IIC faculty opinion:Criticize Kennedy changes(Chester Bowles, as he outlined President Kennedy's foreign Ipolicy in Mandef hall last year.IVI to view city schoolsA three man panel willdiscuss “Equal educationand the Chicago publicschools” Thursday.The participants are Robert J.Havighurst, professor of educa¬tion: Raymond W. Pasnick, amember of the Chicago board ofeducation; and Paul B. Zuber, aNow York attorney and a leaderin the federal court legal battle against segregation in the Chi¬cago public schools.The discussion is being co¬sponsored by the campus and fifthward chapters of the IndependentVoters of Illinois (IVI). It willtake place at 8:15 pm in the Inter¬national house auditorium.“This discussion will include ageneral view of the problem ofschool segregation in the North,”stated Dave Wolf, vice-chairmanof the campus IVI group. IJC faculty membersvoiced varying opinions ofthe changes effected yester¬day by President JohnKennedy in his “new frontier’’administration.Kennedy has removed ChesterBowles from his position as under¬secretary of state, and has alsoshifted nine other administrativeassistants.Hans Morgenthau, professor ofpolitical science, said the switchof Bowles to a new post has beenexpected for more than sixmonths.Bowles will be replaeed byGe°rK£ W. Ball, now under¬secretary of state for economicaffairs. “Bali doesn’t belong in this(new) job,” noted Morgenthau.“he is basically an economist.”Bail has been doing Bowies’ workfor several weeks, and has com¬plained of .his new duties; heprobably didn’t want the new job,concluded Morgenthau.Ball will be replaced by GeorgeC. McGhee, now chairman of thepolicy planning couftcil — thestate department’s long rangeplanning staff. Ball's old title ofundersecretary for economic af¬fairs will be eliminated, andMcGhee will be known as under¬secretary for political affairs. McGhee will be replaced bypresidential adviser Walter Ros-tow. Rostow is a professor ofeconomic history at the Massachu¬setts Institute of Technology.Morgenthau noted that thechange of Walt W. Rostow fromassistant to the President fornational security affairs to coun¬selor of the state department andchairman of the policy planningstaff (the state department’s longrange arm) is an unexpectedchange, even though it is the jobRostow originally wanted in thenew frontier.This is a move "away from thecenter of power; Rostov will nowhave nothing to do with tlieformation of (immediate) policy,”according to Morgenthau. Rostowwill no have no more power thanSecretary of State Dean Ruskgives him, he added.It had been rumored that Ruskpreviously vetoed Rostow’s ap¬pointment to the policy planningstaff. Rostow is reputed to be abrilliant thinker, and some thinkhe is potentially a problem forRusk.In another change announcedSunday, W. Averell Harriman willmove from ambassador at large toundersecretary of state for fareastern affairs, an important post in the coming discussion of BedChina policy.“In far eastern affairs you musthave some one who has politicalstature as well as expertise,” com¬mented Tang Tsou, assistant pro¬fessor of political science.“A man with a strong politicalbase would have a larger measureof freedom of action. This is avery important consideration. Itis important to have a man withstrong political support (for thefar eastern post*,” Tsou added.Harriman “because of his politicalinfluence could probably summonmore support in the Democraticparty” for a new China policythan someone without his back¬ground, said Tsou.Harriman has little first-handexperience in the far east, but haswide diplomatic experience, es¬pecially as ambassador to theSoviet Union. He is an “excellentappointment in many ways,” saidTsou, noting that Harriman was“one of the first who correctlyjudged Soviet far eastern inten¬tions.”Tsou added that this is a pai>ticularly important time for Har-riman’s appointment since decis¬ions must be made on a Chinapolicy soon.

It must certainly re¬quire some fortitude to leer self-righteously in the face of so muchcogent criticism. Indeed, the un¬changing editorial and reportingpolicies of the Maroon reflect aremarkably severe, unbending na¬ture.The only annoying aspect of thisrigidity is your apparent refusalto consider the substance of theseobjections. It appears to me thatmany of the letters state validcomplaints. Certainly this can beadmitted in the cases of threepolitely outraged members of the faculty who wrote recently con¬cerning flagrant errors in report¬ing and unjustified bias in theeditorial remarks. (I refer toletters by Professors Haller,Meiklejohn and Slim).In fact, a seemingly inten¬tional refusal to report certainvital pieces of information ap¬pears to be a hallmark of theMaroon style. Why should reportsof six new courses in the socialscience department be omittedjust when the Maroon attacks anaction of that department? Whyare all of the piddling affairs ofStudent Government, NS A, etc.given so much space while liter¬ally dozens of other importantstudent activities go virtually un¬mentioned? If the Maroon were a privateundertaking or were distributedto subscribers, these objectionswould have less force But sincethe Maroon is a student paper,subsidized by University funds, it is not unreasonable to ask thatspace in the Mproon be moreequally and fairly distributedamong a broader group of stu¬dent interests and that reportingnot be biased by a disregard forthe facts.DR.

With this new computer display forplanes, a pilot will actually be abie to see his position thoughthe earth might be totally obscured by a cloud cover.In developing this display, IBM engineers and scientists solveda unique combination of optical and photographic problems.They were able to produce map images with good resolution onthe inside surface of a glass hemisphere. A beam of light illu¬minates a small section of this hemisphere and projects it ontoa screen in front of the pilot. In flight, the computer controlsrotation of the hemisphere, correlating it with the plane’ssupersonic progress and the rotating earth. This approach toa computer-controlled map display suggests further applica¬tion in a space navigation system, where a star map might beused instead of a map of the earth.

