Vol. 75-No. 57 Chicago Maroon75th Anniversary YearThe University of Chicago Tuesday, May 16, 1967MIDWEEKEDITIONNSA, Rank ReferendaTo Be Held This WeekShould the UC Student Government remain a member ofthe National Student Association? Should the University con¬tinue to compile class ranks of College students?Those will be the two questions on the ballot in the StudentGovernment-sponsored referenda,to be held tomorrow and Thursday.The vote on the NSA questionwill determine whether UC disaf¬filiates from the nation-wide asso¬ciation. The question was broughtto a referendum by a petition cir¬culated by SPAC, the majority par¬ty in SG.AFFILIATION vith NSA is writ¬ten into the present constitution ofSG, and any amendment in theconstitution requires a vote of thestudent body. The question was tohave been put on the ballot in lastmonth’s SG elections, but the peti¬tions were not submitted in timefor that election.The referendum on ranking willhave the status of a poll of Collegestudents and College faculty onwhether the current practice shallbe continued, of compiling ranksamong all students in each Collegeclass, and sending out informationon each student’s rank on his orher request. Separate ballots will1)0 provided for students who willvote on only one of the questions.THE PRACTICE of compilingranks among males only in eachclass was halted as a result of avote of the Council of the Universi¬ty Senate in February. Any furtheraction in ending all ranking wouldalso be made by the Council, whichis the final policy-making body formost matters of University-wideeducational policy.At the time of the original vote toend male rank but continue all¬class rank, Harry Kalven, Profes¬sor of Law and Council member,commented that there was no signof further action by the Council.

In addition, outsideconsultants will be asked to takepart in the study.Barat originally began consider¬ing possibilities of moving last No¬vember. However, it was not untilSaturday that the trustees of thecollege voted to go ahead with afeasibility study. The student bodyheard about the decision yesterdaymorning. According to MotherBurke, the students were “very said the studycommittee would have no presup¬positions about the type of co¬operative arrangements Barat andUC might share. However, she pre¬dicted that Barat would probablymaintain its own faculty.Bold New Answers“Small independent colleges to¬day are facing very great chal¬lenges and problems in the educa¬tional scene,” Mother Burke said.“A question which we are askingourselves is how we can be a dis¬tinguished college.

' • • v The Maroon staff Friday afternoon elected Jeffrey Kuta,a second-year student in the College, editor-in-chief for thecoming academic year.Kuta, currently a news editor, will succeed David A. Sat-ter, who will begin his senior yearin the fall.Kuta did not appoint a new busi¬ness manager at the Friday meet¬ing, but later made known hischoice of Jerry Levy, a businessassistant and a fourth-year studentin the College. Boruch Glasgow, thecurrent business manager, will re¬ceive his M.B.A. degree from theGraduate School of Business inJune. UPON HIS ELECTION Kuta appointed Roger Black and JohnWelch, both first-year students inthe College, managing editors.They will succeed David E.

The city is an important edu¬cational laboratory.”No Time LimitMother Burke stressed that nei¬ther Barat nor UC had made anycommitments regarding affiliation.No time limit has been set for thestudy.If Barat were to move, it wouldhave to dispose of its 30-acre cam¬pus in Lake Forest. Currently theschool is in the midst of a$10,000,000 building program, begunfour years ago. The campus in¬cludes three dormitories, one ofthem new, a new science building,a new theatre and gymnasiumbuilding, several classroom facili¬ties, and an administration build¬ing.Daisies, Sugar Cubes, People AboundLots of "Stuff” Highlights Sunday Be-InTO BE OR NOT TO BE: That was the obvious question Sunday asBe-In participants gathered around a band providing entertain¬ment at North Ave. Beach.

