Strikers Vote To EscalateUnless Administration YieldsProtesting students voted Wednesday toadd demands dealing with University rac¬ism and to escalate the strike Friday ifthere is no response from the adminis¬tration.About 400 students attended the meetingheld in Cobb Hall’s Quantrell auditoriumWednesday afternoon after the first day ofthe strike. Andy Arato, a graduate studentin history, chaired the meeting.Students overwhelmingly accepted threeadditional demands:• That the University set up a free day-fare center for children of all Universityemployees, faculty and students.• The University end destruction ofbuildings in Woodlawn and begin construc¬tion of good low-income housing for poorblacks displaced by urban renewal.• That all University facilities be opento the community.A proposal to admit all black and ThirdWorld students applying to the class of74 was defeated.It was agreed that the non-violent strikeof Wednesday was successful and would becontinued Thursday. A proposal that in the event of in¬adequate administration to the demands byThursday afternoon, the Cobb strike shouldescalate to include a general strike withmilitant pickets in front of Cobb, Classics,Wieboldt, Eckhart, Kent, Rosenwald, andSoc Sci, was passed overwhelmingly by theoody.Proposals to limit the general strike toSoc Sci and Cobb and to include the Fermiinstitute and the computer center werevoted down.A proposal that the demand dealing withthe disciplinary committees be the centraldemand in the strike was also voted down.At the opening of the meeting, the stu¬dents voted to kick out several adminis¬trators and a campus policeman who werepresent. Karl Bemesderfer, assistant Deanof the College, and Joseph Shulman, edito¬rial assistant in Public Information, andthe policeman left the room.Shulman returned several minutes later,and was forced to leave by severall stu¬dents.Continued on Page Five David TravisTakeover?A dozen screaming members of the “Salvation Air Force” flew into the adminis¬tration building Thursday afternoon and succeeded in closing it.Led by Jeff Maso and Harold Sheridan, both expelled, the protestors milled about inthe lobby as campus security closed off the bursar’s office and University photograph¬ers snapped pictures.“I have an announcement,” Sheridan shouted repeatedly. “We’re closing down thebuilding at three.”When the “Force” returned to its base at Cobb Hall, campus police locked the east jdoor of the ad building.The protestors attacked the west door at 3 pm, but found it, too, locked and guarded.The building remained closed for more than 15 minutes.THE MAROONFriday, April 11, 1969Students Picketing CobbIn Protest Of DisciplineDavid TravisCIRCLE "C": Students res! near Cobb Hall during Thursday's pickiting. By Jim Haefemeyer and Steve CookProtestors have voted to expand a strikeagainst classes and to build for what theycall a militant picket at a University pow¬er center if their demands are not met.A meeting of more than 250 persons atCobb Hall Thursday afternoon voted to ex¬pand non-militant picketing at Cobb Hall toinclude at least one or two other buildings.A strike on classes in Cobb Hall wasabout 70 percent effective Wednesday andThursday.Wednesday there were more classes heldin Cobb than on Thursday, but the totalnumber of students going to class in Cobbremained about the same both days.Organized by the Committee of 500, pro¬testors demand:• That all disciplinary actions be re¬scinded and that workers they say werefired for political reasons be rehired.• That the Kalven report be dropped.• That a free day care center be estab¬lished.• That Woodlawn housing destructionstop, and that construction begin.Though its implementation was left tothe discretion of strikers, a “militant”picket would obstruct the entrance to a fa¬cility. Harper library and the computercenter were mentioned as possible strikepoints. Thursday is a probable date.“You place bodies in front of a door¬way,” said Miles Mogulescu, expelled ’69,who put forth the motion. “If violence isused it has to be used against the demon¬strators.”Meanwhile, some of the faculty mem¬bers who signed a petition protesting theexpulsions have planned to hold a vigil infront of the adminsitration building at noonMonday.“We’ll simply stand in silence to showour concern for what has been happening to the University,” said Gilbert F White,professor of geography.At noon on Wednesday there were fewerthan 100 students in Cobb. On Thursday thenumber was slightly higher. Thursdayclass sizes ranged from full strength to farbelow normal. All Wednesday classesseemed to have suffered greatly in termsof student attendance.Several professors sympathetic to thestrike cancelled their classes or movedthem out of Cobb. Others did not hold classin Cobb to avoid forcing students to crosspicket lines.Classes held in early morning and lateafternoon were better attended than thoseheld in the middle of the day. Entrances toCobb were not blocked by pickets untilabout 10 am Wednesday and noon Thurs¬day. The second and third floor entrancesto Cobb from Gates-Blake were not pick¬eted at all on Thursday. Traffic throughthese doors seemed to be very light, how¬ever.Pickets at the doors of Cobb did notphysically obstruct students from going toclasses, but all students trying to enter the jbuilding were asked to stay out if they didnot support the University’s disciplinaryactions. There were a few minor incidentsof pushing, but no punches were thrown.Some 20 to 30 pickets circled the eastentrance of Cobb carrying signs and chan¬ting “Join the strike, shut it down”. Thepickets carried signs protesting the Univer¬sity’s disciplinary policies.The Cobb Hall basement coffee shop re¬mained open during the two days. Busi¬ness, however, was far below normal. Dur¬ing the normally heavy noon hour onlyabout 25 customers were present Thurs¬day. On Thursday the coffee shop did notcarry pastries in anticipation of bad busi¬ness.

The three were loelected at a meeting Wednesday.The dissident faculty and staff memberssigned a petition last week requesting thatany disciplinary action be postponed untilthe American Association of UniversityProfessors (AAUP) guidelines are follow¬ed.Another petition, signed by some 1,100students, was presented to dean of studentsCharles O’Connell Thursday.The petition said, “We the undersigned,Dixon To Teach at McGill;Asserts Radicals BlacklistedMarlene Dixon, the spark of last quar¬ter’s sit-in, will be in Canada next yearteaching at McGill University, Montreal.Mrs Dixon, who was not offered perman-nent reappointment by the department ofsociology here, will be teaching socialtheory and Marx at McGill, Simon FrazerUniversity, Vancouver, British Columbia,was the only other university to offer hera position.‘ There was no job for me in the UnitedStates. I received no offers at all here.There is no doubt in my mind that this is apolitical problem,” said Mrs Dixon.MARLENE DIXONGoing to Canada Referring to a possible blacklist againsther, Mrs. Dixon said “In my case the de¬tails were reported in Newsweek and alladministrators read Newsweek so the ad¬ministration might not have had to call upanyone.”However, she did affirm that there wassuch a blacklist operating and cited theexamples of Staughton Lynd and JesseLemisch as proof.Referring to the strike on campus, MrsDixon said “I support the strike. I was onthe picket lines. What’s been going on here— it’s outrageous. I was speaking to a pro¬fessor at Columbia and even he said ‘Atleast we aren’t that bad.’“I think you fight political suppressionby any means possible. The seriousness ofthe Chicago situation should be stressed.The consequences of other universities us¬ing the Chicago model of expelling stu¬dents could be disastrous,” she added.Mrs Dixon did not sign the faculty peti¬tion calling for a reexamination of the dis¬ciplinary procedures. “I don’t think thatthe petition is strong enough,” she said.“The issue is not to re-try the expelled stu¬dents. The issue is that the University wascommitting a political purge and that thestudents should be readmitted and the ad¬ministration should be tried.”Mrs Dixon also said that deciding justhow far the student strikers should go “isa practical question. It depends on the re¬sponse of the administration and whetherthe students at this University are willingto defend themselves.”College To Hold Curriculum MeetingsAdministrators, students, and faculty areto meet this weekend in the College Cur¬riculum Conference in an attempt to crys¬tallize general thoughts on reform into sol¬id proposals.Today at 3:30 pm in Cobb Hall’s Quan-Deans' OfficesBecause of inaccuracies in Tues¬day’s Maroon listing of the newoffices of the the deans of studentsof the divisions, a corrected listfollows: biology dean Joseph Cei-thaml, Billings Hospital—GMH 117;humanities dean Peter Dembowski,Wieboldt 105; phy sci dean SolKrasner, Jones 215; and socialscience dean Fred Zimring, SocialScience 108. trell auditorium there will be a student fo¬rum on love and justice in student-facultyrelationships and a later discussion on stu¬dent-faculty relations: mutual obligationsand responsibilities.Saturday there will occur discussions ofthe common core and general education inmeetings of the four divisions involved. OnSunday, reform in individual courses willbe pondered in meetings throughout theday. Tuesday, to conclude the five-day con¬ference, all proposals will be reported in aguideline for curriculum reform.Students are urged to prepare proposalsin advance and to notify relevant faculty ofquestions and problems which could be dis¬cussed. The organizers of the conferencedescribe it as “an effort of students towork collectively to improve and revitalizethe college curriculum.”ATTENTION PHOTOGRAPHERS\^e are offering you plea¬surable weekend work pho¬tographing college parties; thepay is good and previous ex¬perience is not required; call685-7601 and ask for Bob.PIZZAplatterPizza, Fried ChickenItalian FoodsCompare the Price!1460 E. 53rd Ml 3-2800WE DELIVER Tuxedo RentalsSpecial Discounts forWashington PromenadeCohn * StemtUuutu Sc (EampiiHShopIN THE HYDE PARK SHOPPING CENTER55th 4 LAKE PARKopen Thursday & Friday evenings if** r,r r jr *Fa enatein the name of reason and humanity, peti¬tion you to rescind your expulsion orderseffective Feb. 27, 1969. The petition wasalso signed by some of the faculty and re¬search associates who signed last week’spetition on AAUP guidelines.Members of the meeting also discussedstatements in the AAUP guidelines in ad¬dition to those quoted in the petition, whichcalled for student representation on dis¬ciplinary committees and “significant stu¬dent participation” in formulation of stan¬dards of conduct.The guidelines, passed in June 1967 bythe AAUP and ten other college organiza¬tions, also state thatTo minimize the risk of improper dis¬closure academic and disciplinary rec¬ords should be separate and the condi¬tions of access to each should be setforth in an explicit policy statement.Transcripts of academic records shouldcontain only information about acade¬mic status. Information from disciplin¬ary .. . files should not be availableto unauthorized persons on campus, orto any person off campus without theexpress consent of the student involvedexcept under legal compulsion or incases where the safety of persons orproperty is involved. No records shouldbe kept which reflect the political ac¬tivities or beliefs of students ...” Eight more faculty members havesigned the petition since Tuesday’s Ma¬roon. They are assistant professor of politi¬cal science Filippe Schmitter, assistantprofessor of history Noel Swerdlow, assis¬tant professor of business Ralph Underhill,assistant professor of English DonaldScheehan, professor of divinity GibsonWinter, intern in history John Wilson, staffmember in biology Pat Bradley, and assis¬tant professor of psychology and philoso¬phy Eugene Gendlin. The group plans tocanvass the rest of the faculty intensivelyfor more signatures.CorrectionIn last Friday’s issue the Maroonincorrectly reported that 64 facultymembers of the faculty had signeda petition demanding that no disci¬plinary action be taken until a com¬mittee is constituted which conformsto guidelines of the American As¬sociation of University Professors.Fifteen of these are research as¬sociates. The petition, which has nowgathered more signatures, was pre¬sented to the committee of the coun¬cil of the faculty senate, not only toPresident Edward Levi as the storyreported.MUSICRAFT SPECIALKLH Model 24 PRICE REDUCTION~—COMPLETE STEREO MUSIC SYSTEMWas $319.95 KLH’s "Twenty-Four" sounds like twice its sizeplays stereo FM broadcasts and stereo records asfew consoles or component systems can.

