Admission to the Hayeklecture will be $1.00 for the generalpublic and $.50 for UC students.HAYEK, who is presently at theUniversity of Freiberg, Germany,is professor emeritus in the Com¬mittee on Social Thought.

Crime is beingredistributed throughout the city.Crimes that were formerly com¬mitted by the lower class againstthe lower class are now being com¬mitted against the middle class.”Bell said that we can not dealwith this problem by creatingmass hysteria with cries of moraldecay. It is necessary to realizethat the reason that people aremore apprehensive of crime is thatcrime is now more visible.Bell showed how FBI figures oncrime were extremely misleading. He explained that the FBI mustannually emphasize the rapid in¬crease of crime in order to protectits appropriation from Congress.Incidences of murder, rape and ag¬gravated assault have actuallybeen decreasing.Members of the committee onstudent-faculty relations are as fol¬lows: Dr. Robert G.

Most of thecost is underwritten by the 75thAnniversary Committee.”4 • CHICAGO MAROON • October 7, 1&6Study Shows FacultyScholarship Stress(Continued from Page One)own good, he continued.Wick and Booth also agreed thatthe traditional dichotomy betweenpublishing and teaching is false.Booth asked, “Would a good teach¬er be better if he didn’t publish ?”Most good teachers, he continued,do publish, though not all."THE REALLY effective teach¬er," Booth commented, “is onewho gives me the most informationthat’s really sound, not necessarilythe one who excites me most.”Having sound information is corre¬lated in most cases with produc¬tiveness and publishing. Booth re¬marked.Student RoleWhat about the role of students?According to the ACE study,“Since classroom visits are usedvery infrequently—are indeed ta¬boo at 39.5 percent of the institu¬tions, apparently—it follows that,even though the dean, departmentchairman and professional col¬leagues have the final say about aprofessor’s teaching ability, theirevaluations must be based on theopinion of others.”“Thus,” the report continues,“these final judgments must de¬pend on hearsay evidence; infor¬mal student opinions. Of the insti¬tutions polled, only 9.6 percentsaid that informal student opinionswere not used, whereas 47.6 per¬cent said that they did not usesystematic student ratings.”THE ACE researchers remarkedthat, if the ultimate measure of ateacher’s effectiveness is his im¬pact on the student, “it is unfortu¬nate that those sources of informa¬tion most likely to yield informa¬tion about this influence are leastlikely to be used.”“Carefully planned systematicstudent questionnaires,” the re¬searchers continued, “offer an in¬sight on the impact on the learner.Grade distributions can be signifi¬cant in multi-section courses withdepartmental examinations, if theinstructor is made aware of thespecific educational objectives ofthe course and if student perfor¬mance is matched with indices ofability.Booth SkepticalBooth disagreed on the value ofstudent questionnaires. “Most ofthe questionnaires I’ve seen arereally hogwash,” Booth said. Theyask such things as, “Is heprompt?” and “Is he neat?” Thesehave nothing to do with his teach¬ing ability, Booth said. Some alsoask questions about whether theinstructor “knows his subject mat¬ter.” Booth commented, “The stu*dent doesn’t know whether the in¬structor knows his subject mat¬ter.”He continued, however, “what astudent does know is whether theteacher is interesting, whether hestimulates the student to indepen¬dent study, whether he makes himlike to learn.”UC's STUDENT Government lastspring distributed a course ques¬tionnaire. Although the results ofthe survey have not yet been com¬piled, SG president Tom Heagysaid a committee under Cliff Adel-man, a graduate English student,is now at work. A booklet designedto steer students to recommendedelective courses and instructorswill be published sometime thisquarter.The evaluation form covered twopages, and asked students’ re¬sponses to the course content, theinstructor, the exams, reading, andlabs if any. Questions about in¬structors asked, for example,whether the instructor was dogma¬tic in his own opinions, liberal inconsidering other opinions, or easi¬ly swayed by other people.IT ALSO asked about whetherthe instructor added his own com¬ments to the material on the read¬ing list, how often the instructor held the student’s interest, whetherhe was personally interested in hisstudents.No Objectionable Questions“The questionnaire” did not askquestions like whether the instruc¬tor knew his material, or any ofthe other questions Booth disliked.Neither Booth nor Wick, however,remembered the questions on SG’squestionnaire w'ell enough to com¬ment on it.Students were asked to commentonly on a selected list of courses,which included primarily electiveundergraduate courses on the 200-level. The questionnaire project wasunder the auspices of the Academ¬ic Affairs Committee of StudentGovernment. Last spring’s projectwas the second attempt to organizea course evaluation. The first one,begun a year ago in the fall quar¬ter, did not attract enough re¬sponses for any course to make theresults significant.Whether the results of the ques¬tionnaire will be used in decisionson whether to promote a facultymember is an open question.PROMOTIONS ARE made by aleagues in the same department. Invote of the faculty member’s col-most cases, those who hold thesame rank or lower as the candi¬date for promotion do not vote onhim. Thus, only full professors usu¬ally vote on whether an associateprofessor should be promoted.The influence student opinion, asmeasure through a systematicquestionnaire or through informalcontact, would therefore depend onhow many faculty members in adepartment personally take suchopinion into account.Little Student Voice LikelyIf the ACE survey is a good indi¬cation, it is likely that a fairlylarge, select institution like UC willcontinue to place most emphasison a faculty member’s scholarlypursuits, and less on his teaching.The survey found that universitycolleges of arts and sciences ingeneral use informal student opin¬ion only half as frequently as re¬search and publications. jBooth noted the ACE survey’s,finding that junior colleges placeresearch last on the list of criteria.Classroom visits, grade distribu- Jtions, and follow-up of students ofeach instructor are used more fre¬quently at such institutions. Boothcommented that institutions withlittle intellectual activity will natu¬rally place little emphasis on schol¬arly pursuits. A great university,such as UC, must emphasize schol¬arship, however, Booth remarked.Way to Improve TeachingThe question of evaluating ateacher is different from that ofimproving teaching, Booth cau¬tioned.In a new idea for improvingteaching, Kevin Ryan, a new addi¬tion to the faculty in the depart¬ment of education, has proposedthat the performance of eachteacher be videotaped. This wouldallow an instructor to see himselfas his students see him.RYAN, assistant professor ofeducation, used the technique totrain teachers for elementary andsecondary grades at Stanford Uni¬versity. He thinks, however, that itwould be applicable to undergrad¬uate teaching at a university, andhas proposed this to Booth.As he practiced it at Stanford,Ryan taped a training teacher inaction before a regular class forabout three minutes. Afterward,the trainee was given a chance tosee himself on the tape and criti¬cize and revise his own perform¬ance.Most trainees liked the system,and reported that they benefittedfrom it, Ryan said. While Boothdid not commit himself, Ryanthough there was a possibility thatthe technique might be tried nextyear. James JoyceThe BeatlesPablo PicassoDouglas Sirk(Douglas who?)Sirk. Douglas Sirk. Like the others, a great twentieth-century artist. Unlikethe others, virtually unknown. Sirk, you see, makes movies. As do Samuel Fuller,F^eston Sturges, and Don Siegel. All are on Doc Films' series this quarter. All arebox-office losers. But then, so were the Beatles, James Joyce, and Pablo Picasso.For some reason, our audience isn't very adventurous.

Yet when these films were shown at the Museum of Modern Art, theauditorium was packed. See what you missed?Probably not. But we haven't stopped trying. This quarter, for example,we're showing films by Samuel Fuller, Preston Sturges, Don Siegel, and DouglasSirk. But this year we've made things easier for you. We've bought two beautifulnew projectors (with automatic reel changes). We're showing more movies thanever before. We're showing shorts with ten of them.

