First, you canmarry money. (I don’t mean you marry the money itself; Imean you marry a person who has money. Weddings betweenpeople and currency have not been legal anywhere in the UnitedStates since the Smoot-Hawley Act. Marlboro Cigarettes, onthe other hand, are legal everywhere and are, indeed, smokedwith great pleasure and enthusiasm in all fifty states of theUnion. I bring up Marlboro Cigarettes because this column issi>onsorcd by the makers of Marlboro, and they arc inclined tobrood if I omit to mention their product.)But I digress. I was saying you can marry money but, ofcourse, you will not because you arc a high-minded, clean-living, pure-hearted, freckle-faced American kid. Therefore, tokeep from flunking, you must try the second method: you mustlearn how to take lecture notes.According to a recent survey, 123.6% of American under¬graduates do not know the proper way to take lecture notes. Toillustrate this shocking statistic, let us suppose you are takinga course in history. Let us further suppose the lecturer is lec¬turing on the ruling houses of England. You listen intently. Youwrite diligently in your notebook, making a topic outline as youhave been taught. Like this:I. House of Plantagenet.II. House of Lancaster.TIL House of York.Then you stop. You put aside your pen. You blink back atear, for you cannot go on. Oh, yes, you know very well that thenext ruling house is the House of Tudor. The trouble is youtlon’l know7 the Roman numeral that comes after III.(It may, incidentally, he of some historical interest to pointout that Americans are not the only people who don’t knowRoman numerals. The Romans didn’t know them themselves.1 suppose they could tell you how much V or X were or likethat, but when it came to real cuties like LXI or MMC, theyjust flang away their styluses and went downtown to have abath and take in a circus and maybe stab Caesar a few times.(You may wonder why Rome stuck with these ridiculousnumerals when the Arabs had such a nice, simple system. Wellsir, the fact is that the Emperor Vespasian tried like crazy tobuy the Arabic numerals from Suleiman the Magnificent, butSuleiman wouldn’t do business—not even when Vespasianraised his bid to 100,0(X) gold piastres, plus he offered to throwin the Colosseum, the Appian Way, and Charlton Heston.(So Rome stuck with Roman numerals—to its sorrow, as itturned out. One day in the Forum, Cicero and Pliny got toarguing about how much is COL times MVIX. Well sir, prettysoon everyone in town came around to join the hassle. In allthe excitement, nobody remembered to lock the north gate and—wham!—before you could say pecca fortiter, in rushed theGoths, the Visigoths, and the Green Bay Packers!)Well sir, that’s the way the empire crumbles, and I digress,l-et’s get back to lecture notes. let’s also say a word aboutMarlboro Cigarettes.

And isit not fitting that we should please these honest tobacconists—these fine men, fond of square dancing, water sports, protein,and tattoos—these tireless perfectionists who spend all of theirdays trying to please us—searching everywhere for the best ofall possible tobaccos, aging them with patience, blending themwith tender, loving care?

Letters to the editorOpen occupancy wrongFor Hyde Park nowTO THE EDITOR:UC CORE has adopted a legiti¬mate moral position that all formsof racial discrimination are in¬tolerable, whether prejudicial orbenign. They also argue that theirpolicy will result in the same goalespoused by the University, “astable interracial community.”There is good reason to doubt,however, that complete open oc¬cupancy in Hyde Park is com¬patible with such a goal.Between 1950 and 1960 in Chi¬cago the nonwhite population in¬creased by 330.000. while the-whitepopulation declined by 400,000.There is no need to assume thatracial considerations were an im¬portant factor in the decline ofthe white population—every largecity in the U.S. and many largecities throughout the world arelosing substantial numbers of theirmore well-to-do citizens to sur¬rounding suburbs. In Chicago, how¬ever. the declining w'hite marketfor homes is accompanied by asituation in which many Negroesare unable to secure housing out¬side of circumscribed Negro areas.These Negro areas have expandedduring the last 40 years by a pro¬cess of absorption of peripheralareas into the all-Negro areas.Hyde Park is now surrounded byall-Negro areas, and portions ofHyde Park are already all-Negro.Housing opportunities for Negroesremain restricted throughout muchof Chicago and virtually all of thesuburban areas.If all, or a substantial ix>rtion,of the remaining white-occupiedhousing in Hyde Park were madeavailable on an open occupancybasis, this would add to the supplyof housing available to satisfy thestrong demand among the Negropopulation for additional housing.Whites, on the other hand, havemany housing alternatives open tothem, and demand for the olderhousing in this area is not strong.Thus, open occupancy in HydePark would result in a supply anddemand structure such that manyNegroes would be competing withfew whites for vacancies.There is a rapid rate of turnoverin rental housing. Through thenormal operation of supply anddemand, open occupancy in HydePark would result rather quicklyin a predominantly Negro area.This would happen regardless ofmaintenance of property, schools,and neighborhood quality, and re¬gardless of the presence or ab¬sence of prejudice and misinforma¬tion about race and housing values.The same process might be ex¬pected, but' with less rapidity,among the owner-occupied housingin southern Kenwood and in the‘‘white island” between the Uni¬versity and the IC. There mightcontinue to be a moderate demandfor housing near the University bystudents, faculty, and employees,and the question of their impacton the eventual racial compositionof the area is problematic.