Beforeeating the sugar cube, I asked thedonor (who had arrived at dawnfrom Benton Harbor, Michigan) ifit had been colored with vegetabledyes. “I can’t say,” he shrugged.His attitude was shared bymany. People simply gave andcared little about what was donewith their gifts. At the end ofthree hours I had accumulated:four collections of poetry on pas¬tel ditto sheets, a bouquet of dan¬delions, some wooden beads, avodka screwdriver, a handker¬chief, two “love” signs, some in¬cense, a freeform etching, threepieces of gum, a chocolate chipcookie, several buttons, and an in¬vitation to “act in a film.”BESIDES THE abundant pre¬ sents, there were what could betermed “spectacles.” One lady,with the help ..of some wildlypainted children, erected a hugeplastic statue of the Jolly GreenGiant. When asked about the pur¬pose of the creation, she defendedher group by saying, “Why, webring it everywhere. We’re fromFurnished Homes, Inc.”Some of the events were on thepassive side. One group watchedin silence as a few lumps of dryice bubbled and smoked in a pud¬dle. A boy carressed a brick andadvised everyone to “love.” Sev¬eral people displayed assortedversions of the illustrious banana,and one man actually distributed80 pounds of “the friendly fruit”at the start of the Be-In. Therewas even a quiet Money-Burningon one area of the beach.But many people were in themood for action. Two skin diversemerged from Lake Michigan af¬ter two hours of “looking,” (Oneof them secured a rusty fish hookand a bloody lip.) One groupformed themselves into a longdragon by dancing under a greensheet with a plaster head. Threemen rigged some paper and woodinto the image of a ship’s mast.Everyone and his dog flew kites.Music was provided by several well-amplified bands at a centralstand, but other groups formed bythe water. Christmas carolers andinventive folk singers ( ‘J- EdgarHoover—he’s got the whole worldin his hands . . .”) huddled togeth¬er in the biting wind.

He came out in favorof a very limited settlement inVietnam and defended the right todissent against the war policy.As Goldberg was speaking inside,25 pickets from UC’s SDS chaptercircled around outside the Pick-Congress Hotel. With them wereeight uniformed policemen and sev.eral plainclothesmen from whatone SDS member called the “Ohi son to deplore dissent, and certain¬ly no reason to curb it,” said theformer Supreme Court Justice. It isinevitable that some are confusedabout the war, and dissent. This isdue to their desire for peace,” hesaid.“We can emerge stronger thanever from the war if we don’tequate dissent with disloyalty,” hewent on.IN HIS conclusion Goldberg quot¬ed from Lincoln’s second Inauguralcago Red Squad,” a group of detec- Address: “With malice towardslives whose job it is to watch out j none, with charity for all, withfor dangerous subversives.

We are not imperialists.]We want to pose no challenge toChina. And we want to pose nothreat to North Vietnam.We want to have no alliances,military or political, with SouthVietnam.

The current campaign on the SG-sponsored re¬ferendum could have been the opportunity to present a full,reasoned discussion. Instead, there have been allegations,often unsubstantiated, by persons who have little or no knowl¬edge of NSA and its operations.AN EXAMPLE of some of the more irresponsible distortionsin the campaign appear on a poster labelled, “End UC’s affili¬ation with the NSA-CIA.” The poster states that “Mike Wood,who leaked the story (about past CIA aid for NSA’s interna¬tional program) was fired. The officers and staff who hid thestory and lied—and some who took orders from the CIA—remain.”This statement neglects to point out that Wood was fired lastSeptember for sheer incompetence in his job, and leaked theinformation to Ramparts afterward. It also neglects to pointout that NSA is the only organization of those which havereceived CIA funds that has cut them off competely, and wasin the process of doing so for some time before the Rampartsarticle appeared. It also neglects to mention that no officers ofstaff members of NSA who were associated with the CIA re¬main; ail present officers are completely free of entanglementswith the CIA; all staff who formerly had CIA ties are alreadygone. , > - *These