100 years oldThe University of Chicago Friday, October 29, 1965Board rejects school siteby David L. AikenThe Chicago school board Wednesday rejected a proposal for a new high school on thesite of the present Murray elementary school, 53 st. and Kenwood ave.In a more-or-less surprising maneuver, Superintendent of Schools Benjamin C. Willisrequested at the last minute that Kenwood elementary school, 50 st. and Blackstone ave.,-be substituted for Murray in theproposal he had put before theboard. This was also voted down.I ON THE motion by Mrs. Wen¬dell Green, a consistent Willis sup¬porter, to amend Willis’s originalproposal by substituting Kenwood,the vote was six opposed, three in,favor. Those supporting the Willis' request were Mrs. Green, BernardFriedman, and board ChairmanThomas Whiston. The vote againstthe Murray site itself was eight-to-one. with Mrs. Green as the lonedissenter.Observers expressed surprise!rthat Edward Scheffler, a usualWillis backer, had voted againsthim in this case.The vote to substitute Kenwoodfor Murray in Willis’s proposaldoes not necessarily prevent himfrom coming up with a new' propo¬lis sal for a new high school at the2“Kenwood site, according to boardI member James Clement. “It isI theoretically possible” for Willis toI do this, Clement told the MA-I ROON, but added, “I gather that,I * ^ if he made the the proposal again,it would not pass.” He commentedthat he and the other board mem¬bers have not had time to talkabout the Kenwood site.Willis’s proposal included reha¬bilitation of the present Hyde ParkHigh School (HPHS) building at 62st. and Stony Island ave., andplanning for a third high school inthe western end of Hyde Parkabout five or ten years from now.Clement said the Kenwood sitehas “many of the same disadvan¬tages as the Murray site, but notall.” Kenwood is not near a busi¬ness district, as is Murray, Cle¬ment pointed out. It is, however,“too close to the Forrestville dis¬trict,” he said.Forrestville high school servesthe area north of 47th st., justthree blocks from the Kenwoodschool site.“We might just be trading oneintegation problem for another,”Clement said, since it would be“different to keep Forrestville children from attending a newschool” at the Kenwood site.THE BOARD must still face theproblem of alleviating over-crowd¬ing and inadequate facilities at thepresent HPHS. Clement noted thatthis matter must be settled soon,since the budget for next year willcome up for discussion in late No¬vember or early December, andany new building will have to bedecided upon in time to make abudget allocation for it.The board decision was wel¬comed by supporters of the Unityplan for HPIIS, which would con¬vert the present school of about4200 students into four “houses,”or an “educational park,” sharingcommon facilities, with about 1500students each, for a total of 6000students. The present site would beexpanded by acquiring the landimmediately north of the presentschool, and using adjacent Jacksonpark for recreation and athletic fa¬cilities.(Continued on page four) Divinity school celebratesWhile plans are progressingfor the University’s 75th anni¬versary, the UC divinityschool has just launched its100th anniversary celebration.. Jerald C. Brauer, dean of thedivinity school, has announcedplans for a series of seminars andconferences on higher educationand the Christian ministry. Theschool will also mark the year withestablishment of an endowed pro¬fessorship in Roman Catholicthought and life, and another inJewish thought and life.The divinity school has the dis¬tinction of being older than theUniversity, since it was started asthe Baptist Union Theological sem¬inary in 1866. When John D. Rock¬efeller (a devout Baptist) and Wil¬liam Rainey Harper (a professorof Hebrew) announced the organi¬zation of UC in 1890, the trustees ofUC and the seminary agreed tomerge the two institutions. Thisgave UC its first professionalschool, ready-made.In the school’s quarterly publica¬tion Criterion , Brauer writes thatthe goals of the coming year are“acquainting the theological worldwith the present contributions ofour faculty and alumni to theologi¬cal reconstruction,” and gettingsupport from alumni.The first of the series of confer¬ences was held October 11 to 13, onthe history of religions. It featuredthe late Paul Tillich, professor oftheology, speaking on “The signifi¬cance of the history of religions forthe systematic theologican,” andMircea Eliade, distinguished serv¬ice professor in the divinity schooland professor in the committee onsocial thought, on “The new eraof the history of religions.” Gerald C.

(They sayeulogy of the late Paul Tillich,UC professor of theology whodied last Friday, was written forthe Maroon by Martin E. Marty,professor in the divinity school.Marty is also associate editor ofChristian Century magazine,commenting on American cultureand religion.)A few years ago a major Ameri¬can university let the word getaround that it was looking for anew man. To initiate dialogue bet¬ween science, philosophy, and reli¬gion and to begin interdisciplinaryactivity toward the integration ofthe modern university, it was seek¬ing a theologian “somewhat on theorder of Paul Tillich.” Those whoheard of the project smiled: no oneon the order of Paul Tillich exceptPaul Tillich was anywhere in sightin this generation.What that university did aboutits problem and its proposal I donot know. That it used the lateProfessor Tillich as the measurewas not surprising. That Tillichwould have failed to fulfil the ex¬pectations of the university inquestion would not have surprisedhim. He knew as well as did hiscritics that the modern, secularuniversity, in a world of pluralismand specialization, was not lyingaround waiting to get organized bya theologian, no matter who hemight be or how creative he mightbe.TILLICH'S WAS the only nameone might seriously have proposedto bring off some sort of synthesisor integration. The universityUniversity of Chicago stu¬dents will be welcome at thememorial service for Dr. PaulTillich today in RockefellerChapel at 4 pm. Memorial ad¬dresses will be given by Wil¬helm Pauck, professor at theUnion Theological Seminary,New York City; Mircea Eliade,Sewell L. Avery distinguishedprofessor and chairman of thehistory of religions field in thedivinity school; and Jerald C.Brauer, dean of the divinityschool. less well-known person, and almostno one else had the audacity to tryto bridge the disciplines in thename of philosophy and theology.In many ways one could call Til¬lich, who died last week, a misfitin the twentieth century, in theuniversity, and in religious circles.He attempted to articulate a philo¬sophy of being while most philoso¬phers were discussing the meaningof language. By his obsessive at¬tention to profound spiritual con¬cerns, to what concerns man ulti¬mately, he was doing religious peo¬ple a favor. But many of them re¬garded him as a heretic. Hethought of himself first of all as aphilosophical theologian, but manypeople profited most from his com¬ments on literature, the arts, tech¬nology, psychology. He was a mis¬fit because he ventured to proposean all-encompassing synthesis oflearning in an age when all but afew have despaired of finding syn¬thesis and when not many areseeking it. Only the Roman Catho¬lic Teilhard de Chardin matcheshim so far as audacity and potenti¬al are concerned.Those who measure Tillich onlyfrom the viewpoint of the synthesisof learning and integration of thedisciplines of a university throughhis “system of correlation” find itfashionable now to call his projecta failure. By a slight misreading ofhis intentions one could say that hewould have belonged better in themedieval university, as seen by theromantics. There, on her thronewas theology as queen of sciences,with all the other disciplines doingobeisance and getting themselvescorrelated! There, they say, Tillichwould have held court. The univer¬sity never was what the romanticssay it was; the disciplines andtheir representatives have neverreally taken on that posture. AndPaul Tillich would have ruled him¬self out of court in such a setting,would have been embarrassed tohear that he would be expected tofit in there...PAUL TILLICH CHOSE to face“the human condition” not underthe spell of romantic illusions.Much of his attraction for a colle-geiate generation was based on hisability to reckon with reality as he drew 6000 students out in MarioSavio country, speaking on topicswhich from the lips of other theolo¬gians might have drawn six stu¬dents. Why did they identify withhim? Not for Esquire's suggestedreason which was that he treatedChristian teachings as ‘myth’. Mostof the students could not havecared less about mere icoroclasm.Tillich saw, he really saw, some¬thing about the ways life is or¬ganized; about the drama of mean¬inglessness and estrangement; hearticulated his vision. And whilefew followed him in basing theirresponse as he did on a specificontology which had nineteenth cen¬tury (and much longer) roots, theyknow that he opened subjectswhich our generation can cover upand close off only at the peril of itshumanity.Paul TillichNo one else handled these sub¬jects precisely as Tillich did. Weknow of few Tillichians: he attract¬ed students, not a school. It is truethat the current mood in philoso¬phy and theology is more analyticand empirical, less metaphysicalthen Tillich wanted it to be. Heknew he was in some ways a mis¬fit. But his very distance from oth¬er men’s assumptions gave him apower and a motive to converse(Continued on page four)iLetters to the editorCo^p, bookstore presentgrave threat to UniversityTO THE EDITOR:Our reporter in Saigon, Sorez R.Uoy, reports that the news of theresults of the UC Student Govern¬ment referendum brought cheersamong the government forcesthere today. Interviewing Ngo HeuDumb, leader of the Boobist fac¬tion in South Vietnam, has foundthat there had been some alarmover the Student Government pro¬posal. Mr. Dumb stated that con¬sidering the vast impact of UC Stu¬dent Government on national af¬fairs, it was feared that theplanned Washington joy ride mightresult in damage to the presentBoobist-Military ruling coalition inVietnam.In a further statement Dumbpredicted that the vote of no confi¬dence in the SPICK party mightlead to a coup, either by an Ad¬ministration junto or by the Nozifaction. Dumb, a former culturalexchange student at the Universityof Chicago, noted that there haslong been unrest over the SPICKunwillingness to consider local is¬sues of deep concern to the studentbody. One of the local issues hedescribed concerns the UniversityBookstore. Mr. Dumb said thatwhile he was at the University heattended a seminar on moral is¬sues of the Vietnam war given byProf. Slarom Diova, in which 84students were registered. Upon vis¬iting the Bookstore Dumb foundthat only eight copies of the re¬quired text had been ordered. Herequested that more texts be or¬dered, and has been waiting forthree years for his copy. Mr.Dumb also commented on the for¬eign book section of the bookstore,in which he was only able to findthree Mogawi dictionaries (smug¬gler’s size), one Fowendi verbwheel, and two copies of Joys ofthe Dacha by N. S. Krashoff. In¬quiring as to the reason for thisstate, he discovered that the UC“vast” expansion drive made noallowances for improvement of thebookstore facilities and the hiringof competent and well informedadministrative staff. He wonderedwhy the faculty of this regionalcenter of excellence had not com¬plained about the lack of decentBookstore facilities, and was in¬formed that the faculty does notread. Mr. Dumb expressed appre¬ciation, however, at the large sel¬ection of UC sweatshirts, under¬clothing, and souvenirs. He statedthat he was instituting a programto send Bookstore hotdogs to theViet Cong as careless packages.Mr. Dumb closed the interview with the hope that, in order toforestall a coup, the Student Gov¬ernment would address itself tosome of the grinding problems ofthe students. “After all”, he said,“student life can’t all be picketsand Washingotn Holidays.”TOM MARKEYWAYNE LANIERPoll an attempt to denypro-American Viet voteTO THE EDIROR:The Maroon, like its counterpartThe Worker, has shrunk from adaily to a bi-weekly. Unfortunately,though, neither has lost its desireto issue half truths or hide truthsthat would embarrass its point ofview.You attempt to “clarify” the is¬sue with a poll. Yet the “keypoints” chosen by the pollers werethose points passed mainly by un¬dergraduates, with little or no rep¬resentation from the business orlaw schools. With your very un¬random sample the results were aforegone conclusion.Your excuses why the referen¬dum lost are even worse. Both theMaroon and Miss Woods pointedout that any negative vote w'ouldbe interpreted as a vote in favor ofthe war. Both of you showed howmoney and the trip to Washingtonwere merely side issues whichshould not be confused with themain issue, the war in Viet Nam.Now that the pro- Americans onthe student body have shown them¬selves to be an overwhelming ma¬jority, the Maroon seems to consid¬er it its duty in life to hide thisfact from anybody who’ll listen tothem.Gentlemen, you have failed.

HESLEP Urges signing of petitionto clarify SG referendumOne of the most serious conse¬quences of the defeat of the VietNam referendum is that the pressand public will construe the resultsas a vote in support of the Admin¬istration policy in Viet Nam by theUC student. The Chicago Tribunewill cite this as proof that the vastmajority of students even at such“radical” schools as UC find noth¬ing wrong with the conduct of thewar. They will be of course ignor¬ing the specific context of the ref¬erendum which the student bodywas asked to vote upon, the man¬date section, and the entire ques¬tion of the role of Student Govern¬ment in this type of issue.With the hope of dispelling thisillusion and of setting forth a posi¬tive expression of disagreementwith the Viet Namese policy, theUC Independent Voters of Illinois—Americans for Democratic Action,along with other student organiza¬tions is circulating a petition con¬cerning our country’s Viet Nampolicy.The context of the petition is farbroader than that of the referen¬dum. The narrow context of thereferendum and the controversysurrounding the mandate sectionforced many, who oppose the waror would like to see a greatermovement on the part of our gov¬ernment toward peace talks, tovote against the referendum. Thepetition being circulated manifestsa far broader spectrum of opinionand represents a compromise be¬tween a somewhat more moderateand somewhat more radical viewof the war, worked out originallybetween Howard Greenwald, writerof a letter favoring the referen¬dum which appeared in last Fri¬day’s Maroon and myself.Those who sign the petition neednot agree with all of its provisions.It enumerates several differentareas of criticism. The petitionstates that “for ANY of the follow¬ing reasons, we oppose our govern-ment’s current policy.”The existance of this petition andthe purpose behind it was an¬nounced almost simultaneouslywith the results of the referendum.The results of the petition will bemade available to the press. Thepetitions themselves will be pre¬sented to Senator Paul Douglas athis home in Hyde Park.Petitions can be picked up in theStudent Government office anytimeduring the day.

This action ap¬parently means that the board un¬derstands and supports the strongopposition of the Woodlawn andHyde Park- Kenwood communitiesto the building of a separate highschool in Hyde Park or Kenwood.(It should be noted that no othersites are available outside of Wood-lawn.)”“We hope,” Benston continued,“that the board will now take agreat step forward for our area by-asking the city department ofurban renewal (DUR) to acquirethe necessary land for the educa¬tion park and by asking Dr. Willisto consult with foundations and UCto plan and build the park.” Ac¬cording to Benston, Willis with¬drew the Murray proposal because“he knew' he was going to be de¬feated.”AT WEDNESDAY'S meeting.Clement introduced a series of mo¬tions to “ask DUR to clear theland around the present HPHS” foreducational use, and to “acquire asmuch of the commercial propertyas possible on the north side of 63street along the IC tracks,” so thisarea would be improved. Thesemotions were deferred until thenext regular board meeting, No¬vember 10.Edward Palmer, chairman of theschools committee of the HydePark-Kenwood Community Confer¬ence (HPKCC said the board’srejection of the Murray site “doesnot affect our position” for a“school in, around, or adjacent toHyde Park.” HPKCC never tooka stand favoring any particularsite, Palmer stressed, and thereremain several possible sites inaddition to the Kenw'ood schoolsite.He mentioned the Kozminski school site, 53d near Drexel; some,where in the south campus areabetween 60 and 61 streets fromCottage Grove ave. ot Stony Islandave.; and the area along CottageGrove just south of WashingtonPark.Palmer stressed that KPKC’.only objects to a school as large aj6000 students to serve all of Dis.trict 14, whifh comprises Hyd»Park-Kenwood and Woodlawn. In.stead, Palmer said, the Conferencefavors a new school for about halfthe children of the district. T|_Conference does not insist on \school which w-ould serve onlyHvde Park-Kenwood.The Kenwood site has some ad¬vantages, Palmer noted, becausethe board already owns much dthe land to be used, and it is neattransportation. There are also dttadvantages, since it would requiredemolition of a good elementaryschool, without adequate replace¬ment, and it is “closer to residen¬tial areas than we probably like."ACCORDING TO Willis’s state-ment in asking for a Kenwood sitethe site of the present school is 44,t833 square feet, and 96,862 sq. ft.will be acquired from the urbanrenewal department. In addition,another 52,114 sq. ft. is designatedin the urban renewal plans forschool uses, and an additional 12000 sq. ft. could be acquired on tt^block between Blackstone, Harper,and Hyde Park blvd.Without this last acquisition, thesite would total 193,809 sq. ft.

