The letter outlines arevision of the newest grading pro¬posal which will be voted on bythe Council on Tuesday.The revision calls for a changein the present honors-pass-fail rec-ommendations to pass-fail,wherever the H-P-F is suggested.The letter recommends the changefor the following five reasons:• Students are motivated throughintellectual curiosity rather thangrades; therefore the additionalgrade of H would have little effecton the student’s output. The pres¬sure of grades only increases thetension of the student about hiswork and “discourages him fromventuring into new areas of intel¬lectual endeavor.”• If a broad H grade were See editorial on Page 4aadopted, the student receiving aP would feel his work “distinctlyunexciting and unimpressive” andthe same pressure to work for anA or B would exist.But if the H is limited, those whosaw the possibility of receiving anA or B would still feel the !competition for an H grade.• The problems inherent in any jgrading system will be preservedas long as there are “any recordeddistinctions within the passingrange.” If the H grade is offeredstudents will feel compelled towork for it.• A uniform H grade is impos¬sible; individual teachers will in¬terpret it differently, causing thegrade to lose much of its meaning.• The University of Chicago, theletter maintained, runs less of arisk than many other schools byeliminating grades other than PWomen Learn Hoy/To Kick and GougeBy CAROLINE HECKStaff WriterFifty to sixty Chicago womenwere given instructions on the pro¬per ways to kick, jab, stab, gougeand otherwise mutilate men at alecture given Wednesday eveningby a member of the city’s PoliceDepartment.Catherine Johnson delivered thehour-long talk in the WallaceLounge in response to student re¬quests to the Department for infor¬mation on self defense, in lightof several instances of attacks andrapes in the past few weeks.WtMiss Johnson at The Maroonmeeting Mrs. Johnson recommendedscreaming, fingernails in eyes, andkicking. She explained that thekicking is relatively valueless un¬less the shoe is ground into theattacker’s shin. “This has a verygood effect,” she stated.‘A Beautiful Area’She deemed most effective an at¬tack on what she called “the fami¬ly jewels.” “This is a beautifularea,” she stated.Enumerating handy weapons thata girl might have, Mrs. Johnsonincluded jabbing the corner of abook into the attacker’s adam’s ap¬ple (“this gets a nice result”) um¬brellas (“use the point”) and aball point pen or pencil in thetemple or the ear.Mrs. Johnson gave a brief anat¬omy lesson, pointing out that suchareas as the windpipe, solar plexusand kidneys could be handy spotsfor an effective attack.In addition, Mrs. Johnson de¬livered advice on when to resistan attacker. She recommended thata girl not resist a purse snatcheror any other person she thinks willnot do her bodily harm.She also stated that sometimesit is advisable to cooperate with arapist. “At least,” she stated,“you’ve still got your life.” and F. Graduate schools presumethat Chicago students are capableof doing well academicallywhether they receive a single, un¬differentiated P or another type ofgrade.‘Last Strong Attempt’The twelve who signed the letteradmitted that they are not repre-senatiVe of the student body.They claimed, however, to havebeen in contact with many peopleregarding the grade issue andfound opinion generally in accord¬ance with theirs.The reason for the letter,according to SG President JeffreyBlum, ’68, was to “make one laststrong attempt to get a pass in¬stead of honors-pass.”The following students signedthe letter: Blum and Ed Birn-baum, ’68, chairman of the SG Un¬dergraduate Academic AffairsCommittee; Edward Cohen, ’68,and Mark Harder, ’68, from . theStudent Biology Committee; Can¬dace Falk, ’69, and Colleen Miner,’69, from the Humanities Colle¬giate Division Student Council;Nancy Abrams, ’69, and DavidBarnard, 70, from the New Colle¬giate Division Student Advis¬ory Committee; Jon Gethner, ’68,and Donald Lamb, of the StudentAdvisory Committee of the Physi¬cal Sciences Collegiate Division;and Tobey Klass, ’68, and StevenSolomon, ’68, from the StudentCouncil of the Social SciencesCollegiate Division.The students’ proposal followsapproval last Friday by the Com¬mittee of the College Council of aplan calling for H-P-F grading incommon core courses and in di¬visional requirements falling out¬side of the student’s collegiate di¬vision, with A-B-C-D-F grading forall other courses except electives,where the option would be up tothe faculty.

The ac¬tivities of the convention will be aplatform committee meeting and aconvention meeting.The platform committee willmeet tonight at 7:30 p.m. in theIda Noyes main lounge. One rep¬resentative from each of the 50state delegations will meet andwrite a platform dealing with for¬eign affairs, domestic affairs, taxpolicy, Vietnam, and other majorissues. The convention meeting will bebroken up into two sessions. Thefirst session will meet at 9 a.m.tomorrow in the Quadrangle Club,and adopt a platform. The secondsession will meet at 1 p.m. in Kent107 and nominate the Presidentialand Vice-Presidential candidates.Bernie Grofman, a graduate stu¬dent in political science, will chairboth the platform committee meet¬ing and the convention.Spectators will be admitted aslong as there is space, but servingon a delegation is preferred.

And thewhole country is supporting them,”he said. “And now we’ve got thissituation in Korea.”He warned people to learn howto live off the land, and to be ableto get out of the cities (where, hesaid, the “slavemakers, who wantto own every inch of this greenearth, have driven us”) within fif¬teen minutes.”Brown ran for city councilmantwo years ago in Berkeley, pro¬claiming, “I’m extremely intelli¬gent, totally honest, and completelyincorruptible.” He said he went toa League of Women Voter’s elec¬tion meeting completely stoned onacid.Now Brown says he is followingan acid and religion case throughthe courts. It started last EasterSunday when, he said, policeseized a bronze cross of his thatwas filled with LSD.Chicago Heart Experts Use Balloons, ComputersDevices as simple as the old-fashioned balloon and as complexas the most advanced computersare being used in the fight againstheart disease, according to anumber of heart specialists whogathered here last week.The surgeons were participatingin a three-day program on “Ag¬gressive Management of CoronaryArtery Disease” presented at theCenter for Continuing Educationby the University’s School of Med¬icine and the American College ofCardiology.The balloon device was one ofseveral mechanical assistances tothe heart discussed by James R.Jude, head of the Division of Tho¬racic and Cardiovascular Surgeryat the University of Miami Schoolof Medicine.A double-passage catheter, ortube, with the deflated balloon at¬tached is inserted in a patientwith a failing heart through anincision in the groin, he said. It is then manipulated into the heart.At regulated intervals coincidingwith the beat of the heart, the bal¬loon is allowed to contract or ex¬pand. It is filled with helium or ni¬trogen to displace blood so theweakened heart can function onreduced pressure.The balloon has been used up to24 hours in a single heart attackvictim by Adrian Kantrowitz inNew York, said Dr. Jude.He added that there might besome value in using such amethod periodically to relieve thepressure on a victim of heart fail¬ure.Computer UsedThe computer, described by MaxH.

This iswhat Johnson means by a vital in¬terest in Vietnam — to securefreedom for large corporations toinvest profitably.”The assertion was made lastnight by Fred Halstead, Presiden¬tial candidate for the SocialistWorkers Party.In his speech to the Young So¬cialists on campus, Halsteadmaintained that his main goalsare to “bring the troops home fromare to “bring the troops homefrom Vietnam now” and to secure“black control of black communi¬ties”.Halstead claimed that the Pres¬ident’s goal in Vietnam (to pro¬mote big business) is an “abuse toall young men being drafted.” Heheld that the United States shouldannounce the immediate removalof troops and bring them home asquickly as possible.Halstead viewed the anti-war |movement optimistically. “Ithasn’t accomplished its stated goalbut it has created many changes,”he declared. Commenting on the anti-warmovement, Halstead stated thatthe key to its success is to “keepit an independent factor which thegovernment must reckon with asit does with military defeat.” tients who have suffered a myo¬cardial infarction and are inshock. Information from a numberof monitoring systems is gatheredand projected on a televisionscreen in the room, providing im¬mediate and continuing informa¬tion for the medical team.Dr. Weil said he believes thereis relative overemphasis on bloodpressure as a measurement of thepatient’s condition. He considersblood velocity and cardiac outputto be more important immediatemeasurements.He noted there are importantchanges in pulmonary function inmyocardial shock, including a de¬crease of oxygen tension in theblood.Immediate treatment outlinedby the physician included securingproper ventilation, controlling;bleeding or trauma, relieving con-!gestion, and checking cardiac sizeand rhythm.Because there often is a loss offluid volume, Dr. Weil said, theUCLA team has found it effectiveto give large quantities of glucoseand plasma.Radiographic TechniqueAlso described at the conferencewas a semi-surgical, radiographictechnique that lets physicians viewliving, pulsing arteries and that isproving increasingly useful in di¬agnosing and pinpointing arterio¬sclerosis.According to Harvey B. Kempof the Cardiovascular Unit of Pe¬ ter Bent Brigham Hospital in Bos¬ton, the technique, which was firstused about ten years ago, involvesinsertion of a tube or catheterthrough the brachial artery in thepatient’s shoulder.The tube is then advanced care¬fully until it is maneuvered intothe arteries surrounding the heart.A dye is released which registerson x-ray film, and motion pictures can then be taken of the arteriesin motion. Such films clearly showirregularities in the arteries andserve as a useful diagnostic toolfor treatment or surgery.Dr. Kemp said his hospital hasperformed the procedure 400times. Autopsies on 29 patientswho subsequently died showed thearteriograms were highly ac¬curate.Flowers Take Over Wash PromThe Washington Promenade,once a semi-formal dance, hasgone semi-floral.Having been taken over by hip¬pies, the dance, to be held thisyear on February 17, will featureOtis Rush, the contemporary bluesmusician, in addition to the moretraditional Ross Anderson and histen-piece orchestra.It will also have a traditionalbuffet supper, a skit by the Black-friars, and the crowning of MissUniversity of Chicago.That last event is always pre¬ ceded by an election of one of thefinalists chosen from among allthe candidates by panel of judges.This year the campus-wide electionwill be held February 12-14.Tickets to the dance are current¬ly $5.50 but will rise to $6.50 ap¬proximately a week before thedance.

