And if SG should gooff campus, what criteria shouldbe established for determiningwhich issues are to be dealt with?The GNOSIS platform, on whichmost of you were elected lastspring, offers a “solution” to theproblem which, in our opinion,would impose unreasonable limi¬tations on the range of SG activity.GNOSIS pledged to concern it¬self primarily with on-campus is¬sues. The SG Assembly, accord¬ing to the GNOSIS platform,“must debate such matters perti¬nent to the functions of the NSAcommittee” but it “should not de¬bate national or international is¬sues outside this constitutionallimit.”The “students as students” plankin last year’s platform representeda rather strong reaction to lastyear’s uproar over Cuba. If it canbe said that last year’s govern¬ment “went too far” on Cuba, itis certainly true that this year’s government runs the risk of sti¬fling the expression of studentopinion on relevant issues in orderto remain non-controversial.You must fight all tendenciesto “overreact” to Cuba, attemptsto avoid controversy simply be¬cause it is controversy. You mustrealize that the scope of a stu¬dent’s interests should extend be¬yond the campus and consequent¬ly the student government shouldnot confine its attention to the im¬mediate community.The state of affairs today is thatthe “students as students” clausehas been widely ignored by theGNOSIS constituency. To publiclymaintain that this distinction isclearly understood and that allparty members adhere to it is tobelittle the intelligence of our stu¬dent body.The doctrine, or what’s left ofit, must be abandoned entirely,and SG must join the student bodyin discussing and attempting tofind solutions to national and inter¬national problems. Pres. Congdon clarifiesdecision of ExecutiveTO THE EDITOR:I would like to clarify the posi¬tion of the Executive Committeeof Student Government with re¬spect to the NSA Committee reso¬lution on Chicago School superin¬tendent Willis.At our meeting of 21 October, theExec had a discussion about thesubstance of the NSA resolutionasking for Willis’ resignation, aboutwhether the Student Governmentshould take a position on this issue,and about whether it was appropri¬ate at that time for the Exec totake a position on behalf of theAssembly.We agreed that this particularissue, involving both education andour immediate social environment,is without question one which theStudent Government should debateand on which it should take aforceful position.We also agreed that as individu¬als we could defend the substanceof the resolution—support for theFreedom Day and advocacy ofWillis’ removal—and that it should,and probably would, receive thebacking of both the Student Gov¬ernment Assembly and the Student1316 t. 53M ST.HAM TO 10 PMM13-34 07tv vVitS ^ DtKJKJtRSlWE 6EUVEE.

Indeed, several ofus followed this recommendationwith personal participation in thedemonstration downtown at theBoard of Education on Tuesday.What we could not and did notagree to do was to act in the nameof the Student Body without priorconsultation and debate in theAssembly. We doubt that an addi¬tional wait of several days for aresolution from the Student Gov¬ernment will so disturb the timingof events as to make a criticaldifference in the ultimate dfijjiiseof Benjamin Willis.However, we do believe that aconsistent pattern of reflectiveaction by the full Assembly doesmake a critical difference in thesuccess of responsible student par¬ticipation in University and com¬munity affairs. We are trying toeradicate an unfortunate prece¬dent of swift and ill-consideredaction by unchecked “executive”body.

