Winter Camp 1979Freshmen forego study for funBy Dave GlocknerIt looks a little like a readingroom in Harper Library. Studentswith open books slump in com¬fortable seats, the worried lookson their faces slowly fading as theyforget about exams and papers andbegin to snore. Only a few zealotsstill stare at Burke or Aristotle.Only three days earlier thestudents on this bus had arrived ata Baptist retreat on Green Lake,Wisconsin, for a weekend (depen¬ding on one’s preference) of skiing,sledding, and hiking, or sex, booze,and drugs. Now, on Sunday after¬noon, they are headed back toChicago for six more weeks ofclasses and study.Every winter, the Universitystuffs its freshman, orientationaides, resident heads andselected faculty members intobuses and ships them off to GreenLake for what administrators havecreatively dubbed ‘WinterWeekend’. This year, roughly 530people made the 4-hour trip Fridav evening to Green Lake Center inSouthern Wisconsin.As the hundreds of Universityskiers joined the several hundredother skiers on the paths, the trailsbegan to resemble the Dan RyanExpressway at rush hour - com¬plete with traffic jams and rear-end collisions. The skillful few' whomanaged to stay on their feet asthey skied down a hill risked tripp¬ing over less fortunate skierssprawled out at the bottom. By theend of the weekend, the trails wereas icy and worn as the skiers.For those intent on getting ataste of “The Great Outdoors,”cross-country skiing was the onlyreasonable form of transportation.A recent rain had turned the ice onthe lake to slush, making skatingimpossible. Tobogganing in thefour feet of snow was little better;one frustrated student describedthe sledding as “like trying to ridea fly down a piece of flypaper.”Skiing became so popular that theresort ran out of rental skis earlySaturday morning. While the skiers took turns fall¬ing in the snow, the party-goersrecuperated from their last partyand wondered whether their liquorwould hold out for the next one.Since the resort is dry, studentsunlucky enough to run out of liquorwere faced with a two-mile hikethrough the snow to the nearest li¬quor store. But even a shortage ofdrinks failed to dampen the spiritsof the truly dedicated, who cameprepared with marijuana, pokerchips, and even a stereo.The weekend had its share of in¬teresting details, among them thebus that was rammed by a car asthe bus turned into the camp; thegirl who discovered how to makejewelry out of little rings from thebottom of toilets, the man-sizedhole in the floor of one of the guesfrooms, and the sight of distinguish¬ed faculty members doing the bun¬ny hop.But not too many students arelikely to have time to think aboutall this for a while - until they beginto crawl out from under a pile ofhomework.

Pro¬blems and issues of particular con¬cern to private colleges will be thefoci of the conference.This will be the first time thatsuch a group of students fromprivate colleges will meet official¬ly to exchange information andopinions, according to StudentGovernment (SG) PresidentStephen Kehoe. The studentgovernment of each college isresponsible for organizing theschool s delegation.Kehoe said any statementsreleased as a result of the con- terence might have an impact ongovernment education policy, par¬ticularly since “probably 75 per¬cent of the members of the higherechelons of HEW graduated fromthese schools.”But the primary importance ofthe Conference is to allow for anexchange of ideas that will benefitthe colleges involved, Kehoe said.Thursday’s meeting was held toorganize committees that willcompile the information needed forthe conference and will select theChicago representatives. Sevenreports on the University will beprepared, one for each of the sevenconference committees.Each conference committee ischaired by a representative from adifferent college. The chairmenhave prepared guidelines for thepreparation of each college’sreports so that the committees willhave data from each school to basetheir discussions on.The conference is being fundedby a $1,300 contribution from eachschool’s group.

UniversityALL ARE WELCOME2 — The Chicago Maroon — Tuesday, January 30, 1979ProfileMorton Kaplan to talk tonight on foreign policyBy Andrew Patner7 he North Viet Namese know President\ixon wants to get us out of Viet Nam beforethe November elections.— Morton Kaplan, professor of politi¬cal science and chairman of the Com¬mittee on International Relations,June 29. 1972.Morton Kaplan has always been a man ofcontroversy. During the Viet Nam War. hewas well known as a “hawk” and was avocal defender of Nixon-Kissinger policies inSoutheast Asia. More recently he has sup¬ported a streamlined American militarypresence in Europe arguing that it is wrongto assume that all Warsaw Pact countrieswould join a Soviet war of aggressionagainst Western Europe. In 1975, with Pro¬fessor Cherif Bassiouni of DePaul Universi¬ty, he authored a “14-point proposal for aframework for peace in the Middle East.”Many observers have creefited this docu¬ment for laying a groundwork for the cur¬rent Egyptian-Israeli peace talks.Kaplan will speak tonight as part of theWoodward Court Lecture Series on “Morali¬ty and Foreign Policy.” The topic stemsfrom his life’s work in international politicaltheory and behavior. In addition to severalbooks on world politics and Americanforeign policy, he has participated in nu¬merous academic forums on American poli¬cies abroad. During the Viet Nam conflict,he and Hans Morgenthau, professor emeri¬tus of political science, were often portrayedas “hawk” and “dove” in their political de¬bates. Kaplan supported the Viet Nam ef¬forts of Presidents Johnson and Nixon modi¬fying his pro-war stance slightly in April of1970 when he supported withdrawal ofAmerican troops on the condition thatAmerican “credibility” were maintained.He opposed the anti-war movement for fa¬voring what he termed a “cut and run” poli¬cy that he said would lose face in SoutheastAsia. When Nixon announced a peace agree¬ment with the North Viet Namese in Jan¬uary of 1973. Kaplan called it “a refutation ofhis (Nixon's) opposition,” and claimed thatAmerican credibility would be increased bythe move. Originally a supporter of HenryKissinger’s dominace in foreign policy deci¬sions, Kaplan later characterized Kissingeras a “dangerous man” without someone ofNixon's power to control him.Kaplan's writing is often from a theoreti¬cal standpoint, and in recent books.

