Recall vote and Stagg poll begin todayStudents in the College willvote today, tomorrow, andFriday on whether to recalltheir thirteen Student Gov¬ernment representatives who sup-|K>rted a resolution condemningthe Cuba blockade last October.At the same time, they will bepolled on the Stagg scholarshipsand related aspects of the univer¬sity's financial aid policies.Ballot boxes will be located inSocial Sciences, Mandel corridor,and Cobb Hall from 9 a.m. to1:20 pm. They will be in Burton-Jutlson, Pierce Tower, and NewDorm from 4:30 to 6:30 today andtomorrow.Both the SG Cuba resolution andthe University’s new Stagg Schol¬arship for “men of high academicpromise who are outstandingathletes” have been the center ofmuch heated controversity.The resolution passed by stu¬dent government on October 25."deplored” the naval blockadeimposed by President Kennedy onCuba when it was announced thatRussia was sending missiles toCuba.Two days before the assemblyacted on the resolution, the Stu¬dent Government executive com¬mittee had sent a telegram toPresident Kennedy urging him tohalt the blockade. After the tele¬gram was sent, two student groupsc irculated petitions stating that theExecutive committee’s telegramwas not indicative of student opin¬ion on the campus, and expressingsupport for President Kennedy onthe blockade issue.A petition was circulated at thesame time asking for a referen¬dum on the Cuba issue. This peti¬tion, with more than 1000 signa¬tures, was presented to the SGassembly at the start of the meet¬ing during which the Cuba resolu¬tion was passed.The resolution was passed by avote of 16-9 after several hours ofdebate. The referendum on the Cubacrisis was held shortly thereafter.In the poll, nearly four-fifths of thestudents voting endorsed the block¬ade of Cuba.On November 20, a petition wassubmitted to Student Governmentasking that the 13 SG representa¬tives from the College who hadvoted for the Cuba resolution berecalled. The petition called theSG act “irresponsible” and statedthat the representatives voted forthe resolution “despite their knowl¬edge of a substantial opposition inthe student body to the views ex¬pressed in the first telegram.”The student government assem¬bly voted to hold the recall, andsot the date as the s>tart of theWinter quarter. It would be hardto hold the recall vote during theAutumn quarter because it was toonear exams to be able to set thingsup, said SG representatives at thetime.POLIT adopts newpolicy statementEarly this quarter, POLITadopted a statement that “APOLIT majority in student gov¬ernment will not take stands onfuture issues of such a controver¬sial-political nature as the Cubancrisis of October 1962, unless it ispossible beforehand to ascertainwhat student opinion on the issueis.”The statement continued thatPOLIT will still “run on platformswhich commit itself to action onproblems of segregation, of viola¬tions of academic freedom, and ofoppression of the rights of studentsabroad ...”University initiatesStagg ScholarshipsTowards the end of Autumnquarter, the University announceda dinner to explain new scholarshipawards “to two scholar athletes.”Student Government announcedthat it would picket the dinnergiven for high school principlesand coaches, at which the applica¬ tion procedures were formally an¬nounced.The SG demonstration was calledoff when Dean of Students WarnerWick, Student Government Presi¬dent Arthur MacEwan and SGVice-President Michael W o 11 a nagreed to submit the concept of ascholarship for “scholar-athlete” toa campus-wide referendum. At the time, Wick stated thatUniversity policy “could be signi¬ficantly influenced by an obviouslystrong opposition to the scholar¬ships.”The question agreed upon lastweek by SG representatives andWick asked for opinions on Uni¬versity policy on provisions of theStagg scholarships and on otherrestricted scholarship funds. The Stagg Scholarships weremade possble by funds fromalumni who wanted to hon< - Amo*Alonzo Stagg, longtime UC footballcoach. The scholarships provide aminimum of full tuition for“scholar - athletes.” The scholar¬ships will provide more than fulltuition if the applicant needs it.The scholarships will be given toentering students.Vol. 71 — No. 54 University of Chicago, Wednesday, January 23, 1963Poll extended to grad studentsGraduate students will beallowed to vote on the Stagg:Scholarship opinion poll thisweek, Student Governmentdecided at its meeting last night.Motions were also passed protest¬ing the closing of Hutchison Com¬mons, the changing of the foodsystem of Pierce cafeteria, and theconviction and punishment givenClyde Kennard.Jay Flocks was elected chairmanof the election and rules commit¬tee.The ballots on the Stagg Scholar¬ships will be marked and countedseparately for graduate and under¬graduate students. In order tohandle the graduate students, therewill be an additional polling placein the Law Building. The motion on Hutchinson Com¬mons stated that its closing showsa lack of concern for the studentsand faculty. It mandated the presi¬dent of SG and the chairman ofthe campus action committee tocirculate a petition against theclosing, and to present it to RayBrown, vice-president for adminis¬tration.The motion on the Pierce cafe¬teria stated that Pierce residentsshould be allowed to decide whatkind of food system is to be usedthere. It also stated that sinceUC advertised Pierce as havingthree cafeteria meals a day, itis committed to provide them untilthe end of this year. The motionmandated the president of SG tonegotiate with Residence Housingand Commons over these points.Eskridge-Despres race takes new turnby John T. Williamsand Lucy RealsAlderman Kenneth Campbell (20th ward) announcedyesterday that he was ‘‘invad¬ing the fifth ward” by activelysupporting Chauncey Eskridge foralderman. The announcement wasmade at a press conference spon¬sored by Eskridge.Eskridge claims some Democrat¬ic party support in his bid to un¬seat independent alderman LeonM. Despres. Despres, on the otherhand, has received the endorse¬ment of Marshall Korshak. Demo¬cratic committeeman of the fifthward. Campbell is seeking reelec¬tion, but is not opposed. He isgenerally considered the man mostlikely to succeed CongressmanWilliam L. Dawson as boss of theSouth Side Negro machine.Campbell said, “I’m going to in¬vade the fifth ward at the requestof my friend Chauncey Eskridgeand at the behest of 50 precinctworkers of the fifth ward. Thisis a revolt at the grass roots.”“Despres has never attempted tocooperate with anybody in the citycouncil. Since Korshak had meuse my people in 1959 againstDespres, I see no reason why Ishould not oppose Despres thistime,” he continued.Campbell pledged the full sup¬port of his ward organization toEskridge’s campaign. “I'll dowhatever is necessary and honor¬able to do,” he said. “If Dawsonor Mayor Daley raise any ob¬jections to what I’m doing, that'stoo bad.”When Eskridge was asked bya Maroon reporter If he woulddebate his opponent, Campbell re¬plied “I will not permit my can¬didate to debate.”Campbell questioned whetherKorshak could still be considered“a good Democrat” since he failedto support a Regular Democrat•or alderman. “I have the clearestrecord of being a broad liberalDemocrat,” he continued.In an apparent reference to thosefifth ward precincts which are lo¬cated in Woodlawn, Campbell as¬serted that 20 out of 31 precinctcaptains favor Eskridge.In another surprise development yesterday, Despres was endorsed byBenjamin Adainowski, republicancandidate for Mayor. Despres haspreviously endorsed Mayor Daley,the Democratic incumbent seekingreelection. Campbell said that “theMayor is more embarrassed byDespres’ backing than Despres isby Adamowski’s.” Campbell feltthat it was “not logical” to assumethat Korshak has the backing ofDaley.Despres emphatically deniedCampbell’s charge that he did notcooperate with other members ofthe City Council. “On the contrary,”he said, “I have gone out of myway to invite cooperation. I havenever had anything faintly like afight with another alderman. Thisstatement of Campbell’s is just astrue as his last statement that hewas ‘not directly involved’ in thiscontest.”Despres made the following com¬ments on Adamowski’s endorse¬ment:“This endorsement of me israther an unusual and unexpectedoccurrence, inasmuch as I have al¬ready received the endorsementof the Regular Democratic Organi¬zation in my ward and have al¬ready the declared support ofMayor Daley for my reelection.“The Mayor’s general procedureis not to take part personally inthe aldermanic elections, but theendorsement is made by the Regu¬lar Democratic Organization in theward, whose endorsement I havereceived.”“Apparently Ben Adamowski’sprocedure is to make endorsementspersonally.”“By law, the aldermanic electionis non-partisan. There is no partylabel on the ballot and each candi¬date runs on his name and hisrecord with the suport of the peopleof the ward and their organizations.It is my aim for the future andmy record in the past always tobe a responsible and responsivealderman for all the people of theward. I especially welcome thesuport of everone in the fifth ward.I think that the endorsements Ihave received from the RegularDemocratic Organization and todayfrom the Mayor’s opponent whois the candidate of the other politi¬cal party, constitute a remarkable, if unexpected, breadth of support,”the statement concluded.Despres added that he also re¬ceived the endorsement of the Illi¬nois Good Government Instituteyesterday.Korshak said “I accused Camp¬bell of organizing in the ward. Hedenied it and said 4 days ago thatif he hadn’t known me so long hewould call me a liar. I guess I’m nolonger a liar.“I am as shocked as anybody byAdamowski’s endorsement, but thisis Adamowski. He does the unex¬pected and confuses issues.”Yesterday’s events reflect agreat difference of opinion betweensome of the most powerful mem¬bers of the Democratic party. Kor¬shak and Despres are opposingEskridge and Campbell. Eskridgeis probably backed also by Aider-man Thomas Keane, chairman ofthe City Council Finance commit¬tee and the second most influentialman in city politics.“Korshak is one of the mostpowerful members of the party,”according to a prominent memberof the local chapter of the Inde¬pendent Voters of Illinois and vet¬eran political observer. He con¬tinued :“One of the great paradoxes ofKorshak’s career is that he wasoriginally opposed by the IVI but isnow supported by the group.“In the early 1950’s, Korshak wasopposed by the IVI. The reason forthe opposition was that Korshak’sbrother was the biggest syndicatelawyer in town." As a result of IVIopposition, Korshak had such a vot¬ing record in the state senate thatthe IVI had to give him a ‘BestLegislator’ award. If the IVI hadnot opposed him, he would neverhave turned in such a good record.”“Korshak ran for Trustee of theSanitary District as a convenienceto the Democratic machine.” Theyhad to keep the Sanitary Districtfrom exploding like the police scan¬dal of a few years ago.“Korshak apparently decided notto buck Despres. This is his per¬sonal inclination, but it was decidedfor organizational reasons.“Despres will win easily in theprimary. Korshak cannot stand any kind of revolt. He has to smash itif he is to maintain his position asboss of the fifth ward.”“Keane is very much like Daleyin terms of shrewdness, politicalinsight. Daley’s machine operationshave been tempered by a kind of‘Chicago patriotism’ that leads himto consistently put the interests ofthe city before those of the party.Kean is apparently not inhibited byany such considerations. Otherwise,they are exceedingly alike. Kor¬shak, another shrewd politician, ismost like Daley in that he consid¬ers the long-range interests of thecity at large.