He called the 1966 decision todiscipline students disrupting the “legiti¬mate means of communication or per¬suasion” with action not excluding ex¬pulsion “proper and honorable.”He also examined the criteria for dis¬ciplinary actions and the disparity of pun¬ishments, saying that the degree and dura¬tion of each student’s participation in thesit-in as well as his willingness to adhereto established disciplinary procedures con¬stituted major factors in the decisions. Hetermed the punishments invoked as the“only meaningful sanctions available to anacademic institution . . . sanctions whoseauthorization by the council was widely an¬nounced before the sit-in began.” He alsoreferred to them as “the only means bywhich a university ... can protect itselfagainst coercion from within.”GuggenheimsSeven faculty members at the Universityhave received Guggenheim FellowshipAwards for 1969.They were among 270 scholars, scien¬tists, and artists chosen for the awardsfrom among 1,977 applicants by the com¬mittee of selection of the John Simon Gug¬genheim Memorial Foundation.The seven faculty members and the proj¬ects they will undertake as GuggenheimFellows are:• Joachim Birke, assistant professor ofgermanic languages and literatures: Thecompletion of a critical edition of the works of Johan C.

They are in¬troduced with the comment “There followsa review of the properties owned by the University of Chicago in the surroundingcommunity and of some of the University’scontributions to the community.”Included among the reprints are state¬ments by the University concerning landholdings in the campus area, urban devel¬opment in South Campus and the redevel¬opment program in Hyde Park-Kenwood.The back four pages of the booklet in¬cludes a listing of the humanities collegiatedivision student council members, a chartshowing the officers of the house organiza¬tions and an advice column entitled “Tri¬bulation Wholesome.”Police Bust Harvard Sit-in;Students React with StrikeHarvard University students have beguna four-day strike to protest a police bust ofa student sit-in.Helmeted state police evicted some 300students from a university building Thurs¬day where the undergraduates were de¬manding an end to the school’s ROTC pro¬gram. Some 2,000 students voted for thestrike of classes Thursday after the policeaction.Students occupied the building Wednes¬day noon and forced eight deans out oftheir offices. They demanded an imme¬diate end to all ROTC programs oncampus. President Nathan Pusey said thedemands could not be taken seriously.He said Harvard had contracts with themilitary and that these could be renego¬tiated in light of the faculty’s decision todeny academic credit for ROTC and to re¬move instructor status from ROTC teach¬ers.President Pusey, defended his calling thepolice by saying it was a choice betweenthat or doing nothing.At Stanford University a massive sit-inbegan Wednesday night protesting militaryresearch at the school. An estimated 400students occupied the electronic laboratorywhere military research is conducted.At a mass meeting Wednesday afternoonstudents voted by a two-to-one margin tooccupy the building immediately. Theyalso informed the trustees that classifiedmilitary research on campus must cease.At a trustees’ meeting Monday the Univer¬sity Research Institute was instructed notto engage in new contracts in chemicaland biological warfare research. They didnot answer any of the other radicals’ de¬mands.At Southern University in New Orleans20 black students were arrested during ademonstration in which students replaced the American flag with a black, green andred liberation flag.Protest centered around the demand thatcollege Dean Emmett Bashful be fired, tui¬tion be reduced, and black studies coursesincreased. Bashful locked himself into hisoffice at one point to escape students. Po¬lice cleared the building and released thedean. Classes were suspended for the restof the day. Demonstrators said the schoolwould remain closed.500 CirculatesWarning LetterThe Committee of 500, the group sponsor¬ing the strike against University dis¬ciplinary actions and racism, is circulatinga letter to student newspapers warning stu¬dents not to come to the University of Chi¬cago. The letter is sent in response to onefrom dean of students Charles O’Connell,which warned accepted candidates to theUniversity on the University’s policy ondisruptive demonstrations.“We urge all those who have just beenaccepted to the University of Chicago torefuse that offer, to boycott this Universityin order to demonstrate that its presentpolitically repressive policy is as intoler¬able to potential students as it is intoler¬able to present students,” the letter stated.The committee attacked the disciplinaryactions following the February sit-in as“the most severe disciplinary vendetta tooccur at any university.”“It became immediately clear from thedisciplinary proceedings that it was not fortheir “disruptive actions” that studentswere being disciplined; punishment wasbeing meted out with respect to the stu¬dent’s political views concerning the na¬ture and policy of the University.”Friday, April 11LECTURE: "The MidEast Crisis: talk by Bob Green-blatt".

Dean of Students Charles D O’Connellhas announced that 33 students suspendedafter the sit-in have appealed to him re¬garding the decision of the disciplinarycommittee.O’Connell in a report Wednesday saidthat 19 of the cases appealed to him hadbeen decided while 14 still awaited consid¬eration and decision. In five of the appeals,no change in the committee’s recommen¬dations was made. In 14 of the 19, the pun¬ishment was eased.Of the remaining 14, six are from ex¬pelled students and eight from suspendedstudents. O’Connell stressed that all caseswere being carefully considered and thatnothing prevented an expelled studentfrom re-applying to the University. He alsostated that appeals are still beingaccepted.Disciplinary proceedings are not politicalsupression, says the master of the NewCollegiate Division James M. Redfield.Redfield said in a statement issuedThursday, “If some one steals books fromthe library and then appears before a com¬ mittee to declare himself a follower ofProudhon and a believer in the doctrinethat property is theft, the committee whichsuspends him is not punishing him for actsconsistent with his beliefs.“An act cannot be made political by call¬ing it political,” he said, “nor can anycommunity survive if all acts declaredconsistent with some political premise aretreated as the exercise of free speech.”Calling disciplinary proceedings0 dis¬tasteful, Redfield said they are in the in¬terests of students as much as any oneelse.“The University of Chicago lives on itsmorale. It is located in an unpleasant city,in a nasty climate, a thousand miles fromanywhere; most members of this facultycould immediately increase their salariesby going to other universities. They arehere rather than elsewhere because theyvalue their colleagues and their relationswith their colleagues and their students.“If the web of those relations is torn theUniversity will fall in on itself.”Strike Altered Cobb ClassesContinued from Page Onegallery on the fourth floor of Cobb waslocked.The following is a partial list of classesscheduled in Cobb Wednesday and Thurs¬day:Anthropology 215Western Civ sec 18Western Civ sec 16Western Civ sec 01Phil Psych 204Psych 201 lectureChineseGerman 103 sec 05 cancelledcancelledcancelledcancelledmoved from Cobbe down, 50 presentnormal10 present German 106Hist 475West Civ sec 10West Civ sec 09Hum 105 sec 04Soc Sci 113 sec 06West Civ sec 15Hum 109 sec 05Hum 109 sec 06West civ sec 17West Civ sec 17Math 152 sec 51So-b- •H.sw.B.o 242 sec 01(all secs)sec 01v sec 0207 sec 20Indi i Civ, Rudolph cancelledmoved from Cobbattendance down, 9 presentattendance down, 7 presentattendance down, 8 presentcancelledattendance down, 7 presentmovedattendance down slightly, 15 presentattendance down, 4 presentattendance down, 4 present13 presentattendance down, 7 presentattendance downcancelledcancelledmoved from Cobb’s sec attendance downDavid TravisSTRIKE: Students march in picket line during Thursday's demonstration.'500' Meetings Form Student PlansContinued from Page OneThe decision to boycott Cobb Hall classesWednesday came at a Tuesday mass meet¬ing called by the committee of j00.Students voted to keep W jdnesday non¬violent but to decide upon future tactics ata meeting held after the first day of thestrike. A proposal to make the actionWednesday more militant was narrowlydefeated.About 750 students attended the MandelHall meeting called to decide upon actionin response to the University disciplinarycommittees’ treatment of participants inlast quarter’s sit-in. Marlene Dixon, whosefiring was a central issue in that protest,was the keynote speaker in the Wednesdaymeeting.The proposal for a strike passed 420-38,with 29 students abstaining, after about 30minutes of discussion. A proposed amend¬ ment to include militant picket lines, whichwould physically restrain students from en¬tering classes in Cobb, was voted down187-144. A proposal to include the issue ofUniversity racism in the demands was ta¬bled until the Wednesday meeting.Danus Skene, graduate student in politi¬cal science and member of the steeringcommittee of the committee of 500, chairedthe meeting. First on the agenda was Mrs.Dixon’s speech. She said that it is the de-liberate policy of the University to“purge” activist students.“Chicago, if it gets away with this dis¬play,” she said, “will be the model for thefuture. Therefore, it must be opposed. Wemust do so by any means at hand.”She emphasized the role of students inopposing University policies. * “Vigilancewithout militanee is impotence,” she said.April 11, 1969/The Chicago Maroon/5EDITORIALThe StrikeBoycotting classes is a hard thing to do at theUniversity of Chicago because we are here first tostudy and to learn and not to change the University.But we do live and work here for three or four yearsor more and we are deeply committed to the Uni¬versity (“It is our University, too.”) and when thereis something very badly wrong about the University,a strike is the most meaningful thing we can do. Andwhen talking and meeting and writing has not evenbrought a complete explanation from the faculty orthe administration, we must strike.The issue is that 42 students have been expelledand 81 suspended. Their judges and prosecuterswere two disciplinary committees made up entirelyof faculty. Their trials were held in a hotly politicalatmosphere. The hearings wer conducted with moreconcern to expedience than to justice: most motionsmade by student lawyers were rejected out of hand;many of the trials were rushed; the courtrooms weresmall and members of the faculty were permitted totake up the few seats before students were allowedin."Think for a minute, what it meansfor a student to be expelled. Andnot only expelled, but fired fromyour university job. And houndedto the university you apply instead.Think what it means. And multiplythat by 42 ..."The sentences varied not so much as to partici¬pation as to political intent. Nine students were triedand expelled in absentia. And the only appeal is tothe dean of students, the executioner.Think, for a minute, what it means for a studentto be expelled. And not only expelled, but fired fromyour University job. And hounded to the Universityyou apply instead. Think what it means. And mul¬tiply that by 42. And add the 81 suspensions. Andthe injustice of the whole disciplinary proceedings.And the outrage of the silence of the faculty.And think about your University, our Univer¬sity, and whether we can sit silently and watch thispurge. And whether we can calmly go to class, andcross picket lines, and accept being told that it'snot our University and that we should have no sayin the really important matters.Certainly we don’t all agree on the tactics, andwe don’t all agree on the issues. (Though the Ma¬roon believes the demands against racism are rele¬vant and important and should be pressed now, andan editorial will discuss them in the next issue.)But we must unite against the disciplinary actionsand the ethics that brought them.This strike is now peaceful. Some of us believethat two months is long enough to wait, and thatlocking arms in front of a building has not one-hundreth of the force of a powerful institution perm¬anently excluding 42 of its members. But we willgive the administration and faculty yet anotherweek to respond.Join us. At least do not cross the pickets. Thisis our University, too. The University's MissionBy Mitch BobkinDuring the past two and a half months certain phrases and terms becameextremely popular in discussions about the disciplinary proceedings and the nature ofthe University. Among these “in” terms were “rational discourse”, “meaningfuldialogue” and “The Mission of the University” (always in capital letters). The last ofthese, stated in th e Kalven committee report, is by far the least understood and whenunderstood, the most frightening. Considering that 42 students have been expelledbecause of their violation of this “Mission” it is about time that this idea of a missionfor the University be examined in the light in which it has been used — specifically,in disciplinary procedures.The Kalven committee report defines the “Mission of the University” as not anyspecific objective or goal, but rather as a desire to promote “rational discourse” (thatnice term again and to, conversely, condemn any desire to use coercion against theUniversity. The “Mission”, therefore, is a method rather than a goal. It could also becalled a desire to foster “the life of the mind” or, as some have put it, thinkinginstead of acting.Naturally, when confronted with objections from students that the disciplinaryprocedures of this University (the Oaks and Shireman committees) have practicedpolitical suppression, the administration simply states that this is not true becausethe “Mission” is a method, not a desire to weed anyone out. Charles O’Connell in astatement published April 8 again defended the disciplinary committees when he said“Both disciplinary committees based their individual decisions on the extent anddegree of the student’s involvement, in the disruptive incidents for participation inwhich he was summoned to he committee, the nature of the student’s response tothe summons, and, in some cases at least, the student’s previous record of disciplinaryinvolvement or lack of it during his time at the University.”The problem arises though, that the words of O’Connell and the other spokesmenof the administration are contradicted by what we all have seen happen in the lasttwo months. O’Connell’s words clearly show that the students were indeed being triedfor a violation of the “Mission of the University” yet the disciplinary committeesthemselves did not try the students with this in mind.The following story, now circulating around campus, while possibly not accurate,is a fair summary of what has been going on here. A father of an expelled studentsupposedly approached dean of students Charles O’Connell and asked why his son hadbeen expelled. O’Connell simply answered that the man’s son had been expelledbecause of his participation in a “disruptive” demonstration. The father then askedwhy others, who had participated in more disruptive actions than his son had receivedlighter punishments. “Well,” O’Connell is reported to have said, “your son is an activemember of SDS.”Is it merely a coincidence that almost the entire membership of SDS is expelled orsuspended for such long lengths of time that no one could possibly conceive of thembeing students again? Or did the disciplinary committees make some kind ofdistinction, although perhaps not verbally between a sincere but misled non-SDSmember who participated in the sit-in, and the “hard-core, militant” SDS member'.’O’Connell has said that punishments were meted out on the basis of degree ofviolation of “The Mission of the University” or the number of coercive demonstrationsthat an indivdual participated in. It simply didn’t work that way. At the hearings ofmany students (if not all of them), questions such as “What are your politicalbeliefs?”, “How many SDS meetings have you gone to?” or “Have you participatedin demonstrations in other years?” arose.If the Univesity was giving out punishments as they said they were, thesequestions were clearly irrelevant. Yet, they were asked. Students objected that thesequestions were not fair, but were always overruled. Clearly, these questions wereimportant to the decisions reached, yet the University has said that politics was notimportant. Why then were these questions asked and why were answers demanded tothem?Hypothetically, let us suppose that Howie Machtinger had appeared before adisciplinary committee. Does anyone doubt that he would have been expelled?However, he did not participate in all the demonstrations and was not in the adbuilding as often as many others, being conspicuous in his absence.Therefore, under the University’s definition of a crime, his violation would havenot been as extreme as those who were expelled. Doesn’t sound too likely, does it?What rationale would the University have used in this case, if it was not politicalsuppression?It might have been said by the administration that the politics of thesedemonstrators states that coercion is a fair form of action and that because of this,coercion and their politics are inseparable. Then why does the University keepinsisting that politics is not and cannot be a part of the disciplinary procedure?Obviously, the whole mess with the disciplinary committees got way out of hand,and the administration is now trying to justify what was done. However, they are notcorrelating what they say and what was done. Perhaps the best thing to do would beto reconsider “The Mission of the University” in the light of the practical experiencethat we have seen and to either rewrite the “Mission” or get the discipline in linewith the theory.Mitch Bobkin is a first year student and assistant editor of the Maroon.THE CHICAGO MAROONEditor: Roger BlackBusiness Manager: Jerry LevyNews Editor: Caroline HeckPhotography Editor: David TravisCopy Editor: Sue LothAssistant Editor: Mitch BobkinNews Board:Disciplinary Committee: Leslie StraussUndergraduates: Wendy (MocknerNational Student News: < on HitchcockGraduate Students: Rob CooleyNews Staff: Jim Hafemeyer, Sylvia Piechocka,Bruce Norton, Steve Cook, Paula Szewzyk,Gerard Leval, Richard Paroutaud, AlfredRyan, Freida Murray, Marv Bittner, DebbyDobish, Bliir Kilpatrick, Leonard Zax.Photography Staff: Phil Lathrop, Paul Stelter,Howie Schamest, Steve Aoki, Ben Gilbert.

