(' Vol. 70 — N«. 77 University of Chicago, Tuesday, April 10, 1962 31Lipset opens programUrges equal educationT h e American educationsystem is devoted to equaliz¬ing: the opportunities for allchildren, rich or poor, saidSeymour M. Lipset; professor ofsociology from t he University ofCalifornia at Berkeley.Speaking on “Political educationand political democracy” yesterdayin Mandel hall, Lipset opened aseries of talks sponsored by theUniversity of Chicago Orientationboard in its “Aims of Education”series.“The educational system is de¬voted to “socializing the Barbar¬ian, or, “to bringing into middleclass culture ehildren of lowerclass origin; the opening of thedoor of opportunity to everyone,”lie said.American education is derivedfrom the egalitarian ideology, orthe “absence of deferential atti¬tudes and values in the system;the idea lhat all people would beequally valued.”“No other society has madesuch a commitment to the ideathat everyone shall partake of thegood things in life,” said Lipset.This emphasis on quality of edu¬cation is exported, he continued.He said that Puerto Rico has morestudents in high school than Cana¬da, and noted the wide diffusion ofeducation among the people in thePhilippines. Both Puerto Rico andthe Philippines have been Ameri¬can territories.Cites US valuesThese “anti-elitist” values dateto the American Revolution, Lipsetsaid. Many platforms of laborgroups in the 1820’s, he added,included free public education forall. As an example he cited theNew York Workingmen's partywhich advocated expropriatingchildren at the age of six toboat ding schools, no matter whattheir income.The essence of this system, hecontinued, is that it undercuts theadvantages of the children of thewealthy.Another later example was thefederal land grant provision of1862 providing for land grants tocolleges and universities. Lipsetquoted the purpose of the bill: toprovide “liberal and practical edu¬cation of the laboring classes.”Thus, he said, the state assumedthe obligation of providing themeans of sending working classchildren to school.These anti-elitist values stillplay an important role in Ameri¬can education. The systems ofEurope are designed to sustain in¬herited privilege, he said by way ofcomparison. It is from elitistsources that the criticism of Amer¬ican elementary and high schoolscome. the lower class children “thechance to catch up to the cul¬turally privileged. The brighterare deliberately held back so thatculturally depriv ed may catch up.”He cited a survey done of thegraduates of the Berkeley highschool. Of the Negroes whograduated — and many didn’t —60 per cent had gone to college;of the white graduates 55% hadgone to college. Most of theNegroes came from parents whohad had only a snail amounl ofeducation, according to Lipset."The children of parents withno more than second grade educa¬tion were going to school withchildren of Nobel prize winnersand by being integrated by class¬es as w'ell as by race, some ofthe values of respect for learninghad passed over to the Negroes.”Holding the bright child back,he said, gives the culturally de¬prived children a chance.Discusses EnglandThe British system makes noprovision for the fact that theBritish working class can’t teachtheir children some of the middleclass values such as respect forlearning. It is commendable, hesaid, that the American systemis willing to put the time andmoney of the more privileged intoletting the less privileged catchup.Lipset then said that in the University, the awarding of de¬grees in such fields as sanitaryengineering and poultry husban¬dry was a reflection of the egalit-tarian idea. There are tw'o out¬looks on this practice, said Lip¬set.The first is that it “pulls downinto the gutter the higher dis¬ciplines in education; this is theelitist outlook.” he explained.“The second is that it pulls up outof the gutter other classes andother occupational groups.”He said that although it appallsEuropeans that such people couldbe university graduates, the Eng¬lish journal the Economist hasasked Britain to start bringingengineering into the universitiessaying that American engineersare more lilerate than Englishengineers. Lipset pointed out thatthis is because the universitiesin America teach literature al¬though in small amounts to theengineers.