To skip dinnerin fast for freedom- Sponsors of the nation-wideFast for Freedom are askingstudents to skip supper tomor¬row and contribute the moneythus saved.According to the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, themoney will go to unemployed south¬ern Negroes who have been cut fromtl* relief lists for registering tovote.Residents of Pierce Tower andB-J may sign pledges not to eatthis evening. The University willtransfer the amount that would havebeen used for meal preparation toSNCC.Students living in InternationalHouse or the New Dorms can givetheir money to the Fast for Free¬dom representative in the diningarea. Apartment-dwellers can con¬tribute the cost of a meal to collec¬tors stationed at Mandel hall andCobb all day tomorrow.Tlie Council of Chaplains at theUniversity sent a letter to UCPresident George Wells Beadlepraising the University’s cooperationin the “Fast for Freedom’’ cam¬paign. expressing hope that die Uni¬versity will continue efforts in the“movement for justice and equal¬ ity,” and that students will partici¬pate in the fast.The text of the chaplains’ letterfollows.“We, the chaplains at the Univer¬sity of Chicago wish to express ourrecognition and appreciation of theUniversity’s action enabling studentsliving in the dormitories to partici¬pate in the Fast for Freedom.We hope that all students willavail themselves of this opportunityto identify with tlie American strug¬gle for freedom and human dignityby providing concrete support to thefreedom movement and to the alle¬viation of hunger in the South.“We further hope that this presentdemonstration of cooperation andconcern will be reflected in all poli¬cies and activities of the Universityof Chicago, and that the Universityin all its affairs shall support themovement for justice and equalityin the nation and in our commu¬nity.”The Student Non-Violent Coordi¬nating Committee works throughstudent protest groups and 20 fieldrepresentatives in the South. Thestaff informs Negroes of voting ageabout their Contitutional rights, ex¬plains the requirements for registra¬tion in the various areas, andaccompanies people to the polls. V-ol. 72 — No. 37 University of Chicago, Tuesday, Feb. 25, 1964 31BOARD MEMBER, EDUCATOR INTERVIEWEDQuestion effect of boycottHauser talks on povertyin U.S. at polit caucusProfessor Phillip M. Haus¬er. chairman of the dept, ofsociology, spoke on Sunday ata POLIT caucus on “Who aretlie Poor in the United States.’'The problem of poverty in the U.S.has come to the forefront of attentionbecause it is now a problem whichtile poor themselves have come torecognize. Since they can now seethe affluence of a part of the worldthey’ve come to realize their ownmaterial lackings.Hauser gave a basic definition ofAmerican poverty. He used as hiscriterion annual family income belowS2.5U0 a year. This standard shouldl>e compared with the U.S. Bureau ofLabor which sets $6,000 a year perfamily as the “minimum decencylevel.”He then gave a statistical analysisof the poor in the U.S. 50% of tlie non¬while population of the U.S., can bedefined as poor. Furthermore. 62%of the non-whites of the South arepoor. This should be compared withthe percentage for the white pooron a national level which is 17.9%.Hauser concluded that the pathwaystor social mobility which were opento tlie American urban newcomerof the 19th and early 20tii century areno longer open to the newest in¬migrant — the Negro.Another category of poor whichHauser spoke of were those trappedin distressed areas. He cited the ex¬ ample of a Kentucky man who whenasked why he didn’t leave answeredthat he had tried and couldn’t be¬cause he could not read the roadsigns.Hauser discussed several categoriesof voluntary rind involuntary poor.He felt that the group of involuntarypoor especially urban, will continueto grow. He stated that there has“been relatively little change in in¬come distribution since 1950. He em¬phasized the magnitude of displace¬ment of urban workers sometimesreaching as high as 50,000 at a time.Referring to a book by MichaelHarrington, Tlie Other America,Hauser pointed out that the welfareand pension programs in the U.S.have been basically middle class incharacter and have done little toalleviate the problems of the poor.He concluded that the solutions tothe problem of the poor in the U.S.may require a restructuring of theeconomic and social organization ofthe U.S.The POLIT executive committeefollowing the caucus made severalpolicy statements. It gave its un¬qualified support to the second schoolboycott. It also urged students tosupport the Fast for Freedom spon¬sored by UC CORE. POLIT alsoreaffirmed its opposition to the HouseUn-American Activities Committeewhose appropriation is to come tothe floor this week. by Ellis LevinThe Negro community andcivil rights leadership facetoday’s school boycott deeplysplit over its desirability andthe effectiveness of staging a secondand less spectacular repeat of lastOctober 22. according to the firsthand observations of a member ofthe UC faculty. In a related develop¬ment, Warren Bacon, a member ofthe Chicago Board of Education,blamed Superintendent Willis formuch of the segregation problemswhich exists today.The faculty member declared thatthe split over the boycott was due toa reappraisal on the part of manycivil rights groups. On the one handare those in favor of the boycott,led by Lawrence Landry, a formerUC student, including the more mili¬tant groups, CORE and SNCC.On the other hand are the UrbanLeague and the NAACP, who lookfor nothing significant to come fromthe boycott. They see the courts asthe most effective means of achiev¬ing integration in the schools and aresupporting the suit of a group ofWoodlawn parents against the Boardof Education.In this case, being tried by JudgeMarovitz, a five man panel has beenestablished, headed by Philip Hauser,chairman of the department of Soci¬ology, which will report back to thecourt on March 31 with suggestionsfor changes in the present segregatedschool boundaries.In the middle are the religiousgroups which quietly sympathize withthe objectives of the boycott but,which for the most part, are remain¬ing inactive. The faculty memberalso suggested that it might be inter¬esting to interview Rev. Brazer, headof TWO, in order to confirm his in¬activity in this present project.This second boycott should notsucceed, he declared, because of thedivision within the ranks of the civilrights groups, but moreover becausethe element of direct action has lost its novelty in Chicago. Those opposedto the boycott are organized them¬selves this time under the leadershipof the organization and AldermanCampbell of the 24th ward. Theyhave brought in thousands of signa¬tures of parents who declared thatthey would send their children toschool despite the boycott. In its zealto proceed with the boycott, the civilrights groups favoring the boycottignored an attempt by Marovitz tobring them and the Board of Educa¬tion together for another meeting.This person wonders what actuallycan come out of the boycott especial¬ly if it fails. He believes that Landryhas “boxed himself in in this