Chicago Maroon MIDWEEKEDITION75th Anniversary YearVol. 75 No. 14 The University of Chicago Tuesday, October 18, 1966DEMOCRATIC BIGWIGS: From I. to r., Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (N.Y.),Sen. Paul H. Douglas (III.), Fifth Ward Committeeman MarshallKorshak, and Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, at rally Saturdayat the Hyde Park shopping center.Kennedy Plugs DouglasBefore Skeptical Crowdby Slade LanderNew York Senator Robert F.Kennedy stumped ChicagoSaturday in support of the re-?lection bid of Illinois SenatorPaul H. Douglas.Speaking before a crowd of overthree thousand at the Hyde ParkShopping Center, Kennedy calledDouglas “the conscience of theSenate” and added that Douglaswas the Senator who had donemost to bring about urban renewal.Douglas is running for re-electionto the Senate against former Illi-n o i s gubernatorial candidateCharles Percy.Party of DissatisfiedIn describing the Democraticparty, Kennedy said, “The Demo¬cratic party must be the party ofthe dissatisfied.”“We haven’t solved all the prob¬lems of urban America,” Kennedyadded, “but we’ve made prog¬ress.”ALSO PRESENT at the rallywere Douglas and Chicago MayorRichard J. Daley. Both spokebriefly.Boos drowned out cheers whenDaley was introduced as “the manmost responsible for the election ofPresident John F. Kennedy,” and when Kennedy referred to him as“my good friend, Mayor Daley.Kennedy stated that he had “dif¬ferences of some importance onpresent Vietnam policy. He did not.however, elaborate on what thosedifferences are. “There is no easysolution to Vietnam,” he said.Demonstrators PresentDemonstrators against Americanpolicy on Vietnam were present atthe rally. There were perhaps thir¬ty anti-war placards displayedthroughout the crowd. The demon¬stration was not organized by anyspecific protest group and bothHyde Park residents and Universi¬ty students participated in it.SPEAKING IN reference to thedemonstrators, Kennedy statedthat their patriotism should not bequestioned and that they are enti¬tled to free expression of theiropinions. Likewise, he said, sup¬porters of the Vietnam policyshould be allowed free expressionand should not be hampered bydisruptive demonstrations.The rally lasted an hour includ¬ing the approximately twenty min¬utes it took Douglas and Kennedyto walk through the crowd to theircar at the close of the rally.Despite the cold weather, Kenne¬dy did not wear a topcoat at anytime during the rally. California Dean forExtensive ComputerUse in All Teaching“Improved education andincreased learning capacityare the only things that cankeep man floating abovethe rising tide of information in¬stead of drowning in it,” saidRalph W. Gerard of the Universityof California at Irvine at the Lawschool auditorium last night.THE FIRST speaker in the Mon¬day lecture series, Gerard claimedthat the only way mankind can im¬prove his educational system rap¬idly enough is through computers.“The computer,” he said, “willcause education to utterly changeits character over the next decadeor two. It will be the greatest so¬ciological change man will undergoin this century.”According to Gerard, computereducation is already making tre¬mendous advances. At the Univer¬sity of California, he noted, wherehe is dean of graduate students,there has been much success withcomputer courses in psychology,economics, and mathematics. Ge¬rard is also involved in a programof inter-university communication(Continued on Page Eight)Divinity DirectorSpike Found DeadDr. Robert W. Spike, director ofthe Doctor of Ministry program ofthe University of Chicago DivinitySchool was found dead yesterdayafternoon in his room at a guesthouse on the campus of The OhioState University, Columbus, Ohio.Spike was at Ohio State to dedi¬cate a new student union building.It appears that a bullet hadpierced his head and the Columbuscoroner presumes this a case ofhomicide.Spike was a graduate of DenisonUniversity, Granville, Ohio. He re¬ceived his Bachelor of Divinityfrom the Colgate-Rochester Divini¬ty School and his Doctor of Educa¬tion from Columbia University-Union Theological Seminary.He came to the UC DivinitySchool in December, 1965. He pre¬viously served as director of theCommission on Religion and Raceof the National Council of Church¬es. He was former minister of Jud-son Memorial Church in GreenwichVillage, New York.Spike was 43 years old. A wifeand two children survive. Govt. Loses Its Free—.jAccess to Recordsby Susan LoewyGovernment officials will no longer have access to studenttranscripts without a student’s consent.In the past, government officials, upon presentation ofproper credentials, were allowed to see transcripts.ACCORDING TO Maxine Sulli-1van, registrar of the University,both federal and state representa¬tives have had access to such in¬formation. Generally, federal offi¬cials sought information concern¬ing the academic standing of stu¬dents applying for positions withthe federal government or of stu¬dents already employed by thegovernment who were interested intransferring to other governmentaldepartments. Transcripts werealso available to law enforcementofficials investigating students ac¬cused of crimes.