The suspensions are effect¬ive through the end of the SpringQuarter.According to an administrationspokesman, the students’ odd be¬havior quickly came to the atten¬tion of the Hitchcock assistant res¬ident head where the two menlived, when the three wandered in¬to the room of an assistant resi¬dent head early in the morning,completely out of control. They ad¬mitted using various drugs to theUniversity’s disciplinary Commit¬tee. 70 — spoke to George Stigler,Charles R. Walgreen DistinguishedService Professor of the depart¬ment of economics and spokesmanfor the Council, in the hall in frontof the meeting room. Rothkrugasked him to convey to the Coun¬cil the students’ request.Stigler answered that the deci¬sion to bar students from the meet¬ing had been made by the Com¬mittee of the Council the week be¬fore. He also stated that the coun¬cil would probably not act immed¬iately on the Goldsmith report, cit¬ing a provision in the Council’sconstitution which prohibits immed¬iate action on controversial mat¬ters.If and When“However,” Stigler stated, “ifand when the University announcesit is severing with IDA, it will bedone immediately.” Stigler told thestudents that all the preparationshave been made and that relationswith IDA could be severed immed¬iately following any decision.To this Rothkrug replied, “Thewar goes on. That war is killingpeople every day, and the delay inreversing their present stand con¬stitutes continued support of thewar.”Rothkrug suggested that thequestion of student observance bediscussed at the meeting and thata voice vote be taken. Stigler saidthat he would see whether a Coun¬cil member wanted to initiate sucha motion before the meeting. Whenasked to initiate the motion him¬ self, Stigler refused and re-enteredthe meeting.Subsequently, Dean of the Col¬lege Wayne C. Booth emerged andasked the protesters to be quiet,explaining that the Council wasdebating whether to admit a stu¬dent to the meeting and that thestudents were prejudicing theirown case.No InvitationBooth re-emerged a few minuteslater and announced, “The issue ofyour admittance has been raisedand support has not been adequate.You are not invited in.”Christopher Hobson of SDS, wholater claimed that he thought Boothhad said “You are now invited in,”passed through the door in frontof Booth, who stopped him and re¬peated,“You are NOT invited in”and shut the door.The crowd then diminished toabout 25 as the protesters left thehall to go back to the room theyhad reserved. There SDS memberMiles Mogelescu deplored theCouncil’s decision to bar studentsfrom the meeting.Mogelescu cut his speech short“since the masses aren’t here.”He announced that they would dis¬pense with the planned readingsfrom the Congressional record.Commenting on the turnout forthe protest, Steve Rothkrug saidhe was “disappointed but not sur¬prised.” He attributed the smallshowing, to low key' publicity, thecold, and the class time schedulingof the protest. By CAROLINE HECKStaff WriterThe Committee of the Council ofthe Academic Senate, meetingwith the Council on Tuesday, en¬dorsed the report of the GoldsmithCommittee calling for Universitywithdrawal from the Institute forDefense Analysis (IDA).The Council is expected to makea definite decision on Chicago’smembership in (IDA) at its nextmeeting on March 12.President Beadle appointed theGoldsmith Committee last Octoberto investigate the University’s re¬lationship with IDA. His action fol¬lowed student charges that in¬volvement in IDA constituted aidto the war effort in Vietnam.According to Julian R. Gold¬smith, chairman of the Depart¬ment of Geophysical Sciences andchairman of the investigatingCommittee, the report expressedthe unanimous opinion of the entireCommittee.‘No Moral Judgment’The report emphasizes that itsrecommendations represented nopolitical or moral judgment ofIDA. The Committee is “not con¬cerned with IDA’s stance, be itthat of hawk, dove, or dodo” norwas it passing any judgment on a“currently unpopular war,” itstates.The Committee based its deci¬sion rather on the fact that thebenefits the University and IDAgain from one another are dub¬ious, that “the University neithergains from nor contributes in anyreal sense to IDA.”The days of Ida Noyes Hall asa community gathering place maybe numbered. Since Monday night,security guards have been sta¬tioned at both entrances to thestudent center with instructions todemand student ID’s from everyone who attempts to enter.The two guards, one a campussecurity agent and one a guardhired from the Interstate SecurityAgency, were taken from theirformer rounds and reassigned toguard the doors.According to Dean of StudentsCharles O’Connell, the measuresgo into effect at 8 p.m. each nightalthough a non-student may stillenter as a guest of a Universitystudent if that student signs himin.“We’re depending on students toonly bring in people who are real¬ly their guests,” said Director ofStudent Activities Skip Landt, “andnot bring in people who are wait¬ing outside for someone to signthem in.” See the full text of the re¬port of the Goldsmith Commit¬tee on Pages 2 and 3. Thereis an editorial on Page 4.mmmMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm“the University doesn’t have anyreal knowledge of what IDA is do¬ing. A skeptic might say thatsome of the arguments by IDAprotagonists amount to pleadingfor the support of and for blindfaith in an organization ofunknown virtue.”IDA is a research institutewhose objective, according to itscharter, is “to promote the nation¬al security, the public welfare,and the advancement of scientificlearning by making analyses, eval¬uations and reports on matters ofinterest to the United Statesgovernment.”IDA does most of its work forand is financed primarily by theDefense Department.Joined in 1961The University joined the Insti¬tute in 1961. The other universitymembers are Caltech, Case Insti¬tute of Technology, MIT, Stanford,Tulane, Columbia, PennsylvaniaState, the University of Michigan,Princeton, the University of Illi¬nois, and the University ofCalifornia.The Goldsmith Report acknow¬ledged the student initiation of theinvestigation, stating that “theCommittee would like to commendthe students who have brought thismatter to the attention of the Uni¬versity.” Students, however, werenot allowed to participate in orSee editorial on Page 4Landt said there was an unstatedthreat to allow only registered stu¬dents into Ida Noyes if the newregulations are violated.According to Landt, the restric¬tions are aimed at high school stu¬dents and residents of Woodlawnwho are just “hanging around IdaNoyes hall.” Landt denied that themove was part of a larger attemptby the University administrationto keep non-students off campus.At present, students who comein without their ID cards are askedto sign in and told to remembertheir ID cards in the future.“We’re trying to train people tocarry their ID cards,” Landt said.Landt said that non-students whocome to Ida Noyes or the Band-ersnatch to wait for Universityj friends will be asked to wait out-Iside.

