Papalas (POLIT) were interested in runningEDITORIALMaroon announces endorsements for SG seatsAlthough it may be said (and oftenis) that every year is a crucial onein SG, this year, by all indicationsrepresents a crossroads, a choice be¬tween two paths of action. From theliberal, POLIT - dominated govern¬ments of the late fifties and earlysixties, government was taken overlast year by GNOSIS, an untriedgroup which promised to be moremiddle of the road.Indeed. GNOSIS has turned out tobe middle of the road. There havebeen no t uba declarations or ad-building sit-ins this year. In fact, theGNOSIS government, while sincerelyattempting to be noncontroversial,has failed to come to grips with thecrucial problems of the day: ques¬tions of world peace, civil liberties.Surely these issues cannot be saidto concern “students as students.”We are not certain whether any issuecan, in fact, be so designated, asGNOSIS has claimed.Of much greater importance, itseems to us, are those issues which“students as human beings,” thoselarger problems which know no par¬ticularities but which compel meneverywhere to work toward their per¬manent solution. For a student or agroup of students to so restrict itselfas to exclude consideration of theseproblems would seem then to be un¬natural — a denial of the human ele¬ment in us.*In its on-campus activities, the cur¬rent SG has a more impressive rec¬ord. Considerable SG-administrationdiscussion preceded the recent relax¬ation of the residence requirementand, speaking generally, SG-adminis¬tration relations continued to recoverfrom the lowT level reached duringPOLIT dominance.But one or two years is not longenough to establish a meaningfulstudent-administration dialogue me¬diated by SG. Future governmentsmust approach the situation withdelicacy, taking care not to slip backto the times of irresponsible antag¬onism toward the administration.We fervently hope that the nextgovernment will improve matters at“home” while revitalizing SG’s “for¬eign” affairs and, toward this end,have endorsed those people w hom wefeel can best work to effect it.Candidates were endorsed on thebasis of experience, specific propos¬als for improving SG, vitality, andwillingness to spend time. All candi¬dates were interviewed by the Ma¬roon editorial board, and endorse-mnts were made in committee pri¬marily on the basis of the informa¬tion obtained in the interviews.In many cases, candidates seemedqualified for election either on thebasis of their records or on theirpotential for working during the com¬ ing year. Generally, however, theywere lacking in one of the previous¬ly mentioned areas which were usedas criteria. Because of this, they arelisted here as qualified but not en¬dorsed. Where there are, in individ¬ual cases, special reasons for the lackof endorsement, these are noted inthe brief comment on each candidate.It should be emphasized that en¬dorsements and recognitions of qual¬ifications were done on an individualbasis and not according to party lines.We believe that neither party is in¬herently superior to the other to anygreat degree, and that the most im¬portant criteria for students’ votechoices should be based on individ¬uals rather than by parties as blocs.Both parties seen to have sensibleoutlooks for the most part, and wedo not detect rigorous inter-partycompetition. But this is all to thegood. Party conflict would only ob¬scure the real issue in this election:the direction which SG is to followin the coming year.But if SG is to attain any sort ofautonomy, it must have the strongsupport .and equally strong criticismof the student body. The minimalstudent commitment should be thecommitment for the candidates ofhis choice. SG can hardly attain itsfull potential if the students it pur¬ports to represent do not care. Cor¬respondingly, students will not haveaccess to the knowledgeable leader¬ship they need to be active if govern¬ment is ineffective. It is up to bothSG and the campus as a whole to rec¬ognize the importance and especiallythe feasibility of strong leadershipSG, with the endorsed candidates asmembers, can provide it.Following are the Maroon endorse¬ments:EndorsedPierce TowerEllis Levin (GNOSIS)—is a veryactive worker on SG and GNOSISactivities, even though not an as¬sembly member.