The per¬vasive state of fear, not unmixed withshame, over what this University has vis¬ited upon over 100 students has demonstra¬ted, to the unperceptive observer, that totalrepression and control in an in¬stitutionalized setting is, indeed, functional.The bloody, gaping amputation of con¬cerned activist students and faculty fromthe shaking and festering body of this Uni¬versity has, however, demonstrated dra¬matically the insecurity and tenuousness ofits position. Total suppression may befunctional for the short-run survival of aregime but the urge to freedom, self-actua¬lization, and true pluralism is, I believe, awhite-hot flame and simply undeniable. Itis a movement with large-scale, social rootsand one which, sooner or later, the Univer¬sity of Chicago must confront.There are many ominous overtones, nev¬ertheless, to the present situation at theUniversity. Perhaps the most threatening,if saddening, has been the reaction of thefaculty. Students could hardly expect theprofessors to aid in sharing their powerand decision-making for suicide by a rulingelite, except in situations of greatest crisisand duress, is not generic to the humancondition.Human, all too human, but at least thelines of conflict formation are well-definedand we can drop cant of “communicationsbreakdowns.”But when, from a faculty numberingsome 1200, a pitiful (but courageous) 64sign the moderate petition of the AmericanAssociation of University Professors askingfor a review of disciplinary procedureswhich elated the AAUP charter requiringvoting s dent participation on all such dis-ciplinar bodies, we can be sure somethingis basi ',!y wrong with the internalizationof “traditional democratic values.”And when Dean of Students Charles D.O'Connell can act out his fitting, vindictiverole as prosecutor Vishinsky and warn OldWestbury College of the activities of ex¬pelled students who have applied therewhile this same man intimidates those yetborn, incoming freshmen, with the punish¬ment of disruptive activity which will fol¬low like night the day and no faculty mem¬bers rise to the occasion, we understandthe paralyzing nature of systematic repres¬sion met by uncommitted silence.The kennel gates are opening and thereare powerful, foamy-mouthed mastffs with¬in. Surely, even the most insensitive stu¬dent might think, the University of Chi¬cago, gadfly to the nation, refuse of rene¬gades such as Thorstein Veblen and JohnDewey, will not act as paradigm for such amovement.And while such things are happening,where are our faculty, the people to whomwe look for guidance ruled by reason andcourage, our ego-ideals. Overwhelmingly,they stand passively while student careersare smashed, ideals desecrated andmocked, and punishment unjustly andwildly flailed about. The pace-setting harsh¬ness of discipline at the University of Chi¬cago is in the finest traditions of nnovation,rigor, and systematization and I supposethat our mentors may take pride from this.If the lights are going out all over theUnited States, the University may remin¬isce, in future years, that it was one ofthe principal lamp dousers.But, I still have hopes, blindly perhaps,that our faculty will not allow the dis¬ciplinary decisions to stand, that politicalfirings from student jobs will sicken them,and they will be jolted out of their apathyand that they will take some action toblock what is, in essentials, an atrocity.I harbor such hopes because I feel thatmost faculty members here are capable ofabstract and theoretical modes of thoughtwhich will allow a leaping of time-space boundaries to permit a realization thatrepression is simply not functional to theperpetuation of a vulnerable institutionsuch as a university. Isolated groups whichare driven “up against the Ivy Wall,” astatus of an increasing number of students,tend to become more hostile, aggressive,irrational, and careless of their own per¬sons.It is not my purpose to beseech the fac¬ulty, in the name of justice and ethics, toredeem themselves for past omissions.Such cries fall on all too critical (and nowperhaps cynical) ears and are patronizing.But it is becoming increasingly repulsiveto see unjust punishment acceded to with¬out murmur by the idea-creators of ourculture.So, although throughout most of the peri¬od since January 30 the vast part of thefaculty has slept with a few issuing bom¬basts against the sit-inners suffused withconspiracy theory and psychological re-ductionism, I hope a new frame of refer¬ence may be opening up in the wake of theUniversity’s cruel and unusual punishment.Now is the time, professors, to, like Socr¬ates, show your mettle and stand upagainst injustice and repression. You haveonly to ennoble yourselves.Jeremy R. KunzSuspended Graduate StudentDepartment of SociologyRationaleSince your editorial of April 4 complainsof “the absence of any rationale” for thealleged “attempt to put down student dis¬sent,” let me try again by resubmitting theletter I wrote you on February 28. Youdidn’t print it, but it is ju§t as relevanttoday. Here it is.So many people whose intelligence andintegrity I have respected have been re¬ferring to the disciplinary committee’s actsas “politically repressive” that I hopesomeone can explain to me the basis ofsuch a judgment. Even the careful andeloquent statement by the three resignedstudent observers seems to share it by im¬plication when it speaks of “emasculatingthe University community by eliminatingdifferent viewpoints.” I remain incred¬ulous.For example, suppose the Minute Menhad a student affiliate and that its mem¬bers, asserting that the New UniversityConference is but a faculty arm of SDS,demanded that all faculty members ofNUC be dismissed. And suppose they back¬ed their demand by sit-ins, by guerrilla fo¬rays against offices and classes, and bysimilar disruptions of the kind we havebeen experiencing. Does anyone think thatthe University’s response would have beendifferent? If not — and I can’t imaginethat it would have been different—what isthe connection between the disciplinary res¬ ponse and anybody’s political views? If thepolitics of the offenders can change fromone extreme to the other while everythingelse remains the same, clearly it can’t bepolitical doctrines that are the cause of thediscipline. The necessary connection isbetween disciplinary measures and thecoercive strategy resorted to by thosedisciplined.To be sure, one result of the recent un¬pleasantness may be the “elimination” ofa number of students with radical left-wingviews. But they will have been self-se¬lected for elimination: first, by disregard¬ing, and secondly by defying the dis¬ciplinary committees. Anyone else, of what¬ever political coloration, can eliminatehimself in the same way.If the distinction between the views oneholds and the sort of action one undertakesin promoting his opinions is not both realand important, would someone please ex¬plain why it is nt?Warner WickProfessor of PhilosophyWhat Aim?Mass action or mass support is a chi¬mera on the University of Chicago atpresent. The movement has tried for twomonths to generate a campus-wide basison the issues of Marlene Dixon, racism,amnesty, and political persecution. It hasfailed to arouse more than its original 484to active support. Perhaps it is time thatthe movement recognizes that a massmovement on this campus is impossiblegiven the nature of the typical student.What is the movement attempting to ac¬complish by militant methods? During thelast sit-in the main faculty response, thecouncil’s barometer, was one of repug¬nance at the action on the grounds thatforce is not required in an intellectualcommunity. The faculty ignored the de¬mands of the sit-inners in this reaction.New militant action by the movement willonly succeed in reinforcing the faculty intheir aforementioned belief with one pro¬viso, that force is met by force on theirpart.Ignoring the attitude of the faculty, isthe aim of forcing the council to institutechanges immediately at all possible? Thecouncil can only act in a negative mannerquickly; all positive actions are referred tofaculty committees or instituted graduallyby the administration. Since one of theforemost desires of the council is to main¬tain its forms of University governance asthey presently exist, is there any reason toexpect the council to act in a differentmanner to the demands of the movement?Can militant action force the council tosurrender? The faculty has stated repeat¬edly that they would sacrifice students forthe preservation of this University. Should the council at all differ from its con¬stituency? Obviously not. Its only responsecan be to strike out at the students.What can be done to institute change (atleast in the near future) since militant ac¬tion produces none of the desired results?Two courses are open to influence the fac¬ulty; they both will not provide an imme¬diate response. As at the end of the ranksit-in of 1967 each faculty member must becanvassed and convinced. Knowing the in¬transigence of the faculty, I do not believethat this is at all possible. The other al¬ternative is to strike at the University atits weakest point, finances. A publicitycampaign must be commenced to revealthe true nature of the University to all par¬ties who annually endow it with largesse.Some faculty have suggested that the Uni¬versity can survive without students — itcannot survive without endowments.Eugene Harris Goldberg, '70PhrasesI would like to ask Dean O’Connell pre¬cisely what he means by “intellectual pur¬pose” of which the University is supposedto constitute a “community.” Such phrasesusually conceal either a vacuity or elsepolicies whose antisocial content demandsconcealment. In the present instance, how¬ever, it is vitally important that a straight¬forward answer be given; for our societyfaces physical and biological problemswhich are so acute that it cannot last an¬other generation without radical change.This situation is characterized by asimple dominant fact: The US as six per¬cent of the world’s population consumes 85percent of its raw materials. This colossalimbalance is responsible not only for itsbellicose stance adopted all over the world,but also for ecological problems of increas¬ing insistence which show no sign of beingsolved.The powerlessness of the University inthe face of this challenge and its inabilityto supply any effective critique of politicalpower is due just to its not being “an en¬couraging environment for intellectualgrowth through free inquiry” that DeanO’Connell claims it is. Anyone must havenoticed that certain questions having to dowith the central myths of American societynever get answered and, if he insists thatthey do, he will be put down for, in theDean’s words, “coercing University deci¬sions.”The latter expression is certainly ironi¬cal, since in effect it means “accept whatwe offer or get out.”. Under these circum¬stances rational discourse, as understoodby all the great thinkers of the past, isimpossible.M. C. Goodall'Browbeating‘It is now more obvious than ever thatthe radicals don’t care about the rights orviews of anyone else; they’re bent on get¬ting what they want, and that’s wheretheir ideals, vision, and sophistry end.They reiterate that they do not use coer¬cion, but “coercion” is a mild term for anenforced strike. If they want to show theirconvictions by boycotting classes that’sfine, but when they threaten to forcefullyexclude me it’s quite a different matter.They certainly have a hell of a nerve tell¬ing anyone else about “political suppres¬sion,” but I suppose that hypocrisy of themost blatant kind lives happily in the ab¬sence of conscience.This attempt to intimidate the entire stu¬dent body (needless to say, not all studentssupport the cause of the protesters) shouldawaken more people to the true nature ofmilitant radicalism; if they know that theyhave the support of a minority of students(making an ordinary strike not very effec¬tive) can the radicals possibly imaginethat browbeating other students will helptheir cause.Edmund Meltzer, 72Continued on Page NineApril 11, 1969/The Chicago Maroon/7WHO CARES ABOUT STUDENT OPINION?BUSINESSMEN DO.Three chief executive officers—The GoodyearTire & Rubber Company's Chairman.