“The incorporation of occupa¬tional disciplines into the univer¬sity furthers the democratic so¬ciety by relieving the strain ofinequalities,” remarked Lipset.A recent government reporthas shown that 2/3’s of the youngpeople in the country have theintelligence to benefit from a col¬lege education; until 2/3’s havethe opportunity, “we are operat¬ing an undemocratic system.” Seymour Lipset delivers the first in O-board's "Limitsof Liberal Education" lectures today, the series continueswith lectures by Paul Goodman and John Noonan and aseminar with Noonan, Goodman and UC faculty.SNCC secy on trialA field secretary of the Stu¬dent Nonviolent Coordinatingcommittee (SNCC) goes ontrial today in Baton Rouge,Louisiana on charges resultingfrom his attempt to speak atSouthern university there.The SNCC official, Dion Dia¬mond, was arrested on February1, just before he w'as to speak tostudents of Southern university inBaton Rouge. He was chargedwith disturbing the peace, unlaw¬ful assembly, trespassing, and va¬grancy.Baton Rouge officials also filedcharges of “criminal anarchy”against Diamond. The chargeswere later dropped. Criminal anar¬chy charges were also pressedagainst Charles McDew, SNCCchairman, and Robert Zellner,SNCC field secretary when theytried to visit Diamond in jail onFebruary 18. Conviction could re¬ sult in ten year prison sentences.Diamond’s bail was set at $13,-500 and later reduced to $4,200,bail for McDew and Zellner wasset at $7,000 each. When McDewand Zellner were arraigned onMarch 5, they were charged with“being members of the StudentNonviolent Coordinating com¬mittee, an organization known toteach, practice, and advocate theoverthrow of the government ofthe state of Louisiiana by unlaw¬ful means.”Diamond w7as in Baton Rouge toinvestigate the situation at South¬ern university. Southern wasclosed late last year after massdemonstrations were held protest¬ing the expulsion of several stu¬dents for participating in sit-indemonstrations.The school was reopened earlythis year, but leaders of the pro¬test were not allowed to reregister.UC CORE replies to housing report“I went to a high school in NewYork city designed for bright chil¬dren who were to go through thetour years of high school in three\ears. LaGuardia (Fiorello LaGuardia, then mayor of New York°ity) abolished it in 1942 on thegrounds that it was undemocraticand a privileged system,” Lipsetrecalled.He said that the school couldb" compared to the English gram¬mar school attended by childrenul wealthy families, and by thosewho wall go to college and oneday rule the country. Englandseparates those w'ho are goingto run the country and those ofthe working class.1 he European system is similar,he said, in that it is a segregated• orm oi education. The idea thatsegregation on the basis of abilityis like segregation by race is oftenlound in the US today, he con¬tinued.One characteristic of the Am-Ct*can school is that it allows The University of Chicagochapter of the Congress ofRacial Equality (CORE) lastnight issued its reply to theAcuity report prepared followinglast quarter’s sit-ins protesting theUniversity’s discriminatory hous¬ing policies.• CORE objected mainly to twoof the faculty report’s majorpoints.Contrary to the report’s asser¬tion, the University of Chicago hasnot “long followed an exemplarypolicy of nondiscrimination,”charged CORE.Also, CORE considers “managedintegration,” the report’s proposedsolution to housing problems inthis area, neither acceptable norrealistic.The 12,000 word housing reportstated support of UC’s policy ofstable integration, but called formore effective implementation ofthat policy.CORE offered documented ex-amples of past discrimination inBillings and Lying-in hospitals’patient admissions, the residencehails, IT’s one-time support ofRestrictive covenants to “destroyonce and for all the false imagewhich the University has attempt¬ed to create and which has, onceagain, been propagated in the fac¬ulty report.”“What must honestly be faced.”insists CORE, “is the fact that theUniversity’s past racial policieshave not been ‘exemplary” but, onthe contrary . . . insular and dis¬graceful . . . and . . . helped tocreate the problems which are fac¬ing the University today.“The University must honestlyacknowledge this fact before a realchange in its attiude toward theNegro community can be brougthabout . , .If. how’ever the only thing whichthe University changes is its rhe¬toric and it mainlains the sameoverall altitude as in the past,nothing constructive will evolvefrom any University policy.”CORE stressed that its beliefthat it will be impossible for UCto maintain itself in the kind ofneighborhood which it believes is necessary for an educational in¬stitution unless a policy of com¬plete open occupancy is adopted,and soon, by the city of Chicago.“We define oi>en occupancy andnon-discrimination laws to meanjust that, not ‘managed integra¬tion to the end that physicalblight and decay are not acceler¬ated and that additional all-Negroneighborhoods are not formedthereby.’ Our concern is not onlywith physical blight and decay,but with human degradation andthe decaying of lives.“The problems facing this citycan never be solved unless itsNegro citizens are treated as fullcitizens and enjoy the same rightswhich w'hites have.“ ‘Managed integration’ whichmeans that because of the ignor¬ance and intolerance of one colorof man another color of man hasgot to be managed, is no solutionto the problem. By open occup¬ancy we mean the right for anyindividual to live in any house,anywhere, that lie can pay for.”