We must assume that those who didnot contact us are not very interested in par¬ticipating in SG Ibis year. Of those who didcontact us, the only one with any semblanceof competence was SG President Don Cong-don who unquestionably deserves to be re¬turned to the SG assembly.Unfortunately, some of the graduate sft>dents who were not interviewed had somesort of experience in SG or at least had pre¬viously demonstrated a potential few mean¬ingful participation in SG. Murray Schacher,POLIT candidate in physical sciences, hashad a long, if not continuous, association withSG. We have no way of determining his cur¬rent interests and ideas, however. Two othercandidates, Gene Pysh (GNOSIS, Physic) andStephen Livemesh (GNOSIS, Business school),have been active in extra-curricular activites,but have done nothing significant (to ourknowledge)) within SG. Their failure to con¬tact us makes it impossible for us to recom¬mend them. .metiers to: WheSplane gives argumentagainst NSA coalitionTO THE EDITOR:Many students have expressed con¬cern about the formation of a coali¬tion slate for delegates and alternates1o the National Student Association.I feel they have a right to be con¬cerned, if only because they haveheard only one viewpoint—the “partyline.” I'd like to give the other sideof the story.1) The first plank of the coalitionplatform calls for “campuswide elec¬tion of delegations on the basis ofissue-oriented campaigns.” The UCdelegation to the NSA has for yearsbeen opposed to student governmentsappointing NSA delegates, and ismerely reaffirming a generally heldUC position.It therefore seems somewhat In¬congruous that the President of theStudent Government, the chairmanof the NSA committee of SG, the chairman of the Community Rela¬tions Committee of SG, and two SGAssembly members should be, ineffect, slating themselves as NSAdelegates.Ibis plank of their platform ismeaningless if there are actually no“issues” around which to orient acampaign. If there are such “issues,”which ought to be debated at otherschools, why have these issues beenburied at the University of Chicago?2) The coalition gives as one of itsmain arguments the proposition thatthere are no substantive issues di¬viding the parties at the level of theNSA. According to one of the personsslated, the coalition candidates wentthrough both GNOSIS and POLITplatforms of last year, and agreedto everything concerning NSA inBOTH platforms.From the 1963 POLIT platform:“A POLIT delegation will urge NSAto continue its opposition to colonial¬ism, imperialism, dictatorship, total-MAROON • April 14, 1964 itarianism, discrimination, and eco¬nomic deprivation, and its support ofstudents around the world who areworking to end any such conditionsof oppression.” From the 1963GNOSIS platform: "We support as apragmatic guideline for priorities andaction, NSA’s stated purpose: to con¬sider the affairs of students as stu¬dents—their rights, their responsibil¬ities, and their living conditions—af¬fairs which are within the range ofconstructive action and agitation byNSA.”Again, it seems nothing short ofamazing that ten intelligent, political¬ly astute people could agree to bothplatforms without detecting any in¬consistency.3) The coalition platform statesthat since there was no disagreementon issues, the most experienced dele¬gates were selected. As it turns outhowever, one of the candidates forDELEGATE has never attended anNSA Congress. There WERE quali¬ fied persons who expressed an inter¬est in running; however, they couldneither agree that there were noissues nor unhesitantingly supportBOTH platforms of last year.Another coalition delegate plans toaccept a fellowship for graduatestudy which prohibits studying at theinstitution where undergraduatework was done. This means that hewill not be around next year to ac¬count for his actions at the summerCongress, and is therefore freed ofall responsibility to this campus.4) According to the Maroon articleof last Friday, the “leaders of bothparties” (who happen, incidentally,to be running in the coalition)“pointed out that independent candi¬dates were free, befroe the filingdeadline, to assert their candidacy.Only one, however, has done so.”The definite agreement for formationof a coalition was reached Mondaynight, and was announced to thecampus in Tuesday’s Maroon. Unfor¬ tunately, the filing deadline was atnoon on that selfsame Tuesday. Thisleft very little time for organizing anopposition, picking up petitions, get¬ting signatures, and returning thepetitions to the SG office. The oneperson who did file in opposition wa«aware of the decision Monday night,and could begin immediately. TheMaroon, incidentally, did not print theshort platform which he submittedto them, and “lost” a letter protest*ing the coalition, which they ha<Jpromised to print.Doing something about the situationis the real problem. It’s too kite torun any opposition as write-in candi¬dates. As far as I can see, the onlyway we can protest is by voting, butturning in a blank NSA ballot., or byvoting only for the independent. Ifanyone has any better ideas, I’d beglad to hear them. iBEVERLY SPLANERecording Secretary, GNOSISSecretary, Student Government *»’T * >And more from Heagy,NS A coalition: “A fix”TO THE EDITOR:The NSA election fix was officiallyapproved by about forty students.In actuality, however, this decisionwas made by far fewer people. Intin? case of GNOSIS it was madeby