Arthur M. Klebanoff, a senior at Yale,who plans graduate studies and a career ingovernment, is exchanging views withMr. Galvin.In the course of the Dialogue Program, ArnoldShelby, a Latin American Studies major atTulane. also will explore issues with Mr.Galvin; as will David M. Butler, ElectricalEngineering, Michigan State, and Stan Chess. Journalism, Cornell, with Mr. Doan; similarly,Mark Bookspan, Pre-Med. Ohio State, andDavid G. Clark, Political Science MAcandidate at Stanford, with Mr. DeYoung.These Dialogues will appear in this publication,and other campus newspapers across thecountry, throughout this academic year.Campus comments are invited, and should beforwarded to Mr. DeYoung, Goodyear, Akron,Ohio; Mr. Doan, Dow Chemical, Midland.Michigan; or Mr. Galvin. Motorola, FranklinPark. Illinois, as appropriate.Dear Mr. Galvin:Student reaction to business is conditionedby what appears in newspapers andmagazines. And what appears concernsinvestigations more frequentlythan innovations.We read of industries withacross-the-board product unreliability,and watch the nation's largest corporationsattack Ralph Nader for defending thepublic against such frauds. Many of ushave had our own bad experiences withmis-filled orders or short-lived productsmore expensive to repair than to replace.We read of industries raping thecountryside in the Redwood forests ofCalifornia, the strip mines of Kentucky,and the oil fields of Oklahoma whilepreserving their malicious advantage witha peculiar and depressingly traditionalbrand of legislative log-rolling. We see theregulators co-opted by the regulated, andthe future of an industry sacrificed to theshort-run advantage of a single firm.And we read of concerts of industriesdefining their own public interest, andcalling it progress. Some of us havetrouble seeing progress in hundred footlong trailer trucks, brand-name drugs,and supersonic airplanes and thecongested airports from which theyare meant to fly.This is a college generation deeplyconcerned with personal honesty. Tomany college students business appearsunreliable and destructively self-interested. Only the most positive actionsby the business community can changethis reaction, and create any significantdegree of interest on the campus.My question Mr. Galvin is what willbusiness do to police itself?..Sincerely yours, *Arthur Klebanoff \VGovernment. Yale * Dear Mr. Klebanoff:A newspaper that ran stories such as“120 Million People Committed NoMurders Yesterday" . . . “Thousands ofOfficials Found Corruption-Free" . . ."Very Few Students Are Sex-CrazedDope Addicts," would lose readership.Newspapers must, by definition, reportthe "news"—including factual occurrences,but putting emphasis on extraordinaryevents. Crimes, wars, and corruption, areunusual happenings, and are thus reportedin our news media.A report that a "New Drivemobile Sedanis Found Unsafe" is of greater importanceto the motoring public than, say,"Fifty Makes of Autos Pass Safety Tests."Most newspaper reports of fraudulentpractices by business firms are accurate.However, newspapers are sometimesguilty of subjective interpreting andreports of entire industries with "across-the-board product unreliability" can onlybe described in those terms.A single corporation (much less an entireindustry) would not survive long byproducing inferior goods. Competition isself-regulating for one thing, and mostcorporations are bound to meet certainstandards specified by various tradeassociations and institutes. Governmentregulations, too, must be met, and,finally, the buying public has the last word.Business is policing itself, Mr. Klebanoff.Consider some of the positive aspects ofmodern, responsible corporations whileyou weigh the shortcomings andmalpractices. You have read of industries"raping the countryside," but apparentlyyou haven't read reports of businessesand industries involved in conservation —an involvement in which billions of dollarsare being expended, and will continue tocost many billions more.An important conservation activity byindustry is the building of huge lakes bythe nation's investor-owned electric powercompanies. Although these water massesare essential to the companies' operations,they create valuable and much-neededreservoirs of fresh water. Powercompanies usually open these lakes to thepublic for recreational purposes. Anexample of this is Commonwealth Edison'slatest watershed which provides thepublic with over 100-miles of newlyreclaimed shoreline. not stay in business if it did not operateon the principle of "sustained yield"—growing at least as many trees as it harvests.Boise-Cascade Lumber Company is oneof many that conducts multi-useforestry programs—the company's timberlands are open to the public forrecreational purposes such as camping,fishing, hunting, hiking. Logging roadsallow public access into these areas andare also invaluable in forest fire control.It is a fact that game increases in well-managed forests . . . this again is acontribution to conservation.The National Association of Manufacturersestimates that American corporations arecurrently spending in excess of $500million annually on air pollution controlresearch and methods. Many millions moreare being poured into water pollutioncontrol by business.Slum clearance and renovation currentlyclaim the energies and financial resourcesof a number of corporations; othersare working on improved sewage andgarbage disposal systems.Yes, there is some legislative "log¬rolling", lobbying, and other questionablepractices, just as there are someunscrupulous doctors, students who cheat,corrupt people in government, criminalsroaming our streets, traitors anddeserters in the Armed Forces. Like you,I believe that unethical practices inbusiness—as well as in other fields—areintolerable.Efforts by business to "clean house" areincreasing, just as business' involvementin society's problems is more evident.Hopefully, students will be more willingin the future to examine both sides of theledger before passing final judgments. Ifmore of the brighter, talented students,with the high ideals and personalintegrity that you mentioned would joinbusiness, the self-policing process thatyou and almost all business leaders seek,would advance more rapidly.Sincerely, // J..Robert W.

This was the request of our directorfrom the union’s district council, Mr TomBeagley. Mr Beagley requested that wepick out of the eleven the four most impor¬tant demands to negotiate at his time andthen later he said that we can negotiate onthe other seven. So you can see that is whywe ask for you to come to the workers andnot the administration, if you want thetruth.We the concerned workers of local 1657went on strike March 18, 1969, because ofour eleven demands and out of the elevenwe negotiated on the four most importantdemands. We felt that all eleven demandsare important and not just the four nego¬tiated on. The four demands that we nego¬tiated on were:• Poor wages• Longevity• Vacation• Shift premiumThere are over 800 union members in ourlocal and over 75 per cent were out onstrike. The workers that were affectedwere dietary, housekeeping, nurse’s aides,orderlies, animal caretakers, OPD Clinics,and the laundry. Because of the wildcatstrike we were able to get our contractreopened. Our bargaining committee nego¬tiated this proposal and our results are:• Wages — Effective April 14, 1969, a 30cent per hour across the board increase.(But we would have received 15-18 centsanyway, under the old contract, without astrike.)• Effective April -13, 1970 a 20 cent perhour across the board increase.• Longevity — A seventh step wasadded to the salary schedule for those em¬ployees who have 9 or more years of ser¬ vice. This increase amounts to 3-5 centsper hour for most workers. The Maroonsaid that the longevity clause enabledworkers to “aspire” to a higher job posi¬tion, but this is not true.• Vacation — 3 weeks after 1 year, 4weeks after 10 years, and 5 weeks after 25years.• Shift premium — Effective April 14,1969, premium was changed from 12 to 15cents per hour. Effective July 1, 1969, apremium was added, amounting to 15 centsfor Sunday day work and 30 cents for Sun¬day evening and night shift work.• The employees can receive their vaca¬tion pay checks before going on vacation.We the bargaining committee had to ex¬tend our contract from April 16, 1970 toApril 11, 1971. We feel that under the cir¬cumstances of this being a wildcat strikewe’re not satisfied but we have more workto do.The members voted to ratify this revi¬sion of the contract by a vote of 199-116.Most of the people that voted in favor ofthe contract, were the union members thatdidn’t strike, mainly the people in dietary.There is a no reprisal clause included inthe contract for the employees that partici¬pated in the strike.From the Concerned WorkersBlack StudiesBlack studies and Black Cultural Centers-Why?There are encouraging signs that empha¬sis on black studies and black culture willbreak the traditional social hostility, inwhite America, against black equality.The black student is moving in the direc¬tion which will be more useful to him, in asociety that exploits him and his kind. Be¬cause the emphasis is now on black stud¬ies, black cultural centers and return topride of African cultural roots; oppositionrears its ugly head. One might concludethat because the black student is so closeto realizing the great advantages of hisheritage; the opposition fights against him.It is evident that this same society ap¬proved segregated dorms, Newman Clubs,fraternities, Hillel Clubs etc., for the sakeof democracy; it can, in fact also “allow”the study of relevant black objectives ineducation.The black student has initiated the firstattempt to change the Afro-American’s state of mind in order that he might learnto dignify his own existence. He had daredfurther to reject the academic forms ofwhite history in order to establish newerforms and presentations eliminatingmyths, which have for so long shackled thespirits and minds of nearly all blackpeople here in America. Before this at¬tempt and even now the Afro-Americanwas given ideas and lessons that were em¬ployed to deprive him of real human exis¬tence, by imprisoning and confusing his at¬tempts to discover his own identity as aperson.In rejecting the white curriculum’s philo¬sophical and historical forms of value,while recording his black experiences, theblack student removed himself from thedouble standard, hypocritical frames ofreference. This allowed him to plan ahighly relevant example of how a curricu¬lum should be made appropriate to totalsocial needs. What the blacks have pro¬posed is to make Afro-American history,not a thing apart, but rather an integralportion of American history.John B MackLibrarian SG IronyWhile reading Jerry Lipsch’s gadfly con¬cerning the SG amendment — I wasarmed, I should add, with a pocket dic¬tionary and many grains of salt — I sud¬denly realized the irony of his position:to stagnate and render impotent our Stu¬dent Government arguing against a mea¬sure designed to get it moving again.Just examine the regime the present sys¬tem has produced. The present regime hasabandoned student services, subverted theSG Constitution, wasted whatever influenceSG might have by dealing with non¬campus issues, and, most important, hasbeen inactive in the present crisis.And yet, the party in power is the onlygroup capable of organizing candidates inthe graduate constituencies that controlSG. For the College to overcome this, aseparate house with representative lead¬ership is clearly necessary.Bill PhillipsIndependent SG Representative‘ Woodward CourtWitzU* Jlower SL“FLOWERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS’’1308 EAST 53rd STREET Koga Gift ShopDistinctive Gift Items FromThe Orientand Around The World1462 E. 53rd St.MU 4-6856AGITATING FORA BICYCLE?CONFRONT US!Cheapest prices for Carlton,Raleigh, Robin Hood, Falcon,Peugeot, Gitane, Vlercier,Radius and Daws.