charges are just a few of many which have beenthrown around concerning supposed continuing CIA connec¬tion with the NSA. The only tie remaining is the buildingwhich NSA shares with another student group, which they areoccupying under a 15-year lease paid for years ago by the CIA.This arrangement, too, will be ended as soon as NSA findsanother building or money to buy the present building. * Muhammad All and ThemJii Decline of IntellectualsThe letter appearing in today’sMaroon from Jeffrey Blum andHoward Machtinger carries onestep farther the unfortunate disin¬tegration of concern for means aswell as ends—a concern whichhas traditionally preoccupied bothintellectuals and the democraticleft.From the logic of the Blum-Machtinger letter, we are left toassume that if Bozo the Clowncame out against the War in Viet¬nam and proposed passing out lollipops to the Vietnamese peopleas a solution, the Day of Inquirywould have felt justified in utili*tizing his arguments. And what iseven more frightening is the factthat, if we are to take the reac¬tion to the Ali speech as typical,scores of UC students who like toconsider themselves intellectuals,would have cheered wildly andthen, the next morning, sheepish¬ly defended their enthusiasm interms of the need to attract chil¬dren to the cause.SUCH AN analogy may seemextreme as well as ludicrous, butalthough Bozo has yet to arriveon the UC campus, some of theother clowns who have recentlyattracted attention have creden¬tials for discussing the war thatare hardly more impressive. Consider for example the for¬mer American Nazi who castigat¬ed Johnson and the war at thedemonstration against chemicalwarfare last month. For years,civil libertarians have attackedthe use of “converts” to discreditleft-wing organizations by a vari¬ety of right-wing groups. Theyargue, and with considerableforce, that an extremist is an ex¬tremist, regardless of the ideolo¬gy with which he surrounds hisinvective and that people like Wit-taker Chambers should be heldsuspect for their past mistakesrather than given special promi¬nence for them. It hardly needs tobe pointed out that the argumentcuts both ways.Yet even an ex-Nazi’s views de¬serve more respect than those ofan unreformed pugilist with wellbelow average intelligence andnothing to recommend himselfother than a massive physiqueand an ego to match.NO ONE is questioning the sincerity of Ali’s views or his rightto hold thfchn. But what should besupremely questionable is thewillingness of intellectuals to lis¬ten to his none too subtle disserta¬tions on an extremely complextopic. Equating cheers for Ali withcheers for President Johnson, asBlum and Machtinger do, is onlybegging the question. Whateverone thinks of the President’s Viet¬nam policy, it must be admittedthat more justification can be of¬fered for it than bold assertionsthat Lyndon is “the greatest.”IT SHOULD be quite unneces¬sary to point out the danger in¬herent in the kind of intellectualprostitution that went on lastweek, but since its consequencesare apparently far from obviousto the organizers of the Day ofInquiry, they might be well ad¬vised to consult Hans Morgen-thau, their non-pugilist prophet.Morgenthau has spent a largepart of his time recently beratingintellectuals for being led astrayfrom the search for truth by of¬fers of power from the Adminis¬tration. But the truth-and-powerposition in another one of thoseembarrassing arguments thatcuts both ways, and given theshameless sacrifice of objectivetruth for popular influence thatwent on at the Ali rally, it is re-remarkable and frightening thatMorgenthau agreed to participatein the program, or indeed that theprogram was planned at all.Letters to the EditorTHE REAL ISSUE, as we have tried to make clear, is notthe past of NSA, but its future. In fact,the clean break fromthe past that has been made this year offers the promisingopportunity to make NSA many times as effective as it hasbeen in the past.Widespread discussion of needed changes is already takingplace in schools in many parts of the country. It is practicallycertain, for example, that the former involvement in interna¬tional contacts will be completely ended. This will cut off theportion of the association’s activities which was