Now is the time to plan for applications for summer &autumn 1979.The Chicago Maroon — Tuesday, January 30, 1979 — 3"Dixon was a symbolof anti-establishment activity"was a very sophisticated, effective strategy,very innovative. You see, at Columbia,Grayson Kirk made a drastic mistake bycalling in the police: the resulting violencemade the students into martyrs. At theUniversity of Chicago, the students did notbecome martyrs. The admistration wasessentially victorious.”Bob SwiftBob Swift is a fourth year student at thePritzer School of Medicine. He attended theCollege from 1968-1972.“It was a time of tremendous fervor andenergy, the air was almost electricallycharged at the beginning of the sit-in. Thatwas atypical for this place — usually therewas such heaviness in the mood of Collegestudents. But it was also a frightening andunsettling time: I didn’t understand myplace in society, in the social system. I wasstill caught up in questions like ‘What am Igoing to be?’ It was a difficult time in mylife, already complicated. The sit-in and thewar and the political attitudes made it aneven more confusing time.“I was an assistant production chief onThe Maroon, which gave me license to enterand leave the Administration Buildingwithout having to worry about being issueda summons. Initially, there was an incredi¬ble, positive community spirit in the AdBuilding — sitting in was ‘fun.’ Certainly thesit-in was one of the greatest social eventsthis campus ever had. People were friendly,united, they sat up all night talking, or ‘rap¬ping’ as it was called then. The sit-in wasalso a fine outlet for frustrations — peoplefelt they were really sticking it to theUniversity. But it seemed to me that in¬terest in the sit-in began to wane after aweek or so. I think Levi knew it would dieand that was why he didn't bother with thepolice or the National Guard. But then theradicals made a real mistake: as the in¬terest in the sit-in began to fade, theybecame even more radical in theirdemands. So instead of further mobilizingstudents they ended up alienating students.People started saying, ‘This is going too far.“By the time the disciplinary hearingsbegan, it seemed that no one was surprisedor exceptionally outraged — theyremembered how radical and perhaps irra¬tional the demands had been near the end ofthe sit-in. And again, Edward Levi, being anexpert in deviant behavior, knew theradicals would lose support. Levi did even¬tually manage to purge the University of theradical element anyway, through the hear¬ings.Why didn 't you sit in?‘I guess it wasn’t an issue for me, andbesides I could sort of participate because ofThe Maroon yet not run risks of expulsion orsuspension. It was interesting though, thatwhen I applied for medical school here, theadmissions people wanted to know about myinvolvement with the sit-in. Competition foradmissions to graduate schools is so roughthat if you took a year off, or if you werearound in 1968, you stand out, it sets youback.. .You must explain any deviation.”What was the SDS like?“Oh, they were extremely vocal, and goodat eliciting liberal guilt. They were almostlike Jehovah’s Witnesses. But they werevery democratic, voted on every decisionand so on. I think they later realized thatthey had to work within established modesto get results. That’s how the Worker-Student Alliance developed.Were many parents worried about the sit-in?“Well, I know my parents were concern¬ed. They were especially worried about mesigning radical manifestos. They livedthrough the 1950’s, you see, so their fear wasunderstandable. They warned me about theFBI and I said, ‘Oh that’s bullshit, they don’tkeep records,’ but later I realized, ‘Yes ofcourse, they do.’ ” Melvin RothenbergMelvin Rothenberg is a professor in themathematics department. In 1969 he wasan associate professor in the department.“My feelings about the sit-in have notchanged in the last ten years. The issueswhich emerged because of the sit-in remainunresolved: there still is not a radical andfeminist professor here.“Certainly there were risks involved withpublicly supporting the students, but afterthe initial decision to support them the riskswere not important. I did have tenure at thattime, which probably made me feel more se¬cure. But there was a lot of hostility directedat faculty members who came out for the su-dents. it was an extremely sensitive issue.The sit-in did divide the faculty; it was theonly topic of discussion for months.“My feeling was and is that the adminis¬tration planned a purge of radical ringlead¬ers in the student body. I did not fully under¬stand their strategy until the end, when thedisciplinary hearings began...then it be¬came evident that not calling in the police,making it an internal matter—diverted at¬tention from what was a deliberate purge ofa distinct portion of the student body. Evensome faculty members who were hesitantabout supporting the sit-in, or who believedthat Dixon was not an issue—even those pro¬fessors supported students who were threat¬ened with expulsion. Often this support wason an individual basis: one professor tryingto protect a particular student. It was easierfor liberal faculty members to expressoutrage about the expulsions because thatdid not entail going against the ideology of adepartment.Were you in the Administration Buildingduring the sit-in ?Yes, I spent a great deal of time there. Itwas a lively, exciting, exhilarating at¬mosphere. Morale was high, students feltthey were really doing something. Peoplecame and went, there were debates, talks,there was some guitar playing...”What sorts of topics were discussed?“Well, there was a group of feminists whoproposed occupying another building bythemselves. That was debated and rejected.There was another discussion about what to do if the police were brought in—whether itwas best to display passive resistance or tofight. I remember a discussion about thecomposition of the student body: greaterminority recruitment was suggested. Therewere debates about the relationship be¬tween the University and the community,specifically the black community. And ofcourse there were some students who urgeddestruction of the University, but thatwasn’t taken very seriously.“For awhile students discussed the poss¬ible incorporation of these issues into thebasic ‘manifesto’ of the sit-in. Such a pro¬posal might have alienated some students,perhaps they felt manipulatd by the left.Then too, there was a sharp division withinthe SDS itself—between the ProgressiveLabor Party, and a faction called the Revo¬lutionary Youth Movement (RYM). RYMfollowed the Black Panther doctrines, theywere a strong suport group of black nation¬alism; and the labor party believed thatblack nationalism divided blacks andwhites, preventing unity.”Was Dixon in the building at all?“I didn’t see her in there; she tried to stayout of the whole thing. She claimed that theissue was not her termination but rather theprinciples of student representation. I thinkshe was frightened—it was an ugly experi¬ence for her. Lots of rumors were circulat¬ed, she was slandered, in fact she was sort ofvictimized by the ordeal.“But the issues raised by the sit-in wereimportant, and they touched everyone. Iknow people who did not support the sit-inbecame politically radicalized severalyears later. Events like the sit-in were sig¬nificant because they brought togetherlarge numbers of people who were con¬cerned about an essentially radical issue.”Edward TurkingtonEdward Turkington was director of studenthousing in 1969, a position he still holds.