Workers still get verylow wages, racism and political suppression are still partof hospital policy, and the critical shortages in healthcare facilities and health manpower continue. The strikeraised all of these issues; a broad critique of the strike’sorigins will enable comprehension of the problem andshed light on its solutions.In many respects the workers involved (house¬keepers, nursing aides, orderlies, dietary workers andanimal caretakers) are worse off with their new contractthan they were with the old one. The new contract pro¬vides five things:• A 30 cent per hour across-the-board wage increaseeffective April 14, 1969; a 20 cent increase, effectiveApril 13, 1970.• A three-cent increase in the shift premium (from12 to 15 cents) for both the second and third shifts. OnSundays, a premium is added amounting to 15 cents forSunday first shift and 30 cents for Sunday second andthird shifts.• Addition of a seventh step scheduled salary in¬creases, provided the worker has nine years of con-intuous service.• Vacation increases: from two to three weeks afterone year of service, from three to four weeks after tenyears, four to five weeks after 25 years.• Extension of the contract by one year to April 11,1971.This looks like an attractive contract. But a carefulanalysis reveals that figures can lie. First, the old con¬tract provided an across-the-board increase, effectiveApril 14, 1969, ranging from 15 to 18 cents, depending onjob category. Therefore, with a 30 cent across-the-boardincrease, the workers are getting only 12 to 15 centsmore than they would have without a strike. Second, theaddition of a seventh salary step is almost meaningless(contrary to reports in the Maroon). That increaseamounts to only three to five cents, for those with nineyears of service. There is now more than 50 percent one-year turnover.The only real gains made by the workers are the 12to 15 cent increase, the Sunday premiums and the in¬crease in vacation time for those with between one andfive years of service (those with five to 14 years alreadyget three weeks vacation under the old contract). Thisvacation provision, however, goes into effect on January1, 1970, a significant fact in view of the high turnover.The worst aspect of the contract is the extension to1971. The workers now are stuck with a bad contractwhich runs for two years, and the University can feelsecure for one more year than originally.There seem to be many reasons why the workersaccepted the new contract (by a vote of 199-116). Someworkers were anxious to return to work. They thoughtthat they had won as much as the University could give.They were not as well organized as they might havebeen.Certain of the circumstances were slightly more in¬sidious, however. At the ratification meeting, the region¬al director of their union, Thomas Beagley, distortedmany of the provisions to make them appear better thanthey were. For instance, he failed to mention the alreadyscheduled 15 to 18 cent wage increase, and admitted thisonly when challenged from the floor. He failed to men¬tion that the seventh step increase was only a three tofive cent increase for most of the workers. He waiteduntil right before the vote to say that the University hadjust announced that, effective June 1, 1969, it would pay$4 per month toward medical care for certain employeeswho already carry family health insurance. Woodlawn, the site of the University’s racist expansion for increased facilities.His timing of this announcement is questionable atbest, and may have swayed a few workers to vote forratification. The meeting was really two meetings, at 1and 4 pm, so that the strikers were not all together atthe same time. Beagley had the only microphone, so thatmany arguments from the floor could not be heard byeveryone.In addition, several departments were given time offand were specifically instructed to attend the ratificationmeeting, in contrast to earlier actions by the hospitalwhen workers were told that they would be fired if theyattended any of the pre-strike meetings. These workersgiven time off were known to be in favor of ratification,since they were working while others were still out.Most of the workers’ original eleven demands fell bythe wayside. The union officials were able to manipulatemost of the members of the negotiating team and per¬suaded them to drop most of the demands and just askfor four economic improvements — a 75 cent wage in¬crease, the shift premium increase, the seventh step andthe vacation increase. They received only partial con¬cessions on these demands. The hospital administrationgave the impression that it was unstable, as a non-profitinstitution, to grant very much. It concealed the fact thatthe hospital per se does make a profit but that the mon¬ey is plowed back into the University’s Division of Biolo¬gical Sciences, which is non-profit as a whole.On the remaining original demands absolutely noth¬ing has been resolved. These can be divided into in¬traunion issues and demands which concern better work¬ing conditions and demands about whether or not em¬ployees will have the right to make decisions which af¬fect their working lives. The neglect of these demandsmust make both the University and the union officersvery happy with the new contract.A major part of this struggle centers around theunion’s continued failure to support the workers. Theyare “represented” by Local 1657 of the American Feder¬ation of State, County and Municipal Employees. Thislocal has been in existence for 20 years. It was originallyformed in “cooperation” with the hospital adminis¬tration. Its history has been one of failing to reportgrievances, failing to demand in negotiations any moremoney than was in the hospital’s interests to give, andfailing to demand decent working conditions. It was andis a company union. Virtually every election has con¬sisted of unopposed slates of candidates handpicked ei¬ ther by the hospital or by incumbent union officers. Theunion representative is not even elected; the present rep¬resentative was chosen by the union president. The cur¬rent vice-president is the niece of the president. Thissituation was allowed to develop because the union mem¬bership has until recently been disorganized.At the union meeting the night before the strike, itbecame clear that the union officials would not supportthe workers. One after another, employees got up andtold personal stories concerning union officials’ neglectof their grievances. Finally, when one employee made aparticularly moving speech, almost all of the workersyelled “Strike” and left. Those remaining were mostlypeople who were against striking. It was at this pointthat the union officials, fearing loss of control, finallydecided to form a negotiating team. The union officialswere able to exert their influence on the remainingworkers and came up with a negotiating team which,while it included the leader of the strikers, also includedseveral workers who were not striking; a former unionrepresentative who was not even in the local; and arepresentative from the International. One negotiator, aunion official, was even absent from the negotiatingsessions for most of the time. Union officers convincedthe negotiating team that they should drop the trainingprogram, grievance board and job description demands.They convinced the strikers at the ratification meetingthat the contract was good. The fact that Beagley, fromthe District, and not one of the strike leaders, ran theratification meeting was in itself signifcant.At present some of the workers are investigating theunion dues (originally demand 9). Reportedly only $205 isin the treasury, with $45,000 siphoned off to the Inter¬national and “other places.” They are also looking intothe connections between the union officers and the hospi¬tal. A full slate of candidates has been nominated for theMay elections.Demand Five: End to political harassment of thoseemployees trying to organize the fight for these de¬mands. The workers have been intimidated ever since itbecame evident that they were no longer going to acceptoppression. That is, as soon as the hospital and theunion began to see the workers as a threat to their owninterests, they began to suppress them.Recent intimidation actually began before there wasContinued on Page FiveT SERGE BOURGUlbNON'SSUNDAYS(PLUS"FLATLAND") ANDCYBELE(IN CINEMASCOPE)SATURDAY, APRIL 12^ COBB HALL, 7&9:30, $1, CEF AT ALL!”"A ♦.«.«* f"minwhlch•II of lit* tMcomn < wttk•nd-* c»t»cly,mic,traffic j,m ^«lm mu*tb«w,nl0fiuPower, ambition, humor»nd uenes of realtyatfonithmg beaut, On,of the moat importantfilm* Godard has evermade.

Maybe it’s because themusic was so good. Plagued with technical difficulties,broken strings and a stage-struck manager, Buddy’sband still wailed with ease — these men are the finestblues professionals around. A C Reed (the sax player)sang beautiful versions of “Howling for My Darling” and“Black Nights”, and Buddy ripped through a B B King-styled “Sweet Sixteen” in fine style, as well as playingseveral of his standards, including “The Peeper” and asoulful “Mary Had A Little Lamb”. When Junior cameon, the band pulled together a fine set, including “Shipson the Ocean” and an assortment of James Brown tunes. -*vv’vv *• 4 4 4 *But what made the evening so hard for me to handlewas the audience. Everybody leaping on stage, dancingaround the rhythm guitarist (Phil Guy — Buddy’sbrother) and the rhythm section (Ernest Johnson onbass and Charles Hicks on drums), just like we did atParadise Now last quarter. Last quarter. Before I foundout that nobody really cares for other people in this Uni¬versity’s “community”Last quarter. When the Living Theater came to a dy¬ing University, in a dying city, in a last chance to placehuman relationships atop the pedestal of “the pursuit ofknowledge”, way up there in Levi’s fifth-floor Ad Build¬ing suite. Some of us who followed our human feelings —feelings of anger as well as love — found out just howmuch this University values human beings. If acting onyour beliefs was something new to you, you got whippedfor it. If you were in SDS, you got slaughtered.I saw all my friends dancing on the Mandel Hall stageto Chicago’s finest music, and I felt like crying. Whenwe danced with the Living Theater, we were growing,and I thought I knew those people on the stage with me,that deep down we believed in the same things—a lovethat the University’s “Mission” somehow ignored. A lovethat this Mission has now been redefined to crush. Thoseof us who had studied with Marlene loved her, and weacted on our love as well as our politics — OUR LOVEIS OUR POLITICS. But too few were listening; we hadto shout over and over to make anyone hear. Exhausted,our voices now grew hoarse and ugly, trying to ignore Junior Wells and Buddy Guy together on stage.those of our former friends who used our friendship tofinger us and summons us. We finally ended up scream¬ing, despairing, shoving and insulting Redfield the manbecause we were too weak to end the reign of the Red-fields as aristocrats, as politicians, as informers, as ad¬ministrators.My inside had burst. I’d been here for SO long, I’dhad to read Janowitz and J S Mill and SO MANY OldOligarchs, and god damn it if they were going to expellme they’d have to throw me out kicking and screaming.But now, weeks later, I still can’t stop screaming, aloneand late at night. I still can’t stop freaking out, becauseafter all this baloney something should have been ac¬complished. But nobody really cared, and we lost Mar¬lene. And so many people hate us that they not onlythrew us out. but won’t let us into other schools; theykeep hounding us, and O’Connell writes to colleges wetry to transfer to about how dangerous we are. O’Con¬ nell, my informer, prosecutor, judge, jury and execu¬tioner, has the nerve to tell me IN PERSON how sorryhe was I’d been expelled. How can you still let him sitthere, untouched? (O’Connell disclaimed authorship ofthe letter — Editors).Where are you, you 500 plus who were there with me,who did what I did? Did you go to class today? Withoutme? What happened to the 400 who went into the AdBuilding with me that first day? We’re the ones who tookthe beating; where are you now?Sure, some of us still get together in the C-shop andtry to joke about forming another committee — the 40plus. But our laughter is pretty bitter now. Lots of peoplecome up to me and tell me how sorry they are, but thatmeans nothing. Talk is real cheap at the University ofChicago. You don’t really care — not enough to riskanything, not enough to do anything. You don’t reallycare at all.Name Withheld Upon RequestThe Phoenix at Orchestra Hall Sprouts Its WingsWONDROUS ARE THE WAYS OF THE WORLD: birthand death and all that.

