Chicago Maroon75th Anniversary YearVal. 75-No. 26 The University of Chicago Friday, December 2, 1966“We Won’t Go" MeetingReady To Go Sunday...A. J. Muste.Lynd, and David Mitchell areamong the critics of UnitedStates draft policy who haveaccepted invitations to speak at the‘ We Won’t Go’’ conference to beheld here this Sunday.The conference, which is beingorganized by a committee of 32 UCstudents who have publicly statedtheir refusal to serve in Vietnam,will be held on the same day as theStraughton will be organized in two afternoonsessions at Judd Hall and four eve¬ning workshops at Ida Noyes Hall.These workshops will include dis¬cussions of draft resistance, andeach workshop will have severalexperts on the topic to lead the dis¬cussion.AT THIS POINT, the student or¬ganizers of the conference are un¬clear about any plans for the fu¬ture According to Tom Gushurst,one of the official spokesmen forthe group. “The conference is justopening day of the University’s In¬ternational Conference on theDraft.ACCORDING TO A statement re¬leased by the students organizers,the University conference is inade¬quate because it starts out with theassumption that the draft is an un¬avoidable necessity. The studentsfeel that this leaves out basic ques¬tions which ought be discussed.According to Guy Twyman, one ofthe student organizers, “The Uni¬versity-sponsored conference hasbeen called to discuss not the warin Vietnam but the best method oftapping the country’s manpower re¬serve to support that war.“There is little evidence, “hecontinued,” that much attentionwill be paid to the role of individualconscience in the decision of killingother human beings.”The “We Won’t Go” conference a beginning to get things startedand to start people thinking aboutthe subject. We definitely havehopes for the future, but their exactform has not been decided yet. Butwe certainly aren’t going to stopwith the conference.”* ir m '' “Last MaroonThis is the last Maroon ofthe quarter. Our next issuewill come out on Friday,January 6, 1967.

AikenIt’s official—tuition will go up to $1980 a year for most UC students next year.This is an increase of $90 per quarter, or $270 a year, over the present rate of $1710.The increase is an attempt to cut down a projected “intolerable deficit” which isprojected for the current year. At present, the deficit is estimated to be at least $4 million,perhaps as much as $4.5 million.This includes the additional reve¬nue from tuition.COMBINED WITH a small over¬all increase in enrollment, thehigher tuition according to Dean ofStudents Warner A. Wick willbring in about $3.4 million. How¬ever, student aid funds drawn onthe unrestricted general fundsavailable wlil be increased about$1 million, so the net increase forgeneral funds from the tuition in¬crease will be only about $2.4million.The anticipated deficit in the cur¬rent year follows an actual deficitof $1,193,000 for the fiscal year thatended last June 30.Budget UpAs University President GeorgeW. Beadle reported in his “State ofthe University” address November18, “The regular academic budgetsof the university have increased inthe past two years from $46.3 mil¬lion to $56.3 million—almost a 22percent rise.”“The money which the University Warner A. Wickhas been receiving in regularcourse, through endowment in¬come, gifts, tuition, and othersources, has been insufficient tomeet the needs of this expandingbudget,” Beadle said.THE ONLY exceptions to theRiesman Accounts forAcademic Non-Blessing ...As University’s Conference NearsExperts have begun assembling on campus ask the question: Can a country be draft-free without feeling half-safe?UC’s conference on the draft, which begins Sunday, will consider the many alternativesumphs, it must be restrained i sugested for the present system.

This session, atthe Palmer House downtown, willbe in two parts in the afternoon new tuition rate will be students inthe Graduate Library School,whose tuition will go up from thepresent $1260 to $1710. This in¬crease for the Library School wasforecast in this year’s Announce¬ments, published in July.Hike Zaps ClergyStudents in the ministerial pro¬gram had been lower because “Wegram are also paying a lower-than-usual tuition of $1,005. Thiswill no longer be the case, howev¬er.William N. Weaver, Dean of Stu¬dents in the Divinity School, saidthat tuition for the ministerial pro¬gram had been lower because “W’eare competing for students withother divinity schools, which havesubstantially lower tuitions.” Heforecast the higher tuition will af¬fect the school’s recruitment, butnoted that the school has its ownendowment, and will be able toprovide substantial student aid.FINANCIAL AID for students inall departments will be increasedwith money from the general fund,Wick said. Last year. $4,047,000went from the general funds to stu¬dent aid, compared to an estimated$4,356,000 in the current year. Itwill rise to an anticipated $5,360,000next year.Total student financial aid in¬cludes funds from outside sources,such as U.S. government programsand national fellowship programs.These sources brought total aid to$6,705,800 for the past year.

Activists arealso disproportionately Jewish, andtend to come from recent immi¬grant stock, his study found.Only about one-third of the activ¬ists in the large sample of Chica-go-area students, however, saidtheir political position was “social¬ist,” while more than half saidthey were “highly liberal.”Those in the “non-activist” con¬trol group were predominately inthe “moderately liberal” class (43percent), with almost three out often in the “moderately conserva¬tive” group, and two-tenths callingthemselves “highly liberal.”From Liberal FamiliesWhile all students reported opin¬ions more liberal than those oftheir parents, there was a signifi¬cant gap between the parents of ac¬tivists and those of non-activists.Clearly, student activists arelikely to come from liberal, politi¬cally active families.They are also likely to comefrom families in which “permis¬sive,” “democratic” child-rearingpractices are used, as shown bythe parents’ own reports.THE HOMES of activists werealso those in which values otherthan material wealth are fostered.These differences in values and aspirations were paralleled in theinterviews with parents of activistsand non-activists.'Romantics' 'Humanitarians'Flacks rated students on four“values patterns:”• Activists are high in “romanticism,” which he defined as “senM-tivity to beauty” and. more broadly, “explicit concernwith., .feeling iand passion,immediate and inner experience”• They are also high in “intellectualism,” concern with ideas.• “Humanitarianism” is also atrait of activists, who are “concerned with the plight of others”and place high value on egalitar¬ianism.• Activists are low, however, in“moralism and self-control,” de¬fined as “value on keeping tightcontrol over emotions, adherence toconventional authority and morali¬ty, reliance on a set of external ininflexible rules to govern moral behavior.”CUSTOM PROGRAMMINGCARD PROCESSINGKEY PUNCHINGCALL MRS.

Jarnsedt, Consul General of j U Mich Students Sit-In Against RankANN ARBOR, Mich.—Some 1500 University of Michigan students followed throughTuesday with their threat of a Chicago-stvle sit-in to emphasize demands for a greater voicein university decision-making.As the Maroon went to press last night, asecond sit-in appeared likely.Sweden, recounted the history ofthe Nobel Prize. “I believe it istrue to say that the Nobel Prizesare almost universally consideredto rank among the world’s highesthonors. I understand that some¬thing like an informal race existsamong the great universities, thewinner being the school with thelargest number of Nobel laureates.“The University of Chicago isamong the front runners in thisrace, as indeed it is in any fieldwhere it chooses to compete,” headded.President George W. Beadle add¬ed his congratulations. He spoke ofPresident Harper’s “dream of agreat community of scholars dedi¬cated to advancing knowledge,”and the fulfillment of this dream inthe University’s “scholar-teacherswho train more scholar teachers.”Beadle pointed to UC’s NobelLaureate “honor role that includesAlbert Michelson in Physics andKonrad Bloch in Biochemistry.” In of the nation.He added that it was wrong toattach too much weight to scoringinstitutions on this basis alone,“But I quickly add that it is equal¬ly erroneous to minimize the signif¬icance of the awards, for they aresymbolic of the kind of scholarshipthat is responsible for much of theaccelerating growth of human cul¬ture. The two awards we so joyous¬ly celebrate tonight represent thekind of creative scholarship thatdoes exactly that.”Beadle also noted, “This Univer¬sity cannot just quietly sit back andremain one of the great universi¬ties of the world. Every day andevery year it must demonstrateanew its right to that position. In asense it must be refounded and re¬created. And this takes determined,cooperative, and effective effort onthe part of all of us. At the centerof that effort, because they aredoing so brilliantly the work forwhich this University was founded, Students refused to consider aconciliatory move by the universi¬ty’s president, Harlan Hatcher, afull concession to their demandsand held the lunch-hour sit-in .attheir administration building asscheduled.HATCHER HAD only a day ear¬lier suspended a newly declaredban against sit-ins which had pro¬voked the controversy and called editor of the Michigan Daily, have floors.

Members of thepanel were Joseph Kirsner, profes¬sor of medicine and LatkeologyNorman Miller, associate professorof sociology and author of “Haman¬tash consumption as an index ofcultural alienation;” Edward Stan-kiewicz, professor of Slavic Lan¬guages and Yeshiva UniversityLecturer in Latke Symbology andHasidic Cuisine; David Orlinsky,assistant professor of social sci¬ences ani gastrotheology; andWarner Wick, Dean of Students andthe symposium’s “Note of gentili¬ty.”Tax Opens DialoqueTax opened the dialogue with aBiblical account of draft defermentcriteria which he claimed broughtthe symposium into focus as thealternative to the impending UCconference on the draft.After several minutes, Tax intro¬duced Kirsner, who, with the helpof electron microphotographs, dem¬onstrated that almost all structureswithin normal cells—mitochondria,nuclei, fat bodies, and so on—arelatke, or round, configurations.Only crystalline bodies can be con¬sidered microhamantashen, andthese are found only in abnormalcells. The latke is therefore charac¬teristic of normal tissue and thehamantash of abnormal tissue.Kirsner wound up his presentationwith a plea to abolish the rank. ORLINSKY, SPEAKING next,discussed his paper. “The existen¬tial revolt in Jewish cooking,” or“Rumblings from the interior.” Or¬linsky’s major thesis was two-fold:first, that God is an ideal gas; andsecond, that God is within us. Theproblem of religion, he said, istherefore not one of inspiration—but of expression.“In this age of repressive publicpoliteness,” Orlinsky noted “man isbloated with God, but dares notgive vent to this joyful music untothe Lord.” The Jews, he said, areto be credited with the first knowl¬edge of this principle, which is em¬bodied in the dietary laws. Onlygas-producing foods are kosher.“Kosher,” he said, “stands as theeternal guardian of the Jew’s abili¬ty to belch. It is the source- of theinextinguishable heartburn of theLord.” While television cameras record-for a re-examination of the rule ed the scene, Robinson led studentsby a student-faculty-administration from a rally point on the maincommittee.

Preliminary Plans for New BookstoreWith 40,000 Square Feet of Books Toldby Cathy SullivanVery preliminary plans for a new Bookstore that wouldinclude over 40,000 square feet of space devoted solely tobooks were revealed by Charles F. Hughes, the Bookstore’snew manager.The new bookstore has no timeta¬ble for completion or for that mat¬ter starting, but Hughes said thatplans are formulated except for de¬tails. There is no definite site asyet.BEFORE ANY NEW bookstore isbuilt, however, Hughes is interest¬ed in the possibility of makingchanges in the present store. “Wehave to recognize the need for oth¬er items, because they are good in¬come-producing things, but there isa greater demand for books thanall other areas. No definite planshave been made at present for ex¬pansion of the hook section,”Hughes said.Hughes has not yet been ap¬proached by the student-facultycommittee on Bookstore manage¬ ment, but he feels that nothing butgood can come of anything thaimakes more apparent the needs olthe store.Hughes, who has just finished hisfirst month as manager, had pre¬viously been manager of the bookstore at Macomb County Communi¬ty College in Warren, Michigan.That school was comparable to UCin only one respect-number of stu¬dents. Hughes feels that UC ismore culturally oriented and the to.tal volume of Bookstore sales illus¬trates this.The Bookstore has over 23,000 ti¬tles in general books alone.

House Foreign StudentsDo Not Share National Gripesby Vivian GoodmanForeign students at UC do not seem to share the complaints about life in the U S. voicedin a recent national survey of students from abroad in U.S. universities.They do agree on one thing — the food here is bad.A recent survey for the U.S Office of Education Advisory Commission on International Edu¬cation reported a wide variety of Bonhoeffer in PerspectiveFinal Bethge Talk Duecomplaints from foreign studentsabout American education.A sampling of foreign students inInternational House failed to uncov¬er any strong gripes here—exceptthat it’s hard to find a decent meal.Faculty Relations GoodA large number of the studentsquestioned in the national samplingsaid that they have trouble es¬tablishing friendly personal rela¬tionships with faculty. The situationhere seems to vary for foreign stu¬dents in different departments.A Japanese student said thatgood faculty-student relationshipsare quite easily made in the geog¬raphy department. An Egyptianstudent of demography attributedthe close student-faculty relation¬ships in her department to the factthat there are so many foreign stu¬dents in demography and the pro¬fessors are very well travelled.ON THE CONTRARY, an Indianstudent finds the faculty fairly busyand hard to get a hold of. “There isno middle link between the studentand the senior professor.” ThePortuguese student feels it is aquestion of the department. “Thereis no special difference betweenAmerican and foreign students inthis regard.”Middle Easterners Critical?The Education study discoveredthat Middle Easterners are themost critical group of this country,while Far Easterners and Africansare the most isolated.It had never occured to any ofthe foreign students questioned atthe International House that Middle Easterners were especially dissat¬isfied with America. One Lebanesestudent did, however expressed in¬difference towards Chicago’s cul¬tural advantages.“Chicago attracts me in nothingexcept the University, the profes¬sors and the multiplicity of intel¬lectual activities one can engagein,” he stated. “What I loathemost is that one has to be cautioustaking a walk after 7:30 in theevening.”THE FAR EASTERNERS bytheir own report and in the opinionof other foreign students tend toband together. They eat together inthe cafeteria of the InternationalHouse and usually do not belong tocampus clubs other than the Japa¬nese Culture Association or the UCIndian Association.One Japanese student said of herfirst experience at UC, “At first ev¬erything was strange. I didn’t wor¬ry about adjusting to Americanlife, only about University life.” AnIndian student estimated that 90percent of the Indians who come toAmerica to study want to finish uptheir work as soon as possible. Hesuggested that this might be a rea¬son for isolation.Africans Alienated?As for the alienation of Afri¬cans,” I don’t think anybodyknows,” said Jack R. Kerridge, di¬rector of International House. Theopinions of foreign students hereare again in conflict with the na¬tional survey, although one Egyp¬tian woman did report she wasonce attacked by a gang of Negro girls who tore at her clothing be¬cause she was “white,” depite herprotests that she came from Afri¬ca.Quarter System QuestionedForeign students here have feweducational philosophy. “Everyonegrievances against the University’sis critical of the system to someextent,” said an Egyptian student,“because of the great differencesbetween systems.” Most Europeanuniversities have something likethe semester system, for example,and some European students dis¬like the quarter system because itrushes and controls the student toogreatly. -THE GOVERNMENT STUDYfound that 50 percent of all foreignstudents received advice on Ameri¬can colleges before they left theirhomelands. For the rest, family de¬cisions and the availability of fi¬nancial aid determined theirchoices of American colleges.The foreign students at UC comefor graduate study in the depart¬ments and under the men who arewell known in their country.An Egyptian student of demogra¬phy, for example, came to Chicagobecause of Philip Hauser, professorof sociology, who is very famous inEgypt. It was generally agreedthat UC is quite well known in theMiddle East. A Lebanese studentchose UC over Cambridge becauseof Muhsin Mahdi, an authority onIslamic philosophy, while an Indianstudent said he had met Donald J.Bogue, professor of sociology, dur¬ing Bogue’s two trips to India.Season’s Qreetings- TOAD HALL The man who helped intro¬duce the work of Dietrich Bon¬hoeffer to the world of theologyfeels that current interpreta- jtions of Bonhoeffer leave out animportant element of his thought.Eberhard Bethge, renowned au¬thority on German theologian Diet- jrich Bonhoeffer will present two jlectures on Bonhoeffer, tomorrowand next Wednesday at MandelHall at 4:30 pm. These lectures arethe final two of a series of eightlectures that Bethge has been pre¬senting through the autumn quar¬ter.THE PURPOSE of these two re¬maining lectures, according toBethge, to “keep in the proper per-1spective” the so called death ofGod theologians’ interpretation ofBonhoeffer.Bethge said in an interview that jalmost every work on the death ofGod begins with a treatment ofBonhoeffer. “But,” said Bethage,“they take out the dialectical ele¬ment. Bonhoeffer described modernman as being ‘before God, withoutGod’, but they leave out the ‘be¬fore,’ ” Bethge said.Bethge said he felt it was hisduty as Bonhoeffer’s biographerand editor to explain Bonhoeffer’sideas on nonreligious Christianity and show how they do not exactlycorrespond to the theory that Godis dead.Bethge was Bonhoeffer’s assis¬tant when he. w as the director of thetheological seminary of the anti-Nazi Confessing Church in wartimeGermany. Both were imprisoned bythe Nazis for their anti-Hitler activ¬ities. It was during this time thatBonhoeffer wrote his famous Let¬ters and Papers from Prison.Many of the letters in this w'orkwere sent to Bethge, who arrangedto have them published.BONHOEFFER was eventuallyexecuted by the Nazis, but Bethgeescaped execution and was re¬leased by the Russians in 1945.Hea t Expert FishmanCels UC /ppoinlmeniDr. Alfred P.

