The ChicagoVOL. 77, NO. 24 CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1968 16 PAGES, 2 SECTIONSIndictmentProtest SetDemonstrations in Chicago and sharp among leaders of the antiother cities across the nation areplanned for today to protest the in¬dictment of five men who al¬legedly encouraged resistance tothe draft.Students for a Democratic So¬ciety announced plans for a noondemonstration at the Federal build¬ing, 219 S. Dearborn, followed bya march to the induction center,615 W. Van Buren, near Franklin.The Student Non-Violent Co¬ordinating Committee, RESIST, anadult group supporting draftresisters, and Chicago Area DraftResisters (CADRE) are also spon¬soring the Chicago protest.The men indicted last Friday bya Federal grand jury in Boston in¬clude Dr. Benjamin Spock, pedia-trician-turned-radicial, and Rev.William Sloane Coffin, chaplain ofYale.Others who face maximum pen¬alties of five years in prison and$10,000 fines are Michael Ferber,a 23-year-old Harvard graduatestudent; Mitchell Goodman,author; and Marcus Raskin, for¬merly an adviser to PresidentKennedy on disarmament, now aco-director of the Institute forPolicy Studies, a private researchgroup in Washington.IndictmentThe indictments said the fivemen “did unlawfully, willfully andknowingly counsel, aid, and abetdiverse Selective Service regis¬trants to unlawfully, knowinglyand willfully neglect, fail, refuse,and evade service in the armedforces of the United States.’’Reaction to the indictments was war and anti-draft movements.At a press conference Monday,Chicago Assistant Professor of So¬ciology Richard Flacks joinedStaughton Lynd, radical historianteaching at Chicago State College,and Sid Lens, Chicago labor lead¬er and co-chairman of the anti¬war Mobilization Committee, indemanding that they, too, be in¬dicted on similar charges.Their statement was part of anation-wide effort by RESIST toobtain 100,000 signatures support¬ing those indicted.End the War“If they are sentenced, we toomust be sentenced. If they areimprisoned, we will take theirplaces and will continue to usewhat means we can to bring thiswar to an end,” the statementread.“We will continue to offer sup¬port, as we have been doing, tothose who refuse to serve in Viet¬nam, to those indicted men, andall others who refuse to be passiveaccomplices in war crimes. Thewar is illegitimate and our actionsare legitimate,” it continued.Other signers included Dr. Mar¬tin Luther King, Jr., and authorsNoam Chomsky, Dwight MacDon¬ald, and Paul Goodman.Other ActionIn addition to the marching inChicago, draft resisters were plan¬ning protests of various sorts inabout a dozen cities. Marches todraft boards were scheduled inBerkeley, Oakland, San Francisco,Los Angeles, Seattle and Portland.Turn to Page 2 SQUEEZE: An aerial view of the south campusStudents Will GoAs Campus GrowsBy JOHN SIEFERTStaff WriterOne hundred and seventy-twostudents will be displaced fromtheir apartments as bulldozers andwrecking cranes start demolishingthe area between 60th and 61st sts.

Written instructions will be is¬sued to security police in the dor¬mitories and a booklet on secur¬ity procedures will be issued tostudents by the Administration hesaid. The University is expected to suggest “safe paths” for stu¬dents to use at night.At a meeting in Wallace HouseTuesday, O’Connell lectured onwhat a girl should do itf a rapistattacks her. He stressed that stu¬ dents should report crimes assoon as possible, since they oftenremain unreported until it is toolate for police to take immediateaction.O’Connell suggested that stu-Chicago to Compete Academically on National TelevisionChicago will send a team tothe College Bowl, a television quizshow, on April 7, assistant Dean ofthe College Karl Bemesderfer hasannounced.College Bowl features two teamsfrom different colleges answering“academic” questions. A modera¬tor asks a question, and the firstperson to answer it either winspoints for his team, and the chanceto win more points on non-competi¬tive questions, or else loses (givesthe “wrong” answer) in whichcase the other team has a chanceto answer.If a team answers a toss-upquestion, it has a chance at bonusquestions, such important ques¬tions are asked as “What man heldthe rank of General of the Ar¬mies,” or “In what piece of sym¬phonic music is Gaudeamus Igiturincorporated.”Chicago had a team on the bowlsix years ago, with only moderate.-uccess. According to then Dean ofStudents Alan Simpson “we wonthe first to show we could do 1 it, and lost the second to show our! contempt for the whole affair.”This year Dean of the CollegeWayne C. Booth continued thattheme by calling the contest “aca¬demically invalid.” Despite the in-| validity, however, there are otherreasons for sending a team, large-I ly monetary. Each time a team1 wins, the school it represents gets£3000 for the scholarship fund; if itloses it wins $1000. No team mayappear more than five consecutivetimes.The members of the team are given free transportation, food, andlodging in New York, as well astheater tickets of their choice thenight before the “game.” There al¬so is some factor of pres¬tige for the schools involved.The major problem seems to bethe selection of the team. Bemes-1 derfer was in doubt originally as to: how the team should be picked: At| one point he suggested a kind of; trial by ordeal. The contestantswould be locked in a room andwould not be let out until therewere only four left. More than likely it will be an elimination con¬test with Bemesderfer asking shortquestions similar to those above.The program is broadcast na¬tionally on Sunday afternoons onNBC stations, students interestedin participating should contact Mr,Bemesderfer.CCU Backs Racialism ProbeAntiwar Rally HeldTo Back IndictedContinued from Page 1In Boston, the father of a drafteeplanned to go to the induction cen¬ter handcuffed to his son and re-iuse to allow his son to be turnedover to draft officials.Women Strike for Peace alsoplanned a demonstration in Wash¬ington next Monday, the day Con¬gress reconvenes.Staughton Lvnd and severalother anti-draft and anti-warleaders spoke last night at a rallyin support of those indicted, atEpiphany Episcopal Church, Ash¬land and Adams.Call To ResistThe alleged “conspiracy” withwhich those indicted were chargedincluded a meeting at a Bostonchurch last October 16 at whichdraft registrants surrenderedtheir draft cards.

The Conference on the City andthe University is sponsoring a five-field conference on “Radicalism inthe Professions” this Saturday atIda Noyes Hall.The one-day conference willbring together students, facultymembers and professional spokes¬men who engage in or have know¬ledge of radical social and politi¬cal activity within the frameworkof five traditional professions:teaching, science and technology,social work, ministry and medi¬cine.The conference will be kicked offat 10 a.m. with presentations byRennie Davis and Bob Ross, cen¬tering on “priorities in the move¬ment” and the opportunities for“being radical within a profession¬al framework.” Morning seminars,by profession, are scheduled to fol¬low the opening session and willsee Chicago area resource peopleheading the individual conferences.Chicago faculty member EdwardBrown, community organizer Mar¬ilyn Katz and welfare union organ¬ izer Marsha Steinberg are sched¬uled to initiate the seminar on rad¬icalism in social work.Larry Hill, one of three Chicagoclergymen confronting city andfederal officials with a box of re¬turned draft cards on the Decem¬ber 4 stop-the-draft action, will; join Father John Hill, representinga union of Chicago priests, and Ar¬chie Hargraves of the UrbanTraining Center action school inthe seminar on ministry.Heather Bluestone and SylviaFisher will discuss curriculum re¬form and teachers’ unions duringthe workshop on radicalism inteaching. Each has been active inthe respective fields. Chicago fa¬culty members Melvin Rothenbergand Don Villarejo will head discus¬sion groups in the science and tech¬nology field, indicating directionsand possibilities for radical politi¬cal activity within those fields.After a 1 to 2 p.m. lunch break,the five seminar groups will recon¬vene for a joint afternoon forumentitled “What’s Happening in theProfessions.” Anti-War Conference SetThe Student Mobilization Com¬mittee will hold a national studentanti-war conference in Chicagoover the weekend of January 27to 29.Delegates will decide on whetherto call a nation-wide student strikein opposition to the war. This plan,1originally suggested by BettinaAptheker, one of the leaders of the!1965 Free Speech movement atBerkeley, has been gaining supporton campuses across the country.The conference will include adiscussion of spring action againstthe war, including plans for a na¬tional demonstration in Chicagoduring the National DemocraticConvention. dents caught in a tight spot callfor a university policeman todrive them back to the dormitory.“Our aim,” he said, “is to pro¬vide security without turning thedormitories into concentrationcamps.The dean apologized for not in¬forming students about the crimesituation at the end of the fallquarter, explaining that since TheMaroon had ceased publicationbefore examinations no method ofcommunicating with the studentbody was readily available.O’Connell announced that theUniversity would provide freetransportation to court for anystudent who was testifying.