For the last three months, the denizens of Or¬chestra Hall have been all but cnrecognizable: at leasthalf of their concerts since January (Kubelik’s Ma Vlastand Mahler Ninth; the two Boulez programs; and Guil-ini’s Mozart) would have qualified as the season’s sum¬mit in any of the last five years. It was therefore appro¬priate — perhaps a little too appropriate — for it all tobe climaxed last week with Georg Solti’s smashing read¬ing of Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony.A lot of attention has focused around Solti’s visit, notbecause it was musically superior to those of Kubelikand Boulez, but because as new Music Director of theTHE GREY CITYJOURNALHere is no continuing city, here is no abiding stay.VI the wind, ill the time, uncertain the profit,certain the danger.Oh late late late, late is the time, late too late, androtten the year;Evil the wind, ana bitter the sea, and grey the sky,grey grey grey.

All interested personsshould contact the editor in the Maroon offices in Ida Noyes Hall. orchestra, his programs were considered a preview ofThings to Come. And while he might not be everyone’sfisrt choice in the best of all possible worlds, on the basisof all but one of his Orchestra Hall appearances (I un¬fortunately missed his Eroica), it would seem that theChicago Symphony is well on its way to fulfilling itspotential as the only American orchestra to rival theVienna Philharmonic.The main problems of Martinon’s reign' were a lack oftechnical discipline, a substitution of facile and brittlebrilliance for the orchestra’s once-legendary tonal solidi¬ty, and a flabbiness which turned all but the shortest andmost clearly structured works into an episodic puree,often pretty, seldom impelling. Solti seems just the manto reverse these tendencies .Certainly, the Mahler — which called up not only theentire orchestral roster, but which must also have re¬quired forgaes on the Salvation Army to fill out the brasscontingent — could hardly have been faulted for techni¬cal inaccuracies. Even the horns, traditionally remiss,were on impeccable behavior — they belted out theircalls with the kind of exuberance and confidence whichliterally sends shivers down (or is it up?) your spine. It’sthe kind of work, of course, where it is impossible tomake everything that is going on audible; but it wassurely as well-balanced sonically as any performanceyou’re likely to hear in a concert hall. Chorus, soloists,off-stage bands: everything (except for a completely in¬audible organ) clicked just right.Besides being a virtuoso spectacular, of course, theMahler Second tests a conductor’s ability to hold hugemusical structures together. Maintaining tension over aninety minute span, and keeping the sprawling finale insome kind of coherent over-all perspective, is an inter¬pretive challenge of the first order.Solti’s Bruckner Seventh three and a half years agofailed on precisely this count. In that performance, hewhammed every forte at full power, so that the work asa whole lost all sense of development, and hence allcumulative effect. The Mahler was more fortunate: therewas far more dynamic contrast, far more willingness tohold back just a trifle so that the final choral outburstcould really tower over everything that had preceded.And in the quiet sections there was always an under¬current of uneasiness to remind us that the near silencecould break into cataclysm at any moment. It was therare kind of performance you have to sweat out. There are, to be sure, some flaws in our new musicalTsar. First, he is a little too consistently serious: thesecond and third movements of the Mahler, for example,require a lot more tongue than Solti was willing to thrustinto his cheek. And his performance of Walton’s Partitatwo weeks ago was scarred by an earnestness best re¬served for Bruckner or Reger.The Walton suggested a further qualm for the habit¬ually nervous. Under Martinon, if nothing else, we had agood dose of contemporary music: not only Roussel andSchoenberg, but even Varese, Constant, Henze, Shapeyand Crumb occasionally wended their way onto subscrip¬tion programs. Walton, whose pot-boilers are such weaktea they don’t even get the pots clean, will hardly quenchanyone’s thirst for modern music. And since Solti is un¬likely to champion Penderecki or Boulez, we can expecta certain gap in the programming.The first of these problems would be more disturbing ifSolti were to turn the season into a one-man show: butwith Guilini as co-director in all but name, we can besure of enough contrast in approach to keep us fromgetting bored. The probable conservatism of the reper¬toire is far more serious, and will require careful selec¬tion of guest conductors if it is to be minimized. Solti hasalready stated an interest in special contemporary musicconcerts, and the announcement that Bruno Madernawill conduct two weeks next year is a sign that theproblem is at least recognized as such.Let’s not quibble, though. At the least, our associationwith Solti will result in an orchestra second to none inthe Bach to Bartok range: something any city could beproud of. After what we’ve been through, it would beungracious to complain.Peter RabinowitzContributeThe Grey City Journal, always on the lookout forculture, art, talent, truth, justice, and the American way,parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme; graciously invitesits readership (that means you) to submit any work ofshort fiction, poetry, art, plus of course any of the rest ofthe kind of inflamatory stuff you usually find here.

Finally in aswer to Dare’s “pas mal” Gegauff goes right ahead ancplays a series of incredibly wrong notes to prove that hod.IN 1960 JEAN TINGUELY BUILT, in a dome construct¬ed especially for the purpose by Buckmaster Fuller inthe garden of the Museum of Modern Art, a machinewhose sole purpose was to fulfill Marcel Duchamp’s ideaof “metallic suicide.” On March 17th, the day the con¬struction of the machine was completed, the power wasturned on and the machine fulfilled its function, pleasingsome spectators and puzzling at least as many more.Among the things which the machine did in its act ofdemise was to paint pictures by means of the in¬corporation of one of Tinguely’s earlier machines. Someof these remained among the ashes of the machine whileothers were burnt in the fire which the machine had setoff. .The idea of art destroying itself is far from a pleas¬ant one. For one thing we like to think of art as having asort of permanence, as something to be seen again by usand by others years and even ages later. (Even jazzpieces and theatre improvizations have shells which re¬main so that a version at least can be reperformed.)Furthermore, an artist who deliberately destroys his ownwork is committing a type of suicide. Unlike the famousPersian rugmakers who purposefully weave a mistakeinto their creations so that the cosmos will not be of¬fended, the artist who makes a self-destroying work isaligning himself with the cosmos against his owncreation.With Weekend Jean-Luc Godard may well havecreated the first semi-popular work of suicidal art. The3-Penny Cinema, where it is having its first Chicagoshowing, was jammed last Monday when I went to see it,an event not every frequent in this city even downtown.Unlike Michele Ray’s section of Far From Vietnamwhich quite accidentally destroyed itself (the camera be¬gan to eat film while Mile Ray was unaware of the fact)and produced moments of beauty where before there hadbeen only banality, or the Living Theatre’s Frankensteinwhere extreme sloppiness and repetitiveness made beau¬ty give way to banality, Weekend’s suicide is a highlypremeditated act, one that is in fact almost inevitablefrom the film’s beginning.Godard has had his moments of self-destruction be¬fore. In Made in USA his voice appears garbled andnearly-unintelligibly on a tape recording which supposed¬ly is guiding Anna Karina throughout her search. In Al-phaville, a somewhat less pessimistic film, he is the cabdriver whom Lemmy Caution shoots on his way to Pro¬fessor Von Braun. But Weekend is the first time in whichGodard at first systematically destroys everything whichhe has loved and finally goes right ahead and kills thepicture in which this destruction is taking place.WHAT CHICAGORADIO STATIONHAS AN HOUROF DRAMAEVERY SUNDAY EVENINGAT EIGHT-THIRTY?•whpk fin 88.3......

We see two cars have a colli¬sion and two men jump out and begin to fight. One ofthem knocks the other down in an overhead shot which isextremely bright, followed by a dark composition whereJean Yanne (Roland, the “lead” of the picture) whispersmysteriously to his mistress not to call him here, a manwas nearly killed outside. But this is almost immediatelydestroyed as he and his wife (Marielle Dare) go outsidenot much later into their own car and have a fight withsome neighbors over an accident of their own. Safety isone thing not very apparent in Weekend. It goes on thisway; Brigitte Bardot’s “erotic auto wreck” becomes ajoke in the class war; Marielle Dare who is famous inFrance as a sex film figure becomes sexless and an anti¬erotic force. Jean Pierre Leaud and Anne Wiazemskyare shown always in long-shot, emotional identificationbecomes impossible. Most important, Godard system¬atically destroys everything which is beautiful in thefilm. A stunning close-up of Blandine Jeanson, playing apoet-philosopher named Emily Bronte, is interrupted byYanne’s setting Jeanson on fire. Godard’s wrong notes come two sequences laterwhen an African and an Arab who are part of a garabgetruck agree to give Dare and Yanne a ride to OinsvilleThey stop the truck and we are delivered (off-screen) oithree political speeches. These are intercut with sceneswhich we have seen earlier in the film. Although thespeeches which are being delivered off-screen are notnecessarily simplistic, the context in which Godard putsthem in makes them appear so. The entire sequence is aghastly one, for we know (almost as much from this filmas from Godard’s ether works) that Godard’s feelingsabout politics are ambivalent at best and that this ridi¬culous political explanation of what we have seen on thescreen is not only stupid but manifestly dishonest.At this point the tenor of the film changes. The mo¬ment of suicide past, the film goes from a cry of anguishinto a frontal assault on the audience. Like the dead menin Robert Mulligan’s The Stalking Moon, the peoplefound dead in the auto-wrecks of Weekend have beenritualistically smeared with something which is far toored to actually be blood (but which is close enough tomake the meaning clear). Now Godard begins to actual¬ly skin rabbits and kill pigs, making us observe the actand the purple blood. Any view of hope or emotions isdestroyed and we are finally led into what is as close tothe jungle as anything in twentieth century Europe: awoods inhabited by cannibalistic hippies who for noapparent reason convert Dare. In the last moment of thefilm she nonchalantly eats her husband.The suicide has “worked.” The picture has been destroyed as have the people. But an act of suicide is onewhich, to say the least, augurs ill. The most recent issueof Movie (No. 16) reports that One Plus One is a completely incoherent mess and I would not be surprised ilthey were right. Godard has in Weekend destroyed hi<Perhaps most explicit, however, is the one lyric inthe picture,, a sequence in which Paul Gegauff playsMozart’s Sonata K.576 in a farmyard.