“The overwhelming majority ofthe Democratic ward committee¬men felt that Korshak was wrongin supporting Despres. Daley pre¬vented them from exercising theirright to overrule an individual com¬mitteeman’s choice of the alder¬manic candidate to receive Demo¬cratic party support.“The policy of the Mayor has beento let each ward committeeman se¬lect the aldermanic candidate. TheMayor is generally against revolt.“Adamowski has everything togain and nothing to lose by hisendorsement. Either he endorsedDespres or nobody in the ward. Asfor Despres, no endorsement everhurts at the polls.”“This challenge by Eskridge andCampbell of Korshak and Despresrepresents the worst part of theDemocratic Organization challeng¬ing the best part. It is not so mucha challenge of Despres as of Kor¬shak. There is a bitter fight aheadespecially for Korshak, but Despreswill be elected,” he concluded.Morris Janowitz, Professor of So¬ciology and a member of the Com¬mittee to Re-Elect Aid. Despres,said “Adamowski is trying to re¬habilitate his public image. The en¬dorsement will not help either ofthem.“The Eskridge campaign will notproduce a formidable oppositionand Despres will win overwhelm¬ingly. Outside support will workagainst Eskridge because of theChicago tradition of keeping poli¬tics within the ward. There will besome block voting but the com¬munity will chose its leader outsideof racial issues.” The motion on Clyde Kennard,a Mississippi negro convicted ofstealing $25 worth of chicken feedand sentenced to seven years inprison, stated that his convictionwas in violation of his rights. Themotion also mentioned that his ar¬rest was shortly after his applyingto Mississippi Southern University.Copies of the resolution will besent to President Kennedy, At¬torney General Kennedy, and Ken¬nard.Munro analyzesproblems of UN‘‘The United Nations todayis a reflection of a dividedworld and, I think, a muddledworld in a new ferment of in¬ternational politics,” said SirLeslie K. Munro last nigh., in thefirst of three lectures at the LawSchool.Munro was President of the 12thGeneral Assembly of the UnitedNations.Munro said that although the divi¬sion of the cold war continues inthe United Nations, the many newmember nations with small popu¬lations and enormous hurdles haveseriously altered the character ofthe general assembly, and havegreatly affected the voting of thegreatly affected the voting powerof the great Western nations andtheir associates.These non committed states havelittle interest in the East-Weststruggle. They lisregard the possi¬bility that this struggle mightdetermine their own fate, Munroasserted. They simply look for aidwhere they can get it.The United States, United King¬dom, and France cannot rely onany help from the African statesto remedy injustices in EasternEurope and elsewhere. Munroillustrated of this with the UnitedStates’ acting alone in Cuba. Hedoubts that the action would havemet with sufficient approval underthe “uniting for peace” procedure.The divided interests of the greatpowers and the indifference o' thenew nations makes it too difficultto obtain the needed majority.Munro named three obstaclesthat the Wes ten. powers must facein their policy making. First,proposals may meet a veto in theSecurity Council. Second, they maynot secure the necessary two-thirdsvote needed for the “uniting forpeace” procedure. Third, if en¬forcement is carried out, theWestern powers must carry theburden of the cost.Muro concluded that, “Too muchshould not be expected of theUnited Nations, nor indeed to little.With all its faults it is the indis-pensible meeting place wheremany crises can be avoided afterdebate.”Poll watchers are need¬ed for the referendum. Per¬sons able to poll watchshould report to one of thepolling places or call ex¬tension 3273.EDITORIAL ■mmmhhhhmhhMhBHBBHHRecall is not constructiveThe threat of recall has donemore to solve the problems thatthe recall itself ostensibly dealswith than the ouster of the 13naughty SG representatives couldpossibly accomplish.In general, these representativeshave now committed themselves tonear silence on issues which couldarouse campus hostility as Cubadid. The POLIT statement, whichshould soothe critics of the Cubanresolution, could portend the elimi¬nation of disparity between SGstands and student opinion.What remains to be tested in therecall are the basic commitmentsof UC’s liberal party POLIT andthe general operations of SG. If thestudents in the College reject the notion that they are citizens of agreater society than this Univer¬sity community, they should recalltheir representatives. Unfortunate¬ly, they will at the same time berejecting the service, educational,and representative functions oftheir student government.We urge students to consider theconsequences of recall very care¬fully. The 13 people up for recallhave been responsible for most ofthe projects undertaken by SG thisyear. We have yet to see 13 otherswho have demonstrated the abilityto replace them.The recall cannot be justified ifits major result will be the destruc¬tion rather than reconstruction ofStudent Government.Vote to modify StaggsIn setting up the Stagg scholar¬ships, the University quite publiclylowered itself. It has once moredisregarded its primary purpose,intellectual development, in favorof the encouragement of a peri¬pheral and irrelevant educationalconcern, athletic prowess.But, since the Stagg scholarshipmoney will obviously not be re¬turned to our well-meaning alumni,no matter what the referendumIndicates about campus opinion, wewould like to urge student unan¬imity on two reforms of the exist¬ing scholarships.First, the amount of the scholar¬ship awarded should be made de¬pendent upon the recipient’s need.There is no justification for a full-tuition grant as a minimum award.Second, the scholarship shouldno longer be used as a recruitingdevice. If U is to exist at all, itshould be awarded only to menwho have been accepted to the University on the basis of theirintellectual prowess and have vol¬untarily chosen to demonstratetheir athletic prowess by partici¬pation in UC’s informal athleticprogram.We hope that a strong vote infavor of these two provisions willencourage the changes in the schol¬arships’ administration and, evenmore important, discourage futureundertakings of a similar nature.Chicago MaroonEditor-in-chief Laura Codofsk,Business Manager Kenneth C.

Mary Cottschalk Attend SACB hearingsTO THE EDITOR:This morning at 10 AM, the Sub¬versive Activities Control Board(SACB) will begin open hearingsat the U. S. Customs building, 610S. Canal St., Room 104, in orderto determine if Claude M. Lightfootand Samuel K. Davis are membersof the Communist Party. Uponmaking this determination, theBoard will then order Lightfootand Davis to register as membersof a “Communist Action Organi¬zation’’ under the McCarran Act.A “Communist Action Organiza¬tion” is defined by the McCarranAct to be one which engages inespionage, sabotage, sedition, andviolent overthrow of the govern¬ment in the interests of a foreignpower. However, neither the Com¬munist Party nor any of the otherorganizations so far ordered toregister under the Aot nor any oftheir members, have ever beenconvicted in a court of law of anyof these crimes. (Interestingly, thecriteria the SACB uses for “find¬ing” a group to be a “CommunistAction Organization” demand noevidence of espionage, sabotage,sedition, or violent overthrow ofthe government, but make suffi¬cient the presentation of evidencethat the group’s position on issuessignificantly coincides with theposition of that of a foreign poweror the Communist Party).Obviously, no self - respectingAmerican could justify registeringunder this law, such a registrationbeing equal to confessing to all ofthe above mentioned crimes. Inspite of this, the penalty for refus¬ing to register is $5,000 and 10years in prison for every day therefusal continues.The Supreme Court of the United States has evaded a decision onthe constitutionality of the Act forthe last 12 years, and has so faronly upheld the registration provi¬sion in a 5 to 4 decision (June,1961). In this decision the Courtstill did not decide whether aperson can be punished for refus¬ing to register!The real purpose of the McCar¬ran Act can be seen in the factthat although th Justice Depart¬ment tried for 7 years and was notable to convict Claude Lightfootin a court of law of membershipin the Communist Party under theSmith Act, it is now attemptingunder the McCarran Act to “find”him a member and require him toadmit his guilt under penalty oflaw. This process of “finding” hasnone of the aspects of a trial, andthe “finding” is made by a fewhandpicked men who have no re¬sponsibility to any legal body.Even ex Presioent Truman couldsee the danger in the Act when hevetoed it in 1950, warning that it“would open a Pandora's box ofopportunities for official condemna¬tion of organizations and individ¬uals for perfectly honest opinions.”This is because any group or in¬dividual can be legally classed andordered to register as “Commu¬nist” merely by taking a standsimilar to one taken by the Com¬munist Party. Thus any organiza¬tion which has ever advocatedcivil rights, civil liberties, or peacecould be so classed and so orderedsince these objectives are amongthose stated by the CommunistParty and Communists. TTie Mc¬Carran Act legalizes the conceptof “guilt by association,” the phil¬osophy underlying the activities ofthe late Senator McCarthy and theHouse Un-American Committee (HUAC). The constitutionality ofthe Act can not be challenged atthe SACB hearings, nor can theguilt of the persons involved withrespect to the crimes they maybe compelled to confess to. Thesequestions were “decided” when thebill was passed in Congress, andare now considered irrelevant un¬der the law.The first case heard under theAot will, among others, involvealleged members of the Commu¬nist Party. However, that the Actcan be used against any organiza¬tion is demonstrated by the regis¬tration orders against the Ameri¬can Committee for the Protectionof the Foreign Born, The NationalCouncil for Soviet-AmericanFriendship, the Veteran of theAbraham Lincoln Brigade (whofought against fascism in theSpanish Civil War), the Mine, Milland Smelter Workers Union, andAdvance, a liberal action youthgroup in New York.These early cases may seem farremoved from our campus, but infact they are not. It is a shortstep from the- afore mentionedorganization to some of the civilliberties and civil rights organiza¬tions on our own campus.Interested students who wouldlike to learn more about the Mc¬Carran Act and the SACB shouldattend the hearings here in Chica¬go this week (starting today andprobably lasting for a couple ofdays). Anyone not convinced o<the obviously dangerous na'ure o4the McCarran Act can see for him¬self at tiie hearings how a groupof nrvon, all hand picked andscreened by Senator Eastland, canlegally compel individuals to con¬fess to crimes, without hearing anyevidence as to whether or not theyhave committed them.Theodore PearsonNOW YOU KNOWwhy more people smoke Winston than any other filter cigarette.Flavor does it every time—rich, golden tobaccos speciallyselected and specially processed for filter smoking!0PURE WHITE, !MODERN FILTER !PLUS j FILTER-BLEND UP FRONTlike a cigarette should!© IMS *.