“Until now, only the governmenthas had access to such informa¬tion, and this will put the govern¬ment in the same position as any¬one else,” said Dean of StudentsWarner A. Wick. Now only non-eonfidential information will be re¬vealed to government officials, ac¬cording to Wick. This would in¬clude a student's name and confir¬mation of registration.NO ASPECT of a student’sacademic record will be revealedwithout the student’s permissionsaid Wick. “With the student’s per-Murphy ApplicationDeadline Oct. 20Director of College Aid, RobertJ. Charles, has announced that thedeadline for filing applications forthe Murphy scholarships is October20.“The Murphy Scholarships aredesigned to help those students in¬volved in student activities freeingthem from term-time work nor¬mally expected of them,” Charlessaid. “The scholarships are givenon the basis of need, and the na¬ture and extent of the activity.”Applications may be obtained atthe Office of College Aid. “Thosestudents who have never submitteda Parent’-s Confidential Form mustdo so,” Charles added.Last year, about forty scholar¬ships were awarded. There werefifty to sixty applicants. mission we would release this in¬formation. This is in line with ourprevious policy,” he said.The student-faculty Fiske Com¬mittee is still discussing the Uni¬versity’s policy on class rankingand the draft. When debate is com¬pleted, recommendations will bemade to the administration.Haverford DecisionCriticized by WickAs Too 'Interfering'The announcement madelast week by Haverford Collegethat it would no longer rankstudents for the Selectiveservice envoked reactions of skep¬ticism from members of the UCadministration and faculty.Haverford had formed a classrank for the first time last year tocomply with the Selective ServiceSystem’s request for informationon students’ academic standing.Haverford discontinued ranking be¬cause of fears of students “side¬stepping courses” or outright“transferring to easier schools.”DEAN OF STUDENTS WarnerWick, while stating his disapprovalof the present draft system, butsaid of the Haverford decision.“You are interfering with studentswho want to take advantage of thepresent system even if you dis¬agree with the present system.”Wick indicated his desire to firstchange the system itself be¬fore making a binding Universitypolicy decision. “If we can’t,” hecommented, “we should then dowhat we can to get students defer¬ments.” He added, “We don’t haveany evidence that it is any morecorrupting than the present systemof applying for graduate school.”George Playe, dean of under¬graduate students, called the entireproblem of ranking a “sticky, mes¬sy affair.” Citing an unnamed uni¬versity which accepts governmenteducational opportunity grants for(Continued on Page Two)Level of College Teaching Knocked at Conferenceby David L. AikenNEW ORLEANS—The levelof teaching in colleges camein for some hard knocks lastweek, at the 49th annual con¬ference of the American Council onEducation (ACE) in New Orleans.Basic to all the discussion wasthe realization by most of the 1600college and university adminis¬trators at the meeting that theteaching function of college facultydeserves more attention than it hasbeen getting.William Arrowsmith, professor ofclassics at the University of Texasand author of a recent controversi¬al article entitled “The Shame ofthe Graduate Schools,’* opened theconference with a blistering but humorous barb aimed at his au¬dience.IN THE opening plenary sessionof the conference, Arrowsmith as¬serted, “Teaching is not honoredamong us. . . either because itsfunction is grossly misconceived orits cultural value not understood.The reason for this is the over¬whelming positivism of our techno¬cratic society and the echnical ar¬rogance of academic scholarship.”How to Restore Druids“As presently constituted, thecolleges and universities are as un¬congenial to teaching as the Mo¬jave Desert to a clutch of Druidpriests. If you want to restore aDruid priesthood, you cannot do itby offering prizes for Druid-of-the-year. If you want Druids, you must grow forest s,” Arrowsmithquipped.He asserted that the root of theproblem is that the current educa¬tional system does not produce“humanized” men, who have the“charisma” to exemplify the spiritof learning for his students.'TEACHING/' he charged,“has been fatally trivialized byscholarship which has becomemostly technical triviality. What, Ifind myself wondering, would edu¬cation be like if humanists andteachers had the courage of theirconvictions and traditions anddared to confront their students asmen in whom their studies andtexts found worthy, or at least at¬tempted. embodiment?”As a possible device to encour¬ age attention to teaching at univer¬sities, Arrowsmith suggested ap¬pointments to “university profes¬sorships.” The men holding suchu n i v e r s i t y-wide appointmentswould be assigned “all those tasksfor which the departments haveproven themselves inadequate orincompetent—the courses in gener¬al education, humanities, interdis¬ciplinary programs, supervision ofthe new teacher-oriented degree-programs, etc.