Fox, Barbara Hurst, Jerry Lapidus, MarySue Leighton, John Recht, John Siefert, Jessica Siegel, Paula Szewczyk.Final WordThe most recent proposal on grading, contained ina letter signed by a dozen student leaders and sent tomembers of the College Council yesterday, prompts us tooffer a final word on the matter.First, honors-pass-fail grading should be required incommon core courses. Assuming a broadly defined H,this would ease the transition from secondary school tocollege while insuring that most students not yet sparkedby intellectual in some disciplines would receive an ade¬quate general education in them anyway.Second, H-P-F grading should similarly be requiredin all divisional and departmental required courses. Thiswould ease the anxiety over whether a given amount ofwork will earn, say, an A or a B, while insuring that thetranscript would be at least minimally informative andmeaningful to most graduate schools.Third, alternatives of H-P-F and pass-no credit shouldexist in all courses taken as electives. This would allowstudents to take courses they otherwise might shun forfear of receiving low grades.The suggestion of the twelve students for across-the-board pass-fail grading, although theoretically admirablein that it frees students from artificial regulations of intel¬lectual inquiry, remains untenable so long as some com¬mon core courses remain unexciting and graduate schoolshesitiate to consider transcripts not within the mainstreamof current grading practices. Members of the CollegeCouncil should recognize, however, that H-P-F gradingwith a P-N option in electives is within the students’ranges of both desires and interests; this proposal shouldnot be ignored when the Council meets Tuesday.Trustees' FundIncreasing expenses and decreasing income, whichnecessitated Chicago’s new tuition hike, are both dueultimately to the fiscal policy of the Federal government.Due to the extravagant costs of the present war, govern¬ment research funds have been slashed. The Universityis not receiving Federal monies that it had counted on,yet in anticipation of such financing had contracted cer¬tain expenses.Consider also that private institutions such as Chi¬cago must compete with the “free” public universities forstudents, offering only a superior education as an attrac¬tion. Yet to keep that education superior is extremely dif¬ficult and quite expensive. Questions are constantly beingraised about the possibility that many private institutionswill not survive the ne\t few decades.The administration of Chicago has gone on recordas determined to keep Chicago from dying or, possiblyworse, from becoming mediocre. Some time ago they es¬tablished, as a start, the Trustees’ Fund, which is used forthe special purpose of insuring the continued presencetional funds for the endowment, to insure Chicago’s in¬dependence from Federal funds and from state competi¬tion. Both efforts deserve support and success. Tug of WarLetters to the EditorsDrug PolicyThe concern expressed byDeans Booth and O’Connell intheir recent statement on policytowards drugs is both encourag¬ing and disturbing. It is encour¬aging that the deans are sincere¬ly worried about what is a realproblem of life. It is disturbingthat their concern is misdirectedand based upon false perceptions.Students buy drugs from otherstudents. Even when the profes¬sional criminal does bring drugsto the University, he does notdeal on the retail level. He sim¬ply cannot risk such wide ex¬posure. Further, students will buydrugs only from someone whothey have some reason to trustthis- is almost always another stu¬dent. Thus student drug trafficdoes not involve criminals simplybecause it does not need to. Stu¬dents are quite sufficient.The relation of the student tofederal and state laws and lawenforcers is the business of thatstudent. If the University fearsthe possible embarrassment ofa raid on a dorm it has a validfear but it would do well to ex¬press this fear aruk admit, thatit is the basis for its actions.Otherwise, I see no reason forthe University interferring with astudent’s actions as long as thatstudent’s actions affect only him¬self and other consenting stu¬dents. Students engage in otherillegal activities such as draft re¬sistance and civil disobediance.In the case of draft resistance thepenalties are comparable to druguse. But the University rightfullyhas not interferred with theseactions.BUT MOST upsetting is thedeans attitude towards “droppingout.” Not all students who takedrugs “drop out.” Most are eitherable to integrate drug use withtheir academic life—this is morecommon with marijuana thanLSD—or, unable to resolve a con¬ flict between the two, give updrug use.It IS true that some students“drop out.” It IS true that this“dropping out” is sometimes as¬sociated with drugs. It is NOTtrue that the causing factor ofthis “dropping out” is drugs.A student who turns towardsdrugs as a means of solving hislife-problems does so simply be¬cause he feels that he can findthe solution through the use ofdrugs and that he has been un¬able to find it through othermeans. I disagree with his choiceof means but I defend his rightto have that choice. A studentwho “drops out” through drugs—or through politics or art or love—is indicating to the Universitythat it has been unable to providehim with the means for confront¬ing and perhaps solving his life-problems, for finding personalsatisfaction, and for finding per¬sonal worth and that student isnow seeking it on his own.To repress drug use to prevent“dropping out” begs the issue.The issue is that, for the studentwho does “drop out” throughdrugs, drugs were the best offerthe University could make.SLADE LANDER, ’68(Editor’s note: Mr. Lander,’68, is a Tutorial Studies majorconcentrating in psychology.He has done extensive researchon student drug use and is afrequent contributor to TheMaroon.)Gas ChamberChicago stinks—it is no morethan a large gas chamber. I amsuffering from a mild case ofsulphur dioxide poisoning, as iseveryone else around here. ButI’m relatively new here and sohaven’t yet become accomodatedto it. Things take time.Suppose a tax of $100/year/capita—which is obviously about50 times too small—were im¬posed on the companies mainlyresponsible for burning that guckysoft coal in the area, and the pro¬ ceeds used to reimburse the resi¬dents—even if only those whoare yet not accommodated tobeing poisoned—for the drugs re¬quired to clear their sinuses aswell as for irreparable damageto their respiratory tracts—which,like everything else at Chicago,has a money price.Suppose the tax yielded $100million collected from, say, fiveto ten firms. Perhaps precipita¬tors in the smokestacks of theplants of these firms, or eventhe use of higher quality fuel,might then be the next cheapestand hence more desirable oppor¬tunity for these firms, instead ofas now, is the imposition of anirredressible tax on the health(sic) of each of countless suffer¬ing and uncomplaining individu¬als. It is ironic that the power totax indiscriminately and dicta-torially, when embodied (impli¬citly) in private enterprise thisway, should go unquestioned inAmerica.Long-suffering Americans arethen, in effect, subsidizing large,cost conscious industry in itspursuit of the economies of usingcheap fuel, the benefits of whichare held to “enrich the lives ofus all.” How generous!Gas mask anyone?J.

And the audience goesaway knowing more about America andabout themselves, and feeling good, andmaybe a little kinder in mind towards in¬surance salesmen.This is the University of Chicago FolkFestival, started in 1961 by a group of stu¬dents who had been put off by the imper¬sonal commercialism of the first NewportFolk Festival. They decided that whatwas needed was a much smaller festival,where the best of America’s traditionalperformers could try to communicatetheir art to urban audiences in a relative¬ly congenial atmosphere, and where thetraditional performers themselves couldbe the stars, not being overshadowed bythe great names of the folk revival.As time went on, those who were run¬ning the folk festival realized that “com¬mercial” music was indeed an importantpart of American traditional music, butin a slightly different sense. So the societybegan to emphasize not only the perform¬ances of the home musician, but also of the folk professional, the artist of foikbackground who made his career as aprofessional musician playing primarilyfor folk audiences, since these are indeedoften the artists who embody to the great¬est degree the esthetic and cultural idealsof the folk. The festival now presentseverything from home musicians whorarely play outside of their immediateneighborhood, such as Kilby Snow or JohnJackson, to semi-professionals, who makean important part of their living bymusic, but are primarily engaged in otherprofessions, such as Joseph Spence or thePoplin Family, to artists with regionaland even national reputations among thefolk, such as Clark Kessinger, the OsborneBrothers, and Howlin’ Wolf.BluegrassBluegrass music is the updated soundof traditional country string band music.During the late nineteen thirties and earlyforties when most country bands becameelectrified, adopting new instruments andslick, saccharine sound, a few performers,notably Bill Monroe and his BluegrassBeys, continued to play country music ontraditional instruments (fiddle guitar, 5-string banjo, mandolin and string bass)with traditional vocal harmonies. Whatdistinguished their new “BluegrassSound” from the old square dance musicwas its driving beat, its free use of non-traditional sources, and its emphasis oninstrumental virtuosity. Like jazz, blue¬grass has frequent solo instrumentalbreaks, ensemble harmonies, melodic andsometimes rhythmical improvisation. Butits reliance on traditional sounds remainsessentialBluegrass is usually associated withBill Monroe and his disciples, the StanleyBrothers, Earl Taylor, Red Smiley, AlexCambell, and Earl Scruggs. But in aclass by themselves are the Osborne Bro¬thers, Sonny and Bob. Sonny plays banjo;Bob, mandolin. Both are excellent instru¬mentalists, perhaps the most imaginativein the field today. Their sound is smooth,their harmonies stratospheric; their ma¬terial ranges from uptempo versions oftraditional square dance tunes to commer¬cial Nashville sounds—Hank Williams hitsand the like. Most exciting, however, havebeen their recent excursions into whatthey like to call the “modern sounds ofbluegrass.”String Band“Old time string band music” isa genre of American country music out ofwhich grew western swing, “bluegrass”,rock-a-billy, and modern Nashville coun¬try and western styles. “Old-time” stringbands started whenever mountain musi¬ cians first got together to play for dancesback around the turn of the century.The fiddle, being both the most com¬mon and versatile of the mountain instru¬ments, took the lead in melody. The ban¬jo would add its rhythmic frailing beat,while playing the melody more or less inunison with the fiddle. When the guitarcame into use in the mountains, just afterWorld War I, the pattern was set for thebasic string band. The guitar played thebass and the major rhythms, and the fid¬dle played the melody instrument and thebanjo was used for immediate rhythms,syncopations, and some melody.The festival will have as its guests threevery distinguished “old-time” stringbands: Clark Kessinger’s, China and EdnaPoplin, and The New Lost City Ramblers,each representing a different aspect of thevarigated string band field.Clark Kessinger is a polished and pro¬fessional fiddler. He recorded extensively,cutting over 80 sides between 1928 and1931, placing the height of his recordingcareer exactly in the “golden era of stringbands”.Clark’s fiddling now is as good as itever was. Recently he has been playingto the accompaniment of guitarist GeneMeade from Draper, N. C. Using a flatpick style, he gives a solid back up withlong rapid bass runs executed with greatskill and imagination, making him easilyone of the best back-up guitarists in coun¬try music. It has been said that“Gene Meade thinks he’s Riley Puckett.And he’s right.”China Poplin, with his sister Edna, arefrom Sumter, South Carolina. Unlike Kes¬singer, they never recorded commerciallyuntil the recent folk revival and so theyrepresent the non-professional home-typemusicians. They have never travelledwidely and so have developed a style oftheir own based on family tradition.As the years went by and new kinds ofmusic were heard on the radio, the Pop¬lins reacted in a most unusual way. In¬stead of either changing their style to ac¬commodate the new songs, as many musi¬cians were doing throughout the country,or simply clinging to the music they hadalready mastered, the Poplins took thenew material and adapted it to fit theirstyle. When they played at local showsand square dances, requests for the newersongs kept the Poplins playing and sing¬ing these in addition to the older numbers.The New Lost City Ramblers (who willrun the workshops at the festival as wellas sing in the concert) have the distinc¬tion of being the best of the old time coun¬try musicians who are neither old or coun¬try people. Mike Seeger, John Cohen, andTracy Schwarz are each consummatemusicians and are folklorists as well.About ten years ago, the Ramblers firstbecame interested in the old-time, stringband, 78 RPM records, and began copy¬ing what they heard. Bruce Kaplan, form¬er president of the Folklore Society says,“The Ramblers were both vocal and in¬strumental in the discovery of string bandmusic by city people.”John Kilby Snow began playing the auto¬harp in 1911, when he was five years old,and a year later beat his teacher in a con¬test. He continued to play while workingContinued on Page Three< ,v* tftuvt'jjvTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOROCKEFELLER MEMORIAL CHAPEL59th Street and Wood I awn AveSunday afternoon at 3:30FEBUARY 4Johannes Brahms^ Cjermcutl^etfuiem l^JaenieTHE ROCKEFELLERCHAPEL CHOIRwith members of theCHICAGO SYMPHONYORCHESTRANeva Pilgrim, sopranoHenri Noel, baritoneRICHARD VIKSTROM,Director of Chapel MusicTICKETS:Students of all collegesand universities S2.50Reserved $4.50General Admission $3.50UC Fac/Staff $3.00Available at: Univ. of ChicagoBookstore, 5802 S.