It was objected that this proposalwould be unfair to the College,since College students tend to bemore interested in student affairsthan do grad students.Jerry Lipsch, SG Vice-President,suggested that the committee be aformal recommending committee.SG President Jeffrey Blum saidthat the Page Committee, whichmade its report last spring, hadnot endorsed favor of such an ad¬visory committee. Such a commit¬tee, Blum stated, removes studentseven further from making deci¬sions, since it poses an intermedi¬ary between students and the Deanof Students without giving that in¬termediary any but advisorypowers.Not with ImpunityDean O’Connell stated that sucha formal recommending commit¬tee would be unnecessary. If anadvisory committee makes sugges¬tions to the administration withsufficient solidarity, O’Connell said,then the administration could notgnore their advice “with im¬punity”.Blum said that “a committeethat had formal say might attractmore interest than an advisoryjommittee.” He said, “We recom¬mend a policy committee.” ?■ /jf m4r - *j 'Oft**-# <*r ‘* »■ j,■* ** * */ - * Qgf r *»jf»- j ,'.t\ ,*j||BUT WHAT ABOUT SQUIRRELS?Who is the poet of the Save the Grass Committee?

In some courses the reading list is discussedsolely in terms of its pertinence to the final exam, ratherthan its pertinence to the central concepts of the course.By reducing the prevalence and importance of grades,the college at Chicago can promote consideration of thereal business of education.It is probably true that students are more responsiblethan faculty for the inordinate importance placed ongrades, and this is quite understandable. Yet it is alsostudents who best appreciate the anomaly of such a sys¬tem in an institution supposedly devoted to true intellec¬tual development. For the matter of grades concernsstudents altogether more than it does faculty: it is theywho suffer anxiety over grades; be it is they suffer theconsequences for grades received; and it is they wholose out when the purpose of education becomes theimpressiveness of some sort of performance rather thanthe value of what they have learned.And yet, it is the faculty alone who now make thedecisions over grades.WHAT WILL FACULTY lose when they give up the‘right’ to give grades as they please? They will suffer aninroad into their prerogative to make all decisions con¬cerning the kind of education to be had here. They willlose a means of coercing students to pay attention to themand their courses. And they will have lost an easy, quickmethod of fulfilling their responsibility to criticize astudent’s work.The faculty should not have absolute authority overthe educational matters. It is precisely over such mattersas grades that concern students so much more than fac¬ulty that students should have a measure of authority.Students should not be coerced into study; they shouldbe persuaded. Certainly the vast majority of students atChicago have some devotion to education apart from thepragmatic consideration of career. Furthermore, a com¬parison of the results in unpopular graded courses withexcellent non-graded courses shows that students can becoerced into doing only a minimum of work but will laborvigorously, voluntarily, over what they feel will be valu¬able to them intellectually.FINALLY, GRADES ARE a poor substitute for awritten or spoken evaluation of papers and exams. Infact, an instructor who does not have enough time forsuch an evaluation, does not have enough time to give ameaningful grade. It would be better for him to place arelatively non-commital P on the paper rather than togive a grade he hasn’t the time to justify.The decision whether to be graded should rest withthe student. If he wants a grade to show to his friendsand his graduate school, then let him have it. But heshould also have the option to deal with his professorsas learned friends and helpers rather than omniscienttaskmasters and referees in an often cruel and ultimatelymeaningless game. I really prefer the hand that feeds me.GADFLYBemesderfer Attacks P-N,Defends Present Grade ScaleBy KARL BEMESDERFEREd Birnbaum’s excellent Gad¬fly about grading is marred byhis failure to subject pass-nocredit grading to the same kindof analysis he applies to ABCDFgrading. Most of the things hesays about ABCDF can also besaid about P-N.EXAMPLE: Birnbaum writesthat there is low correlation be¬tween college grades and “adultachievement.” What kind of cor¬relation could we expect be¬tween grades of “P” and adultachievement? Necessarily therewould be NO CORRELATIONAT ALL since all graduates,whether they were successes orfailures in adult life, would havethe same grades; i.e., straightP’s.EXAMPLE: Birnbaum writes,“As a means of communicatingintellectual development to thestudent and his instructor, A-Fgrading is inadequate. ...” AndP-N? Is it not necessarilyEVEN MORE INADEQUATEsince the grade of P conveysthe absolute minimum of infor¬mation?! As Birnbaum nicelyputs it in a rhetorical question:“Can a single letter grade,then, really tell very muchabout a student’s achieve¬ment?” Answer: Not if thesingle letter is P.EXAMPLE: Birnbaum writes,“We have evidence that grading does not provide sufficent moti¬vation to do useful academicwork for all students.” Butagain the question left unaskedis, how does ABCDF comparewith P-N in this regard? SurelyP-N provides LESS motivation,for it contains neither threatnor reward. In fact, I shouldhave thought that defenders ofP-N would focus on this pointas a strong argument for thesystem. Birnbaum does indirect¬ly make the argument when herefers to experiments with P-Fgrading both here and else¬where.THE GENERAL claim is thatgrades should not compel stu¬dents to study what they haveno interest in studying. Put an¬other way, the best educationconsists of the student follow¬ing his interests wherever theymay lead. I happen to think thisis a Romantic fantasy, but it isa well-known position. It alsothrows overboard all efforts atconstructing coherent course se¬quences and degree programs, atrelating general and specializededucation, at conferring degreeswhich stand for mastery of evena small portion of some field ofknowledge—in short, it makesnonsense of the attempt tocreate a college as distinct froman automat.The voluntary scheme of theStudent Government petitiondoesn’t help much. The biggest problem with it is that it dis¬torts the meaning of the conven¬tional grades. They are no long¬er a comparison of all studentstaking the course. Rather theyare a comparison of all stuentswho elect to be graded, surelyan unrepresentative sample.IN SUMMARY, I too believethat the College drives some ofits students too hard and thatsome reform is needed. It neednot be reform of the gradingsystem. Chnages in the curricu¬lum or a change from quartersto semesters, to take but twoexamples, might be more effec¬tive ways to reduce the pres-sur. No change of any kind isfree; you have to give up some¬thing for everything you get.I wonder if the price paid forvoluntary P-N grading as recom¬mended by Student Governmentwould not be excessive.(Editor’s note: Mr. Bemes¬derfer, who received his B.A.here in 1954, is Assistant Deanof the College.)The Uiieago MaroonFounded in 1892.