—perhaps even theformal responsibility for evaluatingteaching. . . But its overall con¬cern w'ould be with teaching, andwith the training of teachers.”Conflicting LoyaltiesFrom an ensuing discussion ofthe strain between the “twoworlds” of the university—teaching and research—came agreement onat least one matter of fact. Statusin the eyes of a faculty member’scolleagues, as well as promotionby administrators, comes primari¬ly from one’s publications, and oth¬er evidence of research.According to a background paperfor the conference by Robert A.Nisbet, sociologist from the Uni¬versity of California at Riverside,the problem arises from the in¬discriminate willingness of toomany universities to undertake anyand all kinds of research. Manyproject involving complex equip¬ment and dozens of employeescould better be performed in non¬university settings, Nisbet wrote.IN RESPONSE to Nisbet’s pap-(Continued on Page Eight)1Editor Examines Norwegian StrengthsNorway Retains Vital Role“The reason the situation inNorway is as good as it istoday, is because of our mem¬bership in NATO/’ said TorolvKandahl, editor of Norway’slargest newspaper, Aftenposten,last Friday.Kandahl, speaking to a group ofabout thirty people on Norway’srole in world affairs, went on tosay that, “NATO has given us thestrength to say no when that wasthe only proper answer. And wecould say it with courage and dig¬nity thanks to our natural allies inthe West.”KANDAHL ALSO stressed theidea that Norway must continue tosupport NATO and the United Na¬tions at all costs because the suc¬cess of these two organizations isessential to Norway’s political andeconomic structure.Foreign TradeHe also noted that Norway'seconomy is based almost entirelyon foreign trade. In addition, he said, the countryhas no natural resources to speakof, and is almost entirely depend¬ent on imports. As a result, it hasdeveloped the world’s third largestmerchant marine, having over tenpercent of the world’s merchantmarine tonnage.BECAUSE OF the nature of theeconomy, Kendahl added, it hasbecome essential that Norway playa leading role in international af¬fairs. “The UN may very well bethe last best hope for peace onEarth, and we must strengthen oureffort to make it a more powerfulinternational force,” he said.“There are Norwegian soldiers inUN uniforms every place in theworld where the UN has troops,and there are Norwegians on everyUN inspection team. The countryis also doing its best to give theUN as much financial support as itcan.”Role in UN ImportantKandahl sees Norway’s role inthe UN as being an important one.“We are a small nation, and thesmall nations can play a large partin the UN because we have noaxes to grind, no interests to pro¬tect, and therefore we can becomeHenderson to HoldCrime DiscussionsMEb, MURINF Henderson House is sponsoring adiscussion series on “Crime inAmerican Life.” The next talk, to¬morrow night, will feature DavidStreet, assistant professor of so¬ciology, speaking on reformatoriesand prisons.All talks are in the fifth floor! lounge, Pierce Tower, 55th street| and University avenue.Other speakers in the series willinclude Fred Strodtbeck, associateprofessor in the departments of so¬ciology and psychology, on delin¬quent gangs, Norval Morris, pro¬fessor in the law school, on Ameri¬can criminal justice, and HarryKalven, professor in the lawschool, on the American jury.IXCUIStVE!free removable carryingt*tt!

Onlythree countries have more tradewith Norway than the U.S. Sweden,Great Britain, and West Germany,and Norway is trying to increaseits American trade as much as it Students Got HutchinsorMusic Dept. Is Crampedcan.Kandahl A ConservativeKandahl by his own admissionrepresents the conservative view¬point in his country. He is the chiefjournalist in the conservativemovement, and he was, at onetime, a conservative member ofthe Norwegian parliament. Heclaims, however, that the majorityof his countrymen share his views.He said that according to a polltaken in Norway, 60% were in fa¬vor of remaining in NATO, 8%were against, and 32% were unde¬cided.NORWAY, Kandahl pointed out,is very different from its neighbor,Sweden, in that it has basically acapitalist economy. "Norway is notwell suited for experiments in so¬cialism,” he said. “There is toomuch individualism in the people,and free enterprise is the heart of95% of the economy.”Last year’s elections in which asizable number of conservativeswere elected to Parliament showadditionally, he said, that the Nor¬wegians do not want socialism.“World War II and the cold warshow without question on whichside we belong,” he said. Too few practice rooms, norehearsal halls, and limited fa¬cilities are just some of theproblems plaguing UC’s musicdepartment as it returns to fibeprospect of continued existence inits old, converted house. This fol¬lows short lived plans of occupyingthe Hutchinson Commons-ReynoldsClub complex.COST OF fire proofing, combinedwith student opposition, prohibitedthe move. Leonard Myer, head ofthe music department, who termsthe present music situation “de¬plorable,” is being forced to basehis hopes for new quarters on theproposed art center which will notbe completed for another threeyears at best.Presently located on the south¬west corner of 58th street, the mu¬sic department service* approxi¬mately 55 majors, both graduateand undergraduate, with a total oftwo and a half class rooms, thehalf class room doubling as a prac¬tice room.GENERAL CLASSES for under¬graduates are often taught in Lex¬ington because of the lack ofspace.

