Bettelheim’s address, “A Psycholo¬gist’s View of the Affluent Society,” was part of Student Gov¬ernment’s Seventy-Fifth Anniver-sary speaker’s series.MODERN MAN, Bettelheim con-'tended, has been freed by the af¬fluent society from almost all of!the physical necessities which en-1slaved man in the past. But, ac¬cording to Bettelheim, freedomfrom physical necessities has alsofreed man from the necessity ofemotional closeness. Thus man hasNORCs Rossi Is Leaving University;Resigns as a Result of Financial Disputeby David L. AikenPeter Rossi has resigned asdirector of the National Opin¬ion Research Center (NORC),which is affiliated with UC,because the University has not re¬sponded to his request for a subsidyto pull the Center through financialdifficulties.Rossi told the Maroon he is leav¬ing to take the post of chairman ofthe department of human relationsat John Hopkins University in Balti¬more. He will replace ArthurStinchcombe, who has resigned theHopkins chairmanship to go to theUniversity of California at Berke¬ley."I HAVE resigned because I feltthe University was not willing toinvest a sufficient amount of mon¬ey in NORC to make it a worth¬while research enterprise. Withfederal fiscal policies what theyare, it has become impossible toexist without a subsidy and dowork on a respectable level.”“I had hoped the Universitywould recognize our contribution,” Peter RossiRossi continues, “but they didn’tcome through.”NORC is a separate corporation,organized in 1941, but has close tieswith the University. The Presidentof the Center’s board of trustees is,under its statute, the Dean of theUniversity’s Division of Social Sci¬ences.(Continued on Page Six) tended to avoid the discomfortswhich accompany emotional close¬ness and has slipped into what mayseem to be a more comfortable iso¬lation.Alienated from SelfFurther, Bettelheim went on,the modern faith in technology hascaused the pleasure principle to bereplaced by the reality principle inearly childhood and children deniedthe freedom to find pleasure intheir own bodies become alienatedfrom themselves.In these terms, Bettelheim rea¬soned, it is possible to say that theproblem of modern man is both al¬ienation from his fellow man andfrom his own body.Also, according to Bettelheim,though many of the irrational fac¬tors which governed sexual prac¬tices, child-raising, and social posi¬tions in the past have been re¬moved, the rational practiceswhich we have either substituted orfailed to formulate do not providethe same emotional gratification.IN DESCRIBING THE moderndilemma of emotional closeness,Bettelheim used the metaphore oftwo porcupines in a cold cave. Inorder to keep warm they mustcome close together. However,when they are close they hurt eachother with their quills. Thus, to sur¬vive they must create a balancebetween being either too far awayor too close.However, Bettelheim said, mod¬ern technology has heated thecave; there no longer is a need tobe close. Thus the porcupines slipaway into mutual isolation. ♦Physical—Emotional Closeness“Physical closeness is a good ba¬sis for learning what is required for Bruno Bottelheimemotional closeness,” Bettelheimstated.He compared the physical struc¬ture of colonial homes, which re¬quired the family to live in closeproximity to each other, to thestructure of modern homes whichallow the family to live in relativeisolation.Bettelheim described the moderndiscotheque as “a belated re¬construction of the closeness of co¬lonial times.”“HOWEVER, PHYSICAL closeness in this late age does not makeup for the emotional isolation ofearlier childhood,” he added.Like wise, Bettelheim viewedmodern drug use and sexual free¬dom as a vain attempt to obtain inadulthood the pleasures which havebeen denied in childhood. “Drugsare an indication of the body’s ina¬bility to supply pleasure,” he stat¬ed.Last MaroonToday's issue is the lastMaroon of the quarter.

ACCORDING TO Dean of Stu¬dents Warner Wick, the new resi¬dence cannot be coeducational be¬cause of its physical layout. ‘-Ht’sjust not suitable to be a coeduca¬tional facility,” he contended.The club presently has 85 resi¬dents of whom 25 are students, ac¬cording to Mary Eichelberger ofthe Eleanor Association, which nowowns the building. The rest of itsresidents are businesswomen andUniversity employees.It serves meals and has a recrea¬tional program for its residents, ac¬cording to Miss Eichelberger. TheUniversity will probably not servemeals, however, speculated Wick.“I think we’ll make it a HarperSurf style do-it-yourself arrange¬ment,” he noted.WICK ALSO observed that, “Thiswill probably not encourage us toincrease the freshman class since Ithink we have enough demand herealready.”The residents of the club havealready been notified that the Uni¬versity will take over the residenceby the middle of June said MissEichelberger.She noted that the Eleanor Clubwas opened 50 years ago by theEleanor Association “whose pur¬pose it is to provide housing forbusinesswomen and students.”Former NSA ChiefsDeny CIA ControlTwelve former National Stu¬dent Association (NSA) pres¬idents have issued a stronglyworded statement denying thatNSA’s independence was comprom¬ised by its association with theCentral Intelligence Agency.The statement, signed by theNSA president in 1952 and all NSApresidents from 1954 to 1964, as¬serts that “The absence of controlsshould be absolutely clear to any¬one who is either familiar withNSA or willing to take the time toreview the record.“For nearly twenty years NSAhas remained constant to the prin¬ciples it established in the late(Continued or Page Fcur)Launched at Boston U.Impeach LBJ CampaignBOSTON (CPS) — A cam¬paign for the impeachment ofPresident Lyndon Johnson hasbegun at Boston Universitywith an editorial signed by eight ofthe nine editors on the student pa¬per, the BU News.The editorial, which according toeditor-in-chief Raymond Mungo, isan “excellent documentation ofwhy Lyndon Johnson ought to beimpeached,” has provoked negativereactions from the local communityand the President of the Universi¬ty, Harold Case, but reaction fromstudents, Mungo said, seems fa¬vorable.MUNGO STATED that when heraised the idea of impeachment be¬fore a crowd of 800 students, he“got a roaring ovation out of it.”Mungo said that “by and large, Idont’ think students here are upsetor at all offended” by the proposal.The editorial was sent as a letterto House Speaker John McCormackin Washington calling for an “in¬vestigation of the merit of the ar¬gument,” Mungo said.After the editorial appeared,President Case told a televisionstation that he had sent a telegramto McCormack apologizing for theeditorial and saying that the edi¬tors’ opinions do not represent theopinions of Boston University.Although Mungo said that Case’saction was unfair, he added that“we assume that McCormack oranybody else who reads Case’stelegram will be intelligent enoughto figure out that Case’s view isalso a minority view.”Except for the President’s tele¬gram, there has been no other ac¬tion from the university adminis¬tration. Mungo said that he is “ab¬solutely sure that Case will take noaction against us.”HE ADDED THAT the universityhas no case for censuring the paperbecause any action by the adminis¬tration “would be simply a matterof dismissing the editors on the ba¬sis of their political opinions.”The BU News asked several writ¬ers and educators to write docu¬mentations for the paper of whyJohnson should be impeached.Three of the participants were theeditor of the Realist, Paul Krass-ner; a professor at the university,Bell is NamedNew ComptrollerHarold E.

At that time,only three student journalists fa¬vored the proposal. Columbia Students ThreatenTwo-Day Strike Against RankWidespread support is de¬veloping for a two-day stu¬dent strike at Columbia Uni¬versity if the administrationdoes not agree to stop compilingclass rank for Selective Serviceuse.According to Columbia PresidentGrayson Kirk, the faculty councilwill decide on the issue at its Aprilmeeting. The council is waiting forpublic release of the Marshall Re¬port, which prepared a study of theSelective Service system for Presi¬dent Johnson.THE COLUMBIA CHAPTER ofStudents for a Democratic Society(SDS) voted earlier this week to hold a boycott of classes on March15 and 16 if the University does notact first on ranking. Yesterday thedates were changed to March 14and 15.SDS also decided to send a letterto President Kirk pointing out theextensive student and faculty senti¬ment which had already been dem¬onstrated against the rank.Students, Faculty AgreeA student referendum conductedby the Columbia Student Councilproduced the largest turnout of anyreferendum held on the campus.Over 70 per cent of the studentsparticipating voted against therank. Earlier last month, a majori¬ty of the college faculty voted to ask the University to withhold classranks.Wednesday several student lead¬ers endorsed the proposed strike,including the president of the stu¬dent council, the head of the dormcouncil, and the president ofthe Columbia Barnard DemocraticClub. All claimed to be speaking asindividuals. An editorial in Wednes¬day’s Columbia Daily Spectator endorsed the strike.FACULTY REACTION to thestrike was mixed. Several facultymembers have said they will support the boycott and not holdclasses. But others have con¬demned it as an act of force, say¬ing the University should not becoerced in its decision-makingwith the gang.We’ll have over 140 flights a week to Europe.

When the opera¬tion becomes self-sustaining, it ishoped that they can be lowered tothe point that they can provide areal student service.”In the report of the faculty com¬mittee to the Dean of Students’ of¬fice. it was proposed: “It is intend¬ed that the student committee shallbe an autonomous as possible.”From all indications, the studentcommittee will have a maximumamount of freedom in deciding en- Marooji Photo by David Meservelegendary Ida Noyes Hall care-the new student-operated snacktertainment, food specialties, foodprices, hours of operation, and soforth.THE ORIGINAL IDEA for theIda Noyes snack shop came iu thereport of the 1964 Blum Committewhich dealt with problems of Col¬lege residents..

The Blum Commit¬tee recommended that this snackshop should open no later than au¬tumn quarter 1965.By autumn quarter 1966. theshop was still in the planningstages.

College Population Increase Predicted:Four Times as Fast as National RateWASHINGTON (CPSI—Thecollege population of the Unit¬ed States will increase fourtimes as fast as the nationalpopulation during the coming de¬cade, the U.S. Office of Educationpredicts.The projected jump in college en¬rollment is 49 per cent. The Officeof Education said that the steepgain in enrollment is expected toresult from higher birth rates inthe late 1940‘s and 1950’s, togetherwith the increasing proportion of students who go to college and thento graduate school.Colleges and universities are ex¬pected to enroll about 9 million de¬gree-seeking students in 1975-76.compared with 6.1 million enrolledin 1966-67.In addition, about one-third of thecollege-age population (18 to 24)may be in higher education institu¬tions 10 years from now.The number of teachers in highereducation is not expected to keepup with the increase in student en¬rollments. The Office of Educationpredicts that college and universityteachers may number 640.000 in1975. up only 36 per cent from thisyear’s estimate of 470,000.CalendarSaturday, March 4CONCERT: Mandel Hall. 8:30 pm.

All the delegatesthere seemed to share the hopesof international co-operation, thenstill in full bloom during the peri¬od immediately after the Russian,British, and American allies haddefeated Germany.AFTER THE IUS meeting, the24 Americans who had attendedreturned and started urging theirfellow students to develop a stu¬dent organization which couldrepresent American students toMost Completeon the South SideMODEL CAMERA1342 E. 5S HY 3 9259NSA Discounts' I got it at theCATHOLIC SALVAGEBUREAU . .3514 S.

With the assistance of thegroups they represented, such asAmerican Youth for Democracy,National Intercollegiate ChristianCouncil, and others, they issued acall for a conference at the Uni¬versity of Chicago, held over theChristmas vacation of December,1946. More than 500 delegatesfrom 294 universities, colleges,and student organizations crowd¬ed into the Reynolds Club.Virtually everyone agreed thata new national student organiza¬tion was desirable, but there wasless than unanimity on the ques-_tion of affiliation with the IUS.which had shown clear signs ofdomination by communists.After seven months of intensedebate about IUS. hundreds ofdelegates arrived at the Universi¬ty of Wisconsin to hold the organi¬zational meeting of NSA. in Au¬gust 1947. After more debate, aresolution was approved which of¬fered IUS a promise of NSA affili¬ation if NSA did not become im¬plicated in any of the pro-Soviet,anti-West noises the IUS had al¬ready been sounding.BEFORE NEGOTIATIONS onNSA affiliation could make anyprogress—in the face of IUS re¬calcitrance—the Communist coupin Czechoslovakia broke out inFebruary,1948.When IUS officers refused to is¬sue any statements condemningthe Communist take-over and kill¬ings of several students, Bill El¬lis, the representative of theAmerican groups which had sentdelegates to the IUS, issued hisresignation with a strong messagecondemning the IUS.Ellis asked the groups he repre¬Wheti you can’t afford to be dullsharpen your witswith NoDozNoDoz keep alert tablets or new chewable mints,safe as coffee, help bring youback to your mental best... helpyou become more alert to thepeople and conditions aroundyou.

NSA, which hadnot even yet been affiliated, con¬firmed Ellis’ action.THE FIRST STEPS toward arival, Western-oriented studentorganization were taken at ameeting in London in December1949, among unions which hadgrievances against the IUS.It was followed in December1950 by the founding of the Inter¬national Student Conference inStockholm. The 21 national unionsof students attending agreed thatthey did not want to set up a newbureaucracy for co-ordination, ashad the IUS. Instead, nationsagreed that each periodic ISCwould have to re affirm its co¬operation each time.NSA’s 1951 Congress agreed tosupport the ISC. and approved theidea of setting up a co ordinatingsecretariat (COSEC) to assist themutual co-operation betweencountries which was supposed tobe the basis of ISC affiliaitions.COSEC has been operating in Lei¬den, Holland, as ISC headquar¬ters.SINCE THE ISC was founded,NSA has co-operated with it, andhas not affiliated with IUS.The future of the ISC is unclear,now that it has been revealed thatmost of ISC’s money has comefrom the Foundation for Youthand Student Affairs, one of thefunds which acted as a conduit tochannel CIA money to the NSA.ISC has not acknowledged this re¬lation, as has NSA.

