness with wickednessthrough subsidiary themes and and whiteness with purity.

Nor50 times throughout the course of is this the only function of thethe play. Othello’s belief in Iago’s problem of race- Desdemona’s fa-honesty leads him to kill Desdem- ther rages because his daughtercarried to extremes.The plot of the play Is simpleand straightforward. Othello, ablackamoor general hired by Ven¬ice, elopes with the daughter ofa Venetian senator. His ancient,I a go, protesting again and againthat he loves Othello, and solilo¬quizing his hate, tells the Moorbis wife has been unfaithful, prov¬ing it with a stolen handkerchief.Othello strangles his wife, laterfinds her to be faithful and stabshimself.On the surface fidelity wouldseem to be more important in theplay than honor. Yet Othello’srage at Desdemona’s supposedtreachery is caused by a fear forhis own honor. His tragic flaw isan over trusting over-honest na¬ture which permits Iago to de¬ceive him.Honor is shown to be a virtuein the play — Iago as a twistedand clearly wicked villain is al¬most the epitomization of dis¬honor. Yet Othello’s over empha¬sis on his own honor which bringshim to his final tragedy, Desde¬mona’s unsuspecting innocence,and Iago's own use of honor tojustify his plotting and disguiseit, all show pure honor to be in¬compatible with the humanity es¬sential to man.Othello is remarkable amongShakespeare’s dramas for its in¬tensely centralized action- Its plotcan be summarized in a few shortphrases. Yet because its centralvirtue assumes many forms, theplay must show these forms, andbecause the understanding Othel¬lo gains in the end must be com- ona whose honesty he doubts.Iago plays upon men’s honesty—not the Moor’s, but that of hislieutenant, and of his own wife,to carry forth his plans.Fidelity, too, plays an impor¬tant part in the final analysis ofhonor. Desdemona’s complete in¬comprehension of infidelity fore¬stalls her perception of Othello’sjealousy and contributes to theeffecting of her murder.

These four institutionshave a single faculty which is des¬ignated as the Federated Theolo¬gical faculty of UC. The Dean ofthe Faculty, Jerald C. Brauer, actsin behalf of the University andthe four schools as the head ofthe faculty and director of theacademic program. Thus the Uni¬versity’s theological enterprisehas its direct connections with anumber of church traditions rep¬resented in the four Schools andm at the same time is an integralpart of the University’s educa¬tional undertaking.Students register in the Schoolof their choice for study underthe one faculty. The DivinitySchool, since its founding in 1891,as the first of the University’sprofessional graduate schools, haslaid particular stress upon theadvanced education of scholarsand teachers. At the present time,one-half of its 210 students are inthe Ph.D. program. This does notmean, however, that the School isuninterested in the preparationof future ministers of churches.It only means that the School hassought to do those things whichits setting and resources haveUC gets defensefellowships in '59UC will receive eight Na¬tional Defense Graduate fel¬lowships for the comingacademic year, according to theUnited States Commissioner ofEducation. Five of the awardsare for study in Far Eastern lan¬guages and civilization, and threeare in educational psychology.A thousand fellowships are be¬ing offered for study at over onehundred colleges and universitiesthroughout the United States. Thefellowships may be three-yearawards.