How¬ever, he said, “I’m personallyhopeful that there will no longer beany request of individuals to sup¬ply their ranks to the SelectiveService System.”WITH REGARD to the Haver¬ford decision, Playe remarked: “Ifind it hard to believe that manypeople are actually transferringfrom Haverford just to avoid theSelective Service.” He thought thatmost Haverford students probablyscored above the 70 cut-off level onthe Selective Service test.Richard Flacks, assistant profes¬sor of sociology, commented: “IfHaverford can do it, it indicatesthat any school can do that.”But he added that he was notsure he would base the decisionsolely on what Haverford based it.He pointed out that such a decisioninvolves something more, whichwas indicated by last spring’s sit-in—“The involvement of the wholeUniversity in military affairs.”Flacks said he thought it impor¬tant for the entire campus to bewell informed on UC’s draft policyas well as the selective service pol¬icies of other colleges and universi¬ties. partment office and Myer ’s ofjLater this year a third siroom will be used as office-hiquarters for the concert series,though some 33,000 attendedversity concerts last year,year there is almost no place tohearse.

Today, a full 13 years later, I am still writingthis column, for my interest in undergraduates is as keenand lively as ever. This is called ‘‘arrested development!’But where else can a writer find a subject as fascinatingas the American campus? Where else are minds so nettled,bodies so roiled, psyches so unglued?Right now, for example, though the new school year hasjust begun, you’ve already encountered the following dis¬asters :1. You hate your teachers.2. You hate your courses.8. You hate your room-mates.4. You have no time to study.5. You have no place to study.Friends, let us, without despair, examine your problemsone by one.1. You hate your teachers. For shame, friends! Trylooking at things their way. Take your English teacher,for instance. Here’s a man who is one of the world’sauthorities on Robert Browning, yet he wears $30 tweedsand a pre-war necktie while his brother Sam, a high schooldropout, earns 70 thou a year in aluminum siding. Is it sohard to understand why he writes “F” on top of yourthemes and ‘‘Eeeyich!” in the margin? Instead of hatinghim, should you not admire his dedication to scholarship,his disdain for the blandishments of commerce? Of courseyou should. You may flunk, but Pippa passes.2. You hale your courses. You say, for example, thatyou don’t see the use of studying Macbeth when you aremajoring in veterinary medicine. You’re wrong, friends.Believe me, some day when you are running a busy kennel,you’ll be mighty glad you learned “Out, damned Spot!”3. You hale your room-mates. This is, unquestionably,a big problem-in fact, the second biggest problem onAmerican campuses. (The first biggest, of course, is onwhich side of your mortar board do you dangle the tasselat Commencement?) But there is an answer to the room¬mate problem: keep changing room-mates. The optimuminterval, I have found, is every four hours.4. You have no lime to study. Friends, I’m glad to re¬port there is a simple way to find extra time in your busyschedule. All you have to do is buy some Personna SuperStainless Steel Blades. Then you won’t be wasting pre¬cious hours hacking away with inferior blades, manglingyour face again and again in a tedious, feckless effort towinnow your whiskers. Personna shaves you quickly andslickly, easily and breezily, hacklessly, scrapelessly, tug-lessly, nicklessly, scratchlessly, matchlessly. Furthermore,Personna Blades last and last. Moreover, they are avail¬able both in double-edge and Injector style. And, as if thisweren’t enough, Personna is now offering you a chance tograb a fistful of $100 bills. The Personna Super StainlessSteel Sweepstakes is off and running! You can win $10,000and even more. Get over to your Personna dealer for de¬tails and an entry blank. Don’t just stand there!5. You have no place to study. This is a thorny one, I’lladmit, what with the library so jammed and the dorms sonoisy. But with a little ingenuity, you can still find a quiet,deserted spot—like the ticket office of the lacrosse team.Or a testimonial dinner for the dean. Or the nearest re¬cruiting station.You see, friends? When you’ve got a problem, don’t lieQuit. Attack!

