F. Stone,publisher of I. F. Stone’s Weekly.Jeffrey Blum, ’69, Student Gov¬ernment president and a memberof the Special Convocation Group,announced that Dean of StudentsCharles O’Connell and Dean of theCollege Wayne C. Booth haveagreed to meet with him today todiscuss the possiblity of arranginga meeting of all graduating stu¬dents to discuss the draft at thetime of convocation.Booth said he would suggest abreakfast or lunch program forgraduates “at which an electedstudent could speak” about thedraft.‘Strong Tradition’He noted, however, “There is avery strong tradition here, whichI don’t expect to be changed, thatconvocations are not politicalevents. They have always beenscholarly, and the president hasalways spoken at the Spring Con¬vocation.”Blum said that the meeting withthe deans was a response to hisrequest that the main speaker atthe Spring Convocation speak aboutthe draft.Organized a month ago as anoutgrowth of a discussion groupcalled Alice’s Restaurant, the Spe¬cial Convocation Group aims toeducate the public on the issue ofdraft resistance, increase dissentover the draft issue, organize re¬sistance, and directly involve theUniversity in what it calls the realproblems of the draft. The SpecialConvocation is viewed as a vehicle I v - ■-.»See Editorial on Page 4i wmmmmmmm*.' * .to involve students in theprogram.The program is part of a nation¬wide effort to show the strengthof dissension among college stu¬dents concerning the Vietnam warand the draft. Other campuseswhich will hold a special convoca¬tion are Berkeley, Cornell, Har¬vard, and Wisconsin and collegesin New York, California, andWashington, D. C.■vOther EffortsCoordinated efforts with otherdraft resistance groups on camp-! us are being made. Early in theSpring, representatives from eachgroup will meet to discuss cooper¬ative plans.The group also has been circu¬lating a card for draft eligiblemales stating that they will notserve in the armed forces. Wo¬men, faculty, and others havebeen asked to sign statements ofsupport.Turn to Page 2 prepared at a meeting Mondayafternoon between Dean of Stu¬dents Charles O’Connell and otherdeans and members of the housingstaff, came in response to state¬ments made by O’Connell seeming¬ly contradicting previously estab¬lished policy of the housing system.O’C o n n e 11 was reported assaying, “A student cannot go to aresident head and say ‘may I tellyou something in confidence’ andexpect that confidence to be heldinviolable.”.O'Connell has denied this, claim¬ing that what he actually said wasI “Students cannot expect that theirconfidences will, under all circum¬stances, be kept inviolable.”Students present at a meetingwith O’Connell in Upper Flintlounge last week insisted that O’¬Connell had said that dorm resi¬dents on bad trips could not go totheir resident heads and expect notto be reported to the Disciplinaryj Committee.With the appearance of the pres¬ent statement, however, they con¬ceded that although he may havemisspoken himself then, there hasbeen no actual change in the hous¬ing system’s policy toward druguse.Turkington and Associate Dean ofStudents Mark Haller both deniedthat there was any change of Uni-vesity policy involved in the an¬nouncement.They said the policy of the Uni¬versity has been fairly clear sincethe appearance of the StudentHandbook this fall. The Handbook,however, omitted mention of stu¬dents who require medical atten¬tion not being penalized for seekingit. Barratt O'HaraMikva Is SlatedFor Second DistrictAbner Mikva, attorney and form¬er state legislator, has been slatedas the Democratic candidate forCongress in the Second Congres¬sional District, which includesHyde Park. He will have the back-1ing of the regular Democratic par¬ty organization in the district, re¬placing incumbent Barrett O’Hara.O’Hara, who is in his ninth termas a representative, has indicatedthat he may oppose Mikva in theprimary. Mikva similarly opposedO’Hara’s designation in the 1966primary election, when the latterwas the regular candidate.In that race O’Hara won by amargin of some 3,000 votes out of65,000 cast, but observers have ex¬pressed no doubt tha Mikva willwin any possible primary. Amongthem is Fifth Ward Alderman Le¬on Despres, who is quoted in thepresent issue of the Hyde ParkHerald as predicting Mikva’s nom¬ination.Strong 1966 ShowingMikva was reportedly picked bythe Democratic slatemakers large¬ly because of his showing in the1966 primary, and because of thedifference in age between him andMcNeill Tells Causes of Russian Cold War RoleThe Cold War resulted from mis¬understandings on the part of boththe United States and the SovietUnion, not from a plot on the partof either to dominate the world,Professor of History William Mc¬Neill said Wednesday evening.The background of the Russianleadership at the end of WorldWar II, continued McNeill, speak-j ing to a History Club meeting inSoc Sci 305, was one of the encirle-ment of the ’20’s and persistentWestern European hostility duringthe 1930’s.The leaders of the USSR had toweigh the advantages of continuedcollaboration with the West interms of its benefits to them. Theadvantages were several: contin¬uation of lend-lease, the possibilityof additional loans for Russain re¬ building and above all, securityfrom an attack by the Westernnations upon the Soviet Union.To achieve these ends, said Mc¬Neill, the Russians were preparedto sacrifice both the Chinese andthe Western European Communistparties, but under no circum¬stances were they about to foregotheir “protective glacis” of na¬tions guarding their borders.Russian Request “Lost”One of the principal causes oftheir change of heart, accordingto McNeill, was the “mislaying”of a Russian request for $1. 5 bil¬lion loan. That, together with a let¬ter from General Lucious Clay tothe Soviets telling them that noadditional reparations could be ex¬pected from the American-oc¬cupied sector of Germany, wasTurn to Page 3 William H.

In the 1964election he came in fifth out of 177candidates.Vietnam QuestionMikva is on record as opposingthe war in Vietnam, but it is notknown how strongly he will stressthis in his campaign. He was anardent. supporter for many yearsof integrated housing in the HydePark-Kenwood area, in a timewhen the Chicago administrationwas fighting integration with re¬strictive covenants.Supporters, however, indicatethat there may be a problem in theSecond District for Mikva, althoughhe is generally popular. Instead ofthe traditionally weak Republicancandidates, another young manwill oppose him. There may also bea third-party candidate in the race,if peace groups nominate one.A well-i n f o r m e d Republic¬an raised an interesting point bypointing out that the question ofMikva’s support of President John¬son may be very important in thecampaign as there is a fairly goodchance that the Presidential elec¬tion will end up in the House ofRepresentatives.As the Republican saw it, Mikvastands a good chance of losing sup¬port either way if he is forced totake a stand on the Presidentialrace.w > iPrinceton PlansPrinceton students who go to jailto avoid the draft will be readmit¬ted to the university after servingtheir sentences, according to ColinPittendrigh, dean of Princeton’sgraduate school. In the case ofstudents going to Canada to avoidservice, however, judgment will bemade on individual cases.“Students acting out of sinceremoral conviction who have gone tojail and paid their civil debt willnot be place in double jeopardy,”he said.Students coming back from Can- jada, he said, will probably have toserve a jail sentence anyway. Butalthough they will have paid theircivil debt, eventually, they ranaway from it in the beginning andsuch cases will therefore demandspecial action, Pittendrigh said.Rivers on the DraftWASHINGTON (CPS) - House jArmed Services Committee Chair¬man L.

David L. Aiken..David E. GumperiEdward W. HearneDaniel HertzbergDavid A. SatterMachine WisdomAs the local political seers would have it, MayorDaley’s slate making-activities this week demonstratedagain his refusal to sacrifice party unity for popular¬ity. By passing over every logical candidate to run forGovernor and Senator next November and choosinginstead two nonentities, the Democratic machine re¬duced to an absurdity the strange logic of mediocrityby which it operates.While this analysis is valid as far as it goes, how¬ever, it fails to take into account the peculiar eventssurrounding the selection of Abner Mikva to run forCongress from Illinois’ Second Congressional District.We can only assume that Chicago’s good Mayor knowsa potent political force when he sees one, and ratherthan risk the continued wrath of The Maroon’s editori¬al writers elected to dump the courageous but ridicu¬lous octogenerian incumbent Barratt O’Hara in favorof the candidate this newspaper endorsed two yearsago.This is the only way we can account for the selec¬tion of Mikva, for the former state legislator will besomething of an anomaly on a Democratic ticket com¬posed almost entirely of small-time hacks. He is a manof integrity and vision, and (if Mayor Daley is stillworried) he will indeed receive The Maroon’s whole¬hearted and enthusiastic support.Draft MachineThe alternatives available to most draft-eligiblemen at present are limited and grim: sloshing throughrice paddies for the Army, serving time in federalprison for resistance, or running away from the wholething by going to Canada. Understandably, the firstreaction of many College seniors and graduate stu¬dents who learned that II-S deferments will no longerbe available to them was to scurry around looking forother ways to get deferred.Yet for many, questions remain: Why should menbe forced to choose among these oppressive alterna¬tives? Why should they submit to the machinery of asystem openly dedicated to “channelling” them intoniches deemed “in the national service” by bureau¬crats in Washington, or know-nothing cogs on theirlocal draft boards?To an increasing number of men, the appropriateresponse is to defy the system and suffer the conse¬quences. It is more and more apparent that any willingparticipation in the continuing carnage in Vietnam isunconscienable.Equally important, it becomes obvious that if thisinterminable war is to be stopped, every effort atevery level must be employed to stop it. At the indi¬vidual level this means direct and consistent resistance.As a personal moral stand, as well as a potentiallyeffective political effort, draft resistance should beseriously considered by all draft-eligible men.We pledge ourselves to “counsel, aid and abet”every man who dedicates himself to stopping the war.-4 77 THE CHICAGO MAROON March 1, 1968*t „ Letters to the EditorsLunch BreakThere’s been much recent talkon the legitimacy of guerilla the¬ater in University cafeterias.

A group was preventedfrom performing by a campuscop, presumably on orders fromabove. A recent satiric leafletcalling for a ban was distributedin jest and received support insome quarters. A number ofpoints should be made in re¬sponse:• The only “captives” inHutch are the people (myself in¬cluded) who have to eat that shitat those prices because the Uni¬versity has torn down every othereating place this side of 53rd St.If Chicago’s concern for captivesis anything but hypocrisy itshould stop forcing dorm studentsto buy meal contracts at outra¬geous prices ($1.85/dinner) andto live in the “privacy” of theirrooms where they only hear theirneighbor four doors down.• The social atmospherearound here is generally stifling.People walk around in the “pri¬vacy” of their own worlds, cutoff from each other. Politicsaside, GT might just make theatmosphere a little less uptight.Why not at least give it a try?• Students are quickly losingthe right to do anything but say“please boss, slurp, slurp” to ad¬ministrators. Fifty-seven weresuspended for a non-disruptivesit-in. Now perhaps the same willhappen for protest theater.Wayne Booth says leftists areAGAINST “Art, truth, and love-making”. Will we be suspendedFOR those now? After that,what’s left?• One has a “right to priva¬cy” at home, not ks- a public place. There’s no privacy inHutch anyway. GT might justmake that lack of privacy a littlemore interesting.• The effect, both political andartistic, of GT depends on it hit¬ting people during their normaldaily activity. When done in atheater, its purpose is destroyed.I feel sorry that Chuck O’Connellpurportedly a “competent” Eng¬lish teacher, doesn’t have thesensitivity to understand that.• Will the university forbidreal agents from making real ar¬rests in University buildings andso disturbing peoples’ “priva¬cy?” Or will they again say likeChuck the Knife, “But we can’tsuspend the government?”• Hutch was opened as a stu¬dent eating and gathering place.If anyone has a right to makerules on what’s good for studentsto see there, its students.• At least until students votein a binding referendum to banGT from Hutch, I suggest peoplewho want to do it continue to. Ifthreatened with discipline theymight really adopt guerilla tac¬tics — e.g., make quick hit andrun performances, perhaps inmasks, splitting before they canb3 served with summonses. Whenappropriate, such guerilla tacticsmight even be extended to ad¬ministrator’s offices, trusteemeetings, etc. Use your imagi¬nation !• We don’t have a “right” toprotection from the reality of thewar intruding on our sacred “pri¬vacy” while we stuff ourselvesand enjoy our privileges. Onereason the war can take placeis that our society successfullymakes killing and dying removed,impersonal, devoid of emotion orinvolvement. We have an obliga¬tion to displace the veil and al¬low people to feel the horror ofthe war because unfortunately,that’s the way it is, baby.