Ac¬cordingly, editors David L. Aikenand Jeffrey Kuta set out to interviewthe troupe’s writer-tour directorPeter Cohan.Born in New York City, Cohanwas graduated from Cornell Collegeand started work on a master’s de¬gree at San Francisco State Collegebefore quitting school and joiningthe troupe seven months ago. He hasstudied at the Actors Workshop inNew York and has worked as a cow¬boy.After Thursday’s return engage¬ment at Mandel Hall, the troupe willmake its way to New York, whereDick Gregory will present them in aone-night appearance at Town Hall.Maroon: Is there somethingspecific about American Societytoday that you are attempting tocriticize in this show?Cohan: I think it’s obvious . . .the show is terribly anti-middleclass. That’s where the mainpoint of the thrust is. And whatwe’re attacking about the middleclass is something quitespecific. . . it’s not like a house,or a car, or a nice place to live,it’s an attitude. . . and it’s thatgod-damned middle class atti¬tude that says that there’s a cor¬rect way of doing things. Youknow. . . a right way of approach-1ing life. It’s that attitude thatmakes life dull, and boring, andfruitless . . . That attitude isanti-reality and It’s anti-art. Andso, we’re really attacking preten¬sion on both sides of the colorline, middle class negroes, mid¬dle class whites, Theatre iswell. . . no, you ask the questions.Maroon: Why have you chosenthe form of the revival of a min¬strel show?Cohan: The minstrel show is anAmerican form, it’s indigenous,its unique, it offers a wide flexi¬bility, it gives us a posture on theother side of reality, from whichwe have a very good vantagepoint to comment on this side. Italso allows us to hit and run.Like a guerrilla troup, we stay onthat side of the line, we comeover to this side for a quicknighttime thrust, and we jumpback to that side.Maroon: When was the presentshow started?Cohan: The present show wasstarted around two years ago.The troupe was looking for a wayto comment on the American ra¬cial scene, and was looking forsome kind of unique form to do itin, and they came up with theidea of the minstrel show as anindigenous form, and it came outof a script co-authored by R. G.Davis and Saul Landau and thennine months of group improvisa¬tion and work. *Maroon: Would you say some¬thing about the backgrounds ofthe members of the show?Cohan: That’s hard to say, it’sa diversified group, some of themare from the streets, some arefrom middle class homes, upperclass homes, lower class homes,some are educated, some aren’t.It might do more to tell youabout the operating metaphor ofthe group . . . which is guerrillatheatre, which is a kind of aguerrilla band that is supportedby the people. It works againstthe centralized authority . . whichis either despotic or doesn’t rep¬resent the will of the people. Youhave to be light and fast andclean, able to work effectivelyunder all sorts of conditions. Wedo street theatre, set up plays inthe city’s parks, we have outdoor,stages, we use 16th Century Corn-media D’el L’arte forms, masks,old classical plays by Bruno, Ma- j chiavelli, Moliere, updated tocomment on the contemporaryscene. That would be the onecommon denominator in every¬body’s background in other words,that they are interested in theguerrilla motif. We’re a politicaltheatre company, a theatre ofideas, of ideology. That’s why weuse the mimetic form.Maroon: Why not somethingmore on the order of a revue?Cohan: We could have done itas a revue probably, but there’ssomething in the whole nature ofa revue that’s just slick. . . andvery corrupt. . . like “Oh what alovely war.” It’s a very cutethrust at World War I, and every¬body’s dead, and all the mistakescan be forgiven, you know. . .Chancellor so-and-so slipped andwiped out 50,000 men. I’m notwilling to forgive anybody forVietnam. Or for a sixteen yearold boy being shot for stealing anautomobile in San Francisco.How much is a car worth? We’rereally out to tell it like it is, andif you think the show is obsceneand filthy, all you’re saying isthat you don’t like is that themirror is reflecting. . . becausewe’re holding a mirror up, andit’s not going to do any good totry to wipe it off or clean it, youbetter change the picture you’veput in front of it. And that’s whatthe Mime Troupe is—the MimeTroupe’s a mirror which you’renot allowed to look away from.And that attempts as close aspossible to reflect the truth.Maroon: Would you say thatyour arrest in Denver was a re¬sult of people being afraid to lookin the mirror?Cohan: Afraid? That’s part of itsure. Obscenity is always a coverfor content. When they don’t likethe content they cry obscenity.Cause what really is obscene?Words about things are not thesame as the thing itself. Whatabout Vietnam? What about Sen.Fulbright exposing the myths ofthis nation’s arguments and justi¬fications for war for five daysand then voting for that war? Imean what really is obscene—anact of love portrayed on the stage—or an act of murder? It’s morethan that these people <are afraid,they’re really sick, they’re reallydisturbed. There’s more than fearinvolved. It’s like fear that theymight be wrong that is the basisof it, that they’ve staked every¬thing on being right. So maybe itis a very total kind of fear.Maroon: You say that yourshow criticizes middle class so¬ciety. Do you think that you’rereaching this middle-class societythat you’re trying to criticize inthe show?Cohan: That’s the toughest ques¬tion. In other words, when you do a show it’s hard to run outin the audience and find out howmany people’s lives have beenchanged. Yeah, we play the show^n a variety of places and I thinkwe are reaching these audiences.I can’t say that we’re fundamen¬tally changing, that they’re goinghome and burning their Chev¬rolet, and their Brooks Brother’ssuits, but that’s not necessarilywhat I’d want either. But I knowthat some of them are disturbedenough to try and censor the au¬diences, to try and prevent theaudiences from seeing what wehave to say. Some of them walkout, and that’s always a symbolof something like a breakdown ofimagination or a breakdown ofrationalization, when you have towalk out of something. That’s alapse somewhere you know, likewhen was like the last time yougot really offended by something.Can you imagine or rememberreally when you had an emotionalreaction to something so stronglythat it offended you? I mean es¬pecially like at your and my age,when you’re supposed to be open-minded and not that threatened. Ican’t remember being offendedby anything I’ve seen on thestage, unless it was just terriblybad, but nobody’s made a ques¬tion of the Mime Troupe beingbad, of the techniques and the art¬istry being bad, none said that,even the people who’ve torn usapart. It’s a question of the con¬tent getting them. Yeah, I think Ican say they’re being reached.Maroon: Do you find that mostof your audiences are studenttypes?Cohan: I like student au¬diences, I like to play to them be¬cause they’re quick, they’re sharp¬er. As an artist it means youhave to be two steps ahead of theaudience always, or they’ll seetheir way through it. The showhas to have perfect timing. But Ialso like them because they’remore courageous. Now we didjust recently play a show at KnoxCollege where the audience waspredominately freshmen and itwas a drag. Very square andthey didn’t understand what washappening. Academically an ex¬cellent school. I went to GrinnelCollege, which is also an excel¬lent school, academically, butsuffers from the same problem.Oversheltered students—children.For instance, in the show there’sone scene, a scene between ablack stud and a white chick. AtKnox College they didn’t realizethe central point of that scene,which is that the black stud andthe white chick in that scene area pair—without the one you don’thave the other. And that it’s amutual deception that’s takingplace. There is a line in it when the black stud puts down thewhite girl and says “Now, me,I’m all Negro, I got the smell ofa Negro, the hair of a Negro, andall the god-damned passion of Af¬rica and wild animals.” That al¬ways gets a laugh and then hesays: “I haven't got the samehangups, have I?” You know, in avery cocky, overdefensive way.There wasn’t a laugh on that lineout of Knox. Because they be¬lieved him. They really saw thescene as lauding Negro sexuality.And like we were on stage, andwe were freaked, because it waslike being in alien territory. Ingenuine liberal idealogy, in theVietnam scene where the Viet¬namese goes up and identifieshimself with the colored soldier,as like colored brothers, that’s“we just want our own countryback let’s get the white man.”And the Negro in good liberalterms is supposed to throw downhis arms and join the Viet Cong.What happens is the Negro killsthe Viet Cong and so furthers theAmerican way of life. They didn’tlike that at all, they had astrange reaction.Maroon: But are the audiencesmostly students? If you aretrying to attack middle classmorality—Cohan: You and I are as muchproducts of middle class moralityas anyone else. I don’t separatemyself as a completely enlight¬ened individual. We all have ourshare of like middle-class bull¬shit inside of us. Students arejust as prone to it as anyone else.But students I think are morecourageous at looking at it, andrecognizing what of it is justsome kind of a cultural premise,and what of it isn’t. You see itvery clearly in prep schools, ifyou look at the kind of attenu¬ated rarified, stratifications thatoccur in prep schools, you seethat it is a reflection of the out¬side world. The students aremore willing to laugh at that,than their parents are who havemuch more at stake in it.Maroon: Is your main goal toget this laughed at, or is itsomething else?Cohan: No, obviously my mainaim is to change their lives. But Ikind of concede my point asbeing a locus of several forceswithin millions of other forces. Sothat I am one way of gettingthem to change. The MimeTroupe is not enough to overcomethe total weight of American cul¬ture. But we can crack it andwhip away at it, and there areother people working away at itin different areas. Although thatmay sound like a gradualistic ap¬proach to you which I’m firmlyagainst, it’s not. Because withinmy own little bag, I’m workingas hard as I can, with no com¬promises or as few as I mustmake, and so is everyone else. Ireally don’t believe in gradu¬alism.Maroon: Do you think thatthere always will be a middle-class society in the way that weknow it today?Cohan: The way we know it to¬day, I don’t know. But there arelots of people who have no partic¬ular talent, and these peoplehave a right to live ar.d have alovely life, and do whatever theyfeel like. I don’t want my worldvision to become any more pres¬criptive than anybody else. I dothink that there will always be amiddle class perhaps, but themiddle class might not alwayshave this crummy, superiorright-way-of-doing things attitude.So that like what the hell does itmean when you see a long-hairedkid walking down the streets ofyour neighborhood? What the hellcan you logically deduce fromthat? Absolutely nothing, any more than you can deduce some¬thing logically from the color of aman’s skin. But that long-hairedkid, the black man, and all sortsof things start being seen as mu¬tually exclusive to the middle-class man’s sanctuary and senseof safety and his little ideologyand he goes out to try to kill it.The American Indian . . . well alot of these things are reallyrelated to the American attitudeabout property. When you see abeatnik, you know, there are verysimple associations people gothrough relative to property andpossessions, incidents of crime-crimes against property—just awhole bunch of crap that I’d liketo see wiped out.Maroon: Do you think it willbe?Cohan: Yeah, I think it will be.Yea, I think It will be. I think Iwill because it makes life so god¬damned dull. In San Franciscothere are thousands and thous¬ands of kids, who are just drop¬ping out. They don’t have anyparticular talent, or they justdon’t like the society and theysay scrap-it! And so they sit oncorners all day and they sharewhatever few cigarettes theyhave, some of them make flutes,some of them wear feathers andbeads, and they’re just sayinglike “Well, shit, there aren't toomany beautiful human games toplay, and if I can't play a goodone I’m just going to do nothinguntil I find a good one. And thesepeople will undermine it, and I’mglad. Cause at least they’re notkilling anybody. They’re not kill¬ers. They’re not predators.Maroon: Can you tell us any¬thing more about the way youthink the Troupe changes people?Cohan: One of the things aboutthe Troupe is that we do offeralternatives. And we don’t offeranybody alternatives we haven’tlived. In other words any kindof message that come out ofthis show is operational, actional.We had a Negro guy in the showwho was raised all his life in likethe Pacific Northwest or some¬thing. And I think the first timehe ever found out that he was aspade was when he got to college.And he couldn’t stand the show,he cracked up and split, hecouldn’t realize that someone wascalling him “Nigger” to further apoint in a show, and you knowhad no relationship to his ownbeing. And it’s very difficult toget in a show where you start us¬ing like forbidden words, like nig¬ger, and so you use ’em and youwonder well am I really using it,or am I using this freedom as anexcuse to use it. Where do Istand? You have to find outwhere you stand. Sometimes youfind you aren’t standing exactlywhere you’d like to be. Frictionsarise people find out they’re notreally being straight with one an¬other. But we’ve all been throughit. It takes about three or fourmonths of rehearsal in the min¬strel show. Then you’re throughit one way or another. The min¬strel show’s been running threeyears, but there have been con¬stant replacements in the cast.There were three new replace¬ments right before this tour.Maroon: Could you tell us a littlmore about the Mime Troupe’idea of theatre?Cohan: The Mime Troupe as suchis like we’re also a reaction to nat¬uralism. We’re a Mime Troupe asopposed to pantomime. Pantomimeis like Marcel Morceau, whicldeals really with the artful an<skilful creation of reality, wit!your body. Pantomime doesn’t admit props. And consequently it’stheatre that’s almost completel;devoid of ideas. The maximunesthetic distance and contempla(Continued on Page 17)6 • CHICAGO MAROON • October 7, 1966Committees at UC:The Foggy BottomThe University of Chicago has developed a severe case ofCommitteeitis. Early symptoms included the Blum and Ment-* schikoff reports, and with the birth of the Fiske Committee,the Dunham Committee, the Page Committee, the Student LifeCommittee, and the possibility of an all-campus social rules» committee, the disease appears to have entered its terminalstage.The point about these officious sounding student-facultybodies is not that they are pernicious in themselves. There can« be little doubt that the Dunham Report, for example, collects awealth of material on the selective service system, and could,if it is read critically, provide the basis for a somewhat moreintelligent discussion of the issues involved. As fact-findingbodies, student-faculty study group reports can be informa¬tive, enlightening, and even occasionally useful.Kept within these bounds, an occasional student-facultyf* committee formed to examine a particularly complex problemcan play an important educational role. The danger comeswhen these limited groups begin to have pretentious namesand vague mandates—when they begin to masquerade for* what they very clearly are not.For despite all the good things student-faculty committeesmay be, what they are not is vastly more important. It is a sadf truism that student-faculty committees, no matter how officialthey sound, are not synonymous with student participation inthe decision-making process. Nor, alas, do voluminous reportsa democratic university make. For any kind of decision-mak-V ing must involve an element of coersion, and as long asthat element is lacking in student-faculty committees, they, will remain little more than vastly glorified doll houses forstudents who would rather play university than play house.Of course no one would seriously argue that the Univer¬sity hierarchy ignores the student-faculty reports. The re-* ports are undoubtedly studied, and occasionally their recom-> mendations are even enacted, although usually in modifiedform. Indeed, it is the function of a fact-finding group togather information and proposals on the basis of which othersmake decisions. But this process is not decision making, andbecause it is vastly less important than the actual process ofdeciding what to do, its results must remain extremely limited., its resuls must remain extrmely lmited.Thus, occasionally a committee than does an exceptionallygood educational job can have a real effect on policy. TheMentschikoff Committee, for example, issued an unusuallywell-reasoned report on social rules, and the administrationhas since adopted many of its recommendations. But what issignificant is the fact that some of the Committee’s key recom¬mendations were either rejected outright or else completelyignored. It is now clear, for example, that the all-campus socialrules committee with binding power envisioned by Mrs.Mentschikoff and her colleagues will never exist. TheMentschikoff Committee could recommend the establishmentof such a body, but the University had to make the decision—adecision in which students had no part. To say that studentsdid take part in the decision making process for the parts ofthe Mentschikoff Report which were accepted is stretching apoint beyond credibility.Unfortunately, the Mentschikoff Report in many respectsrepresents the high point of the Student-faculty committee fad.A year and a half later, with the formation of committees man¬dated in effect to study other committees, we seem to havereached some kind of a low. It is unlikely that the popular dis¬gust generated by the voluminous reports of the new commit¬tees on committees will bring the University any closer tomeaningful student-participation.What we’re asking for is a situation in which the work ofstudent-faculty committees would take on meaning. Studentparticipation in University decision-making can take on manyforms, one of those forms might be committees that make de¬cisions that stick. A student life committee that recommendsthat facilities for eating and socializing remain open laterthan 4:30 pm has to have the power to implement its own de¬cision. Similarly, a student government has to have the powerto say something about the way students live, the time theyhave to be in at night, for example. Committees at UC func¬tion only to inform administrators about what is necessary toallay student discontents and this information in turn helpsthe administration to maintain itself in more or less its pres¬ent form. David E. GumpertNot-So-Lone Rangers Riding AgainThe Blackstone Rangers, Chica¬go’s most powerful teen gang, arethe center of a growing Woodlawncontroversy.The police, as well as manyWoodlawn residents, feel that gangviolence has gone too far. They ad¬vocate jailing the Ranger leadersand systematically breaking thegang up. They point to the over 100Woodlawn shootings since Januaryand the countless incidents of ex¬tortion that have made the area ajungle of brutality and fear.PERHAPS MOST frightening forthose who hate and fear the gangis the fact that it is growing. Asthe Rangers gain in notoriety, theirnumbers steadily increase. No oneknows exactly how many Rangersthere are, but attendance atRanger meetings indicates a mem¬bership of at least several hun¬dred.The people who defend theRangers, and these include suchgroups as The Woodlawn Organiza¬tion (TWO) and the First Pres¬byterian Church of Woodlawn, con¬tend that the Rangers have oftenbeen blamed for crimes in whichthey had no part. They feel thatthe Rangers contain the futureleadership of Woodlawn and shouldbe given a chance to be responsi¬ble. Being “responsible” for TWOmeans getting the Rangers powerto administer federal anti-povertyprograms.The Rangers, for a time were lit¬ tle known outside of Woodlawn.Lately, however, as the shootingshave increased, publicity for thegang has also increased—almostexponentially. The Rangers havebecome Chicago celebrities.THE RANGERS received per¬haps their biggest publicity boostlast August from Lois Wille of theChicago Daily News. In her fivepart series on the Rangers, MissWille gave the gang the benefit ofthe doubt, and in the process drewa picture of a bunch of clean-cutmisunderstood kids who’d neverhurt anyone without just cause.At least three people who haveworked with the gang complainedthat Miss Wille distorted facts andfailed to accumulate all necessaryinformation while going out of herway to make the Rangers lookgood. Dan Swope, head of theWoodlawn Boys Club and PeterBrown of the Woodlawn UrbanProgress Center, criticized MissWille for failing to get their sideof the story before accusing theTWO organization of “double¬crossing” the Rangers.Sargeant Garland D. Davis ofthe central police department’syouth division feels that besidesdistorting the situation, Miss Williehas helped the Ranger member¬ship drive. “These kids need allthe publicity they can get. This iswhat they are looking for,” hesaid.THE RANGERS have been un¬successfully approached by the Southern Christian LeadershipConference (SCLC), the BlackMuslims, and the militant Deaconsfor Defense, all interested in mo¬bilizing the Rangers for their ownpurposes. The gang has also gottenthrough several times to Police Su¬perintendent O. W. Wilson, themost notable time having beenwhen he arranged a Ranger-Disci¬ple “truce,” appearing with gangleaders at a press conference toannounce it. The truce was subse¬quently broken with a flurry ofshootings that left at least onedead and several others seriouslywounded.“The Rangers have been con¬nected with just about everybodyin the power structure,” says DanSwope of the Boys Club. “Thelonger it draws on, the more so¬phisticated the group gets. Thepower structure has said to them‘We will listen when you makeenough noise.’ ”Which came first, violence or thepublicity buildup, is uncertain, butthat the situation has approachedthe breaking point is recognized bythe Rangers themselves. LastTuesday the “Ranger Nations,”the perhaps 20 smaller groups thattogether make up the BlackstoneRangers, held a press conference.While cameras flashed and televi¬sion cameras grinded away, themain Ranger leader, George Rose,better known as Watusi, read aLetters to the EditorUC RegistrationTO THE EDITOR:I realize that it is considered inbad taste in these hallowed halls tomake invidious comparisons withHarvard: however, after four reg¬istrations at this University andnine at Harvard, I believe that Iam not unqualified to point outthat registrations at the latter(with 3,000 more students than U.of C.) are at worst only half asbarbarically complicated as at theformer. And I honestly doubt thatthe difference can be attributed inwhole or even in part to threehundred years of tradition and fatendowments on the part of Har¬vard; much of it seems due to twopolicies this university would dowell to adopt—there are no classesheld on any of the registrationdays, for new students, returningstudents, graduates or undergrad¬uates; and the student is notcalled upon to make any writtenchoice of courses until two weeksafter registration. To be sure,many of the more compassionateof the Chicago faculty refrain ontheir own initiative from holdingclasses on registration day—butthe individual student can hardlybe expected to be able to predictwhich will do so beforehand, andcan only find out the hard way, bygoing to the appointed meetingplace.A further much-needed changewould be the assurance that all ofthe many offices before whosedoors the student may have toqueue up during the registrationprocess would remain open all day,including the customary “lunchhour.” Perhaps registration oughtto be split alphabetically, with A-Lregistering the first day and M-Zthe second.After four registrations no moretraumatic than most I have justabout decided that the five dollarlate registration fee is a small costto pay for the privilege of register¬ing with reasonable efficiency andnot standing in line all day. It hasoccurred to me that if enough oth¬ er students shared this feeling, wewould have the makings of an ex¬cellent and effective demonstrationof student sentiment about the bar¬barity of the present registrationprocedure—if even a visible minor¬ity chose to register late and paythe five-dollar fee, perhaps innova¬tions might come out of it. Any¬thing would be an improvement.Any takers?MARIAN H.