AikenStudents at the Chicago Cir¬cle branch of the Universityof Illinois staged a quiet, politesit-in this week in the latestround of a student-led effort to re¬peal a state law banning “sedi¬tious” speakers from the UI cam¬pus.The demonstration was plannedbv a group of nine campus organi¬zations to follow a speech—on cam¬pus—by Herbert Aptheker, anavowed Communist and a leadingMarxist theoretician.APTHEKER spoke Monday asguest lecturer in the history classof a faculty member, then ad¬dressed a group of about 300 stu¬dents in one of the outside lectureareas built into the above-groundwalkways that connect buildings onthe ultra-modern campus. Following Aptheker’s speech,over 100 students took the elevatorto the 27th floor of the campus ad¬ministration building, to presenttheir demand to Chancellor Nor¬man A. Parker that he issue apublic statement opposing thespeaker ban law, called theClabaugh Act.According to Irv Himmelblau,chairman of the SDS speakers pro¬gram, representatives of the pro¬testing groups had an appointmentwith Parker, for Monday but re¬fused to meet with him in a privatesession, as he desired. When thestudents showed up on the 27thfloor, Parker would not come downfrom his office on the 28th floor (towhich students are not allowed ad¬mission) to meet with them openly,a Student Government spokesmansaid.

They asked, however, thatParker state his opposition to theAct at the next trustees’ meeting,and that students be heard at hemeeting also.A SPOKESMAN for the groupssupporting the sit-in said Parker’sletter was “not what we want,”and hinted there “may be othersit-ins in the future.”The spokesman, Hugo Pruter,president of the campus chapter ofStudents for a Democratic Society,conceded, nevertheless, that he waspessimistic about chances for theAct’s immediate repeal.A bill for repeal has been passedby Rep. Anthony Scariano.Passed by the state legislature in1947, the Clabaugh Act (namedfor Charles W. Clabaugh, the leg¬islator who introduced it) prohibtsto “any subversive, seditious, andun-American organization, or toits representatives, the use of thefacilities of the University for thepurpose of carrying on, advertis¬ing, or publicizing the activities ofsuch organizations.”EYE EXAMINATIONFASHION EYEWEARCONTACT LENSESDR.

He will be on leave fromthe department next quarter, andwill move to Baltimore around themiddle of the summer.ROSSI SAID he had requested D.Gale Johnson, Dean of Social Sci¬ences, to help obtain a subsidy. Theanswer he received, he said, wasthat “only those solutions would beconsidered which would not involveexpenditure of money,” as he putit.Rossi came from Harvard to jointhe UC faculty in 1955, and wasappointed director of the Center inMay, 1960.NORC conducts public opinionsurveys on contract for scholarlyorganizations and governmentagencies, primarily. Established 26years ago at the University of Den¬ver, the Center moved to UC in1947 at the invitation of the Univer¬sity.Financial TroublesRossi attributed the Center's re¬cent financial embarrassment toseveral difficulties in budgeting. Itis often difficult to finish a re¬search project within the originalbudget, and to properly estimate inadvance how much a project willcost. Also, he admitted, “We madesome goofs.”The Center has also been hardhit by a recent “general cut-backin federal funds,” Rossi said. Heestimated that between 85 and 90percent of the Center’s budgetcomes, directly or indirectly, fromgovernment contracts and grants.Many of the projects sponsored byother universities or private foun¬dations are being supported in thefirst place by some governmentagency, he commented.According to D. Gale Johnson,Dean of the Social Sciences Divi¬sion and President of the Center’sboard, the Center was “able to loseabout a half million dollars overtwo years. That’s an awful lot ofmoney for a non-profit organizationto lose, particularly when we don'thave it.”Johnson said he had been dealingwith William Harrell, Vice Presi¬dent for Business Administrationuntil last month, in an attempt toarrange a loan for the Center. Hesaid the business office w'as hesi¬tant to make the loan until the fullpicture of the Center’s financial sit¬ uation was clear. “We didn’t knowwhat the financial picture was untilabout a week ago,” Johnson said.Rossi said he had made his deci¬sion to resign about a month ago.The Center currently has an op¬erating budget of between $2 and$2*4 million, Johnson said. In thepast few months, he said, “therehas been some cost-cutting of var-ious kinds, in which Mr. Rossi par¬ticipated.” He did not specifywhere costs were cut.THE CENTER has done a num¬ber of important studies, both forcontracting agencies and independ¬ently. Its studies in the field ofpublic health, for example, are con-I sidered authoritative sources of in-( formation on the illnesses sufferedby families, costs of treatment,andpeople’s views on use of medicalfacilities.A recent study by Rossi and Fa¬ther Andrew Greeley, conducted byNORC, on the effect of Catholic;parochial schooling on Catholic stu-!dents’ attitudes, was also consid-I ered an important contribution tothe study of Catholic education.STAFF RESEARCHERS at theCenter include some who are alsoon the University faculty, but mostare on the Center’s payroll alone.In addition to the Chicago staff ofabout 50, the Center employes a na-| tional field staff of over 250 inter-j viewers.The Center staff moved to itsnew' headquarters on Ellis Ave., be¬tween 60th and 61st Streets, lastyear. It was formerly crammed jinto a renovated house at 5720 S.1Woodlawn Ave.The building was constructedwith a grant from the National Sci¬ence Foundation, with about 60 per¬cent of the costs coming from theUniversity.

The protests have long sincesubsided, but there is still a desperate need for adequate stu¬dent housing.The addition of the Eleanor Club to the University’s dormi¬tory system is a sound move under the circumstances, but it isimportant that we not lose sight of the general problem evenas we give our hesitant approval to the various stop-gap mea¬sures taken by the University.EVEN THOUGH THE acquisition of the Eleanor Club mightbe viewed as an adequate temporary move to alleviate thehousing shortage, it still does not mean that anyone has formu¬lated what is most needed—a long-range plan for housing Uni¬versity students in Hyde Park.Almost everyone remains in doubt about the University’slong-range plans in the area of housing. There has been talk oftownhouses and apartments on the cleared area of 55th Street,but no details or dates have been revealed.The need to buy places like the Broadview and George Wil¬liams is a clear indication that plans which should have beenmade years ago were not made.IT WILL BE SAD indeed if the University by its inatten¬tion to the need for housing is continuing in the mistake of thelast five years, but we see little indication in the Eleanor Clubpurchase and recent developments anything approaching ade¬quate preparation for the future is being made.Roy CohnWe were all set to welcome the new owners of the Universi¬ty National Bank to the community until we found out whothey were.It turns out that the new owners of the friendly corner bankare none other than Roy Cohn—Senator Joe McCarthy’s brightcounsel turned businessman—and a pack of his associates.SO WE’VE RECONSIDERED our welcome and decided notto offer it after all. Instead, we thought it might be moreappropriate to mention a couple of the reasons we don’t likeCohn.We could mention the days with McCarthy but that’s ancienthistory and after all, Cohn might have reformed—look at Rich¬ard Nixon. Instead we’re only going to bring up the last fewyears because we think they give a good indication of whatkind of a businessman Cohn is and is likely to be in the future.During the winter of 1960-61 the same group that is buyingthe University National Bank purchased the almost bankruptFifth Avenue Coach Lines in New York. They immediatelyfired 18 senior bus drivers and in the process caused a strike.To end the strike the city was forced to take over the bus linesand attempted to buy it from Cohn at the price he paid for it.Cohn, having owned the bus line for a total of one month, aprice that was several times what he had paid for it and laterwent to court in an attempt to collect.COHN WAS INDICTED in 1962 for a conspiracy to ob¬struct justice in a stock fraud case, and ater acquitted. In 1965the Internal Revenue Service investigated Cohn’s income taxreturns and those of his law firm but did not hand down anyindictments.None of this means that Cohn is unscrupulous, but it doesindicate that there are grounds for entertaining doubts. As faras we’re concerned, Cohn is probably on the same level as abusinessman, that he was on as a lawyer, and that’s not thekind of businessman it’s worth doing business with.The MaroonedMiss Friedman’s group of sixth graders at the Lab Schoolhave entered the UC publishing world in a big way. They calltheir paper the Marooned and it comes complete with a liter¬ary supplement, editorial page, and features section.THE LAB SCHOOLERS claim that their paper is called theMarooned because their office is marooned on the fourth floor,separated from the rest of the Middle School. We suspect,however, that the similarity between the Marooned and ourown publication is not accidental and we feel honored to beparodied by a group of young journalists capable of puttingout a newspaper as impressive as theirs. ChicagoPuts UC David H. RichterCircle TheatreDrama to Shame *I just had the exasperating ex¬perience of attending a perfor¬mance of Th« Crucible, staged bythe Chicago Circle Players, theUniversity of Illinois’ theatregroup. It would be exasperatingfor anyone who has hopes forUC’s drama program. It put us toshame.What does U1CC got that weain’t got? Certainly not talentedactors. Jeff Grimes and ZevileNumgaudas gave fine perform¬ances as John and ElizabethProctor, but one never really for¬got that these were student actorswhose abilities were developing,whose capacities were stilt ex¬panding.CERTAINLY NOT FINE facili¬ties. The UIOC theatre is sched¬uled to be built around 1970, anduntil then the Circle players areusing the nearby Eleventh StreetTheatre. This stage, which I be¬lieve has been unused for seriousdramatics for many years, wasone of the group’s greatest handi¬caps. There is scant room to hanglights and far too little spacebackstage. Mandel Hall, for all itshorrors, would have given thecompany a much better shot atprofessional techniques.Worse yet, the Eleventh StreetTheatre, owned and operated bythe College of Jewish Studies next door, is closed Friday nights andSaturday afternoons, even (orespecially) to such secular per¬formances as Arthur Miller plays.To say the least, this restrictioncramps the style of the players,forcing them to break up theirseries of performances and losemuch of the remunerative week¬end bQsiness.What do they got, then? In thefirst place, they got a helluva di¬rector. Willie Raffeld, thirtyyears old but looking muchyounger, put together a show in away that made our own JimO ’R e i 11 y’s efforts look sick.O’Reilly’s forte, by common re¬port, is coaching actors, and fre¬quenters of UT know well howmuch he can get out of a cast ofrank amateurs. Here Raffeld isonly his equal.Where Raffeld shines is in mak¬ing the whole production more thanmerely the sum of individual per¬formances. His actors work to¬gether better than I have everseen them do, either in UT’s prod¬uctions during the academic yearor at Court Theatre. His blockingis nearly faultless. Set and cos¬tume design, though powerfullyeffective in their own right, weresubordinated to mesh beautifullywith Raffeld’s dramatic idea.ALL OF THIS makes for a con¬ sistency and a coherence nearlyunknown at UC. Compare this,dramaturgy with the week-kneedproduction of The Hostage herelast fall: here one had to watchthe actors very closely and turnone’s head away from the sloppi¬ness of the technique.The other thing they got is aschool of drama. Now whether ornot we should create such a de¬partment here I leave to wiserheads than mine. But it seemsclear to me that the total immer¬sion in the business of theatrewhich courses in acting, lighting,and scene design offer the studentcan only result in a more com¬plete commitment to quality. Ifthis is what happened at UICC—and I can only conjecture aboutthis aspect of their work—thiscommitment is embodied in a su¬perior variety of university thea¬tre.AND NO MATTER what its ul¬timate causes, the simple factthat you get better theatre foryour money at Chicago Circle re¬flects upon the way UT is organ¬ized and staffed. I have no easyanswers for improving the qualityof dramatic productions on thiscampus—I doubt there are any.But the incontrovertible evidenceof UIOC’s superiority argues thatsomething can and must be done.Letters to the Editormm mmmt mmsmmOn GinsbergTO THE EDITOR:Oh, Maroon, couldn’t you havesent someone to Ginsberg’s read¬ing who has some knowledge ofpoetry, preferably contemporaryAmerican poetry?Your editorialist spewed theusual tripe about offensivenessand incomprehensibility that hasaccompanied every new directionin poetry in the twentieth century.(Not that Ginsberg is really“new”: City Lights Press hasbeen publishing his poems nowfor ten years and it’s about timeyour people caught up with him.)Following a scintillating andimaginative opening analogy abouturinating in public, he (your wri¬ter) stated the worn-out thingabout, “Well, of course, you dohave to see the bad side of life,too, but heck, you don’t have to. . .” You get the idea.He said that the artist “mustinclude what is sometimes offen¬sive, not only in thingssexual...”, etc. Now what doesthis mean? My roommate put Rnicely as we read the editorialover an equally bland WoodwardCommons breakfast: “That’s fun¬ny, I haven’t noticed anything of¬fensive about sex in years.” Let’shope your editorial writer some¬day gets over his neuroses.Then there was that review ofthe actual reading: “Ginsberg:Poetry or Bull?” I usually expecta reviewer to have some idea ofthe difference between the two.Yours opened her article with aquestion and followed-up with aconclusion derived from a possi¬ble answer to it. She spent nowords describing or evaluatingthe poetry itself, until near theend she felt compelled to say thatsome of the poems were too longand contained too much “super¬fluity” and “ ‘bullshit’.” Very in¬cisive criticism.Maybe she (and maybe you,too) should be reminded thatGinsberg is not trying to writelike Keats. (By the way, did you know that T.S. Eliot can’t bescanned either?) If he has anypast model, it is the vision of Wil¬liam Blake; I saw no reference tothis in your articles. Ginsberg’spoems are, firstly, intensely sub¬jective as are those of all goodpoets writing in the United States.They concern especially the“drug” experience. (Other adjec¬tives commonly used are “reli¬gious” and “mystical,” but notmany will accept that.) His lines are comprised of pieces of reflec¬tion, observation, insight piling ontop of each other in often violenttorrents. His concern thematicallyis with die brainwashing use oflanguage by government, press,racists, and other distortionists.His concern stylistically is withthe uses language may be put to(including that private languagewe all use in our thoughts, butrarely on paper) in expressing the(Continued on Page Ten)Chicago MaroonEditor-in-Chief David A.