This segregation is sup¬ported by the ethnic and racialpolitics practiced by elected offi¬cials through the patronage system,he said.Despres spoke Sunday at UC’sCalvert Club on the political as¬pects of race relations in Chicago.Hi is was the first of a series offour lectures on urban racial prob¬lems to be presented by the club.The reaction of the Democraticpolitical machine to the demandsof freedom and equality by theNegroes is to give as little as pos¬sible. Despres stated. In 1956 theNAACT. active in civil rights, wasinfiltrated by the political machineof Congressman William Dawsonand has been since then kept quiet.In 1931, he added, the ChicagoCommunity Fund pressured theUrban League to end its civilrights activities. “The Republicansin Cook County,” Despres charged,“decided to turn their back com¬pletely on the Negro vote. Theydecided to capitalize on the anti- Negro vote.”Despres discussed developmentsin the racial situation in the Hydepark-Kenwood area during the past15 years.Up to 1949, he stated, UC’s realestate office played an importantrole in bringing about restrictivecovenants which segregated hous¬ing in this area. That year, how¬ever, the covenants were declaredillegal by the Supreme Court.In 1949 the Hyde Park-KenwoodCommunity Conference was estab¬lished by religious and civicleaders to promote stable inter¬racial living. UC’s real estateoffice, he said, was hostile to theConference.In J952, however, the Universitydid an about-ftice in their policiesand since then has begun to acceptthe idea of integration.Despres mentioned the article ofEleanor Richey in a recent issueof the Saturday Review whichcriticized segregation practices ofcertain real estate firms in thearea. He agreed that there is acertain portion of the communitywhibh is still concerned with pro¬moting segregation. Nevertheless,he emphasized that Hyde Park-Kenwood is the best local exampleShanta Rao to danceShanta Rao, a leading fig¬ure in the artistic renaissanceof India, will perform atMandel Hall at 8:30 Fridayevening.The company of dancers andmusicians is on a tour of Israel,Europe and North America.One of the dances to be per¬formed, the Bhama Sutrum, is along-lost ritual dance. It originatedas a secret rite of an ancientHindu sect. Throughout history theBhama Sutrum was carefullyguarded as part of the sect’s mys¬teries. It was only recently thatShanta Rao revived it.Although urged to hold the firstperformance of Bhama Sutrum inher native land, Shanta Rao per¬formed it first on her current tour.Shanla Rao is celebrated for hermastery of many Indian danceforms. This Is quite unusual forthose of her profession who tradi¬tionally study one particular danceUnder- a single master in a life¬ time. At Mandel Hall she willdance the Bharata Natyam, thebasis of all classical forms of In¬dian dance and drama, and MohiniAttam.Under British rule of India, theclassical dance tradition disap¬peared. Devout Hindus had abolishedthe hereditary caste of dancerswhen their performances deterior¬ated into suggestive posturings andthe dancers themselves into prosti¬tutes. Shanta Rao was one of theleaders of the renaissance move¬ment when India achieved itsindependence. of stable interracial living.Despres thinks the South Campusplan might be in danger. TheMayor’s committee, on which TheWoodlawn Organization has amajority, was appointed only twoweeks ago, and has not had enoughtime to review the plan coming uipbefore the city council this week.He explained that the committeemight not approve of some of theaspects of the plan.During the question periodDespres admitted his hesitancyabout taking a public stand on theschool boycott. He thought, how¬ever, the boycott was necessary toexpress the acute discontent of thepeople involved.“The boycott is bound tb have along run effect although theinitial effect was to harden theposition of the school board,” hesaid. Concerning the policies ofSchool Superintendent Willis, headded, “Willis .. . certainly doesn’tbelieve in integration.”Despres made an analogy be¬tween the school boycott and oneof the plagues visited on thePharaoh in Biblical times. “Tenplagues were necessary,” he ex¬plained, “to persuade the pharoahto let Moses and his people go.”VAN’SBOOKSTORE(from the old Art Colony!1544 E. 53rdHY 3-5787Large Collection ofFine Used BooksIn All FieldsQuality Paperbacks1/3 off — ExchangeOPEN 11:00—10:00 Frank Wilkinson of the NationalCommittee to Abolish fehe HouseUn-American Aetivties Committee,is scheduled to discuss the HouseCommittee today at 3 pm in Cobb101.

OCT. .TO, 10:T0IDA NOYESOct. 29. 1963 • CHICAGO MAROON • 3Educators discuss problems of general educationr Two-hundred-and-seventy-five college educators gatheredon campus last week to discuss problems in general educationand liberal arts.They represented more than 35 of the 100 institutionswhich are members of the Association for General and Liberal Studies.The second annual conference of the association was held at the Centerfor Continuing Education on Friday and Saturday.The association was formed in 1961, when some colleges anduniversities which have programsof general education joined inform¬ally to sponsor a national confer¬ence on that subject. The first con¬ference was held at MichiganState University.The association has four majorobjectives: to promote better gen¬eral education programs by dis¬cussion of common problems; topromote the study of subjectsneeded by all educated men; toprepare teachers for general andliberal studies, and to serve as aforum for teachers in the severalareas.Discuss general ed.problems of teachingAaron Sayvetz, chairman of the.Alfred University department ofphysics discussed the problems in¬volved in teaching interdisciplinarystudies with Woodburn Ross, deanof Monteith College, and Jay C.Williams, professor of politicalscience at Stony Brook.Ross stated that the purpose ofgeneral education is to acquaintthe student with the main con¬cepts of a given field of humanactivity. Ross said the first yearsof college should be like the Ger¬man gymnasium. “We must ac¬quaint the student with the mainconcepts of man’s achievement.Only after this can a person studya single field in depth and becomeboth an educated and specializedman,” he explained.Ross stated that since man pos¬sesses much knowledge, no one is able to learn it all. This producesthe need for education in the gen¬eral studies.Williams countered by suggest¬ing that meaningful education bebegun earlier than the collegelevel. He said that if this weredone, the interdisciplinary studiescould go much deeper in examina¬tion of the subject matter. Theteaching of languages and otherbasic studies should begin in highschool to permit the teaching ofmore important subjects, headded.Williams' concept of a desir¬able course in the soeial sciencescovers political and economic phi¬losophy, and elements of psychol¬ogy and sociology. This cor¬responds closely with general edu¬cation in this field at UC.Williams concluded that generaleducation in social science is de¬signed to acquaint students withpatterns of events in society. Theseinclude topics like delinquence,integration, and the institution ofthe college itself. The goal of sucheducation is the student who hasa mastery of such patterns andevents.Sayvetz indicated the naturalsciences particularly lend them¬selves to interdisciplinary treat¬ment. He said the advances inscience today are taking placewhere specializations meet. Theycome with increasing frequencyin fields like bio-chemistry, mole¬cular biology and bio-physics.