Your committee recognizesthat there is in relation to theranking issue no simple or singlemoral imperative.An important function of theCommittee was tracking down ru¬mors, the discovery of .variouscourses of action which the Univer¬sity could pursue, and a delinea¬tion of consequences. It was re¬ported to us from the National Se¬lective Service office in Washingtonthat our informant had heard thatat least one university had refusedto report any rank to local boards.We endeavored without success totrack down that statement. Wechecked with the registrars ofmany educational institutions sug¬gested by members of the Commit¬tee and suggested to members ofthe Committee.

The I-Sdeferment allows a student to com¬plete the academic year in pro¬gress, and may be used once inhigh school and once in college.The statute contains no specific re¬ference to the II-S category.2. The Legal Basis of the II-S de¬ferment is:a)b) By the original act of Con¬gress, the President is au¬thorized to issue regulationsfor deferment of persons en¬gaged in “endeavors” pro¬moting the national interest.According to the Selectivemaintenance or the national.Service regulations, localdraft boards may find that study is “necessary to thfinterest”d The director of SelectiveService “may promulgatecriteria, which shall be advi¬sory only, concerning theplacing of registrants inclass II-S” (section 1622.25)d) Regulation 162£. i cc) pro¬vides that “each registrantwill be considered as availa¬ble for military service untilhis eligibility for defermentor exemption from militaryservice i* clearly establishedto the satisfaction of the lo¬cal board. The local boardwill receive and consider allinformation, pertinent to theclassification of a registrant!Presented to it.”e) By the original act of Con¬gress, “no local board . . Ishall be required to postponeor defer any person by realson of his activity in study,research. . . or other endeav¬or found to necessary tothe maintenance of the na¬tional. . . interest solely onthe basis of any test. . ”prepared by or for any;agency of the federal govern-*ment.II. 3. Present guidelinesFrom 1948 until September 1951and again from January 1962 untilMarch 1966 the regulations con-1tained no criteria to guide local;draft boards. During the balance ofthe time since 1948, eleven of theeighteen years, the regulationshave contained basically the cri¬teria which were reinstated onMarch 23, 1966. These criteria,|both rank in class and the alterna¬tive of an examination, were suglgested to the Selective Service Sys¬tem in 1950 and again in 1965 bythe American Council of Education'in order to provide “orderly proce¬dures” for meeting the increased:manpower demands of the Koreansand Viet Nam wars. i|Basically these regulations givethe student, if he is classified as a“full-time” college student, thechoice of sustaining the burden ofproof on him to persuade his localboard that he should be classified!as II-S either by showing that hejranked high enough among males“in his class” or by scoring highenough on the Selective Service*Qualification Test. In addition hemust establish either that he hasbeen admitted to college or that he“has entered upon and is satisfac¬torily pursuing” his course ofstudy. For graduate students andprofessional school students, thestudent seeking a II-S classificationmust establish that he is “satisfac¬torily pursuing a full-time courseof instruction leading to his deljgree” and that in his last full-timeacademic year in an undergrad¬uate program he ranked highenough on the test as an alternahas the choice of scoring highenough on the Test as al alterna¬tive to a high enough rank in hislast undergraduate year. The req¬uisite male ranks under the regu¬lations are upper one-half, uppertwo-thirds, upper three-fourths res¬pectively at the end of the first,second and third academic under¬graduate years and for graduate orprofessional school study the upperone-fourth in his last undergrad¬uate year. The requisite score onthe test is 80 or higher, if the stu- jdent is a graduate student; other¬wise the requisite score is 70, 1which is equivalent to an average;College Board Aptitude Test scoreof 500.n. 4. University Practice — itemsof information furnished Udraft boards.Educational institutions haveprovided three items of informa¬tion to Selective Service on request8 • CHICAGO MAROON • October 7, 1966Local Board Action Found Unpredictable Despite Guidelines(Continued from Page Tight)of the student: (1) A report on ac¬ceptance for admission prior toopening of the academic year; (2)a “beginning of the year” report(late October or early November)indicating that the student has en¬rolled and is satisfactorily pursu¬ing a full-time course of instruc¬tion; (3) a “year end report”showing that the student is pro¬ceeding satisfactorily, entitled tocontinue toward his degree and(since March 1966) a check markin the appropriate category ofmale rank — upper one-fourth, upper one-half, upper two-thirds, up¬per three-fourths and lower one-fourth.In addition to these three routinereports the student is informed bythe form at the time of his requestthat on withdrawal or dismissalfrom the institution or any otherchange of status the Universitywill also send a notice of thischange to his local draft board.II. 5. Practices of Local BoardsFrom the start the SelectiveService System has emphasized inits regulations and published state¬ments two important factors con¬cerning II-S criteria: First, andmost important, that the burden ofproof is on the registrant to showwhy he should not be put into a I-A(that is, draftable) category. Andsecondly, that the regulations con¬cerning rank and the national testand even the student deferment it¬self are merely guides to the localdraft board and do not controltheir decisions.Between the national guidelinesand the decisions of local boardsthere are guidelines issued by thestate directors of Selective Service.The Director for Illinois is advisinglocal boards that a student maysend to his local board either rankor exam score or both, and theboard should classify simply on thebasis of what information it has.By contrast, some boards in Wis¬consin and in Oregon seem to betaking the position that studentsshould make both types of infor¬mation available.At least some state systems arepointing out to their local boardsthat the national guidelines referto rank among males in a class,and that this is not the same asrank in the class as a whole. Somelocal boards may therefore disre¬gard information on class rank inmaking their determinations; oth¬ers may treat class rank as rele¬vant, since determinations aremade on the basis of informationavailable and considered relevantby the local board. A newspaperpress clipping that the studenthas been elected to Phi Beta Kap¬pa in his junior year may be suf¬ficient.Until this year, it was the gener¬al practice for Selective Service tobegin its reclassifications on Octo¬ber 1st. This year Illinois, and per¬haps other states (we know of nonespecifically) are planning to beginto reclassify on August 1st. Atleast some states (Wisconsin) areplanning to continue the traditionalpractice, beginning reclassificationon October 1st.II. 6. Conjectures as to localboard practices.We have no way of determiningthe practices of some 4,000 draftboards and we do not have meansto determine the practices of themore than 250 boards with whomChicago students have classifica¬tions. The most we can do is tocall attention to a few of the possi¬ble reactions of draft boards and tosuggest that the Council might, forpurposes of consideration, assumethat at least one draft board withwhich at least one Chicago studenthas a classification may deviatefrom the guidelines contained inthe regulations. As the later para¬graphs on appeals indicate, thesame assumption might be madeas to the more than 87 appealboards. Some local boards may take rankas the primary criterion, in thatdeterminations are made using italone, other evidence being consid¬ered only in the absence of rank.Such boards would probably con¬clude that deferable status had notbeen clearly established to the sat¬isfaction of the board if rank werenot submitted. To a board usingthe test score as a primary criteri¬on (if there are any), absence of atest score would produce the sameresult even though evidence ofrank were in the record.We have no evidence that aboard will draw a negative infer¬ence simply from the student’s ina¬bility to obtain rank informationfrom his educational institution.Normally we would assume thatlocal draft boards would not put astudent at a disadvantage simplybecause he is unable to obtain cer¬tain information from his institu¬tion.However, there are several com¬plicating factors. If the refusal ofan institution to release rank is in¬terpreted as a protest against theSelective Service System or asnon-cooperation with it, some localboards may act in irritation. Thisis a distinct possibility in view ofthe recent protests on many cam¬puses, particularly our own. A mit¬igating factor is that officials atmost local boards, if they knowanything about these protests, willvery likely have forgotten by thetime they begin reclassifying. Butif the institution’s cover letter saidthat rank was not being released todraft boards, some local officialswould very possibly take offense.The preceding discussion reveals orte difficulty in selective releaseof information. If the institutioncould issue a cover letter sayingthat for educational reasons rank| was unavailable for any purpose, iti is probable that there would be nonegative reaction on the part of lo-j cal draft boards. It has been sev¬eral years since rank has been fur¬nished to Selective Service. HenceI this would not be seen as a changein policy, and the cover letterwould not allow the University’saction to be interpreted as a pro¬test. Here we have been concernedonly with reactions of local draftboards. Other considerations forand against selective availabilityof rank will be mentioned else-| where.II. 7. Appeal procedures, addition¬al information and delay ofinductionA registrant dissatisfied with hisI classification may request the! local board to reconsider and| he may submit letters from deansi and faculty members as to hiscompetence and the like. The num¬ber of letters written by officials ofi the University since 1948, includingthe time when the regulations didnot provide for submission of rank,indicates both this possibility andI its use.If this fails, he may obtain a per-j sonal appearance before the localboard and he may present such jI further information as he believeswill assist the local board in deter¬mining his proper classification.”j The local board is directed to con¬sider the new information which itj has received, including that ob¬tained on the personal appearance;as a result it may reclassify the registrant. The registrant also hasa right of appeal to a State Boardwhich is directed by regulation1626 to consider only (except cer¬tain matters not relevant) informa¬tion which is contained in the re¬cord received from the local board.Regulation 1626 further directs theappeal board to “classify the reg- j istrant, giving consideration to[ various classes in the same man-[ ner in which the local board givesI consideration thereto,” so that theI appeal board makes an indepen¬dent determination uncontrolled by, the prior determination of the local1 board.In certain cases, a student may(Continued on Page Ten)Now PlayingLIMITEDPERFORMANCEAcademy Award WinnerJason Robards inA THOUSANDCLOWNSplusPaul Newman & Julie AndrewsinTORN CURTAINFeature Times: Fri. & Sat.A THOUSAND CLOWNS 4:15, 8:30TORN CURTAIN . . 2:00, 6:15,10:15Sun. - Thurs.A THOUSAND CLOWNS 3:50, 8:00TORN CURTAIN 1:45, 5:30, 10:00JefferyTheatre1952 EAST 71st HY 3-3333 Let a Smile Be YourUmbrella When You Wear anAndes Maincoat®LonoonrooThe Andes gives you all the protection you need.

