These arean LL.B. from the Law School, anda B.S. in business administration. In1956. he was named Vice Chancellortor Business Affairs and Secretaryol the Board of Directors ot Wash¬ington University.He is now president of the board ofdirectors of the Educational and In¬stitutional Cooperative, Inc., vicepresident of the Central Associationot College and University BusinessOfficers, and a director of the Na¬tional Association of College andUniversity Business Officers,Ritterskamp commented that hewas invited by the University of Chi¬cago to accept the position three orfour weeks ago. He admitted that hewas unaware of how he was chosenfor the job.Generally, he will co-ordinate thebusiness and non academic activitiesoi the university. At present lie hasno definite plans as to how he will goabout executing the work, as lie doesnot feel that he has sufficient knowl¬edge ot what it will entail.“Mr. Brown,” he said, “has donean excellent job. All I can hope forto to do as good a job as he hasdane.”When Brown was appointed Vice(’resident for Administration in 1961,he took on the responsibilities pre¬viously held by two vice presidents.Brown feels that the University hasmade great progress in increasingthe organizational efficiency of thenon-academic staffs, realizing itsneighborhood program and arrestingthe deterioration of the physicalplant.Brown feels that the departmentheads under his supervision are “asgood as any in the country.” All thedepartments under his oontrol havebeen “pulled together,” he said, andgreat strength has been injected intotlie administrative organization at thesupervisory level. Tlie departmentheads, he feels, are “as good as anyin the country.” for neighborhood improvement. “Ithink they’ve done what everybodywanted done.”Brown said that the best index ofpublic satisfaction with a neighbor¬hood is the amount of money they’rewilling to pay to live there. In thisconnection, he said that while prop¬erty values in other parts of the citydeclined or remained constant, therewas a “dramatic rise” in Hyde Parkover the last two years.A third major area of activity hasbeen physical plant improvement.While tlie University was spending great sums for neighborhood im¬provement in the 1950’s, the physicalplant was neglected. The budgetswere balanced during this period byspending “practically nothing” to¬ward keeping buildings up to stand¬ard, he continued.The Beadle administration, accord¬ing to Brown, has set out to over¬come the obsolescence of the Univer¬sity plant.Among the major renovating jobsrecently completed or scheduled arethose involving Cobb Hall, “CGroup,” and Kent. by Tom HeagyBoth the image and tliereality of the College havebeen consciously changed fromwhat they were during thefifties, stated Warner Wick, Deanof Students, Tuesday night.

Theaverage student was a veteran wlioafter his high school graduation,had been drafted shortly before orHe was attracted to a large extentby our placement system whichalowed the education gained vi¬cariously during the war to givehim advanced placement.These students were very serious,frequently married, and had the“experience” of having lived throughthe war. During this period, studentactivities collapsed; however, in theclassroom the rapport was “inde¬scribable.” Academically, the Col¬lege was at its height.“The early fifties let us down witha bang,” said Wick. What had beentoe main attraction of the College(the placement system) became adisadvantage. Most of the studentsfresh out of high school weresmashed by the placements. Theearly entrants actually wereearly entrants, many as young as15.It took the most students who hadgraduated from high school threeyears to get a BA which was notrecognized by any graduate school,and three more years to get theirMA. This was a year more than thestandard four year BA — one yearMA. Early entrants took even long¬er.The enrollement decreased, whilein an attempt to keep it from de¬creasing even more, the standardsfor admission were lowered and theproportion of early entrants went up.The main pursuit of students wasto convince others that they weregeniuses. Naturally geniuses didn’tneed to go to classes or to study.This soon developed into a socialcompulsion, Wick said. The com¬prehensive examination allowed astudent to bluff a long time buteventually he had to take the ex¬aminations. The result was thatonly one third of the first year stu¬dents made it through. The studentsof this period were basically non¬achievers, Wick stated.The image of the College at thistime was generally that our stu¬dents were neurotic, red. quiz kid,juvenile delinquents. The Collegewas not a healthy place for studentseither as students or as people. Thetop of the class was still very good,but the bottom was very bad. “Wehad neurotic geniuses, but alsoneurotics who were not at all gen¬iuses,” Wick observed.At the same time, the neighbor¬hood had deteriorated tremendously,and the University’s financial con¬Quote of the Day‘‘You can't have a great Universitywithout a place to buy beer." -—Warner Wick, Dean ot Students.merate the points which* Shriver hadwished to cover.What Peace Corps offerslearned important information aboutother societies.A second factor concerning thePeace Corps which Shriver had in¬ dition was in the process of deteri¬orating. According to Wick: “Wewere in terrible trouble.”About this time former ChancellorRobert Maynard Hutchins quit tojoin the Ford Foundation. “Hutchinsthought it would be nice to have allthose millions without the work,”explained Wick.On becoming Chancellor, Law¬rence Kimpton undertook to changeboth the image and the reality ofthe College. A four year BA wasinstituted, early entrance was de-emphasized, and more attempt wasmade to go national in the distribu¬tion of the first year classes, Wicksaid.“We are rather pleased with ourpresent reality,” said Wick. “We arenot particularly interested in beinglike the Ivies. As far as undergrad¬uate education is concerned, we arefar better anyway. Harvard’s maindrawing card is its house system,which we simply cannot afford tocompete with,” he stated.In response to the charge that theCollege is less intellectual, creative,and non-conformist, Wick said“fooey.” He described this view asnothing but a myth. There is a muchgreater tendency to gerform (aca¬demically, artistically or any otherway) than there was twelve yearsago, he feels.The original faculty members whoset up the UC general education pro¬gram are for toe most part no long¬er active in it, Wick observed. Be¬cause of this, classes are sometimesnot as electric as they were in thelate fourties. This has also caused thespirit of the College to be carriedincreasingly by the students.I•\ EDITORIALSports comparatively unimportantMr. Taylor’s letter, whichappears elsewhere on thispage, is not the first criticismof Maroon content and com¬parative allotment of space.Tndeed, such criticisms aremore or less a standard aspectof journalism or any otheractivity subject to public re¬action. We tend to regardthem as necessary evils. Afterall, you can’t please all of thepeople all of the time, and