Chicago Maroon75th Anniversary YearVol. 75 No. 17 The University of Chicago Friday, October 28, 1966New School Plan SetsOff HPHS Debate AnewControversy is again arising around the high schools serv¬ing Hyde Park and Woodlawn.As a result of a decline in the number of children in Wood-lawn schools, including Hyde Park High School, the Chicagopublic school administration hasasked the school board for permis¬sion to reduce the planned size of anew high school, to be built at 50thstreet and Kenwood Avenue.UNDER THE administration’splan, the proposed new buildingwould accomodate only 1850 stu¬dents, rather than the originallyplanned 2500. The plan was origi¬nally proposed by Curtis Melnick,superintendent of District 14, whichserves both Hyde Park and Wood-lawn. An existing building at theKenwood site serves around 300ninth graders.At Wednesday’s board of educa¬tion meeting, the administrationproposal was referred back to Su¬perintendent James Redmond’sstaff for further study.The proposal immediatelytouched off reactions from severalneighborhood groups which hadfought the idea of building the newKenwood high school in the firstplace. A heated battle betweensome Hyde Park groups, whichwanted a new separate school, anda coalition of Woodlawn and HydePark community groups, organizedinto the “Unity Organization,” wasfought Last year. It ended in Janu¬ary when the board of educationvoted to build the separate school.REDMOND ANNOUNCED theadministration’s plan to reduce thesize of the new school Monday. Thenext day, the Hyde Park HighSchool PTA president, Mrs. MarieBuchanan, released a statementa-sking that the board reconsiderthe original decision to build theseparate school.The statement pointed out thatthe “unhappy prediction” of oppo¬nents of the separate school hadbeen borne out—that the presentHyde Park High School would “suf¬fer irreparable damage” if the sep¬arate school were built.Called a "Crime"“With funds for new schools insuch short supply,” the PTA state¬ment read, “it is a crime againstall of Chicago’s children to spendmoney in a restrictive and non¬productive manner for relativelyfew students in Kenwood, when itcan be used far more constructive¬ly- . .for all of the children of Dis¬trict 14, by converting, improving and expanding the present HydePark High School into an educationpark.”THE UNITY Organization, whichopposed the separate school, hadproposed that an “educationalpark” be constructed around thepresent Hyde Park High Schoolbuilding. The “park” would consistof four semi-autonomous branchesof the school, each with its ownfaculty and students, sharing com¬mon facilities.The executive committee of theUnity Organization, with represent¬atives from every school, church,(Continued on Page Four) College Council OK's ShorterLiberal Arts Conference For Feb.by Roger BlackAfter long discussion, theCollege Council unanimouslyapproved plans Tuesday foranother Liberal Arts Confer¬ence (LAC), this one four or fivedays long, to be held during thesecond week of February, 1967.The first conference, which washeld last February and focused onthe topic “What Knowledge is MostWorth Having,” generated muchinterest in making conference anannual event. Several faculty mem¬bers, however, pressured for ashorter second LAC because ofwhat they called interruptions oftheir class schedules.THE RESULT IS a program be¬ginning Wednesday, February 8,and ending the following Saturdayor Sunday.According to Dean of the CollegeWayns C. Booth, who was the chieforganizer of last year’s conference, lLAC ’67 will be narrower in scopethan the ’66 version. central concepts, problems and is¬sues in each academic discipline.Much of the discussion this Feb¬ruary will concern the relation¬ship of specific knowledge in onefield to related fields. One questionthat will be posed, for instance, is“How does mathematics relate tothe physical sciences?”Booth, who strongly supportedthe plan for a shortened form thisyear, was enthusiastic over theprospect of a second conference."THE LIBERAL ARTS Confer¬ence last year was one of the mostrewarding experiences I have hadas Dean,” he said. “I hope thisyear’s can match it.”’ The structure of LAC ’67 will bemuch the same as last year’s. Mostof the inquiry will take place inseminars, which, according toBooth, worked successfully lastyear.The established form is to holdCollege Dean Wayne C. BoothWith broader questions of worth-1 several simultaneous panel discus-while knowledge presumably hav¬ing been answered last year, thisHum. Div. Rejects Anti-Rank ResolutionIn a closed meeting lastMonday, the graduate Human¬ities division voted down thePhilosophy Department’s re¬solution opposing the University’spolicy of submitting male classranks to draft boards.THE RESOLUTION, which hadbeen passed almost unanimouslyby the Philosophy Department lastweek, wa-s defeated by a vote of29-15 with 10 abstentions by mem¬bers of the Humanities division.The graduate Social Science divi¬ sion met last Friday to discuss theissue of ranking, but no vote wastaken. Eleven of the faculty mem¬bers spoke on the issue—five in fa¬vor of ranking, five against, andone whose position was ambiguous.ALTHOUGH THE Social Sciencedivision meeting was closed, agroup of students observed the pro¬ceedings from the window of SocialScience 122 where the meeting wasbeing held.One of the unofficial student ob¬servers, Jeffrey Blum, a third-yearstudent in the Collge, said that no¬body asked them to leave.Stevenson Scores State Covt.Adlai Stevenson III called for an immediate overhaul ofstate government—of the Illinois legislature in particular—Tuesday night at Ida Noyes Hall.“We have to improve the quality of state government andmake it serve the needs of thepeople or it will die,” he warned.STEVENSON, who is currentlyrunning for Illinois treasurer, as¬serted that the situation in IllinoisThe Divinity School willhonor the memory of RobertW.

Hecalled the Illinois legislature hope¬lessly inefficient and claimed it de¬pends on lobbyists and economicinterest groups for its motivation.He quoted his father, Illinois gov¬ernor from 1949 to 1952, as saying,“Cleanliness is next to godlinessexcept in the Illinois legislature,where it’s next to impossible.”Stevenson did not present a defi¬nite plan for improving state gov¬ ernment, but called for a renova¬tion and streamlining of metropoli¬tan and local governments.Unless this is done, he main¬tained, state government will be¬come incapable of dealing with itsproblems and they will be forcedon the federal government.He cited a “gap” which he saidalready exists between the capaci¬ties of the Illinois state governmentand the demands of the people.IN REPLY TO a question, Stev¬enson called the Chicago’s politi¬cal machine a “tremendous forcefor good government,” on thewhole. sions among faculty, students, andguest participants and then ask forquestions from the audience.Fiery DialogueAccording to Booth, these semi¬nars are where the most controver¬sial statements and fiery dialoguetake place.One thing about the conferencethat will be changed are the stu¬dent-faculty dinners. Student Gov¬ernment will sponsor more of themthis year.There will also be a few publiclectures given by some of the mostprominent participants.PLANNING the conference arefaculty-student committees nowbeing set up in each of the collegedivisions.

A spot check of students andfaculty members who have shown an interest in civil rights led to a variety of opinions onwhy “The Movement” has declined or even on whether it has declined at all."THE SITUATION is far morecomplicated than it used to be,”according to Richard Flacks, anassistant professor of sociologywho has long been active in civilrights. “Students don’t know whatto do now that the civil rightsmovement no longer needs theirbodies.

The year before there was acase of a student who had alreadywithdrawn. Three years ago duringthe summer a student and her boy-THECOLLEGEFOOTBALLSWINDLETo most students football isjust a game.

Almost sixty percent ofthis year’s entering class will leaveschool, the majority for financial oremotional reasons, not for lack ofintellectual capability."Emotional Dilemmas"Dr. Richard H. Moy, director ofthe University Health Servicemaintains that the problems of themajority of UC drop-outs involveemotional dilemmas which thoughnot always primary, usually ac¬company the initial college experi¬ence.Moderator defines “studentstress” in terms of the difficult ad¬justment to an increased amount ofindependence in late adolescenceand compounded by the “problemsunseen by the young and routinefor the adult. . .devastatingly acuteto one frantically constructing anidentity.”George Playe, dean of under¬Koga Gift Shop^istinctiva Gift Items From ThoOrient and Around Tho World1462 E. 53rd St.Chicago 15, III.MU 4-6856 graduate students, said the ques¬tion of stress in an educational ca¬reer was a “wooly subject.”“There are no experts. No matterhow we gather the data there aretoo many areas of innaccuracy. Ingeneral my observation is that asour society becomes less and lessstructured the very young individu¬al gets into stressful situations be¬cause there are no anchors forhim.”Assistant Dean of Student-s,James Newman, defines studentstress as “that stress inherent inthe transition from home and highschool to college.” The student hasmoved away from his sources ofgetting emotional support, such ashis family, high school teacher,friends, dog. “He is very vulnera¬ble,” says Newman, “when facedwith a whole new pattern of life,the need to make friendsquickly. . .Growth is uncomforta¬ble. He faces the stress of feelingsof futility.”MOY ADDS that the typical UCstudent comes from a stable mid¬dle class or upper middle classhome. He has been highly motivat¬ed by his high school success andthe high expectations of his teach¬ers, parents, and advisors. “Anystudent worth his salt will be strip¬ped bare of his barnacles,” saidPOSTON SALE NOW GOURMET CHEKSSpecial offer to University of Chicagostudents, faculty and employees.The original Gowrmat Clicks for only$6.00Cultural events, restaurants andtheatres at two for the price otf one.Complete information in the Gour¬met Chek books now being handledat the gift counter.The University of ChicagoBookstore5802 Ellis Ave. PHOTOGRAPHYPlace your order now for Christ¬mas cards in color and Blackand white.Check the sales items on ourPhoto counter at:The University of ChicagoBookstore5802 Ellis Ave. Moy, “and he will have to find outwhat he’s all about. For somethreatened to find themselves intheir sophomore or junior year,and without motivation, there is aprofound sense of fatigue. Theybegin experimenting with unusualforms of behavior. Going beat,drugs, dangerous ideas. But theseare entirely useful functions. Moststudents come out with meaningfulmotivation. During this stressfulperiod we don’t spoonfeed them orguide them through the quagmiresof indecision. We don’t plan alltheir fun and games, but rathergive them an opportunity to makemistakes. The prognosis isgood. . .It’s a good thing for stu¬dents to think dangerous thoughts.I went through this period and en¬joyed it.”Positive StressMoy said he believes in the posi¬tive aspect of stress in the universi¬ty society. “I feel very sorry forstudents who go through theirhumdrum lives never experiencingstress. If it weren’t for stress we’dstill be amoebas. Stress only be¬comes a problem when it’s inap¬propriate or excessive. This varieswith the student. Just coming tothe university is stressful for somebut no problem to others. . .1 cer¬tainly can’t conceive of UC becom¬ing a stressless place. It would bedead. . .any university which de¬votes an effort to the maximum re¬ duction of stress i« spiting itself.”The Moderator article went on tostate that the quality of undergrad¬uate education may be an impor¬tant factor in reducing the studentstress that will figure in this year’scampus suicides. The Moderatorarticle said that one test of a goodeducation is relevance.“Relevance to the world of poli¬ties and social ferment, relevanceto the human condition in a masssociety, relevance to the doubts,fears and hopes of thoughtfulyouth.” Moderator tried to es¬tablish that relevance is preventedby excessive bureaucracy, thegrade race, the inferior status ofthe student in universitydecision-making and student fac¬ulty relationships.When asked whether bureacracyhere might be a cause for studentstress, Dean Wick replied, “That’spure baloney. The thing about thisUniversity that is hardest for stu¬dents is that they are in a terriblyfrighteningly unstructured societywhere there are no clear signals ofwhat is expected of you.”PLAYE SAID that, “It is becausewe don't have bureaucracy thatwe see these manifestations ofstress. . The students here eventu¬ally realizes that he has committedan intellectual act of faith. Hecomes here for something not verywell defined for or by him.”Committee on Student-Faculty RelationsListens to Students' Views at Meeting“Right now, we are justtrying to listen,” said RobertG. Page, chairman of the fa¬culty-student committee on fa¬culty - student relations. Speak¬ing Wednesday at the committee’sfirst open meeting, Page emphas¬ized that for the time, the commit¬tee would simply try to defineproblems by first hearing as manystudent gripes and suggestions aspossible.Attending were nine of the tencommittee members, and about ten•students.A FEW OF THE students attend¬ing the meeting had carefully plan¬ned ideas to present. One suggestedthat the University, before itmakes a controversial decision, ex¬plain the issue in a letter to theMaroon and invite discussion.Another proposed a program of | more diffuse meetings like this onebefore we can set up topics,” saidPage. “There will be many moreopen meetings,” he added.a significant University policy.Each faculty guest would be re¬quired to write an essay in the Ma¬roon defining the problem on whichhe was to answer questions. Bothagreed that the University shouldseek discussion of issues, ratherthan mitigation of student discon¬tent after a decision had beenmade.COMPLAINTS RANGED fromthe diabolical cleverness of the ad¬ministration, to the Lutheran Semi¬nary’s demolition of student apart¬ments, to the rank, to the selectionof students for committees “I seethe -same old names. . .”), and tothe lack of money for WUCB.

John Fryeof the First Presbyterian Churchin Woodlawn.SPEAKING to a group of Uni¬versity High School students yes¬terday, Frye said that the Rangersare merely a part of the BlackPower movement and are a nor¬ mal reaction to the hardships oflife for the Negro urban poor.According to Frye, The Rangershave evolved from a typical violentstreet gang to a major power forceand now represent a potential po¬litical force. They are youthful andidealistic he contends, and are nowtrying to persuade Woodlawn vot¬ers to register.The Rangers, noted Frye, feelthat Marshall Korshak and LeonDespres have not done enough tosolve Woodlawn’s problems. Conse¬quently, the Rangers now want toget their own kind into office as fifth ward committeeman and ald¬erman.In answer to questions aboutRanger extortion, Frye said thatthe Rangers were not to blame for60% of it. The real culprits he feelsare auxiliary or rival gangs likethe Disciples who are poorly or¬ganized and less disciplined.Frye expressed optimism aboutthe future of the Rangers. He feelsthat they are presently the best or¬ganized and most influential groupin Woodlawn, and hopes that theirfuture policies will be accepted bythe Woodlawn community.21st ANNUAL LUTHERAN REFORMATION OBSERVANCEat Rockefeller Memorial ChapelUniversity of Chicago5#h Street at WoodlawnA-SUNDAY • OCTOBER 30 • 7:30 P.M.A Dialogue on"THE REFORMATION OF THE CITY"SPEAKERS: Mr. l.on D«,p,.(, AM.im.lt of tfc.

He is forced, instead, to relate tothings only in such a manner ashis role permits. His value is asthe filler of a position, not as anindividual.Nature of DevelopmentMcNeill voiced confidence thatthere is a sufficiently swift transla¬tion of intellectual advances intopractical policies, citing the effectwhich the recent work of JohnMaynard Keynes has had on theeconomic planning of a large por¬tion of the world.He asserted that we will nevercompletely understand the natureof social development, and warnedthat if such an understanding wereobtained it could lead to manipula¬tion of the masses by those pos¬sessing the key,A QUESTION which defied reso¬lution was whether trends towardmore rigid specialization in jobsand in social functions harm theindividual identity if men come torelate to one another not as humancreatures with souls, but merely asrepresentatives of certain socialcomponents.There was doubt whether societyis entering a period of greater orlesser routinization of relationshipsand whether it is breeding towarda race of liberated or alienatedbeings.Discrimination Exists in Medical Field,Doctor Asserts at Student Forum Hereby Cathy SullivanWidespread discrimination in the medical field—practicedagainst both hospital patients and med students—was allegedWednesday in the first of a series of sudent medical forums atBillings Hospital.Dr. Arthur Falls, Chairman ofthe Committee to End Discrimina¬tion in Chicago Medical Institu¬tions, speaking on “Discriminationin Medicine,” said that “medicalcharters voice noble sentiments,but not all of the members are sonobie.”OVER THE years, Dr. Falls not¬ed, Negroes, women, the poor, Ital¬ians, and Polish have been discriminated against. It was not uncommon for some to die after havingbeen refused admittance to a hospital, mainly on the grounds that“his personal physician was not af¬filiated with that hospital.”The discrimination arose partial¬ly because of space facilities.Negroes were often accommondat-ed only with other Negroes, neces¬sitating, at times, a several hourwait in a hospital lobby whilerooms were rearranged.“I.ocal coloration, though,” hecontinued, “was much in evidencein cleaning attendants, later asnurses, medical technicians, andsocial workers.”Racial QuotasIn the twenties, medical schoolsbegan to constrict their classes,putting a quota on the number ofJews they accepted, and eliminat¬ing the Negroes altogether. Thisprocedure relatively ended 15 yearsago."Some hospitals now go out andrecruit students from minoritygroups, others don’t,” Dr. Fallssaid. Most medical schools admitonly highly qualified persons andthere is no longer much discrimina¬tion there.' THE DISCRIMINATION is nowon lower levels,” he pointed out, ways which thisis most readily dis-evi-citing threecriminationdenced:• Students are not being taughtthe necessary materials in theirhigh school through lack of fac¬ilities ;• The counseling service isdevastating;• The attitude of admissionscouncils of “accepting any studentwho measures up” does not allowfor the cultural deficiency of thosestudents who come from inner cityschools.“Low scores on the aptitude testsdo not determine who may make agood doctor,” Falls stated.Started in TwentiesForty years ago Dr. Falls and hiswife started working with students 1and formed the Council forBiomedical Careers to find brightstudents who have medical careersdefinitely in mind or those whohave the potential to become physi¬cians but have not as yet decided.HARPERGALLERYANTIQUITIESJewelry, Objets D' Artand Imports5210 S.