We do not. We dothink, however, that it is importantfor the United States to makechanges in the Selective Service lawssince the draft is not likely to bescrapped in the immediate future.A program of universal serviceseems to be the fairest and mostdemocratic alternative to the presentsystem of conscription.Universal service does not, ofcourse, imply universal military serv¬ice. Rather, every male, and perhapseventually every female, would givetwo years of his life to his country.Such a system would be an importantimprovement over present draft poli¬cy for two reasons.First and most obviously, a systemof universal service is eminentlymore fair. Even if everyone mightnot go into battle, at least everyone would serve. The knowledge on thepart of every male that he has anobligation to fulfill might work toeliminate some of the freneticdraft-dodging that has become a partof the American scene.Secondly, a system of universalservice, if handled with extremecare, could make the draft a con¬structive institution. Draftees whoqualify would be allowed to serve inthe Peace Corps or VISTA; drafteeswho didn’t qualify would be able towork in anti-poverty projects, help¬ing to rebuild the slums or workingwith adults and teenagers in theirown neighborhoods. Those who arenow rejected for mental or physicalreasons by the draft could fulfilltheir obligation to their country justbv letting themselves be rehabilitat¬ed.Two years of service would give allmale Americans something akin to acommon experience—the experienceof,doing something for their country.It might do a lot to heal some ofAmerica’s internal conflicts; conflictsbetween races and groups. It mighteliminate stereotypes like the anti-. /' 7, . . ....... . ■—. :' Semitic one of the Jew as draftdodger reported by sociologists. Uni¬versal service would undoubtedly goa long way towards smoothing overthe resentment that many working-class people with sons in Vietnamfeel for college students.It might be argued that choice ofservice would leave the army withoutanyone willing to go into combat.There may be some justice to thischarge, but we suspect that there willbe enough men willing to fight—or atleast go where the army tellsthem—simply because there will be amuch larger pool of manpower fromwhich the army will be able to draw.The system might work better withthe help of a type of balancing. Oneyear in the army might be worth twoyears in the Peace Corps, for exam¬ple.No matter what happened, howev¬er, the military would not have theone power it shouldn’t have: the pow¬er to force men to fight against theirwill. The army could offer strong in¬ducements to draftees and the otherbranches of service should be madesufficiently demanding and unro-■ i;, ■ - •<- - ? ■-' ■■ >-**Letters to the Editor of the MaroonSomething RemainsTO THE EDITOR:Something yet remains to besaid concerning the Maroon edito¬rial of recent date deploring theprojected tuition hike. In consid¬ering the immediate “squeeze”on lower-upper-middle-class fami¬lies with $10-15,000 per year, weneglected the long range effectsof the raise.: \ '/"; Consider: when I first came tothe University in 1961, tuition was$1050 per year. Next year, 1967,tuition will be $1980, an increaseof nearly 100% in six years. Atthis rate, tuition in the year 2003will be around $125,000 per year(students with slide rules ©ancheck me on this).So in 2003, everyone but a fewplutocrats’! sons will be on schol¬arship. The cost of education willbe determined for each incomelevel on a progressive scale. Therich will be ultimately soaked.When, 36 years hence, tuitionbecomes as progressive as taxa¬tion—with no loopholes yet—the mantic, but in a democratic country aman should not be forced to fightagainst his will.This new system might make JHUnited States more hesitant aboutMcalating wars like the one in Vilanam. It also could give men pride in?what they are fighting for, because]the decision to fight would be, jrjjfsense, up to the individual.Those who think Americans ; are]cowardly are wrong. Give Ameriellsoldiers something real to fightif jSand a system of universal serviceia88|individual choice will fill the nationalmilitary needs admirably.Our only major reservation regardling universal service is our fear thffsuch a system could work to disprcfjportionately increase the influence,ofthe military. To counter this trend!we would insist on greater civilian!control over the use of our men, noionly at the cabinet level, but atjtnjaintermediate level as well. We mugfsee to it that both the army and tnejjdraftees recognize that their obliga¬tion is to the people of America a'm|not to a military establishment. , ||:'W—B# . ■•V"' ' S , vUniversity began several yearsago as events open to anyone whowalked in the door, and after sev¬eral months were drawing fromthe entire city.

Bilingual Edition,translated by Herbert Marshall. E.P. Dutton and Company. $4.50.Any good poem unites so manyelements that it is impossible for atranslator to convey them all. Atranslation, therefore, can never be“complete,” and any critical judge¬ment of its success must include anevaluation of its incompleteness. Atleast two related qualities need tobe assessed—the translation’s biasand range.A translator is always selective,for at every point he is forced todecide which elements are to bekept and which disregarded. Bias,then, is the translator’s decisionconcerning the relative importanceof these elements—that rhythm ismore important than syntacticstructure, for example, or that sym¬bolism is to be rendered even at theexpense of rhythm. The bias of atranslator, of course, may vary withthe poet and the poem—perhapseven within a poem. But one meas¬ure of the aptness of a translationwill be the suitability of the bias tothe particular work.Depending on his skill, the trans¬lator will also be able to convey acertain number of what he consid¬ers “secondary” elements: this de¬fines a translation’s range. Giventhe bias, the greater the range, themore complete the translation. Thework of a translator biased in favorof rhythm, for example, will be im¬proved if he is able to transmit theimagery as well.With respect to both these fac¬tors, Herbert Marshall’s new trans¬lation of Yevtushenko’s poems clear¬ly fails. To begin with, his bias—acommitment to preserve rhyme—isinadequate for three reasons.First, rhyme is by nature un¬translatable. Words have “equiva¬lents” to the extent that there arewords in other languages with simi¬lar meanings. But rhyme is a rela-t i o n s h i p of sound, not ofmeaning—and there are no suchsound equivalents. Marshall, whofeels obliged to toss in a rhyme (anyrhyme) more or less whereverYevtushenko puts one (although hefrequently distorts the patterns ofthe original), assumes that allrhymes are equal—that a Russianrhyme can be translated by no mat¬ter what English rhyme. This be¬trays fundamental insensitivity tothe purely sonic elements ofpoetry—as if there were no differ¬ence between the rhymes of Shake¬speare, Pushkin and Ogden Nash. The second objection to Mar¬shall’s bias is that rhyme is not theprimary feature of Yevtushenko’spoetry. True, in the introduction tothe present volume, the poet men¬tions that rhyme is the most consist¬ent characteristic of his art—butthis is hardly reason to think it themost important. Yevtushenko ex¬plains that he uses rhyme primarilyas a self-imposed check on the free¬dom of his verse, and as an aid inmemorization. But since Marshallalready has well-defined limits tohis freedom (that is, the originalpoems), and since no one is likely towant to memorize his translations,neither of these arguments appliesto him.Finally, as a poet Marshall hasvirtually no sense of rhyme. In thepoem which he calls “A RussianToy—Roly-Poly”, you stub yourears on the following odd couples:arrows/morose, extinct/sick, recal¬led/at all, order/horses, and felled/unskilled. Compared with disso¬nances such as this, even his rhymeof “down” with “down” rings out asa stroke of verbal genius.Oddly enough, the inadequacy ofMarshall’s range is just the oppositeof what one expects of a rhymingtranslation. Most such attempts are LBTyLueHKOso constricted by the rigid patternto which they must adhere that vastportions of the original—oftenwhole lines at a time—remain unin¬corporated in the translation. Mar¬shall avoids this problem by makinghis versions so much longer thanYevtushenko’s that, even with therelative verbosity of English, he hasample room to maneuver. As a re¬sult, there are very few words orimages in the Yevtushenko poemswhich are not represented by anEnglish equivalent.Unfortunately, he always has toomuch room left over; and paddinggives his translations their greatestinaccuracy. One expects a fair num¬ber of uninvited “quites,” “thuses”and “indeeds” to show up, but Mar¬shall, perhaps a frustrated poethimself, is unable to restrict him¬self simply to filler words—he ex¬pands images, often elaboratingYevtushenko’s sparse verse to thepoint where it becomes unrecogniz¬able. It is bad enough that “waves”becomes, in Marshall’s rendition,“white waves,” or that a simple“she whispered” is raped, fillingout into a poetically pregnant “shewhispered tumultant.” But Marshallalso creates totally new visual pic¬tures: “The storekeeper pressing my elbow” becomes in translation,“the storekeeper by therail,/pressing my elbow, untying aknot. . .” (an addition calculated tomislead anyone searching for sym¬bol or metaphor).Such indulgences are not withouttheir price; occasionally the wholespirit of a poem is misrepresentedbecause of romantic embellishment.One of the clearest examples comesin the polemic “Verlaine,” whereYevtushenko preaches that the sameforces which try to crush a poetwhile he lives go on to quote andpraise him after his death. Thepoem ends, “You kill all poets,/inorder to quote them afterwards.”As in many of Yevtushenko’s mes¬sage poems, the Sunday-school at¬mosphere is slightly stuffy; butMarshall, by adding a dose of self-glorification and self-pity totally ab¬sent from the original (“All us liv¬ing poets you kill/in order, after-(Continued on Page Two)TABLE OF CONTENTSArt:Ecce Homo, by George Grosz 8 ||| Behavioral Science:On Aggression,by Konrad Lorenz 10|!