A transcript is personal enough that only thestudent involved should decide who sees it.It's true that in the majority of cases, it does no harm to al¬low a government investigator to do a little double-checking.It should be kept in mind, however, that the possibilities for astudent’s transcript being used to his disadvantage are veryreal. An example from this summer may be illustrative.When two Maroon editors were arrested in Cicero for “disor¬derly conduct” they were amazed to find that the Cicero Po¬lice were already familiar with their writing. Files of articlesthey had written were thrown back at them and totally mis¬understood by the police who proceeded to arrest the pair.There is obviously not a perfect correlation between the un¬fair use of published articles and the unfair use of the contentsof personal transcripts, but the incident in Cicero gives causefor some thought on the possibilities for official misuse of eventhe mildest and most inconsequential information.We live, sadly, in a dossier collecting society, where a signa¬ture on a petition, participation in a demonstration, or mem¬bership in a club or society may have consequences for an in¬dividual years after he has forgotten about the specific inci¬dent.The University’s action, besides protecting students fromthe misuse of their records, also involves taking a positionagainst the kind of society we are in danger of becoming.The University has made a wise decision, both in terms ofbenefiting and protecting its students and in terms of refusingto cooperate with the kind of society that imposes restraintthrough intimidation.David SatterWSO in Financial PinchWSO, a grass roots communityorganization on the Near WestSide, is in financial trouble andwill throw two benefits tonight andtomorrow night in an attempt toraise money.The West Side Organization(WSO) was formed in Septemberof 1964 as a welfare union andcontinues today to devote much ofits attention to complains from re¬lief recipients.IN ITS TWO YEARS of existenceWSO has become an intermediary,taking the complaints of people onwelfare to the offices of the CookCounty Department of Public Aidand following up those complaintsuntil restitution is made. SinceSeptember, 1964 over 2,000 suchcomplaints have been successfullyprocessed.The work of WSO is importantfor a number of reasons beyondthe immediate benefit accruing tothe welfare recipient whose checkhas been unjustly cut or lost in themail. WSO forms a bridge, actual¬ly, the only bridge, between thosewho dispense public aid and thosewhose survival depends on it.Anyone who knows anything atall about the slums of Chicagoknows that welfare recipients holdthe key to “ending the slums.”They are the lowest strata educa¬tionally, socially, and by all othercriteria we have for measuringpeople’s ability to cope with urbanlife. They’ve been called the un-reachables and the work WSO isdoing amounts to reaching the un¬reachable.BECAUSE WELFARE recipientson the Near West Side have WSO,they can claim to be a legitimatepart of the system of public aid.They have, after all, a representa¬tive of their interests which willnot brook the arbitrary abuses of• the too sizable minority of publicaid caseworkers who are out ofsympathy with the needs of lowerclass recipients.WSO performs a valuable inte-£r0vp, $unqt*Qn. Ip the first placq,it involves people in the bureauara-tic machinery whose functioning is,for them, literally a matter of lifeand death. WSO also gives NearWest Side relief recipients a sense of power and it does so by operat¬ing strictly within the letter of thelaw.WSO explains to recipients thelaws under which Cook Countypublic aid operates. A womanapplying for aid for the first timemay have no idea what her rightsare and certainly is no match for acaseworker inclined to tell her shedoesn’t qualify for aid. Obviously,a recipient who knows her rights isfar more difficult to abuse.Because it forces caseworkers totake into consideration the possibil¬ity of a documented complaint,WSO succeeds in preventing someabuses before they happen. WSO,at the same time, helps relief re¬cipients to be honest with theircaseworkers. In the past, recipientswere so confused about what theyhad to and didn’t have to fear thatthey would lie to their caseworkersabout almost anything.A FINAL THING that WSO hasdone for the Near West Side, hasbeen to give the area some kind ofidentity as a community. WhenStokely Carmichael talks aboutBlack Power he’s really talkingabout the kind of thing that organi¬zations like WSO are working forwithin their communities. BlackPower means a sense of identityand pride, that only can comefrom men who are in control oftheir future and community. Akind of control, incidentally, which,given the social situation on theNear West Side, may be a longtime in coming.Organizations like WSO makemistakes. Sometimes they’re toomilitant or not militant enough.Sometimes they do things unstrate-gically or without thinking. Almostalways, they tend to oversimplifythe problems of the slums. But thepeople who are doing the leadingand making the mistakes are Ne¬groes and Near West Siders andthey are the best hope for the com¬munity pulling itself up by its boot¬straps. , , :For anyone interested, the bene¬fit for WSO will be held at the Sen¬ate Theatre, 3128 W. Madison. Ad¬mission is $2.50 and the show be¬gins at 6 pm. Jeffrey KutaSAR Must Have Moderates’ SupportIn view of the developments atHaverford College and HarvardUniversity last week, a casual ob¬server might expect this year’sStudents Against the Rank (SAR)movement to catch the spark ofconstructive action, to thrive on acombination of mass student con¬cern and administrative reassess¬ment, and to culminate soon in adecision not to rank. It may verywell not.AN EXAMINATION of the Hav¬erford decision shows a markedabsence of political motivation.The formulation of class ranks wasended simply because the college,as its vice president Burt Wallaceput it, “feared the system wasforcing students to sidestep coursesor transfer to easier schools.” Stu¬dents did not exert considerablepressure—of the type employedduring last spring’s sit-in at theAdministration building — onceHaverford had decided to supplyclass ranks to the Selective Serv¬ice; nor did they have a part in thedecision to discontinue this policy.Right or wrong, they left the busi¬ness to the administrators.In Harvard’s case, the majorityof undergraduates whr respondedto a poll indicated that they wereopposed to the Selective Servicerequiring their university to sub¬mit class ranks. Although the ques¬tion was worded such that studentswho answered “yes” showed objec¬tion only to the mandatory