Students Vote for NSA, against Rank in Referendaby John MoscowStudents Against the Rank(SAR) and the National Stu¬dent Association (NSA) bothwon resounding victories inyesterday’s referenda.Results tallied late last nightshowed an SAR-sponsored resolu¬tion calling on the University not torank any students winning by an803 to 445 vote in the College, whilea Student Government-sponsoredvote calling for disafilliation fromNSA lost by a vote of 1000 to 688. Faculty members also voted inthe ranking referendum which isnot binding. Preliminary resultsfrom the faculty indicate a 5 to 2margin against ending ranks, inclear contrast to the 2 to 1 marginin favor of ending ranks among thestudents.The NSA referendum was bind¬ing. Opponents of UC’s continuedmembership in the organizationhave not yet decided whether tochallenge the NSA-CORSO allot¬ment. Several members of the Stu¬dent Political Action Committee(SPAC) the SG party in power are on record as calling for an end to! UC financial support to its NSA| delegation in case the campus’votes to stay in NSA, but whether! they will act on this plan is uncer-jtain.Steve Curley, chairman of theelection committee of SG, ex¬pressed disappointment at the lowturnout, which was only about 20% ,of the eligible students of the Uni- iversity. The turn out for the rankvote, however, was much larger;46% of the college voted.The referendum question askedstudents to vote whether the pres¬ ent SG constitution should beamended to eliminate the provisionfor representation in NSA.UC has been an active partici¬pant in NSA affairs ever since thefounding of the assocalion in 1947.A meeting of students who were in¬terested in forming such an asso¬ciation was held on the UC cam¬pus, in the Reynolds Club, in De¬cember, 1946.In last month’s SG election, tenstudents were elected delegatesand alternates to this year’s NSAcongress, which will be held at theUniversity of Maryland in August. THE REFERENDUM on therank was open to Collge studentsand College faculty only. It has thestatus of an opinion pol'. ard noformal effect in changing the pres¬ent ranking policy.Dean of the College Wayne C.Booth, however, said yesterdaythat if the results show an over¬whelming majority of College stu¬dents want ranking ended, the Col¬lege Council and the Council of theUniversity Senate, which has thefinal decision-making responsibil¬ity, would certainly take the re¬sults into consideration.Chicago Maroon WEEKENDEDITION75th Anniversary YearVol. 75-No. 58 The University of Chicago Friday, May 19, 1967Administration, SPLIBSDiscuss Charges of BiasCharges that UC police discriminated against Negro stu¬dents in security checks have elicited responses from allsides.The administration announced yesterday that three Chicagolawyers have been appointed toadvise on campus security opera¬tions.

A TYPICALyears? ForOnly 58 Percent of Freshman GraduateBARAT SCENE: Will it be a Hyde Park scene in a fewthe answer of Barat girls, see page three.Student Investigates UC Dropout Rateby Larry HendelTen percent of last year’sfreshman class did not returnto the College for a secondyear. Aproximately 25 percentwill be gone by this October, andonly 58 perecnt will graduate.Why does UC have such a highattrition rate?William G. Spady, Jr., a gradu¬ate student in the Department ofEducation, claims to have discov¬ered some of the factors.IN A STUDY FOR his PhD dis-•v rtatiou, Spady examined theclass of 1969. The study shows that,for male students, the main reasonfor not returning this year was dis¬satisfaction with grades. Accordingto Spady, males were under greatpressure to get good grades; whenthey did not, many of themdropped out or transferred to eas¬ier schools.Spady maintained, though, that"this pressure is not induced en¬tirely by the University itself. It isalso carried over from high school.Somewhere along the line, Ameri-an boys have associated successnd self esteem with “A’S.”Disappointing GradesIn many cases, the study shows,niale students who were disappoint-d with their grades left, even though they felt they had learned agreat deal here.Girsl were not as concered withgrades as they were with integrat¬ing themselves into the college so¬cial system. According to Spady,“a woman is typically freed fromthe necessity of establishing aprofessional career, and her gradeperformance is likely to have lessbearing on both her morale and herdecision to leave or stay.”SPADY COLLECTED most ofthis data from the students them¬selves. All the students in the classof 1969 filled out two detailed ques¬tionnaires about themselves, one inSeptember, 1965, before they ar¬rived at Chicago, and one in Aprilof their first year. Through this in-formation and through information*obtained from the admissions of¬fice, where Spady worked for threeyears, he was able to gain someinsight into the personal values and*major concerns of each student.More importantly, he was able todetermine how the student’s opin¬ion of himself changed after spend¬ing two quarters at the college.“Knowing as much as possibleabout the student before he getshere has only a limited effect ondropout predictions. The big effectis what happens once he gets here. Attitudes a FactorBesides discovering that lowgrades and poor social integrationwere the two main reasons fordropping out, Spady also found thatstudents with “extreme” attitudesand behavior were most inclined toleave the college.According to Spady, this conclu¬sion is consistent with the conclu¬sions of similar studies done onother college campuses. However,other studies found that if “de¬viant” students were able to formfriendships with people who sharedtheir opinions, they were likely tostay. This was not always the caseat UC.TO MEASURE THE effect of po¬litical opinion on the rate of drop¬outs, Spady dvided the studentbody into four groups: conserva¬tives, middle of the roaders, liber¬als, and radical leftists. If thesefour, the conservatives and espe¬cially the radical leftists tended todrop out the most, even when thestudent’s sex and grades were heldconstant. But unlike the conserva¬tives, the radical leftists were unu¬sually prone to drop out even ifthey had close friends with thesame political views.Spddy’s explanation for this phe¬nomenon was that the radical left¬ ists had a marked “disaffection”for University life, and this disaf¬fection increased when they asso¬ciated with people with a similarattitude. People who were political¬ly conservative, however, felt only“incompatible” with the college,and association with like mindedpeople made them less likely todrop out because it provided socialcontact and social integration."Extremists"“Extremists” in terms of sexualhabits or student activism alsowere more likely to drop out thanthe “moderates.” However, Spadydiscovered that those people whowere involved in the more conserv¬ative student activities, such asathletics, fended to be less sociallyintegrated than those in the moreliberal activities, such as SDS orSWAP. The members of neither ofthese groups, though, were as wellintegrated as the members of moremoderate groups.Spady also found a correllationbetween the student’s field of studyand his tendency to leave UC. So¬cial science and natural sciencemajors dropped out at approxi¬mately the same rate. Natural sci¬ence majors dropped out predomi-(Continued on Page Twelve) only thing both schools have agreedto do is explore the idea, he noted.Both schools, for probably therest of this year, will conduct feasi¬bility studies in an attempt to esti¬mate costs, find a suitable location,and decide exactly what the rela¬tionship between the two schoolswould be. “It’s comparable to ne¬gotiations Vassar has been havingwith Yale,” Wick observed.While Barat, if it does decide tomove here, will have to provide allits own basic facilities, Wick doesforesee some kind of plan wherebyUC students could take courses atBarat and vice versa, and also aplan allowing Barat to use UC’sstudent health and library facili¬ties. He noted that while UC isprobably better academically inmost fields, Barat is strong whereUC is weak, namely in the per¬forming arts such as drama. “Iwould think that they would bevery jealous of maintaining theirown identity,” Wick added.W’ick also noted that UC’s basicrole in any move by Barat wouldl be simply that of selling SouthCampus land to the school. UCowns mos’ of the land in the area .“The question is whether we wouldallow Barat College to buy some ofthat land from us,” he said.FROM UC's own experiences,Wick observed, it would be at leastthree years and probably longerbefore Barat finished its feasibilitystudy, drew up plans, gave outbuilding contracts, and was finallyready to open its doors on the otherside of the Midway.Most of the University’s adminis¬tration feels such a move would beadvantageous from UC’s point ofview, although Wick observed that“it would probably be better forthem than for us.” He said thatUC males might also see Barat asin their interests.Assistant Dean of StudentsJames Newman said, “The moreinteresting things there are goingon, the better off we are.”WICK POINTED out that theidea has a good chance of becom¬ing a reality, not only because ofthe advantages Barat sees in anurban setting, but because Baratstudents have been conducting a tu¬torial program in Woodlawn for thelast several years and are thus fa¬miliar with the area, and both stu¬dents and faculty at the school ap¬pear very interested and excitedover the prospect*.NCD Seminar Looks for "Theological Ethos"by Marilyn Ursu“We are surrounded todayby people who want immediateillumination,” commentedHenry Rago on the numbersand enthusiasm of students in hisnew experimental seminar on “Re¬ligion in the Intellectual Life.”Rago, a poet as well as a profes¬sor, reflected this week on what hehas been trying to do in his semi¬nar, which has attracted peoplefrom throughout the University al¬though it is offered primarilythrough the New Collegiate Divi¬sion. Rago, edits Poetry magazine,and will have the permanent postof professor of theology and litera¬ture.From the overwhelming responseto the course, with about 20 creditand up to 100 non-credit studentsattending, Rago concluded that re¬ligion is an important concern forstudents. “We had in some cases tocool their ardor, to get across thatthe approach to religion is meantto be intelligible and communicableas well as illuminating experi¬ence,” Rago commented.EXPLAINING THAT his courseis “not so much a subject as a con¬cern, as philosophy is a ‘way’,”Rago remarked, "I don’t know what it is to short-circuit thesearch for a ‘way’ or to shorten it.We try to teach patience.”The search for a “way” is a vitalpart of both liberal education andreligion, Rago remarked, since anyperson deeply involved in studyingin one discipline, such as poetry,will come upon concerns beyondhis own art or science.Theological Ethos'His seminar, Rago explained, ex¬plored how individual disciplinescould suggest at some points a“kind of theological ethos.” Begin¬ning in the fall quarter with thetitle, “Religion and the PresentState of Poetry,” the course askedstudents to think of poetry in termsof the moment at which the poet iswriting, and what that moment“suggests” about line, rhythm, andstructure.In this way, Rago suggested, onecan see metaphor as “in somesense sacramental. The poetdoesn't choose it. It chooses thepoet.” course grew out of questions raisedby the first quarter seminar. “Ifpoetry points beyond itself,” hesaid, “we began to wonder whetherother disciplines do the same thing,■or if poetry is just special becauseit opens out on so many human| concerns and stirs special humanlongings. We wondered, whether alldisciplines in the liberal arts areperhaps ultimately philosophicaland point beyond themselves.”Operating on the assumption thatthey do, Rago styled the secondquarter seminar, “Procedures andCommitments,” so that history,philosophical psychology, politics,law, myth, science and religion it¬self came under consideration.Each week a guest lecturer con¬ducted the session, attempting todetermine what it was that his dis¬cipline approached.For example, Rago said, “thoughthe law is always the law, thatwhich the law approximates liesbeyond it and is justice.” MaxRheinstein, Professor of Law whoj conducted the session on the law, |THE SECOND quarter of the put together a casebook which ex¬ emplified the tension between lawand justice. It is justice, or some¬thing other than the law, whichmakes the law more itself, Ragosaid.Truth and LoveThe final sessions, “Truth andMyth” and “Love”, raised the ulti¬mate question of truth, or what alldisciplines point toward. In somesense, Rago said, “I was alwaysasking of the visitors, ‘What do youknow when you know what youknow, and what do you know be¬yond it when you know it? This isthe question of truth.”He also always asked, “Why doyou want to know?” “This is thequestion of interest or engagement,which is finally the question oflove,” he said.THE THIRD quarter course,“Forms and Statements,” reachedback to the basic elements orforms out of which religious experi¬ence receives expression and thenconsidered the development of lan¬guage about religious experience.The forms with which student pro¬jects are concerned can be “anygesture, utterance, or act that can¬ not be reduced to a proposi¬tion—e.g. dance, myth, life style.”Modern playwrights, such asEliot, Yeats, Auden, Claudel, Coc¬teau, Brecht, Beckett and Genet,Mr. Rago said, “all have realizedthat theatre is not just the stagebut includes an audience that seesits destiny in the play and yields toit at one point.”Rago calls the “Statements”component of this last seminar“the moment in the whole coursewhen we become explicit about re¬ligion.” “In all else that we do upto this point, he added, somethingleads towrard, goes with, or comesfrom religion.”This section of the course is di¬vided into two parts. The first partincludes a consideration of state¬ments about religious experienceand the phenomenon of religion inhistory (Whitehead and Dewey)and statements about religious dis¬course by language philosophersWittgenstein and John Wisdom.“It's a very good moment in philo¬sophy to be inquiring about reli¬gion, to ask, what does it mean tosay ‘I believe?’ ” Rago said.To the Company ofRICHARD IIItwenty-eight actorssixteen techniciansseven musiciansfour artiststwo designersone drummer drummingand a morningstarin a steel treeThank You!JAMES O'REILLYfor »he University TheatreFree toChicagoStudents25c to othersA new booklet, published by anon-profit educational founda¬tion, tells which career fieldlets you make the best use ofall your college training, in¬cluding liberal-arts courses—which career field offers100,000 new jobs every year—which career field producesmore corporation presidentsthan any other—what startingsalary you can expect.