wecertainy would never attemptto deny that criticism is anintegral component of any in¬tellectual community.Why an editorial then ? Be¬cause recent criticisms of theMaroon have become steadilymore irrational. As Mr. Tay¬lor’s does, they tend to in¬volve verbalized cases of sourgrapes, almost always disre¬ garding the intentions of theMaroon and making absolute¬ly no effort to understandwhat putting out a paper in¬volves and what lies behindspace-allotment decisions.As an editorially free stu¬dent newspaper, we feel theMaroon’s three major dutiesare these: 1) to provide ac¬curate, complete coverage ofall news stories that affectcampus life; 2) to commenteditorially on these stories;and 3) to report news that isless immediate, featureswhich treat aspects of theuniversity which are of un¬usual interest (e.g.: the cur¬rent Workings of the Univer¬sity series).The Maroon's major dutiesare not to be a campus bill¬board, concerned exclusively with reporting notices ofcampus events; to reportevents which, in spite of ahigh number of participants,are clearly not importantcampus events (e.g.: sports);or to necessarily or deliber¬ately attempt to representgeneral campus opinion, whenit is discernible, either edi¬torially or reportorially.As for Mr. Taylor’s specificcriticism (request?), sportsare not covered for one majorreason. Simply, sports are notdesigned to play a large partin UC activities. We refer Mr.Taylor to the words of formerChancellor Robert MaynardHutchins, who declared thatsports at UC will never be en¬gaged in “for the spectacularenjoyment of thousands ofpeople.” This is not only avain declaration; it is a fact.Varsity sports at UC arehardly high-level, and wesuspect that intramurals areas attractive as they are be¬cause they are not vital toanything, but are designedmerely for enjoyment. Wecannot very readily imagine asignificant increase in campusinterest in the Maroon if itincluded sports results or(heaven forbid!) a full pagea week. No more readily canwe believe that there is moreinterest in sports results thanin an interview with Superin¬tendent Wilson.If he were only requestingsports coverage, Mr. Taylor’srequest would be rationalenough. But what renders itirrational is his total neglectof certain facts: 1) We arenot in competition with themajor Chicago dailies and cannever hope to be. The fea¬tures referred to are supple¬mentary. They are designedto give staff members the op¬portunity to write about w hatthey want; 2) The Maroon adreferring to “unforgivableJournalism” was clearly in¬tended in a humorous way. IfMr. Taylor cannot recognizethis, we recommend both re¬reading the ad and looking up“sarcasm” in the dictionary;3) We must limit the amountof pictures w e use because en¬gravings cost money and weare on a tight budget, to saynothing of the amount ofspace that pictures consume;4) Most importantly, no “un¬reasoning prejudice” is lurk¬ing in the backs of our minds.The question is really one ofrelative importance: aresports as important as othermaterial? To us, they are notin the great majority of cases.If Mr. Taylor desires sportsresults so fervently, we rec¬ommend that he either readStudent Union’s Forecast,which promises sports cover¬age, or cast a glance at theBartlett Gym bulletin boards.He will not find very muchsports, if any at all, in theMaroon. We are always gladto listen to sensible, construc¬tive criticism. Mr. Taylor,however, is one of several whoseem to be criticizing solelyfor the sake of criticizing. Tothese sorts of comments, wecan promise neither muchcordiality nor much action.44444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444*look for the label to be sureNATIONALLY ADVERTISEDIV//VDBAEHKF/1WWOB/fBUrf/l - Danville Co.OANVILLF ILLINOISTHEBRIGADIERGOAL COATrugged handsome corduroy on the outside... plus fleecy, warm pile on the insideRegular$29.95FinalClearance Complimenting each other —rugged, wide-wale prime cordu¬roy on the outside, and a soft,warm, fleecy Shoorna® pile lin¬ing on the inside.

BRUCE TAYLORCORE states positionTO THE EDITOR:Unfortunately for those who wishedto hear from him directly about thePeace Corps, R. Sargent Shriver wasforced to cancel his Tuesday appear¬ance on campus. UC CORE, in con¬sequence, cancelled its planned pic¬ket of Mr. Shriver.The picket would have been a“token" informational picket of 5-10students. (There was to be no attemptto persuade students not to attendMr. Shriver’s lecture.) Picket signswere to be formal statements ofCORE’S position (as opposed to “slo¬gan-type" signs) and fact sheets onMr. Shriver’s relation to the schoolsystem were to be passed out.Also to be distributed was an offi¬cial statement of CORE’S position asfollows:“Dear Mr. Shriver:You cannot make war on pov¬erty without fighting discrimina¬tion!You cannot fight the battle forpeace without removing once andfor all, and everywhere, discrimi¬nation !This is what President Kennedyknew.We hone you know it, too. andtrust that you are today not thesame man who was president ofthe discriminatory board of educa¬tion in Chicago.

In order to forcechanges in the system, a number ofprojects have been planned to dealwith this crisis such as a secondschool boycott, voter registration,etc.All of these projects are designedto create pressure from below to ixr-suadc the key figure in Chicago,Mayor Daley, that some ‘uceomoda-tion’ must be made to the civil rightsmovement. It was the hope of UCCORE that Mr. Shriver might bepersuaded and/or embarrassed intoexerting some jx-essure on the Mayorin a direction wliich would help alle¬viate the Chicago crisis.We feci that it was appropriate toput pressure on Mr. Shriver sincereports by the Urban League, theU S Civil Rights Commission andChicago CORE indicated that it wasunder Mr. Sliriver’s administrationthat the real consolidation of segre¬gation in the school system wasaccomplished.We felt that there was a chancethat Mr. Shriver could be persuadedto help tiie civil rights movementbecause of the superb record he hadmade with the Peace Corps and withthe Kennedy-Johnson administrationin general.We felt that Mr. Shriver could heof some help because of his govern¬mental position, his position as po-tential Vice-Presidential candidateand his great influence in the Demo¬cratic Party and the Johnson admin¬istration (witness the fact that liewas, just the other day, invited toalt end all cabinet meetings).No one believed that tikis pressurewould be great or that it would ac¬complish overnight the integrationwhich we all desire. We were sure,in fact, that it would only be of a lim¬ited nature.Yet, when one takes into accountthe awesome nature of the crisis inChicago, even a fairly minor amountof additional pressure, and this timefrom above, is crucial. We believethat to feel it unnecessary to bringpressure on all those who might pos¬sibly be able to relieve the unjustsituation, demonstrates a rather pro¬found misunderstanding of the plightof Negro children in the city of Chi¬cago.'Die Shriver picket controversy,however, is now over. At this time,we must look to the more major en¬deavor, next Tuesday’s school boy¬cott.