(It was ten of twelve and the Gar¬goyle opens at noon.) Unable to wait theten minutes, and evidently in a state ofnear delirium due to the acidic Mr. G’sgrapefruit on any empty stomach, wewent into the C Shop, cattycorner across57th street from the Disciples of ChristChurch, where the Gargoyle is. It is per¬haps impossible to accurately describethe food in the C Shop. The only thingsthat come to mind are words like repul¬sive, repugnant, and revolting. Also eme¬tic tepid, fetid, rancid, palid, carminative,shitty, ordurous, rank, noxious, and loath¬some. There is hardly anything nice youcan say about the C Shop. There is cer¬tainly nothing nice you can say about itwithin an hour of when you get up in themorning.Meanwhile the Gargoyle is doing fan¬tastically. They have certain things toiron out, such as getting enough food forthe starving hordes, but the Gargoylepeople are amateurs (which is the bestthing about the place) and it will taketime before they can get the coffee shoprunning smoothly. We are sure it wouldencourage them if everyone went overthere to see how great a place it is .WeI HAVE NOT read “In Cold Blood”, andthus have not been frozen into the normalreviewer syndrome of comparing movie tobook. This freed me to enjoy the movie. Idid enjoy it as a movie, an enjoyment thatoutlasted both a reading of Truman Ca¬pote’s notes on the filming of the book andRanata Adler’s criticism. Perhaps this isbecause my critical assumptions are few:eg., it’s hard to make a bad movie; andwhat did the director do, rather than notdo.This is a director’s movie, not in thesense that it is an auteur’s movie—themeaning demands its own technique, onethat will not cram itself into the world ofa Hitchcock or Hawks. Richard Brooks,saw himself forced to create a world inwhich a mechanism is itself an actor inthe film an irrevocable worldview inwhich fates intertwine lives by countingfeet of film, cutting, splicing. If not thedirector, the editor becomes God in thismovie. No actor will be well enough knownto impinge on or overflow into the mech¬anism. The syndrome is familiar: hardedges, all sounds in treble, predominanceof quick cuts, black and white seemingfactuality, the mechanism of splicing dom¬inating human action by irreverently guil¬lotining them in mid-action. All of this isfamiliar, the documentary style whichheightens the process and shoves charact¬er into the background by its very demandfor another hard-edged cut. Brooks seemsto be saying that it is inevitable, that boththe Clutters and their murderers arecaught in the same mechanism. Indeed inthe first half of the movie as the cameratraces the Clutter family’s fatal dayBrooks blatantly intertwines the lives ofthe murders and their victims. Mr. Clutterputs water on face — Perry Smith puttingface in washbowl. A Clutter picks up aphone — cut to Perry connecting withthem by picking up phone. The directorplays God, fate, mechanism.What is wrong here? The description sofar is true but obvious. Is this all Brooksis doing, making a taut, black and whitedocumentary, therefore a “real” movie?Truman Capote, in an article in the Satur¬day Evening Post would have us believethis:All art is composed of selected detaileither imaginary, or, as in In ColdBlood, a distillation of reality. As with are also sure it would encourage you.Elsewhere the New Old-Fashioned Ba-rogue Compass Players (at the HarperTheater Coffee House) are offering one ofthe larger bargains in Hyde Park. For adollar you can spend hours watching fivefunny actors enjoy themselves by amusingyou with sketches and improvisations.When, occasionally, something isn’t funnythe audience relishes groaning audibly al¬most as much it does laughing.The improvisations develop from theaudience’s suggestions for scene. Not ev¬erything goes over, some things are toodrawn out, but when the mood is right thejokes are hilarious, and the Players, whoalternate with a midnight bluegrass bandand loud taped rock, provide a very enter¬taining evening. They are at the CoffeeHouse Friday and Saturday nights fromabout 9:30. If you want to sit through allsets—each is different—no one will giveyou dirty looks.TheaterUniversity Theater will stage Euripides,classic anti-war drama The Trojan Wom¬en tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday in Man-del Hall.The production will be directed byJames O’Reilly and will also feature ori¬ginal percussion and musical arrange¬ments by Richard Wernick.Playing the lead role of Queen Hecubathe book, so with the film — exceptthat I had chosen my details from life,while Brooks had distilled his from mybook: reality twice transposed, and allthe truer for it.Some snotty “no’s” to that one. Selecteddetail doubly distilled reverses form andbecomes parody. Who says hard-focusblack and white is reality? I don’t have20-20 vision like a camera and I alwayssee in technicolor. Merely film history andthe symbolic language developed throughfilm history tell me that black and whitedocumentary style is in verisimilarity tolife. Brooks consciously overuses this con¬vention, pushed it to the point of reversalof form. Further, I must add that his in¬sertion of an all-knowing journalist whoactually says out loud for all to hear the‘lessons’ of the film, and a young, wide-eyed, easily-shocked, cub-reporter whokeeps asking “Why?” “How many aregoing to die like this?” are double distil¬lations of a long process of questioningand understanding that went on during along period of time. Here they appear ascamp figures.In fact, almost every character in thepicture is thus doubly distilled — two di¬mensional pop figures. What is Brooks do¬ing? He has used documentary style and2D figures to over-define the irrevocabilityin the world. He must have a mind likePopContinued from Page Oneas some people think. Bacall’s reason forcoming to Martinique in To Have andHave Not (Hawks) is the same as Mar-lena Dietrich’s for coming the Shanghai inthe Shanghai Express (Von Stermberg) —to buy a new hat.But the “B” movie is dying. This is part¬ly due to the age of the directors who cre¬ated them. The films they made weregeared to audiences who frequently wentto movies and to whom moviegoing wasnot an event but a habit. It was also de¬pendent on mass support upon its pricestructure. While it is conceivable to paya dollar to see a Western, it is not easy tospend two and half dollars unless you arepromised something special.

The rest of the cast is JoelCope, Linda Spaet, Joan Mankin, Euge¬nie Ross, and Leonard Kraft. A multi¬voice Greek chorus will perform underthe direction of Annette Fern.O’Reilly says, discussing the play, “I’vetried in the last couple of years to, as anartist, quietly protest my attitude aboutthe war, and I’ve done it in the theater.I did The Hostage, for example, and Ly-sistrada, but in The Trojan Women I thinkEuripides has written the most beautifulanti-war play ever written.”The performance will begin at 8:30 eachnight. Tickets are $1.50 for Friday, $2.00Saturday, and $1.25 for the finale perfor¬mance.The Last Stage, the community theatergroup that was urban-removed out of itsold quarters last year, has at last founda new stage—at the Harper Theater. Theyare now casting for Tennesee William’sGlass Menagerie. If you are interested,go to the Harper Theater (5238 Harper)Saturday or Sunday between 2 and 5 p.m.(If you can’t make it then call AT 5-4816,evenings.) The production will be directedby Sid Passin. It will play at the Harperfrom March 22 through April 14.Unamuno, who thought that the only wayto understand life was to kill it and dis¬sect it. Brooks has killed it, boxed it, andcategorized it on the cutting floor, difin-itized it on a treble sound track, and toldus, “this is black and white documentary,therefore the world we live in — isn’t itnice and two-dimensional!”This is brilliant, because he knows itisn’t so! The real tension in the film is thereduction of the 3D lives of the killers to2D by a conspiracy of director and theactors. Reduced, the tension is betweenflow and mechanics. Brooks ends by let¬ting conventional documentary win, ofcourse. The non-fit of their lives into 2Dpatterns, yet being forced to conform tobe understood at all, must have been theway they really felt.Brooks is masterly here. He almost al¬lows the killers to overflow the medium.Notice for example that Perry Smith’s lifeis really in technicolor. His yellow bird,evocations of Mexican sunshine and Cor¬tez’ gold and the sand of the seashore —threaten the screen with color. He livedhis life in technicolor while the moviegoes relentlessly on in black and white.After a while I began to think that thiswas the first black and white technicolormovie I’ve seen.MAURICE FARGEion, which most reviewers regard as free.What has changed is the quality of theproduct. There are simply too few decentdirectors working for TV.Strangely enought, it is the “C” moviethat has the best chance of survival. Forone thing, their limited budget has per¬mitted a smaller run.