“We believe that complete openoccupancy is going to come toChicago and that it is best for thecity if it comes as soon as possible.What must be done now' is to pro¬vide the Negro citizen with theright to live in any house in Chi¬cago which he can afford. If thecity waits until the ghetto en¬larges itself, and becomes eveneven more crowded, as it must,unless new housing elsewhere isopened up. the problems ofcreating a stable, interracial citywill become ever more difficult astime goes on.“What the University mustunderstand is that “managed in¬tegration” the assumption thatpeople because of their color havegot to be “managed,” w'ill not beacceptable. The University must,as soon as possible, create apolicy in which all people, regard-ness of their color, are treated asequals.CORE concluded by urging theUniversity to adopt certain longrange measures to fulfil its role asan urban institution:“(1) In its attempt to create a stable, integrated community, theUniversity must put its emphasison keeping and attracting whitesin the neighborhood, rather thanexcluding Negroes thorough segre¬gation. In other words, we sug¬gest to the University that theonly way in which this neighbor¬hood will remain stably integra¬ted for any long period of timeis if the white people who live init understand, and accept the factthat there is a non discriminatoryhousing policy in existencethroughout Hyde Park.“Open occupancy is going tocome to the University of Chica¬go. Therefore, it is to the com¬munity’s best interest to maintainand attract those whites who w'illlive here on that basis. The pre¬sent policy of attracting whiteson the basis that the neighborhoodwill remain segregated is a policywhich cannot long endure. TheUniversity, therefore must publiclyadopt a policy of complete openoccupancy in its housing, and urgeother realtors in the area to dothe same.“(2) It must at the same time,through an educational campaign,explain to the community why itis not necessary to turn into anall-Negro area because Negroesare living in it without segrega¬tion restrictions. It must explainfor- example how the “open mar¬ket” w’orks in interacial areas;that being that both white andNegro real estate speculators at¬tempt to make whites sell throughmany unscrupulous ruses. The ex¬odus of whites in these cases re¬sults in huge profits for the specu¬lators. It must explain that over¬crowding in housing can be pre¬vented if the community activelydemands the enforcement of hous¬ing code regulations. The Universi¬ty should also alleviate the fearsof the community by showing how'intelligent law enforcement cansubstantially reduce the crimerate.Although the University has notused its vast faculty and studentresources in an educational cam¬paign to explain to the communi¬ty why certain problems occur,it has already taken action against many of these problems and. insome cases, met with considerablesuccess. The University should,along with the community, conti¬nue its efforts to reduce the crimerate in Hyde-Park Kenwood.Here, CORE cited Hyde-ParkKenwood reduced crime rate at atime when the Negro populationW'as increasing.“It should also be mentionedthat the area surrounding the Uni¬versity has had a crime problemfor the past 25 years and, as iswidely understood, will continue tohave this problem, as will everyother neighborhood in the cityuntil the real causes of crime inurban life are rooted out. Wewould suggest that one of theprime factors behind the growingcrime rate in Chicago and in othercities is racial discrimination.“(3) If for no other reason thanits own self interest, the Univer¬sity must use all the influencewhich it has on the political scenein Chicago to encourage the pas¬sing of laws which will w ipe outracial segregation wherever it ex¬ists in the city. It must press ashard as it can for an open oc¬cupancy bill and support thosecandidates who are in favor ofsuch legislation. It must also usewhatever moral or educationalforce it has to guarantee thatthese laws produce successful re¬sults.SG on WUCBWUCB, 640 kc., will broad¬cast a discussion among mem¬bers of various campus politi¬cal parties tonight at 9 pm.The discussion, which wrasrecorded on Sunday, includesrepresentatives of POLIT, theUniversity Party (UP), theDemocratic Organization toWithstand Nonsense (DOWN),Iron Guard (IG), and the As¬sociation of Non ToleratingIndependents (ANTI).Jay Greenberg, editor inchief of the Chicago Maroon,moderated the discussion.