It might beargued that the differences in rank'position, asi’computed bv severaldifferent methods, are slight. Theproblem is that as rank is now tobe j,reported, the local board willknows only - whether the student isin one of several very large groups— a difference of one place in rankmay determine, whether a studentis in the top half or the bottom halfof his class, and the local- boardwill never know how close it was.It is for this reason that the differ-,eot systematic inequities accom¬panying each method of computingrank present such a problem:y / ' • • ■ ■ " •IV.f Other Consequences ' of Re-leasing Rank to/the?SelectiveService . //' ■■ . -% 1. ; Choice, of courses: Choices of> ’*'4 college to attend.7 At., The ■ Universitv of (.

This was noted particular¬ly by the advisor for pre-medicalstudents, who feels that becausemedical school offers a sure II-Sdeferment, the number of studentswho will apply to medical schoolnext year will be significantly lar¬ger than during the past. She isparticularly concerned that malestudents have become even moreworried than in the past concern¬ing admission to medical schooland that many have chosen easiercourses in order to increase thelikelihood of acceptance. Thesewould be students whose classrank is relatively high and whosedesire to raise their grades is notdirectly influenced by SelectiveService, but rather indirectlythrough increased anxiety aboutadmission to medical school. ,We have not obtained evidenceon the degree to which SelectiveService policy: has affected stu¬dents’ choice of a college to at¬tend. In contrast to choice ofcourses within a,college, it is con¬ceivable that choice of college isinfluenced more by a perceivedimmediacy of the threat of draft(depending on rank) than by con¬siderations of the quality of edu¬cation. This might possibly explainthe increased level of rejectionsreceived by the admissions office,but we have not obtained actualevidence on which to prefer tinsexplanation to others.'IV 2 The moral dilemmas <>l• grading and achieving for'• instructors and students.#»;7 7;7,;v77A?;7,.¥,,, .V72;'7.v'':7'4'.77.;wThe influence of ranking onchances, for deferment is a new effeet, different both in kind and indegree from effects on scholar¬ships and job - opportunities, pin/struct;>; "",1 nd students particularly sensitive to this moral problemwill find it difficult to regardgrades in the same light as before.They cannot fail to be aware of theconsequences outside the educa¬tional system of their “academic”decisions. Whenever the instructorgives a grade, low or high, he af¬fects the chances of several stu¬dents’ being drafted, increasingand decreasing these. Simple re¬fusal to give rankable grades is notan out since a student who wantsto submit rank may then be unableto do so. Whenever the studentachieves high grades he increasesthe chance that someone else willbe drafted. To say that someonewould in any case have been draft¬ed does not remove the dilemmafor these people. And the argumentthat a difference in one grade hasa small effect on rank is not gener¬ally accepted by them. For somestudents it will make no difference,for others it will make all the dif¬ference between being in the tophalf or the bottom half of theirclass, the only kind of indication ofrank to which the II-S guidelinesrefer (of course other informationcan be furnished the local boardsat the request of such a student).The moral dilemma and mentalconflict described above are veryreal consequences of a decision torelease ranks to Selective Service.These consequences exist whetheror not there results any change ingrading practices or in studentachievement patterns. Although wehave no way of guessing what suchchanges might be, they must bementioned as a possibility. 4V. Two Policy Vacuums1. Independence of the University.Because of its role in society, itis imperative that a university re¬ main essentially independent ofpressures from other interests insociety, public or private. Thereare of course numerous occasionswhen cooperation with these other 4interests is an appropriate courseof action, and one cannot deter-.mine in advance which occasionsthese will be. But the Universityshould have a clear conception of tthe relevant criteria, and it is here■ 44that a dangerous policy vacuumexists. The danger is that the Uni¬versity will allow its independence §to be eaten away bit by bit, simplybecause in each particular case itis the path of least resistance, and 4because consequences have not/been clearly foreseen and taken Jinto account. A decision bv theUniversity to calculate and release//rank among males, whether to Se-4flective Service or to an employer//might have the character of aseemingly insignificant decision/;!without long range consequences »or it might make it more difficult #to deny another request. :4V. 2. Release of information.The policy vacuum described inthe preceding paragraph is in oneof its aspects a special case of themore general problem of the re-J|cording and release of information^by the University.

If a student were to requestthis information for whatever per¬sonal use he wishes, the Universityshould in advance of the requesthave policies and criteria to aid indetermining how it will respond. Itis possible for the University tohave a policy which states that foruses outside of the University itwill retrieve from the student’s fileonly designated bits of information.At the other extreme, it is possiblefor the University to have a policythat it will retrieve and furnish thestudent any information which thedata processing equipment, as thenprogrammed, can retrieve. It ispossible also for the University tohave a policy that it will retrieveat the request of a student someinformation which the Universitywould not otherwise collate in ordi¬nary course if the expense of re¬trieval is minimum. This reportdoes not attempt to determinewhat the University’s answershould be to these questions. Rath¬er we call attention to the fact thatwith automatic data processingequipment it is no longer easy fora university to refuse to report in¬formation at the request of a stu¬dent simply on the ground of itsunavailability. Once again, the de¬cision must be based on criteria ofthe greatest benefit to the studentand to the University and on a rec¬ognition of the interaction of theUniversity with other institutions.VI. Uses of Rank InformationOther Than for Selective Serv¬ice1. Types of use:In the past, rank in class has ibeen available to students for vari¬ous purposes, and has also beenused within the University. Rank;.mong males has rarely been re¬quested in the past outside the Uni- I| versity.A. Most medical schools, manylaw schools, and a few othergraduate programs have re¬quested rank.B. Peace Corps has requested jindication of the top 10%,|top 30%, and top 70%. Wedo not have information onthe domestic peace corps.C. The Veterans Administra¬tion and Social Securityhave requested informationwhether students are full¬time and in good standing,but have not requestedrank.D. Phi Beta Kappa and othernational honorary societiesaccept only students whoserank falls within certainlimits.E. Certain scholarships andawards are available partlyor wholly on the basis ofrank.F. Some employers requestrank. A few request rankamong males. VI. 2. Genera] Considerations rel¬ative to the use of rank.The availability of rank presentsa temptation to employers andgraduate schools to take short cutsin their selection procedures, tolook at rank and neglect many oth¬er important, relevant variablesrevealed by a transcript. In viewof the different factors which areimportant in various graduate pro¬grams, and of the virtual zero cor¬relation between grades and even¬tual success outside the academicsystem, mechanical use of rankhas obvious disadvantages (seealso the Appendix 3-2-B on certaininequities in any ranking system).The most important use of rankinformation is as a measure inde¬pendent of the grading practice ofparticular colleges and universi¬ties. The need for such a measureis felt strongly by students at TheUniversity of Chicago, where aver¬age grades are lower than those atcomparable institutions. Whileranking does help in the solution ofthis problem, it is still subject tothe roughly equivalent problemthat within a given university,grading practices may differ frominstructor to instructor and depart¬ment to department, and that somecourses are more difficult thanothers.This raises difficulties even forthfwe employers and educationalinstitutions who are most con¬cerned to avoid mechanical use ofrank in their selection procedures.For a student may rank at the 50thpercentile and have middlinggrades, yet much remains unre¬vealed; he might be at the top inmost of his courses, if a depart¬ment or group of instructors gener¬ally gave low grades, or in the op¬posite case he might be at the bot¬tom in most of his courses. This problem becomes particularly dif¬ficult when the employer or educa¬tional institution wishes to judgeperformance in particular courses.To help employers and educationalinstitutions arrive at a more ade¬quate evaluation of transcripts andavoid mechanical uses of rank, theUniversity might modify its tran¬script to exclude some of the erro¬neous impressions created by grossor general class rank. After con¬sidering the provision of extra in¬formation on transcripts the Uni¬versity might have better informa¬tion on which to decide whetherpart of the information conveyedby rank is superfluous and whetherother students’ grades in courses aparticular student has not takenshould have relevance to that stu¬dent’s rank.Although this Committee agreesthat improving the information ontranscripts in some manner wouldenable employers and educationalinstitutions to better interpretthose transcripts and would elimi¬nate much of the inequity involvedin a simple rank, the Committeehas not tried to answer the ques¬tions just posed, to suggest a par¬ticular way of improving the infor¬KYC IXAMINATIONFASHION EYEWEARCONTACT LENSESDR.

This ef¬fect may be partly a result of de¬sire for continued deferment, par¬ticularly in the case of pre-medicalstudents.(Section IV-1)E. Release of rank to SelectiveService gives rise to a moral di¬lemma and mental anguish formany faculty and students, withpossible consequences here not ex¬plored.(Section IV-2)F. Because of serious policyvacuums, the University must beparticularly careful not to permitthe gradual reduction of its inde¬pendence and freedom of action asa result of repeatedly taking thepath of least resistance.(Section V)G. The question of whetherrank can be dispensed with in itsuses other than for Selective Serv¬ice necessarily involves more gen¬eral considerations of the amountand fund of information on tran¬scripts of academic record, speci¬fically whether the legitimate in¬formation provided by rank can beadequately provided in other waysconsidered preferable. (See thelast part of Section VI-2.)H. There are a number of diffi¬culties in making rank availablefor some purposes but not to Selec¬tive Service: >,i) the question of legality(Section VIII)ii) the possibility that somelocal boards might in¬terpret such action as a pro¬test and react to the disad¬vantage of certain students(Section II, latter part be¬fore appeals)iii) difficulties in “policing”such a policy:a) rank information sentto another address mightbe forwarded to SelectiveServiceb) some students mightbe in a more advanta¬geous position than othersto have a faculty memberor administrator obtaintheir rank and send it toSelective Service in asemi-official manner.I.There may be viable alter¬natives in addition to completeand official availability of rankand complete and official unavail¬ability of rank, which yet avoidthe difficulties mentioned. Onesuggestion (at the end of SectionVII) is that informal and unofficialletters from an office other thanthe registrar, estimating rankamong males, be made availableto those students who will nothave taken the national exam.(This assumes a context in whicha cover letter was available statingthe general University policy thatranks were not computed or avail¬able for any purpose, and thereasons for such a policy.) Amongthe consequences particularly rele¬vant to such a suggestion (as dis¬tinct from any decision not to re¬lease computed rank to draftboards), some of the most im¬portant would be:a) whether local draft boardswould accept such informalletters as relevant to defer¬mentb) the legality of the actionc) the necessity of assuringthe students in question thatsuch letters would be readi¬ly available on request.The Committee did not considerI this type of proposal in any detail.Report to the Counsel of the Uni.R' nate Part 3.Page 17 thru 24I J- A policy decision now couldI he specified as not retroactive.! hen those students who have act-| ed in reliance on previously statedPolicy would be protected.K- And in addition, the follow-miscellaneous factors concern¬ ing grading and caluclating rankmay be important:1). It is possible to calculaterank cumulatively ratherthan annually and it may beagreeable to Selective Service to have rank computedon the basis of previousif this method were desiredas a matter of educationalpolicy.2). Selective service guidelinesdo not contemplate detailedrank or grades. Such rankand grades would be of nohelp to boards operating ina routine way but theymight help a student beforesome boards.3). Some students may be un¬able to transmit the requisiterank information to a localboard even without achange in policy becausethey have too many non-rankable grades (less than 8courses of rankable grades)for the University to certifya male rank. Special hand¬ling of these cases will benecessary by University of¬fices and the student facessome of the risks of rankbeing unavailable (des¬cribed elsewhere in this re¬port).* * * * *The Report was signed by thefollowing Committee members:Allison Dunham, ChairmanLloyd B.