Harper & Row. $5.95.The New Theologian, which origi¬nally appeared serially in the NewYorker, purports to be a study oftheology today, particularly the “re¬ligionless Christianity” or “Chris¬tian atheism” movements in Ameri¬ca, England and Germany. Its con¬cern is not only theology, but alsothe theologians—the men and theirideas—presented as only VedMehta, scholar and wit, can.In fact, an apparently random se¬lection of theologians is presentedthrough reports of personal inter¬views and quotations from theirwritings. Both oral and writtenstatements from the theologians arerecorded virtually without commen¬tary except of an ad hominem na¬ture. The connective comments be¬tween extensive quotations fromBonhoeffer’s Letters and Papersfrom Prison typify Mr. Mehta’s cav¬alier treatment of theological argu¬ments: “It is somewhat confusing,but one has to remember the cir¬cumstances in which Bonhoefferwas writing,” or “Two days later,This Side(Continued from Page One)wards, to quote us”), twistsYevtushenko’s social condemnationinto a personal whine.While Marshall’s translationsrecreate most of the words and im¬ages of the originals, they are re¬markably sloppy when it comes toform. Key repetitions of words andphrases, often building to a power¬ful crescendo in the Russian, arelikely to be translated differently ateach appearance, as if Marshallwere trudging along line by line,with no conception of the wholepoem. Parallel structures are con¬sistently ignored. At one point, forexample, we have the words “beret,ushanka (a type of Russian hat),sombrero” followed a few lines lat¬er by “absinthe, vodka, chianti.”Marshall, indifferent to their con¬nection, translates them “shapka(another Russian word for hat), som¬brero, beret” and “absinthe, vodka,rum.” (As a result, the relation between the series is totally lost.)Of course, no matter how ap¬propriate the bias or how wide therange, there is yet another factorgoverning the success of a transla-t i o n —i t s readability. Marshall’stranslations are simply poor Eng¬lish. First, he has a pedantic pen¬chant for fancy phrases, most ofwhich obstruct the motion of thepoem. Marshall cannot say “we killourselves” where Yevtushenkodoes; he insists on proclaiming, “wedecree our own deaths.” The open¬ing of one poem, “Grave, you havebeen robbed by the fence” becomes,in an ill-fated attempt to recreatethe sonic splendor of the Russian,“Grave, you are by graven stonesgrave-bound.”More important, however, is hisconsistently awkward phrasing. multiplying the paradoxes, (Bon¬hoeffer) writes. . . .” Mehta’s in¬dictment of the so-called Christianradicals for muddle-headedness isscarcely original. Moreover, itseems to me that his examples oftheir confusion often reflect hisown unfamiliarity with the currentphilosophical and theological situa¬tion. Thus, Mr. Mehta sounds like aman who does not understand norcare to understand the argument;and what he does not know, he doesnot like—a sort of Gage Park men¬tality in intellectual matters.Fundamentally, there are twosources of dissatisfaction with TheNew Theologian: the one has to dowith the study of the men; the oth¬er, with the study of their ideas.The first is a problem of distraction,the second, a problem of distinc¬tions.In Mr. Mehta’s reports of his in¬terviews with the theologians, his“portraits” are more distractingthan humanizing. It is one thing tocharacterize a theologian throughrelevant details of his everyday life;it is quite another to describe everytriviality of a visit with one.of MoscowMarshall often reads like aparody—and the chuckle inspiredby a line like “. . . and over (theearth) so much filth is scattered—that of its own very self it’sashamed . . .” prevents the readerfrom treating the poem with anyserious respect whatever. Occasion¬ally the syntax is warped so far be¬yond idiomatic English that it is im¬possible to understand. (Without re¬course to the straightforward origi¬nal, one would be hard pressed tointerpret Marshall’s cryptic “Toh i m /s 1 a n t e d the world’severything” or “And maybe ideas(sic) nonobsolescence/bears witnessto ideas (sic) debility.”) It is clearwhy the decision was made to printthis volume with the originals on al¬ternate pages.Critics are parasites who suck theblood of artists for their own self¬nourishment, or so we are oftentold. True as this cliche may be, itapplies far better to translators likeMarshall. Since there are more crit¬ics than translators, a single criticseldom has the power to drain acreative artist completely—if youdon’t like the critic, you can alwayspatronize his competitors. But atranslator has his victim more se¬curely in his teeth. Unless anothertranslator and another publisherfeel that this particular market isrich enough to justify a competitionvolume, a number of Yevtushenkopoems have been rendered com¬pletely inaccessible to a whole gen¬eration of English readers. It’smore effective even than censor¬ship.Peter RabinowitzMr. Rabinowitz is a second-year grad¬uate student in the department ofSlavic language and literature at theUniversity of Chicago. Though some of Mr. Mehta’s ob¬servations are witty, many are triteand still others are misleading. Is itportraiture or caricature to epito¬mize Bonhoeffer with this line fromone of his letters, ‘“Could I pleasehave some tooth paste and a fewcoffee beans. . .?”Distinctions are crucial to the in¬telligibility and communication ofideas; they establish the possibli-ties and limits of dialogue as op¬posed to “indistinct cries.” Mr.Mehta recognizes that the problemsof theology today are problems ofclarity and conversation; yet hisown book demonstrates the samefailures.It is difficult to fathom thegrounds for Mr. Mehta’s selectionof these particular theologians—unless it be their appearance inTime magazine. Certainly, The NewTheologian is not a comprehensivereport on the contemporary theo¬logical scene. Significant personsand movements are wholly neglect¬ed, most notably the young and vi¬tal group of Whiteheadian or “pro¬cess” theologians—this despitetheir appearance in Time last year.Yet it is not really a report on aparticular theological movement ormood either. If Mr. Mehta’s subjectmatter is the “Christian radicals,”these theologians are presented un¬der false pretenses. They are notthe only “radicals.” Mr. Mehta nei¬ther quotes nor interviews ThomasJ.J. Altizer, who forms, with Wil¬liam Hamilton and Paul Van Buren,the triumvirate of American Chris¬tian radicalism. Nor are they all“radicals,” whatever that termmeans. In a sense, the only radicalthing about Robinson’s Honest toGod, the book which initiates Mr.Mehta’s inquiry, is its claim to beradical. Its eclectic borrowing fromTillich, Bultmann, and Bonhoeffer(long-established theological greats),together with its typical neo¬orthodox dread of naturalistic theo¬logies, does not constitute radicaltheology. It may be radicalpiety—which is, after all, BishopRobinson’s bailiwick.In any case, the “new theolo¬gians” represent a diversity of con¬cerns and methodologies. They usethe same language (“death of God”and “religionless Christianity”) tomean different things. If they areguilty of muddled thinking, Mr.Mehta’s failure to point out the dis¬tinctions in their ideas only com¬pounds the confusion.If Mr. Mehta’s concern is notmerely the “Christian radicals” butall theologians concerned with therelationship of the religious and thesecular, The New Theologian is afragmentary account. Paul Tillichemphasizes that theology shouldserve the needs of both the Chris¬tian message and the contemporarysituation: “(theology is) the state¬ment of the truth of the Christianmessage and the interpretation ofthis truth for every new genera¬tion.” Because Mr. Mehta minimizesthis dialectic, his analysis is condu¬ cive to a false sense of separationbetween old and new. Yet the conti¬nuity of old and new is preciselythe ironic assumption of Mehta’s ar¬gument. He overtly deals with nov¬elty (the “new theologian”), but onthe equally overt assumption thatthere is no real novelty; there isonly the perennial quest. He doesnot, however, recognize that the rhe¬ological task is always related toconcrete situations and is realizedin particular ways which involveelements of both continuity andnovelty.Furthermore, because the con¬cept of novelty in theology is mean¬ingless for him, Mr. Mehta has nobasis of his own for selecting thetheologians he does. Rather, he de¬pends on the “Christian radicals”for his definition of the “new theol¬ogy” and his selection of the “newtheologians.” Thus, ultimately, thegrounds for Mehta’s selection ofthese particular theologians seemsto be Robinson’s epithet, “theyspeak to the modem man.” One istempted to ask, “Why not NormanVincent Peale?”Mehta’s use of this criterion onlybegs the question—there is no suchanimal as the modem man or the“new theologian.” There are manydifferent modern men for whom avariety of new theological formula¬tions are illuminating. In this plur¬alistic situation distinctions are cru¬cial and the failure to make distinc¬tions between modem theologicalpositions is unfortunate. Unfortu¬nate, yes, but somehow appropriate,for Mr. Mehta’s snide characteriza¬tion of the modem intellectual fitsnone of the “new theologians” sowell as himself. The author of TheNew Theologian epitomizes, “a po¬lemical bent, a fast and easy pen,and an eye for the hemline in ideason war and politics, sex andreligion . . .”Lois Von GehrMiss Von Gehr is a third-year graduatestudent in Theology at the DivinitySchool of the University of Chicago.The Chicago Literary ReviewEditors-in-chief: Edward W.

Grove* Press. $5.00.Oh, my achin’ prurient interest!Another crop of porn from Grove, Press, which must by this time havea collective case of satyriasis. Howwill they get the books past thePostmaster General’s watchful eyethis time? Nothing to it: de Sade isa “classic,” of course; Classical Ero¬tology is a reference book, more or► less; and The Image isliterature—as much so, I guess, aslast season’s Story of O.The Image, a little piece of non¬sense written by “Jean de Berg,”raises fewer questions as literaturethan as pornography; for, taken as apiece of writing, it is a slight matterindeed. The formula, familiar toreaders of Story of O, is “girl meetsgirl, girl whips girl, boy meets girls,boy whips both.” Originallypublished in France by Editions deMinuit in 1956, it suggests the sort of “variations on a theme” whichthe author of Story of O might haveattempted in the wake of his moresuccessful novel (Histoire d'O firstappeared in 1954).I rather suspect, in fact, that“Pauline Reage’' and ^‘Jean deBerg” are one and the same per¬son. (I further suspect that the au¬thor of both books is male, but myreasons would tell more about my¬self than about the novels.) Mygrounds for believing in the iden¬tity of the two are rather shaky:for one thing, “Pauline Reage’s”introduction to the Grove Pressedition of The Image coyly hints atit; for another, both books are writ¬ten in the same flat, undistinctivestyle; for a third, their fetishes arequite similar.i As literature, The Image is inde¬fensible, but it is this very fact thatmakes it interesting as porn. Herewe have a book which, for all itsfnodern techniques and ideas (a lit¬tle symbolism here, a little existen¬tialism there) is basically masturba¬tion literature.Story of O, it may be admitted,was a borderline case, for the por¬trayal of sadistic acts was directedat characterizing O’s peculiar styleof femininity—O becomes a saintand martyr to sexual cruelty. TheImage, on the other hand, has no such object in view, and scenes likethe following are effective only tothe extent that they arouse thereader:The knowing hand moved towardthe sex, from the rear, and onceagain disappeared into the crevice.I could hear Claire murmuring:“She is soaking, the little darling. . .,” and after a while: “It’s areal lake.” Her thumb, easily find¬ing the orifice, sank in up to thehilt, withdrew, and plunged inagain. Anne began to moan. Hermoans got longer, and harsher, asthe caress continued, the handmoving to and fro between herthighs.Grove Press is assuredly not kid¬ding itself that it has just publisheda worthy novel; they realize, I amsure, that they are merely adding tothe collections of those whose tastein porn is too “sophisticated” fordrug store dirty books. I see noth¬ing wrong with this: but it is a pitythat our country’s laws force thepublisher to put up a hilarious falsefront. After nearly two hundredyears of supposed “freedom of thepress,” it is certainly time for thecourts to let outfits like Grove endthe masquerade.No such masquerade is necessaryfor A Manual of Classical Erotolo¬gy, an amusing anthology ofGreco-Roman derring-do originallypublished in England (in a limitededition of 100) in 1884. FrederickDecember, 1966 • CHICAGO Charles Forberg wrote the work inLatin, and it has been translatedinto terrible English by the book’ssponsor, Viscount Julian Smithson.The vile translation, however, isnonetheless the most valuable fea¬ture of the book, for it continues toenglish where the Loeb Classical Li¬brary fears to tread. Where my edi¬tion of Catullus (ed. Cornish) hasthree dots indicating the elision,Forberg’s volume cites that poet atlength: “Oh Memmius, well andlong and leisurely, laid on my backall the length of that beam, you ir-rumated me.” (To irrumate, accord¬ing to Forberg, is “to put the mem¬ber in erection into another’smouth.”) The translation of CarmenXXVIII, lines-mne and ten, is horri¬bly clumsy, but almost anything isbetter than an ellipsis and an eacto-rial blush. , ; *Each chapter of the anthology isdevoted to a differaat sexual activi¬ty, apparently f«r the aid of aftv-d toner speakers looking for choicelines on pederasty, fellatio,genital-hair-plucking, and otherclassical amusements. Forberg alsosupplies the casual reader with agood deal of humor, much of it un¬intentional.Whatever little humor there is inThe 120 Days of Sodom is equallyunintended, for this work, writtenby Sade when incarcerated in theBastille, is one of his more earnestdocuments. “I hate virtue,” says theDue de Blangis, speaking for Sade,“and will never be seen resorting toit. My principles have persuaded methat through vice alone is man cap¬able of experiencing this moral andphysical vibration which is thesource of the most delicious volup¬tuousness.” And for the rest of thebook—some 500 pages with onlythe first fourth of it thoroughly fin¬ished—the Due and three other li¬bertines put this doctrine into prac¬tice.As the title suggests, the 120Days of Sodom is the story of anorgy continued over a period offour months. The participants arelegion: the four libertines, theirwives, eight little girls, eight boys,eight men with enormous members,four old duennas, four women totell stories of vice, plus a number ofservants. And no dinner of statecould be better organized: ninepages of the Grove Press edition areneeded to contain the rules and reg¬ulations to be followed by the par¬ticipants (viz. “The slightest reli¬gious act on the part of any subject.. . shall be punished by death.”).Surprisingly, The 120 Days ofSodom has a cumulative effect dif¬ferent in kind from Sade’s othernovels, Juliette or Justine. Individu¬al passages describe act after act ofvice, some disgusting, some per¬versely comic; taken in large doseshowever, one has a gut responsewhich is hard to describe. Where¬fore, with my editor’s permission, Ishould like to quote at length:He places a woman so that thebase of her spine bears upon thesharpened head of a tall post, herfour limbs are held in the air onlyby light cords; the effects of hersuffering make the lecher laugh in¬continently. . .(Continued on Page Ten)ITERARY IEVIEW • 3Where Trousers CommenceAn Angel Comes to Babylon andRomulus The Great, by FriedrichDuerrenmatt. Grove Press. $1.95.The Marriage of Mr. Mississippi andProblems of the Theatre, by Fried¬rich Duerrenmatt. Grove Press.$1.95.Friedrich Duerrenmatt and MaxFrisch are considered Switzerland’stwo greatest living playwrights, andthey share a similar didactic style.But their villains are very different.Frisch’s strident voice excoriatescomplacency and complicity withevil, and harps on the theme ofguilt in an undisguised effort tokeep alive in German hearts thememory of their national disaster.A secondary preoccupation is withidentity, which he explores armedwith all of the sophisticated instru¬ments of psychoanalysis, suggestingthat identity can be more illusionthan reality, that man creates thebeings with whom he interacts andmay force the one perceived to be¬come that which he is perceived tobe. By virtue of his subject matterFrisch is thoroughly modern, andthoroughly fashionable.Duerrenmatt’s targets are mucholder and more durable, not partic¬ularly modish. In these three playshe is debunking a rigid idealismwhich fails to understand man as heis. Although he states in the essaythat he does not see the stage asproperly a podium for declaimingideas, the substance of the threeplays is equal to the substance ofthis idea, around which all isshaped.Because Duerrenmatt has a finewit, many of his portraits are de¬lightful. The Emperor Romulus, de¬liberately letting the Empire go topot around him while he raiseschickens, has a very definite reasonfor letting chaos have its way; butbefore this is revealed to us we maybe convulsed to hear him say calmlyto an emissary bearing “world¬shaking news” of the war, “Newsnever shakes the world. Events dothat. . .” He argues politely with hischamberlain about what to call hismorning meal, insisting on “ ‘Mymorning repast.’ In my house I de¬cide what is classical Latin.” To thetrouser manufacturer who offershis millions to buy Rome’s salva¬tion, Romulus replies, “Where trou¬sers commence, culture ends.”The humor and the biting edge ofDuerrenmatt’s dramas derive fromthe fact that all of his charactersare singularly precocious, possessedof the cynicism and historical per¬spective of twentieth century manwhile living in the ancient past.Even in the more modern setting ofThe Marriage of Mr. Mississippi,the characters are all perfectlyaware of the roles they play and incase we should miss the point, theyare ready to inform us exactly whatthey are all about. This endowsthem all with a great deal of charm;unfortunately, it is possible to ob¬ject to this procedure, and possiblealso to believe that this very preco¬city and volubility of his characters marks a weakness in Durrenmatt’splays.My main objection to his workarises exactly here: the plays aretoo light-weight, their brilliance andtheir meaning lie too close to thesurface; they are all in danger ofevaporating upon a second look. In¬variably, both the men of darknessand the men of light blurt out theirphilosophies in a few well chosenplatitudes and then proceed abouttheir business. This is insulting. De¬spite the charming wit of their crea¬tor I would really prefer either theapproach of the “absurd” drama¬tists or the approach of, say, Shawor Aristophanes (both of whomwrote plays very similar in intent).That is, I would prefer, for in¬stance, that the characters embodyand act out, instead of preaching,their meaning. For all the draw¬backs of “absurd” drama, its allego¬ry and suggestion provoke and stim¬ulate our thought far more thancharacters who come onstage at in¬termission to explain themselves.Then there is the alternative of peo¬ple like Shaw and Aristophanes,who fill out their works with such avariety of discussion, humor, andengaging minor characters that oneis left with a feeling of having seena real world, and the message with¬in it. One departs from Duerren¬matt’s plays having seen a message,sketchily if pleasingly decked out infeathers and spangles.Duerrenmatt’s major obsession iswith the strict idealist who fails totake into account the nature of theworld he is striving to maintain orimprove. In Romulus this is embod¬ied in those who would fight to thelast man to preserve decadentRome. They are confronted by Ro¬ mulus, who calmly asserts that “re¬sistance at any price is the greatestnonsense there is,” and that oneshould never love a country asmuch as one loves other humanbeings. “Above all, always keep anopen mind about any country. Acountry turns killer more easilythan any man . . . Every state callsitself ‘country’ or ‘nation’ when it isabout to commit murder.”In The Marriage of Mr. Mississip¬pi we see the eternal conflict be¬tween the complete moralist, believ¬ing in absolute justice as pro¬claimed in the Law of Moses; theeternal ‘realist’ (in this case, a Com¬munist), who believes that a goodlife for all men in this world is thesupreme goal; and the man of pas¬sion, who asserts that both breadand rectitude are irrelevant com¬pared to the beauty of human rela¬tionships consummated in love. AnAngel Comes to Babylon depicts theconflict between Heaven and earth,between demands of absolute devo¬tion to the ideal and attempts torealize the merely possible.To say that there is nothing morein these plays than these themes isto do them some injustice; but theyform the core, and that we shouldremember them was Duerrenmatt’schief goal. In all the works, too,there is expressed the awarenessthat these are eternal problems (andhere the plays bear a great resem¬blance to works like Shaw’s St. Joanand Frisch’s The Chinese Wall);there is a definite emphasis on thecyclical nature of history.In his essay, Problems of TheTheatre, Duerrenmatt is disappoint¬ing. The majority of the essay is de¬voted to the ways in which a play¬wright deals with the problems of dramatic place, time, and speechand he has nothing new to say onthese subjects. The valuable in¬sights into his ideas and approachoften come off handedly. He feelsthat the cinema is the modern formof the old court theatre, and thattheatre today is mostly a museumof accepted (too readily venerated)masterpieces, with a small contin¬gent of experimentalists (too readilycriticized) trying to deal with thefact that there is no longer onedramaturgy, one style in which theyare expected to work. He feels thepainful necessity of writing to ananonymous audience, instead of toone which is understood, predict¬able, cozy.We also learn how disconcertingit can be to the modern dramatist tohave to deal with subjects that havealready taken form: the artist is in¬hibited in writing about Caesar be¬cause scholarship has defined Cae¬sar in a particular way. (Here againDuerrenmatt emphasizes his appar¬ent conviction that contemporarylife is not an appropriate subject.)His solution to this problem isseen in his own works: it is for theartist to parody his materials, to de¬liberately reject the accepted imageof an historical figure and contrastthis accepted image with the char¬acter the dramatist creates. (Again,see Shaw’s St. Joan.) Duerrenmattfeels that our twentieth-centuryworld is mad and grotesque, likethat of Hieronymus Bosch; and thattherefore, comedy, because it pre¬supposes a chaotic, unformed worldlike ours, can be effective today.Comedy creates distance, it trans¬poses our daily chaos onto the plane(Continued on Page Eleven)Gas from GrassThe Plebeians Rehearse the Upris¬ing: A German Tragedy, by Guen-ter Grass.