When McDewand Zellner were arraigned onMarch 5, they were charged with“being members of the StudentNonviolent Coordinating com¬mittee, an organization known toteach, practice, and advocate theoverthrow of the government ofthe state of Louisiiana by unlaw¬ful means.”Diamond was in Baton Rouge toinvestigate the situation at South¬ern university. Southern wasclosed late last year after massdemonstrations were held protest¬ing the expulsion of several stu¬dents for participating in sit-indemonstrations.The school was reopened earlythis year, but leaders of the pro¬test were not allowed to reregister.to Housing reportThe University of Chicagochapter of the Congress ofRacial Equality (CORE) lastnight issued its reply to the!>culty report prepared followinglast quarter’s sit-ins protesting theUniversity’s discriminatory hous¬ing policies.• CORE objected mainly to twoof the faculty report’s majorpoints.Contrary to the report’s asser¬tion, the University of Chicago hasnot “long followed an exemplarypolicy of nondiscrimination,”charged CORE.Also, CORE considers “managedintegration,” the report’s proposedsolution to housing problems inthis area, neither acceptable norrealistic.The 12,000 word housing reportstated support of UC's policy ofstable integration, but called formore effective implementation ofthat policy.CORE offered documented ex¬amples of past discrimination inBillings and Lying-in hospitals’patient admissions, the residencehalls, UC’s one-time support ofRestrictive covenants to “destroyonce and for alt the false imagewhich the University has attempt¬ed to create and which has, onceagain, been propagated in the fac¬ulty report.”“What must honestly be faced,”insists CORE, “is the fact that theUniversity’s past racial policieshave not been ‘exemplary" but, onthe contrary . . . insular and dis¬graceful . . . and . . . helped tocreate the problems which are fac¬ing the University today.“The University must honestlyacknowledge this fact before a realchange in its attiude toward theNegro community can be brougthabout . » .If, however the only thing whichthe University changes is its rhe¬toric and it maintains the sameoverall attitude as in the past,nothing constructive will evolvefrom any University policy.”CORE stressed that its beliefthat it will be impossible for UCto maintain itself in the kind ofneighborhood which it believes is necessary for an educational in¬stitution unless a policy of com¬plete open occupaflcy is adopted,and soon, by the city of Chicago.“We define open occupancy andnon-discrimination laws to meanjust that, not ‘managed integra¬tion to the end that physicalblight and decay are not acceler¬ated and that additional all-Negroneighborhoods are not formedthereby.’ Our concern is not onlywith physical blight and decay,but with human degradation andthe decaying oi lives.“The problems facing this citycan never be solved unless itsNegro citizens are treated as fullcitizens and enjoy the same rightswhich whites have.“ ‘Managed integration* whichmeans that because of the ignor-anee and intolerance of one colorof man another color of man liasgot to be managed, is no solutionto the problem. By open occup¬ancy we mean the right for anyindividual to live in any house,anywhere, that he can pay for.”“We believe that complete openoccupancy is going to come toChicago and that it is best for thecity if it comes as soon as possible.What must be done now' is to pro¬vide the Negro citizen with theright to live in any house in Chi¬cago which he can afford. If thecity waits until the ghetto en¬larges itself, and becomes eveneven more crowded, as it must,unless new' housing elsewhere isopened up, the problems ofcreating a stable, interracial citywill become ever more difficult astime goes on.“What the University mustunderstand is that “managed in¬tegration” the assumption thatpeople because of their color havegot to be “managed,” will not beacceptable. The University must,as soon as possible, create apolicy in which, all people, regard-ness of their color, are treated asequals,CORF, concluded by urging theUniversity to adopt certain longrange measures to fulfil its role asan urban institution:“(1) In its attempt to create a stable, integrated community, theUniversity must put its emphasison keeping and attracting whitesin the neighborhood, rather thanexcluding Negroes thorough segre¬gation. In other words, we sug¬gest to the University that theonly way in which this neighbor¬hood will remain stably integra¬ted for any long period of timeis if the white people who live init understand, and accept the factthat there is a non discriminatoryhousing policy in existencethroughout Hyde Park,“Open occupancy is going tocome to the University of Chica¬go. Therefore, it is to the com¬munity’s best interest to maintainand attract those whites who walllive here on that basis. The pre¬sent policy of attracting whiteson the basis that the neighborhoodwill remain segregated is a policywhich cannot long endure. TheUniversity, therefore must publiclyadopt a policy of complete openoccupancy in its housing, and urgeother realtors in the area to dothe same.