situa¬tion,” and was forced to go aheadwith the boycott against the betterjudgment of many.The inherent reason the officials ofthe Chicago Public Schools favorsegregated schools, hi his opinion,boils down to economics and preju¬dice. White parents just do not wanttheir children attending classes withNegroes, and their influence has astrong impact on public officials.There is a deeply felt distrust of theNegro race, even by most “liberal”whites, he commented. Economical¬ly, the school system does not haveadequate funds to run their schools.The obvious result will be that theNegro, being a weak minority, willsrifer most.Mayor Daley is caught in the mid¬dle in this situation, the facultymember feels. He is trying to satisfyboth whites and Negroes. He, how¬ever, has little control over theBoard of Education, which functionsas an autonomous body and evenless over the forceful Superintendentof the Chicago Public Schools, Ben¬jamin C. Willis, whom even theBoard of Education cannot control.In liis opinion, this action is partof the second phase of the civil rightsmovement, education being con¬sidered a key factor to the elevationof the status of the Negro. The firstphase concluded with the March onWashington last August. The continu¬ation of this second phase will be in the courts.Warren Bacon, a member of theChicago Board of Education, com¬mented over the weekend that he“deplored the conditions which cre¬ated the need for the boycott.” Hefelt that the board should have donemore to alleviate the conditions ofdiscrimination existing in the schools,including school boundaries, distribu¬tion of staff, and the ways in whichminorities are depicted in school text¬books.“The board,” he declared, “ap¬pears to be deliberately ignoring theproblem of segregation, hoping thatit will go away. They are puttingtheir heads in the sand.” They havedone nothing without pressure fromthe outside. The five man panel theboard approved did not come aboutexcept through court action. Theboundary commission did not occuruntil after an out of court settlementresulting from a law suit. The inte¬gration statement came after manymonths of charges and countercharges, pressure, and one schoolboycott. I brought up this idea a yearago,” Bacon declares, “but no actionwas taken on it.”The survey committee, headed byEducation professor Robert Havig-hurst also came about after mucheffort and activity by many groupsfor upwards of two years. Even afterHavighurst’s confirmation as chair¬man was put off for several boardmeetings. It took court action forthe board to even officially admitthat conditions of de facto segrega¬tion existed in the schools “withoutcomplicity.”At the Washburn Trade School, anapprentice school run jointly by laborgroups, employee’s associations, andthe Board of Education who selectthose who will be admitted, less thanone per cent of the enrollment isNegro. “It is alleged that it is ex¬tremely difficult for Negroes to en¬roll. This has long been a thorn inthe side of the Negro community.”The president of the Board of Educa¬tion himself suggested that this situ-(Continued on page 8)Mikva raps legislature on povertyPercy names economy aschief Illinois problemby John Beal“The greatest problem nowfacing Illinois is lack of eco¬nomic growth,” declaredCharles H. Percy Sundaynight speaking to the Young Repub¬lican dub in Ida Noyes Hall. Percy,a UC graduate and trustee, is seek¬ing the Republican nomination forGovernor of Illinois.Enough johs are 'not being createdand enough people are not beingtrained for the jobs that are avail¬able, Percy charged. Illinois collegegraduates are going to other statesto work, and Illinois companies arebuilding new plants in other states,rather than Illinois, according toPercy, who is chairman of the Boardof the Bell & Howell Corp.Local communities and countiesnnust become more aware of justwhat their problem is and to beginto do something about it, he said.The schools, roads, and housing areamong the areas in which improve¬ment is often necessary for commu¬nities to present themselves favor¬ ably to prospective industry. Percysaid that it is only through local im¬provement and initiative that Illi¬nois can increase its economicgrowth.One important result of increasedeconomic growth would be a de¬crease in public aid, Percy ex¬plained. He said that more jobswould be created, but the ultimateanswer to welfare is education andrehabilitation, he continued.The present system of Federal in¬come tax and local property tax isa happy medium and ought to bepreserved, Percy felt.If he were a Congressman, Percysaid, he would vote for the civilrights hill. He told how he helpedthe passage of the Illinois fair em¬ployment bill, but said he opposesopen occupancy because he drawsa line between business and privateproperty.In the area of birth control, Percysaid he would do all that he couldto stimulate the dissemination of in¬formation through private agencies. The poor have now largelybecome both invisible and dis¬enfranchised, according toAbner Mikva, recently re¬signed member of the Illinois statelegislature, in a speech Thursdaynight to the Chicago chapter of theNational Association of Social Work¬ers (NASW) on the “Politics of Pov¬erty.”As a consequence of their invisi¬bility and disenfranchisement, it ispossible for the legislature to dis¬regard the plight of the poor; indeed,Mikva said it has even become pop¬ular to conduct a “war on the poor”as opposed to the nationally de¬clared “war on poverty.”Mikva said that the legislators inSpringfield fell into two classes:those who believed that relieferswere being coddled by the state andthose who believed that their con¬stituents believed reliefers were be¬ing coddled. The belief that welfareprograms claim a disproportionatepart of state income persists despitethe fact that the proportion of thebudget devoted to public aid, once30%, is now only 15%.As representative of attitudes ofmany legislators toward public as¬sistance, Mikva cited one member’scomments that relief was undesir¬able because it sapped individual in¬itiative and encouraged illegitimacy,thus facilitating the breeding of themost unfit portion of the population.In order to further point up theattitudes in the legislature, Mikva pointed out pieces of legislationbrought up and seriously consideredthough not passed at the last session.One would have ..taken away theright to vote for persons on publicassistance. Another would increasethe residency requirement to threeyars. Still another would take awaythe residency of any one out of thestate for 60 days.Mikva pointed out that althoughthe people on assistance are encour¬aged to go where better conditionsare, this proposal would discouragethem by making sure that if theyfailed to find a place outside thestate, they would be totally at a loss.Another proposal called for provid¬ing no additional aid for illegitimatesmore than one. (Mikva pointed outthat this proposal was aimed at thechild more than it was at the irre¬sponsible mother.)The “revised standards” (cuts) inpublic assistance levels, which haveprovoked the hunger marches inChicago, grew out of