M.l.T. Press. $8.95.Douglas Pike is a tousled, too-busy, heavily bespectacled littleman who looks more like an haras¬sed druggist than the most knowl¬edgeable American authority onSouth Vietnam’s National Libera¬tion Front.But he is, and he’s not reluctantto talk about it. Of his new book,Viet Cong, he says: “My Viet¬namese friends tell me not only didit show them many things about theViet Cong that they didn’t know',but that the Viet Cong could use itto learn some things they don’tknow about themselves.” Pike is notafraid of being contradicted. Hisbook stands by itself—there is noth¬ing else about the Viet Cong.Since the beginning of the Ameri¬can buildup in 1956, the Viet¬namese have seen a constant turn¬over of well-meaning Americans whoarrived, committed all kinds of cul¬tural and political blunders in theirfirst few months, then were rotatedhome by the Defense or State De¬partment just as they were begin¬ning to learn something about Viet-Nam.During this period Pike was oneof the few who stayed on. He gavesix years to a personal study of theNational Liberation Front—theshadow government that is challeng¬ing Saigon and the U.S. for controlof South Vietnam—and Viet Congis the result. No American seriouslyconcerned over what is happeningin Southeast Asia can afford to passit by.(Ironically, Pike has now left Viet¬nam for a new post in Hong Kong,primarily because policy forbids hiswife to be here with him. One wayor another, the U.S. makes suremost of its experts wind up in thewrong places. Incidentally, is therea Doug Pike for Thailand on thehorizon?)Pike writes as an American per¬sonally committed to defeating theViet Cong. He is an employee of theState Department, and he firmlysupports—in fact has helped toshape—major aspects of Americanpolicy in Vietnam. This should bekept in mind, for it colors his con¬clusions—but it should not discount the material he has presented. Forthe most part, it is material used bythe Viet Cong themselves.The book is not propaganda. It isa careful, serious study. Pike admitshis bias, and he is intelligentenough to know that a movement assophisticated and broadly based asthe Viet Cong will not be beaten bydistorting the facts. His purpose isto render the Viet Cong intelligible,not to portray them as illegitimate.To do so, he goes back into Viet¬namese revolutionary history, trac¬ing the development of the clandes¬tine society, the first nationalist po¬litical parties, the Communist Partyof Indochina, the Viet Minh and fi¬nally the present insurgents whosebastardized name has now been ac¬cepted by almost everyone—theViet Cong. He offers an excellentshort analysis of the fatal weakness¬es of the Diem regime, and caps hisbackground with an account of theorigins of the NLF in the middleyears of the Diem period.Here one of the book’s two majorweaknesses appears: Pike does notdocument controversial conclusions.He says (page 76) that the NLFsprang full-blown from the head ofHo Chi Minh, and that the griev¬ ances it exploited “were developedor manufactured almost as a neces¬sary afterthought.” But he does notprove it, and other experienced ob¬servers disagree. They believe thatalthough Ho certainly provided theinspiration and the model for theFront, the organization itself wasbuilt painfully and slowly—on veryreal grievances—by Southernersfrom a small territorial base in WarZone D north of Saigon.Similarly, Pike states (page 116)that by the end of 1965 the NLFhad been “taken over by cadresfrom North Viet Nam and managedby them down to the village level.”Nowhere does he prove this, andmany knowledgeable foreign corre¬spondents are astonished that hewould make such a statement. Allthe evidence indicates that thereare Northerners in key positions inthe NLF—but to deny that there isstill significant Southern leadershipin the Front is to fail to come togrips with what it is all about.The heart of the study, chapterssix and seven, deals with organiza¬tion-building and the communica¬tion of ideas. “The NLF’s one un¬deviating thrust from the start,”says Pike, was “... not the killing of ARVN soldiers, not the occupa¬tion of real estate, not the prepara¬tion for some great pitched battle atan Armageddon or a Dien BienPhu, but organization in depth ofthe rural population through the in¬strument of self-control—victory bymeans of the organizational weap¬on.” Pike hits the basic truth four¬square: no national movement hadever before tried to identify itselfwith and to organize the Viet¬namese peasantry.Pike sets out in some detail whyand how these organizations w'erebuilt. They are basically of tw>otypes—the Administrative Libera¬tion Association, or vertical com¬mand chain, and the mass-basedFunctional Liberation Association,a horizontal social group (like farm¬ers, or youth or women) used large¬ly to spread ideas.Of the picture of the Front thatemerges—its leadership, its com¬mand structure, its favorite tools,its programs for liberated andnon-liberated areas, the role of thePeople’s Revolutionary Party—themost disturbing aspect is how muchof it is brand new, totally unfamil¬iar to hundreds of thousands ofAmericans who feel they are mak¬ing a great sacrifice because their(continued on page two)TABLE OF CONTENTSBehavioral Science:The Empty Fortress, by Bruno |Bettelheim 2 ;Criticism:Language as Symbolic Action, §by Kenneth Burke 8Fiction:The Dissent of Dominick Sha- flpiro, by Bernard Kops ... 3 |The Man in the Glass Booth,by Robert Shaw 6Tlooth by Harry Mathews .. 7 |History:Hell in a Very Small Place, by mBernard B.

By contrastwith the Viet Cong—who have ob¬viously made a science out of thenature of the people and the natureof the enemy (see page 96)—it isclear that most Americans andmany Saigon government cadresare still operating in the dark.Enlightening as Pike’s peek atthe Viet Cong is, it is incomplete:the book's second major weaknessis its omissions. The author does notdeal—cannot, because he does notknow—with the way substantivepolicy is formulated at the highestlevels, the personalities who aremost influential, the kind and de¬gree of outside influence, moralefactors and divisions within VietCong ranks. He used all availablesources—captured Viet Cong docu¬ments, material printed for distri¬bution, a series of 100 interviewswith defected or captured cadres, .Liberation Radio dispatches and thepersonal knowledge of Vietnamesefriends. But it is worth noting thatthe information came largely fromdocuments used to train or instructcadres in how to strengthen theirorganizations.Pike’s thesis is that the strengthof the Viet Cong lies in their care¬fully conceived, painstakingly built,centralized monolithic organiza¬tions. which have enabled them tocontrol large numbers of people ina society otherwise fragmented by ahundred ethnic, historical, political,religious, cultural and regionalcross-currents. This perception isbasic: in South Vietnam todaythere are many more forces work¬ing for disunity than for unity.But that truth, important as it is,may obscure others. In his emphasis©n the tight organizational struc¬ture which makes possible widecommunication and rapid mobiliza¬tion of the peasantry, Pike has fo¬cused on the potential for manipula¬tion.There is no question that this po¬tential exists, that it is exploitedwherever possible by the Front (ormore accurately by the People's Rev¬olutionary Party within the Front)mid that it holds vast moral and cul¬tural implications for Vietnamesesociety. But to highlight it at theexpense of other factors—for exam¬ple the fanatical staying power ofih* Viet Cong and its revolutionarythrust, the demand for an end to^©tial injustice, corruption andprivilege—is to undersell the prod¬uct, or, in Pike’s frame of refer¬ence, to underdiagnose the diseaseand underprescribe the remedy.Thus when Pike says (page 124)that the NLF’s secret weapon was“not superior ideology, not morededicated personnel, not. .. volun¬tary support of the villager, but thesocial movement shaped into aself-contained, self-supporting chan¬nel of communication,” I believe hehas subordinated the whole truth toa part of it, and has fooled himselfin the process. There are plenty of2 • Chicago Literary r indications that, in addition to pos¬sessing a magnificent organizationalmachine capable of manipulatinglarge numbers of uninformed peas¬ants, the NLF also has superior ide¬ology, more dedicated personneland in many cases the voluntary, ac¬tive support of the villager.And the reason is not far to seek.It is because the NLF has becomethe rallying point for all those disaf¬fected from the arbitrary burdens,corruption and incompetence of thecentral government. That disaffec¬tion has been nurtured over severaldecades, watered effectively byagit-prop cadres denouncing Ameri¬can neocolonialism and its saggingSaigon lackeys. This disaffectionmade it possible to build such or¬ ganizations; this was the reasonthousands of men and boys are stillwilling to go without food, sleep inswamps and endure sickness andwounds without medical attention—just to achieve what they call thevictory of the people.Pike’s thinking has already in¬fluenced American policy in Viet¬nam. Both military people and ci¬vilians place increasing emphasis on“eliminating the Viet Cong infra¬structure,” tearing apart link by linkthe apparatus that the Front uses tocontrol the struggle against the Sai¬gon government. Rather than sim¬ply “killing VC,” growing attentionis being given to capturing or kill¬ing key political cadres, and to wip¬ing out organizational nerve cen¬ ters (a significant example is thevillage of Ben Sue, near the IronTriangle north of Saigon, one ofthe major targets of the recentOperation Cedar Falls).The American response to insur¬gency is becoming more sophisticat¬ed, but it is still aimed primarily atthe tool used by the Viet Cong, notat the source of their strength, thegrievances of the people. So long asthose grievances remain, no matterhow many insurgent organizationsare wiped out, there will be newones to take their place.Howard MoffettMr. Moffett is the Saigon correspond¬ent for the U.S. Student Press Associa¬tion's Collegiate Press Service.Autism for the MassesThe Empty Fortress is a well-organized study of the severe psy¬chological disturbance known as in¬fantile autism—a disorder whichgenerally strikes during the firstthree years of life. Bettelheimargues that although its exact originhas not been definitely established,infantile autism is a functional,non-organic disturbance which canbe cured if treated early enough.He supports the general belief thatautistic withdrawal results from se¬vere frustrations during infancyand early childhood. Because theymisinterpret their life situations,autistic children feel powerless toalleviate their anxieties and eitherwithdraw into private fantasies orexist obliviously. Feeling that deathis imminent, they attempt to post¬pone it by not accepting life.The most severe cases so vehe¬mently reject the fact of their exist¬ence that they become insensitive topain and lose whatever autonomythey once had. Although such chil¬dren appear neither to see nor hear,and often nfcver speak, there is noorganic evidence that they areblind, deaf, or dumb.In an especially provocative sec¬tion, Bettelheim parallels the symp¬toms of autistic children to those ofschizophrenic prisoners in concen¬tration camps. Such prisoners, over¬whelmed by the seeming hopeless¬ness of their situation, withdrewinto fantasy worlds or succumbed to the threat of non-existence, likewiserelinquishing the powers of sight,hearing and speech. Of course, au¬tistic children never develop a fullpersonality before they withdraw,while the prisoners’ former person¬alities simply disintegrated.The Empty Fortress presentsthree detailed case histories of au¬tistic children treated at the SoniaShankman Orthogenic School atThe University of Chicago. Laurie,a seven year-old mute autistic child,spent a year in the school and waswell on the way to rehabilitationwhen her parents withdrew her. Afew years later, however, she hadregressed to the vegetable-like ex¬istence of her early stages at theschool.The two remaining cases con¬clude more satisfactorily. Marcia,the second case, was partially re¬stored. Since she had entered theschool at a late age, however, shewould never function independent¬ly in society.Joey, who was ultimately re¬stored to complete social function¬ing, is the most interesting of thethree. Unlike the two girls, Joeyspoke and had autonomy, but be¬cause to him the world appeared sounresponsive, he had retreated intoa private realm of machines: hisbodily processes depended on gad¬gets of his own invention. But afternine years of therapy, Joey re¬turned to society and completedhigh school. Although these children respond¬ed to treatment with varying de¬grees of success, Bettelheim pointsout common factors in their back¬grounds: the most notable was inad¬equate attention from their mothersin their early years. The childrenreacted with autistic withdrawal,and, paradoxically, by fortifyingthemselves against a seemingly hos¬tile world lost the identities theyhad sought to save.Although The Empty Fortressdeals with technical subject matter,Bettelheim manages—as he hasdone so well previously—to explaina complex problem in terms readilyunderstood by the layman.Kathleen BurkeMiss Burke is a third-year studentmajoring in English at Loyola Univer¬sity.The Chicago Literary ReviewEditors-in-chi«f: Edward W.

