Pan Am takes overby Allan MetcalfStudents and athletes alikeare getting a taste of the finesthospitality the University andthe City of Chicago can offeras 1500 athletes from 25 na¬tions in the Americas come tolive on campus during the ThirdPan American Games, to be heldnext Thursday through Septem¬ber 7.At the headquarters of the “PanAmerican village” in Ida Noyeshall, visiting athletes are greetedby a multilingual informationbureau, registered and suppliedwith free refreshments and colortelevision. Most of Ida Noyes’ sec¬ond floor has been taken over bycommittees and officials of theGames.Male athletes from about adozen countries are expected tobe lodged in University dormi¬tories by this weekend. A fewother delegations and the womenathletes will be located at theShorcland hotel, 5454 S. SouthShore. A free shuttle bus will pro¬vide transportation from the hotelto campus.To entertain the athletes, anightly variety show will be pre¬sented — “gratis”—in Hutchinson Vol. 68, No. 4 University of Chicago, August 21, 1959court, the site of Court Theater,from August 27 through Septem¬ber 5. It will be held in MandelHall in case of rain.In addition, a barbecue dinnerand “Spectacular,” arranged byIrv Kupcinet, will be held onStagg Field for the athletes afteropening ceremonies at SoldierField next Thursday. At the bar¬becue, provided by an anonymousdonor, the Chicago park districtexpects an attendance between3,000 and 10,000. A special stageand stands are being erected onthe field for the event.To the student center of the newdorms, 5835 Woodlawn, an ex-Hutchins to give speechRobert M. Hutchins willmake one of his rare pablicappearances in Chicago nextmonth as one of the two fea¬tured speakers at the centenialcelebration of the Jewish Familyand Community service, accordingto Sidney Berkowitz, an officialof the organization.Hutchins, former Chancellor ofthe University of Chicago and pre¬sently president of the Fund forthe Republic will speak on thetopic “Today’s major social issuesand their implications.’' Featuredwith Hutchins at the September 20 celebration will be Doctor Na¬hum N. Glatzer, a professor ofJewish history at Brandeis Uni¬versity.Berkowitz explained that Hut¬chins was invited to address thegroup because they wanted “a ma¬jor figure with important thingsto say.”The meeting, which will be heldat the Palmer house, is open tothe public and students are in¬vited. Reservations are $6.50 perindividual and may be sent to theJewish Family and communityservice. hibition of 36 “Drawings fromLatin America,” sponsored by theRenaissance society, will be onview until September 7.Rockefeller chapel and a num¬ber of community churches willprovide special Spanish servicesfor the visiting athletes duringthe Games.A fleet of fifty white Pontiacs,many of them convertibles, man¬ned by members of the ChicagoFire Department, will be on handin the parking lot of Ida Noyes toconvoy officials and small groupsof athletes to practice sessionsand other official business.And while the athletes are eat¬ing, sleeping ,and being enter¬tained on campus, they will alsobe working out on many of theUniversity’s athletic facilities inpreparation for competition.To make the neighborhood safeand cheerful for the athletes,work has continued at high speedon new street lights for south¬west Hyde Park—the last loca¬tion in the area to get new lights—and police protection lias beenincreased, with Chicago’s “rovingsquad” frequently lending a hand.Ida Noyes cafeteria, decoratedin Carnival Kaleidoscope by theCoca-Cola Company, now servesfree Cokes, Pepsi, and milk andice cream (courtesy of the Amer¬ican Dairy Association) around theclock to all comers. The main information desk onIda Noyes’ first floor, staffedfrom 10 am to 10 pm daily byvolunteers, has information on ac¬commodations, facilities, andsights in Chicago for the visitors.“They ask directions most fre¬quently,” said one of the inter¬preters. ‘The Museum of Scienceand Industry and the Loop arethe most popular spots. But theyalso ask about technical buildings,too. I never thought they wouldhave so much interest in tech¬nology.”Extra services are provided bythe Cluc-ago post office, which »asset up a branch post office inthe building, and the First Na¬tional Bank, which is running acurrency exchange.Former Olympic star JesseOwens, sponsored by Coca-Cola, isalso visiting Ida Noyes during theGames. Some of his trophies areon display in the library.A plethora of colorful tele¬phones, bearing the Pan Ameri¬can phone number BU 8-5950, arescattered throughout the building.“We’d like to restrict Ida Noyesto students, athletes and other of¬ficial people,” said Richard Stave-ley, University liaison representa¬tive on the village manager’sstaff. “But it will be difficult towork out a system.”A semicircle of flagpoles, bear¬Es un verdadero placer para mi el dar la bienvenida a nues-tros huespedes que vienen de los ostros paises americanos aChicago para participar en los Juegos Panamericanos.Creo que les interesara saber que de los estudiantes que sematriculum cada ano en la Universidad, mas del viente porciento del total los que se preparan par a la licenciatura y eldoctorado lo constituyen los estudiantes extranjeros. Tambiencerca de doscientos catedraticos e investigadores post-gradu-ados, de todos las lugares del mundo, nos visitan cada anopara trabajar en colaboracion con sus colegas chicaguenses.Desde hace mucho tiempo nos sentimos honrados del papelmundial que desempena nuestra Universidad en lo que se re-fiere al intercambio interectual, cultural y de trabajos de in¬vestigation; huelga anadir que creemos que los estudios acad-emicos obtienen graandes beneficios gracias a la presencia denuestros estudiantes y colegas extranjeros.La Universidad de Chicago tambien ha ocupado, tradicional-mente, desde los dias de su fpndacion en 1893, un lugar desta-cada entre todas las del pais en el campo del atletismo y de laeducation fisica. Normalmente, el numero de miembros quecompiten en encuentros deportivos “intra muros,” en dieci-nneve deportes, llega a mas 7.000 de un total aproximado deh.000 estudiantes.