this kind ofatmosphere, according to Mikva.They were put into effect despitetestimony of social workers that suchstandards were woefully inadequateand that the so-called scientificallyfigured minimum was not enough.Before Mikva’s talk began, anNASW committee reported on amenu it had prepared for an ADCfamily of four. It was computed thatthey would be able to afford 17c perperson per meal with three meals aday.Even assuming the ability da wide comparative slipping, he said,the menu was monotonous, skimpy,and nutritionally deficient (lacking inVitamin C). Typical meat for dinnerincluded one hot dog per person, atamale pie with half a pound ofground beef (for four), and a onepound chuck steak.Mikva called upon social workersto inform people of the real situationof public assistance and the poor.As evidence of the current publiclack of sympathy, he said that whenhe and his family went on the publicassistance diet for a week, the mailhe received about it was highly criti¬cal.He was charged with encouragingthe poor to complain, and his wifewas charged with being a poor man¬ager for not being able to live com¬fortably on the budget. It must bemade clear, he said, that it will benecessary to spend money to reha¬bilitate; that it will not be easy, andthat these programs are not magic.After Mikva’s talk, Professor Eld-ward Schwartz of the SSA, a mem¬ber of a panel of re-actors, inquiredwhether Mikva did not think federalaction important.Mikva replied that he felt it im¬portant that the state take initiative.He described himself as a “states’responsibilityer” as opposed to a“states’ righter.” For one thing, Illi¬nois is a wealtliy state and wouldsuffer in being lumped in with thepoorer states in the present tendencytoward uniform federal programs.EditorialBoycott incorrect approach to school problemsWill the second boycott of Chicagopublic schools accomplish anything?Will it be worth the loss of a schoolday to the children who are kept outof school? Will it be worth the legalaction which State’s Attorney Wardhas threatened? Will this second ef¬fort at civil disobedience result inany significant change in policy bythe School Board?We do not believe so.The motivations of the sponsorsare, it goes without saying, beyondreproach. It has been demonstratedbeyond question that Chicago’s publicschools are segregated, whether byconscious intent, as certain civilrights militants charge, or not.It is equally clear that all-Negroschools are not provided with ade¬quate facilities or instruction. Theproblem is undeniably a grave one.But we cannot agree that a boycottis the correct way to approach theproblem.The leaders of the School Board have offered to sit down with thesponsors of the boycott and discussthe issues which have been broughtup. In their reply to the demandspublished by the boycott leaders, theBoard said it agreed with all points,and was indeed already taking actionon some of them, with one importantexception: It refused to fire Super¬intendent Benjamin Willis on the de¬mand of such a group.It should also be clear that Super¬intendent Willis’s arrogance and re¬fusal to co-operate, plus the incred¬ible show of childishness he put onin his mock 7*esignation, have notexactly won him the confidence ofsupport of the public. We do notfeel, however, that boycotting theschools will accomplish the aim ofousting him; instead an admittedlyslow process of persuasion should bepressed upon the Board, if the civilrights groups really think his ousterwould perform miraculous changes.Evidently, the civil rights groups have decided if they can’t have theskin of their favorite ogre, they willrefuse all offers of reasonable dis¬cussion on the other points. Will thisfacilitate attaining their ends? Itshould be clear that it will not.The leaders of the Co-ordinatingCouncil of Community Organizations(CCCO), the boycott sponsors, havebecome split over certain tactics ad¬vocated by the boycott’s most ardentinstigators. Indeed, separate groupshave been formed which actively op¬pose the second boycott, notablyAlderman Kenneth Campbell, propo¬nent of the campaign to get parentsto pledge that they will keep theirchildren home.With such lack of clear-cut sup¬port, should the boycott’s sponsorshave insisted upon their plan? Itseems to have been unwise to goahead, when the plans have resultedin such strife. This will certainly nothelp the position of the civil rightsgroups in future bargaining. In contrast with the ill-advisedboycott is the idea of a “Fast for.Freedom,’’ which, as we pointed outlast Tuesday (unfortunately in arather similar connection), will re¬sult in tangible and, most important,immediate help to Southern Negroeswho have been cut off from publicaid for the unemployed through themachinations of bigoted white of¬ficials.We strongly urge students andfaculty members to participate in theFast, both in giving money, and infollowing the spirit of the day byskipping the evening dinner.We must, however, urge people togive a second thought to the ideaof participating in the poorly organ¬ized boycott, which, we feel, will donothing except deprive school chil¬dren of a day’s education, and createmistrust among the persons withwhom the civil rights groups mustdeal: the School Board and the public.Manager backs boycott:says protests won’t stopToday’s editorial hits flagrantlyoverlooked the significance of thesecond school boycott. The point isthat parents of children attendingpublic schools in Chicago are notgoing to stop demonstrating untilthe school system has been changed.They are sack and tired of defactosegregation and inferior schools.It is ridiculous to say that thesecond school boycott means thathundreds of children are being keptout of school for no positive reasons.The editor said the first schoolboycott gave Chicago residents acoherent, telling footliold in theirstruggle against the School Board.However, he neglected to think outthe full ramifications of this state¬ment. A foothold is not enough.'Parents and civil right groups aretrying to show the city power struc¬ture that they will not be deceivedby a “sugar pill”; that they will notgive in until positive steps are taken.The second schpol boycott is only asmall part of tha struggle. Parentsand civil rights groups must expresstheir desires about good schools.If school boycotts are effective (al¬though the Honorable Claude W. B.Holman doesn’t like them), thenthey will continue until the goal ofgood public schools for all childrenis achieved.HARRIS S. ’JAFFE,BUSINESS MANAGER,CHICAGO MAROONCollege must welcomediversity of valuesTO THE EDITOR:Listening to Dean Wick speak be¬fore the student government on im¬ages of the College provided manypuzzles for me, but perhaps this isonly because I went to Northwestern.Firstly, the rural recruitment pro¬gram is alleged to add variety tothe student body, and perhaps thisis true. This program seems to meto be an example of a concept famil¬iar to economists, namely, survivor¬ship. This concept, originally ex¬pounded by Mill in his Principlessays, roughly, “do your gettingwhere your competitors aren’t orcan’t.” The College’s competition