C, f Advance needs helpTO THE EDITOR:Attorney General Kennedy hasasloed the Subversive ActivitiesControl Board to order the Ad¬vance Youth Organization (of NewYork) to register as a “Communis*front” under the provisions of theMcCarran Act. In his petition hestated that “the purpose of theorganization is aiding and support¬ing the Communist Party by con¬ducting picket lines, protest rallies,propaganda campaigns, and otheractivities.” The very wording ofhis declaration indicates howbrazenly the government is actingjn trying to stifle dissent in thiscountry. “Picket lines, protestrallies, propaganda campaigns” —these are activities which many ofus engage in at some time. But ifKennedy has his way, these activi¬ties will be allowed only for thosegroups whose ideas the govern¬ment considers “legitimate.” Othergroups will be labeled “foreignagents’’ of some sort.The false and unconstitutionallabeling of the Communist Partyitself as a foreign agent was atransparent excuse to outlaw thatpolitical party and was a seriousblow to the civil liberties of all ofus. Now tiie definition of foreignagent is being extended, and willbe extended further.The attack upon Advance is thefirst attack upon a student organi¬zation, but it will not stop there.The ultimate purpose of the attackis to try to push back the growingstudent movement, to create againthe atmosphere of fear and un¬thinking submission which charac¬terized the campus of th 1950’s.The attack will succeed unless wefight back.The Young Socialist Alliancedoes not agree with the programof Advance, BUT THAT IS NOTTHE ISSUE.

YoungSocialist Alliance2 * CHICAGO MAROON • 23. 1H3»*■ 'W* SG representatives discuss recall issuesThe 13 Student Government rep¬resentatives up for recall were askedto respond to the following ques¬tions. All but Mike Ormond replied.1. What does the POLIT statement meanto you? How will it influence your futureactions as a member of SG?2. What would you consider a contro¬versial jxditical issue? Do you considerany issues upon which SG or POLIT hastaken a stand in the past year controver¬sial political issues?2.Exnlain your vote on the Cuban reso¬lution0 Knowing what you know now aboutcampus reaction, could you again cast thesame vote on the blockade resolution asyou did in the SG Assembly in October?4. What do you consider your responsi¬bility to your constituents in the College?What do you consider your responsibility toyour political party?5. What do you consider the function ofUC’s indent Government?6 What have you. personally, contrib¬uted fo SG this year?7. Do you have any additional statementon the recall?MICHAEL WOLLAN1. The statement expresses an attitudetoward the responsibilities of the represen¬tative to those who elect him. It is an at¬titude which places emphasis on the ideathat the representative has got to bemore aware of what the student body isthinking and why. POLIT simply has to bemore willing to make efforts to considerwhat o'her people are concerned about.2. Cuba is a controversial political issue,the Berlin Wall is another, and the India-China conflict a third. The only possibleway to draw the line is by example.3. T would not cast the same vote.4 and 5. SG is a part of the university.Thus, its functions ought to be determinedto a great extent by the functions of theuniversity. A university, in turn, ought tolx* a community of scholars. A studentgovernment can contribute to the creationof a student community by using its re¬sources to stimulate intellectual debate onissues students ought to be concerned with.This, it seems to me, is the primary func¬tion of a student government. If it is in aposition to make contributions to studentwelfare through providing services, itshould do that also. But the contribution itcan make to the continuation of an at¬mosphere of free inquiry, of concern foreducational, social, and political problemsis more significant, and more in concertwith the idea of a university.7. It seems to me that the basic issueat stake is one of which approach to therole of the student in the university thecampus prefers. POLIT believes that everyactivity in which the University engagesis the proper concern of the student. TheUniversity is not an isolated institution.It is a major element in the politicalpower-complex of a large city. Its policiesto a large extent determine what kind ofpolicies will govern people in no way em¬ployed by it or attending it. Specificallythe people of Woodlawn and Kenwood aredeeplv affected by the University. Thus,POLIT believes students have got to asktherm-elves, “What is going on in Wood-lawn0 What is the University’s policy inWoodlawn?” If this is the approach thecampus wants, POLIT ought to representthe student body. If the campus wants adifferent approach, we ought to be re¬called. ' -VGENE KADISHa. No commentb. As a representative to Student Gov¬ernment and a member of the POLITparty, I will naturally be influenced by thedecisions made at the caucuses. The POLITstatement will necessarily influence myfuture votes because certain issues willnot present themselves.2. The Cuban issue is a “controversialpolitical issue; the Stagg scholarship issueis not. The exact meaning of the phrase“controversial political issues” will haveto be determined by future POUT cau¬cuses.The Cuban issue would fall in the cate¬gory. and I would assume in the futurethat POLIT would not introduce this kindof issue into the Student Government.3. First of all, my letter to the Maroonin December fully explains my position inthe vote and I still stand behind what Isaid in the letter. As long as an issue suchas this is brought up in the SG, 1 ambound by my own conscience to vote onthat issue consistent with any personalfeelings.4. The answer to this question is alsofound in my December letter to the Ma¬roon. Generally, I feel that in the systemof representative government at UC, the political parties are elected to representthe student body rather than individuals.Because of this form of representation,I’m forced to consider the opinions ex¬pressed in the party caucuses as beingindicative of student body opinions. I cansay this because POLIT caucuses are andalways have been open to any students,with specific rules granting the privilegeto speak to any student who wishes tomake use of it.(The statement is on p. 8) 5. The functionof the Chicago SG is to represent the entirestudent body of the University. Granted thatmany times the opinions expressed by theSG are not taken to represent the meanopinion of all the University’s students,nevertheless the SG has the potentiality ofbecoming a forum for the opinions of theactive and interested students on this cam¬pus, and this potentiality ought not to bequickly disregarded by the part of the Uni¬versity to which its opinions are usuallydirected.6.My personal contribution to the gov¬ernment will not be found in the minutesof meetings or in the reports of commit¬tees. I served as the chairman of POLIT,to act not as a voice of the party dogma,but more to act as a voice of the theorybehind the party. Very plainly, my role ingovernment meetings was more or less agadfly and I stung POLIT members atleast as often as I stung “the opposition.”RUSS KAYOne of the major questions you areasking is to whom am I, as a member ofthe SG assembly, responsible? Should Ianswer according to the dictates of myconscience, of campus opinion, or ofPOLIT?By and large I agree, personally, withthe views expressed by POLIT; this iswhy I am a member of POLIT. As a mem¬ber I feel obligated to not oppose theparty’s positions, as stated in its plat¬form and in statements it may issue, un¬less I make it public when policy is adoptedthat I will not follow it.POLIT, after all, won its seats in SGon the basis of its platform, and opposi¬tion to that platform would be acting con¬trary to the expressed wished of thevery people who elected POLIT, i. e.,POLIT’s constituency.When anyone is elected to office, hisfirst responsibility is to those people whoelected him, and not to those people whowere opposed to his election. Were he toact otherwise, he would be guilty of hav¬ing lied in his campaign, and would there¬fore be unworthy of having been elected.I think it is obvious to anyone that UCstudents do form and hold opinions on agreat many things which concern them,both in their role as citizens and theirrole as students. As a scholar-citizen, more¬over, the student—any student, anywherein the world — occupies a special position,socially and politically. Generally speak¬ing, it is all right for the student to ex¬press his views in more active, moremilitant, and more direct ways than thenon-student. The phrase student voicemeans something.This special status that the student en¬joys, however, carries with it the responsebility to use it. The student who doesboth himself and his society an injustice.There is a great deal of pressure thesedays, especially in this country, for stu¬dents to keep quiet. A student’s only realjob is to study, goes the line. What cri¬tics of student action forget about, though,is that while he is at the university, thestudent is living in a nice, sheltered en¬vironment which bears very little re¬semblance to the world he will live injust a few years hence. In a short timethe student will be living in the realworld, and it will require a lot more thanacademic training. This is why I say thatthe student must involve himself now inthe world he will live in shortly. Educa¬tion doesn’t stop when you leave CobbHall.What I am leading up to is that thestudent should think and should act, andthat there can be no more fitting organi¬zation to represent the * student voice”of the University of Chicago than itselected, representative body, the StudentGovernment assembly. The function ofSG is to present this voice — to thefaculty, to the campus, to the administra¬tion, to the community, and, yes, to thecountry and the world. I do not meanto say that SG is or should be the onlygroup to do this, but it is the only onewhich can really claim to represent morethan a few students of similar inte.restsbanded together.Th?refore I think it is right for SG totake stands on political issues. I do notthink that it should, in its capacity as arepresentative body, take a stand whichis manifestly not representative of studentfeeling. This is, unfortunately, just what the SG assembly did with regard to theCuban blockade. One reason that thisaction was taken was that, at the time,it was not obvious that student opinionwould run the way it did. I voted as I didbecause I felt that the United States’overt act of war against any — and every¬one sailing to Cuba was wrong and poseda critical threat to world peace. I thoughtthat this view was shared by many morestudents than actually did. Were I votingon the issue now, I could not vote for theresolution in the SG assembly.To prevent such mistakes from happen¬ing again is difficult. When POLIT saysthat it will not take stands in the SG as¬sembly on controversial political issueswithout ascertaining student opinion be¬forehand, it is providing the best safe¬guard that it can. Determining what iscontroversial and what is not is, of course,the problem.The Cuban blockade was pretty contro¬versial at the time. Feelings were strong,both right and left. Controversy, afterall, is something that you can feel. Itdoesn’t hide its head. You know when it’spresent. Cuba was controversial; HUACand James Meredith were not — at leastat UC.Determining student opinion can be donein many ways, aside from opinion polls.Certainly the most accurate way, the onereflecting the views of more students thanany other, is through the Spring SG elec¬tions, because of the political party systemon the campus. Candidates for SG runon issues, not merely on personality andfriendships. POLIT prints up a rather de¬tailed platform every year, explaining itspolitical philosophy and its views onparticular issues which are important atthe time. When POLIT was elected lastSpring, the student body knew full wellwhat POLIT stood for, and evidently pre¬ferred it to all the other alternatives.So much for what I think. What haveI done in SG this year? I was chairmanof the Election and Rules Committee forthe first part of last quarter, which in¬volved setting up and running the opinionpoll on the Cuban blockade. (I did notdraw up the questions, however.) I re¬signed that position thereafter becauseI felt that I would not be able to sparethe time away from studies and classesin the Spring to run the Spring elections.Presently I am working on the NSACommittee, helping to arrange a seriesof seminars on Africa.PETE RABINOWITZ1) My own summary of the rather long-winded POLIT statement is that POLIT,recognizing the conflict between the twomajor responsibilities of a representative(his conscience and his constituency), willattempt in the future to shift the balancemore toward the “constituency” half, es¬pecially in “controversial political issues.”Assuming I’m still in SG after the recall,my actions on such “controversial politicalissues” will be rather severely limited,since because of the statement they won’tcome up for action in the assembly. Sincemost of my action in SG, however, is not inthe field of international espionage, butrather concerns such mundane things asthe coop, busses to New York, et al, itought not have TOO much effect.2) Controversial Political Issue: a speciesof issue which is characterized by the risingtemperature of the person discussing it.Generally, an issue on which multitudesof students hold violent and opposing views.Examples: Cuba resolution, decision to holdthe recall.3) Obviously, there were a large numberof factors influencing my vote on the Cubaresoluion. Among them were my person¬al convictions on Cuba and the cold warin general; the POLIT platform by whichI was somewhat bound, the tension andpressure on campus at the time; consid¬eration of what I felt to be opinion ofthose students who had voted for me inthe spring; certain plays by Jean-PaulSartre; my opinion of Adlai Stevenson;fear of getting blown to hell, etc.The second half of question 3 is im¬possible to answer for it projects a situa¬tion which does not exist and in which itis impossible to place oneself.4) The representative, as stated above,has an obligation both to his conscienceand to those persons who voted for him.The former is, in general, the more im¬portant, although the latter must alwaysbe kept in mind, especially on such thingsas the Cuba resolutions.On any given issue, the representativemust weigh the two factors (assumingthey disagree) there is no formula aboutthe weight of each; it depends on the situ¬ation at the time. A representative isresponsible to the Party insomuch as itrepresents the voters, and, theoretically,the ideals of the representative. 