“Feelings ran the gamut at the time of thesit-in. It was hard to be dispassionate. I ex¬perienced fear, tension — it was no fun to behissed at, to be threatened. Everywhere oncampus, administrators were called names, or were sneered at. My task was a particu¬larly unpleasant one: I entered the buildingafter the students had been in there forroughly a half-hour. I had to walk throughthe building reading the official order fromDean O’Connell, which stated that the stu¬dents had no right to be in the building andwere to leave immediately or else be subjectto University discpilinary action. I stayed inthe building for several hours that day justto see if the students would leave. . . it wasthe third or fourth sit-in during the 1960’sand our general policy was to wait it out.When it became clear that the students werenot going to leave, we went away for severalhours, returning at 10 or 11 pm to affirmonce again the University’s position. We didnot want to imply that our ‘waiting it out’meant University acquiescence, or that notbringing in the police indicated acceptanceof the sit-in.“I returned a week later to the buildingand again told the students to leave. By thattime the administration was giving namesto the University Disciplinary Committee.The number of students in the building fluc¬tuated. there were visitors who gave moralsupport or brought food. By the time the sit-in was over, the building was pretty messy,some equipment had been stolen and therewas scattered grafitti. . . it cost some moneyto clean up the building and replace a fewthings, but there was no real damage.”Did you talk to the students when you werein the building?“Well, you couldn’t really talk to them, itwas impossible to have a rational discussionbecause the lines were drawn, their mindswere made up. Besides, it seemed inappro¬priate for someone like me to try tonegotiate — the administration was sort ofplaying a policeman role and we had to be asstraight-forward as possible.“The situation here was different than atother schools because we chose to deal withthe sit-in as an internal University matterrather than as a case of civil disruption. Wedid this as a protective measure for stu¬dents. Had we called the police, our prob¬lems would have been much worse. As itstood, all we lost was the use of the buildingfor several weeks. Spirits were runningagainst the University at that time and if wehad brought in the police, even students whowere not particularly sympathetic to the sit-in would have turned against us.”What about the expulsions?“That was the disciplinary mechanism ofthe University. I really don’t think we hadmuch choice but to expel them. It was diffi¬cult to be in such an adversary relationshipwith so many students, but it was in the bestinterests of the institution.“There were some students who refusedto leave. I remember passing people in thestairwell in Dodd House and knowing theywere supposed to leave, but we neverdragged them out. We sent letters, waited. .. many of the students wh: refused to leaveimmediately had to when the quarterended.“I don’t think Marlene Dixon was a verygood issue, she was too passionate an issue.But in retrospect that sit-in brought outsome issues that later became important —I heard the expression ‘women’s lib’ for thefirst time that year, for example. I knowthat some students felt helpless, they didn’tlike the world. For many students, takingover the Administration Building represent¬ed a measure of control — they were callingthe shots. But interestingly, the sit-inseemed to have greater social than politicalimpact. It was an all-campus event, a party,it brought students together in a way thatdances and football games never did. Thesit-in unified us — perhaps in a way we don’tever want to be unified igain.“It was a different rid then. There wasmore paranoia, distrust, distaste — on bothsides. And there was lt‘ s communication; itreally was another world. How old were youthen?/ was ten.Marlene Dixon.4✓Exactly ten years ago, 400University students began whatwas to be a two-week occupation ofthe Administration Building.Although several issues were in¬volved in the sit-in, its primarycause was Marlene Dixon.Dixon was a radical and feministassistant professor with a joint ap¬pointment in the sociology andhuman development departmentsof the University. On December 15,1968, the sociology departmentvoted to not rehire her.When students returned fromwinter break in 1969, a meetingwas held by the Students for aDemocratic Society (SDS), somehuman development students, anda group called the Women’sRadical Action Project. Thismeeting produced the “Committeeof 85,’’ which subsequently cir¬culated a petition on behalf of Dix¬on: “We the undersigned, havingreason to suspect that MarleneDixon was fired in part because ofher political activities, because sheis a woman, and because herscholarly activities do not conformto the conservative standardsprevalent at the University ofChicago, hereby petition the ad¬ministration for the rehiring ot THE MAROONVolume 77. Number 31 The Chicoqo Maroon Today Januory 31 1969400 STUDENTSOCCUPY AD BLDG!Marlene Dixon and for the right ofstudents to share equally withfaculty the power to hire and firefaculty.’’On January 10, 100 studentspicketed the administrationbuilding, calling for an openmeeting with Morris Janowitz,chairman of the sociology depart¬ment. Two days later. Dean of theSocial Sciences Division D. GaleJohnson announced he w'ould chaira meeting on January 17. at whichthe principles of faculty appoint¬ment, but not the Dixon case,would be discussed. In turn, theCommittee of 85 demanded thatthe Dixon case be first on themeeting’s agenda.Four hundred people attendedthe meeting. Johnson began byrefusing to discuss Dixon’s casewithout her official permission.Immediately, a motion to discussthe Dixon case was proposed andpassed by students. At that point,about 40 faculty members and ad¬ministrators, including Johnson,walked out.On January 19. the faculty of thesocial sciences division released astatement calling for greater stu¬dent participation. At Johnson’srequest. Dean of Faculties John T. By Claudia MagatWilson appointed a faculty com¬mittee to review the Dixon caseThe committee was chaired byassociate history professor HannaGray.Two days later the Committee of85 voted to hold a sit-in at the SocialScience Building on January 27. asan expression of frustration withthe Gray Committee. The Commit¬tee of 85 also sent a letter toUniversity President EdwardLevi, demanding that Dixon berehired and that students shareequally in decisions concerninghiring and firing of faculty. OnJanuary 27 there was a sit-in atJohnson’s office.Levi rejected the Committee of85's demands on Wednesday morn¬ing. January 29. That afternoon, atan open meeting in Mandel Hall,students voted to take actionagainst the University. At anothermeeting that evening, attended byabout 900 students, it was voted —by a slim margin — to take overthe Administration Building thefollowing day.The sit-in was a peaceful one: itwas the first student sit-in in thiscountry during which the police didnot intervene. In addition tostudents who occupied the building, a group called theChickenshit Guerilla Brigade mas¬queraded around campus pro¬testing the Dixon decision. Fewfaculty members supported thestudents; one professor saidrecently. “They were fearfulbecause of tenure, and those withambitions of becoming ad¬ministrators were told by Levi,Here is your chance to prove how-committed you are to the Universi¬ty-' ”On February 12. the Gray Com¬mittee recommended a one-yearterminal reappointment ofMarlene Dixon in the humandevelopment department, but Dix¬on declined. Nine days later it wasrevealed that a former Ph D. can¬didate who worked with Dixon wasa member of the Red Squad, abranch of the Chicago policedepartment which infiltratedmany student political organiza¬tions.Although the sit-in was neitherviolent nor bloody, one of its reper¬cussions was. On May 5. 