isnot only from the sunny West or theIvy East but from rising schools inthe Midwest such as Knox and Carle-ton (small liberal arts), the Univer¬sity of Michigan and Northwestern(Big Ten), or even Harrison-Hal-eted (in the future).Dean Wick claimed at one pointthat the College welcomes diversity.At another point he read the Nation¬al Opinion Research Center’s reportwhich indicates that the College hasan overwhelming proportion ol “in¬tellectual-artistic” graduates.Is, for example, Yale poor be¬cause it does not have so high a rat¬ing on this index, or, rather, does Yale just have greater diversity?Is the vice-president of the HarrisBank less intelligent (inherently orenvironmentally) because he is notpublished by the Free Press? Interms of a general education pro¬gram is Plato useless for the futuregovenor of Illinois but wonderful forthe future director of Argonne?The fact that there are no “cen¬ters of power” in the College re¬flects this homogeneity because simi¬larity among the students mitigatesconflicts of interest within the stu¬dent body. There is no quarrelwhere almost everyone agrees. Thislack of diversity is characterized bysuch aspects of the College as “in-tellectualism only” and conspicuousabstention in clothes and leisuretime activities, and has effectivelythwarted the strong relationship(which is emphatically claimed toexist) between the College and so¬cial change.The result of the College's con¬formity of non-conformance hasmade it, especially in terms of im¬ages, alienated from such change asthe Civil Rights Movement. Alien¬ated in the sense that most of theupwardly mobile Negroes have a de¬sire to participate in society’s posi¬tions of power and responsibilityfrom which they have so long beendenied. As a result, not surpris¬ingly, a disproportionately smallnumber of Negroes apply to theCollege.To conclude, if the College is go¬ing to effectively compete with ma¬jor schools for the basic input of agood undergraduate program; that is,intelligence and diversity, it mustwelcome diversity which means avariety of value orientations withinthe student body.FRANK STAFFORDStudents should extendlearning beyond classTO THE EDITOR:Dean Wick the other night feltsatisfied, it appeared, with the sci¬entific-artistic bent of the studentshere and with their achievements.That’s fine for grades and futurestatus and something, but its pain¬fully evident when one is in thedormitories and shops that eventhough many very nice, sweet, andwell scrubbed people perform bril¬liantly on exams, many of themare complete vegetables when itcomes to wrestling with fundamentalissues of philisophy, politics, and thelike.They are bad cases of people let¬ting school interfere with theirlearning. I think that if there is any¬thing that ought to be distinctiveabout this place it should be a bitingspirit of criticism.Some fellow named Baldwin gavea lecture at Mandel Hall last yearat the end of F.O.T.A. about therole of the artist in society. He saidsome things about how the writershould show people what they can beand can do. In the discussion period, he clarified his outlook on the pres¬ent general social situation in theU S. by saying “we must stop beinga nation of virgins.”He meant by this that we muststop being innocent about what isgoing on in America socially, racially,and the like; about some disastrousconsequences of our individual ac¬tions: and about what we can doabout it all. I wish here to discusshis argument with respect to theCollege.Are we a college of virgins? Iwant to make no comparisons be¬tween “old” and "new” students,the performances of- past and cur¬rent classes, the sociological habitsof the different student generationsor any other accidental strain oftraits. However, with respect tothose “accursed questions” andthose men who raised hell, skirts,and eyebrows from the fifth cen¬tury B.C. down to the present inorder to answer them for themselves,are we the actual heirs to theirspirit, we who attend the Universityof Chicago with all of its libraries,intellectual contacts, facilities, andscholars in this rather late year of1964?Are we strongly committed toknowing Truth, Freedom, and Jus-sice, whatever they are? An intel¬lectual seems to me to be someonewho is actively honest to the hilt.He is someone who always seeksfirst to analyze and then to synthe¬size. If we students only came hereto pick up some usefull skills andfacts, then I say we are lying toourselves and all that has ever beengood and can ever be good.I hope we would be intellectualmen and women daring together tolive, instead of useful, efficient, pleas-ant-tempered parts of a vast, spec¬tacular, and exhausting social amoe¬ba. Where is that attitude that in¬sists that all procedures and institu¬tions ought continually to justifytheir existence? I dare say that in¬tellectual apathy is certain death toa college even though some apathymay be a good thing for a society.Why isn’t this college reading, dis¬cussing, and criticizing until it drops?Only a handful of people read morebooks than are required for theircourses. Who reads Voltaire, Niet-sche, Hiedegger, Buber, Rieman orMeinecke on his own calling? Veryfew little magazines are cited anddiscussed ever.Only YPSL shouted colonialismwhen the Panama problem arose.Are we going to let them, of all peo¬ple, be the last word on the subject?Who carefully discussed the ultimatepolitical and revolutionary implica¬tions of the overseas.Peace Corpsefforts when they were here thisweek? Philip M. Hauser gets awaywith an awful lot when he says thatthe urban Negro problem is essen¬tially the same as any other immi¬grant group problem that Chicagohas had, and yet there is no uproaramong the students.I certainly am the last to say thatwe ought to do everything, over¬reach our possibilities, but where is this community of thinkers thatwe're so proud of? Who is trying?You certainly cannot call “A Sliceof Paradise” a probing into the na¬ture of things. A major reason thatHans J. Morgenthau was asked tospeak in Mandel Hall on the Tuesdayafter President Kennedy’s death wasa promotional one for a student or¬ganization.I told David Bakan one time thatI came here to examine and to faceup to tile world in all of its harsh¬ness, limitations, and possibilities be¬cause so much of my self had beenthe result of accident and contingen¬cy. If I had been in a rare moodwhen I answered Mr. Bakan’s ques¬tion of why I came to Chicago, Iwould have recited the first twosentences of The Myth of Sisyphusby albert Camus. I would have saidthat I came here to judge whetherlife is or is not worth living. Andlet me tell you now that if I findthat it isn’t you’re all going with me.NOEL CRISCULAEncounters oppositionin integrating communityTO THE EDITOR:Since recent events in the civilrights sliuggle here in Chapel Hill,North Carolina, have come into na¬tional prominence I would like,speaking on behalf of an interestedgroup of citizens in our community,to inform others of the situation.Particularly, 1 believe your readerswould be interested in a recent de¬velopment about which many of ourcitizens are deeply concerned, a re¬striction