Coward-Mc-Cann, Inc. $4*50.Bernard Kops, a gifted Anglo*Jewish novelist and playwright haswritten an amusing and trenchantstudy of middle-class Jewish life intoday’s London, as seen through theeyes of an unhappy sixteen-yearold.Dominick recoils in horror fromthe bourgeois comforts of his fami¬ly—the house in Golders Green(which his mother obstinately pre¬tends is really in Hampstead, amore fashionable district), his fa¬ther’s dress making business, theprivate school he attends, his fa¬ther’s new car. He is the odd manout of the family, viewed with sus¬picious distrust by his well-adjustedcollege-student brother, Alex, andhis mink-equipped sister, Sharon.Even his infant niece hates him. Hisfather tries fitfully to cope withDominick, though his mind is morethan half occupied by the demandsof the new “Spring Range” of dress¬es to be got out. His ever-patientmother, Paula, a sort of AnglicizedBessie Glass, floats around hopeful¬ly. waiting to stuff Dominick withfood and so bring him back into thefold.To it all, Dominick goes aboutshrieking, “I dissent! I dissent!” At¬tired in his great-grandfather’s Rus¬sian fur coat, unbathed and un¬shorn, he refuses to attend school,turns a family wedding into a riot(by accusing the bride’s father of in¬cest t, takes up with a pack of up¬per class hipsters, is arrested for va¬grancy and then again for climbingthe scaffolding around Big Ben,waving an anarchist flag he hassnatched from a speaker's platformin Hyde Park. His rebellion is all-inclusive and inchoate, striking outat everything and anything. In a su¬preme act of defiance against mid¬dle-class values, Dominick takes offhis shoes in the middle of Londonand hurls them under a passing Jag¬uar.Characterizations are well drawn,hops shows himself able to enterinto and render credibly the mindof a sixteen year old boy in a waythat rivals Salinger, and perhaps, bybeing less sentimental, surpasseshim. Particularly well done is Dom¬inick’s ambivalence toward his par¬ents. “I rather like you, Mother,” hesays, “You mean well.” He feelssimilarly about the tall blonde hip¬py Daffodil whom he befriends.He didn’t care if she was stupid,and not in the slightest bit myste¬rious. He reckoned he owed hersomething and he was going to findas many opportunities as possible --for paying her back. Tonight forinstance there would be sin by the;ea.Kops has caught admirably the mix¬ture of pomposity, tenderness,doom-obsessed madness and self¬mockery that make up a boy likeDominick. What is more, Kops re-tains a fine objectivity, resisting the temptation to idolize the young reb¬el. For instance Dominick, who pro¬fesses to hate the Establishment,cannot help putting his privateschool training to work when hejoins up with the hippies. He ap¬points himself their leader and triesto order them around, so that final¬ly they abandon him on a lonelybeach.The character of the father, LewShapiro, is perhaps the most inter¬esting. A harried and self-proclaimed neurotic businessman,Lew cannot understand his son’s re¬bellion, though he vaguely sympa¬thizes with it. In most stories of thistype, the father is cast as a merce¬nary villain, but here he receivesthe author’s sympathy. Lew’s baf¬flement is genuine and pathetic, buthis obsession with his own problemsand his business keeps him frombeing anything to his son but a dis¬tributor of largesse. He proves awitty and competent person, howev¬er, when, in one of the book’s finestscenes, he gets his son out of a sen¬tence for vagrancy in a small-towncourt. . . you will see we have atight knit family life. If you studystatistics we will find, and this has mum.been confirmed, Your Lordship,that delinquency is practically un¬known amongst the Hebrew frater¬nity.”There is plenty of comedy. Theopulent wredding at which Dominickappears in his ratty fur coat is agem of satiric humor, as anyonewho has ever attended one of theseover-lavish spectacles can testify.Under the tents of Mayfair the chil¬dren of Israel were assembled forthe marriage of Fiona and Antony.Good job they, didn’t have to crossthe Red Sea tonight. He and hisreflection laughed together when hevisualized Paula with a bundle ofMatzos on her back, trekking thedeserts of North Finchley.The book’s recurrent theme isthe softness and affluence of mod¬ern Jews compared to the hardi¬hood of their forbears. Dominick, inhis desire for adventure and inde¬pendence, is a throw-back, a primi¬tive which is symbolized by the Rus-sicwi fur coat he finds hidden awayin a cupboard. It belonged to hisgreat grandfather, and for Domin¬ick it represents the national andhistorical roots that he as a Diaspo¬ra Jew does not possess. Here he was, trapped in the uni¬verse, suspended in the nothingnessof Golders Green, of all places, andshe couldn’t even offer him a realand exact lineage. All she could dowas shake her head. He would liketo have known his origins. Hewanted to weep for the origins hedid not have. If I can’t have myorigins at least let me have thecoat.To Dominick the coat symbolizespower and potency and he wrears iton his adventures: “In this coat youcould cross the desert. In this coatyou could defy the Arctic wastes.” Inthe end, when Dominick capitulatesand agrees to reform, he does notdestroy the coat, but hides it backin the cupboard, perhaps to awaitdiscovery by some rebellious childor grandchild of his.This is a truthful, funny novel,marred at times by dramatic excess¬es (Dominick shoots off a sky-rock¬et at the end to show' he has notquite given in). Nevertheless it is aw’ell-wrought book that casts muchillumination on adolescent Jews inparticular, and all young people ingeneral.Ronald RosenblattMr. Rosenblatt is a third-year studentmajoring in English at The Universityof Michigan.March, 1967 ® C HICAGO LITERARY REVIEW •TEXTS AND CONTEXTS .British Poetry: Beats and VicarsIn terms of anything other thanquantity no one could say that thepoetry situation in England at thepresent time is one of alarmingcreativity. As the other arts are in astate of energetic restless upsurge—especially the performing arts ofstage and screen—it is perhaps sur¬prising that the traditional great es¬tate of poetry appears poorly ten¬anted and almost bankrupt. And Ithink this saddening state of affairscannot be explained away simply bysaying that the flourishing arts arethose which are most heavily spon¬sored by the state. Or by insistingthat the poet is in a difficult posi¬tion because his books rarely sellmore than a thousand copies—oreven by noting the (comparatively)small number of little magazinemarkets in England now. These aremerely contributory factors. Theproblem is deeper; better poetry isbeing written in many other placesw here external conditions are muchworse. If I may be presumptuous(and that is almost essential whentrying to cover such a large subjectin such a small segment of time andspace) I would say that the maincause of the present nadir is notone of environment at all. It is oneof attitude—the poet’s attitude.Since the Second War it seemsthat two diverging streams of poet¬ry have re-sprung from this for¬merly fertile land. One of thesestreams is cosmopolitan. The otheris more “native” and tends to relyon the old verse-forms and agrarianimages and subject matter (if we de¬fine these terms loosely) which havebeen the root-bed of English poetryfor a very long time. Michael Rob¬erts created distinctions betweentwo such separate but sometimes,then as now', intermingling streamsthirty years ago in his “Introduc¬tion” to the epoch-making FaberBook of Modern Verse. (Incidental¬ly this w'as newly re-edited last yearby the American poet and biogra¬pher Donald Hall, and, I might add.stripped of much of its former “lyr¬icism.”) When Roberts wrote his“Introduction” there w'ere manybrightly coloured fish swimming inboth streams—now. alas, what fishthere are don’t seem ever to reachtheir- proper spawning grounds.The difference Is that since theearly fifties the cosmopolitan fishhave received the greater part of their sustenance from a swim acrossthe Atlantic to catch the crumbswhich fall from the mouths of thatparticular and big American speciescalled the Beat. Instead of sharingin a common and established cosmo¬politan poetic heritage, the heritagetransmitted most notably throughPound. Eliot, Auden and Lowell,they are hoping to learn from whatto them, after all, is an essentiallyalien tradition derived from suchAmerican “nativist” poets as Will¬iam Carlos Williams and produced,at least in part, bv what the Beatsconsider the particular glories andevils of American society. This notto say that those same evils—or sim¬ilar ones—and some of the sameglories do not exist in Britain. Butsolutions for the English poet shouldbe conditioned at least to some ex¬tent by the particular nuances whichas an English poet he inherits. Thusthese English neo-Beat poets, suchas Michael Horowitz, Pete Brown,Anselm Hollo (a transported Finn)and Adrian Mitchell, sound veryshrill in England's misty air. WhenMitchell — along with other andmuch better Beat poets such as Fer¬linghetti and Corso—appeared at thegreat Albert Hall recital a whileback (of which there is fascinatingprinted record in the book WhollyCommunion) he received a standingovation for his anti-Vietnam warpoem. This was well-deserved for ofits type the poem is very fine. It hassince been incorporated with moreof his lyrics into Peter Brook’s con¬troversial Royal Shakespeare Com¬pany production US. However aspoetry rather than propoganda hispoems rarely stand up to a closereading. They consist largely ofbald statements to which any goodliberal would assent without think¬ing and a few images which are soloose that I will not permit myselfthe disservice of quoting.There are. of course, other Brit¬ish poets who have swum a littleway with the Beats and have been(consequently?) greatly enlivened:Thom Gunn for one-especially inMy Sad Captains (Faber). AlthoughGunn is too wrell knowm to need more than a mention here I wouldlike to point out that this recent col¬laboration with his brother, Posi¬tives (Chicago), is an aesthetic blendof poetry and photography which iswell worth buying.In the older, truly cosmopolitanstream, it has always seemed to methat Lawrence Durrell is by far themost exciting. However, since hewas bound rather well with Eliza¬beth Jennings and R. S. Thomas inthe first of the Penguin ModernPoets series a few years ago hedoesn’t seem to have publishedmuch, or to have been at his best inpoetry. And his recent book TheIkons (Faber) is marred by a lack ofcontrol and an easy mellifluousness;it is as though he had taken some ofthe very evocative descriptionsfrom his Alexandria Quartet andchopped them into lines to stand aspoetry.The last year has also seen RobinSkelton, w'ho is himself a poet ofsome note, editing the CollectedPoems (Oxford) of that too under¬read and scarcely rated poet, DavidGascoyne. After not reading it for along time it was somehow' surpris¬ing to find that even his less sur¬realist poems still shake fire, as. . . with an angrier Sun may HeWho first with his gold seed thesightless fieldOf Chaos planted, all our trash to. cinders bring.Compared to this fragment of “Sep¬tember Sun: 1947” nothing that acontemporary of Gascoyne’s,George Barker, has to offer inDreams of a Summer Night (Faber)is distinctive. As Conrad Aikenonce said of the sun on a smallgrassblade I say of Dreams, “pay noheed to that.” But do pay heed tohis earlier poetry, especially hisgreat sonnet, “To My Mother.”After so airly dismissing a sec¬tion of England’s poetic output Iwill now discuss (I’m tempted to say“dismiss” again) some of the rest inwhat will necessarily have to contin¬ue to be very general terms. Thereshould be less wind here because itis the “native” stream which,though healthier than the other,gives rise to the worst qualms inthis particular watcher. For thereappears no real cause for the slack¬ening off; it just seems that thesemore native post-war poets have notbeen able to continue making the transition—which Auden reallystarted for them—from agrarianthemes to urban ones without a fall¬ing off of tension and a sense of—boredom! But is that a cause? I donot know . One could do worse thanagree with Alvarez (whose The NewPoetry (Penguin), is still the best in¬troduction to contemporary Britishpoetry) that the recurring English“vice” is an inability to resist whathe calls “gentility” in the way thatsome American poets (he cites espe¬cially Lowell) are able to do.There remain the great old menlike C. Day Lewis. Spender. IlerbenRead (whose new' Collected Poems(Faber), came out this year) and theincomparable Robert Graves. Butthe young? I do not think it unkindto change the metaphor and saythat for the greater part petty pad-dlers rule the waves. To me the twohuge exceptions are Ted Hughesand the Welsh parson. R. S. Thom¬as. Naturally I like others and wishI had the space to say why. Espe¬cially notable are: Laurie Lee, whois available in a Vista Books selec¬tion; Alex Comfort’s Haste to theWedding (Eyre and Spottiswoode);Dannie Abse—particularly Poems,Holders Green (Hutchinson); andthe very Scottish Ian CrichtonSmith’s Thistles and Roses (Eyreand Spottiswoode). But Hughes andThomas are the true heirs of thenational seas. It is interesting tonote as an aside that neither ofthese two poets has really made thetransition to urban scenes andthemes.Hughes is most available in theFaber paperback Selected Poems ofTed Hughes and Thom Gunn andhis fame in the U.S. is well de¬served—but it makes for difficul¬ties in finding a poem from whichto quote, a poem which is not al¬ready well-know n by those who care—and not to quote him would belike writing about actual fish with¬out pointing out that the whale issomething more and different froma large fish and hence quite ex¬ceptional. His “Reveille” in the(continued on page five)A •CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • March, 1967(continued from page four)Critical Quarterly’s supplementNew Poems 1966 (an uneven an¬thology further marred by the in¬clusion of one very old poem) isnot Hughes at his best but it isrepresentative in that it deals witha ‘big’ subject slightly obliquelyand with great energy. The serpent,after inflicting “a sudden, cruelbite . . is still. Its headSmiled under the lilies.Behind him, his coilshad crushed all Eden’s orchards.And out beyond EdenThe black, thickening river of hisbodyGlittered in giant loopsAround desert mountains andawayOver the ashes of the future.As R. S. Thomas is less well-known I would like to devote therest of this article to him. He wasborn in 1913 and is not thereforeyoung but it is only over the lastfew years that he has become trulyprominent; John Betjeman saysthat Thomas started to reach an ap¬preciable audience only after “AlanPryee Jones commended (his poet¬ry) on The Critics programme ofthe BBC”! He is the vicar ofEghwys Fach, Cardiganshire and,needless to say, not at all relatedto Dylan Thomas—although inter¬estingly enough his religious poetryshows some affinity to Dylan’slater work. Here I might add thathis overtly religious poems—suchas the recent “Piet a” and “InChurch”—do not seem as intenseor as finely religious (in the deep¬est sense of the word) as his os¬tensibly secular poems.The secular poetry of R. S. Thom¬as (which is to be found in his fourmain works Song at the Years Turn¬ing, Poetry for Supper, Tares andBread of Truth - all Rupert DufourHart-Davis) covers a wide range ofsubjects. There is the great Welshhero Glyndwr; songs about the sea¬sons—some, like the lovely “Nightand Morning” adapted from theWelsh traditionals; the encroach¬ment of the machine age; a wartimeevacuee; the depopulation of theWelsh hills, old age; youth; the par¬ish priest’s sick visits; the death oflove and of animals; and the birthof knowledge: in fact all the ages ofman. What ties these together andgives each volume its unity is thecontinued use of very vivid andpowerful natural imagery. LikeIf you had spared from your longstoreof days lavished upon the LandBut one for her where she layfallow,Drying, hardening, withering towaste.But no—too late.” You're an oldtree.Your roots groping in her in vainSuch imagery places each poem in aparticular setting and time and en¬PICTURE CREDITSBelita Lewis . Pages 1, 6, 12Sarah Burns Pages 2, 7Bob Griess Pages 3, 4 ables each one to reverberateagainst the others. Also his ambiva¬lent attitude towards the Welshpeasants in his care (perhaps bestsummed up in “A Priest to His Peo¬ple”) give the poems an inimitabletension; Thomas gives no patanswers to the important questionshe asks. Therefore the reader isdrawn to see the face he sees andcome to his own conclusions, con¬clusions almost certain to be equal¬ly ambivalent!As one works through a series of“seeings” with Thomas one is con¬tinually surprised at the suddenturns of feeling which are yetstrangely inevitable—see especially the longish “The Airy Tomb.” Asall of his poems are very tight Iwould like to quote a complete one.He speaks for himself with thatWelsh sound which he elsewherecalls “the source of all poetry, clearas a rill bubbling from your lips.”Because of my limited space it willhave to be a shorter poem than thelength he seems most striking at. Itis called simply “Song”:We, who are men, how hall weknowEarth’s ecstasy, who f els theploughProbing her womb.And after, the sweet gestationAnd the year’s care for her con¬dition? We, who have forgotten, sc longagoIt happened, our own orgasm,When the wind mixed with ourlimbsAnd the sun had suck at our bos¬om;We, who have affected the liveryOf the times’ prudery,How shall we quicken againTo the lust and thrust of the sunAnd the seedling rain?One is tempted to say that poetslike Hughes and Thomas himselfwill show us—and other poets—how.Mick GidleyMr. Gidley is a graduate student inthe department of English at the Uni¬versity of Sussex.MeetNick Dozoryst, 22He’s a ChicagoLaw studentHe rebuilds carsHe can read 2,000 words a minuteWatching Nick’s hand ^ fly over the pages (his hand actsas a pacer), you’re certain he must be skimming.