He and an¬other panelist agreed that LatinAmerican nations should try tohelp themselves rather than seekinvestment aid from the UnitedStates and other countries.You may be interested to know that of the students en- SHbpII QO0S EdStrolled in the University each year, those from countries other ^than the United States constitute upwards of 20 per cent ofthe entire graduate student body. Some two hundred foreignprofessors and post-doctoral research scholars from all partsof world also join us each year to work in collaboration withtheir fellow specialists at Chicago. For a long time we havetaken pride in our world role of scholarly and intellectual in¬terchange; it is hardly necessary to add that we believe theacademic enterprise is much enriched by the presence of ourforeign students and colleagues.This University has also been by tradition a leader amongcolleges and universities of the United States in the field ofathletics and physical education since the days of its establish¬ment in 1893. Currently, membership on the teams competingintramurally in league schedules in nineteen sports totals over7,000 among our approximately 6,000 students. Our varsityteams in eleven intercollegiate sports give an excellent accountof themselves, and had an extraordinarily good year in 1958-’59. The only major intercollegiate sport in which our studentscan have no team is football (as distinct from futbol, i,e., soc¬cer) ; the reason for this is complex, and I will venture to sug¬gest that you may find it an interesting subject to raise in yourconversations with University people. Meanwhile, in soccer wedo have one of the relatively few varsity teams in the country.Please feel, then, that you are entirely en su casa while youare at the University.

He went on to explain that thehousing office is making every conceivable effort to find new accommodations for thesemen.This situation was occasionedby the unexpectedly large de¬mands made upon dormitoryspace by the entering class. “Thelatest figures on the number ofundergraduate students admittedto the University for 1959-60 indi¬cates that the entering class thisFall will be considerably largerthan originally predicted,” New¬man commented.“Since these students are re¬quired by the University to liveIn Residence halls, our only alter¬native is to convert space origin¬ally reserved for graduate men toundergraduate use. We have re¬luctantly decided, therefore, tomake the top three floors ofMathews house a residence forundergraduate men. “This decision was a difficultone to make because of the incon¬venience it brings to those gradu¬ate students who have alreadybeen assignd; it was made onlyafter a long (and fruitless) searchfor an alternate solution.” Roomsare available for the eight dis¬placed students in Kelly, Snell-Hitchcock, International houseand the Chicago Theological semi¬nary dormitory. Double rooms areavailable in Coulter, Internationalhouse and the CTS dorm.These eight students are alsooffered the option of cancellingtheir contracts for rooms with afull refund of their twenty fivedollar deposit.Newman went on to state thatno room space is left for under¬graduate male transfer students,or for any graduate men. How¬ ever, these students can turn in anapplication, with a twenty-five dol¬lar refundable deposit, and will beplaced upon the waiting list.The administrators of the Hous¬ing office have expressed a realregret that they have been unableto provide housing for all the stu¬dents who wish to live in resi¬dence.Much of this pressure will bealleviated upon the completion ofthe New Men's dorms, currentlyunder construction at 55th streetand University, according to New¬man."In the meantime," he conclud¬ed, "we will do our best to assisteach student to find suitable ac¬commodations either in the resi¬dence halls or in University spon¬sored housing in the neighbor¬hood.