Alvin Pitcher of theChurch Federation, and HowardSchomer, president of CTS.‘ Only three of 21 organizations vot¬ing expressed disapproval of theboycott, and these were based onobjections particular to these organ-17ations,” Raby said.Kaby declared that after extensivenegotiations over integrating theschools and on the quality of educa-()•■< with the Board of Fducathm. nosatisfactory results had been obtained.They asked for information concern¬ing school population, achievementlevels, and the racial composition ofyl the teaching staff, and met with flatrejections. The board told them thatthese statistics were not even avail-aide to them. Raby wondered howdie board could make decisions forfuture school planning without fullknowledge of the present quality andsituation.He believed that they could notand that past situations had proventhis. He cited a three and one-halfp illion dollar federal grant offeredthe school board for a North sideproject which had to be turned downdue to lack of data. The Ford Foun¬dation was conducting a project atthe Doolittle school which also hadto be terminated due to the inavaila-!slity of data for comparison from theBoard of Education.‘ We cannot have confidence andtrust in a board which allows thistype of thing to go on,” Raby de¬cs ired. Even the statement of ClareRoddewig, president of the Board ofEducation is meaningless. ‘‘Its sole(turpo.se is to confuse and divide theNegro community,” he charged.Tiie poor quality of education theNegro pupil receives in the publicsciiool hampers his future, makinghen unable to support himself and his family, Ruby said. Thus he isforced to rely on public aid and thevicious cycle continues. The schoolassists in perpetuating it. he accused.Alvin Pitcher, associate professorof the Divinity school, observed acrack in Superintendent Willis’s ar¬rogance, following the first schoolboycott October 22. ‘‘He is a difficultman who finds it impossible to listento others or to treat anyone as hisequal.” He is a little easier to getalong with now, Pitcher said.He further believed that the schoolboard was avoiding the issues whichtroubled the public schools ‘‘becausethey did not have a ‘set mind'; theywere not able to understand the spe¬cific problems.” He noted the lowstandards in Negro schools, andblamed them on the inadequate num¬bers of teachers, and amount of reve¬nue allocated by the board of educa¬tion.Pitcher went on to declare that theCCCO was the only group that couldaid the educational plight of the Ne¬gro. There are only two aldermenthat are responsive to the interests ofthe Negro: Chew and Despres, hesaid. The other Negro aldermen fol¬low Daley’s instructions. The schoolboard likewise has only two memberswho are concerned with the Negro.The ultimate responsibility for ap¬pointments to the board lies with theMayor, and if he had known thesetwo members better, Pitcher thought,he would not have chosen them.When Protest at toe Polls tried tobreak this power structure so ad¬verse to toe Negro by slating candi¬dates for committeemen, they werenot even allowed on toe ballot,Pitcher said.This leaves the Negro with mass-movements as the only way of beingheard and being able to have his in¬terests considered.George Riddick of SNCC warnedthat a great deal of emotion andhate is building up in the Negro com¬munity and that it is liable to ex¬plode unless the educational situa¬tion among other things is bettered.‘‘The social revolution is coming,”lie declared. “We are trying to makeit bloodless, not bloody.”Concerning toe lack of a unani¬mous vote on the school boycott, hebelieved that this was a sign of toematurity of toe Negro leadership.‘‘It cannot develop completely uni¬ fied,” he declared, ‘‘Some were bornto be in tlie kitchen, and some in toefield. Only a Negro can truly under¬stand a statement like this.”Howard Schomer of the ChicagoTheological Seminary explained thereason for th? lack unaminity in thevote, which was 17 in favor, 3 op¬posed. and 1 abstention. The UrbanLeague is prohibited by its consti¬tution from supporting any such boy¬cotts. They were not even able tosupport the last one. The NAACP is presently engagedin voter registration and does noth^ve the available facilities to co¬operate in a boycott at the presenttime. The Catholic inter-racial Coun¬cil is facing problems in its ownparochial schools, and feels it should“clean its own house, before com¬plaining about others.” The Presby¬terian interracial Council is alsovery hampered by its composition.Remarking on the moral justifica¬tion of the boycott, Schomer declared that “people in palaces, parliamentsand courts need encouragement fromtime to time from the people in thestreets when the distribution ofburdens and privileges becomes toointolerable. The people in the palaces,parliaments and courts know that thepeople in the streets have bricks andother things that they can throw, sothey react to the encouragement andmake changes. Then they go onuntil the next encouragement comesfrom the people in the streets.”Educators discuss J. B.

Chase and Taylor, however,found many discrepancies in thepoints listed, and also showed dissat¬isfaction with the exclusion of manyimportant areas in the field of teach¬er education.Chase showed further displeasurewith Conant’s book by stating thattlve author, in Chase’s interpretation,is excluding “teachers with inquiringminds.” Chase added that it is exacLly this inquiring mind that is neces¬sary today.Although Chase said that he could“go along” with most of the recom¬mendations set forth in the book, the“failure to address himself to theteacher’s functions” was a “seriousshortcoming.” He said that toe func¬tion of the teacher has been toe samefor thousands of years—that of adecision maker, "humanizer,” etc.Chase stressed that people todayneed a “broad education, as well asenough specialization.” He addedthat it is important in these times,as it has always been, “to learn tothink.”Taylor, who became president ofSarah Lawrence College when hewas 30 years old, stated the import¬ance of the creative arts, and sug¬gested, to the delight of the audi¬ence, that “science, math and engi¬neering could be added as electives.”The one-time philosophy instructorat the University of Wisconsin saidthat toe purpose of education is to“make people sensitive to their ownconditions and the world’s.” Taylorasserted that it is this awareness, notgrades, exams or the like, which isessential for people of today.“One must not . . . move througha standardized academic program,”added Taylor. He expressed distastefor such standardization by statingthat “there is no faster way to aca¬demic disaster than to study underan academic philosopher.”Harpsicord recital Sat.Swiss harpsichordist Silvia Kindwill make her Chicago debut in arecital at the Law School Auditoriumon Saturday, February 22.Her concert will include theFrench Suite in E Major and theToccata and Fugue in A Minor byBach, Three Pieces by Honegger,and works by Couperin, Byrd, Bull,Pasquini, Rameau, and Peter Mieg.The concert will begin at 8:30 pm.Tickets, available at the Music De¬partment, 5802 South Woodlawn, Ext.3885, are $1.Count the Change* in the A It-NewHere’s a startt New styling, new'comfort,new power.

House Resolution #619, filedJanuary 31. calls for a budget of$300,000. $60,000 less than what theCommittee received during 1963.At first, it might seem that the cutIn the HUAC budget is being effectedin accordance with President John¬son's recently announced “War onpoverty.” But the Chicago Commit¬tee to Defend the Bill of flights seesdeeper significance in it.The Committee, whose aim it is toabolish HUAC, feels that the budgetcut is indicative of concern on thepaid of HUAC over increasing criti¬cism. Concerning the budget cutspecifically, Richard Criley, secre¬tary of the Committee, feels that“HUAC has trimmed its sails a bitin hope of forestalling opposition,about which it is now becoming in¬creasingly concerned.”Criley pointed out that HUAC failedto use $52,000 of its budget for lastyear. To his mind, this should havewarranted a budget cut in any case,but he feels that HUAC is using thecut for political rather than economi¬cal effect. Criley’s sentiments were offeredjis a part of a comprehensive Chica-go-anea drive to get Chicago resi¬dents to write to their eongresscnanand urge the abolition of HUAC.Included among the Committee'sofficers are Robert J. Havighurst,professor of Education, who is theCommittee chairman; and RabbiRichard W. Winograd, director ofHilletThe Committee, in its drive, con¬tends that “HUAC has consistentlyviolated the constitutional rights ofwitnesses; it has attempted to stiflefree expression of opinion on publicissues; (and) it has fed wrational andviolence-breeding hatreds.”Although a recorded vote on eitherHUAC's budget or the abolition ofHUAC cannot be guaranteed, sincethis decision rests with House Speak¬er John McCormack, the Committeefeels that if Congressmen are madeaware of prevailing sentiments intheir home areas, they can bring atleast some pressure to bear on Mc¬Cormack.Criley added, in this regard, thatBarratt O’Hara, Congressman fromthe 2nd district, has attempted espe¬cially to collect support from hisconstituents for his anti-HUAC posi¬tion. O'Hara was one of only 6 Con¬gressmen to vote against HUAC in avote three years ago, and one of 20last year.Letters to O’Hara, or to any otherCongressman, may be addressed tothe House Office Building, Washing¬ton 25, DC. The student newspapers atthe four Illinois state teach¬ers’ universities will have allcopy censored by a facultyappointee in the future.The announcement of the policywas made last Monday (Feb. 10) bythe Illinois Teachers College Boardwhich regulates policy tor IllinoisState University at Normal, EasternIllinois University, Western IllinoisUniversity, and Northern Illinois Uni¬versity.The policy states in part, “a com¬petent faculty sponsor shall have theright to examine all copy presentedfor publication, including headlines,and shall be authorized to correctand edit copy to meet the standardsof accuracy and good usage and fin¬ally, he shall scan proofs of eachpage ol type and have the authorityusually vested in the director of aprivately owned publication ol gener¬al circulation.”The action apparently resultedfrom the dismissal several weeksago of John Woods, student editor ofthe Eastern State News. He tried toprint an article which allegedlywould have been libelous.Connie Schneider, who has beennamed to succeed Woods, said thenew policy could curtail the studenteditors ol the paper.“The faculty adviser is, in effect, the editor if he desires,” she said.Royal A. Stipes, head of the board,said Monday night the policy dot'snot amount to any censorship. Ac¬cording to him, each university al¬ways has had a policy similar tothis, but the board never Iras formal¬ized it before.The statement emphasized that thepolicy only “reaffirms and formallystates” the regulation.Quincy Doudna, presklent of East¬ern Illinois University, said after themeeting Monday that the policy“does not in any way change existingpolicy at Eastern Illinois University.”Woods said that Eastern has al¬ways had the power to suppressnews in the paper, but that it hasnever exercised its authority before.Kenneth Hesler, adviser to theEastern State News, said Eastern'spolicy regarding student publicationsis consistent with the board's an¬nounced policy. “I forsce no changes,or plan no changes, in my practiceor duties as a result ol the boardpolicy,” he said.The board's resolution stated;“All campus publications (of thefour universities) are a part of theuniversity functions and are respon¬sible to the university authority,which in turn is res[»nsible tor themto the Teachers College Board andthe State of Illinois. razes the obligation, legal andresting upon all communication mas?media.