two people (the chairman andvice-chairman of the party) whothen pushed it through the caucus.These two, plus their counterpartin POLIT (not the “chairman” butthe actual leader), are now assuredof election as NSA delegates andwill l»e thus aided in their personalambitions in that organization.The NSA fix is not the full ex¬tent. of the parties’ abrogation oftheir responsibilities as student par¬ties In only one of the nine gradu¬ate election units is the total num¬ber of candidates offered by the twoparties greater than the number ofseats to be filled, and in that onethere are five candidates for fourseats.One final point I would like tomake in this letter is that the Ma¬roon endorsement of the coalitionwas made under circumstanceswhich deprive it of any validity.1 The decision was made beforethe coalition had even started towrite its platform. 2. The decisionwas made by the two acting oo-edi-tors hath of whom are overfile can¬didates for the coalition (if anyoneon the coalition slate resigns or isdisqualified one of them wiLI becomea candidate). 3. The decision wasmade without interviewing most ofthe eleven candidates (the independ¬ent candidate was interviewed forshow after it had been decided notto endorse him.TOM HEAGY(Chairman Campus ActionCommittee of SG.member of GNOSIS).Magiclson sees dilemmain New Dorm cafeteriaTO THE EDITOR:I w^h I could say that my fatheronce told me all university adminis¬trators were s.o.b.’s, but I can’t.I'd like to accuse them of ivory (oris it grey stone) tower-ism but findit difficult to do so. However, lest lbe accused, in the Maroon editor’swords, of ‘‘creeping Don Congdon-ism," I shall vent my feelings in asstrong a manner as I feel is justi¬fiedHie problem is the WoodwardCourt ijoard contract, now a 13-mealreality. A compromise proposal wasapproved at a meeting of Court resi¬dents and presented to the Adminis¬tration (i.e., Miss Kay and Messrs.Wick Newman, and Vice) for dis¬cussion, with the understanding thatstudent representatives (i.e., Mr.Coogdon and myself) would partici¬pate in such a discussion. Insteadof conducting this ideal dialogue,i immmmwmhiii •*nnnni,»*>-*<i*iiimmiiniiiiiiiimmiHiDean of Students Warner Wickwill meet with members of the Inter-Court Council tonight at 7:30 pm todiscuss possible alternatives and7ormodifications of the announced boardcontract in New Dorm for next year.The meeting will begin at 7:30 pmin the basement of West House. AllCouncil members are asked to at¬tendthe Group appointed Liason OfficerNewman to relay their decision andin effect, to ask me to go home andcurb “irrational” expressions of stu¬dent discontent.This is the way it always works!Why must students be called in af¬ter tlve fact? Can’t administratorsassume that students may have cre¬ative contributions to make, present¬ing an admittedly different view¬point, but a viewpoint which de¬serves to be considered? Studentsthink of more than short-term goals;we have a stake in the Universityof Chicago and we’d like to thinkwe have some voice in determingwhat Bt does and is.I did meet again with the Vdmia-istradm, at which time we dis¬cussed other porposals brought for¬ward regarding the contract, e.g.,dosing the cafeteria or institutingsome kind of meal-ticket proposal.We also had an opportunity to beginto explore, frankly and openly, thequestion of student participation indiscussions and, on the other hand. student confidence in administra¬tors as professionals.Here is the source of my intro¬ductory remarks. I cannot help ac¬cepting the Administration’s goodfaith. Naively perhaps, I believetheir saying they have explored al¬most everything. However, I stillmaintain that they are out of touchwith students—they may recognizeprevailing opinion, but they do notcapitalize on whatever ingenuity wemay possess.The final dilemma b this: Ob¬jections to the cash lunch cafeteriarest on the expansion of the CloisterClub into a student hangout, withsandwiches, vending machines, andlater, hot meals. I personally thinksuch plans are in many ways a m*j-take, but I recognize the politicsthe Administration must play withTrustees, who have already allocate*funds for the project. Given, then,the existence of such facilities, ob¬jections to the compromise oontractbecome valid. Arguments againstmeal-ticket arrangements (that be¬cause of the lack of the element ofcertainty at any given meal, thecost per meal would be higher) arealso justfied.There seems to be no room forcompromise, once we accept theCloister Club. Mr. Newman, tryingnot to placate but to demonstrategood faith, said, “I wish there weresome concession we could give you,but I can’t think of one.” Neithercan I.What do we do now? Irrational ex¬pressions of a discontent everyone knows about we serve no purpose,but it’s hard to sit still. I suggestthat we are at a stone wall, and wemay either kick and scream at it orfind another way to proceed.Some students will refuse to turnaround, thinking that such a retreatwill signify weakness and certainthat the Diabolical Administrationwill set down wall after wall in frontof us knowing we are willing to turnback. I contend that such a view, of“Then out to get us,” is unhealthyand untrue.It seems to me that the intelligentthing to do is to approach the under¬lying problem of lack of mutual con¬fidence between students and admin¬istrators. Supposedly we ail have thesame goals; the energy of frustra¬tion we now