5) Student Government has the function ofdoing anything it can to better the livesof the students, and to represent themto the administration and the outsideworld. Among its activities can be suchthings as coop bookstores, flights toEurope, protests against Stagg Scholar¬ships, protests against closing the Com¬mons, movies and lectures, recall elec¬tions ....6) As treasurer of SG, I have the dull jobof looking after the financial affairs ofSG, especially the coop bookstore. I have,of course dutifully devoted myself to var¬ious committees bearing imposing seriesof initials, and am now helping arrangea discussion series with faculty and admini¬stration, in conjuction w'ith the Maroon andWUCB.TERRI RAY1. The POLIT statement is a declarationof policy, of purpose, and an explanationof the way POLIT will conduct its actionsin the future. It represents a change fromthe past and a clarification of viewpoint.The statement constitutes a basis on whichto consider my actions in the future.2. A controversial issue on this campusis one on which there is not wide-spreadcampus agreement. An example of a con¬troversial issue would be a partisan issuesuch as the endorsement of a political can¬didate. I think the stand Student Govern¬ment took on Cuba would be about theonly controversial political issue on whichwe took a stand in the past year.3. In times of crisis, when events aremoving rapidly, I think it is our duty tostate our opinions on actions of which wedon’t approve. Public opinion polls arelong and cumbersome and when eventsare moving toward a crisis, we must lookto our consciences in making decisions. Wewere elected by the student body with ourattitudes and stands clearly stated. Whetherit was approved of or not, this is the standthat could have been expected. It is thebasis and foundation of representativegovernment that if stands are adequatelyand honestly expressed before election, rep¬resentatives may act in the name of theirconstituents. Knowing what I do now, Iwould not take the same stand on theCuban issue.4. It is my responsibility to representthe student body to the best of my ability.It is my duty to fight for what I believein open caucuses, and to support the ma¬jority decision unless it conflicts with ahigh moral principle.5. The function of student governmentIs to provide services for the student body,and to represent the student body to theadministration and to the outside. To beeffective, these functions must be co-ordi¬nately performed.DICK JACOBSON1. It doesn’t mean very much to me,since I am not bound by it. To a memberof POLIT, though, I think it is a largestep towards enhancing .SG-student bodycommunications. It is the breaking downof this line of communication that is caus¬ing all this trouble.2. According to Webster’s, a controver¬sial issue is one in which there is con¬troversy. It is impossible to be more pre¬cise without having a precise issue to talkabout. I don’t think, however, that becauseit is so difficult to define controversy inthe abstract that it is anything but atrivial exercise in observation to determinewhether any specific issue is controversial.There are several stand? which SG hastaken that might be considered controver¬sial: Cuba, for one, womens’ hours foranother and the Stagg scholarship issuefor a third,3. I thought, in October, that a majorityof students in the college would supportthe stand I took on Cuba. This misunder¬standing on my part resulted from thelack of SG-campus communication that Imentioned earlier. If the issue came upagain, there would be no question as tohow the student body would feel about it,and I would certainly not cast the samevote.4. My responsibility to the students ofthe College is the same as any represen¬tative’s to any constituency. I am respon¬sible for making the wishes of my constit¬uency heard on the floor of the assembly;I must reflect, as best as I am able, thedesires of the electorate. The problemarises in discerning what the wishes ofthe students are. On some issues, there isno student opinion to speak of. On others,howe/er, like Cuba, the violence of thecampus’ reaction is staggering. SG hasbeen trying, ever since I have been amember, to remedy this situation by in¬viting non-SG connected students to serve(continued on poqe A)Jon- 23. 1963 • CHICAGO MAROON • 3'jffiib\I?*'T*1 Stagg awards and generalThe history of the Stags’ scholarships and a number of objections tothem ure discussed in the following excerpts from a discussion on the Staggscholarships and general aspects of the University's financial aid policies.Discussants are H arner H ick, professor of philosophy and dean ofstudents: Eduard Rosenheim, professor of Englislt. a member of the fac¬ulty selection committee, and an alumnus of the class of 1939: Arthur Mac•Ewan, president of Student Government: and hen Taylor, l niversityTarty. I.aura Godofsky, editor of the Maroon, serves as moderator.Also included in the discussion are four participant-observers: SteveWestheimer, TOUT; lion Dorfman, TOUT; Hill klecka, UT; and MikeIf oil an (TOUT), vice president of Student Government.The discussion was taped on f rid ay at the HI i.H studios.Godofsky: To begin, I would like to .ask Mr. Wick to explain thehistory of the Stagg scholarships, the conditions under which they willbe given, and particularly the University’s role in getting them initiated.Wick: I think we had best begin the history way back. Amos AlonzoStagg, the grand old man of Chicago athletics, was going to be 100 yearsold sometime last August. In anticipation of this event, it was thoughtthat a great many of his friends, pupils, and products, who hold himin great awe and respect, would want to do something to recognize this scholarship money which it desperately needs ... or to commemoratea fiMacEwan: There seems to have been a rather significant misunder¬standing between myself and Mr. Wick. I’d like to make clear justwhat I thought the purpose of this referendum was.When I spoke to you and we first set it up last quarter, there wasa reason you wanted to make the questions out with us, and that yousort of wanted to be co-sponsor of this referendum. If I understood itat that time you said that in making future policy concerning the Staggscholarships, the University would seriously consider the results ofthis. Now I realize that that’s not a definite commitment to anything,but you seem to have left that out. You seem to have left out the effecton the administration..Wick: I will now acknowledge it, that is it s impossible to ignorefacts.anniversary.Among the possibilities was a general fund which would be usedto put the Field House in shape, do a lot of work in Bartlett Gymnasium,maybe do something about new squash courts which we need verybadly.Some preliminary explorations were carried on by the developmentoffice — I’d say this was two years ago or more — and it quicklybecame apparent that money in the order that was needed for thesepurposes just wasn’t going to come through, at least without a greatdeal of effort. But there was a good deal of very genuine interest indoing something to perpetuate Mr. Stagg’s tradition, and they thoughtone of the best ways to do it with the amount of money that would beavailable was to endow a scholarship which would attract and incidentallyalso support students who would indeed be in the tradition that Staggstood for.Now I want everybody to understand that Mr. Stagg was the firstathletic director in the United States to be a full professor, a memberof the faculty. He always regarded himself as a member of the faculty,of the university, and was indeed so called, and it was so written intothe statutes. This is a tradition that still carries on. Wally Haas isprofessor of physical education as well as director of athletics.Stagg always was a man who was especially concerned about theacademic progress of his students and about the place athletics had intheir development and in their total education. He in no way representsthe football coach who is himself a careerist going on till eventuallyhe arises at the level where he can graduate to the Chicago Bears orsomething like that, and run a team of gladiators.At any rate, the scholarship fund was established by people whostood for this sort of thing. They worked through Assistant to thePresident James Sheldon, and last spring at the annual dinner of theOrder of the C, the whole tiling was announced as something alreadygoing with money in the bank and invitations went out to people tocontribute more.At that time there were no very detailed conditions set down; therewas only some very loose talk, and, as Charles O’Connell the directorof admissions and financial aid, explained at a meeting last week,what the donors originally thought of was an all-expense scholarship.Now, all expense scholarships are out-of-date; they are an anach¬ronism. We said no, they would not do; and suggested as a tuitionscholarship with a provision that this could be supplemented accordingto need. We had this effect on the way the thing is set up now.On the other hand, and I will be very frank about this, the otherextreme — that instead of it being an all-expense scholarship, it wouldbe given only like any other scholarship in general university funds onthe basis of need only; and therefore it wouldn't be given to anybodywho didn't have any need — was also rejected for the simple reasonthat the people who gave this wanted the recipients to be identifiedas boys of certain kinds. They thought that anybody who had therequisite qualities would be in such demand by all kinds of colleges —and I don't mean by the athletic departments of those colleges, but ingeneral — that a little bait would really be necessary if it was to meananything. So that’s why the full tuition was writen in as a kind of floor.MacEwan: As I understand it, though, participation in a sport willnormally be expected of a Stagg scholar. It would be an important con¬sideration, but not a necessary condition for renewal. Well, I think thishas to be emphasized, that it’s an important consideration for renewal,and I would point out that if after one’s first year, one did not remainan athlete, one could no longer remain a scholar-athlete, and it wouldseem very difficult for the University to justify giving him money froma fund for scholar athletes. On these grounds it almost seems as if it isa four year scholarship dependent upon athletic participation.Dorfman: On the other hand, suppose the gentleman kept up hisathletics but not his scholarship.Wick: Now here it would be too bad. We have an understandingwith all the members of the selection committee that being on theteam is not a necessary condtion for holding this scholarship, but it is animportant consideration.In other words, this is not pay for service. The important thing isthat these scholarships are designed to bring a certain kind of personto the university; once you’ve got that kind of person, and you’ve notmade a mistake in thinking that he is the kind of person that he is,that’s all you really care about.Godofsky: Suppose this person were to come to UC, work veryhard in his first year, get straight A’s, and was the star of the swimmingteam, but in his second year, he decides that all he wants to do is goon getting his straight A’s and quits the swimming team, saying hewill no longer participate in sports. Will he get his scholarship back?Wick: I would make a prediction: It he were the sort of boy whomMr. Stagg would have wanted, he would resign the Stagg scholarshipand he would of course be eligible for any regular scholarship.Godofsky: What effect on the current status of the money in theStagg scholarship fund or on the administration of the Stagg scholar¬ships could this referendum have?If everybody supports the scholarships, I assume nothing will bechanged. But say there is a large vote, and I’d like you to specify howlarge would be necessary, against some of the current practices oragainst some of the stipulations of the Stagg scholarships. What’s thisgoing to mean?Wick: Well, it seems to me first that this is not a legislativesituation; it’s a registration of opinion.If it looked as if a vast majority of people thought that the Univer¬sity shouldn’t have accepted this money, shouldn’t continue to administerit in its present form, and should alter its provisions in some way, thiswould obviously have an effect on incoming checks. JJhis news wouldnot be a secret; lots of people would say, “Well if they don’t want mymoney, I’m not going to give it to them.’’ It seems quite clear.Similarly, it would have an effect on the applicants. I’m quite surethat any Stagg scholar who comes here will be living in a goldfish bowlanyway, and this makes it a little harder, if he thinks that he’s disap¬proved of, he’s less apt to be one.On the other hand, I would hope that the students would respect theright of the alumni and other people in good faith to give the University Rosenheim: If the results of this referendum showed so dramaticallystudent distaste for this undertaking, what would you think about afaculty referendum? Would you be equally governed by their views?Wick: Well, it’s a little difficult ... it depends, you know. If theyhappen to run in opposite directions, it would be rather hard to begoverned by them both.Rosenheim: By either of them.MacEwan: I think that would be just fine to have a secret ballotfaculty referendum._ 'MacEwan: The scholarship which we are speaking of . . . Is whatthis attracts to the university, the way this changes the university,desirable?Wick: How does it change the University?MacEwan: If it doesn’t change the University, T see very little pointin it, except simply to get more money, and I think that isn t whatyou’ve indicated. I think that you’ve indicated that there’s somethingbesides money here. You’ve talked about the type of student that wewant to bring here.Wick: One of the glories of this University, if we’re looking at itsstudents, is that they represent one of the most varied, heterogeneouslots that you will find in any university of its kind.When we say that we would like to have two Stagg scholars a year,we are not changing the University. We are working on the same con¬ception that we had all the time; namely, quality of varied types, andwe want to make sure that we’ve got the variety.MacEwan: Mr. Wick, %hy is it this type that’s emphasized? Youclaim this doesn’t make a change in the University, and how significanta change it is is certainly very questionable.Obviously when I’m talking about the question of changing theuniversity, I’m not talking about the two people that are going to comein each year on these Stagg scholarships. I’m talking about somethinggreater than this. I’m talking about the effect of the dinner that washere, the effect of the publicity, he effect of Mr. O'Connell’s implicationthat this is designed to attract attention. Now I think it’s This sort ofthing that changes the University, not the two people that change theuniversity.Rosenheim: May I interrupt. You say you're talking about alumni . . .It seems to me that your discussion on the right of the alumni to docertain things and provide certain things is putting it a little strongly,because it seems to me to be a fairly simple matter, so simple a matterthat I have been frankly astonished at the almost hysterical degreeof concern that has been displayed since the scholarship was offered.But I should think that it would be a very appropriate thing, and itis a very traditional thing around here for alumni and friends of theuniversity to make it possible to offer scholarships to people who con¬form in every particular to the academic standards traditionally expectedof holders of that scholarship. If in addition, their particular belief oridentification, memberships, or interests also suggest the additionalstipulation of this or that quality or character in the holder of thescholarship, this seems to me perfectly appropriate provided obviouslythat you do not subvert the principles to which the University or thelarger community are bound to adhere or provided also that it doesn'timpede the proper functioning of the University.As I think about this thing, it seems to me that the only explanationI can find for the passionate feeling that this has aroused is that some¬how the stipulation that the person who adheres to our academic stand¬ard be also able and interested as an athlete must be regarded as sub¬verting the principle.Now this raises a very interesting question. Each of us has his ownpet form of wickedness he hates, and you will find people in thestudent body or faculty who regard football I take it as widked, fratern¬ities as wicked, beer drinking as wicked, membership in the Republicanparty as wicked, membership in the Communist party as wicked, andso on. I think we should be sensitive and I think we should be tolerantabout these individual aversions; they’re perfectly easy to understand.But it seems to me that the attitude, which, as I say, with greatastonishment I find displayed in connection with this Stagg scholarshipis predicated upon the notion that the capacity to play a game well orto swim fast introduces a subversive element into the university com¬munity. So I’m asking you a question really, whether you think thisis true?MacEwan: Let me just read one passage from the purposes of theCollege from the College announcements. I don’t feel I’ve ever gottena satisfactory answer to this when I’ve spoken to Mr. Wick. The state¬ment reads:First of all, the College believes the primary purpose of education isintellectual. There may be other intriguing and even useful ends, butthey are secondary.’’Now I feel that when you say this Stagg scholarship is for theintellectual who is also an athlq^, in those terms, the way this hasbeen emphasized, I feel it’s inconsistent with that.Rosenheim: Well, what’s inconsistent about saying we shall wel¬come an intellectual who has been sent here by people who are interestedin him because he is an intellectual and also an athlete, the same waywe say we welcome someone who was sent here because he’s an intel¬lectual but who has been sent here by people because he’s a Greekintellectual, or a Jewish intellectual, or an intellectual who is the sonof a veteran of World War I, or an intellectual who is the son of anemployee of some corporation.Dorfman: I think we’re misplacing emphasis here. There arevar ious independent organizations which have been set up for particularpurposes, and I would allude particularly, for instance, to the NationalScholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students.Now I don t see any reason why someone who wished to endow ascholarship for Negro students because he wants Negroes particularlyto be educated could not give money to such an organization, or if helikes and has fond memories of his high school to give the money tohis high school to encourage their students to go to college, and if hewants to have it specilically for the University of Chicago, that’s amatter for the high school to determine.And similarly with athletics. I’m certainly not against athleticsper se . . . and I don’t see why something similar couldn’t be done withathletics. There are numerous organizations for the promotion of ath¬letics, and my concern is not particularly with this scholarship or evenwith all of these scholarships for specific purposes, but it just seems tome that the University does too many things already which don’t per¬tain specifically to its education and research role.

I don’t want to saythat this is a plot. It s not obviously; it’s part of a general trend thatis taking place over a number of things.Rosenheim: Aren’t you saying really the same thing people havesaid here for years, that one of the things that’s nice about this universityis that you get away from the typical rah-rah establishment, that youhave freedom, that the maverick is more comfortable here and morehonored here I take it, and in short, that you feel relatively unfettered?Now, this seems to me, since you made a distinction between primaryand secondary aspects of a university, to be a very secondary, albeitvaluable aspect of the university, and I revert to your quotation thatintellectual excellence and inquiry are the principle business of theuniversity.MacEwan: Exactly, and I think that that is why it is so importantthat in these other areas, the university stay out. Let me make my pointin regards to athletes especially.First of all, let me say that I think we have a terrific athletic pro¬gram at this school, as far as intramural sports. Everybody who wantsto play gets a chance, and that’s what’s very good.Now, the point is that the university shouldn’t try to take this out asa positive aspect in terms of trying to attract more people of this type.The only thing athletic about a university is that it’s a large gatheringof young men particularly ... But I don’t think this is in any wayintrinsically related to athletics ... I don’t think it is something thatshould be emphasized as the intellectual, and also the athlete, is what’simportant.Wick: I would like to say that one of the things that makes thisuniversity distinctive is not only the ratio of future PhD. the collegeturns out, but also the proportion of theatrical people, of great eclat thatit turns out. Now I can look forward to the day, maybe a generationhence, when there will be a Nichols and May Scholarship.Bill Klecka: What is your objection to Stagg scholarships?MacEwan: It’s part of a number of things that are changing in theuniversity. I don’t think it’s making this drastic change all by itself; Idon't know if the change is so drastic, but as much as I care about thesethings, I care about this change. Now, the Stagg scholarship is in manysenses, a little thing which is representative.Rosenheim: Am I correct, sir, in saying, that you do not take thissingle manifestation in itself as deplorable, but you said there areother things; now, what are the other things?Westheimer: The discussion is on the Stagg scholarships. If youwant other examples, perhaps we can give them without going intothem, and stay on the Stagg scholarships.What we are objecting to is not the Stagg scholarship as such, buta change in the emphasis, what we think is an emphasis, on the roleof the university and the role that the student plays in the university.Other examples: The residence rule might be a change in em¬phasis. The fact that someone should wear a coat and tie to dinner,that someone or a group of people would decide that this is a policywhich we should follow might be a change in emphasis. The fact thatthe university is sponsoring buildings of fraternity quadranges at atime when all over the United States the fraternity system seems to.be dying might be a change in emphasis.But the particular emphasis of the Stagg scholarship is this: tous, I think, it smacks of recruitment. We are not bringing these peoplehere for other reasons and then saying, well in your third year youare now eligible because you excelled in sports and excelled in aca¬demic achievement, too.The other thing is this: the emphasis again seems to be that weare looking for athletes that also happen to be scholars.Wick: I think if we’re talking about emphasis, I think that thiswhole thing is vastly blown up by the brouhaha that’s come up aboutit.Taylor: On his matter of change of emphasis, I'd like to askDean Wick. He seems to agree that there has been a change of em¬phasis, and in view of the fact that changes of emphasis in the pasthave drawn considerable student protests, I would like to ask why inthe formulation of the manner in which the Stagg scholarships wereto be given, that is the question of need and the objection to the factthat need is not specified in the scholarships, why in some way, asfar as I know the student’s weren’t made knowledgeable as to the formu¬lation of the Stagg scholarships. Why wasn’t student opinion broughtin so that this blow-up which has occurred now wouldn’t have been assevere.I think that the administration should have recognized that thismight have happened. There has been a lack of communications betweenthe student body and the administration and this is something that weall recognize. I’d like to ask if in this particular case it couldn’t havebeen recognized in advance? •Wick: Well; it probably could have, but I think that certain thingsdid happen that I’d like to remind you of. All this was talked aboutat the time of the Order of the C dinner last June. The Maroon knewabout it from then on; in fact, last spring I recall there was a littlesquib that went out, the Maroon quoted it on the editorial page, andthen underneath it said, “Tennis anyone?”Now, how come nobody responded then? It wasn't until this fallwhen under certain other pressures on campus a routine press releasewent out that was suddenly seized upon and made much of.MacEwan: To say that we’ve blown this up ... in our protest . . .Wick: Would be the obvious truth.MacEwan: I want to get onto this questionnaire. I assume he ap¬proves of the scholarship as it is and I would like to know why needsshouldn’t be made a provision, and what’s so terrible about makingthis only for second, third, and fourth year students who have provedthemselves therefore making it impossible to use it for recruitment.Wick: To make need a necessary condition for being awarded aStagg scholarship would tend to interfere with its purpose, and this isconnected very directly with your second question. The University is —any university must be—very deeply concerned with the quality ofstudents it’s getting, the variety of students that it’s getting. Universitiesare not necessarily interested in the well rounded student, but they areinterested in the well-rounded student community; they like to havelots of different people, and anything we can do to attract the verybest students of a variety of types I think very important.MacEwan: Mr. Wick, the last thing you said there regarding theUniversity’s wanting to attract certain types of students. That meansthat you want to now start attracting athletes. I’m not saying that they’renot scholars. You want to make some little change right?Wick: I’d like to clarify the question of the amount, kind, and soforth of change. It’s true that when you have a special endowed fundfor a special purpose you have an instrument that will enable you todo something that you might not have been able to do so well before.To this extent, there’s been a change. However, there is no change inour aim which has always been to attract as many students of highquality with special gifts along special lines as possible, and I assureyou that we are knocking ourselves out to get students of top academicqualifications all the time.I think one of the things about the Stagg scholarships is that it willmake it easier for us to get students with the academic distinction thatoften escape us when they’re lured away. So I’ll admit the change in that we’ve got an instrument we didn’thave; I won’t admit a change in respect to the kind of people we’dlike to have. NKlecka: Art, a little while ago you objected to a change of emphasiswhich you thought the scholarship would bring about. I’d like to knowwhat your objections are to a change of emphasis. Is a change of em¬phasis something bad?MacEwan: Well, I obviously like it the way it was.Klecka: Well, maybe it would be better if there were a change. Howdo you know? . . . What do you think the bad things about a change ofemphasis would be?MacEwan: In this particular scholarship? I don’t want to make anyextreme statement—and this is the difficulty when you take all thesethings together, I think it’s a step away from what Mr. Rosenheim wascharacterizing