by the town Board of Aider-men of the opportunity for lawfulprotest.Many of us understand that it Isdifficult to obtain unanimity on thepace that integration and desegrega¬tion should take in our community;however, we are deeply troubledthat not only are civil rights infringedupon in our community but at thistime there has been a gesture towardlimiting civil liberties, which is asituation of even deeper implica¬tions.A principal goal of the integrationmovement here has been the de¬segregation of all places of public ac¬commodation in the town. A publicaccommodations ordinance, thoughsupported by a petition of two thou¬sand signatures, was tabled by thetown Board of Aldermen in favor ofsettling up a mediating committeewhich has failed to yield tangibleresults.Many of our long-suffering and pa¬tient citizens of both races havewatched events with a hopeful andprayerful eye, and have delavedforms of protest and demonstrationshoping that the town Board of Aider-men would see fit to legislate on be¬half of civil rights. With the nation¬al backing of CORE, however, ourcommunity, since December, haswitnessed protest marches, sit-downsand sit-ins which have led to severalhundred arrests.Picketing has become one of themany visible alternatives that en¬ lightened citizens of our communityhave taken to call the community todecision and to give witness to itsideals. On February 10 the Ch.ipclHill Board of Aldermen voted tolimit picketing to the hours between7:00 am and 7:00 pm. The amend¬ment passed, 4-3, with mayor east¬ing the deciding vote. When t Isread again at the next meeting onFebruary 25, a simple majority willsuffice to put it into effect.The objections to the measure areas follows:1. It restricts the constitutionalright to protest.2. Instead of decreasing the amountof racial tension it will increase thestrife in our community because nowthe people protesting against segre¬gation have been joined by many• others protesting against this seriousinfraction of civil liberties.3. An ordinance which would limitpicketing would close off one of thefew courses of action open to peopleracial justice who feel that theirwho want to work in the interest ofright to express themselves a pri¬vate citizens in a non-violent strate-by has been curtailed.4.Picketing, aimed at segregatedestablishments, is often most effec¬tive when it takes place at nighi be¬cause at that time large numbers ofstudents can join the protest move¬ment.A large number of citizens, dis¬satisfied with the lack of any recentprogress in desegregating places ofpublic accommodation, want to pressfor progress and apply pressureswithin the law. They have not elm-sen to join in civil disobedience, butrather to use the clearly legal andtime honored means of picketing,boycott and legal demonstrations.Now, in Chape-1 Hill, North Carolinathey are restricted even in thesetime-honored rights while the Boardof Aldermen of our community con¬tinues to put off action on a legal so¬lution to the problem.Uncertainty about the town's fu¬ture has taken place due to thetown’s failure to act effectively.Many progressive people have beenfrustrated in their effort to achieveracial harmony through peaceful andlegal means. An ordinance has beenproposed which is an invitation tocivil disobedience and the possibili¬ty of violence.We thought that your readerswould like to be apprised of thesedevelopments.RABBI JOSEPH H.

Among them, however, in¬tellectuality was not totally' reconciledto social convention. Mme. Beadledebated the merits and methods ofthe twist, and her spouse gracefullyfielded ques av on the forthcominglibrary ("Perhaps we should put it onStagg Field and leave the trackaround it.”) Wick, however, was ap¬parently overcome by the social set¬ting. He excused himself at one point“to go and rescue my wife.”Meanwhile, the bands played on:I-ane Emery’s Orchestra, which dis¬patched a standard bill of fare,catered to The Dancers, while BobHodge’s Jazz Trio, and their occultvariations, mesmerized The Listeners.Apparently, however, the bands didnot maintain everyone’s attention:Vaile De Neveu, Student Activitiessecretary, told with amusement of thecouple she hail seen off in a comer ina “killing clinch.” But Slice of Paradise time wasapproaching rapidly, as one couldtell by looking in the program, whichballyhooed the Wash Prom of “Jan¬uary 22, 1964.” Being obedient aswell as spiffy socialites, all heeded thenotice and set up shop in the CloisterClub.When the cast of the show arrivedafter a delay of several minutes,improvisation was added to the listof virtues that the socialites possessed.Courtesy also. The actors neededchairs to rest their weary limbs, andthe socialites willingly obliged.

They weresober, tidy (spiritually if not tech¬nically), a trifle slow, and about assnappy as soggy cornflakes.It might seem harsh, complainingabout hearing one of Mozart’s lessfrequently performed scores, espe¬cially since the performance was notreally below the standards of ourEpoch of Insipid Mozart. None theless, it’s disturbing to see conductorand soloist toiling out of duty ratherthan devotion, thus missing all thefun.After intermission came a magni¬ficent performance of Ravel's minia¬ture Mother Goose Suite. Color andsimplicity are the elements in thisapothetosis of naivete, qualities alltoo often lacking in our orchestras.The Chicagoans, however, were fullyequal to the occasion, spinning thedelicate strands of sound withcharm and. unexpectedly, under¬statement. The conductor’s com¬plete control was never conspicuous;the music seemed to drift effort¬lessly of its own accord.The evening roared to a finalewith both suites from Falla’s TheThree Cornered Hat. At first, con¬ductor and I were in complete sym¬pathy, both completely uninterested. But toward the end, Martinon foundan opportunity to exhibit the brutePower of his orchestra, bringing thework to an appropriately shatteringapocalypse, reminiscent of, althoughnot equal to, those glorious daysknown as “The Past.”It s difficult to predict the orches¬tra's fate, especially since Martinonchose to return with such a light¬hearted program. Next week (apuzzling conglomeration runningfrom Johann Strauss to Webern,through Tchaikovsky and Hinde¬mith) will probably give a betterindication of what is to be done.String quartets by Haydn andBeethoven, performed by Tony Gor¬don, David Fulton, Barbara Her- stein, and Ellen Karnofsky, endedthe Musical Society’s series oflunchtime concerts for the quarter.The music was perfect midday di¬version, the performances appro¬priately cheerful. Let’s hope the se¬ries will continue in the spring.As for Sylvia Kind’s Saturdayevening harpsichord concert: sheseemed to have been victimized byan unfamiliar and malevolently tem¬peramental instrument. Under suchcircumstances, it would be unfair tojudge her performances. At least onelistener, however, emerged as al¬ways from harpsichord recitals:thankful for the invention of thepiano.Pete RabinowitzCalendar ok* event*Tuesday, Feb. 25Colloquium: “Experiments with Mag¬netic Properties of Superconductors,”(Institute for the Study of Metals),William Fairbank.