CS-3119; Filed, Mar.23, 1966; 8:47 a.m.)POLICIES AND PRACTICES OFEDUCATIONALINSTITUTIONS CONCERNINGRANKAccording to the Selective Serv¬ice Administration in Washington,the responses of educational insti¬tutions to the newly issued regula¬tion fall into five categories:(1) On the basis of some ear¬lier student initiation of theprocess, such as a requestthat the local draft board beinformed of his acceptancefor admission, the institu¬tion sends automatically therequisite year-end reportconcerning male rank. Ourinformant put the bulk ofthe institutions in this cate¬gory.(2) Some institutions send rankand grades automaticallyunless the student expressly requests that they not besent. In recent weeks manycolleges have been askingstudents to sign a card indi¬cating that they do not wantrank sent; otherwise, signedrank will be sent.(3) Some institutions send rankonly on the written requestof the student that this bedone. Some of these collegesare now sending cards tostudents for them to signand return requesting thatrank be sent.(4) Some institutions give therank to the student who cansend it to the draft board orwho then requests the uni¬versity to certify it and for¬ward it to the draft board.(5) Some institutions do notsend male rank to the localdraft board.Institutions in the fifth categoryfall into three subtypes:a) Some institutions in the or¬dinary course of their op¬eration do not produce arankable grade or otherwisemake it calculable. St.Johns (Maryland) may fallin this category.b) Some institutions do notcalculate male rank butthey calculate class rank in¬cluding females. This maybe because they do not havethe facilities to calculatemale rank (Queens Collegefor years ending beforeJune, 1966) or because thecollege does not calculatemale rank for any purpose(Cornell University Collegeof Arts and Sciences).c) The Selective Service Offi¬cial in Washington said thathe understood that one col¬lege who could producemale rank refused to send itto Selective Service.The Committee could make onlya brief effort to discover whetherthere were any colleges which re¬fused to report rank to the Selec¬tive Service System even thoughthe rank was available or could beeasily calculated on their dataprocessing equipment. In an en¬deavor to discover any such col¬leges, your chairman called theregistrars of colleges whosenames were suggested to the chair¬man by various members of theCommittee including the studentrepresentatives. From the listcalled, no college has been dis¬covered which refuses to reportmale rank to Selective Serv¬ice if it is available in the universi¬ty records. Oberlin College, ReedCollege, State University of Iowa(Iowa City), Iowa State Universityof Science and Technology (Ames),the Circle Campus of the Universi¬ty of Illinois, City University ofNew York, Princeton, Dartmouth,San Francisco State College,Queens College (Long Island, NewYork), Colby College (Maine) andCornell University were called. Allexcept Cornell reported formallythat it was the policy of the Uni¬versity to send Selective Servicethe male rank of the student on therequest of the student, although theUniversities did vary as to themethod of determining whether therequest of the student existed ornot. Special attention should bepaid to Cornell, Colby, City Univer¬sity of New York and San Francis¬co State. City University of NewYork has the policy enunciatedabove but the registrar reportedthat members of the faculty wereseeking a referendum of both fac¬ulty and students that rank shouldnot be sent. Since the referendumwould not be held until some timein the fall, the registrar stated thatrank would continue to be sentover the summer at the request ofthe student.At Colby College there is a facul¬ty resolution expressing the senseof the faculty that Selective Serv¬ice shuld not use rank but the reg¬istrar reported that the centraladministration responsible forkeeping and releasing rec¬ords had taken no position on thefaculty resolution and as far ashe knew it was believed that noposition was called for.The Cornell University Facultyof Arts and Sciences voted in ameeting on May 30th to instructthe registrar to send only classrank, including male and femalestudents of the University, to Se¬lective Service. At the time of thiswriting the University Faculty hadnot met and it had not been deter¬mined what would happen if thetwo faculties took opposite view¬points. As indicated above, Selec¬tive Service would interpret theCornell decision as a decision thatrank was not available.For San Francisco State College,the situation is clearer but the cir¬cumstances are more clouded. TheFaculty Senate is on record as op¬posing the sending of the rank ofmale students to local draftboards, but the president of SanFrancisco State has instructed theregistrar that, on advice of legalcounsel in the Office of the Chan¬cellor of the State College Systemin California, rank of male stu¬dents must be sent on request ofthe student notwithstanding thevote of the Faculty Senate. The le¬gal opinion is said to include astatement that a court would com¬mand the college to furnish this in¬formation because a student hasa right to it, because the studenthas acted on his reliance to obtainit, and because the college has aduty to cooperate with the Selec¬tive Service System.In addition to the report of thepolicies various colleges haveadopted concerning rank for pur¬poses of Selective Service, theCouncil may find relevant the re¬strictions on disclosure of rankeven at the request of the studentwhich a number of major Ameri¬can law schools have imposed inthe last two or three years for rea¬sons unrelated to Selective Service.It should be noted that they willcontinue to be unrelated to Selec¬tive Service for this time, unlikethe Korean War time, law studentsare to be treated as graduate stu¬dents and not as candidates for afirst degree. A number of lawschools who have very high selec¬tion policies for admission havebecome concerned by the tend¬ency of some employers ofyoung lawyers to magnify theimportance of class standingin the employer’s decision tohire or not to hire. They havenoted that the differences in classaverage which may be very smallmay produce a tremendous differ¬ence in class rank. For example,in the class of 1966 at The Univer¬sity of Chicago Law School, 25 stu¬dents are separated by less thanone point in their class average.Reliance on class standing in suchcircumstances tends to magnify in¬significant differences and to exag¬gerate the precision of the gradingprocess. In the fall of 1965, theLaw School at The University ofChicago established a policy of giv¬ing only numerical grade averagesto students and prospective em¬ployers except that for a studentstanding in the first 40 places inthe class a specific class rankwould appear on his transcript. Inaddition, the prospective employer,at the request of the student, isgiven a memorandum which showsthe distribution of members of sev¬eral classes with respect to theircumulative numerical average.The memorandum also shows thedistribution of law students in thenational law school admission test(LSAT). ~Harvard Law School does notmake class standings available toprospective employers. The inter¬viewer receives only an overallOctober 7, 1966 • CHICAGO MAROON • 13W K V I »» W(Continued from Page II)grade average. However, if a stu-:deal is, in fact, in the first 100places in the class, the law schooltells the student and the studentmay tell the interviewer if he wish¬es. The effect of the Harvard prac¬tice is to disclose class standingfor approximately the upper 20 "eof the class.Columbia Law School has a dif¬ferent practice. It will not give outclass standings but it does give theinterviewer a published list of hon¬or students, that is, those on theDean’S list, Kent Scholars, StoneScholars and the like. The practi¬cal effect of the Columbia systemis to reveal the approximate classstanding of students in the upperone-third of the class.Beginning in the fall of 1966, Mi¬chigan will give an employer onlyan overall grade point average.The law school placement officestates that not only will classstandings not be revealed but theywill not even be computed untilafter the class is graduated.In the fall of 1965, PennsylvaniaLaw School abandoned number andletter grades for the purpose ofdiscouraging employers from judg¬ing students by their class stand¬ings. The student is classified as“distinguished,” “excellc n t,”“good.” “qualified” and “unsatis¬factory.” Since this makes it vir¬tually impossible to determine theexact class standing, Pennsylvaniabelieves that it is answering thesame problem that other nationallaw schools are answering by themethod described above.Two important points to remem¬ber about this movement amonglaw schools concerning rank shouldbe noted. First, it is only nationallaw schools with highly selectiveadmissions policies who are begin¬ning to restrict the use of classrank. Schools which have much lessof a “monopoly” of competent stu¬dents have made no move in thisdirection. One purpose of the na¬tional law schools in refusing togive rank even though the studentrequests it, is to induce prospectiveemployers nevertheless to comeand employ students from that lawschool and thereby give more jobsto students in the lower ranks ofthe major law schools. The eco¬nomics of the market place aresuch that the demand for compe¬tent law students “compels” themajor law firms to succumb to thispractice of the national lawschools. The national law schoolsbelieve that even though it is doneat the expense of the one studentwho wants his rank given to theemployer, the system of refusingto give ranks helps other studentsin seeking the advantages of partic¬ular employment. This is in con¬trast with the Selective Service sit¬uation where the refusal to giverank at the request of one studentwould not appear to help other stu¬dents obtain a deferment in the op¬eration of the Selective ServiceSystem. The second point to note isthe theoretical justification whichthe major law schools have givenfor this new process. The justifica¬tion given is that the employerstend to misinterpret the rank be¬cause they fail to take into accountthe selective admission policies ofthe major taw schools. The Selec¬tive Service System, on the otherhand, has taken into account thispossible misinterpretation of rankm another way: It has provided fori national test which may bo usedto determine defer ability rathernan college rank. ,/ v. -;IPage 23 ■ 7 \ V: ■■■Selective Service CollegeQualification TostThis test was first used in 1951.' t was first developed by the Edu-ational Testing Service and later>y Science Research Associates,he test is a three-hour objectivest with 150 questions. The testis always included four kinds of questions:A. Reading ComprehensionB. Verbal RelationsC. Arithmetic ReasoningD. Data InterpretationThe current test is intended to besimilar to the previous SSCQ testsboth with respect to types of ques¬tions and level of performance rep¬resented by various scaled scores.A score of 70 or higher has in thepast been made by approximately50 per cent of college freshmenand approximately 75 per cent ofcollege seniors. The total score onthis test predicts college gradesabout as well as the College BoardScholastic Aptitude test and othercollege admissions tests. Expertjudgment (and a few studies) sug¬gests a very high relation betweenscores on this test and scores oncollege admissions tests, includingthe S.A.T.On the basis of previous experi¬ence, a score of 70 would be ap¬proximately equivalent to an aver¬age score of 500 (average of verbaland mathematics scores) on theCollege Board S.A.T. Less than oneper cent of University of ChicagoCollege students (1966-67) have anaverage S.A.T. of 500 or less. Ofthe 2,161 students in residence inthe Collef. * in 1964-65, 1,866 stu¬dents had S.A.T. scores. Only 11 ofthese had average S.A.T. scores of500 or less. (Two male and ninefemale. Both male students hadgrade point averages below 2.00).In terms of previous experienceif is anticipated that less than oneper cent of male students in theCollege of the University of Chica-go who take the SSCQT will re¬ceive scores of less than 79.In general, only a very smallpercentage of college students inthe highly selective colleges willfail to receive a score of 70 ormore on this test.In contrast, there are a largenumber of colleges and junior col¬leges where only a small per centof the students will receive scoresof 70 or more. Thus, the effect ofthis test is to favor students in theselective colleges and to penalizestudents in the colleges with lowadmissions standards.Students in highly selective col¬leges are unlikley to be drafted,since the large majority (99 percent at the University of Chicago)are likely to make SSCQT scoresof 70+. Students in the collegeswith low admissions requirementsare likely to be deferred primarilyon the basis of grades and rank inclass. The abolition of rank inclass would make most of thesestudents vulnerable to the draft.What cannot be predicted is thebehavior of a draft board in thecase of a student who has a scoreof 70+ on the test but who refuses(or his university refuses) to sup¬ply grades and rank in class.There are 4,000 draft boards and itis likely that decisions will differ,since the national guidelines giveno direction about such cases, oth¬er than to place the burden ofproof on the student. . .Present method of computing rankat ChicagoTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOJune 1, 1966TO: Mr. George L. PlayeDEPARTMENT Dean of Under¬graduate StudentsFROM: Maxine L. SullivanDEPARTMENT RegistrarIn re: 5 Committee Report1. Class will be determined byyear of entrance except whena student graduates afterthree years in the College.2, The year ending for Under¬graduates is at the end of theSpring Quarter. A student whohad not completed a full yearat the end of the SpringQuarter would not be rankeduntil the following Spring.(H o w e v e r, such students’ GPA will be calculated andreported with the notation ofwhat their approximate rankwould be if they had complet¬ed a full year’s program.)3. Rank would be computed an¬nually. A true cumulativerank would be possible onlyafter lengthy updating. Theonly other alternative wouldbe a mean rank for two ormore years and this would beunfair to a number of stu¬dents.4. A full-time student in the Col¬lege is defined as one reg¬istered for no less than threecourses per quarter; a studentregistered for less than threecourses may be certified asfull-time by his dean of stu¬dents if the work is terminalfor a degree of if he is doingother academic work (such aspreparing a senior thesis).5. Students who have qualitygrades in less than eightcourses will not be ranked byclass but will be handled indi¬vidually. Quality grades areA, B, C, D, F, and P. (i.e. allexcept Incomplete and R ). Inactually computing the gradepoint average and hence therank, courses in which a Pwas received will also be ex¬cluded.Inequities in ranking2A. Pass-Fail coursesThe problem is that while agrade of Pass is indeterminate asbetween A, B, C, D, (hence assign¬ing it a value of 3.5, for example,would be arbitrary), it is distinctfrom F . The registrar at presentplans to disregard P in computinggrade point average. But a studentwith one F and several P gradeswould be unfairly discriminatedagainst. So also in the more realis¬tic case, a student with one F , twospecific passing grades, and a Pshould in some sense have a small¬er oentribution from that F to hisgrade point average than a studentwho had the same record withoutthe P grade (one fewer course aswell). The Pass-fail system and thesystem of specific grades are real¬ly incommensurable. Many con¬ventions for computing can be con¬ceived, but adoption of any one ofthem would be arbitrary and wouldsystematically discriminateagainst some students and in favorof others. (This will be a particularproblem in the future when morecourses in the College are taken onthe pass-fail system).2B. Discrimination against heavi¬er course loadsA student with 3 grades A andone grade B will be ranked belowa student with 3 grades A , al¬though the first student will verylikely have worked harder, otherthings being equal. There seems tobe no way of correcting this.2C. Differences in course difficul¬ty, in grading practices of in-dividual instructors or of en¬tire departmentsClearly all these variables willsubstantially effect rankings. Aninitial suggestion to neutralizethem would be to determine some¬thing like a percentile for each stu¬dent in each course separately,then average these to obtain anumber similar to a rank. Theproblem is that the percentile istoo crude a measure for courseswith a small number of students,and also for certain irregular dis¬tributions in large courses. In acourse with four students, whetherthe distribution is A,B,B,D, or A,C,-C,D will make no differences underthis proposed system, although wewould clearly want it to.2D. Work not covered by gradesPart of a student’s work (for ex¬ample exams taken for a B.A. inHistory) may not be included inthe rank computation. 2THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOOffice of the Dean of Undergrad¬uate Students June I, 1966TO. George L. PlayeFROM: Mark HallerIn re: Selective Service and theChicago StudentsThe following report, dealingwith the impact of Selective Service upon the academic decisions ofChicago students, is based upon interviews with 12 of the 14 CollegeAdvisers. These 12 include all ofthe full-time advisers and all of theadvisers with more than * year’experience. What is interesting isthe near unanimity of theirimpressions.The first question explored withadvisers was the degree to whichconcern with class rank has effect¬ed student decisions. Such concerncould be reflected in a decision totake easy courses rather thanhard, to change from a difficultmajor to an easier major, or todrop from four courses to threecourses in order to raise grades.The answer appears to be that students do not make such academicdecisions out of fear of the localdraft board.With regard to choosing easycourses, one adviser reported thatshe knows only two students whohave done so because of the draft;but neither of them is a seriousstudent and both probably wouldhave chosen easy courses anyway.Another adviser, with over 200 ad¬visees, knows “one student whomight change a course because ofthe draft.” The views of the otheradvisers are summed up by thestatement of one adviser that she“really can’t think of any caseThere is, in short, virtually nonoticeable effect of class rankupon student choice of courses.This does not mean that studentsare unconcerned about grades.Grades can bring self-respect, parental praise, continuation of finan-cial aid, and admittance <o grad¬uate school. Indeed, one of theadvisers in the physical sciencespointed out that large numbers ofstudents are eager to be admittedto honors courses in mathematicsand physics. Thus, rather than tak¬ing easy courses to get goodgrades, they are attempting to getgood grades in order to take hard¬er courses. Advisers feel that, onthe whole, the only students whofrequently think in terms of easycourses are those who are eitheron probation or in danger of proba¬tion and therefore plan with theiradvisers concerning the best strat¬egy for academic survival. Asidefrom a few such cases, studentschoose course because the coursesare required, because the studentwould like to explore a particulararea to test his interests, or be¬cause certain courses seem inter¬esting and challenging. These fac¬tors are of such overriding impor¬tance that they continue to out¬weigh the factor of ranking for thedraft.The same holds true in thechoice of a major. Students at Chi¬cago are continually worried aboutthe choice of a major and advisoryconferences often involve long dis¬cussions concerning the value andsuitability of various fields of con¬centration; yet no adviser couldthink of any student who had madea choice or a change because ofconcern about Selective Service.Similarly, no adviser could re¬member any case in which a stu¬dent had taken three Courses rath¬er than four out of a desire to raiseclass rank for Selective Servicepurposes. While students often express concern about the draft, suchimportant academic decisions asthe field of concentration or thenumber of courses to take eachquarter are made on other groundsthan a concern with academicrank.Nevertheless, while, class rankappears to have little or no impactCHICAGO M A R O O N • October 7, 1966 upon academic decisions, the students fear of being drafted if h<quits school definitely does play animportant part in many decisionsAll advisers report that a substantial minority of male students feelocked into school by the draft systern and unable to choose to leaveA reluctance to leave school can b<reflected in such decisions as: (i;remaining in school even when thestudent would rather take a yeaior two off in order to find himscliand reassess his goals; (2) extending the program for the bachelor’sdegree to a full four years evenwhen the student could graduateearlier; and (3) a decision to aittend graduate school even whena student would rather try someother path after graduation.The most serious problem, theadvisers agree, is that many malestudents with motivational andacademic problems should at leaslconsider the possibility of leavingschool in order to seek psychological counseling, in order to re-examine their goals and interests, oiin order to mature in an atmosphere away from studies. A fewstudents, infact, now desperatelydesire to take a leave of absence.Yet many male students feel thatsuch an alternative is closed tothem because of the possibility ofmilitary service. As one adviserexpressed it, students “fee!pressed to remain” and this “compounds their problems while here.”While the number of students involved in such a trap is relativelysmall, all advisers stress the greatseriousness of the problem, bothfor the student who feels trappedand unhappy and for the College,which can offer such students littlein the way of advice or challenge.Furthermore, a few advisers report cases of students who are nowplanning to take four years for thebachelor’s rather than three years.In many cases, of course, this is apefectly legitimate academic deci¬sion for a student to make and isoften encouraged by the College.The problem is that a few studentsnow appear to be making such adecision for Selective Service rath¬er than academic reasons. Finally,several advisers fear that somestudents are planning to attendgraduate or professional schoolsalthough they might otherwisehave chosen a different course.The adviser for premedical stu¬dents is especially concerned bythis aspect. She feels that, becausemedical school offers a sure 2-Sdeferment, the number of studentswho will apply to medical schoolnext year will be significantlylarger than during the pest. In ad¬dition, she feels that male studentshave bcome even more worriedthan in the past concerning admis¬sion to medical school and thatmany have chosen easier coursesin order to increase the likelihoodof acceptance. These would be stu¬dents whose class rank is relatively high and whose desire to raisetheir grades is not directly in¬fluenced by Selective Service, butrather indirectly through increasedanxiety about admission to medicalschool. Some other advisers, whilenot as concerned as the pre medadviser, also feel that the draft hasincreased anxieties about admis¬sion to graduate and professionalschools.Naturally enough, such generali¬zations about the effect of SelectiveService must be viewed in the context of the fact that relatively fewof our students are faced with achoice of whether to graduate inthree years or four, that pre-medi¬cal students have always beencompetitive. in their search forgood grades, and that for manyyears almost all of our graduateshave been attending graduate andprofessional schools anyway.In short, Selective Service policy(Continued on Page 15)Compromise versus Extreme in Controversyhas not noticeably impinged uponstudent decisions through thethreat that some students with lowrank may possibly be drafted. Noadviser felt that this aspect ofdraft policy had any significant ornoticeable effect. Rather, SelectiveService affects students chiefly bymaking it highly likely that theywill be drafted if they leave school.This has caused a few students toprolong their undergraduate pro¬grams, influenced some to seekgraduate education when theymight not otherwise have done so,but is most seriously seen in theproblem that some male studentsare prevented from considering amoratorium from school becauseof the fear of military service. Thislast problem is a very serious onefor the College and the students in¬volved.Statement of aCommittee MemberTn the following pages, one Com¬mittee member would like to ex¬plore areas which the Committeeas a whole touched on briefly ornot at all, and to suggest answers,as best he can, to a few cf thequestions remaining. The proposalas here stated is very specific, butthe intention is rather to suggestthe most important genera] areasfor further investigation.1. Rank, grade point average,and similar informationshould not be computed atall by the University.2. The transcript should bemodified (in the frameworkof section III. 2. of the re¬port) as indicated in the fol¬lowing part of a tentativecover letter to accompanyit:“In an effort to providemore accurate informationon the academic perform¬ance of its students, TheUniversity of Chicago hasadopted a new form of tran¬script: following the nameof a course and the gradethe student received, thetranscript will indicate thetotal number of studentsenrolled in that course andthe number of these who re¬ceived each of the marks A,B, C, D, F, P, t, and R, inother words, a full gradedistribution for the course.This form of transcript pro-v i d e s information fromwhich one can determinethe relative significance of a n individual student’sgrade in each of the coursesin which he was enrolled,even when grading prac¬tices vary greatly from in¬structor to instructor. Be¬cause of such varying grad¬ing practices, and becauseof the complexity of thegrading system itself (whichis likely to increase ratherthan decrease with comingreorganizations in the pro¬gram of study) any formulafor computing a simple rankwill unfairly discriminateagainst some students andin favor of others. Thegrade distributions incourses in which a studentwas not enrolled should inany case not be consideredrelevant to that student’srank. Although grade pointaverage and rank will notbe computed in the future,the new form of transcriptcontains all the informationpertinent to a student’s rela¬tive standing, and containsit in a form which enablesone to determine the signifi¬cance of individual gradeswith more assurance, and totake into account variationsin grading practice to a de¬gree impossible before.”The “cover letter” aboveimplicitly suggests answersto the two questions men¬tioned in section III. 2. Suchfurther considerations aswere mentioned at the endof that section might berelevant as follows:a) There will be a de¬creased impetus for stu¬dents to choose easycourses, since the fullgrade distribution willbe indicated on the tran¬script.b) Instructors cannot puttheir students at an ad¬vantage relative to oth¬ers by giving generallyhigh grades, since thereader of the transcriptwill be able to correctfor this.c) If it is feared thatsomeone reading a tran¬script could determinethe grades of individualstudents other than thatwhose record it was, thegrade distributionsmight be omitted for courses with fewer than,say, 6 students. Gradedistributions for suchsmall courses would inany case have muchless significance.d) There would be an in¬creased likelihood thatreceivers of such tran¬scripts would use a“grey area” system ofevaluation, or at leasttake more of the hu¬manly relevant varia¬bles into account inmaking their judge¬ments.e) Although feeling ofcompetition between in¬dividual students mightincrease somewhat,there would also be acause for it to decreasesince rank was no long¬er used end a studentcould expect more indi¬vidual evaluation of histranscript, in line withthe preceding para¬graph.3. As a temporary expedientfor this year only, roughestimates of rank amongmales, determined by in¬spection of a single tran¬script of the new format,could be provided for thosestudents who will not havetaken the Selective ServiceCollege Qualifying Test, orwho say they have evidencethat their local board is re¬acting unfavorably to thePIERRE ANDREFACE FLATTERING CHICSeventeen SkilledHair Stylists at5242 HYDE PARK BLVD.DO 3-072710% STUDENT DISCOUNTYou won't have to put yourmoving or storage problemoff until tomorrow If youcall m today. the absence of rank. (Thisis in the framework of sec¬tion VII of this report.)a) It is almost inconceiv¬able that a local boardwill interpret as a pro¬test against SelectiveService the combinationofi) a cover letter ex¬plaining the reasons,connected with equityfor students and witheffects on the educa¬tional system, whythe University cannotrelease a rank forany purpose;ii) a rough estimate ofrank among malescoming from a Uni¬versity official, withindications that thisis a temporary ex¬pedient necessary be¬cause the Universi¬ty’s decision was notreached until late inthe year, and somestudents had acted inreliance on the avail¬ability of rank.b) The “rough estimate”could actually be notwhether the student isin a certain large cate¬gory (top half or bottomhalf) but rather of hisapproximate position(middle, upper fourthdecile, etc.). With manylocal boards this mightavoid the “boundary problems” involved inthe rank, namely that avery small difference inone grade can make allthe difference betweenbeing on the top or thebottom half.4. Similar estimates of rankmight be used within theUniversity for various pur¬poses, at least in the shortrun. But any official releaseof information ouside theUniversity, other than tran¬scripts and the usual state¬ments of admission, etc.would have to be carefullyprevented to avoid possiblelegal problems. The esti¬mates of rank among malesdiscussed above would prob¬ably have to be available toany student who said heneeded them for the legiti¬mate reasons indicated.5. An omnibus proposal oftype indicated here might insome respects be a com¬promise policy allowingmore flexibility for recon¬sideration than some others.This would probably not betrue of the modification oftranscripts.6. In the context in which thecontroversy has arisen onthis campus, there is aworld of difference betweena compromise proposal ofthis nature and a proposalat any one of several ex¬tremes.LEHNHOFF SCHOOLOF MUSIC AND DANCEAnnounces special classes and courses t( coincide with U of Cschool calendar for University student.MUSIC STUDY/ 'Outstanding faculty, composed of members from the ChicagoSymphony, Grant Park, and Lyric Opera Orchestras.Private lessons: clarinet, flute, trumpet, recorder, french horn,violin, piano, viola.Class lessons: recorder,- theory and harmony.DANCEPETERSON MOVINGAND STORAGE CO.12655 S.