McCoy, associatedirector of the Danforth Foundationof St. Louis, spoke Saturday on“The College Curriculum and theCampus Climate.”“Non-intellectual” factors can in¬fluence the choice of colleges ofprospective students, he said. Hegave as an example of the im¬portance of extra-curricular activi¬ties on campus character the re¬cent debate at UC over the limitedreturn of intercollegiate football.A sense of identification with theuniversity should arise out of afeeling of “community” of stu¬dents, faculty, and administrators,McCoy said. To help achieve this,he said, there must be active dis¬cussion on academic matters.The approach to general educa¬tion must be actively debated,not just the formal framework ofthe curriculum, he said. The na¬ture of man and reality should bediscussed to determine what theeducation should set as its goal.Members of the faculty mustargue the question among them¬selves, and draw students into thefray. This will result in a sense ofintellectual excitement, McCoystated.Questions which could generatefruitful and useful discussion mightinclude what place fine arts andthe study of religions should havein the curriculum.The better colleges combine re¬search with teaching, he said.There should be room for thescholar who doesn’t publish, how¬ever. "In every faeulty, you findsome of the most brilliant teacherswho don’t publish,” McCoy said,.On the other hand, the campuscannot exist as a community with¬out researchers who don’t teach,McCoy said. Such scholars mustsometimes “emerge from theirlaboratories,” he said, if only to communicate their findings to theoutside world.On the “aware” campus, McCoycontinued, “intellectual activitypervades the entire environment,not just in the classroom. Thereis frequent, active contact betweenthe faculty and students.”Another good indication of a goodcollege is the existence of “a stu¬dent newspaper and literary maga¬zine with discussions of issues bystudents, faculty and administra¬tion. Such publications should notjust reflect prevalent attitudes, butshould actively create.”Every college can bring studentsin contact with slums, hospitals,laboratories, and other placeswhere knowledge must be trans¬lated into action, McCoy said.Finally, in a healthy university,faculty and administration mem¬bers “like each other and like thestudents with an unconditionalpositive regard,” McCoy said.Teachers are interested in students,not to make disciples out of them,and without role-playing, but sim¬ply to pass on knowledge.Must continue toevaluate programsFaculty wisdom is not a replace¬ment for the scientific evaluationof college programs, according toJohn Holland of the AmericanCollege Testing Service,Yet, he continued, only a smallnumber of colleges are involved inevaluation, although many collegesoffer general and liberal educationprograms.Holland, vice-president in chargeof the testing service's research,stated that evaluation should be arationed rather than a randomprocess. “The colleges must learnwhether their general educationprograms are achieving their statedgoals. The schools must make ad¬justments if ends are not beingmet.”Holland emphasized that the sci¬entific evaluation is a complex,difficult, and expensive problem.“It demands the cooperation offaculty, administrators, and edu¬cational researchers, too many ofwhom are not interested,’’ he said.“Perhaps the greatest problemamong educators is their fear of failure in the area of scientificfailure. But it is necessary that wechange the training of the re¬searcher, that we inculcate the im¬portance of human problems.”An explicit statement of the goalsof the college program must be *part of any evaluation system, Hol¬land said. “We must know whatgoals are the most relevant, sincesurely all are not attained. And wemust know whether most of thefaculty ascribe to these goals.“In addition, a careful review ofthe daily effect of particularcourses should be noted. In thepast,” Holland continued, “we havefailed to devise courses whichstress the student’s imagination inaddition to his critical facilities.”College Board menspeak on testingTwo officials of the EducationTesting Service (ETS) discussedTesting Programs of Special In¬terest in the Area of General edu¬cation at a session Saturday Morn¬ing.John R. Valley, program direc- .for of the College Board Programdivision of ETS spoke on the Ad¬vanced Placement Program. Ger¬ald Lanholm, director of the Grad¬uate Records examinations of theETS, discussed the Graduate Rec¬ord Examinations.One problem to be considered »in relation to the Advanced Place¬ment program arises when stu¬dents elect to take — or highschools to teach — onlythose courses in which studentscan gain advance placement. Thisproblem is currently being studied,said Valley.Another problem is that collegesottering interdisciplinary coursescould be discouraged from doingso because it is harder to placestudents in this type course.Lannholm stated that any effectthe Graduate Records examina¬tions have on course content isa result of the “inappropriate useof the tests, from an ill conceivedconcept of the role of tests, or, insome cases, from such heavy pres¬sure from the administration thathigh scores on the tests come tobe considered as the total evidenceconcerning the outcomes of in¬struction.”JOHN DINOU'SSURF Ml 3-4900& SURREYRESTAURANT — COCKTAIL LOUNGE — COFFEE SHOP — OPEN 24 HOURS5000 S.

