UC admits housing segregationUC officials admitted yes¬terday that Negroes arebarred from living in sev¬eral buildings owned by theUniversity.But, according to presidentGeorge W. Beadle. “We are pro¬ceeding as fast as we can to at¬tain integration as soon as wecan.”Charges of UC segregationwere first presented by a grouprepresenting Student Govern¬ment and UC's chapter of theCongress of Racial Equality(('ORE). The group sponsored testcases in which Negro and whitestudents applied for apartmentsin University owned buildings. Ineach of the six cases, Negro stu¬dents were refused apartments,while white applicants were of¬fered apartments.An open meeting of CORE has been called for tonight, at whichthe situation will be discussed.The meeting is scheduled for 7:30pm in the East lounge of IdaNoyes hall. All interested stu¬dents are invited.Another meeting, to whichmembers of the administrationhave been invited, was called for8 pm Saturday in Mandel hall.Although no response from theadministration has yet been heard,it is hoped by SG and COREofficials that the president or hisdelegate will be there to explainUniversity policy.Friedman commentsSG president Leonard Fried¬man stated his group’s position,saying, “We deplore the Univer¬sity’s support and implementationof racial segregation in housingin the Hyde Park neighborhood.It is shocking and disgraceful to see one of this nation’s leadinginstitutions of higher learningpractice a policy which is almostuniversally considered to be total¬ly immoral.”Administrators concerned withproperty operated by the Uni¬versity explained that discrimina¬tion is practiced only in certaintypes of buildings. No buildingswhich are owned on a permanentbasis are segregated, accordingto Beadle.It is only in cases in whichbuildings which are bought andkept only for the purpose of ar¬resting deterioration that theracial policy of Ihe owner im¬mediately before UC is not re¬versed.Also, according to Ray Brown,UC vice president for administra¬tion and the officer in charge ofproperty holdings, no student isa a Chicagom arcronVol. 70 — No. 41 ^ versify of Chicago, Wednesday, Jan. 17, 1962 31Fill adufK<M,ucation postsPresident P*eadle yesterdayannounced two new appoint¬ments affecting the Universi¬ty’s adult education program.The first was that of John T.Wilson, special assistant to thenew Director of the Universityextension program. This gives himover-all responsibility for adilteducation.In the second. Beadle plaeedArthur R. Heiserman, assistantprofessor of English, in charge ofIhe academic phases of adult edu¬cation by making him associatedirector of the extension pro¬grams.Heiserman is a former directorof academic programs at theDowntown center and the currentdirector of the University’s cum¬mer session.Both Wilson and Heiserman willretain their present titles.Wilson and Heiserman will head.agencies including the Downtowncenter, the Home-study program,the office of radio and television,and various evening and Satur¬day adult education programs.In addition, the new Center forcontinuing education will comeunder their jurisdiction when itbegins operation next fall.In his new post, Wilson will re¬port to R. Wendell Harrison, Deanof the Faculties.He will co-ordinate all the ex¬tension and adult education pro¬grams and offices, working withthe deans of the various divisions,department heads, and especiallywith Alan Simpson, Dean of theCollege.The new appointments are partof President Beadle’s plan to je-organize adult education. % *The plan resulted from a studyof the University’s adult educationfacilities which Wilson made lastfall.The first part of the plan, an¬nounced two weeks ago, called lormoving the Downtown center tothe main quadrangle.In announcing this decision,Beadle and the Board of Trusteessaid the move would give the cen¬ter a permanent faculty and save91% of the present cost of itsoperation. Beadle also said that not elldowntown programs will be movedto campus, and that decisions onspecific courses and programs willbe made later.At present, Beadle believes thecourses with credit towards a de¬gree will be moved, but commun¬ity-oriented programs such as -hepre-professional program, the fir.earts program and the basic pro¬gram in liberal education will con¬tinue to be offered at a new down¬town location. denied an apartment because ofrace, creed, or color.President Beadle stated that thepurpose of the University is toeventually attain “stable integra¬tion’’ in all phases of communitylife. “But,” Beadle added, “wemust achieve this at a rate thatis tolerable as far as all the peopleinvolved are concerned. In anyactivity of this nature