BernsteinWhen most students hear of a communethey shrug off the idea by saying, “Oh, I’dlike to live in one, sometime.” Here inHyde Park, four students have created anexperiment in living by establishing aunique student Zionist commune.Referred to as the “Bayit” (Hebrew for‘house’) by its four members, the communedirects its attention to a number of goals.Reena, one of three girls summarized thesegoals: “To undertake an experiment in so¬cialist living based on the ideal of the kib¬butz and to serve as a center for socialistZionist activities.”The Bayit is, in a sense, a communityinstitution. It serves as a gathering placefor student Zionists and socialists in aunique fashion. Many students in HydePark look upon it as another home. It is thekind of place where you can go for a meal,to spend the night, take advantage of theshower, or just get away from where youwere, and nobody gives you any strangelooks. It is the sort of place where Chassid-ic Cantor Shlomo Karlbach came to meetHyde Park students, the sort of placewhere people would feel comfortable sing¬ing, telling stories and getting to know thisunique type of man.In accordance with kibbutz and socialistideology, all possessions and economic re¬sources are pooled together. Money for allexpenses, no matter how individual, is allo¬cated to members in proportion to theirneeds. Decisions as to how money must bespent, responsibilities taken and commonpossessions shared are made on one levelthrough general discussion, on another lev¬el by committees of one or two, and yet onone last, most important level. This lastlevel involves the day by day though stillcritical decisions that members makebased on their sensitivity to each other. Ina sense the economic and material social¬ ism is devised to aid in this last — thedevelopment of sensitivity between people.Jerry summarized this idea: “It is ourhope that heightened sensitivity will resultfrom the sharing of economic resourcesand the collective approach to the com¬pletion of responsibilities in the Bayit andin our student Zionist work.”The “money drawer” is perhaps most il¬lustrative of the style of living. When amember needs money he goes to the placein which petty cash is kept and takes stockof the situation. If his expense is large hemay decide to discuss it with other mem¬bers, or ask the “Gizbar” (treasurer). If itis small he makes the decision himself.A work sign-up sheet decorates the hall,calling out to passing members to payheed. Little signs around the Bayit serve asreminders to keep the place clean. Onestatement posted on a lamp, decorated witha picture of a smiling girl, reads, “I knowyou can turn me on — but can you turn meoff?”The physical appearance of the Bayit is aproject that all share in, whether it iscreating a fantastically artistic mess orjust cleaning it up. Upon moving into theapartment, a tremendous amount of workwas done. Twenty-two cans of paint nowcover every wall and ceiling, two wallswere erected, to increase living space andfurniture was brought from all over thecity in U-hauls, paper bags, and wheel-barrels Finally, to add one last touch,two kittens were given a new home in theBayit living room, and whatever otherroom or garbage bay they can get into.Looking around the living room and justfeeling the atmosphere that has beencreated, Fran commented that in many in¬stances the Bayit “offered opportunity forcreative expression.” Whether it be decora¬ting the walls or singing at the shabat (sab¬bath) meal, ordinary living situations de¬Steve AokiAT DINNER: Zionist students wait for the food in commune kitchen. mand and usually get special attention.The commune members hope that appli¬cation and practice of their ideology alsowill lead to one other development: in¬creased non-verbal communication. As theparticipants become more accustomed toasking themselves repeatedly questions like“Does he need the car or can I use it” theywill begin to notice more about the needs ofthe other members — personal needs thatare significantly more important than ma¬terial needs. Once again, it is the personalcommunication and sensitivity that is em¬phasized rather than the economic systemthat helps to bring it about. If the economicsystem is talked about more, it is only be¬cause it is more tangible and easier to talkabout.Male and female are living together, un¬der the same roof, without experiencingsexual relations of any kind. Harriet ex¬pressed some thoughts about this situation.“Often sexual mates overlook problems intheir relationship which can be com¬pensated for sexually. In our situation, boyand girl must co-exist on a level based onfriendship alone, without sexual rewards.In other words, boy and girl are more like¬ly to confront each other and their prob¬lems rather than bypass them in favor ofan easier route.” With these words Harrietindicated one significant aspect of the ex¬periment. In the form of questions, it asks,“Can a platonic relationship be a full rela¬tionship, an honest relationship?”How does the individual sit within thisgroup? “I do not see direct impositionsmade on individuality,” answered Jerry.He mentioned “responsibilities to the Zion¬ist movement, to the upkeep of the apart¬ment, to the people in it” but didn’t findthat these responsibilities conflicted withhis responsibilities to himself. His thinkingwas clear: admittedly he was narrowing himself by limiting his scope of activitiesand range of direction, but the Bayit of¬fered him advantages that convinced himthat he might develop significantly withinits boundaries.In evaluating the first several months ofthe experiment, members were critical ofthe commune, demanding from each otherand themselves more attention to thosegoals that encouraged them to join thecommune in the first place: increased com¬munication, heightened sensitivity, more ofa total confrontation with one another.SVNA PlansArts FestivalStudents for Violent Non-Action (SVNA)is currently making plans for the LibertineArts Conference (LAC).

Steve Aokl2/,The Chicago Maroon/January 30, <1970uDean Appointed For Soc Sci DivisionRobert McAdams, professor of anthro¬pology at the University, has been appoint¬ed dean of the Division of the Social Scien¬ces by president Edward Levi, effectiveJuly 1,1970. Adams succeeds D Gale John¬son, professor of economics, who hasserved in the post since 1960 and will nowdevote full time to teaching and research.In a telephone conversation with the Ma¬roon, Adams stressed the division’s devo¬tion to graduate training and mentioned the“declining growth rates of the social scien¬ces,” in terms of a decline in researchfunds and projects, as the major difficultyconfronting the division in the future. In hisown discipline of anthropology, he pre¬dicted an increased involvement of anth¬ropologists in the “study of new nations inthe context of developing societies in aworld-setting, not as isolated commu¬nities.”Adams main academic interest is the his¬torical and archeological study of NearEastern agricultural development and thepatterns of urban growth and decline. Hisfield research has included work in Iraq,Iran, and in Yucatan and Chipias in Mexi¬co. He has written two books, Land BehindBaghdad (1965) and Evolution of UrbanSociety (1966).Adams was, born July 23, 1926, in Chi¬cago, He received a PhB degree in 1947, anMA degree in 1952, and a PhD in 1956, allfrom the University of Chicago. He joinedthe faculty in 1954 as instructor in anthro¬pology, and was named assistant professorin 1957, associate professor in 1961, and fullprofessor in 1964.Adams is an advsiory editor for arch¬eology of the Encyclopedia Britannica andwas co-chairman of the advisory committeeon Middle Eastern and South Asian affairsof the National Academy of Sciences. Hehas held visiting professorships at Harvard,Berkeley, Rochester, NYU and the Bagh¬dad School of the American Schools of Ori¬ental Research.Commenting on the appointment, presi¬dent Levi said: “I am most delighted andencouraged by Robert Adam’s acceptanceof the deanship. Distinguished scholar andadministrator, with the highest standardsfor scholarly quality, it is an encouragingmark of the kind of university this is thathe should be willing to undertake this re¬sponsibility in a period which may bemarked by unusual difficulties, but whichalso has unusual promise. His appointmentis in the great tradition of Social ScienceDeans represented by Robert Redfield,Chauncy Harris, and D. Gale Johnson.”Hurst Asserts AlienationCaused by Public SchoolsCharles Hurst began his address by read¬ing a newspaper article which reported themurder of two black students on the westside by police.Hurst, president of Malcolm X College,spoke at the first of the student government(SG) speakers series on “The ChangingLife of the University” in Quantrell audito¬rium on Wednesday.Emphasizing the dehumanizing effect ofthe Chicago public schools, Hurst statedthat the average reading comprehension ofstudents is twenty points below the nationalaverage. He said that several Chicago highschools are police patrolled.Calling for a change in urban educations,Hurst stressed the need for adequate facil¬ities, for more and better trained teachers,for relevant curriculum change, and for anend to the “master-slave” approach whichcharacterizes the country’s public schools.Hurst sharply criticized the “intellectualarrogance” of many of the nation’s publicand private educational institutions, statinghat it is another subtle way in which the system excludes and alienates blackpeople. Hurst feels that students shouldshare power and responsibility with theteacher in the learning process.At Malcolm X college, students shareequal power with the faculty in decisions tohire new faculty.“We don’t start with Plato,” Hurst said.Rather students at Malcolm X are studyingideas which help them with problems intheir lives.Though referring to himself as a “mutedmilitant,” Hurst calls for revolutionarychange in the American political systemwhich oppresses black people. He said thatsince the death of Fred Hampton, slainBlack Panther leader, many young blackpeople have blossomed in their determina¬tion to fight the repression in this country.Hurst concluded by calling for a move-ment willing to struggle^ against the sys¬tem, so that “when thejf shoot one of us,there will be plenty more people to keepfighting.” D GALE JOHNSON: The social sciences division dean who will be replaced inthe near future. . ,.Students to Review CurriculumDavid RosenbushA new College-wide student committee toreview curriculum has been established byRoger Hildebrand, Aean of the College.This commitee, composed of nine stu¬dents from the various divisions and a stu¬dent government (SG) observer, will func¬tion in conjunction with the existing facultycurriculum committee.Curriculum reform has traditionally beendone by a faculty committee appointedyearly by the dean of the College.The newly constituted student committeehas already met twice. One of their aims isa reevaluation of the present common corecourses and requirements. The committeewill also look at specific problem areas inCollege curriculum, as well as examine thepresent manner of mobilizing faculty talentin the College.The committee on curriculum is present¬ ly being assisted in its work by A1 Shpun-toff, ’71, chairman of the College dean’sstudent advisory committee. Shpuntoff,who participated in the process of selectingcommittee members, refers to the estab¬lishment of the new committee as “theleast forced arrangement for student-facul¬ty cooperation.”Shpuntoff, along with the undergraduateacademic affairs committee of student gov¬ernment, co-sponsored another studentgroup concerned with course offerings inthe College. This second group is attempt¬ing to find some means of improving themethod of course and teacher evaluation.At an initial meeting held Tuesday eve¬ning in Cobb Hall, students interested inworking for a system of uniform College¬wide evaluations considered a variety of al¬ternate possibilities. In summarizing the discussion of theTuesday evening meeting, Shpuntoff said,“Interest was expressed in setting up acoordinating body to establish a College¬wide teaching evaluation project.”He continued, “It would involve standardcomputerized forms to be supplemented byadditional more subjective questions pro¬vided by the Collegiate Division AdvisoryCouncils.”The group plans to meet again in thenear future to write the actual question¬naire and to draft specific proposals.The student members of the new curricu¬lum committee are Marvin Bittner, ’72;Margaret Eagle, ’71; Irl Exstein, ’70; IsaacFinkle, ’73; Emily Grosholz, ’72; HollyHartstone, (spokesman); Carolyn Haynes,’72; Lawrence Luckom, ’72; Howard Strass-ner, ’70; Gerard Leval, ’72 (SG observer).Wig Sale!BUY DIRECT'“' -IMPORTER100% HUMAN HAIR WIGSMachine Made Wigs a a noReg Retail $29.50 to 59.50 I 4.UUHand Made Wigs oa qaReg Retail $85.00 to 200.00 OH.aU26.90Fashionable FallsReg Retail $49.50 to 79.50Lovely Wiglets a aaReg Retail $15.00 to 25.00 D.DUBeautiful Cascades 11 aaReg Retail $20.00 to 35.00 I I aOUEyelashes * mReg Retail $2.50 to 5.00 I ,*fUStretch Wigs * a aaReg Retail $24.95 to 29.95 I *V.«fUSynthetic.

The following is aWHPK editorial which will be broadcastall day today on WHPK, 88.3 FM.One year ago today the Universityquaked in fear as some 500 studentsmarched into the administrationg buildingand claimed it as their own, and insistedthat they would keep it forever or until Mar¬lene Dixon was rehired. Well they didn’tand she wasn’t and in the twelve interven¬ing months there has been the beating of aprofessor in his office, three all-faculty dis¬ciplinary committees, the revival of foot¬ball, the exposure of an FBI undercoveragent who later brandished a gun, theRockefeller Chapel Gala, and the famousshattering of a glass front door. The intensefeeling of History In The Making that near¬ly everyone experienced last Januai7 hasbeen superseded by a strange combinationof increased somberness and spontaniousfrivolity. Of all the places people were pre¬dicting the University was going to lastyear, few would have guessed that it wouldhave ended up where it is now.The University has changed. There is anew placidity on campus which is morethan just the absence of visible overt politi¬cal action. The Hutch boycott of last quar¬ter aroused no real heat or enlightenment,discussion or agitation. It occurred in avacuum, and though many were remindedof old complaints against the University’sdisciplinary policies there was no large-scale stirring of angry embittered students.In place of outrage tfott-e was apathy.In saying this we are not necessarilyvaluing disruption or scorning peaceful andpolite discussion. No disrespect toward anysector of the University is intended. What we are saying is that this strange kind ofpeace has settled over the Midway andmore, we would point out that Chicago ismerely a part of a broader national pheno¬mena. What we are seeing in the academicyear 1969-70 is the forgoing of a new si¬lent generation, endorsed and approved bypractically everyone who matters. Thereare three factors shaping this new retreatinto apathy.The first is the failure of the wave of sit-ins last year. There has been a reactionagainst the unilateral theatrics which soshocked Middle America. This is only natu¬ral and by itself might have led to a con¬cern for more practical causes than simplydisrupting the provincial lives of variousuniversities.January 30, 1970/The Chicago Maroon/5However there then entered factor num¬ber two, the Big December Draft GiveawayJackpot Raffle, which will surely stand asthe final historically significant act of thenineteen sixties. As a combination lollipop-rubberhose it has served a coercive govern¬ment well. It has demoralized the country’sdraft age men, replacing dangerous talk ofDuty Honor Country Right Wrong MoralityConscience Life Death and Guilt withharmless acceptable talk such as Numbers,Birthdays, Quotas, Gimmicks, and Every¬man For Himself. It threw a generationinto three hundred sixty six separate cagesand sent them down the conveyor belt topotential slaughter while trying to convincethem that they were doing them a favor.The emergence of the salutation “What’syour number?” marks the beginning of anew dark era of political philosophy.To complete the stagnation brew, throwin element number three, the noble battleto save our environment. It’s perfect. All it THE BIG VOTE: The tally recorded at pre-sit-in mass meeting.takes is a sheaf of political speeches andmagazine cover stories and voila, you’veconvinced a generation of your people thatwhat they really care about most of all iscleaning up the mess that’s thrown intotheir faces by obnoxious industry. Move thewar to the back pages and make con¬servation respectable. On top of the failureof last year’s demonstrations and the draftlottery it can’t miss.And so we come back to the University of Chicago. The issues raised last Januaryabout the role of the University in societyare important ones and will have to beworked out sometime. But before that canhappen the more immediate causes of thecurrent malaise of political activism willhave to be met. In the weeks to comeWHPK will be making some modest pro-posals in this area. It could be the silentFifties all over again unless something isdone. •EDITORIALThe Movement?“I will shake off depression,” Eustacia Vye of Thomas Hardy’sReturn of the Native announces, furiously and futilely resisting theprospect of spending the rest of her days on the desolate and austereEdgon Heath. Eustacia, clearly, didn’t know when she had a goodthing going; she had never been to the University of Chicago dur¬ing the winter.Today this depression has a special poignancy. A year agotoday over 400 hopeful, fervent students swarmed into the unlikelytemple of the administration building, ready to do battle for thenew Jerusalem. Two weeks later they left, discouraged, sick froma diet of peanut butter, and disillusioned in a way that has sinceturned into a political inactivity based on bitterness.To talk to many of the faculty here, last winter just neverhappened. The University has run smoothly this year, and as faras they are concerned, so shall it ever run. Last year’s violence wasan aberration caused by a lot of nasty, loud mouthed people —Marlene Dixon, Richard Flacks, Howie Machtinger, Jeff Blum andassorted radicals — who have now moved on to be someone else’sworry. Now that the ugly interruption is past, the University cansettle down to its real business of education.We too feel that the University’s real business is education, andthat the University’s first responsibilities must be met in classrooms.But this fact of the special nature of the University’s work does notgive it license to forget about the world outside the classroom, or itsown institutional functions. Why do students still have no say indeciding who will teach them? Why is the University’s response toproblems still the slow and obfuscated findings of faculty-studentcommittees whose recommendations based as they are on theexamples of other universities, are almost always for only the tiniestdeviations from present policy?But of course students should not depend for the granting ofresponsibilities upon the faculty, the group whose privileges theyare asking to infringe upon. If the student political scene is stag¬nating, it cannot be .anyone’s fault but the students.Students are tired of butting fragile craniums against brickwalls. You can maintain valiant enthusiasm for what slowly appearsto be a hopeless cause for only so long. After you’ve had your headcracked at the convention, or been suspended at the University,you get discouraged. For many students we’ve spoken to, the non¬activism facilely labeled “apathy” has been a conscious choice,based upon despair whether anything ever gets put to rights, orupon bitterness over the results of last year’s sit-in.If the faculty is secretly pleased at the creeping political paraly¬sis appearing on campuses all over, they’d better think again. Afterthe fifties worried pronouncements could be heard across the landabout our uncommitted students. During the sixties they got com¬mitted all right, to the point of annoying those who support dissentand change in theory but call it “coercion” when it comes too near.Those who are now relieved at the apparent diminution of studentfury should remember their own sententious condemnations often years ago.And to student we offer a warning. If you want to be unin¬volved, that’s your privilege. It’s also your responsibility to faceup to the implications of non-involvement, the signing away of yourright to be dissatisfied when things don’t work out to your liking.We would like to offer a warning against phony involvement. Wevery much fear the new “battle against pollution,” as a way ofchanneling student anger into relatively harmless areas. Of course,we’re not in favor of pollution; who is? It is, essentially, a harmlessissue. Certainly there is the fight of the little guy against the bigbad industrialist, but where is the idealogical clash in this issue?We mistrust the satisfied approval of politicians who endorse stu¬dent protests against pollution with relief; we fear that this kind of“involvement” will become a cover-up and an excuse for relegatingmore controversial, ideological problems to obscurity.No controversies rage on campus today. Was it only a year ago?The Maroon today prints a special supplement on the sit-in ascontribution toward shaking off depression, our reminder. LETTERS TO THE EDITORSOn AbortionI should like to correct some mis-state¬ments which appeared in the January 20,1970 issues of the Maroon on the occasion ofmy speaking at Crossroads Student Centeron the subject of abortion.l indicated that there were three majorreasons during the 19th Century for theenactment of laws prohibiting abortion inIllinois and most other states. First, to pro¬tect women from dangerous medical proce¬dures which without adequate anti-bioticswere frequently fatal. Second, as your pa¬per reported, to guard against womenbeing able to shield themselves from theconsequences of their indiscretion andpromiscuity! Third, to defend a widely heldChristian view that it was morally wrong toterminate a pregnancy once it had begun. Ipointed out that in one way or another all ofthese concerns were influential in the pas¬sage of our present abortion laws.I also stated that among the women Ihave personally counseled, 45 percent areunmarried, 45 percent are married, andthat 10 percent fall into a special categoryof minors (under 18), divorced, widows,and married women impregnated by menother than their husbands.On the matter of distinguishing between acontraceptive and an abortant, I stated thatonly as the words “contraceptives” and“abortants” are used in a very particularway, can they be easily distinguished. Thecondom and diaphragm constitute a barrierbetween sperm and ovum, thus clearly con¬traceptives. The “Pill” which is widelyused suppresses a woman’s ovulation as ameans of preventing fertilization and isclearly a contraceptive. Obviously, themanual removal of a fertilized ovum fromthe wall of the uterus can be appropriatelydescribed as an abortion. So defined the dif¬ference between a contraceptive and anabortant makes sense.But, if one asks what the IUD (the in¬trauterine device) actually does, one ishard put to know whether one is dealingwith a contraceptive or an abortant. Thereis still considerable medical disagreementas to whether the IUD prevents sperm andovum from uniting or whether it simplyprevents the already fertilized ovum fromimplanting on the wall of the uterus. Thesecond interruptive technique which isclearly an abortant and not a contraceptiveis the post-coitus pill (the morning afterpill). A third procedure now widely used inrape cases and in other circumstanceswhere it is desirable to prevent pregnancyconsists of a massive dose of stilbestrolwhich apparently makes the wall of theTHECHICAGO MAROONEditor: Caroline HeckBusiness Manager: Emmet GonderManaging Editor: Mitch BobkinNews Editor: Sue LothPhoto Editor: Steve Aoki, Phil LathropFeature Editor: Wendy GlocknerAssociate Editors: Con Hitchcock (Managing),Steve Cook (News), Chris Froula (Features),Mitch Kahn (Sports), Rob Cooley (Copy).Assistant Business Manager: Joel PondelikSenior Editor: Roger BlackStaff: Judy Alsofrom, Paul Bernstein, NancyChisman, Allen Friedman, Sarah Glazer, PeteGoodsell, Stan Goumas, Gordon Katz, SusanLeft, Gerard Leval, Joseph Morris, Tom Moss-berg, Ellen Sazzman, Audrey Shalinsky, DavidSteele, John Stevens, Carl Sunshine.Photography Staff: Mike Brant, Steve Current,Richard Davis, Monty Futch, Ben Gilbert,Mark Israel, Jesse Krakauer, Jerry Levy,David Rosenbush, Paul Stelter.Founded in 1892.