Goright ahead.Maroon: Where were you educat¬ed?Heiserman: Here. Entirely here. Icame here when I was 17, just outof high school. I got a HutchinsAB, then a Master’s degree—athree year MA, as it was called atthat time.Maroon: I know; we still havesome relics of it.Heiserman: And then I got a Ph.D.in the department of English Ac¬tually, at that time I had no ideathat I wanted to be an academic. Iwent to work for a radio and TVstation out in Arizona after I gotmy Master’s degree. I was therefor a year. I discovered that I waslying for a living, really; I waswriting commercials and that sortof thing. I took a teaching job atthe University of Nebraska for acouple of years—I found that Iwanted to be a teacher—and then Icame back for a Ph D. here.Maroon: How has your teachingexperience here been?Heiserman: I guess it’s alwaysbeen happy. . . I’ve taught bothgraduate and undergraduate•ourses. Since the very beginning.I’ve been a part-time adminis¬trator as well.Maroon: Which did you prefer, un¬dergraduate or graduate teach¬ing?Heiserman: The idea here is to doboth, about 50-50. That is, I have aprofessional life of scholarshipwhich ideally should grow out ofgraduate teaching. When you pre¬pare a graduate course, yourscholarship and ideas reverberateagainst graduate students, and youlearn things—at least I do. I’m stillin the stage where I know that Ilearn things. On the other hand,what I learn—this sounds veryegoistic—to teach in order tolearn. , .Maroon: Mr. Redfield said exactlythe same thing.Heiserman: Oh?Maroon: That ideally any educa¬tional system is set up in order tobenefit the teacher—in a nonfinan-cial way, that is.Heiserman: There certainly istruth in that, because if the teach¬er is being benefitted, it is becausehe has been stimulated by hisgroup to a certain point—thegrowth point—where everybody ismaking discoveries. And that canhappen as well in an undergrad¬uate course as in a graduatecourse. In a graduate course,though, your learning is somehowmore professional, while in an un¬dergraduate course, your learningis more personal, more intimate.There’s a kind of fundamental pur¬ity about your learning there. But Ican’t conceive of doing one kind ofteaching without the other, really.Maroon: I’d like to ask you aboutthe new humanities college. Nowdon’t consider everything you sayas a policy statement: I know thatthere will be twelve old men mak¬ing the decisions with you. . .Heiserman: Eight.Maroon: Eight?Heiserman: Well, nine, Includingmyself.Maroon: What are your dreams forthis college?Heiserman: Well, I dream in two aspects—of the same dream. Oneis the faculty member’s dreamthat the thing called humanitieswill be beautifully, essentially, andentirely represented in a series ofcourses that would be exciting foreverybody (I’ll try not to use theword “exciting” too much). Mydream is that somehow the human¬ities are fully represented, that ev¬eryone in the college will have thechance to find out what they cando.The other aspect of the dream isthat the students acquire the dis¬ciplines and the feeling for them. Ihope that the humanities are rep¬resented for all undergraduates inthis way, and that the students,whether they become physicists, orchairmen of the board, or Ph.D’sin art history, are aware of the to¬tal of what the humanities are.Maroon: When you say that youwant everyone to have the humani¬ties, is there some doubt in yourmind that the colleges are develop¬ing, the humanities may be elimi¬nated or seriously curtailed forsome students?Heiserman: No, I don’t think thatthere is such a danger.Maroon: You expressed your hopesin such a tentative way. . .Heiserman: The tentativeness re¬flects that I’m not sure that theyare being represented.Maroon: How do you think that thepresent courses are deficient?Heiserman: First of all, I thinkthat the present courses are su¬perb. I’ve been doing a study ofcatalogues of comparable collegesin this country, and I know thatthe catalogue descriptions are forthe most part rhetorical and insome parts untrue. . .Maroon: Nicer than life?Heiserman: . . .and when I beganto read these catalogues I did sowith a more keen sense of unhap¬piness about our own course than Inow have. I came out of the read¬ing with the hope that our owncourse already gives us a leg up tothe kind of thing I had in mind.Much more than even the best col¬leges one could think of.The deficiency, I suppose, comesnot from the scheme of the human¬ities courses here, but from whathas happened to the scheme. Ithink that there might be Nschemes used to present the hu¬manities. The one that is in opera¬tion here is probably one of thebetter ones. There is nothing de¬ficient in the scheme. What hashappened is that the implementa¬tion of the scheme in the teach¬ing of the humanities courses hasprobably become confused. Peoplewho teach the humanities are peo¬ple who have been trained, by andlarge, to teach in a particularfield, rather than teaching a dis¬cipline. There is a difference be¬tween teaching a field like poli sci,or zoology, or music, and teachinga discipline, the difference betweena subject matter and the ideas,principles, and organization whichunderlie the subject matter. Thescheme here implies the discipline—a way to read history, a way tolook at a picture—we can’t ob¬viously give the student the wholefield. What we do is to introducehim to the discipline, and for therest of his life, presumably he willbe . . . doing it. Exercising thisdiscipline on various subject mat¬SAMUEL A.

But the people who comehere are, by and large, profession¬als in a field. They have not al¬ways acquired a grasp of the dis¬cipline. They come here preparedin short to teach graduate coursesin the field, and then they areasked to go right to the roots ofthe field and teach the discipline,and this is very difficult for them.And the whole American highereducational system cries outagainst this. It produces Ph.D’swho are experts in the field, andalmost all of them have no senseof what their discipline is. So,when they come here, they feelthat it is not a part of their pro¬fessional life; they resist it—and I resisted it myself when Ifirst came here. They resist thestaff-taught course; they feel theyought to have perfect freedom;and it’s difficult for them to submitthemselves to the staff and the dis¬cipline. So that the difficulties arereally inherent in the Americaneducational enterprise.Maroon: A certain professionalism,which puts the young Ph.D’s abovethe level where they can reallyteach simple things like how toread?Heiserman: Yes. Most of ourteachers, thank God, have not goneto college here. As a result, theireducation has been deficient—sowe have to educate them again. Sothat accounts for most of the defic¬iencies in the teaching in the cur¬rent scheme. The question then be¬comes, how to deal with the almostoverpowering realities of Americancollegiate teaching?Maroon: The new-style humanitiescourse, which is going to be taughtin two separate quarters of art,music, and literature, seems to bean accession to professionalism,for now a teacher will teach hisown subject, rather than trying toimpart a sense of the entire disci¬pline.Heiserman: It’s an accession toreality, to historical fact. We sim¬ply cannot find people who canteach all three fields at the highlevel of sophistication which is de¬manded by our students thesedays. And if we can find them,they are reluctant to do it for verylong. There are two historicalcauses involved: the humanitieshave become more professional,like everything else, so young menare not willing to teach generalcourses so much; secondly, outstudents have become more sophis¬ticated. Sputnik’s effects are obser¬vable even in the humanities.So the past course, which was awonderful course—and it remainsunique—was originally designedfor juniors in high school, and itgot into the curriculum by a seriesof historical flukes. The fact is nowbecoming more apparent: the newstudents show a sophisticationabout the arts which the old coursedid not assume. So the accommo¬dation this fall reflects both histori¬cal facts. Maroon: Is this sophistication ob¬servable in the results of place¬ment tests?Heiserman: I have not the data onthis, and I’m only repeating whatothers have said, but I think thatprobably the placement standardshave gone up and up and up. Nowthis doesn’t necessarily mean thatthe students who take the coursedon’t profit by it—they fight it,some of them, but many come tothe realization, years later, that thiswas a very important course forthem.Maroon: Some friends in my yearhave said that while they sawsome value in Hum 1, they sawnone in Hum 11. What about that?Heiserman: I am now teaching aone-quarter version of Hum 11 (En¬glish 301) to graduate students whoare highly selected. It embodiesthe essence of Hum 11—we readsome history, some philosophy, fic¬tion, poetry, etc. Without excep¬tion, the students come to me—without exception, and that is whythe course has been maintained fortwenty years—they tell me that alltheir lives they didn’t know how toread, how to take apart a para¬graph. This what Hum 11 should bedoing. It should provide undergrad¬uates with a revelation—here theywere the smartest people in theirhigh school classes, and they real¬ize that they didn’t know how toreally read until then. If it doesn’tdo this, then it’s failed. In otherwords, there’s nothing wrong withthe idea of Hum 11; something maybe wrong with the way it’s beingdone.Maroon: Do you think somethingwrong with when Hum 11 comes outin the student’s schedule. In yourproposal for the new English Compcourse, you state that in at leastone version of the course studentswill read good works of literature—including philosophy—in theirentirety. Now isn’t that going to bea bit like Hum 11?Heiserman: No, I didn’t meanthat. The new course in rhetoricwill—unlike the old one—deal withworks that are of the highest qual¬ity. Secondly, it will deal withthem, whenever possible, in theirentirety. And if the course workswell, it will teach people to readsuch works—all kinds of works.But the basis orientation of thecourse is, how to write. The as¬sumption behind the change is thatif one looks at the great writers,one will learn how to write.

All we can do inthem is to give skills, perhaps toadd a certain richness to theirlives. Our notion is that anyprofessional man’s life is somehowless full if he doesn’t know how topossess the arts.Maroon: What changes do you en¬vision for humanities in the collegeunder this new system?Heiserman: I don’t know. The op¬portunities are absolutely open.Any kind of system could be enact¬ed by the governing committee ofthe college when they meet to de¬cide changes. It might decide, forexample, to have the eleven hu¬manities majors, plus servicecourses for the other collegia di¬visions, and no other curriculum.Professors would just be invited togive the courses they want to give,with the students free to selectthem. This is one end of the possi¬bilities. The other end might be tohave a core, prescribed curriculumfor all students in the humanitiescollege, like a one-year course ineach of their four years whichwould lead them progressivelythrough all of the fields within thehumanities. All the students in thehumanities college would share acommon experience. Personally, Iam for the second of these two al¬ternatives. I suspect that what willreally happen is an accomodationof these two ideas.Of course, I would want ail stu¬dents in the humanities to havecourses in the sciences and, moreparticularly, in the social sciences—in history. Why there should becourses required in firstly, biologi¬cal sciences, secondly mathemat¬ics, thirdly physical sciences, I amnot quite sure.

I wouldlike to take such a course myself. Ipersonally took two superbcourses, one in biology and one inphysics—the biology was more ex¬citing. We could model our curric¬ulum for the customer. That is,we know there is a humanities stu¬dent—he has elected the humani¬ties in some way—and we tailorour requirements for him.Maroon: Well, I’m a humanistmyself, but according to what youhave said, a chemist could say, “Iam sure that all my studentsshould know all that is contained inthe College chem courses. But youhumanists should devise a one-quarter course in language, and aone-quarter course in art, music,and literature, and a one quartercourse in history and philosophy.That adds up to one year, andwe’ll wrap the whole thing up in aneat little package and call it. . .Heiserman: I see what you’re get¬ting at. The people in the otherfields and disciplines would lay mewide open to just that kind ofstatement. I would have to say,“All right, you tell me what weought to know.” I am chastised. Iagree with you.Maroon: 1 didn’t mean to attackyou. I like the idea of morecourses in the humanities, but Ididn’t know how the scienceswould feel about encroaching ontheir territory.Heiserman: The structure of thecollege will make it necessary thatthere be one course in biology andone in physical science. Mathemat¬ics may have to be taught with thephysical science—I just don'tknow. There’s the possibility.Maroon: What do you think is bas¬ically wrong with the College to¬day?Heiserman: Well I don’t think there’s anything wrong with itnow. It’s in such a turmoil that onecould hardly say that it exists now.It is striving for the new for of or¬ganization.Maroon: What were the basicfaults in its organization? Whatcalled for the change?Heiserman: Like all human struc¬tures, it did not achieve perfection,so change was demanded by thevery nature of the thing. Therewas-no apparatus or means of ef¬fecting change. The College metand deliberated as a faculty, as agroup of two hundred men. In abody of that size, it’s very difficultfor it to make decisions, curriculardecisions, policy decisions, person¬nel decisions. What the Levi reor¬ganization has done, is madechange more feasible by setting upan apparatus by which decisionscan be made, checked, refined. Noone knows what these changes willbe, but the Levi plan sets upmachinery, bodies which can de¬cide.Maroon: But would anyone gothrough the immense amount oftrouble, politicking and writing upa proposal of that size, if nochange were indicated?Heiserman: Change was indicatedfrom the outset. The Faculty Sen¬ate could simply not resolve thevarious interests within itself. Anysociety is bound to have conflictinginterests, and has to set up ways ofresolving those differences.Maroon: Could you give me anexample?Heiserman: Well it wasn’t as if de¬cisions were not made, but no onewas satisfied with them. Theywere made.. . .Maroon: Ad hoc?Heiserman: Exactly.Maroon: Part of what the Levi re¬port does is to establish responsi¬bility with the provost and thedean of the College, who have ashare in appointing the forty mancommittee and in each of the com¬ mittees of the collegiate divisions,It establishes an executive po\*|cr,where previously there was only achaotic legislature.Heiserman: Yes, that’s right.Maroon: And it also establishesresponsibility with Mr. Levi andMr. Booth.

But do you thinkthere will be any directing powerinvested in the provost or the deanof the College, or both? I mean,it’s clear to me that, althoughthere will be only five collegiatedivisions instead of God knows howmany staffs coming up with ideas,there will still be conflicts of inter¬est between the divisions.

It depends on what thefaculty wants.Maroon: So you think that underthe Levi plan, there may be agreater fragmenting of knowledgethan there was before?Heiserman: I think it entirely pos¬sible. What the Levi plan does, isnot only to give us a mode of op¬eration, but it turns the wholething back to the faculty. If therealities of life—and this faculty—are such, then it will be re¬flected in the College curriculum.Personally, I think that the tra¬ditions are such that it will nothappen.Maroon: Once this fragmentationhas occurred—if it does—how coulda faculty that was opposed to thisdisseverance combat it?Heiserman: One way would be to require courses from other coI-|leges within the university.

No. I The University of Chicago October 29. 1965VON ASCHENBACH REVISITEDStitch, by Richard G. Stern.Harper & Row. $4.95W“In his youth, indeed, the na¬ture and inmost essence of theliterary gift had been, to him, thisvery scrupulosity; for it he hadbridled and tempered his sensibil-• ities, knowing full well that feelingis prone to be content with easygains and blithe half-perfection.”— Death in VeniceA careful book, a fine book, a► book written with reserve and dis¬cipline and sure knowledge. If loveis lacking, is this any flaw? Ah,Richard Stern, have you alreadychosen between Stitch and Nina?The book: much closer in tone toIn Any Case (his preceding novel)than to the more widely known andrather more flamboyant Golk , thiscareful novel is one of character^ revelation rather than characterdevelopment. It deals with an ag¬ing and famous sculptor, an aim¬less young American on indefiniteleave from the business world, hiswife, and a young female poet. The^setting is Venice; here the sculptorStitch has removed himself tospend the last 40 years creating hismagnum opus, a varied collectionof sculpture, on an island given tohim by the State; here the youngAmerican, Edward, has flown withhis family and here he drifts; “It’s... easier not to work here” he ex¬plains to the poetess Nina; she isin Europe because of the libraries^ and because it’s “easier for a girlon her own.”Their story is one of few mean¬ingful actions taken, a story inwhich their interaction serveslargely to reveal them, in somecases to themselves, in some casesonly to the reader. Ultimatelythere is separation when theAmerican family returns to theStates.There is separation not only ulti¬mately but throughout, as charac¬ters touch each other only throughthought, only tangentially, whileeach concerns himself chiefly withselecting from the world aroundhim that which can serve him tosome purpose. These people are notbasically givers, and they are notwarm (though Stitch is too great aman not to know how to love andhow to give). We come upon themall in troubled times, when each isdriven by great personal need.One effect of having such self-involved, humorless characters isthat the reader’s sympathy islargely neutralized. It is meant tobe; Stitch is an analysis, done withperception and clarity—and thereader reads analytically. Sternhas disciplined himself to knowwhen it is not in his interest tomake his characters ‘likeable’.Thus none but the most velvet- gloved tugs at one’s sympathy oc¬cur here. Any intoxication is sureto be mental, not sensual or emo¬tional, and it occurs especially inthose heady sections in whichStitch’s private thoughts are laidbefore us. The power and vividnessof these snatches of thought fromthe heart of a great mind testifyimpressively to the qualities ofmind of the man who wrote them.The organization of the book issound; it dwells on each of the fourcharacters alternately so that read¬er attention is evenly divided andevenly developed for each. Thereare a few lapses from the past intothe present tense, drawing atten¬tion with greater immediacy wherenone seems needed, but this is aflaw of superfluity, not deficiency.The wonderful flow of words fromStern’s carefully disciplined pencancels a hundredfold such flaws.His descriptions contain delightfulnovelty of thought and constantvividness (“The great breadth ofthe Piazza was scarcely a gauze oflight, and the Campanile, whichusually loomed up in front of himlike the Empire State Building,was a vague guess of stone withinthe general death of distinction”).He deals more heavily in thought than in the spoken word, thusmeeting each individual where heis most himself, and creates withconsummate skill four distinctiveminds each busy with its uniquefragments of thought. His wordsadapt their pace and tone to timeand circumstance as well as per¬son; in the numbing temperatureof a winter day, Stitch’s thoughtsare cold old hopeless weak bitterthoughts like short breaths gaspedin the cold.This is, in truth, an intellectual’snovel (novices may audit) whereinthe chief joy lies in following theunfolding of exceptional personali¬ties.Stitch is the most memorablecharacter, for his is the richest ex¬perience and the profoundestmind. Despairing wearily at whathe believes to be the imminent col¬lapse of the last virtues of theWestern World, Stitch sees himselfalternately as the last Great Man,and as (in actuality despite his in¬sights) a failure. He fears that allhis works are but scattered notesinstead of a great and comprehen¬sive whole. We see him standingastride two worlds—the past, inwhich great men and their workscould exist; the future, in which allhope of beauty and the extraordi¬ nary man is buried beneath thesuffocating rubble that is mass so¬ciety. He has been a great man,widely accomplished and wise inmany things; he has been a failure,responding to too many diversepassions and letting himself be¬come undisciplined.In this he prefigures Edward,the indecisive American dilettante,more than he would care to know.Edward is to him exemplary of theway of life that is taking over—Edward the “groveler, a witness ofevents ... a second-hand dealer,(possessing) not knowledge butopinion.”' Edward, the dallier ingroves of pleasure and academealike, lacking in responsibility toself and family, Edward the self-deceived, refusing cheerily to knowhimself at all. While Stitch couldtell much of this to Edward (andburns maliciously to do so whenself-confident) he is not the seerEdward thinks he is. Edward cow¬ers before him because Stitch isferociously critical of him, and toEdward, with his permanentlymisplaced center of gravity, thisindicates sure knowledge. Evencowering, Edward is not much in¬fluenced by Stitch.Nina the poetess is merely a pro¬vider of some warm, stimulating,and frustrating moments in Ed¬ward’s migratory life; for Stitchshe is almost an inspiration. Hewould like to let himself believethat her talent and singleness ofpurpose mark her for the sort ofgreatness whose passing he la¬ments. We see at the end that shehas begun not only to work but tosucceed, and throughout the bookshe stands in contrast to bothStitch and to the hopelessly aimlessEdward. Stitch is a very real in¬fluence in her life, for when shebegins to write, it is with the ideaof both pleasing him and makinghim see that she has greatnesswithout need of the love experienceand sensual warmth that he says islacking in her work.We are surely meant to askwhether it is better to live likeStitch or like Nina—the one leav¬ing room in his life for passion andspontaneity; the other determined¬ly excluding from hers sensualityand all other involvements whichwould detract from her drive to¬ward achievement. We are meantto ask; but Stern does not providethe answer. This is only one ofmany problematic questions aboutmodes of human existence whichlie in wait in these chapters; thereare very few answers. This is oneof the qualities which makes Stitchan eminently serious book, and aprovocative one.Susan YaegerMiss Yaeger is a fifth-year studentin the committee on generalstudies in the humanities.. . . - ■■ 1 ■ ■■■ ■A LEGACY TO HIS COUNTRYMENThe Oxford History of the Ameri¬can People, by Samuel Eliot Mori-son. Oxford University Press.$12.50“This book,” writes ProfessorMorison in his introduction, “is alegacy to my countrymen afterstudying, teaching, and writing thehistory of the United States forover half a century.” The heirsshould be pleased with the legacy.Many adjectives can be used todescribe this book. It is arresting,captivating, flowing, nostalgic,charming, bright, bubbling, per¬sonal, erudite, and uninhibited. Itis at the same time often trivial,superficial, tangential, and, aboveall, opinionated. In all, ProfessorMorison has produced a readableand often amusing panorama ofAmerican history from the trans-Siberian migration of the Indiansto the Kennedy administration.Certainly Professor Morison’squalifications entitle him to pre¬sent his legacy to the Americanpeople. Professor emeritus ofAmerican history at Harvard, au¬thor of forty-two volumes rangingfrom the definitive history of Har¬vard University, through the lastword in English on Columbus, tothe monumental History of U. S.Naval Operations in World WTar II.He has witnessed history, and af-er reading his account of eventssince the Wilson-Taft-Rooseveltelection of 1912, it is obvious thathe has known most of those whohave made recent United Stateshistory.One of the most outstandingqualities of this book is the au¬thor’s injection of his own opinionsinto it. Some readers will doubtlessfind this disturbing; others will ithumorous. In addition to the Ad¬miral’s salty language (Morisonholds the rank of Admiral, U.S.N.Ret.) the reader is constantly ex¬posed to his private views. He likesDemocrats and democrats, horse-breeding, yachting, Sullivan andWright, Henry Adams and Long¬fellow, the Roeblings, and JohnKennedy (though Kennedy“hedged” on McCarthy).