Harcourt, Brace &World, Inc. $4.50.We might have found the assassi¬nation of President Kennedy morecomprehensible had it been commit¬ted by a conspiracy of right-wing seg¬regationists rather than by a manwho deserves our pity and contemptas much as our hatred. The measlycriminal and the monstrouscrime—such incongruity adds thecrowning thorn to an act alreadyoutrageous by le^s subtle standards.The existence of this jronv in theatrocities committed under t'1'* ae¬gis of the swastika has been sug¬gested most notably by HannahArendt, in her book Eichmann inJerusalem: A Report on the Banalityof Evil, which proposed that the manwhose trains punctually carried thechosen people to Mathausen, Tre-blinka, Buchenwald and Belsen hadthe character not of a Satan, but ofa clerk. Eichmann. made physicallyill by observing the application ofpistols and gas to helpless prison¬ers. was still proud of his efficiencyin transporting them to such a fate.Imagine a sea of blood suddenlyflooding the Jerusalem courtroom;as its level inexorably rises, Eich¬mann. trapped in his bulletproofglass booth, still concerned that hisopinions be taken seriously, want¬ing to be judged by his reservationsrather than by his acts, might cry:“I only performed my duty,” and“some of my best friends wereJews.”Not only Eichmann’s uncon¬sciousness of guilt, his utter banali¬ty, the great discrepancy betweenthe man and his acts, but also thecomplicity of many victims and by¬standers in the work of destruction:these ideas, although often misun¬derstood, had great impact onpublic opinion. The Nazi holocaustwas a terrible revelation of demonicforces in history, involving the al¬most limitless possibilities for hu¬man evil and degradation, and thedestruction of both the human im¬age and the divine.Now Robert Shaw, gifted in act¬ing as well as authorship (he playedin The Luck of Ginger Coffey andcan now be seen playing King Hen¬ry VIII in the film A Man for AllSeasons), has written a brilliantlysardonic philosophical novel aboutone man’s response to the legacy ofoutrage, irony and guilt left afterthe defeat of Nazi Germany. Thenovel itself, in large measure basedon Arendt’s reportage and conclu¬sions, suffers when its literary in-breeding becomes too obvious, orwhen its events are formed into aflimsy framework upon which tohang ideas. Such faults lead to someembarrassing moments in this nov¬el, but for the most part they areovershadowed by Shaw’s convincingportrayal of a hero obsessed withthe ideas in question.Mr. Shaw's narrative and dia¬logue are constructed with the vig¬orous imaginative freedom and brisk poetry found in such dis¬parate modern writers as Saul Bel¬low, Richard Stern and J. P. Don-leavy, an exuberantly masculinestyle capable of being grave andfarcical at once. In this vivid man¬ner, Shaw relates the tale of ArthurGoldman, an immensely wealthyManhattan Jew with memories of aGerman past breeding like toad¬stools in the cellar of his mind. Twoincidents stimulate these memories.One in the newspaper:In the elevator a smiling silver-haired Irishman drew up the gildedchair, handed him his newspaper,and said: “So the Pope has ab¬solved the Jews, Mr. Goldman.”His attorney frowned, his secretarycoughed, gravely he replied: “Ihad thought it was Christ who didthis.” In the elevator the musicwas Samuel Barber’s.The other on Wall Street: Goldmansees a man who looks like AdolphKarl Dorff, a man of Goldman’sown weight and age, emeritus colo¬nel in the Einsatzgruppen of theS.S., and guard in the concentrationcamp in which Goldman was impris¬oned. Only later do we learn thatthe two men were cousins, (al¬though Dorff’s mother was Jewish,his father was not).These circumstances could easilybe the setup for a melodramatic script in doubtful taste. The authoravoids this. What happens is thatthe past comes to haunt, finally todominate Goldman’s present. Hiscommunications fill up with quotesfrom recent history, Catholic doc¬trine, Mein Kanipf. Eichmann haddescribed his distaste for the mobilegas vans at Chelmno:I only remember that a physicianin white overalls told me to lookthrough a hole into the truck whilethey were still in it. I refused to dothat. I could not. I had to disap¬pear.Goldman looks through a similarpeephole to see men struggling andcursing in a white chamber; only itis at his health club, and they areplaying paddle-ball. In his ornateapartment he maintains a lockedmuseum of wax figures rivalingMadame Tussaud’s:Going to the record player, the oldman took off the march, looked forthe “Horst Wessel,” found it, putthat on, and returned to theFuehrer.Saluting, Goldman left theFuehrer and passed on. Like a gen¬eral on an inspection tour, he wentfrom one to the other, lookingcarefully at each, scanning them upand down, uttering an occasionalpleasantry in German, and all thewhile wearing that gentle smile. ToGoering, he said: “How’s yourthigh wound—playing up a bit?” To Goebbels he said: “Roehm’s got anew joy-boy.” To Heydrich: “Youwill pursue your enemies evenfrom the tomb.” To Roehm, laugh¬ing: “Adolph’s a petit-bourgeoisand to think he learned all militarymatters from you. I told him youwere bisexual!” And finally toHimmler, at whom he seemed togaze longest: “There is a God.And we are His instruments.”His obsession develops amid anatmosphere of acid jocularity, highfinance, mysterious travels and in¬tricate maneuverings. Goldman ad¬dresses oracular pronouncements tohis flunkies and guests; he slaps hissecretary Cohen and shouts anti-Semitic abuse at him; he takes towearing jackboots around thehouse; it is clear that for some rea¬son he is becoming Dorff. In duecourse he is arrested by Israeliagents and taken to Jerusalem to betried. He admits to being Dorff andhaving posed as Goldman. In thedock on Bezalel Street, where Eich¬mann was tried, Goldman-Dorff is asensation: jovial and unrepentant,he recounts his carefree enjoymentof torture and mass-murder.In this section the author’s de¬pendence on Arendt’s interpreta¬tions becomes most obvious and an¬noying. Indeed, the prisoner him¬self glibly refers to her as “thePrincess Hannah.” Insofar as thisnovel is a response to Arendt’s in¬terpretation of historical events, wemust bear in mind that this in¬terpretation, although brilliant, hasbeen questioned on several points—among them the acceptance of Eich¬mann’s view of himself as a persontaking no pleasure in crime, and theeavaliev treatment of many who be¬lieved they were taking melioristicsteps in the midst of the gatheringcatastrophe.On one level, by becoming the ac¬cused, Goldman is fulfilling the vir¬tuous homiletic role Sade attributedto himself:. . . never, I repeat, never will 1depict crime as being anything elsebut the work of hell. I want people(o see it stripped bare, so that theymay fear it, so that they may hateit; and I know of no way of achiev¬ing this end other than showingcrime in all the horror characteris¬tic of it.He is showing an evil which is not“hanal,” he is bringing to the dockan unhypocritical villain. On anoth¬er level, however, as in Sade, thereare darker and more personal mo¬tives for Goldman’s self-crucifixionin the glass booth. These have to dowith Goldman’s relationship withhis cousin Dorff, with Goldman’ssense of involuntary complicity. Inthe camp, Goldman neither brokenor betrayed; what remained was atension between two simultaneousemotions, his identification and con¬tempt for the killers as well as fortheir victims. This tension makesGoldman’s strange mission a strik¬ing manifestation of some of themoral conflicts involved in thoseparts of history which constitute thenightmare from which we are striv¬ing to awake.Robert LavineMr. Lavine is a fourth-year graduatestudent in the department of physiologyat The University of Chicago.6 •CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • March, 1967Stumps and aTlooth, by Harry Mathews. Double¬day & Co. $3.95.TJooth in so many ways cannot bereviewed. In so many ways it eludesa reader: from the tone the narratortakes to her subject to the digres¬sions that constitute half the book,from the tightness of the action tothe seeming irrelevancies of thewhole story. What follows, then,should be seen simply as attemptsat elucidation and appreciation.The book has tremendousanti-climactic effect. Only afterreading it, or upon re-reading it,does one realize at all how deep andintense are the emotions that runthrough it. The narrator has hadthe index and ring fingers of herv ' ,* ii*ijh%' •* M'left hand amputated by her cousin,and a surgeon, Evelyn Roak, whosold “human fragments to a deli¬catessen.” The stumps of her fin¬gers receive an infection which,throughout most of the book, seemsto be an incurable case of syphilisthat increases in ugliness and pain.Vet the fact that the fingers hadbeen removed, and the fact that shehad been a violinist, are announcedby the narrator in a footnote (on thefirst page) to a short description ofEvelyn Roak’s activities in general.The narrator is so objective abouther own feelings that we never real¬ize how agonizing the loss of herfingers has become, both physicallyin the infection, and mentally in theloss of music.The narrator is so cold-blooded,too, that one is never certain (untilabout twenty pages before the end,when we finally learn her first andmiddle names, which are Nephthysand Mary) whether she is a womanor a man. No identifying modifiersare used either by the narrator orby people talking to her, and no ac¬tions are given the narrator whichare not ambiguous—in fact, consid¬ering the strength (physical andmental) required for some of her ac¬tions, one is almost tempted to callher a man.The action of the book is com¬plete in itself. The narrator (youcan never accustom yourself to call¬ing her Nephthys or Mary) wishesto be revenged on Evelyn. The ac¬tion begins in a Russian prison camp, from whfm Evelyn is freedbefore the narrator can succeed inkilling her. A quarter of the booktreats the narrator’s escape withsome other prisoners and their wan¬derings across Russia to Afghani¬stan. The rest concerns her follow¬ing Evelyn—and finally her successin bringing Evelyn to her justice,ironically (in her capacity as den¬tist) by telling Evelyn that a deadlyinfection she has in her teeth ismerely a slight irritation.When the narrator is in Venice,she discovers that Evelyn frequentsa chapel whose attendance is regu¬lated by a Count. She befriends theCount and writes a pornographicfilm for him in order to gain accessto the chapel; but this is notenough, so she must sleep with theCount, who turns out to be a wom¬an. The Count takes her to thechapel where there is an oracle inthe shape of a bog into which onedips his leg up to the knee for oneminute and eight seconds. The ora¬cle says: “Tlooth.” It will not speakagain to the same person for anoth¬er year. And thus, one suspects, thetitle of the novel.Also at the Count’s house, shemeets a smuggler (male) namedJoan. Toward the end of thenovel—after she faints for a secondtime and finds herself in the Alps ata hospital run by a doctor who hasbeen searching for her ever sincehe met one of her co-escapees,heard described the infection onher stumps and knew he could cureit (because it is not syphilis, butyaws)—she meets Joan again andthey get married.This sounds very funny. Yet it isnot. The narrator is deathly serious,and for good reason. What strikesus as funny (the coincidences whichseem artificially produced) is reallythe fact of living in a world intri¬cately constructed, and the narratordeals heroically with this fact—not, it might be said, with the humorone normally expects, but with a de¬termination one can respect—in or¬der to accomplish her goals.The action is complex yet coher¬ent. Given some improbable possi¬bilities, almost everything proceedsfrom the amputation of the narra¬tor’s fingers. Yet the action itself isonly half the book; there is digres¬sion after digression, each one nec¬essary (the narrator thinks) to ex¬plain certain happenings whichcause important actions in the bookto occur. The pattern is simple andis a result of (while it contributesto) the narrator’s undercutting andundervaluing of everything thathappens. In each case the simplephenomenon is stated and somereactions to it given; only then isthe cause of the phenomenon ex¬plained in enormous, perhaps gra¬tuitous, detail.Part of the amazing quality of thebook is that the reader can neverreally discount the digressions asuseless. In come indescribable waythey become as essential to the nov¬el as the action itself; constantly weare made to feel that there is a rea¬son for everything. The book iswell-wrought. The logic of its sen¬tences, its paragraphs, its digres¬sions and actions, is not explainedmerely by the narrator’s mode ofthought but also by the overridingvision of the book itself.There are themes, of course.There is the method of dentistrypracticed by the narrator—the“King Dri” method which treatsteeth as “wayward” members of asociety who have rejected their vo¬cation and must be persuaded to re¬gain their proper place. There isalso the complex religious divisionof the camp into Defective Baptist(the narrator’s religion) Fideist,D a r b y i s t, Resurrectionist, andAmericanist, and the complex rela¬tionship of these sects in the worldthe narrator finds outside the camp.(Defective Baptists, by the way, be¬lieve that no man deserves baptism;Every opinion makerwill soon ne discussingthis book...shouldn’tyou form your ownopinion first? THE PLAY THEORYOF MASSCOMMUNICATIOHby william Stephensonauthor of The Study of BehaviorThis exciting, erudite .ind innovative work can have theprofound impact on the field of communications thatThe Lonely Crou d and Cybernetics had in their fields.It presents a whole new theory of mass communicationas essentially entertainment, fun and play; therefore,not informational, but attitudinal in essence. Mr. Steph¬enson puts forward a body of principles and proceduresconstituting a theory for the empirical study of theentertainment aspects of mass communication. Theprocedures derive from Q-methodology which is predi¬cated largely on subjective rather than objective prin¬ciples of measurementThe varied applications of this theory extend to suchdiverse subjects as the Army — McCarthy hearings, thelatest situation comedy, your favorite newspaper, thereduction of international tensions,and the concept ofdemocracy. The great themes of war, peace, charis¬matic leadership, and national character can be intel¬ligently explored and explained in terms of the theoryof play. This is a major work - one that no reader whoconsiders himself well-informed can afford to miss.$5.00THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESSChicago and London7Bth Y«ar “e^ en those who have been baptizedwin only a fleeting purity, since noteven divine grace can long redeemmortal corruption.”)But to attempt to attribute mean¬ing to these themes and to say thatthe book concerns the ferreting-outof puzzles, questions the nature ofreality, deals with sickness of themind and the body, is to limit it sogreatly that one shrinks from con¬ceptual analysis. More important, itseems, than the intellectualisticgames played by the narrator is theamazing drive which keeps hergoing. For there are moments ofsuch delicate anguish—when shetouches a medallion she won forplaying the violin, when she beginsto cry (toward the end), humiliatedby the loathsome appearance of herstumps—that the book rises higherthan concepts.These moments are so delicatethat one often misses them. It mustbe said, in fact, that the narrator’sstyle is so cold that the book is nojoy to read. It must also be notedonce again that our reflections onher anguish come only after thefact of reading, not during it; onlythrough the memory, not throughthe act of apprehension.