Stafford, Frank Horton,Richard S. Schweiker, Garner E. Shri-ver, and Charles W. Whalen, Jr. Re¬search and editorial assistance byDouglas Bailey and Stephen Herbits.The National Press, Inc. $2.95.by Tom MillerWritten in the witty prose that onlycongressional bureaucrats can master,this is a no-nonsense book that five Mem¬bers of Congress have put together todemonstrate the feasibility of reducingthe monthly draft-call to zero and creat¬ing an all-volunteer army.Aaided by two able researchers, theauthors show in case after case whydrafting anyone is impractical, even un¬economical. The b ook is written, itseems, simply out of the necessity toelucidate practicality of ending the draft.It is appalling that few if any of the rec¬ommendations the book makes havebeen carried out. Defense would put intoeffect virtually every change necessaryfor the draft call to be wiped out. It iscurious that Robert McNamara, in hisseven years heading Defense with a rep- zero ?utation for practical and economicmoves, never saw fit to create an all¬volunteer army. (It is shown in the bookthat the Johnson administration tendedto stifle government reports whichshowed the ease of the changeover to thevolunteer forces.)The main recommendation in the bookis that of a pay increase for army per¬sonnel. This, it is contended, would drawyoung men into the army. Anticipatingthat this idea would come under mostfire, it is this plan which is defended themost vigorously. An army of mercenar¬ies, claim the critics. Not so, say the au¬thors—on the contrary:It is a sad day when. . .the onlyway (to) maintain an honorable mil¬itary force is to compel people in itwho do not wish to do so. By whatpossible logic can one conclude thata draftee for military service is pre¬dictably more loyal and noble than avolunteer. ..?An army of Negroes who could get jobsnowhere else? Not really, rebut the au¬thors.Continued on page ten How to Stay Out of the Army: AGuide to Your Rights Under the DraftLaw, by Conrad /. Lynn. MonthlyReview Press, distributed by GrovePress. $1.25 paperback.The Draft: A Handbook of Facts andAlternatives,edited by Sol Tax. Uni¬versity of Chicago Press. $12.95.by David F. GreenbergI sat down to read The Draft: A Hand¬book of Facts and Alternatives with agood deal of hesitation. Since last -spring, my life and the lives of manywho are close to me have been boundup with the draft in a very personal way—several of my friends are now in pri¬son for draft offenses, and many moreof us will soon join them. Given this per¬sonal involvement, the impersonality ofThe Draft seemed at first to be almostas offensive as the impersonal workingsof the Selective Service System.The book itself, however, turned outto be fascinating. In December 1966, aconference on the draft was held at theUniversity of Chicago, with Ford Foun¬dation support. Quite a few distinguishedmen and women interested in the draftcame; Gen. Hershey, Morris Janowitz,Margaret Mead, Kenneth Boulding, andMilton Friedman were among those whowrote papers. Sol Tax has collected thepapers, the transcripts of the discussions,and several documents relating to theSelective Service Act of 1967, passed byCongress six months after theconference.Most of the papers presented to theconference are dull. The fascination ofthe book lies in the insights one obtainsinto the minds of those who participatedin the conference.Why was there a conference? Whydid so many people come to Chicago?,Why did they take themselves so seri¬ously? Professor Geoffrey Hazard of theUniversity of Chicago law school beganthe discussions by formulating certainquestions to which the conferees couldaddress themselves, observing that “wemay be confident that what is said herewill be given some heed somewhere.”He wasn’t completely wrong—those whohave to write book reviews will pay someattention to what was said. But not manyothers.Politics does not take place in a vac¬uum, and it rarely happens that publicpolicy is formulated by eminent profes¬sors reading and discussing carefullyconsidered proposals, as some of thosewho read papers seemed to think. Theconference itself came about becausestudents were sitting in on campusesacross the country. For the precedingtwenty years hardly anyone examinedthe draft, what it was and what effectsit- had. Only Janowitz pointed out that“it was the students who brought this issue so dramatically to the attention oftheir professors.”A paper by Gen. Lewis Hershey, di¬rector of Selective Service, began bydiscussing the purpose of Selective Ser¬vice. He observed that “The SelectiveService System has three basic respon¬sibilities:“1) To provide the Armed Forces withthe number of men they need when theywant them.“2) While doing this, to cause as littledisturbance as possible in the civilianeconomy.“3) To guide deferments into areas con¬sidered to be in the national interest bycompetent authority. . . All new ideasmust be committed to the scope of thesethree objectives. Any innovation, no mat¬ter how spectacular, that does not sup¬port or enhance the effectiveness ofof these basic purposes, has missed theboat. . .‘personal’ interest comes after‘national’ interest.. .”The last two of these purposes seemedto be quite new to most of the partici¬pants—showing, incidentally, how littleattention has been given in the past tothe workings of ^elective Service, forthese last two purposes are by no meanssecondary. Most of the papers simplydid not discuss “channeling.”Many of the papers presented reformsor alternatives to present methods ofmilitary recruitment. One of the frequentcriticisms related to the wide variationsin the way local boards handle cases.Often the military spokesmen showed re¬markable defensiveness in answeringsuch criticisms and it seemed clear,frequently, that the arguments theygave in favor of the present system werejustifications for a policy that was prac¬ticed for other reasons than the onesthey gave.One of the real surprises of the Con¬ference was the substantial sentiment,in the discussions, for abolishing thedraft and substituting a volunteer army.Quite a few participants were persuadedduring the course of the conference thatforced conscription was antithetical totraditional American values such as freechoice.A few participants tried to raise ques¬tions concerning the foreign and militarypolicies of the United States, and sug¬gested that the draft could not be con¬sidered in isolation from hte militarypurposes to which it was put. But mostof those present did not seem to be ter¬ribly interested in this, though there wassome agreement that such broader ques¬tions deserved investigation.Continued on page tenS' vV r-7Ci“i V'imainstream American historiographyshould come as no surprise; it is thehistorians themselves who have takensuch care to show that framework to bethe politics of our society. Thus, whenmodern historians tell us, as ours oftendo, that the chronicler of history shouldbe “value free”—should divorce himselffrom moral judgements—they in fact tellus that there is only today’s morality towork with.Thus Thomas C. Cochran writing onindustrialization can say with a straightface:The new (state and national) gov¬ernments were shaped by the needsof merchants, craftsmen, and com¬mercial farmers. Such governmentwas not a rigid structure run for thetraditional interests of a clerical orlay aristocracy, but rather a utilityset up by enterprising citizens toprovide order and aid cooperativeendeavor. If a bank, canal, factoryor railroad that seemed economicallydesirable could not secure adequateprivate financing, government wascalled upon to make up thedeficiency.What about the deficiency in medicalcare? in housing? in the general well¬being of the citizenry? The liberal ac¬cepts the radical/Marxist analysis butthen endorses precisely what the human¬ist opposes.Thus any challenge to the status quoconsensus, be it from the anti-Federal-ists, the abolitionists, the utopian social¬ists or Henry Wallace, was/is “unreal¬istic” and shares the quality of “failingto come to grips with the realities of themodern world.”To a society that defines “realism” inthe quantity of cars it produces, andhistory in terms of what strains did anddid not serve industralization and na¬tional consolidation, I can only ask aredefinition. Is not “realism” only thatwhich serves one’s fellow man? Is notthe importance of history to discoverthose events which have best served ormost arrested the expansion of man'sability to realize his human potential?Perhaps a good start toward such aredefinition in this country would be acritical comparative history explainingwhy a Camus, a Russell, a Gandhi anda Sartre can come from abroad whilethe best we seem to honor is a Walt Ros-tow and a Herman Kahn.Mr. Wasserman is a graduate studentin history at the University of Chi¬cago.CjL The Chicago Literary ReviewChief editorial offices: 1212 E. 59thStreet, Chicago, Illinois 60637.

Basic Books. $6.50.by Harvey WassermanThe belief that American history rep¬resents a unique national experience iswidely held among Americans of all po¬litical convictions. Similarly it has beenrecognized by the very competent liber¬al historian C. Vann Woodward that attimes American historiography has beenextremely parochial.To honor the fact that “of late a signif¬icant countercurrent has asserted itselfin American historical thought,” he hasedited a volume of articles purportingto compare American historical trendswith those of other countries.Unfortunately the volume is most re¬markable for its very paucity of sub¬stantive comparative history, and in thissense it is more than ample testimonyto the parochialism that continues tomark our history books. Ultimately onemust recognize that the lack stems onlyfrom the repeated unwillingness of main¬stream American historians to discernwhat historical issues are and are notworth pursuing.Urban historian Richard C. Wade, forexample, notes in his chapter on urban¬ization that “a Chicagoan quickly feelsat home in London, Paris, Milan orAmsterdam despite differences in nation¬ality, language, and custom. . . . Notonly have Western countries undergonethe same urban growth, but they havealso had to grapple with the same con¬sequences—slums, traffic, congestion,pollution, disorder, and the other illslumped together as ‘urban problems.’”Then the comparison stops. The au¬thor develops an historical analysis ofAmerican cities, concludes with the hap¬py note that urban renewal “has re¬moved some of the worst slums,” andties it all into the emergence of “a newmetropolitan world which will be thecommon environment of a large part ofevery future generation.”This is hardly “comparative history.”The author notes “one problem which isnew and dangerous is the developmentof large Negro ghettos in American ci¬ties.” Fine. What has happened in Lon¬don where similar developments havebeen occurring? Glasgow has slums asbad as any in the world—how does pub¬lic response there compare to it here?Is there anything to be learned from ization, of Burma’s approach to modern¬ization with respect to urban problems?What is it about Copenhagen and Amster¬dam that make them so much more liv¬able than American cities of comparablesize? Do other cities of the world haveinner-core problems, and if so what hasbeen their response? If not, why not?John Hope Franklin’s essay on “TheNegro Since Freedom” also seems re¬markably parochial. After the truly note¬worthy observation that “the 186,000 Ne¬groes who fought as soldiers during theCivil War wanted to save the Union; butthey doubtless viewed emancipation asan objective that was at least equallyworthy,” he cites the levels of equalityreached after emancipation in variouscountries. The information is worthwhile,yet in many ways bothersome, for itwould seem somewhat incomplete to of¬fer a history of the emancipated slavewithout at the same time dealing withthe attitudes of the liberating white pop¬ulations.David Potter writes that the signifi¬cance of the Civil War was that “moreperhaps than any event in Europe, (it)fused the two great forces of the nine¬teenth century—liberalism and national¬ism.” Franklin follows by commentingthat when Brazil freed her slaves a five-day national celebration was officiallydeclared.One can only wonder that the Ameri¬can slaves were freed at all. Why didBritain, at the urging of a church group,free her slaves thirty years before Amer¬ica and without war? To be sure therewere different circumstances, but whatbearing had they on the real motivationbehind freeing them here? How did ithappen that all but two Latin Americancountries freed their slaves before theU.S. freed hers almost by accident inthe midst of sectional war?We are left without an answer. Wereit not for the sectional economic and so¬cial conflicts between North and South,would the slaves ever have been freed?If, in other countries, “no ideology ofwhite supremacy had developed” and“there was no special legislation on thesubject of Negro-white relations” thenwhere did this country’s racism comefrom? Are similar phenomena prevalentin other countries today? Is it true thatwe must look to analogies as vile asSouth Africa, Rhodesia and Nazi Ger¬many? I cannot understand how the truly rel¬evant questions are so easily passedover. To be sure, there is much valuableinformation to be gleaned from theseessays. In an extremely valuable chap¬ter on the European and American En¬lightenments, Peter Gay writes:The relations of philosophes totheir state and their society differedin country after country; but the dif¬ference was not one of varying de¬grees of practicality, it was one ofpower. Whereas in the Europeancountries vested interests managedto defeat, absorb, or partially to hon¬or the demands of philosophes, inAmerica the philosophes became thevested interest.Thus Franklin was honored in Europeas the embodiment of the Enlighten¬ment’s opportunity to fulfill itself. Andfor America the Enlightenment meanta nation run by “pragmatic realism,”where politics could become for JohnAdams “a divine science.” R. R. Pal¬mer, in a chapter on the Revolution,notes the relative conservatism of theAmerican Revolution in relation to theFrench. Combined, the two chapters con¬firm the emphasis of Louis Hartz andDaniel, Boorstin in placing the base ofnearly all mainstream American politicswithin Lockean consensus. Here we findthe beginning of the end of ideology.Unfortunately, the observation is notcarried to its logical conclusion: whatare the effects of a situation in whichpower politics are defined strictly interms of a liberal versus a conservativeapproach to maintaining the Lockean sta¬tus quo? How do things work when donedifferently elsewhere?Indeed, what can one say about a coun¬try whose “mainstream historians” termJefferson’s revolutionary pronouncements“visionary and embarrassing,” and whopass over statements such as “Ameri¬cans often behaved less creditably asstatesmen than they had sounded as“philosophes” as if such a state of af¬fairs were not only normal but healthy?There is no denying that the presentdefines one’s approach to the past. Ifthe problems of today are racism, im¬perialism, unliveable cities and non-hu¬man government, then those should bethe topics of a comparative approach tohistory. But if the historian does not rec¬ognize these either as problems or asrealities of the society, then indeed onecannot expect their historical origins tobe traced through the history books.The liberal - Lockean framework ofEditor-in-Chief David L.