Wesleyan University Press. $5.The Use of LSD in Psychotherapy andAlcoholism, edited by Harold A. Ab¬ramson, M.D. Bobbs-Merrill. $10.50.by Slade H. LanderThe literary market place is gluttedby books dealing and misdealing withLSD. LSD, Man & Society, though im¬pressive both in its title and its contri¬butors, does little to upgrade the qualityof the popular intellectual literature onthe subject. Rather, it represents theshrewdness of a university press tomake use of a good thing.The book is a collection of papers giv¬en a public symposium held at Wes¬leyan University in March of 1967. Itwas published in October of 1967 by,strangely enough, the Wesleyan Univer¬sity Press.The book’s nine papers are sorted intothree vague categories: the biology o fLSD; LSD and the individual; and LSDand the society. The papers range insubject from the effects of LSD on neu¬ron firing to the place of LSD in the utimate evolution of man. Intermediatestops are made to discuss the religious,legal, social, and therapeutic aspects ofLSD.Each paper, though dealing with onlya limited aspect of the drug, is in itselflimited. This lack of scope would be ex¬pected in a symposium where time isshort. However, in a book where moreelaborate presentation is possible itshould not be tolerated.Dr. Frank Barron, in his paper “Mo¬tivational Patterns in LSD Usage,”glibly classifies all LSD users into ninemotivational categories without discus¬sing either the empirical or theoreticalbasis for the classification. Certainly hemust have one. Probably it would be tooelaborate to present in lecture form.However, no attempt was made to modi¬fy what may have been an adequate lec¬ture into a comprehensive article.Likewise, Dr. Albert A. Kurland’s pa¬per, “The Therapeutic Potential of LSDin Medicine,” though presenting drama¬tic case histories of clients curedthrough LSD therapy, does not mentionwhat the theoretical justification forsuch therapy is, and only briefly dis¬cusses what the criteria for using suchtherapy on a patient would be.That LSD is a broad, varied, and com¬plicated subject is a tired cliche. Butpart of the truth of the cliche is due tothe perpetuation of the confusion overLSD by the literature on the subject. Be¬cause of the spectacular nature of LSDthe popular press and the popular intel¬lectual press (of which I would considerthis book representative) have, in theirrush to the marketplace, presented awealth of fragmented reports on vari¬ous aspects of LSD.This piecemeal presentation has longbeen the case with professional journals.But in their case it is justified by, first,the necessity of spreading any newknowledge as quickly as possible, and, second, the fact that the journals’ audi¬ences are professionals with compara¬tively broad backgrounds to which oneadditional finding can generally be in¬tegrated.The general public has no such ad¬vantage. Fragmented reports will re¬main fragmented. But there have beenfew attempts to integrate the knowledgeabout LSD even into the context ofsome given aspect of the drug.For example, LSD has been used inpsychotherapy for about two decades,although its use has not been extensive.Yet despite the length of its therapeuticuse and its proponents’ enthusiasm,there have been almost no compre¬hensive works on LSD therapy.The Use of LSD in Psychotherapy andAlcoholism edited by Dr. Harold A.Abramson is one of the most recentbooks dealing with the therapeutic useof LSD. It is an extensive collection ofpapers presented at a conference on thetherapeutic use of LSD held in May, 1965at Amityville, New York. The content issuperior to LSD, Man & Society both inthe quality of the papers and in theirfocus on a single aspect of LSD.Of the 631 references cited in the vari¬ous papers, only six were compre¬hensive, integrated works dealing withthe use of LSD in psychotherapy. 0 fthese six, three are mimeographed man¬uals. Obviously, despite the wealth ofmaterial on and controversy surround¬ing the therapeutic use of LSD, therehas been little attempt to integrate theinformation, techniques, and theories ofits use into real, comprehensive books.It may be argued that few comprehen¬ sive works have been produced aroundthe use of one drug, say thorazine, intherapy. This is not quite true. Therewas one book listed in LSD in Psycho¬therapy dealing with carbon dioxidetherapy, a much less controversial formof therapy. But, more important, theproponents of LSD therapy generallypoint out that the LSD experience radi¬cally changes the form, content, andmethod of therapy. If this is so, the bur¬den of formulating and integrating thisnew style of therapy rests upon the LSDtherapists. I do not feel that they havemet it.Perhaps more important, there havebeen no comprehensive attempts to viewLSD u s e as indicative of larger prob¬lems in the society. For example, thelegal problems of LSD control are boundup in the much broader problem of drugcontrol in general; LSD is but one of themultitude of “consciousness altering”drugs used—and in most cases legallyused—by people in this society.Little research has been done into thesocial causes of drug use. For example,a student who takes LSD as a possiblesolution to the legitimate problems ofhis academic environment has not re¬moved himself or “escaped” from thatenvironment. He is still drastically af¬fected by it. Yet the press nas usuallychosen to concentrate on the studentuser as a deviant, rather than examinethe environment which produced him.It has only been recently, notably withthe murder of Linda Fitzpatrick inGreenwich Village this fall, that t h epress has begun to admit that perhapsthe society to Which Linda was des¬ perately trying to find an alternativewas not the best. Yet the lay public ispresented not only with a glut of biased,fragmented information, but also witha glut of biased value systems to inter¬pret the information.There is an interest in LSD. It is aninterest which is disproportionate to theimportance of LSD as a drug per se. Itmust be viewed as a social phenomenonindicative of the present state of society.LSD is but one of a myriad of drugsconsumed by the society; the factorscausing the use of LSD should not beviewed completely independently fromthe causes for the use of other drugs. Al¬though the reasons why a person maytake, say, “Compoz” are probablydrastically different from the reasonswhy a person would take LSD, the moti¬vations of both people for taking adrug are probably very similar.One such similarity is that both peo¬ple are likely to be unable to deal withthe immediate situation as they find it.A second would be that they are bothdissatisfied with their own response to asituation. Thus, a person may take“Compoz” not just because he is tenseat the time, but also because he is dis¬satisfied with the tension and can’t dealwith it in any other way. Likewise,a person may take LSD because he isdissatisfied with himself, and has notbeen able to find another way to dealwith this dissatisfaction.Yet, though there are these similari¬ties in motivation for different types ofdrugs use, American society insists onviewing LSD use as something special.Most people seem to want to think thatthe motivating factors leading to druguse affect only people who are not reallypart of the society, such as “hippies,”students, and other odd sorts.Many Americans have sought a scape¬goat for a general problem, and,through the press, have found it inthose who use LSD. But obviously theyhave not completely rejected the LSDusers, for if they had, there would notbe so much interest in the drug. In thisway, people have found a compromise,admitting that the problem exists, butdenying that it has anything to do withthem. At best, such action avoids the is¬sue and prevents any lasting solution.On the surface, and on the rationallevel, LSD, Man & Society offers littlemore to the reader than a convenientsource of nine articles, which he mightotherwise have searched for in the libra¬ry. Aside from convenience, there seemsto be no reason why these particulararticles, rather than any other ninearticles on LSD, should be boundtogether.But it appears that these articles of¬fer something on a less rational level,i.e., both repulsion from and attractionto the mysteries of LSD.Mr. Lander is a fourth year student inthe College at the University of Chi¬cago, concentrating in psychology.

Withthis rather non-contestable item, theauthor begins a slowly snowballing nar¬rative of that early period — a narrativewhose pace is rarely in time with thatof Mr. Bennett’s ideas.Mr. Bennett initially unfolds his storywithin a “you are there” framework. Theaction begins with the first meeting ofSouth Carolina’s Reconstruction legisla¬ture in Charleston, 1868. Having thusfurnished himself with great latitude forimaginative description and innovation,he proceeds to launch his book in a near-disastrous fashion. While his at-the-scenemethod of reporting colors the event toa pleasing hue, Mr. Bennett seems car¬ried away with his own novelty and ap¬pears convinced that he actually wasthere. In the midst of this over-enthusi¬asm, the senior editor of Ebony indulgesin the sort of editorializing that onewould rarely condone if it were not onthe prescribed page of a magazine ornewspaper. For example, when speakingof the Negro legislators whom we are ob- credible, omniscient insight:Most of these men are literate. Only afew are without the rudiments of edu¬cation, and even they are wise in theways of the world.Beginning mid-way in the first chapter,the plague of exaggeration recedes, andMr. Bennett dives headlong into the con¬fused mass of people and problems. Hepenetrates the rebel states’ law-makingbodies and emerges with the sour tasteof Democrat on his tongue, which em¬bitters and markedly slants his coverage.Still, it refreshingly balances the long-prevailing voice of earlier twentieth cen¬tury historians who bewailed the South’sbetrayal at the hands of ignorant, vin¬dictive freedmen and Yankees.The bulk of research lies with the gov¬ernments of South Carolina and Missis¬sippi, because in these two states theoverwhelming volume of laws, bills, anddecisions probed into the two major con¬cerns of the Reconstruction governments,land and politics; then he focuses onthese.In these chapters the author is at hisbest: the versatility of style which hepossesses makes mundane legislative dis¬pute alive and exciting. Much of this ef¬fectiveness is due to Mr. Bennett’s clear¬ly subjective point of view. He does nottry to present two sides of the recon-How did it happen:Six Seconds in Dallas, by JosiahThompson. Bernard Geis Associates. Tell me every detail — I’ve got toknow it all. admits that another side exists — one,at least, which is worth mentioning.Herein lies the book’s promise and itsfrustration.Mr. Bennett’s total devotion to the Re¬publican side of Reconstruction resultsin a remarkable account of that part ofthe history. He thus saves himself fromnumerous historians’ mistake of ineffec¬tually covering all sides of an event inthe deluded interest of being “fair” or“objective.” Bennett instead has chosento be fair in a different way: by thor¬oughly explicating one side and leavingthe other to fall, either by neglect orimplication.However, the reader is left to specu¬late about the existence of that other sidesince it is not discredited by direct inves¬tigation, but rather through anecdotesand inference. Thus the “First WhiteBacklash” catches the reader unpre¬pared because such potential had notbeen emphasized. Granted, Mr. Bennettwarns us of this unbalanced presentationby annexing the book’s sub-title, The Hu¬man Side of Reconstruction; the readercan only admire his selective eye andstrategic placement of anecdotes and ex¬cerpts from a seemingly endless supplyof primary source material.But Mr. Bennett deprives himself ofscholarly credentials and jeopardizes thehistorical significance of his book in justthis aspect. If his narrative is to be morethan mere story-telling, a precise docu¬mentation is essential. A book as satura¬ted with quotations as this one can evokethe reader’s confidence only if they arefootnoted. It is hard to take seriously thenumerous quotes which are not acknowl¬edged as the statements of any particu¬lar person. The bibliography providesclues to some of the cited remarks, butthere is still a need to know more.In his preface, Mr. Bennett states understanding of the triumphs and fail¬ures of this first Reconstruction is indis¬pensable for an understanding of the tri¬umphs and failures of the second Recon¬struction we are now undergoing.” Inkeeping with this, he occasionally alludesto such men as Adam Clayton Powelland Martin Luther King, Jr.But these references are disappointing¬ly ineffectual in themselves, and only fur¬ther distract from the historical view¬point of the book. Mr. Bennett neitherextends nor applies these parallels; andwhile every point needn’t be stated inblack and white, his vagueness leads thereader to speculate if perhaps he had noprecise comparisons in mind. Thus hisattempt to educate the reader for today’sReconstruction diffuses into a half-heart¬ed effort, and adds nothing to the book.It appears instead as an excuse for cer¬tain interpretations which are incon¬gruous with an historical approach.Perhaps if Mr. Bennett had devotedhis efforts to a 1967-enlightened parallelview of Reconstruction, the book wouldhave come on more strongly. As it is, heonly succeeds in destroying the histori¬cal perspective by what amounts to anaimless over-interpretation.Few readers of Black Power U.S.A.will find it dull or without purpose; andfew will experience anything but plea¬sure at Mr. Bennett’s stylistic techniques.Most will not accept as unadulteratedfact all that has been written; the ter¬minology and focal points clearly markthis book as a product of this second Re¬construction in the past decade, an at¬tempt to find new meaning in that firstexperiment which might prove instruc¬tive for those experiencing the presentpush for power.Miss Graham is a third-year student,majoring in history at the College o/Wooster.cl The Chicago Literary Review$8.95.by Tony ZineskiPerhaps as significant ag the assassi¬nation of President Kennedy is the scru¬tiny given to the minutiae of his death.The plethora of works poring over detail,the scandal of the Manchester book, theattacks on the Warren report tell asmuch about American life style andworld view as about the event in Dallas.Appealing to all types of interest, theinvestigation has turned up complicatedconspiracies, personal grudges, politicalmachinations, and spurred writers tonew heights of originality (witness Mac-Bird.) Of the 20 or more books aboutthe assassination published since theWarren Report, probably the best is SixSeconds, subtitled “A Micro-Study of theKennedy Assassination.”The author is a philosophy professor atHaverford College whose only previouswork is a study of Kierkegaard’s pseu¬donymous writing. With cool philoso¬pher’s logic, Thompson pores over everyscrap of evidence he could find. Inanswer to Phil Ochs queryHow did it happen? I hope his suffer¬ing was small. And do you have a picture of the pain?he offers this answer: four bullets werefired from no less than three rifles atthree different points^the grassy knoll,the book depository, and the countyrecords building.Frequently guilty of too easily dis¬missing evidence that does not supporthis theories, Thompson is neverthelessquite convincing. The case he builds forhis contention that the massive brainwound that killed Kennedy was causedby two bullets fired from different di¬rections is credible on the whole. So ishis assertion that the famous “stretcherbullet,” which supposedly wounded Gov¬ernor Connally, was actually a plant.Having merely stated these astoundingfindings, however, Thompson goes nofurther. He does not even hint as to theidentity of the three assassins (thoughhe does indicate that Oswald may notbe one of them), or their motivation forkilling the President. But of courseThompson is only a logical scientist, con¬cerned largely with angles, millimeters,milliseconds, testimony, photographsand documents. His is not to reason why.Mr. Zineski is a senior majoringin International Studies at Wayne8tate University in Detroit. Editor and Chief Pooh-BahDavid L.