Several months before the strikesome of the women employees, in cooperation with somestudents from the Women’s Radical Action Project, be¬gan to have meetings concerning a day care center,which is desired and sorely needed by most of the wom¬en UC employees, both in and out of the hospital. Theywere (and are) thinking in terms of a client-controlled,university-financed center. Leaflets advertising meetingsto discuss the center, posted on legal bulletin boards,have been continually and systematically taken down. Inone instance four leaflets were removed from one bulle¬tin board within six hours.Shortly before the strike, when it became clear thatClarence Nelson was the leader of the workers, the em¬ployees in several departments were told not to speak tohim, eat with him, or be seen at his meetings under anycircumstances, under threat of firing. The day after hespoke at a campus colloquium on racism he was sent byhis supervisor to the bookstore on an errand. His super¬visor then had several administrators page him. Thiswas a setup to show that he was “goofing off.” He wasthen summoned before the top hospital administratorswho tried unsuccessfully to force him to retract thestatements he had made the night before, in which heindicted the hospital and the university for institutionalracism.The strike support petition, signed by 67 (more than20 percent) UC medical students, was also taken downseveral times after being posted on the same bulletinboard from that which the day care center leaflets wereremoved. A hospital extension was listed at the bottomof the support petition at which further information couldbe obtained. An hour after the petition was first posted,the division of biological sciences business administratorcalled that number and told the professor in charge thatthat phone was not to be used under any circumstancesfor “such activity”.Political suppression has not been confined to thisstruggle. The registered nurses, in their struggle (nowsuccessful) for recognition of the Illinois Nurses Associ¬ation (INA) as their bargaining agent, were intimidatedalso. They were told that they could not wear their INAbuttons in public. They were threatened with disciplinaryaction if they attended meetings. At least one of the mostactive nurses was threatened with firing if he continuedto organize the nurses. One nurse with a high adminis¬trative post was pressured (without success) to withdrawher support for the nurses.This pattern can be expected to continue wheneverany group of workers in the hospital threaten the inter¬ests of the hospital and the university. These institutionssay they are in favor of everyone’s interest, not justtheir own, but this is consistently exposed as a lie when¬ever workers get together to work toward obtaining whatis rightfully theirs, if that goal is in conflict with theestablished priorities of the institutions.The remaining demands strike at the root of thepresent health care crisis in America. High-quality, com¬prehensive care cannot be provided by Billings or anyother hospital unless the issues raised by these demandsare approached in a substantial way, rather than merelygranting them lip service.Demand Two: A training program with guaranteedpromotion upon passing the course. Such a programshould enable janitors and aides to progress all the wayto MD, via a series of on-the-job courses in which theywould advance stepwise through all the “subprofession¬al” and “paraprofessional” categories. These programscannot be more of the tokenism which now exists in UCtraining programs. They must enable every worker toadvance as far as possible, limited only by his ability toget through each phase of training. Thus, a nurse’s aidmight become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in amatter of a year, whereas it might take many years tobecome a physician. But the employees would know thatwhen he (she) hired on, his chances for advancementwould be determined not by the rigidities of the in¬stitution, but only by his own limitations.An underlying principle in a successful training pro¬gram is that the physician is not the only person whotakes care of the patient. No one will deny that thedoctor makes the diagnostic and therapeutic decisionswhich ultimately are decisive for the patient’s cure andsubsequent well-being, and that he is an essential part ofthe heal “team.” But who else is on this team? Whotakes care of the patient on a day-to-day, minute-to-min-ute basis? A close look reveals that the more one moves towardthe “subprofessional” end of the ladder, the more thepatient is cared for by that employee. For instance, thephysician may see the patient only a few minutes perday, while the nurse sees him and cares for him moreand the aides and the orderlies see him even more. It isthey who must wash the patient, bring him food, takehim to X-ray, hand his bedpans, clean up his vomit andperform a host of other jobs. Many patients and “subpro¬fessionals” express the feeling that their personal rela¬tionship engendered by this aspect of patient care is oneof the most important of hospital services.A comprehensive program for training health work¬ers has already been formulated by Dr Tom Levin ofAlbert Einstein College of Medicine-Lincoln Hospital, inNew York. This program consists of three sequences ofapplied education:• A qne-year education and orientation programwith two of every three weeks spent as a health worker.• One year spent working and studying in a “spe¬cialty field” — e.g. nursing skills, community services,X-ray technology, etc.• Subsequent years spent a) working in the “spe¬cialty” learned in the second year, and b) studying forfurther specialization, including eventual MD or PhDstatus, if desired.This entire program essentially involves the estab¬lishment of a “health careers university” to replacepresently guild-oriented medical and nursing schools.What would be the advantages of these programs?• Workers should no longer be stuck in miserable,low-paying dead-end (and therefore high turnover) jobsin which they get no recognition and little respect.• Employees would be motivated to do the best jobpossible, knowing that they had a chance for advance¬ment, and that they would advance more quickly if theyworked and studied harder.• Resentment by “subprofessionals” toward “para-professionals” would end. Those who know most about agiven job, i.e., those in the job just below it, and intraining for it, would be the first to get it. At the ratifica¬tion meeting one nurse’s aid of ten years service told astory of how' She was told by her supervisor to show theropes to a new RN. A week later the aide told the RNthat she was doing something wrong, whereupon the RNreported the aide to the supervisor for insubordination.This is no isolated incident.• The fantastic shortage of black doctors in thiscountry would begin to be alleviated. UC Medical Schoolnow has one American-born black student out of 310,while Kenwood-Oakland has only three physicians for 45,-000 people, which is about one-twentieth the national av¬erage.• The dire manpower shortages which exist and are million unfilled jobs in the nation by 1975) would bealleviated. The present situation allows welfare agenciesto legally force women off welfare into hospital jobs,often at less money than they received on welfare.• The employees would come from the surroundingcommunities. This would make the health institution re¬sponsive to community health needs, since those attain¬ing influential positions would have roots in the commu¬nity. This would also end the “creaming” of talentedghetto residents who think (rightfully) that the only way“up” is “out,” and rarely return to serve their commu¬nity under the present system.Demand Three: A grievance board made up of elect¬ed employees, with the power to fire those against whomcomplaints are made. The original intent of this demandwas that a grievance board is necessary to combat theautocratic power of supervisors and higher adminis¬trators. This board would hear cases, and then decidewhether the defendant should be fired, reprimanded oracquitted.The workers have realized, however, that the hospi¬tal administrators would never accede to such a demandbecause a board with firing power would underminetheir control of policy. Therefore, the workers now envi¬sion an advisory board which would expose the true na¬ture of all employees’ grievances and could operate as alever by which the workers could pressure the hospitalmanagement to redress grievances which if not thenproperly taken care of might cause the employees tostrike.Many of the employees feel that such a board isnecessary for two major reasons. First, there are nowmany grievances, most centering around race issues.Some examples: The head of the transportation depart¬ment, a white, consitently calls his black workers “boy.”He often forces them to do work which is not in theircategory. About a month ago a white parking lot guardmade racist remarks to and subsequently attacked witha crowbar a black nurse during a dispute over whetheror not she had paid her 60 cent parking fee. The nurseand others demanded that he be fired, were assured thathe would be, and later saw him working as usual. Anoth¬er example is that all seven steps of the salary schedulesare conditional upon approval of the employee’s imme¬diate supervisor. This “merit increase” system, accord¬ing to the contract, is mandatory unless the supervisorcan show cause in writing why the increase should notbe granted. There are several examples wherein employ¬ees with years of service are still at step one of theirschedules because their supervisors saw fit to keep themthere.Still another example is that the workers in house¬keeping, the most abusive and demeaning department,have been pushed around by their supervisors for years.Recently an employee in housekeeping was fired on thespot at 2 am, escorted out of the hospital against her willby a policeman, and told to go home, despite almost non-existant transportation at that hour.These and many other incidents (and this is the sec¬ond major reason for an elected board) have continuallybeen reported to the supervisors, union officers, etc.,who have responded with equally continual promises totake care of them. Presently, article IX of the contractprovides an elaborate procedure for redressing grei-vances, but in fact greivances usually go nowhere.Demand Four: Written job descriptions to preventoverloading of employees, to be written by representa¬tive employees. Many workers feel that this is necessarybecause they are often forced to do work for which theydid not hire on (see the above reference to the trans¬portation department). In several instances, this workhas been in categories which pay higher wages, yet theyreceived no extra pay.It is evident that the workers were sold out on mostof their demands. But the strike was by no means afailure. That 116 voted not to accept the new contractdemonstrates that many workers are dissatisfied and areaware of the devious methods of the University and theunion officials.They have realized the need for new organizationand militant collective action to ree themselves of theiroppression and get good wages, decent working condi¬tions, a representative union and the ability to controltheir working environment. Workers see also that thehospital is not responsive to the real needs of people butinstead bases its policy on the priorities established bycorporations, the University, the medical school, and re¬search institutes.. Those policies are reflected in the“Mission of the University,” in the lack of communityGUERRILLASGuerrillas (Theatrical)! N.U.C needs you forweek of protests April 21-25.

Audience-oriented,it very happily doesn’t leave the realm of theater, asother similar productions we've seen recently.The patrons of Camille experience a barrage of hersense pleasures. Her mood is created by the hanging ofcloths, felts, and flags up and down the aisles. A greatorange and white parachute pulls the audience togetherpassing over everyone’s heads, front to back. The moodis one of laughter and wondering and it is successfullysustained throughout the production. In fact, laughterseems a trademark of the Unity. They obviously enjoywhat they are doing and communicate that enjoyment.The Whore Camille is based on Dumas’ fils La Dameaux Camelias, but it seems that very little has been usedexcept names and a wispy plot, the show being impro¬vised nightly by the company. In this improvisation, alarge number of devices have been used with varyingdegrees of success. The film that begins the show mixesshots of Camille languidly undressing with Revlon com¬mercials and cigarette ads. An original guitar pieceforms a background to the flic and punctuates the per¬formance with reasonable effectiveness. These, with cer¬tain audience-directed involvement techniques used bythe actors themselves, are at times distracting, but gen¬erally give the performance a texture that the insipidplot could never have achieved.Basically the plot is that Camille, a French whore ofthe last century, falls in love with one of her customers,a young nobleman who bears an uncanny resemblance toour very own local greasers both in appearance and act¬ing ability. The nobleman’s father puts on the pressure(monetary) to force her to give him up and she is finallyforced to accede amid a great volume of tears. Thenobleman runs off somewhere in his sorrow and she be¬comes sickly in hers. As she nears death, he miraculous¬ly returns to make her final moments happy ones. Thefirst act is impressionistic and unpredictable, while thesecond act becomes very melodramatic. Because of suchFilmContinued from Page Fourworld and refused to get close to any of his characters.What is worse, he has created a world as decayed asthat of Seven Women and removed from it the possibilityof a moral action. Without life, love, or morality there isreally nothing left. The last credit on the film proclaims“Fin du Cinema” and one fears that, barring a cataclys¬mic change (which thankfully for Godard is not thatmuch of an improbability) Weekend may very well bethe end of Godard’s cinema, of his actions. I would hateto think of being only able to receive now little frag¬ments left after the destruction of Godard’s machine, butthat is exactly what Weekend implies. In fact it is whatWeekend is.T. C.

Among other peopleWilson publishes the work of Rick Thompson, formerDoc Films chairman, who may very well have donemore for movies on this campus than anyone else.“We’re loosing money,” he writes, “we might as welllose it in the name of advertising” thus offering thepublication for half-price.

Subscriptions are $6 for four issuesand single copies are usually on sale in the Bookstore.A nnual Screwballan improbable combination, it’s not likely that the con¬tent of this play is the reason it is being done.The show must then be made by what the actors areable to do to the audience. To begin with, they have anamazing ability to fuse their offstage actions with thoseonstage. Between ti e two acts, as we sat drinking coffeeand smiling about the first half, Camille and her lover,talking to someone they knew nearby, began discussinghow they might have done some scene or other moreeffectively. He then started being more physical with herthan she might have wished, then slapping, then pushing,and it was broken up. I’m still not sure whether it wasfor real. If it wasn’t, it was certainly a nice piece ofacting, and many times more effective than we saw Liv¬ing Theater accomplish.Many of Living Theater’s techniques have, in fact,been borrowed (or independently conceived; far be thisreview from an accusation of plagiarism.) The groupwill, at times, gather in a circle and hum, or scream atthe audience a few feet away. Perhaps mid-way throughthe first act, everything suddenly stopped and the actorsannounced that it was now time to ask for donations.They moved through the audience begging, cajoling, anddemanding funds so that “experimental theater in Chi¬cago might not die.” Some of us took it in great fun, buta gentleman behind me complained, “I paid two dollarsto get in here, for Christ’s sake!” This was one of themost effective bits in the show as far as audience in¬volvement is concerned.Here arises also the problem with improvisation andmixed-media. They must contribute to the objective ofmounting the production in the first place. They must becoherent and work with one another. The more media,the more ambitious and technical the play becomes. Inthis area the Whore Camille perhaps has its greatestfailing.“Tough-minded, just,independent, and basedon long and pricelessexperience.” —Leo Rosten“Schwab honestly attemptsto find in student protestunderstandable failingswhich seem to result fromweaknesses in education.”-Michigan Daily"A professor who likes toteach . . .