McArthur was superb in Ja¬pan, but not so good in Korea. Tru¬man was good everywhere. Frank¬lin D. Roosevelt was an opportun¬ist, a patrician, a conservative anda democrat, and Morison applaudsall.Equally specific is the authorabout his dislikes. William McKin¬ley was “a kindly soul in a spine¬less body.” Jim Farley, SenatorsBorah and McCarthy, and PrimeMinister Nehru will never be invit¬ed to the Morisons’ for tea. TheAdmiral apparently has set hismind against super-highways, Re¬publicans, H.U.A.C. and automo¬biles. He deplores Juvenile Delin¬quency—in the 1920’s, the 1930’s,the 1940’s, the 1950’s and now, butnot before 1914! Professor Mori¬son would apparently have like tosee less inflexibility in PresidentWilson’s character. PresidentEisenhower is succinctly appraisedas “valetudinarian.”Added to the distinctiveness ofhis opinions is the pungency of hisprose. Philip II we find, tried to“rub out” Elizabeth I of England.Between 1763 and 1766 segmentsof the British Empire fairly“slopped over with expressions ofloyalty.” James Wilkinson “rat¬ted” on Aaron Burr, and the Jack¬sonian Democrats did not want thegovernment “messing” into theirbusiness profits. John Brown, thereader, is authoritatively told, was“a madman with a plan.” TheRockefeller Institute for MedicalResearch, Morison writes, is “oneof the many institutions throughwhich the Rockefeller family haveput their ill-gotten wealth to theservice of mankind.”Woodrow Wilson, according toProfessor Morison was unknowl-edgable enough to call Pancho Vil¬la a “Sir Galahad,” though the au¬thor avers that in Villa’s presence“no virtuous woman was safe.” Itmay be just as well then to read onand find that President Wilson’schief function in World War I was“that of a top-level coordinator ofmilitary activity, and super-cheer¬leader of the nation.” While ela¬borating upon conditions on thehome front during that war theauthor scored the “unofficial spy¬hunting that engaged the energyof frustrated old women of bothsexes.” His jolly romp through thetwentieth century is interspersedwith vignettes culled from conver¬sations with Eisenhower, Truman,McArthur, Stevenson and others.The effect is engaging, and oftenamusing. “Uncle Joe” Cannon heconfidently tells us was “vulgarblatherskite,” and the writings ofEric Johnson and Joseph E. Daviesconcerning Stalin’s Russia is justso much “flapdoodle.” Equally ar¬resting is a section headed “Boot¬legging and Other Sports.”The reader is also edified withvarious bits of trivia which areoften enlightening, and alwaysgood for dinner table conversation(when dining among historians).Nassau Hall at Princeton, he as¬sures all, was the largest buildingin the British colonies. At aboutthis time (1760) “Philadelphia al¬ ready had three semi-public li¬braries, a college, three newspa¬pers (one in German), the onlyhospital in North America, andBenjamin Franklin.” The fascinat¬ed reader is astonished to discoverpassages on the development ofpublic health and sewage in 1850,and the advent of the windowscreen in a mosquito-infested land.The foregoing no doubt leavesone with the idea that this is lessthan a serious work, and this is nothonestly the case. It is a good book,and interesting reading. As somesegments of it cause the reader tosmile, so others will leave Mr. Mor¬ison’s audience puzzled. He viewsthe American Indian as would anineteenth century New Englandreformer. His section on pre-Columbian Indians is good, and hedelivers a sympathetic account ofthe relations between the Red manand the White since then. Notingthat after Sequoyah developed theCherokee written language the In¬dians became very civilized (in¬deed, more so than their neigh¬bors), he injects the opinion thatthe inhabitants of Faulkner’s Yok-napatawpha county appear to beno “improvement over the Chicka¬saw whom they replaced.”His treatment of the AmericanNegro is of mixed merit. It is asthough he is perfectly in sympathywith the goals of the civil rightsmovement, but does not know thefirst thing about the Negro or hishistory. He mentions slave revolts,Crispus Atticus and Phillis Wheat-ley, but he avows that the Negroaccepted his slave status, got funout of life due to his adaptive qual¬ities, and made an excellent slave!He writes this in spite of his ac¬knowledgement of slave revolts,runaway slaves, and, the constantlydeclining birth rate among slaves.He states that “it should not beforgotten that the African slavetrade began among the Negroesthemselves in Africa. . . ”, but doesnot acknowledge the differencebetween chattel and householdslavery, nor any of the other rele¬vant factors. His view is that theywere better off here as slaves thanas free men in Africa.With these few but importantexceptions, the book is a very goodone. Its overall organization, basedon chronological and regional de¬velopments, is well executed. Ofreal merit is his attempt to dealwith American foreign relationsthrough our entire history, some¬thing which few American histo¬ries encompass. Canada is giventhe attention she deserves, andLatin American relations are dis¬cussed. His interpretation of someevents suffers, however, because ofthe brevity with which he musthandle them. Often half truths arepresented. He still seems to acceptGerman guilt for World War I inspite of the work of Sidney Fayand BernadoUe Schmidt. Ferdi¬nand VII of Spain is described asan “imbecile,” but by 1816 Morisonadmits that his armies did sup¬press all but the La Plata revolt.This is not the only intemperatejudgment Morison delivers. In ref¬erence to the United States expedi¬tion which entered Mexico in 1917, he says the “cost of this Interven¬tion was well worth the practice itafforded the army.” This readercringes. Judgments of Americandomestic affairs are not alwaysclear either. Harding, Coolidge,and Hoover were “inept” as Presi¬dents in Morison’s judgment, butHughes, Mellon and Hoover in thecabinet were “statesmen” and “ex- Icellent.” Maybe Hughes was, but jhe might reconsider his judgmentof Mellon. Hoover’s merit is debat¬able.From the technical standpointthe book deserves both brickbatsand bouquets. The bouquets go tothe maps, and illustrations. Themaps are clear, easy to read, andpertinent. The one of “The Carib¬bean in the Colonial Era” simpli¬fies the routes of discovery, andclarifies the picture for the readerby using arrows instead of lines totrace the voyages of the conquista-dores. The others are equally good,but nowhere is there a map of themodern United States, nor of the ■topography of North America.Professor Morison’s inclusion ofsome thirty-six popular songs is apleasant diversion.One thing which the present vol¬ume does need is better editorial -work. “Americans,” ProfessorMorison incorrectly writes, “re¬ceived no Nobel awards for phys¬ics, chemistry or medicine prior to1923. Albert A. Michelson and T.W. Richards received prizes in <ph ysics in 1907 and chemistry in j1914 respectively, and Alexis Car¬rel, though born in France, wasliving in the United States when hereceived the award in 1912 for hiswork in medicine. The first sus¬tained nuclear reaction occurred in1942, not 1941, and Franklin D.Roosevelt did not receive a degreefrom the Columbia Law School,which he left after two years.These errors, while trivial, couldhave been eliminated by a percep¬tive editor. 1In sum then, it might be saidthat Professor Morison has writ¬ten an entertaining, readable andinteresting book which will appeal jto the general reader, and will |serve as a pleasant review for theprofessional. There are no new in¬sights here, but the existing bodyof material is presented well.Morton E.

Grove Press.$12.95Ever been vaguely disturbed by‘•■Vhe fact that, having endured John¬ny Mathis releases at six monthintervals, you can recapture thesame spirit and the same nausea byshelling out $5 for the latest ver¬sion of “Johnny Mathis’ Greatest*Hits”?Well, the literary world has justcome up with its version of same.: By shelling out $12.50, you can re-I capture the spirit and much of thef nausea of the twelve years of theOlympia Press, a Paris-based out¬fit that dispenses its slightly-above-plain-brown-wrapper farein English for the express purposeof frustrating courts, titillatingtourists, and wreaking havoc withnjS Customs.Olympia’s editor is MauriceGirodias, himself an engaginglysarcastic writer but one who, sadly,has been notably short on leisuretime these last few years. As theenfant terrible of the printing world, he has been persecuted bythe police, harrassed by Frenchcourts, and sneered at by old ladiesin the street. But he hasn’t beendeterred. The Olympia Reader,Girodias’ testimonial to his ownboldness and hardship, is proof ofthe pudding.Between the covers of the Read¬er are some of the most renowned“court case” authors of our time,who are coincidentally enoughprobably among our best. Thereare four Henry Miller selections,three of William Burroughs, a Phi¬lip O’Connor, a Lawrence Durrell.There is Jean Genet at his mostcontroversial, Gregory Corso at hismost intriguing, Samuel Beckett athis curtest.For those who like to turn backthe clock, there is Fanny Hill andde Sade’s Justine. For those wholike to believe in the Parisian liter¬ary underground, there is a bevyof material by various noms deplume, whose merit Girodiasswears by and whose names hegleefully claims credit for (Akbar Del Piombo, Beauregard de Far-niente?). To top everything off, thebook is interspersed with a widevariety of to-the-point illustrationsby Norman Rubington, all ofwhich “fit” the material next towhich they run and only a coupleof which are too graphic to bear.All of the material in the Readerrepresents partial reprints ofworks that Girodias first solicitedand first had the courage (andstomach) to print. Time after time,it seems, a hagard man would cometrudging into Olympia’s clandes¬tine, back room office, manuscriptin hand. He was only Henry Miller,literary vagabond, then. But Giro-dias-physiognomist as well as ed¬itor—knew a good one when hesaw him. He’s HENRY MILLERnow. Presumably, Olympia’s heartand soul claims no small part ofthe stardust, even though he mayhimself still be maurice girodias.The Reader, then, is both an at¬tempt to portray Olympia’s evolu¬ tion and history and what amountsto a literary brief in support ofGirodias’ publishing credo (“free¬dom. . . as the means of exploringall the positive aspects of the hu¬man mind, which are all more orless related to, or generated by,sex”). On the first count, it morethan passes. On the second, itraises serious doubts, not onlyabout the oft-debated pornographyand the law question, but alsoabout whether one should beforced to swallow writing that ispassed off as the artist’s strivingfor expression but which is in facteither too improbable, trite, orsimply overdone.Consider:“I thrust and thrust as if I mustdie there, not hearing her firstsharp cry, nor the moanings of de¬light that slid from her jerking lipsafterward.

Lippmcott. $4.951 Sooner or later someone is going:to compare One of the FoundersJvith Kingsley Amis’ Lucky JimBo I might as well get my word innow.It is true that these two literate,perceptive and deadly witty Brit¬ish writers sound a great dealalike, deal with subjects not dis¬similar, and approach the presen¬tation of their material in a com¬parable fashion. Besides, English¬men being witty often seem to fitas comfortably into an anonymousType as (God help us, it must bementioned again) Frenchmenmaking movies about love. But tolook no further is to deprive bothauthors of their due as truly dis¬tinctive and original writers; andthe blow would fall most harshlyon Newby, for of the two, his ap¬pears to be the more substantialtalent.One of the Founders is the storyof Ian Hedges’ attempts to regainhis equilibrium after his wife hasdivorced him. In the process hefinds unlooked for insights intohimself and the reader finds awonderful tragicomic world inwhich to lose himself. The follow¬ing passage, which actually doestouch on most of the key events ofthe book, is the sort of thing thathas made people think they are reading Kingsley Amis under apseudonym:“As a friend,” said Amos. . .“Imust tell you extraordinary ru¬mours are flying round the townabout you.”“What rumours?” said Hedges.“To start with, there’s the oneabout you having some sort of dis¬graceful affair with one of theteachers and her father giving youa warning by slashing the tires ofyour car and saying next time itwould be your throat.”“I can confirm every word of that.What else?”“The university promotion is seenas sheer self-aggrandizement.”“All that,” said Hedges . . . “onlygoes to show it isn’t too late.Where there is gossip there is areal community. It shows Perstoweis still a real town. There’s no gos¬sip in suburbia. It persuades meI’m cut out to play a real role inthe parish.”It is indeed a mad world. But muchmore.While Jim stumbles endearinglythrough a perverse milieu whichdrives him to one devastatinglyfunny and yet genuine disasterafter another, one is meant to feel(and obliges by feeling) that itisn’t all the poor chap’s fault.What an awful lot of block-headed,false-valued, dull people are en¬trenched in power in his (translate“the”)world. Solution: learn whento break out and assert your actualself, however muddled, and findyour niche someplace where a goodmind and warm heart are enoughto earn it for you. There is some coming to gripswith self involved, but basicallyyou’re you and the problem is tosurvive that way. Hence the justi¬fication for raising the AngryYoung Man banner over KingsleyAmis. Appropriately, the humor inLucky Jim has a sardonic edge,and is often negative in tone.Newby’s attitude is different.The core of his story is Hedges’coming to grips with the meaningof his own actions, and his break¬ing out of the “anybody-can-kick-my-behind feeling” that made himso vulnerable after his divorce.This is a man in trouble with him¬self, a man whose story is seriousto the core even at its most ridicu¬lous moments.His story too is told with the au¬thor firmly entrenched on his sideof the battle lines. But we respectNewby for his partisanship morethan we did Amis, for Ian Hedgesis a more substantial and carefullydrawn character than Jim was. Heis a more thoughtful and insightfulman (and not a bit less engaging),and his problems are more matureones. In his heart of heartsHedges’ knows from the start thathis real problems lie within him.When he is funny—and he is, toomany times for counting—the hu¬mour arises from simple humanfallibility, and its edge cuts lessbrutally than Amis’. This is a veryimportant distinction, as Henri Bergson would testify, and symp¬tomatic of the more mature consid¬erations on Newby’s mind.The writing itself is flawless,^Newby is a literate and perceptivestylist, and the words flow with ajoyous ease which can only be theproduct of fond and careful crafts¬manship. His presentation of thestory is also strikingly effective;. ,for although he takes the thirdperson point of view, he limits hisknowledge strictly to the wayHedges sees things. Thus from thefirst words, we see throughHedges’ eyes only, and are led.,down the garden path with ourhand on his .shoulder, stumblingwhen he stumbles, seeing when hesees. A subtle and complicatedachievement for Newby, beautiful¬ly handled. The combination of this^ ^fact with Hedges’ engaging char-1acter and the author’s clear part¬isanship make this a book in which jany reader who doesn’t take sides jand care about the outcome is a jcold creature indeed.It is impossible, having read th:sbook, not to write about it in ahappy tore. But be assured thatalthough this book has fun in it,and joy, it is above all a sensitivestudy of a very confused huniaii :being in a time of personal crisis, aserious study done with insightand genuine artistry.Susan Yaeger(Continued from page three)no longer anything but this enor¬mous power driving out of memindlessly into the moist parts ofher. I felt her open, as it were, andsubside suddenly under me in aspasm of small cries. . . Relent¬lessly I speared and squirmed myway on until she clutched me againand kissed me full on the mouth.Her heady perfume swept throughme as I fought at her.