Non-fiction should be judged byits success in making us understandwhat happened, and why. The reviewer’sassessment of these things constituteshis political position. He cannot avoidthem.The Face Of South Vietnam makes usunderstand almost nothing. This is not amatter of disagreeing with its conclusion(which appears to be that the whole waris a sorry mess) or of its lacking sensi¬tivity. Trenchant political judgments(about the past) and sensitivity abound.For example, a street scene:The GI’s come into Saigon, look¬ing for escape and release from thewar. They linger wherever there isan appreciative smile, and theyounger the shilling face, the morethe GI values the child, not knowingwhat lies behind the ‘Hello, Joe’.. . . The American is not seenwith awe, reverence, or even simplerespect. He can afford whatever itcosts him to have a child’s smile fora day, or a girl’s body for a night.There is no sympathy, no bond. . .between the street society of Saigonand the men who come into the cityto find quiet.But the sensitivity somehow avoidshaving a point. Read to the end and youfind that “we are not trying to seize ter¬ritory. ... We are, in the new contextand idiom of this atomic age, paying aheavy price to guarantee that the terri¬tory of Vietnam is not denied us if weneed it for war against China.”And then, amazingly, “it is not a warfor justice for the Vietnamese.” Not onour part, certainly; but on theirs? Ifyou fight to keep someone from “payinga heavy price” (in your lives) “to guar¬antee that the territory of Vietnam isnot denied” for purposes totally alien toyour own, aren’t you fighting injustice?Where has the sensitivity gone?The point is that it was not really sen¬sitivity, but the easy portentousness ofthe TV commentator, for whom porten¬tousness means attention from viewerswho are after all worried (but would alsolike to be reassured) and thereforemeans ratings and salary. Why, after all.should there be a “bond” between theSaigon pimp and a GI? Genuine sensiti¬vity would cringe at the idea: this textjerks easy tears out of a false sense ofthe situation, rather than making the sit¬uation clear. Thus too with solemncliches (“this atomic age”), sentimen¬tality is supplemented by the sanitizingtoughness of realpolitik.Similarly the pictures: no houses burn. no planes shoot screaming through thesky, but on the last page, a gate and asign: “Graves Registration Platoon.”The editor shuffles through the filemarked “Irony, tragic.” Death appears,and we close the book thinking that youcan’t make an omelette without breakingeggs—-in other words, that human beingsare eggs.The Village Of Ben Sue, in contrast,with relentless artistry puts its messageinto its choice of details, into what on thesurface is simply description. We read,for example of a Vietnamese bicyclingaway from Ben Sue, something that loud¬speakers had forbidden:When he had ridden about twentyyards past the point where he firstcame in sight, there was a burst ofmachine gun fire from a copse thirtyyards in front of him, joined imme¬diately by a burst from a vegetablepatch to one side, and he was hurledoff his bicycle into a ditch a yardfrom tlie road. . . . The Vietnamesein the ditch appeared to be abouttwenty, and he lay on his side with¬out moving, blood flowing from hisface, which, with the eyes open, washalf buried in the dirt at the bottomof the ditch. The engineer leaneddown, felt the man’s wrist, and said,‘He dead.’ The two men stood stillfor a while, with folded arms. . . .Then the engineer said, with a toneof finality, ‘That’s a V.C. for you.He’s a V.C., all right. That’s whatthey wear. He was leaving town. Hehad to have some reason.’This narrative method gets to the truth—that for being in your village you wereput in a barbed-wire camp, and for leav¬ing it you were shot. For all their appar¬ent profundity, Brelis and Krementz missthis point. At the end of the book, Schelldescribes, with equal force, the physicalobliteration of the ruins of the village,“as though, having once decided to des¬troy it, we were now bent on annihilat¬ing every possible indication that the vil¬lage of Ben Sue had ever existed.” Ne¬vertheless, the novelistic method fails—not by failing to convey the “correct po¬sition” about the war, but by not copingwith the human reality which underliescorrect and incorrect position alike, andwhich is objective in nature. Most of thelast half of the book describes the USeffort to provide accomodations for the“refugees,” a job calling for logisticalskill and offering opportunities for offi¬cers with humanitarian concern for theircharges’ welfare and happiness.I don’t suggest that Schell shouldn’thave interviewed those officers and re¬corded their humanitarianism. But hefailed—apparently by chance—to recordany refugee saying what another refugeeelsewhere said to a reporter: that withher husband killed, her home destroyed,she wished she were dead. Set againstthe humanitarian syrup, that comes as asurprise. Schell might have providedsuch an observation by departing fromhis narrative method long enough to eval¬uate. As it is, in the climax of the book.Schell asks three women about “villageelders” in Ben Sue, and is told, “We didn’thave any village elders; nobody was im¬portant; everyone was equal.” This pointloses its impact, because the quality ofwhat has happened is allowed to washaway in a flood of unevaluated humani¬tarian verbiage. When the Americans areso massively capable of speaking for themselves, the Vietnamese so little, thisfidelity to bare data actually results in ablurred picture. It is the book’s onlyfault.Vietnam provides the critical eyewhich Schell lacks. It is McCarthy whotells of the woman’s wish that she weredead—and of an officer’s objection to itspublication in a newspaper story.‘It creates the wrong picture of thecamp.’ ‘If only one woman out offive wished she were dead, you’relucky,’ I said. But he was not per¬suaded. The story was unfair, he re¬peated. He actually wanted to thinkthat the evacuees in the camp werehappy.It is appropriate that McCarthy’s pic¬ture, appears on the front cover, for herpersonal reactions are always before us,cutting through what she calls the “lu¬natic attitudes” of this US officer andothers like him.Her major theme is outrage at the “re¬lentless priggery” of the Americans inVietnam. There is the jargon: “napalmhas become ‘Incinderjell,’ which makesit sound like Jello.” There is the banali¬ty and windiness of programs strivingfor revolutionary form without revolu¬tionary content:“a sandy, crew-cut, keen-eyed Armycolonel. . .talks to you about ‘thenuts and bolts’ of the program, which,he is glad to say, is finally gettingthe ‘grass roots’ support it needs.It is impossible to find out fromsuch a man what he is doing, con¬cretely. ... He cannot tell youwhether there has been any land re¬form in his area—that is a strictlyVietnamese pigeon—in fact he hasno idea of how the land in the areais owned.”Often such as when she discusses“vice” in Saigon—it “has a pepless Play¬boy flavor”—her book reads like a novelon the emptiness and viciousness of sub¬urban life. That is to say, McCarthy isso outraged that often she communicatesonly the surface, not the meaning, ofwhat is outrageous. Sometimes, however,she does more: “The Air Force seemsinescapable, like the Eye of God.” Shedescribes an incident during a recon¬naissance flight:“Below, a lone Vietnamese on abicycle stopped, looked up, dismount¬ed, took up a rifle and fired; the pi¬lot let him have it with the wholebombload of napalm—enough for aplatoon. In such circumstances, any¬one with a normal sense of fair playcannot help pulling for the bicyclist,SUtt,!

The worst thing that couldhappen to our country would be towin this war.”Even here, though, the reader expectsto learn why the sense of fair play hasatrophied. Instead, McCarthy lampoonsthe mumbly diction of an official talkingof “the problems engendered by suc¬cess.” Indignation gives way to spite.Yet this is merely a criticism of herbook’s failure to be better than extreme¬ly good. Acid at least cuts through jar¬gon and mystification. We should thankMcCarthy for her dismemberment of theAmerican professors “who have stampedtheir vocabulary and their habits ofthought on this loony trial of strength.”who “write of ‘the faceless Viet Cong’(sometimes appending their photo¬graphs)” and whose work makes “thenotion of a ‘pure’ political science hereseem as remote from actuality as atoms-for-peace.” And for her dismissal of the“moderate” dissenters and particularlythe line which advocates stopping ebombing to get negotiations—“And tif the bombing stops and Hanoi does cotcome to the conference table or c >swith intransigent terms? Then the im¬position, it would seem, is bound to a. >eto more and perhaps bigger bomb.This acid lucidity, for which McC- vis famed as novelist and essayist, is ;greatest gift to the criticism of the -As I recall other reviews of herand Schell’s, Schell was criticizednot being “objective” enough, that isnot “balancing” the destruction ofSue by praising the Americans for iing a refugee camp. McCarthy wasited with originality for suggestinglateral withdrawal—something whicidirectly proves her assertion (wl:had to read twice to be sure 1 h,. itright) that “for the respectable opposi¬tion, unilateral withdrawal has betsteadily more unthinkable as UnitedStates intervention has widened ”Such remarks reveal a world of night¬mare rationality almost worse than any¬thing McCarthy found in Vietnam. Itmay be that her minute, malicious atten¬tion to the nightmare surface of the con¬flict is the best way to cut through.Give this book to your grandmotherfor Tet.Mr. Hobson is a graduate sU< tin political science at the Universityof Chicago.