a com¬paratively long period of timemust be taken before a suitablesolution can be reached.”Progress claimedBeadle claimed that the Uni¬versity has “made enormous pro¬gress in the last twenty years.In the new townhouses and thehigh rise University apartments,for example, we have achieved astable integration. I think theUniversity is generally consideredto have made more progress thanany other institution I know of.Tremendous amounts of moneyand tremendous effort has beenexpended in our drive to attainintegration in Hyde Park.”Explaining the University’spolicy on integration in its build¬ings, Ray Brown said, “The Uni¬versity has, in the course of itsneighborhood program, acquiredcertain properties that were verydeteriorated but which were notdeteriorated enough to qualifyfor urban renewal. We acquiredthese properties on a temporarybasis—to prevent further deteri¬oration and to put them into con¬dition suitable for the kind ofcommunity that the University istrying to establish.“Some of these buildings areintegrated and some of them arenot,” Brown continued. “If weonly intend to hold a buildingtemporarily we do not make anyabrupt changes, which would tendto disrupt the area. In some ofthe segregated buildings the Uni¬versity does not ever take title,but merely provides a subsidy tothe owner.”A meeting was held yesterdaybetween CORE and SG represen¬tatives and Beadle, Brown anddean of students John P. Nether-ton. After the meeting BruceRappaport, chairman of UC’sCORE chapter, said, “We protest the University’s policy of racialdiscrimination in its off-campushousing. We cannot accept Presi¬dent- Beadle’s statement that forthe purpose of establishing a“stabilized” community sometimein the dim future that it is neces¬sary not to interfere in the l'acialdiscrimination being practiced bythe administrators of Universityowned or controlled housing.“We abhor this kind of endsjustify any means principle. Wecannot accept a policy, regard¬less of some vaguely defined end,if this policy means the main¬tenance of a shameful policy ofracial discrimination. We alsocannot accept the administration’spolicy that takes credit for theirnon-discriminatory policy in aca¬demic fields and then turns aroundand ignores its principles whenadministering its off-campus hous¬ing, refusing to take responsibilityfor the difference in their pub¬licly-stated policy and their actualpractice.”Practice a problemDiscussing this dichotomy be¬tween policy and practice, Beadlestated, “In this practical and farfrom ideal world you have tomove slowly enough so that youdon’t lose. If the University hadimmediately integrated all thehouses in Hyde Park that itbought ten years ago we wouldhave another situation such asexists in Woodlawn, and theUniversity wouldn’t be here to¬day."Beadle did claim that Universitypolicy toward discrimination hasbeen changing of late. He statedthat under the administration ofBrown, who moved into the vicepresidency last October 1, manymoves in the direction of inte¬gration have been made.Brown stated that immediateand total integration of the com¬munity might result in the flightfrom Hyde Park-Kenwood ofmany individuals. Said Brown,“If we were to move into somebuildings, as we do, integrate andphysically improve them, andmove out again there is a chancethat a good many people wouldpull out.”(continued on page four)Professors argue race equalityTwo University of Chica¬go professors and a ChicagoJunior college teacher haveentered a controversy overracial equality between a Univer¬sity of North Carolina professorand the American anthropologicalassociation (AAA).The UC professors countered acharge that an AAA resolution af¬firming the equality of the Negroand white races undermined ascientific study of the race prob¬lem which was to be undertakenshortly after the resolution’s pas¬sage.Dwight J. Ingle, chairman ofthe department of physiology, andManning Nash, associate professorof anthropology, each had lettersprinted in the Chicago Tribuneattacking an earlier letter by W.G. George, professor of histologyand embryology at the Universityof North Carolina. Ingle’s letterwas then attacked by Robert K.Taylor, of the social science de¬partment of Fenger junior college. ular vote or through the passingof resolutions.”Nash clarifies resolutionIn an answer to George, Nashquoted the actual resolution whichrepudiates statements “that Ne¬groes are biologically and in in¬nate mental ability inferior towhites, and reaffirms the fact thatthere is no scientifically esta¬blished evidence to justify the ex¬clusion of any race to the rightsguaranteed by the constitution.”By quoting the