(Try to fit that last one into a nine¬teenth-century play!) Camille is left holding that significant bag of sterile gold.Much of the on-stage business does not contributetoward a satirical objective, and there is generally alack of consistency in the relations of parts of the playSaving grace is entertainment, and the Whore Camilleis an extraordinarily entertaining play. The enthusiasm,the love that seeped from the Unity into all of us resolveany criticism to giggling. The whole play, in fact, exhib-its a sort of progressive degeneration of the plot, theactors, and the audience from smiling to compulsivelaughter.

Just to set the record straight, the birdwould like to go on record as opposing all manifestationsof the Western cultural phenomenon, whatever that is.This is simply to say that all the people we know seemto disavow the Red Guards and every single one of themis a crass bore. But I have been perched on RockefellerTower all morning and have not seen a single RedGuard. The appropriate conclusion to be drawn from thislittle exercise, as you may have guessed, is that there isnothing of interest to do in terms of true and gratifyingculture. Well, so there isn’t. Save, of course, the strikewhich unfortunately seems to have its basis in principleand is therefore culturally irrelevant. We also happen tohave on hand a further list of cultural irrelevencieswhich can be indulged in for the exchange of sums ofmoney (expense is our “selection” as we say aroundhere).THE MOVIES:The supreme irrelevency. If people had any sense theywould stop going to the movies and neck someplace more comfortable. But here’s the list for dorm dwellers.Doc Films, chief purveyors of this celluloid deception,are showing Blow Up today at 5:30, 7:45, and 10. Andnext week are insulting us with no less than four of thesetwo-dimensional provocations, Picnic on the Grass by Re-nior on Tuesday, **** by Andy Braniff Warhol onWednesday and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? onThursday.

Also, Weekend is at theThree Penny and Warrendale (about little Canadian lu¬natics) is at AArdvark.THE THEATER:Nobody goes to the bourgeois theater anymore. Unfortu¬nately some of our friends are still laboring under theimpression that this stilted decadent form of presentationis entertaining. Liliom, a play by gypsy Hungarian Fe¬renc Molnar is to be presented by University Theater onthe weekend of the 18th. It will feature U of C superstarsJoan Mankin and Roger Dodds in roles made famous byJoseph Schildkraut and Eva LaGallienne in 1921. Di¬rected by Annette Fern, there is a distinct possibilitythat it will be almost as successful and amusing (sudden shift in point of view) as the colossal production of theShoemaker’s Holiday to be staged the next week.MUSIC:Queers have ears.

KIDDIES.Hospital StrikeContinued From Page Fivecontrol over health care, in the nature of medical educa¬tion. and in the perpretration of racism.The University of Chicago, one of the nation’s fore¬most research institutions, places priority on the educa¬tion of future physicians and researchers, corporate prof¬its and expansion of facilities. But it neglects the lives ofthe thousands of poor working people who enable it toattain these goals.Research and the teaching of medical students aregiven priority over patient care. Almost all the physi¬cians turned out are white; they will practice in whitecommunities, many of which already have adequatenumbers of physicians. Many graduates become full-timeresearchers in similar institutions. The hospital and me¬dical school emphasize research on rare disease prob¬lems while curable diseases which plague the poor goessentially untouched.The University expands into Woodlawn because itneeds more room to build research institutes, lawschools, centers for continuing education, etc. Yet it hasfailed, over a 15 year period, to provide adequate re¬placement housing for those people it has displaced, andshowed no concern for renovating Hyde Park HighSchool until it decided recently to expand 67th Street.Good housing and schooling are important to the Univer¬sity only when they involved the present of future “Uni¬versity Community.”Thus, the Mission of the University, is not to servethe needs of the majority of the people, but to maintainand enlarge the wealth, prestige and power of the privi¬leged people in society. The University cannot view itselfas a cloistered center of learning and research. It must,as an institution with tremendous resources, view itsmission as that of using these resources to serve all ofthe people, and not just a minority.The recent affiliation between the University and Mi¬chael Reese Hospital led to the formation of the Mid-South Helath Planning Organization. This group now hasthe “responsibility” for planning health care for the en¬tire South Side: from Roosevelt Rd. to 67th St. and fromCottage Grove to the lake. It has set up a Board ofDirectors with a majority of community people, givingthe Organization an appearance of community control.However, many of the community representatives areconservative homeowners and businessmen. Representa¬tives of militant community and youth groups were ex¬cluded from the initial stages of development of the Or¬ganization.The grave danger inherent in this arrangement isthat the facade of community control will be established,but with the way the Organization is presently con¬stituted, real health problems very likely will not beattacked and the two hospitals will retain overall controland jam more power over the powerless. It appears thatfalse hopes are again being raised with little chance offulfillment.We have seen that many factors contributed to theevents surrounding the strike in Billings. Racism, how¬ever, is the central issue, its origins and its role as a keyoppressive force must be understood in order to assessaccurately the current situation.The hospital and the University, as corporate in¬stitutions, find it in their interests to keep black people ina colonized state, providing the institutions with a cap¬tive labor force which can be exploited by paying blackslow wages while maximizing profits. Moreover, theideology of white supremacy not only serves as a justifi¬cation for racism hut enables the institutions to dividewhite workers from black workers. Against the class interests of white worker, this in¬stitutional racism enables big business to:• Enlist support of white workers and labor unionsin keeping blacks in the lowest paying jobs, living underghetto conditions, etc.• Focus the many grievances of white workers ontoblacks, thus obscuring the fact that employers exploitwhite workers also, and preventing white and blackworkers from allying in a common struggle against thecorporate-capitalist system which oppresses them all.White supremacy is evident in the hospual in thatblacks are hired for the worst jobs, have little chance foradvancement, are subjected to racist abuse by whites,and live in ghetto communities whose major health prob¬lems are not substantially attacked.Almost all the workers involved in the Billings strikewere black. The top of the professional scale in Americais almost completely white. As one moves down the jobsare occupied by more and more blacks (registered nurs¬es and licensed practical nurses), until one gets to thejanitors, aides, orderlies, etc., almost all of whom areblack. >Only three percent of all medical students are black.Excluding Howard and Meharry, which are all black,only one percent are black. The University of Chicagohas only one American-born black student out of 310.Some medical schools have no black students. Onlyrecently, under pressure from students and the commu¬nity, have they begun making recruiting efforts amongblack college students. Reportedly there will be fiveblack students in next year’s entering class at UC. Thisis still a pitifully low figure in view of the national short¬age of black physicians.The high cost of medical education ($4,000 per year)is the largest barrier for most black people. This is per¬petuated by the opposition of the American Medical As¬sociation to federal support for medical students.Most blacks have to go to very poor ghetto schoolswhich cannot prepare them adequately for higher educa¬tion. Therefore fewer blacks make it to college, and of¬ten they attend colleges which do not prepare them forfurther education. But admissions committees see noneed to develop special programs for these students.Added to these conditions are the biased admissionspolicies of medical schools. Undue emphasis is placed onthe admission tests, on which those with poorer pre-me¬dical education do not excel. Moreover, these admissionstests do not judge the student’s potential as a physician,but only the facts he can recall.Thus black students find that as far as medicalschool goes, the cards are stakced against them from thetime they enter first grade — poor schools, lack of mon¬ey and biased admissions standards.On the other hand, “subprofessional” workers at Bil¬lings are drawn from the poor of Woodlawn and otherblack communities. With terribly low pay (take home of¬ten less than $3,000 per year), little chance for advance¬ment and inhuman working conditions, there is naturallya high one year turnover, which perpetuates the typicaldead-end pattern encountered by blacks in all large in¬stitutions. This captive labor force is increased by thewelfare agencies, which force women to take hospitaljobs, with the threat of being removed from welfare ifthey do not. Within the hospital, blacks run into racistsupervisors, separate dining rooms for doctors and “oth¬ers”, and lack of respect from white employees, medicalstudents and patients.Billings charges a large initial clinic fee, beyond thereach of most Woodlawn residents ($35-$50). Con¬sequently, patients have to bypass Billings (and manyother similar Chicago hospitals) to travel to Cook CountyHospital, which gives poor care. At County, patients must wait six to twelve hours and there is virtually nofollowup care. It is many miles away and often necessi¬tates leaving the family alone. People often do not seekcare, therefore, except when it is absolutely necessary,which often results in needless deaths.The Child Health and Mental Health Centers inWoodlawn are merely token programs which do little tochange the total health picture in the area. They reach asmall number of people. They create the illusion that thehospital and the University are really concerned. Yet theWoodlawn Mental Health Center, found, in an article inMedicine on the Midway, a University publication, that,“Nutrition correlated with the child’s adaptation toschool. Children who had no breakfast before coming toschool were found to be more shy and underachievingthan children who had some breakfast . . .” Surely theUniversity cannot expect that the Mental Health centercould be of any real consequence when it treats thesymptom (maladjustment) while ignoring the disease(hunger).Lying-In Hospital (the Obstetrics-Gynecology wing ofBillings) is divided into East and West Offices. Welfarepatients, mostly black, are required by the welfare lawsto go to the less expensive West Office where they aretreated (and practiced on) by residents and students.Wealthier patients go to the East Office where they aretreated as private patients by more competent facultyphysicians.In addition to the University’s racism, oppressionagainst women is very evident in its policies. Most of the“subprofessional” employees in Billings are women. Of¬ten they receive ten to 20 cents per hour less than mendoing the same hospital jobs. Welfare agency coercion,political suppression of the nurses’ unionization efforts,and the lack of a day care center are other examples.Women employees at all levels are denied promotionbecause they are considered job risks: women get mar¬ried and have children. Thus they often must prove thattheir qualifications are better than those of men in orderto be promoted, or even to be hired. On the wholewomen going into “medicine” become nurses while menconsistently become doctors.Institutional racism is in the interests only of theprivileged classes, who maintain their wealth, power andprestige via the exploitation of all workers. This minor¬ity, which has control over all institutions will fight topreserve its power by any means necessary. Blackpeople are oppressed as a colony and the universitys’racism permeates all its policies from its Woodlawn Ur¬ban renewal, its admissions policies, and its curriculumto its employment practices and health care.We must build opposition to racism and exploitationin Billings. Those students who supported the strike bywalking the picketlines, signing support petitions andgiving money for the strike fund were identifying withthe workers’ struggle against the racism of the hospital- and the University.For medical student, the idea of a comprehensivetraining program is particularly pertinent. The con¬tention that “subprofessionals” are not capable of be¬coming physicians is a racist argument, and is designedto preserve the myth of professionalism. The training ofthousands of workers as physicians is seen as a directthreat to the medical students’ future wealth and status.Medical students must take sides into making need basicchanges.They and all students must give up their profes¬sionalism, their “white skin” privilege, in order to allywith black workers in the struggle for high quality healthcare and social justice.John Vogel is a second-year medical student and amember of the student health organization.April 11, 1%9/Grey City Journal/75.

(Itwouldn't have been out of the car, but 2 or 3people would have been.)Or we could have made room for the top bymaking the bug a little longer. (But it would nolonger have been the little bug.)The way it worked out, our Convertible has allthe practical benefits of our Sedan.Seating for 4 adults, parking ease, and econ¬omy (up to 27 mpg).But many people don't need practical benef ts.They simply like our top.They like it because it has a real glass windowin back. And because it's padded, and fitted byhand, so it's weatherproof and it actually cushionssound.They like our top when it’s up for its smoothcustom-made look.