Mattick disa¬greed with the notion that junkiesare running away from life, andobserved rather that they use thedrugs to feel “normal.”“Legislation in the field of drugaddiction is an expression of socialpower, not social justice,” MattickBOOKSSTATIONERYGREETING (ARDS•k-kick-kitTHE BOOK NOCKMl 3-75111540 E. 55th ST.10% Student Discount asserted. While criminal law usual¬ly refers to acts and not states ofbeing, the 1962 Supreme CourtRobinson decision makes being anaddict illegal.Mattick compared the general¬ized group into which addicts arelumped along with dope pushers tothe rightist epithet of “the Redmenace,” grouping communists,radicals, liberals, leftists and soci¬alists together.THE TWO GENERAL methodsof controlling addiction at presentare the punitive methods of theFederal Narcotics Bureau and thetherapeutic methods of the JointCommittee of the American BarAssociation and the American Med¬ical Society on Narcotic Organiza¬tions, said Mattick.Mattick criticized the punitivesystem which the U.S. presentlyfollows because he feels it rests onthe fallacious premise that addic¬tion is a crime to be punished. Hecalled the numerical decrease inaddiction since the legislation of se¬vere punishments “a pleasant sta¬tistical mirage.” The reason lessaddicts are convicted for narcoticcrimes, he said, is that the chargesagainst them are changed for aneasier conviction, as from illegaluse of narcotics to contributing tothe delinquency of a minor. Thepublic impression, however, is thatthe narcotics problem is comingunder control.Inevitable Changes“Basic and radical changes inour policy on drug addiction arenot only necessary but inevitable,”contended Mattick.

This willallow students who do not live in residence hall-s to listen to WUCB,he said.FM broadcasting, Metalitz stated,should be in operation with arange of three to five miles by thebeginning of spring quarter, 1967.According to Metalitz, fund¬raising is the main obstacle in es¬ tablishing the FM station. So far,the station has managed to raisethe necessary funds to buy a newconsole to meet FCC requirementsfor FM broadcasting. Funds for theconsole will come from Universityand private sources.BUT THE STATION feels that anadditional $14,000-15,000 is neededto expand to FM broadcasting. TheFM station will not be able to ob¬tain revenue from advertising,since it is applying for an educa¬ tional license, which does not allowadvertising.Presently, the station receivessome funds from advertisements intheir program guides and fromtheir tape-recording service.WUCB's CLOSED circuit station,which broadcasts at 640 AM, willcontinue to operate even after theestablishment of the FM stationand much of the programming willbe simultaneous on both stations,Metalitz noted. A certain part ofthe broadcasting time of the AMstation will be used to train newstaff members. As part of its effort to improvebroadcasting, WUCB is installinghigher quality equipment to trans¬mit to those buildings which nowreceive it. These are InternationalHouse, Burton-Judson, Pierce,Woodward, and ' > Snell-Hitchcock.The C-Shop will also receive thisequipment. 1WUCB’s current programmingincludes classical music, rock-and-roll, newscasts, commentary,jazz, art criticism, interviews, andother features.YOURFAVORITEBOOKSTOREIS ALWAYS THEBEST PLACE TO BUY FORSERVICE AND DEPENDABILITY.WOODWORTHSBOOK STORE squint.Oct alt—r* high-intcoeity lamp.Want a dean, white, bright light ?

Because they depart significantly from more tradition¬al analyses, these ideas force new kinds of roles on those thatadhere to them.The question of Black Power is of enormous significance forstudents because it involves such a redefinition of role forwhite students in the civil rights movement.Stokely Carmichael has succeeded in arousing considerableill will on the part of many who had considered themselvesfriends of the Movement, because he has insisted that a Negroprotest movement should be run by Negroes.The story is told of Cecil Moore, the renegade head of thePhiladephia NAACP, who remarked at the NAACP conventionin Los Angeles that Kivie Kaplan, a grandfatherly Jewish manfrom Boston, should not be the organization’s President. Mooreobserved that, “the day there’s a Negro President of the B’naiB rith then it will be all right to have Kaplan President of theNAACP.”What Moore was saying and what Carmichael has been say¬ing is that there is nothing so debilitating for Negro self¬esteem or the growth of “black consciousness” as having whitesdirecting what essentially must be a Negro battle.White liberals on college campuses are faced with a difficultand very important responsibility. That responsibility is theresponsibility of recognizing that Neyroes need—perhaps morethan anything else—the opportunity to make their own mis¬takes and win their own wars.Negroes, unlike any other group in the history of the Ameri¬can melting pot. have tried to gain acceptance into the main¬stream of American life by enterinp society’s pre-existinginstitutions. Black Power advocates are saying that Negroescan only enter the American mainstream by building their owninstitutions, just as every other group did.In the South, the superior ability of white students from theNorth made it very easy for rural Negroes to rely on thestudent for leadership. Mutual reinforcement resulted as civ¬il rights workers became more and more impressed with allthey were doing for the Negroes and the Negroes came toblindly depand on the civil rights worker for planning, ima¬gination, and leadership.This relationship, while very pleasant, was of little substan¬tive benefit to the poor Negro who stayed behind in Meridian,Mississippi while his summer compatriot returned to Scarsdale,New York. There was no more indigenous leadership in thecommunity than there had been before.College students are faced with a painful but necessary duty.They have a duty to take orders from Negroes and to contrib¬ute money to civil rights groups without saying a word abouthow that money is spent. The activist has an even more diffi¬cult task. He must suddenly go to work among a differentgroup of people—among the bigots whom he has spent hissummers fighting.Instead of marching for open housing in Cicero, white col¬lege students have to go into Cicero and Marquette Park andChicago Lawn and try to convince the residents through anymeans they can, that there is nothing to fear from a Negronext door.The new student role is a role for which we are uniquelyqualified. Certainly no Negro could try reasoning with a Mis¬sissippi redneck and there are few middle-aged white sympath¬izers who would want to try.The new role for the white student isn’t as exciting as pick¬eting, as dangerous as organizing, or as much fun as leader¬ship. But it may prove far more valuable than anything else.The test of the dedication of white students is not whetherthey can lead a band of Negro pickets. The true test is whetherthey can go into the Mississippi and Chicagos and quietly,diligently and effectively work to persuade the white commun¬ity to accept a decent way of life for America’s Negroes. An Old Subject, Testing,Can Use Some New ThoughtAnyone who’s made his waythrough the groves of academeknows all about the traps and pit-falls along the route known as ex¬aminations.What happens to somebodywho’s sorted out by these imper¬sonal roadblocks on the path? Hewinds up in a low-paying job, in asecond-rate college, or in Viet¬nam.Problems arise, however, whenwe examine what the typical “in¬telligence” o r “achievement”tests really measure. The tasks tobe performed cover a rather nar¬row range of abilities. A gooddeal of what the tests measure issimply how well the person canfollow the directions, and how fasthe can work.As C. Arnold Anderson, profes¬sor of education and sociology,said in a profoundly perceptivespeech Monday night, “Effortsboth to improve the validity ofpresent tests as predictors and towiden the criteria of selectionhave seemingly come at leasttemporarily to an end.”Although the “sorting” functionis most often performed by stand-a r d i z e d “achievement” tests,such as the College Boards or theGraduate Record Exams, similar effects result from normalquizzes, comprehensive exams,and tests for courses. Clearly, notest can measure how much bene¬fit a student got from a course, orhow much he will be able to con¬nect material from the coursewith the rest of what he knows. Atest can only tell how well hecould answer certain questions ofa certain type on a limited part ofthe course material at a giventime.Any assumption, therefore, thata student’s test scores, either onstandardized tests or course ex¬ams, constitute a full measure ofwhat he knows and —more impor¬tant—what he can do with thisknowledge, is a shaky assumptionindeed.This would seem to have conse¬quences for several practiceswithin the university. For exam¬ple, it should be realized that ar¬bitrary dividing lines by which ascore of 89 merits a “B” and ascore of 90 an “A” are reallymeaningless if we really want toknow how a student uses hisknowledge of a subject in connec¬tion with other knowledge. Yet,the handiest and most used meas¬ure of a student’s “success” inCollege is his Grade Point Aver¬ age—an average of numbers as¬signed on the basis of perform¬ances on selective tests in eachlimited course.If the College takes seriously itsideology of fostering the capacityto integrate knowledge in severalfields, shouldn’t its grading sys-tern reflect it?As a possible antidote to thetyranny of tests, may we suggestfor the consideration of the stu¬dent-faculty committee on grad¬ing, that the College add oral ex¬aminations and written theses inthe student’s general field to thepresent system of tests in eachindividual subject. This wouldprovide a better idea of his “inte¬grative” capacity than any nu¬merical average.Just as a sidelight, it is interest¬ing to speculate that, if this stepwere taken, and the grade pointaverage consequently lost muchof its importance, the next stepmight be to eliminate the presentsystem of restrictive grade cate¬gories altogether, and then to theultimate end of eliminating thecalculation of class rank. Howtrue it is that purely educationalconsiderations support the de¬mand for an end to ranking.mmmmmmmmmx mLetters to the Editorj* . • ?.Sc" • • *&- . SMore Not LaughingTO THE EDITOR:In a CPS article last Friday yousaid that college humor magazineeditors are “not laughing.” Thesame is true with some studentnewspaper editors. Three of themwere fired this fall at Texas A &M, not for maligning the adminis¬tration or castigating the president,but for maintaining that they hadthe right to criticize either. Thewhole incredible thing arose fromtwo rather innocuous incidents: theAggie newspaper, the Battalion,printed a letter suggesting thatalumni contributions were not ashigh as they might seem becausecurrent students as well as alumniwere solicited. The next day thepaper tried to run a news storyabout starting a political forum tobring speakers to the campus. (Thestory said that the administrationsholud have final say over whocame.) But for reason which seemamazing to anyone who has seenthe Maroon, the A & M director ofpublications censored the story.(He said it was “premature andnot fair to the administration.”)Then the president of the university(Earl Rudder) called all the stu¬dent publications editors togetherand said that he thought that as A& M was the publisher of the publi¬cations, and as no good publisherwill allow himself to be criticizedin his own publications, the editorscould not criticize (or say some¬thing that might be construed ascriticism of) A & M. He went on toassert that the members of thepublications board (which containsno students) were the real editors-in-chief, thus making the students“student” editors. On top of it allthe phrase “Publisher—A & M Uni¬versity” was inserted in the mast¬head of the Battalion, and letters tothe editor were abolished.The now “student” editor, Tom¬my DeFrank, was rather non¬plussed, yet had the reserve whentold not to talk to reporters to statealmost meekly: “The point the uni¬versity is trying to make is that Ido not have authority to determineeditorial policy. . . I cannot agree with that policy. That is not theway a student newspaper should berun.”Meanwhile President Rudderwent before the student senate toexplain the situation. Rudder said,“No one is trying to take freedomof speech away from you, but noone should try to tear down the im¬age of Texas A & M.” The senatejeered. Rudder said that anyonewho had suggestions on how theUniversity should be run shouldcome see him.

Still, the resolution de¬serves to be passed to show studentsupport for UC football.The argument for football is sim¬ ple: there is no argument againstit. A football team offers an oppor¬tunity to those who enjoy playingor watching football and certainlycreates no imposition on those whodo not. There would be minimal expense to the University, which al¬ready possesses equipment, coach¬es, a field, and potential players.Tlie presence of a football teamcertainly does not detract from aschool’s academic standing; nearlyall of the nation’s top universitiesexcept UC play football. On thecontrary, a team is an inducementfor outstanding scholar-athletes(and scholar-spectators) to attendthe university.The existing football class doesnot play games; it holds limited“scrimmages” against JV unitsfrom nearby colleges. Since a stu¬dent “attends” the class for onlyone quarter, it is never possible tocreate a team capable of meetingother small college teams or ofplaying regular games. It does notoffer either player or spectator theopportunity that a universityshould.This is not to suggest a return toBig Ten football. Certainly, thesame policy which governs UC’sother varsity teams should apply toa football team.A university without a studentfootball team is no better than onewithout a student newspaper or astudent theater or a student gov¬ernment. It is simply denying aworthwhile and enjoyable experi¬ence to its students.DAN BLUMENTHALOFF CAMPUSSG MEMBERBALBOA HEIGHTSPANAMA CANAL ZONEwmmrn *Chicago MaroonEditor-in-Chiaf David A.