1969,Richard Flacks, as associate pro¬fessor in the sociology department,was assaulted in his office and sus¬tained almost fatal injuries on hishead and right wrist. Flacks was a strong supporter of the sit-in andDixon, and a leader of the localchapter of the New University Con¬ference (NUC), an organizationwith goals somewhat similar tothose of the SDS. It was neverdetermined who Flacks'sassailants were: perhapsmembers of , the Red Squad;perhaps fanatical right-wingenemies of the sit-in; perhaps peo¬ple who felt Flacks was not enoughof a political radical Flacks even¬tually left the University, and now-teachers sociology at the Universi¬ty of California at Santa Barbara.Marlene Dixon taught sociologyat McGill University for a year,after leaving Chicago. She is now afellow at the Institute for the Studyof Labor and Economic Crisis inSan Francisco.Students who were issued sum¬monses by the administrationtestified before a DisciplinaryCommittee composed of facultyand students. In all 42 studentswere expelled (separated from theUniversity for 11 quarters and hadto reapply for readmission), andabout 120 students were suspend¬ed. Suspensions ranged from as lit¬tle as one week to as much as twoyears.The Chicago Maroon — Tuesday, January 30, 1979 — 5"Had we called the police,our problemsInterviews conducted and editedby Claudia Magat.The following remarks were recordedduring interviews last week. I triedrepeatedly and unsuccessfully to contactMarlene Dixon and some students who wereexpelled, people whose memories and opi¬nions might have helped paint an evenclearer picture of the times, the issues andthe emotions. In any case. I am convincedthere cannot be a definitive or conclusivepicture of the sit-in simply because it sym¬bolized so many things to so many people.Lorna StrausLoraa Straus is dean of students in the Col¬lege. At the time of the sit-in she was assis¬tant dean of students.“The sit-in so consumed us that when itwas over I just didn’t want to talk about it. Itdoes come back to me now, vividly, it was avery hard time for us all. People would callup at midnight or 6 a.m. and say, What are “I told those three students, ‘Yes. it ishappening—my metaphor was theglacier—there will be greater student voice,but it takes time. We’re working on it now.“Throughout the sit-in there were exten¬sive dialogues among faculty and ad¬ministrators, and in retrospect there was asence of This has got to stop.’ But at thesame time there was a sense of ‘Let’s tryand keep our heads, let’s not react irra¬tionally, let’s rise above it.’Do you still believe it was right to expelstudents?“Yes. it was an appropriate action to take.The University had rules to maintain com¬munity peace, and these students had donex, y or z to disrupt that peace. The chargeswere explicit in every case, and manystudents were ultimately not disciplined atall. But the sit-in was definitely an anti¬community action, and had to be treated assuch. Certainly there was no written rulestating that sit-ins are anti-community ac¬tions, but neither is there a rule stating thatto upset ten drawers in the card catalog inthe library is an anti-community action. Toupset the card catalog would be an anti¬community action nevertheless, no one pretty much of a mess inside. I rememberthe big meeting the night before the sit-instarted. The SDS initially proposed holdingthe sit-in in the library and everyone washorrified. I guess there was a sense thatwherever the sit-in was held would becomefairly grungy. Anyway, the Ad Buildingbecame quite messy, no one picked up gar¬bage and some of the filing cabinets werespilled. But they weren’t painting the wallsblack or anything . . .“After a few days of the sit-in, it becameclear that the University was quite willing tolet the students stay in the building.Everyone appreciated, I think, that Levi didnot call in the Chicago police; he was thefirst University president who had not call¬ed the cops during a sit-in.“But more clearly than the sit-in, Iremember the Disciplinary Committeehearings. Because of The Maroon I was ableto attend all the hearings. My impressionwas that most of the people who sat in hadactually intended to be expelled, and werenot terribly surprised by the outcome of thehearings. People like (Howie) Machtingercertainly did not expect to be around long.“As a student, I was prepared to think theFaculty vigil to protest expulsions, April 1969.we going to do about this...’ And yes, therewas hurt, and there was anger, but Mr. Leviset the tone for us all: no vindictiveness andso on. Even faculty members who were spaton or were called names displayed no realfury at the students.“I was in the Administration Building themorning of the sit-in. I went in with Jeff Met¬calfe and we walked around and talked tostudents. I remember meeting threestudents I knew, outside the registrar’s of¬fice between the two elevators, and talkingto them about ‘student input.’ It was ironicbecause the very afternoon before I had at¬tended a meeting about having studentsbecome regular members of curriculumcommittees. would deny that. So was the sit-in.“But it was not a happy time. I rememberit as one of the most emotionally challengingtimes of my life. It was grim.”Leslie TravisLeslie Travis attended the College from 1968to 1973. She teaches at the LaboratorySchools and is assistant director of theBergman Gallery.“I was working on The Maroon, so I was inthe Administration Building once or twiceduring the sit-in, sort of as a reporter. It was worst: that the University overreacted, andthat the hearings would be unfair. I mustsay that I changed my mind. . . I was in¬credibly impressed by the hearings, thedecisions were ultimately fair. The facultytruly attempted to determine whether or notpeople had been deeply involved in the sit-in, and more important, if they would do itagain. Many students said they were willingto seek other ways of changing the Universi¬ty system, and they were either suspendedor the charges were dropped entirely. Somestudents went into long political diatribes,others just answered the questions. Iremember some students’ parents evenhired lawyers.“Initially the hearings were held in the6 — The Chicago Maroon — Tuesday, January 30, 1979 Faculty leaving January 17 m<Law School auditorium and anyone \wanted to come was able to, butauditorium was overflowing with studeiSo the administration piped the sound ithe basement and announced that studecould sit down there and listen, and talmost caused a riot. As a result, the heings were held in secret locations for awland practically all student observers wexcluded. As time went on, however,hearings became public again becausefuror over Dixon and the disciplinary fceedings had died down.“I do think the sit-in would have happeiregardless of Dixon; people were just lcing for an issue and Dixon was there. Laiit seemed to be common concensus thathadn’t been worth all the trouble, she waithat good a teacher and her research wa:that good either. . . She simply had a smavid following.“But the sit-in represented an opportuito vent a lot of frustration which studefelt then. You knew, for example, that mmen on campus were not in the war obecause they were students. . . that vscary. There was a sense of despair, ofway to work within the system. Vietnwas getting worse and worse, studewanted to be vocal. . . they were upset vlife in the United States.