Not since thehistoric first performance of Le^aere du Printemps has the musicalworld been so shakened and shat¬tered by coexistent affirmation andoutrageous disgust. We have heard.Now, as Grosvenor P. Cooler wouldsay, it is time to discuss.The Beatles are often compared toa man who generated a similaremotional exuberance: Elvis Pres¬ley. The analogy I ’ds for a fewobvious similarities. But there is amajor difference. P. esley, like Bur-tok, took certain folk melodies andtinfused them with the temper of thetimes and his own genius. Songslike ‘ Lawdy Miss Clawdy,” ‘’YouAin’t Nothing But a Hounddog.” and“Shake. Rattle, and Roll,” all fromPresley's early “Old South” period,are basically folk-blues built onwhat Jonathan Hallyday terms the^“Le rocher et le rouleau” rhythm.The Beatles, however, have fash¬ioned, or at least popularized, anew art form. They have taken thepremises that Presley, the Trash-men. Dr. Fieldgood and the Interns,and others have been tinkering withand given them such power andintrinsic integrity that a nuovemusiche has been “kam zu Welt,”treed of its roots to develop itselfas a genre. A brief overview of thisevolution and the Beatles’ ownmusico - socio - politico - persono -economic background is necessaryfor further ’‘direct perception.*’The Beatles are, as one criticaptly puts it, “the high priests, orperhaps the chief ex|x>nents of the“Mersey Beat.” ‘‘The Mersey Beat”evolved in the English seajxirt townof Liverpool (from the Norse Hlithar-pollr, “The pool of (he slopes”) andreceives its name from the chiefriver there—the Mersey.This evolution, drawing on variousribularies and eventually “liberaclosely parallels the evolu¬tion of jazz in New Orleans andopera in Renaissance Italy. TheBeatles, as the chief exponents ofthe new music, take a position equalto that of King Oliver’s SavannahSvncopators in jazz and the Floren¬tine Camerata in opera. Each gavebirth to a musical form that was‘en 1 air” at the time.Beatle 'sound' analyzedBut what is this sound? Basically,ls 'be Mersey Beat CombinationV- -lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bussgniiar, and drums plus lour mulevoices and a potpourri of other sec¬ondary instruments. The musiccritic- of the I^ondon Times talks oftrademarks:_ “The Boy” is one of their mastIntriguing songs, with its chainof pentatonic clusters. Thosesub-mediant switches from Cmajor into A flat major and toa lesser extent, mediant onesto g. the octave ascent'in fivefamous ‘‘I Want to Hold YourHand”) are a trademark. Theother trademark of their com¬positions is a firm and purpose*ful bass with a musical life ofits own.In the music of the Beatles one can^ the influence of rock and rollin that curious entwining ofDr form” peculiar to music, its pre-leoessimg and simultaneous Elthem-utKischwestern, rhythm and blues, orbohopenhauer describes it in hisdiscussion of music in The World AsIdea, ' Ixith their supporter andsource ” As lead guitar George Har-Bson once commented about theDeath- music,b s louder. It’s more like theolder rock and roll recordingsof five years ago. than the’nusic they used to have inEngland say a year ago,which was more the balladSort of stuff. Beatle music has newfreshness, hypnotic beatBut the Mersey Beat and theBeatles are not just returning likethe Deller Consort or Mitch Millerand the Sing Along Gang to thePast. This music has a freshness,sincerity, and hypnotic beat thatappears neither in the tedious, pre¬tentious, infantile rebellion of rockand roll or the blue, harsh, unsat¬isfied sound of rhythm and blues.The Beatles represent at oncerebellion and affirmation, much asBob Dylan does in his genre. Thisemotional phenomena has been cap¬tured by the Beatles in their musicby reworking old pop-music ideas,much as Bertolt Brecht and KurtWeil did in their early songs. Bydoing this, both have created musicstamped with the sound of theirtimes, bearing the personal messageof the composer, and containingenough intrinsic integrity to last inthe ranks of immortal music.But obviously, the Beatles aremore than a musical trend. Theyhave become the heroes, thefetishes, the Teddy Roosevelts, theErnest Hemingways, the RobertMaynard Hutchinses of the newgeneration. No serious discussionof them can avoid this fact. Theauthors are indebted to Roliert Jaffefor the following Freudian-NeoAdler-Landers overview.“English psychiatrists approve ofthis facet of the Beatles’ success.They say it has a healthy release oftension, tension generated by the in¬cipient sexual rivalries everpresentin the jungsehmerz” era of puberty;that is to say, tiie oedipal conflictsas evolved in modern British milieu.”However, the deep need for the ap¬proval of one’s compeers in these allimportant years of developmentleads to constant affirmations of in¬frasocial standards. The Beatles ful¬fill this need for a great many ofthe younger generation.As Kocawphsky has repeatedlystated, “Never in tlie history of (lieentire pre-adolescent psyche, modi¬fied by the present anti-social trendsand stimulated by the absolute play-role deferment until tiie later years(“Wouldst thou climb the wall, Jo¬hanna?” Ruth 36.21,36) has it beenso.”Beatles explain successOne of the Beatles explains theirsuccess and emotional symbolismthusly:At the time we made our firstrecord in England tiie public waswaiting for a different sort ofsound from the type of recordthey’d had. And then we cameout with sort of funny hair cuts,and interesting songs and I thinkthere are all sorts of reasons.The wild devotion of adolescentsto tiie Beatles may frighten andconfuse many people, but it is ob¬viously a factor in generating theemotional impact implicit and in¬trinsic to a Beatles’ concert, andmust, therefore, be considered a val¬uable contribution to tiie art en masseof the Beatles. Only at Mandel Halllast week at the Budapest concertcould one experience the same em¬pathy found in tiie Pierce Tower TVroom the first Sunday the Beatlesperformed. As the Beatles tlicmselvessay:A good thing is the atmosphere,you know. That sort of noisecreates an addition. It you get theidea that they like your sort ofmusic it helps you do it, youknow.So here we stand, witnessing thecreation of the new musical form,born from tradition but able to standon its own two feet. The Beatles com¬bine the sincerity of Woody Guthrie,the musical inventiveness of Foss,the appeal of Presley, the exuber¬ance of Olatunji, and the showman¬ship of I>eonard Bernstein. The seri¬ous student of music must ask him¬self — “Is this combination a validand lasting contribution to the his¬torical movement of music? If so,why? If not, why not?But are these questions being asked? Unfortunately, for Americanculture and the psychic well-beingof UC students, the answer, is no.There is no free culture here. In¬stead we have a fossilized sham ofso-called standards of taste. Stu¬dents are content to hide within itand nurture their new found peergroun standards of taste or maintainprovincial ones so they won’t loseall contact with the prejudices ofhome.Wien a new cultural movement,such as the Beatles, apixjars, as aresult, and does not easily fall intoplace in this catalogued system ofart, it is either ignored and/or con¬descendingly tolerated.The effects of such belief on soci¬ety and the individual are too broadto