In 1960,on a Merit Scholarship, he came tothe University of Chicago, where he quick¬ly took up the guitar and met a fellow stu¬dent named Paul Butterfield. Elvin waswith Butter when he formed his first bandto play at University twist parties, and hasbeen ever since. Since then, the ButterfieldBlues Band has performed at various clubsand concerts throughout the country, andrecorded three albums for Elektra.Recently Elvin has declared his inten¬tion of leaving Butterfield and forming hisown band.This interview was taped aroundThanksgiving during one of Elvin’s fre¬quent visits to Hyde Park.Pig Boy Crabshaw is one of Elvin’s lat¬est and most congenial alter egos.WHY do you want to leave the But¬terfield band?What I want to do is be able to playguitar, violin and harmonica with exqui¬site soul, and sing the same way; and asfar as a group concept goes, be able todo all those different kinds of music-straight blues and shuffles, Latin music,Portuguese things, country music, andthings like that. To get a small group andmake it so it has a spontaneous swim toit. Not with a lot of real rigid arrange¬ments, you know, but with arranged partsserving as handles people can grab. Idon’t want to play so far out that peopledon’t dig it; my mind just doesn’t do that.To have it so that the main thing in themusic is feeling—well, everybody saysthat—to have it so that the personalitiesof the people playing can really comethrough.It has to be a small group. Because it’seasier to be spontaneous that way, and be¬cause I want everybody to play a lot, toplay enough to really be satisfied, youknow, to be happy with, what they’re play¬ing. To not put real tight arrangementson it or insist on sticking to one idiom orstyle, so that peoples’ personalities can bemore easily challenged with the music.Like instead of going through a little tube,you sort of broaden the channel of themusic. By the form, by making the formsnot so constricting, and be getting catswho like to get themselves into the music.This sounds like a continuation ofwhat’s been going on in the Butter¬field band.Yeah. More or less. It could be done alot quicker and more extensively with asmaller group, through.Continued on Page FourCULTURE VULTUREIF VULTURE DOES NOT seemto be its usual, acerbic (if some¬what motheaten) self, the reasonis the old Vulture began one dayinexplicably burning, until final¬ly there was nothing left but afew ashes (giving us some hopethat it will soon re-incarnate it¬self, phoenix-like, as it has donebefore more than once.)

First touse it were the small New York and WestCoast art houses which show foreignfilms. French and Italian sexies becameclassics. Then some second-run housestold the public that American movies wereart. Cahiers du Cinema put out an Englishedition. Newspapers started writing aboutall the universities with film courses.Inevitably, film as Art would influencethe market. Then American producerswould have to decide that film was artafter all, and that Art meant money. Soa “new American cinema” was born. Itwasn’t the cinema of the underground,it was the cinema of Mike Nichols andRichard Lester. The one thing it had incommon with the other “new Americancinema” was an extremely high tolerancefor fraud.Mike Nichols began as the bright youngman of American comedy. Coming out ofthe University of Chicago (a place ofgreat practical creativity), he went on tohelp form the first Second City company.It was a great company. They were funny.Then Mike Nichols joined Elaine May anddid comedy duets. They were very funny.They became big stars. So Mike Nicholsdecided to branch out and direct. He wentright to Broadway and Neil Simon andsome of the biggest money in town. Thensomeone got to him an told him that Si¬mon wasn’t art and that he, as Artist, de¬served something better. So Mike Nicholsdiscovered the movies.Once again Nichols started at the top.He had Virginia Woolf and was ableto buy Catch 22 along the way. VirginiaWoolf had terrible photography, a lot ofartsy “in” jokes (that was MarianneMoore over the mantel), and some awfulart work. But it had that play and it hada cast that could do it. It wasn’t a badmovie.For The Graduate Nichols had pana-vision, color, and a novel by CharlesWebb. He could do anything he wanted.The result is the most dishonest film ofthe year. It is the only film in over ayear which sent me out of the theater be¬fore it was over.To begin with, it isn’t easy to film inPanavision. Panavision permits an imageto be twice or more as wide as it is high.In ihe case of The Graduate the ratio is1 to 2.35. That’s a lot of movie screen. It’sdifficult to do much to fill it, never mindcompose and edit it. Otto Preminger anda handful of others make this screen anintegral part of their work. A few others,like Jack Smight (Harper) and Ken Rus¬sell (Billion Dollar Brain), can use it com¬petently. Mike Nichols belongs to neithergroup.He isn’t competent in film. He has ahuge screen and doesn’t know what to dowith it. So he resorts to Art. He looks atFellini who when he ran out of inspira¬tion, made two hours of special effects,and decides to play games. He puts theright side of the screen in focus and theleft out. He switches the two without theshot. He moves his camera making thefocus deeper and deeper. He doesn’t stop.There isn’t anything new in all this.Hitchcock used the focus change as earlyas 1936 in The Secret Agent. Welles useddeep focus in Citizen Kane. Both werecareful to restrict their effects to pointswhere it had a meaningful artistic pur¬pose. Nichols used effects whenever hehad nothing else to do.For all his fooling around, there isn’t asingle visual joke in the first twenty-fiveminutes of the movie. That is fraud. Todepend on dialogue while jazzing up yourpicture with meaningless visual tricks tomake it appear cinematic is cheating. Itis a tone which pervades the entire film.Nichols wants to be both daring andcommercially safe. The Graduate has lotsof sex. Anne Bancroft comes in nude. This is nothing really new. Nor is it not new notto show any part of her body which onewouldn’t ordinarily see clothed. That’sHollywood, sometimes at its best. ButNichols is an Artist and be doesn’t wantanyone to think he is tied to Hollywood.So he shoots Anne Bancroft’s breasts. Buthis commercial eye edits the film so thatall we see is a flash of flesh. It isn’t nudity.It isn’t teasing. It’s peeping-tomism.There are truly funny lines and actionsin The Graduate. One of the best is DustinHoffman’s response to the question “Isthis your first time?” He bangs his headagainst the wall. Nichols flubs the joke.The cutting is wrong on the line. Dustin’sposition on the screen is wrong. The re¬sult is neither funny nor pitiful. Like themovie itself, it is pathetic.Richard Lester is another risen star. Al¬ though he lives and works in Britain, hisfilms are Arnerican financed. His firstwork was over here but he felt Hollywoodcramped his style and ruined his films sohe went to England. Looking at TheMouse On the Moon (Hollywood) andHard Day’s Night I thought his analysiswas correct. After How I Won The WarI’m not so sure. There is no question thatLester had complete control in the makingof the film. You can’t be this subversivewhile under supervision. He had a cast ofpeople he had worked with before. He wasin England. In short, he was the con¬trolling factor. The result was a dreadfulfilm.The plot of How I Won the War, forthose of you like me who missed it in theoriginal Cockney, is the adventures of agroup of soldiers whose mission is to set up “an advance cricket pitch” behind ene¬my lines. At the same time, Lester runsa sort of sub-plot where we see hissoldiers being killed in actual World WarII battles. Each battle has a color andafter he dies, each soldier walks aroundthe fantasy in the color he was killed in.Meanwhile Lester continues laughing atand being fascinated by the “typical Brit¬ish”, hating war-movies as well as war,killing Churchill, and loving the Beatles.The result is a mess. The film goes offin too many directions.What is worse is that it can’t stay to¬gether even for moments. Lester insistson cutting at jarring intervals. This wasgreat for the Beatles and The Knack, buthere it merely adds to the confusion. It isespecially harmful to Jack McGowen andRoy Kinnear. Both are magnificent com¬ics and both have a theatrical style. It isnot a style suited to the movies and noone, actor or director, seems to have real¬ized this. After the failure of A FunnyThing Happened to Me on the Way to theForum for the same reason one wouldthink that he would have learned. Ap¬parently his intellectual cinematic gamewas too strong for him. Too bad. Thepresence of John Lennon means that thisis the anti-war film with the largest po¬tential audience. If only that audiencecould have sad a film that had somethingclear to say.Jean-Luc Godard, a man nearly alwaysclassified as an intellectual director, oncesaid that he has never used a dissolvesimply because he has never felt it. Les¬ter might make a point of rememberingthis. He has some cinematic instinct andthis is where his work is best. As for MikeNichols, he should go back to duets. Hisinstinct is there.•Suggestion (for those who need it): Bon¬nie and Clyde is still at the Hyde Park.Alphaville is at the Aardvark. See themboth again.T. C. FOXTHEATERA Fine9 Slow DanceBY ANY STANDARD, but most especial¬ly by the professional one, Hull HouseParkway Theater has mounted a reallyfine production of William Hanley’s SlowDance on the Killing Ground.The three-character play concerns aGerman immigrant, Glas, who operates acandy store. Glas has purposely chosen arelatively isolated location for his store,where he both works and lives. In hiswords, “I stay right here and I watch theworld go by and I don’t get in its way.”Into this withdrawn existance burstsRandall, an eighteen-year-old Negro boywith “an I.Q. of 187,” dressed — well,strangely. Most important, however, heis apparently fleeing something or some¬one very terrible, and the tension eman¬ates from his every move. Despite his ef¬forts to bury it behind a demeanor ofbreezy indifference, every so often itbreaks into the open.Randall upsets Glas in more ways thanone. The youth refutes the older man’s in¬tention to avoid the world. He asks a num¬ber of questions about Glas’s past, some¬thing which Glas would rather forget.Yet even as Glas tries to rid himself ofthis disruptive factor in his life fail, hefinds himself becoming intrigued by thisboy. What was at first active antagonismbetween the two, gradually evolves into asort of “peaceful co-existance.” At thisjuncture enters Rosie. Rosie is lost — not only this evening,when she was trying to find the house ofher abortionist, but in her life where sheis trying to find some niche for herself,some “style” she can adopt. Her role inthe triangle which she now forms essenti¬ally continues this disorientation. Much ofthe dialogue between the two men is in¬comprehensible to her. Yet in her attemptsto cover the gaps of her under¬standing, she acts as a catalyst for thetwo men. She forces each of them momen¬tarily to become involved in the life of theother, before each realizes finally that suchinvolvement is hopeless, and that eachmust find his way alone. Says Glas, “Wechoose the dark streets up which wewalk.”Bob Curry was excellent as Randall.The role is by far the flashiest, the mostmagnetic of the three, and Mr. Curry real¬ly made it come alive. He managed tomaintain exactly the right amount of ten¬sion while undergoing the more superfi¬cial shifts of character and inflection de¬manded by the part. His monologues, ofwhich there are several, could have slowedthe tempo of the play considerably; butthere was not a dull moment to be foundin any of them.Vicki Childers did an extremely compe-tant job in the role of Rosie. It would havebeen possible, between two such powerfulpersonalities as Glas and Randall, for this part to become an annoying distraction.Instead, Miss Childers caused Rosie to1 as¬sert herself in the action, and even at hermost strident, “What’s going on here?!”,Rcsie was a believable person.I have mixed feelings about Jerrold Zi-man’s performance as Glas, the most dif¬ficult role of the three. Mr. Ziman’s char¬acter, I felt, fell short in one importantrespect: He failed to offer a worthy antag¬onist for Randall. Instead of two mensparring for one another’s weaknesses oreven confronting one another on a relative¬ly equal footing, Randall appears to talk,think, and move in circles around Glas.Little respect was generated for the char¬acter, with the result that his “confession”in the second act seems an unwanted in¬terruption of the action and his demandfor a similar confession from Randall car¬ried no weight.Still, this Glas has an animal vitality,albeit tortured by the knowledge of hispast, which makes him an undeniableforceful presence. One can feel the painwith which his existence colored both mer-tally and physically. His every movement,his every speech seems to necessitate atremendous summoning of will. When hefinally manages to pour out his story, ifnot respect, one at least may feel somesympathy.STEPHEN GOODMANJanuary 12, 1968 WEEKEND MAGAZINE 3Elvin BishopContinued from Page OneDoes the audience react differentlyto the band now that it’s changed somuch?People have always had a wierd re¬sponse to us, you know. People were dig¬ging us for some private reasons they had,which wasn’t what we'd intended at all.Because they think we play good folk-rock,or ’cause they think we play good straightblues, or ’cause we play good city blues,or ’cause we play good rock and roll.We’re just a group of good musicians.People have to listen to the music howeverthey can. Most of them are conditioned tohear things in categories and shit, youknow.Things are opening up a lot. It’s reallya groove, you know, to see that CharlesLloyd has so much popular acceptanceand to see Roland Kirk, and to see usgetting away with so much experimentalmusic now. I mean very experimental bytoday’s pop standards. Or maybe it’s yes¬terday’s pop standards, I hope.I want to make music that really drawspeople to me. It’s like, people will stopand listen and give you the benefit of thedoubt if your personality really reachesout, if they can feel it. It’s like RolandKirk, you know, he’s got a lot of that.It’s not exactly the same thing as charis¬ma,, you know, but it’s just sort of anobvious force in his music. What were we talking about beforethatThe spiritual you wrote.Oh. That was an example. . .Like, I’llbe drawing things from country music andspirituals and stuff, but won’t feel obli¬gated to stay in the idiom in any specialway, you know, because I want to makeit as expressive of me as I can. The moreexpressive of yourself a thing is, the moreit’s honest, man. That’s my main criterion:if a person sounds sincere in what he’ssaying, you know, if you believe in whatyou’re saying, it’s a lot easier to put morefeeling into it. And using a traditional formthere, well, it’s okay to use a straightdown spiritual thing ’cause it just adds tothe irony of the thing, ’cause I’m sayingthe opposite of what spirituals say. Exceptthat’s a groove. (Chuckle.)But. See, all these things that I want todo, you know, that’s the main reason whyI’m leaving the band. My ability to dothem is sort of around the corner some¬where. And it’s really gonna take a lotof work, man, to get my voice in shape,’cause it sounds terrible now, you know;to get my guitar playing closer to whereI would like it to be; and to get the violindown, and stuff like that. It’s just a lotof practical hard work. I’m buying a pairof overalls to practice in to remind me ofthat.Is there any difference betweenElvin Bishop and Pig Boy Crabshaw?Crabshaw is