The Committee is notconcerned with IDA’s stance, be it that of hawk, dove ordodo.”If we are pleased with the conclusion of the Gold¬smith Committee’s celebrated report urging Chicago’swithdrawal from the Institute for Defense Analyses, weare saddened by the reasoning on which the conclusionwas based.That reasoning stems from an earlier report on “TheRole of the University in Political and Social Action” by |a committee under Professor of Law Harry Kalven which jasserted that the University must remain neutral in mostipolitical and social relations in order to preserve its free¬dom of inquiry; only when the existence of the Univer¬sity itself is threatened may it turn political activist.As the Goldsmith Committee put it, “The nature ofthe IDA association is not unrelated to considerationsexpressed in the report of the Kalven Committee.” Fur¬ther, “It could be argued that the only reason for associa¬tion with IDA in a real sense would be because of a feel¬ing of corporate responsibility for the national welfare”(in a society that permits academic freedom to flourish),but this argument is rejected because there is no realinteraction between IDA and Chicago as corporate insti¬tution. If Chicago’s ties with IDA are severed, this willtake place because IDA is now an established organiza¬tion and a formal association of universities is, in theCommittee’s opinion, unnecessary.The University is careful to raise no protest againstVietnam war it has tacitly approved of. It maintains itsdeposits in the Continental Illinois Bank. We wonderwhether, if Chicago had held stock in I. G. Farben backin the 40’s, it would have abstained from making a moraljudgment then. This is hardly corporate responsibility, jIAnother IdaSecurity measures recently initiated at Ida Noyes 'Hall resemble the famous horse that was put together by ja committee. When they were through, the horse hadbecome a camel, as have the new rules.They ostensibly are designed to keep Ida Noyes openonly to students, faculty, and staff of the University, to¬gether with their guests and any people from the sur¬rounding community who want to attend any of thenumerous meetings that take place in Ida. Worse yet, therules about closing Ida go into effect only after mostpeople have entered it — at 8 p.m.The net effect of the measures is noticeably to in¬crease the irritability of the students, faculty, and othersallowed into the Hall, not to mention those who are ban¬ned, and to do this without increasing to any noticeableextent the security of the building.The case for stronger security measures at Ida hasyet to be made convincingly. Two policemen stationed inthe building have had no trouble with outsiders, and evenwhen mutually hostile Woodlawn groups meet in Ida theyrespect the peacefulness of the place. In view of the lackof student desire to be “protected” and the apparent lackof need for protection, we suggest that whoever is respon¬sible publicly defend the institution of restricted entranceto Ida Noyes Hall. 'Thanks - /, prefer to eat alone.'K/lMMt-VJOHN MOSCOWCouncil and Maroon:mmEasy to Suppress NewsFirst, a bit of background—It was known for a long timethat the report of the GoldsmithCommittee would be submitted tothe Council of the University Sen¬ate at its meeting Tuesday after¬noon. Desiring to have a reporterfor the Maroon present at themeeting, I had a letter sent to theSpokesman of the Council and theSecretary of the Faculties (Profes¬sor George J. Stigler and Dean of jStudents Charles D. O’Connell re¬spectively), requesting permissionfor a reporter to attend. I receivedan unofficial statement from DeanO’Connell saying that he doubtedit would be possible, but that hecould not speak for the Council. Nofurther reply was ever made.The night before the meeting Irequested that a few members ofthe Council ask that body if itwould release a copy of the Gold¬smith Committee report to TheMaroon upon conclusion of theirmeeting, or at least in time for theFriday issue of the paper.IT HAS BEEN impossible to as¬certain what form the debate took,due to a strict rule of secrecy.Thanks to the kindness of somemembers of the Council I was able,nonetheless, to find out that thequestion of distribution of the re¬port was discussed.It was decided that the Gold¬smith Committee report would bepublished in the University-Record.No date was set in the resolution, but it was further decided that thereport would not be made public juntil the Record was issued. Ma-:roon requests that it be given a jcopy of the report for the Friday |paper were ignored until it was |decided that the report would beissued Thursday, later changed toWednesday.NO OFFICIAL action was ever jtaken on the request by The Ma- 'roon that it receive a copy of thereport, nor was a copy releasedto The Maroon more than an hourahead of general distributionthroughout the campus. As a mat¬ter of fact, I was led to believeas late as 3:30 p.m. Wednesdayafternoon that the report wouldbe released on Thursday and thatThe Maroon would not be scoopedby the city papers on a Universitymatter. This, of course, did notturn out to be the case.The arguments in favor of thepolicy adopted by the Council arenot strong enough to bear seriousscrutiny. According to some mem¬bers of the Council, the report wasnot to be released until it wasavailable to the entire Faculty Sen¬ate, as the Council is simply arepresentative body and should notrelease report until everyone con¬cerned has had a chance to readthem. If that argument were ac¬curate, why was the report simplynot surpressed until the minutes ofthe meeting had been made avail¬ able to the Senate?IF, ON THE other hand, the de¬sire was for as swift as possibledistribution of the report, why wasit decided that The Maroon wouldnot be given the report until itwas released to the entire campus—students, faculty, and employees—despite the fact that at the Coun¬cil meeting it seemed as thoughThe Maroon would appear first?It seems appropriate to me thatthe Council of the Faculty Senatedecide once for all who constitutesthe priviledged constituency whichshall receive the Council’s reportsbefore they are issued to the press.If it is the faculty, well and good.If it is the entire University com¬munity which is to receive Univer¬sity news before the newspaperdoes, perhaps the newspaper is su¬perfluous and should cease publi¬cation. Certainly there are alterna¬tive things for the students engagedin publishing it to do when theyare faced with a blackout of newsand competition from non-competi¬tive sources.The Chicago MaroonFounded in 1892.

C. FoxCOMPILING “TEN BEST LISTS” for thepast two years I became aware that anextremely high proportion of the Ameri¬can films I admire the most were madeby fairly old men. Premiger (Hurry Sun¬down), Hitchcock (Torn Curtain), Lang(Thousand Eyes of Doctor Mabuse),Hawks (El Dorado), and Ford (7 Women),are all over 60. With the exception ofLang, all of these directors, while havingvarying critical success, have always beenpopular successes. But now the public issplit on these films, as hard as the critics.Both the Lang and the Ford had their Am¬erican premieres on the bottom half of42nd street double bills. The films got veryfew reviews from the regular critics, anddid not make much money. The Hawks got its New York opening on neighborhooddouble bills, but at least as the top half.(Chicago gave a El Dorado a downtownopening, but then Chicago is far behindMadison, Wisconsin, and Seattle, Wash¬ington, as far as movies are concerned.)It somewhat stirred me that the films Ilike, seem to be dying. So when RogerBlack asked me to open the WEEKENDpop culture series with an article on film,I agreed to the assignment, demanding on¬ly that I work on the premise somewhatantithetical to the idea of the series. In thepast few years the movies have begun tocease to be pop culture. Their audiencesare changing. Those films which were as¬sured to make money several years gaonow fail. And the directors and starswhich were once an integral part of themovies, are no longer the nonns. This hasnot necessarily improved the quality of American films, Indeed there is ample jus¬tification for the belief tha:. they have de-proved. What I propose to do is to exam¬ine the movies, to see what has happenedto them, from the point of view of a (hope¬ful) filmmaker, and a (meanwhile) critic.IN THE 1MIDDLE of To Have and toHave Not Lauren Bacall turns to Hum¬phrey Bogart and says, “I’m right acrossthe hall — if you need me just whistle.You know how to whistle don’t you? Justput your lips together and blow.”This is the height of the “B” movie aspop culture. These lines are typical of “B”movies and of the films of Howard Hawks.They are as much a creation of his intelli¬gence as they are typical of a certain typeof film.The “B” film was a creation of a groupof men whose artistry impressed itself up¬on the then emerging industry. Von Stern¬ berg and Hawks made films which becamethe definition of future genres. It is ex¬tremely doubtful that the “gangster film”would have the qualities associated withit, had it not been for Underworld andScareface.It is important to realize that althoughvon Sternberg and Hawks made popularfilms, and films which were aware of theirpublic, they were intensely aware of theirart and what their role in the developmentof that art was. Quoting the work of a dir¬ector whom you admire and who has in¬fluenced you. is not as recent a techniqueContinued on Page ThreeMr. Fox, associate editor of WEEK¬END,filed this article from New York,where he is catching up on films thathaven’t yet reached Chicago and wherehe is trying tosnag transient directorsfor interviews.Text of Goldsmith Report on IDAThis report is the response ofthe undersigned faculty Commit¬tee appointed by PresidentGeorge W. Beadle in October1967 “to review the relationshipbetween the University and theInstftute for Defense Analyses(IDA) and to recommend to thePresident what the University’srelationship ought to be.” Theconclusions and recommenda¬tions herein have been basedupon testimony from and discus¬sions with several present andformer participants in IDA pro¬grams, the current ExecutiveVice-President and two membersof SDS, and from a study of un¬classified