possess can best bechannelel in a positive direction to¬ward defining and reaching them.JUDY MAGIDSONPresident, Woodward Court CouncilYPSL charges Raynerwon’t fight on civil rightsTO THE EDITOR:Today, Democratic primary voterswill be asked to choose between A.A. Rayner. Jr. and Congressman Wil¬liam L. Dawson for the 1st DistrictU.S. Representative seat. Hardly any¬one fails to realize that Dawson is amachine politician who has not repre¬sented the interests of the Negro com¬munity. He did not support the lastschool boycott and is unsympatheticto every aspect of the freedom move¬ment. Although it would be a welcomerelief to be rid of the corrupt Wil¬liam L. Dawson, it would also benice to know what we would be get¬ting if we voted in Mr. Rayner.There is a curious gap in Rayner’scampaign posture on civil rights —there Ls no discussion of the NationalDemocratic Party or the Johnsonadministration. Rut it is on precisely(his point that Rayner’s possible workin congress hinges. While Raynertalks about radical steps, such as aguaranteed annual income for allAmericans, he has admitted that hewould not propose any amendmentsstrengttiening the current civil rightsbill.When questioned. Rayner statedthat he would not attempt to extendfederal protection of voting rights,provided for in the present bill, tostate and local elections, as it issupposedly difficult for the federalgovernment to intervene in local mat¬ters. When asked how he would votedifferently from Dawson, he statedthat a congressman’s job was notjust to vote but to be “the voice ofthe people.”How can a civil rights candidatewho promises to “reform” the Demo¬cratic Party keep silent on the John¬son administration? This Ls the ad¬ministration that refuses to inter¬vene against police brutality in theSouth. In fact. Bobby Kennedy’sJustice Department is prosecutingcivil rights workers in Albany,Georgia. Some liberals may thinkJohnson’s token “War On Poverty”is better than nothing, but why, as arepresentative of the administrationadmitted at a recent SNCC confer¬ence in Washington, is it being runon a segregated basis throughout much of the South? Any real civilrights candidate would be a severecritic of the Johnson administration,but Mr. Rayner is caught in a di¬lemma. He can hardly claim thepublic mantle of the DemocraticParty and at the same time attackits nominal head. We predict thatMr. Rayner will do very little forany real “reform” of the DemocraticParty.In this, he will be following thepath of other would be “reformers”of this party. In Philadelphia, durngthe 1950’s, the ADA ran a liberalreform movement that successfullyousted the entrenched machine. Rutin supporting this liberal machine.Philadelphia Negroes have discoveredthat they helped create another cor¬rupt. do nothing machine, one withliberal phraseo'ogy.There are those who argue thatsupporting Rayner will “shake-up”the Democratic machine. But it willrequire far more than a “shake-up”to produce a basic improvement inthe living conditions of the Negrocommunity. A far more effective wavto fight discrimination is the organi¬zation of the Negro ghetto into mili¬tant grass-roots organizations that canelect real civil rights candidates. Onlyby providing an electoral alternativeto the Democratic Party can thecivil rights movement force signifi¬cant concessions from this party, andeventually, in conjunction with otheroppressed groups, vote it out ofpower.Mr. Rayner, who is tied to theDemocratic Party, is a blind alleyfor the civil rights movement.ROBERT HALFHILL ANDJOE WEINERFor the U. of C.

It has been over three yearssince the first^call went outfor the reform of the NationalStudent Association (NSA).A group at that time was formedwhich called itself ‘‘Students Com¬mitted to Accurate National Repre¬sentation,” whose object was to bringabout changes in NSA working fromwithin.Since that time there have beenmany suggestions made and muchwritten and spoken criticism, but onlya minimal amount of reform-actiontaken.UC was one of the founders ofNSA, which is a confederation ofmore than 400 US colleges and uni¬versities. It serves as the majorrepresentative body of US studentsboth in the US and abroad.The association has concerned it¬self with issues of concern to stu¬dents win their role as students andin their role as citizens. Each summerdelegates from NSA’s memberschools meet on the campus of amidwestem school in a National Stu¬dent Congress (NSC).The l«th NSC met in August, 1963at the University of Indiana. Thisconference represents the one timeduring the year when aO of the mem¬ber colleges of NSA met together toestablish policy and to set the tonefor the following year's policies andactions.In the campus elections this week,students will be elected to representUC at this conference.One of tlie main criticisms of NSAhas been its lack of communicationwith the students on campus. Corre¬lated with this has been its dwindlingmembership.Stuart I)owty, former (hairman ofthe Illinois-Wisoonsin .Region of NSAtold the MAROON last spring that"if no one on campus is aware ofwhat is happening on the regional,national, or internnti«Hial level, aftera year or two students begin towonder why Uiey are members andbegin to think about disaffiliation.”In this manner, with the struggleagainst the NSA conducted by theYoung Americans for Freedom, aSUMMER JOBSfor STUDENTSNEW S’64 directory lists 20,000 summer job open¬ings in 50 states.