Gumpert8 • CHICAGO MAROON • Friday, October 28, 1966The Chicago Literary ReviewVol. 4, No. 1 November, 1966For the Greater Glory of Pa UbuSelected Works of Alfred Jarry,Edited by Roger Shattuck andSimon Watson Taylor. GrovePress. $2.95.Alfred Jarry first came to the at¬tention of the public in 1896, withthe premiere of his Ubu Roi. Theplay was a sensation. In fact, itcaused a riot which finally had tobe broken up by the police. On thesurface, the cause of the furor wasthe public’s reaction to an assaulton its sense of decency. Jarry, itseems, took a peculiar delight inobscenity on the stage. In particu¬lar. he loved to talk about “shit” (oras it has been brilliantly renderedin English, “pschitt”—a spellingthat puts the word more properlywithin its pataphysical setting). Thepublic did not mention the othertwo members of Jarry’s triad, “phy-sick” and “phynance,” and in doingso. attempted to avoid the fact thatin a fundamental sense Jarry hadsucceeded in insulting and disgust¬ing them from every angle. He at¬tempted, and successfully carriedoff, an expose of the enormity ofthe incomprehensible perversionsof which that very audience was ca¬pable He went to the heart, themost rotten center of his audience,and having found it he threw itback to them in the form of a come¬dy which no one could understand,but which, finally, everyone under¬stood. The shit was merely the lastof a series. It gave the audiencesomething to grab on to. And theyexpressed their rage in the mostarticulate way they could conceive.No one understood that Jarrywas a satirist, therefore no onecould understand that he was muchmore than a satirist. His comedieshave all the seriousness of intent ofthe absurd. And before the close ofthe nineteenth century, he was al¬ready creating the forms and tech¬niques which our own theatre isjust now beginning to develop. Thetheoretical base for the use ofmasks, such as we now see in Jean-Claude van Itallie’s America Hurrah, Jarry worked out before 1896.The restricted use of setting andprops, and a heavy dependence onlighting effects was advocated byJarry (and put into practice in hisow n productions) before September1896. We now find this techniquepopping up everywhere—includingthe movies and Broadway musicals.And Robert Brustein’s recent ap¬peal for the development of a‘‘third theatre” (for example, thewonderfully savage MacBird), isoothing more than a watered-downrestatement of the thesis Jarry pre¬sented in “Theatre Questions”—an essay published in 1897.The classic reversal, such as wesaw a few years ago in Albee’s TheZoo Story, was raised to the level ofa consistent principle of action inJarry’s plays. But Jarry’s sense oftime is Bergsonian. Events inter¬connect in such a way that nothinghappens by the clock; everythinghas its own meaning and works outits own ending. And even here,endings and beginnings are con¬fused. It is impossible to tell whereone line of action begins and anoth¬er ends. Everything turns into itsopposite. But everything works tothe final advantage of Pa Ubu: theend product, the ultimate demo¬cratic bourgeois, an amalgam of“all the authority of the Ape.” Andit is from this point of view thateach scene has its own sense ofrecognition—a recognition whoseintensity and scope must finallycompletely bewilder the audience,or drive them to violence. Jarrywas not idealist enough to believein a third possibility.Jarry’s critical writing on thetheatre reveals a greater contemptfor his audience than would havebeen thought possible. And Pa Ubu,his central character, comes to beidentified with the audience com¬pletely. Pa Ubu, who began life as acaricature of one of Jarry’s profes¬sors, came ultimately to representfor him everything grotesque in theworld—everything, in other words,that did not have for its end theends of art, everything that was notsearching for the truth. So Jarryattempted to create a new theatrewhich would claim a new audience. For this new audience, “a few intel¬ligent people,” the theatre wouldbe “neither a holiday. . . , nor a les¬son, nor a pastime—it is somethingreal: the elite join in the creation ofone of themselves who, among thiselite, sees a being come to life inhimself that was created by him¬self: an active pleasure which isGod’s sole pleasure and which theholiday mob achieves in caricaturein the carnal act.” Here is, perhaps,catharsis carried to its fullest pos¬sible development.But Jarry’s genius was not con¬fined to the theatre. Happily, thisedition of his selected works in¬cludes translations of his poetry,essays and fiction. Unfortunately,there isn’t enough poetry to give usan idea of his full capabilities.There are only five poems, printedin French and English on facingpages. This is not enough to allowany valid generalization, but whatwe have begins in a vaguely symbol¬ist manner. And by 1901, Jarryseems to have moved into somethingdifferent. In “Tatane,” a song pourfaire rougir les negres et glorifierle Pere Ubu, sung to a seven barphrase that looks something likeBartok, Jarry presents Pa Ubu’smeeting with a Negro girl. But“A ton adresseRemporte peau,Dit la negresse,De ton zoao!”Sur le rivageLe Pere UbuA la sauvageMont re son duMais sa conquete:“ColorieLi blanc bebeteDans rencrie!” What he hasAin’t too tan;Black girl says;“Go change it, man!”What’ll he do?To his chickDaddy UbuShows his prick.With a smileSays his belle;“Dunk that chileIn an inkwell!”A characteristically straightforwardsolution, which Pa Ubu promptlycomplies with, carrying the poem toits natural climax.It is in the essays that we firstcome across Pa Ubu’s private fieldof excellence, pataphysics. Pata-physics is not, as has been suggest¬ed in the past, a crazy combinationof science and nonsense. It isscience carried beyond its own lim¬it. It represents Progress, the prog¬ress of the human mind to thepoint where all obstacles are asnothing, where the world disap¬pears. Thus, it becomes possible forJarry to write articles on “How toConstruct a Time Machine,” (a sys¬tem composed mainly of three gy¬roscopes, supporting an ebony bicy¬cle frame), which will move for¬ward and backward in time accord¬ing to the formula: V<(<-t). Later,in his “neo-scientific novel,” Ex¬ploits and Opinions of Doctor Faus-troll, Pataphysician, Jarry explainspataphysics at length.

Atheneum. $4.50.From time to time in the nine¬teenth century England would dis¬gorge distinguished sons, like Dick¬ens, to wander for awhile in Ameri¬ca. They would record who worebuckskin instead of tails, whograbbed the salt instead of askingplease and who picked his nose.They would then return to writecoldly triumphant articles about thesuperior state of their mannerly is¬land. Today England spares herdistinguished sons and sends theBeatles, who do not put down ourvulgarity but help produce it. Shehas also sent, it seems, two Oxoni¬ans. They do not sniff at our sup¬posed inferiority, but, like dogs in abutcher’s shop, revel in it.In the autumn of 1964, the twostudents—Jonathan Aitken and Mi¬chael Beloff—travelled across theeastern and central United Stateson a debating tour sponsored by theInternational Institute of Educationand the Oxford Union. They werewafted from one college campus tothe next. Breezing home in a matterof months, they removed theirwhite gloves long enough to recordtheir impressions in A Short Walkon the Campus. The message isthat the Babbitts at American U.will never match up to the chaps atOxford. Their tone is a sort of Kip¬ling in welfare-state clothing. AnyAmerican expecting to read thebook must prepare to see his nationas the focus of the disgust and pityleft over in the English heart fromwhite-man’s-burden days. But in¬ stead of being expounded to thedrum of Kipling’s verse, the visionis expressed in a compendium ofhomesick collegiate journalism inhardcover.The most appealing aspect of thebook is its humor. Messrs. Beloff andAitken first claim that Englishmenare witty, then prove it. Their bookis funny. This carries an ironydeeper, I think, than the authors in¬tended. Much of the book rotatesaround the incongruity of the stere¬otypes that Englishmen and Ameri¬cans believe true of one another. Itis surprising for an American torealize that an Englishman views usas serious and stuffy, when ourview of him is derived from moviecaricatures of Victorian English¬men wearing top-hats and monoclesto a jungle rendezvous in Bengal.In A Short Walk the authors’ stiffupper lip often gives way to aloose lower jaw. An aeroplane(their spelling) belonging to a localairline is described as travelling asthe crow flies: “some twelve feetabove the ground with wings flap¬ping wildly.” A blustering admiralat the Merchant Marine Aca¬demy delivers a speech “which wasrespectively vaguely eloquent andeloquently vague.” Opening his de¬bates with self-deprecation, Beloffsays of Aitken, “He spends his even¬ings sowing wild oats and wakes uppraying for crop failure,” and Ait¬ken replies, “I heard two of Mike’sgirl friends discussing him once.‘Doesn’t he dress well?’ said thefirst. ‘Yes,’ replied the other, ‘andquickly too.’ ”There are tidbits, one might say crumpet crumbs, of useful informa¬tion scattered through the book.For example, the reader will disco¬ver that Chicago’s Polack jokes areunoriginal; in Montreal, Canada,the version is “Why did God givethe Americans the Negroes and usthe French Canadians? Becausethey had first choice.” Or that inAmerica not all BA’s are equiv¬alent: “everyone knows that a BAin sharkfishing from the Universityof Miami is worth less than a BA inLiberal Arts from the University ofChicago.” Or that Goldwater usesthe Bible as his textbook of eco¬nomics; in fact that his economicideas in general (or so claims Be¬loff) “owe more to Adam than toAdam Smith.” Or that the Pi Drink¬ing Club is a campus women’s or¬ganizationwhose membership consisted of girlswho had taken the momentous pledgenot to engage in sexual intercourseuntil their escorts had bought themapproximately seven double bour¬bons. Others we met were describedas being ‘three beer girls’! We didn’tmeet those who did it on one bottleof Coca-Cola but no doubt theyexist.But the following passage ismore typical; though funny in away, neither its impact nor its in¬tent is humorous. It describes thedelayed appearance of Barry Gold-water at a Republican rally in theelection year, autumn 1964.There followed no less than nineteenminutes of solid cheering, whichmade a Beatles’ reception look likethe applause for a minor cabinetminister at a Tory women’s tea-par¬ty. It was startling and terrifying.After we had heard Goldwater speak,we guessed that the motive was less enthusiasm at his appearance than 1desire to prevent him from opening ;his mouth. This was wishful thinking. \There was hysteria in the PittsburghCivic Arena that night, and it wasenough to worry any small ‘d’ demo- ;crat.Though the early chapters of AShort Walk are humorous es¬says with the tone of an Oxford bullsession, the book moves toward aserious and often ferocious analy¬sis of America in general, andAmerican colleges in particular. Asthe dimples fade from the cheeksof the authors, their fangs appear.Like the documents of nine¬teenth-century Englishmen, who ontheir return from Calcutta wrotebooks convincing themselves andtheir countrymen that the Hindus“exhibit human nature in a verydegraded, humiliating state, and areat once objects of disesteem and ofcommiseration,” A Short Walk onthe Campus is less an attempt todescribe or account for a culturethan a determination to condemn it.Parts of it may well serve as a swiftkick in the bulbously complacentAmerican seat. But much of thebook is an inexcusably weak attemptto understand another nation’s wayof life.The book might be compared toan amusement house mirror: whileexposing certain features from anew and more illuminating angle, itis mostly composed of blobs andhollows of distortion. There seem tobe three major sources for thesedistortions.The authors’ attack on Americanuniversities is not meant to producemass condemnation, merely selec¬tive destruction. They generouslyadmit that Harvard or Berkeleymight be above their criticisms.They mean to indict only the typi¬cal American universities. They arequick to point out that if their gen¬eralizations do not fit Berkeley orChicago, these schools “are aboutas typical of American colleges asEton and Bedales are of Englishsecondary schools.” Yet the aver¬age American university is forcedinto constant comparison with theauthors’ own school—Oxford—which is about as representative ofEnglish higher education as D.H.Lawrence’s views of sex were of hiscompatriots’. With Oxford as theyardstick, it is not surprising thatsuch titans of American educationas Ball State Teachers’ TrainingCollege or Murray State Universityin Kentucky appear only incheshigh.A second and similar samplingproblem causes distortion in AShort Walk. The authors didn’tstumble blindly from campus tocampus: their accommodationswere arranged, they were taken toparties by “student leaders,” theyhad dates arranged by facultymembers. It seems fair to questionwhether Messrs. Beloff and Aitkenfound American students imma¬ture, conservative and intellectual¬ly bland because this is a fact or be¬cause of the nature of their trip.Not only are ^dwestern stateteachers’ coll*'rrn~ "ot the best place(Continued on page six)November, 1966 • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • 3The Fine Art of DyingAriel, by Sylvia Plath. Forewardby Robert Lowell. Harper and Row.$4.95.Life is death. Death is perfection.Sylvia Plath desperately yearnedafter this perfection. On February11, 1963, she committed suicide.The woman is perfected.Her deadBody wears the smile of accomplish¬ment.Her words,Echoes travellingOff from the centre like horses,are the “indefatigable hoof-taps” ofher life. Her poems are an internaldialogue with death.This second collection of herverse is like the gallop of thosehorses, pounding toward the inevi¬table conclusion. Ariel is her diary.Beginning in the darkness of life,she races to the bright “blood-flush” of death. Straining towardthe incarnation of Christ and themetempsychosis of Plato, she isdriven on by an energy she does notbother to question or contemplate.She is Ariel, the bound spirit,and life is her Prospero. Releasedfrom her bondage in flesh, she isfree to rise again, at one with thesun and the sea. Onward she flies,obsessed with war and blood, andwith each poem she peels off one byone the layers that ally her withearth-bound humanity.And I, stepping from this skinOf old bandages, boredoms, old facesStep to you from the black car ofLethe,Pure as a baby.Plath is not capable of detachingherself from her material, but habit¬ually identifies with every deathimage she uses. She is pregnant,and she is an elm, with the great“malignity” of life running throughher branches. Her own abortive at¬tempts at suicide merge with theJews endurance after Hitler’s at¬tempts to annihilate them:A sort of walking miracle, my skinBright as a Nazi lampshade,My right footA paperweight,My face a featureless, fineJew linen.And like the cat I have nine times todie.Out of the ashI rise with my red hairHer image patterns involve areversal of life and death. She isbom in the grave, and she “foamsinto wheat” as a result of this “sta¬sis in darkness.” She drowns in thedeath symbolism of water. Bees,which are usually associated withlife, activity, and the sweetness ofhoney, are a symbol of death andburial, and a “bee meeting” be¬comes her own funeral. Beehivesbecome coffins, as her own body isa coffin, butThe box is only temporary.And just as the body is a trap fromwhich she must escape, the pages ofAriel themselves, at each reading,seem more and more a handful ofdesiccated flesh and desertedbones.She lacks the organic structureof Wallace Stevens, to whom sheowes a considerable debt. Herforms are, in fact, shells and skele¬tons which often have little appar¬ ent connection on the surface. Forher, a living organism has no value.Externally, her poems utilize strictformal structure, but the underly¬ing pattern is chiefly free associa¬tion revolving around the ultimatevalue of death.“The Bee Meeting,” for example,suddenly draws to a close with arapid series of extremely personalallusions unearthed rather enig¬matically from previous material:I am exhausted, lam exhausted—Pillar of white in a blackout ofknives.I am the magician’s girl who doesnot flinch.The villagers are untying their dis¬guises,they are shaking hands.Whose is that long white box in thegrove,what have they accomplished, whyam I cold?In “Totem,” however, one of themost successful poems in the vol¬ume, her free association achieves aremarkable unity of structure andcontent. Here the images build andreinforce one another in a physicaldesign capped by the totem ofdeath itself.Unfortunately, free associationcan also weaken a poem. In orderfor such a series of images to work,there must be a continuity evidentto the reader. One image must leaddirectly into the next; if it does not,the entire poem tends to revolvearound accidentally completed pat¬terns. The poem can end, beginagain, end, begin again, and so on.Plath’s associated images do notalways give us a solid poem. Theforce of her own personality oftencarries the imagination along. Ineffect, tone substitutes for struc¬ture.This is the case in “Years.” Shebegins with a simple and bitterstatement of the issuing-in of newyears. This reminds her of theChristmas season, and thus ofChrist. The Christ-image sets inmotion an entirely new poem aboutherself. Developed separately, eachpoem would be quite valid; but astwo sections of an amalgam, theyhold together by sheer will-power.Plath’s language is brilliant andjarringly original; it is almost im¬possible not to be impressed by herinternal and suggested rhymes, herfacility with lines of varying length,and the natural quality of herrhythms. Her images are fresh andoften harsh, like those of D. H.Lawrence; but in Plath, ruggednessis balanced by an intellectual re¬finement strongly suggestive ofEmily Dickinson.From time to time her poetrysuffers from occasional lines whichare either utterly barbarous or en¬tirely too precious:. , . a skyPalely and flam ttyIgniting its carbon monoxidesOrA creel of eels, all ripplesOr (astoundingly)Elba, Elba, bleb on the sea!The sequence of poems in Arielis at least puzzling. No editor’sname is given; the more or less ran¬dom arrangement makes one won¬ der whether there really was an ed¬itor. Plath is not an easy poet. Theonly way to overcome many of thedifficulties involved in understand¬ing her work is to see that individ¬ual poems in proper relationshipto each other. It is not the review¬er’s task to re-arrange a volume ofpoetry; but even a simple chronolog¬ical order would have revealedmuch more about Plath’s imagepatterns, the meaning of some ofthe more obscure poems, and thedevelopment of her viewpoint.Plath’s poetry and biography areinseparable. AH the elements of herdisturbed life are imbedded in herpoems. This is particularly evidentin her best-known piece— possiblythe last one she wrote before hersuicide—“Daddy.” Here her con¬stant death-wish, the intense love-hate she maintained for her deadfather, even the identification ofher own husband as a father-sub¬stitute, become explicit.As the intellectual taskmaster ofher childhood, her father is an ob¬ject of hatred, and becomes thepersonification of Hitler and of allNazi atrocities. (And she often as¬sumes the identity of a Jew in orderto repudiate her German- Austrianheritage.)But her father died when she wasten, robbing her of the opportunityRoethke: Collected Poems, byTheodore Roethke. Doubleday andCompany. $5.95.It has never been easy, since thepublication of Roethke’s first vol¬ume of poetry in 1941, to ignore therichness and vitality of his work orthe almost mystic union of self withnature which forms the core of itscontent. The present volume, ap¬pearing some three years after hisdeath, includes both his collectedverse and sixteen previously uncol¬lected works, all compiled underthe guidance of his wife Beatrice.It contains “all the poems fromprevious books by Theodore Ro¬ethke, except Party at the Zoo.”Definitive editions of this typealways stamp a poet as worthy ofthe acclaim given to previous liter¬ary giants. But if Roethke is agiant, his stature was suspectedonly as late as the posthumous publication of The Far Field in 1964,perhaps rightly so.To read Roethke the poet is toknow Roethke the man. He sings ofhimself with as much intensity asWhitman, but with considerablymore embarrassment and indirec¬tion. He is reminiscent at times ofthe profound simplicity of Blake,the dramatic mysticism of Yeats,the search for unity with all exis¬tence characteristic of Eliot.Roethke critics and readers havesaid all this before, with some occa¬sional negative comments on theextent of his ability to copy. Othersfind Roethke far more than a mere to gain him as a love-conquest; sheconstantly seeks to join him indeath to regain that opportunity.(Probably a good deal could be saidhere on the intrusion of guilt intothe entire picture.)In this poem, she seems toachieve the ultimate solution to theDaddy problem. She will enter intodeath and, once there, reject herfather:Daddy, Daddy, you bastard,I’m through.But the solution is only apparent.Her father dominated even herdeath.