like. . .Crabshaw’s a groovycat, man. He’s sort of the buffoon side.Do you find that a necessary balancething that you have to do? The balance is like you were telling meabout your teacher’s response to your pa¬per the other day—it’s a good thing tohave a sense of humor about yourself. Itkeeps thing in perspective. It keeps thingsfrom getting solemn and shit, from reallygoing overboard, in an way. I’ve got itsort of half working.What made you start playing guitar?Well, I guess I felt a pretty strong needto express myself somehow and most ofthe conventional. . .1 mean, I just wasn’tfitting into things too good up till the timeI started playing my guitar. I mean, Iknew there was something wrong, but, uh,I didn’t know what it was. I mean, likethe place I was living—Tulsa. . .1 mean,I didn’t understand what was wrong withit, and about half the time I would feelthere was something wrong with me fornot fitting into all the pep rallies and shit.You know, all that kind of stuff.The style I play in? Well, I guess it’ssort of like the sum of my influences pluswhatever of my own stuff I’m beginningto get together. It’s like, I’m not really ablues purist, you know. I don’t think of my¬self as primarily a blues musician al¬though most of what I play is blues, real¬istically speaking, ’cause that’s what I’veplayed, you know, worked on mostly. Youcan play what you practice, you know.Says (Gene) Dinwittie (the bands tenorsaxophone player).The thing is, I just like blues for thesame reason I like certain things in coun¬try music and Louis Jordan, certain spir¬ituals, Indian music, things like that. It’sbecause it’s got a lot of feeling and itsounds. . .it’s honest, you know. Is there anyone around today whomakes dishonest music?There are all kinds of people who arefitting themselves to a form rather thanfitting the music to themselves. That maynot be dishonest, but I don’t hink it’s theright thing to do.That’s funny, ‘cause what you talkabout is the guys in the band gettingtheir own thing. That was going to bewhat I was going to say about theButterfield band.I’d even like to write musical plays.Phillip Wilson (the band’s drummer) andI were talking about it. Where the musi¬cians can be actors as well as musicians,you know, and they could write their ownparts, or you could write parts to featurea cat’s. . .how he is, you know. Also,there’s another very practical thing aboutwriting your own music besides what I wassaying about how it’s easier to feel it andthings: you can write around yourstrengths and ease up on the weak points.That way you’re not struggling, trying tofit somebody else’s specifications.A lot of people say playing in largebands really helps them, forces themto do things they wouldn’t ordinarilydo.Yeah, that’s true. Yeah, that’s good foryou, man. Anything that makes your tech¬nique better and broadens your concept isgood for you. But, uh, I have my questionsabout what the proportion should be, be¬cause it’s kind of a drag to play tunes youdon’t really dig that much all night, youContinued on Page SevenTAI-CCAM-YMiCHINESE - AMERICANRESTAURANTSpecializing inCANTONESE ANDAMERICAN DISHESOPEN DAILY11 A M.

Gary Davis, earlyDylan may write the most authentic, eth¬nic American music around, but I can dowithout the gravelly, hoarse, ethnicAmerican voice that accompanies theseperformers. I want my folk music to beas much music as it is message —morethan great meaning and guitar plucking.And for my money, one of the few remain¬ing practitioners of my type of craft is thetrio of Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, andMary Allin Travers.PP & M are polished and professional;they have a unique, vibrant sound whichseems to take every song they sing andturn it into a masterpiece of music andemotion. Without true “folk” backgrounds,they can somehow sing with all the fervorof a person intensely involved the eventsof the song. They take spirituals, chil¬dren’s songs, folk, rock, ballads, and origi¬nals and produce sound both musicallybeautiful and personally evocative.The trio known as Peter, Paul, andMary is made up of three Americans fromthree very different worlds. Peter Yar¬row, a native of Manhattan, entered Cor¬nell University in 1955 planning to be aphysics major; he had done a bit of paint¬ing and planned a career in design.By the time he graduated in 1959, he hadbecome a psychology major and anticipa¬ted grad school in a few years; mean¬while, he planned to earn money forschool by singing. Within a year, he ap¬peared on the television spectacular“Folk Sound U. S. A.” and finally decidedon music as a career. He was introducedto Paul and Mary and the three first be¬gan singing together late in 1960.Paul Stookey was really the only mem¬ber of the group to have a definite inten¬tion of singing professionally. Born inMaryland, he always knew he had a talentfor entertainment; by his freshman yearat Michigan State, he knew that he couldbe "something more than a casual enter¬tainer.”After three years in school and a longseries of miscellaneous jobs, he finallygravitated to New York and the Village:soon he decided that entertainment was“it.” He performed with many singers in¬cluding Joan Baez; soon he was intro¬duced to Peter and Mary and his comicand bass abilities proved to be a vital facetin the trio’s sound.Mary Allin Travers, the one member ofthe group with a “folk” background, de¬cided early that show business was notfor her. Born in Kentucky, she was raisedand educated in New York City and livedfor a while in Greenwhich.Folk music was very much a part of herlife; she knew Pete Seeger, Sonny Terry,and other greats of the art and becamefamiliar with the music of many countriesthrough her step-father, a director of theWorld Health Organization. When she firstbegan to work with Peter and Paul, shehad no intention of going “professional;”she found a sense of belonging and addedher ringing voice to the magic of thegroup.Since those early days the trio has sur¬vived obscurity, the folk “boom,” the rockera, and has still remained one of themost popular folk groups in the world.They have made many world and nationaltours and have had eight top-selling al¬bums. They’ve even cracked into theranks of “pop” music with such songs as“Blowin’ in the Wind,” “If I Had a Ham¬mer,” “I Dig Rock-and-Roll Music,” andtheir most recent hit, Dylan’s “Too Muchof Nothing.”The concert on December 3 containeda mixture of PP & M’s early and recentsongs. They opened with Dylan’s “When the Ship Comes In,” and swiftly movedinto “Leaving on a Jet Plane” by JohnDenver of the Mitchell Trio. Although Ifound no fault with any of the selections,Paul’s comedy monolog and Peter’s sing-a-long went on a little too long.The second portion of the program, how¬ever, was a full hour of complete enchant¬ment. A highlight of the show was thepopular “Puff,” about which Peter com¬mented: “I must clear up a misconceptionabout this song. This is a children’s songabout dragons. When I write a song aboutpot, I promise I’ll tell you about it.”Before singing “Blowin’ in the Wind”near the end of the evening, Mary askedthe audience to join in: “One of the nicestthings to share besides love is hope. Thisis a song about hope; please sing it withus.” After concluding with “If I Had MyWay,” the audience called them back fortwo additional encores. They finished amagnificent night of singing with theGuthrie classic “This Land is Your Land.”JERRY LAPIDUSPeter and Mary in WashingtonTHE FOLK-SINGING trio Peter, Paul, andMary performed in Chicago on December2 and 3; the concert itself is reviewed else¬where. Maroon staffer Jerry Lapidustalked to the group after their last per¬formance. Here is their conversation:Your biggest recent hit has been theput-on song “I Dig Rock and RollMusic.” What is your real opinionabout what the Beatles, for instance,are doing?Peter Yarrow: I can state categoricallythat