You admit props in it, andall of a sudden you have the possi¬bility of ideological theatre. We’reout to destroy barriers between usand the audience. This is a spon¬taneous act of creation between theactors and the audience—the min¬strels go out amongst the audienceand engage them. We do Corn-media D’el L’arte shows outside, inthe park, everyone under the samesky dig? To do this we have to de¬velop our own style, the theatreoperates motivationally but mime-tically, in other words there arereal feelings being portrayed butthey are being portrayed in an ex¬aggerated and distilled way, manyof the complexities being takenaway from them, so that some¬times other complexities can beseen. This is like a self-sufficientcompany, it takes a lot of training.We run our own classes in politics,because everyone has to have in¬formation to play the shows—to adlib effectively. You have to knowwhat you’re doing—politics, dance,mime, work-outs, shop courses,tech courses, everything becausewe have no money—absolutelynone. We have to make up for thatwith skill, imagination and energy.We find it necessary to educatepeople so that they know the de¬tails of the history they are por¬traying. For the Minstrel Showprerequisite for everyone was Mal¬colm X’s autobiography, BlackBourgeoisie by Frazier, and Stok-ley Carmicheal’s speeches. I readeleven magazines and journals amonth just to get information,data, cause you can’t think withoutfacts, painful and distastful as thatmight seem to college freshmen—you need facts to think. You mayget people who are not politicallyaware but are emotionally commit¬ ted to a kind of freedom that themiddle class way of life doesn’t of¬fer them. Or just emotionally com¬mitted to the kind of wraggle tog¬gle gypsy air of the Mime Troupe—but the Mime Troupe demandsmore of them than just that. Theycan either learn, perform andwork, or they leave. Politics is art.Politics treats an intercourse be¬tween bodies of people, and that’swhat the theatre does. The theatreis magic. All art is ultimately po¬litical or it’s meaningless. It maybe ideologically one way or theother but if it’s not political it’sKeene. It’s Norman Rockwell. Buteven that, strangely enough is po¬litical in a very debased way. Itreflects certain common attitudesby a large body of people.Maroon: Well, are you on yourThe Collegiate Press ServiceBOULDER, Colo.—If you don’tlike your final grade, take it tocourt.