reports and documentson the organization, goals andactivities of IDA.The Institute for DefenseAnalysis is a non-profit member¬ship corporation formed in 1956to prepare studies and analysison matters of national securityfor the United States govern¬ment. IDA was founded by fiveuniversities: The California In¬stitute of Technology, Case In¬stitute of Technology, The Mas¬sachusetts Institute of Technolo¬gy, Stanford University andTulane University. A grant of$500,000 from the Ford Founda¬tion represented the first work¬ing capital of IDA. In 1959 themember universities were i n-creased by the addition ofColumbia University, The Penn¬sylvania State University and theUniversity of Michigan. In 1961The University of Chicago be¬came a member, and in 1962Princeton University and TheUniversity of Illinois. The pre¬sent membership of twelve uni¬versities was completed in 1964by the addition of The Universi¬ty of California. IDA is operatedby a Board of Trustees, general¬ly the President or other seniorrepresentative of each sponsor¬ing university, a number of pub¬lic trustees (currently six) andIDA’s President and ExecutiveVice-President. The Trustees areelected annually by the mem¬bers. The President of IDA isGeneral Maxwell D. Taylor, USA(Ret.), and the Executive Vice-President is Gordon J. F. Mac¬Donald, currently on a two-yearleave of absence from a UCLA,where he is Professor of Geophy¬sics. IDA’s total research bud¬get (1967) is in excess of $14 mil¬lion, financed almost entirely bythe federal government, primari¬ly by the Office of the Secretaryof Defense. The staff now num¬bers over 600, and about 325“professionals,” covering mostareas in the physical and socialsciences. The permanent profes¬sional staff is augmented by spe-ilists from universities and oth-e r research institutions, eitheras on-call consultants or as staffmembers with one- year or two-year appointments.THE CORPORATE charterprovides that it is IDA’s objec¬tive “to promote the national se¬curity, the public welfare, andBe PracticalBuy Utility ClothesSPECIAL SALEall sweaters - NOW $8.88formerly to $14.98Utivenal Army Store1364 E. 63rd ST.PL 2-4744OPEN SUNDAYS 9:30- 1.00 the advancement of scientificlearning by making analyses,valuations and reports on mat¬ters of interest to the UnitedStates Government, with prima¬ry orientation towards mattersof national security.” Further¬more, it is stated that “IDA’sbasic purpose is to perform apublic service by bringing to bearupon important national prob¬lems the services and skills ofoutstanding scholars. Its prima¬ry orientation has been and con¬tinues to be toward the needs ofthe office of the Secretary of De¬fense and the Joint Chiefs ofStaff.” Although the staff formu¬lates recommendations, IDAdoes not make policy nor does itapparently represent any schoolof policy.The first University of Chica¬go Trustee was Warren C. John¬son, how after his retirementwas succeeded by the presentTrustee, A. Adrian Albert, Deanof the Division of the PhysicalSciences. Four faculty membersof the University are to havebeen consultants of JASON, oneof the divisions of IDA, althoughtwo have resigned from IDA,and one is currently inactive.None of these men has carriedout research or any other acti¬vity to IDA on this campus. Ma¬ny members of the faculty, ifaware of IDA’s existence at all,were unaware of the Universi¬ty’s corporate association withit until the issue of the Universi¬ty’s participation in IDA wasraised by a group of students.The members of this Commit¬tee were generally unaware ofthe formal association.THE COMMITTEE hasaddressed itself to the nature ofthe corporate assocaition with IDA and to its effect on the ob¬jectives and policy of the Univer¬sity. The matter of the involve¬ment of the University as acor-porate entity in matters not di¬rectly related to the University’sappropriate role is apparent inthis case, and the nature of theIDA association is not unrelatedto considerations expressed inthe report of the Kalven Com¬mittee, a report on the Univer¬sity’s role in political and socialaction. It could be argued thatthe only reason for associationwith IDA in a real sense wouldbe because of a feeling of cor¬porate responsibility for the na¬tional welfare, President Goheenof Princeton, is a statement re¬lative to IDA, has stated that“The fundamental obligations ofthe University include not onlythe protection and exercise ofacademic freedom but also con¬cern for the welfare and secu¬rity of the society which permitsacademic freedom to flourishand flower.” This is an admira¬ble view, and, as expressed inthe Kalven Report, particularlyappropriate at a time of crisis.Without attempting to define justhow stressful the times shouldbe before involvement in essen¬tially political matters should be¬come a significant activity, onemight ask how such corporate in¬volvement is implemented, atwhat level does it begin, andwhere does it end?It is quite apparent to theCommittee that there is no realinteraction between The Univer¬sity of Chicago and IDA. TheCommittee knows of no report¬ing activity to the University onthe part of our Trustee, nor doany of the faculty or staff of theUniversity advise him on speci¬ fic decisions or courses of actionwith respect to IDA. Thus theTrustee acts as an individual,and there is no evidence that heis a real agent of the Universi¬ty. This is also the situation ofthe faculty members who haveacted as consultants to IDA;they have acted as individualsand on their own time. It can beargued that the University neith¬er gains from nor contributes inany true sense to IDA. The Uni-versity-IDA relationship appearsto us to be an anomaly, and ourmembership might best be de¬scribed as a legal fiction. Theextent to which this is a conse¬quence of the classified natureof much of IDA’s work is not al¬together clear, but in this con¬nection we feel that the nature ofthe work done by IDA is irrele¬vant. Why then should this (orany other) university play therole it does in IDA’s organiza¬tional scheme?THE ARGUMENTS that have“Symbolic and Nightmarish..Provocative... StartlingPictorial Effects... AnotherDemonstration of the CameraVersatility of Mr. Welles...” come to our attention in supportof the existing University-IDA re¬lationship are variations andextensions of the following views:• IDA’s effectiveness is a re¬sult of its university backing andof its status as an independentagency outside of the govern¬ment.• IDA’s strength in quality ofpersonnel is a result of this as¬sociation.•A continuing review of IDAand its goals is guarenteed underUniversity sponsorship.It has also been stated (Go¬heen, October 31, 1967) that byits independent existence “IDAremoves from the universitiesthemselves what might other¬wise be string pressures to en¬gage in types of classified andapplied research that might in¬deed pollute the air of intellec¬tual freedom and openness whichwe cherish for our universities.”Others have pointed out thatSATURDAY, FEB. 17Soc Sci 122 7:15A 9:30Admission $1.00A POLITICALSTUDY TOUROF EUROPEwill be conducted this summer by a professor of internationalrelations in the graduate school of a well-known university.

Michelson dis¬tinguished service professor of po¬litical science and history; andJohn A. Simpson, professor ofphysics.Faculty ReactionFaculty members for the mostpart have refused to comment on the Goldsmith report. Provost Levi,in Seattle on business, stated, “Idon’t think I should make a com¬ment on this.”A. Adrian Albert, Eliakim Hast¬ings Moore distinguished serviceprofessor of mathematics, dean ofthe Division of Physical Sciencesand the present University trusteeto IDA, also had no comment. Hestated however, that IDA “is per¬fectly aware of what’s going on”and that the Institute is currentlymaking its own investigation intoits connections with universities.Commenting on the University’s withdrawal from IDA, GoldsmithCommittee member John Lawstated that withdrawal should be“in a graceful manner. If they aregoing to continue to be viable, cer¬tainly they shouldn’t just bedumped.”Steve Rothkrug, ‘70, of SDSpraised the report’s description ofIDA, saying “there is no attemptmade to avoid IDA’s nature.” Heargued, however, that the report“begs the question. Unless they’renot making themselves very clear,it sounds as if they want us towithdraw because IDA no longer needs us.”Commenting on the report’sstatement that there is “no real in¬teraction between the Universityi of Chicago and IDA” Rothkrugsaid that it is not only a questionof interaction, that it is also aquestion of “our lending our nameand our prestige to IDA.”He stated that the report avoids“the whole discussion of whetherit is proper or right for the Univer¬sity to belong to this sort of organ¬ization. It is very importantwhether the stance of IDA is‘hawk, dove, or dodo.’ ”Text of Goldsmith Committee Report-ContinuedContinued from Page 2the universities are needed tocontinually question not onlywhat IDA does, but to continueto question the very need of IDA,now and in the future. Further¬more, it has been stated that ifthis questioning attitude were lost, IDA could well end up as acaptive (and second-rate) organ¬ization. It is claimed that theuniversity Board members parti¬cipate in a more important waythan the public Board members,for they REPRESENT universi¬ties and look at what IDA doesCommdr.

Ltd. and is directly re¬sponsible for all operations on theAmerican continent north of theEquator. He has gained wide noto¬riety by appearing in all advertise¬ments for his company.Simon, from Troy, Illinois, firstachieved recognition as a newspa¬per publisher.