all of us are very much interested andvery excited about the direction popularmusic is taking. Popular music is becom¬ing more complicated, mush more com¬plex—it’s not simple and is not for thesimple-minded. . . .1 think we are all verymuch appreciative toward popular music,not just in the sense of giving it its due,but in the sense of really feeling excitedabout it.You met the Beatles; do you thinkthey really understand what they’redoing?Peter: I haven’t seen them since they ac¬quired their present point of view. Theirinitial point of view was very different;they were not addressing themselves tothe kind of things they are presently ad¬dressing themselves. I also think they weremuch younger then; they’ve grown spirit¬ually, they’ve grown emotionally. As far aswhether they understand, I’d say it’s morethan likely that they’re not interested in ananalytical discussion of what they’re talk¬ing about. I think they’re interested in astate of being, a state of attitudes, philoso¬phies, and ideas. A state of being—not the• * , * x t analysis of the state of being, just the stateof being.What is your feeling toward the thingsthat Simon and Garfunkel are saying?Peter: We’re very friendly with them per¬sonally, but it’s less interesting for me tohear music that has similarities to ourown than it is for me to hear music thathas elements that are totally different. Ithink there is too great a similarity be¬tween our types of music for me to feelanything but a comradeship with it. . . Bythe same token, I can say that I prefermusic that is categorically less cerebraland more intuitive. Generally, the morecerebral it is, the less I can get involvedin it.You’ve participated in a number ofrecent “protests.” What do you think,about the effectivness of modem pro¬test?Peter: I don’t know; I’ve begun to ques¬tion the whole protest movement per se,but at the same time it’s the only vehicleavailable in our democracy to try and in¬fluence legislation and political policy. Ithink that although it may be less effec¬tive than we would like to think, I stillhave faith in the democratic process andin the mechanisms of this end of affirma¬tion and protest participation, but I don’tfeel they’re immutable, irrefutable exactlyin the sense I once did. Look at the inte¬gration movement, and you’ll see it’schanged its posture radically. I can’t singthe same songs about the integration move¬ment in the same way I once did; the vio¬lence in the integration movement is un¬derstandable and may even produce re¬sults, but I can’t identify with it, I can’tfeel good about it.What do you think about the March onWashington in October?Peter: I think it was, and I knew it wouldbe .. . very fractured, that it would be un¬popular as a mechanism. . .and that thecivil disobediance would engender a gooddeal of attack on the march itself. But Ifeel that it’s my responsibility as a mem¬ber of a democracy not to attack theUnited States as a whole but to attack apolicy of the United States that I feel isimmoral. . . .1 wish to try to alter it with¬in the accepted democratic forms of regis¬tering my vote, as it were, either as myliteral vote or as my influence via lobby¬ing or something of that nature or by themechanism of the demonstration.Do you feel that participation in thedemonstrations of Peter, Paul andMary as a group had any significance?Peter: I could make an evaluation of this,but I don’t think that’s what made us gothere or not. If you see someone on thestreet being attacked, as a human beingyou feel compelled to do something aboutit, perhaps to call the police or to try tophysically affect the situation by stoppingthe attack. You don’t think about the con¬sequences to yourself or whether you’rethe proper person to say something, youjust do it because that’s the way you’reconstituted. This is the nature of our par¬ticipation in these things. One has to paydeference to the moment; when one seessomething go down that’s ugly, one has totry and change it. That’s the only consid¬eration that’s really valid in that situation.You, then, advocate a policy of in¬volvement. Do you feel that non-in¬volvement is widespread today, thatyou are in a minority?Peter: I feel there are two ways to regis¬ter one’s feeling about a situation. One ofthem is to participate in demonstrations orto be active in a political sense, and anoth¬ er way is simply to live one’s life in afashion that seems moral and good. There’sa place for both kinds of people. I’m notgoing to tell a person how to be good orhow to be moral; I just know a personwho is active pays a price that a personwho is inactive does not pay. It’s not aprice you demand a person pay; peopleshouldn’t come out and do these things be¬cause they feel guilty about not doingthem. They shouldn’t use it as a compen¬sation mechanism for guilt. For instance,there are people who chain themselves toa truck, or throw themselves in front of atruck carrying napalm. They could say tome, “Why don’t you do that? You’re notdoing everything you can.” It’s all a mat¬ter of degree; a person’s stand in thesesituations must come from an inner senseof what’s happening. So in answer to yourquestion, I think it’s difficult to protestand be a political activist. I don’t demandit of other people, but I do feel that whenpeople are involved they’re taking the way.Some people can afford to take the waymore easily than others. . .Remember, amovement, a political movement, is athing of the moment. The song “Bowlingin the Wind” and its place in the integra¬tion movement had only a very limitedperiod of significance of a certain order.Its significance is lost now.What do you feel to be the future offolk music? Obviously we’re past thefolk music boom of a few years ago —what’s next?Paul Stookey: What’s, happening it thateverybody’s becoming aware that folkmusic is all music. I think that the redis¬covery of folk music has ended and thatpeople are just becoming more and moreaware that everything they do is “folkmusic.” If they knit a scarf, it’s folkcraft; they know that they themselves areliving and walking “folk.” Thus popularmusic is folk music, and I think it’s be¬coming aware that it is, so it’s talking inthe folk language, following the traditionof folk music. It’s speaking about what’sgoing on, and therefore it’s become folkmusic.If this is how folk music is going, howthen is Peter, Paul and Mary going?Will you stick fairly close to traditionalfolk music, or will you experiment?Paul: It depends. I don’t think we’ll leavetraditional folk music completely, nor willwe embrace modern music completely. It’svery difficult to lose your roots—you takethem with you and they guide you.Who chose the title for “Album 1700?”(their latest album, the title is theserial number of the record.)Paul: We just sort of knocked out with theidea that the title of the album should bethe same as the number on the side. Itreally was an unfortunate choice; 1700 issuch a dumb number. I wouldn’t haveminded 1639, or 1801, that would have hadsome ring to it. But 1700 feels like it’sa bargain special.(To Mary, who has just come in) Whatis your opinion about so-called “popmusic,” the Beatles and this sort ofmusic? iMary Travers: I love the Beatles, and Ithink they’re marvelous musicians. Somemodern music is brilliant, and some isterrible. I think “Sergeant Pepper. . .” isa great album and that in many ways they(the Beatles) have been the most excitinggroup in the last twenty years in the sensethat one could chart the total musicalgrowth of a group of people. They reallywent from something very primitive andexciting to something also exciting butvery sophisticated.January 12, 1968 WEEKEND MAGAZINE 5For The Convenience And NeedsOf The UniversityRENT A CARDAILY — WEEKLY — MONTHLYRAMBLERS — VALIANTS — MUSTANGS and DATSUNSAs Low As $4.95 per Day(INCLUDES GAS, OIL & INSURANCE)HYDE PARK CAR WASH1330 E. 53rd ST.