Three Maroonstaff members—John Moscow, NewsEditor Ken Simonson, and Leanne!Star—wrote separate accounts oftheir impressions of the school, whichwere then combined and condensed.)LAKE FOREST, Ill. — It!wasn’t until Sunday eveningthat word of the proposed re-|location of Barat College onthe University of Chicago campus Ileaked out into the dormitories ihere. Since then “nothing else hasbeen discussed,” according to one ■senior. “This campus has neverseen so much action.”Nearly everyone at the Lake For- jest campus Wednesday and Thurs¬day were practically overjoyed at:the prospect of ‘‘getting attached to |a great university.” Most studentsregarded the move as a shrewddeal on the part of Barat, andmany expressed regret that the jproposal hadn’t been made severalyears ago.“I've always thought of UC asone of the greatest schools in the;country,” sighed a pretty brunette.“In fact, if 1 knew for sure that wewould move there I wouldn’t think,of transferring. As it is, I think'Barat is stagnating—I've workedless here than in high school.”SEVERAL STUDENTS eagerlylooked forward to the possibility ofshared faculties and facilities. Ajunior majoring in history said thatshe had taken nine courses fromthe same professor because the de¬partment had only two facultymembers. Another junior gripedthat “it's terrible to have to go offcampus for books every time youwant to do a paper.”A third claimed the move wouldbe valuable for counteracting the“Sacred Heart mystique.” She saida lot of women come to Barat, aSacred Heart college, from SacredHeart high schools with very limit¬ed environments. The UC communi¬ty is “just the kind of change manystudents need,” she noted thought¬fully.The faculty too were enthusedabout the prospect of using UC’sgreater facilities (Barat’s librarycontains a thirtieth of the numberof volumes in Harper and itsbranches), the opportunity for rais- BaraFs president, Mother Margaret Burkestudents.ing Barat’s standards, and the pos¬sibility of their taking UC graduatecourses.A few others were leery of theproposal. As one senior put it, “Ac¬ademically, it’s good, but there’smore to college than academics.We’d have to give up our traditionif we moved.FOR MANY YEARS Barat wasthe most socially prestigious of theCatholic women’s colleges in theMidwest, and traces of this are stillaround. “There is this one bunch ofgirls who came here for prestige,or because their mothers did,” ex¬plained one Negro sophomore, “butthere are fewer and fewer of these. and one if you’re radical you can’t be real¬istic. Why bother to protest? Thereis nothing to protest about,” saidone freshman. “Not just in LakeForest,” she continued, “but allover things are okay. Why pro¬test?”On Current AffairsBikini-clad students who had tak¬en a break from classes to sun¬bathe on the roof of a dormitoryseemed to speak more freely andrelaxedly to a female reporterabout their opinions on current af-!fairs.Most felt that the war in Vietnamwas unfortunate, but almost allagreed that escalation was the onlyanswer. “We have to knock ’emdown militarily so we can startpeaceful negotiations,” was the!summary of one girl. j When asked about religious viewsof the war, most felt that “it hasnothing to do with religion.” But ifthe war has nothing to do with reli¬gion, they were asked, then shouldthe Pope be pleading for peace?j “It’s true he’s for peace,” ex¬plained a helpful student, “but it’salso religious to give these peopletheir freedom—it’s like a Crusade.”SPEAKING ABOUT another cru¬sader, President Johnson, a talka¬tive freshman offered: “he’s prettygood in social reforms. He’s tryingto help Negroes—it’s a kind of so¬cialism.” But “the Negroes are tooeasily led,” the same girl observed.The other students nodded and saidthat they favored peaceful leadersbut not people like Stokely Carmi¬chael—“He’s a young radical and afool.”CINEMACHICAGO AVE AT MICHIGANACADEMY AWARDWINNER"A MAN & A WOMAN"Anouk AimeeIn ColorSun-Times * * * *AMERICAN—For anyone whose ever been in loveStudents $1.50 with I.O. card every deybut Saturday.Weekdays open i pm.

Deanof Students Warner A. Wick says that the Barat Collegeof the future may well be part of the University’s south cam¬pus, establishing a near-impregnable wall of 600 Catholic girlsbetween Woodlawn and the soft UC intellectual underbelly.What Barat’s exact academic relation to UC would be is notclear, but it has been indicated that the school would probablyshare UC library and health facilities. There is also a goodpossibility that UC students and Barat girls will rub shouldersin class together.THE ARRANGEMENT would probably not be too differentfrom the relations which now exist between UC and the nu¬merous seminaries existent or coming into existence in theHyde Park area.As far as we’re concerned, Barat would probably benefitmore from the move to campus than UC would, but we see nocompelling reasons to oppose their coming.We do feel, however, that a couple of important factorsshould be kept in mind. First and foremost, there is a housingshortage in Hyde Park. A thirty acre campus if located in HydePark will considerably aggravate an already acute problem. IfBarat College is located on the South campus, dormitories willbe built on land cleared of buildings that housed Woodlawnresidents. And redevelopers have traditionally been more con¬cerned with clearing people out than with finding them aplace to go.Another problem worth considering is the question of howUC’s meager facilities for its own students can be effectivelyshared by 600 extra girls.If the library and eating places are inadequate now, howmuch more inadequate will they become as the population ofthe University community continually increases, not only byvirtue of new institutions, but also through the anticipatedgrowth of our own.SIX HUNDRED WELL scrubbed and hopefully smilingfaces wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen to UC, but themove of Barat to this campus is very ill advised unless plansare made now to provide adequate housing in Hyde Park, hu¬mane redevelopment in Woodlawn and an upgrading of UC’sinadequate eating, study, and recreational facilities.mm Chicago MaroonEditor-in-Chief David A.