If the manual proce¬dure held any appreciable medical risk forthe patient, then the law might still makesome sense. But since an abortion beforethe end of the third month by a qualifiedphysician under approved sanitary condi¬tions is medically less dangerous per 100,-000 women than childbirth and less dan¬gerous than the continued use of THEPILL, then the law is ridiculous and sense¬less!I trust this clarifies at least some of thequestions raised by the earlier article.E. Spencer ParsonsFacts on CubaIn his letter in Tuesday’s Maroon, Leon¬ard Radinsky charges that I misinterpretedhis description of Cuba as constituting“considerable political repression,” in myJanuary 23 article. His rosy picture of Cubasimply will not stand up to the facts, whichindicate a tyrannical, incompetent regimeso repressive as to make us wonder wheth¬er any books we donate to the “Books forCuba” drive would ever reach the Cubanpeople.In Cuba, as Radinsky admits in his letter,“organizing for counter-revolution is notallowed.” Cuba is a rigid police state: thereare two to three government spies (“in¬formers”) on every block; all newspapersand mass media are controlled by the gov¬ernment; an estimated 50,000 Cubans are injail for political reasons; no skilled work¬ers, professionals, or draft-age men areallowed to leave Cuba; only tne “People’sMilitia,” about 10 percent of the adults, areallowed to keep guns. Small wonder thatthere is only a “small, visible minority ofCubans who are hostile to the govern¬ment!”To escape the repression, over half a mil¬lion Cubans are now emigrating in dailyairlifts at the rate of 4000 a month, despitethe restriction that they can take no belong¬ings along.And what has the political repressiongained for the Cuban people? Has “social¬ism” worked economic miracles, as Ra¬dinsky claims?After 10 years of incompetent economicreform attempts, Castro’s schemes havefailed one after another. He has reducedthe Cuban economy to primitive efficiency;sugar cane production (Cuba’s only prod¬uct) has fallen since 1959; average per-ca-pita income has decreased since the “capi¬talists”; nearly all necessary food isrationed to the people in measely amounts;forced labor is practiced; a great per¬centage of the woman population (25 per¬cent by 1975) are manual laborers.If ever the “few exploited the many,” itis in Cuba today. Small wonder that not asingle Latin American country has followedCastro’s model of “socialism.”If Radinsky really believes his rosy por¬trait of Cuba and if he doesn’t think there isconsiderable political repression, he shouldbe prepared to debate the matter, and notmerely to give one-sided lectures and de¬mand that we report them sheepishly.If we donate books to Cuba, it is highlyquestionable whether Castro’s police, whichinspects all incoming material, would everpermit the books, printed in the “imperial¬ist US,” to reach the Cuban people.I urge all generous students not to sendyour textbooks to Cuba, but rather to do¬nate them to poor people in the US, or todonate their financial worth to the peoplestarving in Woodlawn.Stan Goumas, ’71Continued on Page Nine6/The Chicago Maroon/January 30, 1970Special Maroon Supplement THESIT-IN:ONE YEAR LATERThe University of Chicago Friday, January 30, 1970There Was a Sit-In Last Year, Remember?By Roger BlackIt is very hard to sit down and think ra¬tionally about the sit-in last year. It was thegreat nervous breakdown of the University,the big freak-out, and it is impossible toremember it without recalling some of theanguish, the hysteria, the bitterness, andthe pain. No one has pleasant memories ofthe sit-in — not the demonstrators, who hadentered the building, 500-strong, with a cer¬tain confusion of purpose but a degree ofenthusiasm, and who left one by one untilafter two weeks, sick and tired, the last 150banded together and marched irresolutelyout of the building; not the majority of thestudents, who remained aloof and who nowfeel slightly, but only slightly guilty aboutit; not the horde of bureaucrats who finallygot their offices back; not Marlene Dixon,who looked on as the cause celebre withboth gratification and despair; not EdwardLevi, who was praised by Newsweek forrefusing to call the police; not the liberalmembers of the nascent student councils,who were more active than anyone duringthe siege, who found their powers slightlyincreased afterward, and who still havebeen able to accomplish little; and certain¬ly not the members of the Maroon staff,who were alternately blamed for causingthe sit-in or for causing it to fail.Barbara Hurst, who had been the Ma¬roon’s news editor the preceding fall quar¬ter, was under the impression last fall thatRichard Flacks was up for tenure, and re¬membering the fight over Jesse Lemsich’sreappointment in the history department,she called up Morris Janowitz, chairman ofFlacks’ department, sociology. Janowitzsaid, no, Flacks had another year before hewas to be considered for tenure, but did sheknow about Marlene Dixon? Barbara, whois a smart girl (perhaps smarter than all ofus, since right after that conversation shefled Hyde Park and the University of Chi¬cago for Boston, and has not come back),said, “You mean about ther not gettingreappointed?” And Janowitz went on togive her some details, and in the next Ma¬roon there was the headline, “Mrs DixonNot Appointed,” next to a picture of herstanding in her academic robes during thevigil outside of Rockefeller Chapel whileEdward Levi was being sworn in inside.At that time very few students knew how Steve Aokifaculty came to be appointed; it was amystery the faculty had not been willing todivulge. And so there was a great deal ofspeculation as to why Mrs Dixon had notbeen reappointed. At first it was thought tobe another instance of research over teach¬ing. Marlene had the reputation of being agood teacher, but not a good researcher,ergo she was tossed out. Many suspectedthat her politics had been a factor. If it wasnot a matter of outright 1950’s type repres¬sion, it could have been that her politicshad changed the nature and scope of herwork, perhaps she was getting involved in abrand of sociology, “radical” sociology,that was not accepted by professionals onthe faculty, who were “liberals.” Then anew question was raised, one that appar¬ently never had been thought of before, andthat was, “Was she fired because she was awoman?” It was suddenly realized thatthere were few women on the faculty, andonly a handful of women with tenure. What¬ever explanation was given, it was thoughtthat if the students had somehow had ahand in making the decision, it would havebeen different. This was a notion the facul¬ty vigorously resisted; first they thoughtthat Mrs Dixon had not deserved reappoint¬ment; she did not meet the standards of thefamous sociology department of the famousUniversity of Chicago; second, they didn’tsee that students had any business inter¬fering with faculty appointments — theywere only transients in the University, notpermanent residents; they didn’t know thesubject well enough, they hadn’t read theliterature, they hadn’t done the research,they weren’t sensible enough of the “pro¬fession.”Most students didn’t know what was go¬ing on. They didn’t know Marlene Dixon.They didn’t have political minds. Theydidn’t particularly want to get involved inchoosing professors. The radicals called abig meeting to discuss the situation and make demands. The faculty, seeking tomake their case clear (quite convinced ofthe reasonableness of it all), called theirown meeting for the same time. OnJanuary 17, the meetings coincided. Thefaculty wanted to make a vague and hy¬pothetical explanation of faculty appoint¬ment procedures. The students wanted toknow why Marlene Dixon had not been re¬hired. The faculty demurred. The studentsinsisted. The faculty walked out.And that, right there, was the cause ofthe sit-in. If the faculty had stayed, andtried to explain the complexity of the deci¬sion, and had listened to the reasons thestudents were giving for their demand tobecome a part of the University, then therewould not have been a sit-in. By walkingout, they drew the lines for combat, thefaculty on one side and the students on theother. The faculty could regard the stu¬dents as childish and ignorant about howthe University was run (of course theywere ignorant, the professors had nevercondescended to inform them). And the stu¬dents could regard the faculty as self-right¬eous and inflexible.The night before the sit-in, my friends,Michael Sorkin, Jeanne Wilder and herroommate Wendy, and I piled into a mid¬night blue 1958 Rambler American Superthat I had acquired from my aunt in Char¬lottesville, and headed toward the industri¬al section of northern Indiana, looking forsome mechanical wonder that Michael hadseen once. He was driving; there was afifth of JW Dant in the glove drawer (the1958 Rambler featured a large metal draw¬er instead of a glove compartment) whichwe sampled liberally, singing, telling sto¬ries, speculating about thejmminent sit-in.We saw a number of bridges and great fun¬nels belching flames and hot gas (the skywas red), but we never found what Michaelwas looking for. The Rambler, coughingand steaming, had had it, and so we got back on the freeway at five in the morning,drunk and tired and apprehensive.The next day was hell. I had a mild hang¬over, not the kind that totally incapacitatesyou, but the kind that makes you feel likesitting in the swing out on the verandahsipping iced tea, and listening to the birdsand the rustle of the leaves. Instead it waswinter, in Chicago, and I was forced to putout a Maroon, a real monster, 36 pages orsomething, supposedly with enough newsand interpretation to occupy the Universityfor the weekend. The staff was hoppingwith excitement. There was a great deal ofdiscussion over how to cover the sit-in; whoshould go where; who would do what. Re¬porters from the regular media swarmedin, thinking we would know what was goingon. There were calls from administratorsand lunatics. And throughout it all, therewas the feeling that the whole damn thingwas half-baked. We knew that most of thestudents were not yet involved; and oncethe curious alliance of student-power peopleand radicals had gone into the building wedidn’t see how the rest could be won over.The staff was not agreed either on theevents or what we should say about them,which produced a certain amount of vacil¬lation in the policy of the paper. We hadour allotment of radicals, women’s liber¬ation fanatics, gung-ho student power advo¬cates, conservatives, and bewildered by¬standers. The only explanation that occur¬red to us was that the University had liter¬ally taken leave of its senses. The pretenseto rational discourse was, as a Maroon edi¬torial said, thrown out the window. All theself-doubts and fears began to multiply;parnoia was rampant; the psychosis be¬came all-consuming. There was an efflu¬vium of mimeography.As the administration building began tofill up with revolutionary graffiti and crustsof peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, thefactions in the alliance began to breakapart, and then split into smaller factions.The student power people (those who want¬ed a student voice in academic decisions)began to drift away. The women’s libpeople, the Machtinger faction of SDS andPL began to have long ideological argu¬ments, in meetings or informally in thehallways and offices, over what the sit-inwas trying to accomplish, what the revolu-Continued on Page 12I i»< • * 1 • *Chronology: The Rise and Fall of the Sit-InSteve AokiTHE STRIKE: Dixon supporters held a class strike to arouse students.on her sex or her political views.THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6: By a vote of 150 to 3, demonstrators vote to stay in thebuilding for at least one more week.FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7: Administrators enter ad building, hand out more summonses.SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8: Ten Minutemen break into the ad building, fight withstudents.

One of many still ac¬tive in Students for a Democratic Society(SDS), this student, like others, finds thathis political goals have become accentuatedduring the year. The SDS members con¬tacted who are organizing in factories andoffices appear to belong to the InternationalSocialists (IS), Revolutionary Youth Move¬ment II (RYM II), and the Workers — Stu¬dent Alliance (WSA).Several expelled students however, havesevered their ties with SDS and have be¬come involved in radical community organ¬izing. John Welch is in the process of or¬ganizing a community control take-over ofa mental health center in New York City.Although under much pressure from “in¬sensitive professionals,” the group hopes tobring the health center under the control ofcommunity workers “who can relate to thePuerto Rican masses.” Here in Chicago,former student Rob Skeist is organizing thenear western suburb of Maywood aroundthe draft and the war. His group is some¬what successfully attempting to get “con¬servative, reactionary towns to identifywith the movement.” Several students in¬volved in community organization feel, asWelch does, that “from the best I can tell,SDS is dead.”At any rate, most of these students in¬volved in political organizing outside of theUniversity, whether in SDS or not, believethat “it is important for people not to be inuniversities. Radical change is not deter¬mined by universities. If you are going totalk about change, don’t focus on an elitecommunity. You’ve got to look towardwhite working class high school kids whodon’t have the university as a safety valve;these include kids who are drafted or whoare working.”One group involved in “tdrning on highschool kids to the way they think thingsshould be” is the group of expelled studentsin the Weatherman faction of SDS. Al¬though the Maroon could not contact anyWeathermen, a reliable source said thatmost former students are living in Weath¬ermen collectives, particularly concen¬ trated in Chicago, Michigan, and Ohio.“It’s kind of a marginal existence,” hesaid. “Many are living in holes in the wallon the outskirts of town. Most don’t evenhave running water, let alone a telephone.”Several expelled students are now goingto school, including Princeton, Old West-bury, City College of New York, Barnard,and the University of Illinois. Many ofthese students are not political at all thisyear. Joan Facher, at Sarah Lawrence istrying to find a way to be political “so itdoesn’t mess up the person.” She is disturb¬ed that “the more political one is, thestronger his committment has to be andmore willing he has to be to give thingsup.”Several students however, are still tryingto further their political goals, by joiningradical groups on campus or in the city.Chris Hobson, who couldn’t receive hismaster’s degree because of his expulsion, is now publishing a book with historian JesseLemisch once a faculty member here about“the ideology and practice of political re¬pression by academic liberals since WorldWar II.”Former students here are for the mostpart united in their analyses of the sit-in.“Of course we were totally right” saysLouise Brotsky, now working in a bank inSan Francisco. “We just didn’t push hardenough.” Another student expressed sim¬ilar opinions of the ideals behind the sit-inand the tactics they used. “What a miser¬able job we did and how stupid the Univer¬sity was to kick a bunch of people out forthat fiasco.” If they had it to do over again,one student said that “we would have kick¬ed out the administration immediately. Wewould have tried to close the school downand use more dramatic tactics.”One person saw the failure of the sit-in interms of the approach of the demonstra¬ tors. “Personal and political life are notseparate categories,” Skeist said. “Thoseof us who value the process of redefiningour lives should have been more confidentin ourselves and more aggressive in draw¬ing people out. Because we didn’t deal insmall groups in redefining our lives wecouldn’t hold together as a community. Wecan’t help people develop radically unlesswe can be their friends. We were that wayin the first couple days of the sit-in, but itdidn’t stay. People got frustrated and left.”Geographically, people appear to beevenly distributed in New York, Chicago,and California. Many are traveling.Most expelled students appear to be satis¬fied with their present activities; few havespecific plans for the future; some ex¬pressed the desire to continue their educa¬tion. None of the students contacted wantsto re-enroll here. One student said, “Ofcourse I hate the University.”David TravisHAVE YOU SEEN THESE PEOPLE?