of greatestinterest to the intelligence agency.Steps have been made to completely revise the nature ofNSA’s annual congress, to expand the attention given to theprograms on member campuses, and to drastically reduce theamount of time spent on debating resolutions on everythingfrom Vietnam to birth control. This change will also go a longway toward meeting the objections of many of NSA’s critics,and focusing the association’s attention on concrete, campus-based programs.There is no lack of indications that changes in NSA are onthe way, and that the association will be much more effectiveforce for real change in higher education. The question, itseems, is whether students at UC will have the opportunity toparticipate in the effort to change the association. The UCNSA delegation represents many viewpoints, and most of thedelegates who will be really active and effective are firmly onthe liberal side.THE BUDGET REQUESTS of the NSA delegation must bedefended before CORSO, just as are those of every other stu¬dent organization. Most of the money is used to send the dele¬gation to the annual congress, and thus to provide an excellentopportunity to exchange ideas with other schools and take partin planning of the coming year’s activities of the association.The NSA allocation is an investment toward the developmentof a truly national movement of students which will carrybenefits for every student, here and elsewhere, just as themoney allocated to, let us say, VISA is an investment towardmore effective mental health facilities. UC students can playan active, effective part in the first goal as much as the second.This investment in NSA is worthwhile. It can pay off, andUS students can help make it pay off. UC must not retreat intoits own private isolationism, cut off from the organizationwhich can be the most effective force for change in highereducation. UC must remain in NSA, to help build a* betterorganization. YY; y' y Sy':YJ * i \ :Muhammad SpeaksTO THE EDITOR:“Like a beauitful woman whowill only be jilted once, the truthbecomes progressively harder torecapture once it is abandoned.”Thus, the Friday Maroon com-meting on the May 10th Day ofInquiry. Whatever this statementreveals about the author’s rela¬tions with women, it is even morerevealing as to his relations withthe truth. Alas, the truth is notlike a beautiful woman for as weare learning all too well lately, itis not always beautiful. The Ma¬roon reacts strongly to Gary Rad¬er’s use of “obscenity” and PaulSweezy’s use of ’’genocide” inreference to the Vietnamese war;he balks also at Rev. Bevel’s de¬scription of college students as“house niggers”. It is not whetherthese appellations have any accu¬racy which concern the Maroonrather that they are not beautifulor that they express value judg¬ments so passionately. For theMaooon it could never be the/oasethat genocide was being committed, that a war is an obscently.The words are too angry, unlove¬ly; therefore they are prime facieuntrue, irrational.“SCIENTIFICALLY the ‘middlecourse’ is not truer even by ahair’s breadth, than the most ex¬treme party ideals of the right orleft. Nowhere the interests of sci¬ence more poorly served in thelong run than in those situationswhere one refuses to see uncom¬fortable facts and the realities oflife in all their starkness.” (MaxWeber) It has taken many of uslbng enough to recognize the un¬comfortable facts about Vietnam.We have reasoned together stren¬uously and we have reached not afinal truth, but a sufficient one forus. For we know that to wait foran absolute certitude which maynever develop is to have decidedabout the war just as surely as tosponsor an anti-war rally. It is topermit the war to continue. Wemay wait to decide if we want—Iam not denying that—but if we dowait, we do so at our periL >. nNo longer are teach-ins enough;the war is serious enough to re- quire action and our program wasto be a Day of Inquiry into waysof acting against the war. We as¬sumed that the members of theuniversity community hadlearned from previous teach-insand from their own efforts atfinding the truth about Vietnam;we assumed, too, that it is possi¬ble and even necessary to act onissues that we have thoughtabout. It is all right—though Ithink untrue—to