discuss here. One should, however,remember Margaret Mead’s warningat the recent Kupcinet Symposiumthat a society is doomed in which theintellectuals talk only to themselves.Perhaps Dr. Odlid best sums it upin the lesser known corollary to hisfamous second premises, “Death In¬vites the Lax to Defend Orthodoxy.”Discuss Beatle criticismBut let us take some of the argu¬ments advanced recently against theBeatles and momentarily honor themwith rational examination. The first,and most superficial, is “They’re allfakes, all they are are hairdoes?”Is this valid criticism? Are theymerely, as Mallarme says, a “bibe¬lot d’inanite sonore?” Certainly not.Is Beethoven ignored because hedidn't wear his hair Ivy League? IsLeonard Berstein nothing but a hair¬do? Is Wyn Stracke nothing but abald head? Certainly not. The Bea¬tles should be judged on similargrounds.Another argument goes somethinglike this: “They are nothing but afad, a simple teenage crush that willquickly pass away.” Is Liszt to beignored because ho caused, in thewords of Heine, a "histrionic epi¬lepsy?” Is Van Clibum to be com¬pletely forgotten because of the*crowds that greeted him when he re¬turned from Russia (8.(119,821 sq.miles)? Certainly not. The Beatlesshould be judged on similar grounds.And when all else fails, one cansay. “They mean nothing to me.They just don't interest me.”Ask more Beatle musicThe reproach we address to thisattitude Ls the following. How canone condemn that which he does notknow? It is time for the uninitiatedto seriously expose themselves to, theBeatles’ music. One can only ho])ethat in tiie future we will have morechances to hear this type of music.Only through increased performancewill the musical public be able tounderstand and identify with tiieseemingly unconventional nature ofthe works of this school of composi¬tion.Perhaps if we point out. in themost elemental way, some of thethings to look for in the Beatlesmusic, a light will dawn in the dark¬ness. Of course, words are notenough to destroy what Perrin Low-rey refers to as “the tin ear. Pui-chasing and playing and repla> ingCapitol’s “Meet the Beatles” oreven just one of the 45 s would bebest. But this is too much to hopefor. Let us continue.First, try to notice the bassearlier mentioned in this article.Paul McCartney plays it, perhapswith less technical proficiency thanBen Webster but with the samepersonal immediacy of MischaSchneider. Watch its independence,the way it comments on the rest ofthe song, the way it separates butfinally comes to dramatic union withthe melody in the third "I want tohold your hand” phrase of the samesong.Comparative word analysisAlso, for a starter, notice thepoetry, the words themselves, ofthe song. They are unique. Let’scompare them with a few selectionsfrom other pie Beatle songs to see how they differ. Following are aStanza each from Peter Potter,Walsh, part of An die Freude, partof “Mockinbird Hill.” Buddy Holly,and finally two Beatle selections.There’s a little sunshine in every¬thing you doWhy don’t you-umWhy don't weThere’s a little sunshine whenskies above are blue umDon’t be blue-umWhy don’t we Well I love ya’ gal,And I want ya’ Peggy Sue.She was just SeventeenYou know what I meanAnd the way she lookedWas way beyond compareNow I’ll never dance with anotherWo (sung two octaves higher)Since I saw her standing there.de bob a didde bob a didde de bob a dudu dudu da did a didduFreude schoner GotterfunkenTochter aus ElysiumWir Betretten feuertrunkenHimmlische dcin Heiligtum.Tra-la-la, Twee-da-lee-dee-deeIt gives me a thrillTo waken in the mornin’To the mockin- birds’ trillTra-la-da, twee-da-lee-dee-deeThere’s Peace and Good Will!You’re welcome as the flowers,Up on Mockin' bird Hill!If you knewPeggy SueThen you'd knowWhy I feel bluew'thout Peggymy Peggy Sue-uh-whoOo-a-whe-a-who-who And when I touch you I feelhappy insideIt’s such a feeling that my loveI get highI Get HighI GET HIGH.By now it should be obvious.Without hearing the absolutely im¬portant phrasing and metric em¬phasis given by the Beatles it isstill obvious that something new ishappening.

(The authors are indebted to T.White Heald for the extensive use ofhis musical knowledge and library).It would take pages to explain theart of the Beatles. We have touchedon only a few obvious points.We demand anyone who disagreesto attack us, either in the pages ofMaroon or in the alley betweenWoodlawn and University.

(CPS)—The Church, State and fraternity lifehave collided head on at the Univer¬sity of Maryland. The Church ranlast.The latest in the feud came thisweek in the form of a denial fromuniversity President Wilson H. Elkinsrejecting accusations that the univer¬sity has denied its chaplains freedomof speech and action.Bringing the charge on behalf ofthe chaplains was the MarylandChapter of the American Civdl Liber¬ties Union (ACLU), headed by Dr.Arthur Stinchcombe, sociology pro¬fessor at Baltimore’s Johns HopkinsUniversity.Behind the charges and denialswas the main victim—the Rev. JesseMeyers, who said he was resigningafter 13 years as Presbyterian chap¬lain at the University of Maryland.Tracing the problem to the begin¬ning leads to last August as the, newcrop of freshmen prepared to begincollege life near the nation’s capital.The parents of Presbyterian studentsgot an unexpected letter in the mails.It was from the Rev. Meyers,warning of losing their sons to theevils oi fraternity life. Meyers notedthe low moral standards prevailingalong frat row and speculated the de¬pravity was a possible cause of lowacademic standing.While the letter was an apparentattempt to safeguard the morals ofstudents, President Elkins, when hegot wind of k, thought Meyers hadoverstepped his duties.“Irresponsible” was now Elkinsbranded the chaplain’s letter.Also angered was the MarylandBoard of Regents, a state-appointedgroup headed by spice man CharlesMcCormick which oversees the oper¬ation of the land-grant university.McCormick, a strong supporter offraternity life, and other board mem¬bers went along with Elkins in cen¬suring Meyers. They also approvedthis policy governing the campuschaplains:“Duties on campus should be lim¬ited to serving the religious needs ofthe members of their denominations.“Each of the chaplains should ob¬tain the approval of the executive dean of student life before beginningservices on the campus and that thecontinuance of such service shouldbe at the discretion of the appropri-ate university authorities.”According to one student leader,tiie policy boiled down to “don'tbruise the invitation. Reverend, ifyou want to hang around.”To Stinchcombe, who visited theMaryland campus last week, thepolicy gives the university “thepower to decide what is religion.”The ACLU representative told acheering student group that it “clear¬ly violates the separation of churchand state spelled out in the Constitu¬tion. It was retarding the campus in¬tellectual growth and damaging itsacademic stature by denying aca¬demic freedom.”But Elkins didn’t see it that way.“The university has every rig lit toexpect ethical and responsible con¬duct from the campus chaplains,”he said.