Box 13593—Phoenix Arizona number of large schools have de¬cided to disaffiliate in recent years.Among these are Northwestern, Yale,Indiana University, and San Fran¬cisco State.The latter pulled out for nnollierreaspn. It was felt that there wasnot enough freedom of debate at tliesummer conferences. The nationalstaff, rather than the representativeof tlie schools, set the tone of tliesessions. The voices of those fromthe far left and tlie far right wereeqmilly silenced.Another major criticism of thenational student group has been itsmctliod of selecting delegates. Atmost schools, the delegates are ap¬pointed by either the administrationor the student government. At onlya very few are the delegates electedby the student body, allowing a moreaccurate representation of the viewsof the student body.Bills to correct this an a numberof other shortcomings of the asso¬ciation have been proposed at tliepast summer conferences. Last yearone major reform was passed toplace the planning and considerationof legislation directly in tlie handsof delegates. Tlie National ExecutiveCommittee had previously consideredlegislation.A constitutional amendment, re¬quiring that all delegates to the Con¬gress be elected by their studentbodies was not passed.At last summer’s conference anumber of important stand.-, weretaken:1) Supjiort of the civil rights marchon Washington, and endorsement ofother efforts on behalf of racialequality;2) Condemnation of five universi¬ties for violation of academic freedom.3) A vote to support Vietnamesestudents in their objections to 'heDiem regime.4) Condemnation of the Chineseinvasion of India and of Portugueseixilicies toward African territories.Cohen and Ritter arenew tutor leadersNewly chosen coordinators of theWoodluwn Tutoring Project are Deb¬bie Cohen and Charlotte Ritter. ‘ Ourfirst concern,” said Cohen, "is gettingnew tutors for the many grammarschool students who are in need oftutoring.” Tutors in all of the academ¬ic subjects are needed, especiallyin French, Spanish, typing, and mu¬sic appreciation.The tutoring project was foundedtwo years ago, and now works withstudents from Wadsworth, Dumas,and Ray Schools.As part of their expansion of theproject, the coordinators have initiateda series of informal coffee hours.

A piecerepresentative of this is a horse por-tniit with the ncme Bushrangerprinted under it. The labeling reads,"loaned by Bushranger,” which isonly one example of the comic label¬ing that has gone into the show. An¬other example of the primitive as¬pect is three bleeding hearts loanedby the Salvation Army Resale Stores.Such works are painted by sincereTillich to answerquestions at Shorey individuals who paint in the onlylimited fashion they know.Tlie Found Object part of the showis by far the most interesting, andcomes the closest to an art form.These are objects which have a simi¬larity of form to other unrelated ob¬jects, leaving it to the artist to em¬phasize this relation. A gooa exam¬ple of this is the piece loaned bythe Sedgewick St. Gallery, a sectionof drift wood in the form of legs, inthe middle of which the artist hasput a set of deer antlers and calledit ‘‘The College Girl’s Attitude To¬ward Sex.” Another item which fallsinto this category is an outhouse doorwliich looks as if it had been takenoff the building only moments ago;notes still scribbled on pads of paperare hung from it, utensils are hungfrom hooks. All these items work to¬gether in arnuigement and colorscheme, giving the object a com¬pleteness.The Utility- aspect of the showconsists of those items which have apractical application. Of these there is a handsome quilt loaned by Lor¬raine Bouras, a chair made entirelyof steer horns loaned by Mrs. KerigPope, a lamp with a rather menac¬ingly funny quality made of a bombstood up on end with a lamp shadecovering the tip. < A light plug comingfrom the bottom makes us wonderwhat might happen if we turn theswitch.) There are also many signsin the Utility category which takethe majority of the space.Among one of the more originalsigns is one for a saw sharpeningshop, portraying a man holding asaw in his hands. When the windblows, the fan to which he is at¬tached makes him move back andforth as if sawing wood. Anotheroriginal sign is a gigantic mufflerwhich has. painted on its side,‘‘Mufflers Repaired.”There are other signs in the showwhich are unique because they arewhat we might see on any commer¬cial street. Among them is a “Geno’sHot Dogs” sign with a large and notvery tempting-looking hot dog painted under „ it. Another sign slyly placedunder the Lexington Studio Signreads, ‘‘ANOTHER IMPROVE¬MENT FOR CHICAGO — SORRYFOR THE INCONVENIENCE —RICHARD J. DALY MAYOR.” Theaccompanying label reads, “fromthe collection of Richard J. Daly.”The show will make the viewerthink twice about the common ob¬jects seen in the course of a daywhich have an artistic or noteworthyside. The everyday inventiveness ofpeople around us which is seldomnoticed will become more appreciableafter seeing this show. We call tomind the well-used Shoe Shine Box loaned by Karl Wirsum. The smellof shoe polish still permiates thisrather intricately constructed tool ofthe shoe shine boy. An ingenioushandle which acts as shoe stand aswell as handle, the U.S. Army tagwhich decorates the box are all in¬dividual ideas of the builder. Thisis the purpose of art shows, to pointout to the viewer things which areleft unnoticed in our society.Although this show is not endowedwith art per se it will be an enjoy¬able experience and will bring asmile to your face.Karl FlickingerCalendar of EventsPaul Tillich, John Nuveen profes¬sor of theology, will speak at ShoreyHouse, Wednesday, April 15 fromeight to ten pm.