Here he unfolds, in somethinglike chronological order, the innerresponses of a sensitive mind pass¬ing from the unthinking joy ofchildhood into the abyss of earlyadulthood. Roethke’s purpose is toassociate the inner psychic worldwith outer reality. He accomplishesthis almost entirely by means ofterrifyingly exact nature imagery.Take, for example, “Weed Puller,”where bizarre imagery is drawnfrom a childhood spent in his fa¬ther’s greenhouse:“Hacking at black hairy roots, —Those lewd monkey-tails hangingfrom drainholes,—Or yanking tough fern-shapes,Coiled green and thick, Mke drippingsmttax,Tugging all day at perverse life:”Roethke himself has said that bypoetry he wishes to “transmitand purify” his life—by means of“felt,” not rationalized knowledge.The sequence of thought in much ofhis poetry moves along by free asso¬ciation. “The Shape of the Fire,”for instance, follows a stream ofconsciousness; that is, the flow ofthe poem comes from sequences of(Continued on Page Ten)I in the Sky4 • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • November, 1966A Stainless Steel SmileSelected Poems of Andrei Vozne¬sensky. Translated by Anselm Hollo.Grove Press, Evergreen Edition.$1.95.One of the current crop of “pop¬ular” historians, John Gunther,noted recently in a book about thepeople of the Soviet Union an inci¬dent he doubts he will ever forget.Seated in a small restaurant in oneof the larger Russian cities, he wasdrawn to a pretty girl who had justentered. She glanced around theroom, caught the writer’s eye, andimmediately gave him a smile. Hersmile was transfixing. She had aperfect set of stainless steel teeth.That smile came to my mindwhen I opened the Selected Poemsof Andrei Voznesensky. “Taiga”begins:Your teeth are brave.They smile like a knife.I remembered the girl with thestainless steel teeth, and thoughtperhaps one would find this imagequite jarring if one did not comefrom a country in which a prettygirl can have a stainless steel smile.Whether Voznesensky ever cameacross such a girl is not really im¬portant. I think he must have, sincehis poems are themselves smallerversions of stainless steel disap¬pointments. Too often, the reader isenticed, as in “The Lilac Tree,‘Moscow-Warsaw’A hundred wild goats - •only one gazelle.A hundred penny-whistles -a single flute.To bloom in a garden, before one’stime.There are a hundred lilac trees -I love only this one!But then, at the end, the poet’semotional response turns from thewarmth of love to the coldness anddisappointing rigidness of:PS.I get a letter: “The lilac tree hasdied.’* Again, at the end of “The BigFire at the Architectural College”:Everything’s burn* down now,Good.EverybodyDraw a real deep breath.Everything over?Everything’s started!Now. let’s go seeThat movie.Just as light is reflected from ashining steel surface, so too are wemade to feel that, at the point webegin to penetrate the veneer ofVoznesensky’s subject, we areturned back. We are not allowed tobecome emotionally concerned overdeeper significances, but are meton the edge of discovery by a brickwall.Anselm Hollo, the translator ofthis particular group of poems,writes in his introduction thatVoznesensky is interested in man asman, rather than as politician. Per¬haps this explains his seeming mor¬al evasiveness. Voznesensky isquoted as saying: “The basic prob¬lem of contemporary literature: tolook deep into the human mind,right inside the brain!” Unfortu¬nately, Voznesensky is limited, ofnecessity, to looking deep into theVoznesensky mind, and it shockshim to find there an inner core ofsteel. In the world outside, too, hesees desolation and feels coldness.The Selected Poems is actually acompilation of two distinct sets ofpoems. The first set consists of ran¬dom ideas, while the second springsdirectly from the poet’s recent visitto America. The first poems seemquite tame compared to the Ameri¬can group. The poet himself admitsthat the latter are not really trueimages of America because “theyare like snapshots taken in a liftthat is speeding from one floor tothe other.” There are times, espe¬cially when line after line of a poem runs as long as nine or tenwords, when the poems becomeprose-like. In fact, there are threeselections in the first set, “Eduardode Filippo,” “On the Banks of theYenissei,” and “Lover of Lorca,”which I would call, for lack of areally definitive term, “poses.”In “Eduardo de Filippo” Vozne¬sensky seems more relaxed, perhapsbecause he has none of the usualconfines of poetry. He is standingon the balcony of a fellow artist’sstudio, at night, watching his shad¬ow as it falls across a building onthe other side of the street.My enormous, hyperbolical shad-PathAble finally to see them as otherthan embodiments of his repressedpast, George is released from hisfeelings of guilt, and makes the de¬cision to marry his mistress.Obviously such a novel bordersdangerously on the trite, but Hale’sexecution suggests that he wasconscious of the pitfalls. The jour-and returns to the old hometown hericated, but it suits the familiartheme very well. The journey givesthe story a reason to be told, and, at“ the same time, sheds clear light onthe theme. Hale also seizes oppor¬tunities to exploit the confusedjumble of memories such a tripwould involve. One cannot callHale’s technique stream - of - con¬sciousness (even if one could definethat term), but it is closely allied toit. The entire novel is a montage ofmemories, observations and eventsthat follow one another in close se¬quence, closing the thirty-year gapbetween George’s youth and thepresent.A story like Hale’s cannot be toldin a modern novel without concen-(Continued on page seven) ow flattened itself on the house op¬posite as if on a screen, covering,engulfing countless windows.

Atmost, one can call it a “pose,” buteven that is somewhat stretchingthe point, and while one does,one can feel a certain poet smilingbehind one’s back, trying to hidethe stainless.Now we can never be absolute¬ly sure, at least until someone elsehas tried, that Voznesensky’s poemsare accurately rendered by AnselmHollo’s translation. Of course, with¬out ever having seen the originalpoetry, we can surmise that theremust be differences between whatthe rhythm and connotation of theRussian conveys, and that whichthe English conveys. But if thetranslation is substantially true,and we have no reason to suspectotherwise, the abruptness and rig¬idity of Voznesensky’s poetry con¬firm the gleaming desolation of histhemes.Martha WilliamsMiss Williams is a fourth-year studentin the department of English at De PaulUniversity.Up the We/MV ornKissed the Girls and Made ThemCry, by John Hale.

The visit brings theusual memories of a rough child¬hood, estranged parents, a sordidmarriage and assorted mistresses.At first glance, John Hale’s novel,Kissed the Girls and Made themCry, appears to add one more to thedreary list of angry, young (badlywritten) books.Actually the novel shows a bal¬anced effort. Although the themeis familiar, Hale’s treatment isacute and clear-headed. To hiscredit, Hale contents himself withbeing a highly competent observerinstead of a pseudo-philosopher orsensationalist.At one point George remarksthat his home town acts as “priest orinterrogator on my mind.” This isprecisely the method that Hale usesto unfold his story. Guilt caused bythe death of Joe, his lifelong friend, compels George to re-examine thedying town and the memories itharbors. The journey home into thepast is, by now, a well-worn pathfor novelists, but Hale travels itwell.George hates the shabby sea-sidevillage, but he is constantly accost¬ed by familiar childhood memories,which Hale manages to convey withboth the humor and cruelty ofwhich children are capable. Typicalis his description of “the great cowdinosaur”: : c:It was the fat boy’s mum. My God!she was a terror—ypu would haveneeded a bazooka to stop her.

A psychiatrist wouldlabel them defensive; a layman,merely homesick. Faced with newspeech patterns and new social be¬haviors, constantly moving fromone group of people to another,they became lonely—and were tooproud to admit it. Much of their crit¬icism apparently is a rationaliza¬tion of their sense of superiorityand isolation, and thus is banal orfoolish. They spend paragraphs inan effort to show, for example, thesuperiority of “British Conversa¬tion” to “American Conversation”—as if all Englishmen were SamuelJohnsons, and all Americans SamuelGomperses. Aitken and Beloff findmuch humor in the foolish stereo¬types of Englishmen many Ameri¬cans hold, yet they are masters ofthe stereotype themselves.

Americanstudents do not marry young—theymarry too young; American footballis not a different game than rugby—it is a boring and ridiculous imi¬tation. That Americans still debatethe desirability of a welfare state,rather than accept it one and all,constitutes in the authors’ eyes notthe expression of a different pointof view or the prudent examinationof a major social change, but a sim¬ply shocking (and nearly incompre¬hensible) situation.

TheUniversity of Chicago Press. $8.95.The Emergence of the AmericanUniversity, by Laurence R. Veysey.The University of Chicago Press.$10.00.The period between 1890 and1910 saw American society growand develop in many ways. The ageof large-scale capitalist industry’srapid expansion was heading for aclimax. Immigrants were swellingthe ranks of workers and citv-dwellers. A new class of business-minded nouveau riche was growing.America’s attention began to turnoutward as the internal wounds ofthe Civil War became less painful.Like the chameleon it has alwaysbeen, the American system of edu¬cation, too, changed its appearance.No longer could colleges turn outmore-or-less polished “gentlemen”and ministers. New ingredients—atouch of energetic, practical Ameri¬can business spirit, a pinch of tradi¬tional British snuff, and a dose ofthe new scholarship from Germany—all found their way into the bub¬bling pot of American higher edu¬cation. Different men combinedthem in different proportions dur¬ing the early stages of experimen¬tation before the cookbooks werestandardized.By the turn of the century, reci¬pes called for all three ingredi¬ents, and the cooks were borrowing from each other to make sure theydid not fall behind in the competi¬tion for customers. But even withthe basic similarities among thenew breed of universities, therewere several notable differences ofemphasis, style, speed of develop¬ment, and degree of success. Thetwo quite complementary books un¬der discussion, taken together, givea good picture of the developmentof the university in America. Onepaints a broad canvas with scrupu¬lous attention to form and detail;the other adds depth and even moredetail to one of the scene’s moreinteresting highlights.Laurence Veysey, an alumnus ofthe University of Chicago and cur¬rently assistant professor of historyat the University of Wisconsin, haspainted the “big picture” with skilland feeling. To him,the most striking thing about theAmerican university in its formativeperiod is the diversity of mind shownby the same men who spurred its de¬velopment. Although by the end ofthe century one can properly speakof ‘the’ university, characterized bya particular structure, not even apowerful trend toward uniformity ofprocedure could obliterate the pro¬found differences of opinion whichsubdivided the academic population.Veysey looks at two types of con¬flict that were waged in the grovesof American academe—1. the phi¬losophies of learning which warredfor primacy in shaping curriculaafter the Civil War, and 2 the emer¬gence of a new bureaucratic, de¬ partmentalized structure in the uni-versity after 1890, which was notmet with unbounded enthusiasm bvall observers.What kind of education did menof that period think American stu¬dents should acquire? Veysey seesone pattern slowly fading out, thetraditional orthodox viewpoint of“discipline and piety” which hadheld away in the denominationalcloisters until the aftermath of theCivil War and other social changesmade it outdated.Three new concepts on the prop¬er role of institutions of highereducation arose to take the place ofthis old pattern. These were:• Utility, which stressed profes¬sional training. Varying expres¬sions of this general outlook camefrom Andrew D. White’s Cornell,which put all courses of study on anequal footing, and Harvard underCharles W. Eliot which abandonedthe strict requirements for a cer¬tain set of courses in favor of theelective system.• The pattern of a research insti¬tution was planted in America bythose who brought the seed fromGermany. It took root first in Balti¬more, where Johns Hopkins Uni¬versity provided a model for otherinstitutions, under the green thumbof Daniel Coit Gilman.• Finally, a sizeable group of edu¬cators set “liberal culture” as their(Continued on page seven)again registered by the cat’s cortex.It is not unusual for us to read ex¬poses on the extent or violence ofprejudice, but it is a shock indeedto see it for a moment through theeyes of those who have not ceasedto register it, of those who do notaccept it as a natural state of af‘fairs. A Short Walk on the Campusis worth reading because despitebias or distortion, it compels us torespond once again to our environ¬ment.Throughout the book the bittercup of mass higher education ispushed between America’s teethand tilted. Beloff and Aitken pointto the feeble academic level of somany American colleges: the highdegree of professorial control overstudents who are marshalledthrough mandatory classes and con¬stant grading; the “dilution of thesyllabus” through such programs ofstudies as industrial arts, home eco¬nomics, and circusology (in Florida);the computerized atmosphere of TVcourses. They claim that the expan¬sion of graduate studies may be dueless to a love of learning, more tothe difficulty of obtaining an un¬dergraduate program meant for thetalented rather than the average(though this does not lessen theirprofessional schools).And they point to a glum para¬dox: though America seems dedi¬cated to giving almost everyone a college educaion, the tuition sys¬tem compels many students to workpart-time and study only part-time.Nor has tuition, as opposed to gov¬ernment-financed studies, keptAmerican universities any “freer”;the authors were shocked to findpolitical speakers censored on thecampu s—a malevolent practicethey claim to be exorcised fromBritish quadrangles. As for theAmerican student, why he fits hiscollege: “The bulk of American stu¬dents remain obdurate conserva¬tives, conservative in politics, con¬servative in morals, conservative instyle of behavior and range ofambitions. . . .well-scrubbed, well-mannered, well-fed.” They claimthat in spite of Berkeley or Time-Life descriptions of the radicalcampus, rebellion is the banner of aminute minority. Political activismis far overrated; students are apt tosubscribe to correct, unthinking Re¬publicanism.Nor do the authors stop at con¬demnation of the “system” and the“mass.” Their bitter brew of criti¬cism is potent with contempt forthe ethos they found prevalent inindividuals and small groups. Theyportray at best a large element ofstudent-life as not only mediocreand uncommitted to any ideal, butas immature, asinine, and repul¬sive. They describe students run¬ning around pulling off each others’underwear and calling it a panty- raid, an exercise a little regressedfor a play lot. In their chapter onfraternities they relate incidents ofstupidity and sadism. They seethese organizations as “incubatorsfor immaturity,” destructive of in¬terpersonal relations—particularlybetween the sexes—promoters ofbigotry, and instillers of “a blind de¬sire to conform to a pattern of un¬swerving normality.”It is not so much the validity ofwhat Beloff and Aitken have writ¬ten that is crucial. It is that theypresent a viewpoint so contradic¬tory to that of almost every otherdecent book or article on the Amer¬ican campus. Their work is full ofmisplaced snobbery and biasedjudgments. But it is also full ofmany acrid truths. They force thereader to question whether thecampus of Vietniks, of L.S.D., ofcivil rights demonstrations is notperhaps a figment of the press. Or awish-fulfillment. Defensively chau¬vinistic or not, they rebalance lop¬sided, dramatized views of the cam¬pus as the seat of the “alienated" orthe New Left.