It is arevised version of a paper read atleast year’s meeting of the Orga¬nization of American Historians,and it will be published in theWilliam and Mary Quarterly. Myremarks introducing the paperwere partially reported in the Ma¬roon of May 12; what follows is afuller version of those remarkswith a few later interpolations (inbrackets). I do not present this asa full statement of my positionbut rather as an attempt to put incontext the few statements attrib¬uted to me in the Maroon’s neces¬sarily brief account.... It is my hope that this pre¬sentation win do a bit to bring theenormously useful discussion (ofmy case in particular and of fac¬ulty promotion policies in gener¬al) in which this campus is en¬gaged back to scholarship, backto the criteria by which scholar¬ship is judged, the criteria bywhich some men are promotedand others dismissed.FIRST, SOME REMARKS onthe controversy. 1116 Maroon hasdone me the favor of nominatingme for the post of “agitator inresidence.” I must decline, withgratitude. I mean that about grat¬itude. Although I have stayed outof this debate—because thereare some important principals atstake, and I don’t want peopleacting simply because they likeme or think I’m a good guy—Iam human, and l am happy whenpeople are for me. More impor¬tantly, I have found support ofany kind welcome, shocked as Ihave been by the air of hostilityon this campus. Three weeks agoI was awakened at two in themorning by a telephone call froma mature man with a faintly aris¬tocratic accent. With all the ven¬om at his command, he shouted,“Far from a common man, youare the most despicable man Ihave ever met” and hung up.Now what’s going on here? Whatwas going on last November whena small group of faculty memberswho had supported SAR lastspring and had been told by theircolleagues that sit-ins were im¬proper, that they must work“through channels,” attempted todo just that? We ran a partialslate of moderate candidates foroffice in the local chapter of theAmerican Association of Universi¬ty Professors. The then president,who lam sure is rightly known tomost people who meet him as akindly gentleman, moved the vot¬ing ahead of its announced placeon the meeting’s agenda, cut it offabruptly when some of our peoplecame in, and acted so intemper-alely and so impolitely that thedistinguished professor who wehad nominated for presidentwalked out. What was going onthen? What is going on whendeans privately write angry let¬ters to undergraduates about theirpublicly expressed views on cam¬pus issues? I think that what isgoing on in all these cases is this:this campus has been so obsessedfor so long with what the reportof Professors Binder, Boorstin et.al. (on the O’Connell affair) calls“the general value consensus”that it does not know how to copewith disagreement. On a universi¬ty campus, of all places, real dis¬agreement has become bad taste.How in the world do they expectknowledge to advance in an envi¬ronment in which placidity has sooften become a higher goal thantruth? When that placidity is dis¬rupted, when someone disagrees,or when someone attempts to re¬vive the atrophied organs of de¬ mocracy by daring to run an op¬position slate, they simply do notknow how to react: they have for¬gotten that men of good will candisagree.THESE ATTITUDES also findexpression in scholarship and inattitudes toward new scholarship.Here is part of a chapter on thepost-war world in a prominenthistorian’s textbook of UnitedStates history:. . .For more than a decade,disruptive new forces touchedoff a succession of incidentsthat kept the world on theverge of war. Latin America,Asia, and Africa seethed withunrest. In those vast areas,nationalism and social revolu¬tion kept disturbing existingconditions and readily spreadacross estaWished boundarylines. Through the difficultyears after I960, the UnitedStates pursued a tortuouscourse, struggling to avoidwar yet determined to honorits commitments to freedom,(emphasis added)Now the unasked question here is,just what is disruptive? The re¬bellion of the Latin American,Asian and African peasant-or theconditions of their daily lives? Isa riot in Watts disruptive—or arethe people of Watts forced to livein conditions disruptive of normalliving? Is revolution disruptive, orthe conditions which lead to it? Ithink it is really accepting toomuch of the awful values whichare current in the university tosay that a man who stands upand says no is disruptive, a “rab¬ble rouser.” I have neither thestomach nor the ideology of anagitator. I don’t like deferenceand think that it is the peculiardisease of undergraduates at theU of C; I want no one agreeingwith me for any other reason thanthat their judgment agrees withmine. I have said only what Ithink is right, and that does notmake me an agitator.Finally, about “agitators-in-residence,” I think it is a badidea to institutionalize protest as ifit were an eccentricity. All of usshould feel the responsibility toprotest against what we think is' wrong. I prefer to be judged as ascholar—not as an agitator—and Iam here tonight to give you theopportunity to judge, for better orworse. (I noted that a copy of mypaper, with documentation, is onreserve in Harper). Your pres¬ence here is in a sense a revolu¬tionary act, a commendably arro¬gant act: you are saying that per¬haps you can decide for your¬selves.By what criteria has my workbeen judged inadequate? Is it notbarbaric that in 1967 people aredismissed with no reason beingoffered? I have been told onlythat I was not objective enoughand that my convictions inter¬fered with my scholarship. As aman of very strong convictions Ihave always been concernedabout this very real problem-andthat is why I value so much as akind of “control” the judgment ofmany conservative historians,men who do not share my convic¬tions at all, but who have beenkind enough to speak well of mywork. Clearly the U of C historydepartment does not agree withthese conservative scholars. Whatcriteria did they apply? Do crite¬ria exist? If so, are they consist¬ently applied? By what criteriawas I judged worthy to be hiredin the first place? What does itmean to say that convictions in¬terfere with scholarship? Whatwas said in a department meetingto lead Mr. McNeill to that con¬clusion? What of my colleague’sconviclions-to which they have aperfect right. There is no suchthing as secret professionalism.Either the work is judged by known, consensual standards, orthe judgment is no judgment atall. If my scholarship is deficient,I welcome criticism expressedopenly and publicly in the tradi¬tional ways which scholars haveused. Those who express concernabout the effect of the student ag¬itation on my career must knowthat careers are more endangeredby private gossip (due to unex¬plained dismissals) than by publiccriticism.THE PURSUIT OF truth is a no¬ble goal. (If the reader finds him¬self uncomfortable with the ideasthat 1) there is such a thing asobjective truth and 2) that it isthe historian’s job to try to find it,let him ponder the irony in thejudging of a scholar who believesvery firmly in the pursuit of truthby men of more relativistic bent.What criteria can they apply?)Truth is especially important fora radical who is dissatisfied withthings as they are and committedto changing them. He must findout how things have in factworked; he cannot content him.self with myths-whether they bemyths about affluent societies orabout a heroic proletariat. (If theproletariat is not in fact heroic,he bad better know about it be¬fore the revolution). The conserv¬ative may also pursue truth, andmany do; but the need is not sogreat, the stakes are not so highThe pursuit of truth can only gainfrom open examination and dis¬pute.As a conclusion to this preface,I want to read you a poem whichI give to my classes in history asexpressing the kinds of questionswhich 1 am trying to ask. It is byBertolt Brecht, and it is called“Questions Asked by a Workerwhile Reading History”:Who built the seven towers ofThebes?The books are filled with namesof kings.Was it kings who hauLed thecraggy blocks of stone?.. .In the evening when the Chinesewall was finishedWhere did the masons go?Young Alexander plundered India.He alone?Caesar beat the Gauls.Was there not even a cook inhis army?Philip of Spain wept as his fleetWas sunk and destroyed. Werethere no other tears?Frederick the Great triumphedin the Seven Years War. WhoTriumphed with him? . . .Every ten years a great man,Who paid the piper?So many particulars.So many questions.We asked these questions not onlybecause as humane people wewant to be just in our judgmentsof the past but also because ashistorians we want our judgmentsto be true. American history can’tclaim to be true so long as itlooks so much as it does from thetop down; it must deal with thequestions Brecht asks. My papertries to deal with some of thosequestions. . .(SOME OF THE orientationswhich may be summarized, per¬haps somewhat inadequately, un¬der the heading, “consensusscholarship,” are by no meanslimited to the U of C. In fact, forsome time most of what onemember of the history depart-ment calls “the pacesetters” inAmerican historiography havebeen associated with such views.What does it mean that in recentyears pacesetters have been sodown on radicals in America spast-and present? It may meanthat radicals have been wrong.But one also wants to inquire intothe sociology of the profession:has the profession—and the socie¬ty—rewarded those whose view oJ(Continued on Page Ten)The Chicago Literary ReviewVol. 4, No. 6 June, 1967A Decade of Dickey: Poetic Pilgrim’s ProgressPoems 1957-1967, by James Dick¬ey. Wesleyan University Press.$6.95James Dickey published his firstbook of poetry in 1960. In eightshort yfears, he has producedenough to fill a 300-page volume.Dickey’s productivity, though, is asexcellent as it is voluminous. He hasalready received a National BookAward (1966), and other recogni¬tions. Unheard of ten years ago, notanthologized until the last couple ofyears, James Dickey has alreadybeen cited (by Life!) as “the hottestof emerging U. S. poets.” Poems1957-1967 justifies this citation.It is often interesting to judge apoet in terms of the criteria he him¬self uses to judge others. Dickeyhas suggested such a way to evalu¬ate poetry:There are four or five main waysof reacting to poems, and they allmatter. In ascending order of im¬portance they are (a) “This proba¬bly isn’t so and even if it were Icouldn’t care less,” (b) “This maybe true enough as far as it goes,but, well... so what?” (c) “This istrue, or at least convincing andtherefore I respond to it differentlythan I do to poems in the first twocategories,” and (d) “This is truewith a kind of truth at which Icould never have arrived by my¬self. but its truth is better than theone I believed.”Applying this to Dickey’s poetry,we find that nearly all of it fallsinto the last two categories.In an article entitled “The PoetTurns On Himself,” Dickey hastraced his own creative evolution inan incredibly honest, open and suc¬cinct manner. He tells us that whileparticipating in World War II, herealized that “occasionally, very oc¬casionally,” he would hear or read apopular phrase which would havean “unforeseeable but right correla¬tion between lived time—experience—and word s.” Thisawareness gradually prompted a de¬sire to write poetry (he did not be¬gin until he was twenty-four). Italso began his quest for direct “ob¬servation” and “immediacy,” whichin turn led to “the belief in the in¬exhaustible fecundity of individualmemory.”Memory has been the chiefsource of Dickey’s poetry. Thetilings of greatest concern to him,his family, his war experiences, hisknowledge of nature, and death arethe subject matter of his poetry.Vet, though he has limited his mate¬rial severely, this restriction seemsto have been right for Dickey—weare never forced to wail: “The sameold story, again!” What would crip¬ ple the work of a lesser poet (noticethe boredom resulting from repeti¬tions in Allen Ginsberg’s work) be¬comes a means of a vertical expan¬sion for Dickey. In believing thatthe isolated episodes and incidentsof a human life make up, in theend, a kind of sum, a continuousstory with different episodes.. . inthe case of a poet they are not somuch what he writes but what heis. If I were to arrange my ownpoems in some such scheme,chronologizing them, they wouldform a sort of story of this kind,leading from childhood in the northof Georgia through high school withits athletics and wild motorcycleriding, through a beginning attemptat education in an agricultural col¬lege, through World War II and theKorean War as a flyer in a night-fighter squadron, through anotherbeginning at college, this time com¬pleted, through various attempts ata valid love affair culminating inthe single successful one known as“marriage,” through two children,several deaths in the family, trav¬els, reflections, and so on.Dickey found that his peculiarfeelings and experiences did noteasily lend themselves to the poeticlanguages he was familiar with. Hewished to avoid “the license thatmany poets claimed for themselves”as well as the “dead, period-stylepoems indistinguishable from oneanother, the fodder of classrooms.”This problem of style led to asearch for appropriate form. Thefirst question to arise was one ofrhyme; but since he found rhymedistasteful and artificial, Dickeychose to “try to come to terms withmy subjects in some other way.”Next came meter and rhythm.Dickey explains, “I have always liked strongly cadenced languageand the sound of words in a line ofverse is to me a very important partof its appeal.” He therefore wentout and read books on prosody,which instructed him in the use ofthe iambic line. But “it was not un¬til later that I thought to analyzethe metrical basis of the sounds Ikept hearing at odd times.. .anddiscovered that they were anapes-tic.” Dickey continues,Along with the rhythmical experi¬ments, I also found that what I wasworking toward was a verystripped kind of simplicity inverse; what I really wanted to beable to do was to make effectivestatements. I began to use shortlines, usually having three accentsor beats, because I wanted to sayone thing—hopefully, one memora¬ble thing—in each line: one thingthat would make its own kind ofimpression and would also connectwith other single things, one perline, and so form a whole poem.These are the methods and goals ofDickey’s early poems, the poemswhich make up the volume Into theStone. The opening lines of the ti¬tle poem show what he was after:On the way to a woman, I giveMy heart all the way into moon¬light.Now down from all sides it isbeating.The moon turns around in the fixOf its light; its other side totallyshines.Dickey explains that these simpledeclarative sentences had, at times,the very quality he wanted. This ledto an awareness of two things. First,he preferred to work with narrativein order to play on the “what hap¬pens next” curiosity of the reader. He also found that the poems inwhich “there was no clear-cut dis¬tinction between what was actuallyhappening and what was happeningin the mind of the character in thepoem” were those which he foundmost fruitful. What he aimed at was“a fusion of inner and outer states,of dream, phantasy, and illusionwhere everything partakes of theprotagonist’s mental processes andcreates a single impression.”Dickey’s second volume, Drown¬ing with Others, makes use of thesenew discoveries. In “The HospitalWindow,” the narrator describeshis state upon leaving his dying fa¬ther:I have just come down from myfather.Higher and higher he lies.Above me in a blue lightShed by a tinted window.I drop through six white floorsAnd then step out onto pavement.It was in his NBA-winning vol¬ume, Buckdancer’s Choice, thatDickey left the realm of the count¬less poets we call “good” in re¬views. This work put him headsabove most of his contemporariesand entered him on the small list ofpoets whose work is worthy of hisfourth class, the class of which“even those whom we can ‘major’(Continued on page two)TABLE OF CONTENTSFiction:An Expensive Place to Die,by Len Deighton 3The Unicorn Girl,by Caroline Glyn . 4Death on the Installment Plan,by Louis Ferdinand Celine . 7 :H p| International Affairs:Containment and Change,by Carl Oglesby andRichard Shaull 4Literary Criticism:|f The Idea of the Humanitiesand Other Essays, Critical and |Historical, by R.

I was interestedmost of all in getting an optimum“presentational immediacy,” acompulsiveness in the presentationof the matter of the poem thatwould cause the reader to forgetliterary judgements entirely andsimply experience. I experimentedwith short lines some more and,eventually, with putting several ofthese together on the same physi¬cal plane to make up what I calledth$ “split line,” in which spacesbetween the word groups wouldtake the place of punctuation.The discovery of his “split” linehas been as important as Dickeymakes it out to be. In all his first-rate poems he makes use of this dis¬tended line. “The Firebombing”was Dickey's first poem in this newform and is the finest poem inBuckdancer's Choice. It has alsorapidly become the poem criticstalk about when they mention Dick¬ey (M. L. Rosenthal for one, discuss¬es it briefly in his new volume TheNew Poets). “The Firebombing” is apoem about a man reexaminingexperiences as a pilot involved inthe bombing of Japan twenty yearsago. It is a long poem which care¬fully describes the torture thespeaker has felt since the war as aresult of his ambivalent feelings to¬ward the bombing—the horror ofdestroying human life and yet theGod-like pleasure of being in a posi¬tion to do so. All this is set in thejuxtaposition of the Japanese sub¬urb being bombed and the speaker’ssuburban home from which he istelling the story. “The Firebomb¬ing” is an extremely powerful andgrabbing poem. The last few linesgive some idea of its intensity.But it may be that I couldnot,If I tried, say to anyWho lived there, deep in myflames: say, in coldGunning sweat, as to anotherAs these homeowners who are al¬ways curvingNear me down the different-grassed street: sayAs though to the neighborI borrowed the hedge-clipperfromOn the darker-grassed side of thetwo,Come in, my house is yours,come inIf you can, if youCan pass this unfired door.

Sentence? No mat¬ter;Tbe thing itself is in that.This “split” line increases the ef¬fect of his impressionistic mannerof description and the spacing al¬lows him to speed up or slow downhis movement. The poems in thisnew style become a series of flash¬es, which convey a total effect bymeans of tightly connected images.The line also produces its own spe¬cial effect, like the momentary am¬biguity often created by line breakssuch as “she touches one button ather throat, and rigor mortis/Slith-ers into his pockets, making every¬thing there—keys, pen and secretlove—stand up.”Poems-1957-1967 also containstwo quite recent works. One is Fall-Selected Poems of Gunner Ekelof,Translated by Muriel Rukeyser &Leif Sjoberg. Twayne Publishers,Inc. $4.00.Some say translation is impossi¬ble. If so, then the impossibility iscertainly compounded in the case ofpoetry. Yet, should a poet who ishailed as a major literary force inhis own country be relegated to ob¬scurity in other countries becausehe writes in a language known tofew? Or would it be better to trans¬late, hoping that even if somethingis lost, more will be conveyed?Choosing the latter course, Ru¬keyser and Sjoberg have translateda selection from nine of Ekelof’svolumes published in Sweden.Through the fortuitous circum¬stances that Swedish is conceptuallycloser to English than, say, the Ori¬ental languages, combined with anexcellent and faithful translation,much of Ekelof’s rebellion againsttechnology and the welfarestate—often embodied in a trance¬like timelessness—comes across inthis all too small volume.It is unfortunate that economiclimitations forced on the publisherby the rather small book-buyingpublic of the USA did not permit abilingual edition. Had it been possi¬ble, the reader not only could haveseen the merits of the translationhimself, but in all probability couldhave developed a certain feeling forthe Swedish as well. Much of Eke¬lof’s poetry is deceptively simplein its eloquence, thus lending itselfparticularly well to bilingual repre¬sentation:Among WaterliliaaI have written a preface to what Imeant to saythen crossed it out.—But still Iwishthat before darkness closes abovemethe last of me that is seenshall be a fist clenched among wat-erliliesand the last that is heard be aword of bubblesfrom the bottom. ing, the volume which closes thecollection. We see Dickey using the“split” line more and more, thoughnot giving up the older forms com¬pletely. As in Buckdancer’s Choice,however, the finest of the poemsmake use of this line. The othernew entry is the poem which opensthe collection, entitled “May DaySermon to the Women of GilmerCounty, Georgia, By a WomanPreacher Leaving the BaptistChurch.” In it the woman tells herfemale flock about the annual re¬birth of life which occurs “Eachyear at this time.” It is the longestpoem in the collection and provesthat even a good thing (like the“split” line) can be overdone. It be¬comes tedious by being so very dis¬tended (just like a sermon!). As wellas having an independent place as awork on its own, however, the “MayDay Sermon” seems to have beenBland NackrosorJag bar skrivit eo inlednaug till vadjag skulle ha sagtmen jag bar strubil den.—Dock oo-skar jagatt innan morkret slar sammanover niigdet sista som syns av migshall vara en knuten nave blandnackrosororb det sista som hors ett ord avbubblorfran botten.Of course such direct translationis impossible in many of Ekelof’spoems. This is particularly true ofEn Molna-elegi, a stream-of- con¬sciousness epic of great length, thatcan perhaps best be described as anattempt to put an entire life, an en¬tire cultural awareness within theframework of a second in the pres¬ent.This compression of time—oftencounterbalanced by elongation—combined with the continuous in¬volvement of the self in reality (in afashion not unlike* that of Proust orJoyce) is one of the central recur¬ring features in Ekelof’s poetry.Gunnar Ekelof is very much apoet of our technological age, butnot contentedly so. As Sjoberg men¬tions in the introduction, Ekelof’s“dislikes the artificiality, the Ersatzso common in our culture and han¬kers for the simplicity and joy ofcertain periods, like the baroqueperiod of eighteenth-century Swed¬en, or Antiquity.” His aversion tothe mechanized world, with its sep¬aration of man from the naturalworld, is stressed over and overagain, as for instance in the follow¬ing fragment from “If You AskMe”:Why do you ask for an aircraftto travel inAsk instead for a filter for nitrogena filter for carbon dioxide, hydro¬gen and other gasesAsk for a filter for all that sep¬arates usa filter for lifeStill, even in his rebellion againstthe industrial world, Ekelof doesnot attempt to strike its imageryfrom his poetry or to negate it; in- specifically written to introducethis collection. It contains Dickey’scurrent statement of “This is whereI am and this is what I am.” That is,it shows his current developmentand summarizes the material in hisprevious work. Through an accept¬ance of death, the “May Day Ser¬mon” calls for a rebirth from death,a re-awakening' and a re¬experiencing. It restates Dickey’smost basic plea—that it is necessaryto live life fully and make the mostof our experiences. Although the“Sermon” is not a first-rate poemon its own, it is a suitable openingfor Poems 1957-1967: the forceful,masculine voice of James Dickeycalling our attention to this impor¬tant body of verse.Brian CormanMr. Corman is a first-year graduatestudent in the department of Englishat The University of Chicago.stead he uses it. He turns the tech¬nical deadfalls of our Western civi¬lization (in opposition to the time¬less, nonmaterial East, which in¬spires and influences so much ofEkelof’s work) upon themselves,producing a great self-destroyingmachine of words. Death is for Eke¬lof almost the final process of hu¬manization. Technology progressesuntil man reaches “Euphoria,” untilthe individual’s end, until nothingis left but the world of nature.. ..