At IdaNoyes Hall, 8:15 p.m. tomorrow.There was a time, long ago,when the University asked formoney for new student housing.One Wallace Francisco Smyrd,who made his fortune by inventingthe “automatic cow” milk dispen¬ser, answered the call, insistingonly that the dorm be co-ed.Smyrd believed in the good life.The dorm was built, with twofloors for men and two for women,and named Flint. Flint? Smyrd, itwas rumored, habitually leapedfrom behind Midway trees at pass¬ing women students. Frowning onthis behavior, administrators re¬fused to name the dorm for its do¬nor.Today’s Flint men disapprove ofthe administration’s disapproval,and plan tomorrow’s party to pro¬test what they call the “Smirch onSmyrd.” A march to the Presi¬dent’s house will further dramatizetheir indignation.Women will be admitted free, asSmyrd would have wished. Menwill pay a slight admission fee tocover food and band costs.

In fact, her reputation is sogreat that the film’s producerstried to prevent her being cast asthe sympathetic lead since theyfelt that the film would be misin¬terpreted.IT IS HARD to see how thatwould happen since M. Allio hasput together what he calls an “al¬legory” with extreme clarity, andsince Sylvie gives a performancethat is completely convincing. Theplot is simple: Madame Berthe,after many years the devoted andimpoverished wife of a middleclass store owner, finds herself awidow with a store that is bank¬rupt. Her children reluctantlyagree to sell the store and give hera small portion of their incomes.They all assume that she shall livea secluded life for the short whilebefore she dies. Instead she takesthe opportunity to do such “shame¬less” things as go to the movies,buy gadgets, take vacations. Whatis worse is that for companions shechoses a slut and a socialist shoe¬maker.The story is based on a shortnovel by Bertolt Brecht that Allioread when he was asked to designa cover for a new French edition.There has been some discussion,and I am afraid there shall bemore, of the Brechtian elements ofthe film.GRANTED THAT THERE aresuperficial similarities such as theunderlining of the theme by a pop-ballad and the stating of the moralat the end. However, the success ofthe film hinges on the fact that onebecomes involved with MadameBerthe. If the film had beenBrechtian it would have been bothliterary and unsuccessful. In avoid¬ing the temptation to be Brechtian,Allio has created a good personalfilm.The other great temptation wasthat of making what Allio calls a“set designer’s film”. To avoidthis, he said, he shot the film en¬tirely on location in Marseilles andits suburbs. He avoided extremelystunning compositions and set-ups.Instead all the compositions aresimple, in keeping with the simpli¬city of the characters and thetheme.The Shameless Old Lady is thetype of film that can suffer fromtoo much praising. If you go to itexpecting a masterpiece, you willprobably be disappointed. One,however, who goes into this littlepicture with no preconceptions,should find it both a rewarding andan extremely entertaining exper¬ience. wmm% .• •> : V ^aa^||jjjaBgBj^TWiiiWI|WI|llWIWTWBMHWWHBMIIIWWPWPIiKI||IWBB^JTTi^TiBII$iffllT1HBfilll1WIH?*8IWff*^lla*^t>*ffCulture CalendarARTART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO—Six¬ty-Eight American Exhibition; thru Oct.16 20th Century Art acquired within thelast decade; thru Oct.