Plays produced there werewritten or rewritten by Brecht tograpple with the proletariat side ofthings. One of them was Shake¬speare’s Coriolanus. Brecht reducedthe Roman general to a war special¬ist who became so uncomfortablyreactionary between wars that hewas banned as the people’s enemy.Brecht’s didactic purpose was toteach East Berliners how to createtheir own revolution.But prior to the play’s first publicperformance, the workers jumpedthe gun in June 1953, with theirown revolt. They approachedBrecht, expecting him to be theirspokesman. Brecht hesitated, per¬haps tragically, unable to reconcilethe actual mob incited by the price of potatoes with his theories on theart of revolution.Grass, who also managed to blun¬der his way into politics recently,wrote his play under a compulsionto tear Brecht’s dilemma apart, oneway or another. But not being him¬self a dramatist, Grass cannot putthe pieces back together in a dra¬matic experience. Instead, he mere¬ly pits the artist, the worker and therepresentative of the State againstone another; each prevents the othersfrom taking any independent action.Grass uses this suspended crisis tomake a swift and sarcastic rally ofsatire.

Oxford University Press.It is always fascinating to watch acareful scholar and biographer atwork, especially when his subject isso far removed in time yet so closeto modern hearts as J. S. Bach.Furthermore the biographical prob¬lems in Bach’s case are enor¬mous—sufficient to test the in¬genuity and insight of the mostcompetent scholars. Bach’s life, too,can tempt the biographer and musi¬cologist into a blind hero-worship,and as everyone knows, the conse¬quent interpretations of Bach’s lifehave often been ludicrous. Karl Gei¬ringer fortunately avoids the ex¬tremes of absurdity, but at the sametime he never quite convinces.Geiringer draws Bach’s career ina straight-lin'e progression throughwhich Bach, despite certain devia¬tions from the true path prescribedbv his genius, worked constantly to“fulfill” his “artistic destiny.” Thereis a certain justification for thisview, since Bach’s music shows con¬stant development—from the ear¬liest, almost purely derivative piecesto the complex abstractions of “TheArt of the Fugue”—and since Bachspent most of his life playing, writ¬ing, teaching and conducting forchurches. Furthermore, a kind ofunity links together Bach’s works.The logic that connects each suc¬ceeding development, innovation orsynthesis seems clear; and it couldbe conceived, therefore, that theBach of 1708 must somehow havehad intimations of greatness thatmade him stick to a “true path”which inevitably led from one mas¬terpiece to another. Geiringer seems to think that chance, circum¬stance or accident played only thesmallest part. They provided mere¬ly the backdrop for Bach’s struggle,the force over which his genius con¬stantly triumphed.Bach’s life, seen in this way, hasa unity analogous to that of his mu¬sic. Clearly, there w'ere strugglesand experiments; the need to back¬track, to go off on tangents, to wTes-tle with his owm intractable person¬ality. But these were ultimately sub¬ordinated to the principle of Bach’s“Genius.”It would be easy to believe insuch a life—one that developed asneatly as the plot of a Greekdrama—if, in fact, anyone had everlived one. Geiringer, though he nev¬er explicitly says so, seems to thinkthat Bach did, and presents Bach’slife accordingly, complete with theparaphernalia of a tragic ending.He seems to have no inkling ofthe bourgeois musician that Bachwas, though the evidence is plain inthis book, and consequently he nev¬er quite elucidates the basic conflictat the center of Bach’s personality—a conflict that colored all his prac¬tical decisions.On the one hand, there wasBach’s very real passion for moneyand prestige. For example, in hisfirst job, at the age of eighteen,Bach managed to wheedle a largersalary out of the town of Arnstadtthan had been paid to any of hispredecessors; for each successiveposition he held, he made sure firstthat there was a pay raise involved.His highest point came at Coethen,where as court conductor and per¬sonal friend of Prince Leopold,Bach had more money, prestige andinfluence than almost anyone else at court. This was no little progressfor an organist who, in spite of theopinions of other musicians, wasnot thought well of in church cir¬cles, and who came from a fairlylow bourgeois family of piouschurch musicians. This is not tosuggest that Bach was a simple-minded materialist, but that theaims of his career were at least part¬ly those of his class.But opposed to these aspirationswas an equally strong desire toproduce the music he wanted, utiliz¬ing his own ideas. Bach naturallystarted looking elsewhere for moremoney and prestige w'hen he real¬ized that he would never get themby staying at Arnstadt for the restof his life—especially after thecongregation complained that hisaccompaniments were too wild. Heleft his next job for similar reasons,even though he appeared to knuck¬le under at first. He seemed happyfor a while when he reached Coeth¬en, but when the Prince lost inter¬est in Bach’s music, Bach lost inter¬est in the Prince, his court and hismoney. Finally, at Leipzig, Bachsuccumbed; he retained the positionas Thomas Cantor for his last twen¬ty-seven years in spite of the factthat he constantly quarreled withhis superiors, that his music wasmisunderstood and disliked andthat his greatest accomplishmentswept unnoticed.Apparently Bach did not seriouslyconsider leaving Leipzig, even whenhis salary was reduced. The conflictbetween his material and artisticideals was finally resolved by givingin, in a limited w'ay, to the demandsof materialism in order to give him¬self the opportunity to realize thedemands of art—a compromisemore common than successful. Early in his book, Geiringer men¬tions that Bach’s family backgroundcombined an “imaginative Thurin-gian” strain with a “realistic Sax¬on” one. This suggests an approachwhich. I submit with all due respectto Professor Geiringer, is nonsense.The assumption is that Bach’s lifewill somehow throw light on hismusic. But to know that Bach’smother came from one place andhis father from another will neverhelp us understand the “St. Mat¬thew Passion.” To know that the“Inventions” and “Sinfonias” w'erewritten for Wilhelm FriedemannBach will never allow' us to performthem better—as Wanda Landow'skahas pointed out, it may even per¬suade us to perform them worse. Asa matter of fact, we don’t have toknow anything at all about Bach’slife in order to understand what ismost important about his music.But if we are going to biographizeabout Bach this must be made mean¬ingful in itself. There are. perhaps,other more defensible ways of con¬sidering Bach’s life than the one Ihave sketched above, but ProfessorGeiringer touches on none of them.The discussion of Bach’s music ismuch better than the biography. Acomparatively long chapter on“Bach’s Artistic Heritage” givesshort histories of the major musicalconventions up to Bach’s time. Thisis followed by a discussion of theways Bach brought together tre¬mendous variety of forms and musi¬cal ideas producing syntheses whichsurpassed all his models. There is adiscussion of Bach’s use of symbol¬ism and his mystical formulas, andthe most precise and accurate divi¬sion of Bach’s creative output that I(Continued on Page Nine)From Melodrama to MarienbadLa Maison da Rendez-vous, byAlain Robbe-Gillet. Grove Press.$4.50. Mouchette, by GeorgesBernanoc. Holt, Rinehart and Win¬ston. $3.95.The Nouveau Roman, we aretold, wants to “make something outof nothing.” The implication is thatin order to do that you don’t haveto be God vou may be Robbe Grillet.The latest “something” he hasmade is La Maison de Rendez-Vous.Some call it a novel.Others may call it variationswithout a theme. The theme anpearsto be murder. Who did it? SirRalph, probably. Why? Maybe be¬cause he needed money. Or maybebecause Sir Ralph’s chemicals, test¬ed by Mannoret, proved efficacious.Too efficacious. It was not neces¬sary that Kito die in the experiment.That was a bad move. Manneret willhave to pay for it. On the otherhand, so will Marchat (or Marchand) who was certainly too much in lovewith Sir Ralph’s mistress, consider¬ing. . .That’s what the theme eventuallyseems to end up being. For the ac¬tion doesn’t simply go forward; itregresses, corrects itself, repeatsand alludes to itself, defining whileundermining the essential motifs ofthe composition. These motifs areultimate, self-consistent; the Eura¬sian girl with the black dog; the oldman on the bench; the immobiledancing guests; breasts and belliesof women, free and captive in tightdresses. Not that the composition iscircular, or periodic. The smallestchange in detail, or context, causesa different implication. Althoughthe motifs—played on the stage of abrothel—recur, remembered or re¬ferred to or anticipated, there is noevolution, no progression. Active and“frozen” scenes are juxtaposed, asin a movie, with no resolution envis- a g e d. The transitional “mean¬while,” “then,” “moreover,” are theusual paragraph beginnings. Ofcourse the “events” (or pictures, orseries of motifs) follow the nonlin¬ear chronology of the narrator’smind, but they are not illogical. Alo-gical, yes. Contradiction is a ne¬cessity in the structure and there¬fore time is not.But La Maison de Rendez-Vous isnot just the raison d’etre of the taci¬turn characters who take them¬selves and their surrealistic sur¬roundings for granted. Neither is itjust an elaborate architecture of cu¬riously, even magnificently, con¬structed episodes. It is also the tes¬timony of what may be called a la-byrinthic society: one where thereare no ends. Or, rather, where“things are never where they be¬long for good,” as the lady of thebrothelIf it makes any sense to talk ofPassion a la FrancoiseLa Chamade, by Francoise Sagan,translated by Robert Westhoff.Dutton. $3.95.“Love,” said Thurber, “is blind,but desire just doesn’t give a goodgoddam.” Herein lies the power ofMile. Sagan’s latest (and, to date,longest) novel. In its short span wesee the flowering and death of anaffair whose intensity ever so brief¬ly rules out the question of redeem¬ing social importance. For what, af¬ter all, can you do when a coup defoudre strikes? If, like Antoineand Lucile, you are young, boredand French, there’s nothing for itbut to jump in swinging, with a vi¬olent son of love—equal pans pas¬sion and egoism—that ignores theworld outside and forces the belovedto sound a signal of utter submis¬sion, une chamade.First comes the passion. Antoineand Lucile, however unlike in mostways, both have lots of it. They findone another amid the swamps of up¬per-class Parisian society, whereeach has been stuck with a grayingpanner, and—to soothe itch and en¬nui—they hunle together withscarcely a.glance behind. But all (asFrench popular song writers nevertire of saying) cannot be roses forlong. That second quality, egoism,soon takes over, and the hostileolder woild reclaims our lovers onits terms. Lucile returns to Charles,her “protector,” who makes up forhis lack of youthful vigor by a toler¬ant outlook and big bankroll—bothof which Lucile finds, come inhandy when she carries on to abortthe child Antoine fathered. Antoinehimself strikes a blow for middle-class morality. With illusions shat¬tered he sets about becoming a greatpublisher.But, to put the emphasis where itbelongs, La Chamade is Lucile’snovel. In her unfaltering determina¬tion to do just what pleases her, sheis a girl for all seasons: “I’m con¬tent to have nothing of my own,” she admits, “not the smallest plan,not the tiniest worry. I’m in tunewith life.” And through Sagan’sfinely objective prose Lucile reach¬es us, not as the g a r c e-with-the-heart-of-gold or the steel-willed debauchee, but as a con¬scious woman who accepts as muchof life as she needs to be happy anddisregards anything—selfless actionsas well as spiteful ones—that wouldcomplicate matters.Lucile is an overpowering charac¬ter, and Charles and Antoine aregrist for her mill. The unfortunatething is that Sagan makes them lit¬tle more than that. Within a shortnovel, especially one where the set¬ting changes every few pages, onlyso many characters can be fullycreated. In this case, the leadingmen lose out. We have an idea oftheir personality types: Charles ispassive and giving, Antoine activeand grabby. But these are staticconceptions; when it comes to put¬ting them in motion, Sagan is justtoo busy letting Lucile run hershow to bother about adding au¬ thenticity for the men.The minor figures, by contrast,are tidily sketched. When they ap¬pear we have a lively sense of theautrui Lucile and Antoine try vain¬ly to be rid of. Dialogue, too, worksbeautifully for Sagan. As long asshe has her characters speaking anddoing things she is on top of thesituation. Only when the set-speeches and expository paragraphsbarge in do we feel the triviality ofthe book.For La Chamade is a great deallike the love affair that forms itsplot: look at either one too long, toologically, and it disappears. Neitherhas any ultimate significance—whenyou’re done with it you may easilywonder why you ever began. Butwhile you’re wrapped up in it, youknow good things are going on. Andonce you’ve gotten to know Lucile,you’re not liable to forget her for awhile.Barbara FrankMiss Frank is a first-year graduatestudent in the department of Englishat the University of Chicago. literary antitheses, La Maison deRendez-vous and Mouchette are justthat. Written in 1937, Mouchette isof the poverty-love-death category.A fourteen year-old peasant girlraped by an epileptic, not quiteagainst her will, commits suicide.She is not just any peasant girl.Mouchette is very sensitive. Shesuffers, having “stepped into thestrange world that she had some¬times glimpsed in books.” Herdeath is lonely, lyrical. It should betragic.It isn’t. To begin with, the compo-nent parts of the novel are too mini¬mal. too skeletal. There are the omi¬nous night, the shame, then thelake. Every event has an obviousfunctional value. It all leads, linear¬ly, with the expected complications,directly to the end. Mouchette failsto be understood: by her mother,who dies, appropriately enough,the very moment Mouchette hastimidly attempted to start Alludingto her sexual traumas; by the pe¬dantic Madame, the archetypal andconsequently cardboard-mindedschool-teacher; by Madame Derain,who deduces that the bruises on thegirl’s breasts are conclusive proofof prostitution; and finally by thepoliceman Mathieu who thinks inall legality that he should “see themayor about her tomorrow.” Thepre-climactic intervention of theominous widow telling the story ofher sadism is now so superfluousthat nothing can prevent melodra¬ma. Especially not death.Even though the structure of thenovel is simple, Bernados at leastexploits all its possibilities. He ex¬amines every detail of the girl’s ac¬tions, he penetrates her body andher senses, her perception and herreason. Patiently, carefully, Berna¬dos defines her. He ^ven goes be¬yond and attempts to give her uni¬versality by interpreting and eluci¬dating her. It is good prose, tooLyrical, gentle.It’s too bad about Mouchette.There is indeed a sincere attempt attenderness, at delicacy reconciledwith even in brutality, at simplicityand beauty. Mouchette is almost atragic character. She loves and suf¬fers sincerely. It’s just too bad shesuffers so consistently, irrevocablyled to death in a world of hostilecharacters, where all is not onlyagainst her but positively enhancesher innocent inevitable suicide.This takes us a long way fromRobbe-Grillet’s world of the poss¬ible. In La Maison de Rendez-vousthere are only images and flash¬backs. Nothing is necessary exceptwhat is made to exist through narra¬tion. The novel becomes an end initself, proving and refuting its prem¬ises at will under the guidance ofart. On the way, all we lose isMouchette, and tenderness.Juliana GeranMiss Geran is a second-year studentof Philosophy in the College at theUniversity of Chicago.6 • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • December, 1966DylanAnd HisDramaThe Doctor and the Devils, andOther Scripts, by Dylan Thomas.New Directions. $4.50.Dylan Thomas became famousfor a richly descriptive and symbol¬ic poetry, a poetry eagerly read de¬spite frequent clutters of sound andsense. The verse continually grewbetter, until in his last ten yearsmany poems cast aside everythingobscure and vibrated with an un¬trammelled lyric intensity. Similar¬ly, his later prose work (among itthe three scripts of this book) alsofreed itself, not from obscure exe¬cution, but from themes that un¬comfortably suggest reworded TATstories. Because the later scripts,stories, and essays left behind alltraces of the earlier juvenalia, andcontained instead the results of afinely-developed esthetic outlook,they must be considered his bestpieces; if they lost some indicationsof a soul writhing in agony, theygained a larger and clearer poeticvision. His new objectivity was a de¬cisive improvement.The Doctor and the Devils isbased upon a story provided byDonald Taylor, and deals with anineteenth-century Edinburgh scan¬dal involving a renowned anatomist(in the script, Dr. Rock) and twomurderers who supply him withcorpses. Near the beginning, theDoctor in a lecture states that theend justifies any means. The rest ofthe script tells what happens whensome characters act accordingly.Dr. Rock, a successful, confidentman, holds a somewhat contemp¬tuous opinion of anyone or anythingnot conforming to his rigid ideal¬ism. Science has assumed a distort¬ed importance in his life. The worldof Edinburgh is entirely alien tohim; he disdains its inhabitants, andregards them as almost equivalentto the Powers of Darkness.Throughout the script the Edin¬burgh poor possess much more gaie¬ty than sorrow, but as Dr. Rockviews the same group of people hesees only a grotesque struggle. Hisattitude and the murders form com¬plementary tragic elements of thestory. The accompanying socialbackdrop—teeming taverns, hawk¬ing hags, and playing children—pro¬vides a coarse, interesting realityenlivened by humor and caricature.Thomas’ revelation of the charactersprimarily through their outward ac¬tions rather than through theirspeech emphasizes the vitality ofthese denizens of the gutter.When Dr. Rock painfully learnsone result of his intial belief—thatthe ten pounds he paid for a corpsebought its life as well—he realizeshis own attitude was not innocent of murder. And so the Doctor receivesa new knowledge of evil afterevents true to this earlier ideologyhad destroyed his career and sever¬al lives. With the rejection of theMachiavellian hypothesis, the finalscene leaves us aware not only ofethical considerations, but of Thom¬as’s Edinburgh as a self-containedworld composed of sharp, symbolicimages, a stark world, yet at timespreferable to the sweeter, greenerworlds of other authors.In Twenty Years A-Growing, anostalgic narrator recalls the high¬lights of his boyhood in an islandfishing village. The effect is impres¬sive, smacking of salty sea-air and aheady Irish exuberance, and owes agreat deal to its source, Maurice O’¬Sullivan’s book (same title). A com¬parison with the book immediatelyshows that the dialogue and narra¬tion are almost verbatim selections;this comparison also illustrates bothO’Sullivan’s talent and Thomas’staste. As a result of judicious struc¬turing and transplanting, the scriptoffers more enjoyable reading thanthe corresponding third of the book.Two touches are specifically his: hetransformed a mediocre dream-sequence into a visually powerfulscene, and he gave the narrator afew lines of poetry which beautiful¬ly summarize the book.Last comes a radio script, TheLondoners, written for a BBC serieson London.