The dirty words and radical slo¬gans scrawled in chalk on the sides of thebuilding were a daily reminder that theworld had turned upside down. They sawthe holy floors once trod by Harper andHutchins being tarnished by dirty feet andpeanut butter sandwiches.To a lot of students, the time of the sit-inwas also a tragic time. The disciplinaryfiascos that followed radicalized as manystudents as the sit-in itself. But to the oneswho were disciplined, the trials merely sup¬ported their alienation from this place.But the greatest tragedy of all is that theUniversity hasn’t changed at all in a year.The majority of students here still are notinvolved in the University.How many classes are really exciting?When was the last time that you were in¬volved in a classroom discussion? Howmany of your professors would you sit-infor? How many are really good teachers? Many students simply gave up hope lastspring about bringing about any significantchange here. They either left Chicago, orthey are now hibernating, waiting untilthey can. Defeatism is not a very produc¬tive attitude. The question is, is it justified?The great University of Chicago, home ofeducational innovation and progressivismis a myth. Perhaps it always was; in anycase it certainly is now. “Keep ’em down”is the administration’s attitude toward stu¬dents. The total response from the Univer¬sity has been little more than public rela¬tions gimmicks.The quality of life here is pitiful, and thereason is simple; there is no money. Itdoesn’t take long living in a dorm to realizethat the only principle in their constructionwas to save money. The University is con¬stantly trying to lure students back into thedorms from apartments, yet they don’t un¬derstand that when built they were unfit tolive in.CORSO (committee on registered studentorganizations) got thirty thousand dollarslast fall to support a year’s worth of stu¬dent activities. Thus many of them (such as Revitalization, Doc films, and the Ma¬roon) depend on advertisements and admis¬sions fees to break even. Others, such asWHPK-FM, are severely limited by themoney they can get from the University.Meanwhile, the Office of Public Informa¬tion buys a four-page center spread in theMaroon to tell us how poor the Universityis.We are all to aware that the Universityputs research at the top of its list. But re¬search for what, and for whom? Who willbe running this country thirty years fromnow, if not the students of today?Students are niggers, especially here.Maybe it’s good to know how that feels.Maybe the people who are now shooting he¬roin in the dorms and apartment of HydePark realize that too.Yes, perhaps the most tragic figures ofthe sit-in last year are the students whostayed on, expecting something to come outof it. “Rational discourse” was once a veryfunny thing to say, because it wasn’t aquestion of what was said, but of whetheranyone was really listening. Apparently,they weren’t. David TravisANOTHER MISSING FACE: Jeff Blum,who disappeared soon after the Oakscommittee met.January 30, 1970/Sit-in Supplement/3Marlene Dixon Looks Back At Sit-InMarlene Dixon sat in a small Southshore apartmentlast weekend — months but only miles apart from thechaotic campus scene that figured her prominently inlast year’s sit-in. She had come to Chicago on a women’sliberation movement Midwest speaking tour, but preferrednot to visit the campus that left her so many bittermemories. Still, humor had not left the thirty-three yearold blonde assistant professor of sociology, now “exiled”at McGill university in Montreal. She cculd laugh tothink that the University so effectively “created” revolu¬tionaries, she who belongs to this new breed, who woulddevote her life to women’s liberation and movement.Mrs. Dixon moved to Chicago in Autumn 1966 to jointhe University faculty as an assistant professor for thecommittee on human development and the departmentof sociology. She became national coordinator of thewomen’s caucus of the new university conference, and amember of the national coordinating committee for theradical caucus of the american sociological association.When her three-year contract was not renewed, sheaccepted a three-year contract at McGill beginning lastfall.In the years since people marched into the ad buildingcrying “Rehire Marlene” and everything else, it seemsyou have become more of a symbol than a person to a lotof people. Has becoming a symbol had its drawbacks? Hasit changed your life or your work?It has transformed my life, as it has transformed thelives of many of the students who participated in the sit-in. I left Chicago; my teaching obligations were over. Itwas very difficult. I couldn’t stay on campus because Ijust wanted to smash it and I couldn’t smash it.I saw no point in remaining; my life at Chicago wasover with the end of the students’ struggle. The purge ofthe students, the treatment of the students was so offen¬sive to me that I couldn’t stay. So what I did was to leaveand become, in effect, a full-time organizer for the move¬ment. At that time I was primarily working with youthmovements on various campuses but also organizing forthe left wing of the women’s liberation movement.Then I went to Berkeley, which I love very much, andworked there, primarily with the radical women in Ber¬keley, and with the women’s caucus in the sociology de¬partment, which I am happy to say may shut it downagain, and went through People’s Park.Because it was very dangerous to speak I didn’t sur¬face publicly during People’s Park, but I went into thestreets every day. Then I went to Los Angeles where Itaught summer session, and also organized for the Unionof Radical Sociologists’ activities for the American Sociol¬ogical Association’s meeting in San Francisco in Septem¬ber, then left for Montreal.So I think the most significant thing that happened tome is a profound radicalization. I mean I was a radical tostart with but I’m much more radical now than I ever wasbefore. It’s quite clear that my contract will not be re¬newed at McGill because I refuse to play by the rules ofthe game. That probably means, given the fact of theextent to which I am blacklisted that that will be the endof opportunity to work in universities.This does not distress me because it becomes more diffi¬cult for me to live within universities because of the na-David TravisDURING INAUGURATION: With newsmen after joiningstudents4/Sit-in Supplement/January 30/ 1970' Sue LothMARLENE DIXON: The professor todayture of universities and the function of universities. So in away I’m looking forward to the end to that period of mylife and really preparing for the new period that will fol¬low, in which I will become a full time organizer andprobably will locate in Berkeley, return to Berkeley, re¬turn to the United States.Do you think that’s the direction of all radical sociolo¬gy, given the state of social sciences and universities? Isradical sociology doomed within the confines of the univer¬sity?There’s no question it’s doomed within the confines ofthe university; it’s hostile to the university and it’s hostileto establishment sociology. Increasingly radical sociologyis Marxist, and increasingly demands that there can be nodivision between theory and practice. It is not possible tosit in the university and talk learnedly about revolution.The requirement is that one think and study about revolu¬tion in order that one can go out into the world and makeone.I might add, I think that my own personal transforma¬tion and radicalization as a consequence of the struggle atChicago as reflected in the movement as a whole is re¬flected in the shift in the United States, in the under¬standing that that people have that armed struggle ishere, and that repression and assassination on the part ofthe state, as in the case of the Black Panther party, ishere. Berkeley during People’s Park had to be occupiedby the Army, as you know. So I think that these transfor¬mations are located historically, they happened to manypeople, not just to me.What’s happening is that people are really in the pro¬cess of shifting from being radicals to revolutionaries —whatever that might mean, to be a revolutionary. I thinkthat’s happened to the Third World movement. So, if youwant me to come back and talk about sociology, and bysociology I mean academic sociology, traditional sociolo¬gy, establishment sociology — it should be abolished.It represents the ruling interests of American impe¬rialism, does counter insurgency research, it has no ade¬quate theoretical development, its theory is an apology forthe system, or a reflection of how the system ought ideallyto work and clearly does not, and it is also incapable ofunderstanding our times, or predicting anything aboutwhere our times are going. It should be abolished.One radical opposition to sociology today is that itcontributes to the oppression of women with its theories ofthe division of labor; likewise psychology and history havebeen assailed for representing women as primarily sexual,nurturing beings or for ignoring women’s struggles. Areany disciplines, such as science, doing anything for wom¬en’s equality?Oh no, oh no, of course not. The only people that aredoing anything about women are women. Some of thosewomen want equality, and some of those women want tomake a revolution, in order that they may liberate them¬selves and liberate all people and all oppressed people.They want not only to bring about their own liberation butthey understand that in order to bring about their ownliberation it is necessary to bring American imperialism down. It is necessary to understand that we’re not dealingwith a national ruling class in the United States, we redealing with an international ruling class, that it is neces¬sary therefore to relate to a worldwide revolutionarystruggle, it is necessary to relate to the Third Worldpeople’s struggles within the United States.In other words, we no longer think when we say“women” that we mean American women — we think ailwomen, everywhere, all peoples everywhere. Clearly noacademic discipline is going to be engaged in helping usdo that or helping us think that through or helping usdevelop a flexible, politically sophisticated revolutionarywomen’s movement that is capable or working with othersuch movements to bring about the destruction of a sys¬tem that oppresses and loots half the world.Then you haven’t much faith in the university?I want to talk about what the University of Chicagodid to people. During that conflict they tried to bribe me,they tried to threaten me, they tried to blackmail me,they did all these things, none of which worked, and theytried the same kinds of things with the students. And whatwe saw in the course of that struggle was what the natureof the University really was. The nature of the Universityis completely oppressive, it’s a concentration camp. Itsrhetoric is a lie; it is completely merciless in protectingits interests, and those interests are the interests of thepeople who run this society and who run the new empire.So what they did was to take away people’s options forselling out, right? And it turned into a machine for makingrevolutionaries and it made quite a few revolutionaries inthe process. And that comes out of an understanding thatcan only be gained in the course of struggle, in con¬fronting them and understanding the nature of their powerand their function in the world.The University is a racist institution; the University isan elite institution which serves only the interests of oneclass. There are not many poor students going to the Uni¬versity of Chicago. The University is racist as it relates toits community, and the University develops a knowledgeand a skill and a technology which is essential for themaintenance of American imperialism. The University isan integral part of the Monster, and it reflects the natureof that society. You can learn about American society bylearning what the University really is.Now, to some of us it came as quite a shock, what theUniversity really was. We knew that it was pretty corrupt,and we knew that it was pretty oppressive, but we stillhad some shreds of belief, some loyalties, some notionthat the University was a good place to be, that you couldbe a radical there, that you could teach your studentsthere, that you could develop your thoughts there.We thought of it in some ways as a shelter from therest of the horror that is this country. What we discoveredof course was that we were fooling ourselves, that it wasnot a shelter, that it was not a place in which you couldwork. It was none of the things that we thought it was. So,thinking back of some of the students that got expelled orgot very heavy sentences because they wouldn’t grovelbefore those despicable men, it came as a shock whenthat came down on them, when the severity of the punish¬ment came down upon them. But it was the best thingthat could have happened to any one of us. The UniversityContinued on Page SixIN THE STRIKE: Marlene in front of Cobb David TravisRichard Flacks Talks From CaliforniaThe only member of the sociology department to dis¬sent with its decision not to rehire Marlene Dixon, Rich¬ard Flacks stirred up almost as much controversy as MrsDixon last year for his pronouncements against the de¬partment and his support of students in the sit-in. Thecontroversy surrounding Flacks reached a peak last May5 when an unknown assailant entered his office under thequise of a reporter from a St Louis newspaper and as¬saulted him, leaving two skull fractures and a nearly sev¬ered right hand. Although he has recovered from the headwounds, he still has some disability in the hand. Policehave not yet arrested his assailant.When he was attacked, the sociology department wasin the middle of a discussion of his request that he begiven an early decision on-tenure after the end of hissecond year of a re-appointment, (his contract had anoth¬er year to run) as he had been offered a tenured positionat another university.His research was concerned primarily with studentradicalism, and his 1967 article on “the liberated gener¬ation” was the basis for further work in this area. Studentfeelings, which had been at low ebb since the abortivestrike of Cobb hall, became more hostile as the weeksdragged on, and the sociology department had not yetannounced its decision. On June 2 the word came from theProvost’s office that Flacks had been given tenure in theCollege and a two year re-appointment in the departmentafter which his work would be re-considered.Flacks thereupon left for the University of Californiaat Santa Barbara where he had been offered a tenuredposition as associate professor.Earlier this week, Flacks was interviewed in SantaBarbara by Con Hitchcock, the Maroon’s associate manag¬ing editor, who has covered the Flacks controversy sincelast spring. Flacks, one of the founders of the Students fora Democratic Society (SDS) in 1962, was tn fine spirits ashe talked of the New Left, the Weathermen, the Californiaclimate, tenure processes, and Vietnam moratoria. Pre¬dicting a possible sit-in at Santa Barbara this week sim¬ilar to the Dixon sit-in, Flacks had no regrets that he hadleft Hyde Park and welcomed his new position as a placewhere he could pursue his work in a much freer atmos¬phere than he had found here.Mr Flacks, what are your initial impressions about SantaBarbara, the department, the atmosphere, the students, ascompared with Chicago?It’s 75° now, which is one important aspect of lifehere. More seriously, I’m in a department now which isreally infinitely more free in its atmosphere, both for stu¬dent and faculty, than what I experienced in Chicago. Andthe university, despite enormous problems, with respect tothe governor and the regents which everyone is aware of,in many ways is surprisingly more responsive to some ofthe issues which were involved in the sit-in last year.For example, students here have the right to attendall meetings of the faculty senate and departments.There’s a special student committee, undergraduate andgraduate, on personnel, and they independently interviewand review faculty appointments. This just started, sowe’re not sure how this is going to work. But there isobviously a trend in the universities out here in the Cali¬fornia system towards increasing a student voice in mat¬ters of faculty hiring and firing.Oddly enough, we are just in the midst of a verysimilar case at the University here to the Dixon matter. Avery popular teacher was not renewed in the anthropologydepartment, and in a student body of 12,000, more than7700 have signed a petition protesting the firing and askingfor an opern hearing. In his case it may well be that bythe end of the week we’ll have a sit-in here like at Chicagobecause the anthropology department refuses to open upthis matter. So in some ways the problems are similar,but in other ways, just in terms of atmosphere, wherelarge numbers of the faculty want to move, it’s a verydifferent atmosphere. There’s much more readiness of thepart of significant groups of faculty members here to re¬think the whole nature of University governance.How well have you recovered from the injuries you re¬ceived last May? How are you feeling?Physically, fine. Just in terms of well-being I stillhave problems with my hand, that is, I don’t have verymuch function in it, and it will be several years before weknow fully how much function I will ultimately have in thehand.Have you heard anything from the police about your as¬sailant?Since I left Chicago, I have heard nothing.Speaking of the political situation in California, 1 readrecently that you had some trouble from the regents re¬garding your position at Santa Barbara, as they now havecontrol over all tenure decisions? What exactly was thesituation?The situation there was that the regents had assumedpower which they have given up several years ago, thatis, to review all appointments, and they assumed that power as of July 1, and I had been officially appointedhere several weeks before that. And then there was pub¬licity, locally, about the fact that a founder of SDS, asthey put it, had been given tenure at the University.And eventually — well, there was a lot of controversyin the local press about this, and eventually the mattercame before the regents. The governor made hostile com¬ments, and several of the regents did, but they could not,in fact, do anything about my appointment. And the chan¬cellor of the university delivered a rather strong defenseof my hiring. Hence the matter was dropped. Since I’vecome I haven’t had any problems whatsoever, either withpast people or the university.Speaking of SDS, as you know, they split into severalfactions after their convention last summer. As a founderof SDS, what are your opinions on this split for the studentmovement? Do you now favor any one faction over anoth¬er?No, I don’t favor any factions. It seems to me thatSDS as an organization of on-campus activists on a nation¬al level probably doesn’t exist any more. I think, that is adisappointment because I think the student movementneeds a national organization. It’s not a devastating thingbecause the movement always was much broader, morediverse than SDS itself, and continues to be active on agood number of campuses.It may well be that it’s impossible to expect a nationalstudent organization to be viable for very many years,with the tremendous turnover of membership and lead¬ership. And much more important than that turnover isjust the tremendously difficult problem that SDS activistshave had, that all of us have had recently in defining whatwe do now when it seems as though the limits of a purelystudent movement have been reached in terms of majorsocial changes. In other words, what I’m trying to say isthat we’ve come to realize that the student movement byitself is not going to make a revolution or a major socialtransformation. Once you realize that, and realize the tre¬mendous barriers to social change that exist in thesociety, that’s when the really intense problems begin toarise, and that, I think, is the root, or one of the roots, ofthe factionalism, with different factions formed arounddifferent strategies who enter into great conflict over whohas the best right to lead the movement.My own attitude has always been, ever since the be¬ginnings of SDS, that whenever you get these factions,they all have a certain kernel of truth, and they all areprobably more or less wrong. And in an ideal world itwould be nice if people were eclectic and understood theneed for a diverse movement working on a number ofdifferent directions. But in the emotion of contest for lead¬ership and stuff like that in the movement, this kind ofdetached view just doesn’t seem to hold up.Do you envisage some kind of national reunification ofSDS sometime in the future?1 really don’t know. I’m not in touch personally withwhat’s happening inside SDS, and I don’t know any groupinterested in restoring a national student organization. Ithink most radicals wish for some kind of unified force,that is, one that includes students and a great many otherconstituencies. But I don’t see that happening in the near DICK FLACKS: Now out westfuture at all. And I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thingif it doesn’t happen. I think we have a great many diversepeople and a great many issues that activate people, andit’s not at all tragic that you have this diversity and evenconflict within the movement, provided, and this is the onething I would hope, that people have a general sense oftheir moving in the same direction.I’m not sure sometimes whether they do have thatsense. I personally feel that, regardless of how much in¬fighting and real hatred may develop in left wing politics,there’s a general movement that embraces all of thesepeople, and if that movement is making headway, then it’sconstantly growing and is constantly effective in under¬mining the status quo.What do you think of the “Four Days o> Rage” of theWeatherman last October in which they went on a ramp¬age through the Chicago gold coast and the Loop? Do youfeel it will hurt the “student movement?”I think it will hurt the Weathermen — physically, ifnot materially, if nothing else. As I understand it, most ofthese people face very heavy jail sentences. Many peoplewere injured, and it’s hard for me to understand whatpositive results could occur from this. I think the Weath¬erman impulse stems from a profoundly moral sense thatwhite upper middle class people have been living off thefat of the world. And previously that moral sense pro-Marlene onContinued from Page Fourstruggled for much more than they struggled for, and Inever understood that they were struggling for me. I un¬derstood that the minute they went into that building Iwas finished, and probably finished in this country. I knewthat; I had been told that they would do that to me. Theirprecise words were, “It’s a little too early in your careerto be a martyr, Marlene.”But that aside, the best thing that happened to manyof us was that struggle. It transformed our lives, clarifiedour minds, and made us relate to this country and thestruggle in this country in a way that would have neverhappened to us without that struggle. The University, Ithink, has pretty much destroyed itself. It’s a very oppres¬sive atmosphere. Junior faculty run around scared, every¬body runs around scared.So they save their status quo, they save their preciousprivileges, and build themselves a concentration camp.They surround themselves with barbed wire, they expelstudents for making a picket line, they kill whatevermight exist in American universities, as little as thatmight be, in terms of creativity or dissent or politicalvitality. They maintain the status quo and preserve theirprivileges but the cost comes very high.In the long run of these kinds of struggles, as with anykind of struggle, the only people who really win, the onlyagency that really wins, is the movement. Only the move¬ment wins, because we can’t lose. We may lose one battlein the campaign, but each battle in the campaign enlargesour army. Because their corruption and their brutalitycreates new soldiers, a new revolutionary cadre, so tospeak.Listen, there is something I want to say; I guess itwas clear to everyone at Chicago. I don’t want anybody tomisunderstand because it’s been misrepresented so oftenin the press and that is into the issue of whether or not Iwas just using the students and didn’t want to stay atChicago anyway.I never used the students because I knew what wouldhappen to me, and what would happen to me if I haddecided to remain a professional would have been verybad. But I didn’t decide to remain a professional. So thatif the students had won a significant victory and I hadbeen part of that package then I would have stayed tohonor that obligation.But when they offered me a year, which is like abribe, which is a way of disguising how vicious they reallyare, my attitude was “If you expel the students, you expelme at the same time, right then and there.” I could neveraccept that kind of hypocritical, disgusting offer. And ifthe kids were going to go out in the streets right away,then Marlene was going to go out on the streets rightaway, if I had to work as a waitress, I didn’t care.Do you think that’s what happened with another well-known University sociologist, Dick Flacks? Did he havethis feeling that it was time to get out anyway?No, I think that in many ways Dick had believed inthe university and in the University of Chicago. He didn’thave illusions, like about the nature of that faculty, but hethought that he could do work in the College that wasimportant and that it was important for people to stay atplaces like Chicago, even though it’s very oppressive forradicals.Phil LathropSPEAKING: Marlene at a sit-in press conference.6/Sit-in Supplement/January 30, 1970 Students and UniversityI think that it’s quite clear that Dick’s support of thestudent struggle, and support of the position that I took tosupport the student struggle doomed him as far as thisUniversity was concerned. I think «hat this University isvery quietly purging itself of every single dissenting voice.It recently tried to deny tenure to a faculty member whois a radical — I don’t think they got away with that butthey sure tried.They’re forcing out certain of the senior faculty whosupported a liberal position, they are firing professor Ju¬dith Long Laws, thereby ridding themselves of the lasttroublesome female — keeping their house women,trustworthy, faithful, and true tokens that they are. I thinkthe University wanted to rid itself of Dick, and did riditself of Dick, and that some rightwingers wanted to ridthe world of Dick and almost did that too.What happened to Dick, the fact that he was nearlyassassinated is another indicator of where the trouble’s at.It’s armed struggle, people are dying, others will bekilled, repression is very much here. And the way waspaved by liberal faculty who in order to protect their ownsecurity and their own self-interest began baying fascist,“New left hooligans,” and so forth, because attempts toalter the University, to open up the University threatentheir privilege. And once you start calling people fascistand professors start getting on the television and say fa»cist, it opens the way for murder. And this is what hap¬pened. The way was opened by those enlightened facultyat the University of Chicago for murder.The hardest, the most difficult aspect of my positionwas having to remain silent while my character was beingassassinated. That silence was quite deliberate, becausethe sit-in was much too focused on a person. And wedidn’t want that, that wasn’t what our struggle was about.We wanted the focus to remain as much as possible withthe students. We didn’t want to waste time or energy interms of a defense (for me). So in many ways I didn’twant into that defense, it was so patently clear what theywere doing that anyone could see what they were doing.We made an immense error in trusting the Gray com¬mittee report. Many people were very shocked by thecontents of that report, because of course they retainedillusions. But for example, when Professor (Edward) Shilsattacked the book outline I had submitted to Wiley — thatit was very mediocre, and so forth — I could have pointedout that Professor (Morris) Janowitz had been one of thepeople who approved of that for Wiley. Or I could havesaid, when Professor Shils said I didn’t teach Veblen, thatin fact I did teach Veblen, was one of the few people thatdid teach Veblen in the theory course, and on and on andon. Lut I didn’t want to dignify the kind of thing that theywere into by even answering it.The other thing that we did not do which we ought tohave done was to reveal very early in the game the wholequestion of the police spies. A student whom we are rela¬tively sure was a free-lance person — we don’t know forsure, but we’re pretty sure he was — introduced to me amember of the Red Squad, Morton Franklin, who thenproceeded to spy on my activities at the union of orga¬nizers at Chicago.Subsequently the Daily News blew the cover in a sto¬ry, and I was assured at the time when I went to thesenior faculty that I would be protected by the Universityand that I should not make a public statement at the time.I very foolishly did not make a public statement at thetime, and trusted that the University would protect itsown faculty.The University did not.What I had done was resign from the student’s com¬mittee and that was all I had done, I had not persecutedhim, I had not done, anything. Nor had I committed anyacts in around or with any of those police spies that I hadto hide, although the gossip system, which is very skillful¬ly used by the University administration, circulated thesekinds of despicable stories.Later the student sued the University, claiming politi¬cal discrimination against him committed by myself. Thestudent is not in very good shape and at the time that hewas threatening this lawsuit against the University, heapparently told them a lot of stories which were com¬pletely false. And the administration officials which wereinvolved in that never spoke to me, personally or directlyabout the fact that the University was being sued andabout the charges that this student was making.And Dick had wanted to bring that out in the openearly and I had been afraid to do so because the studenthad threatened to use character assassinations against anumber of people. It was alleged that his lawyer hadthreatened to do this, that is to make people come to trialas witnesses, and then proceed to character assassinatethem. And, even if they could prove that they hadn’t doneany of those things it would stick, because people like tobelieve dirty stories.I had not wanted to jeopordize these people, so wedidn’t blow this whole thing at the beginning — which isprobably something we should have done, since the law¬suit was filed not too long before the decision on the partof the administration to deny human development’srequest for me was made. That’s a curious coincidence intiming.Apparently it was dropped.. .oh, the student was read- Steve AokiTHE DECISION: Marlene turns down the Gray com¬mittee recommendation.Whatever became of the student?mitted to the University. I was fired, and he was read¬mitted to the University, as Dick used to tell me in des¬peration. I don’t know what has become of the studentsince, I don’t know what he’s doing. The Chicago Journal¬ism Review did a story on all that police spying, and asyou will recall the Tribune printed my Red Squad filewhich had been collected by this agent. If that’s the ca¬libre of their agents, they’d better get some new agents.But the issues raised were very serious because theymean it is possible for dissenting people to be destroyed inthis way.And what the ibligations of the University are to itsfaculty when its faculty are being victimized by the politi¬cal-police or Red Squads and the like. One of these dayswe’re probably going to write an account of the Universityof Chicago sit-in from the point of view of Flacks andDixon and tell the kinds of things that really happened tothe people we know.But we all learned; in many ways we were very na¬ive, very trusting; because deep down at some level al¬most to the very end we were foolish enough to retainillusions about the University. We have none now, but wedid then.Then your work has left the university entirely for themovement?No, see, I work at McGill, McGill is a living symbol ofAmerican colonialism in Canada. It trains the English rul¬ing class, which is only 33 percent of the population ofQuebec. The rest of the population of Quebec are FrenchCanadians, and they are in the process of building a veryheavy revolution, a so-called separatist movement aboutwhich Americans are very ignorant. There’s a popularsaying in Canada that Canada is the coldest banana re¬public in the world.It’s rather nice to be in Canada. One gains a kind ofperspective on the United States and what colonialismmeans which it’s not possible to gain in any other way. Ofcourse my status in Canada is a very insecure one be¬cause I’m very notorious in Canada.There was an attempt on the part of the McGill boardof governors—which represents American capital interestsin Quebec and Canada, I might add—to stop my appoint¬ment. But there was a great hullaballoo in the newspapersand a great hullaballoo in the university and things hadgone too far to really stop the appointment without a greatdeal of trouble and outcry. They finally did approve theappointment, but they weren’t very happy about approv¬ing the appointment.So when I first went to Canada the only thing that Idid was to organize a women’s liberation movement—which is growing, coming right along — but I didn’t orga¬nize that on campus, I organized that off-campus. As amatter of fact, I did not in any way molest McGill Univer¬sity, as the left of McGill University had departed for the*French movement, leaving a certain vacuum in the politi¬cal life of the campus (laughter).The campus had just undergone a year of tremendousstruggle, had fired a professor named Stanley Gray whoContinued on Page EightThe “Problem” of Homosexuality'IBy Henry WeimhoffOne cannot like an aspect of oneself which one alwaystries to keep concealed.Albert Camus, CaligulaWITH THE CHALLENGE to traditionally accepted moresand values of our society increasingly endemic, a newvoice is heard, from the segment of the population labeled“homosexual.” Who are they, these homosexuals, andwhat do they want?'I submit that they are human beings with the abilitiesand potentials of any other human beings, with a sexualorientation different from the majority, but in essenceequally meaningful and valuable. Homosexuality is neitheran affliction to be cured, nor a weakness to be resisted, itis not less desirable for the homosexual than hetero¬sexuality is for the heterosexual. It is something aroundwhich the homosexual can and should build part of a re¬warding and productive life and something which he, orshe, can and should enjoy to its fullest, just as hetero¬sexuality is for the heterosexual.Why then does society persist in treating homosexualityas something less than acceptable? Currently the argu¬ment is that homosexuality is a “sickness,” a symptom ofa deeper personality disorder. However previous to wide¬spread public acceptance of psychoanalytic theory, homo¬sexuals were seen as criminals, threats to the state andthe established order of society, and before that as here¬tical sinners, blasphemers of the “natural” order estab¬lished by God and subject to appalling and barbarous per¬secution. What the designations of homosexuality as “sin¬ful,” “criminal,” or “pathological” have in common isneither fact nor logic, but rather a subjective negativeattitude — in short, prejudice.As the concept of sin is no longer fashionable and crim¬inal law on sexual matters is held in disrepute and largelyignored, we are left to contend with the new defense of theage-old prejudice, namely the “pathological” nature of ho¬mosexuality. And how is such a designation derived? Sincehomosexuals do not conform to social norms in spite ofgreat negative sanctions against homosexuality, they are“compulsive.” (A dirty word, the ultimate in psy¬choanalytic condemnation). As if one had to be com¬pulsive or otherwise pathological in order to persist inrefusing to subordinate his own individuality to social con¬formity. Would one propose to solve the problems of anti-Semitism by conversion of Jews to Christianity, much asthat might improve the life of many individual Jews?Next, we are confronted with the case histories of ho¬mosexuals under psychotherapy (virtually the only gaypeople psychotherapists get to see), “all of whom aresick." Yes, we reply, but God help the psychotherapistwho tries to understand heterosexuality only on the basisof his heterosexual patients. The same argument can bemade with reference to studies based on homosexuality inprisons, police records, court cases, etc. (of which thereare many more than enough): one cannot take biasedsamples and then claim to understand a phenomenon.Finally, and most importantly, most psychiatric re¬search starts with an implicit negative assumption withregard to homosexuality. It comes as no surprise to findthis assumption then made explicit in the conclusions ofsuch “research.” Irving Bieber, renowned psychoanalytic“authority” in the field actually states in his first chapter,in his book, Homosexuality, “All psychoanalytic theoriesassume that adult homosexuality is psychopathologic.”In fact the homosexual is not a psychiatric or medicalproblem but rather a sociological problem in entrenchedprejudice and discrimination, of which the “sickness” ar¬gument is merely the latest rationale. The problems of thegay person are the direct result of a relentless barrage ofassaults upon his self-esteem and his dignity, the resultsof which are manifested in damaged self-image, lack ofself-confidence, and unwillingness to come forward as ahomosexual in society. . Having disposed of the sickness fantasy, we are readyto demonstrate that homosexuals are simply another ofthe minority groups in our society, not different, as such,from religious, ethnic, racial, and other minorities.What makes for minority status in our society? First, adefining characteristic, either inborn (e. g. skin color orgender) or environmentally determined (as religion), alter¬able or unalterable, its origin or permanence not being ofimportance. Secondly, because of this defining character¬istic, but not as a logical consequence of it, the minority issubjected to adverse prejudice and discrimination.Thirdly, the minority is stereotyped, the result being de¬humanization of the members of the minority. Finally, asa consequence of the attitudes and actions of the majority,the minority is forced to internalize its feelings, devel¬oping a “we” and “they” mentality, ingroups, subcul¬tures, “ghettos.” The minority characteristic becomes thevery definition of the person, both in his own eyes and inthose of the majority. (There are few characteristics of aman which are of lesser importance than the color of hisskin. Yet the Black man is forced to identify himself firstas black and only later in terms of the truly significantand meaningful facets of his being. This, of course, is partof the human breakage caused by the minority condition.)Thus, the characteristics of many homosexuals, whichhave been cited as evidence of personality disorder, e.g. doubts and uncertainties as to personal worth, attitudes ofself-deprecation, a sense of inferiority and of undesirabil¬ity of the homosexual condition, are nothing more thanexamples of the damage to personality which accompanymembership in a minority and are products of the prej¬udice and pervasive negativism which confronts homo¬sexuals in Western society.What is the solution to the situation in which the gayperson finds himself? No more than any other oppressedminority in our society, can gay people expect liberationto come from the outside. They will have to take theinitiative, which in itself is a liberating experience. In factgay people have a positive contribution to make to oursociety.As in so many other areas (the “place” of blacks, or ofwomen in society), once again a minority has tne oppor¬tunity and responsibility to elucidate and challenge an op¬pressive culturally-defined role which restricts the poten¬tial of both the oppressed minority as well as that of themajority. American culture has long maintained a ster¬eotype of masculinity in which a man’s relationship towomen has been one of dominance and to other men oneof competition and the repression of affection. As MartinHoffman has so perceptively pointed out, “This repressionof tenderness between males is probably not unconnected,Continued on Page FiveFILMTopaz A Gem of a Movieshe will be tortured — “what they, will do to your body, tothis body.” The camera begins to track around them in acircle, moving slightly up and down, in a shot exactlyparallel to the famous 360 degree kiss in Vertigo, wherethe comera appears to be making a complete circle aroundthe embracing James Stewart and Kim Novak. But wherein Vertigo a backdrop of a previous scene is sneaked in andthe kiss completed, here both the movement of the cam¬era and that of the characters stop. Parra shoots Cordoba,sparing them both the horror of torture. Hitchcock movesby a series of three high-angle shots into an overheadview of Juanita sliding to the floor, her purple dressspreading like a blossoming flower, and Parra watching.In Vertigo the circling camera becomes symbolic ofthe power of memory (the backdrop) linked with the con¬summation of a romantic affair. In Topaz when Parrashoots Cordoba the romanticism is arrested before thecamera can complete half the circle. Memory is simplyabsent. Ricco Parra leaves the house and becomes tiny,insignificant. We never see him again. Parra thought him¬self important because of his position in the revolutionarygovernment. At the moment when his duties as govern¬ment figure clash with the romantic illusion, he discoversthat it was the illusion that gave his life meaning. At theonly time in their affair when he seems to truly possessJuanita he must destroy her and thus destroys himself aswell. When Rico Parra leaves the house and die picture heis an emotionally dead man.Parra echoes succinctly the film’s “hero” AndreDevereaux (Frederick Stafford). Stafford, a self-effacingactor, has come under heavy criticism for his portrayal.He has been accused of lacking luster, of being incapableof strong emotion, of being unable to hold his own amongother people in a scene. In effect, Stafford is in the sadposition of being accused as an actor for the faults of thecharacter he is portraying. For the story of Andre Deve¬reaux is the story of a man whose life dissolves and whodissolves along with it.WRITING ABOUT THIS PICTURE, I feel as if I am in aposition where I am repeating something that by nowshould no longer need repeating. If the auteurists havedone nothing else, they have established in the mind of aconsiderably large segment of the public the idea thatAlfred Hitchcock is a great artist and not merely a tech¬nician.Yet here we have Topaz and once more we are hear¬ing the tiresome nonsense that Hitchcock has lost histouch, that his last films were the superior ones. Review¬ing Lifeboat in 1944 James Agee wrote “Crocodile tearsover the alledged decline of Alfred Hitchcock have foryears been a favorite cocktail among those who take mov¬ing pictures seriously. That has always seemed to me animpatient and cheap attitude to take toward any kind ofchange, or disturbance, in the work of a good artist. Itstill does.” At the 3rd NY Film Festival (1965) PauleneKael, involved in a panel interview with Jean-Luc Godard,delivered a long polemic which concluded “M. Godard, Ican understand your liking Hitchcock’s films of the ’40bbut how can you like films such as Vertigo? Now we hearmourns for the good old Hitchcock of Vertigo and Mamie.Perhaps this perennial response is inevitible given anartist whose work divides so neatly into periods but whoseoff exploring a new avenue as soon as his previous stylehas gained widespread acceptance. Topaz is the secondfilm in what we may term Hitchcock’s “recent” period,the first being the exploratory, and ultimately unsatis¬factory Tom Curtain. What is most remarkable aboutTopaz is its extreme austerity. In this Hitchcock has per¬haps come closer to risk losing his popular audience thanat any time since 1949. At that time he directed UnderCapricorn, a romantic melodrama starring Ingrid Berg¬man. Audiences, who had come to link Hitchcock absolute¬ly to “suspense” films of one sort or the other, stayedaway in droves, and this very great work was locked in avault in the Chase Manhattan bank for twenty years.Since then, in order to insure financing, Hitchcock haspracticed an ethic which has basically boiled down to nev¬er compromising what he had to say but saying it withinthe form that the public had dictated. An unfortunate cor-rollary to this has been a growing contempt on the part ofHitchcock for his audience, a contempt that culminates inTom Curtain and that may be very responsible for thatpicture’s ultimate failure.In Topaz Hitchcock has, happily, forgotten the au¬dience almost entirely, the only concession being to castthe film in the very rough shape of a thriller. The onlyhigh suspense sequence in the film (a job of espionage)comes almost at the picture’s beginning. The romanticattachments are made quite evident, but their expressionis left for short moments, and even then the audience isnever allowed to become a participant for long.