But some of theimagery brings the reader up justa bit too short or leaves him just abit too confused, (e.g. “new andfluid beginning”—if he wanted toimpregnate the story’s namesake,Stradella, we are not told of it be¬fore this. Or “motionless slow wa¬ter” just before this we are pre¬sented with “active” image of eyesbeing blown by the wind, resultingin a seeming metaphorical contra¬diction). Perhaps the greatest pityis that, in committing such crimesof carelessness, author JamesSherwood (not a pseudonym, bythe way) fails to make Stradellaattain what should be a staturecomparable to Melina Mercouri’s SEX AND THEIllia in the movie Never on Sunday.She is just a seamy whore, not aGlorious one.In defense of Girodias, though,it must be pointed out that any an¬thology or collection of ramblingsmatterings presents significantproblems of excerpting. Since theexcerpts as presented in the Read¬er average about 15 pages apiece,and the books from which theycome doubtless average about 200,a basic dilemma arises: In makinghis selection, should an editor befaithful to the one work fromwhich he is excerpting or should heexcerpt in such a way that the fin¬ished anthology is balanced in eve¬ry possible way ? Girodias seems tohave opted for the latter alterna¬tive. He has thus produced a workwhich runs the full gamut of sub¬ject matter and style.But he has also produced someglaring distortions of texts, two ofwhich cannot go unmentioned.Both, unfortunately, are in workswhich are very popular in the USat present, which will make thedistortions all the more evident.The first example—and the mostflagrant—is found in Girodias’representation of John Cleland’sFanny Hill. Fanny, one of themore fatale of femmes, heterosexesher way through a good fourteen-fifteenths of Cleland’s paean toher. So what better reason forGirodias to choose for publicationthe one incident in which Fannyhomosexes (with Phoebe Ayres, anolder compatriot, soon after Fan¬ny’s debut into the London socialwhirl) ? True, the incident as dep¬icted does reveal some of Fanny’smore evident and important per¬sonality characteristics, such as herbasic humility and her desire toplease others. But, good lord, Mau¬rice! Your don’t tell us anything SINGLE EDITORabout Fanny’s naivete, her “greatlove,” her security hang-ups, to saynothing of her decided predilectionfor men. Perhaps more significant¬ly, you fail to provide anything re¬sembling a good example of howCleland can write his way into abedroom and past the censors inone charming, curiously pompous,no-bad-words breath.Distortion number two rears itsugly head in the 'excerpt fromFrank Harris’ My Life and Loves,the mastenvork of “the father ofmodern journalism” (and, it mightbe added, the father of sexualbraggadocio). Girodias forcefeedsus a selection from Harris’ fourthvolume (of five) in which the au¬thor is initiated into the mysteriesof Sex, Indian Style. This is fortu¬nate in the sense that the reader isspared Harris’ highly dubious ac¬counts of his younger, gaudier,more potent days. Yet Girodias’selection, in which bizarre sex isthe order of the day (a game ofleapfrog turns into an intercoursescene, for instance), indicatesnothing of Frantic Frank’s basic,two-fold sexual motivation: deflo¬rations and the comparison of oneconquest and her anatomy to oth¬ers.Nor does the selection offer anyinsights into Harris’ merucurialcareer as pundit, reporter, editor,and hobnobber with the top liter¬ary and political figures of his day.The most significant aspect ofHarris’ mammoth work, it has al¬ways seemed to me, in sincere at¬tempts at honesty. This very oftenmakes the text stark or too report-orial, but it is a text which is nev¬ertheless absolutely unique in whatit purports to do: be at once an au-to’ iography and a d'scourse on hu¬man sexual relations. In Girodias’ Vselection, we are presented withonly the vaguest hint of either ofthese. The selection, could just aseasily he a personal letter.So what isn’t tainted or misrep¬resented in the Reader?

Be¬side being totally unlike anythingelse in the collection, in terms cfsubject matter, Story of 0 is writ¬ten in haunting fashion.

Charles Schribner's Sons.$7.50How does one treat a mystic to¬day? And how can we read hisbooks without at least some embar¬rassment, filled as they are with ar¬chaic nonsense: ideas of soul, God,heart, flames, ascents? For the la¬bel of mystic has become quite pe¬jorative and stigmatic; there is analmost unavoidable associationwith the likes of Kahlil Gibran orThomas Merton, who seek escapein effeminate soft dreams of beau¬ty, goodness and salvation. Rutthough Nikos Kazantzakis in Re¬port to Greco uses language simi¬lar to that of these mystics, the es¬sence of his thought destroys theirdottering consolations: he risesabove the traditional mystical con¬cerns of salvation, faith, and evennecessity in the life of man. Andwhile freedom from these concernslies at the base of his thought, thistoo is a goal that carries no conno¬tations of finality. For behind ev¬ery concern of this sort, freedomincluded, Kazantzakis sees thatthey are but masks of God, maskswhich hide chaos, and “a terrify¬ing uninhabited darkness.”Report to Greco is not an auto¬biography. Kazantzakis spent hiswhole life searching for a God‘‘that would not shame his heart,”and the book is a flood of memo¬ries, of moments in this struggle tofind such a God. The Report toGreco is thus a spiritual odyssey, which takes the reader over the en¬tire length of the path that Ka¬zantzakis followed. And this pathleads to “the great abyss”, as hetermed it, a dramatically mysticvision of complete nihilism evolv¬ing from the realization that themask of God exists only in themind, and that behind it is noth¬ing. To reach nihilism through thetenets of Christ, St. Francis, andothers is an awesome spiritualfeat, and it is the more awesome because he did it with a mind thatlacked any modern scientific condi¬tioning at all.Although science does not in¬volve itself with spiritual concerns,many have used it as a path to thephilosophical view that disownsthe traditional religious conceptsof man’s place in the order (or dis¬order) of his environment. Andalthough these views have oftenbeen able to undermine the mostconsoling of mystical defenses, the concepts of Kazantzakis remainuntouched by any such attack byscientific “reality”. For the paththat he forged is in no way a de¬fense of a sacred neurosis, but infact moves parallel to the philo¬sophic path of science: both leadaway from any and all Golgothas.Kazantzakis’ ascent began inCrete, where, as a child in a Turk¬ish-dominated community, he wasimbued with a sense that struggleand suffering were somehow inte¬gral to, indeed almost synonymouswith being alive. His father andhis ancestors were most admirablewhen they carried a sword in thename of freedom, but Kazantzakisseemed able to continue their ex¬ample with only pen and paper forhis weapons. His obligation to hisheritage was “to gain freedomfrom the inner Turk—from igno¬rance, malice and envy, from fearand laziness, from dazzling falseideas; and finally from idols, all ofthem, even the most revered andbeloved.” But all his life he couldnot free himself from tormentingdoubts that his own task was insig¬nificant, that poetry and novelswere only the shadow of his in¬herited duty. Thus, in compensa¬tion he laid as the foundation ofhis ascent his Cretan heritage;whatever forms or turns this pathtook, Crete always remained as aninexhaustable reservoir of spiritualstrength.(Continued on page ten)thof MODERNIZATION: A PAROCHIAL VIEWasP*r.e!e-igcfit-cs The Politics of Modernization, byDavid Apter. University of ChicagoPress. $7.50.Mr. Apter begins his work onThe Politics of Modernization bynoting that “the work of moderni¬zation is the burden of this age.”He then attempts, as a first step insetting forth a coherent theory ofmodernization, to ask those ques¬tions which he feels are relevant tosuch a study. To this end, he exam¬ines in some detail the aspects ofdifferent forms of social organiza¬tion, both in terms of idealized mod¬els and examples, and the impact-of these varying organizationalforms upon certain criteria ofmodernization, e.g. the formationof modernizing elite groups, politi¬cal parties, and governmentalforms. Finally he turns to the roleof ideology in the process of mod¬ernization, and arrives at certainconclusions about “mobilization”vs. “reconciliation” systems interms of relative coercion, unity,and stability.It would be very difficult to con¬sider in great detail here the va¬rious facets of Mr. Apter’s modelsand categorization. Suffice it tosay that the models do appear to beapplicable to some limited extent,and that the categorization of exist¬ent political systems is valid, atleast at a superficial level. Also letus admit that distinctions on thebasis of the coercive power of va¬rious political forms, and an analy¬sis of the relative efficacy of mobili¬zation and reconciliation towardsmodernization, are relevant to adiscussion of modernization and do indeed lead to some interestingconclusions (the discussion ofwhich I will defer for now). But inspite of the fact that Apter followshis chosen path of analysis, andcomes to certain conclusions by it,why is it that the work as a wholeis not only dissatisfying, but even,when considered as an academicwork, somewhat disturbing ?The answer to this question, Ifeel, lies in the fact that Mr. Apterchooses to neglect vast areas ofmaterial which are highly relevantto his topic. It may be somewhatpresumptuous of me to criticize apolitical scientist because he doesnot utilize tools developed by econo¬mists, but to me it is unimagina¬ble to have a complete discussionof modernization without ref¬erence to those economic variableswhich are supposed to be affectedby programs of modernization.There is a highly developed litera¬ture on the subject of investmentdecisions in underdeveloped coun¬tries, for example, but Mr. Apterchooses to dismiss the intricaciesof this particular problem with thesimple statement that: “the mobil¬ization system must find the opti¬mal balance between the achieve¬ment of forward-looking goals andthe allocation of real income be¬tween coercion and investment.”Again, there is a literature onplanning in transitional (i.e. be¬tween traditional and modern)economies. The political aspects ofplanning activity would certainlybe examined in an integrated con¬sideration of “modernization.” Un¬fortunately, Mr. Apter also neg¬ lects this problem completely, andwe must turn to an economist, Tin¬bergen, for an analysis cf a prob¬lem which should be within therealm of the political scientist.Indeed, I am disturbed by thiswork because of the manner inwhich the author eliminates anyreal consideration of economic de¬velopment. He notes that he has“suggested that it is important toconsider the political rather thanthe economic variable as independ¬ent in modernizing societies be¬cause the ensemble of moderniza¬tion roles is not integrated by a dy¬namic subsystem based on rationalallocation . . .” This statement is asummation of an attitude of aca¬demic parochialism and naivete,made in the manner which is usualamong those who do not wish toapply economic analysis to a partic¬ular problem. (As an aside, let memerely note that the burden ofproof of economic non-rationalityis upon Mr. Apter, and that thereare several works which demon¬strate empirically economic ration¬ality in traditional societies.)This, then, is the great lack inthis particular work: that the re¬sults of the analysis of a politicalscientist are in no way integratedwith the framework of economictheory. Those aspects of the workwhich deal with problems whichare almost exclusively political innature, such as the chapter entitled“The Political Party as a Modern¬izing Instrument,” are lucid andpenetrating. But those which tryto consider problems which areboth political and economic are un¬ successful. Even the “Characteris¬tics of Modernization” are definedin a tortured manner, when com¬pared with, for example the defini¬tions of traditionalism offered byT. W. Schultz in TransformingTraditional Agriculture. And it isclear that a phenomenon whichcannot even be effectively definedcannot be effectively analyzed.Turning now to the conclusionsof the work, we find mainly gener¬alities on the categorizations madeabove. These are interesting buthardly startling. Mr. Apter vali¬dates certain principles which onewould suspect are true, such as therelative coercive “abilities” of mo¬bilization and reconciliation sys¬tems, and the tendency towardsneomercantilism under each. In afinal chapter entitled “The Futureof Democratic Society,” he turnsto the significant questions of thetransformation of pre-democraticpolitical forms. Recognizing thathis analysis is founded upon cer¬tain normative assumptions, theconclusions are worth while in thatthey pertain to real and significantconditions in today’s world. Thequestions which they embody arethe real value of The Politics ofModernization. Unfortunately, thereader must still await the appear¬ance of a coherent and authorita¬tive work which will integrate thepolitical, economic, and sociologicalaspects of modernization withinthe framework of theoretical socialscience. Mr. Apter’s book is a dis¬appointment in that it does noteven begin to answer this need.Robert HavenMr. Haven is a first-year graduatestudent in the department ofeconomics.October 29, 1965 • CHICAGO MAROON • fTEXTS AND CONTEXTSOUROBOROS: A FORGOTTEN MASTERPIECEI have on my desk a book whichhas passed into oblivion, written ina genre which has been all but for¬gotten. The book is The WormOuroboros by E. R. Eddison thegenre, the heroic romance.Once the heroic romance wasrespectable, and Malory’s Morte d’-Arthur , Scott’s Kenilworth , andPyle’s Robin Hood and His MerrieMen occupied a prominent place onour bookshelves. Now Malory isready only by antiquarians, andScott and Pyle accumulate dust onthe children’s shelves of the publiclibraries.Historically, the romance hasgiven place to the novel, as a six¬teenth century gallant might have“given the wall” to a woman. Criti¬cally, the romance is opposed to thenovel in almost every way that itcan be so. Both are prose, both arefiction, but there the resemblanceends. The novel’s main concern ischaracter; the romance’s is action.The novel deals in morality, oftenis very subtle ethical values; theromance’s values are naively blackand wrhite. Most important, the nov¬el is concerned with the probable;the romance with the possible oreven the supernatural.The romance survives into mod¬ern times mainly in the genres ofthe Western and Science Fiction.But even these fields are impure and show’ a mixed lineage. Theleast sensitive reader knows thatOwen Wister’s The Virginian ismore concerned with the ethicsthan the exploits of the hero. TheOx-Eow Incident , by von TilburgClark, is a critique of Western vig¬ilante law. The Outcasts of PokerFlat is a study of the character ofsome boom-town undesirables. Somuch for the most literate exam¬ples of the Western.As for Science Fiction, it is mostappreciated when it approachesthe novel in form. Some “space op¬era” is still being written, but theleading authors of SF, Asimov,Heinlein, Simak, Sturgeon, andBradbury, seem to be writing pro¬jective history, psychology, sociolo¬gy, and political science ratherthan romantic fiction. The place ofscience itself has dwindled in theseworks, and now7 serves only as themeans for actualizing the “Whatif...” that begins any piece of SF.Again, the most respectablescience fiction novels, Brave NewWorld and A Canticle for Leibow-itz, are dominated by social andmoral questions.In the true romance, there is noquestion of values. The heroes arestrong, brave, and magnanimous;the villains are cunning and fierce;the heroines are chaste and beauti¬ful; the villainesses are wily, dark, and fiery. Values are thus imposedfrom without, not sought fromwithin. And there are few men in aromance who can cross from onecamp into another. A curious kindof moral determinism keeps thelines of battle set and fixed.The interesting questions in theromance are those of means, not ofends. Will the quest for the Grailrecapture the unity of the TableRound? Will it be safe for RobinHood to tweak the Sheriff’s noseby winning the archery contest?Will Ulrica’s aid deliver the Nor¬man castle to Ivanhoe and hisfriends? The hero, morally perfect,worries not about the justice of hiscause or the propriety of his ac¬tions, but about their efficacy.The world of romance is simple,yet satisfying. It satisfies the long¬ing for a fantasy-land where goodtriumphs over evil in fact, not onlyby gentleman’s agreement. It satis¬fies the desire for a firm set of val¬ues, in which beauty and truth areone. It satisfies the wrant of theworld where joy and sorrow, loveand hatred, war and peace are ab¬solute and unmixed with their con¬traries.It is surprising, when one con¬siders the world of decay in whichwe live, where war and peace areinseparable, where the line be¬tween love and lust is blurred, where there is no true joy, thatfantasy and heroic romance hav<not regained their former positionin literature.The Worm Ouroboros by EricRucker Eddison was first pub¬lished in 1926, the year after TheGreat Gatsby came out in print,but neither the language nor thestory owes anything to the twen¬tieth century. The style shows theinfluence of Sir Robert Burton andof Sir Thomas Browne— the roll¬ing cadences of prose, the waves ofsound which are the beautiful hall¬mark of the language of pre-Com-monwealth England. The plot re¬calls Homer, Malory, and theNorse sagas.The beginning of the book is un¬fortunate, for instead of plunginginto the midst of the action, Eddi¬son begins with a ficelle, an Eng¬lishman through whose eyes we,are to view the exploits of thebook. Happily, this ploy is droppedby the second chapter, and we nev¬er see the Englishman again. Then,too, the book is supposed to takeplace on the planet Mercury; the.protagonists live in Demonland;the antagonists live in Witchland(and they are called Witches, bothmale and female); the other peo¬ples of the myth are variouslycalled Pixies, Fairies, Goblins and,;Ghouls. Now this is slightly off-(Continued on page ten)TOLKIEN’S TALE OF THE THIRD AGEI first became acquainted withthe Tolkien in trilogy seven yearsago when I espied The Fellow-ship ’of the R:ng upon a li¬brary shelf. Intrigued by its title, Ipicked it up and began to read it. Iwas hooked. I have reread it threetimes since then, and each time Ihave marveled at the intricacy ofstructure and richness of texturewhich lies beneath the simplicity ofits prose.As a Tolkien buff, I was one ofthe select few privileged to be ac¬quainted with this magnificentfantasy epic. The first volume ofthe trilogy had appeared in 1939,but had not achieved its deservedrecognition as a masterw’ork oftwentieth century imaginative lit¬erature except among aficionadosof science fiction and fantasy.The Tolkien trilogy is not, how¬ever, a work which all will enjoy.Some will be intimidated by its sizealone—each of the three volumes isabout four hundred pages long.Some will refuse to bother with it,because it is somehow “unadult” toenjoy fantasy. Tolkien is meant forthose who are young at heart; forthose who have not yet lost a senseof wonder. All others should stayclear, for Tolkien is not for them.Set in Middle-Earth in the daysof the third age; peopled with wiz¬ards, dwarves, elves, ents, trolls,ores, ringwraiths, men, and ofcourse, Hobbits; Lord of theRings is a tale of unsurpassedimagination and adventure—the story of “nine-fingered Frodo andthe Ring of Doom.”Frodo is a Hobbit. Hobbits arelittle people, ranging from two feetto four feet in men’s measure, in¬clined to fat, but nonetheless deftand nimble in their movements.They dress in bright colors, beingnotably fond of yellow and green;but they seldom wear shoes, sincetheir feet have tough, hair-covered,leathery soles. If you’ve never seenone it’s not surprizing, for theywere then and still are, as a rule,shy of the “Big Folk,” as they callus.On one level the trilogy dealswith the adventures of Frodo, buton another level it is about an un¬ending war in which no one, be hewizard, Hobbit, ent, elf, man, ordwarf can have more than a pass¬ing, albeit important role. Tol¬kien’s thesis is simple. In each ageEvil reincarnates itself in a differ¬ent form. The history of each ageis the history of the war betweengood and evil. In the third Age,evil has reincarnated itself in thesingle form of Sauron, Lord ofMordor, Maker of the One Ring,and Master of the Ringwraiths. Inthe three volumes of Lord of theRings, Tolkien sets out in simpleyet elegant prose, interspersedwith epic poetry, the tale of Sau-ron’s undoing, and with it the end¬ing of the Third Age and the be¬ginning of the Fourth—the Age ofMen. Frodo has come into possessionof the One Ring of Power made bySauron, and without which Sau-ron’s power is diminished. He mustdestroy the ring in Mount Orodru-in, volcanic Fire Mountain, locatedin the heart of Mordor. When theRing is destroyed, Sauron’s powerwill be ended, but if the Ringshould come into Sauron’s posses¬sion, no power in Middle Earth canwithstand him.Aiding him in his quest are thir¬teen companions, including the wiz¬ard, Gandalf the Grey, the dwarfGimli, and the elf, Legolas. Hisjourney to the land of Mordor isfraught with perils, for the serv¬ants of the Enemy bar his way,and they are many; and the wayitself is long and arduous.As an adventure story, pure andsimple, it would be difficult to findits equal. Yet Lord of the Rings isnot just an exciting and well-toldadventure. What Tolkien has doneis create a whole world, peopledwith some strange, some terrify¬ing, and some delightful creatures.What is more, his is a world whichbears some troubling resemblancesto the strange, terrifying, and oc¬casionally delightful reality inwhich we live.Although it was written duringthe Second World War, Tolkienhas denied that the War of theRings mirrors any events in thatOther Great War. Nonetheless,Tolkien’s view, as presented in Lord of the Rings, of the**world as the scene of a great moralconflict seems readily consistentwith a civilized and humane per¬son’s reactions to a world gonemad. It seems unlikely to me that'the events of WWII had no effectwhatsoever upon his writing.For those spiritually akin to Tol¬kien, Lord of the Rings willbe a lasting delight. Others, howev¬er, will be unable to comprehendits fascination, and to these goesmy sympathy. They miss out on asuperb imaginative classic.A footnote: The paperbackprinting history of the Tolkien tril¬ogy is a confused one. It appearsthat Ace Publishers were unsuc¬cessful in negotiating with the au¬thor for the printing rights, butthey went ahead and put out a pi¬rated edition, taking advantage ofthe lapse of the American copy¬right (which they did last year inthe case of Edgar Rice Burroughs(creator of Tarzan).Ballantine, which is also the au¬thorized publisher of Burroughs, isnow publishing a kosher edition ofLord of the Rings and ofThe Hobbit, a praequel whichtakes place some 50 years prior tothe trilogy.