“But there is an aspect of the sit-in whnobody seems to take into account: the fthat the sit-in was partly a product of 1Maroon by virtue of the extensive cover;given the decision on Dixon earlier tmonth. In fact, I think Marlene Dixon wonot have been an issue, if not for 1Maroon. Roger Black (at the time Mar;editor) played it for all it was worth;made Dixon and the sit-in into a media evof sorts. That isn’t to say that Marlene Lon did not represent a greater, more imptant issue: that of student input concerndecisions about faculty members. And th<would have been much worse"meeting after students voted to discuss Dixon.s whoit thedents,id intojdentsd thathear-awhllei were *r, these they pro were a lot of very intelligent, thoughtfulstudents who sat in; they weren’t a bunch ofidiots. The University was a morethoughtful place then. It was never the sameafterwards.”Leonard RadinskyLeonard Radinsky is chairman of theanatomy department. At the time of the sit-in, he was an assistant professor of anatomy.“The overwhelming majority of studentswho participated in the sit-in wanted moreof a voice in the hiring, firing and retentionof faculty. At that time, you see, studentshad virtually no input at all. Marlene Dixonwas a very popular teacher, and thestudents believed that she had not beenrehired because she was both a radical anda feminist. They tried — through normalchannels — to persuade the sociologydepartment to rehire Dixon, and the sit-inwas a last resort attempt.“The administration portrayed studentswho sat in as juvenile and irrational. Myfeelings were and are that the administra¬tion reacted hysterically. At most univer¬sities where students sat in, the administra¬tion spoke to the students, tried to negotiate.Here they just ‘waited it out’ — treating thestudents as the enemy rather than as a partof the University community. Everyonecommended Levi for not calling the police,but that wasn’t out of sympathy for thestudents, I think Levi was afraid of an evenstronger reaction if he did call in the police.“During the two weeks of the sit-in, theadministration set up a sort of ‘propagandamill.’ Any prestigious faculty member whowished to denounce the students publiclycould go in there and run off a statementcriticizing the sit-in. These statements weresent to other faculty members, released tothe press and distributed to the students.There must have been a dozen or more suchstatements, written by famous professors —likening the students to quizzlings and Nazistormtroopers, accusing the students of be¬ing ‘infantile paranoids acting out theirOedipal complexes.’“Add when the building was finallyevacuated, the administration conductedguided tours for faculty members to show-how violent and destructive the students hadbeen. For example, the administrationpointed out a damaged typewriter that theyknew had been wrecked by a member of aright-wing goon squad who got into thebuilding and threw it at a student but miss¬ed. and hit a wall. And the administrationpointed to a busted filing cabinet that theyknew- was broken because someone hadlocked an alarm clock in the cabinet and asecurity officer had thought it was a bomband ripped out the drawer.“But the Disciplinary Committee hear¬ings were even worse. The penalties dealtstudents here were more severe than thoseat most other schools which witnessed sit-ins. and the number of expulsioms was morepenedt look-Later,at shevasn'tvasn'tsmail.t unity,idents: mostr onlyt wasof no;tnamidentst withwhiche factif Theerage- thatwould• Thearoonh; heeventi Dix-npor-mingthere View from the Administration Building during the sit-in. than the combined total of expulsions at Col¬umbia and San Francisco State. The hear¬ings w-ere a terrible ordeal. Even facultymembers who w-ere quiet about the sit-inwere outraged by the hearings. In this waythe administration showed itself to be up¬tight, displaying genuine distaste forstudents, insecurity to. . .1 was very disillu¬sioned by the attitude of the administrators.Were you at all fearful about speaking up forthe students?“Frankly, it never occurred to me not tospeak up because my academic field is notpolitical. My opinion was that subjectivematters loom especially large in hiring andfiring decisions in fields like the socialsciences. But later, when I came up fortenure, my department’s senior facultymembers voted me down. I argued the deci¬sion, asking for scientific grounds — andthey had none. I appealed to the dean of thedivision, and several weeks later the seniorfaculty reversed their decision. But I think itmay be significant that the only professorswho were involved with the students and arestill here in tenured positions — mvself and Lisa RyanLisa Ryan was a first-year College studentin 1969. She left school two years later forpersonal reasons, and is now back in HydePark finishing her degree in Americanhistory.“You couldn’t be on campus and not beaware of the sit-in. I went, in fact, to themass meeting the night before it began.That meeting was in Mandel Hall. . . it wassupposed to be very orderly, run accordingto Robert’s Rules of Order, but at the endthe whole thing turned into a battle betweenthose who wanted a sit-in and those who feltthere were better ways to handle the issue. Iprobably voted for the sit-in . . . but I didn’tgo into the building, and I suspect many ofthose who voted for the sit-in did not actual¬ly occupy the building.“I don’t remember exactly why I decidedto not sit in. My parents disapproved of thesit-in and at that time, their disapprovalalone would have been good reason to par¬ticipate. My impression was that most of thestudents who sat in were freshmen andStudents protest expulsions, March 1969.Mel Rothenberg — are in the sciences. Soyou see it’s sort of ironic, me being depart¬ment chairman now.“The University was different then, therewas more money. Now we re in a no-growthperiod. The point is that ten years ago unlessa professor was universally deemed a terri¬ble teacher whose research was entirelywithout merit, he was rehired. The Dixoncase was suspicious for that reason.Do you think that the sit-in reaped somebenefits for students in the long run ?“Well yes. for a few years after the sit-inthere was greater student voice in cur¬riculum decisions, students served activelyon committees and so on. Students stillserve on these committees, but are not real¬ly active. I would guess their involvement isminimal because of lack of interest. Thatlack of interest might be explained by a pro¬cedure I heard about from someone who satfor a time on the admissions committee.Supposedly, the University began screeningcut students who were considered to be•protest prone.' They were afraid, you see,of another sit-in. As a result, the campusbecame a duller place, because thosestudents who were politically, dynamicwould also have been involved in culturaland social activities. The administrationhas no reason to be afraid now. though,because we have such a docile student body.In that way, the University really lost out.” sophomores, they were very angry, very-radical. And no. they weren’t really surpris¬ed when the faculty started fingering them— it was a generational thing, you expectedbehavior like that from anyone who wasover 30.