Hamilton. Ran¬dom House, Inc. $4.95 cloth, $1.95paperback.Whenever good white liberals get to¬gether these days to discuss what theycan do to fight for the black revolution,there is disagreement. Surely theremust be some role for the white person,who, feeling a little guilty for what hiscountry has done and is doing to the Ne¬groes, wants to correct some of thewrongdoing.The authors of “Black Power” presenta strong case for the answer — stay outof it, baby. Stokely Carmichael, formerchairman of the Student Non Violent Co¬ordinating Committee and Charles V.Hamilton of Roosevelt University’s po¬litical science department and Carmi¬chael’s political advisor, say the blackrevolution is a black man’s fight. He in¬vites whites to enlist in the fight, but onblack men’s terms for once. How manywhites will join a human rights revolu¬tion where they cannot take the role ofleader? How many whites will sit inthe rear of the bus and let the blacksdrive for once? How many whites willenlist in a program of Black Power thatcontinues to remind them how brutaland racist the white man has been?If there are any whites left who cando this, the authors say, here is the roleof the white in the black revolution:“Whites have access to groups in thesociety never reached by black people.They must get within those groups andhelp perform (an) essential educativefunction.. .One of the most disturbingthings about almost all white supportershas been that they are reluctant to gointo their own communities — which iswhere the racism exists — and work toget rid of it”The function of the white person in theBlack Power movement “is not to leador to set policy or to attempt to defineblack people to black people. Their roleis supportive.”As to the charge that Black Power isanti-white or reverse racism, the authorstry to refute it with the observation that“whenever black people have moved to¬ward genuinely independent action, thesociety has distorted their intentions ordamned their performance.”And so it is. Black Power today isamong the most misunderstood conceptsin the country. Just as white Americahas continued to talk about “the Negro problem” as if there were no “whiteproblem,” white America now talksabout “Black Power militants” as ifevery supporter of Black Power kept agun in one pocket and a firebomb in an¬other.It is true that the current chairman ofSNCC, Hubert Geroid (Rap) Brown, tellshis all-black audiences, “Get a gun,”but it should be no comfort to whitesor cause for desperation to blacks thatthere is an easier way than armed re¬volution to secure the legitimate rightsof all this country’s inhabitants. Ofcourse the fuse on this country’s raceproblems is getting shorter. To some itseems this country is moving relent¬lessly toward race war. To some, thatwar has already started.“Black Power” will surprise you forits tone of moderation. The authors in¬troduce their book by saying it “pre¬sents a political framework and ideologywhich represents the last reasonable op¬portunity for this society to work out itsracial problems short of prolonged de¬structive guerrilla warfare.”If such war is avoidable, the authorscontend, only Black Power for the na¬tion’s 20 million black people will avoidit. What is Black Power?In its essence it is political power. Car¬michael and Hamilton express their in¬sight into the way America works byrealizing that only political clout accom¬plishes action. Only through politicalpower can Negroes enjoy their duerights as citizens of America. Only byorganizing “house to house, neighbor¬hood to neighborhood, block to block,”as Floyd McKissick has said,, can theblack man hope to change his role inthis country.Black Power, in the way Hamilton andCarmichael describe it in their book, isa sensible, and most important, a work¬able mechansim for the black revolution.It is sensible because it tells blackpeople their goal “must not be to as¬similate into middleclass America, forthat class — as a whole — is without aviable conscience as regards humanity.The values of the middle class permit the perpetuation of the ravages of theblack community.”It is workable because it sees that theonly way to change one’s position in asociety such as ours is to fight for thatchange through the methods this countryunderstands best: organization, politicalpower, coalitions of equals.“Black Power,” the book and the con¬cept, tells black people, “The racial andcultural personality of the black com¬munity must win its freedom while pre¬serving its cultural integrity. Integrityincludes a pride — in the sense of self¬acceptance, not chauvinism — in beingblack, in the historical attainments andcontributions of black people.”“Black Power” calls for new forms,new institutions, new programs, to dothe necessary jobs the old structurescould not do, namely, give black peopletheir deserving share of this society,which they helped to build.Black people alone, of course, do notsense America’s lack of justice, its re¬luctance to exchange outmoded systemsfor better ones. But the problem is howto make more people see the racism inAmerica. But the authors neglect anyconcrete discussion of racism, treating itas a given that all readers of the bookunderstand. It is the book’s greatest fail¬ing that it offers little justification forthe fomenting of a black revolution otherthan the weak argument of we-got-it-coming-to-us-af ter400-years. Americadoes not share its rewards with thosewho earn them, but with those who takethem. The authors seem to presume thattheir readers have absorbed the wisdomof “Crisis in Black and White,” byCharles Silberman. “Black Power” is abook for all people, or should be. But forthose who read with a white mind, with¬out a commitment to change by anymeans, it is just half a book: a programwithout a background.Robert Maynard Hutchins, the presi¬dent of the Center for the Study of Dem¬ocratic Institutions, said in a speechin Chicago recently that America’s ans¬wer to justice is, “What can we think ofthat will keep people quiet but that will not require us to right the deep wrongsin our society?”“.. .We do not say,” Hutchins said,“let us treat black people like white. Wesay, let us admit them to our schoolsand give them the vote. It works out...that there are more children in segre¬gated schools now than in 1954, that inintegrated schools the tracking systemis being used to perpetuate segregationand poverty, and that the civil rightsmovement has effected no significantchange in the place of the Negro in oursociety.”Our answer to poverty is the same,Hutchins said. Don’t cut the economicpie into bigger shares, just make alarger pie.Without a commitment to change inthis country, even Negroes are beingsold an inferior philosophy. A Negro girlof about 21 years confronted a white re¬porter at the National Conference forNew Politics Convention in Chicago lastLabor Day weekend and said that whitesare through. “The future belongs toblack people,” she said with conviction.“I can go to Zambia, Tanganyika, Ghana.. .Where can you go? All you’ve got isAmerica and western Europe. That restof the world is mine.”So be it. But that girl is cheating her¬self. She left the best parts of the worldto the whites. The best place to confrontwhite racism is in white America. Thisis the lesson of “Black Power.” Do notrun away, black people, to Africa orwherever.The message is plain. “There can beno social order without social justice,”the authors say. But despite its modera¬tion, “Black Power” is a worthwhilebook for black and white reader alike.It plays some light on the Black Powercontroversy where mostly there hasbeen heat and emotion.“Black people must stop deludingthemselves that the basic intentions ofmost white people are good,” theauthors write. Freedom isn’t free, andblack people are beginning to feel thatthey deserve nothing if they do not fightfor it. It is not too late, probably, togive the black people something for no¬thing, to say that white America hasdone wrong and knows it. If Carmichaeland Hamilton are right, there are still afew moments left.Mr. Zwelling is a senior at Northwest¬ern University, majoring in journal¬ism.

William Morrow & Co.$5.by Harry W. ClarkThe current struggle of the black manhas been examined by many authors:while there are many superior analysesof the racial problem, C. Eric Lincoln’stext, Sounds of the Struggle, does notrank among them.Lincoln’s book is a collection of someof his previous articles, printed in var¬ious magazines and journals. Twelve ofthe eighteen articles were printed priorto 1966, dating back to 1960; therefore,the reader is given a retrospective dia¬logue as opposed to an insight into cur¬rent views.The first chapter, “Anxiety, Fear, andIntegration,” leads one to believe thatLincoln has implicit faith in the Amer¬ican ethic, in the esoteric platitudes ut¬tered by glib tongues, written by quickpens. One example is the view that theCivil War was really fought over the is¬sue of slavery and the moral questionraised by human bondage, an interpreta¬ tion which has proven to be a greatdeception. Lincoln gives the impressionthat he is capable of ignoring the in¬justices suffered by the black man forthe sake of academic “objectivity”:Every man is endowed with an in¬alienable right: life, liberty and thepursuit of happiness. This, we aretaught, is self-evident truth. But if inAmerica this escutcheon has beentarnished, whether through disuse,there may yet be time to brighten it.Anyone who has not been in hiding forthe major portion of a lifetime knowsthe tarnished state of Lincoln’s idealisticescutcheon; it’s far from bright.In the discussion of the Black Muslimmovement in America, which encom¬passes three chapters, Lincoln displaysa degree of insight, as he wrote in 1961:If the white man’s conscience re¬mains drugged, the flood of disillu¬sion will soon sweep even this lastfrail hope away.He was referring to the drastic changein the belief of the black man in the il¬lusionary “good intentions” of the whiteman. Speaking of Malcolm X, Lincoln states;“He was a remarkably gifted and charis¬matic leader whose hatreds and resent¬ments symbolized the dreadful stamp ofthe black ghetto.” In a 1965 article, Lin¬coln implied that he did not believe thatMalcolm X would have a far-reaching ef¬fect on the changing black image. Sincethe book offers no up-to-date reflectionon this idea, it can be concluded thatLincoln failed to assess the true impactthat Malcolm X had upon the black man:actually, Lincoln’s brevity does not shedenough light on the life of the martyredMalcolm.In short, this highly articulate rhetoric,as a contemporary volume, fails to offerany concrete proposals, which are muchneeded in these troubled times. The bookdoes succeed in redescribing a muchdescribed situation, i.e. the relative di¬lemma of the black American. It alsoenters briefly into socio-psychologicalramifications and reactions precipitatedby the social system in the UnitedStates.After presenting the bleak picture of the black American in an affluent soci¬ety, Lincoln inanely asks the black popu¬lace to love a flag, a country, a way oflife that has been the cause of untoldagony for the majority of black people.Talking about Vietnam in his last arti¬cle, he introspectively asks himself:Do you begrudge America her sur¬vival, even though she needs yourson? Your black, unequal son? Andfrom within me I hear myselfscream a hasty and guilty denial:No! No!There is nothing wrong with an indivi¬dual who loves his country; howeverthere is an extent to obliviousness. WhileLincoln takes a dim view of chauvinistsand radicals, he tends to manifest an o-pinion which is reflective of a dreamer.Lincoln’s analysis, therefore, can bedescribed as dry and sterile. It should benoted, however, that his book is not acommentary on what is happening, buton what has happened.Mr. Clark is a senior at Wayne StateUniversity, Detroit, majoring in chem-r- istr«-r- ■ : vt SiniUxm irMM*rc lt,r 1968,lo revengeor to dream?The Brigade, by Hanoch Bartov.

While Uris’s novel is dominat¬ed by action and personalities. Bartov’sis dominated by themes,with narrative and character develop¬ment serving mostly as a convenientframework for development of ideas.The brigade in the novel is made upof Palestinian Jews serving in the Bri¬tish army in World War II. Elisha Kruk,the narrator, is a boy who lied about hisage to enlist in the army and get in onthe action. By the time he joins the bri¬gade in Italy the war is all but over,so the only German soldiers he sees areprisoners, and the only shot he fires iswhen some Jewish soldiers try to rapea German girl.The major theme of the novel, then, isfrustration, both for Elisha the boy-mancharacter, and for Elisha as a represen¬tative ot the Jews. The end of the warbrings no relief from the dull wait forsomething to happen, as Elisha’s com¬pany moves from one camp to another,waiting for the time they enter Germanyand they can begin exacting their re-tvenge on the Germans.