“Lacking this, the university as¬serts its right to appeal to the chap-lain’s church governing body withwhatever statement or complaintmay seem appropriate.”While Presbyterian officials haven’trushed to Meyer's aid in the contro¬versy, the chaplain did indicate hishierarchy would back him. Neverthe¬less he was still leaving the campus.The Meyers case revived anotherdispute that university officialsthought dead Aug. 28.In recent days, the campus clergyhas registered another protest that,in effect, the Board of Regents usedpressure to make Elkins prevent tiiechaplains from taking part in thecivil rights March on Washington.Specifically, they charged Elkinswith preventing the Rev. MartinLuther King from speaking on theCollege Park campus.Elkins, they said, also complainedwhen a Methodist student organiza¬tion heard speakers who participatedin local sit-ins and picketed the WhiteHouse to protest treatment of mis¬sionaries in Portugese African col¬onics.The University again denied thecharges.Feb. 21, 1964 • CHICAGO MAROON •Mrs. Scala discusses election, Calendar of eventsHamson-Halsted conflict Friday. February 21Mrs. Florence Scala, de¬feated aldermanic candidatein the 1st ward, spoke atThompson House Wednesdaynight about her participation in theHarrison -Hals ted—University of Illi¬nois controversy and about her cam¬paigns against Donald W. Parrillo,who defeated her in the recent elec¬tion.Mrs. Scala described her districtas one with a raucous history and anOld World atmosphere. The FirstWard has a long history’ of racketeer¬ing and corrupt politics. Since thereign of Big Bill Thompson, racketshave been firmly entrenched in theFirst Ward.Jane Adams, at Hull House, didher best, but she eould hardly beat“the machine.” In her time, one outof every five voters held a job de¬pendent upon the good will of thealderman.“Today,” Mrs. Scala said, “Thedifferences are not so easily discem-able, for the long marriage betweencrime and politics has come to enjoya guilty tolerance by the public.”Mrs. Scala explained that the oldmob-rule violence techniques are in¬frequently used foday. Nevertheless,there is a definite link between crimeand politics in the First Ward. pute him, and when he says, ‘No oneis hungry in Chicago,’ no recognizedcivic leader rises to admonish him,”Mrs. Scala said.She indicated that Mayer Daley,Cardinal Meyer, President Beadle,Judge Parsons, Senator Douglas, andSenator Knowland were not acting inbehalf of the public interest whenthey said on a television panel dis¬cussion, last Sunday, that Chicago'sproblems are few and that “every¬thing was coming up roses. A lot ofgood, tipstanding, respectable leadersgave democracy a severe beating,and like cowards, they struck frombehind,” she remarked.Discussing more specifically theHarrison-Halsted affair, Mrs. Scalaaccused James C. Downs, Jr. ofbringing the University of Illinois tothe First Ward. f)owns becamePresident of the Hull House Board inI960. Prior to his appointment, HullHouse had been the motivating forceopposing the University of IllinoisExtension Program.Downs was also head of the firmwhich was hired by the University ofIllinois to survey and recommend asite for a campus to be located in ornear Chicago. Downs is presently atrustee of the University of Chicago.Mrs. Scala called him “the architectof the dirty business.” Lecture: “Family Planning and SocialResponsibility,’’ (Population Researchand Training Center.

People arealso needed to teach art,music, dance, and writing,and to lead a discussiongroup on current events forseven-year olds.There is good reason for the FirstWard to be so corrupt; much of (hedowntown area is part of this dis¬trict. The First Ward extends fromAshland to the lake, and fromWaeker Drive to Twenty-secondStreet. Mrs. Scala said that alongSouth State Street, prostitution, nar¬cotics, and the policy wheel are notuncommon.She charged not the racketeers andthe gangsters but the so-called civicleaders with the responsibility for thecorruption in these districts. “Thenthere is the fact that some of ourmost influential citizens deal wtihshady characters all the time,” shesaid. When John DArco, formerFirst Ward committeeman and aider-man t announced that he would notbe a candidate for alderman in thecoming election, Mayor Daley placedbis arm around him and praised himwarmly for his leadership in the wardand for his fine work in the city coun¬cil, Mrs. Scala observed.Mrs. Scala spoke of more seriousenemies than the First Ward politicalorganization. She referred to theones who pretend to lead the people,but who deprive the people of any“meaningful role in society, the onescloaked with respectability, money,prestige, and power.”“When the Mayor of Chicago says,’There are no ghettos in Chicago,’ norecognized civic leader rises to dis- Mrs. Scala mentioned that the Uni¬versity of Illinois was not the onlysuch institution which had infringedupon the rights of the citizens of theFirst Ward. In 1956, when the districtwas applying for urban renewal aid,it was passed over in favor of theurban renewal project at the Univer¬sity of Chicago. She said that it wasnot surprising that the University re¬ceived the aid, because of the strongpressure which the University ex¬erted on the city. She again accusedDowns as the man who “ran inter-ferenee” for the University of Chi¬cago; he was the “housing and re¬development co-ordinator.”Mrs. Scala reiterated her chargeagainst the civic leaders of Chicago."They have forgotten that freedomis a faith and must be defended inthe tiny precincts as well as on thegreater battlefields.”In her own political fighi against“the machine,” Mrs. Scala said thatshe was not discouraged that shehad lost twice to it. The first electionshowed a ten to one victory, but shereduced this ratio to eight to threein her second attempt.She may not run again, she said.If not, she hopes that they can findsomeone who can do a more profes¬sional job. They need an “organiza¬tion, time, and money.” So far, hercampaigns for the future are notfully organized.CCNY seeks underprivilegedstudents of college potentialThe College of the City of NewYork has begun a campaign to drawstudents from the “pockets of pover¬ty” who have strong motivation,leadership and creativity—but notthe grades required for ordinaryadmission.The university, which has beenunder attack recently for having alow percentage of Negro and PuertoRicans, announced two experimentalprograms costing $1.2 million a yearof state money to tap previouslyundiscovered college potential.One plan involves a tutorial for500 “special matriculants” in two ormore of the university’s community(two year) colleges over a five yearperiod. The program would involvespecial counseling, remedial workin summer sessions, and “limited programs” to help prepare them forone of the university’s four yearcolleges.The second plan calls for the crea¬tion of “development centers” forhigh school juniors to emphasizereading, writing, study habits andeffective speech in these schools.Each student who successfullycompletes the program, whichwould include the 11th and 12th yearof high school, would be offered ad¬mission to one of the seven units ofthe City University.Gustave G. Rosenberg, presidentof the Board of Higher Education,said that the admission of these 500special students would in no way af¬fect the number of students usuallyadmitted to community colleges.“We will make space and rent it,if necessary,” he said.DR.