“Some of my classes were cancelled dur¬ing the sit-in but I don't recall being excep¬tionally upset about that. . . I wasn't too hoton classes anyway. One class I attended wasstormed by the Chickenshitters. . they justburst into the room and demanded the pro¬fessor stop class and talk about, oh. the op¬pression of black people in Woodlawn. And Iremember later, during the disciplinary-hearings. I followed a group of students intoEckhart hall, into a faculty lounge. . . therewere some radicals shouting at a very oldprofessor who was there. That upset me.“I guess ultimately I was disturbed by thesit-in, it disrupted an orderly process, thesocial order. It was too close to anarchy. Iwas more conservative than most studentsabout that. And there were other issues thatangered and upset me more — like Vietnamof course, and then in Spring 1970 there wasa shoot-out at the home of some Black Pan¬thers who lived on the west side. FredHampton was killed, he had been a very-vocal leader of the Panthers. That wasmuch more terrible to me than the Dixonissue.”continued on the next pageThe Chicago Maroon — Tuesday, January 30, 1979 — 7"There was no balancebetween students and facultyin decision-making"Chickenshitters perform guerilla theaterCharles O'ConnellCharles O’Connell is dean of stuuents. aposition he has held for the past 11 years.“No one realized the enormous pressurewe were under to call the police in. OneChicago newspaper even ran an editorialsuggesting that Levi needed a spinaltransfusion, that he was weak in toleratingthe sit-in. We took an enormous amount ofabuse for treating the sit-in as an internalmatter. We did not regard the students asvicious outsiders or criminals; they weredisciplined because they had disrupted theUniversity community, not because of theirpolitical beliefs.“After the sit-in ended, everyone ex¬perienced tremendous relief, but that wascoupled with a feeling of ‘Well, it wasn’t allthat bad. why don’t we give them amnesty’among many faculty members. But theUniversity had to stand by its initial warn¬ings; we told students right from the startthat they would eventually be subject todisiplinary proceedings. We were not aboutto go back on our word and regard them as‘errant children to be forgiven.’ We felt thatyoung people have to learn that actions haveconsequences.“The administration expressed no bit¬terness after it was all over. I don’t think wehad to apologize for our actions; the ad-mistration emerged from the ordeal withhonor.David MobergDavid Moberg received a Ph D. in an¬thropology from the University of Chicagoin 1978. He is national affairs editor of InThese Times, a socialist newsweekly basedin Chicago, with national circulation.“During my first year here as a graduatestudent, I was a little aloof from the cam¬pus. Of course I was wrapped up in studies,but also I was more interested in off-campuspolitical activity. I wasn’t really followingwhat was going on at the Universityalthough I had heard a little about theMarlene Dixon case — enough to be in¬terested in it. So I went to the rally that washeld immediately before the students tookover the building. . . there were somespeeches, and then students were encourag¬ed to enter the building and the sit-instarted. I was fairly persuaded by thearguments given, and saw the sit-in as alegitimate tactic, so I went in.“At first everyone was sort of millingabout, there was a good-natured air in thebuilding which I thought was a good sign. I’dtaken part in sit-ins before, both inWashington and here, in government of¬fices, so I was familiar with how they work¬ed. Sit-ins had proved to be a successful tac¬tic during the early years of the Civil Rightsmovement.“But the atmosphere in the buildingchanged somewhat when a number of facul¬ty began taking down students’ names andgiving them to security guards and ad¬ministrators. Obviously, they were develop¬ing a list for retaliation — this set up ahighly antagonistic atmosphere. Professorswere fingering students they had beenfriendly with... I recall looks of shock on thefaces of some students: these were pro¬fessors they had liked and trusted. So in¬stead of being just a statement, the sit-inbecame a conflict.“My name was never taken down becausenone of the faculty knew my face. I stayed inthe building for most of that afternoon, thenI left, but I returned later in the day, andperiodically during the next few weeks Ivisited the building. By that time moststudents were afraid to go in at all becauseof the disciplinary proceedings.“As I see it, three issues were involved inthe sit-in. First, there were very few women professors; second, there were very fewfaculty members who were part of theMarxist intellectual tradition. Certainly thenumber of Marxist oriented professors wasnowhere in proportion to the importance ofMarxism in world intellectual thought. Andthird, there was the issue of student rights,of the University as a democratic institu¬tion. There was no balance betweenstudents and faculty in decision-making. Ifeel that students should have a substantialsay in the intellectual as well as the sociallife of the University.“The issue of student rights was raised insome departments during and after the sit-in. There were many faculty-student discus¬sions about curriculum, testing procedures,the idea of students reviewing their depart¬ments. But these discussions were initiatedby individual professors and students; theadministration in no way encouraged or at¬tempted negotiations. I thought that washeavy-handed. But again: the first demandof the students was the rehiring of MarleneDixon, and that was unfortunate. She was apoor choice because the quality of herteaching and research was debatable.“So the University took advantage of theweakness of the argument for rehiring Dixon. that is, the dubious merit of Dixon as iprofessor worked in favor of the administration. By confronting only the issue of Dixon— which was an easy thing to do becausethey could simply say Her work does notmerit rehiring — they were able to duck thegreater issues at hand, such as the smallnumber of women professors, or studentvoice in decision-making. If the studentswho organized the sit-in had not placed suchemphasis on rehiring Dixon, if they hadstressed the underlying issues, they wouldhave had more of a case.“I nave some reservations about the sit-in, in retrospect. I don’t think the organizersdid an adequate job of educating the Univer¬sity community; the issues were not suffi¬ciently discussed. Also, the leaders of thesit-in tended to be elitist. I was treatedrelatively coldly; I sensed that the sit-in‘belonged’ to a dozen or so people who wereimpatient, arrogant. . . they wanted to bethe vanguard but they didn’t want to takethe time to really organize the students. Hadthey truly cared about hiring more womenprofessors, had they truly cared about stu¬dent representation — they would have triedto educate and involve more people. Theleadership of the sit-in was poor: they had a‘more militant than thou’ attitude towardless vocal students, toward the Chickenshit¬ters. They were victims of the activist men¬tality and in that way excluded andalienated others.“On the other hand, despite problems withthe leftist leadership, I saw more problemswith the University. That’s why I did par¬ticipate in the sit-in.”Allen MangurtenAllen Mangurten was a fourth year Collegestudent at the time of the sit-in. He now at¬tends the University Graduate School ofBusiness.