as the freedom of the university, the individualistic atti¬tude each student has toward the university, the university having thestudent along ouside his intellectual pursuits. I think these are the thingswhich are really important.Steve: I think we can make sort of a general statement. There’s noreason to go to the University of Chicago other than one, and that is thatyou can think or you will get a better academic education than going toyour own state university at greatly reduced costs. Now then, this pre¬supposes that this is the best school for you or probably the best sohool inthe country.In discussing the Stagg scholarships, constantly we’ve heard thatother schools do this. Well, this is not the point. Other schools haveathletic teams and we don’t know if this is necessary. State universitieshave big football programs and make a great deal of money which theysay goes into academic purposes. This I would say is wholly unneces¬sary. Now, two athletes here aren’t going to hurt anything, but whenthey are brought here because they are athletes and not because they arescholars—the two are organically connected I think in the Stagg scholar¬ships; they are athletes and they are scholars—they are not brought herebecause they are scholars and then told here are the teams you mayparticipate in if you like. This is the change in emphasis that I thinkwe’re worried about.Godofsky: We will now have summary statements from each of thefour major discussants.Rosenheim: I am disturbed by the introduction of the concept of free¬dom here. If I thought there were any question of freedom in anythingwe have been discussing, then I should be far more concerned than I am.Actually, as I said at the outset, I’m kind of surprised at the tre¬mendous tempest that this thing has blown up and I do feel that yougentlemen—or some of you—are speaking in a way which rather negatesthe proposition that has been quoted twice concerning the primary pur¬poses of education being intellectual. Because the primary purpose ofeducation is intellectual at the University, we have lived happily andbenignly with everything in the world from dirty words in the Chi¬cago Review to people who vote Communist or who vote Fascist, or whohave bizarre practices of one sort or another. We have recognized that ourbusiness is intellectual.If at a particular time, a scholarship is set up essentially at the initia¬tive of a certain number of people which continues to honor in everyrespect the intellectual integrity of the university, but attaches to it thisother aspect, the athletic aspect, the athletic aspect is bound within thekind of society we live in to remain as secondary as the Chicago Reviewdirty words or the politics or the political parties in which you are in¬volved. , \Now the one thing that distresses me somewhat is the implication,which I think is a rather unexamined one, that the admission of peoplewho are athletes, who conform to these scholarly requirements we have,in any way jeopardizes the most important thing about this university,which is intellectual excellence.MacEwan: Well, I don’t believe that that was the implication I meant.I don’t believe that I ever implied that there was anything wrong withathletes as such. There is something wrong, however, in taking an at¬tribute in a person’s personality, or physique, and attaching to this anyspecial importance and making this an important criteria upon which heis admitted, upon which he is attracted, upon which he is recruited for anintellectual institution. And that’s all I’m saying. I’m not saying thatthere’s any contradiction necessarily between athletics and intellectualactivity. But I am saying that there’s nothing inherent about the con¬nection—any positive connection between them.Wick: I think I would only want to say now that we should recall thatone of the most ancient educational ideals in the western world involvesnot only the things of the muses but also gymnastic, and that the classicauthor of this view said that the ultimate significance of gymnastic waswhat it did to the soul and that it therefore aided and abetted the develop¬ment of the philosophic virtues.Taylor: At this time I’d like to again register the dismay that thereappeared to be some misunderstanding in the early formulation of theStagg scholarships and that the issue was not picked up by the studentsapparently when it should have been, or that the administration failedto fully communicate what the ramifications of their announcement wouldhave been.Also, since we are faced with the fact that apparently the alumniwish to give the scholarship and in view that we apparently have assur¬ances that the academic status of the person who would be admitted andgiven a scholarship would if anything be above the average of studentsat the University of Chicago, and since it has been stated that this wouldfree money for other students I would say that at least the Stagg scholar¬ships are acceptable.Godofsky: We will now have summary statements from four observer-participants.Dorfman: If my memory of Plato is correct, the gymnastics part of aman’s education is prior and when he becomes a man he puts awaychildish things, and the philosopher-king is not a philosopher-king-athlete.Klecka: As I see the Stagg scholarship, it doesn’t seem to me tomaterially change the university or the student body. I think that the uni¬versity certainly needs the money for a scholarship fund, and I knowmany students who need money from the university to continue here.And, from a capitalist viewpoint, I do support Stagg scholarships forthe money that they wall provide for the University. The only thing dif¬ferent that I’d like to see is that they be given only to students whoneed money and those students who qualify in other respects be givenonly an honorary Stagg scholarship — that is, no money, but a certifi¬cate saying, this student is a Stagg scholar.At the same time I feel that the Stagg scholarship should not becontinued, and I think the question it relates to is exactly what is thefunction of the University. Ought the university — any university, andthis university in particular — be spending any of its time and energyencouraging athletics? Ought it be spending any of its time doing any¬thing except encouraging the cultivation of the mind? The intellectualfunction of the university. This to me seems to be the real issue.Westheimer: I have nothing to add to Mike’s statement. I think itvery well summarizes our position, and again, though, I would like topoint out the danger that we see in using the scholarship as a first yearscholarships particularly, which presupposes that people will be broughthere as athletes and as scholars, and not as scholars and other things.Representatives analyze their SG roleson committees, participate inactivities, come to SG Assembly meetings,and so on. It hasn’t been enough, so far,but ideas such as setting up weekly meet¬ings between several assembly membersand the student body in the Dorm loungeswill further the solution.At present, being independent. I am notbound by the actions of any political party.6. The function of SG as far as thestudent is concerned is to provide as manyservices and privileges as possible. Itshould serve as an organized voice of stu¬dent oninion on every issue affecting stu¬dents. It should encourage student facultyrelations and concern itself with the neigh¬borhood of the University. Anything it mustdo to reach the goals above should be done.6 In my caoacity as chairman ofCampus Action Committee, I have beenarranging a lecture series for late winterand spring quarter, in conjunction withSFRC and the Soc II staff. I am presentlyengaged in finding a way to keep Hutchin¬son Commons open, and in improving liibrarv service on campus. The bill onwomens’ hours came out of my committee.As a member of the NSA committee Ihave actively participated in the projectsof this committee and I was an alternateto the Fall Regional of NSA held here lastquarter.7. I consider the recall impurely moti¬vated. Last spring there was an abortiveattempt, one week after elections, to re¬call the POLIT members elacted. The sametechnique is being used this year. This timea holy motive is claimed, however . . .Cuba. It’s not Cuba they’re after, it'sPOLIT. Or, to be more precise, POWER.SALLY COOKThe POLIT statement must be recognizedas an attempt to be responsive to thewishes of the student body as well as astatement of the beliefs and plans ofPOLIT members of SG. It is a recogni¬tion of our awareness of the reaction toour stand last October and a plan to avoida repetition of such. I think it grossly un¬fair that this action has been criticized asa “political tactic.” for we have beencriticized first for being unresponsive, thenfor being responsive.I feel the issues of a controversial politi¬cal nature which the policy statement isconcerned with, are those which, like theCuban crisis, are immediate and specific,and therefore have not been discussed inadvance. The POLIT platform, issued eachspring before elections, indicates to thestudent body the stands POLIT SG mem¬bers believe in and intend to make in SG.Such issues as HUAC, speakers’ bans. etc.we^e in that nlatform last spring and willcontinue to be in future platforms. APOLIT member of SG can and should feelbound to implement tho«e stands which hebelieves in and which, through the mediaof the written nlatform and personal cam¬paigning. he has made known to thecampus. The election, therefore, is the bestmeans of determining campus opinion onall issue* But, if something unforeseen andpreviously unmentioned arises. T chall feelbound not to take a stand as an SG mem¬ber until campus opinion shall have beendetermined.I think the Cuban crisis resolution is theonly stand this year whmh would be cov¬ered bv this statement. Other stands wereexplicitly stated in the paltform and there¬fore debated in advance.I do not feel that a reoresentative in anvgovernment should be simply a mirror ofthe maiority oninion. There must be rep¬resentation of the minorities so that com-orombes may be effected, or at least sothat the minority may have its views ex-oressed. Ideally there should be no conflictbetween what a representative feels andwhat those who elected him feel. If 90%of the campus fs in favor of SG’s supportof SNCC. for example, then representativeswho feel this way should comorise 90%of the assembly. If 30% of the studentbody is against the discount bookstore,then representatives who agree with thisposition should make up 30% of the as¬sembly. That is. the students must con¬sider the candidates’ personal views andvote for those with whom they agree mostclosely in order that there will be no ne¬cessity of choosing between one’s personalviews and one’s supporters’ views. An elec¬tion should insure that the two views arethe same.My vote on the Cuban resolution wasbased on this concept of a representativegovernment. My election seemed to me amandate to vote as I said I would, and Ifelt that my position was the logical ex¬tension of views and activities I had madepublic prior to my election.Specifically, my stand was based on theidea that a proper response to a threat topeace was not a second threat to peace.6 • CHICAGO MAROO In the future I shall be bound by therecent POLIT policy statement not to takea stand in SG if an issue similar to theCuban crisis should arise again. If anopinion poll shows that the majority dis¬agrees with me, I shall abstain rather thanviolate either my conscience or the dictatesof the students.My responsibility to POLIT and to thestudent body is fundamentally the same:the responsibility I have to those whoelected me and agree with me. I amanswerable directly to both. I vote “POLITline” not because of POLIT, but becauseI personally and sincerely agree with thestands POLIT as a whole has taken.SG, as the elected student organization,has a role and responsibility in the uni¬versity community, the student commu¬nity, and society in general. SG can andshould add its own special force, meaning,and resources to the work done by inde¬pendent. voluntary organizations, as wellas fulfilling its non-shared functions. Asstudents we have a particular role to playin society, and SG is one wav of imple¬menting this role. In short. SG is the in¬strument through which a real and effec¬tive student movement must function.As secretary of SG, I have spent manyhours doing the purely administrative workwhich must go on for so large and diversi¬fied an organization as SG to function. Inaddition, I assisted in the circulation ofthe womens’ hours petition, took charge ofthe collection in New Dorms of books forSNCC. served as an alternate to the NSACongress last summer, and as a delegateto the NSA Regional held here in Novem¬ber. For the latter, I organized the Housingarrangements. I am on the committeeswhich are co-ordinating a foreign studentprogram and the lecture series with theSoc. II staff.LAURIE GELLES1.The POLIT statement to me simplyexpresses what must be a basic principleof representative government: that ma¬jority party in government should not takeany action on issues which do not fall intoone of the following categories:1) Issues on which the position of theparty was clear at the time of theelection of that party:2) Issues on which the majority(meaning more than 50 per cent)of the campus supports proposedstand. /My future actions in SG will be guidedby these criteria.2. A controversial issue is one whichdoes not fall into one of the above catego¬ries: That is. a party would take a con¬troversial action if it took action on thebasis of a position which was not includedin their platform and which the majorityof the camnus is in disagreement.3. cf: Edmund Burke.I would now abstain or vote againstthe resolution.4 My responsibility to my constituentsis to remain faithful to the platform onwhich the party was elected. On questionsnot covered in the platform the represen¬tative if resoonsible to the feelings of themajority of his constituents.5. Mv feelings about the function ofU.C.’s Student Government accord with theopinions which have been clearly expressedin the POLIT platform since the party wasformed.6.