Caswell, instructor inthe division of General Arts in theGeneral College of the Universityof Minnesota, spoke at a forum onthe principles of general studies inthe humanities.He outlined the four common ap¬proaches to humanities. The mostcommon ones, he said, are the"historical” approach and the"Great Books” technique.The first attempts to put worksof art in their historical setting,regarding them as reflections oftheir ages. The scope of such acourse must be limited to only afew eras, Caswell said, and thematerial is usually restricted toliterature.Such a course, Caswell observed,loses sight of art per se, and tendsto take a critical approach to theworks, stifling the students’ crea¬tivity.The “Great Books” method con¬centrates on one or two focal ideaswhich have been dealt with inmany cultures and times. Its ma¬terial is mostly literature, with aheavy concentration on philosophy.Caswell said this approach givesthe student contact wilh majorideological forces, but overempha¬sizes diactic literature.Caswell said he personally ad¬vocated the third major approach,which he called the “ars pro arte”concept. It concentrates on the in¬trinsic elements in a work of art,and uses material from all thearts. The criticism often given ofthis method is that it studies theart work “in vacuo,*' with no ref¬erence to the artist and his tame.Caswell then explained the fourthmajor method of teaching in thehumanities, which attempts to letthe student experience works of artby making them. This is the tech¬nique being experimented with atCaswell’s school, Uie University of Minnesota.instruments, “compose” music toStudents make their own musicalfit the “orchestration,” and per¬form it for a tape recording. Thestudents are not required to followany norms, he said, which resultsin a lack of inhibitions.The difficulties with this method,Caswell said, are that students’progress is difficult to evaluate,and that many educators are skep¬tical because it “lacks academicrespectability.”Dunham wants broadsocial science baseDouglas Dunham, chairman oftile Department of Social Sci¬ences of University College atMichigan State University spokeon general education courses insocial science.Dunham, a geographer and his¬torian, viewed general educationon the undergraduate level as acomer stone to graduate work. Aninterdisciplinary course offers achance for such a general educa¬tion.“Fields have become so special¬ized,’’ he said, “that students mayfail to see the forest for the trees.This type of course could offer abroad disciplinary base for furtherspecialization.” or the course couldfill the gaps left by specialization.Dunham said that such a coursecould be viewed in two dimen¬sions. It could be organized aroundthe specific course content to betaught, such as specific issues de¬cided upon by the faculty.The second dimension allows thefaculty an opportunity to bring ingeneral education objectives. Thisdimension constructs the courseon the basis of objectives beingsought as opposed to specificcourse content. It is around thissecond dimension that Dunhamthought courses should be organ¬ized. “However, these organizing prin¬ciples,” he said, “are a reflectionof the historical and practical priorvalue systems of those who areconstructing the course.”The result of these three forceshas produced the American edu¬cational system of today. “Thecondition today has placed a pre¬mium on specialized information.Thus there has been a tendencyto push specialization lower andlower into the undergraduate pro¬gram.” The proliferation of coursesin college catalogues is evidenceof this tendency, Dunham said.Practically, the value system ofthose who construct the interdis¬ciplinary course should be affectedby several factors. First, thecourse should represent a returnto the English liberal arts tradi¬tion so that students can beginto see the “forest” of their edu¬cation experience.Second, such a course shouldnot be a substitute for specializa¬tion in a field. Hiird, from theviewpoint of the teacher the courseis extremely difficult to teachsince there are no definite limitsto the issues that are covered inthe course. Fourth, and last, thecourse must be taught by thosewho like to teach for the sake ofstudents.Natural sciencesnaturally specializedSpecialization in the natural sci¬ences is inevitable because thehuman mind cannot cope with themultitude of knowledge availabletoday without it, said Robert Haun.Haun, who is chairman of thedepartment of physical science atDrake University, spoke on “TheOrganizing Principles of Interdis¬ciplinary Courses in the NaturalSciences.”Despite this need for