Though I havenot seen the stage play, I imaginethat by its translation to the screen,the story has gained nothing but amass market and has indeed lostsome strengths peculiar to the stage;however, the story is still strongenough and the acting fine enough tomake the evening worthwhile. PeterO'Toole as Henry II is superb, andRichard Burton as Thomas Becketis respectable.Before pointing to the movie’sfailings, let me describe its suc¬cesses. First, the story is a gocd one.It is the story of King Henry’s dis¬appointed love for Becket, and bothHenry and Becket are absorbingenough characters to make that story gripping. Moreover, the love storyropes in questions about duty andhonor—tlie Honor of tive Realm andthe Honor of God—and these give thething weight. Then, there is wenchingand wars, a suicide, a trial of sorts,and a murder—mighty and excitingevents, which throw the characterstruggle in a grand and gloriouslight.The play is Henry II’s play; atleast, it is with O'Toole as Henry.Arrogant, childish in his loves andjealousies, aware that he is King butafraid to bear the responsibility,Henry rests on Becket’s shouldersthroughout the first part of the play.He loves Becket and delights in theman who will humbly and faithfullydo his kinging for him while he him¬self wenches and hunts. Becketserves the King not from a personallove but from a love of duty.

New York 20, New York bothered by his inability to love any¬thing more tangible and is botheredby others loving him; he gets by, ashe says, “improvising” his honor.Henry, in struggle with the church,gets Becket apjxjinted Archbishop ofCanterbury in order to have ‘‘hisman” in control. But in entrustingthe church to Becket, Henry hasgiven him something that he can lovecomfortably. Becket comes to bewholly devoted to “the Honor of God”and so in conflict with Henry. Henry,enraged by Becket’s disloyalty anddetermined to fight for “the Honorof the Realm” fights him until heis murdered in the cathedral. After¬wards, political considerations forceHenry to make Becket a saint andto do specacular pennance at histomb, but neither is clearly a victor.Though the King is publicly humbled,his use of Becket is hypocritical anda device to let him go his own way.Part of the point of the story is inthe childishness of the parts the menare playing. Henry is notably child¬ ish and often refers to the strugglein these terms. He charges the dis¬loyal Becket with being “a little boywho doesn't want to play any more.’*Tltis is reflected in the meetings ofstate which are quite like games.King Henry in meeting with thechurch is evidently only playinggames. King L/niiis is playing gameswith Becket and so is the Pope.Yet it is a failing in the movie that,at least with Louis and die Pope,only the gaane-Like aspects of thesituation are apparent. There is noevidence that the game is in anyway serious. The ironical, light toneof the actors makes the affairs ap¬pear entirely .trivial and makes onewonder, “Why the trouble to chroni¬cle it?” The scene with the Popeis entirely ill-conceived. There assome bad humor that does nothingbut leave a bad taste.Burton’s Becket, though respecta¬ble, was nowhere near the strengthof O’Toole’s Henry. Burton was un¬able to convey the poignancy ofDR.

Thus, he pointed out,Gandhi called off his first campaignin India just when It promised to“succeed” because it had begun toslip into violence.Gandhi, in employing saty graha,could appeal to the highest ideals ofhis culture. Whereas the Westernideal of courage emphasizes the bold,the aggressive, the assertive; theIndian ideal emphasizes receiving,submitting, suffering. Thus, saidGalanter, both the Indian participantsand the Indian audiences could relyon a relatively non-coercive program.In turn the British observed limits inrepressing the independence move¬ments. Both were necessary fo<r thesuccess of Gandhi's program.Phyllis Rolnick emphasized theconflicting demands of the practicalstruggle for independence. “Non-vio¬lent action, and the threat of violencego together.