Humanism, idealism, educa¬tion for the “well-rounded man,”and even a smattering of old-fash¬ioned religion found homes inPrinceton under Woodrow Wilsonand his Calvinist predecessors, andin corners of such places as Yale,Harvard and even the University ofWisconsin.According to Veysey, the propo¬nents of these differing philoso¬phies of education never quite be¬came reconciled. But the clamor ofbattle muted as a new frameworkfor education arose; the universityeventually proved capable of bring¬ing differing factions under thesame roofs.Perhaps the epitome of the newuniversity was aptly named “Harp¬er’s Bazaar.” William Rainey Harp¬er, in energetically designing thenew University of Chicago, includ¬ed plans for a far-reaching Exten¬sion Division and a full-fledgeduniversity press. This democraticeffort to spread learning Harpercombined with a search for themost outstanding scholars and re¬searchers in every field. Harperswooped down on other institutions,luring away their top talent withthe promise of comfortable salaries.The success of Harper’s universi¬ty lies mostly in Harper’s own tal¬ents as a salesman—his ability tomake people believe in him and hisundertaking. His grand schemeswould have been severely limited,however, if there had not been a buyer with plenty of wherewithal—John D. Rockefeller. Rockefeller’swillingness to let Harper form hisown plans and run his own showprevented Chicago from the disas¬ter that befell Stanford University,where Jane Lanthrop Stanfordlooked upon the school as “her”university, and forced presidentDavid Starr Jordan to fire facultymembers too publicly liberal for hertastes.Storr’s book, Harper’s University,presents a detailed account of onlyone side of the story. Storr, an asso¬ciate professor of history at Chica¬go, has dug into the University ar¬chives for every detail of the deal¬ings between Harper and the trus¬tees, and Rockefeller and his advi¬sors. The resulting study is muchlike a drama, with the Dionysiacenthusiast Harper pitted againstthe Apollonian Rockefeller and hisbookkeepers who periodically re¬volted against the deficits in theUniversity’s budget.It’s pretty dry drama, though.Both antagonists have high motives—Harper, to build the greatest cen¬ter of learning in the U.S., nay, theworld; Rockefeller, to make sure theinfant institution is established on asound financial foundation. Theendless cycle of appeals to Rocke¬feller for money to bail out the uni¬versity one more time make forsome confusion. How long ago wasthat last grant given? What termsdoes so-and-so want for such-and-such a grant, and how much is Xwilling to give if Y will match it?It’s frenzied finance indeed.The curriculum, of course, is asimportant as the cash, and Storr de¬votes great attention to the coursesoffered at each level and the re¬quirements for each type of degree.Much space is devoted to blow-by-blow accounts of faculty debatesover whether to require Latin forentrance to the junior college orgraduation therefrom.For all its detailed accounts ofnegotiations for money and discus¬sions of curriculum, however,Storr’s book fails to bring the uni¬versity or any of the people con¬nected with it to life. We are toldonly the bare essentials of Harper’s own background. Storr describesHarper mostly through relating hisofficial actions, less through first¬hand accounts. The same holds truefor Rockefeller, who remains enig¬matic throughout the book. Thesupporting cast also merits morepersonal description than it re¬ceives.(For readers who wish a livelytreatment of Harper’s life, and arewilling to overlook exuberant inat¬tention to details of the relationsbetween Harper and Rockefeller,the short booklet Young Man in aHurry may be interesting. It waswritten by Jack-of-all-writing Mil-ton Mayer, and published by theUC Alumni Association in 1957.)Storr’s detailed attention to formal¬ities of the curriculum and so onalso give us little hint of what allthis meant to the student, who re¬mains pretty much the forgottenman. -One of the more critical aspectswhich Storr chooses not to treat is(Continued from page five)tration or psychological hang-ups.Although Hale uses the first per¬son, he avoids the almost inevitableboredom of long self-explanation bybringing in George’s dialogue withhis “unpleasant voice.”So what the hell have I been beefingabout all these years: What is thisgreat, just beyond the consciousmind, problem that ha-s been exercis¬ing me? Wind, my friend, wind andpiss.‘Hurrah,’ said the unpleasant voice,‘now we’re getting somewhere.George is ashamed.’Above all, though, Hale’s owngift of viewing all with humor, tol¬erance and understanding redeemsthe novel.

En¬glish of destruction round the globe?‘People are starving, mines have col¬lapsed’ — pass the cornflakes —‘The forces of order are killing therebels, the rebels are killing theforces of order. . . ’This is not to say the novel iscompletely successful. It is Hale’s Chicago’s place among other uni¬versities of the time. Harper feltconfident his enterprise was insome ways unique in the nation,even the world. Whether or not thiswas true, it is certain that Chicagomade a forceful impact on other in¬stitutions. Other than one brief al¬lusion to some other budding uni¬versities, however, Storr gives littleattention to the place of Chicago inthe world of academe.For a good idea of the context ofAmerican higher education aroundthe turn of the century, Veysey’sbook is most useful. It is hopedthat, in the forthcoming volumesStorr plans on the history of Chica¬go, he will give some attention toflesh-and-blood people and to broad¬er social patterns, both of whichhave had an important impact onthe university’s story.David L.

Levin. Beacon Press. $5.95.John Kennedy’s election machinehad catapulted him to the highestoffice in the land. Now the brotherof the President of the United Stateswas running against the nephew ofthe Speaker of the House for theDemocratic Senate nomination. Theyear was 1962, the place Massa¬chusetts and the chronicler of thedrama was Murray Levin, professorof government at Boston Universityand an intimate observer of Massa¬chusetts politics.How did the financing, publicityand political skill which had wonfor John Kennedy work for his thir¬ty year-old brother Edward? DoAmerican voters now seek goodlooks, personality, and style inelected officials above all otherconsiderations? How are new tech¬niques in human engineering beingused by the politically successful ofour day? Professor Levin sets outto answer these fascinating ques¬tions and he chooses a fascinatingelection for his probing study.Kennedy Campaigning is a pleas¬ant surprise to those who have tiredof Theodore White’s flashy journal¬istic portraits of election cam¬paigns. Levin, a professional politi¬cal scientist, makes a concentratedeffort to reach behind the facade ofAmerican politics and ferret out thesubstance of the electoral process.Although Levin witnessed the cam¬paign’s events, most of his informa¬tion comes from after-the-fact tapedinterviews. In the months followingEdward Kennedy’s election, Levininterviewed thousands of conven¬tion delegates, campaign managers,public relations men, speech writ¬ers, and voters. Then he spent threeyears analyzing and evaluating thematerial, and elaborately research¬ing campaign finances and publici¬ty.The two candidates in the 1962race might have stepped out of anovel. Edward McCormack, son ofthe famous Boston political boss“Knocko" McCormack and nephewof the Speaker of the House, was asolid party “pol” from South Bos¬ton. McCormack had carefullyworked up through minor publicoffices to become Massachusetts’Attorney General in 1958. He estab¬lished a generally progressive rec¬ord; on all counts he was a goodbet for the Senate....\Edward Kennedy, youngest -ofthe four famous brothers, had bafe-ly reached the qualifying age .ofthirty in 1962. Two days after heannounced his candidacy, it was re¬vealed that he had been thrown outof Harvard years before for cheat¬ing on an exam. Kennedy had neverheld any government office. Yetwhen the ballots were counted onSeptember 18, Edward Kennedyhad won by over 300,000 votes.Levin carefully documents theelaborate preparations which wentinto this victory. The first rung on the ladder was an endorsementfrom the state Democratic conven¬tion. McCormack was expected topull weight in the convention be¬cause of his long party apprentice¬ship, but a Kennedy combination ofcomprehensive delegate crossfilesand old-style political favors car¬ried the President’s brother to anoverwhelming victory. White Housepolitical influence overwhelmedthe small-time politicians who filledthe convention hall in Springfield.As Knocko McCormack lamented:They’re cold, they’re cold. . . I gothere at 12:30 last night, and I gotin the elevator with an old friendfrom Northampton. He’s been in theAmerican Legion with me for years,and I say, “Hello, Commander.” Andhe hangs his head and says, “I can’tbe with you, Knocko.” “What do youmean?” says I. “I’ve been offered agood federal job if I go with Ken¬nedy,” says he.With the convention’s endorse¬ment in his pocket, Kennedy car¬ried his campaign to the voters. Thepublic appearances, the televisiondebates, the publicity campaignsand the massive organization are alldetailed by Levin, as he describeshow the streamlined Kennedy ma¬chine systematically outflanked Mc¬Cormack’s old school style of cam¬paigning.Levin also analyzes the campaignas a paradigm of mid-twentiethcentury politics. He is particularlyfascinated and alarmed by the devel¬opment of what he calls a “pseudo¬ event,” the culmination of the im¬age-maker’s art. The Kennedyswere first to use this technique onsuch a scale, but it has spreadquickly. Edward Kennedy was sur¬rounded at all times by dozens ofprofessional publicity men, speechwriters, make-up men, and image-makers. He made not one move, notone statement, not one appearanceduring the entire campaign whichhad not been carefully developedand rehearsed for him by theprofessionals whose sole concernwas their candidate’s impression onthe voters.Levin is deeply concerned overthe implications for democracy ofsuch a tailor-made candidate:The problem is, of course, critical,since democracy is based on the dualassumption that the average mancan distinguish the spurious fromthe genuine, and that he will preferthe latter. If it is now possible tomanufacture a synthetic or pseudoreality, more attractive and vibrantthan reality and neither completelyfalse nor true, through a series ofcarefully staged, picturesque eventswhich appear to be spontaneous, thedistinction between sham and realitydisappears.Although he does not discountKennedy’s advantage in being thePresident’s brother, Levin finallyconcludes that:Edward Kennedy’s rise to power andsubsequent political stardom wasbased partly on the public’s extrava¬gant expectations—their need forheroes and illusions—and on Ken¬nedy’s ability to pay for the servicesof men expert in creating and sell¬ing pseudo-events. As Levin points out, after McCor¬mack and Kennedy debated on tele¬vision most voters rememberedonly that McCormack spoke out ofthe side of his mouth, while Kenne¬dy was handsome and had a finevoice. Only a minute percentagecould remember any of the issuesdiscussed.The use and misuse of campaignwar-chests also comes into Levin’sanalysis. He documents the sys-tematic efforts of both candidatesto evade Massachusetts laws regu¬lating campaign expenditures. Themassive image-making in a moderncampaign requires that the candi¬date be either independentlywealthy or willing to sell his futurepolitical independence to large con¬tributors willing to support him.Kennedy Campaigning is not asexciting or stylistically pleasing asWhite’s campaign documentaries,but Levin’s book is not without itsown type of drama, The long quot¬ed passages from delegates pres¬sured at the State convention, de¬scriptions by publicity men of theelaborate preparations for eachKennedy appearance and the ver¬batim reports and television debatesall contribute to Levin’s incisive ac¬count of political combat.The author’s dedication to histhesis does not prejudice his accu¬rate treatment of the campaign'sother aspects. While the brunt ofhis indictment falls on Kennedy.Levin never stoops to polemics. Aheavy reliance on quotes from par¬ticipants still leaves room for Levin’s witty and enlightening com¬mentary.The analysis suffers becauseLevin never personally interviewedthe candidates. Their impressionsof the campaign would have addedan invaluable dimension to the po¬litical study; the necessity of deal¬ing solely with subordinates mayhave heightened Levin’s feelingthat the candidates were moreshadow than substance. The book isoften redundant, and unfortunatelyLevin feels compelled to cite hugeamounts of evidence for each minorconclusion he reaches. The sectionon finances is unnecessarily detailedand verbose. Most of the financialrecords could have been more use¬fully inserted in an appendix.But these faults do not substan¬tially detract from what is a signifi¬cant probe into the realities of thedemocratic process in a mass age.The increasing tendency of theAmerican electorate to seek youth(Kennedy, Bayh), looks (Lindsay,Romney), wealth ’ (Rockefeller,Scranton) and most disturbing,celebrities from other fields (Wii-kenson, Murphy, Glenn, Salinger,Reagan) may mark a serious de¬ficiency in American democracy.Professor Levin has performed aservice in initiating analysis of thephenomenon, the pseudo-candidate.Mel PiehlMr. Piehl is a second-year studentmajoring in Government at ValparaisoUniversity.LittleSparrowin theStreetThe Wheel of Fortune, the Autobio¬graphy of Edith Piaf. Translated byPeter Trewartha and Andree Ma-soin de Virtor. Chilton Books. $4.50.Edith Piaf, one of France’s great¬est chanteuses, is dead. Some willremember her as the half-starvedwaif in the gutters of Paris. But inher autobiography, the artist her¬self reveals another Piaf—a strong,willed, quick-tempered, proud andfantastically courageous woman de¬voted to the life of song.Edith Piaf often said that one hasan obligation to suffer; it was anobligation that she fulfilled bravelyand unflinchingly. Deserted by bothparents when two months old,raised by a grandmother of dubiouscharacter, her life soon became adesperate search for love and hap¬piness. After two unhappy affairs,she met Louis Leplee, who gaveher the love and security she hadlacked as a child, and who chris¬tened her Piaf, “little sparrow.”One night Leplee was mysteriouslyand brutally murdered.Happiness was again brieflyglimpsed in Marcel Cerdan,France’s boxing champion. But hewas killed in a plane crash on theopening night of Piaf s first concertin Carnegie Hall. Three years later Piaf married singer Jacques Pilles,but the marriage ended in divorce.The final years of Piafs life werefilled with physical as well as spiri¬tual suffering. Internationally fam¬ous, substantially wealthy, intense¬ly lonely, she repeatedly upset con¬ventional propriety with her affairswith men half her age. Her mar¬riage to the young singer Teo Sara-po was her last bid for happinessbefore her death of cancer in 1963.Piafs hardships did not create abitter and withdrawn woman. They did help to create an artist. Piaf un¬derstood her audiences, and part ofher uncanny power was her abilityto make them feel with her the painand sadness of lost love, the despairof loneliness, the fatigue of search¬ing, the joy that love can bring. Sheseemed to transcend herself in eachsong. Cocteau wrote of her, “Thesoul of the street filters intoevery room in the town. It is nolonger Mme. Edith Piaf whosings ... it is the rain that falls ... itis the wind that blows... it is the moon as she spreads her mantle oflight...”But Piaf was more than a tearand a song. She was also the warmwoman who “adopted” French sol¬diers during the war, performed forwar orphans and widows, aidedYves Montand and Les Compag-nons de Chanson in their careers,even acted in film. All that she didwas accompanied with the honestyand emotion that many foundshocking. But it was precisely thelack of device and mannerism thatconstituted the great artistry withwhich Piaf touched her music andthe lives around her.~ Piaf tells her story well. TheWheel of Fortune is filled with rec¬ollections of the people she knew. . . her father, Charlie Chap¬lin, Leplee, Pilles, MarleneDietrich, Cocteau. The book recallsthe hard life in reminiscent but un¬bitter tones. Piaf was the pitifulwaif, but also the gifted artist whosuffered intensely but nobly. Shelived her life fully, openly and withno regrets. It is characteristic ofPiaf that the prevalent note of herbook is pride, pride in her successand joy as a chanteuse, and pride ina life which left the gutter to fillthe cabarets, music halls and heartsof the world.Mary Lu KozelMiss Kozel is a second year studentat Valparaiso University majoring inFrench and philosophy.Room at the Bottom18 Stories, by Heinrich Boell,translated by Leila Vennewitz.Grove Press. $5.50.Like most recent figures in Ger¬man literature, Heinrich Boell wasintimately affected by the upheav¬als in Germany during the first halfof this century. Born in Cologne in1917, his earliest memories, ashe describes them in an auto-*■ biographical essay, consistof “Hindenburg’s returning army,gray, orderly, without comfort, movgray, orderly, without comfort, mov¬ing with horse and cannon by ourwindow; from the arm of my moth¬er, I looked into the street, whereendless columns marched towardsthe bridge across the Rhine.” Hesums up his recollection of adoles¬cence and early manhood with thewords: “Their fathers had no work.Unrest, strikes, red flags when I"ode my bicycle through the over¬crowded sections of Cologne toschool. Then a few years later, theywere all given jobs: they becamepolicemen, soldiers, executioners,and mobilization workers—or theyleft for the concentration camps.”Eventually, Boell, too, became a sol¬dier; and it was only after the war,in 1946 and 1947, that he, as hesays, “found his words.”A collection of the stories Boell told when he “found his words” hasrecently appeared in translation un¬der the title 18 Stories. The trans¬lator is Leila Vennewitz, who alsotranslated Boell’s novel, Ansichteneines Clowns (The Clown). The sto¬ries were written over a period ofnine years, from 1950 to 1959, andappeared originally in several collec¬tions. Ranging from humorous andsatirical to lyric and sometimestragic pieces, they provide an ex¬cellent cross section of Boell’s work.Indeed, 18 Stories displays clearlyan artistic ability which is in no waylimited to portraying the horrors ofa war—as is much of the literaryeffort of post-war Germany.Most definitely the impact ofBoell’s experience as a German cit¬izen and soldier cannot go unno¬ticed in 18 Stories. In some sense,he belongs with Brecht, Borchert,Sartre, and the others who havecommented in fiction on the insani¬ty of the Reich. Political, social,and, above all, personal disruptionmakes its presence felt in many ofthe 18 Stories. But it is never therebodily—there are no scenes ofdeath, no bombs, no secret police orsuicides—there is only the reflec¬tion of this catastrophe in the livesand thoughts of the individuals whoendured it. Sometimes this reflec¬tion is so subtle and dim as to gounnoticed; sometimes so immediate and brilliant as to be crushing—butit is never belabored, and neverprevent.- Boell from exploring situa¬tions in which fresh, joyful, or evenslapstick elements predominate.“My Uncle Fred,” for instance,deals with the war. Uncle Fredcomes home from soldiering to aravaged town and revives the prac¬tice of selling flowers on the streetcorner. There is hardly enoughmoney in town to buy food, yet,within a year, Uncle Fred is a richman. And within the space of a fewpages, Boell plants a suspicion in hisreader’s mind that the townspeoplehad a rather desperate hunger forsomething beautiful.“The Post Card” also deals withthe war, perhaps most directly ofall the selections in 18 Stories. Yeteven here, the events are portrayedas a reminiscence, so that emphasisfalls on the long-term effects of theexperience rather than its gross¬ness. And the entire influence ofthe Third Reich is deftly transmit¬ted to the situation simply bymeans of a mineographed post cardand a newspaper headline. We areintroduced to a young man who hasjust received his first responsibleposition with a firm and a vacationto go with it.