"It’s now possiblet„ rnve many particulars about thecourses'which will be offered."“However,” he hastened to add,“there are many questions whichcan t be answered yet. There are anumber of decisions which haveyet to be made."Most of the reading lists for thenew college courses have beendrawn up. In general, they are butreduced versions of the readinglists of the old comprehensivecourses.‘The new General educationcourses,” Simpson continued, “em¬body the content of the old one,but as shorter sequences have tobo offered as alternatives to fullsequences (e.g., a two-quartercourse as well as a three-quartercourse, or a five-quarter course aswell as a six-quarter course)there will have to be condensationin these cases.“Current syllabi will still be used for these courses. While Icannot vouch for specific read¬ings, I can hardly imagine thatsome of the 'classics’ of thesecourses—On Liberty, The Repub¬lic, Gibbon, Thucydides—would beelminated.”In all of the courses, new addi¬tions have been made; the collegestaffs are constantly revisingtheir reading lists.While most of the fourteen com¬prehensive courses will still beavailable this fall, a few have beendropped, many have beenabridged, and all have had theirnames changed.French TIABC and GermanTIABC have been eliminated fromthe college program. These cours¬es were designed for studentswith same knowledge of the lan¬guages but lacking satisfactoryproficiency. They were essentiallya half year course spread overtwo quarters.In the new college foreign lan¬guage courses are either two orthree quarters long; students whowould earlier have been placed in the TIABC sections will now onlybe held for two quarters.The OMP-natural sciences bio¬logical and the OMP natural sci¬ences physical comprehensivecourse have both been discontinued. No equivalent courses areoffered as divisionals, althoughseveral substitutes are available.Social sciences one has been de¬leted from the college program. Inits place is offered social sciences111-112 and 113, new collegecourses required of entering stu¬dents. The material of the old so¬cial sciences one course will beamalgamated into the new six-quarter social science sequence,according to Simpson.Natural sciences two has alsobeen dropped. No exact equiva¬lent is available, although the newcollege two-quarter course rough¬ly corresponds to the first twoquarters of the old course.When asked why natural sci¬ence two was dropped, one mem¬ber of the staff opinioned that itwas due to strong departmentalpressure. Simpson amended thisstatement by simply assertingTax to edit 'Anthropology'A new scholarly journal, edited by Sol Tax and based on suggestions made by anthro¬pologists the world over, will join the ranks of the journals published at the Universitywith its first issue in January. Now entering the final stages of planning, with an intro¬ductory “Pre-Issue” to be published soon, Current Anthropology will attempt to facilitateinterdisciplinary and worldwide —communication among profes¬sionals in the sciences of man.The journal is sponsored byNew York’s Wenner-Gren founda¬tion for Anthropological Research,under a program which beganseveral years ago with the founda¬tion’s sponsorship of a yearbookof Current Anthropology. Taxwas asked by the foundation tohold a series of regional confer¬ences with other anthropologiststo discuss whether such a year-,book, containing survey articlescovering most anthropologicalfields, should be published an¬nually.However, opinions generally fa¬vored a journal because of itsgreater immediacy and continuity.At present the journal is sched¬uled to appear bi-monthly, withabout 96 pages of 8Va by It inchsize in each issue. It is printed bythe Baird Ward Printing co. ofNashville.Over the past two years, open-minded editor Tax has been sentby Wenner-Gren around andacross the world gathering ideasand members for the journal. Hismost recent and final series of“Current Anthropology confer¬ences’’ was held during June andJuly, and took him by airplaneto the Soviet Union, Poland,Czechoslovakia, Egypt, the Sudan,West Africa, France and England.“I had no pre-conceived ideasabout Current Anthropologywhen we started the conferences,”Tax noted. “It’s their journal."To facilitate their active partici¬pation in the affairs of the jour¬nal, professional anthropologistsare being invited to become “Asso¬ciates in Current Anthropology.”So far more than 1,600 leading an-ARISTOCRATSHOE REPAIRProfessional Dyeingand Refinishing ofShoes and Handbags• Colors (notched 9 Toes cut out• Vamps lowered • PlatformsremovedEQUIPPED TO REPAIR LADIES'NARROW HEELSHeels changed — Any style —Any colorBackstraps Removed and Springa-lotors inserted — Shoes stretched— Zippers repaired — Orthope¬dic work.O'Sullivan'sRubber ProductsFAirfax 4-96221749 East 55th St. thropologists — a majority ofthem from outside the UnitedStates — have indicated their wil¬lingness to be Associates.

Libraries and other indi¬viduals will pay the regular sub¬scription price of $10 a year.Although Current Anthro¬pology will be worldwide, its arti¬cles will all be printed in English,the language most frequentlyused by anthropologists today. Amultilingual journal was reject¬ed because it would cost more andthe advantages of a common lan¬guage would be lost.In line with its aim of survey¬ing progress in all the sciences ofman, Current Anthropology willprint general articles with exten¬sive bibliographies, summarizingthe status of research in a givenfield. Each manuscript will be cir¬culated before publication to ahalf dozen scholars for comments;the author may then alter h i smanuscript according to sugges¬tion or include the comments infootnote form. Thus each articlewill be given a “symposium" treat¬ment.Some of the manuscripts sched¬uled for the first few issues are“Recent Advances in the FieldStudies of Private Sociology,” byKinji Imanishi of Kyoto Univer¬sity, Japan; ‘ Panorama of DanceEthnology,” by Gertrude Kurathof Ann Arbor, Mich.; “HumanEcology During Pleistocene andLater Times in Africa South of the Sahara,” by J.