The story takes itsname from the demise of an ex-Shakespearean actor, Walter, whohas been reduced to playing theback end of a horse in a bankruptvariety show. In true Shakespear¬ean fashion he drops dead during aperformance, thus spurring the restof the company to throw their lastefforts into a glorious finale for themoribund revue and the equallymoribund theater which is to betorn down momentarily. “Let’s goon with the show....It’s what he’dhave wanted....Do it for Walter’ssake.” The whole affair remindsone of the Jolson Story; but, alas,the Old Gaiety must come down tomake way for an office building ora condominium. Still we all know,along with Elsie, the number onefactotum of the Old Gaiety staff,that the tragedy is not Walter’s; buta society’s which places economicover sentimental values. If the qual¬ity of this story is any indication ofwhat the ordinary British varietyshow was once like, one is hard putto explain the existence of eitherThe ten other stories examine compared to the two previousscripts, the perusal must be a laborof love. Happily, its sixteen-pagelength is not forbidding.Thomas’s scripts undoubtedly dis¬play controlled form, but this con¬trol introduces difficulties of itsown. The structure of a filmscriptunderstandably obtrudes in a read¬ing; filmscripts, including his, weremeant to achieve proper proportionon the screen rather than in a book.Although his scripts stand as a fas-self-seeking individuals whom onesuspects would have cheered as theOld Gaiety crumbled, and nostalgicpeople who tell heroic anecdotes offorgotten actors. Wain peoples theamoral, selfish world with a dealerin porcelain fixtures who railroadshis brother into the wrestlingprofession; a business executivewho succeeds in kindling a love af¬fair with the wife of a former class¬mate; and a callous landlady whorefuses to rent a room to a Negrofrom Trinidad. None of the charac¬ters in these stories has more than apaper existence. The same lack oftrue vitality taints those that reverethe past: an aged locomotive engi¬neer and a neurotic who visits thehome of his youth.Wain’s stories are vapid becausethey are not plausible. The situa¬tions taken by themselves are credi¬ble enough, but no feeling is inject¬ed into the scenes by the dialogue.Consequently we are left with char¬acters that hardly fill up one dimen¬sion. It would not be too difficult toaccept an extended discussion onthe meaning of love between a hur¬rying mailman of sixty-five and ayoung girl, or a diagnosis of infantileregression by a housewife, if thedialogue were convincing. But nomatter who is talking—be it execu- cinating literary plan of action, andnot as a completely self-containedwork, we may well wish Dylan hadlived to wnte more scripts and tofulfill his hope of creating a newtype of literature. The scripts inthis book move provocatively andartistically in the shadow region ofa hidden genre.John BuckinghamMr. Buckingham is a third-year studentmajoring in English in the College atThe University of Chicago.tive, sophisticate, or moron—theyall speak with the same tone ofvoice, for Wain does not create theillusion of a living and distinct lan¬guage for each of his characters.Among other defects is Wain’spenchant for ellipsis to indicate atrailing off of thought.

Hisabundant thumb nail descriptionsare strictly second-rate Mickey Spii-lane: “She was the goods.

But with Grosz, hard realismsoon developed into bitter cynicism.His satirical drawings and washesdeveloped into an instrument ofpropaganda. Always a fine drafts¬man, his work became his weapon.He was totally aware of the socialand moral misery in the Germanyof World War I and he left no fig¬ure of the time unnoticed. He ex¬plored the war cripples, the pimpsand prostitutes. He satirized therich middle class, who, strangelyenough, endorsed all the attacks hemade on them. As he wrote in hisautobiography, they even made him“almost rich.”Grosz was also painfully aware ofthe stirrings of revolution; his workis tangible proof that there wereGermans who “did know.” Nobody,even after the fact, has captured sowell the personalities that madeHitler’s rise to power possible.Because of his intense involve¬ment in the political and social cli¬mate and because of the sheer fe¬rocity of his satire, Grosz is usuallyclassified as a “Social Realist.” Infact, over a period of years he wasinvolved with or influenced by oth¬er artistic movements. He was anactive member of the German Da-daists; later he sympathised withthe neue Saehlichkeit; he adoptedat one point the Futurist tech¬niques. But it is as a Social Realistthat George Grosz r; remembered.His major work and contributionarose in response to a specific his¬torical situation. When that situa¬tion changed, his drawings no long¬er retained the special flavor char¬acteristic of his best work.This facsimile of the 1923 Groszportfolio Ecce Homo should appealmore to those interested in the socialhis tory of Germany between the warsthan to lovers of fine graphic art.These drawings may also appeal toconnoisseurs of sadistic, sexual andlusty drawings.Whether you seek historical doc¬umentation or are only curiousabout the graphic aspects of thedrawings you will find the volumesatisfactory. The one hundred oddreproductions are good. The 84 in black and white are large and clear,while the 16 color plates seem trueto his thin mawkish colors. TheEcce Homo portfolio includes agood sampling of the many societytypes that Grosz explored. It alsohas a few examples of his work inthe futurist style—perhaps the bestin the portfolio—where Grosz ismore concerned with the formal as¬pects of art and less concerned withdetails of degenerate personalities.Yet the simultaneous views workedout in the futurist drawings havecaptured the spirit and rhythm ofbig city life.This new edition of Ecce Homohas added an introduction by HenryMiller. He does not say much but heseems an appropriate choice. Millerdoes not judge Grosz on any artisticterms. In fact he does not evaluateGrosz on any terms: he simply likesthe drawings, and has great appre¬ciation for Grosz’s exposure of themordant realism of life. He says thedrawings are “naked and ugly, asbeautiful and eloquent, as truth it¬self.” The introduction contains noreal contributions or insights. How¬ever, the “souvenirs” of Miller’s“anecdotal life” may be of interestin themselves.But what Miller says doesn’t mat¬ter. That Miller says it is impres¬sive.

What has hap¬pened to you in Vietnam?—Felix GreeneWith a chilling sense of urgency,Felix Greene has given us a pro¬found and studied analysis of what,in his preface, he calls “the caseagainst.” He writes that he is “whol¬ly certain. . . that if the people ofthe United States only knew thebackground of the war in Vietnam,and what is being done there intheir name, they would insist on thewar at once being brought to anend.” With such faith he beginswhat is probably the most eloquentand painstakingly documented pleayet produced for an end to this“great human tragedy.”Greene, the only U S.-based writ¬er who has recently visited and trav¬elled in China, and who has longbeen closely associated with Asianaffairs, historically traces U.S. poli¬cy in Vietnam down to the present“moral disaster for the UnitedStates.” Greene’s technique of com¬bining photographs with historyand commentary is unusually, evenshockingly, effective in exposingthe deceptive nature of U.S. policy.“Hopes for victory have beenpinned first on this, then on that;but each new strategy, each newhope, has proved illusory,” notesGreene in the historian’s role assorter of myth from reality.Greene’s is a contemporary prob¬lem, smothered in frenzied emo¬tion, hatred and counter-hatred, lies and counterlies. Aware of thesecomplexities, he isolates and dealswith those factors which easily lendthemselves to empirical investiga¬tion. The first 119 pages of thebook, for example, are entirely com¬posed of photographs of leadingnewsmen, supplemented with briefcaptions or none at all. In the fol¬lowing text, Greene makes exten¬sive use of primary sources, quotingdocuments such as Ho Chi Minh’s“T w e 1 v e Recommendations” of1948 and “A Summary of the Ten-Point Program of the National Lib¬eration Front” of 1960. In citingcountless policy statements by Pres¬ident Johnson, Ho Chi Minh, Secre¬tary MacNamara, General Ky, andothers, Greene often sets themdown without comment, letting therecord tell the story.Greene is an expert at exposingthe obscured and scrubbing off thewhitewashed — for example, t h efact that the U.S. supported aFrench regime we now admit tohave been reactionary and brutallyoppressive. Later we prematurelypraised the Diem regime we hadcreated: yet nearly everyone admitsnow that Diem, whom PresidentJohnson has called “the Churchillof Vietnam,” was probably morebrutal than the French. When wewithdrew our military support ofhis rule we hastened his overthrowand assassination. Greene merelycites the record, a record of count¬less , mistakes—the French andDiem fiascos being only two of themost regrettable.Greene’s alarming prophecyseems to have come true alreadywhen one reads How To Stay Alive(Continued on Page Nine)CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW** t i * .* i tf i December, 19$6; • <■ * * faj »tV„Little Light on the Dark Continented from it, and the Ashanti of Gha¬na were among the most prominentof these.Yet in all this we should findnothing scandalous.