Stony Island 734-6393March, 1967 • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • 7Won’t You Come into My Parlor?Language as Symbolic Action,by Kenneth Burke. Universityof California Press. $10.00.He sits, an enigma, suffi¬cient unto himself, like a spi¬der at home in the center ofhis delicate web. An enigma:his writings are as lucid as anycriticism written in the lastthirty years, and yet they addup to a mystery as frustrating,as fecund as Nietzsche’s myth¬ic philosophy. Sufficient untohimself: a persistent influenceon writers, artists and criticsover the last three decades, hisown ideas do not seem to havechanged appreciably since thepublication of The Philosophyof Literary Form. A spider inhis web: the threads of his sys¬tem spread out fiercely from asingle point; at the extremes,he touches upon psychology,politics, ethics, semantics, aswell as literature; follow himoack to his starting point downany one strand and the entirestructure of ideas is seen tochange in aspect. Burke sits atthe center, but one cannotstart there, in the midst of allhis bountiful complexity. In¬stead let us take a walk downone of the strands of his web.For its purity of attention toa single subject—literature—the best place to begin is with his essay “Coriolanus—and theDelights of Faction.” The es¬say takes the form of a proph¬ecy: Burke’s method is “pre¬dicting” what Coriolanusought, enteleehially, to be; hethen “checks” his predictionby consulting the text. The as¬sumptions Burke starts withare as follows: the play, a trag¬edy, will have as its subjectsome sort of “symbolic action”in which a victim is sacrificedfor the purgation and edifica¬tion of the audience. The vic¬tim must be appropriate forthe sacrifice, so that the audi¬ence will find the ritual ac¬ceptable. The audience’s ex¬pectations and desires will bemolded by the circumstanceswithin the play, but (and thisis most typical of Burke’s ide¬ology) the rhetoric will touchon topics relevant to valuesand tensions prevalent in thesociety outside the play—Elizabethan England.So much for the postulates;now for the play. There was inEngland at the time Coriolan¬us was written considerablediscord between the upper andlower classes even riots causedby the Enclosure Acts. Shake¬speare stated this malaise be¬tween aristocracy and peasant¬ry in terms of a struggle be¬ tween patrician and plebeianin ancient Rome. Given thedramatized tensions, we nowneed a victim. He must be a“perfect” patrician, coura¬geous, upright, and noble—otherwise the audience wouldnot consider him a valuableenough scapegoat. At the sametime, he must carry his patri¬cian qualities to excess (hybrismeans “excess” in Greek, aswell as “pride”—excesses ofarrogance and insultingpride—or else the audiencewould not be willing to lethim be victimized. Coriolanus’virtues and vices work togeth¬er to make him an ideal sacri¬fice to the Elizabethan politi¬cal tensions.More is needed, however:the victim, by his very nature,demands a slayer. So fromCoriolanus’s character we de¬rive Aufidius, who has vowedto destroy our victim. We alsoderive Coriolanus’s mother,Volumnia. whose presence isnecessary at two cruxes in theplot: she must persuade herunpolitical son to run for theconsulate of Rome; she mustpersuade her war like son notto pursue the campaignagainst Rome—the two inci¬dents that respectively pre¬pare for and bring about his sacrifice. Other more or lessminor characters can also bederived from the initial situa¬tion: we need Titus Lartiusand Cominius to establish Cor¬iolanus’s value as a socialbeing, and his wife Virgilia(“my gracious silence”) to seehis worth as a family man:without these we may lose oursense of Coriolanus as a victimworth sacrificing. Last, weneed Menenius for contrastwith the hero/victim, as hetypifies the “reasonable” (thatis, unexcessive) aristocrat.Burke sums up his work on“predicting” Coriolanus wTith aformula for tragic works:Take some pervasive unresolvedtension typical of a given social or¬der (or of life in general). Whilemaintaining the “thought” of it inits overall importance, reduce it toterms of personal conflict (conflictbetween friends, or members of thesame family). Feature some prom¬inent figure who, in keeping withhis characters, though possessingadmirable qualities, carries thisconflict to excess. Put him in a sit¬uation that points up this conflict.Surround him with a cluster ofcharacters whole relations to himand to one another help motivateand accentuate his excesses. So arrange the plot that, after a logical¬ly motivated turn, his excesseslead necessarily to his downfall.Finally, suggest that his misfor¬tune will be followed by a promiseof general peace.The differences betweenthis analysis of tragedy andLe$ Paras Meet the Yellow PerilHell in a Very Small Place: TheSiege of Dien Bien Phu, byBernard B. Fall. J. B. Lippin-cott Company. $8.95.Bernard Fall had no ambi¬tion to become America’s fore¬most authority on Vietnam;he wanted to be his genera¬tions’ best military historian. Ithink he has succeeded on bothcounts. His chronicle of thebattle marking the end of theFrench Indochina war is su¬perb—both in narration andanalysis.Fall’s qualifications for thistask are unmatched. He servedin the French resistance aswell as the French Army dur¬ing the second World War, didresearch for the Nuerenbergtrials and the United Nations,and, after studying politicalscience, went to Indochina in1953, where he observedFrench forces in combat oper¬ations far behind Communistlines—the only US-based writ¬er to have done so. Rigorous¬ly researched, Hell in a verySmall Place draws materialfrom all conventional sourcesas well as secret French Armyfiles and dozens of personal in¬terviews with participants. Setdown in Professor Fall’s bril¬liant style, the book is as de¬finitive a history of Dien Bien,JPhu as can be written tenyears after the event. It is un¬ fortunate that this must be thelast in Fall’s fine series onwar-torn Indochina, where theauthor recently was killed. TheFrench invaded by air the tinyvalley of Dien Bien Phu in thenorthwest mountains of whatis now North Vietnam, on No¬vember 20, 1953. The generalrationale was one with whichthe French had had some suc¬cess earlier in the war—strongly fortified hedgehog po¬sitions were placed in enemyrear areas, forcing him to di¬vert troops in defense of thoseregions. General Navarre’splan was to fail decisively atDien Bien Phu, just as varia¬tions of the same plan were tofail for the Americans tenyears later.Fall makes the major fig¬ures of the battle comealive—particularly the fewkey French generals. Here themost interesting contrast is be¬tween the figures commandingthe actual garrison and thosewho commanded the head¬quarters in the rear. Underthe pressure of the battlefielddistinctions disintegrated andjobs were re-distributed ac¬cording to ability rather thanrank—even to the point of ac¬tual mutiny, when a group ofofficers, the “paratroop ma¬fia,” relieved General de Cas¬ tries of his power, leaving himleader in title only. But inFrench Army Headquarters inHanoi and Saigon, GeneralsNavarre and Cogny and theirstaffs were immersed in thebureaucracy of war, icily fight¬ing their own battles of memoseach trying to get more of hisown views on the records sothat historians would blamethe other for the debacle atDien Bien Phu.The difference b e t w e enarmchair and field generalsgave rise to some quasi-comical interchanges betweenthe front lines and headquar¬ters. In the face of desperatepersonal needs the combatcommanders called for mas¬sive paratroop drops. As pre¬requisite, the bureaucrats de¬manded properly trained para¬troopers and regulation dropzones, which of course wereout of the question in the tinycitadel at Dien Bien Phu. Forthe field commanders, notablyColonel Langlais, the leader ofthe “paratroop mafia” runningthe show, a parachute was“just a handy way of gettingout of an aircraft in mid-airand could be used by any rea¬sonably agile man who hadjumped off a street car.”When the planes arriving atnight objected to the non¬ ex i s t e n t drop zones, theywould be met with Langlais’swrath: “Merde! You can tellColonel Sauvagnac that I’lltake the responsibility for thedrop zone violations. Dropthose men!” The drop wasmade successfully.By current United Statesstandards, Dien Bien Phu wasfought with pitifully smallforces. There were about10,000 air missions flown toDien Bien Phu in the fivemonths it was occupied by theFrench. As Fall points out, in1966 American aircraft oftenflew more than 25,000 sortiesweekly. Professor Fall pains¬takingly shows that, giventheir supply situation, theFrench never had a chance ofwinning the battle. Their de¬feat was caused not by faultyintelligence, but by a series ofslight miscalculations whichhad devastating results. Beforethe main fighting started,French generals had made sev¬eral decisions which doomedthe fortress.The French believed that agarrison of 5,000 fighting mencould hold a perimeter of thir¬ty-one miles. Previous experi¬ence in Indochina should haveshown them this was vastly in¬adequate.(continued on page ten) that of Aristotle is quite signif¬icant: while in the Poeticscharacter and thought are sup¬porting elements logically posterior to the plot, Burke makesthought the prior principle,from which character andeven action are ultimately de¬rivable. Actually, there issomething prior even tothought: the external situationwhich motivates the play¬wright’s symbolic responseArt cannot, for Burke, be sev¬ered from the Big World OutThere which has caused it tocome into existence.Burke’s essay on Coriolanusis concerned with “pure litera¬ture,” as pure, at any rate, asBurke will ever let it be. But ifwe journey a ways towards thecenter of the web, literaturebecomes mixed with all sortsof things. Myth, psychologyand physiology enter into thediscussion of fiction in his es¬say “The Thinking of theBody: Comments on the Im¬agery of Catharsis in Literature.” An outline of histhoughts on Wagner’s Ring Cy¬cle should give some idea ofBurke’s methods here.The grand plan of the tetralogy, Burke notes, developedbackwards: Wagner beganwith the theme of Siegfried’sdeath (“a dignification of loveby the imagery of tragic sacri¬fice”), only to find that thetale needed background in thehero’s youth. This too seemedincomplete, so he added the in¬cestuous affair between Sieg¬fried’s parents, Siegmund andSieglinde. Last, he found herequired the “original sin,”the theft of the Rhinegold byA 1 be rich. Taking offfrom these well-reported facts,Burke begins by claiming that“for all the apparent scope ofthe dramas, they fit neatly intothe pattern of one life.” TheTwilight of the Gods concernsthe complications after mar¬riage (Wotan and Fricka); Sieg¬fried deals with the wooing ofa bride by a manly hero (Sieg¬fried and Brunhilda); The Val¬kyrie, which relates the inces¬tuous union, stands for “thestrongly narcissistic motive’of early adolescent love.What then could be the sub¬ject of The Rhinegold, if thewhole is viewed as successivestages in the erotic history of adeveloping individual? Infan¬tile sexuality, obviously; Al-berich’s choice of gold overlove suggests the rejection ofthe genital for the fecal. Al-berich himself stands for “theinfantile desire that by train¬ing is made equatable with theforbidden.” Here Burke divesinto his subject matter, claim¬ing that in the opening sceneof The Rhinegold “the infantileact of playing with feces is(continued on page twelve)8 • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • March, 1967n * i' j ? f t. (l i ► i ,***Strange SelectivityThe Wrong Man in Uniform,by Bruce K. Chapman. Tridenipress. $3.95.The Selective Service Sys¬tem has until recently been re-jarded by many Americans asa mysterious but necessary or¬ganization which insured thatthere would always be a suffi¬cient number of men in theArmed Forces. The little thatuas known of the workings ofthe system seemed to implythat it was as universal anddemocratic as its spokesmenclaimed. After all, everyonewas required to register andevervone's case was handledby a local board. Besides, ifsomeone were drafted, it wasprobably the best thing forhim. He wasn't in school,wasn't married and probablywasn't making much money. Astretch in the Army would dohim good. He would serve hiscountry and become a realman in the process. Fewdoubted the validity of the sys¬tem.Rut now, in the midst of theVietnam war, with increaseddraft calls resulting from esca¬lation of the “war effort,” peo¬ple are beginning to wonder.The draft is hitting home.Boys from the neighborhoodare dying “over there.” Mar¬riages are rushed or post¬poned. Educations are inter¬rupted or senselessly pro¬longed. Families are losinghusbands and fathers. Andvery few people are sure ex¬actly why. The Selective Serv¬ice System and its operations,national and local, have be¬come a matter of concern toparents, students, employers,employees, husbands, wives,and almost every young fellow'mi the street. Some are react¬ing. The government has setup face-saving commissionsand investigations; universitieshave held conferences; stu¬dents have held demonstra¬tions. Condemnations are fre¬quent, solutions numerous andaction only sporadic and limit¬ed.This debate has promptedMr. Chapman to write hisbook. His main thesis is thatAmerica's draft policies are“antiquated, inefficient, anduneconomical” and that thesystem itself is “inherently un¬tree and coincidentally undem¬ocratic.” In 143 pages he un¬dertakes to criticize the pres¬ent Selective Service System,analyze and condemn variousattitudes and individuals sup¬porting it and offer his own so-ution to the present situation. The post-war “baby-boom”has come of age and has flood¬ed the draft pool. The presentdraft system, organized fifteenyears ago, is incapable of deal¬ing with this mass of regis¬trants. In its attempts to con¬trol the size of the 1-A poolthrough locally administereddisqualifications and defer¬ments, the Selective ServiceSystem has effectively man¬aged to abolish any remnant ofuniversality or fairness in itsoperations. Deferments aregranted solely at the discretionof the local board and normsare arbitrarily changed accord¬ing to board members’ atti¬tudes and the board's need tomeet a monthly quota.Mr. Chapman’s solution to the draft situation merits at¬tention. He calls for a three- tofive-year transitional draftwhile a plan of completely vol¬untary military service is setup. Those choosing to enlistwould be paid a salary some¬what less than the averageAmerican income. It would bedesigned to attract profession¬al soldiers through improvedliving conditions and training.The establishment of such aforce would cut down theArmy’s present massive turn¬over in men, and the conse¬quently huge burden of train¬ing. It would also provide spe¬cialists to replace civilians nowemployed by the military.Meanwhile, transitional draftwould fill up the gaps left bymen (mostly former draftees)leaving the Army. These newdraftees would be chosen froma completely universal pool ofall eighteen-year olds, drafted before they entered college ormarried.This solution appears to besound. In any case, the book ison the whole a valuable contri¬bution to current debate. Mr.Chapman’s well-substantiatedpresentation of facts, togetherwith his suggested solution,can serve to give everyone in¬volved some of the knowledge and much of the stimulus nec¬essary to begin a serious, ef¬fective movement toward re¬forming or abolishing our bla¬tantly inefficient and undemo¬cratic Selective Service Sys¬tem.Larry ChoateMr. Choate is a second-year stu¬dent majoring in theology atLoyola University.THE BOOK THAT SAYS:ENO THEDRAFT!",..