The Viking Press $8.50.by Mary C. CreagerWith the publication of her newestbook, Marianne Moore celebrates hereightieth birthday. Although it may atfirst be difficult to believe that the authorof this book is eighty and has lived mostof her life with her mother, after somethought one will realize that, of coursethis, her age, her experience, her per¬spective, is one key to her beauty andsuccess as a poet.She states in her poems quite realis¬tically, honestly, and from this vantagepoint of physical old age, that whichexists; facts about the unpleasant, thebeautiful, the difficult, the unhappy, thehilarious qualities of life. She presentsthem from a rather concrete yet magi¬cal perspective, with personally appeal-ling yet comfortingly general and eternalimages and with tasteful humor almostalways lying not far below the surface.From “Author’s Notes” through “Con¬tents” and on through “Collected Poems”(1935-1951) and “Later Poems” (1956-1966), a handful of previously uncollectedpoems, and translations from La Fon¬taine. to “A Note on the Notes”, “Notes”,and “Index of Titles and Opening Lines”,Marianne Moore has collected the gen¬ius. ihe magic, the objectivity, the wit,the paradox that characterizes her art,both early and recent.Simply in scanning the contents, it isdifficult for one not to become caughtup in the enchantment and simplicity ofV -s Moore’s work. One cannot merely£s mee at such titles as “0 to be aOr igon”, ‘For February 14th”, “Sojournin he Whale”, or “Love in America?”S', h titles urge one to page on; theyassure him that soon he will meet thatdragon (“felicitous phenomenon!”), re¬veal to him the true subject of the poemaddressed to Saint Valentine and the witwith which this is done. They perhaps surprise him with the symbolism andinsight he finds in “Sojourn in theWhale”, an understanding and knowledg-able poem to Ireland conveying the poet’sconfidence in Ireland’s ability to dealwith its difficulties:. . . Water in motion is farfrom level. You have seen it, whenobstacles happened to barthe path, rise automaticallyIn all these examples, one can see thequalities so characteristic of MissMoore’s work. Complexity is ofteninherent in simplicity; three pages ofsimple language in “The Steeple-Jack”leave the reader amazed at the intricatetrails his mind can be led through bysuch calmly presented and seeminglyordinary statements and images. Thethree lines composing “Poetry” have asimilar effect:I, too, dislike it.Reading it, however, with a perfectcontempt for it, one discovers init, after all, a place for the genuine.These poems startle one with the alert¬ness and the marvelous insights of awoman who is a forceful and vividwriter:. . . He’s (the hero) not outseeing a sight but the rockcrystal thing to see—the startlingEl Grecobrimming with inner light—thatcovets nothing that it has letgo. . .Some of her more restrained poemsmake the reader want to tell her tolet loose, to abandon discipline and logicin favor of a rambling, emotional, indig¬nant Ginsberg-Ferlinghetti outburst. ButMiss Moore remains consistent; shemoves through her poems ponderouslyand “With seriousness of purpose”. Thestyle of her writing is consistent withher observation about mini-skirts: “Whatis mentioned is always more powerfulthan what is screamed.”Though humble when speaking of her writing, her work is nevertheless didac¬tic, although not to the extent of elimina¬ting the personal. Miss Moore seems tohave no misgivings about stating not onlyobservations but facts as to the natureof mankind, of God, or of writing. Anexample of her self-assured yet not self-righteous wisdom comes in “Silence”,where she states “The deepest feelingalways shows itself in silence”; and thenshe thinks of something else: “not si¬lence, but restraint”. Yet Miss Moorehas the ability to leave the realm ofthe serious, the philosophically deep, andexpound quite capably, and with charac¬ teristic meticulousness, upon the meritsof the arctic ox.Marianne Moore the author is an enig¬ma, one for which analysis would seeman insult. Miss Moore herself has said,“I am very eager while writing—havemisgivings, no curiosity afterwards—nointerest in evaluation”. Evaluation doesindeed seem uninteresting when consid¬ering such a book. And it does not seemnecessary to try to tell about this col¬lection; one needs only to be told this:the book will tell you about itself.Miss Creager is a student at the Col¬lege of Wooster....and the affirmativeThee, by Conrad Aiken.

George Braziller, Inc.by Christine ChatlosTo a generation that has dropped out,turned off and withdrawn from thingsmetaphysical, Conrad Aiken offers a newpoem that affirms being with a tri¬umphal Yes.Thee speaks for the voyagers who arein search of Siva, the Absolute, the cre¬ator-destroyer of all that is. Aiken as¬serts his conviction that there are eter¬nal verities which can be met only withawed assent.For those who doubt, deny and cannotbe amazed by “the wet and still-by¬night-dew-twisted morning glory,” Aik¬en offers death itself as evidence of apitiless and inexorable ultimate force.Such a force, he maintains, is too vastto be anything but an indeterminate andunknowable being who is greater thanus and yet at the same time a part ofus.Such a theme, of course, is not new;some may even call it tiresome. But the fact remains that the themes of goodpoetry (which Thee undeniably is) havealways been and will remain the sameBirth and death, love and hate: theseare the continuing concerns of the poet;only the words and the viewpoint candiffer.Aiken’s style is, as always, brief andclear; the book has only eight pages ofprint. The music is in the words and thewords are deceptively simple. He setsbefore us a panorama of living and dy¬ing creatures and uses their very exis¬tence as the basis of his song.However, the panorama is so swiftlyand succinctly delineated that Theeseems too short to fulfill the author’sintention adequately. Fortunately, thebook includes half a dozen fascinatingdrawings by Leonard Baskin which supplement Aiken’s ideas beautifully.Aiken seems to feel that lie has justi¬fied his faith in Thee, but for many thedoubt will remain.

Coward-McCann. $4.95.by John L. BryantA society which cannot laugh at itselfwill soon show distinct signs of senility.This truism does not seem to apply toour country, for though these UnitedStates seem well on their way to becom¬ing decrepit, Americans still have a pro¬pensity toward laughter. They can stilllaugh at themselves; that is, Americansatirists can still laugh at Americans.One such satirist (who bears a dis¬tinctly non-American sounding name) isJean-Claude van Itallie. In America Hur¬rah, a collection of three of his one-actplays, van Itallie captures in a brilliant¬ly satirical fashion certain hideous truthsabout our Great Society.The best of the trilogy is entitled “TV.” The stage is arranged in a cleverfashion. The audience can see both theactions of the three main characters intheir living room and at the same timethe actions of the various television per¬sonalities as they perform. The dialogueof the people and that of the tube is alsocarried on simultaneously. By using sev¬eral techniques of modern theatre, vanItallie shows how the television anes¬thetizes the main characters and virtuallytakes over their lives. At the same timehe uses the programs viewed by thecharacters as a basis for his satire. Bythe time the curtain falls, van Itallie hasdelighted us with his caustic wit andterrified us by his eloquent stage pro¬duction.The other two plays are not plays atall. “Interview” is subtitled “a fugue for eight players,” and “Motel,” “amasque for three dolls.” These subtitlesare indeed an indication of van Itallie’sIonesco-like style. He uses the stage sup¬erbly as a major device for conveyinghis ideas.In “Interview” the stage reveals a setof interviewers and a set of applicants.They all go through the motions of ask¬ing and answering questions. To showthe meaninglessness of this, van Italliehas each interviewer say one word ofthe question. The ludicrous butchery on¬ly shows the inhuman atmosphere cre¬ated by the business world’s nine-to-fiveexistence.This scurrilous Off-Broadway satiristdoes not stop here, though. With theflair of a true iconoclast, van Itallie sal¬lies forth to attack such revered institu¬ tions as politics and psychiatry. As theplay progresses one despondent appli¬cant seeks aid from a psychoanalyst. , iThe doctor’s words are profound. “Blahblah blah blah blah blah Hostile. Blahblah blah blah blah blah Penis. Blahblah blah blah blah blah Money.” Thelast statement made, of course with onehand extended.“Motel” is a short but devastating at¬tack upon American morality. The“masque” consists of a motel-keeperand a man and a woman, all bedeckedin papier mache costumes which givethe characters stiff, doll-like features.Overall America Hurrah is an exquis¬ite collection of plays wittily conceivedand meaningfully presented.Mr. Bryant is a student at the Collegeof the University of Chicago.t < i 11 . i - - , i • i • * *,< * i»*4 • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • January-February, 19681by Jeffrey Holden Schnitzer IVIn the fourth century B.C. Plato wasconcerned that men of action and menof thought were divided by a wideninggulf. Such a gulf caused him to ques¬tion the functions and purpose of theState. Plato concluded that the only fitrulers were those who were also philos¬ophers, rulers who could conceive of theultimate Good and apply it.Today we face much the same sort ofgulf in the United States. The questionposes itself almost automatically —Where are the men who can bridge thisgulf —at least in part?The politicians? Amid the greasy andrepugnant wallor of the Johnsons, Nix¬ons, Romneys, Wallaces and Reagans,amid that collection of caricatures whosomehow seem to have acquired flesh,there seems little choice. But in theminds of many, two men, Senators Mc¬Carthy and Kennedy, offer a choice thatis more pallatable. Both men have re¬cently published books that purport todeal with the difficulties facing theUnited States. Have they, in thesebooks, indicated capability of narrow¬ing the gulf?Unfortunately, both books reflect pol¬iticians, not statesmen. Both McCarthyand Kennedy smell something rotten inthe flatulent verbiage of the Great So¬ciety. But their olfactory nerves (andtheir nerve) operate only to a point.Both men criticize — but carefully.They seem too preoccupied with the ef¬fect of their words on future electionsto really “tell it like it is.” In languagefrequently almost reminiscent of, thoughcertainly more eloquent than Johnson’spseudo-populism, the senators counsela return to “basic American principles”— which are left undefined. Yet McCar¬thy and Kennedy recognize the irrele¬vance and the disastrous results ofmuch of the present rhetoric and policy.Both Senators, for example, aretroubled about Vietnam. Both doubt thatour real interests are deeply involvedand both accuse the present governmentof mishandling efforts at negotiations. TEXTS AND CONTEXTSMcCarthy, Kennedy or?McCarthy’s essay on Vietnam is unpar-donably skimpy; Kennedy’s is much bet¬ter documented and more thorough. In¬deed, after reading the Kennedy essay,it seems hard not to believe that theJohnson regime is either incrediblybumbling or just not sincerely interestedin peace.Yet, neither Senator examines theVietnamese question broadly althoughMcCarthy promises to do so; neitherman seriously considers whether w ehave any right to be in Vietnam in thefirst place, and both discuss the idea ofwithdrawal because it would be an aban¬donment of our “allies.” This dismissalis particularly galling in the Kennedytreatment since he goes to great lengthsto show just how unworthy and unrepre¬sentative, how venal and vicious ourSouth Vietnamese “allies” actually are.In a related area, both Kennedy andMcCarthy do an excellent job of de¬molishing the myths of China’s agres-siveness and present power and also ofavoiding the statement of a new Chinapolicy. They do, however, advisecaution.The senators argue that the Alliancefor progress should be made more ef¬fective—although cautioning against un¬due optimism or interference. We shouldsell fewer weapons to Latin Americaand “make it clear” that the UnitedStates is on the side of social reform.McCarthy’s main interest is to obtaina greater power in foreign policy deci¬sions for the Senate Foreign PolicyCommittee, of which he is a member.He constructs a loose and legalistic casefor this, which, in the end, seems ratherunconvincing in relation to either legalprecedent or present power concentra-Sound familiar?A Very Strange Society: A Journey tothe Heart of South Africa. By AllenDrury. Trident Press. $6.95.by Jean HolzhauerAllen Drury, whose major fame restson two of his four novels, Advise andConsent and Capable of Honor, here of¬fers a book that is part journalism, parttravelogue, and part political commen¬tary. A Very Strange Society is a me¬lange of newspaper clippings, personalinterviews, and records of conversationsbetween the author and the hundreds ofdiverse people—representing highly di¬versified viewpoints—during his journeythrough the Republic of South Africa.The very title is a quotation from oneof those interviewed:“Once a year I can entertain Themin my office,” said the young pro¬fessor in Pretoria. “I can serveThem tea, I can even shake handswith Them. We can at least try totalk to one another like human beings— once a year. The Governmentknows about it and doesn’t object.But I certainly can’t do any ofthese things any other time, or any¬where else.” He shook his head witha curiously wistful, quizzical smile.“We have,” he said, “a very strangesociety.”And strange it is, containing its tradi¬tional rivalry between Johannesburg andCape Town; between “European”(Dutch-, German-, and Huguenot) de¬scended), “Afrikaans,” English-de¬scended, Indian, Coloured (mulatto), and “Bantu” (the native blacks) factions; be¬tween the Government and virtually ev¬erybody else including a segment ofCommunist firebrands embarked on ap¬parently hopeless rebellion.The overriding atmosphere is one ofcaution, distrust and frustration; but Mr.Drury is a reasonably balanced reporter,and he comments in his preface:Many people talked t o me freely,many expressed themselves with amost generous confidence to a stran¬ger who might, for all they knew, goaway and publish their most candidthoughts to the world, together withtheir names. Their trust imposes anobligation to protect them, a n d so Ihave tried to do, for two reasons:there is decent discretion, and therei s the Government. The Governmenti s filled with charming people, butthe Government is t h e Government.Whether they are in it or out of it,your friends are all subject to theGovernment.The author records the large, some-,times gigantic efforts of that Govern¬ment on behalf of the Bantu: health ser¬vices, hospitalization, housing, evenchemical research resulting in turningthe popular Bantu beer into a nutri¬tionally perfect food. Nearly universalamong Government authorities who sup¬plied him with these facts was a feelingof resigned despair that the outsideworld, especially the United States andthe emergent African nations to the tion.The strong points of The Limitsof Power are McCarthy’s discussions ofMicronesia and of the sale of U. S. ar¬maments around the world. Micronesiais a United Nations Trust Territory inthe Pacific placed under the control ofthe United States after World War II.McCarthy documents the betrayal oftrust, that the United States has donenext to nothing to improve the miserablelot of the inhabitants of those islands.Forced into the problems of the twentiethcentury by the war, the inhabitants aredenied by our monumental indifferenceany of the benefits of the century or themeans to meet its problems. McCarthyalso documents how U. S. armamentsare callously abroad to benefit oureconomy and Defense Department, howsuch sale needlessly exacerbates worldtensions, and how it burdens the poor ofthe under-developed nations.The two above issues, however, hardlyseem to be the central dilemmas of ourtime. McCarthy barely mentions the“population explosion”; deplores it andsuggests that, when requested, we makebirth-control information availableKennedy’s book alone attempts to dealwith internal American questions. H esays the usual liberal things about ra¬cism and poverty, but he also detailssome imaginative programs to copewith these dilemmas. Central are hisideas of dealing with the decaying citiesand their ghettos. He wishes to en¬courage greater private industrial in¬vestment and the re-creation of smallcommunities within the cities. He em¬phasizes improvement rather than dese¬gregation of the ghettos. His ideas arewell documented and merit discussion. Whoever (certainly plural) it was thatwrote the Kennedy book did a fine jobof research, but the style ranges from -textbook dull to that variety of inflatedpassion expected in an RFK speech.Specific questions are handled thought¬fully, but more general areas often echothe dissonance of Time essays. In con¬trast, McCarthy’s effort seems thinly re¬searched and written, yet its tone ismore even and, somehow, carries moresincerity, perhaps because of its limits.Despite its title, McCarthy’s book hasno central theme. Kennedy (et al), onthe other hand, attempt to unify To SeekA Newer World w i t h a discussion o fyouth—he even quotes Bob Dylan. Ken¬nedy does a good job of dissectingmany of the ideas and emotions of youthand the implications of its attitudes. Ul¬timately, however, Kennedy fails to pro¬vide an inspiring or acceptable answerto youth’s questioning. His answer,though in a romantic garb of adventure,boils down to, “Follow me.” In Kenne¬dy’s book, his answers to problems arebis answers.Neither Kennedy nor McCarthy faceessential questions of value, althoughKennedy glances at them with occa¬sional quotes from the Great Books.Neither man examines the basic humansituations and ideals to any depth; nei¬ther attempts the political applicationof new or even modified basic valuesand goals to the changing realities thatappear the new constant of the future.Neither comes close to bridging the gulfthat so troubled Plato.Perhaps, this is too much to ask. Bothbooks are good, if limited, expositionsof intelligent and concerned liberalism,a cut above most similar efforts, andboth books, insofar as books are reliableindicators, evidence minds and spiritscertainly preferable to Lyndon Johnson.Mr. Schnitzer, presently a graduatestudent in the humanities at the Uni¬versity of Chicago, holds a B.A. inAmerican Civilization from Brandeis,has studied questions of value atPrinceton and Dartmouth, and, hav¬ing been in Moline, knows.north would accept these as evidencethat the Republic has done and is doingmore than other governments for itsdeprived blacks. And repeatedly Mr. Dru¬ry was reminded that the racial pro¬tests and riots of his own country areunknown in South Africa.Yet he also details other aspects of thesituation: the police network and courtsystem of “Jo’burg” which arrests andtries thousands of Bantu weekly for ap¬pearing on the streets after curfew orwithout passes; the difficulty and some¬times impossibility of blacks gettingtravel permission, even for purposes oftheir own education; the absolute policyof separation, which locates new villages(of reasonably adequate houses) far outon the veldt and necessitates inconven¬ient commuting to jobs or markets in thecity; the inequities of educational oppor¬tunity, employment, acceptance and sim¬ple personal mobility that characterizelife for the Bantu far more than for theAmerican Negro. More bewildering is the context of sus¬picion and fear surrounding the whiteand mulatto groups. This was repreated-ly explained to Mr. Drury as the productof their common need to survive amida black majority—and their habitual dis¬agreement as to how survival may beaccomplished. The extreme caution withwhich many whites answered Mr. Dru¬ry’s questions suggest to the Americanreader fictional projections of the futureby George Orwell and Anthony Burgess.The overall impression is of complexi¬ty greater than anything suggested inindividual news reports from Johannes¬burg or Cape Town.