He is author of threebooks: “Lovejoy, Martyr to Free¬dom,” “Lincoln’s Preparation forGreatness,” and “A HungryWorld.”The Whitehead lecture is sched¬uled for 1 p.m. at Breasted Hall.Simon will also speak at 1 p.m.,but at Business East 103.University Is Investigating Reese TiesThe University is investigating hospitals to be associated withthe possibility of forming ties be¬tween Billings Hospital and theMichael Reese Hospital, accordingto a statement by Dr. Leon O. Ja¬cobson, dean of the Division ofBiological Sciences.Michael Reese is the secondbusiest (behind Cook County Hos¬pital) hospital in the county. It hasa total staff of over 3000 and em¬ploys 125 full-time physicians andanother 375 attending physicians.The hosptial has nearly 1400 bedsand admits about 51,000 cases ayear.Billings, by comparison, admitsonly about 38,000 each year.Jacobson said that representa¬tives of the University Division ofBiological Sciences have beenmeeting with representatives ofMichael Reese since the summerof 1967. He felt that “affiliationsbetween private hospitals andeducational institutions are com¬mon and generally considered mu¬tually beneficial.”A spokesman for Michael Reesestated that it is becoming moreand more necessary for privateSAMUEL A. BELL'BOY SHELL FROM MU."SINCE IfUPICKUP I. DELIVERY SERVICE52 A Lake Park493-5200 medical schools. Hospital officialsconsider association with Billingsmore practical than starting theirown new medical school.Talks at present are attemptingto determine if, and under whatconditions, both institutions canbenefit from such relations. in terms of how it reflects on theuniversity. It has even been saidthat the university Trustees helpkeep IDA LIKE a university.The university Trustees may notonly disagree with views held byIDA officers, but they lend thestrength necessary to enablesome of the officers of other IDApeople themselves to maintainindependent and divergent views.THE COMMITTEE questionsthe validity of these views withrespect to this University’s rela¬tionship with IDA. We realizethat the individual Truste' s roleis largely a function of what hisuniversity may care to make it;in our cae, it does not seem tobe one in which The Universityof Chicago is truly represented.It is also difficult for us to pic¬ture the University playing eith¬er a guiding or a restrainingrole in a situation where theUniversity doesn’t have any realknowledge of what IDA is doing.A skeptic might say that someof the arguments by IDA prota¬gonists amount to pleading forthe support of and for blind faithin an organization of unkown vir¬tue.We do not feel that any of thearguments put forth in favor ofthe continuance of a formalUniversity of Chicago-IDA rela¬tionship are convincing at thispoint in time. IDA is obviouslyan actively functioning organiza¬tion, and important as the uni¬versity backing may have been in its evolutionary stages, we donot feel that the formal associa¬tion of universities is any longernecessary. We do not subscribeto the argument that individualTrustees, from this or other uni¬versities, would be any lesseffective if they acted solely asindividuals. In particular, we seeno real need for a continuing as¬sociation of this University, andrecommend that steps be ini¬tiated to terminate the corporateassociation as soon as feasible.THIS RECOMMENDATION isnot intended to reflect on thefreedom of individual facultymembers to participate in IDA,or in fact to lend their abilitiesto any agency concerned withnational problems, be it civil ormilitary. Furthermore, the rec¬ommendation for dissociationfrom IDA is made without pre¬judging other affiliations. 11should be apparent, however thataffiliation with other organiza¬tions should be mutually benefi¬cial and produce direct interac¬tions that broaden the Universi¬ty’s function of research andteaching.The Committee would like tocommend the students how havebrought this matter to the at¬tention of the University. Wefeel it worth re-emphasizing,however, that in making our rec¬ommendation, we make no moraljudgement on the work of IDA,although its antagonists havecondemned IDA at least in part77T.: iv:,.............. on the basis of its military (andtherefore assumedly anti-human¬istic) concerns. This Committeeis not concerned with IDA’sstance, be it that of hawk, doveor dodo, nor with the desires ofsome individuals to bolster ourgovernment, nor with an oppo¬sition group who wish to with¬draw support of any kind large¬ly bacause of a currently unpop¬ular war.In recommending that our cor¬porate association be terminated,we realize that a problem ex¬tending beyond our own Univer¬sity may be created. Our initialassociation with IDA was the re¬sult of actions by responsiblepeople in this, as well as other,universities, and if dissocaitionis to take place, it must certain¬ly be done in a fashion that takesfull account or our current re¬sponsibility to IDA as well as toto the universities. If our re¬commendation is followed, i tmay be desirable for our Adminis¬tration to initiate discussionwith the administrative heads ofthe other eleven universites, re¬alizing that this activity maytake some time. It may also beworth pointing out to IDA itselfthat it consider a change in itscorporate structure.Julian R. Goldsmith (Chair¬manGwin J. KolbJohn H. LawHans J. MorgenthauJohn A.

The slogan, regarded in some quartersas wishful thinking, occasioned no little merriment. Butnowadays, nobody’s laughing.For while the theatre is declared moribund (again),and television is not regarded as worthy of considera¬tion, movies arc better than ever. At least, more peoplethan ever before go to them, talk about them and takethem seriously. Public interest extends to all kinds ofmovies — underground, overground, homemade, foreign,new wave, old ripple, The Sound of Music, and Blow-Up.It has been said of everyone, from Shakespeare toBrecht: “If he were working today, he’d be working inmovies."On the theory that, Marshall McLuhan notwithstand¬ing, people who enjoy seeing and talking about movieswould also enjoy reading and knowing more about them,an international publishing venture called CinemaWorld has been launched. The plan is for a series ofdefinitive, lively, copiously-illustrated, jargon-free crit¬ical studies of individual directors and actors, discus¬sions of national cinemas and kinds of movies, and ex¬planations of the movie-making process. The first threevolumes in the series, published in paperback at $2.95each (and in hard covers at $4.95) are:Jean-Luc Godard, by Richard Roud. A study of theconnecting themes and ideas in the work of the contro¬versial French director whose Breathless led the “newwave.”Losey on Losey, edited and introduced by Tom Milne.The American director comments on his own work,from The Boy with Green Hair to The Servant andAccident.Luchino Visconti, by Geoffrey Nowell-Smith. Ananalysis of the director whose products extend from theneo-realism of Rocco and His Brothers to the rococo ofThe Leopard.Other books to be published in the series this yearinclude Robin Wood on Howard Hawks, John Ward onAlain Resnais, and The New Wave, edited by PeterGraham. Always, we hope Cinema World will fill thegap between the heavy technical tomes and the fantasyof movie fan magazines. The latter, incidentally, areresponsible for a satire called Mmmm . . .

Not only hasthe romantic view of love and war whichformed his main satiric target fallen intooblivion, but his anti-heroic hero, Blunt¬schli, is an early product of the sameschool which has since produced such am¬biguously admirable figures as RobertStrange MacNamara.Shaw’s reaction against the well-madeplay, too, is no longer as striking as itmight once have seemed. Alliances of loveform, dissolve, and re-establish themselvesas regularly as in Scribe or Sardou; theconcluding tableau is thoroughly pat and predictable. And Shaw’s ideas, previouslythe source of his radical reputation, nowtickel rather than bite.The St. Paul Community Players presentArms and the ManBy Bernard ShawCatherine Annette FernRaina Barbara NelsonLouka Mimi DaleyBluntschli Roger DoddsNicola Jerrold ZimanMajor Petkoff Donald SwantonSergius Thomas BuschRussian Officer George DemopoulosDirected by Kenneth Northcottat St. Paul's Community Players, 50th atDorthester through April 16th.

When it’s foggy, as ithas been lately, you can stand on top ofone of the city’s many hills and look down.There’s always a lot to be learned.Last night I went down to Haight Street.When the Summer of Love ended mostpeople went back home and tried to applysome of the things they’d learned to theirown situations. Some stayed on the street.A few still ask for spare change. Wherethere used to be different scenes, one pre¬dominates: the street is a mass womb,and uroboric incest abounds.On the corner of Haight and Masonic isthe Straight Theater. Last year a rundownmovie house, the Straight was bought bya local tribe with the idea of turning itinto a multimedia palace for the commun¬ity. Free hippie labor helped install a finehardwood floor and other amenities, giv¬ing the place a sort of nouveau elegance.There was a long hassle with the city ad¬ministration over a dance permit and fora time the Straight could only presentconcerts and “dance classes’’ with instruc¬tors like the Grateful Dead, but by now everything seems to have been settled.Last week’s attraction was Blue Cheer, alocal group. Guitar and bass fed and fedback into six amplifiers each, lots ofdrums, cymbals set up so they can onlybe struck by at least three inches of stick.The combination of volume and reverber¬ation makes it nearly impossible to dis¬tinguish just what’s happening at any giv¬en moment. In fact, it’s usually better notto even try, but to hear the total sound andlook at the light show, which is the bestI’ve seen. I wonder how the musicianscan hear themselves. Amidst all the dinthe drummer got lost only two or threetimes, so I guess they must be prettytight.Judging from just one set, Blue Cheerseems to want to sound a lot like Creamand to explore the possibilities of sheervolume. I respect them. As any musicianwill tell you, they can all play. But one setwas all I could take, and I wish they’dturn down a little sometimes.Coming into the city this w^ k sue BillEvans, Thelonious Monk, Albert King, andthe Butterfield Blues Band. And maybe afew sunny days.TODD CAPPVikstrom's Brahms: SuperbRICHARD VIKSTROM led the RockefellerChapel Choir and members of the ChicagoSymphony Orchestra last Sunday afternoonin performances of two choral works byBrahms, Nanie and Ein Deutsches Requi¬em in the third of a six concert series.Nanie, a setting of a poem by FrederichSchiller, is a work performed less frequent¬ly than it deserves. The piece is a marvelof concentrated expression; in only onehundred eighty bars Brahms captures thespirit of Schiller’s poem. The text dealswith the Greek conception of death, movingfrom sad contemplation to turbulent con¬frontation, and finally reaching a calm, sadacceptance of death.The direction of Richard Vikstrom wassubtle and sensitive. His success in achiev¬ing balance between the choir and the Or¬chestra was notable.The German Requiem, an earlier com¬ position, is more frequently performed andis certainly worthy of frequent perform¬ance. For his