Putnam's Sons.$4.95.“The birds flew around for noth¬ing but the hell of it. It was thatsort of spring day: a trailer for thecoming summer. Some birds flew inneat disciplined formations, some inragged mobs, and higher, muchhigher flew the loner who didn’tlike corporate decisions.”Such a loner is the hero of LenDeighton’s five novels of espionage.He is a misfit, constantly fightingagainst the Establishment in the lit¬tle ways left for little people to use.He abhors the paperwork which isthe trademark and main duty of hisjob. When sent on some menial er¬rand or courier assignment, he con¬soles himself with the knowledgethat at least he can escape themountain of memoranda in his INtray. His favorite indoor sport isboss-baiting, which he accomplisheswith consummate skill. He doesn’teven want to be a “spy”—he hasbeen blackmailed into working forBritish intelligence, and a long anduncomfortable prison stretch hangsover his head.He is, not prone to excessive hero¬ics, believing that he who fights andruns away lives to run another day.In spite of his cynicism and thiscareful prudence in times of dangerto life and limb, he occasionally for¬gets himself and does somethingveddy British, like risking his lifefor a friend or, even more occasion¬ally, for, a principle. Oh, he hateshimself for. it—sometimes (as laterdevelopments prove) with good rea¬son—and he considers it a damnednuisance, but that doesn’t stop himfrom doing it again. In physical ap¬pearance, he is certainly no Adonis.He is middle-aged, a trifle over¬weight, and wears glasses. His hob¬bies are cooking and the study ofmilitary history. He is, in otherwords, a very human, very believ¬able character.In retent years, spy fiction hasbeen getting increasingly out ofband. James Bond created the first“credibility gap,” and a whole raftof Xerox copies of Fleming’s crea¬tion have continued to appear at analarming rate. Writers like Deigh¬ton and John -Le Carre have led thereaction * to this brand of tripe.Deightort’s first three novels, TheI per ess Filfc, Funeral in Berlin, andThe Billion Dollar Brain have madehim an acknowledged master of thegenre he calls “fictional documenta¬ry.” A Deighton book is not smooth,polished** and lightweight like aBond book. He likes to keep his fin¬ished product "ragged and untidy,life is.” This is the essence of allDeightpn’s writing.An Expensive Place to Die is asragged as its predecessors. The plotis typically involved, convoluted,and at times inscrutable. The bookrequires more of the reader’s atten¬tion than is usual for a spy novel, but it is by no means a chore. ForDeighton is at very least an artisan.He has a way with words and a pen¬chant for tricky turns of phrase.You can read several pages in totalperplexity—then, suddenly, he pre¬sents the key bit of information andeverything falls neatly into place.For example, the spy (who,throughout five novels, has re¬mained an anonymous. “I”) over¬hears a suspicious conversation be¬tween two shady characters in theback room of a cafe. They are dis¬ backgrounds. This passion for detailworks itself into his writing. Thespy is, to a certain extent, Deighton.They share an interest in history(Deighton is writing a world mili¬tary history) and cooking (for sev¬eral years he has written and illus¬trated a popular cooking feature forthe London Observer.) Like his fic¬tional agent the author is, intellect¬ually if not socially, his own man.Ipcress File and Funeral in Ber¬lin were excellent books. BillionDollar Brain fell somewhat short ofcussing cut-throat tactics in stockmanipulation involving vast sums ofmoney. Two chapters later, becauseof a carefully dropped phrase, yourealize with a start that the menwere playing Monopoly; the narra¬tor knew this, but he just never gotaround to telling you. The bookabounds in such ironic touches, aswell as witty interchanges betweenthe spy and anyone who crosses hispath.I don’t mean to imply that An Ex¬pensive Place to Die is “cutesy” oranything. It’s just that the authorchooses and weighs his words socarefully, and assembles paragraphafter paragraph with such skill thatit is really enjoyable to read, if onlyfor the mental exercise.Besides being an artisan, Deigh¬ton is also an artist, both literally(he studied painting for a numberof years at some of the best schoolsin England) and literarily. He is astickler for detail, visiting thescenes of his stories, constantlysketching rooms, floorplans, and the mark, because its characterswere much less believable thantheir predecessors. It wasn’t reallybad enough to warrant labelling AnExpensive Place to Die a “come¬back”, but this latest book definite¬ly returns to the quality of the firsttwo that was somehow mislaid inthe third. (The novel immediatelyfollowing Brain and precedingPlace has yet to be released in theU. S. It is called Horse Under Wa¬ter.)The plot, once again, is involved.As it opens, the spy has been livingin Paris (the “Place”) for sixmonths, posing as an undercover re¬porter for a German magazine. Heis ordered to give certain atomic doc¬uments to one M. Datt, who main¬tains a strange house on the out¬skirts of Paris. It is general knowl¬edge that all manner of sexual per¬version is catered to there, and it isrumored that M. Datt numbersamong his clientele the most in¬fluential men of international busi¬ness, science, and politics. Theagent is also instructed to find out as much as he ca« about this sup¬posed den of iniquity.Many people besides our agentare interested in M. Datt’s “clinic”.Among them are some Red Chinesediplomats and one Chief Inspectorof the Surete Nationale named Loi-seau. Loiseau says he wants toclose down the clinic, but pressurefrom high up in his own departmentprevents him from doing so.Then again M. Datt has all of Par¬is believing that his clinic is actual¬ly run by the French government,and this could be true—who cansay? Loiseau might already knowthe answer. Loiseau himself mightbe giving the orders. Are the RedChinese “diplomats” (who are veryinterested in atomic research)guests at the clinic, or are theyhosts? Our hero plays the confus¬ing game of “Who’s Working forWhom (for the time being),” and hedoesn’t have a hand in making itsrules.Deighton once said that hecouldn’t see how anyone would ad¬mit to being from “Special anythingin charge of Terrorism, Revenge,and Extortion.” It is beyond belief.His characters believe in theircauses (or their lack of causes). “Ifeel,” he said, “that all tragedy,which really means all dramaticwriting, should have this elementthat everybody is right in his ownsort of way and it’s the fact that allthese trains coming together andbreaking, that is the thing that’stragic about it. There’s nothingtragic about a villain dying, orabout something being destroyed.”Deighton’s world of espionage isa dreary one. It is inhabited by lit¬tle people—no supermen or super-women here. Agency spies on agen¬cy. The CIA is pitted against theBritish network in the struggle forsecret information. In Ipcress, theagent accidentally kills two agentsfrom American Naval Intelligence.)The agent’s department (under theHome Office) competes and warswith the War Office’s intelligenceagencies and MI-5. With all thiseternal internal strife it is surpris¬ing that the real enemy doesn’t getaway with more than he does.This cold warfare is made morecomplex and confusing by the un¬predictability of the personnel.Agents sometimes strike bargainswith the enemy. Double- and triple¬crosses are common occurrences,quadruple and quintuple ones onlyslightly rarer. It is a dirty, amoralbusiness, but one which has to bedone. The prices one pays for en¬trance into the “union” are high—in suffering, in loss of human re¬spect, and, sometimes, of humanlife. Bond-type glamor is the oneingredient lacking in any Deigh¬ton book. It will not be missed.John MurphyMr. Murphy is a second-year studentmajoring in history at Loyola Univer¬sity.June. 1967 • CHICAGO IITERAYR REVIEW • 3TheVirginalVisionThe Unicorn Girl, by Caroline GlynCoward-McCann. $4.00.Blessed are the pure in heart,among which must be numberedFullie, the heroine and narrator ofCaroline Glyn’s third novel, TheUnicorn Girl. Fullie finds itnecessary to remind her teacher,. .1 am a virgin, the right kind ofvirgin and in the right ways. Therearen’t so many like me nowadays.”Although she is aware of the heart'sdarker portions, Fullie is determin¬ed to struggle against them, and shemanages to win at least a partialvictory. She manages to form a ten¬tative rapprochement between thedemands of the world and the fanta¬sies of her own inner vision—nomean trick.Fullie is thirteen and an unwill¬ing Girl Guide. She is also a “uni¬corn girl,” believing that she is con¬stantly chaperoned by a unicornwhose presence keeps her apartfrom other humans, whose presencekeeps her lonely. There are consola¬tions:Sometimes I’ve thought thatbeing blind wouldn’t matter somuch, because all the most inter¬esting things I’ve seen seemed tobe inside my head as it were, notseen with my eyes at all.Nevertheless, at the beginning ofthe novel she is pulled back towardshumankind after a frighteninglycomplete withdrawal into woodmag-ic fantasy. She decides to go to GirlGuide summer camp to be with oth¬er people despite the fact that she istoo fat to stalk properly, too self-absorbed to follow regulations andtoo sensible to treat Guide campwith appropriate reverence.At camp Fullie is forced to un¬derstand other people, and shelearns to help them and makefriends. Becoming more compassion¬ate, she becomes able to laugh atherself. She retains her special vi¬sion, but she is within the worldnonetheless.Fullie narrates her story with ad¬mirable balance. She is serious —indeed, as she notes, she cares al¬most too much. Yet she does not ob¬scure the edge of her humor. Weare given honest glimpses of thebumbling chaos of summer camp,the tragi comic crises of adoles¬cence, the little absurdities ofeveryday life.4 •CHICAGO LITERARY Presently Miss Hick came in,trying to look maternal and con¬cerned. (But I had overheard thespeech she had just made to therest of the company, a really nastyspeech about discipline and cleanli¬ness.). ..She wasn’t too worriedabout the state of my health. Girlsat school did this the whole time —rushing out of the classroom, chok¬ing, and having to be supported tothe rest room.The style of narration is plain,clear, clean — its reasonablenessadds to the tone of balance thatgenerally restrains a subject easilyswept into hyperbole and sentimen¬tality. Although there are large por¬tions of the book that seem to gonowhere, they pass nicely enoughand with a certain charm, like aim¬lessly watching children at play.Miss Glyn, only nineteen herself, has not written a “great novel,” normade any pretense of doing so — afact itself refreshing. Instead, witha careful eye and good humor, shehas written a fine minor novel.Creating only one real character,Fullie, a strangely believable mix¬ture of pure honesty and pure naiv¬ete, Miss Glyn has examined a sub¬ject almost inherently pretentiousin a market glutted with examina¬tions of youth. She has, however,managed to remain almost as pureas her heroine.Jeff SchnitzerMr. Schnitzer is a fourth-year studentmajoring in American Civilization atBrandeis University.Heartland is a collection of poems by twenty-nine living writers associated with the midwest.Their works reveal different outlooks and arewritten in a variety of styles, ranging from suchtraditional forms as the sonnet to contemporaryexperiments. While some of the writers are verywell-known, others are emerging as importantmembers of a new generation of poets. The editorof Heartland, himself an acclaimed poet andauthor, states in the Introduction: “. . . When'choosing poems for this volume I was interestednot so much in the true midland voice, whateverthat might be, but in the chorus that a structuredvariety of voices forms. Put simply, without anyparticular Aesthetic in mind, I searched for—andfeel that I found in abundance—good poems setin the midwest. I wanted especially to avoid thebuckshot approach, single poems by numerouspoets resulting in chaos. ... Another factor inmy selection was that I wanted the book tohave something like an urban-rural balance, andwith that in mind a few poets were left out simplybecause their work would have tipped that bal¬ance.” He concludes: “The vision of the mid¬west provided by the poems in this book, frag¬mented as it must be in our time, is perhapsimperfect, but it is no mirage. It is of a realplace, and real poets offer it."300 pp. $6 JO HEARTLANDPoets of the MidwestSelected and with Introductionby Lucien StrykROBERT BLY • GWENDOLYN BROOKSPAUL CARROLL • X, X.