He isalmost universally respected, andyet those who most admire hiswork often admit that they don’tfully understand it; Camus’ truthsare always slightly obscured by athin but constant layer of mys¬terious clouds, and one is alwayshoping that a newly - translatedwork will clarify t%; more familiarones. Thus, one cannot help but ap¬proach the Notebooks in the expec¬tation that they will aid in inter¬preting the major works of the1935-1942 period, works whichhave puzzled us for some time.It is true that some entries inthe Notebooks refer to the creationof the “three absurds,” Caligula,The Myth of Sisyphus, and TheStranger, but these entries are nomore than fragments; Camus’Notebooks are largely a writer’sjournals in the most narrow sense,depositories of the ideas, phrases,and plots. Camus, however, indi¬cates at the beginning of the Note¬books that his novels are to be themost coherent expression of hisphilosophy, for “people can thinkonly in images,” and it is thus ap¬parent that if one does not under¬stand the ordered images of the nov¬el, the fragmented images of theNotebooks will provide no solution.The disordered entries of the Note¬books, individual images divorcednot only from the context of Ca-Hapwor+h 16, 1924, by J. D. Salin¬ger. The New Yorker, June 19, 1965Between the lines of this story,but not even in thoroughly invisi¬ble ink, are written the words:Attend, literati and Glass fetishiststhroughout the breathless by wait¬ing world: the tirelessly hoverirgghost of Seymour, apprenticeGuru, is about to take flesh and berevealed to you parenthesis oh un¬worthy world close parenthesis.So one attends (even reformedGlass addicts feel their curiositytickled) albeit not utterly breath¬less. And one can only feel embar¬rassed for Salinger, who has writ¬ten every loving, rhapsodic wordof this interminable and shapelesspiece with the conviction that Sey¬mour is as beloved a Personage toall of us Out Here as he is for Sal¬inger In There. He should havekept us waiting for Godot.This is not even to say that weweren’t all indeed prepared to loveSeymour—many of us were.Neither is it to say that, becausemany of us were disillusionedabout Seymour the person in thisfinal revelation, therefore the sto¬ry is bad. Nothing has irritated memore in the past than critics who,like Alfred Kazin, carp at Salingerbecause his characters are (intheir opinion) obnoxious littlebrats. Hooray, I say, for the authorwho can make an obnoxious littlemour at seven is gifted with all ofbrat come so alive that critics getmad at him. No, my complaint ishardly that we don’t like Seymourso much after ail. It is that Salin- mus’ thoughts and surroundings,but also from the substitute con¬text that Camus provided for themin his plays, essays and novels,cannot then aid in the interpreta¬tion of his works. They can, how¬ever, aid in biography and in thestudy of Camus’ method of writ¬ing. At first glance, in fact, TheNotebooks seems to suited to thestudy of method and developmentthat one is tempted to leave theresponsibility of reading them toCamus’ students. As will be shown,however, such a study not onlyleads to the conclusion that theNotebooks cannot solve the mys¬teries of the other works, but alsoleads to the discovery that thosemysteries, althought insoluble,cannot interfere with our recogni¬tion of Camus’ significance.Certainly, the Notebooks invitea study of the development of theworks that, whether in re or in in¬tellect, occupied Camus’ thoughtsduring the early years of his ca¬reer. Many entries, for example,outline the characters and inci¬dents of the unpublished novel, LaMort Heureuse. Others, with littlemodification, were later includedin The Stranger, and the yet un¬translated essay, Noces and L’En-vers et L’Endroit. Philip Thodyhas done a remarkable job of iden¬tifying and relating the many en¬tries which contain the germs ofwhat eventually were to be theplots and characters, the themesand phrases of Camus’ essays andnovels. And one of the most signi¬ficant contributions of Thody’s an¬notation is the realization that Ca-ger has at last sunk to his neck inthe quicksand he’s been so skillful¬ly skirting ever since the beginningof the Glass saga. He has been socarried away with his own charac¬ter that the structure and languageof the story have fallen into ashambles. Instead of controlledcreation, this is rhapsodizing. Mostcritics have recognized a genuinecraftsmanship at work (if some¬times too preciously) in structur¬ing the action and language of pre¬vious stories. In Hapworth thereis no structure. Hapworth is a 33,-000 word letter from seven-year-old Seymour to the family at home.And if you can imagine it, Sey-the verbose, circumlocuitous, par¬enthesis-clogged, aside-taking, ad¬jective-laden, multi-syllabic ram-blings that characterize Salinger—Buddy in Raise High the Rpofbe-am. Carpenters and Seymour, AnIntroduction. Seymour’s letter istruly one that only a mother couldlove. And since Salinger stakes hisall on our loving it, he loses verybig indeed.The writing itself came as rath¬er a shock in two respects—firstand most stunningly because Sey¬mour sounds at seven just like Sal¬inger—Buddy at mature ages.I find it magnificent how beautifulloose ends find each other in theworld if one only waits with decentpatience, resilience, and quiteblind strength. Les...I know youtoy honorably with disbelief in Godor Providence, or which ever wordyou find less maddening or embar-.rassing, but I give you my word ofhonor, on this sultry, memorable mus was slowly formulating theoutlines of his later works even ashis first were being completed. InApril, 1939, for example, a monthbefore completing The Stranger,Camus was already planning aplay about Don Juan, a play, it isbelieved, which was in progress atthe time of his death more thantwenty years later. This, of course,is an extreme example and involvesmuch speculation. The Notebooksdo, however, contain quite clearreferences to what later becameThe Plague and The Rebel as wellas to the works actually in pro¬gress before 1942.The great problem inherent inthe Notebooks is that of context.Aphorism, plot-outline, and dia¬logues, both real and imaginary,are found side by side, yet eachstands alone, often sharing with itsneighbors only time of birth. Tho¬dy attempts to meet this problemthrough careful footnoting, to re¬turn each entry to its proper liter¬ary context. Thody’s cross-referen¬tial study is thus divisive, a sepa¬rating of the seemingly unrelatedparts of the Notebooks in order toreturn them to their properwholes, the works themselves. Atsuch it is of interest to the few stu¬dents of Camus. The general read¬er, however, is interested in agreater context than Thody canprovide, he is interested in philo¬sophical meanings, not origins. Ashas already been indicated, thecontextless images of the Note¬books cannot explain the novels.This does not mean, however, thatthey should be abandoned and leftto his students. For although theday of my life, that one cannot —even light a casual cigarette unlessthe artistic permission of the uni¬verse is freely given.Secondly, because Salinger’s de¬vices for pointing out in the writingstyle itself that Seymour is afterall only seven (bless his precociouslittle heart) are so coldly methodi¬cal and unimaginative. Like a childhung on a newly discovered word,Seymour uses “quite” and a fewother phrases absolutely to deathand often comically “a personablephysician ... on the train comingup . . . said it is quite fairly pain¬less.”) He sprays commas aroundindiscriminately in a manner sup¬posedly typical of the young-gen¬ius - just - learning - rules - of - sen¬tence-construction. Finally, thereare infrequent labored efforts tomisconstruct a sentence in themidst of Seymour’s fluent prose.One feels throughout that Salingerwrote the whole piece throughflawlessly and then went back andmade these changes to give it thering of authenticity. A sad com¬mentary on one of the past mastersof capturing in print the vivid au¬thenticity of human speech.Aside from the unstructured andinfuriating rambling of the piece,the most unsettling aspect is Sey¬mour’s personality. Heretofore theGlasses were at least 85 percentbelievable, and that the other 15percent was part of what madethem so fascinating to earthboundreaders. The utter ludicrousness ofSeymour’s character and attri- Notebooks cannot clarify Camus*philosophy, in their lack of formthey make strikingly apparent theconsequences of that philosophy,that intense love of life which laybehind it. It is love of experienceand awareness of the world thatultimately unifies Camus’ collectedworks, and it is the peculiar powerof the Notebooks not only to re¬flect the love of experience com¬mon to other works, but also to in¬tensify it beyond the realm of plotand character, releasing expres¬sion from cause. What we are leftwith is an emotion that in its undi¬rected purity is more accessiblethan the philosophy of which it is apart.Camus appeals to us because hedid find that life could be beautifuland simple and yet did seem toknow what it was like. In the midstof the despair of others at the dis¬covery of the absurdity of existencehe found joy in despair, a value oflife, even if life had no values. Andultimately, we sense the truth ofCamus’ joy whether we have fol¬lowed its logic or not. If, as theNotebooks suggest, Camus’ novelsare the expression of a philosophyin images, if a work of art is but afragment of experience, and livingis a “subtle relationship between aman’s experience and his aware¬ness of it,” then it is apparent thatif we cannot fully understand Ca¬mus’ work, it is because we canonly discover life through living; itis because we have not yet experi¬enced enough, we have not been(Continued on page nine)GLASSbutes as they emerge in Hapworthgives one the feeling that he isa sequel to The Tin Drum. Sey¬mour is a goddam freak in a veryunbelievable, unpleasant way; andalthough Salinger suggests (pre¬sumably with his tongue inboth cheeks simultaneously) thatthis is because Seymour was bornan adult thanks to an inheritanceof traits from a previous incarna¬tion, this is hardly a satisfying so¬lution. Moreover, it manages togive the impression that one haswitnessed not a careful expositionof personality but a magic trick;we’ve waited a long time to under¬stand what makes Seymour Sey¬mour, and are unstandably put outto find that he simply sprang forthfull-blown from the womb.Because Salinger insists ontying Seymour to the world as areal person, having given him afamily, history, etc., and yetmanages to make him, in this (onehopes to God) final revelation, to¬tally unreal, Seymour is satisfacto¬ry in neither dimension. Instead ofa resurrection this story is an exe¬cution of a potentially rich and in¬triguing character. Should Saling¬er attempt to deal with Seymouragain, he will have to struggle tosurmount these very words thatpoured forth so lovingly, and it isdoubtful whether he can succeed,except by pretending that Hap¬worth never happened.Lily HunterMiss Hunter is a student in thecommittee on general studies inthe humanities.SO MUCH FOR YOU, SEYMOUROctbore 29, 1965 • CHICAGO MAROON • 7HARRINGTON’S SECULAR SERMONThe Accidental Century, byMichael Harrington. Macmillan.$5.95.The central message of this bookis that the twentieth century hasbeen a century of accidental revo¬lution, that through the consciousefforts of no one, the quality of lifein the Western world has been ut¬terly transformed in the course ofthe past few decades. The catalystin this transformation has been thedevelopment of Western technolo¬gy, and, because of this, the twen¬tieth century upheaval has been ofsuch immense proportions that itdiffers in kind from all the othergreat unplanned human transfor¬mations which preceded it, suchas the Industrial Revolution of theeighteenth and nineteenth centu¬ries.Michael Harrington’s basicpoint, and his basic complaint, isthat technological innovation car¬ried out by private corporations inpursuit of private gain has, in ef¬fect, created a new human envi¬ronment.With this thesis as its startingpoint, The Accidental Century rep¬resents an attempt to define fairlyjcrecisely what it is that the acci¬dental revolution has done to ourenvironment, and in this purpose itlargely succeeds. However, Har¬rington has a second purpose, a po¬lemical one. (As D. W. Brogancharacterized it in The New Repub¬lic, this book is ‘Michael Harring¬ton’s Sermon’.) He is interested intelling us where we should begoing, what we should be doingwith the new environment whichthe accidental revolution has creat¬ed. In this purpose, the book isultimately a failure, but it is a fas¬cinating failure of a rather highorder. It represents much morethan simply a nice try.Central to the accidental revolu¬tion has been the story of contem¬porary capitalism. As Harringtonpoints out:Historically, capitalism appearedas an ethic as well as a system ofproduction. The capitalistic indi¬vidual, with his absolute right toprivate property, served his fellow-men by seeking his own profit. Itwas the free market (according toAdam Smith), an invisible handfixing prices, allocating resourcesto their best use and so on, whichvectored all the antagonistic per¬sonal greeds into a common good.In such a theory, the making ofmoney was a virtue since it pro¬moted individualism, innovation,and the wealth of the entire soci¬ety.This capitalist system as suchdoes not exist today. As Harringtonwrites, the free market, laissez-faire capitalism, perhaps closest toreality in the nineteenth centuryIn Britain and America, has beenoverthrown, and the leaders of thisrevolution have been the capitaliststhemselves and not, as was expect¬ed by certain nineteenth centuryvisionaries, proletarian revolution¬ists. In this process consists whatHarrington calls the ‘decadence’ ofcapitalism, a word which he doesnot use in any moral or pejorativesense, but simply as descriptive ofevents:In the place of the old capital¬ism, there is now a ‘corporate so¬cialism’ or a ‘collective capitalism’.Instead of a multiplicity of produ¬cers confronting one another in the market, there were in 1962 inAmerica 500 corporations with229.1 billion in sales—or more thanhalf the sales and 70 per cent ofthe profit of the economy. TheUnited States, as the most ad¬vanced industrial nation, becamethe most anticapitalist withoutknowing it.Because of this concentration ofeconomic power in the hands of arelatively few companies in eachindustry, which don’t really com¬pete with each other any more,American industry is no longerreally responsive to the laws ofsupply and demand. Instead wehave ‘administered prices’ deter¬mined by companies in order to re¬turn a set rate of profit on pro¬ducts, the demand for which hasbeen created by advertising. Theconsequences of this concentrationof economic power, this ‘capitalistcollectivization’ have been pro¬found; for some examples, centersof population have been created ormoved because of the actions of themanagers of industry; new tasteshave been created by advertising;and in fact, new types of peoplehave been born in the twentieth cen¬tury—the modern housewife, theAmerican teenager, and the organ¬ization man are all in some sensethe product of the new environ¬ment created by modern industry.What Harrington feels is wrongmay be summarized briefly: plan¬ning has been introduced intoAmerican life, but it has been in¬troduced casually and haphazardly,not by democratically elected gov¬ernments working for the generalwelfare, responding to the desiresof well-informed citizens, but byprivate organizations using pri¬vate resources for the accumula¬tion of private wealth, and it hasbeen carried out in such a way,through the development of tech¬niques of automation and cyber¬netics, that, should it continueunopposed and undirected by thepublic will, the potential for socialdislocation and disorder is im¬mense.As the forces behind the acci¬dental revolution, automation and cybernetics are achieving a basicchange in the nature and the direc¬tion of the Western economy,which in turn must cause changesin the quality of Western life. Verysimply, with the systematic appli¬cation of automation and cybernet¬ics, it becomes possible for indus¬try to achieve vast increases in theratio of output to personnel; rela¬tively more work can be done byrelatively f e w e r workers. Suchsystematic application began onlyduring the last decade, and, asHarrington quotes one businessleader, it is still at a primitive level.However, the development of thesetechniques has been swift andthere is every reason to believethat their application to industrywill continue at an ever increasingrate. This must create fundamen¬tal social problems. Workers areforced out of jobs by machines,and must be retrained for newjobs; also, the jobs which are firstautomated out of existence aregenerally those for which the leasttraining is necessary, and thus arethose for which there is the grea¬test labor supply. Looking into amore completely mechanized future,our very conception of work mustchange as human labor becomes in¬creasingly obsolete, except in thedesign and operation of machinesand computers. Vocational train¬ing as it has been known becomesimpossible; workers can no longerbe trained for a lifetime occupa¬tion, but must be able to adaptthemselves as the requirements ofindustry change. A society is in themaking in which human life willhave been transformed by automa¬tion—thus we have an accidentalrevolution.The basic question for Harring¬ton is: in the mechanized worldwhich industry is in the process ofcreating, and in which human la¬bor as it has been known becomesincreasingly irrelevant, what is tobe done with people? And as ur¬gently, if not more so, how can thistransformation, which is impossi¬ble to stop even if we wanted to do so, going to be achieved with aminimum of social dislocation ? Ob¬viously, Harrington feels, the trans¬formation cannot go on as it has—that is, accidentally and hapha¬zardly, directed by the managersof big business—without disastroussocial consequences. He feels firstthat the people must become con¬scious of what is happening to theirenvironment, and must then as¬sume democratic control of theprocess of change. His answer, ashe says himself, is socialism.It is obviously necessary to bequite clear on what Harringtonmeans by socialism, and on whathe does not mean by it. First, hedoes not mean Communism as it ispracticed in the Soviet Union,which he characterizes as a totali¬tarian bureaucratic regime run bythe managers, unresponsive to,even unconscious of, the desires ofthe people who are unable to ex¬press themselves. This is the an¬tithesis of what Harrington wants.By socialism, Harrington meansnothing more or less than completesocial democracy, where decisionswhich affect all the people aremade, not as they are being madenow Jbv the directors of corpora¬tions, but by the vote of the peoplethemselves. And this brings us tothe question of planning.As the course of the accidentalrevolution has demonstrated, theday has long since passed when ourchoice was between planning ornot planning. As Harringtonwrites, Americans have been en¬gaged in the wrong debate. Thechoice today is not between plan¬ning or no planning, but betweenplanning by the people throughtheir government and planning bythe corporations. The actions ofprivate capital have become in¬creasingly public in their effects,and thus the public must assumecontrol of their actions. As the cor¬porations have not been, and arenot, responsive to the genuineneeds of the people whose livesthey dominate, the people must ap¬propriate the planning functionand exercise it through democraticprocesses. Only in this way, asHarrington phrases it, will the ac¬cidental revolution become cons¬cious of itself and will its atten¬dant problems of work, leisure,education, cities, and all the others,be solved. As he puts it, either thepeople will choose the new environ¬ment or it will choose them, as ithas been doing during the courseof this century.The logic of this, as far as itgoes, is inescapable. The only prob¬lem is that it doesn’t go far enough;in fact, when closely analysed, itdoesn’t go anywhere. Precisely inthis lies the failure of the book as awhole.Harrington has demonstratedthe increasingly public effectwhich the actions of private corpo¬rations have, and he has indicatedthat, given the failure of big busi¬ness to attempt the solution of thesocial problems which its actionsare causing, the democratic will ofthe people is going to have to as¬sert itself. Agreed. But Harringtonhas failed to come up with a sub-(Continued on page ten)8 • CHICAGO MAROON • October 29r 196SEFFING UP THE INEFFABLE?Poets- who undertake the writingof prose can secure two benefitsfew the reader: first, they can indi¬cate their personal relation to theirtrade, and second, they can discov¬er to the laity new insights into theprocess which takes place in thepoet’s mind, whose result we exam¬ine, but whose genesis is, withouthis help, at best obscrue. Examplescan be found of four differentkinds of subject matter which poetshave treated to the fulfilment ofthese two ends. There is the philo¬sophical inquiry into the relation ofpoetry to reality of Wallace Ste¬ven’s Necessary Angel, the scholar¬ly exposition of the poet’s relationto his tradition of C. Day Lewis’Clrake Lectures, the poet’s criti¬cism of T.S. Eliot, and the revela¬tory, personal analysis of E. E.Cummings’ Non-Lectures.In each of these examples, takenas serious examinations of the bus¬iness of writing poetry, there is adefinite feeling of solidity: in eachcase the prose is somehow a genu¬ine and simple extension of thepoetry. There has been an easymovemc nt from the verse back¬ward to its bases or as easy a ful¬filment of its universal implica¬tions in explicit prose. As distinct¬ly as I feel this solidity in the proseof these four poets, I feel the lackof it in the essays of TheodoreRoethke that have been gatheredin this volume. I can make certainallowances, as Mr. Mills suggests,becau; e of the occasional nature ofthe pieces (virtually all of themare magazine articles or introduc¬tions), and certain other allow¬ances on account of their brevity.Nonetheless, something is lackingin this took beyond a single, sus¬tained examination of any one sub¬ject.For one, Roethke tries, I believe,to write prose on each of the foursubjects mentiored above. In threeof them he is either over his heador at cross-purposes with himself.In spite of the continual attemptsto broaden the field of his discus¬sions (and the essays representwork done from his sophomoreyear in college to 1963), his onlysuccesses come as revelations ofhow Roethke the poet felt abouthis life and about his poems. Eventhis statement needs qualificationin the light of what I feel is thesecond major “unsatisfactory”quality of these essays.I find Roethke tne essayist sin¬ gularly unable to account for whatRoethke the poet has done. In histwo attempts to describe the poeticprocess from within he sidestepsthe issue entirely. In “Verse Re¬hearsal” he tries to show how apoem progresses from an unfinish¬ed state to its final form. Theprincipal piece of argument is aletter from his friend Rolfe Hum¬phries, which points out a numberof weaknesses in the original poemand suggests some alternatives.Roethke’s final version of thepoem is, by his own admission,nothing like the hypothetical poemHumphries was writing. He canpoint out the differences betweenthe two drafts, but cannot presentany of the intermediate steps. In“On ‘Identity” he describes the ex¬perience of writing a poem, but, asthe experience is a mystical one, hecannot describe the process.Of course, in a certain sense thewriting of poetry is a mystical ex¬perience and by nature ineffable:something happens in the mind ofa poet which transforms a piece ofexperience into a poem. This isunique, we know, because it doesnot happen in everyone’s mind, noreven in the same way or two dif¬ferent poets. And it is basicallyinexplicable because we also knowthat no one has yet been able toteach anyone else to write poetry.But when we “ask” a poet to tell ushow he wrote a poem we are notasking him to describe every turnof his mind, but rather to tell ushow this bit of experience felt “be¬fore and after” (by which wemean “before and after” at a num¬ber of important stages: concep¬tion, first draft, finished product).We are aware that at a certainpoint there is going to be a discon¬tinuity—that one moment (or sev¬eral) in which the poet’s mindtakes that crazy leap which makeshim divine and immortal (hopeful¬ly) and leaves us behind—but if hegives us all the rest we are happyand maybe even think we can im¬agine what happened in that hid¬den moment.Now, I do not think thatRoethke is somehow cheating usout of what we feel we deserve. Wedo not really ask a poet to tell usthe “before and after” 'r if hewrites seriously about being a poethe winds up telling us by indirec¬tion. Roethke, too, is writing seri¬ously, but he just is not giving usthose hints. Perhaps the length and nature of these essays are thecause: given a longer essay devot¬ed entirely to the subject of writ¬ing poetry he night have explainedit. The context this book creates,however, suggests a differentview. And this, after a long detour,brings me back to my statementthat he had failed with three sub¬jects of poet’s prose and succeededat the fourth.Roethke is not a very good crit¬ic: net that he does not have goodtaste in poetry, he just cannot ac¬count for it clearly. He can tellwhen poetry sounds good, but hiscriteria are wholly subjective: hespeaks of song, prosody, greatlines, great emotion, but we musttake his judgments on faith. Noris he a scholar (nor would he claimto be), but he writes about hissense of the poetic tradition. Thisis a strange sense, though, inwhich tradition is grasped only asthe individual poet is able to feel itand incorporate it in his work. Theessays generally avoid philosophyper se, except the one essay “On‘Identity’”, which ends with hisdescription of the mystical exper¬ience and the positing of identityin the recognition of a world of in¬dividual “selfhoods”. And so I saidthat his success is with personalillumination in spite of his at¬tempts to broaden the range of hisinquiry.The qualification I must make atthis point is that he is revelatoryalso in spite of himself. For I findhis direct personal statementsrather tedious. They are eithervery ordinary biographies of hisearly years and the high-points ofhis career, or they are ferocious,emotional outbursts defining hisrelation to the outside world "in atone not unlike that of the HenryMiller who appears in the middlesections of his novels. In the end allthe revelation is found by indirec¬tion and implication, and yet thereis an unescapeable feeling that hehas been presenting parts of him¬self at every step.I am not accusing him of an un-concealable egotism, but rather in¬dicating that the kind of personTheodore Roethke is kept himfrom succeeding in the objectiveessays and from speaking at depthabout himself in the biographicalones.The man who finally appears isa very tough-minded individualistwith a strong and passionate love of poetry. Ralph Mills very rightlyobserves in the introduction to thisbook, that “for him, the making ofa poem by an individual, a student,the honesty, tenacity, labor ofcraftsmanship it demanded, in ad¬dition to the gifts donated by theimagination, comprised a uniqueand worthy human act; whetherthe poem w'hieh resulted from itwas a masterpiece or only a minorsuccess was unimportant in com¬parison with what was attempted.”In the end, however, this feeling ofthe sacredness of the individualpoetic act is paralyzing, for I thinkRoethke took it to mean that it isimpossible and somehow improperto try to explain the writing ofpoetry.I do not want to suggest that Iwish this book had not been writ¬ten, maddening as it sometimes isfrom its unintentional coyness.Any statement by a poet which isilluminating of his poetry is im¬portant (even if the prose Roethkeis very different from the lyricRoethke). I only wish that more ofit had been written.Marc R.