resolution. Nashpointed out that nowhere wereeither George or his study men¬tioned. and he showed that theresolution was meant to be asummary of the evidence on ra¬cial differences, not an attemptto establish scientific facts byvote.Ingle defines issueIngle then answered Nash’s let¬ ter by stating that the subject indispute is not whether Negroesare inferior to whites, but whetherthe average innate intelligenc ofthe whites is superior to that ofthe average Negro.He went on to say that thequestion has not been settled andthe average innate intelligence ofavailable evidence.He further pointed out thatsome individuals of each race areincompetent as citizens, and an“individual should be judged onthe basis of abilities, drives, andbehavioral standards without re¬gard to race.”“Observance of this principlewould avoid a lot of problems.”Ingle said, “including those cre¬ated by well meaning but misguid¬ed efforts to achieve desegrega¬tion by the forced random mixingof races in housing and schools.” Taylor in his letter attackedIngle’s statement about evidenceon racial differences. (“Evidencefor average racial differences ininnate intelligence exists in abun¬dance; not compelling evidence, itis true, but no less faulty than theevidence for racial equality in in¬telligence”).Taylor expressed belief thatthere is no sueh quality as innateintelligence, and he defined intel¬ligence itself as the “result of theinteraction of the inherited quali¬ties with the environment.”“Good genetic potential wi1 notdevelop optimally in an intellect¬ually impoverished environment,”he said, and “a poor heredity in anenriched environment will developnearer the upper limit of itspotential.”Burnside parents arrestedArthur Heiserman new as¬sociate director UC's adulteducation program. George originally wrote a letterto the Tribune criticizing a re¬cent AAA convention, where hewas requested by Alabama’s gov¬ernor Patterson to do a scientificstudy of the race problem. A re¬solution affirming the association’sbelief in the equality of the Negroand white races was also passedat the conference.In his letter, George stated thatthe resolution was passed withoutregard to his study and was di¬rected against his study. He ex¬pressed amazement that a “groupof reputable scientists” shouldpass such a resolution and thus“condemn and undermine a studybefore they have read it or be¬fore it has been completed.”“Scientific truth is establishedthrough the presentation of evi¬dence,” George said, “not by pop- Chicago Police arrested ITpersons who were protestingthe movement of several stu¬dents from Burnside to Gil¬lespie school.The parents were continuing a“sit-in” at Burnside elementaryschool at 91 and Langley in oppo¬sition to the transfer of 34 stu¬dents from that school to Gilles¬pie at 94 and State.J. Lance, editor of the Bulletin,a neighborhood paper, explained,“We (16 other people and I) ar¬rived at Burnside school thismorning and found the policewaiting there. They told us toleave and we refused.“We were arrested and takento the fifth district police office,”he said. The formal charges against theparents and other adults were tres¬passing and collecting “in a crowdor body for unlawful purposes orfor purposes of annoyance to otherpeople,” according to a fifth pre¬cinct official.The parents were never “placedbehind bars” but were finally re-leased by a court bond, signedby Judge Moran. This enables re¬lease from custody without bail.The parents were continuing thesit-in begun two weeks ago pro¬testing the student transfer. Be¬sides the sit-ins, half of the par¬ents of students involved in thetransfer have been keeping theirstudents from attending Gillespieschool.Seven students are still beingtutored by Mrs. Rita Phillips, aretired full-time teacher, and mother of children not attendingBurnside.The parents have been protest¬ing the transfer becauserthe trans¬fer “makes room in Burnside, anovercrowded Negro school, bytransfering Negro students to ano¬ther Negro school.” The parentswould prefer that some Burnsidestudents, namely, those living eastof Cottage Grove avenue, bo trans¬ferred to the Perry school, at 91and University.Perry school, the parents claimhas extra space, and is locatednearer to most of the students in¬volved than is Gillespie.A spokesman for the froup com¬mented that “if the board ofeducation did not uphold regre-gation it would be no trouble totransfer some of the Burnside stu¬dents to Perry.”i-1 ^Editorial LettersUC segregation criticized Denies authorshipm . 