Ran¬dom House, Inc. $5.95.by Kathleen Cummins“Show, don’t tell,” goes the old Crea¬tive Writing slogan. While this is anover simplication of the problems of fic¬tion-writing, it is true that it takes greatskill to make after-the-fact explanationscover for unilluminating actions.John O’Hara’s latest novel, The In¬strument, displays no such skill. Thatthe story is told from one point of viewshould guarantee some sort of unity, butO’Hara only superficially relates theseveral components of his hero’s prob¬lem.Yank Lucas is a playwright, and ac¬cording to the reports of his fellow char¬acters, a fairly good one. The reader,who never gets beyond his press releases,cannot know for sure. Yank is also over¬sexed. Fortunately for him, his contem¬poraries are all oversexed, too.

In a discus¬sion of the avant garde, or “new musi¬cians,” he clarifies the bop heritagethey enjoy and makes nostalgiccomments about the greatness of theirbop predecessors.At the outset of the book, Jones pre¬pares the field for the avant garde bytracing the achievements of the hoppers.The nearly legendary days at Minton’sare brought back to us in a vivid andexciting detail. What a contrast musi¬cians like Monk and Bird made with thesterile (now muzak) sound of the bigswing bands!Very conscious of an evolving jazzcontinuum, Jones sets aside an inter¬mediate space for the discussion of twomen he considers to be links between theold bop and the new music: Rollins andColtrane. Although their styles differedgreatly, the two men emerge before oureyes as innovators beginning to speak anew and strange language which almostsheds the overworked confines of theircommon mold. In doing so they bring toa logical conclusion all the musical pos¬sibilities of a vital and moving music.Just as Rollins and Coltrane signifythe glorious end of a tradition, Ornette6 • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • O’Hara’sconfusedcarnageerate independently of each other. One’ssensitivity and insight, as he cogentlytells Zena, has nothing to do with one’sability to love. Love, as his next conquestargues (wondrous how the UnderlyingTheme keeps cropping up in successivechance conversations) entails prejudice,of which Yank, with his authorial objec¬tivity, will never be capable. Elsewhere,his emotional impotence is chalked upto his empirical world-view. Love, likethought, is an abstraction—and Yank cau¬tiously confines his conclusions to theobvious. “Cogito ergo cogito” is as faras he will go.Such glib rationalizations do not evensatisfy our purely intellectual curiosityabout Yank, and all sympathy is preclud¬ed by his machine-like behavior. Thenovel is not an organic whole growingfrom Yank’s definitive actions.Since the action itself is without flavoror meaning; the plot must be constantlyinterrupted with commentary by OurSponsor O’Hara, or with blocks of scath¬ing self-analysis by Yank. Furthermore,while each character contributes his bitto the piece, each remains a bit—an in¬strument of some theme without recog¬nizable identity outside that context.Thus interaction of characters in thebook is too obviously not the intersection of whole personalities, but rather the as¬sembly of specialized parts.Thus all the virile, quippy dialog, allthe telling detail at O’Hara’s disposalproduce what is essentially only an aca¬demic tract on the dichotomy of loveand sex. But the tract is incomplete: O’¬Hara provides no counter statement toYank’s philosophy of detached sex. Forthe only expression of love in the book isthrough sex, and even Yank’s “deepest”relationship—with Zena—is founded ascasually and whimsically as all his oth¬ers.

He allowsthe solo to move freely within the “totalarea of its existence.”Cecil Taylor, Archie Shepp, Sonny Mur¬ray and the other more prominent newmusicians all seem to share Coleman’sfreedom, brilliantly opening up all thesolo possibilities of their respective in¬struments.Jones writes about the music of theseyoung men with great enthusiasm andempathy. He gives one the feeling thathe is truly talking from within the music.Supplying just enough “soul talk” to beconvincing and not platitudinous, hemoves us into a realm where only feel¬ings exist; here is a place of primordialbeauty—a place where all is united. Un¬happily, Jones seems to block our en¬trance when he says, “it is an unknownplace to the white man. . .a place whereblack people live.”If Jones entrances us with his descrip¬tions of the inner sanctum of the musicalconsciousness, he also disappoints uswith his reverse bigotry and pernicious“black bias.” He seems always ready toportray the white man as an insensitive,soulless monster or a pale lacklusterweakling. This attitude is most in evi¬dence in his final chapter entitled “TheChanging Scene,” where he discusses popmusic and R&B in relation to the newmusic. His name-calling here appears tome to reflect insufficient knowledge of the music in question. Rock and popmusic have developed far beyond hisnarrow conceptions of them. Certainlyimaginative groups like the Beatles andthe Rolling Stones deserve much morecredit than he has given them. Perhapsafter a greater exposure to pop music,its traditional origins and modern spon¬taneity, Mr. Jones will come to respectit as well as the new jazz music he soeloquently defends.Mr. Hart is a senior religion major atThe College of Wooster. But O’Hara, despite his one-sided pres¬entation of the problem, holds to his dualposition. Not content with merely ex¬posing Yank’s emotional lassitude, hesets up a Nemesis, Zena Gollum, toavenge it. Abandoned when Yank blith¬ely leaves the Broadway grind to pur¬sue his muse in Vermont, Zena commitssuicide, leaving an apt note: “DearYank: thanks for nothing.” Yank findshe is now shotgun-wedded to a commit¬ment he never wholeheartedly made;forced to assume responsibility for Zena’sdeath, the product of his irresponsibility.The chastisement of Yank’s unexplainedalienation is a silly gesture which mighthave been, nonetheless, a defensible res¬olution, had not O’Hara gone on to an¬nounce, almost as an afterthought, thatZena’s personality had permeated Yank’sawareness and caused his new play vir¬tually to write itself. By a subtle involu¬tion—one, in fact, that escaped this read¬er completely—the “creative impulses”that caused him to leave Zena so callous¬ly turn out to have been her “vibrations”all along. Yank is now an instrument oflove where once he had merely oiled hiscreativity with its secretions.This irony, never properly loaded, mis¬fires. By working hard to establishYank’s disaffiliation, and by having Ze¬na’s death follow hard upon the episodein which Yank reacts emotionally for thefirst time (the death of Bessie, that “fun¬ny, lewd girl” who epitomizes Yank’sblase ethic of joy without satiation),O’Hara undermines the effect of Yank’sreversal. The shock value of suicide can¬not lend sex a dimension of meaningwhich it lacked throughout the novel.After O’Hara’s brief, brash foray intochange of heart, his last line, “Unless,of course, he could find someone else,”hastily restores Yank to his unenlight¬ened state. But although O’Hara can re¬treat to strategic headquarters, he can¬not cover his tracks. The carnage of hisconfusion remains.Miss Cummins is a sophomore major¬ing in English at Mundelein College.&ft LiteraryMarketplace ftWE ACCEPT CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTSfor things desired or available; personal services;literary or publishing offers; miscellaneous Itemsof Interest to our readers.