Univ. of Wisconsin Press.$4.By Barbara WalshTage Aurell, in his book Rose of Jeri¬cho and Other Stories, has the unusualgift of making his reader co-creator inthe art of prose fiction. Ignoring thetraditional standards of fiction writing,Aurell boldly experiments with almostevery aspect of the short story, retainingonly the barest structure in which hischaracters can function. As a result, thereader must confront Aurell’s fictionwith imagination and determination. Hemust, as Professor Gosta Holm suggests,“read not only between the lines, butbetween the words as well.”The common themes of love, sickness,death, isolation, and frustration — theuniversal concerns of man — underscorethe whole of Aurell’s fiction. In an at¬tempt to approximate the trivial natureof man’s existence, Aurell poses no realconflicts, no arguments, no resolutions.Actually, very little “happens” in thenine stories included in this collection;man is viewed simply as he functions indaily life, often the victim of its tragicironies. In “True Confessions,” for ex¬ample, a conventioneer comes to the cityand stays to visit his prostitute daugh-« 43&1 J&xM• March, 1968 men thick as tree trunks. Not oneshell had scarred any of thosegleaming walls, not one bullet hadshattered those polished windows. . .We sat silently, with eyesclosed, inner voices whispering hyp¬notically, “Hate them, hate them,hate them. . .”The rest of the novel is dominated bythe play between the ideas of revengeand shame—the revenge the men feelthey are obligated to take on Germany,and the shame both of taking revengeand of not taking it. How can we callourselves men, they ask, if we implicitlyforgive the Germans by not punishingtheir families, by not hurting them theway they hurt us? And yet how manlywould it be to rape women and burnhouses, particularly when one could notuse the tensions of war as an excuse?Eventually, prudence wins out. Jewishrefugees from Europe continue to emi¬grate to Palestine, and the Labor partyin Britain takes over power from themore imperialistic Conservative party,There is a possibility now that the Bri¬tish government will allow the forma¬tion of an Israeli state. Consequentlythe Jewish soldiers i n Europe cannotembarrass the Jews back home or theBritish army in Europe by levelling Ger¬many like Tartars, as they might wantto do.Also, of course, the men find thatdreams of vengeance are more fun thanthe real thing. Ever since the Sermon onthe Mount, Christians seem to have as¬sumed that they invented the ideaof “turn the other cheek,” of retaliatingto an offense by “heaping coals of fire”on the offender’s head. As Bartovdemonstrates in his novel, the Jews havebeen practicing those virtues for a long¬er time and with greater earnestnessthan have the Christians. The Jewishsoldiers find that it is easier to hateimpersonally than to recognize real peo¬ple as the objects of hate, which wasprobably why the German concentration-camp technicians were so good at it.Most of the German people, includingthe cog-in-the-machine Adolf Eichmanns,did not hate the Jews personally. Butthey could allow themselves to be manip¬ulated by the genuine racists, becausethey saw the Jews as a little less thanactual people. They could not see the ab- \ * V. 4' %surdity of killing men, women and chil¬dren simply because these people hadbeen designated as “the enemy.” On theother hand, Jewish men in The Brigade,can hate the Nazis, but can finally onlydespise the Germans.Now the March into Germany, begunwith dreams of vengeful conquest, turnsto a nightmare of gloom and frustration.Many of the men in Elisha’s companywere born in Europe, but they find thattheir return to Europe is not a home¬coming. Even the refugees, trampledand pushed around by everybody else,despise the Jews. As the men approachOberammergau, where for centuries thetownspeople have annually staged thestory of Christ’s cruxification, one of themen, who grew up nearby, describeshow it was:“Thousands of people, students likeme, connoisseurs of folk art, just de¬cent citizens, sat there identifyingwith the play. And I, as the pageantstretched on for hours, I began torealize how ashamed I was—of beinga Jew. And terribly afraid, Any min¬ute the sign of Cain would appear onmy forehead and they would dragme off to Golgotha, overlooking theincredible scenery of Oberammer¬gau. Only years later d i d I realizewhat it all meant. . People say Na¬zism began in the beerhalls of Mu¬nich. Maybe so. But the deep rootsof the slaughter of the Jews arehere, on the border of the Tyrol andBavaria, in Oberammergau . . .”Now Elisha, at this point apparentlythe representative of the Jewish people,has to “do anything to escape that conti¬nent where I could not live either withour dead or with their living.”The book deserves to be read by any¬one who is interested in the dilemmas ofthe modern Israeli state, or in the prob¬lems of minorities in general. But read¬ing it as a novel, I found most of thebook quite dull, until the last fortypages. Then, the author discovers thathe can convey his ideas more vividlywith personality conflicts and dramaticaction than he can with the soliloquiesby Elisha that he uses earlier in t h ebook.Mr. Zorn is a senior history andgovernment major at Valparaiso Uni¬versity.the garden of the mindter. Stanoing in front of her apartment,he soon discovers that he is mistakenfor one of the many “peeping Toms”who frequent his daughter’s apartmenthouse. In another story, “Rose of Jeri¬cho,” an egocentric man whose knowl¬edge of the world is limited to the da¬phne and blue anemone in his garden iscomposing a lecture entitled “FantasticExcursions into Time and Space and in¬to Eternity and Infinity.”Perhaps Aurell’s most interesting ex¬periment is conducted in language andnarrative point of view. The laconic, im¬perfect speech of his characters is oftena reflection of the unconscious areas oftheir minds, seemingly unrelated to theaction or the situation in which the char¬acters are functioning. In order to ef¬fect in the reader a feeling that he, too,is actually involved in the disorder inthe character’s mind, Aurell constantlyshifts the point of view from stream ofconsciousness to third person limited to“the public voice.” Thus, the reader isnot only intimately involved in the maincharacter’s mind, but he is also thrustinto a situation in which he is unable topredict the outcome. He is, in effect,experiencing “the moment” with themain character. Because of the extreme complexity ofAurell’s writing, the reader is forced toeither abandon all hope of ever under¬standing him, or to concentrate so com¬pletely on the work before him that allthe sensations and associations experi¬enced by the characters will be intenselyrealized in the reader.While Aurell’s stories are all placed inSweden, he is not in any sense a “localcolorist.” His aim is universality, and heachieves this by depicting a very stark,unpainted back-drop in which he placesonly the most amorphous of characters.The reader, then, acts as co-creator in thefiction, imaginatively constructing boththe external setting and the physical des¬cription of the character.Undoubtedly, Aurell’s audience will belimited, and yet, for those who do per¬severe through this experimental prosefiction, the effort is extremely worth¬while.

They have approached, butthey have never really entered into them.If questioned, they will mutter that it isall very well to love Wolfe’s work inhigh school, but that, as an individualmatures, he will, inevitably, “grow outof” Wolfe. Such an attitude indicates nar¬row hearts and trivial minds; that thisattitude seems to be the prevailing criti¬cal evaluation of Wolfe may be a key tothe cultural sterility of much of ourtime.Pausing briefly to consider th2 specificbook being reviewed, Andrew Turnbull’snew biography of Wolfe, one must firstnote that Turnbull has worked hard. Allthe facts about Wolfe’s life seem to beincluded and in the correct order. Un¬fortunately, Turnbull takes Wolfe at facevalue, turning, in a near idolatory tone,the facts of Wolfe’s life into legend. In¬stead of a biography of Wolfe, Turnbullhas written an apology for him, long onrhetoric, long on information about peo¬ple Wolfe knew in the 20’s and 30’s, longon justification of Scribner’s (see above)relations with Wolfe, and short on anycritical evaluation of Wolfe’s lifework orof Wolfe’s manner of creation. In theprocess the real man is lost and his workis ignored. Of Wolfe’s death in 1938 Turn-bull writes:It was a shining day. Across theglobe, Neville Chamberlain had justlanded at the Munich airport for hispeace meeting with Hitler at Berch-tesgaden that afternoon. But inBaltimore something had gone out ofthe universe. There was a rent innature, a hole against the sky.By puffing up Wolfe the man in order tomake him appear a “great writer,”Turnbull has betrayed him.Betrayed him because now it will beeasier for easy minds to point to the de¬fects in Wolfe the man as the defects inWolfe the writer, and ignore Wolfe’swork. They won’t have to bother to readvery far in Wolfe’s books at all to con¬firm their opinion. At first glance, de¬fects seem to almost cry to be pointedout. Wolfe was excessive, he often over¬wrote, pouring himself into lyricism. Herepeated himself, he made himself thecenter of the universe. His works seemalmost without plan; three of the four“novels” were almost literally put to¬gether by Wolfe’s editors. Often his at¬tempts to be profound seem sophomoric.Yet, there is so much of value in thewriting of Thomas Wolfe. Throughouthis work, but perhaps most completelyin his first and most lyrical book, LookHomeward Angel, Wolfe makes the read¬er feel deeply the aching wonder ofmortality. Although all of Wolfe’s bookshave parts that are badly written, all of C■MV ...\| 2y 6nef5 OK my£od \ This is 50 beautiful !them have more parts that are poetical¬ly written.Wolfe has a marvelous ear for the my¬riad tongues that make the Americanlanguage; he is, perhaps, the most Amer¬ican of novelists. There is no better fic¬tional protrait of Boom and DepressionAmerica than in The Web and the Rockand You Can’t Go Home Again, Wolfe’slast book.. . .America went off the track some¬where. . .and now we look aroundand see we’ve gone places we didn’tmean to go. . . .Things that have be¬longed to the American dream sincethe beginning - they have becomejust words, too. The substance hasgone out of them - they’re not realany more.Who has better described America’sproblem in the 20th century?Wolfe also has the power to create liv¬ing characters, human at core but dis¬tinctly American. While the central char¬acters in the novels often fill the dimen¬sions of a Paul Bunyan, there are liter¬ally hundreds of other characters thatone does not so much read of as meet.Did Wolfe lift them from real life? Per¬haps, but that is unimportant. They nowexist outside real life. The hero’s moth¬er in Look Homeward Angel, Eliza Gant,may be known far better by the readerthan most people he meets elsewhere.He will understand how her early lifeand unhappy marriage formed her curi¬ ous combination of laborious thrift andaccumulation of property and sporadicgenerosity, how she could keep and livein a boarding house filled with near-pros¬titutes and alcoholics and yet maintainthat she was “as good as the best ofthem.” He will see the American mother,seeking to keep control of her son bysending him to Harvard for graduatestudy, study that will surely widen thegulf between them. He will see a part ofhimself.And Wolfe has high poetry, though of¬ten misused. He has a great ability tofeel, to fear, to marvel. And he canmake the reader do these, too, if thereader is able.If Wolfe’s work has all this, why is thecritical estimate of him so low? Thereis great fear in much of serious moderncreative life. A fear of being excessive,a fear of not being modern and original,a fear of looking foolish. Often there isa fear of attempting real creation. Weseem to have lost a sense of the whole,to have lost the preception of the “nor¬mal center,” the bases of humanity, ofwhich Irving Babbitt spoke.Not everything is “art,” but neither is“art” all of one type. The symphonies ofGustav Mahler are long, repetitive,sometimes slushy. But, in totality, theyare successful and beautiful attempts toexpress part of man’s nature—his yearn¬ing for transcendence. Fellini’s filmswillingly use cliches—even to the prosti¬ tute “with a heart of gold” - but out ofshadows he creates empathy with otherhuman beings. Fellini can make an au¬dience feel the human need to be lovedin others. Neither Mahler nor Fellini areignored because they are sometimessloppy or hackneyed. Not if one wishesto truly understand humanity and one’sself. What else is “art” for?If one loves Mahler, he may not ignoreBach or Scarlatti. Nor, if Fellini, Berg¬man. Nor, if Flaubert, or Fitzgerald,Wolfe. If “art” is conceived of as any¬thing that reveals humanity to itself,they are all “artists.” One may legiti¬mately differ about ranking them in theeternal pecking order of scholarly life,but one may not ignore them or “growout” of them.Yet, Wolfe is ignored or “grown outof.” It is said that he is alien to the “mo¬dern spirit.” If that is true, then there issomething wrong with the “modern spir¬it.” We seem to have lost the ability asWolft noted “to look at things and seethem as they are.” We have lost theperception of poetry and its possibility inour lives.“0 lost, and by the wind grieved,ghost, come back again.”Mr. Schnitzer, presently an anomalousstudent at the University of Chicago,never thought to apply to Princetonand, had he done so, would certainlyhave been rejected due to his grand¬mother.Don’t give me that old-time religionBut That I Can’t Believe, by John A.T. Robinson. New American Library.$4.95.by Sandra HilstBut That I Can’t Believe is not somuch the work of a pioneering theolo¬gian as it is a distillation of modern philo¬sophical thought on the subject of churchreform. People acquainted with thewritings of Bonhoeffer, Tillich, Kierke¬gaard, Buber, and Harvey Cox will prob¬ably gain little fresh insight from Robin¬son’s slim volume. Though often freshand illuminating, its ideas lack the scopeand intricacy of, for example, Bonhoef-fer’s Creation and Fall.What Robinson has done is move fromthe realm of the theoretical to that ofthe practical—he is not concerned withdiscovering truth, but with reformulatingit in terms that are meaningful. Hisbook is not a weighty dissertation onthe nature of man; written in an infor¬mal, conversational style, it is an at¬tempt to relate Christianity to modern culture. Under such unassuming chaptertitles as Adam and Eve, the VirginBirth, The Trinity, and Life After Death,Robinson re-evaluates the various Chris¬tian doctrines and dogmas.The crux of his message is that faithconsists solely in the affirmation ofChrist as “God for us,” that it does nothinge on accepting a particular biologi¬cal theory of swallowing a set of pre¬scribed truths set forth by the church.As he himself puts it, “doctrine was cre¬ated to describe, define, and safeguardan experience. But in the process theexperience seems to have drained rightout of it, the dogiru has become air¬borne, and we are asked if we believein the formula as though this were whatbeing a Christian means.”But That I Can’t Believe is written insimple, digestable English for a mass-circulation readership. What it lacks indepth—with regard to metaphysical spec¬ulation—it attempts to compensate for in breadth of coverage. It is saved frombecoming preachy by its sensitivity andwit. Of the traditional pictures of hellRobinson writes, “These were the horrorcomics of the day—published by thechurch.”Reflecting upon his own faith, hewrites, “I know my life to be groundedin a love which will not let me go. Itcomes to me as something completelyunconditional. . .For the rest, with somany of my generation, I am preparedto be agnostic. I just can’t imagine anafterlife, and it doesn’t help much totry.”In regard to the church, he writes, “Ibelieve that what the world would seeabove all from the Church is honesty—wherever it leads and whatever it costs.”Using that as a standard of judgment,But That I can’t Believe is an unquali¬fied success.Miss Hilst is a sophomore at Valpa¬raiso University, majoring in philos¬ophy.March, 1968 • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • 5Che:The ultimate victory of the revolutionaryReminiscences of the Cuban Revolu¬tionary War, by Che Guevara.

Sherwood An¬derson in Winesburg, Ohio, Edgar LeeMasters in Spoon River Anthology, andCarl Sandburg in many poems and prosepieces, are some who have worked withthe theme of exploring individual lives ina common setting; a setting to which in¬dividuals contribute and which exertsits corporate influence upon them in var¬ious ways.William H.

His writing style is rich; narra¬tive and descriptive phrases alike aretreasures of fine metaphor and excitingclarity. The five selections call up athree-dimensional area.Like his fellow chroniclers of the Mid¬west, Gass leaves one with feelings of avid reader of Marx or Mao is up in thehills. “Everwhar the U.S. flag flies, itseems to fly over bodies of both sides,”those who wanted it there, and those whodon’t.The most interesting part of this phe¬nomenon-trace it to naitonalism, comu-nist infiltration, or the victorious van¬guard of the proletariat—is the impotenceof U.S. forces to combat it. With morehigh explosives dropped in North Viet¬nam than in Germany during World WarII, with almost daily raids on Hanoi,with most conceivable supply routes cut,the guerrillas keep fighting, and appar¬ently successfully. Gen. “Chesty” West¬moreland, commander of U.S. expedi¬tionary forces in Vietnam, excuses theVietcong takeover of Saigon (supposedly5% of the city was destroyed by Viet¬cong including the fortress U.S. embas¬sy), on the grounds that “We knew itwas coming and there was no way tostop it.”concern, pathos, beauty, and horrorabout the everyday people he creates.But he includes two aspects rather un¬usual in this sort of story, (though notin modern fiction): a continual explora¬tion of the relationships between self andthings, and a disturbing struggle withthe unexplainable, which afflicts his char¬acters until they are aware of their un¬compromised loneliness.In each of the stories, painful self-awareness comes into the lives of themain characters. They find out how un¬comfortable their situations are, howmuch they are influenced by people theydislike, by things they did not realizewere important. One value is set againstanother, is preferred, then rejected witha sad shrug. New experiences or re-eval¬uation of old ones cause insecurity, des¬peration, or terrifying acquiescence.The first of the stories, “The PedersenKid”, combines fine evocation of the hos¬tile landscape, subtle probing of the. re¬lationships of the characters, the uncer- Marx defined a revolutionary as onewho fights for a change of control fromthe class in power to an oppressed class.This is the sort of game in which youcan substitute all the variables if youwish.