Under a newprogram of ministerial educationadopted in 1956. the FederatedTheological faculty is seeking todo the most adequate job possiblein the full preparation of men andwomen for the several ministriesof the churches. Increased enroll¬ment in the four Schools is anencouraging indication that thenew program is now findingreal enthusiasm and acceptancethroughout the country.The faculty of the Divinity'school (that is, the FederatedTheological faculty, the one fac¬ulty of all four Schools) is a largeone—38 full - time instructors —and a widely representative onein respect of the church traditionsto which the faculty members be¬long. The student body also con¬tains students from a large num¬ber of church traditions and coun¬tries, and includes some studentswho have no particular religioustie. The only qualifications foradmission are those laid down foradmission to the University. Itis a part of our understandingof theological education, however,that every student be ready toaffirm his own position with re¬spect to theology—whatever thatposition is—and not only to bewilling, but to be eager to defendhis viewpoint in conversation anddebate with his faculty and fellowstudents. The academic program is or¬ganized into seven fields of in¬quiry: Bible, church history,Christian theology, ethics andsociety, religion and personality,religion and art, and history ofreligions. In each degree pro¬gram (DB, MA, and PhD) stu¬dents select the field in whichthey are to do specialized workand, in addition, are required topass examinations in the basicmaterials and methods of the sev¬eral fields. The aim is that eachstudent, whatever his degree pro¬gram, will be enabled to gain gen¬eral religious knowledge and un¬derstanding, mastery of somespecial area in theology, ana cometo the point at which his generaland his specialized knowledgecomplement and reinforce one an¬other.One of the most distinctivecharacteristics of the theologicalfaculty is the extent to which themembers of the faculty seek, withall seriousness and openness, tounderstand one another and tomanitain a community of inquiryin which the special competenceand insights of each member aremade available to all. The facultyhas no single theological position,nor does it have one or two voiceswhich are echoed by, or whichset the tone for, the others. Underthe leadership of Dean Brauer,and of his predecessor, Bernard Loomer, the effort has been madeto avoid the system of making“star” appointments and to de¬velop a community of able •schol¬ars and theologians who worktogether, stating honestly andopenly their points of agreementand difference.The theological faculty alsoseeks to be in close conversationwith other members and disci¬plines of the University commu¬nity. No part of a university com¬munity can thrive in a setting ofmutual suspicion or contempt.The discipline of theology, quiteunderstandably, is viewed withsuspicion by other disciplines andhas been for many years. It isour hope that the entire theolog¬ical community on the Universitycampus ca*n pursue its work withappropriate self-confidence in theintegrity and significance of itsown enterprise, not seeking anx¬iously to defend its “right” to beon the campus nor resorting tocheap stratagems by which to winadherents or friends. It is alsoour hope that the theologicalcommunity will always remainopen to insights and knowledgefrom all sources and will be readyto risk any and all of its particu¬lar understandings of the mean¬ing of life in open conversationand debate with its larger com¬munity—on and off the campus-The University’s Divinity school has an interesting connec¬tion with one particular churchtradition — the Baptist. Prior tothe establishment of the Univer¬sity, Mr. Rockefeller and thosechurch and community leaderswith whom he was associated inthe planning of the Universityreached an agreement that theBaptist Union Theological semi¬nary, then located in Morganpark, should become the Divinityschool of the new University. TheSeminary had its own Board ofTrustees — the Board of the Bap¬tist Theological union. This Boardand the Board of Trustees of theUniversity came to an agreementby which the two Boards wouldjointly operate the Divinityschool. This arrangement hascontinued throughout the years.Thus the Divinity school, whileexisting as an integral part of theUniversity system, subject to theauthority of the faculty, adminis¬tration and Board of Trustees ofthe University, is also accountableto a Board of Baptist clergymenand laymen who are naturallyconcerned with the education ofBaptist ministers and scholars. Sofar as I am aware, there hasnever been a serious misunder¬standing between the BaptistBoard and the University Board.The Baptists have never soughtto make a denominational semi¬nary of the Divinity School. Andthe University officials havenever sought to repudiate the realconnection of the School with theBaptist fellowship. I am sure thatall concerned — including theDivinity School faculty and stu¬dent body — have gained by thisrather remarkable cooperative un¬dertaking. Ecclesiastical concernshave never played a part in aca¬demic policy. The criteria of Uni¬versity education have been thecriteria of education in the Divin¬ity school. At the same time, thevital concerns of the Church andof churchmen have had a realand meaningful channel for ex¬pression through our Baptistboard, as well as through the ec¬clesiastical commitments and in¬volvements of faculty membersand students. The interdenomina¬tional character of the Divinityschool has been greatly enrichedby its specific connection with aparticular denomination. And inthe Federation of TheologicalSchools, the interdenominationalcharacter of the theological pro¬gram has become both more ap¬parent and more nearly complete-Quantrell prizes given to fourOne thousand dollar Quantrell prizes in recognition of excellence in undergraduate teach¬ing were awarded to four faculty members this year.R.

He also teaches withdistinction in the field of Ameri¬can literature, where his specialscholarly interest is the work ofHerman Melville.” Meyers joined the College fac¬ulty in 1948. His citation said:“The ability to take an individualand unhackneyed look at acceptedviews made his recent book anotable monograph; for this con¬tribution the American Historicalassociation last winter gave Mr.Meyers its coveted Dunning prize.The same intellectual force andfreshness of approach have dis¬tinguished Mr. Meyers’ teachingin the College, especially in So¬cial Sciences One, of which he hasserved as chairman for manyyears.”Rehage joined the staff of theLaboratory school in 1940 andthe faculty of the department ofeducation in 1948.“To the task of developing theUniversity’s undergraduate pro¬gram for the training of elemen¬tary school teachers, he has ap¬plied his disciplined, and yet high¬ly creative mind,” the citationsaid. “Rehage has shown, atall times, the highest concern forthe education not only of his ownstudents but also of those chil¬dren whom they will influenceand guide in the next generation.” Noted alumnus Louis G.