specializa¬tion, he said, interdisciplinary stu¬dies are not only possible but de¬ sirable. One of the first suchcourses was earth science. Todaythere are many, such as biophysicsetc.There is a strong majority ofopinion he contended, that thereshould be seperate courses for sci¬ence students and non-science stu¬dents. This gives the teacher of ascience course for non-science ma¬jors a great deal of freedom touse an interdisciplinary approachsince he need not prepare his stu¬dents for later courses in the field.There are five approaches uponwhich a course in the natural sci¬ences can be based, stated Haun.They are: 1) The scientific meth¬ods; 2) The history of science; 3) Problem solving; 4) The laboratoryapproach; 5) The use of major con¬cepts.Haun explained that he is noworganizing a general course in thephysical sciences based the majorconcept approach, using matter,energy, space and time as bismajor-concepts.In closing, he said that one of thebest ways of organizing an inter¬disciplinary course is to build )taround the personality and inter*ests of the instructor. And that thekey to the success of any suchcourse consisted of combing inter¬esting day to day facets into «unified whole.IOne of theseven golden keysto brewingBudweiser.BEST BARLEY MALTPremium-priced barley malt—the best money can buy—is oneof the keys to that satisfying Budweiser taste.

Well sir, somesay that in order to be called truly small, a college should havean enrollment of not more than four students.I surely have no quarrel with this statement; a four-studentcollege must unequivocally be called small. Indeed, I wouldeven call it intime if I knew what inlime meant. But I submitthere is such a thing as being too small. Take, for instance, arecent unfortunate event at Crimscott A and M.Crimscott A and M, situated in a pleasant valley nestledbetween Philadelphia and Salt Lake City, was founded by\^d,e^dly, do wmm Vis <UleMtA. and M. Crimscott, two brothers who left Ireland in 1025to escape the potato famine of 1841. As a result of their fore¬sight, the Crimscott brothers never went without potatoes forone single day of their lives—and mighty grateful they were!One night, full of gratitude after a wholesome meal of Frenchfries, cottage fries, hash browns, and au gratin, they decidedto show their appreciation to this bountiful land of potatoesby endowing a college. But their generosity contained onestipulation: the enrollment of the college must never exceedfour students. They felt that only by keeping the school thisemail could each student be assured of the personalized atten¬tion, the camaraderie, the esprit, that is all too often lacking inlarger institutions of higher learning.Well sir, things went along swimmingly until one Saturdaya few years ago. On this day Crimscott had a football gamescheduled against Minnesota, its traditional rival. Football,as you can well imagine, was something of a problem at Crim¬scott, what with only four undergraduates in the entire college.It was easy enough to muster a backfield, but to find a goodline—or even a bad line—baffled some of the most resourcefulcoaching minds in the nation.Well sir, on the morning of the big game against Minnesota,its traditional rival, a capricious fate dealt Crimscott a cruelblow—in fact, four cruel blows. Sigafoos, the quarterback,woke up that morning with an impacted incisor. Wrichards,the slotbaek, flunked his taxidermy exam and was declared in¬eligible. Beerbohm-Tree, the wingback-tailback, got his neck¬tie caught in his espresso machine. Yuld, the fullback, wasBtolen by gypsies.Consequently, none of the Crimscott team showed up at thefootball game, and Minnesota, its traditional rival, was able toscore almost at will. Crimscott was so cross after this humiliatingdefeat that they immediately broke off football relations withMinnesota, its tradtional rival. This later became known aathe Sacco-Vanzetti Case.So you can see how only four students might be too meagrean enrollment. The number that I personally favor is twenty.Why? you ask. Because, I reply, when you have twentystudents and one of them opens a pack of Marlboro Cigarettes,there are enough to go around for everybody, and no one hagto te deprived of Marltero’s flavor, of Marlboro’s filter, ofMarltero’s staunch and steadfast companionship, and as aresult you have a student body that is brimming with sweetcontent and amity and harmony and concord and togethernessand soft pack and Flip-Top box.1 hat’s why,There are twenty fine cigarettes in every pack of Marlboros,tnd there are millions of packs of Marlboros in every one of.\e fifty states of the Union.