Pikelis are theassociate editors.Current Anthropology will in¬clude a “news notes” column, ed¬ited by Roland W. Force of theChicago Natural History Museum,but no book reviews. There arealso no plans for advertising. Thejournal will receive financial back¬ing from the Wenner-Gren foun¬dation for its first five years.The “Pre-Issue,” to be publishedaround the first of September,will be a 16-page sample of thejournal. It will include a historyof Current Anthropology, exam¬ples of the style to be used forarticles, statistical information onthe Associates and a subscriptionprice list. The cost of the journalin foreign countries is based noton the official equivalent of $2,but on the equivalent in purchas¬ing power of $2 in America.A directory of the Associates,with information regarding theirspecialties and interests, will beincluded in the first issue. It isbased on a file of informationcards sent in by the Associates.Among the features designed tomake Current Anthropology moreuseful will be a page of generalinformation, such as on weightsand measures, currency equiva¬lents, or calendars, on the insideback cover each month.Ellen Coughlin Beauty Salon5105 Lake Park Ave. MI 3-2060SPECIALISTS IN HAIR STYLINGAND PERMANENT WAVINGOpen Mon. - Sat. — 9 a.m. -11 p.tn.PROGRESSIVE PAINT & HARDWARE CO.“Hyde Park's Most Complete Paint & Hardware Store" >Wallpaper — Gifts — Tools Rented — HousewaresUC DiscountHY 3-3840-1 1154-58 E. 55th st.NOBBY HOUSEwe specialize inRound-0-Beef and WafflesOpen from Down to Down RESTAURANT1342east 53 st. that “the new sequence, biology111, 112 plus an elective, is supe¬rior to the old course.”(editor’s note): While severalcourses have been discontinued,they were all either first yearcourses or courses with sparse en¬rollments.

Nat¬ural sciences three physical hasnot been offered on this campussince 1957-58.Finally the one-quarter basicmathematics skills course hasbeen discontinued as such. Stu¬dents who would have been heldfor this rudimentary skills coursewill now be held for a three-quar¬ter mathematics course, insteadof the customary two.The course which appears leastchanged of all of this is Historyof western civilization. It will beoffered as both a three-quartercourse and two-quarter sequence.The year formerly began with astudy of the interpretation of his¬tory, and continued with eightmore topics running from theGreek Polis to the 19th century.The new course will begin withthe Greek polis, through theFrench revolution in two quar¬ters, in its third quarter it willtake up the 19th cenutry and thestudy of the interpretation of his¬tory.All of the courses have had their names changed. Mathe¬matics ABC is now mathematics101-102-103; social sciences twoABC is now social sciences 021-022-023; humanities three is nowcalled humanities 201-202-203. Thislast mentioned sequence shouldnot be confused with the courseslast year offered by the generalcommittee on humanities (theMcClean committee) which hadthese same numbers. The commit¬tee’s courses are now numberedin the humanities 250s.“Changes in the program makesome review of the examining sys¬tem and schedule essential,”Simpson commented. “There canno longer be one grand session ofcompreliensives in the spring nowthat sequences are of varyinglengths.“Experiments with a cumula¬tive comprehensive credit willcontinue. Natural science twotried this successfully last yearand the English staff has permis¬sion to do so next year.” The prin¬ciple here is that credit for workdone during the year is combinedwith credit obtained in the com¬prehensive.Simpson also suggested the pos¬sibility that area examinations atthe completion of the general edu¬cation period might well be ex¬plored.“You will see,” Simpson con¬cluded, “that the whole questionis open to review, but there isevery intention of preserving thevirtues of comprehensive exami¬nations under the new conditions.”Adams now surgery headDr. William E. Adams, holder of the James Nelson andAnna Louise Raymond professorship of surgery, and a Uni¬versity faculty member since 1928, has been named chairmanof the department of surgery, it was announced by LowellT- Coggeshall, dean of the divisionof biological sciences.Adams will succeed Dr. DwightE. Clark, who died July 24, aschairman.Widely known for his develop¬ment of new techniques in sur¬gery or the thorax, Adams hasfor the past ten years been study¬ing pulmonary hypertension, andis presently working under a$300,000 grant from the John A.Hartford foundation on the dis¬ease, which involves increasedpressure in the blood deliveredto the lungs.At present Adams is also seniorconsulting surgeon at Chicago’sMunicipal Tuberculosis sanitari¬um, the Suburban Cook Countytuberculosis sanitarium in Hins¬dale, and the Great Lakes Navaltraining station hospital.He received his M.D. degree in1926 from the University of Iowacollege of medicine and came toChicago in 1928 as a fellow in sur¬gery. He has been on the teachingstaff since 1931.TIis experiments have shownthat many patients will surviveeven without 50 to 60 per cent oflung tissue, and he has devised tests to estimate the safety mar¬gins in lung surgery, based on thepatient’s lung efficiency. In 1933he assisted in the first successfuloperation for the removal of anentire lung for cancer.Five years later he and the lateDr. Dallas B. Phemister, also ofthe University, conducted thefirst single step operation to re¬move the esophagus for cancerand reestablish continuity of thedigestive tract. The patients ofboth the 1933 and 1938 operationsare still living.Dr. Peter V. Moulder, associ¬ate professor of surgery, and Dr.Edwin T. Long, surgery researchassociate and attending surgeonat Hinsdale sanitarium, are work¬ing with Adams in the researchproject on pulmonary hyperten¬sion, which generally results fromcongenital heart defects or ob¬structions in the lungs.Dr. N.