say that we havenot thought enough, but not allright to decry all action asthoughtless.THROUGHOUT THE Marooneditorial, there is an implicitequation drawn between distanceand lack of passion on the onehand and objectivity and or truthon the other. Just what is wrongwith the crowd at the evening ral¬ly being “so excited that ^Ali hadto continually signal for silencejust so he could finish his briefspeech”? The New York Timesreports how many times Presi¬dent Johnson is interrupted dur¬ing’his speeches, but that is notthe point. There are some thingsit is important to get excitedabout in the world, and excite¬ment does not signify irrationali¬ty; it can just as well signify theconversion of thought into mean¬ingful action. The evening meet¬ing was conceived as a demon¬stration of anti-war sentiment;political demonstrations aim notto offer cogent arguments (theyhave already been offered andare being acted upon), but toshow support for a position. Theyare the next step after reasoneddiscussion. If they are extremeand at some points not well rea¬soned, they should be criticized,but certainly not more stronglythan the greater extremeness andunreason which they may be areaction against.WE DISAGREED with at leastone speaker at the evening rallyand had some dissatisfactionswith all of them, but we disagreemore strongly and have moregrave dissatisfactions with U.S.war policy. “The rally is over,•but some disturbing questions re-ma'iH,'” the Maroon puts' it'. ‘ Butthe Maroon fails to raise the most ■ yy.v.o:v' mm ^ w ■ :■*;important disturbing question,The Reverend Bevel’s speechraised the question of how will thepeace movement (moderate andimmoderate) work with blackpeople for whom the only salientissue is race. The war, it seemsto us, is not fundamentally a ra¬cist one, but it seems that way toMr. Bevel and many otherNegroes. Their opinions arewrtmg, but not unreasonable!What sort of rationality would wehave black Americans possess sothat they would not, at least ini¬tially, conceive of a universe inracial, terms? The importance ofthe rally was that for the firsttime it brought black and whitemembers of this community to¬gether to hear about the war.What we heard from Rev. Bevelwas somewhat unsatisfying(mainly his racist remarks), butif thg, whit$£| blacks are towork together for peace or anyth¬ing, we had better start listeningto what the black considers hisproblems—and not dismiss whathe says with the undifferentiatedlabel, “irrational”—before we tryto convince him of what we thinkwe know better about.THE RALLt WAS importantnot only as a demonstration ofpeace support and as an opportu¬nity to listen to and involve blackpeople in anti-war activities, butalso because Muhammad All, byself-admission not a noted intel¬lectual, made his first publicanti-war statement. It was not hisarguments, though I think theywere better than the Maroon’sthat were important,‘but his ac-tion: an important figure was an¬nouncing ids opposition to thewar,and furthermore he had act¬ed on this opposition. And if theWorld Boxing Assoc, saw fit totake away his title immediatelyafter he had refused inductionwithout waiting to see if thecourts had found him guilty, thenit is not irrelevant and it is notmerely the champ’s acknowl¬edged egoism (though that wasclearly involved) which motivatedhim to ask “who the champ was.”For it was his anti-war action(Continued on Page Six)4 • CHICAGO MAROON • May 16. 1967GadflyThe Case against the NSA Kuta Bar Mitzvah RumoredMatza Dynasty TopplesAfter all is said and done, whatare the arguments upon whichthose who wish to remain in theUSNSA rest? Let us assume thatmost readers are more or lessaware of the revelations about thehistory of the Assocation over thepast few years; this assumptionentails, in brief, recognizing thatthe NSA has been accepting ap¬proximately $500,000 a year forthe most part of at least fifteenyears. Let us further assume thatat such a cost the CIA was notbuying a pig in a poke—that ithad reasonable certainty that theAssociation was indeed a fittingvehicle for its holy war againstCommunism throughout theworld—despite the graceful sub¬tlety of the NSA liberalism. Final¬ly let us assume that Maroonreaders are more or less sensitiveto the fact that in order to permitthis kind of semi-pro spying to goon under the auspices of the NSA,there had be a rather sharp con¬trol by the elite—the “wit¬ting"—over challenges by reform¬ers to change NSA’s orientation.WITH THESE assumptions inmind, then, how do NSA’s defend¬ers attempt to justify our “stick¬ing it out” and “reforming fromwithin the NSA?” In brief, theyargue that the Association per¬forms some good functions—cheap insurance, travel, etc.