However, when such material does occur it almostcertainly is transformed. The shape may be familiar butthe form is new. The most striking example of this occursat the end of the Cuba sequence. Rico Parra (John Ver¬non) has discovered that Juanita de Cordoba (Karin Dor)is a part of a French spy ring working against the revolu¬tion. He holds her in his arms, telling herself and him how Devereaux’s life seems to be falling apart from themoment he enters the picture.

In a shot that is re¬peated in several variations throughout, Nicole, his wife,(Dany Robin) is pulled out of focus and disappears up aset of stairs without as much as wishing him goodbye.Despite some highly erotic moments in Cuba, things doContinued on Page SevenCIVIC THEATRE * star.,jam.27Wacker Dr. at Washington 3 Weeks OnlyPhone: 372-4814"FANTASTICALLY FUNNY"—N.Y.

It began with a small group ofcollege students, gambling a lot of money they didn’thave, screwing up their winter quarter grades, workingtheir asses off. What they came up with was the firstattempt to bring to the urban audience the range, depth,and beauty of the American folk tradition in a settingwhere the traditional artists wouldn’t be swamped by hugecrowds and the presence of commercial performers whoseacts w^re tailored to the demands of the urban concertstage and audience.No one ever though the festival would keep going forten years, but it has, and still the surface has hardly beenscratched. The situation is still the same every year: stu¬dents and Hyde Park people giving up a lot, working hard,and being rewarded by making three beautiful days hap¬pen — days full of fun, excitement, music, people, andlearning. And its all happening again, this weekend at IdaNoyes and Mandel Hall.Some of the artists coming were at that first festivalten years back. Roscoe Holcomb, for one. That time wasthe first time he played at a concert. Since then he’s takenhis richly textured music all over America, at folk festi¬vals and clubs, and he’s even toured Europe. But thevision is still there, the vision stemming from the barerocks and wasted, ravaged land of the black coal countryof East Kentucky, where every piece of bread comes onlythrough bone-breaking work, and life is hard and lonelyand sad. Its music that stays in your head a long time.The New Lost City Ramblers were also at the first festi¬val, and 7 of the 8 others too. By now, hearing them isn’tlike watching a performance, but like sitting around whilesome old friends are kind of jamming. It’s a real goodfeeling; besides, more than any other group, the Ramblersshow the depth and variety of old-time country stringband music.Jean Carignan was at the first festival too — a breath¬taking fiddler from Canada. It’s corny to talk about wiz¬ardry, but there’s little else to describe the bravado withwhich he plays a wide variety of fiddle and dance tunesfrom French, Scotch, and Irish traditions. Long years of playing on Montreal streets for whatever he could gethave given him plenty of time to practice his art, and thefinished product is, in many ways, one of the high spots ofNorth American folk music.You can hear the fiddle, Lord, how it ring;You can hear it talk, you can hear it sing . . .Those lines actually aren’t about Jean Carignan, butabout Bill Monroe’s uncle, Penn Vannaver, from whomBill got a lot of his early musical education. It is in theold dance music that Jean plays so brilliantly that theroots of Bill Monroe’s creation, bluegrass, lies. It’s rare toget to hear a man who can really lay claim to havingfounded a style of music, but Bill Monroe is that kind ofman. One of the most respected musicians in the countrymusic field, he is in a class by himself as a mandolinist, agreat singer, and a superb composer. Anyone really inter¬ested in American music ought to hear Bill Monroe andhis famous Bluegrass Boys.The blues contingent at the festival is headed by BukkaWhite, one of the blues artists who have been “re-dis-covered” by people who set out in search for them aftergrooving on their old records. Of all these men, Bukka isperhaps the most forceful, the most dynamic. Life poursout of him when he sings, when he talks — he’s a greattalker when he moves, when he sits. Ask someone whosaw him a couple of years ago at the festival. They’llremember.From another part of blues tradition, we get John LeeGrandeson, John Wrencher and Carl Martin, on guitar,harp, and fiddle, who sort of play in the style of thetransitional generation of blues men, adapting the countryblues to the city environment. Their style isn’t heardmuch in the Chicago clubs anymore, although more andmore of the rock bands are being influenced by music ofthis type. This is a kind of blues music that has previouslybeen underrepresented at the Festival.Luther Allison plays the type of blues that’s popular inthe west side clubs these days, and he and his group arefirst class. With such outstanding musicians as these, thefestival gives an excellent opportunity to see three differ¬ent stylistic generations of bluesmen, and to learn what theblues is all about.Then there’s the Cook County Vocal Singing Con¬vention, a church group made up of old-time people fromthe South and West sides who are really into a musicalstyle that they call “vocal music”. Folklorists call this“shape-note singing” because in the song books the notesare printed in different shapes to represent the differentpitches on the scale. That might all sound sort of dry andtechnical and uninteresting, but the music that the Con¬vention makes is a kind of spirited polyphony that willcompletely involve you and lift you and make you feelvery good. Its some of the most exciting church musicyou’re likely to hear for a long time.There will also be a Cajun band from the bayous ofLouisiana — Dewey Balfa and his group. The happinessand excitement that these Franco-Americans with theirwild music generate has made this kind of music one ofthe most requested items at the festival. This year theyare bringing one of the most popular traditional groups inthe Cajun area to play here.There will also be some of the most American of allfolk music — drums, bells, chants and dances of the Chey¬enne and Ponca families of Indians led by Archie Black-owl and A1 Waters. This is the first time American Indianmusic has been on at the festival, and its certain to bevery interesting.And they’ve got Ike Everly, father of the famous Ever-ly Brothers and a legendary guitarist himself. He is oftenmentioned by Merle Travis and other leading country mu¬sicians as being an artist who influenced them a lot, buthe has not been recorded commercially and this is hisfirst major concert appearance. The concerts are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 8:15PM, tickets $2.50, $3.00, and $3.50, and Saturday afternoonat 3, tickets $2, students $1. There are free lectures andworkshops all day Saturday and Sunday, featuring thefestival performers, noted folklorists such as Archie Greenof the University of Illinois and Ralph Rinzler of theSmithsonian Institute, films on folk music and folk crafts,and jam sessions and folk dancing.