I didn’t know the differ¬ence between the two schools.Why do you always come back toHyde Park between gigs?know, and then play three or four tunesyou’re really into.Which tunes that you play now areyou really into?With the band? Oh, I can get into allof them to a certain extent, you know,some of them really in, some of them justa little bit. And it all changes on differentnights.See, that’s the thing about a large band.It’s really a groove and it’s been a verygood experience playing with all these goodmusicians, and having a different rolethan you would with a small group, youmow, with the horn section and everything.But it’s kind of hard to get eight individu¬alistic cats together and really make itbe fulfilling for all of them, you know?Especially when you get cats from suchpretty different backgrounds, musicalbackgrounds.That’s one of the things l like aboutthe group, though.Yeah, 1 do. too.I’ve been on the road for three yearsand that was getting to be a drag, man.And I wanted to do all these other things.Just, you know. I’ve been doing this fora long time. I don’t want to restrict myselfto doing just that, you know.When did you come to Chicago?1960.When did you start playing guitar?1960.I knew about two chords before I cameto Chicago, and I was really interested inblues. As a matter of fact, it was wiggingme out.I didn’t know anything about colleges,man, or anything. I got this scholarship,I could go where I wanted to. So I figuredI’d come to Chicago because I’d heardthat this was a big blues center and every¬thing, you know. I didn’t know what Iwanted to do in college. So I didn’t knowwhether to go to Northwestern or Chicago.It was just a matter of luck that I decided I have a lot of friends here. It’s a goodplace for music, too, you know. It’s closeto a lot of blues activity going on, andthere's a lot of musicians that live here.We can jam all the time. There’s alwaysa lot of nice chicks around Hyde Park.And also, it’s just that my friends arehere, you know. There’s a nice, sort ofunrestrained life style going on; that’s agroove. You can pee in the sink and spiton the floor in Hyde Park and nobody’llscream on you. (Laugh.) You can’t putthat in the interview.That might be the lead paragraph.1 don’t know what to ask you, ‘causeall the questions 1 can think of sort ofanswer themselves, you know. Most ofthose regular old interview questionsdo.I’m tired of giving false impressions ininterviews, you know. ’Cause I’m not reallytoo articulate, apparently. Things comeout the wrong way sometimes, not mean¬ing what I want to. I want* to make agood impression on those chicks at theUniversity. (Aaarrgh!)It seems like all the band talks aboutvhen they’re together and not talking aboutmusic is eating p—y. Do you think a homo¬sexual could be a blues musician?A blues musician? I don’t see why not.Matter of fact. I’ve played with some. Iplayed behind this female impersonator,a snake dancer named Sabu. She was agroove. She pranced around the stage withthese big phallic symbols and shit. Scaredthe shit outa me. f was backed up againstthe wall.1 played at Pepper's a long time ago—go down there on Tuesdays and play inthe talent show and win a glass of whiskeyand shit, sometimes, and there was thississy who used to come down there whohad this hugely malformed leg. She wouldget up there and dance in a short skirtand she sang, she was singing in this realhigh falsetto, and she lost the talent con¬test. She got mad at the chick who wasjudging the contest and went at her with a knife, and her voice switched to a realsurly, gruff baritone, and she started call¬ing her whole sacks full of motherfuckersand shit. It took about four or five catsto subdue her.Was she any good?Yeah, pretty soulful.In Charles Keil’s book ■ on UrbanBlues a lot of people try and definesoul. Do you have any special defini¬tion for it?Well, it’s like when I was explainingabout the quality I dug in singers—sound¬ing sincere. I like to hear people with dig¬nity in their voices too, you know, notpomposity and shit, and not trying tosound like other people.Do you have anyone particular inmind?Sure. Billie Holliday on some of herstuff. Percy Mayfield all the time. He’sgot that groovy blend. He’s got that sensethat things are pretty laughable some¬times. He seems to know about himself,he just comes out and says what he hasto say. It’s just simple, beautiful, andit’s there.1 remember your telling me abouta year ago that for serious listeningyou liked Bob Dylan, but the Beatleswere to relax to. Since hearing Sgt.Pepper have you changed your atti¬tude?I don't know. The Beatles, what they’redoing and everything. I’m sure it’s reallyvalid, but it's just like, they take a dif¬ferent, abstract way of looking at life. Imean. I’m just not into looking at thingsthat way.Dylan, too, has a different way. Thething about Dylan is that I sort of admirehim as a poet, you know. It’s not like Ican really resonate to hold onto his stuff,because I like to communicate, really, withsort of a plain statement, as far as theverbal aspect goes. I like to be as directas possible, you know'. He has a sort ofcloud of images that he uses; that’s agroove. And also, he sort of given to tellingpeople where it’s at. Imparting wisdom tofolks and stuff like that. All I can really, tell is how I feel.

Kimbarkwe sell the best,and fix the rest. foreign cor hospital8 WEEKEND MAGAZINE January 12, 1968Letters to the Editors of The MaroonCopingI’m afraid there are some er¬rors in John Siefert’s article ofthe last issue on the rejection ofthe Vincent House hours, pro¬posal, perhaps due to my failureto make myself clear in the shorttalk I h a d with Mr. Siefert. Forinstance, Vincent did not passthe hours decision unanimously.The argument was rather thatno one felt that his rights wouldbe infringed upon by open hours.However, the main point I wishto make is this: Mr. O’Connelldidn’t reject an autonomy pro¬posal; he rejected an hours pro¬posal. It is this very confusionwhich has led to a loss in mean¬ing of the phrase ‘house autono¬my’ for both faculty and stu¬dents. House autonomy has be¬come synonymous with housefreedom to make hours. This lossof meaning was not a result of theO’Connell decision. House auton¬omy as a principle was degradedto “squables over hours” some¬where early in its history—some¬where between the accomplish¬ments of the Inter-House Councilin dealing with the administra¬tion and the houses’ picking up ofthe whole bundle of newly ac¬quired freedoms.THE ORIGINAL intent of houseautonomy was to allow the houseto actively govern themselves, andto develop creative programs inmany fields, such as workingout systems of rotating residentheads and guest residents, pro¬grams of community action, andseminars on political and socialtopics. And here too, the phraseis somewhat misleading. Autono¬my was never intended by theadministration to be unboundedin any aspect; all actions wereand are subject to at least in¬direct administration approval.In other words, while the stu¬dents have seen this principle asgranting house freedom, the ad¬ministration has seen it as a de¬vice to inspire house initiative.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOROCKEFELLER MEMORIAL CHAPEL59th Street and Wood lawn Ave.Sunday afternoon at 3:30FEBUARY 4Johannes BrahmsCjermanl^ecfuiem YjaenieTHE ROCKEFELLERCHAPEL CHOIRwith members of theCHICAGO SYMPHONYORCHESTRANeva Pilgrim, sopranoHenri Noel, baritoneRICHARD VIKSTROM,Director of Chapel MusicTICKETS:Students of all collegesand universities $2.50Reserved $4.50General Admission $3.50UC Fao/Staff $3.00Available at: Univ. of ChicagoBookstore, 5802 S.