TheMacmillan Co. $1.45.This is definitely one book thatshould not be judged by its cover.The cover is revolting, the contentscompelling. The first part is “Viet¬namese Crucible: An Essay on theMeanings of the Cold War” by Og¬lesby and the second is Shaull’s“Revolution: Heritage and Contem¬porary Option.”Oglesby’s extremely readable es¬say is wide-ranging. It covers manyareas of U. S. foreign policy, anddevelops an overview which is firm¬ly grounded in facts and statistics.It is one of the few accounts of Viet¬nam which places that small coun¬try in a larger perspective. One ma¬jor thrust of the essay is its denialthat Vietnam is an accident, a devia¬tion from our normally sane foreignpolicy.Both essays confront the peacemovement in this country, head on.It’s not enough to ask for peace inVietnam, to plead for negotiations;we must go to the root cause of ourinvolvement in that devastatedcountry. For Oglesby the explana¬tion is an historical one, a long rec¬ord of U.S. economic expansion anddomination. Consequently, he be¬lieves, even if we get out of Viet¬nam it will not be long before weintervene in Thailand, Venezuela,Guatemala and any other countrywhich has the arrogance to build anindigenous guerrilla movement tofight for national independence.Oglesby’s first task is to breakthrough the Administration’s rheto¬ric. The superficial justificationsare presented and refuted so thatthe air may be cleared. “We are le¬gally obligated to fight. We are re¬sponding to an emergency from theVietnamese people. Our global rep¬utation is at stake We are resist¬ing an invasion because a) the NLFis the political creature of NorthVietnam, and b) North Vietnamesetroops are fighting in the South. Ifwe fail to contain them here, weshall have to contain them some¬place else.” Oglesby’s reply to eachof these positions is convincing andadequate, but much more could besaid by way of documentation.Oglesby moves on to an analysisof the Cold War and what it meansto play by the rules of the game.Each contestant must accept certainpropositions as given: global war isnot the means to gain one’s objec¬tives; a global truce line must bedrawn. It is through this process ofdemarcating that the contestantsbecome familiar with each otherand begin to communicate their at¬titudes. The pay-off for followingthe rules is that common interests,which latently existed before,(Continued on page eight)0 .;i♦ ♦ ♦Meanwhile, Back at the RanchThe Accidental President, by Rob¬ert Sherrill. Grossman Publishers.$4.95.The winter of Lyndon Johnson’sdiscontent is stretching on into thesummer. Whether it will extend tothe fall of 1968 is anybody’s guess;but Robert Sherrill’s new bookabout him ought to keep leftistmembers of Johnson’s oppositionangry (as if they weren’t already)until then.Sherrill—once a Texas-basedjournalist and now Washington cor¬respondent for The Nation—feelsabout Johnson the way most Texasliberals do: he hates him. About themost charitable thing Sherrill cansay about LBJ is that “the ol’ bov’’is “a fascinatingly rousing bastard.’’A more typical comment: .. theman is not likeable and ... is, infact, treacherous, dishonest,manic aggressive, petty, s p o i 1 ed,and, above all, accidental.”The very chapter titles virtuallyquiver with hostility: “Will the realLyndon Johnson please sit down?”,“The Great What?” and “LyndonUeber Alles.” The journalistic over¬kill is so vast that the reader occa¬sionally finds himself gasping, “MyGod, he can’t be that bad.”Indeed, he often isn’t. For exam¬ple:Every time a reporter disturbsone of his press conferences with aquery about unemployment, John¬son sails off on the wings of eupho¬ria and returns with statistics toprove that unemployment is way,way down—under 4 per cent. Itlooks good. But as a matter of fact,numerous experts in this field, in¬cluding Dr. Charles Killingsworthand Gunnar Myrdal believe thatunemployment in this country hasbeen at the 8 to 9 per cent level foryears. Many people hunt for workfor so long, unsuccessfully, thatthey become discouraged and dropout of the market. They are notcounted by Johnson. Neither doeshe say much about the “underem¬ployed,” just as frustrated althoughbetter fed: the millions who areworking at jobs far below theirabilities. It has been reputably esti¬mated that this group constitutes 25per cent of the labor force.The reference to the two “ex¬perts’’ is pleasing. But, like a lot ofthe book, it is misleading. True,Johnson doesn’t count the “hidden”unemployed. The Bureau of LaborStatistics doesn’t either—in fact, itdidn’t under Presidents Kennedy,Eisenhower or Truman. But (John¬son s) Council of Economic Advisersdoes estimate that there are about amillion of them. And the BLS hasduring LBJ’s incumbency instituteda new figure for “labor force timelost” which—you guessed it—measure^, “underemployment”(which most economists think of"ork-hours lost, by those who can’tput in a full work-week for econom¬ic reasons, but woul4 like to).And if Sherrill sails off on thewings of antagonism and returns"ith inaccuracies on occasion, he also tends to forget about politicalrealities. Politics, alas, is the art ofthe possible. A lot of what Johnsonwants to do just isn’t possible. Thementality of Congress and the stateof public opinion—not LBJ—are of¬ten at fault.For example, Snerrill notes that“after the Mayors of two cities hadtold Congress that they would need$65 billion over the next decade tosave their cities” Johnson told a re¬porter that “the best thing Congresscould do (to attack urban decayimmediately) is pass my teachers’corps legislation.” Sherrill com¬ments:Thousands ot stupefied dope ad¬dicts, alleys and hallways thatserve mainly as depositories forgarbage and through ways for rats,toilets that don’t flush, toilets thatdon’t exist, human and animal ex¬cretion that clog rivers, transit sys¬tems that don’t transit, and feedersystems that don’t feed—1700teachers should be able to fix it.What he forgets is that Johnsonwas having trouble squeezing eventhat much out of Congres s—because, as Sherrill himself implieslater in another context, Johnsonisn’t a “legislative wizard,” particu¬larly when the Congress isn’t inter¬ested in doing what he wants. A keyhousing section in a 1965 bill passed by only 6 votes in the House,and the Administration’s demon¬stration cities program has been inCongressional trouble since it wasfirst proposed. One main obstacle isRep. Joe Evins of Tennessee, thechairman of a House housing sub¬committee. He doesn’t like housingprograms.Realities always modify goals inpolitics. Johnson didn’t defeat theopen-occupancy (fair housing) sec¬tion of the civil rights bill last sum¬mer—it died in a Senate filibusterafter the Administration tried lob¬bying and compromise in the House(which worked) and pressure on Mi¬nority Leader Everett Dirksen inthe Senate (which didn’t). Old Ev had the last word, all right: Openoccupancy is not an idea whose timehas come, as Cicero and GrossePointe demonstrate. And Johnsoncan’t do very much about it—although he did introduce a newopen-occupancy proposal this year,by all odds Headed for a similarfate.But even thougn Sherrill has anenchant for damning the wrongdevil, much of his criticism of John¬son is lethally accurate. For whilepolitics is never very far from “thepossible,” from equivocation andtrickery, Johnson fairly exudes allthree. Artemus Ward once jokedthat “the only way to look at a poli¬tician is down”; we accept that, butsome seem further down than oth¬ers.Here Johnson claims “I have al¬ways opposed the poll tax” (he vot¬ed against measures to ban it atleast twelve times in Congress);there he claims our ambassador inSanto Domingo “was talking to usfrom under a desk while bulletswere going through his windows”(the ambassador said later that hedidn’t take cover under his deskand, in fact, couldn’t even recallany bullets coming into his office).(Continued on page six)i MidwestAuthors,ComeHomeThe attention, action, and excitementin publishing for first authors . . .any authors . . . are right here in Chicagoat the Henry Regnery CompanyWhy put up with the cold, impersonal "softshoe act” so many hopeful authors seem to getfrom the great big publishing houses out East?More and more of them . . . experienced ornew ... are finding a different kind of friendly,up-and-at-'em relationship right in Chicago atone of the best-known, medium-sized pub¬lishers in the business.The Henry Regnery Company is not living inthe past ... it is a vital, active part of today'spublishing world.