—andthat its political captivity canbe reformed through the use ofthe democratic procedures avail¬able within the Association. For avariety of reasons, which can besummarized as saying that theycontradict the logic of the eventswhich we have assumed to havebeen the case this is a coursebound to failure, and is politicallynaive—not to say that it is exactlyihe course the CIA would mostprefer us to take.On its face, the argument isweak for an NSA staff memberleft just recently, claiming thej Association is not making a cleanbreak with the spies. And Mikei Wood, the NSA staffer who brokethe original story, quotes withrelish the current defending theirright to lie. But to fully understand theweakness of the “stay in” casewe need to go into the politicaldynamics of the NSA.NSA SPIES WERE enabled, be¬cause of us, to travel from coun¬try to country with the equivalentof trade union membership cards:the pleasing resolutions we foughtfor (many times successfully) be¬came NSA’s proof to skepticalstudent radicals around the worldthat NSA was independent of itsgovernment. Sometimes the “wit¬ting” elites would block with us,as did Dennis Shaul in 1962 whenhe supported a resolution callingfor a test ban. At other times theywould be assiduously neutral, asduring the debates about theHouse Committee on UnAmericanActivities in 1961. Still other timesthe left was used by the elite tostake out a left “pole” in a de¬bate, thus allowing the witting tobring home a “moderate” resolu¬tion which embodied the CIA posi¬tion. This was the tactic, for ex¬ample, in the 1965 debates onVietnam, when the elite allowed acondemnation of Diem and themilitaristic cliques but resisted acall for withdrawal. By allowingthe left to heat up each Congresswith debates centering upon anyburning political issue of the day,the elite showed its superior senseof political strategy.EACH TIME WE became in¬volved in an issue-oriented resolu¬tion debate, we had to forego theopportunity to strike more funda¬mentally at the structural prero¬gatives which were the essence ofCIA power in the organization.Thus, instead of arguing over atest ban treaty, we might havebeen insistently and militantly de¬manding an accurate accountingof activity of NSA representativesin Latin America. Instead of al¬lying with the elite against right-wing attempts to limitNSA’s ability to engage in “politi¬cal” subjects, we might have de¬manded a strict accounting of ef¬fort made to implement resolu¬tions. Instead of being distractedby fears of being called “vulgar”or ‘extreme,” we should havemade a public issue about oursuspicions that NSA had sub rosarelations with the governement.(With some naivete we tended tosuspect the State Department.)None of the fights we picked ade¬quately surfaced the establish¬ment’s commitment to the ColdWar. Our concern with domesticpriorities whether in the sub¬stance of resolutions, or in inter¬nationally oriented resolutionswhich we thought we could use tobuild a movement at home, al¬lowed the NSA insiders to contin¬ue without political challenge. Inretrospect, the elite proved its un¬derstanding of this point by itsnonchalance toward the captureof the National Affairs Vice-Presidency by the civil rights ac¬tivists or radicals. This happenedat least twice since 1960, with TimJenkins, who worked closely withSNOC in 1960-61, and Paul Potter,who worked closely with SDS in1961-1962.Winning sporadic victories,small programs like the 1961 Aca¬demic Freedom Project, whichwas funded by the CIA, many ofus on the left thought we hadstepped the first inch toward thefinal mile. But the crucial factorwas control, here the elite werenot about to allow anyone morethan that first inch. No civl rightsor university reform programwas ever allowed to gain a mo¬mentum like the internationalprogram’s.