Requiem, Brahms selectedshort passages from the Old and New Test¬ament about death. The general movementis again from calm, through turbulence, toan enduring calm. The elements of poly¬phony, the use of the harp, and the sound¬ing of brass at the Last Judgment contrib¬uted to the Requiem’s distinctly Christiancharacter. The music reaches a climax inthe sixth section at the words “Death,where is thy sting?”These words, and whole sixth section werevery effectively sung by Baritone soloistHenri Noel. Neva Pilgrim, soprano was ather best. On the whole it was a fine, mov¬ing performance. The balance again wasjust right. The only real flaw was occa¬sionally muddy enunciation.DAVID BENSMANWEEKENDThe Chicago Maroon Magazine of Culture, Dissent, and SatireEditor: Roger BlackBeaux Arts Editor: Michael SorkinAssociate Editors: Todd Capp, T. C. Fox, Jessica SeigelContributing Editors: Barbara X. Bernstein, Maurice Farge,Howard Fishman, Stephan Goodman. Don Isbell, David Katsive,Jerry Lapidus, Chuck Metalitz, David H. Richter, Marion Siretman. This is not to say that the play is nolonger effective. It is merely effective in adifferent way. Once a comedy of intellect,Arms and the Man is now an adventure inCloud-Cuckoo-Land, as charming and pleas¬ant an affair as Twelfth Night. Perhaps itis the greatest of tributes to Shaw that hecan still amuse us with his catalogues ofhuman folly after seventy-five years.The production at St. Paul’s Church doesample justice to Shaw’s paradoxical hu¬mor. Director Kenneth Northcott has cor¬rectly assessed the verbal nature of thecomedy and accordingly laid proper stresson clarity and accuracy in reading. Thereis little schtick to get in the way of thedialogue — though, considering the primi¬tive stage facilities, any attempt to hokeup the play might have seemed a sorryaffair.Northcott’s major contribution was,therefore, in the fast, slick pacing. He hasapparently deemed it preferable to havehis actors throw a few lines away thanplay each stroke of wit for all it wasworth. Slow Shaw is dull Shaw, and North¬cott, realizing this, keeps his play contin¬ually on the attack.Roger Dodds and Barbara Nelson weremore than adequate in the male and fe¬male leads. Dodds tends to underplay abit and Miss Nelson to overplay, but bothinterpretations may be defensible. It isnot necessary for the Bluntschli to hamit up, for one thing, because his are theMiscellany:I HAD A REALLY nice time at UniversityTheater Sunday night, and now sittingback and being objective and playingClaudia Cassidy seems a crummy thing todo to all those nice people. Not that I haveanything particularly bad to say about theshow — but The Undeniable Miscellaneyseemed an informal, spontaneous, person¬al happening to be experienced and en¬joyed and not criticized or evaluated. ItsUnivrsity Theater presentsTHE UNDENIABLE MISCELLANYOF HUMOR AND POETRYThe CompanyOscar AndersonElaine CohenLarry ColkerIra MachefskyLonnie McAllisterSusan QuartinRay StoddardR. Lee StruckerAnne WeissmanDirected by Richard Marc RubinPresented February 9, 10, and 11 inthe Reynolds Club Theatercasualness aws misleading, though — theMiscellaney was a carefully mounted pro¬duction and a brilliant idea that deservesdiscussion.The Undeniable Miscellaney of Humorand Poetry was a program of sketches andpoetry readings assembled and directedby Richard Rubin. There was no themeor unifying idea; the selections werechosen, Rubin told the audience, simplybecause he liked them. The production wasa “series of moments” which together ad¬ded up to nothing more than a delightfulevening. It was a differend kind of theaterthan we are used to and one well suited toa university theater situation — personal,informal, totally without pretensions.The director acted as a kind of narratorthroughout, and actors introduced poemsand skits and told us what happens inPeter Quince at the Clavier, what to ex¬pect from Kenneth Koch, that 1601 isplenty different from Tom Sawyer. So wefelt that the people on stage were not per¬forming for us — they were sharing somethings they liked with us.This cabaret atmosphere was combinedwith unusual technical competence. Theactors worked together very well andseemed to know exactly what they were best lines in the play; for another thing,Raina may overdo the “grand manner andthe thrilling voice,” annoying as it maybe at times, because it makes more effec¬tive her unmasking in the third act.The best acting in evidence, though, wasby Jerrold Ziman in the minor role of themanservant, Nicola. Although he nas fewlines and usually plays straightman tothe major characters, he neverthelessmanages to dominate the stage by forceof personality whenever he is on. Zimanmoves like an actor — and that is enough.Most of the minor roles, in fact, werefilled beautifully. Annette Fern is superbas the fussy, determined, parvenue; MimiDaley plays Louka with a delightful touchof mystery and caprice; Thomas Busch,who was last seen playing Jesus Christ inPlay of the Sacrament, has adjusted per¬fected to Sergins; and it is always nice tosee Donald Swanton again — type-cast asusual as a blustering but good-natured gen¬eral.During the hibernation of Last Stage,St. Paul’s Community Players have takenup the torch for cumminity theatre inHyde Park, and, at first glance, the newcompany seems just as good, if not better.In fact, Arms and the Man compares fa¬vorably with any production I have seenthe Man, the group was playing to a piti¬fully small house. They deserve better ofthe Hyde Park audience.DAVID H. RICHTERUndeniableRichard Rubin and Ira Machefskydoing. The lighting was excellent, espec¬ially the precise blackouts which punctua¬ted every scene and added to the fast paceof the show. A lot of time and effort musthave gone into the Miscellaney, still itseemed casual and spontaneous.The outstanding personality of the even¬ing was Ira Machefsky, who is a beautifulclown. He gagged and choked and turnedred, he spat a cigar halfway across thestage before dying horribly, he grandlyled a choir in the Hallelujah Chorus, hesimpered through 1601 as grotesque falset¬to Queen Elizabeth. His few moments ofpantomine as a belligerent drunk wereclassic. Also excellent, in a different sortof way, was Lee Strucker’s performanceas Bernard Mergendeiller, Jules Feiffer’sperenniel outcast. Strucker captured theFeiffer spirit better than anyone else andmaintained the line-drawing personalityof Bernard. He just stood there looking in¬ept and poignant and we all recognisedBernard, by long acquaintance if not byname. One sketch about Bernard callinga girl whose number a friend has givenhim was a minor masterpiece, thanks al¬so to the nice work of Larry Colker andOscar Anderson. Finally, the best demon¬stration of pure presence was given byRichard Rubin. He appeared as RichardRubin and he was wry; he appeared asThe Announcer and he was subtly preten¬tious; he appeared as General Grant andwas grandly hung-over. His authority andcontrol were evident throughout. His per¬sonality dominated the evening.BARBARA X.

It is obvious from the sizeof this audience tonight that onthis occasion, too, no introduc¬tion is required.But it is also obvious that sincethis is the last public appearanceof Mr. Strauss as a member ofthis University, something in theway of a valedictory prologue iscalled for. As Mr. Strauss him¬self requires that certain ceremo¬nies be prolonged, that it is bet¬ter in such cases to err on theside of excess than of deficiency.The lecture tonight is spon¬sored by the Political Science De¬partment of the University ofChicago and by the University’sBasic Program of Liberal Edu¬cation for Adults. Mr. Strausswho has been for two decades adistinguished member of thePolitical Science Department—has had a significant influence onthe Basic Program. He has beenfor at least a decade not only aregular lecturer at the DowntownCenter of the University but al¬so a teacher on the Quadranglesof Basic Program teachers. His lectures here have includedexaminations of the Book of Gen¬esis, of Aristophanes’ “Clouds,”of Plato’s “Republic,” ofMachiavelli’s “Prince” and ofHobbes’s “Leviathan.”THESE LECTURES (which re¬flect his wide-ranging work in pol-itcal philosphy) have been partic¬ularly appropriate for Basic Pro¬gram—that is, for adult—audi¬ences, not only because of thequality of the books examinedbut even -more because of therigorous yet imaginative way Mr.Strauss examines them: his wayof reading, informed as it is byan abiding respect for natureand hence for the whole ofthings, takes very seriously (ifonly as a beginning) the surface,the obvious meaning, of a greatbook, the appearance of the bookas it first comes to view not tothe learned scholar but to the in¬terested adult. He utilizes, in hisquest for the eternal, that whichcommon sense offers.Mr. Strauss shares with thelayman the all-too-human desireto make sense of his world andthus to master it. This yearningis nicely suggested by an obser¬vation made by a former prisoninmate who happened some years ago to talk with membersof the Political Science Depart¬ment of this University. The ex¬convict was thereafter askedfor his impressions of variousmembers of the Department.Yes, he did recall Mr. Strauss.In fact, he was moved to de¬scribe him by drawing upon hisprison experience: “He remindsme of a con fixing to make abreak.”It was not, we trust, any inci¬pient criminality that was de¬tected by that observer for Mr.Strauss is (despite his playful¬ness) obviously the most law-abiding and, some might evensay, the most pious of men—butrather there must have been di¬vined in Mr. Strauss the single-minded and even consuming pur¬pose, the self-confident, yet cau¬tious daring and the disciplinedbut infectious excitement thathave characterized his constantwondering about the things thattruly matter.AN EVEN MORE fitting descrip¬tion of him, however, is one spo¬ken not in the accent of Ameri¬can prison life but comes ratherfrom the ghettoes of EasternEurope, where it would be saidof a rare kind of man, “Heknows how to learn.” Mr. Strauss, too, is a man who knowshow to learn. It is sad to realizethat he is about to succeed, atlast, in making a break from ourcommunity by escaping to thoseElysian Fields men believeCalifornia to be. But how muchsadder still we of this Universitywould have reason to be if for¬tune had not afforded us the op¬portunity all these years to ob¬serve through him what it meansto know how to learn.Mr.' Strauss is a man whoknows also how to speak for him¬self—and this we can now permithim to do, now that our spiritualdebt is acknowledged and ourceremonial duty is discharged.His subject for this occasion,“The Socratic Question,” is mostfitting and proper, reminding usonce again of Mr. Strauss’s life¬long eagerness to examine, withall who desire to know, “thetreasures of the wise men ofold.”(Editor's note: These re¬marks were made in introduc¬tion to Professor Strauss’slast public appearance at theuniversity — when he gave aspeech at the downtown centerDecember 1, Mr. Anastaplo isa lecturer in the liberal artsat the Downtown Center.)■ mmmMaroon Classified AdvertisemenfsRATES: For University students, faculty,and staff: 50 cents per line, 40 cents perline repeat.For non-University clientele: 75 cents perline, 60 cents per line repeat.