Per¬haps one must “be forced into(the) ... very last bastions,” forcedto face death or misery in order torealize the indifference of the uni¬verse, in order to establish a philo¬sophic basis for a love of life. Sucha basis is not essential to that loveitself, however. As the Mersault ofLa Mort Heureuse observes, onedoes not need to understand “Ein¬stein’s theory of relativity in orderto make love.” Nor does one needto read Camus in order to lie in thesun. Nevertheless, Camus seems tohave mastered the “subtle relation¬ship” of experience and awarenessthat is life far better than we have,and until such time as we feel inflesh and well as mind what itmeans to lie in the sun, he mustcontinue to intrigue us.Paul RochmesMr. Rochmes is a third-year stu¬dent in the College majoring inhumanities.SEX AND THE SINGLE EDITOR(Continued from page four)tional reactions both to the beat¬ings and to the humiliation thatshe experiences as a result of them.The upshot is some extraordinarilysensitive prose, in many placescomparable to the best of such“masters of the unusual” as Beck¬ett and- Burroughs (but withoutbeing as affected). As in all toofew ca«ses in the rest of the Reader,it is indeed a shame that this bookis not available to American au¬diences. It is a genuine literarycontribution, and would gladdenthe heart of the average readerand the serious student, if notnecessarily the Supreme Court.Worth noting in the Reader aswell is the predictable fixation ofauthors of texts set in the East or the Near East on the limitless sex¬ual energies—and the comparativemindlessness—of their male pro¬tagonists. In Kama Houri, for in¬stance, the Pakistanian Yakubseems totally unconcerned withanything except which wife he willchoose to share his bed on any giv¬en night. Similarly, in “Houses ofJoy”, no idication is given that anyof the Chinese men work; theymerely frequent glorified brothelsand ponder such troublesome prob¬lems as how to maintain one’s dig¬nity in the presence of an uncladwoman. Such exaggeration of Asi¬an potency is old hat in rank por¬nography. As Eberhard and Phyl¬lis Kronhausen have pointed out inPornography and the Law, itcharacteristically brings into play the elements of sin (race-mixing)and an overwhelming emphasis onthe physical, or performance, sideof sex. In light of this, one can onlywonder whether the selectionsnoted above are so very differentfrom their under-the-counter half-brothers.One must also wonder the samething about the Reader as a whole.Girodias is not quite as lame apity-me please man as, say, the edi¬tors of Playboy are, but it is nev¬ertheless extremely difficult toshake the image of a boy in man’sclothing pulling off a great big gagon the literary world under thepretense of making a valid chal¬lenge to stodgy censorship. Thebook—and the history of OlympiaPress that it reflects so well, too well— is simply too spotty when itcomes down to that brassest of lite¬rary brass tacks: quality. It is cer¬tainly both desirable and necessaryto provide a proving ground forbudding authors, regardless of thesubjects they choose to consider.But Mr. Girodias can certainly de¬cide whether or not an author isbudding before his work findsits wTay into print. It’s a simplematter of pre-censorship. If Mr.Girodias can’t—or won’t—graspthis, I propose Johnny Mathis ashis successor. Chances are hischances are just as good.Robert F.

Buthis path, paradoxically enough,although one of destruction, wasnot one of immediate annihilation.Rather, from this succession ofbroken theologies, he continuallygrafted fragments of them onto anever-changing effigy of his ownillusive God, and used every experi¬ence, every spiritual confronta¬tion to mold His face. Father,mother, love affairs, friends, philos¬ophers, monks, dreams, all contrib¬uted to this nebulous facade. It isa strange sensation to seeNietzsche and his Uebermensch,St. Francis of Assisi with hisbirds, Lenin with his ideal state,and Buddha and his silence stand¬ing side by side, arm in arm, whileZorba incites them to dance and tobe free. All of these are part of theascent, but it is only Zorba, meta¬morphosed into Kazantzakis’ mod¬ venial sins make them the morehuman and the more admirable inthe reader’s eyes.But just as Milton was on theside of the angels, but could nothelp making the devils and Satanmore interesting, so in The WormOuroboros the Witches are themore fascinating creatures. Thereis Corsus, the old general, whoselust for the bottle and envy of oth¬ers’ promotion proves his undoing.There is Corund, a lord of greatstature and nobility, a magnam-ious fighter on a side not given togeneresity. There is Corinius, theproud and sensuous young general,a man capable of nobility and base¬ness, living only to feed his self-es¬teem and his appetites. And overthem all King Gorice: hard as ironand immortal as the adamant-stone.More remarkable than the char¬acters and the story is the style,which is measured, rhythmical, periodic. I can not describe it halfso well, though, as a few exampleswill:“Like a black eagle surveyingearth from some high mountainthe King passed by in majesty. Bisbyrny was of black chain mail, itscollar, sleeves, and skirt edgedwith plates of dull gold set withhyacinths and black opals. Hishose were black, cross-garteredwith bands of sealskin trimmedwith diamonds.