By set-ting our sights so low, the left be¬came court jesters in the court ofthe “witting.”IN A RECENT talk with Potter,later SDS president in 1964-65, weraised the problem of the left'sstrategy when he and other SDSpeople had been aetive inNSA. Potter argues that SDSsensed at the time a certain affin¬ity with the activism and commit¬ment to public concern which theNSA brand of liberalism broughtto the campus. Given this, he says,we were trapped by the lack of anideology appropriate for an oppo¬sition in the Cold War era. Re¬membering the passivity of thestudent Fifties, we mistook sheeractivism for progress. There hadbeen, as Michael Harrington says,a missing generation. The socialdemocrats were locked into theCold War, fully as concerned withbeating the reds as the CIA; andthe remnants of the Communistold left hardly related to ouridealism. So we rested on ourability to argue issues and per¬suade the naive; we failed togenerate that compass that mighthave steered us through the pre¬carious shoals of coalition andcooptation. Instead, we hoveredaround NSA, hoping to teach itsconstituents to take one morestep, just one more step. Yet wedidn’t talk about what reallycounted; the collection of Ameri¬can voluntarism into a centralizedintelligence agency.It seems plain that the wholeunholy business would have beenunthinkable without the romanticpresence of the Cold War loomingin the background. For students on the make during the '50s and’60s only the Cold War could havemade duplicity so natural, indeedglamorous. The interesting ques¬tion is whether the Cold Warmade these developments inevita¬ble; whether an acceptance of theCold War is bound to castrate lib¬eral independence. We suspectthe answer is Yes.ONE OF THE SERIOUS lessonsof the whole affair is that ColdWarriors are not to be trusted—precisely because the Cold War istheir standard for propriety. NSAofficials have assured us that alllinks with the CIA have finallybeen severed; yet still another of¬ficial resigned saying this was notso. We slide into futile, demoraliz¬ing quest for the “unwitting”when we ought really to be set¬ting up institutions and coherentalternatives that are opposed tothe content, not just the form ofthe sordid collaboration. The factis that if American students wanttheir own national organization, itthey want honest contact withtheir opposite numbers abroad,they can no longer do it—if indeedthey ever could—through NSA.Nor can they do it in any formatresembling NSA, nor can NSAelites play any part in a new be¬ginning. Even if the CIA seemedto accede to liberal demands thatsubsidies be made public, whyshould we trust its public an¬nouncements?A seriously independent Ameri¬can student union would have toadopt strict safeguards: a publicfinancial accounting, a member¬ship base of individual students(not student governments as inNSA). It would have to be strongenough at the bottom to renderelite control impossible. Most im¬ portant, it would have to draw itsprogram from the expressedneeds of the membership. Inter¬national contacts, if any, would becontacts, not missions. We oughtto recognize, though, that Ameri¬cans of whatever politics are goingto be mistrusted around the worldfor a long time to come. This isone Cold War legacy we shallhave to live with; ugly and perni¬cious as it is, we deserve it. Ouronly serious challenge to it (andeven this may not suffice) is abreak with the Cold War: notmild and marginal dissents fromAmerican foreign policy, in theNSA mode, but a straightforwardopposition to the American van¬tage point. We must find our in¬ternational friends according toour own lights, not as the ColdWar chooses to define them. Wemust put forward our own stand¬ards for contacts, judging themnot by what America considersbest for the world but by our ownsense of whom we ought to betalking to.PHOTOGRAPHYSmartly styled, sleek and streamlined,easy to use new Kodak Instanattc I OSCamera.