The Dunham report statesthat a 70 corresponds to an SATscore of 5bu and that only twomales in the college lack such ascore. What does an 80 correspondto? I know of several capable stu¬dents who scored below 80. Howmany fall into this category?There must be many such studentswho will not rank in the upper Viand who will score over 70 and un¬der 80 on the draft test. They arelikely to be drafted. destroys the educational processby making the pressure for gradestoo intense to resist. Educationceases and grade grubbing begins.Dean Booth speaks repeatedly offree inquiry. Can we have free in¬quiry and ranking? Once Mr.Booth spoke out against the rank.Will he do so again or will he si¬lently allow the demise of educa¬tional free inquiry in this college.KENNETH KRICHPlea for Magazines too old to qualify for the YouthFare and also that because of theChristmas rush the Fare would bealmost impossible to use.Student Government never publi-cally replied to my letter. Private¬ly, however, they claimed the sus¬pension of the Christmas programwas based on the Excursion Planand not the Youth Fare. I believe,however, that SG charters andgroup flights would still be fulleven with the Excursion Plan ineffect because:Even those not in the top V* whoscore over 80 may be in danger.Test score alone is becoming in¬creasingly undependable. The Dun¬ham Report stated that someboards in Washington and Oregonrequire both criteria. New evi¬dence indicates that some boardsin Los Angeles require passingscores in both areas. If this trendbecomes more widespread, 34’s ofthe graduating males may end upin khaki and not in graduateschool, regardless of their drafttest score.Therefore fourth year students,to insure graduate study, will needat least 2 A’s and 7 B’s. If thisadded incentive raises grade aver¬ages, upper quarter may even riseto 3 A’s and 6 B’s.It looks like this school is in forgrade grubbing at a heretofore un¬heard of rate. I for one, being bothfourth-year and an Angeleno, amin a quandary. Should I keep myeducational behaviour pure (i. e.education, not grade oriented) andperhaps have this education termi¬nate in June, or should I allowmyself to be corrupted and thus ex¬tend my educational eareer fourmore years? In fact, can I evenget a 3.2 if I try, considering theheavy competition?With this in mind I feel evensurer now than I did in May thatthis school should cease deliveringranks to the Selective SlaughterSystem. It is not that I wish stu¬dents to be a special protectedgroup. I oppose elitist, eugenic stu¬dent deferments, for moral andstructural reasons. Neither do Iwant students drafted, since I op¬pose the draft. The point is, ifthere is going to be a draft, and ifstudents are going to be drafted,then colleges should at least try topreserve their educational qualityfor those that remain. Ranking TO THE EDITOR:Every year U.S. citizens destroy(discard, throw away, bum, etc.)many millions of interesting U.S.magazines of all kinds.Do you know about this lamenta¬ble fact?At the same time, many foreign¬ers would enjoy these magazines.I am one of them. I am 33 yearsold. I work in a textile works, how¬ever, my chief interest is: polyhis-torism. I take great interest inphilosophy, psychology, psychoa¬nalysis, natural sciences, langu¬ages, (English, German, Spanish,Russian, French, Italian, Czech,Slovak).I would be grateful to you foryour mailing me all your backdatemagazines which you are going todiscard.Please mail them to my address:Gajza HaulikSvitany-Lany,KPT. Jarose 72CzachoslavakiaI thank you very much in ad¬vance for your great favor. Cor¬dially Yours.GEJZA HAULIKFavors Charter FlightsTO THE EDITOR:When it came to my attentionthis past Summer that StudentGovernment intended to abolish itsChristmastime charter flight pro¬gram, I sent a “Letter to the Edi¬tor,” which was subsequently pub¬lished in the Maroon, announcingmy opposition to the suspension ofthis program and explaining whySG*s reason for doing it (the YouthFare) was faulty. Briefly, I showedthat a majority of UC students are 1) The Excursion Fare and theSG Group Fare are approximate¬ly the same; the SG Charter Fareis much cheaper than the Excur¬sion Fare.2) School begins on January 2, sostudents must return to school Jan¬uary 1. Under the Excursion Planthey would have to leave in themorning; with SG they wou\d leavein the afternoon. I don’t think stu¬dents would give up either a NewYear’s celebration or a night’ssleep to take a flight when theycould get this same flight later inthe day at approximately the sameprice and not have to make thesacrifice.I urge every student who feels,as I do, that SG must retain itsChristmas flight program to con¬tact his Student Government rep¬resentative immediately and ex¬press his feelings.ALAN BLOOMINDEPENDENTSG REPRESENTATIVEWOODWARD COURTWill UC Evict?TO THE EDITOR:All but a few of the former ten¬ants of the Broadview have movedto other locations in Hyde Park, jMost of them being compelled to Ipay higher rents, which they ill jcan afford. However, our mainworry now is—will the University!“evict” us from our new locations? ,Rumors are spreading thick andfast that more of the hotels may betaken over.Many of us senior citizens havespent a large part of our lives inHyde Park and feel we should nothave to live under the threat of the ;all-powerful Chicago University. jIf further buildings are to be va¬cated for student housing, the sen-Gumpert and Rangers Still Riding...(Continued from Page Seven)statement that said, in part, “Wefeel and know that extortioDaround our schools and otherplaces are the doings of sn:„e out¬side intruders. But w-, the Rang¬ers. get the blame for it all. Weoo not profess to being angels but,we have been unjustly accusedmany times of commiting acts ofwhich we have no knowledge—thisbeing one of them. . We as an or-, ganization are making a vow thatviolence and extortion will end.Even though we have not been in-I volved in most of it.”I The press conference was held atI the First Presbyterian Church ofI Woodlawn at 64th and Kimbark.I The First Church has been lettingI the Rangers use their facilities asI a center and, they have, in generalI encouraged the Rangers to remainI together as a group. After theI Press conference I asked JamesI Erye, pastor of the church, how heI could, with a clear conscience,I suPPort a group that had been re-I sponsible for so much violence. HeI answered me by saying, “It is notI our support that is keeping the Rangers going. They would be justas close together without our help. . . I am certain that they couldnot be broken up.”FRYE MAY be right in his viewthat the Rangers cannot be brokenup, but it’s hard to believe that hissolution—actively encouraging thegang to remain in its present form—is going to solve the problem.The indication of the feelings ofthe Negro community toward thegang problem was expressed in theOctober 1 Chicago Courier, a SouthSide Negro newspaper. In an edito¬rial entitled “Gangs Must Go!,” thepaper stated, “Now we are facedwith a full emergency, a real di-lema. Our youths have organizedthemselves! With inexperiencedhands they are trying to fashionout a solution to conditions theybelieve are caused by us, and theyare right! . . , They are right in at¬tempting to band together for solu¬tions; they are right condemningthose who have made promises toaid them and have categoricallybroken them; but they are com¬pletely wrong in attempting to du¬plicate and imitate the laws of the jungle in a society of people!”THE COURIER fails to go theone inevitable step further and de- jclare that the Rangers are the out¬growth of an aberrant social situa- Jtion and could not possibly be aconstructive force in Woodlawn ontheir own. For the Rangers to be auseful influence would take themost skilled supervision, and eventhen the results would not be guar¬anteed, because being a BlacKstoneRanger has for so long meantlawlesness and violence. , .As the present situation drags onand the situation worsens, thechances and means for solving itbecome that much more difficult.Any solution will necesitate, first,more police manpower, and sec¬ondly, a lot of money. For theRangers have not only the prob¬lems of a slum community, but theadditional headaches of a large or¬ganization. They are simply notprepared, and cannot be expectedto be prepared, to cope with thepublicity and recognition they haveacquired by themselves. They needhelp from somewhere soon. ior tenants should not be disturbedexcept by attrition.We appeal to the Maroon, andthe fair-minded students, to cometo our aid in this matter.A FORMER SENIOR TENANTOF THE BROADVIEW HOTELA South African ViewOn Monday night I attended alecture by Mr. Franz Lee, whichpurported to present a first handpicture of the plight of the blackpeople in South Africa. As a SouthAfrican student of theology whohas worked and studied amonstboth blacks and whites in South Af¬rica, I found Mr. Lee’s speech dis¬tasteful in that he deliberatelygave false information and quotedselectively in his eagerness to por¬tray a biased image.One of the most blatant lies wasMr. Lee’s statement that blacksare prohibited of owning land inSouth Africa, in tact, when SouthAfrica became independent fromEngland in 1910, all the land origi¬nally belonging to the black people,which comprised a half of the to¬tal land area (protectorates includ¬ed) was reserved exclusively forblack ownership. Not only canblacks buy land there, but they arethe only ones who can.Mr. Lee tried to portray theSouth African situation as a strug¬gle between rich versus poor, or atypical class conflict theory. Infact, the situation is one, in whichthere are totally different national¬ities, speaking different languagesand with totally different culturalbackground and traditions. Thewhite South African nation is anation of European descent,formed of nearly 4 million peoplewhose ancestors emigrated toSouth Africa 300 years ago and set¬tled in the previously upopulatedland. In order to prevent this na¬tion to be dominated by a blackpopulation, and to avoid the blacksto be dominated by the whites, it islong ago decided that each peopleshould be allowed to live accordingto its own uclture, on its own land,and to govern itself independentlyof the rest. This is the policy whichwe are now carrying out.In discussing the pngnt of theblacks in South Africa, Mr. Lee ne¬glected to say the following: Thatthe blacks in South Africa have astandard of living more than threetimes higher than in any other Af¬rican country That 80 percent of all black youngsters inSouth Africa are already literate,which is phenomenally above theAfrican average That 80 percent of school age blacks are at¬tending school, which is providedfree of charge through allgrades That free medicalcare and hospitalization is available to all blacks in all parts ofSouth Africa. . . . .That there areat present over 800,000 blacks inSouth Africa from outside thecountry, who have entered to theadvantage of work opportunitiesand social services.One of Mr. Lee’s most ridiculousstatements was that works byHemingway, Sartre, Dostoyevskyand other prominent authors of theWestern world, are banned inSouth Africa—a statement accept¬ed by the audience with applause.In this the way in which he wantsto form public opinion? I couldnever have thought that such a sit¬uation could ever exist in a mod¬ern world of “up to date communi¬cation.”Having myself grown up in SouthAfrica and being familiar with thesituation there and with the think¬ ing of the blacks, I have to saythat Mr. Lee’s speech was grosslyinaccurate and that he does not re¬present the black people of SouthAfrica.RUDOLPH VAN NIEKERKStudents Not on the BallTO THE EDITOR:1929 is a famous year in the his¬tory of Chicago. It was the yearthe “Great Depression” began andthe year Robert Maynard Hutchinstook over as chancellor of the Uni¬versity of Chicago. Hutchins insti¬tuted reforms which undoubtedlyimproved the academic standardsat UC. In his fanatical drive to im¬prove UC’s educational system,however, he used a scapegoat—thefootball team.Unfortunately, the opinion to¬wards football on campus, as evi¬denced by the poor attendence atlast year’s football games, is stillone of repulsion. Robert MaynardHutchins achieved his goal. Hemade the terrible analogy stick—he related football to the degenera¬cy of scholastic standards—hemade great football players andidiots seem like peers.UC students pride themselves onbeing able to study all forms of“art”—football is an art. Hutchinswanted well educated students—learning how to play football is aform of education. The “pseudo-in¬tellectuals” may tell you that allsports, especially football, are bad;the true intellectuals will say thata sound mind AND a sound bodygo together.True, intercollegiate football hasoften been a symbol of a loweringof academic standards. “Redshirt”players, alumni interests, nationalnews coverage and payoffs haveall overshadowed academic inter¬ests in some collegiate sections ofour country. But why should wefear it here? Why should we as¬sume that the administrationwould let academic standards de¬teriorate to the point where a per¬son’s athletic ability would enablehim to graduate?We find ourselves in a ludicroussituation; it is agreed that all UCstudents should develop themselvesin all of the fields that interestthem; yet those students who likefootball, although having theacademic ability to get a “legiti¬mate” degree are hindered fromfully developing their abilities.They are ostracized because theydare to go against the tradition setforth by Hutchins. They form aclass, not a team.Granted, the UC backfield has lit¬tle resemblance to Notre Dame’s“Four Horsemen,” but the Maroondoesn’t have Grantland Rice on itsstaff either.The members of the footballteam deserve a better fate thanthey have thus far received. Theyare not professionals—there are noathletic scholarships made by theUniversity, and it has been quitesome time since a UC graduatemade football his career. No do theteam members play for glory;when only twenty or thirty peopleshow up to witness a game there isno glory to be had. They play be¬cause they like football, and it isunfair to ridicule them for that.Last year the football team man¬aged to gain only one tie in threegames, but at least they tried. Itwould be nice if the football“class” became a football team. Itwould be nice if people went to seethem play—our fellow studentsdeserve it.SYD UNGEROctober 7, 1966 • CHICAGO MAROON • 19Temple Saved from Dam, Nations UniteWith Flood of Sympathy for MonumentInternational efforts to saveRamses II's temple Abu Simbelin Nubia, Egypt, have beensuccessful, according to JohnA. Wilson, Andrew MacLeish dis¬tinguished professor of Egyptologyat the Oriental Institute. Abu Sim¬bel, one of more than 20 templesthreatened by the Aswan damproject, has been moved to higherground at a cost of $36 million.IT BECAME APPARENT in 1960that Abu Simmel, which is one ofthe most unique and historicallyimportant temples in the world,was going to be submerged in thelake formed by the Aswan dam,scheduled for completion in 1965.An International appeal, organizedby UNESCO (United Nations Edu¬cational, Scientific and CulturalOrganization), was made for fundsto save the temple. The U.S. sup¬plied $12 million in advance, Egyptabout $12 million, and other coun¬tries $5 million.The projected goal of the projectwas to save 23 monument threat¬ened by the lake. Seventeen ofthese were dismantled, moved, andreassembled. However, accordingto Wilson, “The two temples atAbu Simbel were a different propo¬sition. They were not built byblock, but were drilled into the sol¬id sandstone cliff by workers ofRamses II in 1300 B.C.”A plan to move the temple tohigher ground intact was consid¬ered. The temple would have beenjacked up 187 feet on steel columnsin a two year project that would have cost over $80 million. This! plan was rejected for financial rea¬sons and a shortage of time. The; temple was finally sawed intoblocks of from two to 20 tons andI these blocks were trucked up to a; plain above the level of the lake,j There Abu Simbel is being reas¬sembled this fall.! In this five year project, the Ori¬ental Institute was the first to an-l swer UNESCO's appeal. John Wil-1 son, director of the Oriental Insti-i tute from 1960-1961, and now theexecutive secretary of the United! States National Committee for thePreservation of the Nubian Monu¬ments, last visited the site in May1966. Since I960, five expeditionshave been sent to Nubia and Sudanby the Oriental Institute, which‘ participated in the rescue opera¬tion more consistently than mostother groups.Other field activities of the Ori¬ental Institute include the excava¬tions at Chogha Mish in Iran ledby professor P. Delougaz, field di¬rector. The group has been obtain¬ing evidence as to the distributionand dating of the early settle¬ments, which were occupied as awhole during the Protoliterate pe¬riod, with various phases in thepre-historic period. They uncov¬ered a circular structure, withmassive walls and no entrance butwith deposits of animal and humanbone. The largest bulk of the findswere pottery, eighteen crates ofwhich are now at the institute.This includes two ritual vases, onedecorated in relief with goats at¬tacked by snakes. UC SDS Holds First Meeting“The march on Washingtonmade us the jazzy thing oncampus—the organization withsex appeal,” commented BobRoss, first vice-president of Stu¬dents for a Democratic Society(SDS), at that organization’s orien¬tation meeting Tuesday night atIda Noyes Hall.While the exact purpose of themeeting remained unclear, mem¬bers of SDS resolved that theywould remain a multi-issue radicalorganization this year, with theirfingers in several political pies,and their members acting individ¬ually as well as collectively. • A rally protesting the use ofrank in the draft, co-sponsored bySDS and Students Against theRank (SAR).One heavily discussed topic wasthe age-old question of whetherSDS should plan to work within thepolitical framework (e.g. by help¬ing liberal or left-wing candidatesget elected to public office) or out¬side it (eg. by demonstrations,etc ). The question, however, wasnot resolved at this meeting. being applied to SDS.