Kazantzakis’ concept ofman and his duty is that he muststand on no feet but his own, andthat his supreme task is to surpasshimself, never to be content withor rest at whatever heights he hasreached. In the prologue Kazant¬zakis takes from his spiritualgrandfather and mentor, El Greco,this single axiom: “Reach whatyou cannot.” Man’s life is an eter¬nal struggle toward an end whichis not in sight because it does noteven exist. It is the elan vital thatis important: man must constantlypush himself to the limits of hiscomprehension and powers withnever a thought of recompense. Though greatly indebted to bothNietzsche and Bergson for this,Kazantzakis carries their ideaseven farther, transcending eventhis basic component of his con¬struct. For in the midst of thisstruggle to ascend, man must seethe void upon which all this spirit¬ual structure is built, he must seethat the life force as well as theVebermensch “is just anotherparadise, another mirage to de¬ceive poor unfortunate man andenable him to endure life anddeath.” Man cannot stand on theedge of the abyss with an emptymind and heart for more than amoment. But he must see thatwhat he cherishes, desires, praysfor, builds his whole life upon is infact—nothing. And then like Zor¬ba, he must dance on the very edgeof the abyss and rejoice in the faceof a God Who has no face. This isKazantzakis’ manifesto for man.Kazantzakis’ path is a mysticalone, but one that has the strengthto stand apart from its formal qua¬ came by fits the sound of feastingheard above the wash and moan ofthe sullen sleepless sea.”The effect of the prose Is a gor¬geous strangeness, measured inmetre, and yet pagan and lush, astyle eminently well suited to thesaga it tells.

In posing the problem hewas precise, even at times master¬ful. In discussing the solution, hebecomes vague, usually lapsinginto generalizations, as I have in¬dicated, about democracy, and thewill of the people. His own dis¬claimer that it is not yet time to beconcerned with the techniques forthe solution of the problems he hasposed is of no value. For the prob¬lems he has raised, indeed, theWhole spectrum of problems raisedby the process of automation andrelated trends, have been enumer¬ated and discussed before. He haschanged the terminology, andmade it a good deal more dramatic,but in terms of exposition he hastold us nothing new. Preciselywhat is not needed is drama; pre¬cisely what is needed is concentrat¬ed thought on how the problemswhich he feels face us, are to besolved.Harrington has made it abun¬dantly clear that his heart is in theright place; he has failed utterly toapproach the solution of our prob¬ lems within the political and legalcontext of contemporary America.His only substantive solution, onewhich to his credit he offers tenta¬tively, is for the creation of a newpolitical party composed of thoseelements which are most adverselyaffected by the economic and socialprocesses which he discusses: ra¬cial minorities, labor in general,etc. This seems to me remote, atbest. These elements have for de¬cades been associated with theDemocratic party; given the resultof the last Presidential election,these elements seem to be contentas Democrats. Even given thecreation of a third party dedicatedto vastly increasing public controlof the actions of the managers ofprivate property, it would seemthat their available range of actionis severely limited by American le¬gal tradition. Harrington has noteven attempted to face this aspectof the problem, one which seems tome obviously crucial.The Accidental Century is atbest a definitive restatement of thesocial problems caused by thetwentieth century transformation of the Western economy. Beyondthat Harrington has nothing posi¬tive to offer us. As far as it goes itis a job well done. But the job it¬self is here only half done.So far this review has concen¬trated on what seems to be the cen¬tral idea of this book. However,this alone would give a rather in¬accurate idea of its contents andof its value, for Harrington has at¬tempted to relate the generalcourse of Western history in thelast two centuries to its literature,its art, and its philosophy. As withthe book as a whole, he hasachieved some notable successes inthis regard, marred by a few rath¬er complete failures. The most suc¬cessful by far is a chapter dealingwith the emotional and philosophi¬cal career of Thomas Mannthrough world wars, depressionand fascism; for this alone the bookis well worth reading. In addition,Harrington displays a command ofthe totality of Marxian thoughtand its relevance to our environ¬ment which seems to me une¬qualled by any other writer on con¬temporary social and economic problems. On the other hand, hisattempt to analyse the course ofreligious belief during the last twocenturies —in large part throughthe minds of Nietzche and Dostoev¬sky—achieves very little, and alltoo often gives way to statementsof uncompromising banality towhich the adjective sophomoricfails to do justice: for example,“After God died, Man, who was sup¬posed to replace him, grew sick ofhimself. This resulted in a crisis ofbelief and disbelief which made thetwentieth century spiritually emp¬ty.” These trivial interludes are,however, few in number. On thewhole he has a vast number of im¬portant things to say about manyof the leaders of Western thoughtof the nineteenth and twentiethcenturies. Because of his majorfailure discussed above, in this liesthe chief success of The AccidentalCentury.

Its supporters claimthat it is a well written cultural ex¬pose; its detractors deem it a dis¬turbingly unobjective piece of so¬ciological writing.Both parties to the dispute areright, of course, although it wouldappear that Wolfe’s opponentscome out slightly ahead in the ar¬gument—for Kandy (as I shall ab¬breviate the title) is a clear dem¬onstration that one cannot dojournalism and social science inthe same book.In his introduction, Wolfe makesclear his basic assumption aboutthe creation of “style”: money plusform equals culture. Examples inthe history of art are legion:Athenian money plus formequalled the art of ClassicalGreece; Whig money plus formequalled the formal art of Geor¬gian England; Royal money plusform equalled the Palace of Ver¬sailles and the rest of the treasuredobjets d’art of Louise XIV France.In America today, Wolfe goeson, everybody has money, so thatfor the first time in history therecan be a culture built upon whatWolfe calls “prole” taste. The firstof two thirds of Kandy is devotedto the taste-makers and the heroesof this new, “pop” culture.So far, so good. That money(and leisure, although Wolfe doesnot go into this aspect of style¬building) creates patterns of cul¬ture and taste goes back to Veblenand beyond. But where does Wolfetake us from here ? Is the transito¬ry, almost evanescent quality ofparticular tastes discussed? Thequestion of faddishness? The“back to nature” movement whichis implicit in “pop” art? Or eventhe implications for the future ofAmerican culture?Unfortunately, the answer is no.After the introduction, we takeleave of universals forever, andwander about in the fascinating(and somewhat empty) world ofpeople, places and things. Afterthe introduction, Wolfe sloughs offhis Ph.D. in American Studies fora journalistic romp through thestreets with Phil Spector, Murraythe K, Cassius the Clay, and theother leaders and hangers-on of“pop” culture.This is all very interesting, butthere are problems all of whichhinge on the intrusive personalityof the author himself. Wolfe some¬how manages to put in an implied“isn’t that something?” or even an“isn’t that great?” into the essays,which is particularly annoying.His descriptions are so vivid, hisknowledge of the persons andtrends so detailed, that the readerfeels quite qualified (thank you)to make his own judgments ofwhat he has vicariously experi¬enced. In my own case, I foundWolfe’s editorializing rather offen¬sive.It is offensive to me, and to agreat many others as well, not onlybecause Wolfe is frankly approv¬ing of the new kitsch, but more pertinently, because he considers itso significant and important. Onemay sneer at his aesthetic judg¬ments, but his implicit assumptionthat “pop” culture is here, andwhether you like it or not, buddy,it’s here to stay, is subtle and di¬abolically convincing.Whether Wolfe’s assumption istrue is a moot question, and, I feel,an irrelevant one. The lower class¬es have always had a culture oftheir own (since the sixteenth cen¬tury, at least) and the divergencebetween mass culture and high cul¬ture has been increasing since thattime. Bad taste is not, in otherwords, a novel phenomenon.What is novel is that, while atone time the middle classes aspiredto the art forms of the aristocracy,they are now tending more andmore to emulate the traditionallylower class are forms. Further,they are debasing even these. Jazz,a proletarian art of great power,becomes in the hands of the taste¬less the Spectorized rock ‘n’ rollwhich Wolfe approves. The strip¬tease, which is to the ballet as jazzis to classical music, has degener¬ated into the “topless revue.” Box¬ing is in the hands of Cassius Clay,the corrida in those of El Cordobes(the first “camp” bull-fighter),and one can easily see the end of these two sports as they wereknown ten years ago.Now I fail to see any of these de¬velopments as a change of taste inthe “proles”—as Wolfe does. Rath¬er, these are corruptions of popu¬lar arts by a middle class whichunderstands no art at all, and seeksonly sensation, rather than form.And I also fail to see this trendas a danger to the fine arts. If themoneyed families (I refuse to callthem the upper classes) were theonly ones able to support the arts,then there might be danger in thefashion of lowbrowness set by TheGirl of the Year, Baby Jane (Mrs.Leonard) Holzer. But neither theopera nor the symphony orchestraseems to have the slightest diffi¬culty getting full houses, drawnmore and more from the middleincome families. The day is gonewhen The Beggar’s Opera coulddrive Handel from the metropoli¬tan stage, and Wolfe’s glorious rev¬olution in kitsch is in reality onlya minor counter-tendency to a ma¬jor trend raising the popular sup¬port of fine art.If Wolfe’s judgments as to“pop” culture’s worth are laugh¬able, and if his grandiose ideas of itsimportance and novelty are at bestquestionable, then what are we leftwith? What we’ve got, in my opin¬ ion is a number of essays writtenwith vividness, intensity, and en¬thusiasm, on subjects which havebeen scoffed at before, and so havenever before been portrayed insuch a strong, clear light.For all its faults of judgment,Wolfe’s book is actually a remark¬able journalistic achievement — atour de force in putting the readerin contact with people and situa¬tions which he would ordinarilyignore. And unlike Gay Talese,who in The Overreachers treats thesame sorts of people (ChristinaPaolozzi, Josh Logan, Floyd Patter¬son) as Wolfe does, and treatsthem as a tragic joke, Wolf isamazingly sympathetic even to themost driven, evangelizing heroes ofthe new kitsch (read his essay onPhil Spector).Much has been written on (andsome reviews have been writtenin) the style of Kandy, most of itunfavorable. I register my dissent:to give the flavour of the “camp”scene, portraying it, as Wolfe does,in its own terms, requires a flam¬boyant approach; to show it in itsgarishness requires an impression¬ism; to get across its speed re¬quires parenthesis, ellipses, dashesand the other pyrotechnics ofpunctuation. Here is the openinglines of “Girl of the Year”:Bangs manes bouffants beehivesBeatle caps butter faces bruch-onlashes decal eyes puffy sweaters'French thrust bras flailing leatherblue jeans stretch pants stretchjeans honeydew bottoms eclairshanks elf boots ballerinas Knightslippers, hundreds of them, theseflaming little buds, bobbing andscreaming rocketing around insidethe Academy of Music Theater un¬derneath that vast old moulderingcherub dome there—aren’t they su¬per-marvelous!“Aren’t they super-marvelous!”says Baby Jane, and then: “Hi, Is¬abel! Isabel! You want to sit back-stage—with the Stones!” . . .She is gorgeous in the most outra¬geous way. Her hair rises up fromher head in a huge hairy corona, ahuge tan mane around a narrowface and two eyes opened—swock!—like umbrellas, with all that hairflowing down over a coat made of... Zebra!Now this style is not very flexi¬ble, for it always conveys an atti¬tude of pop-eyed gawking on Par¬nassus, of continual breathless ex¬citement. It is equally true that thestyle is admirably suited to its end—and this must be the criterion ofjudgment.I have talked very little aboutthe last third of the book, which isnot about “pop” culture, but ratherabout status seeking and just-plain-living in New York. Theseare among the best pieces in thecollection, not a little becauseWolfe, having less of an axe togrind, has left his harangueing athome. I was especially impressedwith his short piece of reminis¬cence, “A Sunday Kind of Love”which would make an excellentshort story, ironically enough, forWolfe’s despised New YorkerMagazine (“Now, that was love,”says George, “and there has neverbeen anything like it. I don’t knowwhat happens to it. Unless it’sMonday. Monday sort of happensto it in New York.”)Irving WashingtonMr. Washington is a first-yeargraduate student in the depart- iment of English.October 29, 1965 • CHICAGO MAROON • 11THROUGH THE “LOOKING GLASS”The Game of X, by Robert Sheck-ley. Delacort Press. $3.95.The Looking Glass War, by JohnLeCarre. Coward-McCann. $4.95.Once upon a time, we used totake suspense novels at least halfseriously. Perhaps it was only be¬cause we were all so young, butnone of my friends criticized theimplausibility or lack of sophistica¬tion of the Hardy Boys or even, la¬ter on, of Eric Ambler.Times have changed: we arenow older and harder to please.None the less, there has been a re¬cent rebirth of interest in suspenseliterature (specifically spy novels)precisely among those of us who domake such criticism. This newwave (which has either caused orbeen caused by a sudden outpour¬ing of spy novels more or less di¬rected at “intellectual” audiences)has, perhaps reluctantly, orbitedvaguely around the figure ofJames Bond.Fleming claims the attention ofso many intellectuals simply be¬cause no one understands him. Arethe Bond books farces, warningsagainst the potential evils of theS' read of Communism, condemna¬tions of our sickly, indifferent, andamoral response to the challengescf the twentieth century? Or aret' ey merely crude and outrageous¬ly written adventure stories?I leming’s sophistication lies in thefact that no one is sure whether orrio4- he is sophisticated.Many of the new-wave authors,however, have not only rejectedt' e old handsome-good-spy-kills-vgly-totalitarian - spy - and - sleeps-with-the-blond (except in the rath¬er puritan high-school-dance-in-the-gym world of Frank and Joe)routine; they have also eliminatedthe Fleming ambiguity, realizing,perhaps, that just as someone canread anything he likes into Bond,so can he read in anything hehates. While Fleming is open torry of several conflicting interpre-t tions, most of the later leaders oft e spy renaissance have chosen tofallow a single path away from theuncool.These two recent additions tot1'e genre give some idea, I think,< ‘ the variety of ways in whichv. 'at is, after all, basically thes me material, can be approached.Toth can be termed, in the broad¬est sense of the word, parodies oftraditional spy literature, and inboth, the authors have found it ex¬pedient to eliminate suspense inorder to make their points. Here,however, their similarity all bute; \s.Robert Sheckley’s The Game ofy \s a straight-forward farce, af a of Bond movie carried to ex-t -ernes (if such a thing can be im-f dned). The story, briefly, isa ;out William Nye, an ordinaryfollow just like us (ex-NYU, un¬employed, wandering around Par¬is) who accidentally finds himselfwound up in the espionage racketunder the name of Agent X, whosebrillant but completely fabricatedreputation he must uphold. Need¬le s to say, following a series ofloosely connected adventure-packed episodes, he slices up theleader of the opposition in an axefight.The novel’s humor comes inm iy guises, none of them, regret-t->’ Iy. handled with particularlyeon ummate skill. The author tries, for instance, to squeeze agood deal of it from the improba¬ble dangers into which the herostumbles and from which, throughhis incompetence, he manages toescape. One weakness with thisdevice is that, despite the bookjacket’s promise of “ways of in¬trigue that 007 never dreamed of,”most of these situations seem morethan a little familiar: the under¬water chase a la Thunderball, theaxe fight which comes right out ofYou Only Live Twice, and a firescene reminiscent of The Spy WhoLoved Me. There is even a scene inwhich Nye (who, of course, has nopiloting experience) finds himselfforced to fly from danger in asmall plane . . .remember Chaplinpulling that stunt in The GreatDictator?Perhaps a skillful writer couldhave seasoned these trite adven¬tures with some new spark ortwist. Sheckley, unfortunately,seems content that a catalogue ofcliched situations is bound tothrow his reader into a fit of hys¬terics ; in fact, all that happens(especially when compared to thevirtuosity of Chaplin or evenFleming) is that they becomedreadfully tiresome.Another of Sheckley’s favoritetechniques is to satirize the trashywriting style which characterizestraditional espionage novels. Heretoo we find an extrodinary degreeof staleness. Good satire is neverpurely negative: that is, you can’tsatirize bad prose merely by pro¬ducing something even worse; youhave to add .something too.Give him credit for potential:every once in a while he comes upwith a dazzling clever passage:“The driver stopped asking ques¬tions and concentrated on racing atrolley across an intersection. Hebeat it, and opened up for astraightaway. A 2CV came up onhis left, and a promising unknownin an Alfa-Romeo took position onhis right. Just behind us, a super¬charged Bentley with triple stacksand lowered suspension was wait¬ing to make its bid. My driverjammed the accelerator to the floorand swerved superbly around fixedobstacles such as old ladies, babycarriages, and pushcarts. I leanedback with ersatz calm....”Even at its best, however, thewriting gets pretty cloying aftertwo or three pages; as for the lessinspired prose (“The driverstamped his foot on the accelera¬tor, and we started moving fastagain.”), it frequently encouragesunflattering comparisons withBenjy in The Sound and the Fury.In addition, the book is sprinkledwith a kind of leaden wit: Sheck¬ley seems unwilling to say any¬thing indirectly, without poundingit out fortissimo. From the open¬ing page (“It was April in Paris;an endless line of Diesel trucksbarreled down the Boulevard St.Michel”) we are barraged by sar¬casm so heavy that it hits theground before it reaches the tar¬get. Add to this an infinite succes¬sion of in-jokes which are neitherin nor funny (why does he intro¬duce a passing reference to astranger with a .32 calibre Berettawith a skeleton grip and depressedsights in a plain chamois holster,who has been reassigned to Jamai¬ca and who plays Baccaret and chemin-de-fer; merely to prove tous that he is well read?) Add also abit of superficial “intellectualiz-ing” about the nature of the world(the book ends on the query,“Why, after all, did I have to livewith reality? Wasn’t illusion a per¬fectly suitable condition?”), andthe novel becomes almost embar¬rassing. I get the uneasy feelingthat Sheckley rushed through thisone; for there are momentarytouches which show horn capable offar better than this.Le Carre’s The Looking GlassWar is a far more substantial pieceof work. While The Game of X isconcerned primarily with com¬menting on spy novels as litera¬ture, Le Carre deals with people—the people who are actually in¬volved in the espionage profession.And while Sheckley exaggeratesthe absurdity of certain literarytraditions for comic effect, LeCarre points to the tragedy inher¬ent in the absurdity of human ac¬tions.The center of the novel is one ofthe numerous British intelligencedepartments (who can keep themall straight?) which has fallen intodisrepair. It is operated almost en¬tirely by elderly people who wereactive during the Second WorldWar and who are desperatelytrying to maintain an image ofcontinuing importance. In a vainattempt to make a big splash, theyplan a major operation, one whichwe (and the whole rest of the Brit¬ish intelligence) know to be des¬tined to fail, one which is badly or¬ganized, poorly equipped, andbased on clearly unreliable evi¬dence. Honestly believing them¬selves on a mission of earth-shat¬tering significance, they call upona retired agent, Leiser, who hadworked for them twenty yearsearlier (they have no one else) anddeceive him into thinking that theyhave maintained a large and effi¬cient organization. After retrain¬ing him inadequately (for only twoweeks), they send him into EastGermany with a twenty-year oldfifty-pound radio transmitter (butwithout a gun).The novel, far from duplicatingLe Carre’s earlier hit The Spy WhoCame In From The Cold, actuallyprovides an intriguing complementto it. Both books, on one level, areconcerned with people searchingfor some kind of “faith,” somethingaround which they can build mean¬ingful, or at least stable, lives;they are going, however, in oppo¬site directions.Leamas, the hero of the earlierbook, is trying to escape from thehopelessly complex world of es¬pionage in which he works, withthe naively romantic goal of set¬tling down to a “simple” life: “Heknew then what it was that Lizhad given him; the thing that hewould have to go back and find ifhe ever got home to England: itwas the caring about little things—the faith in ordinary life; thatsimplicity that made you break upa bit of bread into a paper bag,walk down to the beach, and throwit to the gulls.”The heroes of The Looking GlassWar, on the contrary, are search¬ing for an antidote to this prosaiclife: an escape from their wives,from hunger and poverty, from ad¬vancing age. When Leclerc, the de¬ partment head, finds himself in aslum area, he is suddenly ashamed.“This was not the society they pro¬tected, these slums with their Ba¬bel’s Tower: they had no place inLeclerc’s scheme of things.” As Av¬ery, the youngest member of thestaff (and hence the least con¬vinced by its facade) realizes, thedepartment “provided shelter fromthe complexities of modern life.”“This is the life we lead. . . ; thesame airport with differentnames; the same hurried, guiltymeetings; we live outside the wallsof the town. . . .” And Haldane,one of his superiors, admits,“We’re not used to people any¬more. Handling them, I mean. . . .I’m a Research man. I work withfiles.”As the title implies, deception isat the core of this novel. The Look¬ing Glass, however, refers to some¬thing quite different from thedeception of Leiser, somethingquite different from the worldof mirrors in w h i c h Leamasworld of mirrors in which Leamaslives and dies. In Leamas’ world,truth suddenly dissolves into false¬hood, life into death, friends intoenemies: it is completely fluid andunreliable, incomprehensible, un¬dependable, but it is definitelyreal: in fact, that is what is soterrifying about it. The LookingGlass people, however, are not realspies: they have created (or triedto create) what Avery terms a“dream factory”, a world which isstatic, reliable, traditional, andprotected from time. They have de¬luded themselves into believing ina world which is without delusion.Thus, when they act, committingblunder after blunder, their errorsare not in the least comic, as theymight be, say, with Bond or Sheck¬ley. They are pathetic, for each er¬ror is another chip which portendsthe eventual shattering of thewhole Looking Glass and the con¬sequent destruction of their faith.The climax of the book comeswhen the operation fails and theLooking Glass does finally disinte¬grate. The older members of thestaff seem almost not to notice;they are too far from reality, soused to the Looking Glass that theysee it even when it is not there. ForAvery, on the other hand, “loyaltywithout faith” is impossible. Find¬ing himself suddenly exposed,without a faith, he is incapable ofhandling it. We last see him sittingalone and weeping, while no oneseems to notice.It is only Leiser, awaiting immi¬nent capture in East Germany,who can cope with reality when itstrikes him. Alone in a dingy roomwith a girl who has helped him andfor whom he has a certain attach¬ment, he hears the steps of the ap¬proaching police.