He was 53years old.Dr. Tobias had attended the annualconvention of the Federation ofAmerican Societies for ExperimentalBiology at the Palmer House earlierin the day. Death was attributed to aheart ailment.In January, 1962, he became thefirst UC professor to receive the Re¬search Career Award made by theUnited States Public Health Serviceto outstanding scientists.Dr. Tobias was noted for his re¬search on the way the nervous sys¬tem functions. He had published morethan 50 papers relating to cellularlevel neurophysiology, research inpulmonary edema, and research onmicrometabolism techniques.During World War II, Dr. Tobiasdid research on the treatment of gascasualties and was Chief of the Phy¬siology Section at Edge wood Arsenal, Medical Research Laboratory, nearAberdeen, Maryland, from 1943 to1945.He was born December 21 , 1911,at Toledo, Ohio. He received hisBachelor of Science degree in 1933from the University of Michigan, fiisDoctor of Medicine degree in 1937from Johns Hopkins University, andhis Doctor of Philosophy degree in1944 from UC.Tobias came here in 1941 as aninstructor in physiology.

II chairmanMcKim Marriott, is the work¬ing paper for a Student-Facul¬ty Curriculum Committee dis¬cussion cn Wednesday, AprilIS, at 7:30 pm in Ida Noyeslibrary. The committee asksthat students with questionsabout the course write themdown and submit them at thebeginning of the discussion. about appears in the accompanyinglist of topics: the course concerns theelements of human behavior (identi¬fiable within social, personal, andcultural systems), the social char¬acteristics of human behavior in ur¬ban and industrial societies, the im¬plications of these characteristics forcertain commonly held values, andthe problems involved in bringingabout change deliberately in such ele¬ments, characteristics, and values. context of action). Many hold thatscience requires pure observation de¬tached from considerations of value.A few hold that detachment distortsperception of human events, and thatno abstraction of behavior from itsvalue-laden historical and existentialsituation could be comprehensible.“Culture and Freedom" (SocialSciences 121-2-3, or “Soc. II" forshort) is an experiment in the mean¬ingful integration of knowledge drawnfrom several social science disci¬plines dealing with human behavior.An original collaborative work ofscholarship, it serves the College asa medium for the second year ofgeneral education in the social sci¬ences, and also serves the socialscience faculty of the University asa permanent interdisciplinary seminarof rotating membership. “Culture" and “freedom," twoprominent terms among a dozen ormore key concepts of the course,may also be regarded as synecdochesstanding for a single major dialectic:“culture.” i.e., human action as reg¬ular and determinate, known bydescription and explanation, is thencontrasted with “freedom,” i.e., hu¬man action as choice and policy,approached by evaluation and action. The curriculum of Soc. II is builton the intermediate belief that factand value are closely related butheuristically separable, and that theirrelations are best understood bystudy of both in juxtaposition. Doesthe intermediate position of the Soc.II curriculum form a bridge leadingto understanding, or does it insteadmislead and confuse? nical means by which the resultswere obtained. The writing of termpapers cn individually chosen topicsoften requires some independentlearning of me I hod and technique, butthe course offers no central instruc¬tion in observation, survey, statistics,etc.Should the course give more atten¬tion to methods, perhaps at the ex¬pense of broader and deeper exposureto concepts and results, or shouldsuch training be left to later stagesof education? Is it possible to graspthe meaning of results when mattersof method are minimized or ne¬glected? Is individual research of this kinda valuable experience for most stu¬dents, at this level, or is it appro¬priate only for social science majorsat later stages of learning? Wouldtime be better s|ient on fixed exercises or on preparations for essayexams?191 Heavy reading load vs.light reading load131 A selective interdiscipli¬nary focus vs. a compre¬hensive survey of disci¬plines 151 Ideas vs. factual infor¬mationThe course seeks to elucidate forthe student (a) some basic facts andconcepts important to an understand¬ing of human behavior; (b) somemethods by which questions aboutbehavior may be scientifically askedand answered; and (c) some waysin which questions of fact and ques¬tions of value about human behaviorare distinct, yet also emerge fromand interpenetrate each other. Twelvebooks of readings, seventy-five hoursot discussion, thirty lectures, andthree quarterly papers and examina¬tions are offered to help towardachievement of the course’s objec¬tives.Ill A single theme vs. acomplex of related con¬cernsOne way of stating what Soc.