A rEducation as Cure*All, or: >!What This Country Needs Is a Qood Five*Cent Synthesis 'Beyond Alienation, by Ernest Beck¬er. Braziller. $5.95.The road to frustration is pavedwith theories in which educationmagically leads to all sorts of socialreforms. While those around themwere molding students to the pattern society demanded, a long, thinthread of visionaries have for centu¬ries thought about ways of reshap¬ing the social mold by the pressureof millions of minds.This is the path down which Er¬nest Becker has bravely and blithe¬ly charged. Does he reach his goalof a curriculum for all educatedmen which would change society?That is doubtful. But hisobservations of the terrain throughwhich he travels are enough tomake the trip worthwhile.Becker, you may remember, isthe instructor in just about every¬thing at Berkeley, much beloved byundergraduates, who was not reap¬pointed to his teaching job in theanthropology department, andcould not “fit in” with any othernormal academic department. (Itwould be pleasant to report that,through some miracle, he won reap¬pointment, but, alas, the guardiansof the neat little departmental pi¬geonholes have denied him a placeto roost. Even the Associated Stu¬dents voted against the idea of pay¬ing his salary themselves.)The kind of general, all-purposebreadth of knowledge which seemsto have made Becker an alien inBerkeley’s tight little departmentsis in abundant evidence in this hisfourth book. His system reaches outto draw the most salient lessonsfrom sociology, psychology, socialpsychology, psychiatry, history, an¬thropology, theology, ontology,even a few fields that don’t reallyexist, like “historical psychology.”It is evident that Becker is notthe usual kind of academic whobites off one teenie-weenie problemand chews it till it’s dry. His prob¬lem is big, and so are his suggestedanswers.His problem is no less than devel¬oping a synthesis of knowledgewhich will serve as the basis for thereconstruction of society. As hepoints out, there have been plentyof attempts at such a synthesis (likeHegel’s), and there have been agood many social reconstructions,like those twentieth-century effortsknown as Communism and Nazism.But so far, there have been no suc¬cessful combinations of these twoenterprises. It is with self-consciouschutzpah, then, that Becker ven¬tures to suggest the foundations onwhich such a marvelous constructcan be built.His search for an organizing prin¬ciple with which to “unify” knowl¬edge leads Becker back to the En¬lightenment, when the French sa¬vants attempted to “make moralitythe subject of science.” As withRousseau and Diderot, so withBecker: man is the center of our knowledge, and the science of manis an “active, ideal-type science.”While Rousseau’s model of man in amythical innocent “state of nature”made it clear that social restrictionshave corrupted man’s goodness, itremained for later sociologists andpsychologists to specify how societycauses alienation.The idea of alienation (Becker’scentral concept), is necessary to re¬mind us of Rousseau’s picture ofthe innately good man. As Beckerdevelops the idea, alienation con¬sists of a separation of men frommeaning, of social constraint on hu¬man freedom. It is not sufficient,however, for we must still providean adequate picture of nature, anda proper idea of the role of a sci¬ence of man. This will set us on thepath to understanding society’s rolein alienation; such understanding,presumably, will lead to the cure.What is really needed, Beckerargues, is a “New Moral View of theWorld.” This, modestly enough, hesets out to provide.Sociology, he says, tells us thatsociety is no more than a big “po¬tlatch,” in which everybody playsroles as in a game, pretending thatpeople’s titles, ranks, and positionsreally mean something. It’s uselessto speculate about a “pure” societyin the state of nature; our valuesand norms shape society, Beckersays, or at least our ideals shouldshape society. But psychiatry teach¬es us, alas, that social blocks res-strict individual freedom, and canlead to mental illness.“I have known poverty,” Johnsonsaid and once showed reporters aruined shanty on his ranch whichhe claimed was his boyhood home.His astonished mother, along forthe ride, said, “Why, Lyndon, youknow we had a nice house over onthe other side of the farm.” In 1965,he confided to a top commentatorfor a national network, “Every¬thing, Joe, that isn’t peace is chick¬en-shit.” (“He’s so gross..,” a mem¬ber of the Democratic NationalCommittee once sighed to me.)Nor does Johnson emerge as at¬tractive in more substantive con¬texts: his McCarthyite pillorying ofthe liberal Leland Olds, a Rooseveltappointee to the Federal PowerCommission whom Truman wantedreappointed; his appalling political Perhaps a bit to his own surprise,Becker finds himself self¬consciously turning toward theologyto provide the answer to man’s di¬lemma. We need maximum self-knowledge, maximum social inte¬gration, but without the possibilitythat one group’s integration willbring harm to others. We need anontology which will enable us tointegrate our “life force” with na¬ture. An abstract God, we are told,can provide the highest ground formeaning, which will be the criticalperspective by which we can judgewhether we have really found a“good” integration of life with na¬ture.Taking Paul Tillich’s SystematicTheology as his model, Becker con¬cludes that such a vision of theideal enlightens our path toward so¬cial reconstruction:Pragmatism . . . told us what t)he“real” was—that the “real” wasthe world as integrated in the per¬spective of the striving organism.But we had to know what makesone “real” more real than another.. . This other half of the answerwas provided by the perspective oftheonomy . . . Theonomy crownspragmatism by pointing to thesource of life as the ideal of free¬dom and the measure of value.An explanation of why man is al¬ienated, and a New Moral View ofthe World to show him the way outof his dilemma through social re¬construction—what more could any¬one want? All that is left is to put itinto practice, through education.Education—there it is again, theanswer to what ails you. Becker’scurriculum would consist of an “an-dealings in Texas; his record onVietnam.Thus while Sherrill’s book suffersfrom acute glaucoma it nonethelessoffers some powerful insights intoperhaps the most disliked presidentin our history. Other accounts ofJohnson, such as Evans and Novak’sThe Exercise of Power, have muchmore detail and political sophistica¬tion. But they do not have the quali¬ty of moral outrage which is Sher¬rill’s alone.“I am the only President youhave,” LBJ told visitors after theassassination. In some ways, Sher¬rill’s book is the only book of itskind that we have. Its subjectshould consider himself fortunate.Mark R. KiilingsworthMr. Kiilingsworth is a fourth-year stu¬dent majoring in economics at the Uni¬versity of Michigan. thropodicy”—an explanation of theevil in the world that is caused byman-made arrangements, and howthese can be changed. It would cov¬er the individual aspects of aliena- **tion, through psychology, social psy¬chology, and the rest of the list. Itwould move on to the social and his- Atorical dimension, including some¬thing called “historical psycholo-gy,” or how men search for mean-ings, and how “social stupidity”arises. Finally, advanced studentswould move on to the theologicalaspects.Does Becker’s scheme constitutean “education,” sufficient for all ,college students’ needs? Probablynot. It is, and always will be, diffi¬cult to fit everybody into any sort ofpreshaped curriculum, no matterhow “free.”What Becker does provide is achallenging suggestion for a signifi¬cant portion of the college student'scurriculum, which could be pro¬foundly meaningful to many students. It leaves out, however, vastterritories of learning which mustalso contribute to any “educated” jman’s outlook—the great tracts ofliterature and the arts, and the nat- 1ural sciences. Becker does not evenconsider these, though he doesbriefly mention that they are “be¬yond his field of competence.”Does Becker’s scheme provide anadequate vehicle for “social recon¬struction” as he started out to do0Surely, it is ambitious; we must notknock him for failing in a big way. IWe must be permitted some doubts,however. Becker sees the solutionas the formation of a new “myth”which will integrate men in a newmoral society in which all men arefree and have found meaning. Buthow is this “myth” to be translatedinto concrete changes in social insti¬tutions? How are the new sets ofvalues and norms which will pre¬sumably arise from the Becker cur¬riculum to be expressed in means ofproduction or patterns of interac¬tion between people or methods ofgoverning people? These questionsBecker does not seem to raise,much less answer. The end of Beck¬er’s quest is still off in the distance;but the territory through which hehas traveled is exciting. Can the fi¬nal goal ever be attained? Whoknows? But why not try?David L.

New Di¬rections. $7.50 and $2.35. Celine'sVision, by Erika Ostrowski. NewYork University Press. $7.95 and$2.25.Death on the Installment Plan issimply magnificent. Despite thenecessarily approximate translationof Celine’s dense, esoteric slang, thenovel can still be appreciated byEnglish-speaking readers. It is pos¬sible to understand the rapid worldof Ferdinand (the narrating protag¬onist) as it defines itself: evil, ines¬capable and violently human. Ferdi¬nand believes it because he must;he hates in self-protection, refract¬ing pain, conscious that he too mustinjure, which makes him suffer.Suffering is perhaps the most im¬portant “romantic” element in thenovel.A revival of criticism on Celinefollowed his death in 1961. Miss Os-trowski’s study, one of the latest, as¬pires to be an interpretation of Ce¬line’s “vision of man’s position inthe universe”—a lofty intention.She takes Death on the InstallmentPlan, which appeared in 1936, asonly one moment in his literary sys¬tem, a “black” moment: a “night”vision, frightening and ugly.Rut panoramic approaches havetheir shortcomings. Since “the glim¬mer of even the most furtive beautyor warmth, the small ‘recess of ten¬derness’ which could still be uncov¬ered here and there in Voyage aubout de la nuit and Mort a Credit,are totally eliminated in the lastmain works,” she systematically ig¬nores them. According to her,Death on the Installment Plan endswith the end of childhood which, inher eyes, is utter d e f e a t—Ferdinand wants to leave, tiredand crushed.But we cannot understand thisdefeat without also taking into ac¬count the avowed guilt and theneed for confession that qualifieshis agony. Ferdinand cannot bearhis vision. His despair is not merelya renunciation of the world but acontinuous struggle to remain inno¬cent. The “vision” of reality is dis¬covered, not just passively accept¬ed. And it terrifies. An analysis ofFerdinand’s world must include theromanticism of his character, hisdisillusion and his agonized human¬ism.The book starts off withdeath—the death of a concierge, aeharacter otherwise inconsequentialbut conspicuously lovable. The briefaccount of her end is delicate, if bit*ter: the old woman dies in Ferdi¬nand’s arms, no friends left(ever) . . .The little passage is per¬haps a “prelude”. It will be forgot¬ten. But the grief of surviving andthat terrific loneliness will recur. In the beginning, Ferdinand-the-d o c t o r-and-poet defines himselfhumbly. He sketches cursorily theapparently despicable yet so pitifulworld. But no wrath, no revolt. Fer¬dinand is resigned to examining hy¬pochondriacs and writing storiesand legends. One of them he tells toa consistently slumbering colleague:the legend of Gwendor the Magnifi¬cent. Gwendor’s swan song, at hisdeath, is the book’s summary: “Be¬hold these poor corpses! ... Aneternity of silence will not softenmy lot.” This is the horror at theworld that cannot, will not besaved. There is too much death.Gwendor is told that “all kingdomsend in a dream . . .” Ironically,Gwendor has a beautiful dream ofhis elegant childhood before hedies.A few pages later, Ferdinand,now ill, has his own “dream,” a gro¬tesque nightmare about the begin¬ning of his own life. This is a differ¬ent dream indeed from that ofGwendor, but is still a dream, re¬membered by the decaying protag¬onist who is psychologically andphysically ready to die. Ferdinandtraverses his infernal “cantos” with¬out rhyme but with plenty of hell! The cave of his birthplace is putrid.It will become increasingly so asFerdinand acts out his life. Butthere is no “evolution”—the visionis consistent throughout the novel.It will simply be less and less possi¬ble to tolerate it; but there are noradical changes in mood, or in pointof view.How is the vision kept “consis¬tent” throughout the novel? In tech¬nique, to begin with. Reality is re¬ceived in lightning-flash segments.It cumulates, in clusters, like rapidimages in early movies, at times soexaggerated as to be comic. Celinekeeps ideas pretty much the sametoo: women are variously but decid¬edly sensual, even when grotesque;the men are incapable of commiser¬ation, even when well-meaning.And all are marked with the stampof physical and/or spiritual pover¬ty.However, it is where Ferdinanddeparts from the “consistency” ofhis narrative, where he acts or per¬ceives in an unusual manner, thathe is (paradoxically) most himself.For instance, he is in love once—only once. Yet he avoids her, afraidto approach beauty! Here, as else¬where, Ferdinand is stubbornly non-aggressive, unable to accept theworld without pain, to face it withstrength. Finally, he can no longersuffer. At the end he must take theguilt on himself, wishing to embodydeath: he will be a soldier—will killor be killed. This seems the onlyconceivable alternative to suffer¬ing. But Ferdinand does not by thisact reach out for reality. He letshimself be engulfed by it. He is ov¬erwhelmed as the knight of his Le¬gend, by all the pain and death.This ugly reality is mostly otherpeople. Many of the fumbling char¬acters around Ferdinand conscien¬tiously if unconsciously disillusion,hurt and misunderstand him. Someare as diligently anti-romantic asthey can be: Courtial with his hilar¬ious mock-idealistic science pro¬jects, the pitifully wounded Cle-mence (an “inversed” mother-image), the perverse comrades, andmany others. Some, like UncleEdouarde, are kind but weak. Fer¬dinand is initially alone, and be¬comes more so.So Ferdinand is a sufferer. Yethe is an artist too. It is true thatCeline is using obscene and collo¬quial language to describe the trag¬edies of an abject, abysmal world,with appropriate realism. Unques¬tionably, Ferdinand is compulsivelyperceptive to the grotesque, and isdelighted by it; but descriptionssuch as that of his fantastic halluci¬nations about the gigantic LadyCustomer, sweeping with gerundsand accumulating images, is a kindof mad poetry that soars beyond allrealism.Certainly, there is no point instretching too far the “romanti¬cism” of his violent novel. The paindescribed is a frightfully ahuman,degrading misery. Death is “on theinstallment plan,” a systematic, per¬iodic murder of the individual byfilth, poverty, degradation; the debtis paid to reality. But Celine’s is notan exclusively black vision. Ferdin-nand-the-doctor writes: “Thingsseem pretty crummy, but if theycould carry us away with them,we’d die of poetry.”Miss Ostrowski’s study, if not me¬ticulous, is helpful. Her observa¬tions are perceptive; besides, shedoes attempt to unify Celine’s workas systematically as possible. Butshe might have paid more attentionto the hero as hero, “fumbling withlife” in spite of it—yet less outof weakness than horror, and with alatent reverence for beauty.Juliana GeranMiss Geran is a second-year studentmajoring in philosophy at the Univer¬sity of Chicago.»une, 1967 •CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • 7The Global Screw(Continued from page four)emerge to pave the way for a pro¬ductive detente. Obviously theAmerica n-Soviet relationship ismeant to be a case in point.The problem is China, which is atthe same time refusing to obey therules and attempting to become aglobal power. We have no alterna¬tive but to force her to play thegame—hence Vietnam. Undersec¬retary of State George Ball left nodoubt when he said in a major poli¬cy speech:A focus of the (East-West) strugglehas shifted recently from Europeto Asia because the Soviet Union,having grown powerful, has be¬gun to have a stake in the statusquo. The purpose of the forcefulcontainment of Communist Chinais to induce a similar change inits outlook . . . This is the issuein Viet-Nam. This is what we arefighting for. This is why we arethere.There are reasons why we contin¬ue to be the protagonist in the ColdWar, and Oglesby’s explanationpoints to our need for economicmarkets:“The Free World is the worldeconomic area in which the Ameri¬can businessman enjoys greatestfreedom of commercial maneuver.Simply add to this the observationthat America is the leader of theFree World and one has graspedthe essentials of America’s FreeWorld Imperialism.” He goes on to give names, places and profits, andshows how the U. S. governmentreinforces corporations’ economichegemony around the world. Thegovernment’s role has best been de¬scribed as welfare imperialism,which includes police-military train¬ing and equipping, USIA propagan¬da, AID and bank loans, civic actionprojects, labor union “advice,” edu¬cational reforms, fiscal and admin¬istrative changes and many otherdevices. The result is that ThirdWorld countries become extremelydependent on our presence, whichnaturally makes it much easier forus to influence and manipulatetheir government’s policy.One example of Oglesby’s re¬search which should be encouragingto those who want to do research ontheir own is the case of the HannaMine Co. in Brazil. This companyhad lost certain concession rightsand Oglesby wanted to show theseries of events which allowed themto regain those rights. Originally,his source was the Brazilian under¬ground press; but when Oglesby’spublisher objected, he was forced toturn to open sources in this coun¬try. The result was a much strongerdocumentation.One of the best sections of theessay is “The Revolted,” which de¬scribes the psychology of the peas¬ant turned guerilla. The Hegelian master-slave relationship becomesmeaningful when the peasant andhis environment are viewed in spe¬cific and concrete situations. Thedilemma of revolutionary violence,which burdens the middle class in¬tellectual to the point of inaction, isfor the peasant unreal. His life issuffused with violence no matterwhat he chooses. Half of his chil¬dren die; those who survive cannotbe fed, clothed or sheltered proper¬ly; disease is widespread; the entirefamily is illiterate—which meansthey are at the mercy of literates.The peasant’s labor belongs to hismaster and not to him: life will beshort. This is violence. For Camus,perhaps, there is a dilemma, but notfor the peasant.Oglesby ends by considering theold American pattern and its newvocabulary:The same imperial plunder con¬tinues, Gargantuan now, justifiedas usual by some combination ofthe three traditional elements oforthodox imperialist ideology:keeping the peace, now called‘Free World responsibility’; con¬quest of the wilderness, now called‘developing the underdeveloped’;and defeating the Heathen (Pagan,Barbarian, Savage), a figure whois now brought up to date andsecularized as the Red Menace —same as the redskin, this Red,except more ferocious, wilder, moreresistant and cunning. The choicefor Americans is not between free¬dom and tyranny, but “betweencontinuing the theft and breakingit off.”Shaull’s essay is important forseveral reasons, but primarily be¬cause the author is a member of the clergy. Also, he has spent manyyears working closely with theCatholic left in Brazil. The growingconcern of isolated clergy over Viet¬nam and problems of the ThirdWorld vis-a-vis the United States isa hopeful sign to be encouraged andunderstood. The middle class willbe a crucial sector of the society toenlist if there is to be any hope ofdeveloping a new foreign policypublic in this country. The churchis one institution which can startthis dialogue within the middleclass. Shaull brings out some newideas on technology which, com¬bined with its resulting alienation,he thinks is creating a search for anew style of life among many of theyounger generation (SNCC workers,student activists, hippies, communi¬ty organizers, New Politics advo¬cates). The membership is small, butcontinually growing. Another inter¬esting issue which Shaull raises isthe paradox between social revolu¬tion and technology. One wouldimagine that these two phenomenacomplement one another, but todaythe revolutionary and the techno¬crat stand bitterly opposed—again,Vietnam.Both essays judge the Americannation to be guilty of crimes againstthe people of the Third World.And both authors are convincedthat political action is the onlymeans to change our history.Jon FrappierMr. Frappier received his B.A. inphilosophy at The University ojMichigan.The best of the publishedand unpublished writings of the doyenof the Chicago School of Criticism> •' <'t.* THE IDEA OF THE HUMANITIESand Other Essays, Critical and Historical"Until one has seen how a man can, without Inconsistency, pursue a mode olcriticism rigorously and even passionately and at the same time Believe that modeto be only one of many valid modes, one cannot really catch what Crane is about,’*says wayne c. booth m his introduction.The new understanding these volumes afford of "what Crane Is about’* ii sureto engender new admiration for R.