Fox described the politics of Z as“not very radical.” Perhaps he was looking at anothermovie. Z is a political film with a radical political message.It also has a frightening effect on the viewer because itsstory of a decaying society and the approach of facismis in many ways a description of the contemporary Ameri¬can society.For awhile I thought the director of Z might have beenliving in Chicago recently. There is a marked similaritybetween the assasination of the leftist political leader in Zand the murder of Fred Hampton. The autopsy conductedon the political leader in the movie provides one of thefirst inferences to people in the movie that the death wasnot “accidental” as the official police report claimed. Theresults of an independent autopsy provided evidence thatFred Hampton might have been murdered in his sleep bythe police raiders.There is also another interesting scene in the filmwhich occurs near the end. When the prosecutor (Jean-Louis Tritignant) reveals his findings to' his superiors, oneof the ministers suggests the following: Firstly that theindividuals who committed the murder itself should bebrought to trial. Secondly that the police should settle intheir own manner the disposition of cases of police mis¬conduct and inadequate performance of duty which oc¬curred when the police stood by during the confrontationbetween the demonstrators and counter-demonstratorswhen the assasination occurred. And finally, leaders of thedemonstrating group itself should be brought to trial forinciting the demonstration at which the assasination oc¬curred. Of course, those really responsible for the assasi-nation would not be brought to trial. Needless to say, thisplan has a striking resemblance to the pattern of in¬dictments, that came down for the “police riot” of August,1968 which resulted in the indictment of eight police offi¬cers and eight radicals.I later found out that the director had not been inChicago recently. Actually, the film was made in Algeria,CULTURE VULTURE—The VultureReminiscesWELL FOLKS, TOMORROW IS THE DAY. One year agotomorrow a lot of students decided they couldn’t stand thedorms anymore and decided to take up residence in thatbig grey monstrosisty, the Ad Building Hotel. The fareserved in the dining facilities was a pure gourmet’sdelight — oh those peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!Unfortunately after two weeks the hotel closed down. Thefunny thing about it is that sometimes I think I mighthave dreamed up staying at the fabulous resort since allmy fellow vacationers seem to have disappeared — espe¬cially two sociology teachers who came to visit us at ourvacation spot. Was this all a day dream? am I a WalterMitty? can anyone else remember spending any time atthe Ad Building Hotel?CAMPUSFilm one of the few countries where the film could receive thenecessary support from the government.The people and events in this movie are based on reallife. The movie is an account of the circumstances sur¬rounding the assasination of Gregory Lambrakis, a social¬ist member of the Greek parliament. A tie is also estab¬lished between the Lambrakis assasination and the mili¬tary coup d’etat of 1967, which occurred on the eve of anelection that probably would have resulted in a victory forLambrakis’ movement. However, the movie is not primar¬ily a chronicle of the events surrounding the Lambrakisassasination or a depiction of the political scene in Greecewhich resulted in the military coup. Only one aspect of theevents surrounding the assasination is focused on in themovie. This aspect is the investigation of the case by thestate prosecutor. The street demonstrations and otherevents which followed in the subsequent months hardlyare mentioned.The film is set in Greece, but several other countriesmight also qualify for the honor since Z is the story of asociety in which the political order is falling apart. Politi¬cal leaders of the left are assasinated in order to quashtheir movements and intimidate the people; the govern¬ment is shown to be increasingly corrupt; the system ofjustice becomes hollow and merely a tool of the govern¬ment; and the police become increasingly more brutal. Inthe movie the result of this is the inception of fascism.POTPOURRI It is impossible to say that while such things mighthappen in a country like Greece, they certainly nevercould occur in America. One only has to look at the repr¬ession of the Black Panther Party or the events at thethe movie could happen here. And in many ways they al¬ready have. Furthermore consider the fact that many anti¬junta Greeks hold the US government and/or the CIAresponsible in some ways for the coup. After the militarytakeover the US government did not view the Greek situ¬ation as one in which it was necessary to intervene inorder to preserve the democratic rights of the Greeppeople. Instead, it was necessary for us to resume militaryaid to the junta.As stated before, in his review Mr. Fox states that thepolitics of Z are “not very radical.” He justifies this bydescribing the non-militant politics of the leftist group inthe film and by stating the possibility of the film’s politi¬cal lesson being — “trust in the law for a man of integritywill always show up.” This is absurd.One of the most important moments in the film comeswhen you realize that the whole investigation by the prose¬cutor is irrelevant. The viewer has become very involvedin the investigation. While the prosecutor in the film isgroping for the truth, the viewer already knows what hap¬pened. Then comes a feeling of triumph. The police offi¬cers responsible for the crime are indicted in a semi¬comic scene.But this is not the end of the film. After this comes oneof the most important scenes in the film. One of the depu¬ties of the leftist party says to the widow of the victim(Irene Pappas) that they have won. The widow turns tohim and says that they have won nothing; nothing hasbeen changed. The investigation has not changed the polit¬ical structure of the government. The trial only results inheavy sentences for the actual perpetrators of the crime,who were mere pawns in the plot. The police officers arelet off fairly easily. After the trial is over and the left-wing party is on the verge of electoral victory, the mili¬tary takes over. Even the prosecutor is not immune fromthe fascist government. He is sentenced to prison. Themessage is clear — don’t trust in the laws to protect you,they offer no hope.There is another interpretation of the political lesson tobe gained from Z than the one Mr. Fox poses. Even whenit has victory in its grasp the movement is smashed, be¬cause it is not militant. The military government clearlyrecognizes who constitutes the major threat. They executethe left deputy who advocates militant action, while theleft deputy who advocates moderate policies is only im¬prisoned. The message is clear. If you place your reliancesolely on the laws, appeals through the proper channels,and electoral politics, the left movement can be smashedby the opposition even if it is seemingly on the verge oftriumph. On the other hand, if in a similar situation mili¬tant action is endorsed to insure your rights, then theoutcome might be quite different than the ending of Z.Charles J.

To be exact, itis the first anniversary of the death of the life of the mind.It is obvious the administration thinks it is dead. It isalready working on the life of the dormitories.So what has happened one year after the big sit-in (orthe second sit-in, to the older members of the commu¬nity)? Have any of the issues been resolved?While walking across the campus, a few things be¬come evident. First, every once in a while, a student maybe heard to mutter, “Rehire Marlene”. Secondly, thechanging shape of the university shows evidence of aburning conflict. The music building, Chaple House, and ahouse on the opposite corner disappeared overnight. Thereichstag building, on the southwest corner of 58th andUniversity, was burned down, although through a brilliantbrainwashing campaign the administration has convincedmost that the building never existed, but is in fact a newbuilding going up. The fourth story of Ida Noise vanishedduring daylight hours when nobody was watching.So it is obvious that nothing has been done, and thatthings are getting worse. Actions must be taken. A call toarms must be sounded. Something must be done to abuilding to bring to light a bunch of stuff.There has been some discussion as to what forms ofprotest would have the greatest chance of success, withleast loss of life. Several suggestions have been made.Arm students with shofars, and have them march arounda building for forty days and nights, or until it crumbles.Arm students with seltzer bottles and have them blast thewalls with it until the limestone dissolves. Although I do consider myself a crazed revolutionary,I feel that these actions at this time are too severe. It isn’trational to try to destroy those who differ in opinion fromyou, and will do everything they can to destroy you. Onemust reason first, and then destroy.But what ever happens should happen fast. Spurred bythe cold, strengthened by sulphor dioxide, students wantchange, and it isn’t coming. It’s being talked around, andfought against, but it isn’t being acted on.So a word of warning to the administrations, both Pres¬ident Levi’s and former Vice President Nixon’s. Despitethe obviously contemplative mood of the campus, don’tthink things are dead. Because those who want change aresincere, not faddists, and because change is necessary forfuture survival, and is not a whim.Anyway, while its cold, it’s a good time to negotiate.Nothing gets done when its cold, and things go too fastwhen its hot. So in Chicago, there is a period of about twoweeks when things might get done. That period is not faroff. and a groundwork should be laid. So students andadministerers (sic) should get together now, and air griev¬ances. The mood of the administration seems open, andreceptive. The mood of the student body is tense, butsemi-friendly. I would not be surprised if soon they willtry to make their feelings known. I would not be surprisedthat if on this Monday at 11:30 they will meet on the AdBuilding steps in a spontaneous gathering eager spirits todiscuss the way to right wrongs. (Tuesday at the sametime and location if the weather is inclement.)Frank Maibranche4/Grey City Journal/January 30, 1070music“Smiling Wine”with Ianand SylviaTHERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT GOOD, sweet countrymusic that makes you want to smile. After seeing theopening of Ian and Sylvia at Mister Kelly’s, 1028 N. Rush.Monday night, my cheeks were sore. Has wine ever causedyou to sit around with a groad grin on your face? That isthe same kind of smile that Ian and Sylvia evoked in me.Their music and the headiness of wine are both suchpleasant experiences that all you can do is sit back, smileand enjoy the pleasure of it.Ian and Sylvia are only known as early ’60s folk sing¬ers to' a lot of people. They were among the first Cana¬dians to make it big in the American folk market. Theysang harmonic, loving tunes that made them an integralpart of the folk scene. However, when the folk marketbegan to die, they altered their music and turned to theroots of their sound, country and western music, or “coun¬try and nothern” as Ian calls it. Their current music ismerely an extension of their early work and judging fromthe set at Mister Kelly’s, they are as tuneful and com¬petent today as they ever were.Ian and Sylvia are both expert songwriters. “SomedaySoon” from Judy Collins’ latest album is one of theirsongs. They have been musicians’ musicians rather thanpopular favorites, although they possess both the writingtalent and performing expertise to acquire both. Theirharmony is tightly knit and quite effective, especiallyPRACTICALLY NOTHING HAPPENS IN The Play ofRobin and Marion, but it was acted and sung admirably.With their production last weekend of this 13th centuryopera comique by Adam de la Halle (alias Adam le Bos-su), the Renaissance Players continue the high standardthey set themselves last year with their excellent perform¬ance of The Shoemaker’s Holiday.The evening opened with a recital of 13th century mu¬sic performed by the Collegium Musicum. This proved tobe a versatile demonstration of an unusual kind, with Mi¬riam Barkin, Dinah and Edward Stevenson playing as im¬pressive array of ancient-looking instruments, setting theatmosphere appropriately for what was to follow. Theirplaying and singing and Steven Crockett’s vocal accom¬paniment were beautifully and professionally done, givingthe impression that for them their weird instruments werenothing out of the ordinary. when Sylvia sings a bit more loudly than she usually does.Sylvia has an unusual voice. She sings in a low range,similar to Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, and her lownotes treble quite effectively. Ian plays the guitar ade¬quately and signs lead on most of their songs.At Mister Kelly’s they are appearing with a four manband, the Great Speckled Bird. The group, drums, bass,guitar and pedal steel guitar, backs up the singing well,dying out effectively when the vocals are most importantand coming through loudly and expertly during the in¬strumental sections. Especially good was the pedal steelguitar. It wavered and “sang” in its own way adding tothe harmony of Ian and Sylvia at some points. Togetherthey played some truly fine country music. They seem tobe following in the shoes of the Byrds, Poco and othercountry-rock groups, except when they try to switch overto rock music which did not succeed. Ian and Sylvia areThe choice of the play itself originated in a seminar inMedieval French studies, given in the Dept, of RomanceLanguages by Peter Dembowski. One of his students,Lawrie Dean, did an English rendering of Le Jeu de Robinet Marion as part of her course work (and got credit forit). She deserves praise for this noble effort, which workedout very well on the stage; her text was turned into versefor the performance by Dinah Stevenson. The idea of com¬bining a play production directly or indirectly with acourse seems excellent. It has recently been tried in de¬partments in the College, and one hopes this sort of thingwill be encouraged.The play tells the story of a medieval ton-up easyrider who doesn’t get his girl. His seductive overtures fallon Marion’s deaf ears, and she remains monotonouslyfaithful to her beloved Robin, rejecting the knight’s darkproposal of a ride on the back of his steed and a ‘previewof his medieval tapestry.’ Enter Robin. Informed by Mar¬ion of the knight’s flirtatious advances, he slips away toround up his buddies for help in case his wily rival shouldreappear. Enter knight to make another abortive pass atan unresponsive Marion. He exits not without beating thehell out of Robin for “maltreating his falcon.” The playends with a general pastoral frolic.The director, Annette Fern, and the players are to becongratulated for making full imaginative use of the limi¬tations of the Cloister Club hall for this performance. Theuse of several stage areas was a good idea and it workedquite well, though the lighting was not always adequate,but I imagine that this was due to the electrical facilitiesof the Hall. Judith Nelson (Marion) and Robert Heinrikson(Robin) deserve special mention for- their distinguishedperformances, and the whole cast showed that they hadbeen well rehearsed in the song and dance routine.Barbara Bernstein (Paulette) cut a shapely figure asthe buxom girl next door; Rick Lyons (Baldwin), JimMiller (Walter), and Ron McAdow (Howard) quite appro¬priately played their parts for laughs, (and got them),bringing out the rustic charm of the characters admirab¬ly. Donald Swanton’s Knight, suitably attired in a comicalcostume which came complete with prancing steed at¬tached, kept the audience amused with his hunting forbirds down by the river, as he put it (and not quite com¬ing up with a catch in the case of Marion).The translation preserved the naughty gaulois humourof the original, and the cast got all the earthy jokes acrosswith gusto. All in all, this production made for a highlyenjoyable evening’s entertainment.I look forward to the Renaissance Players’ next pre¬sentation.Michael Issacharoff folk singers; they should realize that they do not possessthe voices or instrumentation to play good rock music. Aslong as they stick to country and folk music, though, Ihave no complaint.Ian and Sylvia’s current batch of songs, most of whichare from their new album, are among the best countryrock tunes I have heard. “Smiling Wine” written by Syl¬via is the epitome of these songs. Vocally, instrumental^and lyrically it is far superior to anything that the bigcountry rock groups are dbing today, including the songsby Poco, Neil Young with Crazy Horse, Arlo Guthrie, andall the others. Just to prove how good Ian and Sylvia are,let me pose this question. When was the last time, yourparents or anyone of their age group sat backed, likedrock music in any of its forms and called the performersplaying it back for an encore or two? Well Ian and Sylviagave two encores at Mister Kelly’s and could have comeback again if they had wanted to. The audience was morethan willing.Mister Kelly’s audience is, however, a really negativeaspect of Ian and Sylvia’s show. Mister Kelly’s is Chi¬cago’s most famous nightclub and it attracts all the shoesalesman and Shriners in town for their annual con¬vention.Mister Kelly’s is not the usual type of place I wouldrecommend any University student go to. First, it is ex¬pensive. At the tables, there is a four dollar minimum perperson. Second, you will feel very conspicuous unless youare very, very straight. And third, Ian and Sylvia arepreceeded by a comic, who tells the usual middle-agedjokes. He discussed his wife’s checking account, crime,and sex. The audience loved him. But I do advise you togo to Mister Kelly’s because that is the only place thatyou will be able to see Ian and Sylvia. (One tip — if yousit at the bar and only order one drink, you only have aminimum of two dollars and you can see the stage as wellas anyone in the entire place.)

The fear and panic many heterosexuals ex¬perience at the thought of sexual relations with membersof their own sex has its analogue in the fear many gaypeople feel when personally confronted sexually with theopposite sex.As the new-born infant is psycho-sexually neutral, en¬dowed with the potential of associating any object or situ¬ation with its physical gratification, the meaningful ques¬tion is not “How are individuals assigned their sexualorientation?” but rather “How is the individual’s potentialfor sexual relationship with others, of both sexes restrict¬ed and narrowed?” for surely the real issue is the openingof possibilities of relating between humans.The gay contribution to society at this point in time,then, can take the form of a radical re-evaluation of thenature of human relations, freeing us from the restrictivecultural categories of “masculine” and “feminine,” andallowing deeper and more meaningful relationships be¬tween human beings regardless of sex.January 30, 1970/Grey City Journal/5THEATRERobin - A Ribald MusicalTHEATREEndgame: There’s Hope for Chicago TheatreA NEW THEATRE GROUP, calling itself the “ChicagoRepertory Company,” is now installed in the PlayhouseTheatre at 315 W. North Ave., a few blocks west of WellsSt. in Old Town. Their first offering, to run through themiddle of February, is Endgame, a long one-act play bySamuel Beckett, who, as everyone knows by now, wasrecently awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.The director, Arnold Giedraitis, is Lithuanian-born,thirty-ish, imaginative and experimental, and hopeful. Hehas worked with La Mama in New York, knows that scenewell, and has had considerable experience in acting, di¬recting, light and set design. He expects the theater tooperate for four years (that’s the length of the lease) nomatter what happens, for since the actors have beenworking without pay, the gate take should be enough tocover rent, properties, utilities, and all the other dreadfulnecessities that so often snuff out the good will, honesty,and artistic integrity of beginning theatre enterprises. Herefuses to accept corporation grants, government subsidy(hah!), or any other outside help with attached strings. Ifthere are enough people in this vast metropolis who wantserious, independent, off-Broadway-type theatre, it willsurvive. If not, the town doesn’t deserve it. Perhaps the“Second City complex” is too deep.We’ve been disappointed in the past. But there is rea¬son to share Giedraitis’ hope. The theatre isn’t a dump,but a renovated former restaurant (I’m not sure of this)split in two: you come into a room with a bar at the farend and candle-topped tables around, where you can sitbefore and after the show and drink free coffee and argueabout what it all means. On the other side of the wall isthe theatre, which has its audience-seats on rising tiers soeveryone can see, a modest carpet on the floor, a raisedstage, and adequate stage lighting. The cast and staffwork for free, so you know they’re all right. And althoughtheir amateur status comes through once in a while, thereare no incompetents, and there is nothing in their End¬game that will make you wince. In fact, Kevem Cam¬eron, who plays Hamm, gives a superlative, thoroughly“professional” performance, and to see him is alone worththe trip and the two bucks charge.It may be an irony to begin your revels with End¬game, but if you ask where de we go from here, it is bestto know where “here” is. For this, we have no better seer SAMUEL BECKETT’SPLAYEND G AjlfKIN DE PARTI F * "m AI PLAY HOUSE THEATREI 315 WEST NORTH AVE. CHICACiO.

Beckett’s attemptsto “find a form to accommodate the mess,” although theyare becoming increasingly minimal and abstract, reach acertain poignant closure in this play. It’s a fine game forU. C. types, with references to Zeno’s question about mil¬let grains (“Which kernel of grain by being added makesthe heap?”); Shakespeare’s Tempest (“Our revels noware ended.” Hammas Prospero? Joyce??); and of course, chess: the title, the problem of the endgame, the desire toend and the fear of doing so, Hamm (“Me — to plav”)seated, unable to stand, playing with Clov the pawn bothneeding each other, hating each other. What do you do ina bomb-shelter? (This was written in the fifties: remem¬ber that time when the thought of everybody living under¬ground was actually thinkable?) Why, you play gameslike chess, you put your legless progenitors in ash-cans’parcel out rations rationally, get up on a ladder and lookthrough the little windows at the blasted world beyondlook for signs of life, wonder whether it would be a goodidea to start the whole bloody mess over again, wonderwhether, when the game is over, it’s worth it to startanother.Well, the director says he’s not interested in theseobservations and speculations, and well he shouldn’t beHe sees the play Ss “an actor’s play,” and tries to empha¬size “the abusrd” as a theatrical, not a metaphysical,proposition. Thus the audience gets a few yaks that mayhave been intended by Beckett to be slightly painfulsmiles (“It’s like the funny story we have heard too often;we still find it funny, but we don’t laugh any more,” saysNell). This helps make the play less depressing, morerisible. It is a valid interpretation, though not the one Iwould favor. (Why directors don’t do precisely what Beck¬ett tells them to do is beyond me.)The set is interesting: ripped-up newspaper coveringthe stage, plastic drops (“I love plastic,” says Giedraitis),Varese-style electronic music at beginning and end; butyou know their budget is limited.So there it is. See it. Look forward to their next offer¬ing: Slawmior Mrozek’s Police, a new play from the au¬thor of Tango; it will be the Chicago premiere, and isabout a police state. “Appropriate enough,” I said to Gie¬draitis. “Hah,” he retorted, “Americans don’t know whata police state is, no matter what has happened.” Ithought, “Where in hell is Lithuania?” I said, “Well, trueenough,” assenting to his authority.Performances are at 8:30 p.m., Fridays, Saturdays,and Sundays. Police will open February 27. For informa¬tion call 751-9643, and on weekdays, 778-4240.John R. Holt20% STUDENT DISCOUNTLAST THREE WEEKS!May I have aFrench winewith TurkishTalash Kebab?

In the end, it is he whodisappears out of focus leaving Juanita in the foreground,knowing she will be killed, crying for a man who hasbecome a shadowy part of the background. Forced to re¬turn to Paris, he exposes a spy ring among his col-legues,only to discover that it is being run by an old friendof his, and that this friend and his wife have heen havingan affair. For the last five minutes of the film we do notsee Andre Devereaux. Instead we see the conference thathas taken place as a result of his actions, and the suicideof the friend, Granville (Michel Piccoli) as a response tothe exposure. Like Rico Parra, Andre Devereaux has dis¬appeared, leaving behind only the consequences of his ac¬tions. Topaz is the first film Hitchcock has made in Americawhich centers around professional spies, and this deviationis of no little importance in understanding the film. Every¬thing in the film that contributes to the destruction ofDeveraux’s life — the loss of his wife, the deaths of Gran¬ville, and Juantia de Cordoba — stem from his profes¬sional life. Even his friendship with Nordstrom (which ineffect started the cycle of specific events) was an out¬growth of professionalism.Unlike Hawks, who has devoted a good deal of his lifeto developing and celebrating the professional ethic, Hitch¬cock condemns the ethic itself. Where Hawks celebratesfriendship among men stemming from mutual professionalrespect, Hitchcock celebrates relations between men andwomen stemming from passion. Both men see as the basisof that ethic the idea that one does one’s job and does itwell.Hitchcock, who has never been freed from his Jesuiteducation, must condemn the ethic because there is noplace in it for guilt or suffering. We see the suffering ofthe women in Topaz but we never see the suffering of themen, because being professionals they cannot feel guilt fortheir actions in terms of their lives. Devereaux walksaround being sad and at the end he disappears, but he hasnever become enobled because he has never suffered, hasnever felt the moral weight of what he has done. To feelthis weight, to understand his actions in terms of somemoral system, would be to give his life meaning. AgainVertigo serves as an illustrative reference. Stewart at theend of the picture has lost the illusion, much as Parra andDevereaux. But unlike these two, he has felt guilt, suf¬fered, and come to understand this suffering. In effect,Stewart is free at the end of Vertigo. Having missed theessential experience of confronting their actions, thepeople of Topaz are never freed. Tbey disappear, home¬less wanderers in the universe.Topaz is now playing at the Chicago Theatre.T.C. Fox Wasn’t It?Andy Warhol’s Lonesome Cowboys started last weekhere in Chicago.