This section encompass¬es Roethke’s universe from meta¬physical greenhouse to a dark timeof mental anguish, from love poemsto long Whitman catalogs, from theclose formal poems of the metaphy¬sical sequence to the ramblings ofthe North American collection.There are poems like “In aDark Time,” unusual for Roethkein its intellectual, analytical ele¬ments, the formal arguments withself, and the metaphysical preoccu¬pation with death, physical love,and God. This is a different, some¬times very vague flavor for his sub¬ject matter.Whait’s madness but nobility of soul „At odds with circumstance?Dark, dark my light, and darker mydesire.My soul, like some heat-maddenedsummer fly,Keeps buzzing at the sift.

All through his poetrythere is a yearning for escape fromhimself, union with nature andeventual formation of his ownbeing. It is this psycho-spiritual de¬velopment which prompts Roethketo ask, “Which I is I?” Perhaps hisproblem is best expressed in “TheTree, The Bird.”I was a finger pointing at the moon,At ease with Joy, a setf-enchantedman.Yet, when I sighed, I stood outsidemy life,A leaf unaltered by the midnightscene.Part of a tree still dark, still, deathlystill,Riding the air, a willow with itskind,Bearing its life and more, a doublesound,Kin to the wind, and the bleak whist¬ling rain.This urgent quest explains themanic-depressive feeling, or alter¬nation in poetic feeling between ex¬ treme joy at his state in the worldand a fear of nothingness.Something must be said, too. ofthe delightful children’s poems, IAm!

Why were such finepreviously published poems as“Frau Bauman” left out of this edi¬tion? Why were the previouslywithheld poems published at all?Some of them, “Gob Music” and“The Saginaw Song,” are pubsongs.

As he gatherstogether the few things he willneed, the young man is suddenlyseized by the feeling that the roomand all his belongings have simplybeen taken away by the message onthe post card. The story’s final im¬plication is that he has not onlylost his room, but something muchmore vital as well—his integrity asan individual. When the reminis¬cence ends, a much older manspeaks tragically of the “opportuni¬ties for advancement” within hisfirm. How far must one advance be¬fore he can afford the barest neces¬sities of a personal life?“The Post Card”—along with“Like a Bad Dream,” “The BalekScales,” “The Adventure,” and“Daniel the Just”—bears compari¬son with the work of another figurein German literature, Franz Kafka.In these stories, Boll creates amood of heavy futility like that ex¬uding from Kafka’s works. Both au¬thors have a strong awareness ofthe forces of organized society—huge machines and sprawling sys¬tems which employ neither sensenor sentiment in their movements.And each author, after his ownfashion, deals with the fate of nor¬mal individuals who do not have the fantastic powers necessary to resistthe onslaught when these forcesturn on them.Several of the stories are satires.In “Action Will be Taken”, Bollparodies the finger-in-every-pot ex¬ecutive dynamo of the businessworld: the sort of man who “hasmade a name for himself support¬ing seven children and a paralyzedwife by working night shifts in hisstudent days, and successfullycarrying on four business agencies,besides which he had received twodegrees with honors in two years.”When does he sleep? He outlawedthat years ago...In three more stories, each show¬ing a strong satirical bent, Boll hascreated a number of new profes¬sions to swell the burgeoning prof¬essionalism of our age. The Throw¬er Away has perfected his theoryof disposing and is already hard atwork on the theory of unwrapping.In “This is Tibten,” a man educatedat five universities—holder of twoacademic degrees—is totally en¬grossed in the fine points of an¬nouncing “This is Tibten. Passen¬gers wishing to visit Tibten shoulddetrain. . .” whenever a train pullsinto the Tibten station. Perhaps asign on the platform would do justas well, but our friend feels he has a significant position compared tosome of the educated men heknows. In “The Laugher,” Boll re¬lates the story of a professionallaugher—a gifted individual, thebest 18th-century man in the busi¬ness—who has, sadly enough, neverheard his own laughter. Boll has alsocreated a story about a new kind ofamateur. Dr. Murke, of “Dr.Murke’s Collected Silences,” clipsthe periods of silence from culturaltapes at the radio station where heworks, splices them together, andfinds the extended silence most re¬freshing when played during hisleisure hours.Whether japing with satire orfrightening with scenes of mechan¬ized life, Boll writes sympathetical¬ly of the little man. His heroes —heroic in anything but the Prussiansense of the word — resist the lock-step of a life “gray, orderly, with¬out comfort.” They try, with var¬ious degrees of success, to live ascontentedly as humans ought.

Gobs ofWorldWar IIThe United States Navy in WorldWar II, by S. E. Smith. WilliamMorrow. $12.50.It is improbable that the SecondWorld War will be forgotten; butjust such a fear has produced yetanother volume on the subject, TheUnited States Navy in World WarII. To call it “the one-volume histo¬ry” is to stretch a point though. It isin fact a disconnected string of an¬ecdotes lacking both perspectiveand objectivity.As might be expected, the arti¬cles are by no means of equal quali¬ty, and the straight chronologicalordering only stresses the differ¬ences. Some of the betterselections—those that hold thereader’s attention and concern thewar in general—are those of thetop-ranking participants. MacAr-thur’s recounting of the evacuationfrom Corregidor, for example, isterse and dramatic without flam¬boyance.The professional writers, howev¬er, produced the best pieces. ErniePyle’s study of the men on the boatsoff Sicily, John Mason Brown’shour-by-hour description of battlestations, Ernest Hemingway’s ac¬count of his ride into the Normandybeaches, while not concerned withthe war as a whole, are wonderful,literate accounts of men at sea andat war.Mr. Smith was apparently unsureof his purpose when collecting hismaterial. He states in the introduc¬tion that he wishes to educate a gen¬eration ignorant of the war aboutthe Navy’s role in it. But the bookfails, largely because it is not a uni¬fied, concentrated account. If Smithhas attempted to convey the confu¬sion of war, on the other hand, hehas succeeded admirably. Instead ofa solidly constructed anthology ex¬plaining the nature of the Navy’sparticipation in the war, he has puttogether a potpourri of fact andopinion, minor detail and unbal¬anced propaganda—and blames anyimperfections on his contributorswith a facility of judgment usuallyreserved for book reviewers.If the purpose were to inspireyouth with a sense of patriotism anda respect for courage, the editor hasalso succeeded very well, for he haspresented a collection of partisan,personal and many times prejudicedviews of war action. But history isnot admonitory. Nor is it didactic.And, in any case, one suspects thatthe book is aimed more at WorldWar II veterans who want to re¬member their epic accomplishmentsthan at their children.Stephen J.