The first article, which ap¬peared two weeks ago, treated the his¬tory and the institutional basis for theassociation of the colleges. The con¬cluding segment will discuss thestrengths and weaknesses of the systemand will attempt to relate the Clare¬mont schools to the multiple collegessuggested for the University ofChicago.)by Tom HeagyThe Claremont Colleges area balance of competition andcooperation. Both contributepositively to the workings ofassociation; and the unbalancedgrowth of either would impair theadvantages and distinctiveness ofthe association.Before delving into the problemsof competition and cooperation,however, we must examine the dif¬ferentiating features of the col¬leges, which is, of course the basisof any intra-college workings.Pomona College is by far thelargest. <1100 students) the oldest,and the richest of the five under¬graduate colleges. In its generaleducation requirements and in thecourses it offers, Pomona is simi¬lar to most good liberal arts col¬leges its size. It is the only one of five whichoffers concentrations (majors) inwhole range of the social sciences,the humanities, and the natural(physical and biological) sciences.It does not specialize in any onearea.Pomona is thus distinctive in itslack of distinctness. It is also dis¬tinctive in its independance (be¬cause of its size, and money, bothhalf of the total for the Clare¬mont Colleges, it is the only oneof the five which could conceivablysecede), and the fact that it isthe only really coeducational un¬dergraduate college in the associ¬ation (Harvey Mudd is coeduca¬tional in theory, but in practice isover 90% male).Scripps is an all women’s schoolconcentrative in the humanities,with 325 students. Its general edu¬cation consists mainly of a threeyear sequence which takes up 30%of a student’s class load. The se¬quence consists of humanities anda lesser amount the natural andof social sciences given in a his¬torical context. The rest of thestudent’s program is characterizedby a large number of electives andthe lack of set requirements forconcentration.1. Now that I’m a senior l haveto >tart thinking about myfuture.

I’ve lined up a terrific job.There’s a choice of trainingprograms, good starting salary,c hallenging work, and the chano*to move up. That’s Equitable.I agree — but what’s thecompany’s name? The prime goal of Scripps seemsto be to produce cultured women.It is sometimes described as a“finishing school.’’ In keeping withthis, the dormitory system (inwhich all students are required tolive) is used as part of the educa¬tional apparatus, acting somewhatlike a laboratory in culture andetiquette.Claremont Men’s College beganas a “school of business amd gov¬ernment administration.’’ It liasnow broadened the scope of its con¬centration to include the entirearea of economics and govern¬ment. In addition it now offers ma¬jors in literature, history, philoso¬phy, fine arts, classics, manage¬ment-engineering, and mathemat¬ics.According to its president,George C. S. Benson, ClaremontMen’s College may eventually offermajors in the rest of the socialsciences and the natural sciences.It is important to note that moststudents major in the social sci¬ences and, further, that the gen¬eral education is slanted towardsthe social sciences.Science unit smallestHarvey Mudd with only 250 stu¬dents is the smallest of the under¬graduate colleges. It offers majorsin chemistry, engineering, mathe¬matics and physics. The collegediffers little from the physical sci¬ence department of a mediumsized college plucked up and setout alone. However, like Clare¬mont Men’s College, the generaleducation is slanted towards thearea of concentration, in this casethe physical sciences.The fifth undergrate college.Pitzer College, is so far nonex¬istent. It will open its doors to 100women students in 1964. It will con¬centrate on the behavior sciencesand will probably parallel Clare¬mont Men’s College in its generaleducation program.In addition to differences in em¬phasis (or lack of it) and kind ofenrollment, the colleges differ intheir general education, their size,and virtually every significant as¬pect.Tlie colleges even have differenttypes of students. Pomona and, toa lesser degree, Harvey Mudd stu¬dents are oriented towards aca¬demic careers. Students fromClaremont Men’s College are ori¬ented toward careers in businessand government, and Scripps stu¬dents are not oriented towards anycareers.3 Equitable—it’s Equitable.It certainly is.