I feel that recall is a preventativemeasure not a punishment.PAMELA PROCUNIAR1. POLIT believes that students have aresponsibility to themselves and to theworld around them to be informed on thepressing concerns of today. As a politicalparty. POLIT makes every effort to informthe campus of such problems. After care¬ful consideration of issues, students in opencaucus, take stands which are then sup¬ported bv POLIT in action programs.POLIT SG members will continue to acton their nlatform and caucus suggestedstands. POLIT SG members, however, willnot attempt to pass SG legislation on newtopics on which it is difficult to determinecamnus consensus, particularly when suchproblems arise suddenly. POLIT as a parfvwill continue its policy of exploring suchtopics in educational and discussion pro¬grams. POLIT will continue to make itsbasic philosophy and specific prooos'd' forSG action known to the campus beforeelections take place.I fully support the policv statement andwill refrain from taking SG stands of “con¬troversial political nature” in the future.2. A controversial political issue is oneN • Jan- 23,1963 such as the blockade on which there hasnot been ample time for discilssion anddebate—an issue on which there is muchdivision of opinion—an issue on which theposition of POLIT has not been made clearduring the spring election campaign.On this campus, civil rights questionsclearly do not fall in this category.POLIT representatives in SG will con¬tinue to back platform stands opposingHUAC and the McCarran Act. Carefullyconsidered platform and caucus decisionswill receive full support.3.I voted as I did because T believedthe Cuban blockade could lead to countermoves which could lead the world tonuclear war. I felt that students must havethe courage to speak out against poten¬tially dangerous national policy. I felt thatthe students who elected me in the springshared my reservations about the policy. Ivoted for a resolution which clearly op¬posed both the missile bases in Cuba andthe blockade and asked that United Na¬tions’ action be taken to preserve peace.Knowing now that much of the college didnot share my reservations about the block¬ade, I would not vote the same way in SG.4. I ran on a political platform; I madeevery effort to let voters know what typeof action I would take in SG. I believe thatI am obligated to support the principlesand specific actions pledged in that plat¬form. At the same time, I have madeevery attempt to consider the wishes andparticular problems of all my constituents.I hope that after this recall students willremember to bring their suggestions forprojects and SG action to their represen¬tatives.5. I consider SG’s function to representstudent opinion on campus, national, andinternational issues—to provide servicesand activities which will aid in the es¬tablishment of an academic community—to provide lectures and discussions whichwill contribute to students’ knowledge.6. I ran this fall’s activity night, par¬ticipated in CORSO discussions on studentcode revisions, worked on the NSA re¬gional, participated in a city UN con¬ference, helped to set up the BJ discussionsand am currently working on the soc sc IIlecture serir', a series of radio discussionsfeaturing faculty and student participants,a lecture series on Africa, and programsto further contact between undergraduatesand foreign students on campus. 1 haveserved as CORSO chairman and am nowSFRC chairman and a member of the NSAand CAC and CORSO committees. I servealso as the Chicago northern student move¬ment contact, and hope to utilize my tu¬toring project experience in a program formigrant education sponsored by the NSAcommittee. I am presently attempting toset up a student committee on curriculum,and like other SG members have becomeproficient at answering phone calls andrequests for information about SG services.7. The thirteen people under recall arecurrently attempting to carry out manygovernment educational and service proj¬ects. They have been instrumental in set¬ting up tho student book co-op and travelservices. They have clearly spent mostof their time and energy on such problemsas library hours, dorm regulations and con¬ditions, housing discrimination in our owncommunity and discrimination issues in theSouth such as the cases of Kennard andMeredith. Student Government has effec¬tively co-operated in projects of CORE andthe Student Committee for Community Co¬operation (which runs the Woodlawn Tu¬toring Project.)BRUCE RAPPAPORTThe POLIT statement was an attempt tolay down certain guidelines for the use ofthe POLIT members of student govern¬ment in the event of a recurrence of asituation such as arose over the Cubanblockade. To me, it means that as aPOLIT member of SG, I have a clear obli¬gation to avoid taking stands “on futureissues of such a controversial political na¬ture as the Cuban crisis of Oct. 1962.” Nosuch clear guideline had existed previously..(a)—This question by its very natureis very difficult to answer. Each issue hasto be judged separately and if any criteriais set up it inevitably is subjective andthe definition again becomes meaningless.In general, about all one can say is thatsuch an “issue” is usually characterizedby its immediacy, its vital importance toa large number of people, and its beingthe subject of a great deal of heated dis¬cussion (its being a “disputatious” issue,as Webster’s explains).(b)—No.I think the Co-ordinating Secretariat ofISC (a conference of national student or¬ganizations all over the world) put it wellwhen it explained its opposition by sayingthat “All actions which create the possi¬ bility of a collision between the great powers must be avoided as a direct threatto peace,” and stressing its belief that“problems in relations between states can¬not be soVcd through aggressive meas¬ures.” I don’t want to go through the wholeargument again—it was stated very well inthe Resolution that the SG Assembly finallypassed—but I think what upset us was thenegative, aggressive nature of the blockadeOur concern was that such a negativepolicy was being followed to cover-up theadministration’s lack of a real constructiveforeign policy.If I had been aware at the time of theemergency SG meeting of the large amountof support for the “blockade.” I wouldhave abstained on the basis of being un¬able to vote one way because it was againstthe overwhelming opinion of my consti¬tuency and being unable to vote the otherway because of my strong, personal be¬liefs. The next question will explain whatI mean by this.My responsibility is to (1) vote in aresponsible manner on issues which con¬cern students; (2) work to get better aca¬demic and living facilities; (3) representthe student’s interest in dealing with theadministration, faculty, and non-Universitypersonnel: (4) work on one of the variouscommittees of SG and other SG activitiesin general. I feel that if a student is electedto an office it is a sign that his. consti¬tuency has a certain amount of faith inhis ability to formulate opinions on variousissues and to actually perform the respon¬sibilities of his office. He has then a dualresponsibility—both to represent his consti¬tuency’s interests and to vote to his ownconscience. The real basis of responsibledemocracy is the latter and such require¬ments as residence and frequent electionsare an attempt to try and guarantee thatthis will not interfere with the former.This duality of purpose is why, lookingback, I feel my correct action would havebeen abstention. My duty to vote as mvconscience dictated was in conflict withmy duty not to misrepresent my consti¬tuency.My lovaltv to my party runs along thesame lines. POLIT supported my candidacyboth because of my adherence to certainof their beliefs as expressed in their plat¬form and because of a certain faith in mvability to vote and work in a responsiblemanner. As I was running for a publicoffice it was also understood that I hadcertain obligations to those whom I rei>-resent.The purpose of the Student Governmentis to act responsibly and forthrightly inmatters in which the interest of studentsare involved. It is that and all that thisstatement implies. This means working inthe areas of student welfare (book co-op.chartered buses, etc.) toward improvingacademic and living facilities, representingstudent opinion to the administration andthe 'faculty, and expressing the opinion ofstudents as students on national and inter¬national issues.There has been much confusion over thislast point. The point is that students quastudents have an interest in issues otherthan purely academic ones. Those whomaintain students shouldn’t be concernedwith such issues are living in the wrongcentury, if not in the wrong age. Thosewho have argued that there already areorganizations to represent such opinions—CORE, UCSCL, YPSL, YR, etc.—miss avery important point. When these groupsexpress their opinion they do so by sayingthat the civil-rights minded students orsocialist-minded students or etc. at UC areexpressing an opinion' but when StudentGovernment expresses its opinion it isSTUDENTS IN GENERAL at UC. This isimportant because these issues are of sucha nature that not just certain limitedgroups should be concerned with them butthe student body as a whole.I have been majority leader of the As¬sembly and have functioned in that ca¬pacity. I have also been the chairman ofthe Community Relation Committee andthis is the area in which I have devotedthe most work. Our main project is thecontinuation of the efforts to eliminate ra¬cial discrimination policies, particularlythose practiced by our own administration.This project is a continuation of the ef¬forts that resulted in last year’s SG-CORESIT-ins. The Community Relations Com¬mittee has been cooperating with UCCORE in its various projects in this area,such as setting up a grievance committeeto channel racial discrimination complaintsto the university. Most recently, the com¬mittee has been working with CORE onan exciting new attempt to establish openoccupancy and fair housing in the HydePark area. The results of this campaignwill be made public soon.The “recall” is a vital part of the ma¬te outinued on pace *>Swimmers swamp Nl Prizes for original worksby Joe KousserCoach Moyle’s aquatic Ma¬roons got back into winningstride last Friday afternoon,in Bartlett Pool, as they de¬cisively defeated Northern IllinoisUniversity in a dual meet, 57 to 37.The highlight of the meet, besidesthe fine victory, was the superbperformance of Co-Captain TerryPlatt, who set a new Bartlett poolrecord when he swam the 200 yardfree style in the excellent time of2:05:8.In the final event of the meet,the Maroon mermen, then leadingthe visitors by a score of 50 to 37,made certain of a win by swim¬ming the 440 Yard Free Style Re¬lay in the fast time of 3:52:3.This meet saw a complete re¬versal of form from that againstNorthwestern University, as UCwon 7 out of 11 events.A glaring weakness still hauntsI Culture CalendarCabaretsSecond City “The London Show,” areview of the old favorite sketches doneby the playere on their recent trip toEngland.