On sale November I.November, 1966* • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW •!!Through a Class DarklyGiles Goat-Boy, or The RevisedNew Syllabus, by John Barth.Doubleday and Company. $6.95.Thomas Wolfe had Maxwell Per¬kins to edit his gargantuan novels;John Barth, on the face of it, hasnobody—and the result is GilesGoat-Boy. Strictly speaking, therewas little the gentlemen at Double¬day could have done about thebook, for unlike Wolfe’s novels,which contain a ha’pennyworth ofessential structuring material to anintolerable deal of impressionisticdrooling, Giles Goat-Boy fails pre¬cisely because it is over-structured.Within the same 710 pages (plusxxxi pages of introductory appara¬tus) Barth has attempted to includea plot-ridden novel, a satire on themodern world in general, and a phi¬losophy of life. None of these ele¬ments is subordinated. Barth hasleft them at equal strength to fightit out for the reader’s interest, andthe result is an extremely diffusepiece of work, more ambitious, butin the last analysis inferior to hislast novel, The Sot-Weed Factor.The final irony about Giles Goat-Boy is that none of the basic ele¬ments would have been bad by it¬self. The plot, considered alone, is acompelling one, and only becomeswearv-making as it is interlacedwith the other qualitative parts. Asin The Sot-Weed Factor, Barth hascreated a plot of the Young-Man - from - the - Provinces type.Shorn of its satirical elements, thebasic structure of the plot rather re¬sembles that of the greatest Young-Man-from-the-Provinces novel, TomJones. Our hero grows up in a nat¬ural setting, a “green world” (inthis case a goat-farm); he is good, asan animal is good, but he has noneof the civilized virtues, and none ofthe mechanisms that allow civilizedman to defend himself against hisfellow creatures. For reasons of hisown, he undertakes a journey to themetropolis, and what he finds thereamuses, amazes, but finally cor¬rupts him. He makes a moralvolte-face (de rigeur in comic novelsof this type), and establishes him¬self once more as a moral center ofthe novel, improved, however, overhis first appearance. The happy ani¬mal has become the happy man.Barth’s method of telling this sto¬ry makes frequent use of certain ofFielding’s more unfortunate de¬vices. Principal among these is thedigression. Whenever we are intro¬duced to a new character, Barth in¬sists upon telling us his life’s histo¬ry, and Barth has never been briefabout anything. Naturally, nothingmentioned in these enormousdigressions ever has much effectupon the outcome of the plot; ingeneral, they serve the satiric endsof the book. But in doing so, theypull the plot out of focus, becauseevery character so treated becomes(to Barth) a legitimate subject ofplot later; each becomes a separate line of action. And it is not very farinto the book that the lines haveknit themselves into a net, a springewhich entangles not only our hero,George Giles, but also the reader.What a quibble is to Shakespeare, adigression is to Barth: for suchsmall pickings he would lose theworld, and be content to lose it.The main business, insofar as it isthe element least interfered with bythe others, is Barth’s satire on theworld. Just as Swift’s metaphor forhis great universal satire, Gulliver’sTravels, was a kind of human best¬iary, Barth’s is that modern zoo, theUniversity. In a way that is ascharming at first as it is tedious lat¬er, every aspect of life on this plan¬et is translated into the jargon ofAcademe: the Western world isWest Campus; this country is NewTammany College; the Bomb andthe defense system are the compu¬ter WESCAC, which sends out raysto destroy people by EATing them(EAT means Electroencephalic Am¬plification and Transmission). Simi¬larly, the Jews are Moishians, theNazis Siegfrieders, the JapaneseAmaterasus; Communism is Stu¬dent-Unionism and Capitalism In-formationalism. Except, as I havenoted, that it gets tiresome, the cen¬tral conceit which encodes the bookhas a brilliant satirical function, forby taking the world and its prob¬lems down to the microcosmic level,they are implicitly shown aspetty—like much of academic poli-t i c s —h o w e v e r serious in theirconsequences. And yet, for manyreaders, not even this functionwould be well served, for the mere translation from Barth’s termsinto our own requires a consider¬able amount of intellectual energy.As in this typical passage:Many semesters ago, in what his¬tory professors called the Rema¬triculation Period, the old WestCampus faith in such things as anall-powerful Founder and a FinalExamination that sent one forever toCommencement Gate or the Deano’ Flunks had declined. . . from anintellectual force to a kind of de¬corous folk-belief. Students stillcrowded once a week into Found¬er’s Hall to petition an invisible“Examiner” for leniency; school-children were still taught the moralprinciples of Moishe’s Code and theSeminar-on-the-Hill; but in practiceonly the superstitious really feltany more that the beliefs they rantheir lives by had any ultimatereality.And this theological briefing goeson, mentioning previously unde¬fined groups like the Pre-Schoolers(read Fundamentalists), Curricular-ists (read Calvinists), neo-Enochians(read Unitarians), and a host of oth¬ers, some completely obscure. Thesatirical aspects of this novel (un¬like most) improve upon secondreading, for only when one has mas¬tered Barth’s jargon is one in a po¬sition to appreciate the fine balanceof his wit.The weakest section of GilesGoat-Boy is neither the plot nor thesatire (although the two come precariously close to obscuring each oth¬er), but the structure of ideas. Atonce a parody and the quintessenceof the quest-novel, Barth’s booktakes George Giles, son of WESCACby the Chancellor’s daughter, fromthe Ag-Hill goat farm to a quasi-recognized position as Grand Tutor (read Saviour) of the West Campus.The action itself is properly a partof the plot, but the reasoning bywhich the Goat-boy establishes thetenets of Gilesianism supports—or,rather, should in theory support—the entire train of the action. Now,for the life of me, I cannot see thatit does; the theology itself is aperplexing blend of paradox andtruism which, structurally, is morebound together by the plot than abinding force itself. And to makematters worse, the entire train ofthought is tinged by Barth (as I seeit) with more than a dash of irony,which casts doubt upon the serious¬ness of the Goat-boy’s “call.” In¬deed, were this the only thing ofvalue in the book, Barth’s ironicambivalence about Giles would sendthe entire intricately planned struc¬ture crashing in an immense bath¬etic pratfall to the ground.The hell of it is that we can neverreally know how Barth felt aboutthe Giles’ claim to the Grand-Tutorship—nor even know, per¬haps, how he would have had usfeel. The theological sections arefascinating, fraught with the stimu¬lation of the possible, and yet Barthwill never allow us to rest upon asingle Answer. Even the Goat-boyhimself does not allow himself tostick to one Truth for very long:Max believed that a Grand Tutorwas a man who acted thus-and-so,who did the Grand-Tutorial work:Enos Enoch (Jesus Christ), Maxargued, said Love thy classmate asthyself because to love one’s class¬mate as oneself was a Right Ans¬wer. . . I on the contrary had some¬times held that to love one’s class¬mate as oneself was correct only because Enos Enoch so commanded;that to hate oneself and one’s class¬mate would be just as correct in¬stead had He commanded that. . .But now I felt that we both had beenin error:. . . in truth the doer didnot define the deed nor did the deedthe doer; their relation (in the caseat least of Grand Tutors and GrandTutoring) was first of all that ofartists, say, to their art, and tospeak of freedom or its opposite insuch a relation w'as not meaningful.Thesis, antithesis, synthesis. Butnot for long. This Answer—arrivedat less than a third of the waythrough the book—lasts no longerthan it takes for the Giles to getaround to considering it. The finalAnswer—which I will not reveal—is typically Barthian, and there areparticularly Barthian doubts evenabout that. It is all terribly exciting,but it is exciting only as a game isso. Any comparison of the ideas inGiles Goat-Boy with those, say,which structure Herzog (and thereis no end of play in Herzog) isbound to be at the expense of theformer. Bellow’s games are serious,for they are a response to a seriousexistential problem; but there is no“problem” in Barth’s fantasy, andso the Solution, when it is found, isas much a matter of the author’scaprice as the rejected Answers.David H, RichterMr. Richter is a second-year graduatestudent in the department of Englishat the University of Chicago.12 • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • November, 1966Maroon InterviewAdlai III Cites Reform, Hits Party Rigidity(Editor’s Note: The following inter¬view with Adlai E. Stevensen IIIDemocratic candidate for IllinoisState Treasurer was held immedi¬ately preceding Stevenson’s speechon campus Tuesday. Stevenson wasinterviewed for the Maroon by EllisLevin.)Maroon: Mr. Stevenson why areyou running for the office of StateTreasurer?Stevenson: The treasurer’s officewas not my choice. I had hopedoriginally to run for the legisla¬ture, for re-election, but I wasasked by my party to run fortreasurer aud agreed to do so af¬ter studying the office and discov¬ering a number of unexpected op¬portunities to speak out on theproblems of state government.We have already detailed a verylong program for improving thetreasurer’s office. This will in¬clude, among other things, trans¬ferring certain responsibilities toother more appropriate agenciesand a novel program of technicalassistance on a voluntary basis tomunicipal or county governments,to help them with their financialproblems.1 have also suggested ways ofstreamlining the use of the state’sdata processing equipment so itwill be shared by the auditor’s of¬fice, the department of financeand the treasurer’s office. The of¬fice offers a number of opportuni¬ties, including such minor sound¬ing opportunities as telling thepeople in Illinois where their mon¬ey is. They can’t find out now.The present treasurer refuses toobey the law which requires fullpublic disclosure of deposits ofstate funds and investments. Iwould like to change this. First ofall I think the law should beobeyed and secondly, I think thedisclosure of this information willminimize the risk of state fundsbeing used for political purposes.Of course the Treasurer’s officeis a step up the political ladderfor me, and I hope this electionwill be an opportunity to provesome vote-getting ability. I wantto remain in public service therest of my life and this is perhapsa way of helping my political ca¬reer advance some.Maroon: Will the thrust of yourcareer be on the state level?Stevenson: I think the real chal¬lenge is in state government. Ithink state governmenV is at thecrossroads, either we are going toimprove the quality of state gov¬ernment and make it more re¬sponsive to the needs of the peo¬ple, or we are going to see it ab¬dicate political responsibility andgradually die. But the opportuni¬ties in Washington are interestingtoo. I would like to get involvedsome day in international affairs.But while I may have not learnedvery much in my short politicallife, I did learn one thing that pol¬itics is an arderous, unpredictablebusiness; so I don’t spend muchtime speculating about the futureand hope the opportunities willcome along and that I will be ableto take advantage of them.Maroon: What do you feel wereyour main accomplishments as astate representative?Stevenson: In terms of seeingbills enacted into law, I had a dis¬mal record. I sponsored a numberof routine bills that were enactedinto law, but the bills I was mostinterested in were all defeated inthe Senate. They were all bills de¬signed to improve the quality ofstate government. There was mylobbying reform bill simply de¬signed to force out into the openthe financial dealings of lobbyists,and a bill to give the governorinvestigatory and subpoena pow-crs to root out corruption andmefficiency in state government,a conflict of interest bill for Jegis- Adlai E. Stevenson IIIlators which representative AbnerJ. Mikva of Hyde Park and I bothintroduced; a bill to create an in¬tern program by which graduatestudents might serve in state gov¬ernment.There were others as well in¬cluding one to establish a com-missaon to begin to study what ifanything we should do to re¬structure local government in met¬ropolitan areas to make it com¬petitive and capable of dealingwith problems which are no long¬er local but regional in impor¬tance. These and other bills, alldesigned to improve the quality ofstate government were defeated.I think all of them I mentionedexcept the intern bill were passedin the House and then defeated bythe Republican majority in thesenate. These were the bills I wasmost interested in and becausethey were defeated, I guess thiswas a somewhat frustrating ex¬perience. Maroon: What support did you re¬ceive from the Democratic partyfor your legislation?Stovonson: There were sizableDemocratic majorities on all thebills which passed the House,partly on account of the statescandal, where tape recordingswere made which indicated brib¬ery in the legislature and impli¬cated some lobbyists. This gavethe lobbying bill and theconflict-of-interest bill a good dealof impetus. My lobbying bill forinstance was bottled up in com¬mittee and about to die, so wetook the fight to the floor andforced it out; and then it waspassed by a very large majority inthe House. The conflict of interestbill when we had gotten it out ofthe House Judiciary Committeepassed by a large majority. I hadto water down the subpoena pow¬er bill, but all my other legisla¬tion passed the House by largemajorities except the Student in¬ tern bill, and I never have beenable to quite figure out why thatwas defeated. . .except that itcame up right after the lobbyistbill and there was a sizeableamount of resentment about thelobbying bill and perhaps theytook it out on the intern bill. Wethe Democrats had a two-to-onemajority in the House and thesebills were probably passed bypretty large majorities on bothsides of the aisle. The IllinoisHouse you recall wais elected at-large and this meant that a lotof new, good people on bothsides of the aisle were elected.Maroon: How do you see your re¬lationship to the Democratic par¬ty?Stevenson: As far as I know myrelation with most of the leadersin the party is a cordial one.There are a few people lam surewho resent my rise, so to speak,in the party and feel that I havegotten away with a little bit moreindependence than they mighthave gotten away with. But on thewhole, at least among the leaders,they may not agree with me onall the issues, but they do respectmy right to disagree. If what youmean is am I going to lead someform of reform movement—athird party movement—I’d haveto say no. I think the way to im¬prove the Democratic party, andthis would be true as well of theRepublican party, is to work fromwithin, being of what influenceyou can to inspire good people atall levels to get involved in theparty and to work to improve it. Ihave been working hard to proveto the precinct captains in Chica¬go and downstate that lam work¬ing for the whole ticket, have theinterests of the whole party atheart, and have no personal mo¬tives in running for treasurer.Maroon: Do you think your opendisagreement with several pointsin the Democratic party platformand your support of Abner Mikvain the Second Congressional Dis¬trict primary show that you areparticularly independent of yourparty? Stevenson: There were otherswho took the same positions and Ithink you find in the Democraticparty a lot more independencethan you find in the Republicanparty. There has been a myth cul¬tivated and it is not entirely amyth, that everyone toes the par¬ty line and takes their orders inthe Democratic party. But youought to take a clo-se look at theRepublican majority in the Sen¬ate, where they caucus everymorning during the legislativesession, decide what the party po¬sition is and vote as one. There isno deviation what so ever fromthe party line among the Republi¬can majority in the Senate.In the house they were a lot ofindependent spirits like AbnerMikva from down here and BobMann, and many others. The freeplay of conflicting ideas is a goodthing. It has been one of thesources of strength of the Demo¬cratic party over the years. Tothe extent that there is rigidityand party discipline, I don’t thinkit is so much the fault of the lead¬ers. We want strong leaders inour political parties. We havesome stong leaders in the Demo¬cratic Party. Mayor Daley for in¬stance. The problem is down inthe rank and file who do not feelthat they’re free to depart fromthe wishes of their party leaders.I think they are perhaps a littlemore free when they do so, some¬times they’ll go out of their wayto infer wishes which really don’texist. This is true of Republicansas well as Democrats. They caterto every whim, some of whichdon’t really exist, to serve theirpolitical leader.I don’t think it is just a case ofserving political leaders. I think itis just as much the case in theRepublican party in the legisla¬ture and in the Democratic partyof serving the special interestgroups. The groups really sent therepresentatives to Springfield. Alltoo often your first loyality is notto the people, it’s to some politi¬cal boss or some special interestgroup.(Continued on Page Twelve)Baptist Graduate Student Center Autumn Sunday Seminar Series:4901 S.

Who Is The Best Anti-War Candidate?Panel Considers Senate Paceby Alfred Marcus ,Supporters of three senatorial candidates told how votersshould express displeasure with the war in Vietnam in the up¬coming election at a panel discussion Wednesday in the FirstUnitarian Church, sponsored by the Hyde Park Kenwoodchapter of SANE.George Watson, Professor of po¬litical science at Roosevelt Univer¬sity, claimed that it would be bestto vote for Senator Douglas be¬cause of his consistent liberal rec¬ord on domestic issues. Accordingto Watson, it doesn’t matter thatDouglas has essentially the sameforeign policy views as Percy be¬cause foreign policy is formed bythe administration and not by theSenate."BY ELECTING Charles Percy,the voter can register his disgustwith the Johnson-led, Douglas-supported policy in Vietnam,” statedattorney Richard L. Mandel of theChicago Voters for Peace. Accord¬ing to Mandel, a Douglas defeatwould be interpreted as an anti-Vietnamese war protest.Richard Flacks, assistant profes¬sor of sociology here, stated that itwas necessary to break with ourdependence upon the two-partysystem and experiment with otherforms of political action. A write-in-vote for Maxwell Primack, ac¬cording to Flacks, would help pro¬ mote the establishment of a “newpolitics” in America.The three speakers raised themore basic question of how peaceorganizations should react to a pe¬riod in American politics dominat¬ed by the war in Vietnam. Theyshowed concern with the problemof filling the gap left by what theycalled the traditional sources of lib¬eralism which have turned radi¬cally to the right.Watson and Mandel said theythought that it was not possible toform an effective third party andthat it was necessary to work with¬in the established power structure,ture.Watson asserted that it was stillessential to depend upon the tradi¬tional source of liberal politics inAmerica, the Democratic Party,while Mandel claimed he saw hopein the emergence of a vigorous lib¬eral wing in the Republican Party.Flacks, on the other hand, insist¬ed that the voter should be able toMyra Roper ToShow China Film think independently, entirely out¬side the framework of the Demo¬cratic or Republican parties. Hemaintained that the radical mustbe as emotional about his view¬points as the reactionary and thathe must enthusiastically support a“new politics” of his own.ACCORDING to Mandel, Doug¬las’ fanatic anti-Communism keepshim very far away from being atrue liberal. Concerning Vietnam,Douglas has been even more hawk¬like President Johnson because hehas suggested the use of nuclearweapons, he said.Roth Watson and Flacks calledPercy an extremely opportunisticpolitician who has readily changedhis views according to the situa¬tion. Watson praised Douglas forthe “integrity of never concealinghis convictions.”Mandel replied that wheneverPercy changed his views they be¬came more liberal. According toMandel, Percy supports an ex¬tremely sensible foreign policywhich recognizes that co-existenceis necessary.UNIVERSITYThe Art of Self Protection byIf our raincoats had belts, they’d be black.

The Foundation wantshim to report what developmentshave since been made in medicaleducation in the Far East.Page has also made fact-findingvisits to medical schools in theUnited States and in Europe. Students’ New Role In Rights Movement(Continued from Page One)little more than a formality.Moreover, UC’s Congress of RacialEquality (CORE), although activeseveral years ago, does not evenmaintain its registration. OnlyFriends of the Freedom Move¬ment, with from fifty to seventy-five members remain active, andwhile it helped to organize studentsfor the open housing march thissummer, David Greenberg one ofits founders, calls it “little morethan a mailing list.”Although Greenberg and othersare willing to concede that rightsorganizations have declined oncampus, UC’s rights leaders arereluctant to attribute the decline tothe “Black Power” philosophy pop¬ularized by Stokley Carmichael ofSNCC."I DON'T REALLY know howStokley affects most whites’ ” saidGreenberg. I would guess somepeople have been alienated, but itis unlikely that he has affected theones who are really committed.”“Students have not lost interest,”says Flacks. It is true that COREand SNCC no longer welcomewhite students, but those who wereconcerned with civil right havegone to other organizations likeSWAP and STEP. For studentsidentified with the Negro move¬ment, their past activity is no long¬er available. What they must donow is work at the grass-roots.“The trouble is,” Flacks contin¬ ued, “that campus organizations idea must be born to cope With it.have discovered the almost com¬plete impossibility of involvinglarge numbers of students in com¬munity development projects on apart time basis. It requires totaltime and total commitment to de¬velop the skills necessary to be ef¬fective, and students don’t havethat kind of time. If there weren’ta draft, there would be a muchlarger number of students goinginto this kind of work. But underthe present situation, this is practi¬cally impossible.”THE REVEREND A.J. Sampson,a civil rights activist from theWest Side Christian Parish, seemsto agree with Flacks that studentsmust find a new place in the civiPrights movement, but views theirpossibilities for future effectivenessmore optomistically.“As a result of Black Power,”Sampson said, “Students have hadto redefine their role. White stu¬dents have never profoundly un¬derstood the frustrations of the Ne¬gro people. Black power has madethem aware of the situation. Thosewho are committed will remaincommitted.The Race Dilemma“Black power isn’t black peoplerising up in rebellion,” Sampsoncontinued. “It is racism comingout into the open. Black power hasmade people understand thatAmerica’s dilemma is racism, andthere is a feeling around the cam¬puses across the nation that a new When that idea is born, studentswill come out iagain.”Although Sampson’s view isshared by many, other rights lead¬ers are more ready to blame TheMovement itself for decline in stu¬dent interest. “Civil rights hasnever really been made relevant toour own lives,” says Heather To-bis, ex-Chairman of UC’s SNCC.“The civil rights movement hasnever been made consciously polit¬ical. The civil rights movement inthe north has always had a support-ative relation to the one in thesouth. SNCC tried to change thatrelationship, but the project neverreally got off the ground.t. "THE STUDENTS here are iso¬lated,” Miss Tobis continued. I liketo call the Midway the moat. Moststudents have no idea of the slumwhich surrounds them except in anintellectual sense. Living in povc-rty is simply not a real issue formost students here.”LOUIE'S BARBER SHOP1303 E. 53 StreetFor a PERSONALITY haircut3 Chairs —No WaitingFA 4-3878Expert for Oriental HaircuttingThe Old vs. the Young.m Dovzhenko's EARTH plus Kirs.noff's MENILMONTANT at Doc Filins tonight.