To join Signa PhiNothing and get this hideous membership pin absolutely free,simply take a pair of scissors, cut out the illustration, and pasteit on your chest.Let me hasten to state that I do not recommend your joiningSigna Phi Nothing. The only thing I recommend in this columnis Marlboro Cigarettes, as any honest man would who likesfcood tobacco and a good filter, whose heart is quickened by achoice of soft pack or Flip-Top Box, and who gets paid everyweek for writing this column.I am frankly hard put to think of any reason why you shouldJoin Signa Phi Nothin^. Some people, of course, are joiners bynature; if you are one such, I am bound to tell you there areany number of better organizations for you to join—the Cosa'Nostra, for example, or the Society for the Placing of Water(Troughs in Front of Equestrian Statues.{fditodfflcltyjte it'otixtrdesiBut if you insist on joining Signa Phi Nothing, let me giveyou several warnings. First off, it is the only fraternity whichadmits girls. Second, there is no pledge period; each new mem¬ber immediately goes active. Perhaps “inactive” is a more ac¬curate word: there are no meetings, no drives, no campaigns,no sports, no games, no dues, no grip, and no house.The only thing Signa Phi Nothing has in common with otherfraternities is a fraternity hymn. In fact, two hymns were sub¬mitted to a recent meeting of the national board of directors(none of whom attended). The first hymn goes;Signa Phi Nothing,Shining star,IIow m wonderIf you are.The second hymn, rather more poetic in content, is to bejeung to the tune of Also Sprach Zarathustra:A Guernsey’s o cow,A road is a lane,When you’re eating chow,Remember the mein.Pending the next meeting of the national board of directors)(which will never be held) members are authorized to singeither hymn. Or, for that matter, Frenesi.Perhaps you are wondering why there should be such a fra¬ternity as Signa Phi Nothing. I can give you an answer—ananswer with which you cannot possibly disagree: Signa PhiNothing fills a well-needed gap.Are you suffering from mental health? Is logic distortingyour thinking? Is ambition encroaching on your native sloth?Is your long-cherished misinformation retreating before a seaof facts? In short, has education caught up with you?If so, congratulations. But spring is upon us and the sap is'rising, and the mind looks back with poignant longing to the[days when it was a puddle of unreason.If—Just for a moment—you want to recapture those care¬less vaporings, that warm, squishy confusion, then join SignaPhi Nothing and renew your acquaintance with fecklessness.We promise nothing, and, by George, we deliver itlX © KW4 Mu Sbulroaa>*We, the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, promise smoking en¬joyment, and ice think you’ll think we deliver it—in all fifty[states of this Union, Marlboro Country is where you ore.Feb. 25„ 1964 • CHICAGO MAROON • 5Theater reviewv\ Variety spice of Slice of Paradise' CCNY students pushto keep free tuition(We’d rather you wouldn’t)Of course, a lot of people do pour beer down the side ofthe glass.

LOUIS • NEWARK • LOS ANGELES • TAMPALocal theatregoers have bynow become accustomed tothe occurrence of an annualmusical event sired by GeraldMast out of University Theater.Slice of Paradise is the most am¬bitious such offering to date; it isnot only the first in the series toboast book, lyrics and music of localorigin, but it is also the most de¬manding in terms of characterizationand production.The plot runs along fairly typicalmusical comedy lines: an ambitiousfemale named Billi Banko, who hasalready failed in several businessventures, tries her hand at buildingand running an Arizona resort; inthis effort she is duly hampered byher perennial associate MartinVegle, her stripper-turned-secretaryShirley Savage, and a motelv crewof local help and freeloading guestsfrom all over (admittedly it doesn'tsound like the type of thing one hasbeen led to expect from the pen ofa UC undergraduate, but that justgoes to show the diversity that lurkswithin our walls).Billi is played by Belleruth Krepon,whom many will remember fromprevious shows as a game girl whois always being stuffed into a closetor pulled from under a bed; in Billishe has a less slapstick role withdeeper implications, which she car¬ries off with considerable finesse.Patrick Cain as Martin turns inhis usual fine performance, por¬traying the man who makes no litteplans in his incessant quest for thebuck.And Linda Hnndelman as Shirleyis outrageously amusing as she de¬livers a succession of malapropismsand double-entendres ("I'm at myrear’s end''); her frustrating ro¬mance with Spanish dancer JoseJose, played broadly (if that's theW’ord) but w’ell by Steve Ege. fur¬nishes a counterplot to supplementtlie main story line of Billi vs. theworld.The characterizations of the sup¬porting players are quite uniformlygood, and contribute much to thegeneral effect. Donald Swanton asoriental potentate Ali Ben Moham¬med Zed Pakir, Louis YeideS and C. J. Smith as Greenwich village beatsHorace and Bamona, Andrew Kap¬lan and Edrene Furman as hillbillyJohn Smathers and his honey-dippedbride Ellie-Mae, Richard Eno andSandra Roos as Mr. and Mrs. Preg¬nant Muidoon, Robert Dewar andLorraine Stern as Ixwd and LadyChumworth, and Richard Roberts asthe masked lawman who carries asilver bullet, all serve admirably toportray the variety that is the spiceof life at Slice of Paradise. AndRichard Mandel deserves a specialsix-fold paean of praise for his por¬trayal of each and every one ofthe resort "help,” in a theatrical“tour de force" which involves hischanging identities back and forthwith such rapidity that one is notat all surprised to see him finallyencounter himself coming and going.The book and lyrics of Slice ofParadise are by Stephen Brown.The book suffers somew'hat froman excess of material, which couldhave been profitably compressed;individual scenes, however, are com¬petently conceived and executed. Thelyrics are smooth and well-con¬structed; it is refreshing to hear onthe amateur stage lyrics which showthe writer to have some feeling forstyle and technique as well as clev¬er ideas.The music is by Robert Apple-baum. whose work is familiar