What’s really new about theWeathermen, among other things, is that they turned tostreet fighting as a way of expressing not just outrage, buta total rejection of their original identities as uppermiddle class white youth. That’s where the moral impulsecomes.My own approach to radicalism is to say when youhave this moral impulse at yourself, you’ve got to figureout a way of channeling that into rational action. And mysense of the Weathermen is that they’ve almost rejectedthe notion of -a rational course of action; and the thingthat distresses me most about them is that they’re givingup the notion that the white people of this country deserveto be liberated and can liberate themselves. That, I think,is the thing I disagree with them most on.You don’t think they mil be successful in their stragety?I don’t know how a successful Weatherman strategywould look. Presumably the successful outcome of whatthey argue for is the substantial guerrilla army amongwhite young people, and I’m not sure one does that byfighting in the streets and going to jail. So if that’s themeasure of their success, the creation of a guerrilla forceamong whites, I’m not sure the way they’re doing it is theway it should be done, but that’s not what I’m about, so Ican’t comment on the approach very well and the methodsto achieve that particular end.As you know, recently 13 students were suspended forparticipating in a militant picket line outside Hutch Com¬mons, as they were demanding free meals for workers inthe cafeterias. What do you feel this indicates about theUniversity’s relation with students?As I felt last spring, this is an indication that thefaculty responsible for this kind of discipline procedurehave neither an understanding of students’ concerns norany particular desire to permit real change in relation¬ships between students and faculty. To have that kind 05disciplinary practice is to say, you know, ‘Your interestsare beneath our concerns entirely. We intend to run theUniversity without any concern for you.’ And my sensefrom a great distance, just reading the Maroon, is that thecampus seems low in spirits. I don’t know if that’s true.There seems to be no more SDS on campus.Well, if the administration wishes to destroy the stu¬dent left or the activism on the campus, I think they’vefound the key to doing so at least for the time being. Butthat is not a worthy goal for a University.Do you think the University will eventually have to changetheir strategy, say, if black students had a sit-in? way the problem’s going to be solved in Chicago, wheregood teachers will get tenure in the College, and not gettenure in their department, that may not be a solution atthis point, unless there are a lot of people ready to comeand just be undergraduate teachers.Do you think cases of faculty members who are up fortenure or re-appointment should be public. or should in¬structors have the right to privacy, which the adminis¬tration says is the reason the names are not divulged?I think there should be public review of faculty mem¬bers’ performance, that this should not be left up to smallgroups of senior faculty who operate in secrecy, and par¬ticularly student evaluations. There are formats for mak¬ing those things generally known, some of which may beoffensive to some faculty, others of which may not be, butone method that’s used in a lot of places is a studenthandbook which rates the teachers and reviews the facul¬ty. I’ve always thought Chicago needed that.Further, I am personally of the view that studentsshould have direct voice in hiring and firing of faculty.There are a great variety of mechanisms which do that,which don’t necessarily mean that all students vote on thesame committees as the faculty. There are some reasonsto object to that, but there are other mechanisms that areIt seems to me it would be harder to apply the dis¬ciplinary procedure to black students, but maybe I’m un¬derestimating the callousness of the Chicago faculty.There have been some changes in the past year con¬cerning tenure decisions and students’ roles in them, mostnotably through evaluations which are distributed to stu¬dents whose opinions about individual teachers are thenstudied by a student advisory committee which presentstheir results to the dean. The decision on tenure is thenannounced to the council, but not to students. Do you feelthis degree of involvement will neutralize students de¬mands in this area, if students see their opinions reflectedin the decisions?I'm sure this would have to happen, because therereally is a lot of lousy teaching, and very many goodteachers, especially those who devote themselves to under¬graduate teaching, have not been able to get tenure in alot of universities, and Chicago is a prime case. And ifthere’s any intention of maintaining undergraduate educa¬tion, there must be an intention to reward good teaching.One obvious by-product of this is that if there are goodteachers, maybe there’ll be less unrest.On the other hand, take my particular situation atChicago. The end result of my case, if you want to call ittoot, is that I was given tenure in the College, presumablylargely on the basis of teaching evaluations. But I was notg‘ven tenure in the department, and some people may findthat satisfactory; I did not find that satisfactory and I’mn t snrp that manv voun? people could get tenure in regu-departments elsewhere. I wouldn’t want to stay inChicago with tenure only in the College, because tenure ind'e College seems to mean that you have limited or noaccess to graduate students. It means somewhat less free¬dom to give the kinds of courses that would be appro¬priate for graduate level. It means having less voice in>our own discipline. You’re sort of cut off from your owndiscipline. And a variety of other things. So if that’s the equally effective. But in principle, I’m for both publicreview of faculty members’ performances and studentparticipation.As for the issue of privacy, it’s one of the issues thatcuts closest to the student-faculty disagreement. I mean,the fact is that anyone who loses his job-and thinks he’sbeen cheated will want public review. If he thinks he’sbeen fairly treated, it’s obviously not in his interest tohave these things made public, although it’s certainly inyour interest to have plenty of advance evaluation fromyour colleagues and student evaluations several years inadvance of the final decision, and this is not typically,done. I don’t know if students are aware of the fact that afaculty member reaches a time when he’s being consid¬ered and usually he’s in the dark about what his col¬leagues think of him. But I could see that most people whodon’t get tenure want privacy because they agree with thedecision, and they don’t want negative information spreadabout for very good reasons.But that isn’t the reason for confidentiality that thedepartments really have, because they refuse to makethings public when a guy requests it. They want to protecttheir right to make what amounts to arbitrary, self-serving decisions or particularistic decisions, that is, deci¬sions made on the basis of someone’s personal character.These have nothing to do with professional qualifications.They want to protect that right against public scrutiny.They don’t want to be held accountable for these deci¬sions. And I know that’s one of the major reasons formaintaining confidentiality. The departments feel thatthey have the right to make the decisions on any groundsand not be open to scrutiny. And those grounds very typi¬cally include personality factors, that have nothing to dowith confidence. And often they include grounds that aredirectly opposed to this, that is, the guy here who’s beingfired is a very typical example of the faculty not likinghim because he’s too close to students, too oriented to¬wards the student culture. He doesn’t have the style of anacademic, as they define that style. That’s probably amajor factor in the decision to terminate him. You can'thave a public review and have that kind of criterion forgetting rid of a guy, but it’s just the kind of criterion thatthe senior faculty would like to preserve. That’s why theywant confidentiality.To return to the political situation in California, thereseems to be a good deal of backlash against the univer¬sities for student protest there. Do you feel there will bemuch damage done to them, take for example the furorover the Angela Davis case?Well, close-up it looks more ambiguous than it looksContinued on Page NineTHE SIT-IN: Flacks discusses the sit-in issues with students during the crisis.January 30,‘ WO/ Sit-in' Supplement/7Marlene Discusses Movements FutureContinued from Page Sixhad wanted to open up McGill University for the Frenchstudents, and after they fired him he engineered a demon¬stration called operation McGill in which some 10,000French students marched upon the university and thearmy was called in to defend it...That’s when you really understand where a universityis: when it has to be defended by an army against thepeople, then you understand what a university is — youunderstand what Berkeley is, what Colombia is, and whatChicago is.The hue and cry was “You just got rid of one StanleyGray, and now you’re hiring another Stanley Gray.” None¬theless I did not molest them, didn’t do my radicalthing there at all, went to work at making the revolutionat home, traveling a lot, which they objected to, I thoughtit was very foolish of them to object because it meant thatthey were not being molested by yours truly.However, unfortunately, the only reason I got a job atMcGill was because in the course of this conflict I’m de¬scribing, Stanley Gray, the political science students occu¬pied the fourth floor of the Leacock Building, and on theseventh floor of the Leacock building is the sociology de¬partment.So in order to stop the sociology students from joiningwith their comrades on the fourth floor by occupying theseventh floor, the faculty created what was called thesociology caucus, which meant that there were 14 studentrepresentatives and the faculty, and they would come to¬gether to reach concensual decisions about the governanceof the department. That caucus was the most manipula¬tive thing you ever saw, and the only thing the studentsgot, and that took them months and months and months,was me.So those students came to me and said, “Listen, Mar¬lene, you’re making the revolution in the United States,but we just about killed ourselves getting you up here andyou’re not doing anything for us.”And I said “You’re right,” and I engaged jn self-criticism, and decided that in fact I owed my base in theuniversity — I didn’t want to call it a job, living off the fatof the hog, so to speak — to them. I began in a verymodest way to work with them, which meant that all of asudden they started block-voting, and getting very hardabout what they wanted.The faculty was not honest in the beginning, thecaucus was a manipulation, was a way to avoid a studentstrike, sheerest tokenism. But the students, with their per¬petual naivete, their perpetual freshness, always trust thefaculty and they trust the faculty way too far. It took thestudents quite a while to realize, to use an expression,they had been had.Well, the upshot of it was that the faculty decidedunilaterally to dissolve the caucus. In other words, whatthey said was “All right, kiddies, it’s a little bit too muchtrouble, this democracy stuff, so the revolution is over andit’s back into the fields for you people.”Needless to say, I opposed that faculty decision andtold the faculty quite frankly that I thought that that wasnot a good thing for the faculty to do and that I wouldwork with the students.But they thought that the students were paper tigers,students had no base, as power, that they had effectivelydestroyed the left on the McGill campus. Well, that wassome three weeks ago and we ngw have about 300 kids.And we have about 25 who meet three times a week forinternal political education, who understand that we’rebuilding a radical base, a critical sociology, opposing thefaculty’s decision to unilaterally coopt the revolution.We are not involved in a student power struggle. Iwould not go through that again, because I don’t thinkthat student power per se is what our struggle is about.We don’t want, you see, to encourage the students to par¬ticipate in a system which should be abolished—that is tosay, the university as it now exists.They’re developing very rapidly a sophisticated under¬standing of what one really does in a university. And weare in effect rebuilding the left on McGill’s campus. But Idid not start that. The faculty atrocity gave me no choicebut to do what I had to do which was my radical thing.So I don’t know how long I’ll be at McGill. It alldepends on the stubbornness and intransigence of the fac¬ulty. They made a very grave error. The question iswhether they can recognize that they have made an errorand rectify that error.Some question if students will now want to go back onthe caucus in any event, because they were just draggingaround, they were so alienated, they were not able tofinish their papers — you know, standard concentrationcamp atmosphere, right? Now, they’re reading furiously,they’re doing critical sociology, they’re remobilizing stu¬dents within the classes, they’re asking the professors cer¬tain highly relevant questions in classes where they’veorganized, they’re cranking mimeograph machines anddeveloping political positions, attending seminars in criti¬cal sociology, they’re all alive and their eyes sparkle. AndI’m much happier because we’re all doing a creativething, developing it and working together. This is alwaystrue: the most significant learning I’ve ever seen happenat the university has been during the sit-in (laughter),which is true at Columbia too and Berkeley too and Chi¬cago.8/Sit-in 30, 1970Wl Quintin SpongeTHIS FALL: Marlene at Women's hearings.It was a pity that the Chicago students couldn’t gofurther than they did when they were in the building. Ithad to do with the kind of debate of the Progressive Laborparty and all those kinds of things, and I don’t feel likegoing into that.Then Levi probably did the most effective thing hecould to keep down the movement last year; perhaps heunderstood how it grew, and played it down by ignoringit?No, you should not understand it that way, I don’tthink. Had the police been brought to the campus, whichcertain of the more bloodthirsty senior faculty on thecampus seemed to be very willing to do, it would havemobilized the younger one-third of the faculty and prob¬ably the rest of the students — if you remember, as I’msure you do, the polls; in terms of student support theywere running very high. The only reason he didn’t call thepolice is because he understood that would escalate themovement.By leaving the students in the building he understoodvery clearly one thing. Now we understand it, you see, sowe would never be so foolish in our revolutionary tacticsas to occupy an administration building — there are farmore effective tactics that we now employ. So it isn’t MrLevi who learned, we learned as well.But what he knew was that students had little re¬sources and he had all the resources, so that he couldsimply sit and wait while they got sick and hungry andexhausted. There were three waves of sickness in thatbuilding, you remember? People got vitamin deficiencyfrom living on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches whenthey could eat, and they didn’t sleep, because they wereup learning and talking and debating and running theirinsurrection. They never slept enough, so the health condi¬tions were really poor. And they were also very gentle, Imean, compared to other student insurrections, wherethere are all kinds of interesting files to be read andinteresting information about the machinations of the eliteof new Rome. They were very gentle and didn’t do that atall. So what he understood is that he could starve themout. Now that in its way is far more brutal and calculatingand ruthless than simply calling the police and draggingthem off to jail. You don’t eat too well in jail, but you eat.It was clearly an effective tactic. But you see youdon’t really engage in struggles always to win them. InDavid TravisA POSED SHOT: Marlene sets herself for newsmen. other words one often engages in a struggle knowing thatyou are going to lose. You see, for me, personally, I knewthat I would lose, that was the end of a professional ca¬reer. I knew that. I had come to terms with that, I waseven happy about that. I felt very liberated, the mostliberating experience of my life. In other words, I didn’thave to make the hard decision to get out that so manypeople are facing now. That was done for me—and whata way to go out!We don’t always struggle to win immediate goals be¬cause we understand that they can’t always be won. Inother words, I understood that students might gain some¬thing, but they sure as the devil were never going to getme. I knew that. But because it’s important to demon¬strate to people what the nature of the monster is, it isimportant to radicalize people, it is important to bringpeople into the movement, it is important that people un¬derstand what the nature of the world really is.Sometimes the only way you can come to that under¬standing is through that kind of struggle. It’s what I saidbefore, I’ll just say it again in this context: really theUniversity lost, because in a sense it destroyed its ownspirit, what was left of its own spirit, and made a veryrepressive and oppressive community. So it lost — I thinkit lost more than anyone lost.We didn’t lose. Perhaps the students lost who were notpart of the struggle and who were not expelled. Theirspirits are broken temporarily, and they feel apatheticand they feel that you can’t win. They’ll get over that, Ithink, but in that sense those students lost. But the move¬ment always wins, and in that sense we won. We alwayswin; we will win. The revolution will come, maybe nottomorrow, but it will come.One movement that has emerged in a striking way inthe last year is the women’s movement. When WRAP firstraised the demand that 51 percent of the faculty be wom¬en, few people even in the building could take it seriously;but an awareness of the oppression of women has beengrowing.There’s no question of that. I’ve been traveling as anational organizer, you know, free floating, we don’t haveany structure in the women’s movement, we just groovealong. We have to build structure, right now we’re justgrooving along.It was primarily the woman’s movement thatbrought you on this Midwestern tour of Antioch, Univer¬sity of Kentucky, Case Western Reserve?Yes, well I give lectures at universities, meet withwomen, offer lectures on women — you know, it’s moreliving off the fat of the hog. But the movement is growingwith great speed, it’s growing by leaps and by bounds andspringing up everywhere; it’s now in every major city inNorth America.It is in many ways a very immature movement, it is amovement whose politics are still developing. My primaryinterest in the women’s movement is of course in theoppression of women, but it is also to build a very stronganti-imperialist, anti-racist base for a revolutionary wom¬en’s movement, no, not just for opportunistic use.If women are to understand their oppression correctly,if they understand themselves as a colonized people, thenthat movement will be a revolutionary movement, and itwill understand what is really required for the liberationof women. What is required for the liberation of women isnot that they have equal rights to oppress other peopleThe Women’s Radical Action Project action in the adbuilding was one of the first of the women’s caucuses, andthe women’s movement was quite immature in those days.They made demands at that time that they do not makenow because we have developed and we have becomepolitically much more sophisticated.They would no longer ask for 51 percent of the facultyto be women, because they understand that they don’twant to increase the privileges of the faculty or theirprivileges in the University. They either want to open theuniversity up or shut the university down or they want toabolish the faculty. This is what they understand, and thisis the great transformation that is now going on in the iwomen’s movement.Now perhaps the bulk of the women’s movement willremain left-wing or liberal, but there will be a significantproportion of that movement that will be a revolutionarymovement and will be able to engage significantly in thestruggle in this country and the struggle in the world.Then ultimately you believe that women’s liberation (cannot be separated from Marxist theory?I deal with a living theory that helps us understandhow to make revolutions. That’s what Marxism is. I don tbelieve that people are ever liberated by becoming anoppressor. I’ll give you an example, and say once againthat it’s very good to live in Canada, because one has tounderstand if one lives in Canada, and particularly inFrench Canada, in Quebec, that if the American womenwere to improve their position here—even if the workingclass women in the United States were to improve theirContinued on Page TenFlacks Feels Less Hostility Than In ChicagoContinued from Page Sevenfrom a distance. From a distance it looks like GovernorReagan is a reactionary and the regents are reactionarieswho are out to greatly weaken our public higher educa¬tion. And in a sense that is basically correct, but there area number of other complexities in the matter which aremore important. That is, on the one hand, it seems thatpublic opinion doesn’t like Communists teaching at theuniversity, doesn’t like student protest. But on the otherhand, for example, Reagan is interested in having tuitionat this University, which has a long tradition of free high¬er education. Well, the labor movement is opposed to this.All minority groups are opposed to it. A large number ofthe students are adamantly opposed to it. Large numbersof other people are opposed to it.What I’m trying to get at is that Reagan’s policies,which play on popular fear against acts of dissidence onthe campus on the one hand, but which also do things likeraising tuition and cutting back all kinds of services in thehigher education and weakening it, contradict each otherin terms of popular support, that is, the people want agood education system, a free public higher education sys¬tem They don’t want that weakened, and it’s not as clearas it seems from a distance that Reagan can have his wayon every matter that he wants.Now there’s the beginnings of a trade-union movementamong college and university faculty out here, and I don’tknow how far that will go, but it’s a sign of hitherto ratherweak constituency of the faculty. It’s beginning to getorganized and have a little political muscle. Generally, it’sthat Reagan desires to have his way on everything andthis can’t always be fulfilled, as in the Angela Davis mat¬ter. I doubt strongly that the attack on higher institutionswhich he is making, he will actually be unable to do.The Universities will be able to withstand this only ifthey are able to win popular support for their basic func¬tion, which is to educate, and there’s no reason why theyshouldn’t have that support since California has achievedmore than any other state in terms of the numbers ofyouths who have been able to go to college at low cost.And that is the great achievement that I sense mostpeople of California are very proud of. The budget hasbeen severely cut, faculty salaries are steadily becomingless competitive. There are all these familiar worrieswhich the faculty have. But I personally don’t get tooexcited about them. I think a lot of these threats will notmaterialize. Some of the budget cutting was desirable, asthe university deserves to have a re-examination of thefunds it’s using for educating students. Pressure on itsbudget is actually helpful in getting people to re-considerwhat the social role of the University is.You spoke of Santa Barbara as a place with an infinitelymore free atmosphere than Chicago. What differences arethere with the sociology departments in both places?There is not the hostility felt towards me here thatthere was in Chicago. On the contrary it’s a very youngsociology department with a number of faculty who’s in¬terested in what’s coming to be known as ‘radical sociolo¬gy' plus a larger number of faculty who are anti-war and who are in political agreement on a number of other is¬sues. It isn’t just that there is political agreement amongfaculty members, the crucial thing is that there’s thisgeneral atmosphere of mutuality among the members ofthe department rather than competitiveness. There are nofederal barons trying to run little research empires andcompeting with each other with driving ambitions to be atthe top of their professions. This is a much more coopera¬tive department, much more oriented towards genuineconcerns with problems of education.What is the nature of the research you have been doingsince last spring?I have been writing articles on student protest toround out work that I started at Chicago, and I’m writingat the moment a short paper on the political economy ofhigher education in California. I still do intend to have abook on the subject of student protest, however. But I’m also now working on a social psych reader which I’mquite excited about, and I’ve been talking with somtfpeople here about doing a study of the media’s war inVietnam, the relationship between the media’s reportingand the public’s information about the war.Speaking of the war, how successful do you feel the mora-toria of last October and November will prove in endingthe war? Does it seem to you that Nixon has succeeded inmobilizing the “Silent Majority” behind his policy andthat anti-war demonstrations will do more harm thangood?I was very impressed with the moratorium, the firstone, because we had a demonstration out here, somethinglike 4000 people, mostly students, and it was by far thebiggest thing that has ever happened in this particulartown, and that was true throughout California, I know thatplaces that had not had significant protests against thewar really had them on that particular day.But what has happened, what was obviously going tohappen with the moratorium, is that the moratoriumpeople would see very quickly that it would not have aneffect on the policy, and that it’s very hard now for theanti-war leadership to organize the anti-war leadership tosee what their next move is going to be, not so much inthat the silent majority is mobilized, but that Nixon seemsto have persuaded both ordinary people and certain opin¬ion leaders and Congressmen that he is actually dis¬engaging Vietnam and should be given a chance to provehis policy.Since I am convinced that disengagement is the fur¬thest thing from his mind, I think it will take a fewmonths before people are aware of that, but when theyare, God knows what will happen. We’ll see new possi¬bilities of protest. The other thing which has not beenmuch discussed is what the Vietnamese, the NLF and theNorth Vietnamese will do. I am sure they are trying todevise a counter-strategy to make the American peopleaware of the fact that Nixon cannot disengage, that theyhave been creative in the past in such couniter-strategies,I have every confidence that they will come up with some¬thing that will have an effect, but it will take severalmonths for that to develop.What direction will the anti-war movement take beforethis will come about? For example, should people work forpeace candidates for Congress in the upcoming electionsor what?Well, I think that’s something that should be done, butI certainly don’t think that’s the main strategy for endingthe war; the main strategy that has worked up to now inachieving some sort of de-escalation, in achieving John¬son’s decision to halt the bombing and to remove himselffrom the Presidency, is clearly to raise the political costsat home of prosecuting the war. And that means notmerely working in electoral campaigns, but making theleadership of the country aware they can’t survive a con¬tinuation of the war policies.'XON CRISIS SCENES: The "Art of Live With" Ad building program, Richard Flacks on the faculty vigil line and the new sign to the Ad building.January 30, 1970/Sit •in Supplement/9 ■>jDixon on Womens Liberation and MarxContinued from Page Eightposition here and they were to stop at that point—theywould improve their position at the expense of all the menand women of Quebec. Because the men and women ofQuebec worked at lower wages when they worked, andpay higher prices for things, because the wealth is drainedoff to go back to the United States, the mother country. Itis a colony. So of what value is it for me to work inCanada for the improvement of the position of women inthe United States if I know that the oppression of womenis in Canada, in Latin America, in Asia, in Africa, in allthe limbs of the monster, in all the countries and lands ofthe empire? So one becomes an internationalist.It’s theoretically clear to many people in this countrythat they are opposing an international ruling class, if youlike, a ruling elite or monopoly capital, whatever you wantto call it. That elite is international — they realize thatthey must be international. But living in Canada perhaps Ican understand that in an even clearer way because I cansee what it does, I see what America does to her colonies,what colonization does to the people, and every day I seeit. And Quebec is one of the most, besides being a centerof international intrigue, it is one of the most politicallyvibrant cities in the world to be in. If there’s anywhere Ihad to go, I’m so happy it was Montreal. I now have twocities I love above all others, and they’re San Francisco-Berkeley and Montreal. Montreal is wonderful.So it is in this kind of context that the maturing of theradical women’s liberation should be understood. It is ma¬turing, and we’ll probably publish another article. TheRamparts article which stated the economic oppression ofwomen in the US was only one; altogether I’ll probably\vrite four articles. The next one I want to write, which Ihope will be finished soon, will be an analysis of the con¬sequences of imperialism on the status of women in theUS and in the world, in order that women clearly under¬stand their relationship to imperialism and their relation¬ship to women in other parts of the American empire.Then there will be one on the politics of the movement,possibly on the military uses of the movement, and a finalone which will take me a while to think through on arevolutionary program for the movement. So it’s impor¬tant to understand that that Ramparts article is imcom-plete, it’s just part one.As you have noted in magazine articles, the strugglefor women's equality is not new. How do you respond tothe situation of women in Israeli kibbutzim? Although thefounders set out an ideology of equality between the sexes,slowly but surely the division of labor by sex reappeared,in a lopsided way. While some women worked at pre-dominently male occupations, no males worked in suchpredominently female “service” occupations as the laun¬dry or child care. Does this bode ill for women’s lib?Oh, not at all. In the first case, most of the people, asI understand it — I’m not an expert in this and I don’tread about it a lot — were adults, so that their earlypatterns of socialization persisted, the women gave in tomen, the traditional patterns reasserted themselves. Andthis just demonstrates that it is impossible to liberatewomen without a transformation of the society.You can make things materially a little better forwomen, you can get equal work for equal pay, you canabolish all of the inhuman, murderous abortion laws, butthat will not solve the oppression of women, that will notcreate a society in which people are raised, reared, tohave respect for human beings and human dignity, it willnot bring about a society in which the wealth of thesociety is used for the benefit of all of the people, insteadof 20 percent or one percent of the population; it will notabolish racism — and there are black women, the mostsuppressed of all. Racism will not go as long as it isuseful to keep people divided against each other, that is,people of one class divided against each other. To increasethe privileges of white women means to increase the op¬pression of black women.What should happen is that all women should strugglefor the liberation of all women. There’s no way to patchup the monster to make it livable, there’s no way. Themonster has to b? destroyed. And if women are going tobe the architects of a new society after the messy busi¬ness of the revolution is completed, they have to be in thevanguard of the struggle and they have to understandtheir stake in that struggle and their unity with all otheroppressed people in that struggle. They must understandthat to increase a few privileges will not set them free butwill make them traitors to all their other sisters.How do you respond to charges against women’s liber¬ation that women are really men haters or for separatismanyway, that they really just band to gripe with theirsisters because they can’t make it on their oum, and areafraid to try to make it on their own?One of the things that happened in our movement, I’mspeaking of the radical women’s movement, not the Na¬tional Organization for Women (NOW), was that it aroseout of the discovery that women made of their own op¬pression. It was a very gut-level response. What they dis¬covered first was the existence of male chauvinism, whitesupremacy, male supremacy.10/Sit-in Supplement/January 30, 1970 IN AD BUILDING: Marlene at sit-in site.Because they were young women they focused onwhere it hurt them the most, and it hurt them the most intheir sexual relationships and it hurt them the most inthat they were denied participation in the movement.What they originally began was a struggle with the men inthe movement on the issue of male supremacy and fo¬cused on the expression of male supremacy which is malechauvinism.The movement should have gone beyond that morequickly than it did, but it didn’t because the struggle withthe men was so prolonged to make the men aware of theoppression of women and that as they practiced malechauvinism they oppressed women. In due time womenbegan to understand that male chauvinism and male su¬premacy were reflections of a system which oppressed allpeople, including women.They began to understand that the cause of the op¬pression of women was rooted in the nature of the system,in the exploitation of human beings. It is through the firstwakening to one’s own pain, the reality of one’s own op¬pression, recognizing that malt ..hauvinism is the imme¬diate cause of that, then realizing that male supremacy isa consequence of the society which exploits people, whichdestroys people, which oppresses people; it is in this waythat women can come to understand, for example, not inan abstract way, that imperialism has to go. They under¬ stand it in a very concrete way; they understand thatimperialism oppresses them.Some groups within the movement have found it verydifficult to move beyond this very primitive level of con¬sciousness, which is to grapple with male chauvinism.They do hate men a lot, because men have hurt them alot. We don’t condemn those sisters, we understand whythey hate men: men hurt women, it’s very clear.But we want to work with them and hopefully theywill be able to develop an analysis that will go beyondthat very early stage. I think the women’s movement hasto be understood in terms of its evolution, of its increasingmaturity. As it grows in size, so the possibility of politicalgrowth and political maturity have been developing withit. We spent a long time struggling with movement menon the issue of male chauvinism, and that struggle imped¬ed our political development because it focused us toomuch on chauvinism and too little on analysis.But also at that time we were not out organizing andreaching women to raise their consciousness, to awakenthem.Now the movement is primarily involved in organizingwomen and is developing politics very quickly. Manywomen are participating in this task in developing politics,organizing women, and understanding that what they wantto do is build another liberation army that can link upwith the other armies of liberation which are being orga¬nized in this country and around the world.Is there anything else you would like to add?Oh, I should send messages of great affection to thestudents of the University of Chicago. Those students wereone of the more lovely experiences I’ve had in life. Theyshould continue their struggle and they should not remainapathetic. They should realize that to engage history is toengage one’s life directly, and they should carry on thestruggle.I really love the students of the University of Chicagoand I think of them often, back there living in that greygothic penitentiary. They deserve better than that. Butthey should be less racist, and less class chauvinist, andthey shouldn’t get hung up on student power again. Theyshould be bad rads, like the exalted alumni of the Univer¬sity of Chicago currently carrying on armed struggle inthe white movement. They have quite a crew to live up to.Howie . .. (Machtinger)... and Jeffrey (Blum) and Jane (Cohen) ... andBernardine (Dohrn?) ... The University of Chicago isvery efficient revolutionary making machine. They havesome very well-known products.Though presently a revolutionary in exile, you do planto return to the States?Yes, when it’s all over at McGill. One never knowswhen that will be. Bet\ftien now and the end of a three-year contract. It could be anytime. Then I will return tothe United States to work for the rest of my life in thestruggle, to the best of my ability.Good Luck.Thank you, I’m gonna need it.Academic Reforms Instituted in Some Areas^iCKENSHITTER: ^ member of the sit-|,rii rov«n9 bend.nowsiree-rn ton the By Paul BernsteinLast year’s sit-in and the disciplinary ac¬tion that followed it were themselves thetopics of much discussion last winter andspring quarter. But the issue that started itall was something called “student power.”It was the demand for a greater studentvoice in the hiring and firing of teachersthat mobilized enough support for an occu¬pation of the ad building, and that was de¬bated upon during that occupation.Students and faculty in various depart¬ments met to discuss the question of stu¬dent participation in its academic affairs;some faculty members defended theirexisting power; the more radical studentscalled the whole discussion irrelevant to thereal nature of the University. The issueseemed to provoke reaction of one kind oranother from nearly everyone.What resulted from all that debate anddiscussion? What sorts of academic re¬forms did the sit-in bring about? Are stu¬dents satisfied with their present voice inpolicy-making?To answer these questions, the Maroonconducted a survey among faculty and stu¬dents in the undergraduate and graduatedivisions, as well as the graduate schools.Survey results indicate that in most casesthe sit-in either directly caused or helpedprecipate the formation of student and stu¬dent-faculty committees through which stu¬dents may air their grievances. At thesame time, there are few examples of aformal student voice in the decision-makingprocess, particularly with regard to facultyappointments.This frequent absence of a formalizedstructure, of a routine that would enablestudents and faculty to work together regu¬larly, has provoked mixed reaction amongstudents.Several feel that informal discussion hasbeen extremely productive, and don’t liketo think of their relationship with the facul¬ty as a power struggle.Others feel that a voice in policy-makingremains the most important objective. Andthe apathy of many students is often anobstacle to any real change.The four main collegiate divisions haveall seen a radical change in student-facultyrelations, with some important steps stillbeing worked out.In the case of the Biology Collegiate Divi¬sion, student disenchantment with the com¬mon core biology course last winter wasperhaps as much of an impetus for changeas the sit-in. The all-faculty governingcommittee responded by authorizing theformation of an ad hoc student-facultycommittee to make recommendations forthe implementation of formalized studentparticipation in the division’s academicaffairs.The ad hoc committee then recommend¬ed a Student Advisory Committee (SAC)composed of six biology students elected inthe division be formed. Up until then, stu-j dent needs had been served by the Under¬graduate Biology Committee (UBC), aI group of non-elected students.Student questionnaires to evaluate teach¬ MARLENE AND FRIENDS: In the Ad building near the end of the sit-in.ing were instituted, and the SAC is nowworking to get the results of those eval¬uations to students.The group also has student volunteers onthe teaching evaluation sub-committee ofthe faculty governing committee, and non¬voting student members on the curriculumsubcommittee. A third subcommittee, thefaculty committee, has remained all-faculty.The SAC’s role, then, is that of gatheringstudent opinion and making suggestions tofaculty, rather than sharing power with thefaculty in decision-making.The student advisory council of theHumanities Collegiate Division formed lastspring have so far created a film programwithin the division, and instituted morepass-fail courses. Also, a drama major nowexists within the Committee on GeneralStudies in the Humanities.Subcommittees of the council include acurriculum committee, and an evaluationconcerned with revising the evaluationquestionnaire of courses and teachers.Members of the council are disappointed atthe low percentage of returns received sofar.The Physical Sciences Collegiate Divisionnow has a student advisory committee,created during the sit-in. The committee’smeetings with faculty have been more in¬formal than those in the other divisions. Asone faculty member put it, “If somebodywants to say something, he says it.”The most important changes the com¬mittee has helped to bring about have beenin the curriculum. The change in the divi¬sion’s foreign language requirement was inlarge measure due to conversations withstudents. Several course sequences havebeen created or altered, including a newpost-calculus sequence. The committee hasalso served to organize social activities.And it has met with college advisers to im¬prove relations between advisers and stu¬dents.At the same time, the Physical SciencesCollegiate Division remains the only one offive collegiate divisions that has not in¬stituted student questionnaires for courseand teacher evaluation. According to somefaculty members, this is due to a lack ofstudent interest in teacher evaluation. Anundergraduate math club tries to serve asthe focus of student opinion, but no broaderreforms are underway. As far as a studentvoice in tenure is concerned, one memberof the faculty governing committee admitsthat he does not believe students shouldhave an influence on faculty appointments.The Social Sciences Collegiate Divisionhas gone further than the others in in¬stituting reforms. An advisory council al¬ready existed before the sit-in. The presentstudent council has assumed the same formand function as the division’s all-facultygoverning committee. Like the governingcommittee, it has a sub-committee on ap¬pointments, curriculum, and general pol¬icies.The student council began institutingquestionnaires for course and teacher eval¬uation last winter, and is the only group tohave published results, which are now partof the division’s permanent record. Al¬though the number of responses to ques¬tionnaires was rather small, it is hoped thatthe council will receive a 50 to 60 percentresponse from each class this year.The student appointments sub-committeehas already worked on several tenure deci¬sions. After gathering as much informationas possible concerning the faculty mem¬ber’s teaching ability, the committee sub¬mits their recommendation to the master ofthe division, who also receives the recom¬mendation of the faculty appointmentscommittee. Inevitably, there remains theproblem of knowing how much weight isplaced upon the student recommendation,but the process has undergone more reformhere than in other divisions.Of the four main collegiate divisions,then, the Social Sciences has the most for¬malized structure for gathering studentopinion, and the closest thing to a regularvoice in decisions.In the area of academic reforms, like inso many others, the New Collegiate Divi¬sion (NCD) has been unique. The smallnumber of students and the absence of anyM ' * ♦ demand for reform has resulted in no for¬mal student or student-faculty committees.Discussion between the two groups is com¬pletely informal, and students seem satis¬fied with the situation. Also, the small num¬ber of faculty members, let alone thosewithout tenure, has worked against the par¬ticipation of students in teacher evaluationand recommendation.The graduate divisions, in most cases,have not gone far to institute a regular sys¬tem of student participation in academicaffairs. This is partly due to a lack of stu¬dent interest in the creation of such a struc¬ture, and partly due to the fact that thegraduate divisions are less cohesive unitsthan the undergraduate ones, with individ¬ual departments taking on more impor¬tance. Nonetheless, several students feltthat important changes had resulted fromconversations with faculty, and that facultyare generally very willing to listen to them.The situation in the Division of the Biolo¬gical Sciences is typical. A student adviso¬ry group now exists which meets for two orthree hours every two weeks or so with thedean of the division and four divisional fac¬ulty members from different departments.A member of the group said “As far asnormal power goes, this group has none atall. The only power we’ve gained is that oc¬casionally people will listen to us, but wehad shown little enthusiasm for activeness,have no decision-making power.” He addedthat students outside o fthe advisory groupthat students outside of the advisory grouphad shown little enthusiasm for activenessTo institute a policy change, students askthe dean of the division to set up a faculty-student committee, which submits its pro¬posal to be voted upon by the faculty mem¬bers of the division.Despite this slow process, the advisorygroup has succeeded in having the division¬al language requirement abolished. Thestudents in the group are now involved intrying to improve the biology library, andin circulating a questionnaire that theyhope will lead to a teacher evaluationsystem. The situation in the graduate Division ofthe Physical Sciences is much like that inthe Biological Sciences. The student adviso¬ry council is not a body with any formaldecision-making power, but has helped tobring about some changes in curriculumand in student life. According to one stu¬dent, much of the apathy existing in thePhysical Sciences Collegiate Division ispresent here also.The student advisory committee in thegraduate Division of the Humanities hasbeen active in recommending of changes indegree requirements and in reviewing fel¬lowship policies. According to an adminis¬trator, evaluations of teachers by studentsare given serious consideration when ques¬tionnaire returns are large enough to makethe results significant.A student member of a policy committeedescribed its power as follows: “we haveadvisory power which is as strong an advi¬sory power as you cold wish for. We ap¬pear before faculty meetings, b it the facul¬ty still makes the decisions.” That situ¬ation has not discouraged some students.One said “The faculty this year is payingmuch more than lip service as to consultingstudents.” Others were disappointed: “Atthe end of last year a lot of activity wasgenerated, and all of a sudden it wasn’tthere.”The student advisory group in the Divi¬sion of Social Sciences serves a functionsimilar to that of the graduate discussions.There are also two kinds of departmentalstudent-faculty committees: some depart¬ments have one committee that meets in¬formally to discuss various student griev¬ances and suggestions; the other kind ofstructure, found in the departments of hu¬man development and psychology, consistsof several student-faculty committees (ex¬ecutive committee, curriculum committee,evaluation committee etc. ..).It is students who are members of thefirst kind of committee who appear to bemost enthusiastic about their relations withthe faculty. In many cases, plans for anincrease in discussion were underway be-Continued on Page 12WOMEN'S LIB: Nancy Stokely and Judy Clark speak to the press.January 30, 1970/Sit-in Supplement/11Sit-In Brings Mixed Results of ActivismRadicals Expelled, Leave andFreak-Out as Quiet ReturnsContinued from Page Onetion was, what they were doing in univer¬sities anyway. Meanwhile the student coun¬cil people had meeting after meeting, ex¬citedly drafting resolutions, calling on pro¬fessors, trying to build up student power(this was perhaps the only real product ofthe sit-in, leading one demonstrator to say,“We thought we had this University by theballs, but we only gave it an erection.”)And Edward Levi sat in the President’sHouse, resolved not to call the police, try¬ing to deal with a situation that he thoughtwas barbaric, outraged that the faculty hadacted stupidly and then had dumped thething in his lap, patiently listening to thedelegations of administrators, deans, pro¬fessors, and students who had come to himwith plans and offers to serve as negotia¬tors. He would not negotiate.jCROSSES: Symbols planted in lawn. Once I went to his house to see if I couldget him to say something publicly. The aca¬demic deans were gathering in the library;the Committee of the Council was waitingin the living room; an assistant vice presi¬dent, who later said to me, appropos of theUniversity’s stance in the sit-in, “We’ve gotto show these guys that their father’s gotballs,” was carrying a load of dry cleaning,wrapped in cellophane, upstairs. Ned Rosen¬heim came out with a can of Schlitz andsat down on the bench next to me, and wetalked for a while. I asked him why themoderates had all been quiet, why no mem¬ber of the faculty had stepped forward withan eloquent explanation of the faculty posi¬tion. And he said, well, it is dirty business,very unpleasant, no one has the time, andbesides no one is really sure.The University is quiet now. The radicalswere kicked out or left in disgust; somejoined the Weathermen; some dropped outaltogether. Marlene is in Canada; RichardFlacks is in California. I have disengagedfrom local politics, my term as editor over,and my inclination dissipated after most ofthe students declined to become concernedwhen the University arbitrarily kicked out40 students, and suspended another 80. ButI don’t think the University is well. Itpatched itself together after the sit-in,much like a man will patch himself togeth¬er after a major freak-out. He goes on liv¬ing, but he knows that he hasn’t answeredsome of the fundamental questions abouthimself. And he knows he will probablyfreak out again. FACULTY VIGIL: Faculty stand outside Ad building protesting discipline.Continued from Page 11fore the sit-in, but their development wasprecipitated by it. Students in various de¬partments voiced enthusiasm aboutchanges in requirements, new course se¬quences, increased student participation invisits of outside faculty, the formation of anextra-curricular seminar, and other re¬forms, all of which were suggested by stu¬dents.One student member of a committee said“at the start there was some resistance onthe part of the faculty. But they’re respond¬ing very well now.” At the same time', stu¬dents admitted that they were not involvedin appointment decisions.In Sociology, the department in which theMarlene Dixon controversy began, ques¬tionnaires are now sent to students when atenure decision is upcoming, and the re¬sults are submitted to the departmentchairman. One student said “I don’t thinkthe Marlene Dixon thing would have hap¬pened if this had been in effect.”Many students on the various committeesin Human Development, however, are dis¬appointed with their present influence. Onestudent called the system a “psuedo-struc-ture.” She added that although curriculumchanges had taken place, they would haveoccured without the present structure. Sheand others felt that students should havevoting power on committees, instead of anadivsory voice.The sit-in seems to have had less effecton the graduate schools than on the under¬graduate and graduate divisions. But fur¬ther generalization becomes difficult. Someschools, such as the library school, the lawschool, and the school of education, haveseen little or no change since the sit-in. Inthe case of others, changes were accelera¬ted by the sit-in but were already under¬way, and have not yet been completed.Students in the divinity school have per¬haps more of an institutionalized voice inpolicy-making than any other students inthe University; but at the same time theyhad been granted much of this power be¬fore the sit-in began. By January, 1969, thedivinity school faculty had voted to givestudents equal representation on all stand¬ing committees in the school. There are AD BUILDING CROWD: Students crowdnow seven student members on the admis¬sions committee, which makes the final de¬cision on whether or not to admit appli¬cants; five student members on the AMphdcommittee (which has control over theschool’s seven academic fields); and six onthe DMn committee, in charge of the pro¬fessional doctor of ministry program.Last spring a specially appointed facultycommittee made several recommendationswhich among other things gave studentsmore freedom in curriculum.The changes were implemented last fall.The school is also looking for a new deanthis year, and a deanship committee com¬posed of three faculty members publishedupon student request a list of the five cri¬teria it was looking for in the new dean.On the other hand, the only academic re¬forms that have occured in the school ofeducation have not met with student ap¬proval. The Master of Arts program (MAT)has been reduced from seven to five quar¬ters. around on the sit-ins first day.Students feel that the reduction of timewill put an extra strain on them to satisfyrequirements. For this reason, members ofa student committee had opposed the mea¬sure. Also, a faculty committee is in theprocess of recommending a new dean (thepresent dean is retiring).The sit-in seems to have had little or noeffect on reforms in the law school. A stu¬dent-faculty advisory committee was set upafter the sit-in, and presently consists of sixelected students., five faculty, and onedean. But the structure of that committeehad been considered before the sit-in began.And students do not see it as having anyreal power.“In terms of the structure of the lawschool and how it operates, there has beenno change at all since the sit-in,” said one.He added that most law students were apa¬thetic to the issue of student power, al¬though there has been a recent interest inchanging the grading system.Reforms have also been slow in the li¬brary school. Students feel that the school’sstudent-faculty council, composed of threestudents and three faculty, play no signifi¬cant role in developing policies. A majordisappointment has been of changes in cur¬riculum. According to a student member,the council received the faculty’s per¬mission to put two students on a committeeto review curriculum, but the committeehas thus far been inactive. Student eval¬uation of teachers by questionnaire was in¬stituted last spring, although the influenceof the results is unknown.The student council in the Pritzker schoolof medicine has had an influence in publi¬cizing issues and stirring debate among thefaculty, rather than in making decisions ontheir own. The council was asked recentlyto gather student opinion on scholarshipsand loan procedures. A student-faculty cur¬riculum committee was formed last June,and several changes in curriculum have al¬ready taken place.Changes in the school of social service administration (SSA) were being consid¬ered as long as two years ago, although anadministrator admitted that the sit-in had“probably accelerated the process.”One change involves the addition of twostudents to each of the faculty committeesthat govern SSA. Before this year, studentshad not even been attending their meetings.The appointments were made by the deanof the school and the dean of students onthe basis of nominations for the positionsby the SSA student association. Studentshave also been added to several curriculumadvisory committees.Student members of the advisory groupof the business school feel that the facultyhas been more responsive since the sit-in. Asystem permitting students to grade theirteachers and classes has been instituted,and is often asked for by the dean whenappointment decisions are to be made.(This was the case in the Judith Long Lawsdecision.)The results of the survey, then, indicatethat the sit-in had its greatest impact onthe academic affairs of the undergraduateand graduate divisions. There has been adefinite increase in student-faculty meetingsin those areas, and in most cases they havebeen productive. But at the same time, thathas often been the only kind of activity thatthe various committees instituted lastspring have seen. Students seldom exerciseany real power on their own, and evenwhen it appears that they do, the amount ofweight given to their recommendations re¬mains unknown. Also, student attempts toget a teacher evaluation system going havein many cases been slowed by student apa¬thy and by difficulties in publishing results.This has made it virtually impossible forstudents to make recommendations on ap¬pointments, even if the faculty shouldagree with such a plan.Faced with the situation of holding onlyadvisory power, student members of com¬mittees have reacted basically in twoways: some feel that the faculty is makingan honest attempt to hear students out, thata lot has already resulted from meetingswith them, and that the whole thing shouldbe given more time before drawing anyconclusions.As one student said, “It’s always dis¬couraging when things that you took forgranted aren’t really worked out. But thepoint is that they can be worked out.”Other students feel they have been givena token advisory voice, and that the wholeproblem of student power remains un¬solved.There are some important questionswhich remain unanswered: how muchmore reform will occur in the near future1?Will many of the plans that are now justgetting started be successful? And is themore important obstacle to student powerreforms student apathy or faculty resis¬tance?And aside from its importance to the fu¬ture of the “student power” movement, theamount of change brought about by the sit-in reflects on the value of that action. Asone administrator put it, “You’d hope thatall that would have amounted to some¬thing.” The question of just how much thesit-in did amount to is important if one isto consider what form of action to takein the future.12/Sit-in Supplement/January 30, 1970 i«;<iResident Masters Plan To Be Wasteful FollyBy Bill PhillipsThe establishment of resident masters isa misdirected wasteful attempt to improvedormitory life at Chicago. The programrepresents a disregard for student needsand desires, an unwarranted subservienceto public relations, and a timing thatevokes suspicion as to the motives of theadministration.The resident master system is a German-Harvardian tradition of little value for Chi¬cago. At Harvard, resident masters presideover a long-established hierarchy of tutors,assistant tutors, and houses of about 500students. The tutors eliminate any dis¬tinction between academic and dormitorylife. Undergraduate intellectual and socialdevelopment is carefully supervised and di¬rected. Large endowments finance a widevariety of activities and facilities (intra¬mural fencing and darkrooms, for ex¬ample) and pay for staff salaries and livingquarters as well. The purpose is the struc¬tured socialization of the Harvard Man. Chicago, it must be remembered, is agraduate institution with a smaller, in-sufficently endowed college. A thoroughemulation of Harvard’s house system wouldplace an intolerable strain on our physicaland financial resources. Yet even more im¬portant, any partial venture in this direc¬tion would be incompatible with the needsand desires of dorm dwellers. The defi¬ciencies of the housing system are primar¬ily physical; unless it is incredibly igno¬rant, the administration must be aware ofinadequate room sizes, furnishings, foodquality, and heating, as well as the desper¬ate shortage of apartments. Yet tens ofthousands of dollars are to house, com¬pensate, and care for resident masters. Itis hard to conceive of 300 Chicago studentseagerly absorbing the wisdom of some sen¬ior professor. The title “master” is enoughto repel anybody. And if the master is pres¬tigious enough to get the job, he’ll probablybe too busy to spend time on it. One sus¬pects that a very comfortable and very cost¬ ly sinecure has been established for out¬going deans and the like. Yet existing dormcultural programs are suffering from alack of interest. We don’t need a duplex inWoodward’s dining room, but we do needdecent food. We don’t want the guidance ofa surrogate father, but we do want sound¬proofing to allow studying in our rooms.Why, then, has the program been in¬stituted? Junior faculty are also being luredinto the dorms, indicating a possible effortto legitimize the housing staff. Yet just thisyear, house autonomy confirmed the grow¬ing independence of students from staff. Amore apparent explanation is that the pro¬gram is a public relations gimmick.