Thus Scrippsis less of a finishing school thanit once was and Claremont Men’sless of a vocational school for busi¬nessmen and civil servents. Thetrend of both is towards becominggeneral liberal arts colleges likePomona, although ClaremontMen’s is moving in this directionmuch more than Scripts is.Can swap coursesThe instiutianal aspects of inter¬college cooperation were enumer¬ated in the previous article. Theyinclude joint operation of the li¬brary, the infirmary, security,maintenance, etc. The most im¬portant academic cooperation isthe program by which the studentsin each college are allowed to takeup to half their courses in theother colleges.One of the main handicaps in¬herent in the small college is thatit cannot offer concentrations in asmany subjects as can a larger in¬stitution. This problem is partiallyalleviated at Claremont by use ofintercollege coordinated programs.Pomona, Claremont Men’s andScripps cooperate to produce aconcentration in the classics. Har¬vey Mudd and Pomona alternatein giving some courses in mathe¬matics. Scripps and ClaremontMen’s cooperate in giving a pro¬gram in the fine arts. In addition,the smaller colleges are able toSave money by not giving certaincources by having their studentstake them at Pomona (eg. Russianat Harvey Mudd and music atScripps).'Contact between students of dif¬ferent colleges takes place inclasses, extracurricular activities,and in social activities. HarveyMudd and Clarement Men’s Col¬ lege have a single set of varsityathletic teams, a single dramaticclub, and a single band. Clare¬mont Men’s, Scripps, and HarveyMudd publish a joint paper. Manyof the clubs, such as the YoungDemocrats and Young Republicansare open to students from any ofthe colleges. And, of course, girlsfrom Scripps are dated by menfrom the other colleges.Negative aspectsTlie negative aspects of coopera¬tion are different to pinpoint. Theyrevolve around the problem of re¬ducing the colleges to living unitswithin a “Claremont University.”The more the colleges cooperate,the more dependent they becomeon each other. For example, noneof the colleges could adopt a quar¬ter system because^ most of theirstudents would still lie taking someof their courses on the semestersystem at the other colleges.The most important value ofcompetition is that if prevents tliecolleges from becoming stagnant.A good example is the building ofthe new science buildings at Po¬mona which, according to HarveyMudd’s President, Joseph B. Platt,and others was an attempt to com¬pete better with Harvey Mudd inattracting top science students.An unfortunate aspect of com-petition is the duplication ofcourses which could better betaught by one college alone. Forexample, in order to compete withClaremont Men’s College, Pomonaoffers a course in accountingtaught by an economist so that itsstudents do not have to take acourse under a Certified PublicAccountant at Claremont Men’sCollege.Another aspect of competition isthe trend of Claremont Men’s Col¬lege, in its attempt to competewith Pomona to become more likePomona. Such a trend, if it con¬tinues, would distro.v its reasonfor existing since it would removeits distinctiveness.To discuss tutorial studiesThe Tutorial program in the Col¬lege will be discussed at a student-faculty forum tomorrow night at7:30 pm in Ida Noyes Hall.Russell B. Thomas, secretary ofthe tutorial studies program, andWarner A. Wick, associate Deanof the College, will participate, aswill several professors who havetutored under the program.All students in the program nowor interested in knowing more about it are invited to the meeting,which will be held by tlie TutorialStudies sub-committee of the stu¬dent-faculty Curriculum Commit¬tee.Tutorial studies provide a wayfor a student to follow an individ¬ual course of study. In his fourthyear, he writes a bachelor’s paperunder the guidance of a tutor fromthe faculty. This follows study inhumanities, philosophy, social sci¬ences, and natural sciences.4.

This feeling of failure waspresent in “The Virgin Spring/and now, even more pronouncedly,in his latest film, “Winter Light.”Set in contemporary Sweden,“Winter Light” tells of a pastor inthe hinterlands who is in greatspiritual difficulties. He is troubledby God’s silence, and has even be¬gun, one senses, to doubt His ex¬ist e nee. The pastor’s temporalproblems include poverty, as wellas his disaffection with his mis¬tress, whose clinging ways makeit hard to slough her off.The pastor’s sickness of soulmakes him unable to aid one ofhis parishioners, who is deeplytroubled by the great amount ofhate in the world. The parishioner,his spiritual torment unrelieved,shoots himself.Berman introduces some weightymoral problems in the firsthalf of the film: the moral andsocial guilt of the pastor’s mis¬tress; the moral guilt of the pastorhimself in the suicide; and, aboveall, the meaning of God’s silence.The conclusion, however, cheats unof solutions that can resolve theseproblems to our satisfaction.Bergman seems to