Thisdoesn’t mean that the whole areaof opportunities for change hasreached its limit. There are yetmany things to be achievedthrough house initiative withinthe outlines of this principle ifthere are students willing to giveto rather than to take from thisprinciple of house autonomy.If the existing limits are to beextended so that a student won’thave to “sacrifice certain satis¬factions (of dorm life) for othershe deems more important” itwill apparently have to bethrough the changing of condi¬tions, such as the establishmentof dorm-type dwellings with thelegal status of apartments. It isin these directions that studentscan and should direct themselvesthrough such groups as IHC,Student Government, and thenewly created Student Life Com¬mittee.STEVEN COPE, ’70PresidentBurton-Judson CouncilNo QuorumsArticle II Section G Clause 1of the Student Government Con¬stitution states, “The Assemblyshall meet at least once a monthexcluding interims.” It is a sadfact that the last meeting washeld on October 25, 1967. Meet¬ings were called for November15 and January 10, but despitethe fact that at least ten indepen¬dent representatives showed up on each date, quorums of 19could not be raised.It is ironic that a governmentcontrolled by a Student PoliticalAction Committee has been crip¬pled by such inaction.BILL PHILLIPS, ’70VISAVISA (Volunteer InstitutionalService Activity) is an organiza¬tion of Chicago students, gradu¬ate and undergraduate, whichvisits Chicago State Hospital, aninstitution for the mentally ill,each Saturday afternoon. (Weleave from New Dorms at 12:30p.m. by bus.)The purpose of VISA, in gener¬al, is to aid in the rehabilitationof patients by bringing them intocontact with members of the out¬side communiy, creating withhim an interaction which is ongo¬ing, meaningful, valuable, andalive. He helps the patient to re¬discover some value, some dig¬nity, some sense of direction inhis life.TO SEE A patient in an asy¬lum, whether walking or sittingor staring or crying, is to seefear, anguish, and above all lone¬liness—“mental illness is aboveall a form of human suffering.”The torment in him cries out inhis eyes, in his every movement,often in his sleep. He wants tobe thought about, needed, lovedonce again, exactly as you and Ido. He may never have known another’s true concern or empa¬thy or love. He wants, above all,to be able to consider himself ameaningful, functional, respectedhuman being—to feel alive, trulyalive.The volunteer can help to cre¬ate these changes in the patient—you can help. Academically, itmay first appear that a non¬professional cannot do thesethings, cannot make the patienttruly different. Intuitively, how¬ever, we in VISA sense thesechanges every Saturday.It is we who see the joy asa patient recognizes a volunteercoming to see him week afterweek. We see the smiles whichlight up the haggard faces; wefeel the embraces and kisses andtears of the men and women inthe hospital. It is we who saygoodby to the patients when theyare discharged. We know there isa change, a movement towardsappreciating the daylight, andthe world, and life. We also know that there is a change in thevolunteer, but you must experi¬ence that for yourself. We thinkyou can be important to thesepeople, and we hope that youwill join us.As Dr. Albert Schweitzer said,regarding volunteer work,“There is no pay except the pri¬vilege of doing it, but you willencounter noble chances and finddeep strength.”JOSEPH SHAY, ’69President of VISANo Marine HeFor the record and the sake ofthe ubiquitous federal agents cur¬rently over-running the campus,I have never been in the Marines.In 1963 I was an officer candidatein the U.S. Coast Guard, fromwhich I received an honorabledischarge for medical reasons.(Cf.

The home Techniks put on atight full court press and, com¬bined with many Chicago errors,managed to pull even with theMaroons.For the next eight minutes thescore rocked back and forth, withthe University pulling out to athree or four point lead and theIIT squad working its way backup. At the half break, the teamswere deadlocked at 31-31.Coach Joe Stampf made gooduse of that break, however, andwhen the second half began Chi¬cago moved into a strong new of¬fensive pattern. They broke theTechnick press wide open, movingthe ball quickly downcourt andscoring easy lay-ups and shortjump shots against the outnum- jbered IIT-men.Shooting better than 70 percent !for the half, the University slowlypulled away from the home five.)The Maroons finally edged into afifteen-point lead with seven min¬utes left to play and from then onhad the game on ice. They alloweda few sudden IIT talies in the doss¬ing seconds but still scored a 79-71 victory.This victory, Chicago’s eighthagainst only a single defeat, solidi-!fied the University’s position asone of the top small-school teams in the area. “IIT played a goodgame,” commented Coach Stampf,“but in this game we were a bet¬ter team.”Leading the “better team” to vic¬tory was Marty Campbell, with 22points, and “Wink” Pearson, with20 markers. Also scoring in doublefigures were Randy Talan, 12points, and Fred Deitz, 10.As a whole, the team shot a fan¬tastic 63 percent from the fieldand 73 percent from the free throwMURPHIESApplications for Murphyscholarships must be re¬turned to the ScholarshipOffice on the second floorof the Administration today.The Astronomical Society has an-! nounced plans for a lecture seriesin astronomy to be presented dur¬ing the winter and spring quarters.These lectures, while open to all,are intended primarily for under¬graduates.The opening lecture of the ser¬ies, “Some Recent Work in X-RayAstronomy,” will be delivered byW.

On Campus Afexfihulman(By the author of “Rally Round the Flag, Boys!”,“Dobie Gillis,” etc.)1968: ITS CAUSE AND CUREAre you still writing “1967” on your papers and letters ?I’ll bet you are, you scamp! But I am not one to be harshwith those who forgot we are in a new year, for I myself,have long been guilty of the same lapse. In fact, in mysenior year at college, I wrote 1873 on my papers untilnearly November of 1874! (It turned out, incidentally,not to be such a serious error because, as we all know, 1874was later repealed by President Chester A. Arthur in a fitof pique over the Black Tom Explosion. And, as we allknow, Mr. Arthur later came to regret his hasty action.Who does not recall that famous meeting between Mr.Arthur and Louis Napoleon when Mr. Arthur said, “Lou,I wish I hadn’t of repealed 1874.” Whereupon the Frenchemperor made his immortal rejoinder, “Tipi que nous ettyler tu”. Well sir, they had many a good laugh about that,as you can imagine.)But I digress. How can we remember to write 1968 onour papers and letters ? Well sir, the best way is to findsomething memorable about 1968, something unique to fixit firmly in your mind. Happily, this is very simple be¬cause, as we all know, 1968 is the first year in history thatis divisible by 2, by 5, and by 7. Take a pencil and try it:1968 divided by 2 is 984 ; 1968 divided by 5 is 393%; 1968divided by 7 is 28114. This mathematical curiosity will notoccur again until the year 2079, but we will all be so busythen celebrating the Chester A. Arthur bi-centenerarythat we will scarcely have time to be writing papers andletters and like that.Another clever little trick to fix the year 1968 in yourmind is to remember that 1968 spelled backwards is 8691.“Year” spelled backwards is “raey” “Personna” spelledbackwards is “Annosrep.” I mention Personna because Iam paid to write this column by the makers of PersonnaSuper Stainless Steel Blades, and they are inclined towithhold my check if I omit to mention their product.Not, mind you, that it is any chore for me to sing thepraises of Personna, for it is a seemly blade that shavesyou cleanly, a gleaming blade that leaves you beaming, atrouble-free blade that leaves you stubble-free, a match¬less blade that leaves you scratchless. If you are tired offacial slump, if you are fed up with jowl blight, tryPersonna today... available both in double-edge style andInjector style. And if I seem a bit excessive in my admira¬tion for Personna, I ask you to remember that to mePersonna is more than a razor blade; it is also an employer.But I digress. We were speaking of the memorable as¬pects of 1968 and high among them, of course, is the factthat in 1968 the entire House of Representatives standsfor election. There will, no doubt, be many lively and inter¬esting contests, but none, I’ll wager, quite so lively andinteresting as the one in my own district where the lead¬ing candidate is none other than Chester A. Arthur!Mr. Arthur, incidentally, is not the first ex-president tocome out of retirement and run for the House of Repre¬sentatives'. John Quincy Adams was the first. Mr. Adamsalso holds another distinction: he was the first son of apresident ever to serve as president. It is true that MartinVan Buren’s son, Walter “Blinky” Van Buren, was at onetime offered the nomination for the presidency, but he,alas, had already accepted a bid to become Mad Ludwigof Bavaria. James K. Polk’s son, on the other hand, be¬came Salmon P. Chase. Millard Fillmore’s son went intoaluminum/siding. This later became known as the Mis¬souri Compromise.* * * © 1968, Max ShulroanIn Missouri, or anywhere else, there is no compromisewith quality in Personna or in Personna’s partner inshaving pleasure — Burma-Shave.