formu¬lation of ranks, a large percentageof undergrads no doubt would have indicated opposition to ranking un¬der any rationale; for like Haver¬ford, Chicago, and most other in¬stitutions, Harvard had not rankedstudents prior to the 1965-66 aca¬demic year. Here the question waspolitical, if only in the sense thatthe issue of cooperation with thedraft was involved. Yet the pollshowed the attitude of its respond¬ents to be unmistakably to the po¬litical right of wbat a similar pollwould show for respondents here.It is highly doubtful whether 70percent of any random sampling ofundergrads here would indicate op¬position to a lottery system.WITH CHICAGO students ap¬parently more • concerned thantheir Haverford counterparts, andmore politically liberal than under-grads at Harvard, the casual ob¬server might ask how the SARmovement possibly could not gath¬er momentum enough to persuadeadministrators here to restorewhat they might call independenceand academic integrity. At least,the observer might insist, SARwould accumulate enough anti¬rank petitions to materialize oppo¬sition of greater magnitude thanlast year’s.Part of the answer to the observ¬er's question lies in the “silentvote,” including the right wing—those quiet, studious people whoreact negatively towards any pro¬posed change in the status quowhich would endanger their wellbeing, academic or otherwise. Butmore important, the answer lies in the large percentage of students onthis campus who might be calledmoderate liberals. Willing to lakean active, liberal position on mostissues, they have been confusedand frightened into silence on theranking question by the actions ofthe. sit-in protestors last springBesides refusing to condone theiractions, these students cannot ac¬cept their subsequent condemna¬tion of the war in Vietnam. Chica¬go’s moderate liberals may be aswilling to voice opposition to therank, for either academic or politi¬cal reasons, as the Haverford ad-tninistrators who discontinued it orthe Harvard students who respond¬ed negatively in the poll; yet theyshun the slightest association withSAR—and its aims, many of whichare their own—because of the radi¬cal position it seems to, and to alarge extent does, embrace.TOP OFFICIALS here have in¬dicated that a change in Universityranking policy is a possibility. Theadministration might indeed cometo a reassessment of policy underno pressure whatsoever from stu¬dents. It might even decide to dis¬continue class ranks after a minor¬ity of undergrads have again occu¬pied their office building in protest,cc^—ittces. If, however, discon¬tent with ranking can be materialized from the majority of the Col¬lege, of necessity including themoderate liberals, the change inpolicy which now seems inevita¬ble but distant might come a lotquicker.mm® fmmmmmMm mm dzmmmmm* ■- m ■ ■fy-Letters to the Editor< * ■■ -*;■Haverford Comment Frederick WroblewskiTO THE EDITOR:As a recent graduate of Haver¬ford College, I share your approvalof Haverford’s new policy regard¬ing the draft. However, I must ob¬ject to your editorial for conclu¬sions obviously based on a lack ofknowledge of conditions at Haver¬ford.Your claims that the decision notto supply class ranking to the Se¬lective Service System was unexpected, made by the administra¬tion alone and not the students,and that Haverford’s adminis¬trators and students probably fa¬vor the war in Viet Nam and thepresent system of conscriptionmore than their UC counterparts,are unfounded.Through pressure by studentsand faculty last spring, Haver¬ford’s administration decided notto provide class standing informa¬tion to the draft system except atthe request of individual students.Upon further agitation, the facultyappointed a committee to considerabolition of class ranking. Studentsat Haverford are members of al¬most all faculty committees andwould have served on this one ex¬cept that it met during the sum¬mer when students are not oncampus. The recently announceddecision on class standing undoubt¬edly represents the conclusion ofthat faculty committee.As a Quaker institution, Haver¬ford is not likely to favor the warin Viet Nam. Its student newspa¬per strongly condemned U. S. in¬volvement in Southeast Asia inseveral editorials last year. A ma¬jority of the Students’ Councilthehe also condemned the war, act¬ing as individuals but not as abody. The campus has been a cen¬ter for anti war activity in thePhiladelphia area.Haverfords’ decision may havesome selfish motivations as yousuggest, but primarily it rep¬resents a decision that the draftshould not be related to the aca¬demic process.ALAN RAPHAEL (Note: The writer of the followingletter, Paul Tomase'lo, is a fine actor,whose work has consistently impress¬ed me. The subject of this letter,h rede rick Wroblewski, is a fine di¬rector whose work / have seen sinceI started reviewing for the Maroona year ago. The unfair treatmentwhich Wroblewski has received isdeplorable not only because it is un¬fair, but because it deprives Chicagoof a good source of theatrical enter¬tainment, something we cannot af¬ford. / hope that enough students aresufficiently angered to come up tothe Maroon business office on thethird floor of Ida Noyes to sign apetition in favor of Wroblewskis re¬instatement in his old position.—Mark Rosin)TO THE EDITOR:If you University of Chicago stu¬dents are truly conscious of ourAmerican heritage, of the great¬ness of democracy and have hopesto preserve it, then you must fightnepotism, for it weakens a man, acity and a nation. If you can standby and allow any one man’s workto be ignored or destroyed, thenyou can have little hope for yourfuture.On the surface, it may seem in¬ significant that Frederick Wroblewski, a Drama Instructor for thePark District of Chicago, wastransferred from Lincoln ParkTheater. But it is an indicationthat slowly “the powers that be”are less and less interested in aman’s integrity and proven skillthan they are in “yes men” who’ssatisfied with mediocrity.Briefly, the story is this:Because of minor differences ofopinion, a man and his immediatesupervisor had words—FrederickWroblewski thinks that EugeneO’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh is agreat play, his “boss lady” said itwas a “dirty play.” One word ledto another and then politics play¬ed dirty and now in the middle ofa production we have lost thefinest director of amateurs thatthe Park District has ever had!And all his reputation, the facili¬ties he built, the following hisgroup of actors had, has beentaken over by those who covetedhis work. If we let this happenwithout lifting a hand of protest,we can expect little assurance thatour creative endeavors will beours for long!