tothose who have seen the most re¬cent Blackfriars’ shows. As always,his melodies are eminently singable,and the various specialty and in¬cidental bits show the effect of finecraftsmanship.As everyone who has been in¬volved in any way with a stage mu¬sical knows, fine book, lyrics, andmusic and cast are not worth muchunless the technical aspects of aproduction are well handled. In thisarea Slice of Paradise presents aseries of challenges, most of whichare successfully met even if notcompletely mastered.David Katzive’s execution of theresort, which is constructed beforeyour very eyes, is unusual and ef¬fective; the stage crew, assisted bythe cast, assist it through its chang¬ing aspects with aplomb.Attacker c. ---ed. student caughtA 22 vcar-old resident of Wood lawnhas confessed to the stabbing of aUC medical student three weeks agoon the corner of 57th street and Kiin-bark.In a memorandum, Tony Eidson,head of Campus Police, said that theaccused assailant, George Spark, of6505 Harvard, had confessed the at¬tack to Detective Kernohan of AreaOne.

A great dealof credit is due to Ken Pierce forhis handling of musical production.The orchestrations, by Mr. Pierceand Mr. Applcbaum, are generallygood, employing orchestral color andcontrast effectively. The orchestraseems equal to the work, and mostof the time manages to achieve thedesired ensemble effect.I have endeavored to enumeratewhat I regard to be the noteworthyaspects of Slice of Paradise: theyreside in the accomplisments of itsauthors, cast, and staff. Given thenature of the piece, it is not ap¬propriate to expect it to invoke thepure, unadulterated enjoyment oflast year’s Good News, and in factit does not.

Chase, deanof the school, in announcing the pro¬gram.Students in the program, who musthold bachelor’s degrees, will havetheir choice of specializing in lan¬guage arts, French, the social sci¬ences, the natural sciences, and prob¬ably mathematics. Other programswill provide specialized graduatepreparation for teaching the highlygifted as well as the underprivilegedriiild.Francis S. Chase, dean of theGraduate School of Education, said:"It is time to stop preparing teach¬ers for functions that are disappear¬ing as education adapts itself to thedemands and opportunities of themodem age. We must try to de¬velop ‘a new breed’ of teacher who,instead of seeing himself as the pri¬mary source of knowledge, helps thelearners to discover the whole worldof ideas found in books, in othermedia of communication, and in con-temporary life.“We have underestimated the abili¬ties of children and learners of allages to grapple with powerful andexciting ideas. We need teachers whocan convert the child’s natural curi¬osity into orderly and sustained en¬quiry. This can be done only byteachers who have a firm understand¬ing of the way in which knowledgein their particular fields is built up,tested, and modified in the light ofcontinuing research.

They also will have toknow how to lead young learners tofind and use information from booksand many other sources.”UC is offering approximately $250,-000 in fellowships for those preparingfor teaching and other positions inelementary and secondary schools. Inaddition to the University’s own en¬dowed and unendowed fellowships,fellowships are being provided from a1959 grant of $2,400,000 to supportteacher education, research and workwith schools from the Ford Founda¬tion. Fellowships range in value frompartial tuition to $.’1,000, and therewill be at least fifty awards of$2,400 or more.The programs outlined by DeanChase will require a year of con¬tinuous residence at the Universityand are comi»sed of four majorcomponents: 1. Introduction to teaching throughenquiry into the teaching-learningprocess, curriculum theory, and theimplications for education of psy¬chology, sociology, history, and phi¬losophy.2. Advanced study in the area ofspecialization. If the student, is pre¬paring as a specialist in the teachingof physical sciences, for example,the program is designed to developbetter understanding of the organizingprinciples of these disciplines and theways in which knowledge in thephysical sciences is extended, tested,and revised.3. Observation of the teaching¬learning process as conducted by ef¬fective teachers in the UniversityLaboratory Schools, practice teaching,and experimentation in the classroom.Practice teaching will be done, whenappropriate, in other schools in theChicago area, and will be consistentwith the interests of each graduatestudent. Those preparing to workwith the culturally disadvantaged willteach in selected schools where chil¬dren from unfavorable environmentsare in attendance.4.

Carolina student paperprotests discriminationThe real extent of integra¬tion in Chapel Hill, NorthCarolina, where the Universi¬ty of North Carolina (UNC)is located, was recently questionedby the UNC student newspaper.Chapel Hill businesses have beenpicketed lately by integrationists.An editorial in The Daily Tar Heel,the student newspaper, challengedthe belief that the town hasachieved “90-95% integration,” afigure which resulted from a surveyconducted" last summer by theChapel Hill-Carrboro Merchants As¬sociation.The editorial stated that the sur¬vey dealt with desegregation ratherthan integration, that it concernedretail establishments rather thanpublic accommodations, and that notall retail establishments includedwere actually checked.A quick survey by the Tar Heel in¬dicated that 25 per cent of 116places of public accommodationpracticed some form of discrimina¬tion against Negroes. Eight typesof retail facilities which seemed tobe public accommodations were se¬ lected from the town’s piione bookfor the survey.Findings included discriminationin 32% of the local restaurants,55% of the establishments servingbeer and ale, 3 of five motels, and1 of 3 ice-cream businesses dis¬criminate against Negroes.Only 2 of 37 service stations havesegregated restrooms.The editorial concluded: “Despitewhat you hear to the contrary, ra¬cial discrimination here is fax- frombeing a straw man.”Woodlawn Tutoring Projectneeds tutors all elementaryschool subjects.Call Pam Procuniarex. 3273Absolutely Desperate!!! 50high school students are ingrave need of tutors.