“I was not an active participant in the sit-in. but my roommate was in the ChickenshitGuerilla Brigade and I got some informa¬tion from him. .The Chickenshitters werestudents who took the aims of the sit-inseriously but did not want to run the risk ofexpulsion, iney just ran around a lot, didsome outrageous things, intimidated ad¬ministrators. .. ,“I was very concerned about my room¬mate. He was actually issued a summonsand I got to attend one of the DisciplinaryCommittee hearings because of him. Thegeneral feeling about the committee wasthat it was a kangaroo court, and that theUniversity was determined to expel or sus¬pend students; they had their minds madeup in advance. My roommate was very for¬tunate; he managed to get some lettersfrom students and faculty members at- that he had entered the AdministrationBuilding as a mediator and represented“the voice of reason” and not the actualdemands of the students in the building. Idon’t know how much weight that argumentcarried, but he was suspended from schoolfor only two quarters. And he even got hissuspension pushed up to the spring because,ironically, he had done the best academicwork of his college career during thatwinter. He eventually went to medicalschool.”Why didn t you sit in ?“Well you have to remember that therewere lots of other issues at that time. I wentto Washington once to protest the war, torexample. But it turned out later when so¬meone did some head-counting that notmany people had actually known MarleneDixon. She became a trumped-up issue, itwas a reflection of the mood at that time:there were students who would have sat inregardless of Marlene Dixon. There wereothers who felt Dixon was an issue but thatthe sit-in was not a good way to get results.But I think there was a blurring of distinc¬tions. people somehow connected the Dixonbusiness with the war. I guess I didn’t makethat connection;I gues Dixon wasn’t anissue — an important enough issue — to me.“Also, there were lots of crazy, frighten¬ing things going on during the sit-in.. for in¬stance, there were some right-wing subur¬banites who came down and were threaten¬ing to bash heads in. And there were con¬siderations about getting expelled.“But there were students who felt thatDixon was an issue well worth the risk of ex¬pulsion, and that the University reallywould change after the sit-in, that it was thestart of a revolution. In fact, 1 rememberasking someone what his impressions of thesit-in were in retrospect and he said that hehad a great time drinking beer and smokinggrass, and if this is what the revolution is allabout then he was right behind it.“It’s funny, I have some sort of mentalconnection with that time period, early 1969.. It must have been about two weeks beforethe sit-in. . .the University was visited forthree consecutive nights by a group called“Living Theater.” They were reallyoutrageous, although that’s too thin a wordThey would involve the audience to a greatextent, you know, come off the stage andstick their feet in your face and say thingslike “The government does not permit me todo this” and reel off a list of about a dozenactions that the government looked down onor prohibited. I remember thinking that thiseptimized the times, you know, this greatcrowd in Mandel Hall listening to antigovernment humor and the tension aboutMarlene Dixon and the escalation of the Bob RossBob Ross received his Ph D. in sociologyfrom the University of Chicago in 1975. He isan assistant professor of sociology at ClarkUniversity.“I was a founding member of the SDS andserved as vice-president of the organizationin 1962. When I came to the University ofChicago in 1964, as a graduate student in thesociology department, I helped start a localchapter of the SDS. But at the time of the sit-in I was on leave from the University, work¬ing for a group called the New UniversityConference (NUC) which was a nationalorganization of faculty members andgraduate students, sort of a spin-off fromthe SDS, with broader themes. My officewas near campus so I was in touch with theissues of the sit-in.... but I wasn’t really in¬volved in it. I did chair the mass meeting atwhich it was decided to take militant action,to hold a sit-in, but that was just a favor toold comrades. I had a reputation for ex¬cellent parliamentary skills and the SDSchapter was at that time very much divid¬ed... they wanted a sort of ‘elder statesman’who could unify the factions?“From the point of view' of the administra¬tion, my public role in that meeting did imp¬ly leadership of the sit-in, but I really wasn'tinfluential at all; I was simply helping tosmooth out some ‘mini-generational’ dif¬ferences.“The NUC did formally support MarleneDixon. But again, you should understandthat at the time I was travelling on theaverage eight days a month, I was not agood judge of the issues. I was aware of ahandful of people who were inspired by Dix¬on’s feminism, but I did not know Marlenepersonally. My impressions were that hercase seemed to capsulate symbolically anumber of focal, important concerns—race,sex, class, the war. She was a symbol ofanti-establishment activity, by virtue of be¬ing a faculty member who would have beentreated more harshly because her viewswere so radical.”What did you think about the expulsions?“I would say that some of those studentsexpected to be expelled, but as a whole Idon’t think people suspected that the o t-come of the disciplinary hearings would beso severe. The reaction of the administra¬tion was considered severe especiallybecause the expulsions meant vulnerabilityto the draft for many students. I think wefelt regretful respect for the intelligence ofthe administration in handling the sit-in likethat; treat,ng it as an internal matter andthen kicking out all the radical students.

"If I scheduled a tournamentduring finals week, people would show up.” said RobertKahn club treasurer, "that’s rabid." But most chess clubmembers have achieved a delicate, guilt-free balance bet¬ween academics and "fun. relaxing" pursuits. "Ishouldn’t be playing chess. I have too much work to do."Kahn said.Only a decade ago the chess club was equally or moreimportant than academics to some students and certainlywas a major factor in at least one student’s decision to at¬tend the University of Chicago. Between 1968 and 1975.Chicago dominated collegiate chess—winning the Inter¬collegiate Team Championship in 1968. 1972 and1973—thanks to a core of three excellent players. EdwardFriedman, now finishing his doctorate in biophysics, wasone of the core Coming to the University in 1971. partlybecause of the chess team's reputation. Friedman playedfor Chicago until 1976 "when my degree became mypriority." He recalls that during the chess championshipyears, the University received much publicity "becausewe were one of the only winning teams here." Of the othercore players. Gary Dephotis received his doctorate inchemistry in 1971 and has given up chess for backgam¬mon; and Harry Floss abandoned graduate work inphysics to become an actuary.In light of the chess team’s glorious past, the club—fromwhich team members are gleaned—has an extraordinari¬ly relaxed attitude: players are welcomed regardless ofability. This year there are 65 members. 