HeI appeared at the invitation of UC’sDoc Films which is showing a ser¬ies of his movies this quarter.Hitchcock called improvisationaltechniques in movies unrealistic.“It is like a composer standing infront of a full orchestra with Wankpaper calling for a note!” Concern¬ing a remark equating actors andj cattle, he said, “What I said wasthat they ought to be treated likei cattle.” Again on actors, he said,! “a good actor is a man who can donothing, well.”Hitchcock said his appearance inhis films were short so he wouldnot have to suffer the indignity ofbeing an actor for too long. He toldof his favorite film. Shadow of aDoubt, and of being tailed by theFBI in the shooting of Notorious,He also spoke of his style offilm-making and about problems of being a director. The discussionlasted more than an hour and wasfollowed by a reception for MrHitchcock,Alfred Hitchcock-Letters to the Editor(Continued from Page Four)which precipitated the loss of thistitle.Finally Jeffrey Kuta, in anothercolumn in Friday’s Maroon, la-ments that we didn’t make “thepeace cause any more respecta¬ble to, say, a middle class Pole inGage Park.” I join in his la¬ment, but how 1 ask Mr. Kuta.could we possibly have accom¬plished that end, with this rally atthe University of Chicago? Iswhat Mr. Kuta asks for, program¬matic at all? Yes. Though Polesj from Gage Park do not scurry tothis campus for either Beethovenor peace, we can go to GagePark.We can do what, strangelyenough, the workshop run by Poli¬tics for Peace suggested—Go tothe middle (and lower) classneighborhoods and talk to andhelp organize people. It is a pity00 one from the Maroon attended1 our workshops; some one mighthave been stimulated to thinkabout the war and how we canbring it to an end.j “We stand on a mountain passin the midst of whirling snow andblinding mist through which weget glimpses now and then ofpaths which may be deceptive. Ifwe stand still we shall be frozento death. If we take the wrongroad f we shall be dashed topieces.”Let us be rational and thoughfuland therefore not take the wrongroad, but let us not freeze todeath.JEFFREY BLUMPresident,Student GovernmentHOWARD MACIITINGERChairman,Day of InquiryRichter ColumnTO THE EDITOR:In condemning “the paranoidstyle in campus politics” (MaroonApril 28), David Richter asserts“in all the blather about the ten¬ured historians’ prejudice againstJesse Lemisch’s politics and his¬torical method, Lemisch’s trueclaim on the university — his ex¬cellence as a teacher — has notbeen pressed.” Mr. Richter thenasks: “Whqre does this come inour radicals' rhetoric?” Theanswer is that it came in where itbelonged — at the beginning.The protest against the nonre¬tention of Mr. Letmscfc beganwith the circulation of two peti¬tions “respectfully urging” a re¬ consideration of that decision. Inpart the petition submitted by stu¬dents in the coHege stated; “Wefurther note Mr. Lemisch’s dedi¬cation to teaching and academicinquiry as evidenced by the ac¬cessibility of his counsel to hisstudents and the generous amountof time spent with them.” Thegraduate petition noted: “MrLemisch’s studies of the commonman have made us think in newand exciting ways about themovement of history. Mr. Lem¬isch is indeed a provocativeteacher. . . Even those who do no;accept his views have gained byhaving to reexamine their own po¬sition. Mr. Lemisch’s absencefrom the history departmentwould deprive us of a valuableteacher.”Both of these petitions restedtheir case on his value as a teacher; neither of them charged fcbaiMr. Lemisch was fired for politi¬cal reasons.At the public meeting attendedby Professor McNeill, I personal¬ly reminded all present that thepetitions were drawn up becauseMr. Lemisch is valued as a teach¬er. When Miss Woods dosed hercomments with an impassionedplea for the department to reconsider the petttthosl; she was clear¬ly stressing the point that Mr.Lemisch is a truly superior teach¬er.It must be noted that the com¬mittee tha t drew up the " petitionsis not the same group that spon¬sored the public meeting. And notall of us agree with all of MissWoods’ comments or with thegeneral tone of the public meet¬ing. I deplore the disrespect somespeakers showed toward Mr.McNeill. But I also deplore thesloppy reporting of the efforts toretain Mr, Lemisch.JOHN K.

Most people cheeredthe idea of “flower power” andLove-Ins. A psychologist from UCtheorized, “It’s a bright glimmerof hope in a world which is a seaof hostility.” A student from Cin¬cinnati explained, “The idea ofthis is love, that’s all.” He thenadded casually for the enlighten¬ment of the unknowing, “Loveequals acid.” A social workerdidn’t bother to define terms, butmerely smiled and said, “I be¬lieve in love.” Even the police¬men were friendly. When askedwhat he thought of the happening,one officer tossed his head andsaid, “I see it every day.” (Hisbeat must be Old Town.)MOTIVES FOR appearing atthe Be-In were assorted.