Art History. Univ. of Chi¬cago, 1942; MFA, Art Institute,1950), paints people in varied as¬pects for the Human Conditionfrom birth to battle. Their visualenergy is compacted within thegray hulks of antiquity cr revealedin pulses of visceral color that be¬come luminous from the very actof looking at the painting—as if en¬ergy particles emanating from theobserver’s eye strike upon the in-BOB NELSON MOTORSImport Centro visible forces of two figures iumortal combat. The image con¬stantly renews itself, drawing itssustaining force from the specta¬tor. In “Combat XI” (#15), thestruggling figures are solid yettransparent. They are immersed inan ether of earth tones sweepinghorizontally across the painting.Like the instantaneous vision of ascene caught by a constantly pan¬ning movie camera, they are fixedin a flow of time.The “Seated Youth” (#1), set¬tling into a contemplative repose,exists in a lower state of animationthan “Combat XI.” Instead of hisform being revealed by the fluor¬escent impact of light, the youth i6a creature of coagulated fibers inthe process of solidifying into atimeless gray monolith. He watches—he is contained—he pulses withblood-red flakes of color that warnof a tremendous explosive poten¬tial. Yet he is reclining, like theParthenon’s Theseus, and his ener¬gy is steadily waning—color andintensity are relentlessly diminish¬ing in a half-life process that willfade him to the figure of a lifeless IOzymandius. Golub's images are not entirelybased upon the inevitable patternsof man’s existence. The monumen¬tal “Blue Head” (#11), is a glori¬ous study in wonder. It is immenseand expansive—generating itself ina field of blue—looming larger andlarger, attaining the breathtakingscale of an Olympian figure mak¬ing his way through the sky. Thehead is neither defiant nor forebod¬ing. It is wondrous.These three pieces alone makethe exhibit an outstanding experi¬ence. But there are more, someelusive, some exhilarating, thatshould not be missed. Because thepaintings demand contemplationand cannot be instantly “solved”,their evocative imagery becomesdeep and memorable. From thesecond floor balcony of the Center,Rodin’s “Thinker” directs hisbrooding gaze down at the figuresin “Combat XI”, gently compellingthem to continue their fierce per¬formance even during the desertedhours of the morning.

Thisshow—a make-up for the cancelledMonday performance—was worthwaiting for. It is true that Vickerswas not in top form vocally; in¬deed, his voice cracked andgrowled in the lower registers. Butwhile we missed the musical bril¬liance of yesteryear’s Fidelio, welost nothing of Vickers’ superb act¬ing and stage presence. He is im¬pressively masterful in his first actaria “Abasse le spada,” pathetic inhis third act fits of anger and des¬pair, finally ascending to whateverheights musical tragedy can reachin the last scene. Vickers’ methodsare not subtle, but Otello is not adeep character; he is magnificentbecause he understands how tocommunicate—as few singing ac¬tors do—the clean, hard lines ofthe characterization and its dra¬matic motion.Subtlety however, is needed forthe role of lago, and the Lyric wasfortunate enough to have among itsregulars a baritone who is perhapsthe leading exponent of that role;Tito Gobbi. On phonograph recordsGobbi is much less impressivethan in the flesh, for while theyears have taken their toll of hisvoice, they have added depth to hisabilities as an actor.