The electoral system wasthe chief tool of tne Mafia. TheMafia controlled local governmentin Sicily as well as a number ofdeputies in the national Parliament.Tne national government would notinvestigate the conditions in Sicily,lor it depended on the support of theMafia deputies. Tne jury system in¬troduced by the liberal governmentfacilitated the use of bribery and in¬timidation in preventing legal actionagainst the Mafia.When Mussolini came into powerin 1922, the Mafia suffered a tre¬mendous setback, Smith said. Mus¬solini decided he could not toleratethe Mafia after a humiliating episodeinvolving a Mafia leader during avisit to Sicily in 1924.Using totalitarian techniques, thefascists quickly suppressed theworst manifestations of the Mafia.This action pleased the landowners,because Mussolini was more effi¬cient than the Mafia in preventingsocial reform. It also pleased thepeasants, who now felt safe livingin the countryside.Smith said that in 1943 the AlliedMilitary Government restored theMafia to power. Mafia leaders, inreturn for aiding the allies, vrcreplaced in control of local govern¬ment. Tne Mafia first supported aseparatist movement in Sicily, thenthe Monarchist party, and finally theChristian Democrats.The Mafia carried on counter¬revolutionary activities. Hundreds oftrade union leaders were assassinat¬ed. Once again the Mafia flourishedunder liberal government.Smith noted that in the 1950’s theMafia changed fundamentally. Theymoved into the Palermo markets in1956, and into land speculationaruond Palermo. However, Smithsaid, there were signs of hope in thesituation.In 1962, a commission was ap¬ pointed by Parliament to investigatethe Mafia. There has been a policecrackdown this year as a result ofthe accidental murder of seven po¬licemen in a booby-trapped automo¬bile.The Mafia has retarded the de¬velopment of Sicily, increased thecosts of agriculture, and made in¬dustrialization impossible. The worsteffect of the Mafia was the brutali¬zation and corruption of the peopleof Sicily, Smith concluded.Percy to speak Sun.in second tryCharles H.

It hopes, in a se¬ries of three meetings (the lattertwo of which will be held at the be¬ginning of the Spring quarter) toadjust its ears to the current con¬cern for the poor.With many others wlio have re¬acted since President Johnson's dec¬laration of war, POLIT feels thatcontinued poverty is a disgrace tothe affluent society. It holds it evi- studies in under-developed countriesas well as here, Ls especially com¬petent to provide this kind of per¬spective.But even knowing where to findthe poor and how they are situated,it is difficult to know' how tlie poorreact to their problems. The secondmeeting early next quarter will dealwith this problem. There is littlecompreheasion of the human diffi¬culties posed by poverty. One can¬not memery imagine oneself doingwithout the things that are giving lifemeaning: it is necessary to learnwhat kind of meaning the poor havedeveloped in conjunction with their no one has known who they are, theyhave nearly dropped out of our socialstructure. Unions have appeared aschampions of the poor in the past,but now the poor are outside themain framework of union policy.Automation is not only adding tothe unemployed but also making thesituation of the already poor more andr ire distressed. The economy is notorganized to cope with poverty.Social welfare also is not directlyattuned to the poor. Social security,for instance, docs not serve thosewho make almost no money duringtheir careers. Public assistance pro¬grams are incomplete in terms ofcoverage and adequacy for thosecovered. ADC. the major program, hits scarcely a friend inside socialwork or out.Also, individual casework help inhelping the poor to understand theirplight is perhaps even more back¬ward than concrete assistance. Edu¬cation today is oriented toward mid¬dle class goals and problems, espe¬cially the preparation of college stu¬dents. Slum schools and rural schoolsare backward. The contact of poorstudents with education appears tobe growing slimmer and less mean¬ingful. POLIT will get economic, so¬cial service, and educational perspec¬tives on the problems of handlingpoverty through our institutions.As it pursues this inquiry. POLITwill compile a bibliography for those interested in the problem and itsfacets.These meetings, clearly, are notdirectly action-oriented. Kather, theywill aid decisions about how to takeaction. POLIT has already heardabout JOIN’S attempt to work withthe unemployed on the West Side.On campus, many are engaged intutoring students with a backgroundof poverty. In (liicago, welfare dis¬putes are prominent; there « alsoa school crisis.On the national scene, many solu¬tions are being {imposed for poverty— retraining programs, etc. It ishoped that this series will help stu¬dents to judge the feasibility andvalue of tlie many programs.dent that poverty represents a social conc^ons ^e- CORE in basketball demonstrationfailing and that, therefore, social ac¬tion is going to be necessary to pro¬vide remedies.However, POLIT is also concernedwith tlie difficulty of discoveringwhat poverty is. Tlie {xior have be¬come anonymous. There are only-vague notions about how poverty isdefined and how many poor there are.about what poor people are like, andabout how poverty is being handledor not handled by our present insti¬tutions.POl.IT’s purpose in its meetingswill be to try to show what povertylooks like so that programs for deal¬ing with it can be evaluated.Professor Hauser will attempt tolocate the poor for further discus¬sion. It is a problem in talking aboutpoverty that it is difficult to knowjust who is meant. Income statisticsare some help but not much, forthey show little about what povertyas a way of living means. POLIT hopes to find out suchtilings as how poor family life is dif¬ferent, howT the poor's approach toproperty is different, how the mean¬ingfulness of education changes, howthe approach to a job changes, etc.To answer these kinds of questions,POLIT will look for {)eople with di¬rect personal contacts with the poor.It is inviting people from communityorganizations dealing with the {xxir.Finally, it is necessary to seehow the poor relate to our institu¬tional framework: this will be theproblem of the third POLIT meeting.It seems that just as the poor havedropped out of sight recently so that The Congress of RacialEquality (CORE) recentlystaged a non-violent demon¬stration on a University ofNorth Carolina basketball court aspart of a city-wide attempt to de¬segregate Chapel Hill, N.C. 108 per¬sons were arrested for sit-ins through¬out tlie town.A basketball game between WakeForest College and the University ofNorth Carolina was delayed as CORKmembers lay prostrate on the gym¬nasium floor. Demonstrators alsoheld lie-ins at tlie building's exits. Two massive sit-ins occurred atFranklin and Columbia streets, Chap¬el Hill's busiest intersection. Whilebeing carried to police vans, thedemonstrators sang “We Shall NotBe Moved.” Conjunctive protestsblocked key highways and surroundedsegregated restaurants.CORE demonstrators, pledged tonon-retaliation, and a television re¬porter were assaulted by white on¬lookers on Pittsboro Road. Police ac¬tion prevented serious bloodshed.Those arrested in the day-longdemonstration brought to 544 thenumber of civil rights advocates ar¬rested in Oiapel Hill since the ac¬ tum campaign began in mid-Septem¬ber.In other developments of tlie civilrights movement, 26,400 students outof a total enrollment of 83.500 stayedout of school last Tuesday in Cincin¬nati, Ohio. Tlie school boycott wasco-sponsored by the local CORE andNAACP chapters.Tlie Cleveland Board of Educationended protest action of the UnitedFreedom Movement (UFM) byagreeing to integrate 800 Negro stu¬dents into three East Side schools.On February 3rd, UFM had stageda night-long sit in at the School Boardoffices.ExcitingThings Happen at Ford Motor Company !Indeed, there are all sorts of classi¬fications of poor: there are migrantworkers, tenant farmers, {joor miners,urban unemployed, and urban poorin poor and transient jobs; there areaged pjor and young poor : there areblack ixx»r and white poor: thereare alcoholic poor. Classifications ofthis type will be explored. Also, therelations of these classifications willbe explored. What common featureshas the poverty of these severalgroups? Into what different groupsmay one person, in tlie course ofhis life, kill?Then too, we need to recognizethe difference between our povertyproblem and that of the rest of theworld. American poor are. in asense, well off when compared to themasses in the under developed worll.The problem in America is part ofa very different context and has avery different nature.