It indicated a return to in locoparentis via a convincing, howeveranachronistic educational tradition.Trustees know nothing about what dormsreally need. But the publicity will scorevaluable points for Ed Levi.Ironically, dollars-and-cents concern fordorm intellectual life only came after thesit-in. Sit-ins embarrass administrators andoffend contributors. By encouraging tradi¬tional intellectual and cultural values, stu¬dents might be directed away from radi-calization and toward loyalty for the aca¬demic establishment. Thus, vast “culturalfunds” were made available for house ac¬tivities. The freshman retreat was resur¬rected (part of “ongoing orientation”) andsuites were built to bring faculty into thehouses. Now we are to have resident mas¬ters. The timing of these innovations castslight on the motives behind them. In amemo worthy of any organization man, thedirector of student housing proclaimed thegoal of these programs: “The further de¬velopment of a house system which canplay a more important role in the totaleducational experience of the College.” Butis this education or is it social control? Inwhose image is this experience to beshaped? Is an unlivable, unwanted, imprac¬tical house system better than the unlivabledorm system we have now? The samememo gave part of the answer: “It maynot be possible to undouble more than 20-25rooms next year.” What we want are sin¬gles for our parent’s children, not someoneelse’s. We want apartments for ourselves,not for our “masters.” The Universityshould abandon this absurd, extravagantplan and spend our tuition increase on stu¬dent facilities. We have no need for facultysinecures, public relations, or social con¬trol.Bill Phillips, 70, is Chicago’s NSA Co¬ordinator and represents Lower FlintHouse in Student Government.The Maroon prints Gadfly columns onany issue relevant to the University com¬munity.