Riggs offershis tricks of the trade on, as theauthor would have it, how not to get“zapped.” Rigg has in mind thepractical benefit of “the Man fromUncle,” the friendly American G.I.who is selflessly “carrying the bur¬den” in this “mean little war.”The book’s overall effect providesa strikingly stereotyped example ofGreene’s fears—the abstraction ofwar into something that ignores thesuffering, growing brutality, and in¬humanity so dramatically portrayedin Greene’s wordless photographs.How To Stay Alive is written in astyle somewhere between “Humorin Uniform” and Superman Comics’“Star-Spangled War Stories.” Col.Rigg outdoes himself even in the“Table of Contents,” which alonecan apprise the reader of the Colo¬nel’s rhetorical skills. Chapterthree, for example, entitled “TheMan from Uncle,” includes thesesubtitles: “No Bullets in thePants,” “Uncle’s Machines andMedicos,” “Mash not Smersh!” and“Why Kill Yourself or Buddy?”Flourishing his talent for makingthe most hideous aspects of war ap¬pear frivolous, even cute, Col. Riggmatter-of-factly describes the prob¬lem of who to kill in a village (orhow to distinguish between peopleand Viet Cong.)Col. Rigg has written a frighten¬ing book. It bounces easily along,with a dash of V.C. brutality hereand a pinch of American heroismthere, in just the right places.

Unlike the Man from U.N.-C.L.E. episodes, Rigg makes clearfor us who the good guys are andwho the bad; clearly, our side hasrules, the other has none at all. In asubchapter titled “The Terrorists,”he describes in minute detail thedisembowelment of an old man, ababy, and a pregnant woman by theV.C. Yet later, in discussing a T V.program which showed Marinesburning a V.C. village, he chides thenetworks for their “half-truth” filmfootage “which make the U S. Mar¬ines look like mad demons.”For the undemonic Rigg, killing aViet Cong is more like making abag in a turkey shoot; war becomesa lark, Hollywood-style. In a burst ofinsight, Rigg finishes his blithehandbook of life and death with abit of rousing verse (stanza four,“Mekong Patrol”):The river bends—and you neverknow whenYou’ll be zapping it out with theV.C. again.It’s a pretty tough life and amean little war.And suspense between zaps is nev¬er a bore.But we shoot it out with firepower whapSending hellish shells saying “Sor¬ry ’bout that.”In earnest seriousness, Greenehas the last word. He quotes Gener¬al Curtis LeMay on Vietnam: “Mysolution?

C. de Graft-Johnson. Walker and Company.$4.95.When a people first begins to feelits way in the world, it often createsa set of myths for itself. The Ameri¬can people provides an excellent ex¬ample of this self-defining story¬telling instinct: for nearly a centuryafter 1776, our historians were de¬voted almost exclusively to produc¬ing nationalistic propaganda. Amer¬icans, then, should not be surprisedby this little book on “vanished Ne¬gro civilizations.” Its author is a cit¬izen of Ghana whose aim is “to firethe imagination of . . . AfricanScholars” who will write “the realhistory of Africa” for “an Africanreading public.” As an African na¬tionalist, J. C. de Graft-Johnson soselects and distorts his material thathis work is ultimately of little valueto the historian. But as a represent¬ative of his people and his time heis well worth reading.The first two-fifths of AfricanGlory treats that continent’s historybefore the rise of the West Africanempires. These seventy-six pages,based on the premise that “a studyof any part of the African continentis also a study of Negro history,”detract most seriously from thevalue of the book.In the first place, the study of theera before A D. 1000 must be large¬ly archeological, and in this field anunrevised work of 1954 is inevitablyout-of-date. Furthermore, de Graft-Johnson’s sources are almost exclu¬sively secondary, often antiquated,and sometimes of questionablevalue to begin with. The result canonly be to lower the reader’s opin¬ion of African scholarship—a con¬clusion which is not at all justified,even in terms of this work alone.De Graft-Johnson’s first chapteris undoubtedly his worst. In it, heattempts to treat Egypt as a Negrocivilization, proposing that Egyptianculture came into the Nile valleyfrom the south. Although this viewhas been rendered nearly untenableby the excavations of Walter B.Emery, the author does not see fitto reconsider it. It was, in fact, arather antiquated view when hefirst copied it from E. A. Wallis-Budge, whose work ended in the1920‘s. The entire discussion is con¬ducted in startling ignorance (theSake dynasty, for example, is listedamong foreign conquerors), andshould certainly have been left out.What is really disappointing isthat de Graft-Johnson takes no notewhatever of the Nubian, Axumiteand Abyssinian civilizations which,if not purely Negro, were at leastPICTURE CREDITSBelita LewissevententwelveRobert GreissfivesixGeCr9e Grosz indigenous to Africa. He is, ofcourse, attempting to bolster Afri¬cans’ self-respect with descriptionsof the doings of their ancient “coun¬trymen.” Unfortunately, they makea poor—as well as a false—example.What should have been the focusof African Glory comprises just for¬ty-two pages; and with the West Af¬rican empires, de Graft-Johnson ismore at home. He utilizes Arabtravelers’ accounts, and quotes froma few modern historians, to add abit of color to the chronicle of warsand assassinations. The point whichde Graft-J o h n s o n emphasizes isthe height of culture and—un¬fortunately—of military power at¬tained by these black nations. Theauthor is inclined to take Arab ex¬plorers like Ibn Batutta much tooliterally when they describe themagnificence they have seen, andhis uncomfortably compressed ac¬count of the Ghana, Mali and Son-ghai empires would be vastly im¬proved by an historical map, butthese chapters are nonetheless hismost effective. Here above all oneregrets that the author has notmade use of archeological data orillustrations.Some forty-four pages are nowspent on Europe’s discovery and col¬onization of Africa. The author ismuch preoccupied with the usemade of the Christian religion in re¬ducing the native population to sub¬jugation. The point, if shallowlyproven, is made with much convic¬tion.Less well taken is de Graft-Johnson’s understandable desire toattribute the decline of African civi¬lization to population losses result¬ing from the slave trade. The popu¬lation loss was, no doubt, massiveand disruptive, but de Graft-Johnson’s assertion that—exceptfor Christian Negroes—the Africanpopulation did what it could to op¬pose slavery is simply in defiance offact.Even if one does not expect himto cite works like that of DanielMannix (which went to press after1954), de Graft-Johnson’s story of“the Kormantee Negro at home”tries one’s patience. Historiograph-ically, it is his best chapter by far,but he describes the Ashanti war asthough it were simply a predatoryactivity on the part of the English,who goaded the Africans into com¬bat. The British claim that theirpurpose was the suppression of theslave trade is not even dealt with.The kings of Ashanti and Dahomeyhad quite frankly told the Britishthat they had no intention of givingup the sale of slaves, but the authorignores this aspect of the quarrel.Although the awful responsibilityfor the enslavement of countless Af¬ricans falls chiefly on the Euro¬pean, such native political leadersas existed near the African coastsgenerally cooperated in and profit¬ have yet seen. The author is oftenshrewd, if occasionally verbose,when discussing Bach’s use of musi¬cal forms. This latter part of thebook could be valuable to perform¬ers both for the sake of Geiringer’sown insights and for his carefulnotes. The index, from this point ofview, is especially helpful and com¬plete.The book handily brings togethera great deal of the Bach scholarshipof recent years.

MillerMr. Miller is a fourth-year student inthe department of English at RooseveltUniversity.I I T ERA R Y IEVIIW • ~9The Goose Beneath the SkinOn Aggression, by Konrad Lorenz,translated by Marjorie Kerr Wilson.Harcourt, Brace and World. $5.75.Of his third compendium of bio¬logical research and philosophicalmusing, Lorenz says:One might think that scholar witha certain gift for expressing him¬self, having dedicated his whole lifeto a specific subject, would be ableto describe and communicate theresults of his labors in such a waythat his reader would understandnot only what he knows, but alsowhat he feels about them.The reader, having by this timeplowed through two hundred pagesof Lorenz’s zoological observations,is ready to take issue with that firstself-conscious assumption: that thescholar does indeed have a “certaingift for expressing himself.” In un¬dertaking the task of persuading anunbelieving and traditionalist audi¬ence that aggression acts as a posi¬tive force in evolution—for that iswhat Lorenz attempts—it is essen¬tial that the author establish hiscredentials unequivocally. Theopening paragraphs give us hope;but as we read on it becomes dis-couragingly clear that, howeverbrilliant the scientific correlations,the way they are presented leavesslim hope they will be accepted.If the message fails to comeacross, though, it is hardly the faultof Lorenz’s organization. A logicallyinterlocking chain of data leads ustoward conclusions which would behotly disputed in another context.Lorenz denies that aggression is alife-destroying principle, shows howit is expressed in various ritualforms and ultimately connects itwith human morality.In his epic journey from cichlidpairing to indiscriminate humanneighbor-loving, he calls attentionto instinctive ritualized animal be¬havior that closely parallels our own. Perhaps his most interestingobservations concern the matinghabits of his old friends the greylaggeese. It is difficult to determinewhether Lorenz’s language is morecharacteristic of him or the geese,but in any case he insists that he“failed to recognize a well-knownindividual after (the gander) hassuddenly fallen in love.” Later hecomments that “It is only the playof her eyes which tells the male how his courtship is received (bythe female)” and that “there aretrue friendships between male andfemale which have nothing to dowith love, though naturally lovemay spring from them.” There isundoubtedly a lesson to be learnedfrom the fact that “Young geesecan often be seen making copulato-ry movements, but these are noforecast of a later pairing.” Thenumber of similar comparisons is amazing, but Lorenz refrains fromdrawing too obvious connections.After recording the activities ofvarious animal families, Lorenz dif¬ferentiates the ties that hold eachtogether. Although he tends to an¬thropomorphize the beasts, he doesgive the reader the benefit of fur¬ther explanation in purely scientificterms.But problems loom large whenLorenz, in the final pages, tries tosubstantiate his proposition thatmoral law is the creature of naturalevolution—that it is as instinctive asthe greylag’s triumph ceremony,and as practical. Had he, by thistime, convinced us of his capabilityas a scientist, we might be more will¬ing to accept this philosophizing.But our author has kept so busy atbuying interest with clever phras¬ing (not nearly so clever as his ex¬periments) that we doubt equallyhis rhetoric, his qualifications andhis conclusions.In spite of obnoxious habits ofstyle, Lorenz takes a fresh view ofsome worthwhile topics. His defini¬tions of terms such as “culture,”“value” and “normal,” for example,are thought-provoking. But the firstenthusiasm we feel after encounter¬ing Lorenz’s stimulating ideas onsocialization flags somewhat duringthe long trek to his final philoso¬phy, where objectivity is abandonedand the text begins to read like afamiliar sermon. At the partingplea to Love Thy Neighbor, we havea strong urge to flip back to pageone and make sure we have finishedthe same book that began on such apleasantly scientific note.Mary Sue LeightonMiss Leighton is a second-year studentin the College at the University ofChicago.Varieties of Pornographic Experience(Continued from Page Three)A man who used to enjoy cuttingsmall steaks from the girl’s rumphas absolutely become a butcher;he has the girl sandwiched betweentwo heavy planks, then slowly andcarefully sawed in two.An embuggerer of both sexes hasbrother and sister fetched in; hedeclares to the brother that he isabout to die a horrible death, andshows the young man all the de-ployed tackle he proposes to use;however, the libertine continues, hewill save the brother’s life if he willfuck his sister and strangle her atonce. The young man agrees, andwhile he fucks his sister, the liber¬tine embuggers now one of them,now the other. Then the brother,fearing for his life, deprives his sis¬ter of hers, and the moment hecompletes that operation, both heand his dead sister tumble througha trap door into a capacious char¬coal brazier, wherein the libertinewatches them be consumed.A great devotee of asses and ofthe lash brings together motherand daughter. He tells the girl thathe is going to kill her mother ifshe, the girl, does not consent tothe sacrifice of both her hands; thelittle one agrees, they are severedat the wrist. Whereupon these twocreatures are separated; a ropesuspended from the ceiling is slip¬ped around the girl’s neck, she stands upon a stool; another cordruns from the stool into the nextroom and the mother is requestedto hold the end. She is then invitedto tug on the cord; she pulls itwithout knowing what she is doing,she is led directly into the firstroom to contemplate her work, andduring that moment, in her keenestdistress, she is smitten down by asaber blow aimed at her head frombehind.. .Any one of these proceedings atfirst seems merely grotesque, for,viewed against the background ofthe real world, where men areusually benevolent or at least indif¬ferent to one another, it is simplyan instance of man’s occasional in¬humanity. But as one reads on andon, through the fifty pages of ra¬pine, torture and murder whichconclude the volume, one’s sense ofwhat is usual in this world gradual¬ly dissolves, to be replaced byechoes of Sade’s credo: “throughvice alone is man capable ... of themost delicious voluptuousness.”Like Finnegans Wake, The 120Days of Sodom cannot be read; it can only be read at. And it is a goodthing, too, for I suspect that if it,were possible to read straightthrough the 500 pages with all ofthe attention one can give to isolat¬ed paragraphs, one would emergewith permanently damaged sensibil¬ities. Fortunately, the book soonpalls; after a few dozen pages (or afew dozen paragraphs of the lastsection) one simply cannot read on.What sort of mind could havecreated this masterpiece of horror?I fear that the answer must be: agreat one. No matter what one maysay about Sade’s deranged values,his novel poses an unanswerablemoral problem. If it is the case thatthere is no God (and Sade believedin none), why should one be good?If virtue has no reward in heaven,just as, indeed, it has none on earth,what legitimate value can one clingto in life except the pleasures of theindividual? And if these pleasuresshould be cruel, then so much thebetter. In The 120 Days of Sodom,Sade takes to its ultimate conclu¬ sion Rabelais’ dictum “Fay ce quovouldras.”The experience of this book—notits style, nor its ideologicalcontent—is what convinces me thatSade cannot be ignored or arguedaway. The power of The 120 Daysof Sodom is neither literary nor in¬tellectual; it is existential. It isright, then, that the existentialistSimone de Beauvoir should be giv¬en the last word:In the solitude of his prison cells,Sade lived through an ethical dark¬ness similar to the intellectualnight in which Descartes shroudedhimself. He emerged with no reve¬lation but at least he disputed allthe easy answers . . . Sade drainedto the dregs the moment of selfish¬ness, injustice, and misery, and heinsisted upon its truth. The su¬preme value of his testimony liesin its ability to disturb us. It forcesus to re-examine thoroughly thebasic problem which haunts ourage in different forms: the true re¬lation between man and man.David H.