“(2) It must at the same time,through an educational campaign,explain to the community why itis not necessary to turn into anall-Negro area because Negroesare living in it without segrega¬tion restrictions. It must explainfor example how the “open mar¬ket” works in interacial areas;that being that both white andNegro real estate speculators at¬tempt to make w hites sell throughmany unscrupulous ruses. The ex¬odus of whites in these cases re¬sults in huge profits for the specu¬lators. It must explain that oxer-crowding in housing can be pie-vented if the community activelydemands the enforcement of hous¬ing code regulations. The Universi¬ty should also alleviate the fearsof the community by showing how'intelligent law enforcement cansubstantially reduce the crimerate.Although the University has notused its vast faculty and studentresources in an educational cam¬paign to explain to the communi¬ty why certain problems occur,it has already taken action against many of these problems and, insome cases, met with considerablesuccess. The University should,along with the community, conti¬nue its efforts to reduce the crimerate in Hyde-Park Kenwood.Here, CORE cited Hyde-ParkKenwood reduced crime rate at atime when the Negro populationw'as increasing.“It should also be mentionedthat the area surrounding the Uni¬versity has had a crime problemfor the past 25 yeai's and, as iswidely understood, will continue tohave this problem, as will everyother neighborhood in the cityuntil the real causes of crime inurban life are rooted out. Wewould suggest that one of theprime factors behind the growingcrime rate in Chicago and in othercities is racial discrimination.“(3) If for no other reason thanits own self interest, the Univer¬sity must use all the influencewhich it has on the political scenein Chicago to encourage the pas¬sing of laws which will wipe outracial segregation wherever it ex¬ists in the city. It must press ashard as it can for an open oc¬cupancy bill and support thosecandidates who are in favor ofsuch legislation. It must also usewhatever moral or educationalforce it has to guarantee thatthese law's produce successful re¬sults.SG on WUCBWUCB, 640 kc., will broad¬cast a discussion among mem¬bers of various campus politi¬cal parties tonight at 9 pm.The discussion, which w'asrecorded on Sunday, includesrepresentatives ol POUT, theUniversity Party (UP), theDemocratic Organization toWithstand Nonsense (DOWN),Iron Guard (IG), and the As¬sociation of Non ToleratingIndependents (ANTI).Jay Greenberg, editor inchief of the Chicago Maroon,moderated the discussion.Editorial vStudent Government worthy of support0 Do U.S. moviesweaken our imageabroad? © What’s the smartway for a cigaretteto dress?One of the most importantissues facing voters in this year’sStudent Government elections, tobegin tomorrow, is the veiy exist¬ence of SG itself.This is neither the first timenor the first campus on which thevalidity of a body to represent theUniversity student is challenged.This year two parties, with thenot unpredictable names of ANTIand DOWN, are running candi¬dates supporting SG’s abolitionand a constitutional amendment ison the ballot discussing the sameissue.To read their literature and tolisten to them speak one mightassume that the parties support¬ing SG’s demise are not veryserious, and indeed one might becorrect. Far from being micro-cosmic incarnations of the seriousanarchists of the early twentiethcentury, these individuals seem tobe people with nothing better todo than to go about destroyingwhat they consider an unimpor¬tant organization.Unfortunately, the individuals involved do not quite understandjust what they are doing. Thepossibility of being unduly destruc¬tive in their game just has notoccurred to them.Student Government has existedon this campus for some fifteenyears. In this time it has initiatedand continued to provide many ofthe valuable services which aretaken completely for granted to¬day. The Student Service center,the student book cooperative, dis¬count travel, both domestic andinternational, no-interest studentloans, ticket agency for downtownshows and concerts, the studentdirectory, later turned over to theadministration, office facilities forsmall student organizations, re¬questing stores to give student dis¬counts (an unadvertised, but valu¬able service), comprise but an in¬complete list of the activities ofSG.Now representatives of ANTIand DOWN say that this couldhave been done with or withoutStudent Government, that indeeda non-Government agency could have done the job better. Thisoverlooks an important and ob¬vious historical fact. It was Stu¬dent Government which did thesethings, it is Student Governmentwhich is continuing them. Theservices have saved studentsmoney and time, without SG theirpossibility is but a moot question.Perhaps even more importantthan the services which SG hasprovided is its importance asa body for representing theopinion of UC students. Throughstudent consultant boards, throughmeetings of the SG assembly, andthrough personal contact betweenadministrators and SG leadersmuch has been done.Now the "anarchists” argue thatSG has never been and can neverbe truly representative of studentopinion. This