Bel¬low's speech, like that of WrightMorris, novelist and conferenceparticipant, was descriptive ratherthan analytical, highly critical ofcontemporary conditions, humor¬ous, poignant, and pleading.Speaking to the distinguishedartists and critics assembled for aweek of discussion about the artsjn America, Bellow concluded byasking: Where is the depth of life?Ours is the task of answering thisquestion or determining whether ornot it is a valid question at all.Nothing should stop us from gath¬ering evidence for this task.BELLOW, SOMEWHAT auto¬biographically, compared the placeof the artist in contemporary socie¬ty with his place several decadesago. When Coolidge had said thatthe business of America was busi¬ness, industry, the young writercould wonder: How can I say I amgoing to write? The artist felt for¬eign, so he went abroad. Today, artand literature are acceptable—theycan be profitable. Parents no long¬er eringe from horror at the ideathat their son has decided to be anartist. The common man has evenadopted some Bohemian traits.But, Bellow emphasized, eventhough it is easier to become awriter today, it is harder to be one.Until about a generation ago,young writers from all over Ameri¬ca could go to New York to be atthe center of American art. Today, New York 1* still a center—thecenter of the literary (and artistic)business: magazines struggling forsurvival, publishers who must getmaterial in order to publish profit¬ably—firms with immense ac¬counting and billing departments.Bellow asked: What has this to dowith significant American litera¬ture?Bellow claims that the idea ofthe art life is, today, more attrac¬tive than the idea of perfecting thecraft. Even more depressing is thefact that he sees good reason forthis appeal. Good art, Bellow said,is threatened by television andsnotty college professors and along list of others.BESIDES, THE public approvesof people leading the art life—itneeds positions filled. Society doesnot read poetry, but it needs poet¬ry; it needs posiitons filled. But inliving the art life, in trying to le¬gitimize the charm of art life with¬out literature, it can only be fake.Enchanted with the art of life orthe literary business, the youngman can go to New York. Butwhere is the center of literature?Bellow said that the universities have become the Paris of Heming¬way: Gertrude Stein is gone andthe glamor is gone, but Paris, too,is no longer Paris.According to Bellow, the univer¬sity gives writers asylum, but thewriters are uncomfortable there.The university has newly gainedgreat powers of which writers haveonly dim realizations. They havenot yet discovered the intellectuallife of the university, and this is atleast partially because the univer¬sity does not have a unified intel¬lectual life. The only tie which Bel¬low notices between the Englishdepartments and the sciences isthat of psychoanalysis and, hepoints out, much of psychoanalytictheory was taken from literarysources, anyway.BELLOW CONDEMNED the lit¬erary quarterlies, now also underthe wing of the universities, fortheir role in making the writer apart of the literary side show.These literary magazines have be¬come attitude and style sources fortheir readers. He said that thequarterlies are to graduate stu¬dents what Vogue is to stenogra¬phers.CLASS RINGSWe are pleased to announce a new University of Chicago classring designed for you by the John Roberts Company.Urged by your many requests for a school ring bearing your yearof graduation and symbol of degree, we began negotiations inDecember of 1965.

The maga¬zines are unwilling to accept great¬ness; they are wont to think a newgreat writer pushy. They matchwriter against writer to destroyeach other. Novelists and poets aremade into gladiators for the sakeof spectacle. The universities havesupported pedanticism and inter¬est, yet, paradoxically, they nowhouse the artist and those whotransform him into a fighter.Bellow described today’s univer¬sity professors as Beckett profes¬sors, Dylan Thomas professorsand, even, Norman Mailer profes¬sors. He said that they give lifestyles to one public as movies doto a less sensitive public. Bellownoticed with regret that it is thisneed for life style, attitudes anddescription of self which promptsthe modern audience to read.TODAY'S READERS, accordingto Bellow, want information to bereal information. Specialists mustmove quickly to keep their public. Some writers argue that informa¬tion is today’s only real Muse.What, Bellow wonders, egn thewriter offer the modem public?Bellow claimed that most writersare steadfastly in the curing ofsouls. Today, however, the curingof souls is largely attitude teach¬ing. The writer can offer the sexadvice and other useful, minorforms of information. Modernreaders find it difficult to believein enchantment, to believe that thewriter can enchant. They take in¬formation instead. The artist is notonly unaccustomed to his new sur¬roundings, but he is unsure of hisrole.It is this confusion which Bellowmakes a plea to dispel; it is die fu¬ture of art in America that is atthe center of his speech and at thecenter of “The Arts and the Publie” conference. The humor in bothSaul Bellow’s and Wright Mor¬ris’s speeches does not obscuretheir serious fears about the futureof fiction in our society.Mark RosinIf your Chicago Maroon is fading fo blue.And you want fo know what you can do—Enter our contest and win a trip for two.At Miami Beach you'll bloom like a peachAnd miss a few classes too!WIN A WEEK FOR TWOIN MIAMI BEACHYOU'LL FLY AN EASTERN AIR LINES NON-STOPWHISPERJET TO MIAMI BEACHEnjoy a luxurious week in an ocean front hotel(meals included) No purchase necessaryDRAWING SATURDAY, OCT. 29Enter as often as you like at your friendly shopping center.AMERICAN RADIO & HYDE PARK CAR WASHTELEVISION LABORATORY 1330 E. 53rd St,ANDERSON HARDWAREBRESLAUEITSDEPARTMENT STOREKIMBARKLAUNDERETTE-CLEANERSMR. 6.

For thefirst time in the history of masseducation, it has been made possi¬ble by the computer to give indivi¬dual attention to the individual stu¬dent.”He also emphasized that the useof computers was most importanton the high school and elementaryschool levels. Once a human beingreaches a certain age, his capacityfor learning ceases to grow. There¬fore, he said, it is imperative thathuman beings experience as muchas possible when they are young.