The suggestion to this dayhas not been brought up for discus¬sion, for the board has absolved fromitself the responsiblity for doingsomething in this matter. It just doesnot want to move.” They say “letus wait until the five man panel hasreported, or the court has ajudicatedthe matter, or for the results of theFEPC. Everyone is expected to dosomething except them.” Even theCCCO was asked by them for a poli¬cy statement on integration. ‘‘Theyshould be doing this themselves.”Bacon declared that ultimately theboard would change. “The questionis how soon and how smoothly. Thereis not much to give hope for rapidityof change.” The basic problem isthat even the board is unable to takeaction if it desires to, for it is unableto get Superintendent BenjaminWillis to release necessary informa¬tion to them. And they refuse todirect him to do so.”A project currently being con¬sidered, which calls for three milliondollars in federal grants, is runninginto difficulty because Willis will notsupply the government with the in¬formation they want. "The board is not being kept informed here at allas to what is going on.”Some pressure is being applied toWillis by the Board and communitygroups which is resulting in the re¬lease of some information. He recent¬ly released information on the num¬ber of unused, unfurnished class¬rooms in the schools. “Now the ques¬tion is how many unused furnishedclassrooms he has. We are gettingthe information in driblets.”Commenting on the results of thefirst school boycott last October 22,Bacon said that “no significant,changes have resulted from it.”There was very little discussion ofthe boycott by the board other thanthe number of absentees and a state¬ment of monetary losses resultingfrom it, and one or two general ob¬servations.It is doubtful whether there wereany changes directly attributable tothe boycott. ‘‘It was the atmosphereof unhappiness which manifested it¬self in many different ways whichmade change as fast as it is.” It wasthe result of various forms of pres¬sure. He added, however, that “theBoard should be geared for a su¬preme effort; instead it is going ata snail’s pace.”COMINGFriday, February 28ANOTHER BIG SALE OF PUBLISHERS REMAINDERSMany SubjectsFormerly published at from $2.50 to $25.00SALE PRICES FROM 99c TO $9.95See our full page cul in Friday's MaroonOur current print sale is winding upTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO BOOKSTORE5802 ELLIS AVENUECAFE ENRICOACROSS FROM THE •rHY 3-5300 FA 4-5525PIZZAMed.

Rama Rau described Japanand India.Following the Second World War,she said Japan had vast areas cov¬ered with debris, and its economywas in a state of collapse. Due large¬ly to the foresight of its leaders andthe discipline of its people, she con¬tinued. a thriving economy has quick¬ly risen from the ruins.An integral part of Japan’s pro¬gram of economic rehabilitation hasbeen the legalization and govern¬mental control of abortion. Mme.Rama Rau emphasized. Afterthe war, Japan’s near 90 millionpopulation was growing at the rate of2 million per year, but with 1,300,000abortions per year; this problem ofpopulation overcrowding has beenconsiderably alleviated.India has recently instituted a masssterilization program, she said. AnyIndian male who requests it, is atleast 30 years of age. has tliree ormore children of which at least oneis a boy, and has the written consentof his wife, can go to an itinerantclinic organized for this purpose bythe Indian government and undergowithout charge a short operationwhich will prevent him from havingunwanted children.' 300.000 Indianmales have been sterilized in thismanner, she continued.Japan. India, and the 33 othermember nations of the InternationalPlanned Parenthood Federation(IPPF) are compelled by their cir¬cumstances to face the stark factsabout starvation and overpopulation.It is the general consensus of opinionamong both independent and inter¬national groups that with 40% of tlieworld’s population presently on star¬vation or sub-starvation diets, andwith a predicted 100% increase inthe world population during the next50 years, a growing international food deficiency is almost a certain pros¬pect, Mme. Rama Rau declared.Great strides in medical methodshave raised the average life expect¬ancy in India from 26 years to 45years since the end of World War If,causing a population increase in tliatcountry which surpassed all predic¬tions. Neither in India nor in Japan,she commented, have the birth con¬trol measures conflicted with reli¬gious tenets. For this reason the peo¬ple have shown considerable interestin and cooperation with birth controlmeasures.In both India and Japan, she said,it is coming to be considered un-patrotic to have more than threechildren, unless none of them is aboy. India has. however, experiencedmuch difficulty in letting people knowthat birth control is possible, since75% of the population is illiterate and80% live in small rural villages with¬out electricity.The government has found that theonly practicable means is sending prepared with puppet shows which pulforth the message of family planning.The process is slow but successful,Mme. Rama Rau commented.Family planning, which started asa movement in the more advancedcountries largely with the humaneintention of preventing marital diffi¬culties through preventing unwantedbirths, she concluded, lias now be¬come almast exclusively a concernof backward nations fighting to pro¬tect their populations from mass star¬vation and disease.Hie U.S. government has been laxin ading this effort, she charged butprivate foundations have been moreencouraging. The Ford foundationfor example, has contributed SUNK).000 to the Indian government for thispurpose. Miss Rama Rau feels thatthe main reason that the U.S. hasremained aloof from this internation¬al enterprise is that our country hasnot yet experienced the populationsqueeze itself.Her speech was tailed by W.U.C.B,for broadcast over the Voice ofAmerica.You won't have to putyour moving or storageproblem off until tomor¬row if you call us today.PETERSON MOVINGAND STORAGE CO.1011 East. 55th StreetBUtterfield 8-6711BOOK NOW!New York - 43.70 Los Ange'es - 85.00 <jPhiladelphia 40.75 San Francisco 105.45Boston - 50.85 Kansas City- 27.70Washington 37.70 Denver - 55.40Nef'onwlddWorldwidedepend a.