It seems that the Internationaltrade fair rented La Coquette, the balloonmade famous in Around the World in Eighty Days.We also discovered that the entire crew whichtook care of the gigantic passenger vehicle wasfrom Hyde Park; most of them were UC students.Finally, we came across a series of pictures show¬ing Dick D’Anjou, associate director of the Uni¬versity theatre being pushed out of the balloon.The opportunity seemed too good to miss.The story, written as a parody of recent articlesin the Balloon appearing in the Sun-Times beganby stating: Near tragedy was averted by the ac¬tion of five Hyde Park residents. The last sentenceread, “The body of D'Anjou has not yet been re¬covered.” The story of course was a gag, and itseemed patently obvious to us that the article wasonly a satirical bit of nonsense. Our convictions, were somewhat shaken when we discovered thata collection had been started for D’Anjou’s mother.D'Anjou, who was in New York when the storyappeared, was somewhat surprised upon his re¬turn when several acquaintances expressed greatrelief in seeing that he had been recovered afterall.Perhaps we should not have published the arti¬cle, quite possibly it constituted an error in judg¬ment, however, we were not too abashed about itall. For one reason, it was a well written satire.Secondly, if it was a mistake it was a minor oneand we can't feel very contrite about learning byexperience in a Dewey stronghold.If any doubts remain we want to shout forthto the world that the body of D’Anjou has beenrecovered and reclaimed and is currently on viewalmost every evening in Freddy’s bar.

D'Anjou's miraculousescope is due to the fact that he fell from the baloon directly on toone of the navy's battleships which was touring Lake Michigon tocelebrate the opening of the International Trade Fair.Bells, bells Brazen bellsJapanese letterThe first floor of the buildingis the public center of the PanAmerican village and it is repletewith free coke machines, freePepsi cola machines, free milk, We thought we had a firm gripfree ice cream and a free juke on the situation, until the after¬box (one hundred and sixty selec- noon we walked into Ida and dis-tions, hi fidelity streophonie and covered the loud speaker playingincluding: the snake and the book Boleros on the second floor, theworm!) translators, guides, two juke box playing “Lower—chacolor television sets, teletype ma- cha cha” on the first floor and the _ . ,chines, information desks, a small fifth army band outside the win- *rier,C*S’post office and Walter Jeschke, dow playing “Chicago.” At this Greetings from Japan.