argument is, to us,totally beyond comprehension. SGrepresentatives are electedthrough, in the words of one ofUC’s more flippant and less im¬portant pro-SG parties, "universalstudent suffrage.” Nothing couldbe more fair. If UC students do not take the half hour requiredfor intelligent voting it is theirown fault and for it they mustsuffer. But the laziness and stu¬pidity of this group of UC stu¬dents (several of whom have nowfound their wray on to either theDOWN or ANTI slates) is noreason for abolishing the institu¬tion. This misguided logic couldlead to the demise of every repre¬sentative government in theworld.Another favorite argument ofthe anti-SG faction is based onthe admittedly numerous failuresof the Government. It is true thatSG did not, despite its efforts,secure reversal of UC's residencepolicy, it has not been able to in¬sure that the student viewpointwill be accepted, or even takenseriously by the occupants of theAdministration building. This argu¬ment fails no less miserably thanthe others.We could point out the successesof SG. Students now sit in an dis¬ciplinary committee hearings be¬cause of its efforts. The Student-Faculty-Administration court, com¬posed primarily of students, isinstrumental in evaluating, and even at times changing administra¬tive policies relating to students.But more important than this pointby point matching of the ANTI¬DOWN list is the discussion of amore general point: students havebeen and are listened to becauseof the activity of SG.This consideration of the stu¬dent point of view, while not yetall that we might wish it to be,is important. Nor is the argumentthat it could be handled withequal effect by special interestgroups valid. Special interestgroups by their very nature do notpresent the same broad represen¬tation as does an all-campusGovernment; they cannot speakwith the same voice. If SG is notconsidered will several smallergroups make a greater impression?In brief, the charges of UC’santi-SG parties are both unin¬formed and irresponsible. We urgethe sound defeat of the constitu¬tional amendment abolishing SGand the opposition to the twoanarchist parties.foreign car hospital5« page 4 UT needs menAuditions for the Universitytheatre production of "CaineMutiny Court Martial” will beheld in room 304 of the Rey¬nolds club, Thursday and Fri¬day from 8:30 am through 4:30pm.

IIT campus. “The general level of ever had.”UT's Murder' is called dull'T. S. Eliot’s verse drama“Murder in the Cathedral”was pulled out of mothballsby our own University thea¬tre last weekend; the over¬whelming impression of thisreviewer is that the “play” cannow be replaced on the libraryshelf and left there to piouslygather dust. University theatre’sproduction was certainly not abad one; however, I fear thatnothing can be done to overcomethe consummate dullness of thisthing that I would refer to as aLetterPOLIT hits NSA criticsTo the editor:'The University party (UP) has,in the Maroon and on the bulletinboards, made various statementsconcerning the National Student.issoeiation (NSA) and the role aPOLIT delegation would play atthe next NSA congress. ThePOLIT NSA delegation candidateswish to express their views on therole of NSA and clear up a fewmisconceptions which may havebeen created by UP.NSA is the national union ofstudents of the United States. Itis the only body politic throughwhich students in this country canexpress themselves as a unit. Theorganization was created in 1948with the purpose of, as stated inits constitution, to deal with thoseproblems which “affect studentsin their role as students.” SinceNSA functions as a parliamentarybody, the majority interpretingthe constitution at each Congress.UP’s statements concerning “viola¬tion of NSA’s constitution” areirrelevant.However, let us make clear justbow the majority- the majority ofwhich the UC delegation has beena part — has interpreted thissort ion of the constitution. Thisinterpretation can best be summedno in the POLIT slogan “A FreeUniversity in a Free Society.” Themeaning is quite simple: the stu¬dent exists as a member of “thefotal community” in which he re¬sides the campus, the city, thenation. No fine line can be drawnfo separate any individual from* he problems of sociely as aw hole.As to UP’s accusation thatl’OLIT encourages NSA participa¬tion in partisan politics, again,'hey misunderstand the NSA con¬stitution. The term “partisan poli¬tics” as used by NSA refers toparticipation in activities of a poli¬tical party, i.e. Democratic, Re¬publican, etc. As UP uses theterm it refers to all controversialissues. Such an interpretationwould prohibit NSA action onacademic freedom, federal aid toeducation, as well as support of the “sit-ins” and opposition toHUAC.It seems necessary, due to theinaccurate statements of UP, toclear up the questions concerningthe problems of disaffiliatingschools. Quite simply, NSA nowhas more member schools than itdid last year