'The central concept of Bettle-heim’s book, “The InformedHeart,” is that in extreme cir¬cumstances individuals, becausethey are reacting on the basis olprevious circumstances in whichsuch reactions did actually facili¬tate their survival, will adopt de¬fense mechanisms which can haveserious negative survival value.Therefore. Bettleheim proposes theconcept of the “informed heart,”that is, of the individual who, be¬cause he is cognizant of such pat¬terns of behavior in himself, canattempt to overcome their nega¬tive effect.The crux of the difficulty lies inthe relationship between thosepsychological defense mechanismswhich Bettleheim describes and thenature of Jewish culture as he andothers conceive it. Several cogentquestions might be raised: Werethose particular defense mechan¬isms peculiar to the Jews? Whatis the relationship between cultureand psychological defense mechan¬isms? In his interpretation of theFrank case, Bettleheim arguesthat the Franks’ survival potentialwas seriously reduced when theyretreated into the securities of thepast because the insecurities ofthe present were too overwhelm¬ing. Such retreat is a psychologicaldefense mechanism. What, if any,is the relationship between theirretreat and their Jewish culturein this particular situation? Hereis the ground upon which a seriousdiscussion of the "Jewish ques¬tion” and Bettleheim’s conceptionof it can begin. It may be thatBettleheim has serious misconcep¬tions about certain aspects of the“Jewish question.” No serious dis¬cussion can take place, however,if we engage in endless defensearguments, cry “slander” and“nonsense,” and refuse to meethim on his own ground. If one construes Bettleheim’sideas as an unjust attack on cer¬tain cultural patterns and predis¬positions of Jews as exemplifiedby the phrase “ghetto philosophy,”at least do not divorce the discus¬sion from the context of his leg¬itimate concerns as a psvchologistMARILYN BLUMFELDSTUDENT, GRADUATELIBRARY SCHOOL;EMPLOYEECLASSICS LIBRARYWeed attack is follyUS needs tobaccoTO THE EDITOR:We are a capitalist countrybased on steel, wheat, tobacco andguns, not necessarily in that or¬der.

It is hoped thatthis problem will be solved in anunarbitrary manner with due re¬gard to the sentiments of thevoters and to the constitution andby-laws of Student Government.But, assuming that this diffi¬culty can be surmounted, whatmethod of selection should be em¬ployed in filling the vacancies?With all due respect to the in¬genious schemes already sub¬mitted, it is suggested that a fairprocedure would be, first, to in¬vite applications from all studentsinterested in working in StudentGovernment and then, to selectthe twelve most qualified — with¬out regard to “party lines.” IIthis is impractical, then a com¬promise should be adopted suchas: three POLIT, three UP, andsix independents.

The march was led by alittle boy waving an Americanflag proudly before him. Theonly difficulty encountered dur¬ing the march, says Sorkin, was“a bunch of rowdies . . . well,actually we think they were anAmerican Legion group” thattried to break up the proceedingsby offering the kids bribes ofcandy to go away. The littlemarchers took the candy and con¬tinued marching.One of the high points of the“Save Rose” campaign was a re¬cent airdrop of Bimler buttonsand “fact sheets.” Sorkin, an ex¬perienced pilot, flew to Bob New-hart’s wedding in Los Angeles,and dropped 5000 buttons and5000 fact sheets en route.

Of the 32 US work-camp groups, we are one of onlyfive non-denominational ones.”Started in 1920, by a SwissQuaker, SCI’s first workcamp washeld near Verdun. France. Ger¬mans and French cooperated inprojects to repair and rebuild wardamaged homes. As SCI’s state¬ment of purpose outlines, “ourgoal is nothing less than to makewars impossible; the method isthrough sharing constructive man¬ual work to help others who arein need.”“SCI is a much stronger groupin Europe than in the US. Lastyear we had over 2.000 applicantsfor British workcamps. There arebranches in most European coun¬tries and services involve a widerange of work,” Mrs. Gaeblersaid.“Workcamping involves twoideas—the work itself, and gettingpeople together. Some workcampgroups involve letting the middleclass see how the other half lives.In IVS we are more interested inbuilding up experienced work-campers who will come back againand again.“European workcampers areoften older people who participateduring their vacations. In the USmost workcamp volunteers arearound twenty years old.”This summer workcamps will beheld in France. Germany, GreatBritain. Switzerland, and severalother countries. East-West work¬camps will be held in Poland andRussia.“Workcamp activity is organ¬ized through contacts in the areas.For instance, a workcamp will beheld in Fayette County, Tennesseeover spring vacation to help con¬struct a community center. Thiswas set up through the request andcooperation of Negro communitygroups in that area.“Workcampers work in coopera¬tion with local workers, under thesupervision of an SCI person. Thecommunity or group which theworkcampers are helping providesthe materials and also arrangesfor food and board for the camp¬ers.“In all cases, the workcamperprovides his own transportation tothe workcamp and is provided foronce he is there. Usually all thecampers are housed in a centralplace.“Volunteers must have a willing¬ness and ability for physical labor.Special skills are useful, but notpre-requisite. Foreign languageskills are not required either, butwill make the camper's summerHillel starts magazineHillel Foundation has an¬nounced that the first issue ofFootnote, a student - faculty-review, will appear early inFebruary.Footnote will contain essays,jioetry, short stories, critiques,analyses and dialogues on topicsof interest to the Jewish com¬munity.

One used volunteers from ateenage gang, the Junior Nobles.Another, in Indianapolis, was aself-help housing project for Negrofamilies. These families prefabri¬cated there homes in the eveningsafter their regular jobs and putthem in a neighborhood that hasbeen reclaimed from slums anddumps.