Failing that, the very best you can do is tomake morning tolerable. This, I am pleased to report, ispossible if you will follow three simple rules:1. Shave properly.By shaving properly I mean shaving quietly. Don’t usea blade that whines and complains. Morning being a timeof clanger and anger, use a blade that neither clangs norangs. Use a blade that makes no din on your chin, nosqueak on your cheek, no howl on your jowl, no rip onyour lip, no waves while it shaves. Use, in short, PersonnaSuper Stainless Steel Blades.I have been shaving for 71 years (not too impressiveuntil one considers that I am 49 years old ) and I am hereto tell you that the quietest blade I know is Personna. I notonly shave with Personna, but I also admire it. Old vir¬tues reappear in Personna; old values are reborn. Per¬sonna is a modest blade, an undemanding blade. Personnadoes not rasp and tug, yelling, “Hey, lookit me!” No, sir,not Personna! Silently, respectfully, unobtrusively, Per¬sonna whisks your whiskers with nary a whisper. Itshucks your soil and stubble without toil and trouble.Why, you hardly know it’s there, this well-bred Personnablade, this paragon of punctilio.Moreover, this crown of the blade-maker’s art, thisepitome of epidermal efficacy, is available both in Double¬edge style and Injector style. Do your kisser a favor: getsome.2. Breakfast properly.I assert that a Personna shave is the best of all possibleshaves. But I do not assert that a Personna shave, brac¬ing though it may be, is enough to prepare you for thehideous forenoon ahead. After shaving you rmlst eat anample breakfast.Take, for example, the case of Basil Metabolism, a soph¬omore at V.M.I. Basil, knowing there was to be an inspec¬tion by the Commandant one morning, prepared by stor¬ing up energy. He recognized that coffee and juice wouldnot sustain him, so he had a flitch of bacon, a clutch ofeggs, a batch of bagels, a notch of ham, a bunch of butter,a swatch of grits, a hutch of honey, a patch of jelly, athatch of jam, a twitch of pepper, and a pinch of salt.jThe idea was right; the quantities, alas, were not. Whenthe Commandant arrived, Basil, alas, was so torpid thathe could not raise his bloated arm in a proper salute. Hewas, of course, immediately shot by a firing squad. Today,a perforated man, he earns a meagre living as a collanderin Cleveland..{. Read properly.Always read the paper at breakfast. It inhibits bolting.But do not read the front page. That is full of bad, acid¬making news. Read a more pleasant part of the paper—the Home and Garden section, for example.For instance, in my local paper, The Westport Peasant,there is a delightful column called “Ask Harry Home-spun” which fairly bristles with bucolic wisdom andmany an earthy chuckle. I quote some questions andanswers:Q: I am thinking of buying some power tools. Whatshould I get first ?A: Hospitalization.Q: How do you get rid of moles?.4; Pave the lawn.Q: What is the best way to put a wide car in a narrowgarage?A: Butter it.Q: What do you do for elm blight ?A: Salt water gargle and bed rest.Q: What can I do for dry hair?.4; Get a wet hat.* * * © 1908, Max ShulmanPersonna's partner in shaving comfort is Burma-Shave, regular or menthol. Together, Personna andHurma-Shave make a considerable contribution towardforenoon survival.8 WEEKEND MAGAZINE February 16, 1968Letters to theWhite ArgonneIt is altogether conceivable thatsometime within the next twohundred years the University ofChicago will finally rid itself ofcertain practices which havepermitted it to be viewed bymany as a racist institution.From time to time individualshave pointed out the variousforms and degrees of racism,conscious or unconscious, partici¬pated in by the university. How»ever it is not the purpose of thisnote to recapitulate these forms.It is well-known that the Uni¬versity of Chicago, under con¬tract with the Atomic EnergyCommission, is the prime oper¬ator of the Argonne National La¬boratory, one of the nation’s tru¬ly great scientific research cen¬ters. This means essentially thatthe University is ultimately re¬sponsible for staffing the Labor¬atory. In practice Chicago ap¬points the officials who actuallyhire the scientists and engineers,the technicians, the skilled andunskilled workers.“Things are opening up thesedays for college-trained Negroscientists” is the oft-heard cliche.By and large this is true, thoughnot spectacularly. But what frac¬tion of the black working popula¬tion is college prepared? (Giveyourself A-plus for answering“insignificant fraction.”) Now wecome to the core of the problemof job discrimination in thenorthern cities.I CONSIDER myself extreme¬ly fortunate that my departmentpermitted me to perform myPh.D. thesis research at Ar¬gonne. I count myself lucky tohave received an AEC Fellow¬ship while my radiation chemicalstudies are in process. The sci¬ence atmosphere is ideal andproductive. But since the startof my tenure there I have be¬come painfully aware of the in¬sulting hiring procedures whichmy people in the non-technicaljob category must undergo.While I’m enjoying the verybest, they’re suffering humilia¬tion, and have somehow learnedto adjust to it. (Isn’t this all toofamiliar in America?) I havebeen made to know that out of4000 employees, little more than200 are black — that most of theblack employees do unskilledjobs — that oftimes “overqual¬ified” blacks are passed over infavor of a “just-right qualified” non-black — that the Office ofPersonnel claims to want moreblack people but does nothing inthe way of approaching blackcommunity groups, or the UrbanLeague or the NAACP who spe¬cialize in job-getting — that Per¬sonnel at Argonne seems to bedoing a magnificent, on-goingproject of systematically exclud¬ing black people in the workingclasses.HAVING ACQUIRED somefirst-hand knowledge of a recentexample of how the Director ofPersonnel at Argonne dealt withthe case of a young black highschool graduate seeking a slot asa draftsman’s apprentice andlater possibly a job — I feelmore than compelled to bringthis matter to light.• Personnel asked Argonne’sblack employees to bring in jobapplicants, since it claimed tobe doing its best at hiring blackpeople.• Personnel apparently indica¬ted a willingness to accept blacktrainees for skilled labor posi¬tions.• Learning of Personnel’s“new attitude,” one black em¬ployee sought to get his son intoa draftsman’s apprentice pro¬gram, if not a job:• Personnel said that therewere no openings, but that therewas a wonderful position open inbiology (the animal farm) wherehe could get a responsible (life¬time) position (feeding rats, andhe would get to wear a whitelabcoat).• The young man had majoredin drafting, so he declined. (Be¬sides, he probably gets ampleopportunity for rat feeding athome you-know-where.)• Personnel’s last excuse wasthat no other drafting applicantshad applied yet, that he shouldtake a laborer’s job until" moreapplicants show, so that all couldbe tested on a “fair,” competi¬tive basis.IT DOESN’T take much logi¬cal deduction to realize thatsomething isn’t right here. Theavailable evidence supports theexistence of simple, 100 per centpoly-unsaturated racists incharge of Personnel at Argonne.Can one reach any other conclu¬sion? Except say, the remotepossibility that those in chargeof Personnel suffer from dam¬aged reasoning processes?The University is at least in¬directly responsible for theseFor a Bite and a BrewSmedley’sOpen for LunchSchlitz Exclusively on Tap5239 So. Harper 11:30 A. M. to 2 A. M primitive life forms directingPersonnel at Argonne. For thesituation to continue in this all-too-typically American fashionwould tend to validate the chargethat the University of Chicago isa racist institution, because itsupports racist institutions.On the other hand, ArgonnePersonnel may have had goodjustifications in what it did, andnot wanting the young man to“clash” with the white decor inthe drafting shops may havebeen one of them. So perhaps mycriticism has been unjustlyharsh. After all was not theBlack man meant to be spatupon and kicked, even byArgonne?DELBERT VENERABLE IIDepartment of ChemistryChairmanBlack Students AlliancePoster PleaI have received an increasingnumber of complaints in recent weeks about the posters for stu¬dent events that have been ap¬pearing on doors, walls and wood¬work of campus hallways. Somegroups have even been found onwater coolers; other, with unin¬tentional irony, on trash recep-ticles.A statistician in the BusinessSchool has estimated that if suchsigns continue to increase attheir present rate, Universityhallways will be completely pa¬pered by the middle of March,impassable by April, and thatmajor paper companies will bevying for the rights to “farm”them by early May.May I ask your help? Stu¬dent organizations were reques¬ted earlier this year to placetheir posters only on the bulle¬tin boards intended for that pur¬pose. If students, faculty, andstaff, see posters in other places,I would appreciate their coopera¬tion in removing them, even ifthe posters bear the Student Ac¬tivities stamp. (They may be passed on to me, or disposed oflocally).I hope you will help in keep¬ing the hallways clear, and avoid¬ing the intrusion of crass com¬mercial interests on campus.SKIP LANDTDirectorStudent Activities OfficeIvy WithersRe: Second page headline in theFebruary 9th edition of The Mar¬oon, “Will Ivy Dominance ofRhodes Program Continue?”, Iwish to state my intentions ofwithdrawing from any futurecompetition.School of BusinessCONWAY G.