I am simply asking that asan activity supported by the Uni¬versity, the Maroon in its report¬ing policy should serve the inter¬ests of the entire University. Oneway of doing this would be torespond to the valid and con¬sidered objections of your readers.I hope that false pride will notmake it impossible for the Maroonto take criticism as seriously asit takes itself.Daniel GrossCorrects Maroon reportTo the editor:As a former student at LongIsland center, Oyster Bay, I wasvery interested in the articles inlast week’s Maroon on the con¬troversy at Oyster Bay. Therewere, however a few mistakes andmisleading statements which Iwould like to correct.<1) “Among the complaineeswere four division heads who werenot reappointed when Lee replacedtheir divisions with departmentslast spring.” Lee did not reappointthese men because they resigned,giving as one of their reasonsthat it was "impossible” to workwilh I^ec.(2) “Lee then asked Hamiltonto investigate the state universityadministration in Albany for per¬mitting the continuation of in¬competence, corruption, and cyni¬cal politics at SUCLI.” Lee didnot ask Hamilton to investigateIhe State university administra¬tion. Lee directed his attack atHamilton’s administration andasked Governor Rockefeller to in¬vestigate it.(3) “The day after his requestfor an investigation, Lee was firedby the board of trustees.” Leewas first asked to resinn. After1hat (two days later), Lee heldthe press conference at which herailed for an investigation intoState university policy.(4) "Porter is replacing SidneyGelber, who resigned when Leewas fired. Gelber is one of thethree deans who publicly backedIyTc’s policies W’hen Ihev camp un¬der attack. Arnold Feingold,another of these deans . . . hasalso resigned.” The three deanswho backed Lee's policy were thethree deans appointed by Lee.(5) "... Olsen refused to rehirethree science instructors.” Thethree men who were not rehiredat the lime when Olson was headadministrator were history in¬structors.1 would like to emphasize thatLee was fired because he was- in¬competent, not for any other rea¬sons.

There were a torrent ofabuses to the simple charm of“Land of Cards” which made theoutcome a near total loss. Aftera glance at an Oriental dancerbehind a filmed window, who setthe mood, the spell was brokenforever. The fairy-tale prince(Dennis Eubanks), dressed like az-efugee from the College of Com¬plexes (black sweater and pants),lounged about with his faithfulside-kick (Ron House) and man¬aged to provoke several sympa¬thetic yawns from the audience.He assumed verticality in timeto welcome his “beloved” (HelgaSchulz), who fluttered onstageand tenderly performed somegestures suggestive of a child-dancer’s warm-up exercises. Icannot see what dramatic meaningor general pleasure could havejustified presentation of the firstscene, at least as it was hereconceived.The rect of the play takesplace ; the card-peoplewhere ._ nice and friend havebeen shipwrecked. The strait-jacked formality of the cards issupposed to be always droll andsometimes hilarious, but therewere, in fact, very few momentsof genuine mirth. Except for thegood characterizations of Rever-ehd Ten (Tom Jordan), and Ace-of-Hearts (Jane Allen) there wasa general commitment to medioc¬rity. It was not necessary forJane Whitehill to shriek and raspany more than for her sister-card, Toby Hayman, to squeakher lines. Most of the cardsboomed ungraciously (they weresupposed to be mannerly) exceptfor the dominant King whosecasual monotone betrayed dis¬interest in the whole noisy game.The ensemble movements of theentire court inquire still moreformality and much better timingthan the cast achieved. This year’s Rockefellerchapel concerts opened lastSunday with a revival of Men¬delssohn’s “Elijah.” The workwas prepared and conducted byRichard Vikstrom, and performedby the chapel choir with its regu¬lar soloists, by members of theChicago Symphony orchestra, andby Natania Davrath, the brilliantIsraeli soprano, as guest soloist.The choir is now the finest in¬strument available to Vikstromsince he became director of chapelmusic. For example, in spiteof the superb gifts of Mme. Dav¬rath, the chapel soloists wei’e sing¬ing in the same league, conspicu¬ ously Edward Warner in the dra¬matic name-part, and Roger Pilletin the tenor airs.Time was when “Elijah” and“Messiah” were held in almostequal esteem. Since this is nolonger the case, one can approach“Elijah" afresh without havingfirst to remove the embalmingfluid previously injected by pioushands. But to revive any worksuccessfully one needs to believe init thoroughly and treat it as mas¬terpiece. This is exactly whatVikstrom did. Now the woi’k maystand on its own merits.As to what those merits are,there is a divergence of opinion.But whatever one’s opinion, it is plain that no composer in recenttimes has attained greater ease inthe mere technique of composi¬tion than did Mendelssohn, andthat his skill was directed towardsthe absorption of all the chiefmeans used by composers of the18th and early 19th centuries, sothat “Elijah,” written at theheight of the composer’s powers,becomes a lens through which toview any major choral work fromBach to Hindemith. It is a factof musical life that one learns ing to another of its kind. Eventhose who last Sunday turned uptheir noses at Mendelssohn willfind that when they go to thenext concert in the series and hearBach’s “Christmas Oratorio” (atwhich no one dares turn up hisnose, thanks largely to Mendels¬sohn), they will hear it differently—and better — for having listenedto “Elijah.”Professor of MusicGrosvenor CooperSCANDINAVIAN IMPORTSHOME OF MULTIFORM — THE UNIQUE STORAGE UNITS1542 EAST 57th STREETOpen Daily I PM. to 7 PM.