Alfred A.Knopf. $4.50.by Lawrence M. HinmanApproaching Sartre’s adaption of Euri¬pides’ The Trojan Women presents vari¬ous kinds of problems. There are manyaspects of the relation between Sartreand Euripides to be clarified—both interms of their respective positions asplaywrights and then in regard to the re¬lation between the original of The Tro¬jan Women and Sartre’s adaption.To some extent, the problems of Sar¬tre’s play as a dramatic piece stem fromthe unwieldy character of the original.Moreover, the very endeavor of adapta¬tion presents problems to which Sartrehas addressed himself.These lead us into Sartre’s idea ofliterature—its function, especially in rela¬tion to the theme of The Trojan Women.It is with these problems that I shallconcern myself here.Sartre’s concern for the Greeks goesback to his early plays. Les Mouches,written during the Occupation, is cer¬tainly a treatment of the problems ofidentity and freedom. If we are to be¬lieve Mme de Beauvoir, it was also acommentary upon the current politicalsituation and a call to the freedom of theResistance. It is not surprising to findthis parallels Euripides’ “patriotic”plays, written during the war betweenAthens and Sparta, which attempted tosupport the rightness of the Pericleancause—a position that Euripides wouldlater abandon after seeing the injusticeon both sides. , , ,Euripides produced his trilogy, ofwhich The Trojan Women is the finalpiece, just before the launching of theSicilian Expedition. The pessimistic pre¬diction of this piece, that a great fleetwould wreck at sea just before the Athe¬nian fleet was to set sail, puts it forthas an incisive prediction of the futilityof the Athenian endeavor. That it waspresented under such circumstances isno less surprising than the production inFrance of Sartre’s Les Mouches duringthe Occupation. The parallels with ourown situation today are no less disturb¬ing. The force of such prediction leadsus to the question of why Sartre wrotethis adaption, to which I shall returnshortly.From a dramatic point of view, Sar¬tre’s adaptation (and Ronald Duncan’sEnglish version of it) have done muchto eliminate the ponderous and amor¬phous character of the original. Com¬pared to Euripides’ play, the adaptionhas a greater dramatic quality. Sartrerisks emaciating the original by eli¬minating those elements which hadserved to establish a rapport betweenEuripides and his audience but would to¬day demand at least a thorough histori¬cal and literary introduction. In place ofthis, Sartre consciously attempts to cre¬ate his context—one which would havebeen already present to any Greek audi¬ence. Thus the necessary background tothe myths is spelled out in the play, andthat which cannot be handled dramati¬cally is eliminated.The result is obviously a play intendedfor production, one which could be re¬ceived by its audience on their ownterms. Admitting this, we ask why thentake this play—why do an adaption of adifficult piece of Greek tragedy whenthe primary intention, to speak effectively What Sartre appears to be doing, andthis he again maintains is in the spiritof the original, is setting up what couldwell be called an anti-environment. Heviews Euripides as commenting upontraditional myths which were graduallylosing their binding power. To do this,Euripides draws upon a traditional storywith his own interpretation. He is, Sar¬tre says, “using a convention to destroya convention.” Sartre’s reasons fn- usingEuripides’ play would appear to befundamentally the same. He is attempt¬ing to create an anti-environment whichserves as a commentary on our own sit¬uation in order to criticize (or destroy)that environment.The method is fundamentally in ac¬cord with his own view of literature. InThe Words, he has told us why hewrites. “Culture doesn’t save anythingor anyone, it doesn’t justify. But it’s aproduct of man: he projects himself in mirror to examine our own reflection.As a reflection, Sartre’s adaptionemerges as a commentary on war. It isa condemnation in one sense, but not thecondemnation of an idealist. The toneof his position is well expressed in thefinal speech of Poseidon, as he prepareshis vengeance against those who havedestroyed Troy.Idiots!We’ll make you pay for this.You stupid, bestial mortalsMaking war, burning cities,violating tombs and temples,torturing your enemies,bringing suffering on yourselves.Can’t you seeWarWill kill you:All of you?What is important for understandingechoed outside the Chicago conferenceroom last year, while inside 33 experts —professors, lawyers, politicians, businessmen. generals — met in response to nation¬wide protests, to consider selective servicesystems and possible alternatives fromevery angle Based on that conference, thisbook is an indispensable background for aninformed discussion of the draft.THE DRAFTA Handbook of Factsand AlternativesEdited by Sol Tax$12.95 at bookstores, or fromUNIVERSITY OFCHICAGO PRESS5750 FHis Avenue. Chicago. Ill 60637 Sartre’s position here is not just whatPoseidon says, but what he does not say.War is condemned, yes. But what is thealternative? The play offers the imageof what we are—a people at war. Yetit does not say how things could beotherwise.This difficulty leads us into the heartof Sartre’s theme as well as into hisposition on literature and history. If lit¬erature mirrors us—in this case throughan examination of the past—then it doesnot offers solutions, simply presentsstates of affairs. For Sartre, the an¬swer literally remains to be workedout. The truth of any solution to theproblem of war lies in its ability toconcretize itself, to become embodied inhistory. A theoretical answer is no an¬swer by itself.Within this context, Sartre’s answerto the problem of war is simple: lookwhat it will do. “Can’t you see war willkill you: all of you?” We will be able todescribe a philosophy of freedom beyondthe domain of war only after we havein fact begun to live in this way. Onlyafter we have begun to live ourexistence beyond war can we intelligent¬ly describe what it is like. At presentall that is available is to look back—andaround—at the bitter alternative.Mr. Hinman is an instructor of philos¬ophy at Loyola University, Chicago.POETS IN PROGRESSCritical Prefaces to ThirteenModern American Poetsedited by Edward HungerfordA chapter devoted to each of thefollowing poets is included in thisaugmented reprint of Poets in Progress:Theodore Roethke, Robert Lowell,Stanley Kunitz, Richard Wilbur, RichardEberhart, W.

John Wiley and Sons.by S. Linda LeClairand S. Eileen JackA title linking such words as “cre¬ative”, “encounter”, “discovery” and“classroom”, leads the reader to expecteither a fresh approach to the education¬al process or just another creativity-bandwagon item. Authors Massialas andZevin achieve the former in suggestingan almost revolutionary revamping ofsecondary level education—one thatworks.Their three-year study, conducted intwo Chicago public high schools, pre¬sents a variety of “class sessions” em¬ploying the inquiry method of learningin which students arrive at conceptslargely through their own discussion,with the teacher taking an encouraging,but nondirective stance.Classroom episodes are planned andexecuted by the authors and several as¬sociate teachers to spur student inquiryfrom several directions, such as analysisand discovery.Analytical episodes generally follow aproblem to its possible solution in logicalsequence. One class of freshmen, study¬ing evolution, questions why no primateswere discovered in Australia. Instead ofanswering directly, the teacher tossesthe question back to his students. Withthis prod to think independently, thegroup poses theories, builds on these andeventually concludes that the Australiancontinent separated from Asia before pri¬mates evolved. LearningthatworksDiscovery episodes, though similar, re¬ly more on intuitive conjecture to precedeinductive problem-solving. A teacher pre¬sents various classes with unfamiliarartifacts, poetry, documents, and asksthem to identify the cultural origin. Theyhave no clues beyond the material itselfand their own knowledge. In these dis¬cussions the teacher provides the“springboard” and at times asks stu¬dents to verify statements. He answersno direct questions, but urges studentsto think on their own, emphasizing thatthere are no “right” or “wrong” an¬swers.Legitimating varied opinion proves tobe even more important in discussionsinvolving values. Cases of city bossismand Bad Samaritanism are springboardsfor two classes. Here the teacher canact as an equal participant in the debate,but more often chooses to be an observer.In a rational, open climate students feelfree to express personal opinion on con¬troversial topics.Such an experimental approach is aradical departure from the traditionalteacher - as - pool - of - knowledge -student - as - sponge classroom situation.Results of the authors’ study show ateacher’s role as nondirective, dialecticalrather than didactic, treating studentsas capable thinkers and playing the dev- of truth.The subject of the study, however, isnot only the teachers’ role. The authors'purpose reaches beyond to the basicfunction of secondary education: “totrain children and youth to become ra¬tional citizens in a pluralistic society. . .(The student should become) one whocan think for himself, one who can usethe methods of disciplined inquiry toexplore concepts in various domains ofknowledge and in the world aroundhim.” Their primary concern is how toinspire creative thinking and generatean enthusiasm for learning in highschool students.That Massialas’ and Zevin’s inquirymethod succeeds is proven by carefulanalysis of statistics, but more effective¬ly by students’ written reaction. Theenthusiasm the program generates inaverage, above-average and below-aver-age students is typified by these tworesponses: . .1 have become a ques¬tioner and not just a believer. . .In thefuture, all my reading will be done withthoughtful constructive questioning. Iwill determine for myself what is trueand what is not.” “All in all, I feltthis a very ‘relaxing’ course. Not relax¬ing in view of laziness, but relaxing in that the mind has a chance to loosenits muscles and widen its scope for afurther, different type of learning.”Massialas and Zevin use the same ap¬proach in presenting their study as theyused with their students and achievemuch the same result. Episodes in thebook are presented with a brief intro¬duction giving background on the stu¬dents involved and the purpose of theparticular incident. Since extensive an¬alysis is left to the end of each episode,the reader makes his own discoveryabout the inquiry process while followingstudent discussion, and assesses the val¬ue of the method for himself. The en¬thusiasm of creative thinking is as in¬fectious to the reader as to the studentsin the classes.The study is well-supported by thefirst-hand evidence of the authors, theirtapes and transcriptions of student dis¬cussions. And analysis proves both theindividual episodes and the three-yearstudy successful.But in one sense the information isincomplete. Though the inquiry processworks for varied fields of knowledge,little information is given about the socio¬economic or ethnic backgrounds of thestudents. The authors, in an admissioncharacteristic of their “model” teachers,concede this lack and invite further re¬search.Sister Linda LeClair is a second-yearstudent at Clarke College, Dubuque,Iowa.

Publishedin 1821, it has never before been producedin England or the United States, althoughit has been done in Russia and West Ger¬many. Due to its frank handling of a con¬troversial subject its mere publication cre¬ated scandals in England. Byron, not wellknown as a playwright, was part of a re¬form movement against the historionics ofromantic drama. He called his plays “ex¬periments in mental theatre,” the purposeof which was to make the audience think.For this reason, some critics have saidthat Byron is the most important forerun¬ner of modern drama.This production was conceived by Jer¬ome McGann of the English departmentand Virgil Burnett of the Art department.Until about twenty years ago it had beenthought, on the basis of Byron’s own pro¬nouncements, that his plays were notmeant to be staged. However with the dis¬covery of some of his letters, it was re¬vealed that this was only due to his fearof their bad reception (which in fact theyhad). McGann says “It’s never been doneand it’s such a good play.”But this is an understatement. The playis great: the subject matter is highly sig¬nificant and universal, the dialogue is com¬pelling, and the use of language is superb.The plot follows the temptation of Cainand finally the murder of his brother Abel.But it is more than a simple retelling ofthe story. It discusses everything fromGod’s and Lucifer’s “personal problems”to man’s relationship to them and to him¬self.The cast consists of students, faculty andseveral of their friends. Little more can be said about each performer other thanthey are all very fine. Arthur Morey playsCain — a young man torn by all the doubtsthat man has about God and himself andburdened by the sin of his parents. Nicho¬las Rudall is Lucifer — troubled by beingsecond to God, he is undoubtedly the ulti¬mate evil, yet his arguments are highlyconvincing. James O’Reilly and JudithPownall play Adam and Eve — each re¬acting to their sin differently. Rob Allen,as Adam, is convincing in her innocenceand belief in love, as is Thomas Jordan asthe pious Abel.The idea of using Rockefeller Chapelwas excellent. The chapel, with the help ofthe music, provides the proper religiousmood and allows for interesting effects.The seating arrangement maintains an in¬timate contact between the actors and theaudience. Nicholas Rudall’s direction wasimaginitive, the costumes and lightingwere exceptional; the well integrated pro¬duction did an excellent job of presentingthis obscure Byron play — and this obscur¬ity, perhaps, is the most incredible thingabout it. Byron’s psychological insights areamazing for 1821 (or 1968). He succeeds inmaking the audience think the play is atleast as relevant today as when it waswritten, and yet it remains relatively un¬known.I suddenly realize that this reviewsounds like an advertisement — both forByron and U.T. But in fact I could findlittle of significance at fault in the produc¬tion. And, in a way, this is an advertise¬ment — an advertisement for good theater.Mr. McGann and Mr. Burnett have ex¬pressed a desire to produce more dramaof this type, and I am eager to see theirfuture ventures.MICHAEL YOUNGNext week: a review of MANKIND Club and at the door.JMusicThe Fromm Music Foundation, in col¬laboration with the Department of Music,will present the Contemporary ChamberPlayers premierring four works by StefanWolpe, at 8:30 in Mandel Hall.