These TVfilms are classic “C” films in that theydeal with outcasts, usually criminals, whoare at odds with nature and society. Theyare heroless films set among the raw ele¬ments of society. It is interesting to notehere that Bonnie and Clyde in many waysdeals with similar materials as these. Thedifference in approach is what makesPenn’s film the modern popular successthat it is.Less likely to survive that is the filmthat fills the bottom half of the double bill,The “D” movie. Like “B and C” movies,the “D” movies have at least one majorproponent in the person of Edgar G. Ul¬mer. Ulmer has an ability to make filmsfast (a matter of weeks or even days) andswitches genres without any trouble. Whenthe whodunit was the proper filler Ulmermade things like Murder is My Beat. Inthe 50s he made films like The IncredibleShrinking Man, and most recently Italianspectacles like Journey Beneath the Des¬ert. Throughout all of these the Germanexpressionism that was a part of his youthhas always managed to enter his films.As double bills have disappeared (exceptas revivals of two popular movies) so hasthe kind of film that Ulmer makes. He,who once produced up to ten films a year,has not made a single film in the lastthree.The most striking element of films inthe past few years, is the introduction ofthe intellectual. Cahiers du Cinema hasmade him aware of the American cinema,but he has reached America through Eur¬ope, through Godard, Truffault, and Fel¬lini.Three years ago in an interview in Ca¬hiers (no. 177, October 1965) Arthur Penncommented that, “The American cinemais an exquisite and immaculate technicalmachine, which, in the hands of some jt'Ji'J iWw .vt.’i' i»' «. t *. t * ►. f f f . • >■ * r * ■ f , * ? ♦»*»■>* f'i# .(•>»>>*»»♦.» *masters such as Hitchcock and Hawks, hasbecome an art. But I strongly doubt th^tthis cinema is also capable of giving usessentially modern works, works which aredelicately touching and personal, worksmade in the immediacy of the situation,works capable of seizing this side of thehuman element.” (My retranslation.)Not more than three years later, it wasthe American cinema which realized thatit needed to change, and it was ArthurPenn who emerged, as the director of Bon¬nie and Clyde, at the top of the newAmerican cinema.That Bonnie and Clyde should be thesuccess it is, leads us directly to the heartof the problem. The film is based on whatis largely an American myth (or mythsthe limited one of the Barrow gang andthe larger one of the Depression Gangsteras Robin Hood). It is ostensibly a gangsterfilm. Bonnie and Clyde stands far outsidethe tradition of Scarface and Underworld.For one thing, it is in color and has avisual style that is distinctly modern. Al¬though Penn has said that he wishes tothe camera to be something invisible, itis hardly possible to forget the camerain the huge telescopic dolly that bringsC. W.’s father together with RangerHamer. It was a shot that was technical¬ly impossible for Hawks or von Sternbergto use (this is a much more importantfactor than one would like to admit). Thecutting of Bonnie and Clyde, especiallyin the final death scene, is quite disjointand thus calls attention to itself. It iscutting for audiences atuned to Godardand his most popular imitator, RichardLester.In Bonnie and Clyde, Penn has learnedthe economy he so clearly needed in Mick¬ey One and has come up with a film thatis at once popular with the critics and the public. Penn has in fact made the filmwhich three years before he claimed wasimpossible.This influx of intellectuals into an areawhich they once entered only ashacks, does not mean that the movies havebeen freed of the quality associated withhacks. The success of Mike Nichols shouldprove that if you jump cut without feelingand throw in a few Fellini tricks beside alarge number of (supposedly intelligent)intellectuals will believe you have made amovie — even if all you have done was tomake a recording which some arty pic¬tures attached.What is wrong with directors like Nich¬ols is that they have learned what thetricks are, but do not feel them as essen¬tial needs. There are no dissolves in Go¬dard films, because he does not feel them,not because, not to dissolve is “modern.”As his feelings have changed, so has thestyle of his films; Pierrot le Fou looksnothing like Le Petit Soldat. They are bothmodern works because their director’s sen¬sibility is modern. This produces a visualdesign, not the other way around. (TonyRichardson please take note.)It is not surprising that at the same timethat Hollywood has begun to accept the in¬tellectuals into its ranks, the New Yory in¬telligentsia which comprises the (under¬ground) “new American cinema” havebegun to surface. There are just as many(perhaps even more) bad films on thiscoast as the other. But there also havebeen several masterpieces. It is ratherwonderful that Andy Warhol’s recent workis getting the attention it deserves. Theidyll in **** stands, along with the onein Pierrot, as one of the best lyrics onfilm.While intellectuals have entered film-making, they have also become increasing¬ ly aware of pop culture. (In fact, it is thisawareness that brought many of them tothe movies in the first place) The role ofrock is paramount and the Beatles are ontop of rock. So we eventually come toRichard Lester.Lester’s technique quite fitted his sub¬ject and caught audiences right at theproper moment. He was ready for theBeatles and the audiences were ready forthem both. (This is not to say, as somehave assumed, that Lester’s technique, isthe only one which fits popular music.(Witness the Maysels Brothers study ofthe Beatles which gains Lester’s effectthrough a series of extremely long takes.)Lester’s only other success was TheKnack, which had as its subject a bunchof young people in London and had aswell a marvelous jazz rock score. Its mostsuccessful moments were when Lester wasclosest to his subject.Lester's films outside this area leads usto doubt his ability as a filmmaker. TheMouse on the Moon was dreadful attemptat satire. A Funny Thing Happened on theWay to the Forum was an attempt at mu¬sical comedy based on one of the bestBroadway shows in years, and flopped.Lester had no feel for what he was doingin this film. How I Won the War is evenmore dreadful. Again Lester had stagecomics which he did not have the talent touse.If Lester represents the extreme in thefilmmaker tied to a single subject, thenPenn and Godard, represent the filmmak¬er who has the best general grasp of cur¬rent pop culture and who uses it to expressany subject he is handling.As popular culture has changed so hasthe role of the movies. Nevertheless, it isstill the director who determines both thequality and the direction of the film. Thosedirectors who have shown an affinity withpopular culture are the present successes.That they have not created a formidablepopular type does not take away fromtheir success.Next week, Pop Culture in AmericaPart II: Chuck Metalitz on The Resurg¬ence of Radio.Arthur Penn made the film whichthree years before he claimed impossible. ■Saturday night!Tickets still available at Reynolds Club Desk and the BookstoreFebruary 16, 1968 WEEKEND MAGAZINE 7dSoc^CeSsea'cUtaV'O""%X0V>*\«A\CS . n ar\0nO<»"°^,aosP % If your majoris listed here,IBM would liketo talk with youFebruary 19th.inSign up for an interview at your placement office—even ifyou’re headed for graduate school or military service.Maybe you think you need a technical background to workfor us.Not true.Sure we need engineers and scientists.