In Tuesday's Maroon a letter sis Heaev and Mahaffev asserted elected to it. Bremner said that he * *In Tuesday's Maroon a letterfrom Ken Shelton cited a numberof errors in the election proce-dures in the Student Government(SG) Vietnam referendum. In anattempt to clarify the issues, theMaroon interviewed a number ofrelevant people including BillLakin, chairman of the electionand rules committee (ER), Ber-nie Grofman, premier of SG, Irv¬ing Wladowsky, GNOSIS partyboss, Tom Heagy, chairman ofthe Independent Party, HowardAbrams, chairman of the com¬mittee on recognized student or¬ganizations (CORSO), and GuyMahaffey, member of the SG as¬sembly, formerly a member ofGNOSIS, but now of the Indepen¬dent Party.)Campus politicians are in dis¬agreement on facts as well as is¬sues in last week’s SG Vietnamreferendum. However, a majori¬ty of the people interviewed—La-kin, Grofman, Wladowsky, andAbrams—maintain that the refer¬endum was run fairly.In his letter in the Maroon Shel¬ton brought out the following mainpoints: the appearance of two dif¬ferent versions of the mandate, in¬terpretation of the SG by-laws con¬cerning the presence of observersduring counting, the status of theIndependent Party, Mahaffey’smembership in ER, and the fair¬ness of the counting procedure.Concerning the appearance oftwo different versions of the man¬date, Grofman stated that the ver¬sion which appeared in the Maroonwas one which had not been com¬pletely stylized by the styles com¬mittee. A fully stylized version wassubsequently prepared and submit¬ted to the assembly, However, theincorrect version also appeared atthat meeting, Grofman said. Theballots contained the correct ver¬sion.HEAGY asserted that althoughit appeared that Grofman was cor¬rect about the version that theassembly passed, he said that itwas doubtful that the assemblyrealized that there was more thanone version. When asked if he hadbeen present at the assemblymeeting at which it had been pass¬ed, Heagy replied, “No, but I’vetalked to several members of theassembly who were present andnone of them were clear.” Themembers he had spoken to wereGuy Mahaffey, Ken Shelton, andSteve Livernash.Heagy went on to say that thechange in the two versions wasclearly a substantive one and thathe “cannot understand how any ra¬tional person could deny this.”Grofman maintained that thechange was not a substantive one.According to Grofman, “it madeabsolutely no substantive differ¬ence in how the mandate wouldhave been carried out had it beenpassed.”The next point covered dealt withthe interpretation of a section ofthe SG by-laws. The section inquestion, Article VIII Section G, 4d,states: “Parties and independentcandidates shall be notified whenballots are printed, distributed, orhandled, and they are privileged tosend representatives to observe.”Heagy and Mahaffey maintainedthat the entire section dealt withnot only SG and National StudentAssociation (NSA) elections, butalso referenda. Heagy cited asproof the fact that subsections 1,2,and no. 3 of VIII, G, deal withthose three categories. On this ba¬ sis Heagy and Mahaffey assertedthe right of parties to send obser¬vers to the counting.ON the other hand, Abrams andLakin felt that in the referenduman issue was involved, not partiesor candidates. For this reason,“Parties were not entitled to rep¬resentatives,” said Lakin. Accord¬ing to Abrams, “It’s ridiculous totalk about candidates and partiesin terms of a referendum whichdoesn’t involve candidates and par¬ties. It seems to me that it (articleVIII, section G, 4d) is intended toinsure fairness, and supporters ofboth sides of the question were in¬deed there.”Abrams continued, “Mr. Sheltonwas trying to imply that peoplewith only one view were allowed tocount the ballots. He was lying.”In answer to Shelton, Abrams saidthat among the counters—EllisLevin, David Rosenberg, DavidStameshkin, and Rusti Woods; twowere deifnitely in favor of the re¬solution, one opposed, and “I don’tknow about the other, nor is it anyof my business.”Related to the issue of observerswas the status of the IndependentParty and its right to an observer.According to Wladowsky, “Al¬though it ran people in the SGelections last spring, they did notwin a single seat and never tookany part in SG since then. It wasnot clear if they were still activeor not.”Heagy and Mahaffey assertedthat the Independent Party hadtwo members in the assembly, Ma¬haffey and Shelton. However,neither of them was a member ofthe Independent Party when hewas elected. Wladowsky main¬tained that in open letters to him(see Maroon, Oct. 19) in whichboth Shelton and Mahaffey re¬signed from GNOSIS, “They de¬clared themselves as independent,not members of Heagy’s Indepen¬dent Party”.Mahaffey said that although hewas a member of the IndependentParty at the time of the counting,“in any case, the by-laws do notspecify that the representativemust be a member of the party,but is to be chosen by the party,and Tom (Heagy) chose me.”According to Heagy, Lakin re¬fused to allow Mahaffey into thecounting under any circumstances,but then relented and said thatMahaffey could observe as an ex¬member of ER, but that no rep¬resentative of the IndependentParty would be allowed in. “Aftermuch haggling, two representa¬tives of the Independent Partywere allowed into the room, includ¬ing Mahaffey,” Heagy continued.“After a while, one of our rep¬resentatives was expelled from theroom, for no apparent reason,” hesaid.However, Lakin asserted, “At notime during the evening did I saythat Mahaffey was a member ofER, because to the best of myknowledge he had not been electedto the committee.” Although Lakinhad not been present throughoutall of the SG meeting last springwhen the ER committee was elect¬ed (he had to study for an exam onthe following day), he received alist of the people elected from W.Eugene Groves, last year’s SGpresident. This list included PeterLivingston, Paul Levin, JohnBremner, and Ken Shelton.Prior to the referendum, Lakinattempted to contact his commit¬tee. Levin denied having beenfEST elected to it, Bremner said that hedidn’t think he had been elected,but in any case, he did not want tobe on it, and Livingston was una¬ble to be reached.Shelton said that he had not beenelected to the committee, but hadnominated Mahaffey who waselected. Mahaffey also thought thathe had been elected. However,there was no list available to provethat this was the case.CONCERNING the IndependentParty representatives, Lakin said,“In the interest of easing an al¬ready delicate situation, I asked ifthey would like an observer, speci¬fically, Mahaffey. At this point,Shelton and Heagy, evidently tak¬ing this concession as a sign ofweakness, decided that by yellingloud enough they could get theirway. As far as I’m concerned, theyonly succeeded in making a gener¬al nuisance of themselves.”“They were finally persuadedthat the offer of ONE observer wasequitable and accepted it,” Lakincontinued. “However, they tried toinject a second observer into thecounting room before it waslocked. This was contrary to theagreement, and I asked the secondperson to leave,” he said.Shelton’s letter related conversa¬tions between Mahaffey and Lakinconcerning Mahaffey’s membershipon ER. The letter accuses Lakin ofcontradicting himself.According to Mahaffey, the letterwas accurate and “those state¬ments were made.” However, Lak¬in said, “The remarks attributed tome are not only garbled and out ofcontext, but represent statementsmade regarding if’s and technicali¬ties.”Lakin also pointed out that thereferendum and subsequent count¬ing was held under very difficultcircumstances, “because of the un¬expected record turnout and theshort time the committee had toprepare things, as well as lack ofpersonel.” Also, the counting wasdifficult because of Daly’s re¬quest.”ABRAMS explained that thecounting couldn’t have been start¬ed until late in the evening becauseCharles Daly, UC vice-presidentfor public affairs, had requestedthat it be delayed so that two newsstories from the University, thefund raising drive and the resultsof the referendum, would not becompeting with each other forspace in the news.Abrams also said, “I resent Mr.Shelton’s attacks on Bill (Lakin),who was taking his oral and writ¬ten master’s exams on the daysthe referendum was held. I thinkhe did an excellent job.”According to Heagy, “If Mr.Lakin didn’t have time to properlyorganize the voting, he should haveresigned. His refusal to do so wasinexcusable. This, plus his open re¬fusal to obey the by-laws, gives theassembly no alternative to his im¬peachment.”Because he was unable to per¬sonally supervise the running ofthe referendum, Lakin appointedEllis Levin acting chairman of ER.Levin supervised all the prepara¬tions for the referendum, and “dida fine job as far as I’m con¬cerned,” Lakin said.In conclusion, Lakin asserted,“We tried to be fair to both sidesof view, and did our best to seethat everything was done fairlyand honestly. I would like to thankthe poll watchers and all the peo¬ple who worked to make the ref¬erendum possible.” A special program to examine ways of dealing with thejducation of Negro slum children was inaugurated at theUC lab school last summer under the direction of lab schoolprincipal Willard Congreve.Able but underachieving boys fromHyde Park High School were cho¬sen to participate. They weretaught by five specially selectedpublic school teachers and eightUC undergraduates who served asassistants.The curriculum was marked bya high degree of personalizationand a variety of learning exper¬iences in order to convince the stu¬dents that their goals and those ofthe schools are not necessarily dif¬ferent.CONGREVE gave two purposesfor the program. “We are seekingto help the individual kids, but alsoto find out exactly what it was thathelped them,” he said.The program aimed both atmaking a lasting impression on thestudents involved and at findingmethods that could be applied tosimilar students in less specializedsituations.In relation to the goal, of helpingthe individual students, “It is nec¬essary to make the youngsters feellike important human beings.” Asfor finding the principles behindthis help, he said, "We hope toeventually make a substantial con¬tribution to the education of thesekinds of youngsters within the pub¬lic school system.”It is as yet too early to fullyevaluate the results of the pro¬gram, Congreve said. He is nowinvolved in analysing a mountainof reports and evaluations fromteachers and students. First signs,however, appear hopeful.Congreve is now convinced “thatsomething positive can be donewith high school youngsters wholack motivation.” One hopeful indi¬cation was an attendence average of over 96 per cent, although manyof the students had been chronictruants.AS FOR long range require¬ments, Congreve sees a need for aradically revised kind of curricu¬lum for educating slum children.“We want to help develop whollynew procedures,” he said.Another major need is teacherretraining. Congreve characterizedthe present attitude and orientationof teachers as “not at all effec¬tive.”Congreve also pointed out someof the program’s weaknesses. Forone thing, he felt that it was notlong enough to be wholly effective.“Even though it was promising interms of the changes in the stu¬dents, I don’t think that eightweeks i s long enough to makethese changes permanent.”His worry is that the studentswill soon revert back to their oldattitudes when returned to theslum schools.For this reason, Congreve is nowseeking funds to prolong the pro¬gram so as to be able to follow thestudents through the winter and toimprove the program for continua¬tion next summer. He is hopefulthat he will be able to expand theprogram and to extend it for threeyears.Congreve was enthusiastic whenspeaking of the eight UC assist¬ants. He described their role as“fabulous”.Serving In many diverse capaci¬ties ranging from teachers to ad¬visors to just plain friends, they“provided avenues of communica¬tion with the youngsters thatcouldn’t have been opened any oth¬er way,” Congreve stated.Dean Schultz picked to head task forcereview employment service programsGeorge F. Schultz, dean of theUC business school, was appointedhead of a task force to review USEmployment Service programs.The appointment was announcedby Secretary of Labor W. WillardWirtz on October 15.The purpose of the task force,Wirtz said, is ”to review the opera¬tions of the Employment Serviceand to consider what is needed toimprove its operations as the front¬line agency for translating man-Tha deadline for filling outstudent organization recognitionforms has elapsed.

Special at¬tention will be given to the serv¬ices offered to unemployed teen¬agers, older workers, members ofminority groups, people on wel¬fare, handicapped workers, andworkers with obsolete skills.The task force will submit its re¬commendations to the Departmentof Labor by January 15, 1966.Shultz entered the businessschool as a professor of industrialrelations in 1957. He became deanin 1962.He is also director of the Nation¬al Opinion Research Center and amember of the board of directorsof the Hyde Park-Kenwood Com¬munity Organization.UNFAIT ...