Burkhardt, a Chicago graduate of ’56 who was active in manystudent activities including Nu Pi Sigma, Interdorm council, and theStudent Alumni committee during her college days, has been editorof the magazine since October 1958.Howard M. Mort, executive director of the Alumni association, gaveyour reporter some information about the early history of the maga¬zine. which was first published in March, 1907 with George O. Fair-weather, ’07, as editor. The 45 page first issue contained a report byDavid A. Robertson, secretary to President Judson, with the sur¬prising news that although the University had been consistently runon an annual deficit—which John D. Rockefeller had been consistentlypaying—the budget had finally been balanced, and there actually was$289.59 left in the treasury! Other articles contained news and fea¬tures in accordance with the plan for the magazine printed in thisearly issue:This reporter was also shown the Robert Sibley Magazine awardpresented by the American Alumni council for the best alumnimagazine in the nation—a handsome bronze plaque with the inscrip¬tion, “Awarded to the University of Chicago 1952 in the interest ofencouraging high standards of alumni magazines.” The Chicagomagazine was judged the best alumni magazine three years laterwhen in 1957 it again received the top Robert Sibley award, and alsowalked off with more awards than any alumni magazine had everreceived at one time. These included first place in feature articles,student news coverage, appearance, and coverage of the institution,as well as a certificate of special excellence from the judges for thethre-pai t story of William Rainey Harper, written by Milton Mayer.This feature became so popular that it was later published in bookform under the title, “Young Man in a Hurry.”Felicia Anthenelli, editor of the magazine when it received theseawards, and now a member of the Editorial department of Universitypress, remarked, “The magazine is unique because rather than takingthe view that alumni are interested in simply reminiscing about thegood old days, the editors have assumed that the alumni are inter¬ested intellectually about what is going on at the University. Themajor portion of the magazine has always been devoted to firstclass articles dealing with research on campus, and to explorationsinto all fields.” She added that the interest of the Chicago faculty whocontribute many outstanding articles add to the magazine's highquality.Small Cheese .... 95cSmall Sausage . .$1.15NICKYS1235 E. 55 NO 7-9003 24-HourKodachrome colarMmprocessingModel Camera Shop1342 E. 55th HY 3-9259GLADIS restaurant1527 E. 55»h DO 3-9788We Specialise in Welt-Balanced Meals atPapular Prices, and Midnite SnacksOPEN ALL NIGHT — ORDERS TO GOUniversal Army StoreHeadquarter* far sport and * cork wearFlop pocket wash £r wear ivy league trousers — Wash & wear dressshirts — camping equip. — Complete line of keds footwear — trenchcoats — luggage and trunks.1144 East 55th st.

The plotcenters around the conditions sur¬ rounding the death of a youngman on a journey with his wife.The story is told in very differ¬ent versions by the witnesses in¬volved, the robber who encountersthe two, a woodcutter, the wife,and the spirit of the dead manspeaking through a medium. Thefilm is well-acted, beautifully di¬rected and very worth seeing.Playing with Rashomon is TheRoots, a Mexican film also told infour vignettes, and also, concernedwith an incident in which rape isinvolved. This is probably the onlyinterlocking theme between thetwo movies, although each is goodin its own way.I July Chattei-ley's Lover, madefrom the much-banned book cur¬rently selling out at Woodworth’s,is playing at the World playhouse.The film probably wavers betweenexcitement and disgust, depend¬ing upon the worth of the produc¬tion.The Surf is still showing TheDiary of Anne Frank, a ratherdull, but in many ways quite in¬teresting movie. The acting is de¬cent to good generally, and thephotography excellent.Various theaters in town areproducing various mediocre orfrankly bad plays, comedies forthe most part. The Shubert seemsdetermined to rival the Fair La¬dy’s Chicago record with The Mu¬sic Man, Hildegarde is at theDrury Lane, The Law and Mr.Simon will play at the Edgewaterplayhouse until September 6th,the Hinsdale theatre is presentingWho Was That I July I Saw YouWith Ijist Night until August 24th when Yes, Man will open, and theTheatre-on-the-Lake will run NoTime for Sergeants tonight and to¬morrow night and open The Rain¬maker on August 25th.The Art Institute is featuringan exhibition entitled The UnitedStates Collects Pan American Art,which opened July 22nd. Despiteits title, the exhibit is both inter¬esting and valuable. The paint¬ings, chosen by Chicago collectorJoseph Shapiro, include works bysuch artists as Tamayo, Riopelle,Matta and Lam.Also in semi connection withthe Pan American Games is theChicago natural history mu¬seum’s exhibition, “Indian Art ofthe Americas,” probably the firstmajor exhibit to show WesternIndian art collected from Alaskato the Magellan straits. If as welldone as the Museum’s South Pa¬cific exhibit this display should bedecidedly worth consideration.Next week the Shaw society ofChicago, in conjunction with Chi¬cago’s Festival of the Americaswill present three dramatic read¬ings. Tuesday at 8:00 in the HotelSherman, Ruth Ford and Zachary Scott will read selections frompoems and plays by L. C. Cum¬mings and Garcia Lorca.