at this time. True,some major schools have left theorganization; however, others havejoined- notably Rice and majorportions of Michigan State. Inour own region, Northwestern re¬cently took up the question of dis¬affiliation and their student Senateoverwhelmingly voted to stay in.At Illinois, there has long been aconservative group seeking to dis¬affiliate their school. It seems theywould rather get out than fadethe issues in honest debate. How¬ever, this conservative group atIllinois has long been the minority.Finally let us clear up the roleof the Chicago delegation. It isIrue—quite to the credit of theUniversity, we think—that UCdelegations in the past have takena leading role in passing legisla¬tion at NSA congresses dealingwith such issues as the abolitionof HUAC and support for civilright. Those past delegations haveacted on the belief that such issuesseriously effect the student in hisrole as a member of the socialcommunity, and therefore his roleas a student and a human being.However, the role of UC delega¬tions has not been one sided inNSA. As evidence to the role ofChicago NSA on service issues,let us quote from a recent letterby Paul Potter, NSA vice presi¬dent, to member schools: “I shouldlike to call your attention to a unique new service . the Inter¬national Student Cooperative union. . . The ISCU was organized in¬dependently of USNSA by a groupof University of Chicago studentswho acquired experience with theUniversity of Chicago studentbookstore.” Potter went on to en¬courage participation in ISCU andconcludes that he is “convinced. . . that the ISCU is a definitebenefit to students.” This is butone example of the role played byPOLIT in advancing the servicesof NSA.As to UP’s remarks concerningPOLIT’s attitude toward Cuba, letit suffice that their statement isa major distortion of the truthand but a crude attempt to “red¬bait” the POLIT delegation.POLIT in NSA or SG has neverpraised Castro or the revolution¬ary government.Our platform makes quite clearwhat political and non-politicalstands we will take in our relationwith NSA. If elected we will feelthat the student body has em¬powered us to act as we so ex-plicity say we will. We ask youto consider our platform. We askfor your vote.The POLIT NSA candidatesFor delegate:Leonard FriedmanRick ChesneyCaryle GeierArthur MacEwanMurray SchacherFor alternate:Bruce RappoportTerri RayJane SaxeMike WollanRobert Workoff play in quotation marks only.The program notes inform usthat “Murder” is a ritual drama.Let us rather say that it is muchritual and little drama. The con¬flict of temporal versus churchlypower that lies at the core of thework is basically abstract andnon-human; Thomas Becket’s re¬jection of the earthly temptersmight leave room for human feel¬ing, but this rejection also becomesabstract and allegorical. As a re¬sult only ten minutes of this “play”are worth sitting and watching -the rationalization of the fourknights after killing saintly Tho¬mas.It would appear that our Tho¬mas (the poet, not the martyr),feeling the new found spirit ofAnglo-Catholicism moving in hisheart, and having the Canter¬bury anniversary as an excuse,still should have stayed away fromtrying to pass hi* poetry off asdrama.There is no point in trying toevaluate the poetry of the piece;this bit of ink-spilling is betterleft to scholars who can sit athome with the text in hand. Asdrama the piece is a dud; a figurewho we know is going to bebumped off is eventually dis¬patched. Despite the shrieks ofthe ladies of Canterbury, nobodygives a damn. And that’s all thereis in “Murder in the Cathedral.”Robert Benedetti is to be con¬gratulated on his attempts to en¬ liven Papa Eliot’s gutless piece.The choice of Bond chapel wasfortunate one could, at least, lookat the beautiful stained glass win¬dows and ceiling carvings whilethe players were spouting on stage.Benedetti also is to be thankedfor cutting the play down to anhour and a half. I cannot imaginehow slow the business would havebeen if every word of the textwere considered sacred. His feelingthat organ music would help to al¬leviate the tedium was well-found¬ed, however, there should havebeen more of it - perhaps under¬scoring the speeches. Benedetti’suse of lights was, of course, lim¬ited by the fact that ihe playwas done in a chapel. Only oncedid he use a colored effect (redat Thomas’ death), and it was soinconsistant with the rest of thelighting that it seemed a trifleforced.There is little that can be saidof the actors, primarily becausethey had little acting to do. ValBettin (the “guest star”), as Tho¬mas, displayed a sonorous voiceand dignified manner; one can¬not criticize his lack of depth orfeeling because this is the faultof the poetwright. The four temp¬ters and knights were adequateand read their speeches intelligent¬ly; Arthur Geffen and GeorgeHouse also deserve applause formaking the knights’ rationaliza¬tions both human and comic.Joe CulbergDR.