Anton Chekhov’s "The Three Sis¬ters" in a new translation byHyman Passin, at The Last Stage.A former inhabitant ofRussia who has been askedto review Chekhov’s “TheThree Sisters,” presented byan essentially amateur group, facesa hard task. Having grown up inthe great tradition of the MoscowArt Theatre, the first one to dis¬cover Chekhov in Russia, it is hardto adjust oneself to lesser standards.One’s thoughts along these linesmight be tempered by the recollec¬tion that the first production ofChekhov’s “The Seagull," by theAlexandria Theatre in the royal cityof St. Petersburg, was an abysmalfailure. It was only the MoscowArt Theatre and Stanislavsky thatretrieved Chekhov’s fortune.Whatever my recollections, I wasmost pleasantly surprised by Sun¬day’s performance of ‘‘The ThreeSisters.” produced under the mostmodest of external circumstances.The play showed ample evidence ofa concerted and well directed efforton the part of the entire cast. Itwas obvious that the actors hadlearned their roles well and hadspent a great deal of time in re¬hearsal. They had arrived at adefinite interpretation of the play,which permitted the gradual build¬up of impending drama. In short,the longer I watched the perform¬ance, the more and more l felt my¬self engrossed in the progress ofthe plot.It is difficult for me to single outthe merits of the individual actors.Most of them did very well. Thethree sisters were very convincingand appealing. The men. particu¬larly the members of the militaryorganization, were fine. The schoolteacher was excellent. Perhaps thebrother of the three sisters wassomewhat weaker, but his role is amore thankless one.On the whole, I would say thatA Complete Source ofARTISTS' MATERIALSWe Specialize inDuplicating Paper &Envelopes of All SizesDUNCAN’S1305 E. 53rd St.HY 3-4111SUPERIORITY COMPLEXNOW SELLING FOR .50So you’re not a football hero, a big Brain, or a hotHot-rodder.

They are also availablebefore each 8:30 pm performance atthe door.SLICE spiced; spice intactby Stephen BrownThe thematic roots ofSLICE OF PARADISE liedeep within a tradition ofheroic tragedy that is as oldas drama itself. The play is essen¬tially a penetrating study of theconflict between man and fate, andthe inevitable resolution of that con¬flict.I tell this to the director and staffof SLICE OF PARADISE. Theylaugh. Because this seems to bethe common reaction to my prof¬fered interpretations, I thought II Another scene from SLICE should explain the meaning of thedrama, whose essence has been per¬verted in the current production.The theme of SLICE OF PARA¬DISE is the artistic conscience inall its various moods and nuances.Through an ingenious use of sym¬bols, I have transferred the soul ofthe artist into the person of a resortowner. This transfer of essence isthe cornerstone of the avant merdetheater to which I subscribe.In fact, the whole play can betaken as a vast allegory, in whichthe stage represents a stage and theaudience represents an audience (amerger of fact and symbol neverbefore achieved in drama, I maymodestly add).But what is the reaction of thePhilistines of production to the deli¬cate net of symbol I wove? I toldyou. They laughed. Indeed, theirmis-interpretation of my dramaticintent extended far beyond the the¬matic material of the play. It isonly to be expected that, during thecourse of artistic evolution, an au¬thor will decide upon the techniquesof production best suited to his ma¬terial. Who else would know theproper means of communication withhis audience?I conceived of sets constructed en¬tirely of cheesecloth and spiderwebs, symbolizing the imperma¬nence of man and his works. Butthey insisted upon lavish scenery,symbolizing only the ingenuity of thedesigner. I wished the actors cos¬ tumed in fig leaves and Greekmasks, to indicate the essential unityof theater and life, illusion and re¬ality.But they would have expanses ofcotton and muslin, cleverly contrivedto resemble—of all things—clothing.I had hoped that the entire pro¬duction would be underscored byCantinelli’s “Fugue for Two Jew’sHarps and an Inverted Fingerbowl,”played with Spartan monotony. Butthey decided upon sprightly tunes,orchestrated for a veritable host ofinstruments.The lyrics I had hoped to writewould have been lofty and poetic,with lines like, “Death is an enemaon Tuesday night.” But in thisaspect, too, were my intentionsfoiled. And the title. SLICE OFPARADISE — was ever anythingmore ridiculous appended to anyself-respecting work of art?A title should arise from the fabricof the work, and yet be interestingenough to attract an audience. Isuggested “My Fair Lady,” or. per¬haps, “South Pacific,” but thesewere ignored and the current blas¬phemy settled upon.In view of the indignities that havebeen heaped upon this unfortunateauthor, I urge you not to see SLICEOF PARADISE. Stay away fromwhat has degenerated into an eve¬ning of hilarity. Show the Barbariansof Broadway that we, the avantmerde playwright and his audience,have an inalienable right to bore¬dom, and the enjoyment thereof. Jose Jose seems somewhat less than happy as ShirleySavage sings her Spanish serenade, "I Am Yours." SteveEge and Linda Handelman portray the two lovers involvedin a rather unique love affair.Director Mast explains SLICE theme: like life itselfby Gerald MastThe theme of SLICE OFPARADISE is as old as lifeitself. As a matter of fact,that is its theme—life itself.Well, not exactly life itself, butsomething very much like it. Per¬haps life not itself. Of course, whatexactly is self nowadays, if youknow what I mean. However, Idigress. Let us return to the sub¬ject under foot.SLICE OF PARADISE Is a re¬versal of many of the mythic fic¬tions which exemplify our contem¬ porary culture or Kultur or societedepending upon the language youspeak. As Greek myth embodied theideals of the Greek polis (the rootof the modem word for law enforce¬ment officers), so we have mythsin our civilization. The artist oftenreverses and manipulates thesemythic constructs for supremeaesthetic effects?This is the case with SLICE OFPARADISE, often vulgarly abbrevi¬ated as SLICE. Mr. Brown reversesseveral stereotypic mythic formulae—to wit: the famed legends of Ho¬ratio Alger and the Bobbsey Twins. Whereas these myths demonstratethat true goodness always triumphsin the end, SLICE OF PARADISEdemonstrates that some badness andsome goodness mixed always comesout partially bad and partially goodin the end.This less clear-cut ending is morerealistic, for the modern artist doesnot paint in stark blacks and whitesbut in varying shades of grey—orblue, or red, or yellow. As a matterof fact, the modern artist doesn’tpaint at all. But I digress. Let usreturn to our subject. Or rather, letus find our subject. In addition to the theme and su¬perstructure of the play, we mightspend a moment discussing it interms of its genre (or type, if youare unaware of literary lingo).SLICE OF PARADISE is a musicalplay. Aristotle discussed the usageof music in the drama in terms ofMelody. Hence, those people whofeel that musical comedy is an in¬ferior, modern art-form must takenotice that it was invented by Aris¬totle. How else could producershave obtained the perception to mixmusic and drama except by classi¬cal authority? So we see that SLICE OF PARA¬DISE is rooted in the main currentof the history of the drama, anddelves into the moist mud of theworld’s great issues to shape thehard mould of its intellectualthemes. Hence, SLICE OF PARA¬DISE is a kind of mud-pie — thecoarsest materials of our planet areconcentrated into a succulent shape.However, if we try to analyze ourpie too carefully, to taste its indi¬vidual portions, we destroy thebeauty of the art work. We also geta mouthful of mud. But I digress.Let’s see, where were we . . .CHICAGO MAROON • Feb. 21, 1964