Maroon: Where would you placeyourself in the political spectrum:| Stevenson: I find labels somewhatj obnoxious. Ask me where I standon any issue and I’ll tell you. Isuppose I’d be classified as amoderate Democrat. I think I’mprobably fairly near the center inthe Democratic party or withinthe whole political spectrum with¬in the country. But I don’t likelabels, they are very misleading.While I may be very far to theleft to your way of thinking onone issue, I may be way to theright on another.Maroon: Where do you stand onthe question of citizen political in¬volvement?Stevenson: I’m all for citizen in¬volvement. I think the days of themachine so called are numbered.The old techniques don’t work anymore. Machines used to and stilldo, to some extent, derive theirpolitical power from patronage,from doing favors for the people,and other techniques which justaren’t as effective as they oncewere. People don’t need all thefavors anymore, the patronagejobs are not nearly as desirableas they used to be, especially withnear full employment as we haveit in Illinois. At the same time onthe outside I think there is a rap¬idly awakening interest on thepart of people in their govern¬mental processes, particularly onthe part of young people. I wish Isaw more of it with respect tostate government. Bernard Shawonce said “democracy was just adevise for giving the people whatthey deserved.’’ Well if that’strue, we don’t deserve very muchin Illinois, because we’re not get-«'■ ting very much. I’d like to see ourpeople deserving a little bit more;I’d like to see them get more in¬volved, not just through politicalcampaigns, but also by taking anactive interest in state govern¬ment and “keeping the heat on.”They ought to be represented too.Governments respond to pres¬sures, and all too often the pres¬sures come from the special inter¬ests and not from the people. Andbesides patronage employees arenot going to do as an effective ajob as citizens out working fortheir candidate in the precinct.Maroon: I had something differ¬ent in mind and the way Iphrased the question is not quitecorrect. There are some politicalleaders in the Democratic partywho tend sometimes out of inter¬est, but often out of conviction, tostay out of some state races inwhich their machines might beable to influence the outcome. I’minterested in your views on that.Stovenson: I feel very stronglythat political leaders, and ofcourse it depends on the job youhold, should use all of the powerat their hands for the public wel¬fare, and that means among otherthings, using your patronage wise¬ly, for instance you could if youhad a great deal of patronage in¬fluence the election of countychairman throughout the stateseeing to it that you could helpget good county chairmen electedwhich is desirable because theyin turn see to K that good menare nominated for county andstate wide offices and in this wayyou improve the quality of yourown party. If you’re in a positionwhere you need help in the leg¬ islature and have a legislativeprogram, it can help get legisla¬tion passed. In my own case,if I understand you correct¬ly, I’d want to use every bit ofpower I could get to improve theDemocratic party, because I thinkit is necessary to try to do a goodjob in whatever office you hold.Maroon: Have you in the courseof your campaign laid any stresson national or international is¬sues?Stovenson: I haven’t laid verymuch stress on national issues.For a variety of reasons I havenot been talking about Vietnam.To a limited extent I have beentalking about national issues, butI’ve been trying to confine my¬self to state issues because I’mrunning for a state office andI’m very concerned about thequality of state government andI’m concerned about the survivalof state government. I’ve tried totalk about the treasurer’s office,because that is the office I’mrunning for and this too hasbeen a little bit frustrating,because my opponent doesn’ttalk about state issues as far as 1have been able to tell. He talksabout inflation and Vietnam andcrime and all kinds of so calledissues which really are not veryrelevant to state government andthe office for which we are run¬ning. My responsibility is to talkabout what I’m going to do in thetreasurer’s office, why I am run¬ning for the treasurer’s office andwhy I hope the people will electme treasurer. It seems to me weshould be talking about the issuesthat are relevant to that officeprimarily. But when asked aboutother issues. I talk about them.Culture Calendar■mm,..' -- —iu. : wmmm?«ArtART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO—20thCentury Art acquired within the last de¬cade: thru Oct. Landscapes by VeraBerdich; thru Oct.

The play concerns anepisode out of the immediate pastof the spectators, the career ofJean-Paul Marat, and Its intentionis to challenge the shared convic¬tions or delusions of that society,founded upon the revolution towhich it pays only lip-service andreflecting all the evils of the pre¬revolutionary society.IN FACT, the play b "a fami¬liar beast to man” and signifiesthe interpenetration of Hlueion andreality. The play is the Marquis’dream, because it is hig work ofart, and he makes the dream reali¬ty bfc’ producing it with real actors(who, being mad and unable todistinguish illusion from reality inthe first place, eventually accepthis dream as reality). Within this ambiguous context, the validity ofanything that cornea under thelights must be challenged, and thespectator is left with no truth atall but the experience of the playitself.It is clear, however, that if theexperience is to be a meaningfulone, a frame of reference, a basicreality, must be established to pro¬vide a point of orientation by whichthe audience may know when it isconfused. That reality must beCharenton and the fact of the Mar¬quis’ production. The illusion thatwe are in the bath house of theasylum must be complete for audi¬ence and actors to enter the samedimension, participate in the samereality, and dream the samedreams. Otherwise, the play mustdegenerate into pointless spectaclefor its own sake, and “nothing willcome of nothing.”GOODMAN THEATRE'S produc¬tion is not a perfect vacancy, but itremains for the most part a med¬ley of technical devices, a montageof disparate elements. It occupies aspace without filling it. The fault isprimarily in Charles McGaw’s di¬rection, and the blame is entirelyhis if you consider a director re¬sponsible for the general qualityand gravity of the acting.There is no consistancy in thechoices he makes. How can we be¬lieve that we are in the bath houseat Charenton when beams of lightstream from underneath the floor?When the lights obediently brightenor dim or turn red or amber atappropriate moments? When thedirector of the asylum wishes usgood evening while sunlight bub¬bles blithely through the window? Furthermore, McGaw has chosento follow a very bad precedent inhis staging of the sequence inwhich the Marquis de Sade is whip¬ped by Charlotte Corday. In thetext, Weiss directs that the Mar¬quis shall be whipped with a whip,thus providing motivation for hisexpressions of pain. Somebody (Pe¬ter Brook?) established a prece¬dent by directing Corday to per¬form the whipping with her hair,thus robbing the Marquis of anyreason for feeling pain. But therehe is, writhing dutifully as the textdemands. McGaw here subscribesto a kind of traditional inconsistan-cy for the sake of a rather dubiousspectacle.McGaw repeatedly fails to focusattention to the most dramatic ad¬vantage. A typical instance of thisoccurs at the beginning of theplays, when Marquis de Sademoves and shifts about his chair inthe midst of much movement withthe result that he is lost in the ac¬tion. Had he remained still, hewould have drawn focus at once.I BELIEVE this is a nearly im¬possible play to act. It requires theimpression of documentary realismin the representation of the in¬mates, the kind of realism seen inthe film “Freaks.” What the Good¬man company demonstrated lastnight was remarkable courage, butwhat they needed was the mimingof Alvin Epstein, the vocal varietyof Jonathan Winters, and the emo¬tional freedom, relaxation, andsheer chutzpah of Olivier. Brook’scompany lacked these elements;how could Goodman expect to dis¬cover them? First of all, young American ac¬tors and actresses, and expeciallymidwestern ones, should observeone cardinal rule: Never OpenYour Mouths. Because of yourehyecksints. Furthermore, nevertry to reach high emotion, becauseyou inevitably whine and screachand never really abandon your in¬hibitions. Don’t sing except in mu¬sical comedy because you alwayssound so pretty, like trained vocal¬ists, not like the rest of us. Or likelunatics.I exempt Lawrence Hart fromthis counsel, for he plays a madanimal of a lunatic like a mad ani¬mal and not like a poor creaturebreathing heavily with EMOTION.And I exempt Richard Ooms, whoplays Duperret an erotomaniac. Tothe rest of the company, I saywatch the guest stars, Jerome Kil¬ty and James Ray, both of whomgive weak performances beautiful¬ly, by which I mean that they havethoroughly assimilated their tech¬niques and have forgotten that theyare thespians. Their mannerismsare appropriate to their characters,and never degenerate into affecta¬tion. This is not sufficient to a fineperformance, but it is necessary.KILTY DOES NOT seem to takehimself seriously as the notoriousMarquis. In his debates with Ma¬rat, he is really arguing with him¬self, since he has written the play,and in arguing for the exclusivityof subjective truth, he arguesagainst the triumphant effect of hisplay, which is to make his subjec¬tive truth a shared, objective truthfor the inmate-actors. The effect ofhis play is his own exultant refuta¬ tion of his previous speeches asdevil’s advocate, and we must feelthat exultation. But when Kiltyclumbs on a chair and poses Napo-leonically while the reality of hisplay sweeps over the inmates, Icould only puzzle at this incon¬gruous whimsey. (And, by the way,is that really Kilty’s voice, or is itleft over from "Dylan"?)James Ray, though lacking Kil¬ty’s dynamic presence, gives amore solid performance as a para¬noid playing Marat, befuddled bythe confrontation of the Marquis deSade’s dream-reality and the sever¬al dream-realities he already con¬tains, but gradually, though nevercompletely, becoming possessed bythe play, so that we can see in hisdialogues with the Marquis, the dis¬tant merging of historical charac¬ter and paranoid actor.ALL THAT I have said, however,should not obscure the fact that, asa piece of theatre, and despite itsintellectual weaknesses, the pro¬duction runs smoothly and profes¬sionally. Awkward moments haveno time to embarrass, and thereare many exciting moments. Butthere is an intellectual density tothe play which has not been suffi¬ciently explored by either the Roy¬al Shakespeare or the Goodmanproductions. Until this vein ismined, the text of the play will re¬main a mere pretext for theatricaldisplay, on which level only themost extraordinary company of ex¬traordinary players could hope tosucceed.Richard EnoYou Can Have Pizza InNICKY'SANDRES Your Home Tonight!PIZZAAURANT"specialtiesof thehouse"Barbecue Baby Ribs—$3.25.Half Southern Fried Chick¬en—$1.75.

Atbest, assuming no further pollution, the nation will have a reliable daily supply of just 515billion gallons. The missing 85 billion gallons represent a challenge commensurate with thegreat scientific and technological explorations of this century. This is a challenge worthy ofour society's total commitment. The future existence and well-being of millions of peoplein the United States and elsewhere depend upon our coming to grips with this challenge;for clean, fresh water, essential to all terrestrial life, is in imminent danger of depletion.SPEARHEADING THE CRUSADEThe new Federal Water Pollution Control Administration has one of the most unique andall-encompassing missions ever granted a government organization It is to attack thegrowing water pollution problem nationally, regionally, and locally at the same time, doingwhatever must be done in these six basic ways:NEEDEDDV1980:NEEDED(and for years1/ AID TO COMMUNITIES—programs offering sanitary, civil, and industrial engineers the opportu¬nity to plan, initiate, and review grants for waste treatment plants so urgently neededthroughout the country.2/ ENFORCEMENT—because water pollution ignores political boundaries, experts in the field —bacteriologists, biologists, chemists, hydrologists, sanitary engineers, limnologists,toxicologists, and lawyers, too — are needed to identify pollutants, locate theirsources, and importantly, work with officials at all jurisdictional levels and citizens'committees to promote adherence to predetermined water quality standards.3/RESEARCH—thirteen water laboratories will ultimately operate in critical areas around the nation,each dedicated to specific research tasks or water conditions. This gives sanitaryengineers, chemists, biologists, bacteriologists, hydrologists, geologists, oceanog¬raphers, limnologists, soil scientists, epidemiologists, and toxicologists the chanceto attack the problem in their own area, in their particular specialty.Located three miles south of Aua.Oklahoma, the Robert S. KerrWater Research Center will servethe States in the Arkanws-White-Recf River Basin, the ColoradoRiver Basin, and the Western Gulfof Mexico Basin. This Center wiltconcentrate on curbing improperdisposal of brine wastes . . . find¬ing ways to prevent natural saltfrom entering fresh water courses. . development of advancedwaste treatment methods to per¬mit re-use of water . . . avoidingsurface recharge or undergroundinjection of pollutants ... and re¬ducing harmful effects on waterquality by minerals leached fromsoils by irrigation.4/ WATER BASIN IMPROVEMENT—comprehensive programs for each of the 9 major river basins,bringing the administrator, the planner, the economist, and the computer expert intothe new science of wafer management... into the building of mathematical modelsand the use of the latest data collection and retrieval techniques.5/ ESTABLISHING WATER QUALITY STANDARDS—vital action to let municipalities, industries, andother water users understand their responsibilities. Scientific and water resourcemanagement teams well-versed in the intricacies of water pollution control andabatement will be needed in FWPCA offices in almost every State.6/ TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE—must ultimately be increased many times in order to cope with thefuture's new and unexpected water pollution problems ranging from fish kills tocontaminated municipal water supplies from unknown pollutants. Great versatilityon the part of FWPCA sanitary engineers, as well as others skilled in the pure andapplied sciences, will be called upon to find adequate, immediate solutions to suchcritical problems.DRAMATIC GROWTH ALMOST INEVITABLEOver 700 career positions—many of them in engineering—are to be filled this first year;and this is just the beginning. What has taken decades to pollute will take decades to re¬claim. During this period, there will be dramatic growth within the Administration itself,plus scentific, technological, and managerial "spin-off" developments of individual signifi¬cance . . . i.e., processing and packaging of fish and aquatic vegetation for mass feeding,new insight into public health and immunology, commercial use of recovered wastes,conservation and economical re-use of existing water, and so many more that are beyondtoday's state of knowledge.INTERVIEWS ON CAMPUS TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8The FWPCA representative interviewing you will probably be a person with programresponsibility, either an engineer or a scientist; so feel free to ask detailed questionsand express your particular career aspirations. He will be offering career positionsstarting at the GS-5 level ($5331 or $6387) and the GS-7 level ($6451 or $7729), withhigher level positions open to those with advanced degrees.

Andit's on the level. Student-ownerRobert Ladum started out collect-'ing coins for a merit badge in theBoy Scouts. He eventually opened amail-order coin company andbought the No-Tell with the profits, jTo the dismay of Willamette’strustees, Ladum advertised in the;Willamette Collegian, and dominat¬ed his ad with a “No-Tell Motel orBust” headline. The ad revealedthat the No-Tell sports a “passion¬ate red” decor and is dominated by .the highest neon sign in town. Anattached coupon offered a twentyper cent discount for student pa¬trons.The administration has advisedthe Collegian that the ad was inpoor taste. Oregon State Police!have reportediy also shown interestin the establishment. Biology IgnoranceAt Knox College in Galesburg,III., students work through SENSU,Students for an Era of New Sex¬ual Understanding. It was formedithree years ago after studentsgiven a sample test showed a ser¬ious lack of basic biological knowl¬edge. ISENSU has recently expanded itsprograms and will write articlesfor the college paper and sponsorspeakers to “stimulate interest anddiscussion about sex and to dealcreatively with biological, psycho¬logical. ethical, or social problemsconcerning sex,” according SENSUchairman John Bodwell.Not everyone is so open to dis¬cussions on the subject. In WestVirginia, a Republican candidatefor the House of Delegates, MissBlanche Horan, called recentspeakers at West Virginia Universi¬ty the “ultimate in lewdness.”Miss Horan attacked the re¬search of Dr. William Masters andMrs. Virginia Johnson, authors of amedical survey on the physiologyof human sexual response, as “farworse than silly. It is things suchas this which are leading us downthe road to ruin.”WHEN ASKED if she had a solu¬tion to what she feared was theworld-wide spread of immorality,Miss Horan said, “Every individualshould go back to God.”Some students at Amherst Col¬lege wanted to deal with the mattera bit more straight forwardly. The student newspaper at the all-maleschool distributed questionnaires atnearby women’s colleges, Smithand Mt. Holyoke. The survey fo¬cused on disperrion of birth controldevices and information.At both women’s colleges thequestionnaires were confiscated bythe administration, ostensibly be¬cause they had not been cleared bythe school before distribution. TheSmith College newspaper editorstook up the idea and wrote theirown poll. They await administra¬tion approval.Survey CriticizedAt Holyoke, however, reactionwas more negative. A student edi¬torial blamed the Amherst men for constructing a poor survey and forfailing to use the proper channelsin its distribution. The editors saidthat the survey should have notedthat Massachusetts law allows dis¬semination of birth control infor¬mation only to married couples.The survey should have been fo¬cused, they sail, on the morality ofthe law rather than a policy deter¬mined by that law. The editors,hou'ever, did not proceed to ques¬tion the Massachusetts law. In¬stead, they dealt with the problemof confiscation of polls and meeklysuggested that students initiallyscreen any polls given to Mt. Holy¬oke women, for the administra¬tion’s final approval. THE AMHERST editor accusedthe Mt. Holyoke girls of avoidingopen discussion of sex and morali-ty.A male reporter at Whittier Col-lege, Whittier, Cailf., had fewerproblems when questioning womenon birth control. He personally in-terviewed women on his coed cam¬pus and found that pills are usedby a minority, but that their uSeamong underclassmen is increas¬ing.Several coeds were rather non¬committal about birth control, butdid have something to say. “imean, you just don’t go aroundtalking about that,” one replied tothe reporter.VIETNAM & CIVIL RIGHTSHear the Senatorial CandidatesMaxwell Primack — IndependentMayor Sabonjian of Waukegan — Democratic write-inPercy RepresentativeMANDEL HALLAdmission Free Mon., Oct. 312-4 pm"The Last Live Music Scene This Side of Istanbul"- SAM CHARTERS\ENTERPRISE PRODUCTIONSPRESENTSTHE CHICAGO BLUESMUSIC OF THE SOULFEATURINGHOWLIN WOLF3S0 POUNDS OF LOVE AND JOYMANDEL HALLSat., Nov. 5th, 8:30 P.M.