15 of whom aregraduate students. Kahn argues that there is no signifi¬cant correlation between being a science or math studentand being a superior chess player: many academicdisciplines are represented in the club and the top ratedmember. Miloslav Nekvasil. is an undergraduate concen¬trating in political science.Harold Winston, who was a history graduate studentand member of the chess club from 1965 to 1974. helped theteam organize the recent Pan American Tournament inChicago. When Winston came to the University from theCity College of New York, the chess club was in shambles,but with organization and the talent of DePhotis. Plossand others the team began to win fame and trophies."Essentially, it depends on luck, that is. where the goodchess players decide to go to school. Not that the clublacks good players now. they just aren’t excellentplayers."When my brother was 15. he organized a chess tourna¬ment in East Hampton. New York, where vie used tospend our summers. It was the year of the Fischer-Spassky match, and chess fever had swept the country.When I tola my brother that I was writing a story aboutthe University chess club he said. ‘ Did you run across so¬meone named Harold Winston?” "Why yes.” I replied,and it turned out Winston had visited East Hampton thatsummer, and won the tournament.The world of chess is a small one: occasionally two players will meet at a tournament in Chicago and realizethat five years before they spoke briefly at a tournamentin New York. But according to Friedman, good chessplayers generally do not make conscious efforts to cometo Chicago to play chess. "All the prize money is in NewYork." he said.A new generation of great young chess players hasemerged in the last few years, but the international mat¬ches remain the realm of older grandmasters like Karpovand Korchnoi, who played for the international champion¬ship title last year. Karpov won. to the chagrin of manyAmerican chess fans who supported Korchnoi "becausehe was fun. flamboyant and had defected from the SovietUnion.”"It's always nice to beat the Russians.” a member ofthe chess club said.According to Keith Keinker. president of the club.American chess fans were also quite disappointed whenFischer refused to defend his title, in protest of the U. Sgovernment's lack of interest in its chess players. At thesame time. Fischer accused the Soviet bloc countries ofconspiring to destroy his game. However, he continues to study and play chess, and has tentative plans for a "WorldProfessional Match" next vear.The University chess club meets from 7 pm to midnightevery Monday, plenty of time for members to analyzegames, receive an informal lesson or participate in tradi¬tional or speed chess games. Speed chess requires aclock: each player must make all his moves in a givenamount of time. Members pay dues of $3 a year, and themoney is used to buy chess sets and clocks, and for tourna¬ment entry fees. The nasty rumor that chess clocks arestored in the basement of Ida Noyes Hall is absolutely un¬true: after a ticking clock was mistaken for a bomb in themen's locker room, the club began taking its chessparaphenalia home on Monday nights.Playing as many challenging games as possible is. ac¬cording to Kahn, the easiest way to improve one's chessabilities. Truly dedicated players additionally subscribeto chess magazines, study the strategies of great playersand memorize openings and variations. But even the mostunambitious chess player might consider taking the gamemore seriously. Afterall. it promises to be a long, snow¬bound winter.Campus filmBy Ethan EdwardsThe Informer* Doc i Although John Fordhad been making features since 1917, this1935 film brought him his first Oscar. VictorMcLaglen delivers a powerful performanceas the Neanderthal Gypo Nolan, who turnsin a friend to the British authorities to col¬lect a reward. In The Informer Ford focuseson the other side of his better-known themesof family and comraderie-isolation. Theoblique lighting and the stylized symbolishwere bold and innovative in their day, butnow seem a bit dated. Tuesday at 7:15.The Prisoner of Shark Island*Doc)Directed by John Ford. Warner Baxterplays Dr. Samuel Mudd, the doctor who wasimprisoned for the innocent act of treatingJohn Wilkes Booth’s broken leg. Followingthe Hippocratic oath didn’t do Dr. Muddmuch good and Booth’s leg never quitehealed anyway. The Prisoner of Shark Is¬land is a moving treatment of one of themore shameful episodes in American legalhistory. Tuesday at 9.The Lucky Lady* Doc» A justly obscureRaoul Walsh silent film featuring thatfamous star of stage and screen, the belovedGreta Nissen. The Lucky Lady is a silly Ruritanian romance enlivened only by thecrisp direction of Raoul Walsh. Wednesdayat 7:15.She Married Her Boss* Doc) Gregory La-Cava does not quite reach the heights of hissubsequent My Man Godfrey, but his talentfor improvisation and his facile wit are inevidence. W'ith the wonderful Claudette Col¬bert. If you’re wondering what the film isabout, I can assure you. she does marry herboss. Wednesdayat 8:30.Ossessione'Doc) Luchino Visconti’s 1942version of James M. Cain’s The PostmanAlways Rings Twice. Italian style. Ofcourse, the mail in Italy is so slow that thisfilm didn’t arrive in the United States untilmore than 30 years after its original release.The story involves two animals in heat whoconspire to kill the bitch’s husband. Oncethe deed is done, their relationship begins todeteriorate. Ossessione is the first impor¬tant work of Italian neorealism. Thursdayat 7:15.The Sin of Harold Diddlebock* LSF » Thereis nothing quite like a Preston Sturgesmovie. People run around spouting odd say¬ings and making speeches to no one in par¬ticular. Sex, money, fame and success are always hovering overhead waiting to fall onsome unsuspecting smuck. just as in theSturges-written film Easy Living a fur coatthrown out of a penthouse falls on a poorworking girl.One of the strongest and weakest aspect ofa Sturges film is the casting. He uses his ex¬cellent company of character actors togreat effect, feeding them lines that arecomprised of American idiomatic speechstood on its head; but his leading actors aresometimes too irritating to be identifiedwith. Sturges’s best films - The Palm BeachStory, Sullivan’s Travels* showing tonighton Channel 9 at 12:58 am) and The LadyEve* showing this afternoon at 5:30 at theArt Institute) - have sympathetic leadingactors, including Henry Fonda. BarabaraStanwyck. Claudette Colbert. Joel McCreaand Veronica Lake.At first thought, Preston Sturges andHarold Lloyd should be a perfect combina¬tion. The movies of both Sturges and Lloyddeal primarily with success and the Ameri¬can Dream; yet Diddlebock points up a dif¬ference between Sturges and Lloyd, and forthat matter Michael Ritchie, the moderndirector most obsessed with the phenome¬non of winning. Where Lloyd succeededthrough luck and Ritchie’s charactersthrough ruthlessness or compromising their values, Sutrges’s protagonists succeed bvdumb luck As Sturges himself states in TheMiracle of Morgan’s Creek, "some havegreatness thrust upon them."Sturges’s first film to come out of that un¬holy union was originally titled The Sin ofHarold Diddlebock After completing thefilm, but before it received a full release tothe public. Sturges argued with Hughes overthe treatment of one of Hughes’s girlfriendson a film Sturges was producing Hughesspread the word the Diddlebock was so ter¬rible that he couldn't release the film.Sturges sued Hughes, but never receivedsatisfaction. Hughes then recut Diddlebock,adding a singing horse at the end of the film,and after several years released the film,under the title Mad Wednesday The printbeing shown by Law School Films has hadmost of the original footage restored.The sad fact is that Preston Sturges’sdirectorial ability does not match his giftsas a screenwriter. His timing is a little off.his reaction shots are too long and his pen¬chant for slapstick bothers 1970’s audiences,as it did 1940’s audiences. This is not to savthat he is as inept a director as Mel Brool-or Woody Allen, but neither does he ha\ -Howard Hawks's sure hand The Sin ofHarold Diddlebock is recommended forthose who enjoy a good laugh Thursday at8:30.10 — The Chicago Maroon — Tuesday, January 30, 1979CalendarTUESDAYPerspectives: “Afro-American Roots of Black FolkMusic,’’ guests Dena Epstein and I)r.