excuse themistress because of her deep andtender love; he sems to explain—If not actually to excuse—the pas¬tor by showing that his loss of faith was occasioned by the death of hiswife some years before. As for thequestion of God’s silence, Berg¬man merely informs us that Jesushimself, w'hen on the cross, felt inthe Silence that God had forsakenhim (Matt, xxvii, 46). Whether we,as Christians, must be satisfied toaccept God’s silence, or whetherwe are entitled to doubt God orrage against His silence, is at nopoint made clear. Thus the mostimportant problem raised by thefilm is not merely solved unsatis¬factorily, but is actually left hang¬ing.Tlie acting, as in most of Berg¬man’s recent films, is superb.Gunnar Bjornstrand plays the pas¬tor with great sensitivity and in¬sight, far surpassing his perform¬ance in “Wild Strawberries.” In¬grid Thulin, as the mistress, has aless complex role, as she passes nocrisis, but the quality of her char¬acterization is in no wray inferiorto Bjornstrand’s. Max von Sydow,as the suicide, and Gunnel Lind-blom, 'as his wife, contributegreatly to the powrer of the firsthalf of the film.But despite the excellence bothof acting and of camera work—forBergmann has certainly not failedhere — one cannot but consider“Winter Light” an abortive work,for no amount of technical crafts¬manship can leave us feeling satis¬fied with a film whose spiritualessence is basically so unsatisfy¬ing.David Richter If first impressions have anyvalidity, Friday’s concert by theLa Salle Quartet, the first in theUC chamber music series, pro¬vided a vivid demonstration of thedifference between musical tech¬nique and meaningful art. The twoworks involved were Aleatoria byFranco Evangelisti (1959) and theQuartet composed by KrzystofPenderecki in 1960, which receivedits Chicago premier.The Evangelisti is perhaps themore avant-grad of the two, sinceit leaves a certain choice to theplayers themselves in such ele¬ments of performance as tempo,pitch, and dynamics. To demon¬strate the possible variety of in¬terpretations, we were treated totwo rather similar versions of thework.From the point of view of tech¬nique, the two compositions seemsomewhat similar in their exten- ducing methods, from slapping thestrings or the side of the instru¬ment to playing beyond the bridgeor even beyond the strings.Yet the results have little elsein common. In the Evangelisti,there was the unpleasant sensa¬tion of listening to a catalog ofassorted sounds, with little dis-cernable connection. The com¬poser’s virtuosity in utilizing theresources of the instruments couldbe admired, but the music seemedlifeless and, in fact, tamer andtriter than would be expected fromreading the program notes.In the Penderecki Quartet, how¬ever, the technical games weresubjected to the tnusic, with theresult that it emerged as far moreevidently structured and excitingthan Aleatoria. It seemed to build,carrying along the listeners, rath¬er than merely to exist: who couldfail to be caught up in the open-Black Muslim to speak at ShoreyJohn Ali of the Black Muslimswill speak at Shorey House tonightat 7 pm.

The Open-Purcell Fantasias were dull, whilein the Mozart Quartet in D Miner,K. 421, the playing was decidedlymatter-of-fact and uninvolved, withthe first violin indulging in someoverly harsh outbursts. The finelwork, Alban Berg’s Quartet, Op. 2,was appropriately slushy in tone,but the music’s tortured atmos¬phere often got lost in the mud.Along with the low price of sub¬scription tickets, it was probablythe welcome balance between“avant-gard” and more “tradi¬tional” music which attracted theunusually large audience.

There’s a violin section, for example, that emerges outof nowhere and plays, without benefit of human hands, “Music ToMake Yum-Yum By,” There’s also a bar withenough whiskey to refloat the Titanic. But don’tget Hogan wrong. Jack Lemmon defines Hoganos “a man who is outraged at humanity. There¬fore, everything that seems outlandish and bizarrejto the rest of the world, seems perfectly normal tohim. Hogan cannot understand why the world is so ungrateful toturn.” tWe guarantee it's marvelous mayhem and sure fire ma¬terial for a term paper on Laughter. It may not earn you an “A”j—but what an ’education' when you see Jack Lemmon in Co¬lumbia Picture’s “UNDER THE YUM YUM TREE,” co-starring:Carol Lynley • Dean Jones • Edie Adams * Imogene Coca • Paullynd • Robert Lansing and The Yum-Yum Girls.SEE IT AT A THEATRE IN YOUR CITY!

No need now to cometo a complete stop when you shift intolow—and no clashing gears! It lets youkeep more torque on tap for negotiatingsharp turns and steep grades. It makesdriving more flexible, more pleasurable.Another assignment completed andanother example of how engineeringleadership at Ford provides fresh ideasfor the American Road.MOTOR COMPANYThe American Road, Dearborn, MichiflanWHERE ENGINEERING LEADERSHIPBRINGS YOU BETTER-BUILT CARSShown: 1964 Ford Golaxie 500/XL Iwo-door hardtop8 • CHICAGO MAROON • Oct. 29, 1963