Differentdiscussion sections currently developthese and other views of the course'smeaning as a whole.Is this variety as it should be?Should the course maintain or en¬large and perhaps more explicitlydeclare its breadth of concerns, orshould it strive toward more uniformdefinition of a single master theme? Soc. II now makes use of someclosely related portions of anthropolo¬gy. psychology, sociology, and poli¬tical science. It does not attempt tosurvey, or sample, or even definethe whole of any one discipline.Should tile course take on the dutyof surveying a group of disciplines,treating each professionally in itsown terms, or should it continue toborrow only that special knowledgewhich is theoretically coherent withthe course’s internal scheme, trans¬lating. freely from one discipline toanother? In emphasizing the interpretationand corn; lari son ol research results,Soc. II currently instructs much moreon concepts and their uses than oncomprehensive information. A stu¬dent reads about human behavior ingangs, tribes, and social classes astype-specimens; he is not asked tolearn which or how many of theworld’s people are found in suchcategories, or how they got there.Should Soc. II continue to selectmaterials primarily for their theore¬tical relevance, or should the courseattempt more than at present to i»r-tray the world us it is? To whatextent should the course inform forcitizenship as well as preparing forscholarship?121 Pure science vs. evalu¬ative scienceWorking for a year through a com¬mon curriculum with a group of col¬leagues provides an educational ex¬perience of a depth rarely encoun¬tered by faculty members at gradu¬ate levels of instruction. The spe¬cialists who work with the Soc. IIstaff contribute new knowledge fromtheir respective disciplines, exchangeideas within a mutually intelligibleidiom, and expand or refresh theiracquaintance with basic knowledgein their own and neighboring disci¬plines. Social scientists boih outside andinside the Soc.

II tends to be in continuousprocess of creation and re-creation.Decisions about the composition oftlie course in a given year oftenreflect debates on the issues listedbelow'. For simplicity’s -Sake, theseissues are stated as polar opposi¬tions, although the positions actuallytaken on any one of them tends tobe somewhere in the middle. About one-third of the readings ofScv. II are works by the foundingfathers ot social science—Durkheim,Freud, Malinowski, Marx, andWeber. Their works have inspiredwhole disciplines, but have also in¬spired heavy criticism or qualificationby subsequent researchers whose dif¬fering views are conveyed in thecourse by 6thcr readings, discussions,or lectures.Does the historical and rhetoricalinterest of these “classics” justifytheir prominent place in the curricu¬lum, and if so, should they be readmore extensively? Or does the re¬hearsal of old arguments absorb en¬ergies which might better lx* appliedto a fuller, more systematic reviewof currently accumulated knowledgeas revised by the latest, perhapsephemeral researches? Ill) Generalized teaching vs.specialized teachingMethods of Instruction171 Primary sources vs. text¬book integrationsThe attention given to “classics"accords with a general and strongpreference in the reading of Soc. IIfor original, first-hand works. No text¬book is used, and the synthesis ofthe varied and sometimes conflict¬ing sources is left largely to instruc¬tors and students in their discussions,assisted occasionally by an integrativelecture, and perhaps ultimately toeach individual in his writing, think¬ing, and experiencing.Is this deliberate incompleteness arealistic and effective challenge, asintended, or does it pose too diffi¬cult a task for most? Because the course contents havebecome a compound whose elementsare not readily extricable, and be¬cause most members of the staff arein it to learn as well as to teach,most instructors prefer to curry theirsections straight through the year.Does the student gain more thanhe loses by this continuity? Dot'she, for example, get a good tasteof anthrojxilcgy reading it under tin*guidance of a political scientist, andvice versa? Do the specialized lec¬tures adequately provide for exjiertteaching?1121 Uniform course vs.variants181 Individual term papers vs.fixed and uniform writtenexercisesIn each quarter of Soc. II everystudent s required to propose atopic of interest to himself and towrite a short research pa|ier on thattopic; no uniform written exercisesor examination essays are required. A broard coordination of knowledgefor the student and mutual stimula¬tion for the staff are virtues furtheredby maintaining a unifo^pi course. Dothese outweigh the values maximizedby ihe independent instructor who canmore closely connect his teachingwith his current research and otherdevelopments of hLs own field? In¬vited lectures by experts, opportuneties for choice and change of instruc¬tor, and further opportunity for choiceof a guide for his research paiier areintended to provide some of thevalues of the variant or specializedcourse whilt retaining the virtues ofthe united staff and course.