What all this seems to show isthat if you have a cause, and if you cangain the support of the people,'then youwin the game and Lyndon has to sendthe troops elsewhere (never home-theeconomy couldn’t take it). It is a ques¬tion of being there with the message,and staying alive long enough to deliverthat message. A country that lives withU.S. interests controlling its governmentis money in the bank, but a country thatfeels itself occupied by foreign invadersand resident traitors cannot be madeprofitable.The first goal of the revolutionary isto promote revolutionary consciousness.If the message is a good one, and if theefforts of the revolutionary are success¬ful, then the rest is simply staying aliveuntil the end. You cannot hold a countryand its resources when the people of thatcountry know you are an unparalleledevil. No matter how strong his forcesare, no matter how large his airforce,the time will come when the aggressorhas more to gain by leaving than bystaying. Territorial expansion of a pow¬erful nation into a nationalistically or¬iented one is at best a temporary thing.The old U.S. formulas of dollar diplo¬macy do not work with a populace thathas learned the bitter truths about thenew colonialism; the holders of the cap¬ital in the cities and those who live offthe peasants on the land are no longersafe from the attack in the night, thequick lunge and the silence of the hills.This is not to minimize the role of theguerrilla; he is an essential part of anyrevolutionary struggle.

Titles include PAPERBACKThe Prose of John Milton and The Com¬plete Poetry of John Donne.Two more Bantam books deserve spec¬ial attention — a reissue of The World’sLove Poetry edited by Michael RhetaMartin, and Folk Songs of the World, se¬lected by Charles Haywood. The formerof these two international anthologies isa lovely and moving collection of alltypes of love lyrics, the latter a rich pot¬pourri of songs of every sort from virtu¬ally every country in the world.New Directions has added quite a glit¬tering array of new titles. Among them:One Arm, Tennessee Williams’ first vol¬ume of funny, nostalgic, macabre shortfiction. John Hawkes’ “surrealist west¬ern” The Beetle Leg, and a sparse Wil¬liam Carlos Williams novel entitled InThe Money.

University of ChicagoPress. $4.50.by Richard HackIt is difficult to say why literary criti¬cism is relevant, especially when thebook market is so glutted with high-priced, specialized, and tedious volumes.It can be said immediately that Na¬thanael West has been pretty neglectedand that most critics do not admit him totheir canon; thus, Reid’s intelligentbook does justice to this novelist and hisvision as well as to the techniques ofparody and the popular arts.The Fiction of Nathanael West des¬cribes a modern tradition (from the sym¬bolists to the present) that was both de¬rived from and contributed to by the au¬thor of The Dream Life of Balso Snell,Miss Lonelyhearts, A Cool Million, andThe Day of the Locust. West’s work, es¬pecially his first novel, parodies the"precocious” and “avant-garde,” as wellas himself, and opposes “the perverseand extravagant artiness of the symbol¬ist-decadent tradition.” From this andrelated arguments—including one thatthe plot of Miss Lonelyhearts is bor¬rowed from Crime and Punishment—Reid shows West’s affinity to Dostoevsky,Tolstoy, and Flaubert. West, says Reid,was not much interested in the su¬periorities of the sensitive soul. Hetook the common symbolist materi¬als—a neurotic, exacerbated hero ina vulgarized world—and drew fromthem his own conclusion: in the vul¬garization of modern life, it is themasses who are the real victims.West treats both hero and prole withrespect and irony—there is a strong toneof destiny in his writing, for though hischaracters may choose roles for them-sleves, these roles are of mythic propor¬tion and therefore do not render theirowners’ forces any less dominant overtheir conscious wills.Although West portrays man as a vic¬tim of his past and present civilization,there is nevertheless some freedom in¬herent in West’s own role as artist. It istrue that he borrowed specific descrip¬ tive techniques from other writers, butWest’s newer versions are invariably im¬provements. They use only the essentialrhythms of the old, avoiding the redun¬dancies and adding much new, lean ma¬terial. It is in this area, technique, thatWest has most importance for contem¬porary writing, and Reid rightly spendsmuch time on this subject, interlacingit with paragraphs on West's sources.Especially interesting is the section “TheComic Strip Novel” in the chapter onMiss Lonelyhearts. West made creativeuse of the graphic arts, surrealism, andthe dream and hallucination. A line fromMiss Lonelyhearts quoted three times byReid is worthy of mention: “The graysky looked as if it had been rubbed witha soiled eraser.”Fortunately Reid often communicateshis deeper, personal experience of Westand writes incisively of the Westianvision:In both Anderson and West, the lifeforce produces endless grotesques—people warped by desires which haveno satisfaction or by miseries whichhave no cure. The specific evil of thelie is that it debases even the unhap¬piness of life. When focused on mere¬tricious objects, desire itself is de¬graded. And the false promise is al¬ways worse than real pain. The vic¬tim discovers that he has been swin¬dled, that he is a sucker as well as asufferer, and that therefore his mis¬erable life is a joke.The common fault of critics of litera¬ture is that they evaluate previous liter¬ary criticism in order to clear area fortheir own assumptions (a diversionarytactic), and that they discuss their sub¬jects as writers in relation to literarytradition, genre, chaft, and historicalepoch.Only rarely is there found a critic likeShelley who sees potential artistic effortin all human activity and who createsin his own right by positing any isolatedobject (or fragment of a single art work)as grounds for insight into cosmic, non-fractionated and independent, reality.Mr. Hack is a third-year student inthe College of the University of Chi¬cago.r ", ' it I'ty .1 \ V*» PLAYBACK World Drama series has added a volumeof warhorses of Classical French Drama(introduced by John Gassner), and NewDirections offers plays by a figure farremoved therefrom — The Infernal Ma¬chine by Jean Cocteau.

Del-mark Records, 7 W. Grand, Chicago60610. $5.Joseph Jarman, is a musician. He isno more (though some have defied himbehind his back), nor less (you call thatnoise ‘jazz’?). Music is Joseph Jarman.It is his life and his livelihood. As a lifeit is full of love and joy and beauty. As alivelihood it barely provides enough tofeed and clothe one sparse body. Joseph,like so many other black musicians whorefuse to sell their thing, has at times re¬sorted to menial jobs to pay the rent.Coming home tired from ‘work’, then sit¬ting down to compose ‘free music’ gets tobe a drag. Joseph couldn’t hack it. Nowhe forgets about paying the rent on time.By some strange magic, Joseph has man¬aged to survive and still retain enormousstrength for the music.Until 1965, there was a growing numberof young black musicians on Chicago’sSouth Side who, like Joseph, were find¬ing it hard to get work that didn’t meanplaying music to get sloshed by. Whenjazz began to take itself seriously and getbeyond mere entertainment, the new mu¬sicians were left without a paying audi¬ence. As the music became deeper andmore purposeful, the musicians acquireda new sense of artistic dignity and broth¬erhood.This emerging spirit finally crystal¬lized in the formation of the Associationfor the Advancement of Creative Musi¬cians. The AACM brought together somethirty young musicians and artists, andgave each member collective sanction todo his own thing. As an audience of hardcore listeners formed from ghetto peopleand University of Chicago students, theAACM found itself able to promote sev¬eral concerts almost every month. Jo¬seph Jarman was one of several musi¬cians who performed at the first AACMconcert held at the South Shore Ballroomin the summer of 1965. Today, despite in¬creased recognition from magazine crit¬ics and record companies, Joseph and DISCOGRAPHYJarman’sJazzhis brethren continue to depend on theAACM for spiritual and professional nour¬ishment.Someday, the musicians hope to starttheir own recording company. In themeantime, there are four records nowout by AACM groups. Joseph Jarman,Roscoe Mitchell, and Richard Abramseach have recorded with their groupson the Delmark label. Nessa Records hasrecently released an album of LesterBowie and quartet which includes Josephand Roscoe. While all these sides are buttwo-dimensional reproductions of anat least four-dimensional experience, theyare still beautiful to listen to, and pro¬vide a good sampling of the new music’spolymorphous powers.Joseph took his music into the record¬ing studio at a critical period in his ca¬reer. November 1966. Up until that timeJoseph had been writing much of hismusic for a quintet consisting of himself(on alto), Charles Clark (bass), Fred An¬derson (tenor), Billy Brimfield (trum¬pet), and Steve McCall drums). Thequintet had a strong muscular sound, andcombined a lot of fast soloing with sim¬ple, near-unison horn work. As the musicprogressed into open space, all fiveinstruments would cut loose into an orgyof free-playing. Joseph in his quartet wasmoving away from this raw energy to¬ ward a more intimate and sensitivesound. For the quartet, he assembled arhythm section that combined Charles onbass with Christopher Gaddy (piano) andThurman Barker (drums). By the timethis session was arranged, the quintethad begun to drift apart.Joseph, caught in transition betweenthe two groups, took both with him intothe studio. He recorded four pieces:“Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City”(quartet), “Adam’s Rib” (quintet), ~“Little Fox Run” (quintet plus Gaddy onmarimba), and “Song For” (the album’stitle track with all seven). Soon afterthis session, the quintet ceased to exist,and the quartet became Joseph’s primevehicle, along with numerous other com¬binations of up to thirteen AACM mu¬sicians.Little Fox Run and Adam’s Rib areboth shorter compositions. The first is aFred Anderson piece; the latter waswritten by Brimfield. Both are piecestypical of the quintet’s distinct sound.Little Fox Run superimposes a primitive,scale-like horn line, stable and even overa consistently frenetic rhythm ex¬change. It is as if the six musicians arefunctioning as different organs of thesame body. This is music that the braincan feel.“Song For” and “Non-Cognitive As¬ pects of the City” seem closer to whereJoseph is at now. Joseph in his compo¬sitions is a master of silence. Song Forbegins quietly with a tinkling bell andends quietly with a fading statement byCharles. In between is a triumphant“song for . . . .” The music exists for it¬self, Joseph says, with no ‘meaning’ out¬side itself. Yet the music tries hard toteach — “About the God within us all.”A song for liberation on hearing. A songfor love and peace.“Non-Cognitive Aspects of the City” isJoseph’s strongest statement on the rec¬ord. It is a poem, a manifesto indicatingthe callousness of the concrete pavement.If Joseph’s voice seems tinged with hateor anger, it is a sort of holy indignationspokei: by a man who loves even the ci¬ty, that “could have spirits amongstones.” Joseph’s music succeeds inturning the utmost violence into tender¬ness. Once unburdened by his words,Joseph quietly takes up the alto and gen¬erates a cosmopolitan lyricism thatsomehow recalls a Billie Holliday moodThe ambivalence of men’s feelings in theuncaring city.It is somehow strange to hear JosephJarman on record. Delmark took morethan thirteen months to release Song For.The quintet has long since split. Joseph’smusic has grown even stronger in thepast year. Since a Jarman performanceis more of a four-ring circus than a con¬cert, it is difficult to imagine a recordthat could capture the impact of Joseph’smusic on plastic.