In manyways it is the purest democratic instru¬ment available to the people. It is im¬portant and must not be abused! To useit as an instrument of revenge or to useit to recall representatives on the basis ofone issue out of many issues is to set a dan¬gerous precedent.ROBERT WORKOFF1. I don’t agree with that statement. Theonly commitment I have as a delegate tothe assembly is to the POLIT platform. Ifeel that I am only responsible to the peo¬ple who elected me. for these people votedfor the principles on which I agreed torun. I don’t think that any further com¬mitment is necessary.2. I think the only issues which thiscampus would find it necessary to labelas controversial are those which are con¬cerned with off-campus affairs. For ex¬ample. any resolutions which we havetaken in the student government assemblyon Cuba and, generally, statements madeabout “extra-campus” affairs have alwaysbeen designated controversial. In short, ifthere is an opposition, and it wants to cor¬rect an injustice, it can use the label“controversial” as a means of limitingone’s freedom to act. That is what wasdone on this campus and for that reasonI defined the term thusly.3. My vote on the Cuba resolution wasbased on a moral standpoint. I would re¬peat my vote if presented with an identi¬cal situation.4. My commitment is to the points in theplatform, to the POLIT philosophy, and tomy conscience. By acting in this mannerI feel I can best represent those who putme in office.5. First and foremost the student govern¬ment should be a sounding board for stu¬dent opinion, as the students act as citizens,not just as students on this camnus. I thinkthat the statement which POLIT borrowedfrom Robert Maynard Hutchins — “a freeuniversity in a free society”—adequatelydescribes this view.LEONARD FRIEDMAN1. I support the POLIT statement. I ambound by caucus decisions in all Stu¬dent Government actions unless mysupport is publicly reserved. I ambound by the statement in futureaction.2. A controversial issue is one which is concerned with partisan politics. Be¬sides this, a definition can’t be givento cover all future issues. Particularissues must be considered. I considerthe following examples of controversialissues: Cuba. Medicare, tax reform,UN operations in the Congo.3. My vote on the Cuban resolution is ex¬plained by the statement published inthe Maroon following the ExecutiveCouncil meeting.4. My responsibility to my constituentsin the College is to state clearly inrunning, my intentions as a representa¬tive of interests. Where possible, anattempt should be made to gather stu¬dent opinion. If not possible, my re¬sponsibility is to refrain from un¬popular action in the future. The mosteffective means of representing stu¬dent opinion is by means of a politicalparty. I am bound as a representativeby the decisions of POLIT caucuses asfar as interpretation and implementa¬tion of platforms on which they run.5. Any short answer to this question is anovex-simplification or a tautology.6. Contributions to Student Government:co-manager of Co-op bookstore, workon open occupancy petition, work onwomen’s hours petition, opposition tonew disclaimer affidavit in NDEA.7. The questions don’t point out the realissue. It is apparent, even to those whoview POLIT as the ultimate in Machia¬vellian operations, that POLIT took asimiliar stand between now and thespring elections, so as not to fulfill thelabel. If you feel that Student Govern¬ment hasn’t run the Co-Op well or ifyou don’t support their stand on openoccupancy petitions to press HydePark apartment owners to integrate,on supporting southern students intheir fight on racial discrimination, oron supporting the abolition of HUAC asthese will be issues in the next month,then favor the recall.POLIT STATEMENTPOLIT, as a liberal student politicalparty, believes that it is the responsibilityof each student to inform himself and hisfellow students of the political issues con¬fronting society, and to commit himself topositions on these issues. As a politicalparty. POLIT acts in support of the posi¬tions which students within it have taken.POLIT believes that it is essential thatelected representatives of a student bodyencourage students to realize fully theirpolitical capacities and responsibilities as members of a society. POLIT believesthat elected SG officials thus must takethe initiative and create a SG which iswilling to take stands-on fundamental issuesfacing our society today.POLIT SG officials, however, have re¬sponsibilities as directly elected represen¬tatives of the student body on controversialpolitical problems, in order to prevent mis¬representation of student opinion. Further¬more, POLIT is aware of the difficultiesinvolved in surveying student opinion asa prerequisite for SG action. Therefore, aPOLIT majority in SG will not take standson future issues of such a controversial,political nature as the Cuban crisis of Oc¬tober. 1962, unless it is possible beforehandto ascertain what student opinion on theissue is. POLIT will, however, continue torun on platforms which commit itself toaction on problems of segregation, of viola¬tions of academic freedom, and opnressionof the rights of students obroad. using suchmeans as support of the Union of SouthAfrica Defense Fund.POLIT continues to believe that themajor portion of SG programs should bedevoted to problems facing the campus.Thus POLIT will continue to support suchactivities as the co-on bookstore and in¬creased student-facultv cooperation, whilemaintaining its oonosition to the residencerenuirement and women’s hours. POLITwill continue to attemnt to provide effec¬tive representation of student oninion tothe administration through such efforts asthe upcoming referendum on the Staggschol arshins.POLIT believes that for the student bodyto expect its renresentatives to be morefully aware of the political tone of thestudents, it must attemnt to make greateruse of the free, open discussion and de¬cision-making processes of the POT,ITcaucus. It is in the POLTT caucus thateach student may directly determinePOLIT poliev. More extensive use of thecaucus by the campus can remove anyexisting barrier of communications betweenPOLIT leaders and the student body. Itcan facilitate the achievement of an ex¬tensive group of students dedicated to con¬fronting actively the significant problemsof our time.UP STATEMENTWHEREAS, the University Party has al¬ways stood for a responsible Student Gov¬ernment which would act on behalf of theUniversity student body, rn'ber than inspite of it; and WHEREAS, the University Party be¬lieves that the proper and primary func¬tion of SG is to speak and act only onissues which affect students in their role asstudents; andWHEREAS, twelve members of POLITand their satellite have flagrantly violatedboth of these principals in the recent seriesof extreme and ill-considered votes on theCuban crisis; andWHEREAS, the apparent recantation ofthat group represents only a tactical re¬treat, since it neither calls for a reconsid¬eration of the original SG stand, nor em¬bodies adequate concrete institutionalizedprocedures for ascertaining accurate andrepresentative student opinion on all off-campus stands;THE UNIVERSITY PARTY urges theimmediate recall of the offending membersof SG in the recall referendum of January23, 24, and 25.Subscribe Nowat Half Price *BOSTONLOS ANGELESLONDONCHICAGO• ObjectiveNews Reports• ConstructiveBackground Material• Literary andEntertainment News• PenetratingEditorialsClip this odvartitamant and re¬turn it with your check or moneyerder to:The Christian Science MonitorOn# Norway St., Boston 15, Mass.□ 1 Year $11 □ 6 mo*. $5.50*Thia special offer available tocollege students.

As Whitehead and othershave pointed out the existence ofa “provincialism in time” in addi¬tion to the oft-ridiculed provin¬cialism of place and circumstance.That the provincialism often goesunrecognized marks its danger forclear, hard thinking.The mentality that is stronglyaffected by this attitude defies theaffected by this attitude defines the with the triumphs of modern sci-highest point in the moral and in- enee.This attitude elevates the pre¬sent knowledge of a victorioustechnological science to the stateof absolute truth and rejects with¬out further examination any know¬ledge that is not “empirical” andbased on premises and methodswhich are “unscientific.”Metaphysics, as a non-empiricaland therefore intellectually de¬plorable pseudo-science, finds itsrightful place in the cobwebs ofseventeenth-century closets. Itsstepmother, theology, appears evenmore ludicrous when comparedtellectual progress of the humanmmmmmd i The proper activity of celebateascetics tucked away in cloisters,its typical investigations are dis¬quisitions on the inscrutabilities ofthe trinity and “rational” determi¬nations of the number of angelsv possibly standing on the head ofa pin. The relevancy of this disci¬pline for the modern age is, there¬fore, unquestionable: like faith¬healing and alchemy, it is an un¬fortunate precipitate of an ear¬lier more primitive and unsophisti¬cated time.That theologian Tillich doessomehow' not fit this image is ob¬vious to anyone familiar with hiswork on theology, philosophy andculture, A man who has writtendefinitively in several religioustraditions and in the whole socialand intellectual histoiy of theWest, it is difficult to get anysense of the extent of his contri¬bution from two short articles.Born in Germany, Tillich heldchairs in philosophy, theology andthe social sciences. When National Socialism assumed control of thestale, he emigrated to the UnitedStates in 1933, and for twenty-two years held the chair of philo¬sophic theology at Union Semin¬ary, New' York.In 1956 he became universityprofessor at Harvard, and is nowthe John Nuveen professor oftheology at UC’s Divinity School.At present he is giving lecturesat the law School auditorium,which will form the basis for histhird volume on systematic theo¬logy.In the Preface to the essays inThe Protestant Era, Tillich re¬counts his experience with reli¬gious socialism in pre-Nazi Ger¬many.“In all history a continuousfight is going on between divineand demonic structures. The feel¬ing of living in the center of sucha fight was the basic impulse ofreligious socialism, expi'essing it¬self in a religious and essentiallyProtestant interpretation of his¬tory.“A ‘religious’ socialism is thatwhich is aware of its own religiousfoundations and the basic ideasof prophetism. It consequentlycombines its ideas and its practicewith religious and ethical prob¬lems . . . that was our idea. Weunderstood socialism not as aproblem of w'ages, but of a newage in which the question of wagesand of social security is treated inunity with the question of truthand of spiritual unity.”For Tillich the most importanttheoretical work done by religioussocialism w?as the creation of a‘religious’ interpretation of his¬tory, and within the specifically‘religious’ interpretation, the con¬ception of the demonic in man’snature and history was central.“My definition of the demonicis the elevation of something fi¬nite to infinite validity, or better,to an infinite claim: claim to di¬ vinity. We had this experience, ofcourse, with German Nazism. Wehave it now in Russian Com¬munism, and we have it also attimes with the so-called ‘Americanways of life’ which can also be¬come demonic if they are madeinto the absolute.“Therefore everything finite,churches also, can become de¬monic if they consider everythingthat they are and do as absolutelytrue and right. Personalities also,high moral standing, ‘puritan’types of personalities can becomedemonic when they are identifiedwith God. Of course they wouldn’tsay that, but in fact this is whatthey do, for they are making theirown judgments unquestionable. berg pointed out, however, thatthis idea would have to be acceptedby the staff, and that it was onlyone of several suggested by thecommittee.“This system w'ould permit stu¬dents to be differentiated accordingto their ability and interests, al¬though the committee feels thatall courses should be appropriateto the biology major and to thenon-major alike,” he said.“Placement examinations wouldbe given as diagnostic instrumentsto determine which of the se¬quences the student is best suitedto folow,” Ginsberg said.Award to Metcalffor cultural servicesThe German federal govern¬ment has awarded an orderof merit, the Verdienstkreuz“There are also demonic traits Erster Klasse, to Professor ofin our interpersonal life.