APRIL 8March, 1967 • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • 9Les Paras and the Peril(continued from page eight)The French believed thathalf their force would be ableto make long range patrols todislocate enemy rear areas.They lost almost every at¬tempt.The French believed thatthey could eliminate Viet-Minhsurveillance of the Dien BienPhu airfield. Enemy forcesproved too strong to dislodge.The French believed that“no Viet-Minh cannon will beable to fire more than threerounds before being destroyedby my artillery.” In reality,the Viet-Minh had almost fourtimes as many artillery piecesand far better positions. (Whenhis prediction proved vastlywrong, the cocky French artil¬lery officer apologized withtears in his eyes to his deci¬mated troops—and then shothimself.)The French believed thatthey could cut the Commu¬nist’s supply routes, but theirweak Air Force could neverhalt the Viet-Minh coolie cara¬vans which carried over 12,000tons of war materials through600 miles of jungle to supplythe attacking forces.The French believed that atotal of 12,000 men within thegarrison could stave off theCommunists. But when the at¬tack started, the Viet-MinhGeneral Giap overwhelmedthem with five times that manyinfantry.The French believed thatthey could control whateverslight anti-aircraft firepowerthe Viet-Minh could mount. Itturned out that the flak overthe valley was heavier thanany experienced over the Ruhrvalley in World War II.Between the initial landingand the first major Viet-Minh attack on March 13, 1954, al¬most all of these warningswere confirmed.Fall documents these mat¬ters in considerable detail, andthe facts which fill page afterpage of his account take onconsiderable emotional weightas the outline of the impend¬ing battle becomes clear. Con¬sider the matter of fortifica¬tions:On December 25, Col. de Castriesissued an order to all units in thevalley that their positions were tobe fortified to resist artillery shellsof a 105-mm. caliber. The engineer¬ing manuals of every modern armyhave a standard answer to thisproblem: two layers of woodbeams at least six inches in diame¬ter, separated by three feet ofclosely packed earth topped off bysandbags to absorb splinters. Nosuch protecting roof was to coveran unsupported area of more thansix feet in width. Time-tested intwo world wars in which the105-mm. had been the standardfield-artillery weapon, the averagetonnage of engineering materialsnecessary to protect a unit of a giv¬en size was known to the lastton. . . Sudrat thus calculated thatin order to satisfactorily fortifyDien Bien Phu for the initial garri¬son of ten infantry and two artil¬lery battalions he needed 36,000tons of materials. . .. Between thedismantled tribal houses and thevood cut along the rim of the valley,Sudrat succeeded in collectingabout 2.200 tons of constructionmaterial. This left Dien Bien Phuabout 34,000 tons short of minimalengineering requirements. Thechances for a successful defense ofDien Bien Phu under direct attackcould be expressed in one frighten¬ing equation: 34,000 tons of engi¬neering equipment represented thecargo loads of about 12,000 flightsof C-47 transport aircraft, thestandard aircraft then available inIndochina. About eighty aircraftwere deployed on the daily run toDien Bien Phu. At that rate, andassuming that nothing else but en¬gineering materials were flown intoDien Bien Phu, five months wouldhave been required to make theforlorn valley into a defensible fieldposition! Sudrat, as well as his su¬periors, knew that they would nothave five months, and that therewould not be 12,000 C-47 flights. Fall barely exaggerates whenhe says that “The planning ofthe battle of Dien Bien Phutook on the preordained air ofa Greek Tragedy.”But Langlais and his menwere fighting impossibleodds. Fall makes clear howmuch air support is needed tosustain an enclave behind ene¬my lines. For the French atDien Bien Phu, the require¬ments were prohibitive—theysimply lacked planes andcrews enough to keep theirtroops supplied with food, am¬munition and relief forces,not to mention heavy fightingequipment and materials forfortification. The day-bv-daylist of material and men lostcompared with the materialand men replaced tells the sto¬ry with pathetic clarity. Be¬tween April 17 and 24, for ex¬ample, the besieged outpostlost about 1,000 men, and man¬aged to receive about 432 par¬achuted reinforcements. Be¬tween April 24 and May 1,Dien Bien Phu lost about 530men, and 251 replacementsdribbled in a few at a timeduring the nights. Suppliesand ammunition fared badlytoo, for over 50% of the dropoften fell into Viet-Minhhands, to be used against thedefenders. The outcome wasinevitable, Dien Bien Phu fin¬ally was overrun after 56 daysof constant fighting.Just as they misjudged theirartillery firepower, the Frenchbadly underestimated thefighting quality of the Viet-Minh. The Communists’ dedi¬cation verged on the fanatic.After the first strongpoint wasover-run, the French captiveswere quickly marshalled into a column and led from the bat-11 e f i e 1 d. Their captivesmarched them across a Frenchmine-field. When the prisonersbalked, the Viet-Minh officertold them to step on the bodiesof the Communists killed inthe charge—the ground wasthat thickly covered. Whenthey came to a barbed-wire ob¬struction, the officer told theFrench prisoners again to stepover the bodies of his men—one of whom was still alive.When the French againbalked, The Viet-Minh com¬manded them to go on: “It’sall right, step on him. He hasdone his duty for the PeoplesArmy.” The column moved on.There was one possible sal¬vation—a massive air dropcombined with heavy bombingraids and support missions.Such air power could eitherdemolish the enemy positionsor pin them down until a res¬cue column could fight its wayinto the valley, or until acease-fire could be negotiatedat the rapidly approaching Ge¬neva Conference. The French,as a result of their poor plan¬ning and their agreementswith the NATO forces, hadonly a fraction of the air forcenecessary to save Dien BienPhu. The obvious source ofsuch power was the UnitedStates. Why this power wasnot forthcoming is a story ev¬ery American should know—astory too complicated to re¬late in detail here except forthat grotesque incident involv¬ing Lyndon B. Johnson, thenMinority Leader of the Senate.When Secretary of State Dul¬les approached selected legis¬lators to pave the way forCongressional approval ofA m e r i c a n air intervention,LBJ vetoed the plan. During“heated” discussion, Johnson refused to endorse our back¬ing the French without the as-surance of support fromFrance’s other allies. In othewords, Johnson sealed the fateof the Dien Bien Phu garrisonand effectively doomed theFrench effort in Indochina —not stand in his way at alland this for reasons which didwhen he, as President, unilaterally committed the US to anopen-ended defense of Viet¬nam.But Fall documents aneven stranger, and much morefrightening event. Meetingwith the French Prime Minis¬ter and Foreign Minister.Dulles had said, “And if wegave you two atomic bombs tosave Dien Bien Phu?” As itturns out, we washed ourhands of Indochina in 1954only to dirty them again in1964. But for those who like“iffy” history it makes disconcerting speculation to predictwhat would have come had wefollowed Dulles over that particular brink.But Professor Fall coneludes that we had led Franceto believe our aid would beavailable, and that in spite ofJohnson’s veto the decision toaid France in 1954 would havebeen consistent with Americanpolicy. Any appeal to our other allies was simply an attemptto shift the blame. Here Fallpartially rights the score:The decision, then, in April. 1954, tolet events at Dien Bien Phu taketheir course and to make any kindof American intervention the objectof prior approval by our allies, waslikewise unilateral. Under the circumstances, it put the UnitedStates in a position where, for thefirst time in her whole history, shewould abandon an ally to his fatewhile the ally was fighting a warthat the United States had encour¬aged him to fight to a point farbeyond his own political objectivesand most certainly far beyond hi-own military means. In that sense,there can be no doubt but that DienBien Phu, far from being a purelyFrench defeat, became an Ameri-wherever,records ar%60ld,'■*' & * JfrjlS&a Jor pee CatalogmomRimF0LH SiiilS rr?°ilpi houjtinQ 11,011 -rain muis * i.. .Words that bumThese, my friends, are the reaj folk blues.;i These, my friends, are. .

Fall hedges on thispoint, but does give some in¬teresting conjectures on whatwould have happened:A North Vietnamese Communiststate less conscious of its militarysuperiority, and a South Vietnamese state less burdened by theshadow of crushing military defeat,might have been able to work outby themselves a fate which wouldnot have led the world once moreto the brink of war over IndochinaAnd a France which, rightly orwrongly, would not have felt aban¬doned by two close allies in herdirest hour of need, might welllave become a stabilizing factor inthe Indochina area, just as she hasbecome in one in Africa.Richard DennisMr. Dennis is a first-year grad¬uate student in the department ofhistory at The University of Chi¬cago._ J -PAPERBACK PLAYBACK Ferlinghetti, Ginsberg and Lo- Where the Girls Are (Dell), ed-well all edited by Walter Low- ited by the staff of The Dailyenfels.Males dissatisfied with thelocal attractions will appreci-Literary Exchange• * * v .< - .-»•«* ^73,Paperback publishers have The Senses (Penguin).

Butif you go all the way withBurke, you have to drop thissort of objection. Starting withthe premise that literature(and language in general) is asymbolic form of action,Burke’s system cannot dismissas irrelevant the hidden (anddoubtless unconscious) associa¬tions of the diction in works ofart, so long as they are seen asoperative in the artistic effect.Rather than brush off thissort of reservation completely,how ever, let us come back to itlater: after all, we are onlyhalf way up the web towardsBurke.Implicit is the theory of lan¬guage as symbolic action is adefinition of man the actor.Burke has chosen to make thedefinition explicit, in the hopeof illuminating the way wehave come and pointing out al¬ternative roads leading outfrom the still center. Here itis:Man isthe symbol-using (symbol-making,symbol-misusing) animalinventor of the negativeseparated from his natural con¬dition by instruments of hisown makinggoaded by the spirit of hierarchy(or moved by the sense of or¬der)and rotten with perfection.The first clause is hardlysurprising. Hardly surprising,that is, until wTe examine justhow much of our sense of“reality” has been viewedthrough symbol-systems:“Take away our books, andwrhat little do we know abouthistory, biography, even some¬thing so ‘down to earth’ asthe relative position of seasand continents? And howeverimportant to us is the tiny sli¬ver of reality each of us has ex¬perienced firsthand, the wholeoverall ‘picture’ is but a con¬struct of our symbol systems.”We are utterly dependentupon symbols and symbol-systems (primarily those oflanguage) to find our wayabout; symbols pass currentfor reality so well, in fact, thatwe can even use them as toolsto destroy ourselves (think ofsymbols like “Third Reich” or“missile gap”). Burke meanshis homo symbolicus as awarning, not as an honorific like the earlier definitions of aman as “rational animal” orhomo sapiens.“Inventor of the negative”is a by-product of the preced¬ing clause, for as there are nonegatives in nature, ideas ofnegation or polarity proceedas a construct of man’s sym¬bol-systems. The “thou shaltnot” of the Decalogue presup¬poses an entire ethical system.Those who define man ashomo faber stress man’s sep¬aration from his naturalstate. For Burke the phrasetakes on a wider meaning. His“separation” includes suchthings as the displacement ofimages from one set of termsto another—as in Wagner’sRing where, we have seen, aset of images based upon theinfantile love of feces has beenreplaced by another set focus¬ing upon the goldhoard.Burke’s “sense of hier¬archy” produces, according tohis peculiar logic, mystery andguilt, which one can see oper¬ating in, say, Coriolanus. Here,because of the “hierarchical”nature of Roman society, patri¬cian and plebeian are “myste¬ries” to one another, while eachclass is “guilty” by virtue ofhis separation with respect tothe other.The sardonic clause, “rottenwith perfection,” is related tothe Aristotelian concept of en-telechy mentioned when dis¬cussing Coriolanus. Each or¬ganism aims at a perfectionnatural to its kind; there is,furthermore, a principle ofperfection implicit in man’suse of symbol-systems in thatwe seek to explore each sys¬tem to its logical extremity; man, homo symbolicus, ismoved by this principle. Butwhy rotten with perfection?Symbol-systems are neutral.One such system—Christianethics—may cause men to seekthe entelechial principle impli-city in it—cause them to imi¬tate the life of Christ, or, fail¬ing that, to love their neigh¬bors in a virtuous, constructiveway. Another symbol-system—the technology of thearms race —w h i 1 e neithermore or less “neutral” thanChristian ethics, may alsocause men to seek its “perfec¬tion,” which happens to be theannihilation of the humanrace. Less destructive, but noless “rotten” examples of thesearch for perfection includeFreud’s “destiny compulsion”and “repetition compulsion”in which a man, driven by thesense of fate in his life, repeat¬edly brings about unfortunateevents he feels must occur. Hishappiness is thus sacrificed tohis sense of form. Literarykinds of “rotten” perfectioninclude tragic figures like Cor¬iolanus, who is molded intothe “perfect” victim for thesacrifice, or Aufidius, who ismade the “perfect” opponentfor the hero.Burke’s definition of manobviously fits other spheres ofspeculation, and I might men¬tion a few significant exten¬sions at this point. His long es¬say, in applied semantics, “Ter-ministic Screens,” deals withthe way a symbol-system (orterminology) can direct the ob¬server’s attention away fromcertain phenomena—as whena physicist (or a literary criticfor that matter) is distracted by his peculiar “terministicscreen” from the ethical impli¬cations of what he is doing.“Mind, Body, and the Uncon¬scious” is an approach toFreud’s theory of subconsciousrepression, seen through thescreen of Burke’s ideas of sym-bolicity and the negative as pe¬culiar properties of humanbeings. “Medium as ‘Message’”is a zestful attack on McLuhan,whose ideas, Burke is quick torealize, have many points ofsimilarity with his own.But Burke’s enormous intel¬lectual vitality and the tre¬mendous scope and complexityof his writings make him nosnap to read—and his difficultyis only compounded by hisfree-wheeling methods. Andno matter how well we justifyBurke’s choice of materialsand his tools of analysis, someof us—I suspect a goodmany—will find it too stren¬uous to follow him in his pro¬digious mental leaps. We maybe able to accept (provisional¬ly, at least) that Catharsis intragedy is a symbolic form ofdefecation, but it is not so easyto hop from there to his low¬er-case catharses: Alberich’splaying with the gold/dung;Timon’s invective/ diarrhea;Prometheus’s being released/defecated by Jove. And eventhis sort of word-play is sim¬ple compared with the weirdpatterns of language throughwhich Burke explains Part I ofFaust: the image trio of stre-ben-leben-schweben (plus stre-ben’s anagram-pun, sterben);the persistent image of flowersassociated with Gretchen; therhyming pun of verweilen-eilen; the images of negation (Vemeinung) applied to Meph-istopheles and Faust. Burkeassumes (too quickly, unfortu¬nately) that the reader can fol¬low him in his verbal calis¬thenics, but even the mostsympathetic audience may bedaunted by his agility andchoose another essay moresuited to their powers. To theprospective reader of this bookI offer the meager consolationthat most of the papers prosented here are far simplerthan those in his earlier workon literature and rhetoric, ThePhilosophy of Literary Form.Not all who read Burke are,: :-::Psympathetic to his ideas. ;though. The so-called New,/Critics and the Chicago schoolof neo-Aristotelians (I countmvself as a very junior member of the latter) may well berepelled by his disregard ofform and unity; they have .,their own notions of entelechv ,which bear scant resemblance , 5vto his. But whatever yourstand, it is easy to finish oneof Burke’s essays and put it |down with an inward cry of“So what?” or Bullshit!” It is,,;unfortunate—for '■mmI*well as his readers—that onemust lay aside all of one’s preconceived notions about litera-j® /ture and life, that one must, inshort, surrender completely to]Burke before one can begin tget anything of value from his,works. Burke, sad to relate!gives us very little help: helaunches immediately into Hifprivate intellectual games, andif the reader, taken by sur;prise, defends himself by set];ting up his own favorite terministic screen, both Burkfand the reader have lost.HBut this does not have tohappen. Burke has certainlyhad his share of followers anadmirers—even what might becalled a loosely knit school ofcriticism—including on one,side such literary luminaries^as the late R. P. Blackmurand on the other a batch of|“Art is dead” aestheticiarii|like Allan Kaprow. My ownideas on literature are not ,]]’what you might call congenialto Burke’s, and yet I stillfind him extraordinarily stim¬ulating. Critical sensibilitiescan become creaky and arthri¬tic—and a good dose of Burke *(that fascinating monster) is assalutary as a mental massage.My own love for that perversecryptic genius rests, not onlyon what I get out of him. but J|on what he brings out of me ^ ^mDavid H.