New Ameri¬can Library. 95c (paperbound)With the second issue of the NewAmerican Review, we can be assuredof an addition to the small list of intel¬lectual journals in America, a list towhich additions are seldom made.The last one was the The New YorkReview of Books, which in the four yearssince its appearance has managed tonearly abort its format of essay-reviewsin favor of jumping on the back of thegalloping Newest Left. The New Repub¬lic, after making the leap for the magi¬cal 100,000 circulation, is panting heav¬ily. The New Leader, perhaps the bestof the lost, is largely ignored.Harper’s and Atlantic, which sold outlong ago for the subscription lists andtheir attendant advertisers, have luckilyfound themselves extremely competentyoung editors who recognize that whatthey can’t get for love in the way of con¬tributions, they can get for money. Thelove will come later.The Depression, The War, and TheFifties did away with several good mag¬azines (such as The American Mercury,Scribner’s, and The Dial). And the Mc-Luhan fanatics (though not the boohoohimself) threaten to do away the onesthat are left.So any new intellectual journals, goodor bad, should be greeted with interestand expectation, and the New AmericanReview is a very good one indeed.Edited by Theodore Solotaroff, whoedited Book Week (which died soon afterit lost its New York home base, the Her¬ ald Tribune), NAR combines the well-reflected essays and reviews of the otherjournals with the fictions and format ofNew World Writing. (New World Writ¬ing, which appeared between 1952 and1959, was also published by the NewAmerican Library.)NAR, No. 2, contains some fine shortfiction, all of it by relatively young andunknown writers. An exception is an ex¬ecrable “Autobiography: A Self-Re¬corded Fiction” by John Barth.There is a crazy story by Alan Fried¬man, “Willy-Nilly, about a hermaphro¬dite (“To comprehend my sexual situa¬tion, you really ought to see the before-and-after shots of my operation.”) E.L. Doctorow has a pop account of a popsinger and his love, Lovegirl, called“The Songs of Billy Bathgate,” whichis so far the best translation into fictionof the pop singer mentality. It includesthe lyrics to songs, among them “ShortOrder Cook (2:53),” “She’s Too Goodfor Me (2:04),” and “Song to the Lead¬ers of the Word (3:26).” There is a won¬derful, geographical sort of story byFranklin Russell. Edward Hoagland hasa black-humorous story about a soldierworking in a morgue.There are two more traditional storiesby Arlene Heyman and Joseph McElroy,which beat the New Yorker at its owngame. James McCormick has a superbpiece in the general absurdist style ofDonald Barthelme. A more intense storyalong similar lines is Robert Coover’sbrilliant “The Wayfarer,” which is aboutthe confrontation of an Orwellian execu¬tioner with a totally disinterested victim, and is perhaps the best thing in theReview.If these writers and their stories areany indication, the American short storyis far from dead, and is not evert mildlyill.Some reviewers criticized the firstNAR for slighting poetry, and so the re¬view went all out on the second. Thefirst thing in it, in fact, is a group ofpoems by Guenter Grass about Vietnam.The poems (in translation) are strangelyreminiscent of the American proletarianpoetry of the late thirties by such peopleas Kenneth Fearing and Muriel Rukey-ser. Grass’s “The Jellied Pig’s Head,”an allegory on one man’s impotence inthe nightmare world of global politics, ismagnificent. The other poems in the re¬view are neither as fine nor as poignant,but Robert David Cohen’s “Beef”is funny as hell and Stanley Moss’s“Poem Before Marriage” is absolutelydelightful.The backbone of the magazine, how¬ever, is the non-fiction. Every piece ofit is excellent (except possibly Mary Ell-man’s “Growing Up Hobbitic,” which Icould not bring myself to read) andStaughton Lynd’s “A Profession of His¬tory’ — apparently included as proof ofLynd’s scholarliness — which I onlyskimmed).Nat Hentoff’s “Reflections on BlackPower” is a definition of a term whichin the past has been made murkierevery time anyone mentioned it. Hentoffgives a clear and not oversimplified ex¬planation of what black power can dofor the blacks and how whites (alarmedby the seeming implication of black power — “If you’re not black you can'tbe with us, but if you’re not with us.we’ll kill you.”) should react.Marshall McLuhan is dealt with by NeilCompton and Milton Klonsky in a sectioncalled “NAR Perspectives.” Compton'sarticle is straight, scholarly, and help¬ful — it discusses McLuhan in terms ofthe differences between the Sophists andthe Aristotelians. Klonsky’s is hip, hilar¬ious, and probably irrelevant.Another section in the review is called“Looking at Films” and is written bythe very competent but somewhat dullfilm critic, Stanley Kauffman.New American Review No. 2 is evenbetter than No. 1 (which included suchfine articles as Theodore Rosazk’s at¬tack on the deliberate irrlevance ofmuch of academic research and RichardGilman’s analsyis of the audience ofMacBird). There are some things whichmight be improved, for example itsbland, bookish design. (Why is there noart work?) NAR has most of the advan¬tages of a book publisher with moneyand a distributing network and an editorwith time enough to work with a goodunencumberingly small staff.Stacked next to say four issues of Har¬per’s eight New York Reviews, or16 New Republics, the triannual NARcomes off superbly. But even takenalone, even if there were no Number 1and there were not to be any numbersin the future, the New American Reviewis a fine sampling of current Americanthought and writing.Mr. Black, managing editor of theChicago Maroon, is a second-year stu¬dent in the College of the Universityof Chicago.6 • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • March, 19681 sAngelica wet with wine.Tears sliding slowly Sup a forehead.Plastic heartbeats echoing/’amidst chromium rafters.Clarity of desecration.Turn yourself onwith a diamond needletravel with us inyour favorite color. /ROTARY CONNECTIONfrom Cadet/Concepta slight deviationfrom the normIP/LPS 312Single:Like a Rolling Stonebw Turn Me OnCadet/Concept 7000A «* I w i*~r ■ a * n * *Lynn:Not a reliable guide on the road to resistanceContinued from page oneI found many of the speeches pro¬foundly depressing. Most of the con¬ferees seemed to regard the young mensubject to the draft not as individualsconfronted by a vicious system, but as anatural resource, to be used in whatsomeone in the White House or the Pen¬tagon decides is the “national interest.”A few of the students present raisedquestions, but most of them were notabout to be drafted either, and it wasleft to an Antioch College professor tobring the individual back into the pic¬ture: “I hope that perhaps in the nextfew minutes someone will talk aboutsome of these issues in terms of whatindividuals want to do with theirlives. . . No one took him up on it.One wonders who will read this book.Legislators will probably not be facedwith the draft questions for several moreyears, and the book contains little ofvalue for those actually faced with thedraft.Conrad Lynn’s book, How to Stay Outof the Army, on the other hand, is writ¬ten with a specific audience clearly inmind. The book purports to be a guideto the draft laws and regulations, to helpyoung men stay out of the army. Theneed for such a book arises from thescarcity of sound and detailed informa¬tion from Selective Service itself.Unfortunately the book serves its pur¬pose poorly. There is no detailed infor¬mation on Selective Service procedures.Men are urged to request a hearing oran appeal from an unsatisfactory localboard decision, but no information isgiven on what to say at a hearing. Lynnnever mentions that a registrant (orsomeone to whom he has given writtenpermission) may consult his file at anytime, and may send material to hisboard for inclusion in his file.There are a number of significant mis-talks and omissions, and cases of badi advice. In discussing deferments, for ex-1 ample, Lynn omits any mention of the1-S-C category, which allows a studentwho recieves an induction order to finishhis school year (and reopen his case at| that time). His discussion of student de¬ferments omits any mention of the liabili¬ties attached to student deferments under1 the new law—namely, the difficulty inlater obtaining a dependency exemption,and the increased vulnerability if theorder of call for I-As were changed to a1 designated age group (such as all 19( year-olds).Lynn recommends to those who aretried for draft offenses to ask for a jurytrial but does not mention that men triedand convicted by juries are usually lev¬ied fines of up to $10,000 as well as jailsentences, while men who waive jurytrial are almost never fined. On the oth¬er hand, he points out that a wave ofinduction refusals followed by jury tri¬als could break down the legal system.Lynn mentions the case of JohnPrince, a black man who refused induc¬tion. His case, based on the absence ofNegroes on his draft board, twice result¬ed in hung juries. Prince, however, has since been convicted, given five years,and fined $10,000.A chapter on Canada is included, butthere is no solid information on how toget in, job opportunities, or life in Can¬ada. Most sections, in fact, consist of afew generalities and one or two caseswith which Lynn has had some experi¬ence, but no hard information. Nor isthere a bibliography.According to Lynn, his book containssufficient information for a registrant tohandle his own case, up to the point oftrial. This is a cruel deception. Draftlaws and regulations are much more in¬tricate than Lynn suggests, and a regis¬trant who wants to deal with his boardshould work closely with an experienceddraft counselor.This need is increased by the constantchanges in Selective Service practices.Although the law itself ordinarily chang¬es at most every four years, a constantstream of directives, memoranda andcourt decisions change the way casesare handled. Any book is therefore like¬ ly to be out of date shortly after itappears.Lynn has the reputation of being a rad-tical lawyer. He may very well beradical, as he is careful to speak of“blacks,” not “Negroes.” The book it¬self, however, is hardly “radical.” Itsadvice to students is, “do not let yourcourse of study be interrupted for anyreason. . .try to align your course ofstudy with the presumed ‘nationalhealth, safety or interest.”’ This is theadmonition of a worried middle-class fa¬ther, not of someone seriously interestedin changing the system.Lynn seems to believe that resistanceconsists of grabbing every deferment insight. It seems pretty clear to those act¬ually involved in resistance that this isnot a very effective strategy for chang¬ing the draft system, though it mayhelp isolated individuals.In the last few months, more than2000 have broken all ties with the Selec¬tive Service System. Those who havedone this demand of each man of draftage, not that he does as they have done,but that he confront in a serious way the meaning of the draft in relation to thelife he wants to live. Whereas the menat the draft conference found no incon¬gruity in deciding for others how to live,the Resistance asserts that each man isresponsible for his own life and actions.In the next year, many students whoare opposed to the war will be drafted.Many will have to decide, for the firsttime, how to make their own lives con¬form to their ideas. The options open tomost of them—going reluctantly into thearmy, leaving the country, or stayingand risking imprisonment—are not veryattractive.I hope that many will stay to resist.The liberal approach to change—rationaldiscourse—seems to have failed. Thereremains a radical approach: the simpleact of refusing to be part of a system oforganized murder, and encouragingothers to likewise refuse. What successthere will be remains to be seen.Mr. Greenberg, a PhD. candidate inthe Department of Physics at theUniversity of Chicago, is a staff work¬er for Chicago Area Draft'Resisters(CADRE).Where have all the recruiters gone?Continued from page oneThe main thing which has to be done,then, is a redistribution of funds used forpaying the salaries of army personnel.Another point raised by the Congress¬men is that fewer men would be neededin the armed forces if technical and cler¬ical jobs were ‘civilianized.’ Throughconservative estimate, it is shown that$500 can be saved when one Army job isturned over to a civilian. Not only wouldthe draft call be reduced and the qualityof the job increased, but the turnoverrate would also be less, meaning lesstraining expenses.Discussing entrance requirements, thebook notes that the physical and moralstandards for enlistees are higher thanthose for draftees. If there is to be anydiscrepancy at all, it urges enlistmentstandards should be easier to meet thanSelective Service standards. The conten¬tion that “it is abhorrent to think that ayoung man who attempts to enlist in theArmed Forces and is rejected is nonethe¬less subject to the draft” has a good dealof merit. Yet, it is pointed out, nothing isdone to equalize the standards of en¬trance to the services.It is not our military system whichshould be condemned for offering achance to the Negro, it is the civiliansector of our society which should becondemned for failing to allow theNegro to share. . .America’s prosper¬ity.The pay scale should not be above thatof a like-employed civilian, but should beequal to the civilian scale. The shockingfact is that military pay, including fringebenefits of excellent housing, fine cuisine,etc. is still less than the statutory mini¬mum wage. The authors show in a quotefrom John Kenneth Galbraith that the draft is merely an economic tool of acapitalist system. The economist says:The draft survives principally as adevice by which we use compulsionto get young men to serve at lessthen the market rate of pay. We shiftthe cost of military service from thewell-to-do-taxpayer. . .to the impecu¬nious young draftee. This is a highlyregressive arrangement that wewould not tolerate in any other area.If one assumes that the draft is to sup¬plement recruiting in filling the call-upfor any given month, and officially thePentagon does assume this, then it ishard to justify the fact that the draftcall for any given month is determinedprior to the recruiting quota for thatmonth. Recruiters are given a quota eachmonth, but this number tends to be amaximum and not a minimum, say theauthors. Thus the draft is inevitably anongoing necessity. A massive campaigncould continually enlist substantially more men, greatly reducing the draftcall, they suggest.In the early summer of 1963, it is point¬ed out, recruiting stations were actuallyclosed down to prevent voluntary enlist¬ment, since recruiting was going so wellthen. (Will success spoil your local armyrecruiter?) This, in turn, would havenoticeably reduced the draft call. Onemay innocently ask what is wrong withthat? The authors don’t know and pre¬sent an alternative to the present system:that the draft call for any month be de¬termined by the difference between thetotal call of the previous month and therecruitment of the previous month.Throughout the book the authors makeit clear that they are not out to abolishthe draft, but merely to reduce he draft-call to zero. This distinction is important—in certain crises and national emer¬gencies it may be necessary to draftyoung men. The mechanics will remain,but the draft call will hibernate.Why the President, a Congressionalcommittee, or the Defense Departmenthas not come up with a similar plan longago is difficult to fathom. This is not tobe read as a book. It is a lengthy reporton the findings of research into endingthe draft. It deserves and is getting moreattention that it would if it were pub¬lished by the bureaucrat’s best friend,the Government Printing Office. Usingmaterial available mainly for Congress¬men, these five co-authors have utilizedstaff and resource material well in doc¬umenting their case.One question remains: If the suggest¬ions in this book are carried out, whatwill we do with all the unemployed draftprotesters?Mr. Miller, whose Selective Servicenumber is 49-2-47-288, is a third-yearstudent at the College of Wooster,majoring in political science.10 ;• CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW m March,, 196.8It’s hardly Greek toLattimoreby Jack BergmanThe Odyssey of Homer ijti ModemTranslation, by Richmond Lattimore.Harper and Row. $8.95.An epic of over twelve thousand linesand divided into twenty four books, TheOdyssey is Homer’s famous and fasci¬nating tale of the homecoming of Odys¬seus, one of the chief heroes of the Tro¬jan war.