For the Maroon charitablywrote that Radinsky “admitted” there wasrepression in Cuba; in his letter, Radinskyproclaims that there is.“Cubans are not free to organize politi¬cally against the revolution.” That’s nice —and vague. What’s “the revolution?” Theseizure of power in 1959? The ex¬propriations in 1959 and 1960?” The elimina¬tion of independent (pro-revolutionary)union leaders? The present leadership?Some policies of the present leadership?Radinsky doesn’t tell us which of thesethings, some of which socialists supportand some of which we don’t, constitute “therevolution” and cannot be opposed.Some clues are found in Huberman andSweezy’s Socialism in Cuba, published 1969.This is the authors’ second book about Cubaand no one can call them unenthusiasticabout Cuba and Castro. All the more im¬pressive, then, that in the last chapter theydiscuss certain problems. There is a “ma¬laise” which goes “beyond the usual com¬plaints about shortages;” “disillusionmentand cynicism.” The authors also honestlyadmit the falsity of the regime’s claim thatParty representatives are popularly cho¬sen; there are popular nominations, but thenominees “can be vetoed by high Partyauthorities.” The authors discuss the 1968suppression of a “microfaction” in the Par¬ty, and interpret this as a warning — not tothe USSR or pre-revolutionary Commu¬nists, but to “any Cubans who might feeldisposed to take positions or express viewswhich could, rightly or wrongly, be con¬strued as aligning themselves with the mi¬crofaction. And even a cursory reading of Revolutionary socialists view such devel¬opments as inevitable in regimes which,subjected to continued imperialist block¬ade, were never based on the political ruleof the working people, but on what Huber¬man and Sweezy term a “paternalistic re¬lation” of government to people. Such re¬gimes develop not in the direction of class¬less but of class society. Realizing this, H &S nevertheless call Cuba “socialist,” but weare not obliged to do the same. We supportCuba against the United States, for any re¬gime sponsored by the US would be acounter-revolution. But “socialism” meansonly proletarian rule on the basis of massworkers’ organizations. We support theright to strike, to political agitation, etc.,not as fetishes, but as indispensable mecha¬nisms of working class power. Because wethink the present Cuban regime will sup¬press anyone who seriously tries to orga¬nize in this direction, we are in revolution¬ary opposition to it.Why does this matter? Isn’t it our task tobuild a revolutionary movement here?Well, Radinsky and others make Cuba anessential part of their message — and whena worker says, “But the workers don’t runthings in Cuba,” all they can do is burble.In turn, although our political work is tocreate a revolutionary socialist movementin the US, this position on Cuba and other“socialist” countries must be a crucial partof our educational work — for if people’spolitical education does not include thispoint, their eventual recognition that these“socialist” regimes are in fact anti-popularwill help reconcile them to liberalism. Thecritical analysis of serious revolutionariesis far removed from Radinsky’s fawning,which belongs to the genre Trotsky called“socialism for radical tourists.” Trotsky’spoint was that however pleasureable suchaccounts might be, they do not serve theYour father is probably worrying whatyou're up to.

I do not claim to bean expert on Cuban affairs, but I certainlyknow much more about Cuba than Profes¬sor Radinsky.His statement that people opposed to Cas¬tro’s regime are “free to express theiropinions publicly” is erroneous. I couldname countless government officials, politi¬cal figures, working class people, and evenartists who are in jail today for exercisingtheir so called freedom of expression.I grant that since 1959, on the whole, con¬siderable progress has taken place in health and education. But why is it neces¬sary to limit personal and political free¬dom? If as he says only a small minority ofCubans are opposed to the government,why not let them express their beliefsthrough political organization? That is not“asking for a return to high living stan¬dards for the few.”“A feeling of active participation” in therevolution does not necessarily mean thatthere exists participation. Actually, veryfew people (a socialist elite) have any sayas to the way the government is to be run.Is feeling participation without real partici¬pation enough?Professor Radinsky concludes by sayingthat “the large amount of voluntary laborperformed by most of the people demon¬strates their active support for the govern¬ment.” If by voluntary labor he means thatworkers go to the sugar fields merely forthe advancement of the revolution, then heis incorrect. Workers go to the sugar fieldsnot for the love of the revolution, but fromfear of losing their jobs, and whatever littlepersonal freedom they have left.George Volsky, 72are yourcontact lensesmore walk thanthey’re worth?If you’re tired of usingtwo or more separate so¬lutions to take care ofyour contact lenses, wehave the solution.

If you walk into theplace expecting to see an abundance ofsaris, African robes, kimonos, or betur-banned sikhs about, you’ll be disappointed,as most of its residents seem to haveadopted Western dress, at least temporar¬ily. But the people are there.Contrary to popular opinion, I-House isnot predominantly foreign; about half ofthe students who live there are Americans.Thus, a foreign resident can find and get toknow “the natives” as well as people of hisown and other nationalities. A Pakistanistudent says, “You don’t get to know theAmerican student by being in his class be¬cause there you just say ‘hello’ and ‘good¬bye’ and rush off to another class. Here, Isee him at meals in his room, in the lounge.I am living with him, and he becomes myfriend.”The I-House facilities provide much op¬portunity for interaction among its resi¬dents: the cafeteria, general lounges, theNational Floor, with six meeting rooms, atable tennis room, tennis courts, TV rooms,a large assembly hall ,a gift shop, and alibrary which is stocked with foreign news¬papers and periodicals.The students who live there exhibit var¬ ying opinions about life in I-House. Thefood in the cafeteria, the size of the rooms,and the institutional atmosphere are tar¬gets of frequent criticisms. Being graduatestudents, many people have limited timefor meeting and getting to know more thanthe typical small circle of friends, and citeconvenience of location and moderate costas reasons to live there, rather than theopportunity to meet many kinds of people.“I dislike it here, but I’m too lazy tomove,” said one Israeli student, “It isn’twhat you’d expect.” Another finds it“pleasant. I can be alone when I wish, or ifI want company, there are always peoplearound. A disadvantage is the lack of priva¬cy here with regard to relations with fe¬males.”Some students, after spending a while inI-House, have come to feel that “differ¬ences among people don’t depend on nation¬ality. Everyone is an individual, and na¬tional distinctions are only habits, like thefact that some people are always takingbaths, and some barely take baths.” An In¬dian woman says she has made manyfriends here, but will look for an apartmentfor next year, since “there are many otherways to meet people.”David G. Utley, director of I-House sinceSeptember, describes the program ofI-House, saying “the place tends to be atight little island, without much impact onstudents outside the house” — somethingwhich he expects to change as the program develops and people become more aware ofits activities. The program now includes:• the Festival of Nations, held in April,which includes the serving of foreign foodprepared by the students, an exhibition ofnandicrafts and articles from many coun¬tries, and a continuous showing of foreigndocumentary and travel films• Thanksgiving Hospitality, throughwhich all foreign students in the Chicagoarea (about 4000) are invited to be theguests of American families of the sur¬rounding area for a four day period. Sometowns cooperating in this project are asfar as 200 miles away, and the transporta¬tion is provided by the towns.• the Washington Seminar in March,Foreign Student Service Council. Twentystudents are selected for the opportunityof observing the day-to-day process of theAmerican government at its highest levelduring the five-day seminar• the Christmas Holiday Seminar Pro¬gram, with the Agency of International De¬velopment, which includes lectures, tours,movies, receptions, discussions, and socialprograms• a weekly film on Friday nights, begunlast quarter, which has proved to be “verypopular” with the students of I-House, andmay expand to include Sunday nights aswell• a student-run coffee house, opened last week and a “smash success” with the resi¬dents• fireside chats with guests, weekly par¬ties, poetry readings, record concerts, folkdancing, faculty luncheons, a Camera Club,Foreign Wives Organization, and toursIn addition, Utley, as director of I-House,acts as advisor to foreign students, whonumber about 1000 throughout the Univer¬sity; the advisor’s office handles all ques¬tions regarding immigration regulations,including the processing of necessary pa¬pers.The International House Association,composed chiefly of I-House “alumni,” hasoffice space in the building. Their activitiesinclude trips to such places as the MortonArboretum, skiing country, and the Strat¬ford Shakespeare Festival.International House, one of three suchresidences in America funded by John DRockefeller, was built in 1932. The gift in¬cluded the land, building, furnishings, andequipment. All operations are on a self-sus¬taining basis. The employed personnel con¬stitutes approximately 110 persons.Predominant nations represented by theconstituency of I-House include India,China, Japan, the Philippines, England,and Canada. Physics, social service admin¬istration, and business are the mostfrequent fields of study, though four-fifthsof the students are majoring in other fields.Harpetle LimitedBox 600Carbondale, Illinois 62901 may 8-9-10,1970Please forward. ticketsat 14.00 each for the may day fest.Enclosed find my check Q cashierscheck O or money order □ forthe quantity indicated above.-ALLOW 2 WEEKS DELIVERY- fNAMEADDRESSTOWNSTATE ZIPPlease Print1O/Ihft .