Finally a little girl didcome along and she was carrying abasket of food. "Are you carrying thatbasket to your grandmother?" askedthe wolf. The little girl said yes, shewas So the wolf asked her where hergrandmother lived and she told him andhe disappeared into the wood.When the little girl opened the door oiher grandmother's house she saw thatthere was somebody In bed with anightcap and nightgown on. She had ap¬proached no nearer than twenty-fivefeet from the bed when she saw that itwas not her grandmother but the wolf,for even in a nightcap a wolf does notlook any more like your grandmotherthan the Metro-Goldwyn lion looks likeCalvin Coolidge. So the Little girl tookan automatic out of her basket and shotthe wolf dead.Moral: It is not so easy to fool littlegirls nowadays as it used to be.TOM JONES: tonight at the Law SchoolAuditorium, 6:30, 9, & 11:30 pm.

I hope to havean article on Burroughs (withsome commentary on Ginsberg)printed next quarter.RICHARD HACKSALASINGinsberg and FugsTO THE EDITOR:Last Tuesday’s Maroon pro¬vides a very interesting illustra¬tion of a pathological contradic¬tion in your newspaper’s mentali¬ty. On the editorial page you offi¬cially condemn Allen Ginsberg as“the kind of guy who would pee inthe street.” This type of pi(th)ycriticism is supplemented by anequally sanctimonious and repres¬sive review on page seven inwhich Ginsberg is chastised forhis “bullshit”. Now turn the pageand behold—a full-page ad for theFugs, whose concert the Maroonis co-sponsoring.In case the Maroon has neverheard their music, the Fugs’ ma¬jor triumph is the undisguisedway in which they pee, defecate,and masturbate all over the GreatSociety’s aseptic streets. Whydoes the Maroon find Allen Gins¬berg’s urine so much more vilethan the Fugs’ own sweet juice?Is it because you stand to profitfrom the Fugs? Or is the Maroonreflecting the new student mental¬ity that accepts free expression aslong as it can be easily separatedfrom a hallowed illusion called“art”?This type of mind clings to itsPuritan image of the poet-artistas superman devoid of excretoryorgans, while savoring anti-Establishment ineontinency aslong as it remains safely filed un¬der the innocuous heading of“Rock ‘a‘ Roll”. If this is thecase, the Maroon is peeing not in•the streets, but on people—onGinsberg, on the Fugs (who arepoet.. ), and on anyone interested jin what’s going on in the NewArt.HOWARD FISHMANP S. Those guys in your picturelook like fugs, but they are notthe Fugs.the FugsTO THE EDITOR:Just a note on entertainment atthe University, about somethingthat has bothered me for a coupleof years. With this continual rant¬ing about the injustices wroughtby the capatalistic system, whyin the hell does the behavior ofthe student organizations on cam¬pus coincide so closely with it?Tlie Fugs: $4.50 , 3.50 and2.50—those of course are studentadmission prices. Yet elsewhere,notably at schools on the westcoast (Cal, SF State, Reed, Port¬land State), the prices for suchevents are generally much lower.I saw the Mime Troup at ReedCollege for 75c, here it cost $2.50.I know damn well that the onlythings that can justify such pricesis petty bureaucracy and apathy,or money hunger on the part ofthe orgaaizers. It is interesting toknow that ideals are so flexible. Anyone dealing with Toad Hallknows that their one and oulybusiness is profit—Toad Hall isalso Enterprise Productions.I imagine that student organiza¬tions on this campus will alwayshave their money grubbing handsin the pot, too. It makes one feelproud that the AMERICAN WAYOF LIFE survives on this so-called progressive campus.MALDUS ALVERA ReplyTO THE EDITOR:I am in sympathy with theabove letter insofar as people whothink the prices for the Fugs con¬cert are high, but I might hastento explain that they are neces¬sary.We are breaking new ground inthis attempt to bring a big namegroup to the Field House. Suchventures could not be held inMandel, because it seats only1,000. J/'The success of this and futureventures all depends on how will¬ing the community is to support such undertakings. I guaranteeyou one thing, if the Fugs concertflops, there isnt’ going to be an¬other attempt on this scale by any¬body for quite a while. Even atthe prices we are charging weneed 2500 attendance to breakeven, and 2500 is 1500 more thanhave ever before been to a singleperformance at the University ofChicago. I hope you all will bearwith us on the prices and turn outin multitudes for the FUGS. To usthat will signal the go-ahead forother spectaculars in the future.BORUCH GLASGOWGod 'Dialogue'TO THE EDITOR:Due to circumstances beyondthe editor’s control, the Maroon’sprediction that Professors Altizerand Montgomery would “attemptto figure out whether God is real¬ly dead” last Friday eveningturned out to be grossly erro¬neous. The event was billed as a“dialogue”; it was more like an execution. There was no attempton anybody’s part to “figure out”anything.Dr. Altizer began with a thirtyminute summary of his theologi¬cal position. Dr. Montgomery fol¬lowed with a diatribe whichheaped ridicule upon Altizer forbeing dialectical (it’s old fash¬ioned and “Insane”), for beingmystical (mysticism is Oriental),and for lacking an objective pointof reference (Montgomery’s solu¬tion: “for the Bible tells me so”).A lengthy question period prod¬uced little more.But the fans loved every minuteof it. They have come by the bus¬load from Milwaukee, from Iowa,from St. Louis. This was the nightthey were going to “get” ThomasAltizer. It was no accident thatMontgomery dared Altizer to dieand arise from the dead to dem¬onstrate the truth of his position!The applause which followedserved to encourage the people’sprosecutor.The Inter-Varsity Christian (?)Fellowship had tried to bring Al¬tizer here on their own. He knew Then IVCF enlisted Student’Government’s aid, and the event wasbilled as part of the 75th Anniver¬sary Program. Perhaps Altizerthought this would lend some de¬corum to the proceedings; he ac¬cepted. He’ll know better nexttime.Dr. Altizer has an interestingpoint of view; it is a point of viewwhich has many difficulties, andin the end it may even prove tobe completely untenable. But itdeserves to be explored by re-sponsfble theologians. A show¬down between a radical such asAltizer, and an ungentlemanlyfundamentalist is not worthy ofsponsorship either by the churchor by the university.Proper investigation into thebackgrounds of potential partici¬pants in events such as this isessential to any responsible pro¬gram planning. Such planningwould prevent Student Govern¬ment's becoming the unwittingally of the extreme right wing inAmerican theology.THOMAS F. KOCHWant to changethe world?Join the Peace Corps... or join General ElectricLet's face it, the Peace Corps Isn'tfor everybody. (Neither Is medicine,law or social work.) But you can geta lot of the same kind of satisfactionfrom a job with General Electric.Because we, too, are trying tomake life on earth more livable.That can mean a job designing anew satellite to forecast weather. Or supplying nuclear reactors to gen*erate electricity more cheaply thanever before. Or controlling smog Inour cities and pollution inourstreams.It can mean better lighting to cutdown crime. It can mean new rapid-transit systems to unclog traffic.All It takes is brains, imagination,drive and a fairly rugged constitu¬ tion. These qualities can get you ajob with General Electric - or withthe Peace Corps.If you choose the Peace Corps,we'll understand. But when the daycomes that you leave the Corps, re¬member us. You'll still be young, andat General Electrio, the young menare important men.T^ogress fs Our Most Important JMvctGENERAL® ELECTRIC10 • CHICAGO MAROON • March 3, 1967—'j8 ■ * T I.$t'd* •^S»Crent a truckPer Houido-it-yourselfI IIK K RENTALSO 8-98008150 Stony IslandSundays $3.00 per hour Be Practical!Buy Utility Clothes!-Complete selection of beets, over¬shoes, insulated slii wear, heededceats, loop underwear, corduroys,"levis", etc., etc., etc., etc.Universal Army Store1364 E. 63rd ST.PL 2-4744OPEN SUNDAYS 9:30 1 00 JKfe'l-14?... <**¥ Jdti ft.

But pres¬sure to change the policy began asearly as 1958 when the AssociatedWomen Students (AWS) first sub¬mitted an appeal to the universitypresident. AWS completed a surveyof 39 surrounding schools, similarto the university in size, which re¬vealed that most of the schoolsstudied had liberal visitation poli¬cies.Changes are not limited to onesection of the country. The Univer¬sity of Washington has announcedits decision to eliminate imposedwomen’s hours and substitute apolicy of allowing students to voteon their own hours.At the University of California atLos Angeles women students under 21 have been freed from curfew re¬gulations. The decision was en¬dorsed by the Associate Dean ofStudents Housing, William Lock¬lear, who said that previous univer¬sity policy was inconsistent withthe school’s statement to enteringstudents that they will be treatedQ C OH 1 ll f CIN A SIMILAR DECISION by ad¬ministrators at the University ofChicago, students in each housewere allowed to submit their owncurfews, to the Dean of Studentsfor approval.Some of UC’s houses requestedextension of hours by 330 per centand, in one instance, complete abo¬lition of curfew.The orderly changes in housingregulations at UCLA and Chicagoare in sharp contrast to action bystudents at Stanford University.Irate Stanford dormitory residentsorganized a ten-day postponementof rent payments in support of off-campus housing for women.The rent strike was considered asuccess by participants, althoughno action has been taken by univer¬sity officials. Stanford PresidentWallace Sterling said he would pre¬pare an interim report for theBoard of Trustees “as soon as pos¬sible.” He added, however, that “itmay not be feasible. . .to reach any decision on this matter for sev¬eral months.WOMEN STUDENTS AT DukeUniversity have been allowed a 2a m. curfew by the administration,while freshmen women at the Uni¬versity of Oklahoma are strugglingfor a 10 p.m. permission.Although men at Oklahoma haveno hours, coeds have been requiredto maintain 9 p.m. hours. A propos¬al for 10 o’clock closing hours forfreshman women was presented tothe Associated Women Students bya special revision committee. Thestudent chairman of the committeesaid the 10 p.m. request was sub¬mitted “as a compromise betweenthose wanting to retain 9 p.m.hours and those wanting to initiate11 o’clock hours.”In some cases, women studentsmay turn out to be the biggest ob¬stacle in liberalizing hours. At theUniversity of Kentucky, they haverejected by six-to-one a proposalfor no hours. Maroon SportsSaturday night the basketballteam will face its last and toughestopponent of the year when it tan¬gles with the formidable GreenWave of Tulane. Tulane has onlyan 11-10 record, but it has playedseveral of the top teams in thecountry.The game is set for 8 pm in thefieldhouse, barring a blizzard. Itwas originally scheduled for Satur¬day, January 28, but Tulane wasunable to come because of the23-inch snowfall the day before.The Maroons now have a 9-7 re¬cord.

Coach Jim Baillie’s team defeated Aurora College 27-6, withGene McGrady, Nick Palevsky,Steve Goldberg, Ted Peterson, TimEnnis, Guy Twyman and Jim Capser all contributing points to theChicago team effort—Capser andTwyman both pinned their opponents.Another UC Bartlett Pool recordwas set in UC’s meet with BeloitCollege.