There are few good translations andthe subject of this review—the transla¬tion of the Odyssey by Richard Latti¬more—must be considered among thefinest available.In his translation of the Iliad, Latti¬more writes: “Matthew Arnold has stat¬ed that the translator of Homer mustbear in mind four qualities of his author:that he is rapid, plain and direct inthought and expression, plain and directin substance, and noble. Even one whodoes not agree in all details with Ar¬nold’s very interesting essay must con¬cede that Homer has these qualities. Ihave tried as hard as I could to repro¬duce the first three. I do not think no¬bility is a quality to be directly strivenfor; you must write as well as you can,and then see, or let others see, whetheror not the result is noble.”After reading his translation, I havecome away with the impression that Lat-timore’s rendition of the Odyssey doesindeed reproduce the first three qualitiesstated by Arnold and, in fact, does bringacross to the reader the nobility of theHomeric epic of Odysseus’s travels, andhis revenge on the suitors of his long-faithful wife Penelope. Lattimore writes neither in an Englishprose nor in a poetic dialect. Rather, hetranslates Homer’s Greek directly intoEnglish verse. The reader is constantlyaware of the fact that this is a transla¬tion. I was very impressed that Latti¬more follows as closely as he can theformula of the original in bringing thisawareness across. There is however noneof the heaviness which the reader mightanticipate in a literal translation. Ratherthe effect is that of an enjoyable folktale, well written and delicately woundwith the intricacies of the episodes.There are many phrases which strikeout at the reader saying, “I am literallytranslated,” but it is fun to read themand impressive to realize that they fitperfectly into the context of the transla¬tion. The reader must realize that Latti¬more has not given any priority to mo¬dern, common phrases, but has used un¬common work-by-work translation wherehe feels it suitable.I recommend Lattimore to every stu¬dent of the Odyssey. His translation mustbe considered among the finest everdone.Mr. Bergman recently attended theCollege of the University of Chicago.Professional journals...fromThe University of ChicagoPressnow include: The American Journalof Human GeneticsThe American NaturalistEugenics QuarterlyComparative Politics(First Issue: Fall, 1968)in addition to thesefine scholarly journalsfrom A to Z:£ The American Journal of SociologyThe Astrophysical JournalThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesThe Botanical GazetteBulletin of the Center for Children's BooksChild DevelopmentChild Development Abstracts and BibliographyMonographs of the Society for Researchin Child DevelopmentClassical PhilologyEconomic Development and Cultural ChangeThe Elementary School JournalEthicsHistory of ReligionsThe Journal of BusinessThe Journal of GeologyThe Journal of Infectious DiseasesThe Journal of Modem HistoryJournal of Near Eastern StudiesThe Journal of Political EconomyThe Journal of ReligionThe Library QuarterlyMechanical TranslationMidwayModem PhilologyPerspectives in Biology and MedicinePhysiological ZoologyThe School ReviewThe Social Service ReviewTechnology and CultureZygon: Journal of Religion and ScienceSince 1891 • The University of Chicago Press • 5750 Ellis Avenue • Chicago 60637March, 1968 • CHICAGO LITERARY REVIEW • UJWiWPritJWyWlWaaBPJffr*' I'Vm DOT 33KXQX BUOJMHarper and Row. $4.95.by Juliana GeranThe medium of language is so familiarand necessary, that its emotive subtle¬ties are often ignored or forgotten—untila poet selects powerful combinations.Much of After Experience is language atits best. Lucid, the poems suggest theirappropriate themes: loss and courage,nature, agony, and knowledge. Snod¬grass uses metaphor to reproduce exper¬ience - vivid, lived, important - avoidingambiguity for the sake of intense, clearcommunication.Although less unified than Heart’sNeedle (which won him the PulitzerPrize in 1960), After Experience is avery valuable book. The poems show re¬markable versatility: ironic, solemn, bit¬ter, or deeply gentle, they manage tomove.The title poem, one of the best, shocks,then becomes too explicit and threaten¬ing. Intertwined with the poet’s resolu¬tion to find value, a second voice speaksa prescription for murder: “take thefirst two fingers of your hand... and jamthem Into the eyes of your enemy.”While the poet continues to expound onthe merits of Supreme Happiness, prais¬ing righteousness, suddenly the elo¬quence chokes: with proper strength andknowledge, you can rip off the wholefacial mask, and it becomes clear thatthe murder is not hypothetical.The poem ends not with an accusationbut a confession:“And you, whiner, who wastesyour timeDawdling over the remorselessearth...“What evil, what unspeakable crimeHave you made your life worth?”So, the fittest must deserve to survive.Crimes need not be homicides. Natureperforms her own silent, horrifying languagedeeds. Take Old Fritz, in ‘“A Flat One”:like some “enormous damaged bug,” hefaces cancer. No good to himself or toanyone, the old man had been kept inthat Dark Age torture of hospital ma¬chinery, compelled to survive. The de¬tails of the death are realistic: there isnothing lyrical about catheters and oxy¬gen masks. But the old man’s agony,simple and dreadful, makes the readershrink. At nights, the moribund wouldcry like a whipped child:“In fierce old ageYou whimpered, tears stood on yourgun-metalBlue cheeks shaking with rageAnd terror. So much pain would fillYour room that when I left I’d prayThat if I came back the next dayI’d find you gone.”Until finally the man’s will shook loose.These two poems are already familiarto many. Snodgrass reads them often inhis personal apparances, emphasizingtheir origin in his own experience: in theNavy, a friend had told him how youcan rip the face, and by working withcancer patients Snodgrass came to knowtheir useless, terrific courage.But often he delights in pure imagery.“Matisse: The Red Studio” is a rhythmi¬ mmmmm mmmimrma* iranwaatyforbidden to the poet. “The Men’s Roomin the Collepe Chapel” is a tribute tochained emotion. The wounded soul, def¬iantly signing obscenities and names, isindeed the same soul that has paintedthe caves in beauty, has prayed to out¬lawed Good, and found the knowledgeto survive, though it be masterless. Po¬etry must speak for the unspeakable,since this constitutes much of the humanexperience.cal, seemingly rhapsodic but carefullyworked-out enumeration of objects thatliterally blend into one another, likepaint. The images serve to stretch theimagination, to reproduce the canvas.“Energy — crude, definitive and gay” isdeliberately unintelligible but effectiveand interesting. Similarly, “Monet: LeeNymphaes” is mildly impressionisticYet in “Autumn Theme” the imagery issober, descriptive. Sky appears “correctand glum,” sparrows pick their “leandiet,” and flowers have somehow losttheir namecards. Since the splash ofJuly, and its gods and goddesses whostood by the sundial (so “eminentlynude”) are now gone, the poet cannothelp noticing with reproach that “they”—who walk the public gardens now —conscientiously manage never to toucheach others’ hands. This observation is* a statement of fact but mostly a snare.Still, Snodgrass can be delicate with iro¬ny. Trivial birds, “rehearsing their oldmistakes,” a benevolent barberry bushsqueezing out a bud or so, and even toefat proprietor of orange benches, make“Point Pelee in March” quite a lovelyimage.Death and nature are, of course, tra- To Snodgrass, poetry is in some sensea form of knowledge. In “Planting aMagnolia,” there is awareness of thehistory and import of the plant, of itssurvival through the ages, as it has “de¬clared” itself, and stands beyond manwho arrogantly and illegitimately claimsownership of such living matter. It maybe relevant to add that Snodgrass at awriter’s conference expressed his rev¬erence for science — as it extends thescope of the poet’s mind and sense.But the poet’s main instrument is nei¬ther natural history nor psychology but,of course, language. The few translationsat the end of the book testify to the in¬curable love for word, sensitivity to itssound and shape. They are not literalbut literary translations, themselves newworks of originality in expression.We sometimes need to remember thatour words form raw material for art. In¬deed, the simplest of them are usually ,strongest. Here is how Snodgrass des¬cribes toe death of Emperor Maximil an: |“His brain unties, atoms start hurling 1out, blind, free,And he, whoever he was, is all finishedbeing.”That says everything and, possibly,more.Miss Geran is a third year student inthe College of the University of Chi¬cago, majoring in philosophy.*Suggested OutsideReadingfromrj'flf','!

It seems to methat a discussion of these attitudes fallsunder two headings: those which are in¬sane and encourage sexual irresponsibility,and those which are sane and which en¬courage not only sexual responsibility butsexual freedom, since the two always gotogether.Sex Is Somehow SeparateOne of the prominent attitudes whichcharacterizes our culture is that sex issomehow separate from the rest of life.This attitude makes sexuality and sexualdecision-making morally isolated. We donot decide hare in the same way that wemake our decisions in other realms. Sex isgoverned by special rules. For example,for most of you, around the time youreached puberty someone put a “sex man¬ual” in your hands. This was a documentwhich told you a great many facts whichyou already knew, and then proceeded toteach you that you were now entering onan area of life which had its own specialrules, hitherto concealed from you. Thevery concept of sex education betokensthe same subtle separation. We must givepeople a special education in the realm ofsex, rather than this becoming part oftheir whole learning experience in allrealms. However well-intentioned most sexeducation is, and however much we needit in our present context of confusion, itsvery presence shows that we have a tend¬ency to separate sex from the rest of life.What is most insidious about this is itsimplicit and sometimes explicit teachingthat there is a different basis for decision-making in the sexual realm than in all theother areas in which we make decisions.Therefore, one is prevented from applyinghere those values which govern your deci¬sions in all other important areas - voca¬tion, what you are going to do with yourlife, when and whom you are going tomarry, how you feel about war and peace,what your political commitments are, etc.This leads to decisions based on fear rath¬er than freedom. I once heard a prominentclergyman address a group of high schoolgirls and tell them that the primary moralcriterion in their sexual decisions wouldbe whether or not they would “present”themselves to their husbands as “usedgoods.”Sex is DirtyA second prevailing attitude in our timeis that sex itself is somehow at leastslightly tainted. It is naughty, not whole¬some. It is not a topic of polite conversa¬tion. And therefore our sexual acts becomeassociated with special feelings of guiltand fraught with connotations of impurity,shame, and secretiveness.Many of us in this kind of sophisticatedenvironment tend to think that we havebeen emancipated from this attitude. Wehave all kinds of pejorative words we shall use for it — like Puritan and Victorian.But I wonder if we really have been eman¬cipated. I wonder if pornographic litera¬ture would find the easy market it doesin this culture if we did not have someserious sexual hang-ups? There is a cer¬tain irony in the existence of magazineslike Playboy in this connection. (And letme say parenthetically that Playboy hard¬ly qualifies as good hard-line pornog¬raphy.) The irony of Playboy and some ofits counterparts is that its editorial policyconsistently decries the “sex is tainted”attitude, but the bulk of its readership isprobably drawn from those who secretlysuspect that sex really is slightly taintedand naughty.How emancipated can we be from thisattitude when sex can be so successfullycommercialized in our culture and usedto sell almost anything from deodorant tocigars? A transparent promise of sexuaifulfillment awaits you if you will smoke acertain unnamed mentholated cigarette,and then tiptoe through the lush greeneryof the tulips to a secret love tryst withyour handsome cigarette-smoking escort.And everyone knows what will happen ifthe gentleman does offer a Tiparillo to thelady! The prominence of the sexual motif in our advertising media and in the kindsof stories which tend to make up front¬page news indicate that we are both asex-saturated and a sex-starved society.And this is at least partly because we tendto think that sex is tainted.What is the alternative to this subtle butpervasive insanity? It might be to viewthe fact and the mystery of sexuality asessentially wholesome. Sex and the bodyare fundamental to being a person, a liv¬ing soul. To be me means, among otherthings, to be physically male. This view ofsex as wholesome and integral is also psy¬chologically sound. Sex is a fundamentaldimension of your identity. Perhaps whenwe begin to recognize and accept that, wecan begin to make more responsible deci¬sions about that investment of the wholeperson, rather than simply certain equip¬ment, which sexual activity represents.The Cult of the VirginA third prominent attitude of our time iswhat we might call the “cult of thevirgin.” The cult of the virgin refers to awhole syndrome of attitudes marked by apreoccupation with virginity and its moralvalue. It is related to what we havealready noted as a preoccupation withgenitality in preference to viewing sexuali¬ ty as part of the whole person. The cult ofthe virgin, as you all know, affirms thatthe maintenance of virginity is the ulti¬mate criterion in sexual morality.This strikes me as frankly insane. Itmechanizes sex. It depersonalizes you.And it effectively rules out interpersonalconsiderations in sexual decision-making.The cult of the virgin leads to that moralhypocrisy which you students have taughtme to call the maintenance of “technicalvirginity.” This is engagement in all kindsof intimacies, whether or not they are ap¬propriate to the level and meaning of one’srelationship, as long as virginity is techni¬cally maintained ... in the really patheticillusion that this makes one’s behaviormoral. The cult of the virgin reenforcesthe morally debilitating assumption thatthere is something special and untouch¬able about the sexual parts of the body. Itfocusses morality where it does not belong.What might be a sane alternative to thisparticular insanity? It might be to admitthat virginity per se has nothing to do withmorality. That is not to say that virginityis not important to some people for whatare probably very good reasons But it isto say that virginity is not the final criter¬ion (or even a very important criterion) inmaking responsible sexual decisions.There are probably just as many sexuallyirresponsible virgins as there are sexuallyriresponsible non-virgins.The Double StandardFinally we have the attitude known asthe sexual double standard. I almost hesi¬tate to mention the double standard anymore because it has become such a popu¬lar whipping boy for those who moralizein the realm of sex. And yet most of ourleading women’s colleges continue to per¬petuate the double standard in subtle andnot-so-subtle ways which make it clearthat it is still very much a part of our lifeand of the context in which we make deci¬sions about sex.The sexual double standard is theassumption that there is a different sexualmorality for men than for women. It isanalogous to the legal double standardwhich characterizes the so-called southernjustice and which asserts that there is adifferent legal standard for whites than forNegroes. And just as the double standarddehumanizes the Negro and makes an ani¬mal out of him, so the sexual double stand¬ard dehumanizes the woman and makes anobject out of her. For example, the cult ofthe virgin is almost universally applied towomen at Vassar, but rarely if everapplied to their counterparts at Yale. Like-Continued on Page ThreeThe Rev.