11 T~' /l: 1 4-liSnl/Snn> Vioe filacTo the Editor: thinking; has, alas, been wriThe admission yesterdayby leading University ofChicago administrators thatthe University practices dis¬crimination in several of the off-campus buildings it owns is oneof the most chocking events tooccur here in a long time.While many individuals havesuspected for come time that seg¬regation is indeed practiced, Iheactual admission by presidentGeorge Beadle and vice-presidentfor administration Ray Brownbring into clear view an extremelyunfortunate situation.The segregated buildings, ac¬cording to Beadle and Brown, >rethose which the University ownsonly on a temporary basis. Tt isheld to be “immoral” that the 'Ad¬versity make abrupt changes inthe existing policy of those budd¬ings which it buys, only to resellwithin a short period of tur.e.Immediate integration is held towork against the University’sstated policy of “stable integra¬tion” in the Hyde Park com¬munity.It is not necessary at this timeto enter a discussion ol the grossabsurdity of any kind of racialsegregation. The manifest evil of any kind of discrimination basedon color has been pointed oatlime and time again. Total inte¬gration is, as a matter of fact, -hestated policy of UC’s administra¬tion.But, when the abstract pr'n-ciple of racial equality is appliedto the practical situation in HydePark today, leading administra¬tors see problems developing. Tfmyclaim that immediate integrat'd!would cause many Hyde Parkresidents to leave the community,and they say that it would be un¬fair for the “rich and radical”University of Chicago to enforceits will on the local citizenry.There is no doubt that thereare great problems facing any at¬tempt at integration in the UnitedStates today. Bigotry, on whichall segregation is based, is noteasily overcome. We certainly 1onot underestimate 'he task facingUC administrators if they are tomake Hyde Park the kind of com¬munity which we all want it to bo. applied to segregation. There canbo no justification for an insti'u-tion of this kind condoning, eitheractively or tacitly, the practice ofdiscrimination any time, anywhere.This past day has been a day ofdisillusionment—a day on whichour confidence in a great univer¬sity has been shaken. But :t isnot too late for changes to bemade. We suggest that thesechanges bo made immediately, andthat the University of Chicago an¬nounce a permanent policy k; li¬ning segregation in any of itsholdings.

Not unpredictably, yougave the wrong answer. The truth may bo found byconsidering the nature of life ina fraternity house, which is verymuch influenced at this Univer¬sity by the attitudes of the ad¬ministration towards fraterni¬ties. Quite simply, the Univer¬sity has intelligently maintaineda "hands off" policy with respectto fraternity life.So far as possible, the Inter¬fraternity council makes the de¬cisions governing fraternity acti¬vities, and the I-F council ismerely an assembly of delegatesfrom each fraternity.

He accompaniedSobell on the trip, but he admit¬tedly never saw the contents ofthe film can, nor did he hear anyof the conversation betweenSobell and Rosenberg. (Whilethey talked he was waiting inSobell’s car). This was the onlyevidence linking Sobell to theatomic espionage conspiracy !Other witnesses testified thatSobell traveled to Mexico in 1950“in apparent attempts to arrangefor flight.” Sobell maintainedthat his trip to Mexico was toavoid being persecuted by McCar¬thy-type investigations; he hadbeen a member of the Communistparty.He was illegally abducted fromMexico by the FBI, as evidencedby the fact that the Mexicangovernment denies ever havingissued any deportation order.Sobell further maintains that hewas beaten and knocked uncon¬scious during the kidnapping. Anyillegal arrest of this sort wouldhold him outside the jurisdictionof the US courts.Clearly the Elitcher testimony,if it is to he believed, does not inany way show Sobell guilty of anyespionage, but rather demonstratesguilt by association. Nevertheless,the government insisted thatSobell be tried as a co-defendantwrith the Rosenbergs.The joint trialDuring the trial the govern¬ment presented evidence primarilyagainst the Rosenbergs. The Col¬umbia Law7 Review of February,1954 notes.