ChaseDean of the Graduate School of EducationFROM ITS BEGINNINGS, the University hasacknowledged that one of its major objectives isthe improvement and advancement of educationat all levels. Although the University has alwaysplaced its primary emphasis upon research andteaching at the graduate level, it began in theearly days under President Harper to experimentnot only with the undergraduate curriculum butto explore educational patterns at junior college, highschool, elementary and nursery school levels.Under a variety of organizational patterns it has con¬tinued, not only to explore possibilities but to experi¬ment with them. Thus the first School of education,abolished in the nineteen thirties, was composed of aCollege of education, the Department of education, andthe Laboratory schools, each dealing with a separatepart of the large problem of preparing teachers, conduct¬ing educational research, and contributing in other waysto the study and improvement of education.This first school was dissolved to emphasize the con¬cept that the preparation of teachers is an all-Universityfunction. Unfortunately, no remaining unit of the Uni¬versity specifically carried the responsibility for direct¬ing UC's resources toward this purpose.Consequently, the contribution of the education de¬partment to teaching in elementary and secondary schoolhad not achieved a significance consonant with theUniversity’s desires or the demands of our times. More¬over, the Laboratory schools steadily lost connectionwith the University, preventing full realization of theirpotential contribution to the study of educational prob¬lems and the improvement of educational practice.Year of discussionTHE DECISION to establish a graduate School of edu¬cation on a new pattern was reached after more than ayear of discussion, and the new school was establishedofficially July 1, 1958. The functions of the school centeraround the preparation of teachers for elementary andsecondary schools, and other contributions to the im¬provement of practice in the schoCt's.The School neither replaces nor eliminates the Depart¬ment of education, which has continued its primaryemphasis on research and on assisting graduate studentsto assimilate existing knowledge.and to contribute tothe discovery of new knowledge in the field of education.Master’s and PhD degrees in such fields as adulteducation, administration, curriculum, educational psy¬chology, and social foundations will continue to beawarded by the Department of education through theSocial science division, while the Masters of Arts inTeaching and other professional degrees are now award¬ed through the School of education.The School serves as an agency to enlist the active col¬laboration in teacher education and in curriculum studyand revision of various academic parts of the University.It includes the University’s pre-collegiatc s hools — theNursery school, the Elementary schoo’ Lie Universityhigh school and Orthogen^* all of whichcontribute import! .stly to the prep. of teachers aswell as to rcsearcr. and the tryout of s leading to theimprovement of practice.The School also includes the University’s combinedresearch, training, and service agencies such as theAudio visual center, the Comparative education center,the Midwest administration center, the Reading clinic,and the School improvement program. In addition, theSchool serves as the coordinating agency for the effortsof the College and of the several graduate departmentsengaged in the preparation of teachers. Among the School’s objectives are:• To increase knowledge about how learning takes place.• To prepare teachers who are skillful in expeditinglearning.• To improve the content of instruction in our schools.• To reorganize schools for more effective learning.• To help schools to organize teaching teams to makemore effective use of specialized talents.Francis S. Chase is currently professor ofeducation, Chairman of the Department of Ed¬ucation and Dean of the Graduate school ofeducation at the University of Chicago. He hasheld previous positions as principal of two Virginiahigh schools, as executive secretary of the Virginiaeducation association, as Director of the Rural edi¬torial service and the Education communication serv¬ice, and as Director of UC’s Midwest Administrationcenter. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from theUniversity of Virginia and his doctorate from the Uni¬versity of Chicago.• To demonstrate the possibility of accelerating learn¬ing through the use of films, television, and othermodern aids to learning.The major implementation of these objectives willcome through three kinds of programs: teacher educa¬tion, school improvement, and research in education.Special program offeredFOR THE PAST THREE YEARS the Department ofeducation has been experimenting with a special pro¬gram for the preparation of elementary-school teacherswhich has reduced the time spent in methods courses,increased the time given to a liberal education, andbrought about a closer relationship between theory andits application to practice. This program is open to selected students In the fourthyear of the College at the University of Chicago or as afifth-year program for those who have already earnedthe "Bachelor's degree in liberal arts colleges,A grant made this April by the Ford foundation’s Fundfor advancement of education has made it possible toaccept an increased number of student teachers and totrain additional staff members who will become instructors in teachers colleges and in the teacher-educationprograms of the liberal arts colleges. Both these endsare to be served by adding to the present staff a numberof teaching interns who may prepare themselves forpositions in other institutions through active participation in the School of education’s teacher training pro¬gram. *New program graduates nineteenIN THE PREPARATION of secondary school teachersthe major development has been the establishment of theMaster of Arts in Teaching program, emphasizing rigorous graduate work in the teaching field, combined withan internship of a year as a member of a teaching teamin a cooperating school. This summer the first gradu¬ates of this program, nineteen candidates for the degreeof Master of Arts in the Teaching of Mathematics willreceive their degrees.The training program was developed by the