Directedby Howard A. Brown. Bond Chapel, 8:30The University of Chicago SymphonyOrchestra will present its winter quarterconcert this Saturday night at MandellHall. The Program consists of Brahms’Academic Festival Overture, Ives’ SecondSymphony, and Beethoven’s First PianoConcerto. The soloist in the BeethovenConcerto-is John Kim, winner of the Uni-THEATER versity’s 1967-8 concerto contest.Indian MusicIndian music has exploded onto the mu¬sical scene. Its influence is felt by classi¬cal system. Already schools for sitar, sa-rod, and tabla have sprung up in Califor¬nia, and Indian musicians have appearedin various capacities at a few adventurousuniversities. Unfortunately, Chicago hashad fewer Indian music events than thecoastal cities during the past year or two,but now Chicagoans will have a chance forin-depth exposure to the music of India.Ustad Ghulamhusain Khan, one of India’smost outstanding sitarists, and Ustad Niza-muddin Khan, a leading tabla player, wQlbe engaged as Musicians-in-Residence forthe Indian Music Seminar sponsored bythe University’s Committee on SouthernAsian Studies.The spring quarter activities of the sem¬inar will begin with a Festival of IndianMusic. There will be two concerts of NorthIndian music by the Musicians-in-Resi¬dence on Friday and Saturday, March 29and 30, and a concert on Saturday, April6, by T. Visvanathan, the leading SouthIndian flutist. Ustad Ghulamhusain Khanis the first front-rank performer from theIndore gharana — one of the two majorinstrumental traditions in North India —to perform in the U.S. His brilliant andTake Home a Theatrical Doggy BagGOING TO THE THEATER is like goingto a good restaurant—the proof of howgood it is is whether you take some of ithome in a doggy bag. Good theater doesnot stop when you fold the program up,stick it in your pocket and stumble outinto the mob in the aisle. It should pro¬voke discussion or at least thought whenyou are no longer in the vicinity of thefootlights.The three one-act plays presented byThe Chicago City Players (at the BairdHall Theater, 615 W. Wellington) offer ex¬amples of three qualities of theater.The Successful Life of Three by MariaIrene Fomes is called “a skit for vaude¬ville.” It is a series of blackouts usingthree characters telling the story of thefailures and success of a character namedThree. The comedy bases its humor onthe utilization of vaudeville techniques:old jokes, a finale song, and ridiculouscostumes. For a play like this, to make itmemorable, the acting must capture allof the old vaudeville gimmicks and playthem to the hilt. These actors did not.When they came in with flashing lights tosuggest an old-time silent movie, theywere not in step. Their punch lines werenot fast enough. A few of the lines usedGroucho Marx logic, picking up one wordand twisting the entire meaning of thethought. Groucho always went so fast thatno matter how illogical the progression, heconned you into thinking it was logical.This production was so clumsy and slowthat you could see the structure of thejoke. When a play depends so much onproduction and the production is not equalto the job, there is not much left to dis¬cuss later.The third play on the program, Lunch¬time by Leonard Melfi, was an enjoyableplay in the theater, but then what? Itused the age-old stage technique of sous¬ing the characters up and having themstrip off their social pretensions beforethe audience. It takes place in a Green¬wich Village apartment where a furniturerepairman comes to refinish a dressingtable for a rather well-to-do woman. Aftera few glasses of Scotch, it is discoveredthat her husband refuses to father a child,much to her dismay. This seems to be inthe refinisher’s line—just an added servicehe provides for rich women along with re¬moving the paint from their furniture.The play is pretty funny.

KathyRuhl showed just the right amount ofdrunken frustration at her husband’s ab-stanance and Jack Wallace was very goodas he casually took his clothes off antici¬pating their eventual rendez-vous in bed.In this instance it was the play that failedthe players. There is not much to it. Itwas a humorous situation using a routinetheater gimmick. It was all too familiar to lend much to an after-theater discus¬sion.The last of three (placed second on thebill), Calm Down Mother by Megan Terrydid leave you with much to take home. Itwas a series of vignettes about women (ofall types.) Starting from the beginnings ofbiological life, Miss Terry’s women scan¬ned all types of womenhood—from twenty-year old arguing with her younger sisterand her mother about contraceptives totwo toothless old cronies in an institution.Miss Terry smacked the audience hardwith her situations and the actors wereequal to the play. Kitty Amelianovich,Kathy Ruhl and Christina Ranallo whilethey played strong individuals, were verycohesive as a group. Movements whichplayed a large part in the sketches with¬out words were excellently coordinated.Miss Terry and Misses Amelianovich,Ruhl, and Ranallo presented the audiencewith something wonderful to take home asa souvenier. There is enough theater inthis play and production to last past yourIC stop. It is well worth the trip to seethis young active company.Jessica SiegelAntigone: Charming, AnnoyingANOUILH’S ANTIGONE IS a perfectlycrafted play. It can strike sparks againsteven the sofest stone, as it did last week¬end in a production charming and annoy¬ing by fitful turns.Director Reece Peterson’s staging in theround in Reynolds Club Theater expressedperfectly the audience-intimacy the playdemanded. But his open blocking blurredthis effect; the actors were usually closerto the audience than to each other, de¬stroying the visual unity of most scenes.Nigul Guner handled Antigone’s girlishjoys and girlish defiance well. Her read¬ings were sound, but her physical move¬ments were generally tight and unexpres-sive. As Creon, Jerry Troyer’s movementswere generally tight and expressive. How¬ever, he failed to establish Creon’s initialexpansive self-confidence, and, withoutthis contrast, Creon’s subsequent fright¬ened wrath was merely windy.Michael Milgrom, as the Chorus, under¬played his part with good effect, but University Theater PresentsANTIGONEDirected by Reece PetersonCHARACTERSChorus .AntigoneNurseIsmeneHaemonCreonPage ..GuardGuardGuardMessengerEurydicesometimes allowed his voice and his si¬lences to become distractingly stagey.Charles Fasano enjoyed supplying comicrelief as the Guard, but marred the pris¬on scene by allowing the dolt to feel un¬wonted pangs of sensivity.Caroline Heck and Ray Stoddard, as Is-mene and the Messenger overplayed ter¬ribly, while Steven Aronson and KatherineWheeler sketched neatly as Antigone’s lov¬er and Nanny, respectively.CYPRUS GALLANT distinctive style is substantially differentfrom that of any other sitarist who hasplayed in America. He will introduceAmerican audiences to the surbahar, aninstrument related to the sitar. His con¬certs will be his American debut and willbe followed by a concert tour of the U.S.There will be a series of lecture-demon¬strations by the Musicians-in-Residence tobe held on selected Tuesday evenings nextquarter. The seminar, which has met reg¬ularly through autumn and winter quarter,is being conducted by Brian Silver, agraduate student in South Asian languagesand civilization who recently returnedfrom a trip to India to record Indian mu- jsicians for both educational and commer¬cial purposes. Silver is himself a studentof Ustad Ghulamhusain Khan.The seminar is open to the public; fur¬ther information on the seminar activities,and on the availability of tickets for theFestival of Indian Music, may be obtainedfrom Judy Williams, Ext. 4340.TheaterAnother relatively old faithful is Shaw’sArms and the Man as produced by the St.Paul Players, St. Paul’s Church, 50th andDorchester, Friday and Saturday at 8:30($2.25, students $1.75), Sunday at 7:30 ($2,students 75 cents!!!). This, to this bird’smind, is the best theater seen on thiscampus this quarter, which is saying pret¬ty much.U-High continues its series of Russianfilms at the Clark Theater with Ballad ofa Soldier and Fate of a Man, Sunday, con¬tinuous showings all day, students 60 cents.Next week in WEEKEND: A specialissue completely devoted to planningand design in the University.Coming in the spring quarter: PopCulture in America, continued witharticles on subjects such as pop music,pop fiction, pop architecture, tele¬vision, and print.

Fox, and MichaelSorkin.SEXContinued from Page Onewise, the concept of sowing one’s wild oatsis widely winked at for men, but rarely ifever tolerated for wom°n. And then thereare college parietal rulas which do theirown fair share to perpetuate the doublestandard. There is a certain sad incongru¬ity about a sexually eligible, mature 21-year-old college senior being subject togreater social restrictions than a fuzzy-faced 17-year-old freshman man.What is a sane alternative to this insani¬ty? Might it not be the explicit dismissalof the double standard and a frontal as¬sault on those practices which support andperpetuate it as archaic vestiges of thepatriarchal dehumanization of women?But, and this is an important qualification,this should go hand-in-hand with a realis¬tic acknowledgement that women are sub¬ject to more obvious and more long-lastingphysiological consequences of the sexualact. That is, bluntly, it is women who be¬come pregnant. But wouldn’t it be moresane to come clean and be honest with our¬selves about pregnancy, viewing it as oneimportant contextual factor and potentialconsequence in sexual decision-making,qualified by the increasing availability ofeffective means of conception control forthose who are so inclined? That seemseminently more sane and responsiblethan flaunting pregnancy as a threat orusing it as a hidden agent in themoral condemnation of large numbers ofunmarried women.Well, in describing these four attitudes Ihave not said one word about what peopleshould do nor should not do. Neither haveI addressed myself, a college chaplain, tothe popular question about how “far” oneshould go. And I don’t know whether youshould or shouldn’t or how far you should,except in specific cases, contexts, situ¬ations, relationships.v,March 1, 1968 WEEKEND MAGAZINE V.l 3 lCINEMAChicago Ave. at MichiganAcademy Award WinnerCannes Grand Prize WinnerSTUDENT RATE$1.50 with I.D.

In hisnormal weight class of 177-lb., hewas undefeated in nine matches;wrestling overall, he compiled an excellent 14-2 record and amassed69 points for the team. He tookfirst in the 177-lb. division of boththe Lawrence and Lake Forest In¬vitational Tournaments and wasteam co-captain along with third-year Tim Ennis.The team as a whole finishedthe season with a record of fourwins and six loses, exactly the op¬posite of last year’s publishedmark. This year’s squad, however,defeated four of the five regularvarsity squads which last year’steam overcame, failing only to re¬peat last season’s upset of IIT. Allfour victories were at home.In addition, the team placed wellin tournament action as the grap-plers finished third in the CarthageQuadrangular Tournament, fifth inthe Lawrence Invitational, andeighth in the Lake Forest Tourney.The overall highlight of the yearwas probably the 17-16 victory overSt. Joseph’s College on February10. Chicago came from behind towin as Capser scored a decision inthe final match of the day. Also es¬ pecially memorable was the team’s35-7 defeat of Aurora a week lat¬er; this is the highest Chicagopoint total in a single meet in sev¬eral years.Commenting on the season,Coach Robert Plaskas said, “Al¬though we were inconsistent in win¬ning, we were gaining much ex¬perience and building for nextyear.”Coach Plaskas had anticipateda winning season, but the absenceof several expected veterans putall the weight on younger men. Ofthireten wrestlers competing, fivewere first-year students and anoth¬er five second-year; only a singlefourth-year man competed.Plaskas felt, however, that manyof his beginners gave “outstandingperformances,” and especially sin¬gled out Steve Biggs, 10-7 in the137-lb. class; Dave Clark, 10-8 in the123-lb. competition; and GeorgeLane, 2-6 in 177-lb. and heavyweightclasses.

They attributedthis not only to the lack of fac¬ilities but also to “unstimulating”associations they were forced tomake with the other prisoners.Psychological PressuresThe former inmates claimed that,although they had the oppportunityto take courses and to read most of the literature that they wanted,the atmosphere was not conduciveto personal advancement, explain¬ing that “the federal prison systemis pretty soft as far as creaturecomforts go: pressures are basical¬ly psychological.”Living in a society without priva¬cy, women, or children, and notknowing when one will be released,pressures the mind considerably,they agreed.The living facilities in the prisonranged from “honor dormitories”where each inmate has his own room, to the “captain’s hole,” asteel-walled, windowless dungeonwhere a prisoner is forced to livefor seven days on bread, peas, andwater. The normal living quarters,however, were “open dorms”which are similar to army bar¬racks.Animosity, HostilityThe draft resisters said theyfound considerable animosity to¬ward conscientious objectors onthe part of some guards and paroleofficers, because of what theycalled the “understanding that CO’s have struck against far more fund¬amental social rules than othercriminals.”As a result, both former prison¬ers found that “acting in an open¬ly hostile way” in prison was verypsychologically satisfying.“Going to jail is not a particular¬ly good response to draft resist¬ance,” concluded one of the form¬er inmates.“If you don’t want to co¬operate with the draft, then makesure that when they come aroundto your door, you aren’t there.”mmmmm %Maroon Classified AdvertisementsRATES: For University students, faculty,and staff: 50 cents per line, 40 cents perline repeat.For non-UnlversIty clientele: 75 cents perline, 60 cents per line repeat.