This effect is usually rather diffi¬cult but Kilby is left-handed and themovement is more natural to him.Once, a musicologist asked JosephSpence about a song he had learned froman American hymnal, Harmony Heaven.“Can you read music, Spence?” (Every¬one, even his wife and sister, called himSpence.)“No, I cannot read music.”“How did you learn this song?”“From this book, man. There’s a lot offunny songs in this book. Lot of funnysongs.”“But if you can’t read notes, how didyou learn the melody to this song?”“I’s talented.”Joseph Spence is known in Nassau asan all-around eccentric and the best gui¬tar player around. He loves to make mus*ic, and to make it with friends, or reallyanybody who will listen.His creative, highly unorthodox guitarstyle tries to create, along with his voice,the two-four part harmony of Bahamansongs. When he plays, he laughs andgrins, punctuating his music with occa¬sional grunts, humming and foot-tapping.The songs he sings are Bahaman music,which developed into a distinct and almostundescribable style about the same timeas the Negro spiritual evolved on themainland.The BluesThe blues have become fantasticallypopular in the past five years. Chica¬go bluesmen such as Howlin’ Wolf tourEurope as well as this country. Their rec¬ords are now bought just as eagerly bylarge numbers of white college studentsas by the older Negro audience thatup until a few years ago were just aboutthe only ones who had heard of JohnnyShines and Bukka White. But these musi¬cians, who will represent the blues at theFoik Festival, go farther back than therecent boom.Bukka White plays in the oldest bluesstyle represented in the festival. He re¬corded in the 30’s, and then went intooblivion until 1963 when he was “rediscov¬ered” by two of the new young blues en¬thusiasts. He plays country blues, theblues of the poor southern farmer and la¬borer, but the power of his early recordsis so great that one of them, “Fixin’ toDie Blues”, has been recorded by artists as far apart as the San Francisco rockgroup Country Joe and the Fish and thefolksinger Dave Van Ronk.Like White, Johnny Shines often playguitar in the “bottleneck”, open tuningstyle, and the two men show their rootsin the Mississippi Blues. Johnny Shinesreflects the influence of the legendaryMississippi Delta bluesman Robert John¬son. Shines and harpist Big Shakey Walterwho often plays in his band mix much ofthe feel of various Chicago blues styles.With men like Howlin’ Wolf, the Chica¬go Blues comes into its own. Wolf-comesfrom Mississippi (something about thatstate sure gave its Negro citizens theblues). Beginning in the late fifties, hestarted his great Chicago blues band, fea¬turing at various times guitarists BuddyGuy, Freddy King, and now Hubert Sum-lin. Howlin’ Wolf is a master of differentblues, from the one chord groove of“Smokestack Lightning” to his experi¬ments with Latin rhythms in blues suchas “I’m Built for Comfort, Not for Speed”and “I’m Three-Hundred Pounds of Hea¬venly Joy” (as anyone who sees the“Mighty Wolf” in person can see for him¬self).The wide repertoire of musical stylesperformed by banjo-picker and guitaristJohn Jackson makes it difficult to grouphim with any single folk tradition. Al¬though he personally prefers singing andplaying the music of the blues of the twen¬ties and thirties, he is equally competentin styles that range from country dancetunes to interpretations of Jimmie Rod¬gers songs.Jackson was born in RappahannockCounty, Virginia in 1929. Dances, houseparties (at which his father frequentlysang), field hollers and church singingwere integral elements of the communitylife where Jackson was raised. As hegrew up, John, too, frequently performedat such community functions. Modern me¬dia early intruded upon the indigenousmusic of the area: much of Jackson’s rep¬ertoire derives from the influence of thevictrola and blues records his father pur¬chased from a door to door salesmanwhen John was six. Thus Jackson wassoon familiar with the music of BlindLemon Jefferson, Blind Blake, Blind BoyFuller and Jimmie Rodgers.Never a “professional” performer, Jack-son earned his living through a variety ofjobs, including terms as houseman, chauf¬feur, caretaker, janitor, and gravedigger.His “discovery” as a folk performer cametotally accidentally in 1964. Jackson wassitting inside a service station in Fairfax,Virginia, playing his guitar, when itiner¬ant folklorest Chuck Perdue drove up tofill his car and, struck by Jackson’stalent, stayed to listen.This article was prepared for WEEK¬END by the Folklore Society.

Thecommittee explored both formaland informal aspects of relation¬ships among students and faculty,with emphasis on the student rolein the consultative and decision¬making processes of the univer¬sity. After soliciting opinions frommany sources, after many meet¬ings, the committee produced thePage Report, which it submittedto the Council of the Senate ofthe University.We believe that the response toto the Council of the Senate ofthe University.We believe that the response tothe Page Committee Report hasbeen highly inadequate. Hardlyany steps have been taken to im¬prove the situation that led to thecreation of the Page Committee,namely “the need that many stu¬dents feel for improved commun¬ications between students and fa¬culty” and the “desire to shareactual responsibility for makingdecisions”.THE REPORT itself includedmany recommendations and sug¬gestions. It was asserted at theoutset that communication on abroad level should be the generalrule; that mechanisms should beestablished by which studentscould express judgment on anyissue; that relevant informationshould be made available to allinterested groups in advance ofthe decision; and that, as a rule,meetings should be open to allinterested parties.To our knowledge, these recom¬mendations have not beem” im¬plemented. The Page Report it¬self was considered and voted onwithout the kind of public dis¬cussion we regard as essentialwhen matters of importance tostudents are considered.

We be¬lieve secrecy in decision-makingto be harmful to any “commun¬ity”, especially to an institutiondedicated to free and open in¬quiry and rational discussion.IN DEALING with campus pro¬blems, the report recommendedthe formation of a Standing Com¬mittee of Student Affairs, com¬posed of students and faculty inequal numbers and that “in thosematters in which students aremost affected and most compe¬tent, this committee would estab¬lish policy. . . .” A Committeeon Student Life has been estab¬lished, but its role will be purelyadvisory. Our own experience hasshown that a group whose powersare solely advisory is easy toignore. We believe that the Com¬mittee on Student Life should es¬tablish policy on matters thatmost directly affect students.In dealing with problems thataffect the University and the var¬ious communities (neighborhood,city, Federal Government) withwhich it interacts, we recommend¬ed that the already establishedcommittees consult with students,that student involvement in suchissues be encouraged, and that“students should be members ofcurrent and future faculty com¬mittees concerned with such mat¬ters as student housing, studentfacilities and student aspects ofuniversity expansion”. To ourknowledge, little progress hasbeen made in this area. For ex¬ample, students were not, so faras we know, involved in the de¬cisions taken with regard toBarat College.IN DISCUSSING academic af¬fairs, the Committee recommend-NOTICE!The Reynolds Club Bar¬bershop will be closedSaturdays beginning Feb.I, to conform with newregulations of the FairLabor Standards Act.

These recommendations in¬cluded a number of suggestionsfor student participation in theconsultative and decision-makingprocesses of the department. Wehad hoped that by the end ofAutumn Quarter, many depart¬ments would have conducted suchreviews, and that many experi¬ments and innovations would bynow have been initiated. Hardlyany academic units in the Uni¬versity have conducted such re¬views.Finally, suggestions were madefor improving informal relationsamong students and faculty.Most of these have not been im¬plemented.PERHAPS EVEN more seriousthan the lack of implementationof our report has been the ab¬sence of discussion of the issuesit raised. The report itself hasreceived only minimal circulationamong-students and faculty; mostmembers of the University areunaware of its existence or con¬tents. We call on the UniversityAdministration to give wide dis¬tribution of the text of the report and its appendices, and to en¬courage and stimulate the fulldiscussion throughout the Univer¬sity that the report deserves. Itsrecommendations affect many as¬pects of student life, and shouldbe widely discussed and debated.In addition, we call on theCouncil of the Senate to give ac¬tual decision-making power insome areas to the Committee onStudent Life, and to rescind itsrecent decision against openness.We call on each department oracademic unit to review with itsstudents, student-faculty relationswithin the department. We callon students to take the initiativein conducting such a review, indepartments where the facultydoes not act.JEFF BLUM, ’68WARREN COATES, Jr.Dept, of EconomicsDAVID GREENBERGDept, of PhysicsJERRY HYMANDept, of AnthropologyBOB SANDYLaw School(Editor's note: The authorsare the students who served onthe Committee on Student-Faculty Relationships, chairedby Dr. Robert G.

The For¬esters nipped the University onDecember 9 at Lake Forest by asingle point.All six Chicago varsity sportswill, in fact, be active tomorrow.The track team, fresh from dou¬ble victories over DePaul and Mc-Master Universities last Friday,takes on Northwestern Universityat home at 12:30 p.m. in the fieldhouse.Coach Ted Haydon, who is alsoin charge of the University crosscountry team, predicted that Chi¬cago will win at least a few events but felt that the Big Ten Northwest¬ern squad would prove too power¬ful for the Maroons to handle.The wrestling squad will opposeConcordia Teachers’ College at1:30 in Bartlett Gym tomorrow. Inaction last weekend, the grapplersdropped meets to Knox and IowaWesleyan as the team was forcedto forfeit a total of five matches.In those meets both Ted Petersenand Steve Biggs scored double vic¬tories, while Jim Capser split histwo events.Other Road GamesAway action, in addition to thebasketball game, will see the swimteam playing a triple meet withRockford and Wheaton Colleges atRockford, and the gymnasticsteam continuing its season with ameet against Wisconsin State Uni¬ versity at Whitewater, Wisconsin.The University fencing team willopen its regular season scheduletomorrow, facing Cleveland Stateand Wayne State Universities inDetroit.Highlighting the swim teams’ 61-43 victory over the Great LakesNaval Training Institute last Sat¬urday was Steve Larrick’s record-smashing performance in the 100yard freestyle.

S.District Court judge here for re¬fusing to be drafted.In imposing the maximum sen¬tence, denying Fallon an appealbond, Judge James B. Parsons toldthe defendent: “Your attitude is much moredangerous than a person who liesto his draft board and then admitshe lied. I consider your explana¬tions immature and totally uncom¬prehending of the problems whichface the nation.”Fallon told the court that in re¬fusing to appear for induction lastJuly 21, he was following his “con¬science over the dictates of the state. . I’ve found it necessary torelinquish my safe position of draftdeferment since the governmentwas acting in my name in what’sgoing on in Vietnam.”Fallon, 21, who is married andexpects to become a father inApril, had been classified 3-A, butrequested 1-A classification, mak¬ing him first in line for the draft.CalendarPersons or organizations - wishing to an¬nounce events must type information onCalendar forms available at The MaroonOffice, Ida Noyes 303.