mathe¬matics department in cooperation with the School ofeducation, and was supported by the National Sciencefoundation through the Institutes for teachers of mathematics.In all cases the Master of Arts in teaching degree isgiven in cooperation with the department of the University covering the candidate’s field of specialization,and cannot be awarded without the agreement andapproval of that department.Faculty committees including scholars in the spe¬cialized area of knowledge, one or more specialists ineducation as a field of study, and one or more personswith extensive experience with high school teaching inthe particular field, assume responsibility for choosingthe components and organizing the student’s program,and for organizing seminars which attempt to focus thestudent’s learning on his own preparation for teaching.The school improvement program is directed towardbetter organization of the teaching staff, more effectivegrouping of pupils, better use of modern teaching aids,and other improvements in school practice. With theassistance of the Ford Foundation Grant, this programwill provide opportunities to record and generalize thefindings of present experimentation in education so thatthey may be incorporated into practice in many schools.Research covers wide scopeA great deal of significant research is now being conducted in connection with the School of education. Thisresearch is concerned with such problems as motivation, variations in the learning styles of individuals, cultural and social-class influences on learning, and thepossibility of enhancing learning through the use offilms, TV, and other audio-visual media.Much of this research is conducted with the use of thefacilities of the Laboratory school, administered by theEducation school. Because of this close connection be¬tween the Lab school and the School of education, newideas in teaching and in the improvement of the learningprocess from the nursery through secondary schoollevels can be more easily tried out and evaluated.The School of education also works closely with thepublic schools through its school improvement programso as to encourage the development of creative ideasemanating from the staffs of these schools.Through these and similar programs the Universityexpects to strengthen its tradition of developing new andimproved methods of education at all levels,Russians catching up Award 447 degreesDegrees will be awarded by the newly established Graduateschool of education for the first time at the University’s twohundred and eighty-third Convocation, which will be held oneweek from today on Friday, August 28.Russian scientists appear tobe making a concerted effortto "catch up** with the Westin the study of the mechan¬isms of living creatures, said twoChicago scientists who have madea tour of Soviet physiology lab¬oratory facilities in Moscow, Len¬ingrad, Kharkov, Kiev, and Suk¬humi. The trip was sponsored bythe US Public Health serviceNational Institute of Arthritis andMetabolic diseases.Dwight J. Ingle, chairman ofthe Department of physiology atUC, and Dr. Rachmiel Levine,chief of the Pepartment of med¬icine at Michael Reese hospital,found Russian scientists friendlyand cooperative.They came away with the con¬viction that “contact between sen¬ior people in the sciences of theU. S. and Soviet Union Ls Impor¬tant, but that it is also importantthat there be exchanges of youngresearch people working in thelaboratories of both countries,”according to Dr. Levine.Ingle and Levine found thatthe Russian study of physiologyis being retarded by a devotion tooutdated scientific beliefs. “Wor¬ship of a few scientists and of dog¬mas have been substituted fororiginality and creativity as thebasis of scientific discovery in thebiological sciences,” they said:The two Chicago scientistsfound that Russian physiological research is still dominated by thework of Ivan Pavlov, the widely-known Russian scientist who inthe late 1800s conducted classicexperiments on conditioning dogs.As a result, Ingle and Levine said,the Russian research emphasis inphysiology is on the functions ofthe nervous system, and they con¬sider the study of reflexes to bemuch more important than doWestern scientists.In the study of glandular secre¬tions, the “Russians use the ex¬perimental approach of Pavlovwherever possible,” Ingle said. Hereported watching researchersstudy the body’s production of in¬sulin with Pavlovian laboratoryequipment — dogs and a bell orbuzzer. Western scientists, Inglenoted, would use much more com¬plex means of studying the rela¬tionship between the nervous sys¬tem and the glands, such as elec¬trical stimulation of the brain, orthe study of the biochemistry ofthe central nervous system.“We in the West respect Pavlovas an extraordinarily importantand creative man in physiology,but this wouldn’t cause any of usto repeat his research when bettermethods for the study of bodilyfunctions are available,” Ingle andLevine said.The most impressive Russianfacility on the tour, according tothe two Chicago scientists, was ascientific monkey colony at the Russian city of Sukhumi, locatedon the Black sea. The colony,which is part of the Institute ofExperimental Pathology andTherapy contains 2,500 monkeyswhich have been studied over along period of time, so that theirhereditary patterns and charac¬teristics are known.Such knowledge is valuablewhen the monkeys are used as ex¬perimental subjects in the studyof human disease because it en¬ables researchers to better evalu¬ate the results of their experi¬ments, said Dr. Levine.Scientific fields in the SovietUnion are more sharply sepa¬rated, said Levine, than in tiieU. S. where researchers mayuse the knowledge of in anyfields in an integrated manner.Levine is an authority on dia¬betes and has studied the mannerin which oral insulin drugs workin the body. A noted hormone re¬searcher, Ingle was the discovererof many of the biological effectsof the hormone cortisone and hy¬drocortisone. Nineteen masters of arts inteaching will be awarded by theGraduate school which firstopened its doors last autumn, ac¬cording to its Dean, FrancesChase.This is, however, but a smallpart of the four hundred andforty seven degrees which will bepresented.The main address at the con¬vention will be on the topic “An¬cient patterns of education.” Thishas been prepared and will bedelivered by Gertrude E.