It is too soon.. .or too late.I do not come with timelesstruths.My consciousness is not illumi¬nated with ultimate radiances.Nevertheless, in complete compo¬sure, I think it would be good ifcertain things were said.Fanon’s message, hardly a novelone, is that in order to discover hisown identity, his own role in theworld, the Negro must surmounthis drives to be white. In an investi¬gation founded on the best psycho¬logical technique, he explores theconsequences of white domination,both actual, as in his native Marti¬nique, and effective, as in France.While Fanon claims acute delibera¬tion and penetrated study of thesubject, the tone of the book is of¬ten confusingly emotional.The author’s main concern is Ne¬gro white relations and the allegedinferiority of the black man. Forthose who argue that the black is ahuman being of the second orderbecause of real genetic defects or atleast differences* he describes theparticular brand of racism found inhis home town of Antilles. Here thedark-skinned natives have beenspeaking French for so long thatthey consider themselves culturallyas well as politically French. Be¬yond that, they have ceased to viewthemselves as Negroes at all. Thesavage Sengalese soldier, he’s a realblack. An Antillean has “risenabove” his Negro heritage and fan¬cies himself part of the white hier¬archy.Yet the citizens have not lost asense of racial inferiority. Ablack—a Sengalese, says—is stillless than perfect. Whiteness is puri¬ty, it is everything good, accepted,superior. In developing this ideaFanon examines the relationshipbetween a Negro woman and awhite man, and conversely, betweena white woman and a Negro man.He maintains that both types are of¬ten manifestations of the Negro’sdesire to achieve superiority overhis own. He is cleansing himself ofhis blackness and entering thewhite domain. On the other hand,the white sees himself as traitorousand his situation degrading.By means of various psycholog¬ical tricks, Fanon demonstrates thealmost imperceptible but ever¬present prejudice of white people,and shows how this prejudice istransferred to the blacks.Over three or four years I ques¬tioned some 500 members of thewhite race—French, German, Eng¬lish, Italian. I took advantage of acertain air of trust, of relaxation;in each instance I waited until mysubject no longer hesitated to talkto me quite openly—that is, until hewas sure that he would not offendme. Or else, in the midst of asso-eiational tests, I inserted the wordN«ar© among some twenty others.Almost 60 per cent of the repliestook this form:Negra brought forth biology, pen¬is, strong, athletic, potent, boxer,Joe Louis, Jesse Owens, Sengalesetroops, savage, animal, devil, sin.I underlying assumptions im¬ plied in a remark such as “My Ne¬gro friend has a university degree”are far more significant than the ac¬tual statement. And it is in this en¬vironment that the Negro himself issocialized. For him the easiest es¬cape is to become white. But what¬ever his personal plan of action,whether conscious or unconscious,his blackness is always outstandingin his relations with his white fel¬lows. He is not allowed to whiteneven his soul.The history of the Negro is of lit¬tle consequence to Fanon. Diggingup the past does nothing to mold oradvance the social revolution occur¬ring now. Moreover, he states thatNegroes’ history will never be of im¬portance if they continue in thispattern of “whitening” themselves.It is imperative for Negroes tosearch out their real identity andreject the white man’s ill-fittingcomparisons.To assert himself the Negro mustbe a true revolutionary. He must al¬ienate himself from middle-class so¬ciety, which has become “rigidifiedin predetermined forms, forbiddingall evolution, all gains, all progress,all discovery” and in which “ideasand men are corrupt.” Only whenhe is free from all-pervading whiteprejudice can he accurately per¬ceive the meaning of his existence.One of the problems of Fanon’s style in Black Skin, White Masks isthat, contrary to his promise in theopening lines of the introduction,he fails to deliver his arguments “incomplete composure.” While hedoes avoid the sheer pedantry thatcould come from a psychologist giv¬ing a scientific explanation of socialphenomena, his long stream-of-consciousness monologues be¬speak more “soul” than sociology.One expects, even looks forward topassages like “As we have seen, onexamination Jean Veneuse displaysthe structure of an abandonment-neurotic of the negative-aggressivetype.” Psychology is the man’s busi¬ness, and what is jargon to some, isto others technical language that in¬dicates a diagnosis and implies acure. iThe final passages of the booksay as much about the author as hisideas, and perhaps give some indi¬cation of the true spirit in whichthe work was offered:Superiority?

S. Crane. 2 volumes.University of Chicago Press.$15.00.The school of criticism associatedfor the past thirty or forty yearswith the University of Chicago hasbeen variously known as the Neo-Aristotelians, the Critical Pluralistsor, more simply and nastily, as“that Chicago bunch.” They includeestablished theorists and practicalcritics like Wayne C. Booth andElder Olson, as well as such risingscholars as Robert Marsh and Shel¬don Sacks. Their ideas are anathe¬ma on many a campus, while theyhold the hegemony on their own.Behind this group stands its intel¬lectual father, a man who in hiseighty-fourth year is still a potentforce in the field of letters: RonaldSalmon Crane.Crane’s most seminal theoretical1 work has already been published inThe Languages of Criticism and theStructure of Poetry and in a few ofthe essays in Critics and Criticism:Ancient and Modern. The presentvolumes, a collection of essays, lec-j tures and letters to former students| spanning three decades, is not a; re-statement of Crane’s theories butrather an application of them. I do! not mean “application” in the strictj sense: the book is not simply a com-| pendium of practical criticism uti¬lizing his theories (though the sec¬ond volume contains a bit of thistype of work). The Idea of the Hu¬manities presents a vision, necessar¬ily seen from the vantage point ofCrane’s particular critical stance, ofwhat humanistic scholarship is andought to be, and of how thestrengths peculiar to humane let¬ters can best be exploited.Before looking at The Idea of theHumanities itself, it might be wellto take a glance at the rudiments ofCrane’s theory. The two non-pejorative ways of referring to hisschool provide the basic clues.Crane is, in the first place, a “criti¬cal pluralist,” which means nothingmore or less than this: he supposesthat if two critics ask two differentquestions about a book, they willcome up with two differentanswers. Further, that if both havedone their work intelligently anddisinterestedly, both answers willbe right. This implies that there isno one correct way of explaining awork, and that anyone who woulddogmatically assert that he hasfound the key to (say) Joyce’s Ulys¬ses is a fool.In the second place, Crane is aNeo-Aristotelian, and preciselywhat this means is harder to say, ifonly because he and his colleagueshave expressed themselves in suchtechnical language. But to cram theideas rather sloppily into a nutshell,we start with the notion that everywork of literature moves its readersin a very special way, differentfrom all others. The work, then, hassomething about it, a power, force,dynamis, whatever one calls it, thatproduces this special effect. Now this power or dynamis is not simplythe language, nor the plot, nor themanner in which the above are pre¬sented to the reader, but an artisticsynthesis of all of these. Crane andhis followers have in general askedthe following sorts of questions:“What is the special power of thework I am reading” and “Howdoes each element in the work func¬tion in producing this power?” Thisis Crane’s favorite type of inquiryand, pluralist that he is, he leavesquestions like “What would Freudhave said about the author?” and“What is the relationship of thisbook to primitive fertility ritual?”to those interested in answeringthem.It is not easy to show in a briefspace just how adept Crane is atanswering the questions he is inter¬ested in—his style, though not pol¬ished and graceful, is concise andpointed, and one never feels that,summarizing him, one has done himjustice. Let me take up, neverthe¬less, one of Crane’s essays in practi¬cal criticism from The Idea of theHumanities, a letter to a friend ofhis on Hemingway’s “The Killers.”In Understanding Fiction, Brooksand Warren make “The Killers” outto be a study of a stage in Nick Ad¬ams’ adolescence—partly becauseNick is the subject of so many ofHemingway’s fine short stories,partly because the story is toldfrom Nick’s point of view. Crane vi¬olently differs with the authors ofUnderstanding Fiction:the view I have taken all along ..is that Nick and his friends, andwhat they are made to do and sayfrom first to last, are in “The Kill¬ers” primarily as not “of the es¬sence” but “of the form.” They be¬long to the “subject” of the storynot directly but indirectly; they be¬long intimately to the “treatment”as devices of disclosure and com¬mentary which enable Hemingwayto bring his essential “subject” be¬fore us with a maximum of concen¬tration and dramatic liveliness anda minimum of ambiguity as to itsdesired emotional effect.Crane’s idea is that the “subject”of “The Killers” is exactly what youwould think it was if you tried todescribe “what happened”: asCrane himself puts it, “the killersare bent on murdering Ole, Ole willdo nothing to prevent them, theywill therefore succeed.” This situa¬tion has its own peculiar emotionalpower, and Nick and the boys arepresent, not to create the power of“The Killers” but to make it moreclear and vivid for us. While Cranenever explicitly states just what thedynamis of the story is (remember,this is just a letter to a friend), it isclear that Hemingway was aimingat shocking the reader, and that allsorts of devices are used to height¬en the shock value—not the sensa¬tionalism—of the initial situation.The situation is, of course, agangster murder. Hemingway addsto the shock of sudden violence,Crane says, by setting his tale in asmall town (rather than Chicago), bymaking the killers themselves socompletely disinterested (they arejust “obliging a friend”), by making the victim a man no one in the littletown thinks badly of, by having OleAndresson—formerly an activeman, a prize-fighter—submit him¬self completely to the fact of beingshot to death. Most of all—and hereis where Crane answers the authorsof Understanding Fiction—he in¬creases the shock by showing usthis situation through the eyes ofNick Adams who, young and ideal¬istic, cannot understand either thekillers or Ole. To Nick (and Georgeand Sam) the situation is simply “toodamned awful.” Nick indeed makesa discovery in this story, butnot, as Brooks and Warren wouldhave it, of “the reality of evil”;Nick learns only that which is pe¬culiar to the special situation de¬picted in “The Killers”—as, in fact,we all do.This summary of Crane’s letteron “The Killers” has not done jus¬tice to this small gem of literary in¬terpretation. What is lost in thebrief paraphrase is Crane’s magnifi¬cent ability to relate both the great¬est facts of the story and its mostinsignificant details to the artisticsynthesis Crane finds in the work.One senses in this letter—as in therest of Crane’s practical criti¬cism—a keen ’ and flexible mindreading a work without prejudice orpreconception, rationally reflectingon its matter and manner, andclearly stating without superfluousrhetoric the essence of what he hadread.There are many alternatives tothe way Crane goes about his work.One of them, of course, is Brooks’and Warren’s—that of the “newcritics” generally. For such men, ac¬cording to Crane, “the essentialstructure of poetic works, as con¬trasted with prose arguments, con¬sists in a hierarchy of proportionsor metaphors, running upward fromlines and stanzas to the poem as awhole.” Crane actually tried this“dialectical” approach to criticismwith, he says, complete success. Itwas easy: “there was no need totrouble myself about biographicalor historical probabilities or to raisethe question whether the same tex¬tual details I had brought into har¬mony with my hypothesis might notadmit of another or simpler expla¬nation. Hypothesis, backed by di¬alectic, was enough.”Not enough for Crane, of course,but not because he couldn’t havebecome a full professor if he hadgone on with these efforts. It wasnot enough because such studiessimply did not accord with his viewof progress in humanistic achieve¬ment. Dialectical studies of poetryalways seek to explain varied phe¬nomena in terms of just a couple of concepts—we may recall WilliamEmpson’s reduction of poetry toambiguity, or Brooks’ paradox andirony—while Crane sees the func¬tion of literature as the celebrationof the individuality of man’s works:The sciences are most successfulwhen they seek to move from thediversity and particularity of theirobservations toward as high a de¬gree of unity, uniformity, simplicity, and necessity as their materialspermit. The humanities, on the oth¬er hand, are most alive when theyreverse this process, and look fordevices of explanation and appre¬ciation that will enable them topreserve as much as possible of thevariety, the uniqueness, the unex¬pectedness, the complexity, the ori¬ginality, that distinguish what menare capable of doing at their bestfrom what they must do. or tendgenerally to do, as biological organisms or members of a commitnity.Despite his contrast of scienceand humanities, I doubt that Cranesees the heirs of Descartes as thereal threat to belles lettres (I daresay he would dismiss the Leavis-Snow “Two Cultures” controversyas a side-issue, a few lumps ofspleen left over from the Huxley-Newman debate a century before).No, if the humanities will not progress as they might in these days, itwill be because the humanists themselves obstruct their own efforts:.. .the internal enemies of the hu¬manities are mainly two in num¬ber. One of these is the spirit ofdogmatism, or rather of sectarianism: the spirit that gives us somany rival schools of linguists,critics, historians, and philosophers, who frequently seem moreintent on exposing each other's er¬rors than on getting ahead withtheir own studies. . . The other ene¬my is . . . what I may call the spirit of reduction: the spirit that de¬nies the essence of the humanitiesby seeking always to direct our attention away from the multiplicityand diversity of human achievements, in their rich concrete aetuality, to some lower or lowest common denominator: the spirit that isever intent on resolving the complex into the simple, the consciousinto the unconscious, the spirit forwhich great philosophic systemsare nothing but the expression ofpersonal opinions or class prejudices, the forms of art nothing buttheir materials or their sources inthe unconscious mind, the acts ofstatesmen nothing but the reflec¬tion of economic forces, the moralvirtues nothing but the mores orthe functioning of the glands.The Idea of the Humanities is ahigh critical achievement, goodenough to meet Crane’s abstractcriteria. The prospective readershould be warned, however; Cranehas a heady taste for abstraction (thebook is hardly “light” criticism). Acertain polemicism also pervadesboth volumes. The controversy be¬tween the Aristotelians and the“new critics” was long and bitter,and the polite invective against thelatter is perhaps too present inCrane’s new book. Especially in theolder essays—written when the Chi¬cago school was just beginning toestablish itself—the sly pokes andhaymakers directed againstBrooks’ boys seem curiously defen¬sive. Now that the Chicago group isa force in its own right, these digsseem pointless, minor blemishesupon Crane’s brilliant criticism.Carolyn TateMrs. Tate is a second-year graduatestudent in the department of Englidtat The University of Chicago.12 • CHICAGO LITERARY R E V I E W • June, 1967The Party MartHeadquarters for all party needsChristmas is overBut people are still drinking Port.