Douglas, Lt.-Col. CharlesH. Lemmon, Frank Barlow. Compil¬ed by the Battle and District His¬torical Society. Charles Scribner'sSons. $4.50.In the year 1066 occurred theother memorable date in EnglishHistory, viz. William the Con¬queror, Ten Sixty-Six. This is alsocalled The Battle of Hastings,and was when William I (1066)conquered England at the Battleof Senlac (Ten Sixty-six).That, say the authors of 1066 andAll That, is what Englishmen re¬member about the last foreign con¬quest of England. It is suggestivethat even those frivolous commenta¬tors grant to the Conquest one ofthe two “memorable” English dates.Since the eleventh century, the Nor¬man Conquest has been considereda turning-point of sorts in Englishhistory: the nature of the change inEnglish society has been the matterof innumerable scholarly discus¬sions and the focal point of muchresearch. Even amid the welter ofanniversaries (won’t some fire de¬partment bring out a book comme¬morating the Great Fire of London,1666?) the Conquest is worth re¬membering. To celebrate its nine¬hundredth anniversary the local so¬ciety concerned with the history ofthe Hastings area has compiled ashort and lively collection of essaysby distinguished experts in Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman history.The Norman Conquest: Its Set¬ting and Impact is in effect a struc¬tured series of excellent lectures onthe background, history and effectsof William the Conqueror’s cam¬paign. Although the authors dis¬agree in interpretation and empha¬sis, the story they jointly tell is co¬herent and complete. DorothyWhitelock discusses the Anglo-Saxon achievement of six centuries;David Douglas writes a perceptivepolitical biography of the Conquer¬or himself; Colonel Charles H. Lem¬mon, chairman of the Battle Societyand a military historian, describesthe strategy and tactics of the con¬quest; and Frank Barlow’s conclud¬ing essay analyzes the effects ofNorman role on eleventh- and ear¬ly twelfth-century English govern¬ment and society.Professor Whitelock’s summaryof Anglo-Saxon civilization is bril-ant. Her style is lucid and allusive,f occasionally coy. Her organiza-on is clear and her interpretationsarceptive. The essay is nonetheless' sappointing. Professor White-'ck’s major concern seems to beoving precisely that which sheaintains needs no proof: that the' nglo-Saxons had an exceedingly. ich culture and a tradition of six< nturies of development which^uld not but compare favorablyh the achievement of the upstartormans. She details in profusionliterary and scholarly wealth of(lo-Saxon civilization—but activ¬ ity in these areas was slight duringthe eleventh century.Anglo-Saxon monastic fervor hadbeen great and productive in theeight and tenth centuries. Anglo-Saxon unification had been thor¬ough and the power of the Englishking was great—but the mid¬eleventh century saw the growth ofstrong earldoms to rival that power(Professor Whitelock’s implied sug¬gestion that royal redistribution ofthe earls’ territory was counteract¬ing this tendency is not entirelyconvincing). In short, ProfessorWhitelock reminds the reader thatAnglo-Saxon civilization had been aflourishing one, but she uninten¬tionally leaves the impression thatthe eleventh century was a periodmore influenced by memory ofachievement than by achievementitself.Certainly the development ofEnglish kingship in the eleventhcentury is worth specific attention(that development may be attribut¬ed in part to Scandinavian influencewhich Professor Whitelock all butomits from her discussion). And apoint-by-point analysis of the specif¬ic condition of eleventh-centuryEngland seems in order in any bookconcerned primarily with the Con¬quest. Professor Whitelock’s discus¬sion of the eleventh-century churchof “royal priests” is very persua¬sive. She might also have discussedsuch specific problems as feudaliza-tion, agricultural organization andland-holding in pre-Conquest Eng¬land, all of which are mentioned inmost discussions of Anglo-Normansociety.Professor Whitelock also has anannoying tendency to expect eithertoo much prior ignorance or toomuch prior information from herreaders. It is difficult for me to be¬ lieve that any reader familiar withthe careers of Boniface, Dunstanand King Offa of Mercia would becompletely ignorant of the plot ofBeowulf.Professor Douglas’ summary ofthe Conqueror’s career is more sat¬isfying. It is his thesis that Wil¬liam’s experience in strengtheningthe ducal power in Normandy in¬fluenced greatly the methods usedby William to unite England underhis rule. In Normandy William hadutilized the rise of a new aristocra¬cy and a movement for ecclesiasti¬cal reform to weld nobles, churchand ducal power into an cohesivestructure capable of giving real uni¬fied strength to Normandy and itsruler. The union of Norman Eng¬land was achieved through the de¬velopment of interdependent aristo¬cratic, ecclesiastical, and royal pow¬er. And throughout his career Wil¬liam stayed almost constantly atwar. Neither achievement wouldhave been possible had not Williampossessed enormous personal mag¬netism and an amazing ability tocommand the loyalty of his follow¬ers and subordinates, as well as agenius for adapting existing customto his own ends.Professor Douglas’ essay is atightly argued interpretation ofWilliam’s accomplishments. It isperhaps most inadequate in its sug¬gestion regarding William’s motivefor conquering England: I doubt theConquest can best be explained aspart of a Norman “self-assertedChristian mission,” although Wil¬liam’s campaign cannot be separat¬ed from Norman expansionthroughout the rest of the medievalMediterranean world.Colonel Lemmon’s description ofthe conquest’s purely military as¬pects is lively and refreshing. His examination of the ground of thecampaign, his familiarity with mod¬ern buildings and roads on the siteof the decisive battle, his detailedaccount of movements before, dur¬ing and after the battle—enlivenedby descriptions of relevant portionsof the Bayeux Tapestry—all providea coherent, believeable and interest¬ing story. And Colonel Lemmonprovides the reader with that mostinvaluable of aids, a clear map ofthe battlefield.Some of Lemmon’s statisticaltechniques, however, seem ques¬tionable to me. I fail to see whylosses in a reportedly bloodymedieval battle must be of thesame order (after adjustmentsare made for the lack of firearms,the long duration of the fighting,and the combatants’ armor) as thelosses of two bloody modern battles.Colonel Lemmon also uses the in¬genious device of a “spoliationunit” (the difference between thevalue of certain manors at the deathof Edward the Confessor and theirvalue at the time of the Domesdaysurvey) to trace troop movementsafter Hastings. While he is probablyright about the general path takenby William’s armies, his preciseclassification of major and minortroop movements by degrees of spoliation seems to leave other factorsout of account.The last of the four essays, Pro¬fessor Barlow’s considered evalua¬tion of the effects of the Conquest,is a brilliant summary of an ex¬traordinarily complex problemBarlow is in agreement with Profes¬sors Whitelock and Douglas that theAnglo-Norman creation of Williamand his sons draws heavily uponAnglo-Saxon methods of govern¬ment and on Anglo-Saxon law, cus¬toms and culture. “The parvenuNormans were appropriating OldEnglish history,” he says in his as¬sessment of Anglo-Norman king-ship. He firmly asserts that the Nor¬mans did not merely impose Nor¬man custom on English society, butcreated institutions according toEnglish circumstances benefitingfrom rather than repeating the du¬cal achievement in Normandy.The Norman Conquest: Its Set¬ting and Impact would be of im¬mense value to any reader unfamil¬iar with the history and historiogra¬phy of William’s conquest of Eng¬land. The four essayists briefly andintelligently discuss in one way oranother most of the problems of his¬torical interpretation of the Con¬quest within the context of a well-written consecutive (and varied)survey of the background, events,and aftermath of William’s expedi¬tion. There is appended also a brieflist of basic books in the field. Thescholar will find little new in thebook, but the general reader will bestimulated by its concise and enjoy¬able account of the Conquest.Rosalind C.

Schools inthe same locale with similar statususually keep their costs in line witheach other. Generally, tuition ishigher in the Bast than in theSouth and West.Despite these higher prices, moststudents are contributing more fi¬nancially toward their education.Public school students paid 11.9percent of their costs ten yearsago, as opposed to 16.4 percent to¬day. Students in private schoolspaid 48.8 percent ten years ago andcontribute 54.5 percent today.Aid Levels ComparedInstitutions themselves, however,are helping to defray the cost ofeducation to the student throughscholarships. Chicago has the high-1est scholarship rate in the country, with 55 percent of its students re¬ceiving financial aid of some kind.The next highest rate of studentswith aid is at Colgate University,where 50 percent of students re¬ceive aid. Percentages of studentswho have scholarships at otherschools include Yale University, 40percent; Harvard University, 33percent; University of Illinois, 25percent; and Northwestern Univer¬sity, 20 percent.Seventy-five per cent of state-supported colleges in the countrywith half of the total student col¬lege enrollment have raised feesduring the past year.A SURVEY conducted by the Na¬tional Association of State Universi¬ties and Land-Grant Colleges andthe Association of State Collegesand Universities revealed this dras¬tic increase of costs.Tuition and fees have risen on anaverage of 80 percent in the lastJIMMY'Sand th«UNIVERSITY ROOMSCHLIT1 ON TAP THE BEST SOURCE FORArtist's MaterialsComplefe Picture FramingServiceMounting; Matting Non-GlareGlass - School SuppliesBE SURE TO ASK FORWEEKLY SPECIALDUNCAN'S1305 E. 53rd HY 3-41111#% STUDENT DISCOUNTON $10 OR MORE ten years, with a 17 percent cost ofliving increase.THE TWO associations collect allinformation on public colleges anduniversities throughout the country.Their membership numbers 300schools.Median tuition for in-state stu¬dents at state-supported schoolswas $312 last year, and is now $333.Out-of-state students paid a medianof $734 for tuition then, and nowpay $782. This reflects 6.73 and 6.53percent increases in costs, respec¬tively.The average cost for room andboard is $740.In 1964-65, only nine colleges inthe association charged $900 ormore for out-of-state students, andonly four charged $1000 or more.Today, 33 members charge $900 ormore and 18 have costs of $1000 ormore for out-of-state students.

Consequentlythe solution suggested by the Ma¬roon misses the real issue: nothow to save the tarnished reputa¬tion of SG but whether SG evenwith a better reputation for hones¬ty and efficiency can ever be¬come the legitimate claimant forsome future “student role in deci¬sion making.” Unless this is possi¬ble, an investment of time andeffort to “Save SG” and to makeit into something would be wast¬ed.In point of fact, however, SG isdead to everyone except thosewho live in its offices. Institutionsthat do not even have anyone’s at¬tention (except as to errors) canhardly claim to represent anyoneto anyone else. SG is now andperhaps always has been such aninstitution.For awhile it attracted thosew'ho made it into an instrumentfor a political way of life — it wastherefore at the center of the pre¬vious great (and now all but for¬gotten) University issue — theUniversity’s discriminatory hous¬ing policy. It is now inhabited bypeople who live a bureaucraticway of life. Is it any wonder thatStudents who already support ahuge bureaucracy would impishlysuggest at the end of every yearthat the part of it with their nameon it be abolished? At any rate,the present inability of SG to leada movement for a student role isindicated by its invisibility on thecurrent issue of ranking. As forSG’s “long list of accomplish¬ments” which appears every yearat election time, all I need say isthat students should not have tobe told what their “government”did for them.What is needed is a new institu¬tion for leading the movement fora student voice. New things arealways more attractive — witnessthe popularity of new colleges •<•••• v-- • x.:.- -since the first one in 1895. Moreimportantly, people who haveformed a new’ institution are morelikely to use it. Too many are al¬ready too alienated by the dis¬traction of SG to take it seriouslyenough to make it work.Thus it is important that anyinstitution for me expression of astudent voice be organized so thatit can be taken seriously by stu¬dents, faculty, and administrationalike. As much as I dislike thenormal academic divisions, Ithink that it would be best if stu¬dents formed groups in each aca¬demic unit. They are much morelikely to get the ear of facultymembers on things which concernthem both as members of thesame academic unit, as membersof the university, and as citizens.Students already participate insmaller discussion groups in thetwo undergraduate committees onGeneral Studies. The students ofthe Committee on Social Thoughtmeet and discuss the organizationand regulations of their pro¬grams. Finally, a group of Politi¬cal Science students has actuallyarranged to get their books at adiscount. I think that such groupsare much more part of the ser¬ious academic nature of the UCthen SG will ever be. For thatreason even the Great UniversityIssues can better be handled bygroups with direct contact to thefaculty. If necessary ad hoc com¬mittees could be formed to coordi¬nate these effects.RICHARD H.

The Com¬mittee, composed of past and present presidents of women’shouses, will submit their suggestions to a vote by women inUniversity housing during the firstweek of winter quarter.The proposed changes would al¬low first year women one threeo’clock and six one o’clock curfewsper week. If passed by a simplemajority, the resolution will go toDean Wick for his consideration.The Committee has been meetingthis quarter to discuss the commu¬nity life and needs of undergradu¬ate women in university housing.It has studied psychological re¬ports on UC women and has heardthe opinions of various experts—thesubstance of which will be ex¬pressed as reference notes to theresolution. The committee felt that women’shours are not a part of house au¬tonomy and so are not covered bythe new Inter-House Council pro¬posal that each house individuallydetermine its social rules.If the new system were adopted,the punch system would be elimi¬nated. Under the old system, firstyear students after the fall quarter,have a nightly base hour of 12o’clock. For every 15 minutes theyare out after 12, they receive onetime punch. They are allowed 16punches per week. The proposedsystem gives first year women 5extra hours per week, but they must use their 3 o’clocks in onenight, rather than dividing the ex¬tra two hours over the week.Second year women, who now fol¬low the same rules as first yearstudents, would have the sameprivileges as 3rd and 4th yearwomen under the new system. Pres¬ently third and fourth year womenmay stay out until 7 am providedthey have called by 2:00 and left aphone number.

It may beobjected, Miller said, that the pota¬to is a New World crop, and thatthe potato latke could not possiblyhave been invented until after 1492.That argument is invalid, Millerdemonstrated. The potato was cul¬tivated by the Indians, and the In¬dians, after all, were the lost tribesof Israel.Sociologically, Miller said, theLatke and Hamantash are dia¬metrically opposed. The Haman¬tash has upper and middle classGerman origins, while the latkecomes from a working class Polish! source. These distinctions are stillI found today in that the Latke isproduced by home labor, while thehamantash can be bought, frozenand gaily wrapped. Miller referredto a table titled “Selected corre¬lates of preference for the Latke orHamantash,” complied in 1966 bythe National Social Science SalvageCenter. The table shows thatLatke-eaters are prone to be moreliberal than Hamantash eaters,based on a questionnaire containingsuch items as; “Do you prefersliced and packaged chaleh overthe real article?” “Are you in fa¬vor of open occupancy—in yourown neighborhood?” “Do you agreethat the Unique Delicatessen is nei¬ther unique nor a delicatessen?”“Did you vote for Goldwater?” and“True or false: Sol Tax sings goodYiddish.”STANKIEWICZ WOUND up thesymposium with a lengthy reviewof current work in Latkeology andHamentashenalysis, including re¬ports by several Russian experts.He then gave a dramatic readingof a new epic poem extolling theLatke, which he had translatedfrom the Yiddish.