“. . . . the life or freedom ofdefendant Morton Sobell was a1 soat stake, and though he was notshown to have been involved inatomic espionage, his case was un¬doubtedly caught up in the power¬ful surge of these revelations.But a joint trial was legally per¬missible, notwithstanding the over¬whelming probability that his de¬fense W7ould be prejudiced by trialas a co-conspirator with the atomspies.”Thus, Sobell, by being tried to¬gether with the Rosenbergs, be¬came involved in questions of committed; his conviction was, toa great extent, a result of theconviction of the Rosenbergs.Accomplice testimonyWe have shown that MaxElitcher’s testimony was the onlymatter of evidence which linkedSobell to the conspiracy. It isinteresting to note that in 21states in the US, evidence suppliedby an accomplice, which is notcorroborated by a non-accompliee,cannot even be legally considered.Thus, as the Columbia LawReview points out:“Surely, it is striking to notethat had the Rosenbergs (andSobell, as wed) been tried acrossthe street, in a New York statecourt where corroboration is re-qired, a conviction wmdd havebeen unlikely . . . .”Safeguards against accomplicetestimony in several states stemfrom the tendency of accomplicesto commit perjury. They do so inthe hope of diminishing theseverity of their ow7n sentences hybecoming witnesses friendly tothe prosecution.Max Elitcher was indicted rorneither conspiracy nor perjury;Ruth Greenglass w7as never in¬dicted; David Greenglass was sen¬tenced to 15 years’ imprisonment.He is now free on parole; Sobellis still in jail for having been in¬volved in the same conspiracy.ConclusionsWe think Morton Sobell shouldbe released from prison, or atleast granted a new trial for <hefollowing reasons:• His sentence is excessive inrelation to the sentences im¬posed on llio.se who testifiedagainst him.• He was sentenced on the basisof involvement in atomic espi¬onage, although there is noevidence that he ever commit! edsuch a crime.• All of the evidence against himis of the nature of accomplicetestimony.• He was illegally abducted fromMexico.• His joint trial with the Rosen¬bergs prejudiced the juryagainst him.SCANDINAVIAN IMPORTSHOME OF MULTIFORM — THE UNIQUE STORAGE UNITS1542 EAST 57th STREETOpen Daily 12 noon to 8 p.m.TRIANGLE PRODUCTIONSFrank Fried, PresidentPRESENTSSpring Folk Art SeriesFebruary 10th —GEULA GILLAND THE ORANIM ZABARSTUDEBAKER THEATRE, 8:30 — Tickets $4. $3.30. $2.50, $2March 3rd — OSCAR BRANDSTUDEBAKER THEATRE. 8:30 — Tickets SC. 53.30. $2.50. $2March 17th —JOAN BAEZAND THE GREENBRIAR BOYSORCHESTRA HALL. 8:30 — Tickets $4.30. $3.50. $2.75. $2April 14th —THEO.

It willthen move to the congress, held at the University of Wisconsinlast August, to show student lead¬ers in action.The show will concentrate onthe resolution calling for aboli¬tion of the House committee onun-American activities (HUAC),over which the liberals and con¬servatives of the cotigress had aheated debate.Charge UC segregation(Continued from page one)Beadle echoed this belief, stat¬ing that programs of education,for example, were necessary ifpermanent integration is to beattained.Summing up University policyon discrimination Browrn stated,“From the standpoint of what itbelieves—in trying to get a racial¬ly integrated community—I wouldlike to say that the Universityhas been actively engaged in avery difficult and very expensivedrive to abolish segregation.”At a meeting last night, SGjiassed a resolution condemningthe policy of segregation. Theresolution reads in part, "Thefifteenth assembly of StudentGovernment declares its oppositionto the stated policy of the Uni¬versity administration which con¬dones and supports racial segre¬gation in housing.“The University in pursuing itspolicy of discrimination is givingmoral and practical support toother realtors such as McKey andPoague who conspire to maintainsegregation in housing as a stand¬ing policy. The argument that theUniversity is just maintaining theunfortunate policies of past own¬ers appears to us to fall of itsown weight.“The argument that the adop¬tion by the University of ‘open occupancy’ in housing it ownswould unfairly impose the Uni¬versity’s standards u|*on the com¬munity does not seem reasonable.Residents of the community donot have the right to legislate in¬formally or otherwise a policy ofracial segregation in housing. TheUniversity has no responsibility toput itself in the position of giv¬ing practical backing to what itassumes to be the prejudices ofthe community. . . .The argument that the Univer¬sity must preserve the neighbor¬hood may be overcome by theobvious assertion that the Uni¬versity may adopt any reasonablecriteria which is applied equallyto all for accepting or rejectingprosi>ective tenants.”The bill mandates the presidentof the assembly to petition theUniversity for a public statementof intentions not to discriminate,directives ordering integration toall personnel, and implementationof the directive through establish¬ment of a student-faculty-admin-istration board to hear complaintsbased on segregation and to makebinding any decision it shouldmake.Today’s EventsWednesday, 17 JanuaryLecture: Basic genetics.