If the latteris the case, then to speak of “pace¬setters” is to be circular andself-justifying. My dismissalmeans that there will be one lesshistorian at a prestige institution(ergo, one less “pacesetter”) at¬tentive to the inarticulate; it willnot make consensus history anymore accurate.IF CONSENSUS VIEWS are nomore dominant at the U of C thanelsewhere, what is peculiar to theU of C is a certain attitude to¬ward dissent, a degree of paro¬chialism rare in our major uni¬versities. In one area: comparethe troglodytic response of thefaculty here last spring to the is¬sue of the rank with facultieselsewhere. No faculty liked sit-ins, but most were readier thanours to accept student interest inthe rank as bona fide. In whatother university with the preten¬sions of this one are so many de-partments dominated by a“line.”? Where else is an instruc¬tor in a staff course told by asenior colleague that his ideas forcurriculum reform are “crepitat¬ ing” and that those ideas consti¬tute “disloyalty” to the course?Here a professor in the law schoolwrote that “certainly” she wouldconsider a faculty member’s urg¬ing students to sit in in the ad¬ministration building as a rele¬vant factor in appointing himHere a senior member of the history department told me that “ofcourse” my renewal would be a“controversial affair in light ofyour participation in the sit-in.'UHere the chairman of the history?department told me. “your con¬victions interfered with yourscholarship.” And here the presi¬dent of the university (together;with the head of the local AAUP)confronts blatant evidence of p<>|;litical discrimination in admis¬sions by threatening punishment?of the man who let the informa ltion out and asserting the right ofthe university to “perpetuate” an“orientation” and a “social mis^.sion"—defined in accord with an,alleged “general value consensuvprevailing in our socie-ty”—“through the choice of tin-succeeding generation of scholars.” It may be that the state ofacademic freedom in Americanuniversities is in fact no higherthan these statements indicateBut elsewhere people do not mak -such statements: a certain degreeof lip service is paid to honoredtraditions of diversity and. as iresult, something like pluralismachieved. Here we are more candid: we not only conduct omselves with total disrespect foi u-ademic freedom—we put it inwriting and boast of it.Jesse Lemisch(Mr. Lemisch ix an assistant pro¬fessor of history.)Blum’s defense of the Day of In¬quiry rally, I am taking this op¬portunity to unburden myself.Mr. Seidman finds “supremelyquestionable” the willingness ofintellectuals to listen to “none toosubtle dissertations on an ex¬tremely complex topic.” Onemust have the proper credentialsto engage Mr. Seidman’s atten¬tion. What are the proper creden¬tials? Yes, it is true that Mr. Alicannot attain the intellectual agil¬ity of a Plato or a Seidman, buthow about the fact that he andothers like him are the ones whoare being called upon to fight thewar? Does that not give him theright to be listened to?While Mr. Seidman sits backand poses with delicacy and re¬finement the complexities of thew'ar in his search for “objectivetruth”, people in Vietnam aredying and people here are beingrecruited to kill them (and bekilled). They don’t have the privi¬lege of calmly deciding whetherwhat they are doing is good andproper or distasteful but neces¬sary.Does the term “intellectual”connote something antithetical toaction? How many must die be¬fore Che signal for action is giv¬en?. If it takes a stupid person toact; then praise be to God for stu¬pid people. i t MDAVID VIGODA Velikovsky's 'Evidence’TO THE EDITOR:I w'as staggered by die under¬lying tone of the article in Tues¬day’s Maroon on the learned andperipatetic Dr. I. Velikovsky’slecture tonight, a tone more ap¬propriate to some of the late Ber-narr MaeFadden’s publications ofthe last generation. The infer¬ences Chat we are apparently in¬tended to draw from a sentencelike “No one has been able toprove him wrong; in fact, datafrom satellites and recent re¬search has substantiated hisclaims,” lead one to the most so¬ber reflections on whether theMaroon is able to distinguish evi¬dence from press agentry. P. T.Barnum may have been right butfor a publication which under¬takes to enlighten us on die finaltruths concerning such high mat¬ters as the organization of univer¬sities and Che foreign policy of theUnited States to fall so easily ismost unsettling.D. FULTZTO THE EDITOR:I refer to Michael Seidman’s ar¬ticle deploring the “prostitution”of the “intellectuals” at the Mu¬hammad Ali speech. Actually, thecheers and excitement camemostly from the Champ's ownfolks, not from UC students, whowere cool after die tongue-lashingby the Rev. Bevel. But Muham¬mad Ali is an important, if brute,fact; and the intellectuals weregrateful. I Chink, for Che opportu¬nity to examine his action or wit¬ness, if not argument, at closehand. As one of our old teachersonce said: “How can you under¬stand a book if you don’t knowwhat a gesture means, if youdon't understand life.” WhetherMuhammad Ali is foolish is anopen question. Even if he goes tojail, there are, as he has noted,Muslims in jail.- , % MICHAEL O'CONNORAli’s Credentials; TO THE EDITOR:Ever since last year’s sit-in atthis highly rational university, Ihave read in this paper some ofthe most .confused and unenligh¬tened, statements ever to dis--•-’4 grace my breakfast table.

It consists of fourmovements: 1) Frozen Time, 2)Remembrance of Time, 3) Collapseof Time, and 4) Last Echoes ofTime.The composer writes that thework has “no specific programmat¬ic significance, but the central uni¬fying theme is ‘time,’ includingpsychological and philosophicaltime.” In the third movement, theidea of “collapse” is expressed bya gradual progression from metri¬cally notated music to chance mu¬sic.Fine’s Symphony is in threemovements. The first movement has been described by the compos¬er as a “kind of choreographic ac¬tion in which characters enter, de¬part, and reappear in altered anddifferent groupings—all of theseserving as a background for a lyri¬cal and at times pastoral narra¬tive.” The second movement has ascherzo-like character, and the lastis a “dithyrambic fantasia with aconcluding recessional or epi¬logue.”The May 26 and 27 performanceswill be the third series of concertsof contemporary music to be pre¬sented by the Chicago SymphonyOrchestra at The University of Chi¬cago.

The“bitch-in” resulted from a chargethat Russell Barefield, a graduatestudent working on a stipend forthe speech school, had his jobthreatened by university authori¬ties.One student senator, Doug Behr,claimed that the “bitch-in” was theresult of minority support in thepower movement. Behr said thatmovement members had voted 8-2against making “the Barefield inci¬dent” an issue, but that the twovotes had won out.The bitch-in had repercussions inChicago where the Chicago Tribuneattacked the incident and recom¬mended that the university dismissprotestors who did not uphold the“rules of proper conduct and thestandards of decency and patriot¬ism.”The editorial compared the“bitch-in” with the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley and warnedNorthwestern “not to make themistake of viewing student dissi-dence as some sort of harmlessprank which can be justified andcondoned as a form of ‘academicfreedom’ or an exercise in freespeech.” 'Morris Philipson To Direct UC PressMorris Philipson has beenappointed director of the Uni¬versity of Chicago Press.Philipson joined the Pressas executive editor in September,1966.

They alsoreported more than other majorsthat their grades very closely re¬flected the amount they felt theylearned.HUMANITIES MAJORS showedthe highest attrition rate. They hadthe lowest achievement motivationand rarely associated their gradeswith their true intellectual pro¬gress. Also, Spady said, they hadmore “intellectual curiosity” whenthey first entered the college thanany other group. “But,” he contin¬ued, “this intellectual orientationwas not sustained as strongly asone might have expected.”Being ExaminedSpady’s study is now being exa¬mined by the Committee on Grad¬ing and Dean of UndergraduateStudents, George Playe. The Com-,mittee has just submitted its sec-; UC Undergraduatesond and final report to Dean of theCollege, Wayne C. Booth, and ac¬cording to Chairman David G. Wil¬liams, professor of English, the re¬port utilized some of Spady’s dataThe final recommendations of theCommittee, however, are still con-fidential.Playe told the Maroon that hehad not yet read Spady’s paperthoroughly, but he felt that Spadywas “overgeneralizing from hisdata.” He noted that as far as hecould tell, “Spady included no sta¬tistics on what school students hadreally wanted to go to in the firstplace, which is an important factorin examining drop outs.”DIRECTOR OF STUDENT Hous-ing Edward Turkington also ex-| pressed interest in a part of thereport which said that next to dis-satisfaction with one’s self, dissat.isfaction with the University'shousing situation was the most im¬portant reason for students leavingthe college.le petit soldatthepremiereofa \ „VTonight.