Well sir, here are somethings I’ll bet he doesn’t have: 1) A dentist’s chair. 2) AMach number. 3) A street map of Perth, Australia. 4)Fifty pounds of chicken fat. 5) A pack of Personna SuperStainless Steel Blades.“What?" you exclaim, your eyebrows leaping in wildincredulity. “The man who has everything doesn’t havePersonna Super Stainless Steel Blades? What arrant non¬sense!” you scoff, making a coarse gesture.But I insist. The man who has everything doesn’t havePersonna because everyone in the dorm is always borrow¬ing them. And small wonder! Wouldn’t you be there withan empty razor and a supplicating sidle if you heard some¬body had super-blades that were super-sharp and super-durable; that scrape not, neither do they nick; that shaveyou easily and breezily, quickly and slickly, scratchlesslyand matchlessly; that come both in Double-Edge style andInjector style? Of course you would!So here is our first gift suggestion. If you know a manwho shaves with Personna, give him a safe.Next let us take up the thorny problem of buying giftswhen you have no money. Well sir, there are many won¬derful gifts which cost hardly anything. A bottle of goodclear water, for example, is always welcome. A nice smoothrock makes a charming paperweight. In fact, one Christ¬mas back in my own college days, these are exactly thegifts I gave a beauteous coed named Norma Glebe. I tooka rock, a bottle of water, a bit of ribbon, and attached acard with this tender sentiment:Here’8 some waterAnd here’s a rock.I love you, daughter.Around the clock.Norma was so moved, she seized the rock, smashed thebottle, and plunged the jagged edge into my sternum.Here now is a lovely gift for an American History major—a bronze statuette of Millard Fillmore with a clock inthe stomach. (Mr. Fillmore, incidentally, was the onlyAmerican president with a clock in his stomach. James K.Polk had a stem-winder in his head and William HenryHarrison chimed the quarter-hour, but only Mr. Fillmoreof all our chief executives had a clock in his stomach.Franklin Pierce had a sweep second hand and ZacharyTaylor had 17 jewels and Martin Van Buren ticked but, Irepeat, Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Fillmore alone had a dockin his stomach. Moreover, Mr. Fillmore was the first presi¬dent with power steering. No wonder they called him ^"Old Hickory!”)But I digress. Returning to Christmas gifts, here’s onethat’s sure to pleaae-a gift certificate from the AmericanSociety of Chiropractors. Accompanying each certificateis this fetch ing little poem:Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, iJoyous sacro-Uiacf jMay your spine forever shine,Blessing8 on your aching hack!May your lumbar ne’er grow number,May your backbone ne’er dislodge^May your caudal never dawdle,Joyeux Noel!

In New York, the twin billreceived two off-Broadway honors,the Vernon Rice Award for bestplay, and the Obie Award for bestactor, which went to playwrightWard.IN “HAPPY ENDING/' a youngHarlem cat has nothing but ‘‘Free¬dom Now” scorn for the weepingand wailing of his two aunts. Theaunts, who are domestics, lamentthe fact that the household theyserved is about to break up. But forthe youth, the new economic “free¬dom” that faces them is cause forexaltation. The women stop cryinglong enough to subject their neph¬ew to a caustic education: “Whosefilet mignon does he think hasbeen nourishing him all theseyears?”Reality comes crashing in as thebov realizes that his easy life mayend—that he might have to go outand earn his own living. “HappyEnding” ironically demonstratesthat ‘‘Freedom Now” may markthe beginning of independence forsome, but for others it spells theend of a very comfortable life.“Day of Absence” is a minstrelshow in reverse, with Negroes inwhiteface. A fantastic comedy,“Absence” revolves around the dis¬appearance of all the much-neededdarkies in a Southern town. Moth¬ers are driven crazy by the bawlingchildren they have always left tool’ Mammy. There are no shoe-shine boys, no maids, no cooks.THE POPULACE institutes a lu¬dicrous search for the mysteriouslymissing servants.

The local wel¬fare agency is angry because theNegroes didn’t show enough grati¬tude. And the Mayor is enraged be¬cause ol’ Rufus isn’t around toshine his shoes.The Mayor, played by the author,appears on international televisionand appeals for the return of faith¬ful Rufus and the other runaways.With trembling arm he holds uptheir beloved washrags, wastepa-per baskets, and shoeshine kits andreminisces about the good old days.The entire cast is made up in white-face, and their Southern white di¬alect leaves nothing to the imagina¬tion.Douglas Turner Ward’s biogra¬phy has all the elements of a Hora¬tio Alger story. Born the son offield hands on a plantation in Burn¬side, La., his family moved to NewOrleans when he was eight. Hewent to a Catholic high school, toWilberforce College, and to theUniversity of Michigan.AFTER 2Va YEARS of study atPaul Mann’s Actor’s Workshop inNew York, he was offered anunderstudy role in The IcemanCometh, at Circle in the Square.Later came three years in the NewYork and national companies of ARaisin in the Sun and Purlie Vic¬torious.

FoxOne of the difficulties in talking about student films isthat eventually one ends up talking about the amount ofmoney that a student director has at his command. Unlikethe student writer, both the quality of his product and thenumber of times that he is ableof all, it brings the Symphony.The UC Symphony Orchestra,under the baton of Richard Wer¬nick, Assistant Professor of Music,will be giving its Autumn Quarterconcert this Saturday evening,Deceember 3, in Mandel Hall witha program comprising Stravinsky’sGreetings Prelude, Wernick’sAevia, Hayden’s Cetto Concerto inD, with William Cerneta, soloist,and John Stolie, conductor andGustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1in D, “The Titant'.Wernick’s Aevia, one of a num¬ber of works commissioned by theUniversity in honor of its 75 Anniv¬ersary, will be marking its worldpremiere. Having dedicated thework to the University Symphony,Wernick has expressed his satisfac¬tion in working with amateur en¬sembles like the Orchestra be¬cause, he feels, these are the kindof musicians whom one can get towork really enthusiastically on thesymphonic repertoire, and for lected to perform the Haydn Con-certo as a result of being chosen ;one of the co-winners of last year’sConcerto Competition.The concert, which will begin at8:30 pm, is open to the publicwithout charge. to attempt to create anything islimited by the amount of moneyhe can raise. Thus the quality ofstudent films does not necessarilyalways reflect the ability of thefilmmaker. With this in mind, Ishall report on, rather than review,most of the films, shown lastweekend in New York at thepresentation of the National Stud¬ent Film Awards.Although the competition wasopen to any student, there was acorrelation between those schoolswhich subsidize movies and thoseschools from which the winnerscame. It was not at all surprisingthat the two films which exhibitedthe most technical polish camefrom UCLA. One was a documenta¬ry entitled The Seasons (that re¬sembled the type of film which Lio¬nel Rogosin is presently doing.)And the other was called Farefor-ward Voyager (and resemblesearly Resnais). Besides the moreconventional experiments such asthe two films previously mentioned,there was a film from Wisconsin,Lost in Cuddihy, which resem¬bles the abstract technique of Rob¬ert Breer and Stan VanDerBeek.Metamotant which was firstshown at the Chicago film festival,is an attempt to use film as graph¬ic art. "Riff '65 is from NYU, andshows the influence of ShirleyClarke and New York televisiondocumentaries.Also experimental was the filmthat won the first prize in the dra¬matic category. The filmmaker is atwenty-two year old student at Bos¬ton University named Andy Meyer.I had first heard of him fromfriends in the Boston area, and lat¬er read about his films when theywere shown at the main under¬ground showplace in New York.They have gained praise fromAndy Warhol and Jonas Mekas, aswell as Bosley Crowther.The reason for all this attentionis that Match Girl, the film shownlast week, transcends the catagoryof “student film”. Match Girl is amovie that works; it is a good mov- jie by any standard.It is the story of a girl who jwishes to be an actress (the firstshot of her is a screen test). Meyer [presents her with the Artist (AndyWarhol), a homosexual actor whomshe unsuccessfully attempts toarouse, and at a New Year’s Eveparty to which she never went.

I donot look forward to seeing the seasoned pros so much as I do to watching exciting young ac¬tors exercising their talents in exciting ways, making exciting theatre, exciting mistakes, andarousing in me further anticipations of future achievement. That I see talent smothered inmisdirection and Jerome Kiltyshine out in a vacancy is disap¬pointing. The play is Moliere’sTartuffe, the director is JohnReich.Reich directs from a textbook;his approach is tediously academic.Players are moved about the stagein prescribed rituals, pausing inpretty tableaux, then moving on tomore listless business, none ofwhich exhibits sufficient cause forhappening. During his long speechto Orgon in Act 1, Cleante makesthree or four pointless revolutions about the stage while Orgon sitsmotionless. Cleante has no reasonto move, Orgon no reason for stick¬ing around and listening to thespeech. I suggest that Orgon mightbe occupied with some task thatrequires him to remain in theroom, and that Cleante’s actionmight be directed towards winningOrgon’s attention from that task.But every time Cleante embarkedon another circuit, I could onlymutter: “Not again!” So destitute of ingenuity is this production onthe whole that a bright red, clearlyvisible piece of Orgon’s costumeprotruding from under the tablethat hides him during Tartuffe’s at¬tempted seduction of Elmire wassuffered to sit there and makenoise, provoke discomfort, and sab¬otage suspense. Tartuffe was en¬gaged in dragging Elmire acrossthe stage for the umpteenth time,and that red rag was the most in¬teresting thing on stage. The poor cast, with three excep¬tions, seemed over-directed intosterility; the stage was occupiedwithout being filled, actors wentabout their business without beingabsorbed in it. It would be unfair tocriticize the cast under these cir¬cumstances.Perhaps, then, it may seem un¬fair of me to single out one actressfor special blame, but I think shedeserves it despite the circum¬stances. She is Carrie Snodgrass,who plays Dorine, the maid. Thiswas one of the most self-indulgentperformances I have ever seen.Her voice located precisely at Mar¬tha Raye, her mannerisms atcheeky-chamber-maid, she pro¬pelled herself about the stage,doing violence to every line in afrenzie solicitation of laughter. Yetshe alone of all the younger playersseemed intensely involved in whatshe was doing, and she made allher mistakes so completely, so en¬ergetically, so shamelessly that Imust admit myself conquered. Heremotional resources are terrific,but she will have to master thegentle discipline of self-restraintbefore she can conquer roles.Edgar Daniels, as Orgon, is quiteenough of a pro to overcome thedirection. That he does so only in alimited way is more than disap¬pointing. His Orgon avoids carica¬ture and wretched excess at the ex¬pense of eccentricity. The logicaldevelopment of his character isaborted by too many good ideas,and he lacks wrath. But Daniels’reading has the virtue of accomo¬dating anything else on stage, sothat not even Cleante’s turning andturning is outrageous and it doesemphasize Orgon’s hypocrisy in keeping Tartuffe as a spiritual“yes man” with heavenly connec¬tions.Jerome Kilty would transcendany misdirection. His intellectualresources are enormous, his emo¬tional range is vast, and his Tart¬uffe is at once complex and real,elusive and all there. He is a hairydungbeetle with chapped hands, un¬sanitary like athlete’s foot; every¬thing he touches turns to garbage.He is an evolutionary throwback toa moral missing link, a prodigiousinfant suggesting Richard III orWagner.That Kilty maintains this charac¬ter so consistently is a tribute tohis emotional power. That he con¬vinces one that Tartuffe, unlike Or¬gon, is no hypocrite is an achieve¬ment of intellect. For lust and de¬ceit are Tartuffe’s natural ele¬ments, and in being lustful and de¬ceitful he is but being honest. Whenhe defends himself before Elmireby pleading human nature, oneshudders at his truth, and one ismade to feel that his acquisition ofOrgon’s fortune gives him consider¬ably less pleasure than evicting Or¬gon and his family from theirhome. When he sprawls in a chairlike a small, dirty boy, one iscaught in a perverse affection forhis shameless mischief. His sin isgluttony, unrestrained devotion tothe appetites, and, in the end, likesin itself, he is unrepentent.Kilty’s is a memorable perfor¬mance, but too big for the cast,eliciting from other players toosmall a response.

Rockefeller IV, great-grandsonof the University’s founder, toSharon Percy, daughter of Sena¬tor-elect Charles Percy, a memberof UC’s Board of Trustees.The Chapel currently plays hostto numerous cultural events, non-denominational religiousservices, and, according to Dean E.Spencer Parsons, about a dozenweddings per year.Old-timers at Chicago will re¬member the days when the Chapelused to be the scene of less formalevents. During Robert MaynardHutchins’ term as Chancellor, the Chapel was closed during eveninghours with the explanation that“more souls had been conceivedthan saved there.”According to a persistent legend,it was in Rockefeller Chapel thatSevern Darden, who has sincegained notoriety as a leading mem¬ber of the Second City troupe, out¬faced the campus cops.It seems that Darden was seren¬ading his girl at the organ, whenone of the UC police came in toinvestigate the noise. A chase outof the Keystone Kops followed.Eventually Darden, out of breath,threw himself down where the altershould be, shouting: “Sanctuary,sanctuary!” The cop sheepishlywalked away.—DHRCalendar of EventsFriday, December 2ATHLETIC EVENT: Varsity swimmingmeet, Bartlett Gymnasium, 3:30 pm.

Basketball Season StartsStampf Feels Team Mature, Versatileby Syd Unger“This year’s team is a moremature and a more versatileone,” commented UC’s headbasketball coach Joe Stampf inan interview with the Maroon onMonday.The maturity of the basketballteam will have twofold significanceaccording to Stampf. It will givethem “a greater degree of organi¬zation” thus enabling them to ad¬just more rapidly to changes in theoffensive and defensive patterns oftheir opponents. Moreover, it willenable the Marooners to fast breakmore than they have in previousyears. “The team that makes ^.ew¬er turnovers almost always wins.”said Stampf, “Loss of the ball with¬out a shot is very costly.” Stampffeels that this year’s team will becapable of not losing the ball whenit fast breaks.THE TENTATIVE STARTINGteam has no freshmen on it. MartyCampbell (6’5” third year student)will be the starting center. He ledthe team in field goal percentagewith a 65% mark. Gary Day (6’4” -third year student) and DennisWalden (6’3” - second year stu¬dent) will be the starting Fowards,and “Wink” Pearson (5’8” - thirdyear student) and Dennis Zilavy(6’2” - fourth year student) or FredDietz (6’2” - second year student)will be the Guards. Doug Peterson(6’3”) and Ken Hoganson (6’5”) -both seniors—would have beenstarters on the tentative rosterbut both are hampered by injuries. Cone Appoints Womer to Alumni FundJohn R.
